Chapter 3 - 3 Planet of Vraxar

Galaxy so so vast, and so full of life. Everyone is busy with their own fate, their destiny which brings them and connects them with people of other destiny. Does destiny always have to be good ?

Planet of Vraxar, located in the coalition of Vraxar, is a desert planet which is now occupied by unofficial Sun-kissed soldiers. These guys have no duty to fulfill for. They are just working for the Sun-kissed soldiers for clarity and prestige, helping them find capable soldiers.

Liu and Zao look out the window and sees the glorious planet. It's fame reaches out to the corners of the world, calls out for worthy foes to fight the top dogs of this arena. They are, obviously, very scared and almost shitting their pants. Liu says that he is not going to lose his life at this pathetic circus and so he plots a plan. Liu proposes Zao "We will find the strongest brawler in this arena and convince him to help us" which Zao takes very unseriously as she knows that no brawler is going to help their weak butts.

Nervous Liu and Zao, finally takes their first steps in this planet and sees the neverending chaos this planet had to offer. Their container fleet seems to have landed beside a big market which of course, is run by the Sun-kissed Militia. The first thing they see is how diverse the planet is. Flippians seeling fruits, Chonos children running with no footwear, hundreds of exotic aliens being sold or traded, some kid beating another kid, Axon man drinking, and another's sober! Ha! This place sure is chaotic. Liu and Zao, along with hundreds of other children are being escorted by Sun-kissed soldiers. And they see just how mesmerizing the market is. So many artifacts, Liu would've loved being here except for the fact he is chained. They walk for approximately 12 minutes and then they see the big gladiator arena. It's big, so big in fact, that it could be seen from space.

The children are taken inside the arena, not from the main entrance but from the back entrance. The main entrance is where all of the viewers and gamblers come. Betting on who would win while enjoying the thrill of a battle? Sure sounds fun.

The procedures of getting selected and for which opponent and which "kind" of battle are taken very carefully. At first, all the children's race are identified. Then according to the races abilities, they are chosen for a suitable opponent, who are often picked from the same container fleet. So there's a very slight chance of Liu and Zao being chosen as opponents. After getting their races checked, Liu and Zao gets an ID badge stapled to their dress. They were told to wear this specific dress. "There's a duo system for this arena, if we stick together we could fight as duos" as Liu was saying, they were both taken by an arena staff instantly separating them. What Liu didn't know, is that boys and girls were to be separated when they were in lobby. And it certainly made him very scared once again. Zao was unfazed, as she has already figured out a way out. Liu was taken into Chamber 19, a chamber with more than 200 gladiators, cramped together for rest, or to spend the night. "There's aren't a bed for me" Liu says "Awwww poor baby, not a bed to sleep in? Come sleep with me, in my bed!!" A gladiator says which creeps Liu out. Looks like Liu has to sleep on the floor now. Fortunately for him, there are tons of torn cloths and loins on the ground.

Zao enters her chamber, The chamber 52, an all girls chamber. No gladiators seem to pay a heed to Zao. And she gets to have a bed. Talk about gender equality.

The night comes and Liu is scared shitless, he can't seem to express it though, otherwise he would be the punching bag of the chamber. Liu finds a certain gladiator to his interest. Fanguar, A human gladiator. He never talks to anyone and he is a human? Humans are pretty rare to see these days AND he is a top gladiator aswell!! Surprised Liu gathers up his last few courage and tries to talk to Fanguar. Before he could say something, Fanguar asks him "You want me to help you escape this place?"

"Huh...?"

"Oh..."
