Chaos Arena

Prologue
The dark being sat on his throne, and sipped from a goblet of blood. The door creaked, and opened. Four Toa, blank expressions on their faces, walked into the chamber. Another, taller being lead them, a grin on his face.

"Shadowmaster, the contestants are gathered," said the taller being.

Shadowmaster tossed his goblet on the ground, staining the floor with blood, and stood. "Excellent. We can finally start. Blood will spill this day."

Millennium growled. He could have been doing something useful. But instead, he was locked in a small, disgusting cell. Whoever owned this place needed to do some cleaning.

He could have easily broken out. However, energy chains binded his arms to the wall, and restricted him from movement. Strength could not shatter the chains, and nor could his time powers. He had attempted to age the walls to the point of their destruction, but the chains had seemed to drain his power.

Millennium heard conversation. The single door of the cell opened. The chains immediately disappeared. He found himself in a dark, circular room. There were 7 other confused beings in the room. 2 others appeared. One of them was shorter than the other, and wore black-and-white armor. The other sported black armor and wings, as well as a staff.

The taller being spoke, with a deep, ancient voice. "Welcome to the Tournament. I am Shadowmaster. The one beside me is Twilight," said Shadowmaster. He paused for a moment. "I will be the boss here. There are no rules, but to kill. Refusal to do so will be met with "disqualification"...by which I mean death. I will choose who fights who. Any questions?"

One of the contestants, the Temporal Beast, spoke. "Why should I listen to you? I am an Infinus. I listen to nobody."

Shadowmaster cackled, and wrapped the Temporal Beast in energy chains. "Well, Temporus. I told you my name already. It saddens me when I am called "Nobody"".

Shadowmaster released the Infinus, causing him to fall. "Any more questions?"

There were no responses.

"Excellent."

Chapter 1 - Reptor vs Benjarmin: The Fire Arena
Reptor trembled. He had thought he might have been able to win until he saw the contestants. He was completely paranoid. Still, thinking that he would be fighting in the Fire Arena eased him, somewhat.

He entered his cell, now an elevator. He thought of strategies as the elevator moved up. ''Fire arena, right? There should be lava. Maybe I can kick the opponent into the lava. Maybe it'll enhance my powers. I can-'' His thoughts stopped as the elevator came to a halt. The door opened, and revealed a stone platform. A small body of rock supported the platform. Everything else was lava. Reptor made a leap to the platform, and safely landed.

Another being, a taller, caped Makuta landed beside him. Reptor looked at him in fear. ''Benjarmin!? I don't have a chance!''.

Benjarmin chuckled. "Well, a new toy for me to play with? Ha! Unfortunately, my toys break easily."

Benjarmin charged, knocking Reptor back. As Reptor got to his feet, Benjarmin beat him to the ground again. Reptor acted on instinct, and kicked his feet up into the air. To his surprise, Benjarmin wasn't expecting this, and flew backwards.

Reptor took the advantage and got up again. Before he could attack, he noticed something wrong. The platform was moving. Suddenly several small pillars erupted from the ground. The tops of the pillars were armed with spinning blades.

Benjarmin got up, and laughed. He wrapped his chain against one pillar, slowing the blades. He pulled it out of the ground with the chain and hurled it at Reptor, barely missing.

Alright, doing nothing isn't working, thought Reptor. It's time to fight back.

Reptor jumped onto one of the pillars, and shot a blast of flame at Benjarmin. The Makuta deflected it with a blade. The pillars lowered and disappeared, and spikes erupted where the two warriors were.

Reptor jumped out of the way, as did Benjarmin, and lunged at him with his blade. They parried blows, but Benjarmin managed to slice Reptor's arm off.

Reptor screamed. Benjarmin cackled, and wrapped Reptor in his chain. He activated the chains, inducing a massive electric jolt.

Reptor thought it was over. But then...he felt more power. ''Of course! I'm a Vahki! A robot!''.

Reptor laughed, and pried Benjarmin's chain off. "Look who didn't listen in science class," he said.

Benjarmin attempted to fling a shadow bolt at Reptor. The Omega Vahki ignored it, and hurled his own bolt of shadow, knocking Benjarmin down. He grabbed the Makuta's chain, and activated it, jolting Benjarmin as he got up. Benjarmin stammered backwards...and straight off the platform. The lava quickly melted his armor, and vaporized his antidermis.

What was the probability that would happen? thought Reptor. It was over, for now. He had won. But there were more battles to come.
