there's a price tag if a fighter is caught being a mind walker or using special mental abilities is when he's shot by projectile weapon that kills him. This is considered by this word term 'Cheating' something that fighters shouldn't be using period."
Tom folded his arms First One styled as the servant kept talking "Besides your challenging the champion who has managed to win for too much time. People who have lost money from betting wrongly have been claiming that he has some sort of mental abilities involving mind walking. That its reportedly said still disputed on that that he's paid to fight fighters with some huge money sum despite this not allowed for fighters to have period. This fighter in question has appeared by spies to prove this money sum payment done. By reportedly acquiring items such as a dwelling and items related to living there that indicate this. The High Council has made it clear through a representative running this fighting ring as its called as the president the title its used to people. They don’t want fighters to be paid which the talk has gone ignored with the fighter still being paid. They order you to take down this fighter on a permanent basis using physical combative abilities. The Meritanians have indicated that the fighter in question doesn't have anything involving mind walking or mental abilities. They have said that he used previous experience with fighting people in legal fights for too many cycles. They claim he has figure out how to take down opponents as if anticipating their moves in this fighting ring."
Tom didn’t comment a response as the servant added "Take off your shirt now. Shirtless is a must when it comes to being in fights as this one."
He obeyed to toss the servant his shirt who caught it to see the Highlander doing a double take look while appearing to eye him from the waist up.
He resumed folding his arms giving the male a glare who spoke "I warn you that fighters challenging the champion are always brought into the fight arena carried by First Ones able to do that job. The carrying used along with tossing the fighter into the caged ring to meet the champion who's already in there waiting for the fight. Just don't resists to the carrying status."
He didn't comment a response as the servant went to the window. Tom saw the area slide open like a door walking out and saw it shut behind the male. He sat down on the floor crossed legged and kept his eyes onto the door.
The familiar male came back carrying a silver cup minus his top and spoke "Here drink this milk drink. Just sip it. It'll give you some energy to survive taking down the fighter."
Tom took the drink seeing it was white which he sipped it entirely recognizing the taste as the milk drink the Listener bartender handed him. He sipped it entirely to toss the cup to the Highlander who walked out of the room which he resumed folding his arms. He glared at the door seemingly lengthy till the door opened showing six big burly Human males that darted towards him grabbing him from the floor. Him not resisting and got him horizontal while hearing grunting noises from them. They carried him out of the room he seeing the doorway entrance in view. He exhaled a breath as they continued to grunt carrying him out of a lighted hallway into darkness. Him seeing with night vision a ceiling with round objects jutting from it then light came into view while hearing a crowd cheer sounds. He was tossed away from the men to land onto dirt ground. Tom forced himself to get up awkwardly seeing himself surrounded by a large rectangle cage with various people. Tom eyed the people showing them First Ones and Highlanders wearing clothes on their forms that seemed fancy. He noticed movement off his left to spy a male with dark skin looks wearing no top but pants that seemed blue and tight along with white shoes. The male was seen with skin looks reminding him of a Shadonian and Human brown eyes. He grimaced inwardly seeing the male was having hair strands of a Freeloader pulled back that gave him some finger gesture aimed at him. He figured involved coming up to him while having his other hand fisted and some look on the male's eyes that suggested a smirk to him. Tom eyed the male as he heard the crowd give off taunts in Freeloader language ordering them both to fight. Tom heard them insulting the both of them as he heard the gate give off humming sounds that reminded him of something but wasn't sure. He shrugged and recalled his combative art training raised his hands fisting them twin to the male fighter. Tom charged towards him finding the male meeting his charge by throwing fists aimed at him. Tom found the male was avoiding doing kicks after repeated fisting was done. He proceeded to do kicking onto the male's front hitting him onto the chest repeatedly. Tom wound up keeping him at leg's distance each time the fighter charged at him with hands fisted. Tom kept this up repeatedly till he found an opening and kicked the male's chin knocking him backwards who hit the ground on his back with him charging at him. Tom felt annoyance take hold as the male rolled out of his fist's charge after kneeling near him to get up with a fast speed move throwing a fist connecting with his cheek. The fisting onto his chin repeatedly made him thrust a bit back a bit. He shook the blows off and blocked the other fist near his face by grabbing it in a tight ironclad hold. He got up grabbing the male's other fist to grimace as the male head butted him on the front repeatedly. Tom adjusted his holds onto the male till one hand was wrapped around the male's wrists who struggled into his hold with some wide eyed look of fear in his eyes. He grabbed the male by the neck with a free hand and smirked raising him up dangling his feet choking him. Tom wound up sensing the fighter wasn't easily choked who proceeded to kick at him with his dangling feet. He continued to hold the male choking him till he eyed the gated walls to bring the fighter's back into it. He saw the fighter's form shake with eyes wide while seeing sparks of eaters coming from the area along with shaking repeatedly. He let go of male sensing the fighter gave up his life to death from the movements stopped along with seeing the male's eyes closed from it. Tom dropped his holds onto the male who slid down onto the ground showing his back having lines identical to the gate. The lines made him think the area was familiar but couldn’t place it. The humming sound was stopped along with people stopping their taunting to chatter to themselves all over the place. Tom frowned to look at the people as if drawn to see with shock Barry behind the gate watching him. Barry he eyed gave him a golden eyed glare but stopped the golden eyed look but kept the glare on his face aimed at him. Tom frowned as he saw Barry look behind him by the head gesture obeyed to find an opening in the gate. He saw one First One male wearing some outfit gesturing him to get out from standing in the doorway. He obeyed walking out and got gestured by the male to follow him. He again obeyed paying attention to where he was going till they reached the familiar room and he was gestured with a finger to go inside.
Tom sighed and went inside to kneeled eyes onto the door seemingly lengthy as the familiar Highlander arrived and spoke "Your knowledge of electricity as the First Ones call it please."
He frowned and spoke "Don't know what's the term for the word electricity anyway."
He eyed the servant who spoke "Electricity is what's going through the cage bars that gave up this sound First Ones refer by the word humming. You got the fighter to die from after thrusting his form onto it to have his back touch it which also scarred this fighter's back once he was dead."
He stiffened recalling what the servant was talking about from being whipped on the back from a whip giving off various levels of pain. Tom stiffened recalling seeing that whipping done to other Freeloaders and First Ones as a youngster over the time of being raised by the Freeloaders' leader the Queen.
He spoke after the memory stopped its course through his mind "I get it your term of electricity. I didn't know that such a thing of electricity could be transmitted through various objects or used to kill a manoid. The electricity term I had encountered was only used for whips hitting people's backs to cause them pain that rises after each hit. The whipping always stops once the manoid gives off a serious sound of pain despite already screaming from it. This sometimes causes their back to form markings called scars that are sometimes permanent after their healed from bleeding blood from it."
He clamped his mouth shut while eyeing
the servant who spoke "Actually electricity can be transmitted through various objects that are prepared for it with various doses of electricity. One object called metal that you're sitting on along with what the gate is made out of is a very good transmitter for electricity. It is what killed the fighter. The electricity dose was too high for a manoid regardless of species could survive if they touch it with their skin or bare handed. The high electricity dose was responsible for causing the fighter to have marks on his back that are caused by the First One term burned."
He shrugged in response finding himself not caring about what the servant said as the Highlander added "I don’t think this is the last time your to fight fighters here. I suspect that the High Council would have you keep on fighting males who the group wants assassinated just to get out of taking responsibility for their deaths in question."
Tom again shrugged finding himself not caring about the servant's words who added "Ramses transport Mindbender back to the High Council the job is done as ordered."
He found himself in the High Council's throne room after
