Yet again, the crowds gather for a blood bath. A Tiger pitted against a Rhino.
As soon as the stands fill, the trumpets blast!
Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war!
You'd think that the roaring crowds, and trumpets would waken one of our fighters. Let's check on that Rhino:
There are boos from the crowd. They didn't come here to watch a Rhino feed, they came to watch it kill.
But wait! There's a commotion on one edge of the lower stands!
The guards were unable to stop the fan from rushing into the arena! Oh no! Now the Tiger opens its' eyes at last!
There is jovial laughter coming from parts of the stands, still others boo at this nincompoop. There are calls from the audience to the Tiger to slay that fan quickly so the fight can actually begin.
The Rhino, its' kind known for being fiercely territorial, has paid attention to the newcomer and is charging at the fan and chasing tiger!
The tiger has been gored by the Rhino's mighty horns! The rhino continues to run laps around the collesseum.
The tiger allows the fan to pet it's soft head. In its' final breaths, it purrs like an oversized kitten. It dies, and the fan curses at the Rhino.
Hark! The fan is going away from the tiger!
The crowd is in turmoil! Many are booing, and throwing produce into the arena. But look! What do the judges say of this turn of events?
The fan has broken one of the spinning blades from its' mechanism and is wielding it like a sword! He stands still as the Rhino charges at him!
Unbelievable! The fan has decapitated the Rhino! Many in the stands are cheering him on! Now instead of produce, flowers are thrown in the stands! The fan collects his prize:
Who is this mystery champion? Where has he come from? What poisonous roots did he eat that inspired him to rush into the heat of the arena? All of that will be answered after the authorities have had their turn questioning him.
For now, Pontius, one of the judges stands up and makes this declaration:
The collosseum guards rush into the arena to apprehend the crazy fan. He surrenders immediately.
Tomorrow, another fight will grace the hallowed arena!
