"ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE!?"
The cry within the hallowed walls of the Colosseum was deafening as the announcer spoke, his voice amplified and broadcast through the entire dome through the advanced speaker system and the colossal monitors suspended over the ring and around the seats, energizing the crowd that gathered. Day after day, the sounds of steel clashing together, of angry shouts and pained cries, echoed within the gigantic arena that was Ymaggion's greatest battleground. Today would be no different: now was yet another clash, the sounds that would hail a new champion unequal to any other.
"WELCOME TO THE COLOSSEUM GAMES! EVERYONE, ASK YOURSELF: ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH, HERO ENOUGH, INSANE ENOUGH TO STEP INTO THE RING WITH YMAGGION'S GREATEST WARRIORS!?"
The roar was impossible to decipher. Thousands of people were crying at once, answering the announcer and demanding the carnage to unfold in the ring for their own entertainment.
"IF YOUR ANSWER IS 'YES', THEN YOU'RE A BIG FAT LIAR!"
More howls and bursts of laughter erupted through the stands as the announcer demonstrated his point: images and clips of great battles flashed across the screens, as a warrior in silver-blue armor raged across the arena against a god of fire, the flames of hell scouring the field. A man with the wings of a dragon clashed his spear against the giant blade of another whose armor blazed with gigantic wings of light, snarling at one another as electricity cut through the air from their clashing weapons. A deity in shining armor was struck away by a gigantic mechanical man clad in blue and red metal. A grim reaper in black armor and carrying a gigantic scythe blasted across the ring, his blade flashing down at the very leader of the Colosseum, even as his twin Gunblades flew up to strike.
No, no one in their right mind would dare step foot into the ring with these monsters.
"BUT THAT'S OKAY BECAUSE WE'RE BRINGING THE GAMES TO YOU! TODAY WE BEGIN ONCE AGAIN OUR GREATEST CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT! THE GREATEST FIGHTERS ON THE PLANET ARE HERE TODAY TO MAIM AND DECIMATE EACH OTHER FOR THE TITLE OF THE MASTER OF THE ARENA, ALL FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR AMUSEMENT!"
Upon the top of the circular wall keeping the people from the ring itself, white light spun around the perimeter and flashed, causing hundreds of hexagonal plates of light to flash into existence, forming a protective barrier around the spectators. The inner ring shook as the battlefield was set; causing a rocky floor to manifest within, broken up by a number of a gray, circular panels set into it. Circles of light erupted at the far ends of the arena, shining as they expanded and charged a teleportation sequence.
"SO LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED! TODAY'S FIRST VICTIMS--OOPS! I MEAN, CONTESTANTS HAVE ARRIVED!"
A horn blared through the Colosseum, calling people's attention to the monitors as the names of the first two combatants appeared on the screen in bright, bold letters.
