The Games of Saberhaven
Horunes vs. Chek'tu
Entering the Arena is a ten foot behemoth, nicknamed the Human Hippo, he is known as Horunes, and he is of the Giff race who are known as mercenaries throughout the worlds. He is 2000 lbs of muscle. Wearing a safari outfit with a huge battle axe hanging from his side he strides to the center of the Arena carrying two mugs of beer.
Charging into the Arena from the other side is the deadly Thri-Keen gladiator named Chek'tu. He is deadly because of his many attacks and his deadly throwing wedges which can easily take out an opponent from a far.
The Thri-Keen keeps up the charge and leaps 50 feet forward while launching ten of his deadly Chakta's in a blink of the eye.
Prepared for a charge the Giff warrior chugs both mugs and throws them down and lifts his battle axe. Seeing the incoming missiles, he tries to dodge, and the crowd cheers at the display of the dancing hippo.
Horunes was unlucky though, in that, he was able to only dodge four of the stone wedges, while the other six impact him hard all over his body, dealing some massive blows and some major damage to his clothing and himself.
When the Giff warrior looks back up the deadly Thri-Keen is 20 feet in fromt of him, wielding four weird looking weapons known as impalers.
The Giff warrior attacks with his two-handed axe, slicing straight through one of the arms on the right.
The Thri-Keen screams a high pitched scream attacking with his impalers hitting twice and causing two deep slashes into Horunes' safari clothing.
The Giff responds with one more attack, but misses as he swings wide.
Chek'tu stabs with the impaler, piercing Horunes' clothing and go into Horunes' stomach, he picks Horunes up with his strength then uses his other impalers to strike at Horunes lifted body, slicing into his flesh.
Through the pain, Horunes attack twice with his axe, slicing into his arm twice causing the Thri-keen to scream in pain and drops Horunes back onto the ground.
Horunes lays on the ground in pain, and slowly gets up, and sees a charging Thri-Keen.
The Giff warrior tries one last time for a killing blow and swings a mighty swing, but loses his balance in the process due to the loss of blood. His swing goes wild and misses Chek'tu's neck.
Chek'tu, using his left arms, stabs the Giff in the stomach with his first attacks, and then with the strength of ten men, swings the other impaler biting deeply into the giff's side and going half way through his body.
Chek'tu then with a wild cry swings the two impalers with the giff's body launching the dead body of Horunes over 20 yards away with a resounding thud as the body hits the ground in a gruesome display.
Chek'tu retrieves his lost limb and his other weapon then exits the building as the gasps of the horrified crowd continue.
The priests run out and retrieve Horunes his body hoping to repair him and raise him back to life.
