After a few minutes of walking down the stairs who leads to the Arena underground this prison, Lenard got at the final step and an inmate welcomed him with a baseball bat with nails. A weapon which is nowadays common in Suicide Squad, Zombie apocalypse novels and Yaoi Fucked-up novels. The man was asking him a question.

"Name and your Block?"

"Lenard, North Block." responded Lenard, and he sees the man lowering the bat and welcoming him into this Arena by shaking his hand.

"The King was looking for you, Lenard." says the man to Lenard. "Go to the King's room. He is waiting for you.". He goes back to guarding the entrance, while Lenard is walking to a door which has the sign of "King's Room" with iron letters.

Lenard enters the room without knocking, and there he sees something he was not about to witness. He saw a girl, twerking in front of the north block King, who's sitting on a throne made out of car parts. The girl stopped from "dancing" when she saw Lenard entering the building, and this did not make the King upset, in fact, it made him happy that Lenard was able to come at this challenge.

"Hello, Majesty!" says Lenard to the King.

"Hello, Lenard." says the King, staying on his throne and with a smile on his face. "You know why you are here, right?"

"Yes... It is about a task."

"Not exactly a task." says the King to Lenard. "More like... And entertainment thing. But that is not important. I want you to show our inmates how strong we are. And by that, you have to fight Tim."

"Okay. But why Tim instead of a guard?" asks Lenard, ignoring the female inmate who was twerking to the King and is walking past him, and she licks her lips when she saw Lenard's ass.

"Because there are many guards at Tim level on the gates and on the other side of this prison. Beating Tim will give them morale. And surviving will also gave them inspiration to persist into fighting... Now. You probably wonder why I have organized this fight against you and Tim instead of any other inmate, right?"

"Well... That was one of the question."

"It's simple. You see. You are new here, and the other newcomers didn't have the same... um... "spark" like yours. They have come here, only to become the sheep into a new group, while you are a black sheep, and you stay with Rodriguez, who's a bigger black sheep. You two have done some naughty things against this system, and between blocks."

"That's because it was your order."

"And you two have done the order, which it is still your fault."

Lenard sighs, and this made the King feeling curious about him even more than now. He gets up from his seat, walk slowly to Lenard and when he was close to him, he tells him.

"Life is hard behind the bars, but it is better to be behind instead of a politician slave." he touched Lenard shoulder two times, and then he goes to the door. "Don't forget. In a few minutes, you have to get ready. The entire blocks are going to watch every move you make."

If Lenard didn't was one hundred percentage nervous at this fight, he is now.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" says a man who is presenting the fight, walk around the Arena while Lenard and Tim, a muscular guy, topples wearing a pair of shorts. "Today we've got an important fight and yet, not so excited fight! On this part of the ring it is a man who protected the King, fight a dozen of inmates who were trying two years ago to fight the King and detonate him. It is the unique, and the most powerful man of the guards of the King. TIIIIIMMMMM!"

The man named Tim is showing his muscles to the audience. And there are a lot of them. And the presentation guy is looking at Lenard, and he says with not, so such excitement like he did to Tim.

"And there is Lenard. The guy who'se nobody cares."

"Sheesh." says Lenard after he heard his introduction from the presentation.

The referee came into the ring, and he yelled to those two the rules of this match. Which are completely different from the usual boxing matches. These rules are simple for Tim, but harder for Lenard because: he has to survive three minutes from being beaten or try to knock the guy out by using his fists. Even though he knew karate, there are myths spoken that this warrior was able to squash an orange with his small finger.

The referee gets off the stage, and he runs to the bell, attached to a table, who is barely standing. He rings the bells three times and the fight begins. And the first person who is doing the attack it is Tim, but Lenard manages to dodge the right fist by going into the left side. And he tried to do an attack, but Tim manages to doge the attack of Lenard.

"Good dodge." says Lenard.

"Yours too." says Tim.

Tim does another attack, and Lenard was trying to block the attack, but it didn't work out, so well. The hit has shaken Lenard and almost made him lose balance.
