"Well variety is the spice of life right?" Chelsey commented while leaning over the railing to take a good look at the arena sized model of the city was being set up.
[i]I'll admit. Pretty neat how they magically pull it up from the sand.[/i] She thought.
Suddenly she disappeared.
One by one others started to disappear too. In a matter of seconds every contender had vanished.

They had been teleported, each to another small, dark room. About 1 square meter of space and a door. The doors were locked but they could hear the announcer's muffled voice carry trough the thick wooden door.

[B]"THAT'S RIGHT EVERYONE GET BACK TO YOUR SEATS IT IS TIME FOR THE MAIN EVENT!!"[/B] The anchor's magically enhanced voice echoed trough the arena.
[B]"THE PLAYERS HAVE ALL BEEN TRANSPORTED AND THEY ARE READY TO BEGIN!! AS A SURPRISE, WE HAVE SCATTERED THEM ALL OVER TOWN!! AND WE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PLANS!! THE PLACE IS RIDDLED WITH MONSTERS, TRAPS AND WORST OF ALL, OPPONENT PLAYERS!!"[/B] The man took a second to breathe while the mascot chimed in. [B]"REMEMBER, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE A WATERTIGHT SAFETY SYSTEM, LETHAL MAGIC IS STILL FORBIDDEN KABO!!"[/B] 

[i]The doors unlock and slowly swing open, the blinding bright light of outside stings in your eyes as you step out into the battlefield. You see a few small streets, some of them you recognize. You don't see anyone else yet. Better find your friends, or your enemies?[/i]
