In the Valley Of the Kings [Pharohs 1]

"He was kind of funny." Leon muttered, obviously still a bit foggy.

Jazz chuckled halfheartedly as he saw Ryan counter his opponent's punch. "You show the motherf- oh, that's not great." He said, wincing at the body slam.

Calvin noticed Brandon noticing him, and shifted uncomfortably. He wasn't big on being on people's radar, but it was beginning to occur to him that as one out of six, and next in the arena, that was probably not going to be avoidable.

Candice's smile faltered as Ryan fell. She still had faith that he'd recover. Something in her gut told her that he knew more about this sort of thing than his opponent did.

----------------

Brandon looked away from Calvin quickly. He didn't want to know what he was thinking. Probably trying to determine how to break his limbs with the least amount of effort. Instead he looked up at the screen.

"Don't worry. He's smaller and faster than the other guy. He can get out of the situation if he needs or wants to." Brandon said, sounding slightly bored. He had already determined that this would either come to a stalemate or Ryan would surprise him and win.

Leon let out a long "Oooooooh...." as the nut-shot connected.

-------------------

Calvin winced as he looked up at the screen. That was expected, but still looked extremely uncomfortable.

Ryan stumbled slightly as he made his way back to his chair. His hands were shaking and he felt sort of sick. Yeah, he had won. Yeah, he had done some cool shit...But what had he done to that guy? The way he had fallen over like that and just...He shivered and looked around.

"That's right, I'm a fuckin' badass."

----------------

"Uh-huh." Brandon nodded, tongue pressed firmly in his cheek. "You seem a bit shaken up there, buddy."
"Well, I mean, adrenaline rush...hasn't quite worn off yet, you know?" Ryan laughed nervously.
