Just to let you guys know, my chapter titles will be in blue and anras' will be red

Chapter 3: Lance

Opem stood on the roof, smiling. He was impressed with the fighting abilities of these amateurs, very impressed. The Reapers should pay me handsomely for this info, he thought. But then again, if the Legatus' new team is as good as these two, we could have a very interesting tournament this year. Opem began walking away, mindful of the large approaching police force.

Danny looked at Silas, helplessly.

" Who the heck was that?!" Silas shook his head.

" No idea. but those goons were tough!" panted Silas. Danny sat on the floor, taking deep breaths.

" Seriously man, if that fight had gone on for just 5 more minutes, he would've killed me" he muttered. His words shocked Silas to the core. Danny was always boisterous, arrogant and proud so it stunned Silas that he would admit something like that. Looking at his friend properly, he realised just how close he had come to losing. Danny's armour was scratched and dented. His face was flushed, hair moist. He was in a bad state. A clapping sound made him jump. Turning to the source of the sound, he saw the Legatus was up.

" Well done boys! Very impressive!" he beamed. Silas was amused to see Danny throw a rock at the Legatus in reply.

" Ow! What was that for?!"

" You piece of shit! If you were awake all that time, why didn't you help?!" exclaimed Danny.

" You looked like you had it under control. I mean even an amateur like you could beat Iori," protested the Legatus. Danny leapt at him. Silas grabbed him.

" Relax, I'm joking," chuckled the Legatus. " Call me Lambert by the way,"

" Lambert, don't mock us. We helped you, remember." stated Silas, coldly. Lance smiled.

" Yes you did. You were very impressive, thank you," he replied, sincerely. Silas was taken aback, he let go of Danny.

" Um, yeah, no problem,"

" It was fun, in a way," mused Danny.

" What're your names?"

" I'm Silas."

" Danny," Lambert snorted.

" What're your arena names? Or don't you have one?"

" 'Course we do. I'm Rune," replied Silas. Lambert nodded.

" Nice. And you Danny?"

" Razor," said Danny. Lambert smiled.

" Named after your blade skills?" he asked. Danny smiled.

" Yeah, and my speed,"

They lapsed into silence.

RIIIIIIIIIIING! A loud siren caused them to jump.

" What was that?" asked Lambert.

" Police," replied Danny. Lambert raised an eyebrow.

" You seem familar with it," he accused. Danny snorted.

" Let's just say me and Silas have a reputation,"

" Hang on, weren't you drunk a minute ago?" asked Silas.

" Well yeah, I was but I'm not now." smiled Lambert. Danny raised an eyebrow.

" Weird," he muttered. Lambert walked away.

" Follow me!" he yelled over his shoulder. Danny frowned.

" Where you going?" he yelled. Lambert stopped. Looking back, he grinned.

" Don't you wanna see my mansion?" he said. Danny gasped. Pushing him forward, Silas sighed.

" Either way, we have to go, now!"

Ballard looked at the injured man sitting in front of him. Styx walked in.

" Ballard, who's this?" he asked, noticing the man.

" Iori's goon," replied Ballard. Styx frowned.

" Why is one of that guy's stupid cronies here?" he asked. Ballard smiled. Power Armour assasins were very unpopular in the sporting world. Their agent, Kane, entered the room. Noticing the goon, his face turned unpleasant.

" Keep your gangster ways away from your careers!" he hissed. Ballard smiled calmly.

" Don't worry, he's leaving." stated Ballard.

" Go to the car in 5," ordered Kane curtly, before exiting.

" So what information do you have for us?" asked Ballard, turning to the goon.

" The Legatus has returned," answered the goon. Styx cursed.

" Did he injure you?" asked Ballard, calmly.

" N-No. There were two other men there."

" Who?" inquired Styx.

" I don't know their names but they seemed to be associates of the Legatus."

" Why didn't Iori stop them?" said Ballard. A tense silence filled the air.

" One of them, the one with a dark blue power armour fought Iori to a standstill, the other, in a crimson red power armour, took out 8 of us guards," muttered the goon. Styx gasped. He didn't like Iori, but there was no doubting his prowess. Ballard stood up.

" I will call Reishin. We need to scout these newbies out." he announced.

" And Lambert?" asked Styx.

" Leave him be. I have a feeling he'll come to us anyway." Styx nodded.

" Carla!" yelled Ballard. His PA rushed in.

" Yes sir?"

" Pay this man 400 PP and escort him from the premises," answered Ballard, gesturing at the goon. As the two exited, Ballard looked at Styx.

" I'll say you're ill or something at the press conference, just inform Reishin."

Styx nodded and Ballard smiled.

" Looks like this years tournaments gonna be interesting," he said.

Chapter 4: Home Sweet Home

"Well here we are boys," commented Lambert in a soft voice as he pulled into the driveway of a three story mansion on the outskirts of town. He closed the gates behind him with the nod of a head and drove around the back of the house, into a huge garage.

Silas and Danny took in their surroundings with a hungry curiosity, considering where they were used to living. The mansion itself was modeled in a Classic style, with various alabaster statues dotting the corners, in little acloves, and an overlooking terrace obviously gave an excellent view of the surrounding gardens. The gardens were huge, encompassing the mansion in a lush world of green, again something new to the two friends, who were used to living in the city centre. As they entered the house Danny murmured too Silas,

"So this is what big shots live like."

"This place is something else," replied Silas in a distracted manner as he stared at the lavish exterior of the mansion, noting that the nearest statue along probably cost more than thier entire apartment.

"Welcome to the Villa, my humble abode," announced Lambert, ushering them into the house through a pair of huge oak doors, "I suppose I should show you around, but that can wait. We have more pressing matters at hand. Follow me."

Lambert lead them through a side door and into a open air courtyard, not unlike Classical Roman houses, and lead them around the edge. Ever pillar they passed was obviously meticulously carved out of white marble and had a luxurious feel about it. Lambert looked back at their awe stuck faces, and laughed heartily.

"HA! You should see your faces. Well boys if ya do as good as I think you might, then you could both have houses like this one day."

They reached the end of the courtyard and Lambert opened a pair of double doors that lead to another, smaller courtyard. Unlike the previous one, with all its fountains and artificial ponds, this one had a more modern feel about it. That was probably due to the workshop at the far end, full of computers and power armor parts. Also the man in full power armor beating the crap into a combat drone may have contributed to this aswel.

The man had a white armor with black pauldrons and shins. He also had black lines going down both arms, ending in black vambraces and fists. But they couldnt see this at the moment as he was moving faster than they could keep up. His hands and feet were a blur and the drone seemed to be getting hit from all sides at the same time. Finally, as if distracted by a momentary lapse in judgement, he punched at the drone, missed, flew past the drone at break neck speed and crashed into a pillar right next to the group. Both Danny and Silas leaped out of the way, but the Legatus just stood there and laughed. Another voice resounded from the other end of the courtyard and it sounded peeved.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing? I told you not to try to force the servos too much, or the inertia will take over!" shouted the irritated voice from across the courtyard. The owner of the voice stepped around a blast wall and walked across the courtyard, apparently unaware of the newcomers arrival. He was dressed in green overalls with a welder's visor on his head and a pair of tinted green goggles. Around the goggles his face was blackend with grease and sweat too the point that it was impossible to tell what colour skin he had.

"Ain't my fault Irish, I got distracted by the Legatus," replied the armored man in a strained voice. He had become lodged in the pillar upside down and appeared to be stuck there.

The man who was crossing the courtyard, Irish as the armored guy had called him, glanced around, saw the Legatus standing there with a huge smile on his face and turned back to the man stuck to the pillar. He seemed even more irritated.

"You call that a fucking excuse! You think I care that he *distracted* you? Look what you did to your poor Armor. Its going to take ages, AGES, too buff those dents out, AND YOU think I CARE that you were DISTRACTED!"

All the while Lambert turned around and walked towards Danny and Silas, who had dusted themselves off from their leap.

"Well this is the Ludus, the Training Yard," shouted Lambert, trying desperatly to be heard over the arguement behind him," and these two behind me are Irish, the best goddamn Power Armor mechanic in the world, and Blitz, my prodigy of sorts. Believe me, they love each other really."

Blitz was at this moment being kicked in his armored head by Irish, while shouting expeltives in return. Razor and Rune looked at each other and shook their heads in amusement. Danny selected his disengage button on his HUD and removed his PA. As it folded away into its storage mode, a back pack, Silas did the same. When completely removed, Danny smiled and said,

"I think we'll fit right in here."
