Okay, this is a 'darker' Trust Machines story. It basically originated from a series of notes I was exchanging with <span class="username-with-symbol u"><a class="u regular username" href="https://www.deviantart.com/dkfenger">dkfenger</a><span class="user-symbol regular" data-quicktip-text="" data-show-tooltip="" data-gruser-type="regular"></span></span>. I was wondering about the immortality concept and somehow the matter of gladiator fights came up.&nbsp;<br /><br />Then I became intrigued regarding such games and... well... this is the result. ^^<br /><br />Thanks at dkfenger for proofreading!<br /><br />There will be a sequel, but I'm not sure when I'll write it. The next project I've planned is a small series in <span class="username-with-symbol u"><a class="u regular username" href="https://www.deviantart.com/xentience">Xentience</a><span class="user-symbol regular" data-quicktip-text="" data-show-tooltip="" data-gruser-type="regular"></span></span>'s MetaMorph.exe universe. But by now you probably know that what I'm planning to do the current day and what I'm actually doing the next one are two totally different propositions... ^^&nbsp;<br /><br />Anyway, if anyone is interested in how the monsters I've used are actually looking like, here are images. I haven't thought of those designs myself but rather used creature concepts I've found on dA or in the internet:&nbsp;<br /><br />Fight 1<br />Tyler: <a class="external" href="https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.dumparump.com/view.php?id=R2wX34b">www.dumparump.com/view.php?id=&hellip;</a><br />Jacqueline: <a href="http://fav.me/d3ipin6">fav.me/d3ipin6</a><br /><br />Fight 2<br />Daniel: <a class="external" href="https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__4jBCX_LrB8/TUD36s0JFDI/AAAAAAAAAIw/fTsa59fI__M/s1600/LAND%2BBEASTFINAL.jpg">2.bp.blogspot.com/__4jBCX_LrB8&hellip;</a><br />Mary: <a class="external" href="https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-rLdr4z49fX0/TY0RlZKaLXI/AAAAAAAAABQ/dLG7Rdub_3A/s1600/475px-Grick.jpg">lh5.googleusercontent.com/-rLd&hellip;</a><br /><br /><br />TF-Themes:&nbsp;<br /><br />Creature (TF into hideous, dangerous creatures)<br /><br /><br />If you liked this story, feel free to buy me a coffee: <a class="external" href="https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://ko-fi.com/clancy688">ko-fi.com/clancy688</a><br />Many thanks! <img src="https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>
