The crowd unanimously gasped at the situation. The other clan members of the Zodiac were surprised at the appearance of Doriama.

“Doriama?”

“How...”

“Weren’t those god damn Dogs watching over him?”

“They got some explaining to do.”

“How dare he show his face.”

Lots of murmurs spread throughout the arena. The leader of the Snake Clan stood up. She had medium length gray hair with red streaks in them. Her eyes were gold and bright. Her outfit was revealing as she wore a bikini underneath her chest chain mail. She wore long armored boots that covered her whole legs.

“Doriama, you have some nerve showing up here. How dare you show your face in front of us all again.”

The crowd started murmuring amongst themselves.

“Now now Hebina, I was only exiled, I wasn’t actually removed from my seat in the Zodiacs which means I have every right to participate in this tournament.”

Hebina turned her attention towards the leader of the Dog Clan. His hair was short and white. His eyes were blue as the ice. He wore black dress pants with a white dress shirt. He wore a black dress vest over his white shirt and had a black tie underneath it. He wore black gloves with his outfit.

“Inusuke weren’t you supposed to keep him in check?”

Inusuke crossed one leg over the other as he rested his chin on his hand.

“I guess you can say I let him go a week or two early because of his good behavior.”

“You bastard, I thought you were supposed to be an obedient little dog.”

“Watch your tongue Hebina, or I’ll rip it from your mouth.”

“What was that you mutt?”

“Enough!”

The leader of the Dragon Clan stood up. She had long pinkish-blonde hair. Her eyes were crimson red. She wore light armor, a mini skirt and had long gloves that reached up passed her elbow.

“Doriama, you know what you’re doing right?”

“Of course Kyari.”

She let out a sigh.

“Alright...Doriama and his candidate are allowed to compete.”

“Kyari!”

“It’s okay Hebina, if he loses, his punishment will be far worst than just another exile.”

“Yeah Hebina, what are you, scared that you’re not going to win?”

“Watch yourself Doriama. Don’t think for a second you’ll be forgiven.”

“I wasn’t expecting to be forgiven.”

After hearing the news the crowd started erupting in cheers and boos. It was a mixed feeling having Doriama and Raion involved in the competition, but one things for sure, the crowd will be getting what they want, a bloodbath.

Raion made his way up to Doriama’s throne and stood by him.

“Is this alright?”

“Of course, just win.”

“Hah...”

“This will be good, since you’re in Group Four you’ll have a good idea of what you’ll be going up against.”

“Yeah I can’t wait to see them in action.”

“Haha I like the enthusiasm, hopefully you can keep it up till the end.”

Mourno raised his arms in the air.

“Alright! With that settled Group Four will include the candidate from the Rooster Clan! Enough of the delay let’s get this tournament started! Will the members of Group One make their way down to the arena.”

“You better win or else.”

“Yes Hebina.”

The candidate for the Snake Clan went down to the arena alongside with the candidates of the Rat and Rabbit Clan.

“Hooh you’re representing the Snake Clan, Cogra?”

“Yeah, kiss the Rat Clan’s chances and your chances goodbye Mao.”

“Woah let’s not forget about me guys.”

“Yare, you’re not even worth mentioning.”

“Rude...”

“Alright! I’ll quickly brief the contestants on the rules of this Battle Royale. If you get knocked out of the ring, you’re disqualified. Other than that, whoever is the last person standing wins. Killing is absolutely forbidden and you will be stopped. Everyone ready?”

All three candidates nodded.

“Let the battle begin!”
