Long have we awaited the hour of your command, Sire.... Your spawn shall not disappoint you in unleashing destruction and madness.... The King in Yellow and his flesh-puppets shall fall before us, Mighty Father of Corruption....

The nine star spawn bow before their father and take to the skies with beating wings....


Dread Cthulhu foresaw the coming attack of the Kaiju, and in preparation, had summoned to R'lyeh his mighty star-spawn....

Four are kept at R'lyeh to counter the attack of the two Kaiju, and these four meet Gojira and Mothra in a titanic battle that rages for nearly an hour before the battered Kaiju are recalled by the King in Yellow, lest he lose his most potent weapons....

Four others are dispatched to avenge the attack on R'lyeh.... These four descend on Carcosa in a storm of furious destruction!


You have proven yourselves truly formidable, Fierce Ones.... Perfect mechanisms of destruction and mayhem.... A dangerous force to be reckoned with, indeed.... We hope you will forgive us for imposing upon you to entertain us in a manner you no doubt find crass and wantonly cruel.... Gladiatorial combat to the death asks the utmost of its participants, and when those participants are unwilling pawns in a cosmic game played by superior organisms, It can leave a sting on one's sensibilities....

The star spawn pauses to let its words sink in....

Now, as we have promised, you shall be released onto the mountaintop from whence you were captured, and left to go on your way.... We now have a greater understanding of your capabilities and potential, and shall not treat this information as of little worth.... We shall not underestimate the Fierce Ones when at last we meet on the field of battle, wherever that glorious stage may be.... Farewell, Fierce Ones! You have fought well.... You have entertained us!!

With a final bright flash of green light, the FOs find themselves alone atop Brocken Peak....

The corpses, vomit, and gore have been removed so there isn't a trace of the titanic battle that was waged here mere moments ago....

Though it seems that only seconds have passed since you were trapped and teleported to the Arena of Death to fight for your lives and freedom, and then whisked back to Earth again, it is apparent by the position of the stars in the sky and the coming blush of dawn that several hours of time have elapsed since the FOs were last on Brocken Peak....


Koran.... The Mortal Herald of the thunder god Thor.... Known to the Navajo as Demonhammer.... Has finished the long lifespan of ancient Morbenlok, the Ravener From Aldebaran....

The star spawn pauses to let the profundity of that statement echo in everyone's mind....

Now, as we hath promised, the Fierce Ones shall have their rewards.... Treasures unique and freedom....


The aptly named Fierce Ones have survived two of three bouts, without so much as spilling a drop of sweat, let alone their own blood.... But their final challenge might end their streak of victories.... If they survive this final bout, we shall bestow upon them prizes of great worth, and they shall also have won their freedom, for we shall release them back upon the Earth mountain from which they were captured.... But to win these prizes and their freedom.... They must face an ancient fire dragon from Aldebaran.... Morbenlok, the Ravener!!


Not much longer, noble Dr Allison Jones.... You need not slaughter an entire galaxy for your part of our amusement.... Only one more bout do we have planned for the Fierce Ones just now.... And I assure you, this form of amusement only appears "sick" from your limited perspective, mighty Earthling.... It is quite healthy, from our vaster perspective....


A brilliant display of arcane might from the powerful Fierce One known as Dr Allison Jones.... And a superb demonstration of the power of the mythical Sword of Sif when wielded by a master swordsman such as the mighty Mikey Jay....


The Fierce Ones are clearly deserving of their name.... Now, let them display their deadly skill against an engine of destruction from a searing, volcanic world in the Pleiades.... The dreaded thrasfyr!


In Aklo: Although we are flattered by your invitation to meet you in glorious combat, even we scions of our bellicose father sometimes tire of waging battle ourselves, and desire to be at our leisure to enjoy the stimulating spectacle of others engaged in wanton bloodshed.... Do you understand, noble Derrik of Earth?


For a priceless moment, the star spawn are speechless....

A moment of exquisite slaughter, poetry in motion.... The Fierce One known as Derrik Stonesmith is the perfection of mammalian death incarnate.... Once he lived as the legendary King Arthur.... And this is the second life in which he has wielded his legendary sword, Excalibur, King of Swords and Sword of Kings....


Already, the Fierce Ones entertain us with a spectacular show.... They take our bland arena and create of it an artistic vision of Hell, far more stimulating to our optical organs, would anyone not agree?


In Aklo: For the opening bout, we have chosen to match the noble Fierce Ones of Earth against a savage and frisky Bandersnatch, caught on a jungle-covered world in the Hyades constellation.... Such a creature was once immortalized in the poem of an Earthling known as Lewis Carol.... Now we shall see how it fares against our perilous Fierce Ones!


Well spoken, Heroic Earth tengu! We expect no less from your beak....


In Aklo: We are honored by the presence of the Fierce Ones! Champions of the world called Earth, which our father hath recently conquered! These heroes are the very same brutes who did slay Ithaqua the Wind Walker for our father, of their own volition! And with the nudging of dreams sent to them by our father, slayed the witch of Dunwich, thereby preventing the annexation of Earth by our father's rival, Yog-Sogoth.... These mighty beings recently passed through Loki's Hall of Trials with little effort! Great indeed are these Fierce Ones! And now, they shall serve as our entertainment in the Arena of Death!


One of the titanic, cephalopod-headed monsters rises in the box seat and bellows in a booming voice like an elephant's trumpeting....

In Aklo: Ah! Our next combatants have arrived! We thank you for your patience between combats! As you know, even with thousands of collectors across the known planes, there can sometimes be delays in the action while we gather fresh warriors worthy of the Arena of Death!!


The largest of the spectators are three titanic horrors that must tower over 30 ft tall when standing, are of bipedal form, with heads like massive octopuses, dragon-like wings, rubbery green hides, and clawed hands.... They sit together in a massive balcony projecting over one side of the arena, an apparent seat of honor....
