Prologue

On the dark side of seventh moon of the Cronus system stood the Bloodasuem. It was a round stadium with a sand covered arena in the centre lit up with floodlights. It was here that some of the bloodiest battles in the civilised universe were undertaken. It was currently being used for one of the greatest gladiatorial match in the galaxy. Over hundred thousand people had crammed themselves to the grandstands surrounding the arena. These people represented over a million different races that lived in the surrounding galaxies. Each one of them was the best and brightest from their particular planet. Such as Benedict the Abzorbaloffthe greatest singing from the planet Clom to Emperor Zylonius Overlord of the Zygon race.

These people were here to watch Blockbuster Champion of the Mutter Spire take on the ultimate opponent, something that had never been defeated in battle. Blockbuster, a big hulking humanoid with a slightly orange skin was standing in the centre of the arena waiting for his opponent. Blockbuster was built like a brick shithouse and was covered from head to toe in a cleverly craft Polycarbide armour. With a laser sword and a round silver shiny shield made out of a highly polished dwarf star alloy.

The seven foot iron gates leading into arena of the Bloodasuem opened unleashing hell for the waiting Blockbuster. What emerged from the depths of the arena was a man sized figure that was covered from head to toe in sliver. It was a Raston Warrior Robot the greatest fighting machine ever created.

The robot may look harmless but it could generate any weapon it needed from thin air and knew how to use them with deadly results. It could also move faster than the speed of light and has the unlimited ability to regenerate any part of its body. As soon as the gates open the robot disappeared and reappeared ten meters away from Blockbuster. The Raston robot instantly went on the attack generating a metal javelin from nowhere and throwing it as fast as a bullet at Blockbusters head.

Foreseeing the move before it happened Blockbuster was already blocking with his shield and the Javelin harmlessly pinged off it. The Raston robot reacting faster than Blockbuster, generated a broad sword, closed the gap in between them and with some force knocked the shield out of the his opponents hand. Blockbuster then tried thrusting his laser sword into the Robots belly. But before the blade reached it the Raston Robot leapt back fifty meters and started launching javelins at Blockbuster at the rate of machine gun fire. Knowing that the Javelins would rip him apart Blockbuster dived to the ground for his shield.

He managed to get to it in time laying on his right hand side, so his upper body and his lower stomach was protected by the shield while his Polycarbide leg guards received quite a punishment from the Javelins. While he was down there Blockbuster used the sliver shield as mirror to reflect some of the flood light's light towards the Robots centre eye. It was enough to blind the Raston Robot long enough for Blockbusters thrown laser sword to reach its head. The sword hit with a splat and stuck in the Robots head slowly burning through the metal. Blockbuster quickly dropped his shield and sprinted to Robot and pulled out his blade causing the Robot to fall to the ground.

Knowing that the Robot would recover in no time at all Blockbuster started chopping away at it turning the metal body into little pieces, the Laser sword cutting through the Robots metal body like a hot knife through butter. Meanwhile the crowd who had been slowly driven into frenzy by the match now went mad at Blockbusters coming victory and when Blockbuster had reduced the Raston Robot to a light paste with his laser sword, Blockbuster removed his helm and the crowd leapt to the feet. There were thousands of yells, screams and hisses being given from the crowd all of them driven into madness by Blockbusters impossible victory. Blockbuster gave out his war cry that shook the Bloodasuem and started walking out of the arena. The arena attendance ran out a scooped up the paste that was that remained of the Raston Robot. Knowing that it was not destroyed just damaged and it's auto repair systems would reform it for the next battle

The gates opened for Blockbuster and waiting for him on the other side was his manager Spike. Spike is a Homofortamus piscis or otherwise known as a Blowfish, (basically a humanoid with a bright red fishes head). He was wearing an expense bright silver suit with a blood red suit

Blockbuster continued walking to the changing room and Spike joined him by following a few meters behind him.

"Hey champ that was brilliant, you really kicked ass out there" hissed Spike his voice always came out as a audible hissed.

"Where my next fight" asked Blockbuster?

"Glad you should mention that Champ. Have you ever heard of Sol III in the Milky Way Galaxy sometimes known as Earth" asked Spike?

Blockbuster stopped suddenly and turned around to face Spike causing him to jump back.

"Sol III that primitive dung heap, I didn't know it had an Arena let alone opponents worthily enough to take me on" complained Blockbuster.

"The planet has one Gladiator that has potential" said Spike pulling out a handheld holo-projector.

He turned it on and it projected the image of a strong human male wearing nothing but a loincloth.

"His name is Spartacus a Thracian who has recently become champion of a human settlement called Caprica" explained Spike.

Blockbuster nodded his head and said to Spike.

"He'll do".
