"Getrax and Miller"
"What!!!" Miller shouted out immediately after hearing that he was the one to fight Getrax.
*******
When Miller heard his name and Getrax, he felt cold instantly. The fear of him an ordinary human going against a monster like Getrax seemed impossible.
He would not even have a fighting chance. He was an ordinary human who had knowledge only in martial arts.
Zabat was also shocked as he found out that the first match tomorrow would be between Miller and Getrax.
After calling the name of Miller and Getrax. The Mevorotrian also called some other people that were to fight in different wrestling ring on that day and one of them was Zabat. Zabat was to fight someone but they kept it anonymous.
After mentioning Miller and Getrax, the Mevorotrians did bother to mention the others opponent. They usually kept it anonymous, but today they had called Miller's opponent which was Getrax.
Mevorotrians thought humans were now powerful and they wanted to witness it with their own eyes and so they had made Miller go against Getrax.
Getrax who was sitting on his own was now smiling when he heard his name and the person he was going up against. He could not hold back his smile that it was showing clearly on his face.
"Good, i would show this humans their place" Getrax said to himself. But these words had reached James's ears because of his super hearing.
James immediately looked at Miller, he could see that Miller was now frustrated about the whole thing.
After naming everyone's name the Mevorotrians left and so did the rocky doors close behind them.
James had asked Miller to narrate what happened when the Mevorotrians took him out of the prison. Miller obeyed and narrated the full story to him.
James was upset at the fact that the Mevorotrians thought Miller was as powerful to go against Getrax in a match.
"Can't I take the place of Miller in this match, I mean, can't I fight for him instead, is it not possible?" James asked as he looked at Zabat.
It was clear that Zabat had been in this prison longer than any of them so if anyone was to know anything about this place, it should be him.
"I am not sure that is possible, i have not seen anyone substitute with anyone in this match, if the Mevorotrians come inside the next morning we can ask them." Zabat said looking at both Miller and James.
"I would ask them first thing tomorrow morning, just go to sleep" James said as he looked at Miller and then Patted his head. Miller felt a little better as he could see that James really did care for him.
Although Miller did not like James from the start but now he gradually began to like him. The officer had been sitting there quietly without saying anything.
Inside James's head an argument was now going on:
"Why would you want to fight for that boy, do you know you are risking our life and it is a fight till death, we might die, what is wrong with you" Edmund shouted at James.
"It's better that way, Miller has no powers he cannot even stand against a being like Getrax" James responded back.
"I would not let you" Edmund said.
"You can't control me and besides you are not even in control of our body right now, i am" James said annoyed.
Edmund then kept quiet because he knew it was true, if only he could find a way to gain control over their body, then he could stop him.
*******
It was now sleeping time, most of the aliens there were sleeping. Some aliens did not sleep because of their body did not need sleep.
Zabat had already slept like a baby. Miller himself could not sleep because of the rocky floor and the fact that he might fight Getrax tomorrow; that's if the Mevorotrians don't allow a substitute.
Miller was lying on the rocky floor when he turned to his left he saw James and Zabat sleeping.
When he turned to his right, he could not see the officer, which made him curious. Miller immediately stood up and started looking left and right he could see someone standing at the other end of the prison. The prison was now entirely dark, so it was hard for him to see who it was, except he had super vision or some sort.
He immediately went back to sleep because of fear, he was in a prison with aliens that could kill him In almost an instant. So he did not want to piss anybody off.
Still closing his eyes, he felt someone touching him on his shoulders and when he looked at the who it was; it was the officer.
"It's you" Miller said excited and a little loud. it was like he was talking in an attempt to wake the rest up.
"shhhhhhh" The officer said in an attempt to tell him to keep quiet.
"follow me" the officer whispered in Miller's ear.
Miller immediately obeyed and followed the officer to an unknown place in the prison, they tiptoed so that they would not wake anyone. Little did they know that this was noticed by James.
James had woken up immediately he heard Miller's voice saying: "it's you". Immediately they left James followed behind them without them knowing someone was following them.
Miller was confused as to where they were going, it was like a separate place of the prison, he had never seen before. The officer took him to a place he had never seen before.
It was still inside the prison, but it was a rare sight to be seen. Inside that area of the prison, the bones of creatures could be seen. Miller's guess was maybe those who died in the battle were kept here until they were rotten.
"This is what would happen to you if you don't learn how to fight." The officer said to Miller.
"I really don't want to fight, i just want to leave this place, do you know a way out?" Miller asked the officer.
"I don't know if it's possible, but i believe there is one way out of this prison..."The officer did not even finish the sentence.
"So you two are planning to leave this place without me!" James shouted at the the top of his voice.
