The nine contestants step through their respective doors, and after getting used to the glare of the sun in the open arena, find that they are fighting in a circular dome much like the Roman gladiators. It gets even more Roman when they realize that besides themselves, there is nothing on the battlefield except typical sand. Around them are thousands of cheering spectators. The doors behind each of them lock tightly.
The crowd cheers.
A gong sounds the beginning of the games off.
