Description: The names "Kino" and "Hermes" are blanked out with static.
Sky is in a coliseum match. The seats are all filled with people cheering for murder, and the arena is littered with large trash, such as wrecked cars. They take a moment when they first walk in to make note of the king sitting in a glass box, the royal seat for spectating. He has a simple yet regal crown atop his head which does not match his gaudy clothes at all, much less the colorful attire of the harem that surrounds him.
Their first opponent is a large man with an iron ball the size of a child on a chain, who scoffs at Sky being his first opponent. Sky asks him to surrender, and he refuses. As the match is signaled to start, he swings the iron ball towards Sky, only for it to simply fly into the air off track and land on one of the cars. Baffled, he looks to the chain, which is broken, and then to Sky, who has a still smoking gun out. He asks if Sky shot it, to which Sky replies they did. He asks if the ball went flying, to which Sky responds it did, and asks him again to surrender. This time, he takes Sky up on it.
The second match occurs at twilight against a thin man wrapped in black clothes. He has metal boomerangs all over his body both as armor and weapons. Sky asks him to surrender, and he refuses. He tells Sky to surrender, but then sneers that even if Sky did, he wouldn't accept it until they were dead. The match begins and he throws all the boomerangs, which Sky runs to the side to dodge. The first few return and he quickly snaps them back into place over his abdomen, and Sky uses the opportunity to drop down to the ground and fire right at the metal blades on his stomach. This causes him to be stunned from the impact, and as the metal boomerangs begin flying back to him over Sky's head, Sky shoots him in the thigh to force him to drop to the ground. This allows the metal blades flying back to go harmlessly over him instead.
Sky wins the match.
Note: the original Japanese does not particularly gender Kino, and by default most people tend to assume Kino is male upon sight, so assume cases of "Miss" etc. are just some polite referral to Kino (one official translation uses Mx.)
