The Arena Match of Malum vs. Vastus was a fight between Glatorian of the Fire Tribe and Jungle Tribe.

Dispute

The village of Vulcanus and the village of Tesara were drawn into an argument over resources, and each sent a Glatorian to do battle in order to decide the outcome. The match was held in the village of Vulcanus. In attendance were Raanu, leader of Vulcanus, and Tarduk, an Agori of Tesara.

Fight

After the fight was initiated, Malum launched himself at Vastus, striking with his sword. Vastus parried the blow and quickly charged towards Malum, closing the gap and surprising the Fire warrior. Using his weapon, he flipped Malum, who landed in the sand. Malum heard jeering from the ground, and was enraged; upon hearing Vastus' proclamation that his brute strength could not win everything, Malum angrily launched himself at the Jungle fighter. Discarding his own sword, he knocked Vastus' weapon out of his hands after tackling him. Malum beat Vastus into a state of submission with his claws, but continued attacking, trying to force Vastus to verbally concede the fight. Strakk interrupted this attack, preventing Malum from attacking further.
