About this listen

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this season of battle games! Three random events, two teams, one winner. Will they play Blind? Last team on the platform wins, but watch out for the the drones that temporarily blind, deafen, and numb players. Boulder, score the winning goal with a seven-foot ball that can crush players. Breakout, last team standing on a rapidly disappearing platform wins, or any of dozens of other events. Who will be this year's A Rank champion? Find out in this season of Battle Games!

The Battle Games are the most popular international professional sport at the end of the 21 century. Each game has three rounds, which can be any of dozens of sanctioned events. With weapons that stun, every fighting style known to man, and teams from around the world, it is the ultimate combination of melee combat and strategy.

This year's favored team to win is Annuna, with their S-ranked captain and star player Giant Slayer. Disaster strikes when Giant Slayer is injured and put out for the rest of the season. Leadership of the team falls to the militaristic and cruel vice-captain, Harpy. To complicate matters, the team has to deal with an arrogant new player, dark secrets, and their greatest rival team, Thunder. Can Harpy lead Annuna to the A-rank championship and victory, or will they tear each other apart before the games get the chance? Find out in the first installment of Battle Games!
