Althanas suffered from a disease. It festered right in the very heart and soul of the planet and spread to every living thing. A plague overtook the world and nobody seemed to every realize such an illness had befallen the once glorious orb.
The disease that infected Althanas was stupidity.
Nearly every person had moments outright wrought with idiocy. The Ixian Knights decided not to conquer Corone with an iron fist, the Golden Dawn disappeared every couple of weeks before they could even get off the ground, and even Misery Business was viewed as more brawn than brains by the majority of Althanas. Zack Blaze saw this sickness that infiltrated such important organizations and set out to give the patients a good old fashioned cure.
He would recruit the meatheads and train them to become just as intellectually strong as he was. With enough solders of strength, Blaze would be able to roll through a country no problem and accomplish something the Ixian Knights never wished to achieve. He would play the planet as though he were a puppet master and everybody else was a marionette. Every breathing thing would learn to fear the Three Stock, Misery Business, and Zack Blaze.
The arena for his exhibition match was a reflection of Zack's own thoughts on this. All around him stood and sat diseased people. Coughs and hacks echoed throughout the small markets and sweat dripped from the soon-to-be dead people. The Eiskalt Mastermind covered his mouth with the cloth of his hat to avoid inhaling the same air as the plague filled plebes. Soon, his opponent would arrive and the founder of the Three Stock would be able to give him both a physical and educational lesson. He bounced up and down as he awaited the latest addition to his roster.
Another meat headed jock who would one day be revered as a genius.
