While we're in our off-season, we're bringing you bonus from our friends Battle Cry! The pilot is called "The Fighter".

After the death of their close friend, fighters 13, 21, and 30 work hard to figure out how to make their grand escape. Between a sadistic arena master, relentless bounty hunter,  and demonic guards, their options are limited. However, the arrival of a magic user, showman 42, could give them the edge they're looking for. 

Deep below the surface of a hidden realm, humans are enslaved and forced to fight against beasts of myth and legend. Stripped of their names, these unwilling combatants have no choice but to kill to survive, all for the entertainment of a bloodthirsty audience. However, the seeds of rebellion are taking root, and one determined party of misfits will claw their way to freedom, or be crushed in the process.
