With his stiffening joints and pain all over he had decided that it was time he worked his ass off to get back into shape again, and he had already been starting to jog again here and there but it definitely wasn't enough. The pain in his joints still occurred and his body was screaming for him to get back into shape. Besides that fact, he was apart of the Grim Rays and he barely even acted like it, though in his defense he had been sick and still was, but it was time he stepped out and acted like he was actually apart of the Grim Rays division. The Grim Rays were the fighters, the more battle-driven members of the group and he acted like he was neither of those. It was true he was more of a pacifist than he was a fighter but he joined the Grim Rays for a reason and he would soon have to come to terms with the fact that he can't be a pacifist forever, thus he would have to begin to adapt. Not only was the Grim Rays a fighter division, but the Typhoon on it's own was an anti-group and anti-groups weren't pacifists on most occasions. Marcel would soon come to realize that and hopefully start to adapt the aspects of that fact.
The king cheetah was interest in having a friendly spar with someone else in the group even if he knew he was at a complete disadvantage; no powers, he had only three legs to work with, and he was sick which meant that his strength was greatly diminished until he would make a full recovery. But he wouldn't let that stop him. He had been stale for long enough and it was time he stretched his legs in the fighting portion of things. With this thought in mind, a while back Marcel had heard of a Hidden Colosseum where members of the Typhoon can go for torturing, sparring, fighting, anything pretty much related with violence. At first the mention of the Colosseum had failed to spike his interest, but at this point in time it was his only need to find that Colosseum and request a spar from one of his fellow Crewmates in the group. With that, the king cheetah had found himself asking around, taking paths he normally wouldn't take unless he wanted to get lost, looking around every nook and cranny of the path until finally,
he found it.
He had been near the waterfall of the mountain nearest to Barracuda Bay when he saw a small path off to the left side of the waterfall, the male padding down that path and turning a curb to reveal a set of stone stairs leading upwards that went behind the waterfall. Marcel limped up the stair path as quick as he could, his limp slowing him down. Halfway up the stairs he could feel his chest tighten as being sick had shortened his breath, causing him to only take so much until he ran out of breathing room. After that, it wasn't long until he finally got past and up the set of the stairs, but what faced him now scared him. He had heard talks of patterns being at the end of the staircase in which you had to insert a certain pattern which frankly he had nearly forgotten. He had a few memories to go off of when some told him of the pattern so thus he would have to try and guess and hopefully remember. With his life on the line he only grew more and more nervous.
Marcellus looked between the two skulls and tried his best to remember, outstretching his paw to press one of the skulls, his eyes tightening as he flinched and looked away, waiting for impending doom. Nothing. He opened his eyes hesitantly and looked back at the skulls, clicking the other. Slowly the pattern came back to him and his worries had died down once he remembered it, pushing the skulls accordingly until a rumble shook through the ground and the doors opened to allow him in, a relieved grin plastering his maw and his paws beginning to carry him past the double doors. Instantly the first thing to hit him was a strong wave of heat, causing the male to burn up even more than he already was due to being ill. For a moment he was a bit phased once he peered over the interior cliff of the mountain to see lava beneath, his eyes moving over to fit the stone bridge into his view. He was hesitant to cross but quickly made his way to the straight where he slowly began to make his way across, trying to block out the sounds of cracking lava below him.
He wasn't ready to die yet and he really didn't want to. At the sound of a loud crack of lava, his eyes widened and he quickly sprinted to the other side of stone bridge, gasping heavily for air as the sense of panic died down when he realized he was on the other side.
A sense of relief broke through Marcellus, the king cheetah turning on his heels and walking straight ahead which led him to the large old school Colosseum, his eyes taking in the breathtaking view and remembering every bit of it. On the ground he could see lines of bones and skulls along the sides which made him grow a bit weary, but other than that he was ready. Marcel stepped deeper and deeper into the round walls, making his way completely to the center. "Would anyone like to join me for a spar?" His voice though scratchy, he raised it for it to be loud enough to echo off the walls of the Colosseum in hopes that someone nearby would hear him or just by chance someone had wanted to spar and saw him there as well, assuming the same. At the yell he winced, his throat tightening but he forced back the feeling as he waited for someone to step up.
