## Plot

Dave and his friends are on the ship on the way to Cool City, while bickering among themselves. Soon, the ship stops and their capturer, Ron, brings them out of the ship. They are taken to Cool Tower, where the mayor, Derek Cool resides.

They discover that they must always say he is cool, or else there would be bad consequences. After talking to him for some time, they find out they are going to participate in the 5th edition of the Cool Dude Battle Royale and fight to the death with 97 other people, out of which the last man standing wins a golden house in Cool City. Then they are taken to their rooms.

The next morning, after breakfast, the trio are forced to step on pressure plates, if they don't they will be killed by poison gas. After doing so, they are teleported to the arena. Dave immediately encounters a giant villager named Thag, who wants to kill him.

Meanwhile, Carl teleports to a village with about 10 more people. A giant pigman kills all of them, then smells Carl and starts looking for him.

Porkins teleports to the middle of a woods, where he gathers a few basic resources like wood and stone. After killing some rabbits for food, he finds a chest and opens it but then a pigman aims a bow and arrow at him.

Dave runs from Thag and soon sees a chest .He opens it to find a set of golden armor but no weapons. Then he sees a cliff and has a brain wave. He goes towards it and Thag chases him but at the last second, moves aside and Thag falls into water. He is killed by some drowned, ruling out chances of an escape by sea.

The pigman comes closer and closer to Carl, terrifying him. However, he sees the body of an iron golem who had been killed by the pigman, in which he sits. He picks up a shield and sword and easily kills the pigman.

The pigman who had captured Porkins makes him move through the woods to a special location. Porkins suggests they become a team but the pigman says he is to be used as bait. They chat for some time, and he mentions his name is Gammon.

He says he is participating because his friend from his village had been forced to compete and died. He wants to avenge him by killing Derek and mentions that two other strong pigmen competing: Pogo (known to be rather strong, but also rather dumb, who Carl had killed previously) and Curly (known to be highly feared by others).

Dave walks around and considers making a sword, but decided not to due to the risk that someone might find him. He soon sees 3 people-a pigman with a wooden sword and two others. However, the two of them seem to be scared of the pigman. He announces he is Curly and says he will kill them all-even Dave, who had been hiding. Dave starts running away.

Meanwhile, Carl encounters three others. They team up on him but he only uses his sword and shield and was losing when he realizes his mistake and starts using his formidable strength. With that, he soon kills them all. After that, he hears a message from Derek that since only 50 people are left, poison gas will be released in some areas (where there are blue lights) to herd the remaining people together. Carl sees blue lights where he is.

Dave keeps running from Curly. They pause to hear the message but after that, Curly continues chasing Dave. Dave realizes there his only one way out-the blue zone. He rushes in there and Curly does not follow, knowing he will come out soon.

As Dave waits, he makes a wooden sword. When only 1 minute is left for the poison gas to be activated, he rushes out. Curly easily beats him and is about to kill him when Carl, Porkins and Gammon appear. Together, they manage to beat Curly and throw him in the blue zone, killing him.

The four of them go underground, away from the cameras. Gammon tells them about his plan to rebel and mentions there are other rebels too. He wants to give them a sign to start rebelling and decide that the next morning, they will do it when the cameras are focused on them.

After that, there is another message from Derek where he says only 25 people are left, so the arena is shrinking. They discover they are in a blue zone again. They run away from the blue zone, and head to a safe area. They see some pillagers and are about to fight them when they see Robo-Steve.

Robo-Steve easily destroys the pillagers and then starts killing the other warriors. Very quickly, only 10 people are left and the arena shrinks again. Luckily, they were in a safe zone and stay where they are. Robo-Steve quickly kills the other 5 warriors, leaving only the 4 of them and him.

They rush towards him and throw him into a blue zone but the gas makes him stronger. He says that his memory banks are corrupted and other things but Gammon shoots him with an arrow while he was talking. This makes him still and he does not rise.

Dave tells Gammon to tell the people to rebel against Derek Cool when he reveals he is a traitor, aiming his bow at them. He mentions that his friend was a fool, who made no allies and ended up dying. He also reveals that he was participating to win a golden house, not avenge his friend. However, Robo-Steve, who is not yet dead, grabs his leg, giving them the time they need to kill him. They say they are not going to kill each other but Derek says the arena will just keep shrinking until only one person is left standing.

They think about what to do and decide to give a speech against Derek Cool. They say a lot about how he isn't cool, how the tournament is stupid and hope that people rebel against him. Derek denies it but they just say it is true, infuriating him and making him pump more gas in before his microphone is cut.

Suddenly, Dave has an idea. He remembers Robo-Steve has an ender pearl and decides to see if they could use it. Robo-Steve, who can still talk, says he has changed and begs them to take him with them but they decide not to. They used the pearl to teleport away.

They find themselves in Cool City, where people are rebelling against Derek Cool. People recognize them and together, they break into Cool Tower. All of Derek's bodyguards and assistants surrender and soon, they rush into Derek's room and capture him. All of them are to have a trial and the grateful citizens of Cool City give the trio diamonds, their items and a small ship. With these, the three leave Cool City, sailing in the direction of an Eye of Ender.

## Epilogue

Paul Bunker, a trader, sails to Cool City on his ship. He makes a lot of trades and is about to leave when a mysterious figure asks if he could sail on his ship. He says he will work to pay for it and Paul asks who he is. He says that he is Robo-Steve. Paul sees he is a robot and says his name is weird but agrees to take him on his ship.
