An instant later, the chip was crumpled into pieces.

  The portal imploded forming a black hole that was purple. Those closest to the portal, especially those legionnaires wearing heavy armor, immediately got sucked into the whirling purple maelstrom. Some of them even dropped their swords. Alex grabbed one of the swords and thrust it into the sand, his legs flailing out behind him. Just then, he felt something tug on his metal leg. He turned and saw it was the emperor!

  The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  Alex tried kicking the emperor away but it was no use!

  “Alex, this is not the end of my journey! Roma victor!”

  “You’re wrong!” Alex put his finger on the release button to his metal leg, “This is the last leg for you!”

  The leg detached from his limb. The emperor flew backwards into the portal, screaming and holding Alex’s metal leg.

  Just then, the portal shrank to a tiny dot and disappeared in mid-air.

  The colosseum was silent, finally.
