Being where it was situated and protected by a formidable armada of warships, Tortuga had prospered as a place for slavers to frequent, always able to unload some of their slaves there as the market for nubile females was quite dominant there. Virtually every space-faring species in the galaxy had a presence there, and virtually all of them loved human slaves.

And that wasn't even including the Kast, who kept a sizable slave population for themselves, being the vigorous race that they were. If anything, slave-owning had become a sport for the warlike Kast, for these beings enjoying fighting among themselves and even against outsiders with slaves as the prize. It was now a mark of the Kast's strength to be judged by the size of the harem he kept. There were notable exceptions, of course, such as their supreme leader, the rivlak, who stood as absolute monarch of Tortuga, his word being the law.

With Kast law being what it was, no one was willing to get in a dispute with the Kast warlord, knowing that they might have to pay the highest of all costs, their own lives. With such authority and influence, Varrik had seen little need in maintaining a sizable harem, instead keeping only a few slaves for himself in his quarters.

On this day, however, a female was performing exceptionally well that Varrik could not help but be intrigued at the prospect of a female being such a capable fighter, especially if she was given training by Kast instructors.

If anything, it would be an amusing game. This had been what a minion of his had been saying as Varrik watch the ongoing match, his eyes upon a certain female as she fought against fellow Gladiatrixes.

Perhaps he would take on a gladiatrix as a slave after all and see what she could make of herself under Kast guidance. Such an amusing farce to entertain himself with. Ah well, if it came down to her being quite unsatisfactory or incompetent, the Kast could simply train her up as a sex slave instead and sell her off again.

No big loss, indeed. It remained to be seen whenever this Calisto would be able to get through the match now and come out on top as the winner.

Calisto wasn't sure if she was in heaven or hell, after fighting at the Arena on the same world as Shokushu the girl had been brought by some of the Arena's men to compete inside an Arena at Tortuga arguably the most powerful slaving location second only to Vanejin, home of the powerful Kast, after the people who took care of her left to go and prepare, she would find out she was part of a big royale with other Gladiatrix from other owners, she being the only 'free agent' she was according to the Guys who brought her to the crowds was for sale and they where giving a free preview of her skills for anyone to see before bidding began.

Calisto didn't know this and she only wanted to win...to finally be worth something and become someone's Gladiatrix...someone who sees worth in her...but she shook her head and stayed quiet, the fighting for now was simple non weapons fighting, since weapons who badly damage the products as she was fighting 5 other girls, well a 6 way free for all, as the bell to sound the beginning of the match as Calisto and the girls moved quickly but she had a smirk approaching a red head girl who noticed her and went for a quick punch but Calisto easily avoided the jab and grasped the arm and threw the girl hard to the ground before punching her hard in the stomach causing the girl to gasp and cough as Calisto smirked before she wrapped her thighs around the girls head and began to squeeze to K.O her by chock out as she smirked.

Meanwhile the other girls where in 2 1v1 fights, A Girl with Blonde hair was grappling with a Black haired girl the pair rolling on the ground showing the crowd alot of breasts smushing together as the pair kept trying to get the advantage.

While the other two an Auburn and strangly green haired girl where exchanging blows as the Auburn went for kicks the Green easily avoided or blocked them going for a leg sweep to trip her up.

The warlord, surrounded by many of his fellow Kast and far more of his lackeys, watched in amusement as the six females fought each others, splitting up into a series of three one-on-one matches for the time being. Even the taciturn Varrik had to admit that it was indeed rather entertaining to watch females, of all things, participate in gladiatorial combat.

The rivlak watched on as Calisto had her thighs closed around another Gladiatrix's head, attempting to force her to submit by falling unconscious. The minion that had been conversing with Varrik leaned in once more to speak when he had noticed who his master was watching. "That is the one I spoke of, m'lord. The rest have all lost too many battles and their owners no longer wish to keep them on, but she alone has yet to be sold." Her status as a masterless slave struck the warlord as strange, given the skill she had shown so far. "To choose one that have yet to serve anyone, why would I?"

The alien, having anticipated this response, merely shrugged and gestured toward Calisto. "She is an unknown, m'lord. Would it not be amusing to bring one who is an underdog into the game and have her dominate others as you dominate your enemies?"

The Kast grunted. "What enemies?" Quite a valid answer as Varrik was in the habit of annihilating those that schemed against him, systematically wiping out everyone involved, and often, those connected to them. After all, fear was what kept the threat of a Kast invasion alive, it was what allowed the warlord his hold on Tortuga. He literally wasn't above destroying himself if it meant destroying his attackers as well. Mutually assured destruction, indeed.

"Still, I am intrigued. If she comes out on top as the victor, arrange a meeting with her. If she falls, then there is no further need to speak her. I'll not keep incompetent fighters under my command, female or no.

"It shall be done, m'lord."

Calisto not aware she had caught the attention of the Lord of the Kast himself smirked as she felt the girl passing out easily and freed her legs as she stood up brushing her legs slightly as the red head was carefully wrapped up for now in a special device used to hold the defeated girls after they passed out to avoid them trying to get back in after already losing.

Calisto didn't care and turned to see the other fights, noticing the two other 1v1 fights and grinned as she dashed towards the fight between the Auburn and the Green haired girl as Calisto moved fast and as the Green haired girl went to dodge another of the Auburn girls attack she got kicked in the back of her knees by Calisto before a punch hit her stomach as she gasped showing she was speedy but not sturdy and went down fast due to the combined attacks as the Auburn one smirked she noticed too late a flash of a kick as Calisto roundhouse kicked her head knocking her down too before stepping on her neck smirking as the girl weakly struggled, as Calisto was dominating this little fight, grinning as already three girls where eliminated and also tied up as the after entertainment, as the losers would be well given to one of the more beastly creatures for some fun tentacle entertainment.

Calisto smirked and calmly brushed a hand through her hair her rather sizable chest bouncing slightly in her well slightly flimsy armour as she turned to see the last two girls besides herself had stopped fighting and now where focused on her as she grinned and put her hands up and clenched them in a fighting stance as the two girls slowly circled her from different directions to try and attack her from two ends.

Seeing Calisto take the redhead out through her choke-hold was mildly impressive, mostly because Kast themselves weren't accustomed to seeing any females fight hand to hand. There were only a rare few females that the Kast warlord himself had seen fight in melee combat, the most recent one being the exiled yet beautiful Heulorian princess. Apart from that, the only other females to fight him had been the agents of the ADD, and even then, they had done so with the use of ranged weaponry.

He did not fault them for choosing to use such weapons to cover for their feeble strength in combat, but there was simply far more honor in beating down an opponent with one's bare hands. Yes, if this one won the match, then he would have to see about taking her on as a gladiatrix. It would be interesting, especially to a mind bored by the lack of enemies to wage war on, to see Calisto fighting for and strengthening his standing among his fellow Kast. Should she lose, however, his anger would certainly be frightening to behold.

Receiving no further instructions from the rivlak, the alien excused himself and proceed to meet up with the slavers that had brought the gladiatrixes to Tortuga to arrange for a meeting with the warlord for Calisto, provided that she won the match. It went without saying that plenty of money had changed hands to ensure that the Kast leader would have his turn with Calisto first before any other prospective buyers got to her first...

The Men/Traders who brought Calisto where busy watching her fighting from a nearby view screen at the bar having drinks at the no doubt goldmine the girl would bring them as they watched the fighting with grins, not knowing they would have a very special guest soon...

Calisto meanwhile moved with almost fluid grace yet showed she was deadly and also beautiful all members of the crowd couldn't help staring at her fine thighs, hips, ass and breasts all hidden in rather tight armour that was getting more tight due to sweat as she smirked as she ducked a punch from the Blonde and grabbed the fist before moving to the left to avoid a kick from the Black haired girl causing both to collide and fall on the floor in a pile as she smirked moving away to get room and gave them both a 'come on' gesture as the pair glared and the Blonde rushed forward foolishly and Calisto smirked as the woman went for a punch she grabbed the wrist twisting it enticing a cry of pain before a chop to the back of the girls neck dropped her instantly out cold as she blew on her nails and grinned at the now worried Black haired girl.

As the Kast warlord continued to watch, the Gladiatrix performed admirably well as the number of combatants slowly dropped down to only two remaining. She certainly had speed and stamina, and knew how to fight decently. Some training under the Kast and his men would certainly give her an edge over most human opponents, apart from the truly exceptional ones. For those, it would come down to being a battle of willpower and determination, and that much was entirely up to the female. The Kast was indeed pleased that it appeared that Calisto would be winning the match after all...

The alien soon joined the slavers at the bar, having met them beforehand to talk about the gladiatrixes they had for sale. Seating himself and after ordering a drink for himself, the alien turned to the traders, a smile on his lips. "My master, Lord Varrik of the Kast, is interested in purchasing one of your girls, the one they call Calisto. For that one, what is your price?"

The Slavers heard the voice and turned to the Kast and they all smiled brightly and nodded at him, "Well it's an honour that His LordShip is interested in our finest Girl, Calisto is shall we say, a 'name your price' deal, while we do enjoy having her, we want to get her into someone ownership fast, it's not good that a girl with her talent has no master or mistress," The Leader said, "We'll settle for any price your lord is willing to pay for her," He said despite the others trying to tell him that they could get a huge deal but he silenced them.

Calisto smirked and walked forward calmly oozing confidence as she strides towards the last girl making sure to highlight her body to arouse the crowds still as the Black Haired girl growled and charged at her as Calisto calmly grins as she watches her moves and moved to the side and avoided the girls desperate tackle attempt and grabbed her shoulders as she widened her eyes as Calisto using some strength tossed her hard onto her back as she grunted before a foot buried into her gut as she coughed as Calisto grins and pressed her other foot on the girls neck showing she was the Dominant as she waited for her to black out too as she grins and looks at the crowd raising a hand in victory as the bell sounded showing she was victorious as she moved off the girl and smiled waving to the crowds and making sure to show her beautiful form to tease them all and glanced up at where the Kast members resided and did a bow her head down in respect.

The Kast watched as Calisto emerged as the obvious winner of the match, all of her opponents having been dispatched, leaving her as the last standing in the battle royale. So, she would be becoming his after all. It was just as well that his minion had already begun preparations to purchase her. Once Calisto had paid her respects by bowing before the warlord, the Kast merely stood up and left with his fellow warriors and soldiers, seeing no need to stay in an arena that no longer had any events now. There was no denying it, though. He was certainly intrigued by the human.

The said minion watched as Calisto won her match, smirking. "I can see that. Her skill, as well as her ample assets, certainly makes her stand out among the slaves..." The alien drank his beverage before scribbling down an offer on a napkin and pushed it toward the traders. It was easily ten times what a typical slave was sold for. "I believe this should be more than what she's worth. My lord is interested in the girl, and I believe she would make for an excellent gift to him. But if that isn't enough, then how about this... Whenever you bring in new slaves, I'll find buyers for all of them? Plenty of profits now and in the future, eh?"

The Lead Trader widened his eyes at the offer and turned to the Kast hearing the deal and grinned so broadly, "I told ya boys, that girl would bring us a fortune...tell your Lordship...he has a deal, we'll get Calisto ready...and where shall we bring her to see his Lordship?" The Lead Trader asked the Kast calmly.

Calisto smiled as she left the other three girls where wrapped up and left there for the aftershow...which would be a sight for the perverted as she walked through the raised gate to the resting quarters for the slaves and sighed sitting down and dumping a bucket of cold water onto her body making her wet clothes more damp as she dried herself off and stripping out of her outfit.

The alien only smiled, his offer accepted as he knew it would be. After all, one had to spend money in order to make money. Yes, with this, his standing with Varrik and the Kast would surely be much improved. Finishing up his drink, the minion straightened up before looking at the traders. "Actually, don't tell her about this. I would like to break the news to her myself. I cannot simply give my lord this present without making sure it's acceptable, can I now?" He grinned as he got off the seat, gesturing for the two to leave as well. "Take me to see Calisto, I wish to speak to her myself."

"Heh right this way she's no doubt in the rest rooms for the slaves cooling down after her fight," The Lead Slaver said leading the Kast member to the quarters the other members staying behind for more drinks in merriment, the slaver grinning as he lead the Kast member to the slave quarters and they would see Calisto naked doing some crunches and stretches slightly showing her naked body as her clothing was too wet to wear for now as she heard them and bowed her head slightly.

"At ease Calisto, this Gentleman here is a represensative to Lord Varrik, so make sure to be respectful," The Slaver said as Calisto nodded and bowed to the Kast again awaiting his words staying quiet like a good slave should showing she was trained well..

The Kast turned his attention to the slaver, a hand on his shoulder. "You may leave. I wish to speak to her alone." The alien waited until the two of them were left alone before turning his attention to Calisto. No doubt about it, she would certainly please Varrik in more ways than one. It was simply a plus that she seemed to know her place as a slave and could remain silent without being told to. Leaning against the wall now, the Kast gave Calisto a measuring stare as he sized her up. "As it was said, I am here as a representative of the Rivlak, Varrik nir Ra'assir. You fought well today. Well enough to catch his attention. I was told that you have fought without a master thus far."

It was then that he paused for a moment, allowing her to digest what he had said thus far, before continuing with a question. "How would you like to fight in his name?"

The Slaver nodded and left the room heading back to the bar for now and await the Kast's return, Calisto stayed silent listening to the words of the kast telling her he was Representing the leader of the Kast and the man who made Tortuga Possible...as she bowed her head again in silent thanks for saying of her victory in the arena, looking at him when he told her Varrik himself was interested in her, nodding her head when he asked if she was master less making the rumours true before widening her eyes when he asked if she would fight for Varrik and nodded rapidly and bowed her head again, she stayed silent, knowing she shouldn't speak unless asked to speak, showing him she was a loyal slave girl, and a strong warrior for a human woman.

The alien nodded, acknowledging Calisto's silent response. At least she knew her place quite well, enough to the point that she did not speak if it was not necessary to do so, something many Kast preferred in any females they kept for themselves. After all, females were simply property to the Kast, something to fight each others over for, not anything as ridiculous as a life partner. No, the only place women had in Kast society was on their hands and knees. All in all, Calisto appeared to be precisely what he wanted for a gift to the rivlak, skilled and quiet. "Should I arrange for your purchase, I expect you to be loyal and obedient to the Rivlak, to put your all in every command you are given... If you are found lacking, then... Well, you would not wish to be found lacking. Is this understood, woman?"
