On the planet of Ashtoreth, at Gateway Island, somewhere deep within the complex, Arkold has gotten into a match in an arena known as the "Barrel". He is lowered down into the wooden arena on a chain, and his opponent an Akwavi otter named Goober is lowered as well. As Arkold closes with his opponent, the arena begins to fill with water, which the otter takes to like, well, an otter. The otter plays "keep-away", buying time while the arena continues to fill, but the crowd grows impatient. The otter tries to attack Arkold with a sneaky maneuver, but Arkold is too quick and manages to get a punch in on the otter, then holds him underwater until the Akwavi passes out. The match is called, and Arkold gets his prize money and some more "Achtung".
