Setting
Here, you prepare for battle. This is where one is briefed about the Gargantua that is waiting for you in the Gargantuan Stage. This leads to the Weaponrar, where any sort of blade, projectile, or otherwise, sits on the walls for your choosing. Armors, as well, are available.
The rules of the game are explained here.
One of them is "Try not to die."
As if it's not obvious enough.
There are several other things one should know: The clear sphere that hangs above the Arena is the Geist Orb. It is used to absorb the Gargantuan's Core after it has been pierced by one of the selected weapons that is given to competitors.

Once in the Preparation Chambers, the warriors would find a possible familiar face or two.
Nikodemus and Lucian.
They were grinning like fools at the other competitors, bowing at them in a joking, over dramatic manner. "Well, well, well! Fighters. You're all dudes, you notice that, Lucian?" said Nik, the man with the long black hair set into a ponytail.
"Well, yes. I'd complain, but I'm afraid any women to join this competition might be larger than Bao. Or our Minotaur friend, here. Not that there's anything wrong with that." joked Lucian, the blonde paladin.
"Now! You all may be wondering why you're shuffling rooms. Well, it's part of the whole...official...thing. Whatever. As for the Gargantuan you'll be fighting, well...it won't be one today. It'll be seventeen of them. And it'll be a team effort to get points in."
Lucian began to unload weapons from the table, all of them coated in a strange blue glow. They were all daggers and swords in vastly different sizes.
"You're totally allowed to use your own weapons, but you'll need to carry one of these with you to absorb, and therefore give the finishing blow, to the Gargantuan's Core. It'll be absorbed into the Geist Orb- this clear sphere thing- above the arena. You all are following so far, right?"

David Peirce David would step over and examine the weapons some "Thought you said you could treat our gear to do the same job? I mean...nothing aginst your toothpicks here. But I brought better."
"Caralho, we're going to need some air freshener in here." said the boy while fanning his noise in a comical fashion. He couldn't even smell anything if he didn't want to, one of the perks of having a Scarab. "I second that." Diego said while raising his hand, "Nothing's better than the Khaji-Da."
Sinclair nodded as he listened. He looked at his team mates. "Oh joy, we have the worst team here..." he thought to himself, before his eyes were drawn to the glowing weapons. Unlike the others that complained he took off his rapier as he tested out a light glowing blue ones weight, "Can we carry more than one of these?" he asked with a tilt of his head.
Damionell wordlessly stomped over to the table and angrily plucked a reasonably sized dagger off of the table. If it did not matter the size of the weapon to deliver the final blow to the beast, best to take the smallest and lightest available...
"Uh-" Nikodemus paused, thinking. "Oh! Oh, right. If you don't manage your weapons being covered in Geist. If you have bullets, that all works out too. There's no limit in the weapons you can carry, at least not that I know of." he continued.
"As for the monster, you'll be fighting Spinner Gargantuan. They're like spiders from the worst nightmare you can imagine, but they're the smallest Gargantuan we have around. They only have copper pieces stuck to them, so if you just knock those off, you can get to their Core."
Meanwhile, Nikodemus went into the Weaponrar to get the bucket of Geist fluid, which he'd paint onto any weapons the men needed.
"They're mean buggers, though! Got sharp legs, just ready to stab you full of holes! Doesn't that sound fun? I think it sounds fun. Watch out for their mouth, too. Filled with teeth and all that jazz. Your regular monster! Now, who wanted their weapons used in here?"

David Peirce He would eye the pail of fluid and shudder. That was gonna leave all kids of stains, he just knew it. Ah well. Time to work his magic. Without a word he would walk over and dip the finger of his right hand into the muck- "Sending a sample, locals say this is needed to finish the creatures off. I want it loaded into every round fired."
Back aboard the flagship, somewhere above the planet Terra scientists began cloning the fluid, then loading it into the tips of the rounds requested. It would take a litle bit of time, but when it was ready David would be able to just plink away from a range and get the job done.
"While the science boys work on that Im support. Figure I'll blow off legs and such, let you muts get in close to do the stabby." He would nod, taking a moment to draw a portion of the fluid into his suit as well, to coat his elbow blades- just in case.

"I require no more sickly magic than has already been dispensed. You can paint my weapon blue...it will still be a hammer." Damionell snorted, turning around and receding from the table to allow other contestants access. He lingered over by the door to the exit of the stadium, rolling his neck around, and stamping on occasion to stay limber for the fight.
"You might as well cover the entire armor in the stuff, since I can morph it's form at will." Diego stepped forward, positioning himself next to the Minotaur. "I'll be switching battle roles as the situation shifts."
FINALLY, AN OPPORTUNITY TO KILL. IT'S NOT MEAT, BUT IT'LL DO.

Sinclair nodded, "Bullets are good." he muttered as he smiled. He nodded as he reached for a dagger, then he saw the minotaur pic it up, instead of bitching about it, he shrugged and picked another and clipped it to his belt. "No paint for me please...hard enough to get these working with enchantment, don't know what that will do." he explained as he heard them describe the creatures as he grinned, "Sounds fun..." he remarked as he placed his staff on the bench, "Don't break it." he remarked. "gonna be a bit harder to control my magic without it..." he thought to himself with a frown, he had his fire that he could use with ease, he just hoped he could control his ground magic. "Ready..." he told them calmly as he stood by Diego.
"It's all up to you, big guy." said Nikodemus to Damionell, scratching the back of his neck. Jeez...the Bullman was a bit of a grump, huh?
"Alright, it's time! Into the Gargantuan Stage with you all. The Geist fluid dries quickly on surfaces, so don't worry about it being effective." Niko crossed his arms, then grinned at each and every one of them.
"Oh, and by the way, we're fighters too. It's time go get out there. Don't trip up! People'll be betting on you for money if they like you enough. That might increase your prizes, too, if they get lots of money off you! Donations lead to even bigger loot."
He drew his sword alongside Lucian, and they saluted the competitors, big and small, magic and tech.
"Now...charge!"
Both young men ran out into the Gargantuan Stage.

David Peirce Setting his bag aside he pulled out parts, and begin putting his weapon together. It took a minute, but a rifle was quickly in hand. And what a rifle it was. Moving with purpose he added a pistol to the holster that opened on the side of his leg, an SMG to his lower back and a shotgun on a strap across his back. He was as ready as he was going to be. Sighting along his scope a moment he made a few adjustments..and followed the others out of the room. This was gonna be fun.
Diego Cardosa took a dash toward the front door, the metallic plating that covered his back morphing into two jet turbine-like devices. Once he passed through the doors, he took off into the air. He didn't fly high, only a few feet off the ground. His left arm quickly transformed into a high powered blaster consisting of a single ring that surrounded an energy filled interior glowing a faint white.
