Batiatus

"Dominus that Thracian slave is not worth its price, after all, he was only able to kill Solonius Gladiator after they turn their back on him"

"Oenomaus I'm of the same thought as you I don't want the Thracian himself, I want his enemy. The anger in the eyes of Praetor Glaber when Spartacus won, with him in my hands I'm sure the Praetor will visit my ludus in the future, and the chance of hosting a Roman elite far exceed the amount I spend on the Thracian"

"Yes Dominus"

"Enough of the politics, I didn't take you with me to speak of things you do not know off, I need my Doctore the original budget for the next batch of Gladiator has been spent on Spartacus, so we need to find cheap stocks that have some hope of becoming a Gladiator"

"Dominus even though I'm usually against it but considering our current circumstances, pirates those honorless snakes will have the greatest chance"

"I see, ok buy a small number of pirates and fill out the rest with other cheap slaves, and who knows we may get lucky, or even if they die it will make the other tiros more obedient"

At the end of their conversation, the master returns to the VIP area in the arena while the slave goes to accomplish his Dominus will

Ixon and Pheasalus find themself bought by the same person, he said he is a Doctore of a Ludus and will come back tomorrow morning to pick them up. The slave trader takes them back to their cell to await their new master tomorrow.

The next day Outside the gates of Neaplois 

"Dominus I have brought all the new slaves four in total; two Illyrian pirates, one fugitive and I also found a Roman in heavy debt willing to sign a favorable contract with us"

The convoy set off and after a few hours of travel they could see Capua walls but they wouldn't be entering the city after all their Ludus was built outside on a mountainside overlooking the city

Arriving at the Ludus

(Batiatus) "Doctore have the slaves join the Gladiator in the cells, tomorrow they will be officially recognized as tiros"

The Gladiator Bathhouse

(Gallic Gladiator) "Looks like blood will soon bless our ground once again"

(Crixus) "The pig-fucker is still alive"

(Barca) "This is the one? The Spartacus everyone's been pissing about?"

"Spartacus there is no way it is The Spartacus of history but we are in Capua, where the beginning of the third servile war started"

"Ixon what are you doing spacing out we need to get out of the center before they turn their sight on us"

While everyone is distracted by Spartacus, Pheasalus pulls Ixon to a corner of the bath lucky the gladiator's attention stays on Spartacus throughout bathtime 

In the cells

"Shit I have reincarnated as a gladiator with Spartacus, Crixus, and Oenomaus but he was white not black like in the show, whatever it doesn't matter at least now I don't need to worry about escaping, I can just ride Spartacus's coattail to freedom just need to become one of the 70 that survive the jailbreak"

Morning

The five new slaves are lined up in the training ground while the gladiator watches from the eating area under the shade

(Oenomaus) "What is beneath your feet? ANSWER! WHAT IS BENEATH YOUR FEET?

A man with a tattoo that read Fugitives (Kerza) replied "Sand"

Laughs from the crowd prove that was the wrong answer

"Crixus"

"Sacred ground, Doctore! Watered with the tears of blood!"

"Your pathetic lives will either be nourishment for these grounds or be forged into something new by my hand, into GLADIATOR! now look at your Dominus"

Batiatus and Lucretia watch from the balcony and give a speech explaining to forget their old name, they are now Tiro a new name will be given when they pass the test to be a real gladiator, either they will receive one from the crowd of the arena or by their brothers, there was also a warning in his speech either become a Gladiator or be sold to the mine a fate worse than death and if you pass the test you receive the mark and be welcome in the brotherhood of Gladiators.

For Oenomaus his first task was to take down Spartacus's ego after all he was the only one in the new batch of slaves that had fought in the arena and in an unfair fight at that, the day went by doing strength exercise with Spartacus as the center of attention, first Crixus best him in dual, then Barca throws the cauldron with the food inside at the feet of Spartacus forcing the new slaves to pick up the food off the floor 

Night Tiros share cell

(Kerza) "Spartacus you fought real Gladiators what do you think of our chances"

"You all going to die"

(Pheasalus) "If we going to die it going to be because of you, why do you continue to provoke them, you dragging all of us down because of your pointless ego" (He spoke in broken Latin)

(Ixon) "Shut up Pheasalus, I apologize for my friend we are not used to a Gladiator life and this heat made him lose his sense"

Cell door open 

"Get up tiros you will sleep when you prove yourself as men"

"Yes, Doctore"

"Pheasalus don't make yourself an enemy of Spartacus it may not seem like it but he is favored by the Lansita of this house, after all, he stopped Crixus from bashing Spartacus's skull in when he refused to surrender, do you think we would have gotten the same treatment"

"I see Ixon thank you, brother, we may be of similar age but I don't think I can ever match your wisdom"

Months have passed by and the Tiros for a majority of it have been doing strength training increasing their muscles, since last month they have finally begun combat training, It's now the middle of 74 BC spring harvest soon the winter season will come and with it the Gladiator games 

*Side note I have been looking for how long Spartacus was a Gladiator but nothing came up only saying he escaped in 73 BC so I took it as he was captured and then escaped the same year. I have decided to have him capture in 74 BC so he have more time to become the champion of Capua after it feels unrealistic for him to become a champion the same year he was capture and then escape defeat two army and still have time to spend the winter of 73 BC in Thurii

I do plan to follow the Spartacus TV show event for at least for the first season but I decided to make Oenomaus back into a Gaul to control Crixus influence over them
