many innocent people but refuses and leaves the army, much to his general’s
disgust.

but is told that one of his family members is still alive and he must fight in
a tournament to save them.
He fights many fights and wins every one,
fighting progressively harder enemies.
He learns from one prisoner that there is
an escape route and decides to help some other prisoners escape, whilst
choosing to stay there to save that family member.
At the climax, he is faced with one final
challenge, which is someone he knows well. At the time, however, he does not
know this, and almost kills them.
Before delivering the finishing blow he realises
it is his brother.
The prisoners from before that he helped
overthrow the guards and break the main character and his brother out.
The main character is confronted by the one
who told him he must fight to save his brother – who it turns out is also his
old general. We also find out that this general ordered his family to be killed
and had set up the kidnapping of the character.
