…. (Roar of a Crowd)….
(Announcer Speaks) Since the dawn of man, man has fought with one another. As time has changed the weapons man used to fight one another with have evolved. Today they have evolved into some of the ultimate fighting machines on any planet. And now from Kryton 4, we bring you some of the greatest fighting you will ever see. Welcome to King of the Robot Ring Fighting. (KRRF Appears on the screen).
(Crowd roars as the screen shows a large arena filled with people, it pans to in the Arena where a silver and red Oggun stands holding a massive sledgehammer.) (The Oggun starts pumping his arms and waving the hammer over his head and the crowd roars).
(Announcer) I’m Vincent St. Paul and beside me I have Jerry Michaels. And we have for you three epic battles to watch tonight. In the ring, right now we have Chris “Ox” Malcolm and his mech Hammertime. He comes from Vega 23 and is using a new Megaton War Hammer.
(Jerry)He seems to be a fan favorite and today look to be a good fight with his opponent. And here he comes now…
(From the Arena entrance walks out an orange and white Namtar with its arms replaced with usable hands and wielding a 17 foot long Katana-styled sword)
(Vincent) It’s Yoshiko “The Samurai” Taiko, from Alpha Centauri Prime, and her mech Mega Shogun. She is wielding her trusty sword “Slasher”.
(The Namtar walks down from the arena entrance to the arena, the crowd boos and hisses)
(Jerry) Since Kryton 4 used to be a colony of the Shogunate, any pilot who were a part of that conflict are of course going to be hated by this crowd, so Yoshiko has a hard road to hoe to gain any traction today. But the crowd is not her opponent today, Hammertime is.
(Vincent) That’s right. And we should see a great fight here tonight.
(The modified Namtar squares off with the Oggun and bows to Hammertime before taking a swordswoman’s stance. The Oggun stops’ pumping the crowd up and takes his corner and squares up and two hands the massive hammer in front of him.)
(A giant horn sounds near the arena and the fighters start moving towards one another.)
(The Namtar slowly moves around the ring as the Oggun comes in with a big swing at the Namtar’s body. The Namtar blocks with the sword and is pushed back two steps. As the Namtar recovers the Oggun charges in and uses its shoulder to slam into the Namtar’s body.)
(Vincent) Ouch, Hammertime uses his patent shoulder slam to help close the distance and knock Mega Shogun towards the corner.
(Jerry) Hammertime is an aggressive Mech and Chris is an aggressive pilot, He knows that getting in that first hit is important in the outcome of any fight.
(The Namtar falls back towards the corner before stabilizing and regaining her stance, the oggun quickly tries to take advantage and comes in again with an overhead swing with the hammer. The Namtar dodges this blow and slashes into the Ogguns mid section. The sword connecting, sending a shower of sparks everywhere, the crowd roars with excitement, as the Megaton Warhammer slams into the ground and caves in the ground around where it hit.)
(Jerry) Mega Shogun is not out of this fight yet, and connects solidly with Hammertime. Yoshiko is a skilled fighter and will take advantage of that with every swing of her sword.
(Vincent) You’re correct, but Hammertime is used to taking hits. But is even better at giving them as we can see from the crater it left in the ground where his Megaton War Hammer.
(The Oggun recovers from the hit and quickly faces the Namtar who swings the sword deftly at the Oggun. The Oggun blocks the sword blow with the hilt of his hammer. The Namtar quickly swings again and again at the Oggun who barely manages to block each blow with the hammer handle.)
(Jerry) Mega Shogun is really using her speed to take advantage of Hammertime, she knows that one or two hits could win this fight with Slasher’s special ability.
(Vincent) Slasher is well known for its winning fights in just a single hit, but so is that Megaton War Hammer, one hit from that hammer will crush in pilots dream of winning.
(As the Oggun is now backed into the Namtar’s corner, the Namtar presses the advantage and continues to swing at the oggun. The Oggun drops his guard on his left side and lets go of the Hammer in his left hand, the Namtar takes its shot at the Oggun, steps in and slashes down into the Ogguns left side. The Oggun quickly brings up his left arm and absorbs the blow as best as it can and falls away as it is severed from the mech. While the Namtar is brought in close with its attack the Oggun strikes and swings in with his Megaton War hammer. The Megaton War Hammer connects with the left side of the cockpit and explodes, forcing the Namtar to fall back and try to recover. Spider webs of damage can be seen all over the Namtar’s cockpit and its left side is heavily crumpled in. The Crowd is on its feet in cheer for the massive explosion.)
(Vincent) Woah, and we see now just how powerful that Hammer can be. The Megaton War Hammer is no slouch when it comes to dealing damage with an explosive charge in the hammers head. Mega Shogun will be in the repair bay for a week recovering from that hit.
(Jerry) You said it Vincent, that hammer has laid the smack down right on the face of Mega Shogun, but at the cost of Hammertime’s left arm. Hammertime cannot afford to keep taking hits like that.
(Vincent) That’s right, without Hammertime’s left arm he will lose some of the effectiveness of the Megaton War Hammer. This is anyone’s game here now. Mega Shogun is heavily damaged but has full use of her sword, while Hammertime gave up its own left arm to connect with Mega Shogun. We will just have to see if that hit was worth it.
(The Oggun slowly brings up the hammer and swings it around above his head, the crowd roars and chants, “HAMMER TIME! HAMMER TIME!” The Oggun stomps across the ring. The Namtar slowly recovers and make her way back to the corner. As the Namtar finally gets back into a fighting stance and then proceeds to move in towards the Oggun who isn’t paying attention. The Namtar quickly swings in and strikes the back of the Oggun. The Slice send sparks everywhere as the Oggun Falls to one knee and the hammer slams into the ground with a massive THUMP!)
(Jerry) Chris and Hammertime should have not been playing to the crowd there, he let his advantage go and its now cost him. This may be the end of Hammertime.
(Vincent) Don’t count Hammertime out just yet, this fight isn’t over until one mech is permanently down, and we both know it.
(The Namtar steps back and prepare to go finish off the Oggun as it slowly circles around the Oggun to face it from the front and deliver the final blow. The Oggun uses it massive Megaton War Hammer to push itself back to its feet and stands up, the war hammer’s head on the ground, while the handle is barely in the Oggun’s hand.)
(Jerry) Here it comes, Mega Shogun is about to finish this with one more blow. There is no way that Hammertime can recover from that last hit.
(The Namtar brings up Slasher to its right side, raising the sword high above its cockpit. The Oggun quickly grabs tightly onto the handle of the massive Hammer and brings the Hammer up and smashes it into the underside of the Namtar’s cockpit before a second massive explosion rocks the Namtar. The Sword in the Namtar’s hand falls away, as the mech is lifted up by the force of the explosion. It flies up 8 feet before slowly falling backwards onto the ring floor. The Namtar’s cockpit is completely dark as its power fails. The crowd cheers with excitement and rants about the shogunate.)
(Jerry) Unbelievable, did you see that, from out of nowhere Hammertime recovers and finishes off Mega Shogun with a massive critical to the cockpit. Yoshiko is out.
(Vincent) This looks to be the end of the fight, with Mega Shogun’s power out it can no longer fight. This leaves us with Chris Malcolm and Hammertime, our winner of the first round of today’s fight. We will have to wait a few for the cleaners to pick up what’s left of Mega Shogun and Hammertime before we can continue to our next match. So Jerry, your thoughts on the battle we just witnessed.
(Jerry) Hammertime was almost downed by Mega Shogun’s last attack when he decided to play up to the crowd. That nearly cost him the match, but he stayed in there and with one final swing he was able to pull of that final blow he needed to take out Yoshiko and Mega Shogun this round.
(Vincent) Excellent and we will now take a short break for a word from our sponsors.
