Battle 4: Azo Proxcel VS Severina Calaudra VS 'Vexed' Pietro - Stephen Pearson
+++Thought for the day+++
The crowd goes wild as the match is announced. “Today the undefeated Severina will take on The Wrench and newcomer 'Vexed' Pietro to see who can be the Last Man standing! The bonus today is the Mega Bomb”
The agile Severina set out to kill once more brandishing a whip and a pool cue. She casually walked over to the nearest pick up point and to her dismay she found a flak jacket which she casually discarded.
Severina tried to gracefully sprint across the arena to the next pickup point, somersaulting on the way. She struggled to hold her balance as she slid on a patch of oil on the floor.
Undeterred Severina carried on sprinting across the arena and caused a roar of laughter from the crowd as she tripped over the lip of the pickup point and a mega bomb landed on top of her!
After recovering from her fall Severina effortlessly flipped up and sprinted towards the next glowing pickup point. Seeing she would easily reach it she did a few backflips to impress the crowd. The pickup point is rigged and Severina's world is lit up by a blinding flash. Her lightning reactions prevent her being blinded but she dropped the bomb and it rolled across the room.
A surging panic erupted in the crowd. Cries of “I'm blind” and “What's happening, I can't see!” could be heard. Several of the arena guards rushed in with gas canisters to subdue the crowd. Some members of the crowd were knocked out by the gas whilst others begin to riot and attack the guards. Bones were broken on both sides until the whole thing was forgotten in a frenzy of anticipation of the ensuing battle.
Azo scratched his head wondering what he should do. "That bloomin' Severina is out there somewhere. I'm gonna take out all her shiny white teeth and make me a necklace.”
Azo let out a curse as he found a clip for a laspistol. Ramming the ammo clip into his pocket, Azo set off to at a run to find a something more useful.
Wondering if the crowd was laughing at him Azo changed his run to make him look more masculine and was delighted to find a laspistol at the next pick up point. Azo beat his wrench on his chest as he held his gun up high.
He set off to find someone to sear with blinding light. Pausing at a junction to look around he saw no one so strode on.
Pietro stood silently looking slightly annoyed, a vein on the side of his forehead was pulsing heavily, he was sporting a pair of dungarees and some smoked glass goggles round his neck. Flexing his arms he wandered over to the closest pickup point.
Finding a mesh jacket waiting for him, he unclipped the top half of his dungarees, exposing his chest and put on the jacket, before flexing to the crowd. Pietro got a small cheer from the crowd and few ladies fainted.
Pietro also set off at a run, trying not to rip the jacket with his massive shoulders and was pleased to find a giant matt black monkey wrench.
After running a short way down the corridor Pietro stopped and looked around, he saw a green glow from the pickup point down the corridor to his right and ahead he could see oil that has been smeared around. He grined and twirled his wrench round his right arm.
Pietro ran to the glowing tool locker and paused for breath, noticing the crowd had hushed. He was thrilled to find a cyber mastiff, which he quickly named El Ravager. Pietro grinned manically as he petted his new cyber mastiff and looked around.
Seeing Azo he told El Ravager to “Fetch!” and roared as he bounded towards Azo. Azo fired off half his clip wildly at the charging cyber mastiff and failed to land a shot on target.
" He lives! And shall taste your flesh soon!" roared Pietro as he also charged Azo. His first swing with his wrench was easily side stepped by Azo and he acrobatically leaped over the charging mastiff. "I will have all your teeth before the day is out!" screamed an invigorated Azo.
Quickly recovering from the flash flare Severina looked around to see where the bomb had gone. Spotting it lying in the corner she grabbed it and headed to the sound of fighting below her.
An evil grin spreads across her face. “This is gonna be some firework!” Reaching the junction she saw Azo battling with Pietro and hastily threw the bomb. A little too hastily in fact as she forgot to prime it.
The bomb didn't get far as it scattered widly coming to rest just beyond the next door from Severina.
Seeing he is outmatched Azo makes a quick exit across the arena. Undeterred Pietro gave chase. “My wrench will feel blood today” He cried as he struck Azo squarely across the head.
Azo reeled from the blow. The wrench dropped from his right hand and impacted the floor with a loud clang.
With Azo's retreat Severina becomes his closets target but El Ravenger gets distracted by the bomb and decides to guard it instead. Severina is having none of this and tries to disable the mastiff with a crack of her whip.
Like a lion in a circus the Mastiff easily avoids the whips cruel bite.
Azo just stood there stunned as the crowd bayed for his blood. Pietro continued to batter his prey around the head in a frenzy of bloodlust until Azo fell to the ground unconcious, his laspistol falling from his grip as he hit the deck and skidding across the room.
Pietro roared at the crowds raising his bloodied wrench as a symbol of his might. KO! The crowd screamed as the battered body of Azo lay bleeding in the dust.
Severina and the Mastiff exchanged attacks but the Mastiff couldn't land a damaging blow. Severina managed to dent the Mastiffs armour and cause only minor systems damage.
Engulfed in Bloodlust Pietro ignored Severina's Dangerous attraction and stuck her in the arm with such force she dropped her whip. With her whip gone Severina pulled out her trusty pool cue.
The speed of her attacks caught Pietro by surprise and she managed to land blows to his head and arm. They were only minor scratches which Pietro ignored as he returned with a vicious blow from his wrench which Severina only just managed to turn aside.
Catching Pietro off guard Severina managed to land a series of vicious blows to his upper body which left him stunned. This was not enough however to save Severina as El Ravager launched himself at her.
Exhausted from the effort of fighting two opponents, Severina fell to the floor a bloody gash in her arm. The crowd went wild, the newcomer had beaten the unstopable Severina. Clambering up a gantry Pietro roared as he flexed his muscles, licking the wrench clean, blood covering his face. “I will keep my faithful hound El Ravager!”
