(Just a quick reminder to everyone, that there are 4 divisions within the tournament and there will be a winner of each but the overall winner will be the winner of the A class.)

Today was the day of the preliminary matches to decide who went into each division. These were only friendly matches to gauge a rough estimate on the fighting ability of each contestant. The disguise that RX was using was a huge black hooded cloak, which enveloped almost his entire body and kept his face hidden in shade at the same time. The night before while the others were deciding on what strategy RX was trying to think of a way to get near to Vile. He did not want to destroy all of those reploids just for his revenge. But there was a protective barrier surrounding the podium which Doppler and consequently Vile were on.

RX: How will I get to him…..a forward attack would not do it as it would most likely just be reflected by that barrier…what material is it made of anyway? It looks like glass or plastic but I’d assume it would be much stronger…. I’ll try to find a way to break trough…but If I can’t find a viable solution…then I will just have to go with plan B: Win the tournament at all costs. They will all more than likely just be killed by someone else anyway, and if I walk away now it would all be for nothing…I will just have to beat them all!

Suddenly RX was taken out of his flashback from the night before by the sound of the starting horn, which indicated that the match was about to begin, and for all participants to make their way to the centre of the arena.

RX: I’ve got to go..its all or nothing now…all that matters now is my revenge!!!

RX walked down a large metal corridor, which leads out to the centre of the arena. He was both shocked and surprised to see the turnout. It was mostly workers from Doppler’s Island base, but a substantial amount of media personnel were there. There was cheering coming from every direction as the crowds welcomed the contestants. Lights flashed and shimmered everywhere like an elaborate light show, and hover cams were everywhere, trying to capture the atmosphere of the crowd from as many angles as possible, plus the fact that it would work for better entertainment value for to be able to watch from different angles and positions to capture ever movement.

RX: Hmm, slightly bigger turnout than I was expecting…Doppler, what are you up to? Involving the media like this does not sound like the work of someone who does not want to be found out….something smells fishy here…I have a strange feeling about this tournament…

The commentator began to speak as the 1st 2 contestants got ready for battle and all the other fighters went offside to watch the fight from ringside.

C: Welcome ladies and gentlemen, reploids of all makes, shapes and sizes! To the 1st annual “Doppler Bowl”!!

The crowd cheered with enthusiasm.

C: Over here we have from the uranium mines of Alaska, the Giant miner! Gyro!!!
The crowd cheered as one of the biggest reploids ever made stopped out into the centre of the ring. He was sturdily built with most of his body mass in the chest. His arms were huge, as big as other entire reploids and his hands were like giant hammer when he made a fist. The ground quaked as he made his way to the centre of the ring as everyone looked on in awe at this Titan.

C: And over here from the steelworks of Texas! Flintlock!

An average looking reploid stepped out, average height and build with a cowboy motif, he even had a white hat. He stepped into the middle of the ring and was engulfed by the shadow of his opponent.

C: Let the battle begin!

Gyro moved forward with a punch so powerful it would have taken flintlock’s head off, but due to his size it was not very fast, Flintlock quickly ducked and then flipped backwards to safety. Just as he landed on his feet he pulled out 2 plasma pistols from his sides and opened fire with a relentless volley of blasts until all that could be seen of his opponent was a cloud of smoke. The crowd looked on awed by what had just happened waiting to see the damage, when suddenly a shadow moved out of the smoke, Flintlock stared in disbelief, but before he had a chance to act a giant fist flew out from the smoke and knocked him across the stadium. Out of the smoke stepped an ungrazed Gyro. The punch had knocked flintlock’s pistols away, so he was now unarmed. He regained his composure and leaped up at Gyro and began punching and kicking wildly with every hit on target, but it seemed to have no effect as Gyro simply swung his arm and with the back of his hand smacked Flintlock bouncing across the ground. Then Gyro went over to him as he was struggling to his feet and simply picked him up by the head and then smashed him into the ground with tremendous force. He then in the same movement slid Flintlock across the ground by his head and then up into the air in circular motion. The he swung around with a punch-smashing Flintlock out of the air and across the stadium.

C: And the winner by a knockout! Is Gyro!!!!!

The crowd went wild with cheers, and jumped up out of their seats with excitement. 2 maintenance bots came over and brought Flintlock offside and back to his quarters to rest and get repaired.

A contestant standing next to RX turned to him and said:

“I’d hate to be the guy who has to fight him next..”

C: Next up, Gyro vs Kaiser!!!!!

(remember that Kaiser is the alias for RX)

To be continued….
