*Ducks pie, it hits Frank. Nails Dave with the backup pie as he turns*

[dinowarrior]

*Ducks back-up pie...this time it hits Steven. Steven throws 3 pies at Dave, but he ducks each time.*

*Hits Daves rear end with a paddle.*

DAVE: ARRGHH!!

*Fourth pie hits Dave*

[velociraptor]

Drilla Killa 7 will just use its usual tactics of ramming opponents in the side and drillin away.

*Nicks all used pies and places them onto the sign-up page for Ai:Pie*

Tell me why does the river not flow?

Yay, it is that time again, when I get enough energy to do the fights, after 2 weeks of pretty much writer€™s block, I felt it was best to do these fights before half-term.

The 4 finalists are raring to go, ready to see who will move one step closer to getting the last Far cup to be handed out. However first is the fifth place playoff, where the 4 robots knocked out in round 5 fights each other for 5th place, just for ranking reasons!

5th Place Playoff
Tanto 3 vs. Son of Ripper 4 vs. Drilla Killa 7 vs. Tails

All 4 robots are in the arena, as the 5th place medal is getting ready with the prize money ready for the 5th and 6th placed robots. As the clock lights up above, the traffic lights are on, the red is shining, Ref has his paddle up, as the countdown has began

Straight away the power from Tanto 3 is seen, as Matt drives straight towards Drilla Killa 7, as Tails starts to spin it€™s disc, and Son of Ripper starts to drive towards Tails to get revenge for ForcePower Turbo, as Tanto 3 slams into the front wedge of Drilla Killa 7 getting underneath without much troubles before Matt puts on full power, slamming Drilla Killa 7 straight into the arena wall. Drilla Killa 7 bounces away, the rear wedge took the pain, as it has bent inwards. Son of Ripper meanwhile has flipped Tails over and once more, pushing Tails into the path of the Tanto.

Drilla Killa 7 comes back, and slams into the side of Tails, as it is a Gang Up on Tails moment, as Son of Ripper flips Tails over, as Tanto 3 puts on full power and slams the inverted Tails straight into the arena wall. Andy, gets the front wedge under Drilla Killa 7, the damaged side from it€™s moment against Automatic Schmuck still visible where the panel has a large scar straight though it, as Son of Ripper flips Drilla Killa 7 upwards, as Tanto 3 rams into the rear of Son of Ripper pushing it into Drilla Killa 7, which is resting against the wall, and Andy fires the flipper, sending Drilla Killa 7 over the fence and down onto the tracks.

Tails has opened the pit release, it€™s rear end completely bent from the impact, as Tanto 3, turns and at once is underneath Tails€™ front and has started to push Tails towards the arena wall once more. Son of Ripper turns and gives chase to Tanto 3 as it slams Tails into the wall, making it jump around, before resting on it€™s side, and falling down onto the flipper. Son of Ripper rams into Tails, pushing it around, and giving the rear end a good hit by the rear disc, as Tails starts to leak co2, in a cloud. Tanto 3 slams into the front end of Son of Ripper, and it goes up the wedge. Andy has a smile upon his face, as Tails is counted out by Ref. A sad end for such a comedy robot.

Tanto 3 is flipped quickly over the arena wall, by Son of Ripper, as Andy turns around, as the red card is shown at Tails, as in a twist, Steve€™s robot has survived just long enough to claim 6th. There is no question who gets 5th though.

Cease

Son of Ripper flips Drilla Killa 7 and Tanto 3 over the fence rips out the heart of Tails, to take the 5th place medal.

Round 6
Fight 1

Giga-Byte (15) vs. Achilles (23)

We are positive that a seed vs. non-seed final will take place, as the two remaining seeds take each other one. The old champion against the former NSBFL champion. Only one will get into the final, but whom will it be?

Once more Achilles is using the Co2.

And as the first semi final gets underway, Giga-Byte is away first, accelerating away from the starting squares, closely followed by Achilles, as Andy will be trying his old claw and pit method used against all of his victims to date. Alex dodges the initial attack from Giga-Byte, as Andy tries to get around the side, worried about the extra power from Achilles and that flipper, which shouldn€™t affect Giga-Byte because it is invertible.

Alex turns to dodge another attack from Giga-Byte, Andy turning quickly to counter-attack, Achilles attack, as both robots enter into a dancing contest, full of attacks and dodges, as Giga-Byte is trying to attack Achilles to get the claws around the corner because of Achilles€™ length and odd shape being claw unfriendly, but the shock was that Alex has broken away and has opened the pit, by depressing the button.

Both robots turn to face each other, and both drive towards each other, as Andy at the last moment dodges Achilles attack, but can not launch an counter-attack, until it is too late to get around the sides, as Achilles turns around and both robots meet head-on. Giga-Byte fires it€™s claws onto Achilles, and starts to push backwards, but Alex puts down his power and starts to push Giga-Byte backwards, the wheels spinning on the arena surface trying to gain grip, but nothing, as Achilles is getting nearer the pit. Alex doesn€™t want to risk the risk of getting pitted himself, as he holds Giga-Byte near and fires the flipper, sending Giga-Byte up and a quick ram from Achilles and Giga-Byte is down 6 feet under. The smoke has started to rise from the pit, as Achilles spins around, Alex is happy.

Cease

Achilles (23) wins over Giga-Byte (15) via pit. Achilles moves into the final to face either Dr. Frank or Mr. Tom.

Fight 2
The Disc 5 vs. Automatic Schmuck

Will The Disc prove to be the robot who beats Automatic Schmuck who has pretty much walked all over the 6 robots it has fought to get to round 6? Or will Tom€™s machine do the job that many has tried and many have failed, in beating the disc?

Automatic Schmuck has it€™s bar up to speed straight away, as Tom starts to move forward, Aaron is controlling the weapon, and both want this fight over with so they can go back to watch Australia beat the rest of the world in cricket, but lose out on getting into the footy world cup by a south American team nobody has heard off. The Disc 5 starts to roll forward; the evil vertical disc is up to speed, after Frank spent a couple of days working on replacing the motor for the disc, after it gave up the ghost.

Both robots are coming towards each other; Automatic Schmuck turns, and manages to control where it wants to hit onto The Disc, as Frank is trying to protect his poor wheels from that nasty bar, even though they are protected behind a semi circler unit of titanium and spikes. Both robots are nearing each other, as Automatic Schmuck dodges The Disc€™s attack, as Frank tries to land a blow onto the sides of Automatic Schmuck, but the bar has made it€™s impact, and spins The Disc around with the torque from the bar, as another hit onto the side doom is created.

A large cut has appeared in The Disc€™s wheel hub, as Automatic Schmuck is sticking onto The Disc 5, like chewing-gum sticks to your foot, as another strike onto the wheel hub, and the hub has started to come away, the bolts holding it onto the main chassis are coming away with the energy being directed into them. The Disc 5 manages to strike the side of Automatic Schmuck, but due to the lowness of Automatic Schmuck, the skirt doesn€™t raise into the bar, which has come to a stop for a moment, as Tom turns Automatic Schmuck around on the spot, and goes straight into the disc, the bar up to speed, after just a couple seconds.

Frank tries to get away, but the speed and power from Automatic Schmuck has caught it out, and both weapons meet each other, as The Disc jumps, before coming to a rest, the disc itself has been damaged by that bar, as it hangs loose, the sideways force knocking the vertical disc from it€™s bearing, as the bar on Automatic Schmuck is up to speed as the gap is closing, as Frank is looking for a quick way out, unable to protect himself against Automatic Schmuck, as Tom strikes once more, and the first major damage is done as the side wheel pod comes rolling away, showing the world what they all wanted to see, The Disc€™s fancy 3 wheel system on one side, mounted in a free moving frame, as Tom can not bring himself around to destroying such a lovely piece of engineering work, as he comes away and strikes down hard onto the other side, and after a couple of impacts, that hub has come away.

30 seconds are left of the battle, as Frank starts to hold back from attacking like a mad dog to protect The Disc from further un-repairable damage for the third place playoff or even the final, as Automatic Schmuck starts to spin it€™s bar up for one final time, as Tom drives into the pit release tyre, ripping it clean away from the wall, before stopping the bar and pushing The Disc 5 towards the pit, without much fuss from Frank, because he will know what will happen if he tries to make a fuss. The smoke is rising from the pit, as Automatic Schmuck rounds up the bent hubs and puts them down the pit as well.

Cease

Automatic Schmuck wins over The Disc 5 via Pitting, a bit of sportsmanship at the end of the fight, as Frank will be fighting for 3rd, the bronze medal, and that year-long supply of coffee.
