ACTIVATE!!!

The match starts with both robots whirling around, trying to find an opening in the other€™s advances. It€™s Killotine who makes the first brave charge, straight around Cosmic Thunder€™s side, however Alex turns his wedge around so he can keep Killotine locked-on, and as Killotine halts to turn, he charges. Unfortunately Killotine turns a bit too fast for Alex and they both meet wedge-to-wedge. What makes matters worse for Alex is that great big dirty axe that€™s coming down on him! WHACK! The 9mm Lexan is pierced! Killotine, with his prey, drives it into the wall. WHAM. However this doesn€™t solve much other than the fact that Steve€™s got Alex pinned there. Neither can get under the other, and Killotine goes for another hacking. WHACK! The same spot as before, and the hole is widened. Cosmic Thunder tries to push back, but Killotine ain€™t letting him get away yet. Up...up...up goes the axe...and then down again! WHACK! Same spot, and the whole axe head is lodged in there now. With that said and done, Killotine now takes Cosmic Thunder from the wall, pinning him in place with the axe, and looks around for a dangerous spot to put Alex€™s bot in. Ah, why not, the arena saws. Cosmic Thunder struggles but to no avail, and pretty soon...BZZT! Ah, lovely. The 6mm titanium gives way to a soaking of sparks. The Watcher, having seen enough, decides to ram Killotine from the side to release Cosmic Thunder. Rather incensed, Killotine retracts the axe, lifting Cosmic Thunder off the ground a bit as it goes back, and then finally the wedge falls to the ground. Alex hurriedly drives his robot away, unkeen on another and possibly fatal stabbing and sawing. His tires seem to be fine as they manoeuvre Cosmic Thunder around the arena, and eventually we end up back where we started, as both bots are facing each other. Steve, confidently, drives Killotine around Cosmic Thunder, the latter keeping the wedge on him, and following up with a charge mid-way through. Killotine avoids this, just barely, but now Cosmic Thunder has a clear shot at Killotine€™s rear! Just how quickly can Killotine react to this? ...not quick enough, as Cosmic Thunder finds the side instead of the rear, and...yep, he€™s got under that damned skirt! FLIP! Over goes Killotine, right up onto its back! The axe fires but Cosmic Thunder is right there waiting for him to land, and Killotine collapses right on back onto the flipper. Cosmic Thunder€™s going to the arena wall! Here€™s the FLIP! Aaaaaand...no. The flip sends Killotine flying into the wall, but definitely not over it, and at a great angle, as Killotine lands on its back, rights itself, and gets away before Cosmic Thunder can really try another attempt at an OOTA. Killotine roams around the arena, stops at the pit release button, spins around, and is nearly bowled over by a rocketing Cosmic Thunder who shoves him right into the button - OH NO! He€™s opening the pit, but Killotine has him in line with it! AND - ooohhh...what a close call, as Cosmic Thunder spins away - WHOA! Killotine nearly sends himself in. Cosmic Thunder gets in again, and takes a stab at Killotine€™s sides again, but Killotine€™s already turned to him and rammed him back. Speaking of stabbing...WHACK! There€™s the axe again, and it€™s made a hole in a place right beside the earlier hole! Killotine pushes Cosmic Thunder around, and towards the wall again. WHAM. Shoved - HEY! Killotine€™s got under Cosmic Thunder€™s wedge! Nice breach of security there, Stevo. WHACK! Cosmic Thunder gets hax0red again, and surprisingly in the same place as before, though it€™s hard to tell if any additional damage was caused. Killotine has grabbed him again, though, and plans to execute his foe ASAP! Twisting round, he brings Cosmic Thunder back to the arena saws. BZZT! Oho! That just flung Cosmic Thunder away off of Killotine, nearly wrenching Killotine€™s axe head off, and...ironically, onto the flame pit. Killotine races after him, putting the axe firmly back into place. Cosmic Thunder, in the light of the flames, blindly lunges out. It proves to be costly, as Killotine tackles him in the side. No skirt penetration, but it€™s the axe€™s time to shine. WHACK! The Lexan on the other side of the flipper gets it, and Cosmic Thunder isn€™t able to pull away in time as he€™s grabbed once more by Killotine. Steve then remembers that the pit is open, and shakes his head, wondering why he didn€™t take Cosmic Thunder there the second time. This time, however, it€™s quite clear what Steve€™s intentions are, and try as Alex might, it doesn€™t look like he€™s going to be to escape his ultimate fate. Killotine lunges towards the pit, Cosmic Thunder with the axle lodged in the Lexan, and unable to fight against the tug of Killotine€™s axe is shoved down...BOOM!

CEASE!

Cosmic Thunder 2€™s last remaining charges have fizzled out.
Killotine: EVO (9) advances to the next round!!!
