Fight 4:

(Martijn entry 2) vs. Verticality vs. Nitro-Gene 4.0

Seeing as how I feel like being weird today, and Martijn hasnt got his second entry in, he will today be driving Brown Trousers Time, an aluminium invertible box with a rear wedge, driven by LEM130s at 36v and a front disc weapon, that is spun from a petrol engine within five seconds to over 60,000 million revolutions per second. Yes, it genuinely is brown trousers time.

Immediately Verticality begins to spin up, the forces of the weapon making it roll slightly backwards, and as Frank attempts to correct this there is immediately a problem; the combined forces of the disc going effectively backwards and the track going forwards are creating an effect similar to a frenetic and emotionally scarred hamster running up a tired and slippy treadmill - i.e. nothing. Nitro-Gene comes in to try and flip Verticality, but on the other side of the arena, Martijn presses the button for Brown Trousers Times disc to spin up.
What happens next will probably be studied for many months to come, and will go down in history as both a milestone in mankinds technological advancement and a sign of my shaky grasp of physics. As the disc begins to spin to maximum speed, the velocity of it creates an irreversible tear in the space-time fabric of the world, as speeds of over ten thousand miles an hour causing everything around the disc to be sucked into the black hole, the antimatter vortex caused by the spinner. Verticality, with its shaky grip on the arena floor, is first, flying in towards Brown Trousers Time and then vanishing in a flash of magnolia light. Nitro-Genes four wheel drive assists it in clinging to the arena floor for just a few more moments, the flipper firing in desperation, but as the vented gas is flung to the centre of the growing storm, so is Nitro-Gene. Paul stares in disbelief at the scene, while Martijn gasps at what he has created, and Frank makes the fatal mistake of scratching his head, and is torn headlong from his seat and into the zone of rupture before Martijn has the chance to stop the spinning and attempt to repair what he has done.
The rend remains, but the effects are no longer present...that which has been lost, though, cannot be regained.

CEASE

Brown Trousers Time is through to round 2!
