And so, Round One is over and Round Two has begun, with more fun! More randomness! More likelihood of Kane having to edit my posts!

First, even though its third: Woodpecker vs. Without You vs. Mega Masher 2

ROBOTEERS, STAND BY *all roboteers stand very by*

Booth 1: Chris Mason, Dan Stickler
Booth 2: Martijn Benschop

Without You immediately begins to spin up, as Woopecker comes forward and tries to box rush its opponent, slamming into the front of Without You in a shower of sparks from the bar, but Daniel manages to get an axe hit in on one of the rear wheels of its adversary, and after a few more hits jams the blade down between the wheel and the bodywork, locking them together. Mega Masher, meanwhile, is controlling itself, and appears to be having difficulty reconciling its prerogative to cause damage with its inner spirit wishing to run free, and the result of this would seem to involve a lot of ramming into the angle grinders.

Chris hasnt noticed this, though, as his eyes are firmly fixed on a young woman in the audience, radiating a look somewhere between lust and childlike wonder. She appears to be returning his interest, and he slowly rises from his seat and approaches her through the crowd, as if he were walking on air. One cliche leads to another, and before long they are in each others arms inside an oak panelled country cottage, with a roaring fire and violin music playing. It is as if they only exist for each other, and the entire world and all of history have all built up to this one momen-

CRASH!

What was that?
Its...I dont know for sure, but...Ellen, this may not make sense to you right now, and Im sorry, but I have to go
Oh, Chris...Why? We could have been so happy together...
I know, but-

CRASH!

-its Brown Trousers Time
*giggle* Oh, Chris, youre so witty...
No, it genuinely is. Its a robot, and it has a disc-
Oh, darling, not those dastardly robots again. Cant we focus on more pressing things, like why half of our lovely house has suddenly disappeared?
*sigh* Thats the reason. Its disc spins so fast, it actually bends the space time structure that holds the universe together.
What?
It messes things up, and its caused so much damage, it-

CRASH!

-actually its effects are beginning to reach into the previous battle!
NO!

CRASH!

Chris, hold on to me!
Im trying Ellen, but...if we dont make it through...

CRASH!

...I love you...

CRASH!

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WAAAAHHHHH!!!!

As the words left Chriss lips, he was torn from his peace and into the rend in the fabric of the world, leaving naught but memories behind.

-2>Meanwhile, in the arena Without You had lost a drivechain from Woodpeckers attack and had long been immobilised, but thats not important right now. We must just sit and remember what could have been...

CEASE

Woodpecker goes through to the semi finals!
