ACTIVATE!

Monsoon wants to get his opponent out...but the seeded machine isn't so keen to let this happen, easily at least! Wedge Devo races around his tracked counterpart, eager to see if he can get around the Welsh machine. This he indeed does, and penetrates the side, but Monsoon manages to get away and Wedge Devo nearly flips himself! The delay caused by this allows Daniel to get at Wedge Devo's own sides, but the same thing occurs as Wedge Devo backs off and Monsoon flips way too late, also nearly overturning himself! Wedge Devo moves back in but Monsoon turns to get the plate in and what we find is a head-to-head collision, precisely what neither of them wanted. After a little pushing by Monsoon, Dan is able to get Monsoon's flipping plate under Wedge Devo's flipping blade, but Wedge Devo backs off before any flippage can happen...but Monsoon is at its heels! Wedge Devo manages to get away as Monsoon tries to go after it, but its tracks do hinder it slightly here, as Wedge Devo's nippy four wheel drive allows it a quicker getaway! Steve McGregor returns to his original tactics, having found them work once before, and work they indeed do again! Only this time, Wedge Devo actually manages to flip Monsoon Season onto its back this time! It was nearly a 360 too, but Monsoon hit the other side and bounced off! Wedge Devo is under it again but - goodness me!! What a self-right! Monsoon Season activated its flipper and sent itself rocketing across the arena! Back on its tracks, it turns to find Wedge Devolution in its face again, but this time the 10th seed is lower! Monsoon however makes a quick back turn and Wedge Devo nearly ends up eating wall! However, its skirts help protect it against Monsoon's rough shovings, and Team Braveheart gets its nasty flipping beast out of danger. Monsoon gives chase now, but the position re-asserts itself as Wedge Devo dodges and makes for the sides again!

Daniel now tries a different approach, and as Wedge Devo circles around, Monsoon makes a spin in the other direction! This takes Steve completely off-guard, and Wedge Devo's side is exposed! Monsoon guns the motors and breaches the skirt for a second time, getting under the main body before the Wedge can retreat and tips it over! Wedge Devo immediately self-rights but Monsoon is quick enough to shove the plate in before Wedge Devo lands - oh! It's wedged on the plate! Monsoon roars towards the arena wall...and Wedge Devo fires its flipper! Monsoon also fires its own, but Wedge Devo fell off a bit, and thus Steve's machine, instead of being sent over the fence, is flung straight into it! Monsoon loses control and crashes right into the inverted 10th seed with its plate open, and it comes back down...weakly clamping it. What an odd turn of events. Wedge Devo again tries to self-right, but fails. This does dislodge it from Monsoon's clamp, and as Monsoon lowers the plate, Wedge Devo self-rights once more and gets the hell out of there! A scary moment for them there, and Dan is enraged! Monsoon is back on the attack, but Wedge Devo dodges the charge. Monsoon attempts its tricky spin again but Steve is ready and snakes in before Monsoon Season can complete its turn! Monsoon fires its flipper to try and lift itself off the plate...and does so! Wedge Devo fired the flipper and flipped itself! Had Wedge Devo not done that, they would have take Monsoon to the wall and that would have been it! But now Monsoon Season is in control! Wedge Devo self-rights, but onto the plate of Monsoon - oh dear! They bounced right off it and onto the side of the plate! Monsoon turns, but that causes Wedge Devo to fall right off the plate and onto its wheels! Monsoon pushes, but Wedge Devo backs off and Monsoon exposes its side again! Before it can recover, Wedge Devolution is under it and brings it to the arena wall! Monsoon tries its flipping trick like it did before, and is tossed into the wall rather than over it! But Wedge Devo lowers its flipper quickly, and as Monsoon tries to right itself, Wedge Devolution picks it up and a final flick...decides the match! Monsoon gone, it's over!

CEASE!

It was a rainy day in Merthyr Tydfil as Monsoon Season is washed away like dried jellyfish remains!
Wedge Devolution (10) advances to the Series Semi-Finals!!

Next time on C&B4

The final quarter beckons; 8th seeded Gehenna and challenger Lime-y ask no quarter, I can tell you.
Two golden oldies rough each other up in the forms of The Crashing Bore 2 and M.O.R.D. 2!
And lightweight lunacy is on the cards as well. Two diabolical spinners, Ziggo and Ground Zero, take to the arena!
