CoolTogepi Note: Terminal Chaos introduced my original character Basil into this story(Yeah!!!!). I also gave her inspiration for the next story. And now our Feature Presentation!.......

   Whoo hoo! Another fight! Sorry about the wait, ive been busy! This fight's against Diesector. -TeRmInAl_ChAoS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Washu is seen attempting to salvage some of the parts Mihoshi had destroyed)
"What was I thinking? 'Bring Mihoshi' they said. BAH! I should have just built an android instead." She looked down at the pile of twisted metal, sighed, and continued her work.
"Hey, need some help?" a strange guy asked.
"Yes, I do actually. I need someone to go through this and try to pull out anything that looks useable."
"Sounds easy. Anything else?"
"No, thats it. By the way, whats your name?"
"Basil."
"My name is Washu, Little Washu to you, t-"
Basil finished her sentence for her. "The greatest scientific genious in the universe."
"I see youve heard of me," she said while pounding a few dents out of Crab-Bots leg.
"Ive seen you around. Your kind of hard not to notice."
"Do I stand out that much?" she said with a grin. "So, wheres your bot?"
"Its over there," he said, gesturing towards a nearby table.
"I see youve already gotten it ready for its next fight. Or did the motor burn out in thr first fight?"*grin*
"No, I just havent had to do any repairs yet."
"Its armor is that strong?"
"Oh no, its just that no one been able to last long enough to do much damage," Basil mentioned calmly while pulling a chunk of metal from the pile. He examined it for a moment. "Hey, do you need this?"
"No, you can have it."
Ayeka walked over to the table. "Excuse me Miss Washu, but have you seen Tenchi lately?" She asked.
[Oh boy. She'll go ballistic if I say he went with Ryoko to find Mihoshi.]
"Is Tenchi about *hand motion* this high with short black hair and a small ponytail?" Basil asked, before Washu could tell her where Tenchi was.
"Yes he is. Have you seen him?"
"I saw him about 20 minutes ago. He was over at the concession stand."
"Thank you very much!" Ayeka ran off, probably to the concession stand.
Washu turned to Basil. "Why did you do that?"
"Do what?" he asked as he pulled what looked like a broken motor out of Washu's salvage pile.
"Nevermind."
An official looking person walked up to Basil. "You're Basil right?"
"Yeah. Is my fight up already?"
"You got it."
"Tell me again, who am I up against?"
"Toro. Good luck kid, you'll need it."
"See ya later Washu. Hopefully in the finals."
"Thats LITTLE Washu!"
(scene fade out, the back in to the announcer booth)
Bil: And another incredible fight in from RazorBlade!
Tim: I dont think Toro has EVER had that CO2 tank puntured before.
Bil: Well say goodbye to Toro, RazorBlade wins by a knockout.
Tim: We have another popular super up next, the incredible Crab-Bot.
Bil: As good as the crab is, Diesector is no pushover.
Tim: We'll see Bil. Now lets get down to the action!
(Scene change to inside the battlebox)
Mark: This is a Battlebots semifinal bout! In the red square, to my right: You think your robots tough? You won't think so after three minutes in the ring with Die(drags out the word 'die')Sector!! *extremely loud cheers*
Mark: And in the blue square, to my left: Hes the king of pain, and the one who decides your fate, its Crab-Bot! *Loud cheers*
The drivers leave the arena, and the door is shut.
Tim: The box is locked, the lights are on, its robot fighting time!
Bil: Diesector seems to be at a disadvantage for this fight, theres nothing for his main weapon to grab onto.
Tim: He does still have those hammers, and hes using them to smack Crab-Bot on the side.
Bil: No damage, but scoring points.
(The fight continues for about half a minute like this)
Tim: This is all Diesector's fight so far. Crab-Bot just doesnt have the mobility to keep facing Diesector.
Bil: Wait a minute, Diesector has stopped hitting with those hammers! Something may be wrong.
(camera shows Donald Hudson looking puzzled. when the camera returns to the box, a heavy cloud of smoke is coming out of Diesector.)
Tim: It looks like a mechanical failure has disabled Diesectors hammers! This is Crab-Bots opening!
(Crab-Bot moves towards Diesector slowly, opening and shutting its claws. it looks very menacing)
Bil: Slam-cam!
(we see what diesector is seeing. Crab-Bot is lifting it up by the hammers, and suddenly the camera goes black)
Tim: Sorry Bil, but we've lost the slam-cams signal.
Bil: Thats not all thats lost! Diesector is missing its arms!
Tim: Diesector is running straight at Crab-bot now!
*CRUNCH*
Bil: Oh, thats gonna hurt.
(Crab-Bot is seen lying flat on the ground after having its legs knocked out from under it)
Tim: Diesector is moving around for another slam.
(Crab-Bots claws fold back, revealing the drill bits)
Bil: Oh look, its the drills again!
Tim: how are those going to help?
(Crab-Bot fires the drills at the BattleBox ceiling, and starts retracting the wire, lifting itself into the air.)
Bil: Thats amazing! Those thin wires can hold up 450 pounds of metal!
(Crab-Bot resets its legs' positions and lowers back to the floor. More smoke than before is coming from Diesector)
Tim: Crab-Bot is back in the fight, and ready for some more action.
Bil: Diesector is still trying to knock Crab-Bot over, with very little success.
Tim: Fire in the hole!! Diesectors burning! (a small flame is coming from the hole where Diesectors hammer was)
(A ref yells for a Time-Out and both Drivers shut off their robots. Two men with fire extinguisers rush into the Battlebox. They put out the fire, and walk back out of the box.)
Ref: Resume the match!
Bil: Crab-Bot's moving already, but Diesector hasnt budged from his position.
(Crab-Bot scuttles quickly to the other robot, but his hit by the Hellraiser in the middle of the box.)
Tim: And the hellraisers make an appearence in the fight, knocking Crab-Bot off course.
Bil: They've started the countdown for Diesector. Things are looking bleak for Diesectors giant nut.
(Crab-Bot pokes Diesector with its claw. No response, so it backs off.)
Ref: 3... 2... 1... Stop the match! Crab-Bot is the winner!
Tim: Another great knockout by team Crab-Bot.
Bil: We've got Carmen consoling Donald Hudson.
(scene change to outside of box, Ryoko is seen in background making faces in front of the camera. Washu soon drags her off, pulling her by the ear.)
Carmen: So Donald, how bad is it?
Donald: We'll, the circuitry is fried, she ripped off my hammers, and I busted the motor in the jaw when I ran into her.
Carmen: So in other words, thats one dead bot?
Donald: *laughs* I can rebuild it! Dont worry, Diesector will live on!
Carmen: Well, you did great, and we hope to see you again next season!
Donald: Thanks, you too. *shakes her hand*
(in the pits)
"That was a close fight."
"Your not kidding Tenchi. I though he had me there at the beginning."
"Wheres Mihoshi?" Sasami asked after noticing she wasnt around.
"She was right over there," she said pointing to an empty area in the small group. "Uh oh."
Ayeka looked slightly puzzled. "Uh oh?"
"Its never good when Mihoshi is alone with electronics around. We have to find her, and fast! Tenchi, you and Sasami check around the pits. Ryoko, you check outside. Ayeka, search the audience and concession stands."
"What about you?"
"I have to fix some things for the finals."
Everyone scattered, except Washu. She went over to her robot to buff out some dents and respool the drill wires.
Basil noticed she was back and walked over to her. "Hey."
"Hi."
"That was a great fight! I havent seen a bot on fire in a while."
"It was tougher than I expected. These are such unusual robot combat designs, its getting difficult to predict."
"Your telling me. Guess what?"
"The sun's about to explode? Mihoshi found a brain?"
"Sorry, you were wrong both times. I won my fight against Toro, meaning Ill be seeing you in the finals tomorrow."
"Thats great! Can I see your robot?"
"What for? Want to see whats going to waste the crab?"
"Of course not. I want to get a picture of your bot before it gets cut in two."
"You think you'll win? Heh, we'll have to see."
"I was going to watch some of the fights, you want to join me?"
Washu considered the offer. "Sure, why not. Ive got plenty of time to buff out dents."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The end to another fight! Next round, Basils bot, Razorblade. (Caution: Stinger)What makes this bot so powerful? Where is Mihoshi? Why is my dramatic music not playing? Find out all this in the next chapter.(end stinger)
I'd like to thank CoolTogepi for use of -h-e-r- (no strikeout in notepad...) HIS character (Basil), as well as some inspiration. Another note, mainly to MST'ers. Please ask my permission before MST'ing anything of mine. Someone did an MST of something of mine, but I did NOT allow him to post it, as it was very offensive to my fic and me. Im not giving any names, to protect the stupid, er, stated parties. You can post an MST of something of mine only if it is not unnessarily degrading, and I am allowed to read it first. If you read that, thanks. -TeRmInAl_ChAoS
