FinalDolce vs. PsycloniZer--------
--------
Kody: Ooh…tension, you can feel it, can’t you?
Chezza: Please don’t make me more nervous than I already am.
Kody: Heh, alright. So…PsycloniZer. What do you think?
Chezza: I’d like to take a bite of those wheels, if I can get close enough. To get close enough I’ll have to get between the hammers…dunno if I can, though.
Kody: Good luck for the Final.
Chezza: Thank you.

Kody: Andy! Feeling nervous?
AJ: Honestly? A bit.
Kody: Normal, then. Dolce is your fight. Tactics?
AJ: Ooh…well those sides look particularly nice for my hammers to get into so I’ll aim for them. Don’t really fancy hitting that curved front so I’ll stay away from that.
Kody: Right. Good luck.
AJ: Thanks.

ACTIVATE!!!!The Final starts, and so do the hammers of PsycloniZer, making a ominous acceleration up to full speed, but Dolce is gliding in at quite a high speed itself! PsycloniZer may have the same speed as Dolce but definitely not the better acceleration! Thankfully he manages to outpace Chezza’s axebot long enough to get up to speed…unfortunately the tactics he’s aiming for aren’t going to work out as Dolce slams him the madly whirling cylinder!
CRASH!!!One of the spinning hammers grazes the wedge and sends Dolce back a bit, who is undamaged, but it’s sent PsycloniZer into the air a little as well! As he lands, Dolce turns around and stuffs the wedge into him! It tilts into the side of one of the hammers and unfortunately turns Dolce in that direction, much like Spin Dash in Andy’s last battle. This means that Dolce can’t get in a good attack, and PsycloniZer, to be quite precise, is kinda trapped as it’s been lifted off the ground!
Dolce tries to turn and ram into the front of Andy’s machine but the cylinder proves too nimble to be caught and as it lands it glides quickly away from the wedge! Dolce rams after the MN! Champ, who is again spinning up that deadly ring of hammers, and still evades the charge by Dolce who turns sharply again and finds that the ring is back at where AJ wants it: maximum speed! With what can be best described as either extreme bravery, or extreme stupidity, Chezza directs the axe bot straight towards the spinning, twirling mass! AJ doesn’t want to meet the wedge again, however, and makes another desperate strafe away from the slightly girlish-looking robot. Dolce turns, much too harshly, and makes a full 180, exposing its right side! Ah…
CRASH!!!Knew that was going to happen. ;D PsycloniZer tears into that exposed side, and yet the entire impact seems to have been transferred into Dolce, as it gets sent flying a few feet…and is without a side panel! The right front wheel is horribly exposed as are most of the mechanics, and PsycloniZer needs one good hit to finish this early. Dolce however isn’t going to let him and barges in to interrupt the ‘victory party’, immediately stopping the hammers cold, and getting between the hammers, pushing PsycloniZer into the wall! WHAM!
Now Chezza has Andy completely where he wants him, and gets to work: Dolce brings the axe straight down on PsycloniZer’s top! WHACK! The Hardox is slightly dented! WHACK! It’s dented some more! WHACK! And more! WHACK! …need I say more? WHACK! Yes I do! There’s a hole! WHACK! And it’s made even bigger! WHACK! And bigger! Dolce shakes around a little, but by no means has it released his prey! WHACK! A small dent made by the even larger hole! WHACK! The dent is carved larger…and The Watcher bumps into Dolce to release PsycloniZer, who does so…and it has become apparent that PsycloniZer’s movement has been largely impaired by that swift hammering by Dolce! It’s much at a much more unrefined pace.
Chezza has gained new life now, as Dolce quickly hurtles into the immobile weapon of PsycloniZer and smacks it into Exa-Gore-Ic’s CPZ. Exa-Gore-Ic eagerly creeps forward and snatches PsycloniZer, but by one of the hammers…Dolce gives PsycloniZer another hail of blows from the axe, and now that top armour is looking utterly chewed up and spit out! Exa-Gore-Ic suddenly turns and throws PsycloniZer straight into the CPZ! Dolce can’t get at PsycloniZer…so it reverses straight into the pit release button as Ancalagon makes its way over to Exa-Gore-Ic’s CPZ…
The pit descends for the last time, and Exa-Gore-Ic holds PsycloniZer fast, and all AJ’s hopes of winning the tournament are draining steadily. Dolce wants some of the action again and hurtles once more into the CPZ. Trying to get at PsycloniZer, it catches Exa-Gore-Ic’s side and tilts towards it, throwing Dolce into a quick 180 and pinioning it against one of the claws of the house robot. Ancalagon waits patiently outside the CPZ to make an assault on the trapped competitors…and Exa-Gore-Ic swings PsycloniZer away towards Ancalagon! Psyclonizer is released, however, and though his movements is somewhat shaken, he moves away quickly enough to avoid a belting from Ancalagon’s weaponry!
Dolce shoots off out of the CPZ as well, but the house robot’s decision has cost Chezza, as PsycloniZer has gotten a chance to spin up again and those hammers are moving quite quickly! Dolce lines it up and shoots straight in again, striking the ring spinner like a thunderbolt!
CRASH!!!Oh dear! Dolce has been flung quite a ways away, as PsycloniZer mashed into the left side, Dolce not able to hit it precisely where it wanted to, and pays for it. PsycloniZer doesn’t look stable, it’s wobbling quite violently…it stops…and spins. Dolce moves in again, and PsycloniZer is away. Repetition, collision, perseverance, this is what we like to see and certainly the judges do as well. Dolce shrugs off the dent-dealing side blow and, whirls into the storm that is PsycloniZer!
CRASH!!!And this time PsycloniZer isn’t so lucky! Just like the first blow of the match, it’s bounced on top of Dolce’s wedge, and directly on top of it now! Dolce moves in against the wall, rather slowly I might add, and…and….hang on, what’s happened to the axe? Has PsycloniZer disabled Dolce’s weaponry? Or has it been USED UP? Was Dolce too cocky in hammering PsycloniZer earlier and consumed all of its CO2 supply? Ahh…not a wise decision, but PsycloniZer can’t be praised much as it’s propped up against the wedge of Dolce and pegged in there… Dolce releases, PsycloniZer is away but Dolce is in there again, pushing into the cage and shoving PsycloniZer about the floor – BZZT! The arena saws have their say! PsycloniZer is dealt a blow to the underside, and – BZZT! Dolce follows suit! Neither look affected by the blows of the saws and Dolce continues pushing its enemy across the arena…WHAM.
PsycloniZer is again pinned up against the wall, unable to spin. This has definitely become a tiring battle, but who will be the first to fall under the strain of each other’s damaging weapons? WHACK! WHOA-HO! Dolce has its axe working again and PsycloniZer’s top armour is damaged even further! WHACK! Another punishing blow, I don’t know how much longer Andy’s robot can take the effect of the axe, but The Watcher is in there again and roughly bumps into Chezza’s axebot, reminding him about holding your opponent…and PsycloniZer is away. Dolce’s chase has slowed drastically and now it can’t get to PsycloniZer in time…and now the spinning cage is back to speed! Dolce is approaching, and steadily and surely…
CRASH!!!PsycloniZer is AGAIN thrown up onto the wedge, but slides off and is away. Dolce is barely able to move under the pressure of these blows…and still battles on! PsycloniZer is quite impressed under its own weary and buckled chassis, yet spins up yet again and heads, almost as slowly as its opponent, right back in! Dolce is just too determined to give up now –
CRASH! WHACK!
OH, LOOK AT THE DAMAGE! LOOK AT THAT DAMAGE! PsycloniZer came straight in…and Dolce brought down the axe! It’s really not done any good for Dolce, and much worse can be said now that the axe has been cleanly ripped off! But has it done something to PsycloniZer as well? PsycloniZer can’t spin up, it seems, and now we have two very disabled robots out there! Dolce just barely able to keep going…and PsycloniZer is by far now the more mobile…it pushes into Dolce’s side, as the latter can’t get to grips with its 0 turning circle, and starts to push it…BZZT! Whe-hey! Dolce takes a ride on the top of the arena saws once more – get away PsycloniZer, you wouldn’t want to take a 2nd blow yourself…Dolce is still moving, but barely, it’s right near the flame pit AND VENTING CO2!!! Oh dear! Look at this, the CO2 bottles have burst open by the look of it, and Chezza sees his robot disappear under a thick cloud of the stuff as PsycloniZer heads into the cloud, and pushes Dolce onto the flame pit!
The flames eagerly lick the underside of the once-axey robot, and I believe that Dolce has finally stopped moving. PsycloniZer wearily wheels to the other side of the pink wedge and starts pushing, but The Watcher is already counting Dolce out.
1, 2, 3,
PsycloniZer is pushing Dolce straight towards the pit
4, 5, 6,
Dolce is past the middle of the arena
7, 8, 9,
PsycloniZer stops, backs up and rams Dolce further
10!PsycloniZer guns forward, as Exa-Gore-Ic and Ancalagon blaze out of their CPZs, but now Dolce is on the edge of the pit, and…BOOM! PsycloniZer pushes its worthy opponent straight into the hole and the house robots are completely robbed! They turn on PsycloniZer in wrath…which results in the new champion throwing himself down the pit as well. ;D
CEASE!
Dolce proved the lackeys otherwise, and it was no ‘dunce’ by any means. Unfortunately, the buck stops here, Chezza. ;D
PSYCLONIZER WINS THE CRASH & BURN MINI-TOURNAMENT OF DEATH!!!!!--------

Kody: Awwwww…so close…
Chezza: I know…I guess I have to accept it.
Kody: You definitely had him going though.
Chezza: Well yeah, I had him against the sides of the arena, and gave him quite a hammering, but once I lost the axe I knew that was it. I thought I would stop him spinning by axing him but I should have counted on losing my own weapon…
Kody: At least you didn’t wind up house robot fodder.
Chezza: Have to hand it to honourable opponents.
AJ: Haha. :-)
Kody: Everybody give it up for the gallant runner-up: DOLCE!!!
*crowd cheers*
Kody: Well! YOU DID IT!
AJ: w00t indeed!
Kody: How does it feel?
AJ: Haha, I honestly don’t exactly know. But it sure feels good, I’ll say that! ;D
Kody: He had you on the ropes for quite a bit.
AJ: Oh yeah, that was scary. He kinda disabled my speed controller when he kept hammering me, couldn’t move that fast. And then in the CPZ, whoo boy…I thought I was done. In fact, I was also slightly afraid when he brought down the axe on the spinning ring but…heh.
Kody: And why’d you dump him down the pit instead of giving him to the house robots?
AJ: Those old berks have done enough destroying!
Kody: And here you go! *holds out a small trophy indicating the tournament winner: PSYCLONIZER*
AJ: All right!
Chezza: *claps*
Kody: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! YOUR WINNER IS:
PSYCLONIZER!!!!!!*crowd cheers madly*
