-====  Basilica vs Bulwark ====
-<spoiler|Fight>
-“Trainers, Fans, are you ready for another BRUTAL match??” shouts Umpire Mangle. “We’ve got a tough couple of competitors for you this afternoon, so settle in for a PROPER SLUGFEST! It’s my honour to present to you that maritime menace, fresh from its run-in with Gladiator Omega and no doubt //harbouring// some resentment… give it up for BULWAAAAAAARK! Aaaaaaaand on the other side, an unholy temple ready to //ruin// its opponent! Let’s give a warm welcome to BASILICAAAAAAAAA!”
-Bulwark, a hulking mass of sea defences, stirs at the sound of applause. The lighthouse-like structure built into its head rotates slowly, and a glaring beam of light sweeps over the audience stands before Bulwark’s attention shifts to its challenger in the pit. Compared to Bulwark’s rough concrete defences, Basilica almost looks pretty. A network of stone arches, pillars and doorways spreads across the quintaped’s back, giving her the appearance of a vast, living temple. The Arena designers seem to have been inspired by the match-up; a large circle of stone columns and concrete walls has been built into the centre of the pit between the two Monsters, resembling their respective defences.
-“Well, these two sure look like they can take a beating! But you know the rules: once one of ‘em stays down for ten seconds, that’s the game! Let’s get started, shall we? LET. BATTLE. COMMEEEEEEEENCE!”
-There’s a cacophonous rumble as the pair begin moving towards each other, slowly but menacingly. Crashing through the pillars in the centre, they lock together; Bulwark seems to have the advantage in the contest of strength and despite Basilica’s best attempts to resist, she begins to slide back into a concrete wall. However, she suddenly spins her body to the side and slams it against the ground, knocking Bulwark off-balance with the shock wave. Basilica moves back in and once again, the Monsters crash together with a harsh screech of grinding stone.
-This time, Bulwark attempts to drive one of its enormous, concrete-armoured arms down onto Basilica’s back, but although several chips of stone are dislodged by the attack, she looks mostly unhurt. Basilica, having seen the success of her previous body slam, decides to try it again. Bulwark is prepared for it this time, though, and as Basilica rises up it goes for a low swipe that catches one of her five legs. Basilica topples to the side, completely demolishing a fifth of the circle as she falls and sending rubble flying in all directions.
-The next minute or so is brutal to watch. Bulwark mercilessly hammers away at Basilica, who does her best to slam her body against her opponent whenever there’s an opening. Both tolerate the fierce attacks surprisingly well, but Basilica’s movements are gradually beginning to slow until with a deafening crash, she sinks into the floor and stops moving. Mangle starts the count.
-"...AND THAT'S TEN SECONDS! GIVE IT UP FOR YOUR VICTOR: BULWAAAAAAARK!"

 Omega manages a dozen more attacks like this. A few large barnacles are chipped off, causing the audience amusement. Bulwark, though, is not slowed down by the spear marks. More than once, it nearly crushes the spindly human at its feet. Omega is saved only by the speed and dexterity the harness lends her.
-Suddenly, Bulwark roars, and finds a new lease of energy. It's clearly furious with this off-white, bouncy nuisance. Head lowered and pincers out either side, it //charges//. Omega tries to dart to one side, but the pincers form an effective trap. The studded rotting wooden spikes smash her against the Arena wall. The crowd 'aaah's. At least this time the Gladiator is smooshed against the pit wall. It'll be easier for maintenance to clean up.

 An air of anticlimax hovers over the whole arena.

-====  Pepper vs Jaws of Defeat ====
-<spoiler|Fight>
-There's a bit of a cult following of Pluck over the last few days, and homemade banners for JAWS OF DEFEAT can be seen flying in the stands, as well as pictures of many-headed leopards.  The stands are heaving as usual as Unfiltered begins their commentary,
-"ULTIMATE MONSTER BATTLE ARENA FANS, HOLD ONTO YOUR BINOCULARS WE HAVE TWO SMALL BUT ANGRY MONSTERS IN TONIGHT!!!  PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A LEAGUE BATTLE YOU'LL REMEMBER AS WE HAVE THE MONSTERS OF PLUCK AND SAFFRON FIGHTING TONIGHT!!!"
-The crowd cheer, and the south door opens, a cloud of smoke erupting as a leopard-shaped creature sporting many, many heads emerges, "JAWS OF DEFEAT, FOLKS, THE TERRIFYING MULTIHEADED HYDRA-LEOPARD THAT HAS GIVEN AS MANY FANS NIGHTMARES AS DREAMS - don't aww it, people! This nasty leopard can TEAR YOUR ARMS OFF and still have 10 heads left to rip the flesh from you!!  But if you prefer your flesh FLAME GRILLED then we have a treat for you: coming in from the NORTH door, adjust your binoculars fooooor PEPPER!!"
-The door opens and the smoke billows out, but it catches aflame moments later, and the silhoutted weasel is surrounded by burning clouds that dissipate quickly.  The crowds are impressed, and Unfiltered continues, "FIRE AND RAGE MAKE UP THIS LITTLE CREATURE'S HEAD, SO DON'T BE FOOLED BY ITS APPEARANCE.  Between these two Monsters you could have a pretty damn good barbecue, I won't lie, but I do NOT want to be the one on the grill!  LET'S get right to it, folks, the Arena has been modified tonight with bounceboards for BOTH sides to use, so get ready to pin your eyes to the skies: TWO MONSTERS ENTER, ONE WILL LEAVE VICTORIOUS: LET BATTLE COMMENCE!!"
-The two Monsters barrel into the Arena which, true to Unfiltered's word, is covered in spring pads and rocks to bounce off of.  The two Monsters launch into the air, and it's Jaws of Defeat that makes the first snaps toward Pepper, but misses in the air.  Pepper, now aflame, soars gracefully down to the ground and its fir bristles into scorching spines that fly through the air, only narrowly missing Jaws of Defeat!
-Jaws hits the ground, its fur singed a little from proximity, and brings its heads to lock onto Pepper.  It bounces off a high rock and lunges for the Weasel but Pepper gracefully darts out of the way, leaving a trail of fire behind her.
-The fans ooh and aah as the two engage in a cat and mouse (leopard and weasel) game through the rocks, bouncing off the scenery and soaring through the air.   Eventually, though, as the crowds start to quieten, the fight reaches a climax as another volley of scorching spikes are fired from the back of Pepper, and strike Jaws in the body.  Jaws falls to the ground, howling, and the crowd howl in approval.  Jaws attempts to get up, but Pepper is already on its back.  The many heads snap for the weasel, but it's too late: with a satisfying bite on Jaws of Defeat's back, the leopard-hydra falls to the ground and Pepper is declared VICTORIOUS.

 The audience is poised on the edge of their seat, waiting for one of Team Legit's trademark meltdowns, perhaps even a rant at the new upstart team - but everyone is surprised when they stride up and greet their opponents with complements and handshakes rather than mockery and rude gestures.  They're grudging complements, but hey, baby steps.
