“And I suppose there we have it.” Beam shouts. “Blastdigger wins. Let's all give a hand to the Arena’s newest Lightweight Monster. Such a shame it's being pulled from the League.” | “And I suppose there we have it.” Beam shouts. “Blastdigger wins. Let's all give a hand to the Arena’s newest Lightweight Monster. Such a shame it's being pulled from the League.” | ||
+ | Long moments go past, as people wonder what will happen with the upcoming match with Blue Lagoon. | ||
+ | “People of Bastion,” Beam yells. “We have a last minute change to the schedule today on account of Blastshot not being able to make it. Our newest house monster will be picking up the slack of it's former monster: brace yourselves for Blastdigger vs Blue Lagoon!” | ||
+ | |||
+ | Blue Lagoon slurps into the Arena, a large gelatinous orb of blue slime. Blastdigger is still mauling the corpse of it's former master but quickly turns it's attention to the new monster. The crowd roars with excitement, already worked up with blood-lust following the previous fight. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Blastdigger bears it's fangs, retreating from the blue orb as Blue Lagoon extrudes it's way forwards. It bumps into the Buzzsaws behind it and yelps, a spray of blood streaking the sand. It leaps leaps, turning to the unexpected source of pain. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In a moment Blue Lagoon is on it. Bounding through the air and wrapping itself around the beasts head. Blastdigger reels, clawing at it's head with the large shovel-like paws to no avail. It Blastdigger reels, stumbling around blundering into the traps that had been prepared for Blastshot, accumulating a thousand cuts and strings and bruises. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Eventually it succumbs, suffocating with Blue Lagoon wrapped around it's head. | ||
+ | |||
+ | “There we have it!” Beam yells. “Blue Lagoon wins. What a show. Can we hear it for both of these great monsters!” | ||
+ | |||
+ | The crowd screams it's approval as Network handlers carry Blastdigger out, and the triumphant Blue Lagoon parades around the blood soaked sand. | ||
//“It is fitting, that the criminal known as Blastshot should meet her fate at the hands of the Monster she neglected. While this cannot fill the hole left in us by the loss of Cinder and Volcanosaurus, it is good to know that there is some justice left in this world.\\ | //“It is fitting, that the criminal known as Blastshot should meet her fate at the hands of the Monster she neglected.

"WELCOME, FANS; WELCOME ALL! TODAY IS A PARTICULARLY EXCITING MATCH - A PARTICULARLY TRICKSY, NEWLY-EVOLVED MONSTER'S ARENA DEBUT! WILL THE FRESHLY-BAKED DOUGHBALL, WITH ITS NEW, EXCITING REPERTOIRE OF STRATEGIES, BE ABLE TO GET THE BETTER OF THE FIENDISHLY INTELLIGENT, NOTORIOUSLY VERSATILE GREY? LET'S FIND OUT!" | "WELCOME, FANS; WELCOME ALL! TODAY IS A PARTICULARLY EXCITING MATCH - A PARTICULARLY TRICKSY, NEWLY-EVOLVED MONSTER'S ARENA DEBUT!

- | The crowd is particularly excitable today. On the way to the Arena, stall vendors selling newly updated Doughball action figures were hawking their wares at top volume, and more than half the crowd are waving miniature chocolate doughnuts in support of Maximum Taste and the Monster House. Equally vociferous, of course, are the anti-Max contingency, many of whom sport hastily-designed Grey posters - in addition, of course, to Grey's own Fans, who look on the Doughball merchandise with faint disgust. Still, the Monster House publicity machine is nothing if not efficient; an incredibly loyal section of Maximum Taste Fans are already waving banners displaying slogans like 'DOUGHNUT IS IN THE RING!', and 'DOUGHBALL WILL RISE' - in addition to a couple of the old 'LET ME LICK IT' posters from several months ago. | + | The crowd is particularly excitable today.

This, as the commentator suggests, is going to be an interesting fight. Doughball has not been seen in the Arena since its spectacular evolution a few weeks before - and the Fans are nothing if not hungry for more. | This, as the commentator suggests, is going to be an interesting fight.

- | The announcer's voice is swallowed up by the sound of delighted cheers from the crowd, as the even more delicious-looking than usual Doughball comes wheeling into the centre of the floor. Now larger, firmer and glazed with sprinkle-strewn chocolate frosting, it bounces expectantly. | + | The announcer's voice is swallowed up by the sound of delighted cheers from the crowd, as the even more delicious-looking than usual Doughball comes wheeling into the centre of the floor.

Doughball takes a short, preparatory hop backwards, and begins to circle its opponent. Grey begins to stretch out its arm, with what looks like the slender barrel of some kind of mechanical projectile weapon beginning to form at the tip of its 'fingers'. | Doughball takes a short, preparatory hop backwards, and begins to circle its opponent.

- | Doughball, who seems to be concentrating exceptionally hard, nearly misses the sight of the gun - but, as Grey fires, manages to hop into the air just in time. The projectile does not hit: rather, it goes hurtling past Doughball's pudgy body. Members of the audience holding action figures wave them high in triumph. | + | Doughball, who seems to be concentrating exceptionally hard, nearly misses the sight of the gun - but, as Grey fires, manages to hop into the air just in time. The projectile does not hit: rather, it goes hurtling through the hole in the centre of Doughball's ring-shaped body. Members of the audience holding action figures wave them high in triumph. |
It's not over yet. Stepping back, Grey takes aim, and couple of new rounds are fired - but as Doughball bounces, both go wide. Meanwhile, Doughball goes back on the offensive. It seems to furrow in on itself for a brief moment - then, as the delicious smell of fresh baking wafts through the air, it spits out a gigantic wad of jam. | It's not over yet.
