Welcome to the 2 round 2 battles from Heat A of the Fowler fic War Series 5.
Without further a do let's get on with the first one Shovearound 2 v Seung Mina II
3... 2... 1... Activate!
Tony stated his tactics clearly as "avoid Tengu" so he should have no issues with carrying that out in this fight. Kody immediately tries to carry out his tactics though, and starts trying to manouvre around the sides though. Shovearound 2 just keeps running away though, his superior speed carrying him away from his FEMALE opponent
Kody tries to launch another attack, but Tony is quicker this time and turns the front round to meet him, and the newly repaired forks go straight underneath him with no difficulty. Tony begins to grind his wheels in and then goes into full shunt mode and slams him into the arena well, raising the forks, and trying to stack Seung Mina II against the wall. The flipper comes to Kody's rescue however and as he fires it he falls back onto his wheels but onto the top of Shovearound 2.
Tony tries to give Seung Mina II a piggyback towards the pit release button, but Kody falls off, and then shoves Shovearound 2 from the side with his back end, stopping him opening the pit. Tony is annoyed by this manouvre and turns to face Seung Mina II sliding the forks underneath the front once again and manouvres him this time into the CPZ. Dead Metal is waiting for him and the saw comes down, releasing sparks as it makes contact with the 6mm Hardox. Sandwiched between the house robot and Shovearound 2, Kody has no way of helping his robot escape, but eventually shovearound 2 takes mercy on him, and slides away, allowing Seung Mina II to reverse out of the CPZ, albeit straight back onto the forks.
This time however he gets his way and manouvres Seung Mina II across to the other side of the arena and into the pit release button. The siren sounds, and the pit is slowly released, sinking into it's state as a hole in the floor. Shovearound 2 lifts the forks, and leaves Seung Mina II hanging on the edge. He lowers them once more, and Seung Mina II begins teetering on the edge. One nudge more and Seung Mina II goes down, but not without overbalancing the champ and pulling him down with him. But it's too late.
CEASE
The champ's run is not over yet but there is nothing but a soul left of Seung Mina II. They go out.

Welcome to our second round 2 battle from Heat A, where potential is in great supply from this battle between Tempest Evil-Est-Oution and Black Panther Queen
3... 2... 1... Activate!
It's Black Panther Queen who comes out of the blocks, and with his speed, double that of Tempest's, carries him straight into the FFW1 champion's descendant who now finds himself without a seeding. Frank's machine is just about spun up enough to knock Alex away though. He tries to move away and spin up again, but Black Panther Queen is closer to him this time and gets the flipper plate underneath him, firing the flipper followed by the axe. The axe does absolutely nothing to the thick titanium shell but the flipper sends the invertible ring spinner onto his back with great ease. No sooner has he stopped wobbling around the arena though, than Alex gets another attack in, firing the flipper without the axe this time and throwing Tempest across the arena.
The axe had provided Alex with a modicum of control before, but this time Frank has been thrown far enough away from his opponent that he can move away and spin up. Alex charges towards him but Tempest shifts sideways, with Alex having to slow down quickly to avoid hitting the fence. He turns again, knowing that he'll have to bite the bullet, and goes straight into the spinning shell with the front flipper. Titanium may be strong but it's not that strong, and the hardox teeth on Tempest bend one of the arms, pulling the flipper immediately out of place. The attack barely slows the shell down and Frank comes straight back in for more, this time hitting the same arm, and snapping it.
Alex fires the flipper to prove it still works, but has an added bonus as it just about flicks Tempest into the air, where his teeth hit the floor slowing the shell down. Alex comes in for another attack, sliding the battered flipper underneath and bring down the axe again. No sign of weakness from that, and although it doesn't do anything more than a small dent, he manages to grab onto Tempest, promptly dragging him towards the CPZ where Matila is waiting.
With her rear at the ready Matilda, gives Tempest the moony of all moonies, slamming into the side of Tempest, who shows the strength of his armour by escaping with nothing more than a scratch. It also throw him off the flipper of the Panther who's axe has also been forced back into it's resting position. He tries to turn away and stop Tempest spinning up but Frank's already there, and slams into the side of Black Panther Queen, sending him spinning away, a large gash in his side panel. The impact throws him back into Matilda's CPZ and the vertical disc has its turn, slamming into the opposite side completely tearing off one of the side skirts.
Looking severely battered and sheepish, Black Panther Queen sluggishly makes her way towards Tempest again, but Frank's spun his robot up once more, and the full speed shell hits the other arm, bending it outwards. Gas immediately starts to erupt from the machine, as the flipper fires at the force of the ipact before returnign to it's resting position. Trying to hit Tempest before it spins up again he comes in with the rear, but tempest moves slightly and slams into the back left corner, tearing a huge gash into the side.
This seems to be the impact that Alex feels the force of, and it may have done some damage to one of the drive motors as he seems unable now to go in a straight line. Turning around, he finds Tempest waiting there again, who slams into the front flipper again, snapping th eother arm, and leaving the flipper blade lying on the floor of the arena. Black Panther Queen is a mess, but may just about be able to hold on for a judges decision.
Tempest has other ideas though and slams into the back panel, once, twice, three times, each time backign away to get some of the extra speed back. Smoke is pouring out of the back of Black Panther Queen, and on the fourth Attack the back skirt along with the panel behind it is torn apart, leaving the removeable link very visible. Alex realises that enough is enough and gives up the controls. One final attack from Tempest and it's all over as the faisafe is removed and with it the power to black Panther Queen.
The house robots, Matilda and Shutn come out to have their fun as Refbot counts her out, but seeing how wrecked the machien is already they decide to play nice, Matilda putting her on the arena flipper while Shunt opens the pit. Black Panther Queen flies across the arena, landing in a smoking heap in the middle of the floor, before Shunt pushes her into another smoking heap in the middle of the floor, ending the battle.
CEASE
Black Panther Queen might just have to abdicate Tempest Evil-Est-Oution storms through

Welcome to the heat final of Heat A of the Fowler Fic War Series 5 where Shovearound 2 and Tempest Evil-Est-Oution are about to fight for the first place in our quarter finals.
House robots for this right are Growler and Sergeant Bash
3... 2... 1... Activate!
And we're off to find the first member of our last 16. Shovearound 2 makes the far quicker start and Tempest barely has time to blink before Shovearound 2 is on his case, let alone spin up the shell. He immediately finds himself slammed into the wall and picked up on the forks, tony evidently wanting to get this fight over and done with as soon as possible.
The shape of Tempest makes it hard for the forks to latch onto however, and Tony finds himself with a runaway Tempest, who is moving acorss the arena as fast as his 12mph will take him... which is round about 12mph He gets the shell partially spun up when Tony catches up with him and slam goes the forks into the bottom ring, not doing any damamge,but sending sparks showering and Shovearound spinning sideways. Frank runs away again towards the CPZ of Growler. Shovearound 2 chases him but once again impacts with a spinning shell, this time the impact sends him straight into Growler's CPZ. Clever manouvre from Frank.
Growler 2 immediately chomps Shovearound 2 up in his claws and Tony is looking extremely frustrated. The jaws aren't damaging him but every second spent in Growler's gob is a second where he could be trying to end a fight against extrememly dangerous opposition. Eventually Growler if forced to let go and tony is out like a shot, but he finds Tempest waiting for him who goes straight for the forks. There's a loud noise and a lot of sparks, and for the second time in this heat, Tempest has seriously buckled the main weapon on Shovearound 2.
Tony curses his luck and comes in again, but Tempest has wasted no time in getting up to speed and charges at him, forks facing forwards, possibly suggesting that he believes they are sacrifical. he comes in again, and this time doesn't get thrown backwards, as he digs in in forward gear, another impact later and the shell is stopped, but his main weapon is resembling a rather mangled beard trimmer as it stands. He doesn't seem to bothered though and turns round to show his back end to Tempest, slamming him into the wall with his rear wedge, and doing a better job of beaching Tempest on his side than he did before with his forks.
Tempest shows no signs that he's bothered by this thiough, as the second shovearound 2 backs off he falls back to the floor. Again, and again shovearound 2 slams him into the fence, not letting him go, sparks flying on each occasion as the titanium shell meets the angle grinders. If it wasn't for the shock proofing inside both machines it would seem a certainty that one or both robots would be limping their way back to the garage by now.
Both robots look in pretty good nick though, though Shovearound 2's weapon is in pieces. He backs off for another big charge at Tempest, but Tempest charges back, shell spinning slowly. As he meets the wedge he flies off it, toppling over and going like some demented spinning top around the arena. Tony sees this as his chance and charges after him, sliding the buckled forks underneath him. He tries to raise them but the actuator appears to be jammed.
This isn't a huge disaster though as Frank's not going anywhere, he tries to spin the hsell up, but the angle he's at means the teeth are just hitting the floor. He keeps trying though and in the end it pays off, as they haul him off the forks, albeit now inverted, marking the end of a good attack from Tony. Tony decides he has to bite the bullet and goes for the pit release button but is followed by a spinning Tempest who slams into the side panel buckling the hinges.
Tony is not about to let that put him off though and uses his back end once more to slam into Tempest, using his opponent to push the pit release button instead, which is ripped off by the blades of Tempest, and rolls into th epit it's just opened. Tony pins tempest against the wall, prveneting him from spinning up, and slowly but surely tries to edge away and push him towards the hole. spinning round he manages to catch Tempest with the edge of his back wedge but Frank isn't falling for it. He moves away but Tony's suprior speed comes to the rescue as he comes round the side and nudges him with the forks just as he passes the pit. The impact sends Tempest away and spinning full speed, he teeters on the edge of the pit, unable to move. Tony comes at him for one last time and nudges him in, smoke rises and cease is called like this...
CEASE
Tempest turned into just a comedy of errors. Shovearound 2 stood strong and the champ makes it into the last 16.
