Battle-bot

Fireworks began to burst in the night sky. When the old man's attention turned to the colorful spectacle, he first gazed upon it in admiration. His bushy brows furrowed and his forehead creased while he brought a hand up to the nape of his neck. "Ahh cripes..." He mumbled under his breathe before turning to what would have been the next challenger. "I'm really sorry, kid." His expression shifted to one of embarrassment and guilt.

"This bot here won't last after the festival ends." His gruff voice was full of disappointment. He slipped a broad, calloused hand into a pouch at his hip, walking over to Stryder and holding out a stack of fifteen coins for the player to take. "Here, s'the least I can do since you didn't get yer match." All the while, the Battle-Bot's mechanisms clicked and whirred while the sound of popping fireworks sounded in the sky.

With the last flurry of attacks, Battle-Bot's health bar dropped, stopping at a single point of health. His crimson eyes flashed before the lights disappeared completely, and the robot's form slumped over. After his defeat, Battle-Bot's health slowly began to regenerate.

"Hoo boy..." The old man tending to the booth ran a hand through his thinning hair, giving a scratch when he stopped at the back of his head. "The poor bot didn't stand a chance." After giving a pitying shake of his head towards the robot, he turned his attention back to Calrex and gave the player a wide grin. "Congratulations, young man! You've bested this humble mechanic and his bot. Get somethin' nice with these." He reached a hand out to give Calrex a firm handshake and placed a small stack of 5-token pieces in the bluenette's hand.

As he bid the player farewell, the old man turned to @Stryder, the raven-haired player that had been patiently waiting. "Alrighty, you're up, son! Battle-bot should be just about ready for 'ya now." The man placed his hands on his hips, looking over to the robot as its health had nearly finished replenishing.

The mechanical clicks and whirrs that continued to sound inside of the Battle-Bot's frame picked up in speed. His torso bobbed up and down in rhythm, waiting for @Calrexs next move. His bright yellow eyes, though unblinking and locked into place, scanned the player as he always was in order to determine the most logical course of action.

When Calrex rushed towards him, Battle-Bot took a single step back, looking hesitant to move to one side or the other. In the next second, Calrex's fists pumped through the air in a flurry, leaving the bot no additional time to react. Concluding that his only remaining option was to brace for impact, the robot held his ground.

The mechanical clicks housed by the Battle-Bot's metal frame had slowed to a crawl. A small moment of realization passed over them both just as Calrex looked ready to throw a finishing attack. With an opportunity before him, the bot raised his left arm straight into the air, fingers extended outward. With their close proximity, Battle-Bot needed only to drop his metal appendage from the sky to deliver a single chop to the top of the bluenette's head.

Battle-bot: HP: 4 (16 Dealt) / DMG: 10 / ACC: 3
Calrex: HP: 1630 (10 Dealt) / DMG: 8 / MIT: 0 / ACC: 4 / EVA: 1

Round 2 | ID#: 87120
BD: 3 + (3 ACC) - (1 EVA) = 5 - Miss!

Despite the Battle-bot's initial strike, the fight seemed to lean in favor of the player rather quickly. Attempting to guard against the bluenette's next attacks, the fighting robot tried in vain to predict the man's movements. His torso swiveled from the waist up, turning from side to side when @Calrex approached. Despite his attempts, Battle-bot took the brunt of the man's attacks while his HP bar steadily emptied as a result. Whirring and clicking noises escaped the bot's metal frame as he was left in the red zone, stumbling backwards from the last of Calrex's assault. "Critical error. Danger zone detected. Beep-boop." The bot rattled off as it recognized the little HP it had remaining. Taking a wider stance, Battle-bot rushed towards the player, taking an offensive approach as he tried to unleash his own barrage of punches at the man. As his metal arms extended one after another, none of his attacks could hit their mark. At his failure, a light cloud of steam appeared on either side of the bot's head, signaling his apparent frustration despite the lack of expression on his 'face'.

Battle-bot: HP: 4 (16 Dealt) / DMG: 10 / ACC: 3
Calrex: HP: 1635 (5 Dealt) / DMG: 8 / MIT: 0 / ACC: 4 / EVA: 1

Round 2 | ID#: 86985
BD: 2 + (3 ACC) - (1 EVA) = 4 - Miss!

Each of @Calrex's strikes were dead-on, either slipping through Battle-bot's guard or making solid contact with the bot's arms. The force from the onslaught caused the robot to reel backwards, looking as though he would nearly lose his balance. Attempting to use the momentum to throw his metal fists back at the man, the bot missed every mark, not even managing to land a single counter-attack. By the time Calrex disengaged from the skirmish, the health bar hovering in the air next to the robot had drained almost to its half-way mark.

Getting a moment to recover, Battle-bot leaned back forward to firmly plant the feet on both of his angled, cylindrical legs back flat on the ground.  He brought his guard up again, holding his matching metal arms still in front of his torso. The bot simply stood, red unblinking eyes watching the bluenette carefully as if he was now going on the defensive.

Battle-bot: HP: 12 (8 Dealt) / DMG: 10 / ACC: 3
Calrex: HP: 1635 (5 Dealt) / DMG: 8 / MIT: 0 / ACC: 4 / EVA: 1

Round 1 | ID#: 86976
BD: 5 + (3 ACC) - (1 EVA) = 7 - Hit!
(10) - (50% Unique Skill) = 5 DMG

Battle-bot's metal arms were held up in a guard in front of his frame, making small circles in the air while the robot bobbed up and down in place. His opponent had finished preparing himself, and so the bot initiated the fight. With impressive speed, his robotic legs carried him towards @Calrex, closing the gap between them and delivering an uppercut punch underneath the bluenette's chin. "Error. Beep-boop." The bot spoke, frozen in his combat stance. After a moment Battle-bot backed away, his arms still held up in a guard. Eyes changing from crimson to a bright blue in an instant, the bot would say, "Analysis Mode Engaged..." a short pause, "Analysis Complete. Unique Skill detected. Beep-boop." With that, Battle-bot's eyes shifted back to a piercing red and the robot began to bob up and down again as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, sorry 'bout that!" The old man called out from the sidelines. "His conversation could use some work. You can keep on goin'!" He reassured the blue-haired player with a wave of his hand. Placing his hands on his hips, the man noticed another boy was eagerly watching the fight. With a proud smile, he brought his arm back and gave @Stryder a solid pat on the back. "You next, buddy? Just go on in there as soon as they're done." He explained with a grin.

Battle-bot: HP: 20 / DMG: 10 / ACC: 3
Calrex: HP: 1635 (5 Dealt) / DMG: 8 / MIT: 0 / ACC: 4 / EVA: 1

The bluenette had walked up first in line as Battle-bot looked over to the line, many players were excited that they were not going to be the first person to try to fight the bot, however... the player had a few questions that Battle-bot had understood. Battle-bot had walked over to the player and pointed to the sign with the rules "The rules state that Consumables, Weapons, Sword Arts, and Familiar Mastery Fighter is banned. Anything else is free game. Beep-boop." the old man had looked over to @Calrex with a smile and said "Welp, you heard the Battle-bot." then he had taken a few steps back. Battle-bot's eyes switched from yellow to red as it stated out "Combat Mode Engaged, do you accept the challenge Player? Beep-boop" he tilted his head when stating as a portion of his chest opened for him to place his microphone inside.

Thus, the Festival had started, the old man running the booth as eager as he has been had removed the blanket that had been covering the machine to reveal Aincrad's newest in fun technology "Battle-bot" with people gathering around the bot to see its reveal, many were surprised to see a robot in red with a microphone in one hand... however it was turned off. The old man had silenced everyone so the reveal can be made... the suspense was building till the robots bright yellow eyes shined through the bots eyes as it looked to everyone. Battle-bot not wasting any time raised the microphone to wear his mouth would be if he was human and exclaimed "Beep Boop. Battle-bot 1.0 fired up and ready to serve. Who will be my next opponent?" he then looked towards the crowd. The old man then placed a sign in front of the circle that states "Line Starts Here."
