Ace in the Box

[Inside Ace's garage…]

"Alright, team, it's time to get to the arena for Bot Brawls," said Ace.

"This'll be awesome," said Teddy.

"Win or lose, we're in this together," said Lancer. [At the competition…]

"Hello Bot Brawl fans it's the championship here on Bot Brawls and our two contestants are here in the arena," said Michael. Our first opponent in the maroon square has a nasty cutting blade and rear wedge. Builder Ace says his robot is named Devourer. In the Purple square sits their opponent, a flipper and its builder Greg Francine.

"The robots are ready to go," said Mark. Winner is champion Bot Brawler. We have our two Robo-Thrashers Push and Lieutenant Ram in the arena corners.

"The championship bout is now underway as we see Chaos Squared tossing Devourer over but Devourer with the quick self-right back over," said Michael. Devourer coming back and delivering Chaos Squared to the Buzz Saws.

"Here comes Double Chaos with another flip but misses!" said Mark. They were lucky to remain upright as to not waste any CO2 gas.

"Devourer now using the saw to cut into Double Chaos but the saw falls off!" said Michael. Now they'll have to rely on their skills at driving backwards. Chaos squared with another flip!

"Devourer now going for the back wedge and delivering Double Chaos into one our RTs and its Push, who is no push-over when it comes to facing off," said Mark. Oh no, Chaos Squared's CO2 tank has been punctured! Hope that's not the end for our semi-finalist.

"Uh-oh, Devourer flipped by our own Thrusters on the arena floor!" said Michael. Now Devourer is on his side and Chaos Squared is bringing it to the Micro Buzzers but somehow Devourer has escaped!

"Chaos Squared has to be careful, he probably could've won the brawl right there, Michael," said Mark. I guess he wanted to be a good sport and help a down robot out.

"This braw is winding down to the last minute and a half but neither robot giving in," said Michael. This should be a close bout to judge if it comes down to a decision.

"Despite having little or no weaponry, both competitors are showing some amazing aggression in this brawl," said Mark.

"30 seconds left and now both robots are showing some slowing down," said Michael. This could count against one or both of them in the decision.

"Oh no, our battery died," said Ace.

"That looks to be it for Devourer," said Mark. He's no longer moving but this bout is just about over so it'll be up to the judges to decide.

"Our championship bout has ended and the fate of who is our champion is upon our 3 judges now," said Michael. In a few moments, we'll have our Bot Brawls champion.

"Well we now have the decision and it was a close one," said Mark. The judges have decided that Chaos Squared is our new champion. We also congratulate Devourer for taking second place in this Bot Brawls event.

"Aw we lost," said Lancer.

"It doesn't matter," said Ace. We got second place and this is our first time at this competition. We just lost to a much better driver. Let's go home. [At home…]

"Whew what a day," said Lancer. I'm pretty beat from this competition. We should do it again next year.

"We could build a better robot," said Teddy.

"One that will definitely win," said Ace. We'd better rest up because we have school tomorrow.

"Okay, see you later," said Teddy and Lancer. [The next day…]

"Alright, class, I'm handing out a project due next week and I want you all to make a little environment in a shoe box. I am now passing out instructions for how to do it. You have the rest of the class to pick a partner and discuss what you and your partner will do for this project. [After school…]

"So, how'd your silly competition go?" asked Melody.

"We made second place," said Ace.

"That's truly amazing, Ace," said Sweetheart.

"Yeah, Ace, that's incredible," said Bright Eyes.

"Well I guess that is pretty good," said Melody.

"Was the robot damaged in any way?" asked Starlight.

"Yeah both ours and our opponent's robots took a beating but ours stopped moving," said Ace. We were lucky to survive the bout but I know that with a better robot, we'll go all the way to the top!
