Summary: With one simple change in plan, Hiro Hamada finds himself in the Dragons Den, an Underground Bot Fight League, with a young man known as the Dragon Master as champion, and chief of the whole thing. The spark of interest will soon turn into a flame of rivalry between the two, as iron fists fist clash in the steel pit. Two alphas will compete, but only one will step out of the steel pit.
The streets of San Fransokyo where busy as ever, lights lit up the night air, music, perfume, and the smell of food cooking from the food carts rode the breeze as it blew through out the streets and buildings, people chatted, car motors hummed, and horns honked when drivers got reckless or just stupid. Tadashi and Hiro walked down stairs, and said goodbye to they're aunt as she chowed down a few more donuts, hopefully she wouldn't eat everything while they were gone. The two brothers got on the bike and road off, they're destination was the next bot fight, "So where is this bot fight?" the older brother asked keeping his eyes on the road, "In the Ōgon no Taiyō district, you'll know it when you see it," Hiro said excitingly. The older brother rolled his eyes, he should have taken Hiro to his lab when he had the chance, what was he thinking? Well it was too late now, he had drove too far away to turn back.
In a old lot across town, two young girls were leading the fight, one was a girl with wild fiery red hair, and the other was a shorted haired brunette with a streak of gold. The old lot had been a shop that burned down and was unused until the bot fights had started, the ground was covered in broken bot parts, patches of ice, and deep scratch marks. When the brothers arrived, the two girls had just demolished two more bots and were chatting about the fights, and how easy they were for Punzie's Triple Mode "Pascal" Chameleon Bot and Merida's Mor'du the Demon Bear Bot, "Alright, who next to challenge this unbeatable tag team?," the wild haired redhead asked the crowd.
Hiro pushed his way through holding his Megabot, "I'm up next," he told the two and they smiled at each other, and the crowd laughed, they always did. A girl with snowy blond hair woven into a braid stepped forward with a painted bowl filled with money, an icy blue stared into chocolate brown "Feelin lucky are we?" she asked with a smile, and the younger Hamada blushed a little and nodded, "Well then, pay up, and we'll get started," Hiro put his money in the bowl and sat down at the edge of the ring. The two girls switch the auto-pilot off, and put they're bots on fight mode.
The chameleon and bear bots got into position as Megabot was set down, the crowd counted down, and a girl with strawberry blond hair with a snow blond streak rang the small gong as they hit one, and the fight began, Pascal's tail whipped at the bots foot and threw it into the air, and Mor'du knocked it to the ground, the three sections dividing upon impact on the ground. Hiro always threw the first match, it was the easiest way to see what the bots could do, the work of the demon bear was good, but its fatal flaw was the joints that peaked out from under its bulky armor, and because of the thick armor, the joints were more likely to be strained if they didn't have strong enough bolts to support, and with Pascal's whip like tail, the bot was as good as scrap.
Hiro noticed that the two were collecting they're winning and he shouted over the laughing, "Hey this fights not over yet!" the snow blond smiled, "Fights over kid, let it go," she said with a laugh, Hiro grinned, "Not yet it's not," and before the two girls could get ready, the little bot put itself back together and attacked Mor'du and Pascal, its fast and often snake like movements threw the two girls through a loop, an Merida was getting pissed, at least snake bots could be torn apart, but this bot could divide into 3, and division bots were rare, they were hard to control, and even harder to fight with. As the fight went on Punzie forgot to watch out for Mor'du, and was having a hard enough time with watching for the magnetic bot, all three parts could attack, and even with Pascal's whip, it was hard to keep it together. Hiro smiled, and Megabot got back together and attacked Mor'du all together, and with the bot finally still enough, Punzie had Pascal whip at him, but Hiro was faster and Megabot got out of the way as the whip snapped at an exposed joint. With the impact of the whip, and the straining Megabot caused, the bears arm came off, and with a little magnetic charge to attach it, Megabot used it to attack the bear, its sharp claws being the only thing hard enough to rip and tare through Mor'du's armor, it's craws took off the head with ease, taring off the signal receiver, and before Punzie could react, Pascal was the next to loose his head as the disconnected arms claws were used to cut his neck in two, and sparks flew everywhere from the loosing bots, and they shut down not long after.
Everyone went quiet, this was defiantly a first, the tag team had lost the fight. "Wha-How-?!" Merida didn't know what to say, and Punzie's mouth just hung open. Hiro just smiled, Game set an Match," he said with a cocky tone. "Not yet," The snow blond said as she was followed by a purple and teal bot, "If you wanna walk away with your winnings, you gotta beat me," she told him putting her hands on her hips, "Alright, I'll fight your 'Barbie Bot'," the younger Hamada said, and Tadashi light slapped his face, there was a 50 50 chance they'd get the crap beaten out of them if Hiro didnt keep his big mouth shut, "Oh god..." he groaned.
"Don't be so sure, because I'm going to let the storm rage on..." The queen bot leaped into the ring, and with a frozen black of water, liquid nitrogen, and a long blast of air, the ring was covered in a layer of ice. The crowd shivered from the black, and Elsa chuckled, "Heh... the cold never bothered me anyways..." The strawberry blond giggled and banged the gong.
The fight started, an it wasn't going to be as easy though with the ice feild, at least he hoped not, bot fighting was getting so easy, it almost felt like being forced to sit is a boring class again, the moment the two were activated, Hiro had his bot attack, but Snow Queen was too fast for Megabot, the doll like bot zipped around the ring, like a pro ice skater, an Megabot was following close behind, its limbs spinning at a high velocity, which luckily created enough traction for it to move. The bot tried multiple times to attach itself to the snow queen, but she was too fast. Suddenly the girly bot stopped on a dime, an as it whipped around, the ice pick like legs stabbed at the megabot aiming for the head, which seemed to be where the main server was. With each stab the ice would crack more and it made the others moments hard, but as the pick pierced the ice, just missing the magnatic bot, the smaller bot attached itself to the boll like bot, its upper limbs attacking it hard. Elsa tried to get snow queens to throw it off, but to no avade, and with a tight twist of its magnetic coils, the Coronation Snow Queen Bot was snapped in half like a twig. The bot bowed, and took it's leave.
"Well, thats that I suppose," the boy said collecting his winnings, Tadashi rolled his eyes at Hiro, "C'mon Hiro, before you start something like last time," "Yea yea," he just laughed and the two brothers walked away. Hiro was bragging to Tadashi as they took they're leave, the girls had already demolished the other bots, so Hiro had no reason to stay, "Man that was too easy!" the small teen said counting his winnings, "I mean, seriously, it's almost no fun," "Well," The young man chimed in, "If you want a real challenge, there's a bigger fight going down not too long from now," he told the teen, "Really, the website said this was one of the best," Hiro said in disbelief, crossing his arms
"Outside of town, at the Berk Scrap yard, you want a challenge, you'll find it there, they don't call it The Dragons Den for nothing," he told the boy, and when he saw the excited look on the kids face, he knew he had him, hook line and sinker,"I mean, if it wasn't, why would they call the boss The Dragon master?"
"Dragon master..? An why's he called that..?" Tadashi asked a little skeptical and worried, "Because, his bot is a pyro and spead class bot," and that did it, "Tadashi, you gotta take me!"
"No way hero, it could be dangerous," the older brother said getting his helmet before tossing the other to hero, he was going to take him to his school, hopefully that would change his mind, "C'mon Tadashi! Its A Ring Built For Bot Fights! And Theres A Pyro Class! You Have To!" Hiro begged tugging on his arm, but his brother gave him a stern look, and Hiro pouted, "I'm going whether you take me or not..." Tadashi groaned and rubbed his face, considering the earlier events, there was no way that was happening, "Alright, get on Knucklehead," the older brother groaned unlocking his bike and starting it up, "Yes!" Hiro hopped on behind his brother, Flynn gave them the directions, and as they road off, the young man dialed someone, this was his job, if a fighter was good enough, he'd send him straight to the UBFL, other wise known as the dragons den.
[Rider! What's up?] the voice on the other end greeted happy past the noise from the events taking place in the background, "Onceler, I'm sending a new fighter your way," Flynn said as his watched to two brothers ride away, [They any good?] "Yeah, he beat Punz an Merida like they were newbies, and took out Elsa's Snow Queen in a snap, this kids good" [Whoa, seriously, whats the kids name?] "Hiro Hamada."
Far outside of town, almost in the middle of no where was an old scrap yard, which was full of old metal. Some were broken car parts, boats parts, and old broken down cars, some unused scraps of metal, and chains from contraction sights, all of which had been left there to rust or be melted down, in the middle of it all was a work shop, and an huge garage with a glass roof. It was usually quiet at night, but on this particular night, a roar of cheering echoed through the air. In the garage was a ring, it had metal arches with chains netted over it, and inside a battle was going on. The garage was was filled with cheering teens and young adults, as well as a few gradeschoolers, all there to watch the fight go on.
The place had been prepped up by the owner, there were snack machines, and soda machines, which were used by the workers during the day, but a few times a month used by the bot fight viewers, and by the time the Hamada brothers got there, the fight was minutes away from starting, but as Hiro raced to go watch, he was stopped by an metal pipe being shoved in his way, blocking the open door. "hey, what the-?" the young teen turned to see a tall young man leaned against the door, he wall as thin as a pencil, and probably taller the Tadashi, "What gives?" Hiro asked, the taller teen gave him a smug grin, "Fighter, or viewer?" he asked the younger boy tilting down his blue shades, relieving his pale blue eyes.
"Fighter," Hiro answered as Tadashi walked up behind him, he was a little uneasy about this place, especially now that a stranger was holding a pipe near him. "2000 yen,"(20$) the other teen said pushing his shade back up on his button nose. "Wha-?" "2000 yen to get in as a fighter or viewer, 1000 per person, 2000 for the two of you," he told him as he put all his weight on the pipe, "I'll put your name on the board, and announce when you'll be up next, till then, "the teen held out his hand, "Payup," Hiro was really starting to dislike this guy, but he took 2000 yen out of his stack of money, and handed it to the taller guy. "Name?"
"Hiro Hamada," the small teen had a stern look on his face, but he wasn't very intimidating, "Well Hiro, welcome to the Underground Bot Fighting League," he grinned at the boys name and stepped aside, and as they walked past him, he texted his friend, and then closed the door behind him. Onceler was in charge of handling the money, as well as signing up, and organizing the fights, he was a business man as well as the leagues accountant, and the leader of it all trusted him to get it done. The tall teen walked over to the board and wrote Hiro's name, before taking the microphone to make the announcement, "Alright! Its Time To Bot Fight!" he announced as his voice boomed over the speakers, "The Next Battle is a good one between two awesome fighters!" The crowd cheered happily,"In The First Corner Astrid Hofferson with her Bird Bot Of Prey," a girl with pale blond hair walked into view with a blue and yellow bird like bot perched on her shoulder, and as she walked to the ring, the crowd cheered her name.
" An In The Next Corner The The Reigning Champion Hiccup Haddock with The Night Fury!" Each person cheered louder as young man with brownish red hair walking into view, atfist it looked like he had a cat on his shoulder, but it looked more like a dragon, the gates to the ring opened, and the two bots were put on fight mode, and as the two bots entered the ring, with they're owners on the outside, for safety reasons, Kristoff banged the gong hard signaling the fighters to start, and the gates slammed shut.
Toothless was the first to attack, and the black dragon shot out a blaze of blue fire, but Stormfly was faster, the magnetic hover panels built into its wings glowed and the bird bot leaped int the air like a bullet shot from a gun. Hiro sat on the bench with the other fighters and Tadashi was right behind him, it was getting him so pumped up, and the fight had just started. Very few bots could actually fly, even fewer had a pyrotechnic feature. Hiro could feel his blood pumping as he watched the battle, he had to fight, he had to see what this, what all the bots could do, it was too good to pass up, he had to fight these bots, he had to win.
As the battle raged on, with the hawk like attacks from the bird of prey, and the cat and dragon like attacks from the black bot, the crowd cheered louder and louder, they were all getting into this fight, the quick movements, and power in the attacks where like nothing the young Hamada had ever seen in any of his fights, this was were he needed to be.
The battle went on for what seemed like minutes, and as the two bots were nearing the end of they're limits, Stormfly flew as high as the cage around the ring would let her, and she dived down to deliver the final blow, and The night fury opened its mouth and shot out the last of its fire, the gasoline tank ran empty soon after, and as the bird of prey flew to the point it was only inches away, the black bot slammed its jaws down on its neck which had been weakened by the flames, and the fight ended with a loud roar of cheering from the crowd.
Three more fights came after that, and as luck would have it, Hiro wasn't scheduled to fight till after three other fights, much to his displeasure, but he hardly had time to pout about it, with each fight, he just couldn't seem to sit still, his blood was boiling as the Monstrous Nightmare and The Two Headed zipple back bots went at it, and the winner would be going against Jack Frost and his Below Zero Bunny. Although that wasn't much of a fight, since The Monstrous nightmare was frozen solid in a matter of minutes, after Jack toyed with him for a little bit. While the bunny bot fought a young girl with long brown hair cheered louder then anyone else in the crowd, she defiantly had a lot of energy, the young brunette was bouncing in place and cheering her heart out happily as the bunny bot took out the monstrous nightmare by slamming it hard against one of the rings bars.
The large man knock as Kristoff hit the gong hard signalling the ending of the match. Onceler, who had been reporting everything that had gone on in the ring then read the next line up, "Alright Bot Fight Fanatics! Next Up We Have A New Comer!" Hiro got up from his seat and walked over to the ring, "Give A Warm Welcome To Hiro Hamada And Mega Bot!" Everyone cheered as the young teen walked to his corner of the ring, it was rare that any fresh blood came to the league, "And Returning For Another Fun Time In The Snow! Its Jack Frost And Below Zero Bunny!" The cheering got all the more louder as Jack walked up to the ring with his bunny bot hopping along next to him.
The gates were opened and both bots entered, and the fighters paid they're dues. The gong was rung, and the fight began, both bots entered, but only one would leave, the gates slammed shut, and the bots were trapped inside.
