The toons joined the spectators in the stands, while Buster was up in the left control booth, driving his robot into the arena from the gate below him.
"FROM ACME LOONIVERSITY, CHAOS 2!", said the announcer as the crowd, along with the toons, cheered. A grid appeared on-screen, showing the statistics on Chaos 2 as Jonathan spoke up.
"A two-wheeled driven polycarbonate & aluminium armoured machine with a powerful Co2 flipper that doubles as a srimech, a self-righting mechanism. However, Chaos 2 has a limited Co2 supply, so he must use his flipper wisely."
The next robot, a barrel-shaped robot with eyes & teeth painted on the front & a set of cutting pincers as a weapon, entered the arena.
"FROM PERFECTO PREP, DESTRUCTOSAUR!", said the announcer again as the toons booed. Destructosaur is driven by Tom the Echidna, who is a yellow echidna in blue overalls.
The grid appeared on-screen again as Jonathan spoke up.
"Another two-wheeled machine, Destructosaur is the heaviest of the two, weighing at 100 kilos, and also the fastest at 20 MPH. The barrel shape will allow Destructosaur to roll back onto his wheels if he gets flipped, so Chaos 2 might have to come up with a plan here."
"ROBOTEERS, STAND BY!"
"Let's have a look at the drivers up in the control pods, Buster Bunny on the left driving Chaos 2, and Tom the Echidna driving Destructosaur on the right. And in the arena for the House Robots we have Matilda, the Matriarch of Mayhem, and Dead Metal, ready to slice & dice."
"3...2...1...ACTIVATE!"
"And for the first time ever in Acme Acres", said Jonathan as Chaos 2 & Destructosaur drove off, "the battles have begun."
Chaos 2 drove to the other side of the arena & then past Destructosaur again, trying to avoid the front pincers of the barrel-shaped robot.
Chaos 2 then drove straight into the side of Destructosaur & flipped it over, but Destructosaur's body allowed it to roll back onto its wheels.
"Chaos 2 with a flip on Destructosaur, but Destructosaur is able to roll right-side up! I knew that would happen!"
Chaos 2 flipped its opponent a couple more times from the side, but both times Destructosaur was able to roll back onto its wheels.
The third time, however, Chaos 2 flipped its opponent into Dead Metal, who clamped its arms around Destructosaur & began slicing into the barrel-shaped robot.
"Chaos 2 flipped Destructosaur into the CPZ! Dead Metal's got a hold of the machine from Perfecto Prep, and he's slicing into the aluminuim armour of Destructosaur!"
While Dead Metal was cutting into Destructosaur, Chaos 2 went over & pressed the pit release button, before Dead Metal opened its arms & pushed Destructosaur forward, rolling the barrel-shaped robot right-side up again.
"Chaos 2 has opened the pit, Dead Metal righting Destructosaur. He seems bewildered, but not out of it yet."
Destructosaur drove forward into the flipper of Chaos 2. Buster fired the flipper, which tossed Destructosaur backwards & upside-down again, but this time, Destructosaur is not rolling back onto its wheels.
"Chaos 2 with another flip on Destructosaur, but we all know that he can roll back over- or can he? Destructosaur is not rolling back over! I think the machine from Perfecto Prep is in trouble here!"
Chaos 2 backed away as the Refbot approached the immobile Destructosaur & started counting it out, its timer counting up from 1 to 10.
"Refbot is now counting out Destructosaur! Oh, what a surprise, Chaos 2 has found the one design flaw of Destructosaur & used it against him. And Destructosaur...is...out!"
The Refbot buzzed 3 times at 8, 9, and 10, before flashing a red light from its left hand. Destructosaur is immobilized.
"CEASE!", said the announcer as the toons cheered with the crowd, knowing that Buster has won the fight.
"Well", Craig said as he appeared in the balcony, "what a way to start the competition. Destructosaur has gone belly-up. Chaos 2 goes through to the next round!"
The crowd cheered again as Buster waved to the crowd.
"Way to go, Buster!", Babs screamed as the toons celebrated.
As Buster rolled Chaos 2 into the pits, he was welcomed by the toons applauding as Babs went up & hugged the blue bunny.
"Good job, Buster", she said, "we're so proud of you."
"Eh, that was nothing", Buster replied.
Just then, Philippa showed up & squatted next to the blue bunny.
"Buster", she started, "congratulations on your victory. How do you feel?"
"I feel pretty good. Can't wait for the next fight."
"Have you taken any damage at all?"
"No damage whatsoever."
"Excellent, that's what I like to hear. Good luck in the next round."
"Thank you."
As Philippa walked away, Calamity & Cosette showed up with Firestorm on a cart.
"Make way, guys", Calamity said, "it's Cosette's turn to fight."
"It is? Already?", Furrball asked.
"Oui, I'm fighteeng Mega Morgue", Cosette replied.
"Well, good luck, couseen", Fifi said.
"Merci. I'll do my best."
As the toons went back to the arena to watch the next fight, Calamity turned to his girlfriend.
"How are you feeling, honey?"
"I feel tres nervous."
"You want me to join you in the booth?"
"Non, I'll be all right."
"Okay."
Calamity gave Cosette a kiss on her cheek.
"Good luck, honey."
"Merci, mon amore."
As Calamity walked away to join the rest of the toons in the stands, Cosette wheeled her robot to the entry gates.
Meanwhile, back at the arena, the camera switched to the side of the arena as the battle board appeared on-screen. Jonathan spoke up as "DESTRUCTOSAUR" is shown being crossed out.
"A good way to start this contest indeed, Destructosaur is out, Chaos 2 is through. Next up, it's Firestorm against The Mega Morgue."
