Chapter 33 - The Gutsy Knightmare!!
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first match of the first official round of The Wreckoning!"
The crowd cheered louder than they had ever before. "Talk about your hot crowd," Blues whispered quietly to Rock.
"From the north end of the field," Rock announced, "If robots had muscles, he'd be muscle-bound and muscle-brained, Guts Man!" The stocky black and red robot lumbered to the center of the field with heavy, thudding steps. "And on the south end, he's one evil medieval keneval, Knight Man!" The bulky blue-armored robot trudged onto the field with equally heavy steps as Guts Man to face his opponent.
Guts Man rubbed Ring Man's Ring Boomerang, still wrapped snugly around his wrist. "I still gots his bracelet," Guts Man snickered.
"I'll slay thee and take thy treause," Knight Man sneered back.
"You want my bracelet?" Guts Man snarled, "Come get it!"
With that, Guts Man wound back his arm and threw his fist at Knight Man's chest. Knight Man quickly lifted his shield in front of him, thnd his arms over his head, meshed his hands together, and sent his doubled-up fists smashing down upon Knight Man's sheild. Knight Man was knocked to the ground, leaving Guts Man to put his hands on his hips and roar with laughter. "That tickled," Guts Man laughed, rubbing his cheek.
"I'll be tickling thy innards yet," Knight Man hissed, picking himself back up. Before Guts Man could attack again, Knight Man quickly ran backwards, leaving a large gap between him and Guts Man. "Now we'll see who fares best in distance," Knight Man snickered, swinging around his mace ball again.
"Gimme yer best," Guts Man taunted, leaning forward and pointing to his giant chin.
"I shall oblige thee," Knight Man said, throwing his mace ball forwards again.
The Knight Chain bounced off of Guts Man's chin, and Guts Man could only chuckle as the Knight Chain kept pelting his chin, laughing at Knight Man's attacks. Just when Guts Man was expecting another Knight Chain to the chin, the assaults suddenly stopped. Guts Man focused his eyes again, only to find Knight Man nowhere in sight. "Where'd he go?" Guts Man muttered, looking around.
Guts Man looked over his shoulder just in time to see Knight Man behind him, swinging his mace ball. With a roar, Knight Man threw his arm forward, smashing the Knight Chain onto Guts Man's back. Guts Man yelped as Knight Man continued to flog his Knight Chain onto Guts Man's back, whipping him to his knees mercilessly. As Knight Man raised his arm to whip Guts Man again, Guts Man suddenly shot his arm up, catching Knight Man's mace ball by the chain. The Knight Chain wrapped tightly around Guts Man's wrist, and as soon as the mace ball stopped, Guts Man sprung back up to his feet, planting his shoulder into Knight Man's chest. Knight Man was knocked to the ground, only to have Guts Man hoist him back up the the Knight Chain, and drive his shoulder into his chest again. A third shoulder ramming was enough to leave Knight Man dizzy and woozy, giving Guts Man the time to reach up to the chain, and snap it apart from Knight Man's arm. As Knight Man staggered around in a haze, Guts Man admired his new bracelet. After deciding that the mace ball looked tacky, Guts Man snapped it off the chain like plucking fruit from a tree, looked at the recovering Knight Man, and said, "Watch this." With that, Guts Man crushed the spiked sphere into a ball in his hands, and with one swift motion, Guts Man popped the crushed ball in his mouth, and swallowed it whole.
Knight Man gagged, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Holiest of all feces," Knight Man muttered.
Guts Man paused to laugh. "Now whatcha' gonna' do?"
Knight Man breathed wearily. "I'll defeat thee yet," he muttered, retracting his broken chain into his arm and replacing it with his other hand. Holding his shield with both hands, Knight Man charged at Guts Man again. With all the power Knight Man could put behind himself, Knight Man threw his body into Guts Man's chest. Guts Man simply stood his ground, bouncing Knight Man off his body like a pebble. Before Knight Man hit the ground, Guts Man snatched up Knight Man's feet, flung him into the air over his head, and slammed him into the ground like a sledgehammer. Hoisting Knight Man up again, Guts Man swivelled around, smashing Knight Man face-first beside him. Holding by one leg, Guts Man swung Knight Man above his head like a lasso, and flung him into the arena walls. Knight Man's body made a chilling crushing sound as it demolished part of the wall, slowly taking down a quarter of the wall later.
Guts Man patted off his hands, laughing hysterically. "I won," he jeered.
"I don't think we can argue," Rock muttered.
"There's no way Knight Man's gonna' get back up," Blues muttered back. Roll only covered her mouth with shock, staring blankly at the rubble burying Knight Man. Knight Man's leg stuck out from the pile of debris, completely motionless.
Rock took the microphone. "And the winner of this match is-"
Suddenly, Knight Man's leg twitched. Then, with a low rumbling, the rubble shifted, and Knight Man sat up. The crowd gasped as Rock's jaw dropped. "He just sat up!" Rock gasped.
"Probably his systems going into shock," Blues muttered. "There's no way he's going to sta-"
Knight Man groaned wearily, and groggily picked himself back up to his feet. Trudging weakly out of the demolished wall, Knight Man stood and glared at Guts Man woozily, his vision beginning to distort. "Thou hast not won yet," Knight Man slurred.
Guts Man laughed, and pointed at his chin again. "Come and get it."
Knight Man rasied his shield, only to find that it had been broken apart. Throwing away his useless shield, Knight Man retracted his hand into his forearm, and let his broken Knight Chain spill out. "What's he doing?" Rock asked.
"I guess a weapon is still a weapon," Blues muttered.
Without another word, Knight Man charged at Guts Man again, with Guts Man waiting for another blow on his chin. Knight Man answered with a whipping of his Knight Chain to Guts Man's face, hardly even stunning the blocky robot. Again and again, Knight Man flogged Guts Man's head, each time only drawing a snicker from Guts Man. Swinging around his Knight Chain again, Knight Man waited until he could spin his chain no faster, and Guts Man lept his head held firm. "I'm waiting," he taunted.
Suddenly, Knight Man flung out his chain at Guts Man's left arm, the chain quickly wrapping around his elbow. And with a short leap into the air, Knight Man planted his feet into Guts Man's chest, pulling with all his might on Guts Man's ensnared arm. Guts Man waved his arm all about, but he could not manage to shake Knight Man off as Knight Man kept tugging relentlessly. Clenching his other fist, Guts Man began to throw punches into Knight Man's side, still failing to knock Knight Man off of his body. A sharp crack echoed through the air, and Guts Man suddenly wailed, dropping to his knee. Knight Man kept on pulling on Guts Man's shoulder, and with one sickening snap, Knight Man finally ripped Guts Man's arm clear out of its socket.
"Ewww!" Roll screamed, covering her eyes.
Guts Man whimpered quietly, slumping onto the ground and covering his empty shoulder joint. Knight Man wasted no time in taking the jagged end of his broken chain and jamming it into the insides of Guts Man's arm. Making sure the connection was taught, Knight Man waited for Guts Man to finally rise back to his knee before closing Guts Man's estranged fist. Swinging around his new bludgeoning weight, Knight Man threw his arm foward as soon as he and Guts Man made eye contact, pummeling him mercilessly with his own arm. "This has got to be the most barbaric thing I've ever seen," Blues muttered with disgust.
"Omigodomigodomigod..." Roll rambled under her breath, keeping her eyes clamped shut.
As Knight Man kept smashing Guts Man's arm into his face, Guts Man steadily rose onto both knees, holding his only other arm up in front of his head, trying to do whatever he could to shield himself from his own heavy arm. As much as Knight Man kept pummeling Guts Man, Guts Man steadily rose to both feet again, hunched over and keeping his arm up, bracing himself against Knight Man's vicious assault. Knight Man kept swinging and swinging, battering Guts Man's arm into his head again and again and again. After a minute of nothing but the same brutal assault, Knight Man felt his arm begin to tire. And with a fevered roar, Knight Man took the most vicious swing he could muster with his Knight Chain, bashing Guts Man's severed arm into his jaw. Knight Man let his arm go limp, completely exhausted and spent. Guts Man's arm fell from his face, glaring at Knight Man emptily. The two just stood there and glared at each other, not speaking, barely even moving. And with a final groan, Guts Man collapsed to his knees, and fell over flat on his back.
"Well, there's our winner," Rock muttered, "Knight Man."
