Chapter 2: Fight, red light.
"Max, I don't want to risk anything until I stabilise this. I think Teal should take the fights until Silver's ability doesn't override my controls. Midas judged her didn't he?"
"Yeah, Midas said she was okay, but he says that to everyone."
"I'm also thinking of renaming them. They haven't been in many fights yet so I think I should."
"Any ideas?"
"I'm thinking about it….I'll get them done along with some logos. Teal I think I'm going to change to Cobalt or Cerulean…. Silver Flare, I don't even remember why I named her that. Maybe I'll change it to Azure….or Indigo maybe because the majority of her colour is black and purple anyway…..just her light cables are Silver…..hmm….." Sapphire and Max began designing logo's for the upcoming fight, as the two female robots exited the room.
"Hey you two!"
"Did you hear about the name change?"
"Your owner was talking about it to Bailey yesterday"
"You cool with it?"
The Twins spoke in alternating speech and Silver chuckled. "Yeah, it's cool. Hey Atom, can I talk to you for a second?" Atom followed her into a different part of the robot lounge and was completely unprepared when she asked him whether Noisy Boy was okay. Atom always tried to cheer people up when they were upset, but he never knew it if Noisy Boy was. "He changed after that fight with Midas. It took more out of him than he will admit, and not because of the fight itself. If it was a fair fight, Noisy would've won hands down. Albino would bet on that."
They decided they would talk about it later. A few new techniques and methods were drilled into Teal as Sapphire and Max worked on the logos. Soon the new names were decided, designed and painted on and 'Cobalt' was walking into the stadium with Sapphire and her sister robot against fat boy. The fight was going to begin and her sister robot wished her luck and stepped out. Cobalt handed control of her body to Sapphire and Fat Boy did too.
He made the first move with a hard punch aiming for her chest cavity. She swerved a bit and the momentum carried him forward far enough that she grabbed his upper arm and used it as leverage to slam her fist hard into his stomach plating.
His eyes flashed and flickered, but he wasn't that weak. It was never that easy. Fat Boy used his additional weight to slam into Cobalt and she stumbled backwards. Balancing, she swung hard at his jaw and he was knocked a bit sideways. He didn't take long to retaliate with a hard punch to her neck and a slam downwards.
He pinned her against the edge wall with a fist and slammed his other one into her left shoulder. She heard several hard punches make contact with her stomach plating. Her eyes flickered but she felt her right arm swing and the side of her fist hit the side of his head throwing him off balance. He stumbled and she heard Max's cheers as Sapphire went for the end. She threw a hard fist at his chest and an uppercut at his jaw. The bolts loosened and she slammed both fists into the sides of his head. A loud clang resonated in the ring and she threw him way off balance. One more hard uppercut at the base of his jaw and it was all over.
Sure her shoulders were broken and the wires were hissing, her neck plating was half broken and her stomach plating was completely destroyed too, but she had one. "That was pretty close. She took some serious damage Saph", Cobalt heard Max say to Sapphire as she spun Cobalt around it a circle and a flourish as the audience went wild and bets were both lost and won.
"I'll fix it. Besides, this gave me the perfect idea for her", Sapphire replied to Max. The robots came over to her to congratulate her as they exited the arena with the beaming owners. Later that day, they were testing out her sister robot's new ability to see if it was stable and that she could use it. First, they isolated her in a glass chamber.
Sapphire fired up the new thrusters engines at the bottom of her robot's feet. She rose slowly but suddenly she swerved and fell sideways with a slight giggle. "Maybe she just needs a little support. Can one of you go in there for me and help her?" Midas looked pointedly at Noisy boy who avoided his gaze.
Zeus volunteered and they let him in. Sapphire turned off the jets so her robot could stand. "Now listen, put your hands on my shoulders and try to balance slowly. Do it right", Zeus told her evenly. She nodded and when the jets were turned back on, she held on to his shoulders with her eyes shut and tried to balance herself. It took a while but soon she had done it.
Outside she heard a laugh and an angry zap but she paid no heed. Her ability was finally stable! She opened her eyes as the jets were slowly turned off and she was back on the ground. Her eyes flashed in thanks at the black robot and he replied, "Anytime."
She went outside to find Noisy Boy's eyes flashing red, Midas snickering and Atom doing a facepalm. She had absolutely no idea what was going on.
