    Mechanical Maelstrom: Devastation

    It was dark in the Annihilation Stadium. The arena had been cleared after the second round of the 1st annihilator of Mechanical Maelstrom: Annihilation, and all the bots were in the pits. The audience had left for the break and the studio lights were off, hence the darkness. Suspended above the arena in a lexan box hung the presenter€™s booth, and inside the Annihilation Trophy. In the excitement of Wedga Triton€™s defeat nobody noticed a dark figure slip into the control room and take the trophy from its place, and the intruder left undetected. However, minutes later the theft was realised and the tracker€™s trace was found - a trail of footsteps leading out of the Stadium and into the wilds of the Robot World. 4-6 courageous roboteers and the robots that they can conveniently transform into when they need to fight were sent after the thief and recover the trophy before Annihilation ends, which with Lewis€™ current writing rate is quite probable. Will the warriors find the thief by following his footprints and asking anyone they may come across if he has been spotted? And what will they find when they catch him?
    The Robot World is split into 4 continents - Robot-War, Battlebot, Robotica and Mechanical Maelstrom (the latter being where the quest begins). The thief could have made it a reasonable distance away by now, and he must be caught quickly. Are you up to the challenge?

    Re: Mechanical Maelstrom: Devastation

    I'll enter...

    Name: Mark Elam
    Hair Colour: Brown
    Eye Colour: Blue
    Height: About 5'7. Pretty tall for a 13-year old.
    Clothes: A US 1950s military jumpsuit. Underneath that is a pair of black sweat pants and a black long-sleeved shirt. Wears rather worn shoes, an AK-47 over his shoulder, and a cartridge belt with 10 cartridges of 30 rounds each around his waist. The AK's own drum cartridge contains 120 rounds, I only have one though.
    Personality: Enjoys war, robot combat, and military tactics. If a battle must be fought, then he knows the tactics to win it.

    My robot alias will be Bandwagon 3. My stats are on my website. Hope that'll do.

                      Re: Mechanical Maelstrom: Devastation

                      Chapter One ~ Mechanical Maelstrom City

                      Lewis gathered his team of 6 expert warriors outside of the Annihilation Stadium to speak with them one final time before they embarked upon their quest.
                      €œNo one from here as ever entered the wilds of the robot world before, you understand?€ Lewis asked them
                      They all nodded €œThe danger doesn€™t frighten me€ said Jack
                      €œYes€ agreed Mark €œI will do whatever it takes to retrieve the trophy!€
                      €œThen go on your quest€ said Lewis €œI wish you the best of luck, and don€™t worry that your robots are on this quest while competing in Annihilation, the fanfic world is a strange one!€
                      €œIndeed€ agreed Joey €œThough I am quite bamboozled to how I am suddenly able to both transform into Nidhogg Cubed and yet drive him myself simultaneously...€
                      €œYes yes whatever€ said Lewis €œGet after that thief, we don€™t have all day you know!€
                      And with that he vanished in a puff of smoke.
                      €œThat was odd€ remarked Joey
                      €œWell you heard him!€ barked Mark €œWe€™ve got a thief to catch, let€™s get going!€
                      And so our heroes turned their backs on the Annihilation Stadium and walked down the crowded streets of Mechanical Maelstrom city, encountering on their way Martijn Benschop in the form of Sheer Heart Attack 2, showing off for his many fans. This city was familiar to them, and they knew that no harm would come to them while they stayed here, but it was clear the thief had left the city as the trail of petrol left by the thief led them through the city slums, where robots like Sumpthing and A-Kill lived and through the city gates, into the wilds of Mechanical Maelstrom country. However, the guards at the city gates were not too keen to let them pass.
                      The gates were tall and wide, made out of tough tungsten carbide bars that would prevent them making it through, and either side of the gates stood Jason Dante Bardis and Mark Joerger on one side, Mike Flanagan and Mike Regan on the other.
                      €œExcuse me gentlemen€ said Jordan €œWould you be kind enough to open the gates for us?€
                      €œWe cannot€ said Mark Joerger €œThe wilds of the forest beyond these gates are terrifying and awfully dangerous; you don€™t stand a hope of surviving€
                      €œWell the thief we are following travelled through here€ said Tracy quietly €œYou must have let him pass€
                      €œNo thief passed through these gates€ said Mike Flanagan, tooting a bicycle horn loudly and making Joe jump €œThe guards who did the morning watch would have stopped anyone€
                      €œWell explain the trail of oil!€ said Kody
                      €œYou are not in any position to make demands€ said Jason Dante Bardis, normally a friendly guy €œYou do not want us as your enemies, we are all from the ferocious country of Battlebot!€
                      €œOh please€ drawled Kody, rolling his eyes sarcastically €œDr. Inferno Jr is a lightweight, you don€™t stand a chance against us!€
                      €œOh yeah?€ smirked Jason €œIf you want to fight, bring it on, but I really suggest you don€™t€

                      Encounter!
                      1) Jason Dante Bardis/Towering Inferno
                      2) Mark Joerger/Run Away
                      3) Mike Flanagan/Conquering Clown
                      4) Mike Regan/Brute

                      Do you fight these four guards, possibly making yourself known criminals if you do, or try to find another way out of the city?

                        Re: Mechanical Maelstrom: Devastation

                        I show them my Subway card briefly and claim to be a Mechanical Maelstrom City Council petrol trail inspector, and demand in the name of the King to be allowed out?

                        ...

                        I'm in favour of finding another way out, I don't want to run low on petrol before the real battles start :P

                          I say don't fight, chances are it will only make things more difficult later on (more people to fight.)

                            And I don't believe you gentlemen have met my AK... *Points AK at 4 guards*

                            In all seriousness, try, since I'm an American, to get them to let us pass. If that doesn't work, then try to find another way out of the city. There has to be another way, although if it came to fighting, then we could easily beat them...
