>>5276884Well… while it’s tempting to see where Sachie and Zarid went off to, this looks like it might require more of your attention. ‘Let’s keep things up like usual, Pantea. Observe the fight, see how we might face ‘em.’ you tell your partner telepathically. ‘Though let’s keep an eye on Mugen too. He’s up to something.’
‘Gotcha.’ she replies, eyes locked to the ring.
“Fighters ready? BEGIN!” Pilaf declares.
https://youtu.be/trLy09frpTs16 takes a defensive stance, Ledgic slowly circling him, looking for an opening. He found one, and dashed forward to exploit it, ducking down and sweeping 16’s legs. However, the Artificial Human wasn’t going down that easily, and while he let the hit connect, he also went for an elbow slam right into Ledgic’s head as he fell. The alien hit the floor hard, with 16 landing on top of him and pinning him down. Yet he wasn’t going to be out that easily, Ledgic lifting himself up after knocking 16 off and flying high, the chains on the cuffs of his sleeves extending out through Magic Materialization. 16 jumps to avoid them as they look to be flying down towards him, but he’s surprised as they actually dig into the floor. Ledgic then charges energy through the chains, electrifying the floor and forcing 16 to take to the air to avoid it.
Only that plays right into his trap, as Ledgic hits 16 in the chest with a fierce kick, knocking him downward. It’s only with the timely assist of Captain Chicken that the big bot isn’t fried by the floor, who jumps in and catches 16. And… he’s standing on the floor completely unscathed. Huh? Wait…
‘...He’s wearing rubber boots isn’t he.’ you comment to Pantea.
‘Not just any rubber, it’s an elastic insulator based on the stretchy material of PTO armors.’ Pantea notes. ‘It’s not perfect though, given how much power Ledgic is putting into the ring… which is also a surprise. The floor isn’t particularly conductive, so it must be a lot.’
You notice a slight bit of smoke start to steam off from Captain Chicken’s boots. However, he’s not letting up that easily. Holding 16 up at his shoulder, the Artificial Human balls himself up. “Haha, you haven’t won yet, alien! TAKE THIS! OUR FASTBALL SPECIAL!” The costumed fighter then launches 16 upward, and though Ledgic initially dodges the attack, 16 spins around in the air and fires off beams from his eyes! The alien is knocked down to the floor and briefly shocked by his own attack. Captain Chicken puffs his chest up and lets out a triumphant laugh… then quickly gets back out of combat before the alien’s able to get back up.
