The stadium was in an uproar as the clash of metal resounded throughout the stadium. The bobbling excitement on their faces showed how happy they were as they were witnessing such an exciting match between an underdog and a top robot.
Meanwhile, the team from the Hideous Monster was not in any way having a pleasant moment as their faces were unsightly. The middle-aged man that was controlling the Hideous Monster had a bead of sweat on his forehead with uneven breathing.
Since the start of his career as a robot fighter, this was the first time he was put in such a difficult situation. His hand dances back and forth on the controller joystick, looking for a way to turn the situation around. Moreover, the expression of the owner of the Hideous Monster was not looking any good.
Subsequently, he would wipe off the bead of sweat with the back of his palm. He had taken a huge bet with one of his competitors and if he were to lose this match. He's done for. Thus, he was the most scared person inside the stadium.
'This should be an easy match…..'
'Where the hell did this stupid kid come from…..' He gnashed his teeth as he looked at the countdown clock hanging in the sky.
'If we can survive the last one minute of the first round…. I'll tell them to use more brutal tactics.'
Bang!
A powerful uppercut landed on Hideous Monster, making it retreat a couple of steps with its head shaking vehemently.
'Huh!'
The audience sucked a cold breath with their jaw on the ground. No one could have predicted the direction of the fights. Now, with the look of things, Hideous Monster would not survive the first round of the battle.
And all this was coming from the weakest robot in Nightshade town – Free Points.
"I think Hideous Monster is in serious trouble right now…. The Free Points team means business…. going for the win." Judge said with a trembling excited voice.
"Liz do you see this coming"
"No. No. This is an unprecedented match since the creation of Golem Pit. Besides, since I started my career as a Robot Boxing commentator, this was the first time I'm witnessing such a change… and….and… such an exciting match."Liz responded with a wide smile spreading throughout her face.
Hearing the positive comment from the commentator and the continuous chant of their names. Isadora and the others had an elated smiles on their faces. They puff out their chest, looking at the audience with pride, saying, that was our robot.
Meanwhile, Pablo was not having the best time either. Only he knew Free Points robot was its last juice and if the match was not ended on time. It won't have the power to continue the match.
'I need to find its weak point and make use of it.'
With that thought, Pablo took his eyes off the controller and studied Hideous Monster's movement and rhymes for a couple of moments. 'Such a weak robot will have so many weak spots….' He mused as his eyes darted from one part of the Hideous Monster robot to another.
'Yes… I got you.'
'Its navel and left leg. It twitches every time it is trying to move'
With that discovery, a radiant smile appeared on his face while the look he used to look at the Hideous Monster was a look of a defeated robot.
"Closer the distance." He commanded moving the joystick to close the little distance between Free Points and Hideous Monster.
"2 by 2 lower jab"
Bang!
Two continuous lower powerful jabs rammed into the lower navel area of the Hideous Monster, halting its movement. Noticing this, a wild expression appeared on Pablo's face, saying, 'I got you.'
Subsequently, the expression of the Hideous Monster owner turned into an ugly look. Fear appeared on his face and he couldn't control his trembling. 'Not this place. No…. No….' He screamed in his heart.
Bang! Bang!
Free Points was ruthless in its attack as punch after punch rained toward the navel area while Hideous Monster was twitching vehemently. The middle-aged man controlling it was shocked but with his years of experience. He tried to move Hideous Monster out of the dangerous territory.
But would Free Points let him go?
"Don't let him go?" Pablo shouted with a victorious smile on his face.
At once, Free Points lash at Hideous Monster and continue to rain punch after punch on it. With this, the Hideous Monster began to have a system failure and failed to respond to commands any longer.
'Time to finish this.' Pablo thought with a wild grin.
Unknown to him, he had already forgotten about his sorrowful past and was enjoying this moment to the fullest with a lot of smiles on his face. Thus, if anyone from the city saw the radiant smile on his face. They would be stupefied.
"Deadly Thunder Cut"
Receiving the command, a slight humming sound came from Free Points as the power in its battery was allocated toward its right punch. He leaned forward and attacked with a deadly punch.
Whoosh!
Like a poetic prospect, the punch moved in slow motion, leaving a trail of smoke behind. Everyone in the stadium held their breath as they followed the trajectory of the punch and their heart was racing.
Bang!
The Deadly Thunder Cut slammed into the head of the Hideous Monster and behold, something flew out of the ring. Behold, it was the head of the Hideous Monster.
'Holy Moly!'
The stadium was in perfect silence as everyone was trying to process what just happened. Even those in the Free Points team never knew their robot could perform such a move. Thus, leaving their mouth agape.
'How could this be? How?' The owner of the Hideous Monster was flabbergasted with panic. He stared at his headless robot not knowing what to do.
"Free Points wins" The referee came back from his shock and screamed to the mic.
Immediately, the audience was on their feet as they screamed and clapped continuously while the shock on their faces was like never before. No one expected the Free Points to reach the second round not to talk of the final but now, here they are.
The reigning champion for the last five years vs the weakest team from the past five years.
