April 1-Battle

The Lab vs The Path

Intro

Mega Gold and the Simian Path decided that a sudden sneak attack on the Lab was their only hope to emerge victorious from this Melee once and for all.

This battle would be different and more brutal than any prior ones; all 4 Path Megas would attack all 4 Lab Megas.

The Path's battle-ready quartet loaded up their equipment, which was not much to carry, given the less than stellar results of their Equipment Hack attempts. But without heavy loads on their backs, the Megas of the Path arrived to the lab with great speed.

Meanwhile, Doc and his fellow Megas in the Lab got word of this monstrosity of a plan. How had they heard about it? Definitely not espionage... at least, that's what they'd tell you.

Doc and his comrades used the little time they were given to think of a complex defense plan that took great advantage of the huge stash of items they received from all of their successful Equipment Hacks.

Any minute now, Doc expects one of the lab's walls to suddenly come crashing down, which is how Mega Gold made her last entrance into a battle here.

One by one, the Megas of the Lab notice that the front door is open. How could that have happened? Security is incredibly tight here at the lab.

In the stealthiest of entrances, Mega Gold had sprayed the doorway with her own Mega gold magma, which was super-heated enough to melt all of the locks keeping the lab sealed.

The Megas of the Path emerge from shadowy corners of the lab. Mega Gold herself, already warmed up, is first to fight. She and Mega Robot, the Lab's first pick, step into the center of the room and face each other.

Round 1

Mega Gold overheats, turning some of her gold plating to shining magma jets bursting toward Mega Robot.

It does major damage!

Mega Robot holds up the Flame of Silveranth, and the fire seems to grow, building and building. As the fire roars, Mega Robot steps into it and the flames wrap around him.

Mega Robot now radiates tongues of flame.

It does minor damage.

Round 2

Mega Gold overheats, turning some of her gold plating to shining magma jets bursting toward Mega Robot.

It does major damage!

The pumping bass of Doc's... questionable... '03 Spring Break mix fill the air, energizing Mega Robot. His primary attack is empowered and he is less likely to be stunned.

Round 3

Mega Robot's flames continue to buffet Mega Gold for minor damage.

Mega Gold winds up the Lo-fi hip-hop beats to study/relax to Mixtape.

It's pretty chill. Mega Gold is unlikely to be phased by anything, and is more than a bit tougher.

Mega Robot uses his exceptionally advanced agility to dart within Mega Gold's defenses, striking her twice.

It does majorly extreme damage!

Mega Robot's flames continue to buffet Mega Gold for minor damage.

Round 4

The Path uses two FEMS capsules, restoring some health. Mega Gold tries to shake off the side effects... and succeeds.

Mega Gold overheats, turning some of her gold plating to shining magma jets bursting toward Mega Robot.

It does major damage!

Mega Robot uses his exceptionally advanced agility to dart within Mega Gold's defenses, striking her twice.

It does extreme damage!

Even with the defense of the mixtape, Mega Gold is knocked out.

Mega Death Bot steps into the fray.

Round 5

The Lab uses four FEMS capsules, restoring major health. Mega Robot tries to shake off the side effects... and succeeds, still energized by the Party Mixtape.

Mega Death Bot crumbles a rough edge of the Rare Ziotic Crystal and consumes the dust. Mega Death Bot's eyes glimmer and come alight with dark power, as if a mere glare would send energy toward Mega Robot.

With every glare, a laser fires from his eyes toward Mega Robot. It does minor damage, and will continue each turn!

Mega Robot uses his exceptionally advanced agility to dart within Mega Death Bot's defenses, striking him twice.

It does majorly extreme damage!

Mega Robot's flames continue to buffet Mega Death Bot for minor damage.

Round 6

A missile bay opens on Mega Death Bot, sending a dozen precision guided rockets arcing at his opponent.

It does major damage!

Mega Death Bot's Ziotic laser eyes once again fire toward Mega Robot for minor damage.

Mega Robot is down for the count. Mega Radioactive steps in.

Round 7

Mega Death Bot lifts up a heat shield and attaches it to his chest.

Mega Radioactive evaluates the enemy, assessing how to replicate and improve their basic attack. Next turn, his primary attack will improve on Mega Death Bot's.

Mega Death Bot's Ziotic laser eyes once again fire toward Mega Radioactive.

It does minor damage.

Round 8

Mega Death Bot lifts up a colossal steal beam.

Mega Radioactive pulls out a cobbled together device... a miniaturized version of Death Bot's missiles, with greater precision. He fires.

The attack is partially mitigated by the heat shield, but the heat shield is heavily battered.

It does some damage.

Mega Death Bot's Ziotic laser eyes once again fire toward Mega Radioactive for minor damage.

Round 9

Mega Death Bot holds the colossal steel beam above his head and brings it down in a savage attack.

It does extreme damage!

Mega Radioactive shrugs on the Radioactive Labcoat, seemingly confident that the extreme defensive properties of the Labcoat against incoming attacks are preferable to the risks of wearing a garment covered in unstable, decaying Mega Serum.

Mega Radioactive absorbs the radiation and heals some damage.

Mega Death Bot's Ziotic laser eyes once again fire toward Mega Radioactive for minor damage.

Round 10

A missile bay opens on Mega Death Bot, sending a dozen precision guided rockets arcing at his opponent.

The surprisingly tough labcoat absorbs most of the damage, but it's looking threadbare...

The missiles do minor damage.

Mega Death Bot's Ziotic laser eyes once again fire toward Mega Radioactive for minor damage.

Mega Radioactive pulls out a cobbled together device... a miniaturized version of Death Bot's missiles, with greater precision. He fires.

The heat shield absorbs some damage, but breaks.

Mega Death Bot takes some damage.

Round 11

Mega Death Bot runs out of the fight to catch his breath.

Mega Zombie enters the fray.

The Lab uses four FEMS capsules, restoring major health. Mega Radioactive tries to shake off the side effects... and succeeds, focused by his trusty Labcoat.

Mega Radioactive seizes the momentum and tempo of the fight, laughing at Mega Zombie's lumbering slowness. The Lab will now attack first.

Round 12

Mega Radioactive licks the fluid from a Barrel Fragment. He seems enraged by the exposed, unstable liquid...

Mega Zombie activates the Eye of Ziot... Lab communications defenses seem to be going down temporarily...

Round 13

Lab communication security is restored.

A decision is being made by the Lab.

Mega Radioactive pulls out a cobbled together device... a miniaturized version of Death Bot's missiles, with greater precision. He fires.

It does major damage!

Mega Zombie lifts a strange hammer.

Round 14

Mega Radioactive pulls out a cobbled together device... a miniaturized version of Death Bot's missiles, with greater precision. He fires.

It does major damage!

Mega Radioactive is no longer enraged.

Mega Zombie hurls the hammer. A strange crunch is heard... and the labcoat absorbs part of a last blow before it falls in tatters to the ground.

Jenkins' Pocket Watch was destroyed!

Mega Radioactive takes some damage.
