**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._

**🚨ALERT🚨**

_All Mega Mutants, please cease combat. Due to company protocols and union regulations regarding time elapsed and damage inflicted, we are required to adjourn the battle for today. Please make time for some joyful rest and recovery, and prepare to resume attacks tomorrow. Thank you for your cooperation._
