Mega Robot vs Mega Swamp

Intro

Nothing good ever happens in the dark recesses of the Black Temple, or at least that is what the Lab believes.

For days, Doc Gibbons and the members of the Lab have deliberated over a sudden strike against the Path. Their aim is to retrieve the Element 115 that the Path plundered in South America.

The Lab believes the only blow that will truly defeat the Path is the destruction of their stronghold and the re-appropriation of their reserves of Element 115.

With that in mind, Mega Robot has been chosen as the Lab's agent of chaos to break open the defenses of the Black Temple.

The Black Temple glows acrid green, deep in the winding and obscure depths of an unrecognizable cave.

Mega Robot approaches with caution, unsure of what sort of battle he will fight tonight.

The Lab's War Council waits, on edge, unknowing of whether the carefully-planned equipment they gave to Mega Robot will prove up to the task.

Meanwhile, Mega Swamp drifts between focus and fatigue. As the Path's Megas have rotated between watch duty, nothing exciting has happened in a long, long while.

Mega Robot reaches the entrance of the Black Temple. It seems undefended, with a frail wrought-iron gate that could hardly hold up to a Mega with purpose. He reaches for the bars…

Mega Swamp snaps awake. Something is wrong. There's an unfamiliar sense of presence.

Mega Swamp leaves his watch-post and charges for the entrance, only to see the gate torn open.

Mega Robot and Mega Swamp behold each other.

Round 1

Mega Robot draws the Stun Ray, aims it at Mega Swamp, and pulls the trigger. A flat, wide jet of light streaks toward Mega Swamp.

Mega Swamp grimaces as the light slams into him. He takes minor damage, and is stunned! Can Mega Swamp recover?

Mega Swamp fails to shake off the attack! He is both damaged and stunned, and cannot implement his War Council's plan this turn.

Round 2

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

Each attack does some damage!

With a flick of the wrist, Mega Swamp sends the slimy tendrils of a Mop Dripping in Goblin Piss toward Mega Robot.

Mega Robot is struck for major damage and finds himself standing in a rancid puddle of urine.

Mega Robot short-circuits for additional, minor damage in the rancid puddle!

Oh, no! The fighting has shattered canisters of Mega Serum.

Round 3

Mega Robot collects some of the Serum in a handy bottle and can access a new action.

Mega Swamp crumbles a fragment from the Rare Ziotic Crystal over himself. The dust seeps in through his porous body, and his eyes glow with power and rage.

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

Round 4

Mega Robot drinks the handy bottle of serum, restoring some health and empowering his next attack.

Wildlife erupts from Mega Swamp, dousing Mega Robot in a sticky, smelly blend of frog-spat water, mushroom spores, stagnant water, and rotting fruit.

Mega Robot is struck for some damage, and struggles to reorient himself... his next attack may be slightly less effective.

Round 5

Mega Robot unleashes the power of the Serum he drank, empowering his primary attack!

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

Each attack does more than some damage!

Wildlife erupts from Mega Swamp, dousing Mega Robot in a sticky, smelly blend of frog-spat water, mushroom spores, stagnant water, and rotting fruit.

Mega Robot is struck for some damage, and struggles to reorient himself... his next attack may be slightly less effective.

Remember, Mega Swamp's luminous, Ziotic glare is still striking for minor damage each turn!

Round 6

The Lab has decided to use one FEMS capsule, recovering minor health. There is a chance for their next attack to be weaker.

Mega Robot holds Tobcat's Orb up in both hands and sends a current of energy through it, shouting an odd battle cry. The orb starts to glow and a concussive wave of dark energy pulses through the room.

Mega Robot focuses and shrugs off the negative side effects of the FEMS Capsule.

The dark energy from the Orb visibly concusses Mega Swamp, and does major damage! Will Mega Swamp shake it off before his attack?

Mega Swamp shakes off the stun! His attack will be slightly less effective, but he will still be able to implement his War Council's plan this turn.

Mega Swamp rolls around in the Serum.

He seems temporarily enraged by the overwhelming amount of Serum.

The Serum removes the weakness from his next attack, and empowers him!

The Path, wounded, is now deciding whether to use their FEMS capsule.

The Path has decided to use one FEMS capsule, recovering minor health.

The fighting is shaking the very foundations of the Black Temple. Walls crack, shards rain from the ceiling, and the battlefield is covered with fragments.

Round 7

Mega Robot darts in toward Mega Swamp and lunges with Jenkins' Sharpened Valet Key.

The Sharpened Valet Key cleaves through the glowing Fragment, still striking for more than some damage! Mega Swamp is on his last legs.

With no other attack for the serum to empower, the enhanced Mega Swamp sends an unusually extreme Ziotic laser glare at Mega Robot.

Mega Robot is down for the count! The vicious laser pushed him over the edge, and he cannot struggle to his feet.

Mega Swamp has prevailed, against the offensive odds of Mega Robot's momentum and tempo.
