It's the Greatest Show on Earth!
The van that turned down the street in front of the Champion's home looked like any other brown delivery truck. Black and gold letters painting it's side and a man in a uniform consisting of a hat, button-up shirt and shorts the same drab color of his van looking as bored as one could with his job. The van stopped just short of the former night club's entrance. The delivery driver turned around in his seat and rummaged around for the small package he had for the inhabitants.

Hopping out of his van, 10x10 box tucked under his arm, he headed to the door and rapped on it three times. Not waiting for an answer - there was no signature confirmation requested - he set it on the top step and went back to his van, signed off on his clipboard and started the vehicle up.

By the time the door to the old club opened, he was already driving away to carry on with the rest of his deliveries.

The brown cardboard box, ten inches by exactly ten inches was addressed to The Most Worthy 'Champion' and weighed perhaps three pounds at the most. There was no return address.

Eliza was left in the middle of a stage. A circular arena with seats on all sides and a cheering crowd of faceless robots sitting completely still as the lights on their chests flashed in time to the cheering. They were the only lights in the room, strobing in the darkness.

Another person entered the arena, waving to the crowd and blowing a bubble with her bubble gum. She flexed her hands and glowing balls of light appeared. With a grin to Eliza, she tossed them, "Catch!"

	She gets up quickly when the lights and crowd stir her from being knocked out. She got up on her feet pretty quickly and turned around a few times,. This was so weird. Then it got even stranger. A new person got her attention when they got onto the stage. Eliza's eyes grow wide under the mask and she started leaping and tumbling out of the way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Eliza jumped to avoid the glowing spheres and the move proved to be a smart one as they exploded when they landed. The flashing lights of the 'crowd' increased with the sound of their cheers. Whoever was controlling the bots clearly enjoying the start of the show.

The girl clapped and popped another bubble, "Name's Boom Boom. Now you know why." More spheres appeared and she began juggling them. "But you're gonna die before you have the time to wear it out."

A giant ball of blue, fluffy fur fell from the darkness that was the ceiling, straight for Eliza, "And I, my beautious, bubbling, blossom of boisterous business, am the bouncing, blue Beast!"

	This is bad. She doesn't want to entertain anyone. She twirls to face Boom Boom. Then she jumps just barely avoiding Beast. She feels her stomach grow cold. "Guys! Stop this! This isn't right. You don't really want to kill me, do you? You're supposed to be the good guys! Like me!" But somehow she knew this was going to land on deaf ears. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Boom Boom blew another bubble and more explosives flew from her hand. It was odd, that she made exactly four each time and they were all the same size. Never growing larger or getting smaller... never any more or less in number.

Beast rebounds as he lands and is flying at Eliza once more, large hairy feet first, "Oh my stars and garter! Did you hear that Boom Boom? We don't want to kill her! She believes she's become a telepath and can dictate our actions!"

"Jedi mind tricks ain't working on me, Big Blue," Boom Boom returned with yet another volley.

Overhead, the noise increased in level as sirens began to wail an overly cheerful circus ditty.

	Robots. They were all robots. She ducks and rolls to avoid the attacks. "Well I predict that I will be fighting back," Eliza snaps as she springs and rolls before jumping into an attack with both of her sticks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Strobing black lights started flashing from the ceiling, making the movements of her opponents look odd and disjointed even as they moved in for a different attack. Boom Boom kept to the outside, launching her explosive balls and blowing bubbles while Beast met Eliza head on.

He let her attack hit to close the space between them and have a chance at wrapping his legs around her so he could toss her into an oncoming barrage of Boom Boom's fire balls, "Alley oop!"

	"Oh shit!" The lights were confusing her and were actually starting to hurt her head really badly. She could feel the migraine starting to form already. It was a big reason why she couldn't do clubs. It hurt when she fell into the fire balls. She was glad that her uniform could take some of this but too much and it would be as if it was directly on her skin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

New sirens joined the rest of the lights and sounds, adding to the cacaphony as a screen was lowered from the ceiling to show the apparently lifeless body of Alisa in the house of mirrors.

Boom Boom and Beast took a moment to clap while a new voice filtered into the room, "It seems we have our first winner here in Murderworld! Congratulations to Alisa for an excellent and entertaining death! Who will be runner up? Will it be dear Eliza, Eliza, Eliza~?"

	"You.... you monsters," Eliza shouts. Then she attacks Boom Boom. She goes right for the head with a flurry of blows meant to take the robot's head right off. Eliza is pissed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The robot, not programed to be quite fast enough, is unable to escape the attack. And while her head doesn't come completely off, it is damaged heavily and she starts creating explosives and throwing them blindly. The Beast bot still remains and now has the drop on Eliza as her attack on Boom Boom gave him all the warning he needed to get back in the fight. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eliza feels much better about this now. She gets thrown by Bot Beast but she rolls and climbs up dodging a explosive thrown close to her. She bears her teeth and makes a come hither motion. She is ready to keep fighting. She intends to win. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The strobing of the lighting around her increases in speed and is added to by the randomly thrown explosives that are as much a danger to the other bots in the arena as they are to Eliza. Beast Bot doesn't seem to care about this fact and throws himself at the woman with gusto, bounding into the air and flipping to gain momentum as he comes down upon her.

While the Bot was indeed well programed and extremely bouncy and fluid in his motions, someone as experienced as Eliza and the other Champions would be able to see a pattern to his attacks. Like a music player on shuffle, he had only so many songs to sing.

She would love nothing more than to just shut her eyes and forget this place for a moment. But then that would result in her getting hurt even more.

She uses the lights to set a tone and starts dodging more frequently than Bot Beast can even come close to touching her. She can tell that she can win if she goes more of the offensive. She just needs to be more aggressive in her attacks so she starts to match him. Meet his rolls with attacks and dancing out of the way when it's his turn to attack.

Eliza's tactics are sound and soon the Beast Bot is unable to land any attacks. His moves predicted and countered. The only retaliation that whomever was controlling and watching this seemed able to do was increase the noise and the flashing of the lights. The rest of the room covered in a haze of smoke from destroyed robots and the continued random tossing of bombs from the Boom Boom bot. Breathing was going to get hard, soon. The space, while dark and giving the impression of being cavernous, was in reality relatively small and filled up easily.

	Eliza tries to not choke. She should take care of Beast first. So she goes on a final assault to take down the demented robot. She needs to make sure he can't keep attacking her while she tries to get the heck out of dodge. (Reply to this)(Parent)
