"Welcome back everyone, the much-anticipated semi-final round is about to begin." The announcer shouted into his mic.
The audience responded with loud cheers as they looked at the three remaining robots in anticipation. Even though most believed 'Hell Punch' will be this year's champion again but with the advent of the Free Points and the arrival of the son of the legendary da Fonte son.
There was a tiny bit of hope in the mind of everyone, who wanted to see something spectacular.
"The first match is….. Free Points vs Hideous Monster."
"Liz, what do you think of this match?" Judge, the commentator asked his female partner.
"This…. I can't say…. With the arrival of Pablo in the Free Points team. We can't underestimate them anymore.
Even though their robot looks clumsy and weak, Pablo with his rich experience from the city will have a trick or two in his arsenal." Liz said with much thought.
"You're right. This fight has become unpredictable and we hope for Free Points to give us another round of spectacular surprises. Go Free Points!!" He shouted into his mic, supporting the Free Points team.
Meanwhile, it was not only the commentator that felt this, the audience had begun to chant 'Free Points' While their names began to gather momentum.
As for the Hideous Monster team, they had unsightly expressions on their faces. Never in their dream would they believe the unknown Free Point would have such momentum inside the stadium.
"Destroy them and let the world see why we are called Hideous Monsters." The owner of the Hideous Monster said to his team with a cruel smile on his face.
In another part of the mini-stadium, a group of people dressed in black suits looked at the excited audience, screaming 'Free Points' without any expression on their faces.
"What do you think?" A middle-aged man asked a young man sitting beside him.
"They're nothing. Hideous Monster will tear them into pieces. The fight is between us and them. And we're going to win easily as always." The young man said confidently, not looking at the Free Points team.
On the ring, Free Point stood on the right side while facing the intimidating Hideous Monster. The Hideous Monster stood inside the battle ring, painted in a striking shade of yellow that made it impossible to miss. Its red eyes scanned the arena, searching for any sign of its opponent.
As the match began, the Hideous Monster moved with a grace that belied its size and weight. Its clipping foot allowed it to dart around the ring, while its hammer hand hung ready to strike.
Watching Hideous Monster's fluid movement, Pablo sucked in a cold breath as he controlled the clumsy Free Point to battle. Raising it two hands, taking a defensive position as it welcomes Hideous Monster.
Bang!
Crashed!
Free Points was sent flying crashing with a powerful hammer attack into the wire surrounding the ring before it bounced back and crashed to the ground. For a couple of seconds, the audience was quiet with their jaws dropped.
"Know your place… Piece of junk!" A voice shouted from the Hideous Monster team.
"Oh My World" Judge screamed to the mic with a stunned expression on his face. "Can the Free Points come back from this?"
"The question is…. Can the legendary son of da Fonte make a comeback from this?" Liz added.
"I knew it," The young man from the black suit group said with ridicule.
As for Pablo, his mouth hung open as he looked at the lifeless Free Points on the ground. For a couple of seconds, his brain failed to process what just happened. It was when he heard the continuous scream of Isadora did he woke from his stunned world.
"What are we going to do?" Isadora asked with panic written all over her face.
"I knew it. We'd have surrendered when we had the chance." Cedric muttered with deep hatred as he looked at Pablo.
Pablo didn't care about what Cedric was saying, his brain was running Mach 10 as he was looking for ways for Free Points to get back on his feet. His hand danced on the Free Points controller as he looked at its system diagnosis and other hardware installed on Free Points.
"I don't think Pablo can perform any miracle…. This is where their luck ends." Judge said melancholy.
Judge had yet to complete his statement when a humming sound came from the ring. The dead Free Points came back to life.
"What in the freaking world is going on right now," Judge screamed with excitement bubbling on his face.
"Is this the power of the da Fonte family?" Liz asked in a daze.
"How could this be?" The owner of the Hideous Monster said with shock written all over his face. However, he recovered quickly and the cruel smile on his face deepened.
"Finish it even when lying on the ground." He commanded the guy controlling the Hideous Monster.
As Free Points got back on its feet, a deep dent appeared on its head, showing its wires and other circuits. Thus, showing how deadly the hammer attack was.
'We can't be hit with that hammer again. I must get into its circle and confuse him.' Pablo thought. This technique was a common technique in the city but here. They were oblivious to it.
"Continue" The referee announced.
Immediately, Hideous Monster moved swiftly toward Free Points with more ferocity as it raised its hammer in the air while its clipping foot went toward Free Point's feet, trying to hold him in one place.
Seeing this, the audience sucked in a cold breath as they all understood what this meant.
Hideous Monster was going for a kill.
Meanwhile, Pablo wasn't frightened by this. He calmly waited for the clipping foot to almost close on him when he controlled Free Points to sidestep the foot and took a step back avoiding the hammer attack by an air.
'What!'
'He avoided it!'
As for Free Points, it got closer to Hideous Monster, not losing its advantage and sending a powerful attack.
"Right Drilling Punch"
"Lean back"
"Right uppercut."
"2 by 2"
"Step forward. Double ace drilling punch"
Watching the series of punches coming from Free Points raining into Hideous Monster. The Audience was Flabbergasted.
"Is it possible for Free Points to win this match?" Liz whispered.
