Chapter 20 - The Comeback

"He's back"

Even though the audience had long expected Pablo's robot to stand up again, every time they saw it; they were always awed by it.

Meanwhile, Kaida had raised her head and a relieved smile appeared on her face. 'Sigh… At least he didn't lose easily….' she thought.

She knew there was no way for Pablo to change the outcome of the match since he had copied the ugly robot sequence for the opponent.

Thus, she had long seen this fight as Pablo's defeat.

As for her team, she was conflicted and didn't know how to deal with them. Nevertheless, she knew she couldn't back down now.

'With the resources of Phoenix Guild, my dream of becoming a top robot engineer would be realized.'

She assured herself and looked at the ring with a calm expression.

As for Pablo, although he was betrayed by his team. However, since he decided to finish this battle. He put everything aside and focused on the fight.

Even though he knew the opponent must have known all his fighting sequences. He wasn't scared.

'Let's see who would have the last laugh?' He thought with confidence.

"Ready?" The referee asked, seeing the ugly robot on its feet.

The two sides nodded and the referee gave the signal for the match to continue.

"Defense position" Pablo commanded.

As for the man controlling the Phoenix robot, he looked at the ugly robot as if he was looking at the dead robot.

"Advance" He commanded.

The two robots approached each other. The audience held their breath in anticipation, mixed with excitement.

"Attack. Double Phoenix Punch"

Bang! Bang!

The ugly robot defended each of the punches easily. But the Phoenix was not done yet.

"Phoenix body slam"

This was the second style in Pablo's fighting sequence.

Thus, the ugly robot stood no chance as he easily raised in the air and slammed ruthlessly into the ground.

Huh!

The audience sucked in a cold breath.

Isadora bit the edge of her lips tightly and looked at Kiada with a murderous gaze. As for Kaida, she didn't have any change in her expression.

Can the ugly robot come back from such a ruthless slam?

Everyone thought and they shook their heads.

But to everyone's dismay, the ugly robot didn't linger on the ground too long before it stood slowly and the blue light shone brightly.

Seeing this, the Phoenix team was shocked. They looked at each other not believing what they were seeing.

This was a powerful move that defeated the four-arm robot. How could the ugly robot survive it?

As for Pablo, he was surprised. He constructed the ugly robot with the optimized schematic of the Quakvolt Robot Sequence.

How could it be defeated by its own move?

Pipe dream.

Even though the Phoenix Flame guild was shocked they could only continue with the match hoping to defeat the undying ugly robot with more slam.

But would Pablo give them that chance?

"Phoenix Body Slam" The man shouted.

"Stepback. Stepback."

"QuakVolt rapid step"

Pablo issued a series of commands and the last command, a bolt of electricity flashed on the ring, and the ugly robot dodged the Phoenix body slam.

What!

He dodged it!

The audience had jaws dropped to the ground. As for the old gym, it was quiet. The turn of events makes the blood of the audience boil.

Previously, they thought Pablo was going to lose the match since the body slam move. But now…..

Pablo didn't care about the shock of the audience and controlled the robot to attack.

"Advance"

"Attack, Phoenix elbow punch," The man said quickly.

"Lean back, lower drilling punch" Pablo commanded.

Bang!

The sound of metal clashing with others resounded in the old gym house. In the ring, when the ugly robot fist hit the lower chest of the Phoenix.

Its punch stopped mid-air and took a step back.

The force was just great for the robot.

Seeing this, the man controlling the robot gasped and widened his eyes. This was the first time during this match he saw such a reaction from his robot.

He quickly tried to control the robot to a fighting stance. But the little delay gave the ugly the opening it had been waiting for.

"Quakvolt Body slam" Pablo commanded.

Bang!

The ugly robot moved with fluidity and held the Phoenix robot with two hands over its shoulder and swung down, slamming it ruthlessly on the ground.

The old ring shook vehemently as if trying very hard not to collapse.

Huh!

He did it!

The audience cried in ecstasy. They screamed with boiling excitement, seeing the Phoenix Flames robot on the ground.

Pablo looked at the ugly robot with a look of satisfaction. 'Let's see if you can stand up'

Isadora and the others had bright smiles on their faces. No one expected Pablo to change the situation of the fight. They have long prepared for his defeat and console him.

Meanwhile, Kaida couldn't believe what she saw. A trace of panic appeared on her face.

Her heart beat rapidly while praying in her heart for the Phoenix robot to stand up.

'Please stand up…. If you're going to lose….. Don't lose to that move…. Please stand up.'

She knew if the robot was to lose to that move, her future in the Phoenix guild would be bad. They would think she betrayed and provided a weaker version of the move.

"8" The referee shouted.

As for the man controlling the phoenix robot, a bead of sweat gathered on his forehead as he pressed a series of commands on the Phoenix controller.

Humm

A red light flashed inside the eyes of the Phoenix robot and it stood up slowly. Seeing this, a sigh of relief escaped from the man's face as he wiped off the bead of sweat with the back of his palm.

As for Kaida, she touches her heart and exhales slowly. The panic expression on her reduced slowly.

Ah!

The Phoenix survive it!

The audience was stupefied with wide eyes.

What move will the ugly robot use to defeat the Phoenix?

They thought.

As for Pablo, he had a calm expression on his face as he resumed his fighting. But this time a sharp glint appeared deep in his heart.

'You should have stayed down.' He thought.

"Adance." He said

"Defend," The man commanded.

"Left drilling punch" Pablo began his chain of attack.

"Right drilling punch"

"Get into it"

'2 by 2"

"Don't let him go"

"Elbow punch"

'Flowing lower jab"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The ugly was like it was on steroids as its punches continued to rain on the Phoenix.

"Step forward. Right Uppercut. Left Uppercut."

"Pablo finish him" Isadora screamed out of the blue. Her blood boiling with excitement.

As if receiving an imperial order. A new sequence move came out of his mouth.

"Quakvolt Raging Uppercut"

Like a moment of splendor.

A bolt flash around the ugly robot's fist as it rammed into the jaw of the Phoenix Robot.

Huh!

A gasp escaped from the man controlling the Phoenix. The controller in his hand shut down under the heavy punch.

And behold….

A red object flies out of the ring and what follows was a deafening silence throughout the old gym.

Today's battle would never be forgotten by the people of Nightshade Town. Every time they saw a red robot; they would remember a robot that was sent flying out of the ring with his head missing.
