The elevator doors opened to reveal, a good twenty feet away, a tall, fit man in a white suit and casually holding up a white fox mask to his face with his left hand. Upon seeing Brian in the elevator a solitary chuckle could be heard from him. "You are just one of the people I was looking for" he began, dropping his left arm to the side and revealing his thin pointed face and blonde hair. Before Brian stood Carth Monthas, third son of the single most powerful man in the world, Gregory Monthas. He was far from heir to the business empire as only the third son, but whenever he appeared on video he was always the most easy going of his family. As such he's become a sort of public face for the company. "If you don't mind" he said walking towards Brian. "There is someplace I would like to show you and something we simply must discuss. You have a while yet before your first match yes? No matter either way" Carth laughed pulling a small circular device from his pocket. "I can have it postponed if need be."

The rocket rushed through the spot where the Luna fighter had been mere moments ago sending up dirt in all directions that quickly fell back to the ground and shrapnel from its casing which collided with either the energy barrier, to be stopped instantly or with the Luna fighter who's armor effortlessly deflected the small bits of metal. Scaled down to human proportions a man would of had a hard time surviving such a blast due to the pressure and being perforated with shrapnel, but even the lightest armor of a mechanical frame proved to be great protection.

The Luna fighter's return fire was quick enough to catch the spider mech off guard as bullets collided with its face denting the armor. In response the mechanical frame pushed off of its tower with great force from its left legs and catching itself on the tower to its right, clawed feet clamping into the building to keep it there. this time the Spider shot a volley of three missiles in a triangle pattern at the school girl mechanical frame hoping to catch it even if it barely dodged again. Not wanting to repeat the last exchange though after firing this volley the spider mech climbed up the side of the tower before disappearing on its roof.

Yay another post IC

@Urbanliner

Mechs shouldn't explode when they are destroyed, though I'll give it to you because its a simulator. Going to give some time (A day?) for other people to post and then I will have the world react to you.

@Sophrus

say I have time, blow off for over an hour. He could check over his mech and then head to the arena as the fight starts going and then complain about the mechs. Maybe interact with Garret.

Do you need help with ideas? Because I have a lot of time.

@GreenGoat

That now does seem like a more logical interpretation.

@ArenaSnow

I may still consider it for a second run through of this or something.

@Sophrus

I wouldn't say idiot, but I'll tell you what. Post in the IC and I'll forget it ever happened.

@ArenaSnow

I think it defeats the point of having an audience at the event if they cannot see the actual action. why not watch it on tv then? Or am I misunderstanding something?

@GreenGoat

We could finish it in a collaborative post.

I think that you may not have seen the posts on the last page. We have gone with an energy bubble and while someone can make a mech with an energy shield as its thing it is in fact being run as too big and energy draining to be used on mechs for now.

I was thinking it would be shot by a mixture of drones and stationary cameras I just haven't gotten around to drawing attention to them over the "studio?" audience and other things.

"Hello everyone, welcome to my first victory~ Please watch carefully over me alright?" boasted the second pilot as the walls of the arena closed up behind the mechanical frames. Garret couldn't help, but think how unusual both the competitors mechs were. Sure this event was as much about marketing for the big corps as anything, but that didn't change the fact that spider designs were uncommon. Surely not unheard of, but still uncommon and that said nothing of the tall feminine mech that was squared off against it with a design evoking more of a school or magical girl than that of a battle hardened combatant.

Clarence was her name? She didn't sound much older than garret, but she had such confidence in her abilities and that of her seemingly almost unarmed mechanical frame. It was something for Garret to be envious of. Surely though she had some sort of trick up her sleeve or else she wouldn't be so bold? Instantly Garret was reminded of something an old friend once parroted to him, 'there are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots'. The idea being that you would either die or become more cautious with time. He wondered how much and in what way the saying would apply to her later in life and if her opponent had acted similarly in his youth. Ponderings that Garret may very well forget in the heat any number of moments throughout the day.

"With both contestants ready!" the announcer started "Let's begin the countdown!" Presumably he hit a switch saying that as between the arena and the audience a wave of light traveled from the ground to a point far above the arena creating a domed energy barrier to protect the audience from the combat they had payed to see. "Three. Two. One. Fight!"

With that the spider mech began to scuttle towards the the tower on its left, quickly closing most of the two hundred foot distance before leaping at the tower and latching onto it at about its sixth floor. A portion of its abdomen on its right side elevated from the body of the mechanical frame to reveal a bank of seven warheads of which a single missile launched away from its brethren, the Luna Fighter as its target.

Originally I avoided that line of thinking because I didn't want the kind of technology to be something that mechs had available to them without being made to test it, but this place was made within the last year and its wouldn't have to be small enough for a mech to use so someone could still have an energy shield as an advancement for their mecha so I guess I will actually go with, the crowd is protected by a giant energy bubble.
