A mighty fanfare rings through Arena Hall D as The Killing Joke rolls into position. Darknight enters the Operator pit waving to the crowd, who cheer and yell wildly, but SingularByte is focused - muttering the game plan to himself under his breath, psyching himself out.

TO MY LEFT! In position number 4, a newcomer, painted in lurid white and green - IT’S THE KILLING JOKE!

And ON THE RIGHT! Starting in position 16, a veteran of these halls, battle-hardened and reinforced - IT’S HARD HAT!

AND WE’RE OFF!

Killing Joke makes a big move forward to position 8 but - what’s this? Hard Hat revs its engine a few times and then - oh my goodness! A little panel has opened on top of its yellow dome and a smoke-stack chimney has poked out! CHOO-CHOO! And then a HUGE slam forward, its Cow-Catcher front and centre, slamming into Killing Joke - oh, the power differential there! Hard Hat’s hydraulic engine and light buildout giving it a huge advantage over the heavier Killing Joke meaning that the yellow peril completely has its way! Killing Joke is offering no resistance at all - and there it is! Hard Hat pulls up the brakes on position 1 and ejects Killing Joke into the gutter at pace! That’s it, it’s all over folks - Killing Joke is out of bounds and out of this Bout!

Hard Hat wins by TKO!
