A/N: So late, so late, so late! Gah! I was supposed to have started this in the beginning of October to give myself time, but no! I totally forgot all about it! This is in dedication to Halloween! The last chapter, (probably number 10) will be posted on the day right before the 21, or that very morning! I'll decide! But man! I'm so LATE!
Who's Not Letting the Ghouls Out?
Cheering can be heard all over the background as the battle goes on. In the 'battle field'. a war is raged between two bots: both are about one foot high. But one of them looks way more high-tech with a sleek and slim build. The other looks a little bulky, but looks like the build is secure and it's ready for action!
Around the sides of the 'battle field' are the crowds and two very determined and focus looking faces. One looks like any other geek, large glasses upon his nose and red, longish hair hanging over his ears. His slightly crooked teeth were bared and clenched as the controller in his hand was being attacked his thumbs. His name is Mikey Sullivan.
The other teen bit his tongue as beads of sweat rolled down his face. It has been a rather interesting battle seeing as the robots are probably equally matched. His red beret covers the dark-skinned boy's head and his half-moon glasses give him an almost smart kind of look. In his hands is also a controller, the levers and buttons being clicked away as multiple weapons of hammers and jabbing spears are used to pound at the enemy. This boy's name is Tucker Foley. And this, my friends, is the 'Annual Bot-out', which is both ironic and a play on words. The contest is supposed to be a supposed fundraiser for the school, but it never gets 'bot' out and the place is usually only about half-filled with students.
But among these students, who are mostly only there to take bets and compete, are some friends of the competitors to cheer on their comrades. Two of these are Samantha Manson and Daniel Fenton, better known as Sam and Danny, or the lovebirds.
"Come on, Tucker!" Sam shouts, cupping her hands around her mouth. She brushes back a lock of black hair behind her ears and watches as her friend continues on.
"You can do it!" Danny shouts, adding to the encouragement. His blue eyes shift over to Mikey. The boy looks like he's having a hard time with Tucker's bot, but there's a glint in his eyes that says he's got something up his sleeve. Danny doesn't exactly like that look.
Then, Mikey grins, a smirk really, and presses a small, reddish button on his controlling. Teeth clenched, Danny's eyes shift back towards the battle.
He knew something was up!
Catching everyone off-guard, mainly Tucker, Mikey's bot, reasonably named Sneak, stops and begins to change form! Tucker stops his robot and watches in awe as Sneak comes up to it's length size and cords of some sort begin to come out from the sides before it literally drops dead ontop of Tucker's bot!
"What the-!" But Tucker doesn't get any further than that as the cords seem to connect to all the batteries of Tucker's bot. Then, Sneak rolls off of his opponent and rides away. Tucker tries to press his bot further, but to no avail. It was dead, just like that.
"And it seems that Tucker's bot has been left...without any battery power! Sneak wins!" comes the voice over the intercom. People rush towards Mikey, others frown and pay up the bets they made.
Tucker stands there, still in shock of what had just happened. He finally closed his gawking jaw and sighs.
"It was a good fight, Tuck," says Sam, coming up next to the boy and putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder. Tucker smiled thinly.
"Yeah, you did great," Danny added.
"Thanks guys," Tucker mumbled. He sighed again and walks away and over to his robot, picking it up and putting it beneath his arm along with the controller. He looked towards Mikey and saw the announcer guy giving him the small gold trophy. There was only a prize for the winner, and that was Mikey.
As the crowd walks away from Mikey and the cheering dies down, the red-haired teen walks over to his own robot, picking it up.
Tucker approaches him and extends a hand towards him. "Good fight," Tucker said, smiling.
Mikey stares at him, then looks down at his hand. He smirks and says, "Better for me." With that, he turns smartly on his heel and walks out the door, nose in the air.
Tucker blinks, his face once again gawking.
He couldn't believe he just got blown off...
By a geek even more geekier than him!
E/N: Yes, first chapter is sucky,I'll get the second one up in a jiffy! Oh, and sorry but this story will be taking up a lot of my time so, my other stories may not get up-dated very much if at all this month. Sorry guys!
