Two
humanoid robots, R-Turo and Renderer, are facing off with bastard
swords inside of a gladiatorial pit. R-Turo holds his sword in one
hand poised to strike. Renderer, a wider robot, grips his sword to
the side like he might swing it They are focused on each other with strict concentration. Elevated around the pit are stands of cheering
people.

tonight.

ANNOUNCER (op): Of course, only one will leave. Will it be skillful
R-Turo or brutish Renderer!

has pulled R-Turo's sword all the way in and through
himself. R-Turo still holds the blade and looks panicked by the other
robot's actions. The two now stand face-to-face, in arm's reach.

Renderer
grabs onto R-Turo's arms, the metal of R-Turo's arms bending around
Renderer's fingers. Renderer has a savaged look on his face.
7.
ANNOUNCER (op): ...can really just be an annoyance to these brutes.

Renderer
tears off R-Turo's arms in a shower of sparks and oil, lofting them
overhead.

ANNOUNCER (op): And they don't call him brutish for nothing!

Good transitions here! Though I personally would have rooted for R-Turo
ReplyDeleteMe too. But sometimes you have to kill your darlings. Or rip their limbs off.
