People wondered about the new look of the Clashdome. It was odd. For example, the ushers, vendors, and ticket people were all red robots. Banners were flying with huge H's on them, and all the T-shirts being sold by the robotic vendors were black with white H's on them. Also, in the middle of the wall circling the Clashdome arena was a large lump with a cloth thrown over it.

Hiro and Dai took their seats. "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" Hiro shouted into the mike, "WE HAVE AN EXCITING EVENING FOR YOU TONIGHT! TWO MIGHTY MACHINES, BOTH THE PINNACLE OF TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT ON THE PLANET EARTH!"

"Actually, one of them was made in Mesoamerica at the time of the Spaniards. Before that, even." Dai said blandly. "I doubt we could call him the pinnacle of technological advancement. Which brings us to this new, temporary look of the Clashdome which we will let Phobos Generals Miguel and Esperanza answer."

Two of the red robots entered the announcer's booth. They were both wearing incredibly stretched black with white H t-shirts.

"Our Lord is the saviour of mankind." Miguel said.

"He will bring the world into a new age of peace and happiness." Esperanza continued.

"He will purge the world of Darkness."

"He is the guider of Mankind."

"He has decided to grace this coliseum with His presence."

"He understands Mankind's enjoyment of wrestling and fighting."

"Therefore He will show Mankind His power, grace, and fighting ability."

"He will entertain you now, for He is a good parent and understands the needs of His wards."

"Then you may rejoice at His jihad against Dark Ones everywhere. All those whose souls are touched by evil shall be crushed under our Lord's mighty foot."

"This place of battling is not suitable for one so great as He."

"It has been remade to His ideals. So now we unveil the magnificence of Him."

Two Phobos Drones came out and pulled the cloth off the lumpy thing. It was a statue of a very familiar looking robot lord with his arms stretched skywards.

There was dead silence in the Clashdome.

"Now Mankind, awe at our Lord, the Master of the Phobos Robot Horde. Huitzil of Phobos." Miguel and Esperanza chanted together.

A red carpet rolled out of one of the gates to the arena. The Phobos Drones, who had all disappeared during the two Generals speech, came marching out of the gate, waving flags adorned with H's and suns on it. Then, Lord Huitzil of Phobos came out, followed by the vampires of Myre, who were dejectedly throwing confetti in Huitzil's wake. The Phobos Robot Horde stopped at the end of the carpet, but Huitzil marched on until he was at the very centre, underneath his statue.

"Greetings Mankind." Huitzil said to the crowd. "I hope that this evening will be enjoyed by all."

Dead silence.

Suddenly the Dome goes dark as all the lights flick off at once.

Then a spotlight lit up the centre of the ring, exposing a tall imposing figure in a trench coat and fedora with it's head bowed. "You Claim To Be The Guider Of Mankind?. You Who Are Not Even Organic Yourself? You Are A Fool. I Will Defeat You Here And Then I Will Destroy Your Primitive Technological Army For..........(dramatic pause)..................I AM Q" The figure suddenly looks up and throws a hand out to point at the ceiling.

The lights flick back on momentarily blinding everyone and when their vision clears they see a horde of robotic warriors equal in size and numbers to Huitzil's "Time For Battle Automaton For I Q AM THE MASTER OF MANKIND!!!!" Q fires bolts from both hands collapsing part of the roof "Oops Sorry"

Once again the dome is in dead silence. Huitzil's optics dimmed then brightened, his robotic version of a blink.

"You are pathetic. I am far superior to you for I was made in all the glory of the Sun God himself. I will crush you." He waved the Phobos Drones away, dragging the vampires of Myre away.

"True. I am not organic. I am not Human; I am Machine. Therefore, I am ruled by logic, not blinded by emotions. I can see more clearly then Humanity could ever. Therefore, I can see what is best for them and I will guide them to glory. They will thank me. You are merely trash. I have run the calculations. There is a mere 44.6% chance of you winning. But the time for talk has passed. Let us begin."

Huitzil started using a simple Gear Extension. His arms shot forward and rammed into Q sending him sprawling. The Phobos in front of the crowd held up signs that said 'Oooooh'. The audience 'Ooooohed' in a most puzzled way.

Huitzil's arms retracted He bounded across the Clashdome, picked up Q, and hurled the Bio-Mechanoid into the wall.

Q picked himself up and launched a bolt of energy from his thoratic furnace. The bolts struck Huitzil. Blowing him back. The Phobos Drones held up signs that said 'Boo' on them.

"Boo?" The audience asked.

Huitzil recovered fast. He threw a laser blast of his own at Q, which the Bio-Mechanoid dodged, throwing another bolt at Huitzil. It struck him full on in the chest, blowing him off his feet.

"OH! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WILL HUITZIL BE ABLE TO RECOVER?!" Hiro screamed excitedly.

"Q does seem to have the advantage." Dai noted.

"Phobos, to me." Huitzil said, as he climbed to his feet.

Immediately all the Phobos leapt down and began advancing on Q.

"I will not allow you to corrupt Mankind." Huitzil said. "I will kill you where you stand. Goodbye."

Q pointed at Huitzil "You Are A Fool If You Believe You Can Destroy Me With Your Puny Robots" Q held up a clenched fist "My Units, Attend Your Master" The Army of Robots Q bought with him charged forward cutting a swathe through the Phobos Drones to Huitzil through which Q ran, raising his personal shield as he ran "Time To Die Robot" Q struck Huitzil fierce blows across the head and shoulders driving the Automaton back. Huitzil struck back with his laser, sure that at this range the blast would destroy Q utterly

The blast bounced.

Q drew back one hand and said "Time To Fall" and drove a hand at huge speed at Huitzil.

Suddenly, Miguel and Esperanza leapt down from the Stadium, breaking the glass as they leapt!

"OH WHAT A SHOW!" Hiro shrieked. "I"VE GOT GLASS IN MY ARM, BUT THIS IS AMAZING!"

The punch from Q send Huitzil reeling backwards. Q moved in to finish the job, when Miguel and Esperanza grabbed hold of both his arms and held him back.

"This Is Not Fair." Q protested. "Let Our Drones Fight Each Other. We Leaders Should Fight Ourselves Alone."

Huitzil stood up. "I do not show fairness to a corrupter like yourself. You are no better then the beasts I am sworn to exterminate."

Huitzil came forward and rammed his block fist into Q. Again, and again, and again. Miguel and Esperanza broke off as Huitzil continued his destructive rampage. He ripped off one of Q's arms, and blasted him with a laser at point blank range, sending Q flying, doing incredible damage to the Mechanoid.

Even Hiro was lost for words. "Well.it seems that Huitzil is certainly showing no mercy! This.could turn into a Death Match!"

Dai nodded. "Huitzil is known for his savagery towards Darkstalkers. I suppose he thinks Q is on the same level as they are."

Several Darkstalkers in the crowd said "HEY!"

"Sorry, sorry." Dai apologized.

Huitzil came forward, picked up the ruined Q, and prepared to rip his head off, when a noise caught his attention. He looked up. There, in the front row, a little boy was hugging his mother tightly as tears welled up in his eyes.

"Mommy.The robot man's gonna kill the other robot man!"

Huitzil 'blinked'. He 'blinked' again. He turned back to Q. "I.have upset the tiny humans. You, piece of trash, will live, but next time I will show no mercy."

Huitzil tossed Q away and marched out of the Arena.

The Phobos Drones held up a sign that said 'Applause'.

There was a scattered, nervous applause. Many Darkstalkers crossed their arms and refused to clap.

"And now, people don't worry, a team of trained Clashdome Cybernetiscts are on their way out to attend to Q." Dai said.

"I Have.Failed.." Q muttered as the Cyber-Doctors began attending to the fallen robot.
