Mighty Mucius "The Lefty" Scaevola will take on any and all comers -- even two at a time, if that's possible

Hmm, it would be tempting to forego training for this fight if I could bank the training for after this one. I'm pretty confident (cocky, even) about my chances to win this skirmish without any additional advantages.
However, if I can't bank it then I'll take chains. I might actually need a secondary weapon for someone like Little Jeeber Dee down the line ... |

If you'd like to bank it, that is entirely your perogative, however, I don't really see how it would help you. Regardless, you have one week of weapons training coming to you. |

Louis LeBeau (Rank 1, House Corax) vs. Bonzo the Death Monkey (Rank 1, Bloodhaus)
Weapons: Warhammer, Knife, Lead Pipe, Crowbar Analysis: Neither of these fighters got a good match on their weaponry. Louis favors the longsword and Bonzo has a fetish for chains. That said, this will end up being a fair fight. Look for this one to go the distance with plenty of blood being spilt. The oddsmakers set it off at 1:1. Mr. T (Rank 1, House of Four Fingers) vs. King III (Rank 1, Malice Unchained) Weapons: Claymore, Machete, Machete, Longsword Analysis: Another case of neutral luck as the two will have to match their wiles, instead of relying on those weapons that they so cherish. Mr. T favors the mohawk, I mean the chains and King III is a warhammer kind of guy. The odds fall slightly in King III's favor as he is a healthier fellow. 5:3 in favor of King III. Parvus Caesar (Rank 2, Pain Unlimited) vs. Hornsmaniac (Rank 2, House Corax) Weapons: Knife, Warhammer, Chains, Longsword Analysis: Et tu Hornsmaniac? It looks like Parvus gets a lucky weapons draw in this match. The knife showed up on the weapons listing for the fight. Parvus will use his weapon and style proficiency to try to get the better of Horns. Hornsmaniac on the other hand will try his best to keep the Knife out of Parvus' hand. Horns may want to reconsider the generous offer of training that his slave master gave him. Too late now . . . The oddsmakers post this one at 4:3 in favor of Parvus. Godzillius Blitz II (Rank 2, Pain Unlimited) vs. Raven "The Imposter" Hawk (Rank 2, Malice Unchained) Weapons: Spiked Club, Lead Pipe, Chainsaw, Axe Analysis: For the third time this week, the weapons draw has been neutral. For two neophyte fighters like GBII and Raven Hawk, however, it is a welcome chance to show of their other skills. Godzillius will flash some of his Normal fighting style technique and Raven Hawk will attempt to out wit his opponent. This one goes to the paddocks dead even at 1:1. JAGus "mAd" MAXimus (Rank 4, Pain Unlimited) vs. Qwikshot (Rank 3, The House of Four Fingers) Weapons: Longsword, Warhammer, Rapier, Spear Analysis: Yet again we are faced with a match where the weapons draw is inconsequential. Jagus finally gets a match without his chainsaw and Qwikshot will be missing his machete. The vengeance factor goes to Jagus as he has sworn to single handedly eradicate The House of Four Fingers of its fighters. Jagus will attempt to maneuver with his multiple styles and Qwikshot will rely on his defensive abilities to keep him out of Jag's way. The match falls slightly toward Jagus untile we get to the paddocks. 7:5 in favor of JAGus. Last edited by Raven Hawk : 02-03-2005 at 12:26 AM. |

Fattoe is officially off of the IR after week 9, but could fight in week 9 if he doesn't mind wearing a couple of bandages into the arena. I'm sure that Thunderdome fans would love to see Fattoe fight in the season finale in week 10. |

It's time for THUNNNNNNNN DERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!
Weaponsmiths put their final touches on the weapons that will be used in the arena. Mostly they are cleaning blood and skull fragments off of the weapons, but they take to make sure that blades are nice and sharp and that chainsaw motors run properly. Fans begin to filter into the stadium as the first two fighters: Louis LeBeau and Bonzo the Death Monkey make their way to the paddocks. |

Louis LeBeau (Rank 1, House Corax) vs. Bonzo the Death Monkey (Rank 1, Bloodhaus)
Weapons: Warhammer, Knife, Lead Pipe, Crowbar Purse: $12,000 The crowds continue to funnel into the Thunderdome Arena. Some don't even know that this fight is going on. It's the undercard, they won't miss anything, will they? As Louis LeBeau comes out onto the stage in the paddocks, he looks to be in prime condition. Bonzo the Death Monkey, on the other hand, looks like he just woke up 10 minutes ago after passing out from an late night bender. The paramutual pool adjusts itself to 2:1 in favor of Louis prior to the match. The two men enter the stadium and are led to their corners. The host takes the microphone and bellows the battle cry, "BEGIN!" Louis confidently saunters over to the knife and Bonzo goes for the lead pipe. |

The two men grab their weapons and meet in the center of the ring. They circle each other momentarily, until they both charge with their short range weapons. Bonzo stumbles as he charges . . .

But recovers in time to avoid the quick stab of Louis' blade. Bonzo wipes his brow and exhales a deep breath. Bonzo then swings low, drawing Louis' blade low to block. But Bonzo changes direction and swings for the Louis' elbow on his weapon hand as he tries to block. The strike lands, but misses the elbow and leaves only a small bruise on Louis' upper arm. Louis counters, slicing his knife upwards across Bonzo's chest. The blade opens a large wound as it trails off its victim's shoulder. We've got a bleeder!

Louis follows up with a quick, aggressive strike as Bonzo grabs at his chest wound with his left hand. Bonzo parries the blow at the last minute and strikes back. Louis jams the strike with his off-hand, stopping the attack before it gains any momentum.

Bonzo strikes again, swinging wildly at Louis' head. The blow lands, but only lightly, catching Louis by surprise. The tap to Louis' cheek causes him to back out and abort his counter attack.

The two men start circling again. Blood from Bonzo's chest wound is now trickling down his leg and wetting the sand beneath him. Bonzo moves in aggressively from the left swings the lead pipe with vigor. But, that's exactly what Louis, wanted him to do! Louis slide-steps to the right and cuts his knife down at Bonzo's head!

Bonzo, uses his primal instinct to evade the blow! Louis is confused, that shot should have landed! Bonzo backs out and adopts a defensive style to recover a little. But, Louis is on him like stink on shit! Louis swings high again, but Bonzo scats away from the blow, barely evading the pointy tip of Louis' knife!

Bonzo starts to feel a little light headed as the blood continues to drip from his chest. He attacks, with nothing to lose. He needs to take Louis down soon, he will pass out! Bonze swings at Louis with all of his might . . .

The hollow lead pipe whistles through the air as it heads towards Louis' head. But it keeps whistling right past Louis' ear as Louis deftly contorts his body to avoid the blow. The motion is hard to recover from and Louis hits the ground.

Louis tries to stab through his own guard and catch Bonzo unaware. Bonzo's too smart for that and avoids the stab. The blood loss looks like it's getting to Bonzo, his eyes are glazing over!

Bonzo collapses to the ground and takes a final swing at Louis before collapsing in a puddle of his own blood. The strike lands, but with no power. The medical staff comes out to the arena floor and check for a pulse. There isn't one, the doctor pronounces Bonzo dead!
TWO MEN ENTER! ONE MAN LEAVES! TWO MEN ENTER! ONE MAN LEAVES! Louis LeBeau wins the fight. He is promoted to Rank 2 and receives 1 prestige point. Raven Hawk walks out to check on his fighter. Louis' knee is in horrible shape. He won't be able to fight again this season. Raven Hawk claims the purse and offers to train Louis in a new weapon when his is fit enough to fight again. It's an ugly win for Louis, but a win nonetheless . . . |

Mr. T (Rank 1, House of Four Fingers) vs. King III (Rank 1, Malice Unchained)
Weapons: Claymore, Machete, Machete, Longsword Purse: $12,000 Mr. T is the first fighter to walk the stage in the paddocks. He looks to be in pretty decent form. King III follows his opponent out on the stage. Although he looks to be in a little worse shape, he still looks like he will put up a good fight. The odds fall to 4:3 in favor of King III prior to the match. The two fighters make their way to the arena floor and the host takes the microphone. "BEGIN!" The two won't compete for a weapon as King III heads for the Longsword and Mr. T heads for the Claymore, fool. |

The two men grab their swords and begin the ritual circling in the middle of the ring. Mr. T is the first to act and takes a wide swing with his claymore. The massive weapon blows through King's parry and cuts deep into King's midsection. The blank stare on King's face is information enough to understand that he's hurting.

King drops to one knee and Mr. T takes another mighty swing with the claymore from range. The heavy weapon comes down hard at the crook of King's neck and bites deep into his chest. King collapses and Mr. T pulls the claymore from his dumbstruck opponent.
TWO MEN ENTER! ONE MAN LEAVES! TWO MEN ENTER! ONE MAN LEAVES! King coughs up a final splattering of blood before his eyes roll back into his head. Mr. T walks over to his victim and shakes head, mumbling "I pity the fool!" Mr. T has won the fight. He is promoted to Rank 2 and receives 1 prestige point. Flynn collects the purse and offers to teach Mr. T some defensive techniques. Mr. T is unhurt and can fight again at his leisure. |
