The Enforcer,The Fighter and A Scavenger

Bloodbath [8]

Cyberstrike vented deeply,staring at his opponent through the wire and rink that separated them. He was small,and that was good.
A glare of fear and hate radiated through this highlight orange mech,his fists clenched tight. Cyberstrike would try and make this fast for the poor mech.
"Fighters in the rink!" The announcer boomed,the cage doors clattered open and Cyberstrike stepped in strongly,he didnt want to show his opponent he was nervous.
"We have Cyberstrike of kaon,and Kinderflame of iacon going head on head tonight!"a new announcer shouted with enthusiasm. "Cyberstrike here is a first time fighter aswell,let's see how this pans out everybody!"

"FIGHT!"

Kinder wasted no time,he began sprinting across the rink in an attempt to quickly pin Cyber against assumable the fence.
Cyberstrike launched at him head on as well,earning a suprised look from the smaller mech.
His attention was draw to the glowering pads on kinders forearms,the warped the air around them dangerously.
Cyberstrike screeched to a halt right before impact,jumping up nimbly and digging them into a fragile circuit box on kinders back. The bot screamed in agony as Cyberstrike ripped a large gash in the box as he left.
He whipped around to see an enraged mech across the rink,one optic was offlined and an his heating pads were turned off.
Hes exposed.
Cyberstrike took the chance and ran for the mech,he hardly had time to react before one of his blades went through his chest.
The mech sputtered for a moment before dropping to the ground dead. I just killed whoever kinderflame was...
Cyber looked at the dead mech with pitty,fresh energon seeped onto the stained floor.
It was a quick fight,cyber obviously had speed and skill on his side for this one. Energon dripped from his clawed hands and dagger as he looked around.
Everyone was watching him. Everyone.
"The winner is Cyberstrike!!!"The announcer cheered,the croud of people raging in cheers soon after.
A single mech came into the rink,rage and pain on his face. "Kinder,get the fuck up.you cant go out like this!" He cried,holding the dead mechs hand.
Cyberstrike felt a stab of regret in his spark as he left the rink,reflecting on how the mech acted out on the rink.
He was too terrified to attack...
"Cyber you did so fragging good out there!" Smudge bounded over to him,a beaming smile the washed away the pain from his spark. Smudge wasn't as bad as he thought.
"The announcer already paid us,he stated theres already bets on you for another round,if your up to it." He handed Cyber 500 shanix from a stack of 1000.
"I need I minute to cool down,thanks for the shanix" Cyberstrike smiled,he couldnt stop looking at smudge for an odd reason.

"Tch,you have energon on your face,"Smudge noticed,reaching a hand and wiping a blue blotch off the side of his face.
"Wow,look at the two lovebirds~"Therma pushed himself out from a crowd,placing a hand on cyber's back. He shoved him a little and he was embarrassingly close to smudge.
"Th-therma! I-"
Cyberstrike took 2 steps back,his face a flustered mess,he was so unnaturally worked up his right eye visor has enabled.
"Its fine. Therma go bug someone else if your going to try and harass cyber."
Cyberstrike breathed a sigh of relief,a glow bug flew unnaturally close to smudge and landed on him gleefuly,its wings buzzing a warm welcome.
"This is flix,she always manages to pick me out of a crowd down here."Smudge hummed,the glowing bug blitzed around his neck and came to a rest in the crook of his neck. It had dark honey colored stripes mismatching with glowing gold stripes.
"Does she bite...?"cyber asked,looking warily at its sharp jaws. Smudge burst out laughing,a wiping a single tear from the corner of his optic. "They feed off light,I dont think I've ever seen one try and assault a mech."
Cyber smiled slightly,looking at smudges half lit face. His laugh was nice when he actually did laugh. Hes not a bad guy afterall.
