3132 Solaris VII Championships Season Review (Part 3) 12/09/3133
INN - Interstellar News Network
SOLARIS CITY, SOLARIS VII – Welcome back, fight fans, to INN’s Season Recap
of the 3132 Solaris VII Grand Championship, Part Three. One week of battles, one-
hundred and twenty-eight MechWarriors to fight them, and only one champion when
it’s all over! Today’s Recap brought to you by the folks at Defiance Industries of
Hesperus II; “DefHes Knows ’Mechs!”
Day three of the annual Grand Tournament brought sixteen of the most spectacular
tournament duels yet, and a host of exciting grudge matches to boot! Highlights from
tonight included another of “Roaring” Ronald Ghost Bear’s savage, all-or-nothing
victories. Last year’s champion from Zellbrigen Stables, once more piloting his arctic
blue Kodiak “Ursa Rex,” annihilated the modified Atlas driven by twenty-fourth-
ranked “Blazing” Augr Steinhammar of Overlord Stables at the Steiner Coliseum in a
brutal, three-minute fight.
At the Factory Arena in Montenegro, seventeenth-ranked “Vanquishing” Varick
Geralyn of the Breakdown Division Stable, suffered a terrible upset when his custom
Legionnaire “Close Cutter” took a hit in the magazine from last-year’s seventy-first-
place up and comer, Ian “Boltster” Smythe and his stock Centurion “Mack”. The
victory will be sure to rocket the Wraith Stable’s Smythe up through the rankings, if
he can hold onto his luck for the next four nights, while Geralyn will have to wait till
next year for a shot at the title again.
But for all the excitement in the big matches, it was the tag-team filler duel in the
Jungle Arena, between pro-CapCon Zelazni Stables and the DiNappoli Stable team,
which drew most of the crowds. Led by tenth-ranked Olivia “Queen Liv” Tyler in her
deadly custom Ghost, the Zelazni warriors tore into the DiNappolis’ without mercy.
Gerald “T-Mister” Taylor (III) of DiNappoli, piloting his Griffin “Gladiator,” suffered
multiple injuries when Tyler ambushed his ’Mech from behind, demolished his gyros,
and emphasized her victory with a chainsaw strike to the head. Though DiNappoli
officials decried this demonstration of “excessive force” by the Zelazni champion,
judges did not disqualify Tyler or her teammate, Jerry “Heat” Seeger. After the ruling,
Tyler and her DiNappoli nemesis, “Daring” David Strauss, verbally sparred at a post-
battle interview, with Strauss promising Tyler “a nasty end” in their upcoming fifth-
round duel. Strauss refused to elaborate on his threat.
As always, fight fans, box scores for tonight’s matches and schedules for the Round
Four line-up can be found on our link-site, including the latest odds, for all you betting
junkies. Also as always, I’m Dennis Stanzio for SBC, an affiliate of INN, with your
Championship Recap, and I am out of here!
Towne Log
+ Dude! The attached vidclips showed that tag team match. Wow, that Tyler’s one
lethal ! :- KevvyCone
+ You can say that again, KC! Zelazni’s people had to weasel their way out of fines
for her last move, there. I mean, chainsaw to the head of a disabled ’Mech ordinarily
is an instant suspension! :- GRibaldi
+ Unless they’re in the Championship, that is. If Tyler’s teammate has done
something like that with his Hatchetman, the Solaris Gaming Commission would have
booted him right out and gave the purse to DiNappoli’s boys, but Tyler’s in the
Tourney, and the bad behavior to disqualify her has to be a lot more severe than
“losing control of the saw”. (I *loved* that excuse, though!) :- BNCFanatic
+ Oh, was that the defense Zelazni used? :- TVBluFist
+ Yup. Claimed a hit earlier in the match and the vibration of the saw caused Tyler’s
arm to twitch every now and then. Natch, the Commission bought it. :- BNCFanatic
+ Blah. That’s just not right… :- TVBluFist
