Why I love


Sitting there Flicking open his Zippo lighter the young droid pilot was watching as his Droid got repaired. He was a simple pilot and just sat there watching over his fully customised droid. It had taken him many season to fine tune his layout, and get every thing right, The only problem was, every one else had it ‘Just right’, in the end it just comes down to the skill of the pilot.

The young pilot in question had been fighting from such an early age, being mesmerised by the way these large mechanical machines could fight, and the sheer devastation that they could give. He wasn’t the best Pilot but he could handle himself in a battle. He knew every thing there was about the droids, and how to tweak them, not for easy kills, but just to cause sheer damage. His father before him had been a Droid Pilot and His mother as well, there was no sex diversity here.

The young lad still needed a name, He had many written down, but he needed one that fitted his droid. He wanted to fit in to one of these large fighting corporations, its hard finding the resources on your own. Many names passed through his head, most being inspired by other players, but only one took his fancy, Rampage, this name was chosen out of the blue, his droid always caused mass amounts of damage, when it wasn’t being shot at by others, but he always managed to shoot back. So Rampage it was, His name said it all.

Now all he needed was a corporation, Most over looked him due to the name he held at the time ‘Lurgis Lil Help’. He had held that name because he once stood beside a monster, forgotten in the modern Droid wars "Lord of the Lurgi". Rampage had fought well with his master, but now it was a new dawn.

Now a little more grown up and with more Friend than he had expected he leads ‘Empire of the Gods’. This was a corporation Started by a legend named Bill, sadly sue to circumstances out side the battlefield bill had to leave, and the gods looked to Rampage. Rampage was totally unaware that he was chosen but he took the challenge, and tries to bring Empire of the Gods back to its original Standard. Now on his best form ever, we follow him into his daily Plans throughout the world of ‘DROIDARENA’.

Now for Rampage his day of fighting starts at 8:00 AM, that’s when he gets a delivery of Arena Points so that he can fight. See that’s how it works, being part of the ‘Games’ run by ‘The Senate’ you have to earn the arena point to play in their arenas. Each arena is held in a city, and each city has a Star rating, rather like a Hotel. So, at 8:00 AM Rampage goes about, making sure his Droid is in top fighting condition, he knows he will have to go out fighting the likes of Afterthought_btw from the Predators, a feared corporation for their brutality, and Guvnor from Final Supremacy, a new corporation with the thirst for power, both at the same level of fighting, both with devastating setups. The only thing Rampage feared is the killing machine that is Yppolitia.
So with a brand new set of 5 Arena Points rampage sets out, his first arena of the day, a nice little city under the name Cleveland, from OH USA. And the battle starts.

Rampage starts the Initialisation Sequence:

-------------------------------
Enemies Set: = Eightball

=========================
I am Leader

=========================

NEXT TO DROID!
ENEMY APPEARED
(Orb_VI)
ENEMY APPEARED
(bobafett)

And the battle begins, immediately into the fight, Guns Blazing into action. Six shots leave Rampages Guns and head straight towards the lesser Orb VI and Rampage watches as they each impact on the small Chassis or the orb and the damage read out flashes a strong hit of 328 Damage to the Orb. But just as quick as Rampage lets rip he is attacked from behind for 247 damage from Bobafett. The shield crackles again as the Orb VI Returns fire only hitting for 67 damage. But then Rampage got lucky, Bobafett and Orb VI met on the same tile, Rampage took advantage of this and let loose again, hit both people, all shots making contact, again the damage meter flashed a number of 656. This last volley must have scared Bobafett off as after returning fire he was never seen again until tick 66 and then tick 213 and finally tick 310, each time Bobafett was fighting back with no holding back. But after tick 66 Rampage carried on and wiped out the Orb VI, which caused no problem and was eliminated during tick 50. However this was not the first casualty. There was an early death, reason un known at tick 8 by Arinara who destroyed Nanaki.

17 ticks later Rampage met up with Eightball, who had been targeted from the start, a special Warning noise came over the intercom informing me of his close proximity. “Eightball Targeted, Opening Fire”. However this was only a quick feud as Rampage has only launched two volleys before Bobafett re-appeared. From there Rampage and Bobafett battled it out, during which Wired let of an Armageddon Device which ripped through Rampages Deflector unit before Bobafett finally wiped it out.

Then there was a calm 33 ticks where Rampage could get his act together but having a bad feeling as his only friend in the arena Legolas fell to Thunderchief. Taking the thought of Legolas’ health Rampage Battled on, Launching a volley at Afterthought_btw scoring 827 Damage before Afterthought_btw came right back scoring 315 damage with 4 critical hits Knocking out one of Rampage’s guns. Still we battled on, again and again, hitting each other hard, with him knocking out yet another one of Rampage’s guns. Then at tick 179 Thunderchief destroyed NelEric and Afterthought_btw and Rampage held fire. Following this Thunderchief let loose an Armageddon device again ripping into Rampage’s shielding.

Again there was a wait of 39 ticks, where Rampage could carry out a damage report.

================================
Deflector Unit, Wiped out sir
Guns 1 and 2, Wiped out sir
Gun 3, Badly Damaged sir
Guns 4, 5 and 6, ok to go
Shielding reduced by 1/3
================================

Rampage then saw his chance, Bobafett cleanly in his sights, Rampage opened fire. With this volley he knocked out one of Bobafetts guns. Bobafett was not happy, immediately shooting back, and this continued, again, even amounts of weapons but with Rampages weapons doing that bit extra damage. Just as Bobafett was about to nock out Rampage’s damaged gun, Destroyer413b came in and hit Rampage for 132 damage with one gun glancing of his shield and causing no damage. Bobafett continued his relentless attack, as Rampage’s new target was Destroyer413b. Shooting at each other with our last 3 guns. Then at tick 246 Rampage broke through Destroyer413b’s Blockade Shield and started to smash into his guns and frame, with no holding back, his weapons fell like little flies in a microwave oven, Rampage never missed, Most shots having a critical effect on the droid of Destroyer413b. Then at tick 264 Cheesy showed up looking worse for wear, Rampage opened up to full power and wiped out cheesy with little problem except the constant hits from Destroyer413b’s last gun. After cheesy fell to Rampage at tick 285, the sights of his droid fell back onto Destroyer413b. During the last few ticks of Destroyer413b’s battle Rampage collected an Armageddon Device and smashed everybody for 156 damage. Then, after a gruelling fight 6 ticks after Thunderchief got another kill with spyder, Rampage completed his assault on Destroyer413b during the tick of 312. but Rampage had no rest, Immediately after this kill, Bobafett Returned, and opened fire causing Rampage further damage.

Now rampage had the area cleared around him. He could perform quick repairs that are possible from the piloting seat. Rampage then set off at half speed, all he could manage after the savage smashing he had taken. Now all rampage did was wait for 188 ticks, this was the hardest thing rampage did, He could hear the comm. System scream as people went down, and he could see the flashes of immense light as Guns let loose. During this period however Rampage came across 3 Special Packages, Each one boosting the power to one of his guns. He now had a maximum hitting force of 107, now he felt lucky.

After the third package however Rampage came across Arthur but could only let off one volley before Arthur slipped away. Sadly Arthur fell to another only 29 ticks later to Koala, who has yet to play a part in this battle.

Then out of the blue Thunderchief turned the corner, Rampage let loose two gun volleys as fast as his guns could just before Thunderchief turned the next corner. Both volleys connected and rampage saw Thunderchief’s shield flash. Rampage made haste and followed Thunderchief but was then confronted by Afterthought_btw. This surprised Rampage, but thinking quickly he opened fire and smashed what seemed to be a defenceless Afterthought_btw and took him down to Frame damage. Just as Rampage was scoring frame hits Koala Came up behind Afterthought_btw and started launching volleys at Rampage.

Rampage, determined to finish Afterthought_btw continued to fire taking hard hits from Koala, many of those shots hitting for critical hits. All of a sudden Koala stop firing at Rampage and this gave him time to finish his job. Afterthought_btw fell during tick 578, but this then opened an opportunity!

A badly wounded Thunderchief appeared in Rampages View screen, Rampage felt the chance was nigh and opened to full power on all offensive systems and completed somebody else’s job on Thunderchief. However just as Rampage was about to let loose the last two volleys A very badly wounded Fury v.2 appeared in from of Rampage and a shot connected and took out Fury v.2. Rampage felt disappointed he had not had a better fight with him, but a kill was a kill, and a kill gave more Experience points which helps with the ranking system. But as the dust settled from the death of Fury v.2 Rampage could not Spot Thunderchief. Rampage knew that he and Thunderchief both had Low Health Points, but Rampage knew that he had guns!

Then Rampage had another arduous wait, a total of 238 ticks, each lasting an hour. Rampage could only move slowly due to the mass of damage he took. Rampage called up a damage report and it didn’t look good.

================================
Deflector Unit, Wiped out sir
Guns 1,2 and 3, Wiped out sir
Gun 4, Practically Out
Guns 4, 5 and 6, ok to go
Shielding Report: 5261/9200
================================

Rampage knew he could only hold on a little longer, and continued his pursuit of Thunderchief. Then, at tick 830 Thunderchief turned the wrong corner and headed straight for Rampage. 4 shots were let loose in as fast succession as they could go and then Thunderchief fell. At this rampage was amazed, he had managed 6 kills. Rampage had only ever managed a total of 4 before this day. But in the distance he saw a glimmer of light, and at this sight Rampage set off, feeling pretty good about the score he had racked up today. The glimmer he saw was Koala, a previous adversary. Rampage Saw his chance and shot off his guns, taking out a weapon of Koalas before he sighted Eightball.

Eightball and rampage had organised a friendly battle between ‘Empire of the Gods’ and ‘Deadly Droids’. However this battle turned nasty, and players from each team had the feeling for revenge. Rampage was not on his best form in the first battle between the two corporations, only letting off 69 shots in the full 1500 ticks. But Rampage knew he had the chance now! He opened his sights to full and his entire power gauge read green and the shots flew across the arena, each shot scoring a nice hit with a flash on Eightballs shields. Eightball fell under Rampages guns during tick 901. Seven kills rampage had scored this arena, but his Droid could not take much more punishment. However Rampage battled on. He sighted Koala and opened fire knowing he hadn’t a chance. Rampage was shooting with 3 guns and Koala having 3 guns this battle was not going to last long but was going to be even.

Immediately Rampage opened fire and was scoring hits well on koala, but the Koala started to return fire. Rampage hitting for 160 average and koala hitting back for an average of 135. Rampage had the upper hand in gun power but koala had the upper hand in health. 182 tick this feud battled on, Koala hitting Critical hits, again, and again, and again. Rampages guns fell like rain, and rampage was now left open. Still Rampage held no fear and headed straight for koala. But then, Whilst Koala was hitting for Frame Damage Rampage spotted the doll, picked it up but every hit from koala mad him throw the doll across the room.

Rampage fell to Koalas Guns at the end of tick 1086. Rampage knew he was going down, but did it after having a great arena. Now all Rampage had to do was wait for the end of the Arena time and then go to the trophy room for the winners read out and the Experience gained.
Koala Finished with the doll, he deserved the win, but Rampage felt as if he didn’t deserve the kills he had achieved, but it was still a fantastic battle. The repair costs for this were phenomenal, every piece of his droid in a state of no return, each piece had to be rebuilt from scratch. The biggest cost being his shielding. The award ceremony was great, Rampage only being beaten in Experience points by Koala who had the doll and earned that 69 extra Experience.

That day was the greatest day for Rampage, Having seen the entire fight through and having the chance to meet the winner of that arena in combat.

Rampage still, battles on, earning experience at a steady rate, yet having complications with his upgrades. His levels have increased since that day but the equipment has not.

Rampage, even though he is alone in his life, his heart is taken. He will do almost anything to fight in the arenas of his Beloved Droidarena. His life is fully dedicated to this great association and is only absent when he is Learning his skills in College, preparing for the bad cases of injury through Droid fighting.

That conclude this epic story, Rampage shall be fighting on and on, even after his passing, he shall always dream of the days he spent under the association rules, setting his life by them, eating when the rules said so, and sleeping when the rules said so. Nothing can part him from the game of Droidarena
