The contestants that made it to the second round get another text with GPS coordinates and the picture of the next opponent. The time is short, possibly 15-20 minutes after the first fight has taken place. As for the coordinates, it highlights an abandoned electrical substation for the district that is surrounded by a concrete wall.
The stakes appear to have been raised, as this area still has the occasional live feed of electricity going through naked wires. Even squatters know better than to set up shop here. Every meter or so is a substation tower, possibly a meter wide, that holds up the wires from hitting the ground. Some dangle down. Most of the spectators are sitting on the wall, waiting for the opponents to hop inside this man-made arena for the action.

«Plot» AdamLOG2 says, "Environmental Effects: Being staggered, thrown, knocked down, or otherwise 'moved' against where you can control your footing has the potential to be electrified. Pay close attention to these effects when in combat.""

Croc enters the area, wearing his pitfighting finery. His hair is already slicked back with blood, and strange patterns are drawn on his craggy face with more of the same. He looms out of the darkness like some sort of bogeyman of ancient legend, some creature of nightmare. In the flickering light of the substation, he waits, standing half in shade, half in light.

Malamute arrives by way of her dark grey GMC Bulldog. She's dug around and found her goggles, slipping them on before entering the desolate building. Her hands are heavily stained with blood, fingers tipped with vicious-looking metal claws, and her ccat is torn up in a couple different place. She slides the goggles down over her eyes and surveys the room, on the lookout for her opponent.

As the contestants arrive— there is a local broadcast channel that is opened up for betting. Croc is favored in this fight with 2:1 odds to win. At the very top of the channel is a marque that scrolls text saying the following: Criticalfault's Fixing services - For when you need just the right item to put the Fault right in your opponents Critical!

Given the iconic and audial nature of the dystopian future, a little icon also speaks it to those with ear buds (or speakers) in a multitude of languages.

From afar, Croc wants to come into the fight tricked out on kamikaze and nitro. mind if i handle the rolls silently?

«Plot-Page» (To: Croc) AdamLOG2 says, "Noted. Game on."

Croc smiles as the woman approaches. Good. This time… this time, he doesn't know his enemy. This time he can make it brutal. Blades slide out of his hands and he steps forward in the shadows, cutting an intricate pattern in the air. Then he roars- and then he's moving forward!

Croc lets out a howl like a thing alive as he charges, his beady little eyes alight with fire as he runs- and then he pulls into a power slide, skidding across the substation floor, turning his body to try to twist and knock the woman to the floor…

The woman has a distinct expression of fear as the large, beast-like man rips through the shadows and charges at her. She's not still, though, and quickly maneuvers to the side, raking her claws against him. The sharpened claws seem to have little to no affect on the brute, and in desperation the woman swings again.

«OOC» Croc says, "you take a light wound, then. want to pose your attack, or should i just go ahead and pose?"

Stepping to the side quickly, the woman seems to focus on the upper half of the big trog-beast. Her arm is rather quickly raised, fingers tightening and straightening as she plunges her hand down towards the man's head.
Croc's already whirlwinding up, though, rising from his crouch and twisting. His shoulder catches the woman's wrist as he turns, deflecting the attack, and as he spins he manages a slight cut across her torso. Just a surface wound- a bleeder- but it will hurt. The troll laughs as he comes up, twisting around, still, and he launches into a series of slashes- each aimed to bleed, to hurt, to force the woman onto the defense. "Joor blood is mine!" He crows.

Croc finishes coming up from his attack with a howling slash, switching his momentum from upwards to straight down, hacking with the blade attached to each hand, twisting the whole time like a whirlwind of blades.

There's a yelp from the woman as it all happens. She stumbles a little as the first couple of slices begin to drip thick, deep red liquid. One of the worst hits cuts deep into her shoulder and continues into her cheek, beginning to pour blood rather profusely after a few seconds. Malamute still tries to stay up, but not only does the last blow cleave into her chest, it slams rather hard and knocks her off balance.

«OOC» Vulcan says, "That is hencefort, Croc's battle cry."
«Plot» Croc says, "18 successes."

Cringing, Malamute scuttles back slightly and raises to her feet. She seems to have a hard time standing.

Croc wheels back around as the woman stands, moving his hand-blades in an intricate shape… and then he pivots towards the woman, swinging his arms in a devastating arc, looking to criss-cross in the woman's throat…

«OOC» Croc says, "yes, your pose."

Dark liquid rushes out, spraying forwards as the blades rip through the flesh of her throat. There's a horrid choaking sound, as if the woman was trying to scream and gasp, except that most of the air escaped from the wound instead. Her body falls to the ground with a hard thud. She's stained heavily with red, and blood would soon begin to pool around the body.

Croc howls again as the woman hits the ground, and he stands over her, holding up a bloody blade. He then looks down at his fallen rival, kicking the body softly. "Well fought, gringa," he mutters, dropping to a knee beside her.

One of the blades slips into his fist, and he reaches up, closing her eyelids. "Go in peace to de fa'der. May he accept joo into his heaven… joor time here is done."

He closes his own eyes for a moment, silently playing… and then he takes her hand. There's a sharp -chop-, and he rises, heading into the night…

The mighty warrior taking a finger with him.
