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» AdamLOG 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.""
Baron sends in a drone to watch this fight, a simple bird drone to observe from somewhere safe while he sits in his RV parked nearby. He munches on chips while he watches the feed, then sends out a trix message for a bet.
«Plot» Baron says, "10k bet on Vixen to win."
Tailpipe gets the message and packs up her gear, hoofing it to the new location as fast as she can. Not long before the deadline she makes it to the substation and easily hops the wall, taking a moment to see if anyone else might be there yet. Meanwhile she gets her large roadsign of a weapon out, giving it a few test swings to see how careful she'll need to be in the tight confines of this new arena.
Vixen gears up and heads on out and arrives on her bike. This time she doesn't bother with ninja quiet. She figures she'll just go in and be bold and brassy. She recognizes her opponent and likes her. She walks into the building and watches TP swing about a roadsign and smiles, "Hey chica. Lookin good."
Tailpipe smiles toothily and shrugs. "Is ready to get crunched?" She says, giving little warning other than that before she charges to the more dimuative form of Vixen.
As the contestants arrive— there is a local broadcast channel that is opened up for betting. Vixen is favored in this fight with 3:1 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.
Vixen grins, "As ready for crunching as I'll ever be." The silver haired woman puts on her helmet and nods, "Crunch away chica." She moves into a ready stance. Note: She is wearing hardliner gloves and little else is in her hands.

Vixen doesn't herd like a shepherd, she herds like a whirlwind spinning and kicking, punching and pressing the woman up against a live wire that sparks and zaps when its touched. Once the woman's armor starts to dance with the electrical current Vix jumps away.
«Plot» Tailpipe says, " I forgot Insulation in my armor. Rating 2. So I am without any stun."
Tailpipe takes a swing at Vixen, but is quickly set upon by the smaller female. With a few expert pushes, the big troll is stumbling backwards and lands on one of the live, and the smell of ozone fills the air as electricity arcs across her body. She finaly pushes away after a moment of intense electrotherapy and growls at Vixen, swinging her weapon towards the lady.

Tailpipe once more is unable to defend against the crazy woman, and is forced against another transformer. The electricy arcs high across her, toasting parts of her and leaving her smoking and burnt in many places as she finaly breaks free of the transformer. "Bull to dis drek. Tired of slitch pushing around…" She says as she reaches into a pocket, pulling a grenade and lobbing the activated explosive at her feet.

Vixen seess that grenade and raises a duck and prayer. Her hands arms go over her ears and she makes herself as small a target as possible then looking up see's a bunch of live wires come whipping at her like death snakes and plays a game of double dutch.
Tailpipe is whipped about by wires and bits of flying metal as the grenade goes off, managing to ignore then but her unfortate state has allowed to to weaken enough that the concussive blast of her own grenade has actualy made some mark on her collective thought processes. She staggers back, obviously on her last leg as this battle draws to its inevitable conclusion.

Vixen learned to kick before she learned to walk, or so it seems judging by how high and how powerful her kicks tend to be. She throws herself at Tailpipe, slamming both booted feet into the woman's chest, and sending her into the wires that were knocked loose during Tailpipes concussion grenade blast. She lands catlike and immediately makes a grab for the woman to get her untangled. "TP? You ok?" Making sure she'll gain consciousness soon and isn't seriously injured.

Tailpipe is out like a light, the electricty being enough to finish her off and leave her crispy on the outside, tounge burning hot on the inside.
There is a text to Vixen to notify her: Congradulations. You advance to the next round.
As for the out of action Tailpipe, a pair of men in white coats come over the wall to take a look and (slowly) cart her away.
Vixen winces and feels bad about TP and makes a note to send her flowers and candy. Everyone likes those get well soon gifts!
Vixen heads on home
