He's tricky.

- Achilles isn't moving.

- Oh, no! Get up! Get up!

This may be it.

He could be down for the count.

Massive trauma indicated.

Head injury.

He's unconscious.

It could be a concussion.

- Alpha waves breaking up.

- Copy.

- Get up, boy.

- Get up!

- Get on your feet.

- Get up!

Damn it! Get on your feet!

He's comin' for you!

He's fired his fist at Achilles!

It's out of control!

It's heading for the bleachers!

- Oh, my God!

- My God!

This was the scene

only six hours ago...

in the too aptly named

Death Valley.

There are no words...

to describe the magnitude of this tragedy,

ladies and gentlemen.

The total dead number over 300...

in this, the worst disaster

in the history of the games.

And now we return

to the hearing in progress...

as both sides

present their summations.

The Confederation's new weapon, as used,

was clearly in violation of rule seven.

Nothing classified

as a long-range weapon...

may be employed during the final

hand-to-hand combat period.

That certainly characterizes the weapon

Alexander launched as he was falling...

which Achilles heroically intercepted...

risking his life

to protect the spectators.

The Confederation

must forfeit the match...

and abandon their claim

on the sovereign state of Alaska.

For the benefit of the media

and the public...

let me first make two things clear.

One although it is tragic that people

lost their lives in this incident...

that tragedy is irrelevant.

Two the motivation of Achilles

in choosing to block the weapon...

is also irrelevant.

We hereby declare the match

inconclusive. A draw.

The stewardship of Alaska will remain

undetermined for one week.

One week from today,

you will meet again in Death Valley...

for a rematch.

Yeah! One week you're mine.

I kill you dead.

- No. I'm not fighting.

- What? What?

What do you mean?

Quiet!

Wait! Wait! Wait!

I did my contract.

Ten fights. That's it.

Coward!

You've lost your nerve!

Achilles is quitting!

All right! All right!

Clear the room!

No more pictures.

Get these reporters out of here!

Get out!

Well, you've all seen it

for yourselves.

CommissionerJameson has just ejected

the press from the tribunal room.

- What the hell?

...following Achilles's decision...

not to fight Alexander

in a rematch next Saturday.

We can only surmise that

Achilles's decision was based on...

the death of 300-plus

spectators earlier today.

Well, there you have it, fans.

Achilles, one of the greatest robojox

ever to fight in the Tribunal...

has chosen to retire.

- Our day has come early.

- All right.

One week before the first

of you is tested in battle.

Interesting he should
