The Tax Collectin' Boogie Machine Max surged out of the water
and across the beach towards the Deathpanzer.
Ronnie laid in the firing solution for the charging VM, planning
to blast it right back where it had come from. "Given up on hiding,
peon? Guess I'll have to terminate you now," he gloated.
Mustard said nothing, but stowed his mecha's serrated axes on
its back. A bright, scintillating flare began to build around
the Boogie Machine, condensing into a bright energy sphere in
the palm of its right hand.
"Terminate this!" he growled as it discharged, streaking towards
the Deathpanzer.
An instant later, Ronnie's terror tank was little more than a
smudge at the center of a 1000 meter fireball, slowily rising
into a mushroom cloud. Glowing, golden letters appeared in the
air, hovering over the TCBMM like a halo as the shockwave buffeted
it.
"GAME OVER... SUCKER", they read.

"A Day at the Beach"
An arena for Virtual Mekton
This is a very simple, uncomplicated level. It has a sandy beach
stretching into desert on one side, sea on the other, and the
occasional mecha-size palm tree. This'll be an easy one!
The Sea:
There's lots of water here. The beach gradually shelves off into
deep water, way over the head of any mecha. Aquatic Environmental
Protection is appropriate, but the map ends before High Pressure
is also needed. Giant crabs live in it, with 30 kills apeice,
a claw attack that does 8 kills, and a bite that does 5. There
are also patches of seweed and a sunken ship, all of which might
contain powerups.
The Desert:
Lots of sand, lots of giant ants. they have 5 kills each, a 5
kill bite, and attack in groups of one more than the GM thinks
the player can handle easily. Desert Enviro is needed here. Giant
anthills can be entered and travelled down a little ways, where
powerups can be found.
The Beach:
Where the ocean meets the land. Environment is moderate, meaning
that those without any special Enviroment Protections can hang
out here and not get killed by the arena itself. Palm trees are
scattered around, a few of which have powerup coconuts.. The Infamous
Bomb seems quite appropriate in this instance. Both giant ants
and giant crabs can be found here, however.. sometimes fighting
each other.
Notes:
The giant critters are just dumb drones, the supply of which lasts
as long as the GM wants. Considering the danger involved in going
into either of their home enivironments to get powerups, they
should probably respawn as well, as long as the critters do.
