Fight Night

Maleekdbz Fantasy

In the year 2105, World War IV looked to be the end of the world. Nearly every major city in the world was a bombed-out ruin, and over a quarter of the population was left dead, all of this without the use of nuclear weapons. But they were coming, and everyone knew it. Only, they never did because someone released the Weapon Virus. The Weapon Virus came in the form of microbots, trillions of them released into Earth’s atmosphere. They proceeded to attack and destroy every form of ballistic, energy, chemical, or nuclear weapons. It simply devoured them all. In a single night, humanity was sent back to the Middle Ages before the first gun was invented.No one ever knew who released the Weapon Virus, and many have tried to get around it, but the virus simply got smarter. More guns were made only to be devoured before they were ever fired. Not even firearms of the simplest design were permitted. So, they went back even further and started making swords, bows, and arrows. The virus took the swords but left the bows and arrows. Until someone tried to use them against another human, then the virus took that bow. They could be used for hunting animals but not hurting people. The same went for poisons, knives, pipes, bats, bottles, and any other object. Anytime someone raised a weapon to intentionally hurt another person, that weapon disappeared. They tried to wipe out the microbots, but nothing they tried worked. The bots had become enmeshed in the atmosphere of the planet. Eventually, they gave up, and this new way of life was accepted. But even without weapons, humans would still find ways to kill each other, be it much slower and on smaller scales because the human body itself is a weapon. Martial arts were around long before guns, and as the years passed, hand-to-hand combat has become the one way to violently settle disputes and wage wars, and combat sports have become the world’s top form of entertainment. By the year 2150, one event stands above them all. It happens once a year and pulls in a thousand fighters from around the world. Boxers, kickboxers, street fighters, mixed martial artists, cops, and soldiers. Anyone who has proven their skills in combat that year is invited to the City of the Fist, where the world will watch them compete in the week-long event of champions: Fight Night. In this event, the fighters roam a small city fighting each other in bouts that only end once their opponents are dead or unable to continue. But the fighters from outside will also have to contend with the fighters who call the City of the Fist home: the Tribe of the Fist. It is the ultimate test of skill, endurance, and fortitude. It is Fight Night!
