Ivan seemed amazed at the masses of people. Being newly built, he wasn’t really used to anything like this. His head spun rapidly to take notice of all of his surroundings. He stared at the people especially, they looked nothing like the few people he had seen before. By his side marched the Soviet Bear machine, towering over Ivan as well as pretty much anyone else since he was 12 feet tall. The Bear spoke to the IA-5 bot with motivational remarks to prepare him. It might have reminded one of a boxer and their coach, getting ready for their match. As the sun set, the Bear took Ivan to their quarters and did some last minute scans through his system to make sure everything was ready. The Bear, being much older and wiser than Ivan, knew what awaited them in the arena. However, the bear had faith in their victory, for he had implemented some of even his own best combat systems into the IA-5. They left their door open for any visitors in case someone felt like entering while they worked. [spoiler]Open[/spoiler]
