A childhood tragedy at sea leaves one woman with a lifelong obsession. For the Battle of the Mods!

...unfortunately the next night there was a terrible storm, and a power outage or something. Possibly killer clowns roaming the streets, and missing penguins. Anyway, the NEXT next night a small group of curious survivors crept up to Capy's Grim Pizza, drawn by the strange lights and music. Scrubbing clean a corner of a grimy window, they peered inside. One of the machines did indeed seem to be active! Of course, being a bunch of reprobates and delinquents, the half of the group that hadn't already wandered off to drink or make out in dark alleys had no trouble prying open the back door, almost definitely indicating some kind of latent homosexuality. The jaunty music flooded the street as they entered, and upon closer examination it was plain that somehow, the old Thunderdome: Battle of the Mods game was playing itself. "Holy shit, that machine isn't even plugged in!" someone observed. As they all watched, the part of the display that said Credits flickered and booped, and enough for two matches appeared. But who would win?
