==History & Tactics==
During the [[3132]] Championship's first round she fought against [[Kyle DePaik|Kyle "Bonegrinder" DePaik]]. Kyle and his ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]'' subjected Shayne's ''Zeus'' to an unholy pounding, but even with one leg savaged, and her gyros out of synch, Kirkpatrick managed an impressive last-minute victory with a point-blank alpha strike that tore open the heavier machine's torso and destroyed its gyros completely at the very moment it seemed DePaik would have landed the killing blow.<ref name=DAINN_p120/><ref name=DAINN_p282>''Dark Age: 3132-3134 INN'', p. 282: "3132 Solaris VII Championships Season Review (Part 1)"</ref>

Shayne defeated [[Omar Durand]] at [[The Factory]] to become the champion of [[3132]]. Though she nearly lost her first match, she then went on to beat all comers, even the previous year's champion until finally winning the final match.<ref name="DAINN_p120"/>
  
After the match, DePaik repeatedly challenged Kirkpatrick to a rematch, and rumor was that Kirkpatrick would meet the champion in a grudge match later the same week as the Grand Tournament.<ref name=DAINN_p282/>

She went on to win her second and third round combats without any problem.
 
 
 
For her fourth match, she was paired against [[Raul Kalso|"Ravager" Raul Kalso]] in the [[Davion Arena]]. She won that match, a victory by overheat, and was immediately challenged by Kalso to a grudge match.<ref name=DAINN_p288>''Dark Age: 3132-3134 INN'', p. 288: "3132 Solaris VII Championships Season Review (Part 4)"</ref>
 
 
 
Prior to her fifth match in the Grand Tournament, she fought both her grudge matches against Kyle DePaik and Raul Kalso. She won her grudge match against Kalso<ref name=DAINN_p293>''Dark Age: 3132-3134 INN'', p. 293: "3132 Solaris VII Championships Season Review (Part 6)"</ref> and she also won the rematch against DePaik, fought in the [[Boreal Reach|Davion Arena]].<ref name=DAINN_p288>''Dark Age: 3132-3134 INN'', p. 288: "3132 Solaris VII Championships Season Review (Part 4)"</ref>
 
  
For her fifth fight match, she was paired against [[Danai Liao-Centrella|Danai Centrella-Liao]], where she piloted a modified ''[[Phoenix Hawk]]'' in [[The Jungle]] against Danai's famous ''[[Centurion (BattleMech)|Centurion]]'', ''[[Yen-Lo-Wang]]''. Because of the thick growth of the Jungle minimizing her range advantage, Kirkpatrick was forced into contact range with Danai several times, close enough even for a few good swipes from the ''Centurion''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[hatchet]]. But maneuverability soon saved the day as Kirkpatrick's gift for jumping fire ate away the ''Centurion''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[shield]] and tore away its right leg. Disabled, Centrella-Liao lit off her surrender flare, ending the match.<ref name=DAINN_p293>''Dark Age: 3132-3134 INN'', p. 293: "3132 Solaris VII Championships Season Review (Part 6)"</ref>

Her semifinal match was forfeited when her potential rivals, [[Olivia Tyler|Olivia "Queen Liv" Tyler]] and [[David Strauss|"Daring" David Strauss]], incited a riot outside [[Silesia]] district's legendary [[Thor's Shieldhall]] and the [[Solaran Gaming Association]] disqualified both from the remainder of the Tournament.<ref name=DAINN_p292>''Dark Age: 3132-3134 INN'', p. 292: "3132 Solaris VII Championships Season Review (Part 5)"</ref>

Fighting in their trademark 'Mechs for this final battle, Shayne "Shockwave" Kirkpatrick stormed onto the floor with her 80-ton custom ''Zeus'', ''Thunderstorm'', to square off against Omar "Demolition" Durand and his ''[[Vulture]]'', ''Gravewalker''. Despite the championship being on the line, the fighting in [[Solaris City]]'s Montenegro sector was far more controlled than the brutal slugfests and no-holds-barred grudge fights both [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] faced in their climb to the top. Despite giving up twenty tons to Kirkpatrick's black and gold assault 'Mech, Durand's purple and gold heavyweight made up the difference with its maneuverability and its sophisticated array of Clan weapons that gave Kirkpatrick plenty to worry about. Shockwave was often forced to pull back as Durand raced across the open fields of the arena, and fought a largely cautious battle, working to pick off Omar's weapon-laden arms first. Though only partially successful—Kirkpatrick sheared off one arm after a full minute of combat—this tactic succeeded in putting Durand on the defensive. The winning move came, however, when Durand charged across the bridge connecting The Factory's two structures. Kirkpatrick, having stayed out of the time-ravaged buildings throughout the fight, suffered under several strikes launched from Durand's 'Mech as he raced back and forth along the platform, his 'Mech and movements vaguely reminding spectators of an old-style carnival shooting game. With each exchange, the two combatants further ravaged one another, until Durand's fifth pass, when Kirkpatrick unleashed a full alpha strike against his machine. Knocked off balance, the ''Vulture'' crashed off the bridge, its gyros destroyed between Shockwave's weapons fire and the fall.<ref name=DAINN_p313>''Dark Age: 3132-3134 INN'', p. 313: "3132 Solaris VII Championships Season Review (Part 8)"</ref>
 
 
 
Like an old-time gentleman, Omar accepted defeat and recognized Shayne's merit.
