Episode Nine
Battle Supreme
On the last episode, Axem Cobalt and Axem Titanium squared off in the final match of the tournament.  The rally shuffled back and forth, and after a while, their HP became depleted.  Now, after one last charge towards each other, they both have been KO�ed!  Who will win?  What are the tie breaking procedures?  Read and find out!

--------------------------------------------------

Jamey looks at the KO�ed fighters.

JAMEY:  Wow!  I don�t believe this!  As referee, I must announce the tie breaking rules!  The first person to get up and say they�re the King or Queen of Duelists becomes just that!

MIDNIGHT BLUE:  Well that took a lot of thought.

--------------------------------------------------

Three minutes later�

Titanium opens one eye, and then the other.  He slowly gets up.

JAMEY:  Titanium!  To win, you must claim you are the King of Duelists!  Now say it!

TITANIUM:  (exhaustedly) I�am�the�K-

Titanium faints.

TITANIUM:  (in his sleep) So�hungry�

JAMEY:  Oh!  I believe that doesn�t count, for we don�t accept incomplete sentences.

Cobalt slowly gets up.

JAMEY:  Let�s see if Cobalt is in the mood to talk!  Cobalt, claim yourself the Queen of Duelists!

COBALT:  (senselessly) How many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon?

Cobalt faints too.

JAMEY:�Two and a half?  Anyway, what the heck was that about?

Titanium gets up again.

JAMEY:  Let�s see if Titanium can manage this time�

Titanium breathes for a few seconds, and then looks at the audience.

TITANIUM:  (triumphantly) I AM THE KING OF DUELISTS!

The audience jumps back in surprise.

TITANIUM:  YOU HEARD ME!  I AM THE KING OF DUELISTS!

The audience quickly bursts with applause.

Cobalt gets up.

COBALT:  What?  What happened?  Did I win?

JAMEY:  I�m afraid not Cobalt.  Please try again.

COBALT:  Ah, shoot�

Cobalt walks back to the Contestant�s Building.

TITANIUM:  Wish time!  Wish time! Wish time!

Axem Fast gets up from his seat and instantly appears next to Titanium.

TITANIUM:  Wish time!  Wish time!  Wish time!

FAST:  Axem Fast says, �Shut up!�

Titanium shuts his mouth.

FAST:  Axem Fast will grant you one wish as long as it�s in my power.  Axem Fast wants you to say it�now.

The audience turns their full attention to Titanium.

TITANIUM:  Hmm�coming this far, I haven�t even thought about this�

Titanium�s stomach growls.

TITANIUM:  I know!  I wish�

JAMEY:  (thinking) Come on!  A new quiz show!

COBALT: (thinking) Harry Potter seven!

MIDNIGHT BLUE:  (thinking) World domination!

TITANIUM:�for a turkey sandwich!

Kever (who got arrested on the second episode) runs back into the stadium.

KEVER:  YOU�VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!  Wish for all his money!

POLICEMEN:  There he is!  Charge!

The policemen and Kever run out of the stadium.

On the other hand, Fast has Titanium�s sandwich ready.

FAST:  Axem Fast has granted your wish.

Fast hands the sandwich on a dinner plate.  Titanium snatches it and gobbles it down within seconds.

TITANIUM:  Hmm�I should have requested mayonnaise instead of mustard.

Titanium walks back to the Contestant�s building.

Back at the Contestant�s Building�

JKI:  Wow.  What a great wish�

STRIFE:  I couldn�t have said it better�

MIDNIGHT BLUE:  Fools!  This is an outrage!  These are the most idiotic things I�ve heard of!  Money!  Properties!  Planets!  Now those are real wishes!

Midnight Blue�s stomach growls.

MIDNIGHT BLUE:  But I could use a turkey sandwich�

COBALT:  Ultra Shrooms are just as good!

Cobalt eats a few to recover her HP.

COBALT:  710/710

SNOW:  Who needs food when you got absorbing powers?

Titanium walks in.

SNOW:  All hail to the king!  All hail to the king!

Everyone gets up.

JKI:  Now what do we do?

COBALT:  I don�t know.  It�s all up to what Jamey announces.

--------------------------------------------------

Back at the stadium�

JAMEY:  (thinking) What now?

Fast runs back to the arena.

FAST:  Axem Fast has an idea.

Fast whispers in Jamey�s ear.

JAMEY:  Great!  I�ll announce it right away.

Jamey turns on his microphone.

JAMEY:  By special request of President Fast, we will now hold a Battle Royal!  All competitors in the tournament, please report to the arena and fight in this free-for-all no-one�s-your-buddy contest!

STRIFE:  Me too.

JKI:  Me three!

SNOW:  I�m in too.

MIDNIGHT BLUE:  It wouldn�t be fun without me.

TITANIUM:  I won�t.

EVERYONE:  Why not?

TITANIUM:  Knowing you guys�sorry Cobalt, people, you�d all be aiming for me.

JKI:  Good point.  You stay behind while we have some fun.

Everyone but Titanium walks to the arena.

TITANIUM:  Besides, it�s bad to eat and then fight.
