Episode Three
Beware of Toxic Waste
On the last episode, the tournament started in the first battle between Axem Illusion and Axem Elite!  Illusion and Elite showed their destructive powers, against each other, but Illusion�s were stronger.  The next battle of the tournament is about to begin:  Axem Acid vs. JK Acid.  Who will win the world�s most intoxicated battle?

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

Jamey stands alone next to the levitating arena, looking at the stars.

JAMEY:  It�s the first day of the tournament, and I�m up late in the night, playing referee...

Jamey grins.

JAMEY:  There is a god.

Finally, he sees both Axem Acid and JK Acid walking toward the stadium.  He whips out his cordless microphone.

JAMEY:  And here comes our next pair of fighters!  Axem Acid vs. JK Acid!

AUDIENCE:  Hurray.

Both Acids walk to opposite sides of the ring, getting ready to strike.

JAMEY:  Remember, no whining, eye poking, or hitting directly below the belt.

AUDIENCE:  Ha.

JAMEY:  Ready�FIGHT!

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

The battle begins.

JK ACID:  300/300

AXEM ACID:  350/350

JK Acid starts by withdrawing into his shell and using a Shell Toss.

A Acid changes his sludge like shape into a tunnel beneath him to avoid it.

JK Acid pops out of his shell.

JK ACID:  Hehehe�what you don�t know will hurt you!

A ACID:  ?

NOTE:  Axem Acid doesn�t talk that much.

The chunk of arena A Acid is standing on gives in under him, hitting the ground.

JK ACID:  Acid simply burns through the cheap material this ring is made of!

JAMEY:  Hey!  Don�t tell me anything that I buy is cheap!

JK ACID:  Whatever.  Anyway, my opponent is out of the ring, so therefore, I win!

FAST:  Axem Fast launches a protest!

The audience turns their attention to Axem Fast.

FAST:  Axem Fast says, �Axem Acid is still standing on the arena!�

It is true.  A Acid is still standing on the chunk of arena that was taken out.

FAST:  Axem Fast wants this battle to resume NOW.

JAMEY:  You heard the axem!  Resume battle!

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

The battle resumes.


JK ACID:  300/300

AXEM ACID:  350/350

A Acid uses Gaia.  A large slab of acid blasts out of him.

AUDIENCE:  Yuck.

JK Acid stands still and lets him get covered.

JK ACID:  Out of all the fighters I know, the last one I�d expect to not know acid absorbs acid.

A ACID:  �

A Acid charges with his axe raised.

JK Acid uses his shell toss.

A Acid starts his Acid Axe, Doubling the attack of his axe for a turn, though it is still weak.

A ACID:  Taste Acid!

JK ACID:  Huh?

A Acid slashes the surprised JK Acid and he loses 70 HP, because he has low defense.

JK ACID:  230/300

AXEM ACID:  350/350

JK ACID:  You finally break your streak of silence.

A ACID:  You heard me talk before.  Anyway, I always say, �Taste Acid!� while using Acid Axe.  Why...I don't know...

JK ACID:  Yeah�right.

JK Acid starts by using a poison gas attack.  A cloud of gas rushes toward A Acid.

A ACID:  (thinking) What is he doing?!  He knows poison absorbs poison!  I guess only time will tell.

JK Acid blows fire out of his mouth too.  The gas and fire mix to make a wave of fire.

A Acid fails to dodge and loses 125 HP.

JK ACID:  230/300

AXEM ACID:  225/350

JK ACID:  I just learned something about myself:  I�m hot!

JK Acid laughs uncontrollably.

A ACID:  �

JK Acid stops and starts another Hot Poison attack.

A Acid runs up to JK ACID preparing to strike with his axe.

JK Acid stops his Hot Poison to withdraw in his shell.  He starts to spin towards A Acid for a Shell Toss.

A Acid stops and shoots a yellow beam of light out of his mouth.

It hits JK Acid, but doesn�t do any damage.

JAMEY:  What�s this?  Did Axem Acid�s attack fail?

JK Acid slams into A Acid and he loses 95 HP.

JK ACID:  230/300

AXEM ACID:  130/350

JK Acid pops out of his shell.

JK ACID:  Did you attack me earlier?  �Cause I didn�t feel a thing.

A ACID:  I attacked.

JK Acid loses 50 HP.

JK ACID:  180/300

AXEM ACID:  130/350

JK ACID:  NO!  What happened!

A ACID:  It�s called Venom.  You will lose 50 HP for every attack you hit me with.

JK ACID:  No fair!  You cheated!

A ACID:  Did not.

JK ACID:  Did too!

JAMEY:  I see where this is going to, so stop before anything happens.

A Acid charges and starts an Acid Axe.

JK Acid gets ready to dodge.

A ACID:  Taste Acid!

A Acid slashes, but misses.

JK ACID:  I�m mainly a puddle of acid, what do you expect?

A Acid slashes again, but this time, he hits.

JK ACID:  Arg!

He loses 75 HP.

JK ACID:  105/300

AXEM ACID:  130/350

JK ACID:  Grr�if you keep doing that, you�ll win.  If I attack you a lot, I�ll lose.

A ACID:  Yup.  That�s my strategy.

JAMEY:  Hey!  It�s kinda of like a trick I heard!  Where one person flips a coin and they say, �Heads I win, tails you lose!�  You can�t win!

JK ACID:  Then I�m a hopeless wreck.

A ACID:  Not necessarily.

JK ACID:  Huh?

A ACID:  A fight has a lot to do with the strategies and the power, but you must know it�s also about believing in yourself.  If you don�t believe in your ability to win, you�ll never have a goal to achieve.  So you might as well stop your groping and start believing!

JAMEY:  Wow�how inspiring.

JK ACID:  What?  I wasn�t listening.

A ACID:  �

JK Acid charges at A Acid.

A Acid jumps up and gets ready to come down while slashing.

JK Acid blasts a blob of sludge at A Acid.

A Acid regains 75 HP, and JK Acid loses 50 HP due to Venom.

JK ACID:  55/300

AXEM ACID:  205/350

But because of that attack, A Acid is stuck in a blob of sludge.

AUDIENCE:  Yucky�

It falls down on the arena, with A Acid still trapped inside.

JK ACID:  Yes!  It worked!

JK Acid picks up the blob and throws it on the ground next to the ring, then dematerializes the blob.

A Acid drops down and touches down, outside of the ring.

JAMEY:  There you have it folks!  The battle is over, and the winner is JK ACID!

JK ACID:  Thank you, thank you!

A ACID:�Good job, my fellow intoxicating warrior.  I hope you win your next battle.

JK ACID:  Yeah, thanks!

They stick out their hands for a high five, and splash acid everywhere.

AUDIENCE:  AHH!

Paramedics rush through the audience, grabbing everyone who was hit by acid.

JK ACID and A ACID:�

AUDIENCE:  What!?  You�re killing us all!

JK ACID:  Don�t blame us!  Blame�Jamey!

JAMEY:  Huh?

Almost instantly, a shower of plastic Coke bottles fly towards Jamey.

END OF EPISODE THREE


AUTHOR�S NOTE: I didn�t really enjoy writing this episode.  I thought it would be cool for one acid warrior to go against another, but there were way too many disadvantages.  For one, most of their attacks wouldn�t work.  Acid absorbs acid!  Second, both of these warriors have amazing dodging skills, so I had to cut down on that.  Lastly, none of them have good physical strength, so I had to kick someone out of the ring.  If it wasn�t for these mistakes I made, I would�ve written much more.
