Episode Four
The Power of the Elements
On the last episode, Axem Acid and JK Acid fought head to head in what was called the most sickening battle of the century.  Through a few clever moves, JK Acid was declared the victor.  The crowd is getting impatient, so it�s time to start our next battle, Bob-omb Tetra vs. Axem Strife!

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

JK Acid and Axem Acid walk in the Contestant�s Building.

SNOW:  That was some good battling there.

MOONLIGHT:  Really?  I didn�t watch.  I had my eyes closed.

ELITE:  Don�t worry, Moonlight.  I�ll tell you everything IN DETAIL.

MOONLIGHT:  Yuck.  I�ll pass.

COBALT:  Hey Acids, look what Midnight Blue discovered!

Cobalt points to a wall that looks like it was blown up by a Dark Sphere.  Inside the wall is a Heart Block.

A ACID:  Good.

Both Acids hit the Heart Block and recover their entire HP.

JK ACID:  300/300

AXEM ACID:  350/350

JKI:  So who�s up next?  The crowd�s starting to throw bottles at Jamey again.

STRIFE:  I am.

TETRA:  Me too.

MIDNIGHT BLUE:  That was easy.

MAGNUM:  Shut up, Midnight Blue.

MIDNIGHT BLUE:  Don�t start with me.

ILLUSION:  Strife, Tetra, you two better go before things get ugly for Jamey.

They walk through the metal doors to the arena.

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

Meanwhile�

Jamey is barely dodging the Coke bottles being hurled at him from the crowd.

KEVER:  Give us a fight or I�ll start hurling stones!

Jamey spots Strife and tetra walking toward the arena.

JAMEY:  Hold your stones, for our next battle is about to begin!  Bob-omb Tetra vs. Axem Strife!

The two fighters make it to the center of the ring and jump to opposite corners in a fighting position.

AUDIENCE:  Yay.

JAMEY:  Ready�FIGHT!

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

The battle begins.

BOB-OMB TETRA:  550/550

AXEM STRIFE:  500/500

Strife starts by charging at Tetra, getting ready for a Head butt.

Four walls suddenly surround Strife, trapping him.

TETRA:  Oh, you just ran into my Wind Walls!  Though attackable, they�ll stop you in your tracks.

STRIFE:  I know about this cheap little trick.  I�ll just plow through the walls.

Strife uses an Axe Tornado to destroy the Wind Walls.

TETRA:  Time to turn up the heat!

Tetra magically materializes 10 Fireballs and sends them to attack Strife.

STRIFE:  Tch.

Strife uses a Super Jump to avoid them.

The Fireballs stop where Strife jumped and shoot up towards him.

STRIFE:  HOLY SMOKES!

Strife Shoots to the left before they hit him, but the Fireballs keep following him.

TETRA:  Mwahahah!  Like a video game!

Strife shoots a bolt of energy at the Fireballs called the Quick Shot.

Strife manages to destroy six Fireballs, but gets hit by the other four.

Strife loses 100 HP.

BOB-OMB TETRA:  550/550

AXEM STRIFE:  400/500

Strife lands back on the ground and charges at Tetra.

TETRA:  This again?

Tetra summons four more Wind Walls to stop Strife.

Strife touches his axe and it magically turns into a sword (This is called the Axe Transformation).

Strife slashes through the walls and charges at Tetra.

Tetra shoots three Dark Spheres at Strife.

Strife dodges them and slashes Tetra with his sword.  He loses 85 HP.

BOB-OMB TETRA:  465/550

AXEM STRIFE:  400/500

TETRA:  Hey Strife, I�ve been wondering about something.

STRIFE:  What?

TETRA:  Are you thirsty?

STRIFE:  What kind of stupid question is that!  Focus on fighting.

TETRA:  OK.  I�ll just fix you up with a glass of water.

Tetra uses his Waver Wave attack.  A large tidal wave appears in front of him, ready to crash down.

STRIFE:  But I-

Strife is cut off by the tidal wave smashing down.

It engulfs Strife and even gets the audience soaked.

KEVER:  Arg!  I knew I should have packed my bikini trunks!

The tidal wave passes and Axem Strife is still standing, unmoved.

STRIFE:  What I was trying to say was I�m resistant to water-type attacks!

TETRA:  Then how about these elements?

Tetra shoots a few Fire Orbs and Dark Spheres.

Strife dodges most of them, but gets hit by two Fire Orbs and a Dark Sphere.

Strife loses 150 HP.

BOB-OMB TETRA:  465/550

AXEM STRIFE:  250/500

Strife shoots next to Tetra and tries to slash him with his sword (still under Axe Transformation).

Tetra dodges and shoots a gust of wind at Strife.

Strife also dodges and changes his sword back into an axe.

STRIFE:  Time for something new.

Strife starts to glow, powering up his Flash Attack.

Tetra shoots a Dark Sphere to stop him.

Strife unleashes his Flash.  A bright spark of light comes from Strife, destroying the Dark Sphere and blinding everyone watching.

Before the blinding effect wears off, Strife uses Quick Heal and then an Axe Tornado on Tetra.

Strife regains 50 HP and Tetra loses 150 HP.

BOB-OMB TETRA:  315/550

AXEM STRIFE:  300/500

Strife stops his Axe Tornado and runs around Tetra firing his Quick Shot.

Tetra manages to dodge all of them.  He then shoots a few Dark Spheres at Strife.

Strife jumps super high to avoid them and is out of sight.

TETRA:  (Thinking) No!  The Jump Axe!  I have to stop him while he�s preparing!

Tetra fires Light and Dark Spheres into the sky in hopes of hitting Strife.

Strife uses an Axe Transformation in midair and flies down with his sword and slashes Tetra.

Tetra loses 160 HP.

BOB-OMB TETRA:  155/550

AXEM STRIFE:  300/500

Tetra uses Wind Walls 3 times to layer the effect.

Strife gets busy slicing them with his sword.

While Strife does that, Tetra starts his Brimstone attack.

A portal to the place where bad little boys and girls go appears on the field.

STRIFE:  (thinking) Uh oh.  I don�t like the look of that attack.  I better take care of these Wind Walls fast!

Tetra points his portal toward the trapped Strife.

TETRA:  See ya, Strifey.

STRIFE:  Grr�

Tetra lets loose the attack and hundreds of Molten Fireballs blast at Strife.

The fireballs go through the Wind Walls and hit Strife, who�s using an Axe Tornado to break down the walls and block some of the attack.

Strife loses 175 HP.

BOB-OMB TETRA:  155/550

AXEM STRIFE:  125/500

STRIFE:  I�m impressed!  Your elemental powers are strong!

TETRA:  Yeah, I know�

They begin to charge at each other.

Tetra stops halfway and creates a hand of water.  He points a finger behind Strife.

TETRA:  Look!  King Bowser!

STRIFE:  Where?!

Strife looks frantically behind him.

Tetra fires a Dark Sphere at Strife and he loses 100 HP.

BOB-OMB TETRA:  155/550

AXEM STRIFE:  25/500

STRIFE:  Hey!  That�s not funny!

TETRA:  Yes it is.

Strife points behind Tetra.

STRIFE:  What�s Lord Bob-omb doing in the audience?

TETRA:  Really?!  Where?

Tetra looks calmly behind him.

What Strife doesn�t know is Tetra knows he pulling the same trick.

What Tetra doesn�t know is Lord Bob-omb is really sitting the in audience.

TETRA:  Holy cats!  It really is him!

Strife slashes the distracted Tetra and Tetra loses 85 HP.

BOB-OMB TETRA:  70/550

AXEM STRIFE:  25/500

TETRA:   Clever�quite clever�

STRIFE:  Yeah.

TETRA:  It�s a shame that all your efforts will be useless though.

STRIFE:  Great.  Why does everyone say that?!  It gives me a headache.

TETRA:  Because it�s true!  My final attack is called Halo.  It will sap 25 HP from you and will do so for a total of five turns!

STRIFE:  What?  No!

Tetra materializes a Halo and tosses it above Strife.

It lands on top of Strife.

TETRA:  The stage is set!  Let the fun begin!

STRIFE:  Grr�

The halo starts to take away the last of Strife�s HP.

The process stops and Strife regains 25 HP.

BOB-OMB TETRA:  70/550

AXEM STRIFE:  50/500

TETRA:  What?  My halo is instead REGENERATING you?

STRIFE:  Not exactly.  I used Quick Heal!  It restores 50 HP, which counter acts your cheap little Halo!

TETRA:  No!  I have to stop him!

Tetra shoots Dark Spheres at Strife!

Strife dodges, uses Quick Heal and lets the Halo sap his HP and he regains 25 HP total.

Strife keeps doing this for three more turns.

BOB-OMB TETRA:  70/550

AXEM STRIFE:  150/500

STRIFE:  It is now I who has the upper hand!

Tetra fires a few Dark Spheres at Strife.

Strife dodges them all and fires a Quick Shot.

Tetra loses 25 HP.

BOB-OMB TETRA:  45/550

AXEM STRIFE:  150/500

STRIFE:  All I have to do is keep dwindling down your HP until it�s no more!

TETRA:  No! I won�t let that happen!

Tetra creates two water fists and launches them at Strife.

TETRA:  Hydraulics attack!

The fists crush Strife between them.

STRIFE:  What are you doing?  I still can resist water!

TETRA:  Oh, dang�

Strife charges at Tetra with his axe raised after an Axe Transformation.

Tetra blows him back with a Windstorm and Strife flies backward.

He lands face flat in the arena, but lost 20 HP.

BOB-OMB TETRA:  45/550

AXEM STRIFE:  130/500

Tetra jumps back and shoots a few Fireballs.

TETRA:  Arg!  No fair!
