The battle between Axem Inferno and Jr. Koopa Warlock rages on!!!! Warlock was using his sun beam attack, that can defeat an opponent in one hit.

Inferno-400/500

Warlock- 230/700

Inferno (Thinking)- I'm getting too tired to dodge these.... This doesn't look good.....

Inferno was barely able to roll aside as a beam hit the ground near him. It created a crater and showered Inferno with dirt.

Inferno (Thinking)- I have to make myself faster! If I use this ability, I will lose my healing power, but I'm just so tired...

Inferno stood up, and side stepped another beam from Warlock. He started himself on fire.

Warlock- Healing yourself, huh? Well, that won't save you from my sun beam! (Fires another beam)

But, this time the fire didn't go out. Warlock realized that Inferno WAS the fire.

Inferno had used his Ablaze ability. He jumped aside from the beam with surprising speed.

Warlock- So, it seems you have some tricks up your sleeves!

Inferno, with his new agility, ran toward Warlock, so he couldn't use his sun beam.

As he ran, he turned into a fireball, and shot at Warlock, but he dove out of the way.

Warlock shot a magic blast at Inferno, but he easily dodges it. Warlock gets an idea.

Warlock- Time to put this fire out!

Warlock raises his arms, then sent a tsunami blast at Inferno.

He watched the tidal wave slowly approaching, tearing up the turf of the forest floor, sending splashes of mud every where.

Inferno- Oh no! Fire and water doesn't mix well..

Warlock- Awww... Is the baby gonna cry?

Warlock raised a hand, and the water started heading for Inferno much faster.

Inferno knew he couldn't dodge this attack. The fire that was his hands grew brighter, and he clapped them together, creating a fire wall shield.

Warlock- You are a greater fool than I thought! Your pitiful flames won't stand a chance against my tsunami blast!

Inferno watched the approaching water, concentrating on his fire wall barrier. Then, the remotest tip of the fire wall turned.... blue.

Warlock- What's this?

The blue slowly spread over the flames, water proofing the fire shield. Inferno grunted, as he was putting alot of energy into this.

Warlock, realizing Inferno was up to something, raised both his arms a sent the tidal wave roaring at Inferno.

The split second the wave was about to hit, the rest of the fire wall turned blue.

Warlock- ARGH!

The water clashed furiously against the fire, but it held firm.

Slowly, the tidal wave lost it's strength, and dissipated.

The fire wall disappeared as well. Now most of the clearing was mud. Inferno, exhausted, sat down.

He lost 150 hp from water that splashed over his flame wall.

Inferno- 250/500

Warlock- 230/700

Warlock- I'll destroy you yet!

Inferno- Don't count on it!

Warlock did something unexpected.

He jumped up in the air, and didn't come back down. He slowly floated higher and higher above Inferno.

A sparkling cloud was forming around one of his hands.

Warlock- I forgot to tell you that I can fly.

Inferno- I forgot to tell you that i can fly too!

With that, Inferno turned into a fire ball and floated up to meet Warlock, who flew up even higher, and started shooting out magic blasts at Inferno, one of his hands still sparkling.

Inferno dodged, and shot fire balls at Warlock. They spiraled higher and higher into the sky, unable to hit each other as they dodged to and fro.

Warlock- Fool, you let me charge up my attack!

Inferno- Huh?

Warlock flew right above Inferno, and sent a magic blast flying at him.

He dived down, like a swooping hawk, firing many magic blasts at Inferno, forcing him to land on the ground.

Inferno was so much faster in his ablaze state however, he dodged every single one.

Warlock landed beside Inferno, and raised his sparkling hand.

Warlock- Good-Bye Inferno, the damage from this attack is more than enough to KO you.

Inferno- We will see-

Before Inferno could finish, Warlock took off his protective shell.

Holding it in front of him, his glowing hand flashed once, then the sparkling cloud flew down and covered the shell, causing it to glow in a rainbow of colors.

This sparkling cloud was magic in its purest form.

Warlock- As I said before, good-bye Inferno!

Inferno- Grrrrrrr......

Warlock threw his shell at Inferno, who dodged it.

Inferno- Nice attack, Warlock.

What Inferno didn't notice was that the shell had turned around and was heading for him again!

Inferno was only saved by his axem reflexes.

Warlock held up his hand. He pointed to the right. For a moment the shell just hung there, spinning around and around, with nothing spinning it. Then, it shot to the right, making a whirring sound as it sliced through the air.

He pointed to the left, with the same result. Warlock pointed at Inferno.

Warlock- Toodle-loo

The shell spun at Inferno. The light from the shell blinded him, and the only thing he could hear over the whirl was Warlock laughing.

Inferno (Thinking) INFERNO! Snap out of it!

Inferno jumped up right before the shell hit him. The shell kept going, and smashed into..... the table of potions.

Inferno- Wh-

Warlock- Hu-

SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In one split second 4 things happened.

1. Warlock, in reflex mainly, started to pull the vial with the Axem creating potion toward him using his magic powers.

2. The potion that would turn the axem evil was closest to where the shell hit, and went flying through the air.

3. The potion that would cause the axem to mature extra fast exploded and splattered over everything.

4. The bottles containing the pure elements cracked and caused the elements to meet all at once, which made a gigantic explosion.

This explosion ripped the magic from Warlock's shell, and sent the shell flying away.

Some of the magic splashed into the elements, causing a even bigger explosion, which caused some of the vial's that was flying toward Warlock contents to splash over and hit the magic, and the escaped elements. More of the elements mixed, and sent Warlock, his shell, Inferno, all that was left of the potions, and several trees flying over the horizon.

Blue hacked his way through piranha plant after piranha plant. He was a skilled warrior, but this was to much! Plus, he had Tayce T. to watch after.

Tayce T.- GET IT AWAY! ACK!

Blue turned around and shot a energy sphere at the piranha plant that was threatening Tayce T. with its razor sharp teeth.

He then had to kick one out of the way, and slash another with his axe to avoid being bitten. But more just blocked the path.

Blue- Next time there is an opening, I am afraid we will have to run.

Tayce T.- I can't! I'm a Toad! I wasn't made for running or fighting like a.. a... whatever you are!

Blue- (Dodging a piranha plant) I am an axem. Now, RUN!

With Blue's axe paving the way, they burst through the under brush, having to make a sharp turn to get away from a wall of oncoming piranha plants.

Eventually, they got ahead of the swarm.

Tayce T.- (Looking back) Axem thing! They're following us! What will we do!? They will just chase us until they catch us! WHAT SHOULD WE DO!?

Blue- Do not worry, there are more axems at my mansion.

Tayce T.- More is good.....

????- The more the merrier!

Something jumped in front of them. It looked like Blue in alot of ways, but was also very different. For one thing, this creature wasn't blue colored.

Tayce T.- AHHHHH! It's even worse then the piranha plants!

Blue- You have no reason to be scared, he is another axem, like me.

Skull- Thats right! I'm Axem Skull! Blue, what have you got your self into this time? I was just coming to pay you a visit, and I find you being chased by a horde of piranha plants!

Blue- It seems piranha plants are less tropical then they used to be. Come, we shall go to the mansion and get the others to help us.

Skull looked at the advancing stampede.

Skull- Fine with me!

They ran off.

Not so far away, in some bushes a secret meeting takes place.

??- Yesss, yesss! The more the merrier! Now, as long as Warlock playsss hisss part well, everything will all work out!

?- Yes, it does all remain on his head. I hope we can trust him. He should be here, with the new axem, in two hours.

??- I hope he is on time, for hisss sssake.....

In the same forest he was in before, Warlock hits the ground with a thud.

Warlock- 1/700

Weakly, he tries to sit up, but can't.

Gritting his teeth, Warlock spits out some mud he swallowed in his crash landing. He notices that his nose is bloody from the fall too.

He is very happy to find the vial is still in his hand, mostly full.

Warlock- That Inferno..... he.. he... ruined everything...... If only... he was here now.... I would...

His shell comes flying through the air and hits him in the head. He loses his one hp and is knocked out.
