| The three allied Axems walked around Strife and stood in a triangular formation around him. He was only able to look at two at a time, so he was at a disadvantage. AXEM THUNDER: Three-on-one? Man, you�re dumb. Any one of us could take you alone, Axem�uh, what�s your name? AXEM STRIFE: Strife. I�ve got a question, do you want to make this long and interesting, and go one on one until it�s over, or just go all three at once to get it done quickly? AXEM DESTRUCTION: Let�s get it over with quick, so we can go back up Thunder Elemental. AXEM STRIFE: Who? The three just stared at him. AXEM THUNDER: Our boss� AXEM STRIFE: Oh, sorry. My memory isn�t that great. AXEM GREAT WATER: More like you memory isn�t that great. AXEM STRIFE: Uh�That�s what I said. AXEM GREAT WATER: More like that�s what I said. AXEM STRIFE: Er� Let�s just battle. AXEM STRIFE 500/500 AXEM GREAT WATER 490/490 AXEM THUNDER 500/500 AXEM DESTRUCTION 600/600 Thunder and Destruction fired Lightening Bolts and Great Water fired a water orb. They all missed, despite the fact that it was point-blank range. He was simply there, then not. The attacks negated each other. AXEM DESTRUCTION: What the heck? AXEM STRIFE: The old man stuck on the ceiling, he had no hearing- NOTE: Strife�s previous statement is part of a nursery rhyme from Bob. The other three looked up and saw Strife hanging from the ceiling, 30 feet up. He was using his left arm (the suit one) to hang like a monkey from the perfectly smooth ceiling. AXEM GREAT WATER: Whoa, how�d you get up there? AXEM STRIFE: I jumped. Strife stuck out his tongue and blew the raspberry. Thunder growled and raised his hand to perform an attack. However, Strife was just too quick. The helmet portion of his head contained the visor (which functioned as his eyes). It changed from green to white, then flashed incredibly bright. His enemies were stunned by this, and temporarily all they could see was white. AXEM STRIFE: YAY! He then fired off several energy bolts as he dropped to the ground amidst them. The blue blasts were insanely fast. All three of the Axems were hit by 3, and lost 99 HP each. Strife landed in the middle and put his axe in front of him. AXEM STRIFE: Well that sucks. He started to spin in circles like a top, with his axe outstretched. He hit Thunder twice, Destruction thrice, and missed Great Water, who had stumbled back due to his impaired vision. Thunder lost 100 HP, and Destruction 150. AXEM STRIFE 500/500 AXEM GREAT WATER 391/490 AXEM THUNDER 301/500 AXEM DESTRUCTION 351/600 Thunder recovered his sight first. He shot a Lightning Bolt into Strife�s back, then nailed him in the torso with his axe handle. The lightning caused 10 damage, and the blow did 25. AXEM STRIFE: Ouff! AXEM THUNDER: How�d that do so little? Strife spun around, glared at Thunder, then shot a bolt of lightning from his mouth at Axem Thunder. It was blue, and relatively fast (for most Axems that is; it was pretty slow for Strife). It hit and did no damage to Thunder. AXEM THUNDER: Ah, you too possess the power of electricity. Too bad it�s not strong enough to hurt me. AXEM STRIFE: That�s wha- He was knocked over by Destruction, who had leveled him with a Super Axe Swing, which was just a charged up axe attack. It did 70 damage. Strife rolled along the ground and stopped about 5 feet away from the opponents. Unfortunately for him, Great Water (the last to regain his sight) was behind him. AXEM DESTRUCTION: Man, your defense must be high. Strife glanced around, fired another bolt of lightning at Destruction, this time purple, and went cruising away from the other Axems quickly (about the length of a blink). He ended up 20 feet away. NOTE: This was Strife�s Shoot ability. Destruction teleported out of the way of the lightning bolt, and was about 5 feet short of Strife. The bolt turned and homed in on Thunder. It caused a whopping 150 damage. AXEM THUNDER: What? It was electricity! It can�t cause that much damage to me! Destruction tried to kick Strife with his spiked feet, but Strife hit him with a Quick Shot. This made Destruction lose 33 HP. Strife used Quick Heal and regained 50 HP. NOTE: A Quick Shot is the blue blast mentioned earlier. AXEM STRIFE 445/500 AXEM GREAT WATER 391/490 AXEM THUNDER 151/500 AXEM DESTRUCTION 318/600 AXEM STRIFE: And to answer your question Thunder, wait, what was your question? AXEM THUNDER: I�ll show you who�s boss! Your electricity can�t be that strong! AXEM STRIFE: It�s all in the suit, all in the suit. Strife fired another Amethyst Lightning (the purple homing one) and swung his axe at Destruction. It was blocked, but the lightning bolt couldn�t be. Thunder lost 150 and had only 1 HP left. Destruction�s strength was slightly more than Strife�s so he pushed Strife back. Strife quickly regained his balance, but he was hit by Great Water diving at him, axe-first. He lost 70 HP. AXEM GREAT WATER: Pummel him! The three allies surrounded Strife and started to punch, kick, and basically just beat the crud out of him. He had lost 200 HP when he fired a white blast of energy at all 3 of his opponents. This slowed them all down. Because he was already quicker, he darted out of the middle of them. He fired another purple lightning bolt and KO�d Thunder. AXEM STRIFE: Haha! You guys are going down! AXEM GREAT WATER: No! It�s you who�s going down! Way down! Destruction turned to shot Thunder with a bolt of electricity, which would revive him. AXEM STRIFE: I�m afraid I can�t let you do that, sir. Another Quick Shot hit Destruction�s head, causing 33 damage. He retaliated by teleporting very close Strife and attempting to fire some Energy Orbs into Strife�s head. Strife raised his left arm in front of his face. The energy orbs were absorbed by Strife�s suit. Strife used his cyborg-type leg to kick Destruction�s chest causing 100 damage. Destruction keeled over and started to gasp. AXEM DESTRUCTION: Air�Need air� Strife stared at Destruction for a moment, glanced at Great Water who was charging up a huge water orb, and poked Destruction in the eyes. This made him lose another 10 HP. Strife immediately turned to face Great Water. Destruction clamped his hand to his face in pain. AXEM DESTRUCTION: Argh! Oh my gosh! Seriously man, why would you do that? Why? AXEM STRIFE 175/500 AXEM GREAT WATER 391/490 AXEM THUNDER 0/500 KO�d AXEM DESTRUCTION 175/600 Great Water fired the large orb of water at Strife. It was so large; Strife probably couldn�t have dodged, even if he tried. However, he didn�t. He just stood there and let it go over him. Nothing happened. AXEM GREAT WATER: What? AXEM STRIFE: Oh yeah, I�m resistant to water. AXEM GREAT WATER: Punk! He threw his axe at Strife�s head. Strife jumped into the air and the attack went into Destruction�s stomach. It caused 125 damage. Unfortunately for Great Water, Destruction had fired a pair of lightning bolts at Strife, just before he jumped. The two of them hit Great Water and KO�d him due to his elemental disadvantage. Destruction teleported towards Great Water�s body, which was not a good idea. Strife had been aiming to hit Great Water with his Jump Axe attack, and instead he KO�d Destruction as he came down from his jump. AXEM STRIFE: What a bunch of losers� Okay, what was I supposed to do now? End of Episode 32 |
