The toons rejoined in the crowd as Tornado, armed with the spinning disc, entered the arena.
"TORNADO!"
The crowd cheered as Furrball looked on from the left control pod.
"Go Furrball!", Fifi shouted. Just then, Pussycat entered from the opposite gate on all four wheels.
"PUSSYCAT!"
The crowd cheered again as Pussycat brought its weapon down & faced toward Tornado.
"ROBOTEERS, STAND BY!"
"At the controls of Tornado is Furrball Cat, who made quick work of Rat & Gemini, and Sweetie Bird with Pussycat, victorious over Clawed Hopper & Fluffy. Our House Robots this time around, Sgt. Bash with the flamethrower, and Sir Killalot, with the basilisk's stare. Look him in the eye & you'll be dead."
"3...2...1...ACTIVATE!"
"Tornado now has the spinning disc here. Let's see how well it'll do against Pussycat."
The match started with Pussycat swerving around Tornado as both robots spun up their weapons. The robots then faced each other & charged head-on.
The impact sent Pussycat up onto all four wheels as Tornado shoved Sweetie's robot into the wall, doing a bit of damage with its disc.
"Tornado with a push & a shove, pinning Pussycat against the arena side-wall."
As Pussycat struggled to escape, Tornado continued pushing Sweetie's robot into a CPZ, where Sgt. Bash is waiting.
Pussycat got knocked upside-down as the House Robot shot out a blast of fire at Tornado, who quickly reversed out. Pussycat got behind Sgt. Bash & made a quick escape.
Pussycat then drove past Tornado, before the two bots faced each other. Both bots accelerated & once they came in contact, Pussycat, with its disc spinning down due to being inverted, was knocked up on all four wheels again.
Tornado started pushing Pussycat again until its disc came in contact with Pussycat's top-right wheel & ripped it clean off.
"Both robots with a HUGE head-on collision, and off comes a wheel of Pussycat! Damaged caused by the spinning disc of Tornado!"
Pussycat drove forward & halted to bring its blade back down & drive right-side up again. Sweetie's robot is still running on two wheels.
Sweetie tried her best to maneuver her robot around Tornado, but Furrball kept the spinning disc of his machine facing toward Pussycat.
Tornado then got to Pussycat's side & started pushing Sweetie's robot again, with the disc ripping the tread off the bottom-right wheel.
"Tornado with another shunt on Pussycat, and I saw something come off there! I think that was a tyre off of Pussycat!"
Tornado plowed Pussycat into the wall & backed off. Sweetie drove her robot forward, but with one wheel running on its rim, Pussycat couldn't drive in a straight line.
Tornado chased after Pussycat & immediately targeted the other intact wheel Pussycat is currently running on. Once Furrball got his robot on the side of Pussycat, the red robot drove forward, its disc grinding up the side of Sweetie's robot.
Soon enough, Tornado's disc came in contact with Pussycat's wheel & smacked it off Sweetie's robot. Pussycat is now running on one treadless wheel.
"Off comes another wheel of Pussycat! The cat has lost an arm & a leg!"
Tornado continued shoving Pussycat around the arena until the disc tipped Sweetie's robot onto its side. Tornado then pushed Pussycat onto the flame jet, which blanketed the overturned robot in flames.
Pussycat tried to use its disc to drive off, since it's still driving on the wheel with no tread. However, the disc did nothing & Pussycat sat immobile over the flame jet.
"Pussycat, overturned & now over the flame jet! The cat is being shot down in flames!"
Tornado backed away as Sweetie tried everything she could to get Pussycat moving, but her robot stood still as the Refbot approached Pussycat & started the countdown.
"Oh no", Sweetie said as she started sweating. Not only is she aware that she's about to lose the fight, but she'll also be eaten by Furrball.
Sgt. Bash & Sir Killalot both sat by Pussycat, waiting for the Refbot's timer to reach 10. Once that happened, Tornado struck the side of Sgt. Bash & rammed the House Robot into the wall with such force. The rear armor of Sgt. Bash opened up & revealed the propane tank for the flamethrower.
Tornado backed away as Sgt. Bash showed no signs of life. Furrball rammed his robot into Sgt. Bash again & broke off the rear armor.
"Pussycat has been counted out! The nine lives of Pussycat are gone, up in smoke & flame!"
Sir Killalot approached Pussycat just as a shot of fire erupted from the flame jet & into Killalot's face, which made the House Robot retreat.
Furrball looked on & started laughing hysterically at what he sees: Sir Killalot is on fire.
"Furrball will be going through here- what's Furrball laughing at now? Oh! Killalot's on fire! The king of the House Robots is ablaze!"
Sir Killalot approached the Refbot, who started shooting the burning House Robot with its fire extinguisher, while the crowd cheered at Sir Killalot's misery.
Once Refbot stopped, the flame was only reduced, but not completely extinguished. The flame then quickly built itself to burning uncontrollably once again.
Meanwhile, Tornado rammed into the immobile Sgt. Bash again & knocked the propane tank loose. Tornado reversed & slammed into Sgt. Bash once more. This time the propane tank fell out of the House Robot.
"Poor Killalot, literally burning out of control- oh dear! Damaged caused to Sgt. Bash! The House Robots are taking severe damage here!"
Refbot made another attempt to completely get rid of the fire in Sir Killalot. This time, it was successful. Sir Killalot is no longer burning.
"'Ahhh, that felt so good.' Sir Killalot, hot under the collar."
"CEASE!"
The crowd cheered as Craig appeared at the balcony.
"What a fight, what a fight, what a fight! Not only did Pussycat get burned alive, but so did our own Killalot! Ain't it a shame, to be shot down in flames! Tornado, they go marching on!"
The crowd cheered loudly as Furrball looked over & saw that Fifi is happy for his victory.
"Way to go, Furrball!", Fifi shouted. Furrball then went over to where Craig is, who just started his chat with Sweetie.
"Sweetie", Craig started, "your robot, Pussycat, just got tossed around, torn apart, and went up in smoke. What do you say about that?"
Sweetie replied, "That's pretty much what's about to happen to me very shortly."
"What do you mean?"
"Furrball & I made a bet that if I won, he'd leave me alone, but if he won, then he'd eat me."
"You're joking?"
"No, he actually said that, and right in front of his girlfriend too!"
"I'm gonna have a talk with him", Craig said as the crowd started booing over Furrball's bet. Craig then turned to the blue cat.
"Furrball, I know you're a cat, and that it's part of your nature to eat birds, but...do you really want to eat her?"
"Absolutely", Furrball answered, before he snatched Sweetie in a blink of an eye & stared down at the frightened pink bird with a mischievous grin.
"Don't do zhis, Furrball", Fifi said as the toons looked on.
"Y'know, we're on live camera", Craig said. But Furrball slowly held Sweetie toward his mouth as the little bird closed her eyes in fear & defeat.
Next thing she knew, Sweetie felt Furrball's lips press against her as the blue cat gave Sweetie a kiss on her forehead. Sweetie then opened her eyes & looked up at Furrball.
"Psyche!", exclaimed the blue cat.
"Huh?", Sweetie asked in confusion.
"It was all a bluff, Sweetie. I did this to prove once & for all that I'm no longer a predator. I did this so I can earn your trust completely."
The toons smiled as the crowd cheered, seeing that Furrball will not eat Sweetie & never will.
Once Furrball released Sweetie, Craig spoke with Furrball again.
"Well, I'm quite flabbergasted. I've never seen a cat become friends with a bird before."
Furrball replied, "Yeah, well, ever since Fifi & I got together, my life has pretty much changed."
"You're Fifi's boyfriend?"
"Yep, and I'm living with her too."
"So, you're making friends with a bird & you have a skunk for a girlfriend? You are one unusual cat."
"Hey, what's wrong with being unusual? Besides, Sweetie tastes awful anyway."
"Well, all that aside, you're through to the semi-finals. Do you think you'll go all the way?"
"Only time will tell."
"Good luck out there. Ladies & gents, let's hear it for Tornado!"
The crowd cheered as Furrball waved to the spectators with a smile on his face.

In the pits, the toons cheered as Furrball appeared with Tornado on a cart.
"Good job, Furrball", Buster said as Fifi approached the blue cat.
"You deed well, mon amore", Fifi said before she kissed Furrball's cheek.
"Thanks", Furrball replied, blushing from the kiss. Just then, Sweetie appeared behind Furrball with the arena crew behind her, carrying Pussycat.
"Send it back to my pit table", Sweetie told the crew. They carried her robot away as the pink bird flew up to Furrball. "Thanks for not eating me, Furrball."
"You're welcome", said the blue cat. "I hope I earned your trust completely."
"Well, despite the fact that you nearly gave me a heart attack, I do trust you, Furrball."
"You won't have to worry about me eating you anymore."
"Good", Sweetie concluded, before Hamton spoke up.
"Well, it's time to get my robot ready."
"Me too", Dizzy said as he & Hamton went to get their bots ready for combat. Sneezer then looked up at Furrball & spoke.
"You know, I'm still...", the little mouse started, before he paused.
"Yes, Sneezer?", Furrball asked.
"I'm still curious about what happened between you & Sweetie at the junkyard."
Everyone turned to the cat & bird, neither looking too happy about telling what happened, since they both finally put an end to their rivalry.
"Well, uh...", Furrball started, feeling reluctant.
But then Sweetie said, "It all happened because of me. I was recording Furrball & Fifi making out, and Furrball chased after me & caught me. Then, he took me into his home and...it was chaos."
"What did he do?", Shirley asked.
"He chased me all over the place. I had no place to hide, I couldn't escape from his home, and I tried to fight him off, but he's always one step ahead of me."
"Yup", Furrball said, "I know all of your moves."
"Do you know...this one?", Sweetie asked as she pointed below Furrball's chin. The blue cat looked down, before Sweetie flicked his nose.
The toons all laughed as Furrball rubbed his nose with the back of his hand.
"I do now", Furrball commented.
"Anyway", Sweetie continued. "It was complete madness. It lasted an hour, yet it never ended."
"Heh, just like The Master of Disguise", Plucky commented.
"Well", Furrball said to Sweetie, "those were for all the chaos you've given me, so now we're even."
"I guess we are", Sweetie agreed. "But now, we can put all that aside & leave the past behind, right?"
"Absolutely. It's all in the past. No more fighting, no more chasing, it's all over now."
"Friends?", Sweetie offered a hand to Furrball.
"Friends", Furrball replied as he shook Sweetie's hand.
"Well", Buster started, "it's nice to see that you two are no longer enemies."
Babs then added, "We're glad to see you two become friends."
"Thanks", Furrball said with a smile. Just then, Hamton & Dizzy reappeared with Behemoth & Typhoon 2.
"It's robot fighting time!", Hamton declared as he wheeled his robot to the arena. Dizzy stopped in front of Fifi & bashfully pushed Typhoon 2 toward the purple skunk, his face turning pink.
Fifi giggled as she planted a kiss on Typhoon 2, before Dizzy took his robot to the arena. The rest of the toons headed back to the stands as Furrball brought his robot back to his pit table, before he rejoined the rest of the toons.

The battle board appeared on-screen & crossed out "PUSSYCAT" as Jonathan spoke up.
"The cat's 9 lives are all gone. Pussycat is out, and Tornado's going through here. Next up is Behemoth & Typhoon 2."
