While Drizzile's fight with Runerigus took place, Scorbunny was in the midst of trying to figure out how to defeat Centiskorch. So far, every single blow she had dealt barely did a thing to him, but why? There had to be something she had done wrong.

Even so, there was no way she would give up. As such, she leapt backward into the ropes and bounced off, shouting, "BURNING ROCKET!" ramming her flaming heel into the centipede's midsection.

Once again, Centiskorch ignored the pain once again and took hold of the rabbit's foot. He flung her into the air and pointed his head up toward her, spreading out his flames and bending them like claws. And once she was close enough, he sent them right through her and held her in place, exclaiming, "HELL'S CLAW GRIP!"

Scorbunny winced in pain, but thanks to his words about her fire attributes earlier, she was able to ignore it this time. But just as it seemed like she would force herself free again, Centiskorch caught onto her strategy right away and took full advantage of the fact that she had descended upside down. He lowered his head quickly toward the mat and rammed the back of her head into the canvas, the rabbit coughing up blood.

The centipede removed his flames from Scorbunny while she lay there and breathed heavily. She could not believe it. She had dealt so little pain to him and yet she already felt like she was on the verge of death.

Centiskorch took a deep breath and pointed his tail at her before sighing, "I guess there's no point in stalling any longer. While your defeat would be good enough, I didn't ask for lava just so I couldn't use it. If you really were the fighter I thought you were, you could have avoided this outcome."

He then shoved his tail flames into her and shouted, "HELL'S CLAW GRIP!" lifting her up while she tried to find the strength to fight back.

Unfortunately, she was far too weak now. The fight had not even lasted that long and yet Centiskorch had managed to deal far more damage than Morgrem and Furfrou did in more within ten minutes. The rabbit let down tears and thought, 'Could it be that I'm not really the fighter I thought I was?'

However, her eyes narrowed as she growled, "No! I can't lose! Not like this!" flailing her body around while Centiskorch went down on all twenty twos. He crawled over to the edge of the ring and inched closer and closer to the lava that surrounded it.

The rabbit tilted her head, saw this and barked, "NO! I WON'T LET YOU DIP ME IN BOILING HOT LAVA!" She then used all her might to pry her legs out of the lower flames and swung her feet forward and into Centiskorch's face.

The centipede stopped his advances forward while his eyes widened and a small bit of blood flew out of his forehead. This was enough for him to release his hold on the rabbit before he bolted upright and held onto his forehead. Afterwards, he cried out in agonizing pain before falling on his back and shouting, "OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!? THAT HURT LIKE A BITCH!"

Scorbunny stared silently at this before she realized why her kicks earlier had been so weak. She had attacked the wrong spot this whole time. While Centiskorch had an amazingly strong body, his head seemed to be extremely weak considering a single kick was enough to draw blood.

But while this was a relief, the rabbit could not help but feel ashamed of herself. She had discovered this weakness entirely by accident. And it was because of this realization that she did not take full advantage of this opportunity and allowed the centipede time to recover from the blow to his face.

Centiskorch was about to yell at her when he noticed her hesitation. When she noticed he was still up, she gasped, "Oh, right!" before leaping toward him and aiming a flying kick toward his skull.

"As if I'd let you pull that again!" Centiskorch snapped as he sent a single flame through her foot and flung her sideways into the turnbuckle. He then tucked his body forward and grabbed onto his tail. This allowed him to curl up into a wheel shape before he rolled toward Scorbunny and exclaimed, "HELL'S TIRE!"

Scorbunny was unable to recover in time to avoid a hard strike, Centiskorch scraping his body against hers. However, after half a minute, the rabbit noticed a pattern to his attack. Every three seconds, his head would be low enough, and thus when it came around a second time, she reeled her leg back and sent it forward into his skull.

Once again, this one kick managed to draw blood as Centiskorch cried out in agony and reeled his head back. Scorbunny blinked and thought, 'That's it! I can win this!' before leaping high into the air and lighting her foot aflame. She then descended toward his head and exclaimed, "BURNING ROCKET!" ramming her heel into the same spot and causing more blood to fly out while the centipede's eyes opened wider than ever before.

When he fell on his back, Scorbunny breathed heavily with a light smile on her face. She could not believe she had come up with that strategy so easily. It was just like when she fought Furfrou.

Centiskorch slowly pushed himself up only for the rabbit to grunt, "I wouldn't get up if I were you! I wasn't thinking straight before! I never even thought to attack a different spot! But now I know how to defeat you!"

The centipede stared in horror and backed up slowly. Sure, he had wanted a challenge, but only because he wanted a satisfying victory. But this was far worse than he could have imagined.

However, there was no way he would allow himself to lose, even if these three kicks alone had dealt far more damage than any of his moves had done. With that in mind, he scowled and went down on all twenty twos again, crawling toward Scorbunny at a rapid pace once more.

The rabbit prepared another kick only for the centipede to shift sideways, ramming the lower end of his body into her gut. This distracted her just long enough for him to creep up behind her and shout, "HELL'S CLAW GRIP!"

He once again sent his flames through her body and trapped her in place, only this time she managed to free herself right away. Unfortunately, Centiskorch had expected this and thus wrapped his top four arms around her and held her in place, once again standing as tall as he could and flipping her upside down.

Scorbunny squirmed to free herself, but it ultimately proved pointless when Centiskorch tightened his hold on her. He breathed heavily and growled, "I take back what I said! You are as powerful as I thought! But I won't let you land another hit, not when I'm so close!"

While Scorbunny continued to struggle, she suddenly realized something. Her legs were right in front of Centiskorch's neck. However, she would not be able to kick the spot hard enough to free herself.

She bit her lower lip and realized there was only one move she could afford to use right now, but it was a huge risk. While Blaziken's granddaughter, Scorchicken, was able to use this move herself, it had always put a huge strain on her, and as had been seen from her match with Morgrem, Scorbunny was even worse when it came to moves like this.

Regardless, she was close now, really close. There was no way she would throw away victory at a time like this. With that in mind, she narrowed her eyelids and spread out her legs, tilting them forward and latching them onto Centiskorch's neck. Before he could even respond to this, the rabbit took a deep breath and used all her might to shift her body backward, pulling the centipede down with her while his feet separated from the mat.

Considering the huge risk, Scorbunny knew she had to make this count. As such, she focused hard and lit her feet on fire one more time. Centiskorch panicked and flailed his free arms around, but it was ultimately too late for him to do anything when the rabbit barked, "ASTEROID FRANKENSTEINER!" and rammed the back of his head hard into the canvas.

Once again, blood poured from his head while he let out another cry of pain. Scorbunny released her hold and allowed him to collapse, his eyes closed now. There was no doubt about it. The rabbit had finally won.

She lay on the mat and panted heavily, and while she was happy, she also could not help but think about how lucky she was that this had been enough. Thanks to her own move, she could no longer stand. She could barely afford to keep her eyes open.

After a few seconds, she drifted off to sleep just in time for a vortex to appear and pull her toward it. Not only would she get a good rest, but she was finally free from Centiskorch's realm. But would the others be so fortunate?

It certainly did not seem that way for Rillaboom. After what Dracovish said earlier, she had lost a great deal of confidence. After all, while her hits had certainly dealt pain, the dinosaur had already proven herself much stronger.

On top of the gorilla no longer trying to fight back, it would have been difficult anyway due to the fact that Dracovish was currently seated on her gut. She gazed down at her opponent and said, "Don't look so upset. This was inevitable," reeling her head back before sending it downward and into Rillaboom's forehead.

Rillaboom cried out in pain before she received another blow to the same spot. After she took in five more hits, the spot in question came open and blood started to trickle down her face. Tears welled up in her eyes while she thought, 'I'm sorry, everyone. I don't think I'll make it out of this.'

The gorilla continued to take in one headbutt after the next while the dinosaurs in the bleachers all released roars of encouragement for the hybrid seated on top of her. Her eyes started to close and her focus had just about left her. When Dracovish saw this, she held off her assault and smiled, saying, "It seems you've realized the hopelessness of this situation. I was going to end this with a stronger move, but I guess I can show you a little mercy."

But just as she was about to send her forehead downward one last time, Rillaboom thought about how her friends would feel if she allowed herself to die. She could only imagine how heartbroken they would be, how even if they came out on top, they would not feel satisfied.

On top of that, she also did not wish for any of the others to fight Dracovish. She was certain they could defeat her, but she imagined their fights had to have been just as brutal. She did not want them to continue from where she left off. There was no way this would turn out like when Vaporeon and Drizzile lost to Furfrou and Morgrem.

With that in mind, she gritted her teeth and folded her arms in front of her face to block the incoming headbutt. But when she did so, something strange happened. The leaves that covered her wrists spun like gears. What happened next was even more confusing as once they stopped spinning, they had somehow transformed into wooden barrels that acted as bracelets.

Rillaboom had no idea what was going on, but it seemed to have had an effect. When Dracovish's head rammed into the barrels, her eyes widened and she reeled her head back. She then stood up and backed away from her opponent while rubbing her forehead. Just what kind of wood was that?

Rillaboom slowly climbed back to her feet and held her arms up, now fixated on the barrels. Where had they come from? Why had they appeared now of all times? Could she always do this?

Dracovish was just about to enquire about that when she noticed that the gorilla was just as confused as she was. As such, she ignored the pain to her head and smirked wickedly, saying, "So you have one elemental power. A shame you have no idea how you activated it."

Sure enough, just as soon as the barrels had appeared, they spun around and vanished, replaced by the leaves that had been there before. Rillaboom stared at this and was about to panic before she took a deep breath and thought, 'No, I'll have all the time to think about that after I rub that smug look off Dracovish's face. Barrel bracelets, I have no idea where you came from, but thank you.'

When the dinosaur saw a smirk form on Rillaboom's face, she stared in confusion and grunted, "Don't look so confident!" the gorilla pounding her fist against her palm and asking, "Why not? I know I can beat you now."

Dracovish stared briefly only for her eyes to widen when Rillaboom got closer. For some strange reason, while she had found the gorilla's confidence meaningless before, now she found it frightening. Could it be? Did she actually know how she had activated such power?

Either way, these thoughts were more than enough to distract Dracovish while Rillaboom sent her fist hard into her face, grunting, "You're right! I don't really have any moves of my own! But right now, that doesn't matter! What does matter is that my friends and the people of Edmonton are counting on me!"

She sent more and more blows to the dinosaur's face before wrapping her arm around her neck. She then leapt sideways, forcing Dracovish to fall to the side before her cheek hit the canvas hard. Unfortunately, though, it was at this moment that she realized what Rillaboom had done, thus she narrowed her eyelids and once again revealed her shark teeth.

But just when she was seconds away from biting Rillaboom's arm again, the gorilla saw this and rose back to her feet, lifting Dracovish up with her. She then held her upside down with her head placed right behind her shoulder. And with Dracovish in the perfect position, Rillaboom leaned back and planted the back of her head into the canvas with a backdrop.

The other dinosaurs all stared in horror at their hero lying there in defeat. They could not believe this had been enough. But Rillaboom had a feeling this was not over yet. After all, Dracovish had shown a great deal of resistance to her moves up to this point.

With that in mind, she looked back to the barrels and thought, 'Yes, this is my chance. Today, I create my first signature move,' leaping into the air and landing hard on Dracovish's gut just in time for her to regain consciousness.

'One day, I'll learn how to use this as I envision it, but for now, this will serve as the ultimate final blow,' Rillaboom thought with her arms raised over her head. She then cupped her hands together to form a big fist, shouting, "WOOD HAMMER!" sending them downward into her opponent's face.

Dracovish's eyes widened as a small bit of blood squirted out of her face. And while Rillaboom's move had not quite lived up to the name she had given it, at least it was a start. What mattered right now was that this had been just enough to knock the dinosaur unconscious while those in the bleachers stared silently at this.

Rillaboom stood upright and breathed heavily, a light smile forming on her face. She then rose her arms in the air and shouted, "BEHOLD YOUR NEW CHAMPION!" only for her eyes to widen when she noticed that none of the dinosaurs looked the least bit happy or impressed.

They all got up from their seats with their teeth bared, Rillaboom tensing up. After all the damage she had suffered, there was no way she could take on all of them even if they were regular dinosaurs.

But just as it seemed like she would die here despite all of her efforts, a vortex formed behind her and sucked her toward it. The reptilian monsters all roared out of frustration before gathering around their fallen idol with concern. Needless to say, Rillaboom could not have been happier right now, thus she breathed a sigh of relief and allowed herself to be pulled through the opening.

During all of this, Vaporeon had finally regained her confidence and was ready to take down Corviknight. Sure, she had not dealt so much as one blow to him and had suffered a ton of damage in the short time they had fought. But despite all of that, she knew she could still win. After all, her mother had been put in multiple situations like this in the past and she was said to have been the best out of her group of five.

With that in mind, she stood her ground while Corviknight took to the sky and soared toward her with his wings out and the talons on his hands pointed forward. But just as it looked like Vaporeon would fall victim to his Steel Wing Slash again, she leaned backward just far enough for him to fly over her. And this was all she needed as she curled her tail like a spring and boosted herself off the mat.

Since she had been facing backwards this time, she soared sideways and wrapped her arms around the raven's midsection. His eyes and beak widened before she leaned farther back and shouted, "TRAMPOLINE SUPLEX!" ramming his skull into the surface.

The crowd gasped as even Corviknight could not believe what had just happened. But even so, while this was a tad upsetting, a part of him was glad that his opponent still had some fight left in her and had not just blown smoke earlier.

Vaporeon released her hold on him and positioned herself upright. She then turned around to face him while he flipped back onto his feet, saying, "Not bad. But let's see you counter this," holding his arms above his head and spinning like a twister once again, shouting, "STEEL WING CYCLONE!"

Now that the fox's head was back in the game, she was prepared for this. And it showed when Corviknight was just close enough. She crouched as low as she could get and whipped out her tail, latching it to his ankles.

Corviknight's eyes widened in shock when his spin came to a halt. And with him in the perfect position, Vaporeon tugged her tail back and caused him to trip, the back of his head hitting the canvas hard while he grunted in response.

She then saw a golden opportunity, thus she leapt onto the top rope and bounced off of it, covering the tip of her tail in an ice ball. She flipped vertically and planted it right into the raven's neck, shouting, "BOUNCING ICE BALL!" propelling herself off of him and landing gracefully behind him.

She breathed lightly with her arms spread out and a light smile on her face. The birds in the audience simply watched in stunned silence while she thought, 'I got this. If only Mommy could see this. She'd be so proud.'

But even though she had gotten the upper hand, she knew it was not over yet. And it showed when Corviknight placed his hands firmly against the mat and pushed himself upright. He turned to face Vaporeon and bowed his head in respect, saying, "Now I see that I was right about you all along. I know not why you struggled so much earlier, but I am glad that you are the worthy foe that I thought you were."

He then gazed into her eyes and added, "Regardless, I still fully intend to come out on top, so have at you!" He spread out his wings and took to the sky while Vaporeon smirked and thought, 'I know just what to do.'

With that in mind, she leapt backward into the nearest top rope and allowed it to stretch back. Once far enough, she launched herself toward Corviknight with her skull pointed at his gut, squealing, "FLYING FOX MISSILE!"

But while Corviknight took in the blow, he ignored the pain and grabbed onto her sides. He then planted his hand talons into her flesh, drawing bits of blood and shouting, "CLAWS OF STEEL!"

Vaporeon's eyes widened with terror before the raven flipped her upside down and planted his foot talons into the sides of her head, stating, "You seem to have forgotten one little detail. I am a steel type. I have a high resistance to pain, so it'll take a lot more than a few impressive hits to take me down."

The fox winced and felt a tad ashamed of herself for having missed such an important fact. But she might not have too much time to dwell on this, and it showed when Corviknight flapped his wings upward, allowing himself to descend at a rapid speed toward the canvas.

"STEEL CLAW TOMBSTONE!" he exclaimed while he rammed Vaporeon's skull into the canvas. Her eyes were wide with terror while blood spewed out of her mouth. Even with her amazing comeback, it seemed as if it was all over for her when the raven removed his claws and allowed her to collapse.

The crowd cheered wildly while the raven looked down at Vaporeon and said, "I have to hand it to you. You really caught me off guard. This only makes my victory much more satisfying, but at least you can die happy knowing that you were a worthy opponent."

He then took to the sky and pointed his beak toward the fox's gut, descending toward her at a rapid speed and shouting, "RAVEN JOUST!"

But just as he was mere seconds away from ending the match for good, Vaporeon's eyes widened as she gasped and rolled to the side. Corviknight was stunned when his beak planted itself into the canvas. Nervous sweat seeped through his armour while he placed his hands against the mat and attempted to pry said part out of the material, grunting through clenched teeth, "Oh, god, how could I allow this to happen?"

"Do you seriously think your words alone would make me happy?" Vaporeon growled, "If I allowed myself to die in this match, I could never be truly happy in the afterlife! How dare you!?"

The raven pushed harder and harder while the fox leapt toward him and planted both of her feet into his neck. She then delivered an onslaught of roundhouses as small dents formed in his armour. While the fox should not have been able to pull this off, her frustration had given her a slight boost in strength.

After she kept this up for a full minute, she could tell Corviknight no longer had the same energy and spirit he had before. His eyes were only half open and his arms had started to feel limp. Even he could tell that this match was over.

With that in mind, Vaporeon leapt up onto him and wrapped her arms and legs around his ankles and waist respectively. She then curled her tail into a spring and propelled herself into the air, prying Corviknight's beak out of the canvas while his eyes widened in shock.

But while his eyes were fully open, he knew he could no longer do a thing when Vaporeon wrapped her tail around his neck. As such, he closed his eyes and said, 'Congratulations, Lady Vaporeon. You have truly bested me in combat. Enjoy this victory for you have earned it.'

Once the two had reached the height of the top bleachers, Vaporeon grinned and descended toward the mat, shouting, "TRAMPOLINE PILEDRIVER!"

Corviknight's skull hit the canvas hard before he coughed up blood with his beak stuck open. Vaporeon then released her hold on him and allowed him to collapse. She breathed heavily and gazed down at him, a look of disbelief in her eyes. As great as this felt, a part of her could not believe that had been enough to end it.

What shocked her even more, though, was when all of the birds in the audience, the same ones who had been made to support and bolster Corviknight's ego, cheered for her and gave her a standing ovation with their wings. Even though it was not from the citizens of Edmonton, just to hear the cheers of a crowd again after more than a month was all she needed. As such, she let down a light tear drop and thought, 'Who was I trying to kid? I am worthy of protecting Edmonton.'

She then rose her arms in the air and shouted, "I AM WORTHY OF PROTECTING EDMONTON!"

"Yes, you are," came a familiar voice from behind her. The fox looked down at Corviknight to see that his eyes were just barely open while he uttered, "Despite everything going against you, you still came out on top, just like your mother back in the day. I apologize. I should not have said such horrible things about you."

Vaporeon shook her head and replied, "No, don't apologize. I kinda needed that. In case you're still wondering, I was holding myself back. After those two losses, I wasn't sure if I really was good enough. You helped me overcome that, even if it was unintentional."

At that moment, the vortex home appeared as Corviknight noticed this and uttered, "Go, be with your friends. I'll stay here with my adoring-" only for a bag of birdseed to fly into his face.

His eyes were wide with shock when he noticed something truly horrifying. Not only had the fans specifically made for him cheered for his opponent, but now they were booing him and throwing refreshments at him. This was all Vaporeon needed to see, thus she frowned when the vortex started to pull her in and whipped out her tail, binding it to the raven's ankle without warning.

Corviknight's eyes widened as he soon found himself pulled through the portal along with her. But as confusing as this was, he was also beyond grateful. But while the heroes of Edmonton had all come out on top, what of Rolycoly and Morgrem?
