Trevor: "Hello, ladies and gentlemen of our viewing audience! Our latest fight today will be a 2 on 2 mask and snorkel contest. Brian is with me today. Would you explain our combatants today, Brian?"

Brian: "Well, one side's easy to explain. Grubby the octopede and Prince Arin are here from the Teddy Ruxpin world. They've come to put brains and skill together and prove how lethal a team they can be. In fact, they're the ones that called for this open challenge. They wanted to test their mettle against a team of similar proportions. But none could be found, until now."

Trevor: "And getting together to accept this challenge almost a week after it was issued is Donald Duck, a veteran of the water and already involved in several of our fights, and Sally Acorn, the Princess of the Kingdom of Acorn in the Sonic the Hedgehog universe. She's a fresh rookie here, as is Arin, so we could be seeing those two dancing in the drink tonight."

Brian: "That's true. But both make up the brains of these teams, so they wouldn't have come into it if they didn't have some idea of how to get the job done here. Mixed with the tactics the seasoned vets already have, it should lead to some very exciting action."

Trevor: "Well, wasting no more time here, both sides seem about ready to enter the tank from the surface, as is normal in mask and snorkel matches. Depth is 40 feet for this one, no frills at all here with this arena. And we're off! Both teams have splashed down, and Donald's already surging ahead to try to meet the enemy, but he's leaving his slower partner behind in the process!"

Brian: "Well, Sally's not slower in any sense of the imagination, but she's stunned by Donald's boldness and now starts her charge. Grubby and Arin are poised in their spot, they're just letting them come to them."

Trevor: "As they're about to meet each other, know that there's no weapons here, so Arin has no blade with him on this occasion, so he might be feeling even more naked that we may think. And here we go! Sally's surprised Arin with a tackle around the ankles. you know these two rookies, what with there being no real terrain here, will be looking to create every physical advantage possible."

Brian: "Arin was ready to meet her high, that's why he got surprised. Donald, however, did meet Grubby face to face and the two are just slugging it out in a straight fisticuff brawl. Uncharacteristic, but they want to get an early edge physically."

Trevor: "Now this is kinda dumb of the duck to get into a fisticuffs with the octopede. Grubby's got the potential to deliver 4 times the punches of Donald, considering his 8 arms. Only thing I can think of is maybe Donald wants to try to knock the air out of Grubby early?"

Brian: "Could be, but they're going at it, still. Sally's still got Arin by the knees and has brought him down with the weight belt. Arin can't shake her off. What's this, now they're shooting back up, Sally's turned Arin's weight belt down!"

Trevor: "Arin's getting confused and disoriented from the up and down moving Sally's doing in him here... *CRASH* Wow, they just crashed into our other duo fighting over there, and they're all going towards the bottom of the tank! Man, this is a real mess..."

Brian: "I believe Sally's intention was to crash Arin into Grubby, but all four of them got wiped out somehow. And actually, Grubby and Arin are kind of free floating. Arin's still under Grubby and his weight belt is still set on weak. But you're right, it's looking like a train wreck."

Trevor: "It looks like those two are the first to recover, and they decide to go up together for a breath... and now Sally and Donald are trying to do the same thing, but Grubby and Arin have the advantage of height here, and are trying to stop them!"

Brian: "They're blocking the route to the surface. Sally and Donald are trapped underneath and they need the air badly. Sally's passing some kind of signal to Donald, and he's got it... and now they charge up... and whoa! Twisted themselves around and landed double handstand kicks right in the mush of both Grubby and Arin! I'd say that time, the crash was more effective."

Trevor: "Wow, I didn't think Donald could pull that off... Sally's agility is well known, however. Maybe she taught him before the match or something... anyway, they go get their air. Grubby and Arin are still trying to recover down there... those kicks really caught them hard."

Brian: "You're right, that's two big hits they've taken in under a minute. If they don't get themselves straightened out, they'll be unconscious in no time."

Trevor: "And Donald's rushing down there to try to get on Grubby's back. If he manages to jump on Grubby's back, Grubby's almost certainly finished in this condition. And Sally's already reached Arin... what'll she do with this?"

Brian: "She's just waiting in position, and Donald's on Grubby's back. A quick nod, and they're both wrapping their legs around the necks. Could this be a double frankensteiner?!"

Trevor: "No, I think they're just trying to choke them out here, trying to do to them what they tried to do earlier with the drowning. I really gotta give it to Sally here, she's been directing traffic here very very well considering her partner."

Brian: "She's been using his fighting skill to their advantage. They're still choking, you're right, And Grubby and Arin are trying to force out of it. Grubby's having a harder time trying to pry with his short reach, though."

Trevor: "Wait a minute... I think Arin got an idea... He pulling for the surface, and Sally doesn't even realize it because she's concentrating so hard on choking him out! She's light enough that he's there in pretty good time. Grubby's trying to do the same thing, but the weight difference's a little closer, so that's more slow going..."

Brian: "Donald's sensing the movement, and he's reaching for his belt in order to counter. Arin's made it to the surface, and the force of reaching the top has shaken Sally's grip, he's escaped!"

Trevor: "I have to say, Arin's been almost exclusively on the defensive here... is he having trouble coming to grips with hitting a girl? If that's the case, then Sally is going to show him no quarter for this honorable behavior. In the meantime, Donald's found he lost his weight belt! I guess that crash made it come loose! Not good..."

Brian: "He's just realizing it's gone, and quite frankly, I didn't notice it gone either until now, either. Donald's actually searching upside down for it, and Grubby's slipping from the choke in the process."

Trevor: "Grubby's taking this opportunity to get to the surface and try to recover from the effects of that move while Donald searches for his belt... he really should've just kept the choke on. And also, with this, with Grubby getting close to the surface where Sally and Arin are still at, I'd say she's in trouble."

Brian: "Grubby's reached the surface, and Sally notices the dilemma she's in. She's struggling to hold Arin off. You can see her looking down, she wants to know where Donald is."

Trevor: "She sees him, heading to the bottom to pick up his belt... well, she knows she's pretty much screwed, I think. In desparation, she tries to dive down, to join with him again, but nothing doing and Grubby catches her not even 5 feet down, and Arin is with them... "

Brian: "Now she's really in trouble, and she definitely knows it. Arin lunges for her again, and has her pinned by the arms as Grubby approaches. Looks like Arin's letting Grubby release the Root Stew Breath on her."

Trevor: "No problem at all for Grubby... he's doing it in an interesting way though. He takes the mouthpiece out of his mouth, and grabs the top of her snorkel with his mouth, and lets out the belch down it! She breathes it and she croaks quickly, much to the dismay of our male viewing audience, no doubt."

Brian: "But a worthwhile strategy, as Arin doesn't have to suffer the impact. Donald has finally found his weight belt and is starting to head back up, but I think he's in for a surprise."

Trevor: "He doesn't stand a chance. I don't think he even realizes his partner's dead yet. Oh, oh, he just figured that out now that he sees her body floating motionlessly and he begins to try to retreat, but Grubby and Arin are trying to pursue... *Wait a minute* Arin can't keep this up anymore, and he breaks to surface to get air. So, it's just Grubby going after Donald now."

Brian: "I don't know where Donald thinks he can run, because he'll be in just as much trouble for air shortly. He's even trying to break for the surface, and I don't think he sees Arin already there a short distance away."

Trevor: "You're quite right, my friend, and Arin's looking to hit Don before he can break the surface... and he manages to nail the tackle, and Donald's held in place, much like Sally was... look at those cheeks, Brian."

Brian: "This could be it right here. Grubby's zeroing in on the pair also, but what will he do? He's already used his breath, and they're too high up for a fart to be effective."

Trevor: "They don't need to do any kind of finisher. I was pointing out Donald's cheeks because he's clearly running out of air. In fact, he might already be out of air, but running on sheer will. Hold on, I think he's taking in water... *wait a few moments*... and there he goes! Who would've thought this fight would end with Donald drowning?"

Brian: "You're right, he's definitely gone. But Grubby's taken him now, and he's turned up the juice on his weight belt. Ooo... vicious pancake slam into the sand at the bottom. I think that's to make sure he's not getting up."

Trevor: "We do have a rule in place in the league, which was put into place recently, that you can't 'attack' a dead body, but I think that was insurance, so it shouldn't be an issue. The important think is that our Teddy Ruxpin duo has gained a victory here. By the way, for those keeping score, Arin will be credited with that kill for initiating the hold that drowned Donald."

Brian: "If you can call it a hold, anyway, but nevertheless, it was a strong victory due mostly to teamwork and good communication. They met the challenge they laid down. It's a victory in 6:50 for Grubby and Arin, and another match in the books. For Trevor Lake, I'm Brian Sapinski, have a Good Night, everyone!"
