Laura: I do know what a Skewer is, another example is the pin. I'm saving most of my best material for the tag matches anyway.
"Well after three exciting matches we are down to our final match of the day and the last of the singles matches."
"Yup, and we have some good news on Tory's condition too, he has fully recovered and is here and ready to battle in the final match."
"So without further ado, let's start the match."
Tory and his opponent came out to the arena.
"Oh look," said Lan, "Another one."
"Another what?" said Mayl.
"Another netcrime agent," said Lan, "That's Dave, the guy who tried to blow up the dam when we went camping."
"What was his NetNavi?" said Yai.
"QuickMan," replied Lan, "He's as fast as he sounds too."
"If you're both ready, then Jack In!"
"Jack In, QuickMan Power Up!"
"Jack In, IceMan Power Up!"
The three navis landed, IceMan noticed that QuickMan seemed to have trouble standing in one spot.
"Begin!"
QuickMan moved, IceMan blinked.
"Hey," said IceMan, "Where'd he go?"
"He's moving faster than the naked eye can see!"
"That's what his name implies."
"Behind you!" said Tory as QuickMan fired his QuickBoomerang.
The attack hit the unsuspecting IceMan who took the full damage of the attack both times.
"Think Tory think," said Tory looking at the first handful of chips he had pulled.
"You'll never think fast enough," said Dave, "By the time you attack QuickMan will have dodged it."
"We can win," said Tory trying to reassure himself, "Anyone can be beaten if I can just think hard enough and believe in myself."
"Tory," said IceMan, "Some Healing chips at least."
"Oh, sorry," said Tory downloading a couple of Heal chips.
IceMan used some of them and saved a couple for later, he froze the floor with his breath to slide away from QuickMan's QuickBoomerang. QuickMan tried to run across the floor and slipped on the ice.
"That's it," said Tory, "IceStage BattleChip In!"
The floor turned to Ice and IceMan smiled as he watched QuickMan constantly slip on the floor whenever he tried to stop. Sarah had used her airshoes to avoid sharing QuickMan's fate.
"Slippery there QuickMan?"
"QuickMan," said Dave, "I know it's hard for you but only moved to dodge IceMan's attacks."
QuickMan somehow managed to stand still and threw his QuickBoomerang.
"BattleChip In, AreaSteal," said Tory allowing IceMan to warp behind QuickMan.
"I've had it!" said Dave, "Geddon3 BattleChip In!"
All the panels in the arena turned to swamp and QuickMan started moving again.
"Uh – oh," said Tory, "Try and freeze some panels IceMan."
IceMan tried but couldn't freeze the panels that had become poisonous.
"No good!" cried IceMan.
Tory chanced a glance at QuickMan and noticed the poison was affecting him even fast due to the fact that whatever navis had instead of a metabolism was faster than IceMan's.
"IceMan," said Tory, "We've got one shot, it's a long one but it's our only hope." He downloaded some BattleChips.
"I get it Tory," said IceMan, "IceTower, AquaTower Go!"
QuickMan ran from the two attacks.
"Penguin Virus!" said IceMan making the virus appear where QuickMan was running too. He headed away from it and the attacks straight into,
"BlizzardBreath!" said IceMan unleashing the freezing storm straight at QuickMan. He never saw it coming and was frozen solid.
"QuickMan!" said Dave seeing his frozen navi.
"The match is over! IceMan wins!"
"What an exciting match, and that match leads us straight into the Tag Team rounds."
"Yes, and after seeing all these great competitors here I am beginning to worry about my chances."
"As well as our Wild Cards Chaud and Lan."
"We have to get our strategies ready Lan," said Mayl, "We've got at least one match in the next three days remember."
"I know," said Lan, "I hope we don't come up against…"
He met Chaud's eyes across the arena.
"You're mine," mouthed Chaud to Lan.
