"A 98!" Billy 2 shouted into the mic. "Rocky Wolf makes a 98! How cool was that Billy?"
"Best tricks I have ever seen Billy 2!" Billy 1 said. "But it ain't over yet ladies and gents! Only one more round! And instead of the race, the final round is the half pipe 2! How does this work Chu-Hui?"
Chu-Hui took the mic.
"Both skaters will take on the half pipe at the same time! Rocky Wolf has allowed Slade to use the powers he has taken! Good luck to both of you!"
She handed the microphone to Billy 1.
"Well I say good luck to Rocky Wolf!" Billy 1 said. "I'd prefer Slade having all the bad lu-! Ack!"
Billy 1 was knocked over as Slade hit him with Jinx's bad luck powers.
"Not having alotta good luck are ya Billy?" I asked him. He didn't come up, but he flashed a thumbs-up signaling that he was okay. I laughed. "Hang in there Billy!"
I used my chakra to jump up and front flip onto the half pipe. Slade went to the opposite end and pulled himself up with one hand. I placed my board down and put my foot on the middle. I snapped my helmet on.
"Go Rocky!" Sheilee shouted.
"Don't let us down man!" Alan hollered.
"We're with ya all the way my friend!"
HONK!
I went down milliseconds before Slade did, but we past each other in the middle. Fire came towards me from the front at knee height, but I jumped off my board into a front flip and landed back on my board.
"Whoa Billy 2! Did you see that?"
"I sure did Billy 1!"
I got to the top and stopped when the front wheels caught onto the half pipe lip. I went back down and kick flipped over the water on the pipe. I landed on the other side and did a grind. Slade was a few centimeters in front of me. I transferred chakra into my wheels. I finished my grind and went after Slade. Before he got half way, I used a lot of force, jumped into the air pretty high, and did a half way front flip over Slade's head. I landed in front, facing him. His eye widened slightly.
I smirked and shrugged before turning around to the front again.
"Man that's my Goddamn boy right thur!" M yelled.
Slade stayed behind me, which was pretty stupid. After I got to the top of the other side, I back flipped over him and landed backwards. I folded my arms across my chest and watched Slade for a few seconds. I got to the other side and made a grind without looking, still watching Slade. He was doing a few cool moves using water and electricity. I smirked.
Now it's my turn to do a cool move.
As I was passing him, I said, "Do me a favor and stay on the other side. I want you to witness another one of my tricks that will school you."
Slade turned around, going backwards, to look at me.
"As you wish."
He got to the other side and stopped, but stayed on his board. I got to the opposite end and did a hand stand on the lip of the half pipe. I turned sideways and went down the side. I did a grind on Slade's side and went to the very end. I went down. I headed towards the other side. I landed on top of the half pipe and stopped in the middle.
"Dude! What're you doing?"
I made sure that my board wouldn't move by putting chakra onto the wheels and some into my feet and hands. I got onto my head, my hands on the board, to keep me up. I did a 360-degree turn on my head, flipped myself back up, turned my board around, and did an awesome break dance on my board with a few moves that M taught me. I back flipped twice and landed perfectly on my board. I jumped and turned so I was facing forward. I went down, kick flipped in the middle of the half pipe and landed next to Slade as the horn sounded.
"Oh my goodness Billy! Did you see that?"
"Heck yeah Billy 2! Rocky Wolf did a break dance on his skateboard! If that's not brilliant, then I don't know what is! I think we have our winner!"
Chu-Hui took the mic.
"To be fair, I'll allow Slade to do his own cool move as a finale!" she said. "Do you agree Rocky Wolf?"
I looked over at my friends and saw their please-don't-do-it looks. I looked back at Chu-Hui.
I nodded.
"What?"
"What is he thinking?"
"What are you doing Rocky?"
"Rocky Wolf has decided to allow Slade one final move!" Billy 1 said.
I hit the tail of my board and caught it in my hand.
"But on one condition!" I shouted. I turned and faced Slade. "No powers. If you decide that using our powers is the only way and you don't want to risk messing up, you can decide to not do your trick. If you decide that you don't want to do it, I won't make it a disqualifier. You decide Slade. And do it quickly so I can go home."
We stared at each other for what felt like a century. The crowd, Billy 1 and 2, and Chu-Hui were all quiet awaiting Slade's answer. He looked at the ground with his eye closed and I could tell he had a smirk on his face. He looked back at me.
"I won't risk loosing to you without being able to use my powers," he said. "So I'll keep with the score I have now."
I smirked.
"Smart move Slade. I doubt anyone can beat my trick. Not even Tony Hawk." I turned back to the judge's tower. "So Chu-Hui? Whose are winner?"
She slowly took the microphone from Billy's hand.
"After seeing this miraculous sport with style from both skaters, we have come up with a decision based on an out of 100 score!" Chu-Hui looked at Slade. "Slade, your cunning use of powers was astounding! But Rocky, you countered each power with skills! So we give Slade a 98!" A few villains cheered for him. I walked towards the edge of the half pipe. "But due to Rocky Wolf's talented moves with his break dance…" I looked up at her and mentally prayed that I had gotten a 98 or 99. "…We give Rocky Wolf-!" Everyone seemed like they were holding their breaths. Time seemed to be moving very slowly. The more time that seemed to pass, the more worried I became. Chu-Hui looked at everyone silently, but finally said, "-A 99!"
The crowd cheered so loud I couldn't hear my heart beating fast any more.
I had beaten Slade for the second time since I knew the Bastard. Everyone ran from the stands, my friends in the lead. I jumped from the half pipe and almost got trampled by my friends again. M picked me up.
"You're my boy dawg!"
"Awesome job Rocky!"
"We knew you'd win!"
"HA! In your face Slade!" Billy 1 shouted. "Now give us our powers back so I can be me again!"
Everyone stopped cheering. I turned around and faced Slade.
"You heard the Hillbilly," I said, unsmiling. "Give us our powers back."
Slade stared at me for the longest time. He slowly went to this utility belt and pulled out the black sphere. He pushed a button with his thumb. The red energy left Slade and into the sphere. He released the button and the powers went to their respected owners.
"A deals a deal."
He dropped the sphere on the ground and it broke. He turned around and clenched his hands into fists. With fast speed, he pulled out the same gun he used to kill the barman and aimed it at me.
He fired.
Me: Another cliffy! Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! (cough) Anyways, I won't be here Thursday through Sunday night, so you won't have the update until next week. Sorry about that, but I'm evil that way. Will Slade win? Will I die? What to find out more next week.
