(The crowd goes nuts.)
Elsewhere...
T:(looks around.) W-where are we?
E: (sitting on a bench.) Its a waiting room Theodore (motions him to come sit with her.) we can watch the match from here..plus they (points to the side) they left us some books and snacks.
T: good c-cause we're gonna need them...(looks at his brothers)
E: something on your mind Theo?
Theodore turned towards her with a simple smile as the two looked at the match.
[Announcer #1 & 2: (TOGETHER) BEGIN!
As Simon and Alvin hopped back a few steps to gain some distance.
A: Well little bro it seems you must be excited to get a piece of me after all these years. (Zips out of his sight creating ten copies of himself that surround Simon in a single second.)
S:(in thought.) If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is tempermental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.
(He Exhales as The Alvin rushes to him.) got you.
Simon fights off the copies then zips over to the real "Alvin" as he about to land a hit we see Alvin just step to the side as Simon is almost sent flying off the stage as Alvin tugs him back sending him to the center of the stage.
A: sorry can't let the match end so quickly..(if it was Theodore I would.) c'mon Simon that can't be Al-(Simon zips behind him and trips him onto the ground following up with a kick.) Hngh..much better now we have ourselves a match (he licks his lips.)
S: Ew...(shudders)
A: (stands up.) Too much?
S: y-yes stop watching those videos they aren't cool? (Charges at him as he pulls out some potions of his and throws the liquid at Alvin stopping him right in his tracks.) Take this! (Throws a punch and it connects sending Alvin into the air.)
A:(quickly recovers) woo! Nice one Simon (appears behind him.).. but let's make things a little bit more interesting shall we
S: And how? So do you plan on doing that dear brother?
A: it's simple I'll give you an hour to use that big brain of yours to outwit me anyway you can think of be it combat or magic etc...deal? (Zips away and reappear in front of him.)
S:(in thought) "The difficulty of tactical maneuvering consists in turning the devious into the direct, and misfortune into gain." That's his game plan huh? (Answers Alvin) and what do I get out of this?
A: winner gets Bragging rights and...you get to choose what Theodore meal for dinner for the next whole week.
S:...(in thought) what a bunch-(out loud) Deal! (As he dashes towards his brother.)
S:(throws a punch and misses) what...
A:too slow..(makes a copy of himself and sends him to Simon.)
S:w-whoa! (Jumps back)
S:(ear twitches as he turns to catch a fist sending him flying as he is being pushed back.) hmmm...(thinking) I need to get rid of that copy first but he..then can just keep making them..(sees the copy rush towards him)..That's It!!!
A:no time to think in a battle Simon this a heads first and think later situation.
S:(hops on the copy and hops into the air tossing down some of his inventions that immediately attack the copy as he landed behind him and delivered a blow that sent him away.)
A:nice one! (Stands up and stretches) Guess I should do something huh.
S:..(fixes his glasses)..That was trivial..now let's see how fast you really are-(before he even realized it Alvin had already zipped in front of him.)
[Time left: 45 minutes.]
Simon dodges at the last minute as Alvin began attacking frivolously not leaving a single shot for Simon to recover. His attacks are fast and needless to say quite impactful with each blow
S:(in thought)..though..he..has more of a physical advantage in our ability..I'm..(gasp)..wait!
Flashback to Dave walking with the boys.
Dave: (As Alvin and Theodore are playing up ahead..looks to see Simon looking a little down.)Something..the matter Simon?
S:o-oh it's nothing Dave..(that was a lie something was troubling him.)
Dave:(chuckles as he says to Simon.)..well remember this then.."When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you."
Flashback Ends with Simon sending Alvin back!
[Time left:15 minutes!]
S:That's it!! (Throws some potions at him!) I'm not done yet! [Oh goddess of venture help me: Bind!.]
A: Hngh! I..c-can't move! (struggles to move) Gngh!
S:Take!!! This!!!!
[Cut to Theodore walking back and forth in the waiting room.]
T:o-oh dear.. I hope they don't do too much damage to each other.
E: You sure really do care for your brothers.
T:(stops in his tracks)...oh..w-well..
Flashback Begins with Dave and Theodore Cooking
Dave: Remember..Theodore..."Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."
T:(kneading bread)..hmm?
Dave:..you'll understand when you're older...h-hopefully.
Flashback Ends with Simon being held by Alvin.
A:Good job Simon..(chuckles)..oh boy
S:..I lost, didn't I?
A:yeah..but still you did awesome..
[Time Left:0]

In the bleachers...
J:w-whoa..those two are really competitive with each other
B:Jeanette their boys..but I must admit..(looks at Alvin)..those guys are something..
Back with Theodore...
T: O-oh it seems Alvin won.. I..well they both did well (as Eleanor walked into the room.)
E: you okay? Theodore?
T:I'm fine (walks past her) see you out there (walks off.)
