Babar VS. Rataxes part 3
By Bumper and Robert Brown

"And welcome back, everyone, to the third and final round of our king vs king 
fight between Babar and Rataxes.  We're tied a 1 round a piece of course, with 
the last one going to Rataxes in very brutal and bloody fashion.  Right, 
Horner?"

"zzzz.....zzzzzz......zzzz......"

"WAKE UP!  WE'RE ON!!!"

"Huh?  Wha?  Oh...right...1 to 1...3rd match...I was listening.  I was 
just...umm, resting my eyes is all."

"uh-huh.... anyway, they're both very intense for this one, although the rhino 
might have a slight mental edge regarding the very bloody end of the last 
round.  Babar really needs to be more careful in this next round than he was 
last time.  He made two very critical mistakes.  For this final found, the two 
have to take off their crowns, for some reason.  The water is still bloody 
from the last match, by the way..."

"Indeed it is, all of it Babar's blood.  I don't know about you elephants, but 
when us rhinos see red that close up, we get really vicious.  The royal family 
will be lucky if there's enough left of their king to put in a thimble."

"Whatever, Mr. Cheerleader... there's the gun!  They're in, and we're 
underway.  Wouldn't you know it... they're in the blood tainted area right 
away.  That'll make it harder to see for them both, but it should still be 
manageable.  Well, no opening attack from either combatant just yet... they 
seem to be jockeying for position.  Babar holds the higher position in the 
drink though."

"That just makes it easier for Rataxes to land one of his...special blows.  He 
blew it!  Babar saw it coming, unfortunately, and got his knee up to block.  
and now he brought that same knee into Rataxes' chin, giving him a bloody 
lip!"

"That's gonna rattle Rataxes for a while.  Babar's going on the offensive 
how... kick to the gut.... headbutt.... and finally, and double axhandle, 
sending Rataxes twirling towards the bottom.  He hit pretty hard on the 
bottom... now he's just sort of lying face up.  Babar's over him in a hurry, 
trying to follow up further on this early turnabout advantage."

"Babar just tried to sit on him!  How disgusting.  Fortunately for the king, 
he moved out of the way just in time.  Looks like he's using this chance to 
get a quick breath of air before Babar can recover."

"I'll give Rataxes credit, he recovered really quickly from all that.  Babar's 
recovered and seems to want to play it safe and get a breath of air a good 
distance from Rataxes.  ....... well, they've both taken in their share of 
air, so they're both heading back down... heading straight towards the bottom 
and each other on an intercept course!"

"Rataxes was probably just playing possum, you know you elephants can't hit 
that hard.  And look, Rataxes dodged to maneuver around behind Babar...but 
that stupid elephant dodged the same way!  Oh man, after that noggin knocker 
they both have to have a headache."

"Wow... they gotta really want this... this has been pretty painful for them 
both.  Babar suddenly recovers, and takes down Rataxes again!  He's trying to 
sit on him... and he does it... on his face!  This just might be it, 
everyone!"

"Yes it could....but wait....Rataxes pulled out his snorkel and he's biting 
him!  Ewww....well, I guess whatever works....but he let go real fast and is 
swimming up to the surface to adjust his gear, catch his breath....and I hope 
he has some mouthwash on him somewhere."

"Oh, man.... Rataxes got out of there just in time!  Babar just unleashed a 
super fart... any longer under there, and Rataxes would've been wasted!  Just 
as suddenly... Rataxes is back.. but what is this... some huge shadowy thing 
is showing up here..."

"I...I don't know.  But both combatants are completely unaware of it.  They're 
just locked together, punching and kicking for all they're worth 
and....oh...oh no, it can't be...!"

"The hell... this isn't possible.... a sea serpent... and he just swallowed up 
the fighters!  They probably have no idea what's going on!  Well, I believe 
this fight may over just that fast...."

"It's the legendary monster of Lake Celeste!  A very full and content monster 
that is....Oh man, there goes the fight.  I guess it's a draw....we are going 
to get socked in the ratings for this one....you know that.  It's all the 
ref's fault!  Why didn't he check to make sure the area was clear?"

"Yeah, and hope we still have our jobs tomorrow.  Farewell!"
