"Welcome, everyone, to this 3 on 3 matchup.  This has the potential to 
be a very close matchup, especially with all the combatants in the field 
at once, it'll get very hectic in the water.  But first, we gotta know 
about our contestants.  Robert, who'll entertain us today?"

"Well Trevor, Franklin and his friends Fox and Bear will be facing off 
against Team Shirt Tales which consists of Rick, Bogey, and Tyg.  Now 
this is a full gear match, so any advantages in breathhold are negated, 
and it will come down to skill and fighting ability."

"Indeed, and now, we're just about ready to start already, as both teams 
are in their release hatches.  By the way, Robert, Tyg is in a pretty... 
foul mood for this one.  Care to explain that?"

"Well, as some of our fans may know, Tyg was recently a finalist in our 
junior tournament, which would have allowed him to move into the full 
junior league in singles contention.  He had been one of the favorites, 
until Ord started tearing through everyone.  And as for how he lost... 
I'd rather not get into that.  Suffice to say Tyg won't be forgetting 
about it for a long time."

"Actually, he probably won't be forgetting it ever.  For today, I pity 
whoever winds up in his path... he might be able to tell friend from 
foe, and I can't even promise that much.  Here we go!  They've all been 
released from their hatches, and we're underway.  As they go towards 
each other, they'll be looking to select dance partners quickly, I 
think."

"That would be how it normally goes, but look at Tyg.  I swear his eyes 
are red with rage, and he's going after the first target he sees.  
Bear's looking like a deer in the headlights here, not something I'm 
used to seeing from him."

"Those headlights being Tyg's two big eyes right there, and they're 
looking for blood.  As they have their merry chase, looks like the 
others have managed to pair off.  Franklin on Bogey and Fox clashing 
with Rick in a game of cunning VS smarts."

"Both of them are really good matchups and could go either way.  But 
Bear is still running from Tyg.   Uh oh, Tyg just 'boinged' and is now 
streaking through the water at a high rate of speed.  Bear's not even 
aware of it...oh wait, yes he is.  This won't be pretty."

"So while that gets over with, Bogey is taking his share of licks from a 
free swinging Franklin and is presently on the defensive, and Rick and 
Fox are trying to get some position on each other... but I think Fox is 
getting a little faster."

"Which he just proved by slipping behind Rick.  But Rick just showed his 
quick thinking by landing a back elbow that nearly popped out Fox's 
regulator!  He's grabbed Fox's head and snapmares him over, but Fox just 
hit a vicious tail whip to Rick's neck as he went over, and Rick looks 
stunned."

"And a ways over, Bogey has caught one of Franklin's swings, and is now 
using those long arms to hold Franklin at distance.  Amd Tyg is hitting 
another 'boing' on Bear... DAMMMMNN!  Tyg can make quite a hole..."

"Yeah, but someone might want to remind him that he has two partners who 
need his help here.  Fox is trying to choke Rick out, and doing a pretty 
good job of it.  But all Tyg seems to care about is the complete 
dismemberment of Bear."

"Well, at least our audience now is now aware not to piss him off, as he 
rips the corpse up into several pieces... eww.  A development here, 
Bogey just wrapped himself around Franklin's head suddenly.  Franklin 
can't get him off!"

"Franklin's trying to withdraw his head back into his shell, but Bogey's 
grip is just too tight.  But he'd better hurry as Fox has just finished 
off Rick and is now looking to help his buddy out."

"Yeah, I thought I heard Rick gargling it down over there.  Fox has got 
a good grip on those chokeholds. But too late to help Franklin!  Bogey 
just let go of a fart in Franklin's face!  The turtle's body convulses 
for a few moments, and falls limp, and Bogey lets go.  But Fox just got 
Bogey from behind, and has that choke locked in!  Not much time for the 
orangutang to live."

"Wait, what's that sound?  I don't believe it!  Tyg just boinged through 
Fox's side, cutting the vulpine in half!  Bogey quickly pulls Fox's arms 
off him and swims back a bit, looking at his friend in fear.  You don't 
think Tyg will go after him next, do you?  No, wait, Tyg is starting to 
calm down now.  Lucky for Bogey."

"A very ugly end for Fox, and this match.  This thing lasted just 
5:05... extremely short for a match of this nature.  Very clear Tyg was 
the man here, huh, Rob?"

"No question there, and I think he just put everyone on notice.  In the 
next tournament, he's the tiger to beat."

"Yeah, if he can get into this kind of mentality before every match, but 
I doubt he can get THIS riled up before every single upcoming match-up.  
I mean, look what it took to get him into it here... "

"Well, that might explain why he asked me for a tape of what Ord did to 
him in the last fight.  Well, we're out of time here, so until our next 
fight, take care everyone."
