Jax is standing around, ready for Hiroko to call his name to fight his brother. “This is odd,” said Jax. “What is it?” Asked Tethyus. “How come I have not seen Tokido the whole tournament,” said Jax. “He is here; I can sense my brother Strix,” said Tethyus. Jax is starting to shake from being too nervous. “Why are you too nervous?” Asked Tethyus. “I am going up against my brother, and it is hard to tell what he would do against me,” said Jax. “I am here with you; I am going to promise you that nothing bad is going to happen to you against your brother,” said Tethyus. “Thanks,” said Jax. “No worry, that is why we met by fate,” said Tethyus. “Let us get ready for the third match of the top eight,” said Hiroko as he moved his hands towards the rest area direction. Only Jax came out to the ring. “Where is Tokido?” Asked Jax as he looked over to his right, and no one was standing right next to him. Then a person jumps off the rest area's roof and land in the ring right in front of Jax. “Sorry, If I keep you waiting for a brother, I had to take care of someone before we began,” said Tokido. “All right,” said Jax bow towards Tokido. Tokido did the same. “I cannot believe you escape the trap that I set in that temple,” said Tokido. “You know I have friends that care for me, unlike you,” said Jax. “Who needs friends anyhow,” said Tokido. “That is when you are wrong; my friends help me get strong,” said Jax. “We will see after the match to see who is telling the truth,” said Tokido. “It looks like they are having a sibling’s argument about something,” said Hiroko. Tokido attacks first with a karate chop onto Jax. Jax dodges it with a counter karate chop. Then Tokido did it again with his other hand. Jax counters the chop again. Then, Tokido swung his leg over to kick Jax. Jax took the kick like a champ, and he fell over. “Oh, darn it,” said Kiyoshi. “I believe Jax might lose this fight; I mean, look at Tokido's power,” said Lionel as he came to sit next to Felix. Tokido jumped straight up in the air and came back down with one foot ahead of him, and his foot landed on Jax. “Ahhhhh.” Said Jax. Then, Tokido did it a few more times. Then, Tokido kicks Jax until he is hanging off the edge. “Why does Tokido how to be cruel towards Jax,” said Felix. “Well, they are brothers, so anything goes between them,” said Lionel. Jax slowly got up from the beating that Tokido gave him. “So, what have you done since I left the temple?” Asked Tokido. “Well, I was trying to live because someone installs explosives in the temple,” said Jax. “I see you are still here fighting,” said Tokido. Jax got angry, and he clenched his fist. Jax goes to charge Tokido with a punch, but Tokido starts to dodge all the punches Jax throws at him. Then, Tokido's foot lit up with a white electric spark, and the last punch Jax threw, Tokido kicked Jax in the chest. Jax flew up in the air some inches, and then Tokido did some bicycle kicks at Jax. Jax fell to the ring and slid on his back. “Hmm, it still looks like you are a weak fighter, just like your pathetic friends,” said Tokido. “Hey, what did he call me?” Said Kiyoshi. “Calm down, Kiyoshi; he will put you in the medical room easily,” said Lionel. “He is just jealous that we have friends and he does not,” said Felix. “What did you say about my friends?” Said Jax is beginning to stand up. “I call them pathetic, just like you,” said Tokido. Jax's anger transforms into his dark blue electric aura. “You take that back, Tokido,” said Jax. “No, I do not regret anything that I say,” said Tokido. “Calm down, Jax, he trying to get through you,” said Tethyus. “Strix, please stop Tokido; he is getting out of hand,” said Tethyus. “No, I do not listen to my younger sister,” said Strix. “That is what I like from my opponent, including my brother,” said Tokido is crossing his arms and closing his eyes. With all that rage built up into Jax, Jax unleashes his rage towards Tokido. Everyone is in the arena got scared, including Hiroko. “That is how you make your younger brother mad,” said Hiroko while shaking. Jax threw a punch at Tokido, and the punch made Tokido open his eyes and make him go backward. “Tokido.” Said Jax as his bandages are starting to unwrapped from his left eye. Then, Jax's left eye was brown, just like his father's. “Wait a minute; how did Jax's eye turn brown,” said Kiyoshi. “I do not know,” said Felix. “He might take out his first eye and put that one in,” said Lionel. “But why, it makes no difference,” said Felix. “Something tells me that Tokido has something to do with this,” said Lionel. Jax’s left eye turns into the Mitsukodorian. “Finally, my brother is all grown up, I made him transfer into the Mitsukodorian mode, but too bad he has only one eye like that,” said Tokido. Jax threw another punch, and this time Tokido fell over, and he began to roll. “Nice Job Jax, now let us see can you control the magnificent power!” Said Tokido, all excited. Jax throws some punches and kicks at Tokido, but Tokido blocks all the shots Jax threw at him. Then, Tokido punched Jax’s chest, and Jax barely moved back. “Uh-oh,” said Tokido. Then, Jax clothesline Tokido and Tokido did a flip in the air, and Jax did an electric punch to Tokido's face. That is the first time Tokido took a hard punch since he was the new fighter on the island. “Please calm down,” said Tethyus. However, Jax did not listen and kept continue to beat Tokido down. Then, Tethyus began to lock down Jax’s body. Tokido got up, moving left and right, stunned. “I cannot believe Tethyus lockdown your body because you cannot control the power of the Mitsukodorian,” said Tokido. Then, Tokido blinks twice, and then the Mitsukodorian symbol comes into Tokido's eyes. “Oh, come on, this is not fair for Jax; his body is a lockdown, so he cannot do anything,” said Kiyoshi.” Or maybe Tethyus is trying to make Jax calm down so; he can use his Mitsukodorian right,” said Lionel. Tokido holds both of his hands out, and two white electric balls begin to form into his hands, and then he releases those two balls at Jax. Jax took one to the right side, then the next one; Jax pushed it right back at Tokido. Tokido easily pushes it into the air. Then a huge explosion went off in the air. Tokido began to transfer into Strix. “I am Strix, the ghost-white hippogriff,” yells Tokido. Tokido went from being a human to being half-human and half-white hippogriff. His hippogriff is just like Jax’s, but Tokido has more Mitsuko’s family clan markings than Jax’s. “What interesting-looking spirit guardian I have ever seen,” said Hiroko. Then, Jax broke from Tethyus control and tapped into his spirit guardian mode. “I am Tethyus, the lighting blue hippogriff,” yells Jax. Instead of having both dark blue eyes, Tethyus had dark blue and brown eyes. Both of them release punches that make sparks of lighting. They kept doing it, and it felt like a light show from the crowd's standpoint. Then, Tokido gave Jax a hard wham to the face, and Jax gave him one back. “White lighting beak attack,” Said Tokido. Tokido drills Jax with his beak, and Jax slides on his back again, and Tokido jumps on top of him like riding a surfboard. This is the end for you, brother. “Ultimate Move: Perfect Ghost Lighting Cannon.” Yells Tokido. Jax kicks Tokido off of him, and the Perfect Ghost Lighting Cannon is coming towards Jax. Then, Jax and Tokido’s father spoke to Jax. “Calm down and focus on your opponent in front of you and never give up a moment that you have to fire back,” said Jax and Tokido's father. “Ultra-Move: Ultra Lighting Gale Pulse.” Yells Jax. An enormous wind sphere formed into the palm of Jax’s hands, and then it turned into a dark blue electric ball, and then he shot it up at Tokido. The blast both collide with each other. “Wait, did he say ultra-move?” Asked Felix. “Wait, when did he learn an ultra-move?” Asked Lionel. “You guys never know what Jax does in his spare time,” said Zebeon. “Because no one stalks the other person,” said Lionel. At first, Jax was winning the collide. However, then Tokido unleashed his full power into the blast, and then Tokido won, and the blast Jax moved back into him, and then Tokido moves ram down onto Jax, pushing through the ring and into the out of bounds area under the ring. “The blast made a huge explosion which has obliterated the ring,” said Kiyoshi, Felix, and Lionel. Tokido came down to the ring. The medical team jumps down the hole where Tokido blasts him in. They got Jax out, and it turns out that Jax has fainted. “Tokido is the winner and will be moving on to the final four,” said Hiroko. Then moments after Tokido won, he faints. “I guess both fighters pushed each other to their limits, and they both could cost them their lives,” said Lionel. Jax and Tokido both went out of the ring with the stretcher. “Folks, how can we finish this tournament without a ring,” said Hiroko.
