"What a match that the last two competitors just did," said Hiroko. "I cannot wait to see how the others will fight it out." "Wish me luck," said Lionel. "Do not worry, you got this match; learn from what you did from the last time you fought him," said Jax. "Thanks," said Lionel. "No problem," said Jax with a smile. Cloven and Lionel lined up together to go out to the ring. They both bowed to each other to start the match. Cloven and Lionel charged at each other by punching back and forth. The crowd felt Lionel and Cloven's power when the breeze reached them, and they held on for dear life. "It looks like Lionel is showing his true power," said Kiyoshi. "No kidding," said Felix as he tried to block the force with his arm. "Let's see if you have learned from your past mistakes," said Cloven. "Oh, I have," said Lionel with a smirk. Cloven went for a punch, but Lionel blocked it and returned the favor with his punch. Cloven caught Lionel’s punch, kneed him in the gut, and then punched him. Lionel flew a couple of yards away. He kicked back up again into his stance. Cloven was already right behind him, kicking him into the side, but Lionel held on to Cloven’s leg and kicked him in the face. Then, Lionel jumped up while Cloven was on his back floating in the air and headbutted Cloven in the back. While Cloven was far up in the air, Lionel used his two feet and stomped him in the stomach to make him go back down into the ring. "Yeah," said Felix as he gave Kiyoshi a double high-five. Jax gave one hand fist pump. However, Cloven easily got up after that hit. "Oh no," said Kiyoshi as Cloven got back up. Cloven threw a bright fireball at Lionel, who easily blocked it, but it served as a distraction for Cloven to get closer. Lionel covered his face with his arm so that the smoke would not get into his eyes. Cloven got above Lionel. "Inferno Punch!" Yelled Cloven. The whole fist caught fire as he went down onto Lionel, causing a big explosion. "I cannot watch," said Kiyoshi. After the smoke cleared, Lionel countered Cloven’s punch with a neon punch and then went for a jump-up kick onto Cloven. However, Cloven caught the kick and did a roundhouse onto Lionel’s head. Lionel went spinning like a Ferris wheel. "Inferno blitz." Yelled Cloven. While Lionel was still spinning, Cloven tackled him, sending him flying into a brick wall next to another big hole in the wall. "Remember folks, two feet need to be touching the ground to lose," said Hiroko. Lionel's body emerged from the brick wall and fell toward the grass area. Right before he dropped to the ground, he woke up and did a flip to get back in the ring. "Whoa, that was close," said Lionel. "I will say," said Zebeon. "How did he get back in the ring?" asked Zyjipsue."He has a will not to give up," said Cloven as he crossed his arms. "Very impressive; I guess you have improved since our last fight," said Cloven."That is how you get stronger by studying your rivals and opponents," said Lionel. Lionel and Cloven began to circle each other, waiting for someone to make the first move. They both threw punches and kicks at each other. Cloven hard punched at Lionel, who did the same towards Cloven. Then Cloven hard kicked Lionel’s face, and Lionel did the same towards Cloven. "Neon kick!" Yelled Lionel. Lionel's kick hit Cloven’s chest, but he kicked it away and saw an opening to punch Lionel's body. Lionel flew into a brick wall on the other side but did a triple flip in the air and landed back into the ring. The crowd started clapping. "I cannot believe he can take those shots like that," said Mudar. "Well, that would make sense because of all the hard shots he took on this island," said Felix. "Makes sense," replied Mudar. Lionel started to run out of breath as his stamina reached a low point. "Let's see how we will get through this," said Cloven. Ultimate Move: Inferno Force Flame Blazer! Yelled Cloven. A red light changed into a fire-like substance forming in Cloven’s hand getting bigger until finally reaching its full size. Lionel entered his spirit guardian mode. "Ready,” declared Lionel. "Ready,” confirmed Zebeon "I am Zebeon, the neon penguin!" Yelled Lionel. Using his slippers, he blocked Cloven’s attack. However, Cloven used his almighty will to push his ultimate move against Lionel. After about two minutes, Lionel's guard broke; both of his arms moved out of the way as Clove’s palm with its attack hit his chest causing a huge red ball to form before disappearing in an enormous force wave that knocked some of the crowd back. After everything settled down about half of the ring had evaporated. Hiroko looked around seeing that Cloven was barely standing in the ring while Lionel fainted outside it. "No,” gasped Kiyoshi. "Welp, this stinks,” remarked Felix. "It looks like our winner is Clove,” declared Hiroko. "You were a good opponent that I faced in this tournament; you would’ve won if you trained harder,” praised Clover as he limped away. Jax’s jaw dropped after witnessing Lionels defeat by Cloven “I thought for sure he was going to win,” exclaimed Jax. “I did too,” agreed Tethyus. Then Lionel woke up after being beaten His GI came off entirely , pants shrank down hardly covering his knees. Medical assistance helped him off In resting area , Jax came up. “It looks like it is up to me now” mentioned Lionel. “I will try beat my brother ; it is no easy task” replied Jax. “I am pretty sure you could win if you just went toe-to-toe with one of most powerful fighters on island ; almost win.” stated Lionel. “I will be watching from stands with Kiyoshi & Felix” declared Lionel. “Thanks for boosting confidence” replied Jax.
