It€™s Axeon, accelerating out of his spot so fast it makes him seem like a blur, who charges into the champ. Salamander turns around and just moves of range, its wheel cutting an arc in front of Axeon€™s wedge as it passes by. With its disc nearly up to speed, Salamander tries to turn around and strike Axeon, only to find Axeon has moved right behind him! Alarmed, Alex tries to rush away, but CLANG! Axeon brings down the axe, right onto Salamander€™s disc! It€™s foiled by the hardox, but nonetheless it manages to stop the disc from achieving anything other than becoming stationary. With the champ firmly in its grasp, Axeon heads over to one of the CPZs, raising the axe as he does so. Eventually Salamander gets pushed into Double Whamlet. Obelix Bulguous remains where he is, waiting. WHACK! The twin axes fall, right onto the axle of Salamander but no damage gets done to the 3mm hardox. CLANG! Axeon uses its own axe now, but again no damage is dealt. It seems Obelix is tired of waiting around because he€™s left the CPZ and...slammed right into Axeon! BANG! The hammer falls...and misses! Instead it€™s the hammer axle that smacks into Axeon€™s top and bounces the hammer back! Axeon can€™t seem to turn around, and seems to be trapped...OH! Axeon is pushed into Salamander, and the champ is on Axeon€™s wedge now, supported by Whamlet! Axeon withdraws the axe and fires it again, only to copy Obelix and hit Salamander€™s axe with his own axe arm. Obelix pushes, and Whamlet pushes, and Axeon is now breached at the rear by Obelix€™s wedge and Salamander falls out of harm€™s way! This means that Whamlet is sent into Axeon€™s front. He hastily gets out of the way as Axeon fires his axe again, missing. Obelix has had enough fun for now and retreats back to his CPZ as Salamander runs rabid across the arena, flywheel now spinning freely. Axeon spins around, leaves the CPZ edge, and rams him at the wheel, raising it. WHACK! Another good axe blow, and this time, there€™s some damage! A nice dent in that 3mm hardox, right in the middle of the axle! Talk about getting in the middle of things! ...okay, bad joke. Anyway, here€™s Salamander now, about to make Axeon pay for that hit. Axeon backs off, and tries to turn and move away from the incoming hazard, but Salamander is too quick. A slight shock for AJ, but shaking it off he bores down upon the axlebot, confident that the front wedge can take many a beating. Axeon€™s spun again, but it€™s a 360 and he rushes Salamander again immediately afterward. Salamander spins to the other side, but Axeon stops, lines the front wedge up quickly, and charges his adversary. WHAM. He€™s got €˜em, and he€™s taking €˜im to the cleaners! WHAM! Salamander is smacked into Obelix€™s CPZ! Obelix greets the axlebot with a wedge to the rear and a BANG - ooh. It sucks to miss, doesn€™t it Obelix? Axeon however isn€™t going to miss this chance and tackles the champ disc-first, bringing down the axe. WHACK! The axle takes punishment once more, as Salamander lays there helplessly, left to the spoil of the axes! Whamlet charges at Salamander€™s side from across the entire arena, and Axeon sees his chance. He backs off, and before Salamander can get away from Obelix, in comes Whamlet with the plow - WHAM! Another tackle, and Axeon moves in, gets the near wheel of Salamander...WHACK! It€™s good! A direct hit on the wheel, and the rubber is sliced right apart! WHACK! Whamlet adds to Alex€™s misery, causing another slight dent in the axle. BANG! Obelix finally lands a blow on the disc, but it€™s ineffective. Axeon retracts his own axe and lets it fly again. WHACK! The aluminium boron carbide wheel is smacked, getting damaged quite nastily! WHAM! Salamander is smacked against the wall in the CPZ. 
Cosmic Thunder struggles but to no avail, and pretty soon...BZZT! Ah, lovely. The 6mm titanium gives way to a soaking of sparks. The Watcher, having seen enough, decides to ram Killotine from the side to release Cosmic Thunder. Rather incensed, Killotine retracts the axe, lifting Cosmic Thunder off the ground a bit as it goes back, and then finally the wedge falls to the ground. Alex hurriedly drives his robot away, unkeen on another and possibly fatal stabbing and sawing. His tires seem to be fine as they manoeuvre Cosmic Thunder around the arena, and eventually we end up back where we started, as both bots are facing each other. Steve, confidently, drives Killotine around Cosmic Thunder, the latter keeping the wedge on him, and following up with a charge mid-way through. Killotine avoids this, just barely, but now Cosmic Thunder has a clear shot at Killotine€™s rear! Just how quickly can Killotine react to this? ...not quick enough, as Cosmic Thunder finds the side instead of the rear, and...yep, he€™s got under that damned skirt! FLIP! Over goes Killotine, right up onto its back! The axe fires but Cosmic Thunder is right there waiting for him to land, and Killotine collapses right on back onto the flipper. Cosmic Thunder€™s going to the arena wall! Here€™s the FLIP! Aaaaaand...no. The flip sends Killotine flying into the wall, but definitely not over it, and at a great angle, as Killotine lands on its back, rights itself, and gets away before Cosmic Thunder can really try another attempt at an OOTA. Killotine roams around the arena, stops at the pit release button, spins around, and is nearly bowled over by a rocketing Cosmic Thunder who shoves him right into the button - OH NO! He€™s opening the pit, but Killotine has him in line with it! AND - ooohhh...what a close call, as Cosmic Thunder spins away - WHOA! Killotine nearly sends himself in. Cosmic Thunder gets in again, and takes a stab at Killotine€™s sides again, but Killotine€™s already turned to him and rammed him back. Speaking of stabbing...WHACK! There€™s the axe again, and it€™s made a hole in a place right beside the earlier hole! Killotine pushes Cosmic Thunder around, and towards the wall again. WHAM. Shoved - HEY! Killotine€™s got under Cosmic Thunder€™s wedge! Nice breach of security there, Stevo. WHACK! Cosmic Thunder gets hax0red again, and surprisingly in the same place as before, though it€™s hard to tell if any additional damage was caused. Killotine has grabbed him again, though, and plans to execute his foe ASAP! Twisting round, he brings Cosmic Thunder back to the arena saws. BZZT! Oho! That just flung Cosmic Thunder away off of Killotine, nearly wrenching Killotine€™s axe head off, and...ironically, onto the flame pit. Killotine races after him, putting the axe firmly back into place. Cosmic Thunder, in the light of the flames, blindly lunges out. It proves to be costly, as Killotine tackles him in the side. No skirt penetration, but it€™s the axe€™s time to shine. WHACK! The Lexan on the other side of the flipper gets it, and Cosmic Thunder isn€™t able to pull away in time as he€™s grabbed once more by Killotine. Steve then remembers that the pit is open, and shakes his head, wondering why he didn€™t take Cosmic Thunder there the second time. This time, however, it€™s quite clear what Steve€™s intentions are, and try as Alex might, it doesn€™t look like he€™s going to be to escape his ultimate fate. Killotine lunges towards the pit, Cosmic Thunder with the axle lodged in the Lexan, and unable to fight against the tug of Killotine€™s axe is shoved down...BOOM! In this tournament, he has defeated: Oof. Bar is smacked against it. SUNCUST moves in, but Bar turns one of wheels towards SUNCUST. This really sounds improper, as Martijn clearly wanted to keep the wheels away, but now we see that Bar has just moved away from the jaws. So, in fact, Bar just needed more room to manoeuvre, that€™s all. SUNCUST however is displeased with this current state of events. Though his enemy apparently cannot damage him that much, he can€™t seem to catch Bar and clamp down. Bar spins up again, not wanting to be caught idle, and moves in on SUNCUST, who cuts him and smacks him. Bar€™s tires are spinning, and there€™s no rubber flying off, but BZZT! Another hit, more sparks. AHA! There goes some rubber, see ya. SUNCUST goes for the other wheel, but gets a slight shunt from The Watcher. He slowly releases Bar, who drives away, and back, and away and back again. Yup, only in a circle, I guess.. The weapon is spinning up, though. BZZT! Ancalagon comes forth as well, and opens his own jaws, which make SUNCUST€™s own look small. Speaking of SUNCUST...hey, what the?! Let go of Asterix! You cheeky clamper, you! He just bit into Asterix€™s side! Now you know Ancalagon won€™t put up with that. Interesting...though Bar is out, his weapon is spinning and he can still move with the one wheel. Ancalagon has left Bar alone and turns on SUNCUST in wrath. SUNCUST, daring the housies even more...shoves Asterix into Ancalagon€™s own jaw! HAHAHAHA! Oh, how brilliant is this, what comic relief! Bar is spinning wildly, but that€™s all the time we have for this match. In this tournament, he has defeated: Frank€™s eyes follow his spinner as it travels into the air, higher than before and lands against the arena wall. Infusion has hardly stopped from that blow, however, and spinning round with the rim in front, now drives it into The Disc€™s disc! Infusion backs up, and...oh no, he€™s not thinking - Back to the fight, The Disc drives off of Infusion, and makes its way across the arena, spinning that titanium disc up to something fierce. Infusion finds its fetish for wheel pods again and chases them down, eventually outmanoeuvring The Disc and smacking into the one that looks like it€™s going to fall off. Infusion is taken for a ride along the arena wall, while The Disc skids across the arena, coming to rest near the wall opposite. THUD. Infusion lands right-side-up, and the rim begins to spin again. Frank seems tired, maybe he needs a mug of ginger beer. Oh, he€™s going to put the hurt on Infusion, or maybe it€™s the other way around, as the discs meet once again! Recovering from that blow, Infusion spins around and spins up the rim at the same time, daring The Disc to come near. Frank decides to have a repeated go at the sides, but Infusion, without giving a signal of any sort, blasts off from his current position, going towards the pods again...and past them?! And even further! The Disc turns, and realizes the real intention of Infusion: getting enough space to give The Disc one hell of a ram! Which he is doing right now!
