Chapter Twenty-three: Atomic Payoff

"Alright. My time to shine," Fourze thought to himself as he and Iida went to the stage. "Get ready! GO!!" Mic said as they started to fight. "Plate Beams!" Fourze thought to himself as he shot out beams from his plates. "Yeet!" Iida said as he dodged the beams. "What?" Fourze said. "Nice try. My turn," Iida said as he ran as fast as he could towards Fourze. "Not this time," Fourze said as he let out his tail beam, hitting Iida in the chest. "What in the…." Iida thought to himself. "I will win. Just you wait," Fourze said as he let out his atomic breath. "No!" Iida said as he got up and ran away from the atomic breath. "Haha. Nice try. I'll make you go back down," Fourze said as he shot out multiple beams from his plates. "I can't get hit by another one of those" Iida said as he took a deep breath "for max speed,you need a high oxygen intake,your engines with the extra oxygen will start revving at higher,and that will give you a higher speed. In our family we call this skill Recipico Burst" Iida's older brother said as he had a flashback "thank you" Iida thought as he yelled. "RECIPICO BURST!" Iida yelled as blue flames came out of the exhaust pipes on his calves. "What!" Fourze thought as Iida blitzed around the arena. "Burst Kick!" Iida said as he kicked Fourze in the chest with his increased speed, sending Fourze sliding back "oof,he can just dramatically increase his speed,i'll have to watch out for-" Fourze thought as Iida kicked him in the chin,puting Fourze on the back foot "Recipico Rush" Iida said as he threw a volley of kicks at Fourze. Fourze was pushed to the edge of the arena until he spotted an opening. "his kicks are devsatingly strong,but he can't keep this up,now i'm not a mechanic but Jamie is,and from what he told me, engines eventually overheat,when they are pushed to the brink of performance without break they will bust,performance will drop,and you'll be left with a busted engine" Fourze thought as he spotted Iida's kicks slowing down as steam came from his exhaust pipes. "right there!" Fourze thought as he caught one of his legs mid-kick "gotcha!" Fourze said as he used his tail to grab Iida's other leg "i can't keep using Recipico brust like that,i need to let my engines cool down,i should be fine if i use this though" Iida thought as he took another deep breath "Turbo burst!" iida said as red flames spattered out of his pipes "what now!" Fourze said as Iida kicked off of his chest and into the center of the arena "slippery,judging by the color of those flames and how much came out,your going to be a lot slower now" Fourze said as he charged up a new move "Kaiju Dama" Fourze thought as a massive ball of atomic energy was charged up above his mouth. "He's copying my Atomic Masenko,actually,this is different" Jamie thought as he could feel the energy coming from the blue ball of atomic energy. "This here is going to be final," Fourze said as he got his atomic breath ready. "Alright. Point it at the sky and make it pour atomic rain," Fourze thought to himself as the clouds started to come in. Fourze then let his atomic breath run into the clouds, making atomic raindrops. "What?" Iida thought to himself as the raindrops landed and exploded on him. "Aye yo what the…" Iida said as he fell to the ground unable to move. "Fourze wins!" Mic said as everyone cheered for Fourze. "Aye. Good match. I like your style," Fourze said as he helped Iida up. "Thanks. I'm Iida. Nice to meet you," Iida said. "I'm Fourze. Nice to meet you too," Fourze said as they walked off. "Congrats babe!" Jirou said as she ran to hug Fourze. "Thanks," Fourze said as he hugged her back. "After this, we going to celebrate," Jirou said. "After this though," Fourze said. "Alright," Jirou said.
