"Welcome, everyone.  I'm Trevor Lake, and welcome to this scuba guantlet 8 man 
tag, between the Care Bears and a side comprising of 3 Disney characters, plus 
Grubby, for they couldn't find anyone else.  For those of you who are 
unfamiliar with the concept of a guantlet tag match, allow me to educate you 
in the matter."

"What happens is that there's two bases where contestants are launched from, 
one for each side.  One for each side is launched at the start of the fight, 
and they fight untill one kills the other.  Then the side the victim was on 
launches someone else to fight.  This goes on untill one side runs out of 
combatants, making the other side the winners.  Now then, this is a sanctioned 
match, so all characters killed here will be revived soon after the fact.  
Now, I'll announce the rosters for each side."

"For the Care Bears, their line-up consists of the strong Lotsaheart Elephant, 
the leader Tenderheart, the intelligent Brightheart, and the all-around 
athelete, Champ.  This team doesn't have a great amount of strength or size, 
outside of maybe Lotsaheart, but they can surprise anyone who dares to 
underestimate them.  One very important thing here though is that their stares 
aren't allowed, so they'll have to get their hands a little dirtier than 
perhaps they're used to."

"For their opponents, the Disney crew, we have Gruffi, from the Gummi Glen, 
Grubby, from the Teddy Ruxpin realm who they had to bring in due to lack of 
available competitors, Goofy, the dummy friend of Mickey Mouse, and Donald 
Duck, the very experienced duck who came to help defend Disney's honor.  This 
is a somewhat more established group, especially with talent in the form of 
Donald and Grubby.  Donald has a lot of skill and experience under his belt, 
and you don't want to be there when he gets wound up.  Grubby is a fairly 
large guy, the largest in this battle today.  Being an octopede, his eight 
arms are a major part of his arsenal, and his Root Stew Breath finishes even 
the most stalwart of men.  Gruffi and Goofy aren't nearly as strong, but 
they're competitors."  

"Now, neither team knows the order in which the other team's fighters are 
going to appear.  Also, to spice things up, there's going to be two characters 
interfering for each side at various points in the fight, to keep the fighters 
on their toes.  Well, it looks like they're getting ready to fire the gun to 
start up this thing.  They're fighting in a large aquarium, with a marine 
habitat.  They're wearing full gear, which includes air tanks, mask, flippers, 
aqualung, and rebreather.  Noone's taken the optional wetsuit, all going for 
swim trunks, and nothing at all in Grubby's case.  Both teams are talking it 
over, before sending out their first fighters.  The starter's gun just went 
off, and coming out for both teams...."

"... Lotsaheart and Gruffi!  Looks like the Care Bears want to get off the 
ground running here by sending out their power man first, and he may be a 
favorable matchup against the small and inexperienced Gruffi.  They're 
swimming right for each other, doesn't look like either one intends to be 
tricky, a fact that will likely work more in Lotsaheart's favor.  Lotsaheart 
stops though, and starts taunting the Gummi, by blowing bubbles through his 
trunk!  Gruffi, hot headed as he is, is incited to swim faster at his 
pachederm opponent.  Lotsa, still taunting, is moving in front of some larger 
rocks now, about 5 feet behind him.  Gruffi closes the distance to 10 feet, 
and now seems to be making a wave challenge to Lotsa, to face him 'Gruff to 
trunk'."

"However, Lotsa is beckoning back, while at the same time moving in front of a 
wall and keeping 5 feet in between him and Gruffi.  Gruffi is trying to swim 
above and keep Lotsa in his sights... he's charging down at him!  This is 
insane... and Lotsa affirms that by rocketing off the wall he was against with 
his feet, and nailing Gruffi with an uppercut in transit, sending the gummi 
flying down unto the sediment next to some small rocks.  Lotsa is closing in 
on the downed Gruffi quickly, and now he's trying a splash on him to end it 
quickly!  Gruffi, recovering quickly, manages to nail Lotsa with a strong hit 
to the stomach with an outstretched fist, and now the Care Bear starter is in 
some pain.  Gruffi is now trying to follow up with a double kick, but Lotsa 
easily blocks the move.  Lotsa suddenly is trying to use his trunk to remove 
Gruffi's rebreather, but muffs it up badly, missing the target entirely.  
Lotsanow goes for a trunk slap, but Gruffi seems to have anticipated the move 
and grabbing for it, but missed anyway, and gets nailed in the face!  The pink 
pachederm quickly follows up with a 1-2 punch to Gruffi's mask, in an attempt 
to shatter it.  He doesn't shatter the mask, but messes it up considerably, 
dazing his opponent, and forcing him back.  Gruffi's trying to readjust his 
mask and retreat, but Lotsa says no to that, as he closes in, goes for the 
rebreather again, even putting his feet on Gruffi's stomach for leverage.  The 
rebreather finally comes out of Gruffi's mouth, and now he's holding his 
breath, and not in great shape either, with Lotsa holding all the momentum."

"This is pretty well over, folks.  Lotsa gets through Gruffi attempt at a grab 
with a couple of punches to the gut.  Gruffi's stunned, and Lotsa wastes no 
time in grabbing Gruffi in a bearhug, and quickly squeezing the air and the 
life out of him.  Gruffi goes limp, and the Care Bears have drawn first blood 
in this battle.  Disney's next character is about to come into play....  but 
first, a hole in the surface opens, and Shreeky, eternal enemy of Care Bears 
everywhere, pops through, sans mirrior.  She's about 15 feet above Lotsa.  
Plus, 40 feet away, Grubby pops out of the Disney hatch."  

"Grubby starts off by closing the distance about 20 feet and watching what 
happens between Shreeky and his enemy.  Now this is very interesting... Lotsa 
is stealing the air tanks from Gruffi's dead body.  He's smashing the guages 
and fires the tanks at Shreeky!  Huh... the tanks died before they reached 
her... that's kinda odd... she's taking advantage by closing to 5 feet away.  
She stops, however, and tries to maintain her position.  Lotsa doesn't seem so 
willing to make the first move either.  Grubby's just decides to rise up 3 
feet from his previous position and do nothing else.  Huh... Lotsa looks like 
he's just run out of air!  Grubby now seems to be trying to close the 
distance, and getting behind Shreeky, but she's closing aggressively... spear!  
It was just a trick to lure Shreeky in, and Lotsa just got her with a massive 
spear.  Grubby's now deciding to try to surprise Lotsaheart with a charge, but 
he giant swings and throws Shreeky at him!  Grubby barely dodges to the side, 
and the Care Bear cousin winds up a little dizzy.  Grubby is trying to swing 
to Lotsa's left side.  The elephant tries to stay defensive until his head 
clears, but Grubby does manage to nail a few rib shots with his many arms.  
Lotsa is now trying to run away, but Grubby grabs his enemy's flippers, and 
pulls him in, and punches some more with his free hands, wearing him down.  
Now he's trying to fully grab him, trying to lock all 8 of his arms around 
him, but Lotsa does manage to jostle Grubby's mask a bit.  Grubby readjusts, 
how he fully clamps on him, pretty well completely immoblizing the pachederm, 
as Lotsa vainly tries to kick Grubby... but Grubby blows a ton of bubbles in 
Lotsaheart's face.  They explode... and Lotsa is gassed to death.  That was 
the Root Stew Breath, folks, brought on by years of Grubby eating that awful 
Root Stew of his!"

"Now coming out of the Care Bear hatch is Tenderheart, now about 15 feet off.  
Grubby tries to quickly get under Tenderheart, but this is rather difficult 
with Tenderheart trying to circle and gather speed.  We should also note 
Shreeky is getting rather close again.  Anyway, Grubby tries to grab for the 
feet from underneath, but Tender continues to circle away from him and 
Shreeky, forcing Grubby to miss. Suddenly, to Grubby's surprise, Shreeky jumps 
on his back!  She's trying to choke the hell out of him!  Looks like she 
doesn't really doesn't give a damn about who she kills anymore.  Grubby tries 
to rip Shreeky off, but she manages to hold on fast. To make matters worse for 
Grubby, Tenderheart makes a full speed Gore into Grubby's stomach areas! It's 
hard enough to make Grubby severely weakened, as evidenced by the pain on his 
face, and the fact Grubby's rebreather popped out of his mouth.  This is only 
a taste of how demanding underwater combat can be, folks.  Grubby tries to 
grab her again, and succeeds this time, hitting Tenderheart with her, who had 
grabbed his
rebreather. Tenderheart lets go of the thing and Grubby gets it back and 
gladly puts it back in his mouth and starts breathing again.  Shreeky was also 
knocked out by the impact, so she'll drown soon, so it's over for her."

"In the meantime, Grubby tries to back pedal, but he has a hard time getting 
started, as he just started to breathe again, and he's got those sore ribs.  
Tenderheart forces close combat, and fakes a punch to the face, which Grubby 
reacts to. Then, he nails two good punches, in the ribs, further weakening 
that sore area.  I can imagine Grubby's movement being restricted after this.  
Grubby is now trying to turn around, but this seems to be what Tenderheart 
expected. He starts above, waits for the complete turn, and as Grubby tries a 
stomach kick, Tenderheart grabs him around the throat!  Tenderheart is trying 
to squeeze as much as possible to try to finish this thing off.  Grubby best 
attempts at shrugging off the Care Bear leader are fruitless.  Tenderheart 
looks like he's trying to snap the octopede's neck, but Grubby's trying one 
last deparate move... he's tickling Tenderheart!  My, my... it actually 
worked!  Tenderheart is forced off, and Grubby might be back in business 
here... and he takes a deep breath, and knocks Tender big time with a perfect 
back kick to the stomach!  Tender loses his rebreather, and doubles over.  
Grubby turns around, and advances towards Tenderheart, before Tender can 
recover, he finds himself in a bearhug much like Lotsa was in, and he's 
squeezing the life out of Tender."

"Grubby continues the pressure through a badly placed headbutt from 
Tenderheart, and how Tenderheart, perhaps anticipating the breath, tries to 
bite down on Grubby's rebreather.  Doesn't look good.... Grubby never intended 
to do that anyway... and Tender's eyes close as he drowns to death in Grubby's 
grip.  Grubby releases the dead Care Bear, but sees fairly far away that Pete, 
Disney's first interference, is now popping in from a hole at the top.  And 
now, Brightheart Raccoon is shooting out of the Care Bear hatch 15 feet away 
from Grubby.  They all seem to be rather passive... Brightheart and Grubby are 
just jockeying for position, While Pete is slowly closing in... Brightheart's 
weaving away a bit, as Grubby shoot about 5 feet to the bottom.  Now 
Brightheart goes on the same level as Grubby, while going back to around 10 
feet away. Grubby tries to swim around, but Pete manages to lead his swimming 
line on him... and he grabs him by one of his legs! He pulls him in and now 
has him in a grab from behind! Grubby is being squeezed like a vice.  With 
Brightheart sitting back and watching in glee, Grubby tries to get out of this 
the same way he got out of
the first hug. However, his weakened ribs and the strength of the hold render 
that impossible... and Grubby's organs are folding like paper, and Pete 
crushes the octopede in his massive size.  Pete takes away his victim, and 
leaves the pool, as if you're interference and kill someone, you must leave."

"Now that Pete's left the pool, the Care Bears 2nd and final interference, 
Beastly, is now slipping through the hole, as Goofy enters for the Disney 
cause from their hatch.  Beastly is 20 feet above Brightheart, and Goofy is 30 
feet off.  Another slow start here, with Goofy and Beastly swimming at their 
mutual opponent.  Brightheart is going for Beastly, however, thinking him to 
be the easier opponent, apparently.  Brightheart is now accelerating for a 
shot on Beastly!  But Beastly was ready as soon as he saw the raccoon 
accelerate and he dodged to the side and kicked him in the gut as he passed 
by.  Goofy is creeping closer in the meantime and decides to just watch.  In 
the meantime, Brightheart tries to fool Beastly into thinking Goofy's coming 
for him from behind, but Beastly doesn't even really seem to care and gives 
Bright a double kick tro the stomach. He then grabs him by the back of the 
head and then firmly shoves his face into his fur, holding it in place, 
whatever that does... wait a minute... looking at Brightheart's vital signs, 
it seems to have a very toxic effect on Bright.... and after very futile 
resistance, he's dead.  7 seconds after Beastly shoved Brightheart's head into 
his fur, the raccoon was dead... guess the Care Bears and Beastly's other 
opponents have something to watch out for now.  Champ is going nuts in the CB 
base, now he's getting on his gear and has exited after Beastly left with his 
first kill ever.  Also, Glomgold is the 2nd and final Disney interference, and 
is entering the arena."

"Goofy turns around and closes the distance on Glomgold with a tornado, with 
hits full on, and send him back a few feet. Champ just charges Goofy's way, 
and gets 20 feet before Goofy tries to double kick back on Glomgold... but 
misses as Glom dodges it. Champ suddenly comes in on Goofy, gets behind him, 
and grabs him by the neck while nailing him in the head!  Champ wants Goofy 
dead here... I don't recall ever seeing him like this, nor would I imagine has 
anyone else.  Champ shuts off Goofy's tank, but Goofy manages to hit him with 
a low blow right afterwards by swinging his foot back. Champ releases the 
hold, and he hits Glom in the gut swinging his fist foward.  With Goofy now 
holding his breath, he shoots below about 10 feet, and as Glomgold follows, he 
has enough time to turn on his tanks again.  Glomgold is in close again 
though. Champ remains in position and weathers the effects the low blow.  
Goofy tries to shoot up and nail Glomgold, but he's ready this time, as he 
dodges, and grabs Goofy by the legs, preventing further ascent! Champ comes 
down and easily nails the held Goofy in the head with a double fist smash, and 
Goofy's in trouble.  Champ has just grabbed Goofy's muzzle, and he makes a 
hard twist, actually managing to snap the neck and kill the Fab Five member in 
an instant.  Seeing that, Glomgold, satisified I suppose, leaves the arena.  
Here comes, Donald, folks!  It all comes down to this!"

"Well, this is pretty reserved at first, seeing as Donald's only closing the 
distance slowly, and Champ is remaining purely defensive.  Distance is now 5 
feet, and now Champ finally makes a move, faking a charge, going only a foot, 
but he gets no reaction from the duck, who now stops and waits for him. He 
then decides to moves on for a roundhouse to the gut, but Don easily evades 
it.  Don now takes the offensive, going for one-two kicks to Chamnp's gut; he 
dodges the first one, but the second connects. He tries to grab on to the 
foot, but fails... Champ's clearly hurting a bit now.  Don fakes a kick at 
Champ, who is fooled and 'dodges' the would be kick; as soon as he comes in 
for a shot to the throat, he's missed as Don swam up, and easily connects with 
a perfect one-two kick to Champ's noggin, dazing him.   Donald suddenly starts 
doing the flailing motion with his arms when he gets angry. Champ is riddled 
with hits.  A bid to knock out his rebreather is successful in the confusion 
as well after the move ends.  With Champ on the ground and with no rebreather, 
and Donald over him, he's in a lot of trouble.  Don goes off the ground, 
dodging a groin kick from Champ. Donald goes right for the neck, but Champ 
gets his rebreather back in. Don still has him by the neck, and he tries to 
pounces on Champ's gut, but as he comes down, Champ catches him with both feet 
on Donald's! He manages to push him off, and Champ regains a normal position, 
not to mention his rebreather.  Champ goes for a spear... but Donald goes for 
a hurricana!  They pass each other completely!  Now they both try low sweeps, 
expecting a charge from the other... this is funny.  They swim right at eahc 
other, and Donald pulls back on Champ's mask, and then snaps it back on him. 
This stops what Champ was trying to do, a fake kick. His mask has water in it 
now, and it's crooked somewhat.  Donald uses the momentary stun to swim back a 
bit. Champ tries to move for a bearhug, but Donald catches him full on with a 
spear! Takes Champ right down to the ground. Champ is too stunned to do 
anything at all at the moment.  Donald then does the same choke, and hits the 
pounce he tried before. This knocks the rebreather out of Champ's mouth. Champ 
is losing it fast... and he loses it all as Don come down on his gut yet 
again, and Champ sucks it down, and Donald wins it for Disney!"

"Well, folks, you really gotta give it up for the Care Bear team.  They were 
the underdogs coming into this, and they fought hard, but Champ eventually 
just got overwhelmed by a superior Donald.  Can't forget Grubby, either, 
killing two himself.  Well, We gotta go, folks.  Untill next time!"
