<Thundera Tiger> Hello and thanks for joining us!

<Lady Thundera> We're still in the cauldron room, and we're waiting for the statue power lifting event to begin.

<Tiger> In this event, the ASOE statues will be pushed onto the contestants.  The contestant that manages to avoid being crushed and keeps the statue up the longest wins.

<Lady T> Isn't this a bit dangerous?

<Tiger> What event isn't?

<Lady T> Good point.  Here are our competitors.  From the Thundercats, we have Panthro.  No surprise they picked him, and he is expected to do well.  The Driller is entered from Mumm-Ra's team.  I'm not sure what to expect from him.  RoBear Bob is entered for the Third Earthers.  I think Panthro may have some spare parts for the Tank by the time this is done.

<Tiger> He might be nice and put the Berbil back together, too.

<Lady T> He might.

<Tiger> Mandora is entered for the humans.  She's a good cop, but I don't think she has much muscle.  Amok for the Lunatacs.  He'll probably do pretty well.  And Slithe is entered for the mutants.  His tail has a lot of muscle, so he might walk away with a surprise medal.

<Lady T> And here's our first competitor.  It's Panthro.  He looks like he's ready.  Lion-O, TugMug, and Monkian are pushing the statue over.  And he's caught it!

<Tiger> He's holding it up.  He's holding it up for quite a while.  The sweat is pouring down his brow but he's holding steady.

<Lady T> Yeah, but he's not holding for much longer.  And he's diving away.  But that was a good hold.

<Tiger> Slithe is next.  He's setting his tail up to catch the statue.  And Lion-O, TugMug, and Monian are pushing away.

<Lady T> Lion-O looked entirely too eager to push that statue over.  Anyway, Slithe has caught it and he's holding it up, too.

<Tiger> But look at him shake.  I don't think he'll equal Panthro's time.

<Lady T> Good call.  He's jumped out of the statue's way.  RoBear Bob's turn.

<Tiger> Whoops.

<Lady T> Amok's turn.

<Tiger> I didn't think Berbils had so many parts.

<Lady T> And Amok has caught the statue.  And Amok is leaving.  Why is Amok leaving?

<Tiger> One of the Berbil parts looks like candy.

<Lady T> Um...RoBear Bob really didn't need all his parts, did he?

<Tiger> I hope not.  Here's the Driller.

<Lady T> If he's not careful, when that statue tips over he's going to...never mind.  It caught on his drill and he's destroyed the statue.

<Tiger> Mandora still needs to go.  We'll have to change statues.  Oh, and Mumm-Ra isn't happy about the statue's destruction.

<Lady T> No, he's not.  And here goes the push.  The statue is falling...it's still falling...it's still falling...

<Tiger> Wait a minute.  That's not a statue.  That's--

<RD Rivero> IT IS I,  RD RIVERO THE ANCIENT SPIRIT OF EVIL!

<Lady T> Was this on the agenda?

<Tiger> Who was running distraction?!

<Lady T> I wouldn't ask.  I think there are caracases outside.

<RD Rivero> MANDORA WINS!  I STAY UP INDEFINITELY!!!

<Lady T> Do the rules really say that?

<Tiger> She's already been disqualified for outside help.  Let's get out of here.

<Lady T> And so we have Panthro with first, Slithe with second, and Amok with third.

<Tiger> YOW!

<Lady T> What?!

<Tiger> RD stepped on my tail!!!

<RD Rivero> MWAHAHAHAHA!  SQUASHED TIGER TAIL!!!

<Lady T> And if we get out of this pyramid alive, we'll see you at the closing ceremonies!
