The battle has split into three parts: Kumar vs. Swipe, Hans vs. Makenzie, and Ox vs. Maken. “Playing with toys, people often say that. But no one ever says it twice. The first time is their last! Let's go, MakenZero!” Ox jumps through the mouth into the cockpit. A fluid covers most of the mechanical parts. Gears turn and the robot springs to the attack. Maken dodges one blow and springs off another to hit his arm. Maken performs the Ryuukansen, (Lunges toward enemy using a very powerful twist of the body doing a sideways slash.) The sword stretches the substance which now appeared to be rubbery skin but can't penetrate it.

“Maken those blows won't work! The thick skin just absorbs the shock!” Vivi screamed out. Ox spoke once again, “Shock absorption mechanism. And there's one more thing.” The robot’s arm twists backwards to grab Maken and smash him into the ground. “You’re a fool MakenZero. All of the joints rotate freely on the vertical and horizontal axis. The free-joint mechanism! No matter how many you've beaten, this is the first time you've fought one that isn't human!” Ox stared at Maken has he brushed himself off and got into a more lethal sword stance.

“Not human. That's true. So I need show no mercy,” Maken flips the reverse blade around. “First, I'll destroy this doll!” “A sharp-edged blow of course, however--,” Ox pressed a switch and the mechanism inside robot’s arm separates at the elbow. Maken's blow hits only rubber skin, which stretches like a rubber band and rebounds unharmed. “Only the rubber surface, processed for maximum ductility, and the steel control wires are left. Since the mechanics themselves are already detached, MakenZero himself could not sever them! This is the free-detachability mechanism.”

“Who are you?” Maken looked back at him with a confused look. “I? You're right. I haven't yet given my name. I am Ox the Mechanical Artist. I am the last descendant of a line of puppet masters that have refined the arts of construction and mechanics since the middle Ages!” “For someone who calls himself an artist, you don't seem to have much taste,” Maken referring to the some what weird looking thing he has been fighting. “People often say that. But there are many kinds of beauty. This robot is not my pursuit of beauty as an artist. The piece of perfected construction is of a far different kind of beauty--in short, as a mechanical master, this is my pursuit of functional beauty!”

Maken spoke again, “You call it functional beauty, but it's a great technology. Surely this technology could be put to better use, to serve people.” Ox nodded, “People often say that too. But does a master sword smith make a shaving razor? Does a great builder of fortresses build a housing project? The cutting edge of technology is always found in warfare. In the course of my research, I am always by the side of one who smells of battle, first NekamOrez, then Enishi Jovan, and now you, MakenZero.” Megan spoke, “Then that’s--,” Vivi finished for her, “That's why he's fighting Maken.” “Throughout all my past, I can't remember fighting a mechanics master or an artist. So I really don't have the time to play with toys!” Maken leaped forward. “A match of speed, to cut it before the mechanism has time to disengage? But I've had some experience in operating mechanics!” Ox starts up the robot again and parts begin to separate just as Maken performs Ryuushousen, (Rising Dragon Flash: Rises up from ground, using all force in an uppercut, hitting vital points.) But Maken only stretches rubber.

“No good! An instant too late,” said Megan. Maken twists the blade, wrapping the skin around it, and pulls. The skin bursts apart. “That's it! If he twisted the blade when the skin stretched out at its farthest, no matter how strong it was, it would have to break!” Vivi cheered. “I've had enough of you watching from on high--why don't you come down, Enishi?” Maken waves him to come down, yet Enishi only smiles. “You twisted it I see. I knew MakenZero would be awkward to deal with. Even though we're just playing with dolls, MakenZero, you're fighting me!” Ox screamed.

(Real Entry)

Sheesh you guys should see Georgia now. It’s frozen down in the south. This is worse the snow. Freaking ice and black ice everywhere! 16 miles of I-85 closed. How can that be!?! Well anyways I haven’t been feeling motivated for school much. I need to do something tomorrow. Or I’m really screwed. I got three test coming up Monday and Tuesday. Gosh I hate this. And getting a job is going to make it much easier either. I need o find a way through this.

I mean all I’m doing is staring into outer pace. One person said they really didn’t have many friends. The ones they had were out or with their partner. That’s kind of how I feel. I idn’t really want to say anything but I just feel really lonely. A girl I liked just got engaged today or whenever I don’t even know. She IMed me, and I was thinking we didn’t talk much right now because I was officially jealous. (Yes yes Rory does get that way! I’m a guy too you know that’s good and very bad! >.< So I was wondering why she IMed me. It wasn’t like her to do so. Then shoe dropped the BIG E word.

I just couldn’t say anything. And of course I’m very overprotective of her and such. But I didn’t say anything. I tried not to say anything I just told her I don’t know. And she didn’t want to hurt me. And it’s not like our relationship ended bad. (We went out before) But it seem like I wasn’t the one. I mean that’s hard to figure out who is the one and such. But I just felt like, dang it wasn’t me. I know she wanted to tell me because I was her friend, but I wish she would have remembered I really liked her still. So nothing could ever happen.

I guess I’m ok with it. I had to get up and walk around the house. I felt angry the calmed down. Then angry again then just almost out of control angry, but then I calmed down. Ate some cereal guess I needed something to eat. I was calmed and told her I was happy for her but I did tell her I wasn’t excited or thrill. At least I’m speaking the truth. And I told her I was glad she told me instead of me finding out unlike one last ex I had.

Went to go talk to someone from Georgia Tech. On of my cousins’ friends. I talked to her for a while and she just told me to look forward to work and just don’t worry about it. I worry too much over a girl I like for my own selfish deeds. Isn’t that sad? I don’t know what I’m going to do but I just have to realize that there are things that are just bigger then Rory.
