Announcer: "The first match of the semi-finals is Andre vs. Theodore! Please make your way out to the arena!"

The two warriors stood up and began walking out to the ring as Jaclyn stood in Andre's way before he went out.

Jaclyn: "Friendly advice: keep your guard up and hit hard. I sense there's more to him, but I haven't figured it out yet."

Andre: "I know. It seems your friend Luna is interested in him, or am I wrong?"

Jaclyn: "I'm not certain; however, we both will be paying attention to the fight."

Andre: "Thanks for the heads-up, but I got this. Just sit back and enjoy."

Andre walks out to the crowd, cheering as he focuses on Theodore, standing in the ring with his arms folded. Once Andre(who felt nervous for the first time but had confidence in his skills) entered the ring, the referee called for the bell, and the match had begun. Theodore unfolded his arms as Andre began circling him to see if he could spot a weakness, but of course, there wasn't. Andre rushed in with multiple punches to Theodore, who took each attack. Andre jumps backward before delivering various punches and kicks to Theodore, who absorbs each attack as Andre jumps backward again. Theodore walked towards Andre, who kept his distance before using a Fireball at Theodore, who blocked the attack and then delivered a quick knee strike to Andre's stomach, forcing him to the ground. Andre looked up at Theodore, who gave him a swift kick that sent him out of the ring and hit a wall. The referee begins counting to ten as everyone in the back area wonders if he will be okay. Once the referee reached five, Andre got to his feet and returned to the ring, which stopped the counting. Andre got into the ring and wiped the blood off his face as Theodore stared at him.

Andre: "Nice kick. You drew blood from me with that kick, which means you have more power than I could have imagined. I wonder what else you are hiding from me?"

Theodore: "Stop talking and fight."

Theodore rushes Andre to deliver multiple attacks, but Andre can dodge each attack before delivering a shoulder block to Theodore, who catches him and throws him across the ring. Andre was able to catch himself as Theodore was coming toward him, which prompted Andre to use a Flame Spin on Theodore, who went straight through the attack. Theodore delivers a massive headbutt to Andre, then gives him a hard punch to his stomach and another swift kick that sends him out of the ring again. The referee begins his counting. Andre got up at the count of five again and teleported back to the ring. Andre's Rai began to rise as Theodore stared at him until Andre rushed in and delivered a massive punch to Theodore, who blocked the attack. The force from the punch pushed him backward. Andre would punch Theodore again, who blocked the attack, yet the force drove him back. Theodore noticed Andre would charge his Rai into his fists before delivering an attack, which made Theodore focus more on Andre than he had been. Andre rushed towards Theodore to deliver another punch, but this time, Theodore delivered another punch, which caused a major shockwave upon impact. The impact made it through the force field, protecting the people, as they felt a major burst of wind across their faces. Theodore grabbed Andre's fist and began to lift him in the air. Andre struggled to break free from his grasp until Theodore delivered a punch to Andre's stomach and then proceeded to throw him across the ring. Andre would teleport into the sky without Theodore or anyone else knowing. Andre begins to check out his hand as he stares at Theodore, who finally looks up in the sky to notice Andre.

Andre thinks ("He has the strength advantage over me, and I can't keep fighting him like this, or I'll be exhausted in the next round. I guess it's time to show my true power.")

Andre landed back on the ground with his eyes closed as Theodore stared at him. The chaos eyes activated once Andre opened his eyes, and his Rai rose even higher. Theodore began to raise his Rai as well, and Andre quickly teleported behind him to deliver a punch, but Theodore was able to block it. However, Andre quickly swept Theodore's feet from underneath him, forcing Theodore to teleport. Andre was able to meet him before he reappeared again. Theodore could block Andre's next attack as he stared into the chaos eyes before the two separated. Theodore would use an Earth Blast attack, and Andre countered it with a Water Blast attack. The attack clashed as Theodore teleported into the air to use an Earth Twister attack on Andre, who used a giant Flame Blast to counter the attack. Once again, the attacks clashed as Theodore returned to the ground to begin another attack, but Andre quickly elbowed Theodore in the stomach and kicked him out of the ring. Everyone was shocked, as this was the first real damage that Theodore had taken in any fight. Theodore would stand up and dust himself off before walking back towards the ring as Andre stared at him. Once back in the ring, the two warriors would have a stare-down as the crowd was cheering for more action. Andre created space between the two as he unleashed a Full-Scale Fire Blast at Theodore, who used an Earth Shield to block the attack. Theodore threw the same shield at Andre and then used a Wind Blades attack as Andre dodged both attacks without much trouble before Theodore rushed in to deliver a punch. Andre would catch the punch and use his Dambe (Bare-knuckle boxing) and Engolo fighting style to knock Theodore down, as the nation leaders were surprised to see that happen. Theodore was beginning to stand up as Andre charged up his Rai; it started to become lightning. Theodore's Rai began to become earth-like, which showcased that he, too, had control over an element like Andre. Andre was looking to finish the fight with his last attack, and so was Theodore, which made the nation leaders reinforce the force field to protect the people. Theodore unleashed an Earth Cyclone Blast, and Andre unleashed a Full Power Lightning Blast. Both attacks would collide; however, Andre's attack was stronger than Theodore's, and he overcame his attack. Theodore was blown out of the ring and was knocked out as the referee checked on Theodore to make sure he was alive before giving the victory to Andre. The crowd went wild as Andre fell to the ground, and his attack took more out of him than he expected. Marcus and John teleported into the ring to grab Andre and help him get back to the back for medical help. Marcus couldn't stay, however, as the next battle was him vs. Travis! Travis walks towards the ring as Marcus is still with Andre before John tells him to proceed. Marcus walks out to the ring and starts to feel the pressure coming down on him as he approaches the ring. Once he was in the ring, the bell sounded, and the fight began. Marcus kept his distance as Travis had a smirk on his face before unleashing a Whirlwind attack at Marcus. Marcus dodged the attack and immediately went straight to Travis to throw punches at Travis, who dodged each attack. Travis blocked one of Marcus' punches and delivered a strong kick that sent Marcus to the edge of the ring. Marcus was able to stop his movements. Marcus would use a Water Blast attack, but Travis immediately counters it with an Earth Shield before teleporting behind Marcus and punching him in the kidney. Marcus grabs a hold of his kidney as Travis walks in front of him with a smirk. Marcus tries to hit him, but his punch is caught. Travis charged up his Rai in one of his fists and punched Marcus multiple times. Anthony was getting angry again and was about to walk out there; however, Andre stopped him as he finally recovered.
