The Better Fox: Isaac vs Alex

Today was the day that Isaac and Alex finally set aside their differences and see who was the better fox. Both of the canines had changed out of their casual clothes and went home to wear something more appropriate for the event. A t-shirt and a pair of gym shorts were the desired outfits they wanted to wear as they would be extremely comfortable in that.

There wasn't a crowd to watch the boys compete against each other and that made them a little sad for all the wrong reasons. Neither of them really cared about winning as they just wanted to put the other fox down and into the ground where they belonged. Winning felt good, but beating the guy who thought he was better than you felt even better.

Inside of Isaac's head was where he was thinking of how easy this would be. Alex? Who was that? Some Lion from Madagascar? That guy was a circus act. A clown. Sure he was good at what he knew but he crumbled when it came to anything that he was unfamiliar with. Isaac was completely sure that he had this in the bag.

Inside of Alex's head was where he was thinking of how he would punish Isaac for losing. Maybe have him walk around naked with an Alex rocks sign? There was also the thought of having Isaac do his work for him while he and Liz went out and enjoyed themselves together. There was a lot on his mind and with Liz's help he was sure that victory was guaranteed.

The only spectators watching was Alex's girlfriend, Liz, and his stallion friend, Tracker. Liz was going to be Alex's coach in this while also providing moral support. She never lost to Isaac at anything so far and was fairly dominate when it came to beating him. With her help, she believed that Alex's victory would be quick and easy. Tracker on the other hand was completely different when it came to this. Unlike Liz vs Isaac, which was on sided, and Alex vs Isaac, which went back forward, Tracker never had any reason to compete against Isaac. He really respected the orange fox and was looking forward to a good competition.

Before the first event started up, Liz walked over to Alex to discuss their plan. Isaac didn't like what he saw but he did say that she could coach her boyfriend so he couldn't complain. Isaac only kept his eyes directed at them as he didn't want anything fishy to happen. It wasn't that he didn't trust them, it was more that he knew just how complicated they could be at times.

Using the time that they had, Liz spoke with Alex. "Alright Alex, there's no way we can lose this. Isaac told me that the competition was a mix of things that you both were good at. There's no way he can probably knit and unless he's a boy scout like you are I doubt he can climb or tie knots that well."

"But if it's a mix of things we're good at then wouldn't that mean he'd beat me at the things he's good at? I know I can beat him but I never heard him talk about anything he's good at." Alex may have been confident in his chances of winning but he wasn't ignorant. He has lost to Isaac before so he knows the other fox is somewhat of a challenge.

"That's where I come in. When you went to go change me and Isaac had a little talk over what you two would compete in. I told him things like knitting, running, and tree climbing for you. But when he told me what his choices were I decided to prepare specifically against his choices. Like I said, easy win for you." The Arctic wolf smirked evilly as Isaac set himself up for this.

"Won't Isaac catch on to what we're doing? What if he calls us out for this and he ends up winning? Then what?"

"Alex, I covered every possible thought he could have. He said I could coach which means I could help you with challenges. As long as I don't compete for you then I should be fine. And to be fair, he said if you win then I get a reward as well. Lets not forget he said if you lose that I suffer a punishment with you. As far as I'm concerned, I'm practically a player 3 designated on stopping him from winning."

Grabbing onto Liz, Alex hugged her and gave her a kiss as there was no way he could lose. "This is why I love you Liz. You're hot as hell and you're as smart as you are hot!" The couple proceeded to look over to Isaac to see if he heard anything but only a glare came from him.

"What's wrong Isaac? You're so scared of losing that your face froze up like this? Alex is gonna win this without breaking a sweat." Liz gloated.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're as delusional as you are hot. Come on Alex, stop hiding behind Liz and get over here! I'm competing against you, not her. And I don't have all day!" Isaac barked.

"Someone is in a rush to lose." Alex taunted. "And you never told me what the first event would be."

Isaac sighed and rolled his eyes as he walked over to a tree. "We're gonna climb this tree to the top. Liz said you were good at this so maybe you might be some competition after all? Who would of thought?" This time it was Isaac who was smirking as climbing trees was something he did for fun as a child. While it wasn't something he has done in years, he was still confident in his abilities here.

Before walking over to the tree he whispered some words into Liz's ear. "Liz, I thought you said he couldn't climb that well!"

"Alex, I said probably. And don't worry, I got a distraction just for him. Do me a favor and keep your eyes only on the tree. Agreed?"

"Agreed." Alex proceeded to make his way over to Isaac where they both stood underneath a tree. The branches weren't very high which meant climbing the tree would be much easier as long as someone could pull themselves up. Alex was able to see why Isaac picked this tree as it was one anyone could climb with ease.

Liz came walking over to the two foxes and spoke to Isaac. "You mind if I count down? That way neither of you has the countdown advantage."

"Well when you put it like that how can I say no? Ready when you are."

Raising her hand up into the air, Liz started the countdown. Isaac realized she had three fingers up in the air meaning he didn't have much time to really focus on any plans. He watched her hand carefully just in case something seemed off. Alex on the other hand kept his eyes on the tree. Liz was planning something and odds were it was very distracting.

"Get ready boys cause here comes the countdown. 3...2...1...GOWHOOOPS!" When Liz threw her hands down she accidentally pulled her shirt down as well which showed off her bra and some of her breasts. Isaac was captivated by the sight and couldn't pull his eyes off but Alex was focused solely on the tree and climbed off. Seeing as Alex had a good head start, Liz's plan was a success. "Hey Isaac, are you gonna stand there looking at a little cleavage or are you gonna race Alex?" Liz asked adjusting her shirt.

"Shit!" Grabbing onto the tree, Isaac quickly tried to pull himself up but he was wondering if it was a little to late. In such a short Alex was already so high up to where trying to catch him seemed hopeless. But what if he fell down? Now Isaac was hoping his rival would fall out the tree and not hurt himself to badly. That was his only chance at winning the first event and if that didn't happen then it was game over for him.

Despite Isaac trying his best to catch up, the gap was to much and Alex's superior tree climbing skills aided him to his victory.Once Liz saw him at the top she declared him the winner. "Congrats Alex! You made it to the top first! Now come down so we can rub it in Isaac's smug face!"

Hearing Liz's voice cheer her boyfriend told him that he wasn't gonna like the rest of this competition. Once they were both down Alex looked at Isaac with a cocky grin as he didn't even need to say anything to upset Isaac. "Listen here Alex, everyone gets one! And that was your one and only win. Liz, go get the food. It's time we try something I'm good at." While he was slightly upset over his first loss, he didn't lose focus. Was what happened with Liz on purpose or was it really an accident? He couldn't really prove anything for now and maybe he was thinking to hard about it.

With Liz gone, Alex was wondering just what were they going to eat and how she would help him here. Unlike Isaac who was able to eat as much as he wanted, Alex was a diabetic and wanted to try and stay in good health. Even if he could eat what was in front of him he doubted that he could out eat the other fox. Even if he was worried, he knew Liz would help him win this event with ease.

Sitting down over at the bench was where Tracker was. He was unaware of the fact that it was secretly a 2v1 with Liz helping Alex out. If he knew this was the case then he would be by Isaac's side helping him out as well. But for now, he was just sitting down and waving a flag trying to support both of the foxes the best way he could.

Around a minute later Liz came walking back with two pizza boxes stacked on top of each other and two plates wrapped in aluminum foil on top of the boxes. She handed both boys a box and a plate as they sat down and got ready. Curious as to what was under the foil, Alex removed it and noticed that they were eating red beans and rice. He looked up and noticed Isaac was smiling at him with a confident grin.

Once again, Liz raised her arm up and prepared for the countdown but was interrupted by Isaac. He noticed a weird smell going on with his food and didn't want to openly admit. "Alex, trade food with me."

"Why's that? Don't we have the same thing?" This time Alex was confused as to what was going on as Liz didn't tell him anything. 

"Liz might of messed with the food while she went to go get them and I wouldn't want to bite into something like dirt."

Alex looked over to Liz but she only shrugged at him. "Oh, well okay then." The two foxes swapped plates and pizza boxes and were now ready to eat.

"Alright boys, here we go. 3...2...1...GO!" Seeing as the beans would be easier for him to digest, Isaac started with that and wasted no time on devouring the food on his plate. Alex on the other hand ate at a slower pace than his rival did but noticed something was wrong with Isaac. The fox had stopped eating started coughing. His mouth opened up and his tongue rolled down as he started to pant heavily.

"Watuh! I need watuh!" Isaac jumped up and started walking in circles as really needed something to cool his mouth down. It felt like he ate a dying Sun that evaporated all the water in his body. His body slowly started to sweat and he immediately looked over to Liz. "Wiz! What did ywo do to muh food?!"

The Arctic wolf was laughing at the fox as he was struggling to understand what was going on. Alex was perfectly fine but yet Isaac was acting as if he was on fire. "You mean Alex's food, right? Alex likes his food REALLY hot and spicy so I seasoned his plate up specifically. I could of told you that but nothing said I had to." She dug through her pockets and tossed Isaac her keys. "I got a container of water bottles in my car. Try not to drink to many or else I'll have you pay for them." Isaac nodded his head and ran off to the parking lot as he really needed to dose the flames in his mouth out.

As Isaac ran off, Alex looked over to Liz and questioned what just happened. "Liz, was that planned or intentional? It seemed you went overboard with how hot you made my food."

"It wasn't meant for you Alex. I was relying on the fact that Isaac was suspicious of me messing with the food. Messing with his food would of been to obvious so I messed with yours knowing he would think something was up. With how strong those peppers were he couldn't tell whose food was smelling like that."

"Wow Liz, you weren't lying when you said you know how to handle Isaac. It's usually 50/50 when it comes to me vs him but you make it look like a cake walk."

"He'll get me back someday but that day isn't today. Hey Tracker! You want some pizza?! Isaac kinda lost this challenge so come have some!" The stallion came walking over to his friends as pizza sounded good.

"Sure. Gotta say Alex, you're doing phenomenal in this. You're up by 2 wins! Keep this up and you'll be sure to win." As he cheered his friend on, he grabbed a slice of pizza and took a bite out of it.

"It's Liz's win as much as it's mine. She knows how to beat Isaac and it's thanks to that that I'm winning so easily."

After chewing and swallowing her bite of pizza, Liz nodded her head and looked at Tracker. "He was so confident in winning as well. Such a shame he'll have to suffer a crushing defeat like this."

"It is actually." Tracker said swallowing his food. "Isaac is such a nice fox. I thought he could at least make this close but looks like Alex is just the better fox."

A couple of minutes had passed and finally Isaac returned looking like his old self again. The flames burning his inside were washed away and replaced with a new burning desire to win. Walking over to Liz, he handed her two dollars which she happily accepted. "Yeah I drunk quite a lot of water."

"I can see as you're handing me two dollars. I'm assuming with how much water you must of drunk that you pissed before you came here? After how long you were gone we shouldn't need another break." 

"Oh course I did! I feel nimble and light on my feet. Speaking of feet, next challenge!"

"We're running now?" Alex asked.

"Precisely. Although I would like to talk with Tracker first. If Liz gets to be your coach then wouldn't it be fair if he was mine?" Both Liz and Alex shrugged their shoulders as they couldn't see how that ruin things for them. Helping Tracker off the ground, he walked him over to a spot where they could chat in privacy. "Alright Tracker, I don't know you as well as I know them but what I do know from you is that you've been very nice and helpful to me the few time we have met. So with that knowledge I can trust you right?"

The stallion nodded his head. "You can trust me Isaac. But why do we need to talk so far away from Alex and Liz? You wouldn't try to cheat would you?"

"Cheating? Me?" Isaac asked placing his hands on his chest. "I'm a fox, a clever thieving bastard by origins. I would never cheat unless there was a good reason for it. But there is a reason, or should I say, will be a reason." The stallion really wasn't understanding what the fox was rambling on about but he stayed quiet and listened to what he was told. "I have my suspicions of those two and I can't really keep my eye on the two of them the whole time. Letting Liz help Alex was a mistake and will be how I lose this for sure. Maybe they're cheating or maybe I actually suck ass but that's where you come in. I got my eyes on Alex and I need you to watch Liz. That way, if something fishy happens at least one of us will know. So can I trust you to help me?"

"If Liz and Alex are playing unfair then I'll have no choice but to help you. Until then, I'll try my best to watch over Liz. If I don't see anything fishy then I won't be able to help you but if something does happen then I'll try my best to help out."

"I knew I could count on you. Although things are looking bad for me if I don't win this race. After this event there's only two more events but they don't know that. Technically if Alex wins here then he wins the whole thing as it's a best of 5, but he and Liz doesn't know that. If you catch them cheating once then I can safely bring this back and potentially do something to not lose."

"All of this talk about cheating and bending the rules seems pretty dirty, but if they're really teaming up against you like that then it's not fair. I think I know what to do."

"What! Tracker is going to help Isaac?!" Shocked by the news Liz heard, Alex shouted in surprise.

Quickly, Liz pressed her hands onto Alex's lips in order to silence him in case Tracker and Isaac were close enough to hear them. "Shh! They might here you. When I was listening in on their conversation Isaac was telling him how he thinks we were cheating but he couldn't prove any of it. But Tracker did say he would help if he did see me doing something suspicious."

Removing her hands away from Alex's mouth, he started to speak. "So what do we do from here? Play fair? You think a two point lead is big enough for us to win?"

"I can't say for sure but at this point I doubt we can hide what we're doing anymore. If I gave three things you were good at and he named three things he was good at then winning by a 3 point lead would be huge. Not to mention you didn't even knit or sew anything meaning that's four points to Isaac's two points. And remember, he never said anything about me assisting you after all. As long as you compete against him then we're fine. If he's aware of us cheating then I might as give him something to remember it by. Here they come."

Isaac and Tracker came walking back from their private talk as the stallion headed back over to the bench he was sitting on. Tracker made sure to watch Liz carefully as he wanted to see for sure what was going on.

"Alright Alex, here are the racing lines. From right here to the vending machine over at the snack bar. That's a good enough running distance." 

"Sure thing Isaac. The length of the track doesn't matter to me. The shorter the race is the faster I'll beat you. The longer it is the more embarrassing it'll be for you." Once the finish line was agreed upon and both foxes lined up next to each other and waited for Liz to do the countdown. She walked her way over to Isaac and Alex and stuck her hands up into the air.

"Alright boys, I don't want any of you cheating, shoving, name calling or any of those horrible things. A fair race is what you two want and hopefully the two of you can abide to the rules. Now get ready cause here we go!" After she finished talking, she walked behind both of the boys and made sure she was withing an arms reach for Isaac. "3...2...1...GO!" As soon as go was heard both boys launched off, or at least Alex did. Isaac ended up being launched straight to the ground as his gym shorts were pulled down to his ankles. His butt stuck up into the air as Liz had a nice sight of his brief covered ass. "Well you two agreed to playing clean but I never did."

Tracker watched the sight and noticed how Liz was totally being unfair. He quickly ran over to help the fallen fox. "Isaac! Are you alright?!" The pantsed fox stuck his thumb up signalling he was alright but he was still on the ground as if he wasn't. Lowering himself down, he helped Isaac up and knocked the dirty from off his shirt and fur. "Liz, what was that for?!"

"Technically Isaac never said anything like this was against the rules. Alex is still competing for himself and not once have I competed for him yet. So if I'm right all of Alex's wins are still legit. And besides, you're just gonna help Isaac now anyway. If Isaac is as good as he thinks he is then he should have no trouble catching up and winning this whole competition."

Tracker sighed as he looked at Isaac. "Well she does have a point. I guess that means we'll have to work together to help you win. Alex is only walking right now as he knows you're not able to run. But if you run full speed you might be able to catch him by surprise and win."

"Yeah, you're right! We can do this!" Before Isaac could run, Tracker stopped him.

"Wait! You'll trip again! Pull your shorts up. And while you run I'll talk to Liz."

Isaac blushed a little as he couldn't believe he almost made the same mistake again. Although, he couldn't really call the first time a mistake. For some reason, Liz still had a smile on her face as if she was waiting for something. Not even Tracker understood why she was still smiling. The answer to that didn't take long as Isaac bent over to pull his gym shorts back up, but that was when Liz struck. Before Tracker could even react, Liz planted her hands onto the fox's waistband and launched his briefs up and into the air. The sudden yank surprised the fox and made him jump into the air. The fox placed his hands on his ass but that didn't stop the Arctic wolf from yanking the briefs up his butt.

"Come on Liz, don't you think he had enough? Just let him and Alex finish the rest of the competition alone."

Seeing as her job was done, Liz sighed and nodded her head. "Fine, I'll give him a break. But first..." With one last pull she yanked the briefs as high as they could go before snapping them onto his head. "I think my job here is done." Liz walked off as she went to go sit on a bench.

"Are you alright Isaac?" Tracker asked as he removed the briefs from Isaac's head.

"Y-yeah. Except my ass felt like it was just flossed." Picking the wedgie out his ass, he fixed his briefs and then picked his gym shorts back up. He looked over to Liz and noticed she was smiling and waving at him. She then grabbed the air and yanked it up signalling she was proud of what she did. Turning his head, he looked over to where the vending machine was and noticed Alex was already there. "Damn it! Not he's up three to my zero."

"Are you sure the plan is going to work Isaac? If it doesn't then you lose." When the competition first started Tracker was on Alex's side and wanted him to win, but now, all he wanted to do was help Isaac win or at least make it close enough to where they could of won.

"If everything can go according to Liz's plan then why not mine? We got this."

After another short wait of Alex walking back to where everyone else was, the start of round four was finally here. This time it was a staring competition and both Tracker and Liz agreed to stay where they were so neither Alex or Isaac could that someone was being unfair. Once again, Liz was going to countdown as the two foxes were face to face with their eyes closed. "Alright boys, here comes the count down! 5...4...3...2...1...OPEN!"

Both boys shot their eyes open as they concentrated only onto the other fox's blue eyes. The first couple of seconds were filled with complete silence as neither fox uttered a word or made any movement. Alex was focused on winning this event as he and Liz believed that winning this would win them the whole thing. Isaac on the other hand knew that technically it was actually over but what they didn't know didn't hurt him. All he wanted to happen was for his plan to succeed.

The silence was broken as Alex started to taunt the fellow fox. "You know, you should just give up now and save both of us the time. Do you really wanna waste like another minute or two of your life knowing it's all for nothing? Even if you win here it'll be for nothing. I doubt you can beat me three straight events in a row."

Isaac chuckled as he knew as long as everything went according to plan then he would be fine. "Alex, without Liz you can't beat me. I got this in the bag. I just can't wait to see your defeated face as I destroy you over tho course of these next few minutes. The feeling of seeing you defeated and asking what happened will be amazing."

"You wanna know what other feeling is familiar to you? How's that wedgie Liz gave you earlier? Shorts hanging from your ankles and your briefs wedged up your ass. Classic high school comedy right there. Not only can we see that live on T.V. but we have you here to provide us with the example. All you're missing is a backpack and some glasses and then you would fit that nerdy look."

"I'm surprised you can talk like this without Liz backing you up. It's really impressive. But the fun ends here. Tracker! Hand me a water bottle would you!"

Getting up from his seat, Tracker grabbed onto a water bottle and started his walk over to the two foxes; however, he quickly tripped and fell onto the ground. "Ahhh!" A loud thud was heard as he hit the ground.

"Tracker!" Alex shouted as he was about to turn his head.

"Alex Don't! He's working with Isaac and this is probably one of their tricks to make you lose!"

"But why would he just fall like that?! What if he sprained an ankle or something worse?!"

"Alex, calm down. I'll check him out for you." Liz got off her seat to go check on her stallion friend. She checked his leg to see if he was alright but upon touching his leg a loud groan came out.

"AHHH! That hurts!" Not able to stand still and listen to his friend cry out in agony, Alex ran over to his side to make sure everything was still alright.

"Tracker, everything alright buddy?! You're aren't hurt to badly are you?!" Alex said concerned.

"It hurts, but nothing a little rest won't fix. I should of known better than to try and work with Isaac. This is karma coming back to spite me for betraying my friends. Liz can you carry me to the car? I need to lay down and relax."

"Sure thing Tracker. Alex, I'll look Tracker. You just win this for the three of us, alright?"

"You know I will Liz."

Crouching over, Liz got ready to carry Tracker to the car as Alex helped the stallion onto her back. He was a little heavy but she was use to carrying him from time to time. They walked off and left the two foxes to face off.

"Look at what you did, you injured my friend. And for what? A simple win? I hope you're happy with it."

"Very happy in fact. Cause you wanna know a secret? You're next." Isaac said nodding his head at the other fox.

"What are you trying to say? You're gonna fight me now? After what you did what I'm gonna kick your ass all the way back home!"

"Relax the hot head of yours and follow me. The score is 3-1 your favor but seeing as you never had a problem with me picking the events order every single time then it won't matter now. Come on, we don't have all day." Alex wasn't sure where they were going but he knew if he wanted to win that had to follow Isaac.

The two foxes walked a considerable distance as they were very far from where they were originally at. The lake view was able to be seen on side of them but Alex paid it no mind. He wasn't a fun swimming as he had a terrible swimming experience one day. A smirk appeared onto Isaac's face as he started to walk over to the lake. All of a sudden Alex felt his heart slowly speeding up as for a moment it looked like they were walking over to the lake. And they were! Alex's eyes started to get bigger as he was starting to get really concerned about what was happening. Things took a turn for the worst as Isaac turned around and announced the next event.

"The wheel of fate has stopped spinning and we landed on deep sea diving!"

Alex felt as if his heart had paused as he looked at Isaac as if he saw a ghost. His body slowly started to stutter and a chilly breeze could be felt going down his spine. "W-w-w-WHAT?!"

"Well not technically diving but we're going to be under the water so might as well be diving. We're just gonna hold or breath underneath the water. But to do so, we kinda need to go into the water first." Isaac was many things. He was grimy, clever, cunning, and a cheater. Doing evil things in real life was something he would never really do but abusing someone's fear as a little payback wasn't something he was afraid to do. If Alex was going to cheat and go low then Isaac would go even lower than he would. Around a few months ago he heard that Alex had a fear of swimming as he drowned as a kid and was terrified to pools ever since. Isaac couldn't swim himself but Alex didn't know that and even if he did, would he risk going into the water to prove it?

"Do we really have to do this? Can't we...I don't know, do something else?"

"Sorry, that's against the rules. Failure to accept an event after the competition has started results in a DQ, or disqualification, for the competitor."

"What?! When was that in the rules?!"

"Maybe it was already rule from the beginning, or maybe I'm just making rules as I go? You and Liz know a thing or two about making new rules don't y'all?"

"But nothing said we couldn't..."

"Nothing said I couldn't make new rules either. I never said you and Liz could work as a team and you two did that. I never said I could alter the rules or add any rule I wanted either. Who made the rules that we agreed upon? Me. And if we agreed to my rules then who's to say I can't do as I please with the rules? It's only fair."

Alex looked at the water and then back at Isaac. "Come on Isaac! That's totally unfair! Can't we work something out?!"

"I ate food that was spiced with who knows what type of peppers! I had to drink 6 bottles of water and then piss it all out! My shorts were pulled all the way down to my ankles, and then I had my briefs wedged up my ass and onto my head! Either we dive together to see who last the longest, you quit and lose, or we take everything back and start all over again! Just me vs you. And if Tracker and Liz wanna help occasionally then we can make rules about how they should be included. Sounds fair to you?"

Looking at his options, he realized they all sucked for him. He wasn't going to swim as that was suicidal and he didn't want to start all over either. Every situation was bad for him but starting over meant he wouldn't die or lose guaranteed. He sighed disappointingly as he looked at Isaac. "Fine, we can start over. But that doesn't mean you have any shot of winning at all! When me and Liz are combined you can't stop us, but even when I don't have her help I'll still prevail!"

"If you really believe that then prove it to me. Go tell Liz the news. Tracker already knows about this." Before turning around and walking off, Isaac gave Alex an evil grin.

"Wait, how would Tracker know about this unless..." Thinking about it now, it all made sense to Alex. Liz was only able to eavesdrop on so much on their conversation. Once she heard that Tracker was going to help Isaac she ran back to tell the news. Doing that meant she didn't hear everything after that and that was when Isaac's plan was told to the stallion. Things really took a turn for the worst and Alex wasn't exactly sure how he was gonna explain this to Liz.
