Bitter Curve Balls! Gutsy Fast Balls! (2x16)

Air date: Jul 19, 1996

Lina manages to get herself stuck in a situation she cannot refuse. When thinking that if you enter Brass Rackets (like Tennis but with special rackets, and you control the ball) competion, you could win a clue to the Claire Bible. A man, Rudo, approaches Lina after seeing her fight the last meat ball. She doesn't aceept it at first, but does when Martina and Keith, Rudo's rival challenges them. As the match goes on, Xellos and Amelia manages to sneak into the competition, only to be beaten by Lina and Rudo. In the final, Lina/Rudo, and Martina/Keith scares the rest of the opponents, and get disqualified-- leaving Xellos and Amelia the winners. They then find out that the clue wasn't actually for a Claire Bible, but a Claire GABLE-- the guy who invented it. Zelgadis is pissed, and manages to hit Xellos with a spell. As this episode end, we find out that Keith is actually Rudo's son, and Lina and Martina goes berzerk. They chase them with the balls, and the rackets.
