I finally updated Chapter 10! Thanks a lot to Thunder Crush for helping me out with this chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own MFB.
Enzo left the candy store, disappointed. Thirty minutes ago, he and his siblings split up to search for Elyana. They know her enough that she would usually be where food, animals, or beys are. Enzo and Selen left to search in the different food stores and street vendors she goes to while Ian left to the zoo and Argo to the WBBA Park.
"That leaves one last place," Enzo said as he ran off. He ran all the way to a small cream and peach colored building with an aroma of different types of pastries and desserts.
Enzo smirked, immediately spotting a nine year old girl eating a doughnut. Then he sweat-dropped, seeing a mountain of plates on the table next to her that is half the size of him. The nine year old girl was stuffing down food faster than a vacuum sucking in dirt from a carpet.
"Her appetite is amazing, huh?" Enzo sighed before he walked up to her.
The girl had red eyes the color of flames and dark brown hair tied in a ponytail with two curls framing the side of her face. Her orange hoodie had a red stripe going down the middle and looked big enough to be a dress. It was unzipped, revealing a yellow blouse with puffed sleeves and matching shorts that were also slightly puffy. On her feet were dark grey boots with a fire-shaped buckle on each and around her neck was a gold chain necklace with a fire-shape charm.
"Hey, Elyana," Enzo said as he sneered.
The girl, Elyana Thorn, looked up at him and narrowed her eyes though she was shaking from all the sugar she had. "What do you need, Enzo?" Elyana asked warily. "Where are your crazy siblings?"
Enzo glared. "You have to come with me if you want to see them."
"Why would I want to do that?" Elyana asked, nearly shouting. She was trying her best to control her sugar high since she was cautious. "I don't exactly trust you! And I don't want to see your siblings!"
"Well, you're coming with me anyways!"
Elyana got up and ate the last piece of her chocolate doughnut. "Not happening, Garcia Runt!"
Enzo's eye twitched. He took out his bey and launcher and aimed it at her. "If you won't come with me willingly, then I'll have to force you!"
Elyana jumped back a few feet and aimed her bey at him as well. "You must be crazy if you think you can beat me, especially when I just ate!"
A smirk made an appearance on Enzo's lips. "Ember Ateles, huh? What they said is true."
"They?!" Elyana screamed. "How do you know I had a bey? This is the first time I showed it to anyone!"
Instead of answering her question, Enzo began to count down. "3…2…1…"
"Let it rip!" the two kids shouted as they pulled the string and their beys flew. Ray Gasher and Ember Ateles clashed head on.
Suddenly, Elyana began squealing excitedly and jumping up and down. Enzo looked at her in question. "This is so cool!" the nine year-old screamed. "This is the first time I actually battled someone and I am so psyched!"
"Then this should be easy!" Enzo said confidently.
"Don't be so sure~" Elyana sang as she started to shake and jump high in the air. "I can feel the sugar and adrenaline running in my veins!"
Gasher used its performance tip to jump and attack Ateles from above. Elyana squealed again and shouted, "This is so exciting!"
Enzo looked at her funny. "You're not taking this seriously!" he said, annoyed.
Elyana swayed her torso side to side. "Why? I know I'm going to win! That's why I'm not fighting back!"
"What?"
"But if you want me to fight, I'll fight! Ateles!"
Ateles flashed and dodged Gasher's next attack. Gasher crashed into the floor but continued spinning. Ateles began to bounce around rapidly and randomly crashing into Gasher. Elyana's bey was moving around so fast and at different directions, Enzo couldn't keep track. Her bey always came from one side but then the other the next second.
"How are you doing that?" Enzo asked at Elyana who was grinning.
"A monkey on a sugar high~" Elyana sang as she began to skip in a circle and singing that line repeatedly.
"Sugar high?" Enzo asked then he groaned and face-palmed. "This is so not amazing!"
He shook his head. "You can fight though. That's amazing! That means it won't be boring, huh?"
Elyana stopped skipping and singing. "What's up Enzo? No tricks or cheats?"
Enzo smirked darkly. Elyana didn't notice since she began to hum and focused her eyes at Gasher. Enzo studied Ateles and when he saw an opening, he shouted, "Gasher, right there!"
Elyana blinked as Gasher barely dodged Ateles' attack. Ateles crashed into the ground, causing some dust to fly. Elyana pouted. "Meanie!" she muttered but grinned again when Ateles spun back closer to her. Then she frowned. "This is getting boring!" she whined.
"Boring huh?" Enzo asked. He did a cartwheel to the side. "Then I'll end it! Special move, Slumdog Driver!"
Gasher used a nearby ledge to leap into the air and formed itself in a drill-like tornado aimed at Ateles.
To his confusion, Elyana went even more hyper than what is normal…for her. "I know how that special move works, Garcia Runt! Ember Ateles! Let's go! HYPER FLAME CRAZE!"
Just when Gasher was about to hit Ateles, the fire-colored bey started jumping and running wildly like it was on a rampage, leaving a trail of fire behind it. Enzo gasped and stepped back. "This is amazing!" he gasped. "How are you doing this?"
"My little secret~" Elyana started spinning. "I'm still on a sugar high~"
Then, when Gasher landed, missing Ateles, the flames started to grow and engulfed Gasher in a bed of flames. Enzo screamed. Elyana giggled. "Ateles, finish Gasher off!"
Ember Ateles spun towards Gasher, the flames not affecting it in anyway, and crashed into it, causing an explosion. The two blocked their faces with their hands as a strong wind from the explosion blew. When they turned back, the fire was gone and the only trace was minor ashes in the floor. A cloud of dust still shielded the beys from their views.
Finally, the dust faded away and the result was seen. Enzo fell to the ground and Elyana cheered. "Boom baby!" she cried out.
Ray Gasher was half buried in the ground with Ember Ateles still spinning next to it. "This is not amazing," Enzo sighed.
Elyana caught her bey. "That was so fun!" she screamed. Then she sighed. "I'm hungry though."
When she said that, Enzo face-palmed. "Of course," he groaned. Then he looked up at Elyana who was about to leave. "Hey, brat," he said and Elyana turned to him.
"What is it this time, Garcia Runt?" she asked in annoyance. "I'm not going to go with you and I'm hungry!"
Enzo rummaged through his jacket and took out a packet of candy corn and a three foot long chocolate bar. Elyana's eyes twinkled at the sight. Enzo sighed, feeling upset that he has to part with his candy but if he doesn't bring her, he'll be in trouble with Argo.
"If you come with me, I'll give you these," Enzo said albeit reluctantly.
Suddenly, he felt a wind and his candy were snatched out of his hand. Elyana immediately started devouring the candy corn. "You can't find candy corn here!" Elyana squealed. "Take me there!"
Enzo sweat-dropped but began to lead her to the Plaza.
In the Plaza, Argo, Ian, and Selen were waiting for Enzo and wondering if he had better luck than they did. They turned around when they heard their little brother shouted, "Big brothers, Selen, here she is!"
Enzo jogged up to them after telling Elyana to wait next to the statue. She sat at the edge and slowly ate the candy corn, savoring its taste. The Garcia siblings smirked.
"Took us nearly an hour and a half but we found her," Selen sneered.
Argo turned to the cowering kids that were huddled in the corner. "You brats, you know what to do," he barked at them. "Go!"
They hurriedly scurried off and the siblings waited on roof of one of the houses. Elyana didn't notice any of this as she was too wrapped up in her candy. She had a feeling something was going to happen but she was more absorbed in her hunger that she ignored it. "It's probably nothing," Elyana said as she kicked her legs and tossed a candy corn in her mouth.
A little while later, in another area of the city, Yu was coming out of another candy store alone. Benkei, Kenta, and Yu split up a little earlier, thinking they'll cover more ground this way. He was about to leave when a group of kid bladers walked by. He heard one say:
"That girl was strong!"
One of his friends nodded. "That Ateles bey was difficult! I'm not surprised she beat us."
Yu blinked. "Ateles bey?" He called after them, "Hey!"
They turned to him and Yu said, "Where is this girl with the Ateles bey?"
The group became nervous but Yu ignored it. "She's…at the Plaza," one of them told Yu. "Dark brown hair, red eyes…you can't miss her!"
Then they ran off, leaving Yu confused at their reactions. He shook it off and went to the Plaza, the same Plaza where he battled the Garcia siblings in the Brazilian Street Battle. He thought about finding the others but decided against it since she might leave by the time they all get there.
Yu made it to the Plaza in ten minutes and saw a girl with dark brown hair and fiery red eyes eating the last of her candy corn. "That must be her," Yu said as he began to run to her, thinking that this was easy. Then he stopped.
"Maybe a bit too easy," he said as he stared at the girl who has yet to notice him. "I just arrived here not too long ago," he thought. "How convenient is it that a group of bladers just walked by me, talking about the girl we are searching for on the same day we arrived? Then they looked scared all of a sudden…"
Yu gasped in realization but it was too late as four beys spiraled towards him. He luckily moved out of the way in time as he looked at the four familiar beys.
"The Garcias!" Yu shouted as he looked where they came from. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the girl get up with anger and shock in her eyes.
"Look it here. We only managed to get Yu," Ian said in disappointment.
"It doesn't matter," Argo said. He clenched a fist. "We'll take them out one by one!"
"Argo is right," Selen agreed. "They'll all be looking for that little brat here anyways."
She nodded at Elyana. Yu turned to the girl with wide eyes. "You're working with them?"
Elyana gapped at him. "Of course not! They just told me to wait here! They bribed me with candy! I'm not going to decline an offer of candy corn! You can't buy that here you know!"
They turned to the Garcia siblings again. "Even after these years, none of you have changed your ways!" Yu shouted. He took his bey. "If it's a fight you want, then it's a fight you'll get! Go Libra!"
Libra entered the battle and attacked the closest bey, Ray Gasher. Enzo growled and the two beys pushed each other with equal power. Just when Yu was about to get the upper hand, the three other beys clashed into his and trapped him.
"Libra!"
"Don't forget about us, little dude," Ian smirked. "We'll finish you off real soon!"
"Not if I have anything to do about it!" Elyana shouted as she quickly launched her bey. Ateles spiraled towards Gasher, knocking it out of balance. It crashed into Ray Cancer and Libra used this opportunity to run away.
"Thanks," Yu said, smiling at Elyana.
"No problem," Elyana winked. Then she turned back to their opponents' beys. "It's still two against four though…this will be difficult."
"A family of cheaters," Yu growled. "How did you know we were searching for Elyana anyways!" he asked them.
Elyana blinked and the Garcia siblings smirked. "We overheard you," Enzo said as he did a handstand. "It sounded like an amazing opportunity to get revenge on all of you!"
"Why are you searching for me?" Elyana asked.
"Long story and my friends will tell you once we finish them off," Yu told her and Elyana pouted.
"Finish us off, you say?" Argo laughed. "You are outnumbered. We are stronger than the last time we battled! You won't defeat us!"
"News flash! I got stronger as well!" Yu said back. "Libra, let's show them. Sonic Wave!"
Libra spun around the area, sending green vibrations at the enemy beys. The four beys dodged them all, making Yu annoyed. "Stay still, will ya!" Yu said impatiently.
"That line is so old," Elyana muttered before singing, "Ateles, time for a rampage!"
Ateles flashed and spun wildly at random directions. Most of the time, it would aim at the enemy beys and successfully sending them back.
"What are you planning, brat?" Selen asked Elyana.
Elyana winked and stuck out her tongue out. "You know 'Brat' stands for 'Beautiful, Rich, and Talented' along with 'Born, Raised, and Trained' and 'Banana, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast'?" They all stared at her with funny faces, wondering why she would mention that at a time like this "That reminds me, I'm still hungry! And you Garcia bullies are taking away my second to the last meal before lunch time!"
"You want to eat?" Enzo asked. "Then eat this!"
Ray Gasher attacked Ateles while Cancer slammed into Libra. The four beys pushed against each other. Then, Ray Gil and Cyclone Herculeo attacked from behind, sending the two beys flying.
Yu and Elyana gasped. "Don't forget about us," Ian smirked. "Herculeo!"
This time, Herculeo attacked Libra while Gil attacked Ateles. The impacts caused sparks to fly and Ateles and Libra were sent back. Elyana and Yu were so focused on battling the two beys; they didn't notice the last two Ray beys flying towards them from above until it was too late.
Gasher and Cancer slammed into Ateles and Libra with full force, causing them to be knocked off balance and fly towards their owners. Luckily, they managed to land and continue spinning, albeit a bit wobbly and slowly.
"This is not good," Yu growled as he clenched his teeth.
"What do we do…?" Elyana whispered in concentration.
The Garcia siblings started to laugh. "We're impressed you are able to stand up to us this long but this battle is going to end!" Ian smirked.
Enzo did some gymnastic routines. "It's amazing, huh? Amazing! We'll defeat you for sure!"
"People who say that before the battle ends usually lose!" Elyana shouted at them, wildly waving her arms. "It's called jinx!"
"We'll prove it too you then," Argo sneered. "Ray Gil: Keel Strangler!"
"Blazer Slash!"
"Double Slumdog Driver!"
Before Elyana or Yu can do anything, two beys, one green and the other purple, entered the battle and pushed the two beys out of harm's way at last second. The four enemy beys slammed into the dirt ground, causing a huge explosion that surrounded the whole Plaza in smoke.
When the smoke disappeared, they all turned to the two new beys. The Garcias growled. Elyana blinked. Yu grinned.
"Its…"
Finished! I hope you liked this chapter. This is the first chapter that I had a real battle in so I hope it wasn't bad. Until next time!
