Chapter 10: Max vs. Kyoya

"Let it rip!" Kyoya, Max, and the entire stadium chanted.

"Attack, Leone!" Kyoya roared and his Bey charged Draciel.

"Stand your ground, Draciel!" The BeyBlade stopped in its tracks and the Beys bounced away from each other.

Kids are doin' it all across the nation

"Keep going, Leone!"

"Go, Draciel!" The BeyBlades continued hitting and bouncing away from the other - but..

"What in the world?" Madoka gasped.

"You see it too, sweetheart?" Dizzi asked.

"Huh?" Everyone asked.

"Every time their Beys clash, Draciel bounces away further than before." Madoka answers.

"Hey, Max!" Ray yelled. "Your BeyBlade is bouncing further away than Kyoya's!"

"I've noticed!" Max replied.

"You're weak!" Kyoya yelled.

"What was that!?" Max growled.

"You heard me!" Kyoya pointed at Max.

Let it rip now, Let it go now

"Rrg." Max growled. "Hit him hard, Draciel!" Then Draciel began to push Leone out of the arena, but Leone stopped before he could go out.

The battles on now it's time to take it

"I don't think so!" Leone began to push Draciel.

"Draciel!" Max ordered and Leone went into the air. "Oh, yeah!" Max smiled.

The number one position in the game

"Don't count me out! Rock Leone!" Kyoya yelled and Leone dove onto Draciel's attack ring, sending him back to Max's wall. Hmm. Kyoya thought. A tornado from above….

"Go, Draciel!" The Bey went for Leone.

Don't tell who's gonna be number one

"Gale Force Wall!" Kyoya commanded and a tornado surrounded Leone.

"Fortress Defense!" Draciel stopped and began to glow purple.

"Uh-Oh!" DJ started. "Looks like both of their Special Moves are defensive moves!"

Let it rip now, Let it go now

Both Bladers growled and their Specials stopped. "GOOO!" Their BeyBlades attacked meeting in the center. Their Beys bounced away from each other to the others respective wall and continued this….

BeyBlade watch out cause here we come

"RAAAHH!" Max and Kyoya yelled and their BeyBlades smashed into each other in the center and sparked wildly, but again bounced away from the other.

"Oh, no!" Madoka squealed.

"What now?" Ray asked.

"If their Beys keep this up", she paused, "Max's Draciel will be destroyed."

Tyson stood up: "Hey, Maxy!" He yelled. "If you keep it up, Draciel will be destroyed!"

"Then I'll have to beat him quickly!" Max yelled looking at Draciel.

"Max…" Ray said. "I don't understand. Why is his BeyBlade being destroyed?"

"How can you not understand?" Kai asked standing on the stairs next to everyone. "Our plastic Beys aren't used to battling their metal Beys; I mean - what did you expect from a battle like this?"

"If beating you means that I have to destroy your BeyBlade", Kyoya began, "then so be it!"

"Kyoya…." Gingka and Benkei both said.

Kids are doin' it all across the nation

Their Beys landed in front of them again. Draciel began to glow purple and Leone green. "Take him down!" The Bladers both yelled and their Beys clashed in the center of the stadium in a lightshow of green and purple.

Time to battle now for world domination

Then an explosion went off between the two BeyBlades and Draciel flew in front of Max. Its Attack Ring shattered, the Weight Disk broke in two, the Spin Gear and Blade Base separated into four, and all the pieces landed at Max's feet.

Max fell to his knees looking at his Bey, he picked up the broken pieces with his left hand, the Bit Chip in his right, and tears began to swell in his eyes. "I'm so sorry, Draciel." He sobbed.

"Hey." Max looked up to see Kyoya standing in front of him with his hand stretched out. "Let's get Draciel fixed." Kyoya then smiled widely.

"Heheh." Max smiled. "Yeah." And then took Kyoya's hand.

"What a beautiful moment between two great Bladers!" DJ cried into his arm.

"That's our Kyoya." Gingka smiled with Benkei crying next to him.

"And that's our Max." Tyson smiled.

But everything went sour when Ryuga blasted Hikaru and Storm Aquario through and out of the arena.
