The first round of the Nitro Battle Battler tournament has come to an end. The four finalist are Davis, Malina, Ross, and Fenir. All four of them stared at each other as everyone waited for the next match ups.
"As exciting as round one was, we've got to move on into round two." D.J. announced. They all looked up at the screen and saw them. Davis was against Fenir and Ross was going against Malina. "Looks like we've got some epic battles to come. So come back tomorrow to watch them." Davis and Ross were walking down the halls and were getting anxious for their battles.
"I'm glad it's Malina. I'm going to bring her down." Ross said, but saw that Davis remained quiet. He kept thinking about Cody.
"It's my fault. It's all my fault to what happened to Cody. I was the one who gave him the invitation." Davis said.
"Stop blaming yourself. We had no idea what the pairings would be like." Ross said. "That really could have been any of us. All we can do now is try even harder from here on out."
"You're right. It's up to you and me now." Davis agreed.
…
Fenir
Fenir was in their headquarters. He was actually excited that he was going to battle Davis tomorrow.
"The time has finally come. I cannot wait." Fenir said, but then he saw the training room was opened and heard some sort of commotion going on. He looked inside and saw Dreay and Francis were battling Malina. It also looked like both of them were in a panic.
"Please stop." Francis said.
"No more. I can't take it." Dreyar begged.
"Sorry, can't do that." Malina said. Reapix charged in and attacked the both Fransco and Werevler.
"What's going on?" Fenir asked.
"How nice of you to join us." Fenir looked up to see Yu watching.
"Why are all of them battling?" Fenir said.
"This is the least these two can do after they were defeated." Yu said.
"Reapix!" Malina shouted. Reapix unleashed its dark power and knocked the two beys down and stopped spinning. Then, two skeleton like energy hands came out.
"You can't do this to us!" Dreyar said.
"Spare us. We won't fail again." Francis said, but the two hands reached out and grabbed the both of them head to toe. Both of them were pulled in and lost inside the bey. Fenir could not believe what he just saw.
"I don't understand. You said that you knew Francis would lose." Fenir said, but he found his answer in the grin Yu was giving. "You mad man! You were planning on feeding us to Malina all along. We're not your pawns."
"You should consider yourself lucky, Fenir." Yu said. "You were able to beat Ken and move on to the next round. If you lose to Davis, that's it for you." Fenir knew he was in a critical situation now.
….
The Next Day
The second round of the tournament was about to be underway.
"Welcome back everyone." D.J. announced. "We're about to start the second round. Please join me in welcoming our two bladers, Davis and Fenir." Both of them stepped up and you could actually feel the flames of conflict that burned from them.
"Wow. You can actually feel the tension between those two." Yolei said.
"I can see that these two have been waiting for this." Gatomon said.
"You've got that right. He and Davis had a talk a few nights ago and this is where they were going to settle things." Veemon said.
'I'm not losing to him. He does seem to have the heart of a blader, I can tell, but he still has to be stopped.' Davis thought.
'I can't lose. If I do, I'm through and be Malina's next meal. I'm not going to lose to him either way.' Fenir thought.
"It looks like words don't need to be said. These two are all set to go." D.J. said.
"3…2…1! Let it rip!" Dragix and Dracrule have been launched and the battle has started.
"Take him down, Dragix!" Davis shouted.
"Give it all you have, Dracrule!" Fenir shouted as the two beys clashed together in great impact.
'I've got to be careful. I don't know anything about Dracrule and he took me down easily the last time we fought.' Davis thought as he thought back to that time. 'He took my special move and didn't even bother to avoid it. However, I have gotten stronger.'
"You better not take your mind off the game." Fenir warned him as Dracule was able to push Dragix away.
"I'm not done yet!" Davis said. Dragix tackled Dracrule. "Now spin hard, Dragix!" Dragix was going as fast as it could and the friction in the performance tip allowed it to jump and sent Dracrule in the air with it. Both of them bounced off the edge of the stadium and kept going.
"Look at that! Both beys have been sent flying and avoided a stadium out." D.J. announced.
"You won't win this with a stadium out." Fenir said.
"I wasn't hoping to win that way." Davis said as he was grinning away. This was one of those battles Davis got real excited about. "Come at me with all you've got. I dare you."
"We'll soon see about that. It's too early for that now." Fenir said. "Now Dracrule!" Dracrule charged right in and was launching a barrage of attacks on Dragix. "There is no escape from the vampire. Once its fangs have bitten its victim, you are doomed."
"We'll see about that. Dragix!" Davis commanded and Dragix was able to escape from Dracrule's grasp. "Now give it all you've got. Race hard and take him down." Dragix raced around and did laps around the stadium, gaining speed, and finally smashing right into Dracrule.
"Boom! Dragix hit Dracrule hard, but Dracrule is not going down so easily." D.J. announced.
"Keep it up Davis!" Ken cheered.
"You can beat this guy." Yolei said.
"I must say I'm impressed. You have gained much strength since the last time I battled you." Fenir said. "You really are worthy of your title, I see it now."
"Thanks for the compliments. Does that mean you're willing to submit?" Davis said.
"In your dreams!" Fenir shouted. "I think the time has come now. Reveal your fangs, Dracrule!"
"Reveal your fangs? What does that mean?" Davis said and saw Dracrule made some sort of adjustment. Dracrule charged forward and had more power in its attack as it smashed right into. "What?!" Then Dracrule started to do circles around Dragix as it attacked. "What's going on? Where is this power coming from?"
"Vampires hold the ability to conceal their fangs." Fenir said. "To put in a way you'll understand, the spin track and the fusion wheel are able to split about a half a centimeter apart. When that is happened, a set of fangs come out, meaning an extra set of blades. This is Dracrule's true power.
"That means, up until now, you haven't been using your full strength!" Davis said.
"You haven't seen the beginning of what I can do." Fenir said. "Now there is no hope. You're bey shall be drained of all of its life."
"This is bad. Dragix is caught in the grasp of Dracrule. If he doesn't do something soon, he's going to lose it." D.J. said.
"That's not going to happen!" Davis shouted and Dragix was able to break free from Dracrule.
"How?! It's impossible!" Fenir said.
"Fenir, the real battle starts right now!" Davis said.
"That's good. I can't wait to crush you." Fenir said and both the dragon and the vampire rose beside them. Both beys charged in and crashed right into each other, as an exciting battle is just getting started.
