blackamber- yay another chapter!
Amy- yippee
blackamber- you should be happy! You get to fight in this one!
Kaylie- (fixes glasses) and you get a sweet new blade
Amy- (raises eyebrow) really?
Kaylie-(nods) yup, I stayed up the past two nights making it.
Amy- sweet!
blackamber- now then... do I have any announcements for today (flips through a file folder labeled Move Along announcements) hmmm... (finds one) ah! Here we are... (hands it to Bryan)
Bryan- (reads over announcement) this is all? It's not really that important
blackamber- I don't think you realize how replaceable you are (fixes Bryan with a dark glare)
Bryan- blackamber would just like to let you know that Spencer and Ian make an appearance in this chapter because she felt that they haven't made an appearance in a long time...
Amy- (in response to what Bryan said) what a waste of space... that was totally not needed
blackamber- will someone please do the disclaimer... Kai's coming and I don't really want to hear what he'll say to me in regards to my announcement.
Courtney- it wasn't even an announcement!
Amy- same disclaimer as always
"Are you sure you should be moving about, Aim? I mean, you're still in pretty bad shape," Melissa asked, following Amy outside.
"I'm fine, stop your nagging," Amy growled grumpily, "I need some fresh air anyways."
"Certainly sounds like she's back to her old self," Courtney grinned, walking alongside Melissa, "are you going to be up to the match tomorrow?"
Amy smiled back at the two, "Of course! Hien and I are ready, Kaylie developed a new blade for us, and I'm dying to test it out."
"Ah, so that's the real reason why you wanted to come outside," pressed Melissa.
"Maybe," Amy shrugged, then winced from her injured shoulder's complaint.
The blonde and the younger girl shook their heads. "Is that also why you invited us along with you?" Courtney ventured to ask.
Amy nodded, grinning at the two, "That, and its boring training on your own." Amy stopped, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a black blade with red flames across the attack ring. "Feast your eyes on this."
"Sweet!" Melissa cheered, "I should bug Kaylie into making me one!"
"Oh she is, she just wanted to test the balance of Hien's first since he's the hardest to stabilize," Amy stared fondly down at the new bey blade. "She thinks we should be uniform… so they're all going to be black with some crazy designs on the attack ring in whatever color best suits our bit-beasts elements."
"So, most likely, blue waves for me, yellow lightning bolts for Mel… what about Brook?" Courtney asked.
"Green leaves?" Mel suggested.
Amy shrugged again, fitting Hien's new blade into her shooter. "If what happened recently doesn't affect my blading, I should be able to, at least, hold both of you off for at least ten minutes."
"You're lucky we have ten minutes, we have another match today. Are you going to watch?" Courtney asked, setting Sohi into her shooter.
Amy shook her head, "Norah said that if I'm going to fight tomorrow, I need to rest as much as I can with the 'current state that I am in,' any watching of the match I'll be doing is from the TV." Amy fed her ripcord through the shooter, taking her stance.
"Should we go easy on her?" Mel asked Courtney, setting her shooter up as well.
"I heard that," Amy growled, "and if you go easy on me I swear to God-
"Don't worry Aim, would never even dream of it." Courtney took her stance, gripping her shooter tightly. A small nod passed between the two. "Ready when you are."
"Then let's do this!" Amy pulled her ripcord harshly through the gears, causing the rotation of the blade.
Courtney and Mel followed in suit, launching their blades onto the still frozen ground. The blue and yellow blades circled the black one cautiously, trying to decide the best course to take in fighting the wolf's blade.
"Alright Hien, crash course it!" Amy ordered. The blade spun, charging towards the other two. The blades locked pushing back and forth.
"C'mon Voltier! Take 'em down!" Melissa yelled.
"Use the snow to your advantage Sohi!" Courtney bellowed.
The blue blade and the yellow blade slowly began to push the red and black one back. Courtney and Mel expected Amy to say something, but when they looked up at their friend, they found her laughing. The two girls blinked at her, waiting for the reason behind the laughter.
Amy smiled fiercely, then threw her head back and howled loudly.
"Oh dear," Courtney and Mel muttered as the answering call of the bit-beast came.
In a blast of fire, the glowing wolf hovered over his blade. His golden claws and golden horn gleaming in the sun's light. The wolf growled deeply, looking back at his shooter and waiting for his order.
"Go get 'em, Hien!"
With a low howl, the wolf shot forward, his blade tearing up the frozen ground, sending ice and snow flying in his wake.
"Oh," Courtney mused, "so that's how we're playing. Come on out, Sohi!"
The giant sting-ray appeared in a splash of water, and immediately locked in a one on one wrestling match with the wolf of fire.
"Hey! Don't forget about us!" Mel called, "go Voltier." The lightning stag readily leapt into the fray, briefly separating the two bit-beasts before teaming up with Sohi and taking on Hien.
The three shooters were oblivious to the audience who had gathered around them to see what was keeping Melissa and Courtney from jumping into the van and heading to the tournament.
"Hien, finish it!" Amy howled, "Volcanic Rage!"
A loud snarl answered her call, as the wolf's fur blazed brightly and then burst into a river of liquid lava.
"Sohi, counter it with Tsunami Strike!" Courtney grinned.
"Voltier, Thor's Hammer!"
Too late, Amy thought as the two blades were sent flying. She opened her fist, summoning Hien back.
Courtney sighed, chuckling lightly. "As good as ever, Cole's not going to know what hit him tomorrow."
Good, Amy thought darkly.
"Well, I'm glad you guys were having fun… now can we please get going before we're late!" Kaylie exasperatedly exclaimed.
"Right, sorry about that Kay," Melissa apologized, scratching the back of her head.
"We'll see you later Aim," Courtney said, clapping Amy on her good shoulder.
"Take it easy guys," Amy smiled at her team-mates, "and trounce 'em."
"Oh don't worry, we will," Brook smiled at her friend.
"For someone who should be recovering, you're a pretty good shooter," Tala commented, smiling at her with his arms crossed across his chest.
"It was for research purposes only," Amy retorted, "I need to know that I can still fight as well as I could before if I'm going to take Cole on tomorrow."
"How do you know you're going to fight him? Maybe you'll fight one of his team-mates?" asked Ian, standing beside the ever towering Spencer.
"I know Cole," growled Amy, "he won't let anyone else fight me." She balled her fist at the thought of the dark-haired boy, how good it would feel just to crush him in the finals.
"Tala, come on, we've matches to win," Bryan called over to his red-haired friend. With a sly smile, he added, "say goodbye to your girlfriend and let's go!"
Said teenager gave an exasperated sigh, "I'll see you later Aim."
Amy nodded, "of course. Maybe if Norah let's me… I can trash your blade."
Tala grinned at her, "I don't think so."
"You don't think she will?" asked Amy.
"No, I don't think you can trash my blade," Tala affirmed.
"Oh really? Were you, by any chance, half asleep during the little show Courtney, Mel and I put on moments ago?" Amy mocked.
"It was child's play," sneered Tala.
"We'll see about that. Be prepare when you get back Tala, I'm not going to go easy on you," smirked Amy.
"You never do," Tala waved, walking away with the rest of the Demolition Boys.
Good luck, Tala. I know your team is fighting Cole's today… be careful…
blackamber- this was an okay chapter... I've written better... but I really like the new design for the Silver Fangs blades... definitely remembering that... oh! and I was re-watching some episodes lately and I realized that they call bladers 'shooters' so I changed it in this chapter
Bryan- I think that was a better announcement than the one you had me announce
blackamber- (final straw) YOUR FACE IS A BETTER ANNOUNCEMENT!
Bryan- (what the hell expression) O.O
Ian- ummmmm...
blackamber- what are you doing here Ian?
Ian- Tala sent me. He said you were probably going crazy right about now...
blackamber- so... why did he send you?
Ian- I don't know...
blackamber- I see... Kai say what Tala usually says!
Kai- get a life
blackamber- - -' not exactly... Bryan, I have a new announcement for you. (writes one down on a random note pad and hands it to him)
Bryan- (to self) this had better be better than the one you had me read earlier... (reads note) Oh come on!
blackamber- (shakes fist) read it!
Bryan- R&R
