Song Of Hope: I sure hope I'm updating fast enough for you. I've decided to make up for my lack of Sora by adding him into Battle Bladers. R&R
All the lights, short of several spotlights, went out in the stadium. The spotlights started moving around randomly as the Blader DJ started speaking.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the WBBA tournament! Let the Battle Bladers begin!" The whole crowd started cheering. "And now we present the opening ceremony. For the spectators in the stand and all the millions of you watching at home, your attention please! May we introduce the 32 Bladers who have battled their way through the Challenge matches and have fought for the right to claim victory in the biggest competition in the country?" All of the Bladers rose up on a platform, including myself. There was Tetsuya (I'm positive he cheated his way here), Kumasukei, Reiki, Tobio, Ruutaro, Yuu, Teru, Hikaru, Tsubasa, Hyoma, Benkei, Kyoya, me, Kenta, Ginga, Koi, Kasai, some strange girl I didn't know with dark violet eyes and black hair, Chikyuu, Raimei, Mizo, Taiyoo, Umi, Sukai, Chika, Shashu, Sora, Hakuchoo, Surprisingly Rei, and Hiromasa. Ginga smiled to himself.
"I finally made it here! I hope I can make you proud Dad."
"Mom, I hope I can make you more proud of me than you've ever been!" Madoka smiled from the stands and called out.
"Come on guys! You can do it!"
"Now, time to hear who will be battling who in the first round. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for our Master of Ceremonies!" A bunch of spotlights focused on Doji, who was on his own private balcony. Ginga was surprised.
"Doji's here?" I was mad.
"I'm gonna kill that guy!" Kyoya put his hand on my shoulder.
"Calm down, stay focused. It's not like you to get so riled up over one person."
"With this guy, I'll make an exception." He smiled out at us.
"Welcome everyone! I offer my sincerest appreciation for gathering here on this most historic day. I congratulate these Bladers for earning 50,000 or more Bey Points to make it here. Very impressive. No matter who battles who, one thing's for sure. It'll be an exciting competition!" Kyoya looked madder than usual.
"The guy is unbelievable!" I smiled.
"Now who's getting riled up?"
"Shut up Ai."
"Now, without further adieu, let us look at the pairings that, of course, have been randomly selected for the A Block, and then the B Block, each of which contain 16 Bladers. Here they are." It was Ginga vs. Yuu, Hyoma vs. some guy I didn't know, Benkei vs. Tobio, Kenta vs. Tetsuya (are they trying insult Kenta's skills as a Blader? I'm so gonna kill Doji), Tsubasa vs. Reiki, Teru vs. Ruutaro, Kyoya vs. Kumasukei, and Hikaru vs. Ryuuga for the A Block. For the B Block, it was me vs. Koi, Taiyoo vs. Kasai, Rei vs. Hiromasa, Shashu vs. Raimei, Sora vs. Mizo, Chikyuu vs. Hakuchoo, that strange girl vs. Umi, and Sukai vs. Chika. The crowd cheered. Ginga was pretty happy with his first opponent.
"Looks like my opponent in the first round is Yuu." Yuu smiled.
"Goodie, battling Ginga first thing is gonna be fun!" Benkei looked a bit worried.
"I'm with Captain Capri?" Kenta sighed.
"Don't tell me I've got the crabby guy!" Hikaru was a bit worried.
"I'm facing Ryuuga right away?" Kyoya figured it out.
"You've got to be kidding me. These opponents for the A Block aren't random. Almost all our opponents are with the Dark Nebula!" Hyoma nodded.
"This whole thing has got to be fixed somehow. Is there a plan to try and get rid of us all at once? It doesn't seem fair." Tsubasa nodded.
"This tournament is obviously being controlled by Doji, which is what I wanted."
"You're right, this is a chance to take down the Dark Nebula members all at once! In the end, we will defeat Ryuuga!" I looked down by my sister.
"I have to battle Nee-chan first off?" She looked down at me and nodded.
"I'm so gonna kick your butt!" Kasai looked down at Taiyoo.
"Great, I'm battling the mini swan."
"I AM NOT A MINI HAKUCHOO! SWANS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SUN!"
"Nee-sama, do we really have to battle each other first?" Hiro-kun picked up Rei.
"It'll be alright Rei. Just try your hardest, and battle your best." Shashu looked scared.
"I don't wanna battle someone like that first thing!" Raimei sighed.
"Great, I get a baby for my first opponent. How did she even get in?" Mizo looked down at Sora.
"I've heard about you. I hope that this will be a 'fun' battle." Sora nodded.
"I'm gonna give it my all!"
"Ready to do this Hakuchoo?" She nodded.
"I'm so gonna win this." Umi looked a bit worried.
"She couldn't be, could she?" Sukai looked at Chika.
"I'm gonna win this, and be the one to give Ai my strength through battle."
"No, it'll be me for sure."
"Now we'll move on to the order of battle. As it has been said before, there are two blocks in this tournament, so we will show the first block, the A Block, and then show the order of the B Block after the first round of the A Block is complete." The screen dimmed, and each pairing lit up randomly, until it stopped on Benkei vs. Tobio.
"And the first battle will be B-B-B-B-Benkei vs. Captain Capri!" Benkei quietly screamed (if that's possible). Kenta smiled at him.
"Kick some Bey Benkei!" Ginga nodded.
"Come on Benkei, get the first battle out of the way!" I nodded.
"Give it all you got. I'm sure it'll be enough!"
"You ba-ba-bet!" Doji threw his hands out in a wide gesture.
"And now, let Battle Bladers BEGIN!" The crowd started cheering. All those not battling left the stadium. Hakuchoo ran towards Yuu.
"YUU!" He looked at her.
"Chocho?"
"Yuu, have you been brushing your teeth? Are you getting plenty of sleep? You're not having too many sweets and too much junk food, are you? Have you been bathing regularly? Are you wearing clean underwear?"
"Yes, yes, no, yes, and yes! Quit bugging me about it Chocho!"
"Yuu, I've been worried sick about you! I have a right to be," she made air quotes with her fingers, ""bugging" you."
"You're not Dark Nebula anymore! You betrayed us!"
"I didn't betray the Dark Nebula, the Dark Nebula betrayed me. They'll do the same to you too Yuu. Once they do, I'll be waiting for you. I'm not giving up on you, not now, not ever! I'll always be there for you, at least know that much. When the Dark Nebula betrays you, I'll still welcome you with open arms, and I promise I won't turn my back on you like they will. I hope you'll remember that, and remember just how much I care for you." She walked away.
"The Dark Nebula will never betray me! Ryuuga is too cool to do that!"
I walked over to Hiro-kun and Rei.
"Hiro-kun! Rei!" They both turned to me. Rei smiled.
"AI!" She ran over and gave me a hug, so I picked her up. Hiro-kun walked over calmly.
"Hey Ai."
"Hey Hiro-kun. I never knew that you started Blading again, or that you were qualified for Battle Bladers." He sheepishly smiled.
"It turns out you were right. I was able to start Blading again after I forgave that no good a-"
"HIROMASA!"
"Jerk of a boyfriend of yours. I still don't like him, but at least he's not down right evil anymore."
"Can I see your Bey?" Rei smiled at me.
"Nee-sama has the best Bey! We match and it is cool! It's cool, cool, cool!" She spoke in a singsong voice. Hiro-kun nodded.
"It's true." He opened up his Bey holder and took out a Bey. "See, it's Flame Demios 145S." It was a pretty sweet looking Bey. It was mostly yellow, with a blank metal Face Bolt and an energy ring that had several spikes on it. The Spin track was yellow, and the Performance Tip was yellow too. "It's modeled after the second moon of Mars, Deimos." Rei smiled.
"We're called the Mars Moon Siblings! Mars Moon, Mars Moon, Mars Moon!"
"Did you make that little song all by yourself?"
"Yes, I did, I did, I did!" I smiled.
"Come on, let's get to the stands so we can watch."
"Actually, I was planning on sitting at a different part of the stadium."
"What? Why?"
"I'm sorry, but I know that you'd be sitting next to Kyoya, and I can't stand him. He may not be down right evil, but he's still not a nice guy, and I honestly can't see why you like him so much. I'm not gonna ask you to pick between me or Kyoya. I'll just make that decision for you so you won't have so much to worry about. Rei?" She jumped out of my arms.
"Bye Nee-chan! And tell Arty that I say hi!" They ran off.
"Arty? Does she mean Artemis? He's still back at the hotel, because he wasn't feeling well. Oh well then." I went to go find Kyoya in the stands, since he went ahead to go find us seats.
"In the very first match up of the day, we have big, bad Benkei and his battling Dark Bull, oh yeah!"
"Let's do this thing! I'm starting things off right! It's me against the Captain, huh? Well, the Captain's going down with his ship! BA-BA-BA-BA-BULL!"
"His opponent is the straight shooter Captain Capri!"
"Watch me take the bull by its horns!" We were pretty excited for the match. Ginga threw his arm up in the air.
"Come on Benkei!" Madoka cupped her mouth.
"I know you can do it!" I nodded.
"Just think about what you're fighting for, and believe in your Bladers Spirit, and you'll win for sure!" Doji started laughing from his balcony.
"So then, it finally beings, the tournament set up for Ryuuga and L-Drago. Victory can be so satisfying, especially when there are so many excellent Bladers. I never thought so many would make it this far."
"Here we go Bladers! Alright, ready?"
"Mission rela and adjust angle 20!"
"Okay Bull, time to charge!"
"3-!"
"2-!"
"1-!"
"LET IT RIP!" They both launched their Beys. Capricorn's frenetic movement made it almost impossible for Benkei to tell where it was coming from.
"Bull what?"
"With its Quake Performance Tip, Capricorn can jump around randomly! Dark Bull is at its mercy, it just can't keep up!"
"Okay, this is gonna be fun! Time to get rid of the Bull in one Special Move! CAPRICORN SPIN SCREWDRIVER!" Capricorn jumped up in the air.
"Thanks for doing me a favor!"
"HUH?! WHAT'D YA MEAN?!"
"When Capricorn uses its Special Move, that's the only time you can make out where it's going." Capricorn was falling down in a spiraling red tornado. "Alright, hit him hard Bull! DARK BULL SPECIAL MOVE RED HORN UPPERCUT!" Just as Capricorn landed, it hit Benkei's Special Move. "Keep it up!" Bull flung Capricorn right out of the stadium.
"And the first match goes to BA-BA-BA-BA-BENKEI!"
"BA-BA-BA-BULL!" We were all cheering. Tobio's lollipop fell right out of his mouth, next to his Bey. He fell down to his knees.
"No, this can't be! This just can't be! This can't be happening!" Doji looked on with an expression of boredom.
"Oh, losing stinks, not that I would know anything about that."
"Well, things are just cranking up folks! Time for the second battle to begin! The opponents are your favorite dude with the kick Kenta versus the King of the Crabs Tetsuya!" Everybody cheered at Kenta's name, but booed at Tetsuya's.
"Ah, what, no fans?" Madoka looked a bit worried.
"What's Tetsuya doing here? There's no way he earned those 50,000 points fair and square." I nodded.
"But there's no way to prove that he cheated his way here, unless the Bladers he stole the points from are willing to come forward and say something, but they're either too scared or too embarrassed." Ginga nodded and then cupped his mouth.
"Watch your back Kenta!" Osamu, Takashi, and Akira all shouted words of encouragement to Kenta as well. He nodded, showing that he acknowledged us.
"I'm gonna keep up what Benkei started. I will definitely win this battle!"
"Crabby he-he-he-he-he-he! Captain Capri had a weak shell, okay crab? It looks like the only one who can carry the Dark Nebula into the future is your truly. Me, Tetsuya crab!" He put his crab, I mean his Bey that is a crab, into the Launcher.
"Okay, let's get going. Ready?! 3-!"
"2-!"
"1-!"
"LET IT RIP!" They both launched their Beys.
"In preparation for this day, I have undergone extremely treacherous training crab!" He spoke that sentence like Arnold Schwarzeneggar. "Waterfall training, grizzly training, alligator training, and I created Tetsuya's number 1 top notch best tactic ever! And now, all of my training and hard work will allow me to unleash that tactic on you!" His Bey landed beside him. Kenta started cheering for himself.
"I did it!"
"Sagittario's Flame Claw takes it!" We were all still cheering for him while Tetsuya rambled on, not knowing that he had already lost.
"Yes it's my time crab, the first scuttle on my way to the top of the world! Not really a Dark Move, but rather a Dark Trick, a shadowy tactic by the name of, are you ready for it?" He finally saw his Bey on the ground and started screaming. "Crabba what? What happened to my poor Dark Gasher?" I sweat dropped.
"Really Tetsuya? I know that he's thick, but really?"
"Now Tetsuya, the battle is over! Please step down so that the next epic battle can begin!" He was still in shellshock.
"What just happen crab? I was so excited to talk about myself that I lost before I could even use my Dark Trick! MR. Doji will be very, very, very sad about this crab!" Doji looked like a mixture of frustrated, embarrassed, and annoyed.
"As if I was counting on him anyway." Yuu was shouting from where he was sitting in at stands at Kenta.
"Good job Kenchi! Congratulations!" Kenta ran right past him without giving him a second thought.
"GINGA!"
"Huh?" Ginga smiled.
"You did it Kenta!" I nodded.
"You were amazing out there. I feel like you should've gotten a better opponent than the crab guy though. I'm still about ready to freaking kill him every time I see him, but that humiliating defeat is good enough for me."
"Thanks!" Benkei leaned over, almost falling out, but Kyoya, with one hand, pulled him back in.
"Thanks Kyoya buddy! Anyways, you'll be battling me in the second round, but I will not lose! I can't because it's my biggest dream to battle Kyoya in the final round, you know?" I sweat dropped.
"Benkei, do you mean in the whole tournament, or within the A Block?"
"The whole tournament of course!"
"Benkei, you can't. If anything, I'd be battling Kyoya in the finals, because the finals are the winners from A Block and the B Block. You can battle him in the semi finals, but not in the finals." Benkei was completely crushed by that, and had those little blue lines on his face.
"You mean I can't battle Kyoya in the finals?!" I nodded.
"Yeah."
"Well, I'm still gonna beat you Kenta!"
"Sorry Benkei, but I'm gonna do my best to win the next match, and then battle Ginga in the semi finals for sure! I'll win that too, and then battle you Ai!" I smiled.
"That's the spirit Kenta. Keep that up, and you'll definitely beat Burger Brain." Kyoya burst out laughing after hearing me call Ginga that.
"What'd you call me?!"
"Burger Brain. Sorry, I couldn't resist. I thought up of that nickname forever and a day ago." Madoka giggled.
"You got to admit Ginga, it's pretty fitting." Yuu looked pretty mad.
"I'd like to know the reason why you like Ginga and Ai so much anyways Kenchi. Ryuuga is like, a hundred times strong and cooled for sure!"
"Next, in the third battle, we have Teru versus Ruutaro in a battle that features awesome defense and wicked offense!" We had been so busy talking that we never noticed that the battle had already started. Ruutaro made a pentagram with his fan again, and I got a headache.
"Ah! My head hurts so much!" Kyoya took me in his arms.
"Don't worry, it'll go away as soon as the battle's over." Ruutaro created his special space. Teru looked worried.
"What?" Pisces flung Virgo out of the stadium. "AH! Virgo!"
"The third battle goes to Ruutaro!" My head stopped hurting.
"Kyoya, I'm fine now."
"So?"
"You can let go now."
"I don't think so." Ruutaro smiled.
"Victory is all mine!" He rang some random bells that he had. "The first test is done!"
"Oh no, Virgo and I are still not shining brightly. Not nearly brightly enough, it's true." On the big screen, it showed Ruutaro with the Dark Nebula symbol behind it. Ginga noticed it.
"Hey, look there!" The symbol honestly sent shivers down my spine, but it confirmed my thoughts that fortunetellers are evil.
"The Dark Nebula Organization's mark! See, I told you! Fortunetellers are evil!" Ginga shook his head.
"I just can't believe it though." Ginga and Yuu's pictures appeared on the screen.
"Now, the fourth battle of the A Block that you've all been waiting for! Ladies and gentlemen, you guessed it, here comes Yuu versus Ginga!" Kenta looked up at his hero.
"Do your best Ginga!" I nodded.
"Don't go easy on him. He may be a kid, but he's strong. Be careful."
"Well, that's my plan." I rolled my eyes.
"I highly doubt that, but I'll take your word for it."
"Hey, I'll win, no matter how I battle!" Benkei nodded.
"Ginga didn't come all this way to lose, right Ginga?"
"No way Benkei!" He laughed as Yuu glared at him.
Time Skip
"The first to arrive for this battle is Yuu! Yu was the winner of the Survival Battle, tying only with Hakuchoo Hane and Ai Minasan. It was his, and Hakuchoo's, idea to have the Battle Bladers tournament. As its co creator, he can't allow himself to lose in the first round, now can he?"
"I won't lose, okay?"
"Using the flying horse Pegasis, his opponent is Ginga!" Ginga started turning back and forth with his arm raised, acknowledging the many cheers of the crowd. "Ginga has never won against Yuu, so I ask, what kind of battle plan will he show us today on this very important stage!"
"My battle here is just beginning, okay?" Hyoma folded his arms over his chest in the stands with us.
"His first battle is with the Dark Nebula's number two. That's a strong opponent." I nodded, also folding my arms.
"But you've got to remember Hyoma, we've all gotten much stronger. And Ginga managed to beat me last time we all battled, with Madoka's help granted, but still, beating me isn't easy. I'm not saying this to gloat, but there's a reason why the Dark Nebula wants me out of the way. And I've tied with Yuu. If Ginga can beat me, then he can almost certainly beat Yuu, unless he hasn't grown as strong as I would think, but he gained 47,000 Bey Points in two months, and honestly, I could never do that. I'm sure he'll be just fine. Ginga's got plenty of Bladers Spirit, and he has the determination to face off against Ryuuga in the end, just like me." Kenta nodded.
"You can do it Ginga!" Osamu, Takashi, and Akira cheered very loudly behind me while Kyoya just had that usual frown on his face. Doji was laughing from his balcony.
"Do your best now Yuu, though of course, no matter who makes it to the end, the result will be the same." He laughed some more.
Ryuuga launched L-Drago into a concrete wall, leaving a good-sized crater in it. He turned to the TV screen in his training room to look at Ginga and Yuu's battle.
Ginga had a very serious look on his face.
"In order to battle Ryuuga, I have to win! I will do it!" Yuu got his Launcher and Bey out.
"Wow, this is getting exciting, and we haven't even started the battle yet! Right Libra?" He put Libra in its Launcher.
"And now, the fourth battle of the A Block begins! Ready? 3-!"
"2-!"
"1-!"
"LET IT RIP!" They launched their Beys.
"Pegasis and Libra race through the stadium, so which one will make the first move?"
"I will! I'm gonna go first!" Libra clashed with Pegasis, sending Pegasis to the edge of the stadium.
"Here I go too!" Pegasis swung back down to attack Libra.
"Oh boy! Your power's strong as ever Ginga, but you don't think it's enough to actually push me back, do you?" Libra easily escaped Pegasis's attack. "GO LIBRA!" Libra hit Pegasis right out of the stadium. "Huh? It's over already?"
"It's not over yet!"
"Huh?"
"PEGASIS STAR BLAST ATTACK!" Pegasis started shooting down like a pegasus flying down from the heavens.
"Oh, of course! That's what you're doing, but have you forgotten that that move doesn't work on me? That's just sad. LIBRA SONIC SHIELD!" Sonic pulses started coming from Libra as Pegasis fell down, which knocked away Pegasis.
"Oh yeah, well how about this? PEGASIS TORNADO WING!" Pegasis started circling around the stadium with incredible speed while glowing with a blue flame like aura. It looked like it was starting to create a tornado.
"Whoa man! Another big move is unleashed but what can it do against Libra's amazing balance?" Yuu started laughing.
"It's no use! With that level of attack, Libra's Eternal Sharp Performance Tip won't even budge an inch!"
"Libra's awfully good!"
"Now it's my turn! LIBRA!" Libra sent out a sonic wave that dispersed Pegasis's tornado. Madoka was shocked.
"Libra's shock wave got rid of Ginga's tornado in a split second?" I nodded.
"Sounds can do almost anything. Supersonic or ultrasonic vibrations can shake things apart, push things away, and sounds within the hearing range can affect things in that way too, and how people act. Sound is much more powerful than people realize, and probably one of the most underestimated things in the world." I took out heart Venosus. "That's why I choose to use sonic vibrations for my Bey. Luckily, Libra, just like Venosus, or Swan, or any other Bey that uses sonic vibrations, has only a limited frequency range that it can use. Ginga just needs to figure out how to do that." Kenta shouted out at him.
"You can do it Ginga!"
"That's nothing! Watch this! LIBRA SONIC WAVE!" Libra sent out a concentrated bullet of sound at Pegasis, who quickly dodged it.
"No way!" Benkei started leaning over the stands.
"Yikes, that's bad!" Madoka was utterly shocked.
"C-could it be?!" She pulled out her laptop. "Libra fired the shock-wave created by it super sonic vibrations out like a bullet. There's something in the Energy Ring that lets the vibrations out on all sides, but when lowers, makes the sound bounce around and come out at one single point." Yuu was laughing.
"Libra's sonic wave can be used like this too! Have a looksie everyone!" Libra kept sending out its sound bullets. "There! There! There! There!" Pegasis had to keep dodging. Hyoma looked very concerned for his childhood friend.
"He can target his opponent with a super sonic wave." Hikaru nodded.
"Yeah, I know. Even Pegasis can't withstand a full blow from something like that." I nodded.
"The frequencies Libra gives out break apart rock and stop rotation. Either one of those would spell out instant loss. I'd prefer to think that it's the latter, and not the former that Libra does." Kenta, even more worried than before, called out to Ginga.
"RUN FOR IT GINGA!" Ginga looked frustrated since all Pegasis could do was keep dodging at this point. Yuu was laughing again.
"Go ahead and run, but you can't keep it up forever you know!" Pegasis kept dodging several of Libra's sonic bullets. "Now! Finish it!" One of the sonic bullets made its way towards Pegasis, but instead of it attack, Pegasis used it to propel itself up into the sky.
"GO! GO!" Pegasis landed, attacking Libra as soon as it hit the ground.
"No! How can you counter attack from that position?"
"I vowed to defeat Ryuuga."
"Huh?"
"Until I've done that, no matter what happens, I will never give up!"
"Did you say Ryuuga? You've got some nerve talking like that! That's never gonna happen! No way! You're dreaming!" With one attack, Libra pushed Pegasis away. "First you gotta defeat me, okay?! LIBRA SONIC BUSTER!" Libra started turning the stadium into sand, which also somehow created a giant tornado filled with sand. None of us could even see anything. Across the stadium, Rei was actually being blown away with the wind.
"NEE-SAMA!"
"REI!" Hiro-kun tried to grab her, and he could open his eyes because of his glasses, but he wasn't able to grab Rei, who started flying around the stadium.
"HELP ME!" I instantly recognized that voice.
"REI!"
"NEE-CHAN!" I could barely open my eyes, but it was enough to be able to see that Rei was coming my way from my left. I reach out my left hand to grabbed her, and she instantly grabbed onto my hand. I grabbed her arm with my other hands and pulled her in, holding her close to me.
"Rei, are you alright?"
"I'm fine! That was really scary, but fun too!" Ginga was trying to keep Libra at Bey, but Yuu's Libra wasn't letting up, which made Yuu smile.
"This time I'll make you a victim of my super sonic blast!" Libra started sending out its sonic bullets, which just barely missed Pegasis. Kenta was trying to look while covering his eyes. Honestly, I was worried he'd blow away like Rei did, but Rei's smaller and a couple years younger. Even so, I held a firm hand on his shoulder just in case he did while he spoke.
"How is he aiming at Pegasis through that vicious sand storm?!" Madoka put on her goggles and looked at her laptop.
"I honestly don't know Kenta!"
"He can see it!" All of us were shocked at what Kyoya said. "He can see it alright, even in the swarming sand storm, he can see Pegasis's position." Yuu was laughing as Libra sent out its sonic bullets. Ginga still somehow managed to make sure that Pegasis dodged them.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! This time I won't let you escape!" Three of the bullets headed Pegasis's way.
"Not good!" Benkei nodded at Kyoya's comment.
"He can't dodge that one!" Yuu laughed once more.
"Bye, bye Pegasis!" The bullet made connection with Pegasis, lighting the stadium up with a green light. Doji smiled.
"That was quite the battle!"
"Finally, Libra's super sonic blast hits its mark! Is it all over for Pegasis?" Kenta looked up and called out to him.
"GINGA!" Yuu was laughing harder than ever.
"That was totally fun! Ginga, you tried really, really, really hard, but too bad. I win, you lose!" The dust cleared, and Pegasis was still spinning, which shocked everyone.
"Unbelievable! Pegasis is still spinning! It withstood a direct hit from that super sonic blast!" Kenta pumped his fist into the air.
"GINGA!"
"Too bad Yuu. Your super sonic blast doesn't affect my Pegasis!"
"Th-th-that can't be! Why not?"
"I see!" We all turned to Madoka. "It's a vacuum. If there's no air, then there's no vibrations. The moment that Libra's super sonic blast hit, Pegasis crated a vacuum wall that disrupted the super sonic vibration!" Yuu looked really mad at that.
"No! NO!"
"Now it's my turn!" Pegasis went in and clashed with Libra.
"And now here we have Pegasis's fierce counter attack! However, with its superb balance, Libra withstands Pegasis's strong attack! It just won't quit!"
"Come on! This is starting to be way less fun! Look, Libra doesn't just have balance and stamina." Libra struck Pegasis, sending it away. "Do you like that? An offense using the balance of the Eternal Sharp Performance Tip is equal to the power of an Attack Type Bey, so there! This is getting fun again!"
"I couldn't agree with you more. Let's go Yuu!"
"Yeah, the sooner we go, the sooner you lose!"
"This one is too close to call! It's a fierce and fiery clash! It's gonna be a fight to the finish to see who will come out on top!"
"Come on! Crush his spirit Libra!"
"Fight 'em Pegasis!" Benkei looked pretty excited.
"That's the way!" Kyoya nodded.
"Come on now, just keep it together." Madoka cupped her hands together.
"Ginga!" Kenta nodded.
"You gotta take this!" I smiled.
"You can win this Ginga!" Rei smiled.
"Ginga! Ginga! Ginga!" The crowd was divided in half, with one half cheering for Yuu, the other half cheering for Ginga. I looked around and saw my other friends cheering for Ginga as well.
"PEGASIS!"
"LIBRA!"
"Both Bladers are neck and neck! The crowd is going wild here! The asked for a big finish, and they're gonna get one!"
"Ginga, I'd love to battle you all day, but this has gotta end now!"
"Good point! Both of us have reached the limit of our stamina. Plus it's getting past your bedtime!" Hakuchoo stood up somewhere in the stands.
"His bedtime is at 8:30, not now!" Yuu tried to ignore the embarrassing comment from Hakuchoo.
"Now I'm gonna win this Ginga!"
"Sorry, Pegasis and I don't lose!"
"Here we go! LIBRA!" A green tornado of light shot up from Libra. "Ready? SPECIAL MOVE LIBRA! INFERNO BLAST!" Pegasis was being pulled into the beam of light.
"AH! PEGASIS! DON'T GIVE UP PEGASIS!"
"It's no use, you're gonna lose! Ha, Libra wins! It's time for Pegasis to sing the blues!"
"DO IT NOW PEGASIS!"
"Huh?" Pegasis was surrounded by a blue aura. It started spinning around the stadium like crazy. We were all pretty excited about it.
"SPECIAL MOVE! PEGASIS STORM BRINGER!" Libra's Inferno Blast disappeared, and Pegasis went in for a direct attack, which lit up the stadium with a blue light that ended up engulfing a good portion of the downtown area we were in. It disappeared, but Libra was nowhere to be seen for a little bit. After a few seconds, it fell down from the sky and landed right next to Yuu.
"L-l-Libra?" The stadium erupted in cheers.
"WE HAVE A WINNER AND IT! IS! GINGA!" He called Pegasis to his hand. Madoka was clapping.
"Alright! Yeah!" Kenta had a huge smile on his face.
"GINGA YOU DID IT!" Rei looked up at me.
"Nee-chan, why didn't Ginga just do that in the first place?" I smiled at her.
"Because, he need to show Yuu what a Bey battle was all about. Yu only thinks its fun if he wins, but I think that Ginga's showed him that it's fun either way, and that the most important thing isn't actually winning, it's the fighting spirit inside that wants to win. He need to give Yuu a good battle to show Yuu the meaning of having Bladers Spirit."
"Bladers Spirit?" Yuu fell to his knees, holding Libra.
"I actually lost, and lost to someone other than Ryuuga?" Ginga walked over to him. "Huh? Ginga?" Ginga had a huge smile on his face.
"You really are an amazing Blader."
"Huh?"
"You and your Libra. Let's battle again sometime. A match against you is a real adventure, that's for sure." Yuu was pretty silent, until a random person shouted from the stadium (seriously, who was this guy?).
"Way to go guys!"
"Congratulations Ginga!"
"Yuu was awesome too!" Kenta shouted out.
"You two guys rock!" Benkei nodded.
"Talk about a great battle!" I nodded.
"That was one of the best battles I've ever seen!" Ginga held his hand out to Yuu.
"Alright, let's do it soon!" Yuu took his hand.
"Sounds good Ginga." He smiled. "I get it. That's why Kenchi likes this guy. Gingi is really strong and cool. I don't know why he likes Ai so much, but I guess I'll just have to battle her next!" Doji looked down at the scene.
"So this is the end for Yuu after all. He was never included in the plans for the future of the Dark Nebula anyway." Doji turned his head to look behind him "Well, well, it looks like it's finally your turn my friend. Let's show Ginga and his friends just how nasty we can be, shall we?" There was a really creepy guy with red hair that had yellow fringes and a snake eye pattern on both sides. He turned his head to look the other way. "And as for you, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while, but once you take the Planetary Blader's strength and converge it to Ryuuga, of your own accord of course, the Dark Nebula will be the strongest in the world." He was talking to the girl with the black hair and the dark violet eyes. She wore a simple black long sleeved turtleneck dress that ended at about mid thigh with black leggings and black ballet flats. Her eyes glowed with a black aura. Doji started laughing evilly.
The Outer Bladers were all talking with each other outside the stadium.
"Did you see that one girl with the black hair and the violet eyes?" Sukai nodded at Umi's question.
"Yeah, I did. She might be Saturn's daughter, but Chika said that all of us were awakened, and while that's very evident, we all have these," she lifted up her pendant, which was simply a cloud with the symbol for Uranus on it, "and that girl didn't have one. These can't come off in any way that I know of, so if she's really Saturn's daughter, then she would have one." Chika shook her head.
"It's definitely her. I can sense it. Sukai, you should be able to sense it better than anyone else."
"You're the eldest of us, so you would probably know how to work with this better. You've also always been aware of your powers."
"I know, but you should still be able to sense it. We all should. Raimei probably sense something too, but none of the others would, except for maybe Chikyuu. And there's no doubt. It's her. It's Saturn's daughter." Sukai looked pretty worried.
"Umi, I'm not comfortable with you battling with her then."
"I have to. In order to protect the world, not only for Beyblade, but for everyone and everything in general, I must battle."
"I'm afraid I agree with Sukai. It's far too dangerous to battle her."
"We're the Outer Bladers. It's our job to do the most dangerous jobs. If Saturn's daughter has awakened, then I must be there to stop her, or at least try." Sukai shook her head.
"But she's one of the ones who must give Ai her strength if Ginga should fail. It's the Planets, the Sun, the Moon, the Earth, and the Stars, and nothing excludes them. All must give Ai their energy to battle if Ginga should fail." Chika sighed.
"Her heart is filled with darkness, but not the darkness of L-Drago, and not even the darkness of Saturn himself. She's filled with the darkness of her own experiences. If she were to give that power to Ai, it would destroy her, and she would die." Umi shook her head.
"Not if I beat her in our battle. I'll show her what a true Bey battle means, and hopefully, I'll be able to change her heart. I have to try." Chika hung her head.
"But what if it's not enough?" They all thought of the dark girl with her dark, black aura surrounding her.
