SEASON 5: EPISODE 53: AVENGER ON THE ICE.
-DREAM SEQUENCE-
Leo is seen standing on the left side of the stadium breathing heavily while the crowd cheered for him. On the right side of the stadium was Kyoya kneeling down on one knee. Kyoya looked up. Simba attacked Leone and Leo and Kyoya glaired at each other. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Leo shouted. Simba charged forward and collided with Leone, causing a bright flash of light. Leo gasped.
-END OF DREAM SEQUENCE-
Leo sat up in bed and put his left hand on his face. "A dream. Whoa. Why am i dreaming about that day again? Oh man, feels like bad luck."
-IN TOWN-
"In Battle Bladers, Gingka and his friends have almost tide with the Dark Nebula! The next battle is hugely important! And that third match is today!" D J said on screen. Leo and Reji's pictures appeared on screen! The future of beyblade is at steak! Dont ya dare miss it!"
-WITH THE DARK NEBULA-
"Let it Rip!" Came a voice from inside a closed room. "Let's go now, Poison Serpent!" Said Reji. Serpent charged forward and the other Dark Nebula bladers launched their beys. They beys charged forward. "Now, scamper all of them!" Serpent took out one bey, then turned around and defeated the other beys. Serpent returned to Reji's hand. "I won't forgive you! I won't forgive you, Leo Tategami!"
-FLASHBACK-
Reji remembered how he lost to Leo in the town of San McGale. "You disgraced me in battle. Ever since then, my pride as a Dark Nebula blader has been in ruins!"
-END OF FLASHBACK-
"I want revenge! I'll get it! Leo Tategami! Look out!" Reji said.
-FLASHBACK-
"No! Stop! Leave my Rejice alone!" Siren said as she watched her bey break appart. Ryuga put L-Drago in it's launcher and launched it. The bey transformed into it's dragon form and charged strate towards Siren as she screamed at the top of her lungs. L-Drago attacked her, sending her flying back, hitting her head on the wall. Siren fell face down on the floor, now unconcious. L-Drago returned to Ryuga.
-END OF FLASHBACK-
"I am not the same as Siren is! I'll defeat you and get my pride back! I will get it back and crush you flat! Knucklheads, why are you just standing there? Next launch again!" Reji said. He put his bey in his launcher.
"Yes sir!" Said the Dark Nebula bladers as they ran to get ready for another launch.
-WITH KYKYO AND ANSEM-
Kykyo and Ansem were standing on a metal bridge, watching Reji practice.
"It looks like everything is going well." Ansem said.
"I believe his defeat has made him stronger." Kykyo said.
"Okay, but he will not be forgiven if he loses again." Ansem said.
"That's true. The future of the Dark Nebula is hanging in the balance of this fight for sure. His own future hangs in the balance as well, does it not? Hmm?" Kykyo said.
-IN TOWN-
In town, Leo and Kyoya were bey battling while the others watched. Leone was sent flying into the air and landed on the ground. Simba returned to Leo's hand.
"Awesome! That was awesome, Leo! You're really on top of your game today. Pence said. Leo and Kyoya were now sitting down.
"You've won eight out of ten battles against Kyoya." Tommy said.
"Naturally." Leo said.
"Hm. This is just a worm up before your battle, so i'm going easy on you." Kyoya said.
"Are you jealous, Kyoya?" Zoe asked.
"Of course not, that's silly." Kyoya said.
"We're counting on you in the 12'th battle." Gingka said.
"Counting on me? I don't need you to tell me that!" Leo said.
"What gives, Leo?" Pence asked.
"Huh?" Leo said.
"If you're this strong, why are you only second best while Kyoya's first best?" Pence asked.
"Huh?" The gang said.
"Rrrrrrrrr!" Leo remembered his battle with Kyoya.
"I mean if you are this good, it seems like you would've become number one at some point for sure. Huh?" Pence said.
"Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" Leo stood up. "At the next championship, i'm gonna defeat you for sure!"
"Huh?" Kyoya said.
"You better be ready!" Leo punched Kyoya in the stumeche, causing him to caugh.
"Kyoya!" Minette said with worry.
"Gingka, you too, pal!" Leo said.
"Hmm." Gingka said.
"Hm!" Leo turned and walked away from the group.
"Leo. Hey. Did i say something wrong to him?" Pence asked.
"You see, Leo has a lot of pride like Kyoya, okay? Number 2 to him is like being called a failure." Amber said.
"But it really is strange, isn't it? Leo is the only one who hasn't won a championship out of all you guys." Mikey said.
"So why is that?" Madoka asked.
"Why, you ask? Uh, long story." Kyoya said.
"Yeah. He has this...this bad habit" Amber said.
-WITH LEO-
"Who are they calling second best?!" Leo said as he walked down the street. "That time i should've been number one!" He thought.
-FLASHBACK-
"The fighting continues in the final battle of the world championships! Neather of the two top bladers, Kyoya and Leo , will give even an inch!" D J said.
Kyoya was breathing heavily. "Don't quit, Leone!"
Leo was also out of breath. "Send 'em flying, Simba!" Simba sent Leone flying.
"With it's superier power, Simba sends Leone flying! But Leone hangs on!" D J said. Simba sent Leone flying again. "Simba overwhelms Leone! Does Leone have no way of fighting?" Simba pushed Leone back.
Kyoya was breathing heavily and knelt down on one knee. "Leone!"
"What's the matter, Kyoya? Are you finished already?" Leo asked.
Kyoya continued breathing heavily. "Not yet!"
"Huh?" Leo said.
A green glow formed around Kyoya's body. "Not yet!" He looked up at Leo. Kyoya stood up. "Leone and i have more, more power to give! GO!" Leone and Simba collided with each other, creating a whirlwind. Simba and Leone charged at each other and collided. Leone retreated and attacked Simba again.
"BRING IT ON! I'LL CRUSH YOU! GO, SIMBA!" Leo said. Simba charged forward.
-END OF FLASHBACK-
"I'm not the same as i was back then." Leo said.
-AT THE ARENA-
Gingka and friends and the Dark Nebula! Who will earn a match point first? Welcome to what is sure to be a thrill, fill, 12'th battle of Battle Bladers!" D J said.
-WITH PEGASUS-
"A win it this 12'th match won't be a normal win. It will be a match point, you see. It will put extra pressure on the opposing team because they will not be able to lose again. In other words, the next win will be more valuable and have more of a impact then any other. This match is going to be one nasty fight." Pegasus said.
"Hm." Lady Venus and Darts both nodded.
-ON STAGE-
"This is the battle of beyblade Battle Bladers!" D J said. Flames shot up around the arena.
"Yay!" Said a voice.
"Awesome!" Added another voice.
"In the B corner, it's Leo!" D J said. The crowd cheered.
-IN THE STANDS-
"You can do it, Leo!" Kenta said.
"If you lose, you're in big trouble!" Benkei said.
"I'm not sure that's really the best way to cheer him on, Benkei." Killua said.
-ON STAGE-
"In the W corner, the Dark Nebula, Reji!" D J said. The crowd booed Reji.
"Come on! Crush him flat, Reji!" Astranema said. Ryuga just watched.
-IN THE STANDS-
"WHA?!" Everyone was shocked.
"You've gotta be kidding me! Leo's opponent is Reji? I thought he was suppose to be battling Iron Mouse!" Gingka said.
"He was! Some one must've changed his opponent!" Madoka said.
"But who would be able to do a thing like that?" Nene asked.
"I'll give you guys a hint. He has spikey black hair and wears a blue suit." Christopher said.
"Doji!" Everyone finally caught on to Christopher's riddle.
"You guessed right on the first try." Christopher said.
"I hope Leo knows what he's doing." Zoe said
"So do i." Tommy said.
"Don't worry about it." Pence said.
"Huh?" They all looked at Pence.
"Leo's beat this creep before. And there's not a doubt in my mind that he can do it again." Pence said.
-ON STAGE-
"I told you this, Leo. That the next we met you'd lose." Reji said.
"Really? I can't remember something that happened so long ago." Leo said.
"I will have my revenge! I'll pay you back ten times for all the humiliation you've caused me! And this time I'm not holding back!" Reji said.
"Okay, this is the 12'th match of Battle Bladers! Here is the stadium that will serve as the battle ground!" D J said. A hole opened up and a stadium made out of ice came up.
"What is that?" Leo asked. The crowd was amazed by this.
-IN THE STANDS-
"What kind of stadium is that thing?" Sierra asked.
-ON STAGE-
"Whoa! This time the computer has chosen a stadium made intirely out of ice! Welcome to the ice stadium!" D J said.
-IN THE STANDS-
"Who even knew it was possible to make a stadium out of ice?" Amber said.
"I think that this stadium could really work out for Leo in the end." Pence said.
"How is that?" Gingka asked.
"If the ground is soft, Poison Serpent can dive into, move around, and attack from underground. But i don't think it'll be able into that hard ice stadium." Pence said.
"So in other words, the opponent can't use it's signeture technique." Gingka said.
"Especially since Poison Serpent is an attack type. If it can't use a technique that will give it an edge, it'll have a hard time against the stamina type, Simba." Mikey said as he looked at the screen on his laptop. The screen had Poison Serpent on it.
"Yes sir, this match is our!" Gingka said.
"I hope that's true. Let's watch and find out." Killua said.
-ON STAGE-
"Prepare! The price for having wounded my pride is very high indeed." Reji said as he put his bey in his launcher.
"Well then, instead of wounding it a second time, i'll smash it to peaces!" Leo put Simba in it's launcher.
"Let's get this battle started! Here we go, everybody! 3-!" D J said.
"2-!"
"1-!"
"LET IT RIP!" Reji and Leo launched their beys into the ice stadium.
"Go now, Simba!" Leo said.
"Serpent, bent 'em down hard!" Reji said.
Simba charged at Serpent and sent it flying with a head of collision.
"In the first attack, Simba sends Poison Serpent flying!" D J said.
Serpent charged forward.
"Attack again, Simba!" Leo said. Simba attacked Serpent.
"Simba delivers multiple attacks to Poison Serpent, leaving no chance to counter attack! It continues to push Serpent back with endless punishment!" D J said.
-IN THE STANDS-
"Go hard, Leo!" Kyoya said.
"Just as we thought. It seems that Poison Serpent cannot dive under the ice to attack." Mikey said.
"Leo, keep going until you push him right out of the stadium!" Minette said.
"Why did i doubt him i wonder?" Killua thought. He then looked and saw that Ryuga, Annie, Oakley, Iron Mouse, Lead Crow, Tin Nyanko and Astranema were all smiling. "So why do they all look so comfident?" He watched as the battle between Serpent and Simba continued. "What do they know that i don't?"
-ON STAGE-
Simba sent Serpent flying out of the ice stadium. "Simba is so strong! Will it be all over for Poison Serpent before it has a chance to do anything?" D J said.
"Hey, what's wrong? Aren't you going to take revenge on me, buddy?" Leo asked.
"Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm." Reji stuck out his tongue like snake.
-IN THE STANDS-
"Tommy." Killua said.
"Huh? Yes?" Tommy said.
"Check how much damage Serpent has taken?" Killua said.
"Uh...but what for, Killua?" Tommy asked.
"Hurry up!" Killua said.
"What's the deal, Killua?" Gingka asked.
Tommy got out his CPU and pulled up a hollowgraphic screen that showed Poison Serpent. "Oh, what is this?"
"Tommy." Zoe said.
"It's been hit so many times by Simba, but it's practically taken no damage at all! In fact, Simba is the one that's lost power! But why?" Tommy said.
"Because of this! According to this, each time Simba attacked Serpent, it was injected with poison! That's why it's lost so much power!" Madoka said.
"WHAT?!"
"Oh no! Not again!" Benkei said.
-ON STAGE-
"What is going on? It's been hit with so many attacks!" Leo said.
Reji laughed. "So you've finally noticed it, have you?"
-IN THE STANDS-
Killua gasped when realization struck him. "It's the ice!"
"The ice?" Nene said.
"I see. Simba's attack powers decreased because it's wheel slipping on the ice. It's like trying to box while wearing rolerskates." Tommy said.
"Oh no! Leo!" Pence said.
"Hang on. Then it should be the same for Poison Serpent. Even if it attacks, it won't damage Simba." Kenta said.
-ON STAGE-
"Hi there. I suppose i could start my counter attack. Poison Serpent!" Reji said. Serpent charged at Simba and sent it flying.
"That's a really strong attack just now! Simba was hit head on and hard by Poison Serpent!" D J said.
"But how?" Leo asked.
-IN THE STANDS-
"Hey, what's going on, Tommy? Serpent's attack delivered damage." Gingka said.
"It shouldn't though." Tommy said. He then gasped when he saw something on the hollowgraphic screen.
"What's up? Kyoya asked.
"It's because of this core. The surface is covered with scales like a snake that gert the ice so it wont slip." Tommy said.
"So then once again the stadium is better for the Dark Nebula?" Zoe questioned.
"Rrrrr! I knew it!" Killua said.
-ON STAGE-
"Serpent's greatest weapon is that amazing core. Even in a stadium made of ice, it moves just like a sea snake through calm water." Astranema said.
"No other beyblades can surpass Serpent on the ice." Ryuga said.
Reji laughed. "So, time to torment you till you're finished." Serpent attacked Simba.
"What a wild turn of events! Serpent attacks Simba without a break!" D J said.
"Rrrrrrrrr! Simba, Counter Attack!" Leo said.
-IN THE STANDS-
"Leo! Hey, isn't there anything he can do?" Pence asked.
"I understand how you feel. But even though Serpent doesn't slip, Simba still does. The moment Simba is attacked, it's core slips. So the damage reseaved reduced some what, but..." Tommy said.
"Oh. So maybe there's still a chance to turn the tables out there." Pence said.
"I'm not so sure." Kyoya said.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at Kyoya.
"He understands the situation perfectly. He is toying with Simba on purpous. Tormenting him in front of all these people." Kyoya said.
"What a clown that guy is!" Benkei said.
-ON STAGE-
Poison Serpent repeatedly attacked Simba. Reji laughed. "Good, that's good! Tear him appart! Venom Bite, Serpent!" Serpent attacked Simba over and over and over again.
-IN THE STANDS-
"What a nasty peace of work he is!" Minette said.
-ON STAGE-
"Don't just stand there! Hurry up and attack me, why don't ya! Do it! It's boring when you don't fight back!" Reji said. Leo glaired at him. "Not enough! It's still not enough to ease the trumendous pain in my heart. Now you will come to know the true terror of Poison Serpent, so get ready! Go now, Poison Serpent!" Serpent turned into it's snake form and Simba turned into it's Lion Cub form. the two beast collided with each other and Serpent bit Simba.
"SIMBA!" Leo said. Serpent now had itself rapped around Simba.
-IN THE STANDS-
"AH!" Gingka was shocked.
-ON STAGE-
Reji laughed. "Squerm! Yes, squerm! Feel your own powerlessness!"
"Don't count me out! Break free, Simba!" Leo said. Simba broke free of Serpent's hold.
"You fool! This is what i've been waiting for." Reji said.
"Now what?" Leo gasped.
-IN THE STANDS-
"I remember this. It's just like the time Leo defeated Reji for sure." Pence said. He remembered when Leo defeated Reji back in San McGale.
-ON STAGE-
"I'm gonna beat you with the same trick you used on me! Dark Move! Venom Strike!" Reji said. Serpent turned into it's snake form and charged forward and hit Simba, causing a huge bright explosion! "Like that?" When the dust cleared, Simba and Serpent were seen charging at each other.
"Yes, Simba!" Leo said.
"He withstood it! Simba withstood Serpent's special move! Oh my goodness!" D J said sheding tears.
-IN THE STANDS-
"Whew, that was a close one." Pence said.
"It looks like the power of a Dark Move is greatly reduced as well when the opponent slips on the ice." Christopher said.
-ON STAGE-
"Bummer! But that still must've delivered a lot of damage." Reji said.
"Hey, you!" Leo said.
"Huh?" Reji said.
"Now i'm really mad, pal! Bring it on, i'll crush you! Go now, Simba!" Leo said. Simba sped forward.
-IN THE STANDS-
"Huh?" Kyoya said. He had seen this move before. It was when he and Leo had that battle together in the world chapionships.
-FLASHBACK-
"Come on! I'll smash you! Go hard, Simba!" Leo said.
-END OF FLASHBACK-
"Oh no! It's his bad habit!" Kyoya said.
"Bad habit?" Pence said.
"It's probably because Leo has a stamina type bey just like Kyoya. But when he get's angry, he tries to force an end to the battle with brute strength." Amber said.
"It's true. He did it with me." Kyoya said. He remembered what happened at the world championships he and Leo competed in.
-FLASHBACK-
"Bring it on, i'll crush you! Go, Simba!" Leo said. Simba charged forward at Leone. "It ends right here, Kyoya!"
"Do it! Dodge it, Leone!" Kyoya said. Leone narrowly dodged Simba's attack and charged after it from behind.
"NO WAY!" Leo said.
"You exposed your back, Leo! Go now! Leone, Lion Gale Force Wall!" Kyoya said. A tornado formed around Leone and it charged forward at Simba. The Tornado collided with Simba, defeating it.
"The winner is Kyoya Tategami! He wins in an astonishing upsent!" D J said as the crowd cheered.
Leone returned to Kyoya's hand.
"No way!" Leo said.
-END O FLASHBACK-
"If he hadn't put on such a reckless show of strength, he probably would've won that battle." Kyoya said.
"He posesses real power if he can only control his temper." Amber said.
"Huh?" They all focused on the battle.
-ON STAGE-
"Knock 'em right now, Simba!" Leo said. Simba bounced off the ice stadium wall.
"Simba begins to counter with a jumping attack!" D J said. Simba knocked Serpent out of the way. Simba bounced off the stadium again and attacked Serpent.
"It delivers more jumping attacks!" D J said.
-IN THE STANDS-
"He really is going all out, huh?" Sierra said.
"That kind of reckless fighting just won't work! Calm down, Leo." Kyoya said.
-ON STAGE-
"Hm! RAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Leo said. Simba charged back down and hit Serpent.
-IN THE STANDS-
Gingka noticed something.
"This is not good, Leo!" Kyoya said.
"You have to relax out there!" Benkei said.
"No, wait! Check out what he's doing now." Gingka said.
"Huh?" Benkei said.
"With a normal attack, Simba slips on the ice and loses power . But..." Gingka said.
"Hey." Pence said.
"Leo's plenty relaxed now." Gingka said.
-ON STAGE-
"Ha. I told you guys. Next time i'm absolutely gonna beat you. Because i'm not the same person i was before." Leo said. Simba sent Serpent flying.
"Jumping attacks, is it? But there's no point in battling in the ice stadium if you do that!" Reji said.
"This battle is getting messy." Ryuga said.
"Reji understands, doesn't he? What will happen if he loses." Astranema said.
"Eek! I do! Poison Serpent, go!" Reji said. Serpent launched itself in the air.
"Look out! Serpent has taken this battle off of the ground!" D J said. Serpent and Simba collided with each other in mid air. "The beys clash head on in mid air.
"Eeeek!" Reji said. Serpent landed back in ice stadium.
"The mid air clash is easily won by Simba! It looks like challenging a stamina type in mid air was a bad idea!" D J said.
"Serpent!" Reji said.
"Hey now, what's the matter, snake boy?" Leo asked. Serpent bounced around the ice stadium.
"Eeek! My poor Serpent!" Reji said.
"Time to end this! Special Move!" Leo said. Simba bounced off the ice stadium and began to glow. It turned into it's Lion Cub form. "Simba! Roar Of The Prince!" Simba charged down into the ice stadium and collided with Poison Serpent.
"AAAAAAAAAAAH!" Reji screamed.
"Simba's special move delivers a direct hit to Poison Serpent!" D J said.
-IN THE STANDS-
"Yes! That's done it!" Pence said.
"I'm not so sure." Nene said.
-ON STAGE-
"Now way! It cannot end this way today!" Ryuga said.
Poison Serpent landed back in the ice stadium, bearly spinning. "Serpent, no!" Reji said.
"Wait up! This thing is not over yet! Serpent took quite a bit of damage, but it still has not stopped moving as of yet!" D J said.
"But why? Even if the ice takes away some of the power, being hit with that many jumping attacks should have ended it." Leo then gasped. He noticed that there was water in ice stadium. "Water?" He said. "The ice in the stadium is melting. That's why the force of my special move decreaced." He thought. "In that case, i'll just shove 'em out of the stadium right now!"
"Bad move." Astranema said.
-IN THE STANDS-
Amber gasped when she noticed that the ice stadium was beginning to crack. "Oh no! No good! Stop it, Leo!"
-ON STAGE-
"With this i win it!" Leo said. Simba charged forward, but was stopped by some of the ice that was sticking up. "No way!"
"Simba is stuck in a crack in the ice!" D J said.
"Huh? He's stuck?" Reji said.
"Move now! Get out of there, Simba!" Leo said.
"I'm saved. This'll work! Poison Serpent! Dark Move! Venom Strike!" Reji said. Serpent bounced around the ice stadium until it made a hole in the icee wall of the stadium, causing the whole ice stadium to colaps on Simba. This caused an icee for to appear.
"Whoa! The stadium has been destroyed!" D J said.
"SIMBA!" Leo shouted.
"Who is left standing?" D J asked. Once the icee fog cleared, Simba was seen lying in the now ruined ice stadium, no longer spinning. "Simba lies completely motionless in the ice!" Leo was shocked. Poison Serpent could be see still spinning in the now destroyed ice stadium. "It's Poison Serpent! Serpent is still moving! Winner is Dark Nebula's Reji!"
-IN THE STANDS-
"What?" Gingka said.
"Huh?" Kenta added.
"That just can't be?" Madoka said. The whole gang was stunned by Leo's loss.
-ON STAGE-
"I won it! I won it! HAHAHA! I'm the winner!" Reji said.
Leo knelt down on one knee. The 10 year old boy couldn't believe he lost to Reji. "Unbelieveable!"
"Hm. Check mate." Ryuga said.
-IN THE STANDS-
Killua gasped when he saw the smile on Ryuga's face.
-WITH PEGASUS-
Pegasus stood up and closed his eye.
-IN THE STANDS-
"No way. Leo lost out there." Pence said.
"Leo." Gingka said.
"I think that they even planned for the ice to break appart as a back up plan to ensure a win." Killua said. Gingka and the others looked at him. "Well, well." He siad. "It seems to me that Simba did not lose to Poison Serpent. It lost to the ice stadium." Killua thought.
"Rrrrrrrr!" Gingka said.
"So Killua." Tommy said.
-ON STAGE-
Leo banged his fist on the floor. "No way! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
"The match point goes to the Dark Nebula! Gingka and his friends cannot aford to lose again!" D J said.
