Lars VS Olaf:
"Blaze forth! Gallea's Illusion Attack"
AUTHOR'S NOTES: GOMEN for taking a LONG time to UPLOAD~~~!!! Lost internet prepaid credits...ahem. Anyway, it's 2nd battle for the Iceland Team. Would Takao and his friends be able to make it just in time for Freyja's match? Somebody else has something else in mind for the BBA Team. Who and what could it be? And it wasn't what Kai expected...not in a million years. Read on and find out! ^o^
Maverick raises her hands in the air.
"ALRIGHT~~~!!! Team Iceland wins that battle handily with the help of their very able and very handsome team captain, KLAUS INGREN~~~!!! Even though these 2 teams are somewhere within the vicinity of the Arctic regions, the Bey battles are just getting hotter and HOTTER~~~!!! Let's all give a round of applause to both teams for jobs well DONE~~~!!!"
The audience cheered very loudly and wildly.
"That was great, Klaus!" Freyja said, coming up to meet the young man coming down from the stage.
"Thanks," Klaus replied. "It was nothing. But they're really living up to their name as the 'Butchers of the Arctic'...I wouldn't want to meet them in a dark alley, even if you paid my weight in gold."
"Even worse than the Chinese Team...?" Freyja asked.
"I guess so." Klaus nodded over to the young man seated in the shadows of the "dugout" (^^;;). "Lars, be careful. They're ruthless."
"No problem." The young man stands up and comes into the light. "Just leave it to Gallea and me."
"And now, would the next Bladers please step FORWARD~~~!!!" Maverick yells.
Yuri was just quiet as his sister cheered her teammate onto the arena. ***Even worse than the Chinese Team...I wouldn't say that. The Black Tigers are the fiercest Bladers I have ever encountered in my entire life. It's really hard not to notice that team with that kind of power...***
"For Team Iceland...we have Lars Eckart~~~!!!"
Lars Eckart stood there, chewing on some gum. He was tall and lanky, with dark brown hair cut Trunks style and gentle ice silver eyes. He was wearing an oversized white t-shirt with a Mr. Clean Wipe-Ups logo up front over a dark red long sleeved shirt, a pair of baggy 6 pocket dark brown corduroy pants, a pair of bright red Chuck Taylors, and a white belt around his waist. He was wearing several bracelets on his right wrist, and had a silver chain about his pants. A pair of glasses was perched on top of his nose. He had his hands on the back pockets of his pants, surveying his opponent intently.
"And for Team Finland, we have Olaf Roentgen~~~!!!"
The crowd started cheering wildly. Olaf Roentgen glared right back at Lars, his violet eyes flashing.
"Are you READY~~~~?!" Maverick swipes her arms in the air. "Alright, Bladers at the shooting POINTS~~~!!!"
Lars and Olaf got in position.
"3...2...1...GOOOO...SSSHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTT~~~~!!!"
Olaf releases his dark green Bey onto the stadium. "Go, EONGARD~~~!!!"
"..." Lars shoots his white Bey onto the stadium.
"Alright, both Eongard and Gallea have entered the stadium! Who would win, who would lose?! It's too early to tell, as both Beys enter the stadium with nothing but total annihilation of their opponents by the way they are attacking each OTHER~~~!!!"
Eongard and Gallea hit each other again and again as they circled the Bey Stadium like mini dervishes, sparks flying off every time they hit. The crowd gasped and cheered at the right places, and the 2 Beys look like they were also intent in ripping the entire stadium apart.
Eongard flies off in a graceful arc as Gallea hit it. Maverick blinked, then her orange eyes became wide. "Oh NO~~~!!! Eongard flies off...is the Bey going to land outside the STADIUM~~~?!"
"Heh. Not on your life, 4-eyes." Olaf swipes his arm. "EONGARD~~~!!! BLAZE SHOOT~~~!!! GO~~~!!!"
A strange green flame surrounded Eongard as it shoots toward Gallea after being thrown off. It hits the white Bey squarely, and the entire stadium was choked with billowing clouds of dust and debris.
"~~~!!!" Maverick shook her head. "That was one powerful MOVE~~~!!! Folks, what you just saw was Eongard's fatal Blaze Shoot, known to annihilate any Bey which unfortunately gets in its way...those flames are hot enough to melt them into OBLIVION~~~!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA~~~~!!!" Olaf was laughing. "How about that, 4-eyes? What do you say NOW?!"
"Pathetic." Lars frowned. "Is that ALL you can DO?!"
"WHAT~~~?!" Olaf was enraged. "How could you even~~~"
There was a white flash of light, and soon Eongard's thrown off again out of the stadium.
"~~~?! It can't BE~~~"
"Gallea, GO~~~!!!" Lars swipes his arm. "OMNIFLASH~~~!!!"
"Not if I can help it...EONGARD~~~!!! DEATH BUSTER~~~!!!" Olaf yells.
A deep green shaft of light appears from Eongard's central bit, revealing a -Holy Beast- that was really very frightening indeed: a Grim. A white light shoots up from Gallea's own central bit to reveal a -Holy Beast- that looked like a Ninetails.
The entire stadium became very black as Eongard's Grim unleashed a terrible howl that chilled to the bone, whomever hears it. Several dark green spears of light came up and rained down on Gallea, intent on crushing him to oblivion. The white -Holy Beast- just looked up, calmly observing the horror that was to rain down upon him. There was a brilliant white flash of light, and~~~
"Holy COW is this for REAL~~~?!" Maverick was gripping the handrails very tightly, her eyes very wide and blinking.
It seemed as if the -Holy Beast- has split itself into many separate entities and rushed towards its enemy -Holy Beast- amidst many swirling lights of blue and silver and cream.
The 2 met halfway. All of Team Iceland, Team Finland, the audience, Maverick, and 2 opposing Bladers shielded their faces with their arms as a brilliant, powerful blast of light filled the entire stadium, and they all knew no more.
Eongard gets thrown out, and landed quite still upon Olaf's feet. Gallea was still spinning right in the middle of the Bey Stadium, Lars just smiling faintly. Maverick blinks, then swipes her arm in the air.
"Eongard, down and OUT~~~!!! The winner is Lars for the ICELAND TEAM~~~!!!"
The crowd cheered very loudly.
"YYYYYAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY~~~~!!!"
Lars shook his head and walked away. "See you in a million years or so, loser."
"Alright, 2 to none, Team Iceland VS Team Finland~~~!!! Who would emerge victorious?!" Maverick nodded, and swipes her arms in the air. "Next Bladers, please step FORWARD~~~!!!"
"Come on, come on, come on," Takao muttered, as he started tapping his foot impatiently on the floor of the airconditioned shuttle bus.
"I wonder what's going on," Max said, blinking. "We've been stuck here for almost 10 minutes..."
"I guess they're all excited to get to the respective Bey Stadiums to cheer on their favorite teams," Professor remarked. "We've passed a dozen convoys waving their respective favorite team pennants the last centimeters we've crawled forward."
"GAAAAHHH~~~!!! This can't be HAPPENING~~~!!! I don't want to miss that match for the whole WORLD~~~!!!" SD Takao shrieks, pulling at his hair in panic.
Tsukiyo was looking at him, her eyes little slits. "Why the sudden change in attitude, Kinogu, you used to hate girls as if they're the scourge of this PLANET."
"Little Miss Iceland's just totally different. Takao was literally floating on air when we got back from the ball, remember?" SD Max was grinning happily. "Takao Kinogu has become a man fallen so DESPERATELY in LOVE."
SD Tsukiyo nodded knowingly. "Oh, so THAT'S what's made all the eau de cologne in that men's section DISAPPEAR."
"That's not TRUE~~~!!!"
"Then why the hell are you blushing, KINOGU?!" SD Tsukiyo's eyes became huge and sparkly. "KIYAA~~~!!! My best friend, totally, truly, MADLY in LOVE~~~!!! WOW~~~!!!"
"Cut it OUT~~~!!!" SD Takao was as red as a tomato.
Max was laughing. Asaya blinked, and Llewelyn got up from the seat behind her and leaned forward so that he was just looking over Asaya's seat. "Hey squirt, I heard you outdid yourself this time..."
"Oh, it was nothing! Besides, Professor helped me a lot on the calculations," Asaya replied, as she looked up at him. "And...hey! Where are the rest of them?"
"Scouting out the different teams in each stadium," Llewelyn answered. "Alphonse was about to drag Giovanni out in his pajamas again; says he's been missing doing that kind of thing ever since he learned that Giovanni could sleep through EVERYTHING like a log."
"Yes, and roll him AROUND like a LOG." Asaya shook her head. "Giovanni still couldn't exactly fathom why he'd end up on the foot of the stairs whenever he wakes up. And Kieran, Sigurd, and Pierre would be laughing their heads off until they roll around on the floor themselves, almost up to the point they asphyxiate."
"But Asaya, nobody could EVER defeat the wonders of a tequila-Turkey," Lee said solemnly. "Llewelyn here slept for almost 2 weeks and Dr. Leimrey was about to give out invitations for his funeral over at Pike's End."
"I was young and INNOCENT~~~!!!" Llewelyn said, turning SD and pointing an accusing finger at the still unperturbed Lee. "And you were the one who goaded me to do IT~~~!!!"
"And you fell for it! Damn, I thought you could smell that concoction I made from a mile AWAY," Lee answered.
Asaya laughed as the 2 of them started bickering behind her, turning murderously SD, holding her hand lightly over her mouth. Lei bit his lip, watching them, as soon as SD Lee started pulling SD Llewelyn's face in a series of disfigurations of yogic proportions.
***...she really likes their company, even if they're a little too rambunctious. I wonder...how could I get her to react like that? She's always been so quiet these past few days and~~~***
"Lei, are you OK?" Asaya asked him suddenly, her clearest amethyst eyes wide and blinking. Lei blinked, then turned chibi neko as he shook his head violently from side to side.
"Errh...I'm...perfectly...FINE~~~!!!" SD chibi neko Lei was blushing very furiously, making him suddenly wish that the floor beneath him would open up and swallow him whole. "I..."
"Yes, Lei?" SD Asaya asked, blinking.
SD chibi neko Lei became even redder. SD Asaya cocked her head to one side. "???"
"Um~~~" SD chibi neko Lei held out his Gran Driger. "I...well...that fight a while ago...uh..."
"It looks perfectly fine to me..."
"Errh..."
"Oh!" Asaya fished something out of her soft denim skirt pocket, then handed it to Lei. "In all the confusion, I forgot to give you this. I hope you like it..."
"What...is it?"
"A present for Gran Driger. I'm just returning it to you...it's been a long time ever since that was used. I mean..." Asaya gestured to SD Lee, who by now was being made into Play Doh putty by a manically laughing SD Llewelyn. "Lee left it under Llewelyn's care a long time ago, when he...left. He was meaning to give it back to you...Lee, I mean. Uh...he's been talking about a missing 'younger brother' he left behind, and that was all that was left of your...father."
"..." Lei took it and peered down at it. It was a small octagonal parcel, wrapped in cloth, not bigger than the palm of his hand.
"Take good care of it," Asaya told him. "From what I've heard, that was what kept you safe all those years Lee had been looking for you. And...hee...that was what brought you 2 back together again. Now you won't be alone anymore..."
"..." Lei blinked, then looked up at Asaya, smiling faintly. "Thanks. Thanks for bringing it back to me..."
"No problem!" Asaya nodded. "I'm sure Gran Driger would be really glad to see 'them' again."
"?" SD Lei blinked.
Asaya just smiled at him, her eyes closed happily. Lei just blushed and said no more.
"..." Kai, who was seated way back, looked out of the window and watched the snail pace of traffic as it went by. He could still hear Takao's indignant yells, Max's boisterous and giddy laughter, Professor's mild rebukes, Tsukiyo's cheers, Lee's roars and Llewelyn's indignant squawks of protest in the background as he surveyed the nondescript vehicles on his side of the shuttle bus.
Kai blinked, then his heart went cold.
A young man was standing close to a tree on the other side of the busy, jampacked street, who looked up as Kai gazed his way. He held something bound in cloth in his hand, and he was holding a book. He waved at Kai cheerfully, his slanted red brown eyes glinting in the morning sun.
Kai's eyes went wide.
That...
MAN...
***Pathetic...I should've let you DIE.***
Kai shook his head, then stood up and leaned forward the window to get a better look at him. But he was gone.
***It...it can't BE...***
"Oh good, the traffic's CLEARED!" Max was grinning. "Yeah, we could still get there yet!"
"And Takao would be having a cute little DATE~~~!!!" Tsukiyo said, laughing manically.
"Oh, SHUT UP~~~!!!"
Kai tried looking around for him, but he was totally, completely gone.
He sat back down again, trying to calm himself.
He wished it was just a hallucination.
He hoped to God that it was just a hallucination.
He really wished it WAS.
