WITCH BLADERS

CHAPTER TEN: TRAINING BEGINS

Thorn, Dusk, Luna and Dune stood on a balcony and saw the sun rise.

Come on we've got work to do. Thorn said turning away

By the time the Bladebreakers came down for breakfast Merlin and the girls were already eating.

When it was over Merlin led them outside to a lake.

You are going to be battling on three types of terrain; first we will train on water. Merlin said

But we can't walk on water, who do you think we are? Tyson said

You know a little patience goes a long way. Dune said

So where's the dish? Ray asked

There. Said Luna pointing to a glass dish in the middle of the lake.

Okay who's battling first? Merlin asked

I will. Said Dune

Go for it Dune we're behind you on this. Dusk said

This is your element Dune show them what happens when you abuse the power of water. Thorn said encouragingly.

Good luck Dune we're with you. Luna said

Dune walked to the dish.

Which one of you boys wants to take on Dune? Merlin asked the Bladebreakers.

I will. Said Tyson

This should be interesting. Kenny said

Ready to loose. Tyson said

We'll see shall we? Dune replied smirking

Tyson you idiot you have no idea what your up against. Luna mumbled

3,2,1 Let it rip. Shouted Max

You got it. Said Tyson

With pleasure Dune grinned

Okay Dragoon Phantom Hurricane. Tyson yelled

You're attacking to early Tyson. Dune said

Rinnen Tsunami attack. She commanded a horse appeared.

What the heck is that thing? Max asked worriedly

That is called a Kelpie. Kai answered gazing at magnificent creature.

I've never seen anything like it; we're in serious trouble. Kai thought

If you can take down the demolition boys you can take down the competitors at the Beymasters Tournament. Came Thorn's voice in his head.

What makes you so sure? Kai thought

Merlin is training you hard now so that when you do compete it will be a walk in the park. She replied

Anyway humans go up against faeries and elves, we have to go up against much stronger things. She added

Keep going Dragoon. Tyson yelled

Rinnen enough playing take him out. She commanded

Her blue blade sent Tyson's blade hurling out of the dish and landing at Merlin's feet.

She was right, she did beat me, I've never seen anything so powerful, Robert or any of the Demolition Boys don't come even close. Tyson thought

Who would like to go next? Merlin asked

I would. Kai replied

I will. Thorn replied

3,2,1 Let it rip. Max shouted

Both competitors released their blades and circled each other.

Take it down Dranzer. He shouted

Oren blue flame attack. She yelled then a gigantic and beautiful sabre tooth tiger appeared.

Look at that thing. Kenny shrieked

Relax its just Oren that's her bit-beast, the most powerful thing on the planet, and our bit-beasts have only half of the power that thing possesses, that's why we don't do normal competitions. Dune explained

Dranzer fire arrow. Kai yelled

Oren firestorm. She yelled

Merlin was grinning at them.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think you liked him. Came Merlin's voice in his head.

You know I'm not the one to back down. She thought

I would say you're not even giving it your all like you use to. Kai said to her

Do you really want to see your blade lying at your feet in tiny pieces? She asked

Okay Oren flame wrap attack. She commanded

Kai's blade immediately was engulfed in flames.

Argh! He exclaimed as his blade went shooting by into the lake.

Dranzer!! he yelled worriedly

Thorn walked up to Kai who was on his knees looking into the lake.

Here. She said putting Dranzer at his feet good as new.

For three days the competitors worked and trained hard, and fineally the dreaded day came.
