"Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen! It is the semi-finals of the 10th Team Beyblade Australian Championships!
Four teams are left in this competition. They are the Siblingsblade, the Bladebreakers, the Irwinspin and the Vodablade!
First match will be Siblingsblade vs. Vodablade!"
Nick Jammers paused to wait for Kenny and his opponent to be at their positions before speaking once again.
"Ah . . . the first match is Kenny vs. Jenny! 3-2-1 let it rippp!"
Kenny launched his blade along with Jenny.
` Finish it fast or slow? ` telepathed Dizarri.
'What do you think?' Kenny telepathed back to his bitbeast. 'Of course it'll be a fast one!'
"Dizzi, use Airwave!"
"Not so easy to defeat me! Gemy, Eight legs Strike!" Jenny ordered her bitbeast, which was an octopus. Its eight legs surrounded Dizarri and squeezed it tightly. Even though the wind hit the octopus, it was not blown away as it was pulling Dizarri along with it.
Dizarri was then thrown onto the dish.
` Kenny, I cannot always be healing myself without your order. This healing strike is called 'Kiss'. ` She telepathed to Kenny again.
"Kiss!"
A golden glow emitted from her body, which healed her physical injuries.
Jenny exclaimed but soon attacked again, "Smoker!"
The octopus released a dark smoke at Dizarri, paralysing her.
She could not move as the opponent's blade hit Kenny's blade numerous times.
"Dizzi!" called Kenny anxiously.
* * * * * *
Kai was resting his chin on his hand at the seats. He was looking at Michelle who was closing her eyes. He knew that she was weak from battling Boris yesterday.
Meanwhile, Michelle was trying to relax her mind. She peeked and saw that Dizarri was helpless against Gemy.
But, she closed her eyes again. She trusted Dizarri to pull off a trick or two. And with Kenny's cleverness, Dizzi will win comfortably. All that's lacking is just . . . skill.
* * * * * *
'What should I do? Wait . . . if I can also paralyse . . . that's it!'
"Shinerlone!" Kenny commanded.
Dizarri's body radiated goldenly and Gemy was suddenly immobile too.
"Kiss!" Kenny shouted again.
Dizarri was mobile now.
"Sacred heaven!" That was the last attack for Gemy.
Dizarri did not camouflage herself, as it was unnecessary.
Immediately, Gemy was defeated.
* * * * * *
"Kenny wins this match! Next, it is Mica Kitz vs. Jana! 3-2-1 let it rippp!"
"Tri-star, Bit claw!" Mica is using the same tactic again!
"Yunshang! Cloudier defense! You can't beat me like that!" shouted Jana.
Tri-star could find its target, as the surrounding was foggy as a result of Yunshang's defense.
'I must avoid getting injured.' Thought Mica calmly.
"Escapoly!" She commanded confidently.
Tri-star disappeared into thin air. Mica's blade was spinning at great speed. As a result,
"Yunshang, Knock!" Jana shouted yet again.
Jana's yellow blade hit Mica's blade. But Mica did not lose her blade on the dish. Instead, Jana had hit just air.
"Where's Mica's blade?" Nick asked over the microphone.
"Behind you." Mica coldly announced and ordered, "Bit claw!"
"Mica Kitz wins this round too! We can all see that Mica has improved tremendously. Now, it's the last match! Michelle Kitz vs. John!"
* * * * * *
The spectators rose up and clapped loudly. They were all sure that Michelle would win.
But, there's something wrong. Michelle's lips were pale and she did not seemed well as she staggered to the dish.
* * * * * *
Mica and Kenny looked at Michelle worriedly. Michelle had told them she would most probably lose the match because she was very tired mentally and physically.
After all, Michelle is just a human.
Mica flashbacked to Michelle's words, "Kenny, Mica. I'm afraid that I will lose the match because I had been poisoned."
"What? Sister!" Mica cried as Michelle staggered to her feet.
"But, I'll make a appearance. So, please win your matches, okay? And don't tell Kai and others. This is to be secret between both of you and me. Deal?" Michelle said weakly.
Kenny and Mica had no choice but to agree. "Deal." * * * * * *
"3-2-1 let it rippp!" Nick announced, but he did not notice that something was wrong with Michelle.
Kai noticed. 'Is it because of yesterday?' Suddenly, he had a bad feeling.
Ray, Tyson and Max, who were beside their team leader, saw Kai's depressed expression.
They all thought unanimously, 'Something has happened yesterday.'
* * * * * *
John smirked as he saw Michelle's tired face. He is gonna taking this chance to defeat the best beyblader in the Australasian continent.
Both their blades were launched.
"Uman, Kindle!" A red, but ugly phoenix bolted out flames at Michelle's blade.
"Shieltor!" Swen was not even out yet but the transparent wall had appeared.
Strangely, Michelle looked better than before. In fact, she was smiling sweetly at John.
Her hand was raised.
"Swen! Ocean tremble!" Her bitbeast released a tsunami at her opponent.
John lost. And Michelle fainted.
* * * * * *
"Michelle wins this match but she has fainted! Anyway, the Siblingsblade advances into the second round!"
* * * * * *
Kai stood from his seat and dashed to the benches where Michelle was carried.
Her lips were now a dark purple. A shadow swished pass Kai and others at the bench and the person popped in a blue pill into her mouth.
"Vivian, how is she?" asked Kai anxiously.
"She need rest but did not want to. Now, she's gonna have side effects."
"What side effects?"
"Depends on her body condition. I'm afraid that her old illness will come back to haunt her."
"Do not worry. I will be fine." Spoke Michelle as she regained consciousness.
"Michelle, you need plenty of rest. Come on, you'll get a treatment from Swen. Isn't the match between the Bladebreakers and the Vodablade taking place?"
Vivian said as her eyes peered at the Bladebreakers.
"Kai, don't you worry about Michelle. We will take good care of her." Kenny whispered to Kai whom nodded in thankfulness.
* * * * * *
"What happened?" queried Tyson. Max nudged him hard in the ribs as Tyson groaned. He complained, "I'm just asking!"
"Nothing, just needs rest." Kai replied softly.
"Kai, why don't you go along with Michelle and the others? I, Max and Tyson, will play this round. I think you may not be in a good set of mind to battle." Grinned Ray as Kai sprinted out of the site for the competitors.
He turned to walk to the dish. He will win for his team leader. Because of his friendship with Kai.
* * * * * *
"Ladies and gentlemen, we may have a small pause but it's resuming now! We have Ray from the Bladebreakers vs. David of the Vodablade!
"Brock, Smash!" An elephant bitbeast appeared. It thrashed towards Ray's blade.
Seeing Brock at him, Ray ordered, "Driger! Tigerclaw!"
Brock was slashed and wounded deeply.
"Incredible! Ray wins the match easily. It's Max vs. Ryan! 3-2-1 let it rippp!"
* * * * * * *
As Ray walked towards the bench, Max had a high-five with Ray.
"Good job!" Max spoke.
"It's surprisingly easy." Ray frowned.
"A win is a win. Don't brood over it." Max was surprised but still spoke.
He stood beside the edge of the dish, looking at Ryan with humility.
"Best luck." Ryan said politely. Then, he shouted, "Doodle, Glider!"
A hawk emerged from the blade and its wings beat profusely, creating a strong powerful wind at Max's blade.
Max smiled slightly, "Draciel, arise!"
His turtle bitbeast used its shell to prevent the wind from having any effect on its flesh.
"Doodle, Sweep!" The hawk swept down its body at high speed and slammed its beak at Draciel's head.
"Draciel, get away from that bitbeast!"
` Master, are you confused as to what to do? If you are, I shall let you know of my attack. ` Telepathed a voice into Max's head.
'Who are you?' Max thought.
` I am Draciel, one of the three Elders of the Mystical Heyday. Together with Dragoon and Driger, we protect rules and regulations of the Beyblade Origins. I was punished for violating one of it. There's why you can only defend well. It's going to change now that you will know my attack. Call for the attack called 'Stratch', Master! `
"Okay, just try it. Stratch!"
A weird thing happened. Draciel's head grew long and intertwined itself round the hawk's beak.
"Draciel, attack!" Max called out loudly.
His bitbeast released the beak, but knocked the blade out of the dish.
* * * * * * *
"Max wins the second match! Next, it will be Tyson vs. Ruud! 3-2-1 let it rippp!"
Tyson saw Neon, his senior at the seats, looking at him with a wicked grin.
'She's here to be sarcastic! I'll show her.' He was shocked to see Vivian beside Neon. They were acting passionately.
'She's a lesbian?' Tyson frowned. Absentmindedly, he launched his blade.
"Dragoon! Storm attack! Defeat the other bitbeast with one shot!"
"Not so fast! Tanker, One stop!" Ruud's bitbeast, a shark, avoided the storm.
But Tyson shouted again, "Phantom Hurricane!"
Ruud was defeated.
* * * * * *
"The Bladebreakers enters the finals! Ladies and gentlemen, we are to be witnessing the finals of the Bladebreakers vs. the Siblingsblade! However, as result of Siblingsblade team leader's injuries, we will postpone the Finals to later time instead of another half an hour time!
Meanwhile, please stay in your seats as out performers will perform to compensate the time! Sit back and relax for the performance by the Sydney Orchestra band!" boomed Nick Jammers.
* * * * * *
The Bladebreakers left the site and rushed to the First Aid room in the stadium.
* * * * * *
Done! Wait for the Finals, will ya?
Bye-bye.
Signed Virginia.
