CHAPTER 5 - When Opposites Meet
"How long are you going to keep this up?"
Kai asked rather annoyed at Tyson and Max who were stilling training at the Stadium in the basement of Max's fathers hobby shop. Both Tyson and Max challenged each other countless times in the past few hours and their training seemed to go well, but Kai was getting annoyed at it.
"Relax Kai, You may want to do some training yourself."
Tyson replied, smiling. He wasn't smiling long when Max gave out a victory cry and when Tyson turned back, his Dragoon top flew right at him and struck him dead center in the forehead. He gave an 'oof' sound before falling onto his back like a timbering tree. Both Max and Kenny laughed at Tyson's misfortune, and Dizzi would've done the same if she saw what happened. Kai however, shook his head in dismay, embarrassed to be with these people.
"Where did Ray run off to?"
Kenny finally asked when he noticed one member of their team missing
"I'm not sure. Didn't he say he had business in town?"
Max answered.
"Anyway I wouldn't worry about him. He'll be back."
Max added and returned to his training with Tyson.
At the mean time, Ray coolly walked down the street, completely unaware of what was happening around him. He really didn't care unless it concerned him. In a way, he was a lot like Kai when Tyson first met him, but he had grown a partnership with his fellow BladeBreakers. Yet, almost on reflex, he stopped in his path and looked across the street. He felt a strange aura coming from the woman he saw walking by. She had long red hair tied in a high ponytail, and her face was nearly a pale complexion, one that could snatch any man she desired. But it wasn't how she looked that drew Ray's attention to her, but the fiery vibe she gave off that he could feel some thirty to forty feet away.
He was taken by surprise when she looked back at him, as though knowing he was there the whole time. She gave him a simple smile and continued on. That's when Ray finally recognized her. She was that Amber he saw on Kenny's laptop when they were going over the database of the tournament participants. Finally seeing her in person snapped something in Ray's mind. He just had to see her battle so he could evaluate how powerful and dangerous she would be come the tournament. When the light turned green, he quickly rushed across the street and followed Amber's path.
He wonders as he passes a store and enters an alleyway. Seeing nothing he went to the other side to find the rive nearby. And he found her leaning over the side of the bridge, looking at her own reflection in the waters below. She appeared almost peaceful, beautiful. Ray lost his train of thought as he near her like a mesmerized servant.
"Looking for me?"
She asked him without looking up when he came within ten feet of her.
"Here I am Ray."
"You know me?"
"Of course. I saw you in the Semi-finals against Tyson. Your Tiger Claw attack was somewhat impressive."
"Only 'somewhat'? Is that an insult?"
"Only a fact."
Finally she turned to him and stood. Though she was older, she was taller than Ray by only a mere foot. She reached into her pants pocket and uncovered her Zinrai Beyblade
"Is this what you want?"
She asked, nearly tempting an answer from him as she motions for a battle. She flipped her Beyblade like a coin into the air. It spun a few times then landed in her palm.
"Forget it kid. I'm way out of your league."
"Like that really matters to me."
He pulled out his own Driger Beyblade and held it ready.
"If you're as though as your stats says, you won't mind one battle."
Amber chucked in her throat, almost amused.
"I thought you were smarter than that Ray. But ok, I'll battle you. And you see how true my skills are."
They stood beside a Beystadium on the bank of the river. Ray on one side, and Amber on the other. Both of them were smiling confidently.
"It's your finally chance to leave before you get humiliated."
Amber warned, but Ray did not heed.
"I won't be leaving until after I win."
"Whatever."
Holding their launchers and Beyblades ready, they counted down in unison.
"Three... Two... One... LET IT RIP!"
And the tops were unleashed. Rays gray Driger top spun around the stadium at speeds few have seen, but Amber knew it well. The black Zinrai spun in a straight path and finally struck Driger on the far side of the stadium, the clash almost went slow motion as Driger was tossed up. Amber could taste victory in one hit. But Ray smiled back.
"Not so fast Amber. TIGER CLAW ATTACK!"
His Beyblade began to sine as it fell from the air, ready to attack. Should the attack succeed, Ray may have claimed victory. But the Driger didn't get the chance to complete its attack.
"This match is mine Ray. Zinrai. Special technique!"
Zinrai spun faster in one place. Friction was building under it, and as Driger was directly above it, Zinrai unleashed a devastating attack. A pillar of fire spewed out from the stadium and engulfed Drigers completely. Ray gasped in shock as his Beyblade fell from the fire to land on the ground and shatter. The flames died out as though they weren't even there.
W...W...What... was... that?"
Ray stutters in complete horror. Amber picked up Zinrai before it stopped spinning.
"I call that the Pillar of Inferno. Quite effective against jumping attacks."
She turned to see Ray as his spirit shatters like his Beyblade.
"I warned you. But you didn't listen kid. Go home and pray you don't need to face me again."
Amber would've laughed out load as she walked away, but Ray was a strong competitor and it would be rude of her to ruin him any further than she has already.
TO BE CONTINUED
------------------
Well? Did you like it or hate it? I'm sorry it was kinda short, but I liked how it ended there. More to come later. Perhaps Ray will get his revenge... We'll see...
Until Next Time ^_^
