Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade. I kinda wish I did though.
The bey-stadium was very crowded the day the final match took place. The Blade Breakers--amazingly including Kai this time-- came a little late and had a hard time finding seats. Fortunately some girls recognized the world champions and gleefully gave them their seats. Mr. Dickinson was at also there, sitting in the row in front of the Blade Breakers.
"I believe you will find your new team mate today, boys." He smiled at them amiably.
The crowd cheered as the two finalists walked into the stadium. The hugely magnified voice of the announcer boomed overhead, "Everyone, welcome our hometown bladers in this regional championship final!"
The crowed cheered even louder. The voice boomed again, "Here we have Alex Bomback, looking smug as usual. And he has a reason to be, his fiery wolf bit-beast is world class!"
He paused a while for the crowd to scream then continued, "And on the other side we have a new upstart, Shea Willington! Doesn't she look smokin' hot today! Her new acquired bit-beast is a bit mysterious, but we will see her in action today!"
The crowd cheered again. Mr. Dickinson turned and asked quietly, "Boys, do you have a preference here?"
Max, Tyson and Kenny grinned and said at the same time, "Definitely Shea!"
Kai rolled his eyes, "Is it because she is a pretty girl?"
Kenny pushed up his glasses, "Actually, Kai, she is very good. She beat Tyson once, before she even got her bit-beast!"
Kai narrowed his eyes, "Something tells me Tyson is slacking off."
Tyson shouted indignantly, "Am not!"
Before Kai could say more, Ray put his hand up with a faint smile on his lips, "All right, you two! Why don't we just watch the match?"
They all fell silent, for down below in the dish the mid-night black and the fire red blades were smashing into each other with a mad force.
The boy Alex smirked and shouted, "Enough playing. Come out now, Lupus. Use your wild fire attack!"
The fiery spirit burst out the blade like a volcano erupting, charging with full force.
Shea shouted, "Descant, sing the song of shadows!"
Her small black blade glowed silver. An eerie song slowly flowed before the bit-beast was seen. Then finally the great white bird emerged, though it was barely visible among the shooting shadows. The stadium darkened.
Alex shouted, "Lupus, slash through the shadows!"
The flaming wolf charged and slashed, though the shadows were quick and overwhelming. It howled as it tumbled about madly, but finally it faded into the darkness, and the red blade stopped spinning."
"The first round goes to Shea!" The announcer shouted,
Tyson made a face towards Kai's direction, "What do you think mow, Mr. Sourpuss? Is that pretty little girl up to your expectation?"
Kai said nothing.
The second round began again. Alex quickly called up his bit-beast. The beast charged full force into the dark blade. It bounced and hit the wall of the dish.
Shea muttered something under her breath, very quiet that no other heard her. An eerie song began again, and darkness flowed out of her blade.
Alex looked confident, "The same trick will not work twice, Shea Willington. Lupus is not afraid of dark."
Shea smirked, "And who said I was pulling the same trick? Take a closer look."
The boy looked down and gasped in surprise. Indeed there were no shadows, streams of dark, glimmering water were flowing out of nowhere, and they were quickly filling up the dish. His wolf bit-beast is dodging the water streams madly.
Shea shouted, "Now, Descant! Let's bring up a storm!"
The great white bird soared from the blade and burst in song in a clear human voice.
"O zahme Kunst
der Zauberin,
die nur Balsamtränke noch braut!
Erwache mir wieder,
kühne Gewalt;
herauf aus dem Busen,
wo du dich bargst!
Hört meinen Willen,
zagende Winde!
Heran zu Kampf
und Wettergetös'!
Zu tobender Stürme
wütendem Wirbel!
Treibt aus dem Schlaf
dies träumende Meer,
weckt aus dem Grund
seine grollende Gier!
Zeigt ihm die Beute,
die ich ihm biete!
Zerschlag es dies trotzige Schiff,
des zerschellten Trümmer verschling's!
Und was auf ihm lebt,
den wehenden Atem,
den lass' ich euch Winden zum Lohn!" *
The voice was beautiful, though the song was dark and furious. The black water in the dish stirred and shifted. Air whistled and howled. The water rose in great columns, a ferocious wind accompanied them. The stadium seemed to darken, and the audiences forgot to cheer. The raging storm soon swallowed the wolf beast, and the red blade flew out of the dish.
Again the announcer seemed to be at a loss for words, "Wow! The second round goes to Shea, and she is our new champion!"
He paused as Mr. Dickinson drew near and whispered some words to him, then he straightened and shouted again, "And she is now a new member of the world champion team--- the Blade Breakers!"
The audiences awoke from their trance and cheered so loud one might fear the roof is going to collapse. Tyson gave Kai an I-told-you-so smirk, while Kenny is typing furiously on his laptop.
Max stood up, "What are we waiting for? Let's go congratulate her!"
Down below Shea was talking to Descant silently in her head, she herself could barely believe the amount of power her bit-beast showed.
"That was great! I can't believe you managed to memorize the whole song in one day!"
"Thank you, Shea." The songbird replied humbly.
The raven-haired girl grinned, "And that was beautiful, Descant. I imagine Germaine Lubin would sound exactly like that!"
"Thanks, but who is Germaine Lubin?" Asked the bit-beast.
"About the most famous Wagnerian soprano in the world!" Shea replied cheerfully.
The Blade Breakers had come down from the watch stand. Now they stood before Shea, all smiling, of course, with the exception of Kai.
"Great battle, Shea! That was one display of power." Remarked Ray.
"Thanks, guys." Shea replied.
Tyson laughed and shouted, "Hey Kai, now we have got a girl on our team, perhaps you will lighten up?"
Kai said nothing and threw him an annoyed glance. He said rather indifferently, " I couldn't care less. If you are going to party, leave me out of it." With that he turned and walked away.
Shea raised an elegant eyebrow, "I guess I should take that as a 'no'?"
Tyson waved a hand, "Don't sweat it, he is always like that. But I will say that for him: Welcome to the team!"
Max laughed and shouted, "Welcome to the Blade Breakers!"
A/N: That little piece of Germen poetry I used up there is from Tristan and Isolde by Richard Wagner. It's a song Isolde used to summon a storm. Here is the English translation.
O feeble art
of the sorceress,
still cooking up curative potions!
Be stirred in me once again,
bold power;
rise up from my breast
where you have lain concealed!
Give ear to my will,
half-hearted winds!
Off to battle
and turbulent elements!
To the furious vortex
of raging tempests!
Shake from her slumber
this somnolent sea,
awaken from her depths
her malevolent greed!
Show her the prize
that I have to offer!
Let her smash this insolent ship
and gorge on her shattered wreckage!
And whatever has life on her,
that faint breath
I leave as reward for you winds!
One more thing: I don't have enough reviews! Please, people, review and tell me what you think of this little story.
