Disclaimer: I do not have any relations to Beyblade except the fact I
really like it.
The Blade Breakers sat in their change room and crowded around Kenny and his laptop. Apparently Kenny was assigning the line up for the coming game against the Majestics.
"The Majestics has always been a formidable opponent for us." Said Kenny, lecturing again, "They have great skills and their bit- beasts boasts considerable power. So we must give them all we have to defeat them. Ray will go first; then we play defensive, so Max will play the second round; and Shea, you will play the third round. Don't feel pressured; I put you in the third place so the stake won't be too high. If we can't gain victory in the first three matches, then we will send Tyson and Kai."
They all nodded to Kenny's plan.
Ray asked, "Chief, do you have any data on their new team member? We know the others, but their new member is still quite mysterious to us."
Dizzi beeped from the laptop, "I know their new member. His name is Edward, the son of Duke of Edinburgh. According to my files here, he is as good as Robert! And watch out for his whale bit-beast, it is one power house!"
Tyson said enthusiastically, "No sweat there, Dizzi. We will take him down along with his team!"
They all laughed and walked into the stadium. Outside the crowd was cheering on top of their lungs. Everyone seemed to be especially excited to see the returning world champions in action again.
AJ shouted, "Welcome! This is our first semi-final match in the world championships tournament. We have the returning champions the Blade Breakers against the European team the Majestics!"
The crowd cheered even louder as the two teams stepped into their view.
Brad commented, "Our teams look ready to blade! Then without further ado, let's introduce today's dish." The new dish slowly rose from the underground mechanism as Brad continued, "For all fans who like to see exotic dishes, this may be a bore. We have here a classic bowl, simple indeed, but perfect to show off the bladers' true power."
AJ shouted, "And let the game begin! First up from the Blade Breakers is Ray. He is a very balanced blader with top rate skills and power to boot. And you do not want to mess with his bit-beast Drigger! He will be facing Robert, the leader of the Majestics. Don't be fooled by Robert's gentleman demeanour, he is relentless in battles."
Ray and Robert stepped up to the dish. They both looked alert and concentrated.
Ray smiled, "May the best blader win."
Robert replied with a smile, "Of course, for the honour of the game."
AJ shouted again, "Bladers ready! Three, two, one, let it rip!"
With that two blades sailed into the red bowl and clashed head on.
"Gryfolyon! Attack!" Robert commanded. His light blue blade glowed as it raced towards Ray's pearl white blade.
"Drigger! Counter attack." Ray shouted.
The two blades crashed into each other with tremendous force. The two magnificent beasts rose from the blades: the golden griffon and the silver tiger. The two beasts roared and pounced on each other. Drigger, who was much more agile, was slowly gaining the upper hand.
"Yes!" Tyson shouted excitedly, "Ray is winning!"
The other Majestics did not sit idle. Enrique stood up and shouted, "Robert, take the air! The land is not your domain!"
Robert took the advice instantly, he commanded, "Gryfolyon, fly!"
The griffon wrestled away from the tiger's claws and spread its golden wings. It flew straight into the air and glowered at the tiger on the ground.
"Oh no! This is not good!" Kenny gasped.
"What is that?" Tyson asked worriedly.
"Drigger maybe can match Gryfolyon on the ground, but now it is in the air, Drigger can do nothing!" Kenny exclaimed.
In a quick attack Gryfolyon swept down and sent the tiger sprawling. The white blade hit the wall of the dish and bounced back, Drigger had retreated back into the blade. It seemed uncertain and was wobbling slightly.
Ray clenched his teeth, "Come on, Drigger. Don't give up!"
The silver-white blade righted itself and was spinning again.
"Not giving up yet, are you?" Robert smirked, "Of course, I won't expect anything less from a Blade Breaker. But you can hardly do anything against my bit-beast that is flying high in the air."
"That's what you think." Ray growled, "Your bit-beast may be in the air, you blade still stays on the ground most of the time. Drigger! "
The silver-white blade suddenly sped up and zoomed around the dish. There was a shivering lightning around the furious blade. Cracks appeared on the dish, deep and rigidly cut.
"What?" Robert exclaimed.
His blade suddenly landed in one of the cracks and jostled madly.
"Ray is making a comeback!" Max called out.
But it did not last long. Robert's blade leaped out of the crack and soon was spinning smoothly again.
"Those obstacles would not hinder me." Said Robert, "Let's not make this too long. Gryfolyon! Wing daggers attack!"
"Dodge it, Drigger!" Ray shouted.
His blade span and wove through the raining daggers, carefully avoiding the cracks on the dish at the same time.
"You can't dodge it forever!" Robert cried as more daggers rained down with more vigour.
"Drigger! White lightning counter attack!" Ray suddenly shouted.
A beam of silver light rose from his white blade, and branched off into madly cackling lightning that covered the entire dish. The daggers were deflected off the light and went flying all over the place.
"And now trap him!" Ray commanded.
The silver light streams closed in on the golden griffon and formed a cage around him. The griffon shrieked and flapped its large wings, wind rushed around him, howling in fury.
"That will not trap me!" Robert shouted, "Gryfolyon, break free!"
The griffon shook even harder against the binding light. Yet the light streams didn't loosen, instead it tightened. The powers struggled, sending flashes of lightning and gusts of wind into the audiences.
Suddenly Ray commanded, "Drigger! Now!"
The lightning disappeared all at once. The griffon shrieked again, baffled by the sudden change. It tumbled in the air, rolling about madly.
"Tiger claws attack!" Ray shouted once more.
Drigger emerged from the silver-white blade as it rushed towards Robert's light blue one. The tiger pounced on the blade and sent it flying into the air in one sweep of the paw. The light blue blade landed beside Robert's feet.
"And it's over!" AJ shouted, "What an exciting battle! Ray claimed the victory. The first match goes to the Blade Breakers!"
"Wow!" Tyson shouted, "What on Earth did he do?"
"I got it now!" Kenny exclaimed and explained hurriedly, "Ray used white lightning attack to form a cage around Robert's Gryfolyon, knowing he will try to break free. The wrestle is only a decoy. Once the potential power reached a certain level, he will stop the attack. Like in a head on match of tug of war and suddenly letting go. Your opponent will no doubt fall due to the momentum. It worked. Gryfolyon was confused when the white lightning attack stopped and went tumbling. In that moment it was vulnerable to a concentrated attack like the one Ray gave him"
"That is ingenious!" Max complimented.
Ray walked back to them, looking a little tired.
"Well, that took a while." He said with a small smile.
"That was great, buddy!" Tyson said happily.
"And next up we have Edward from the Majestics against Max from the Blade Breakers. Edward is one heck of a blader, and his whale bit- beast is as strange as it is powerful. He is the newest member of the Majestics, and he is ready to kick up some action! His opponent Max concentrates more on defensive moves, though his bit-beast Draciel can storm down the house if needed."
With that little introduction the match began. The two blades sailed into the dish----a new and crack-free one that is----and they raced around the bowl with not much interaction.
Max decided to make the first move. "Draciel!" He shouted, "Tsunami wave attack!"
Roaring water leaped from nowhere and drowned the entire dish. Excess water was pouring out of the dish like a burst damn. Yet the water didn't bring confusion to his opponent like Max hoped. Edward smiled instead.
"Thanks for the water, really." The Irish boy laughed, "Basilyon! Attack!"
Intense blue light filled the water as a form emerged from the Edward's grey blade. The beast was enormous, with a serpentine body and a graceful tail. Every line of the creature spoke of grace, symmetry and power.
Ray leaped up instantly, his eyes wide, "Is that what I think it is?"
"A basilosaurus!" Shea shouted, "How is that possible!"
"A what?" Tyson asked, bewildered, "What is that giant fish called?"
"It's not a fish, Tyson! It's a mammal!" Shea replied irritated.
"It's an ancient whale that went extinct long ago. It was one of the most power marine mammal ever lived." Ray explained.
Max was not having an easy time with the basilosaurus. The great serpent like whale lunged at his blade and nearly knocked it off.
"Draciel, began defensive manoeuvres now!" He shouted.
The grey and the green blade crashed into each other, causing waves of water to leap out of the dish.
"Max! You can't outlast him! A basilosaurus has great stamina!" Shea shouted.
"Oh that is just great." Max muttered.
He clenched his fists; a determined look came to him. "Let's finish this quick then." He shouted, "Draciel! Tsunami wave attack!"
His green blade launched itself at the other with great force, accompanied by roaring water. The two blades crashed into each other and engaged in a tense battle. Though none of this could be seen. They audiences could only see roaring waves and white foams, and the occasional glimpse of blue and indigo light.
Finally with the water subdued and slowly vanished. In the bottom of the dish, a green blade was still spinning, though somewhat wobbly, the grey blade had stopped spinning altogether. Edward looked disappointed. But he smiled at Max warmly.
"Great match!" He said.
"Yeah, that was great." Max smiled.
Shea laughed at Max happily, "Well you did it. Though I still marvel that a tortoise could beat a basilosaurus."
"No more talk from you, because you are up next!" Max said cheerily, "Remember, the world is watching you!"
Shea rolled her eyes and did a mock bow, "And I thank you for your kind words, so encouraging and wonderful to the ears."
Max laughed and said nothing.
AJ shouted over their heads again, "Unbelievable! The Blade Breakers had claimed the second match as well. It all come down for the next match for the Majestics, they will have to win the next one or they are out of the finals!"
Brad said, "And they have a perfect chance to get revenge now. Next up from the Blade Breakers is Shea Willington. She is rather new at beyblading compared to her teammates, but it is said she is just as good as any of them. She will be facing Oliver from the Majestics. This French boy may look a prince rather than a blader, but he is all business once he gets to the dish!"
Shea turned to her teammates and glared, "Isn't anyone going to say 'good luck' at least?"
Max laughed, "Go Shea! Good luck in the battle!"
Shea walked up to the dish and loaded her blade. When the familiar "Let it rip!" sentence boomed around the stadium, she launched her black blade in one fluent motion.
The two blades circled around the dish, slowly gaining speed. Oliver made the first move.
"Unicolyon! Ground shake attack!" He commanded.
A pure white unicorn rose from his blade. It neighed and galloped around the dish. The ground shook, and the entire stadium trembled. In the watch stand, the audiences were having trouble holding on to their popcorns.
"Descant!" Shea gasped, her blade was wobbling, "Move closer!"
The small black blade righted itself and was spinning smoothly again; it raced towards the other blade and circled around it. There it was safe from the vigorous shaking of the ground.
"Unicolyon! Charge!" Oliver shouted.
The unicorn lowered its golden horn and charged. The black blade was too close to manoeuvre. The impact sent it flying. It turned in the air and landed close to the rim of the bowl.
Shea suddenly laughed, "You have a fighting unicorn, and I will compliment that with a team of war horses! Descant!"
The black blade glowed silver, a large white bird emerged and soared into the air. It began to sing. The song was sung with a silvery female voice, though it sounded vigorous and bold. The bird turned and charged down, though it was no longer a bird. Nine brilliant horses charged down, atop of them were riders in brilliant armours. The song grew stronger still, now a chorus of different voices and accompanied with many instruments.
Oliver's eyes widened, and he gasped, "Valkyries!"
Shea commanded, "Now finish this!"
The nine horses charged and surrounded the unicorn. The battle was short. Even though Unicolyon was powerful, it could not stand up to the war goddesses in their full might. The unicorn shrieked and slowly vanished back into the bit-chip. Oliver's blade slowed down and hit the dish with a clang.
"Mon Dieu! C'est extraordinaire!" Oliver exclaimed, bursting back to his mother tongue.
"Now that's what I call an eye-opener!" AJ shouted, "And it's over! With three victories, the Blade Breakers move on to the final match!"
The Majestics walked over to the celebrating victors. They were all smiling.
Enrique laughed and said, "That was great, you are much better than last year. But you could have gone easier on us. I didn't even get a chance to play!"
Shea shrugged, "Hey, we are available for rematch any time you want."
Ray smiled, "Here is your chance for revenge, you can try all the tricks we pulled on you guys last year. But of course, it's very hard to imagine you guys acting like Tyson."
With that they all laughed and walked out the stadium together.
A/N: Well, here is another battle chapter. Last chapter is short and boring, I know. I need that plot development. Here is another longer chapter, with a lot of blading actions in it!
And please review! I want to hear feedbacks! Even if you have to tell me it stinks (In that case, please also tell me why it stinks). =D So Read and review s'il vous plait!
