===========================================================

"LET IT RIP!" Alexander shouted as he launched his blade using his mace launcher.

"Go Draphiel!"

Both blades landed on the opposite snow-ridden shores of the dish. Alexander smiled.

"I've trained in the snow before; my blade can withstand the icy surface. You have no chance against me!"

Anya smirked. "Never underestimate an opponent, Alexander. Draphiel! Get in close!"

The purple blade zig zagged through the snow, cutting through the ice like a figure skater.

"Wha..?" Alexander gasped, shocked at seeing how easily the purple blade cut through the snow.

"My blade can also slice through snow and cut ice," Anya called out to Alexander. "And you know why!? Because Draphiel is right at home in the cold ice and snow! GO DRAPHIEL!"

The red and white harpy emerged with a screech, sending a winged arm down on the blade.

Alexander was taken aback for a moment. Why is this so familiar? Shaking his head, he gritted his teeth. "GO GRIZZBORG!"

From the chip in the bit, a huge grey and violet grizzly bear bit beast emerged, roaring a battle cry.

"Whoa! That thing's HUGE!" Max gaped.

"This is new; I didn't know Alexander had a bitbeast!" Kenny said.

"I think it may have been a left over bitbeast from one of Boris's mad experiments." Kai muttered, thinking. "However, that doesn't really matter."

"Kai's right. What matters is if Anya manages to beat that bear down. GO ANYA!!!" Tyson yelled.

Anya stared at the grizzly bear bitbeast with an amused look. "Impressive. Draphiel, get into the water!"

The purple blade complied, getting close to the water.

"GRIZZBORG! Follow that blade!"

The grey blade tailed Draphiel. Anya smiled, knowingly. "Let me demonstrate a strategy I learnt in the Asian Tournament. Draphiel, HARPIES' ICE HURRICANE!!"

The harpy came out of her bit again when the blade hit the water. A wave hit Alexander's grey blade, soaking it. Draphiel began spinning, creating her icy hurricane. Soon, all the water in the dish froze; including the water soaking Alexander's blade.

"NO!"

"ALEXANDER'S BLADE IS FROZEN SOLID!!! ANYA HAS PULLED A COOL VICTORY OUT OF HER HAT!!"

Alexander picked up his blade and looked over at Anya. "Great battle. That was a smart tactic, using the water to your advantage."

"Yeah, well, you weren't too bad yourself, Alexander." Anya said, smiling.

Alexander walked back to the bench, his mind whirling. Tala stood up and walked to the dish. He stared at Anya, clutching his silver Wolborg blade. Anya smiled and readied her blade and launcher. Tala did the same.

"BLADERS!!! THREE.TWO.ONE.LET IT RRRRRRIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!"

The two bladders launched their blades into the dish. Both had landed next to each other and proceeded in attempting to demolish each other.

"I see we're almost equally matched in the area of attack type. I, too, have the power of ice in my blade. WOLBORG! Show her what I mean!"

The silver blade sliced through the snow and skated across the frozen lake. With an almighty howl, Wolborg left his bit and an icy wind blew across the stadium. Anya smiled.

"Very cool, Tala. And I mean that! Draphiel! You show Wolborg what cool is really about!"

Draphiel followed Wolborg onto the ice and emerged from her bit. She began spinning, releasing her Ice Hurricane. The two blizzards the bitbeasts were releasing blew harshly around the stadium.

"Oh man. it...it's f...f...f.FREEZING!" Tyson yelled.

"No kidding!" Max agreed.

"Chief! I think my circuits have frozen! I can't feel my chips!" Dizzi yelled.

Only Kai and Ray remained, silent, though only Ray showed how much he hated the cold. Kai just sat in his normal position.

"Anya seems quite at home in this blizzard." Kai noted.

It was true. Whilst the rest of the stadium were shrugging coats on, only the Demolition Boys, Kai and Anya seemed unaffected by the cold. Anya smirked.

"This is quite a match you're putting me through Tala!" she shouted over the storm.

"It isn't over yet!"

Both bitbeasts and blades began taking the battle to physical. The ice beneath them was chipping, but neither bladers weren't concerned.

"DRAPHIEL!!!"

"WOLBORG!"

CCCCCCRRRRRRRAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!

The ice lake finally cracked. Both blades balanced precariously on their lumps of ice. The snow blinded the view of the dish as the wind blew hard. Anya and Tala shut their eyes to avoid the snow blindness. Anya's hat blew off her head as the wind whirled around.

"WOAH! Well Brad, what do you make of this match!?"

"It's going to be very close, AJ, between these both cool customers!"

The snow settled. There were now only icebergs floating on the lake surface. On one such iceberg, a lone blade was seen spinning. On the opposite block of ice, the other blade laid on its side.

"TALA TAKES THE WIN. ANYA HAS BEEN FROZEN OUT! IT'S NOW THE FINAL MATCH! BLADEBREAKERS! BRING OUT YOUR FOURTH!"

Anya smiled, running a hand through her hatless-hair and brushing her fringe aside. "That was a great match." Picking up her blade, Anya turned back to the team bench. Kai had already stood up and was walking to the dish. He handed Anya her hat.

"Thanks", Anya mumbled before setting the brown hat on its rightful place before sitting back down. Roger was there, furiously writing what Tyson was telling him, which looked to be pretty long winded. Roger stopped writing when Tyson paused for breath and started talking to Anya.

"Anya! I was wondering if you could be good enough to contribute something about yourself?"

"Don't bother. Not a lot to tell..."

"How about we start with the basics? Name, age; you know, all those."

Anya had assumed her neutral position. Great... she thought sarcastically, the discomfort and annoyance visible on her face. Kai smiled slightly at Anya's reaction before facing Tala.

"Wow AJ! Who'd guess this match would come down to these two competitors? Both Captains from the opposite teams!"

"I didn't Brad. Both competitors are mondo skilled; it'll be a close battle!"

Tala and Kai nodded to each other and assumed the launch pose.

"THREE! TWO! ONE! LET IT RRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!

The two bladers released their blades simultaneously, causing the blades to crash in mid-air. Almost immediately, the bitbeasts emerged and roared or screeched. Wolborg attempted to swipe Dranzer as their blades landed on the ice. Dranzer flapped her wings and soared a little higher.

"WOAH! THOSE BEASTS ARE OUT FOR SOME DAMAGE!"

"No kidding AJ! And between this fire and ice environment, I have no idea what the thermometer's got to be feeling!"

"DRANZER! FIRE ARROW!"

"WOLBORG! DODGE IT THEN ATTACK!"

The two bitbeasts went at each other with amazing ferocity. Both weren't giving up.

"WOLBORG! ATTACK, FULL FORCE!"

The wolf howled before tackling the phoenix. Kai frowned, trying to think of a strategy. This dish is all ice... I know! Kai thought.

"DRANZER! TURN UP THE HEAT! KEEP ATTACKING!"

Dranzer obeyed and started using her claws to fight back at Wolborg. Tala frowned.

"What do you take me for? Wolborg! Get off the ice!"

"HURRY DRANZER!"

Dranzer grabbed Wolborg before he could get off the ice. The phoenix flapped her wings, raising the temperature in the dish.

"FIGHT IT WOLBORG!"

"NOW DRANZER!"

With a final burst of flame, Dranzer's blade shot towards the snowy bank of the lakeside as the ice of the lake cracks and melts. With a crunching sound, the ice crumbles beneath Tala's blade and it sank.

"KAI WINS IT!!! KAI WON THE MATCH ALL ROUND FOR THE BLADEBREAKERS!!!"

Tala waded into the cool water and retrieved his blade. He looked up to Kai, who held a hand to Tala to help him out.

"You've improved comrade." Tala commented, accepting the hand.

"So have you", Kai replied helping him out.

"KAI!"

From behind, Tyson and Max decided to jump onto Kai's back and cheer in celebration. Ray, Kenny and Anya, who was still being questioned annoyingly by Roger, had more sense.
