Anime: Hi again! Let me take this opportunity to tell you guys something
some of my muses that was sweet. It's Remembrance Day, and the Gundam Boys
and Kai were standing out by the flag poles in front of my college and were
saluting and standing to attention during the 'Last Post'. It was so
sweet!
Quatre: Well, we are soldiers, so it's obvious we show respect to those fallen...
Anime: Aw... It brings a tear to my eyes, it really does.
Anya: Just like it did on Sunday.
Anime: *sniff sniff* So sad! Okay, enough procrastinating and soppiness. Can I get on with the fic!?
Duo: Sure you can!
Verbrennen: Of course. I'm not stopping you.... *shifts flamethrower to other shoulder*
Anime: Er.... rrrriiigghhhhtttttt.........

"So what will it be? Mark will be blading first."
Mark nodded once at Anya's command. Kai frowned a little, considering. Max walked up first.
"Hey Kai. I say we stick to our game plan like before. No point trying to change anything now..."
"You do realise this won't be like any other match we fought before..."
"You think? Give me a chance, Kai."
Kai shut his eyes and nodded once. Max nodded and grinned. Giving his friends the thumbs up, he ran to the dish. Mark walked up and took his stand, glaring coldly at Max.
"Okay, so down to the dish. It's the ol' back to basics Classic Dish, AJ, but with a twist. Around the edge, a miniature river is prepared to swallow up any blade that runs close to the bank. Well, er, how about some stats on the bladers, AJ?"
"Sure thing, Brad. Max is a mean blader who's big on defence. With his bitbeast Draciel, he builds up a brick barricade of a defence."
"Ah, yes, but Mark isn't one to be deterred by a little wall. Alongside the venomous Vilebra, he has the potential to smash down a small house."
Anna provided the countdown for the boys. "3...2...1...."
"Let it Rip!!!" Max yelled, releasing his blade. "You're going down, Mark!"
Mark remained silent, watching his own blade. The green and black blade reared up and crashed straight into Max's green blade. Sparks flew all around the dish but Max's blade stayed spinning on one spot, in the centre of the dish. Max grinned.
"Whoa! Kenny's new weight disk does work! Draciel! Let's take him down!"
Draciel emerged from his bit chip, roaring impressively. Mark simply scowled. "You think that's make any difference? Vilebra, so him how we fight now!"
The green and black blade glowed dangerously.
"Draciel! Get him!" Max shouted.
Draciel lowered a fist to smash down on the blade. Bits of the dish cracked and shattered, splashing into the river. Behind Draciel, Mark's black and green blade spun, still glowing.
"What the? How'd he move so fast!?" Max said.
"Uh oh guys! Max's in trouble!" Dizzi announced.
"What do you mean?" Tyson asked.
"Er... Mark's blade is somehow accumulating more velocity and power. The energy levels are soaring! All without calling out Vilebra..." Kenny analysed.
"How's that possible?" Kai asked.
"No idea..."
"Draciel! Don't give up!"
Draciel turned and attempted to grab the black and green blade again. Again, the dish cracked under the weight. Max gritted his teeth. He hadn't seen Mark use these tactics before. They'd never been so sneaky.
"Vilebra! Cobra Venom!"
The green and black bitbeast hissed as it slithered out of its bit chip. Immediately, it coiled and sprung out to Draciel, sinking its fangs into Draciel's armour. The tortoise simply attempted to shake the snake off. Meanwhile, the blades were in a deadlock, more sparks flying, along with blade chips.
"Oh man, how could I forget!?" Max cried suddenly, spotting the pieces of his blade flying.
"What's he talking about, Chief?" Tyson asked.
"What a time to take a stroll down memory lane", Dizzi mentioned, brining up the file. It was a video clip of Max's last match with Mark in the Asian Tournament. "If you remember guys, Mark's blade then was sharper than my wit. Only now, it's made out of sharpened steel. Thus, a cleaner cut. Plus, it adds a smoother rotation to the blade."
"In other words..." Kenny summarised. "Max is in deep trouble."
"As long as he holds it together, he'll find a way to win." Kai muttered, watching the match.
"Draciel! Don't give up! Get back into the blade and power up your defence!"
Draciel complied and disappeared. Instead, now the green blade started glowing purple. Mark's blade still collided with Max's. Anya frowned for a moment and glanced up at the balcony where Boris sat. He noticed her enquiry and nodded. Anya held a hand over her ear, activating the miniature radio.
"Mark. Double the onslaught. Don't let him win." She said in short and clipped tones. "Do what you have to do."
Mark nodded, listening through his own radio in his ear. "Roger that, captain. Vilebra! Put more power behind your attack!"
Vilebra hissed and returned into the chip. The blade glowed green again and smashed harder into Max's blade. More blade chips flew off, but not just Max's. Bits of Mark's blade started chipping off. Max grinned.
"Alright! You'll wear him down soon enough, Draciel! Keep going!"
"Vilebra! More power!"
Suddenly, the black and green blade pulled back and crashed back into the green defence blade. A metallic snap echoed around the stadium. Max winced and a hand flew up to his cheek.
"AHH!" he cried in pain.
"Max!!" The Bladebreakers called out.
"Oh no!" Kathy cried from the stands.
Max removed his hand from his cheek. His hand was smeared with blood. He realised something had snapped off one of the blades and slashed his cheek. Looking behind him, a steel blade with blood on one corner lain on the floor.
"Oh man.... that was close." He muttered, wide eyed.
"Whoa... talk about déjà vu..." Ray said, watching.
"I don't know whether to call it good or bad news. That's a rather large chunk taken out of Mark's blade." Kenny said. "Hopefully, that should spin his blade out of sync, without the balance."
Max turned back to the match and frowned, thinking. Mark's blade was wobbling now, without the balance provided by the missing blade. Mark frowned.
"Vilebra; you better not lose this!" Mark warned.
The bitbeast hissed and appeared again, snapping its fangs. The cobra reared back and dove head first towards Max's blade. The dish shook and rumbled. Dust clouds rose and made both bladers cough. Max cleared his lungs and looked up for the blades and the outcome of the match. One blade was lying on its side and the other was still wobbling. One blader's eyes sparked with triumph, and the other's had the dimming glow of defeat.
"AND MARK TAKES THE FIRST WIN!" Anna announced.
"Wow, AJ! Who would have thought Mark would steal that win!?"
"Not me, Brad. How he managed that is beyond me!"
"Chief; what happened out there!?" Tyson said.
"Er... I'm still trying to figure that out." Kenny said, furiously typing away. "Er... I supposed it was the build up of force that Vilebra incurred, which he released straight into that one attack. There was so much stored energy inside that attack, that it almost took the whole dish with it."
"That's quite the mouthful, Chief." Ray mentioned, standing. Max, who did nothing about the cut on his cheek, took his place on the bench. "You played a great match, Max. Don't let that get you down."
"Max!"
Max looked up. Kathy threw her arms around Max's neck. "You were really brave out there, Max. Don't cry; you don't suit tears."
Max managed a lop-sided smile, partly because smiling on the other side of his face hurt. "That's okay, Kathy. I'm alright, really. I won't cry."
Kathy pulled away and started sorting out the cut on his cheek. Ray smiled at Max's embarrassed but grateful face. However, that changed when he turned and faced Mark.
"No one hurts my friends like that and gets away with it. You may have helped us a couple of days ago, but that's all changed now. You're going down, Mark!"
"Wow, AJ, Ray's got fire in his eyes now."
"No kidding, Brad; Mark's just rattled the cage and the White Tiger isn't happy. Ray's game play is down to his emotions, and it looks like he's tanked up and ready to go for a rough ride around the dish!"
The dish had been replaced, since the last one was cracked beyond repair. It was still the same design. Ray lifted up his launcher, ready to take on Mark. Mark returned to the dish with a new blade. Anna provided the countdown, cueing the release of the blades. Ray didn't allow an inch in the battle, smashing into Mark and sticking with it. Finally, being unable to shake Ray off, Mark raised his arm and shouted.
"Vilebra! Get him!"
"Tiger Claw Attack!!"
Ray's blade started smashing into Mark's, Driger clawing away at the now revealed cobra. Driger roared loudly, bringing his claw down on Vilebra. The snake hissed and snapped at the white tiger. Both bitbeasts and their bladers were going all out.
"Whoa! This is one mondo match between these competitors! Neither is willing to give an inch!"
"You said it, AJ. You can already tell this match will be a close one."
"Go Ray!" Mariah cheered in the stands.
"Show him what you're made of!" Lee added.
"You'll end up like your friend. Just give it up, Ray." Mark sneered.
"Never! Driger; Tiger Claw!!!"
Driger reared up once, building up momentum by the river bank of the dish, before hurtling headlong into Vilebra. A slight explosion of powers could be heard. Mark paled and shook when his blade rolled by his feet. Anna blinked for a moment, as if confused how the loss was achieved but then grudgingly announced "AND RAY MAKES THE FIRST WIN FOR THE BLADEBREAKERS!"
"Well, I said it once AJ, and I'll say it again. That match was close!"
"Almost as close as that nick you got on your chin. Dude, you need a steadier hand than that for shaving."
Ray turned and gave Max, who had a new band-aid on his cheek, a thumb's up. Max returned the smile and cheered for his team mate. Mark returned to Project Mindset, head down. Anya narrowed her eyes. Mark yelped when she delivered a backhand slap across his face.
"You disgraced us, Mark. My uncle won't be so lenient once the tournament is over."
"Yes, Anya."
Anya 'humph' and turned to the other purple-nette in team Project Mindset. "Jurgen. You'd better do better."
"Don't worry. They won't know what hit them."
"Make sure that does happen. Make him and his team know we're serious."
"Looks like it Robert blading next for Project Mindset."
"Sure does Brad. This dude was dead serious on the honour of blading, and with his bitbeast Griffolyon, they always went for the kill in the most honourable fashion. However, now he's with BIOVOLT, will his style of play be dirtied by..."
"What did we tell you? No insubordinate commentating."
"Just doing my job, kid!"
"AND PROJECT MINDSET SENDS OUT ROBERT JURGEN. BLADES AT THE READY. 3... 2... 1... LET IT RIP!!!"
"Driger! Let's end this; Tiger Claw!"
"Griffolyon; maintain your distance and attack from a far. Wing Dagger!"
Griffolyon screeched and stretched his wings, sending rain after rain of sharp feathers down on Driger. Driger roared and shook his head, getting dizzy from the flurry of attack. Ray clenched his fists.
"Driger! Hang in there. Tiger Claw!"
Driger roared and moved in closer to Griffolyon, ready to pounce. Griffolyon opened his beak, releasing blasts at the tiger. Ray gasped. Robert sneered.
"I will not someone as uncouth as you win this match. Griffolyon; Finish him!!!"
Griffolyon screeched and released a storm of feathers at Driger. The force sent the greyish white blade flying. Straight into Ray's gut.
