Chapter 13: Battle Royale

~*~Next Day~*~

The Dragonbladers were already at the stadium, as always. Miranda's older brother, Markis, had finally come to watch the girls, along with Cade. "You guys took long enough", Miranda sighed.

"Give us a break, sis", Markis pleaded. Markis was eighteen, like Cade, they were friends for as long as they could remember; just like Miranda and Crystal's friendship. He had golden-brown hair and hazel eyes; just like Miranda.

Just then Cade and Markis spotted two girls around their age, and they left.

"There they go...again", Crystal smiled. "Every time those two see two beautiful girls, they forget all about everything", Miranda frowned. "And they go off to flirt with 'em", Crystal added.

Miranda had changed her outfit; everything she wore was dark blue, she wore a tube top, a transparent tank top, a knee-length skirt, an aquamarine necklace, and tied her hair into a high ponytail. Angel wore everything white, she wore a tight t-shirt, she had a jacket over that, a pair of jeans that flared out, a silver necklace, a pair of silver hoop earrings, and let her hair out.

Violet wore all pink, she wore a light pink, ½ length sleeved top, a darker pink pair of capris, a dark pink bandana around her left ankle, a gemstone bracelet, and she left her hair loose, once again. Crystal didn't have any specific colour to wear [because of her jersey, otherwise it's black], she wore a black spaghetti strap tank top, a #21 San Antonio Spurs jersey (Tim Duncan), a pair of black loose-fitting jeans, she put her scarf through the belt hoops but tied it to the side, she also added some silver chains through to add some sparkle, and she tied her hair into a ponytail.

The Bladebreakers finally showed up thirty minutes later.

"Do you girls come here early all the time?", Ray asked, and gave Miranda a peck in the cheeks.

Markis and Cade had been turned down by the two girls, so they sat on the benches and chatted. They've been turned down so much that now, it was normal to them.

Markis walked over to Miranda and jerked her ponytail. "We're going to get something to eat, you want me to get you something?", He asked. "No thanks", she answered. Cade got Crystal into a head-lock. "How 'bout you?"

"Can you get me a bottle of water?", she asked. "Sure"

"So what's with them?", Tyson asked. "It's their way of showing us they love us", Miranda and Crystal said in unison. "Ok", Max said.

"I thought we were enemies", Kai told the others. "Not until we enter the arena, sweetie", Angel said in a sugary voice. "Both teams enter with a song playing in the background", Crystal said. "Are the tournaments in Canada always different from the other ones around the world?", Tyson asked confused.

"Kinda", Violet stated. "Well, it makes it seem better", Miranda said in a charming way.

"Well, it's still similar to the other tournaments", Kai said.

"I guess you're right", Angel added, "It's just the music."

All of a sudden Crystal got hit on the head with a heavy bottle. She rubbed the back of her head and bent down to pick it up. She looked back and saw Markis and Cade laughing their heads off.

"¡Voy a matarle!! (I'm going to kill you!!)", Crystal shouted. "¡Quisiera verle intentar! (I'd like to see you try!)", Cade shouted back.

Of course no one understood what they had just shouted out to each other.

"I'll be back", Crystal said, before sprinting towards Cade. She tackled him, and another sibling fight started.

~*~15 min. later~*~

The Houston siblings had finally stopped fighting and cursing each other in Spanish. Music went off over the P.A. system, that meant the finals were about to begin.

"I love this song!", Violet exclaimed. "Hmm...Slow Jamz by Twista featuring Kanye West, right?", Miranda assumed. "Yep", Crystal smirked. "Ugh...do you know all the R&B/rap/hip-hop songs?", Angel testily asked. "Maybe", Crystal and Miranda said in unison.

"Well, we have to go know", Markis said pushing the girls. "C'ya", Cade waved.

Both teams were in opposite hallways that lead into the arena.

~*~With the Bladebreakers~*~

"You guys ready?", Kenny asked. "You bet", Tyson answered. "Ok", Kenny said, "Ray, you and Miranda are battling first. Then Max and Violet, and finally Kai and Angel."

They all nodded at the computer mastermind.

~*~With the Dragonbladers~*~

Angel had just finished telling the team the battle schedule. "This is going to be great!", Violet exclaimed. "Last year sucked! We beat the team so fast it was as easy as 1 2 3", Miranda laughed.

"That's cuz they didn't have any bit-beasts at all", Crystal smiled. "No duh, Sherlock!", Miranda spat at her. "Shut up Watson!", Crystal shot back

~*~Arena~*~

"Ok, ladies and gentlemen, kids of all ages, are you ready for the battle royale!!", Jazzman exclaimed. The crowd cheered and hooted for the two teams.

"Introducing-even though you already know them-The Bladebreakers!!", Jazzman stated.

In the background, music sounded the P.A., Usher ft. Lil John & Ludacris- Yeah.

"Usher. Usher. Usher. Usher", Angel whispered along with the song. It was like the Bladebreakers were waiting for her say it. As soon as she finished, the Bladebreakers entered. Her sweat dropped, "Wow!"

Tyson, Max, Kenny walked in, laughing. Ray followed, and Kai came in behind the others. The music slowly faded to a stop. The Bladebreakers sat at their team bench.

The crowd cheered quietly. "We barely have any fans here", Tyson pouted.

"Uh...give it up for the Dragonbladers!!", Jazzman hesitated, he was surprised that the crowd wasn't cheering as much as they usually do when they see the Bladebreakers. In the background, music thudded on the P.A. again, R Kelly ft. Cassidy-Hotel.

The Dragonbladers waited 22 seconds into the song. Crystal was the first one; she took 5 steps and bent down on one knee, Violet came flipping right over her head, Crystal got on the other knee and stood up right away. Miranda and Angel entered smiling. Cade and Markis showed up behind the girls, with a couple of dance moves.

The music slowly faded away. The crowd cheered wildly. "Guess the hometown always cheers for the home team, huh?", Max sighed.

"Do you guys always have to find a way to mortify us?", Miranda and Crystal asked in unison. The older teens smirked and sat down at the team bench.

"Prepare yourselves for the battle we've all been waiting for!", Jazzman shouted. The Dragonbladers shoot a glare towards the Bladebreakers.

"They're pretty serious about this, huh?!", Max uttered, surprised.

"Ray and Miranda, you're battling first!", Jazzman announced. "Go get him", Markis put his hand on Miranda's shoulder. "You bet! I'll rip that smirk off Ray face like that", Miranda grinned as she snapped her fingers, emphasizing 'that'.

"You go girl!", Crystal stood and gave her a high five, "Did that sound too cliché?" Angel and Violet giggled.

The bladers stepped up to the beydish, and got their launchers ready.

"3..2..1..let it rip!!"

The beybladers launched their beyblades. The blades circled the dish waiting for their masters to yell out a command.

"Go Driger, attack!", Ray summoned. "Dodge it, Steeler!", Miranda commanded. Steeler swiftly moved out of Driger's way, even though Driger was moving at high-speed.

"So, you've been training", Ray sneered. "As a matter of fact, I have. And it's going to pay off as soon as I beat you", Miranda said, proud of herself. The bladers kept attacking, and kept dodging attacks. It was becoming visible that the bit-beasts were getting weaker by the second, as well as the bladers themselves.

"Give it all you got Steeler, Water Tornado!", Miranda yelled. "Driger-!", Ray began. "Not this time Ray", Miranda interrupted, "This is it!"

With a blast of cerulean light, Ray had fallen back- embarrassed, and defeated.

Miranda sighed, she walked over to Ray and helped him to his team's bench, then, ran back to Dragonbladers.

"You know, I think they're really serious about winning", Ray said with concern in his voice. "Gee, ya think?", Tyson said, sarcastically. Kai rolled his eyes.

"Good luck Max!", Kenny motivated him. "Thanks Chief", Max showed appreciation to Kenny.

"Bladers get ready, 3..2..1..let it rip!!"

The two bladers released their beyblades. Max and Violet, both looked pretty nervous; if Max won, the Bladebreakers would still have a chance of winning, if Violet won, the Dragonbladers would automatically win the match, and become the undefeated champions.

"You think there's too much on the line for those two to handle?", Crystal asked. "Maybe, but we still have to keep our hopes up", Angel answered.

Violet closed her eyes, she couldn't possibly be aggressive towards her Maxy. Max looked at Violet, she looked like she was even more tense than he was.

"Whatever happens Violet, I'll still love you", Max said just loud enough for Violet to hear; but everyone else heard as well. Violet glanced at Max, she flashed him a smile.

"Aww, that's so sweet", Miranda sighed.

"Ok then, Aries, Rush Claw Attack!!", Violet smirked. "Draciel, Fortress Defense!", Max called out. The defense move sent Aries towards the other side of the dish, causing damage to it's attack ring.

"Heavy Viper Wall!", Max yelled. Max had caught Violet and Aries off guard, Aries was sent up in the air. It came back, almost falling back into the dish, before it did, Violet reached out and grabbed it.

Everyone gasped. The Dragonbladers' eyes widened, Violet's beyblade was still spinning, it also had a chance of winning but, Violet stopped it from happening.

Violet lowered her head and walked back to the team bench, as Angel passed by her she gave her an understanding look. It made Violet feel better, knowing that her team didn't mind to what she had done, at all.

Angel and Kai stood opposite of each other of the beydish. "Guess this is it", Kai sighed. "Whoever wins, they'll be the champions", Angel murmured.

They both got their beyblades and launchers ready. "3..2..1..let it rip!"

The beyblades both landed on the dish with a thud, both were spinning rapidly and moving at the same speed.

"Dranzer, Flame Sabre!", Kai shouted. "Neptune, Star Shower!", Angel yelled. Kai's beyblade went out in flames and Angel's beyblade multiplied into six.

Neptune attacked Dranzer from every direction. Dranzer could take it but, after Neptune became one and backed away from Dranzer, Dranzer began to tip a bit and the flame became smaller.

"Dranzer!!", Kai shouted again. Dranzer quickly stopped from tipping over and the flame grew bigger, brighter, and hotter. Angel narrowed her eyes.

"Go, Neptune!!"

"Go, Dranzer!!"

There was a burst of white light and smoke. After the smoke cleared up, they noticed the beyblades weren't in the dish. Both bladers were surprised. Where were the beyblades?

"Look down at your feet!", Crystal and Tyson yelled in unison. "And it looks like a tie! We're going to have a tiebreaker! Teams, you have one minute to decide your players!", Jazzman announced.

Tyson and Crystal gazed at each other, and nodded. They both stood up and walked towards the dish, they didn't wait for any of their teammates' replies.

"You ready?", Tyson asked. "I was born ready", Crystal answered with a smirk. "All spare in love and war!", Tyson whispered.

'I have to win this', Crystal thought in her head. 'I can't believe it has come down to this', Tyson thought silently.

"3..2..1..let it rip!"

The beyblades landed on the steel plating of the dish. Beads of sweat ran down their cheeks, the bladers were more anxious than ever.

'Why can't I draw myself to call out an attack?', Crystal asked herself. "Crystal, I want this battle to as fair as possible! Give it all you got!", Tyson shouted.

She snapped out of her thoughts and gave Tyson a lovable smile; which turned into a smirk. "Fighter Claw!", Crystal summoned her bit-beast. "Dragoon!", Tyson yelled.

Both bit-beasts appeared from their owners' beyblade. Dragoon spun in place, and Fighter Claw circled around it, at an extremely close range. Fighter Claw tipped to its side, right under Dragoon, it tipped back sending Dragoon up in the air. Dragoon kept flying up and up. At one point Dragoon almost hit the ceiling but, started to descend, on its top.

Fighter Claw circled the dish once, went forward to the middle, then back, and ascended upwards, towards Dragoon.

"Victory Tornado!", Tyson hollered. "Fire Inferno!", Crystal cried.

There was immense power coming from the beyblades, crimson light flashed from Crystal's blade, and azure light flashed from Tyson's.

"Wow!", Tyson was amazed, "You really are giving it everything you got!" "Trust me, it hurts me more than it hurts you!", Crystal shut her eyes. She couldn't watch, for one thing, it was too hurtful, and for another, the light was completely blinding.

There was sparks and bright flashes of light as Dragoon and Fighter Claw collided. When it all disappeared, everyone was shocked at the condition of the beydish. It was broken into millions of cracks, there was still some clouds of smoke hovering over the middle of the dish. As soon as it cleared up, the Dragonbladers' faces lit up. The Bladebreakers awed.

Fighter Claw was spinning on a piece of standing metal, and Dragoon had fallen into a crack. "And the Dragonbladers remain the Canadian Champs!!", Jazzman declared.

Crystal sighed and fell on her knees, Tyson slumped down on the floor; disappointed yet proud.

"Finally!", Miranda said relieved. Violet was really cheerful, she did a couple of flips and landed right next to Crystal, and helped her up. The Bladebreakers rushed towards Tyson. Ray and Kai helped him up.

Cade ruffled Crystal's hair, and Markis put his arm around Miranda's shoulder. The All Starz, White Tigers, Arctic Revolution, Mariners, Shamans, and the Fiesta Brothers, walked into the arena.

"To all teams that participated in the 2004 Canadian tournament, on behalf of our beautiful city, Toronto, we hope you enjoyed your stay!", the Mayor and Mr. Dickenson announced in unison.

Once again the crowd cheered and hollered.
