"Let it riiip!"
We yanked at our ripcords and watched our beyblades as they crashed into the beydish. My blade immediately took the defensive position while the black one was spinning around near the rim of the dish. Suddenly the other blade rushed forward.
The order of "Attack now!" rang in my ears a split second after.
Trilox allowed it to come closer until it was about a centimetre away and then dodged away.
"What?! No way!" I felt my opponents eyes stare at me while I kept my eyes downcast and on the battle below. "Did you whisper your command or somethin'?" He practically growled, "Your beyblade doesn't do anything unless you tell it to."
'No' unless you can tell 'it' wha' to do with your thoughts, ay Trilox?'
'Yup. Ah guess we're goin' to find out this guys strengths huh?'
Before I could reply, the black blade slammed into Trilox sending uh . . .him spinning out of the beydish.
"Pff. You're pretty fast but if you don't attack you'll never win. If that's your regular strategy then the overall battle is mine." The whirring stopped as the blade left the dish and straight into his hand. "So you'd better stop right now before your blade gets destroyed."
I stooped down to pick up Trilox who had conveniently right between my feet.
'I didn't expect him to attack so quickly. He's stronger than what I originally thought but he should still go down anyway.'
'Okay, cool.'
We took our positions and the shout of "3 . . .2 . . .1! Let it riiip!" echoed through otherwise silent room. Two hollow clangs later, both blades raced towards each other to then crash in the middle. There was a small flash as both blades created sparks on contact. Their strengths were pretty much the same. At one point, one blade gave a little ground which made the other blade go off balance, when the other blade rushed back, it ended up with both blades whirling around each other in a tight circle.
'Trilox, back up a bi'. Make 'im think he's gainin' ground. Only 'till 'bout halfway to the rim though.'
'Okay. I get what you want to happen. I'm getting' dizzy anyway.'
Trilox suddenly backed out of their 'dance'. Again, the black blade slammed into him and sent him a few centimetres back. What I didn't expect to see was that Trilox had started to wobble. Unconsciously, I gripped my ripcord tighter.
"No!" I just barely heard the half whisper, half sob over the spinning of the two blades. As I was halfway turned around to see what was wrong I heard the shout of " Attack!" Too late to turn back around completely and too late to talk to Trilox I could only watch as the black blade rushed forwards the silver (still wobbling) blade.
As the black blade was about to smash into Trilox, Trilox abruptly dodged to his right. While the black blade shot past another shout was made by my opponent.
"Turn around!"
Unfortunately, after he had finished his command, his blade had a burst of speed . . .out of the dish. There was a light click as it hit the bare floor. Trilox on the other hand, was running rings inside the dish looking like he had never been wobbling seconds before.
There was silence as the others comprehended what had happened. Well, it was silent for them. For me and Trilox, we were talking, not that they could hear us anyway.
'You had me worried there!'
'Ah was just goin' with the plan. That's what you wanted me to do wasn't it?'
'Yeah, bu' Ah didn't expect you to start wobbin' and Ah didn't expect that I would believe you! Are you gonna come to my hand so we can start the last match already? Ah think this one'll be close.'
'Ah'm comin'! It may be close, but he doesn't have a bit beast does he?'
'Ah guess.' I started to load Trilox into the launcher for the third time. 'But should Ah really use you against a blade without a bit beast? You know how Ah feel 'bout doin' that.'
'Well it-'"3 . . .2 . . .1! Let it riiip!"
Instinctively, I pulled on the ripcord. I knew I would be able to talk to Trilox anyway, whether he was battling or not.
Not surprisingly, the blade didn't decide to attack after what happened before. My opponent now knew two things, my blade was extremely fast and I tricked people to think one thing when it wasn't. He was also probably a bit spooked by me because I hadn't said uttered a single sound from the start of the first match. Come to think of it, I haven't said anything out loud since I've entered this building. There is something else he doesn't know though, apart from that I have a bit beast.
I could cheat.
I couldn't rig the match as it had already started and I couldn't tamper with his blade since it was already in the dish. I could still cheat though. That's the whole point of my existence isn't it? That's the reason I lost my memories, that's the reason I spent two years in that place with no-one to talk to apart from a bit beast. And that's the reason why I'm standing here by this beydish battling this stranger, who I still don't know the name of.
What I'm talking about it my psychic powers.
That was why I got psychic powers. So I could know a persons tactics as they thought of them so then I could change mine in accordance with theirs. It's a perfect plan, give a kid psychic powers so he or she can cheat to win every single battle they're in. One snag though, what happens id that kid doesn't want to cheat? I.e. Me. I don't mind the powers, in fact, I can't remember what it was like before I had my powers (could have something to do with the drugs though). Sure, I could beat every single person and be the best blader in the world, but because I had cheated. Because I had made someone tell me their plans without them realizing. It just doesn't feel right.
Both our blades stayed relatively in the same place that they landed on. Not used of waiting fifteen seconds before charging headlong into something, my opponent's normal nature of using brute force got the better of him.
"Attack it!" he shouted. " . . .But don't go too fast" he added as an afterthought.
'Triplex, pretend your going' to do the same thing-''But to then stay in the same place.'
I felt a small smile spread across my face as I felt the friendship between the two of us. I saw the black blade bash onto Triplex, who then banked left. I was surprised when I observed the black blade suddenly move to the left to intercept Triplex. If Triplex had actually been there in the first place that is. Yet again my opponents blade shot past. As Triplex was about to ram into the black blade I was surprised for a second time when the other blade ran back into Triplex with enough force to shove him back into the middle of the boyish. For real this time, no tricks.
"Huh," I looked up quickly to the boy opposite me. "You don't look like it but you're a pretty good bladder. No one's given me this much of a challenge in a very long time. Your blade's getting tired though, isn't it? You're good, but not good enough to beat me! Attack!"
When the black blade crashed into the silver blades strength couldn't match with the raw power of the black blade. Gritting my teeth, I knew that there was only one way to beat him and I wasn't too happy with the choice.
"TRILOX!!!"
Startled, my opponent took a step backwards. Probably because this was the first word I had er. . .said, but it could have also been because I had shouted it at the top of my lungs. What happened next made everyone (apart from me) gasp.
Suddenly Trilox's blade lit up with a silver glow that rivalled the light of the hanging lights attached to the ceiling. When it died down, hovering five centimetres above the silver beyblade, was Trilox.
I had a feeling that the people around me were shocked. You didn't have to be a mind reader to know that. Their first shock would have been that I actually had a bit beast and then they would have had another one when they saw what Trilox was. To them, it would have been a blast from the past, you could say.
You see, Trilox is a velociraptor. A three headed velociraptor to be more precise. Donned on each head was a sort of mask that covered the top half of their skulls, it went from the tip of their snout, over their eyes to the back of the skull. The left most mask was a lush green, the middle mask was a deep ocean blue and the mask on the far right was a deep almost blood red. On top of each skull were three spikes. The spikes produced from the centre of the head/mask to then curve forward so it ran the same course as snout but not as long as it. The centre spike was thicker than the ones beside it. The spikes on the outside also curved in slightly, so that the sharp tips pointed to the centre and they weren't as long as the centre one either. Running down each neck, down the spine, to the tip of his tail and also down each limb to either the wrist or ankle were curved, flat spikes that was a dull orange. The rest of Trilox was a type of gold colour, which was more of an orangey yellow then actual gold.
"Maul attack!" I yelled. As the command left my lips, Trilox rushed towards the black blade and before he reached it he extended his three heads to chomp on the blade before him. Five seconds later a black blade zipped out and when it landed it turned over and started smoking from the heat of the battle.
Trilox returned to his bit piece and moved into my outstretched hand. When he landed there I noticed immediately that the blade was warm. I sighed and looked up to the people behind me. They were staring at me with a mix of respect and a little fear. Zero was staring at my eyes again, Talon and the other girl soon followed suit. Zero had exactly the same look as he did before and the other girl and Talon shortly mirrored his look of fear. Worried, but trying not to show it, I turned around again to look at my opponent who I (and Trilox) was just battling.
"I guess that means you're staying here then." He said. Then he, like the others started to stare at my eyes.
'Why are they doin' that? What are they seeing? Ah can't take this.' Utterly confused, I thrust Trilox into a pocket and ran down the stairs and out of the building. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Should I have left it there? Ah well. So what do you guys think? Of the beybattle and Trilox. Tell me if it was bad or whatever 'coz I wasn't too sure about the whole thing. So now you know why he was 'given' his powers. I didn't think that the whole battle would take up a whole chapter. Now to my reviewers:
Dudems: For once you reviewed early! It's amazing!!! Thanks for the vanilla coke, I'm still drinking it you gave me so much!
Wingcanine: Thanks for saying that! Um, I don't really want you to hate Talon. But tell me if you want me to tweak her a bit so that she isn't such a ditz.
So tell me what you think and please review!!
