[---] Flashback
Sapphire sighed, "Kai, the girl, was her name Silver or-or even...Sapphire." Kai looked at her.
"How would you know that?" He snapped. Sapphire flinched.
"Nothing, I-um-I- um-never mind," She finally squeaked out and made a dash for her door.
"Welcome to the opening battle of The Crystal Bitbeast Tournament!" DJ Jazzman yelled to the crowd, "Today we have the All Starz blading against the Nine Lives!"
The Bladebreakers were sitting in the stands with the rest of the bladers. Sapphire leaned on the railing to get a better view.
"Nine Lives...sounds like a cat." Sapphire complimented.
The Nine Lives just happened to walk past, "How perceptive." One of the girls sneered. Sapphire blinked twice and got an offended look on her face.
"I'm sorry," Sapphire began, "but it wasn't like I was insulting you." She shook her head slightly.
The second girl behind the first, who had spoken glared at Sapphire, "You don't remember us do you?" Sapphire blinked again and tilted her head off to one side.
"No...an I suppose to?"
The only male on the team opened his mouth to protest, but DJ Jazzman cut in.
"WILL THE BLADERS PLEASE APPROACH THE RINK?"
The last girl turned around to look at Sapphire, " Watch and learn how the real game is played."
Eddy vs. Steph
"Bladers in your positions...3...2...1 LET IT RIP!" Both the bladers position their launchers. While Eddy's was a basketball launcher, Steph had a regular one. Both the their blades in with equal vigor.
"Cature!" Steph yelled and a feline rose out of her green blade. It was a white jaguar with green designs that trailed down its body. "Attack his blade!" Cature went on full fuel and charged head on head with Trypio.
"Trypio don't let down," Eddy shouted out.
Both blades spun in the middle of the dish, each pushing the other blade towards the middle. Finally the two blades spun apart and then rammed together again. The impact from both blades where so strong, that both blades rebounded out.
"WOW! THAT WAS INTENCE! BUT LOOKS LIKE A TIE!"
Emily vs. Celli
Both of the girls approached to dish.
"Hi," Celli smirked, "you're going down."
Emily huffed, "Oh that smirk won't be there when you kiss the ground!"
"BLADERS READY! 3...2...1 LET IT RIP!"
Celli wasted no time getting things rolling. " Meozer, cat whip!" Another jaguar came out, but it was black. Same design, but it matched Celli's red blade.
"Trygator, head on head collision!"
"Who do you thinks is going to win?" Sapphire asked.
Kenny got defensive, "Emily is going to win!"
Max leaned over to whisper in Sapphire's ear, " Kenny has a huge crush on her."
"Oh."
Kai gave them a pointed glance and they all looked back at the battle.
Right now, Emily and Celli had their blades spinning on the outer rim of the dish.
"So tell me," Celli smirked, "what is a nerd like you doing beyblading?" Emily turned a dark hue of purple.
"NERD!" Emily screeched, "I'll show you NERD!"
"Uh oh," Michael breathed out. Trygator responded to Emily's anger, with one powerful attack, Meozer was slammed out of the dish.
"No!" Celli whined.
"WELL LOOKS LIKE CELLI LUCKED OUT!"
Michael vs. Kline
"This is pay back," Kline announced, "for hurting my girlfriend."
Michael snorted, "I thought the cat girls could hold their own in battle."
"BLADERS READY! 3...2...1 Let it rip!"
Kline wasted no time bringing out hit bitbeast, " Seanore!" Out rose another cat like bitbeast. It was cross between a house cat and a tiger.
"You call that a bitbeast?" Michael burst out laughing, "Trygle, show them how it's done, attack!"
Kline and Seanore didn't have much time to react, because Seanore had been sent airborne.
"LOOKS LIKE THE ALL STARZ TAKE THIS ROUND!"
The crowd burst into claps and cheers again.
"Ok, we're talking a ten minute break, and next up we have the Bladebreakers facing off the Night Shadows!"
Michael strutted up to the BB. "You just had to steal our two second fame didn't you?" He slid Sapphire a smooth wink, which she ignored. Her mind was unfocused with Vinny and Lance kissing in the background.
She gritted her teeth and her fingernails dug into her palms. She still couldn't understand why Lance affected her so much.
"Will both of you save your PDA!" She snarled and shoved her way through the crowd, missing that smug look on Lance's face.
Sapphire left the BB to talk with their friends. She shivered in the cold of the stadiums outside. She lifted her head to the sky. "Why?" she murmured.
"Why indeed?" Came a quiet voice to Sapphire's left. "Why indeed Silver." Sapphire turned instantly and came face to face with a spirit like...thing. It was an angel to be more precise. She had brown hair with a brown and white suit. (A/N: she looks like Alexiel from Angel Sanctuary)
"Who...what are you?" Sapphire stammered. The angel turned to look directly at Sapphire.
"My name is The Organic Angel Alexiel, Silver." The name triggered power. Sapphire flinched at the use of her biological name. ' That name sound familiar.'
"Apparently you already know my name," She joked. Alexiel gave her a blank look. "Of course I would know your name." Sapphire sighed.
"So you're a bitbeast." Alexiel's eyes flashed.
"In a way." Sapphire shrunk back.
"WILL ALL BLADERS REPORT TO THE BEYSTADIUM?"
Sapphire moved in, "It was nice...uh...talking...to you." She hurried off without another glance back.
"Oh, well talk again soon, very soon, Silver Rye."
Sapphire ran down the hall and turned a dark corner. SLAME she crashed into someone.
"Urg! I am so sorry," She opened her eyes to look at Bryan. "Oh hey, nice to see you again, but I've got to go." Bryan grabbed her arm as she passed.
"Be careful," He growled. Sapphire nodded and raced off again.
"WELCOM LADY AND GENTLEMEN TO THE BLADERBREAKERS VS. THE NIGHT SHADOWS!"
"Can I go first?" Sapphire asked after Kenny filled them in on the two boys and two girls team.
Kai shook his head, "No, Ray you go in first." Sapphire sighed and watched as Ray went against Nick Um. Nick was Asian like Ray.
"You BB don't look like much," Nick sneered. Ray face iced over. "Well you'll have to find out the hard way, won't you?"
"BLADERS READY, 3...2...1 LET IT RIP!"
"Driger, Tiger claw!" Ray's blade charged into Nick's. "Fereci, Night Wash!" Fereci was a bat and they kept a head on head battle.
But finally due to Ray's experience and trust in his bitbeast, he won.
"AND RAY TAKES THE FIRST ROUND!"
"Now can I blade?" Sapphire asked impatiently. Kai gave her a glare and nodded. Sapphire walked calmly up to the dish.
" WELL LOOKS LIKE THE BLADEBREAKERS SEND SAPPHIRE BECER! SHE LEAD THE DIGITAL BLADERS TO THE FINALS OF THE CRYSTAL BITBEAST TOURNAMENT LAST YEAR, BECAUSE THE 20TH YEAR WAS MISSED!"
Sapphire looked her opponent over. Riley was a blond with brown eyes, so Sapphire assumed that she had bleached her hair.
"Hi," Sapphire smile, "you ready?"
Riley gave her a disbelief look, "Don't think that would work." Sapphire's smile disappeared.
"Ok," She began coolly, "I hope you like losing."
"3...2...1 LET IT RIP!"
"Ghostly," Riley barked, "Imperial Night!" Sapphire remained claim. Black clouds seemed to surround the dish. Riley laughed, "You can't see your blade now."
Sapphire had her arms crossed, much like Kai. "If you think that some trick of illusion is going to work on me, well sorry sucker, you've got the wrong girl." Green light streaked through the clouds, cleanly slicing them away.
"But how?" Riley splattered.
"Light," came Sapphire's simple answer, " Akela is both light and darkness."
Riley sneered, "So what, you are still going to loose to me."
Sapphire tossed her black hair behind her and dropped her hands to her side. "We'll see about that, we'll see."
"Ghostly, Nightmare Sonic!" The ghost like bitbeast sent out waves, sound wave. Everyone within listening range cringed at the screeching noise.
"Akela, shield 9!" Akela threw an invisible shield that cut off the sound. Sapphire smirked, "Well missy take a look at mine. Akela DRAK ARROW!" Sapphire's blade was covered in the same black with white light. With one swift head on head charge, it knocked Ghostly out of the dish.
"AND SAPPHIRE TAKES THIS ROUND AND THE BLADEBREAKERS HAVE WON!"
Again the crowd burst into cheers, whistle, and claps. Sapphire jumped into the dish and picked up her blade. When she turned around, she was knocked over by Max and Tyson, who apparently wanted to hug the life out of her.
[Night]
Sapphire brushed her hair and climbed into her hotel bed. She pulled the quilt up to her chin to ward of the coldness of Moscow. She smiled while holding her blade. "Thanks for everything Akela. Goodnight." She tucked her blade under her pillow and turned off the light.
Unknown to Sapphire, her blade's codes began to rotate fast. So fast in engulfed the blade in green light. And across the dark room a silvery blue light shone, followed by a red light, then a green, then a blue, and then a purple.
I wonder what is happening. (If I only knew) I hope you enjoy this chapter. And if you are wondering why they only bladed two times and the All Starz bladed 3 times, well since the BB won the 2 rounds they don't have to blade again!
Thank you:
GinRyu: Kawaii name, I love it! Thank you for reviewing and I'll try to improve on that!
Akira: Thank you for the comment, this chapter isn't very long, but I hope you enjoy it anyway!
Preview:
"No..." came her faint voice, "no." she withdrew her blade and looked at her blank bit chip. How hadn't she noticed it before?
I love the next chapter! No I haven't typed it yet, but I know what's going to happen and you can hate me all you want...but everything will work out!
Also Sapphire/Silver will be crying a lot in the next chapter. RandomCandy reminded me that S/S couldn't turn into a Mary Sue, so I decided to show her weaknesses in the next chapter!
Without wax,
