The battle between Ian and Adam from the Creepy Crawlies was fierce. Both players had a bad temper and were willing to win no matter what the cost. Ian thought he had the advantage having a bitbeast and all but despite this Adam put up a good fight. Wyborg kept attacking the other beyblade but being so strong and well-built it almost had not effect whatsoever.
Ian was mad, he gritted his teeth trying to think of a plan to get this guy. However, his mind was clouded with angry thoughts while Adam didn't even break a sweat. Wyborg wore himself out with all the continuous attacking but Ian was too angry to realise it. Adam snickered.
Ian shouted, "Why are you smiling?! I'm going to wipe that grin off your ugly face!"
However without warning Adam's beyblade crashed into Wyborg. This caused a hideous grinding sound when they made contact. Both of them battled intensely but because Wyborg was already worn out from all the previous attacking he began to wobble. Adam used this to his advantage and ordered his beyblade to shove Wyborg into the river. Wyborg was left helplessly drifting with the current until the beyblade stopped at the edge of the beydish.
Adam laughed evilly (much like Weevil, that annoying guy with the bugs in Yu-Gi-Oh). Ian didn't want to face his team mates but slowly made his way to the booth.
"Ian, you let us down, "Spencer said.
Bryan shook his head, "How disappointing, now it's my turn." After saying so the cold, pale boy stood up and headed towards the dish.
"That was quick wasn't it," Max said.
"Mm hmm," Tyson nodded in agreement.
"Let's hope they lose the next battle too," Kenny said hopefully.
Soon after Adam from the Creepy Crawlies was declared the winner another announcement was made to introduce the next contestants.
"The second battle will be Bryan from the Demolition Boys against Carey from the Creepy Crawlies."
"Bryan and his bitbeast Falborg are both as cool and mysterious as they come."
"His opponent Carey and his bitbeast Beidectus won't be easy to defeat."
"Let's check out the dish. For this battle we have the tower dish. A dish with a smooth surface but a tower with a smaller beydish erected from the centre. The challenge is to remain within the smaller dish for ten seconds. Whoever manages to do this wins the battle!"
"3, 2, 1 Let it rip!!"
With that the beyblades were off, both of them rotating sideways along the tower obviously trying to get the top of the tower.
This particular beydish brought back memories, from what felt like a long time ago, for Max. The blonde boy turned to see Kai with a strange distant look in hie chestnut eyes. He could tell that Kai was also reminded of their first battle against each other.
It was during the Regional Qualifying tournament back in Japan at the Seadome. Battling Kai was indeed challenging. Even when Max discovered Draciel's bit chip in his grandmother's pendant he had not known how to unleash the potential power of the bitbeast. This cost him the match but despite this he was still honoured to have battled someone with Kai's skill. It was indeed a memorable experience.
Max felt a hand on his shoulder which took him by surprise.
"Hey Max, what's on your mind?" Rei asked, "You seem a little...distracted."
"Oh it's nothing," Max replied with a small smile, getting back to the present, "Let's just watch the battle."
There was a long pause as Rei eyed Max suspiciously, "If you say so."
As the battle was heating up The Dark Angels watched observed everything that was happening within the beydish.
"The Demolition Boys...they're the guys that were standing behind us at the Opening Ceremony aren't they," Bella stated uncertainly.
"I think so..." Sara answered, "His name is Bryan right?" she asked.
Ling looked closely at the expression of the pale, violet haired boy, "He appears so cold..." she thought shivering at the thought.
"Hello?!" Sara called out, interrupting Ling's thoughts and waving her hand in front of her face.
Ling sighed, "Yeah, it's Bryan all right."
Kylie added, "Is it just me or does Bryan give off a somewhat cold vibe?"
"Yeah, it seems so," Bella commented, "But in the strangest way it feels almost familiar."
Ling whispered in thought, "Interesting."
The two beyblades, with the power of their respective bitbeasts Falborg and Beidectus, battled it out to make their way to the mini dish on the top of the tower. Getting there was easy enough, it was actually staying in the dish for the specified ten seconds that proved difficult. There was lots of struggling and shoving of beyblades. Bryan wasn't reluctant to use his power to call out orders to Falborg. However, Carey from the Creepy Crawlies was not pushover.
Carey commanded, "Beidectus, show yourself and lets put an end to this battle!" As soon as his command was heard the beyblade glowed with a bright red light and a spider-like bitbeast appeared from the bit chip.
"Bryan, meet Beidectus, the red back spider, his poison will stop you from defeating me!" Carey boasted.
Bryan frowned, "We'll see about that Carey." Then he shouted, "Falborg, attack the spider!"
Soon, the impressive falcon emerged from the beyblade and shrieked out in anger. The two bitbeasts rushed for the mini dish and hideous grinding sounds could be heard as the two battled it out within the mini dish.
"Ok Beidectus, it's time for the poison web!" Carey called out.
"What the-" Bryan was left speechless as he watched his bitbeast Falborg being consumed by what appeared to be a glowing red net. Falborg struggled to break loose but the more he struggled the weaker he seemed to become.
"Hahaha!!" Carey laughed hysterically, "The Poison web not only holds your bitbeast in but it also drains it of energy, hence the poison!"
Bryan was extremely mad, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, 'I refuse to lose to a mere arachnid!' he thought angrily. The pale boy's eyes suddenly opened wide and burned with rage as he screamed, "Falborg!!" The bitbeast had the same fiery look in his eyes as his master.
All of a sudden the Falcon broke out of the web and looked down on the now defenceless spider.
"Remember Carey, it is the bird that eats the spider..." Bryan spoke, more in control of himself. With that Falborg flew in for the attack, a powerful blow that caused the spider to retreat and the beyblade to be knocked out of the dish.
It was clear who the winner of this battle would be, but nevertheless they had to do the countdown for staying in the mini dish at the top of the tower.
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...and Bryan takes this round for the Demolition Boys!" DJ Jazzman called out. The spectators cheered, at least most of them did anyway.
"I thought Carey was going to win for sure when Beidectus had caught him in the web," Tyson said, disappointedly.
"Unfortunately, Falborg has gained a lot of power since we last encountered him," Kenny noted.
"You've got that right Chief, "Dizzi butted in, "His power levels were at the top of the scales!"
"This does not look good," Max commented.
"There is still a chance that the Demolition Boys will be defeated. After all, the third battle decides which team is victorious," Rei said.
Kai was in thought, as usual, 'I wonder who they'll put next. Spencer is the only other member left, so why do I have a feeling that the next contestant isn't him?'
