NTM here! Not much to do! So, how about another chappy for you guys. . .just because I feel like it! Oh. . .and I don't own Beyblade. . .I do own my characters though! HAH!
Ch. 5: Qualifying Round: Bit Battle!
"So. . .this is it. . .It comes all down to this. . .you and me. . .one battle. . ."
"KYO! GET OUT FROM IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR!"
Ashura grabbed Kyo's ear and dragged him away from the mirror. Kimiko and Ayane just smacked their foreheads.
"You guys are a pain. . ." said Ayane.
"Ashy-san and Kyo-san need some therapy!" said Kimiko.
The two of them laughed.
"Ha ha. . .very funny. . ." said Ashura. "Let's get inside that arena. . ."
They entered the hallway going towards the arena.
"Now. . ." he said. "I want all of you on your best behavior. . .No funny business."
Kyo yawned.
"Okay Ashura. . .no funny business. . ."
"I mean it. . ."
They entered the arena and was greeted by the blonde haired lady from the registration desk.
"Welcome to the arena. As you can see, this is a private round, so there are no people here except me and the other teams. Also, this is a private tournament, and only four teams have qualified for the match. Don't expect this to happen in any other tournament, this is for an exhibition tournament."
Ashura nodded.
"We understand. . .so where are the others?"
"They will be here any moment. . .you will just have to wait."
The four of them sat on the bench and waited.
"BOOOOOORING!"
Kimiko began twirling her ribbon around.
"I'm getting tired. . ." she said. "Is it time yet?"
"Almost Kimiko. . ."said Ashura.
DING DONG!
The other three teams appeared through the hallway. The Red Dragons walked in synchronization and held different types of ninja weapons. White Tiger X came in next; Ayane looked at Ray and smiled, and he would have smiled back if it wouldn't for her brother glaring daggers at him. The other team wore black trenchcoats and sunglasses, Ayane gasped.
"You!" she said. "How dare you show your face again!"
The leader removed her glasses, and it was Viper.
"Well well well. . ." she said. "If it isn't the little princess! I didn't expect you to be at this tournament. . .oh well, my victory will be even sweeter now that I get to battle you!"
Ayane stared at Viper, her fists clenched.
"Okay. . ." said the lady. "Since there is four teams, there will be two matches. The first match will be against White Tiger X and the Red Dragon Dojo. The second match. . .Ashura Destiny will go against the Bit Hunters. White Tiger X and Red Dragons may take their positions on the main platform, the other two teams wait on the benches."
"Hey! Wait for me!"
A girl who looked a lot like DJ Jazzman came running onto the platform.
"Better late than never. . ."said the lady. "Everyone, this is DJ Strata. . ."
"She looks like the other DJ!" said Kimiko.
DJ Strata sighed.
"That's because he is my brother. . .and I'm teaming up with him to referee the BBA tournament. . .I'm here to ref this leg of the competition!"
The lady grabbed DJ Strata by the arm.
"Okay DJ. . .you've shown off enough for today. . .let's just get this round started. . ."
"Okay lady! No problem! This DJ needs to practice anyway. . ."
She reached out from behind her back and pulled out a microphone.
"OKAY!" she screamed. "The first match is—"
"Miss Strata. . ." said the lady. "There is no need for the microphone. . ."
DJ laughed.
"Sorry! It's a habit! As I was saying. . .this is of course a qualifying round! The rules are simple. . .three bladers from each team will blade. . .the first team two win two matches qualifies for the tournament! You can win matches by ring out, spin out, or by knockout by breaking the opponent's Beyblade. We'll be using a simple Beystadium, nothing fancy."
She took in a breath!
"Okay! Let's get started! The first match is between China's best Beybladers, White Tiger X, and the elite ninja team, the Red Dragons!"
The two teams nodded, and stepped up to the platform.
"Alright. . ." said the lady. "Who will be going first up?"
Gary stepped up to the Beystadium.
"I'll blade for my team!" he said.
A girl with her hair in a braid stepped up as well.
"Very well. . ." she said. I accept your challenge. . ."
DJ Strata smiled.
"Well then, the first match is between Gary of White Tiger X, and Ayume of Red Dragons!"
SCRIPT MODE
DJ Str: Alright! Let's get this party started! Are you ready to rock?
Gary: You bet!
(Ayume just nods)
DJ Str: 3. . .2. . .1. . .Hey! Are you guys blading or not?
(They held up their Beyblades and placed them in their launchers. Ayume's launcher looked like a Bo Staff.)
Ayume: Hyah!
DJ Str: 3. . .2. . .1. . .LET IT RIIIIIIIIIIIIP!
(Ayume began twirling her staff and Gary pulled the ripchord, releasing their Beyblades into the dish.)
Gary: GALZZY!
Ayume: Mirai! Attack!
(They began to clash in the stadium, knocking each one back and forth. . .)
Gary: ALRIGHT! KEEP GOING GALZZY!
Ayume: This is boring me. . .time for some real fun. . .Mirai!
(Ayume's Beyblade began to glow, and a small furry animal leaped out of the beyblade. It was white with black spots and it had a long furry tail.)
Ayume: Time to play Big Bear! Ancient Ninja Technique! MULTIPLY! Mirai! TRIPLE TERROR!
(The Beyblade began to glow bright blue and transformed into three beyblades.)
Ayume: HAH! This battle's over!
Gary: Not yet! GALZZY!
(His Beyblade began to glow red and a giant bear appeared. He roared and began running at the Beyblades.)
Gary: BEAR RUSH ATTACK!
(The Beyblade knocks all three Beyblades in one swoop out of the Beystadium.)
Ayume: No way!
DJ Str: Awesome! Galzzy has knocked Mirai out of the stadium! So that means that White Tiger X's Gary wins!
(Gary raised a fist into the air.)
Gary: ALRIGHT!
Mariah: Nice moves Gary!
Kevin: You sure showed them!
Lee: Well done Gary. . .
(Gary turns around.)
Gary: I'm hungry.
(Everyone anime falls. Ray laughs.)
Ray: Well, I promise to make you a big lunch!
END SCRIPT MODE
Kyo watched, fascinated at the battle.
"I'm impressed . . . these White Tigers are pretty good!"
Ayane smiled.
"You bet!" she said. "I hope that we get to face them! It might be fun!"
"Yeah!" said Kimiko. "I want a piece of the action!"
"He was VERY lucky. . ."
They turned to Ashura, who was watching, unimpressed.
"What do you mean Ashura?" said Kyo.
Ashura stared at White Tiger X.
"That shot was pure luck. . ." he said. "If Galzzy had missed it, then he would have crashed his Beyblade and the other opponent could easily gang up on him. . ."
Ayane sighed.
/Why do you have to be so mean Ashura/ she thought.
She stared at the team and smiled.
"Okay. . ." said the lady. "The competitors of the second round may step up to the dish. . ."
"Oh! Oh!" said Mariah. "Let me go next! I'm ready Lee!"
"Fine fine. . ." said Lee.
A boy with a ponytail smiled and stood up.
"I'm ready too. . ." he said.
"Alright!" said DJ Strata. "The second match has been decided, and it's between the feisty cat Mariah of White Tiger X, and the calm and collective Len of Red Dragons! Let's get ready to Beyblade!"
Ayume approached Len.
"No mercy Len. . ." she said. "No mercy. . ."
Ayane began to see a red aura surrounding Len.
"He may be calm and cool, but his power is red hot. . ."
Len smiled and offered a hand to Mariah.
"Shall we have a good match?" he said.
"You bet!" said Mariah.
They shook hands.
SCRIPT MODE
(Mariah and Len walked up to the dish.)
Mariah: Don't make this too easy okay!
Len: Don't worry. . .I won't!
(He takes out his Beyblade and launcher. His launcher looks like a pair of nunchucks.)
Len: Let's go!
DJ Str: Alright! Are you ready?
Mariah: Let's go!
(She puts her Beyblade in her launcher, readies the ripcord, and holds in out in front of the Beystadium.)
DJ Str: 3. . .2. . .1. . .LET IT RIIIIIIIIIIIP!
(Len began twirling the weapon around and Mariah pulled the ripcord, releasing the Beyblades into the dish.)
Mariah: Alright! Go Galux!
Len: No mercy. . .Let's fight Nuriko!
(Len's Beyblade begins circling Mariah's Beyblade.)
Len: Quick Victory! Ancient Ninja Technique! INVISIBILITY! Nuriko! MYSTIC VANISH!
(Len's Beyblade disappears.)
Mariah: Wha? Where is it? I can't see his Beyblade!
Len: You can't see it? Oh dear! Then how can you defend!
(He stares at the confused girl.)
Len: Come on Kitty Cat, can't you find me?
(Her eyes slit, and she growls.)
Mariah: CAT BITES ATTACK!
(The Beyblade begins to attack.)
Len: Missed me!
Mariah: Grrrrr. . .ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!
(The Beyblade goes into a fit of rage and viciously begins attacking the stadium.)
Len: End this Nuriko! Attack and knock her out!
(Nuriko appears and hits Mariah's Beyblade, knocking it out of the stadium. . .)
Mariah: No! Galux!
(The Beyblade falls next to her.)
END SCRIPT MODE
Len smiled and his Beyblade returned to his hand.
"WOW!" said DJ Strata. "Len used his Ninja skills to trick Mariah into beating herself into submission! This means that Len and Nuriko have won one for the Red Dragons!"
Ayane stood up.
"You cheated!" she yelled.
"Ayane. . ." said Ashura.
"Ashura! There is no way that he could have turned that Beyblade invisible!"
"Ayane Sohryu Yagami. . .sit down!"
She sat on the bench angrily, Ray turned around to look at her.
"What are you looking at?" said Ashura.
Ray quickly turned back around.
The lady cleared her throat.
"Okay. . .so it's one point for White Tiger x, and one point for Red Dragons. The next match will determine who will qualify for the tournament."
Ray stared at the other team with slited eyes.
"I will fight next. . ." he said.
He started walking towards the Beystadium.
/What happened to him? He's changed. . ./ thought Ayane.
A boy with spiky brown hair stood up from the bench.
"Very well. . ." he said. "I guess I'll fight. . ."
He stood up and walked up to the Beystadium, until he was on the other side of Ray, staring into his eyes.
"Uhhh. . .Okay then!" said DJ Strata. "The third match will be against Ray of White Tiger X and Takai of Red Dragons!"
Takai held a black sheath containing a sword.
"I will avenge the dishonor your team brought to my family. . ."
He grabbed the black hilt and unsheathed the sword.
"No way!" said Kyo. "It's a sword launcher!"
"Neat!" said Kimiko. "Can I get one of those?"
Ashura growled.
"Somebody's jealous. . ." said Kyo.
Ashura whacked Kyo on the head.
Ayane looked worried.
"Ashura. . .I sense immense power coming from both of them. . ."
"Don't worry Ayane. . .we'll see what happens. . ."
She kept her eyes fixed on Ray.
/Please be okay. . ./ she thought.
SCRIPT MODE
(Ray and Takai stared at each other.)
Takai: You're mine. . .
Ray: Bring it on. . .
DJ Str: Okay! Let's get this party started!
(Ray took out his launcher and hooked up his Beyblade.)
Ray: You're going down!
DJ Str: 3. . .
(Takai took out his Beyblade.)
DJ Str: 2. . .
(He hooked it up to his sword launcher.)
DJ Str: 1. . .
(They both held their launchers over the dish.)
DJ Str: LET IT RIP!
(They pulled the ripchords, and the Beyblades began soaring into the dish.)
SORRY! But that's all for this chapter! If you want to see the Beybattle between Takai and Ray, you'll have to wait a little longer. . .until next time!
Coming up Next Chapter: Ray and Takai battle it out! Plus; Ayane, Kyo, Ashura, and Kimiko take on the Bit Hunters! Next up- Ch. 6: Qualifying Round: Dragon Rage!
