This is NTM again! Here it is folks, the next chapter. Also, I'm working on a TyKai Shounen-ai fic. . .so keep your eyes peeled! Oh, and I don't own Beyblade. . .I wish I did though.
Chapter 6: Qualifying Round: Dragon Rage!
"3. . .2. . .1. . .LET IT RIP!"
Ray and Takai released their Beyblades into the dish. The two Beyblades circled around each other around and around the dish.
"You attack first Ray. . ." said Takai.
"Oh no. . .I insist you go first. . ." said Ray.
"This looks like a showdown!" said DJ Strata.
SCRIPT MODE
Takai: Katsume! Attack!
Ray: Driger Go!
(The two Beyblades began attacking each other, sending sparks around the arena.)
Kyo: Waaaah!
Kimiko: Wow!
Ashura: Hmmm. . .
Ayane: Come on Ray. . .
Takai: Not bad. . .I can see why you are good Ray. . .
Ray: Thanks. . .
Takai: But I'm afraid. . .that it's not good enough. . .
Ray: What!
(Takai smirked and began to laugh.)
Takai: You're foolish to think you can beat me! I have the knowledge of all the moves of the Red Dragon style of martial arts! Let's see what you've got!
(Takai's Beyblade begins spinning around at light speeds in the dish.)
Ayane: gasp
Kyo: Ayane? What's up?
Ayane: So much power. . .I feel something coming from within Takai's Beyblade. . .Ray better be prepared. . .
(Takai smiled and held his sword, pointing the blade towards Ray.)
Takai: You're mine! Katsume! Dragon Encircle!
(A giant white flame envelops the Beyblade.)
Ayane: No. . .
Ashura: It's over. . .He's lost. . .
(Ashura stood up and walked away.)
Ashura: I'm going to train. . .See you later. . .
(Takai stared at Ray, an evil smile across his face.)
Takai: Behold the ultimate attack. . .The Ring of the Dragon Flame! No one has ever escaped this attack! Face it Ray! You're finished!
(Ray smirked.)
Ray: I'm glad. . .because I guess I'll be the first then! DRIGER!
(The Beyblade began twirling around in the dish.)
Takai: What? Two can play at this game! KATSUME!
(Ayane stood up.)
Ayane: Ray!
(A green light surrounded Ray's Beyblade.)
Ray: GATLING CLAW!
(The Beyblade went into overdrive and started hacking and slashing up Takai's Beyblade.)
Takai: Impossible! How can you attack so fast? Wait a minute. . .
(He turned to Ayane, who's eyes have turned a piercing blue.)
Takai: That girl. . .Why is she staring at me? And what happened to her eyes?
(Ray's Beyblade knocks Takai's Beyblade out of the arena.)
Takai: No! Katsume! How. . .You!
(He begans walking towards Ayane, who has normal eyes now.)
Ayane: Wha. . .What are you doing?
(He grabs Ayane by her hair.)
Takai: Don't tell me that! I saw you! Why were you staring at his Beyblade with your eyes?
Ayane: Let me go! I don't know what you are talking about!
Ray: Hey! Leave her alone!
END SCRIPT MODE
Takai still held Ayane by her hair.
"I want the truth!" he said. "How did you do that? How did you do that! TELL ME!"
"Get your hands off my sister!"
Ashura appeared, carrying his wooden sword.
"Not until I find out how she did that thing with the eyes!" said Takai.
Ashura grabbed Takai by the shirt.
"Let go of her. . ." he said in a calm voice. "Or I'll make you let her go. . ."
Takai growled and let go of Ayane, who fell to the ground.
"Ashura. . .don't hurt him. . .He—"
"I'll speak to you later Ayane. . ."
"Ashura. . ."
"GO!"
Ayane stood up and went to the bench.
"Uhhh. . .Okay then!" said DJ Strata. "So . . . after that amazing display of Beyblading skill . . . Ray pulls out a win against Takai and White Tiger X has qualified!"
Silence filled the arena.
"Okay. . ." said the lady. "Ashura Destiny and Bit Hunters come forward, and the Red Dragons must leave immediately . . . White Tiger X may go sit down on the side benches.
"FINALLY IT'S OUR TURN!"
Kyo hopped off the bench and began walking. Kimiko happily followed him carrying her baton and ribbon.
"Okay. . ." said Ashura. "I want this to be a good match, so I want Kimiko, Kyo, and I to blade. . ."
"What!" said Ayane. "Ashura, I can blade! Just give me a chance! I can--"
"Sorry Ayane. . .but it's too much of a risk. . ."
"But Ashura. . ."
"NO! I SAID NO AND THAT'S FINAL!"
He pointed to the benches.
"Now go sit down, in case of a tie. . .then you can Beyblade. . .but only then. . ."
Ayane ran off, tears in her eyes.
"Ashura you're so mean!" she cried.
She sat on the bench, tears delicately falling down her face.
Ray stared at Ayane, and wished that he could go and comfort her.
/How can such a sweet girl have such a cruel brother/ he thought.
Kyo growled.
"That is just mean. . .Ashura has gone too far!"
Kimiko smiled.
"Don't worry. . .I've got a plan. . ."
She whispered to Kyo and he smiled.
"Great idea Kimiko, Let's do it!"
The lady cleared her throat and held out her clipboard.
"Will the first competitors please come to the dish?" she said.
Fang smiled and walked up.
"Bring it on!" he said.
Kimiko smiled and walked up to the dish.
"I'm first!" she said. "I'm ready to kick your butt this time!"
She held out her baton launcher and hooked up her Beyblade.
"Cherry Blossom Transform!"
She began glowing pink and sakura petals surrounded her. When the petals vanished she appeared in a little purple and pink costume with an image of a Sakura flower on it.
"Ready!" she said.
"Okay!" said DJ Strata. "The first match will be against Kimiko of Ashura Destiny and Fang of Bit Hunters!"
SCRIPT MODE
(Fang eyes Kimiko.)
Fang: You couldn't beat me in the forest. . .so what makes you think you can beat me here?
Kimiko: Ayane always told me to never give up. . .and I take Ayane's advice to my heart.
(Fang pointed at her costume.)
Fang: Nice outfit. . .I thought this was a Beyblade competition not a dance competition!
Kimiko: This is my battle costume. . .and don't you forget it!
DJ Str: Alright! Are you ready?
(Fang took out his launcher and hooked up his Beyblade.)
Fang: Let's go!
Kimiko: Let's do it!
DJ Str: Then 3. . .2. . .1. . .LET IT RIP!
(They released their beyblades into the dish.)
Kimiko: Let's go Sakura Moth!
Fang: Go my Black Panther!
(They began attacking each other at once, hacking at each other's Beyblade.)
Kimiko: You've gotten a lot stronger!
Fang: So have you I guess. . .
Kimiko: You bet! But I'm tired of playing, don't you agree?
Fang: Of course. . .let's get to business!
Kimiko: KYAAAAAH!
Fang: YAAAAAAH!
(They both kicked in the engine gear and began to attack each other even faster than before.)
Ashura: Something's wrong. . .Kimiko should have finished this. . .but why hasn't she?
Kyo: Beats me!
Ayane: I don't have a clue either…
(Kimiko held her baton launcher out.)
Kimiko: Let's end this!
(She began to twirl her baton, and her Beyblade began to glow.)
Kimiko: Here it comes! SAKURA WHIRLWIND!
(The Beyblade began spinning faster, and Sakura Moth rose from her Beyblade. Cherry blossom petals surrounded her and her Bit beast.)
Fang: Ha! You call that an attack! My turn! PANTHER FURY!
(His Beyblade began glowing and Black Panther Rose from it. His Beyblade began attacking Kimiko's Beyblade at a quick pace.)
Kimiko: WAAAAAAH!
(Kimiko lost her balance and fell to the ground, Sakura Moth stopped spinning.)
DJ Str: Wow! Looks like Sakura Moth was vulnerable during that preparation to attack and left it wide open for Fang to attack! That means that Fang wins and gets a point for the Bit Hunters!
(Fang raised his fist into the air.)
Fang: YES!
(Kimiko looked like she was going to burst into tears.)
Ayane: Kimiko!
(She got up from the bench and ran to her.)
Ayane: Kimiko. . .are you okay?
Kimiko: I. . .I lost. . .
(Ayane embraced Kimiko, wiping the tears from her partner's face.)
Ayane: You did your best and that's all that matters. . .I don't want you to get upset because of that. . .
(Kimiko wiped her eyes and smiled at Ayane. She closed her eyes and changed back into her old clothes.)
Kimiko: Okay Ayane-chan! I feel a lot better!
(Kimiko left Ayane and ran back to the benches. Ayane caught Ray and he smiled at her. Ayane quickly smiled back, trying not to let Ashura see her.)
DJ Str: Okay! Let's keep it going and bring on our next competitors!
(Talon stood up and walked to the Beystadium.)
Talon: I shall not lose. . .
(Ashura get up from the bench and walked towards the arena.)
Ashura: I'll have to make up for Kimiko's loss.
DJ Str: Alright! The next match will be Ashura, the captain of Ashura Destiny, and Talon from the Bit Hunters.
(They both took out their Beyblades and hooked them up to their launchers.)
Talon: You're mine!
Ashura: Don't count on it. . .
DJ Str: 3. . .2. . .1. . .LET IT RIP!
(They released their Beyblades into the dish.)
Talon: SNIPER HAWK ATTACK!
Ashura: Let's fight Aminaru. . .
(They began attacking each other at full force.)
Talon: TALON SLASH!
Ashura: Evade. . .
(Ashura's Beyblade missed Talon's attack.)
Talon: Why you. . .again Sniper Hawk! TALON SLASH!
Ashura: Evade. . .and prepare Aminaru. . .
(Ashura's Beyblade began to glow, as it evaded the attack.)
Ashura: You're mine! AMINARU RISE!
(The Beyblade flashed and a giant midnight blue dragon with silver eyes appeared. The dragon's armor was silver and there was silver spines on its long tail. The dragon circled around Ashura and roared.)
Ashura: Prepare for your end! Aminaru! LUNAR ECLIPSE!
(The moon appeared behind Ashura and his Beyblade began shining with a silvery light. The light enveloped and shot out, surrounding the arena.)
Talon: What the?
DJ Str: WHOA!
Ayane: Brother. . .don't. . .
(When the light cleared, Talon and Ashura's Beyblades were no where to be seen.)
Talon: What the? Where's my Beyblade?
(Ashura smirked.)
Ashura: Up there. . .
(He pointed to the sky, where Ashura's Beyblade was rapidly attacking Talon's Beyblade in midair.)
Talon: Impossible! How. . .How could you. . .there's no way. . .
Ashura: Let this be a lesson to anyone…Don't mess with the Yagami family and the Three Legendary Dragons! End this Aminaru!
Ayane: NO ASHURA! DON'T DO IT!
(Her eyes changed and she stared at the two Beyblades. Two pairs of transparent wings appeared on her back. Ray saw Ayane, noticed the wings, and gasped.)
Ray: No way. . .it can't be. . .those wings. . .
(An image of a pretty girl with piercing blue eyes and four angel wings appeared in his mind.)
Ray: She. . .she's the one from my dream? Ayane. . .is the girl? No, it can't be!
(Mariah and Lee stared at Ray with a confused look on their faces.)
Mariah: What's Ray looking at Lee?
Lee: I can't tell. . .I think it's that girl. . .
Mariah: Why is she standing?
Lee: I don't know. . .
(Ashura's Beyblade slammed Talon's Beyblade into the ground, wrecking the Beystadium.)
Talon: No!
(Talon's Beyblade stopped spinning on impact.)
Ashura: What? It can't be! You should have been destroyed! That blast should have shattered your Beyblade!
(He turned to look at Ayane, who was normal.)
Ayane: What's wrong Ashura?
(He picked up his Beyblade and left.)
Ashura: Nothing. . .
DJ Str: Okay! That was amazing! Ashura quickly took out Talon in no time! That means that Ashura Destiny and the Bit Hunters are tied with one win each!
(Ashura sat down and closed his eyes.)
Ashura: Finish this Kyo. . .
(Kyo stood up and smiled.)
Kyo: You got it Ashura! I'll kick the Bit Hunters to Timbuktu!
(He winked at Kimiko, who winked back.)
DJ Str: Okay, it's time for round three!
(Kyo walked up to the dish.)
Kyo: I'm ready to rock!
(Striker lifted his head and stared at Kyo.)
Striker: Okay. . .I'll fight you. . .
(He headed toward the arena.)
DJ Str: Okay, the final match will be between Kyo of Ashura Destiny, and Striker of the Bit Hunters!
That's all for now! Sorry that took so long, please read and review! Flames will be used for making smores! NYAN!
