Chapter 23: The Final Battle PT. 1

"Welcome back Ladies and gents! Today is the final battle of the tournament. We have The Bladebreakers vs. The Alaula Bladers! Now I bring up Mr.Dickinson to discuss how this last round will work." Dj Jazzman said handing the microphone to Mr.Dickinson. "This Tournament has been a great one. We are going to try something new in this last round. Every blader on the team will play and two bladers will go twice. The first battle is a tag-team match. Each team will pick to bladers to go up and battle. After that we have four one on one battles. There will be a 15 minute break between every battle for the players to take a break and talk about strategy and such." Mr.Dickinson explained.

"Okay teams. Pick your first to bladers." Dj Jazzman said. "A Tag-team match?" Tyson asked. "We never practiced for this!" Kenny said. "Well who's gonna go?" Hilary asked. "Well I think our best bet is defiantly having Kai out there. Who else?" Kenny said. "I will." Ray said. "Ok you two. Go get em'!" Hilary said in a cheery voice.

"So we have Ray and Kai vs. Blair and Trisha!" Dj Jazzman said as the four walked up to the stadium. "3...2...1...Let it Rip!" Dj Jazzman said counting down.

All four bladers blade landed swiftly on the stadium. Trisha and Blair's blades were blading next to each other spinning quickly. Kai and Ray's on the other hand were a little on the rough side. They were having trouble staying together. "Having trouble? We warned you to practice this. Let's go Trish." Blair said smirking. "Twin dive bomb!" They both said in unison. Both of their blades went into the air and landed directly on top of the opposing blades. "Fire wall!" Blair said. "Electric Claw!" Trisha said. Their attacks separated the two blades from each other making it a one on one battle with their opponents. "Let's finish them." Blair said. "Double attack!" The said in unison. "Driger!" Ray said. His blade moved out of the way of Trisha's part of the attack and countered Blair's part. "Nice one." Kai said. "Now let's play their game. Driger! Tiger claw." Ray said. "Dranzer! Flame Saber!" Kai said. "Finally you guys attack." Trisha said. "Now the real battle begins. Trish be my guest." Blair said. Trisha's blade spun ahead leaving the who bladebreakers blades in the middle. "Ok. Now!" Blair said. Both of them rammed into the blades at the same time grinding into them. "Attack!" All four bladers said. There was a large blast of wind blowing everyone back a bit. Smoke covered the area. Finally you could see the results. "And it's a tie!" Dj Jazzman said. The crowd cheered loudly for both teams.

"Great job!" Blair said holding out her hand for a high five. "Yah it was a great battle. You guys did great to end it in a tie." Trisha said turning towards Kai and Ray. Ray gave a smile and nodded. Kai merely acknowledged the compliment. "Next we have the single battles. Coming up next after a break." DJ Jazzman said.

Trisha and Blair along with the rest of the team went to the locker room. "Ok so the rest are single battles. Ally your gonna go first, then Jessie. Trisha your after. I'll go last." Blair said. "Who are we each up against?" Ally asked. Ally your against Max. Jess your against Tyson. Trish is against Ray and I'm with Kai." Blair explained. "Okiedokie! Lets get these battles going!" Jessie said smiling. "Um... Any type of strategy?" Ally asked. "Um.. No just try your best." Blair said. "Calling teams. Battles about to start." Someone said over the intercom. "Lets go girls." Trisha said with a wide smile.

"Ok Now we have Ally verses Max!" Dj Jazzman said. Both of the bladers walked up and got ready to launch. 3...2...1...Let it Rip! Both bladers launched their beyblades into the stadium and circled around each other. Max's blade was headed for the middle for defense mode. "That was a given one Max. That's why your gonna have a rocky start. Hopperis. Hyper bounce." Ally said. Her blade jumped into the air and landed on top of Max's. His blade was tossed to the other side of the stadium.

'Sometimes wrong? Wheres Kai?' Blair thought looking at the other side of the stadium where the Bladebreakers bench was. They were all there but Kai. 'Kai wouldn't just leave.' Then it dawned on her. 'Boris.' Blair thought. "Trisha your in charge. I have to go talk to someone." Blair said getting up to leave. "What! You can't just leave!" Trisha said. "I'll be back." Blair said.

Blair ran out of that part of the stadium. And was headed for the stands. 'Where is he?' Blair thought looking around the part of the stands where he was supposed to be seated.'There.' She thought finally spotting him. Boris looked up trying to act surprised. "Blair you should be down there cheering your team on. What brings you up here?" Boris asked. "May I speak with you." Blair asked. "Alone." Blair added. They walked out into the empty halls. "What did you do with Kai?" Blair demanded. "What?" Boris asked playing dumb. "Don't play dumb. I know this is just a part of your sick plan. Where is he?" Blair asked. "Even if you found him it would be to late. Anyways. You have a battle down below." Boris said. "Well so does he. If you wanted us to help you then you shouldn't have done this. Were gone Boris." Blair said starting to walk away. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Boris asked holding up a walkie talkie. Blair growled and looked down. "Ok I won't. But if you do anything to him. Your in deep trouble." Blair said smirking.

She walked back to where the battle was still raging on. "Trisha. Boris has Kai. I'm going after him. But you guys all have to stall until I get back." Blair said. "What? Are you sure you know what your doing?" Trisha asked. "Boris thought that having Kai in his clutches he could control me. But he's wrong. He wants us to win. Then he'll use us for other things. I'll be back. Just stall as long as you can." Blair said. She snuck out of the building so that Boris wouldn't see here.

"Odds are is that Kai is at the place where we trained with someone guarding him." Blair said to herself. She quickly neared the place and walked in unnoticed. Sure enough standing up chained to a pole was Kai. But there was no one in site. 'This is too easy. Where is everyone?' Blair thought. Kai the whole time was looking down towards the ground but out of the corner of his eye he could see Blair. 'Dranzer tell Flare to tell Blair that the 'guard' watching me are hiding around. She has to be careful because they probably already see her.' Kai said to Dranzer. Yes. Dranzer replied. Blair. Kai said that the guard are hiding and probably already see you. He said be careful. Flare said. "Thanks." Blair replied. 'Then I'll just walk up and pretend I don't know that.' Blair said.

Blair simply walked up to Kai and started to work on breaking the chains or at least getting through the lock. "What are you doing? Waiting for them to catch you too?" Kai asked glancing behind him. "Sure. They can try. But they won't come close." Blair said smirking. Just then a figure jumped down from one of the rafters. "Don't think about it Blair. I know Boris just warned you so step away now." Kira said advancing towards her. Her blade was raised. Blair smirked again. "Go ahead launch." Blair said. "If you say so." Kira said. 'She's dumber then I thought.' Blair thought. She held lock to the chain directly in front of the launch. Her blade broke the lock and Blair quickly unwrapped the chains. "Oh my Kira. You just helped me. Boris won't be very happy with you. But Thanks!" Blair said with a large smile. Kira ran over to block the door. To prevent escaping. Just then Kiro, Erica, and Kin came out and helped. Or so they all thought.

"Now." Kin said quietly. Erica and Kiro grabbed both of Kira's arms and pulled her away from the door. "You guys get going. We'll handle Kira." Kin said opening the door. "Thanks." Blair said.

"How did you know I was there?" Kai asked as they ran towards the stadium. "Well when I noticed you were missing I knew Boris had something to do with it. I asked him and he tried to get me to stop from getting to you but that failed horribly. As you can see. He was trying to make my team win by default. Be must know what the turnouts are gonna be. I say we give him a show." Blair said.

Once at the stadium it was a break and it was now going onto the 3rd battle."Blair your ok!" Jessie said. "So what's going on?" Blair asked. "It's my turn. Ally and Jessie both lost. So as of right now the bladebreakers are winning. Did you find Kai?" Trisha asked. "Yah. Were all alright. Pretty much Boris is gonna freak when he sees Kai back. But he won't be able to get any contact with Kira." Blair said. "You mean Kira from that other team is working for him too?" Ally asked. "Yah. But apparently the other three are on our side. Now we better get out there." Blair said.

"Ok Bladebreakers are in the lead. Can the Alaula bladers catch up? this battle will tell. Now we have Trisha verses Ray. 3...2...1...Let it Rip!" Dj Jazzman said.

Both blades landed in the stadium and spun around with great speed. "Lionaris! Attack!" Trisha said. Her blade sped up and hit Ray's pushing him forward. "Driger Power Claw!" Ray said trying to knock Trisha off balance. "Lionaris Block him with your Electric claw. Give him a real shocker." Trisha said smirking.Both of the attacks met but the electricity send Driger into the air and was soaring close to the edge of the stadium. "Now Finish him. Lightning Strike!" Trisha said. Keeping her blade on the ground her blade sent a bolt and made Driger fly out of the stadium. "And Alaula win's this one. Next up we have Blair vs. Kai. Will it become a tie or will the Bladebreakers take it." Dj Jazzman said. "Now for a short break." Jazzman said finishing.

"Yes! Were back in the game! Well sorta." Ally said giving Trisha a high-five. "Whoo hoo!" Jessie said with a large smile. "Great job Trisha." Blair said. "Um.. Blair I couldn't help but notice but Kai wasn't with his team." Trisha said. "He's hiding out. We don't want Boris to noticed yet. But He'll come for the match." Blair said. "Oh alright." Ally said. They then walked out of the room and headed for the stadium.

(Bladebreakers)

"Um guys we have a major problem if you haven't noticed." Kenny said worriedly. "What?" Tyson asked. "Tyson take noticed of your surroundings. Kai's Missing!" Hilary said. "Oh yeah. What happened to him?" Tyson asked. "He disappeared." Max said. Then the door opened. "I'm right here." Kai said. "Kai! Where were you?" Hilary asked. "Couple difficulties. Tell you later. Let's get out there." Kai said.

"Ok Everyone were down the the final battle or battles. Can Blair tie the teams up or will Kai win it for the Bladebreakers? Now lets get started. Bladers ready? 3...2...1...Let it Rip!" Dj Jazzman announced.

Both blades were launched and hit while in mid-air. The impact nearly shook the whole stadium. Blair smirked as her blade circled around the stadium. "Get ready to play fire with fire. Flare! Fire Illusion!" Blair said. It looked like her blade multiplied through the many flames. 'Now.' Blair said to her bitbeast. Flare came out and hit Dranzer making him fall off balance. "Let's heat things up shall we? Dranzer Fire Arrow!" Kai said. "Dodge and attack." Blair said simply. Her blade dodged the attack and came out from behind. Dranzer then flew out of the stadium.

"And Blair ties it. Were down to the final battle! A tie-breaker with Blair and Kai!" DJ Jazzman announced loudly. "See told you I would win." Blair said smiling proudly. "Not this time." Kai said picking up Dranzer. "3...2...1...Let it Rip!" Dj Jazzman said.

'Kai was not supposed to show up. I'll deal with Kira later. But no doubt that Blair will win. Especially with her new attack. And when she does I can use her team for my ways.' Boris thought watching the new match.

The blades her slamming against each other non gaining any ground. It was like they knew each others every move. Both bladers were making their blades attack again and again. The battle was going on longer then the previous one along with longer then any of the other battles of the tournament. Finally both blader were starting to get tired and started to try finish it. "Dranzer! Flame Saber!" Kai said. "Here we go. Flare Cross...Fire!" Blair exclaimed. Her blade performed the attack making a collision with Dranzer's attack. 'Cross Fire? That's why she was using Boris.' Kai thought watching the power of the attack. There was no doubt that there was going to be damage on his blade that time. With that thought both blades flew out of the stadium at the same time landing beside their owners feet. The stadium was torn up a lot and didn't look like it could hold another battle. "And it's a tie! This next battle is a winner take all. That is if Mr.Dickinson approves the battle." Dj Jazzman said.

Mr.Dickinson looked at the two competitors who were waiting for an answer. Both seemed exhausted. It reminded him of last years tournament. Kai and Tyson both wanted to battle leaving with one winner. Odds are that is what it will be again. After all last year did turn out alright. "Battle approved. But we will give each blader a couple minutes rest." Mr.Dickinson said.

(Alaula)

"Blair you said you wouldn't use that!" Trisha said. "I said I wouldn't use it that time but I couldn't promise you about not using it later. And see I'm ok." Blair said. "Yah but think if you didn't use it you might have been able to be at an advantage in this next round. You wouldn't be as tired as Kai." Trisha said. "So what were both tired. Which means both blades will be equal. You just have to wait for the right moment to strike." Blair said. "You cannot do that attack again Blair." Trisha warned. "I can handle it." Blair said giving a smile. "Just don't do anything dumb ok?" Trisha said. "Trisha. Blair says she can handle it. Let's trust her on this one. There's gonna be another battle and we can't help that. If she ends up using that attack then oh well. Blair knows what she's doing." Jessie said. Blair gave a smile. Blair knew that Trisha was just looking out for her and that she was worried, but Jessie was right. That attack is my final attack. If I think I would need it then I'll use it. If I don't need it then why try? This was coming down to the line. The tournament would soon have a winner. "Wish me luck." Blair said walking back out to the stadium. 'Good luck...Blair. Be careful.' Trisha thought.

"Ok here we go again. Down to the final and last match of this tournament. Blair against Kai in a winner-take-all match. You two ready? 3...2...1...Let it Rip!" Dj Jazzman said. Both blades landed in the stadium. Both striking the opposing blade with much power. Each hit shook the stadium. "Flare!" Blair called, calling out to her bitbeast for help. "Dranzer!" Kai called doing the same. Both flaming phoenix's rose from the blades and gave a loud screech. They were attacking each other viciously trying to gain ground in the match. 'Let's try something new Flare. Defense mode' Blair told her bitbeast. Her blade drew back from attacking and stood still on one side of the stadium. 'What is she doing?' Kai asked himself. Kai made Dranzer attack Flare head on a bunch of times but every time Flare easily dodges the blue blade. 'Okay Flare. This next one push him out.' Blair said. 'She's telling Flare to do things in mind so that I can't figure out. But why is she in defense mode?' Kai thought watching his blade miss the target. "Now!" Blair suddenly said. As Dranzer attacked Flare was hit but used the amount of power put into the attack and doubled it as a counter attack. Dranzer was now heading towards the rim.

"Dranzer fly up." Kai said. Dranzer flew up and around Flare landing on the opposite side. Wobbling a lot, Dranzer was trying to gain balance. Flare took a sharp turn to avoid flying out of the stadium. "Nice strategy. Never would have thought of that one. But it's time to end this." Kai said. Both blades went to opposite sides of the stadium getting ready for the final blow. "Dranzer! Flame Saber!" Kai said. His blade headed forward. "Flare. Cross Fire!" Blair said as her blade lunged forwards as well.
