Chapter Seventeen

BioVolt Kissed Goodbye

The rest of the night was, well, pretty insane. With Carmen there, that is.

"Someone get this girl a coffee, she needs to relax!" Max said.

"A coffee! YOU'RE MAD! A coffee is going to make things worse!" Alex exclaimed.

"YES! A COFFEE! COFFEE!" Carmen yelled, then Rei tackled her.

"No coffee for you!" he said, waving a finger. Carmen pouted.

"Let them make out, it'll be fun to watch." Drzazga said. Tyson didn't say anything. Carmen slipped out from under Rei.

"Long live my posse!" she declared.

"Oh, and Drzazga, please. Don't be a four year old!" she added. Drzazga's face went red.

"But I'm a six year old that acts like a four year old!" he said. Carmen shrugged.

"Aright kindergartens! We've got to go and figure out how we'll play tomorrow!" she called. Her team moan in unison, then followed her.

-X-

The next day was just something else. Their fans were screaming around them, and their opponent on the opposite side of the arena. The lights suddenly went on, and DJ began.

"Welcome! I'm DJ, and we're in Manchester, England for the final spins! Today's match is BioVolt VS. The Demons!" he said loudly.

"This match will be very, very different from the others! All three rounds will consist of the same people! So, the same representatives will spin for each round! Now, let me give to you, Carmen of The Demons and Bryan of BioVolt!" DJ added. introducing the players. Carmen stepped up to the arena, and set eyes on her opponent. The purple haired boy stared back.

"Prepared to lose?" he asked.

"Good, you're prepared to lose. Just what I wanted." Carmen said, turning his question into something a bit like a burn or dis.

"Bladers, get ready!" DJ said. Both players were determined, and got ready to blade.

"THREE, TWO, ONE!" DJ yelled.

"Let it rip!" both bladers yelled. Their blades hit the dish, but it seemed that Carmen was holding back. Bryan didn't seem amused.

"What's this? You're holding back!" he said testily.

"Exit - Stage left, that's where you're going!" Carmen hissed, and Soulbreather tore away after Falborg.

"Falborg!" Bryan yelled.

"Go for it, Soulbreather!" Carmen shouted. The two blades rampaged after each other.

"Falborg!" Bryan yelled again.

"Come on Soulbreather!" Carmen shouted. Both Soulbreather and Falborg tore pieces of armour off of each other, like wildcats fighting each other for the carcass of a Warthog.

Song did not fill the air, but only the shouts from the excited crowd. Half chanted 'Riley', while the other half chanted 'Bryan'.

"Carmen, why are you not singing? In each of your battles, you sing." Bryan said. Carmen looked at him.

"To start things off, call me Riley. Second, I decided not to sing tonight." she answered.

Bryan pouted slightly. "Why ever not?" he asked.

"You're not high classed. Only honourable teams get my singing." Carmen answered. Alex, Drzazga, Aaron, Nick and Sandra let out howls of laughter. The BioVolt Boys looked disgusted.

"Not high classed? We are Russians!" Bryan bellowed.

"Right, and I'm the Queen of England's daughter! Bow down to me!" she said sarcastically. Falborg and Soulbreather were both battered up horribly.

"Bryan, although BioVolt has made appearances in tournaments, The Demons have not. We stayed hidden amongst the crowd until we decided that our team stood a chance. Our team was formed far before the Championship Tournament that was held in Russia, when The Bladebreakers were made Champion." Carmen said blankly.

"I need to know this, why?" he asked.

"Because it may be useful to you when BioVolt falls to their knees in shame of losing to a girl." Carmen said blankly again. Bryan stared at her. Both blades tore away after each other.

"What do you mean?" Tala shouted from his seat.

"Shut it Ivanov." Carmen snapped.

"Shut yourself up, Riley!" Ian shouted.

"Up yours!" she shouted back.

"I worked hard to get my team and I where we are today. I didn't go to a scientist for help, nor did I go to some psycho on the street." Carmen said loudly.

"That's it! Enough of your nonsense! FALBORG!" Bryan yelled. Falborg collided into Soulbreather, knocking Carmen's blade off-balance. Carmen only stared, then raised her hands and untied her hair. Carmen's long raven black hair fell down, levelling at the knees. Her appearance now made her look more dead, than alive.

"Death Storm Attack... NOW!" Carmen bellowed, seeing the perfect moment to attack. Soulbreather now regained balance, and collided back into Falborg, pushing his opponent to the edge of the dish. Bryan looked at the dish, then up at Carmen. He saw her beyblade before, but was used to seeing her hair pulled back. Now, it seemed he had a whole new opponent.

Now it's a whole new level, Bryan thought. "Playing like the big leagues now, aren't you?" he asked.

"Damn right I am!" Carmen said, her hair blew back from the force of the battle. The Bladebreakers, The White Tigers and The Saint Shields watched from up in the stands.

"Come on, Carmen!" Miriam cheered. Rei was indeed amazed. Carmen wasn't relying on the sound of song this time, and changing her appearance made things interesting.

"Well Bryan, it seems you're not trying anymore." Carmen said, brushing raven black hair away from her face.

"It's just your eyes, Riley." he said angrily.

"MY EYES ARE FINE!" she shrieked. Soulbreather continued to push Falborg to the edge of the dish.

"FALBORG!" Bryan hollered. That's right… Try to attack! Carmen thought. Falborg tried to attack, but Soulbreather took advantage of this. Falborg ended up being rebounded off of Soulbreather, and hit the ground outside of the dish.

Bryan looked confused. "How did I--"

"Lose? Well, it's just like in a video game. If you're trapped, don't fire your gun. You'll end up committing suicide." Carmen explained.

"This round goes to The Demons! Bladers, get ready for your next match! We will allow a ten minute break." DJ said. Carmen grabbed her now fairly torn apart blade, then headed back. The Demons walked into their team's room.

"Good show Carmen!" they all cheered. The next two battles were much like the first. In their second match, Bryan took it home for BioVolt. But in the end, Carmen won it for The Demons. The lot of them were just too thrilled for words. That night, they simply relaxed.

"We'll be facing The Bladebreakers next." Nick said.

"Yes, but that's not for a few days, I hope you know." Carmen said as she French braided her hair carefully.

A/N: Well, I had a bit of trouble writing this chapter. I actually did that in a video game once before! I committed suicide and killed myself on one of my cousin's video games. It was quite amusing...actually! Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Thanks Reis#1gurl, I thought I would throw in a nice little dream...:) A nice review would be great!

-Carmen.
