--- Chapter 3, Not in the same league. ---
The white blade slammed into Dark Leopard again, knocking it back and causing it to start wobbling. "Looks like I'm winning" The overconfident blonde haired boy boasted as his blade made another attack on Dark Leopard, knocking it back again. "Actually kid think about it, he launched first, he went through five wooden planks first and you had the element of surprise, its got nothing to do with your skill, or lack there of" John pointed out matter-of-factly, the emotionless mask remaining on his face. Dan smirked at the comment and pulled himself together as Dark Leopard spun back up to speed, knocking the white beyblade away. "Dragoon!" the blonde haired boy cried, the arrogant tone in his voice being replaced with one of shock. "Come on Dr-Dragoon we c-can still w-win! D-Don't give up!" He stammered, the pressure getting to him as Dark Leopard knocked his blade around the floor almost effortlessly, sending it smashing through the remaining plank in a shower of splinters. Dan laughed to himself as Dark Leopard ground against Dragoon, pushing it back against a wall and holding it in place. "This is getting boring now kid" Dan commented with a yawn "are you even going to make me work for it?" he asked, all the while Dark Leopard was pushing Dragoon harder and harder into the wall causing shards of rock to crumble away. The boy fell to his knees, breathing heavily "I'll show you… and don't call me kid, my name is Ash!" he shouted angrily, pushing himself to his feet. "Dragoon! Tempest Hurricane!" Ash screamed at the top of his voice as his blade knocked Dark Leopard back and a funnel cloud began to form around it picking up speed. Dan merely smiled as his blade was swept up by the hurricane force winds and thrown into the air. "Looks like I win!" Ash said with a grin, the arrogant tone finding its way into his speech again. John merely shook his head and laid back down on the grass "fool…" he breathed as Ash noticed something. "W-Why are you smiling?" He asked, suddenly sounding frightened again. Dan looked across at Ash with the kind of look somebody would have on their face when addressing a 3 year old, before pointing to the sky. Ash looked up and as if on cue Dark Leopard fell from the sky "finish this kid off Dark Leopard… Black Slash!" Dan said, suppressing another yawn as Dark Leopard was engulfed in dark energy smashing down on the top of Dragoon and sending a huge cloud of dust flying in every direction. John opened his eyes idly as the dust cleared and saw Dragoon motionless in the bottom of a huge crater, and next to it Dark leopard was spinning, with hardly a scratch.
Dan laughed out loud again as he walked over and picked up Dark Leopard, kicking Dragoon back to a crying Ash, who was on his knees again. "Just take your pathetic blade and get out of here before I actually start trying" Dan said, stowing away Dark Leopard in his pocket and walking away from the battle site. Ash sat on the ground holding his Dragoon tightly in his grasp, tears rolling down his cheeks as he sat their in shock and disbelief, his eyes scanned around for some way that Dan could have cheated, fixed the outcome, guaranteed that he would win and his eyes fell upon John. Ash stood up, attaching Dragoon to its launcher and sneering "If I can't beat him then I'll beat you, you don't look so tough! Get up battle me! Unless you're scared!" Ash yelled as the last few tears streamed down his face. 'This kid can't be serious…' John thought to himself, slowly getting to his feet "Sorry kid, but you're not worth my time" John stated, turning and starting to walk away. "YOU WILL BATTLE ME COWARD! YOU HAVE TO! BATTLE ME!" Ash roared, launching his Dragoon directly at John's back. John spun around and attached Black Dranzer to its launcher. "Tempest Hurricane!" Ash yelled and his blade was engulfed in energy, still heading directly at John. Mere moments before impact John launched Black Dranzer with met Ash's glowing beyblade in the air and knocking it into the ground where it skidded to a halt at its owners feet, the outer edge of its attack ring buckled and smashed. John merely looked at Ash as he lay on the floor in a heap before picking up Black Dranzer (which as usual was accompanied by the usual drained feeling) and continued walking away as if nothing had happened. John closed his eyes and walked past Dan with his arms folded. Dan stopped laughing and turned to follow him. Ash stopped crying and gathered up the warped remains of his Dragoon. "You two get back here!" he shouted, running after them down the street.
