Chapter 23: Playing with the Big Bugs Pt 2
(Intro)
In Invectoid Garden, Verlina continued her battle with Murbura. "Skeletal Strike!" Murbura called, releasing a skeletal version of himself from his body and launched it at Verlina, almost knocking her into the nearby quicksand pit.
"Girl, those insects are bad to the bone." Gisele said. "I still don't understand why Sidney used the Song of Transposition. All she did was swap Flitterix for something even tougher that her." Kaz said. "That doesn't matter now. What matters is that the match isn't over. Yet." Minnie said.
Verlina struggled to stand back up as Murbura slowly closed in on her. She threw a Hail Storm from her hand, slightly grazing Murbura's shell. She started panting from exhaustion. 'Murbura's pretty sturdy. But it's not enough to stop me.' Sidney thought. "Geo Flourish!" She cast her last Mugician and activated her Mugic. As the Mugic played in key, an orange light shined over Verlina, healing her energy. Murbura fired a stream of magma from his antennae. Verlina leapt up into the tree, dodging the attack. She continued to climb as Murbura fired more attacks. As she finally reached the top, she looked around. 'There's gotta be a way to take out Murbura.' Sidney thought. Verlina looked around and saw a very big tree. 'Perfect.'
In Perim, the Alliance watched as Verlina sat in the tree. "What's she doing?" Malvadine asked. "Why is the kid just sitting there?" Galin asked. "Surely she's got a plan." Takinom said. "I hope so." Verlina muttered.
Murbura fired a Torrent of Flame towards the top of tree. Verlina leapt off the tree, dodging the attack and began hopping from tree to tree. Murbura started to follow. He wasn't fast, but he was a good tracker. Verlina continued hopping through the trees until she stopped in front of the big one. She then looked down and saw Murbura approaching. 'Right where I want you.' Sidney thought. Murbura fired more magma balls from his antennae. Verlina leapt down, dodging the attack. Then she fired the stem of the tree with Frostblight. Murbura was a bit confused as Verlina landed. "What exactly was that supposed to accomplish?" He asked. "Simple science. What happens when ice cools down something in a very warm environment such as here?" Verlina said. Just then, there was a cracking noise. Murbura turned and saw that the tree was breaking from the ice. Before Murbura could try to get away, Verlina trapped him with Vine Snare. The tree gave way, falling on top of Murbura and coding him.
Everyone in Chaotic cheered at Sidney's latest win. "Alright, Sid!" Minnie called. "That's our girl." Tom said.
Sidney smiled proudly as she transformed back. "You played that last battle very well. Switching around my Creatures with Mugic." Amzen said. "And I still got plenty more surprises coming." Sidney said. "Majorina, it is your attack." The Drome Master said. Sidney spun her randomizer, landing on the next Location. "The Forest of Life." "Eremia attacks Hornux!" Sidney declared, tapping her Eremia.
In the forest, Eremia waited on a tree limb, looking for any sign of Hornux. Just then, her ears heard the sound of wings beating. Then, a Plasmarrow was shot towards her. She leapt out of the tree and the attack hit the limb. As she landed on the ground, she looked up and saw Hornux. He was a big yellow hornet-like Creature as big as Dractyl, with tiger stripes, 6 big spider legs, 2 sets of big dragonfly wings and a big pair of ant mandibles near his mouth. Hornux fired a Heat Rage from his mouth. Eremia dodged the attack and scurried deeper into the forest. Hornux flew after her, firing more Heat Rages. Eremia dodged the attacks as she ran and fired Braveglint. Hornux dodged and fired Heat Rage again. This time, it knocked Eremia into the bushes.
Hornux headed towards where he blasted Eremia and looked around for her. Eremia hid behind a tree, holding a stick. She tossed the stick, making a noise. Hornux, alerted to the sound, fired Heat Rage at where it came from. Eremia came out from behind the tree and formed a little green gemstone in her hand with a smile.
"Yes! Diamond of Vlaric!" Tom said. "Now Eremia can hit Hornux with some powerful earth attacks." Sarah said. "I didn't know Sid had that in her BattleGear deck." Minnie said. "She must've scanned it while she was preparing for the match." Gisele guessed.
Eremia slammed the gem into the ground, creating Rock Wave and sending Hornux into the air. "Even the littlest of Creatures like Eremia can be pretty dangerous when they have the right BattleGear." Eremia said, blasting Hornux with Earth Pulses as he crashed to the ground. Hornux recovered, shook the dirt off himself and prepared to attack again. But Eremia was quicker. "Telekinetic Bolt!" She called, firing a beam from her chest. The beam hit Hornux, causing him to screech in pain before bursting into code.
Amzen's attack. "Grizeetle attacks Neffa." In Fear Valley, Neffa was struggling against Grizeetle's strength. Grizeetle was a purple hulking beetle Creature with Wamma's body structure and a horn like the nose of a sawfish. Neffa fired a Power Pulse. Grizeetle dodged right and countered by firing Earth Pulse. The attack sent Neffa tumbling to the ground. "Shadow Strike!" Grizeetle called, sending his shadow to attack. Neffa, having lower courage than Grizeetle, shook in fear as he tried to hit the shadow attack with Night Strike. But the shadow attack avoided the attack, then hit and coded him.
Sidney's attack. "Loderool attacks Grizeetle!" In Ravanaugh Ridge, Loderool and Grizeetle tried to match each other's strength. But Grizeetle managed to get the upper hand and tossed Loderool into the mountain. Loderool recovered and charged in with a Streak Strike. Grizeetle moved to the side and Loderool nearly fell off the cliff. "Lavalanche!" He yelled, firing Lavalanche at Grizeetle. "I have more power than you do. Funnel Blast!" Grizeetle yelled, blasting through the Lavalanche with Funnel Blast. Loderool tried as hard as he could to push back, but the Funnel Blast broke through and blew him off the cliff, coding him.
Everyone in Chaotic was getting worried now. "Oh, that's bad. Loderool was one the toughest Creatures Sidney has." Robbie said. "Sidney's only got 3 Creatures left. She's still got a chance. I think." Kaz said. "Real inspiring, Kazzykins." Jycella said.
Amzen's attack. "Flitterix attacks Eremia." At Igslo Lighthouse, Flitterix cornered Eremia inside the lighthouse. Eremia fired Delerium from her head, but Flitterix blocked it with her wings. "Spirit Strike!" Flitterix called, firing her spirit attack. Eremia braced herself as she was hit by the attack and got coded.
Sidney's attack. "Verlina attacks Grizeetle!" In Everrain, Grizeetle was charging towards Verlina. Verlina fired Hail Storm, but even with the boost from Everrain, the attack bounced off Grizeetle's chest. Grizeetle fired a Funnel Blast, knocking Verlina into a tree. Verlina recovered and fired a Glacial Ball, knocking Grizeetle off his feet. Verlina then fired Solar Flare as Grizeetle slid towards her on the wet ground. After a few seconds of pushing the attack on, Grizeetle finally burst into code.
Everyone in Chaotic cheered that Sidney finally scored her 4th win.
Amzen's attack. "Flitterix attacks Deenha." At Ice Pillar, Deenha attacked with Lightning Burst. Flitterix dodged the attack and fired Unsanity. The attack hit Deenha and it started effecting her mind. As Deenha tried to shake it off, Flitterix then fired Fearocity. The typhoon hit Deenha and sent her crashing into Ice Pillar, coding upon impact.
The time had come. It was time for the final battle. 'Okay, Sid. You can do this. 5 Creatures down, 1 to go.' Sidney thought to herself, psyching herself up and jumping in place in preparation. "Win, lose, or draw, you should be proud of yourself for making it this far, Majorina. You played just as well as your father always has." Amzen stated. "The first time we battled, I needed to learn the same thing he learned. The challenges themselves aren't important. What matters most is how great the player is that faces them." Sidney said, remembering the lesson from their Beta Match. "And are you a great player, Sid?" Amzen asked. Sidney closed her eyes and drew in a deep breath before opening them with a determined look on her face. "Let's find out." She said. Amzen only nodded in response.
"Majorina, activate the Location Randomizer." The Drome Master instructed. Sidney spun her randomizer, landing on the final Location. "Kiru City." 'I figured as much.' Sidney thought. "Verlina attacks Flitterix." Sidney declared. She tapped Verlina and transformed into her best Creature friend one last time. Amzen tapped Flitterix and transformed once more too. "Let's get Chaotic." Verlina said. Flitterix pounded her fist into her hand as Verlina glared hard.
Everyone in Chaotic got super psyched for the final battle. "This is it, boys and girls. Sidney's Verlina vs Amzen's Flitterix." Gisele said. "Sid's gonna have to battle her best if she wants to win." Minnie said. Sarah held her husband's arm tight. 'You got this, Sid.' Tom thought.
Even in Perim, tensions were starting to rise amongst the alliance. 'Be careful, Sidney.' Verlina thought.
In Kiru City, Verlina made her way onto the steps to Maxxor's castle, looking around for Flitterix. 'I'm gonna need Mugic if I'm gonna win this. Verlina used her last Mugician battling Murbura. But if I can get inside the castle, I can change that.' Sidney thought. Verlina started to climb up the stairs. But suddenly, she got blasted by a Tornado Tackle. She turned and saw Flitterix in the distance, hovering over the city walls. 'I gotta get to that Mugician fast!' Sidney thought as Flitterix flew from the walls towards the castle. Verlina continued her way up the steps. Flitterix passed through the entire city towards the castle, flew up and fired a Lightning Burst, hitting Verlina in the back. Verlina recovered and turned around just as Flitterix landed on the steps. Verlina fired Fluidmight from her chest, knocking Flitterix down the steps.
Verlina continued on up the steps. When she finally got to the door, she rammed it open, only to fall down the stairs and onto the floor in the great hall. She groaned as she recovered from the fall. "That hurt. Next time, I'm using the doorknob." She said, rubbing her arm. Just then, she heard Flitterix shout, meaning that she was coming. Verlina made her way up the stairs and into the hallways. 'Flitterix may be stronger, but Verlina knows the castle as well as her father. Show me the way, Verlina.' Sidney thought as she and Verlina continued on through the hall. Verlina then came to a door and entered the room behind it. Flitterix then burst through the front doors and landed in the great hall. She sensed where Verlina was and chuckled.
Verlina approached a table that was in the room. Then suddenly, Flitterix burst through the floor and attacked. Verlina jumped and delivered a Flash Kick, sending Flitterix out another door onto the viewing platform. As Verlina charged, Flitterix recovered and blasted Pollen Gust from her wings. But Verlina burst right through and continued charging. Flitterix flew up and dropped down, kicking Verlina. As Flitterix prepared another kick, Verlina caught her legs and started slamming her onto the floor of the platform. As Flitterix recovered, she and Verlina started to try and match each other's strength. "Song of Translocation!" Flitterix called, activating the one Mugic from last time.
"Oh no!" Sarah said. "Not Translocation again! That's exactly what happened last time!" Minnie said.
As the Mugic played in key, the beam shined over Verlina and Flitterix, transporting them to Invectoid Garden once again. Only this time, the Location was in the middle of a thunderstorm. "Are you kidding me?! You scanned this place during a storm?!" Verlina asked in shock and disbelief. They quickly separated as a bolt of lightning struck the spot where they were standing. "Hail Storm!" Verlina shouted, firing Hail Storm from her hands. "Blizzard Breeze!" Flitterix shouted, firing a similar attack to intercept. "What now, Sidney? You know Flitterix can't be harmed by your attacks when she's equipped with Element Pheromone." Flitterix said, revealing the Element Pheromone coating her body. "It's now or never. Echoes of Empty Hands!" Verlina shouted, activating her one special Mugic. The Mugic played in key and a light shined over Flitterix, destroying the Element Pheromone. Verlina then fired Riptide, sending Flitterix crashing into a tree. She continued by throwing Ice Disks. Flitterix countered by firing Airize, hitting Verlina's arm. Verlina recovered and readied her final attack. "Ice Sheet!" She shouted, creating Ice Sheet. Flitterix braced herself as the sheet covered her and coded her.
Everyone in Chaotic cheered. "SHE DID IT!" Minnie screamed. "Alright Sid!" Sarah shouted. The others cheered and hugged each other. A.J., Marshall and Fry looked on with shock. "The winner, Majorina." The Drome Master declared.
Even the alliance was cheering heavily on Sidney's victory. "ALRIGHT!" "She did it!" "That's a brave warrior if I ever saw one." The Creatures all said and cheered. Even Verlina was so happy, she cried tears of joy. "Sidney, you did it. You DID IT!" She cried.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Sidney cheered, jumping up and down as she transformed back, elated at her victory. Amzen smiled beneath her helmet and applauded. "Like father like daughter. Congratulations, Sidney." Amzen said. "Thank you, CodeMaster." Sidney said before she heard a ring from her scanner. She picked it up and her eyes widened with wonder at the new Location scan in her deck. "An Invectoid Garden scan." "That scan will open up all sorts of new possibilities for you. Use it well." Amzen said. "Thank you so much." Sidney said. "Would you mind if I gave you a quick hug before I go?" "Why not?" Amzen smiled as Sidney rushed over and gave her a big hug. Amzen smiled and hugged her back.
As Sidney exited the drome, she found herself piled into a big group hug by her friends and family. "Sid, you are amazing!" Gisele said. "That was absolutely the most bloody brilliant match I've ever seen, lass!" Robbie said. "We're so proud of you, honey." Sarah said, shedding a few tears. "I knew you could do it." Tom said. "Thanks Daddy. I couldn't have done it without you guys." Sidney said. "That's for sure." Peyton joked, making everyone laugh. "Out of our way!" "Move!" "Beat it!" A.J., Marshall and Fry shouted as they shoved their way through. "We protest! There's no way you could've won!" Fry said. "Yeah! You used a Mugic without a Mugician!" Marshall said. "Yes, I did." Sidney said. A.J., Marshall and Fry were confused. "I took a page from my dad's book. I got that Mugician from the secret room in Maxxor's castle. I tapped into Verlina's memory and found the room just like my dad did." Sidney said. "And that is what makes her my daughter." Tom said, side-hugging his daughter. A.J., Marshall and Fry growled and just walked away. Jycella looked on at A.J. as they left, noticing something familiar about him.
"Well, I think it's time we head home." Peyton said. "Right. We gotta get dinner ready." Lulu said. "Yeah, so do we." Kaz said. "But before that, I have to take a test." Jycella said. "A test? For what?" Sidney asked. Kaz put his arm around his wife as Jycella put her hand on her stomach. Everyone caught on quickly. "Are you serious right now?!" Peyton asked. "Well, we don't know yet." Kaz said. "Well, if so, congrats to both of you." Tom said. "Thanks, bro." Kaz said, fist bumping his best friend. "See you later, guys." Jycella said, hugging Sarah before leaving with Kaz, Peyton and Lulu. "Bye guys!" Sidney called.
"Alright, let's see it, girl." Gisele said. Sidney pulled up her prize on her scanner. Everyone was amazed. "Invectoid Garden! Think of all the stuff you're gonna scan there!" Minnie said. "So Sid, how does it feel to win your first CodeMaster Match?" Sarah asked. "Well, as of right now, even knowing that there's still 6 more to go, it feels amazing." Sidney said, looking at the picture of her and Verlina on the screen.
