Chapter 3- Unexplained Victory.
It's peaceful and the weekend is here. Both the girls are up at six in the morning. Last night, Julia and Ashlene passed time watching an anime movie and then having some trivial conversation.
"Hey, the movie was good. Isn't it?"
"Yeah." Julia smiled.
"Seriously, the hero reminded me of him." Ashlene chuckled.
"Ash, get a life. Forget about that bastard. Will you?" Julia said with narrow eyes in an easy voice.
"Oh-" Ashlene gulped but dropped the conversation,
"And, by the way, I liked the hero, so here is no way, Haru is like your ex-boyfriend." Julia laughed, "Sorry."
"Alright." Ashlene sighed.
.

.
Julia asked Ashlene that they go for jogging in morning. Since she was with Julia, she had turned the jogging outing into a different scenario. Ashlene wore dark grey, purple dotted sleeveless top till knees, putting jeans shrugs of full sleeves and wore jeggings. Julia wore a light washed jeans and a dark blue full sleeved woolen top. The girls rushed out putting mufflers around their necks grabbing their phones and earphones. Their hair was tied in high pony tails. Ashlene's corkscrew curls and locks added to her already cute appeal. The weather was refreshing and peaceful. With less people out, birds chirping early, clouds away, the girls did a gleeful jogging for an hour until they got tired. Julia didn't force. And they walked back to home.
"Something seems to be tensing you, Ash." Julia said, looking ahead.
"Hm, what?" Ashlene asked .
"You tell me. You are definitely hiding something."
"It's nothing. What would I hide from you, Julia?" Ash said normally.
"I have known you for almost a year, Ash. I'd definitely sensed you."
Ashlene didn't answer but just sighed. After a silence of fifteen seconds, she said, "Missing him badly." She said with a pained chuckle.
Julia stopped dead in her tracts. She stared at her friend in horror, "You are serious, aren't you?"
Ashlene laughed lightly. "Ash…" Julia whispered. "I've never asked about him to you. Who is he?"
"The hottest guy and the dad of the coolest kid ever born." She smiled with a façade.
"Ash, please forget that shit. He wasn't meant for you. He cheated you, remember?
"I do…and I try hard each day to hate him but it doesn't work sometimes." Ashlene explained softly, "I will be fine. I am okay as long as Raul takes me to walks and you are there for me. "
"I hope so…Lets' just go out today- all of us four." Julia said suddenly with flash of fear.
"We will be running through the jungles." Ashlene laughed.
"You took too much to ease the anger, sweetheart." Julia smirked hard.
"Yeah, I'd."
They resumed walking back silently. "Julia…" Ashlene started in a whisper.
"Hmm?"
"Yesterday, Ellie called Raul 'dad'dda.' " Ashlene said like it was so simple.
"What?" Julia gasped. "Ellie really called him that?"
"Yeah. It was so unexpected." Ashlene smiled, "Raul is so sweet with Ellie."
"Your daughter will erase all your woes in seconds. I feel that."
"W-Why?"
"You will know it…later." Julia winked.
"Oh…" Ashlene flushed, "Raul is… just like my brother."
"I know." Julia laughed.
"Hey! I'm serious." Ashlene flustered.
"I know, I know!" Julia giggled.
"Whatever. Phew…"
"Let's hurry up."
"Sure."
…
Since it was a holiday, they decided for a heavy lunch though they made only hot noodles with a cup of coffee for morning.
"I will take a glance at Ellie." The cautious mother went in her room to find her daughter peacefully sleeping with a half grin on her face. Wonder what she's dreamin' of.
"I will wake up Raul for some bread." Julia said.
"Oh, leave the poor guy. He dies for sleeping. Noodles are enough for me. Fried bread will be for dinner probably."
"Fine." Julia sighed in defeat, "One day, he will end up sleeping even when he will be awarded with some cash prize." Julia winked. Ashlene snickered sarcastically, "Lol,"
"Ash, I will take you to the circus, you will enjoy seeing the kids there." Julia suggested.
"Sure. We will definitely go. Raul will be here anyway for Ellie."
"Yeah." Julia smiled cheerfully.
The girls completed the house chores starting from washing the week's clothes, ironing their suits, sweeping their rooms, dusting the hall's furniture that was smothered in layers of grim, mopping the floors and finally taking a warm bath.
"I think I will be dead any moment." Julia sighed with panting as she sunk in the couch.
"I'm already dead. Prepare for my funeral." Ashlene joked in between deep-breaths.
"Shut the shit, you aren't dead."
"Jules, you think its fine if.." Ashlene stuttered, "If I'm friends with guys, like just friends."
"Why in the world it wouldn't be?" Julia's eyes widened.
"Just asking- since your advises are always right."
"Really? You think so?" Julia smirked gleefully.
"May-be."
"Babe, it's not maybe, it's definitely."
"Fine, DEFINITELY!" Ashlene said loudly in sarcasm.
The girls giggled. They could hear Raul snoring.
"I'm sure his wife will have to work way too much than she used to in her pre-marital life." Julia said bemusing.
"Maybe." Ashlene chuckled.
"Yeah, I'm sure, Ash." Julia almost dared.
"Anyway, he's not the type of guy to trouble his wife. I'm sure he will at least attempt to change his habits." Ashlene said shrugging her shoulders.
"We will see, Ash." Julia smirked.
"Oh, okay, sis." Ashlene nodded.
"What about bet?" Julia winked.
"Ha! Why?"
"Afraid?'
"Not really. It's like; there is probably SO much time for that. We might not even remember it, seriously." Ashlene expressed.
"Sure. But it is a bet."
"Sure."
.
.

"Wow! So we are finally here. Let's see the schedule." Daichi howled in excitement as they opened the T.V in their berth. Kai laid on the single sized bed, while Max and Tyson occupied the small couch and Daichi opened the television while Ray stood leaning against the wall, his expression somewhat murderous.
"And here we are girls and boys! The World Champion Tournament for Year 2018 is here! This year's pattern was done instinctively on voting basis, thus eventually resembling the pattern of first year!" Jazzman started.
"This is so monotonous." Daichi commented.
"It's like only once in a year, Daichi, not monotonous. Do you even know the word?" Max laughed.
"Hmm,"
"So, here's the teams and their allotted battles. This is just phase 1 briefing- You can anyway check the manual that has been given." Brad started.
"Oh, the manual! Here it is!" Kenny took it out.
"You forgot about it." Kai smirked.
"First is Demolition boys VS F-Dynasty. And then the next match is between The Saint Shields VS PPB All Starz! The winning teams of the matches will be battling against the White Tigers."
"This is again the same." Tyson felt someone saying but when he looked around, there was no-one. Everyone was too focused on the Brad's announcement. He felt like he was dreaming or probably it was a sub-conscious voice.
"Kenny, the matches will last for at least two to three hours, why don't you read out the manual." Daichi said with thunderous sighs.
"Sure, Daichi. It's better to know when our team will be battling, so we can schedule our time lap for practicing." Kenny smiled.
"Okay, so the winning team between the winning team said by the brad and White Tigers will be battling the Majestics and then, there is something this- This new Team, "Shard Lights" is battling versus "Robot Genestics"- oh my, what name- seems like this team is so we already have known."
"Not a chance." Tyson said.
"It's a team captain-ed by Zeo, Tyson."
"Ohhh! Wow!" Max and Tyson said in unison.
"Yeah, and then, that winning team will be battling against us-" Kenny continued.
"And then our team will be battling White Tigers." Kai completed.
"Wow! You read the manual already?" Tyson giggled nervously.
"And memorized as well." Daichi sweatdropped briefly.
"This is so boring. We will be anyway beating the White Tigers. It's just like our First tournament, Kenny." Tyson said cockily with jaded attitude.
"Tyson, c'mon, the final battle isn't the easiest. " Kenny rolled his eyes, "They have been battling for seven years in all tournaments except the second one and you did notice that they've been always getting better. It won't be a piece of cake, I'm certain about it." Kenny reminded.
"And anyways, even if we assume that the final battle is not really that tough, who said that fighting against The Shard Lights or Robotic Genetics is easy?" Kai said coldly with spiteful-ness.
"Oh-"Tyson looked at him,
"And though Tyson has fought once against Zeo, we all know how disastrous and cruel that battle was. Zeo might have become probably lot stronger now, that is almost-" Max counted on his fingers, "almost after five years. We don't even know about his new team-mates. I'm sure they might be just as strong as him," Max sighed.
"Don't get cocky, Tyson." Ray answered
"Let's start practicing. There are still three days for our match. We don't even know with whom we will be fighting with," Daichi sighed
Why Kai did said that I'm cocky. It was so bitter and rancorous. And even Ray…Are they jealous of me? Really? That's what they think of me, that I'm just an un-deserving Champion… Did I really not deserve that title … Then why I'm holding and defending it for six years…
"Tyson, you okay pal?" Max asked.
"Yeah," Tyson broke from his chain of thoughts. He stared at his team-mates as they looked at him like they knew that he was worried about something. Oh, they knew it, especially Kai and Ray.
"Oh, okay, let's start practicing." Tyson said plainly and forcibly.
"What happened to him now?" Max and Daichi blinked.
…
It's been all different since last year, ever since that day. Ever since that day, every good thing and aspect just starts breaking. It's like I'm gonna be a loser soon enough. I'm not even sleeping for more than seven hours a day.
I don't understand if I'm paying for what happened. That was not my fault.
Shit.
What did I do… I didn't do anything wrong.
I was loyal. I cared. I really cared and tried my level best.
I tried my level best to keep happy.
Shouldn't have pulled out a fucking tantrum that day.
I hate them, all of them.
Hilary...
(Whatsapp Texts):
"I'm sorry for what I did to you those two years. I always picked faults and hurt you. Now the same is happening with me with the exception that I don't fight back. It's too indirect, you know.
At least we fought openly, brashed each other openly. I remember I'd hurt you a number of times and you forgave me...
How can you do that. ..
I can never forgive my own friends though...
I don't know but I really feel sorry.
Hmm...
I'm sorry for what I did to you and it's just so trivial on this present moment. You'd probably laugh it off and smile once again or probably just give a playful snicker. But for me, it's huge; the guilt is huge.
Let's just hear me- a stubborn and stupid thick head guy you wanted to beat the crap out of is now asking you for forgiveness and I realize that I shouldn't have picked your faults.
I'm sorry.
Thanks for still being my true friend who wouldn't be jealous of my title or fame."
He texted to Hilary-expressing his thoughts.
Hilary laughed, "Hey, don't feel bad. I admit I felt almost murderous at your childish stubborn attitude but it never lasted for more than minutes. You hurt me by your words but it's okay. I did the same. You were hurt by me too and that settles the score. You don't have to think that you were unfair. Yeah Tyson, what you're teammates are currently doing to you is something different and dangerous."
"Dangerous?"
"I don't mean physically; you're likely to lose your cool on your emotions letting it get better of you and lose your matches or at worst, threaten your title. So take care."
"Hey…I know that. Thanks for reminding, though…"
"Hils, I want to say something. *nervous laughter emoji*"
"Yeah, say."
"I'm sorry for that day- I didn't know that it was you. You were dead nervous, I'm really sorry. I really feel bad for you. I hope you are over it."
"Oh Tyson, please don't remind me. I said you that day that I forgave you. I know that was a mistake. Let's just not talk about it. We are still friends, okay? *smiles emoji*"
"Well, are you sure?"
"Yeah! Really. *smiles emoji*"
"Thanks, I guess, I will never talk about this. Thanks again for relieving me."
"No problem… TTUL, have to go…Ryan's here!"
"Oh, *smirks emoji* Bye!"
"Bye"
Tyson smiled thinking if Hilary was already building up new friends there. He always wanted to ask her about this guy, Ryan, but he often forgot. He let it go now and sighed with hung down loose shoulders.
He practiced for some time seriously and then after a few matches with random bladers available around, he went to Juice Centre and had a few glasses of Orange and mixed fruit juice. He stretched his arms in relief and slight drowsiness and rested for the rest of the day. Everyone was practicing on their own for the rest of the day.
The next day was started with rigorous training starting from seven in morning till noon. After a break for half an hour, it continued and they played randomly making sure everyone battled each other evenly and got better. Tyson had better panting and Max had more sweated that day. They were heavily drained off by sunset and took a break till nine, resuming their schedule till midnight with one last battle of five on five bladers.
The next two days passed the same way and the last day ended with a five fierce battles in which each, one blader was versus the other four and process repeated till all the five got chance to fight alone. Kai survived while Tyson tied. Rest of them lost.
Tyson looked out through the window. This year tournament was just so different and empty according to him. He sighed over and over and kept on changing sides for sleep, but no avail.
'Didn't sleep yet?' a soft voice came in his head. His heart almost leaped at it. He shook his hand and looked at it; it seemed numb
'Don't talk to me. It hurts.' He said mentally.
The voice didn't reply and was gone. He dwelt upon past memories and finally felt asleep thinking about tomorrow's tournament. He wondered about tomorrow.
The next day, Kai and Ray were already awake from six and were out for practicing while Daichi was still sleeping. A snoring Tyson and Max were woken up by Kenny. They yawned till they reached their training arena and fluttered their eyes open.
"I'm sleepy." Tyson yawned with his lower jaw dropping smoothly.
"Yeah, we are anyway gonna win the tournament" Max gave a disappointed easy smile.
"Yeah Max."
"Hey, Tyson, you didn't watch the previous matches. Aren't you interested to know about the teams how they made up?"
"Oh yeah, "Tyson said softy as he scratched his head,
"Yeah, you all were drown in your practicing sessions, you didn't even saw their new strategies…" Kenny sighed
"Wait, is the match between the Shard Lights and The Robot Genetics over?" Tyson dead-panned.
"Nope, it's today." Max smiled as he patted Tyson's shoulder.
"So, first, oh…" Kenny sighed, suddenly scared and looked down,
"Kenny, don't tell him…" Max whispered in Kenny's ears while Tyson was taking his blade for examining.
"Uh, yeah, the F-Dynasty won, and you won't believe but Miriam saved their team and the Saint shield won against my former team." Max smiled untruly.
"Then?" Tyson asked with wide eyes,
"You're taking these matches as story. This is not like you Tyson! You should have watched them!" Kenny exclaimed.
"Chill out, I already know them and we aren't battling them. Today's matches are important!" Tyson said care-freely, "Anyway, you are having those battles recorded, I know, haha."
"Well, yeah." Kenny sighed.
"And then, F-dynasty lost against the Saint shields. It was such a depressing sight ya know…" Max said the last part with hopelessness and slight anime dejection.
"Wha-"Tyson's mouth opened, "Did your crush shifted from Miriam to Julia, Maxie?" Tyson asked suddenly and naively.
"No!" Max snarled, "It's nothing like that!" Stupid! Baka! Doesn't even know!
"Okay, okay." Tyson said joining hands for defense.
Max pouted and turned his head to left, "Hmph,"
"Hey, what happened then? Oh god, fuck this T.V, it's not even showing the replaying scenes. Shit." Tyson cursed.
"Well, then, The Saint Shields also defeated the White tigers." Kenny smiled.
"Wow!" Tyson laughed nervously.
"Then, however, The Saint Shields lost to The Majestics. So The Majestics stands still. Today, there's this important match between the Shards and Zeo's team, and-"
"Hold on Kenny, why is that The Bega's team isn't participating?" Tyson asked.
"Not sure, heard that they dissolved. Perhaps they didn't get to team up as per the Registration schedule." Kenny shrugged.
"Oh!" Might be they aren't finding good teammates to show up. Tyson snickered secretly.
"And then, we will be fighting against the winning team-"
"What about The Majestics!" Tyson roared involuntarily.
"Tyson, Kenny is coming to that, have some patience," Max folded his lips uncomfortably.
"Majestics will be battling against the winning team, that is probably us." Kenny said.
"It's obvious." The two bladers said in unison.
"Hope so; and then finally, either us or the Majestics will be facing-"
"IT'S US ONLY KENNY!" Tyson barked.
"Oh!" Kenny sighed in light jaded aura, "Well, then we will be facing Black Chasm- a new team that seems. This schedule was changed a little seeing that the apart from the previous battles, this team had beaten up all the participating teams except Robot genetics and The Majestics." Kenny mentioned.
"Even the Shard Lights?" Max asked.
"Nope, Black Chasm didn't fight yet the Shard Lights. The Robot genetics fought an equivalent tough battle with this team, though. Zeo managed to save his team." Kenny sighed at the last part.
"Wow, I must watch this battles." Tyson said casually with a peck of nervousness.
"Well, the sad thing is you don't have time," Max smirked.
"What?"
"The match between Shard Lights and Robot genetics start within fifteen minutes and then, WE have to battle immediately, Tyson." Kenny snarled almost. Tyson gulped.
"This is dangerous." Tyson said cautiously.
"It IS…" Max said with narrow eyes.
"Did you all watch the battles before itself?" Tyson pointed to Max.
"I'm with you, Tyson- but Kai and Ray did watch all the battles in the morning itself."
"That's the reason they woke up early!" Tyson panicked.
"Yeah! Why didn't you wake us Kenny!"
"I did,-" Kenny gave an irritated scowl, "But my voices didn't wake you up amongst your snoring competition."
"Oh Shit man." Tyson rubbed his forehead.
"Tyson, just lets' fast forward and watch the battles of The Shard lights and Zeo's team for briefly." Max suggested quickly.
"Yeah,"
.
.
.
"And here we come again!" Jazzman roared over his mike, the choruses and cheers of the crowds barking wilder than before, "Oh God, will God have any mercy upon us. It's scorching hot in South America! What do you say Brad?"
"Yeah, I think my brain will melt down in few hours," Brad fans himself,
"So boys and girls, welcome back to the Beyblade Tournament 2018 once again! Are you ready for today's glorious battle of Robot Genetics VS The Shard Lights!"
The cheers clamored,
"Oh man, this seems like we are having all sports matches together played here! Look at these people here, Daichi!" Tyson sweatdropped,
"Yeah, Beyblade sport has been ever rising since we have entered," Max expressed cordially,
"Are you ready for seeing today's bey-dish!"
"Wow!" Kenny exclaimed.
The floor moved aside along with the standing bladers as it revealed ice shards and flakes covering the dish which is a large underground arena. However there is fire on the underground walls that reach the standing plates for the bladers. The hot red green fire from the walls is slowly melting way the ice.
"This is stupendous!" Ray mumbled to himself,
"I guess, both the teams are of opposite types," Max said with a surmise.
"Let's see," Kai said.
"So here we have Emma battling from The Shard Lights- Emma's Sphero finished off almost every blade in its way. Its aggressive Fire wings rash is ravenous for destroying all the blades in its way! Be careful folks, bladers!"
A girl with greyish blue crystal hair and red eyes appeared in the stadium. Her stern and cool attitude justifying Jazz's announcement few seconds ago-
"And here comes Zeo from The Robot genetics, we all know what Cerberus could do! We have seen that in the previous battle five years back! So be aware,"
Zeo's turquoise eyes glinted as he strode to the stadium, wearing the same attire- white and purple suit with white gloves, and matching pants. Attached to his top and pants are four dark green and gold clasps, and he is wearing a dark green metallic attachment beneath his suit
"Bladers, are you ready?!"
"So lets' start,"
"This seems interesting," Tyson said in lounge,
"Three!"
"Yeah," Max nodded,
"Two!"
"Let's watch out this battle carefully," Kai added,
"One!"
Zeo and Emma launched their blades- Ferocity taking over them quickly as the blades crashed the ice, breaking the small flakes into minute shards.
The blades kept on attacking on each other running through the uneven mountainous, hilly ice floor.
"Oh my god, it seems like if they continue knocking just like this, the audience is bound to get bored or the blades will rip each other apart!
"Cereberus, kill it." Zeo said darkly. Emma gave an unsure mocking smile. The blades continued knocking each other and the heat of constant spinning was melting the ice faster.
Thought you picked up my name but you forgot about my home game,
Thought your could take me down, sucka take me down now here we go
Thought you could take me down, whats up you forgot about my old school,
If you wanna teach me something new you better teach yourself
"Sphero, melt the ice." Emma snarled darkly, her red eyes glowering. She gave a sadistic chuckle as her bit-beats emerged out. It was large blue fish with wing like fins. It's golden wings folded closing at once. Zeo used this opportunity to call Cyrberus,
"Cerberus, finish her." Zeo said in a low, horrendous dark tone.
The three chained Lion beast emerged hitting Sphero before she opened her fins. Sphero flinched at the crashing contact of the chained Dogs.
Emma smirked at Cerberus's contact.
"This is impossible!" Tyson and Max shook.
"Go!" Emma snarled and the Sphero opened its wings whamming Cerberus at the edge of the dish of fire walls.
"It seems like the entire stadium will melt down!" Jazz panicked,
Swing now, Swing low if you wanna Beyblade,
Swing now, Swing low let it rip, Beyblade!
Swing now, Swing low never with a beyblader,
Swing now, Swing low let it rip, Beyblade!
"Does Sphero have steel wings or what?" Brad said enthusiastically,
"Man, she seems hard." Max sweatdropped and leaned forward,
Tyson nodded, carefully observing her.
"Sphero, melt down the ice with fire rain." Emma snarled dark. Within seconds, Sphero launched raindrop shaped fire from its mouth and wings and the temperature of the stadium was raising abruptly, everyone sweating uncontrollably. The ice melted down quickly and turned into water.
"Enough." Zeo growled and the three chained Dogs darted towards Sphero, "Finish it off!" Zeo commanded his teeth gritting. Cerberus launched at Sphero and the Fish got hit by it, falling in the melted ice.
"Oh-" Emma frowned but a smirk came onto her lips shortly, "Rise up, Sphero," she ordered sternly and slowly. Sphero rose from the lake and saw the three Dogs trotting towards it horrendously. If she stayed like that, there was no doubt she would lose.
"What she's up to?" Ray said in confusion,
"Sphero, Light shock!" Emma said with murderous look, psychotic smile plastered on her face.
Cerberus was still on its way when Sphero launched a light at Cerberus's eyes, thus blocking it to see her. Cerberus shuddered and flinched, panicked at its momentary loss of vison.
"Finish him off." Emma demanded,
Sphero took the advantage and hit Cerberus continuously with its tail and lower body, Cerberus wincing in pain. Zeo seethed angrily, watching his beast struggling to stand.
Swing now, Swing low if you wanna Beyblade
Swing now, Swing low let it rip, Beyblade!
Swing now, Swing low if you wanna Beyblade,
Swing now, Swing low let it rip, Beyblade!
"Seems like Cerberus is over. Sphero is not showing any mercy!" Jazzman roared,
"What is Zeo gonna do?" Tyson said worriedly, his expressions horrified, almost.
"Zeo has just one way now." Kai said coolly,
"What is it?" Everyone asked.
"Fire can't work on Sphero, Kai!" Tyson said quickly,
"It's not that." Kai said with folded arms.
"Alright." Zeo said seething more, "Cerberus," Zeo said darkly, dark aura covering him,
"Finish it!" Emma shouted.
"Cerberus, attack it now!" Zeo commanded and Cerberus trusting on its master, hit in the air randomly which hit Sphero causing Sphero to plummet. "Cerberus open your eyes!" Zeo said urgently, Cerberus opened and snarled at Sphero. Sphero looked angry and prepared to flash its INTENSE Light shock. Zeo smirked at this.
The moment Sphero launched the light shock, Cerberus shook itself-vibrating, causing its chain to oscillate vertically. The Light reflected the chains as it hit it at the moment and retraced its path. Sphero flinched at its own light shock.
"No!" Emma dead-panned, "T-This c-can't be possible…" she looked frightened.
"Attack Cerberus!" Zeo said with evil laughter. Cerberus launched it on Sphero finishing it off for once. The Fish returned to its blade and the blade stopped spinning.
"And it's over!" Jazzman sweatdropped, "Girls and boys! Zee has won this match and that adds one victory to The Robot Genetics!"
Zeo looked cold; he caught his blade and walked to his teammates. There were two more bladers who greeted him with warm smile. He gave a small forced smile and sat on the bench.
"Wow! That was stupendous, if I may say so," Ray said with nervous laughter.
"Sure thing, Ray." Kai replied,
"Here, comes round two! Let's see who are coming!" Brad said jokingly.
A dark blue haired guy with black eyes came from Zeo's team and a huge guy with blonde hair and purple eyes came from The Shard Lights.
"Show him, Robin!" Emma yelled at her teammate. The guy smiled hardly and nodded at her.
"Let the match start, we all haven't seen Robin's any matches yet, but he looks fiery!" Jazzman joked, "However Logan isn't less. We all know, he's Zeo's most trusted blader!" Jazzman said enthusiastically and positively.
"A little history on Logan and Robin-" Brad said in a serious tone, "They used to be classmates till they studied and were friends but then time parted them and here they stand facing each other from two different teams,"
"Oh, wow, that is a coincidence now," Max said nervously with a laugh.
"Yeah," Daichi agreed. Tyson gave a single bare nod.
"And let it begin. Bladers, are you ready?" Jazzman asked,
"The dish is in all fury. The fire will boil the water." Kenny said.
"Really?" Ray asked.
"Three! Two! One!"
"Let it rip!"
The bladers launched the blades and they crashed quickly with all fury.
"C'mon Robin, let's see what my friend is after all these years," Logan sniggered.
"Sure," Robin gave a pleasant smile. Logan mentally flinched at his reaction. As cool as always.
"Logan, finish him quick." Zeo said sternly.
Logan nodded. Robin's blade was simply dodging the attacks of Logan. Robin's expression was serene and calm. He was simply dodging the attacks of Logan.
"Ok!" Logan yelled in fury.
"It seems like Logan is gonna pull out his attack!" Brad screamed,
"This is boring," Daichi pretended to yawn,
"Wait, Daichi!" Tyson pointed.
Robin's blade was spinning at one place creating a white snow like circle around it. Both the blades were surprisingly good at swimming and spinning on the top of water. Robin sighed softly. His snow shield didn't even show any signs of dissolving in water.
"Robin, finish him fast or else I will do finish off YOU!" Emma seethed. Robin gave her a charming smile, much matching to his personality and then looked at his blade.
"Go Driphon!" Logan shouted, Perquin is strong, she will handle this.
The moment Driphon attacked Perquin, it got repulsed, almost, sending waves of water back. It constantly attacked.
"Logan, you're draining your energy, calm down," Zeo said.
"He's right." Ray nodded, "Logan can't win if he's not using his mind,"
Logan was panting and Perquin seem to be so impervious. With one soft sigh, Robin looked at Logan,
"Sorry, Logan, but I've to win." He smiled. Perquin dived inside the water. Logan looked confused and began moving on the surface of water randomly. Logan knew that if he goes inside the water, its blade can't tolerate the water currents, not at least now. Within seconds, the entire lake started freezing and Logan's blade eventually stuck in it. It just stopped spinning. Robin's blade spurted out creating a small hole of cold water.
"And it's over! This victory goes to The Light Shards! Robin has won this match!" Jazzman announced.
"Over?" Tyson questioned himself, "So soon?" he looked incredible.
Logan started at its blade that couldn't move. Robin's blade was still dancing in the small hole of cold water- seeming to enjoy victory.
"How do I get back my blade now?" Robin seethed, "Do I've to dive in?!"
"Probably not," Robin whispered before his black eyes looked coolly at Logan. Perquin spun vibrantly creating a crack and sending it to Driphon, instantly freeing Driphon. Driphon crashed with the surface of ice but spun smoothly before Logan caught it, "Thank you," he said coldly and went off, greeted with Zeo's boring face.
"Sorry, Zeo." Logan said sadly,
"Hm, maybe we need more practice," Zeo said.
"Way to go, Robin!" Emma and Derek cheered Robin, giving full-time smiles.
"Hey, thanks!" Robin smiled,
" You did awesome, pal," Derek gave a high-five.
"Derek, you are going next," Emma said.
"I know." Derek nodded with a satisfied smile.
"Here comes Derek from Shard Lights! " Jazzman announced, "We all know that Cerullus green poison is way too dangerous! It will ruin all the blades even if they are hundred!"
"Poison? " Tyson repeated, "Is that attack? "
"It can't use its attack unless the beast isn't launched. " Daichi said.
"Hey he's right! "Tyson cackled.
"So here we have Dion from R.G!"
"Brad, Dion's Phiryune is cool, but when it gets aggressive, it's no less than dangerous. "
"Bladers, ready? "
After the countdown, the Bladers launched and two blades crashed even before landing in the ice floor. The ice floor cracked at the spot where both the blades hit.
"Interesting! " Tyson said.
Cerellus dived in the water accidentally created a whirl within seconds. Phiryune got inside the whirlwind getting easily caught. It tried coming back but no avail,
"Hold on, Phiryune!" Dion panicked.
"It seems like the whirl wind is really hurting Phiryune!" Brad commented.
"Phiryune, you okay dude? "
"No it won't be!" Derek snarled.
"Dion, what are you doing?" Zeo said tiredly.
"I'm trying, trust me, Zee, " Dion said softly.
"Go, finish him Derek! " Emma yelled. Robin nodded, "Yeah go!"
"Phiryune got completely inside the whirl wind," Derek smiled evilly. "Go!" The whirl wind became stronger but Dion was calm, Derek kept on strengthening the whirl wind harder letting Cerellus stay just inside the edge. A few minutes passed but the pictures on screen still showed that Phiryune was still spinning.
"How's that possible, it should have drained off! " Kenny said.
"Not sure Kenny,"
A few seconds later, the screen revealed a faster spinning Phiryune going intense in spinning,
"Reverse gears! " Dion shouted and within seconds the entire whirl wind got reversed causing Cerullus to be flung out of the dish at an instant.
Everyone gasped at this. This was totally unexpected.
Zeo smirked.
"A-And it's over! Dion has somehow won his match! The victory goes to Robot Genetics!"
"Jazz, I still wonder how subtly that has happened, good job Dion," Brad said with unsurely.
"What?" Emma and Derek gasped. They looked down but patted a dejected Derek, "It's okay pal, you did well."
"Good job, Dion" Logan cheered,
"Thanks for letting our team win"
"The next match between R.G and G Rev will begin in an hour seeing that the dish needs to be replaced" Brad said
"It's G.R VS R.G! " Jazzman joked.
"I wonder really how Dion defeated Derek, how did he do that! " Tyson said incredulously.
"Yeah, I think I need time to figure this," Kenny said,
"And he didn't use even his poison attack, the beasts didn't come out either," Daichi added his doubts.
"Kai?" Tyson looked to ask him,
"It's simple if you use your brain," with that he left his seat going for a final practice over the break,
"So it means Kai knows it," Ray expressed.
"Yeah, guess so." Daichi looked confused as well.
How is that possible that Phiryune got out of that wind whirl so easily?
A/N: Any idea of how Phiryune did that? Its actually quite simple and cliche. XD. Any idea about Ashlene's boyfriend? Any guesses about Tyson's regrets or why he was talking about to Hilary? :'P Thanks for reading. Waiting for your reviews.
