Hey all readers. I think it's obvious that the names of the Bladebreakers in this story are not mine. However, Sam Coredori and her bitbeast Drazema. Along with the team the Carnivora Catz and their bitbeasts are all mine so please don't take them without my position. Thanks bb4564
Chapter30 – The Final Battle!
Sam watched her blade head for Jazon's golden blade. The two blades collided with a clash, sending sparks everywhere, but neither backing down. Repelling off each other, both went again for the head on attack. This time Sam managed to get the extra hand, and pushed Jazon's blade back slightly, only to have him hit back with equal force. Sam clenched her teeth as her blade was pushed back once more.
Behind her Kenny was working overtime, the rest of the Bladebreakers gathered around him in interest, except for Kai who refused to take his eyes off the battle going on. He was sure that Sam could easily control this battle; it was her emotions that worried him. She would have to control her emotions if she was to win this battle. If she didn't there was no way she could win.
Kenny's voice suddenly reached his ears, but Kai still didn't remove his eyes from the battle. "Both Sam and Jazon's blades appear to be evenly matched." He explained as he typed furiously away at his laptop. "In fact, according to these statistics, their blades are so evenly matched in everyway that it is impossible to who will have the upper hand in this battle. Both blader's energy levels are at their highest level. They are both giving it all they've got. This is really going to be a close battle. If one blader even makes the smallest mistake, that will be it. Otherwise, there is just no way of knowing who will win this match, at this point anyway."
All eyes turned back to the battle. It was obvious that Sam was steadily growing exhausted. She was panting slightly and was perspiring on her forehead, but it was clear she wasn't going to be backing down. Jazon on the other hand, looked completely in control. "This is unbelievable ladies and gentlemen!" DJ Jazzman's voice suddenly rang out, "Despite having just competed in battle, Sam of the Bladebreakers is still going on strong. With Jazon not yet having competed in the finals, it would have been thought that Sam would have a lot less endurance then him, yet she is holding fast against him. But just how much longer can she keep this up?"
Sam mentally thanked him for his vote of confidence as the two blades struck each other once again. "I'm sorry to have to end this little rally," Jazon spoke up suddenly, causing Sam to look at him, keeping her mind on the battle. "But this is getting boring. How about we liven things up?" Sam squared her shoulders at his words.
"Bring it on!" She replied. Jazon smiled.
"Alright Crazema!" He yelled, "Lightening Crash NOW!" Bright light, a lot like lightening began to spark around his blade as the blade swept around the dish. The light seemed to radiate from the center of his blade. As the blade swept across the dish, the bright light grew larger and brighter until it covered the whole dish and obscured both blades from view.
But Sam was up to the challenge. From past battles Sam knew exactly how to counter his attack. "Not so fast, Jazon!" She mocked, "Drazema, counter him with Shadow strike!" All watched the dish as from somewhere beneath the blanket of light Sam's blade whipped across the dish, combating the lightness with dark until it cancelled each other out and both blades came into view just as they collided with a deafening crash! Sam covered her eyes as a whizzing sound rang through her ears. Raising her hand she felt a blade fall into her palm.
Sam opened her eyes, her heart sinking, expecting to see her blade in her hand. But it wasn't her blade that was nestled safely in her palm. No, this blade was gold and white. It was Jazon's blade. Sam couldn't believe it. She had won! She looked back to the dish but couldn't see her blade spinning anywhere. "You didn't think you'd won did you?" A voice mocked. Glancing up Sam saw Jazon smiling at her, a black and purple blade in his hand.
Sam scowled at him but before she could say anything smart DJ Jazzman's voice filled the stadium. "I don't believe it! It's a tie! What do the judges have to say to that? There was a moment's silence as the judges conferred, and then Mr. Dickenson came to the microphone. "Never have I seen two bladers so evenly matched, but as it was a tie, we will have to have a rematch, but with a slight change." He nodded his head and the dish lowered and was quickly replaced by another one.
This one was a LOT different! It was completely covered with ice! There was a large iceberg in the center of the dish and Sam could see the roughness of the ice. A cheer went through the crowd as Sam dug into her pocket and made the quick replacement to the base of her blade. Taking a deep breath she tried to push aside her exhaustion as she loaded her blade.
"3…2…1…LET IT RIP!" Sam launched her blade as hard as she could. It hit the ice the same time as Jazon's, but while hers was able to stay in place, Jazon's skidded slightly. Sam saw him grit his teeth as he tried to steady his blade. "Get him now Drazema!" Her blade obeyed and rammed into Jazon's, ramming it into the iceberg. But Jazon wasn't so easily fazed. "Crazema! Fight back!" Crazema obediently went for Sam's blade. Its balance wasn't as good as Sam's, so it skidded a little, but the force of the attack was still strong and Sam saw her blade repel off his, before attacking again.
Kenny was at his laptop again, working out the stats of this battle. "Although Sam has a steadier hold of her blade on the ice, she is growing increasingly tired. Jazon on the other hand, has less balance, but a lot stronger attack. This battle is once again evenly matched. Unless Sam can find a way to get Jazon out of the match, I don't see her holding out much longer."
Sam, unaware of what Kenny had just said, was having similar thoughts herself. She could feel herself weakening, and knew she had to find a way to defeat Jazon and quick. Knowing her blade had a better hold on the ice, she decided she needed a chance to conserve her energy and ordered Drazema to go on the defence.
Drazema instantly obeyed, dodging Jazon's next attack, causing his blade to skid across the ice, before taking off in the other direction. Jazon immediately gave chase, hitting her blade now and then, but Sam dodged most of his attacks. Then Sam had an idea. It was risky, but it would get her out of harms way for now. "Drazema!" She yelled, "Time to show 'em what you can do." Drazema understood her master's intentions and headed straight for the edge of the dish. Tilting back at a sharp angle, she flew over the dish, and headed backwards towards the center, flipping over just in time to land smoothly on the iceberg, the new base preventing it from skidding off the edge.
Sam mentally thanked Kenny as she heard the crowd cheer and saw Jazon clench his fists in agitation. She had been right in guessing that he wouldn't have the guts to try such an attack. Breathing heavy, Sam tried to think of her next move. She knew she couldn't stay in hiding forever. Jazon, however, seemed to decide to end this battle. "You can run but you can't hide!" He gloated, "Crazema! Mystical Strike!" Sam gasped. This was Crazema's all out strongest attack. It would tear her blade to shreds.
As Sam watched, a gold and white lynx exploded form her blade in a brilliant light and let out a threatening growl that made Sam's stomach churn. Placing a comforting hand on her stomach Sam watched the small star in the center of Crazema's head start to glow as light began to be drawn to it, forming a ball around her. Lightening began to flash in the ball as it spun at great momentum around the iceberg where Sam's blade sat. Then Sam saw it.
"Drazema!" She cried, her voice straining as she summoned what was left of her energy. "Let's end this! Supa Nova!" Sam closed her eyes as her bitbeast shot out of her blade. She could feel everyone's eyes widened at the sound of this attack. Neither the Bladebreakers nor the Carnivora Catz had seen her use this attack before, and that was Sam's advantage.
The great panther looked at Sam, her bright sapphire eyes staring into her master's unsurely, but seeing the determination on Sam's face, she bowed her head in obedience before letting out a roar so frightening the audience shrank back a little in fear. Still, no one could take his or her eyes from the battle as Drazema started the attack.
Spreading her wings to their full beauty, Drazema gave another roar as she started to spin faster and faster. Ice began to chip away from the base of the iceberg as the blade built up speed. Soon it was no more then a blur. A black light spread up the blade like a tornado before encircling around Drazema like a ball. Drazema lowered her wings and head, as the ball grew tighter around her. Silver lights began to spark throughout the ball as it grew in power. Suddenly black streaks were being swept towards the blade. All eyes followed the streaks and came to rest upon the source…Sam!
"That's it!" Kenny yelled, causing eyes to fall on him, "Drazema is drawing Sam's energy to increase the power of the attack! But Sam has very little energy left! I wonder if she'll be able to withstand this attack." All eyes turned back to Sam awaiting the answer. As they watched, Sam began to shake, before falling to one knee as she lost the energy to stand. Still she kept her head up in defiance, her eyes never leaving her bitbeast.
Jazon suddenly snapped out of his daze and back to reality. "Nice try Sam! But this battle is mine! Crazema! Get her now! Jazon's blade obeyed and charged towards the iceberg, but Sam laughed harshly, all confidence now restored. "Wrong move Jazon!" She cried, her voice wavering as more energy was drawn from her. Jazon looked at her in surprise then back at the battle and then he too realised his mistake. "Crazema!" he cried suddenly, "Abort!" But it was too late. Although Crazema tried to stop, it had already gained too much momentum and skidded into the iceberg.
A second before it hit, Sam smiled and closed her eyes. Feeling a tear roll down her cheek as she felt the affects of the energy being drained from her body she silently commanded her blade to unleash its attack, praying in her heart that she would survive it. Drazema, knowing what this meant, cast one last look at her master as Crazema crashed into the iceberg, sending her blade into the air by the explosion. But Drazema was ready. Suddenly opening her wings, she unleashed her attack in mid air, smashing into Crazema with the full force of the attack.
The last thing Sam saw was her blade fall from the sky and towards the dish as Sam fell to the ground. She swore she heard someone calling her name. Then there was a loud explosion, a brilliant flash of light and then nothing…
