"Go hard Pegasus!" Gingka shouted as his bey raced towards his opponent.
"L-Drago!" The distorted voice of Ryuga responded as the forbidden bey rushed to meet the attack. The two beys clashed in the center while the crowd shouted encouragement.
"You can do it Gingka!"
"We believe in you, Gingka!"
"Don't give up, no matter what!"
What fools, L-Drago rumbled as he glared into Pegasus' eyes. Darkness will not be stopped. I will win.
Don't…be…so…sure, Pegasus managed to wheeze out as he struggled to hold his ground. I…won…before… Remember?
Sheer luck, L-Drago growled as it lashed out. Pegasus slipped and lost his footing. L-Drago wasted no time in pressing his advantage. The dragon quickly followed up with a charge, slamming into Pegasus and pushing him towards the edge of the stadium. The battle ends – it ends now! L-Drago declared after a brief stumble.
Pegasus' eyes widened. He hadn't missed that stumble. L-Drago was clearly fighting opponents from the inside as well as Pegasus. If the others were still fighting, even after all this time – then there might still be a chance! Pegasus drew on all the strength he had left, as well all of the strength he could muster from the bladers' spirits who believed in him. What he was about to do was a very long shot. If it failed, then he and his blader and the whole world were done for.
But a long shot was better than no shot at all.
