It was nearing the end of the elimination rounds and the Blade Breakers had their last opponent. The sat in one of the preparing rooms waiting for their turns
"Well at least Spirit X and BBA Revolution got through right?" Max said. "So even if we don't make it…"
"Don't talk like that you guys will get through this no problem," Kenny said as he tweaked Daichi's blade. "You just have to believe that you can do it." The group heard a knock on the door and it opened as Tyson peaked in.
"Knock knock," he said and he come in covered in sweat and a water bottle in his hands. "Man that battle was tiring. You guys ready for your elimination match because once your done with the rookies it's just going to get harder,"
"Tyson we are the rookies," Hilary grumbled.
"Really…I would have never guessed watching you out there," he laughed causing Max to grab him in a light chock hold. There was another knock on the door stopping everyone in what they were doing and a man came in.
"Bladebreakers your up in a few minutes against the Demolish," he said and left closing the door after him. Tyson frowned and looked back at his friends.
"You guys have to be careful ok. That team likes to fight dirty," he said.
"Well can't you just disqualify them," Hilary asked Tyson.
"I don't have the authority Hil sorry."
"You don't?" Kenny asked. "But your head of everything."
Tyson stared at him and began to laugh. "I'm not head of the games I wouldn't be allowed to play if I was. Rei and I came up with the idea and gave it to the higher ups of the BBA. Besides the Demolish hides there cheating real well so just play like you always have and you'll be fine."
The group nodded and said goodbye to Tyson and Kai held back as they left. He walked up to Tyson and the two of them kissed gently.
"Seriously Kai be careful they like going after the team captains."
Kai nodded and walked out as Tyson watched him with a frown.
A loud horn blew as DJ Jazzman took his place in the center of the field. The Bladebreakers stood on one side and looked over at the other team. They were all nasty looking guys who looked back at them smiling evilly. Kenny gulped and looked over to see how everyone else was handling the situation. They all looked nervous except for Max.
"Why do you look so calm," Kenny asked nervously.
"Lucks on our side look at the field."
Everyone looked and Tala laughed. The ground was rock and surrounded by a river of water. With Daichi taking care of the earth and Tala and Max using the water they couldn't have asked for a better battle ground.
"The final game will now commence!" DJ Jazzman shouted. "On this side we have the returning team who's always made it to the end of the elimination rounds and made it to the finals twice please welcome team Demolish!"
The crowed clapped, cheered, and many booed as the four members of the other team got into their positions.
"And on this side you know that you missed them, the team that everyone has been waiting for to return…the Bladebreakers!"
As Max, Tala, Kai, and Daichi came onto the field they were astonished by the loudness of the cheers they received. Up in the stands both Rei and Tyson moved through the seats and sat next to their old friend Mr. Dickinson.
"Hey Mr. D," Tyson said sitting next to him.
"Well hello there my boys how are you this fine even?" he chuckled.
"Great," Rei yelled over the cheering. "Is it just me or are there more people here then there were in the beginning of the elimination rounds!"
"When news got around that the name Bladebreakers is being used more people bought tickets. We are now completely sold out," The older man said.
"We?" Tyson asked glinting a suspicious smiled.
"It seems as a publicity stunt the board members of the BBA are letting me back as one of the top CEO's."
"That's great Mr. D," Rei said sincerely and the guys all looked down at the match.
Back on the field Tala took his spot in the Kings circle with Max in front of him and Kai and Daichi up in front. The teen standing in front of Kai had a green Mohawk and was Demolish's team captain. The kid laughed.
"So we get the Bladebreakers as our last opponent. My names Thrash and this here is Net," he said pointing to the blue haired kid next to him. "And back there is Carver and our King Dreads. Remember the names because they're the ones that are going to destroy you."
Kai just 'hmphed' causing Thrash to growl. Usually his threats scared his opponents but he could see the Bladebreakers were going to be a little different.
"Bladers ready!" DJ Jazzman yelled and all the bladers linked their beyblades to the launchers. Kai felt Dranzer pulsing under the palm of his hand eager to finish their last match of the elimination rounds.
"3, 2, 1 LET IT RIP!" And the bladers all released there blades. The first thing Kai noticed when he was done fusing was that all of their opponents where covered in spikes and the way they looked he could tell they all seem to be earth base. The second thing was that these guys meant business as they charged at him. With Dranzer's wings ripped from his back he dodged an attack from the green haired teen and flew up. Daichi created a wall of rocks as the other offender Net attacked him with throwing stars and tried again and again to get at the red head.
"Daichi be careful!" Max yelled. "I think there more into getting rid of you then winning!"
"What gave you that idea," Daichi yelled sarcastically and dove under his wall and under the ground. Net realizing that Daichi escaped him decided to charge after Max. The Dracial fused blader called forth water from the river and held it like a shield as Tala behind him took a deep breath and blew out freezing Max's safeguard and the opponent slammed into it and fell. Max laughed and caused the ice to turn back into water and washed the fallen teen away.
On the other side of the field Daichi tried to get to the King while completely underground but there defender stomped on the ground and Daichi was propelled into the sky. He yelled in surprised as he fell back to the ground and made Strata Dragoons wings come out of his back. He sneered and rubbed his finger under his nose and charged for the King but he was ready for him and created a shell out of metal surrounding himself causing Daichi to get thrown backwards.
Up in the stands Tyson cringed "Daichi still rushes into things way to quickly," he groaned.
"Yeah but he's got a couple of fans," Rei laughed and nodded further down the stands. Tyson followed Rei's gaze as he took a sip of soda and chocked on it.
"Is that Captain Yamato?" Tyson laughed. The teacher was standing up and cheering scaring the kids around him.
"Go Daichi go! Don't you dare let them beat you…destroy them!" The older man shouted and both Tyson and Rei doubled over in laughter.
Back in the game Max had called upon a trident the true weapon for a blader of water. He kept himself close to Tala as Net came at him again with a large spike using it as a sword. The two weapons hit each other causing sparks to fly.
"Tala!" Max shouted and Tala hit the ground causing the ground to ice over. Max was ready for it and jumped into the air but the other guy wasn't so lucky and slipped and fell onto his back. Net shouted in frustration as the entire stadium laughed at his defeat and Max walked up to him. The purple and black blader lifted his trident up ready to plunge it into the fallen man's chest but was stopped as his opponent's spike was thrust it into the middle of Max's chest causing him to De-fuse. Tyson and Rei moaned as the blond bent down to grab his beyblade and make his way off the field like he was suppose to when you could no longer fight.
Net grumbled as he got back up to his feet and frowned as the entire stadium booed him. As he watched Max make his way to the bench on the side he grinned with an idea. He took a step forward and slid on the ice once again and as he fell a spike released itself from his hand. Max screamed in pain as the spear rammed its way into the back of his shoulder and he fell to the ground. Rei and Tyson shot up from their seats and made their way down to the stadium. At the same time DJ jazzman blew the whistle and everyone stopped playing.
Tala the closes member of the team ran over to Max lifting him up slightly and placed his hand around the spike to try and stop the bleeding. Max shouted again at the pressure as the medics and the rest of his team ran over. Rei and Tyson jumped over the wall into field and Rei pushed everyone out of the way and grabbed a hold of his boyfriend. He looked over at the teen that hurt him and glared viciously.
"What I slipped?" He said with a shrug and a smile.
"I'll kill you!" Tyson shouted and was held back by Kai who gripped his arm tightly.
"Stop Tyson that's just what he wants," Kai said. Tyson looked up at him and pulled his arm away and went back to Max. After assessing Max the paramedics lifted him up onto the stretcher and began taking him away. Max reached out and grabbed a hold of Kai's arm and looked up.
"You…better… beat…there asses," He cringed. Kai nodded and Max was taken away with Rei at his side. Kai turned to the other team and smiled.
"You heard what he said right guys," He said with an evil looking smile.
"Of course…we beat there asses," Daichi stated cracking his knuckles. Tyson smiled and he, Hilary and Kenny got off the field as Tala, Daichi, and Kai huddled together. The whispered to each other and once they were done they got into positions and DJ Jazzman once again blew the whistle. Even before the other team could blink both Daichi and Kai flew forward. Attacking both the Thrash and Net with full force they made their way closer and closer to the King. Carver their opponent's defense decided to make a move and he ran towards Tala who smiled and created a shell of ice blocking the attack. Tala then created a small hole through the ice and threw an icicle through it landing right in the center of the guy's chest. Carver de-fused and with curses he walked off and sat on the bench.
Back with both Kai and Daichi they continued to push forward until Kai knocked Thrash off his feet and flew at the King who once again put up the metal shell. Kai held his hands out and fire protruded from his hands as he began to melt the steel. Daichi came up behind him and built a rock wall keeping Thrash and Net at bay.
"How…much…longer!" Daichi shouted.
"Not much…now!" Kai yelled back. While Kai jumped up Daichi dove grabbing the ground at their feet and created a hammer of stone. He began knocking on the shell where Kai weakened it and Kai kept shooting fire blocking all of their opponent's attacks.
"I'm in!" Daichi cheered and once again the two of them switch places. Kai created a sword and rammed it into the case and the entire stadium held their breath to see if it hit the Demolish king. The steel began to crack and disintegrate around the boy inside it who was sitting on his knees out of his de-fused form and his beyblade at his side.
The crowd went wild screaming Bladebreakers, Bladebreakers over and over again. Daichi jumped up and down as Hilary, Kenny and Tyson ran out. Tyson grabbed Daichi and lifted him into the air and spun him around.
"We now have our six teams that are moving on. The BBA revolution, Spirit X, the Angels, the Rangers, United Four, and last but least the Bladebreakers. Join us next week as we begin the preliminary rounds!" DJ Jazzman shouted into his microphone. Kai broke into a small smile as he defused and was pulled into a kiss by Tyson and attacked by the rest of his group for a giant hug where he suffocated in the middle.
After they left the stadium the first place they went to was the Hospital. Tyson knocked on Max's door and ran in pouncing on his best friend with a box in his hands.
"Careful Tyson it still hurts," Max laughed.
"You have got to stop putting yourself in the hospital Max," Tyson said grabbing the box and handing it to Max. "Here are some chocolates for one of the final six teams,"
"We won!" Max shouted sitting up further and scrunching in pain.
"Max you know you're supposed to be resting," Rei came in with the rest of the group behind him.
"Hey it's Tyson's fault," he said and Tyson gasped in fake pain.
"Yeah well I hate to be the bearer of bad news but we all know that Max won't be ready for next week," Kenny said.
"No I'll be fine really!" Max said causing Tyson to roll his eyes.
"You're just going to have to use your sub-si-tute," Tyson taunted. Everyone turned to see Hilary trying to sneak out of the room and Tala caught her by the neck of her dress and pulled her back in.
"I can't do this I can't fight like you guys can," she said.
"What about all those time you forced us to do things we didn't want to do!" Daichi yelled. "Tell her Tyson!"
"Sorry Daichi but this isn't my team you're going to have to work this out by yourself," He said sliding off Max's bed. "And I should probably get going. Have to practice if I want to beat you guys in the finals. See you all later."
Tyson gave Kai a kiss and as he walked passed Hilary he took her hand and gave it a small squeeze before leaving causing Hilary smiled sadly and say good bye. Rei also knew it was time for him to go so they could have their team discussion in private and after saying good bye to everyone and threatening Max to rest he left.
"Look Hil you can do this," Tala said. "Your stronger then you give yourself credit."
"But you guys all worked so hard together. You know all your strong points and weaknesses and I well…don't."
"So why don't you play queen?" Kenny suggested. "That way Tala can play defense and all you need to worry about is keeping yourself protected."
"That's not a bad idea," Max said popping a piece of chocolate in his mouth. Hilary looked at everyone and sighed.
"Fine but as soon as Max is better that's It." she said and grabbed a chocolate from Max's box. The rest of the team dove into the chocolates laughing and talking about the preparations for their next battle.
