Blading Brings People Together
Chapter 2: The Third Member and the Sub
"3… 2... 1… LET IT RIP!"
The battle for the last place in Team Philippines as a Regular began, and the two beys met with a spark.
Mitsuki's bey, Rock Vulpecula, jumped a few feet into the air, landing with a miniature explosion.
Miku's bey, whose name Charice was unsure of, rocketed up to very close to the edge of the stadium, narrowly avoiding the explosion.
"Oh boy, that was a close one! Storm Lynx narrowly misses the explosion caused by Rock Vulpecula, as well as a stadium out!" The commentator shouted.
Lynx and Vulpecula circled each other, neither making any attempt to attack.
"Of course, Vulpecula is a Defence type, while Lynx is a Stamina type, so if this carries on, Mitsuki will lose with a sleep-out," This statement showed that Tanya had come back from the kitchen, "Popcorn, anyone?"
"Ooh, don't mind if I do!" Louisa stuffed a bit into her mouth. "You know that you're a know-it-all, don't you?"
"It's hard to forget, with you reminding me five times a day." Tanya chuckled.
"Special move: Three Winds Sneak Attack!" The invisible girl ordered.
At this, Vulpecula disappeared, before reappearing just behind Lynx, with a flash of light. A whirlwind started, Vulpecula in the eye of the storm.
Lynx, however, was caught up in the buffeting winds, being thrown up into the air.
"It seems like Mitsuki is going to win this match!" The commentator cried.
"Like I'd let that happen! Special move: Storm Breaker!"
Lynx shot back towards the ground, a rainbow of colours following it. It hit Vulpecula right on, causing it to wobble dangerously.
Sparks flew as the collision continued.
Seconds passed with nothing else happening.
Then, there was a loud crash and a puff of smoke.
When the smoke cleared, one bey was still spinning, and the other one was lying, unmoving, at its blader's feet.
…
…
…
…
…
…
Lynx was still spinning!
"And the battle is over! Miku is the final Regular in Team Philippines! Mitsuki is the sub!" The commentator concluded.
Miku leapt up, punching the air in triumph.
"Anything to say, Miku?"
"WHOO!" Miku yelled into the microphone, and ran out of the arena, screaming her head off.
"I feel sorry for you, Charice; you have a mad person on your team." Louisa patted her back sympathetically.
"No worries - she's a good blader." Charice shrugged, turning the TV off.
"Tomorrow, you'll meet up with those three. I bet you something's going to go wrong." Tanya said, walking up the stairs to her room.
"Yeah, you'd better go get some dinner." Louisa said, before tailing after her elder sister.
"I'm hungry! What's for dinner?" Dasha whined.
"Popcorn?"
-XD-
"Charice! Hey, Charice, wake up!"
Charice was roughly shaken awake, and with a squeal, she fell onto the floor.
"What are you doing, sleeping on the sofa?"
Opening her eyes, Charice found herself face-to-face with Louisa.
She screamed.
"Oh come on! It's just me!" Louisa said, putting her hands on her hips.
"I know, but you scared me!"
"You're a scaredy-cat, you know that, right?"
Since it was 11 PM when they had finished dinner, Charice couldn't be bothered to go to her room, so instead, she dragged herself to the sofa.
She had fallen asleep immediately.
"I was too tired to go to my room, and I know you're a scaredy-cat." Charice retorted.
"I said that you were a scaredy-cat, genius."
"Why are you talking about yourself?" Charice teased, making Louisa growl and head to the kitchen.
"Good morning, Charice, how are you?" Tanya came downstairs, yawning.
"Fine, thanks, and you?" Charice replied, smiling.
Every morning, Tanya would end up talking formally, and then in the afternoon, she became informal. It was a habit of hers.
"Good, thank you." Tanya followed her sister's footsteps into the kitchen.
A few seconds later, Dasha came thundering down the stairs.
"I'm hungry! What's for breakfast?"
"Leftover popcorn."
…
…
…
…
"That joke's getting old, you know that, right?"
"Shut up, Louisa!"
"'Kay."
"Charice, do come here quickly." Tanya said, so Charice (and Dasha) tramped into the kitchen.
"What is it?"
"I have just acquired a message from the WBBA. It says to meet with the rest of your teammates at noon in the city park, near the fountain." Tanya replied.
"Oh right. Ok. And what time is it now?"
"Eleven thirty."
"… Gah! I don't have much time! Gotta go guys, bye!" Charice rushed out of the house.
…
…
…
"She's forgotten to put her shoes on." Louisa sweat-dropped.
"Hold on… 3… 2… 1… and…" Tanya counted down.
"Oh my gosh, I've forgotten my shoes!"
"Oh boy…"
"Good heavens…"
"Silly big sis!"
