"Well that was painless." Alex said, looking at Charlie.
"Yeah, can we just get home now, I really need to eat a slice of chocolate cake." She said, getting into the limo.
"After fitting the perfect dress. No way. It's fillet for us tonight my dear sister." Alex said, looking at the cell phone.
She smiled and put it away.
"Who was that?" Charlie asked her about the message she had just received.
"No one. Come on, let's go home and order out." Alex said, dodging the question.
"I have a better idea…" Charlie said, holding up her blade.
"Ah, not now, I really need to get home." Alex said.
Something sounded off to Charlie.
"Come on, one little game." She begged her sister.
Alex sighed and realized she had created a monster.
"Okay, let's get this over with. Driver, can you pull over please… Yes, right here… Just do it." She said getting out the limo and walking across the road and into the park.
"The sooner we start, the sooner I can beat you, the sooner I can get home." She said, coming to a standstill at a dish.
"Cocky, you shouldn't count your chickens yet." Charlie said, standing opposite her. They raised their launchers and launched. The two beyblades flew at each other immediately, not letting up at all. Charlie looked at her sister and knew her concentration was still on that phone call. She knew it was time.
"Okay, Alex, let me show you what I've been working on… ANUKIS, special attack!" she shouted.
Anukis' gear sped up, filling the air with a whistling. Alex looked at her and was quite surprised she had already developed a special attack.
"Special attack, really, what do you call it and should I take it seriously?" Alex watched as Anukis became airborne and shot up into the sky.
"I call it 'Wrath of the gods'. NOW, ANUKIS!" Charlie shouted.
The sound of silence was deafening as they waited. Charlie smiled at Alex when she heard it. She knew what to listen for, but Alex didn't. The sound started off as a soft muffled thumping, like hail on a roof top and grew into an angry roar. Charlie pointed up and Alex looked up to see several fire balls raining down. In the center of the barrage, she saw a glint of gold. The sight of the winged lion barreling down was a sight to behold.
"Anukis, no!" Alex shouted as the fire balls hit Bellona head on, sending her swirling in different directions.
With the last shot, Anukis slammed into Bellona, sending her flying out of the dish and landing at Alex's feet, smoking. Alex was speechless. She hadn't lost a match in five years. And to her sister, was the final insult.
"And yes, you should take it seriously." Charlie smiled, calling Anukis back to her hand.
She smiled at her blade. Anukis was a real war cat. She loved the thrill of the fight.
"Na uh, this isn't over yet, best two out of three." Alex shouted, picking up her blade.
"I thought you were anxious to get back home." Charlie said, walking back to the limo.
"Oh yeah, I am." She said, running after Charlie.
They got in and drove home.
