Chapter 3: Excalibur Vs GanGan Galaxy Part 1:
Gingka was shocked, he and the rest of GanGan Galaxy as well as Sophie and Wales couldn't believe it.
It was Julian Konzern
He walked down the stairs and stood side by side with Sophie and Wales. He smiled and chuckled as the European Union Bladers look on and cheer his last name.
Tsubasa stands in the crowd with Madoka as he looks on at his teammates preparing for Battle. "The atmosphere totally ramped up as soon as he got here."
"Yeah, no kidding." Madoka follows, in awe. "This is amazing."
Sophie looks to where Julian was and tried to convince him to let herself and Wales handle the situation. "No need to waste time battling here."
Julian looks at here with a very serious expression on his face. "Excalibur needs to stay sharp in the game so we won't get rusty."
"True I guess." Sophie went on. "Maybe we should've let them in when we had the chance." Sophie says in a sarcastic manner.
"Excalibur!" Gingka, who was now standing front and center with GanGan Galaxy calls out their name in full Battle mode. "So Sophie? You and Wales were apart of Excalibur all along, am I right?"
All three members of Excalibur all look at Gingka and small before stating who they really were to Gingka and his comrades.
Wales went up first. "Representing England, I'm Wales of the Blue Grand Cetus!" Wales pulls out his Bey, Blue Cetus and points it at the opposition.
Sophie follows up on Wales' introduction with her own. She smiles at Gingka to make sure she had his attention. "Representing France, I'm Sophie of The White Grand Cetus!" She pulls out her Bey, White Cetus and shows it off in the same manner Wales had did prior.
Julian, the final of the three follows this by properly introducing himself. "And the team leader, representing Italy, I am Julian Konzern!" He shows the opponents his Bey, Gravity Destroyer.
Julian then officially makes it known. "Together we make up Team Excalibur of The European Union!"
Madoka was in awe of how mighty Team Excalibur set themselves up to be. "Woah, Team Excalibur, amazing!"
Tsubasa adds his own comments about the current situation going on in front of them. "This is like a preliminary matchup for The World Championships."
Julian proceeds to turn his attention to GanGan Galaxy's team leader, Gingka. "What do you think Gingka?" He smiles as Gingka catches the arrogance in his voice. "Are you up for it?" He asks, with a smile on his face.
Gingka staying true to the strong Blader that he is, is not intimidated. "Of course!" He puts a smile on his face. "I am so ready to battle you here and now Konzern." Gingka then excitedly pulls out his launcher with Pegasus equipped on it. "But are you ready for me?!"
Sophie is stunned about the excitement in Gingka's tone, she had never personally witnessed anyone that was ready and willing to fight Julian and Destroyer head on.
But she doesn't have much time to think about it as all six of them begin to launch.
"THREE!..TWO!..ONE!..LET IT RIPPP!" Julian, Wales, Sophie, Gingka, Yu and Masamune all launch their respective Beys, fully prepared for battle.
Libra, Pegasus and Striker don't waste any time in charging straight after them.
"GO GO GO! Pegasus/Libra/Striker!"
White Cetus and Blue Cetus stop charging and get in front of Destroyer, forming a defensive position, protecting Julian.
Libra, Pegasus and Striker all stop in their tracks as their respective owners are curious as to what they're all up to.
"Why are they just standing there?" Masamune was the first to ask.
Yu cockily taunts their Excalibur. "You guys seem unsure of yourselves or something! Wasted all that energy on a flashy introduction. Maybe your all scared of us!"
Wales responds to this. "Don't be ridiculous, taunting to doesn't have any sort of affect on us!"
"We'll just keep moving forward as we always do." Sophie follows up.
Madoka and Tsubasa realize what their doing quickly. "They're just protecting Konzern." The mechanic adds.
"It's not a bad strategy." Tsubasa goes on. "After all this is a team battle."
Masamune is the first of GanGan Galaxy to make a move. "Fine! If you're not going to make a move, then I will!"
Gingka and Masamune both yell at the same time. "Let's Go! Go Striker!/Pegasus!"
Gingka then tells Masamune the battle plan. "Masamune, you take the blue one, I've got the white one!"
"Got it!" He says, replying to Gingka. "I'll send this guy flying with one hit!"
Pegasus and Striker proceed to charge at White and Blue Cetus at the order of their masters.
But to their surprise, as they smash into their respective opponents, Pegasus and Striker are sent flying back towards GanGan Galaxy.
"NO WAY! PEGASUS/STRIKER'S ATTACK DIDN'T DO ANYTHING AT ALL!"
"That's crazy!" Yu yells out. "Pegasus and Strike didn't even Phase them! And Pegasus never loses in a head on clash!"
Julian only chuckles lightly at this and continues to watch as GanGan Galaxy try to attack them.
"Fine!" Gingka shouts. "One more time Pegasus! Send it flying this time!"
Sophie laughs as Pegasus comes full on at White Cetus, the same result as last time happened, Pegasus is repelled back towards Gingka.
"Give it up Gingka!" She says in retaliation. "You know Gingka, when I said we'd be seeing more of each other earlier today, I didn't mean it like this."
This causes Japan's leader and representative to growl in annoyance. In return he sends Pegasus charging at Cetus once more, but the same thing happened. It's repelled.
"Ha! It's no use!" Wales says.
"Ugh! This stinks!" Gingka added. "Their Beys aren't even budging at all! It's like I'm slamming into a solid metal wall!"
Madoka, who was still observing on the sidelines, pulled out her laptop and analyzed Cetus. "What's crazy is Grand Cetus's fusion wheel is just like a wall. They're defensive power is off the charts!"
Tsubasa looks at Madoka's collected data analysis. "That may be true, but Pegasus should be able to break through it somehow, Pegasus normally wins head on collisions!"
Madoka replies. "It's because of the rubber sharp performance tip. The frictional power of the rubber makes the beys harder to move. On top of that, Blue Cetus's spin track is a WD-145. It's the ultimate defense type."
Masamune yells at this fact. "Give me a break! We won't get anywhere this way!"
Pegasus and Striker decide to switch opponents, with Striker clashing with White Cetus and Pegasus clashing with Blue Cetus.
"So Konzern is protected and is just going to stand idly by and watch?" Gingka was annoyed that his attacks weren't doing anything. "That just doesn't roll for me!" He then turns over and looks at Masamune. "Masamune, take care of things!"
Masamune replies annoyed. "You've got to be kidding me Gingka! I want a shot at Destroyer too!"
Gingka and Masamune proceed to order Pegasus and Striker to circle around the Bey stadium to try and attack Destroyer.
This is met by Sophie and Wales countering. "We won't let you!" They both say at the same time.
White Cetus and Blue Cetus proceed to cut them off, protecting Konzern once more. Sophie smiles tauntingly at Gingka, while Wales smiles menacingly at Masamune.
Sophie decided to play around with the current goal of Gingka. "If you want to battle Konzern Gingka, you have to get through little old me."
This annoys Gingka and causes him ti growl in anger.
Wales follows up with his taunting of Masamune. "Same thing for you pal! You've got to get through me If you want a shot at Konzern!"
Masamune glared at Wales. "This guy stinks!"
Yu scouts out the battle field looking for an opening, he sees his chance so he and Libra make their move. "Let's move it Libra! Sonic Wave!"
Green blasts of energy are released from Libra and proceed to fire at Excalibur.
Wales quickly responds to this. "Blue Cetus, Konzern shield!"
Suddenly blue force field like energy appears and blocks Libra's attacks.
Yu didn't like this at all. "You've got to be kidding me?! My sonic wave was blocked?"
"Seriously, who are these guys?" Masamune asks in annoyance as Pegasus, Striker and Libra all regroup.
Wales then makes Excalibur's point known. "As long as me and Sophie are here, we won't let you lay so much as a finger on Gravity Destroyer!"
Yu smiles menacingly and fires back at Wales' remarks. "You sure talk big...BUT THE BATTLE HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN!"
Gingka and Masamune get never as they have a good feeling on what was about to happen.
"Ummm Yu?!" Gingka asks
Masamune follows this with his own rhetorical question. "Please don't tell us you're going to do what I think your going to do? Tell me your not planning to use that!"
Yu responds his two partners and the remark made by Madoka about their defensive power a few moments ago. "I don't care how strong their defensive power is, if it's swallowed up by sand...IT'S GAME OVER!"
Masamune and Gingka show signs of fear on their faces. They immediately call back their Beys. "GET BACK STRIKER/PEGASUS!"
Yu then calls upon his special move. "Okie dokie, Libra! Sonic Buster!"
A green light of energy emits over Libra as a wave spread out in the stadium. The entire stadium then proceeds to get covered up in sand.
Sophie is shocked and annoyed at the damage that's being done to the arena. "What in the world do you think you're doing to our arena? This can't happen, I won't allow it! Forgive me Gingka, but this nonsense has to end!"
Gingka, Masamune and Yu all look at her confused and wonder what Sophie has up her sleeve.
Sophie's face is covered up in anger and seriousness as she calls upon her special move. "WHITE CETUS, GRAND MAELSTROM!"
Suddenly White Cetus begins spinning faster until a very visible amount of air is released from her Bey. The entire stadium is then covered in a dome of energy, followed by water appearing out of nowhere.
Madoka quickly analyzes the situation. "It's a big spiral of air that looks like a massive amount of water. White Cetus's spin track is different from that of Blue Cetus's. The T-125 spin track uses intense centrifugal force as well as downforce to creat that huge whirling current."
Sophie then looks at Yu with a very angry look on her face and makes a statement to him. "Since you enjoyed ruining this beautiful arena, you'll enjoy being sucked up into my whirlpool!"
Yu can do nothing but watch on in horror as he's forced to watch his Flame Libra be sucked into the whirlpool and endure the wrath of Sophie.
"LIBRA! LIBRA!" Yu continuously and hopelessly screams as his is getting ready for it's inevitable humiliation and defeat. "LIBRA! NOOOOOOO!" Yu looks to see that Libra has stopped spinning and has been defeated.
Sophie decides to run alcohol on the fresh wound by laughing at his sorrow and mocking him. "I hope you learned your lesson little boy." Sophie goes back to smiling happily as if nothing had happened.
Wakes adds insult to injury. "You know kid, it's really not a great idea to anger Sophie. Her bad side is nasty."
Yu falls to his knees, humiliated and defeated while looking down at the ground.
Gingka looks at his fallen friend's current state. This makes him angry and wanting to get back at Excalibur for his humiliation. "How dare you?!"
Wakes and Sophie look at Gingka with confusion and curiosity on their faces.
"I won't allow you two to humiliate my friend like that! Get ready cause things are gonna get wild!" Gingka makes sure his statement is heard with the anger in his tone.
Wales then responds back. "Forget it! Our iron wall stops any and everything in its path! Grand Cetus! WD-155RS
Sophie then looks at Gingka and adds her own response to him. "The whirling current swallows anything that attacks it. Grand Cetus! T1-25rs!"
Sophie and Wales make their following at the same time. "They're known as Konzern's Twin Jewels!"
"No one has ever been able to get past them!" Wales says.
Tsubasa then realizes something about Excalibur. "Konzern's Twin Jewels! They're the true power of their team!"
That's when Julian, whom hadn't said or done anything throughout the entire battle, decides to gives orders to his teammates. "Sophie! Wales! I think it's time we put an end to this nonsense."
Wales and Sophie simply nod in agreement.
"Let's go." Wales states.
"Good idea." Sophie simply says.
Gingka, Masamune, Madoka and Tsubasa look on in shock as Sophie calls upon another one of her special movies.
"WORLDWIDE FETUS!" Sophie yells out as the Whirlpool reappears.
Wales follows this with a statement. "We'll show you two the real reason why we both use the same Cetus."
"What?" Gingka and Masamune reply at the same time.
Sophie then proceeds to call upon another special move. "CETUS! Grand Victoire!
Gingka and Masamune are surprised when a gigantic white whale rises from Sophie's whirlpool.
Wales immediately calls upon his special move as well. "CETUS! GRAND FLEET!"
Immediately a gigantic blue whale rises from the whirlpool as well.
The duo then call upon a joint special move, much to the shock of Gingka. "JOINT SPECIAL MOVE! CETUS GRAND CALION!"
The two whales then come crashing down into Sophie's whirlpool, creating a massive tidal wave.
Masamune quickly points this out. "A TIDAL WAVE! Gingka!"
Sophie then forms a serious face once again and explains that history of her joint special move. "This is the famous tidal wave that once buried the countries the Aegean Sea decalion!"
Wales adds on to Sophie's backstory. "Sadly for you, there's no escape!"
Gingka then fires back, much to the shock of Wales, and particularly Sophie. "Who wants to escape!"
"I know I definitely don't!" Masamune followed. "COME ON NOW! LET'S GO STRIKER!"
Under Masamune's command, Striker charges straight for the wave.
Sophie smiles deviously as she thinks Masamune is just charging inside to his impending doom. "It's no use! You'll just end up swallowed by the wave!"
"Looks like there's no choice." Masamune then looks at Gingka. "Hey Gingka, you owe me big time."
Gingka is curious, but doesn't have much time to think about it as Masamune calls upon his special move.
"Here we go Striker! SPECIAL MOVE! LIGHTNING SWORD FLASH!"
The horse appeared and began charging at Sophie's wave. Purple lighting began releasing from its unicorn as it charged full speed ahead.
Striker's smashes into the wave, shocking everyone as Masamune had successfully broken through the tidal wave.
Masamune quickly tells Gingka and Pegasus to move quickly. "Go Gingka! There's no time to waste!"
Gingka forms a serious and determined look. "I'm on it! Pegasus come on! Follow Striker!"
The legendary horse that was Pegasus appeared and proceeded to follow after Ray Striker. Pegasus then jumped over Striker, who was still holding the tidal wave and aimed to sore in the sky.
This did not phase Julian in the slightest regard, he simply made a statement. "It's disappointing and sad really. People always try to aim for the stars and don't realize they've got not a chance at all at reaching them."
"Better get ready, because here I come Konzern!" Gingka says this with sheer determination as Pegasus comes soaring in, ready to finish off the lonesome Gravity Destroyer.
This wasn't the case as Julian summoned the legendary hero Destroyer to rise. Destroyer proceeds to smash down on Ray Striker, causing him to lose control over the tidal wave.
Striker and Pegasus are now trapped and swallowed up by the water.
"NO WAY!" Gingka and Masamune exclaim at the same time as they helplessly watched their Beys be swallowed up.
When the wave settles, it revealed the now defeated Pegasus and Striker now joined the defeated Yu and Libra.
The only Beys that were still spinning were Destroyer, White Cetus and Blue Cetus. The rest of The European Warriors smiled at their country's representatives, while Madoka and Tsubasa showed concern for their teammates.
Masamune falls to his knees and bangs his fist against the ground in anger. "NONONONO AND NOOOO! I can't believe this!"
Gingka glares at the arrogant Julian Konzern, who then mocks GanGan Galaxy. "Well then, that was some pretty good entertainment, wouldn't you agree Gingka?"
Gingka is in no joking mood at the moment as he's upset about his defeat.
Julian adds on to his initial comments moments ago. "The crowd surely got their money's worth today."
Sophie steps up and makes an announcement to everyone present in the room. "Konzern is creating a whole new world and history of BeyBlade. No one, and I mean NO ONE CAN STOP THAT!"
Masamune, still angered by his loss stands up and sends Team Excalibur a message. "YOUR NUTS, JUST MAKE SURE YOU REMEMBER THIS! IT WILL NOT GO LIKE THIS IS THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS YOU GOT THAT?!"
"Julian Konzern." Gingka whispers his name to himself, now knowing how strong not only Julian is, but the rest of Team Excalibur as well.
Gingka, Masamune and Yu all enter the stadium and grabbed their respective Beys, as the entire crowd laughed at them and cheered Excalibur, mainly Julian.
The trio were angry and bummed out about their cold humiliation at the hands of the European Team.
Gingka slowly picked up his defeated Pegasus. "Thank you Pegasus." Gingka whispered to his partner. "You fought hard my friend." Gingka picked up his Bey and left the arena with his head down, ignoring the mocking from the crowd of foreign Bladers.
This was soon followed by Masamune and Yu as well. Julian smiled arrogantly as they all continued to leave the arena, ashamed and humiliated.
The rest of Excalibur look on as their humiliated opponents leave. Wales and Julian didn't think much of it, but Sophie on the other felt bad about what they were going through on the inside, secretly she thought Gingka had fought valiantly.
The laughter and boos reigned down on a very upset GanGan Galaxy.
The trio of Yu, Masamune and Gingka returned to a very concerned Madoka, who offered her immediate condolences. "Come on you guys...let's go home." She said with full sympathy.
Gingka angrily had a final thought inside his head. "This isn't over Konzern, the next time we meet, the outcome will be very different my friend, you'll see."
GanGan Galaxy leave the ruined temple, as Excalibur watches on...
