The World Championships
Chapter 9 A Majestic Victory
The next morning at half past six, the G-Revolutions woke up from a long sleep, before showering and getting dressed. Now all ready, they went down to breakfast in a large restaurant. All eleven other teams were there as well, sitting at the tables and filling their plates.
"The first match is at nine o clock, I wonder who'll be competing"
"The Majestics will be battling Le Croix"
"I'm excited, it'll be great to see Robert and the guys battle, especially now that Barthez is gone"
"Yes, I'm sure that it'll be exciting"
Meanwhile, on the table with Risk Factor, Mr. Coupe was planning how to use the illegal beyblades for victory. So he conferred with Billu, his overweight and frizzy haired, but clever beyblade technician.
"Our first match is against Ocean Shine, and they'll fight hard, so we'll have to cheat them"
"I can easily modify our beyblades to do so, what would you like me to do?"
"Well, Billu, you can enable Kristin to detonate her blade"
"Detonate my blade?"
"Yes, Kristin"
"But, Mr. Coupe, if my blade gets destroyed, I'll be out"
"Don't worry, Billu can make you a new upgraded blade"
"Thanks, Mr. Coupe"
"Not at all, Kristin"
Unbeknownst to Mr. Coupe, Tyson had overheard the conversation, he walked slowly towards Kenny and whispered in his ear.
"Mr. Coupe's using illegal beyblades"
"How do you know?"
"I overheard, Chief"
"How's he using them?"
"He's planning for Taylor to detonate her blade in their match against Ocean Shine"
"That's not good, eh, Daichi?"
"Not at all"
Daichi thought back to his match with Mathilda, and how the cruel Jean-Paul Barthez made her detonate her beyblade.
"That brings back some bad memories"
"I bet it does, Daichi"
"So who'll beyblade first for the G-Revolutions?"
"I'll go"
"Good, Kai, then who'll step up next?"
"Then I will"
"I'll follow on, if the format allows"
"That's good, Tyson and Ray"
"Wait what about me?"
"We'll have to see about the format"
Suddenly, Kenny looked at his watch, the time read a minute to eight and the taxis were already pulling up, one by one.
"Guys, sorry to interrupt your meals, but the taxis are here"
"Good point, Chief, let's go"
One by one, the teams left the restaurant and made their way to the taxis. All the competitors walked to the exit, slowly but surely, save for the Blitzkrieg Boyz and the Death Stars, because Tala was talking to Luna.
"So, Luna, how are you feeling about the match?"
"To be honest, Tala, I'm actually really nervous"
"How come?"
"It's my first time competing in a tournament like this, and I'm scared that I might goof up"
"Don't be nervous, Luna, all you can do is your best, but just have fun"
"I guess so, Tala, it's just I really want to do well"
"I know you do, but failure is only when you don't try"
"Luna, hurry up we've got to go"
"Just coming, Ivy"
"Take care, Luna, just do your best"
"You too, Tala, I'll see you at the stadium"
Luna flung her arms round Tala's neck, burying her face in his chest. Tala promptly wrapped his arms round her waist, before the two parted company.
"Sorry about the delay, guys, was just consoling a nervous blader"
"I think she likes you"
"Calm down, Spencer"
"Somebody's in love"
"Lay off, Ian"
"Come on, lover boy"
"Shut up, Bryan."
The Blitzkrieg Boyz entered the taxi, and it slowly drove away from the hotel, leaving it behind them and it grew smaller and smaller. For the duration of the taxi journey, Tala was looking over his shoulder, observing the Death Stars' taxi, if it was following them. As Risk Factor's taxi turned off, Tala could see Luna waving to him, and blowing him a kiss. He waved back and blew her a kiss back.
After another thirty minutes of driving, the Blitzkrieg Boyz' and the Death Stars' respective taxis arrived at Camp Nou Stadium, in Barcelona. The stadium was huge, with capacity to seat ninety-nine thousand, three hundred and fifty-four people.
Now at the stadium, the Blitzkrieg Boyz and the Death Stars, parted company into their seats, after leaving their baggage in their respective rooms.
With everyone in their seats, except from the Majestics and Le Croix who would be competing first, hence they were sat down at the benches, Mr. Dickenson cleared his throat importantly.
"As president of the BBA, it is my great pleasure to once again host and organise the World Championships, some of us may win, and others may lose. However, I wish all competitors the best of luck and to give their all to the end, first up to compete will be the Majestics and Le Croix" said Mr. Dickenson.
A loud cheer rang from the crowd, flooding through the stadium. All the spectators could see the Majestics and Le Croix, seated below and waiting patiently to square off.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls get ready to Beyblade because it's now time for the first match of the World Championships, first up representing the Majestics is Robert Jurgens"
"Robert and his Griffolyon bit beast make a deadly team, I wonder how Le Croix will deal with that"
Robert confidently strolled to the stadium, his shoulders were back, stomach in and chest out. He stood calmly opposite it, waiting patiently.
"His opponent, representing Le Croix is none other than Claude Tavaurez and he's one tough customer"
Claude walked up to the stadium, and stood opposite Robert, staring him down.
"Let's see what stadium our beybladers will battle in"
In seconds the stadium appeared, it resembled Alhambra palace, complete with a huge fortress on a mountain, surrounded by green bushes.
"Alright Beybladers get ready" DJ Jazzman announced.
Robert and Claude stood readily, holding their Beyblades and launchers.
"Three, two, one Let it rip" DJ Jazzman stated.
Both Robert and Claude released their Beyblades into the stadium.
"Griffolyon attack"
"Go, Rapid Eagle"
Griffolyon and Rapid Eagle slammed into one another, sparks flew the blades' collided.
"Griffolyon, multi slam"
Robert's beyblade responded to his command, and began viciously attacking Rapid Eagle with powerful slams.
"Rapid Eagle, fight back now"
Rapid Eagle ferociously retaliated, and struck Griffolyon like a bear in the woods.
"Push it back now, Griffolyon"
Griffolyon slammed Rapid Eagle, knocking it into one of the fortress's edges.
"Rapid Eagle, slam back now"
Rapid Eagle responded to Claude's command, and slammed Griffolyon backwards, straight towards the turrets.
"Griffolyon, attack again"
"You too, Rapid Eagle"
Griffolyon and Rapid Eagle began trading blows, one after the other, each trying to knock the other back.
"Rapid Eagle, full force attack"
"Evade, Griffolyon"
Rapid Eagle shot in to strike, but Griffolyon swiftly moved aside, sending Rapid Eagle into thin air.
"Oh no"
"Griffolyon, attack again now"
Griffolyon slammed Rapid Eagle from behind, striking ferociously and slamming it backwards.
"I'm still in the game"
"We'll see about that"
"Indeed we will, Rapid Eagle attack"
"Nice try Claude, now try this, Griffolyon attack now"
Griffolyon shot forward, knocking Rapid Eagle into the turret, drilling it in hard.
"Griffolyon, back away"
"Attack, Rapid Eagle"
As Griffolyon backed away, Rapid Eagle swiftly followed it, and struck back ferociously.
"Twin Sabre"
"Wing Dagger"
Angel wings sprouted from Claude's back, and a two headed eagle with a blue plumage appeared. Then Rapid Eagle shot down, like a comet. At the same time, a griffin, purple in colour appeared and its feathers shot from its wings like darts.
The two attacks struck in a stalemate, and a blinding light flooded the arena, blinding the spectators.
"Who won?"
"I can barely see through the light"
When the light cleared, Griffolyon was still spinning, and Rapid Eagle was stationary on its side.
"The winner is Robert"
Robert walked up to Claude, and extended his hand. Claude reached out and shook it.
"That was a great battle"
"Yes, let's battle again soon"
"We will"
"Robert was pretty good, I'd say"
"I think you're right, Tyson, we might face him soon"
"That we might, Kai, that we might"
"We'd better be careful though, he's much stronger than before"
"Yes but that doesn't mean we can't win"
"Next to represent the Majestics is Johnny"
"With his Salamalyon bit beast, the scotsman Johnny can really put you on ice"
Johnny strode over to the Alhambra dish, confidence burned in his eyes like embers. He switched places with Robert, who was seated on the bench with Oliver and Enrique. It wasn't long before he saw his opponent coming.
"Aaron is one rugged opponent, so blade carefully round him"
"The Majestics already have one win, can Aaron tie it up for Le Croix"
Aaron Silva walked calmly to the dish, he stood opposite Johnny, ready for battle and victory but also to give his all.
"Alright Beybladers get ready" DJ Jazzman announced.
Johnny and Aaron stood readily, holding their Beyblades and launchers.
"Three, two, one Let it rip" DJ Jazzman stated.
Both Johnny and Aaron launched their Beyblades into the stadium.
"Salamalyon, attack"
"Go, Rushing Boar"
Salamalyon and Rushing Boar ferociously struck each other, sparks flew into the air like fireworks.
"Salamalyon, multi slam"
Salamalyon began slamming Rushing Boar like a tennis ball, knocking it around ferociously.
"Keep up the attack"
"Push it back now"
Rushing Boar suddenly pushed Salamalyon back, knocking it away down the fortress walls.
"Rushing Boar attack again"
"Salamalyon, full force attack"
Rushing Boar shot forwards, only for Salamalyon to viciously strike back, with multiple heavy and ferocious blows.
"Rushing Boar, strike back"
"Counterattack Salamalyon"
Salamalyon and Rushing Boar struck one another again, landing fierce blows, only Rushing Boar was pushed back.
"No way, Rushing Boar full force attack"
"Dodge, Salamalyon"
As Rushing Boar shot into attack, Salamalyon gracefully moved away, sending Aaron's blade into thin air.
"Oh no"
Oh yes, Go Salamalyon, attack now"
Salamalyon heeded Johnny's command, and slammed Rushing Boar with violent blows.
"Push it back, Rushing Boar"
"Slam, Salamalyon"
Though Rushing Boar was pushing Salamalyon back, Salamalyon slammed it forwards with a powerful blow.
"No way, hang on Rushing Boar"
"Salamalyon, multi slam now"
Suddenly, Salamalyon violently attacked Rushing Boar, striking with heavy blows and knocking it backwards.
"It's over"
"That's what you think"
"Oh really, Salamalyon, go, Fire Rod"
Salamalyon appeared, encased in fire and sent Rushing Boar running.
"Salamalyon has Rushing Boar on the run, can Aaron turn it around"
"Finish it, Salamalyon"
Johnny's blade shot after Rushing Boar, sending it flying from the stadium to the floor.
"Johnny has won the second battle, so the Majestics take the first round"
"What an upset for Le Croix and a victory for the Majestics"
"Let's make it official"
