Chapter 48 The Flight To Mexico

The next morning, all twelve teams had packed their cases and were checking out of the hotel lobby. However, Tala and Luna were standing together, arms round each other's waists, Luna's head was resting on Tala's shoulder, as they talked about the next match.

"So, Luna, do you think you'll battle next time?"

"Well, Tala, if I'm honest I want to, I mean I lost to you but that's only one loss so I think I'm keen too."

"That's good, Luna, did you enjoy watching the matches here?"

"I really loved them, especially when we beat Risk Factor but Mr. Coupe getting arrested was really good."

"Well, it served him right, judging by his illegal beyblades, I think he deserved it."

"He sure did."

"I wonder how Risk Factor will get on without him."

"For a start, hopefully they'll be more honest but I doubt they'll last much longer."

"Put it this way, they were only winning because of their illegal blades and that in my opinion was completely wrong, it wasn't fair at all."

"I agree."

"We really ought to get going."

The two lovers made their way over to the respective taxis, reluctantly separating before getting into them. To Tala's surprise, the Blitzkrieg Boyz weren't criticising his relationship with Luna any longer, it was as though they were used to it. However, Tala wasn't sure, he didn't trust them, perhaps they were planning to ruin his relationship.

After everyone was in the taxis, they drove away to Vienna International Airport. It was there they would be boarding planes to go to Mexico. In their taxi, the G-Revolutions, barring Kai who was reading, were talking avidly about the next match.

"I hear we're taking on Mythic Blade next."

"How do you know that, Max?"

"I heard Mr. Dickenson."

"I see, from what we've seen of them, they don't seem to be pushovers."

"They're not, they've beaten the Venom Snakes, Frozen Fortitude and Ocean Shine, they'll be tough challengers."

"Yes, that girl Meadow will definitely be one to be careful round, especially how she dispatched Anna and Larysa."

"You're saying she's a bad person, are you, chief?"

"No, Tyson, I'm not saying that, I'm saying that you'll have to be careful blading against her."

"Yes, but at the same time, I'd love to battle her."

"I want to battle her too."

"Daichi, I doubt that she'll battle you."

"Say what?"

"I doubt she'll battle you."

"She might."

"Maybe you're right."

As Tyson and Daichi quarrelled over who would battle Meadow, the rest of the G-Revolutions were relaxing, taking in the sites of Vienna for the last time.

Soon, the taxis arrived at Vienna International Airport. At the airport, the taxis parked and the bladers gradually disembarked.

"Chief, do you know what flight we're on?"

"Yes, Tyson, we're on Swissair Flight 1579 and we'll be stopping briefly in Zurich to go onto Edelweiss Flight 24 to go to Mexico."

"Ugh off all the nerve, I can't believe there's another stop."

"It's only one."

"That's something."

"It's not ideal."

"I know, Max, but it is what it is."

The other teams were also at the airport, waiting to go and get on the planes. One by one, they all took their toilet breaks and made their ways to the departure lounges.

"Swissair Flight 1579 to Mexico is now boarding"

The G-Revolutions made their way down the tunnel and into a Swissair Airbus A220-100. They knew their assigned seats and quickly took them.

"Good morning, everybody and welcome to Swissair Flight 1579 from Austria to Mexico, we shall be stopping in Zurich to change over. The flight shall be for an hour and twenty minutes. We are first in line for take-off and we shall be in the air shortly. We ask that you please fasten your seatbelts at this time and secure all baggage underneath your seat or in the overhead compartments. We also ask that your seats and table trays are in the upright position for take-off. Please turn off all personal electronic devices, including laptops and cell phones. Smoking is prohibited for the duration of the flight. Thank you for choosing Swissair. Enjoy your flight.

Swissair Flight 1579 taxied down the runway and roared up into the morning sky. Gradually, Vienna became smaller and smaller until it disappeared into the distance.
