The World Championships

Chapter 61 The End Of Risk Factor

Following the hometown elimination of Frozen Fortitude, only ten teams were left of those teams two would clash today.

Those two teams were yet to be determined, who would remain in the tournament and who would leave with nothing?

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and beyblade fanatics young and old, yesterday saw the elimination of Frozen Fortitude. However, the tournament is not yet over! On the contrary, we have another four rounds left!" DJ Jazzman announced. "Let's welcome our first competing team, this team is one we know very well, one who had four straight wins and one who made second at last year's beyblade World championship, please welcome the Blitzkrieg Boyz!"

The Blitzkrieg Boyz were strolling into the stadium, but they weren't even remotely nervous, especially because Risk Factor had now mended their ways. As they walked in, Luna blew Tala a kiss from her seat in the stand and he blew her a kiss back, Luna's heart fluttered as she saw this. Once in the stadium they say down on the bench.

"Their opponents are none other than a reformed team who have worked hard to fight honestly since Mr. Coupe and Billu have been jailed, let's have a big hand for Risk Factor!"

Before long, Risk Factor were entering the stadium from the other side. Unlike the Blitzkrieg Boyz, they were nervous because they knew this loss would be the end for them.

As soon as Risk Factor were in, the two teams sat silently opposite each other but neither acted yet. Soon, Tala stood and made his way to the shut platform.

"Tala is first to represent the Blitzkrieg Boyz, with his Wolborg bit beast he can freeze an opponent!"

"Good luck, Tala, make me proud!"

"Thank you, Luna, I'll be sure to do just that!"

As soon as Tala was at the platform, Daryl walked up and met him there.

"Daryl is Risk Factor's lead man and he's at a crucial point in the tournament, if Risk Factor loses it'll all be over for them!"

Tala was filled with desire for victory and Luna's love was giving him strength. Daryl, on the other hand was determined to ensure Risk Factor's survival, if he lost it would reduce their chances significantly.

With Tala and Daryl facing one another, the platform split like an orange, smoke rose out of it. As the smoke cleared, a stadium with a huge bridge going through lots of treetops over a lake appeared.

"Wow, the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park stadium, our bladers are going to have to do some very careful battling to avoid falling off the bridge!"

"Boys, take your positions and launch on my command!"

"I'm going to win today and then you'll be eliminated."

"Keep talking but I doubt you'll last at all."

"3,2,1, let it rip!"

Tala swiftly launched Wolborg onto the bridge, Daryl simultaneously released Swampland Siamensis.

"Swampland Siamensis, attack now!"

Swampland Siamensis shot across the bridge towards Wolborg, it slammed into it with great force.

"Keep attacking!"

"That's right, Daryl, waste your energy on a pointless attack and soon you'll be at my mercy."

"Swampland Siamensis, slam now!"

With a single slam, Swampland Siamensis sent Wolborg to the end of the bridge.

Seeing Wolborg taking all those hits worried Luna because even though she wasn't battling, she was surprised to see Tala's blade taking such a beating and him not retaliating whatsoever. However, she soon remembered that Tala's blade was designed for endurance.

"Swampland Siamensis, multi slam!"

In seconds, Swampland Siamensis was hitting Wolborg like a tennis ball but Tala still remained relaxed.

"Wolborg, slam back!"

With a single slam, Wolborg pushed Swampland Siamensis backwards with authority.

"Attack, Swampland Siamensis, hit him with your Quagmire Driver Attack!"

As soon as Daryl gave the command, the Siamese crocodile appeared, it bellowed and emitted a blast of green light from its mouth. Daryl's blade was encased in green light and it slammed Wolborg backwards.

"Wolborg, Novae Rog!"

Cold air and water vapour flowed from Wolborg's base, embracing Swampland Siamensis, the beautiful woman appeared with her long sapphire hair flowing behind her as she assumed her wolf form and froze Swampland Siamensis. Wolborg then shattered the ice and sent Swampland Siamensis out of the stadium.

"Swampland Siamensis is out, Tala wins and the Blitzkrieg Boyz take the first match!"

Wolborg returned to Tala's open hand, Daryl picked up Swampland Siamensis and walked away. At the same time, Luna rushed down from the stands and snuck up on Tala.

"Thanks for a great battle, Daryl!"

"You're welcome, Tala, good luck in the States."

They shook hands and parted company after which, Luna tapped Tala on the shoulder, he turned round and she threw her arms round his neck, he wrapped his arms round her waist.

"Congratulations, Tala, you were amazing!"

"Thanks, Luna, give it your all in your match."

"Thanks, Tala, I certainly will."

After Tala and Luna reluctantly separated, Bryan walked up to the now closed platform.

"Bryan is next to represent the Blitzkrieg Boyz, his Falborg bit beast's Stroblitz attack can leave you shattered!"

Bryan was standing patiently at the platform, before long he was met by Kristin.

"Kristin is making her stand for Risk Factor, can she ensure a victory to tie it up and remain or will it be the end for Risk Factor?"

With Bryan and Kristin now facing each other, the platform slowly split and revealed a snow clad stadium surrounded by trees and a ski resort at the top.

"A very clever idea, the Whistler Blackcomb stadium, its snow clad landscapes will be quite the challenge for our bladers!"

Bryan readied his equipment swiftly while Kristin removed hers from her skirt, they stood still and prepared to launch.

"3,2,1, let it rip!"

On hearing the launch command, Bryan promptly launched Falborg, Kristin was quick to release Marsh Brongersmai.

"Falborg, attack now!"

"Go, Marsh Brongersmai!"

Falborg and Marsh Brongersmai clashed head on in the snow, sparks flew as the metal clanged.

"Keep attacking, Falborg!"

Heeding Bryan's command, Falborg ferociously attacked Marsh Brongersmai, slashing left, right and centre.

"That's it, Falborg, keep it up!"

With brutal blows, Falborg hit Marsh Brongersmai, slamming it around like a tennis ball. Kristin shook with fear as her blade was beaten.

"Marsh Brongersmai, attack!"

Marsh Brongersmai obeyed Kristin, it hit Falborg hard and fiercely.

"Keep on the attack!"

Kristin was now in full control of the match, Marsh Brongersmai was striking fast and hard. Sparks flew with every blow it dealt.

"Falborg, counterattack!"

Momentum was now snatched away from Kristin, Falborg was now brutally hitting it back with speed and velocity.

"Keep up the steady attack!"

With brutal speed, Falborg was now hitting Marsh Brongersmai back and forth, slashing it left, right and centre.

"Keep it up, Falborg, slam now!"

With a mighty slam, Falborg sent Marsh Brongersmai straight into a tree.

"That's it, Falborg, keep hitting!"

Falborg kept hitting hard, sparks flew as it connected with every blow. Kristin was in tears, her beyblade was taking that much of a beating and she couldn't react.

"Marsh Brongersmai, attack!"

With a single push, Marsh Brongersmai knocked Falborg off, it hit hard and authoritatively.

"Marsh Brongersmai, multi slam now!"

Heeding Kristin's command, Marsh Brongersmai hit Falborg with a barrage of quick, successive slams.

"Keep attacking!"

"Fight back, Falborg!"

Falborg also retaliated with its own ferocious attack, it slammed Marsh Brongersmai here, there and everywhere.

"Falborg, full power attack!"

With a brutal vengeance, Falborg hit Marsh Brongersmai fast, hard and remorselessly.

"No way!"

"Keep going, Falborg!"

Heeding Bryan's command, Falborg viciously attacked Marsh Brongersmai, sparks flew with every blow it landed.

"Don't give up, Marsh Brongersmai!"

In a last ditch attempt to win, Kristin summoned all her beyblading spirit and Marsh Brongersmai managed to push Falborg back briefly. However, this wasn't enough at all, for Bryan called his special attack.

"Falborg, Stroblitz!"

A blinding white light shone and locked onto Marsh Brongersmai, then the turquoise falcon appeared with a screech. It shot down like a comet and smashed Kristin's blade into tiny pieces.

"That's it, with Bryan's victory the Blitzkrieg Boyz have won the session, they stay alive and advance to the next round!"

Falborg returned to Bryan's open hand, while Kristin picked up the shattered pieces of Marsh Brongersmai, her head was down and tears were flowing down her cheeks.

"Kristin, wait!"

"Huh?"

"Thanks for a great battle, Kristin, it was fun to face you and I hope to do it again soon!"

"You're welcome, Bryan, good luck for your next round and I hope we battle again someday!"

"I'm sure we will!"

Bryan and Kristin shook hands before parting ways and going back to their teams.

"What an upset followed with excellent sportsmanship, Risk Factor are now out and the Blitzkrieg Boyz are advancing to the next round!" announced DJ Jazzman. "I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow to see witness the PPB All Starz take on Mythic Blade!"
