Chapter 45 Le Croix's Tense Battle And Victory

"Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the fourth battle in Austria, competing today are two teams who are barely hanging on!"

"Our first team with two wins and two losses are those icy bladers Frozen Fortitude!"

From one side of the stadium, Frozen Fortitude made their way in, the five bladers were close together and ready to go.

"Their opponents are hanging on by a thread, but fighting hard to stay alive Le Croix!"

Le Croix made their way in from the other side of the stadium, they were grouped together and prepared for victory.

Now that Frozen Fortitude and Le Croix were in the stadium, they sat opposite each other, waiting to go.

Between them was a closed platform under which was the stadium. One could only guess and visualise what the stadium could be.

Before long, Logan stood up and walked up to the platform.

"Logan is stepping up to battle for Frozen Fortitude, his Ice Ursus bit beast can turn the stadium into an ice rink!"

Shortly after Logan arrived, Miguel made his way up to face him.

"Miguel is raring to face Logan, his desire to win must be high especially after Le Croix have suffered three losses and have only one win."

"Let's take a look at the stadium."

While Logan and Miguel stood still facing one another, the platform separated and unveiled the Schonbrunn Palace stadium. Schonbrunn Palace stood proudly in the middle, while a magnificent patio square that was complete with six floral hedge gardens lay at the front. At the back was a huge patio with a beautiful lake in the middle.

"How impressive, the Schonbrunn Palace stadium, while its incredibly beautiful and opulent our bladers will have to be careful not to land in the drink!"

"3,2,1, Let It Rip!"

Logan launched first and Miguel quickly followed suit. The two blades landed in the palace's front garden.

"Ice Ursus, attack!"

"Go, Dark Gargoyle!"

Ice Ursus and Dark Gargoyle clashed hard, a loud crash rang out as the metal connected and the two blades ground together.

"Ice Ursus, slam!"

With a mighty slam, Ice Ursus knocked Dark Gargoyle right through the flowery hedge, cutting it to bits.

"Dark Gargoyle, fight back!"

Heeding Miguel's command, Dark Gargoyle shot back and knocked Ice Ursus away.

"Ice Ursus, slam back!"

With a single shove, Ice Ursus pushed Dark Gargoyle back into the flowers.

"Ice Ursus, attack again!"

"Dark Gargoyle, evade!"

As Ice Ursus went in for another attack, Dark Gargoyle shot aside, leaving it to miss.

"No way!"

"Dark Gargoyle, attack!"

Dark Gargoyle hit Ice Ursus with a mighty blow, sparks flew as blades connected.

"Dark Gargoyle, multi slam now!"

With swift movements, Dark Gargoyle maintained its ferocious attack, striking with firm precision and hard blows.

"Keep on the attack, Dark Gargoyle!"

"Push it back now, Ice Ursus!"

As Dark Gargoyle went in for another attack, Ice Ursus gave it a firm push backwards.

"Ice Ursus, multi slam!"

Momentum was swiftly stolen from Miguel, Ice Ursus now began a fierce onslaught, it slashed Dark Gargoyle with relentless attacks, striking so fast that Miguel couldn't react.

"Finish it, Ice Ursus!"

"Not a chance, Dark Gargoyle, attack!"

Dark Gargoyle fiercely attacked back, colliding with Ice Ursus in the middle. Sparks flew as the metal clanged.

"Ice Ursus, Winter Slammer!"

"Dark Gargoyle, Fire Execution!"

Once again, the huge armoured polar bear appeared, it roared with fury and with eyes glowing white it fired the blue and white energy from its mouth. At the same time, devil wings sprouted from Miguel's back as the purple gargoyle appeared and a tornado of fire surrounded his blade.

"Attack now!"

The fiery tornado swept across the stadium, heating up the entire place and burning the bushes, before sweeping up Ice Ursus and sending it out of the stadium.

"Ice Ursus is out, Miguel wins!"

Dark Gargoyle returned to Miguel's open hand, Logan picked up Ice Ursus and went back to Frozen Fortitude. Miguel was swift to congratulate him, before going back to Le Croix.

Not long after, Aaron went up the stadium, he was determined to win for Le Croix.

"Aaron is next to represent Le Croix, his Rushing Boar bit beast can gore you out!"

Seconds later, Jared confidently walked up to face Aaron.

"Jared is facing Aaron this round, he's a tough customer with his Frosttusk Monocerous bit beast's Burning Ice Strike can leave icy burns on the opponent!"

Aaron and Jared readied their blades, launchers and ripcords and took position.

"3,2,1, Let It Rip!"

Aaron swiftly launched Rushing Boar into the stadium, as soon as this happened, Jared followed with Frosttusk Monocerous.

"Rushing Boar, attack!"

"Go, Frosttusk Monocerous!"

Aaron's yellow beyblade and Jared's sea green one met head on and clashed. Sparks rose as the metal collided; the grind was so intense it was almost deafening.

"Rushing Boar, slam now!"

Frosttusk Monocerous was shoved back with a slam from Rushing Boar.

"Keep it up!"

Adhering to Aaron's command, Rushing Boar maintained a fierce attack on Frosttusk Monocerous, slamming it this way and that.

"Rushing Boar, finish him off now!"

"Frosttusk Monocerous, attack!"

As Rushing Boar went into attack, Frosttusk Monocerous struck back, knocking it away.

"Oh no!"

"Frosttusk Monocerous, multi slam now!"

Frosttusk Monocerous heeded Jared's instruction and began a ferocious counter attack on Rushing Boar. It struck so fast; Aaron couldn't defend let alone attack.

"Frosttusk Monocerous, attack now!"

"Rushing Boar, evade!"

As Frosttusk Monocerous went into strike, Rushing Boar shot away, leaving Jared's blade to miss.

"Rushing Boar, attack!"

With a heavy strike, Rushing Boar hit Frosttusk Monocerous hard, sparks flew as the blades slammed into each other.

"Rushing Boar, multi slam!"

Suddenly, Rushing Boar gained a burst of power, it struck Frosttusk Monocerous with fast but heavy blows.

"Keep up the attack, Rushing Boar, slam now!"

With one single shove, Rushing Boar heeded Aaron's command and sent Frosttusk Monocerous flying through the flowers and into the palace.

Rubble from round the palace fell over, trapping Frosttusk Monocerous underneath it. Jared was worried, especially in that he had to tie it up for Frozen Fortitude. However, he didn't know what to do.

"Frosttusk Monocerous, attack back!"

The rubble flew up, Frosttusk Monocerous shot out and zoomed free.

"Frosttusk Monocerous, go now!"

No sooner had it broken free, Frosttusk Monocerous was shooting straight for Rushing Boar.

"Rushing Boar, attack!"

Once again, Frosttusk Monocerous and Rushing Boar slammed into one another, the metal clanged hard and brutally.

"Push it back now, Rushing Boar!"

With a single push, Rushing Boar knocked Frosttusk Monocerous away again.

"Let's finish this fight, Frosttusk Monocerous, attack back!"

"Rushing Boar, go!"

The two blades clashed ferociously once again, drilling each other with intense firmness and grit.

"Frosttusk Monocerous, slam back!"

With renewed vigour and strength, Frosttusk Monocerous knocked Rushing Boar off of it.

"Frosttusk Monocerous, finish him off!"

"Rushing Boar, dodge now!"

Just as Frosttusk Monocerous went in for the kill, Rushing Boar dodged once again.

"Rats."

"Go, Rushing Boar!"

Rushing Boar shot in for a final blow, ready to end the match.

"Frosttusk Monocerous, Burning Ice Strike!"

The huge jewelled armoured narwhal appeared, it roared thunderously and its tusk shone with bluish purple light before periwinkle light shot from its tusk.

"Rushing Boar, Spin Charge!"

As the blast shot out, a huge armoured boar appeared, it charged forwards snorting.

Aaron and Jared's beyblades shot towards each other, the boar managed to break the beam of light and gore the narwhal down. As this happened, Rushing Boar slammed Frosttusk Monocerous out of the stadium.

Though upset after his loss, Jared picked up Frosttusk Monocerous and smiled, he approached Aaron with his hand out.

"The winner is Aaron and Le Croix take the match."

"What an upset."

"Hey, Aaron, that was a good battle, put her there!"

"Thanks, Jared, let's do it again soon!"

"We will."

They shook hands and parted ways, though Frozen Fortitude had lost all of them were smiling at the fun they had.

"See you tomorrow to see the Death Stars fight against Risk Factor!"
