The World Championships
Chapter 62 An All Star Victory
Following the eliminations of the Venom Snakes, Frozen Fortitude and Risk Factor, nine teams now remained in the Beyblade world championships. However, only six would come out of this round and only one would be victorious overall. Who would be the victors and who would leave with nothing?
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and welcome to the next match in Canada! Three teams have now been eliminated and just nine remain, today's battle will decree who shall remain and who shall leave!" DJ Jazzman shouted. "Let's welcome our first competing team, this team is one who is strong and represents America, please welcome the PPB All Starz!"
The PPB All Starz strolled into the stadium with confidence and poise, they weren't even remotely nervous especially in that they were ready to win. Once in the stadium, they sat down on the bench and waited patiently.
"Their opponents are a team of legend who have battled bravely to get this far!" DJ Jazzman announced. "Please give a warm Canada welcome to Mythic Blade!"
Mythic Blade strolled into the stadium from the other side, they were itching to battle and retain their place in the championships. However, they also had to be prepared for disappointment if they lost.
The PPB All Starz and Mythic Blade sat down opposite each other for what seemed a long time, waiting patiently to go up and battle.
After a while, Rick stood up and walked to the closed platform.
"Rick is first to represent the PPB All Starz in this do or die round, will he gain victory and secure the first round or will Mythic Blade take it?"
Before long, Rick stood up and made his way to the platform.
"Rick is first to represent the PPB All Starz, his Rock Bison bit beast can rock your world!"
No sooner had Rick reached the platform, Waylon walked up and met him there.
"Waylon is here to represent Mythic Blade, he can burn the competition with his Nengrunex bit beast can burn the competition!"
With Rick and Waylon facing one another, the closed platform split down the middle and unveiled a stadium with a wilderness area and a golf course.
"Wow, the Fundy National Park Stadium, what a setting!"
Quick as lightning, Rick put Rock Bison on his launcher and loaded his ripcord. Waylon was prompt to ready Nengrunex and the two bladers stood ready.
"3,2,1, Let it Rip!"
Rick swiftly released Rock Bison into the stadium, Waylon instinctively followed with Nengrunex.
"Rock Bison, attack!"
"Go, Nengrunex!"
Rock Bison and Nengrunex slammed each other hard, sparks flew as they connected.
"Rock Bison, slam now!"
With a single mighty slam, Rock Bison shoved Nengrunex back with authority.
"Keep it up!"
Heeding Rick's command, Rock Bison maintained its brutal offensive, slashing harder with every blow.
"That's the ticket, attack now, Rock Bison!"
In seconds, Nengrunex was subjected to a fierce beating from all sides.
"Nengrunex, counterattack!"
Seconds later, Waylon had reclaimed momentum and Nengrunex viciously attacked back.
"Keep going, Nengrunex, multi slam now!"
Nengrunex heeded Waylon's command, it slammed Rock Bison back and forth multiple times, sparks hit the air with every blow.
"That's the way, finish him now!"
Nengrunex hit Rock Bison with hard blows, it was sending it backwards with each hit.
"Finish him now, Nengrunex!"
With a single blow, Nengrunex hit Rock Bison and sent it into a tree.
"Push it back now, Rock Bison!"
Rock Bison slammed Nengrunex back with a mighty push before hitting it again.
"Rock Bison, Drop Rock!"
In seconds, rock encased Rock Bison as it shot up, the rock formed a protective barrier around it. Then it shot down like a thunderbolt, slamming into Nengrunex and knocking it clear of the stadium.
"Winner Rick!"
Rock Bison returned to Rick's open hand while Waylon picked up Nengrunex.
"Congratulations, Rick"
"Thanks, Waylon."
"Good luck next round."
Rick and Waylon shook hands before parting company. After this exchange, Michael made his way up to the closed platform.
"Michael is next to represent the PPB All Starz, can this eagle ensure his team's victory or will he lose."
Before long, Meadow drew herself up with a fake mask of confidence on her face and purposefully made her way to the stadium. Her heart was slamming against her chest as she walked.
"It now falls to Meadow to tie it up for Mythic Blade, if she loses that's the end of the myth."
With Michael and Meadow now facing each other, the platform split in half and a jet of smoke rose up.
After the smoke had cleared, a stadium with a magnificent receding glacier over snow clad landscapes rose up.
"Wow, the Athabasca Glacier Stadium, our bladers are going to have to be careful on this icy ground!"
With the stadium now unveiled, Michael swiftly readied his launcher, ripcord and beyblade. Meadow was swift to remove her equipment from her pleated red miniskirt.
"3,2,1, let it rip!"
Michael instantly released Trygle into the stadium, Meadow promptly sent Sharpwing into action.
"Trygle, attack!"
"Go, Sharpwing!"
Trygle and Sharpwing zoomed down the icy landscape, they banged into each other with a hard clash. Sparks rose into the air as the metal banged.
"Trygle, slam back!"
Heeding Michael's command, Trygle slammed Sharpwing back, Meadow's heart stopped for a second as she saw her blade being slammed.
"Sharpwing, multi slam now!"
Momentum turned like the flip of a switch, Sharpwing slashed Trygle left, right and centre. Sparks flew with each hit it inflicted.
"Sharpwing, attack now!"
Sharpwing swiftly attacked Trygle, it hit hard with mighty blows that knocked it back time after time.
"Trygle, push it back now!"
With a mighty shove, Trygle knocked Sharpwing back with authority. Meadow's heart skipped a beat as she saw this.
"That's it, Trygle, keep up the attack!"
Trygle maintained a steady offensive, it hit Sharpwing back with multiple blows that kept pushing it away.
"Keep it up!"
Seeing the beating that Sharpwing was taking filled Meadow's eyes with tears, she could barely watch as her blade was being brutalised by Trygle. As the tears flowed down her face, Meadow tapped into her beyblading spirit.
"Sharpwing, counterattack now!"
Sharpwing understood Meadow's command, it fiercely slammed Trygle backwards like a tennis ball, sparks hit the air with each blow it dealt.
"Finish it, Sharpwing!"
With a mighty slam, Sharpwing sent Trygle flying into a tree, hitting it with a clash.
"Sharpwing, climb the glacier!"
Sharpwing followed Meadow's instructions, it shot up the glacier and poised to strike.
"Sharpwing, Tornado Flight!"
A torrent of wind surrounded Meadow's blade and the hippogriff appeared with a loud shriek. It flew down simultaneously with the blade.
"Trygle, evade!"
Trygle smartly moved to the left, Sharpwing merely hit thin air with nothing.
"No way!"
"Trygle, climb now!"
Heeding Michael's command, Trygle shot up the glacier and positioned itself.
"Trygle, Maximum Cannonball Flame Attack!"
Michael's blade was surrounded by orange flame, a massive fireball shot upwards and the magnificent eagle burst from it with a shriek. The eagle shot down and slammed Sharpwing sky high and out of the stadium.
Trygle returned to Michael's open hand while Meadow picked up Sharpwing. She held her blade while tears of pain fell onto it. Michael approached her and extended his hand.
"Thanks for a great battle."
"You're welcome, good luck in the semi finals and I hope we can battle again someday."
"I'm sure we will."
Michael and Meadow shook hands before parting company.
"That's it, the battle is over, Mythic Blade are now out, Michael's victory means the PPB All Starz take the round! Join us tomorrow for the penultimate battle in Canada between the Majestics and Ocean Shine!"
