The World Championships
Chapter 13 Victory From The Seas
After the defeat of Frozen Fortitude, the two teams separated and returned to the stands. DJ Jazzman was quick to announce the next competitors.
"Making their way to the dish, representing Northern Ireland they are the oceans' worst fears, let's give a warm welcome to Ocean Shine"
The entire stadium clapped and cheered as Ocean Shine walked in, respect and adulation lingered in everyone's eyes. All five members were ready for action, and to make a statement.
"And let's introduce the all-new competitors, the ever-risky Risk Factor"
Risk Factor strolled in, Mr. Coupe was walking confidently behind, he was puffed up with self-importance as his team walked in.
The crowd clapped and cheered, save for Tyson who watched Mr. Coupe closely, he was concerned about him. From his seat with the Blitzkrieg Boyz, Tala blew Luna a kiss, and she in turn reciprocated, she yearned to profess her love for him.
Ocean Shine and Risk Factor sat down separately, on opposite sides of the stadium, preparing for battle.
"Stepping up to represent Ocean Shine is the beautiful but deadly Larysa Turner"
Larysa Turner was a beautiful sixteen-year-old girl who had a slim figure, fair skin, dark pink eyes and long lustrous waist length orange hair. She was wearing a sleeveless white top over a belt, denim shorts and purple Nike trainers.
"Larysa may be beautiful, but with her Tlaloc bit beast's Venom Spike attack, she'll have you poisoned"
"Her opponent, representing Risk Factor is the constrictor Kristin Ledbrook"
Kristin Ledbrook was also sixteen, she was slim with fair skin, elbow length fire coloured hair and azure green eyes. Her attire consisted of checked button down shirt over a belt, a knee length skirt and calf high brown boots. A cowgirl hat rested on her head.
"Kristin's Marsh Brongersmai bit beast can really tie opponents up, so tread carefully around this wily lass"
Kristin and Larysa stood opposite one another, both were itching to launch their blades and get started. The ground opened, revealing a stadium that looked like the river Ebro, surrounded by a small town on both sides.
"3,2,1, Let It Rip"
Larysa removed her launcher, ripcord and beyblade from her denim shorts, and launched first, with Kristin quickly following suit. The two beyblades hit the road around the river's edge, with Marsh Brongersmai trailing Tlaloc.
"Marsh Brongersmai, full force attack"
Kristin's gold beyblade began to attack Larysa's red one, slamming it ferociously like a tennis ball. However, despite the ferocious attack by Marsh Brongersmai, Larysa wasn't at all worried, she stayed relaxed as Kristin attacked.
"Kristin is taking the battle to Larysa, what an aggressive attack"
"Can Larysa regroup, or will she go overboard?"
"Slam, Marsh Brongersmai"
Marsh Brongersmai slammed Tlaloc into the river, water flew up as Larysa's blade made a splash.
"Has Kristin done it, is Larysa sunk?"
What nobody had noticed was the smile on Larysa's face, she was grinning calmly at Kristin, who looked at her opponent with a confused expression.
"Why are you smiling?"
"Tlaloc is a natural water spirit, so by knocking him into the water, you've done me a favour"
"What?"
Sure enough, the fin of a lionfish appeared in the river, circling round and round.
"I'll get to you, Larysa"
"Just try it"
"With pleasure, Marsh Brongersmai, dive for the water"
Marsh Brongersmai dived off the edge and into the river, a small splash rang out as the blade hit the water.
"Well done for walking into my trap"
"What do you mean?"
"Tlaloc, Venom Spike"
A lionfish with a jewelled crown on its head appeared, it swum up and caught Marsh Brongersmai on its dorsal fin. The blood python hissed in pain, and Kristin's blade was slammed onto land and then it stopped spinning.
"Winner Larysa"
Larysa's blade returned to her open hand, and while Kristin picked up Marsh Brongersmai, she walked away. Kristin sauntered back to Risk Factor and sat down.
"It's nothing to be sad about, Kristin, you did very well, very well indeed because now we can use our strategy of illegality"
"Thanks, Mr. Coupe"
As quickly as Kristin and Larysa had separated, Taylor took Kristin's place and her opponent was a strikingly beautiful and slim seventeen-year-old girl with fair skin, brown eyes and long dark brown hair that was falling to her hips, pulled over her ears with an embellished headband. She was wearing a sleeveless blue trench coat that flared out behind her over a high-collared corset with puffy sleeves with a blue miniskirt that was connected to knee high stockings and blue high heeled pumps, a blue cross necklace hung round her neck, this was Rowena Vikander. Upon reaching the stadium, Rowena stared confidently at Taylor, her eyes held a confident and fierce look, and she was determined to get started.
"Beybladers, are you done with your final adjustments?"
Neither Taylor nor Rowena spoke, they just stared one another down, itching to start.
Taylor readied her launcher, ripcord and orange beyblade, removing both from her jeans. Rowena followed suit, she took her ripcord, launcher and blue beyblade from her short, tight skirt and knee high stockings respectively.
"3,2,1, Let It Rip"
The two girls launched readily, their blades connected with the dry path, much to Rowena's disappointment.
"Tundra Alpinus, attack"
"Go, Caspian"
Taylor's orange beyblade clashed with Rowena's blue one, sparks flew as the two blades collided.
"Keep attacking, Caspian, don't let up on her"
"Oh no, push it back now, Tundra Alpinus"
Tundra Alpinus slammed Caspian backwards, knocking it into the town hall with a crash.
"Oh no"
"Keep on the offensive, Tundra Alpinus"
"No way, slam back, Caspian"
As Tundra Alpinus continued to attack, Caspian slammed back, knocking Taylor's blade flying.
"No way"
"Caspian head for the water now"
"Not if I can help it, regroup, Tundra Alpinus"
Tundra Alpinus repositioned and flew back at Caspian, slamming it back hard.
"Oh no, hang in there, Caspian"
"Keep attacking"
Suddenly, Tundra Alpinus viciously attacked Caspian, striking so fast Rowena could barely act.
"Slam"
Tundra Alpinus slammed Caspian right into the water, a small wave of water hit the path. Rowena smiled, she now had the advantage, it was time for her to finish things off.
"Caspian, Black Wave Cyclone, attack"
A large tiger shark clad in iron armour from head to tail with an emerald encrusted in its helmet appeared roaring and it swum swiftly round in a circle, creating a huge twister of water and wind.
"She's concentrating on her attack, that means her defence is wide open, Tundra Alpinus, Savannah Firestorm"
An Ussuri Dhole appeared, snarling as yellow fire surrounded the blade. It zoomed straight into the watery cyclone, shooting for the shark.
"Taylor's going straight for the eye of the storm, she's heading straight into Rowena's attack"
"You said it, Brad, I wonder about the outcome"
Though Taylor's attack was powerful, the water from Rowena's attack was putting out the fire.
"Oh no"
"You're done"
In seconds, Taylor's blade was on top of Rowena's, though it was teetering greatly. Caspian then leaped sideways, biting the dhole's stomach and a tornado of water flowed from the stadium. Then Taylor's beyblade hit the ground, though it was still spinning, and it then dropped to its side, motionless.
"Tundra Alpinus has dropped, and Caspian's still spinning."
"Rowena has done it, Ocean Shine take the round"
Caspian returned to Rowena's open hand, she smiled broadly as she caught her blade, and strolled back to her teammates. Taylor picked up Tundra Alpinus and walked away, returning to Risk Factor.
"That was intense, a thrilling victory for Ocean Shine and a devastating loss for Risk Factor"
"Nice one, Ronny"
"Thanks, Fergus, I hope we can keep it up though"
"Let's hope we do"
"I'm sure we will, especially in Dubai"
"Well, I sure showed Taylor what's it's like to swim with a shark"
"That you did, Ronny"
Back with Risk Factor, Mr. Coupe conferred with Billu, and he told Risk Factor to huddle up.
"We may have lost this round. However, in Dubai we shall bring out our illegal beyblades and victory will certainly be ours, Billu, will you be implementing the illegal blades?"
"That was an epic battle, join us tomorrow to see the Venom Snakes and Mythic Blade duke it out"
