The World Championships
Chapter 36 Test Of Love
With Risk Factor's defeat, it was now time for the next competitors to step up to battle. DJ Jazzman was prompt to announce them. The whole stadium sat anxiously waiting to know who would fight.
"Let's introduce our first competitors for this round, everyone, make some noise for four bladers who are on a winning streak, please welcome the Blitzkrieg Boyz!"
From one side of the stadium, the Blitzkrieg Boyz marched in with confidence and poise.
"And their opponents let's hear it for those creatures of the night the Death Stars!"
The Death Stars made their way in from the other side of the stadium, all of them were itching to battle, Luna was biting her nails unsurely, but she wanted to step up and blade for her team though her love for Tala was stronger.
Both teams seated themselves on benches opposite one another, Tala and Luna were looking at one another conflictedly, both longed to make a statement but their love may well have to stand the test.
Damian confidently stepped up to the closed platform, he was ready to battle and represent the Death Stars.
"Damian is first to compete today, he's a tough competitor with his Capensis bit beast!"
Bryan walked forward to face him, he was poised and ready for action and victory.
"The Blitzkrieg Boyz are countering with Bryan and he can blow you away!"
With Bryan and Damian facing one another, the ground split in half to unveil a stadium with a replica of the old temple of Athena in it.
"Wow how clever a temple of Athena stadium very historic and impressive!"
"Beybladers, are you done with your last adjustments?"
Neither Damian nor Bryan said anything and they poised to launch.
"3,2,1, Let It Rip!"
Damian was prompt to launch and Bryan swiftly followed suit, Capensis and Falborg landed perfectly in the stadium.
"Capensis, attack!"
"Go, Falborg!"
Capensis and Falborg shot towards each other, a loud thud rang out and sparks flew as the blades collided.
"Falborg, slam now!"
With a mighty slam, Falborg sent Capensis directly into the edge of the temple, rock crumbled off of it and fell down slowly.
"Falborg, multi slam right now!"
With vicious authority, Falborg began a brutal onslaught on Capensis, striking fast, hard and authoritatively. Capensis was slammed back and forth like a tennis ball.
"Keep it up, Falborg, now slam again!"
Falborg slammed Capensis again, sending it flying backwards.
"No way, Capensis, attack!"
Heeding Damian's command, Capensis shot forwards like a comet and connected with Falborg, pushing it back hard.
"No way, counterattack, Falborg!"
Falborg locked horns with Capensis, drilling hard and fiercely as the two blades locked together.
"Capensis, slam!"
With a mighty slam Capensis pushed Falborg to the edge of the dish where it teetered helplessly.
"Falborg, go!"
Heeding Bryan's command, Falborg shot down and zoomed towards Capensis like a jet.
"Capensis, evade!"
As Falborg shot down it collided with thin air.
"What?"
Looking to his right, Bryan saw Capensis spinning away unharmed and intact.
"Capensis, attack now!"
With a slam, Capensis struck Falborg into the temple and sent a rocky barrage down, trapping Falborg under it.
"Let's finish this, Capensis, Shadow Pulse!"
The honey badger appeared and shot a blast of purple energy from its mouth, Damian's blade was also surrounded with the same energy. It shot towards the temple, ready to knock it down. However, what Damian had overlooked was the smile on Bryan's face.
"Falborg, come on out!"
Falborg broke through the rubble and zoomed out in one piece.
"No way!"
"Go, Falborg, Stroblitz!"
A bright white light shot forward into Capensis's path, the turquoise falcon appeared and with a screech it shot down. At the same time, Bryan's blade slammed Damian's out of the stadium and to the floor.
"Damian's blade is out, Bryan wins, the Blitzkrieg Boyz take the first set!"
Falborg returned to Bryan's open hand while Damian picked up Capensis and returned to the Death Stars, while Bryan joyously re-joined the Blitzkrieg Boyz.
From the bench with the Death Stars, Luna continued to bite her nails, her reluctance to face Tala was high. Tala, on the other hand confidently stepped up to battle, despite breathing in a heavy and uneasy manner.
"Tala is stepping up to represent the Blitzkrieg Boyz, his Wolborg bit beast can chill you to the bone!"
Standing at the stadium, Tala waited patiently for his opponent.
"Luna, even if we face one another today, I promise our love will not die!"
"Tala, I swear that I will never let our love die no matter what the outcome of today's match!"
Clenching and unclenching her hands and biting her nails constantly, Luna made her way up to the stadium, breathing heavily.
"Looks like Luna will be representing The Death Stars, her Greyfang bit beast will have a real wolf stand off!"
Tala and Luna looked at each other anxiously, and unwillingly prepared to launch their blades. Luna looked particularly sad; she didn't want to fight Tala but she just had to do what she had to do. Tala looked just as reluctant but he knew what he needed to do.
"3,2,1, Let It Rip!"
Tala launched Wolborg into the stadium, Luna followed with Greyfang which landed safely.
"Wolborg, attack!"
"Go, Greyfang!"
Wolborg and Greyfang connected hard, sparks flew as the blades' metal ground against one another.
"Wolborg, push it back now!"
Heeding Tala's command, Wolborg shoved Greyfang back powerfully, as this happened both Tala and Luna were surprised to realise how much fun they were having.
"Greyfang, attack!"
"Wolborg, evade!"
As Greyfang went in for an attack, Wolborg smartly moved aside, leaving Greyfang to catch thin air. Luna laughed, even though she had missed, she found herself smiling and giggling.
"Wolborg, counterattack!"
In a trice, Wolborg shot towards Greyfang, poised to hit it hard.
"Greyfang, evade now!"
Greyfang smartly shot away and Wolborg missed its target, Tala didn't care though, he was thoroughly enjoying himself.
"You know, Luna, you're a really great blader and I'm enjoying battling you."
"I never thought I'd be saying this, Tala, but I'm savouring every minute of our battle."
"Wolborg, full power attack!"
"You too, Greyfang!"
Wolborg and Greyfang heeded their respective bladers' commands and clashed once again, sparks flew as the metal ground against each other.
"Greyfang, slam now!"
Greyfang slammed Wolborg and sent to the edge of the stadium with authority. As this happened, Tala and Luna were laughing themselves silly and smiling warmly at each other.
"Wolborg, multi slam!"
At Tala's behest, Wolborg began a ferocious attack on Greyfang, slamming it with authority and brutality.
"Greyfang, push it back now!"
Without hesitation, Greyfang shoved Wolborg back, sending it towards the edge of the stadium again.
"Wolborg, move down!"
Wolborg moved down towards the temple again, it shot away from the edge with ease.
"Greyfang, Darkness Squall Storm!"
Black and crimson lightning boomed across the stadium, then the beautiful black north-western wolf leaped out and loudly howled to the sky. Luna's blade was now encased in black and crimson energy and it shot towards Wolborg, slamming it into the temple with a thud that broke part of it clean off.
"Wolborg!"
Wolborg responded to Tala's call, it broke free of its prison and shot out and aimed at Greyfang.
"Novae Rog!"
Cold air and water vapour flowed from Wolborg's base. As this happened a beautiful woman with long blue hair appeared. She turned and took the form of the striking Arctic wolf which bit down on Greyfang, freezing it solid and Wolborg shattered the ice and sent Luna's blade out of the stadium.
"The winner is Tala!"
"The Blitzkrieg Boyz now take it all!"
Wolborg returned to Tala's open hand while Luna picked up Greyfang.
"Luna, it was an honour to battle you today."
"Thanks for a great battle, Tala, I really enjoyed myself and congratulations on your win."
"I love you, Luna, every minute of our battle was worth it."
"I know, I love you too, Tala."
Luna ran over to Tala and flung her arms round his neck. Tala promptly wrapped his arms round her waist and the two kissed sweetly, holding each other for a long time before reluctantly separating and going back to their respective teams.
"That's all for today, folks, we look forward to seeing you all tomorrow to witness Ocean Shine taking on the PPB All Starz!"
