26Hey everyone! Thanks to HellX and NightPredator for reviewing my last chapter, and thanks to twin1 for reviewing chapter eight! Erm..let's just get on with it…And OMFG, I can't believe it. HellX, NightPredator, you are going to hate me. My mail service must have accidentally deleted (either that, or it was me. And I don't recall deleting anything from my Inbox) the pm's you had sent me about the profiles and such. And I know it's probably going to be a pain in your -ss, but I need you guys to re-send them, or else I'm going to have to BS my way through the tournament…
Disclaimer: …No. No, I'm not saying it! You should know by now that I DO NOT OWN BEYBLADE. Okee, that's it from me.
"Thanks for waiting, everyone! Now, without further ado, we have the Bladebreakers verses Poison Shockwave! First up, we have Karica Young against Tyson Granger! Who'll win?"
"Three guesses…" Elliot murmured, "Give me your bets now, ladies."
"We're betting on Tyson! We don't have much confidence in that new amateur girl," Kiara and Kiari laughed.
"Oh yeah, thanks a lot, guys. You definitely raised my self-esteem," Karica told them sarcastically as she loaded Delfia into its launcher. Tyson was doing the same.
"You're welcome!" This time, all three girls spoke together, flashing Karica a 'V' with their fingers.
"You guys and that stupid peace sign!"
"Erm, Kari…"
"What?"
"You just might want to pay attention. Of course…that's just us."
"Huh?" Karica looked over at Tyson and the announcer. Both were ready and staring at her. "Oh…Right. Sorry!" She took her place and got ready to pull her ripcord.
"Ready bladers?" the announcer shouted (A/N: Yep, in about two seconds, I'm ready to start calling him "Bob") into his microphone. Tyson and Karica both nodded confidently. "On my mark! Three! Two! One!"
"Let it rip!" Both bladers shout and pulled, allowing their beyblades to fall into the dish. Tyson immediately called upon Dragoon.
"Dragoon!" he shouted, before the blue dragon rose up and out of its beyblade.
"If that's how he wants to play, then…Let's go! Delfia!" Karica called out as the young woman rose up and out of the opposing beyblade in a flash of bright light.
The two blades began to clash with each other furiously, with both bladers shouting commands for offensive and defensive maneuvers.
"C'mon, Dragoon! You can do it! Hit her, hit her!" Tyson shouted to encourage his bit-beast.
"Delfia, swerve left! Left! Great job!" Karica complimented her blade. "Now go right and….Dark Whip!" Delfia snatched a black whip out of the air and sent the tip towards Dragoon.
"Whoa! Lookit that, folks! Looks like Miss Karica and Delfia are getting a bit offensive with that whip!" The announcer (BOB) shouted jovially into his microphone as the whip wound its way around Dragoon's neck. Delfia tugged so that the grip got stronger. Likewise, the black beyblade had rammed itself against Dragoon and was holding fast.
"Damn!" Elliot began, rubbing her hands in glee, "She got that from me!"
"Damn!" Ray swore loudly. "She got that from Ellie! Tyson! Tyson, listen to me! She's copying Ellie! Get away from her, quickly!"
"He's right, Tyson!" Kenny called to his friend, in his new, deeper voice, I might add, "Back off while you still can!"
"No way!" Tyson said angrily. "I'll win this my own way! Dragoon! Phantom Hurricane!"
"I don't think so!" Karica said confidently as Dragoon began to push Delfia in preparation to the attack (A/N: I don't remember what each move did, except for Ray's, so I'm pretty much BSing that too). The black top quickly shifted left, causing Tyson's beyblade to fly into the wall of the bowl.
"Once again, she got that from me," Elliot said smugly, holding out open hands to Kiara and Kiari, who both gave her a high-five.
"Damn…Damn!" Kenny cursed, "Tyson, you effing idiot!" Within a matter on minutes, Dragoon had been knocked out of the dish. And, as if to add injury to insult, the knocked-out beyblade slammed into Tyson's face, which ended up giving him a nosebleed.
The announcer gaped at the series of events. "Well?" Karica said, looking at him. "Did I win, or what?"
"Huh? Oh. Sorry…" he coughed and put his mouth to the microphone. "It seems we have a winner! Karica Young from the uprising team, Poison Shockwave, has won the first battle of the tournament in her match against World Champion Tyson Granger of the Bladebreakers!"
The announcement was met with dead silence at first. Tyson, lose to an amateur? And she was a girl too! How embarrassing. However, the few girls of the crowd were cheering and chanting Karica's name.
-Granger Household-
Tyson's grandfather stared at the television. Tyson…lost? He remained silent for a moment longer, then burst into tears. "My grandson's a failure and a disgrace to the family!"
-End Chapter 10-
Oh…that was bad…and really short. Forgive me and review please? Ha, I'm pathetic. I'll update as soon as I can! Bye.
