The Alarm clock rings at 8am on a Summer Saturday Morning. Miles jolts up. "Oh my god! The tournament starts at nine! I'm gonna be late!" He quickly takes a shower, grabs his bey, and runs down the stairs. "I gotta go, mom!" He says loudly, "The Elite 8 Tournament is today, and I want to win so badly!" "Okay, honey. Good Luck!" After those Words, he bolts out the door, running for the stadium in town. He makes it with a few minutes left to talk with his two friends, Devin and Cloud. "Sorry I'm late, guys!" he said, out of breath, "Got up late..." "It's okay, man..." Cloud says, "You're fine..." "Heh, good..." Miles says back, "because I want to win this and beat those other five guys. They are so mean to us, and we need to stop it." "Yeah..." Devin includes, "Shad, CD, Graham, and G-A are all pretty bad. My biggest concern though, is R-Dev. His MF-F Basalt Impaler 230CS has been undefeated all year so far." "Yeah..." Miles says as he pulls out his bey, "hopefully me and my MF-H Wing Pegasis BD145CS can beat him." "Yeah, you haven't faced him yet, and your #1 rank has held for a long time. You need to keep it in your reach..." Devin says. "Guys!" Cloud exclaims, "It's almost time! Get out here!" So they hurry into the stadium...
The DJ comes out and announces the tournament. "Ladies and Gentlemen!" he says with enthusiasm, "It is now time for the Elite 8 Beyblade Tournament!!" He pauses as the crowd applauds. "Here's how it is going to work..." the DJ continues, "The tournament will be an 8-person bracket, double elimination. Here's how the matches are set up: #1 Seed Miles Serge will face #8 Seed G-A Walton, #4 Seed Shad Williams will face #5 Seed Graham Carter, #3 Seed CD Collins will face #6 Seed Devin Collins, and #2 Seed R-Dev will face #7 Seed Cloud Starcutter."
The crowd mumbles and and gives out "ooohs" of interest...
"First!" DJ exclaims, "Will Be Miles Serge and G-A Walton!" The crowd applauds as the two approach the battle area, while the other six go to the sideline. "Bladers, present your Beys!" DJ commands. Miles holds up his bey. "Metal Face-Heavy Wing Pegasis BD145CS" He says, loud and clear. G-A does the same, saying, "Lightning Serpens UW145R2F". "Bladers, Get Ready!", and he announces the famous words, and the crowd joins in. "3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!"

Pegasis and Serpens hit the stadium quickly, and each immediately made contact with each other. "Come on, Pegasis! Hang in there!" Miles shouted. "Go Serpens! Take this loser down!" G-A commanded. Due to its weight, Pegasis pushed Serpens away. "Now, Pegasis! Attack!" Pegasis charges, but Serpens quickly evades, and tries to attack. "Dodge!" Miles shouts, and Pegasis does. "Hm, quite the opponent, you are..." complimented G-A, impressed, "but let's see you handle this! Serpens, Special Move, Fatal Grip!!!"
Snakes starts twisting around Miles' body and entraps Pegasis. "Aaaagh!!" Miles exclaims, in pain. "Come on, Miles!" Devin urged from the sideline, "You can do it! You gotta believe! Release your bey spirit!!" As G-A laughed in his evil manner, Miles focused in his mind. "My Bey Spirit..." He thought, "That's it!"
Miles returned his focus to the battle. "Let's see if this works. Come on, Pegasis!!! Fight!! We can escape!! We WILL escape!!!" After some struggle, Miles and Pegasis miraculously break through the snakes' bind. "H-Huh?!?! H-H-How in the???" G-A stuttered in disbelief. Pegasis then went on a relentless attack. "Now, let's finish him, Pegasis!! Special Move!! Wing Starbreaker!!" Pegasis Jumped up high and slammed directly onto Serpens, and after the dust cleared, Serpens landed in front of G-A's feet, while Pegasis was spinning on.
The crowd erupted in cheers and shouts. "It's over! Miles defeats G-A, and moves on!!" "Yeah!! We did it, Pegasis!" Miles said cheerfully as he picked up his bey. Devin and Cloud ran to congratulate him. G-A hung his head and walked to the sideline. "You did great, Miles!" Devin said, "Great job on using your bey spirit!"
"Thanks!" Miles said happily, "Now, I need to rest for my next match. This tournament's far from over..."

"Well, that was an exciting battle there, wasn't it folks?" the DJ asked. The crowd cheered and applauded in approval. "Now," the DJ resumed, "it is now time for the next match between Shad Williams and Graham Carter!"
The crowd applauded as the two approached the battle area. "Bladers, Present!" exclaimed the DJ. Shad introduced his Earth Ultimate DF145DS, while Graham introduced his Earth Pyxis AD145WD. "Ready? On my mark!" said the DJ, "3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!" Ultimate and Pyxis both landed in the stadium and made quick to attacking each other. The shoving went on for a little bit, and the crowd was watching every bit of it. All that could be heard was the clashing of Ultimate and Pyxis, until Shad broke the silence. "Now, Ultimate! Special Move!! Superior Smash!!" Ultimate flew into the air. "Oh no!! I wasn't prepared for this!" Graham said nervously. "GO!!!" Shad commanded, and Ultimate struck Pyxis with unbelievable force. Pyxis was able to hold on for a few seconds, but it was soon weakened and sent flying back into Graham's hands by Ultimate's strong force.
The crowd erupts in loud cheers of excitement and satisfaction. "And there you have it folks! Shad moves on to the next round!!!" Shad picked up his bey with a smile on his face and walked back to the sideline. Graham slowly picked up his and joined him. "Wow, what a battle, don't you say, Miles?" Devin questioned. "Yeah, sure was!" Miles replied back.
"Now..." DJ remarked, "it's time for the next battle! Devin and CD, come forward to the stadium!" The crowd applauded loudly. This was a match that everybody was interested in. "Looks like it's your turn to battle, Devin..." Cloud remarked. "I hope ya do great, Devin!" Miles encouraged, "You can do it!" "Thanks, guys..." Devin said, enlightened, "Oh, and Miles?" 'Yeah?" "...I WILL do it..."
Devin clinched his bey in his hand and approached the stadium...

Devin approached the stadium, nervous, but ready, as he prepared to face CD. Devin thought carefully. "Okay, it's a good thing I know CD's strategy. His Attack bey is quite the mover, and is known for one-hit KO's. Okay, with that in mind, better be prepared."
He then returned back to reality and presented his bey. "Burn Corona 230D is my bey" he said confidently. The DJ then turned to CD, who presented his bey. "Spiral Draco 90MF" he said.
"Okay now, Bladers, get ready!" DJ ordered. The Bladers were ready. "3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!"
Both beys entered the stadium quickly. Devin, anticipating the head on attack, dodged at just the right time and dodged CD's first attack. He kept up his evasive movement, which gradually started frustrating CD...
At the sideline, Miles and Cloud were whispering to each other. "Miles?" Cloud asked, "How is Devin supposed to win if he just avoids all the time?"
"Y'know, Cloud, I really don't know..." Miles spoke in a strong, serious tone. "Every time I battled him, he only won because he wore me out, and that's what he did with all of his opponents. But CD is smarter than that, and won't fall for that trick. Devin knows that. I don't know what he's gonna do..."
Eventually, after a lot of evasion, CD finally snaps. "THAT'S IT! TIME TO FINISH THIS!" CD angrily remarked, "Draco, Special Move!! Bitestrike!!" CD then attacked with a move Devin couldn't dodge.
"Uh-oh. Should've seen this coming!" Devin thought, "How do I get out of this??"
Miles nervously watched from the sideline, thinking. "Come on, Devin, you gotta win. You gotta think of something. Release your hidden special move. Please, I believe in you..."
Then Devin hatches a brilliant idea. "That's it!!" For the first time ever, Corona leaves the stadium surface, and air dodges Draco, causing Draco to slam into the ground. "WHAT?!?! NO!!!" CD shouted in anger. With Draco weakened, Corona released its special move for the first time. "Now Corona, Special Move!! Dazzling Crown!!!"
Light surrounds Corona as it charges at Draco quickly. "GOOOO!" Devin urged. Corona then struck right on Draco. CD panicked. "NOOOOO! DRACO!!!"
CD's yelling was no use. Draco flew right out of the stadium, and Corona landed lightly back onto the stadium. The crowd, in disbelief, was silent at first, then erupted into a loud cheer.
"What a shock, folks!!" DJ exclaims, "An absolute shock! Devin releases his special move for the first time and defeats CD! He moves on!!"
"Great job, Corona!" Devin said, picking it up. He then ran to his friends and celebrated. He gave Miles a hug.
"Thanks so much for the encouragement, Miles! It really helped!" Devin said happily.
"Anytime, Devin..." Miles replied, "It works a lot..."
"Welp, it's time for the next round..." Cloud then included, "I'm battling...with R-Dev..."
All three looked at each other. Celebrating was over. It was time to be serious...
He then returned back to reality and presented his bey. "Burn Corona 230D is my bey" he said confidently. The DJ then turned to CD, who presented his bey. "Spiral Draco 90MF" he said.

All three looked at each other. Celebrating was over. It was time to be serious...

Now, the last match of the first round; Cloud and R-Dev!" DJ announced.
Cloud was nervous. He couldn't keep still. "What am I supposed to do?" he asked his friends, "I can't beat him!!!"
"Calm down, Cloud..." Devin calmly said.
"You're probably right, Cloud..." Miles said. "Maybe you can't beat him, but it's no reason to give up. Go out there and Try!"
"Y...You're right. I gotta try." Cloud stood up and approached the battle area. R-Dev then slowly approached the arena too, and rose his head.
R-Dev was a chilling figure. He was dressed in all black: Basketball Shoes, pants, shirt, hat, gloves, everything. His eyes were...scary. He didn't even have eyes, just two angry black holes where eyes are supposed to be. He presented his bey, in his chilling voice, "Metal Face-Feather Basalt Impaler 230CS".
Cloud shook at the sound of the bey, and the crowd was silent. Cloud then regained his composure, and presented his bey calmly. "Shinobi Orojya S130MB" he said. R-Dev was intrigued. He had never faced Cloud before. As a matter of fact, he had never faced a Zero-G bey before. He stared at him as he put Impaler on his launcher.
"Bladers, get ready!!" announced the DJ. "3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!"
Impaler and Orojya entered the stadium. "Go, Impaler..." R-Dev commanded. Relentless strikes were given by Impaler. Orojya however, was able to maneuver and avoid all of them. "Hmmmm..." R-Dev said curiously, "Try again, Impaler..." he commanded once again. The strikes went on again. Orojya was once again unscathed.
"Hm...you are such a pain in the--". But before R-Dev could finish the sentence, he was interrupted. "Orojya, Special Move!! Orojya Spear!!" Cloud shouted. Orojya rose into the air and struck Impaler directly. A smoke cloud blew up in the stadium.
"Woah!!" Exclaimed the DJ.
The cloud dissipated, showing Orojya wobbling just slightly. Cloud was staring, looking for Impaler. Impaler finally appeared, barely wobbling.
R-Dev was impressed. "Quite the attack..." He said. "That's the most I ever wobbled in a battle..."
Cloud froze in shock and disbelief, and was silent.
"Too bad that it won't help you win. Impaler, Special Move. Apocalyptic Nightmare."
Cloud broke down in tears and sorrow as he watched Orojya get struck and sent all the way to the coliseum's exit. R-Dev slowly Picked up his bey and walked away.
Everyone, the crowd, the competitors, even the DJ, was silent. No announcement was needed. R-Dev won, fair and square.
Cloud, crying profusely, ran to go get Orojya. Devin and Miles hopped off of the bench and ran after him, while R-Dev stared with an evil smirk.
The three made it to Orojya. "How is it, Cloud?" Devin asked. "It's...worn...but not broken...thank God..." Cloud said, tears still in his eyes...
Miles looked at R-Dev, and he was staring at him. Then Miles spoke quietly to the group, "I think R-Dev had sympathy on you, Cloud..."
"W-What?" Cloud said, confused...
"How could he have had sympathy on him?" Devin questioned, curious...
"In all of the battles I've seen R-Dev battle in, he destroyed his opponents bey far beyond repair. Your bey is still in one piece. I cringe when I say this, but I think he...cared for once..."
The three were silent as they went back to the bench.
R-Dev stared silently, and thought to himself. "Cloud really impressed me. He's quite strong, and he's the weakest of the three. But that doesn't mean anything. Miles, when I reach my battle with you, you are going down, and I will have no sympathy... But for now, my next target is your other friend, Devin. Pray he doesn't break, Miles... Heh Heh Heh..."
Cloud was nervous. He couldn't keep still. "What am I supposed to do?" he asked his friends, "I can't beat him!!!"
"Calm down, Cloud..." Devin calmly said.
"You're probably right, Cloud..." Miles said. "Maybe you can't beat him, but it's no reason to give up. Go out there and Try!"

After everybody recollected from the R-Dev-Cloud match, DJ announced what was next.
"We are now going to move on to our loser bracket." He said. "Our first match will be Graham and CD, followed by G-A and Cloud. First, Graham and CD, come to the front to battle!"
Both approached the stadium ready to battle. "Get ready!" the DJ commanded. "3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!"
Graham's Pyxis and CD's Draco landed in the stadium and immediately started clashing.
CD looked concentrated on the outside, but on the inside, he was FURIOUS. "Miles...." he thought, angrily. "I will get to you, no matter who stands in my way... Devin might have stopped me once, but he's NOT stopping me again!"
With that thought in mind, he unleashed his special move. "Bitestrike!!!" He commanded.
Graham and Pyxis were trapped in the large strike's aftershock, and within seconds, Graham and Pyxis both fell...
The crowd wasn't fond of either blader, but were impressed by CD's strong, quick finish, nonetheless, and applauded when he won. "With that, CD's chances are still alive! Graham has been completely eliminated from the tournament!"
With some assistance, Graham walked out of the coliseum...
Devin and Cloud were silent, but in his mind, Miles couldn't stop rambling...
"CD is angry..." Miles thought to himself, "He is definitely angry about his loss to Devin. I know he wants revenge. That's fine, but he'll have to work for it... Even if he does beat Devin, he has to go through me, too..."
"It's time for the next match! Cloud and G-A, approach the stadium!"
Cloud trembled slightly. "That last battle shook me up. I don't know if I will win or not..."
"Cloud, what did I tell you last time?" Miles questioned.
"At least try?"
"Exactly. Try, or you'll go nowhere..."
".....You're right... I must try..."
With those words, Cloud clenched his Orojya and reported to the stadium.
"Bladers, get ready!" shouted the DJ. "3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!"
"We are now going to move on to our loser bracket." He said. "Our first match will be Graham and CD, followed by G-A and Cloud. First, Graham and CD, come to the front to battle!"

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen!" the DJ announced. "It's time to see who else will have their second chance be in their favor. The fight between Cloud and G-A is underway!!"
Cloud held on with his defense, while G-A kept trying to land strong attacks.
Miles watched from the sideline, thinking... "I can tell G-A is angry, too... He wants a rematch with me, and he'll take down my friends if he needs to. Not if Cloud has anything to say about it..."
He was right. Just as CD was in the battle before him, he looked concentrated on the outside, but was angered in his mind. "You can hide behind your friends, Miles, but their help is only temporary..." he thought. "I will take them down, and the next time we battle, I WILL Win!"
After several minutes of clashing, G-A was frustrated. Cloud's Orojya was standing up to every hit thrown at it.
"Hmph, this is boring..." G-A mumbled. "Time to end it! Serpens, Special Move! Fatal Grip!!!"
Orojya and Cloud were suddenly trapped in the snakes' bind. Cloud struggled, but couldn't get out.
Devin and Miles watched as they saw Cloud lose grip of consciousness slowly...
While unconscious, Cloud thought. "How do I get out of this? The bind is too strong!" He lost all of his hope, until a great idea rang in. "I got it!!!"
He regained consciousness, and started wiggling within the snakes' bind. "Hmmm?" G-A wondered... As Cloud squirmed, Orojya started moving and crashing into the snakes surrounding itself, getting faster with every strike. Eventually, Cloud weakened the snakes and Orojya was free.
"Agh, no!!" G-A did not expect Cloud to break out. Just like Miles, Cloud sent Orojya on a relentless attack towards Serpens. After several hits, Cloud released Orojya's special move. "Go Orojya! Orojya Spear!!!" Orojya jumped up and landed a severe blow straight to Serpens.
The hit was so strong, it split Serpen's Facebolt down the middle, and Serpens was immediately sent flying out of the stadium.
The crowd erupted in cheers. "What a fantastic battle, folks!!" screamed the DJ. "Cloud is the victor, and his second chance continues! G-A has been eliminated!"
G-A walked over to his bey, and slowly and silently drudged himself out of the stadium.
Cloud ran over to his friends. "I can't believe it, I won!" Cloud exclaimed, extremely satisfied.
"You did a great job, Cloud!" Devin remarked, "And that was a great strategy to beat him!"
"Ok now, we will be taking a fifteen minute break to let our bladers regain composure. After that, second round!!"
As Miles and his friends left for their break, he thought to himself...
"This second round...I need to concentrate. I will be facing Shad, and he has a lot of power. I need to build a strategy, but I will defeat him..." He looked up, "And when I do, I will win this tournament, and you, R-Dev, will be defeated..."
Cloud held on with his defense, while G-A kept trying to land strong attacks.
Miles watched from the sideline, thinking... "I can tell G-A is angry, too... He wants a rematch with me, and he'll take down my friends if he needs to. Not if Cloud has anything to say about it..."
He was right. Just as CD was in the battle before him, he looked concentrated on the outside, but was angered in his mind. "You can hide behind your friends, Miles, but their help is only temporary..." he thought. "I will take them down, and the next time we battle, I WILL Win!"
After several minutes of clashing, G-A was frustrated. Cloud's Orojya was standing up to every hit thrown at it.
"Hmph, this is boring..." G-A mumbled. "Time to end it! Serpens, Special Move! Fatal Grip!!!"
Orojya and Cloud were suddenly trapped in the snakes' bind. Cloud struggled, but couldn't get out.
Devin and Miles watched as they saw Cloud lose grip of consciousness slowly...
While unconscious, Cloud thought. "How do I get out of this? The bind is too strong!" He lost all of his hope, until a great idea rang in. "I got it!!!"
He regained consciousness, and started wiggling within the snakes' bind. "Hmmm?" G-A wondered... As Cloud squirmed, Orojya started moving and crashing into the snakes surrounding itself, getting faster with every strike. Eventually, Cloud weakened the snakes and Orojya was free.
"Agh, no!!" G-A did not expect Cloud to break out. Just like Miles, Cloud sent Orojya on a relentless attack towards Serpens. After several hits, Cloud released Orojya's special move. "Go Orojya! Orojya Spear!!!" Orojya jumped up and landed a severe blow straight to Serpens.
The hit was so strong, it split Serpen's Facebolt down the middle, and Serpens was immediately sent flying out of the stadium.
The crowd erupted in cheers. "What a fantastic battle, folks!!" screamed the DJ. "Cloud is the victor, and his second chance continues! G-A has been eliminated!"
G-A walked over to his bey, and slowly and silently drudged himself out of the stadium.
Cloud ran over to his friends. "I can't believe it, I won!" Cloud exclaimed, extremely satisfied.
"You did a great job, Cloud!" Devin remarked, "And that was a great strategy to beat him!"
"Ok now, we will be taking a fifteen minute break to let our bladers regain composure. After that, second round!!"
As Miles and his friends left for their break, he thought to himself...
"This second round...I need to concentrate. I will be facing Shad, and he has a lot of power. I need to build a strategy, but I will defeat him..." He looked up, "And when I do, I will win this tournament, and you, R-Dev, will be defeated..."

Miles, Devin, and Cloud were in a locker room inside the stadium, adjusting their beys... They were making some modifications.
"I'm gonna change from S130MB to 90WD" Cloud said. "I feel uncomfortable with S130MB now. I think this will be better".
"I went and added a Metal Face-Feather on my bey" Devin said. "R-Dev is my next opponent, and he has one. I'm gonna do it just for kicks. What changes are you making, Miles?"
"None..." Miles simply replied...
"None? Are you sure? The field's getting tougher.." Devin questioned...
"I am fine..." Miles said. He stood up and turned to them. "I don't rely on changes or gimmicks to win..." He resumed, and he clutched Pegasis in his hand, "I rely on one thing and one thing only; my bey spirit. A bey spirit has helped me up to this point. It can't fail me now. You guys can use those changes you have, but remember, don't rely on just them. Rely on your bey spirit." He put his hand out, holding Pegasis
Devin looked straight into his eyes. They had been friends and bladers with each other for a long time, and he could tell that Miles was extremely serious...
Finally, he smiled, and said, "Bey Spirit. It always wins..." He placed his hand with Corona over Miles' hand, and turned to Cloud. "Well, Cloud...?"
Cloud was silent. "Bey Spirit..." He kept mumbling to himself. He then rose his head and put his hand with Orojya in with Devin's and Miles'.
After their break was done, the three, along with the remaining contestants, returned to the coliseum.
"Ladies and Gentlemen!" the DJ announced. The crowd silenced, and listened carefully. "It is now time for the second round!!!" The DJ continued. "A major match between R-Dev and Devin will be taking place soon, but first, Miles and Shad, to the stadium!"
Both approached the stadium. Miles held up his MF-H Wing Pegasis BD145CS. No changes. Shad held up his Earth Ultimate DF145DS. No changes.
"Bladers, get ready!!" commanded the DJ. "3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!"
Pegasis and Ultimate clashed, and the largest explosion to take place in the tournament thus far occurred.
This battle was going to shake the coliseum crazy...
"I'm gonna change from S130MB to 90WD" Cloud said. "I feel uncomfortable with S130MB now. I think this will be better".
"I went and added a Metal Face-Feather on my bey" Devin said. "R-Dev is my next opponent, and he has one. I'm gonna do it just for kicks. What changes are you making, Miles?"

Pegasis and Ultimate were relentlessly smashing each other in the stadium. Neither of them were giving an inch.
"Go, Pegasis!! Keep fighting!" Miles urged.
"Come on, Ultimate! He should be finished by now!" Shad Commanded...
The relentless clashing continued, and the crowd was on their feet, cheering and screaming. "This is quite the battle, everyone!" announced the DJ. "This is without a doubt the best beattle to take place so far!"
Finally, Shad lost his patience. "Go Ultimate! Special Move!! Superior Smash!!!"
Ultimate flew into the air and struck directly onto Pegasis. It continued with the forceful strikes. A rattling was coming from Pegasis.
"Oh no!" Miles thought to himself, "Pegasis is loose, if I crash out, my odds will be stacked against me!"
Shad let out his evil laugh. "Look at this power!" Shad taunted, "What are you gonna do now, huh, Miles???"
Miles was silent. "What do I do? What do I do?" He kept thinking to himself, then it hit him... "Why, that's it; Bey Spirit!!!"
"Come on, Miles!" Shad continued taunting, "Answer me--"
"Here's my answer; I'm gonna use my Bey Spirit!!!" Miles shouted.
"Ha! Like that's gonna help you. Minus well give up!" Shad insulted.
"Never!! Not without a fight!!" Miles shouted, then he faced his bey. "Come on, Pegasis!! Fight back. We have to win this!!!"
Slowly, but surely, Pegasis started strengthening and resisting Ultimate's hits.
"What is this?" Shad questioned.
"This, Shad, is the power of the Bey Spirit!!" Miles replied...
Immediately afterwards, Pegasis forced Ultimate upwards, and attacked it in the air, sending Ultimate to the ground. Now Pegasis was attacking Ultimate.
Now, Pegasis! Finish him, Special Move! Wing Starbreaker!!"
Pegasis flew high and started speeding towards Ultimate in a blur. Within a second, Pegasis struck Ultimate. A glow was released with the strike.
"NOOOOO! ULTIMATE!!!" Shad yelled in desperation...
It was too late. The stadium exploded with a large BOOM! Dust surrounded the stadium. Everyone, the competitors, the DJ, the crowd, all were desperately looking to spot the beys...
A father watching in the crowd broke the silence. "Over there, by the wall! There's Ultimate!"
The crowd looked. Sure enough, there Was Ultimate, lodged into the wall.
"But...Where's Pegasis?" Another spectator asked. Nobody, not even Miles knew.
"Pegasis?" Miles questioned.
Then, a young teenage girl, about the same age as Miles, spotted Pegasis. "Look there! Pegasis is on the edge of the stadium! It's...still spinning!!!"
The crowd again looked. Once the smoke cleared, they spotted Pegasis, spinning on the very edge of the stadium.
It was then that the crowd erupted in a loud mix of cheers and applaud.
"WHAT AN EXCITING BATTLE, FOLKS!!" exclaimed the DJ. "Miles wins, advancing to the third round! Shad goes to the loser bracket..."
Miles picked up his bey. "Good job, Pegasis. Good job..."
Devin and Cloud rushed to congratulate Miles.
"What a battle, man! Great job!" Devin said.
"I didn't know you had so much energy, Miles! Great job, way to win!!" Cloud remarked.
"Thanks, guys..." Miles said. He then headed over to the girl who spotted his bey. She was standing in the front row.
"That was a great battle there, Miles!" She complimented. "You did a great job..."
"Thanks for that. Also, thank you for spotting my bey. I was seriously stressed. I couldn't find it, hehe..." He said. "Say, what's your name anyway?
"Bri. Bri Crawford..." She said sweetly. "I go to your school. I've seen you around a few times..."
"Oh yeah! I remember!" He replied. "I've seen you a few times, too!"
"Let's talk after this next match. Looks like your friend is about to battle!" Bri said...
"Oh okay then! Will do!" Miles replied, and he ran back to his friends.
"Okay..." Devin said, clutching Corona in his hand, "Time to face R-Dev. I might not win, but no reason not to try. Must give one-hundred percent..."
"Good luck, Devin..." Miles encouraged Devin as he walked to the stadium.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! It's now time for Devin and R-Dev to battle!"
Devin and R-Dev readied themselves and were prepared to battle...
The DJ then announced the famous words. "3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!"
"Go, Pegasis!! Keep fighting!" Miles urged.
"Come on, Ultimate! He should be finished by now!" Shad Commanded...

Devin's Corona and R-Dev's Impaler hit the stadium. Devin was dodging most of the moves pretty easily.
R-Dev looked at Corona. He spotted the MF-F that Devin put on it. On the surface, he looked like it was nothing. Inside, he was thinking of ways to demolish Devin.
"Pretty clever, Devin. Trying to copy me like that..." He thought. "That's just too bad for you..."
"Keep dodging, Corona!" Devin yelled. "We can do this!!"
"Smash him, Impaler..." R-Dev commanded.
Impaler kept slamming his unbelievable weight into the stadium, trying to hit Corona. All of the shots missed.
"Now Corona, Special Move! Dazzling Crown!!" Devin commanded.
Corona flew up and gave a strong smash into Impaler. A large dust cloud formed from the attack. Once it cleared, Corona was stuck in a crater, still spinning. Impaler was wobbling was now moving more erratically.
"Pretty good strike, Devin..."R-Dev complimented. "But it appears the attack just made Impaler more aggressive.... Time to finish this. Impaler, Special move. Apocalyptic Nightmare.."
The strike engulfed Corona, and Devin, in a large beam of energy. When it was clear, Devin was flown from the stadium, unconscious...
All that could be heard were small mumbles from the crowd. The DJ didn't say anything. He didn't need to. Once again, R-Dev won, fair and square...
"DEVIN!!!" Miles shouted. He ran to Devin, tears in his eyes.
When he got there, he knelt down to him. "Devin... Please answer me..." Miles begged. "Please, Devin..."
"Urrrrgh..." Devin finally came back together. "M...Miles..."
"Devin..." Miles stared sadly, still crying...
"Miles...get...Corona..." Devin asked. Miles did so, and brought it to him. Devin carefully checked it out...
"No damage...Corona...is fine...thank god..." Devin said...
"Devin...Are you alright...?" Miles asked...
"C-Can't move..." Devin answered...
"Oh my god, Cloud, get over here!" Miles shouted. Cloud came and together they both helped Devin to the infirmary...
R-Dev watched Miles and Cloud carry Devin as he walked back to the bench, and thought to himself...
"It was his own damn fault, Miles. You better know that... It's what the mortals get for challenging me..."
R-Dev looked at Corona. He spotted the MF-F that Devin put on it. On the surface, he looked like it was nothing. Inside, he was thinking of ways to demolish Devin.
"Pretty clever, Devin. Trying to copy me like that..." He thought. "That's just too bad for you..."

The DJ had declared a break before they would continue. Shad Williams would be facing CD Collins, while Cloud and Devin would also battle...
Bri was waiting outside the infirmary doors, nervous about Devin's condition. He was slung about 75 feet during his battle with R-Dev...
Miles finally walked out with a expression of relief on his face...
"So, is Devin gonna be okay?" Bri questioned...
"Yes, he'll be fine..." Miles answered. "He was just paralyzed for a second, and he just had several scratches everywhere. He'll be back in time for his match..."
"Phew, that's a relief..." Bri remarked. "So, after these two matches, you face R-Dev for the first time, huh?"
"Yeah..." Miles answered. "And even if I win or lose, I still have a chance to face him again, and win this tournament..."
"I hope so..." Bri said back, and as she was about to go back to the stadium seats, she tripped. "AH!" she said, and she landed on top of Miles.
"Uhhhh..." Bri stammered, and pushed herself off of Miles, blushing a little.
"Everything okay, Bri?" Miles questioned...
"Yes-- I mean, *sigh* ...actually...I need to tell you something..."
"Yeah?"
"It's been something I've been wanting to say for a while, to be honest. Miles..."
"What is it, Bri?"
"I... I love you..."
Miles just stood there, bright red in the face. "Really?? Because...um...I love you too..."
The two just stood there, blushing like crazy...
" I-I need to go..." Bri remarked as she tried to leave. Miles grabbed her by the arm...
"No..." Miles said, serious. "Please...stay with me...I need the love...."
She walked closer to Miles and gave him a big hug...
"HEY!" Devin shouted. He was standing behind the two on some crutches. "Ya didn't kiss while I was gone, did ya?"
The two turned to him. Miles and Bri were both trying to hide their laughter.
"Nah, I'm messin'. I'm gonna head out there now..." Devin said... "I'll see y'all in a bit...", and he left...
Miles then turned to Bri and said, "I think we should stay together. How about you come with me out to the stadium and watch with me and my friends?"
"Sure..." she answered and they walked, hand in hand, to the stadium...
When they got out there, the DJ was ready to resume...
"Okay now, time to continue our loser bracket! Devin and Cloud will be battling soon, but first, Shad and CD, to the stadium!"
Both approached the stadium. Shad presented his Earth Ultimate DF145DS. However, CD changed his style. He presented a bey that looked nothing like his other bey. "Metal Face Flash Draco S130RF!" He said, emphasizingly. Both readied themselves and prepared to launch...
3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!

Shad's Ultimate and CD's new Flash Draco landed in the stadium and started circling each other...
"The battle between Shad and CD has begun!" the DJ announced. "Looks like the bladers are having a bit of a standoff!"
After an exchange of intimidating stares, both attacked head on. Shad had the ability to last long and attack hard, but he had no Defense... CD knew that, and was gonna make sure of Shad's defeat...
Draco backed off then started quickly and repeatedly attacking. Ultimate was getting blasted far back with each hit, narrowly avoiding KO with each hit...
"What the?" Shad said, confused... "How much power does that thing have?!"
"Dunno..." CD replied. "I do know it has more than you, though..."
After striking Ultimate several times with no KO, CD's patience wore out...
"I'm bored. Minus well end this!" CD said. "Draco, Special Move! Flash Bitestrike!!!"
Draco jumped up higher than it has ever gone, and started falling like a meteor towards the weakened and paralyzed Ultimate...
"Ultimate, No!!" Shad screamed in desperation...
Too late. Draco struck Ultimate so hard that Ultimate literally flew completely out of the stadium...
The crowd applauded loudly. This was the first time ever that a KO sent a bey out of the coliseum...
"It's over!" DJ screamed. "CD moves on with tremendous momentum. Shad's out of the tournament!"
No, Ultimate!" Shad ran out of the coliseum to go find Ultimate...
What a shot, huh, Miles?" Bri asked...
"Yeah, quite a shot..." Miles answered...
"Wow..." Devin said, turning to Cloud... "To think that one of us have to face him..."
Yeah..." Cloud answered. "ONE, of us..."
Cloud stood up. Devin ditched his crutches and stood up, too. They both had the epic stare-down of a lifetime.
"Okay, boys, break it up..." Bri said, pushing them away from each other...
"Yeah, save it for the match..." Miles added...
"Fine then. Don't think I'm gonna be easy, Cloud!" Devin warned...
"I was gonna say the same thing to you..." Cloud remarked...
"Next match, Devin and Cloud!!" DJ announced. "To the stadium with both of you!"
Devin and Cloud stared at each other, and gave each other a handshake as they both headed for the stadium...
Bri and Miles both sat back down to watch their friends battle each other...
"I am gonna have one big hell of a battle with R-Dev after this..." Miles thought... "It's gonna be stressing..." he smiled. "But for now, that's behind me. I'm going to have fun watching my two best friends battle, and nothing's gonna stop that..."

Devin and Cloud approached the stadium and faced each other. Devin atttached his Burn Corona 230D to his launcher, while Cloud attached his Shinobi Orojya 90WD...
"Ready, bladers?" DJ asked. Both nodded in reply. "3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!"
Corona and Orojya hit the stadium quickly and attacked each other immediately...
"We can do this, Corona! Fight with all your power!" Devin yelled...
"Come on, Orojya, attack like you never attacked before!" Cloud shouted...
Both beys kept striking and attacking and neither was giving an inch...
Bri and Miles watched from the bench as the two battled.
"Wow!!" Bri remarked, "Both of them are fighting really well! I can't predict who's gonna win!"
"Yeah!" Miles replied, "Their bey spirit allows them to do that... I'm so excited to see who wins!"
After much clashing, Corona and Orojya both looked tired out...
"Huh..." Devin said, intrigued. "Hey Cloud, how about we both give one last large attack to see who wins?"
Cloud thought for a second. finally he replied, "Sounds good to me! Orojya, Special Move! Orojya Spear!!!"
"Corona, Dazzling Crown!!!" Devin quickly shouted...
Both beys struck and formed a giant smoke cloud in the entire coliseum. They clashed with such force that the bench Bri and Miles was sitting on BROKE under them. They both fell, unseen in the cloud of dust... Finally it settled slightly. The crowd was looking carefully to spot the winner. Orojya was out of the stadium, while Corona has wobbling a lot, but still in the stadium. Devin had won...
The crowd exploded with cheers after seeing the battle. "There ya have it, folks!" DJ announced. "Devin moves on and eliminates Cloud!!"
Cloud plunked on the ground, out of energy. Devin walked around to him and helped him up.
"Good battle, Cloud..." Devin said, offering his hand. "I really enjoyed it..."
Cloud took Devin's hand and replied, "Me too, me too..."
"Ok now!" said the DJ. "We are going to take another break, then, it's Miles and R-Dev: Part 1!"
"Ready, bladers?" DJ asked. Both nodded in reply. "3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!"
Corona and Orojya hit the stadium quickly and attacked each other immediately...
"We can do this, Corona! Fight with all your power!" Devin yelled...
"Come on, Orojya, attack like you never attacked before!" Cloud shouted...
Both beys kept striking and attacking and neither was giving an inch...
Bri and Miles watched from the bench as the two battled.
"Wow!!" Bri remarked, "Both of them are fighting really well! I can't predict who's gonna win!"
"Yeah!" Miles replied, "Their bey spirit allows them to do that... I'm so excited to see who wins!"
After much clashing, Corona and Orojya both looked tired out...
"Huh..." Devin said, intrigued. "Hey Cloud, how about we both give one last large attack to see who wins?"
Cloud thought for a second. finally he replied, "Sounds good to me! Orojya, Special Move! Orojya Spear!!!"
"Corona, Dazzling Crown!!!" Devin quickly shouted...
Both beys struck and formed a giant smoke cloud in the entire coliseum. They clashed with such force that the bench Bri and Miles was sitting on BROKE under them.

Devin and Cloud started walking their way towards the bench. When they got there, they were silent. Behind the bench that they broke, Bri and Miles fell off the bench, and Bri was laying on top of Miles...
"Uh..." Cloud mumbled...
"Explanation, please?" Devin requested...
It took a few seconds for them to realize that they were on top of each other. Bri pushed herself off hurriedly and ran to the locker room... Miles got up slowly, blushing...
"What's going on, man...?" Cloud asked...
"N...Nothing..." Miles stammered.
"Something..." Devin interrupted. "Cloud, I need to have a "private" talk with Miles. Mind if we leave for a little?"
"No problem, man..." Cloud said, and he left...
After he left, Devin put his arms around Miles and started walking towards the locker room...
"Dude, listen to me..." Devin commanded, "I know what's going on with you and Bri. I know you love her. You need to go talk to her..."
"B-but..." Miles stammered again, "W-what if she hates me now--"
"She doesn't hate you!" Devin interrupted again, "She is just being like you; embarrassed. She's not used to it, just like you are... She's your first love. You couldn't possibly be prepared for it... Now, go find her and fix this, got it?"
Miles was silent for a second. He knew Devin was right. He couldn't be prepared at all. He finally answered...
"Ok..." was his answer, and he went to find her...
A few minutes later, he found her, sitting against the wall in the locker room...
"Hey..." Miles said...
"Hi..." Bri replied...
"You ok?"
"Yeah..."
"How ya feel?"
"Uncomfortable..."
"Look..." Miles said, "I know you're not ready for this, but we're not gonna stop feeling uncomfortable until we can express our love without fear. Devin explained it all to me. Neither of us could expect it..."
Bri stood up. "You're right..." She said. "It was...unexpected... Maybe we should just...get it over with..."
"What do you mean by that?" Miles asked...
Bri was silent, then she slowly walked closer to Miles and then, out of nowhere, she leaned in and kissed Miles on the lips.
Miles did not pull away. He did not push her. He did not resist at all. He stood there and continued kissing her back.
After what felt like forever, they stopped and look at each other...
"Feel better?" Miles asked...
"Yeah...much better!" Bri answered, and she smiled a little... "I think we can do this..."
"I think so too..." Miles answered, smiling back, "We will do this...". They hugged, and together they walked, hand-in-hand, back to the stadium...
"Uh..." Cloud mumbled...
"Explanation, please?" Devin requested...
It took a few seconds for them to realize that they were on top of each other. Bri pushed herself off hurriedly and ran to the locker room... Miles got up slowly, blushing...

After all players returned to the stadium, DJ began his announcement...
"Ladies and Gentlemen! It is time for Miles VS R-Dev!"
The crowd erupted in cheers and shouts as they called the match. R-Dev began walking to the stadium...
"Looks like it's time, huh, Miles?" Devin said.
"Looks like it!" Miles replied. "Better be ready for a fight! I have a feeling that after this match we will be meeting up in the Finals..."
"You can do it, Miles!" Bri said, confidently, "You WILL do it..."
Miles nodded and approached the stadium and presented his bey. Metal Face-Heavy Wing Pegasis BD145CS. No changes...
R-Dev then presented his bey. Metal Face-Feather Basalt Impaler 230CS. Also, no changes. However, it appeared that R-Dev obtained a new grip. Instead of grey and black like it was, It was completely black, with a picture of a White Skull on the top... Both players then placed their beys on their launchers...
"Ready?" DJ asked. Both Players nodded. "3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!"
Pegasis and Impaler both hit the stadium, and immediately charged at each other. The crowd cheered as the battle ensued. "R-Dev and Miles are battling hard!" DJ announced, "Neither of them are giving up!"
R-Dev was applying some of his most powerful moves to attack, smashing as hard as possible. Hit or Miss, Pegasis was not going down at all.
"Grrrr..." R-Dev growled, "Why do you stand up to such a superior opponent?! Do you never learn?!"
"Oh, I learn, R-Dev..." Miles replied, "I learn quite a bit when I'm in a battle, and I'm learning a lot against you..."
R-Dev clenched his sharp teeth at Miles words. After seeing several attacks fail to bring Pegasis down, he had enough. "Impaler, Special Move!! Apocalyptic Nightmare!!!!"
Impaler flew up into the air and started its way down. Devin, Cloud, and Bri closed their eyes, frightened of the result... Impaler landed, and the biggest dust cloud so far formed, giving nobody the opporitunity to see if R-Dev's attack hit its mark.
It was a few minutes before the air finally cleared. Devin, Cloud, and Bri looked carefully fearing the worst. They spotted Miles, on the ground. They hung their head in despair.
Suddenly, a child screams out. "Look!" He says, "Pegasis is still spinning!"
The crowd looks. Sure enough, still spinning hard, Pegasis stood in the stadium, with Impaler wobbling uncontrollably.
"WHAT?" R-Dev exclaimed in absolute shock. "Impaler, come on! Finish him!!"
As R-Dev screamed, Miles slowly rose his arm up. His friends looked on, surprised. He slowly used what was left of his force to get up, and after a little while, he stood.
"NO!!" R-Dev screamed. "Why aren't you dead??"
Although the crowd did not hear those words, Miles' friends gasped.
"I knew it..." Miles thought. "I knew he was trying that. He wanted to kill me with his attack. Well, R-Dev, it didn't work..."
Then, with all the strength he had in his lungs, he let out his spirit-filled attack. "Pegasis!! Special Move, Wing Starbreaker!!!"
Pegasis flew up and struck dead-on R-Dev's immobilized bey, and launched it out of the stadium...
The crowd screamed so loud you could've heard it from the next town. "What a feat, folks!!" DJ shouted with excitement, "Miles moves on, and R-Dev goes to the loser bracket!!!"
R-Dev walked over to his bey and slowly picked up. He then left, calm on the surface, and inside, an anger so overbearingly strong was brewing...
Devin, Cloud and Bri ran to Miles, who had fallen to his knees after the attack.
"You did it!!!" Cloud said, happily, "You defeated R-Dev for the first time!!"
"Good job, buddy!!!" Devin encouraged. "Who would've thought you would've won against such a hard opponent!!"
"Amazing job, Miles!" Bri said, hugging him... "I'm proud..."
"Thanks guys..." Miles said, weakly...
"Alright, now, looks like that battle caused quite a bit of damage, so while we repair it, we'll take a break, and when we return, Devin VS CD, the rematch!! The winner will face R-Dev, which the winner there will then face Miles!!"
"Mind helping me up, guys?" Miles asked, "I'm tired and I need something to eat..."
They all laughed and headed back to the locker room...
"Ladies and Gentlemen! It is time for Miles VS R-Dev!"
The crowd erupted in cheers and shouts as they called the match. R-Dev began walking to the stadium...

They all laughed and headed back to the locker room...
Spoiler (Click to View)
Miles, Devin, Cloud, and Bri arrived back at the locker room after getting something to eat.
"Phew! That battle tired me out!" Miles said, "Luckily, I built my energy back up..."
"I still think ya did good, Miles..." Bri said, encouragingly. "The battle was absolutely wonderful...."
"Yeah, you did a great job!!" Devin included. "Anyways, you should get your bey so you can be prepared for your battle later on..."
"You're closer to my locker, can you get it?" Miles replied, laughing...
"Ha, ha, ha! Sure thing, man!" Devin said, and he went to get his bey in the locker in the corner of the room...
Suddenly, disaster...
When Devin opened the locker, a sharp knife flew out. It caught the side of Devin's right arm and lodged into the wall. Devin fell to the ground in pain, holding his bleeding right arm.
"DEVIN!!!" Miles shouted. He and Bri ran to his side. "Devin, are you okay?!?!"
"Of course not!!!" Devin screamed, "I'm bleeding dammit!!"
Cloud had left the room and came back with a first-aid kit. He started wrapping up Devin's wound...
Bri walked over to the wall and pulled the knife out of the wall...
"Who the hell did this??" She said, confused...
"Look, there's a letter there!" Cloud exclaimed, and he went to read it...
"What does it say?" Miles asked...
"I...I don't know..." Cloud answered..." It looks all scribbled and messy. I can't make out the letters..."
"Lemme see..." Miles asked. Cloud handed him the letter. "It's smeared a little. I can clear it up. Hang on.."
After a few seconds of rubbing the paper it was clear. Still a scribbled mess, but easier to read. It said this:
Miles,
You defeated me in battle, and I cannot take that as the result.
I WILL return to the finals to face you again, and I am NOT losing again. You will fall to my hands, and I will make sure you never walk the face of this Earth again!
I suggest you heed this warning and give up. I know you value your life, and I can take it away in no time...
However, don't heed my warning, and I take your friends, one...by one...and you'll be all alone.
Cloud, your motivation, gone...
Bri, the love of your life, gone...
And Devin, your best friend, friends ever since childhood, inseparable...gone...
So listen and listen good, I will NOT lose this round, and I WILL win this tournament, and make sure you are never heard from again...
Now think carefully of your choices, Miles; Surrender, and allow me to reign champion, or fight me, and lose everything...
You battle at your own risk, but if you do, I have a question...
Are YOU ready...to die? We'll see...
R-Dev
"R-DEV?" Devin exclaimed. "He really...wants to kill you?!?!?!"
"Why the little son of a..." Miles said, angered, and he ripped up R-Dev's letter and started growling a little...
"Miles? You okay?" Devin asked..."
Miles turned and pointed at the door. "R-DEV!" He said...
Sure enough, when his friends turned, R-Dev was there, standing at the door...
"You think you're so tough..." Miles said, approaching him... "You think you're so powerful. You believe you're immortal. Here's reality for you, R-Dev..." Miles stepped up to R-Dev and stared him straight in the eyes... "Nobody, is immortal....and you, are far from it..."
Miles then threw a punch and landed it right on R-Dev's jaw.
R-Dev, slowly rolled his head straight, and replied back... "If that is the case..." He started, "How come your friends have fallen to me? And why aren't they dead?" He paused, then resumed... "They are not dead, because they do not have the strength, or the power, or even the courage, to approach me. Seeing you stand up to me, is pathetic. You want to challenge me? Fine, but be writing you final will...and be ready to receive your death wish..."
R-De then threw a clean punch right into Miles' left eye. he fell to the ground with a smack. R-Dev laughed and walked away...
"MILES!!" Devin shouted as he ran to Miles. "Miles, you awake?"
Miles didn't say anything, but slowly got up, his left eye now black, bleeding a little...
"Oh dear god..." Devin said, "I'm gonna go get a medic.."
But before he could run off, Miles caught him. "I don't need a damn medic..." He said strenly, "I need you to get ready to win. You beat CD, face R-Dev, and show that loser that I'm not the only damn person that's gonna stand up to him... Got it???"
Devin stared strongly. He could tell Miles was being extremely serious by his stare. Devin stared back, and replied...
"Yes, Miles..." He said... "I will do it for you...my best friend..."
He turned and walked back to the stadium, his friends right behind him...
"Just you wait, R-Dev..." Devin thought, "I'll prove that Miles is not the only one standing up to you. I AM going to face you, and even if I lose, I will hold my ground to the very end... And if you face Miles, he will send you to the ground, like he did last time..."
"Phew! That battle tired me out!" Miles said, "Luckily, I built my energy back up..."
"I still think ya did good, Miles..." Bri said, encouragingly. "The battle was absolutely wonderful...."
"Yeah, you did a great job!!" Devin included. "Anyways, you should get your bey so you can be prepared for your battle later on..."

Miles, Bri, Devin, and Cloud walked back out to the arena and sat down, waiting to resume...
"Looks like they repaired the stadium..." Miles said...
"Sure does. They did a good job..." Devin replied...
After a few moments, the DJ came back out to get the action back underway...
"Ladies and Gentlemen!" DJ announced, "It is time to continue our tournament. We start off, with Devin and CD, the rematch!!"
The crowd cheered as the match was called.
Devin clenched his bey as he approached the stadium. "CD's th only thing standing between you and me, R-Dev," Devin thought, "and he's not gonna stop me from getting to battle you..."
Devin showed his MF-F Burn Corona 230D, and CD showed his MF Flash Draco S130RF.
Both readied their beys and were prepared to battle.
3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!
Corona and Draco hit the stadium. Immediately, Draco charged for Corona. Devin, doing what he does best, commanded Corona to keep dodging, so it did. Every attack that CD threw was being dodged, just like last time...
Once again, after failing to hit Corona again, he snapped. "NOT AGAIN, I'M TIRED OF THIS!!! SPECIAL MOVE!! FLASH BITESTRIKE!!!"
Flash started landing attacks very quickly. Corona was being slammed by every attack, and getting closer to the edge...
Devin thought quickly for an idea. "What do I do? I can't dodge him just standing on the ground! Wait...that's it!"
"Corona, to the air!!" Devin commanded...
Corona flew up high into the air.
"Follow him, Draco!!" CD yelled...
However, CD made one mistake about switching to Flash; Flash was MUCH heavier, and Draco couldn't even leave the ground.
"AGH, NO!" CD yelled...
"You're done for!" Devin shouted, "Corona, Special Move, Dazzling Crown!!"
Corona struck with much force, but didn't KO Draco. However, Draco was immobilized.
"Hmmm..." Devin said, quietly. "How about we add the final pressure?"
Corona then started circling the stadium pretty fast.
Cloud and Bri didn't know what was happening. "What's he doing?" They asked simultaneously...
"Heh, he's slowly closing in on him..." Miles replied...
Sure enough, with every loop around the stadium, Corona was getting closer to Draco.
"NO, DRACO!" CD shouted...
Just like last time, no use. Corona slammed into Draco hard, instantly KO'ing it.
The crowd cheered loud and applauded. "What a battle!" DJ remarked, "Devin goes to face R-Dev, and CD's leaves in 4th place..."
Devin walked over to his friends to celebrate.
"Smart move, buddy!" Miles remarked, "Now you got a gameplan for R-Dev..."
"Yep, and I'm ready to face him!" Devin answered. "Doesn't matter if I lose, I'm gonna stand up to him, just like you told me to. You will not be alone, Miles!"
"Now that's what I like to hear!" Miles said, enthusiastically. "Now, get out there and show him what you got!"
"Next up, Devin VS R-Dev, the rematch!" DJ announced.
The crowd cheered as both of them approached the stadium. Both readied their beys and prepared for launch.
Devin was staring at R-Dev. R-Dev had a white glow in his left eye...
"He's beyond pissed..." Devin thought. "He wants to murder, now... Well, he's not killing me!"
"Bladers ready?" DJ asked.
Both nodded....
3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!
"Looks like they repaired the stadium..." Miles said...

"Hmmm..." Devin said, quietly. "How about we add the final pressure?"
Corona then started circling the stadium pretty fast.
Cloud and Bri didn't know what was happening. "What's he doing?" They asked simultaneously...
"Heh, he's slowly closing in on him..." Miles replied...
Sure enough, with every loop around the stadium, Corona was getting closer to Draco.
"NO, DRACO!" CD shouted...
Just like last time, no use. Corona slammed into Draco hard, instantly KO'ing it.
The crowd cheered loud and applauded. "What a battle!" DJ remarked, "Devin goes to face R-Dev, and CD's leaves in 4th place..."
Devin walked over to his friends to celebrate.
"Smart move, buddy!" Miles remarked, "Now you got a gameplan for R-Dev..."
"Yep, and I'm ready to face him!" Devin answered. "Doesn't matter if I lose, I'm gonna stand up to him, just like you told me to. You will not be alone, Miles!"
"Now that's what I like to hear!" Miles said, enthusiastically. "Now, get out there and show him what you got!"
"Next up, Devin VS R-Dev, the rematch!" DJ announced.
The crowd cheered as both of them approached the stadium. Both readied their beys and prepared for launch.
Devin was staring at R-Dev. R-Dev had a white glow in his left eye...
"He's beyond pissed..." Devin thought. "He wants to murder, now... Well, he's not killing me!"
"Bladers ready?" DJ asked.
Both nodded....
3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!

As R-Dev stared at the battle, he was thinking quietly to himself...
"Hm..." He thought. "Miles thinks he's so tough, and it looks like I'm forced to battle his guinea pig Devin to face him. I'm pissed at what he did. He's not getting off of it so easily..."
Devin's Corona and R-Dev's Impaler were clashing much more than they were in their last battle...
"No more running this time..." Devin thought to himself, "Time to stand up and fight like a man!"
Corona crashed into Impaler several times, kicking Impaler back to the edge a few times...
"Hmph, Impaler, Special Move! Apocalyptic Nightmare!!" R-Dev commanded...
Impaler flew high and struck hard. Corona withstood the attack!
"Hah!" Devin replied, "That's not gonna work this time! Corona, Special Move, Dazzling Crown!!"
Corona flew up and landed directly on Impaler. Impaler was on the edge of falling...
"So what now, R-Dev?" Devin asked...
"No..." R-Dev mumbled. "No! NOOOO!"
Impaler then started gaining spin, and actually started drilling a hole into the stadium!
"Oh god, w-what's happening?" Devin said nervous...
"YOUR DEATH!!" R-Dev yelled, his left eye now completely white and bloodshot, "SPECIAL MOVE!!! INFINITE OBLITERATION!!!"
Impaler flew up so high, and started aiming directly for Corona.
"Uh oh..." Devin said, ducking...
"Oh god..." Miles said, "GUYS, TAKE COVER!!" He, Cloud, and Bri hid behind the bench...
"Uh oh! This is gonna be a big attack! Everybody duck!!" DJ screamed, and everyone did.
"DIIIIIIIIIE!!!" R-Dev yelled as the bey collided with Corona.
The coliseum almost fell to the ground. And after several minutes, the smoke cleared. The crowd, the DJ, and Devin's friends all slowly peeked up...
There was a strongly spinning Impaler in the stadium, a Corona split into it's five parts beside the stadium, and a knocked-out Devin by the wall on the other side of the arena.
Nobody said a thing. All that could be heard was R-Dev's slow footsteps, leaving the stadium, and Miles quick footsteps, running to Devin.
"DEVIN!" Miles yelled, kneeling down to him, "Devin, you okay?"
No answer...
"Devin, answer me!!"
Still, no answer...
"No, Devin..."
Cloud and Bri ran up beside him as Miles broke into heavy tears... Bri checked for a pulse...
"It's weak..." She said, "...but it's there..."
"We gotta get him to the hospital..." Cloud said. "MEDIC!"
The paramedics arrived and strapped Devin into the stretcher. Miles cried into Bri's arms as Devin was placed into the ambulance and driven off...
The stadium was completely destroyed, so they had to call a break...
Miles, still teary-eyed, broke away from Bri's arms, and started running for the exit.
"Wait, Miles!" Cloud yelled, "Where are you going?"
"I'm not, gonna just stand by, and let Devin fight for his life alone! I have to go after him, and I don't give a damn what anyone thinks! He's..my friend...and nobody, not even R-Dev, is gonna ruin that..."
Then, Miles turned and continued running. Cloud and Bri looked at each other, and followed behind him.
R-Dev stared as they ran off...
"I told you, Miles... I was gonna take em down one by one..." He said quietly... "He was first to get it. I released not even half of my energy on him. I swear to god, if he's not dead, you will have no damn idea what you'll be getting yourself into in the next round... Better hope you have a tombstone ready. It's more likely you're gonna need it now... Hehehehehe....."
"Hm..." He thought. "Miles thinks he's so tough, and it looks like I'm forced to battle his guinea pig Devin to face him. I'm pissed at what he did. He's not getting off of it so easily..."

Miles was just sitting in a chair next to Devin, who was unconscious in the hospital bed next to him...
"Please, Devin... Wake up..." Miles whispered, tears in his eyes...
Bri and Cloud were standing outside, watching the two...
"I feel so bad for them both..." Bri said to Cloud, "Devin, getting clobbered by that enormous attack. I hope he's alright..."
"Yeah..." Cloud replied... "And Miles just has to sit by and wait to see if his best friend will be safe...."
After a few moments, the Doctor came into Devin's room.
"Well?" Miles asked the doctor, "Is he gonna be okay?"
With a breath and nod of assurance, he replied, "Yes he will..."
Miles let out a sigh of relief...
"The hit only knocked him out for a bit. Remarkably, nothing was broken. His only problem is that his muscles are much weaker now than they were, and he'll need time for them to recover, but other than that, he'll be fine..."
"Thank you so much! You have no idea how relieved I am..." Miles said...
"No worries..." Doc replied, "I'll be nearby, and just holler out when he starts waking up..." He nodded, then left...
About 45 minutes later, Devin started groaning a little.
Miles hopped up and looked carefully. "Devin?" he said quietly...
"Urrrrrrrrgggghhh...M...M-Miles?" Devin said, still waking up...
"Oh thank god! Guys, he's up!!"
Bri, Cloud, and the Doctor came in as Devin started opening his eyes...
"So, how ya feel, Mr. Collins?" the doctor asked...
"Ugh, not too bad, honestly..." Devin replied...
"Well, that's good... I'll go get some forms signed. He should be out tomorrow..." The doctor nodded again, and left...
"Well, I'm alive!" Devin said jokingly.
"Yep, sure are..." Miles answered, "However, I still gotta battle R-Dev for the finals... Too bad you can't support me..."
"Yeah, that sucks..." Devin answered, "But hey, I need to rest my muscles. Don't want to start injuring stuff, y'know..."
"Yeah..." Cloud said, "Too many problems. Anyways, were heading back to the stadium, Miles. See ya there..."
After Cloud and Bri left, Miles began following after them.
"See ya soon, Devin!" He said enthusiastically...
"Wait, Miles!" Devin said quickly...
"Yes?"
"I need to tell you something..."
"What is it?"
"Come here..."
Miles walked back over to Devin. "What did you need to say?"
Devin just put his arms around Miles and gave him a hug. "Thank you so much for caring about me, Miles..."
Miles hugged as well and replied, "You too, Devin... I'll remember that during battle...."
Then Miles left, and walked out of the hospital, back towards the stadium...
"I'm coming for you, R-Dev..." Miles thought. "It's time to decide who's the champ, who's number one, who will reign champion... It WILL be me, and I will NOT be falling to you... Time for the worst battle of your lifetime, R-Dev... Be prepared..."
"Please, Devin... Wake up..." Miles whispered, tears in his eyes...
Bri and Cloud were standing outside, watching the two...
"I feel so bad for them both..." Bri said to Cloud, "Devin, getting clobbered by that enormous attack. I hope he's alright..."

Miles continued heading to the stadium, thinking about Devin and what R-Dev did to him.
"He's gonna pay..." Miles thought, "He isn't getting away with hurting my best friend...
However, when Miles returned to the stadium, nobody was there except the DJ, who was apparently leaving to a place...
"Huh??" Miles said, confused.
"Ah, Miles!" DJ said, "Come with me..."
As they walked together, Miles asked the DJ about what was going on....
"Well, Miles..." DJ said, "Get in the elevator, we're doing the finals on the ROOF!!"
"T-T-T-The r-roof?!?!" Miles stammered...
"Something wrong, Miles?" DJ said concerned...
"N-No, not at all, hehe..." he nervously said...
Something was wrong, however. Miles stood on the elevator, having a flashback... He remembered his last battle on the roof of a building. He fell off and ended up in the hospital, almost permanently paralyzed from the neck down. The doctor said he would be lucky to beyblade if he was able to move again...
That battle was on a two story roof, no more than twenty-five feet tall. Now they're battling on top of the coliseum, almost as high as a skyscraper. There was no way that he was gonna survive this battle if he falls off. He hated battling on the roof, and never battled on one again...until now...
"I can't possibly battle on the roof!" Miles thought to himself, "I just can't! But...R-Dev...I can't let him win either..."
"MILES!!!" DJ screamed. Miles snapped out of his thought process. "You ready to go???"
"Um...yeah, sure..." Me said, walking out to the stadium...
Once they got completely outside, the crowd all cheered, standing on other buildings.
Miles looked over the edge, towards the ground. Pedestrians were walking all along the sidewalk.
He gulped, turned and walked towards the stadium. He looked across to R-Dev. He was grinning, and his left eye was white and bloodshot, just like in the battle with Devin...
"Everyone!" DJ screamed, now riding in a helicopter above the arena, "It's time for the finals! Miles VS R-Dev! Who will win? Time to find out!"
Miles readied his bey. So did R-Dev...
3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!
Pegasis and Impaler hit the stadium and collided with a large boom.
GO, Pegasis!!" Miles screamed...
"Impaler, demolish him..." R-Dev's voice had changed. It was no longer the scratchy, evil voice it was before. It was now a sinister, demonic, deep voice that would scare anybody...
After much clashing, Miles let out his special move. "Pegasis Special Move! Wing Starbreaker!!"
Pegasis struck directly, but after the smoke cleared, Impaler was spinning powerfully...
"No..." Miles thought. "My special move...did nothing...winning is...impossible..."
Then his thoughts were interrupted by R-Dev. "SPECIAL MOVE! INFINITE OBLITERATION!!!
Pegasis was smashed all the way to the edge, Impaler trying to push it off, then a giant spark from the clash sent Miles over the edge of the building...
The crowd gasped... They couldn't see. Did he fall?
"He's gonna pay..." Miles thought, "He isn't getting away with hurting my best friend...
However, when Miles returned to the stadium, nobody was there except the DJ, who was apparently leaving to a place...

Spoiler (Click to View)
"NO!" Bri shouted as Miles fell off the cliff, "He's...gone..." She turned to Cloud and cried...
Then she rose up when a kid yelled. "GUYS, HE'S HANGING ON!!"
Most of the crowd rushed carefully to the edge, and DJ flew around to see...
There he was. Miles, hanging on for dear life on top of the coliseum, several hundred feet off the ground.
He was thinking to himself silently. "So, this is it. I'm going to fall to R-Dev, just as he wanted, as my strength starts failing. I'm sorry, my friends...goodbye..."
Bri and Cloud fought through the crowd to see him. As soon as they see him, Bri yells out. "Come on, Miles!! You can get up!! Pegasis is still spinning. The battle is NOT over!!!"
Those words rang in his mind. "It isn't over?" He questioned himself. "Pegasis, is still fighting?" He slowly pulled up to look over the edge. It was hard to see, but Pegasis was still spinning fighting, right on the edge for survival.
Then Miles slipped, and was only holding on my one hand. "Pegasis, wants to battle to the very end. It doesn't want to give up yet. It....can win..."
Then, Miles let out a yelling command, "Come on, Pegasis!! Please, fight for me!!!"
With those words, Pegasis started slowly pushing Impaler away.
The crowd's hopes grew, and they started cheering.
"HOW?!?!" R-Dev yelled, still in a demonic voice, "IT CAN'T BE!! NO!! KILL HIM, IMPALER!!"
Impaler pushed Pegasis back again...
"Don't stop fighting, Pegasis!!!" Miles continued to yell. "We can do this! We WILL do this!!"
Pegasis once again pushed Impaler back, this time, not going back to the edge.
Bri and Cloud cheered with the crowd as Pegasis pushed Impaler back slowly.
Then, the cheer grew louder...
Miles was able to get his second hand on the ledge. He pulled himself up, slowly, but surely, and came back to the top of the building. In the Battle, Pegasis had now successfully pushed Impaler away, and was now standing in the stadium... Impaler was now completely defenseless...
The crowd erupted in cheers at what they saw...
Miles rose to his feet, and stared down R-Dev.
"NO!" R-Dev yelled "HOW? HOW DID YOU SURVIVE? IMPALER DO SOMETHING!!!"
Impaler just stood, open for attack...
"Y'see, R-Dev..." Miles said, "I don't use majestic powers or fancy tricks to win battles... I rely on only one thing, and it's one thing you'll never have..." He paused for a second. "That thing, is a Bey Spirit..."
With that, Miles let out a Special Move he had never released before...
"PEGASIS, OMEGA STAR NOVA!!!"
Pegasis flew up hundreds of feet high, and started quickly charging towards Impaler.
Within seconds, Pegasis hit, and several cracks were heard from Impaler... A large explosion occurred, and a smoke cloud formed. It cleared quickly, and in front of R-Dev, was a cracked and stressed Basalt Impaler 230CS. The face was split, the metal wheel stressed, and the clear wheel and track, cracked.
In the stadium, was one bey...Pegasis...
The crowd erupted in a large cheer.
"IT'S ALL OVER!!" DJ screamed from the copter, "MILES HAS WON THE ELITE TOURNAMENT!!!!"
Miles picked up Pegasis, glowing with energy.
"Thank you, Pegasis. Thank you..."
The crowd grew silent, and started heading down...
R-Dev, stood still...
"So R-Dev, how about that?" Miles replied...
No answer...
"Um, R-Dev..."
No answer again, he stumbled back once, towards the edge, then again, and again...
"R-Dev...No....NO, DON'T DO IT!!"
R-Dev wasn't trying to do it. He was, unconsciously, walking towards the edge, and was one step from falling.
Miles ran in a full sprint, and as R-Dev fell off, he jumped after him.
The crowd turned and gasped. "Oh my god..." Cloud said. "C'mon Bri, we gotta go to the bottom, quickly!!", so they did...
Falling, Miles caught up to R-Dev and held onto him...
"Well, this sucks." Miles thought. "Oh well, I won, and at least that's what I got..."
Then, Miles' thoughts were interrupted by screams.
"Don't worry, buddy, I gotcha!!"
"Who is that?" He thought, and he looked and was shocked...
It was DEVIN. His arms were bandaged, and legs quivering. He also had a bandage on his head.
"No...he couldn't possibly..." Miles thought, "He couldn't! He's crazy! He'll hurt himself!"
But before he could think, Devin, with unbelievable strength, caught both Miles and R-Dev, combined over 300 pounds, with his arms. Once he laid them down, Devin screamed in agonizing pain, and fell to the ground.
Miles got up, and ran to Devin's aid.
"DEVIN!" He yelled, "You okay??"
"My arms...I...can't move them...."
"Devin..."
"No, don't worry about me. Are you and R-Dev okay?"
"Yeah, but, you just hurt yourself! You need medical help!"
"Not now though. You guys aren't hurt are you?"
"Nope..."
"Phew, then I did it..."
"Y'know, ya didn't have to go through all of this, just to save me and R-Dev..."
"But I couldn't let you die, Miles, or even get injured. You're....my friend..."
Miles was silent for a second. "Thanks Devin..."
"So, buddy, did ya win...?"
Miles looked at R-Dev, then with a nod of assurance, he said, "Yes...."
Bri and Cloud had finally reached the bottom, and ran towards the two.
"Miles, you're okay!!" Bri said as she jumped into his arms...
"Yep, Devin caught me! He'll need some help, but he saved my life..."
"He's such a hero. I'm just glad you're safe..." And she gave Miles a kiss on the lips. Miles blushed, but kissed as well...
"Ahh, so there it is!!" Devin remarked behind them. "Good thing I saw it myself!"
Miles and Bri once again fell into a laughter. Cloud called for an ambulance.
"C'mon, Winner..." Devin remarked to Miles, "Let's get me fixed up..."
With that, the four left for the hospital
Then she rose up when a kid yelled. "GUYS, HE'S HANGING ON!!"
Most of the crowd rushed carefully to the edge, and DJ flew around to see...
There he was. Miles, hanging on for dear life on top of the coliseum, several hundred feet off the ground.
He was thinking to himself silently. "So, this is it. I'm going to fall to R-Dev, just as he wanted, as my strength starts failing. I'm sorry, my friends...goodbye..."
Bri and Cloud fought through the crowd to see him. As soon as they see him, Bri yells out. "Come on, Miles!! You can get up!! Pegasis is still spinning. The battle is NOT over!!!"
Those words rang in his mind. "It isn't over?" He questioned himself. "Pegasis, is still fighting?" He slowly pulled up to look over the edge. It was hard to see, but Pegasis was still spinning fighting, right on the edge for survival.
Then Miles slipped, and was only holding on my one hand. "Pegasis, wants to battle to the very end. It doesn't want to give up yet. It....can win..."
Then, Miles let out a yelling command, "Come on, Pegasis!! Please, fight for me!!!"
With those words, Pegasis started slowly pushing Impaler away.
The crowd's hopes grew, and they started cheering.
"HOW?!?!" R-Dev yelled, still in a demonic voice, "IT CAN'T BE!! NO!! KILL HIM, IMPALER!!"
Impaler pushed Pegasis back again...
"Don't stop fighting, Pegasis!!!" Miles continued to yell. "We can do this! We WILL do this!!"
Pegasis once again pushed Impaler back, this time, not going back to the edge.
Bri and Cloud cheered with the crowd as Pegasis pushed Impaler back slowly.
Then, the cheer grew louder...
Miles was able to get his second hand on the ledge. He pulled himself up, slowly, but surely, and came back to the top of the building. In the Battle, Pegasis had now successfully pushed Impaler away, and was now standing in the stadium... Impaler was now completely defenseless...
The crowd erupted in cheers at what they saw...
Miles rose to his feet, and stared down R-Dev.
"NO!" R-Dev yelled "HOW? HOW DID YOU SURVIVE? IMPALER DO SOMETHING!!!"
Impaler just stood, open for attack...
"Y'see, R-Dev..." Miles said, "I don't use majestic powers or fancy tricks to win battles... I rely on only one thing, and it's one thing you'll never have..." He paused for a second. "That thing, is a Bey Spirit..."
With that, Miles let out a Special Move he had never released before...
"PEGASIS, OMEGA STAR NOVA!!!"
Pegasis flew up hundreds of feet high, and started quickly charging towards Impaler.
Within seconds, Pegasis hit, and several cracks were heard from Impaler... A large explosion occurred, and a smoke cloud formed. It cleared quickly, and in front of R-Dev, was a cracked and stressed Basalt Impaler 230CS. The face was split, the metal wheel stressed, and the clear wheel and track, cracked.
In the stadium, was one bey...Pegasis...
The crowd erupted in a large cheer.
"IT'S ALL OVER!!" DJ screamed from the copter, "MILES HAS WON THE ELITE TOURNAMENT!!!!"
Miles picked up Pegasis, glowing with energy.
"Thank you, Pegasis. Thank you..."
The crowd grew silent, and started heading down...
R-Dev, stood still...
"So R-Dev, how about that?" Miles replied...
No answer...
"Um, R-Dev..."
No answer again, he stumbled back once, towards the edge, then again, and again...
"R-Dev...No....NO, DON'T DO IT!!"
R-Dev wasn't trying to do it. He was, unconsciously, walking towards the edge, and was one step from falling.
Miles ran in a full sprint, and as R-Dev fell off, he jumped after him.
The crowd turned and gasped. "Oh my god..." Cloud said. "C'mon Bri, we gotta go to the bottom, quickly!!", so they did...
Falling, Miles caught up to R-Dev and held onto him...
"Well, this sucks." Miles thought. "Oh well, I won, and at least that's what I got..."
Then, Miles' thoughts were interrupted by screams.
"Don't worry, buddy, I gotcha!!"
"Who is that?" He thought, and he looked and was shocked...
It was DEVIN. His arms were bandaged, and legs quivering. He also had a bandage on his head.
"No...he couldn't possibly..." Miles thought, "He couldn't! He's crazy! He'll hurt himself!"
But before he could think, Devin, with unbelievable strength, caught both Miles and R-Dev, combined over 300 pounds, with his arms. Once he laid them down, Devin screamed in agonizing pain, and fell to the ground.
Miles got up, and ran to Devin's aid.
"DEVIN!" He yelled, "You okay??"
"My arms...I...can't move them...."
"Devin..."
"No, don't worry about me. Are you and R-Dev okay?"
"Yeah, but, you just hurt yourself! You need medical help!"
"Not now though. You guys aren't hurt are you?"
"Nope..."
"Phew, then I did it..."
"Y'know, ya didn't have to go through all of this, just to save me and R-Dev..."
"But I couldn't let you die, Miles, or even get injured. You're....my friend..."
Miles was silent for a second. "Thanks Devin..."
"So, buddy, did ya win...?"
Miles looked at R-Dev, then with a nod of assurance, he said, "Yes...."
Bri and Cloud had finally reached the bottom, and ran towards the two.
"Miles, you're okay!!" Bri said as she jumped into his arms...
"Yep, Devin caught me! He'll need some help, but he saved my life..."
"He's such a hero. I'm just glad you're safe..." And she gave Miles a kiss on the lips. Miles blushed, but kissed as well...
"Ahh, so there it is!!" Devin remarked behind them. "Good thing I saw it myself!"
Miles and Bri once again fell into a laughter. Cloud called for an ambulance.
"C'mon, Winner..." Devin remarked to Miles, "Let's get me fixed up..."
With that, the four left for the hospital

It had been 2 weeks since The tournament...
Miles, Devin, Bri, and Cloud, together, created a beyblade store and training center, where new bladers could come for parts and practice with each other...
Miles and Bri are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend. Miles works on maintenance, while Bri helps out with parts. Miles keeps his trophy from the tournament right beside him at all times... Bri also got herself a Bey, so she could play. She's improving quickly with her bey Meteo L-Drago CH120EWD...
Devin is better now. His arms had to be surgically removed and replaced with bionic arms, but they work for him. He helps train the new bladers, and teach them tricks... He lives with Miles and Bri, and acts kinda like a big bro...
What about Cloud? He's there too, helping out the new bladers, striving to be better. He ran into some financial problems, so Miles gladly took him in.
They all live like one big happy family...
One day, R-Dev walked into the place.
"Stop right there!" Miles shouted, holding a gun...
"Calm down, calm down, Miles, I'm not here to hurt you, steal anything, or whatever..."
Miles put the gun down...
"I came in for maintenance on Impaler. I want to battle, and I can't with this junk..." R-Dev said, holding out his broken Impaler...
"Hmmm....okay then..." Miles said, and he started working on Impaler... "So, have you switched your ways...?"
"For now, yes..." R-Dev replied. "I still hate you for a few weeks ago..."
"Of course..."
"But, also...I heard that you saved me, when I fell..."
"Well, I didn't really save you, but I did jump after you. Devin caught us...."
"Wow... Well, I guess I should thank him later..."
"Anyways, "Miles said, turning. "Here's your Basalt Impaler 230CS. I repaired it, and and painted it black, just for you..."
"Sweet..." R-Dev said, taking it. "Now, how much do I owe ya?"
"Nothing..."
"Nothing?" R-Dev questioned. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah, keep it all. It's free. So, now that it's fixed, what are you gonna do?"
"Well, I heard that the US is holding qualifiers for the US National team in a few months. You guys should try it. Each team gets 4 members, so You guys could fit perfectly.... I gotta go back to Russia so I can qualify, so, see ya in a few months?"
"Sure...." Miles said, smiling...
"Alright then, see ya..." And for the first time, R-Dev happily smiled as he walked out of the store....
Miles looked up and thought to himself...
"US National Team, huh? Well, looks like we need to get training. I'll see you then, R-Dev. I can't wait for our rematch..."
THE END.
