Episode 26: Angie Woods: Rising!
{Takuya smirked as Tsugumi picked up Fox Ambush’s parts.}
Tsugumi(Calm): “You’re pretty good.”
Takuya(Confident): “Not just me. My entire team is amazing.”
Tsugumi turned away and returned to her team, Takuya doing the same.
{Team Kingslayer}
.
Takuya(Calm): “Alright then. They still have their other bladers yet. I don’t really know who to send up.”
{Takuya sighed as he sat down and thought.}
Chris(Calm): “I would honestly say sending you up again is our best bet.”
Takuya(Calm): “Are you sure?”
{Angie smiled and said,}
Angie(Confident): “Yeah, you’ve got this.”
{Takuya then got up and smiled.}
Takuya(Confident): “Alright then.”
{He then walked to the stadium and saw a girl with messy black hair standing on the other side.}
???: “Well then, howdy!”
Takuya(Confused): “Howdy?”
Hikari(Calm): “Yeah, I’m Hikari. Howdy!”
Takuya(Calm): “Howdy, Hikari. I’m Takuya.”
Hikari smiled and locked her bey on her launcher, Takuya doing the same as the Ref called.
Ref: “Ready bladers!”
Both: “3! 2! 1! Go Shoot!”
{Hero Ares and Sphinx Combine hit the stadium floor, Sphinx took the center while Ares rushed to the ridge once it hit the edge, it flew towards the middle as Takuya called.}
Takuya(Flare): “Time to start! Hero Rush!”
{Hero Ares rushed from the ridge and began barraging Sphinx Combine though due to it’s balanced design of having two wing-like blades to defend while two sharp contact points similar to Dran Sword’s for attack.}
Takuya(Mind): “Those wings are smooth and don’t take much damage. I’ll have to really go for the Burst or Xtreme Finish!”
{Takuya smirked as Hero Ares rushed forward and struck Sphinx Combine, once it did, Sphinx tilted slightly and rushed from the middle.}
Takuya(Surprised): “Woah, what!?”
Hikari(Confident): “My Sharp Flat Bit has a sharp tip that once tilted hits the flat part allowing for attack and defense all in one!”
{Sphinx Combine rushed to the outer ridge and flew down as Hikari called.}
Hikari(Confident): “Now, Royal Rush!”
{Sphinx Combine flew from the ridge and began barraging Hero Ares.}
Takuya(Mind): “Dammit! She’s gonna beat us!”
{Sphinx Combine then quickly turned and struck Hero Ares’ ratchet, bursting it.}
Hikari(Confident): “And that’s our victory!”
{Takuya smiled as Hero Ares’ parts flew into the air, he knew he had been beaten now.}
Takuya(Mind): “I know Angie will be the one to win.”
Takuya grabbed Hero Ares’ parts as Hikari smiled,
Hikari(Happy): “That was fun, Takuya. We’ll have to battle again!”
Takuya(Happy): “Sure thing.”
The two then returned to their teams.
{Team Kingslayer}
Takuya sat down as Chris asked.
Chris(Curious): “So who’s up for Match 3?”
Takuya(Calm): “Angie’s got this. She’ll defeat their final blader with her new Medusa.”
Angie sat up and smiled.
Angie(Excited): “I’ve got this, guys.”
As she walked to the stadium, her mind went elsewhere back to the volleyball game from years prior. She was the captain of the Crimson Falcons during her sophomore year, she had hand picked the greatest team but they were facing the Cobalt Dragons which was the best volleyball team of the high school level. She always had nerves of steel, allowing her to play through tough matches without any fear.
Emilia(Scared): “Angie, we’re at match point. What if I fail the serve?”
Audrey(Nervous): “Angie, I’m getting really nervous, what if I fail my spike?”
Andrea(Calm): “Guys, we’ve got this. Angie doesn’t need anymore stress before the match.”
Angie walked to the group and smiled.
Angie(Calm): “Girls, we’ve been practicing for years to finally win the championship. We’re going to win this, don’t worry.”
{Angie’s confidence had a weird trait, where she could pass it to anyone. Anybody who was nervous that heard Angie’s confidence would instantly feel better. After an intense match, the Crimson Falcons would win and take the first championship for Scarlet High.}
Angie smirked as she got to the stadium, Kao stood on the other side. The leader of Team Crown, Angie smirked while raising Medusa Glare onto her launcher.
Referee(Calm): “Both bladers ready?”
Both: “3! 2! 1! Go Shoot!”
{Deer Crown and Medusa Glare hit the stadium floor. Medusa Glare landed and rotated around the center, while Deer Crown instantly took the center.
{Team Crown.}
Tsugumi(Confident): “It’s almost funny. They definitely aren’t expecting Deer Crown and Kao’s power.”
Hikari(Calm): “Yeah, although Takuya probably could’ve went toe-to-toe with Kao.”
Tsugumi(Confident): “Only him, Chris and Angie don’t have the power to match Deer Crown. Kao’s Spark is also incredible, good thing I’m streaming this to show the downfall of another team.”
{Stadium}
Kao(Quiet): “Let’s hit them with Crown Strike.”
{Deer Crown tilted on the Plate Bit and rushed towards Medusa Glare striking it and sending it flying into the wall.}
Angie(Surprised): “Such power!?”
{Deer Crown had a oval-shaped wheel which was made for counter attacking, combined with the Horn4-60 Ratchet which helped increase attack power. The Plate Bit on the other hand gave the Bey, incredible stamina which allowed for a high stamina, high attack power bey.}
Angie(Mind): “I’ve got to counter this bey with all my power, or else I’ll definitely lose. Although, I noticed somethings off with her Bit.”
Tsugumi(Mind): “She must be noticing Deer Crown’s one flaw right about now. We traded the Xtreme Dash ability to absolutely maximize stamina.”
{Medusa Glare hit the floor as it began wobbling.}
Takuya(Nervous): “She had that much power?”
Chris(Nervous): “This could be a loss for us.”
Angie(Confident): “We ain’t backing down! Medusa!”
{Medusa glowed as the avatar emerged from the Gear Bit. Angie clenched her fists as her spark awakened. It took the form of snakes on her hair as she called.}
Angie(Spark): “We’ll beat you!”
{Kao stepped back as she watched Angie’s awakening. She then called.}
Kao(Calm): “Deer, let’s take them out!”
{Kao’s spark awakened at that moment! Taking the form of antlers on her head.}
Takuya(Mind): “Their sparks are wild! They both are going all out!”
Ares(Mindscape): “This is truly exciting!”
{Medusa Glare shot down as Deer Crown shot towards Medusa Glare. A collision course destined to happen.}
Angie(Spark): “Give ‘em hell! Venomous Bite!”
Kao(Spark): “Burst ‘em! Bucking Upper!”
{The two beys collided with power equal to that of Hero Ares. Takuya watched as the Spark ignited further and further. Just as Deer Crown went for the kill, Medusa Glare tilted ever-so-slightly striking the Horn4-60 Ratchet abusing it’s major flaw. It’s design was great for providing attack but it had terrible burst resistance if hit on the horn’s edge. The counter blades of Medusa locked on and twisted, throwing Deer Crown to the middle.}
Takuya and Tsugum(Shocked): “It didn’t burst!?”
Kao(Mind): “She could’ve bursted me! Why didn’t she!?”
Angie(Spark): “Now it’s the end!”
{Medusa utilizing it’s Rubber Bit, built momentum and locked onto the Xtreme Line, rushing around the Line revealing Angie’s plan.}
Everyone(Shocked): “She’s going for an Xtreme Finish!”
Angie(Spark): “End it! Xtreme Slithering Toxin!”
{Medusa Glare launched from the Xtreme Line, striking Deer Crown with all it’s force. Deer Crown flew back into the Xtreme Zone, as the Referee called.}
Referee: “Angie Woods with an Xtreme Finish, awarding 3 points to Team Kingslayer, giving them the victory!”
{The crowd went wild as Angie stood there, her spark diminishing. The cheering and applause reminding her of her victory for the volleyball team. Takuya and Chris leaped from their seats and ran up, both hugging Angie tightly.}
Chris(Proud): “You did it, Angie!”
Takuya(Overjoyed): “I know you could do it, Angie!”
Kao grabbed her bey and smiled.
Kao(Mind): “I’m glad, they won. They seem like such a great team.”
{Tsugumi and Hikari smiled as the match ended. Being a strong team left Team Crown most of the time, lonely. Their matches would always go the same. But Team Kingslayer gave them a fun match.}
Kao(Calm): “Thanks for the fun match.”
Angie(Excited): “Of course, let’s do this again sometime.”
{Both teams eventually returned home to celebrate the match. Returning to the WBO, where we last left off.}
Head: “Team Eclispe, I have something to tell you.”
The White Knight(Calm): “What’s up?”
Head: “The WBO has organized a tournament to decide the next Xtreme member who will stand alongside you, White Knight.”
Kagami(Confused): “So who’s participating?”
Head: “The following teams have proven their worth and will be in this tournament.
Team Kingslayer, consisting of Takuya Takeba, Chris Woods and Angie Woods.”
The White Knight(Mind): “Takuya.”
Head: “Team Myths, consisting of Kazuki Suzuki, Toshiki Kobayashi and Chiharu Kobayashi.
Team Crown, consisting of Kao Hanada, Tsugumi Hanada and Hikari Kojima.
Team Xero, consisting of Hiro and Ryokui.
Team Trench, consisting of Mizuki Hanabusa, Kaito Meiden and Enkai Nakagawa.
Team Breakers, consisting of Ichijo, Syuuto and Minato.
Team Rise, consisting of Fuji, Fumiya and Lodin.
And finally, your team.”
The White Knight(Excited): “This is shaping up to be interesting.”
{Kagami and Shinobu smiled as The White Knight looked out the window and watched the horizon.}
