Episode 9: Rising the Ranks: Team Myths
Nearly half a month went by, and soon on October 19th, they were informed of their next match against another up-and-coming team, Team Myths.
.
Chris walked down from his room, and saw Takuya and Angie sitting at the bar, Takuya sat on the bar stool while Angie lied over the edge looking at him.
Angie(Happy): “How do you like the coffee?”
Takuya(Calm): “It’s alright, still don’t like coffee that much.”
Chris yawned and Takuya slid off his seat and said,
Takuya(Happy): “Morning, Chris!”
Chris waved and walked to the fridge grabbing milk and his creamer for his coffee.
Angie(Calm): “So, you ready for our newest match?”
Chris yawned as he sipped his coffee,
Chris(Tired): “Once I wake up, yep.”
Angie giggled and grabbed her toast and took a bite, while Takuya got off the bar stool and finished his coffee, Takuya then grabbed his phone and decided to look up Team Myths.
As he did, a picture of their most recent match where a tall girl with blue hair stood, and next to her a girl with medium length brown hair, and to the blue haired’s left, a boy with a black middle part.
Takuya then remembered them and called out,
Takuya(Surprised): “You guys, they’re a Rank B team, I remember seeing them on the WBO’s livestreams!”
Chris turned to Takuya and then remembered hearing about them from a friend.
Chris(Surprised): “We’ll have to really use everything.”
Angie nodded, and soon they all got ready and walked to the subway station and traveled to Saitama, where lots of new Xtreme BeyParks were built, and in the same boat, lots of matches were held. Team Kingslayer and Team Myths were to have their match in BeyPark Alpha.
.
{Saitama, Japan}
.
The subway train came to halt, as Team Kingslayer walked out of the subway and saw Saitama, Japan for the first time. The group walked through the parks and soon found the large Bey Central built within the past 5 years and how cool it looked.
On the screen, a idol-looking girl with pink hair popped out, and in her robot styled dress, called,
Ai: “Welcome to Saitama’s Bey Central, currently the next pro match is Team Kingslayer VS Team Myths!”
Takuya looked up and was extremely surprised to see how high tech the Bey Central was, but he couldn’t admire it too long as they had to go to their match.
.
{Bey Park Alpha}
The crowd began cheering as the Xtreme Stadium began lighting up and the fires at both entrances shot into the air.
DJ(Excited): “Alright! What’s up, bladers? Today, I have the divine duty to be the ref for Team Kingslayer and Team Myths match today!”
As the DJ said that, both teams began walking from their respective entrances, and the DJ called.
DJ(Excited): “From my right, Team Myths led by Mizuki Hanabusa and her teammates, Chiharu Kobayashi and Toshiki Kobayashi!”
DJ(Excited): “From my left, Team Kingslayer led by Takuya Takeba and his teammates, Chris Woods and Angie Woods!”
The two teams walked into the park and everyone began cheering for them, a completely different atmosphere from the BeyPark that they fought Team Breakers at.
Takuya and his team walked up to the team bench, and the login system where the three but their Battle Pass onto, logging them in for the session. Takuya looked over to their opposing team, and began to feel the anxiety.
DJ(Excited): “As every other match, the match will be won when one team reaches 4 points, the current rule is that Spin Finishes are counted for 1 overall point. Over and Burst Finishes are counted for 2 points overall, and Xtreme Finishes are counted for 3 points overall.”
Chris turned to Takuya and asked,
Chris(Calm): “Who should go up first, Takuya?”
Takuya looked up and thought,
Takuya(Anxious): “I..I guess, you can go first.”
Chris nodded, and looked at Angie with a certain look, and Angie turned to Takuya.
{Chris walked up the steps and looked at his opponent, it was the man with a black middle part.}
DJ(Excited): “Alright, the first match is set! Chris Woods VS Toshiki Kobayashi!”
Toshiki smirked and said,
Toshiki(Snarky): “Guess I’ll have to show you the power of my Hydra.”
Chris sighed and grabbed Raven, and said,
Chris(Calm): “I’ll beat you.”
DJ(Excited): “Ready then, bladers!”
Both: “3! 2! 1! Go Shoot!”
{Raven Float and Hydra Block hit the stadium floor, Hydra quickly took the center with it’s Spike Ball Bit, while Raven was dancing around the stadium. Chris then realized he’d have use the Xtreme Edge to take Toshiki’s Hydra Block out.}
Chris took a deep breath, and called,
Chris(Calm): “I’ll take you down now! Gentle Feather Dance!”
{Raven began drifting on it’s Rotate Bit, and quickly neared the Xtreme Edge and Chris smirked, while Toshiki yawned.}
Toshiki quickly went from his yawning face to one which had a huge smile as he called,
Toshiki(Snarky): “Twist and curve, Hydra! Wobbling Strike!”
{Hydra Block then tilted and hit the main ball portion of the Spike Ball Bit, and quickly burst over to where Raven was, it then hit Raven and struck it into the stadium floor, bursting it right away.}
Chris gasped, as Raven’s parts flew into the air.
DJ: “And that’s two points for Team Myths!”
Toshiki turned to Chris as he walked away and stuck out his tongue while returning to his bench, Chris grit his teeth and sat down with his team.
Takuya(Surprised): “Oh my god, he like, instantly!”
Chris sighed and said,
Chris(Sad): “I should’ve known just being good wasn’t going to be anything against long time pro teams.”
Angie got up and looked to their team and said,
Angie(Hopeful): “We got this! We’ll just give it 200%!”
Chris and Takuya smiled and they all put their fists together,
Together(Happy): “Team Kingslayer!”
Takuya then hopped from his seat and cracked his knuckles when the same flare from when he made Ares War kicked up,
Takuya(Flared Up): “Alright, let’s show ‘em! Angie, I’ll send you up!”
Angie smiled and flipped her hair back,
Angie(Happy): “Don’t count on me losing.”
Takuya nodded, while she walked up to see the shorter girl with brown hair standing on the other side, with her headphones on.
Angie sighed and grabbed Medusa Reflect while the other girl grabbed their bey.
DJ(Excited): “Alright then, we now have Angie Woods VS Chiharu Kobayashi! Ready then, bladers!”
Both: “3! 2! 1! Go Shoot!”
{Medusa Reflect and Chimera Change hit the stadium floor, Medusa Reflect took the center while Chimera Change went on a angle and began it’s flower pattern.}
Chiharu(Calm): “I’m in the middle of an album, let’s get this over with. Mane Strike!”
{Chimera hit the outer flat of the Flat Ball Bit, and rushed at Medusa, as it did, a mirror appeared and the effect of it shattering happened, while Angie smiled.}
Angie(Creepy): “Did you think some half effort attack would hurt Medusa.”
Medusa’s avatar then appeared and slashed at Chimera, as it did, the spring loaded plastic on Medusa Reflect’s layer glowed gold, as Angie called.
Angie(Excited): “Take your attack back, Reflective Mirror!”
{Chimera slammed into the reflective blades and was thrown into the stadium wall, while Medusa caught some friction with it’s Rubber Ball Bit, it launched itself at the Xtreme Edge due to the motion it absorbed and locked onto the Xtreme Edge.}
Angie(Excited): “Take ‘em down! Venomous Bite!”
{Medusa flew off the Xtreme Edge and hit Chimera once again and launched it at the Xtreme Zone, but it hit the stadium’s corner and flew into the Over Zone, as DJ called.}
DJ(Excited): “Oh and just missed! Angie scores one point for her team.”
Angie grabbed Medusa Reflect, and sighed while returning to her team,
Angie(Disheartened): “Sorry, meant to get the Xtreme Finish.”
Takuya threw his arm over her shoulder and said,
Takuya(Proud): “You did really good! I’ll be sure to follow your guidance!”
Angie blushed slightly, and Chris leaned back and said,
Chris(Bored): “Stop flirting with my sister.”
Angie jumped from Takuya, while calling,
Angie(Embarassed): “Can’t you not say that!”
Takuya chuckled and turned to his team, a brave look came over his face,
Takuya(Brave): “I’ll win this next 2 points for us.”
Chris smiled and nodded, while Takuya walked to the stadium and stood there while Chiharu stood on the other side once again.
Chiharu(Bored): “Some newbie attack type blader, great.”
Takuya took a deep breath, and held his launcher in a new way.
Takuya(Calm): “I’ll burst your Chimera Change.”
Chiharu giggled, while both bladers prepared.
DJ(Excited): “Takuya Takeba VS Chiharu Kobayashi, let’s see how this goes!”
Both: “3! 2! 1! Go Shoot!”
{Ares War and Chimera Change hit the stadium floor, and Chimera Change used the Ball on Flat Ball and took the center while Ares War rushed and locked onto the Xtreme Edge instantly.}
Chris(Concerned): “No, Takuya! You’ll waste it all!”
Takuya raised his fist, and a fire effect appeared that he grabbed and burst within his hand.
Takuya(Flared Up): “Let’s do this, Ares! Xtreme Boosted: Hero Rush!”
{Ares sped off the Xtreme Edge and with even higher speeds than before began barraging Chimera.}
Chiharu(Concerned): “Quickly, block it all! Wing Parry!”
{The wings on the Chimera Change layer glowed white and gold and began absorbing the attacks from Ares War better, but it seemed to have no effect as Ares War was breaking through.}
Takuya grit his teeth and called,
Takuya(Flared Up): “Break through! Hero Upper!”
{Ares sped into Chimera, and with it’s pure power locked onto the ratchet and burst Chimera.}
Everyone(Surprised): *Gasp*
DJ(Confused): “A—and that’s a Burst Finish for Takuya Takeba! 2 points for Team Kingslayer, they now pull ahead!”
As Chimera’s part flew into the air, the picture darkened and it zooms into Takuya’s face where it looks like he blew through fire, his smile glowed bright like that sun.
Takuya(Excited): “Show me your leader.”
Next week, will see one profile.
