Quote:A Decisive loss
August 19, 2150:

It was at least a week before Hemo could pick up a bey again, he never thought so much power could be possessed by a beyblade. Hemo left Demster to find Ferthity and finish her off, once and for all. But before Hemo went on his destiny, he heard of another Demster Town Tournament. He would not leave until he can prove to himself, that what had happened was that he was caught off-guard. “ First round winners are.... Hemo, Jin, Po, Jod, Kevin and Nally. The crowd cheered and jumped up and down. “ First Match of the semi finals are.... Jin and Kevin! ” the Announcer bellowed. Kevin walked up to the stadium holding a Dark Byxis CH120 RS, while Jin had his Basalt Leone 90 SD sitting on his shoulder. “ Cut the chit-chat and lets just make you lose already ”Jin said getting a bit cocky. As Kevin was about to reply the announcer cut him off. “ Ok enough talk lets just get this over with ” he yawned. “ 3..2..1 Let it Rip! ” the crowd chanted. Both pulled hard on their Beylaunchers, and the beyblade hit the stadium at full speed. Both beys fought fiercely and they were blown back a lot. “ Will this be a stadium out? ” commentated the Announcer. Byxis had Leone cornered and wasn't going down without a fight, and then a swift move by Leone changed the whole plan and went spinning to the centre. “ Now Leone, Special Move, Basalt Bomb! ” All of a sudden, basalt started to glow red and every time Dark Byxis hit it, it would pull through and send Byxis flying. “ Whoa, look at that! ” the Announcer cried. Dark Byxis came soaring down back to Earth and landed right in front of Kevin. “ Say what!, I lost! ” Kevin cried in disbelief. “ Oh yeah, I'm the best, oh yeah ” Jin kept bouncing around screaming. “ Next battle is.... Po and Jod! ” The crowd cheered for another time. “ Alright, it is brother vs sister. ” the Announcer kept going on. “ 3..2..1.. Let it Rip! ” everyone yelled. Once again the beys went flying into the stadium. “ Folks, this should be an entertaining match. These two must know everything about each other. ” the Announcer blared. The beys started to chase each other around and around. Finally Po's bey caught up, and started to tilt Jod's bey up and start making it scrape the ground. “ Don't take that from her, Torch! ” Jod yelled. “ Don't think your going to win, bro. Come on Thermal Scorpio! ” Po shot back. “ You've embarrassed me to much for a long time now sis. Torch Capricorn Special Move, Burning Capricorn Striking Blast! ” Jod let out of his system. “ You too Scorpio Special Move, Scorpio Stinger Attack! ” screamed Po. The beys started to glow and they started to attack each other fiercely. Then, one final blow to each other and there was an explosion. Everyone in the crowd screamed, none were expecting that. “ Whose bey is that still spinning? ”questioned the Announcer. When the smoke cleared everyone was surprised, including the siblings. “ The..The.. The winner is Jod! ” the Announcer stuttered. The crowd cheered in surprise, and happiness for such a battle. Po's mouth was still gaped open in utter astonishment. Jod walked up to her with a huge grin. “ Was I awesome, or was I awesome? ” Jod said gloating. “ I will go with the or ” grinned Po. They both laughed and walked to the exit. “ I still think Scorpio needs more better parts ” Jod said. “ WHAT!? ” shrieked Po. “ My Thermal Scorpio H145 DS is much better than your little Torch Capricorn 145 ES. The only reason you won was beginner's luck. ” said Po with a big smile on her face. “ I've been blading two years longer than you. ” Jod shot back quickly. “ NEWSFLASH! We were both given our beys on the same day. Your just a liar, just a dirty, rotten liar. “ ENOUGH! ” yelled the Announcer. “ If you two don't get out of here in two seconds I will call security. ” said the Announcer all red. Po shot to the grandstand and Jod fled to the locker room like there was no tomorrow. “ Now to our final battle for the semi's. It's the amazing Hemo! ” the Announcer yelled. Hemo entered the stadium silently. This is the bey I will use from now on he thought to himself. Maybe I can sell my spare parts on eBay he pondered. “ In the other corner we have, Nally! ” the Announcer introduced. Then she walked out with MF-M Galaxy Orso R145 WD. “ Never seen you before ” Hemo told Nally. “ I'm from Canada ” she yelled back. “ Well... Welcome to Australia. ” Hemo said nervously. An overseas blader pondered Hemo.

Quote:As I shot my last bullet into my pursuer's head, I only said two words; "Damn it.". I was going to be safe for a few minutes, but soon, more mercenaries would arrive. No more rounds, unequal numbers, and only a month of training in hand-to-hand combat. I liked these odds.

I hid in the bathroom of an abandoned hotel, hoping not to be found. I stood next to the door, knife ready to stab any intruders. Then it hit me; The last person to use the toilet forgot to flush. The smell was so overwhelming that I didn't notice the sound of about five people outside the door. Now, my eyes were starting to water and my stomach was feeling sick. I finally let out an extremely loud gag, followed by the door being kicked in two.

I moved quicker than I thought I could, easily slitting the necks of the first two mercenaries. The third raised his gun, just to drop it when he fell. Numbers four and five put up something of a fight, with four barely missing my head. I took the opportunity to snap his neck like a twig. Number five suddenly fired, hitting the inside of my right elbow, but I countered by picking up four's gun, firing it into five's eye. Scarlet blood sprayed everywhere, giving me just a little more confidence.

I thought I might get a break when a huge explosion rocked the building. I was only conscious a few more seconds, on account of the but of a shotgun.
