Chapters 2. Magical! Wizard Fafnir!
The Dazzlings were currently on their way to their friend, Frizzle's house. She had called earlier that day saying that she had just gotten a Bey from her parents and she wanted to test it out. So the Dazzlings happily accepted her request and were now on they're on their way to Frizzle's house. Once arriving at Frizzle's house, Sunset made sure to give the Dazzlings a talking-to.
"Remember girls to be on your best behavior. And if you lose to Frizzle be a good sport, alright?" Sunset said, making sure the Dazzlings understood what she was saying.
"Yes, momma." The Dazzlings said as they jumped out of the car.
"Good, now go have fun. I'll come to pick you up later." Sunset said as she waved goodbye and took off.
The Dazzlings waved goodbye to their mom and then ran off to meet Frizzle in the backyard where she had told them to meet her. Once they made it to Frizzle's backyard they saw Frizzle in the middle of the backyard with a stadium.
"So you made it? I'm glad, I almost thought you ran away in fear." Frizzle said with a smile on her face.
"We never run away, and we aren't scared of you!" Aria said with a smile of her own. "Now, can we see your Bey already?" Aria asked. "I want to see the Bey that I'm going to defeat!"
Frizzle laughed. "Fine, fine." Frizzle then takes something out of her pocket. A yellow Bey with a huge amount of rubber on the sides of it. "This is my Beyblade; Wizard Fafnir. It's a counterclockwise spinning Stamina Type. It can drain all of your Beys stamina and use it for its own." The Dazzlings looked at her Bey in awe, they couldn't wait to see it in action. Frizzle saw their faces and laughed. "Now then, who wants to battle me and Fafnir first?"
"I call battling her first!" Sonata yelled jumping up and down.
"Go ahead, Sonata." Adagio said smiling at Sonata's antics. Adagio turned toward Aria and whispered in her ear. "Be sure to watch this match very closely, we might figure out a thing or two about Wizard Fafnir."
Aria rolled her eyes, "You don't have to tell me that, I was already going to do that."
Frizzle and Sonata take out their launchers and start to get ready. Adagio then walked over and stood in the middle of the two of them. "Now then, get ready, and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" With that, both Beys had been launched in the stadium.
Turbo Spryzen zoomed around the stadium at breakneck speeds while Wizard Fafnir... was barely spinning in the middle of the stadium?
"What's going on? Frizzle, did you make an oopsies launching your Bey?" Sonata asked looking at the slowly spinning Bey.
"We'll see who makes the oopsies after this match, Sonata. Now, why don't you come and attack my Bey." Frizzle crossed her arms and smiled. "I dare you, Sonata!"
"Fine by me, you asked for it! Go Spryzen!"
Spryzen started to land a consecutive barrage of attacks. But instead of actually doing something to Fafnir it was actually speeding it up. That was when Adagio then remembered something Frizzle had said earlier.
'It can drain all of your Bey's stamina and use it for its own.'
'So she launched slowly on purpose... and Sonata fell for her little magic trick.'
The roles were now swapped, Fafnir was the one spinning at great speeds while Spryzen was nearly out of stamina. Spryzen slowly but surely came to a stop, leaving only Fafnir to remain spinning.
"It's over with a Survivor Finish, Frizzle wins the match." Adagio said, turning her head towards Frizzle.
"W-what happened? How did you all of a sudden get all of that stamina?" Sonata asked in shock. She couldn't believe that Fafnir was spinning so slowly at the beginning but then suddenly gained all its stamina and took all of Spryzen's away like a vampire.
"I did say my Bey can steal the stamina of others. You should have paid more attention." Sonata looked down in shame, her first battle ever, and it ended in a loss. Frizzle didn't seem to mind as she won, she then looked over at Adagio and Aria. "Now, who's next?"
Adagio looked over at Aria. "Aria your Bey is an Attack Type. Fafnir is a Stamina Type, Stamina Types are weak to Attack Types."
"Now we're talking! I'll be your next challenger, get ready to lose Frizzle!" Aria said taking out her Bey.
"How about we actually make this a challenge?" The Dazzlings looked at Frizzle confused. "Adagio, Aria, I'll take the both of you on at once. After all, if we only have a one-on-one match it'll likely end just like Sonata's match."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Sonata asked angrily.
"I beat you with ease, Sonata." Frizzle looked at Sonata without a care in the world. "With your two sisters facing me at once I might actually have to try. Now come on let's go, both of you at once."
"Sure!" Adagio said. Adagio then changed her Bey into Stamina Mode without the Sword attached.
"Fine by me!" Aria said as she got into position.
"Now let's begin!" Frizzle said as she too got into position.
Sonata took her stance as the referee, "Now then, everyone get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" And with that, the three Beys had been launched into the stadium.
Achilles rushes in and takes center stage, while Apocalypse charges towards Fafnir who was slowly spinning towards Achilles.
"Go Apocalypse, hit it out of the stadium." Aria yelled.
Frizzle sighed. "Too easy. Go Fafnir, Wizard Spin."
Apocalypse and Achilles hit Fafnir with a pincer attack. All three Beys go sent flying into the air but land back in the stadium. The pincer attack must have done something to Fafnir as it had gained some stamina and took the middle claiming it as its own.
Adagio then had a bright idea. "If we keep our distance she can't steal our stamina. Let's just stay far away from Fafnir and-"
"Go Apocalypse! Finish them!" Aria had other ideas and went to attack Fafnir. But once again instead of taking damage, Fafnir was quickly picking up on stamina.
"Or don't follow my instructions and make this harder for us." Adagio sighed and then saw Apocalypse pushing Fafnir with everything it had. Just then an idea hit her. "What... that's it! Achilles! Crash into Apocalypse at full power!" Everyone looked in confusion at what Adagio had just said.
Frizzle laughed. "Can't defeat me so you're defeating one another, how hilarious! Alright then make this battle easier!"
Achilles raced over and hit Apocalypse who was in a head-on collision with Fafnir. All three get sent flying into the air, Apocalypse and Fafnir get sent flying out of the stadium while Achilles hit the edge of the stadium and remained in the stadium. Everyone looked in shock as Sonata then made the call.
"With a Ring-Out Finish, Aria and Adagio are the winners." Sonata said, pointing her hand towards Aria and Adagio.
"That was an amazing idea, Adagio. I didn't expect that at all." Frizzle said, shaking Adagio and Aria's hands.
Adagio smiled. "It was nothing really, it was an awesome match."
"Yeah, but next time you guys won't be so lucky. I'll beat you next time." Frizzle said with a smile. "Now who are you guys going to challenge next?" Frizzle asked.
"What do you mean?" The Dazzlings asked.
"All of our friends have Beys as well. If you want to go face someone, I would recommend going to Derek and Dean's house. Their Beys are super strong, but they mostly do tag battles."
"Tag battle? What's that?" Sonata asked.
"It's when two people team up and battle with another team of two." Adagio then rubbed her chin. "We should probably think of a plan to beat them." Adagio looked over at Frizzle. "What can you tell us about Derek and Dean's Beys?"
"Derek's bey is a Right-spinning attack type. Dean's Bey is a Dual-spinning Balance Type. But Dean mostly goes in counterclockwise mode to cancel out Derek's Bey already spinning clockwise."
Adagio then had an idea. "I think me and Sonata would be perfect for the job, we're both Balance Types and Spryzen is also a Dual-spinning Bey. It'll be perfect for the job."
Aria looked at Adagio in shock and confusion. "Why can't I battle? I have the strongest attack power between the three of us. Please, Adagio I'm begging. You did most of the work in our two vs one with Frizzle."
Looking at Aria, Adagio then proceeded to stare at her. "I'll think about it... but for right now the lineup is me and Sonata."
"Now we should probably train for our match with Derek and Dean. Frizzle, do you want to help us train for our upcoming match with them?" Sonata asked as she and her sisters looked at Frizzle.
Frizzle smiled at the request. "I'll be happy too, but just to let you know, Derek and Dean have a strong bond. I would recommend having two of you with a strong relationship."
"Strong relationship... we got a lot to think about and only a little time. We gotta start training as soon as possible. Let's go girls!" Adagio said, throwing her hands in the air.
"Yeah!" The other girls yelled.
For the rest of the day, Frizzle, and the Dazzlings battled with one another. Training for the tag team battle with Dean and Derek. All having fun with one another being together.
Preview: The Dazzlings head over to Dean's and Derek's house for a battle to remember. There they get into a tag team battle with the two of them. Which one of the Dazzlings will team together to battle Derek and Dean? Will they win or will they lose?
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers: Tag Battle! Brothers And Sisters!
Author's Note
Hey everyone. Sorry I was gone for so long. I got distracted with my other account on Wattpad. To those who want to know its called Malachitree. I make fanfiction books with my brother. Once again sorry for the major delay and I hope to see you in the next chapter!
3. Tag Battle! Brothers And Sisters!
After learning from Frizzle that all of their friends had some Beys of their own, the Dazzlings started a journey of their own to battle each and every one of their friends and their Beys. Their first stop in their journey was with Derek and Dean. That's where they were the Dazzlings were currently at right now, in the backyard of Derek and Dean's house.
Derek crossed his arms as he looked at the three Dazzlings. "We heard from Frizzle that you guys would be coming. So you actually came to challenge us, we're so happy that you decided to come to us first."
"I'm sure Frizzle told you that we only do Tag Battles. So... which two of you are going up with us? Adagio and Aria? Maybe Sonata and Aria? Or maybe Adagio and Sonata?" Dean said looking at the Dazzlings wondering which two he and his brother would Battle.
Adagio smiled. "We already know our lineup, but first we want to know your guy's Beys."
Derek smiled back, he knew Adagio was going to ask that. "Fine by us. My Beyblade is Ace Dragon, it's a Right spinning Attack Type." As he showed off his Bey. He noticed the Dazzlings looking at his Bey in awe. "Yeah, take a nice long look, this'll be a Bey that defeat you, remember the name Ace Dragon!"
"And my Beyblade is Venom Devolos it's a Right spinning Balance Type. But I can change it around to make it Erase Devolos a Left spinning Balance Type. I can change it around to whatever I decide to." As Dean showed off his Bey as well with a smile.
Adagio took a look at Derek and Dean's Beys and smirked. "I see... alright we're going with me and Aria."
Aria looked at Adagio in shock. "Why me? I thought you said Sonata and you were going up?"
"I asked Adagio to let you go up instead of me. You have tenacity, that's what makes you, you Aria. Now you go out there with Adagio and show them who's boss!" Sonata said, putting her hand out for a fist bump.
"Yeah, we'll beat them with no problem!" Aria said, colliding fist with Sonata's fist.
"Come on, more battling less talking." Derek said as he and Dean got into position.
"Yeah, let's go!" Adagio said as she and Aria got into position.
Sonata looked at everyone and then made the call. "Now that everyone is ready. Get ready, and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled as they launched their Beys into the stadium.
With that, all four Beys land in the stadium at intense speeds. Achilles took the center while Apocalypse rushed around the stadium. Dragon quickly rushed in and started to attack Achilles with a barrage of full-powered attacks, while Devolos was in Left spin and started to head towards Apocalypse. They were both going in for a head-on collision.
Derek smirked. "Dragon strike Achilles down with a Dragon Launch."
Dean noticed his brother was going on the offensive and decided to follow his brother's move. "Devolos hit Apocalypse with a Shining Launch."
Both Dragon and Devolos slam into Apocalypse and Achilles with their special attacks. But Adagio smiled, she wasn't going to let Dean and Derek get the better of her and Aria. "Achilles counterattack with a Unison Launch."
Now both Dragon and Achilles started to attack one another. While on Aria's end, Apocalypse was getting pushed back by Devolos. But she wasn't going to let Dean defeat her so easily. "Apocalypse! Take them down with Omega Blast!"
Apocalypse hits Devolos with its special attack. The attack was enough to send Devolos flying into the air and it burst! Well, that's what Aria thought but she was going to soon realize she was wrong.
"Alright! One down one to go!" Aria said happily that she had defeated Devolos.
Dean smirked. "That's what you think. Devolos can't be beaten so easily. Now Devolos use Dual Phantom."
Devolos' tip breaks off and turns into two. Aria gasps as the clone starts to hit Apocalypse, while Devolos goes in to double-team Achilles.
"What? How is that even possible? How can a Bey possibly be able to split apart like that?" As she watched the clone attack Apocalypse over and over again with non-stopping attacks.
Adagio watched the clone attack Apocalypse and smiled. "So its tip can break off to let a secret clone come in? That's a pretty cool trick you have there, but that won't stop me and Aria from winning! Achilles! Use Unison Defense to block their useless attacks."
Two shields come out of Achilles, and as Dragon and Devolos try to hit Achilles, all of their attacks are pointless as they bounce right off the shield. Achilles just kept on parrying each and every single attack from the both of them.
Aria was getting fed up with the clone and decided to increase the power. "Apocalypse hit the clone and make it crash into Dragon!"
Apocalypse hits the clone launching towards Dragon. The clone makes contact with Dragon, and with that Ace Dragon was burst into pieces. Derek gasped, now the match was a two vs one. Achilles and Apocalypse vs Devolos.
"Ace Dragon has burst, making the match a two vs one. Now how will Dean be able to take down both Achilles and Apocalypse?" Sonata said as she started talking like a true referee.
Dean started to worry, it was two on one and he was all alone. But he wasn't going to let his brother down. "Devolos once again use Shining launch!"
Aria and Adagio look at one another, they shake their head in agreement. "Prime Apocalypse and Union Achilles combo attack! Sister Strike!" As Adagio and Aria yelled combining their power into one big strike.
Apocalypse and Achilles collide with one another making sparks fly into the air. They then charge with each other and crash into Devolos. All three Beys were sent flying into the air and it looked like they would all be sent flying out of the stadium. However, midway in the air Apocalypse and Achilles hit one another making Achilles burst, making Adagio gasp. But Achilles wasn't the only one to burst, Devolos also burst making Dean gasp. Both Achilles and Devolos both burst midair while Apocalypse landed on the ground right after them.
"It was a close call to make but Apocalypse hit the ground a second after Devolos and Achilles burst in midair. So therefore, Adagio and Aria are the winners of the match!" Sonata said, pointing her hand towards Adagio and Aria with a smile.
"So close, we almost had it. Good battle you guys, we gave it our all." Derek said as he picked up his Bey.
"Yeah, I didn't expect you to use my own Beys for your own weapon. Where did you guys learn that new move all of a sudden?" Dean asked. "You know what was that move called? Sister Strike was what you called it?"
Aria and Adagio look at each other and start to laugh. "We made it up right now."
Derek, Dean, and Sonata look at them in surprise. They couldn't believe what Aria and Adagio had just told them.
"So you two just took a chance with that move? That move could have backfired on you guys but you still took the chance?" Sonata asked.
"Yep!" Adagio and Aria said smiling and laughing.
"If you guys like to take a chance in battle, you guys should go face off with Joy. She loves to take chances and risks in Bey Battles. Her Bey is a Right spinning Balance Type, but her Bey is... well... different." Derek said, but he sounded very confused as he spoke about it.
"Different? How is her Bey different from all the others? Isn't every Bey different in its own special way?" Adagio asked.
"Her Bey moves differently. One second her Bey is somewhere, and the next it's somewhere else. Her Bey has some very erratic movements, truly a Bey meant for her." Derek laughed. "You won't be able to think of a plan to beat her beforehand, unfortunately."
Adagio looked at Derek but then smiled. "The harder the Bey the better the challenge! We're gonna think of a plan no matter what! Do you guys want to help us in thinking of a way to beat her? Whether we have to take a chance or not."
"Sure, why not. We'll be glad to help you guys in beating Joy." Dean said.
"Let's do this girls... and guys!" Adagio said. "We'll find a weakness in Joy's Bey one way or another.
"Yeah!" Everyone else yelled.
And with that for the rest of the day, the Dazzlings and the two brothers trained all day. Thinking of a way to beat Joy and her, from what Derek said, "different" Bey. All having fun with one another and enjoying one another's company. The Dazzling's next stop on their journey was none other than Joy!
Preview: The Dazzling's next stop is Joy. There the Dazzlings will have to take a chance with luck with battling Joy's Bey. It's going to be a challenge but by working together they'll find a way to take down the so-called "different" Bey of hers.
Next Time on the Dazzling Bladers: Take A Chance! Judgement Joker!
4. Take A Chance! Judgement Joker!
The Dazzling's second stop was Joy and if you could guess they were already there. The Dazzlings were with Joy as she took out her Bey to show to the Dazzlings who couldn't wait to see the "different Bey they were told about. They had gotten a lot of details from Derek but no matter what they thought of, they couldn't think of a good enough plan to defeat her. So they had to come into the battle blind with no plan at hand.
"My Bey is Judgement Joker!" Joy said as she happily showed off her Bey to the Dazzlings. "It's a Right-spinning Balance Type. It has two massive blades made up of rubber, and thanks to them that's what makes it so strong." Joy saw the Dazzling's faces and she could tell they wanted to battle just as badly as she did, so without wasting time she decided to ask the obvious question. "So... who's going to challenge me first?"
Adagio looked at Judgement Joker. 'With those rubber blades, its attacks could be off the charts. We're going to have to be wary of those blades. I should go in Defense Mode when I face off with that Bey of hers.'
"I'll like to challenge you, Joy! My Beys sword against your rubber blades." Adagio said, showing off her prized Bey, Union Achilles.
Joy smiled and laughed. "Fine by me! But don't be surprised if I beat you. Now, we're going to go to a first to two points."
Adagio smirked at Joy's claim. "Fine with me." Adagio then turned her attention to Aria. "Aria you can be the referee for this match."
"Alright!" Aria said as she got into place. "Now this will be a first to two points battle. A Survivor Finish and a Ring-Out Finish are worth one point. A Burst Finish is worth two points. The first to get two points is the winner. Now, first battle!" Adagio and Joy got into position as they waited for Aria's call. "Now get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Both Beys land on the stadium and rush toward each other.
Joy smirked. "Now hit Achilles with your Fate's Judgement!"
Adagio noticed and smiled. "Not happening! Block their attack with Unison Defense!"
Judgement Joker and Union Achilles collide. But Joker pushes past Achilles' defense and makes contact with Achilles. Both Achilles and Joker get sent flying high into the air. Joker and Achilles were both about to hit the ground but before they hit the ground Achilles burst into pieces in midair. Adagio noticed and gasped.
Aria was in shock but still made the call. "Judgement Joker with a Burst Finish. With a final score of 2-0, Joy is the winner of this match."
"Not only did Joker get past Achilles' defense but in just one hit, Adagio was defeated?" Sonata said, clearly confused from the whole ordeal.
Adagio picked up her Bey and looked at Joy with a weak smile. "That was a great battle, Joy. Your Bey is incredible, but I won't lose the next time we battle."
Adagio looked down at Achilles and tightened her grip. 'Her Bey is even stronger than I thought it was. Those rubber blades carry some devastating power in them. What's its weakness?'
"Same here! So... Aria why don't you face off with me next? I heard that your Bey has some crazy strong attack power, just like mine. What do you say, Aria, or... are you scared?" Joy asked seemingly mocking Aria.
"You're on Joy! And I'm not afraid of you, I'll avenge Adagio for her big loss and beat you!" Aria said, taking out her Bey.
"I'll be the referee for this match. First to two points, a Survivor Finish and Ring-Out Finish is one point and a Burst Finish is two points. First battle." Sonata said as she got into place. Aria and Joy got into position and waited for the call. "Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" As both Aria and Joy launched their Beys. Both Beys land on the stadium and start to head toward each other at speeds even gods would be envious of.
Joy smiled. "Now just like last time, Fate's Judgement!"
"I won't fall for that! Counter that pathetic attack with Omega Blast!" Aria called out.
Just like how Adagio and Joy's match, both Aria and Joy's Beys got sent flying into the air. Apocalypse and Joker both hit the ground, but sadly one of them hit the ground a second before the other Bey did.
"It was a close one but Apocalypse hit the ground a second before Joker did. So... Judgement Joker with a Ring-Out Finish. Joy will now receive one point. The score is now 1-0. Will Aria be able to make a comeback or will Joy sadly finish the match 2-0 just like their match will Adagio? Find out but for now, it's time for the second battle." Sonata said with a smile, she liked getting into the referee role. Second battle!" Adagio looked over at Sonata and rolled her eyes, she was doing too much for just a friendly battle. "Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" With that both Apocalypse and Joker rush around the stadium once again, heading straight toward each other.
"Now, finish this match with Fate's Judgement!" Joy called out.
"Not if I end this match first! Omega Blast!" Aria smiled.
Both Beys hit each other and got sent flying into the air. But both of them survive the blast and hit the edge of the stadium, and land back in the stadium. Joker survived the hit and started rushing right towards Apocalypse, but on Apocalypse's end, due to the blow, had lost some stamina and now Apocalypse was barely spinning.
Joy laughed as she pointed right at Apocalypse. "Now! Let's end this match once and for all!" Time seemed to slow down, Joker was just about to hit Apocalypse, but something unexpected happened, something that would surprise all of them.
"Apocalypse! Use Prime Reboot!" Aria cried out. Just then, Apocalypse suddenly goes from barely spinning to going back to speeding around the stadium at full speed.
"What? H-How did you do that?" Joy asked, in surprise as she watched Apocalypse race around the stadium back to its original speed.
Since Joker had missed Apocalypse, it was still heading forward. Joker then crashed into the stadium walls and once on impact with the stadium walls, Joker burst into pieces, causing Joy to gasp.
"Prime Apocalypse with a Burst Finish. With a final score of 2-1, Aria is the winner of the match!" Sonata cheered.
"How were you able to do that? How did you all of a sudden get all of your stamina back and dodge my attack?" Joy questioned Aria as she picked up her Bey.
"That's my little secret. But other than that, that was a good match. You almost had me there." Aria said, shaking Joy's hand.
"Yeah, it was the best battle I ever had." Joy said as she shook Aria's hand.
"Adagio what happened? Why did Joker burst once it hit against the walls of the stadium?" Sonata asked Adagio, trying to figure out what happened.
Adagio then began to think. "Joker was charging full blast towards Apocalypse. Do you see how Joker has massive rubber blades on it? Well my guess is with all that rubber and at the speed, it was going, the power reverted back to itself and caused itself to burst. If Aria hadn't dodged it as she did, then Aria would have most likely lost the match."
Joy looked over at Adagio and then looked down at her Bey. "I see. Well, you know, I heard that you guys were challenging all of our friends. You should go to Valex's house. He has an incredibly strong Bey! His Beys attack might be even stronger than mine! It's a Right-spinning Attack type. His brother is also in town so you might get to face him as well."
"I see... girls are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Adagio asked, looking back at Aria and Sonata with a smile.
"Get Joy to help us train to battle Valex!" Aria and Sonata said in unison.
Adagio smiled. "You know it! Now let's get going!" Adagio then turned to Joy. "You to Joy!"
"Yeah!" Everyone yelled.
With that, the Dazzlings and Joy trained to battle Valex. They were going to battle Valex and beat him just like how they did to all of the others!
Preview: The Dazzlings head over to Valex's house. There they face off with Valex and his brother Venus. Venus challenges Adagio to a one-on-one match. It'll be Adagio's greatest challenge ever, will she be able to escape the battle with a victory? Or will it end in a loss? Only time will tell!
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Taking On A Crush!
Author's Note
Bet you didn't expect 4 chapters in the same day, huh?! I've made you wait for too long and for that I plan on making as many chapter as I can before school starts up.
5. Taking On A Crush!
The Dazzling's next stop was the infamous Valex and his brother Venus! The Dazzlings were currently already at their house in the backyard and ever since getting there Adagio kept on looking at Venus, he looked over towards Adagio and waved his hand, and Adagio slowly waved her hand back at him.
"Get in the game Adagio. We aren't here to see your boyfriend, we're here to battle against these guys." Aria said, pushing Adagio out of her daydream.
"Someone is upset that they haven't gotten to see Bael in quite some time." Adagio fired back.
"Why you little-" Aria was about to fire back at Adagio but Valex cut her off and started talking.
"So which one of you guys will face off with us first? My Bey is Sword Valtryek, it's a Right-spinning Attack Type while my brother Bey, Cosmic Valtryek is a Right-spinning Stamina Type." Venus showed off his Bey to the Dazzlings with a smile. Valex looked over at his brother and then back at the Dazzlings. "This'll be a Tag Battle, we heard from Derek and Dean that you guys are pretty good at Tag Battles, let's see how you can hold up against us."
Adagio nodded as she and her sisters got into a group huddle. "Ok girls, I think Sonata should go up since... well... she hasn't really had any real action since Frizzle's and for our other lineup...?" Adagio then stopped when she realized both Aria and Sonata were looking at her with a smile. "Why are you two looking at me like that?"
"You're going up silly." Sonata said, pushing Adagio towards the stadium.
"Yeah, go battle against your boyfriend." Aria said, pushing Adagio as well.
Adagio blushed. "He's not my boyfriend! And stop pushing me!"
"So, it's Sonata and Adagio, that's a good team. But we'll come out victorious in the end!" Venus said with a smirk as he looked at Adagio and Sonata.
Unbeknownst to Valex or Venus, Adagio had equipped Achilles with its Sword. 'Sword Valtryek against Achilles and it's all mighty sword. This should help boost our attack power, giving us just the edge over the two of them.'
Aria got in position as the referee. "Bladers get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" With that, all four beys land on the stadium.
Union Achilles and Cosmic Valtryek fight out in the middle while Sword Valtryek and Turbo Spryzen keep each other in check rushing around the stadium. Sonata looked over at Achilles in surprise.
'So that's what her Bey looks like with its sword activated. But yet why did she take the safe route and take to the center instead of attacking right off the bat?'
Valex looks at his brother and his brother understands and nods. Cosmic Valtryek gets out of the head-on collision with Achilles, making Achilles take the middle, while Cosmic Valtryek headed towards Spryzen.
"Now Valtryek! Use Rush Launch on Achilles!" Valex yelled.
Valtryek started hitting Achilles with a barrage of strikes, not letting loose for a second. While on the mean hand, Cosmic Valtryek started pushing Spryzen back. "This the end of you Sonata!" Venus said as he watched Spryzen being pushed back.
"Spryzen get out of there!" Sonata shouted. As Spryzen was being pushed back all of a sudden, Spryzen's tip gained traction from the stadium and hit Cosmic Valtryek, sending it flying across the stadium.
"What was that? Some kind of new special move you kept in your pocket!?" Venus asked surprised by the sudden change in the Battle.
"Of course! I'm a girl of secrets." Sonata boasted.
'She has no idea what she just did.' Aria and Adagio both thought.
'I have no clue what I just did but it was amazing! I need to think of a name for it. Adagio and Aria can have some flashy special move so, so can I!' Sonata thought.
Sword Valtryek changes its course from Achilles to Spryzen. "Valtryek hit it with your Wing Whip!" Valex cried out.
"Spryzen use Counter Break!" Sonata smiled. 'Now that is what I call a catchy name!'
Valtryek and Spryzen both get sent flying. Valtryek burst while Spryzen hit the edge of the stadium making all of its stamina disappear.
Venus smirked as he saw Spryzen's predicament. "Don't let Spryzen escape! Now Comical Star!"
Now Sonata was worried, but she wasn't going down that easily. "Once again use Counter Break, Spryzen!" Cosmic Valtryek and Spryzen crash into one another. But since Spryzen was out of juice it burst due to the attack.
"Both Sword Valtryek and Turbo Spryzen are out. It's just Adagio and Venus whose Beys still remain in the stadium." Aria announced.
"Sorry, Adagio. This is my win." Venus said as he smiled at Adagio.
Adagio's cheeks turned pink. "I-I'm not losing to you! Go Achilles! Hit Valtryek with a Unison Launch."
'Spryzen attack from earlier must have done something, now then time to hit Valtryek with a little attack of our own.' Achilles hits Valtryek causing it to crash into the wall but it bounced back claiming the middle for its own. 'We can't let it beat us, Achilles has a Sword and a Shield and I plan to win with both!'
"Well quit going on the defense and attack with my sword." A voice said.
'That voice who was that?' Adagio looked around but didn't see anyone, but she then got an idea. 'A sword... that's it!'
Adagio smirked. "Achilles ramp into Valtryek with Unison Sword!"
Venus smirked back. "We won't back down, Valtryek hit it with Comical Star!"
Both beys collide with each other. Due to the collision, an explosion happens making smoke appear. Nobody could see what had happened but they heard a Bey burst. When the smoke cleared, they saw Cosmic Valtryek in pieces while Union Achilles finally ran out of power and came to a stop. Once it stopped however it too, burst into pieces.
"Since Cosmic Valtryek was the first one to Burst, Adagio and Sonata are the winners of this Tag Battle!" Aria said. "You guys were awesome! How did you guys learn those special moves all of a sudden?"
"I knew it all along, I was just keeping it a secret for the right time, and that time happened to be today." Sonata said, lying.
'You know we don't believe you for a second right?' Aria and Adagio thought.
'I hope they both fell for that. I can't have them knowing I just made it up, they would just make fun of me, especially Aria.'
"My move just came to me. It was like a voice told me to attack and quit defending all of the time." Adagio said. "And it's a good thing it did, because if it didn't that could have cost us the match."
"That was a great match you two, it's a shame we lost." Valex said walking up to the Dazzlings.
"Glory is reserved for those who want it the most, so we wanted it more than you guys." Sonata said smiling.
Valex looked at Sonata confused but decided to let it go. "I'm not sure that's how it works but sure. Let's just say that's what happened. So, who are you guys going to challenge next? Bael? Athena? Leon?"
"What about Phoebe? I heard that she's been rising up the ranks." Venus proclaimed.
Sonata tilted her head. "Ranks? What are those?"
"There's a legend going around saying that people with an A tier rank will be permitted into upcoming tournaments later this year." Venus told the Dazzlings.
"What's our rank?" The Dazzlings asked.
Venus quickly did some research and... "You're in the same tier as me and Valex, B tier. But don't worry tournaments won't start happening for a while so you got plenty of time."
"Does anyone have an A-tier rank yet?" Adagio asked Venus.
Venus once again does some research and... "Leon and a girl named Gabby are the only ones eligible to participate in any tournament thus far."
"Girls, we have a new mission! Challenge Phoebe and become A-tier ranked Bladers to enter upcoming tournaments in the future. What do you guys say?"
"Yeah!" Everyone yelled.
With that the Dazzlings trained with Valex and Venus for the rest of the day. With a new goal in their mind, they were going to challenge Phoebe and they were going to become A-tier bladers one day!
Preview: Going to Phoebe to challenge her next, the Dazzlings learn a secret about Phoebe and her life. A secret that none of them could've possibly guessed. After learning her little secret they challenge Phoebe and engage in Battle with her and her Bey! Will the Dazzlings be able to win? Or will they lose? Find out!
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Flying High! Harmony Pegasus!
6. Flying High! Harmony Pegasus!
Once the Dazzlings got word about Phoebe, they decided to head over to Phoebe's house the next day. They were currently outside of Phoebe's house... or so they thought. The house was well... a mansion! The Dazzlings looked up at the mansion in awe, it was huge!
"Is this the right place? I didn't expect it to be so big." Sonata said looking up at the mansion.
"I didn't know Phoebe was rich." Aria said also looking at the mansion in awe.
"There's no time to be surprised about the mansion girls! We gotta find Phoebe and challenge her to a Battle! Let's get going you guys." Adagio said, starting to head to the backyard. When the girls walked into the backyard they saw Phoebe who looked to be waiting for them.
"I'm glad you guys could come." Phoebe said as she sat down drinking some tea as she was waiting for the Dazzlings to arrive.
"Phoebe why didn't you tell us that you were rich? This place is probably ten times as big as our place!" Sonata said still looking at the mansion.
Phoebe smiled. "It's not something I like to bring up to others since I don't want them to treat me differently just because they know my family has money."
"That makes sense." Adagio said nodding her head. "If people find out you're rich, they might try treating you differently just to get some money." Phoebe looked at Adagio and then slowly nodded her head. Adagio seeing her sad face decided to change the situation. "Well, are we going to battle or what?"
Phoebe looked back up at Adagio and smiled brightly. "Indeed we are, this is my Bey, Harmony Pegasus. It's a clockwise spinning Stamina Type." Phoebe then looked at the girls. "So who's going to face off with me first?"
"I'll go first! Apocalypse has been itching to battle for a while." Aria said, taking out her Bey.
Phoebe smiled at Aria. "Fine by me. Let's get going!"
Adagio takes charge as the referee. "Alright Bladers! Get ready and set!" Aria and Phoebe then got into position.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Both Pegasus and Apocalypse land on the stadium.
Pegasus claims the center while Apocalypse starts heading towards Pegasus. Apocalypse hits Pegasus, making the first contact.
"Keep attacking Pegasus, Apocalypse! Hit it with Omega Blast!" Aria yelled out.
Apocalypse hits Pegasus with its special attack. Once it hits Pegasus, yellow wings come out of Pegasus. Aria saw them and started wondering what they were. 'What are those? Are they supposed to be some attack blades?'
'Are they like my Turbo blades, making Pegasus unburstable?' Sonata wondered.
"Finish this match, Apocalypse!" Apocalypse crashes into the yellow wings, making Pegasus gets sent flying.
"Now Pegasus! Reverse Heal!" Phoebe cried out.
Pegasus gets sent flying into the air but instead of bursting as Aria thought it would. The yellow wings go back into Pegasus. Pegasus lands gracefully back onto the stadium and heads back to the center stage.
"Why didn't it burst? It was supposed to burst with that attack!" Aria said confused.
"My Pegasus has never burst before. So you can't beat it so easily." Phoebe said with a smile.
Aria growled at Phoebe's words. "Well if I can't burst you then I'll get a Ring Out or a Survivor Finish!" However, Aria didn't know that Apocalypse was running out of stamina. Just then Apocalypse comes to a stop, making Aria's chances of winning over. Aria gasped not knowing Apocalypse was running low on stamina.
"It's Harmony Pegasus with a Survivor Finish. Phoebe is the winner of this match!" Adagio declared.
Adagio looked as Phoebe grabbed her Bey. 'So those wings only come out when Pegasus comes close to bursting, so when a Bey hits those wings it reverts back to its original state. To beat Pegasus with a burst you have to make the wings come out and then you have to hit Pegasus anywhere but the wings.'
"So who's next?" Phoebe asked looking at Sonata and Adagio.
"I want to go! I want to go! I'll beat you!" Sonata said jumping up and down.
Adagio rolled her eyes. "Yeah sure go ahead, Sonata." Sonata smiled and quickly ran over to get into place. "Bladers, get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Spryzen and Pegasus crash onto the stadium floor.
Pegasus and Spryzen both head toward the center, getting into a head-on collision with one another for the center of the stadium.
"Pegasus send Spryzen out of the stadium with your Feather Storm!"
A storm appears out of nowhere and picks up Spryzen. Spryzen gets thrown into the air and gets sent flying out of the stadium. Making Phoebe the winner of the match and making Sonata the loser. Sonata gasped at how fast she lost.
"Harmony Pegasus with a Ring-out Finish. Phoebe is the winner of the match." Adagio declared. 'That was a crazy attack she just unleashed on Sonata. Both Aria and Sonata have failed trying to beat Pegasus, Phoebe really is powerful. Maybe if there was a way I could make Achilles fly and land on top of Pegasus I might just be able to beat Pegasus.'
"I guess they say you save the best for last. Adagio I've heard great things about you, you better not disappoint me." Phoebe said showing off Harmony Pegasus.
Adagio smiled as she showed off Achilles. "I won't disappoint you, I'll beat you! Just you watch, I'm going to win this match."
Adagio equips Union Achilles with its sword. 'I'm going to attack Pegasus with all I got, then when he uses that move I'll try to take control of the storm.'
Aria ran over to take as the referee. "Bladers, get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Achilles and Pegasus land in the stadium. Pegasus claims the center while Achilles is right on its tail.
"Achilles hit it with a Unison Launch." Adagio yelled. Achilles starts landing a barrage of attacks on Pegasus. After a while, the yellow wings come out of Pegasus. Adagio noticed this and smiled. 'That's what I've been waiting for. Now I have to get Phoebe to use that Feather Storm move. Then I should be able to take Pegasus down.' Adagio then looked at Pegasus and smirked. "Achilles go forth and charge into Pegasus! Finish this match and prove why you're the best!"
"Not so fast, Adagio! Stop them with your Feather Storm, sending them flying out of the ring!" Phoebe yelled.
Just like with Sonata's match with Phoebe, Achilles gets sent flying up in the air due to the storm. But Adagio wasn't planning on losing to Phoebe. "Achilles ride the storm! Slash through the storm with your Unison Sword!"
As Achilles was slashing through the storm, Achilles started to shine with a dim gold. Achilles then finally crashes through the storm and hits Pegasus from above. Both Beys get sent flying out of the stadium and Achilles and Pegasus both land on the ground, but one of them hit the ground before the other one did.
"Union Achilles with a Ring Out Finish. Adagio is the winner of the match." Sonata declared. "Adagio that was amazing! That plan of yours was foolproof!"
"I agree. That was a good idea, you caught me off, guard. I didn't expect you to be able to break through my storm. Your an incredible blader Adagio." Phoebe said smiling at Adagio.
Adagio smiled. "Thanks but I still have a long way to go. Plus I'm no better than my sisters. I just watch my sister's battles and I think of a strategy to beat them."
Phoebe nodded her head. "Well, still that was a great match. By the way, I would recommend heading to Athena's place. I've heard her Bey has some crazy defense, she has yet to be defeated by anyone. She just turned into an A-tier blader yesterday. So now she's allowed to compete in upcoming tournaments."
"Athena is an A-tier blader? Wow... she must be a strong blader then." Adagio then turned to her sisters. "Girls you already know what I'm going to say but I'm going to say it anyways. Our next mission is to train with Phoebe so that we can take on Athena!"
"Yeah!" Aria and Sonata yelled.
'Phoebe said that Athena's Bey has some crazy strong defense. So that must mean her Bey must be a Defense Type. If I face off with her I'll go with Achilles in Stamina Mode without the sword attached.'
For the rest of the day, the Dazzlings trained with Phoebe at her mansion. Their next stop; to Athena's. Adagio was the most excited, she was going to prove once and for all who was the best between her and Athena.
Preview: The Dazzlings head over to Athena's house. Once arriving Athena challenges the Dazzlings to a Battle Royale. Who will win the three-on-one? Will the Dazzlings or will Athena win? And will Adagio and Athena prove who's the best once and for all? You're going to have to find out.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Magnificent! Bushin Ashindra!
7. Magnificent! Bushin Ashindra!
The next day the Dazzlings arrived at Athena's house. Adagio was keen on battling and beating Athena today. Once arriving at her backyard Athena was already outside waiting for them.
"So you've come, I'm glad you could make it." Athena said, as she looked at the Dazzlings and made eye contact with Adagio. "Adagio, I'm even more excited to see you here. Ready to get beaten today and finally see why I'm the better one out of the both of us?" Athena asked teasing Adagio.
"Uh, I think you mean why I'm better than you. I'm beating you today with Achilles!" Adagio said, showing her Bey to Athena.
"Not if I beat you with my Bushin Ashindra first!" Athena said, showing off her Bey to Adagio.
Adagio looked at her Bey. 'Bushin Ashindra... it's a clockwise spinning Defense Type. Phoebe said she was an A-tier blader... in rank wise, she's better than me. But that won't stop me from beating her. I'll prove that I'm better than her once and for all.'
Phoebe smirked, she knew what Adagio was doing, but she didn't mind. "I challenge all three of you to battle me at once. This will be a Battle Royale, if any of you three can beat me you guys win. But if I win then that'll just prove that you guys haven't gotten any stronger."
"You want us to battle you all at once? Won't that be unfair to you?" Sonata asked, tilting her head in confusion. "And we are strong! We've beat everyone up to now, you should be scared of us!"
"Well, I am an A-tier blader, unlike the three of you. This won't only help me to become even stronger but that'll show you three what an A-rank Blader is like at true power." Athena smiled as she got Ashindra ready for Battle. "Now come on, try to see if you can beat me."
"Fine by us, now let's get going. You two ready?" Adagio asked as she looked over at Aria and Sonata.
"Yeah!" Aria and Sonata yelled as they got ready for their Battle.
"Now get ready and set!" Athena yelled.
"Three, Two, One, Let it Rip!" And with that, all four beys had landed on the stadium.
Ashindra takes the center stage while Apocalypse and Spryzen go in to attack it, while Achilles sped around the stadium at the speed of light waiting for the right moment to strike.
"Apocalypse/Spryzen! Attack!" Aria and Sonata said at once.
Athena smirked. "Stop their attacks with Bushin Guard!" A shield forms around Ashindra and as Apocalypse and Spryzen try to attack Ashindra, Ashindra kept on parrying each and every one of their attacks.
"Apocalypse hit it with your Omega Blast!" Aria yelled.
"Spryzen take it out with a Counter Break!" Sonata cried out.
"Take down the both of them with your Tower Counter!" Athena yelled.
All three Beys were sent flying, Spryzen and Ashindra survive the blow but Apocalypse was sent flying out of the stadium. The Battle was now a two vs one instead of a three vs one.
"Adagio, Sonata, you better not lose this! I have my hopes up for you. I may be out of this battle but you guys have to stop her. Prove to her that we can beat anyone and everyone! Just because she's an A-tier blader doesn't mean she's impossible to defeat." Aria yelled out to her sisters as she grabbed her defeated Bey.
Adagio nodded. "You're on it, Aria! Achilles hit Ashindra with your Unison Launch!"
Achilles starts to hit Ashindra with its special attack. Meanwhile, Spryzen was coming towards Ashindra and Achilles at a very high speed, but Athena was ready."Ashindra, neglect Achilles attacks with your Hurricane Defense!"
Achilles hits Ashindra's free-spinning frame, making Achilles change course and make it head toward Spryzen. Adagio gasped. 'If we both hit each other we're sure to lose. But if Spryzen can hit Achilles hard enough Achilles could be sent flying into the air. Then I can do what I did with Phoebe and Pegasus and land on top of Ashindra.'
"Sonata!" Adagio yelled turning to Sonata who was looking at her. "Make Spryzen hit Achilles with everything it has! Just leave the rest to me and Achilles."
Sonata was confused by this but decided to follow Adagio. "If you say so Adagio... Spryzen use Counter Break on Achilles with all you got."
Spryzen hits Achilles and makes Achilles goes flying up in the air. 'This is my only chance to beat Athena!' Adagio smirked."Achilles land on Ashindra and use your Union Sword! Prove to Athena that we're the best!"
Athena gasped. "Don't let them do that, Ashindra! Stop it in its tracks with Tower Counter! Prove to Adagio that we're the best!"
Achilles and Ashindra collide with one another. Both Beys got sent flying out of the stadium. The Dazzlings and Athena all look in shock at what just happened. Achilles and Ashindra both hit the ground at the same time, while Spryzen remained in the stadium racing around.
"Both Achilles and Ashindra got sent flying out of bounds. But since Spryzen is the only one still in the stadium, we win!" Aria yelled. "We won you guys! We actually beat an A-tier blader!"
"Yeah, that's what we call our sisterly bond with one another! Take that Athena, I won and you lost. That makes me better than you!" Adagio said teasing Athena.
"In case you forgot Sonata's Bey was the only one still in the stadium. Both of our Beys both flew out of the stadium and hit the ground at the exact same time. So no one has proven which is better just yet. This battle between us is still on, Adagio. But don't be surprised, next time we'll face off with each other one-on-one and I'll beat you."
"Sorry to break up this catfight between you two but Athena." Aria said getting Athena's attention. "Do you have any idea who we should face off with next? We only have Bael and Leon left to challenge." Aria asked.
Athena didn't take long to answer. "Go with Bael, you should battle him before you go and face Leon. Leon is by far the strongest blader out of everyone we know, people are saying he might become the next World Champion."
Adagio nodded. "Alright... so first Bael and then Leon. And then our little journey to become stronger will be over!"
"Adagio?" Adagio turned to see Sonata looking at her. "What about Gabby? Aren't we going to battle Gabby as well?" Sonata asked.
"No one cares about her, she's just an evil bully. Now come on we're going to train for our battle against Bael and then Leon!" Adagio then turned to Athena. "Athena, you want to help us train for Bael?" Adagio asked.
Athena smiled. "Sure, after all my Bey is the same Type as Bael's Bey. You're going to need all the help you can get! Let's get going!"
'So Bael's Bey is a Defense Type just like Athena's. I'll have to use Stamina Mode to beat him.' Adagio thought.
'We're going to Bael's house?! Why did it have to be him?' Aria thought. She was a little nervous to see him again.
And like that the Dazzlings trained with Athena to beat Bael. Their journey for power was almost over, but what they didn't know was that they were in for a surprise soon.
Preview: After getting word from Athena, the Dazzling head to Bael's house. There Aria will battle against her "crush" Bael. Will Aria get past her "crush" or will she lose her head just thinking about it?
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Impenetrable Defense! Dusk Balkesh!
8. Impenetrable Defense! Dusk Balkesh!
It was yet again the next day and the Dazzlings were currently at Bael's house. It took a while to get Aria to finally come into his house, but they were able to get Aria to come in. Bael was already in the backyard getting ready for the Dazzlings to arrive. Aria blushed and looked away when she saw Bael getting the stadium ready for their Battle.
Bael smiled when he saw the Dazzlings arrive. "I'm glad you guys were able to arrive. Now come on! I want this to be a Battle Royale! Everyone against everyone, no one is a friend with one another."
"That sounds like so much fun! I'm in!" Sonata said, jumping up and down, as she took out her Bey.
"I'm fine with that. But no one better cheat and team up with one another. Right, Aria?" Adagio asked, looking towards Aria.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about." Aria said, looking away from everyone.
Adagio rolled her eyes. "Sure, whatever you say. Now come on, I want to see Bael's Bey in action. Actually, Bael, what is your Bey actually?" Adagio asked.
"My Bey is Dusk Balkesh, it's a Left-spinning Defense Type." Bael said, showing off his Bey to the Dazzling who looked at it in awe.
Adagio smirked. "That's a cool-looking Bey you got there. Now it's time to see what the Bey is like when battling. Now come on let's get going."
Everyone got into position as Adagio made the call. "Now get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" With that, all four Beys land in the stadium.
Dusk Balkesh and Union Achilles charge towards each other to take the middle, while Apocalypse and Spryzen run around the outer edge of the stadium. Balkesh and Achilles clash with one another in the middle of the stadium to take the center.
"Spryzen get in there with Counter Break." Sonata yelled.
"I won't let you do that, stop it with Omega Blast." Aria cried out.
Apocalypse and Spryzen head towards Balkesh and Achilles. Balkesh was about to be hit until...
"Balkesh counter all of their attacks with, Dusk Wing!" Bael countered.
The two green wings off of Balkesh's sides light up, and all of the Dazzling's Bey's crash into Balkesh, making them all go flying into the air. Spryzen and Achilles get sent flying out of the ring, hitting the ground. But Balkesh and Apocalypse were able to survive leaving them the only ones that remained in the stadium.
'So he had some sort of counterattack ready. Aria's boyfriend sure is strong.' Sonata thought as she picked up her Bey. "Come on Aria, you got this! You can totally take down Bael if you put your mind to it!" Sonata cheered.
"Yeah Aria! You got it!" Adagio cheered. "Be sure to beat your boyfriend, okay?"
Aria's face turned red. "Shut up! I got this, I don't need your guy's help!" Her attention then went back to the Battle. 'I gotta beat Bael, but can I really beat him? I can't let these feelings get the better of me. I have to beat him and make Adagio and Sonata proud of me. But his Bey is a Defense Type, and mine is an Attack Type, I have the disadvantage. What would Adagio do in this scenario?'
Bael smirked as he crossed his arms, he knew Aria was freaking out. "Come on Aria, what's the matter? You can't just stay away from me, your gonna have to attack me and my Bey at some point."
Aria gritted her teeth. "Apocalypse hit Balkesh with a barrage of attacks!"
Apocalypse starts hitting Balkesh with a bunch of hits. 'Does this Bey even have a weakness? My Bey can't fly in the air like Adagio's can but I have to find a way to beat it somehow.'
"Go for the middle Balkesh, that's where it's weak at. Let's win this thing just you and me, Aria!" A voice said.
Aria gasped. 'What was that voice? That wasn't Adagio, Bael, or Sonata's voice.' Aria shook her head. 'Whatever, I can't think about that right now. I need to hit Balkesh where that voice told me to hit it, in the middle.' Aria took a deep breath. "Apocalypse use Prime Reboot and crash into the wall as hard as you can!"
Adagio's eyes widened. 'Why is my sister making her bey crash into the stadium walls? Is this part of her plan to beat Bael?'
'Is this what love does to someone? Make them have their beys crash into the stadium?' Sonata thought as she watched Apocalypse slam into the walls over and over again.
Apocalypse crashes into the stadium wall, and due to the recoil Apocalypse changed course from the wall and starts heading right toward Balkesh at crazy speeds.
Bael was confused about what he was seeing. "What are doing Aria? You know you're supposed to hit my Bey, not the stadium. Now come on hit me or are you scared?"
Aria smirked, she had a plan. "Just you wait Bael, I'm going to be the winner of this match! Now, Apocalypse hit Balkesh with your Omega Blast!"
"Parry that attack of hers with your Dusk Circle!" Bael yelled.
A circle appeared from Balkesh, and the two Beys then crash into each other. An explosion occurs making Apocalypse and Balkesh go flying up in the air. Both Beys hit the stadium wall, making both of their Bey's stamina nearly disappear.
Bael gasped. "Keep spinning, Balkesh! Show them your stamina!"
Aria held her hands tight together. "Come on Apocalypse, you gotta keep spinning just a little bit more!"
Balkesh and Apocalypse started to slowly come to a stop. Before they ran out of stamina, the two Beys made contact with one another one last time. Then they both come to a stop but... one Bey stopped spinning just a second before the other Bey did. Meaning someone won while the other one lost.
"Who won?" Aria and Bael asked looking toward Adagio.
Adagio looked at the two Beys. 'So this was her plan all along, she used the impact from the wall to use it as power for herself. That's what gave her just the edge she needed to beat Bael and his Bey.'
"It was the closest match I've ever seen, but Balkesh stopped spinning just half a second before Apocalypse did. So the winner of this Battle Royale is Aria and her bey Prime Apocalypse!" Adagio declared.
Bael sighed. "I was so close! Guess, you win Aria, but you won't be so lucky the next time we battle."
Aria blushed. "T-thanks, Bael. It was a good match you nearly beat me."
"She sure is getting close to Bael don't you think, Adagio?" Sonata whispered in Adagio's ear, so Aria couldn't hear her.
Adagio smiled watching Aria and Bael talking. "Let Aria be Aria, Sonata, plus that was an amazing match they had with one another. Now come on let's leave those two alone for a while. You and me in the meantime can think of a strategy to battle and beat Leon and that Bey of his." As Adagio and Sonata began walking away Adagio began to think. 'Just one more person and our journey to gain will come to an end. Leon, get ready because we're going to come at you with all we got. Just because you're the next in line to become to World Champion doesn't mean anything to us. You're the last thing that stands in our way.'
With that Adagio and Sonata walked away from Aria and Bael and went to go think of a way to beat Leon. The last person that stood in their way to finish their training journey.
Preview: Word finally gets out that the first-ever Beyblade tournament is finally getting underway. Some Bladers are already getting announced that they have entered the tournament. Did the Dazzlings make the cut? Or will they have to watch from the sidelines? Whatever the matter is, the Dazzlings must now fight against the clock to become A-tier Bladers before the tournament begins.
Next Time on the Dazzling Bladers! The First Beyblade Tournament!
9. The First Beyblade Tournament!
It was the next day and the Dazzlings were about ready to head out to go to Leon's house. They were about to walk out of the door when their mother stopped them in their tracks.
"Girls, before you leave to head to Leon's, I have something you might want to see." Sunset said stopping the Dazzlings.
"What is it mom? What do you want to show us? We're kinda in a hurry here." Adagio asked. She didn't mean any hate to her mom but she really wanted to go to Leon's.
"Yeah. We kinda have to head out to battle Leon. So that we can, you know, battle him and beat him." Aria said looking up at her mom.
"Just watch this and then you three can head out to Leon's. It'll only take a few minutes to watch this." Sunset turns on the TV and it shows the Dazzling's dad, Tom, and the dimension traveler, Aaron. They were on stage with a bunch of other people surrounding them, trying to ask them questions.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a special announcement today. The preparations for the first-ever Beyblade tournament have officially been all decided. Rumors got out that only A-tier bladers could only participate in tournaments, and to that, I say the rumors were correct!" The crowd cheered. "Now then, the tournament will begin a week from now. The tournament arena is starting to be built and should be done before the tournament begins. Some Bladers have already gotten spots in the tournament and are now registered for the tournament, and with that, I hand the mic over to Aaron."
Tom handed Aaron the mic, who smiled and nodded his head. "Thank you, Tom. Now then the Bladers that have already gotten their spots verified into the tournament are..." Aaron started as he then pointed at the screen. Just then pictures of Leon, Gabby, Athena, Bael, Phoebe, and Derek with their Beys next to their picture pop up on the TV screen. "These six Bladers have already taken their spots in the tournament. There are still some spots left over, however, but hurry up because before you know it those spots could disappear. Now then we'll like to give out some information about the tournament. I'll let Tom tell you all about it."
Aaron then handed the mic back over to Tom. "Thank you, Aaron. Now first thing first, there will be a new stadium made specifically for this tournament. We call this stadium the Hyper Stadium!" Adagio looked at the screen surprised. 'A new stadium? I wonder what it'll look like. Bladers will have to get a customized to the stadium.' "Second thing, only twelve Bladers will be able to participate in this tournament!"
"How will that even work out?" The Dazzlings asked.
"If you're wondering how that'll work then let me tell you! Six Bladers will be in one group, and all the Bladers will battle one another one time. The two Bladers on each side with the most amount of points will move on to the Semi-Finals. There, the four Bladers will battle it out to become the Champion! Now with that, we only have six spots left before the tournament begins. You better hurry up and take your spot people, with that, we'll see you all a week from now." With that Tom and Aaron walked off the stage while Sunset turned off the TV. She turns around to see the Dazzlings in pure shock.
"I told you, it'll be something you might want to watch. Now you heard your dad, you three better hurry up and become A-tier bladers, or else you won't be able to participate. And I don't think you won't like that would you?" Sunset asked looking at her girls.
"Nope! We need to hurry up and become A-tier bladers fast. We only have a week left to be able to enter." Aria said as she stood up.
"Do you think we'll be able to become A-tier bladers in that amount of time? I mean there's three of us and six spots left, and plus some of our friends might not be able to get a spot either." Sonata said looking at her sisters.
Adagio thought about it. "You actually made a decent point, Sonata. There's me, you, and Aria. Valex and his brother, Dean, Frizzle, and Joy. Two of the eight of us won't be able to participate in the tournament unless one of the six bladers that are already entering the tournament gets into an accident and then they'll have to drop out."
"So we go after Gabby because of what she did to us and make her have to drop out of the tournament, good idea." Aria looks up to see her mom looking down at her, she didn't look too happy to hear what Aria had just said.
"You want to repeat that, Aria?" Sunset asked, looking Aria right in the eyes.
"I-it was just a joke, mom. I wasn't going to actually do anything to Gabby, I promise." Aria said, sweat starting to form due to Sunset's mother's stares. Aria looked away from her moms staring. 'Even though she totally deserves it. I'll just have to get my revenge in the tournament, but first I have to make it into the tournament.'
"Come on girls we better hurry and up and head to Leon's house. This might be our last chance at turning into, A-tier bladers. We'll see you later mom, come on girls there's no time to waste." Adagio said as she started walking out the house.
'We have a whole week until the tournament begins. Why is Dagi saying we have no time to waste? We could probably take a day or two days off and nothing would happen.' Sonata thought.
'What makes her think she's the boss of us? Just because she's the oldest doesn't mean she's the boss.' Aria thought.
"See you in a while girls, make it before your curfew time," Sunset said smiling as she watched the three Dazzlings walk out of the house. 'Those girls will make it into the tournament, I just know it.'
The Dazzlings started to make their way to Leon's house. If they beat Leon they would most likely be able to participate in the tournament. While they were walking to Leon's they all had the same thing in their minds.
'We're going to become A-tier bladers, join the first-ever tournament, and then win it!' They all thought.
Preview: The Dazzling head over to Leon's house with two goals in their minds. Beat Leon and become A-tier Bladers to be able to participate in the tournament. During the Dazzling's battle with Leon, they get interfered with by something, or should they see someone? Who is that person and what do they want? Only time will tell.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Insane Attack! Zone Luinor!
10. Insane Attack! Zone Luinor!
The Dazzlings had finally made it to Leon's house. There they stood in front of the last obstacle that stood in their path. All they had to do was beat Leon right here and now. The Dazzlings walk into Leon's backyard to see him waiting for them. The sky was dark when they arrived, a storm was coming and the Dazzlings knew it. They had to finish this match and fast unless they wanted to be soaked from the rain.
'This storm better not come. I don't want my hair to get wet.' Adagio thought.
Leon smirked. "Glad you three could make it. I've been looking forward to this match, once Frizzle called saying you three were on a Blading journey. I'm happy that you guys chose me to be your last opponent." Leon laughed as he looked at the Dazzlings who were just staring at him, they meant business. "But you didn't come here to hear me talk now did you?" Leon then put on his serious face. "Now then less talking, you came to battle me so let's get to battling." Leon said, starting to take out his Bey from his pocket. "This is my Bey, Zone Luinor! It's a counterclockwise spinning Attack Type. Think you have what it takes to beat it?"
"Of course, we can! We've beat everyone so we can beat you as well!" Sonata yelled. "Just because your an A-tier Blader doesn't make you invincible to beat, and we're gonna prove that to you right here and now!"
"Yeah what she said. We can beat you and that Bey of yours!" Aria said. "Then we'll join that tournament with you!"
'It's an Attack Type with a counterclockwise spin direction. Those two big metal blades look like they can deal a significant amount of damage. We're going to have to be wary of that metal blades.' Adagio then changed her Bey in Defense Mode while equipping the sword.
Leon smirked at the Dazzling's passion. "Let's get going then! If you think you're so strong you three take me on all at once!"
"Alright!" The Dazzling yelled.
"We need a minute to come up with a plan. Come on girls." Adagio said. Adagio takes the girls away from Leon so he couldn't hear what their plan was.
"So what's your plan, Dagi?" Aria asked Adagio.
"I'll take the center to make this a stamina showdown. Aria I want you to wear down Luinor's stamina, with all that metal it'll most likely not have a lot of stamina. And Sonata I want you to be on guard, if you see Aria in need of help, go help her, if Luinor comes towards me I want you to keep him away. You girls got the plan?" Adagio asked as she looked at her sisters.
Aria smiled. "That's a good plan for me! Me and Apocalypse will make sure Luinor doesn't get away from us."
Sonata nodded her head as she smiled. "I'll be sure to help you two whenever you guys need it."
Adagio nodded her head. "Alright, let's go out there and beat him." With that, the Dazzling came back to meet up with Leon.
Leon yawned when he saw the Dazzlings walk up to the stadium. "Took you long enough. Now let's get going shall we." Leon then got into place. The Dazzlings followed and also got in place.
"Get ready and set!" Adagio yelled.
"Three, Two, One, Let it Rip!" With that, all four beys landed on the stadium and all went around the stadium.
Achilles took the center, while Spryzen ran around the stadium looking for its time to strike! Meanwhile, Luinor and Apocalypse were about to get into a head-on collision.
"Apocalypse! Let's end this in one hit! Omega Blast!!" Aria yelled.
Leon sighed. "Luinor! Show them a real attack with your Zone Slam!"
Luinor and Apocalypse collide with one another. But in just one attack Apocalypse was sent flying out of the ring, hitting the ground below.
"What!?" The Dazzling yelled surprised by Leon's attack power.
Leon looked at the defeated Apocalypse and then at Sonata and Aria. "One down, two to go. Don't tell me that's all you guys got?"
'Those metal blades are even strong than I had imagined. I thought Aria could hold her ground and land a good hit or two, not be taken out in just one hit.' While Adagio was in deep thought, Luinor was coming straight toward her. But thankfully Sonata was there to stop it.
"Spryzen! Stop him in their tracks with Counter Break!" Sonata yelled.
Spryzen hits Luinor sending it flying into the air, but it didn't ring it out. Spryzen charges right back towards it to attack it again but Luinor had other plans.
"Charge towards Achilles and take it out of the park." Leon yelled.
Aria growled. "Not on my watch! Block their attack with Unison Defense!"
Two shields come out of Achilles' layer. Luinor hits the shield and gets knocked back. Luinor tries going in for another attack and another but it keeps getting repelled back from where it came. Slowly but surely Luinor was starting to run out of stamina.
"Sonata now's your chance! Attack it and send it flying out of the stadium!" Aria yelled out.
"Right!" Sonata yelled. "Spryzen hit Luinor with your Counter Break at full force!"
Spryzen hits Luinor and Luinor gets sent flying into the air. It starts to come flying down... right on top of Achilles.
Leon smiled like a maniac. "Luinor hit Achilles from above with your Zone Slam!"
Luinor crashes on top of Achilles making Achilles lean down and hit the stadium floor causing it to burst into pieces! Adagio looks in shock but then it turns into anger as she looks toward Sonata. Sonata looks away from Adagio in fear, not wanting to be yelled at.
"You better make that little mistake up by beating him." Adagio said, she then walks up to Sonata and whispers in her ear. "Unless you want to get a visit from the tickle monster tonight."
"I-I'll win! I-I promise I will, and I really am sorry for what I did. I-I was just doing what Aria told me to do." Sonata stuttered, in fear. Adagio could be scary when she wanted to be. The threat wasn't what scared her, in fact, it was more of a reward to her. What scared her was the way Adagio looked at her, staring down at Sonata's with that creepy smile on her face.
'How am I going to win this? If he could beat Adagio and Aria in just one hit how can I beat him? My Turbo Awakening isn't activated so my Bey can still burst. I guess it's over... we lost and it's all my fault.'
"You aren't giving up, are you? That's not the Sonata I know. Now let's get out there and beat Luinor together!" A voice said.
'That voice! Who was that? That wasn't Adagio and Aria, nor was it, Leon. But whoever said that was right, I can't give up! I made a promise and I plan on keeping it!'
"Luinor! Let's finish this! Attack Spryzen with all you got, Zone Slam!" Leon then yelled with an aura surrounding him.
Sonata looked at Leon with her own aura flaring up. "Spryzen! Let's end this, together! Use Counter Break and let's end this!"
"GOOOOOO!" Both Bladers yelled.
Spryzen and Luinor charged right toward the middle at the speed of light. Sonata and Leon weren't going to lose no matter what! But right before the two Beys hit each other another Bey landed right on top of Luinor and Spryzen causing an explosion to occur. All three Beys could be sent flying into the air. Spryzen bursts in mid-air while Leon catches his Bey in his hand, while the other Blader also catches their Bey in their hand. The Dazzlings and Leon look up to see none other than Gabby.
'Gabby? What is that bully doing here?' Adagio thinks back to when she first found out Gabby had caused Sonata to get a blackeye and cause the Dazzlings to get into trouble.
'She got in the way of our battle.' The Dazzlings thought as they all looked at Gabby angrily.
Gabby smiled as she looked at Leon. "Leon! I heard that you're supposed to be the strongest Blader, well I challenge you! Let's prove right here and now to see who's the best Beyblader ever!"
"Gabby? What are you doing here? You got into our battle if you didn't notice." Leon said he was clearly upset that his battle was interrupted.
"Now, Gabby, let's not be so demanding." A voice said.
Leon and the Dazzlings turn back to see Aaron walking into the backyard. Things just kept getting weirder by the second. Just then thunder could be heard and then it started to rain.
Adagio looks up at the rain. 'I hate the rain so much.'
Preview: After Gabby barges into the Dazzling's fight with Leon, Gabby challenges Leon to see once and for who the better Blader is. There the Dazzlings see just how strong Gabby and Leon really are.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Almighty Dragon! Royal Genesis!
12. The Tyrant! Superior-Flux!
"Well, who could have imagined an outcome like that? The first battle ended in a simultaneous Ring-Out Finish. So they're at a draw... for the time being." Aria said as she looked at the battle in front of her.
"That match was crazy! Luinor's attacks were out of this world while Genesis's defense was crazy powerful." Sonata said excited about the battle she was seeing.
'I wonder if Genesis's defense is stronger than Bael's and Athena's Bey's defenses.' Adagio thought.
Gabby smiles while looking at Leon, she was obviously happy with how the battle ended.
"Just as Gabby predicted, Luinor was unable to lay a scratch on Genesis." Adagio said.
"Gabby, you've been able to amuse me this far. Can you keep it up?" Leon asks, looking at Gabby.
"You seem composed but how long will that last?" Gabby asks.
"Say what?" Leon was starting to get mad at Gabby.
Gabby smirked. "I see everything so clearly! In this next battle, your composure will wither away into oblivion."
The Dazzlings look at Gabby in shock, she sounded so sure of herself.
'She can't really see everything so clearly right? Cause that sounds like cheating.' Sonata thought.
"Oh really will it now?" Leon asked Gabby looking at her confused.
"That's right! And once I've utterly crushed your spirit you will fear me and my Bey." Gabby smirked at Leon.
"Now that's just rich, someone like me afraid of you?" Leon chuckles.
"It's time for the Second Battle!" Aaron announced.
Gabby and Leon get into place. The Dazzlings watch in anticipation of the next battle.
"Now, Leon. Come on, show me if you have what it takes to handle my Bey at full power." Gabby said as she got into position.
Just then Gabby had a small flashback.
A few months ago...
"I made this just for you. With the new era involving Beyblades, you're going to need it to stay hidden. Your Bey will be Royal Genesis, your Bey is a Right spinning with the strongest defense. I also made it so your Bey is unburstable, this is my greatest masterpiece ever created!" Aaron said as he handed Gabby her Bey.
"Great! Now all I need to do is learn how to harness Genesis's power. Can you teach me how to do that, Aaron?" Gabby asked as she looked up at Aaron.
Aaron smiled. "I thought you never asked. Let's get your training underway."
For the next couple of weeks, Gabby came over to Aaron's, and the two of them trained for hours. Gabby was a fast learner, a good thing for Aaron. Aaron then made Gabby go challenge kids to battles, she had quickly risen to the top of the charts in about a week. She was by far Aaron's strongest student he ever had.
"There's nothing in this world I can't do. Give me another challenge and this time make it something worth my time." Gabby said as she waited to see what Aaron would make her do next.
Gabby then looks up when sees Leon she takes a close look at him from the toe up. She remembered what Aaron had told her. "Analyze every detail about your opponent. Watch their stance, and their eyes, and breathe. Pay attention to everything, your strategy will begin from there."
Gabby rolled her eyes. "That's obvious you don't need to tell me that."
Aaron sighed, Gabby could be annoying at times. "Yes, I do. You need to watch closer, now go."
'Strategy, technique, analysis, and sheer blading prowess. I'm superior to you in all aspects and I'll make that perfectly clear.' Gabby thought as she smiled at Leon. Gabby's eye then glowed for a second, "My prediction is that Zone Luinor will burst!"
Leon smiled. "Then I'll make a prediction of my own. My Zone Luinor will never burst not even in your wildest dreams. The only Bey bursting will be yours!"
"Now Bladers, get ready and set!" Aaron declared.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" With that both bey launch with incredible launches. Genesis takes center stage once again while Luinor rushes around the stadium.
'It's just like their first battle.' Adagio thought.
"Let's go! Luinor!" Leon cried out.
Luinor starts attacking Genesis from every angle not letting it get a moment to rest.
"Genesis's defense won't let Luinor's attacks approach it at all." Aria said.
"Push it even harder!" Leon yelled.
Luinor pushes Genesis making it move just an inch, Gabby looks a little surprised but quickly goes back to her normal face. Luinor starts hitting Genesis over and over again causing it to get pushed back.
"Amazing! Luinor is moving Genesis!" Sonata said smiling at the battle.
"Luinor doesn't care about anything as trivial as Genesis's defense, he's pushing Genesis out of the center." Adagio said watching Luinor not hold back for even a second.
Luinor then hits Genesis making the two of them lock onto each other as Luinor keeps pushing Genesis making the two go on the move while quickly accelerating!
"He's going for a Ring-Out Finish!" Sonata pointed out.
"Push it out!" Adagio yelled.
Leon was getting serious as his aura surrounded him. "Luinor! Keep pushing Genesis with all you got!"
Luinor picks up speed as he pushes Genesis onto the outer part of the stadium. It really was an all-out brawl. Luinor keeps pushing Genesis, making Genesis crash against the walls of the stadium! Gabby growls in anger at Leon.
"I take it back, he's not going for a Ring-Out Finish." Sonata realized.
Aria's eyes widened. "He's going for a burst finish!"
"Is he trying to beat Genesis's defense with raw power!?" Adagio questioned.
"Now Luinor! Break down that wall!" Leon yelled with all his might.
With that Luinor's tip gains traction from the outer rim of the stadium. Making Luinor accelerate even more than it was before.
Gabby watched as this happened, she wasn't going to lose. Gabby's eyes glowed once again. "GENESIS!! SUPERIOR-FLUX!!" With that Genesis starts glowing a whitish color, and just then an explosion occurs. "THIS MATCH IS OVER! NOW YOU BURST!"
Luinor and Genesis both get sent flying from Genesis, making them go flying into the air, Luinor burst while Gabby grabs her Bey before it hits the ground. Leon looks at his Bey in shock, along with the Dazzlings. Meanwhile, Gabby smiles at her victory.
"Royal Genesis with a Burst Finish! Gabby is the winner with a final score of 2-0! Aaron announced.
Leon picks up his Bey and then looks at Gabby. He wasn't happy but he wasn't mad. "This isn't over yet! We will battle in the tournament coming up! And I will beat you, just you watch!"
"Need some pepper with that salt?" Gabby teased. "Fine by me but if our battle is the same as this one then I won't be so impressed." Gabby looked at Aaron who nodded his head. "Well, I'm out of here. See you later, Leon our match was... a good one." Gabby then looks at the Dazzlings. "I won't see you losers in any tournament any time soon. I heard you guys were on some training adventure to get stronger. But I don't see you three signed up yet, that was expected."
"Hey! We still have time! We have a week before the tournament and there are six spots left, plenty for the three of us." Sonata yelled at Gabby.
"Wrong again. There are only three spots left. Dean, Valex, and Frizzle all got their spots in the tournament just a few minutes ago. Now, quit wasting my precious time." Gabby started walking away but as she did she bumped Adagio and Sonata's shoulders.
"Three spots left... which of our friends haven't entered the tournament yet?" Aria asked.
Adagio then thought about it. "You, me, Sonata, Venus, Bael, and Joy are the only ones who are left."
"Guess your boyfriend won't make it into the tournament." Sonata said looking over at Aria.
Aria rolled her eyes. "Well, he should have been faster, cause those three spots are ours!"
Sonata smirked at Aria. "You didn't tell me to shut up, guess he really is your boyfriend."
"You're getting punished when we get home later tonight." Aria said as she turned to Sonata.
Adagio hears an 'eep' come from Sonata. But that was the least of her worries. Adagio looked down, 'Only three spots left, we better hurry up and become A-tier bladers before it's too late.'
Preview: The Dazzling's Blading journey has finally come to an end. Upset that they when unable to beat Leon they come back home to see Sunset and Tom have gotten them a "gift." That may or may not be an essential aspect for them in their future.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! A Trainer! Arctic Ace!
13. The Trainer! Arctic Ace!
The Dazzlings had just arrived back from Leon's house. They were still upset about not being able to beat Leon but at the same time, they did get to see an amazing match against Leon and Gabby. Although, Adagio wasn't so thrilled about the results of the match between the two of them.
'Why did she have to win the match? Couldn't lady luck give Leon the victory? But... she won fair and square, I can't lose my composure since she won. I'll just have to beat her in the tournament myself.' Adagio thought.
"Hey girls I just thought of something." Sonata said getting the attention of her sisters.
"What is it, Nata?" Aria asked looking over at Sonata. "You wondering how long your punishment Adagio is going to give you going to be?" Aria teased.
"No. Since people were saying Leon was the closest one to be the new World Champion and now since Gabby beat him... does that mean she's even closer to becoming Champion?" Sonata said as she put her hand on her chin in deep thought.
Adagio and Aria both look at each other. Sonata could be an airhead at times but she could be smart when she wanted to be. Adagio thought about it. "I guess it does make Gabby the next in line to become the next Champion. We better up our game if we want to stand a chance to beat her."
Just then the Dazzlings walk into their home to see Sunset and Tom waiting for them, but there was a visitor with them. He was a kid, and he looked to be a bit older than the Dazzling, maybe a middle or high schooler.
"Hi mom, dad." The Dazzlings said as they entered their house.
"Welcome back girls, hope you had a good time at Leon's." Tom said turning to look at the girls.
"Yeah! Did you guys beat him?" Sunset asked as she too turned around to face the Dazzlings.
"Actually thanks for reminding me, Nata come here." Adagio starts dragging Sonata upstairs to their bedroom. Sonata tried to escape from Adagio's grasp but she couldn't escape from Adagio's strength.
Sunset and Tom both look at Aria, "What happened?" They both asked looking at her confused.
"Sonata made Leon's Bey go flying into the air, landing on Adagio's Bey causing Achilles to burst to Luinor. Now for punishment, Adagio is going to tickle her or something." Aria said shrugging her shoulders. She could careless what happened between Sonata and Adagio, she wasn't apart of it.
"Oh great... well while we wait for them I think we should introduce you to someone me and Tom think would benefit your guys Blading skills." Sunset then turned to show Aria the new kid. "Meet, Arctic Ace, he's a genius when it comes to Beyblading. He'll be your three new personal trainer, he'll help you in any way possible. He's an eighth grader but you don't have to worry, he's very nice."
Aria looks at the trainer, Sunset had talked about. He was a bit taller than Aria, he had white skin with teal eyes and purple hair. He had grey jeans, and blue sneakers, he also had on a white jacket a purple shirt with a snowflake on it, and a purple scarf around his neck.
"Names, Arctic Ace, nice to meet you." Arctic said smiling, holding out his hand for Aria to shake it.
Aria smiled at Arctic as she shook his hand. "It's nice to meet you too, Arctic. Sorry about my siblings, they're... interesting to say the least."
Just then Adagio and Sonata came out of the room. Adagio happily walked down the stairs while Sonata was slowly walking down the stairs while also trying to regain her breath. Aria just looked at the two of them.
Aria sighed. 'Do I even want to ask what happened up there?'
"Adagio, Sonata, we want you to meet your new personal trainer me and your mom got you. His name is Arctic Ace, he will be helping you from this point forward." Sunset said as she introduced Adagio and Sonata to Arctic.
"Nice to meet you Artic, I hope my sister wasn't boring you to death." Adagio said as she greeted Arctic.
Arctic smiled. "Oh no, we just started talking before you two came out."
Sonata then walks up to Artic, "It's... nice to... meet you... Artic." Sonata was definitely out of breath, Aria was going to find out what happened.
"What did you do to her?" Aria whispered in Adagio's ear.
"You want to find out and say hello to the tickle monster too?" Adagio threatened as she poked Aria's side making Aria flinch.
"Don't you dare." Aria said, giving Adagio a death stare.
"Or what?" Adagio smirked at Aria. As she poked Aria's side yet again making Aria flinch once again.
"That's it! I challenge you to a Bey battle!" Aria yelled as she stood up and showed off her Apocalypse in front of Adagio's face.
"Fine by me, but if you lose... then you get your turn." Adagio said as she too stood up and showed off her Achilles.
"Did I just hear a battle?" Aria and Adagio turn to see Arctic and Sonata looking at them. "I want to see you two battle, I want to get all the information I can about your Beys. So a battle will be extraordinarily helpful." Arctic said smiling at the two as he took out a notebook.
"Let's go!" Aria and Adagio yell as they looked at one another.
The battle had already started. Achilles took the center while Apocalypse rushed around the stadium looking for it just to pounce on Achilles. Artic had asked for a first to two points, and the score was currently 1-1. Adagio took the First Battle with a Survivor Finish, while Aria took the Second Battle with a Ring-Out Finish. So this was the last battle, the tiebreaker round.
"Apocalypse! Hit it with your Omega Blast!" Aria yelled.
Apocalypse rushes towards Achilles, right before it hits Achilles however...
"Achilles! Counterattack with Unison Sword!" Adagio countered.
Both Beys get sent flying into the air and both land on the ground. Adagio and Aria look at Sonata to see who won. "Achilles takes the match with a Ring-Out Finish. The score is 2-1 making Adagio the winner!" Sonata declared.
"What a great Battle! I got a lot of information about your guy's Beys. And I must say, you guys have some strong Beys you have indeed. Aria those attacks were amazing but try to be a bit quicker. Adagio that counterattack was very well planned but instead of defending try to attack once in a while." Arctic said as he finished writing some notes.
"Got it!" Aria and Adagio said.
Adagio looks at Aria with a smirk. "Oh Aria~." Adagio sang.
Aria looked at Adagio. "Oh no, you're not!" Aria said while running away from Adagio.
"I just want to give you a hug, what's so wrong about giving hugs?" Adagio asked while chasing Aria.
Arctic watched the Dazzlings run around the backyard playing and laughing with one another. Arctic smiles at the scene of the sisterly bond they had with one another.
'I'm going to have a fun time training these three.' Arctic thought.
Preview: After the Dazzlings find out who will and won't be competing in the first-ever tournament, they decide to go through some vigorous training with Arctic helping them out. Meanwhile, Derek runs into Gabby and challenges her to a battle! But things take a turn for the worst during their showdown.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Utter Destruction! Gabby's Power!
14. Utter Destruction! Gabby's Power!
The Dazzlings were currently at home training with Arctic for the upcoming tournament. There were only a few days left before the big day and not even a second could be wasted. While they were training the news turned on, and on the news were Aaron and Tom with yet another announcement about the tournament.
"Attention everyone! We finally got all of the bladers for the tournament!" Tom announced to the crowd.
"The last three bladers were decided?" Adagio asked looking at the TV.
"I guess they were, we better cross our fingers and hope we got it." Aria said as she looked at the Tv with her sisters.
"I hope we all got in." Sonata said as she hugged Aria trying to calm herself down.
"The last three bladers that made their spots in the tournament are..." Tom started, as then the TV switched over. Pictures of Adagio, Aria, and Joy with their Beys are shown to be entered in the tournament as also the last three Bladers that make it into the tournament. "Adagio, Aria, and Joy have taken their spots in the tournament. We've got all the twelve Bladers in the tournament. In a few days, the tournament will commence. Bladers I advise you to get to training and we'll see you at the tournament." With that, the TV channel changed from Tom speaking to some random TV channel.
Adagio and Aria were happy that they were in the tournament but at the same time, they were sad that Sonata didn't make it.
Adagio looked over at Sonata, sad for her. "Hey, uh... Sonata look, these people don't know what they're talking about. You should have definitely been in the tournament." Adagio said with a weak smile.
"Don't worry... I'm glad you two made it. I'll just wait for the next tournament." Sonata said as she got up and went to her room. Aria and Adagio look at Sonata, she was putting on a fake smile, and they knew it.
'Poor Sonata.' They both thought as they watched Sonata slowly walk up to her room.
In another part of town...
Gabby was currently downtown battling some other Bladers. She had just finished a battle with five Bladers at once. Her power was so intense that it made all the Bladers run away in fear. Gabby watched them run away as she scoffed. 'Weak. I need more of a challenge. Not even Leon could give me a challenge.'
"Gabby! I've been looking for you for a while." A voice called out to Gabby.
Gabby turns around and see's Derek, running behind her. 'He's one of the bladers in the tournament. Maybe he might give me the challenge I've been looking forward to.' Gabby watched as he ran up to her. "What do you want, Derek? Gabby asked, tilting her head in confusion.
"I've come to challenge you! We're both Bladers in the tournament and I heard you've already beaten Leon. I want to prove myself and beat you in a battle. So battle me!" Derek said, taking out his Bey and showing it off to Gabby.
Gabby smirked as she showed off her own Bey. "Fine by me. Don't be surprised if you lose."
Derek and Gabby then got into position as Derek made the call. "Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Both Bey land on the stadium, Genesis takes the center while Dragon rushes around the stadium.
"Attack it with your Dragon Launch!" Derek yelled.
Dragon rushes in the strike Genesis but once it makes contact with Genesis, Dragon burst. Derek looks in shock as his Bey bursts.
"Looks like that's all you got. I was kinda hoping for more of a challenge." Gabby started to walk away from Derek.
"One more Battle! That was a warm-up Battle! I'm just getting started!" Derek said as he picked up his Bey.
Gabby turns around and notices the fire in Derek's eye and smiles. 'Now things are starting to get interesting.'
Derek and Gabby started battling each other. They were currently on the twelfth Battle and every Battle ended with a Burst Finish. Gabby was on a whole different level than Derek.
"Alright... now it's time to get serious," Derek said, holding up his launcher.
'That's what you've said for the last eleven battles. And you've yet to beat me, this match ain't even worth my time. But... you are worth destroying.' Gabby's eye glows for a second.
Gabby and Derek then got into position as they made the call."Get ready and set!"
"Three, Two, One, Let it Rip!!" Both Bey's land on the stadium, Genesis takes the center while Dragon rushes around the stadium.
"Dragon! Hit it with Dragon Launch!" Dragon hits Genesis making it go out of the center.
'So he finally took me out of the center. Guess he got stronger during these last few battles. Now, he really is worth destroying!'
"Go, Genesis! Attack him from behind!" Gabby yelled.
Genesis rushes from behind Dragon and slams into it making it hit the stadium walls. Not letting it escape, Genesis starts pushing Dragon into the wall.
"Dragon get out of there!" Derek yelled.
"GENESIS!" Genesis shined as its avatar was let loose in Battle. "Eliminate them!" Genesis started pressing Dragon up against the wall even harder. "It's over! Now Royal Press!"
Genesis pushes Dragon into the wall, and then that's when it happened. Dragon was destroyed into tiny little pieces. Derek falls to his knees in shock that his Bey was destroyed.
Derek looked down at his Bey in shock. "Dragon... it can't be."
"Even for a no one, you were still at least some use to me in the end." Gabby walks away from Derek.
Derek picks up his Bey's shattered pieces. "DRAGON!"
Gabby hears Derek cry out in pain, she smiles at his misfortune. 'Guess my satisfaction has been fulfilled, so thanks, Derek. You really did help out in the end.'
Back with that Dazzlings...
The Dazzlings were training with one another, as Arctic watched them. Sonata was helping Aria and Adagio practice while Arctic was looking at the other competitor Bey's data from the database. That's when his eye caught something.
"Hey girls, you might want to see this." Arctic said as he put on a video on the TV.
The Dazzlings stopped their training and went over to watch the video. "Attention everyone! We have just got word that Derek has dropped out of the tournament. Since Derek has dropped out of the tournament someone else will take his place. And the next in line that was supposed to be in the tournament was Sonata and Venus. And after much consideration, we have decided to allow Sonata to take Derek's spot in the tournament."
The Dazzlings all look at the TV screen. They couldn't believe it, they were all making it to the tournament. Adagio and Aria turn to look at Sonata, she was... crying?
"S-Sonata! What's wrong? Aren't you happy that you made it?" Adagio asked afraid that Sonata was crying.
"I-I am." Sonata said, wiping the tears away. "These are happy tears, now I can join the tournament with you two." She said as she looked at her sisters with a smile.
Her sisters smiled and Arctic smiled, but he then got serious with the girls. "There's no time to wait then. It's time for you three to get to training. We can't let the others get ahead of you. You three are going to go out there and do your best! You, girls, are no longer sisters, in battle your rivals! Now I want you to do your best and have some fun. Whether you win or lose it doesn't matter as long as you have fun! Keep that mindset up, and your sure to do your best." Arctic told the Dazzlings.
"Yes sir!" The Dazzlings said and just like that the Dazzlings started to train once again for the tournament.
All of the Dazzlings had accomplished their dreams and made it into the tournament. Now it was time to train for the tournament, from this point on they weren't sisters, they were rivals with one another. All of them had the same thing on their minds.
'We're going to win the tournament and become Champion!'
Preview: The first-ever Beyblade tournament begins. Sonata faces off with Gabby, Athena battles Dean, and Frizzle takes on her crush, Valex. Meanwhile Adagio gets to have a rematch against Leon. With the tournament beginning, who will shine, and who will fall? Will the Dazzlings be able to keep up with the best of the best? Or will fall behind? Only time will tell.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Revolutionary! The Tournament Begins!
15. Revolutionary! The Tournament Begins!
The day of the tournament had finally arrived, and the Dazzlings had just made it to the tournament grounds. A huge stadium in the middle of a secluded area for the registered Bladers and those who came to watch the battles ensue. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata were in front of the doors with Sunset and Tom, and they were waiting for some friends.
'So this is it... the tournament venue. I can't wait to battle! I wonder who my first opponent will be?' Sonata wondered.
"Can we just go in already? We're going to miss registration and the opening ceremony if we keep waiting." Adagio said, growing impatient waiting.
"Relax, Dagi. The gang all wanted to come and cheer you on, you should be happy that they came all this way to watch you." Sunset said while looking around for her friends.
Sonata and Aria were talking with one another about how the tournament was going to turn out. While they were talking Sonata felt a tap on her shoulder she turns around to be faced with Pinkie Pie, and gasped.
"Pinkie! You made it! I've missed you so much!" Sonata said, hugging Pinkie.
"I'm not the only one that came along silly." Pinkie Pie said hugging Sonata back.
The Dazzling turned to see the whole gang, Rainbow, AJ, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Twilight who had also brought Spike in her bag. Sunset, Tom, and the Dazzlings all greeted them.
"We've all come to cheer you on darlings." Rarity said, looking down at the Dazzlings.
"Thanks, Rarity!" The Dazzlings said.
"Don't you guys lose now! Give it you're all and do your best! Now come on girls, let's get out there and show the world your three are the best!" Rainbow said giving the girls a small speech.
"Yeah!" The Dazzlings yelled fired up.
The Dazzlings walk into the tournament grounds and head to the registration field, while everyone else heads to the viewing area.
"We'll see you girls in a bit! Remember to give it your all and have fun!" Sunset yelled as she waved goodbye to the girls.
"We will mom!" The Dazzlings said as they too waved goodbye.
The Dazzlings had already registered for the tournament and we're in their little training rooms. Every Blader had one of their own little training room during the tournament. Each of the Dazzlings we're waiting for the tournament to begin, Adagio was wiping her Bey with a cloth while Aria was training with her Bey. All the while, Sonata was looking at her Bey trying to hear Spryzen's voice as she did before. Just then an announcement was heard throughout all their rooms.
"Attention Bladers! It's time for the opening ceremony to commence! Get to your places, because the main event is about to begin." The Dazzlings got up and then walked out of their rooms and headed to the main arena. They all thought the same thing, 'We're going to win this thing!'
Meanwhile, in the stands of the viewing area, Sunset, and the gang were waiting for the tournament to start. Just then the whole arena got dark, and then a bit of light flashed in the middle of the arena, and in the middle of the arena was Tom.
"Attention everyone! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the day of the tournament has finally arrived. This arrival has been long awaited but now it's time for the show to begin!" The crowd burst into cheers, with Sunset cheering the loudest. "And now to introduce the bladers participating in the big event!" The whole arena lights up with all twelve Bladers in the middle of the arena. "First we have the fan favorite, Leon, and his Bey Zone Luinor! With a burning ambition, it's Gabby with her Bey Royal Genesis. His Bey has some incredible defense, it's Bael and his Bey Dusk Balkesh. She battles every battle on the edge of a cliff, it's Joy with her Bey Judgement Joker. Known as the princess of Blading, it's Phoebe and her Bey Harmony Pegasus. The prodigy of Blading, Athena, and her Bey Bushin Ashindra. Battling for his brother it's Dean and his Bey Venom Devolos. Also battling for his family member is Valex and his Bey Sword Valtryek. She's a girl of tricks, it's Frizzle and her Bey Wizard Fafnir. A born leader, it's Adagio and her Bey Union Achilles. She can darken even the brightest of lights, it's Aria and her Bey Prime Apocalypse. And finally the dark horse of the tournament, it's Sonata and her Bey Turbo Spryzen."
The crowd roars in anticipation of the tournament beginning. Meanwhile, Sonata tilts her head in confusion. She looks over at her sister for help. "What does dark horse mean? I'm a person and I'm not dark, that's Aria's specialty." Sonata said as she looked over at Aria.
"Be quiet Sonata." Aria said as she rolled her eyes.
"Now then it's time to see who everyone's first-round opponent match is and to see what group their in." Everyone looks up at the screen, group A consisted of Sonata, Gabby, Dean, Valex, Athena, and Frizzle. While group B consisted of Leon, Phoebe, Bael, Joy, Aria, and Adagio. The matchups for the first round were Sonata vs Gabby, Athena vs Dean, Frizzle vs Valex, Adagio vs Leon, Bael vs Joy, and Phoebe vs Aria. "Let's get this historical event underway! Can we have Sonata and Gabby to the stadium?"
All the other Bladers walk off the stage and to the viewing area, while Gabby and Sonata took to the stadium.
'Sonata... one of the Dazzlings that I have to take down.' Gabby grins.
'Gabby's Bey is a Defense Type, I'll go with clockwise spinning Stamina Mode. Not only that but now I have to get the gist of this new stadium.' Sonata looked at the stadium. 'It has an upper deck, if I could climb onto it I might be able to land a smash attack.'
"All I need is one hit and this battle will be history." Gabby said smirking.
The crowd roared at her claim. "Wow, Gabby has just predicted a one-shot Battle. Will it come true?"
Up in the stands Adagio and Aria watch her sister start to get mad at Gabby's insult.
"This is all part of her plan. Make Sonata's mind unclear so she'll mess up." Adagio said as she watched Sonata fall for Gabby's trick.
"Should we warn her?" Aria asked looking at Adagio.
Adagio crossed her arms and sighed. "In this tournament no one is a friend, we're all rivals with one another battling to win the same thing. Sonata has to win this battle without our help."
Aria just looks at Adagio and then back at Sonata. 'Don't fall for her trick, win this thing, Nata.'
"Up into the Finals, every Battle will be a first to two points. Ring-Out Finishes and Survivor Finishes are worth one point while a Burst Finish is worth two points." Gabby and Sonata then got into their positions. "Bladers get ready and set!" The referee said.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled. And with that, both Beys had launched into the stadium.
Genesis takes the center while Spryzen rushes up to the upper deck. Once getting onto the upper deck, Spryzen starts crashing into the walls.
"Oh my, it seems as though Sonata has made a missed launch." The announcer said.
Sonata gritted her teeth. "Spryzen! Fire up the flames and use Counter break!"
Spryzen gets off the upper deck and heads to attack Genesis. But instead of hitting Genesis, Spryzen goes off course and crashes into another wall.
"Spryzen missed its attack causing it to collide with the walls of the stadium!"
Adagio and Aria could only watch as Spryzen went rogue. "Come on Sonata, what are you doing?" Adagio whispered to herself, but unbeknownst Aria heard her.
Spryzen was now barely spinning and heading toward Genesis. Gabby grins once Spryzen was about to hit her Bey. "Now Genesis!" Gabby yells. Genesis and Spryzen then make contact with each other. "Royal Scream!"
Spryzen gets sent flying into the air from the attack. Spryzen then burst into pieces, and Sonata's eyes widened.
"Royal Genesis with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Gabby is the winner!" The referee announced.
Sonata falls to her knees while picking up the pieces of Spryzen laying on the floor. The crowd cheers as Gabby just looks at Sonata. Adagio and Aria ignited with anger seeing their sister lose to Gabby.
"Sonata tried her best, that's all that matters I guess." Sunset said as she looked down. "I was really hoping to see her win."
Adagio looks at her mother and back at Aria. "I'm going to my room to go train. You should too if you know what's best." With that Adagio was off to her room.
Aria watches as Adagio leaves for her room she then turns her head back down towards Sonata. 'Sonata with that battle you've sparked something within everyone. You'll win the next one I just know it.'
"With that match out of the way it's time for the second match. Will Athena and Dean please come to the stadium!" The announcer asked.
Aria was currently heading back to her room, but on her way, she ran into her sister. Sonata was sitting down on a bench with her head down looking at Spryzen. Aria walked over to comfort her little sister.
"Hey, uh... Nata." Aria welcomed.
"Hi, Aria." Not even looking up to look at her sister. Sonata's response was short she didn't even look up to see Aria, she just continued to look down at her Bey.
"Look Nata, that was a good battle. Even though you lost doesn't mean you're not strong. Next time, I'm sure you'll win your match." Aria smiled.
"I'm not sad that I lost. I'm sad because I fell for her trap, but not only that I let down you, Adagio, mom, dad, all of their friends, and especially Spryzen." Sonata said as she looked down.
"I'm... sorry Sonata." Aria got up and walked down the hall to her room. 'I couldn't even help Sonata. What kind of sister am I?' Aria continues to walk down the hall she turns the corner to see Artic walking. "Artic? What are you doing here?"
"I came to talk to Sonata, do you know where she is?" Artic asked.
Aria smiled. "Turn this corner, down that hall on a bench will be Sonata. Good luck, she's kinda hit rock bottom for right now."
Arctic nodded his head. "I'll do my best. Hope you do well in your match Aria! See you later!"
Aria smiles and waved to Artic. 'I didn't know Artic had those feelings, especially for Sonata.'
Ashindra and Devolos collided with each other with a flurry of strikes. The blows were so hard you could feel the attacks from the stands. Dean and Athena's match had already begun, it was currently the Second match. The First match had ended in a simultaneous Ring-Out Finish.
"Now Ashindra! Tower Counter!" Athena yelled.
Ashindra hits Devolos sending it flying, Devolos lands on the upper deck.
"Now! Use Dual Phantom, Devolos!" Dean yelled.
Devolos's clone breaks off, and the clone heads down and starts to attack Ashindra, meanwhile, Devolos comes in for a final blow.
Dean smirked. "Devolos! Use Shining Crux!"
Athena smiled. "Meet their attack with Bushin Guard!"
Both the clone and Devolos collide with Ashindra. Both Ashindra and Devolos shoot into the air, Ashindra then burst into the air. Athena gasps as she sees her Bey burst.
"Venom Devolos with a Burst Finish! With a final scoring of 2-0, Dean is the winner!" The referee said.
"Alright!" Dean yelled.
Athena picks up her Bey. "Not bad Dean, but I'll be sure to win next time."
"Let's get the last match of group A underway. Can we get Frizzle and Valex to the stadium!"
Adagio was in her room training for her upcoming battle with Leon. She has a flashback to when she and her sisters first battled Leon in a 3 vs 1. 'He was able to pierce through Achilles' defense. My attacks won't be able to exceed his attacks. But he does have lower stamina than me, if I go with Stamina Mode without Achilles' sword I might be capable of surpassing Leon.'
"Achilles let's do our best." Adagio said as she looked down at Achilles.
"Will Adagio and Leon please make it to the stadium!"
Adagio looks up at the speaker. "Already? What happened with Valex and Frizzle's battle I wonder?"
The match with Frizzle and Valex wasn't all that crazy. But what made people scratch their heads was how Frizzle lost. You see Frizzle had the match to herself until something happened.
"Fafnir! Wizard Spin!" Frizzle yelled.
Fafnir and Frizzle were heavily in the lead against Valex, whittling away at Valtryek's stamina. Valex knew if this kept going on he would lose, but he knew something no one else knew. He could see ever so often Frizzle take a glance in his direction. After he put two and two together he figured out what was happening.
"Hey, Frizzle! If I win this match I get to take you out on a date. Okay?" Valex said with a smirk
"H-huh!?" Frizzle said confused.
Valex smiled using this to his advantage. "Now Valtryek! Wing Whip!"
Valtryek collides with Fafnir bursting it into pieces. Frizzle gasps seeing her Bey burst.
"Sword Valtryek with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Valex is the winner!"
And now back to the present time, Adagio and Leon were in the arena looking at each other.
"Come on Adagio you got this!" Sunset yelled. "Avenge Sonata!"
Adagio turns around and nods her head to her mother.
"The first match of group A is about to begin. We have the ruthless Adagio going up against the dragon tamer Leon!"
"Bladers get ready and set!" Adagio and Leon get into their places.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Luinor and Achilles land on the stadium both rushing towards the stadium.
"Attack Achilles!" Adagio yelled.
Luinor and Achilles collide in the center. But... then the sound of a Bey bursting could be heard. The whole crowd is silent, and Adagio's eyes widen.
The referee looks in surprise but then he regains his composure. "Z-Zone Luinor with a burst finish! With a final score of 2-0, Leon wins!"
Adagio picks up her Bey. 'W-what just happened?'
"You don't think I was giving it my all when you three came over did you?" Leon asked as he looked down at Adagio.
Aria was in her room and saw the whole thing she could believe what she had just witnessed. Leon walks off stage while Adagio continues to look down toward the ground.
'This tournament is causing all kinds of problems. First Gabby and Leon are acting weird, Sonata and Adagio are upset, and I can't do anything to make things better. And I have a feeling things are just going to get worse down the line.' What Aria didn't know was that Apocalypse was shining a dark black.
The tournament had just begun, and things are already rocky. Will things get better or will things come crashing down for the Dazzlings?
Preview: The last two battles of the first round are getting underway. Bael takes on Joy in a head-to-head clash, and then in the final match of the day are Aria and Phoebe. During their one on one battle with one another, something sinister starts manifesting between Aria and Apocalypse.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Aria! Time To Shine!

Sorry for being gone, life happens. I'm getting a new laptop next weekend, so more updates will be happening more frequently. Hope you guys understand, and I hope to see you all in the next one.
The second match of Group B was currently underway. Joy and Bael were in a head-to-head collision with each other. Joker and Balkesh disperse from each other. Joy had a plan to beat Bael though and her plan was just beginning.
"Now Joker! Use Fate's Judgement!" Joy yells.
"Not on my watch! Balkesh use Dusk Wing!" Bael yells.
Both Beys clash but the Bey that gets sent flying was Joker. Joker gets sent flying and hits the floor.
"That's Dusk Balkesh with a Ring-Out Finish, that's one point rewarded to Bael! The score is now 1-0." The referee announces.
Adagio looks at the battle with a bit of surprise. 'Balkesh's defense really is out of this world. It was able to withstand Joker's special attack. Joy needs to come up with something to beat Bael.'
"Second Battle! Get ready and set!" The referee said.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yells.
Joker and Balkesh land at the stadium, Joker begins with his erratic movements while Balkesh... starts crashing into the walls.
'What's going on Bael? You don't normally miss launch like that.' Aria thought.
Balkesh continues to crash into the wall, Bael keeps watching as if he's waiting for something to happen. Just then Balkesh turns into a perfect circle. Bael smiles, 'Perfect!' Balkesh collides with Joker and takes the center. Joker gets sent flying onto the upper deck of the stadium.
Bael then let out a battle cry. "Now Balkesh! Dusk Circle!"
Joker launches from out of the upper deck and goes above Balkesh. Bael, Aria, Adagio, and Sonata all look in surprise at what Joy was planning.
Joy smiled brightly. "Now Joker! Joker Flush!"
Joker and Balkesh clash with one another. Both Beys get sent flying, Balkesh goes flying out of the ring while Joker goes flying toward the wall.
'If Joker hits the wall it'll burst due to all that rubber it has. Guess Bael wins, you put up a nice effort Joy.' Adagio thought.
Just then Balkesh bursts in mid-air while Joker hits the walls of the stadium and bursts as well. Everyone looks in silence at what they just saw.
"Judgement Joker with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-1, Joy is the winner of the match!" The crowd cheers for Joy's and Bael's match.
Bael simply nods knowing that Joy beat him fair and square; while Joy is blissful for her victory against just then Aria stands up from her seat. 'Well guess it's my turn at last Save the best for last as they say, now let's go Apocalypse.' Aria smiles and walks over to the main stage.
"Alright! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! It's time for the last match of the first round. Our last Bladers rising to the stage are Phoebe and Aria!" Aria and Phoebe walk onto the stage and the crowd cheers for the two ladies. Aria and Phoebe stare at each other from across the room.
"Phoebe! It's been a while, hasn't it? So tell me, do you think you have what it takes to defeat me and Apocalypse?" Aria asked as she showed off her Bey.
"That's funny, I was going to ask the same exact thing. Hope you've improved somewhat after our last encounter." Phoebe fires back.
Aria smirks. "You won't be saying that after I beat you."
Meanwhile Adagio and Sonata look down at Aria. Sunset had her hands tight together, she wanted Aria to win this battle.
"Adagio do you think Aria has what it takes to defeat someone like Phoebe?" Sonata asked Adagio.
"Aria's Bey has the Type advantage in this situation. But that doesn't mean she shouldn't keep her guard up. This is going to be a fierce battle even for Aria." Adagio said as she looked down at the arena.
Sunset looks down at Aria. 'Come on Aria win this thing for your sisters.'
Aria and Phoebe attach their Beys to their launchers and wait for the ref to announce the match.
"First battle! Get ready and set!" The referee announces.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone in the room yells.
Apocalypse and Pegasus land in the stadium, and Pegasus quickly claims center stage while Apocalypse rushes in for an attack.
"Now Apocalypse! Use Omega Blast!" Aria yelled.
Apocalypse hits Pegasus and Pegasus goes flying onto the upper deck. Apocalypse not wanting it to escape rushes after it, but Pegasus flees from its foe.
Aria gritted her teeth. "Don't run away! Come at me with all you got Phoebe!"
"I won't be running away for long! Now Pegasus, counterattack with Feather Storm!" Phoebe countered. Pegasus's storm lifts Apocalypse and carries it into the sky. "Now throw it out of the park Pegasus!"
"Apocalypse gets thrown across the stadium, will this be a Ring-Out Finish!?" The announcer cried.
Sunset, Adagio, and Sonata look in horror as Apocalypse made its way closer to the wall of the stadium. Before Apocalypse hits the wall it turns a dark black, Aria felt a little pain in her chest but it didn't matter.
"Survive it Apocalypse!" Aria cried out to her Bey.
Apocalypse hits the wall and lands back into the stadium, its stamina was starting to run low but it was still in the running. Adagio, Sonata, and Sunset let out a deep breath they didn't know they were holding.
Phoebe however saw this and smirked. "It's all over Aria, finish this off Pegasus!"
Pegasus comes in for a final attack, and Aria realizes that Apocalypse won't have enough time to dodge... but she had one last trick up her sleeve. "Now Apocalypse! Prime Reboot!"
Apocalypse speeds up and collides with Pegasus, however with Pegasus having more momentum it's able to get the better of Apocalypse and sends it flying out of the stadium. Apocalypse hits the floor with a clang.
"Harmony Pegasus with a Ring Out Finish, that's one point awarded to Phoebe. The score is now one to nothing."
The crowd cheers as Aria picks up her Bey. Aria looks up towards the stands to see Adagio, Sonata, and her mom looking at her with a perturbed look. It made Aria feel sick knowing her family was worried for her, just then Apocalypse starts to shine blinding Aria.
Aria wakes up to see that she's face to face with none other than Apocalypse itself.
"A-Apocalypse is that really you?" Aria asked looking at the figure before her.
"Yes, I am Apocalypse, your Bey. I see you're in quite the predicament, so tell me Aria do you want to win this battle?" Apocalypse asked.
Aria nodded her head. "Of course! You don't even have to ask that!"
Apocalypse opened its mouth. "Well if you want to win... then let me take assertive in the second match."
"I'm not so sure... I'm having trouble with winning already." Aria looks down at the ground.
"Do you want to win or lose?" Apocalypse asked Aria.
Aria looks up at Apocalypse and nods her head with a fierce expression. What Aria didn't know was that she was making a terrible decision. Inside Aria was her heart which was starting to turn black.
Aria opens up her eyes, her eyes flash a dark purple, Phoebe sees it and backs away in fear.
"Heed my warning Phoebe, you will fall to me and Apocalypse!" Aria said as she held Apocalypse in her hand with a sinister smile.
The crowd cheers at Aria's statement, as Sonata looks down at Aria in shock. 'She sure is serious about winning this thing.'
Aria and Phoebe then got into position. "Bladers get ready and set!" The referee called.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Apocalypse and Pegasus take to the stadium, Apocalypse immediately strikes it down sending it crashing into the upper deck walls. The hit was so severe that Pegasus's yellow wings came out.
"With just one hit and Pegasus is close to bursting?!" Sonata questioned.
"Come on Aria, beat Phoebe!" Sunset yells.
"Where did all that sudden power and speed come from all of a sudden?" Adagio asked surprised by the sudden increase in power.
Apocalypse charges in to finish Pegasus but Phoebe used the attack to its advantage. "Now! Reverse Heal!" The yellow wings revert back into Pegasus, Apocalypse gets sent in the opposite direction.
"Take them out!" Aria yelled.
The battle goes the same for a while, Apocalypse gets close to bursting Pegasus but Pegasus was always able to recover with Reverse Heal. Apocalypse takes to the upper deck while Pegasus stayed on the lower deck waiting for Apocalypse to pounce on them. Aria's heart turned even more black than before, it was getting dangerously close to being fully enveloped in darkness.
"This is what happens when you face off with the Princess of Beyblade!" Phoebe yelled.
Aria's heart was now more than half consumed with the dark. Aria then looks at Phoebe directly in the eyes, Aria's eyes then shine with a dark purplish black. "Apocalypse is the strongest bey ever!! Now use Prime Reboot and Omega Blast!!"
Apocalypse speeds up and heads towards Pegasus at full power a bit of black was shining behind Apocalypse. Phoebe looked at Aria, Aria had an evil grin on her face. Phoebe gasps seeing Aria so out of control.
'I must stop her before things get too vicious.' Phoebe thought. "I won't let you! Harmonic Thunder!"
Apocalypse rushes down from the upper deck and collides with Pegasus in the center, Pegasus then starts to push Apocalypse back making it head to the stadium walls. Just then Apocalypse's center turned bright red, something that had never happened up until that point.
At last Aria's heart was nothing more than pitch black... she was consumed by none other than her trusted partner, or so she thought; Apocalypse.
"I'm going to win this match because I'm Apocalypse !!!"
A dark black light emits from the stadium and then a huge explosion occurs. Everyone turns their heads away from the all they could hear was the sound of a Bey bursting. When the explosion and light fade away they see Apocalypse still in the stadium spinning as fast as ever and Pegasus on the floor in pieces.
Phoebe falls to her knees, 'I failed to save you Aria... I'm sorry.' A small single tear escapes Phoebe's eye.
'So fragile, I would have liked more of a challenge.' Aria smiled as she looked at Phoebe on her knees in defeat.
Aria simply grabs her Bey and looks down at Phoebe, she then starts to laugh. "Didn't I tell you to heed our warning? You're no 'Princess of Beyblade' your just a girl with a feeble mind!"
The referee had yet to announce Aria as the winner due to him being in complete shock and fear. Aria looks at him in disgust and hatred.
"Do you need glasses? Call the match! Everyone just saw me completely annihilate Phoebe and her pathetic excuse of a Bey Pegasus. Now call it !" Aria's eye shines a dark black scaring the referee even more.
"T-That's a B-burst Finish with a f-final scoring of 2-1, A-Aria is the w-winner!"
"Good job Aria!!" Sunset yells.
Aria doesn't even acknowledge her mom's words and walks off the stage, Sonata and Sunset were happy for Aria but Adagio saw something else.
'Something more sinister was unleashed during their duel. It's as if Apocalypse awakened midway through their battle. Something... off is going on. And how am I the only one who saw an exponential change in Aria's behavior? But then again mom's probably excited seeing Aria win after me and Sonata totally tanked our battles and Sonata is well... Sonata. Unless I'm the one just seeing things... regardless I'm going to keep my eye on you Aria.' Adagio watched her sister completely leave the stadium and return back to her room.
The first round of the tournament has ended but things already seem to be out of hand. What else will happen during the tournament? Will things change for the better or for the worst? Find out on Dazzling Bladers.
Preview: The second round of the tournament begins, Gabby takes on Athena while Valex and Dean throw down. But the climax happens when Frizzle and Sonata's battle commences. Both wanting to get a point, they're giving this battle all they got. During the battle Sonata bonds with Spryzen.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Fafnir vs Spryzen!
Author's Note
So... back after a month of not posting... sorry about that everyone. The wait was a long one, but life happens I guess. However I'm back to stay, there will be 2 chapters by today. But also I'm making a new book, a one of a kind. Hope you all understand and I hope you forgive my absence.
It was the next day and the Dazzlings had just arrived on the tournament grounds. They were currently in the middle of the stadium waiting for their second-round opponent to be announced. Aria had calmed down after yesterday's match with Phoebe. Sonata was jumping with joy to get to battle again, Aria was just minding her own business, and Adagio was just glaring at Gabby with loath in her eyes.
'She'll get revenge for all that she's done one day.' Adagio thought as she continued to glare at Gabby.
"Ladies and gentlemen I'm your announcer and it's time that we launch right into the second round match-ups for the tournament. So without further ado here are the second round match-ups!" The Blader's faces scramble around for a few seconds and then stop. The second round of match-ups was Athena vs Gabby, Dean vs Valex, and Sonata vs Frizzle for Group A. For Group B the matches consisted of Adagio vs Joy, Phoebe vs Leon, and Bael vs Aria. "Let's jump straight into the action! Can Athena and Gabby please arrive at the stadium?"
Athena and Gabby arrive at the stadium and the Dazzlings look down at the battle. "Alright, I'm betting ten dollars Athena's got this in the bag!" Sonata offered.
"You're even more clueless than I thought, but I accept your bet. I bet Gabby will beat Athena in the first battle!" Aria countered back.
"Why? Don't you have trust in our friend? Athena has a chance at beating Gabby remember nobody is flawless. Gabby can and will be defeated one day." Sonata said, fully confident in what she said.
Aria scoffed at Sonata's words. "Oh please Sonata, Gabby defeated Leon, one of the most vigorous Bladers here. He's by far superior to Athena, Genesis will have little to no trouble against a Bey as inferior to Ashindra."
Sunset watches as her daughters fight over who going to win. She looks over to Adagio to see her not engaging with her other sisters. "You not going to take a bet on who's going to win, Adagio?" Sunset asked.
"It's easy to pinpoint who's going to secure the victory in this not-so-climactic battle. Gabby's got this in the bag no doubt." As she looked down at the arena.
Sunset just looks at Adagio in surprise, Aria and Sonata stopped bickering and stared at Adagio in shock.
Down in the ring, Gabby was having a fight with herself in her mind. She was thinking about Aria's match the other day.
'How was she able to tap into that power? That was just like my Superior-Flux but her's was darker. But I can't get sidetracked from her, I have better things to deal with.' Gabby shook her head and then got into position.
"Bladers get ready and set!" The referee announced.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yells. Genesis and Athena both land on the ground.
"Now go Ashindra!" Athena yelled.
Gabby just looked ahead. 'Now Genesis, unlock your power with Superior-Flux.'
Genesis lights up and speeds toward Ashindra. Genesis charged straight toward Ashindra and plows through it like it was nothing. Ashindra goes flying in the air and burst in record timing, Athena gasps in shock seeing her Bey burst.
"Royal Genesis with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Gabby is the winner of the match!" The referee announced.
Aria turns her head and smiles at Sonata. "Poor Sonata, for your little mistake I'll be nice to you... pay me five dollars instead."
"Save your pity for someone who wants it Aria." Sonata said looking away blushing in embarrassment.
"Well... I hope you all enjoyed that match but it's time to move on to the second match. Can Valex and Dean please make their way to the stadium grounds?"
Dean and Valex's battle had already commenced. It was a tied score of one all, it was anyone's game at this point.
"Devolos! Use Dual Phantom!" Dean yelled.
"Stop them before they can take initiative, Valtryek! Take them down with a Rush Launch!" Valex yelled.
Devolos was able to split into two before Valtryek could get to it. The clone hits Valtryek sending it going in the opposite direction.
Dean smirked. "Now Devolos! Use Clone Cannon!"
Valex gritted his teeth. "Take out that nettlesome clone with Wing Whip!"
The clone collides with Valtryek with a huge blow. The blow was so hard that Valtryek large a chunk of its stamina. Valtryek was now wobbling with hardly any stamina left.
"Finish this Devolos! Use Shining Launch!" Dean yelled with all his might.
Devolos hits Valtryek almost instantly Valtryek burst from the strike.
"Venom Devolos with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 3-1, Dean is the winner!" The referee announced.
"That was a nail-biter battle. But now it's time for the last Battle in Group A, Frizzle and Sonata you know what to do." The announced said.
Sonata stands up and heads to the stadium. "Sonata wait!" Sonata turns around to see Aria and Adagio looking at her. "Yeah what's up?" Sonata tilted her head in confusion. "I kinda got a match to get to."
"Do your best sister." Aria said with a smile.
"I want to face you in the Finals so you better not lose to anyone else but me." Adagio said with a smirk.
Small tears enter Sonata's eyes. "Yeah... I'll win just you watch."
Frizzle and Sonata meet at the stadium, Frizzle smiles while Sonata gets her Bey in her launcher. Sonata had a plan that Frizzle would never expect.
"Bladers get ready and set!" The referee called.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both Bey's land on the stadium floor. Fafnir rushes around the stadium at an impressive speed, while Spryzen... slowly spins around the stadium.
"How could Sonata mis-launch during such an important battle?" Aria questioned.
Adagio looked down at the stadium. "Your wrong. Look at Sonata, she's up to something."
Aria looks down to see Sonata smiling, she was up to something... but what?
"Nice trick, but I'm the magician here! Take it out Fafnir!" Frizzle yells.
Fafnir hits Spryzen but instead of sending Spryzen flying, Spryzen actually gains some momentum from the attack. Fafnir continues to strike Spryzen but blow after blow Spryzen just kept getting faster.
"She took a page right out of Fafnir, now Fafnir is the one to have its stamina taken away." Arctic said impressed as he watched the battle from Sonata's room.
Frizzle laughed. "If that's the best plan you got, you better start thinking harder. Now Fafnir!" Fafnir rushes onto the upper deck and gains some speed. "Now finish things with Wizard Blow!"
Fafnir comes flying down the upper deck and rushes toward Spryzen. Although before it makes contact Spryzen's trajectory changes as it goes in for a counterattack.
"Fight back with Turbo Upper Launch!" Sonata yelled.
Both Fafnir and Spryzen collide with one another but sadly Fafnir had more strength and sent Spryzen out of the ring. Spryzen hits the ground, and Sonata looks at her Bey in shock.
"Wizard Fafnir with a Ring Out Finish! Frizzle gets one point, and the score is now 1-0. Frizzle has now taken the lead against Sonata." The referee called.
"Your trick was a good one and that new move of yours was something else. But... only one can win this match and that person is going to be me!" Frizzle said laughing at Sonata.
Sonata just looks at Frizzle and then grabs her Bey. 'My plan failed but not only that but it backfired on me. Now, what am I going to do.' Sonata then looks at her Bey.
"Spryzen, what are we going to do now?" Sonata asked.
Just then Sonata was engulfed in a bright light when the light vanishes she notices that she was face-to-face with Spryzen.
"Spryzen..." Sonata said as she looked at the figure in front of her.
"Hello, Sonata. It's nice to meet you after all this time." Spryzen said with what looked to be a smile on its face.
Sonata continued looking at Spryzen in awe. "Yeah... so hey, Spryzen... do you have any idea on what we should do against Frizzle?"
"Do what we always do in battle. Give it our all and have fun, that's our style of Blading! In Beyblade, there are a ton of factors you got to think about but the main factor is the bond between Blader and Bey. With a strong bond we can do anything Sonata, now let's show everyone the strongest bond ever!" Spryzen said.
Sonata nodded her head. "Yeah! Just you and me Spryzen!"
Sonata wakes up back to face Frizzle with a smile. Frizzle smiles back at Sonata and puts her bey in her launcher. "Get ready Sonata! Cause I'm coming at you with full power!" A yellow aura surrounded Frizzle as she stared at Sonata.
But Sonata wasn't scared at all, in fact, she smiled even more. "Sorry, Frizzle. But I'm going to make the greatest comeback of a lifetime!" A red aura surrounded Sonata as she stared right back at Frizzle. Both bladers were serious about this battle and neither planned to lose.
Both Frizzle and Sonata got into position. "Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both beys land on the stadium however it's the complete opposite of the last battle. Fafnir was spinning so slow it looked as though it could stop at any moment but Spryzen.
"Alright! The Turbo Blades finally awakened!" Sonata yelled, proud of what she had done.
Frizzle looked at Spryzen impressed. "So that's Spryzen in its Turbo Awakening form, glad I could be the first to take it on at full power. Now come on Sonata, let's go!"
Sonata smiled. "You got it! Spryzen hit with a Counter Break!"
Spryzen smacks into Fafnir causing Fafnir to drain its spin. Spryzen continues to hit Fafnir with all it's got but Fafnir just absorbed all of its attacks. Adagio and Aria look at Sonata in confusion.
Adagio sighed at her sister's antics. "What is Sonata doing? Sonata should have dodged Fafnir at the beginning and then tie up the score. Better yet why is Sonata in Right-spin Attack Mode? She should have gone with a Left-spinning Attack Mode to burst Fafnir in one strike. But then again why am I surprised this is Sonata we're talking about."
Aria looked over at Adagio annoyed. "Adagio you better shut that loud mouth of yours. Just watch, I feel as though Sonata's got a plan. She's doing this on purpose because she wants a fierce on the edge of your seat match with Frizzle."
Adagio looked over at Aria and rolled her eyes. "It's pointless Aria, look at Spryzen it's losing steam. Sonata needs to start using her brain during her battles. She finally unlocks the Turbo Awakening for the first time and yet that still won't be enough to save her behind in this match."
"Do you even care or better yet love Sonata? How would you feel if she said that about you!?" Aria's eye flashed purple for a second.
Adagio then angrily yelled back at Aria. "Unlike her, I use my brain! I'll make it to the Finals but it'll be a miracle if she can even win a match!"
Spryzen was running low on gas while Fafnir was charging up for an attack. However, Spryzen's tip gained traction on the stadium floor and sped up. Frizzle gasps as she sees Spryzen gain so much speed and power.
"Where did all of that energy come from?" Frizzle shook her head, she couldn't get sidetracked. "Never the more! Fafnir climb onto the upper deck and gain your own epic power!"
Sonata smiled, she had Frizzle right where she wanted her. "We won't back down! Spryzen you climb onto the upper deck just like them!"
Both Spryzen and Fafnir climb onto the upper deck and charge toward one another. Both Bladers let out a battle cry their Bey avatars were behind them roaring in sync with them.
"Now Fafnir! Wizard Blow!" Frizzle yelled.
"Let's go Spryzen! Turbo Spryzen Whip!" Sonata yelled.
Both Beys jump from the upper deck and collide in the center of the stadium. Sparks flew as the two Beys collided with one another. Sonata and Frizzle were yelling their lungs out, and people in the watching area gasped or blocked their eyes as they saw the battle. During their head-to-head collision, Fafnir's rubber and Spryzen's Turbo blade made contact resulting in a huge explosion.
The explosion was so intense it caused a whirlwind to begin. The sound of windows shattering could be heard but Fafnir and Spryzen were still at a standstill with each other. It looked like Fafnir was getting the edge until Sonata let out everything she had left.
"Spryzen! I believe in you!!" Sonata cried out.
With that Spryzen was capable of slicing through Fafnir causing it to burst into little fragments. The crowd was silent but then it turned into a loud cheer.
"That's a Burst Finish for Turbo Spryzen! With a final score of 2-1, Sonata is the winner!"
Adagio and Aria hug each other and start bouncing up and down yelling that Sonata had won. Sunset couldn't be more proud of Sonata. This was a changing point for the Dazzlings better yet everyone in the tournament, and it was all thanks to Sonata's victory.
"In all my life I have never seen such an action-packed battle like this one folk! Let's give this two a round of applause for their intense battle!" The announcer cried.
The crowd claps their hands for Sonata and Frizzle. Sonata and Frizzle were on the ground in sweat after the battle. They finally found the power within to stand up and shake each other's hands.
Frizzle smiled at Sonata. "That was a great battle Sonata. I hope we can have a rematch again one day."
Sonata smiled back at her. "The same goes for you, Frizzle. You gave me the best Battle I ever had and I'll be more than happy to have another Battle."
Up in the stands, two sisters began to talk again. "So your little opinion about Sonata was off, huh?" Aria asked as she looked over at Adagio.
Adagio sighed as she looked down at the stadium and smiled. "I'll admit I was wrong. Sonata has more potential than I thought she did. She may have what it takes to win the whole thing, but then again I want to win as well." Adagio then looks down at Sonata, 'Her bond with Spryzen is a strong one that's for sure. But that won't be enough to take down me and Achilles!'
Aria saw where Adagio was looking and looked over at Sonata. 'Sonata that was a great battle. But me and Apocalypse won't lose so easily if we have to face off.'
In another part of the arena, Gabby looked down at Sonata with a frown on her face. 'Your sisters are nothing more than failures but you're the biggest one of them all Sonata.' Gabby thought as her Bey lit up.
Preview: The second half of the second round matches begins for group B. Adagio has a rematch with Joy and she intends on winning. Then childhood friends Phoebe and Leon fight it out and then finally, Aria and Bael throw down with one another. But like her battle with Phoebe, Aria loses control once again but this time it seems far more chaotic than before.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Battle Of Loved Ones!
18. Battle Of Loved Ones!
Sonata happily walked back over to her family. She was still thinking about her battle with Frizzle earlier. Sonata sat down in between Adagio and Aria, and almost instantly they asked Sonata questions about her battle with Frizzle.
"Nata! How were you able to do that?" Adagio asked looking at Sonata.
"The better question is where did that new move come from?" Aria asked.
"For your information Adagio, I was able to do that with the help of Spryzen. As for your question Aria, Turbo Upper Launch was help from Artic, thanks Arctic!" Sonata said as she smiled at Arctic.
Artic nods his head with a smile. He then turns his head to Adagio. "Your match is coming up Adagio. Better get going." Artic said.
"Don't have to tell me twice. Get ready 'cause I'm going to get a point as well." Adagio said with a passion in her eye.
"Good luck Adagio!" Aria and Sonata said.
"Ladies and gentlemen! It's time we jump right into Group B's matches! First up we've got the Blader with a sword and shield in her arsenal, Adagio, and her Bey Union Achilles. Then we got the risk taker, Joy, and her Bey Judgement Joker. Both are down a point so whoever wins will get their first point."
"Adagio! No hard feelings but I plan on winning this one!" Joy called out.
"You may have won the last one but I'll win this one! After all, I got a flawless plan, get ready for a twenty-second burst!" Adagio shows off her Bey, Achilles was equipped with Union Sword and was in Stamina Mode.
Joy smirked. "We'll see about that won't we?"
Adagio and Joy got into position. "Bladers! Get ready and set!" The referee announced.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both Beys take to the stadium, and Achilles and Joker charge toward the center. Before the two Beys collide Adagio has a flashback to something Arctic had once told her.
"Adagio your Bey has the potential to dig deep and attack a Bey from below." Arctic told her.
Adagio looked at him surprised. "Really? Like an upper attack?"
Arctic nodded his head. "Yup! That's why you should practice with Achilles to deliver an astonishing upper attack."
"Alright!" Adagio said.
End of Flashback...
Adagio then looked back at Joker and smiled. 'It's time.'
"Now Achilles! Unison Upper!" Adagio yelled. Achilles hit Joker from below sending it flying into the air. Not letting it escape Achilles ran up the slope of the stadium and jumped in the air. "End this! Unison Sword!"
Joy looked in shock and then in fear. "Send it back with Fate's Judgement!"
Achilles and Joker collide and both go flying. Joker then burst in midair and Achilles lands back in the stadium.
"Union Achilles with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Adagio is the winner!" The crowd cheers for Adagio winning her match.
Joy picks up her Bey and waves to Adagio. "Guess we're tied now Adagio. We're going to need a tiebreaker one day."
Adagio smiled. "That battle will go the exact same as this one." Adagio and Joy stare at each other with a fire in their eyes.
"Let's get the second battle of Group B underway! Can we get Phoebe and Leon up to the stage!"
Sonata and Aria stare at one another.
"Adagio sure is strong." Sonata said surprised by Adagio's power.
Aria hated to admit it but Sonata was right. "She can be annoying as well."
Phoebe and Leon arrive at the stage, Leon was smiling while Phoebe was a bit nervous.
'My Bey's a Stamina Type while Luinor is an Attack Type. I'll have to dodge all of his attacks in order to have a chance at winning.' Phoebe thought.
"Phoebe get ready! Cause I'm coming at you with all I got!" Leon said as he showed off his Bey.
"Not unless I can take you down first!" Phoebe said showing off her Bey.
The two then got ready. "Bladers! Get ready and set!
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Pegasus and Luinor take to the stadium. Luinor goes in for a flurry of blows toward the center but Pegasus wasn't there like normally. Phoebe had launched Pegasus on the upper deck away from Luinor.
Leon noticed this and laughed. "Not taking the center? So you're deciding to flee from me and make Luinor run out of steam. Hate to say it but that won't work! Now Luinor!"
Luinor rides up the slope of the stadium and heads up the upper deck. There it charges right toward Pegasus in a rush. Phoebe looks in surprise as Luinor was starting to catch up to Phoebe.
"Now Luinor! Zone Slam!" Leon yelled.
"Take it out with Feather Storm!" Phoebe countered.
Luinor and Pegasus collide in a flurry! Both Beys go flying and hit the walls. Both start to lose their spin and slowly but surely Luinor loses its spin before Pegasus!
"Harmony Pegasus with a Survivor Finish! The score is now 1-0, and Phoebe is in the lead!" The referee announced.
Sonata starts shaking Aria. "Phoebe actually took a point from Leon! She's incredible!"
"I'll admit getting a point from Leon is something. But she still needs to get one more point in order to win. And stop shaking me, I ain't a baby rattle!" Aria yelled trying to get Sonata to stop.
"Be quiet! The second battle has already begun." Adagio yelled at her sisters.
Sonata stops shaking Aria and watches the battle below, not wanting to make Adagio even madder. Aria just gives Adagio a side-eye glare.
Phoebe tried using her plan from the first battle but Leon had gotten to her. Luinor lands an explosive blow on Pegasus sending it flying! But Pegasus recovers and hits the stadium wall and it goes back to taking the center. Luinor repeated his attacks over and over again, causing Phoebe to get worried.
'If this keeps happening I'll lose. I need to do this with my own attack.' Phoebe then decided to counterattack. "Pegasus! Counterattack with Harmonic Thunder!"
Pegasus hits Luinor sending it flying into the stadium wall. Luinor hits the wall but instead of slowing down it uses the impact of the wall for momentum and accelerates toward Pegasus!
Leon smirked. "Kick into overdrive and use Zone Straight once again!"
Phoebe then surprised. "Stop it in its path with Feather Storm! Now divert that pathetic attack!"
Luinor zooms towards Pegasus, Pegasus tries to cease the attack but Luinor advanced through the storm. Luinor and Pegasus collide but the dragon gets the better of the Pegasus and burst right through it. Phoebe gasps seeing her Bey burst while Leon smiles and picks up his Bey.
"Zone Luinor with a Burst Finish! With a final scoring of 2-1, Leon is the winner!" The referee declared.
Aria stands up and heads towards the stadium. 'I'm going up against Bael... I can't get distracted by these dumb emotions.' Apocalypse then shines a dark black and Aria's eye flashes a dark purple. 'I'm going to annihilate him and Balkesh. '
Apocalypse and Balkesh crashed onto the stadium floors and were rushing around the stadium. Balkesh took the center while Apocalypse came in with a flurry of strikes.
"Strike it down! Pound it into dust Apocalypse!" Aria yelled.
"Block it with Dusk Wing!" Bael yelled.
Balkesh blocks away all of Apocalypse's attacks but Aria was determined to break through Bael's pesty defense. Apocalypse rides up the upper deck and goes in for an above attack!
Aria smirked. "Now strike it down with Omega Blast!"
Apocalypse hits Balkesh sending it flying across the stadium. It hits the wall and recovers. Balkesh goes in and hits a nasty blow to Apocalypse sending it flying as well.
Aria looks up to see Apocalypse free-falling towards the outer rim of the stadium. It looked as though it was going to be a ring-out finish for Bael but Aria had other plans in mind.
Aria's eyes turn a darkish purple again and Apocalypse shines dark black. Apocalypse had taken over once again.
"Survive the hit and then demolish them!!"
Apocalypse survives the hit and charges back in to attack Balkesh. Apocalypse strikes Balkesh and Balkesh turns into a perfect circle.
Bael smiled, his plan was now set in stone. "Now Dusk Circle!"
Blow after blow Apocalypse kept on throwing attacks on Balkesh. However, Balkesh wouldn't budge no matter how hard it struck. Aria was getting madder by the second, so Apocalypse took domination.
"I'm going to destroy you!! Balkesh will shatter into so many pieces your days of Blading will be over once I'm done!! Now Apocalypse ends him and his weak Bey!!" Just then Aria lost her balance a bit while holding her head in pain. Apocalypse taking control was too much for Aria.
Bael looks at Aria in surprise. "Aria! Are you okay? What's the matter?"
"Aria is gone! I am... APOCALYPSE!! NOW USE PRIME REBOOT!!"
'I got to stop her!' Bael thought. "Balkesh! Slam them down with Dusk Crash!"
Balkesh and Apocalypse collide with all they got. Neither was letting up for a second. Aria then smiled and looked at Bael.
"Darkness always wins in the end! Now Apocalypse! Use Omega Blast!!"
The blast was so strong that Balkesh got sent flying into the air.
"Goodbye Balkesh!!" Aria let out a demonic laugh.
Balkesh burst into the air, causing an explosion to happen. Bael gasps seeing his Bey on the ground in three pieces. Air looks down in surprise as she though Balkesh was going to be destroyed.
"You were supposed to be nothing when I was done with you. But here you are, not shattered as I had hoped for." Aria's face then turned into a scowl.
Aria then lets out a very demonic yell scaring everyone in the room. She then looked at the referee to let him know that he better call the match before she did something else.
"T-that's Prime Apocalypse with a Burst Finish! W-with a final score of 2-0, Aria is the winner!" The referee declared.
The crowd was silent but then slowly they started to cheer for Aria's win. Gabby glared down at Aria knowing what was going on. Sonata had wrapped around Adagio's arm in fear, Adagio gently rubbed Sonata to calm her down.
Adagio looked at Aria with worry, 'What's has gotten into you Aria? And when will this behavior end?'
Aria was walking down the hall to get back to the viewing ground. All of a sudden she felt sick and ran into her waiting room. Once she got and started holding onto her head in pain. It felt as though her head was going to burst, she screamed out in pain. When she looked in the mirror in her room, Apocalypse was peeking through.
"What are you doing to me?" Aria asked looking at Apocalypse. Apocalypse just looked at Aria not answering her question. "I said what are you doing to me?!" Aria yelled, she needed answers.
Apocalypse opened its mouth. "Making us the strongest team in the entire world. And in order to become the best there's got to be some pain here and there. But if you can't handle the power I wield then maybe you're not cut out to be the World Champion."
Aria just looked at Apocalypse. "Fine... but in our next battle, I'll take full initiative and you will not interfere. Understand?"
Apocalypse just looks at Aria, "Don't be surprised if we lose then." With that Apocalypse left.
Aria came back to her sense and looked around her waiting room. She looked down at her Bey. "I need to control this power." Her Bey and eye lit up and a fierce sinister aura surrounded her and engulfed the whole room. Things were just getting worse with Aria and Apocalypse. But how bad would things get before it was all over? Find out!
Preview: The third round of the tournament is underway. In Group A, Athena and Sonata kick the day off. Then Valex and Gabby face off and finally Dean and Frizzle charge head to head. In Group B, Leon takes on Joy in a battle of rubber against metal blades. Ever wondered who would win in a battle of Defense or Stamina? The question will be answered in Bael's and Phoebe's match. Then what could be the best Battle in the whole tournament: Aria vs Adagio! Who's the stronger Dazzling? Find out!
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Sibling Rivalry! Aria vs Adagio!
19. Sibling Rivalry! Aria vs Adagio!
Adagio was currently in her room contemplating the previous events going around during the tournament. 'Aria's been acting odd lately, I hate to say it but she's become obsessive over victory.' Adagio tightly holds Achilles in her hand. 'When I face off with her I will win!' Adagio then stands up and heads to the stage in order to hear her third-round opponent.
When Adagio got there she saw Sonata and Aria already there. She also saw Gabby giving her a glare so she gave one back. That's when Tom's voice spoke up.
"We're diving right into the third round of the tournament. Currently, these are how all of our Bladers are doing so far." The screen shows Gabby, Dean Leon, and Aria with 2-0 each. Sonata, Valex, Adagio, and Joy with 1-1 each. And Frizzle, Athena, Bael, and Phoebe all with 0-2 each. "Everyone still has a chance at moving on to the semi-finals so don't worry. Now without further ado, the third round match-ups!" The match-ups were for Group A, Athena vs Sonata, Gabby vs Valex, and Frizzle vs Dean. The match-ups for Group B however were Leon vs Joy, Bael vs Phoebe, and... Adagio vs Aria!
All the Dazzling look at the screen in shock. Then Adagio and Aria look at each other both emitting a strong aura around them with a smile. Sonata lets out a small whimper, she was scared to see how this was going to play out. She looks back towards Athena and Athena looks back.
"Fate has already been decided Sonata... you will fall to me." Athena said with a smirk.
"Sorry, Athena but I made a promise to Dagi that I would Battle her in the Finals." Aura then submerges Sonata. "And I intend on keeping that promise!"
Athena simply smiles and walks off. Sonata watches as she leaves and then her attention is focused back on the screen. These were going to be some intense showdowns. Sonata then realizes, her match was the first one of the day.
"Ready and Set!" The referee said.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Ashindra and Spryzen take to the stadium. Sonata had sadly not unlocked the Turbo Awakening mode but she didn't mind. She had put Spryzen in Stamina Mode in order to have the Type advantage against Ashindra.
"Spryzen! Use Counter Break and knock Ashindra out of there!" Sonata yelled.
Spryzen speeds up and hits Ashindra knocking it into the air. Ashindra lands on the upper deck while Spryzen held down the fort in the middle.
"Ashindra! Get them outta there with Tower Counter!" Athena yelled.
Ashindra races down the upper deck and collides with Spryzen. Spryzen tanks Ashindra's hit like it was nothing. Sonata then looks up at Athena.
'Showtime.' Sonata though with a smile. Spryzen starts to speed up and gets out of the center and races toward Ashindra. "Now Spryzen! Hit it with a Turbo Upper Launch!"
Athena noticed that and she wasn't going to let that happen. "On guard Ashindra! Bushin Guard!"
Spryzen and Ashindra slam into one another. Ashindra then goes flying toward the stadium wall. It crashes into it and burst, meanwhile Spryzen loses all of its steam with that one attack completely stopped.
"That's Turbo Spryzen with a Burst Finish! With a score of 2-0, Sonata is the winner!" The referee declared.
Sonata picks up her Bey and smiles. While Athena picks up her Bey and looks at Sonata confused. "What just happened? How did I lose that?"
"I stored all of Spryzen's power in one strike. If I messed up you most likely would have won. But in the end, it seemed to work out in my favor."
Athena just laughs. "You're an interesting one Sonata. Congrats Sonata, but the next time we Battle you won't be so lucky." With that Athena left the stage.
Sonata just smiled. She was finally on an impressive two-win streak! Sonata couldn't wait to face off with her next-round opponent.
"Today's been full of nonstop action. In the second round of Group A, Gabby and Valex threw hands or should I say, Beys. But in the end, it was Valtryek that got thrown out with just one hit due to Genesis's crazy raw power. Gabby is now just one step away from entering the Semi-Finals." The referee said. The screen replayed the Battle showing Valtryek bursting when Genesis slammed into it.
Gabby just looks down at Valex with anger. "I would have liked more of a challenge, but then again you're a weakling." Gabby then walks off while she left a frustrated Valex picking up his Beys pieces.
"Then ending things off in Group A, Dean, and Frizzle went head to head. But things didn't end so well for Frizzle when Dean unleashed Erase Devolos. Not expecting the now counterclockwise Bey, she and Fafnir were given a taste of a Burst Finish. Dean now follows in Gabby's step and is one step away from entering the Semi-Finals." The referee said. The screen replayed the moment when Fafnir burst into Devolos.
Frizzle looks at Dean with determination. "If I had known you had that trick I would have won. I promise the next time we battle I will beat you!"
Dean looks back at her. "Say's the girl who doesn't even have a point to her name." And like that he walks off leaving Frizzle in shock at what Dean had said.
Sonata saw what had happened from the viewing area. "That's not like Dean at all. This tournament is affecting everyone's friendships with each other. Right, Aria? Adagio?" Sonata looks up to see Aria and Adagio just staring down at the stadium. "Uh... Aria? Adagio?"
"Leave them, Nata. Their probably just thinking about their match later on." Sunset said as looking at her girls.
"Alright..." Sonata said looking down, she didn't like how things were going.
Bael's and Phoebe's match was currently underway. Balkesh and Pegasus were colliding in the center with a flurry. The score was tied one all and neither wanted to lose. Finally, both Beys were starting to lose their stamina and both Bladers let out a battle cry. It was going to be a close one but both Beys stop at nearly the whole time.
"It's Dusk Balkesh! With a Survivor Finish! With a final score of 2-1, Bael is the winner!" The referee declared.
Bael picks up his Bey in happiness, while Phoebe sadly picks up her Bey from the stadium. "With that match out of the way let's get Joy and Leon out here!"
Leon and Joy walk out to the stage. The crowd cheers as they both walk up to the stadium. Leon gets in place while Joy did something to her Bey.
'She adjusted her Bey. I wonder how that will influence her Bey's movements.' Leon thought as he got into position.
With both Bladers ready, the referee made the call. "Ready and Set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both Luinor and Joker take to the stadium. Luinor charges up and heads towards Joker while Joy... just smiles waiting for the attack to strike.
"Now Luinor! Drive them out with Zone Slam!" Leon yelled.
"Not so fast! Deflect the attack with Joker Wheel!" Joy yelled.
Luinor hits Joker but due to Joker's frame, the attack was parried. Joy smiles while Leon is a bit surprised. "I changed my Bey into Defense Mode! I'm winning this thing Leon just you watch!"
"Oh yeah?" Leon looked at Joy surprised. "Well, you can't parry every attack! Now Luinor use an onslaught of attacks!"
In every direction, Luinor sent an attack on Joker. No matter what Joker couldn't escape the hold Luinor had it in. Joker was starting to lose steam from all the attacks and fast, it was no longer deflecting Luinor's attacks and the attacks were actually doing some damage. Finally, Luinor got the better of Joker and sent it flying into the air bursting it.
"Zone Luinor! With a final score of 2-0, Leon is the winner!" The referee declared.
The crowd cheers for Leon as he picks up his Bey and leaves. Joy sadly picks up her Bey and leaves the stadium as well.
"With that battle under the bridge, that leaves Leon with Dean and Gabby in making it one step closer to heading to the Semi-Finals. But now it's time for the match of the day. Two sisters put up against each other. Adagio and Aria!" The announcer announced.
Adagio and Aria arrived at the stadium. Neither said a word to the other and attach their Beys to their launchers. Both were serious about winning and neither wanted to lose.
Adagio and Aria got into position. "Bladers! Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Achilles was in Attack Mode without the Union Sword attached. Achilles and Apocalypse rushed around the stadium and collide with one another. Achilles being lighter was sent flying from Apocalypse hit and was sent towards the upper deck. There Achilles sped up and jumped off the upper deck making it go right above Apocalypse.
"Hit it with a Unison Breaker!" Adagio yelled. Achilles comes flying down and hits Apocalypse in a weak spot sending Apocalypse flying out of the stadium. "Union Achilles with a Ring-Out Finish! That's one point awarded to Adagio making the score 1-0."
"Adagio has taken the first point of the match! Will Aria make a comeback or will Adagio wrap things up in the 2nd battle? Find out!" The announcer said.
Adagio and Aria just got prepared and got into position. "Second Battle! Bladers, get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Achilles had been swapped into Defense Mode without the Union Sword attached. Adagio had done that so Achilles could defend against Apocalypse attacks. Achilles rushed towards the center to take a distinct early advantage but before it could Apocalypse was rushing towards it like a wild bull. The two beys collide and... Achilles was hurled out of the stadium resulting in it hitting the floor! Adagio turned around in shock to see Achilles on the ground.
"Prime Apocalypse with a Ring-Out Finish! That's one point awarded to Aria! The score is now 1-1!" The crowd cheered as Adagio picked up her Bey.
"Guess you've improved after the last battle we had Aria." Adagio finally saying something.
"I could say the same thing to you, Adagio." Aria said as she stared at her sister. "Now I hate to do this to you but I'm going to win this thing."
"You're not going to win if you don't use that craziness you've used against Phoebe and Bael. Why haven't I seen some of that action yet? Am I just not worth seeing that side of you? Or are you so sure you're going to win that you're not using it so I can have a chance against you?" Adagio asked as she glared at Aria.
Aria looks at Adagio in shock. She then looks down to see Apocalypse shining dark black again. Aria's eyes widen in shock. 'No! I said I wasn't going to have Apocalypse take over this battle. I gotta win this thing on my own.' Aria shook her head. Apocalypse light fades away as Aria looks at Adagio again. "Oh, I'll win alright. Just you watch."
Adagio smiles, "I'll like to see you try."
The two sisters then got into position. "Get ready and set!
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Achilles and Apocalypse land at the stadium. Achilles was in Attack Mode with the Union Sword attached, Adagio was truly going all out. Achilles and Apocalypse rush around the stadium and then they meet in the center with a monstrous clash!
"Tear them apart with Unison Sword!" Adagio cried out.
"Take them down with Omega Blast!" Aria yelled.
The blast was so strong both Beys were sent flying across the stadium. Achilles and Apocalypse then go right back with a volley of strikes. Blow after blow both Beys were giving it their all. It looked like Adagio was getting the advantage until Aria spiced things up.
Aria smirked. "Activate Prime Reboot!!"
Apocalypse not only sped up but gained some massive power as well. Apocalypse starts whooping on Achilles, Achilles couldn't even have a chance at fighting back. Aria smiled and then looked up at Adagio but when she saw Adagio's face she saw... a smile. Adagio had a plan she was just waiting for the perfect time. Apocalypse kept up on its rampage, and Aria finally had enough.
"Apocalypse! End this battle with Omega Blast!!" Aria yelled.
Apocalypse charged up and headed towards Achilles. Right before it hit Achilles, Adagio's plan swings into action.
"Now Achilles! Strike it down with a Unison Counter!" Adagio yelled.
Aria gasp seeing that she had just fallen into Adagio's hands. Just then an explosion transpires and both Beys go flying out of the stadium and hit the floor below. Everyone goes quiet waiting for the referee's call.
"That's a Ring-Out Finish for... Union Achilles! With a final score of 2-1, Adagio wins!!"
After the referee called the match Aria's head was filled with pain. Aria knew what was about to transpire so she ran off to her room away from everyone. Aria rushes to her waiting room and locks the door. She falls down to the ground holding her head in pain. Aria then meets with Apocalypse again.
"You said you didn't need me in this battle. But ultimately that leads you to your doom! If I had token control we would have won!" Apocalypse yelled.
"I can win without you having to take control. From now on we'll win every last battle we have. I promise!" Aria yelled back.
"Oh, well we alright? Cause I'm taking control of you from here on out." Apocalypse rushes towards Aria with a flurry.
"Wait!" Aria said blocking her face with her arms.
Before Aria could finish Apocalypse had taken control of her. The now possessed Aria woke up and her eye flickered a dark purplish black color.
"This will be the perfect vessel for me. For now, Aria is gone for I am... APOCALYPSE!!

Author's Note
My new book should be out either later today or tomorrow. Be ready for it!
20. Devastating Power! Beat The Clone!
The Dazzlings had just made it to the venue of the tournament for the day. Once arriving they went to the main stage to hear their fourth-round opponents. Sonata was in her head thinking about everything that had been happening. Ever since this tournament began things have just been all over the place. 'Aria's been acting weird since last night. She seems more hostile, maybe it's because she lost to Adagio yesterday ruining her perfect 2-0 lead.'
The Dazzlings arrive on the stage and look at everyone else that was there. They could feel the tension in the air, of course, it made sense after all. The round-robin part of the tournament was nearly over. Just then Tom's voice was heard throughout the room.
"Ladies and gentlemen! We are back for yet another day of action-packed battles! Let's see how these Bladers are doing thus far in the tournament." The screen then shows Leon, Gabby, and Dean with an impressive 3-0 score. Aria, Adagio, and Sonata with a good 2-1 score, and Valex, Joy, and Bael with a decent 1-2 score. And finally Frizzle, Athena, and Phoebe sadly at a 0-3 score. "Now everyone still has a chance at moving on to the Finals. Although these last few battles will be some of the fiercest and most decisive battles yet! Now let's see who's battling who in the fourth round shall we?!" The crowd cheered as the screen scrambles around for a while and then it stops. In Group A it was Athena vs Valex, Gabby vs Frizzle, and Sonata vs Dean. Then in Group B, it consisted of Aria vs Joy, Adagio vs Phoebe, and Bael vs Leon. "Alright then! You know the drill, let's get these matches underway!"
Valex and Athena had arrived at the stadium. Valex smiled while Athena had a worried expression, she knew this match meant a lot to her.
'If I don't win here, my chances at moving on to the Semi-Finals will be extinct.'
"It must be a shame, Athena." Valex said smiling. "At a sad 0-3 standing, if you can't beat me then you're done for. Better yet if you can't beat me what's the chance of you beating Adagio?" Valex knew what he was doing, and it was working.
Athena gritted her teeth, Valex did not just go there. "Adagio has nothing to do with this. Just because I'm not doing so good right now doesn't mean I can't make a comeback."
Valex smirked. "Your time here at this tournament is already over."
Athena attaches Ashindra to her launcher and looks at Valex in anger. She was getting frustrated with Valex's words and she was going to make him suffer for it.
Sonata was in her waiting room talking with Arctic thinking of a plan to beat Dean. Going against Dean was going to be the hardest battle ever. He was up 3-0 unlike her who was up 2-1. His Bey was a Balance Type like her, but his Bey had a clone. The clone was going to be the hardest part of defeating Devolos.
"Sonata, I can't stress enough how serious this battle is for your future." Arctic said looking at his notebook.
"F-for realsies?" Sonata asked looking at Arctic.
"Yes for realsies." Arctic started. "If you lose against Dean he'll move on to the Semi-Finals with four wins and zero losses. However, if you win against Dean you and he will be tied at 3-1 each. Then in the fifth round, you would have to beat Valex."
Sonata looked at Arctic surprised. "So all I got to do is win. But how do you beat a Bey with a clone? That's pretty much a 2-on-1. I can't beat someone like Dean and Devolos." Sonata looked down sadly.
"There might actually be a way to beat Dean. If you can trounce Devolos before it can activate its clone. Think you can do that Sonata?" Arctic asked as he looked at Sonata.
Before Sonata can answer Artic and Sonata hear a bang come from the TV. They turn around to see Valtryek racing around the stadium while Ashindra was in pieces.
"Sword Valtryek with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Valex is the winner." The referee said determining the match.
Sonata looks at the screen to see Valex and Athena both walk off the stage. Sonata could clearly see a small tear fall from Athena's eye. Sonata frowns seeing Athena so upset about losing. But it made sense, now that Athena lost she was officially eliminated from the tournament. Sonata sighed, Beyblade wasn't about winning or losing but about having fun and enjoying yourself.
Arctic looked at the TV and then at Sonata. "Come on Sonata. You should practice your launch power against Dean."
Sonata looked at the TV and then back at Arctic. "Yeah right..."
"The second round of Group A has already begun. Frizzle started things off with a slow launch while Gabby unleashed a powerful launch." The announcer announced.
Fafnir had taken the center while Genesis rushed right towards it. Genesis and Fafnir then crashed right into a head-on collision. Fafnir started to speed up while Genesis kept on colliding with it. Genesis then disengages with Fafnir and starts to strike Fafnir with a flurry of blows. However the volley of attacks had no effect on Fafnir, in fact, Fafnir just kept speeding up.
After a while Fafnir was spinning at such a fast speed the ground started to shake. On the other hand, Genesis was wobbling and almost about to fall over due to a loss of stamina.
"It's all over for you Gabby! Now, Fafnir! Use Wizard Blow!" Frizzle yelled.
Fafnir speeds up even more and charges toward Genesis. Frizzle was smiling as if she had already won the battle. But before Fafnir slams into Genesis, Gabby's eye lights up.
"Genesis! Use Hybrid Force!" Gabby yelled.
Genesis tip starts spinning and it makes Royal Genesis accelerate increasing its spin as it sped towards Fafnir. Genesis and Fafnir collide with one another and then Genesis gets the better of Fafnir and burst through Fafnir as if it was nothing. Frizzle gasps seeing her Bey burst right in front of her.
"That's Royal Genesis with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Gabby is the winner!! Gabby has now secured her spot in the Semi-Finals!" The crowd cheers for Gabby while she simply leaves the room. Frizzle picks up her Bey sadly and leaves the room.
Sonata then stands up from her seat in her waiting room and starts to head out. 'I'm going to prove to everyone just what Beyblade is all about through this battle with Dean.' Spryzen then lights up in Sonata's hand.
Sonata and Dean arrive at the stadium. Dean and Sonata both smile at each other.
"I've been waiting for this battle for a long time. Let's give these people a show Sonata!" Dean said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Sonata said smiling as she got into position.
"Bladers! Get ready and set!" The referee said.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Devolos and Spryzen rush around the stadium. Both were in clockwise spinning mode. Spryzen was in Attack Mode, she was focused on agility and power.
"Get it there with a Counter Break!" Sonata yelled.
"Charge in with a Shining Launch!" Dean yelled.
The two Beys make first contact and both go flying from the strike. They both perfectly land on the upper deck and speed up. Devolos and Spryzen fly off the upper deck and collide with one another in the center.
"Neither Venom Devolos nor Turbo Spryzen is backing down!" The announcer said. "And now Venom Devolos is starting to get pushed back!"
Spryzen gets the better of Devolos sending it flying out of the center. Devolos hits the stadium wall and splits it into two!
"Now Devolos! Use Dual Phantom!" Dean cried out.
Devolos clone charges in and starts pummeling Spryzen with a barrage of strikes. Spryzen just takes the hits, Sonata looks at the scene but she doesn't mind the clone and looks at Devolos on the upper deck. Sonata had a plan she just needed Dean to send Devolos her way first. Out of nowhere, the clone ceases its attack on Spryzen and heads toward Devolos. The clone meets Devolos right at the rim of the upper deck.
Dean smirked. "Now Devolos! Use Clone Cannon!!"
Devolos hits the clone ricocheting it toward Spryzen! The clone projects towards Spryzen like a rocket and the clone and Spryzen make contact. The clone was going so fast that once it hit Spryzen, Spryzen was sent flying out of the stadium. It hits the floor below making the first battle over. Sonata looked at her Bey in shock, what crazy power Dean had.
"Venom Devolos with a Ring-Out Finish! The score is now 1-0 and Dean is in the lead!" The referee said.
Sonata picks up her Bey and looks back at Dean. How did he ever come up with a move like that? "How did you ever learn a move like that?" Sonata asked.
Dean smiled. "During our little Tag Battle with you and Adagio. When your Bey hit my clone and sent it flying over to Dragon. Not only causing Dragon to burst but for us to lose the battle as well. Thanks to you, I was able to come up with Clone Cannon."
Sonata looks at Dean in shock. 'It was all thanks to me that he was able to come up with that move?' Sonata then looks down at Spryzen with fear and worry in her eyes. 'What are we going to do Spryzen?' Sonata is then put into a void with just her and Spryzen.
"Spryzen. I don't know what to do. That clone is way more of a problem than I thought. I don't think I can overcome something so difficult to beat." Sonata said as she looked down.
"Whether we will or lose, you wanted to show everyone your way of Blading, right?" Spryzen asked Sonata.
"Well yeah. But winning would also be a bonus! I want to show Adagio and Aria that I'm not their clumsy sister who makes mistakes all the time. I want to keep my promise and battle Adagio in the Finals! And most importantly I want you and me to be the best team in the world!" Sonata said with a fire in her eyes.
Spryzen then nods its head. "Very well. In order to beat Devolos you must use the clone to your advantage. Whenever Devolos splits into two it goes into the air for a few seconds. Before it lands back onto the stadium floor we should strike it down! Then if it survives our attack and tries to unleash Clone Cannon we send it back its way!"
Sonata looked at Spryzen and smiled. "That sounds like an amazing idea! Thanks, Spryzen! I'll be sure to show everyone my style of Blading!"
Sonata wakes up and finds herself in front of Dean. She smiles and changes her Bey from clockwise spinning to counterclockwise spinning, and she decided to keep Spryzen in Attack Mode. She sees Dean also adjust his Bey.
"The Second Battle is about to begin and Dean has amazingly taken the first point! His strength is the real deal!" The announcer yelled.
"I'm taking you down this battle! Your experience may be greater but my bond with Spryzen will go to the fullest extent!" Sonata said as she showed off her Bey.
Dean smirked as he showed off Devolos. "I'll be the judge of that! Now let's get going!"
Both Dean and Sonata got into position. "Bladers! Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both Spryzen and Devolos land on the stadium with tremendous force. Both were in Left spinning mode and both were going straight to the center. Not only that but Turbo Spryzen had unlocked its Turbo Awakening.
"Send it flying!" Dean yelled.
"Turbo Upper Launch!" Sonata yelled.
The two Beys collide and both start sending a barrage of attacks and strikes toward each other. Spryzen and Devolos then separate from each other and Devolos goes to the upper deck while Spryzen stays on the lower deck waiting for Devolos to pounce. Sonata then looks at Dean and he's looking at the wall of the stadium.
Dean then smiles. "Now Devolos! Use Dual Phantom!"
Time seems to slow down for Sonata. She had to strike now and she had to strike hard! Spryzen starts to speed up and heads right toward Devolos!
"Spryzen! Strike it down before it lands! Use Counter Break!" Sonata cried out.
Spryzen hits Devolos before it lands sending it flying. The clone comes off and Devolos survives the hit by hitting the stadium walls. Devolos then speeds up on the upper deck and goes to its clone.
Dean then pointed at Spryzen. "Now Devolos! Use Clone Cannon and end this!" The clone was then projected toward Spryzen.
But unlike before Sonata was ready for it. "Spryzen! Send that clone the other way with Turbo Spryzen Whip!"
Spryzen hits the clone sending it back to Devolos. This time however the clone had more power than before and hits Devolos. Devolos gets hit by the clone and starts to wobble, the clone gets knocked out of the center making it out of commission. Sonata uses this as her advantage and Spryzen rushes towards Devolos!
Sonata smiled seeing her chance. "Now Spryzen! Use Turbo Spryzen Whip one more time and end this!"
Dean was getting worried but he had one last plan. "Devolos use Shining Launch with everything you have!"
Devolos and Spryzen collide with each other. Spryzen having more momentum hits Devolos and Devolos gets sent reeling back from Spryzen's attack. Devolos then burst into the air causing an explosion to occur. When the smoke clears it shows Devolos in pieces and Spryzen happily spinning around the stadium.
"That's a Burst Finish for Turbo Spryzen! With a final score of 2-1, Sonata is the winner!" The referee declared.
"This is my style of Blading!" Sonata yells as she showed off her Bey to everyone in the arena.
The crowd cheers for Sonata while Gabby looks down at Sonata. 'When we battle again... I'll annihilate you!!"
Preview: Group B's, fourth-round matches are starting up. Aria and Joy have the rematch they've been waiting for. Adagio takes on the Princess of Blading, Phoebe, and then as the match with Bael and Leon is underway it looks as though Bael has the advantage. That is until Leon does something that surprises everyone.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Breaking Through! Zone Hammer!
21. Breaking Through! Zone Hammer!
Group B's first match was about to begin. Aria was currently in her room training for her Battle against Joy. Apocalypse was racing around the stadium with a dark aura around them.
'I've beaten her before and I can beat her again! I'm stronger than ever in fact.... I'll annihilate her and that terrible Bey of hers!!'
Just then the announcer went off. "The first Battle of Group B is about to begin! I hope you're all excited about this battle, this one's going to be a good one! Can we get Aria and Joy to the stadium please?"
Aria picked up her Bey from the stadium and then walked out of her waiting room when she heard Tom's voice. If Aria won this battle she would be one step closer to making it to the Semi-Finals.
"Alright! Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! Starting us off in Group B is the girl that always takes a chance, Joy and her Bey Judgement Joker going up against the girl surrounded in darkness, Aria and her Bey Prime Apocalypse!" The announcer said.
Aria and Joy arrive at the stadium. Joy happily smiled at Aria while Aria just looked at Joy.
"We finally get our rematch! Hope your ready Aria, because I'm going to win this one!" Joy said as she showed off her Judgement Joker to Aria.
Aria stayed silent and attached her Bey to her launcher. 'I'm going to beat you in the First Battle.'
"One strike and this battle will be over!" Aria said as she showed off her Apocalypse.
Both Aria and Joy got into position. "Bladers! Get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled. With that both Bey's land on the stadium.
Joker races around the stadium, while Apocalypse... was crashing into the walls? Did Aria make a mis-launch? Aria smiles when she sees her Bey crashing into the wall.
Apocalypse kept crashing into the walls of the stadium. Apocalypse was starting to lose speed from hitting the walls. Just then for the first time, the center of Apocalypse turns red. Aria lets out an evil grin and her eyes turn a bright purplish black. Apocalypse then sped up on its own thanks to Prime Reboot. Apocalypse races off from the upper deck and towards Joker.
Joy smiles. "Here's our chance Joker! Use Fate's Judgement!"
Aria smirked, her plan was all coming together. "Now! Omega Blast!!"
The two Beys collide causing a massive whirlwind to stirrup. Joker gets sent flying up in the air due to the whirlwind and burst into pieces. Joy gasp seeing her precious Bey burst before her eyes.
"Prime Apocalypse with a Burst Finish!! With a final score of 2-0, Aria is the winner!" The referee declared.
"Aria has just gotten her third point making her one step closing to making it to the Finals!" The crowd cheered as Adagio stands up from the stands and heads off to face off with Phoebe.
Before she can leave however Sonata stops her. "Adagio! Good luck out there! I just know you can beat Phoebe! If Aria could do it then so can you! Don't forget about our promise, we're going to battle in the Finals with each other!" Sonata smiled.
"Don't worry, Sonata." Adagio said with a smile. "I'll be sure to win against Phoebe no matter what!"
Adagio and Phoebe arrive at the stadium. Phoebe and Adagio both smile at each other and show off their Beys to each other.
"Hope your ready Adagio, because I plan on winning. My losing streak has got to end somewhere and sadly for you it's going to end here." Phoebe said as she showed off her Harmony Pegasus.
Adagio looked at Phoebe with a smirk. "Sorry, Phoebe. But your losing streak is going to continue. I'm going to win and then take a step closing to make it to the Finals. I promised someone I would battle them in the Finals and I plan on making it happen."
Phoebe smiled. "We'll see about that!"
Both girls get into position. "Bladers! Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled. With that both Pegasus and Achilles take to the stadium.
Achilles was in Stamina Mode without the Unison Sword equipped to it. Pegasus and Achilles collide in the center and start their head-to-head collision with one another. Both then let go of their collision and climb onto the upper deck and speed up.
"Now Pegasus! Harmonic Thunder!" Phoebe yelled.
"Get it there with Unison Breaker!" Adagio yelled.
Both Beys slam into each other and both go flying. Both Bey's land on the ground at almost the exact same time. Both Bladers look at the ref and wait for the call.
"Harmony Pegasus with a Ring Out Finish! One point is rewarded to Phoebe, making the score 1-0." The referee said.
The crowd cheers while both Phoebe and Adagio pick up their Beys. Adagio changes Achilles into Attack Mode and she equipped the Unison Sword increasing its speed and power.
Phoebe said as she smiled at Adagio. "This battle will be our last!"
Adagio smiled back. "I could say the same! Me and Achilles are going to burst Pegasus!"
The two got into position. "Bladers! Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both Beys take to the stadium with powerful launches. Pegasus quickly and swiftly takes the center while Achilles pounces at it with a volley of agile attacks. Achilles kept pummeling Pegasus with a bunch of strikes that the yellow wings appeared. Adagio smiles and Achilles rises to the upper deck.
Adagio smirked. "Now take Pegasus out with Unison Sword!"
"Reverse Heal!" Phoebe countered.
Achilles hits Pegasus sending it flying. Pegasus's wings revert back in but when it hits the walls to the upper deck, the wings immediately come back out again! Phoebe gasp in surprise while Adagio smiles, Adagio had come up with a loophole to beat the wings! Achilles was now on Pegasus's tail about to strike it down, but Phoebe wasn't going to let that happen.
Phoebe smirked. "Knock it out of here with Feather Storm!"
Pegasus creates a storm and the storm carries Achilles lifting it off the ground. Achilles goes flying and hits the wall of the stadium, it then bounces off the wall and into the air right above Pegasus!
Adagio smiles brightly. "Now Achilles! Ride the storm with Unison Breaker!"
Achilles slashes through the storm and crashes into Pegasus. Pegasus and Achilles then both go sent flying! Pegasus burst in midair while Achilles hits the ground. Phoebe gasps as Adagio smiles as she grabs her Bey.
"Union Achilles with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-1, Adagio wins!" The referee declared.
"Adagio wins her match making her a step closer to making it to the Semi-Finals!" The crowd cheered as Adagio and Phoebe shake hands and leave the stadium.
Adagio, Aria, and Sonata were all just one point away from moving on to the Semi-Finals. With Gabby being the only one to move on in Group A, there was only one more spot in Group A left, while Group B still had two free spots. Things seemed to finally be changing for the better and it looked like all the Dazzlings could be moving on to the Semi-Finals. However, not all good things last for long.
Bael's and Leon's First Battle was currently underway. Balkesh was currently taking all of Luinor's attacks like they were nothing. Balkesh's defense was so tough that not even the fast-heavy attacker Luinor couldn't even deal damage to it.
"Luinor's assault on Balkesh isn't stopping, but no matter how hard he pushes Luinor's just ain't doing any good. Luinor is now starting to slow down is this the end of Luinor?" The announcer announced.
Luinor used every ounce of energy it had left and attacked Balkesh but no matter, Balkesh just didn't budge. Luinor then ran out of energy and grinned to a halt.
"Dusk Balkesh with a Survivor Finish! With a score of 1-0, Bael is in the lead!" The referee said.
The crowd cheers for Bael as he and Leon pick up their Beys. Leon looks at Luinor and then he smiles. He had a plan and Bael had no clue what was about to hit him. Bael just smiles and attaches his Bey to his launcher.
The two boys then got into position. "Bladers! Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Balkesh and Luinor take to the stadium, and Balkesh takes center stage while Luinor instantly strikes it down. Luinor deals some fierce blows to Balkesh that it actually starts doing some damage. Leon smiles while Bael starts to feel the pressure. Leon ramped up his launch power to make his attack power even stronger.
"End this match with Zone Slam!" Leon yelled.
"Not on my watch! Balkesh unleash Dusk Circle!" Bael yelled.
Luinor hits Balkesh creating Balkesh to turn into a perfect circle. Luinor's rampage begins all over again from the first battle and Luinor starts delivering a barrage of attacks on Balkesh. However, Balkesh just blocks all of them as if they were nothing.
"Send it flying, Luinor!" Leon declared.
Luinor hits Balkesh making it go out of the center and onto the upper deck. Leon smiles but then he sees Bael smiling. Bael was up to something but Leon didn't know what. Balkesh then speeds up on the upper deck and charges down toward Leon. Leon's eyes widen, that's what Bael was planning. A counterattack!
Bael smirked. "Balkesh! End this match and Luinor with Dusk Crash!"
Balkesh slams into Luinor causing it to go flying. Luinor hits the wall of the stadium, but instead of slowing down... something else happened. Luinor bounces off the wall and full-on charges toward Balkesh. Bael gasp in shock as Luinor lit up.
Leon smirked. "Tear it into pieces, Luinor! Zone Hammer!"
Luinor comes in and deals the final blow to Balkesh. A huge explosion happens to cause everyone to cover their eyes. Balkesh gets thrown up in the air and burst. The blow was so hard it made Bael lose his balance and fall to the ground.
"Zone Luinor with a Burst Finish! Final scoring of 2-1, Leon is your winner!" The referee declared.
The crowd cheers for Leon as he picks up his Bey with a smile. Bael gets back up and grabs his Bey. He was ashamed of losing but he tried his best. Up in the stands, the Dazzlings were confused as to the events that just occurred.
"Hey, Arctic. Do you mind telling us what went down in that battle?" Adagio asked looking over at Arctic.
"Luinor aligned with his metal components causing it to gain a surge in power. Leon let his Bey get hit on purpose so that he could unlock what he called Zone Hammer." Arctic said as he thought back to the Battle.
"Guess Leon is stronger than I thought." Adagio said as she looked down at the stadium.
"You know this means trouble for you and Aria, right?" Sonata asked as she looked over at her sisters.
"What do you mean?" Aria asked as she looked over at Sonata confused.
"And with that victory to his belt, Leon will now be joining Gabby in the Semi-Finals, what an achievement! His strength is limitless and possibly unstoppable! Now only one spot is left for both Group A and B. We're going to have to find out who will take the last spots in the fifth round." The screen shows everyone's scores so far. Leon and Gabby with a 4-0. Dean, Sonata, Aria, and Adagio with a 3-1. Valex with a 2-2. Bael and Joy with a 1-3 and Frizzle, Athena, and Phoebe with a 0-4. "The fifth round is going to be the decided match for which remaining Bladers will move on to the Semi-Finals! To keep you all in suspense we're going to announce the last match-ups right now!" With that, the screen shakes around for a while until it comes to a halt. The matches were, for Group A, Frizzle vs Athena, Valex vs Sonata, and Dean vs Gabby, while for Group B it was, Phoebe vs Joy, Adagio vs Bael, and Aria vs Leon. "And it's settled the last matches of the tournament will commence tomorrow! Be there or be squared."
Sonata looked at her opponent. "Valex? He's formidable but I can take him and show that I'm way stronger!"
"I'll break through Balkesh's defense as if it's nothing." Adagio said with a smile.
Aria saw her match against Leon and smiled. ' I'll annihilate this so-called Champion! I'll destroy Luinor!!!
Preview: The fifth and final round of the round-robin is finally here! Group A starts us off with, and everyone is bursting with energy. Dean finally gets his chance at revenge for his brother Derek, by going up against Gabby. Blinded by rage and revenge Dean gives it his all.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! A Brother's Revenge! Dean's Counterattack!

22. A Brother's Revenge! Dean's Counterattack!
The day had started off like any other for the Dazzlings until they got to the venue of the tournament. When the action started, the Dazzlings made their way to the viewing stands and watched the first match starts things off.
"Alright! Ladies and gentlemen! I hope you're just as excited as me for this match to begin! Starting things off today is the girl full of tricks, Frizzle, and her Bey Wizard Fafnir. Her opponent is a girl known as a prodigy it's Athena and her Bey Bushin Ashindra. Both Bladers have a 0-4 score, so whoever wins this will get their first point while the other will sadly get a 0-5." The announcer said.
Both Bladers get to the stadium and look at each other. Both knew just how important this battle was going to be for them. Neither said anything and both got ready for their Battle.
"Bladers! Get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both Beys take to the stadium and Fafnir and Ashindra both head to the center. Both Bladers let out a battle cry as their Beys collide in the center.
Meanwhile, Sonata was in her room talking with Arctic once again. Sonata's match against Valex wasn't going to be a walk in the park. If Sonata wanted to go to the Finals she was going to have to beat Valex. Arctic however knew Sonata could beat him just as long as she had a plan.
"Sonata. I want you to put Spryzen in Defense Mode. Valtryek has more raw power than Spryzen, and putting Spryzen in Stamina Mode would put you at the Type disadvantage. So putting Spryzen in Defense Mode would be your best decision." Arctic said.
"But I haven't mastered Defense Mode. I think it would be better if I went with Attack or Stamina, you know, modes I have mastered. I'm not saying your plan won't work but I just think it would be smart if I went with a mode I felt confident in using." Sonata said, but then she saw Arctic giving her a look.
"If you lose to Valex your chances at going to the Semi-Finals are over. You have to go with Defense mode, so please Sonata just goes with Defense Mode. If things don't turn out well then you can change back in Attack or Stamina. But you never know. Maybe your bond with Spryzen could help with mastering Defense Mode mid-battle." Arctic said with a smile.
Sonata looks down at Spryzen and Spryzen shines red. "Alright, I'll do it!"
"It's over with a Ring-Out Finish! Fafnir broke through Ashindra's defense and has led to a 2-1 victory for Frizzle!" The referee declared.
"Guess, I should be heading off now." Sonata stood up and walked out of the room.
While she was walking to the stadium she heard Arctic's voice. "Good luck Sonata! I know you can do it!"
"It's time for the Second Match for Group A. We have Sonata going up against Valex. This match could hold the fate for Sonata if she wins or loses. We're going to have to find out if Sonata's winning streak will keep up or if Valex can stop her in her tracks."
Both Bladers got into position. "Bladers! Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both Spryzen and Valtryek crash into the stadium. Sonata had listened to Arctic's advice and put Spryzen in Defense Mode. She would admit that when launching Spryzen it felt weird but it was nothing she couldn't handle. Spryzen takes the center stage while Valtryek rushes around the stadium waiting for the right time to strike.
"Now Valtryek! Start things off with a Rush Launch!" Valex yelled.
Valtryek pulls off a 360 attack on Spryzen while all Spryzen could do was take the attacks. Sonata was worried if Spryzen could handle it or not but Spryzen seemed to be holding its ground. Valtryek kept pummeling Spryzen with a volley of blows that Spryzen was starting to feel the damage.
"Spryzen is starting to wobble, will Spryzen be able to keep it up? Or will Valtryek's attacks be too hard to handle for Spryzen!?" The announcer yelled.
"Spryzen! Let's turn this around with Counter Break!" Sonata countered.
Spryzen hits Valtryek sending it flying the other way it came. Valtryek climbs the upper deck and speeds up, it then rushes down towards Spryzen.
Valex smirked. "Valtryek! Send it out of here with Wing Whip!!"
Valtryek slams into Spryzen and Spryzen goes flying into the air. Spryzen hits the floor outside of the stadium and Sonata gasp in surprise.
"Sword Valtryek with a Ring-Out Finish! The score is 1-0, and Valex is in the lead." The referee declared. The crowd cheers as Sonata picks up her Bey.
She looks down at Spryzen in worry. 'Even though Arctic told me to put you in Defense Mode I should have done what I wanted to do. That's my fault... I'm sorry Spryzen. But for now on it's nothing more than you and me.' Sonata then looked up at Valex. "Valex! Get ready cause I'm coming at you with all I got! Me and Spryzen are going to defeat you and Valtryek with a Burst Finish! Get ready with the greatest comeback of a lifetime!"
Valex smirked. "Let's see if your Bey can do as much as your mouth."
Both Bladers got into position. "Bladers! Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Valtryek and Spryzen take to the stadium and both start off attacking one another. Spryzen in Right spin Attack Mode with the Turbo Awakening was able to land some devastating blows to Valtryek. Valtryek not backing down was unleashing a barrage of strikes on Spryzen. Neither Bey was backing down and both were going at each other like two bulls.
"Valtryek! Knock Spryzen out of there with Rush Launch!!" Valex yelled.
"Spryzen! Counterattack with Turbo Upper Launch!!" Sonata yelled.
Valtryek and Spryzen clash and crash with each other. Both Beys collided and both went flying. Both Valtryek and Spryzen take to the upper deck and speed up. A small golden tint was fading off of Spryzen and Spryzen started speeding up and was heading towards Valtryek.
"Now end this thing! Turbo Spryzen Whip!!" Sonata yelled.
"Valtryek! Use Wing Whip!!" Valex countered.
Valtryek and Spryzen collide and both Beys go sent flying. Valtryek burst in the air as Spryzen hits the stadium wall and lands back into the stadium. The crowd was silent but then roared to life.
"Turbo Spryzen with a Burst finish! The score is 2-1, Sonata is the winner!!" The referee declared.
"With her victory Sonata might have just won herself away into the Semi-Finals. However, we still have one more match to get to that will decide if Sonata will make it to the Semi-Finals or not." The announcer said as Dean and Gabby arrived at the stadium. Their both silent but Dean is giving Gabby a death stare.
"You were the reason my brother had to drop out of the tournament! Your destroyed Dragon into tiny pieces and just laughed it off like it was nothing! I'm going to make you pay for what you did to him and his Bey!" Dean yelled.
"His Bey would have never been destroyed if he hadn't been so keen on battling. Your brother is to blame for his Bey's demise, and because of it, Sonata took his spot in the tournament. If he wasn't so weak his Bey wouldn't be in pieces." Gabby said calmly.
Dean growled. "How would you like it if your Bey was destroyed? If Genesis was shattered into so many pieces it could never recover? Bet you would feel like you just lost a part of yourself. I'll shatter your Bey and your confidence! You won't be able to blade without a Bey so you'll have to forfeit your spot in the Semi-Finals! How would you like all of that Gabby! "
Gabby then looks at Dean and her eye lights up. "You... beat me? Get real! It'll take a zillion years until you might be able to get to a fraction of my strength! The only Bey that will be shattered in this battle will be yours!! "
The two Bladers got into position. "Bladers! Get ready and set!!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!!" Everyone yelled.
Genesis and Devolos take to the stadium and both Bey's head toward the center. However, instead of making contact as everyone thought, Dean had a different plan in his mind.
"Go! Shining Launch!" Dean yelled.
The two Beys barely miss making contact. Devolos go past the center while Genesis happily claims the center while no worries. Gabby looks up at Dean, she didn't see any potential in Dean or his Bey.
Dean smiled. "That's it!" Devolos climbs up the upper deck and collides with the stadium wall. Devolos goes flying into the air! "Now Dual Phantom!!"
Devolos and its clone split apart, and land back in the stadium.
"Devolos waste no time going in with its clone attack!" The announcer said looking at the Battle.
The clone then starts to throw a volley of strikes at Genesis.
Gabby looks at Dean and just smiles. "I was wondering what you had up your sleeve."
'I'll have to start by dealing some heavy damage to Genesis.' Dean thought.
Gabby smirked. "Attacks like those are useless against my Genesis!!"
The clone then hits Genesis making the middle turn bright red. Genesis is sent out of the center and in a collision course with Devolos.
The announcer smiled. "And here we go! Genesis has lured Devolos into attacking range."
But the weird thing is that Devolos and Genesis evade each other once again.
"Alright! Dean dodged the attack!" Sonata said smiling.
"Think again." Aria said as she looked at the Battle.
"Genesis didn't go in for the attack on purpose. But why though?" Adagio asked as she looked at the Battle.
Dean smiles, "I know what its weakness is." Genesis comes towards Devolos with its sword out to strike. "Seize your moment and aim for it! Now Devolos!" Devolos speeds up and heads toward its clone. "Now! Clone Cannon!" The clone goes flying and makes contact with Genesis's sword. "Shatter that sword!" The clone continues to make contact with Genesis while Devolos came in with a final blow! "I'm risking everything for this moment! Clone Impact!"
The sound of something breaking could be heard from around the room. Everyone looks to see not a Bey to be broken but Devolos's clone being split in half from the attack.
"Pop goes the Bey! Devolos clone is out of commission! Royal Genesis remains untouched!" The announcer yelled.
Devolos still continues to race around the stadium while Genesis started to light up.
Dean growls, "It can't be!"
"That's right." Dean looks up to see Gabby talking. "What your feeble mind believed to be our weakness was actually Royal Genesis's greatest weapon, Genesis!" Genesis goes into Superior-Flux and uses the slope of the stadium to speed up and head toward Devolos. "And now the darkness shall engulf the light! Hybrid Force!! "
Genesis speeds up even more and crashes into Devolos. Devolos and Genesis have a head-on collision. Just then an explosion happened and the sound of something breaking could be heard.
In the Beyblade Avatar world, Genesis had just cut a hole through Devolos heart. In real life, Devolos had been shattered into tiny fragments that could never be repaired. The Dazzlings gasp as Dean falls to his knees in pain from his Bey breaking.
"Royal Genesis with a Burst Finish! That's a score of 2-0! Gabby is the winner of the match!" The referee declared.
The crowd slowly cheers for Gabby. They were still surprised about Gabby breaking Dean's Bey in front of thousands of people.
"With Gabby winning the match and Dean losing, Sonata has now officially proven herself as the other person in Group A to take a spot in the Semi-Finals!! Now there is only one spot left in Group B, who will take it?" The announcer spoke.
Even though the crowd was cheering for Sonata to move onto the Semis, Sonata didn't feel happy making it. Seeing Dean sadly leave the stadium with a broken Bey made her sad. And it was all Gabby's fault that Dean's Bey was broken.
Sonata looked down at Spryzen. 'When we battle Gabby again we'll beat her for sure!'
Preview: Group B's, fifth-round matches begin. Phoebe and Joy go head to head, and Adagio and Bael get to duel it out. Things get real when Aria and Leon showdown in an Attack vs Attack showdown. With Apocalypse in control, the Battle is more chaotic than ever. Will Leon be able to beat the Apocalypse possessed Aria or will Apocalypse prove to be too much for even Leon's power?
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Advancing To The Semi-Finals!
23. Advancing To The Finals!
The first round of Group B had already begun. Phoebe and Joy were going head-to-head with one another. Pegasus had token the center while Joker unleashed a barrage of strikes on it.
"Take it out, Fate's Judgement!" Joy yelled.
"Take it for a spin, Feather Storm!" Phoebe yelled.
Pegasus's storm is able to pick up Joker and Joker goes flying into the air. Joker then burst into the air making Phoebe the winner! Phoebe smiles as Joy gasped.
"Harmony Pegasus with a Burst Finish! With a score of 2-0, Phoebe is the winner!" The referee declared.
The crowd cheers while Phoebe jumps up and down. She had finally won her match but sadly her last match in the tournament.
"With that Battle out of the way, it's time for the Second Battle to get underway! Bael's defense going up against Adagio's leadership! Who's going to win? You're going to have to find out!" The announcer said.
Bael and Adagio arrive at the stadium. Adagio had changed Achilles into Stamina Mode with the Union Sword attached to it. She was going in with power and agility to get the better of Balkesh.
The two got into position as the referee made the call. "Bladers! Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both Beys take to the stadium, Balkesh goes for the center while Achilles climbs the upper deck to pick up speed. Achilles then jump off the upper deck and heads towards Balkesh to make first contact.
"Get in there with a Unison Launch!" Adagio yelled.
Achilles starts delivering a volley of blows at Balkesh. After a while, Balkesh turns into a perfect circle and starts parrying all of Achilles' attacks. Achilles doesn't let up and Achilles continues to strike Balkesh.
'Gotta go for the center. That's where Balkesh's weakness is at. I just need to wait for the right moment.' Adagio thought.
"Dusk Circle!" Bael yelled.
Achilles continues to slam into Balkesh but no matter how hard it hit Balkesh it didn't work. Adagio growls while Bael smiles seeing Adagio struggle to take him down.
Bael smiled. "Just try to get past my defense! Nothing can break through Balkesh's defense!"
Adagio smiled. "We'll see about that! Me and Achilles can do anything! Breaking through some pesky defense will be easy! Go forth, Achilles!"
Achilles speeds up and climbs up to the upper deck. Achilles then hit the upper deck wall and jumps off the upper deck. Balkesh was going in to attack Achilles while Achilles was still in the air.
"Take it out of here!" Bael yelled.
Adagio smirked and yelled. "Show them a real attack with Unison Sword!"
Balkesh and Achilles collide with a flurry. Achilles' sword however is able to slice through Balkesh's defense and burst Balkesh. Achilles lands back in the stadium and races around.
"Union Achilles with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Adagio is the winner!!" The referee declared.
The crowd cheers while Adagio and Bael pick up their Beys. Adagio smiles, now all she had to do was hope that Aria wouldn't win against Leon making her chances to the Semi-Finals guaranteed.
"Now that Adagio had won her match she must now hope that Aria can't beat Leon. Will the Dragon Tamer take the win or will the Queen of Darkness win? You're going to have to find out!" The announcer said.
Aria and Leon arrive at the stadium. Both Bladers look at each other, both wanted to win no matter what. Both were Attack Types but one was a Left spinning while the other was a Right spinning Bey. This might be the last Battle for the tournament but both Bladers were going to make it their best Battle yet!
'The last time I battled Leon was in our three-on-one at his house. He knocked Apocalypse out of the ring with one strike, but I've grown as a Blader since then. I'm stronger now and now I'll annihilate him with Apocalypse with brute force!' Aria thought.
Both Bladers got into position. "Bladers! Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both Beys take to the stadium Luinor and Apocalypse rushes around the stadium at light speeds. Luinor and Apocalypse rush towards the center and Luinor sends Apocalypse flying with its attack. Apocalypse lands on the upper deck and races down, it strikes Luinor, sending Luinor flying. Luinor comes back and Luinor and Apocalypse start sending attacks at one another.
"Apocalypse and Luinor exchange blows with one another. Neither seems to be backing down from their attacks! But whose attacks are stronger?! Will Luinor win or will Apocalypse win?" The announcer announced.
"Take it out with Zone Slam!!" Leon yelled.
Luinor hits Apocalypse sending them both flying across the stadium. Luinor aligns making it able to unleash Zone Hammer while the middle of Apocalypse turns red.
"Use Prime Reboot!!" Aria yelled.
Apocalypse rushes off the upper deck and charges around waiting for Luinor to strike. Luinor speeds up on the upper deck and jumps off the upper deck heading for an upper attack on Apocalypse!
Leon smirked. "End this thing with Zone Hammer, Luinor! Drive out the obstruction!"
Aria fired up with aura. "Not on my watch! End this thing with Omega Blast! Annihilate them! Destroy Luinor into tiny pieces!"
Luinor and Apocalypse collide with one another. Luinor's metal against Apocalypse sword! Neither Bey was backing down as both kept colliding with each other. Neither Blader wanted to lose so both let out a battle cry.
"Who's going to win?" Sonata asked looking at the Battle.
"We're going to find out soon enough." Adagio said as she looked at the Battle.
Winds were picking up and explosions were going off due to this fierce battle! Everyone looked in anticipation of who was going to win the match. Just then the sound of something getting pushed in is heard and then a giant explosion happens. Leon and Aria look in surprise and wait to see what had happened. The explosions die and Apocalypse burst to the pressure of Luinor! The crowd, and even Aria and Leon look in surprise at what just happened.
"Z-Zone Luinor with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Leon is the winner!" The referee declared.
"With Leon winning the match Adagio has secured the last spot in Group B! It's with a heavy heart that everyone else in the tournament has been eliminated!" The screen shows Athena, Frizzle, Valex, Dean, Joy, Bael, Phoebe, and Aria's faces. Their faces then turn black showing that they were eliminated. The only four faces left standing are Gabby, Adagio, Leon, and Sonata.
Aria was on her knees with Apocalypse in pieces. She looked down and she could do the only thing she could do... cry. Tears fell out of Aria's eyes and hit the ground, her chances at making it to the Semi-Finals were over. Even with Apocalypse in control she still couldn't beat Leon.
"Our final four have finally been decided! Gabby! Adagio! Leon! Sonata! It's time for the moment you all have been waiting for! The Semi-Final match-ups! Who will battle who in a face-off in the Semi-Finals? Well, let's find out!" The four faces spin around for a while and then they stop. The faces turn over and surprise everyone! "The matches have been decided! In the First Round, Adagio and Leon will go head-to-head! And in the Second Round, Gabby and Sonata will battle it out! I hope you're all as excited as me cause these matches are going to be red hot with drama! Who will move on and make it to the Finals? We're all just going to have to find out... tomorrow!"
The Dazzlings walk out of the venue of the tournament. Adagio and Sonata were excited to make it to the Semi-Finals why Aria had her head down in shame.
"Adagio, Sonata. I'm very proud of you two to make it to the Semi-Finals. I think we should all go out and get something to eat then we can get some ice cream! Would you guys like that?" Sunset asked as she looked at Adagio and Sonata.
"Yeah!" The two girls yelled.
"Adagio, don't you dare lose to Leon. Don't forget our promise to both make it to the Finals together!" Sonata said as she looked over at Adagio.
"And you better not lose to Gabby, Sonata." Adagio said with a smile.
Sunset looks at Adagio and Sonata and smiled. She then looked back at Aria and frowned. She wasn't upset with Aria not making it, she just didn't know how to make Aria feel better. Just then Aria stopped making Sunset stop in the process. Adagio and Sonata bump into their mom and look at her to see her looking at Aria. They both look back and look at Aria, who was looking down at the ground.
"Aria. Is everything alright?" Sunset asked.
Aria then looked up at everyone with a serious face. "Adagio... Sonata... do your best in the Semi-Finals. I may no longer be in the tournament but that doesn't mean I can't cheer you two on! Adagio, get revenge on Leon for me, and Sonata, take down Gabby for all of us. Then you two can have the best Battle in the Finals with one another!"
Adagio, Sonata, and Sunset all smile at Aria. The round-robin was over but now the Semi-Finals were about to begin! Things were about to get extreme but just how extreme were things going to get?
Preview: The first match of the Semi-Finals starts with Adagio going up against Leon. Leon's power seems to be overwhelming for Adagio but then Adagio has a one-on-one with Achilles. Adagio and Achilles put their bond to the test with Leon and Luinor!
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! The Strongest Sword And Shield!
24. The Strongest Sword And Shield!
The Dazzlings arrived at the tournament arena. Adagio and Sonata walked over to the stadium but when they got there Gabby and Leon were already there. The four looked at each other and it was as though sparks were already flying before the matches had even begun.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! It's time for the moment we've been waiting for. It's time for the Semi-Finals to begin. Our final four! Gabby! Leon! Adagio! And Sonata! This four will battle it out to see which ones will move on to the Finals!" The announcer said.
"You're going down, Adagio!" Leon said pointing at Adagio.
"Not if me and Achilles have anything to say about it." Adagio said as she showed off Achilles.
"Gabby! Me and Spryzen have gotten stronger since our last battle! We're going to beat you this time." Sonata said showing off Spryzen to Gabby. Gabby just looks at Sonata and then walks away not caring.
"Let's get our first match underway! Adagio the Leader going up against Leon the Dragon Tamer! The Semi-Finals will be a first to two points while the Finals are a first to three points!" The announcer declared.
Sonata follows Gabby and leaves the stadium while Adagio and Leon get ready for battle.
'I can't beat him in a battle of attack, so I'll have to take him on in a battle of Stamina.' Adagio puts Achilles in Defense Mode without the Unison Sword equipped. She was going at Leon with all she had, Adagio was going to make it to the Finals no matter what.
Adagio and Leon get into position. "Bladers! Get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Achilles and Luinor crash onto the stadium floors. Achilles took the center while Luinor climbed onto the upper deck. Luinor then gains speed and races off the upper deck to collide with Achilles.
"Now Zone Slam!" Leon yelled.
"Defend it with, Unison Defense!" Adagio yelled.
Luinor then starts pummeling Achilles with a volley of blows. Albeit, Achilles parried every one of Luinor's attacks. Luinor then uses the slope and collides with Achilles sending both Beys flying. Luinor and Achilles both land on the upper deck and both were charging up for a head-on collision with each other.
Adagio smirked. "Unison Breaker!"
Achilles and Luinor slam into each other. Achilles falls back to the lower deck and takes the center, while Luinor crashes into the upper deck walls. Luinor aligns and races off the upper deck.
Now it was Leon's turn to smirk. "Now Luinor! Zone Hammer!"
"Parry it with Unison Shield!" Adagio countered.
Luinor and Achilles clash with one another, however, Luinor gets the better of Achilles and sends it flying out of the ring.
"Zone Luinor with a Ring Out Finish! The score is 1-0, Leon takes the lead!" The referee declared.
The crowd cheers as Adagio and Leon pick up their Beys. Adagio looks at Leon, he was oozing with power and it made Adagio worry. She was already done a point, and she couldn't afford to lose another. She was going to have to come up with something and fast.
"Achilles. What are we going to do?" Adagio asked as she looked down at Achilles.
Achilles brights up and Adagio is brought into a realm with just her and Achilles.
"Achilles... is that you?" Adagio asked.
"Yes, it is. I've always been here." Achilles said.
Adagio then looked at Achilles seriously. "Achilles, what are we going to do? Leon is so strong and we're already done a point. I'm doing my best but even that might not be enough to take down someone like Leon and Luinor."
"I am Achilles. I have a sword and shield. In order to win against a Bey like Luinor you must use my Sword and Shield during this battle. You can't just beat Luinor with my Shield alone. Can you do that?" Achilles asked as he looked at Adagio.
Adagio looked at Achilles. "Your Sword and Shield? Yeah! I'll show everyone the greatest Sword and Shield ever!"
Achilles nodded. "Good."
Adagio is then brought back, she then adjusts Achilles. Achilles is now in Stamina Mode with the Unison Sword equipped to it. Adagio had a plan that was flawless.
Leon looks at Adagio and then he smiles. 'I'll take her down and show her who's the better Blader!'
The two then get into position. "Bladers! Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both Beys take to the stadium. Once again Achilles takes the center while Luinor races around the stadium and starts attacking Achilles.
"The same thing is happening from round one. Will Leon take this battle just like the last one or will Adagio turn things around? It's Luinor's heavy attacks going up against Achilles' Sword and Shield! Who will win and who will lose?" The announcer yelled.
Luinor continues to strike down on Achilles, while Achilles continues to defend against its attacks. Leon and Adagio both smiled as they knew the end was near. Luinor uses the slope to speed up and heads toward Achilles.
"Now Zone Slam!" Leon yelled.
Luinor and Achilles collide with each other. Both Beys go flying onto the upper deck and then the same thing as last time. Achilles and Luinor go in for a head-to-head collision in the upper deck and collide with a clash! Achilles goes flying to the lower deck and takes the center while Luinor hits the upper deck wall and aligns. Leon smiles while Adagio looks in surprise.
Leon smirked. "It's all over, Adagio! Now Luinor, Zone Hammer!!"
"Quickly! Unison Shield!" Adagio countered.
Luinor comes racing down and collides with Achilles. Luinor breaks through Achilles' defense and sends Achilles flying high into the skies. Leon smiles while Adagio looks in shock. She then smiles and Leon notices. What Leon didn't know was that he just fell for Adagio's plan all along.
Adagio smirked as she got fired up with aura. "Now Achilles! Unison Sword!"
Achilles comes flying down and falls onto Luinor! Luinor goes flying into the air and bursts while Achilles races around the stadium. The crowd is silent but then they cheer for Adagio. Leon gasps as Adagio smiles brightly.
"Union Achilles with a Burst Finish! The score is 2-1, Adagio is the winner!" The referee declared.
"After an amazing comeback victory, Adagio has taken out Leon and will be moving on to the Finals! Where she will either battle Sonata or Gabby in the Finals! Now it's time for the 2nd match in the Semi-Finals to begin! Sonata and Gabby please arrive at the stadium!" The announcer said.
Up in the stands Aria, Sunset, and Sonata were celebrating Adagio's victory.
"So Adagio was actually able to take down Leon for me. Guess she's the better Blader between the two of us. But one day I'll take down her and Leon down, and then I'll be moving onto the Semi-Finals." Aria said hopefully for the future.
Sunset nodded as she looked down at Sonata and Aria. "I must agree, Adagio is an amazing blader. But all three of you are amazing in my eyes. All of you have potential and I know one day all three of you will make it far one day."
Aria and Sonata nodded their heads as Sonata then stood up. "Guess it's my turn. I'll take down Gabby and then I will have kept my promise to Adagio!"
"Good luck Sonata!" Sunset and Aria both said.
Sonata was making her way to the stadium when she ran into Adagio. Adagio was walking back and heading to watch in the viewing stands to go watch Sonata's Battle.
Adagio noticed Sonata and smiled. "I told you I would beat Leon and Luinor. Now it's your turn Sonata. I know you can take down Gabby and Genesis, and then I'll be waiting for you in the Finals with Achilles!"
Sonata smiled back. "I'll take down Genesis and Gabby for sure! Then I'll take you on and beat you and Achilles with Spryzen on my side." Sonata and Adagio then high-five and then go their ways.
Gabby and Sonata arrive at the stadium, Sonata smiles while Gabby just looks at Sonata. Just then Gabby looks up at Sonata and Sonata could tell something wasn't right.
"Sonata during this battle... your precious Bey will be destroyed! Turbo Spryzen will meet its fate!"
Gabby then darkly smiles while an aura surrounded her. Genesis then appears behind her, as Sonata takes a step back in fear. This was going to be her hardest Battle yet. Sonata then looks down at Spryzen and smiles.
"Sorry Gabby, but I made a promise and I intend on keeping it! The only one who is going to win is me and Spryzen! Spryzen ain't going nowhere anytime soon!" Spryzen then appears behind Sonata and an aura surrounds Sonata.
This was going to be one fiery hot Battle. But the question on everyone's mind was; who was going to win and move on to the Finals with Adagio?
Preview: The Second Round of the Semi-Finals is about to begin. Gabby and Sonata go head to head to see who will take the last spot in the Finals and Battle Adagio. While the Battle enters the climax, Gabby unleashes a new move that'll surprise everyone. Will Sonata be able to overcome Gabby and Genesis or will her run in the tournament be over? Find out.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Enter The Final Battle!
25. Enter The Final Battle!
"Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! The Second Round of the Semi-Finals is about to begin! It's the dark horse Sonata going up against the solitary Gabby! Who will win and move to the Finals where they will battle Adagio? We're just going to have to find out!" The announcer yelled.
Gabby and Sonata both place their Beys on their launches. They both look at each other with a fire burning in their eyes. They both wanted to go to the Finals and Battle Adagio but only one was going to make it.
The two girls got into position and waited for the call. "Bladers! Get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both Beys launch with a flurry. Genesis takes the center while Spryzen... was nowhere to be seen. It wasn't on the lower deck and it wasn't on the upper deck, it was as if Spryzen totally vanished. Gabby looks up at Sonata and she was smiling.
"Hey! Where's Spryzen!" Gabby yelled she was confused as to where Spryzen was.
Sonata simply looks at Gabby with a smile. "What comes up must come down! Now Spryzen! Hit it with a Spryzen Dive!"
Gabby looks up to see Spryzen up in the air and was shocked. Sonata had launched Spryzen up in the air to do a surprise attack on Gabby. Not having any time to defend against the attack, Spryzen hits Genesis causing both Beys to go flying. Genesis and Spryzen both land on the upper deck and speed up toward each other.
"Take them out with a Turbo Upper Launch!" Sonata yelled.
"Now Royal Scream!" Gabby yelled.
Genesis and Spryzen collide in the center and both Beys go flying. Both Beys get knocked out of the ring and hit the ground.
"Who took it?" Aria asked out loud as she looked down at the stadium.
The crowd is silent, as Gabby and Sonata both look at the referee. The referee then makes the call.
"Royal Genesis with a Ring-Out Finish. That's one point rewarded to Gabby, the score is now 1-0!"
The crowd cheers as the two Bladers pick up their Beys. Gabby picks up Genesis and then looks back at Sonata. Sonata smiles at Spryzen and then looks at Gabby.
Sonata smiled as she looked at Gabby. "See Gabby! This is the bond between me and Spryzen! We may not have been able to take the First Battle but the Second Battle win be ours!"
Gabby smirked at Sonata's confidence. "I will admit that was a nice trick of yours. However, that won't be enough to beat me and Genesis! Now heed my warning Sonata, you and Spryzen will feel Genesis's wrath in this Battle, leading to your inevitable destruction!!"
Sonata just looks at Gabby and smiles. She puts Spryzen in Left spinning Stamina Mode. She was going to come at Gabby and Genesis with all she had. Sonata looks down at Spryzen and smiles, 'We're going to win, we're coming at her with all we got. And even if this is our last Battle, let's make it our best Battle yet!' Aura surrounds Sonata and Gabby as they both looked at each other. They both wanted to win but only one can remain!
They took their positions and waited for the call. "Bladers! Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Gabby and Sonata launch their Beys into the stadium. Spryzen unlocked Turbo Awakening and took off once hitting the stadium. Genesis took the center while Spryzen hit with a volley of strikes. Spryzen was hitting Genesis left and right not letting it get a second to recover. Spryzen had to pressure Genesis right from the beginning if Sonata wanted to win this battle.
"Now hit it with a Counter Break!" Sonata yelled.
Spryzen hits Genesis sending it flying up to the upper deck. Genesis lands on the upper deck and speeds up.
"Use a combo attack of Hybrid Force and Royal Scream!" Gabby yelled.
Genesis hits Spryzen and Spryzen goes flying! Adagio and Aria gasp as Spryzen goes flying it looked like it was going to be another Ring-Out Finish making this match extinct, but Sonata had other things planned.
Sonata smiled. "Now Spryzen! Change into Attack mode!!"
Gabby gritted her teeth. "Not on my watch! Take them down before it can land!"
Genesis comes charging in to take down Spryzen as Spryzen came flying down like a rocket. Spryzen comes flying down and its tip changes from Stamina to Defense then to Attack. Spryzen jumps over Genesis and speeds up due to it being on the upper deck surprising the audience including Adagio and Aria. Spryzen and Genesis then come flying down to the lower deck. Gabby's eyes widen as she sees Spryzen racing around the stadium at a high speed.
A small tint of gold can be seen trailing behind Spryzen, Gabby sees this and looks up at Sonata. Sonata is smiling and looking at Gabby.
Sonata smiled as she looks up at Gabby. "I told you! I'm going to win this thing and move on to the Finals with Adagio. Heed my warning Gabby, you and Genesis are going to suffer a Burst Finish!!"
Something in Gabby's chest tights up. Gabby lets out a battle cry in the air. Genesis then instantly goes into Superior-Flux and charges toward Spryzen!
"It's time for judgment to come! You and Spryzen will meet the same fate as Dean and Derek's Beys!!"
Sonata growled, she refused to lose to Gabby. "No, I won't! The only fate will be your loss! Now Turbo Spryzen Whip!!"
Genesis and Spryzen collide in the center. They were stuck in a head-to-head collision with each other. Genesis then slowly starts to push Spryzen back.
Gabby's eyes glowed as she started losing control. "I need more... I NEED MORE!!!"
Genesis pushes Spryzen back onto the upper deck and made Spryzen start to slam into the stadium walls.
"Hang in there, Spryzen!" Sonata yelled, now she was starting to get scared.
"SHATTER!! ROYAL ECLIPSE!!"
A huge explosion occurs and both Beys go flying. A small crack appeared on Spryzen and then it got bigger until... Spryzen was completely destroyed! Everyone, including Adagio and Aria, look in horror at the destruction.
Gabby smiles as she looked down at Sonata. "I conquered a Dazzling!!"
Sonata falls to her knees and picks up what's left of Spryzen. She looks up to see Gabby staring down at her.
Gabby simply smiled as she looked down at Sonata. "My victory... now Sonata." Gabby then crossed her arms. "Let's hear you cry!"
A small tear started to appear in Sonata's eyes she tried to hold them in but couldn't. The whole room could hear Sonata cry her heart out for her broken Bey. Everyone in the audience felt sympathy for Sonata including their friends.
"Royal Genesis with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 3-0, Gabby is the winner!!" The referee declared.
"It's over! Our final two have been decided! The one moving to the Finals to face off against Adagio will be Gabby! These two will battle it out in the Finals and prove once and for all who is the strongest!!" The announcer yelled.
Gabby shows off Genesis to Adagio, "Adagio you're next! You're looking at your new Champion!!"
Adagio stands up and shows off Achilles. "You're going to pay for what you did to Sonata! Me and Achilles will take you and Genesis down! And then I'll be the Champion!!"
Gabby simply laughs it off and walks away. Adagio and Aria run down and see how Sonata's doing. She was distraught, the normal Sonata they knew was gone. Just then Arctic walked in and put his hand on Sonata's shoulder.
"Spryzen isn't gone. Once Adagio's match with Gabby is over we'll revive Spryzen! Alright?" Arctic asked looking at Sonata.
Sonata just nodded her head, she was still upset about losing Spryzen. She had already tried talking to Spryzen but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't hear Spryzen's voice.
Adagio looks down at Sonata and then at her Bey. She had to get revenge and beat Gabby. For her and Sonata's sake!
Preview: It's finally here, the Finals! Adagio and Gabby give it their all right from the start! Things seem to be playing into Gabby's hand but then Adagio and Achilles unleash a new power nobody saw coming.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Finals: Adagio vs Gabby!
26. Finals: Adagio vs Gabby!
"Spryzen... Spryzen! Where are you?" Sonata called out, she was in a black void of nothing.
Sonata was in a dark void looking around for Spryzen. She walked around for a while until she noticed Spryzen looking away. Sonata happily ran to Spryzen glad that she found Spryzen again.
Sonata runs up to Spryzen with a smile. "Spryzen! There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you! Come on, let's have a battle with someone!" Spryzen stays quiet, it didn't even turn its head to notice Sonata. Soon enough, Spryzen started to fade away. Sonata was surprised. "Spryzen? Spryzen! Come back! You said we were going to be the strongest team ever! Please come back!!"
Sonata woke up in a cold sweat. When she woke up she noticed she was... in the air. She looked and noticed she was actually being carried by Sunset. Why was she being carried? She had no clue.
Sunset turned her head and noticed Sonata had woken up. "Have a good sleep Sonata? You've been asleep so long I thought you were going to sleep through Adagio's match." Sunset said. She places Sonata back on the ground. Sonata looks around and noticed she was right in front of the tournament arena, and they were currently outside. Sonata also noticed Aria and Adagio were nowhere to be seen.
"Where is everyone?" Sonata asked her mom.
Sunset looked down at Sonata and smiled. "Aria and Adagio went to go train before the match. As for my friends, I told them to go inside and wait for me."
Sonata looked at her mom confused. "Why are we outside exactly? Shouldn't we go in to see the match?"
Sunset smiled. "We're waiting for some certain individuals to arrive."
Sonata looked at Sunset confused. Who were the "certain individuals" they were waiting for? Sonata looks around for a while until her eye catches something... whether some people. Sonata smiles and starts to run in their direction.
"Auntie Celestia! Auntie Luna!" Sonata yelled running up to them.
Celestia picks up Sonata and smiles. "Well hello to you Sonata. We shall how well you did, making it to the Semi-Finals is amazing. Don't worry about Spryzen being broken because, with the help of your family, you'll just make a better Spryzen." Celestia said making Sonata feel better.
Sonata smiled at Celestia. "Yeah! I'll rebirth Spryzen and then I'll be just as strong as Adagio!"
"Indeed, Adagio is a force to be wrecking with. But then again at the same time, it seems as though a sinister darkness has awakened inside of Aria." Luna said thinking about Aria.
Sunset looked over at Luna and Celestia. "Celestia, Luna, it's nice to see you after all this time. And I hate to rush you guys, but if we want to make it in time to Adagio's match we better get going."
Sonata smiled. "Yeah! Come on Auntie, let's go! Follow me!"
Celestia smiled at Sonata's behavior. Even after her Bey was destroyed she was happy as ever. "Alright, take your time. We don't you falling now do we?"
Celestia, Luna, Sunset, and Sonata take a seat next to Sunset's friends and Aria. Aria looks up to see Celestia and Luna, she gets up and hugs them.
Celestia hugs Aria back with a smile on her face. "It's been a long time Aria. You've grown so much."
"I've not only grown in height but in strength!" Aria said.
Sonata then shushed Aria. "Aria! Be quiet, their about to start and I wanna see Dagi beat Gabby!"
"Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! After a long time, we finally have our last two contestants! In the blue corner, we got the girl that has destroyed Devolos and Spryzen. Gabby, and her Bey Royal Genesis! Facing her in the red corner is the natural-born leader, Adagio, and her Bey Union Achilles! For the Finals, the first Blader to three points will be the winner and be crowned the Champion!!" The announcer yelled.
Gabby and Adagio make it to the stadium and set up their Beys. Adagio had put Achilles in Defense Mode without the Union Sword equipped. It was going to be a Defense vs Defense battle for the First Round.
"Adagio, you will suffer the same fate your dear sister felt. Say goodbye to Achilles because this will its last battle ever!!" Gabby said.
"Achilles ain't going nowhere, not as long as I'm here. The only one that's going down is you and Genesis!" Adagio said.
Both Bladers look at one another. Each had a fire burning inside of them, both wanted to win. But there could only be one and that was going to either one of them.
"Bladers! Get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!!" Everyone yelled.
Genesis and Achilles take to the stadium. They both charge toward the center and fight for center stage. Neither wanted to let it go and they came to a standstill. Their head-on collision wasn't letting up any time soon until Adagio came up with a plan!
"Hit it with a Unison Breaker!" Adagio yelled.
Achilles hits Genesis sending it flying up to the upper deck. Achilles follows it as it climbs onto the upper deck to finish the job. Both Beys speed up, Genesis rushes off the upper deck and onto the lower deck while Achilles stayed on the upper deck and hit the wall. Hitting the wall caused Achilles to go flying into the air. Achilles started to fall down raining from above Genesis.
Adagio smirked. "Now Achilles! Unison Dive!"
"Royal Scream!" Gabby countered.
Both Beys go flying from the attack. Genesis takes the upper deck while Achilles took the center. Achilles was a little wobbly but nonetheless, it stood tall at the center.
Adagio smiled, she had the center now. "Now Achilles, show them your defense with Unison Defense!"
Genesis flew off the upper deck and towards Achilles, Gabby smiles she had a plan that Adagio didn't know about. Genesis then goes into Superior-Flux and speeds up.
Gabby smiled."Now end this with Hybrid Force!"
Genesis speeds up making it go even faster. Due to it having momentum, Genesis was able to break Achilles' defense making Achilles go flying out of the stadium. Achilles hit the floor from below. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata gasp as Gabby smirks triumphantly.
"Royal Genesis with a Ring-Out Finish! The score is now 1-0, Gabby is in the lead!!" The referee declared.
The crowd cheers as Adagio picks up her Bey. Sonata and Aria look at Adagio in worry. She was already a point down, all Gabby needed was a Burst Finish and this battle would be done for.
Adagio picks up her Bey and starts to change it. She put Achilles in Stamina Mode without the Unison Sword equipped, not yet at least. She looks back at Gabby, she was going to win no matter what. She made a promise and she intended on keeping her promise.
"Gabby has taken the first point of this match! Will Gabby finish things right here and now or will Adagio stop her in her tracks? Gabby has yet to lose even a single point since this whole tournament began! Will she lose a point in the Finals or will she keep it up and not lose a single point this whole tournament? We're going to have to find out!" The announcer said.
Both girls got into position. "Bladers! Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!!" Everyone yelled.
Both Beys take to the stadium, Genesis takes the center while Achilles goes in for the attack.
"We're coming at you with all we got! Now Achilles, Unison Launch!" Adagio yelled. Achilles starts pummeling Genesis with a volley of strikes. No matter how hard Achilles pushed Genesis didn't budge from the center. "Take it out of the center with Unison Upper!!"
Achilles hits Genesis finally making it go out of the center. Genesis climbs on top of the upper deck while Achilles claims the center. Genesis speeds off from the upper deck and charges in to attack Achilles.
"Royal Scream!" Gabby yelled.
"Send it back with Unison Shield!!" Adagio countered.
Genesis gets the better of Achilles and Achilles goes flying into the air. Achilles tries to land back but Genesis is there keeping it from landing. Achilles was in the air and it couldn't do anything but take it. Adagio growled, Genesis wasn't making it easy for Achilles. Achilles never had time to recover so Adagio couldn't do anything but wait for the perfect moment. Genesis then hits Achilles causing it to hit the upper deck wall causing it to go flying high in the air.
Gabby then smirked as she saw Achilles. "Now's our chance! Genesis!"
Genesis goes into Superior-Flux and the Hybrid driver goes off causing it to gain a burst of speed. The boost was helping Genesis not only get speed but power. As Achilles slowly descended from the sky, Genesis was charging up for a finishing blow.
"It's over! Say your goodbye to Achilles, Adagio!!"
The free-falling Achilles was about to get hit by the fast-charging Genesis. Time seemed to stop for Adagio, she wasn't going to lose not here not ever! Suddenly, Achilles was able to stick the landing and it engaged in a head-to-head with Genesis. Achilles started to glow a small gold.
Adagio was pushed back but she held her ground. "We're going to win! No matter what you throw at us will we be the winner! Achilles is the strongest Bey here, in the world! Now, let's go, Achilles!! Unison Sword!!"
Achilles' sword lights up and makes Genesis go flying out of the stadium. Genesis flies past Gabby's face and hits the floor below. The crowd was silent but then they burst into cheers. Adagio had done it, she knocked out Genesis! Not only that but she took a point from Gabby! Gabby looked back surprised as Adagio smiled brightly.
"Union Achilles with a Ring-Out Finish! The score is tied at 1-1!!" The referee declared.
"And Adagio ties things up one a piece! Gabby has lost her first-ever point! Each Blader is a Burst Finish away from winning the whole tournament! Both Bladers are burning with passion, who will win this battle? Will lady luck shine on Gabby or Adagio, only time will tell!!" The announcer yelled.
The girls got into position and waited for the call. "Bladers! Get ready and set!
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!!" Everyone yelled.
Both Beys take to the stadium. Adagio had changed Achilles into Attack Mode with the Unison Sword equipped. Adagio was going at Gabby and Genesis with everything she had! Both Beys collide in the center, then both Beys fly away but then soon attack each other again. Both send a volley of attacks neither wanted to lose. The center of Genesis turns bright red, and both Beys go separate ways. Both Beys climb the upper deck and speed up.
'I gotta take down Genesis and Gabby right here and now! Achilles if you can hear my voice, give me your power!!' Adagio thought.
"Genesis! Take them down! Hybrid Force!!"
Genesis speeds up and goes into Superior-Flux, it was charging towards Achilles at a high speed. If the attack made contact with Achilles, Achilles would surly burst! Adagio looked at Genesis speeding towards Achilles, it was now or never.
"ACHILLES!! LET'S TAKE OUT GENESIS TOGETHER!!" Adagio yelled with all her might.
Before Genesis makes contact with Achilles, Achilles suddenly sped up and dodged the attack. Achilles then changes from its normal red color to a bright gold color! But Achilles wasn't the only one that was changing, so was Adagio! Wings appear from behind Adagio not only that but pony ears and a tail also appear on Adagio! Like a chain reaction, Sunset and her friends poined up just like Adagio just did. Everyone looks in shock at the new Achilles and Adagio. Gabby looks surprised and then she growls.
'How did someone like her unlock a power like my Superior-Flux?' Gabby questioned. "You won't beat me! You will shatter like your sister! Now Genesis! ROYAL ECLIPSE!!!!"
"We will win!! Now Achilles!! UNISON WHIP!!!!" Adagio yelled.
Both Beys collide in the center. A whirlwind and explosion happen at the exact same time, people cover their eyes, and someone went flying, all while Achilles and Genesis collided in the stadium. Both Beys push with all they got, then Achilles gets the better of Genesis slicing through it like a slice of cake. Genesis burst while Achilles raced around the stadium. Everyone looks in surprise and they cheer their hearts out. Gabby gasped as Adagio let out a battle cry of victory.
"Union Achilles with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 3-1, Adagio is the winner and your Champion!!" The referee declared.
"It's all over! Genesis has suffered a Burst Finish making Adagio the winner! Ladies and gentlemen! Your new Champion has been crowned, Adagio is our Champion!!" The announcer said.
The ceremony goes on, Adagio takes gold, Gabby takes silver, and Leon takes bronze. Adagio takes her medal and shows Achilles off to everyone. Achilles and Adagio had reverted back to their normal states, however, Adagio had questions about what had happened. Sonata and Aria too shared the same question. They were happy for Adagio but they wondered about Adagio's "powered-up mode." While the Dazzlings were talking about Adagio's victory Gabby looked from afar.
'This isn't over Dazzlings. I will get my revenge and take you all down!' With that, Gabby walked out of the arena and away from the Dazzlings.
A new mystery has just awakened. Will the Dazzlings uncover the mysteries of what happened during Adagio's match? Or will Sunset tell them something that'll only uncover for than they asked for? Find out on Dazzling Bladers!
Preview: The tournament is over but the Dazzlings have questions. After years of not telling them, Sunset must tell the Dazzlings about their dark past. How will the Dazzlings react when they find out the truth about their dark past? To help Sunset tell the Dazzlings about their past an "old" friend comes back.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! A Dazzling Discovery!
27. A Dazzling Discovery!
The Dazzlings, along with everyone else had arrived home after Gabby and Adagio's showdown. Sunset had told everyone to take a seat in the living room where they would have to "discuss" something, but about what the Dazzlings wondered? That was unknown for the time being but the Dazzlings had an idea of what it was about. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata take a seat, their mom and dad were sitting across from them. They could all tell this wasn't going to be a normal conversation as everyone had a serious expression on their face.
"Adagio, Aria, Sonata, I'm sure you're probably wondering what happened early with the events regarding Adagio's and Gabby's match." Sunset said as she looked at the three girls.
"Oh no, it's not like it's unnatural for someone to suddenly sprout wings and a tail out of seemingly nowhere." Aria said as she rolled her eyes. The sarcasm in her voice was unnoticeable.
"Really? Then if so, can I grow wings and a tail like Dagi!" Sonata said. Adagio and Aria look at their sister. Of course, out of everyone Sonata couldn't tell the sarcasm or not.
"No, it's not normal to grow wings and a tail out of nowhere. Aria was just being herself like always. And it's not like I was the only one, mom and all of her friends grew their own tails and ears as well." Adagio said as she looked at her mom and then at all of her mom's friends in the room.
"Adagio is right, and that is why everyone is here. Girls, there's something that all of us have been hiding from you." Sunset said getting the girl's attention.
The Dazzlings looked around at everyone else, they all looked sad or upset. What could they have been hiding from them?
"Well... go on. Tell us what's going on." Aria said taking the lead, she didn't want to admit it but she was nervous.
"Yeah, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. I probably just activated my new profound powers by unleashing my and Achilles' bond to the fullest." Adagio said confidently, although her shaky voice said otherwise.
"Then how would you explain why mom's friends powered up as well? They don't have Beys of their own, and plus unlike you they didn't grow wings. They only grew pony-like ears and a tail, you were the only one that grew wings." Aria asked looking at Adagio.
"We had a previous life where we were evil girls that tried to take over this world. We came from a previous world called Equestria and came to take control of this world and then get revenge on Equestria. We, however, failed and were put into hiding, then one day someone found us and saw what kind of environment we were in and gave us the chance at having another life. We all agreed and started our new lives, this life isn't our first it's actually our second." Sonata said with a big smile.
Everyone turned their head at Sonata in surprise, then were astonished by how to correct Sonata was. Sunset's jaw was literally hitting the ground while Pinkie Pie was smiling at Sonata. Sonata looked around and saw that everyone else looked surprised. She tilted her head in confusion.
"What? You all look like you saw a ghost or something. Is there something on my face?" Sonata then put her hands on her face thinking something was there.
"There's nothing on your face but... Sonata... how did you know all of that?" Sunset then began to wonder if Sonata had actually remembered everything about her past life and if so then maybe Adagio and Aria would too. Sunset looked at Tom, he was just as clueless as she was.
"Oh that? I've been taking guessing classes with Pinkie." Sonata looked at Pinkie who nodded and smiled, everyone else in the room looked at Pinkie with glares as she sheepishly took a step back. "So... was I right?" Everyone then turned their attention back to Sonata.
"Y-Yeah... Tom remind me to have a serious talk with Pinkie Pie later." Sunset said as she looked at her husband.
"I don't think that'll do you much good but whatever you say dear." Tom said as he sighed.
"Wait. Let me get this straight. Me, Aria, and Sonata have a previous life where we were actually bad guys who tried to destroy this world. Our plan failed and then we were saved by someone who gave us a second life? That sounds more like a fairy tale if you ask me. And even if it was true why are we learning about this now? Shouldn't we have learned about this month if not the year before?" Aria asked looking confused about the whole situation.
"You were too young to understand, it's too complicated for you three to understand at such a young age. In fact, I wasn't planning on telling you about your past lives until Adagio manifested these new powers of hers. But now the cat's out of the bag and I had to tell you three." Sunset said looking at her girls. She hated that she had to tell her girls about their past lives so soon but fate had other plans for her.
"Does that mean me and Ari can now grow our own set of wings along with the ears and the tail?" Sonata asked with a big smile. She too wanted to have her own pair of wings and ears and have a tail like Adagio.
Tom thought about it for a second. "If you two can get to that kind of bond with your Beys then you most likely can and will. But only time will tell."
"Is there anything else we need to know about our past lives then?" Adagio asked as she looked at her mom.
Sunset nodded her head as she sighed. "You three went by a singing group that went by the name of the Dazzlings. Adagio was the leader of the group, while Aria and Sonata were her helpers. You three act the same as you were back then, Adagio is the leader, Aria acts tough, and Sonata is... well... Sonata. You three wanted nothing more than to have people under your spell and to adore you, you three almost got away with it too but with the power of friendship you guys were dealt with."
"If we tried to take control of this world then where were all of you when we tried to take control?" Aria questioned.
Sunset looked at everyone with a broken expression they just nodded their heads. Sunset then looked back at the three Dazzlings, who she had been taking care of for so many years. "We... we were the ones that beat you. You were what looked to be high-school girls who entered the same school as us because you could sense the magic in us. We had to do what we had to... so we stopped you. None of us ever saw you again after we took you down, it was as if you had just vanished."
"Were we really that dangerous that all of you had to take us down? And then the same people that beat us took us in... even after everything we did?" Adagio said as she looked down.
Before Sunset knew it Adagio and Sonata ran up to her and hugged her for dear life. Sunset could hear multiple apologizes from both of them. She looked up to see Aria who had been quiet for most of the conversation. Aria had her face down her hair was covering her eyes and expression, so Sunset couldn't tell how Aria felt.
"Aria, are you okay? I'm sure hearing all of this must be a lot to take in." Sunset then got up and tried to hug Aria but Aria pushed Sunset off of her.
"Don't you dare touch me!" Aria yelled as she smacked her mom's arms away. "You waited for years to tell us this and now you think it's okay to tell us now?! You should have told us beforehand! Your not even our true mother!!"
"Aria! She is our mother, she may not be our birth mother but she took us in when no one else did. To me she's our mother, you should apologize!" Sonata yelled at her sister.
"Apologize? Apologize?!" Aria yelled at Sonata, scaring her and making her hide before Sunset and Adagio. "The only one who should be apologizing is our so-called mother. And if she's not going to apologize then I don't see the need to be here or follow anything she has to say or offer. I'm out of here!!"
"You're not going anywhere, you are in my hands so until you're old enough you're my responsibility, Aria!" Sunset grabbed Aria's hand and she wasn't letting go. Just then Aria slapped Sunset's hand off of hers.
Aria then turned back at her mom with a glare that could kill. "I'm not Aria! I am Apocalypse! Now leave me alone or else I'll end you!!"
Sunset stepped back in fear, as did everyone else. Once Aria was free, she ran out of the house and far away from everyone.
"Aria! Come back!" Sunset yelled at Aria.
"Security! Go out there and find my daughter this instant!!" Tom yelled.
"Let's all go separate ways and try to find Aria! Now come on everyone!" Celestia said as everyone nodded their heads.
Everyone went their separate ways, the search for Aria had begun. With Aria on the run, everyone had only one thing running through their minds. 'Be safe Aria and come back home.'
Preview: While Aria's on the run, Aaron and Gabby set their minds on making the perfect Bey, making them one step forward on their master plan. Seeing Aria on the run Gabby decides to put her new Bey to the test against Aria and Apocalypse.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! The Perfect Bey! Eclipse Genesis!
29. Lord Of Flames! Lord Spryzen!
Adagio and Sonata were currently sitting down on the couch, their mom was in the other room on the phone talking to someone. Both of them were scared out of their minds for Aria. They had not been able to find Aria no matter where they looked. It was starting to get dark which was going to make the hunt for Aria even harder. The silence in the room soon changed as Sonata soon started to cry.
"Dagi... is Aria going to be okay? They'll find Aria and bring her back home, right?" Sonata asked looking at Adagio.
Adagio turned her head to face Sonata, the tears were visible in Sonata's eyes. As much as Adagio wanted to say yes to her sister, she couldn't, she didn't know. She looked down not wanting to face Sonata. "I'm not sure Sonata, as far as we know, Aria might not even be in the same town anymore. But I'm sure with Tom's guards and police looking for her, we'll find her and they will be reunited once again."
Sonata just nodded her head hoping her sister was right. However, what Adagio wasn't going to tell her was that even she wasn't sure about her comment. Just then Sunset walked back into the room, she had an unreadable expression on her face which worried Adagio and Sonata. Sonata then ran to Sunset and hugged her.
"D-Did they find Ari yet? Is she safe? Can she come home?" Sonata asked looking up at her mom with tears in her eyes.
"That was a call from Luna, she said she found Aria. But Aria didn't want to come home just yet, so she will be staying at Luna's until she feels like she wants to come home again." Sunset said looking at the two girls.
Adagio and Sonata felt like a weight had just been lifted off of their body. They felt better knowing that Aria was safe but they also felt sad knowing that Aria wouldn't be coming back any time soon. Adagio and Sonata still remembered the events from a few hours ago, with how Aria acted she might never return. Now that made Sonata and Adagio feel sad, Sonata was already starting to miss her sister.
Just then Tom walked into the room, he had heard everything from the other room. "Well... since Aria won't be with us for a while, Sonata how about we get started on making your new Bey? I'm sure you're wanting to get back to Blading with your sisters and all of your friends." Tom said smiling when he saw Sonata's happy face.
"Yeah!" Sonata took out the broken pieces of Spryzen and looked at all of them. "Just you watch Spryzen, I'll be sure to make you even stronger than you were. You and I are going to have so many incredible Battles after your evolution."
With that Tom and Sonata got to work making a new Spryzen, a one-of-a-kind Bey that no one had ever seen before. The Bey would be a Balance Type just like its past evolution. It would also be able to change from Left to Right spin and would be able to change from every Beyblade Type imaginable. The Bey would be heavier than before which would also increase its Attack and Defense power. The Driver would have a special lock attached to it to make it tighter and harder to burst, almost like the Turbo Awakening.
'Just hang in there a little bit longer Spryzen. Before you know it you and I will be blading again side by side. I promise that you will never feel the pain you did in our last battle against Gabby. The next time we Battle her she will be the one to suffer a Burst Finish!' Sonata thought as she worked on making her new Bey.
Sonata then thought back to all the fun adventures she had of Battling with Spryzen. From going to everyone's house and Battling them, from the tournament, Battling strong people such as Frizzle, Leon, Dean, Aria, and Adagio, and then to her very last match with Gabby where she ended Turbo Spryzen's life.
Snapping out of thoughts, Sonata smiled at what was in front of her eyes. "It's finished! Introducing the new and improved Spryzen, Lord Spryzen! And its First Match will be against none other than, you Adagio!" As she showed off her new Bey to Adagio.
Adagio smiled and held out her Bey. "You're on Sonata! Me and Achilles will bring out you and Spryzen's full potential! But don't be surprised if you can't win so easily."
Both Sonata and Adagio go to the stadium and get into position. Sonata was determined to win against Adagio, she was going to do it for her new Bey, Lord Spryzen. She owed it to Spryzen, it was her fault that Spryzen was destroyed by Gabby. If only Sonata had been stronger Spryzen would have never felt that pain of being destroyed.
Adagio and Sonata then engaged in some Battles. However, things weren't going as Sonata had planned them to go. Every battle so far had ended in Adagio's victory. Sonata hated to admit it but Adagio was in another league of her own ever since she won the tournament. She had beaten Bladers like Bael, Phoebe, Joy, Aria, Leon, and even Gabby.
It was currently the Seventh Battle and Achilles and Spryzen were in a head-to-head collision. However, Achilles was able to push through Spryzen, and Spryzen was sent flying out of the stadium. Sonata was panting like a dog, getting the hang of her new Bey was harder than it looked. Sonata picked up Spryzen and looked at Spryzen.
'What are we doing wrong Spryzen? No... this is my fault, I'm still not strong enough for you. If only I was stronger then maybe we could actually win some battles. Maybe I'm not worthy of you as a Blader.' Sonata thought as she looked down.
"Where's the Sonata I know and love?" A voice said.
Sonata looked and saw her Bey shining and then she was blinded by the bright light. Sonata opened her eyes to see none other than Spryzen right in front of her looking at her.
"Spryzen... your... your back! I've missed you so much!" Sonata cried out.
"As have I. But now it seems my absence has changed you. Where's the Sonata that would roar into Battle with all of her might and push herself to get better and stronger? Didn't you promise me that you would make me the strongest Bey ever and that we would be the greatest team ever? Don't tell me you forgot about our promise to one another." Spryzen said looking at Sonata.
Sonata then looked at Spryzen. "I haven't forgotten about our promise. I'm just not sure how to keep my promise. I do want to make you the strongest Bey and become the greatest team with you I'm just unsure of how to do that. Do you have any ideas on how we can achieve that goal Spryzen?"
"Only you know that answer. The key to finding the answer is by looking deep within yourself and finding that power you once had and unleashing it once more. Once you can do that you will be able to unlock all kinds of new powers you would have never of expected." Spryzen said as it started to fade away.
Sonata then smiled and then she opened her eyes to be in front of Adagio. Sonata looked at Adagio and then at Achilles, Achilles had the sword equipped and it was in Stamina Mode. Sonata smiled and changed Spryzen to Right-spinning Attack Mode. Sonata then looked at Adagio with a fire in her eye, she was determined to win this match no matter what.
'Adagio as long as I can remember you have always been the leader, you were always the better, stronger, sister between the three of us. Between you and me, you were miles ahead of me while I was always lacking behind you and Aria. I've always wanted to be like you and one day be on the same level as you. Today, I will beat you and then finally I will have gotten to your level!' Sonata thought as she gripped her launcher tighter.
Adagio and Sonata got into position. "Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!"
Both Beys landed in the stadium and raced towards each other where they would collide with a flurry. Neither Sonata nor Adagio wanted to lose but eventually one would lose.
"Knock them asides with Unison Breaker!" Adagio yelled.
Spryzen was sent flying it looked as though it was going to be a Ring-Out Finish but Spryzen hit the wall making it able to survive. Spryzen then sped up and charged after Achilles, a small golden light blossomed over Spryzen. Adagio's eyes widened at the sight.
'It's like a weaker version of mine and Achilles Hyper-Flux.'
"Let's go! Achilles!" Achilles also sped up and charged after Spryzen, Achilles went into Hyper-Flux making it go even faster. "Take them out with Unison Sword!!"
"We will win this thing no matter what! Now Spryzen! Counter Break!!" Sonata yelled.
The two Beys collided in the center. Both Beys were pushing each other with all of their might, and neither of them wanted to give up. Adagio and Sonata were getting pushed back by the sheer force of their Beys colliding with one another. But because of Sonata's brute force to win, Spryzen was able to burst through Achilles securing its victory. Adagio gasped as pieces of Achilles hit the floor of the stadium.
"That's Lord Spryzen with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Sonata is the winner!" One of the maids announced.
"Alright! We did it!" Sonata picked up Spryzen and looked at it. "We did it Spryzen! We actually took down Adagio and Achilles, we've taken down the Champion!"
"I have to say, you caught me off, guard. You and Spryzen are far stronger than you two were before. However, don't get happy after one victory, the next time we Battle I'll be sure to take you down! But... you and Spryzen still have a long way to go if you think that was you two at full power." Adagio said walking up to Sonata with a smile.
Sonata looked at Adagio and then down at Spryzen. "You're right, I'll keep getting stronger with Spryzen and then we'll become the strongest in the whole world! Come on Adagio let's go again!"
Adagio smiled. "You're on Sonata!"
For the rest of the day, Adagio and Sonata battled with one another. Each of them has fun and getting stronger after every Battle. Sunset watched her daughters from afar and smiled seeing them so happy. However, there was still one thing missing... Aria.
Preview: After getting word from their mom, Adagio and Sonata head over to Dean and Derek's house for a battle. There they will not only get to see and Battle their new Beys but will also uncover newfound potential with their new Beys. The four will engage in a Tag Team Battle, will the sisters win like before? Or will the brothers overwhelm the sisters with their new Beys?
Next Time On Dazzling Bladers! Rebirth! Dragon and Devolos!
30. Rebirth! Dragon And Devolos!
Adagio and Sonata ran as fast as they could to get to Dean and Derek's house. They wanted to see their new Beys and see what they were made of in Battle. Devolos and Dragon were strong before but with their evolution, their Beys were probably even stronger than before. Once they got to their house, they saw Dean and Derek wanting for them outside. Adagio and Sonata smiled and Dean and Derek smiled back.
"We've been waiting for you guys, unlike before me and Dean won't lose." Derek said as he took out his new and improved Bey.
"Yeah don't think the results will be the same as before. We're stronger than ever before and our coordination has increased beyond our wildest expectations. Adagio, Sonata, be prepared to lose 'cause we ain't losing no matter what." Dean said, as he too showed off his new Bey.
"This is my new Bey, Command Dragon and this is Dean's new Bey Master Devolos. They're the same Types as they were last time but don't think you stand a chance against them just because you know what Type they are. There's something different between our Beys and yours, and that's what makes us stronger than you." Derek said smirking with confidence.
"It doesn't matter what difference there is between you and Dean's new Bey. You're not the only one with a new Bey!" Sonata said, then took out her new Bey. "This is my new Bey, Lord Spryzen! Unlike my past Bey, this Bey is a masterpiece made by yours truly! Not only are you going up against a Bey you have no information on once so ever, but you're going up against the Champion as well! Me and Adagio will surely will this thing, right Adagio?" Sonata turned to look at Adagio.
Adagio was surprised by Sonata's words. Sonata had a new fire in her eye ever since she made her new Bey. Adagio then smiled and nodded her head. "Yeah! Lord Spryzen and Union Achilles will take down Command Dragon and Master Devolos! The results won't be what you think it is! No matter what... me and Sonata will take you down and we will win!"
The four Bladers then walk over to Dean and Derek's backyard to Battle. They all got into their positions and looked at each other with a fire burning in their hearts.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!!" They all yelled.
All four Beys launched into the stadium, Achilles had its sword equipped and was in Attack Mode while Spryzen was spinning counterclockwise in Stamina Mode. Devolos and Dragon were running side by side with each other, and both of them were heading toward Achilles at an alarming rate.
"Block their attacks with your Unison Shield!" Adagio yelled.
Devolos and Dragon collide with Achilles but Achilles was able to stand its ground against their double attack. Sonata sees this as a chance to strike and uses it to her advantage.
"Now Spryzen! Get it there with your Counter Break!" Sonata yelled.
Spryzen collides with Devolos and Dragon sending them flying, Devolos hits the wall and takes to the center while Dragon hits the wall and uses the momentum to speed up.
"Bounce off the wall with your Winged Recoil!" Derek yelled.
Dragon bounces off the wall and takes charge striking Achilles. Achilles goes flying but sticks the landing, Achilles then heads straight back not wanting to lose to Dragon or Derek.
Adagio smiled, this Battle was getting her fired up. "Hit it with your Unison Launch!"
"Counter with Dragon Launch!" Derek countered.
While Dragon and Achilles were going head to head in their showdown Spryzen was taking on Devolos. Sonata was surprised, at first Devolos attacked like an Attack Type, and then suddenly it turned into a Defense Type, as it was now in the center. No matter how hard Spryzen pushed Devolos just wouldn't budge. Just then Dean smiled and Sonata was confused by his action.
"Counterattack, with Master Upper!" Dean yelled.
Devolos sent Spryzen flying but was thankful Spryzen survived the attack but its stamina had vanished in a matter of seconds. Just then Spryzen's tip gained traction and gained a sudden massive amount of speed. Adagio saw this and decided it was time for her to spring into action as well.
Adagio fired up with her aura. "Now Achilles! Send Dragon flying with Unison Whip!!"
Achilles struck Dragon sending it flying, however, Dragon used its Winged Recoil to survive once again. However, it was starting to wobble due to its loss of stamina. Spryzen was coming up fast towards it, if Spryzen collided with it at that speed Dragon would surely burst. However, Derek had no plan of losing to them anytime soon.
Derek suddenly smiled. "Dragon! Dodge their attack with Ignition Force!"
Just like Spryzen, Dragon suddenly gained a sudden boost in speed and dodged Spryzen's attack. Sonata and Adagio gasped at this, Sonata changed her target from Dragon to Devolos, and Spryzen headed towards Devolos. Derek seeing this headed toward Spryzen in an attempt to stop her.
Sonata smiled seeing Devolos all by itself. "Alright, Spryzen! Send Devolos flying!"
Derek laughed. "Not on my watch! Stop them in their tracks Dragon!"
Dragon and Spryzen collide with a flurry, and due to the collision, both Beys were sent flying out of the stadium. Both Spryzen and Dragon hit the floor resulting in only Adagio and Dean remaining.
"Come on Adagio, let's do this thing!" Sonata held out her fist towards Adagio. Adagio smiled back and collided her fist with Sonata's.
Adagio then turned her attention back to the Battle at hand. "Yeah! Now let's go Achilles!!" Achilles sped up as it went into its Hyper-Flux state, along with Adagio transforming with it. The wings, tail, and ears appeared before everyone's eyes. "Now go! Push through Devolos!!"
Achilles ran straight through Devolos sending it flying which then burst into the air. Dean and Derek gasped as Devolos burst, their previous talk before had been shattered by Sonata's and Adagio's teamwork. But as much as they would hate to say it Adagio and Sonata's coordination was superior in all aspects.
"Alright! We won! We took down Dragon and Devolos meaning that we're the stronger ones!" Sonata then hugged Adagio, the two were jumping up and down with excitement.
Derek smiled at the girls as he picked up his Bey. "I'll admit it was an amazing Battle, however, we won't lose the next time we battle. Don't get all cocky just because you're the Champion and your sister has a new powerful Bey. You're not the only ones that are getting stronger, everyone else is getting stronger by the day. Not only us but people like, Leon, Gabby, Athena, Phoebe, Bael, and everyone else."
Adagio and Sonata stopped jumping up and down and looked at Dean and Derek. Derek had a point, everyone else would be getting stronger but so would Adagio and Sonata. They would improve faster than everyone else and soon they would have everyone eating their dust with how much stronger they would have become.
Sonata then looked down at Spryzen. "I made a promise to Spryzen that I would make it the strongest Bey in the world and that we would be the greatest team ever! So until that happens I will keep getting stronger and then I will achieve our goal! I'll surpass all of you, even Adagio!"
Adagio smirked as she looked at Sonata. "You're going to be training for a while before that ever happens! I'm the Champion for a reason, and I don't plan on letting go of my Champion belt anytime soon, especially to you Nata."
Sonata then got into Adagio's face. "I'll take you down one day just you watch, you and Achilles will fall to me and Spryzen! I've beaten you once before and I can surely do it again! Just because your Champion doesn't mean anything to me!"
As the two sisters fought with one another Dean and Derek just watched them fight with one another.
"They do know that we're here right?" Derek asked as he looked at his brother.
Derek smiled. "Just let them be, they're sisters after all, they were likely to get into a fight with one another sooner or later. However, I wonder who would win in a Battle. Adagio the leader of the three or Sonata the airhead?" Dean looked at Adagio and Sonata as he wondered.
"I have a feeling we've only seen a bit of the power Lord Spryzen is capable of. With Sonata Battling by its side, it'll be only a matter of time before Spryzen's true power is shown. Spryzen still has room for evolution, I just hope I'm not the only one that can see that and that Sonata does as well." Derek said as he looked at Sonata.
"You don't have to worry about Sonata." Dean turned to his brother confused. "Sonata, Adagio, and Aria, they will all go far I can tell just by looking at them."
Dean looked at Adagio and Sonata still bickering with each other, and he smiled. "You bet."
Preview: After staying with Luna for a while Aria has finally returned back home. However, Aria has seemed to of changed since the last time they saw her. Aria challenges Adagio and Sonata to a Battle Royale, there Aria will show Adagio and Sonata just how much she has improved. Also, will Sunset and Aria be about to make amends or is their mother/daughter bond too far gone?
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Dark-Flux! Primal Attack!
31. Dark-Flux! Primal Attack!
That night Luna found Aria she had contacted Sunset to tell her about the change. Sunset allowed Luna to take in Aria for as long as Aria wanted. Things were going to be a bit different now that Aria was no longer there with them.
Adagio and Sonata were currently looking around the corner, they were worried sick for Aria. They saw Sunset talking to Luna on the phone, and Sunset didn't look like she was doing any better. Knowing that Aria ran away because of her was probably affecting her a lot.
"Is mom going to be okay?" Sonata asked Adagio.
"I don't know Sonata, this whole situation with Aria is probably eating her up. But then again you can't blame anyone for this. Mom had a reason for not telling us until now and Aria reacted to how she felt. We all had our reactions and Aria just took it the worst out of all of us." Adagio said as she continued looking at her mom.
Small tears started to form in Sonata's eyes. "I miss Aria... I want her to come back home." With that Sonata started to cry, Adagio quickly rushing to her side hugging her while rubbing her back.
"I know, so do I Sonata." Adagio looked out the door where Aria had run out, the door was still open and Adagio could see the pitch-black night sky with the stars shining. Silently hoping that Aria would come back through the door at that moment. "So do I."
It had been a few days since Aria had run away. Ever since that night, things were quiet. Sunset and Tom tried to get Sonata and Adagio to do something but how could they? All they wanted at the moment was to see Aria again. Even when they Battled with one another they were unfocused. Sonata and Adagio were currently outside having a practice Battle, they didn't want to but Sunset and Tom practically forced them to. The Battle was nothing special in fact it was more depressing than anything. Both Beys came to a stop at the same time resulting in a tie.
Adagio and Sonata picked up their Beys and looked at them. Just then for the first time in a long time, their Beys started talking to them.
"Achilles! It's you." Adagio said happy to see Achilles.
"It is, it's been a while since the last time we talked. Is everything okay, Adagio?" Achilles asked.
Adagio then looked down. "Just... a lot of problems going on, it's been affecting my Blading skills."
Achilles looked down at Adagio. "It's your sister, isn't it? I haven't felt Apocalypse presence for a while now."
Adagio looked at Achilles in surprise and then looked down. "Yeah..."
Achilles brought its sword down to Adagio's face, scaring her a bit. "Is this how you want Aria to see you when she returns? Do you want her to see you acting like this? You are the Champion and you should be Blading as one, not as some rookie who just started."
Adagio looked at Achilles, it was like a fire had been reignited within her. "Yeah! Let's go out there and show them who's Champion."
On Sonata's side...
Sonata looked at Spryzen and then looked down. "Spryzen... it's been a long time." Spryzen however didn't say anything and continued to look at Sonata. "Hey, what's wrong? Why aren't you talking to me?"
Spryzen opened its mouth. "I should be the one asking you what's wrong? You haven't acted like this ever since I was destroyed. You gotta get over Aria and start focusing on the Battle ahead of you. Aria won't want to Battle against someone who isn't worth her time and right now you aren't worth it."
Sonata looks at Spryzen with surprise and then Spryzen disappeared. Adagio and Sonata look at each other, Adagio smiled while Sonata was still surprised.
"Let's do this thing Sonata!" Adagio said with a smile.
"O-oh, o-okay." Sonata then attached her Bey to her launcher.
Adagio and Sonata took their places and... "Three! Two! One! Let it-"
"Room for one more?" A voice said.
Adagio and Sonata stop in their place and turn to the voice. Their eyes widen with their mouths agape. It was none of than Aria! Sonata and Adagio quickly ran to Aria and hugged her.
"I missed you!" They both said as they hugged Aria.
"Yeah, I missed you guys too." Aria said as she hugged her sisters.
Sunset looked at the scene in surprise and then looked at Luna. "So she wanted to come back home, huh?"
"Yes, it seems as though someone was homesick. However, I'm not quite sure if she wanted to come back just to see them or to see all of you." Luna said looking over at Sunset.
"Oh..." Sunset said as she looked over at Aria who looked happy to be there.
"Aria! Come on let's have a battle!" Sonata said with a smile.
"Fine by me Sonata, I want to see if you two have gotten any stronger. But just a little news flash, me and Apocalypse have gotten much stronger since the last time we saw each other." Aria said as she showed off Apocalypse to her sisters.
Adagio smirked. "I'll be the judge of that! Me and Achilles will take you down for sure!"
Aria smiles, "This'll be all three of us at once. No teaming, last Bey spinning wins."
Sonata gasped and then smiled. "Just like our match with Athena and Bael!"
Aria nodded. "Yep, so come on. Let's get this show on the road."
All Bladers took their positions. Sonata looked at Spryzen and started to resonate with it.
"Spryzen! Aria's back and I want to beat her but I have no clue how to do that. What should we do?" Sonata asked as she looked down at Spryzen.
"I'm sorry but I can be of no assistance. With Aria and Apocalypse being gone they might have some new tricks." Spryzen told her.
Sonata then began to think. "They have power but so can we! That's our plan! Well be powerful and beat them!"
"That's not exactly a plan." Spryzen said.
Sonata and Spryzen then stop resonating, Sonata looks at both Adagio and Aria who have been waiting for her. They could feel the power radiating off of Sonata.
"It's the only plan I need!" Sonata yelled.
Adagio and Aria start burning up and soon enough all three Bladers' auras were surrounding them.
"Get ready and set!" Said one of the maids.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" The three girls yelled.
With that, all three Beys landed on the stadium and started racing around. Achilles had the sword equipped and was in Attack Mode while Spryzen was spinning in counterclockwise Stamina Mode. Achilles and Apocalypse meet in the center and collide with a flurry! Both Beys go flying and hit the stadium walls sending them flying into the air. Due to hitting the wall Apocalypse lock moves a bit.
Both Beys fall back down onto the stadium and resume their fight. Spryzen's tip gains traction and heads toward Apocalypse.
"Don't forget about me Aria! Now, Counter Break!!" Sonata yelled.
Aria smirked. "I couldn't forget about you Sonata! Apocalypse unleash Omega Blast!"
Both Beys collide and Spryzen was the one sent flying. However, the impact from the hit made Apocalypse lock move again.
"Achilles! Get in there with Unison Launch!" Adagio yelled.
"Once again Spryzen, use Counter Break!!" Sonata countered.
"Charge in there with no fear Apocalypse!!" Aria yelled.
The three Beys collide in the center making all three get pushed back. Apocalypse lock moved once again making the center of it glow red. Aria smiled, her plan was coming to fruition and neither Adagio nor Sonata knew about it.
"LET'S GO APOCALYPSE!!" Apocalypse glowed with a pitch-dark black however the darkness was much darker than anything ever before. However, Apocalypse wasn't the only one that was changing. Just like Adagio did with her match against Gabby, Aria started to change as well. Wings appeared, as well as some ears and a tail. "ALRIGHT! I MASTERED DARK-FLUX!!!"
Adagio and Sonata gasped, Aria had learned a technique just like Adagio's Hyper-Flux! However, they couldn't stay surprised for long soon after they start to charge themselves.
"Spryzen!" Sonata yelled as Spryzen's avatar came to life.
"Achilles!" Adagio's wings, tail, and ears appear as well. Not only that but Achilles went into its Hyper-Flux state.
"END THIS WITH COUNTER BREAK!!!" Sonata yelled.
"UNISON WHIP!!!" Adagio yelled.
"TEAR THEM APART WITH FINAL BLAST!!!" Aria yelled.
All three Beys collide in with one another and all three go sent flying into the air. Like fireworks, all three Beys burst into the air. Adagio, Sonata, and Aria gasp and then wait for the call.
"Sorry girls but it's a tie with a simultaneous Burst Finish. However, don't be upset you all gave it your all and have shown just how far you've grown since you started." Tom said as he smiled at the girls.
The girls smile at Tom and pick up their Beys. Aria looks at her sisters and then turns to Sunset. Sunset stands up, while Aria started walking towards her. Adagio and Sonata watch as Aria and Sunset look at one another.
Aria looks at her mom, while Sunset looks right back at her. No one could read the expressions on their faces, but sometimes things can't stay forever. Aria ran to her mom and hugged her as if her life depended on it.
"I'm sorry for how I acted!" Aria said as she hugged Sunset.
Sunset was shocked at first but then started hugging Aria. She could feel the tears wetting her shirt but she didn't mind. All that mattered was that Aria was back home. Sonata, Adagio, and Tom walked over and hugged Aria and Sunset.
Luna looked at the scene and smiled. Now, this... this was family!
Preview: The day of love has come around, and this year the Dazzlings plan on making some new "connections". Watch as Adagio goes out with Venus, Aria goes out with Bael, and Sonata goes out with Artic. The only question is, will they work things out and will things turn out "happily ever after" or will things tragically shatter before their very own eyes?
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Special Chapter! Valentine's Day!
Author's Note
After being gone for longer than I wanted, I'm back! I apologize for being gone for so long but don't worry I don't plan on leaving anymore. I plan on making a new story soon, so be on the lookout for that this week.
32. Special Chapter! Valentine's Day!
The Dazzlings were currently in their house having a practice Battle with one another. The house was perfectly decorated for Valentine's Day a day that the Dazzlings were looking forward to. Today was the day the Dazzlings were going to "hang out" with some "friends."
"Girls be on your best behavior with your friends. I want you back here before nighttime, got it?" Sunset asked as she looked at the Dazzlings.
"Yes, mom!" The Dazzlings said, and with that, they headed off to their "friends" houses.
Adagio had arrived at Venus's house, she was excited to see how the day would turn out. The backyard door was open so she walked in, and there she saw Venus outside. He turned his head to see that Adagio had arrived, he smiled and waved at her.
"Hey, Adagio! How are you?" Venus asked.
"Hey, Venus! I'm good and how are you?" Adagio asked.
Venus smiled. "I'm good, but I think you want to watch this. Apparently, it has something to do with the future of the Blading world."
Adagio looked at Venus with confusion but then decided to see what he was talking about. The screen then lit up and it showed Tom with Aaron beside him.
"Hello everyone! Today we have a special announcement! There's a new tournament in the making, it's called the Team Tournament! This tournament will be worldwide! Anyone can join no matter what their ranking is! This tournament will decide the best team in the entire world. You along with two other individuals will have to work together to prove if your team has what it takes to be the best!" Tom announced.
"This tournament will focus on the teamwork between you and your friends. In the first few round of the tournament, it'll be a first to three points. You and your team must win three full matches to win. The final showdown will be a first to five, where you and your team must win five whole matches to win! Do you and your teammates have what it takes to be the best? And be declared the best team ever! Find out!" Aaron announced.
"We look forward to seeing all the amazing talent at the stadium. Until then, see you then!" With that, the screen went blank. Adagio continued to look at the blank screen in awe. A team tournament, she was totally going to enter but who would be her other two partners?
"Cool right? I'm guessing you're going to enter, I can see that fire in your eyes. Who do you think you're going to team up with?" Venus asked as he looked at Adagio with a knowing smile.
Adagio smiled at him. "Of course, I'm going to enter, I'm the World Champion after all!" Adagio then looked down at the ground. "However, I'm not sure who I'm going to team up with... Do you want to team up with me?"
Venus looked at her confused. "I thought you were going to want to team up with your sisters, plus I'm nowhere near as good as a Blader as you are. I'll probably just push you down with my skills."
"That's not true! You're an amazing Blader! And to be honest I don't know if me and my sisters teaming up is a good idea. We fight more than we get along. If we team up we probably won't go far. Please, be one of my partners! I know we'll make a good team!" Adagio begged, she really did want Venus on her regardless if she had a crush on him or not.
Venus then thought of an idea. "How about this, we have a Battle! If I win you decide if whether or not we should team up. If you win, I'll team up with you... and give you a little surprise."
Adagio looked at Venus confused. "Surprise? What kind of surprise? I wanna know what the surprise is!"
Venus smiled and laughed at her. "Gotta beat me if you want to find out. However I don't plan on losing, I've gotten much stronger since the last time we battled. You shouldn't underestimate me Adagio or else it'll lead to your defeat!"
Adagio scoffed. "Please! I'm the World Champion, and as the Champion, I don't lose to anyone. I'll beat you and you'll get a surprise of yourself with your Bey bursting!"
Venus laughed. "My Bey ain't bursting but yours will! Now let's go!" The two then got into position.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" They both yelled.
The two Beys collide in the center and already Venus was getting ready for a special attack. Adagio had kept Achilles in Attack Mode but without the sword equipped.
"Let's go Valtryek! Use Comical Star!!" Venus yelled.
"Survive the hit, Achilles!" Achilles yelled.
Valtryek hits Achilles sending it flying, Adagio was surprised but that wasn't going to stop her. Achilles was coming back down from the sky and was heading toward Valtryek!
"NOW ACHILLES!!" Achilles started to shine and went into Hyper-Flux. "RAIN DOWN ON YOUR ENEMY WITH UNISON DIVE!!"
"NOT HAPPENING! GO VALTRYEK!" Valtryek started to speed up and started heading towards Achilles who was still falling from the sky. "USE COMICAL STAR!!!"
The two Beys collide with one another neither of them giving up for even a second. Both Bladers wanted to win but sadly one of them was going to lose.
"USE UNISON BREAKER NOW!!!" Adagio cried out.
With no time to escape Achilles hits Valtryek with its special move making the Bey burst. Venus gasps in surprise while Adagio starts cheering for her victory. When Adagio went to go pick up her Bey, however, her Bey burst. Adagio gasped, Venus had gotten stronger, so strong that he almost won.
Adagio looked at Venus and smiled. "You sure have gotten strong Venus, you almost had me there. I hope our next Battle is just as action-packed as this one!"
Venus looked at Adagio and smiled. "Yeah! So... you won, do you still want me to be your partner for the team tournament?"
"I'm actually going to have to get back at you about that one. Don't get me wrong I would love to partner up with you, but I want to think about all of my decisions. I mean there's Bael, Leon, Athena, Phoebe, and so many other powerful Bladers out there that we don't even know about. So... I'm sorry." Adagio looked down.
"Don't be, I understand what you mean. The World Champion should have a Champion team just like her." Venus's comment made Adagio blush.
Adagio then looked away. "So, uh... what's the surprise you had for me?"
Venus looked up at the sky, the sun was starting to set. Venus then smiled and looked at Adagio.
"That. That's my surprise for you." As he looked up at the Sunset. Adagio looked and it was a perfect view of the sun setting. Venus sat down and Adagio sat next to him. "So what do you think of it?"
Adagio looked at Venus and smiled. "I love it." With that Adagio gave Venus a kiss on the cheek.
'This is the best Valentine's Day ever!' Adagio thought as she continued to look at the sunset with a blushing Venus next to her.
Aria had arrived at Bael's house and walked to the back of the house. When she entered the backyard she saw Bael training with his Bey. He was also looking at something on his phone screen.
"Yo, Bael! What're you looking at?" Aria asked as she arrived.
Bael turned around and looked at Aria. "Hey, Aria! There's word about some team tournament. Three people team up and see if they have what it takes to be the best team ever. The tournament is worldwide too and the team that wins will be declared as the world's best team!"
Aria looked at him surprised. "Wow, I wonder who I'm going to team up with? I'm going to need to team up with some people just as strong as me!"
Bael looked at her surprised. "I was for sure you were going to team up with your sisters. I mean with Adagio the Champion as your sister and Sonata who made it in the Semi-Finals and then you, that's a dream team in itself.
Aria thought about it but shrugged her shoulders. "I guess... but what if I want to team up with you? What would you say to that?"
Bael smirked. "I would say no because I'm way too powerful to be on your team! What happened at the first tournament was prior luck, I can beat you."
Aria scoffed and laughed. "I could beat you with my eyes closed! I've beaten you once and I can do it again! Just admit my attacks are too much for your defense!"
Bael smirked as he crossed his arms. "Want to test that theory out right here and now? Balkesh will defeat your Apocalypse! I have the Type advantage and more experience than you!"
"And what if you do? No matter what you try you can't stop me! I may not have made it to the Semi-Finals like my other sisters but I'm just as strong as them if not stronger!" Aria said as she showed off her Bey.
"Enough talking and let's just let our Beys do the talking. Or are you too scared to battle me?" Bael asked as he showed off his Bey.
"I'm not scared of anything and you're nothing but scary Bael! Let's do this thing!" As the two got into position.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!!" They both yelled.
Both Beys landed on the stadium, Balkesh took the center while Apocalypse rushed around the outer edge.
"Alright, Apocalypse! Hit Balkesh with everything you got and show them who's boss! Use Omega Blast!" Aria yelled.
Apocalypse rushes in and strikes down Balkesh making it go out of the center. Balkesh's lock advances making it go to the center and making small wings appear. Bael smiles at this, his plan was working.
Bael looked up at Aria with a smile. "Thank Aria! Because of you, Balkesh's defense is at its strongest! Now your chances of winning are over! Try as you might but you'll still lose!"
Aria looked back at Bael and smiled. "Think again Bael because I never give up! Don't stop Apocalypse and hit it over and over again! Make them beg for mercy!!"
Apocalypse continues to hit Balkesh over and over again but with the increased defense its attacks weren't doing anything. Apocalypse was now starting to run out of stamina quickly and Balkesh looked untouched. If Aria didn't do something soon she was going to lose the Battle and she didn't want that.
"Sorry Aria but some things just happen, it was just meant for you to lose to me. So why don't you bow to me and my almighty Balkesh!" The avatar of Balkesh was seen behind Bael roaring.
Aria looked at Bael, he was fired up and he was giving it his all. Aria could do better than this and she knew she could! "Apocalypse! This ain't over yet! Let's show them what we can do at full power! Use PRIME REBOOT!!"
Apocalypse not only sped up but also gained a massive boost of power. Bael looked at Apocalypse in surprise but then he put his game face back on.
"It seems this match ain't over just yet! Fine by me, come at me Aria!" Bael yelled.
Apocalypse charges towards Balkesh and the two enter a head-to-head collision with one another. Neither of them was backing down and neither were their Bladers.
"ARIA!!!" Bael yelled with the avatar of Balkesh behind him.
"BAEL!!!" Aria yelled with the avatar of Apocalypse behind him.
"Let's go Balkesh!" Bael yelled.
"Take them down Apocalypse!" Aria yelled.
The two Beys' avatars come to life as they both continue to push each other. Just then Aria came up with a genius idea that not even Bael would be prepared for!
"Now use Final Blast!" Aria yelled.
The impact from the attack sent Balkesh flying toward the stadium wall. Once it made contact with the wall however it burst, leaving a surprised Bael but a happy Aria.
"You were saying? Looks like I'm the winner!" Aria said with a smirk.
Bael looked at Aria as he picked up his Bey. "Yeah, I guess so. I was so close too, I'll be sure to get you next time!"
"That's what you said this time, it wouldn't happen next time." Aria smiled as she looked at Bael.
Bael rolled his eyes. "Oh shush you, I can beat you."
Aria looked at Bael the way the sun was hitting him was making him twice as cute as before to Aria. Before she knew it, she had given Bael a kiss on the cheek and started to hug him.
'This is the best Valentine's ever!' Aria thought as she continued to hug Bael.
"So what do you think Sonata? Do you have a game plan for what you're going to do?" Arctic asked Sonata. They had just seen the video explaining the whole team tournament and Arctic wanted to know if Sonata had any idea about who she was going to team up with.
"No... not really. I mean, maybe Dagi and Ari want to team up with me? But then again they probably want to team up with Venus or Bael. Or they'll probably go with powerful people like Leon, or Phoebe, heck maybe even Dean or Derek. There are so many people I could choose, I don't have a clue who I want to team up with." Sonata said holding her head, all of this thinking was hurting her head.
"You should try teaming up with people you personally have a connection with. Like Adagio and Aria, they're your sisters and the three of you have that family bond. You're friends with Athena and Phoebe so maybe one of them as well. You should also team up with people that have different styles of Blading. For example, Spryzen is a Balance Type that can switch Type and spin direction, it's not great at anything but not bad at anything. If you teamed up with someone like Leon you would have a good offense but not-so-great defense. And if you were to team up with someone like Bael you would have a good defense but a bad offense. It all matters on the Bladers and what Beys they have." Arctic explained.
Sonata held her head even harder. "All of this just for me choosing some partners. Don't you think this is a bit much? I mean sure all of this is very helpful but I think this is too much. I love that you're helping me but I want to go based off of what I know, I kinda want to do this by myself. I know you probably know what's best but this a friendly team tournament not picking out an unstoppable team."
Arctic nodded his head. "I guess your right, sorry Sonata."
"No, no. Don't be sorry, you gave me some helpful ideas. I just need to them to my advantage and make the ultimate team! Just watch, Arctic, I'll make the best team and win the whole thing whether or not I have Adgaio or Aria!" Sonata said with a smile.
Arctic once again nodded his head. "I'm sure if anyone can do it you can Sonata. Between the three of you girls, I think you have the most potential. Sure, Aria and Adagio are strong Bladers with their hands on Beys like Prime Apocalypse and Union Achilles. However, I think you and Spryzen have the strongest bond between Blader and Bey."
"Wow, thanks Arctic. It means a lot to hear that. Ever since Spryzen was destroyed by Gabby, I've wanted nothing more but to get a rematch with her and show her that me and Spryzen will never lose to her ever again. But we still have a long way to go until we can Battle her and beat her. I mean unlike Adagio we didn't go up against people like Leon or Aria and unlike Adagio we lost to Gabby while she won. With those terms, Adagio is stronger than me as well and I don't know if I can even put up a challenge against Aria. Maybe me making it to the Semi-Finals was just a fluke maybe I was just lucky." Sonata put her knees to her chest as small tears started to come to her face.
Arctic then went over to her. "Sonata don't cry and don't say that. You took on many strong opponents, you beat people like Dean and Athena. You beat Valex and even Frizzle. You didn't beat any of them out of luck but out of skill and the bond you have with Spryzen. Spryzen believes in you and you should believe in yourself."
Sonata then looked up at him. "But Adagio and Aria have Hyper-Flux and Dark-Flux and they have that super cool power-up ability. Yet here I am the only one who's yet to do something like that."
"Sonata you're not the only one who feels that way. How about everyone else? Leon, Phoebe, Dean, Derek, Athena, and Bael, too don't have the ability of Hyper-Flux or Dark-Flux. Sure yes, your sisters have unlocked new profound powers before you but I'm sure Adagio or Aria would have felt the same if they were the last ones to get their powers. I'm sure your powers will come one day, I think you and Spryzen are on a breakthrough to gain your powers you just need that extra push. With a bit of time, patience, and training, you and Spryzen will acquire your powers." Arctic told her.
Sonata looked up at Arctic and then down at Spryzen. She smiled and started to wipe the tears from her eyes. "Here I am being selfish when there are others going through the same pain as me. I'm sorry Arctic, and I'm sorry to you too Spryzen. I made a promise to Spryzen that I would make it the strongest Bey the world had ever seen and I plan on making that promise come true one day. But before that we'll learn our powers just like Adagio and Aria, one day we'll shine brightly from Hyper-Flux too!" Sonata said as she looked at Spryzen.
Arctic then thought about it. "I don't know Sonata. Your sisters have shown new powers, Adagio with Hyper-Flux and Aria with Dark-Flux, and let's not forget about Gabby and her Superior-Flux, you might just show off a new kind of Flux we've yet to see! You and Spryzen totally have what it takes to create your very own type of Flux."
Sonata looks at Arctic and then at Spryzen. "Our very own type of Flux you say. What do you think of that Spryzen? Do you want to try to create our own type of Flux? One that's stronger than Aria's, Adagio's, and Gabby's?" Spryzen shined and Sonata smiled. "I guess that answers my question. Alright, me and Spryzen will create our very own Flux if it's the last thing we do!"
Arctic smiled. "Nice. Keeping goals for yourself is a good way of pushing you and your Bey to your limits. And if you're ever stuck on what to do just know I'll always be here to help you out. I'm here for all of you girls, you three are like my family like my little sisters at this point. You and me are family even though we aren't by blood. You can come to me for anything not just about Blading advice."
When Arctic said you're like my sister Sonata felt a little hurt. Why? She wasn't quite sure, but she smiled knowing Arctic cared that much about her and her sisters.
"Thank you, Arctic. You've been such a big help to not only me but to my sisters as well. Because of you we've gotten stronger, Adagio may not have said it but she wouldn't have been able to become Champion without your help. The same goes for Adagio and Aria, I would've never of made it to the Semi-Finals without your help and Aria wouldn't have gotten as strong had it not been for you. You play a part in our improvement whether or not you believe it. So thank you... for everything." Sonata then went up to Arctic and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Oh, u-uh, your w-welcome." Arctic said as he blushed.
"Y-yeah... w-well see you l-later!" Sonata said as she walked away.
Night finally arrived and the Dazzlings were laying down on their beds thinking about the day they had, had. This Valentine's Day had to be the best the Dazzlings had ever had. At the time they weren't thinking about the danger that was around the corner all they were thinking was about another amazing Valentine's Day for the following years to come.
Preview: With learning about the Team Tournament around the corner, the Dazzlings must figure out who they want as their partners. But when the people they want on their teams aren't available they must join forces and take their connections with one another to the next level.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Reformation! The Dazzlings Return!
Author's Note
Happy Valentines Day, I hope everyone had a good day. I know this chapter didn't have a lot of Valentines like plot but hey... I tried and it's something I guess.
33. Reformation! The Dazzlings Return!
Valentine's was over and it was time to start looking for teammates for the team tournament. It was early in the morning and the girls were wide awake getting to work. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata were all in the living room looking at all of their friend's stats, their main goal was to scout around and see which ones would fit their liking. Sunset and Tom were looking at them from afar, Sunset was looking at them confused while Tom smiled at the scene.
"They do know they can team up with each other, right?" Sunset asked looking at Tom.
"I hate to admit it but I don't think they do. But even if they do know I think they would still be doing the same thing regardless." Tom said sipping his coffee.
Sunset turned to Tom. "What makes you say that? I mean their sisters, of course, they would want to team up."
Tom shook his head. "Not necessarily, I think they're looking at everyone else before they pick their sisters. You also have to remember that they're rivals themselves. They probably want to face off with one another and prove their stronger, that's why they haven't joined forces just yet."
Sunset turns her head back to the girls and then back at Tom. "Wonder who they're going to team up with then, it could be anyone at this point. I just hope whoever they team up with they makes a good team. Not to mention if they have to square off with one another. I hope they can Battle with one another and not cause a huge scene."
Tom looked at the girls. "Only the future will determine that factor. But right now it's the girl's decision on who they want to team up with, if they want to team up they will if not we will respect their decision."
All Sunset could do was nod her head, she had a sneaking suspicion that something wrong was going to happen during the team tournament. But what?
After a few more minutes of looking at their friend's stats, the girls had finally figured out which other two Bladers they wanted to unite with. The three girls packed their things and split paths to go to their designated locations.
For Aria, she was going with Bael and Gabby. Bael because... well she liked him and Gabby simply because she had given Aria the Eclipse Armor for Apocalypse. Walking her way to Bael's house she looked down at the Armor in her hand. If she had used it in her match with Adagio and Sonata a few days ago she most likely would have won the match. However, it was too early for she had wanted to keep it a secret. It was her trump card and she wasn't going to let her secret weapon be shown so soon.
For Sonata she was going with Dean and Leon. Dean because although her feelings for him vanished a while ago, that didn't mean he wasn't still a good Blader. Master Devolos was a Bey Sonata was still curious about and she wanted to use it to her advantage. Her reasoning for Leon was simple as well, with his and Zone Luinor's raw power they would be able to overcome any shield, well every shield except for Adagio's and Gabby's.
For Adagio she was going with Venus and Athena. Venus because just like with Aria and Bael, she liked Venus. And in Athena's case even though the two were rivals they were still good friends. And if they could push their rivalry into teamwork they might just be able to win the whole tournament. Adagio looks up and notices that she was already at Athena's house, now it was time for her plan to go into action.
"WHAT?!" The three siblings yelled at once.
Adagio and Aria had asked Athena and Bael if they wanted to team up just to hear that they were already in a team with other people. In Sonata's case, Dean and Derek were both gone from their parents, they had left due to someone inviting them to some sort of special event.
Adagio, Aria, and Sonata then went to find Venus, Gabby, and Leon. However, they were out of luck because just like Dean and Derek, Leon and Gabby were both invited to some sort of special event as well. Adagio sadly was too late too because Venus was already teaming up with his brother, Valex. Left defeated the three girls traveled back home there they would have to think of a plan B.
When Adagio, Aria, and Sonata all got home Sunset could tell that they were upset. The girls went to the table in the living room and started to think of a plan B. There were still a few people they hadn't asked so there was still a chance. People like Phoebe, Joy, and Frizzle still had yet to be in a team, at least the girls hoped.
"Mom! Can I call Phoebe's mom?" Adagio asked her mom.
"Sure go ahead Adagio." Sunset yelled from the living room.
"Dad! Can I use your phone to call Joy and then Frizzle to see if they're available or not?" Sonata asked her dad.
"Yeah this is like really important and if we're even a second late they might get picked." Aria said also asking her dad.
Tom smiled at the two of them. "Fine, go ahead girls. But if someone calls me give back my phone."
Aria and Sonata nodded their heads and started dialing up Joy, while Adagio was dialing up Phoebe.
"Hello?" Adagio heard the voice it wasn't Phoebe's voice it was her mother's voice.
"Hi Phoebe's mom, it's Adagio. I was wondering if I could talk to Phoebe for a second?" Adagio asked hoping Phoebe could talk.
"Oh hello, Adagio dear. I'm sorry but Phoebe isn't home, she went to some kind of special event with Leon. Don't tell her I said this but I think she's finally making her move with Leon, my baby is on her first date I'm so happy." Phoebe's mom said, the happiness in her voice very clear.
Adagio deadpanned at what Phoebe's mom was saying. "O-oh, well I'm very glad for both of them. Thank you for letting me know Phoebe's mom, have a good day."
"You too dear." With that the phone hung up and Adagio sighed.
Yet again luck was not on the girl's side today, that was the fourth person today who was at some sort of special event that they just couldn't miss. Things weren't going much better on Aria and Sonata's side.
"Come on Joy! Please, one of us needs you to be one of their partners. Mostly me, Sonata can go team up with a trash can for all I care. Think about it Joy, with you and me working together we'll be unstoppable." Aria begged.
"Nooo!" Sonata whined. "Not fair Ari! I want to team up with Joy! Joy team up with me! Aria is mean and unfriendly, plus you and I are closer than you and Aria. You and me will not only be strong but also have a mutual connection with one another."
"Girls, I'm so sorry but I'm already in a team with some people. And even if I wasn't I couldn't choose between the two of you that would be unfair. Also, I don't know if you've asked Frizzle or not but don't. She's already in a team from what one of my friends said. I think it'll be best if you two just team up. I think everyone else has a team except for you guys. Once again I'm sorry but I have to go and start training. I hope to see you guys in the stadium soon." With that, the phone hung up. Aria and Sonata looked at one another and sighed.
It was over, all of their friends had teams, all of them but the three sisters. Sonata turns her head to Aria while Aria turns her head to Sonata, they had no other choice, right? They had to team up with each other... but could they get along was the question.
"Um... Ari? I know we butt heads a lot but can we please put our fighting aside and work together please. I know you want to win the tournament just as much as me, Spryzen is a Balance Type while Apocalypse is an Attack Type so we balance each other out. Plus the bonds with our Beys and with each other are on a whole different level. So... what do you say? Team?" Sonata puts out her hand.
Aria looks down at Sonata's hand and smiles. "Sure, why not? We're sisters after all, and for once you actually said something smart. I think we'll make a wonderful team Sonata. Now then, let's go show the world what we're made of!" The two girls shake their hands, so it was official, Sonata and Aria were going to team up. But what about Adagio?
"Should we team up with Adagio?" The two girls then look at a sad Adagio sitting at the table looking out the window. Just then Sunset went behind them and put her hand on Aria's and Sonata's shoulders.
"I think you girls should team up with Adagio. It'll be nice seeing you three working beside one another in perfect harmony." Sunset said with a smile.
The girls look at each other and nod. "Yo! Adagio, wanna team up with me and Nata?"
Adagio turns around and looks at Aria and Sonata, she smiles and walks over to them. "I didn't think we would have to team up with each other. I was kinda looking forward to battling you guys not working with you. But it's our last option so sure, let's join forces and become the strongest team ever!" The three girls put their hands together in the middle and shot it up in the air.
"Wonderful girls, I'm so proud of you. Now then, you still have some work to do." The girls look up at Sunset confused, what were they forgetting? Sunset sees their confused faces and smiles. "You three need a name and a team captain and don't forget about a trainer."
Sonata looked at her mom confused. "But we have Arctic, momma! He's already our trainer."
Sunset laughed. "I'm messing with you, of course, Arctic is your trainer. But what about your team name and which one of you three is going to be the captain."
"I already decided on the name." Sonata, Aria, and Sunset turn to see Adagio smiling with her arms crossed.
"Hey!" Aria yelled. "This is a team, me and Sonata get to decide the team name as well!"
Adagio smiled at Aria. "Trust me Aria you're going to like this one. Get this we should go by our old name, the name mom told us we went by in our past lives. Let's rebirth the name of the Dazzlings! What do you two say?"
Sonata smiled as she jumped up and down. "I love it! Let's do it! What do you say Aria?"
Aria thought about it and then smiled. "That's actually not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Let's do this thing! We will be known as the Dazzlings, the strongest team the world had ever seen!"
Sunset smiles. "A very interesting choice Adagio, I like it. Now then girls, who's going to be the team captain? And before you girls get into a big fight, if you can't decide you decide it with a Battle. The winner becomes a captain."
The girls look at each other and smile. "I think we would have had the Battle whether or not you said that mom." Adagio looks at her mom and smiles.
Adagio, Aria, and Sonata were now outside and getting ready. Adagio was equipping Achilles with the sword and was going into Attack Mode. Aria had decided to not use the Eclipse Armor once again she was confident she could win without it. Meanwhile, Sonata had put Spryzen in Left spinning Stamina Mode, she was going to take this Battle safely and with precaution.
"Alright girls. Whenever you're ready!" The girls nod their heads showing Sunset that they were ready. "Ok. Ready and set! Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!"
The three Beys make it to the stadium and start racing around, the three Beys make their way to the center and collide sending all three flyings backward. Aria looks over at Achilles who was in a head-to-head collision with Spryzen, she smiled if her planned work her victory would be assured.
"Go Apocalypse!" Apocalypse rushes over to where Achilles and Spryzen were at. "Hit them with your Final Blast!!"
The impact from the attack was so strong that it sent both Beys flying, making Adagio and Sonata gasped. Spryzen hits the stadium wall and starts to lose its stamina while Achilles was sent rocketing up in the air.
Aria smiled. "How do you like that? Victory is mine!"
"Don't be so sure of that Aria." Adagio smiled.
"Say what?" Aria asked.
"UNISON DIVE!!!" Adagio yelled.
"Hey! Don't forget about me! Counter Break!" Sonata countered.
Achilles heads straight towards Apocalypse while Spryzen came in for the finishing blow! The three Beys collide and the force of the attack sent all three going back the other way. Achilles and Spryzen were somehow able to survive the attack while Apocalypse was sent flying out of the ring.
Aria looks at her fallen Apocalypse. "Tch... !!"
Adagio looks up at Sonata. "Guess it's just you and me, Sonata. Look out because me and Achilles are coming at you with all we got." Adagio closes her eyes and smiles, she then puts on her serious face. "ACHILLES GOOO!!!"
Achilles speeds up and goes into Hyper-Flux, it then charges toward Spryzen. Spryzen was barely hanging on after everything it had gone through before, if Achilles hit it, it would surely be over! Just then right before Achilles hit Spryzen, Spryzen's tip gained traction on the stadium floor and was able to narrowly avoid the attack.
Adagio was shocked. "What the?!"
Sonata smiled. "Spryzen! You did it!!"
Achilles crashes into the stadium wall and loses a massive chunk of its stamina. Spryzen was picking up speed and was heading toward Achilles, Adagio couldn't do anything... could she?
"Go Spryzen! Hit it with Counter Break!!" Sonata yelled.
Adagio gritted her teeth. "Do everything in your power to stop it! Unison Shield!!"
The two Beys collide and they both get sent back, both Beys land out of the ring resulting in a tie.
The three girls look at what just happened. "What does that mean then?"
Adagio looks at Sonata and smiles. "Sonata, you can be the captain. I'm normally the captain so you go ahead."
Sonata looked up at Adagio in shock. "Adagio... for realsies?"
"Yes, for realsies. Right Aria?" Adagio asked looking over at Aria.
Aria nodded her head. "Yeah, me and Adagio will be hoping you can take us all the way to the top with your leadership Sonata."
Sonata looked at her sisters as small tears appeared in her eyes. "You guys... yeah! I'll be sure to send us all the way to the top!!"
The three girls look at each other and smile. "LET'S GO DAZZLINGS!!!"
Preview: It's the night before the team tournament begins and the Dazzlings go to bed for the night. However that night Aria gets more than just sleep, she'll have an encounter with none other than Apocalypse itself. To prove Aria's worth to wield Apocalypse once and for all, she must go through the most riveting obstacle of her life.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Know Your Bey! Aria Edition!
34. Know Your Bey! Aria Edition!
It was currently night-time and Aria was having a wonderful dream about her beating not only Gabby but Sonata and Adagio as well.
"With a Burst Finish, Aria and Apocalypse are the winners!" The referee declared. The crowd cheered as Aria picked her Bey up from the stadium and smiled while looking at it.
"Alright, Apocalypse! You and me are the best team the world has ever seen!" All of a sudden Apocalypse started to glow brighter and brighter it was scaring Aria. "Apocalypse?" The light shined so bright that it engulfed Aria. When Aria opened her eyes she noticed that before her eyes were Apocalypse. "Apocalypse! Why have you brought me here? We just won against my sisters and Gabby!"
"No Aria. For this is a dream, everything that has happened is nothing but an illusion." Apocalypse said looking down at Aria.
Aria looked at Apocalypse in surprise. "Wait so then how are we talking? Or is this just another illusion within an illusion?"
Apocalypse opened its mouth. "I promise you this is not an illusion or a dream. This is the real deal, if I'm not mistaken you're about to enter a team tournament with your sisters. You and me have fought alongside each other from the very start however you've yet to prove yourself worthy to me to wield me in battle. So I have come here to see once and for if you're worthy of my destructive power."
Aria looks at Apocalypse and sighs. "Very well then. Once I prove myself worthy you will Battle along my side in the team tournament with Adagio and Sonata." Aria starts turning her head. "So what do I have to do? Where's the challenge I have to overcome to prove myself to you."
"Right behind you." Aria turns her head to see a boy she had never seen before. She didn't like to assume things but she was guessing this boy's favorite color was red seeing he wore a lot of it. He picks through his pocket and pulls out Union Achilles! Aria gasps, that was Adagio's Bey! What was this boy doing with her sister's Bey? Did he take it from her? "The boy in front of you is Aiger Akabane. He is from another universe, but in his universe, he is known as the World Champion and wields Union Achilles just like your sister. Your challenge is simple, defeat Aiger in a battle and you win my respect."
Aria smirked. "Well alright then! All I got to do is win this Battle with a Burst and this Battle will be over! Get ready Aiger Akabane because I'll kick your butt so far you'll be going back to where you came from!" However, all Aiger did was attach his Bey to his launcher and got into his position. "Oi! What's with the silent treatment? Do you not think I'm a strong enough opponent against the likes of you World Champion?!"
"Aria he's an illusion. He can't hear what you're saying nor is that the real Aiger Akabane, trying to touch him." Aria did what Apocalypse said and tried touching him. However, her hand went right through him as if he was a ghost. Aria pulled her hand back surprised at what she was witnessing. "Now hurry up and Battle him, you can't stall forever."
Aria attaches her Bey to her launch. "Hmmph, I'm not stalling." Aria then gets into position and smiles.
"Ready and set! Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" They both yelled.
Aria watches as Aiger unleashes his backflip launch leaving Aria in shock. What kind of launch was that?!
The two Beys take to the stadium with incredible speed. Apocalypse takes to the upper deck with Achilles chasing not far behind. Before Aria knew it Achilles had caught up to Apocalypse and hit it with an extreme attack that made it go flying across the stadium.
"That's some power! But we got power too! Now Apocalypse hit it with an Omega Blast!!" Aria yelled.
Apocalypse hits the wall and uses the rebound to connect with Union Achilles. Achilles gets sent back but charges in for another attack.
"Gooo!! Unison Launch!" Aiger yelled.
Achilles started hitting Apocalypse with a barrage of attacks leaving it with no room to recover. Aria was in a pickle and she had no clue how to get out of it, that's when an idea hit her!
Aria smiled. "Apocalypse! Use Prime Reboot!"
Achilles strikes Apocalypse again, but the attack hadn't done any damage it actually gave Apocalypse an extra boost in speed. Apocalypse ran up the slope of the stadium and charged back down it heading straight toward Achilles. Aiger sees this and smiles.
"Once again! Omega Blast!" The Dark-Flux had activated and Apocalypse was charging at Achilles with all its might.
"ACHILLES!!!" Aiger's headband snapped as his hair went loose. Achilles started to pick up speed as it went into its Hyper-Flux state. "UNISON WHIP!!"
The two Beys meet in the middle of the stadium with a flurry. The blow was so strong that it sent both Beys flying out of the stadium, however, Achilles hits the edge of the stadium keeping it still in bounds while Apocalypse hits the floor outside of the arena. Aria looks down at her Bey in shock, was this the power of Aiger and Achilles?
"Union Achilles with a Ring-Out Finish! Aiger Akabane takes the first point! Point standings are 1-0!" A referee declared.
Aria picks up Apocalypse and stares at Aiger. She was trailing a point and if she lost again it would all be over. Aria was now starting to realize that Aiger was the real deal, he was the World Champion for a reason and he shouldn't be taken so lightly.
Aria gritted her teeth as she looked at Aiger. "Now what do I do? Achilles' speed and power are on a whole different level. Their power really is out of this world. His bond with Achilles might even be stronger than Adagio's."
"You're just now understanding that?" Aria turned to face Apocalypse. "If you want to see glory in this Battle you have to dig deeper than you've ever dug before Aria. You may know Achilles but you don't know Aiger, his way of using Achilles is different than Adagio's. If you can't defeat someone like Aiger you stand no chance at beating Gabby, much less your sisters. Your chances at me proving you worthy is getting destroyed by the second."
Aria looked back at Aiger. He stood tall as the avatar of Achilles loomed over him. Aria looked down at Apocalypse, Achilles, and Aiger made a good team but so did she and Apocalypse! The two Bladers took their positions, no matter what Aria was going to take down the World Champion. Without knowing it she was starting to walk back from the stadium.
"Get ready and set!" The referee started.
"Three!" Aria ran towards the stadium.
"Two!" Aria threw her launcher up in the air as she continued to run toward the stadium.
"One!" Aria caught her launcher and stopped as she then jumped and did a spin in the air as she launched her Bey.
"Let it Rip!" They both yelled.
The two Beys crashed onto the stadium floor as they ran around the stadium. Apocalypse took to the upper deck while Achilles took the center. Apocalypse launched itself off of the upper deck and towards Achilles.
"Hit it with your Omega Blast!" Aria yelled.
"Endure it with your Unison Shield!" Aiger yelled.
Apocalypse hits Achilles and gets sent flying, it was as though Apocalypse had crashed into a wall. Aria smiled as Apocalypse went up the slope and charged at Achilles. The two Beys collide as the two Bladers let out a battle cry.
"ACHILLES!" Aiger yelled as Achilles' avatar was behind him.
"APOCALYPSE!!!" Aria yelled as Apocalypse avatar was behind her.
The two Beys disengage with one another as they both climb the upper deck. Achilles hits the wall making it launch itself toward Apocalypse as it was starting to head back to the lower deck.
Aiger jumps up and then slams his hand to the ground. "UNISON BREAKER!!!"
Achilles hits Apocalypse sending it flying up in the air, Achilles starts rushing over to the falling Apocalypse. It had activated its Hyper-Flux, if Aria didn't do something and fast this Battle was going to be over!
"LET'S GO APOCALYPSE!" Apocalypse had activated its Dark-Flux as it continued to fall from the sky. Aria then transformed as her wings, tail, and pony ears appeared. "HIT IT WITH YOUR PRIMAL SPHERE!!" Due to Apocalypse spinning in the air along with the Dark-Flux live a black sphere-like figure surrounded Apocalypse.
The two Beys collide neither of them letting go for a second. Just then an explosion occurs making both Bladers cover their eyes from the blow. The sound of a Bey bursting could be heard throughout the room. When the explosion dies out the bladers uncover their eyes to see Apocalypse still spinning in the stadium while Achilles had been burst into pieces.
"That's a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-1, Aria and Apocalypse are the winners!" The referee declared.
Aria smiled as she picked up her Bey. "Alright! We did it Apocalypse!"
"Indeed we did Aria. You've finally proved yourself worthy of my power. I expect to have more heart-thrilling Battles like those in the future with you." With that Apocalypse faded away. Aria turns her head and sees Aiger.
"You may not be able to hear me but thank you Aiger. Because of you, me and Apocalypse now have a bond stronger than ever before. We'll continue to get stronger and stronger and we'll keep improving. And then one day I hope to have a Battle with the real you!" Aiger smiles and just like Apocalypse faded away. All of a sudden a bright light fills the whole room, when Aria opens her eyes again she sees that she's in her room. It was morning time meaning today was the day of the team tournament.
Aria picks up her Bey and looks down at Apocalypse who shines in her hand. "Apocalypse, let's go out there and show that we're the greatest team that the world has ever seen!"
Preview: After following Aria's adventure we now follow Adagio as she must prove herself to Achilles. With the bond that she shares with Achilles will the problem be too easy or will it be easier said than done? Watch as Adagio must venture to fight for survival with Achilles on her side!
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Know Your Bey! Adagio Edition!
35. Know Your Bey! Adagio Edition!
Adagio was happily dreaming about how she had beaten Gabby and became the Champion. She lifted Achilles in the air as people began to chant her name over and over again. Just then Achilles started to glow, Adagio looked surprised as the light kept getting brighter and brighter. "Achilles?" Just then the light engulfed her. When opening her eyes she saw that she was face to face with Achilles.
"Greetings Adagio, it's nice to talk to you again." Achilles said as it looked down at her.
"Achilles! It's nice to talk to you too but, why have you summoned me?" Adagio questioned.
Achilles brought its sword to her face. "I have gathered you because I think it's time for you to prove yourself once and for all. A test to see if your worthy of wielding me in Battle, only the strongest can wield my sword and shield in Battle."
Adagio looked at Achilles confused. "But I'm the Champion! Isn't that mean enough for me to be able to wield you in Battle?"
Achilles shook its head. "Just because you are Champion doesn't mean anything, there will always be someone stronger than you. I have faith in you Adagio, I have no doubt that you'll be able to overcome my challenge to you."
Adagio looked at Achilles and sighed. "Fine, what's my challenge?"
"Look behind you." Adagio turned around and saw a tall boy, much taller than her. He had a black cloak on, his red eyes shined bright, and his white hair was something Adagio had never seen before. She was looking at none other than the legendary Blader, Shu Kurenai. "The Blader in front of you is Shu Kurenai, he is from an alternative universe. In his universe he is one of the strongest Bladers around, do not underestimate him. His Blading prowess and intellect far surpass yours, but I believe you can beat him Adagio."
"Of course I can, I'm the Champion. Now let's get this thing started!" Adagio took out Achilles and attached her Bey to her launcher. Shu takes out his Bey and when he does it surprises Adagio, it was Lord Spryzen! "Spryzen?! What is he doing with Sonata's Bey?"
"In his universe, Shu is the owner of Spryzen." Achilles then looked at Spryzen. "He is the true owner of Spryzen, he knows Spryzen better than Sonata ever could. You know Spryzen however you know nothing about Shu, you'll have to think outside the box. Use my sword and shield if you want to achieve victory in this Battle."
Adagio looks at Achilles and nods her head. She gets in her position as she waits for the countdown. She looks at Shu, she knew nothing about him but she was determined to win this Battle. Adagio then looked at Spryzen and saw that it was in Right-spinning Attack Mode, so she secretly changed Achilles into Stamina Mode. She was going to take full use of Achilles' sword and shield.
"Ready and set!" A referee yelled
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" They both yelled.
The two Beys take to the stadium with fierce launches, Achilles heads to the center while Spryzen heads to the upper deck. Achilles claims the center and waits for its prey, while Spryzen races around on the upper deck waiting for a chance to pounce.
"Attack it!" Spryzen jumps from the upper deck and tries to land a devastating but Adagio wasn't going to let that happen.
"Block that attack with Unison Shield!" The two Beys collide and Spryzen gets sent back. Adagio smiled at this, her plan was working but like Achilles had told her about not underestimating Shu, she kept her guard up.
Spryzen rushed up the slope of the stadium and started to race down it. "Unleash Counter Break!!" Adagio had no time to come up with a counter plan so Achilles was struck with a powerful blow. The strike made Achilles get pushed out of the center and onto the upper deck. Spryzen was racing around the lower deck, Adagio saw this and smiled, a plan was brewing in her head.
"ACHILLES!" Achilles starts to speed up, it's Hyper-Flux activating. "TAKE THEM OUT WITH UNISON WHIP!!!!" Achilles jumps from the upper deck and onto the lower deck picking up speed and heading toward Spryzen. However right before Achilles is able to hit Spryzen, Spryzen suddenly gets a massive boost of speed, evading the attack. "No way!"
"Alright, Spryzen!" Spryzen starts to pick up even more speed its own Hyper-Flux bursting to life. "Lord Spryzen Whip!"
The two Beys meet in the center and both get sent back. Both Beys hit the edge of the stadium making them still in bounds however the hit made both Beys start to wobble. Both Achilles and Spryzen looked as though they were going to stop at any moment, at this point, it was anyone's match. Slowly but surely both Beys came to a stop but Spryzen lasted a bit longer.
"Survivor Finish for Lord Spryzen! That's one point to Shu Kurenai, that makes the score 1-0." The referee declared.
Adagio picked up her Bey, Achilles wasn't kidding. Shu really wasn't someone to underestimate, as much as Adagio would hate to admit it but Shu was on a whole different level than she was. Adagio watched as she saw Shu switch Spryzen into Left-spinning Stamina Mode. With a fire burning in her eye Adagio equipped the sword on Achilles and changed it into Attack Mode.
'No matter what I'm going to win. I have to prove to Achilles that I'm worthy of wielding it in Battle. A sword and shield, a sword used for attack, and a shield used for defense. Achilles is a Balance Type for that reason, it's attack power is nowhere near Apocalypse nor is his defense as impenetrable as Genesis. But if I'm able to control both the sword and shield, anything is possible. I'm the Champion for a reason and I'm going to show it in this Battle!'
The two then get into position, and Adagio had a plan. "Get ready and set!"
"Three!" Adagio threw her launcher into the air.
"Two!" Adagio then flipped her hair.
"One!" Adagio then grabbed her launcher and spun around.
"Let it Rip!" They both yelled.
Once again Spryzen and Achilles take to the stadium, however, the roles have been swapped. Spryzen claimed center stage while Achilles was racing around waiting for the right time to strike.
"We're winning this one with a Burst Finish! Hit it down Achilles with your Unison Launch!!" Adagio yelled.
Achilles lets loose and strikes Spryzen with a 360 attack not letting it get even a second to recover. Adagio wanted to win, she was going to win! Achilles finally hits Spryzen making it go out of the center.
"Let's end this Achilles! Unison Sword!" Adagio cried out.
"Take them down with Counter Break!" Shu yelled.
The two Beys collide and both of them get sent flying. Achilles lands on the upper deck while Spryzen gets sent flying into the air. Spryzen starts to fall back down its tip hits the edge of the stadium switching it from Stamina Mode into Attack Mode. In doing so Spryzen got an insane amount of speed and ran up the upper deck.
"Spryzen!" Spryzen activated its Hyper-Flux and started to charge toward Achilles. Spryzen raced off the upper deck and straight ahead to Achilles.
"Endure it Achilles! Stop them in their tracks with your Unison Shield!" Adagio countered.
Due to Spryzen having the momentum, Spryzen was easily able to overpower Achilles making it go flying sky-high. Adagio gasped as she saw her beloved Bey go flying. Adagio didn't know what do to, all of her ideas were getting destroyed nothing she could think of had worked.
'You'll have to think outside the box. Use my sword and shield if you want to achieve victory in this Battle.'
What Achilles had said early played in Adagio's head. With that, an idea had been lit up in her head that she gave a big smile.
"BLAST OFF ACHILLES!!" Achilles started to free fall from the sky, its Hyper-Flux activating. Achilles not being the only one activating its power, Adagio too started to transform, her wings, ears, and tail coming to life! "STRIKE IT DOWN WITH YOUR UNISON DIVE!!"
Achilles lands on top of Spryzen the two Beys fighting for dominance and victory. Neither of them was letting up for even a second, both Bladers yelling out with their avatars looming behind them roaring out with them.
"NOW ACHILLES! UNISON WHIP!!" Achilles unleashes a powerful blow causing an explosion to occur. Both Bladers covered their eyes from the smoke, but the question still stands, who won?
The smoke died out and when it did it showed Spryzen in pieces while Achilles stood tall and proud as it raced around the stadium its Hyper-Flux shining brighter than ever before.
"That's a Burst Finish for Union Achilles. With a final score of 2-1, Adagio is the winner!" The referee declared.
"Alright! We won!" Adagio picked up Achilles and smiled. "We did it, Achilles, we really did it! We beat the legendary Shu Kurenai."
"I didn't do anything, this Battle was all you Adagio. Your determination and tenacity won us the Battle. You have now proved yourself worthy, although no matter whether you won or not I always thought you were worthy of wielding me in Battle." Achilles smiled.
"Thank you, Achilles." Adagio then turned to face Shu. "Shu you're an amazing Blader, no wonder your described as a legendary Blader. Thank you for battling me, because of you and Achilles have become even more powerful than before." Shu smiled, and with that Shu faded away. Adagio looked back at Achilles and Achilles looked back.
Achilles looked at Adagio and smiled. "Adagio I wish to have more fun and intense Battles just like that one with you in the future. Remember I'm always here if you ever need my help."
Adagio nodded her head. "I want to have battles like that one too with you Achilles. With you by my side, the two of us can do anything. We're the Champions after all, and we'll just keep getting stronger and stronger. Soon we'll be undefeatable, no one will be able to win against us, not Gabby, not Leon, not even my sisters.
"Yeah!" With that Achilles faded away as a bright light started to engulf Adagio once again. When Adagio woke up she saw that she was in her bed.
"So it was just a dream? But it felt so real." Adagio got out of her bed and picked up Achilles, it was the morning of the team tournament and Adagio couldn't be happier. "Let's go out there and show the world that we are the Champions for a reason! With Aria and Sonata, our team is going to win no matter who we're facing."
Achilles shined in response to Adagio. The day of the tournament was today so Adagio went to go get ready. She was determined to show the world that she was the strongest Blader in the world, but not only that but that she was even stronger with her Bey Union Achilles and her sisters by her side. Adagio looked out her bedroom window and smiled, the cold air making her hair blow.
"Let's go out there and win this!" Adagio continued to look out her window with a fire burning in her eyes with Achilles in her hands.
Preview: Now that both Aria and Adagio have overcome their obstacles the last one remaining is Sonata. Sonata must now fight with everything she has to show the bond between her and Spryzen. However, her challenger might just be the most difficult one out of them all.
Next time on Dazzling Bladers! Know Your Bey! Sonata Edition!
36. Know Your Bey! Sonata Edition!
Sonata was happily dreaming about unicorns and eating tacos, a typically normal dream of hers. She was playing around with the unicorns while eating her taco when all of a sudden Spryzen started to light up in her pocket. She quickly took Spyzen out of her pocket and looked at it.
"Spryzen?" The light only got brighter and brighter until it engulfed Sonata. When opening her eyes Sonata realized she was in a void with Spryzen looking down at her.
"Having a nice dream?" Spryzen asked looking down at Sonata.
"Spryzen! What are you doing here? But wait, the better question would be why did you summon me when I was having such a good dream?!" Sonata asked.
Spryzen opened its mouth. "I have summoned you because this is the perfect opportunity to see if you're worthy enough to wield me in Battle. You've said you wanted to become the best team together, then prove it to me."
"That's why you took me away from my amazing dream? Aw man." Sonata pouted. "Fineeee." Sonata whined. "I'll do what you want me to do to prove to you that I'm worthy of wielding you in Battle, as if I haven't already."
"In order to prove yourself to me, you must defeat that Blader in Battle." Sonata turns around and sees a Blader she had never seen before. The Blader had a jacket on with a V symbol on it, he had some sort of scar on his cheek and he had a bright smile pastured on his face. The Blader was none other than the Legendary Blader; Valt Aoi.
"Who's that?" Sonata asked, tilting her head in confusion.
Spryzen then spoke up. "He's a Blader from another universe, he's known as the Legend of Legends: Valt Aoi. He's by far the strongest Blader in his universe, he'll be a challenge for you indeed. How you fare against him has remained to be seen."
Sonata looked at Spryzen with a smirk. "And you think I have a chance at beating him? I don't even know who he is or his Bey is, what makes you think someone like me can beat someone known as a Legend of Legends?"
"You'll have to use all your Blading prowess and knowledge if you want to beat him. This challenge is supposed to bring out your full potential and bond with me to the utter max. Just because Valt is the strongest in his universe doesn't mean he's invincible, I know you can take him down Sonata." Spryzen said looking down at Sonata.
"Alright then, if you say so." Sonata takes out Spryzen and shows it off to Valt. "This right here is my Bey: Lord Spryzen! This is the Bey that you will fall to!" Valt takes out his Bey and shows off a Bey Sonata had never seen before, the Bey was none other than Ultimate Valtryek!
"H-Huh? I've never seen a Bey like that one before." Sonata continued to examine Ultimate Valtryek, its design looked like Derek's Sword Valtryek but a bit different.
"Like I said Valt is from a different universe, in his universe, they have different Beys than in your universe." Sonata turned her attention to Spryzen. "That is a Quad Bey, from the Quaddrive system. The Bey's name is Ultimate Valtryek, as seen it's a hyperactive fast Right spinning Attack Type Bey. Its speed and power are insane so you can't just brute force your way to victory, you'll have to play smart and logical."
"So I'm supposed to beat someone who has a Bey from a different generation? Who has a title to his name? And is said to be the strongest Blader in his universe?" Sonata looks down, her hair covering her eyes. She then looks up with a big smile on her face. "Alright! I'll take this so-called Legend of Legends if it's the last thing I do! Ultimate Valtryek will fall to Lord Spryzen!" Sonata then attaches her Bey to her launch, she watches as Valt does the same thing on the opposite side.
"Get ready and set! Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" They both yelled.
The two Beys take to the stadium, Sonata had put Spryzen in Right-spinning Defense Mode. Spryzen takes to the center while Ultimate Valtryek climbs up onto the upper deck. Sonata waits for Valtryek to make its move, a bit of sweat rolled down her forehead.
"Winged Launch!" Valtryek hits the wall on the upper deck and bounces toward Spryzen! Sonata gasps in surprise.
"Endure it Spryzen!" The two Beys collide but Spryzen gets sent flying from the strong blow. Spryzen goes flying onto the upper deck, it hits the edge of the stadium but remains in bounds. Spryzen started to wobble a bit, but nonetheless, it stayed strong. "We gotta end this now if we want even a chance at winning! Let's go Spryzen!!" Spryzen starts to speed up, a bit of gold starting to glow off of it. "Strike it down with Counter Break!" Spryzen's tip gained traction giving it an even stronger boost of speed and power.
"Ultimate Whip: V!" Valtryek raced towards Spryzen, the two Beys collide causing an explosion to occur. When the smoke cleared it showed Spryzen up in the air and flying down. It fell on the ground outside of the stadium, when it hit the ground, however, Spryzen burst into pieces. Valtryek stood proud doing a victory lap around the stadium. Sonata looked down in surprise, in just a matter of seconds she and Spryzen had been defeated. She looked back at Valt, so that was the power of the so-called Legend of Legends.
"Ultimate Valtryek with a Ring-Out Finish. That's one point awarded to Valt Aoi, making the score 1-0." A referee declared.
Sonata reached down and grabbed her Beys pieces and put them back together. She looked up at Valt as he stood tall, and Sonata backed up in fear. Spryzen was right, Valt was strong much stronger than her. Sonata started to shake, she was scared, Valt surpassed her. He had far more experience, a stronger bond, and just a better Blader than she was.
"I can't beat Valt. I failed... Spryzen... Adagio... Aria... I'm sorry." Sonata said as she looked down holding back tears.
"So that's it? You're just going to give up?" Sonata looked up, she knew that voice. She turned to where she heard the voice, in front of her was Adagio with a smile on her face.
Sonata looked at her in shock. "Adagio? What are you doing here?"
"She's not the only one here you idiot." Sonata turned her head once again and saw that it was Aria with her arms crossed.
Sonata looked at her other sister in shock as well. "Aria? What's going on here? How are you two in my dream? Are we having the same dream or something?"
"No Sonata. This is just an illusion, me and Aria aren't real. But are you serious about just giving up like that? This isn't the Sonata that we know and love. The Sonata we know is stronger than this, she wouldn't give up until the very end. She would find a way to win no matter who the opponent was." Sonata stared at Adagio with wide eyes, she was right this wasn't like her at all.
"If you can't defeat someone like Valt what makes you think you could take on me and Adagio? You said you wanted to be the best team in the world. So what if you don't have as much Blading prowess as Valt, or experience? You can still defeat Valt, maybe not surpass him but you can defeat him. You are Sonata, our sister, if anyone can take down this so-called Legend of Legends, it's you Sonata. So you better not let me or Adagio down, you hear me!" Aria yelled at her.
"Adagio... Aria... thank you, both of you. I'll be sure to take down Valt no matter what. Just you watch me and Spryzen are going to win this thing with a Burst Finish!" Adagio and Aria looked at Sonata and smiled, the two of them fading away leaving Sonata all alone. Sonata looked down at Spryzen her grip tightening. "I can't lose here, I can't let Adagio and Aria down!" Sonata attaches Spryzen to her launcher, a fire burning in her eyes. "No matter what I'll come out the victor!" Her aura bursting out like a wildfire, with Spryzen looming over her. Valt just smiles and attaches Valtryek onto his launcher, his aura also coming to life. The climax of the battle was coming to fruition.
"Get ready and set!" Just then Sonata had an idea.
"Three!" Sonata jumped back from the stadium.
"Two!" Sonata then made a heart shape with her hands as she winked
"One!" Sonata then spun around in a full 360 and launched herself toward the stadium once again.
"Let it Rip!" They both yelled.
The two Beys take to the stadium once again, Sonata had switched Spryzen into Left-spinning Stamina Mode. Both Spryzen and Valtryek raced toward the center the two Beys collide fighting for dominance.
"Push them back Spryzen! I know you can do it!" Spryzen was able to overpower Valtryek and sends Valtyrek flying back the way it came from. Valtryek climbs up the upper deck and races around for another attack. "Get ready Spryzen, it's going to hit you hard!"
"Ultimate Winged: V!" Valtryek hits the wall once again and uses the rebound to head straight toward Spryzen! Sonata watches as Valtryek came closer and closer to Spryzen but she wasn't going to let what happened in the first battle happen again.
"Let's take these guys out Spryzen! Lord Shield!" A bright circle appears around Spryzen, Valtryek hits Spryzen but instead, Valtyrek gets sent flying high into the air. Lord Shield was a technique that sent the opponent's attacks straight back at them, it was the ultimate counterattack. "It seems as though our defense is too much for you! We'll send each and every one of your attacks back your way!"
"Ultimate Dive!" Valtryek comes back flying down straight to Spryzen. Sonata sees this and gasps, but then she smiles. She was going to fight fire with fire.
"Burst them Spryzen! Use Counter Break!" Valtryek and Spryzen collide with one another. Both Beys go flying into the air, with Valtryek landing on the upper deck while Spryzen hits the edge of the stadium and goes flying into the air. Sonata looks in the air and smiles. "Spryzen! Change into Attack Mode!!" Spryzen's tip hits the edge of the stadium and switches it from Stamina Mode into Attack Mode giving it an extra boost of speed. "Let's go Spryzen!" Spryzen comes to life, its speed and power increase, a bit of gold coming off of it once again.
"Valtryek!" Valtryek also comes to life, its speed and power also increasing by the second. "Ultimate Whip: V!" Valtryek raced down the upper deck and headed to Spryzen. Sonata watched as Valtryek headed toward her, just then she started to hear voices again.
"Don't give up!" She turned and saw that it was Adagio.
"Fight until the very end!" Sonata then turned her head again to see that it was Aria.
"Right!" Sonata's hairpiece tore off, all of her hair coming loose. Spryzen started to speed up even more, its speed exceeding all speeds from before, its Hyper-Flux coming to life. "I mastered Hyper-Flux!!! Now go Spryzen!! Lord Whip: S!!!" Stealing a move from Valt, Spryzen used its own version of Ultimate Whip: V. The two Beys raced towards each other and once colliding a huge explosion happened not only that but it caused a whirlwind to come to life. Valt and Sonata lifted their arms to brace themselves from the high winds. "Go Spryzen! I believe in you!" Blue and gold shined bright in the stadium, it seemed as though neither Bey wanted to give up either. Both Valt and Sonata yelled out with their Bey's avatars right behind them.
When everything died out Valt and Sonata put their hands down and what they saw surprised them. Ultimate Valtryek was in pieces while Spryzen had come to a complete stop but was still in one piece. Sonata looked in shock but that shock was soon replaced with a bright smile. "WE WON!!"
"Lord Spryzen with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-1, Sonata is the winner!" The referee declared.
Sonata picked up Spryzen and smiled. "We did it Spryzen! We really did it, we took down Valt!" Sonata looked at Valt who smile and started to fade away. "Thank you for everything Valt! I hope one day we'll get to meet each other for real and Battle each other!" With that Valt smiled and faded away.
Spryzen then looked at Sonata. "Congratulations Sonata, you've proved yourself worthy of wielding me in Battle. I always knew you had what it took to defeat Valt. Now hurry up and wake up, it's the morning of the team tournament, you don't want to be late now do you?"
"Nope, we don't want that." Sonata looked at Spryzen one last time and smiled. "Thank you for everything Spryzen. Let's go out there with Adagio and Aria and prove to the world that we're the best team in the entire world." Spryzen only looked at Sonata, but Sonata could tell that Spryzen was happy as well. With that, a bright light once again engulfed her, when she opened her eyes she saw that she was in her room on her bed.
She quickly got up and got dressed, she was excited after all. It was the morning of the team tournament after all. Sonata picked up Spryzen and started making her way out of her room. She looked down at Spryzen with a smile on her face.
"With the help of Valt, we finally mastered Hyper-Flux! Now I'm not left behind, unlike Adagio and Aria who already achieved their special Flux." Sonata stopped and looked down at Spryzen. "But even still, with our newfound Hyper-Flux can and will defeat people like Gabby or Leon or even Adagio or Aria?" Spryzen shined bright in response. "You're right Spryzen! Together we can do anything and defeat anyone!" Sonata smiled and opened her door, when she opened her door however Adagio and Aria also opened their doors at the exact same time.
The three girls look at each other and then laugh. It seems they were so close they started doing things at the same time. The Dazzlings walk downstairs to eat breakfast and then head out to the tournament grounds. Today was a big day for all of them but no matter what they were determined to show everyone that they were the best team out there. The three girls look at one another one last time and together they lift their Beys in the air.
"Let's do this!!" Adagio, Aria, and Sonata all yelled at once, their Beys shining in response to their owner's voices.
Preview: After the Dazzlings have proved themselves worthy of their Beys, the team tournament is now underway. There the girls must show the world just how amazing of a team they are! But they won't be the only ones there who want to win, they will have to face off with other teams who want the victory as well!
Next time on Dazzling Bladers! The Start Of The Team Tournament!
37. The Start Of The Team Tournament!
Adagio, Aria, and Sonata stood in front of the grounds of where the team tournament would be held. People from all over had gathered to watch this once-in-a-lifetime tournament. The girls watched as the crowd of people walk into the stadium, it looked as though the whole country had come to see the upcoming match-ups.
"I guess we should head in, they did say that all the teams had to be at the main stage." Adagio said. Aria and Sonata nodded. Although they weren't going to admit it all three of them were nervous. "Remember, we do this as a team. Win or lose. Let's go out there as sisters and show everyone who we are." Adagio put her hand out. Aria and Sonata did the same, the three girls looked at each other in the eyes.
"Let's go Dazzlings!" All three girls threw their hands in the air. With that, the girls walked into the stadium and headed to the main stage. Upon arriving the Dazzlings realized just how many teams were competing in the tournament.
"And here I thought there were only going to be a few teams, but there has have to be a hundred teams here." Aria said, looking around at the number of people on the main stage. Sonata was about to tease Aria and ask if she was scared but a voice stopped her.
"Hello everyone! Today marks the beginning of the team tournament! Teams from all over have gathered to compete, all of them having the same mindset, to be declared the best team in the entire world! Only one team will topple all the others, which one out of these teams will win it all? Only time will be able to tell!" The audience roared in anticipation for the tournament to get underway. "Each match will be randomized so with that said if you'll turn your heads to the overhead monitor the first match will be randomized." Names of the teams were shown being randomized, and as it came to a stop two names were shown overhead for everyone to see. The Dazzling's eyes widened, they couldn't believe what they were seeing. "And there we have it! The First Match of the team tournament will be between the Dazzlings going up against the Bulls. With that, let the team tournament commence!" Once again the audience exploded into cheers as the sound of fireworks could be heard.
"Who knew we would be in the First Round." Sonata said with her hand on her hip. She then saw the other team staring her and her sisters down, she quickly hid behind Adagio. "A-Adagio.. they're looking at us. I-I'm scared." Adagio looked over and saw the Bulls, and she and Aria quickly stared back. The Dazzlings and the Bulls eyed each other from opposite sides. All the other teams walked off the stage as the Dazzlings and the Bulls walked over to their places. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata then got into a group huddle.
"Alright, what's the game plan, group leader?" Adagio looked over at Sonata with a smile, while Aria did the same.
Sonata started to get flustered. "Um... well... we go out there and win! Adagio since you're the Champion you'll go out there first and give us an easy lead. Aria you'll go second and then I'll go last, we'll win before they knew what hit them."
Adagio let out a small chuckle. "Good plan, leader. You have my word, I'll go out there and win!" With that Adagio headed up to the stadium, however, the stadium wasn't the normal Hyper Stadium everyone had been accustomed to. Adagio looked at the stadium in surprise. "What's this? Where's the regular Hyper Stadium?"
"For this special event we'll be using a special Stadium, give a warm welcome to the newly made Hyper Warp Stadium. Beys will be able to gain some insane acceleration, as well as its steep slope. Awesome battles are sure to be brought to life from this stadium." The announcer said.
Adagio and her opponent got into their places as they got ready for the call. "This Battle will be a first to two points. The first team to achieve three points will be declared the victors! Now First Battle!" Everyone went quiet as the First Match of the tournament was about to go underway. "Now get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both Beys took to the stadium, and Achilles raced up the acceleration ramp. "Go Achilles! Pick up some speed and take them out!" Achilles ran up the ramp and then raced down the ramp picking up more and more speed. "End this in one hit! Unison Breaker!"
"Attack!" Both Beys collide and within a second the opponent's Bey burst.
"Union Achilles with a Burst Finish! With a score of 2-0, Adagio wins! Dazzlings lead 1-0!" The crowd cheers as Adagio walks back to the sidelines while Aria stood up.
Adagio side-eyed Aria. "Better go out there and win."
"Trust me Adagio, I will. All I'll need is five seconds and this match will be history." With that Aria walked up to the main stage, she looked at her opponent. Nothing too noteworthy to look at. "Apocalypse, don't worry this won't take long at all." Aria smiled while her opponent shook just by seeing Aria's crazy smile.
"It's a Burst! In just one hit Aria has shown her overwhelming power!" Aria stood there with her arms crossed, while her opponent was on his knees in shock at Aria's power. "The Dazzlings are now one victory away from winning the match! Will things end in the third round or will the Bulls make the comeback of the century!"
Aria walked back to the sidelines. "Well Sonata, me and Adagio did what we had to do, now all we need is for you to win. Make this fast, show them the strength of the Dazzlings."
"Trust me I'll finish this much faster than you did Aria. All I will need is three seconds." With that Sonata hopped off to the stadium.
"Do you think she'll really be able to finish this in three seconds?" Aria asked turning to face Adagio.
"This is Sonata we're talking about. Once she puts something in her mind she'll do it. Just watch, Sonata will finish this in three seconds." Adagio then sighed. "Looks like we won, it's a shame though, I was kinda looking forward to an action-packed Battle."
Aria puts one of her hands on Adagio's shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm sure the later we get into the Tournament the more intense Battles we'll get into. All of our friends are in this tournament, people like Leon, Gabby, and Dean, I'm sure we'll get to face them sooner or later."
"I hope the time comes sooner rather than later or else I might go crazy." Aria just laughs while Adagio puts her head down.
"What are you guys talking about?" Aria and Adagio turn their heads quickly to see Sonata in front of them with her hands behind her back along with a bright smile on her face.
"Sonata your back already?!" They yelled.
"Yep! I sure am. I told you I would finish the battle in three seconds. You two must have been so involved in your conversation that you must not have realized." The Dazzlings all smiled while they left the sidelines to get to the stands.
"With the Dazzlings winning 3-0, they will be the first team to be moving on to the next round. Now then, on to the next match." Team names once again are shown spinning, once it comes to a stop it shows two other team names. "The Second Round will be between the Shooting Stars going up against the Dragonslayers." When the two teams get down to the main stage, the Dazzlings were surprised to see who was down there.
Sonata looked at the team in surprise. "Gabby... Leon... and Dean? Working together!"
Adagio also looked at the team in shock. "That's some team combination if I've ever seen one. Dean with his Master Devolos which is a Balance Type, Leon with his Luinor which is an Attack Type, and Gabby with her Royal Genesis which is a Defense Type. We should watch these three closely."
Aria shook her head. "You're wrong. Gabby evolved her Bey. It's no longer Royal Genesis, it goes by Eclipse Genesis now. And it's much stronger than Royal Genesis use to be, its power is off the charts."
Adagio crossed her arms. "I'll be the one to decide that, as the Champion, I'm the strongest no one else."
"And it's over with a Burst! Gabby and her Bey Eclipse Genesis have given her team its third and final point. The Dragonslayers will be moving on to the Second Round." The referee declared as the crowd cheered.
Gabby looked down at her opponent. "And you call yourselves the Shooting Stars, you're no star. You've fallen to Eclipse Genesis, a star can do nothing to an eclipse. Give up while you still can, I spared you and your Bey today. But tomorrow's a different day, you might not be so lucky next time."
"Just like I thought, they would win. Sonata, Aria, we better buckle up because we're going to be in for the ride of our lives in this tournament." Aria and Sonata shook their heads, they knew Adagio was telling the truth.
It was like that for the rest of the day, with countless Battles with teams winning and losing. Every team gives it its all until the very end.
"Bushin Ashindra with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Athena wins! Meaning she and the Stars will be advancing forward." Adagio looked and saw Bael, Phoebe, and Athena from above celebrating their victory. Athena looked up and her eyes caught Adagio's. They both look at each other and smile.
"Just wait Athena, you and me will get our Battle sooner or later. But in your case, you better hope it's later. However, your inevitable loss against me will happen no matter how hard you try to not let it happen." Aria and Sonata just look at each other and laughed at how serious Adagio was getting.
"You're not even the one fighting yet your so fired up. Dagi I think you should watch the match-ups instead of talking." Adagio looks at Aria and Sonata, a small blush growing on her face as she looked away from them furthering their laughter.
Before the Dazzlings knew it, it was time for the Second Round of the tournament. However, it was nothing too interesting for them as they were able to 3-0 their opponents once again. The Dazzlings were currently walking down the hall to get to the standings, while walking they decided to have a group chat.
"We've been able to defeat our opponents with no trouble at all. We're going to be heading into the Third Round soon, we know teams like the Stars and the Dragonslayers are moving on but there might be other teams we've yet to see to make them worthy of our attention. The competition will only get stronger the further we go, so we better get ready for anything that comes." Adagio spoke as she looked at her two sisters who agreed.
Aria nodded her head. "If we keep this momentum up, the next few rounds should be a piece of cake. I'm glad we decided to team up, with our bond with one another and our Beys we probably have the highest chance at winning this thing."
Sonata nodded her head with a smile. "Yeah! We have Dagi the Champion, me with Spryzen, and you Ari, with Apocalypse. But... I do worry about Gabby and her team. I know I shouldn't be too worried but I'm a little scared to Battle them if we do."
"Trust me Sonata me and Aria feel the same." Aria shakes her head agreeing with Adagio. "It took me everything and plus some to defeat Gabby, Leon has given both me and Aria problems in the past, and even though Dean might not look like a challenge at first glance but he's stronger than he looks. A Defense Type, an Attack Type, and a Balance Type, they have a wide variation in their hands."
Aria nodded her head. "The same thing stands for the Stars. Athena, Bael, and Phoebe are all strong Bladers as well. We may have beaten them in the past but their not ones to underestimate. They've only gotten stronger, so they're bound to give us more of a challenge than in the past."
"Valex and his team could give us a challenge possibly. With him, his brother Venus, and Frizzle. I may have beaten Frizzle and Valex before but it wasn't a walk in the park. Geez... now I'm even more nervous than I was before." Sonata felt a hand touch her shoulder, she looked up to see Adagio looking down at her.
"Sonata as long as we're together the three of us can do anything we wish for." Adagio reached into her pocket and pulled out Achilles. Aria did the same as she pulled out Apocalypse. "We are the Dazzlings, we can overcome any obstacle that stands in our way. Achilles, Apocalypse, Spryzen, me, Aria, and you, Sonata. The six of us will win this thing, we'll be the strongest team ever." Adagio and Aria put out their Beys, and Sonata caught on and took out Spryzen. The three of them did a Bey bump, and the three of them knew that no matter what came their way they would be able to overcome it. As a team!
Preview: After winning more matches with no difficulty the Dazzlings have arrived at the Quarter-Finals. Standing with them are the eight strongest teams in the world, and tension rises as the Battles get more intense. The Dragonslayers only continue to prove themselves as a menace, while the Dazzlings are paired against some strong opponents. Will their opponents prove to be too much for them or will they be able to surpass them and move on to the Semi-Finals?
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Annihilation! To The Semi-Finals!
39. Dazzling Power! Give It Your All!
It was later that night and Aaron was at his house, along with him were also with the shadow Bladers that fought the Dazzlings earlier that day. However, they lost the Battle and were eliminated from the tournament. Aaron looked down at the shadow Bladers with a furious glare.
"I gave you one job and that was to take down the Dazzlings!" Aaron yelled as the shadow Bladers bowed to him as they looked down at the ground. "I gave you a chance and you failed! Leave! I never want to see you again! Out of sight and never return!" The shadow Bladers nodded as they ran off. Aaron sat back down in his seat and groaned as he looked out his window. "Gabby better not fail me or else coming to this universe will be for nothing."
It was the next day and four teams remained in the tournament. The Dragonslayers, Stars, Powers, and the Dazzlings remained. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata thought about the other three teams and how incredible each team was. Soon enough the Semi-Finals would begin, an important match for all four teams who were left still in the running. If they won they would make it to the Finals, however, if they lost they would be knocked out and lose the chance at being the best team in the world. The Dazzlings were currently in their room thinking of all that had happened.
"I hate to admit it... but every time I try to think of all the possibilities, the outcome most likely leads to the Dragonslayers advancing to the Finals." Adagio had her arms crossed as she sat down in a chair. "Gabby, Leon, and Dean, all are very powerful. Gabby being the second strongest to me, Leon being the fourth strongest, and then Dean being the sixth strongest. Going up against Joy, Derek, and Lance, I think this match is obvious at who's going to win."
"I agree, Joy was only able to win one match in the tournament. Meanwhile, Derek had to forfeit out of the tournament because Gabby destroyed his Bey, and then there's Lance. There's nothing much about him other than the fact that he uses Zone Luinor as well." Aria said as she put her hand on her chin as she thought.
"I'm sure if they try hard enough they could beat Gabby and her team. But then again... if they win it'll make winning in the Finals even better!" Sonata smiled at the thought of battling the Dragonslayers in the Finals. Aria and Adagio smiled at their sister until they were interrupted.
"The First Match of the Semi-Finals is about to begin! The Dragonslayers and the Powers will be facing off for a chance at the Finals. Who will land a spot in the Finals and have the opportunity at becoming the world's best team?" The announcer said. The Dazzlings looked at one another and stood up.
"Looks like will better get going, we shouldn't miss the chance at seeing who will might they face in the Finals." Aria and Sonata nodded their heads as the three walked to the stands. When they got there, however, they could already hear the cheers from the crowd. The two teams had just arrived on the main stage and had already chosen their first-round picks. The Dragonslayers went with Gabby while the Powers went with Joy. The Dazzlings sat down as the First Battle was about to begin.
"First battle! Get ready and set!" The referee announced.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone in the stadium yelled out.
With that, the First Match had begun. Eclipse Genesis took center stage as Judgement Joker raced around the stadium aiming for a chance to strike. With a swift movement, Joker quickly started its bombardment of attacks. Genesis held strong dishing out Joker's fierce blows. Gabby yawned as Joy gritted her teeth seeing as Joker's attacks weren't even making Genesis budge.
"Send them flying Joker! Fate's Judgement!" Joy cried out.
Joker slammed into Genesis, forcing it out of the center. Genesis raced up the slope as it started picking up speed. Gabby smiled as Genesis started to shine brightly from Superior-Flux. Joy saw this and started to sweat, she had to end things and fast.
"Genesis!" Genesis shined brighter as picked up even more speed. "End this with Eclipse Whip! Show this nobody what a real attack looks like!" Genesis raced off the slope and headed toward Joker.
"Joker!" Joker started to pick up speed as it raced toward Genesis. "Once again use Fate's Judgement!"
Joker and Genesis collided with one another, and both Joy and Gabby watched as their Beys fought each other. However, Genesis showed dominance as it sent Joker flying as it then burst into pieces. Joy looked in terror as Gabby smiled at her victory.
"Eclipse Genesis with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Gabby wins! The Dragonslayers lead by 1-0." The crowd cheered as Gabby and Joy retrieved their Beys.
"Try as you might your attacks couldn't even faze me and Genesis. All you did was try to delay the inevitable but even that couldn't work. Just do yourself a favor and give up, you can't win anyways." With that Gabby left and returned to her team.
Adagio looked down at the scene. "As I suspected, Gabby emerged victorious. Now Dean and Leon just have to win and their spot in the Finals will be assured. Joy tried her best but Genesis is just too strong of an opponent to beat."
Sonata also looked down at the stadium. "Derek and Lance can turn things around. I know they can, Leon and Dean aren't as scary as they seem to be. Luinor's biggest weakness is its own heavy weight. That only makes it lose stamina faster, dodge its attacks and deplete its stamina. Or use that weight against it and make it come unbalanced. Devolos however... I can't think of a weakness."
Aria looked at Sonata and then at the stadium. "Derek and Lance will have to think hard if they want to win."
The second-round picks had been chosen, Lance and Leon would be facing off.
Adagio crossed her arms. "So it's a showdown of brothers and Luinor's. This is going to be an interesting match, that's for sure. We know how Leon Bladers while Lance is a whole other story. Lance will either catch Leon off guard or Leon will brute force his victory like he normally does."
"This match could go either way, only time will tell. But now we know that the Third Round will be Derek and Dean going against one another. That too could go either way. Dragon vs Devolos, a nail-biter these two matches will be indeed." Aria said as she looked over at Adagio who nodded her head.
"Go, Lance! Go Leon! Give it your all!" Sonata yelled.
Leon stared at his brother while his brother smiled. "Brother, I expect a good Battle from you."
"As do I." Lance said. "However I have every intention of winning this match. Afterward, my team will get the last two points making up victorious."
Leon smirked. "We'll see about that because I don't plan on losing either. My team shall win this match and afterward win the whole tournament showing that we're the best!"
Sonata smiled brightly. "Both of them are fired up, I'm so excited for this match that I might just jump out of my seat."
Aria looked at her sister as she rolled her eyes. "Please refrain yourself from not doing that Sonata. I don't want us to somehow get in trouble by you being an idiot like always."
"First Battle! Get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both Luinor's took to the stadium as they immediately rushed in to attack. The two fought trying to one-up the other's attacks, Leon and Lance watched as their identical Beys slammed into each other again and again. Finally, they were both sent back as Lance's Luinor raced after Leon's Luinor who was racing up the slope. Both Beys picked up speed as they shot down the slope.
"Zone Slam!" Lance and Leon yelled.
The two Attack Types collided as once again they were sent flying. Leon's Luinor hit the stadium wall while Lance's Luinor was sent up into the air but then came down at the slope. It hit the wall as it steadied itself, charging toward its foe.
Lance smirked. "It's time Luinor! Zone Hammer!"
Lance's Luinor rushed over to Leon's Luinor sending it flying out of the stadium as it hit the ground.
"Lance's Zone Luinor with a Ring-Out Finish! The score is 1-0!" The referee yelled.
Adagio looked impressed. "So Leon trails, seems as though Lance's Luinor overpowered Leon's Luinor by strategy. Now the question is, will Leon be able to turn this match around or is Lance's victory already assured?"
Aria looked over at her sister. "Guess that'll matter on how Leon battles in this next round."
"Second Battle! Get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both Luinor made it to the stadium once again. Lance's Luinor charged at Leon's Luinor however it dodged the attack, Leon smiled while Lance's looked shocked. This happened over and over again, as Leon's Luinor kept dodging all of Lance's Luinor's vicious attacks.
Leon smiled at his brother. "Attack all you like, you'll never catch up to my Luinor's speed."
"Quit running away you coward! Luinor! Hit it with Zone Slam!" Lance yelled.
Lance's Luinor sped up and finally unleashed a strike to Leon's Luinor sending it flying sky high. Lance smirked, his Luinor then flew up the slope hitting the upper wall. Thanks to that Lance's Luinor was then sent flying toward Leon's Luinor who was now starting to come down.
"This ends right here and now! Finish them off for good Luinor!" Lance cried out.
While Lance was looking at his Luinor he didn't notice the smile form on Leon's face. As Lance's Luinor came flying at Leon's Luinor, Leon's Luinor was able to stabilize itself in midair.
"Your right dear brother, this match will end right here and now. In which will be in your defeat! Now Zone Hammer!" Leon yelled.
Leon's Luinor slammed into Lance's Luinor, and thanks to the added heavy weight it pushed not only itself but also Lance's Luinor toward the stadium. The two Beys came crashing down from the sky and crashed into the stadium causing an explosion to brew.
"Luinor!" Lance and Leon put their hands up to cover their faces from the smoke due to the explosion.
The Dazzlings were in shock at what they had just witnessed. Everyone in the stadium watched and waited for the explosion to die down. As the smoke cleared it showed two Beys, one Luinor who had come to a stop and another Luinor who was in pieces as it had suffered a burst. The crowd was silent not knowing what the call was going to be.
"After further evaluation, Leon's Luinor got the Burst Finish. With a final score of 2-1, Leon is the winner! The Dragonslayers now are up 2-0." The crowd cheered as Leon smiled all the way back to his team while Lance growled as he walked back to his teammates.
Aria sighed as she looked down at the stadium with her arms crossed. "Looks like the momentum has swung over to the Dragonslayers, now the question is can they keep hold of the momentum or will the Powers be able to make a comeback? The next match will be between Derek and Dean, either Dean wins it all and takes his team to the finish line or Derek can hopefully try to turn things around."
Sonata sighed. "But even if Dean loses, Gabby will most likely come out in Match Four and win the whole enchilada. I think the Dragonslayers have this match set in stone, it's only a matter of time before they win."
"Hate to admit it but I agree. Come on girls, let's head down to our room and do some last-second practice and strategizing." Aria and Sonata followed their sister as they got up and headed to their practice room.
When they got to their room they looked at the TV in their room. The crowd was cheering as Devolos and Dragon collided with one another sending them sent back. The two Beys came back and slammed into one another however Devolos was able to best Dragon sending it flying out of the stadium.
"Master Devolos with a Ring-Out Finish! The score is now 1-0." The crowd cheered as the Dazzlings started getting to work. Adagio and Aria were having a practice round as Sonata was writing in her journal coming up with plans to take on Athena and her team.
As the Dazzlings did this they could hear that the Second Battle had begun. Dragon had Devolos at its mercy as it kept hitting it with its Dragon Launch. Devolos was able to get out of Dragon's flurry of attacks and raced away.
"Take it down Dragon!" Derek yelled. "Ultimate Break!"
"Don't let down! Meet their attack with Master Upper!" Dean yelled.
The two Beys collide but this time, however, Dragon was able to overcome Devolos, as Devolos was now the one sent flying out of the stadium.
"Command Dragon with a Ring-Out Finish! The score is all tied up with a scoring of 1-1." The crowd cheered once again, as the two boys retrieved their Beys. The Dazzlings were all sitting down at a table going over Sonata's plan, while Dean and Derek got prepared for the Third and Final Round.
Aria looked at Sonata's plan, and she was impressed. "Hate to admit it but this is actually a solid plan. With how all their previous Battles have been this plan could counter everything they throw at us."
"I know right?" Sonata said with a smile. "Athena will most likely start things off, so I'll go first since I've beaten her in the past. Then Adagio and you can deal with Phoebe or Bael, either way, you've both beaten them before so you shouldn't have any trouble now."
Adagio frowned. "But they're stronger than they use to be, no doubt Phoebe and Bael have probably gotten stronger. It won't be as easy as it was back in the tournament."
"Oh please Adagio, you can do this." Aria said as she rolled her eyes. "They're not the only ones that have gotten stronger, me and you have become stronger too. If anything we'll have an easier chance of beating them than before. We'll win before they know what hit them and then move on to the Finals and win there too!"
Adagio and Sonata smiled as their attention drifted to the screen. Dragon and Devolos were clashing with one another over and over, neither was letting go for even a second. Dragon had just unleashed a Dragon Launch while Devolos fought back with its Master Upper. Both Beys were sent flying, as Devolos raced up the slope while Dragon waited for its prey to come to it.
"Let's go Devolos!" Devolos activated its Hyper-Flux as it sped down the slope toward Dragon.
"Show them you're the best! Go Dragon!" Dragon sped up as it too activated its Hyper-Flux. Dragon changed its course and its trajectory headed toward Devolos.
"This is the end of our Battle brother! You've always been the stronger, better, older, brother of mine. I've always been in your shadow, but I refuse to be in your shadow no more! I'll surpass you right here and now! Take them out Devolos! Master Smash!"
"Dean... I never realized." Derek looked at his brother in surprise. "However, I refuse to lose to you! Now Dragon! Ultimate Break!"
Devolos and Dragon collided with one another. The force was so strong that both were at a standstill with their equal strength. Dean and Derek let out a battle cry as both Devolos and Dragon started pushing harder until finally, they were both at their limits. Both Beys were sent flying as they then both burst into the pressure. The crowd went silent for the referee's call. Dean and Derek stared at him waiting for the inevitable call.
"Master Devolos with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 3-1, Dean is the winner! The Dragonslayers will with a score of 3-0, advancing them to the Finals!" The crowd cheered as the Dragonslayers walked out of the arena, while the Powers sadly left after losing so close to the Finals.
The Dazzlings watched what had happened and got up. Adagio then took charge. "Guess it's time for us to go out there and give it our all."
The three girls walked into the stage while their opponents did the same. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata stared down at Athena, Bael, and Phoebe, the stare-down between the Dazzlings and the Stars had already begun and the fights had yet to begin.
"Adagio!" Athena yelled. "Today is the day that you and I will finally settle the score to see who is better! Get ready because Achilles will burst to my all mighty Ashindra!"
Adagio smiled."Try as you might you can't beat me! Me, Achilles, Sonata, and Aria will win this match!"
"We'll see about that." Athena said as she glared at Adagio.
Sparks flew as the girls looked at each other. Their Bey's avatars were behind them along with Aria and Sonata and Bael and Phoebe in the back also staring down at each other. The Second Round of the Semi-Finals was going to be action-packed and the crowd knew it.
Preview: The Match with the Stars and the Dazzlings has begun. Sonata, Adagio, and Aria must fight with everything they have if they want to make it to the Finals. But Athena won't make things easy as she has upped her game since the tournament. Bael and Phoebe also fight with everything they've got but is it enough against the Dazzlings? The stage is set as the Second Semi-Final Match goes underway.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Operation: Make It To The Finals!
40. Operation: Make It To The Finals!
Currently, both teams were in group huddles going over their plans. Athena and Adagio would look away and stare at each other for a split second before returning to the discussion. The plan was simple, first Sonata would go up, then Adagio, and finally Aria. Sonata had thought hard about her opponents and she was almost certain about what they were going to do.
"Athena will go first as she is the leader, me and Spryzen will go out there and get us the first point. If Athena fails they'll most likely go with their second strongest, that being Phoebe. Adagio'll go out there next with Achilles and take Pegasus out, which leaves Bael and his Balkesh. It shouldn't be a problem for Aria and Apocalypse and by the end of this we'll have won 3-0 and make it to the Finals!" Sonata said, proud of her ingenious plan.
"It's a good plan Nata, but what if one of us loses? We need a backup plan if something goes wrong." Adagio said, her hand rubbing her chin.
"Dagi think about it. Ever since this tournament has begun our go-to plan has been for you to go up first. Athena probably knows you'll go first so she'll want to Battle you. Having Nata go first will surprise her and catch her off guard. I say we go with the plan, if something goes wrong we'll deal with it when the time comes. Just stay positive, fight hard, and go out there and win! Win and go to the Finals and win there too!" Aria said, pumping her hand in the air. Adagio simply nodded her head but she couldn't help and feel something bad was going to happen.
"Alright! Time for me to go out there and get our first victory! See you girls in a while!" Sonata waved her hand to her sisters and headed to the stadium to face her opponent, Athena. "Wait, what?"
The person standing before Sonata wasn't Athena, it was Bael. Bael smiled at Sonata's shocked expression. Aria gritted her teeth while Adagio sighed. "I was afraid this was going to happen, now the whole plan had shifted. Now that means one of us will have to face Athena along with Phoebe."
"It doesn't matter, we can still do this. If we can beat Bael then so can Sonata, and facing Phoebe shouldn't be a problem. Athena is the one we have to worry about the most." Aria tightened her fist. 'Stay strong Sonata, regardless of the plan messing up you can still win.'
"I didn't think you would be the first one to come up, I thought for sure your leader would come out. Or is she conserving her energy against one of my other sisters, since I've already beaten her before?" Sonata smiled, trying to get Bael angry. But Bael kept his normal expression, in fact, he smiled.
"You'll face Athena sure enough, but in order to go up against her you'll have to go up against me!" Bael showed off Balkesh, and Sonata followed showing her Spryzen.
"The First Battle of the Second Semi-Finals Match is about to begin. Now First Battle!" Sonata and Bael smiled while they attached their Beys to their launchers.
'He's going to head toward the center, I have to make sure he doesn't reach the center and up his defenses.' Sonata had put Spryzen in counterclockwise Attack Mode. 'I have to put trust in Spryzen's attacks and hope Spryzen can break through Balkesh's defense.'
"Now get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both Beys took to the stadium, Balkesh tried to take the center but Spryzen rushed in and attacked Balkesh sending it flying. Bael gasped while Sonata smiled, Balkesh had come down from the sky and before getting a second to recover Spryzen quickly raced over to it and struck Balkesh with a barrage of blows.
"Gotta end this fast! Come on Spryzen! We mustn't let Balkesh's defenses increase, take them out!" Spryzen hit Balkesh once again pushing it back and sending it up the slope. Balkesh quickly gained speed as Bael smiled.
"Big mistake Sonata! This match is already over, me and Balkesh have won! End this Balkesh! Now Dusk Crash!" Balkesh came flying down the slope and collided with Spryzen sending it flying. Sonata smiled as Spryzen came back as its driver started to gain traction from the stadium floor.
"Counter Break!" Spryzen rushed in and hit Balkesh making Balkesh's become a perfect circle. It then started to head to the center but Sonata wasn't to let that happen. "Not on my watch stop them before they reach the center!"
"Don't let them hit you! Dusk Wing!" Balkesh was able to block Spryzen's attack pushing it back as it reached the center. "Perfect! Now Dusk Circle!" Sonata gritted her teeth as Spryzen attacked Balkesh however all of its strikes were getting parried. "This ends here! Balkesh!" Spryzen hit Balkesh again and was sent reeling backward, Sonata gasped as she couldn't find a way to beat Balkesh.
'Balkesh's core is loose!' Sonata gasped as she heard the voice. 'Aim for the center.'
'The center?' Sonata looked and saw the center. 'I see it!'
"Leave it to me! Spryzen!" Spryzen gained speed as it started to fade in and out of Hyper-Flux. Spryzen rushed forward and hit Balkesh dead in the center causing it to burst, Bael gasped as Sonata smiled brightly.
"Lord Spryzen with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Sonata wins! The Dazzlings are up 1-0!" The crowd cheered as Bael and Sonata returned to their sides.
Adagio smiled. "That was a close one but still good job Nata, now it's my turn!"
Sonata nodded. "Go out there and get us our second win Adagio!" Adagio nodded as she headed to the stadium.
"With you getting our first victory, if Adagio can win us the second match as well we will have the momentum. Then me and Apocalypse will go out there and win." Aria took out the Eclipse Armor Gabby had given her but she shook her head. 'Not yet, it's still too early to use it.'
Adagio had arrived at the stadium to see her opponent was Phoebe. 'So my opponent is Phoebe, so Aria will be facing Athena, odd but interesting. Against Pegasus, Attack Mode will have the advantage. However...' Adagio quickly attached the sword to Achilles and put it in Stamina Mode. 'I have a new move that might catch her off guard, I was going to use it for Athena but this seems like a perfect time.'
"Adagio get ready 'cause I'm winning this thing!" Phoebe attached Pegasus to its launcher as she got ready.
"Funny. I was going to say the same thing." Adagio said as she too attached her Bey to her launcher.
"Second Match! First Battle! Get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Pegasus and Achilles took to the stadium, Achilles rushed forward and took center stage as Pegasus quickly followed it.
"Nice try but we won't let you hold down the center! Feather Storm!" Pegasus created a raging storm, the storm picking up Achilles sending it into the storm. The storm tossed and turned Achilles, the attack was obviously much stronger than the last time they battled. "Now release them!" The storm subsided as Achilles came down still in the center, however, its stamina had fallen and it began to wobble. Still Adagio kept a smile seeing her plan was working.
'The stronger you are the better for me. After all the harder you hit us the more this attack will hurt you!' Adagio looked at Phoebe and smiled. "Is that all you got? I thought they called you the Princess of Beyblade, I guess you don't stand a chance against the Champion!"
"You want to see an attack? I'll show you an attack! Harmonic Thunder!" Pegasus hit Achilles sending it flying up the slope. However instead of coming down, it stayed at the very top, Adagio smiled as Phoebe tilted her head. "Um, now what?"
"Now you lose! Achilles!" Achilles quickly rushed down picking up speed as it burst into Hyper-Flux. "Take them out with Unison Pendulum!" Achilles came down and hit Pegasus sending it flying, Phoebe gasped as Adagio only smiled. Pegasus started to come down but just like a pendulum, Achilles came back around and hit Pegasus again before it could land. The damage was too much for it as it was sent flying and burst!
"No way!" Phoebe looked at her Bey in surprise.
"Unison Achilles with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Adagio is the winner! The Dazzlings now lead by 2-0!" The crowd cheered as Aria and Sonata hugged each other bouncing up and down. Aria quickly realized what she was doing and stopped hugging Sonata and looked away blushing as Sonata laughed.
She then saw her sister and ran over to hug her. "You were amazing Dagi! That move was so cool! And not only that but now we're only one battle away from moving to the Finals!"
"Yes, but look at who she's up against. Athena is no doubt stronger than she was the last time we fought her. And Aria is at the disadvantage going based off on Type. To beat Athena you'll have to take her down fast. Have Apocalypse hit Ashindra fast and hard, so she can't get a chance to win?" Aria nodded as she looked down at Apocalypse before she headed to the stadium.
In the stands, Gabby was watching the matches. 'So the so-called Champion and her weakling of a sister won their matches against a bunch of nobodies big surprise. Guess me and my team will be facing the Dazzlings in the Finals. Gabby then looked down at Genesis. 'And when the time comes... I'll destroy every single one of them and destroy any hopes of them winning!
"Go luck, Ari..." Adagio put her hand on Sonata's shoulder to calm her down, not doubting this Battle would be important for them. Sonata took a deep breath as she then turned to Adagio. "Even if she loses we'll be alright, right? We can afford to lose a match, but that still doesn't mean I want Aria to lose."
Adagio looked down at Sonata and smiled. "Aria will be okay, just believe in her."
Athena and Aria got into their places as they stared each other down. "Weren't expecting me I bet. A shame really, your Apocalypse doesn't stand a chance against my Ashindra. Give up and let me face Adagio, that's all that really matters here."
Aria smirked. "Sorry, but if you want to get to her, you'll have to go through me first. Which by the way won't be happening."
"Third Match! First Battle! Get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Ashindra and Apocalypse took to the stadium, Ashindra tried heading to the center but just like Bael and Sonata's match, Aria didn't let that happen. Apocalypse came rushing in and knocked them back starting to unleash a flurry of attacks. 'Got to end this fast just like Adagio mentioned.'
"Hit it with Omega Blast!" Apocalypse rushed forward and hit Ashindra sending it back. Aria smiled while Athena kept a calm face. Ashindra was able to stay steady as it started to come back for a counterattack.
"It's time! Tower Counter!" Ashindra collided with Apocalypse sending Apocalypse flying however Aria wasn't worried. Apocalypse landed back at the stadium but it started to go wild as it crashed into the walls of the stadium. Athena looked confused but then looked at Aria who was smiling. 'What is she up to?' Apocalypse kept hitting the walls until the middle of its layer turned red, Aria smiled as Apocalypse bounced off the wall and headed toward Ashindra.
"Time to end this match! Final Blast!" Apocalypse clashed with Ashindra throwing it into the air. Athena gasped as Aria smiled, Ashindra started to go down and landed in the speed crater. Ashindra started to gain speed as it started speeding up faster and faster. Aria gasped as Athena smiled, Ashindra suddenly shoot out of the crater and jumped after its foe.
"Sorry Aria, but me and Ashindra are winning this thing! After that, me and my team will advance to the Finals and win there too! In the end, I'll have surpassed Adagio!" Ashindra started to shine turning bright gold. Aria, Adagio, and Sonata all gasped at the sight. Ashindra then collided with Apocalypse, the force was so strong that Apocalypse burst to the pressure. Aria gasped as parts of Apocalypse hit the stadium floor.
Aria looked up at Athena in surprise. "No way... she knows Hyper-Flux."
Adagio looked at Athena. "I guess Athena trained so hard that she mastered Hyper-Flux, she probably wanted to have the same technique as me and Achilles... but our Hyper-Flux is better!"
"Bushin Ashindra with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Athena wins! The score is now 2-1, with the Stars achieving their first point!" The crowd cheered as Athena and Aria returned, Athena wore a bright smile as Aria held her head down in sorrow.
"I'm sorry you guys, I thought I had that match." Sonata had a small smile as she patted Aria's back.
Aria looked at Adagio. "The fact that she has Hyper-Flux came off as a surprise, she caught you off guard it won't happen again. Plus, now she no longer has the element of surprise. Whether it be me or Sonata, we'll know about the Hyper-Flux."
"It's okay Ari, we're still in the lead. I'll go out there and take Athena down, your loss isn't a problem. We are in a good spot, Athena can try but her efforts of making a comeback won't happen." With that Sonata got up and headed to the stadium. When she got there her opponent was exactly who she thought would go up, Athena.
Athena looked at Sonata and smiled. "Bael told me you wanted to face me, well here I am Sonata. But tell me, can you beat me or will you suffer the same fate as your other sister?"
"Oh, I'll beat you alright." Sonata smiled. "Admit it! You're scared to face me after what happened in the tournament so you had Bael go up in your place. My Spryzen has defeated Ashindra once and it can do it again, just watch!"
"I will admit you were able to overpower us before, however, I'm not the same person I was back then. Me and Ashindra have gotten only stronger, the only the one who should be scared is you, dear Sonata. I mean really, me afraid of you? As if, the only thing scary about you is how many tacos you can eat without getting sick." Athena then shrugged her shoulders as she sighed. "I would have liked to Battle Adagio already but if I have to beat both of her sisters before facing her, then so be it. Beating all three of you is even better than just beating her! Let's go Sonata! After I'm done with you..." Athena then pointed over to Adagio. "Your next Adagio! I'll beat all three of you and prove that I'm better than you and that I'm the best!"
"Fourth Match! First Battle! Get ready and set!" The referee announced.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Ashindra and Spryzen take to the stadium, Spryzen had rushed to the center since she thought Ashindra would head to the center, however, it didn't. Ashindra was rushing around the stadium as Spryzen totally missed its attacks. Sonata growled as Athena smiled.
"Same old Sonata, you never were smart when coming up with plans. This is how a real Blader Battles!" Ashindra rushed over to Spryzen and landed a hit pushing Spryzen back a bit. Spryzen quickly recovered and its driver made traction with the stadium flooring.
"Counter Break unleashed!" Spryzen came charging back in and struck Ashindra back, not letting go it kept Ashindra at a standstill trying to drain it away of its stamina. "That's it! Keep attacking!"
"Bushin Guard!" Ashindra activated its guard as the two Beys continued their standstill. After a while, both Beys disengaged from each other. Spryzen went up the slope and went into the speed crater as Ashindra took the center. "I know what your planning Sonata, it won't work. Go Ashindra!" Ashindra came to life as its Hyper-Flux burst to life, as Spryzen continued to gain speed in the crater. "When they attack use Double Bushin Guard!" Ashindra created yet another defensive shield only this one was much stronger.
"Go Spryzen!" Spryzen came to life as its Hyper-Flux started to fade in and out of existence. Spryzen then shoots out of the crater and toward Ashindra. "Take them out! Lord Whip!" Spryzen hit Ashindra but Ashindra stayed strong and was able to survive but the attack had made Ashindra go unsteady as it began to wobble. Sonata smiled as Spryzen turned around to finish the job with a follow-up attack.
"Enough of this! This ends now! You've fallen right into my trap, Sonata! Now Ashindra! Hurricane Defense!" The frame of Ashindra started to glow, Sonata's eyes widened but it was already too late. Spryzen collided into the frame changing its course toward the stadium wall. Spryzen made contact with the wall and burst to the fierce impact. Sonata gasped as her sisters grimaced, now they were even.
Gabby looked down at the scene and sighed. 'She hasn't changed at all, still the same weak Blader I crushed in the past. Heck looks like she got even weaker if she lost to that loser and her weak Bey of hers.' Gabby's attention then turned to Adagio. 'Now tell me, dear Champion. Do you have what it takes for your team to face me and my team or will all your sisters lose to this nobody?'
"Bushin Ashindra with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Athena wins! The score is tied at 2-2!" The crowd cheered as Sonata and Athena made it back to their teams.
Adagio thought back to the Battle. "She used Spryzen's heavyweight and speed, to her advantage. Crashing into the wall like that at that speed and with all that power came back to itself and caused it to burst. An excellent plan on Athena's behalf."
Sonata came back with her head down. "Guess I was wrong, it's all up to you now Adagio. I'm sorry I couldn't win, now thanks to me the match is all tied up." Adagio simply smiled and patted Sonata's head.
"And guess what, I'll go out there and win. For all three of us, because we're the Dazzlings! And nobody can defeat us when we work together, you guys with me!" Sonata and Aria looked at each other and nodded. The three girls all fist-bumped, as Adagio started to head to the stadium where Athena waited for her.
"You made me wait quite a while for you, but nonetheless the time has come! When this match is over you'll realize who's the best, and that's going to be me. Me and Ashindra are winning this thing! You and Achilles will fall to Ashindra's supreme defense!" Athena then pulled out her Bey as an aura surrounded the two.
"You may have taken down my sisters, but you need to remember that I'm the Champion. Me and Achilles don't lose to anyone that includes you, I'm winning this thing! You and Ashindra will fall to Achilles's all-mighty sword and shield!" Adagio then pulled out Achilles as she too was surrounded by her aura. Everyone watched as the two girls stared each other down with the avatar of their Beys behind them, no doubt this match would be full of surprises.
Preview: The Fifth and Final Match that'll decide it all has begun. Ever since the beginning Athena and Adagio have been rivals, trying to one-up each other. Now the time has come to prove once and for all who is superior. Both girls will have to break their limits if they want to not only win but also advance their teams to the finals. The Battle between bitter rivals has begun, Adagio against Athena, Balance against Defense, Ashindra vs Achilles!
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Athena vs Adagio!
Athena and Adagio continued to stare each other down, the Battle between the two would finally happen after so long. Sonata held onto Aria in fear, the score was tied 2-2, and Adagio had to win or else they would lose. Adagio looked down at Achilles and switched it into Stamina Mode, without the sword attached. She didn't want to risk anything nor take things to chance, she wanted to take things by advantage.
"Athena the last time we battled it was a three on one with my sisters. But now it's just you and me, and today I'll take you down." Adagio said. "Achilles will take down any shields Ashindra tries to put up."
"That's a shame." Athena said as she looked down at Ashindra. "Ashindra is much stronger than before. Ashindra will endure any and all kinds of attacks Achilles will throw at it. You'll never be able to beat our defense, this Battle will end just like the last two matches have."
Adagio smiled. "I admit I was impressed that you beat Aria and Sonata. However, I'm the Champion, and as the Champion, I can't afford to lose to someone like you. Now if you'll please I'll like to start this Battle already. I want to prove to everyone who's stronger, me and Achilles!"
"Never seen someone so excited to lose to me, but that's fine by me. Let's get this thing started Adagio." Athena attached Ashindra to her launcher as Adagio did the same.
Sonata continued to hold onto Aria. "Come on Adagio, you can do it." Aria looked down and patted Sonata's head to calm her down which thankfully worked as Sonata looked up and smiled at Aria who smiled back. However, the call from the referee pulled them away from each other and to the stadium.
"Match Five! First Battle! Bladers get ready and set! The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Achilles and Ashindra took to the stadium, Ashindra rushed to the center but Achilles quickly came in to stop it. "Achilles hit it with Unison Breaker!" The attack hit its target as Ashindra was pushed away, Athena didn't mind as Ashindra rushed up the slope.
"Speed up Ashindra! We're going to end this in one attack!" Ashindra raced up the slope and started to pick up speed as it quickly went into its Hyper-Flux state. Adagio saw this and smiled, Achilles was still circling around the stadium waiting for Ashindra to come down.
"Achilles get ready!" Ashindra reached the top and started to descend from the slope picking up immense speeds.
"Ashindra! Finish them once and for all!" Ashindra charged toward Achilles and slammed into it, the force was starting to push Achilles back. Athena smiled but when she saw Adagio who wasn't fazed at all she quickly became confused.
"All according to plan. Now Achilles! Unison Pendulum!" Achilles was launched back as it started to come back to Ashindra, Athena saw this and began to panic before getting herself together.
"Counter their counter with Tower Counter!" Ashindra's driver dug into the stadium floor as it charged toward its foe. The two Beys headed toward each other and collided. Thanks to the blow from the impact both Beys were sent flying out of the stadium as they both hit the ground.
Adagio and Athena looked at their Beys and then at the referee. Aria, along with Sonata, and the rest of the people in the arena went quiet to hear the referees call. The ref then raised his hand in the air and made his call.
"Union Achilles with a Ring-Out Finish, point standings are 1-0!" The referee declared. The crowd cheered as Adagio and Athena retrieved their Beys. Aria and Sonata smiled, Adagio had taken the lead and now all she had to do was get one more point.
"Just one more point and Adagio will have won! And then we'll be heading to the Finals!" Sonata cheered.
"Yes but she's going up against Athena, she wouldn't be taken down that easily. It's best if Adagio keeps her guard up, just encase Athena has yet another trick she's saving up." Aria said. "In terms of power, I'll say Adagio wins, but Athena isn't the same girl she was before. Ashindra may just be a Defense Type but the power it holds is much more than a simple Defense Bey." Sonata stared at Aria and then at Adagio who looked to be talking with Achilles while getting ready for the Second Battle.
"Yeah, but Adagio's bond with Achilles is something Athena doesn't have with Ashindra. That's what makes these two so different and because of that I have no doubt in my mind that Adagio will win." Aria looked at Sonata and smiled, but it faded as she looked at Athena who looked to be fired up.
'Hopefully Adagio realized Athena was going easy on her in the First Battle. Cause now she's going to be coming at her with everything she has.' Aria then looked at Athena who was staring at the slope part of the stadium. 'Why is she looking at the slope? Is she planning on using the slope to her advantage this round? It didn't work last round... unless she's planning on launching on the slope!'
By the time Aria had gathered her thoughts the countdown had already begun. And with that, both Beys had taken to the stadium, and just like Aria thought, Ashindra had landed on the slope and was already picking up speed as it was reaching the speed crater. Adagio saw this and gasped.
"Quickly Achilles! Stop them before they reach the crater!" Achilles raced after Ashindra but it was too slow as Ashindra had already reached the crater and was hitting speeds that could break the speed barrier. "Knock them out of the crater! Unison Sword!"
Achilles tried to hit Ashindra but it was launched backward. Ashindra's speed was increasing as it then it sped out of the crater and into the sky. Its Hyper-Flux came to life as it started to fall toward Achilles. "Ashindra!" The avatar was shown behind Ashindra falling from the sky as its swords came crashing down toward Achilles.
"Achilles!" The avatar was shown behind Achilles who collided with Ashindra. The two Beys were at a standstill until both were sent back. Achilles raced toward Ashindra with one goal in mind; win. "Unison Launch!" Achilles started pummeling Ashindra pushing it about without giving it a second to recover.
"Get out of there! Tower Counter!" Ashindra slammed into Achilles reeling it backward.
"Unison Pendulum!" Achilles's driver sparked as it came crashing down and hitting Ashindra into the air. Ashindra came down and landed in the center as it started to wobble. "Alright, it's on the ropes! Race up the slope now!" And so Achilles did as it raced up the slope, picking up momentum.
"Get ready for any and all attacks! Hurricane Defense!" The frame of Ashindra glowed as it was preparing for the attack. "Now use Double Bushin Guard!" Now the layer to Ashindra glowed as now it was in its ultimate defense mode.
"Nice defense, but it won't be enough for me and Achilles!" Achilles charged up the slope. So fast that it looked to be going out of control, as it then hit the stadium wall making it go flying sky high that it was barely noticeable. Aria and Sonata gasped as Achilles was launched up into the sky. Adagio smirked as Athena looked in confusion seeing Achilles being launched into the sky.
"Now take flight Achilles! Unison Dive!" Achilles came rocketing down from the sky and slammed into Ashindra. The two Beys fought as both girls let out a battle cry, seeing their Beys clash.
Sparks flew as then an explosion was let loose, causing the girls to shield their faces. When the smoke cleared it showed Ashindra who had just finished spinning in the center and Achilles who had fallen out of bounds.
"Bushin Ashindra with a Ring-Out Finish points standings; 1-1!" Yet again the crowd cheered as both girls picked up their Beys. Aria sighed as Sonata had small tears forming in her eyes.
"She was so close... now this match is anyone's game. Is this it? Do we lose?" Sonata turned to Aria for an answer.
Aria looked down at Sonata and tightened her fist. "Not yet, not if we have anything to say about it! Yo, Adagio!"
Adagio turned around and looked at Aria. "What? I'm kinda in a Battle right now."
"Go out there and take her down! I know this isn't all you got, give it everything you have and plus some. If you got push yourselves to do so then do it! Burst them already! Show them that you're the Champion!"
Sonata nodded her head as she smiled. "Come on Dagi! Show Athena that your bond with Achilles is so strong that nothing can stop you guys!"
"You guys..." Adagio smiled warmly, as she looked down at Achilles. "Let's do this thing, together!" Adagio attached the sword to Achilles along with putting it in Attack Mode, she was going all out for the Final Round. "This will all be over in the Third Round, that's a promise."
Athena looked at Adagio and smiled. "Then I guess I shall be coming at you with everything as well. Fine by me, no more holding back." The two girls stared at each other as their Bey's avatar loomed over them.
"Third battle! Ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Achilles and Ashindra took to the stadium as they both immediately headed for the center and collided. Both were sent back a bit but they soon came back to attack yet again.
"GO!" Both Bladers yelled.
The two Beys then collided yet again and clashed as they were at a standstill. After a few seconds of being at a standstill the two disengaged.
"Tower Counter!" Athena yelled.
"Unison Pendulum!" Adagio yelled.
Ashindra and Achilles came crashing down and slammed into each other sending both the way they came from. Ashindra landed near the slope and raced onto it, Achilles not letting it go chasing after it. Thanks to its speed it was able to catch up to Ashindra and attacked it making it slam into the wall causing it to then fall into the speed crater.
Ashindra started to speed up as Achilles came down the slope and waited for Ashindra's next move. A golden shine sparked off of Ashindra as it picked up even more speed. "A present from me to you Adagio! I've been saving this move just for you and now everyone will watch as it'll be the move that will take you down! Go Ashindra! Hurricane Whirlwind!" Ashindra leaped out of the speed crater and toward the stadium wall.
The frame on Ashindra made contact with the stadium wall as it then started to spin along the stadium walling. As if a spark went off, Ashindra shot like a rocket and raced around the stadium at intense speeds. Adagio, along with Aria and Sonata gasped at the sight.
Athena saw this and smiled. "Once Ashindra has picked up enough power it'll come at you with full force."
Aria looked at the scene surprised. "If Adagio gets hit with power like that Achilles will surely burst!"
Sonata looked at Aria and then back at Adagio with fear in her eyes. "You gotta stop them before that happens Dagi!"
Adagio looked around as she spotted Ashindra from the corner of her eye. "Right there! Attack them with Unison Breaker!" Achilles headed to where Adagio had pointed and collided... with the wall. Adagio gasped as Achilles started to wobble from taking recoil damage from the wall.
"Poor Adagio. What you thought was my Ashindra was actually an afterimage. This is the real Ashindra! Go Ashindra!" Ashindra then came around and struck Achilles sending it flying.
"Achilles hang in there!" Achilles came flying down as it hit the edge of the stadium wall making it able to stay in the arena. Aria and Sonata let out a breath they didn't even know they were holding in, however, the Battle was still far from over.
Achilles was able to make it to the speed crater as it started to pick up speed. 'Athena isn't the only one who's Bey can increase their speed.' The crater made Achilles spin faster and faster as it started glowing thanks to Hyper-Flux. Just like how Ashindra it shot out of the speed crater and raced toward its opponent.
Athena looked at Achilles who had achieved massive amounts of speed and was racing to catch up to Ashindra, which was actually starting to work as it was starting to get close. She then looked at Adagio whose eyes were burning with passion, the look in her eyes could tell that she was not only giving it her all but was also battling with Achilles. Not as Blader and Bey but as one united force.
"And me and Ashindra will be the ones to take down this force! Now go Ashindra!" Ashindra shot out and raced toward Achilles who was also heading toward it.
Adagio looked at Athena with a big smile. "No matter what the obstacle, you and me were able to take them down so let's do it again! Charge Achilles! Unison Whip!"
"ADAGIO!" Athena shouted as Ashindra raced toward Achilles with it's avatar looming behind it.
"ATHENA!" Adagio shouted as Achilles raced toward Ashindra with it's avatar looming behind it.
Achilles and Ashindra collide with one another unleashing an explosion. As everyone shields themselves from the explosion, Ashindra, and Achilles continued their standstill in the explosion. Neither Bey was giving an inch as they both wanted to take the victory.
"End them Ashindra!" Ashindra heard it's Bladers voice as it started to push Achilles back. "GO ASHINDRA!"
"I believe in you, Achilles!" Achilles heard Adagio and started to fight back. "ACHILLES!"
The two Beys fought however Achilles's sword slammed down on Ashindra slicing through it. Ashindra flew into the air and burst as Achilles ran out of stamina and burst a few seconds later. Athena and Adagio let out deep breaths that they were holding in as they both fell to the ground.
"Union Achilles with a Burst Finish! With a point standing of 3-1, Adagio wins! The Dazzlings will be advancing to the Finals, where they will be battling the Dragonslayers!" The crowd cheered as Aria and Sonata ran to their sister who was still on the ground.
"You did it Dagi!" As Sonata jumped and hugged her.
"Not bad Adagio, not bad at all." Aria and Sonata helped pick up Adagio, as Phoebe and Bael did the same with Athena. The two girls looked at each other and walked over to one another and shook hands.
Athena looked at Adagio with a small smile. "Looks like you beat us, it's no wonder why you're the Champion. You and your sisters deserve this victory."
Adagio gave Athena a smile back. "Don't discredit yourself. You did an amazing job, I thought I would lose multiple times. That Hurricane Whirlwind was an amazing move, a total shocker to me. Not to mention that part where you launched on the slope to immediately gain speed, I would have never thought about it. You've shown me I have much to learn even as a Champion, thank you. Our Battle was the best one I've ever had and it all thanks to you and Ashindra."
"I should be thanking you as well. It was thanks to you and Achilles that I've realized that me and Ashindra have to train even harder if we want to gain that Champion title. Just wait Adagio, me and Ashindra will come back to Battle you, and we'll win. Until then you better not lose to anyone else you understand." Tears then started to fall from Athena's eyes as she hugged Adagio. "You made it this far so you better make it all the way. Win in the Finals for all of us, for all of our friends who couldn't make it, promise me that you will?"
"I promise Athena." Adagio then hugged Athena as she hugged back. Sonata smiled as she then jumped over to Phoebe and gave her a bear hug in which she happily hugged back. Aria then looked to Bael who went over to her and hugged her causing her face to light up like a Christmas tree.
The crowd cheered for the two teams after the intense Battle they had. While everyone was cheering they didn't notice one individual staring at the two teams. Leon and Dean didn't say anything as they got up and left the arena, their leader Gabby however stayed and stared.
'So you made it to the Finals. You have my congratulations, however, they won't do much. For it'll be your graveyard, Adagio..., Aria..., and Sonata... you'll all fall to the likes of me and Eclipse Genesis!' The avatar of Genesis loomed over Gabby as her body flared with aura. 'Union Achilles, Prime Apocalypse, Lord Spryzen, and anyone else's measly Bey who dares to get in my way will be destroyed! Darkness will have arisen!'
Preview: Using their time before the Finals, the Dazzlings must practice their hearts out if they want to win. Thanks to Arctic the girls are put up against three of some of the strongest Bladers to find. However, will all their practice be enough to not only Battle but also beat the likes of Gabby and her almighty team?
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Battle Of Flames! Training Showdown!
42. Battle Of Flames! Training Showdown!
Train! Train! Train!
That's what was on the girl's mind ever since they got home from their match with Athena and her team. They had been given a day off to train for the upcoming Final Match where they would battle the Dragonslayers. If the girls wanted a chance at battling Bladers such as Gabby, Leon, and Dean they would have to train their hearts out.
Arctic had already given the girls certain instructions to do during training. Aria was tasked to increase Apocalypse's attacks to the max, Adagio was tasked to improve Achilles's defense and stamina as she used Attack Mode most of the time, and as for Sonata, she was tasked with getting a grip on Spryzen's Hyper-Flux. From what she understood, controlling Hyper-Flux would boost Spryzen's power and unleash its true potential.
However, no matter how hard she tried Sonata was unable to activate Hyper-Flux. She tried different launches, putting Spryzen in every Mode it had to offer, and even talking to it didn't work. Adagio and Aria had even requested to Battle Sonata but even after countless amount of battles, Spryzen didn't shine. The three girls were currently on a much-needed lunch break as they sat down in the backyard to eat.
"I don't understand, I've tried everything." Sonata said as she took another bite of her taco. "Me and Spryzen have a strong enough bond, don't we?" She looked at her two sisters for confirmation.
"Of course you do, Sonata." Adagio said. "It might be because you're focusing too hard on achieving Hyper-Flux, you need to be less tense. You and Spryzen have been through a lot together, and you've beaten a ton of strong opponents, don't force anything, and just let it happen. One day you'll get things under control, you two are already strong as it is."
"It's a double-edged sword for me." Aria said, taking a bite of her pizza. "Yes, Sonata and Spryzen are strong, it's no wonder they made it to the Semi-Finals in the previous tournament. However, you got to think about our opponents; Dean, Leon, and Gabby. She's beaten Dean before and I have no doubt she can do it again, against Leon it could go either way and let's not forget what Gabby did."
Sonata thought back, in the previous tournament she had battled Gabby twice and lost both times. The first time ended in a matter of moments as the Battle was one-sided, and the second time was what caused the destruction of her beloved Turbo Spryzen. She looked down at Spryzen and frowned. 'I promised I would get stronger and one day we would be the strongest team in the world. So strong that people such as Gabby and even my sisters wouldn't be able to beat it. But it seems no matter what I do I'm always behind them.'
The area around Sonata changed as it became nothing but a white void. She looked up to see Adagio and Aria but when she put her hand out they were further away than they were a moment ago, she tried to run after them but no matter how fast she ran she never caught up to them. 'They always have been ahead of me.' The void was then filled with precious moments of the Dazzling's journey, battles of them against their friends, the three bonding with one another, birthdays, and even the wedding of Sunset and Tom. 'Aria and Adagio have done things I thought were impossible over and over again. They always were the smarter, strongest, better siblings.' Sonata walked around to see some of the two's achievements. 'Bael, Phoebe, Athena, Dean, and Leon, too, they got stronger with each one.' Sonata then looked at a scene between Adagio and Gabby. 'Adagio was even able to take down Gabby after my humiliating loss. And to add to insult they've both unlocked a newfound power the world had yet to see. Meanwhile, here I am, not even able to enter a Hyper-Flux of my own.' A small tear escaped Sonata's eye as the once-white void went away.
"Sonata?" Sonata's trail of thought escaped when she heard her name being called, it was Arctic with Adagio and Aria behind him. "It's time to get Battle to practice. I called some of your friends over they should be here soon." Sonata nodded as she wiped her tears away before anyone saw them. She then proceeded to practically swallow her taco whole, as she stood up.
"Do I even want to ask?" Aria looked over toward Adagio.
"I would rather save your breath if I was you, this is Sonata we're talking about." Aria nodded. Just then the gate to the backyard opened; appearing came all of their friends besides the Dragonslayers. "No way it's everyone we went to school with."
Sonata looked at all of their friends in surprise. "Athena, Derek, Frizzle, Bael, and even Phoebe came. It's everyone we've ever battled before. But how... or why?"
Arctic looked at the Dazzlings and smiled. "They all wanted to help and support you guys before your big match, so they all came out to lead a hand. Now then, they'll all help you out so let's get this intense training session underway!" Everyone cheered as the training started up once again.
Matches between the Dazzlings and their friends begin. However, in every Battle Sonata seemed to take part in, she was still unable to enter Hyper-Flux. It was coming near the end of the day and things hadn't changed one bit, Sonata had battled almost every one of her friends. She had battled Joy and Bael and she even battled Derek and Phoebe in a two vs one situation, but even that wasn't enough.
'I've battled seemingly everyone in the backyard, so much for a whole days worth of practice.' Sonata turned her head and looked over to Aria and Adagio who were doing some last-minute training matches against Derek and Phoebe. 'Yet again I've fallen behind my sisters, will I ever be able to catch up to them?' Just then she felt something bonk the top of her head, she looked up to see Frizzle looming over her.
"Hey, Sonata, what do you say to a Battle? We haven't gotten to Battle yet today, me and Fafnir are looking for payback after what happened in the tournament." Sonata looked at Frizzle and then at Spryzen who shined in the sunlight. Sonata smiled and got up and headed to a nearby unoccupied stadium.
"Let's go this thing, Frizzle! Me and Spryzen will wipe the floor with you." Sonata had put Spryzen in Right spin Attack Mode, she looked up to see Frizzle staring at her, and a passion was in her eyes. Sonata glanced around the backyard to see that everyone was staring at them, her nerves starting to get the best of her. 'Calm down Sonata you got this. It's not like if you mess up or don't activate Hyper-Flux they'll laugh at you, they're your friends.' Sonata took a deep breath and looked at Spryzen. 'Spryzen it's you and me, together we'll take down Frizzle. But the question is... will this be the moment we activate or will it be another failure?'
"You said you wanted to be the best team in the world didn't you?" A voice said. Sonata looked around and before she stood Spryzen in his almighty glory.
Sonata smiled. "Spryzen!"
Spryzen opened its mouth. "I believe in my strength, as also your strength. Can the same be said about yourself? Do you believe in not only me but you as well?"
Sonata shook her head. "I do believe in you, ever since the beginning I always have. I do believe in myself it's just... whenever I'm around my sisters I feel weak."
"Ease your mind and focus on what's in front of you. Push those feelings you feel when you're around your sister back, believe in me and yourself and I will do the same." With that Spryzen went away. Sonata looked back and got ready to launch but this time with a smile on her face, this time she was determined to win and do her best. But most importantly enter Hyper-Flux and beat Frizzle with a burst!
"Bladers! Get ready and set!" Adagio announced as she was playing as the referee.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Fafnir and Spryzen landed in the stadium, Fafnir rushed in and took to the center as Spryzen came in full throttle after it. "Smack it down Spryzen!" Spryzen started pummeling Fafnir with a barrage of attacks, but all the attacks seemed to only help Fafnir as it started to spin even faster.
"Have you forgotten that won't work on my Fafnir? Let's give them a reminder, Fafnir! Wizard Spin!" Fafnir started to spin ever faster as Spryzen kept on hitting it. Finally, Spryzen stopped its flurry on Fafnir and started to race around the stadium looking for a chance to strike down pain on Fafnir.
"Spryzen use Counter Break to speed up!" Spryzen's driver gained traction on the stadium floor and started to pick up speed. It reached the outer rim of the stadium and picked up even more speed, a faint golden shine started to radiate off of it. "Come on! Come on! You can do it Spryzen!" Spryzen went even faster as the shine started to shine brighter.
"Almost... your so close Sonata." Adagio said as she looked at the Hyper-Flux coming fading in and out.
Aria looked as well. "She's at the final step, she's coming to the finish line."
"Go Sonata!" They yelled.
"Spryzen!" Spryzen glowed the brightest it had ever shined as it finally started to glow golden. "I believe in you! You and me together as one!!" Sonata's eyes flared as they shined. Just then Spryzen burst forth and went into Hyper-Flux, all of Spryzen became pure golden as it shot after Fafnir.
"She did it!" Adagio yelled.
"Yes! It's Hyper-Flux!" Aria yelled.
Sonata smiled brightly. "End them with Lord Whip!"
Frizzle gasped. "Stop them Fafnir! Wizard Blow!" Fafnir shot out of the center and toward Spryzen. The two Beys collided but the clash was one-sided as Spryzen burst through it like it was nothing. Pieces of Fafnir hit the stadium as Spryzen raced around the stadium.
"Lord Spryzen with a Burst Finish! Sonata wins with a final score of 2-0!" Everyone cheered as Sonata jumped up and down.
"I did it! I've finally entered Hyper-Flux and this time I think I've finally mastered it!" Adagio and Aria ran over to her sister and brought her in for a hug. The three sisters hugged each other as they smiled, after what felt like an eternity Sonata and Spryzen finally and hopefully mastered Hyper-Flux.
"I think it's safe to say this day's training secession has ended in success." The hug between the sisters broke as Sonata went over to Arctic and hugged him as well.
Just then the doors to their house opened and out came Sunset and Tom with plates of food in their hands. "We know all of you have been practicing hard so we decided to make some food for all of you." Tom placed some plates on a table as he helped out his wife.
Sunset looked at her three girls and smiled. "You three have grown up so much over the past few years, I'm proud to be your mother. Now then let's all party our hearts out as a celebration for my daughters for making it to the Finals!"
"Yeah!" Everyone yelled as the party soon began. Everyone started to drink and eat and especially party the night away. It would be the final moment they would get to be together before the Final Match of the team tournament. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata laughed and smiled as they partied with their friends, this night would be a night they would never forget.
Preview: The Finals of the team tournament has finally arrived. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata will have to give it everything they got if they want to prove they're the best. Against the team of Gabby, Dean, and Leon is it possible for them to achieve victory or is it just a measly dream? The Battle starts off strong as Adagio goes up where she's faced against Gabby, in the battle however something eerie starts to manifest.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Dragonslayers vs Dazzlings!
43. Dragonslayers vs Dazzlings!
The day of the Finals of the team tournament had at long last arrived. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata were currently waiting to be called up as they were in their training room going over a last-second plan. As they finished up their little group meeting they were then called up to the stage. The three girls walked down the halls, it was quiet as the only sound came from them walking. They then stopped right at the entrance to where the main arena was located, they looked at the door almost as if it was looking down at them.
"Girls, whatever happens next just know we'll do it together." Adagio said as she looked at her sisters. "I... always wanted to let you girls know that I love you guys."
Sonata jumped and hugged Adagio. "I love you too Adagio, and you too Aria." She then brought Aria into the group hug.
Aria blushed as she looked down at the ground. "Yeah-yeah... I love you guys too. Even if you two can be pains in the butt sometimes." The three girls continued to hug as they then let go and headed into the main arena.
Cheers from the crowd could be heard as the three girls looked around to see the whole stadium filled out. They saw their friends, along with their parents, and their parent's friends. Looking across the arena they saw their opponents enter the stage. The two teams stared down at one another, the Final Match had yet to begin but tension was already in the air.
"The Final Match of the team tournament is about to get underway. As this is the Finals the first team to achieve five points will be the winner." The crowd cheered as the Dazzlings looked at one another with smiles on their faces. "The matches will be as such; the first three rounds will be one vs one, the next three will be two vs two, and then back to one vs one, the team to get the best of nine matches will be declared as the strongest team in the world!"
"So this could all be over in the fifth round if we don't play our cards right." Aria nodded at Adagio's comment.
"Yes, but we're stronger than that. We'll come at them with all we got. Now then... leader what's the play?" Aria turned to Sonata as Adagio followed suit.
Sonata looked at them and then down at the ground with her hair covering her eyes. At first Adagio and Aria were worried that nerves were getting to her but her head then shot up as she gave them a big smile. "We got out there and win! And the one to kick things off is Dagi!" Adagio nodded as she looked at Achilles who shined.
"Right then wish me good luck." Adagio started to leave but she felt something tug her backward. It was Sonata and Aria who had their Beys out.
"Right after we do our chant." Sonata brought Spryzen in as Aria did the same with Apocalypse. Adagio looked at the scene and then at Sonata who had a smile on her face. "Come on Adagio, it ain't a team chant without everyone involved." Adagio smiled and brought Achilles in as well. "On three. One. Two. Three!"
"GO DAZZLINGS!" The three shot their hands in the air with their Beys in hand. Adagio then waved to her sisters as she arrived at the stadium. There waiting for her was someone she had taken down before, but it wasn't an easy feat.
"Adagio, member of the Dazzlings, honestly I'm surprised they didn't make you the leader. Instead, that idiot Sonata is the leader, you're soft Adagio... and that's what will make you fall." Gabby said as her arms were crossed.
"You're wrong." Gabby looked at Adagio as her eyebrow raised. "Me and Achilles have an unbreakable bond, our bond is so strong that we can take down any opponent who dares challenge us. We've beaten you before and we'll do it again! Me and my sisters are winning this thing!"
Gabby's eye glowed, as she let out a sinister grin. "Try as you might, a God can't be taken down."
The two girls placed their Beys on their launches. Adagio had put Achilles in Attack Mode with the sword attached. She was going to come at Gabby with everything she had right at the beginning. The two got into their place as they waited for the referee's call.
Up in the stands watched Sunset, Tom, and their friends. Sunset put her hands together tightly. "Good luck Adagio." Tom saw this and rubbed his wife's back, but he too couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Game one, match one! First Battle! Bladers get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" The audience yelled.
Genesis and Achilles landed in the center as the two circled around the stadium. Adagio watched as Genesis rushed up the slope as it started to pick up speed. She smiled as Achilles waited for the Bey to come to them. Meanwhile, Genesis arrived at the top of the slope as it then started to shoot down like a rocket.
"Hybrid Force!" Genesis driver kicked in as it started to pick up even more speed. The Bey jumped as it looked below at Achilles as it charged toward it.
"Unison Breaker!" The two Beys clashed as they went sent back from the impact. Achilles raced around as Genesis chased after it catching up on its tail. Genesis was able to catch up as it slammed into Achilles forcing the two to a standstill.
"Take them out, Genesis! Show them why you're the best!" Genesis started to push even harder as it began to push Achilles toward the wall of the stadium. Achilles started to get closer and closer to the wall but Adagio didn't seem to be worried.
"I knew you were going to do that!" Gabby looked at Adagio in confusion. "You may think you put me in a corner but the truth is I was hoping for something like this to happen! Now you're right where I want you with nowhere to run. Strike them down, Achilles! Unison Sword!" Gabby gasped as she realized what was going on.
With Genesis being at a standstill with Achilles it had no time to get away as Achilles unleashed its special move. Achilles struck Genesis sending it flying into the air, as it descended it was able to hit the edge of the stadium wall and recover. It slowly wobbled as it was making its way toward the speed crater.
"I don't think so!" Just then Achilles came rushing toward it hitting it again sending it away from the speed crater. Gabby gritted her teeth as Genesis was knocked back. Genesis was running low on stamina as it looked like it was going to fall at any given moment. "I won't let this end with a Survivor! I want a burst! Go Achilles!"
Achilles shined bright as it went into its Hyper-Flux state, it raced past Genesis almost like it was playing with its opponent as it raced up the slope. In a matter of seconds, it flew up and then down the slope heading toward the wobbling Genesis. Gabby watched as Achilles came heading toward it, she had to do some quick thinking to get out of the situation she had found herself in.
"End them with Unison Dive!" Achilles landed on top of Genesis, causing it to slam into the stadium flooring. Almost as if a slingshot went off, Genesis went shooting away as it ran up the slope and into the speed crater! "How did it survive the full force of Unison Dive at such low speed?!"
Gabby thought back at the attack. The attack had hit Genesis but it had missed its mark by a bit which had been the reason as to why Genesis survived. Gabby smiled but also frowned, she had gotten lucky, and that wasn't how she won battles! She won by demolishing her opponents which she planned on doing right now! Gabby smiled and looked at Adagio. "I used your attack from Achilles and used it as a way to boost my Genesis up the slope without worries. Now... it's time for the main event! GENESIS!"
Genesis had picked up enough speed to get out of the speed crater as it activated its Superior-Flux state. It shot down from the slope and toward Achilles at full throttle. Achilles changed course and raced toward Genesis, the two Beys clashed as they then went separate ways.
"ACHILLES! LET'S GO!" Achilles picked up speed as its Hyper-Flux glowed brighter, its Hyper-Flux was evolving by the second as the bond between Achilles and Adagio grew. Gabby saw this and growled, her opponent was getting stronger, and seeing that made her mad.
'Why can't you just go down and stay down for good? Why must you always be a pain and get in the way of my plans? When I'm done here you, your sisters, and everyone else in this entire world will bow before me! I'll rule this world and anyone who dares to defy me will face consequences. Consequences you'll be seeing very soon!'
"This is the end to you and your precious Bey! Prepare to feel the wrath of Eclipse Genesis! Annihilate them both with Eclipse Whip!" Gabby yelled out as the avatar of Genesis loomed from behind her as it let out its own battle cry.
"I'm taking you down! This is the bond that I share with Achilles! Show them the power of your almighty sword and shield! Unison Whip!" Adagio yelled out as the avatar of Achilles loomed from behind her as it too let out its own battle cry.
The two Beys raced toward each other, their Hyper-Flux and Superior-Flux glowing brighter by the second. Aria and Sonata and Dean and Leon, along with the rest of the crowd watched and waited to see how the outcome of the Battle would end. Achilles and Genesis raced toward the center heading for a head-to-head collision, as the Bey came near their Bladers both let out a battle cry.
As the two reached the center they were an inch away from hitting, and then...
Preview: After the First Match ends, the Second Match begins with Aria and Dean arriving at the stadium. Apocalypse and Aria will have to fight hard if she wants to beat Dean and his Master Devolos. Will Aria be able to claim victory in the Second Round or will Dean and Devolos show that they are not one to take lightly?
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! A Battle Of Demon Beys!
44. A Battle Of Demon Beys!
Dust filled the arena due to the collision of Genesis and Achilles. Everyone else was blinded including Aria and Sonata who were looking at the stadium in worry. Inside the dust cloud, the two Beys continued to clash but unbeknownst to Adagio, Genesis was sucking away Achilles's Hyper-Flux. Just then Achilles shot out of the dust cloud and burst, unable to keep up with Genesis's power.
The dust cloud ended and showed Achilles in pieces on the ground with Genesis racing around the stadium. Adagio looked down at Achilles in shock, as Gabby smiled.
"Eclipse Genesis with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Gabby wins! The Dragonslayers lead with a score of 1-0!" The referee made his call and raised his hand.
Adagio sadly picked up Achilles's pieces and went back to Aria and Sonata. She looked at them who looked at her with worried eyes, she couldn't stand looking at them with those eyes and looked down at the ground. "I'm sorry. Me and Achilles weren't able to take down Gabby, and now because of me we're losing."
"The match just started, it ain't over till it's over!" Adagio looked up at Aria who had a small smile. "Me and Apocalypse will go out there and tie the game up!"
"Yeah! And then me and Spryzen will push things in our favor!" Sonata smiled. "And then we'll win all the other matches after that and win!" Sonata then looked down at Spryzen with a sad smile. "It's okay if you lost to Gabby, so did I, two different times in fact. And how can anyone forget about what she did to Spryzen the last time we fought."
Adagio looked at Sonata. "Sonata..."
Sonata however didn't care and looked at Adagio with a smile. "But that doesn't matter! So what if you lost Dagi, we're still in it to win it! Ari will go out there and win for sure!"
"Positive as always aren't you." Aria looked over to Gabby and her team. "Gabby can no longer fight, so I'll either face Dean or Leon. I lost to Leon once and I don't have much on Dean, either one will be hard to beat."
Adagio nodded but then sighed. "As much as I hate to say it, Sonata's right... surprisingly. Gabby got the best of me, but it won't happen again. Have complete trust in Apocalypse and you can defeat anyone."
Aria looked at Adagio and then at Sonata. She took a deep breath and sighed. "I'm going out there and I'm going to win!" Aria looked down at the Eclipse Armor, she shook her head and put it away. 'It's still too early to use the armor, my trump card must be used in a more direr situation.'
A hand hitting her back took Aria out of her thoughts. "Good for you Aria! Now go out there and win!" Sonata then pushed Aria forward. Aria then looked at Sonata and sighed.
"You're acting as if you're battling with all that energy. Fine, I'll go." Aria walked up the stairs and over to the stadium, walking up to the stadium with her was Dean. 'The one person I have the least amount of knowledge on. Other than knowing Devolos is a Balance Type, and it can switch between Left and Right spin, everything else is sort of a mystery.'
"Aria! Get ready because me and Devolos are taking you down!" Dean announced as he showed off his Bey. Aria noticed that Devolos was put in Left spin.
"Fine by me, but just know that playing it safe won't help you in the end. The ones winning this match are me and Apocalypse!" Aria and Dean got into their places and waited for the refs call.
"Bladers get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Devolos and Apocalypse took to the stadium, and the two Beys spun in different directions, and when it looked like they were going to make contact the two dodged each other. Apocalypse and Devolos kept avoiding and dodging the other, Aria smiled as Dean looked confused.
"Odd. With them spinning in different directions you would think they would've made contact by now." Sonata had a finger on her chin. "You don't think this is Aria's plan, do you?"
Adagio stared at the Battle as once again Apocalypse dodged Devolos next attack as it hit the stadium wall. "I think I know what Aria is up to but I won't say anything just yet."
Sonata was about to say something but she stopped when she heard Aria make a play. "Go Apocalypse! Use Omega Blast!" Apocalypse shot forward to attack Devolos, and Dean caught on and smiled.
"About time too you made a move! Take them down with Master Upper!" Dean yelled.
The two Beys slam each other, the force being enough to send both of them sent flying. Both were able to keep standing and stayed in the stadium. Master Devolos raced up the slope and headed into the speed crater as Apocalypse meanwhile stayed below racing around.
"You're not the only one that can pick up speed! Use Prime Reboot!" Apocalypse driver flared causing it to speed off.
Apocalypse raced up the slope and jumped into the speed crater. Landing on top of Devolos, Devolos was sent out of the crater and to the lower area as Apocalypse took control of the speed carter picking up more and more speed.
"I won't lose so easily! Go Devolos!" Devolos raced around the stadium and charged toward the speed crater, bursting into Hyper-Flux. Aria smiled at this as Apocalypse then jumped out of the crater as it headed to Devolos.
"Apocalypse!" Apocalypse shined as it went into Dark-Flux, the energy surrounding it. "Send their attacks back with Primal Sphere!" A sphere-like shape appeared as it surrounded Apocalypse.
Devolos slams into the sphere with all its might, however, it's not enough as it was sent reeling into the air. It flew so high that it was sent out of the ring, and the sound of Devolos hitting the ground was heard throughout the entire arena. Dean looked down at his now fallen Bey, as Aria smirked.
"Prime Apocalypse with a Ring-Out Finish! The score is now 1-0!" The crowd cheered as the two Bladers retrieved their Beys.
Dean secretly changed Devolos into Attack Mode as Aria still decided to not put the Eclipse Armor on. The two Bladers got into their places and waited for the referee's call. Adagio and Sonata stared at the scene as Sonata tugged on Adagio's arm.
Adagio looked at the Battle ahead. "Aria's in the lead, she can do this... I hope."
"This is Aria we're talking about, she can win this!" Sonata said as she looked at the Battle.
"Bladers! Get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Apocalypse and Devolos landed in the stadium both now spinning in the same direction. The two head toward the center and collide pushing the two anyway from each other.
"Show them your power with Master Launch!" Dean yelled.
Devolos began to attack Apocalypse with an onslaught of strikes leaving Apocalypse unable to counterattack. Leaving Apocalypse with no time to recover the attacks kept coming, Aria gritted her teeth as Devolos kept the attacks coming with holding nothing back. Seizing its attacks it struck Apocalypse one last time sending it across the stadium as it took the center.
"Speed up with Prime Reboot!" Apocalypse quickly picked up speed as it did a circle around the stadium, as it then raced toward Devolos. "Now be swallowed by the darkness! Omega Blast!"
Apocalypse slammed into Devolos sending it flying into the air. "Devolos! Hang in there!" Devolos was able to hit the edge of the stadium keeping it still in the game. It then went into the speed crater and started gaining momentum.
"It survived." Aria gritted her teeth once again. "It doesn't matter! This ends here!" Apocalypse shined as it went it Dark-Flux as it raced around the stadium waiting for Devolos next move.
"Don't underestimate us Aria! Now Devolos!" Devolos shined as a burst of light exploded from within the speed crater as Devolos had gone in Hyper-Flux. Devolos then shot out of the speed crater like a rocket and flew over to Apocalypse.
"Pointless! That won't work against me and Apocalypse! End them with Final Blast!" Aria yelled out.
"Tear them apart with Master Smash!" Dean cried out.
The two Beys collide as sparks fly. A dust cloud picks up as the two continue to fight even with being surrounded by the cloud of dust. Devolos pushes harder hitting Apocalypse sword, the pressure being too much to handle for Apocalypse as it then burst.
Aria, along with her sisters gasp. "Master Devolos with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-1, Dean is the winner! The Dragonslayers are up 2-0!" The crowd cheers as Aria picks Apocalypse's pieces from the stadium. She then makes her way back to her sisters with her head down.
"Looks like I couldn't defeat Dean and his Devolos, I'm sorry." Aria apologized as she went over to her sisters.
Sonata went over and patted Aria on the back trying to make her feel better. "Hey it's no problem Ari, Dean is a strong Blader after all."
"Yeah but now we're down by two, hate to state the obvious things aren't looking good for us." Adagio then looked over at Leon. "Sonata you'll be facing Leon, got any sort of plan against him and his Luinor?"
Sonata let out a 'hmm' as she tried to think of something. "Nope! Not a clue!" Aria and Adagio did an anime fall to Sonata's bluntness.
"And you let her be the team captain, smart idea." Aria whispered as she glared at Adagio.
"She's been doing pretty good if I say so myself. But I wish she was a bit more smarter when it came to actual battling." Adagio whispered back.
"We are down by two and she doesn't have a plan to beat Leon! Adagio this is serious if she loses here we'll be down by three!" Aria's attention then went to Sonata. "Sonata for once in your life use your mind and think!"
Sonata laughed further Aria's rage. "Relax I am taking this seriously. I already have something that'll knock Leon's socks off." Adagio and Aria looked at each other confused, both then shrugging their shoulders as they didn't know what their sister was talking about. Sonata got up from her the bench and looked at Spryzen. "With Spryzen on my side, I can take down anyone!" Aria and Adagio smile at Sonata's words. "Now wish me luck!" With that Sonata waved as she headed to the stadium.
"Good luck Nata!" They both said.
As Sonata made her way to the stadium she saw her opponent Leon waiting for her. "About time you arrive, this Battle will be over before you know it."
Sonata smiled. "We'll see about that me and Spryzen are taking you down!"
Leon and Sonata stared each other down as the Third Battle between the Dragonslayers and the Dazzlings was about to get underway.
Preview: The Third Round is getting started and Sonata is up to blade. With the Dazzlings down 2-0, Sonata must win if her team wants a shot at making a comeback. Her opponent is Leon with his Zone Luinor. Will Sonata have what it takes to defeat such a titan? Or will the Dazzlings keep falling and make the gap between them and the Dragonslayers wider?
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Zoned In! Lord Spryzen: S!
45. Zoned In! Lord Spryzen: S!
Leon and Sonata stared each other up and down, Spryzen glowed in Sonata's hand its fiery spirit was on another level. Sonata looked down at Spryzen and smiled. 'I feel you Spryzen, you're as excited as me to face off against such a strong opponent.' Sonata's attention then went to that of Luinor. 'Zone Luinor. A fast heavy hitter Attack Type with a counterclockwise rotation. Those two blades it has are where all its power is concentrated at and when it takes enough damage it aligns raising its attack power even higher. The best thing to do is to play on defense, there's no way we can fight it head-on.'
Sonata put Spryzen in clockwise spinning Defense Mode as she then attached Spryzen to her launcher. Leon followed in her footsteps and did the same as he attached Luinor to his launcher as he got into position. 'I can only hope Spryzen can take whatever they throw at us. We may not be able to win in a battle of attack or speed but we can surely win in a battle of endurance and stamina!'
Leon looked at Sonata's fierce expression and then at Spryzen. 'So she's playing it safe by playing defense, very well. All the better for me, I can't wait to see the look of despair on her face when she learns that it's impossible for our attacks to be stopped by some foolish shield.'
"First Battle!" The referee cried. The audience stayed quiet, Adagio and Aria watched from the sidelines. The two were holding hands to help with their nerves, if Sonata lost it would be nearly impossible to make a comeback. "Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone in the arena yelled.
Spryzen and Luinor hit the stadium as the two rushed around, Spryzen raced forward and reached the center as Luinor raced around waiting for the call to strike.
"All right Spryzen! You're looking good, now just hold down the fort!" Sonata looked up at Leon who had so far stayed quiet, he had not yet called out an attack so Luinor was still racing around the stadium. "What's wrong, aren't you going to attack?"
"If it's an attack you want, it's an attack you'll receive! Go forth, Zone Slam!" Luinor did as Leon told and rushed in to strike Spryzen, Spryzen took the hit like a champ, however, and brushed off the attack as if it was nothing.
Sonata smiled. "Nice try but it'll take more than that to defeat my Spryzen! Keep attacking like that and this Battle will be over in no time!"
"Oh, this Battle will all be over sooner than you expect." Luinor then did something unexpected as it hit the stadium wall, it then ricocheted off the hit and crashed into another wall and then another.
Sonata couldn't believe what she was witnessing, Luinor had gone rogue as it was bouncing off the walls left and right. 'What's he planning?! If he keeps taking all those hits it'll run out of stamina in no time!' Just then Luinor hit another wall which bounced it up toward the speed slope and toward the speed crater, Leon smiled as Sonata gasped. 'That was his plan all along?!'
"I can't afford to lose here!" Sonata's aura burned as Spryzen then started to glow! Sonata let out a scream as her aura burst forth. "Let's go Spryzen!" Spryzen shined bright as its Hyper-Flux came into full effect. "Come at us Luinor!! COME AT US NOW!!!"
Leon's smile only got bigger. "You heard the women! Now go Luinor!!" Luinor's aura burst to life as it raced into the speed crater. Due to all the hits it took from colliding with the walls, Luinor was perfectly aligned and was ready for an all-out attack. Just then Luinor jumped out of the speed crater and charged toward Spryzen! "YOU WANTED US TO COME SO BAD WELL HERE WE ARE!! STRIKE THEM DOWN WITH ZONE HAMMER!!!"
"STOP THEM WITH LORD SHIELD!!" Sonata yelled.
The two Beys clashed with one another, sparks flew and the wind picked up. Sonata and Leon both yelled out as Luinor and Spryzen continued to push each other back. With one last attack, an explosion was set off blasting the two Beys away. The audience watched as both Luinor and Spryzen were sent flying out of the ring and hit the flooring. Both Bladers looked at their fallen Beys and then turned their direction to the referee.
"Who won?!" They both asked.
The referee stayed quiet but not a second later did he make his call. "Zone Luinor with a Ring-Out Finish! Point standings 1-0!" The crowd cheered as the two Bladers retrieved their Beys. Sonata looked down at Spryzen, she was clearly saddened at her loss. She peeked from the corner of her eye to see Adagio and Aria with depressed faces.
"Hey, Sonata!" Sonata turned to face Leon, he showed off Luinor as he gave off a determined expression. "Me and Luinor want to face our opponent with everything they've got! Let's have the Second Battle be an Attack Type showdown! Throw everything you can at us, nothing less than a hundred percent!"
"Leon..." Sonata smiled. "Yeah!" Sonata changed Spryzen from once clockwise spinning Defense Mode to counterclockwise Attack Mode. "We'll beat you at your own game! Our fire with scorch your puny dragon to ashes!" Spryzen glowed as its avatar loomed over Sonata.
"You can try your best but Luinor won't be beaten in a match of attack! Your flames with be extinguished before your very eyes, last chance to throw in the towel." Luinor glowed as its avatar loomed over Leon.
Sonata smiled. "I could say the same thing for you, me and Spryzen aren't going anywhere!"
"Second Battle!" Once again the audience went quiet as they all wanted to see how this flaming hot battle between Sonata and Leon would turn out. "Now get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
For the second time that day, both Beys took to the stadium. Spryzen and Luinor raced around the stadium waiting for the other to make their move.
"Make your move Luinor! Zone Slam!" Leon yelled.
"Hit them back Spryzen! Show them a real attack with Counter Break!" Sonata yelled.
Spryzen and Luinor collided as the two were sent back. The two came back for more as they soon engaged in a barrage of immense blows with the two canceling out the other. Attack after attack, blow after blow, neither Spryzen nor Luinor were giving an inch. With one last attack the two Beys were sent flying to opposite sides of the stadium, Spryzen's tip gained traction to the stadium flooring and sped off with Luinor giving chase.
Spryzen raced up the speed slope with Luinor close behind. It then leaped into the speed crater as Luinor came soon after. Both Beys sped up as they then clashed in the center of the speed crater. Luinor and Spryzen then jumped out of the speed crater and raced down the speed slope in a side-to-side clash. Neither Bey was giving up nor did they look like they would be stopping any time soon.
"Victory will be mine! Now go Luinor!" Luinor glowed as its avatar was unleashed. It started to push Spryzen back thanks to its increase in power.
"It's a shame because victory has my name written all over it! Take charge Spryzen!" Spryzen glowed as its avatar burst out from the flames, its Hyper-Flux shined bright as now Spryzen was keeping Luinor at bay. "Now take them out with a Lord Whip!!"
Lord Whip connected and knocked Luinor reeling backward as it was sent flying across the stadium. Thankfully for Leon, it landed back into the stadium by hitting the wall, knocking it back into the speed crater. Luinor quickly picked up speed as it then jumped into the air. "TAKE FLIGHT MY DRAGON!!"
"GET READY FOR IT SPRYZEN!!" Sonata yelled.
"RAIN FROM ABOVE LUINOR!!! STRIKE PUNISHMENT ON THEM WITH ZONE HAMMER!!!!" Leon yelled.
"I REFUSE TO LOSE TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE!!! LORD SPRYZEN: S!!!!!" Sonata yelled.
Spryzen and Luinor collided with a fury. As if fireworks went off explosions went off from every corner of the stadium as the whole arena was filled with smoke and dust. Like two stars that could light the sky, a golden light, and a blue light were seen sent flying into the air. The blue light dimmed until it stopped glowing completely as the golden light fell to the ground.
When the screen of smoke cleared pieces of Luinor were scattered on the stadium as Spryzen was on the glow still glowing brightly from Hyper-Flux. Sonata breathed in and out with sweat dripping from her forehead she looked down at Spryzen and smiled. "ALL RIGHT WE DID IT! WE WON!!!"
The crowd cheered for Sonata as the referee made the call. "Lord Spryzen with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-1, Sonata is the winner! The score is now 2-1 with Dragonslayers leading by one!"
Adagio and Aria ran over to Sonata and hugged her. "You did it Sonata! I'm so proud of you!" Adagio then smelt Sonata. "But.. maybe you should take a bath after this, you kinda smell."
"Well, she deserved this sweat after what she did!" Aria then looked at Sonata. "Thanks to you we're finally on the board, now we can turn this around with this momentum."
Sonata smiled. "The Tag Battles are next, anything can happen with those. But with our unbreakable bond, we've got this! This is our turning point girls, let's turn this around and win this thing!"
"Yeah!" Adagio and Aria yelled.
Up in the stands Sunset wiped her eyes. "She did it, Sonata really did it."
"She sure did Sunny." Tom tightened his grip on Sunset's hand. "Now with the Tag Battles coming up this is where the girls shine, their teamwork is one of a kind."
"And I'm going to cheer for them 'till the very end!" Sunset looked down at the girls and smiled. 'You've all grown up so much, and I couldn't be more proud.'
Sonata looked back at her sisters. "Come on Ari, Dagi, let's go out there in the Tag Battles and win this thing!"
Adagio and Aria looked at one another and then at Sonata. "Yeah!"
Sonata, Aria, and Adagio stared down with Leon, Dean, and Gabby. All six avatars; Achilles, Apocalypse, Spryzen, Devolos, Luinor, and Genesis loom over them. The Tag Battles would be beginning soon, how would things go, it would be up to the bond the Bladers forged with their Beys.
Preview: Now that the 1v1 battles are over it's time for the Tag Team Battles to take place. Starting things off Aria and Adagio decide to join forces, their opponents? Leon and Dean. Will Adagio and Aria be able to overcome the power of Luinor and Devolos or will Achilles and Apocalypse succumb to the mighty duo of Dean and Leon?
Next time on Dazzling Bladers! Raging Tag Battle! Aria vs Leon!"
Author's Note
I apologize for being away, I had no intention on staying away for so long. Something happened and well.. long story short I'll be staying home for a while. Which is a good thing because it'll allow me to post for often and update my stories rather than you guys waiting. Again I apologize, and I can't wait to continue writing again.
46. Raging Tag Battle! Aria vs Leon!
Screams and cheers could be heard throughout the battle arena. Currently sitting down the Dazzlings were trying to brainstorm, but it was becoming an issue as Adagio and Aria were coughing due to the steam coming out of Sonata's head.
"Do you mind toning down the steam by a bit Nata?" Aria coughed. "I can't think straight with all this steam in my face."
Adagio let out a moan in distraught. "This steam is ruining my hair! Sonata stop with the steam this instant or I'll make you stop!"
Sonata's face was red as steam still protruded from her head. "I can't help it, I'm trying to think of a strategey. These next three Battles are two vs two, and Gabby and her team could send out anyone. Gabby and Leon, Gabby and Dean, and even Leon and Dean. All of those possibilities are making my brain hurt." The steam coming out erupted as the steam began to fill the arena.
Aria quickly snagged a water bottle and poured it over Sonata's head to cool her down. "Quit thinking, it's not good for someone like you." The steam stopped and Sonata shook her head to get the water off of her.
Sonata looked up at Aria with a glare. "Well, then you tell me what we should do? We're already behind, if we lose again we'll be back at square one by being behind by two points again!"
Looking up at the overhead monitor and then at Gabby's team a lightbulb went off in Adagio's mind. "Girls, I think I know what they might do in the Fourth Round." Aria and Sonata looked over at Adagio and listened. "They know that they're ahead, and they'll want to keep that lead, so strategically speaking they would send out their strongest two, and who are their strongest two Bladers they have?"
Raising her hand Sonata began to wave it frantically in the air. "Oh! I know! I know! Pick me!" Aria and Adagio rolled their eyes at their sister's antics.
Letting out a little giggle Adagio pointed at Sonata. "Yes, Sonata?"
With confidence, Sonata smiled and looked and her sister. "It's Gabby and Leon!"
Aria rolled her eyes. "Looks like you're not a complete idiot."
"Thanks, Ari!" Sonata then realized what Aria had said. "Hey! I'm smart.. kinda."
"Sure you are." Adagio looked at Leon and Gabby. "Knowing they're most likely to go with those two we should team up accustomed to who they go with." Looking down at her hand Achilles began to shine as its aura surrounded it. "I've defeated both Gabby and Leon before so I think Achilles and I going up is a no-brainer. Does anyone have a problem with that?"
Both Aria and Sonata shook their heads. "Nope, go ahead Dagi. And since I just defeated Leon I think me and Spryzen should..." Before Sonata finished she saw Aria look down in sorrow. Letting out a smile and sigh Sonata made up her mind. "What I meant to say was that I think Aria and her Prime Apocalypse should go up."
Turning to head to face Sonata, Aria looked at Sonata confused. "Really, why? I've lost to Leon already."
Sonata looked at Aria and smiled. "Which is perfect for you to go out there and get revenge! Apocalypse and Achilles' strength will be enough to turn the tide in this Battle! Go out there and give everyone a show they'll never forget!"
Adagio and Aria smiled as they faced each other, they fist-bumped as they made their way to the stage. "Let's go out there and get us a win! What do you say, Aria?"
Aria nodded her head. "Yeah!"
Making their way to the stage, Aria and Adagio saw two others make their way. Dean and Leon.
Shocked Aria looked at Adagio. "I thought they would've sent out Leon and Gabby!? Why are they going with Dean and Leon?"
"Perhaps going with their strongest two at the beginning was too predictable. But it doesn't matter, Devolos is a Balance Type while Luinor is an Attack Type just like Achilles and Apocalypse. Dean will likely go with its Right spin as Luinor spins counterclockwise." Adagio began to adjust Achilles. "I'll put Achilles in Defense to counter their attacks."
Aria nodded as she got into position. "Adagio listen to me, I'm going to try something risky but if it works we very well might will this match."
Aria then whispered something in Adagio's ear, it made Adagio's eyes widen as she looked at Aria in surprise. "You're really going all out with that plan? If this backfires on us..."
Aria shook her head. "Don't think like that, you just have to believe that this will work."
Adagio sighed. "Alright, hopefully, this works." All the Bladers got into position as they waited for the call.
"Bladers get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone in the arena yelled.
The four Beys took to the stadium as Achilles raced to the center, Apocalypse ran around the stadium, and Luinor and Devolos made their way toward Achilles.
"Let's wrap this up before they know what even hit them, Dean!" Leon yelled.
"You got it, Leon! Now charge Devolos!" Dean yelled.
"Tear them apart with Zone Slam!/Master Upper!" As the two Beys made their way to Achilles, Adagio made her move.
Unleashing a roar Adagio's aura raised from the ashes. "LET'S SHOW THEM WHO'S BOSS ACHILLES!" The avatar of Achilles came to life as it shined bright red with aura. "Charge up Unison Counter!"
Leon gasped as he turned to Dean. "Don't let her finish charging up her attack! Finish her before while she's vulnerable!" Dean nodded as Devolos came in and started to attack Achilles over and over again, with Luinor following its movements.
The two Beys attacked over and over again and Achilles was coming close to its limit, Adagio looked at Aria who was smiling as her plan was going just as planned. Aria then looked at Adagio and nodded as then it was now Adagio who was smiling.
"Awesome, Achilles!! Now let 'em have it!" With all the energy it had charged up Achilles unleashed its counterattack and both Luinor and Devolos were sent flying. Luinor flew to the upper deck hitting the wall and then falling into the speed crater while Devolos flew across the arena, where Apocalypse just so happened to be heading too.
"We're winning this thing! Omega Blast!" Apocalypse slammed into Devolos pushing it forward as the two engaged in a side-to-side clash. "What's wrong? Where'd all that talk from earlier go?" Pushing harder Apocalypse began to drive Devolos toward the wall.
Meanwhile, Luinor was in the speed crater starting to pick up speed. "Take to the skies my beast! Luinor, go!" Luinor's avatar shined as it quickly reached quicker speeds as it then shot out of the speed crater and into the air. "Dean! It's time!"
Dean nodded and smiled. "DEVOLOS!" Devolos shined as its avatar came to burst. With newfound strength, it sent Apocalypse flying as it then charged toward Achilles. "Take on this attack! Master Upper!" Devolos barrels into Achilles sending it flying into the air.
Adagio gasps as Leon smirks. "It's over, Champion! Finish them with Zone Hammer!" Luinor crashes into Achilles from above sending it flying toward the stadium, Achilles slams into the flooring of the stadium causing it to burst. As Dean and Leon celebrated they seemed to have forgotten about someone very important.
"NOW APOCALYPSE!" Darkness radiated from Apocalypse as it headed toward the freefalling Luinor. "Engulf them into the darkness with your Final Blast!" Immense energy was pressed into one attack as Apocalypse collides with Luinor forcing an explosion to occur. Leon and Dean gasp as they both then cover their faces.
The force of the impact was enough to send Luinor flying toward Devolos, the two Beys make contact and Devolos goes flying into the wall and burst while Luinor was beginning to falter. Adagio looks at Aria in shock, as much as Aria's plan sounded crazy it worked.
Flashback...
Aria put her face close to Adagio's ear and began to speak her plan. "Look, Adagio, I know this may sound risky but I want you to battle the two of them in a two vs one. They will likely try to get rid of you as fast as they can and then deal with me later. If you can keep them busy and make them waste a bit of their stamina I and Apocalypse will come in and finish things up. We'll catch them off guard and win this thing, even if they can somehow beat you and Achilles they'll be weak and exhausted."
Adagio scratched the back of her head. "If you say so, Ari." Adagio then looks down at Achilles and smiles. "But, I don't think that'll be happening. Me and Achilles will blow them away before you and Apocalypse even have the chance to strike. Remember, we're the Champions and champions don't lose to anyone."
Aria rolled her eyes and laughed. "Sure, whatever you say Champion." The two smiled at each other as they then got into position.
End of Flashback...
"Finish them off Apocalypse!" Apocalypse raced toward Luinor as it crashes into Luinor sending it flying into the air. "End them before they can land! Prime Reboot!" Digging into the stadium Apocalypse's driver shoot out like a rocket and headed to its foe.
Looking up at the sky Leon took a deep breath. "If you think you're gonna beat us this easily you're gravely mistaken! Show them who's the boss! Diving Zone Hammer!" Luinor's blue aura shines as it starts to fall from the sky like a meteorite as it begins falling toward Apocalypse.
Luinor and Apocalypse collide as a clash of black and blue fill the arena. The two Beys get blown away and land on opposite sides of the stadium, Luinor lands on the lower deck while Apocalypse landed in the speed crater and starts picking up high speeds. "Now let's end this! Primal Sphere!" Apocalypse shot out of the speed crater and toward Luinor, a black sphere surrounding it as it headed to the all-mighty dragon.
"Breakthrough with Zone Slam!" Luinor slams into the sphere with all its might, as it tries to break the sphere. The sphere however didn't budge and sent Luinor reeling backward. "That sphere is going to be a problem..." Leon looks down and notices that Luinor is starting to run low on stamina and is starting to falter. A small drop dripped from his forehead, "This isn't good... I need to finish this and fast."
"Look alive Leon!" Leon looked up and saw Aria give off a devilish smile. "You may have defeated me in the previous tournament but this time... I'll be the winner!" Luinor was swaying back and forth as Apocalypse made its charge toward its almost-down opponent. "End their Blading career! Hit it with a Final Blast and burst them!"
Apocalypse hits Luinor causing an explosion, the sound of a Bey bursting could be heard and Aria smiled brightly. When the dust cleared, however... the pieces of Apocalypse were scattered on the flooring of the stadium. Aria, Leon, Adagio, Sonata, and everyone in the arena gasped as they looked down at the burst Apocalypse and Luinor who had just stopped spinning.
"Zone Luinor with a Burst Finish! The Dragonslayers take the battle royale! The score is 3-1!" The crowd cheered as Adagio and Aria sadly returned to the sidelines.
Aria sat down and looked down at the ground in shame. "I don't understand, what happened? Everything was going according to plan, so what went wrong? Apocalypse should've been able to burst Luinor right then and there so how did our power come back at us like that?" Just then Aria felt a hand on her shoulder, she looked up to see Adagio looking up at the overhead monitor.
Pointing at the screen Adagio realizes what went wrong. "I think that'll answer your question." Aria looked up at the overhead monitor. Apocalypse came running in and hit Luinor with its metal blade and then Apocalypse burst. "Luinor was running low on speed, Apocalypse came flying in with a higher speed, whether it was intentional or not Luinor unleashed a slow-motion burst. But judging by Leon's face he didn't know either, all it was, was bad luck. Had Apocalypse continued to keep its distance and waited Luinor would've eventually come to a stop."
Looking at Adagio, Aria then looked down at the ground. "If only I had been patient and didn't pounce on him... we would've won... the score would be different, the gap between us would be shorter, now we're right back to square one. I'm sorry, I failed you both." Sonata and Adagio looked down at Aria, sad that she was upset. Sonata then walked over to Aria and put her hand on Aria's shoulder.
"It's okay Ari, we all make mistakes. That's just how we learn..." Sonata looks up at the screen showing the score, 3-1. "We're not out just yet, we can still turn this around. Gabby now realizes the position we're in." Sonata and her sisters look over at Gabby who is blankly staring into nothing, it was as if she didn't have a care in the world as to what was happening. "She's going up, I can feel it, that's why me and Spryzen are going up next." Sonata looked down to see Spryzen's flames burning with excitement, she then looked at the sad Aria and smiled. "And I want you to join me, Aria!"
Startled by what Sonata said Aria looked up. "Me!? Did you not just see what I just did? We could've won that, but I messed everything up for us! Go with Dagi, you two will make a great team and probably actually win."
Sonata smiled and shook her head. "There's only one person I want to team up with and that's you, Ari! You and me, Spryzen and Apocalypse! We can do this, I can't do this without you. Let's go out there and turn this thing around, together!" Sonata put her hand out and waited for Aria to put her hand out. Aria looked at the hand and then into Sonata's eyes. Sonata's eyes were filled with a burning passion, much brighter than ever before, Sonata was serious and she was going to do whatever it took to win.
Aria put her hand on Sonata's and stood up. "Let's go out there and win, no matter what we will win! We can turn this around, together!" Sonata and Aria looked at each other and smiled, they hugged and then looked at Adagio. "Adagio, just you wait and see, when we come back we'll have won!"
Adagio smiled and nodded. "Then go out there and show me a victory!" Sonata and Aria nodded as they made their way to the stadium. When the two made their way to the stadium the two Bladers across from them were Dean and Gabby. "So in order to win Aria and Sonata they have to beat Gabby and Dean, a strong duo indeed."
Gabby looked at Sonata and Aria who was setting up a plan, she looked down at Genesis who was shining. "I know Genesis, this is our chance to crush them once and for all!" Gabby then looked at Aria and Sonata, the avatar of Genesis looming over her, with her white aura surrounding her. "This is the end, Dazzlings." Gabby devilishly smiles as her eyes glow. Things were just getting started as the Fifth Round is about to get underway.
Preview: The Fifth Round begins, a round that the Dazzlings so desperately need to win. Sonata and Aria walk up to the plate as their opponents are Gabby and Dean. The Battle begins but midway through the Battle, something mysterious starts to happen with Gabby and her Bey.
Next time on Dazzling Bladers! Unburstable Power! Genesis Charging!
47. Unburstable Power! Genesis Charging!
The four Bladers continued to stare down as the Tag Team Battle was about to begin. Gabby's burning passion continued to burn bright as Dean stood beside her. On the other side, Aria and Sonata were still coming up with a plan to win. If they lost, they would be further behind than ever and be one loss away from losing.
Sonata side-eyed the two Bladers across from them. "Gabby's going to be the most difficult to deal with, and with Dean, you can never cross him out. Genesis and Devolos, a Defense and Balance Type. And now that Genesis has undergone its evolution, the power it harnesses is much greater than before. Our best bet is to deal with Dean first after we can deal with knocking out Gabby together."
Aria nodded and attached Apocalypse to its launcher. "Seems after all these years you finally got smart. Fine, you and I will charge Dean and Devolos with all we got right from the get-go. Our surprise attack will catch them off guard for sure. Then the two of us will double-team Gabby and win this thing!" Sonata smiled and nodded as she began to adjust Spryzen and attach it to its launcher.
"Ari, I'm putting Spryzen in counterclockwise spinning Stamina Mode. You and Apocalypse all ready have the attack power we need, and trying to face Genesis in a defensive showdown would likely result in defeat. Going with Stamina Mode is the best option knowing Dean he'll go with Left spin as Genesis already spins clockwise. We also have to be sure Genesis doesn't reach the center and allow it to increase its defenses." It was then Aria's turn to nod as both she and Sonata got into position.
Gabby looked at the two with a hatred expression, turning her head she faced Dean. "Leave these two to me, you can do whatever you please." Dean simply nodded his head as he got into position as Gabby followed his movement.
"Tag Team Battle! Get ready and set!" The referee cried out as he threw his arm in the air.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone in the arena yelled.
With that the four Beys were off, Genesis rushed to the center as Apocalypse came in red hot. Meanwhile, Devolos and Spryzen raced around the stadium waiting for the other one to make a move. Sonata looked at Aria and Aria nodded as she understood what she had to do.
"Don't let them reach the center! Hit 'em with an Omega Blast!" Aria smiles as Apocalypse charges in to attack Genesis. However she didn't see the devilish smirk form on Gabby's face, what Aria didn't know was that Gabby had other plans.
"Eclipse Pulse!" A purple shield forms around Genesis, and Apocalypse slams into the shield and gets sent back. Aria gasps as Genesis had now taken the center, exactly what they didn't want to happen. Gabby smiles as she folds her arms, her aura burning even brighter around her. "If you really thought it was going to be that easy to take down my Genesis then you're stupider than you look!" Gabby closed her eyes as she then opened them, her eyes glowed a blood red. "WE'LL WIN JUST LIKE WE ALWAYS SHOULD!!" Letting out an ear-piercing scream as Gabby's hair flew up and out of control. "GENESIS!" Genesis shined bright as its avatar was unleashed.
Sonata gasped as Gabby looked exactly like a monster from a nightmare. "Aria!" Aria turned to look at Sonata and when she saw Sonata's face she could see the fear in her eyes along with sweat running down her face. "Stop trying to face Genesis, just help me and focus on Devolos!"
"On it! You heard her Apocalypse strike Devolos with all you got!" As Apocalypse began its charge toward Devolos with Spryzen but Gabby once again had other plans.
"DON'T IGNORE ME! SHINE BRIGHT WITH SUPERIOR-FLUX!!" Genesis shined as it headed toward the three Beys and Genesis slams into Spryzen and sends it flying.
Sonata gasps. "Spryzen!" Spryzen hangs on and races around to charge once again. However, coming from behind and fast was Devolos. "Oh no! Get out of there Spryzen!"
"You can't escape us Sonata!" Dean yelled as he smiled. "Now use Master Upp-!"
"OH NO YOU DON'T SHE'LL FALL TO ME AND ONLY ME!!" Genesis came rushing in but Devolos was in her path. "GET OUT OF MY WAY DEAN!" Genesis crashes into Devolos making it rocket into the air. Genesis made its way closer and closer to Spryzen. "NOW YOUR MINE!"
"Not on my watch! Make your great escape with Counter Break!" Spryzen driver digs into stadium grounding and speeds up to its quick getaway. Genesis misses its mark and races past Spryzen. Sonata smiles as Gabby growls. 'She just got lucky this time, it won't happen again.' As Devolos began to fall back down from the sky Apocalypse just happened to get in its path.
Dean notices this and smirks. "GO DEVOLOS!" Devolos shined red as its avatar came to life. "Take them down with Master Smash!" Aria stared as Devolos made its way down from the sky and toward Apocalypse as it got closer Aria smirked.
"Apocalypse! Destroy them!" Darkness engulfed Apocalypse as it waited to pounce on Devolos. "Take aim and fire with Final Blast!" The two Beys clash as Apocalypse was sent into the stadium wall as Devolos was sent flying into the air and toward Genesis. Apocalypse began to wobble but Aria wasn't going to go down that easily. "Use Prime Reboot!" Apocalypse shot out like a missile as it sped up the slope and into the speed crater. "Sonata! It's time!" Sonata nodded as the two got ready to unleash their counterattack.
"SPRYZEN/APOCALYPSE!" The two Beys glow with their auras, Spryzen with red and Apocalypse with black. The two avatars burst to life as the two then begin charging up. Sonata looked to see Devolos come flying toward Spryzen she then looked across the stadium to see Genesis, and a plan started to brew in her mind. 'If I time this correctly... then just maybe...' "Use Lord Whip!"
Spryzen slams into Devolos and Devolos goes flying across the stadium.. right where Genesis was heading. Gabby's eyes widen but it's only for a second as she decides to counter. "SEND IT BACK WITH ECLIPSE WHIP!" Genesis then collides with Devolos and sends it right back to Spryzen. Just then an intense game of Beyblade ping pong begins, Genesis and Spryzen continued to hit Devolos and sent it flying toward the other.
With being sent back and forth Dean looked at Devolos with worry. "Devolos! Just hold on tight!" Devolos continued to be in the middle of the action as it was hit over and over again. Meanwhile, Apocalypse was still in the speed crater as it continued to speed up.
Seeing that everyone else was distracted from her Aria made her move. "Take flight Apocalypse!" Apocalypse shot out of the speed crater and into the air, it then dived toward Genesis who was unalert to the danger coming from above. "Finish them with Primal Sphere!" A black sphere-like shape surrounds Apocalypse as it crashed on top of Genesis. The force from the collision is enough to send Genesis reeling backward and plows into the wall.
Sonata sees these as her chance and smiles. "Go forth Spryzen! Lord Whip full power!" Spryzen clashes with Devolos who was already heading toward it. The two collide and Spryzen burst through Devolos as if it was a piece of cake. With Devolos now out of the Battle Aria and Sonata could now focus on handling Gabby and Genesis. Sonata smiles and looks at Aria, "This is our chance let's finish Gabby and win this thing!"
"Yeah!" Aria smiles and the two face Gabby. Gabby was looking down at the ground at Genesis who was starting to falter. "Now go!" Both Apocalypse and Spryzen raced toward Genesis, if they hit Gabby would surely lose.
Gabby's breath started to pick up, her vision started to get dizzy, and her legs felt weak as she started to sway back and forth. Just then her head started to hurt as if a massive headache started to occur. "I... refuse to lose. I.. can't lose.. not here.. not ever... I don't want to be weak.. not again."
"Then leave this Battle to me." Gabby looks up to see who was talking and to her surprise was Genesis staring down at her. "You don't want to be weak, right? If you want to be the strongest let me take control of this Battle. Let my hand guide you in this battle, and rest assured we'll be victorious. What do you say, or would you rather go back in your past and be weak again." Genesis put out its hand and waited for Gabby's call. "What is your decision?"
Gabby looks at Genesis and then thought back at her awful past. 'Ever since I was young kids would bully me... my school life sucked and my home life wasn't any better. It wasn't until I met Aaron and got my hands on Genesis was when I finally started feeling powerful, I felt like I could do anything. But then those pesky Dazzlings had to come into my life and ruin everything, because of them... I started feeling weak again. I refuse to feel or be weak ever again!'
Putting out her hand the two connected. "I trust you, don't you dare fail me." Genesis and Gabby stare at one another in the eyes at that moment Gabby could feel the connection they had with one another. She could truly feel the bond between Blader and Bey.
"I never have and never will." Gabby smiles as she floats over to Genesis and hugs it, a small tear falling from her eye. 'Thank you... Genesis.'
Just then a light filled the void and when Gabby opened her eyes, her eyes glowed bright and her hair flew in multiple directions, he teeth turned sharp like fangs and little small pony ears appeared along with a pair of wings that sprouted from behind. Gabby was no longer Gabby, she had become a horrific demon. "I'm going to win this match and annihilate everything and everyone you love... you know why Dazzlings?.. BECAUSE I'M THE STRONGEST, I AM, GENESIS!!!!" Gabby's voice sounded demonic, it was as if she was being controlled by the devil himself.
People in the audience gasped at the new form of Gabby. Some kids in the audience began to cry and others started to leave as they got scared. Aria and Sonata took a step back in fear, they were not expecting this to happen. But then again, who could have predicted something like this to happen midway through Battle? Up in the stands Aaron was watching everything that was unfolding and smiled. "She finally tapped into a newfound power much deeper than ever before. This world will go through a change of its own once I'm done with it." Aaron watched with a smile as Gabby yelled scaring people even more as Genesis quickly raced up the slope and into the speed crater. "Show them the strongest Bey the world has ever seen!"
"Hybrid Force!" Genesis sped up and raced up the slope and into the speed crater getting even more speed. Aria and Sonata nodded as they knew they had to go to the next level. "DARK FLUX/HYPER FLUX!" Apocalypse was engulfed in darkness as Spryzen was engulfed with a radiant golden shine. The two Beys speed up and raced around the stadium waiting for Genesis to come down and make its move. Gabby watched the two Beys race around the stadium from below and smiled.
"No matter what you try to do you can never defeat me!" Genesis then shot out of the speed crater and raced down the slope. It raced right toward Spryzen and Apocalypse who had just changed their trajectory to head toward Genesis. "THIS IS IT!" Gabby points a finger toward Spryzen and Apocalypse with Genesis charging up an attack from behind. "ECLIPSE WHIP!!"
"FINAL BLAST/LORD SPRYZEN: S!" The three Beys collide as a whirlwind picks up in the center, and the three Bladers yell out as their Beys clash. While attacking the Eclipse Armor moved, Aria noticed it but it was too late as Genesis sliced through the two Beys. Sonata and Aria gasp as Spryzen and Apocalypse burst as their pieces fall onto the stadium floor.
"Eclipse Genesis with a Burst Finish! Dragonslayers take it! The score is now 4-1!" The crowd cheered as Aria and Sonata looked down at their defeated Beys. Everything had happened so fast that they still didn't even realize what had happened.
"And just like that, it's over! With one mighty blow, Eclipse Genesis singlehandedly burst both Spryzen and Apocalypse! That brings the Dragonslayer to four wins, and the Dazzlings are on the brink of defeat!" The announcer said as the crowd cheered.
Up in the stands Sunset and her friends watched. "Gabby got a double burst finish, what power.." Sunset looked at Tom. "How can they take down something that powerful? Genesis very well could be unstoppable at this point."
Tom looked at his wife. "These are your daughters, they can do anything." However what he said and what he thought were two different things. 'Genesis might just be impossible to beat..'
Gabby put her arm in the air with Genesis shining in her hand. "The era of this Blading league has come to an end! The weak have no place here, only the strongest can survive!" Aria and Sonata watch as Gabby gives one last stare and heads to her sidelines. They bent down and picked up their Beys, they then looked at each other sadly and made their way to their sidelines where Adagio was waiting with a just as sad expression.
Aria kicked the bench and then sat down with her arms crossed as Sonata sadly sat down and looked down at the ground, small tears were starting to form in her eyes. Adagio looked at her two younger sisters, as much as it pained her to see them like that she didn't know what to say to make things better. They were in a dire situation, if they lost again they would be out and their opponent knew that all too well. Gabby had pretty much said they were going to win, and as much as Adagio hate to say it, it was looking like that was coming true.
Up in the stands Sunset watched as her daughters struggled to think of something. As she stared at them however she didn't notice a figure more up in the stands standing up in the back up against the wall leaning on it. The person was Gilda as she had just gotten to the stadium and watched the entire match, seeing how Gabby turned into a monster she realized how she failed Gabby as a mother.
She looked up to the ceiling and sighed. "If there's any sort of way for a miracle right now, I would greatly appreciate it." She then looked down at where Gabby was sitting. "I just want my daughter back the way she use to be." A small tear escaped Gilda's eye. "Just bring my daughter back to me. Please..."
Preview: The Sixth and Final Round of the Tag Team Battles commences. To want to stay alive in the competition, Adagio and Sonata must overcome the almighty duo of Leon and Gabby. In order to win, Sonata and Adagio are going to have to give it everything they have. The climax of the Tag Team Battles has just begun.

48. A Dazzling Bond! Ultimate Tag Battle!
Flashback...
A little Gabby walked into the living room of her house to see her mother once again laying across the couch with beer bottles all around her. Gilda was in a deep hungover as she snored in her sleep after the long night of drinking away. "Momma? Wake up, I'm hungry." However, the hungover mother stayed asleep unaware of her daughter's words. The little girl sighed as she went over to the kitchen to make some cereal to clinch her hunger.
As she ate her breakfast she looked outside to see two boys playing football with their dad, the three of them all had smiles on their faces at the fun they were having. Gabby looked out the window at the scene and sighed, she wished for a relationship like that with her family. She also wished she had a dad just like all the other families she would see. She played with her food as small tears escaped, life wasn't fair, life was a cruel and painful thing. Just then a strong light beamed above her, she covered her eyes so as to not be blinded. When she looked again she saw Genesis standing before her. "Take my hand and you'll life will be great from here on out." Gabby looked at the creature in awe, slowly but surely she reached out her hand and took Genesis's. "You've made the right choice my dear, now all will be well." Just then both Gabby and Genesis were engulfed by a bright white light.
Gabby opened her eyes to hear the cheers of the crowd, she looked around and saw that she was no longer in her nightmare but back in the stadium arena. She saw Dean and Leon discussing a plan of action, while the Dazzlings were talking, most likely trying to find a way to turn things around. "Alright, ladies and gentlemen! The fate of the Blading world hangs in the balance as these Tag Team Battles continue! Will the Dragonslayers seize the last Battle of the day and secure their ultimate victory? Or will the Dazzlings pull through with their resolve and delay the final outcome until tomorrow? Everything comes down to this last Tag Team Battle!"
"That's not even a question." Gabby looked down at Genesis as she thought back to the previous Battle. "There's absolutely no way they can win this with their abilities." She remembered back when both Apocalypse and Spryzen burst to her attack. Gabby's eyes glowed her aura radiated off of her. "There's just no way I'll allow them to win!"
"They can still win the next one, right?" Twilight asked.
"Of course, they can! Our girls always pull through. That's how they got here, that's what they're all about." Sunset said in response, but Tom looked at her and saw that she had her hands were shaking.
Tom looked at the girls with determination. "Come on girls, you have to win."
Back at the stands Sonata looked at Spryzen and thought back to the last Battle. "In that Battle earlier, when the Armor shifted, I pushed the sword in." Aria gasped as she looked at Adagio. Adagio looked back at Aria and nodded her head with a smile.
Aria smiled back and thought. "That means we've gotta shift the Armor over and wait for the center to glow red. Then we push in the sword to trigger the mechanism, and it might just burst. We'd need a lot of coordination to pull that off." Aria looked down at Apocalypse and smirked. "Adagio, Sonata... you've got this."
Adagio looked at Aria in surprise. "Aria, I..."
"Dagi! Let's go burst these guys with an epic combo!" Adagio looked at Aria who nodded.
"Yeah! You're right! For the next Battle, we'll be going with you and me. These Battle decides it all so we can't afford to lose..." Adagio's shoulders started to shake. Aria and Sonata saw this and started to worry.
Sonata took a step forward. "Hey, Adagio are you-"
Just then Adagio looked at her sisters with a big smile. "Doesn't it make your heart race with excitement? No matter what it takes, let's go out there and make that feeling surge! Let's go show everyone watching just how strong we are. Trust me, there isn't a better team than us!" Adagio took a deep breath. "Now let's get goin'!"
"Yeah!" The three girls fist-bumped as Sonata and Adagio made their way to the stadium.
"Hold on to the phone! The Dazzling are sending out Sonata and Adagio to tussle with Leon and Gabby!" The crowd cheered as Sunset looked at her two girls.
"Alright, Adagio, Sonata. Don't let us down, you two. Show everyone in here the greatest Tag Battle ever!" Aria yelled.
Gabby looked at the two and scoffed. "Well, you just never learn your lesson."
"Now Game Six! The Final Tag Battle is now commencing!" The four Bladers got into position as they were ready to take off.
"Sonata..." Sonata looked up to see Adagio looking at her. "I've got your back." Sonata smiled as she looked ahead, a fire was burning inside of her heart.
Sonata and Gabby looked each other in the eyes as if both thinking the same thing. 'I will end this right here and now.'
"Now get ready and set!" The referee announced.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
The four Beys launch into the stadium, with Achilles racing after Genesis and Luinor racing after Spryzen. Adagio had decided to go on the attack and with it in full power Attack Mode with the Union sword attached, as Sonata had put Spryzen in Left spinning Stamina Mode.
"The Dazzlings dropped some fiery launches!" Achilles quickly makes it's way over to Genesis. "Unison Achilles is on the offensive!" Gabby just watched as she wasn't worried. Achilles and Genesis collide as they get pushed away and come swinging back in with a head-to-head collision. "It's only the beginning of the Match, and they're already dishing out some major impact!"
Leon watches and chuckles. "Don't forget about me... Adagio!" Luinor changes course and heads toward Achilles, but then all of a sudden Spyrzen comes out of nowhere and starts pushing it back. Lord Spryzen rushes in for a direct attack and starts pushing Zone Luinor backward, away from Genesis and Achilles.
Leon looks at Spryzen pushing back Luinor in surprise. "Would you look at that! Sonata is proving to be the perfect match for Leon!"
Sonata saw this and smiled. "Unfortunately for you, I am your opponent."
Leon growled at this and yelled. "Get out of my way!" Luinor started to launch a fierce counterattack, however, every time Spryzen would shut it down. Leon let out a battle cry, it was time to get serious. "LUINOR!" Luinor was engulfed in a blue aura as its avatar was unleashed. Luinor made its way to Spryzen as it charged up its power. "Zone Slam!"
Adagio saw this and smiled, she was still in a head-to-head collision with Gabby and Genesis but she had a plan. "ACHILLES!" It was now Achilles' turn as it radiated its red aura as the avatar to Achilles was unleashed and ready to strike. "Unison Sword!" Achilles strikes Genesis giving it no time to escape, Gabby gasps as Genesis goes flying but is able to survive for another day. Achilles then races its way to Luinor to shut it down for good. "Now, Unison Upper!"
Leon looks up in the air. "What?!" Gabby looked at the scene and sighed. 'As predicted, they're going for the armor which means they're aiming for a burst.' Luinor then falls right in front of her face. 'But it's impossible.'
"Lord Whip!" Lord Spryzen goes on the attack as it was taking aim at the free-falling Luinor! Leon started to stress as sweat dripped from his forehead. "Now go!" Spryzen charged toward Luinor but at the last second Genesis came in front of Spryzen and stopped it in its tracks. 'She read our attack perfectly.' Sonata looked at Adagio and the two nodded. "We aren't done! Next one for sure!"
"It's no use!" Eclipse Genesis shifts into gear and races across the upper deck. "It's over. Eclipse Whip!" Genesis channeled its power into one strike as it raced down the upper deck and toward Spryzen. Sonata covered her arms to block the attack as everyone in the stadium looked in terror for what was to come.
The sound of Sonata yelling could be heard. "Now go Spryzen!" Spryzen fired up with an aura as its fighting spirit was being pushed to the max as the avatar burst to life. "Counter Break!"
"I've already calculated your trajectory. There is no escaping us." Gabby smiled, Sonata noticed this and closed her eyes. 'Come on I'm begging you... SPRYZEN!' Time seemed to stop but like a red bolt of lightning Spryzen shot away, evading Genesis's attack. Gabby gasped at the fact that Spryzen had dodged the attack. 'What just happened? How did she...?'
Spryzen began to pick us speed as it headed near Luinor with Achilles right behind. "Let's go, Dagi! I'm trusting you. Now watch my back!" Spryzen started to push forward as Luinor was completely defenseless! Leon gasped as Spryzen slammed into Luinor sending it up in the air as Achilles came from behind to deliver the finishing blow. "End this!"
"Now Achilles!" Achilles rams into Luinor sending it flying out of the ring and out of commission. Leon gasped as Adagio and Sonata smiled at what they did, Gabby meanwhile was looking at the ground trying to understand what was going on.
"How?" Gabby's voice was shaky, she was starting to hyperventilate. "This is impossible. Even Eclipse Whip failed."
"Sonata!" Gabby looked up at Adagio. "You can still keep going, right?"
"Oh, yeah. We can go a lot further if we do it together!" Gabby then began to remember all the memories she had of the Dazzlings, from back to when they first meet and got it a fight, to the first tournament and her destroying Turbo Spryzen but then losing to Adagio, and now here. They always seemed to get in the way, and now they were right here when she was so close to getting what she wanted.
"Shut up." Sonata looked over at Gabby in confusion. "I hate you! I wish you had never existed! When I'm done with you you'll be extinct! GENESIS!" The avatar of Genesis came to life as a white aura began to surround it, Gabby too began to transform as she went into her demon-like state once again. Genesis then quickly slams into Spryzen pushing it back, but it wasn't finished as it began to collide pushing Spryzen up to the upper deck and toward the wall.
"Holy Moly! Eclipse Genesis isn't ready to throw in the towel yet. Will this Battle end right here and now?" Sonata was sent toward a pit of fire but Adagio put out her hand to catch Sonata before her fall. Achilles came from behind and stopped Spryzen from colliding with the wall, however, Genesis was still pushing on. "This is incredible! Achilles arrives just in the nick of time!"
Sonata turns around to look at Adagio. "Dagi I-"
"Eyes front, Nata!" Sonata gasped. "From this moment on, this Battle is yours!" Using all her strength Adagio pulled Sonata away from the pit and toward Gabby. Achilles started to push harder as it underwent its Hyper-Flux state. Adagio's eyes glowed as she was getting down to business. "Let's go, Achilles!" Achilles' avatar stood before Spryzen's avatar as it used its shield to block Genesis's avatar from getting through.
"It's pushing back! Achilles is pushing back, and it's not stopping! And check this out! Spryzen's spin is getting even faster!" The announcer yelled.
Adagio thought back to all the good times she had, had with Sonata, she could only smile as she thought back to all the incredible things Sonata had done. "Keep going, Sonata. I'm leaving it all to you!" The transformation then began as Adagio grew her wings, tail, and ears as her aura exploded like a firework.
"Lord Spryzen is accelerating out of this world, absorbing all of the power from Achilles!" Sonata could feel the power coursing through her veins, Sonata lit up with a golden aura as she launched toward Gabby. Gabby was surprised but quickly caught herself as Genesis took the hit.
"Go away!" Genesis lights up as it too underwent its Superior-Flux state.
"Eclipse Genesis responds with some gnarly acceleration of its own!" It was too much as then Adagio was pushed back. Taking most of the blow Achilles was sent into the air and burst from the pressure. Achilles had completely exhausted its power.
Adagio looked at Sonata and smiled, "Go get 'em, Sonata!" Genesis and Spryzen fought in a head-to-head clash with neither of them giving up.
Inside of Gabby's black void, a small hole appeared as a small light filled the void. Gabby looked to see Sonata trying to get in, she growled as she and Genesis charged toward Sonata and Spryzen. "DISAPPEAR!!" With one last push both Beys were sent flying out of the stadium with Genesis hitting the ground just a second before.
"It's Lord Spryzen with a Ring-Out Finish! The Dazzlings are the winners!" The referee declared.
The crowd cheers at the Dazzling's accomplishment. "And there you have it, folks! The Dazzlings live up to their name and show us a Dazzling Performance as they snag their Second win! Looks like we'll be wrapping things up with tomorrow's showdown!" The referee declared as the crowd cheered.
"You did amazing girls!" Sunset couldn't help but shed a tear as Tom hugged her tight.
Aria couldn't help but get emotional too as she held back some tears of her own. "You two idiots really did it. We really do make the best team."
Sonata went over to Adagio to help pick up her from that exhausting Battle. "Adagio. That Battle was the best one ever!"
Sonata put out her hand for Adagio. Adagio looked at it and smiled as she took it. "Yeah."
Gabby looked down at Genesis in disbelief, with a blank expression. "But how."
Preview: After winning the Tag Team Battle the Dazzlings now have some wiggle room. Once again the one-on-one Battles are on, Aria takes to the stage for another victory but Leon has different plans as he steps up to the challenge to finish this showdown for good. With Aria having lost to him twice already she's determined to win and help her team get closer to winning. Will Aria finally be able to break her losing cycle to Leon or will she win and make her team one step closer to sweet victory?
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Revenge Match! Defeat Leon!

49. Revenge Match! Defeat Leon!
That night once the Dazzlings got home they immediately went to the living room to start to brew up a strategy for tomorrow, tomorrow would be the day where they either win or lose it all. Adagio had been able to connect the TV in the living room so that they could watch all of today's previous matches.
"We're down 4-2." Aria said, with her arms crossed. Adagio and Sonata nod as they watched some of their matches to see if they could come up with anything. Tomorrow's Battles could decide everything."
"So there's no other choice but to win each of our matches." Adagio sighed but then smiled. "But you know what? I don't think we have to worry one bit." Sonata and Aria turn their heads to face Adagio. "We've beaten these guys before, they are not unstoppable. Dean, Leon, and Gabby, we can beat them no questions asked. We just need to dig deep and connect with our Beys, if we do that we're guaranteed to win."
Sonata nods and smiles. "We also know how to defeat the so-called unbeatable Eclipse Armor now. All we need to do is break through that pesky Armor and we'll win! We'll have to not only increase our launch power but also increase our Beys attack power to be assured we can break that Armor in half!" Adagio and Aria smile at Sonata, they knew what was coming. "C'mon, girls! Let's go practice our hearts out!" Raising her fist in the air, Sonata's sisters followed as they too raised their fists into the air.
From inside the house Sunset and Tom watched as the Dazzlings began to practice outside with everything they had. The three girls launched their Beys in the stadium and the three engaged in combat with one another. The two parents couldn't help but smile at their kids. "You think they have a chance at making a comeback? I mean they've been doing their best but is their best enough for them to win?" Sunset frowned, she knew just how much her girls wanted it but was what they wanted even achievable?
Tom looked at his wife and smiled. "Well, things could've been a lot worse. The Dragonslayers could've attained a flawless victory 5-0 and have won before the girls could've even gotten a chance to shine. I'll say they're doing pretty good for the time being, they need to use this time wisely if they want to have a good foundation of a plan in line for tomorrow. Let them be, they're probably stressed enough as it is. Let's make dinner for them, as a job well done for all the hard work they've put into making it this far. And whether they win or lose, they did their best and we couldn't be more proud." Sunset looked at her husband and smiled, he always knew how to make her feel better. The two made their way to the kitchen to begin making dinner for the girls. It wouldn't be long however until dinner was ready and as soon as it was the three girls devoured their food like animals, within minutes they had finished their food and went back to training.
"Let it Rip!" The sound of a Bey being launched could be heard. "Again! Let it Rip!" Aria panted as she watched Apocalypse race around the stadium, its speed was getting faster by the launch and she could feel the process she was making. "I'm getting there, just a bit more! Let it Rip!" Apocalypse raced around the stadium at crazy speeds, Adagio and Sonata meanwhile had fallen asleep after all the hard work and were leaning against each other as they slept. Aria picked up her Bey and placed it onto her launcher, she was about to launch as well but she noticed Sunset coming outside and smiling at her.
Sunset waved and took a sit in a chair nearby, she had a water bottle in her hand which was most likely for Aria. "You don't mind if I come and see how things are going, do you?" Aria shook her head and decided to take a break, she sat down and gratefully took the water bottle and she then began to drink out of it. Adagio and Sonata were still leaning against each other asleep right next to the two of them. "All three of you have done so many amazing things these past months, if you had told me the three of you would be in the Finals of a Beyblade Tournament I wouldn't have believed you, but look at you now. You all have grown up so much, I remember like it was yesterday when I first got you three, you were all so small. But now you are all big and older... look Aria, whatever happens, tomorrow just know me and your dad are proud of all of you for making it this far. You three have done things many wish they could, do your best and have fun that's all I ask." Aria looked at her mom and smiled.
"The best way to have fun is to win, so tomorrow we'll come back with a victory in our hands!" Sunset laughed, Aria smiled seeing her mom laugh and couldn't help but laugh with her. Her people laugh Sonata started to wake up, she rubbed her eye and groggily saw Aria launching her Bey again and Sunset who was walking into the house with Adagio in her hands.
"Aria?" She rubbed her eye once again as she watched Aria continue to go at it. Sonata couldn't help but smile as sleepness took over once again as she fell back asleep.
The next morning the girls made their way to the arena, the wait was over, today was the day where they either walked out winners or losers. The time had come, as it was time for Game Six to begin. Dragonslayers vs Dazzlings, who would win in the end, only time would tell. From this point forward the rest of the matches would be one-on-one and the stress of how vital these last few Battles were intense.
All Bladers were waiting for things to ignite, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata were currently going over a last-second plan. "Okay, this is what I'm thinking, by the way, Gabby looks so nonchalant, she's most likely leaving things to either Leon or Dean for the First Battle, which means if we want an early victory we should go out with a bang." Adagio and Aria nodded, they looked over at Gabby who looked like didn't give a care in the world as to what was happening.
Just then the crowd cheered, the three girls looked to see Leon on stage and waited for his opponent to arrive. "Looks like they selected Leon to represent them first, I'll go up there for us. Time to end their reign. Aria, Sonata, make sure to take Dean and Gabby down for me. Got it?" Aria watched as Adagio made her way to the stage, she frowned but didn't let it affect her. Sonata who saw it frowned but only for a second as she smiled.
"No! Hold on Dagi!" Adagio stopped and turned to face Sonata. "We should send Aria out there!" Both Adagio and Aria look at Sonata confused by her decision. Sonata walks up to Aria and smiles. "We've had our moment to shine, now it's her turn to shine just as bright!" Sonata then grabs Aria's shoulders and starts to push her toward the stage.
"Hey, wait just a second." Aria said as she tried to stop Sonata from pushing her. "I've Battled against Leon twice already, and I lost both times! If you send me out we'll be sure to lose, just have Adagio go out there and get us an easy victory against someone she's already beaten. Are you willing to take that chance with me?" Aria asked as she looked back at Sonata.
"I know you can defeat whoever goes out there. 100%!" Sonata smiles as Aria looks at her in surprise, she turns to face Adagio who nods in response, it looked to be settled, Aria would be the one to blade. Aria looks up to see the score which is still 4-2, she takes a deep breath and starts taking something out of her pocket. 'Might as well use this now, it's our only hope of winning!' She then began adjusting her Bey as she smiled.
"Yeah, just you watch me! This'll be the best Battle ever!" Aria smiles at her two sisters. "I'm not holding anything back this time! I'm putting everything on the line with this Battle!"
Sonata smiles. "Give it you're all out there and have fun! You can do this!" Adagio nods as Aria nods back. "Alright, I'll see you guys soon, this match will be over before they even knew it!"
Walking up the stage Aria and Leon lock eyes, it seems as though her opponent will be Leon, a good first choice. Up in the stands Sunset watches as Aria gets into position to face out against Leon. "So they let Aria out to Battle. Come on Aria, show Leon what you've practiced so hard for!"
Tom looks at his wife and then down at the stage. "Sonata and Adagio believe in you, make them proud Aria. The whole world is watching, give them a show that they'll never forget. Turn this thing around and help you and your sisters will this tournament!"
"So they decided to choose you, someone I've already beaten twice, this'll be easier than I thought! I hate to say it Aria, but I'll end this game with absolute destruction!" Leon shows off his Bey as Aria follows his movements and shows off her Bey, which seemed to have changed. "Huh? Did Apocalypse evolve?" Taking a closer look Leon saw what looked to be... "No way.. you have the Eclipse Armor as well?!"
Aria grins at his reaction. "Scared? There's always time to give up if needed." Leon shook his head and got into position. "Very well, you've chosen your answer... now get ready for what's to come!"
The referee stood in the middle as he began his little speech. "Game Six will be a single Battle! The first to two points wins! First Battle!" The Bladers got into their positions, everyone was quiet as they waited for the referee's call. "Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Both Beys landed in the stadium and began racing around the stadium. Apocalypse quickly made a sharp turn and directed its way toward Luinor. "I will engulf you into the darkness! Omega Blast!" Apocalypse shines as it charges in to strike Luinor.
"Too predictable! Zone Slam!" The two Beys collide as they both then go flying backward. "I knew you would come at us right from the start before this Battle even began!" Aria grits her teeth as she watches Luinor race around to make a counterattack against Apocalypse.
Prime Apocalypse picks up speed and races to the speed crater. It makes its way into the speed crater and starts to pick up speed, without knowing it however Luinor flies into the speed crater as the chase way on. The two Beys engage in combat inside the speed crater. "Eclipse Whip!" Using its newfound power, Apocalypse gets the edge over Luinor sending it flying out of the speed crater and down toward the lower deck. "Now use Prime Reboot!" Apocalypse starts to pick up even more speed as it started to glow with darkness.
"Don't give them the chance to boost their power! LUINOR!" The avatar of Luinor is released as it glowed blue. It raced around the lower deck and waited for Apocalypse to make it move, Aria watched Luinor and smiled. 'It's too late now, whatever you do will be useless against me and my Apocalypse when we're at 100%!'
Aria takes one last deep breath, she was going to put everything she had into this next attack. "Go forth! APOCALYPSE!!" Darkness engulfs Apocalypse as its avatar comes to life. Apocalypse wasn't the only one to go through a major power surge, as Aria too felt it. As if she could fly she came off the flow and began to float, pony ears, a ponytail, and some wings appeared. Aria had transformed, impressing everyone in the arena. Apocalypse then shoots out of the speed crater and into the air where it was heading for Luinor. Both Bladers see this and smile, they both knew only one of them was going to win the head-to-head clash.
"Shatter them into a million pieces! Zone Hammer!" Luinor metal blades glow as it charges in to strike down Apocalypse. Aria sees this and lets out a nervous smile, this was a make-or-break moment. This was her one and only chance and she had to take it!
"I will defeat you no matter what! This is what me and Apocalypse have worked for! All the sweat, blood, and tears, we shed, it was all for this very moment! Now go Apocalypse! Final Eclipse Whip!" Using a combination of Final Blast and Eclipse Whip, Apocalypse shot forward. The two Beys got closer and closer until the inevitable happened, they made contact!
The force was so intense that it pushed Leon and Aria away from the stadium, the wind picked up as everyone had to shield their faces from the immense pressure building up. A massive explosion occurred engulfing the whole arena with smoke, the sound of a Bey bursting could be heard and everyone knew once the smoke cleared a winner would be shown.
It took a while but the smoke finally cleared up, when everyone looked down at the stadium they saw Apocalypse who was still racing around the stadium, and a Luinor who was in pieces. Leon and Aria gasped, Leon in shock that he lost and Aria because she couldn't believe she had just won against Leon! The crowd was quiet but then erupted into cheers for the amazing battle that they had just witnessed.
"Prime Apocalypse with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Aria is the winner! Dazzlings take the battle 4-3!" The crowd burst into a shout of cheers and screams as Aria jumps in joy as she picks up her Bey. Adagio and Sonata watch as she races down from the stage and back to the sidelines where her sisters had just watched one of the most intense Battles ever.
With the biggest smile on her face, Aria looks at her sisters. "Told you I would end the Battle with a victory! Now we just gotta win two more times!"
Sonata and Adagio smile at her just as big and brightly. "Yeah!
Up in the stands Sunset watches as the three sisters talk and laugh with one another. "The momentum has changed, thanks to Aria the girls might just have a shot at winning this thing!" Small tears escaped Sunset's eye, she couldn't be more proud of her girls. Tom looked at his wife and smiles, he wiped the tears away and gave her a side hug.
"Our girls will win, I just know it! Adagio and Sonata will win their matches, they're the Dazzlings after all. If there's anyone who can beat the Dragonslayers it's them." Sunset looked at her husband and smiled, she nodded because she knew he was right, he always was.
Watching on another side of the sidelines was Aaron. He was currently watching the matches and was impressed, a big grin was on his face as he stared at the stadium below. "Just one more victory and Gabby and Genesis will have fulfilled my master plan." His attention turned to the Dazzlings as his grin only got bigger. "You've done well to make it this far, let's see just how long you last in the long run." Aaron began to laugh, he got louder and louder but the cheers of the crowd made his evil laugh seem like nothing. The score may be 4-3 for now but this battle was far from over to being done with. The Dazzlings and the Dragonslayers stared at one another, the Eighth Match was about to begin, but the question on everyone's mind was who was going to go up next?
Preview: With a win against Leon, the momentum has completely shifted over to the Dazzlings. With the score being 4-3, the Dazzlings look to close the gap between them and the Dragonslayers. Adagio steps onto the plate as her opponent is Dean, the two Balance Types engage in a head-to-head clash with only the strongest surviving. Will Adagio be able to tie to the score four all or will Dean make sure the Dragonslayers secure victory?
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! We Are The Dazzlings!
50. We Are The Dazzlings!
"Yeah!" Adagio, Aria, and Sonata all yell as they fistbump. Thanks to Aria's victory the Dazzlings were now at 4-3 and the Dazzlings were closing in on the gap. The three girls were hugging each other while jumping up and down.
"This is it! The moment we've been waiting for!" Adagio exclaimed. "All we need to do now is win our last two matches, and we've got this! Aria thanks to you we're now back in this game."
"Yeah! Thanks, Ari! Now we can turn this thing around and win this!" Sonata yelled, still jumping up and down. "Just two more wins, just two, and that's it." Just then Sonata stopped jumping up and down, as she then got serious. "Okay girls, we gotta have a team meet-up right now!"
Aria who had been smirking at her victory raised an eyebrow at the now very serious Sonata. She turned her head to look at Adagio who smiled at her, Aria followed her as she smiled and turned to Sonata. "Alright leader, what do you have for us?"
"Since we won the last Tag Team Battle, and Aria just won this match it's obvious that we now hold the momentum. If we win this one we'll have tied the score and have a chance at recovering what looked to be a lost battle. Knowing Gabby she'll have realized the position they're in, she wouldn't want us to get any closer than this. Gabby is going out there right here and now to finish things once and for all, she's saving Dean for last just in case she loses. That's why our best bet is to go with you, Dagi!" Sonata pointed at Adagio, Adagio tilted her head and pointed at herself.
"Me? I mean I understand what you're saying, I'm the only person who has ever defeated Gabby, but don't you want revenge after everything she's done to you? I think it would be better if you went out there instead, I can handle Dean no problem." Adagio placed her hand on Sonata's shoulder and looked at her with concerned eyes. "Don't you remember what she's done to you? She beat you up and gave you a blackeye! She's hurt you both mentally and physically multiple times! She's the reason Spryzen was destroyed in the first place and you're just going to let her get away with that!?!" Sonata looked at Adagio and gave a small smile.
"It's not that I don't want to get a bit of revenge on Gabby..." She then looked at Adagio dead in her eyes. "But I can also tell what's best for the team. I've faced Gabby three times already, and once was with Aria's help, and yet I wasn't able to defeat her, I didn't even come close to winning. Compared to her I'm weak, and because of that Spryzen was destroyed. She's our biggest threat, and unlike me, you've defeated her. If there's anyone who has a shot at beating her and for us to win this thing, is you, Adagio."
Adagio looked at Sonata and then turned her head to face Aria who she was hoping would back her up. Aria made eye contact with Adagio and understood what she was trying to do but instead, she shook her head and sighed. "As much as I hate to agree but Nata's right. She hasn't been able to beat Gabby, you're the Champion, if Gabby's scared of anyone it's you, you're our only chance at overcoming her. Genesis is no joke but with Achilles and you, we've got a shot so please Adagio." Both she and Sonata bow as if begging Adagio to Battle.
As a small sweatdrop slipped from her forehead Adagio let out a small laugh and backed away from her two sisters. "Okay, okay, I get it I'll go out there just please stop bowing." Aria and Sonata stand tall and laugh as they look at one another, their plan seemed to have worked. Adagio looks at her sisters and can't help but laugh with them. "Alright, guess I'm heading off. Wish me good luck, I hate to say it but this match could very well decide the match." Aria and Sonata nod as Adagio nods back and starts to make her way to the stadium.
"Hey, Adagio!" Stopping in her tracks, Adagio turned back to see Sonata who had yelled at her. Adagio tilts her head as a way to ask what, and Sonata smiles. "You've changed a lot, normally you would want us to bow to you since your like a queen and Champion and whatnot. I may not say it a lot but I'm glad to be your sister." Adagio smiles at Sonata as she starts to feel the tears burn her eyes. "Now go out there and win!"
"You got it!" Walking up the steps Adagio wipes the tears away. When she gets to the stage, however, surprise surprise, Gabby isn't there instead, Dean is with a big smile on his face. "Oh, you've got to be kidding me, again!" Adagio stomped the ground in a fit of rage. 'This whole Battle, all of Sonata's plans seem to make sense but Gabby always seems to know what we're going to do, she's too smart for her age... and now that means if I win this.' Adagio turned her head to Sonata and Aria who had a look of terror on their faces. 'Sonata will have to face Gabby for the winner takes all showdown.. tch!'
"You thought Gabby was coming up next, didn't you? That'll be too obvious, I'll finish this thing right here, she wouldn't have to fight at all." Adagio looked over at Gabby who was sitting down on the bench while smiling. "Your Union Achilles will fall to my Master Devolos." Dean showed off his Devolos who happened to be in Right Spin Mode, he was going in full power with the attacks.
Adagio sees this and starts to adjust her Bey. 'Enough of this... I'm done with all these mind games they keep throwing at us, making us think one thing then somehow predicting us to do it, and then for us to fall for their trap, well no more. We'll see how they like it when they're the ones falling into the trap.' Adagio finished adjusting her bey and showed it off to Dean and the whole arena. Achilles was in Attack Mode and it was even equipped with the Unison Sword. "Achilles will drive Devolos out of the stadium for good!"
"First Battle!" The referee declared. The two Bladers got into position as everyone in the arena went quiet, they knew just how much this Battle meant for both sides. "Get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
With that the two Beys hit the stadium and took off, Devolos raced on one side as Achilles did to the other. Dean and Adagio watched and waited, waiting for their opponent to make the first move but neither did. Both Beys continued to race around the stadium as they got closer and closer to the center. As if reading each other's minds the two Bladers finally made their moves.
"Master Launch/Unison Launch!" They both cried out. The two Beys then collided with a barrage of attacks, neither giving an inch. Each hit would send them back but they would respond by coming back and hitting twice as hard as before, it was starting to be a back-to-back battle of strength and will. The two Beys then engaged in a head-to-head clash and began going on a ride.
Clashing side by side the two Beys weren't letting up for a second. Both Bladers yelled out as they both were giving it everything they had. Finally, it seemed as though Adagio was having enough as she started to get serious. "GO ACHILLES!" Achilles shined bright from Hyper-Flux and glowed goldenly. Not being the only one to transform, Adagio also transformed as she grew her pony ears, tail, and wings. "Hit 'em with Unison Breaker!" Achilles strikes Devolos sending it flying into the air! Achilles didn't let up as it chased the freefalling Devolos. "Strike them down with Unison Sword!" Achilles strikes Devolos once again sending it flying into the air.
Dean watches as Devolos goes flying into the air and smiles, a plan is starting to form in his mind. "GO DEVOLOS!" Devolos began to fall as it too began to shine a bright golden color. "End them with Master Upper!" Devolos glowed as it charged up its attack as Devolos headed closer to Achilles. Adagio seeing this coming smiled.
"Put your guard up with your mighty defense! Unison Defensive Shield!" Using a combination of Unison Defense and Unison Shield, guards began to glow around Achilles. Devolos slams into the shields and is sent reeling back, the attack had done nothing to Achilles. "Now unleash your counterattack with Unison Pendulum!" Going up and then coming back down like a pendulum, Achilles slams into Devolos sending it flying. Dean growls at this but then watches as Devolos makes its way toward the slope, he then smiled. If he was able to get into the speed crater it very well could be what he needs to win this battle. "Don't think you're safe!"
Out of nowhere, Achilles comes flying in and slices through Devolos, sending it sky-high up toward the roof, for the third time this Battle. Dean gasps as it is now Achilles who is heading up the slope and makes its way into the speed crater where it starts to pick up massive amounts of speed and power. Sweat started to fall from Dean's face, he knew what was coming but he didn't know what to do. Achilles continued to gain speed as it then began to charge up an attack.
"Dean... we may not be winning this match so far, and we might have been behind you and your team this whole game but you know what? If you think for even a second that you guys have won this thing then you are wrong, we never give up, we never back down from a challenge, and we keep fighting until the very end, you wanna know why we try so hard? Why we're giving it our all? Why we're hurting ourselves to win? Why we're pushing ourselves so hard that it hurts!? I'll tell you why!" Just then Achilles shot out of the speed crater and toward the still-falling Devolos. 'Let's go, Achilles!' Adagio thrust her fist forward as if going to punch someone.
"Right behind you Adagio!" The avatar was shown behind Adagio as Achilles thrust its sword forward with its shield right behind.
"BECAUSE WE ARE THE DAZZLINGS AND NEVER GIVE UP!! UNISON WHIP!!!!" Adagio yelled.
"BURST THEM WITH MASTER SMASH!!!!" The two Beys collide in midair and the explosion that was set off was immense. Adagio, Dean, and everyone in the arena had to cover their eyes, it was as if a ton of fireworks went fired off. The sky was filled with a golden-reddish shine, and then a huge dust cloud engulfed the stadium and field of sight for the viewers. People coughed, some gasped, and the murmurs could be heard talking about what they had just witnessed.
Aria and Sonata even though not being able to see anything held hands, hoping that Adagio had done what needed to be done and won over Dean. As the smoke began to clear everyone remained quiet, just then the sight of two small things flying from out of the sky could be seen as they both slammed into the stadium causing a semi-earthquake as the ground shook. Everyone gasped as their mouths were opened so big a cat might be able to fit inside of it.
When things cleared and calmed down, everyone looked down at the stadium and the sight was unbelievable. Both Achilles and Devolos were on the stadium flooring, however, both Beys had burst so pieces were all over the place. Both Adagio and Dean look in surprise and then at the referee. The referee looks at the scene in front of him and then raised his hand. "Consulting replay!" People murmur as they begin to watch the video. The video shows Achilles and Devolos colliding as then the two begin falling toward the stadium. Both Beys crash into the stadium but in a split second Devolos hard hit the stadium and burst and then Achilles soon after. The referee raised his hand and made the call. "Unison Achilles with a Burst Finish, with a final score of 2-0, Adagio is the winner! Dazzlings win making the score 4-4!" The crowd roars in anticipation as the score for once in the game was tied.
Audience members cheered, Sunset, Tom, and all their friends cheered, and Aria and Sonata who were hugging each other jumping up and down in joy. And Adagio who was sweating a bit had a bright smile on her face. 'Thank you... for everything Achilles!' She looked up toward the ceiling and showed off her Bey to everyone. "THIS IS OUR WAY OF BLADING!" The crowd cheered as everyone clapped for Adagio's victory.
Meanwhile still sitting down on the bench was Gabby, she looked at the scene and sighed but then a small smile appeared on her face. "So in the end it comes down to this, me vs Sonata." She looks over at Sonata who is smiling. "That smile will never appear once I'm done with her and her sisters!" Gabby stands up as she is surrounded by aura as the avatar of Genesis appears behind her. "It's showtime... the endgame is here at long last!" A devilish smile appears as Gabby's eyes shine red.
Adagio walked over to Aria and Sonata as the three hugged. "You did it, Adagio! You really did it! It's all tied up thanks to you!" The three sisters hugged once again.
"Yeah, I did. It was tough but I came out on top! But now things get difficult.." Adagio looks over at Gabby who was already on the stage waiting for Sonata. "It's all up to you Sonata, give it everything you got!" Sonata looks at Adagio and then at Aria.
"Go show her who's boss, give her what she deserves after everything she did to you. Show her what you can do when you put your mind to it!" Sonata smiles as she then takes a deep breath.
"Alright.. I'll see you guys later, and when I come back I'll have won this thing for us!" Adagio and Aria smile as Sonata makes her way to the stadium. Once Sonata makes her way to the Sonata, the two Bladers stare at one another, everything was quiet, everything was blank, it was just Sonata and Gabby in a white void. Just then the void began to break as everything was filled with darkness, the once-white void was black with cracks. Sonata looked around until she was face to face with a demonic-like creature, and that creature was Gabby.
The once scary void become a reality again with Sonata holding her heart that felt as though it was going to shoot out of her chest. Sonata looked at Gabby who was just staring at her. 'I can't let her get to me even before the match begins, I have to win this! Everything I've ever done has led me to this moment!' Sonata looked at Gabby with a flare in her eye, her red aura burning bright, with the avatar of Spryzen looming behind her. "Gabby.. me and Spryzen.. will defeat you!"
Gabby smirked. Her white aura burned bright as it engulfed her, the avatar of Genesis looming over her, but unlike Sonata it was scary as Gabby and Genesis towered over Sonata. "I think you are mistaken little Sonata... because you see... we're winning this match !"
The wind picked up as Gabby and Genesis, and Sonata and Spryzen all stared each other down. The final battle of the Tag Team Tournament was about to get underway.
Preview: It's all come down to this, everything the Dazzlings have down has brought them to this moment. With Adagio's victory over Dean, the Dazzlings have now tied the score with the Dragonslayers. With one last Battle to decide it all with the team captains, Gabby and Sonata take to the stage for one final time. After losing to Gabby twice in the past Sonata will have to charge at Gabby with everything she has. The action is filled to the brim as the suspenseful finale is officially underway.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Grand Finale! Sonata vs Gabby!
51. Grand Finale! Sonata vs Gabby!
Gabby and Sonata stared at one another, both of them knowing what this last Battle meant for both teams. Sonata took a deep breath as she stared at Gabby. 'Everything has come down to this, we either go big or go home.' Sonata looked down at Spryzen and then at her sisters, and finally at her mom and dad and all of their friends and family. 'Together you and I can do anything Spryzen!'
Sonata smiled as she looked up from Spryzen and faced Gabby. "Gabby!" Gabby looked at Sonata with an unimpressed blank stare. "Let's make this the best Battle ever!"
Gabby couldn't help but smile at Sonata's happiness. "Oh, this Battle will be the best one ever all right. Wanna know why?" Just then Gabby began to undergo her demonic-like state. Just like previously demonic-like wings appeared, Gabby grew ears and a tail, her teeth turned sharp like a tiger's, and finally, her eyes went to blood-like red. "Because the winner of this Battle will be me!" Gabby's voice boomed throughout the room scaring the people inside. "Once I'm done with you, you will be nothing more than ash."
"We'll see about that won't we!" Sonata began to adjust Spryzen, if she wanted a shot at winning she would have to do everything in her power to win. Without Gabby knowing Sonata had put Spryzen in Right spin Stamina Mode. "Gabby... when we were younger you use to bully me well here's a newsflash for you... I'm not the same scared little girl I use to be! I'll show everyone right here and now who I really am!" The crowd cheered at Sonata's fiery spirit, Adagio, and Aria smiling at their sister and at how brave she was.
Gabby just stared at Sonata without a care in the world as she then showed off her Bey, however, something seemed to be off with it. Sonata gasped along with Adagio and Aria. "Adagio, are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Aria asked as she turned from Gabby and then over at Adagio.
Adagio looked at the Bey in surprise not being able to comprehend what she was seeing. "If we're seeing the same thing then yes, I see it too." The Bey in question was still Eclipse Genesis, however, something seemed to be missing, the Armor.
Aria gritted her teeth. "I don't understand, where's the Armor? Why isn't she using the Armor in such an important Battle?" Aria knew that the Armor helped make Genesis even harder to burst, and with this being the Battle to decide it all, why would Gabby not use it?
"She must be trying to get inside Sonata's head. By not using the Armor that makes Genesis more likely to burst, Sonata needs to use this chance to pull ahead. She needs every chance she can get if she wants to win this Battle." Adagio looked at Gabby with an intense stare. 'What are you planning, Gabby?'
The referee stood in front of the two girls. The Final Battle of the Tag Team tournament was about to get underway. The crowd stayed quiet as they waited for the referee's call. "Alright, the First Battle of the Ninth Round is about to begin! This will be a first to two points! First Bat-"
"Now hold on just a moment ref!" Everyone stopped as Gabby stopped the referee's call. "As this is the last Battle of the tournament I announce that this is a first to three points instead of two!" The crowd murmured at what Gabby had declared. As the referee spoke to the officials, Sonata and the rest of the Dazzlings looked at her curiously. Gabby saw their confused looks and laughed.
"If you want to win this Battle I'll make you work for it. I'll go easy on you at first but be warned if you ever dare think for a second you have a chance at winning, you're gravely mistaken! This Battle will end one way or another, and that's with your precious Lord Spryzen suffering a break that no one has ever seen before. I've longed to see that look of despair on your face, which shows that you're hopeless and pathetic! Spryzen will be the first of many to suffer, then you and your sisters, and then the entire world will feel that pain!" Gabby let out an evil laugh which caused Sonata to take a step backward in fear. Gabby was serious and she was going to do everything in her power to win. Sonata then started to have second thoughts but she shook her head, she wasn't going to let Gabby get to her before the Battle even began.
As the referee stood back he made his call. "It has been accepted! The final Battle of the Tag Team tournament will be a first to three points!" The crowd cheered, they would get to see even more Blading action. Just then both Bladers once again took their places, with both Gabby and Sonata staring each other down. 'I've got to do this for everyone, everyone is counting on me to win this, I can't let them down!'
Gabby smiled as she saw Sonata's face. 'In the end, you stand no chance against me and my Genesis!'
"First Battle! Ready and set!" The referee yelled raising his arm into the air.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone in the stadium yelled.
With that, the two Beys had taken to the stadium with intense speed. Eclipse Genesis took the center as Lord Spryzen raced around the edge waiting for the right time to strike at it. Gabby looked at Spryzen with a small smile as Sonata had a bead of sweat dripping down her forehead. She knew that since Genesis didn't have the Armor it was more likely to burst, she had to pull ahead of this Battle if she wanted a chance at winning.
"We've got to end this fast! Go Spryzen!" Spryzen raced up the slope and into the speed crater where it started to pick up speed. "GO SPRYZEN!" Spryzen's avatar was unleashed as its fierce fiery aura was bursting out like wildfire. "Show everyone that we're the best!" Spryzen was engulfed with Hyper-Flux as it flew out of the speed crater, and toward Genesis. Gabby watched as Spryzen came closer to Genesis, a smirk on her face. Sonata saw this and gritted her teeth, she knew Gabby wasn't just going to let the attack hit and probably had something up her sleeve. "Go! Lord Whip!" Spryzen flew toward Genesis and it looked like the move was going to make a connection with its opponent too but at the last second...
Just then Gabby looked up with a big smile. "Hybrid Force!" With a last-second getaway, Genesis raced away from Spryzen dodging the attack, and up the upper deck where it started to pick up speed. "I'll show you what a true attack looks like! GENESIS!" Just like Spryzen, Genesis forewent its power-up stage as its aura burned brightly as it went into its Superior-Flux state. "Now rain down on them with your ultimate power! Eclipse Whip!" Genesis raced down from the upper deck as it slammed into Spryzen throwing it up into the air. Spryzen, however, was able to stay in bounds by hitting the edge of the stadium, however, a tremendous amount of stamina had been lost as it was starting to wobble. Gabby seeing this smiled. "Oh please? I'm not even trying that hard and you're still losing to me? Pathetic, Genesis put these two out of my sights... FOR GOOD!!!" The avatar of Genesis then charged at the avatar of Spryzen looking to put it out for good.
Genesis raced toward the wobbling Spryzen with one plan in mind, destruction! Sonata saw this and gasped... at least that's what she made it seem like. Sonata then looked up with a big smile on her own face, Gabby had fallen for her trap! "Perfect! Now Spryzen use Counter Break!" Spryzen tilted on its driver giving it an extra boost of speed, Gabby saw this and gasped as it was too late to charge in with a counterattack. Spryzen rammed into Genesis's sword and pushed it in causing Genesis to be sent into the air and burst. Gabby gasped as the pieces to Genesis fell onto the stadium as Spryzen did a victory lap around the stadium.
The crowd went silent as Leon, Dean, Gabby, Sonata, Aria, and Adagio all stared at the stadium in shock. For the first time, Eclipse Genesis had suffered a Burst Finish. Sonata stared and then broke into a smile. "ALL RIGHT WE DID IT! WE JUST BURST GENESIS!!" The crowd cheered as Aria and Adagio smiled for their sister as they jumped up and down in joy. Their sister had done it, she really burst Genesis all by herself!
"Lord Spryzen with a Burst Finish! The score is 2-0!" The referee declared making the crowd shout and burst into cheers.
Aria looked over at the stadium and smiled. "Just one more point, that's all we gotta hope for. Then all of this will be over, she can do it, I know she can."
Adagio looked at the scene and stared. She didn't seem very impressed with how the First Battle had ended even if Sonata won and got two points. "Things are going to get even harder now." Aria then turned to Adagio wondering what she meant. "Gabby knows the position she is in and she isn't going to let Sonata win this Battle without a fight. This Second Battle isn't going to play nowhere near as good as the First Battle did."
"Second Battle!" As the referee made the call Sonata got into position feeling great about where she stood. She looked up to see her face with two points below it as Gabby's still had zero. Gabby meanwhile had just equipped Eclipse Genesis with the Eclipse Armor once again. Sonata seeing this sighed, sadly not all things could go as she had hoped. She gripped her launcher harder as she stared at Gabby. 'I refuse to lose to you or be scared of you! Genesis will fall to my Spryzen, I can promise you that!' Gabby meanwhile smiled, she was heading into this Battle with a bit more heat than the last Battle, she didn't care that she was behind, she was still going to win no matter what.
"Get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Just like the First Battle Genesis went for the center but Spryzen wasn't going to let that happen so easily. "Not on my watch! Counter Break!" Spryzen slammed into Genesis causing it to be sent reeling over to the stadium wall where it collided, causing the Eclipse armor to go flying up into the skies. Sonata, along with her sisters gasped at the sight of the Armor going high into the air.
"She must have left the Armor in a loose position! She was aiming for Sonata to do that!" Aria said as she quickly realized what Gabby was up to.
Adagio gritted her teeth. "With the Armor now like that, Gabby can use it as some sort of projectile weapon to use!"
The Armor flew down and landed on the stadium near Genesis, Gabby seeing this smiled. Now her plan was coming together and Sonata wouldn't know what even hit her. "Now go, Genesis!" Genesis slammed into the Armor which flew over and struck Spryzen. The Armor then bounced off of Spryzen and onto the stadium but once again Genesis rushed over and hit the Armor which once again flew over and hit Spryzen. Over and over again Genesis slammed into the Armor which hit would fly over and hit Spryzen over and over. Before knowing it Spryzen was in a never-ending cycle of being hit by the Armor with no way to escape from its grasp.
Sonata gritted her teeth there was nothing she could do for Spryzen to escape from Genesis's grasp. Was this really what Gabby was made of when she Battled at full power? Were all the other times she Battled just minor fractions of what she was seriously capable of? Sonata snapped her head, she wasn't going to let Gabby and Genesis get the better of her. She was better than that, she had to make Spryzen the best, she had to win! "Let's go Spryzen!" Spryzen's avatar was unleashed as it engaged with its Hyper-Flux state. "Send that Armor flying with Lord Whip!" Spryzen hit the Armor that was coming at it and send it the other way toward Genesis. Gabby's eyes widened, she was impressed that Sonata was able to do that, but it still wouldn't be enough to defeat her and Genesis.
The Armor struck Genesis pushing it all the way across the stadium. Gabby then smiled. "Hybrid Force! Let's go!" Picking up speed Genesis raced up the slope and to the speed crater with Lord Spryzen right behind racing after it. The two Beys made their way into the stadium and then the two engaged in combat inside the crater.
"SPRYZEN/GENESIS!" The two Beys fought left and right to get an edge over the other. "GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" With one last push, Genesis was sent out of the speed crater and below to the lower deck racing around the stadium at immense speeds. Spryzen however stayed in the speed crater for a bit longer until it took charge after Genesis. As Spryzen made its way to Genesis, Genesis once again slammed into the Armor went sent it flying into the stadium while shooting it toward Spryzen.
"Charge head in! Lord Whip!" Spryzen shot out of the speed crater and came flying in like a raging bull as it headed toward Genesis. Sonata saw this and smiled, she was putting everything into this attack to finish this once and for all. "Now end them!"
"Shatter into oblivion! Eclipse Crush!" Both Genesis and the Armor headed toward Spryzen as Genesis, the Armor, and Spryzen made contact. The collision was so intense a smoke cloud filled the arena and Sonata had to cover her face as Gabby just stared at the mass destruction in front of her with a big smile. Lord Spryzen wasn't able to take it as it was sent flying into the air and burst in front of Sonata's face, Sonata, and her sisters gasped at Spryzen being burst into pieces.
"Eclipse Genesis with a Burst Finish! Gabby gets two points making the score tied at 2-2!" The referee declared as the crowd cheered as Sonata retrieved her Bey. She quickly put Spryzen back together as she looked back at Gabby who was smiling. She gritted her teeth at Gabby, she was upset that she had lost and now the match was tied.
Gabby looked down at Sonata and laughed. "If you can't handle me and Genesis at just 50% of our power there's no way you can handle us at full power! Which means... by using 100% power of our power we will be able to shatter Spryzen in a billion pieces!" Sonata's eyes went down as she glared at Gabby.
Sonata looked down at Spryzen and then looked up at Gabby with a growl. "I made a promise to Spryzen that it would never feel that pain ever again! I made a promise to my sisters that I would win this Match and fight until the very end! I made a promise to everyone that I would stop you after everything you've done! You've hurt so many people, now it's your turn to know what it feels like to feel the exact pain you made all those people feel!" Sonata changed Spryzen from Right spin Stamina Mode to Left spin Attack Mode, she was going to face Gabby with fire by charging at her with 100% of her power as well.
Up in the stands Tom watched the Battle as Sunset then hugged him. "Each Battle one or the other has dominated the other. Sonata took control in the First Battle with an early burst but now Gabby has evened out the score by getting a burst in the Second Round, where Sonata couldn't do anything but watch as Spryzen burst to Genesis. This Battle will decide it all, the only question is, will Sonata have what it takes to face Gabby head-to-head?"
Sunset continued to hug Tom tighter. "We can only hope for the best."
"C'mon, girls!" Rainbow said standing up. "Let's cheer our hearts out for Sonata!" Rainbow said as she looked back at the girls. "Sonata! Sonata! Sonata!"
Just then the rest of the girls proceeded to follow her lead and stand up and cheer. "Sonata! Sonata! Sonata!"
Tom and Sunset looked at the girls and smiled as they too then stood up to cheer. "Sonata! Sonata! Sonata!"
The crowd noticed this and decided to follow the rest of their crowd and cheer. "SONATA! SONATA! SONATA!" And just like that the whole arena began to chant Sonata's name, people around the world watched the Battle between Gabby and Sonata, and Bladers from around the globe cheered Sonata on.
Adagio and Aria looked around the arena, they then looked at each other and smiled. The crowd was cheering for them, for their sister, and they couldn't be more happier. They then turned to their sister and joined along in the chant. "Sonata! Sonata! Sonata!"
Sonata looked around the room, everyone cheering for her as she took to Battle with Gabby. She couldn't help but shed some tears at all of the support she was receiving. It was something she had never seen before and she couldn't be more happier with all of the cheers she was getting. She looked down at Spryzen as a bright light engulfed the two of them. When Sonata opened her eyes she noticed she was face to face with Spryzen.
"Spryzen!" Sonata smiled as she looked at Spryzen.
Spryzen looked down at Sonata with a smile on its face. "Sonata, how are you feeling?"
Sonata smiled as she got closer to Spryzen. "I'm feeling amazing! We're Battling with such a strong opponent it's making my heart jump with joy! I wish this Battle could go on forever!"
Spryzen opened its mouth. "As am I. Now then, what do you say we turn up the heat and end this Battle with the best burst the world has ever seen!"
Sonata smiled. "I like the sound of that, with the two of us Battling as one we can do anything!" Sonata and Spryzen then started to float toward each other, Spryzen then put out its axe toward Sonata as Sonata put out her hand.
"My axe is in your hands, this Battle we will Battle as one." As Spryzen and Sonata stared at each other in the eyes.
"All of us will be!" Sonata turned her head to see both Adagio and Aria running up to them with Achilles and Apocalypse right behind them. Once Achilles and Apocalypse got there, Achilles made its sword and shield touch Spryzen's axe, as Apocalypse did the same with its tail. Below them, Adagio and Aria were fist-bumped as they were looking at Sonata.
"All together now Sonata!" Adagio yelled.
"When all of us work together..." Aria yelled.
"EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!" The two yelled as they smiled at Sonata.
Sonata smiled as she looked at her sisters. "YEAH!" She then ran up to them and fist-bumped her sister's back as she then touched Spryzen's axe. When Sonata opened her eyes again she was back in the stadium where everyone was still cheering. Just then a strong feeling surged in Sonata's body, she felt her body rising from the ground. A bright light engulfed her as everyone looked away to not lose their eyesight. When the light died down Sonata had ponied up as now she had pony ears and a pony-like tail, she also had wings. "Wow! I feel so powerful!" Sonata's friends and family looked at her in awe, with Adagio and Aria smiling brightly. Their sister had done it, she finally ponied up just like her other sisters. 'Good job Sonata'
"Third Battle!" The referee yelled.
Sonata and Gabby got into position everything went quiet as a white void filled the arena, only Gabby and Sonata remained. The two stared at each other, when this Battle was over only one of them would be walking out the winner.
Sonata and Gabby stared at one another with both of them thinking the same thing. 'You're going down!'
"Get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three!" The audience watched in silence as the last Battle was about to unfold.
"Two!" Adagio and Aria held hands hoping that Sonata could pull through and win the Battle. They had shared their power with Sonata so they were hoping that would be enough to take down Gabby.
"One!" Sonata and Gabby glared at one another, the final Battle was about to begin. As Sonata launched with all her might her eyes shined green for a split second, something that Gabby took notice of. 'What was that!?'
"Let it Rip!" Sonata and Gabby pulled the strings to their launchers as hard as they could.
For the last time, Spryzen and Genesis took to the stadium with tremendous launches. Just like the previous two matches, Genesis took to the center as Spryzen quickly raced around the stadium.
"Show them that we're the real deal! Upper Launch!" Spryzen quickly changed course and started hitting Genesis with a barrage of attacks.
Gabby just smirked as Spryzen attacked Genesis over and over again. "Attacks like those won't work!" Gabby then let out an intense battle cry. "GOOO GENESIS!!!" Genesis's avatar was unleashed as it let out a roar, Genesis shined with its aura letting the arena know it was meaning business. "Superior-Flux!" Genesis then shined the brightest it had ever shined before. "Stop their attacks with Eclipse Pulse!" Just then a barrier-like shape surrounded Genesis, Spryzen tried attacking Genesis over and over again but none of its attacks were hitting their target.
"Break through that barrier!" Spryzen climbed up the upper deck and into the speed crater, once it picked up enough speed it jumped out of the crater and raced toward Genesis. "Now take them down!" Spryzen collided with Genesis pushing it out of the center as it now raced around the stadium.
"Not bad, but try harder! Eclipse Whip!" Genesis sped up as the Armor began to shine, the two Beys were about to collide head to head but Sonata had other plans in mind.
"Don't you dare think me and Spryzen are going to back down to you! We won't lose to anyone ever again! Lord Whip!" Spryzen shined as its trajectory changed as it clashed with great force against Genesis. The two were at a standstill until Genesis was able to get the edge over Spryzen as Spryzen was sent flying.
Spryzen was starting to wobble as Genesis was taking another lap around the stadium. "People of Canterlot watch in awe as Lord Spryzen becomes nothing more than dust particles!" Gabby then pointed a finger directly at Sonata and Spryzen. "NOW FINISH THEM ONCE AND FOR ALL!" Genesis was making its way toward the wobbling Spryzen, Sonata watched in horror. 'No... I refuse to lose to you!'
Sonata took a step forward, at that moment Spryzen started to tilt a bit on its side. "SPRYZEN!" Spryzen's aura shined as its avatar came out for one last time to face off with Genesis. "Counter Break!" Spryzen quickly tilted on its driver making it dodge Genesis's attack. Climbing up the deck, Spryzen quickly went into the speed crater and started to pick up speed. Looking down she saw Gabby and Genesis making their way after them. 'We can't let them get to us!' Just then a white light engulfed Sonata once again, and when she opened her eyes a bunch of scenes played right before her eyes.
Taking a better look at them they were moments of her life with her sisters, mother, and father, all of her friends and family. From birthdays to holidays to doing homework, going to school, the mall, sleepovers, everything she had ever done in her life until that moment. Walking past the hallway of memories she saw Adagio and Aria standing at the exit. They turned around to face their sister with smiles on their faces. They put out their hands for Sonata to take as the two then began to walk ahead. Sonata smiled as she raced after her sisters to be reunited with sisters once again. As she entered the exit the white light flashed before her eyes once again, when she opened her eyes she was once again back in front of the stadium. Gabby and Genesis were about to pounce on her... but she was in no way going to let that happen.
"It's you and me together Spryzen! LET'S DO THIS THING!" Just then a shining light filled the speed crater, the light was so intense it through Genesis away and across the stadium as it hit the stadium wall and began to wobble.
Gabby noticed this and gasped, she gritted her teeth as she looked at the light. "What is that?" The light then began to change colors at a rapid pace. From red, to orange, yellow and green, and even blue and purple, it was all the colors of the rainbow. "Is that?"
"RAINBOW-FLUX!!!" Gabby gasped and looked at Sonata and Spryzen, what was once Spryzen who was in its Hyper-Flux state was now in a new and improved powered-up state. Adagio and Aria looked in shock they couldn't believe what they were seeing, their sister had just tapped into a new power never seen before. Spryzen shined bright with all the colors of the rainbow as its speed got even faster it then shoot out of the speed crater and toward Genesis. "TAKE THEM DOWN!"
"I REFUSE TO LOSE TO SOMEONE LIKE YOU!! HYBRID FORCE!!!!" Like a rocket, Genesis shoot away as it picked up speed. Genesis was then engulfed in a more sinister aura as Genesis who normally shined bright with a white aura was now shining with a more darkish purple-black-like color.
"GO SONATA FINISH THIS!" Adagio yelled.
"GO NATA YOU GOT THIS!" Aria yelled.
"LET'S GO SPYRZEN!" Sonata yelled.
"RIGHT BEHIND YOU SONATA!" Spryzen yelled.
"GENESIS! FINISH THIS!!" Gabby yelled.
Sonata then raised Spryzen's axe as she then slammed it down at Gabby and Genesis. "LORD SPRYZEN: S!!!"
Gabby's hand turned white as she then shot it toward Sonata and Spryzen. "SUPERIOR ECLIPSE!!!"
The two Beys raced around and around the stadium until they reached the center and collided. The arena was filled with a bright light, windows shattered, the winds started to pick up, and the sounds of Beys colliding could be heard as both Sonata and Gabby were yelling to their heart's content. Everyone watched as the two Beys fought with everything they had, neither of them giving an inch.
As Adagio watched the Battle she started to feel as though the arena was beginning to shake, when she looked up she saw that part of the arena was starting to fall apart from the Battle. She gasped as she grabbed Aria's attention. "Aria! The arena is starting to come apart from the Battle! If Sonata and Gabby don't stop this whole place will come down!"
Aria looked up as her eyes widened. "We gotta get everyone out of here before it's too late!" Just as Aria finished however part of the roof came down and crashed on the ground, thankfully not hitting anyone but definitely getting everyone's attention. Everyone started to scream and yell as everyone quickly ran out of the arena and to safety. Adagio and Aria tried to make their way to Sonata to get her to safety but Aaron grabbed them before they could.
Aria glared as she looked back at Aaron. "What are you doing?! Let us go! We need to get Sonata and then get out of here!"
"We can't do that, if you try to reach her you might die trying!" Aaron yelled as he stopped the girls from reaching Sonata.
"Are you saying we leave Sonata to die!?" Aaron didn't say anything as he picked up the two girls and raced out of the stadium that was coming down. "NO!!! LET US GO!"
"NOOOO!!! SONATA!!" The girls yelled as Aaron rushed them out of the stadium. As much as they tried fighting out of Aaron's grasp, he was much stronger than them and he wasn't planning on letting them go any time soon.
The Battle was still raging on as neither Sonata nor Gabby seemed to have noticed what was going on. With everyone leaving the arena it was just the two of them fighting for the chance of victory. A few miles away on top of a hill everyone watched as the bits and pieces of the arena began to fall. Meanwhile, Aaron had just arrived with Adagio and Aria who had been trying to fight him off to let them go but he didn't.
Tom noticing that Sonata wasn't with them glared at Aaron. "Why didn't you grab Sonata on your way out!? Why did you leave her by herself when the whole arena was collapsing!"
Aaron looked at Tom and then at Sunset. "You're her parents, I see that you didn't try any better. You should at least be thanking me for saving two of your daughters, better to lose one than all three am I right?"
"Not losing any of my daughters would be better!!!" Tom yelled in Aaron's face.
Inside of the stadium Sonata and Gabby continued fighting it out with Spryzen and Genesis continuing their head-to-head collision with neither Bey giving an inch. Sparks flew as rubble fell around the two girls, but they didn't care. All they cared about was defeating the other and winning the Battle. To them, nothing else mattered but winning, everything going on around them was silenced out with how focused they were on the Battle before them. There were then pulled into a white void with just them, their Beys, and the stadium in it.
Gabby and Sonata, Spryzen and Genesis, were fighting with everything they had. Sonata looked up from the Battle to look at Gabby and she seemed to be having a battle within as she was gripping her head and looked to be in pain. Sonata looked at her and frowned. 'Gabby, you've always been alone for so long... I'm going to help you no matter what!'
Meanwhile, in Gabby's head, she was having an inner war with Genesis who was trying to fully take over her. She was doing the best that she could but slowly and surely she was starting to lose the battle as Genesis was starting to overcome her. She wanted to win, but not like this, if things continued the way they were, Genesis would most likely defeat Spryzen and Sonata and cause massive problems. 'I don't want that to happen, but... I can't beat Genesis.' Gabby then started to feel herself go under Genesis's hold as she started to go unconscious.
"Gabby!" Gabby's eyes shot open to see Sonata looking at her with a big smile on her face. Her smile then changed into a frown as she noticed that Gabby was looking at her with a pained face that showed she had given up. "Take my hand!" Sonata then put out her hand for Gabby to hopefully take. "Please! Take my hand! Me and my sisters can show you the light! I know you've been alone for what has felt like your whole life, but that can change! I'll be your friend! Adagio will be your friend! Aria will be your friend! So please!" Sonata was now yelling with tears pouring down her cheeks. "Take my hand, Gabby!"
Gabby looked at Sonata, she had enough control to move her hand but she was hesitating to reach out and take Sonata's hand. Her whole life, she had been alone, with no father and a mother that wasn't a mother at all to her, and not having any friends at all. But now for the first time in her life, she had someone who was reaching out to her and was wanting to be her friend. Tears escaped Gabby's eyes as she smiled and happily reached out and took Sonata's hand. The two girls looked at one another and smiled, both Gabby and Sonata happy with Gabby's decision, and for the first time, Gabby made a friend.
By connecting their hands, Sonata was able to not defeat Genesis's hold over Gabby but now Gabby and Sonata's power was combined into one. The two then smiled brightly as they looked at Genesis starting to succumb to Spryzen. "Now finish them Spryzen!" With their power combined, Spryzen was able to dig deep and push forward as it then sent Genesis flying.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Genesis yelled as it then burst into pieces, ending the dramatic Battle. Sonata and Gabby smiled, happy that the Battle was finally over with Sonata winning! The two jumped in the air in joy and when they landed they looked at one another and smiled as they hugged. Just then the sound of part of the roof crashing to the ground alerted their attention as they finally noticed that the stadium was coming down. But Sonata and Gabby weren't afraid as the two looked at each and continued to hold hands, because, with the magic of friendship, everything was going to be okay.
Outside of the stadium and on top of the hill, Tom was moments away from beating Aaron to a pulp. Tom held air by his shirt holding him up in the air for everyone to see. Sunset was going to stop him but after finding out that Aaron gave no effort in trying to save Sonata, she was alright with what Tom was about to do to him. Tom raised his fist and cranked it about ready to strike Aaron but then...
"NO!! SONATA!!" Stopping his attack, Tom and everyone turned to see why Adagio and Aria yelled. Everyone turned around and looked to see as an explosion went off engulfing the once arena into nothing more than flames. Sunset fell to her knees by her daughters as the three hugged each other for dear life, Tom quickly ran over to his family and hugged the three crying girls. Other members like Celestia and Luna, and some of the Dazzling's friends cried. Gilda watched the scene as she fell to the ground.
Gilda flew to her knees seeing the stadium collapse. "Gabby..."
Just then the flames in the arena went out as if they were never there in the first place. And as everyone looked they saw a bright rainbow light shine near the stadium. Everyone wondering what the light was quickly raced over to see what the light was. In a matter of seconds, everyone had arrived at the ruined stadium, Adagio and Aria looked around the area, and from the corner of her eye, Adagio saw some movement.
"Over here!" Adagio, Aria, and everyone else raced over to the scene. Picking up pieces and parts to the arena they saw Sonata and Gabby laying on the ground completely alive! Aria smiled as she saw that her sister was alive, she turned her head to the left however to see Spryzen still in one piece as Eclipse Genesis had been burst.
Aria gasped. "Look! Sonata won!" Everyone looked and just like Aria had said they saw Spryzen still in one piece and Genesis who had burst.
"Oww my head, what happened?" Everyone turned to see Sonata and Gabby getting up both holding their heads in pain.
"SONATA!" Adagio and Aria quickly tackled Sonata hugging her as if she'll leave them if they didn't let go. Sunset followed, along with Tom and everyone else. "Geez, I didn't know I was this popular." Sonata along with everyone else laughed, when Sonata turned her head she saw Gabby sadly looking down at her Bey. She picked it up and then started to walk away. "Gabby! Wait up!"
Gabby stopped in her tracks and turned around to face Sonata. "What is it? You won the Battle, now what is there left to do?"
Sonata tilted her head. "I wanted to say that it was the best Battle I ever had. Battles with you are the best!" Sonata smiled which made Gabby's eyes widen.
She looked down at the ground in shame. "I've been so focused on helping Aaron and lost in my anger that I never realized how fun Beyblade truly was. I've missed out on a lot of things because of that." Everyone looked at Gabby and smiled, they were glad that she was doing better and realized her wrong ways.
Tom, however, seemed to catch something none of the others didn't. "Aaron?"
Aaron who had tried to make a sneaky getaway had stopped when all of a sudden Anon and Sonata from the alternative world came out of a portal and put handcuffs on him before it was too late. "Sorry everyone but he's coming back with us! It's about time he pays up for all the crimes he has committed." From afar Sunset smiled, she was glad that she was able to contact Anon and the other Sonata, she knew something was going to happen and she was glad she followed her gut feeling and called them up.
Adagio looked at Anon and the other Sonata in surprise. "Wow, it's Anon and the other Sonata!"
The other Sonata smiled at Adagio's words and then made her way to the little Sonata. "Looks like I was right in the end, you really were the person who would save the day and become the hero!" The bigger Sonata smiled as the little one smiled back at her.
The smaller Sonata looked at the other Sonata and smiled. "Yeah! I did, didn't I? But I couldn't have done any of this without my friends and family supporting me every step of the way, it's a group effort that things turned out as great as they did."
The bigger Sonata smiled. "Keep those friends close to you, they will always be there when needed. They love you just as much as you love them." She turned her head back at Anon who was waiting for her. "Sadly this is where we must say goodbye, but I have a feeling we might meet once again. Until the time comes, continue getting bigger, stronger, and smarter!" The smaller Sonata smiled her head with a big smile as she waved goodbye.
Everyone began to wave as they were saying goodbye to the alternative Anon and Sonata. "This isn't goodbye this is just until we meet again." The bigger Sonata smiled as she waved back to everyone else she then entered the portal with Anon back to their universe with Anon in their hands.
"Well, it looks like he's getting what he deserves with those two next to him. And with Sonata winning it means that the Dazzlings will the Tag Team tournament meaning you three are the greatest team in the world!" Everyone cheered as they hugged the Dazzlings for their successful outcome.
Gabby watched from a few feet away and smiled for the Dazzlings even if she lost. She felt no anger towards them, she knew she did the best that she could against them. "Gabby?" Gabby turned around to see her mother looking sadly at her. "I've been a terrible mother to you and I'm sorry, I'll do better from here on out. Just please, forgive me and let us be a family once again. I'll like nothing more than for you to come back to me and we can be together like when you were little, what do you say? Willing to give your mother a second chance?"
Looking at her mom and then at the Dazzlings, Gabby smiled. 'They did so much with their second chance, what's so wrong with giving my mom a second chance.' Gabby looked at her mom and smiled, a few tears escaping her eyes. "Sure... let's become the mother and daughter we were supposed to be." Gilda couldn't help but cry as she hugged her daughter, Gabby at first flinched at the surprising hug but she got used to it and hugged her mom back crying with her.
Sonata, Adagio, and Aria laughed as everyone began talking to them due to their win. It was a long journey but they had finally done it, they stood firm at the top of the Blading world not as individuals but as one! The three looked around, it was thanks to everyone who was there, that they were where they were at today. It was still crazy to imagine they could still be walking around the streets asking random strangers for food, and that they were once bad people.
But that was all in the past now, this was their second chance and they were going to live it to the fullest! Life can be hard at times but with great friends and family anything and everything was possible.
"Hey, guys!" Everyone turned to face Sonata. "Let's go home and have a big party for our victory! Everyone is invited, it's going to be a Canterlot party of the ages!"
"Party! What are we waiting for let's go!" With that Pinkie Pie was racing ahead of everyone to get home.
"Not on my watch Pinkie!" With that Rainbow Dash raced after her with Applejack and Fluttershy not far behind. The rest of the girls smiled as they too raced after and soon the whole city was in one big race to Sunset and Tom's house. Somehow the Dazzlings were in front leading the pack.
"To think so much has happened in such a small time, I still can't believe we're Champions!" Aria said as she ran with her sisters.
"Yeah I feel your excitement too Ari, but it's thanks to everyone who has been there to help us every step of the way." Adagio said with a big smile.
"I second that Dagi, if it wasn't for our mom then who knows where we would be? It's kinda scary to think about, but here we are leaving the best of life thanks to her!" Sonata said as she continued to run.
Adagio nodded her head as she turned to Sonata. "Yes Sonata and just like in our previous life we're all still together forever and ever! I love you two so much, I hope when we get older we still have our sisterly bond as we do now."
"Yeah!" Aria and Sonata yelled.
"No matter what gets in our way we'll be able to overcome it together, and do you two want to know why we'll be able to overcome it?" Sonata and Aria looked at one another and smiled.
"Because we are the Dazzlings and we will be adored!" Sonata, Adagio, and Aria yelled at once, as sisters.
Preview: Now the Dazzlings story has come to a climactic ending, Sunset looks back at everything that has happened over the years of being the Dazzling's mother. It may have been a long and stressful journey, but in the end, it was worth all the pain. It's a Dazzling goodbye as the Dazzlings story has reached its final chapter.

Author's Note
Happy New Years everyone! May 2023 bless you with great luck!
52. Epilogue: A Dazzling New Life!
Sunset was sitting down in her living room on the couch looking over a memory book she had made to remember all the good times with the girls. It had been a few years since the ultimate Battle between the Dragonslayers vs the Dazzlings, and in those few years, many things had changed.
For one, all three of them had finished going to school. They had all graduated from High School and College, Sunset smiled as she remembered the late nights the girls would stay up to finish homework or to study and how happy they would be when they aced a test. All three of them had thriving careers and Sunset couldn't be more happier for all of them, as they were all living their best lives.
Aria had gone into being a police officer for Canterlot and boy did she make a name for herself in only being on the job for a week after stopping a major bank heist. Sunset had watched the events unfold on TV, and to see Aria charge head first without looking nervous one bit showed her that she was ready to handle any crime that came her way.
Adagio had gone into fashion design and was currently working for Rarity, ever since picking up Adagio and giving her a job, Rarity's business went booming. The designs Adagio could come up with were outstandingly beautiful, Sunset had once asked for a new dress as she would be going on a date with Tom. The dress that they had made for her was so beautiful Tom couldn't keep his eyes off her for the whole night.
As for Sonata she had started a small food truck which soon turned into a big multi-restaurant chain that spread throughout all of Canterlot, Sunset had tried Sonata's food and even she had to admit, it was some of the best food she ever had. The three girls had made a name for themself and anyone who was anyone knew them.
Another thing that occurred was that the three of them got married! Sunset had been to each of their weddings and for each one she had cried her heart out for them. Adagio had gotten with Venus, Aria had gotten with Bael, and Sonata had gotten with Arctic, in the end, everyone was happy which made Sunset happy seeing that her girls would be in good hands. It was hard seeing that her girls were growing up and finally had someone, but she knew deep down that they would always be her little girls.
Something else that was important to note was that Celestia had retired from being the principal of CHS, so Sunset had taken over to help teach the new generation of high schoolers. It had been hard at first to get used to being a principal of a school but once Sunset got control, CHS had become much more popular over the years for graduating kids with a solid education.
Sunset continued looking at her little memory book, with every picture she would flow with memories. From a picture of Sonata covered in soot when she had climbed into the fireplace to wait for Santa to come down, thankfully the fireplace wasn't lit at the time. From a picture of Adagio and Venus leaning against each other sleeping after having a day full of nothing but fun to Aria and Bael holding hands after going on their first date. Pictures of all the girls and their dates for Homecoming and Prom, to family pictures of them traveling across the world to all kinds of amazing cities and countries.
She even had pictures from when they were babies to now when they were married, it was crazy to think of how fast time had gone by. It was like it was yesterday when Tom had first walked up to her door and handed her the little Dazzlings and asked her to take care of them. At first, everything was going by so fast that she couldn't believe what was happening and why they were so small, but now she couldn't be more happier that she had decided to take them in and take care of them. Even if they had caused her multiple headaches and problems, she still loved them dearly. Talking about Tom that had reminded her of Tom and how things were going for him and his business.
After Aaron was arrested and the dimension traveling Anon and Sonata came and took Aaron back to their dimension where he would be in jail for the rest of his life, Tom got right back to work to make the future great. Thanks to Tom's hard work the world as they knew it thrived so much better than it had ever had, and it was all thanks to him and his company, which was now the number one company in the world. Tom was by far not the richest person on Earth but he was certainly in the top ten every year, and who knows, maybe one day he would be the richest man on Earth but only time would tell.
Sunset looked up as something had caught her eye, there up above the fireplace was the Dazzling's old Beys. Union Achilles, Prime Apocalyse, and Lord Spryzen shined, and even though there weren't being used Sunset still made sure to polish the three Beys daily. After the Tag Team tournament, they continued to play with them but as they got older they lost their touch and stopped playing altogether, but Sunset had kept them for souvenirs, maybe her grandchildren would want to play with them when they got older.
Oh yeah, she forgot to mention that she now had grandchildren. She turned to the pictures of her grandchildren, all three of her girls had made such beautiful grandchildren for her and Tom. Adagio and Venus had a little boy, while Aria and Bael had a little girl, Sonata on the other hand were blessed to have twins, a boy, and a girl. Sunset let out a laugh as she remembered the nine months the girls had to suffer until the babies were born, it had been a rough nine months but with her being there everything was fine.
Good things had also happened to Sunset's friends. From Rarity, Pinkie, and Applejack's careers in fashion and becoming top fashion designers, to making a bakery that would later become one of the biggest bakeries, and with the farm, that would be a big support in food for many. And to Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Twilight, with joining the world-famous Wonderbolts team and becoming one of the best players, to making an animal shelter for all the little animals, and becoming a scientist who would have world-breaking discoveries.
Everything seemed to be going right for Sunset and her friends and family. Even though things outside of her world seemed to be going well, even after all these years she still stayed in contact with Twilight from Ponyville and she had taken over Celestia's and Luna's roles as the Princess, and not only that but her friends (Sunsets friends in the other world) had also accomplished their goals in doing what they loved.
As Gilda and Gabby, over the years they had gotten closer and were finally able to get that mother-and-daughter relationship they so wanted. Gilda was able to find a new man and Gabby was able to have a father figure in her life. Gabby had become a better person treating everyone with respect, Gilda had also changed her life and decided to become a working citizen. Things had changed for the two more the better, their lives had made a major switch and things couldn't have been better for them.
Sunset couldn't be happier for all of her friends and family, everyone had achieved their dreams including her little girls. Now all was left was for Sunset's grandchildren to grow up and achieve whatever goals they had. But until that time came Sunset would support them with whatever they wanted to do, no matter what she would always be there for them. The thought of her grandchildren getting older and starting their careers or having a family made Sunset smile, maybe she would be able to see her great-grandchildren.
It was crazy to imagine that her journey to once take care of the baby Dazzlings was now over. She would no longer have to tell them what to do or show them how to do things. Tell them that it was time to good to bed and to tuck them in and kiss them goodnight after reading them a bedtime story. Sunset would no longer have to take to them and from school, and she would no longer get to hug them tight or play with them with all of their toys. She would no longer have to be a mother to them, as much as it hurt Sunset to think about it, it was the truth.
However, that didn't mean that she couldn't do those things with someone else. Sunset loved kids, even before the arrival of the baby Dazzlings she always thought about having a kid of her own but she was still used to things in the world so she wasn't too sure it would've been a good idea. But all of those negative thoughts went away when she took in the Dazzlings and got to realize how much fun being a parent could be and having kids. After a discussion regarding introducing someone new into the family with Tom, the two adults agreed and did just that.
Looking down Sunset smiled and rubbed her stomach where a noticeable bulge was sticking out. Yes. After that discussion with Tom, the two of them decided to make that dream a reality. With their new family member on the way and with the arrival of their new family member right around the corner Sunset couldn't wait to be a mother once again, but this time with a kid that was actually theirs. She couldn't wait to have that moment when she gets to meet her child for the first time, to see what her beautiful little baby would look like.
Of course, she already has a name picked out for her adorable little baby girl. Yes, she was having a little girl she had already figured that out a month ago and she couldn't have been more excited. The name she and Tom agreed on was Stella, since Sunset was Tom's sunset Stella would be his star, a cheesy little idea that Sunset absolutely loved. Sunset turned her head to look at a group photo of her, Tom, her friends, and her girls. She gave a teary smile, even though the Dazzlings at first weren't the best of people, they had changed their lives completely with this second chance given to them. I guess one could say that this truly was... A Dazzling New Life!
The End!

Author's Note
If you have not seen A Dazzling New Life then I highly recommend to read it before reading this. If you don't care then fine by me, it won't be my fault if you don't understand some things later on it the book. Hope you all enjoy!
1. A Rise Of A New Era! Dazzling Bladers!
It had been a year since Sunset and Tom had gotten married on that dazzling day. Since then Sunset and the Dazzlings moved out of Celestia's house and moved into Tom's house. The Dazzlings were currently off for their summer break, where they would then be going into the 6th grade. Nothing incredible had happened since summer started but what the Dazzlings didn't know was that their summer was going to become the best summer they would ever have.
The Dazzlings were currently on the couch like they had been for the past few days. Adagio was skipping over channels to find something that might be of interest. She was about to skip over another channel but something caught the corner of her eye. "Hey! Aria, Sonata, come look at this."
Aria and Sonata came down from the upstairs floor to see what Adagio had called them for. What they saw on the TV also caught their eyes. On TV, Tom and Aaron were giving a speech about something that was sparking interest throughout the world. Adagio grabbed the remote and turned up the volume to hear what they were talking about. "It seems as though a new era has risen. Its popularity has caught the interest of many, not only in Canterlot but throughout the world. Therefore, we would like to tell and show you all what this new era is all about." Aaron, who had been speaking then turned over to Tom.
Tom looked at Aaron and nodded as he put on a smile. "This new era is known as Beyblade! All over the world, Beyblades are being made for the likes of you." Tom pointed at the screen and then at a picture of what the Dazzlings guessed to be a Beyblade. "They are called Gamma Beys and each one of them holds different capabilities and powers, that we are still learning about. Bladers and Beys must have a strong bond in order for Bey's full potential to be released. There is a store nearby that is selling Beys at this moment, if you would like a Beyblade, go ahead and get one. That is all, thank you." Tom said as then the speech ended and the channel went back to some show revolving around talking dogs saving the day.
Adagio, Aria, and Sonata all looked at the TV with sparkles in their eyes, Adagio and Aria because of what they had just seen and Sonata because of the show that was now on. The TV had shown where the Beyblade store was and what Beyblades looked like. To the Dazzlings, Beyblades looked like the coolest thing they had ever seen. Once Tom's and Aaron's speech was over the Dazzlings heard their mother walk down the stairs. Once the Dazzlings saw Sunset they ran over to her.
"Momma!" The Dazzlings yelled, running up to their mother.
"Yes, girls? Do you need something?" Sunset asked as she looked down at her three girls wondering why they had run up to her.
"We just saw Dad's speech about Beyblades. Can we get some from that store?" Adagio asked as she looked at her, with begging eyes.
Sunset didn't look too sure. "You sure you want these Beyblades? Isn't that like a boy thing?" She questioned.
The girls shook their heads as Aria then pointed at the TV. "Dad said that anyone could do it. And we want to try it."
Sunset looked at Aria until she felt something tug on her pants. She looked down and saw Sonata looking up at her. "Please, momma." Sonata begged as she gave her deadly puppy eyes to her mom.
Sunset looked at Sonata and then at Aria and Adagio who followed in Sonata's footsteps, also giving their puppy eyes. Unable to say no, Sunset sighed. "Ok, ok. We'll get all three of you some Beyblades. Come on, we don't want to get there, and then they're all out of Beyblades." Sunset said as she grabbed her car keys. The Dazzlings cheer for their success and Sunset and the Dazzlings then got into the car and headed off to the Beyblade store.
Once Sunset and the Dazzlings got to the store they walked came to a stop and when they looked inside the store they released that it was empty. Now that was something that confused the Dazzlings, did people just not like Beyblades or did they come to the wrong store? Confused, the Dazzlings and Sunset get out of the car and walk into the store. Inside the store, it was full of Beyblades everywhere they looked. The girls looked in awe at all of the cool Beyblades inside the store. Beyblades of every shape and color were in the store, and each one of them held a different power, one that the Dazzlings wanted to see. A guy then walked up to Sunset and the Dazzlings with a smile on his face and judging from the tag on his shirt, he was the owner of the store.
"Hello. I'm Arven, the owner of this store. Are you girls looking to get a Beyblade?" The owner, who was named Arven asked as he looked at the girls and Sunset.
Sunset nodded her head. "Yes, we are. We're just looking around for right now."
Arven nodded his head. "Well, when you three find some beys that you would like just come to me. If you have any questions just come to me."
Nodding her head, Sunset then turned to the girls. "Now you heard the nice man, Arven. You girls go ahead and look around for a Beyblade you might like. If you have any questions just go up to him and I'm sure he'll be happy to help you."
"Ok, momma." The Dazzlings said as they then went their own ways to look around.
The Dazzlings began walking around the store looking for a Beyblade to call theirs. Each Beyblade had a little piece of paper under it that had all of the Bey's information about it. Such as the Bey's name, which way it spun, and its type.
Aria and Adagio were actually taking it seriously and were looking around for a Beyblade. But Sonata however was distracted by all of the pretty colors of the Beys. Sonata was taking it kinda seriously but none of the Beyblades were really catching her interest.
"Hey, Mom. I think I found a Beyblade I want." Adagio said as she walked over to Sunset.
"So have I." Aria said as she too walked over to her mom.
"Well, what did you girls get?" Sunset asked as she looked at Adagio and Aria who had their Beys in their hands.
Aria and Adagio both gave their Beyblades to Sunset so she could see them. Aria's Beyblade was black in color, and on the tag, it said the Bey was an Attack Type. The Bey's name was called Prime Apocalypse. It looked like the perfect Beyblade for Aria to have. While Adagio on the other hand had a red Beyblade. Its name was Union Achilles and it was a Balance Type. It came with some sort of blue sword thing. Sunset looked at it confused, she was going to have to ask Arven what the sword was for.
"These Beys look like they'll make a perfect Beyblade for you two. Now, all we have to do is wait for Sonata." Sunset said as she called out for Sonata. "Sonata, have you found a Beyblade you would like yet?"
"Yeah, I found one." Sonata said handing her Beyblade over to Sunset. Sonata just like Adagio had gotten a red-colored Beyblade. Her Beyblade was called Turbo Spryzen, and it was a Balance Type like Adagio's. "Well, I guess now all we have to do is pay for them." Sunset said as she and the Dazzlings made their way over to the cashier where Arven was waiting for them.
Arven smiled at the four. "I do hope you four found everything alright. Do you have any questions about your Beys?"
"Yeah, is there anything we should know about this Beys?" Sunset asked Arven.
"Well yes actually." Arven then started with Spryzen. "Turbo Spryzen has something called the Turbo Awakening, it has Turbo Blades that come out if launched strong enough. The Turbo Awakening is so strong that it stops Spryzen from bursting. Also, it can change from Right spin to Left spin." Arven then went to Apocalypse. "Prime Apocalypse has a Burst Prevention System where it can go three hundred sixty degrees without bursting. The only way it can burst is if you hit that sword with strong enough force." Arven then went over to Achilles. "As for Union Achilles, that blue thing that you see is an extra boost for its power. With that sword, the attack power of Achilles rises, but without the sword Achilles is more defensive. Also, since Achilles and Spryzen are Balance Types they can change modes from Attack, Defense, and Stamina." The owner concluded.
The Dazzlings along with Sunset look at Arven stunned at all that he said. "Wow, okay. Girls I hope you remember that because I know I won't." Sunset chuckled a bit, as she then looked back at Arven. "Well, thank you so much." Sunset said as she handed him the money.
"No, thank you. I hope you girls enjoy your Beys." The owner said as he smiled at the Dazzlings.
The Dazzlings smiled back and waved as they walked out of the store with their new Beys and launchers in hand. Their summer was going to finally get exciting with their new Beys. Fun adventures were in store for the Dazzlings, along with some awesome battles that were yet to come their way. The three girls looked at one another and smiled as they then raised their Beys high in the air as the sun shined on them, marking the beginning of a new adventure.
Preview: The Dazzlings get word from Frizzle to come over to her house. When they get there, they're in for a surprise as Frizzle has a Gamma Bey of her own as well! Wanting to test their Beys out the four girls have their first battle with against their friend.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers: Magical! Wizard Fafnir!
11. Almighty Dragon! Royal Genesis!
The Dazzlings, Leon, Gabby, and Aaron all took cover from the storm. Adagio was currently trying to fix her hair while Leon and Gabby kept staring at each other. Sonata and Aria had gone into Leon's house and asked his mom if they could call Sunset to tell them they were ok.
'It just had to rain, didn't it?' Adagio looks in the window, at her hair to see that it was just the way she liked it. 'There we go, perfect!' Just then her hair goes back in a big puff of craziness. Adagio sighed. 'Dang it.'
"Once this storm is over we'll have our battle. Get ready to be defeated, because I will beat you." Gabby said with a smirk. She was already starting her trash talk with Leon and the battle had yet to begin.
"I wonder what's bigger? Your ego or that mouth of yours." Loen sighed. "Fine, I'll take you on. But don't cry once I'm the one that beats you." Leon said as she glared at her. He was still mad at her for interrupting his battle against the Dazzlings. 'We might be somewhat friends with each other, but we're not friends in the ring.' Leon thought as he looked at Gabby.
Just then Sonata and Aria come back outside, looking for Adagio.
"Adagio! We called mom, she knows we're ok." Sonata said, running towards Adagio. Adagio wasn't paying much attention because she was still trying to fix her hair.
"Yeah, yeah. That's amazing Sonata, now if you mind I'm having a life crisis right now." Adagio said trying to fix her hair.
"You love your hair way too much, you know that?" Aria asked Adagio. Adagio just shrugged her shoulders at Aria's remark, she didn't really care, all that mattered was fixing her hair right now.
"And you love those dresses too much, huh?" Adagio looks in the mirror to see her hair completely fixed, she then turns back to Aria with a smirk.
Aria blushes and looks away with her arm crossed. Just then the storm dies down, everyone looks up to see the sun finally coming back out. And now that the storm was over, Leon and Gabby got up and walked toward the stadium, Aaron and the Dazzlings start to follow them to the stadium but Sonata stops Adagio.
Adagio looks at Sonata confused. "Do you need something Sonata? I kinda want to see this battle and watch Gabby get beat by Leon."
Sonata started fiddling with her fingers, she had a small blush on her face. She then asks in Adagio in a small voice. "Uh... what happens now? I didn't win but didn't lose either... so?"
Adagio understands what Sonata is talking about and shook her head. "We'll talk about this later, but you gave that battle your all, I'm proud of you. If Gabby didn't get in the way you might have won, now come on let's go watch this match."
"Yeah!" Sonata said with a smile. She was glad that Adagio praised her.
Leon and Gabby look at each other across from the stadium, a fire in both of their eyes. Aaron was in the middle of the stadium, the Dazzlings guessed he was going to be the referee for the battle.
"Listen, this will be a first to two points. A Survivor Finish and a Ring-Out Finish are one point, and a Burst Finish is worth two points. Bladers get ready!"
Leon gets into place while Gabby shows off her Bey to the Dazzlings and Leon. "This is my Bey! Royal Genesis! It's a clockwise spinning Defense Type!" Gabby then smirked. "And that means I have the advantage against your Luinor."
Leon smirked. "Looks like a Bey worth crushing, hope you're ready to lose."
"Listen closely I have a prediction." Gabby said, with a smirk on her face.
Leon looks at Gabby in confusion. "Is that so?"
Gabby smirked and nodded her head. "Your precious Zone Luinor will not be able to leave even a scratch on Royal Genesis."
Leon starts laughing at Gabby's remark. "That's hysterical, let's see that happen when I beat you."
Aaron watched Leon and Gabby and decided to make the call. "Now Bladers, get ready and set!"
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled and with that Luinor and Genesis land at the stadium.
Both pass each other, barely missing hitting. Genesis takes the center while Luinor rushes around the stadium looking for a chance to strike. Luinor then hits Genesis and... the attack does nothing?
"What the heck?" Leon was confused as to what happened.
"Luinor's attack did nothing to Genesis, what's going on?" Sonata asked, looking at her sister to see if they had an answer.
Adagio looked at the scene. "So that's what Gabby meant by Luinor not being able to land a scratch on Genesis."
Luinor keeps trying to hit Genesis with a flurry of hard blows. But every attack keeps on doing nothing to Genesis, and Genesis had yet to even move an inch.
Leon smirked as he looked at Gabby. "I see, so this is what your Bey is all about. You're trying to win this thing by wearing down Luinor's stamina."
Gabby just looks at Leon not even giving him a response. Luinor shoots up the stadium slope and then comes down for a huge attack, but just like the other attacks it does nothing and Luinor gets thrown back.
"Luinor attacks just keep getting repelled. How will Leon be able to handle beating her?" Aria said, looking at the battle in amazement.
Luinor keeps on trying to hit Genesis, but they all fall to Genesis's perfect defense. Leon just smiled. "How entertaining. You really are an amusing one, Gabby!"
Luinor gets thrown back once again by Genesis. Luinor's tip gains traction from the outer rim of the stadium, causing it to gain a huge amount of speed and power.
"Let's end this! Lunior!" Leon yelled. To the Dazzlings, it felt as though they could feel Luinor right there in the backyard. But that was impossible... right? "Zone Slam!"
Luinor bounces off of the wall and heads right toward Genesis. Gabby just looks at Luinor unamused at it.
Aria gasped. "Luinor is charging in for an attack!"
"This might just be it for Gabby and Genesis." Sonata as she watched Leon charge toward Genesis.
'No. Gabby has something planned. She took all those hits on purpose and she plans on doing the same thing with this attack.' Adagio thought.
Luinor rams into Genesis, and Genesis starts to move away from the center.
"Now break through their defense!" Leon yelled.
Gabby eyes glow for just a second, no one saw it except for Aaron and Adagio.
'What was that? Is that some sort of power-up like in the animes? Or was that... something else... more sinister.' Adagio thought.
"Take on my Bey if you think you can! Royal Scream!" Gabby yelled.
The Dazzlings look in shock as they see both Luinor and Genesis get sent flying into the air. Both Beys hit the ground with a ding. Gabby and Leon both look at their Beys on the ground. Then they along with the Dazzling look at Aaron to see what he had to say.
"It's a simultaneous Ring-Out Finish! Draw! No points are rewarded." Aaron declared.
"Unbelievable! Both Beys were sent out of the stadium with just one blow." Aria said still surprised at what she had seen.
"I know, right? This match is crazy." Sonata said, looking at Aria with a worried expression.
Gabby picks up her Bey. "I guess my prediction was a little off. You may have broken through Genesis's defense this round, but it won't happen again." Gabby's eyes glowed once again as she looked back at Leon while a sinister smile.
"I gotta hand it to you, you're worthy of battling me after all, how exciting." Leon starts to laugh.
The Dazzlings all look at Leon and Gabby, this battle was going to be tough. Gabby and Leon look at each other, both with the same fire in their eyes as before. Neither of them looked as though they wanted to lose to the other, but in the end, only one would come out victorious. The only question was; which one was going to win?
Preview: The Second Battle goes underway between Leon and Gabby. During their battle, Gabby's Bey does something that surprises everyone! Who will win the battle between Gabby and Leon? Only time will tell.
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! The Tyrant! Superior-Flux!
28. The Perfect Bey! Eclipse Genesis!
Somewhere else in town...
While Sunset told the Dazzlings about their evil past lives, Gabby was currently at Aaron's house.
"I'm sorry, I failed you. I was unable to take the victory nor was I able to beat Adagio." Gabby apologized as she bowed to Aaron.
"You actually helped me more than you think. Thanks to you I know now that the Dazzlings are capable of much more than meets the eye." Aaron then pressed a button that reshowed the part of Adagio transforming in Battle. "When Adagio unlocked her new profound power she unintentionally activated Sunset's and her friend's magical powers. Thanks to my genius device I sucked the magic out of all of them except for Adagio's." Aaron said as he held the device in his hands with a smile.
Aaron thinks back to when Adagio transformed causing a chain reaction and making Sunset and her friends transform. Quickly, Aaron pulled out his device and activated it turning on the device which then sucked away the magic within Sunset and her friends. They were so focused on Adagio's Battle that they didn't realize what had happened.
Gabby looked at Aaron confused. "Might I ask... why you didn't take Adagio's magic along with Sunset's and her friends? You could've stolen all of their magic at once."
"Adagio's magical powers had just been unleashed for the first time. She's still got a long way to go before her powers hit maximum levels. It would be pointless to take such weak magic powers, I'll wait to take her powers until they get stronger. But she's not the only one, if she could unlock a power like this then so could her two other sisters. Now, this is where you come in. You must make Adagio and Aria's magic powers rise to newfound levels." Aaron told Gabby.
Gabby tilted her head in confusion. "What about Sonata? She's a part of the Dazzlings as well, shouldn't we be worried about her as well?"
Aaron scoffed and rolled his eyes at what Gabby had said. "You've already beaten that poor excuse for a Dazzling twice and not to mention you shattered her Bey. Sonata is irrelevant, out of everyone she should be the least of your worries. Now, come on. We shall begin making the most perfect Bey! A Bey that is suitable for your worth in Battle! A Bey that can and will never lose! If I combine the Bey with the magic I have stolen from Sunset and her friends, it'll be unstoppable! Beating you will be impossible, nothing will stop us from taking over the world!" Gabby and Aaron both let out an evil laugh, this new Bey was going to be the strongest Bey the world have ever seen.
It had been a few hours after Gabby and Aaron started making the so-called "strongest Bey" in the world. After a while it was finished, it was a lot like Royal Genesis but it looked much stronger, it even had some weird armor on it. Gabby looked at the Bey in awe as Aaron smirked at what he had created.
"This Bey will be known as Eclipse Genesis. Thanks to the Eclipse Armor, bursting this Bey is now impossible. Thanks to the magic I stole, this Bey is even stronger than it was without the magic. Now, to find a test subject to test out the new Bey." Aaron thought about it but then looked down at Gabby. "Gabby, do you have anyone in find that you would like to take on?"
Gabby thought for a second and then she looked out the window. Running at full speed was none other than Aria. An evil grin appeared on Gabby's face as she turned her head to Aaron. "I will take on Aria, one of the Dazzlings! With this new Bey, I will surely take down Apocalypse! And with how Aria's been acting... maybe we can get her to join our side. Think about it, two unburstable Beys working together. Me and Aria would make the greatest team ever!"
Aaron smiled at Gabby's thinking. "Good idea! Go find Aria and challenge her to a Battle! Show her the power of Eclipse Genesis!"
Gabby nodded her head and ran out of the house to go catch up with Aria. It didn't take long until Gabby was able to catch up. She noticed Aria up ahead who had taken a break to catch her breath by a stadium. She was sitting down looking at her Bey, she looked up when she felt Gabby's presence.
"Aria... member of the Dazzlings. Why are you out at a time like this?" Gabby asked as she looked down at Aria.
"That is none of your business now leave or else. And don't you dare call me a member of the Dazzlings, that's in the past! Nothing but history." Aria said glaring up at Gabby.
"I've come here to challenge you to a Battle!" Gabby showed Aria her new Bey, and Aria's eyes widened. "With Eclipse Genesis, I shall take down you along with your sisters! Now let's throw down, Aria! Or should I say, member of the Dazzlings!"
Aria looked up at Gabby and smirked. "You're on! I'll make you shut up for good this time!"
Gabby and Aria got ready and looked at each other. 'So someone must have told them about their past selves... I could use that as my advantage!'
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" They both yelled.
Both Beys took to the stadium, Eclipse Genesis swooped in to take the center while Apocalypse started to pummel it with some ferocious strikes. What surprised Aria was that Eclipse Genesis was taking all of the attacks on purpose. No matter how hard Apocalypse hit Genesis, Genesis stayed strong.
"Apocalypse! Hit it with Omega Blast!" Aria yelled.
Both Beys go flying, and Apocalypse and Genesis hit the wall making both of their centers go red. Gabby and Aria both see that and smile with delight. They then look at each other with evil grins.
"Activate Prime Reboot to speed up!" Aria cried out.
"Not on my watch! Catch up to them with your Hybrid Force!" Gabby countered.
Apocalypse and Genesis speed up, Genesis was starting to catch up to Apocalypse but Aria had other plans.
"Dodge it Apocalypse!" Aria countered.
Suddenly a dark light took over Apocalypse and Apocalypse dodged the incoming attack. Gabby's eyes widened from the sudden power-up from Apocalypse.
'That looks like my Superior-Flux!' Gabby smirked."Genesis! Unleash Superior-Flux!" Genesis sped up as well and charged after Apocalypse. "Now take it out with Eclipse Whip!"
Aria smirked. "Finish it! Once again, Omega Blast!"
The two Beys collide in the center, however, thanks to Genesis's new special attack Genesis was able to burst through Apocalypse. Aria's eyes widen as she saw her Bey burst before her eyes.
"With a final score of 2-0, it's my victory!" Gabby smiled.
Aria said nothing as she picked up her Bey. Gabby took off the Eclipse Armor from her Bey and handed it out to Aria. Aria looked up at Gabby with surprise.
"The Eclipse Armor can also be put onto your Apocalypse since both of our Beys have the burst prevention system attached to them. With this you and Apocalypse with achieve new powers far beyond your belief. I will lend you this as a gift, think of it as nothing more than a way to get stronger. Us girls got to stay together, right?" Gabby said with sarcasm.
Aria could tell Gabby was acting way too nice, even for herself. But regardless, Aria took the Eclipse Armor and put it on Apocalypse, when she did it was a perfect fit.
"What about you? Don't you need this for your Bey?" Aria asked looking at Gabby in confusion.
Gabby shrugged her shoulders. "I have a spare so that one is yours to keep. However, you shall not use the Eclipse Armor until you have full control over Apocalypse."
"Like Adagio? With her newfound bond with Achilles?" Aria asked.
"Yes. Now I must get going, I have a lot of training to attend to. Hope to see you in the stadium soon Aria, and tell your sister I won't lose to her the next time we battle!" Gabby yelled as she walked away from Aria.
With that Gabby was gone, Aria was still confused by Gabby's behavior but she couldn't care less about her at the moment.
Gabby had turned a corner and when she did she was face to face with Aaron, he didn't look happy. "And why did you give Aria, a member of the Dazzlings the Eclipse Armor?"
Gabby smiled. "I told her that she could only use it until she fully mastered Apocalypse. That will push her to achieve that, so I'm speeding up the progress of Aria unlocking her powers as well. You should be thanking me for what I've just done."
Aaron glared at Gabby. "This better not backfire on us. Failure is not an option at this point in time, if you make another mess up as you did in your match with Adagio our whole plan will fall to ruins!"
"Don't worry, I have no intention of losing to anyone ever again!" Gabby's eyes lit up and Eclipse Genesis shined.
Aria was looking at Apocalypse, she was still thinking about what Sunset had told her earlier, as well as what Gabby told her. Just then she felt another presence, she turned around and saw her Auntie Luna standing behind her.
"If you're here to take me back to my so-called "mom" then you've come for nothing." Aria then stood up and was about to walk off when Luna stopped her.
"I'm not going to take you back to Sunset, rather I want you to come with me for a while. At least until you calm down and can learn to forgive Sunset of her previous actions." Luna said.
Aria looked at Luna and then sighed. "Fine... but just so you know I may be staying longer than you think."
Luna smiled "Take however long you need, you can stay as long as you like. But just know that one day you will have to talk to Sunset again."
Aria scoffed. "That day is in the future... I'll rather be thinking about the present, thank you very much." Aria started to walk towards Luna's car, which was nearby. Luna watched as Aria got into the car and slammed the door, she could feel Aria's pain.
'I'll need to talk to her about not slamming my doors when I get in the car. But not only that I hope Aria realizes that if she doesn't talk to Sunset soon then things may never change.'
"Oh, they will, in the near future they will forgive each other." Luna turns her head and sees Pinkie Pie appear out of nowhere. Luna just looks at Pinkie and then starts to walk away.
"Quit your nonsense." Luna then turns around and smiles at Pinkie Pie. "If you keep breaking the 4th wall people might have to ban you."
With that Luna left a now scared-looking Pinkie alone. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
Preview: After hearing that Aria was found and is living with Luna, Sonata gets to making her new Bey. Sonata will then learn that she will have to start from scratch with her new Bey. She and Spryzen must embark on a journey in recreating their bond. Will Sonata and Spryzen be up to the task or is their bond too broken to be fixed?
Next Time on Dazzling Bladers! Lord Of Flames! Lord Spryzen!
38. Annihilation! To The Semi-Finals!
The Third Round of the team tournament was underway and the Dazzlings were currently facing off against The Ducks. Adagio and Aria had already won their rounds, as it was now Sonata's turn. If she won her match, she and her sisters would make it to the Quarter-Finals. Spryzen clashed with its opponent and sure enough, it overpowered its foe and burst through it.
"Lord Spryzen with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Sonata wins! The Dazzlings win 3-0 and will advance to the Quarter-Finals!" The crowd cheered as the Dazzlings left the stage as they headed to the stands to watch the rest of the matches.
Soon enough the rest of the matches were over and the Fourth-Round matchups were going to be shown. "Hello, boys and girls. Now then the Fourth Round match-ups have been decided!" Everyone looks up to see the last remaining eight teams as their names juggled around the screen as they slowly came to a stop. "In the First Round the Powers will face off with the Jets, in the Second Round the Stars will battle the Rocks, the Third Round will be the Dazzlings vs the Shadows, and finally in the Fourth Round will be the Magicians against the Dragonslayers!" The crowd cheered as the Powers and the Jets walked down to the stage.
It wasn't much of a battle as the Powers who consisted of Derek, Joy, and Lance who was Leon's older brother. They won against their opponents 3-0, making them advance to the Semi-Finals. The Second Round wasn't any better as Athena's team outpowered their opponents and won 3-0, making them also advance to the Semi-Finals. The Dazzlings smiled as their friends won but they then had to get up and head to the stage for their match.
The Dazzlings arrived on the stage as they then got into their group huddle. "Alright, same plan as always. Adagio starts, then Aria, and I finish." Adagio and Aria nod as Adagio heads to the stadium. When Adagio got to the stadium she attached Achilles to her launcher as she put Achilles in Attack Mode. Her opponent, however, showed off his Bey, and when he did it made all the Dazzling's eyes widen.
"It can't be." Aria said as she rubbed her eyes. "I must be seeing things."
Sonata looked wide eyed at what she was seeing. "No Ari, you and me are seeing the same thing."
"No... but that's..." Adagio couldn't believe it, right before her eyes was another Achilles, but it was darkened!
"We the Shadows came here for the sole purpose to take you three down! Not only will we take you down but we'll take you down with your own Beys in our hands!" Their opponent said as he stared at Adagio. Adagio looked down at the ground with her hair covering her eyes, her opponent smiled at the action. Just then Adagio's head shoot up as she glared at her opponent, her eyes glowing green for a second. Her opponent flinched but quickly gained his composure, and attached his Achilles to his launcher.
"Bladers! Get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
With that, both Beys took to the stadium, and the Shadow Achilles hit Adagio's Achilles as her Achilles went up the slope. It gained speed as it went all the way to the top and then raced down the race gaining even more speed.
"You must not know who you're battling, I am the Champion! I won't lose to someone like you! ACHILLES!" Achilles went even faster as it went into Hyper-Flux, and Adagio was sent into her pony-upped form as her pony ears and tail along with her wings appeared. "Show this copycat that we're the real deal! Unison Whip!" Achilles jumped off the slope and blasted toward the Shadow Achilles, the two Beys clashed and Shadow Achilles was blown away and burst into the air.
"Union Achilles with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Adagio wins! The Dazzlings lead 1-0!" The crowd cheered as Adagio left and headed back to Aria and Sonata. Aria stood up and headed to the stadium.
"Aria be careful, they're using our very own Beys. They probably know your going up there, let me Battle for you instead! Spryzen will be able to handle Shadow Apocalypse, and you can deal with Shadow Spryzen, it'll mess up their plan." Aria stared at what Sonata said, as much as she hated to admit it, Sonata was right... for once.
"Fine, you go up in my place. But make sure to watch your guard, Shadow Apocalypse isn't the same as my Apocalypse. They may be the same Bey but their power is different." Sonata nodded as she headed up to the stadium for Aria's place.
"Is allowing her to Battle for you the best idea? I mean don't get me wrong her reasoning makes sense but is Spryzen able to take down Apocalypse, more so a Shadow version of it?" Aria looked at Adagio and then back at Sonata she got into position as the ref counted down.
"If anyone can do it, it's Sonata. She and Spryzen can beat anyone they want to, she won't lose to this anybody. As for me, I'll have to come up with something to take down Shadow Spryzen." Aria then put her hand on her chin to think.
Meanwhile, the Battle with Lord Spryzen and Shadow Apocalypse had already begun, Spryzen was sent flying as it hit the wall but quickly went back to attack Apocalypse. The two Beys clashed back and forth trying to get the edge.
"Omega Blast!" Shadow Apocalypse hit Spryzen sending it flying into the air. Sonata saw this and gasped while her opponent smiled. "Hit it with Final Blast before it lands!" Shadow Apocalypse raced toward the free-falling Spryzen who was left helpless.
"Not on my watch, I refuse to lose to you! Go Spryzen!" Spryzen glowed as it came down to the stadium, its Hyper-Flux slowly shining. Sonata gritted her teeth, she thought she mastered Hyper-Flux but she was wrong. "Counter that attack with Lord Whip!"
The two Beys collided as the force from the attack caused an explosion to come to life. Both Beys fought hard as neither gave an inch, Spryzen however pushed harder as Shadow Apocalypse burst to the pressure. Sonata smiled but it was a very small smile.
"Lord Spryzen with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Sonata wins! The Dazzlings are now up 2-0." The crowd cheered as Sonata walked down to Aria and Adagio, her smile was no longer on her face.
Adagio looked at Sonata confused. "What's wrong Sonata? You won the match and we're only a victory away from winning. You should be smiling like you always do."
Sonata looked down. "Hyper-Flux failed. I wasn't able to make Spryzen glow as it did in my dream, I thought for sure I had mastered it, guess I was wrong even now me and Spryzen can't pull it off. If I can't pull it off even in the Quarter-Finals then things will only get harder in the Semis and possibly even the Finals." Sonata looked down at Spryzen with a sad expression still on her face.
"Cheer up. You and Spryzen will one-day master Hyper-Flux and when you do it'll be the best Hyper-Flux the world had ever seen. I'll finish this match and then the three of us can do some training to help you and Spryzen." Aria walked to the stadium but not before putting her hand on Sonata's head. "You may be an idiot but you're stronger and smarter than what you give yourself credit for."
Sonata smiled with small tears in her eyes. "Thanks, Ari." Aria smiled as she headed to the stadium, where the last of the Shadow Bladers stood. Both Bladers got into position as they attached their Beys to their launchers.
"Ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Apocalypse and Shadow Spryzen circled around the stadium. They clashed in the center as Spryzen started striking Apocalypse down with a flurry of attacks. The barrage was so ferocious that Apocalypse had no time to recover or time to counter the attacks coming his way.
"Aria is in danger!" Sonata yelled.
"Aria you gotta get out of there!" Adagio yelled.
Aria gritted her teeth at the scene. "Tell me something I don't know!"
"Counter Break!" The shadow Blader yelled.
Shadow Spryzen hit Apocalypse once again sending it flying causing it to hit the stadium wall. Apocalypse now wobbled as its stamina was burnt away from the attacks. Aria begin to worry as Shadow Spryzen was rushing in to finish the job.
The shadow Blader smirked. "End them with Lord Whip!"
Aria's eyes glowed green as she smiled. "APOCALYPSE!" Apocalypse glowed as it went into Dark-Flux, along with Aria's pony ears, tail, and wings to appear. Apocalypse activated Prime Reboot as it raced toward Spryzen. "Send their attack back with Primal Sphere!"
The two Beys collide, the impact causing both Beys to go flying. Apocalypse flew out of the ring as Shadow Spryzen flew toward the wall of the stadium, upon making contact it burst as Apocalypse hit the ground.
"Prime Apocalypse with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Aria wins! The Dazzlings win with a final score of 3-0 and will be advancing to the Semi-Finals!" The crowd cheered as the Dazzlings jumped up and down in their victory. They had not only won but would be heading to the Semi-Finals!
The last Round had started, as it was Gabby, Leon, and Dean going up against Frizzle, Valex, and Venus. The first few rounds had not turned out so good for the Magicians as Leon gave Valtryek a nasty Burst Finish and Dean didn't even give Frizzle a shot as he put Devolos in Left spin Mode. With it having more attack power than Fafnir, it was able to burst Wizard Fafnir without a problem. Last up were Gabby and Venus.
"Venus if you can pull off this win, we can change the momentum. Go out there and give it your all, for us." Frizzle said as she looked at Venus.
"You got this brother, Gabby may seem tough and powerful but I know you can take her down! Go out there and show her who she should be afraid of." Valex said as he smiled at his brother.
"Don't worry I got this!" Venus walked to the stadium while Gabby stood yawning as she saw Venus.
"Let's make this quick, I crush you and my team moves on. Simple as that." Gabby said as she got into position.
Venus then got into position. "Not happening, I'm taking you down! And then it'll be your whole team who falls, I'll be the one to crush you!"
Gabby smirked as her eye glowed. "Fine, you've pushed my hand. Don't cry when the final results are shown."
"Get ready and set!" The referee yelled.
"Three! Two! One! Let it Rip!" Everyone yelled.
Genesis and Valtryek took to the stadium, the two Beys clashed as Genesis took the center. Genesis held down the fort as Valtryek continued to attack it over and over.
"Knock them out of the center! Cosmic Whip!" Venus yelled.
Valtryek hits Genesis, causing Genesis to be sent out of the center. Venus smiled but then realized Genesis was heading toward Valtryek. Genesis hit Valtryek as it started pushing Valtryek up against the stadium wall.
Venus gasped. "Get out of there Valtryek!"
Genesis kept Valtryek in place as Valtryek was stuck between Genesis and the stadium wall, leaving it completely cornered. Gabby smiled as Genesis kept slamming Valtryek, soon small cracks started to appear. Venus gasped as Gabby smiled. The cracks got worse and worse, if things didn't change Valtryek would be destroyed.
"STOP IT!!" Venus cried out.
But Gabby didn't if anything Genesis started pushing even harder, and before Venus could see anything else, Valtryek was shattered. Pieces of Valtryek fell on the stadium, Venus stared in disbelief as he fell to his knees. The Dazzlings gasped as Adagio put her hands to her mouth.
"Eclipse Genesis with a Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Gabby wins! The Dragonslayers will advance to the Semi-Finals!" The crowd cheered as Gabby's team left with the Magicians also leaving but with a very sad Venus. The Dazzlings watched as Venus sadly left the stage.
"Poor Venus..." Aria looked over to Adagio, as much as she wanted to tease Adagio she knew now wasn't the time.
"With all four teams in the Semi-Finals, it's time to announce the Semi-Final match-ups." The screen showed the Dragonslayers, the Powers, the Stars, and the Dazzlings. Just then the names juggled around the screen as the names then came to a stop. "The First Round will be the Dragonslayers vs the Powers and the Second Round will be the Stars vs the Dazzlings."
Gabby smirked as she looked at her opponents. The Dazzlings smiled while they had a stare-down with Athena and her team. Everyone seemed to be fired up for the Semi-Finals.
Sonata looked back at Aria and Adagio. "Girls, we're going to take down Athena and her team no matter what and then make it to the Finals!"
"Yeah!" Aria and Adagio yelled.
"The Semi-Finals will take place tomorrow, mark your calendars people because tomorrow the four best teams in the world will battle it out for the chance to make it to the Finals! Which two teams will make it to the Finals? Who will win it all and be declared the world's strongest team? Only time will tell, we'll see you all tomorrow!" The announcer said.
As everyone began to leave for the day, the Dazzlings couldn't help but feel excited for tomorrow. Tomorrow they would face off with Athena, Bael, and Phoebe, their opponents couldn't be better.
Preview: With the Semi-Finals beginning, the Dazzlings must face their greatest challenge as their Semi-Finals opponent is the Stars. Meanwhile, the Dragonslayers will face the Powers, which of these two teams will win and make it to the finals? And will the Dazzlings be able to beat Athena and her team or are the Stars shining brighter than the Dazzlings?
