RPG Beast so Broken [PG-LV]

[Ezekiel]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]The sounds of a rip cord being pulled at a dangerous speed echoed around a basically empty stadium. The trails wouldn't be starting for another hour, but a few die-hard Bladers had turned up early to get to know some of the competition. They knew that the ones who arrived just on time would be those who didn't care for Blading.

Beth was one of the teenagers standing at the back, watching others practice their launches in the latest Bey Dish, one that measured all the blades stats exactly, even the Chief was impressed.

Kenny was there, in fact, standing in the stands with Tyson next to him. Rei and Kai were due to arrive soon and Max would be coming in the afternoon with his mum and the All Stars. They would be the judges, the ones who would decide the final team to go against the Seraphim. But everyone knew that they had their favourites, Kai would choose Beth, Rei would choose Kira and Tyson would obviously choose Trey. After all, the greatest bladers of all time couldn't exactly pick a stranger over their own apprentices?

After another 10 minutes, the hall had gradually started to fill. Happy and nervous voices filled the hall, young children crowded around the celebrities that had made an appearance and the Blitzkrieg Boys, who actually showed up, weren't getting a very warm welcome.

Rei was laughing and playing with younger children while White Tiger X looked on, Kira standing with them and chuckling. Kai and Beth stood together by one of the farthest Bey Dishes, discussing her tactics and keeping to themselves. Of course, Tyson had to be the centre of attention, he stood in the middle of the floor, laughing and handing out autographs while hanging on tightly to a blushing Trey.

Once the clock struck 11:00, the stadium went quiet as the lights dimmed, DJ Jazzman jumped down from an obscure place in the stadiums ceiling and landed expertly next to Tyson, his teeth gleaming pearly white.

Have fun all, I may ask others in the RP to judge if we have a serious match, so keep in mind the different attacks and attributes of your blade for when that comes. Thank you everyone for joining, sign ups are still open for anyone who's interested. Unfortunately, all trail team places are taken, but Seraphim have spots left ^_^[/B][/SIZE]

[Kayin Cloud]

"Alright T.J. you go out there and show em what blading's all about!" Tyson shouted enthusiastically. He shook Trey up to get him pumped.

Trey laughed and replied with the same enthusiasm, "I'll give it my all Tyson! There's no way I'm gonna lose here!" He pulled out his Beyblade. "As long as I've got Dragoon to back me up...I won't lose to anyone..." He looked around scanning his opponents. He put his Dragoon Metal Storm back in his pocket.

Kenny looked at TJ. "Now don't get over confident. The competition here looks pretty tough."

"Calm down, Chief. I trained him after all." Tyson said arrogantly. "No way he's gonna lose...except maybe to the others' students. But those should be some awesome matches."

"I'll do my best guys. That's all I can do..." Trey said and he headed into the group of Bladers waiting to go at it.

[Kitty]

[COLOR=Blue][SIZE=1]Kayla watched the others who were trying out as they preparing to go infront of possibly the best team of BeyBladers ever. It was easy to see why they were nervous. And especially since three of them basically had their pick guarenteed. But Kayla didn't. She didn't know any of the old Blade Breakers. All she knew was her beyblade and herself.

She'd just have to win the old fashion way: blowing away the competition.

All the kids around were amatuers, no more than middle schoolers with either a big wallet or big mouth. Kayla was getting tired of hearing them all brag about how they'd be the next Tyson or the next Kai. Of course, Kayla had a soft spot for Kai. A quite large one, too, but she kept it secret.

And because of her ability to keep quiet, nobody knew.

Bladers went into the spotlights of the stadium to battle another randomly chosen blader, over and over again, and eachtime they came back with large smiling faces as if they knew that they had nailed one of those four spots. Kayla watched and noted each of their performances. They were all okay, except for the completely sloppy kids. Even they knew at that point that their chance was gone.

Soon, after years of training, it was her turn to go up. The other three, Trey, Beth and Kira, she found out their names were, hadn't gone yet. But still, there was only one slot open and Kayla was determined to get that spot.

"Can our next two bladers come out from the locker rooms?" she heard DJ Jazzman call. "Here goes," she whispered to herself, grabbing her beyblade tight.

"I'd like you, the audience, to meet our next two contestants!" The crowd screamed and cheered, rooting the two on to give them a good show. "We have Kayla and Joshua!" More cheering. Kayla observed her opponent carefully as she took her stance infront of the Bey Dish. "Come on, Kerberous.. Don't let me down. I know you can do it.." she muttered to her beyblade as she hooked it on the launcher.

Then DJ Jazzman started his countdown. "3... 2... 1... LET IT RIP!" Kayla and Joshua mimicked his shout in unison. "LET IT RIP!" they shouted, sending their blades spining ferociously into battle.

Kayla planned to bring out her bit beast only if she couldn't win anyother way. No need to waste Kerberous's time, she thought. And, she noted, why waste her bit beast when Josh had none, other to impress the judges? But she was sure that she didn't need Kerberous to impress them.

For only a few minutes the battle went on. Joshua's beyblade faired none to well against Kayla's experiance and bond to her beyblade. His ran, trying to dodge and manuever around Kerberous. But this game of tag wasn't going to impress anyone, so Kayla thought it best to end the match sooner rather than later.

"Kerberous! Backspin!" she called out. And almost instantly, her blade stopped and began to slow, but it stayed spinning on its axis. Suddenly, it picked up its speed again and sped off in the other direction from Joshua's blade. Kerberous, instead of spinning right, was spinning left on its tip. This startled only the Blade Breakers since only their eyes could catch it. Suddenly, Kayla's blade blasted off to the right at an alarming speed, turning quickly enough to avoid flying out of the ring. Back at Josh's blade it practically flew, nailing it directly and stopping it on contact. As Kerberous returned to Kayla's hand, the attack ring fell off, then followed by the weight disk and eventually, it was just a bunch of parts.

"Don't worry. You'll be able to put it back together," Kayla reassured him, not wanting him to worry about her having destroyed his beyblade. "But trust me, Joshua. Find another hobby." All was silent. The match had been over too quick. But as Kayla walked off to the locker room, she glanced at Kai, then heard the crowd practically explode with applause.

She knew she had gotten that fourth spot on the team. She knew it and couldn't have been happier. But she did still want to see the other three soon-to-be teammates of hers fight. She wanted to know just how good they really were.

Kayla grabbed a seat near the judges and waited patiently for Trey, Beth, and Kira to come up on stage.

Olana walked around the stadium watching the matches, the last was impressive but nothing that she would take with her to the others. She wathced as blader after blader stood and battled and came back, one smileing the other throwing curses. She smirked and slipped her hand in her jeans pocket feeling galeon there she smiled.

[I]I could blow them all away....they wouldn't stand a chance.[/I]

She looked at Tj as he spoke with the other bladers there. She had been at the training center listening to Tyson for almost a year now watching him and she felt unthreatened by his skill, only the loyalty of his bit beast. She leaned on a rail and watched as the next matc came forward and sighed. Would nothing come to her eyes in this?

[Ezekiel]

[SIZE=1][B]OOC I don't mean to be a bully right away, but Duo, you seem to be a bit too cocky, tone it down a bit on your characters confidence, I hate to say it, but the Seraphim don't actually compare to the Trial Team Bladers.....that's the point to this RP. At first there will be no contest but as it progresses, the Seraphim will become more powerful. All will become clear ^_~
Oh yeah, Kitty, that post was wonderful![/B]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Beth sighed and leaned in to Kai, whispering in his ear as she watched the other matches with a keen eye. He nodded and sighed as well. The former captain turned his gaze to Tyson and TJ, hoping that his old team mate had trained his best student as well as Kai had his. Even though he and Beth already knew each other, she was more of a student than she would ever be a friend....he knew the girl knew that and it was probably that understanding that kept them together.

DJ Jazzman happily bounced over to the brooding Russian and grabbed his hand, catching Kai totally off guard as a large mic was shoved into his face, causing him to recoil in disgust, glaring coldly at the American standing before him.

[B]"What?"[/B]

[B]"So, Mr. Kai-man, got anything to say about the competition so far?"

"....No."[/B]

Beth couldn't help but chuckle at the announcer's expression after Kai answered him, he looked slightly put out and instead turned his attention to Beth, holding the mic at a fair distance from her now scowling face.

[B]"You have any words so far?"[/B]

Beth cleared her throat and looked straight into the camera, noticing it zooming in on her face.

[B]"Since when did Beyblading need a big headed American psycho as a commentator, when did this sport sink to a new level?"[/B]

That was the last straw, Jazzman looked like he was on the verge of tears, his excitement and perky attitude all gone within a matter of seconds. He sighed and looked to the camera with a forlorn expression,

[B]"Next match....TJ versus Carl...."[/B][/COLOR]

[B]OOC There ya go, Kayin[/B][/SIZE]

[Sakura]

[B]OOC:[/B] Sorry I'm late. This post is kinda like when we entered in the first post, then it continues.

[COLOR=Navy]Rei, Kira and White Tiger X arrived at the stadium, the size of it and the number of Beybladers took her breath away.

"There's so many people, Big brother..." Kira said in her usual quiet voice as her eyes roamed around the floors.

"You'll be fine, Kira, just remember your training." Rei encouraged.

Kira nodded and reached into a hidden pocket, she felt the blades of Driger Metal Slash and felt a calmness wash over her that happened whenever she was beyblading or in contact with Driger.

"The others are here too, with their own 'apprentices'. You'll be the one that'll take over my spot. Do your best." Rei said giving his typical grin before getting rushed by a bunch of kids.

Kira stepped back and stood with the members of White Tiger X, she chuckled as the kids asked for tips on Beyblading.

"Mariah, I don't know if I'll live up to my brother's wishes." Kira whispered to her pink haired friend, they were very close friends, and Mariah was Kira's best friend.

"Don't worry about it, you'll do fine." Mariah said, giving her a gentle hug.

Rei finally escaped from the clutches of the children and stood next to them again, only now his clothes were a bit ruffled.

"Come on guys, let's go find the other Blade Breakers, they're all around here somewhere..." Rei said, putting a hand in his hair as he tried to look for the others.

"I see them, Big brother." Kira said, her eyes were much sharper than Rei's, or anyone's for that matter. "Tyson's over there," she said pointing, "and Kai's over there. Max hasn't arrived yet." she reported.

"Hey! Always trying to look better than me aren't you?" Rei said, pushing her head down gently. Kira grinned and laughed lightly and softly, Rei never liked being topped.

"So are we going or what?" Kira asked.

The others nodded and they started to wade through the bodies.[/COLOR]

[Kayin Cloud]

"Next match....TJ versus Carl...." was the only thing TJ heard since he was sitting down. He stood up instantly and pulled his Dragoon out. "C'mon Dragoon...it's just you and me out there..." He said and walked over to the Bey Dish. His opponent was also from America. TJ bowed to him, "I hope we have a good match." he said curteously.

Carl looked at Trey with a rude look on his face. "Whatever...you're going down kid..."

Trey looked up, "I'm no kid...probably older than you...and more mature in my strategy..." he laughed. "No but seriously, let's have a good match." They both lifted their launchers. Trey had just attached his Dragoon to his. He closed his eyes for a second.

"Ok, everyone! Let's get this started! 3....2.......1.....Let it rip!!!" DJ Jazzman shouted.

Carl and TJ launched at the same time but TJ's expression changed right after the launch. He knew what was going to happen. He watched as his Dragoon slashed his opponent's Beyblade away and continued for Carl. "MOVE!!" TJ yelled. Carl stood in confusion only to feel Trey's Dragoon just miss his hand then land back in the dish. "Man, that was too close..."

"C'mon TJ! No more of that! Stay focused you can win this!" Tyson yelled from the side.

"You're right...I can win this....Let's go Dragoon!" Trey yelled and his Beyblade made an advance for Carl's.

"Dodge!" Carl yelled only to see that his Beyblade was still off balance from the first hit it took. "No way! I can't lose!"

"Do it Dragoon!!!" TJ yelled and his Dragoon collided with Carl's Beyblade, knocking it up against a wall. Once Dragoon let up, Carl's Blade was left by the wall, it's momentum gradually dropping untl it stopped. Dragoon continued spinning even after the match had ended.

"We have a winner! Trey Hairston and his Dragoon Metal Storm!" DJ Jazzman yelled.

TJ picked up his Dragoon, "We did Dragoon...We won our first match..." He walked over to Tyson and was greeted with a choking hug.

"Congratulations TJ! Ya did it!" Tyson said loudly.

"Thanks....can't breathe..." TJ said jokingly and Tyson let go. He looked over to Beth to see her looking back and nodded to him. TJ smirked and took a seat.

"Alright folks! Our next match is between Beth and Kisaragi! Please take your positions!!" DJ Jazzman yelled.

OOC: Sorry if that was a bit much....anyway...you're up Methuselah

[Ezekiel]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Beth smirked as she heard her name called out, she looked to Kai and he nodded, a confident expression clear on his face. Just before Beth started to walk to the Bey Dish, Kai stopped her. The girl looked up and Kai placed a hand on her shoulder, reaching into his pocket and pulling out what looked like grey face paint. Beth blinked and then chuckled as Kai begun putting the trademark triangles that he always wore on Beth's face. She smiled slightly as he showed her what she looked like in the mirror, she gave him a thumbs up and walked to the Dish, smirking at her opponent, Kisaragi.

[B]"Um...I haven't been Beyblading for long...and I um....I've heard you?re good so...can you go easy on me?"[/B]

Beth chuckled and looked at Kisaragi, the girl was obviously putting up an act and Beth wasn't the type who's fall for it.
[B]"From the look of you customized Blade, I'd say that you've been playing for long enough."[/B]

Kisaragi pouted and lauded her launcher, all of her act replaced by a cocky expression,
[B]"I don't care who you are, I'm taking you down!"[/B]

[B]"Yeah, okay..."

"Okay, Bladers! Ready your launchers and....Let it RIP!"[/B]

Beth literally jumped and shouted as she launched, knowing that sheer power was what her best bet. The dish cracked as her Wolborg smashed into the side, rebounding off the edge and spinning full force into Kisaragi's Galix. The female opponent squealed as her blade bounced on the rim of the dish before it toppled and fell back in, still spinning slowly on it's metal tip.

Beth snorted and laughed, receiving a cold glare from Kisaragi,
[B]"This is pathetic, I?m not even trying here."

"Stop pissing about, Beth."[/B]

The grey haired girl cringed as she heard Kai's harsh tone; she nodded and slumped her shoulders, pointing her ripcord at Wolborg, which was currently spinning circles around the un-steady Galix.

[B]"Wolborg, full frontal attack!"[/B] Beth's blade didn't take its time and immediately sped for the helpless Galix, smashing into it and sending in flying out of the dish and past the face of a devastated Kisaragi.

The girl immediately started crying as she clutched her blade, gasping as it shattered in her hands. Beth, on the other hand, walked over to Kai as the next match was announced.[/COLOR]

[B]OOC Since Kane asked me when there was still a place left for the Trail Team, I'm going to allow him to join as one of its members. There will be five people in the trial team and if anyone chooses, they can make their own team. Maybe I'll do that....haha, plot twists developing in my head...
Oh yeah, anyone got any clever ideas for the name of the 'trial team'?[/B][/SIZE]

[Akieen Cloud]

Olana had watched the matches impressed, she whisteled and clapped with the crowd. they were good, the apprentaces that is. She smiled as Tj and Beth both advanced. She looked around at the trainers, Rei, Tyson, Kenny, and Kai were all coversing quietly. Sh enoticed the the last Bladebreaker was not there. Max was no where to be seen.
"That's odd, he was never one to miss a match, of anykind."
She tilted her head sideways as a piece of a chiped gear flew by her head. She shrugged and took out Galeon looking at the blade with a passion she recalled all the matches she had won with this blade, it was her pride. She squezzed it and sighed. She was beginign to get bored again.
"Wish I could be one of the ones bladeing, i mean I like watching it...but I love to blade my-self. Nothing keeps me more occupied. Just to hear the words...I just wanna let it rip and blade with the best...but I'm not. I hate this...all this watching...I would SO rather be bladeing...But I would also get into SO much trouble...'Scope the compition and find out who's in the final team.'"
She rolled her eyes as she mouthed her orders. She looked at TJ again. He really was a good blader...but it seemed he needed more concentration, than again...it could just be her.
"I'm gonna go get a drink...or something."
She pulld her mesh shirt over her shoulder again and blew a bright blue highlight from her face as she walked to a consesion stand, her energy making her all the more bored. She was cocky but she knew that her biggest compition was in this very stadium with her. TJ and Beth being two of them.

[Sakura]

[COLOR=Navy]Kira, Rei, and the White Tigers had almost reached the area where Tyson was when they heard the next announcement.

"The next match is Kira versus Ryu!"

"Let's go get you up there, Kira." Rei said smiling.

Kira just nodded, she had been watching all of the other battles, the others were good and had powerful bitbeasts.
The group headed up to where the beydish was and only Kira ascended the steps to the dish. She looked to the other side as a boy appeared, he looked at her and smirked. He walked up to his side and faced her.

"I can't believe they're making me battle against a girl! You'll be gone so fast you won't know what hit you." the Japanese boy said.

"Whatever you say..." Kira replied calmly, bringing out Driger MS. She attached it to her launcher and positioned herself at the right angle so she would get more power out of it. Ryu just loaded his launcher and got ready.

"Okay, Bladers! Ready your launchers and....Let it RIP!"

Kira tensed her arm and pulled the ripcord strongly, the two beyblades landed into the dish. Kira immediately sent Driger toward Ryu's Seaborg. The two blades clashed, sparks flying as they grinded together. They pulled apart and started to circle.

"Time to finish this," she said, looking at her opponent. "Driger, Metal Slash!" she said, calling not only the name of the beyblade, but the name of its attack.

Driger rushed forward and tilted slightly so its blades slashed Seaborg, then Driger turned and did it again. They waited and Seaborg was in pieces, two slashes breaking through the whole beyblade.

"No! What happened! How could I lose?!" he cried, slumping to his knees.

"Kira Kon and her beyblade Driger Metal Slash are the winners!" DJ Jazzman announced.

Kira walked off stage to be hugged tightly by her older brother.

"Big brother...you're...choking me..." Kira made out. Rei let go and ruffled her already messy hair.

"You did it, Kira!" Mariah said, hugging her too.

"Congratulations, it sure went by real fast." Lee said.

"Now let's keep finding the others now." Rei said, and they started walking again.[/COLOR]

OOC:[/B] The post wasn't too great but it's morning and I don't think well in the morning.

[Guest Sean]

[size=1][b]OOC[/b]: Heh, the late poster, stupid computer, sorry about that.
[color=slategray]
[b]IC[/b]:
Lei was sitting on one of the benches, tweaking her blade ever so slightly. Mainly watching the intense battles, she laughed, as a boy collapsed to the ground crying. [I]Pathetic[/I] she thought, laughing again. She then fixed a glare at the so-called presenter, he was switching glances between her, a piece of paper and another blader across the hall.

"Guess I'm next then" she said to herself.

"The next two bladers will be...Lei Yamasuchi and John Southwick, please report to the bey dish"

They both nodded their heads and stood up. She attached her blade to her customized launcher, lucky her brother owned a customization shop. The lights reflecting of the artowrk on her blade. Her own custom Gigars was something unique, she had changed the colors to a spectacular aura of black and red.

She heard him talking to himself. "Its a girl, I can beat a girl anyday". She laughed at this and said to herself "You'll be getting it for that one my friend".

She then thought to her self, [I]My blade is a prisoner in its launcher. It wants to get out, I need to set it free.[/I]

"3...2...1....LET IT RIP" everyone chanted the last part all around the stadium, but she didn't care, this was it.

Gigars sped straight into the dish, already circling the dish before her oppenents blade had touched it. She roared above the crowd "Increase speed 50% Gigars". And with that it was still see-able, but turning more into a blur.

"Confuse it Gigars" she roared again. She could hear her oppenent trying to shout his commands but Gigars antics were something to be reckoned with. "ATTACK" she screamed. The stadium went still, and a blade flew straight into a wall. She smiled. "Thats me won then, good battle"

She walked over to her oppenet shaking his hand, "Practise more, you will be able to get somewhere at some point". And with that she collected her blade from the dish and walked of, her coat flailing behind her. It was at this point, the crowd burst into a massive applause.[/size][/color]

[size=1]I had meant to post sooner, but better late than suppose.

[CENTER]--------------------[/CENTER]

[I]Kane had been watching quietly from the sidelines, as the reigning European Champion he sometimes had to put up with people looking for autographs and the like but luckily for here there were guys here far more famous than he was. He was quite familiar with Beth having faced her in both the UK and Ireland Championships and the European Championship itself, Kai he had come across a few times, he regularly attended European Competitions though Kane had never had the pleasure of facing him. They had often spoken about different matches, or bladers who showed potential, the since they were both rather quiet in nature the work conversation mightn?t be the most accurate word, his own Death Gargoyle was nowhere near as strong as Dranzer.

He knew he had a match coming up fairly soon, seemingly his opponent was one of the runners-up in the North American Championship, probably be a good match if Kane didn?t beat the crap out of his opponent?s blade in the first ten seconds. Gripping his blade in his left hand he moved over towards where Kai was standing, Kai was someone Kane respected but not admired, after all Kai was only as good as his blade and training had made him. He nodded before leaning against the wall near Kai, he was tempted to ask him what he thought of the match so far however he got the feeling that Kai wasn?t in the mood to talk, Beth was doing well, she always did well and Kane had enjoyed every encounter with her.

Kane watched non-plussed as Beth delivered the final blow to her opponents blade, Worlborg was actually a pretty similar blade to Death Gargoyle, he noted that her skills had improved since the European Finals where he?d beaten her last, it was a close match though Kane had won well. His match was next, Beth smiled at him before he moved off from the wall and made his way towards the Dish, his opponent was a young man with long black hair and a stupid looking grin on his face, army boots and a set of urban camos told him that he was definitely going to enjoy this match.[/I]

[b]Announcer:[/b] [[I]Over-enthusiastically[/I]] AND IN OUR NEXT MATCH WE HAVE REIGNING EUROPEAN CHAMPION MALCOLM KANE FACING AMERICAN PRO-BLADER WARREN GRANT, THIS SHOULD BE ONE TO KEEP YOUR EYES ON FOLKS.

[B]Kane:[/b] A Pro-Blader eh ? Should be an interesting match.

[b]Warren:[/b] Yeah right, you may be the ?European Champion? but since when has European produced anyone good at BeyBlading.

[b]Kane:[/b] It?s Europe moron, not European and besides I could take you down with only a half-powered blade. Now let your moves do your talking or I?m going to send your blade him in so many boxes it?ll have FedEx screwed up for weeks.

[b]Announcer:[/b] FOLKS THESE TWO ARE REALLY BUTTING HORNS,.
3... 2... 1... LET IT RIP !!!

[I]Kane launched Death Gargoyle in the dead middle of the Dish, it not only allowed him to move to any edge of the dish with ease but it also gave him a good defence. His opponent was using a Grip Attacker which had a fairly high attack, especially when it came to first rounds attacks, his best option was to try and draw out the match for a bit before going for the kill.[/I]

[b]Warren:[/b] Grip Attacker, Full Frontal Attack, NOW !!

[b]Kane:[/b] Death Gargoyle, dodge to the right side of the dish and counter.

[I]Kane?s calm nature seemed to upset his opponent, his glare was fixed solely on Kane and not on the dish as it should have been, this slip in his concentration was to cost him. Kane?s blade dodged to the right of Warren?s merely milliseconds before the two were about the meet, swerved along the right side of the dish it came round at a high speed and knocked hard into the Grip Attacker flipping it up into the air. Warren scowled before returning his attention to the match, Kane?s blade had already shot up into the air and was slamming viciously into the Grip Attacker, Kane knew if he could keep it up the Grip Attacker would eventually shatter from the continual hits.[/I]

[b]Warren:[/b] Grip Attacker attack his Death Gargoyle NOW !!

[b]Kane:[/b] Death Gargoyle tilt to upper attack mode and counter.

[I]Warren?s blade slammed into Kane?s sent it hurtling back down into the dish, Kane had already expected that and was merely moving one step ahead of Warren, as soon as his blade touched the side of the dish it spun itself furiously and returned an attack at Grip Attacker, sending it charging over to the other side of the stadium.[/I]

[b]Announcer:[/b] WOW THIS MATCH HAS REALLY HEATED UP, THOUGH KANE AS PER USUAL IS KEEPING HIS ICE COLD MOOD VERY APPARENT, WARREN ON THE OTHERHAND IS GOING ALL OUT WITH HIS GRIP ATTACKER, WILL HE SUCCEED ?

[B]Kane:[/b] Death Gargoyle, finish him off !!

[I]Kane?s Death Gargoyle struck across the dish and slammed full force into his opponent, sending it flying out of the ring, the blade began to break up once it left the dish, almost like a trail of dust. Warren?s fiery appearance seem to disappear as his blade ended up on the floor in about a hundred pieces, he turned to Kane again angry.[/I]

[b]Warren:[/b] How the hell did you do that !!

[b]Kane:[/b] Simple, I beat you.

[I]Kane moved back to standing beside Beth and Kai, Beth gave him a hug and he got the traditional steely emotionless nod from Kai.[/I][/size]

[COLOR=Blue][SIZE=1]"When will they announce the 'winners'?" Kayla asked. "I'm not sure. Most of the big battles have already happened. You know, the kids that were trained personally and some really neat ones. Yours wasn't too bad, either. And there was this ONE kid who was merciless!" the man answered.

"Um.. Thanks," she muttered, walking away. "No problem," he called after her, starting again on his sandwich. "I still don't know! Damn. I want to know if I made it or not already! I hate being patient," she complained while walking back from the concession stands. The man she had been talking to was on his lunch break. Then she remembered that she had forgotten her popcorn.

"Great. Two bucks down the drain." Kayla was the shy type, so she didn't want to embarrass herself by going back for some food. People might think she's cheap, or something. But she shook it off. [i]Forget the food..[/i] she thought. "Ouch!" she whispered as a small boy ran over her feet. "I need to sit down." As she found a bench, she heard Jazzman call out for a few names. Hers was one of them.

"Maybe they've..." she started before running towards the stage. When she arrived, Kayla's face was flushed pink from running from one side of the arena, around to the other just to get there in time. The others noticed and wondered if she was okay. The closest to her, Kira, asked, "Are you nervous? You shouldn't be. From us twelve, they've chosen five of us for the team." "I'm not nervous.." Kayla muttered, looking away.

Kira giggled. Kayla turned to her. "What?" "I guess I made you nervous, huh? Sorry about that. I saw your beybattle. I bet you nailed a spot. Your name's Kayla, right?" She nodded. "Well.. I can't say anything more except 'Good luck'," Kira told her, smiling warmly. Kayla paused, then smiled back. [i]She isn't so bad,[/i] she thought, still smiling.

"I'm sure you twelve know why you're up here?" Jazzman called happily. The bladers all nodded, just wanting to know who did or didn't make it.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Ezekiel]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=SlateGray]Beth smiled nervously but tried desperately to hide, wanting to keep her cool exterior. Meanwhile, she was ecstatically happy, she had to be in the final team. [I]Had to be![/I] She looked to her right and smiled at Kane who returned her smile, giving her a nudge and a thumbs up. Beth nodded and looked at Jazzman...who quickly averted his gaze.

[B]"If you look above you, you will each see a light," [/B] everyone looked up to see that they each had a white globe suspended above them, [B]"If your made it into the final team, then your globe will glow the team's colour, Royal Blue."[/B]

Everyone shifted nervously, waiting for the verdict. Beth squeezed her eyes shut and crossed her fingers, hoping inside that she had made the cut.
After a few seconds, she heard a cheer from the crowd and a [I]'Yes!'[/I] from Kane. She looked up to see that both of their globes were glowing a soothing Royal Blue. Beth couldn't help but smile, hugging Kane tightly and laughing with him.

DJ Jazzman smiled and clapped with everyone else, watching as the Blade Breakers, friends and family rushed onto the stage to congratulate the final 5.[/COLOR]

[B]OOC True Blue 4 Life, man[/B].[/SIZE]

[COLOR=Blue][SIZE=1]Kayla held her breath. And sure enough, her globe turned a royal blue color. She literally jumped for joy before being tackled by her younger brothers. "You did it!" they chanted. And then she saw her dad waving from the stands, on his way down to the stage. Kayla broke away from her brothers for a second and tapped Kira on the shoulder.

"Huh?" she said, practically glowing. "You were right." "Oh! Yeah. I guess I was! Great job, Kayla." "You, too Kira," she smiled. Rei leaned over and waved at Kayla, happy to meet a friend of Kira's. She waved back then turned back to her brothers. "You guys owe me ice cream," she laughed. "Aww.." they all moaned. They had forgotten about their bet.

A few moments later, her dad grabbed her from behind and gave her a hug, practically lifting her off the ground. She giggled as he put her down. "Ya did it, kiddo," he smiled, elbowing her. "Ow, dad. Don't do that." "Oh, sorry," he laughed. Her father was a big man. Not over-weight, but big. His beard made him look even more like a mountianeer. "Hey. Where's mom?" "She's still working. She couldn't leave today." "Yeah, but neither could you! You ditched!" called out her youngest brother.

"Shh! Ya wanna get me caught?" he chuckled. "Will the winners please follow me? Sorry, family, unless you're a Blade Breaker, you have to stay out here," Jazzman shouted, standing at the entrance of an "Off-Limits" hallway.

Kayla waved to her dad and brothers as they left back to the stands and followed Kira and the others. She noticed Kai walking behind her. She turned to look at him, still smiling wide from having nailed the spot she knew she had. He gave her an odd look before she turned away. She began smiling even wider.

They entered the hallway and walked around so many twists and turns, Kayla could've sworn they were back at the entrance. "Here we are. The office of your team manager," Jazzman announced professionally, even though he knew he didn't have to. He opened the door and the five members of the new team and the five of the old (including Chief) walked in.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

TJ looked up, confident that his globe, too would turn blue. Sure enough it did. He jumped up and pulled his arm back. He landed and raised a fist to Tyson, and in return Tyson did the same. "I can't belive I made it! This is so awesome!" TJ shouted unable to contain his excitement. He pulled out his Dragoon MS UV. "It's all thanks to you Dragoon." He heard Jazzman say, "Will the winners please follow me? Sorry, family, unless you're a Blade Breaker, you have to stay out here..." He instantly turned and followed.

Once the five winners reached the room TJ was caught off guard by Tyson. "I knew you could do it TJ!" He said putting TJ in a congradulatory headlock.

TJ grinned, "Thanks Tyson..." he said as he slipped out of his headlock and put Tyson into his own. He let go and they both laughed.

"I'm real proud of you TJ...Ya came a long way." Tyson said smiling.

"It's all thanks to you, Chief, and Dragoon...If it weren't for all of you I wouldn't be here." TJ replied. He looked over to Beth who had just come in and walked over. "Congratulations, Beth. You were great out there."

"Thanks...you weren't too bad yourself..." Beth replied simply.

"Heh...lookin forward to training with you in the future..." He said walking back over to Tyson and Kenny.

[COLOR=Navy]Kira kept her usual calm exterior as she stared out at the crowd. She heard some of the others cheering as they saw the royal blue light that they were hoping for, and the groans or crying of those who didn't make the cut.

Kira looked over at Rei, his face didn't reveal anything about the colour of her globe. She looked up and saw the soft royal blue glow, she looked back to Rei and they grinned together.

She heard DJ Jazzman ask them to go into a restricted area, and those that weren't Blade Breakers weren't allowed. Kira walked off the stage and hugged Rei tightly, then Mariah. The guys in the White Tiger X just congratulated her, not wanting to be affectionate. Then Rei and herself left, following the others.

"Nice job, Kira. I knew you'd get through. Nice way to keep your cool." Rei said as they walked.

"Big brother, when am I ever not calm?" she said.

"Seems like you're making friends with the others ok, you and Kayla seem to be getting along." he commented.

"Yeah...she's alright." Kira answered.

They entered the room and the new and the old members were there.[/COLOR]
