"You just got Khensu. I've had Fenrir for almost seven years now." Esther snickers, and then sighs, "Zeke looked at you like you were...competition in this house at first. But now he looks up to you as someone who is willing to blade against him, as most refuse since he is sick. I'm the only other one who has battled him. It would be great if you could try to fit in a battle with him whenever possible. If that's too much to ask, then I apologize."
"Sure i will ...well after the preliminaries i will anytime.. maybe if he feels up to it he can participate also.. two of you qualifying will mean more money for your house" he says
Esther shakes her head. "Zeke has to get a release form to show the tournament's officials in order to participate. His condition hasn't been too bad lately, but they don't want him to stress himself. I can't ask Zeke for that. Not when his life is on the line."
Zeke had been listening, and he frowns. He closes his eyes and sighs before going outside and launching Eosphorus. His beyblade goes flying and tears clean through the thick tree. When the beyblade lands, the tree snaps in half. Zeke's body shakes as he cups his hand over his mouth and coughs. Eosphorus flashes yellow as he drops to his knees.
"Oh im sorry.. well i will get going go take care of Zeke im sure he needs your support" he says standing up and walking to the door
A man appears before Zeke..."hmm tired of being.. sick.. i can help you" he says handing him a card....."tell no one" he says as the card had Dr. Zigurat's contact information on it
Esther walks with El to the door, and smiles. "Thanks again for helping." She then gives him a quick peck on the cheek.
Zeke takes the card and looks at it. When he looks back up, the man is gone. Zeke holds his hand down to the grass and Eosphorus carefully spins onto his palm. He gets to his feet, still coughing. When he pulls his hand away from his mouth, he frowns to see small splotches of blood. Zeke then looks over the card again.
El smiles as he leaves and goes home to get some rest
(Next day)
El gets up and gets dressed... he puts on black jeans and black sneakers and a white jacket with two black strips on it..."Ok time to head to the city" he thinks as he grabs khensu and his launcher and leaves
Esther gets out of bed and takes care of her family first, and then calls someone to watch over the kids while she is out. Usually, no one would. But Esther had to go, so they decided to give in this time for her. With a smile on her face, Esther grabs Fenrir and the launcher before leaving.
Calder was in the city, staring up at the sky and spacing out.
Zeke was in his room, staring at the card. After telling himself no over a dozen times, Zeke grabs his phone, and dials the number.
Dr Zigurat answers..."i was waiting on you to call.. come by my compound during the preliminaries i have a treatment that may help cure you" he says.. he looks at kaiser..."we may have found someone who can handle the arrangement like you have kaiser...Since Damian and the others have failed me" he says
"Alright. I-I'll be there." Zeke says, almost under his breath.
Kaiser was hanging upside down, and he looks at the doctor. In a sarcastic tone he states, "Woo. Sounds like a fun time." And then he laughs before flipping down from the ceiling.
El meets up with Esther in the city.. he smiles upon seeing her
Referee "ARE YOU READY....FOR THIS BEYBLADE PRELIMINARIES TO GET UNDERWAY" he screams as all the bladers gather and a timer at the top of the largest building in the city reads 06:00:00 and slowly begins to count down....
(Referee) "BEGIN" he calls out
Everyone splits up and scours the city but Esther and El stay close together....
05:23:00
(El) "Its been almost 40 minutes.. no enforcers yet...we have to hurry" he says
Kai watches from overhead... "Hmm lets see what they can do" he says
Tyson walks up next to him.."Still sulking from up top I see" he says
(Kai) "Yea well if she can't beat at least two opponents in a row then there is no point in dranzer battling her" he says
(Tyson) "I guess ... wheres that sleeping kid you told me about" he says looking around
(Kai) "The one that trains all the time... i could tell from looking at his hands... no point in you battling him.. no matter how hard he trains a fatigued opponent can't perform to their full potential" he says
(Tyson) "Really aww.. i was looking forward to that match and against that umm...Junazard kid i have been heard about to" he says
Kai points El out...."he doesn't have the same Bey he once had.. he is not at the level he once was besides Rei already had dibs on him" he says
Tyson pouts.."AWWW MAN... i guess i will keep an eye out for strong opponents" he says leaving as Kai continues to watch
El spots someone...a enforcer winning a match...
(Hyouma) "It my win" he says
El's eyes widen up..."its Hyouma.. he was a semi-finalist for team Gan Gan Galaxy" he says
He looks at Esther.."well im gonna go and beat my first enforcer" he says smiling at her.
El runs to the stadium... and readies his bey
(Hyouma) "Ha another challenger ... make this a good one give it all you got" he says
El launches Khensu.."DON'T WORRY I WILL" he says
(Hyouma) "Ha do it Aries" he says letting the bey go as he makes the first move striking Khensu.. and khensu handles the attack well and attacks back but Aries doesn't move.
"Ha Aries is a stamina type.. a average attack won't do much to him" he says slamming into khensu as it flies back to the edge of the stadium.
(El) "Its ok .. come on khensu.. lets try an old favorite" he says moving in a zig zag pattern.. like he use to do with his flame wing Pegasus ...
Hyouma is very smart.. Aries dodges the attack at the last second.. and circles around Khensu and Drills into it forcing it back...
(El) "What.. how" he says "Good tactic but your bey's speed is not greater then Aries....sorry for this good try tho...ARIES HORN THROW DESTRUCTION" he says
The ram Spirit comes out as Aries dips low and rockets Khensu into the air...Hyouma smiles.
Mars is watching..."Lets see if he came up with his own move or else he is in a world of trouble" he says
El takes a deep breath as the sunlight shines on the bey as it comes down as it shift and the Sun Tiger can be see headed for the ram.
(Hyouma) "What is that the same Bey" he asks
(El) "Yea it is it's Khensu's Sun spirit ...ORION" he says with a yellow flash behind him as it comes down .. and almost hits Aries .. but Hyouma comes to his senses.."Aries Dodge" he says as Orion leaves a crater... and speeds up and attacks Aries...the Tiger is seen roaring as it strikes Aries sending it back...Aries is stumbling but when it regains its balance Orion strikes again and again.
(El) "Great job Orion.. lets finish this" he says as it circles the stadium then strikes Aries sending it to the edge of the stadium.
(Hyouma) "Wow so not only its attack rose but its speed..its almost on par with Jinka and Galaxy Pegasus" he thought...
Orion starts going around in a small circle building up speed and momentum and it ignites.. as it bursts forward and with incredible speed it strikes Aries causing a explosion and a bey is seen rocketing out the stadium... and El is smiling because with all that power it had to be Aries.. but when the smoke clears it is Khensu that is embedded into the wall and not spinning.
El is stunned... "how..." he thinks
Hyouma looks at him.."you fell victim to Aries special move..Windstorm.. it shifts your bey's position when its close enough.. it has a joint on its spin track that latches onto yours and shifts you around it." he says
"i see" El says going to pick up Khensu
(Hyouma) "May i ask one thing.. why didn't you use your special move.. you had Aries on the ropes your special move could have sealed the deal..." he says
(El)" Khensu..well Orion at least did not reveal it to me" he says
Hyouma starts laughing.."hahaha..." he says holding his sides. "im glad you find it funny" he says
(Hyouma) "sorry its just that the bey doesn't reveal its special move to you.. as its partner and friend you have to draw it out.. as special moves solidify your bond with your bey.. its the bey achieving a boost in power to help you succeed" he says
El looks at khensu..(Hyouma) "Listen and trust your bey.. im sure your almost there" he says walking away
Esther walks up to El, and places a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, you did great." She smiles, and then calls out to Hyouma. "Hey! Mind if I give it a go?"
Calder had run into Yuu, who was jumping around. Calder just looks at him, scratches the back of his head, and then yawns. "Sure. Sure. Let's battle then. I thought I was supposed to challenge you...not the other way around."
"Hah! No way!" Yuu laughs, pointing at Calder - who just sighs and slouches.
Zeke goes to the building that he had directions to from the card, and knocks on the door.
Hyouma looks at her.."Sure why not" he says readying Rock Aries
Zeke is brought to a room with a machine ...(Dr) "get into the machine Zeke this treatment will have to be done multiple times but lets see how it goes for you" dr zigurat says
"Fenrir, you know what to do." Esther says, completely calm. Fenrir regains balance while in the air, and then lands but bounces slightly. It makes an arch shape as it strikes Aries from the side, pushing the beyblade back and into the ground.
"Thanks, so are you." Esther laughs as Fenrir remains where he is. "Special Move! Full Moon Massacre!"
Suddenly, the entire area becomes pitch black with the full moon hanging close overhead. Aries glows, but Fenrir is nowhere to be seen. A rabid snarling is heard each time Aries gets hit.
Kaiser walks into the room as Zeke starts screaming. The ten year old kid points and laughs at Zeke, finding his pain amusing.
Calder and Yuu have been at it for a while now.
"Come on! I know you're holding back on me!" Yuu shouts at Calder, who looks at him in question.
"Good move.. amazing" he says.. thinking..."Aries wait for it.. wait for it...NOW WINDSTORM" he commands at the moment Aries is hit it shifts Fenrir's position and drills into Fenrir...The ram is seen slamming fenrir into the ground.
The machine stops..."hmm seems like you can only handle about 45 percent of the arrangement.. how do you feel" he says
Mars is battle his second enforcer..."Your good but your no match for ..my dark leone...Lion Gale force.wall" he says as it creates a windstorm swallowing up the opponents bey
"Fenrir, this doesn't look right...does it? The ram beating down the wolf. Quite the role reversal. I like it." Esther laughs, tilting her head slightly. A howl is heard as Fenrir throws its head back. Suddenly, a massive blast comes from Fenrir, and Aries' spirit is seen getting toppled onto its side.
"I actually...feel a bit better." Zeke says, trembling slightly. He then asks, "What's this arrangement you keep talking about?"
"Come on!" Yuu shouts.
"I can't." Calder frowns. "I just end up hurting everyone else."
Calder closes his eyes, listening to Libra smash into Siren repeatedly. He listens to Siren, and takes a deep breath before opening his eyes.
"Well then I'm finishing this!" Yuu shouts. But before he could say any more, Siren had slammed into Libra and knocked it back.
"No. I am." Calder smiles, and Yuu returns a grin.
"Alright Fenrir, let's try it out full force! Special Move! HOWLING BUSTER!" Esther shouts, and just as Aries got close the spirits are seen, and Fenrir howls straight at the ram, sending it flying back.
"Alright thanks." Zeke gives a gentle smile before running off.
"He didn't seem strong at all. I only had to go through one treatment." Kaiser frowns and kicks at the ground, his hands in his sweater pockets.
"Great!" Esther beams as she rushes over and shakes Hyouma's hand. "You were an excellent challenge. Thank you!"
She then walks over to El. "Alright, let's find you someone."
Siren and Libra collide once more, and a high pitched screech comes from Siren.
"Ahhh what is that?" Yuu complains, taking a step back.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Calder laughs. "Finish this! Fatal Encounter!"
