The Struggle is Real: Beyblade fanfic

Chapter 18: Confrontation

"Finally you're here. I really thought that you chickened out back there." Blue Eye called out. The two were in one of the spare battle arenas, full of many kinds of bey battle grounds. Blue Eye chose the one with the spikes in particular, which turns out to be his favorite. Since he knows his way around it, this should be easy for him to beat Red Eye rather quickly.

Red Eye finally made it to where Blue Eye and Ares are, who were waiting for them. He stood there, looking around. "Shouldn't we get someone to be the referee?" Red Eye asked. Blue Eye shook his head, snapping his fingers. A droid suddenly appeared, arching it's head towards the blader. "Is there anything I can do to help, today?" It asked. Blue Eye nodded his head, "Yes. Be a referee for this Beyblade battle here. Same rules as always." The droid stayed silent for a few seconds. "No...sudden death matches?" It asked slowly. Blue Eye replied with a simple, 'no.'

Blue Eye took two steps back, "You may start when ready." He ordered. Red Eye took a deep breath, snapping Spryzen in place on his launcher. The droid nodded it's head and cleared their throat. "Reaaaaddddyyyyy...and set!" Blue Eye looked at Red Eye's hand while Red Eye looked at Blue Eye himself.

"Three!" Blue Eye jumps high into the air and tilts his body diagonally.

"Two!" Red Eye tilts his launcher sideways, revealing a slightly long cord that is flexible, curving it into a circular shape.

"One!" Blue Eye starts spinning fast while Red Eye gets ready for his circular launch.

Blue Eye slows down a bit and arches his arms backwards as if his launcher was a sword or an axe. "LET IT..." he starts to roar out.

Red Eye finishes, "RIP!"

Blue Eye swings his arms forward, releasing his deadly launch at the same time Red Eye releases his. "Ares...perform, Sword of Death." Blue Eye whispered. The spirit of Ares, in his  normal form, smirked. Changing the lower part of his bey form into that of a sword. He lifted up a finger and moved it down. Watching as his bey form aims directly for Spryzen.

To Red Eye's shock, Ares pierces Spryzen and tilts a bit to the right, causing the red bey to burst. Pieces flying all over their battle ground before falling and landing in the middle. Blue Eye pouts, "Ares, you were supposed to do the Sword of Death, not the Sword of Akasha. You're not giving off fun vibes..." He holds his hand out and Ares flies right into his hand. Red Eye couldn't believe the words he was hearing from Blue Eye. They sounded so...heartless.

"Burst finish, Blue Eye wins this round!"

Blue Eye yawned and stretched a bit, "Well...there is another round. I need three to win, right droid?" The droid stayed silent but nodded it's head, "It's just like any other battle sir." Blue Eye hummed in understanding, getting himself ready for the next round and making sure Ares goes back to normal. Red Eye fixes Spryzen, tapping on his beyblade. "Are you alright, buddy?" He whispered. Suddenly, he felt little vibrations...no, more like trembles, coming from Spryzen.

"Shu...he hates me. Ares hates me...whether Blue Eye wants it or not, I will surely die by Ares' hands." Spryzen says, fearful. Shu sighed, this must be really hard on Spryzen. It seems like him and Ares have some sort of history together. Before Shu's mind could wander further, the droid announced the second round is going to begin. Bringing Shu back to reality. Both bladers shouted out the countdown again at the same time, "3..2..1, let it RIP!" Blue Eye used his same launching move, expecting better results.

But to his surprised, Spryzen managed to avoid it. Blue Eye looked at the scene in silent shock. But he didn't say anything about it. Spryzen moved back a bit before moving forward fast, sending brutal hits towards Ares' way. "That's it, Spryzen! Drive him towards the spikes!" Shu yelled out. Blue Eye looked at the scene with boredom, checking his nails. "Ares, do the double helix." He said simply. Ares jumped and tilted slightly sideways, with the sharp tip facing his opponent. He started to spin fast, "You're DEAD now!" Ares screamed out with a maniacal smile on his face.
