"Hold your ground Sagittario!" I called to my bey as the opponent's Eagle attacked it again and again.
"Maybe it's time for something else," my opponent, a man by the name of Tobias, said, "Hit him from above Eagle."
The bey ramped up the edge of the stadium and flew into position. When it was right above mine I yelled, "Special move! Flare Twister!"
A ring of fire formed around my bey and became a tornado of fire. When Eagle fell into the move it was sent flying. It landed, steaming, beside Tobias.
"And the winner of the semi-finals of the Infinity Tournament is Archer!" the announcer called out as my bey returned to my gloved hand, "Now it is time for the final battle. Archer against Raymond!"
My new opponent walked throught the tunnel leading to the stadium. He wore a sleeveless shirt and black jeans. His beyblade was Phantom Wolf. The fact that both of our beys had a bearing drive performance tip would make winning difficult, but not impossible.
"And let me remind the two bladers who have made it to the finals what they are fighting for. The chance to design a brand new bey."
I knew that creating a bey would be the ultimate accomplishment for a blader. And I had a bone to pick with Raymond. The last time we fought he stepped on my bey, luckily not beaking it.
"Hello Archer," Raymond said casually, "Long time no see."
"Just pick up your bey and launch," I snapped.
"Wow," the announcer said in fake amazement, "the trash talk is already starting. Well I'm not one to keep two bladers from battling. So lets do this.
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
"Let it rip!
We launched our beys and I noticed something wrong immediatly. His bey was moving in the opposite direction it was supposed too.
"What bey are you using?" I asked.
"Meteo L-Drago," he replied with a smirk.
"Raymond, you know L-Dragos are forbidden in WBBA tournaments," the announcer called, "For that and switching your beys you are disqual-"
I held up my hand, "Don't disquallify him. I will fight him and prove I can beat him."
"Uh, fine. Battle on!"
Because L-Drago can steal spin power, the whole series was illegal in official matches. But I was going to end this with one blow.
"Time to fly Sagittario!" I called. I made my bey fly up the side of the stadium and over it. I had Sagittario flip and yelled, "Special move! Sagittario Reverse Flare!"
A tornado of flames rained from the sky over the stadium. I had Sagittario flip back over and began to speed around the stadium. When the smoke and fire died down, L-Drago was completely unharmed.
"How in the world is that bey still spinning?" I said, amazed, "It should have been roasted."
"It's going to take more than a little fire to harm us," Raymond replied as he smirked, "L-Drago!"
Our beys clashed and sparks began to fly. It took me two minutes before I figured that there would be no way to win. Whenever we came in contact he would absorb my strength and I would regain it. I did have one idea, but it was risky and unperfected. I removed my jacket and tied it around my waist. It was about to get hot in here.
"Retreat Sagittario!" I commanded.
"Giving up?" Raymond said in a mocking tone.
"Nope. Just this," Sagittario ignited and began to speed around the stadium, "Move as fast as you can!"
Sagittario began to move faster and faster, until the rim of the stadium was a ring of fire. When I felt enough momentum was gained, I sent it towards L-Drago.
"Special move! Nova Burst!"
As Sagittario moved towards the center the ring went too. Seconds before contact, L-Drago glowed and Raymond yelled, "Chaos Dragon Bite!"
When our beys hit each other, there was a large flash of light and I passed out.
------------------------------------------
When I came to I was lieing on grass. I looked over and saw my bey spinning a foot from my head.
I smiled and said, "Good Sagittario," before falling unconcious.
