//------------------------------// // 4. Take A Chance! Judgement Joker! // Story: Dazzling Bladers // by Joshua the Dragonslayer //------------------------------// 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!
