Chapter 45: Final Round Part 1

Chapter 45: Final Round Part 1

Everyone waited in anticipation for the start of the final battle of the qualifiers. Team Warmaster was waiting near their pods for Yolanda with their reserve member. Compared to Mark and Bart he was slightly shorter in stature. Rick took out his base reader with a smile on his face, “Got to get ready, in case Yolanda doesn’t show up.” “Put that thing away. I’m already here.” Yolanda’s voice caught the attention of Bart and Mark. Disappointedly, Rick puts away his base reader, “Awww. I really thought I’d get the chance to fight this time.”

Bart approaches Yolanda, who avoids looking at Bart, “I’m sorry about earlier.” Bart perked his ears, “What was that? Can you say it again?” Yolanda became irritated, “I’m sorry about earlier, okay. I shouldn’t have mocked JoJo for losing. I won’t look down on my opponents again. I’m not going to give up and I’m going to give it my all.” Bart nodded in approval of Yolanda’s repentance and conviction. Mark also smiles in approval, “Good. Now, let’s win this and head to Nationals.” Both Yolanda and Bart answered, “Alright!”

Anna, Justin, Vincent, and Frank were all huddled together. Anna began giving her pep talk, “Alright guys, if we win this match, then we will be taking our first steps to nationals.” Justin adds, “We’ll win. We’ll definitely win. I’m going to keep my promise and face them again, and stand up for myself.” Frank chimes in, “We’ll make it. It’s my last chance to stand on that stage. And I want to make sure I get there.” Anna smiles, “I want to make sure Frank achieves his dream along with the team. We’ll get to that stage and face those so-called monsters and show them what we’re made of.”

Vincent was pumped, “I’m just excited. If we in this, then we’ll be able to go to state, then nationals. I just can’t wait to face all of these strong pilots. I’ll probably have amazing and incredible battles with them. I especially want to face off against these so-called monsters. I’m burning up inside. I want to go there.” Frank gave a snarky comment to Vincent, “Maybe you should get that looked at.” Everyone laughed at Franks's attempt to relieve the tension. Anna then continues, “Let’s win this, and win the next one. Let’s go to nationals. Silver Vanguard,” they all spoke in unison, “GO!”

The tournament announcer then made the announcement, “We will now begin the final round of the Massey City Qualifiers.” The team information was displayed on the screens as the six pilots entered their cockpits. The mechanical spoke, “WARFRAME Battle, combat mode, startup. Damage levels set to B. Please set your base readers.” Each pilot placed their respective base readers on the console and the pilot and frame information was displayed. The mechanical voice then continued, “Begin display. Field Selected: Space.” The screen displayed to the audience and the players a field of black emptiness over a sea of stars. In the distance, were the ruins of a destroyed space colony. Seeing the field, Mister Myers comments, “The destroyed remains of the space colony, Shambala. How will they fight here?” Maya silently watches the battle, “You can win this Vincent. I believe in you.”

In the long tunnel, the mechanical voice spoke, “Battle start!” All of the frames' eyes glowed as their knees bent and buckle after their eyes lit up, “Anna Fischer, Rosenkavalier Photonenblume,” “Justin Walker, Mantaraia Vortex,” “Vincent Porter, Jakqoo V” “Silver Vanguard, Launch!” The three of them said in unison. Sparks were created as the catapults pushed the three frames out of the tunnel after the lights had turned blue. Alex’s friend stood on a balcony and watched the fight, “This is the final round for the qualifiers. “So, Horseman, will we be seeing your team at our level?”

Watching the screen, Mister Myers crossed his arms, “Space colony Shambala. Only two strategies can be used on this field. They could either fight inside the vicinity of the destroyed colony or fight outside it. How will the three of you decide?” Inside their cockpits, Justin communicated with Anna and Vincent, “Anna, Vincent, I’ll take the detour and travel the outside of the colony since my frame has the fastest flight speed. Hopefully, while you two keep them occupied, I’ll be able to ambush them from behind.”

Anna nods at the plan, “Alright, we’ll go with your strategy, Justin. I’ll take Vincent with me and we’ll keep them preoccupied inside the colony while you circle around and attack them from behind.” Vincent smirks, "Don’t get taken out before you reach us. I’m sure the other guys have a similar plan.” Justin snorted, “If they do have a similar plan, then I’ll just fight outside. Then you two will have to take care of yourselves while I deal with my opponent.” The group separated into two teams with Anna and Vincent headed for the inside of the destroyed space colony while Justin moved along the exterior.

Justin was flying along the exterior of the space colony when his radar detected signs of an enemy frame approaching, “What do you know, Vincent was right. From this speed, it should be the Sky Raider.” Justin zoomed in with his camera and what he saw surprised him, “It’s not the Sky Raider. It’s Mark’s Leomightas!?” Inside his cockpit, Mark snorted, “As expected, the fastest guy is acting as the scout.” Seeing the Leomightas, Justin messaged Anna, “Only the Leomightas is here. As much as I hate to admit it, Vincent was right.” Vincent interrupts, “Pardon me, but what did you just say?” Justin grumbled, “You were right.” Vincent laughs but Anna interrupted, “Alright, you two, that’s enough. You two should fight Warmaster before you can fight each other. So, Justin, you were saying.” Justin then continues, “Right, Most likely, you two have to face Sky Raider and Nike. Break a leg.”

Just as Anna and Vincent were flying through the interior of the destroyed space colony, they both received an alert of an incoming attack. Through the screens, they could see several missiles flying in their direction. Jakqoo V and Rosenkavalier, did their best to avoid the missiles. “An Attack!?” said Vincent. Anna comments as she wills her Rosenkavalier to dodge the missiles, “This early? But we just entered the colony. They must’ve gotten here before us.” Explosions formed in the background as they look ahead and spotted two frames. One was an Angel-type frame, while the other was a bird-like Savage-type frame.

Seeing the two frames, Anna was surprised, “The Sky Raider. So that’s how they did it. The Nike was riding the Sky Raider.” Seeing the two frames, Vincent raised his mega launcher, “Bart, Eat this!” Jakqoo V pulls the trigger and fires his rockets. Bart smirks and the Sky Raider launches its missiles the clash resulted in a large explosion. Taking the opportunity, the Nike separated from the Sky Raider. The Jakqoo V flies through the smoke caused by the explosion and appears before the Sky Raider with both of his beam hawk axes. Using the Sky Raider’s feet and talons, Bart grabs the Jakqoo V’s arm and pulls it behind its back while holding the other arm in a tight grip away from the body. “I told you didn’t I? That move isn’t going to work on me.”
