Chapter 6: The Path of Flames
The heat of the midday sun bore down on the abandoned quarry, where jagged rocks surrounded a makeshift Beyblade arena. Kai and Taro stood ready, their launchers poised. The wind howled, carrying dust and anticipation through the air. This wasn't just another battle—it was a crucible, a place to forge the ultimate finishing move.
Kai's thoughts burned as fiercely as his spirit. He had control. He had speed. But he needed a final strike that would define Inferno Draconix's power.
Taro grinned. "You sure you want to do this here? The wind might mess up your launch!"
Kai smirked. "The wind won't stop me. I need the challenge. Let's do this."
They raised their launchers, eyes locked in unspoken understanding.
"Three… two… one… Let it rip!"
Inferno Draconix blazed into the ring with explosive energy, flames trailing like a comet. Turbo Lynx zipped across the stadium, dancing on the wind with unpredictable movements.
"Lynx, Shadow Sprint!" Taro commanded.
Lynx twisted and turned, zigzagging around Draconix's fiery path. The green Bey was a blur of speed, impossible to pin down.
Kai focused, his heart pounding. "Draconix, Flame Spiral!"
The flames around Draconix swirled into a vortex, creating a fiery wall of heat. The ground beneath it cracked from the intense pressure. Lynx skirted the edge, narrowly avoiding the firestorm as sparks erupted in its wake.
Taro's eyes widened. "Whoa! That's a serious upgrade!"
But Kai wasn't satisfied. The vortex wasn't enough. He needed more. He needed a finisher.
He gritted his teeth. "Draconix, Blazing Thrust!"
The flames around Draconix surged outward as it charged straight toward Turbo Lynx. Sparks flew as the two Beys clashed, their metal wheels grinding in a storm of fire and fury.
Lynx was thrown back, but it kept spinning.
Taro grinned. "You've got power, but Lynx can keep going all day!"
Kai's mind raced. The battle wasn't over, and his stamina was fading fast. The fire was burning too brightly. He needed a single, devastating move to end it.
Suddenly, an idea sparked.
"Draconix, Inferno Burst!"
The flames around Draconix condensed, drawing inward until they formed a concentrated, white-hot core. The Beyblade glowed like a miniature sun, its heat warping the air.
Taro's jaw dropped. "What—?"
"Now, release!"
With a roar of energy, the flames exploded outward in a spiraling burst of destructive force. The heatwave swept through the stadium, sending rocks flying and creating a trail of molten sparks.
Turbo Lynx was caught in the blast. It was hurled into the air, spinning wildly before crashing to the ground outside the ring.
The arena fell silent. The dust settled. Inferno Draconix slowed to a stop, still smoldering.
Kai breathed heavily, clutching his launcher. His heart raced with exhilaration.
Taro picked up his defeated Beyblade, shaking his head in amazement. "That… was insane. What did you just do?"
Kai smiled, holding Draconix high. "Inferno Burst. It's the final move—pure firepower unleashed. No defense, no escape. Just total destruction."
Taro whistled. "Hiro won't know what hit him."
Kai's eyes burned with renewed determination. "Next time I face him, I'll be ready. No more holding back. Inferno Draconix and I will turn his shadow to ashes."
