Chapter 1: The Meeting

"Before time began, there was the Cube. We know not where it comes from, only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life. That was how our race was born. For a time, we lived in harmony, but like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil. And so began the war - a war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death, and the Cube was lost to the far reaches of space. We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find it and rebuild our home, searching every star, every world. And just when all hope seemed lost, message of a new discovery drew us to an unknown planet called... Earth. But we were already too late.

~Optimus Prime (Transformers 2007)"

Bay City was located a hundred miles from Tokyo and was the epicenter of the beyblade world. Young bladers filled parks and bey stadiums practicing their skills while others went to school for beyblading or regular academics. At a school on the outskirts of Tokyo a red haired girl no older than 18 was walking out of the school gates and towards Bay City. The girl's name is Emily Valkov and she's was the second youngest out of her and her other siblings. It was summer break and she was on her way to meet up with her teammates that she hadn't seen in a long time due to three of them living on a military base with their parents and the fourth living in northern Japan. Emily was counting the money that she had in her wallet since she had been saving it up to buy a vechical which she was going to get before going to the meeting point. As she looked around the dealership she saw a truck sitting near the back in an empty parking lot.

"How much for that Topkick?" Emily asked the sales person as she walked towards the truck.

"$5,000." The sales person replied. "We've been trying to get rid of it for a few months now."

Emily opened the door and climbed into the driver seat. She gripped the steering wheel tightly as she looked at the stuff in the truck.

"I'll take it." Emily said smiling.

"Of course!" The sales person said happy to be getting rid of the Topkick.

Emily signed the papers she needed to sign and payed the sales person. Once she had the keys she went out to the truck,got in it,started it,and headed off towards the meeting point. As Emily approached the meeting point she saw Melody's Jeep,Renee's Suzuki B-King,and Angel's Kawasaki Ninja. She parked her truck next to Melody's Jeep then got out.

"Nice truck Em." Jessica said from where she was sitting in Melody's Jeep.

"Thanks Jess." Emily said as she pulled the tailgate down and sat on it. "Just bought before coming here for $5,000."

"Talk about a lot of money." Renee said as she leaned against the tailgate of the Topkick.

"Yeah but they wanted to get rid of it so I took it." Emily said grinning. "So we going to go to this local team tournament or what?"

"Hell yeah!" They all replied.

Emily got off the tailgate,put it up,and then got in her truck. She had to admit that it felt good being with her team again especially since they haven't been in a tournament together in years. As they approached the bey stadium where the tournament was being held they saw that the parking lot was already packed and then realized that up on the broadcast screen the first match up was already listed. The first match up was going to be between the BladeBreakers and the Blitzkrieg Valkyries. Emily didn't understand why her team was going first but didn't really argue since it had been awhile since they faced the BladeBreakers and knew that it would be a challenge. The match was being broadcasted all around the world and everyone was excited to see the Blitzkrieg Valkyries tear up the bey dish again. As the tournament went on throughout the day Emily and her team continued to wipe the floor with the competition until they were the victors.

"Man that felt good." Melody said grinning.

"The competition sure has changed over the years." Jessica said fixing her gloves. "I had to use all my strength."

"Yeah and maybe next time you won't set the dish on fire." Renee growled slightly before sighing. "I swear ever since you started being a pilot you've become a dang pyro."

"Not my fault I've always had a fascination for fire." Jessica said trying to act innocent.

"That's no excuse sis." Angel said. "Beyblading is different from flying a jet."

Emily shook her head at the way her teammates were acting as they walked back to their vechicals. As they got closer to their vechicals Emily saw someone leaning against the driver side door of her truck and even though it was starting to get dark she could see that the person had spiky red hair and she started getting a sinking feeling in her stomach. Emily heard Renee growl slightly and knew the person leaning against her truck was her older brother Tala. For the past two years Renee and Tala had been fighting and haven't been talking to each other so Emily knew this wasn't going to be good.

"What do you want Tala?" Emily asked as she pulled out her truck keys from her pants pocket.

"What? I can't come congratulate my little sister for her win." Tala said as he pushed off of Emily's truck.

"Bullshit Tala!" Emily snapped already knowing that the others had left. "What are you doing here?! If it has to do with mom and dad forget it. I'm not going to see them."

"It's not about mom and dad." Tala replied calmly as he took a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Emily. "This came for you today in the mail and I decided to bring it to you. I can do things other than stuff for mom and dad you know."

After that Tala walked off and Emily was left alone in the parking lot with her truck holding the piece of paper her brother had handed her. She sighed and unfolded the piece of paper to read it. It was a letter from her adopted older brother Brett Walker saying that he was going to be gone for a few more months due to a new project that had come up and the government needed his help with it. Emily growled and kicked the front bumper of her truck hard. She was tired of being separated from her siblings like she was since it drove her crazy. She kicked the bumper even harder in anger and frustration and what happened next was going to scare her.

"Oww." A voice said causing Emily to jump back.

"What the?" Emily asked looking around her then at her truck when she saw that the headlights were on.

"For a human femme you kick pretty hard." The voice said again as grinding and clicking noises filled the air.

Emily watched in terror and in awe as her truck transformed right in front of her eyes into a giant robot with black armor and kneel down in front on her. She stood there frozen unsure of what to do or say to the robot in front of her.

"W….wh….what are you?" Emily finally managed to ask.

"Geez femme." Ironhide said irritated some. "Don't you know an alien robot when you see one?"

"I do now." Emily replied as she walked towards him. "Do you have a name?"

"Name's Ironhide." Ironhide replied. "I'm the weapons specialist for the Autobots. And from what I heard from over the tv outside of that stadium there you're name is Emily Valkov."

"That's right." Emily said looking around making sure they were alone. "Maybe you should change back. We can talk more on the way to my place."

Ironhide nodded and changed back into his alt. mode and allowed Emily to climb inside. For some reason had a strong sense that he could trust this human femme which is why he transformed after she kicked him. Emily was still in shock from watching Ironhide transform from a truck into a giant robot than back into a truck and hadn't harmed her. There was something about Ironhide that she liked and tried to think of what it was as they drove towards her house.
