Welcome to my newest story! Simply put, most of this story begins in the first season. This chapter is from before the show starts. Plus you won't be given a clear idea of who the mystery character is until the second chapter since they are an OC. So, I won't show the picture of them on the cover image till the second chapter. This is also my first beyblade burst story so please don't be too judgy!
White boots with black heels and laces, black pants with a blue line at both sides. The wearer walked through the forest of Mexico until it came to an ancient Mayan Temple, which was soon revealed to be a high-tech training ground. They were shown in to a darkened room facing a man in a mask with a red line near the eye holes. "Ashtem, this is the best training program in the world, isn't it?" a voice asked. Ashtem nodded, "The very best. But a blader of your level. What would you want to train for?" The voice was quick to reply, "Everything. I don't care what my level or rank is. I'm not good enough." Ashtem smiled sinisterly, "Well, I have just the thing for you." He walked over to a shelf filled with masks, and grabbed one that had dull green eyes, a beaked face and a small opening for their mouth. He set it in front of her, "Once you wear this you will become Jade Eye. The person who cares more about Beyblade than anyone in the world. You will not have distractions from your past, for you will have none. It will be a blank slate, all responsibilities gone until your training is complete. The only thing you will treasure will be your connections to your bey." The figure reaches forward to grab it before they get stopped by Ashtem, "First you must confirm that you really believe you are worthy of being called Jade Eye." The voice sounded angry, "I'll never change my mind! I don't decide on my whims! I decide on the facts." Ashtem smiled, "Well then," he said giving the Jade mask to the figure, "Welcome to the family."
The same character is walking. On her feet there are four weight rings each, as her arms swing down we see she has four on each of her arms and is dragging behind five weights tied to the harness around her waist. Yet, she is walking normally. She slowly walks the distance of the training room, until she reaches a rock wall. A year might have passed or perhaps two. She didn't know, she didn't keep track of stuff like this. She knew that she had tried every piece of equipment at least five times. Except the rock wall, she had never done the rock wall. She unstrapped her harness and with all the weights on her arms and legs, she skillfully scaled up the wall. Sure it took some time testing her grip and making sure she could support the weight. But at least she did it in one go. As she climbed down she turned to see a kid with light brown hair staring at her. He was weighed down by two only one weight but was obviously struggling to practice on the launch simulator, "That was awesome! How did you do that?" he asked, his eyes glittering with literal starshine. Jade Eye gave one curt word, "Training." then walked away. The kid adjusted his poncho, "Come on! Stop with all the vague answers, Fel-" Jade turned her head back, a scowl on her face, "I meant, Jade Eye." the boy quickly amended. Jade Eye fixed him under her gaze. "The first thing you need to work on is to be serious, Boa." The boy stared at her retreating form, "Serious." he muttered, "When has she ever talked about being serious?" "You know she's right. You could be more serious." another voice sounded, Boa turned to look at a teal-haired boy who was standing behind him. "What do you mean Kajuri?" he asked, bemused. The teal haired boy shrugged, "Most of the bladers here worked hard to get in but you just waltzed in, laughing and joking because some high-ranked member vouched for you. If you don't shape up, your benefactor might change their mind." Boa nodded dumbly, as Kajuri patted his back, "Oh, and Boa? I got promoted. My name is now Azure Eye." The boy grinned as he revealed a mask that he had hidden behind his back. Boa stared at him then stammered, "Good to see one of use is excelling, Azure Eye."
The mystery girl stared down at her bey. It was pure white with streaks of blue, red and green. The Layer had two jutting 'wings' or contact points. "Falcon, why don't you speak? You told me to come here, so why are you upset?" As she stares down at it she hears the creak of a door and then looked up to see Silver Eye in front of her. "Ashtem will see you now." he smiled thinly. Jade Eye walked in and stared at Ashtem. "Yes?" he asked impatiently, Jade Eye stared impassively, "I wish to become good." Ashtem stared down, "But you are good." Jade Eye shook her head, "No, not good enough. I need to become good enough." Ashtem looked down, Jade Eye was quickly outpacing all the Equipment and the program didn't have the budget to continue. But he had the one option. The Requiem Project. "You might be interested in obtaining a new bey." he finally said. Jade Eye shook her head, "Falcon is the most precious thing I have. I won't give it up." Ashtem shook his head. "I'm thinking of a New Falcon. We will use the metal and plastic from old Falcon, keep the design as similar as possible but make a few upgrades. Will you do it?" Jade Eye looked down at her bey before nodding, "All Right."
Jade Eye looked around as scientists and Bey-Trainers plugged monitors and things to monitor her heartbeat and brainwaves and what not. She was given a breathing tube to make sure she had oxygen while inside the gel. She closed her eyes and tried to relax as it beeped around her. She fell asleep or something because when she opened her eyes she was in a weird place, completely black and white. She walked through the door, and marched across the desert. Whatever it took she would give it. She needed to make Falcon proud. She stared at him, the kid she had tried so hard to surpass but barely even knew. Green hair, yellow lightning bolt in the center those awful jagged teeth. The glasses, the too short shirt. Her right hand burned as she glared at him. He grinned at her delighted, Jade Eye's eyes shrank into slits. Her white aura wrapped around her. It reached out and spread over the purple and green demon. Jade Eye stared as she realized it was not aura but fire. Actual white-hot flames melted demon who had possessed her. As she watched it melt all she could think of was where this kid was. Had she been able to beat him if she stayed in Spain? Had she surpassed him ages ago and never realized? No time to talk, she walked into the next 'room'. It was a huge nest. As she looked around it, she heard a screech. The next second, she was eye to eye with a giant eye bigger than her head. "Falcon!" Jade Eye stared, "Why don't you talk to me anymore?" The white and black bird backed away, revealing its full glory. Patterned with blue and purple, yellow and green, red and orange. It was beautiful. "You were not powerful yet. Not worthy of me yet." came its reply. "I'll get stronger! I do anything to be worthy!" Jade Eye said. "Then choose!" Falcon roared. Jade Eye found herself crouched behind a rock. She felt lighter, happier. It was night time and candles and scary decorations were everywhere. Last year's Halloween party. Jade Eye thought. She looked down at her feet, a bucket of slush and ice cubes was there. She peeked over the edge, the school's candid photographer was getting Kajuri to pose for a picture. His fur-lined parka was something he routinely carried around but it was extraordinarily hot in it. He still wore it because it reminded him of home. Jade Eye grinned. She couldn't help herself. Seconds before the photographer clicked, she dumped the contents onto Kajuri's head. As she laughed until she hiccuped at Kajuri's incredulous look, she came back to the white and black aura field. "What will it be? Friends or Power? Choose now!" Falcon screeched. Jade Eye shrank back, "You're not the real falcon." she managed. Falcon Requiem laughed, "Of course I am!" Jade Eye stared at him, glaring. "You don't look, act or sound like Falcon. Hell, you aren't even saying stuff Falcon would say!"
Out side the aura field, one of the scientists approached Ashtem, "Sir, the subject's heart rate is increasing. Brain activity has spiked." Ashtem waved his hand, "The project requires the subject to relive memories. It is perfectly normal." the scientist was quick to interject. "Sir, this is not present in the hippocampus. The amygdala is active." Ashtem growled, "Translation?" the scientist gave a concerned look, "The subject's not responding to old memories. She's responding to fear, the brain is panicking and not accepting the new Falcon." Ashtem frowned, "How much of the new bey is complete?" A Bey-Trainer looked up, "The Forge Disc is complete. Nothing else." Another scientist added to the crisis. "Sir! Something's happening to the gel!" Ashtem swung around, "What?" the scientist adjusted his glasses, "Sir, its reacting to the subjects skin. It appears that her aura has taken a physical form!" Ashtem pinched the bridge of his nose, "And what form would that be?" he snapped. The scientist gulped, "Unfortunately, fire, sir." Within seconds, the place was evacuated before the gel built up too much pressure and the canister exploded, which would allow the fire to spread. Jade Eye fell out of the canister and the fire died out around her. Miraculously, she was unharmed. She stood up groggily, her eyes itched, so she closed them. When she opened them back up, she nearly freaked. She was surrounded by multi-colored aura, avatars of all the different beys she had seen. She stared as the avatars closed in on her. She turned around to find Falcon. It looked a lot like its Requiem counterpart. Except there was no black pigment, no multi-coloured helmet. "Stand behind me." It commanded, as Jade Eye obliged. Falcon screeched and clapped its wings. All the avatars instantaneously vanished. Jade Eye turned to Falcon, "What just happened?" Falcon sat in front of her. "The project failed, all that happened was that your aura has been solidified. Now, you can see the world like beys see it. Judging by its aura." Jade Eye smiled, "So I can talk to all beys now? That's awesome!" Falcon gave an amused smile, "You might want to control your enthusiasm. Unless you control your fighting spirit you might burn everything around you." Jade Eye nodded, "Now, how do I get out of this place?" Falcon sighed, "Breathe in, relax. Visualize the real world. Your vision will return to how it always was."
Jade Eye emptied her locker, changing into her old clothes and smashing Jade Eye mask. She stared at the white fabric in her hands then picked up the black spray paint and made a demonic smile with it. She walked back into the lab, looking for the real Falcon. She grinned when she found it in a velvet display case. "I think you should look at what's in that drawer. Something's calling me there." The bey whispered. Jade Eye walked over and opened it to reveal a black Forge Disk with purple, orange and yellow streaks. "Should I keep it?" she asked. "Perhaps. It has power. Not real power, but just enough to remind us what kind of person you are." Jade Eye nodded, "Accepting this project was the worst mistake of my life. I need to make sure nobody else gets caught in this trap." as she stepped outside. The moon was full, the night not close to chilly. Everyone was occupied, perfect time to escape. She walked towards the nearest village. On the way, she noticed a white shadow with wounds. She stared at it, "Ghost." she finally said.
Thank you! Might be a while till the next chapter, I actually did a much longer chapter than usual.
