Disclaimer:I don't own Beyblade, only my oc's and the plot line.
Author's note: This is a repost, an edited version. The original idea was indeed one that I like, and I'm going to try and get back to that one, since this little bugger of a story seemed to get waaaay out of the original path it was meant to follow.
Gone
Chapter One
Distant Storm

It had been a year since their disappearance. Who? The bladebreakers. Yes, Tyson Granger, Max Tate, Ray Kon, Kai Hiwitari, Kenny, and the ever energetic Daichi had been taken. Where? If people knew that, they wouldn't still be missing, now would they?
That day...so many things had changed.
Hilary cringed. She never thought she'd be a part of it again. Not for this purpose. But that night, when she had returned home from the police station, trying to figure out who hated the boys that much, Zoe "The Silent Soldier" Calinez, and coach of Hilary's first team, was sitting in her livingroom with her mother. That was just the beginning.
Now, she was a member of a team, with numerous members. There was herself, Meriam of the Saint Shields, Meriah of White Tiger X, Emily of the PPB All-Starz, and Zoe, their coach and previous Biovolt Soldier. The Blitzkrieg Boys were around for training occasionally, and made formidable opponents, who always gave them a challenge. Except Zoe. Zoe could take on all of the Blitzkrieg Boys, beat them and be ready for another battle. But that made sense. The only one capable of beating her to date was Kai. And that was years ago.
"Push it!" Zoe Calinez yelled to her teammates Meriah and Hilary. When they were training, or with friends, 'the Silent Soldier' was anything but silent. She had slammed an attack at the two of them. "Meriah's doing it right. Hilary! Cross your arms!"
"Okay!" The twosome made their way back to the edge of the dish, only to watch their blades stop spinning.
"Damn!"
"I thought we had it this time."
"I did too." All heads turned to see Mr. Dickenson standing behind them. "You girls are improving. Definitely."
"Any news?" This time, Emily was the one to ask.
"No. Not yet." Everyone looked to the ground.
Zoe then turned away from the group. "This is so stupid. I don't usually get mad, but I'm really pissed. I know who is to blame for all this."
"Who?"
"Voltaire. I just know it."
"How?" Hilary looked at her coach. "How could you know?"
"Look at this." The girl pulled something out of her pocket. The entire group nearly dropped dead.
"Why didn't you tell the police you had Dranzer?" Mr Dickenson said, showing a rare case of anger.
"They'd take him. How fair would that be? Would it make sense to have the police keep the beyblade?"
"Well, there are two sides of this" Emily started.
"No. There's only one logical side. You can't cage a phoenix."
"That's all sweet and everything, Zoe," Mr Dickenson said, "but Dranzer barely listened to Tyson." Hilary cringed.
"He listens to me."
"What?" The old man and the girls looked upon the punk rocker brunette.
"You heard me."
"But how?" Hilary questioned.
"Yeah, it doesn't seem possible." Meriam said, making her appearance known.
"When you've saved his master from certain death, take a beating for him, and get rid of black dranzer for the time being, you can control the real thing." The girl's two ponytails spiked above her head, and had a few black streaks running through each ponytail. The girl then attached the beyblade to the launcher and allowed it to enter the dish.
She swallowed and drew her hand into the air. "Dranzer! Come out!" The bird exited the blade and shrieked out of loneliness and anger. The rest of the people took a step back, fearing the now thrashing bird. Zoe, however, seemed to be the fearless one. She approached the bird. "I know you miss Kai. I know that." The bird turned to look at her. It lowered its head and let it brush against her hand.
"I don't believe my eyes."
"Oh God, I do believe I've seen it all."
"Zoe, why do you think it's Voltaire?" Mr. Dickenson asked.
"Have we heard anything about him lately? No. And he's the only one who would take everything except Dranzer. Which by the way, I found it at the crime scene, if you wanna call it that." She rolled her eyes. "What are you going to do about our favorite tournament coming up?"
"I get to choose two teams. Them and another one. Everyone who has decent teams can go with either one or two. Since the BBA is so big, I have to do two. I know who the first team is. And then them."
"Mr. Dickenson, G Revolutions isn't here anymore. They've been kidnapped. They're gone." Emily said.
"I'll just pick the runner ups behind my second choice."
"No. You get two teams. One main team and another 'b' team. Keep your 'b' team, put us in, in the guys' place."
Everyone looked at Zoe, who had refused to be in a tournament since proclaimed world champion at the age of twelve.
"You want to compete?"
"Yeah. Whoever kidnaped them will surface. We both know that. So I'm going to compete. And find Kai."
"I think she just mentioned her priorities in reverse order," Hilary elbowed Emily in the ribs.
"Hilary, I heard that."
When both Hilary and Zoe entered the Hilary's house, Zoe went straight up to her room.
It's time. I've got to find him.
When I defeated black dranzer, I took on a special code, an order. Tala knows. He knows what I feel.
I have to find them...Kai. I can feel him now, now that he needs me. That time Brooklyn defeated him, I knew he'd be alright. But I still went to see Tala. This time, though, it's different. He's hurting...more than usual.
And what really scares me is this...I feel the exact same way he does. Just...just-
Just like before.
I know I'm not normal. I've known that for all of my life. It's about time that I show them what isn't normal about me.
I've got to find him.
There's just no other way.
Zoe came down, just in time for dinner. It was just the three of them. Hilary, Zoe and her mother.
"Hilary, I've got a name for the team."
"Well, tell us what it is!"
"Revolutions. Glorious Revolutions."
