Ok, this is my first Beyblade fic, so be kind.  ^_~

Disclaimer: As sad as this may be to know, I do not own Beyblade or any of the characters involved.

It was a beautiful Sunday morning, the sun glistened off the clear water in the river, and the wind whistled through the trees in the forest.  The usually busy streets of Tyson's hometown were empty and everyone was enjoying the day by relaxing or taking a walk in the park.  It was generally a quiet serene place to be.  The sound of a Bey-Battle broke the peaceful scene.

"Argh, Come on Dragoon!" Tyson screamed at his blade, which was having trouble breaking through Max's defence

"Keep it up Dracial!" Max was feeling quite pleased with his soon-to-be victory over his buddy.

"Wow, look at them go."

"Yeah great job on the upgrade Chief."  Rei and Hilary said as they watched the match intently.

Kai leaned against a wooden post in the corner whilst observing the match quietly.  He sighed

"Why me?" He asked under his breath as he watched Max's happy dance.

"Boo Yah!!! I won. It's my birthday, it's my birthday!" Max sang as he danced happily round Tyson

"Yeah, well I let you win." Tyson said before he and Max both, for some bizarre reason, burst out laughing.

"Good match guys." Rei smiled at his two teammates, who were now dancing round in a circle.

"Ok, if you're done celebrating, it's Rei and Kai's turn." Said Kenny as he sat back down at his laptop.

Kai and Rei walked up to the arena and prepared their blades.

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

"Let it rip!!!" Just as Max had finished saying this, two other blades joined them.  The Bladebreakers all turned their heads in the direction the blades came from, standing on the top of the hill were none other then the Saint Shields.  Kai and Rei instantly called their blades back.

"Not you guys again!" Groaned Kenny as he despaired over the day of training about to be lost.

Tyson ran forward, clenching his fists

"Ozuma! Come here and fight me!"

"Ok Tyson, that is, of course, if you don't mind losing Dragoon."  They both launched their blades and the battle began.

Ozuma's Flash Leopard darted around in an attempt to throw Tyson off, but Dragoon kept on the blade and soon they were battling it out face to face.

"Go Dragoon!"

"Go Flash Leopard, TAKE HIM DOWN!"

Just as it seemed that Ozuma would lose, Dunga, Joseph and Mariam launched their blades and joined the battle.

"Hey no fair!" Screamed Tyson, whose blade was now getting pummelled, quickly Rei, Kai and Max followed suit and launched their blades as well.

Soon the match turned into an all out war with neither team gaining ground at all.  But the Saint Shields hadn't given up yet; they had one more trick up their sleeves.  Ozuma's Flash leopard smashed into Dunga's Vortex Ape, sending it flying through the air, the blade soon hit a tree and bounced back with incredible speed.  Max was so glued to what Dracial was doing that he didn't notice the sharp edged blade flying towards him, Rei tried to push Max back but he wasn't fast enough as the blade managed to make a deep slash in Max's fore-arm, the blade had too much velocity to stop though.  The blade caught Rei, who didn't have time to stop the blade from making a just as deep slash on his chest.  They both screamed out in pain and sunk to their knees.  Dunga smiled slightly before calling back his blade.

"Come guys, I think the Bladebreakers have had enough for one day." The Saints Shields retrieved their blades and walked off.

"You ok buddy?" Tyson asked Max, who was trying to stifle tears.

"I think so..." Max attempted to get up only to fall to the ground in pain again.  Tyson suddenly remembered something his Grampa had done when he fell over when he was 5; he ripped off part of the bottom of his shirt and tied it around Max's arm as a make shift bandage.  Kai did the same to Rei, then they helped their injured friends up and walked back to Tyson's house as fast as they could.
