Hard Past
Chapter 1: Mysterious Blader
It has been almost five years since Kiri defeated Veronika in Rome, Italy. The teams have not seen each other that much. With the members getting older, it seemed like they were drifting apart. The Bladebreaker team, however, were determined to stay in contact with each other, especially Kai and Kiri. At the moment, they were having a fun beybattle.
"Dranzer!" said Kai and the phoenix came out with a loud shriek.
"Drazier!" said Kiri and the sphinx came out of her beyblade.
The bit-beasts attacked and defended continuously.
"You will never defeat my Dranzer." said Kai.
"I have before and I will again. Go, Lava Ray!" Kiri said.
The Lava Ray rapidly shot at Dranzer, but he wasn't going down.
"Fire Tornado!" said Kai.
The hottest attack in Kai's arsenal reached its peak, but Kiri didn't go down.
"Keep it up, Kai, but I can handle your Fire Tornado." she said smiling.
Kai smiled too and increased the power. Eventually both beyblades went flying out into their owners' hands.
"That was a great match, Kai." said Kiri.
"It was good you were able to get a beydish in your basement and it's a fair size." said Kai.
They decided to go out and lie near the river.
"Kai, I'm happy I met you on that bus all those years ago. I've had amazing adventures with you, your team and your friends. We've had good times and bad times, but I wouldn't change anything." said Kiri rolling onto her side to look at Kai.
"I agree with you, Kiri. Since I met you, I've never been happier than when I am with you." said Kai also rolling over to look at her.
They kissed when suddenly a storm came in.
"Where did that come from?" asked Kiri.
"I think he was involved." said Kai pointing.
There was a young man, slightly older than Kai, standing in the pouring rain with a frown on his face.
"Who is he? Have you seen him before?" asked Kiri.
"Kai and Kiri, members of the Bladebreakers. I want to challenge you both together." said the man.
"Tell us your name. I don't want to beat a stranger." said Kai.
"Peter." said the man.
Kiri almost smiled.
"Don't laugh at me. I've had enough of that. Understand!" he said angrily.
"Something's happened to you, what is it?" asked Kiri.
"I don't need to explain it to you." he said releasing his beyblade.
"Let's get this over with." said Kai.
He and Kiri released their beyblades and tag-teamed Peter.
"You don't think tag-teaming will help, do you?" asked Peter sarcastically.
They used Fire Tornado and Lava Ray at the same time and knocked Peter's beyblade out.
"No, not again. At least my beyblade survived. I'll be back for your bit-beasts one day." said Peter and he ran away.
"What's up with him?" asked Kiri.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling something happened to him. Something terrible. If he's after bit-beasts, we better warn Tyson and the others." said Kai.
The following day, Kai and Kiri met up with Tyson, Max, Ray, Kenny and Daichi.
"So, you're saying yet another weird person wants our bit-beasts." said Tyson.
"That's such a drag." said Daichi annoyed.
"We don't know why, but he certainly seems to want something with our bit-beasts." said Kiri.
"Even though it's not significantly important, maybe we should try to find out what happened in his past. Then, maybe, we can help him." suggested Kenny.
"How can we help him? He seems beyond help." said Ray.
"We've met lots of people we'd say were beyond help." said Max.
"Yeah, like Daichi, and now he's one of us." said Tyson.
"Tyson!" shouted Daichi and he pushed Tyson over and they started fighting.
The others all laughed until Tyson and Daichi stopped fighting. Then, Kenny's phone rang.
"Who's that, Kenny?" asked Kiri.
"You guys won't believe this. It was Brooklyn, remember him? He's coming here. He said just for a visit, but why?" said Kenny.
"Brooklyn? Of the old BEGA League?" asked Kiri. "The one that gave you your hardest match, Kai?"
"Yeah. We sort of became friends after his match with Tyson. We all forgave him anyway." said Kai.
"He's arriving tomorrow, so you make sure you know what you have to say." said Kenny.
They all went back to Tyson's house for the night.
