Message to my readers:
Hello there. Glad you decided to check out my story. I have not written a fan fiction in about 5 years now. Looking back on my other stories, I realized I needed a lot of help. So here is my crack at a Beyblade fan-fiction. I hope you like it. Please give me feedback; I would like to hear from you with any suggestions on my writing style or any errors I missed in my editing process.
Thanks

Chapter 1: Unveiling
"Max, Honey I think we found it" Judy Tate smiles, beaming from ear to ear staring intently at a large stone door. She walks closer to the ruin and places her hands on the dusty symbols that are scattered across the door. "Oh yes, I think this is it."
"That's great Ms. Tate!" exclaimed Emily from the background, cheering along with the other excavators.
Max smiled as he watches his mother and her team. Finally they have found what she had been looking for several months now. After the last tournament with Tyson and the gang, he decided to spend some time helping his mother. For years his mother studied ancient beyblade hieroglyphics, trying to decipher the codes embedded in two tablets she found on one of her expeditions to China. Max remembers skimming through her notes about the four Greek Gods and their battle with a mortal who possessed the power of Hades. He remembered that the emperor was sealed away in stone along with his army of bladers. No one has ever found the tomb of the emperor and his army for centuries. He runs a hand through his blonde hair and smiles
"So, today is the day," Max walks closer to the door and places his hand on it. The symbols and pictures amazed him. He ran his hand along one of the symbols, letting his hand fall back to his side. A soft groan erupted from his beyblade pouch on his arm.
"Draciel" He pulls his blade out and stares at Draciel intently. "What's wrong buddy?"
Max was then pushed aside by some of his mother's workers. He watched them as they worked, trying to find a way to open the chamber. Emily noticed the look on Max's face and walks over to him.
"What's wrong Max?" She placed a hand on his shoulder looking at him and his beyblade.
"Nothing, but I think something is bothering Draciel" He looks up at Emily. "I don't think he likes being here"
Emily frowns, looking at him through her glasses "I thought you would be happy for your mother Max?"
"I am!" Max exclaims, "But I can't shake this ominous feeling I am getting from being down here."
Max then hears someone laugh behind him. He turns around to see his other team mate from the PPB All Starz. The tall muscular man holding a boom box on his shoulder, that was now playing rap, towers over the short bladers. Max could faintly hear the beat of the song emitting from his boom box; probably because his mother told him to cut it down or the ruin might come crumbling down.
"It's probably because little Max here is afraid of the dark" Rick grinned, peering down at Max. "What a pussy."
"Shut the hell up Rick, no one asked for your input," Max glared at him, staring directly into his eyes.
Emily rarely ever heard Max swear unless it came to Rick. She then swore she could see a spark appear when the two bladers stared at each other with anger. She shook her head and turned around to watch Max's mother, blocking out the fighting. She noticed that Mrs. Tate and her team were close to finding a way to open the tomb, by the way the scientist were darting from their stations to the large door.
"I think they got it." Emily turned to look at the two boys who had stopped arguing long enough to notice the large door slowly swing open.
"Whoa.." the three bladers said in unison as the door fully opened revealing a large room filled with about three-hundred statues surrounding a large bowl that resembled a blade dish. They all notice at the far wall of the room stood a throne, with a seated figure holding its hand out, as if it was beckoning the entire world. In the dish stood one beyblade, black as the night sky, spinning in the middle of the dish.
The team of scientist enters the chamber, spreading themselves out to every corner of the ruin. Judy walks to the dish and stares at the blade spinning in the dish.
"A beyblade that has been spinning—
"For ten thousand years" Emily completed.
Judy turned around noticing the three children standing behind her. She wondered who let them beyond the door, realizing they could touch something they shouldn't be. She shook of the parental feeling and allowed them to stay as they all seemed to be mesmerized by the spinning beyblade.
"Amazing isn't it?" Judy kneeled down near the stadium to get a better look. "Some say if this blade was ever disturbed it would throw off the world's equilibrium and plunge the world into darkness."
She then stood up and turned her head quickly as she heard a crash. She noticed a broken vase laying on the ground and an apologetic scientist frantically waving his arms. She then felt that she should have been watching them instead of the kids, at least they haven't broken anything. Scurrying off to that side of the room, she leaves the teens to observe the blade.
"I bet I could topple that blade over with one hit" Rick eagerly pulling his blade out and holding it out "My Rock Bison here could do the job easily!" That exclamation earned a slap from Emily, who began scolding him about what Mrs. Tate just stated.
Max shrugged off Rick's arrogance and begins to look around the tomb. He walks up to the throne and places his hand on the chair where the figure sat. As soon as his hand connects with the chair, Draciel lets out another groan of displeasure. Max was sure that Draciel was noticing something he wasn't.
"Draciel what are you trying to—
"RICK NO!" Emily's voice carried across the chamber.
Max turned around at the commotion noticing Rick had already launched his blade into the dish with the black beyblade. Max ran over to the dish to help with the scene. He noticed his mother who was on the other side of the room yelling at Rick to remove his beyblade from the stadium.
"Rick what the hell is wrong with you!" Max grabbed his shoulders to turn the large man toward him only to find something he didn't expect. Rick's eyes were white, as if he was in a trance. Rick then took his hand and picked up by the neck Max, throwing him across the room. Max landed into a pile of rubble. Max noticed Emily's fate was the same as his when she tried to stop the deranged blader.
"Okay since you won't stop, I'll have to force you too" Max pulled out his launcher, turning on his guidance light and pushed his rip cord through the hole. He attached his blade to the launcher and pulls on the rip cord hard, launching Draciel at Rock Bison. "Go Draciel!"
His green blade flew into the dish and slammed into Rock Bison. The force knocked Rock Bison into the walls of the stadium. Rick let out a roar of rage as he commanded Rock Bison to proceed to knock over the black bey. Draciel blocked the attack again, standing between Rock Bison and the other blade. Rock Bison clashed with Draciel multiple times, desperately trying to get past it.
"Rick get a hold of yourself!" Max yelled at the man across the stadium from him. Rick responded with another yell and a black aura engulfed him and his blade. Rock Bison slammed into Draciel, knocking it back for the first time.
"What!" Max gritted his teeth as his blade slammed into the wall. 'Okay enough playing around Draciel!" He held his hand out and Draciel raced toward Rock Bison to keep it from attacking the black beyblade. "Let's go! Draciel: Gravity Control!" The green blade began to spin around the stadium releasing a water cyclone around the two beyblades. "Got you now Rick!"
Rick then yelled out a cry of pain as if the attack was hurting him instead of his beyblade. He then let out an even louder scream and a black beam shot out from Rock Bison, knocking Draciel out of the stadium and into the wall behind Max. Rock Bison now free to attack slams into the black beyblade, the force knocking Rock Bison back into Rick. Rick flies across the room into a group of scientist, knocked out cold. The black beyblade lands outside of the stadium, still spinning and begins to glow.
"Draciel!" Max picks up Draciel and runs over to help a groggy Emily. "What's going on?"
"Max look!" Emily exclaimed out of fear.
Around the room the stone figures suddenly started moving, the pieces of rock falling off like dirt caked on a shoe. The figures each pulled out a beyblade launcher and pointed them at the scientist, causing them to run. With everything happening so quickly Max didn't notice his mom come up behind them and pull them out of sight.
"Max listen to me. Emily and you have to get out of her and report all this to Mr. Dickenson in Japan. This is urgent information and he needs to know" She hands him a letter. She opens a small door on the wall of the tomb. Max noticed it almost immediately, an escape chute. She was trying to save them, and only them. Before he could object she pushed him and Emily down an escape chute, blew a kiss at him, and closed the door behind them. He heard her scream as they flew down the slide and ended up outside of the tomb where the vehicles were.
"Mom!" Max frantically got to his feet and began to run back into the tomb. He felt a tug at his hand, it was Emily. "Let me go, I have to save her!"
"You heard your mother, we have got to get this information to Mr. Dickenson immediately" Max noticed Emily's face was as stern ash she could manage. She was about to cry but she was holding it together for him. "Please Max, we have to go!"
Cries of pleads and agony resonated from the tomb. "Okay" Max grabbed her hand and jumped into one of the Jeeps. "Let's go" Emily started the Jeep and sped off away from the tomb. Max pulled out his phone and created a video message just in case they get into trouble on the way.
"Tyson, its Max, Some big things are going down in China. Emily and I are heading towards Ray and then to Japan. Meet me at Mr. Dickenson's office on Monday. I'm sorry I can't say more but-" Emily screams in the background. "Damn it, Tyson be careful, watch your back until we get there!" The camera begins to shake around as the truck flips over and slams into a tree. The video still recording, Max could see his bloody face in the reflection of his phone screen. "Tyson be careful!" The video feed cut off.
Tyson stood there in awe looking at his phone. "Max!"
