2007 update version: It's been an almost 4 year hiatus since I updated this fic, so I am going to edit some of the older chapters as well as add some new ones! All original author notes from 2003 will still be displayed. The main changes I have made to this chapter include the addition of a brief plot synopsis as well as improving the dialogue and overall fluency.
Plot synopsis: The main storyline takes place about a month after the events of Beyblade season one. Contrary to everyone's belief that Biovolt became defunct after the world championships in Russia, Emily of the All Stars discovers that they are indeed, still actively working towards world domination. In particular, Biovolt intends to employ time travel technology to prevent the Bladebreakers from ever forming a team! With the help of Judy Mizuhara, some new friends, and a mysterious blue bit beast, the Bladebreakers must travel six years into the past in order rescue Tyson, Max, Ray and Kai. . . their seven-year old selves!
Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade or any of its characters. I only own this little fanfic…
Hey all! This is my first fanfic ever, so I hope you'll enjoy it! Please read and review!
Chapter 1-Time for a Change
It had only been a week after the Bladebreakers had emerged victorious from the world championships in Russia. Voltaire was in his office, silently brooding over how his superior Biovolt technology and the genetically improved Demolition Boys could have been overtaken by such a seemingly amateur team of bladers. However, he was still adamant, and had no intention of giving up his plans for world domination just yet…
Gazing through his office window, Voltaire attempted to make sense of the events that had surpassed just a short time ago.
"How could this be? My superior bit beasts . . . my carefully implemented technology . . . my plans! All foiled by those incompetent Bladebreakers! I won't stand for this – this outrage!" He slammed a fist against his desk as he heard a knock on his door. Boris entered the room, smirking as he apprehensively approached Voltaire.
"Master Voltaire, sir, I-"
"What is it, Boris?"
"I believe I have found a way we may get revenge on the Bladebreakers."
"Hmph. As if you would! And what makes you so sure? You've tried my patience enough times for me to be able to figure out that you're not-"
"Sir, this is important!" Boris interjected, urgency brimming in his voice. "This proposition that I'm about to make is completely infallible!"
"Insolence! You dare interrupt your master? I ought to-"
Voltaire paused, surprised by Boris's sudden conviction. Could he really be so confident in this new plan? However, Voltaire still found it highly unlikely that Boris would ever be able to think up of something to thwart the Bladebreakers. After all, he had tried, and failed so many times already. However, although Voltaire was not quite ready to concede to it, he was curious about what Boris was plotting, and was already wondering about what it could possibly be. 'Maybe I should let him explain himself,' Voltaire thought.
Boris looked to Voltaire. He seemed pensive and deep in thought. 'Well, maybe I can explain my new proposition now that he's not shouting at me any more,' thought Boris.
"Master Voltaire, I believe we may get revenge on the Bladebreakers if we can prevent them from ever forming a team." Voltaire looked shocked at first, then let out a chuckle.
"Hahaha…and how might we be capable of doing that?" Voltaire remarked sarcastically.
"Time travel, of course. The remaining members of Biovolt are currently working on that in our research and development department at this very moment. I'm thinking that if we can travel back in time and somehow prevent the Bladebreakers from ever meeting up, maybe Biovolt would be ruling the world as we know it right now."
Voltaire couldn't decide whether he should burst out laughing or talk some sense into Boris for such a crazy proposition. Time travel? It was the most ludicrous idea he had ever heard! But with Biovolt's technology, such an improbable concept might indeed become probable after all. Voltaire pondered some more, then dismissed Boris from his office, telling him to keep him updated on the time travel developments. Perhaps this time, Boris was onto something that could get rid of the Bladebreakers once and for all.
A few weeks later, on the other side of the world, the Bladebreakers were hanging out with the All Stars and Max's mom in her laboratory in America. For the past little while, they had been staying at a nearby hotel so that they could spend some time together before returning to their homes, as they were no longer a team. Tyson and Max would often explore the city together, scoping out parks where they could catch some amateur blading action. Ray usually went shopping and sightseeing while Kai went off on his own…somewhere. For the moment, everyone was at the lab where Max's mom and Emily had been trying to find out what had become of Biovolt and Voltaire. They were unsure of whether or not they still posed a threat.
"Man, this is taking forever! Kenny, I'd better not be missing lunch for this!"
"Be patient, Tyson! Biovolt may seem like it's been put out of business, but we have to make sure that this is the case, or they could make a comeback and perhaps succeed with their original plans for world domination!"
"A few more minutes? Do you have any idea how long . . . "
While Tyson and Kenny were arguing over the importance of finding out whether or not Biovolt was up to anything, Max and his mom were on the other side of the room, discussing the probability of Biovolt being able to strike back this soon after they had been defeated at the world championships. Ray was chatting with Michael in another corner while Kai was leaning against a wall, arms crossed and seemingly deep in thought. Emily was becoming impatient with Tyson's whining, so she decided to cut in.
"Oh Tyson, give it a rest. Missing one meal of the day isn't going to kill you, but a surprise attack from Biovolt could very well finish the job. So shut up and-"
"Don't worry, Emily! I can keep Tyson busy!" Max walked over to the center of the room where Tyson, Kenny and Emily were arguing, smiling cheerfully as he approached them. "Just leave it to me!"
Emily and Kenny stood there dumbstruck, unsure of what Max was about to do. "Hey Tyson! Why don't we do something else while we leave Emily and Kenny to their researching?"
"Sounds good, Max! How about a beybattle?" Tyson smirked at his friend.
"You're on!"
Tyson and Max walked over to the beystadium in the next room. This beystadium in particular was unique to the lab as it could record and analyze data on the competitors as they battled. It could also change form so that the All Stars were able to train for a variety of different situations. For now, Tyson and Max decided to leave it as is so that they could have a normal match without any quirks. While Tyson pulled Dragoon out from his pocket, Max threaded his ripcord through his launcher. They stood on opposite sides of the dish as they readied their blades. Max placed Draciel onto his launcher as Tyson followed suit.
"You ready, Tyson?"
"Yeah, ready when you are!"
"Haha. . . okay!"
"3. . . 2. . . 1. . . LET IT RIP!" they shouted in unison. Max's green beyblade took its place in the center of the dish while Tyson's white blade circled around it, ready to attack. It attempted to slam the green blade a few times, but Max managed to evade Tyson's every move.
"Hehe. . . not bad, Maxy!"
"Don't get too cocky, Tyson! World champion or not, you should always stand your ground!"
Tyson's blade made a quick swerve toward Max's once more while the green beyblade remained in the center of dish, spinning in its characteristic defensive position.
"Dragoon! Phantom hurricane attack!"
"Draciel, defense!"
The bit in Tyson's blade gave off a brilliant flash as it created a whirlwind that engulfed the entire beystadium. The bit in Max's blade was glowing as well, emanating a protective barrier. Dragoon and Draciel emerged, charging toward each other. As the white beyblade collided with the green one, Draciel blocked the hit, causing Dragoon to be thrown back in recoil. The white beyblade was propelled high into the air by its own attack while the green beyblade maintained a steady spin, readying for a counterattack. As Tyson's blade was falling uncontrollably, Max's blade smashed it upward again, sending it clear out of the dish. Tyson's blade landed at his feet with its attack ring chipped.
"What? How could I lose?"
"Nice try Tyson, but you shouldn't have let your guard down, hmm?""Darn…well, maybe I was just going easy on you. You'd better look out Max, 'cause next time you might not be so lucky!"
"Haha. . . whatever you say Tyson."
"Hey you guys!" Kenny yelled. "Get over here, quick!"
Tyson and Max returned to the lab where everyone was crowded around Emily's computer. They made their way towards them as they were curious to see what all the fuss was about. Apparently, Emily had succeeded in intercepting an e-mail from someone working in Biovolt. As everyone was staring intently at the screen, Emily opened the e-mail for all to see.
