Heather: alright. this is a first shot deal so it may kinda suck. I'm gonna make a second chapter but I'm not too sure if I'm gonna finish the story.

Ray: she's a little low on confidence.

Tyson: don't worry. it's a great story. would i lie to you?

Ray and Heather:-_-

Tyson: don't answer that

Heather: well I don't own Beyblade (so sad) but I do own Rachel and Redler. so let the story begin

Chapter 1

Making Introductions

Tyson is so dead. Does he really need 3 hours just to get ready to watch me battle? Now I'm late for my match against Max. I mean, I love my little brother, but it wouldn't be that bad to be an only child. Oh. I should probably tell you who I am. My name's Rachel. I'm 15 and part of a little team called the Bladebreakers. Ever heard of them? I can't do much more of an introduction or I'll be later than I already am.

A fast moving red blur could be seen running full speed through the park followed by a wheezing blue blur. Rachel almost toppled into the beydish trying to stop only to be pushed the rest of the way by Tyson.

"Er...sorry sis." Tyson said jumping up off the ground. Seeing the death glare Rachel was giving him made Tyson try to hide behind Kenny who was sitting under a tree typing away on his laptop.

"What exactly does he think he's doing?" rang out the well-known voice from the computer.

"I'm not too sure Dizzy" replied Kenny, giving Tyson many odd looks at the same time.

"Hello. Can someone PLEASE get me out of here?" Rachel couldn't stand being stuck in the beydish any longer. A hand grabbed hers and pulled her out.

"What took you so long?"

"Ray, the answer's cowering behind Kenny" a cold voice replied. Kai emerged from the other side of the tree Kenny was under.

"I am not cowering!" Tyson shot out.

"Then what do YOU call shaking like a baby?" Kai scowled.

"Why I oughta.." Tyson started to get up and headed towards Kai only to be stopped by the meanest pair of brown eyes that he had ever seen. He had obviously pushed Rachel too far this time. Rahcel quickly put Tyson in a headlock and started squeezing as hard as she could.

"Rachel...I said...I was... sorry.I...can't BREATHE!"

"Come on Rachel. Are you ready to battle yet?" Max asked, beyblade in hand.

"I guess so" Rachel let go of Tyson only to shoot him another death glare as he wandered off towards Kenny.

"You should probably find a new anger management program, Rach." Ray said, slightly grinning.

"Should I start on you then?" Rachel replied with a wink and a smile.

"Come on guys. I need to update my information on Redler." Kenny stated, getting agitated at how long this was taking.

"ok ok" Rachel loaded her black blade onto her launcher. She couldn't help but think about how cranky Kenny had been lately. 'It's his own fault though' Rachel thought to herself. He was the one who stayed up all night working on Rachel's blade. All she did was ask for a different attack ring and Kenny had to keep on going on about how the parts had to match with the bit beast. Rachel knew that Redler wouldn't care, as long as it made him stronger

"Alright Max, you ready to get your butt kicked?" Rachel said pointing a finger at him.

"Well me and Draciel have something else in mind. Ready? 3.2.1..LET IT RIP!"

Max an d Rachel pulled their ripcords at exactly the same time. Max's green blade took it's traditional spot in the center of the dish while the black blade was spinning circles along the outside.

"Whoa! Is her blade picking up speed, Chief?" Tyson asked popping out of nowhere.

"Thanks for pointing out the obvious" Kai stated, staring intently at the match in front of him.

"The kid's right. I guess you didn't mention the other adjustments you made, did you?" Just as soon as Dizzi finished her sentence, Max's blade shot out like a bullet, amking Ray dive for the ground.

"Wha..What just happened?" Max managed to spit out.

"Redler was moving too fast for you to see the attack coming." Rachel smiled as she bent down to pick up her blade. It was completely quiet for a while since everyone was shocked about what just happened until Kai chimed in.

"Looks like someone's been practicing."

"Aw and won't it be sad when Dranzer can't save you and you have to beg for my mercy" Rachel replied with a wink.

"Yeah it would, but you know I don't beg" Kai stated, trying to conciel the blush the was coming over his face.

~Rachel's POV~

Ok. People may be confused right now. Kai's supposed to be the cold and solitary leader. Then why does he talk to me? Well me, him, and Ray have been palying these mental games with one another for a while now. And up until last year it was all innocent fun. But now I think Kai and Ray are both falling for me causing the way things were to go upside down.
