This is just something I thought up while watching some movies and brain storming. I hope you enjoy it!
Sitting in the dojo after a hard day of training, the bladebreakers were dreading the upcoming tournament season. A lot of off the grid battles have left their blades damaged and Kenny not being able to fix them all in a timely fashion.
"How much longer do we have to practice with these novice blades Kenny?" Tyson complained as he sat down next to him, sighing heavily as he looked around the room. Kenny sighed in frustration, shaking his head "Tyson, I haven't even started on your blade, and your blade was the second one to be damaged. With everything on my plate with planning the tournament and fixing your blades, I can't do everything at once!" Kenny said in a very snappy tone. "Tyson, will you leave him alone?! Poor Kenny can't do everything by himself so just be patient!", Hilary yelled at him, about to start up a fight until they heard a familiar voice. "That's why I took matters into my own hands", they all heard say as he walked in, making everyone look at him with a confused and surprised look. "Mr. Dickenson, Hi! How are you? Its been a long time" Tyson said as he stood up and walked over to him. "It has indeed Tyson, I heard my champions are having a little trouble this year with your blades?" he asked as he looked at all the broken blades sitting by Kenny.
"Yeah, this year has just been unbelievable with all the ammature bladers challenging us. Little did we know they just wanted to destroy our blades, winning didn't matter" Rei answered as he walked up to the group from being outside. "If you don't mind me asking, what did you mean by what you said ?" Hilary asked, her expression growing confused. That is when a girl walked up behind Mr. Dickenson, one that nobody in the BBA organization has ever seen before. Even Kai thought she seemed a little out of place, her expression was very serious also. Her dark green eyes seemed sorrowed, tanned rings around her eyes as if she hasn't slept in days, her long brunette hair tied in a side pony tail that draped over her shoulder. She wore a thick, choker like band around her neck, a long sleeved black shirt and a pair of light blue hip hugger jeans that fit her toned, petite looking body perfectly.
"Bladebreakers, I would like for you to meet Isabelle. I hired her to be your new team manager. She will take care of the planning of the hotel rooms, the tournament registration and anything else Kenny needs help with." said as he moved aside, allowing Isabelle to step forward and meet the team. "Hello everyone, its very nice to meet the Champions " she said very robot like. It was weird, even to Kai it seemed out of place. "Umm..Hi. I'm Tyson, that's Rei, Max, Kai and Kenny over there" Tyson introduced with not a lot of enthusiasum, not really thrilled about having another girl on the team. "I'm Hilary! I usually take care of everything for the boys so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask" she said to Isabelle, who only stared at her confused. "I'm sorry, I was under the impression I was doing this job alone, which is why I signed up in the first place. I don't like it when people get in my way of doing things", Isabelle answered, looking at with a look that spoke what she was thinking. Fix it or I quit.
"Oh..yes Isabelle. You are in charge of this team from now on. Hilary has just been with the team for a long time and knows the roots of getting things done also. I'm sure you could fi-'' before could finish, Isabelle cut him off. "No. I do this alone or this team won't have a manager. If she was here for a long time and yet you still hired me, she is obviously not doing what she's supposed to be doing and that's not exactly what Champions need" she said to him, shocking everyone in the room and causing Hilary to drop her jaw. Sighing heavily, nodded and agreed to what she said "You're right, these boys need all the help they can get" he stated. This irritated Tyson to the point of a vein popping out of his head.
"Mr. Dickenson, I'm sorry but we don't need any help. We have everything under control here." he said before Kenny ran up from behind him and shook Isabelle's hand. "You're a real life savor, thank you so much for coming to help me out Isabelle", he said to her in an excited voice, Kenny couldn't be happier to have someone there to help him out, especially this girl. He thought she was the most beautiful thing he had ever laid his eyes on.
Isabelle shook his hand and nodded, only smiling weakly. "Well Mr. Dickenson said you needed the help, and I've been doing this kind of thing for years" she said to him as she followed him to the computer and started going over things with him. Tyson sighed heavily as he looked at Mr. Dickenson and then at the team capitan. When Kai didn't say anything, he just gave in and nodded "Alright Mr. Dickenson, we will give her a chance. How long is she going to be with us?" he asked. Mr. Dickenson started to walk out, Tyson following him out.
"She's going to be here for the remainder of the year Tyson. Kenny is going to need help, and she knows the ins and outs of a beyblade better than he does. Call me if you have any problems ok?", he said before he started to leave. Tyson sat outside for a moment before he walked in, seeing how upset Hilary is and the two brains behind the computer. Sitting beside Hilary, Tyson let out another sigh and looked her way.
" I can't believe her, she just walks in and thinks she can just take over when I've been doing this for years", she said to him, speaking loud enough for Kai to hear her and turn his head to face her. "She's only here to help, will you just stop complaining? God knows you do enough of it and I'm not in the mood to hear it right now" he said in a very stern voice, walking outside and sitting on the porch. Hilary raised an eyebrow and huffed "Well, then I guess I will just go home if anyone thinks I'm being unreasonable, just remember I'm not the one who intruded on this team and took over like a military commander'', she said before she stormed out. Isabelle watched her leave and shook her head "Is she on her period or something?" she asked, making Rei giggle a bit "No she just likes to keep things the way they were. Don't mind her, she will come around" he answered. Shaking her head, Isabelle looked in his direction and smirked "I would prefer she stay away if she can't keep her opinions to herself. A girl with a big mouth like hers needs a muzzle and I don't happen to have one on me at this moment", she said with a mocking tone.
Tyson then stood up and glared at Isabelle "Hey, don't talk about Hilary like that! She's been here a long time and we were doing just fine before you came in. Now one of our good friends is at home crying because she feels like she has been replaced here. I for one won't stand for it", he said as he grabbed his jacket and started to walk out "Where are you going Tyson?" Max asked in a concerned tone, not wanting his friend to leave out of anger. "I don't know, check on Hilary because that's what she would do for us", he answered before walking out. Max then decided to follow him, so now it was just Kai, Rei, Kenny and Isabelle.
"Well, for a world class champion, he sure acts like a immature little kid", Isabelle commented. Shaking his head, Rei then moved over to where her and Kenny were and sat down in front of them. "He's another one you're going to have to get used to, he doesn't handle situations very well", Kenny said as he typed in something on his laptop and handed it to Isabelle "Here you go, that's all of our stats and what our schedule looks like this year. I'm going to go fix the blades." he said as he stood up and walked over to where the blades were, starting to put them together piece by piece.
Sighing a bit heavily, Isabelle slipped her hand into her pocket and pulled out a hard drive stick, plugging it into Kenny's computer and moving all the files onto the hard drive. "What are you doing that for?" Rei asked, seeming a little suspicious of what she just did. Isabelle looked at him with a solid look and rolled her eyes "Don't worry, I'm not stealing the information. This is for me to put on my computer so I can plan all of this while Kenny uses his Laptop. I know he will eventually need it" she said as she typed in more things and took out the hard drive. "Oh, I'm sorry I wasn't trying to sound like I was accusing you of anything. Our team has just been through a lot and its hard for us to trust outside people" Rei explained, rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.
Isabelle raised an eyebrow and closed Kenny's laptop, getting up to walk over to her car. "Its OK, I don't trust people either."she answered before leaving the Dojo, walking past Kai who was sitting outside. When she got to her car, she sat in the back and plugged in her hard drive, immediately seeing a message on the screen...
'Don't forget what you're working for'
Shaking her head out of anger, Isabelle snap closed her laptop and carried it to the Dojo. As she approached the door, she saw Kai sitting still and stopped in her tracks, hesitant about talking to him. "Kai, since you're the team capitan, I am going to need you to work with me" she started saying, turning his head to look at her but with a look of confusion "What can I do? I am not responsible for planning anything", he said to her as he stood up. "No but you are responsible for keeping the children in line, so please do that for me so I can do my job", she said to him, making him raise an eyebrow at her words. Isabelle held her stern, dominant looking gaze. Kai only smirked and shook his head "Those 'children' you speak of will be taken care of, I don't like whining anymore than you do'' he answered, receiving a nod from her before she walked past him and into the Dojo. Kai wasn't finished though...
Tapping her shoulder, she turned around to face him "Hey just for the record, you're not the one in charge here, I am. I am the capitan as you said and therefor what I say goes also" his tone was rather stern, a dominant one. Isabelle gave him a weird look, one mixed with nervousness and challenge. "We'll see", she said as she walked further into the Dojo and sat down next to her stuff.
Max chased Tyson down all the way to the park, it had been over an hour now and Tyson still looked like a freshly lit chimney. "Hey Tyson, wait up", Max yelled out. Tyson didn't stop, only sat down on the bench once he reached the park. Sitting down next to him, Max sighed heavily and patted his friend's shoulder. "Listen buddy, I know none of us were expecting this at all, but we can't just refuse it over a bad introduction", Max tried to tell him, only to have his hand smacked away and Tyson standing up in anger.
" Max you don't get it. Who just comes onto a team's turf, insults and degrades them in front of and thinks they can just take over? I don't like her, I get terrible vibes from her dude " Tyson explained. "Tyson, give her a chance. She is probably just as nervous and deals with it a certain way. Where ever she came from, thats probably how they train their people. I know you're angry, and I know Hilary is hurt too. This all takes time, remember when Kai went crazy in Russia a couple years ago? We forgave him and now look where we are, we're the number one team on the circut. Besides, its not like she's blading with us, she's just planning everything so Kenny can fix our blades" Max did his best to get into Tyson's head, but Tyson of course is too stubborn for his own good. "I'm going to go see if Hilary is ok. You go back to the Dojo and see whats going on", Tyson commanded before he walked off.
Sighing out of frustration, Max shook his head and started to head back to the Dojo. Now all he can hope for is that Tyson comes back soon, or else Kai is going to have to go looking for him.
As Tyson walked to Hilary's place, his mind started thinking positively. He really hated it when that happened sometimes. Isabelle did seem rough around the edges and maybe she was that type of person to deal with it a certain way. If anything, it seems as if she's afraid of screwing up. Running a hand through his hair, he sighed heavily and swung his arms beside him as he approached Hilary's house. "Here goes nothing" ,he said to himself as he knocked on the front door.
By the time Max got back, Isabelle had already left. "Well, Tyson went to Hilary's house to see if she's ok. I say give him about an hour and he should be back", Max said as he took off his coat and sat down next to Kenny; who was hard at work at Draciel. "but he's ok? He isn't going do something stupid like disappear for days on end?" Rei asked, having just gotten out of the shower. Max shook his head, going back to watching Kenny put Draciel back together. "Sorry Max, I have to wait for parts to come in. They should be here by tomorrow morning", Kenny commented as he put Draciel aside and started working on Dranzer.
When Isabelle got to the hotel, she put her stuff down on the bed and proceeded to get her clothes ready for a shower. What she didn't know was someone was already in that room, someone she didn't expect to be on the trip with her. Hearing the bathroom door open, she froze out of fear as her eyes gazed upon her 'roommate'. "Hello darling, have a nice first day?", she heard him ask, slowly turning around to face him.
"Brian, what are you doing here?" she asked him, only to see him smirk at her fear. Laughing a bit, Brian flopped down on the bed next to her and relaxed "What? Did you expect the boss to let you go on this mission alone? He's not stupid. He sent me along, to keep you in line and make sure you don't foil our plans. You get everything?" he asked, snatching her laptop out of her bag and looking over what she got from Kenny's computer.
"Wow, a whole afternoon and this is all you got?" he asked her as he put her computer down and got off the bed, walking towards her "I couldn't get anymore information because their blades are busted, that nerd has to fix them first", she said to him as she backed away from him, only for her back to meet the wall. Brian smiled as he trapped her there by her neck and squeezed, immediately cutting off her air way "Is that the truth? If you're lying at all or trying to find ways around this whole mission, you can tell your little brother goodbye via skype and you'll never see him again" he said to her in a dark voice, his grip getting stronger. Isabelle's hands gripped his wrist in an attempt to get him to let go, her face turning red and tears coming out of her eyes "P-please I can't-b-breathe" she managed to choke out. Brian held her for a couple more seconds before he finally let her go.
She fell to her knees and gasped for air, coughing and holding her throat gently as she tried to concentrate on her breathing. Brian kneeled down next to her, making her face him by putting his hand under her chin "You just keep remembering who you are working for and what you're working for, and we won't have any troubles. You understand?" Brian asked her, receiving a nod from her before he stood up. He then gave her a swift kick in the ribcage, knocking her against the wall and making her grunt in pain "That was just for the hell of it" she heard him say before she watched him walk back over to his bed and turn on the tv. After laying on the floor for a few minutes, Isabelle finally found the strength to stand up and walk to where her clothes were, walking into the bathroom and locking the door so she could have a peaceful shower.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she took off the neck band, to see bruises forming from Brian's hand and the scar on the side of her neck. "Hang in there Noah, we will be free soon", she said to herself quietly before she started the shower.
Knocking on Hilary's bedroom door, Tyson heard her moving around before the door opened, she looked like she had been crying. "Hey, can I come in?" he asked her, of course being let in the room. "You can't convince me to go back, not while she's there. She doesn't know anything about me!" Hilary said as she sat down on her bed. Sighing heavily, Tyson sat down next to her and laid back on the bed, looking up at the ceiling " I know, but we have to put up with her because we're stuck with her. I've been thinking, we should give her a chance. I mean, we gave you a chance and you knew nothing about beyblading" he mentioned, making her glare at him but she knew he had a point. " Isabelle may seem rough around the edges, but at least she seems to know what she's doing and, she's really there to help out. Its not like she can take over the team, Kai won't let that happen", Tyson continued.
Raising an eyebrow, Hilary smirked and nodded in agreement. "Yeah I guess you're right, but I am not going to stand for her remarks tomorrow. I can promise you that, I'll explode at the next comment she makes", she said. Tyson laughed a bit, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry Hil, she won't say anything to you. She will be too focused on her job to even bother with you" he said to her, earning a smile before he sat up. "Are you ok now? Are you going to come back tomorrow?" he asked her. Receiving a nod from her, he smiled and turned towards the door "Ok, well I better get back before Kai comes out to find me. We will see you tomorrow ok?" he said as he was leaving. Hilary stopped him by grabbing his arm gently "Tyson, thank you" she said to him, smiling sweetly. Tipping his hat to her, Tyson smiled and winked "No problem Hil, its what I do best" he said before he took his leave.
