American Beybladers

Chapter 1 ~ Black Blade Dragons ~
The Bladebreakers finally arrive on their second trip to America. Everything is as usual, Tyson and Kenny were talking about how to improve Tyson's 'blade. Max was staring out the window, and Rei and Kai were silently minding their own business. The bus they were riding was taking them to the nearest beyblade practice grounds. The bus pulled to a stop at a bright green field. Kids were in the field playing against each other. In a remote section in the far upper right corner was a stage. A large group of people had gathered around the stage to watch a band play. The Bladebreakers stepped off the bus and looked down on the field. "Pitiful," Kai mumbled.

"Aw! So cool! They got a band to play here! I wanna hear!" Tyson yelled running down the steep incline. When he got to the bottom he tripped and fell face first into the dirt. The lead singer of the band signaled for the group to stop and she jumped off the stage and ran over to Tyson who was stuck in the mud.

"Are you okay?" she asked. She offered her hand to help him up. He accepted, but when he pulled to get himself up she wasn't prepared for how hard he would pull and she fell face-first in the mud. She turned over and laughed. She was, as was Tyson, coated with mud. She climbed out of the mud and offered her hand to Tyson again, this time she was prepared and Tyson was out of the mud.

"Heh heh, sorry about that," Tyson laughed nervously. He was afraid that she would be mad at him for pulling her in the mud.

"Oh, that's alright," she laughed. "Stuff like that happens. It's called an accident."

"I knew that!" Tyson said smiling. The rest of the Bladebreakers came down the path intended for those entering the grounds.

"Follow me," she said to Tyson. "I'll show you where you can get cleaned up." She turned around and led him behind the stage. She sifted through a trunk and took a pair of clothes, she then walked into a room built into the back of the stage and came out a couple of minutes later completely clean and with her muddy clothes bundled up in her hand. She was wearing a black long sleeve shirt and navy blue jeans. "You can borrow some of David's clothes, he wouldn't mind." Tyson nodded and she tossed him a pair of jeans and a black shirt from the trunk. Tyson walked into the room and didn't come out for nearly ten to fifteen minutes later. The girl laughed and walked on stage. "It's about time to get this back on the road isn't it?" she asked the crowd.

"Alkira!" a yell came from the crowd. The crowd split down the center to reveal four guys in black trench coats. "We challenge you and the BBD to a battle!"

"You have got to be kidding me!" The girl growled. She turned to the guy on the drums. "David, what do you think?" David had dark blonde hair and grayish-green eyes. He was wearing a black shirt that on the back said 'Bite Me' in crude lettering. He was also wearing olive green cargo pants.

"Don't ask me," David said. "Jake makes most of our plans." The two looked to the lead guitarist. Jake had black hair and hazel eyes. At the moment he was wearing a gray-blue shirt and gray jeans.

"Don't even look at me!" He said. "At times like this when this happens we always look to Kavien." Kavien had gray-blue hair and cat green eyes. He was wearing clothes unlike his fellow band members, a yellow shirt that said 'Whoopedy-doo!' on the back and dark red shorts.

The bass player had been fingering the strings through the whole conversation. He now looked up and, a little frightened by all the staring, took a few steps back and fell off the stage. "That settles it!" said Alkira. "We battle! Best out of three." The crowd cheered and the band put away their instruments and walked to the largest battle dish. Alkira looked at her team. "Who goes first?" she asked them.

"I'll go," Jake said yawning. "Then I guess David after me and then you, Alkira."

"Alrighty then," she smiled. Jake walked up to the dish and pulled out his beyblade. "You're going down Klar!" Alkira said.

"Don't count on it! This time around, the BBD is going down!" Klar responded.

Tyson walked up next to Alkira and tapped her on the shoulder. "Yes?" she asked turning towards Tyson.

"Yeah, I've been meaning to ask you. What does 'BBD' stand for?" he asked.

"First of all, what's your name?"

"I'm Tyson. I'm a member of the Bladebreakers," he said. He then turned around, "and this is Kenny, Max, Rei, and our "leader" Kai." He indicated the people as he said their names.

"I'm Alkira leader of the BBD, this guy next to me is Kavien, and Jake is up there about to battle, and David is the one with the blonde hair. And 'BBD' stands for Black Blade Dragons, it's our official name," she said. Alkira's purplish colored hair swayed as the wind blew.

"Cool, so, who are those losers?" Tyson said indicating Klar and his three stooges.

"Brushfire," she said glaring at Klar who made kissie faces at her. "God, he's gonna make me vomit."

"Who's going against Jake right now?" Tyson asked. Kenny was talking to Dizzi and making comments about the fighting style of the guy going against Jake.

"That's Mark, he's got a reckless fighting style, but I think he's actually gay," Alkira said laughing.

"What gives you that idea?" Max asked walking up next to Tyson.

"Well, if you watch as he's fighting, he'll make googlie-eyes at Jake," she laughed.

"Alkira! We're waiting for you to shut your mouth!" Jake shouted at her.

"Ah dry up you old prune!" she said. "And let it rip!"

The two beybladers pulled the ripcords and started the battle. "Cat's Glare!" Jake shouted. His beyblade sped up and quickly knocked the opponent out of the battle.

"And Jake wins!" Alkira said. "Go on David, you're up."

David stepped up and brought out his beyblade. "Can you tell me anything about that 'blade?" Max asked.

"Custom made in my shop, it's built of defense mostly, but it can pack one heck of a punch," Alkira whispered.

"And the opponent?" Kenny asked taking Dizzi and walking to the other side of Tyson.

"Austin? He ain't nothing but a poser," she said.

"What did you call me?" Austin yelled.

Alkira turned to him and shouted, "You're the posiest poser in Poserland!"

Austin growled, "I wish you would shut her up some how, Klar."

"Ready?" Alkira asked the combatants. They nodded. "Let it rip!" she shouted. The ripcords were pulled. As soon as it had begun, it was over. David had won. "Klar, looks like your losing," Alkira gloated. She and David traded places and she brought out her beyblade.

"Whoa!" Max, Kenny, and Tyson said as they admired the gray and blue beyblade.

"It's made for attack and speed," Jake said.

"Who's this Klar guy?" Rei asked walking next to Kenny.

"He's had a crush on Alkira since they were little kids. Alkira has mostly ignored him through life, except for the occasional insult. His 'blade has been modified to use fewer defenses and more attack power. I think he's been practicing, so this one could take longer," Jake yawned.

"Let it rip!" David shouted. Ripcords were pulled. After pulling her ripcord, Alkira closed her eyes and listened.

"What's she.?" Tyson began to say before Jake shushed him.

The members of Brushfire were acting noisy and it was ruining Alkira's concentration. Klar's beyblade was starting to inflict damage. Her ears twitched and she gave the command. "Byokor! Raven's Wing Attack, now!" she shouted. Her bit beast was activated. A large green raven erupted from the top of the beyblade and beat its wings, causing the opposing beyblade to get caught in the wind and swept out of the dish. Alkira sighed in relief and opened her eyes. She glanced down at her hands; one of them was slashed and bleeding. "I should have used Meerka," she said. Kavien walked up to Alkira and handed her a long white strip of cloth. She wrapped up her right hand. With her left she brought it over the battle dish and her beyblade jumped up and landed in her hand. She placed it in her pocket and walked back down to where Tyson and the others were standing.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Tyson asked.

"Jake, explain please? I got to get home 'fore you know what," Alkira said.

"Yeah, sure," Jake said.

"Later you guys," Alkira said and ran up the slope.

When she disappeared, Tyson snickered and laughed. "Tyson? What is it?" Kenny asked.

Tyson was laughing so hard his face was turning red. "Did. did. di. did you see the way Kai looked at her as she ran off?" Tyson collapsed on the ground and laughed harder. Kai's face slightly turned red.

"Are you blushing?" Max asked Kai.

"Kai is falling for an American!" Tyson laughed. David, Kavien and Jake all went to the stage and packed up. As they were about to leave, Tyson intercepted them. "Hey, do you know of any cheap places to stay?"

"We live with Alkira," Jake said.

"You'll have to take up accommodations with her," David mumbled.

"Then can we follow you?" Max asked.

"Sure, whatever," Jake said. The Bladebreakers followed the three BBD out of the battlegrounds and up the road to a large gateway. Jake opened a locket around his neck, pulled out a key and opened the gate. He put the key away and walked through the gate, the others followed him as they walked up to the front door of a mansion.

"Alkira lives here?" Max asked as he looked at the house in amazement.

"She comes from a strong bloodline," David said.

"Don't speak of her as if she's a dog," mumbled Kavien.

"He speaks?" Tyson asked.

"Of course I speak. What kind of a retard do you take me for?"

"Cool it Kav! He didn't call you a retard." David said. Jake ignored the quarreling and knocked on the door. It opened and a little girl, that was half the size of Tyson, stood there in a pink dress.

"Kyogome? Where's Alkira?" Jake asked.
