Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade. Only my characters and plot.

Set two years after G-Revolution. Bladebreakers are back together again, as secrets of their past unfold. With new friends and lives at stake, the Bladebreakers face the most dangerous challenge of their lives!

[Author's note: I postponed the occurrence of BEGA by a year for the plot of the story. It happens a year after the championship, but not immediately. This results in the cancellation of the championship that should've been conducted that year. So, there hasn't been a championship for two years.]

This is my first shot at a fanfic or even writing something. I hope you like it!

Kai

"You've seen her?"

"That girl? Yep…beautiful, isn't she? That's so not fair…"

"That new girl…who does she thinks she is huh?"

"Come on, you're just jealous."

"Yo…you've seen that goddess?"

"I did. I'll get her for sure…"

"Not with me around."

Just who is that 'new girl'? Not that I care. It's just another addition to the collection here. I haven't seen her yet. I'm not interested either.

"Kai! Stop," Tyson called out.

Max and Ray were with him. And the 'new girl'. I guess she's the one, because I haven't seen her around before. But, why is she with them? Isn't she a little out of place?

"This is Katya. Katya, this is Kai," Tyson said to her looking at me.

She held out her hand. My hand shook hers, involuntarily. She is a goddess. What!

What am I even thinking?

"He doesn't need an introduction, does he? You're quite famous for lots of things," she was smiling at me.

I was right. She's no different from those sluts. "But I really don't care, you know. Not until you beat me in my game," she said to me.

"What?" She completely lost me at that 'my game' thing. What kind of game was it?

"She's a blader, Kai. And very powerful too. I've seen her stats. I challenged her, she says she only wants to fight you," Tyson clarified it for me.

"Not interested."

I simply turned and walked out of there. But then a blade stopped me. A very powerful spin, the wind around it said it all.

"You're just like people say. But, I already said I don't care. Fight me."

Interesting.

"Tonight, 9 o'clock at the bridge," I said turning towards her.

"I hope you'll turn up," she said, as her blade returned to her.

"You'll find me there."

What was that? Why did I even accept her challenge? It was tempting though. What was tempting Kai? She or her challenge? Anyway I'll find out tonight.

Katya

He was something…he was definitely something.

"So you up for it?" Tyson asked me. Max, Ray, Tyson, Hillary and I were sitting near the bridge where I was going to fight Kai. The stream water was cool and pleasant.

"Yup…" I said staring at the flowing water.

"That was very brave of you, you know?" Hillary said.

"Ummm…I've always wanted to fight him. When I saw the final of that championship, I mean Tyson's third consecutive win, I decided I would enter the championships and fight Kai. I know it should be Tyson, but somehow I was kind of rooting for Kai to win. I don't know if I can defeat him, but just fighting him would be great. But then…"

"What happened?" Max asked.

"BEGA happened, and we didn't have a championship after that."

"You were a BEGA member?"

"Nope…even if my life was at stake I wouldn't join something like that," I said turning towards Tyson.

"So you're a fan of Kai, huh?" Ray asked with a mischievous smile.

"Fan? What fan? I just…I like his style of blading…" I was blushing, I knew I was. I'm so stupid. They started laughing.

"Guys! Stop it. Why are you laughing? That wasn't a joke," it was so embarrassing.

"Sorry, it's the first time we've met a girl saying she likes Kai," Hillary said.

"Hey, when did I say I liked Kai? Don't say such things. It'll create misunderstandings," that's ridiculous. I only like him as a blader.

"Fine, fine, you don't. Okay?" Max put an end to it.

Kai

She hasn't come yet. Will she even come? She looked pretty serious back then. Then why isn't she here? You're early. I knew the answer.I checked my watch and it was 8:45.

"You're early," her voice came from behind me. I was lying on the soft grass staring at the sky. I got up and turned around to look at her. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a pullover, track shoes. With her hands buried in her pockets she was just standing there, waiting for me to say something.

"I said I'll be there…"

"Let's start then"

"That's it? Only you?"

"Did you expect anybody else?"

"I thought Tyson and Kenny would tag along."

"Well, it's good nobody else is here. It would be humiliating when you lose in front of them."

"Oh really…then better put your blade where your mouth is…"

She clenched her fist. She was angry. I saw her blade in that hand.

"Let's do it…"

She drew out her launcher and inserted the cord. Fixed the blade to the launcher,

"3…2…1…let it rip!"

The fight started. She was powerful! Yes, her blade was power packed. Her blade created a small whirl wind like a shield to itself and came towards me head on. What a lame move! I dodged it easily, in the blink of an eye. At least I thought so. The next moment, her blade struck me with full force. She followed the path I used for dodging instead of moving in her original direction. Sharp reflexes, high speed…she's more than what she appears to be. She's no ordinary blader.

This time I attacked her. Surprisingly, she didn't dodge, faced me head on. Is she crazy?

That is when the surprise attack came.

"Zerona! Engulf him!" she made her move.

The wind rose fiercely and did what she said. It engulfed my blade. I couldn't see it; it was completely hidden by the wind.

Suddenly my blade was shot up into the sky, and her blade followed attacking my blade with quick, yet strong attacks. It was like her blade was flying.

I've had enough.

"Dranzer! Attack!"

Dranzer retaliated and started attacking. She winced. My attack was working.

"Dranzer! Finish her!"

"Not so easy Kai…Zerona! Flame Vortex!"

Flame Vortex? The bit beast came out. It was a phoenix! A phoenix? A magnificent one, golden and red…

My blade lost its hold. The vacuum of her vortex was sucking it in and scorching it.

"Dranzer…Blazing Gig!" The fiery feathers shot out and hit her blade. She increased the intensity of her attack and so did I. There was a sudden blast and both the blades shot up into the sky. They fell down together…

Her blade stopped spinning and so did mine. It was a tie.

"No way! You lost!" Tyson appeared out of nowhere, Ray and Hill were pulling him down. Kenny was there too, with his laptop.

"Where did you guys come from? You could've just accompanied me right? Why were you spying on us?" she asked, narrowing her eyes at them.

"Well…we didn't wanna disturb you," Tyson said smiling.

"Huh?" she paused for a moment, "you wanna die Tyson?"

"Heh…not really…that was just a joke."

Now Kenny spoke, "Actually I was gonna test my new detector. But Tyson suggested that I could check whether this thing could be used for spying…you see with this extension, I can detect signals from about a 20m distance. This is weak. I should be able to improve on it."

"Oh…I don't exactly understand what you're saying, but why is everybody hiding?"

"That…we had a bet on something. Kenny and I won it," Hill said.

"And what was that?" I asked.

"Who was gonna arrive first? You or Katya? We came at around 8:30 and were searching for place to hide the laptop. That's when we saw you coming. It was surprising to find you come first; moreover half an hour early? So we decided to hide and watch what happens next."

Katya looked at me.

"I had nothing else to do" I said turning away.

"Now we owe them a treat at The Scoops. It was a tie? You were great Katya." Max said with an excited voice.

"Thank you Max," she smiled.

I cleared my throat. "Yeah you were great too, Kai," Max winked at me.

"Not that. Katya, if I'm not mistaken your bit beast…it is a phoenix, isn't it?"

I asked her.

"Yeah, it is," it was a plain reply.

"It was magnificent. It was beautiful when it came out of the blade. Very beautiful," Hillary sounded amazed.

Beautiful just like you, Katya. In the moonlight, with her long auburn hair flowing down her shoulders, in the cold breeze…she looked like an angel from the heavens. This is the first time I've felt about a girl like this. This is crazy. Snap out of it Kai.

'You've fallen for her, 'I heard a voice in my head.

I didn't, Dranzer. Don't make it even more complicated.

'Is it already complicated enough?'

Don't mess with my mind.

'I'm talking about your heart.'

Her eyes, her smile, he voice…every thing about her captivated me. Is it what they call love? But I don't want it. I just don't…

'You are fighting with yourself Kai. Don't do it. It'll be good for you. Why don't you try living a life at least once?' Dranzer sounded serious.

Good for me? It won't be good for her. For me to live a life, I can't ruin hers.

Dranzer didn't answer. Because even he knew that I was right. I can't love or be loved. I must not.

Review please! I'd love to get some suggestions from my readers!

Suspense is the key to my story. Lots of twist and turns greet you as you read on.
