This is my second Beyblade story. Hope you like it. It's also my first action/adventure story. Read & Review!
Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade.
Boris stood in a dark chamber. His gaze was fixed on a small black object; a beyblade. It was covered in a thick, clear glass case, as though too delicate to be exposed to the outside world. Boris smiled as he looked at the picture in the center of the blade. It showed a black bird, a phoenix with its wings spread and a fierce countenance.
Boris let out a devilish chuckle. "Soon, the Sacred Bit-Beasts will be no more and the world will be mine."
The sun shone down on the Granger dojo, highlighting the activity of its inhabitants. Kenny was on the dojo porch, feverishly typing away on his laptop, though the contents of his work were unknown to those around him. Daichi and Hiro were engaged in a practice bey-battle, with both sides evenly matched. The four-time world champion was inside, lying on his bed with his arms wrapped protectively around a girl. She had chocolate-brown hair that reached halfway down her back. Both had their eyes closed, indicating that they were asleep. The two would've stayed in their peaceful slumber, had it not been for an insistent knocking at the door.
Tyson moaned unhappily and slowly opened his eyes. Seeing his current position, Tyson slowly untangled himself from Hilary, and moved to open the door. He saw Hiro standing there with a cell phone in his hand.
"What is it Hiro?" he asked, sleep still evident in his voice.
"Mr. Dickenson is on the phone for you. He says it's urgent."
A look of puzzlement crossed Tyson's features, but he took the phone anyway. "Hey Mr. D, what's up?"
"Tyson, I have grave news. Our sources have obtained information that Biovolt is active again. You must come down to my office at once. I've already alerted Ray, Max and Kai."
"I'll be there as soon as I can." Tyson hung up the phone and gave it back to Hiro.
"Tyson, what did Mr. Dickenson say?" Hiro asked.
"He said that we need to see him ASAP. Apparently, Boris is up to his old tricks again."
"I'll alert the others." With that he turned and left.
Tyson turned when he heard a yawn. Hilary was sitting up and stretching. Apparently, the conversation had woken her up.
He smiled and sat down next to her. "I'm sorry Hil, did I wake you?"
"No. Did I miss anything?"
"Well, yes. Mr. Dickenson just called and he said that I need to visit with him."
"Really? What about?"
He hesitated before answering. "Biovolt is active again, which means Boris has something nefarious planned."
"That's terrible! Well come on, we've gotta get over there!" she said, heading toward the door.
"Hilary wait!" She turned back to him. "Maybe…maybe you should stay here."
"What do you mean?" A look of confusion was soon replaced by a look of sadness. "Oh, I see. You don't think I belong there."
"No, that's not it! You belong there just as much as any of us. It's just…anything that involves Boris could get really dangerous and I couldn't live with myself if something were to happen to you."
Hilary smiled at her boyfriend. "Thank you for looking out for me, but I want to be there to support you."
"Okay, but if it's anything that would put you in danger, I want you to stay behind."
When Tyson and the others walked in, they found Max, Ray and Kai all there. After the reunion (which Kai had essentially refused to participate in) Mr. Dickenson asked them all to sit down.
"Boys, as I told you all over the phone, we have reason to believe that Boris has resumed Biovolt activities. He has reactivated his facility in Russia and we've obtained surveillance tapes that show him in physical possession of something terrible."
"What is it?" Max asked.
"It is a force that I'm sure you are all familiar with; the dark bit-beast, Black Dranzer."
A collective gasp was heard around the room, from everyone except Daichi, Hiro and Hilary who all exchanged confused looks.
"What's Black Dranzer?" Hilary asked.
"It is an evil Dranzer essentially. Kai was once in possession of it and stole many bit-beasts with it before being defeated by Tyson and the others. It wasn't really his fault as Black Dranzer's darkness had corrupted his mind."
"I really don't want to be reminded of that," Kai said darkly.
"I apologize. Regardless, we must find out what he plans to do with it."
"Are we going to Russia?" Ray asked.
"In time, but you cannot do this alone. That's why I've contacted other teams to accompany you. The White Tigers, the PPB All-Starz, and the Saint Shields will be working with you. They've already arrived and will be waiting at the dojo."
"Good, we'll need all the help we can get," Tyson said.
"You will also need someone who knows the Abbey well enough to infiltrate it."
"Don't we have Kai for that?" Ray asked.
"Yes, but he is needed to fight with you, and we can't put him at risk of capture. I've arranged for an informant to accompany you to Russia to get inside the Abbey.
"Who's the informant?" Hiro asked.
"Tala Valkov. He'll be waiting for you when we're through here."
"Not to question your judgment Mr. D, but are you sure we can trust him?" Tyson asked.
"It's okay. Tala's no longer loyal to Boris," Kai said.
"You will all be heading to Russia tomorrow. Whatever that evil scientist is planning must be stopped."
