Kit: Hiya folks, I'm back with a brand-spankin'-new story! This time, it's Beyblade-based!
Sora: Beyblade?
Kit: a- yup. And it stars the coolest beybladers.
Sora: Who?
Kit: My own, the Skyriders! A team of 6 OC's, their leader is Sonya, a blader with a powerful bitbeast.
Sora: What is it?
Kit: Like I'd tell you. Read and find out.
Sora: :pouts: Party-pooper.
Kit: :blows a rasberry at him: Before I forget, I do not, in any way, own Beyblade. The only part of Beyblade I own is my team the Skyriders and their bitbeasts. Now that's that said, on with the fic!
Chapter 1
Sonya walked down the street, flanked by her beyblade gang, the Skyriders; named for the aerial- based bit beasts they battled with. Including her, there was six: her best friends, Sasha and Talis, Talis' sister Sam, and the twins: Mitch and Mark. The only thing that distinguished one twin from the other was how they dressed: Mitch wore a backwards baseball cap while his brother wore a bandanna around his head.
They were walking past a parts shop when a flyer caught Sasha's eye. The raven- haired teen stopped to check it out.
"Yo Sonya, check this." Sonya retraced her steps to look at the flyer. It was announcing an upcomming beyblade tournament and that spots were still open. Around the announcement where pictures of teams who were already competing. They recgonized the Bladebreakers, Magestics, White Tigers, Demolition Boys, All Stars, and the Saint Shields.
"Well what do ya know? Looks like spots are still open." Sonya's amber feline eyes gazed around at her team. Sasha was drooling over Lee from the White Tigers and Sam was drooling over Bryan from the Demolition boys. Sonya rolled her eyes. The boys weren't any better. All three of them had found a different female blader to drool over; Emily of the All Stars, Mariah of the White Tigers, and that girl from the Saint Shields. Sonya sighed, rolling her eyes again. That's when the blond blader from the Magestics caught her eye. She recgonized him. His name was Enrique if she remembered. She had met him once about a year and a half ago. He had challenged her to a battle and she had lost. To make it up to her, he had offered to buy her lunch. From that moment on, they had become friends. They kept in touch often.
Sonya decided to register the Skyriders so she could see him again and maybe introduce her friends to their crushes.
"Hey guys?" Sonya lightly tugged locks of hair to get their attention. Blinking, they all looked at her. "How about I register the Skyriders? I can register us right here."
The rest of the team cheered and high- fived. "Alright! Yeah! Whoo-hoo!"
Sonya noticed Sasha was looking doubtful. "What's the matter Sas?" She asked as they walked inside.
"It's just that I'm doubting our ability to compete with the most well-known bladers in the world." She replied, picking up an attack ring and looking at it. Sam put her arm around Sasha's shoulders.
"Oh come on! You can't seriously be thinking that!" The brunette laughed.
The clerk at the counter looked up as they approached. "How may I help you?"
"We're here to register for the tournament." Sonya told him.
"Alright." His fingers typed away at the computer. "Team Name?"
"Skyriders."
"How many?"
"Six."
"Names?"
"Sonya, Sasha, Samantha, Talis, Mitch, and Mark."
"Bit Beast Type?"
"Aerial- based."
"Names?"
"I have the twins: Dragiel and Dracona," He held up a hand, halting her.
"The Twins?" He asked, interested.
"Yup, a pair of bit beast brothers that didn't want to be seperated, so they were sealed in the same bit chip." Sonya explained, pulling out her blade and handing it to him. The bit showed two dragons back to back. One was a red color and the other was black.
He handed it back. "First time I've seen two bit beasts in one chip." He told her.
"It's the only one I know of." She replied.
"Real handy in tag battles, I bet." He told her.
"Oh yeah." Sonya grinned, nodding happily. She was the tag battle master in the neighborhood.
Later that evening, Sonya and the Skyriders were hanging out at her house talking about the upcomming tournament. Sonya had pulled up the satistics of every blader that had entered on her laptop. She turned it around so the rest of the team could look.
"Well guys? Do you think we have a chance?" She asked. The team browsed through the staistics.
"Chances are pretty good." Mark and Mitch choursed.
"Now you guys do realize that since we're in a tournament, we have to up the practice time, right?" Sonya told her friends.
"Yeah, we kinda figured that." Sam retorted. Sonya's laptop dinged. Her feline ears perked up and she looked at the clock. It was late.
"Mail? At this hour?" Sonya mused, turning the computer around to check her mail. Her eyes opened in suprised glee as a face popped up. The rest of the team gathered around her.
"Enrique! Hi!" The team chorused.
"Sonya, sup?" He smiled.
"Word spreads like wildfire, don't it?" Sasha laughed.
"I take it you heard Enri?" Sonya asked.
"You think you can take us?" He challenged, grinning.
"We can sure try!" Sam grinned. Enrique laughed.
"How are you going to get to the tournament?" He asked. Sonya's ears flattened.
"No clue." She admitted. She turned to Talis who kept an eye on their funds. "Do we have enough money to charter a plane?"
Talis thought for a moment. "For all of us? Don't think so."
"That's what I thought." Enrique replied. "Since it's here in Paris, how about I send our private plane to pick you up?"
"You'd do that?" Talis asked.
"You'd do the same thing if we were in your position, right?" He asked.
Sonya nodded. "True, we would."
"It's settled then. I'll send the plane for you about two weeks before the tournament."
"Where would we stay?" Mitch asked. Sonya just stared at him.
Her hand snaked out and whapped him upside the head "You moron! The Magestics are rich mothers! The house they live in is friggen huge! They could probably house all teams in the tournament and still have room to spare."
Mitch rubbed the back of his head. "Point made." Enrique laughed.
"She's right. You guys will stay here with us. And while you're here, you guys can see the sights." He added.
"Paris, the city of fashion!" Sam and Sasha swooned.
"Paris, the city where you can drive on the wrong side of the road!" Mitch and Mark chorused, exchanging high-fives. Sonya rolled her eyes. The twins could see amusement in the oddest stuff.
"You guys can't even drive." Talis retorted.
Sonya grinned, "The reason why you're sending the plane early?"
"I wouldn't want you guys to leave Paris and not see the sights." He smiled.
"What about training?" Mitch asked. This time it was the twins that popped him.
Sonya hung her head. "Mitch, just shut up. We'll train with them." She told him.
