Well this is my first attempt at a fan fiction, and if it's bad don't blame me.

The bit-beast within

Chapter 1

"British airways welcomes you to England, thank you for flying with us and enjoy your stay. Please disembark the aircraft at the front. Goodbye."

The flight attendant replaced the intercom and opened the aeroplane door. A group of teenagers were at the front, all of them chatted excitedly. These were the Bladebreakers.

Tyson, aged fifteen, was the loudest of the six. He had won the team the Beyblade world championships twice for his team, and kept reminding them of this fact. He was not the tallest of the group but was moderately tall. He had dark blue hair that was sticking up under a baseball cap. He was wearing a crème yellow jumper with a blue body warmer on top. He had blue finger-less gloves and dark blue jeans. Tyson's Bit-beast was Dragoon.

Max was the youngest, at fifteen (being four months younger than Tyson), and most immature of the team. He was Tyson's best friend and since meeting each other the two had been inseparable. Max was originally from America and it showed, he had blonde hair that was big and stuck out at odd angles. His face was quite pale and had freckles on it, which were round his big blue eyes. He was wearing a blue T-shirt with yellow stars on it over a green top and pair of grey shorts. Max helped his team win the American tournament by defeating Michael of the All Starz in the last battle of the finals. His mother, Judy, worked as coach for the All Starz but Max still respected and loved his mother all the same. Max's bit-beast is Draciel which is a steadfast defence against anything.

Ray was the good humour of the group. He had Beybladed all his life in a village in China. He used to belong to the White tiger team, one of the best in Asia. When he was younger he left his hometown in search of new challenges. He found this in Tyson in the regional Japanese tournament. Ray agreed to join the team shortly after. He has many fans among the girls, but he had a special soft spot for his former team mate Mariah. He was wearing a black pair of trousers and a white top that reached down to his shins. He had black floppy hair, that was pushed back behind a red head band. He was wearing black gloves with the ying-yang sign on it. He was sixteen.

Kai, who looked around sixteen/seventeen was the oldest and strongest blader on the team. Seldom talking and always in the shadows, Kai not the friendlist of people. He always had advice on hand for his team-mates when they were in a sticky situation, although it was on the pretence that if the team lost he would loose his title as world champion. Kai was the tallest and best looking of the team. He had light blue floppy hair at the front and dark blue at the back. He had cold grey eyes that pierced anyone who looked at him for too long. He was quite powerfully built. He wore a purpley/black body hugging top, grey blue baggy trousers and long dark blue sleeves.

Hilary was the only girl on the team and up until recently knew nothing about Beyblading. She and Tyson fight constantly but now it is more play fighting. Hilary is the support in the team. She cheers very loudly for her team-mates and is always trying to offer advice, although it isn't always that great. Hilary wore a pink top and a white skirt. She was fifteen.

Last, but not least, is fifteen year old Kenny, the chief of all Beyblade knowledge. He and Tyson have know each other since before the creation of the Bladebreakers. Kenny being great at science has a knack for figuring out problems and strategies. He can tell any of the team their weaknesses and helps them with training programmes. The Chief can fix any Beyblade and even repair Beyblades that anyone else has given up on. His Bit-beast Dizzi was trapped in his computer one day, and she helps him with everything he does. She is especially apt with fixing Beyblades.

The Bladebreakers were the first people off the plane, and they made their way quickly to Baggage Claim.

"Well, at least this time we're in England we won't have to rush." Said Kenny, remembering the time they had been stuck in England after they had missed the boat to Russia on their way to the Russian championships. He was walking with everyone except Kai who was trailing behind as he usually did.

"I am going to thrash the opposition!" Yelled Tyson, punching the air, which caused a few passers by to give him looks that suggested they thought he was crazy.

"Don't forget you going to have to beat us too." Grinned Max at his best friend.

"Pft." Dismissed Tyson, "Piece of cake."

"You think?" Laughed Ray, "I can whoop you with my eyes closed, and my hands tied behind my back."

They arrived at Baggage reclaim and immediately Kai sat down and put his earphones in. Music blared out full blast. Tyson crept up behind him and took an earphone. He listened for about three seconds before letting it drop in disgust.

"Urgh! Mad Capsule Markets. Get some taste." He said

"Whatever." Said Kai before replacing his earphone. He folded his arms and shut his eyes. Giving full concentration to his thoughts. This was a position that Kai usually took up when in the company of others.

"…Whatever" imitated Tyson, "man, what a jerk!"

Max, Tyson, Hilary, Ray and Kenny all sat together on a bench. They talked about the upcoming competition Each Beyblader on the Bladebreakers had received a letter inviting them to attend the official BBA world ranking event. This consisted of tests that pitted the worlds strongest Beybladers against each other, in events of strength, attack, defence, speed and endurance. This was a chance to rank individual Beybladers rather than a team.

The baggage began to circle around the conveyer belt and people began to take their luggage off. Kai stood up and took his black nike bag off first then left.

"How rude is he!" Exclaimed Tyson indignantly, as he lifted his suitcase off the conveyer belt. His was the last to come, and was also the heaviest of the bunch. Tyson had to drag it all the way to the coach.

Kai was already on the bus and had taken up his usual seat at the back corner. The other Bladebreakers boarded the Bus in a hurry because the night was quite chilly. Tyson and Max sat next to each other, as did Hilary and Kenny, Ray sat on his own. The lights on the coach turned off and it left Heathrow airport. One by one they fell asleep as the journey had tired them out. Hilary managed to fall asleep on Kenny's shoulder, but while Tyson was making fun Kenny didn't seem to mind. Eventually everyone was asleep (with Tyson calling out phrases like 'when's dinner' and 'get your hands off my food').

Kai was standing in a room with a beystadium in the middle. A girl was in front of him, and another person opposite who he couldn't see. The girl was shorter than Kai but looked very much like him, same grey eyes and same floppy grey/blue hair. She was lying on the floor, looking at Kai sadly.

"I'm sorry, big brother. I couldn't stop them taking Animar." She whispered in a pained voice.

Kai knelt down by her side, and she took his hand with her blood soaked one.

"Look after Dranzer, and never forget me." Her hand went limp in Kai's. He shook her hand gently.

"Kari, come on. Don't leave me." Tears leaked out of his eyes and onto his sisters still form.

Kai woke with a start and swore under his breath. Tears were in his eyes, he wiped them away quickly incase anyone had seen him. They were traveling still and through the country by the looks of it. Half way alone the bumpy country lane, the bus shuddered to a stop. Kai walked to the front of the bus.

"What's happened?" He asked the driver.

"A light came out of no-where and the coach suddenly stopped." The Driver replied.

Kai saw the light in the forest at the side of the road. He pushed the emergency door open and ran our into the night. He followed the light through the trees. Eerie shadows were cast around him, but he didn't care. He came to a clearing. There were two people Bey-battling there. One was dressed all in black and nothing of the person could be seen. The other was a girl that looked seventeen. She was tall and she had quite long blonde/brown hair that was tied back and flicked out at the bottom. Most of her clothes were dirty and torn.

There were two beyblades slamming together on the floor, one black and one sky blue. The whole battle was illuminated by a fox bit-beast. The bit-beast obviously belonged to the person in Black because it was attacking the girl who was bent over protecting her face.

Kai stepped forward.

"Hey stop it." He yelled, releasing his Beyblade.

It slammed into the black Blade and knocked it into the owner's hand. The bit-beast disappeared into the blade. The person in black grunted and ran off. The sky blue blade span to a stop and the girl stood up. Her face was scratched and blood poured from a few cuts. Kai walked up to her as she picked up her Beyblade. She looked into his eyes and for a moment he felt connection.

"Are you okay?" He asked

"Yeah I'm fine. I could have handled it myself, I didn't need your help." She answered but sounded grateful.

She staggered forward and fainted into Kai's arms. He stood there for a while not sure what to do. but eventually picked her up and took her back in the direction of the coach. When he did get back Tyson and the others were awake and were trying to help the driver start the coach. Tyson turned and saw Kai.

"Kai, where on earth have you been?" Tyson asked, then saw the unconscious girl in his arms, "Okay, stuff that what on earth have you been doing?"

Then everyone turned and stared. Max looked at the girls face a realised he knew her, but didn't say anything.

"None of your business." He said, then turned to the driver "How long till we get to a town?"

"Well there's a house just back there, and I don't think the coach is going anywhere anytime soon." Said the driver who was covered in oil.

Kai walked back along the road. The others followed him. There were no streetlights on the road but they could see because it was a full moon. They reached a driveway which had a large iron gate at the entrance. Kai pressed the intercom on the wall.

The speaker crackled into life. "Yes?"

Kai pressed the button and spoke into the speaker. "Our bus has broken down, and we've got an unconscious girl that needs somewhere to lay down."

Tyson raised his eyebrows, he had never heard Kai speak so much. Nor had he ever seen Kai care so much about anything but beyblading. So it was a surprise to Tyson when Kai turned up with a girl in his arms.

The gates slowly swung outwards with a groan, and the lights along the drive lit up. The pale light illuminated the house. It had the look of spooky mansion. Ivy crept up the wall and blocked out some of the windows. The brick was of a faded red which shone pale pink in the lamp light. Tyson shivered

"That looks like somewhere the dark bladers would live."

"Ah! Don't say that." Said Kenny as they walked up the drive. He had a bad experience with the dark bladers some time ago, and still had nightmares about it.

"Man it's cold." Said Hilary, shivering because of the cold. Kenny handed her a jacket that he had brought with him. Hilary took it and put it on. "Thanks Kenny."

Max smiled and whispered to Ray, "I think someone's got a crush."

They arrived at a large oak door. Kai kicked it instead of knocking because his hands were full. It creaked open. Kenny looked apprehensive because, to him, it looked like something out of a horror film.

An older man in a butlers uniform opened the door. He had greying hair and his face was thin.

"Welcome to Hollyberry house. The owner of the house is away but his son is still here and I am sure he will be glad of company."

"Where-" began Kai indicating the unconscious girl in his arms.

"I will show you to a room. If the rest of you would like to wait here I will get my master for you." He said, walking inside. The rest followed. The entrance hall was very grand with many statues and paintings. A grand staircase swept up from the centre of the hall, carpeted in red like the rest of the hall.

The butler walked up the stairs. Kai followed.

"Wait a moment, I want to go too." Max said following after Kai.

"Max?" Said Tyson looking at him questioningly, like everyone else was.

"I'll explain later." He said as the butler and Kai went up the stairs. He followed straight after.

The butler stopped at a room and opened the door. After turning the light on, they went inside. It was a room carpeted and painted in royal blue. There was a large four poster bed, with a blue duvet in one corner and a sink in the other. Three chairs were beside the bed.

"Put the young lady on the bed, I will go and get someone who can help from downstairs." Said the butler before leaving the room. Kai laid the girl on the bed carefully. Max stood by watching. Kai sat down on one of the chairs. There was a deathly silence in the room. Max and Kai were not used to being together, both being the antithesis of the other. Max being on a constant sugar high and talking non-stop and Kai who was very unsociable and who's conversational skills consisted of one or two word answers. Max knew that Kai would not ask him why he was there because Kai always wanted his privacy and assumed everyone else did. Max began pacing the room to keep him occupied because Kai wasn't likely to talk to him. So it came as a surprise to Max when Kai spoke to him.

"Max, I suggest you sit down. You're gonna wear yourself up before she wakes up."

"Yeah maybe I will." He said sitting down next to Kai

"How long you known her then?" Asked Kai.

Max's jaw dropped, "How'd you know I knew her?"

They both turned as the door opened. A dumpy woman in an apron walked in. She had a homely, kind face. She wasn't old but her hair, which was pulled into a bun, was streaked with grey. She was carrying a box with her.

"Right," she said in a very well spoken English accent, "Are you two injured or is it just the young lady? And do either of you know her name?"

"No we're not injured. I don't know her name-" Answered Kai

"Her names Mia." Said Max. Kai inwardly smiled and knew he was right, Max did know her.

"Thank you." Said the woman and walked over to the bed. She checked Mia's pulse then took a cloth out of the box. She ran the cloth under the tap. She used the cloth to wipe away the blood from Mia's face. During this process Max fell asleep in his chair. Kai sat watching as the woman cleaned up Mia, but went out of the room when she changed her clothes. When Kai went back in the room the woman had turned off the lights.

"Leave the lights off, because I think your friend is still sleeping. Mia might wake up tonight so I suggest each of you take turns in watching. Come and get me from my room three doors down the hall when she does wake up." She said. Kai nodded and went in the room.

Max was still curled up in the chair. Mia was lying peacefully under the covers. Only her face was visible. There were still traces of blood on her face, but there were no visible cuts. Kai sat down and began the wait which he knew would come. He wouldn't wake Max because he knew Max needed sleep more than him.

Tyson was impatiently walking up and down the hall.

"How rude is this person. We've been here for ten minutes!"

"Still as impatient as ever I see, Tyson." Said a teenage boys voice. One that Ray, Tyson and Kenny knew. They whirled around, seeing exactly the last person they expected to see.
