"Hey~! Gimme back my blade you big mean bullies!" Young Rio said, straight blonde locks swinging back behind her tiny body as she tried to helplessly reach for the blade being torturously held by the bigger bully.
"Sorry little girl. These toys are for big boys only." He laughed, teasingly holding it in front of the blonde's face, and simply pulled it away once she had felt so close to grasping it back.
Rio had wanted to cry. Despite this, unlike a lot of girls she wasn't going to give the mean bully the time of day by doing so. So instead, she kept fighting, hoping that it would pay off by some chance.
"Hey ugly. Why don't you pick on someone your own size." A new confident voice called out. It sounded like a kid's voice too.
Turning around, the chocolate eyed blonde saw a boy, that looked around her age with dark blue hair and big auburn eyes.
Growling, the bully sneered and walked towards the newcomer leering down at him.
"Oh yeah? And whatcha gonna do about it hm?"
"I'll blade you for that girl's blade." He said, the grin slowly growing on his face, seeming to get more confident if it was possible. Rio stared curiously at the new boy, wondering why would he jump into her rescue when he didn't even know her?
Before the mean bully can even say anything, an adult's voice had cut in as a middle aged woman approached the boy.
"William! Are you picking on kids again!?" She exclaimed, as both Rio and the other boy started to snicker.
William?
"B-But mom..I-I uh-"
"That's it mister. TWO WEEKS. No TV or toys. I'm so sorry for the trouble my son caused you. Here's your toy back." The stern mother stated, giving a kind look to you and handing your undamaged blade.
She had dragged the horrible bully as the blue headed boy started to snicker.
"Gee what a wuss." He snickered as he blinked when seeing that Rio was staring at him still though.
"T-Thanks...that was .. cool of you. The name's Rio." She had mustered out, wondering why her voice came out more soft spoken than what she was aiming for.
How ever, the boy had grinned, adjusting his trade mark cap on his head before giving a thumbs up.
"And the name's Tyson. You're looking at the future world's best beyblader."
