Disclaimer- I do not own anything of Beyblade. I only own my OC's and their bit beasts.
From Author- Alright! So it's finally time! Here is Earth and Fire 2: Test of Friendship, Test of Love. I hope everyone who enjoyed the first one will enjoy the sequel even more because, as I said many times before, I am extremely excited to write this sequel! I have so many ideas for it.
Now, most of the ideas are really like after the World Championships that happen in season three but, I do have some ideas that will be mixed in during the Championships.
Also, another note: there is no Daichi in this sequel. Yes, you read right. No Daichi. Why? Because 1. I find his character annoying and I'm sure most will agree and 2. He holds the earth style bit beast which, ya know, conflicts with Mikayla who has an earth style bit beast as well. That's one of the main reasons I gave Mikayla an earth bit beast was because I knew I would be taking out Daichi for the sequel.
Lastly, I'll be trying to fix up some things about my writing. Like 1. Not making it too stretched out and 2. When not making it stretched out, that I won't make it too rushed.
Okay, I think that's enough gab from me. So, enjoy the first chapter of Earth and Fire 2!
About This Story- The Bladebreakers have split up for the new, upcoming tag-team World Championships. They all want to prove themselves, including Mikayla, but she can't find it in herself to leave her brother. She also wants a chance to truly test her skill and battle the former members of the Bladebreakers, including Kai. She knows that she is in love with him but can't let that distract her from getting stronger, no matter how hard that may be. Both Kai and Mikayla need this to get stronger, not only in their blading, but in their love for one another as well. Can their love survive the betrayals, conspiracies, disappointments and heartbreaks that the World Championships has to offer? What will happen after the World Championships and will Kai and Mikayla's love persevere?
Six months have passed since the World Championships last year. Zeo had moved on to practice being as human as he could be and also continued his training with beyblading. He keeps in touch every once in a while but we're not exactly sure where he's taken off too. I think he decided to travel the world so I'm not quite sure where he is right now but I'm sure we'll hear from him.
Anyway, some other things have happened since the World Championships. The rest of the Bladebreakers decided to stay here in Japan because last year was such an experience that we couldn't separate from one another.
And, everyone had their sixteenth birthdays these past six months. But, everyone remembered mine and Tyson's the most. I mean, how could you forget Tyson slipping on a piece of ice that had dropped onto the ground and then skid across the wet, slippery floor over to the birthday cake that everyone else had spent hours making and destroy it? Hilary had chased Tyson down the street (who had no time to wipe the cake off himself) with a broom and didn't stop until they had run five blocks, turned around and came back to the house. By then, Hilary was too exhausted from running to slug Tyson.
But, on the other hand, Kai had given me a beautiful silver necklace with blue topaz's all around it. I had given him a silver chain for his birthday a few months back so this must've been his way of paying me back for it with a necklace of my own. I wear it every day and I see that Kai does the same with his silver chain.
Anyway, now the next World Championship was just around the corner and I was so excited to fight alongside the Bladebreakers once again. I knew we could win it again. Of course, Tyson kept gloating that he was going to win the Championships for the third time in a row and eventually, Hilary shut him up but pulling at his ear. I swear, those two are meant for each other.
So now, we're all just hanging out at the park, practicing our beyblading skills and stuff. I was talking with Hilary while Kenny was typing away at his laptop. Tyson and Ray were battling while Max waited for his turn and Kai was lying in the grass behind us.
"So, Mikayla, how are you and Kai doing?" Hilary asked but made sure it was only loud enough so only the two of us could hear the conversation. I smiled.
"We're doing just fine, thank you." I said, fiddling with the necklace with my fingers. Hilary noticed and asked me a question I wasn't expecting.
"So, did he say it yet?"
"Say what?"
"You know…" She leaned closer. "The 'L' word." She whispered the last part. My eyes went a little wide. In all honesty, I never really worried about that part of our relationship because Kai showed how much he cared about me in his own way but….
"No, he hasn't said it yet." I confessed. Hilary sighed.
"Well, I'm sure he does love you." She said. I smiled and said nothing, turning to watch Max butt in when Tyson and Ray's match ended so he could battle next. Then, I thought of something to ask Hilary.
"What about you and Tyson?" She turned to me and gave me a confused look.
"What about me and him?"
"Oh c'mon Hil, it's so obvious you like him."
"I do not!"
"Do too."
"Do not!"
"Do too."
"DO NOT!"
"Then why are you blushing?"
That got her. After all, it was true. Her face had turned red as soon as I said the word, "like." But, because Hilary was so stubborn, she wouldn't say anything and just turned back to watch the boys battle. I grinned. Score one for Mikayla Granger.
Next thing I knew, a new beyblade came out of nowhere and struck Tyson's, Ray's and Max's beyblades, causing them to fly back into their owner's hands. We all gasped at what just happened and stared at the green beyblade that was spinning in a circle between the boys.
"Whose beyblade is that?" Ray asked. Suddenly, there was a chuckle. We all turned to see where it came from and then, a guy, probably about a few years older than us appeared from behind the bushes. He looked about maybe 5'9" and had light blue hair tied back into a low ponytail and reddish brown eyes, similar to mine and Tyson's. He wore dark blue pants and a red and black shirt. He had elbow and knee pads on as well as some other type of padding covering his chest and abdominal area. It kind of looked like football padding without the jersey over it. He also had a mask that covered his face from his nose down. He also had a beyblade launcher attached to his right arm.
"Who the hell are you?" Tyson demanded. The man stepped up and caught his beyblade as it returned to him.
"I go by the name Jin of the Gale." What the heck? What kind of name was that? Sounded more like a stage or a musical group name.
A moment later, the Tyson and Jin got their beyblades out and launched them onto the ground. I got up from my seat on the bench to get a closer look at this match. Who was this guy? Was he just another amateur blader who thought he could beat Tyson? No, something was different about him. And yet, something also felt familiar about him too. But, what was it? I couldn't place it.
Suddenly, Jin readied his launcher again and shot another green beyblade at Dragoon. What? This guy was a cheat! No way was I going to stand by that!
"Hold on, Tyson!" Ray said as he and Max readied their launchers, ready to assist their friend. I stopped them, however, by launching my blade quicker than the both of them. I blocked the second green blade just in time too because it was about to slam into Dragoon.
"So, coming to assist your big brother, eh, Mikayla?" Jin said. I glared at him. Normally, I'd be asking him something like, "How do you know my name?" but that would be stupid. A lot of people knew my name now because I was at the Championships last year alongside my brother.
"That's what family does, Jin. Not that you would know anything about that!" I shot back, pushing back his blade. Jin suddenly closed his eyes and sighed a little.
"I know more than you think." He replied in a whisper but I was still able to hear him. I blinked. What the heck did that mean? And, why did I have this nagging feeling in the back of my head about this guy?
Ah, push it aside, Mikayla. Focus. You need to stay focused and beat this jerk. I continued to slam into his blade and he responded right back with some slams of his own. I had to give him credit though. Being able to control two separate battles with two separate blades took some skill.
But then, all four of our blades slammed into each other and made them fly back across the ground. As we retrieved our blades, we noticed that Jin had disappeared. What the heck was all that about? Something wasn't right about that guy.
"Are you guys alright?" Kenny asked once Tyson and I put our blades away. "We're fine, Chief but who was that guy?" Tyson asked. Everyone shook their heads.
"I have no idea but we need to watch out for him." Ray said. "Yeah, he seemed like a really good blader. He's not to be taken lightly." Max added. Suddenly, Dizzi popped up with some big news about the World Championships.
"Here, let me play the clip from the BBA press conference." She said and loaded up the video. It showed Mr. Dickinson, the head of the BBA, sitting in a chair with microphones in front of him, surrounded by the media. He began explaining about the World Championships and how it was going to, again, be a tag-team championship. It sounded great so far.
"I also would like to say that, like before, the players will need to compete in preliminary matches to determine if they could move onto the actual tournament. Now, this is how it's going to work…" Mr. D said and then, something popped up on the screen behind him. It showed a roster with the words "Block A" on one side and "Block B" on the other.
"Each player will participate in the preliminary rounds, either in Block A or Block B. The winner of Block A will team up with the winner of Block B for the upcoming tournament." Mr. D finished and then, Dizzi shut down the video file because all that was left was the media taking more pictures and asking more questions and such.
"Wow, Mr. Dickinson sure knows how to make a beyblade tournament more interesting and challenging." I commented once Kenny shut his laptop. Tyson pumped his fist.
"You know it, Mikayla! This tournament is going to be sweet! I can almost taste my next Championship title!" He said, making us all sweat drop. I'm so glad I didn't inherit that annoying and inflated ego.
While the others talked it out about the tournament, I walked over to Kai who was now standing up on the grass a few feet away. He must've stood up to watch what was going on with that Jin of the Gale guy.
"Hey, did you hear?"
"Yeah, it's a tag-team tournament again."
"Yeah, I know. It sounds like a lot of fun but challenging too. I wonder who's going to be the two that will tag up at the end of the preliminaries." I really did wonder. If all five of us were going to enter into the tournament preliminaries, who was going to wind up on top? I know I wanted to participate in the tournament and I'm sure everyone else did too but, who was going to make the cut?
"I guess we won't find out until the actual preliminaries." Kai said. I nodded and looked back over at my friends, who were still talking and wondered:
Why am I suddenly getting a bad feeling about this?
