Chapter one

At night Russia was cool and calm and entirely cold but within the BBA building the central heating was on full blast, everyone was in a panic and some, those who knew what Mr Dickinson was due to say, were cool. There were only a remote few that knew, such as the all girls group talking in low voices. Kai found himself always watching them because they were an unusual group and he figured with disdain that like his team, they had their own technician.

That technician though wasn't playing with a lap top or fiddling around with her friend's beyblades. Across from her Diana ripped open the plastic covering of a ready muddled rubix cube and slid it across the table to their black haired friend. She wasn't smiling nor was she smirking but she looked like she was challenging her friend. Her green eyes blazed ferociously and her friend chuckled.

"We'll time you this time," Diana said, glancing at the girl seated to her left, "you ready Lex?"

Lex looked up and smiled, nodding her head and pulling up her sleeves, over exaggerating the aim of their challenge. The girls laughed until Diana yelled 'go' and the stopwatch beeped having been started by the seventeen year old. The other girl had already snatched up the rubix cube and was currently staring at it.

They watched in amazement as their prodigy's hands moved quickly over the rubix cube, colours spinning and joining like colours. "So Voltaire is out of prison and the entire world is in danger." Lex - the blue haired girl – sighed rested her head on her arm, watching, still impressed at her friend's capabilities with such a complicated puzzle.

No one answered until the blonde spoke up, "Where's She-Ying?" Diana asked glancing around the crowded room, "I don't see her."

"Where else would She-Ying be if she's in a crowded area?" Zuri replied slamming down the solved puzzle and smiling lazily as Lex jumped up and yelled in delight as the European girl defeated her previous record. "She'd be against a wall or in a corner somewhere avoiding the public." She added motioning to the wall behind her, "Ray Kon from the Bladebreakers is trying to calm her."

"He doesn't seem to be succeeding," Lex mumbled, watching with lazy eyes their frightened friend.

"Yea," Diana agreed and then nudged the girl with her elbow, "go get her and bring her back to the table." Lex glared slightly but stood up as commanded and weaved her way through the enormous crowd.

Kai glanced at Tala whom he knew was also watching the girls and raised an eyebrow, 'who were these girls?' was the question that both wanted to ask. The black haired one whom had completed the puzzle seemed to be highly talented, probably impressively smart. They knew the other girl, the one with the brown-blonde hair as Diana Skye, captain of Masquerade. The one that had left the table they knew nothing about but from what they could see, she was easily friendly but grew just as easily bored. Another member of their team wasn't present at the table but was currently being comforted by Ray against a wall; they recognised her fear of large crowds.

They weren't just studying those girls in that team but every other team in the vicinity but no other team proved to be as dangerous as those girls whom were shrouded in mystery. Every other team either competed in previous tournaments or were known by one or two people, which soon meant everyone would know them within hours. There were flaws in that all girls' team though and they could easily spot them.

Each girl valued independence and two of them were at least holding a major secret. One liked to run away and hardly trusted her friends and the other was bossy. One held a fiery temper and the one that was always calm could easily annoy them. They worked perfectly in synch, battling and probably beyblading but what they were like behind the scenes was another story. They looked like a happy, friendly group but that was the exterior and hardly anyone knew them to be so sure. It would be just too perfect if they were perfect.

She-Ying glanced at the people, still keeping in her line of sight her team and trying in vain to ignore the boy beside her. Her heart leapt in her throat as someone squeezed by her. She shut her eyes and tried to stay calm for her fear of touch was greater than her love for beyblading. She wasn't too sure why she was so afraid but she had an inkling that it was due to some traumatic event that occurred during her childhood.

She gritted her teeth and just told herself to bare it a little while longer. When the person wasn't pressed up against her anymore she sighed and shook her head, allowing her bangs to escape into her eyes.

If she had it her way she wouldn't even be present for the so called meeting. She would be in their hotel room annoying room service and ordering large amounts of ice cream and basking in the silence without Lex or Diana fighting over the television. She liked silence, it was like her drug and when the other girls were around she'd sit, listening to Zuri going on about her family. Zuri was second to being the quietest, it's why they understood partially understood each other.

You alright?

She clutched her head slightly, massaging the temples and glaring at everyone in the vicinity. The voice that had entered her head made it throb painfully and she bit her lip to keep from gasping. Her eyes watered slightly as she began to panic even more, claustrophobic and still frightened. "So…many people," her voice wavered as she dug her nails deeper into her cheek.

"Did you say something?" The boy beside her tilted his head in her direction and she shook her head, silver hair swinging wildly around her face.

Ray watched her curiously knowing that the girl was distressed but knowing no way of helping her. She was stricken and he noticed the cut she inflicted on herself from her long nails, "calm down now," he said softly, not touching her. He remembered the horrified look when someone slid past her.

She-Ying glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and felt some what relieved but still hating the situation she found herself in. "I-I don't like this one bit," her eyes widened and she rubbed her temples rapidly.

Ray sighed and gave up his attempt at calming the girl. She was slightly insane from his point of view, drawing blood from pressing her nail tips to her cheek and talking to herself or what he supposed was her bitbeast. The girl was afraid of crowds and delirious. He wished he knew who her friends were.

"She-Ying," a blue haired girl appeared in front of them, smiling softly and a look of concern but understanding etched into her features, "come on. Diana wants you to come to the table."

Both girls left and Ray stood confused and slightly hurt that he received no acknowledgement from both of them, neither a greeting nor farewell. He rolled his eyes at their rudeness and pushed himself off the wall, making his own way towards his team. He smiled and waved at his home team, blushing slightly at Mariah who smiled coyly at him.

"Ray," Kai's voice was curt but gruff and he sat incredibly still with his arms crossed over his chest, "that girl is part of that team. Who was she?"

Ray frowned at the question and shrugged, "I didn't get her name but she seemed…a little crazy and deranged."

"She looked it," Hilary spoke up whilst playing with Tyson's pony tail.

Kai glanced at the team again and felt his heart leap into his throat having not expected catching the eyes of one of the girls. The eyes were amethyst like and stood out like a beacon in the crowd. He couldn't look away and found himself staring at her, taking in her appearance and wondering why he was reacting like a puppy.

She was remotely pretty and he'd seen his fair share of pretty girls. Her hair was similar to his; dark blue with light blue except hers was a long streak and his was a tuft of hair. A chocker with what appeared to be a black gem glimmered on her long neck that she scratched at uncomfortably before turning around to her friends. His mahogany eyes travelled down her body taking in her outfit and slender body and widening at the tattoo on her lower back of two black wings.

"Wow, you've got nice taste Kai," Ray mumbled out the corner of his lips, smirking slightly and avoiding the jab to his side.

"She's pretty, I'll give her that."

"But whether she's good with a blade is what will steal your heart." Ray chuckled at Max's declaration.

The entire hall seemed to quieten down and the anxiety in the room seemed to have increased as Mr Dickinson made his slow approach towards the podium. He looked grave and three or four people were hurrying around him, alarm evident on their faces and trying in vain to make the old man stop from making his speech. People talked curiously about this but most were just waiting for the man to talk.

Zuri glanced up at the old man and then looked around the assembly hall; everyone had the same look of concentration on their faces and she smiled softly, verging on giggling at their idiotic expressions. She shook her head and tapped her foot to the song that had been stuck in her head for hours; she mouthed the lyrics with her head resting on her hand.

"…we will need your help beybladers. All of your help. This is a team effort and if the police force is unable to capture him then you are next on the agenda-"

"Zuri!" Diana whispered, "get your laptop out, he's going to give us details on the scene."

Zuri awoke from her daydream and sat up straighter while pulling out a pen and notebook from her handbag, "I left the laptop in the hotel room," she replied to their confused gazes but they shrugged and returned to staring at the front.

"He escaped at approximately 11:26pm last night from Lefortovo prison and it was known he had an accomplice. Voltaire is weak but his state of mind is the same as it were when he was captured. He couldn't have gotten far but teams are investigating that. We will wait for further news. During the next few days if you gain any information or leads or been in contact with him, contact me immediately!" Mr Dickinson's gaze travelled to Kai, still looking grave and incredibly old.

He thought that it was ironic that on his last year of being Head of the BBA that everything would go astray. He should had considered retirement the year before which had gone so smoothly with no person or organisation trying to take over the world. He felt a little scared but knew that they could always count on one group; the one group had previously out done many criminals and villains in the past so it should be expected of them again this year. Kai was only willing to serve revenge on his grandfather after all.

People glanced at Kai knowing he was the man's successor and that upon Voltaire's capture he had inherited everything the man owned. Kai had chosen to keep the important things but had burnt the rest. He was currently a millionaire or more so than before, yet everyone had the same thought processes in mind. Voltaire would go after Kai.

"Do you think he will?" Lex asked softly.

"Nope," Zuri replied, reading over the information. "Voltaire lost everything and he knows it. He's not going to go after the kid unless he needs him and he doesn't need the money. He's a Russian mafia boss and could inherit all his money again from carrying out mafia jobs." Lex mulled over this and nodded her head agreeing with the smarter girl.

Russian mafia bosses were no doubt dangerous, blood thirsty and power hungry and just knowing that sent a shiver of excitement through her and she couldn't wait to get started. They would obviously do the impossible by 'trying' to catch Voltaire but they always went for the impossible and they always succeeded. They were just too good, thought Lex.

Her eyes followed Kai as he left the room obviously in a bad mood. The tension in the room increased when the door slammed shut. She remembered when their eyes met and the feeling of butterflies that, to her, were only characteristic when she was falling for someone. It was just her luck that it was the unreachable guy with the stoic attitude and devilish looks.

"Wonderful," Lex mumbled dejectedly turning towards her friends and pouting, "what a mess aye? Looks like we're on a mission." They let out a sigh and stood, taking the meeting as over and heading off in the direction of their hotel.

Tyson hugged Hilary to him as they made their cold way across the road, both in a contemplative silence. Hilary fretted over Kai's whereabouts, knowing well that the boy probably wouldn't return to the hotel room until the middle of the night. She was slightly scared remembering Boris and then those events that occurred years ago. Although she had never met Kai's grandfather she had heard enough bad stories about him to know he was an evil man.

"Nothing to worry about Hilary, we defeated him last time so we can do it again." She felt like berating him and striking down his confidence. As his girlfriend she knew that when he was over confident it would always led to his defeat and his mild confidence made him win. He was currently over confident and she didn't want him to be 'defeated'.

"Tyson, he's been in prison for years so I think he's spent that entire time trying to concoct some form of revenge or world domination again." She replied logically, her eyes glancing up at him and taking in his masculine features.

Tyson grew from scrawny and completely lanky to broad shouldered and well toned. He had long since worn a red jacket or yellow t-shirt and instead opted for button up shirts or just normal t-shirts. His hair was still a unruly and long and he only wore his cap once in a while.

The same could be said for Max who toned down his choice in bright coloured clothing and diet high in sugar. His hair was shorter and more styled than its usual spikes of blonde. He gained some maturity, still mature than Tyson but still just as childish, he was also the tallest of them and his American features still made him look babyish, "I'm hungry guys," the blonde mumbled, yawning but rubbing his stomach.

"We'll order room service," Ray said from the back of the group and watching Kenny curiously as he walked and talked to his laptop.

Due to Hilary's amazement and happiness, Kenny had gained some sense of style and had opted for smaller sized glasses and stylish button up shirts with jeans. He was significantly taller than she and to all their amazement had received the same amount of fan girls Kai would gain on a weekday.

"Hey Chief what are you working on?" Ray asked.

"Just hacking into the prison's security," he replied, running a hand through his auburn hair. "Dizzi have you completed it yet?" He asked his laptop.

Hold on Kenny, I'm almost done.

They made in soundly to the hotel and were making their short walk towards their rooms.

"This is absolutely ridiculous," a girl's voice made them stop dead in their tracks and Tyson and Max fought over each other to get closer to the voice. The rest just stood curiously at the back, knowing it was wrong to snoop.

"This is eavesdropping," Hilary mumbled, "and immoral, lets keep going." She tugged on Tyson's arm but stopped at the look of determination on the seventeen year olds' face.

"How the hell are a bunch of teenagers supposed to save the world and from a mad, crazy man to boot?"

"It's only because not many adults beyblade. Mr Dickinson believes that beyblades are the only way to stop the 'mad, crazy man', as you put it." A girl exited the hotel room clutching onto a laptop and headset. She stopped and stared unimpressed at the Bladebreakers but had not even bothered to complain. She blinked slowly but soon gained her bearings and just shoved her way through the group.

Hilary giggled slightly at her receding back and Tyson sighed, "that was-"

"Zuri Baby! So what do you think will happen?" Diana opened their room door and stuck her head out, she frowned at the group standing just outside their door but continued on yelling out her theory, "Is there going to be some army plan where we drop out of planes or something?"

"Hardly doubt it Di! Hey Kane it's me." Zuri disappeared out the fire escape, lodging a shoe between the door and wall to keep from being locked out. Diana huffed and closed the door.

Tyson let out another sigh and rested tiredly against the wall, "next time you try and eavesdrop try not to make it so obvious. Idiot." Diana slammed the door shut again and Tyson slid down the wall in fright. Max and Ray chuckled whilst Hilary stared at him with her trademark 'told you so' expression.

"I'm going to go order room service," Max chuckled and entered their room which was just opposite of the girls'.

"I want pizza!" Tyson leapt into the room hoping to catch Max before he dialled the number. He was easy to bribe or easy to make to feel better. How else had Hilary managed to ask him out?

Ok so this is the final installment, edited and written based on the events that take place at Role Play Beyblade! Found in Beyblade's forum section. It took me a while to write because I had to add some stuff that wasn't present in the original and I had to write it from the Beybladers' point of view, kinda, not really.

the role play if anyone is interested.

It's confusing but will get better.

Zuri belongs to me.

Diana belongs to Majin-fuzzy-elf

She-Ying belongs to Niwani

Lexi belongs to ANiMe-AsIaN-ChIcK69
