Chapter 1: Beastly Shadows

It was a quiet night in Bay City, Kai Hiwatari was practicing in an abandoned warehouse with his Dranzer MS. He wanted to get away and be on his own for a bit well except for the cats that is...

Kai: GO DRANZER!

The blue Heavy Metal Beyblade spun around, knocking down bottles and leaving a slight trail of ember in it's wake. Kai was watched by his feline friends who he fed and took care of unknown to his teammates from the G Revolutions team. Unknown even to his girlfriend, Grace Granger the twin sister of Kai's ultimate rival Tyson Granger.

All of a sudden there was a noise, Kai looked around concerned but there was nothing there yet Kai felt as if he was being watched so he decided to call it a night.

Kai: RETREAT DRANZER!

Dranzer came to Kai but then the noise came again followed by a crash as one of the bottles fell and broke.

Kai: What the?

The cats began to hiss and spit, clearly sensing the force at work...

Kai: Something is seriously wr-

But before Kai could finish his sentence he was swiped by something. Kai fell, got back up and angrily faced his attacker...

Kai: Holy cow!

Kai faced two shadowy monstrous figures. Their eyes were blood red and they began shrieking incoherently. Kai covered his ears to shield them from the ear-piercing sounds and then just as quick as they came the beastly shadows were gone...

Kai: O...K That was freaky...

Next morning in the Granger Dojo, Tyson's scream awoke his sisters, Grace and Sam.

Grace: Has he eaten hot peppers again?

Sam: We'd better check on him before he wakes the neighbourhood

So the girls rushed to Tyson's room to find their brother being attacked...

Grace: What the hell are they?

Tyson was in the clutches of the beastly shadows that unbeknown to them had attacked Kai the previous night. Their dark energy disturbed Sam...

Sam: I am sensing something here...

Grace: What?

Sam: I don't know

Tyson: LET ME GOOOOOO!

Tyson punched and kicked at the grotesque creatures. The creatures shrieked loudly and pawed at Tyson but then they disappeared once more.

Tyson: What this a nightmare or was this real?

Sam: Seemed real to me...

Grace: are you OK bro?

Tyson: I'm alive I guess.

Grandpa who had heard all the screaming came into Tyson's now pretty much messed up room to find out what was going on.

Grandpa: Yo! What is with all the Howler Monkeys here?

Grace: Ty was attacked by these monsters...

Tyson: But I fought back! *grins*

Sam and Grace sweatdropped at their braggart brother, Grandpa shrugged then left the room.

Grace: I think we should start getting ready now I mean I have the date with Kai...

Sam: I have a date with Ray *giggles*

Tyson: And I am gonna see...um Max, Kenny and Kirsty...

Grace: Not really a date bro!

Sam: *giggles*

Grace and Sam got ready then set off for their dates as Tyson waited for his friends. Sam went to meet up with Ray on the hills near the park.

Sam: Hey Ray-Ray!

Ray: Heya Sammy!

The two set off to hug each other in greeting but then Ray was pushed back by a force...

Ray: Urgh!

Sam: RAY!

Two shadows took form...the beastly shadows had returned and proceeded to try and attack Ray as Sam watched in horror...
