Beyblade Generation X: Saving Grace

By Darkened-Storm

Summary: Just as they begin their scholarships at the prestigious, and somewhat pretentious Bakuten Academy, the reformation of the G Revolutions is dealt a heavy blow when Hiro Granger returns to coach the team. Tensions run high between the two Granger boys as Hiro struggles to regain the respect of his team, but distractions come from every direction with the reappearance of some friendly – and some not so friendly faces. A lot has changed in three years, but do the Bladebreakers still have the kind of magic it takes to bring down the Blade Sharks from Whitney Prep School. And what's this? Kai's quit Beyblading? Again?

Short Summary: The entire auditorium was staring at them, but being the centre of attention was nothing new to Tyson, and the World Champion took it in his stride. "Hi," he said with a sheepish grin. "We're the Bladebreakers."

Rated: K+ - T

Genre: Action/Friendship, semi-Canon

Disclaimer: I, Darkened-Storm, own only my plot, ideas and characters. Takao Aoki owns Beyblade. Any characters you do not recognise from his series including Steph Summers, Rebecca Carter and Daisy Summers are my creations. This story was inspired by the Disney series, the Mighty Ducks – I don't own that either. Characters from other anime series that appear as minor characters belong to their respective publishers.

Note: This story is part of my fanfiction series, Beyblade Generation X. It is the first story in the series, followed by Saving Grace. Characters from other animes may appear from time to time to play a very minor role as students and teachers as a tribute to the other fandoms that made my childhood so enjoyable.

Special Thanks:I'd like to say a very special thank you to AquilaTempestas, my long-time friend on FFN and fellow Aussie. Don't know where my beyblade fic would be without you – I would have given up a long time ago.

Short Story Excerpt from Chapter 2

By seven-thirty half the school seemed to have assembled inside the school gym. The gym itself had been fitted out for the match since morning practice. A large beystadium had been placed in between the two basketball courts. On either side of the stadium was a bench for both teams and in front of it was a platform for the referee. The bleachers in one corner of the gym had been set aside for the students from Jefferson High and were mostly empty, save for the five rows at the front but the rest of the stands was a blue, white and gold sea of student uniforms.

Hilary and Daichi joined Mariah, Emily and Enrique in the front row behind the Bakuten Academy team bench. To show their support, Mariah and Emily had made a banner that read "Bakuten Academy Bladebreakers!" and hung it over the bleachers.

The Bladebreakers walked into the gym amidst loud cheers from their classmates and huddled around their bench. The team from Jefferson was already ready and waiting for them.
