A new threat

Characters: Tala, Kai, Spencer, Ian, and Bryan (non yoai) sorry, but I hate that stuff. DON'T KILL ME! (Runs off in fear.)

Disclaimer: I'll own Beyblade the moment I start enjoying being shot at and find being stabbed in the eye a fun activity. Not bloody likely.

It was a cold morning in Russia. The sun had been over the horizon for a few hours now. The rays were just now starting to awaken a sleeping Tala. The red head stirred underneath his tornado of blankets and sheets, refusing to accept the morning sun. He finally chanced a peek at the alarm clock on the dresser next to him. 11:49.

'Oh shit!' He dove out of bed and stumbled over some scattered cloths that conquered his floor. He reached the bathroom only to find out that there was no toilet paper left in the bathroom. 'That little midget.' He stormed to the top on the steps further down the hall.

"IAN YOU DUMB PIECE OF CRAP! NEXT TIME YOU DO THIS, I'M GANNA SKIN YOU ALIVE!"

"Good morning to you too Tala!" called the short blader back to his captain. "You're mover Bryan." They were playing a game of poker in the kitchen, while Spencer was busy doing the dishes. Kai, as always, was off in his own little world in the corner of the living room. "I'm good, you?" "I'll pick up two." He then proceeded to lay the two cards face down on the table, then coughed and dropped one. "Opps, silly me" he said with an 'innocent' look on his face. Bryan simply scoffed at the tiny one. Ian went to pick up the cards, but in mid-bend, he switched out the two top cards on the main deck with two of his own. Then gathered up the cards and strolled back to the table.

"Okay, I'm back." Ian said with a smile.

"I can see that" the Falcon said with a you're-an-idiot tone in his voice. "What are you cards already." Ian smirked and laid down his cards.

"Three queens, in you're face Bryan." He then started to grab his treasure of jolly ranchers and pixie sticks.

"Not so fast there tiny." Bryan slyly placed down his hand and chuckled, "Royal flush! You lose again you little punk." He picked up his reward, and headed to the T.V. area. Ian was speechless to say the least.

"Oh, and Ian," the older blader looked over to the still spellbound player, "next time you try to cheat, I'm gonna rip you a new one." This made Ian whimper slightly, knowing full well of what Bryan could do to him. The Falcon chuckled once more and flopped himself down on the coach. He grabbed the remote and turned on some cartoons.

"Aren't you a little old to be watching cartoons?" Kai had finally spoken after, what had seemed like hours, of silent.

"Pfft. No way, cartoons rock."

The two tone haired boy simply rolled his eyes and pushed himself off the wall. Moments later, Tala came running down the stairs and into the kitchen with the others.

"It's about time you woke up," Spencer said as he was drying off the last of the dishes, "I was starting to think you were in a coma again."

"Shut up! My stupid alarm clock didn't go off, and I need to be at the conference in twenty minutes." Tala was franticly looking for his keys with a plain piece of bread in his mouth. "Damnnit, where are they?"

"If you're looking for your keys they're in the foot powder." Spencer informed the now frustrated captain.

"Why the hell is it in the.." Tala was interrupted when Ian shouted that it was 12:05 from across the room. "Crap, I got to go!" He retrieved his keys and raced out the door. Bryan, still lying on the coach, turned the T.V. back off and headed for the kitchen. Kai was now drinking a cup of coffee. Spencer was by the window also enjoying a cup. He peeked out the window and then turned to Kai.

"Hey Kai, you do know that Tala just got his listens last week right?"

"Yeah, so what?" He could really care less.

"So you do know that he just took your car right?"

"WHAT!?!" Kai leaped to the window to see Tala driving down the street with his car.

"Why that little.."

"Easy dude, we don't want you to lose it again. Remember the last time you got all worked up when Ian used your head phones for a day? You tried to rape him with his own beyblade" said the blond as he sat down at the table.

"Oh yeah, that was funny" chuckled Bryan.

"No it wasn't!" Ian protested

"Oh yes it was. He was almost as bad as I am to you." Bryan gloated. Ian simply pouted and stuck his tong out at the falcon.

"Well, he's just lucky he ran off before I could catch him. Anyway it's past noon. It should be warm enough to practice with out too much of a hassle. Come on." It was obvious that Kai had no intension on staying inside all day. He would have left hours ago if it weren't for the fact that Mr. Dickenson had told them to stay in a group. He was responsible of a lot a bladers, and didn't need any one to go missing for some reason. He even had their phone numbers. The young teens finished of their coffees and headed for the park.

Tala had returned from the conference a few hours later. He came to an apartment of pure emptiness. It didn't take him long to figure out where his comrades had gone. He turned back around and headed back outside to the park. He followed the rocky path until he could hear the sounds of beyblades crashing into each other and the sound of Kai summoning Dranzer. He found them soon after. It was Kai verses Spencer. The basic fire and water spout. He reached the others and was greeted with a silent nod from Ian. He simply sat down on a nearby bench next to his. Bryan was leaning against a tree in the shadows across from them. Tala crossed his legs and let out a light sigh.

"What's with you?" Ian had noticed the cold sweat trickling down Tala's face. The red head simply shook his head.

"I'll tell you after they are done."

Ian raised an eyebrow then looked at the Kai and Spencer, and then back at Tala a few seconds later.

"They're done." Ian stated simply.

Tala looked up and saw Spencer retrieving his beyblade from the far corner of the park. Tala gave another light sigh. 'That Kai could beat all four of us at the same time if he wanted to. However, I don't think he could beat them.'

"Okay, so what's up Tal?" Ian was still waiting for his answer. Tala stood up and signaled everyone to fallow him back inside. They followed him back up to the apartment. Once they were all in the living room, he suggested that they all have a seat. Kai took his normal spot up against the wall. "Well, what is it?" Ian was getting impatient.

"Shut up Ian!" Bryan was getting tired of Ian's constant whining.

"Thank you Bryan." Tala gave him a light nod. "Now, at the meeting today, Mr. Dickenson had called all the leaders together for an urgent announcement." The word urgent caught the boy's attention. "Apparently, he has been given threatening news of a new enemy trying to take over the beyblade industry, and it's not Boris, believe it or not"

"Same crap as ever." Bryan said as he leaned back further is his chair. Tala continued, "Although it maybe the same crap, these guys are much stronger than anything else that we've faced. Mr. Dickenson has suggested that we all train as a full beyblade group instead of a scattered one." This caused a few eyebrows to rise. "This new enemy calls them selves The Enforcers. They are very powerful and can easily destroy our beyblades with a single blow. At least, that's what Mr. Dickenson said." A loud sigh came from the four boys, and a low grunt from Kai.

"Anyway, he wants us all to pack our stuff and meet at the airport by 4:15 tomorrow morning."

"WHAT! How come?" Ian was not at all thrilled. Neither were the others, he was just the first to say something.

"Mr. Dickenson wants everyone to meet in Texas. He's already bought our tickets. Everyone will meet there at the same time."

"But why?" Ian whined

"IAN, SHUT UP ALREADY! What's done is done." Bryan snapped.

Spencer wanted a few questions answered before he headed up stairs. "You said that Mr. Dickenson wanted us in Texas? How did he manage to pay for all that for everyone?"

"This is Mr. Dickenson we're talking about. He can do practically anything." Kai stated to the older teen. "But, what I want to know is why we're meeting in Texas?"

Tala had finally gotten tired of all the questions. He just wanted to rest. "How the hell am I supposed to know?"

Another large sigh rang inside the room.
