Hey everyone. This is a new idea I had rolling around in my sorry excuse for a brain. This is my first Beyblades story, and I hope it's not too bad. I don't know everything that's happened in the show, so if I get it wrong, please excuse me. Sorry the first chapter's so short.

Weeping Angel

"We've been challenged." Kai announced as the Beyblading team walked into the training stadium. The Bladebreakers were one of the best teams of Beybladers in the world.

Tyson sighed. They were always being challenged. "Who is it this time?" he asked. "Are they coming here?"

"No. They're paying for us to fly there." Ray said, taking the letter from Kai's hand, and reading through it. No one noticed Tyson pale as he saw the crest on the letter. "It's the Royals!" Ray said, his eyes widening slightly.

"The Royals!" Max exclaimed. "And they want to battle us? That is so cool!"

"Um, I'm not sure if we should, guys." Tyson said, gulping.

As one, everyone turned to stare at him.

"Tyson…are you …alright?" Kenny said, looking over the other boy.

Tyson backed away, shaking his head. "Alright? No, I'm…I'm sick!" he said, a little too quickly. "I can't go because I'm sick. But don't let me stop you. There's only three members of the Royals now – you can beat them, I know you can. You don't need me."

Kenny was next to the boy in an instant, one hand on his forehead. "Hmm, you don't have a fever, Tyson."

"He's scared." Kai scoffed.

Tyson stiffened. "I am not scared, Kai!" he replied.

"So what is it then, if you're not scared?"

Here, Tyson faulted. "I…I'm not going there again, and that's final!" Tyson turned to walk away, out of the arena, but Kai's voice stopped him.

"You're coming, Tyson. Whether you like it or not." The cold voice stated.

Tyson turned and glared at Kai with such furiosity that Kai was momentarily stunned, although he didn't show it.

"Yu can't make me go, Kai." Tyson said in a low voice. "Not if I don't want to."

"As long as you're a member of this team, and I'm the captain, I can." Kai returned.

Tyson paused, before his shoulders slumped. "You're right." He said finally, sadly.

Kai was beginning to have a bad feeling. 

"I guess I have no choice, do I, Kai?" he continued in that same defeated tone.

'Something's wrong!' Kai's mind screamed, as Tyson continued, meeting his eyes. Kai was shocked at the emotion in them.

"But, you always have a choice." Tyson pulled his eyes away from Kai, turning instead to Max, Kenny and Ray. "I'm sorry, guys. I quit."

The team could only watch in shocked silence as Tyson ran out, into the rain that had been pouring all morning.

There. That's chapter 1. Please, R+R.
