Prologue: Meeting Taylor

Knock, knock.

Rei and Mariah looked over towards the door.

"Come in," said Mariah.

"Special delivery for Rei Kon," said a girl, opening the door and peering inside the hospital room.

There was a boy with extremely long black hair and yellow, cat-like eyes lying on the hospital bed. Beside the bed sat a girl with similar eyes, pink hair and a hairbow that made it look like she had cat ears.

The girl who knocked held a vase full of flowers in one arm. She walked over to the bedside table and put the flowers down. There was also a card with a tiger on the front. On the inside, it said, 'Rar!' and then in print, 'I saw the match between you and Bryan . Hope you recover fast, I'd love to see you blading again soon . -Taylor.'

"Who are you?" asked Mariah.

"Taylor's the name, being annoying's my game," said the girl, winking.

Just then, the beyblade match came on the TV.

"Ooh! Tyson and Tala are beybattling next!" squealed Taylor. "Can I stay here and watch with you?"

"Um, sure," said Rei.

"And by the way Rei," Taylor gave him a sidelong glance and smiled. "I never knew you had so much poofy hair."

Rei and Mariah: *sweatdrop*

"Is that supposed to be an insult?" asked Mariah.

"No," said Taylor, looking insulted herself. "Just a pointless comment."

On the TV screen, Tala and Tyson were beybattling in the Blizzard Bowl. At the last second, Tyson turned the tables on Tala and won the first round.

"Oh yeah!" yelled Taylor, jumping in the air and pumping her fist.

"Hey!" cried Mariah. "We have a recovering person in the room, you know!"

"Oh sorry," said Taylor. *sweatdrop*

"Um, thanks for the flowers," said Rei.

Taylor flourished a bow.

"You're welcome," she said. "When I watched that first cheap shot, my mouth dropped open and stayed like that for three whole minutes. Then I started raving about how evil and low that- that- BRYAN is."

Taylor spat the name out like moldy spinach.

"Great! Now I've gone and gotten myself started. I'm going to be ranting about this all day. I need duct tape."

Just then, a doctor came in, checked Rei, and announced him fit to be released from the hospital.

"C'mon! We gotta hurry before the second round begins!" said Taylor, excitedly.

Taylor followed happily, carrying her flowers, as Mariah slowly led Rei to the waiting room, where Mr. Dickinson was waiting with a ride. He ushered Rei and Mariah into the car.

"Hey! Mr. D!"

"Oh, Taylor! It's wonderful to see you again."

"You know Mr. Dickinson?" questioned Rei.

"Sure I do!" said Taylor, turning to Mr. Dickinson. "Can I have a ride?"

"Oh, of course! To the beystadium!"

"How do you know Mr. Dickinson?" asked Rei.

"My cousin's a blader and he has friends in high places," said Taylor, winking. "Just wait 'til we get to the stadium and I'll introduce you." She winked again.

About a minute later, the car stopped in front of the stadium. Taylor jumped out and ran inside to reclaim her seat. She was amazed to see the whole arena trapped in a giant iceberg. However, the battle was still being broadcasted onto the big screen. Taylor could see the wind biting at Tyson's face. Wind? In an iceberg?

"When our bit-beasts collided, we ripped a hole in the time-space continuum," Tala explained coldly.

On the big screen, Dragoon was lying on its side on the ice.

"It looks like we have a winner for the second round!" said AJ Topper.

"It's over," said Emily, gloomily.

"Guys, we can't give up on Tyson so soon," said Michael. "He can still win it in the third round."

"Emily's right," said Mrs. Tate. " We have to be realistic. This battle is over."

"NO! I REFUSE TO BE REALISTIC! TYSON'S GOING TO WIN, BECAUSE I SAID SO!"

The All Starz stared up at the girl who was on her feet, staring determinedly at the big screen.

"It looks like we're ready for the third and final round!" said AJ.

The two competitors launched their blades. Taylor noticed the smile on Tyson's face.

"Yes! This thing is in the bag!" she said.

The stadium watched as Tala combined all the bit beasts into one giant fireball.

Tyson faltered but recovered quickly.

"Dragoon! Final Attack!!"

Bursts of energy shot out from the fireball and hit Dragoon. However, he got back up and charged like it was nothing.

"How is this possible?! My power should have taken care of your bit beast long ago!"

"That's 'cause you're not just taking on Tyson," said Kai. "We work as a team, so when you battle one of us, you're battling all of us!"

"Yeah! Let's take him DOWN!"

Dragoon charged into the fireball. It diminished quickly. Bit beasts were flying everywhere, back into their original blades, and the iceberg was shattered.

"The new Beyblade Champion is…Tyson!"

"YES! OH YEAH! WOHOO! GO TYSON! OH MY GOSH, YOU ROCK! YES! GO TYSON, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, NOT REALLY, BUT GO ANYWAY! WOHOO!"

Taylor ran down the rows, vaulted herself over the low wall, and ran over to Tyson and started rejoicing.

"TYSON! OH MY GOSH! YOU WERE BRILLIANT! TOTALLY AMAZING!"

Max and Kenny stared at the girl who was talking top speed to Tyson.

"Umm, Tyson," said Kenny. "Do you know her?"

"Of course he does!" cried Taylor. "We've known each other since before this guy was potty-trained!"

Taylor turned to Rei and Mariah with a big smile on her face that showed she was trying very hard not to laugh.

"Rei, Mariah, meet my cuz', Tyson."

"Guys," said Tyson, to the others, "Meet Taylor, my cousin."

"Hey Tyson, guess what! I'm coming to stay with you guys, 'cause my mom and dad are going to Brazil!"

Taylor started freaking out about Tyson being one of the Beyblade Champions.

"Oh yeah! Here we go! Don't mess, don't mess, don't mess with the best, 'cause the best don't mess. Don't fool, don't fool, don't fool with the cool 'cause the cool don't fool. Don't mess with the best, don't fool with the cool, from the east to the west, Bladebreakers are the best!"

"Hey Tyson," called Kai. "Since the Tournament is over, the Bladebreakers don't exist anymore." He held up his launcher. "So how 'bout that beybattle you owe me."

"Right here, right now," said Tyson.

"Hey what about me?" said Michael.

"I'd also like to challenge the new Beyblade Champion," said Robert.

Hundreds of bladers gathered around Tyson.

"C'mon Tyson," said Emily. "Bring it on."

Tyson chuckled.

"OK bladers! Get ready!" yelled AJ Topper. "3, 2, 1! LET IT RIIIIIIIP!
