Heya, well here is the long awaited sequel to "Spirit of the Black Panther" – It took me ages thinking of a title for this story, I think this fits best with what I have in mind, the other option would have given too much of the plot away I think, so I'll keep that idea a secret :P

Before I go on, I'd just like to say thanks to everyone who reviewed/read Spirit of the Black Panther – I hope you all enjoy this story just as much, if not more! For all those who haven't read yet, I suggest you do, because this story won't make much sense otherwise!

Just as a warning this chapter may be a bit confusing and dull – I'm not sure. It's only a prologue so I'm sure the real story will get going soon… I hope!

Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Prologue

The booming knock of the door echoed around the large, lifeless room.

"Enter." Commanded a tall figure clad in black.

He looked to be in his late forties, his face aged with deep creases and his long wispy, black hair framed his face, before being tied back. All in all he had an intimidating appearance.

A red haired boy, of around seventeen entered the room and bowed before the ominous looking man.

"Sir, I've found her." Announced the boy, his emerald eyes sparkled slightly.

In the dimly lit room you could barely see the elder's smirk Beside him however stood two younger men, one slightly older than the other but both looked to be in their twenties; the older of the two waited eagerly for the messenger to continue, but the younger looked slightly apprehensive.

"Go on…" answered their master

The messenger nodded before standing.

"I have a video of her… may I?"

He gestured towards a large television screen at the foot of the room.

"Continue please,"

Obediently, the messenger played the tape. The TV picture lit up the room casting long shadows of the four men as they watched. Images of the Bladebreakers danced across the screen; there were some of the Beyblading World Tournament, of Cassie's battle with Tala, and of a press conference afterwards celebrating the decided draw of the competition.

Crimson eyes sparkled madly at the sight of the girl.

The tape then went onto, what looked to be, a secret recording of the Bladebreakers at the dojo. The screen was far fuzzier and odd bits of bush got in the way of the picture, but not enough to not see the focus of the tape.

Most bits of the footage were of Cassie, either blading or talking, or doing nothing. Then a shot with her and Kai holding hands came on. Suddenly the tape was paused.

The two younger men jumped slightly and frowned when they saw their elder had the remote in his hands, his shadowed smile had a creepy feel to it.

"Well Devin? Is this the right one?"

Of the two young men, the elder frowned before replying emotionlessly.

"It's her."

A relieved expression crept onto the messengers face. He turned and bowed respectfully to his master.

"What will you have me do now, sir?"

The elder man walked to his large leather chair that sat behind an ebony desk, sitting down carefully he leant gently back.

"It is not my place to decide on this matter. Ask the boys, this is their task."

Nodding, the messenger turned expectantly towards the two young men.

"What are my next orders masters?"

The younger of the two shuffled nervously on his feet. A gleeful smirk crept onto the elder's features.

"We send her a message. If she responds to it, it really is her, in which case bring her in."

"A good decision Devin, you have learnt well." He turned to the messenger. "Gather your forces and deliver this to her"

He scribbled on a piece of paper before handing it to the red haired man. With a quick bow the messenger left the room.

Silence haunted the dark room momentarily before the leader spoke.

"Let the games begin…"


Ok… so was that chapter a bit lame? And short? I'm sorry, if it is, the next chapter should be far better. I wasn't even gonna put in this chapter but the more I thought of it the more I think (and hope) the story will make sense later on… well that's my plan anyway!

I'd be grateful for any reviews. It may be a while till the next chapter is up, it all depends on school sadly. Until then, keep reading!
