Howdy everyone, this is my newest creation "Uprising" I've always wanted to a do a Beyblade fic during the age of magic and swords. If no one knows of the places in this story, they are a part of this fantasy world I've had in my mind for four years. The world of Valen. I hope you enjoy this story.

Kingdoms have fallen to this darkness, yet the the King does nothing but war with other nations. We need a an uprising, we need a leader, we need a saviour!

This much was true, ever since Kai Hiwatari became the King of Ceril, he sought to the expand their lands by claiming other kingdoms. Though he had not taken over any kingdoms at all. He should have been turning his attention to the threat that lay to the South, the darkness is coming, that much was true enough. No one had even thought to lead an uprising against Kai, for he possessed magic like none other, despite being at such a young age, 17 to be exact.

"Captain Tala!" shouted Kai while sat in the comfort of his throne. Within a moments notice, Tala came through the door the throne room.

"Yes, my lord Kai?" said Tala, bowing respectfully to him.

"What's our position in the conquering of Wilsmore?" asked Kai, leaning forward expectantly.

"Not good, it's a stalemate down there, heavy casualties on both sides. Their men are better equipped than us and had the advantage of being ready for us before we arrived. If we don't pull out soon, they'll all be massacared!"

"You will not do such a thing!" growled Kai defensively.

"But, my lord, we can't just keep on fighting a losing battle out there. The darkness will come here, to Ceril, and destroy all that is good unless we hold a cease fire, at least until the darkness is dealt with" reasoned Tala, trying to make Kai see sense. Their was an eerie silence that followed, Kai thought for a moment, thinking of what to do next.

"If that is the case, send in more troops"

"But, my Lord..."

"That is an order!" snapped Kai. Tala was tempted to use his own ice magic on Kai, but thought better of it and left the throne room. As Tala left the room, his personal guards, Spencer and Garland, stood by his sides.

"What was the King's verdict?" asked Garland, Spencer nodding with him.

"He want's me to commit more troops to the conquering of Wilsmore" said Tala, sounding dissapointed.

"What?" questioned Garland.

"That's an outrage, he can't do this!" added Spencer, to which Garland agreed with. Tala then walked on ahead, with Spencer and Garland following by his side. Once they reached the gates of the castle, Tala turned to them.

"It's time" he spoke confidently.

"Time for what?" questioned Spencer.

"It's time... For and uprising!" said Tala triumphantly. "First, we need to win the people of this kingdom to our cause, which shouldn't be too hard as they hate King Kai's guts"

"What about that Rei Kon?" asked Garland. "You know, the guy you've been helping perfect his magic abilities?"

"That's our very next stop, Garland" said Tala calmly. "I can just sense... that Rei Kon will have a major part to play in this uprising"

Rei walked the streets of Ceril, hand in hand with his girlfriend, Salima.

"Everyone seems in a pretty aggressive mood towards King Kai today, well... more than usual" said Rei to Salima, as their pace quickened somewhat.

"Yes, I agree Rei. But this whole war with Wilsmore is stupid and uncalled for! We all know the darkness is coming, and Kai is more obsessed with killing who could possibly be our closest allies to thwarting this evil! How far down the line of madness has he gone?" questioned Salima.

"Too far for any of us to reason with him now" said Tala as he approached Rei. He and Salima bowed respectfully to him.

"Captain Tala? What brings you down here? Aren't we going to have another lesson?"

"That can wait Rei, we have pressing matters on our hands right now. We're starting and uprising!" answered Tala heroically.

"An uprising? Are you sure that it will be easy?"

"Rei, and uprising is never easy" added Garland before Tala could speak.

"Okay, I'm in on this anyways. I want my revenge on Kai for what he did to my family!" shouted Rei.

"Good" said Tala happily, clapping his hands. "That's the spirit, now... you two go and pack your things, we leave the city as soon as we can"

"Theres no time for that, we leave now" answered Rei.

"Eager to get started are we? Very well, let's go" smiled Tala as he, Garland and Spencer lead the way.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" asked a very worried Salima. "This could be dangerous"

"Salima, trust me... the sooner we leave, the quicker we can fix this world together. Isn't that what you wanted? to heal the world of all it's wrongs? Well you possess healing magic, you will be vital to this cause." said Rei, trying to reassure her.

"I know Rei... but I've fought before, I'm scared"

"I promise Salima" said Rei, taking her hands. "I won't let any harm come to you... not while I can help. Now let's go" he added as he lead Salima with him.

"I hope you don't mind me asking" said Spencer, tapping Tala on his shoulder. "But where on earth are we gonna stop tonight?"

"Dinsmir Village, two hours travelling from here on foot, my family home is there. We can use it as our base of operations"

"Were travelling by horseback right?" asked Garland. "It would save us some time"

"Makes sense to me" chirped Salima. Tala rounded a corner where four horses awaited them. "And it also seems you thought a step ahead of us Tala"

"I have to" he said smirking. "I'm leading us out of here aint I?". They eventaully all mounted horses, Salima was on the same horse as Rei, sitting behind him and clinging onto him tightly. Within moments, all four were off on their way. Before long, they passed the city gates and were out into the lands of Ceril. They rode non-stop until they reached Dinsmir Village. It was a peaceful place, home to many happy inhabitants and the upper class alike.

"They don't have guards in this village Tala, why is that?" asked Rei, looking around him.

"They do, they are out of the village at this moment in time. They are the Saint Shields. You've all heard of them, they are the elite scouting force in the country, and very good mages too. They are good men, as so is their young leader, Ozuma. He has been planning this uprising with me for some time now. We both decided that now is the time to start our rebellion against King Kai"

"Is their anyone else we'll be aquainted with on this quest to bring King Kai to justice?" asked Salima, worried if she was annnoying Tala with these questions.

"Yes, there is Maxwell Tate. But everyone calls him Max, he serves as a messenger for my family, until I discovered his magic potential. He can control water, as discovering this, I recruited him to our cause. Next their is the twins of Julia and Raul Fernandez, from the port city of Coviso. Raul posses fire magic while Julia posses lightning abilities. Oh that reminds me Rei, take this"

Tala then threw a cloth towards Rei, he caught it but noticed something was inside of it. He took off the cloth to reveal a huge two handed blade.

"It's your family sword Rei... I've been keeping it safe since King Kai... No, I wont go on about it. It's too personal to you"

"Thanks for keeping it safe Tala" said Rei, slightly cracking a smile. "I shall bear the Kon name proudly as we gain victory over King Kai!"

"And before I forget" continued Tala. "Here's your weapon too Salima" He threw a staff to Salima. "That is a staff of healers, it should help enhance your power, as your will grows stronger, the staff will extended and become more powerful"

"Thank you, Captain Tala" bowed Salima.

"Lets head inside" said Garland. "I want to hear more about this plan"

"Very well" said Tala "Lets get a move on!"

I really enjoyed writing that, and you are bearing witness to the last chapter I'll ever write as a sixteen year old, as come the 17th of March, I'll hit my 17th birthday!

Also as a little note, for those who want to know what Rei's sword looks like, type in Zhanmadao on Wikipedia.
