Where I Belong

Chapter 1: Training for the Championships

There were only two people. They were standing face to face, staring each other down. Their eyes flashed with determination and spirit.

"I'm going to win and become the World Champ once again!" said the shorter teen.

"Of course you are," said the other. "This year, it is going to be an easy victory for you."

He turned around and began to fade away. The World Champion held out his hand in front of him, running after him. However, he couldn't reach him.

"Wait! I don't understand what you mean! Kai wait for me!"

The image of the dual haired teen soon disappeared.

"KAI!"

His eyes flashed open to see himself in bed, acting the same thing as his dream. He put down his arm to rest and fell backwards on his bed, beginning to stare at the ceiling. "What a weird dream," Tyson thought to himself. "Normally, I get dreams about Kai, but this one's—different."

Back when he was still in the Bladebreakers, Tyson would have dreams about the dual haired teen battling him for the World Championship title. Their feelings were intense and almost brutal in its own way. But as time passed, those dreams of their battles became dreams of lust and desire. He dreamt of Kai and himself, next to each other, holding hands, and kissing under the stars. At first, he would just wake up in horror. Just thinking about two guys in love really gave him the shivers. Now, it has become second nature to him. It almost seemed as if he likes it. Tyson and Kai together forever. As a result, whenever he begins to daydream, his mind wanders back to those dreams. "I better get out of bed and get changed," the navy haired teen thought. "If I don't, Hilary will probably scold me again for my lateness."

He sat up, placed his warm feet on the cold floor, sat up, and walked to the washroom to get ready for the start of a new day.


AT THE PARK

"Hey you guys!" Tyson exclaimed as he ran over to the brown haired teens waiting under the tree.

"Well at least he's here on time," Hilary said as she watched the older teen join them.

"Haha, very funny." The World Champion gave her a stern look before he turned to the Chief. "Why did you want us to meet here today?"

"First of all," Kenny explained. "I wanted to talk to you more about this year's World Championships."

"That's it? We can do that some other time."

"I know, but there are also a couple of people I would like you to meet."

"Kenny! Hilary! Tyson!" called out a voice.

The three teens turned around to see three familiar teens from the side of the park. The blond haired teen was waving at them as the taller raven haired teen and the short red haired teen smiled at them, glad to see that they have reunited with their comrades.

Things are getting better already. The navy haired teen smiled and waved back at them as the three teens joined them. "Max! Ray! Daichi! You guys are here!"

"Yep, it's been a while, Tyson!" Daichi said.

"Long time no see," Ray replied.

"Hehe, even though I'm living around the area, it feels like centuries since I last saw you, Ty!" Max added.

"It's great to see you all again!" Tyson said. "But wait, why are you guys here?"

"When we heard the BBA announced the next Beyblade World Championships," Ray explained, "Max and I had to make a difficult decision: to join the G-Revolutions or to join our respected teams, the PPB All-Starz and White Tiger X."

"Yeah," Max agreed. "So, after some thinking, we decided to join you and compete in the Championships together as a team."

"Wow! That's great!" Tyson exclaimed.

"Then, we e-mailed Kenny about it. He decided that all of us should come and see you again," Ray continued speaking.

"When I heard about the World Championships," Daichi said, "I was so excited about it and had to come back as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I got a little lost getting to your place. Luckily, I met up with Kenny yesterday and stayed over at his place for the night. Since then, he explained to me about meeting with you today. And here I am!"

"Well, welcome to the team!" Tyson said as he placed his right hand in front of him. "We're going to totally knock some beyblades out of the stratosphere!"

"That's right," Max agreed as he placed his hand on top of his.

"Together, no one can beat us," Ray replied as he did the same.

"We're one indestructible force," Daichi added as he placed his on the top of the three other hands. "I almost feel sorry for our opponents who had to face us later."

"Let's cheer for the return of the G-Revolutions!" Tyson said as Kenny and Hilary placed their hands on top.

"Go G-Revolutions!" everyone exclaimed as they threw their united hands into the air.

"By the way," Hilary interrupted, "shouldn't Kai be here?"

"Come to think about it, he should meet us," Daichi agreed.

"He's probably against us again," Max said with a smile.

The Chinese teen gave out a short laugh.

"Knowing him, he's definitely against us because of Tyson," he replied.

"Oh please," Tyson said as he put his arms behind his head. "It doesn't matter which team he joins for the tournament. But since most of us are in the same team, he just have to be punished by beating him again in the World Championships!"

"You mean you beating Kai in the Championships," Daichi said. "You are the only one that is able to beat him."

The navy haired teen gave out a laugh. "I guess."

"We should head to Tyson's place," Ray suggested. "It's a good time to start training for the Championships."

"Good idea Ray," Max replied. "Besides, it's been a while since I've been there."

"Alright then, last one to my place is a rotten beyblade!" Tyson exclaimed as he ran towards home.

"No way! I'm not going to lose to you again!" Daichi shouted as he chased after him.

"Oh brother," Hilary said as she sighed.

"Oh well, reminds me of the good old times," Max said.

"Yep," Ray agreed. "We better go after them before we fall too far behind."

"Wait for us Tyson!"

The four remaining teens ran after the other two back to the dojo.


FEW DAYS LATER

Over the course of the days passing, the G-Revolutions have been training for the World Championships. It is only two weeks away. Tyson and the group of bladers are at the dojo, listening to Kenny explain some details about this year's Championship.

"This year's tournament format is a mixture of the various type beybattles that have been introduced in the last year," Kenny explained.

"One of those examples are the tag team battles right?" Daichi asked.

"That's correct. Along with that is the standard 3 versus 3 singles match up battle and the four blader battle royal. (1)"

"Wow, that's so cool!" Max exclaimed. "It gives us the chance to face Tyson even though we're on the same team!"

"Depending on the number of members on each team, there is also a chance for us to battle in various 5 round battle formats. For example, there would be a tag team battle in the first round, a single blader match up in the second round, a four blader battle royal in the third, and so on."

"Wow, things can get complicated," Ray said.

"I know, but at least, the BBA already sent out to all the teams the type battle ahead of time before we have our matches. In round one, we will battle according to the rules of the four blader battle royal."

"Awesome! I want some action!" Daichi exclaimed. "Let me face Tyson in the first round!"

"Well, if it's okay with the rest of you."

"I don't mind," Max replied.

"Same here," Ray agreed. "Go and show him who is the boss."

"Oh yeah! Go me!"

"Hey, that's not fair," Tyson complained. "Now, I feel like an enemy."

"You don't have to worry about that, Tyson," Kenny said. "I have something special which will make sure that the others will have more difficult time beating you. Here you go." He placed on the navy haired teen's hands his Dragoon. "Meet Dragoon Metal Fighter. (2)"

"Wow, this is so great. Thanks Chief!" Tyson thanked as Kenny turned to the others. "I got to try this baby out!"

"Hey! Now that's not fair!" Daichi complained. "How come Tyson gets a new blade and the rest of us doesn't?"

"Don't worry you guys," he said, "you will get your new blades as well. I just need more time to work on them."

"Thanks Kenny," Ray replied.

"All we need to do is wait a little longer," Max added.

"I got to know how powerful it is!" Daichi exclaimed. "Yo Tyson! Let's test your new blade!"

"Then bring it on, Daichi!" Tyson exclaimed as he snapped his beyblade to his launcher and positioned for battle.

"I'm going to take you down with my Strata Dragoon with some new tricks I learned during the past year!" Daichi said as he prepared to launch his blade.

"We'll see about that."

"3…2…1…LET IT RIP!" Max exclaimed.

"LET'S SHOW HIM WHO'S BOSS, STRATA DRAGOON!" Daichi exclaimed as he pulled his ripcord and launched his blade into the dish.

"GO DRAGOON!" Tyson exclaimed as he did the same thing.

The two Dragoon blades were launched into the dish. They circled around each other as if they were doing a dance.

"Alright, go Strata Dragoon!" Daichi cheered.

"Dragoon attack!" Tyson commanded.

Just when he called his blade for the attack, the white blade quickly gained spin power and headed straight for the purple blade. Before it was able to attack, it disappeared.

"What? Where did it go?" Daichi wondered as he looked around only to find nothing.

"Whoa, it's so fast, I can't even see where it is," Max said with astonishment.

"It looks like it's even faster than my Driger," Ray agreed.

"Correct," Kenny replied. "Dragoon is upgraded to have more speed, power, and balance, but at the cost of having a weak defense."

"So you're trying to say that once he has to switch to defense mode, he's a goner?" Hilary asked.

"Generally, yes. This blade can take some time to get use to because your eyes can't quickly spot where it is going."

"If he's this strong the way he is, wait until we see Dragoon's power applied to the blade," Ray said.

"For sure we know it's going to be one hell of a blade," Max said.

All of a sudden, they heard a crash. By the time they looked, they saw the purple blade crash into the front gate wall causing a crater to form around it. It looked like the blade managed to cut through at least half of the wall's density.

"Whoa, that's one powerful blade," Daichi said.

"Yeah," Tyson said as he checked his blade. "Huh? Where did my blade go?"

"I think I know," Max replied as he was staring at the other direction.

"Where?" Tyson asked as he looked in the blond haired teen's direction. "MY BLADE!"

"Whoa, now that's damage," Daichi said.

"Yeah, after Daichi's blade was knocked out of the dish, your blade went the other direction and smashed through the dojo's wall," Ray said.

"Oh boy, Grandpa's going to lecture me again for causing havoc to the dojo," Tyson said. "That blade is hard to keep up with. If you lay your eyes away from it for just one second, you lose track of its whereabouts."

"That's okay Tyson," Kenny said. "As long as you keep training, you'll eventually get the hang of it."

"Yeah, now that's guaranteed!"

Before they knew it, the World Championships is right around the corner. It is only a day away. The G-Revolutions are scheduled to meet at the Tokyo airport in the morning so that they won't miss their flight to Ontario, Canada, where the first round of the tournament is going to take place at. "Is everyone here?" Hilary asked.

"Yep, all present and accounted for," Kenny replied.

"Wow, the whole world must be coming to an end."

"Haha, very funny Hilary," Tyson said with a stern look at her as he crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm not that much of a retard."

"Anyways, let's go and board our plane now," Max said. "I just heard our flight is ready to allow passengers on board."

"Alright, let's go!"

Once the G-Revolutions boarded the plane and took off, the navy haired teen spent most of his time, staring at the window, thinking as he patiently waited for the plane to land. "It's finally here," Tyson thought to himself. "We're headed for the World Championships. It's time for me to test my skills to see if I can keep my title for a fourth straight year. Judging from your absence, I'm assuming that I am going to meet you there at the tournament as one of my opponents. I'll see you there, Kai. May the best blader win."

END OF CHAPTER ONE


References

(1) There will be three different types of beybattles that will take place in various matches of the World Championships. They are tag team battles (2 versus 2), four blader battle royal (2 bladers from each team will be facing against each other, winner take all), and the standard single blader match up (1 versus 1).

(2) I found out while watching the BEGA arc, the G-Revolution's beyblades (aside from Daichi) are similar to what they have when they first started off as the Bladebreakers. For example, Tyson's Dragoon MS blade is similar to his old Dragoon Storm blade. Even though it's a bit cocky, why not continue the Hard Metal Series in the same style?


AznVKai: Boy that was a long chapter. I hope you all liked it. If you're wondering where is Kai, he will appear later in the later chapters. Please leave your comments or suggestions in your review. It's greatly appreciated. Thanks!
