Six Months Later

Rei sighed with content as he read the newspaper first thing in the morning, since annoucing his retirement to his team mates, he spent almost all his time to himself, able to the things he always wanted to do. But that didn't stop him from training, just not with his beyblade, he trained daily to keep in shape. Putting the newspaper down, Rei walked to the front door and let the radiant sunlight shine down upon him as he sat down on the front step just as Lee and the others approached him, with their bags packed.

"Hey man, are you alright Rei?" Lee asked, seeming concerned for his best friend. Since Rei had come back, he spent most of his time hanging out with Lee and Mariah. During their conversations, they noticed Rei sounded negative whenever the discussion came to beyblading. When Rei came clean about him quitting over what happened, Lee was very understanding with him, whilst feeling the urge to kill Kai for doing this to his friend.

"Yeah, I'm fine Lee, thanks for asking dude. Say, why have you packed your bags?" Rei asked, motioning a finger towards the rucksack that lay next to Lee's feet, seemingly half empty. "I take it you guys are heading to the world championships then?" Rei asked again, glancing back at Lee

"Yeah, that we are Rei. Don't worry about Kai and the others Rei, we'll get them back for you when our paths cross with theirs" Lee answered, picking up the rucksack with the greatest of ease. "I'll give you a call when we land, okay?"

"That's good, hope you guys do well out there. See ya guys" Rei smiled as he waved them goodbye, once they left his sight, he sighed as he turned to walk back inside. When suddenly, a beyblade shot extremely close to his cheek and hit the wall nearby, bouncing off and headed back out the door. Rei turned around to see the beyblade return to it's owner and he could not believe who it was. It was Zeo!

"Sorry about that, Rei" he chirped happily, picking Cerberus back up from the floor and placed it in his pocket. "I didn't think that you'd hear me from a distance, so this was the next best idea that I had to get your attention"

"Zeo, it's good to see you buddy. What are you doing here?" Rei smiled as he approached Zeo, with a spring in his step as he was excited to see his old friend from two years ago again.

"I came here to see you of course" Zeo smiled back, almost as happy as Rei was. Then out of nowhere, a blonde with hair almost exactly like Rei's appeared and stood at Zeo's side. "I'm sure you remember Foxy, don't you Rei?"

"Yeah, I remember you Foxy, you tried to take Driger from me last time we met" Rei responded, but he suprisingly didn't sound angry at all, his voice just sounded blank and empty.

"Heheh, yeah. Sorry about that" Foxy laughed, scratching the back of his neck nervously. "Though let's be honest though, that battle was a pretty cool one though wasn't it?" he asked, wide smile across his face.

"I'll have to be truthful with you Foxy, that was a pretty good battle. I take it Zeo's been teaching you the right way to blade then?" Foxy only nodded approvingly at Rei's question as Rei continued. "So tell me, why are you here?"

"Well, seeming as your a good friend Rei, and that your a good blader. We wan't you to join our team for the next world championships" Zeo spoke, sounding honest and kind all the way through what he had to say. He noticed Rei scrunched up his face in disgust when Zeo said the words "World championships"

"No" Rei responded, sounding almost cold. "I'm done with blading, not used Driger for six months, and I ain't gonna use it again" he then turned his back to Zeo and began to stare at a lone ant on the ground, which was scurrying around for something. After a moment or two, Zeo stepped forward.

"Rei, the G-Revolution's made it no secret that you were kicked off the team. Don't you wan't your revenge? Don't you wanna prove them wrong and that you can win matches? Look, we need a fourth blader. Gordo's not here at the moment, he's back in Japan sorting a few things with his passport. We won't have enough bladers to enter the tournament, as all teams need a reserve blader. You don't even have to battle if you don't wan't to, but I think you should battle, prove to the world that you've still got what it takes to shine on the big stage" Zeo then walked around Rei so that they were face to face, Rei looked up at Zeo with a content look in his eyes.

"The desire to seek revenge welled up in me during the first week, but I was true to my word and decided to retire. I've since let go, but you say they made no secret of it? So they publicly humiliate me too. That can't go unanswered!"

"So what's your choice then, Rei?" asked Foxy, who picked up a bag next to his feet and slung it over his shoulder, eagerly awaiting the trip back to Japan.

"I'll go and get my things, Rei Kon and Driger are back!" Rei declared triumphantly as he turned around and walked back inside to go an gather up some stuff. Foxy walked beside Zeo and patted him on the shoulder.

"So our team is complete Zeo, the Bey-Smashers live! But did you honestly tell the truth when you said about the public humiliation stuff?" Zeo didn't answer, instead he pulled a newspaper out of his bag and handed it to Foxy.

"Flick to page 27" was all Zeo said to him, before adding. "This paper came out yesterday, this interview is also on the internet too, so this ain't total bollocks"

"Will do Zeo" Foxy replied as he began to flick through the newspaper until he found the headline for the story. "G-Revolution's captain Kai Hiwatari and Tyson Granger blast former team mate Rei Kon" Foxy read from the newspaper out loud, he continued to read until his facial expression changed from confusion to shock and anger. "There are a hell of a lot of things I'd like to call the pair of them right now, but there are kids present in the neighbourhood". Shortly afterwards, Rei appeared out the door with his bag packed with Driger in hand.

"I'm ready, I hope you are old friend" Rei spoke quietly to Driger before placing it in his pocket and looked up at his new team mates, ready for a new enemy, his old friends... "Right lets go guys"


Foxy: Whoa, thats a suprise, Rei's coming back!

Rei: Definately! Time to show my stuff again

Hilary: Great to see you coming back to blading again.

Mariah: So Zeo, seeming as your Spinster's assistant, what's gonna happen in the next chapter?

Zeo: Since you asked Mariah, what you will see in the next chapter is from the G-Revolutions perspective with Tyson and the gang... and it will seem not all agreed with Tyson and Kai's comments.

Hilary: That's all we got time for.

Spinster: Until next time, see you guys!
