[Opening: OFF THE CHAINS]
["OFF THE CHAIN ikusei touzainanboku,"]
[Bakuten Shoot Beyblade: V Force.]
["OFF THE CHAIN zenshin chou kou soku, OFF THE CHAIN mawasu mawasu mujuuryoku, OFF THE CHAIN OFF THE CHAIN UH HUH HUH HUH."]
Takao running with a smile on him.
["HEY YO NUMBER ONE ni naritaku jibun de kangae naosou kantan ni mitsukaru nai FIND YOUR OWN WAY, kousoku,"]
A bird flying up above the blue sky.
["NETTO de INTERNATIONAL KINDA haitaku no tori aite wo RISAACHI RESEARCH YOUR DIGITAL kaisen INTERNET,"]
The bird flying and below was the city of Tokyo.
["SPIN IT LIKE A BEYBLADE HEY YO,"]
Dragoon's symbol came crashing down to earth.
["Jiko seigyo dekinai kya omae no make,"]
Landing in front of Takao.
["AH DON'T SAY YOU USE A BEY wo mushi omae no kaachan yobi dashite,"]
Takao's beyblade was formed.
["Maware maware tomaru koto nee BLAZAY BLAZAY TELL ME TELL ME WHAT YOU SAID."]
Takao turned and launched his beyblade.
["Atama no naka no shikou kairo Yogen ichinan FULLkaiten,"]
The spinning top, Dragoon spun throughout the field.
["Gainen daitan saizen assei dondon ga eishin deai gyakuten,"]
A beam of light shone from within the top, and soon, Dragoon, had been summoned onto the field, roaring.
["Maware maware tomaru koto nee
blazay blazay TELL ME TELL ME WHAT YOU SAID,"]
An invisible Bit Beast, (emerged from its Beyblade, now confronting the Dragoon.
["TELL ME WHAT YOU SAID TELL ME TELL ME WHAT YOU SAID."]
Dragoon clashed with the invisible bit beast.
["OFF THE CHAIN ikusei touzainanboku,"]
Kai rapidly turns to look over his side, A faded Beyblade of his Dranzer shown.
["OFF THE CHAIN zenshin chou kou soku,"]
Max jumped onto the air, full with enthusiasm as a faded Beyblade of Draciel shoots itself.
["OFF THE CHAIN mawasu mawasu mujuuryoku,"]
Rei showed a bright smile that was curled up on his lip, lifting his arm as a faded Driger shoots itself.
["OFF THE CHAIN OFF THE CHAIN UH HUH HUH HUH."]
Ashley shot her arms up with a wide grin, a victorious feeling dwelling inside her as Wolverine emits itself.
["OFF THE CHAIN ikusei touzai nan boku
OFF THE CHAIN OFF THE CHAIN OFF THE CHAIN,"]
The supporting characters, Hilary and Kenny, smiling.
Then Max, Rei, Kai, Ashley and finally Takao.
["OFF THE CHAIN mawasu mawasu muju ryoku OFF THE CHAIN OFF THE CHAIN OFF THE CHAIN."]
It was really hard to comprehend. Really. Takao losing and was defeated by a stranger in a cloak.
And honestly, Tyson was feeling devastated.
"I think there's a thing or two I need to teach you. You can't win with your own strenght!" Mister X said, arms crossed.
And with that, Mister X had knocked out Dragoon out of the stadium.
"I can't believe that I lost!" Takao yelled out of the blue.
Ashley only sighed and shook her head.
Then Ashley whimpered as Tyson screamed. 'Oh Grandfather,' she thought.
'Takao better hurry and get up for school.'
Ashley went to grab her jacket and everything else on. She went to grab her book bag as Takao finally got up and went to get dressed.
...
Episode Three: The Mysterious Blade Hunters
Meanwhile, Kenny was still analyzing the battle between Takao and Mister X.
"Watch it on the typing there, Kyoujyu." Dizzi spoke while Kenny only ignored her.
"Takao really lost huh?" A kid suddenly said. Kenny looked up as the kids continued to gossip the match.
"That's what I heard."
"I knew he wouldn't hold the title."
"Here's the video of yesterday. It's the only one I could get." Dizzi said.
But again, Kenny ignored her since he had about enough of the students bad mouthing Takao's latest match.
Having enough of the insults indirecting towards his friend, Kenny turned his head towrds the group of kids. "That's enough already!" he suddenly exclaimed while slamming his hands on his desk.
This caused the students to turn and look at him. He was causing a scene. Which isn't something Kenny did. Like ever.
"We all know Takao lost. Completely destroyed, even. But have any of you thought about how Takao feels? I'm sure he's hurt. As a champion member of the BBA, as the boy who stood on top of the world, he lost some no-blader! I'm sure he's shocked beyond belief. So please, don't talk about yesterday's match in front of Takao" pleaded Kenny while averting his gaze down.
"Understood."
"We'll be careful."
The bell than rang and Miss Kincaid walked in the classroom and greeted the students with a smile.
It's funny because class started and Ashley and Takao are nowhere to be found.
Kenny started to panic.
It's normal for Takao to be late but come on, now Ashley? Takao shouldn't be dragging his sister and taker her the same path he is.
Ashley and Takao were running through the halls and of course the bell had rung but who's fault was it that they're late? Takao of course but would Ashley admit it? No. Why? Because she's a good sister and wouldn't blab on her brother like that. No she isn't like that at all. She should be but she isn't.
Takao opened the door to the classroom and yelled, "I'm safe!" he slid in as if he done a home-run.
Ashley and Takao had stopped to catch their breaths since the two ran straight from home to school, without making any stops— actually that's a lie.
"Takao. Please, we're going to be late." said a very anxious Ashley.
Takao walked out of the tea shop and waved his hands at Ashley. "Ah, relax. We'll only be late by a couple of minutes so what's the rush?"
Ashley widen her eyes and was almost exaggerating on Takao. "Takao, please! I've never been late for class ever in my entire life and I don't really want to start now."
Takao only yawned and ignored his sister. He then handed Ashley a huge cup with a straw already in and a small concha. "Here. Just take this. It's your favorite you know. Bubble tea and all. Look, see I got one too!" exclaimed Takao who showed Ashley his own mega cup with a wide grin.
Ashley widen her eyes then slumped. There's no point into knocking some sense into Takao.
"You are late!" yelled Hilary. "I swear to god I can't tolerate you being late but there's no need for you to drag your sister into being late too!"
Takao scoffed. "What's the problem, Hilary?! We're here, aren't we?!"
And the two were at it again. They began to bicker back and forth and Ashley was stuck in the middle. A sweatdrop on her. How did life ended up like this for her? The mystery is yet to be solved.
And heck, Miss Kincaid was already hiding behind her desk.
Then, something strange happened.
Takao backed away from Hilary and laughed?
Ashley was confused by this sudden action and so was Kenny. Just what could have been so funny? In all honesty, I'm sure everyone was just as confused and were expecting Takao to yell or scream but no.
Nothing like that happened. Instead...
With a snort, Takao finally admitted, "Yup, I lost." He shrugged. "And a loss is a loss. But next time, I'm definitely going to win. That's all I'm thinking about right now." he declared with a fist in mid air.
Hilary didn't looked pleased in the slightest but the whole class cheered.
Ashley couldn't help but to admire her brother's determination. Now if it were her who had lost, she would cry and sulk for like a week or even a month or forever but no, her brother wasn't like that (at least that's what she assumes I mean she wasn't with him for his world tour tournament) and that's what she admired about him. She couldn't help but to smile at her brother.
...
During lunch, Ashley, Kenny and Takao all went to the top of the school's rooftop to have their lunch there.
Takao was hogging all his food while Ashley was slowly picking on her lunch.
Meanwhile, Kenny continued to analyze Takao's match against the stranger but with no luck, still couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. "Nothing." he said with a sigh.
Takao ignored Kenny and grabbed Kenny's bowl of untouched rice. "Mind if I eat that, no? Thanks Kyoujyu." he began to munch down as Kenny groaned.
Ashley stayed silent while slowly taking a piece of her own rice and slowly taking it to her mouth. 'Should I tell them? Could this be a coincidence? Maybe but..'. she was debating in her head if she should confessed to Kenny and her brother about her weird encounter just before she left London. 'What if...'
...
Somewhere in the streets of New York...
A young boy was so happening to take a small stroll. Listening to some jams on his headset which were brand. Beats.
The boy was so in tune, he barely noticed a presence nearing him.
But that's when he came to a stop when someone tapped his shoulder.
The boy turned and noticed it was a stranger in a long hooded cloaked. With a hood on too so their face was merely covered. "Hm?" the boy blinked pulling his headset down to his neck.
"You're Max, right? The world champion?" The stranger asked.
This caused Max to blink. Their voice sounded so feminine. Almost like the one who encountered— Actually never mind. No spoilers please! But anyways, Max assumed the stranger was a girl hence the voice that proved it.
"Yeah, do you need something?" Max said oddly all cheerful.
"Could you do me a favor?" the girl started.
"An autograph? My pleasure." smiled Max, flashing wink and rubbing his head sheepishly.
"No. Could you have a battle with me, please?" the girl said as she holds up her Beyblade.
The two then ended up in an abandoned storage facility room. A garage? Someplace like that. Or maybe some kind of labs. Since there were cameras around.
"Please." the girl asked with a low voice.
"Okay. But I don't hold back against the ladies." Max chuckled, grinning at the girl.
Max got his launcher readied along with his Draciel and smirked. "Then, here we go." he challenged
The match then started as the two launched their Beyblades to the dish.
Everything seemed to be going well at first.
As though the battle seemed to be in Max's favor and all.
But that's when the unthinkable started. A funny feeling.
And that's when a bright light shone.
'No way!'
...
Somewhere in a small village in China...
"Relax your wrists a little more, and pull as hard as you can." Rei said to a small boy.
Rei was teaching some students that pleaded him to teach them some new Beyblade moves and such.
The way of Beybattles.
Rei was back home in China and was he enjoying his stay there. He then heard one of the children calling his name.
Rei turned and headed to where a small commotion was and noticed a figure dressed in a long cloak with their good on them.
A challenger?
The stranger then took out his launcher and Rei already gotten the message.
The two both aimed their launchers and started the countdown.
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
"Go Shoot!"
And the Beyblades clashed almost so perfect.
So fixated in the battle, all was going well for Rei.
But that's when it happened.
The stranger's blade was glowing and a bright light shone.
Rei could only gasp.
...
Kenny walked out of the PC shop and sighed. "I still don't understand. Dizzi is alright but why can't she read the data well?" he pondered out loud.
Kenny began to walk down the street until,
He suddenly spotted Mister X.
"It's him." Kenny whispered out loud, all while adjusting his glasses. He then started to follow Mister X's trails from behind without him being caught as a stalker. I mean he wasn't. He was just curious into what Mister X was planning anyways.
Kenny was about to cross the street but that's when a black van came to a halt in front of him. He stumbled back and fell.
Two men in the van with black suits and spectacles snickers and scurried off.
Kenny got up and saw Mister X in no sight.
"That was my best chance..." sighed Kenny.
...
Afterwards, Ashley, Kenny and Takao all gathered by the river.
Kenny was just finishing telling Ashley and Takao about his encounter with Mister X and how he lost him.
Takao seemed to take it all in until he screamed in frustration. He then got up and got to his knees and began to... do push ups?
Ashley only stared at Takao like he's gone crazy but she stayed silent. She couldn't help but to giggle.
There was beeping noise coming from Dizzi. "Heads up, Kyoujyu. You got an email."
Turns out, it was an email from Max, with an attached file.
Ashley silently 'ohhh' and batted her lashes at Kenny. "Max? From the BBA team?" she asked.
"Yup! Right now he's in New York with his mom." Takao inquired. "So what did he sent you?" He asked Kenny.
Takao, Kyoujyu, listen to this.
We've got incredible opponents on our hands. My Draciel lost in an instant. Some rrandom girl in a cloak challenged me to a Beybattle and won! I don't know how she did it, but she did.
The three gathered to see Kenny's screen as Dizzi played the attached file to the email.
The Beyblade seemed to be doing the same thing like Mister X's blade.
Max lost the match too like it was nothing.
Ashley nodded and slumped back, her fingers above her lower lip.
'This couldn't be a coincidence? No it couldn't be. She's not the same person as the one I encountered right?' Ashley pondered. "Whoa..." was all she managed to whisper.
Takao was getting mad and all he could do was scream in annoyance. Nothing seemed to be making any sense.
The next day, Ashley was in the middle of taking notes of the lesson of the day. She looked at her brother from her side.
Takao was sleeping in class. He looked cute to Ashley and she couldn't help but to smile. She turned her gaze to the board and started to pondered.
All Ashley could think about was the situation her brother and Max were in. She can't say for sure if she should be a part of the situation. Besides, she did declined the challenger back in London.
Did she ruined her chances of a lifetime of adventure? Afraid so. If she wasn't so selfish and had accepted the challenger to a duel then she could've had wild ride with her brother like he did in the world tour with the BBA team.
Ashley sulked and slumped her head down to her arms. Why did she declined? Maybe if she had accepted then maybe she would've been a help to her brother and Kenny and to Max but no.
Hilary rose her hand up as Miss Kincaid has asked for the answer to the problem she had put up on the board.
Everything was silent and Ashley had her eyes closed for a moment until...
"I don't get it!" Takao suddenly sat up from his nap and screamed, causing everyone to look at him.
Ashley jolted up and stared at Takao, who looked at all the eyes glued to him and he suddenly shrunk back to his seat.
"No one asked you, Takao!" Hilary remarked.
Takao swallowed, sweatdropping and blinked.
"Were you sleeping in class again?" Hilary narrowed her eyes in suspicious.
"No, you see, uhm..." Takaa rubbed his head sheepishly and laughed nervously.
...
After school, Ashley, Kenny and Takao sat outside of the school's entrance steps and were discussing the situation.
Suddenly Kenny's mother showed up, looking quite annoyed. "By the way, there's mail waiting for you back home. From someone named, Rei?"
Ashley's pupils shrunk and gasped silently. 'Rei Kon?'
"It's not everyday we get a letter from him." Takao said.
Kenny too wondered that and Ashley seemed to be in a daze and wondering that herself too.
Out of nowhere, Hilary and a bunch of girls surrounded the three. They were all carrying cleaning supplies with them.
Ashley shrunk and sweatdropped. This can't be good.
Takao rose a brow. "What do you want?" he asked into which only Hilary glared at him and pointed a broom directly at him, as if it were an actual weapon.
Takao stumbled back and fell.
"Can't you tell? We're going to make you clean every last nook and cranny." Hilary declared.
Takao blinked but could only gulp. His face then seemed to go pale. "Uhhh..." at a lost for words, Tyson turned to Ashley and Kenny and boy, Déjà vu right? "A little help?"
Kenny turned away and looked unsure. "Uhm... Sorry! There's a letter waiting for me!" and with that, he scurried off before he could be dragged along with Takao on cleaning duty.
Takao huffed but turned to his last hope. "Sis?"
Ashley turned paled. She awkwardly scratched her cheek and sighed. 'Forgive me'. Boy, she ran. She ran from the scene and abandoned her brother. And what's even worse, she didn't made up an excuse like the last time.
"Ashley! Ashley! You— Ashley! What kind of sister are you?!" Takao screamed as his sister fled for her dear life.
...
Ashley ran and ran until she reached to a park not so far from campus. She tried to catch her breath from all the running she did. She went to reach her book bag and took out a water bottle that was pink with white hearted-outline pattern. She took a gulp and finally placed her bottle back in her back.
The sun was shining brightly and Ashley had to shield her eyes from the sun with her arm. She then looked down and realized that she was all alone.
Right, she left Takao.
Ashley sighed and couldn't help but to feel guilty for abandoning her brother like that with those girls.
Suddenly, a gust of wind came by and Ashley had to close her eyes for a brief moment to not get any dirt in her eyes.
Once the gust had stopped, she opened her eyes and Ashley couldn't believe her sight.
Standing in front of her, was none other than him, Mister X himself.
Ashley didn't know what to do. She slowly backed away and gulped.
The boy only looked at Ashley with his green-tealed eyes of his. "Where's your brother?" Mister X asked with a demanding tone.
Ashley didn't responded. She wasn't sure how to respond. She felt hopeless.
Ashley gulped but tried to look tough. She looked at Mister X with her arms crossed now. "Brother? You mean, my brother?"
Mister X rose a brow. "Yeah, Kinomiya Takao. Where is he?"
Ashley tilted her head. "I'm sorry but he doesn't have any business with you. You'll need to make an appointment with him. He's got clients to deal with right now." she said a-matter-factly while eyeing at Mister X up and down.
The boy sweatdropped, 'What is this?' he thought.
"Ashley." He said
Ashley only hummed in response as Mister X continued.
"Where is Takao?" He demanded once again.
Ashley still had that business woman immitation still being portrayed. "Sorry. Your call couldn't be taken. Please wait until you hear your number is called."
Mister X didn't know what was happening. "Hn." Can be heard from him.
...
Kenny finally got home and ran up to his room. He grabbed the letter that his mother mentioned to him earlier and began to read it.
Kyoujyu,
Sorry that this is how I contact you after this long. After returning to China, I suffered my first defeat. I went up against a boy without knowing his name or where he was from. I'll admit I let my guard down. But that's when, I felt a strange force that I had never felt before.
Kenny read the letter over and over again. He sat on his bed and lay down.
So Rei was also targeted too?
Kenny didn't understood what this could all mean.
...
"Wait!"
Meanwhile, Takao was trying to run away from the hoards of his classmates that were girls, including running away from Hilary.
"Like hell I'll wait!" Takao yelled.
"Just give up already!" Hilary shouted.
"You give up!"
The mob of girls continued to chase Takao all over.
"You don't know when to quit!" Takao sprinted through town and he was starting to lose his breath. He hid behind an alley and all seemed to be a coast and clear.
"Found you!"
Spoke too soon...
Takao screeched and ran away from Hilary. He dashed until he came to reach towards a park.
Takao caught a familiar face.
It was Ashley.
Takao walked closer to Ashley and realized that she wasn't alone. There was someone with her. He wonder just who Ashley was with. That's when he recognized the cloak.
It was Mister X.
Ashley continued to look at Mister X up and down as Mister X looked away... shyly and cleared his throat.
Ashley didn't know how much longer she had to pull this tough act.
"Ashley?"
Oh thank god...
Ashley dropped her arms and the weight of her shoulders was lifted. She turned to her brother with a relieved expression on her face. "Takao!" she said with the sound of relief in her tone.
Mister X silently sighed in relieved too. He was feeling all awkward and he was thanking the heavens that Takao showed up.
Takao walked by her side and smiled. He then eyed at Mister X and there was no doubt about it. It was him alright.
Takao and Mister X only stared at one another and he could only smile. "We meet again, mystery boy."
Ashley stared at Takao but then she went up front, arms crossed once again as she put on that businesswoman act. "Excuse me."
Mister X look away from Takao. "Hm?"
Ashley eyed at mystery boy (as Takao would call him). "In order for you to have a rematch with my brother, I need you to state your name and business."
Takao blinked as so did Mister X.
Mister X stiffened. "It's Ozuma."
"Ozuma?" Takao and Ashley whispered.
Standing behind the twins, Hilary blinked, and whispered, "Takao?"
A gust of wind came as there was only silence.
...
In the meantime...
Dizzi kept on crashing while Kenny was still trying to study Max's battle. "Come on Dizzi. Don't crash on me now." he said.
That's when Kenny noticed something off about Max's opponent and Mister X's blades. "Hm? What is this?" he asked out loud.
"Dizzi, try this." Kenny said and started to type and zoomed in on the spinning top.
Dizzi was complaining about doing a comparison and analyzing both videos. "Would you like fries with that too?" she said sarcastically.
You know, Kenny would like to go for some fries. Yeah, frying up Dizzi's chip if she doesn't cooperate—
"Hmm, there's something more. Like a mysterious force inside of it. Hmm, I think I almost got it." Kenny began to type some more. "Please don't crash on me Dizzi. Just wait... until I finish this analysis." he pleaded.
"It's getting real hot here." Dizzi began to sound all static and the screen was getting static as well. "I found it!" Kenny exclaimed as he fell back on his chair then got up.
"I can't believe it!" Kenny looked up at the screen, shocked.
"This is a sacred beast! Was he controlling an invisible Sacred Beast?!" gasping, Kenny stood on his feet and gasped. "Takao! Oh I hope Takao and him don't cross or Dragoon will turn to dust. I gotta tell him before I'm too late!"
[ENDING: OZONE STARTS]
The city of Tokyo light's dazzling with life. him having his hands on his hips).
Kai's silhouette with his arms crossed while looking up.
Ashley's silhouette, her hair down, however caught in a delicate breeze.
Rei's silhouette was standing still while seeming looking up.
Max's silhouette having his hands behind his head.
And ending it with Kenny looking down while holding onto his laptop and Hilary setting her hair behind her ear with her hand.
[Ama no gawa ukabu Se no hikui oka
Miwatasu keshiki wa Souzou to chigau,]
Takao was staring out at the river, as Dragoon's spirit can be seen flying above the nighty-starry Sky.
[Ano koro to kurabe Mae ni susumeta?
Kotae wa NO ja nai Dakedo tarinai,]
The borderline was next on this list. Kai was looking out through the distance with his arms crossed above his torso, staring out at the sea. Dranzer bursting it's majestic flame wings out to the sea.
[Ijiwaru na "Kami" ga Bokura tamesunda
Kuuseki wo umete,]
Rei was standing on top of construction sight, on one of the rusty rails while looking about the clear-light sky, Driger in the middle of the air with its claws out and roaring at the sun.
As for Max can be seen below the sight, looking down while having a doubt look in his oceanic hues. Draciel bursted in the background, with water raining down in the back.
[Tsugi no suteeji e mukaou,]
A bright light glowed. Takao, Kai, Rei, Max, Ashley, Kenny and Hilary all gazing from a beyblade.
[Donna kankei? nante kikaretara
Tomodachi ijou ka na... Sore mo sukoshi chigau ka...]
Ashley had her hair flowing into the air with a white ribbon on her left hand. Having her pink umbrella, above was her Wolverine, howling at the seemingly visible rainbow above the two while the park rained.
[Kizuna to iu kotoba ga fusawashii
Kenkashiai nagara Wakachiai nagara,]
Hilary and Kenny were staring out at magnificent ocean before them. All Holy Beasts above the oceanic water.
[Nee ima, doko? Chikyuun naka,]
Background theme is space.
Hilary had her hands flowing from her hips as Kenny (having his laptop on his side) gave a salute.
[Uchuuhikoushi ja nai kara,]
Rei looked above as his long ponytail flow around him while floating in front of Driger.
Max had his hand raised while a bit of his abdomen from the lack of gravity in space, but still, Max had a smile while having his Draciel by his side.
[OZONE yori shita nara mondai nai,]
Ashely looked above her with her hand out and while floating as if she were sitting down, one leg a bit bend and the other not. Wolverine was right behind her, howling up above.
Kai just had his arms crossed and eyes closed. Being floated and almost having the same stance as Ashley with his leg a bit bend and the other not. Dranzer behind him while having it's fiery wings spread.
Takao just smiled while having his arms on his hips. His hat almost wanting to come off. Dragoon was flying behind him in stance.
[Wakatteru, sugu iku, Asa made sawagitai no deshou,]
Takao and Hilary were bickering as the rest of the group having either a sweat drop, an 'oh-brother' look, or simply not minding the two's business (most likely, Kai).
["Taisetsu na ibasho de."]
A picture of the group appeared with them all smiling.
