Summary: It's been a little over two years since the end of G-Revolution, but the BBA is back to form and is celebrating by throwing its first championship tourney since. With such fierce competition there's only one solution…

It was early, too early in fact for a certain Hilary who was standing outside the apartment building of her new Beyblade instructor, Kai. Still half asleep, Hilary stared upwards at the top from the top of the building and then brought her gaze down to the intercom. It took her a little longer than normal to spot his name on the list, and before she could press the button something stopped her. It was her cell phone vibrating in her pocket; Hilary picked it up and saw that she indeed receive a text, but it was a surprise who sent it.

"Kai? I'm here what is he…is he getting on my case already?" She mumbled, pressing the button on her phone to open the message.

Rooftop, come from outside.

Was all the message said; even in his writing, Kai is very vague. The message confused Hilary.

"What does he mean come from…oh no, I'm not climbing the fire escape!" She complained as she walked around to the side of the building and looked up to find the fire escape wasn't even pushed down for anyone to grab onto. Hilary sighed and mentally braced herself.

"Kai better be up there…" She grumbled as she looked at the obstacle that lie before her.

Hilary looked at the ladder for the fire escape which hung a good three feet above her head. For at least a few minutes she asked herself, how could she get up there? It was only a couple of minutes after that did something click in her head. She noticed the closed dumpster adjacent to the suspended ladder, and thought if she could somehow get on the dumpster she could make a jump for the ladder. So she decided to give it a go, after a running start she pulled herself up onto the closed dumpster. After that she looked straight ahead at the ladder. All rusty and unpleasant looking, it almost seemed to taunt Hilary, as if it was some sort of test Kai had set up for Hilary. Once she figured that it was some test, a fierce look of determination came in her eyes before she darted and leapt from the edge of the dumpster and reached out. She hoped for the best and expected the worst but she indeed grabbed hold of the bottom step of the ladder.

"Oh I shouldn't have stayed out with the others so late." She moaned as she pulled herself up the steps of the ladder until she could put her feet on the lower steps. Hilary climbed the ladder and moved on to the other levels of the escape. It took her a few minutes but she finally made it to the very top, and as soon as she put her foot down on the rooftop something crashed right next to it that caused Hilary to jump in surprise and almost made her fall completely off the building. She saw what had stricken her and she couldn't believe what it was. The Dranzer beyblade that had just missed her foot had jumped back across the entire length of the rooftop and into the hands of its owner, Kai.

"Are you crazy?" Hilary shrieked at him while he continued to stand there, arms crossed looking straight ahead.

"You're late." He said bluntly. Frustrated, Hilary marched up to him.

"Well I would've been on time but somebody wouldn't let me inside and had me climb the fire escape!" She argued back loudly. Kai just looked at her with no expression.

"Are you ready or not?" He asked, resetting Hilary's mood. She looked down and mumbled her answer.

"A-actually Kai, I um, I-I don't, uh…" She stuttered while twirling the ends of her hair. Kai sighed dropping his arms to his sides before he picked up a small duffle bag and tossed it to her.

"I thought so, here." He said as she stumbled before she caught the bag in her arms.

"What is this?" She asked. To be blunt, Hilary was just plain confused.

"I figure you've spent enough time around Beyblades to know how to make your own." Was all he said before turning around and walking to the other side of the rooftop, and climbed on top of the doorway to get a bird's eye view of his pupil.

Hilary looked down at the bag and rattled it a little to hear a lot of loose articles bouncing around inside. She grabbed hold of the zipper and when she pulled it all the way around, beyblade parts scattered everywhere.

"This is gonna be a long day." She mumbled, slumping over the spilled parts, clearly not looking forward to her next task.

"Move it ladies!" Taunted Hiro as he egged on his team or most of it as Ray, Max, Tyson and Daichi ran up and down the sand of the beach in that order. It was the beginning of summer and it was pretty warm outside making the exercising worse for those who didn't like working out to begin with, namely Tyson.

"I…hate…running…!" complained the champ as he trailed Max only by about a step or two, while Ray ran a few lengths ahead, leaving behind the youngest, Daichi in the dust. They continued to run until each of them ran until Hiro stopped them. As they all huffed and puffed, catching their breath the guys looked to their coach who approached them.

"Are you done sitting around?" He asked, looking down at his team that was sprawled out on the sand below them. Tyson sat up and wiped his brow.

"Now can we start…beyblading?" He asked through heavy breaths. His brother looked over to him and smiled.

"Sure, after you all do a hundred push-ups and sit-ups." He said with enthusiasm as the others moaned.

"Thanks a lot Tyson, you just had to ask." Ray complained as he got himself into position for a set of push-ups. Max followed suit, unhappily; the same as Daichi who complained further.

"Can't you ever just keep your big mouth shut?" he said before getting his head pushed towards the sand.

"What was that for?" The younger blader shouted at Tyson who began doing push-ups himself.

"Practice what you preach." Tyson said with certain strain in his voice.

"Yeah the sooner we finish this…the better…!" Max grumbled as he pushed himself up and let himself back down for another rep.

"Argh, I hate doing this!" Daichi said before starting his push-up set as well.

"Where the heck is Kai?" Tyson shouted as he brought himself up from a rep.

"Add another fifty to your sets guys!" Hiro commanded the others as they all moaned again.

"SHUT UP TYSON!" Ray, Max and Daichi all yelled at their teammate who fell from his push-up position. He proceeded to get to his knees and yell into the air.

"Argh!"

Hilary yelled as she scrambled through the pile of spare parts Kai had given her. Building her own beyblade sounded a lot easier than what it actually entailed. She had to think what kind of style she wanted to blade with; attack like Tyson and Daichi, defense like Max, stamina like Ray, or balanced like Kai. Hilary decided to just try and make a balance type blade since it had a little of everything, and given everything she learned from watching the chief at work she was going for it. She shuffled the parts around and found a blue attack ring with two large blades on the ends, an octagon shaped weight disk, a right spin gear, and a blue base to match that had a retractable tip. She twisted it all together in her hands and held it up; it looked pretty good to her. All of the parts seemed to just go together. When she finished she picked up a launcher and ripcord from the pile and looked around for Kai.

"I'm up here, forgot already?" She heard him say and turned to see where he said it. He was still sitting atop the doorway, legs crossed, in a meditative position while his trusty Dranzer spun in front of him. He opened his eyes to find his student standing below with her beyblade in hand. He smirked before he got up and hopped off the doorway, landing directly in front of Hilary.

"What's so funny?" she asked, noticing his smirk.

"That beyblade…" he started, pointing to the blade in Hilary's hand.

"It suits you." He said as he proceeded to walk past her and clear all of the spare parts away with his foot.

"What's that supposed to mean! Oh, whatever." She said looking down at the blade in her hand. When she thought about it, it would seem like something Kai would use in a beyblade.

"…Well." Kai said impatiently as he stood back, giving Hilary enough room. Lost, she just looked at him and blinked.

"Well what?"

"Launch your beyblade, I need to see what you can do, don't I?" Kai asked crossing his arms.

"Huh, oh right, here goes nothing." She said meekly as she held the launcher in one hand while pushing the ripcord through the opening with the other, and once she did that Hilary grabbed her blade and locked it in. All ready for launch she took an athletic stance and then she…

"Let it rip!" She shouted, pulling the ripcord, setting her beyblade loose. It was spinning with nice velocity at first, but a couple of seconds later it went out of control, spiraling all across the roof top bouncing off everything it could until it made its way for Kai. When it did the 'teacher' simply hopped out of its way and launched his beyblade at it, sending it up in the air before it crashed down on the ground in front of its owner.

"What do you call that?" He asked while catching his blade after tucking his launcher away. A little frustrated, Hilary snapped back.

"Oh shut up, I'm new at this." She complained before picking her beyblade up and looking at it.

"Your stance was off." Hilary heard Kai say, and when she looked up he was standing directly in front of her.

"What…?" She asked getting a light shade of pink in her cheeks from having eye contact. Kai walked around her and stood behind as he asked her to get in her pre-launching stance again. Hilary did as she was asked and could feel that he was close to her. Standing right behind her in fact; Hilary felt his eyes on her as he studied her form to get a better look to see what's wrong with it.

"Raise your shoulder." He ordered, placing a hand lightly on her right shoulder. A little surprised Hilary head shot up and blushed a little again, but good thing Kai couldn't see. She did as he told and picked her right shoulder up, however, Kai wasn't done correcting her.

"And you elbow…" he said before putting his other hand on her left elbow, lifting it slightly so that it was even with her hands.

"O-okay…" she mumbled as her blush intensified; and Hilary felt pretty lucky that Kai was still behind her and was not able to see her face.

"Adjust your feet too." Kai said again while using his foot to push hers to where he wanted them. Finished he stepped back and told her to try launching her beyblade again. She took a deep breath before counting down in her head.

3…2…1…

"Let it Rip!" She hollered again, pulling back the ripcord and setting her blade off and this time it landed in front of her and remained there.

"All right!" Hilary cheered seeing the results of Kai's advice pay off, but wasn't feeling the enthusiasm.

"What are you cheering about, a toddler can do that; why don't you try, I don't know, moving around?" Kai taunted her, causing Hilary to look up at him now standing at a distance in front of her. This distracted her enough for Kai to notice that her beyblade began to wobble.

"Hilary!" he snapped at her as she brought her gaze back down to her blade and saw how it was behaving. She focused as much as she could to bring it back to form and made it move forward. It approached Kai who was only looking at Hilary, to try and spot any mistakes, but none were made as she made the beyblade make a sudden stop by his feet and dart back towards her.

"That's it, come on…!" She urged her beyblade on as it continued to move around, progressing to doing basic turns and slaloms until it hit a crack in the ground and stumbled before eventually stopping its spin.

"Argh, I was on a roll too…!" Hilary grumbled as she picked up her beyblade while Kai approached her.

"Try again, and this time…" Kai began as he reached in his pocket and pulled out a folded up piece of paper. It looked rather old and very worn; he must've been holding on to it for a while now. Hilary's curiosity rose as he unfolded it.

"Just stick with the basics." He finished as he held up the paper and Hilary could not believe her eyes.

"Is that…it can't be…!" She leaned in to examine the old training schedule Kai held in his hands, the same one she had made for the rest of the guys when she had first met them, three years ago.

"You've kept this old thing, for this long?" She asked, taking the paper out of Kai's hands gently and kept clamoring on as she looked at it, while he looked at her and a small smile crept up on his face.

"Ninety eight…Ninety nine…one hundred!" Tyson cried as he finished the last of his push-ups. He collapsed on the ground, joining the others who were sprawled on the sand next to him.

"Took you guys long enough, I think it's about time we start blading. We'll do the basics first, then move on from there and finally some head to head battles." Hiro said as his team slowly picked themselves up off the ground.

"Well, get going, move it!" He barked at them as they all got the launchers ready to go.

"Let it rip!" Ray, Max, Daichi, and Tyson all said together as their beyblades spun around the beystadium Hiro set up during their workout. As the others were beyblading, Hiro saw Kenny arrive from the corner of his eye and turned when the chief approached him.

"Hey Kenny, I'm guessing you finished it?" He asked Kenny who set down his laptop and reached in his pocket.

"Yep, finished it last night in fact; here it is, Metal Driger Metal Spark." Kenny said, handing the new beyblade to its rightful owner.

"Thanks chief, I'll use it on the guys later. I wonder if Kai will be here by then." Hiro said as Kenny took a seat on the bench behind him and set up his laptop.

"Yeah me too, but when Hilary told me he agreed to teach her how to beyblade I almost fell out of my seat." The chief said while typing away on his laptop.

"Same here, but why did Kai agree to it? Knowing how he is, it doesn't really make sense." Hiro said holding his chin as he watched his team do their drills.

"Who knows with him, but I'll bet it'd be fun to see how Kai is going about it."

"Well if Hilary comes back alive then I'd say it would be a success." Hiro joked as he and Kenny shared in brief laughter.

"Go Driger!" They heard Ray cheer in the distance followed by Daichi's complaining.

"No fair, Tyson's been tailgating me!"

"Excuses, excuses Daichi, now shut up and keep blading." Tyson argued back at his younger teammate who growled back at him.

"Watch out, go Draciel!" Max exclaimed as hid blade charged for the others.

"They seem to be on point." Kenny inquired, looking up from his laptop.

"Yeah still seems like they have that synergy from a couple of years ago, but I hope that's going to be enough. It's been over two years since there was any serious competition; I just hope they're ready for teams like the Justice 5." Hiro expressed his concern over his team. Worried that the guys might've gotten soft over the time of the BBA's recovery, Hiro continued to watch his team closely.

Time had passed as the sun was beginning to set on the horizon after a long day. A very long day in fact for the beyblader in training Hilary, as she got up for another round against her teacher. Her fingers were a little sore and she had put her hair up in a ponytail, mentally and physically exhausted from her all day training. And then there was Kai who had been doing his own thing while instructing his new student at the same time, making him tired as well but he did a much better job of hiding his fatigue. They were ready to face off again as they both picked up their launchers.

"Let it Rip!" Hilary gave her battle cry while Kai just grunted as he pulled back on his launcher sending both of their beyblades into the dish. The match had just started and already Dranzer was doing laps around Hilary's beyblade. She had been struggling just to keep up with Kai all day; it really baffled the poor girl.

How can he keep moving like that? He's been doing workouts all day and teaching me and he still races around…maybe I'm in over my head here, I've never been able to do this before...he's just too good.

"Today Hilary!" Kai barked, snapping her out of her train of thought while his beyblade still lapped around hers.

"Hiya!" she shouted, making her beyblade charge towards Dranzer and Kai let the attack hit resulting in the two blades grinding around the dish's perimeter. Kai dropped his crossed arms to his sides, becoming impatient with this battle he made Dranzer drop back and charge right in with a heavy strike, sending Hilary's beyblade soaring as it landed next to her feet. She looked down in shock at her beyblade and then back up at Kai who just caught his.

"Hmm, better…" Kai said walking away from his student who picked her defeated beyblade. Hilary sighed and slumped her shoulders.

"That's enough for today…are you coming?" Kai asked her as he held stood in the doorway, holding the door open. She looked up and saw him standing there looking directly at her, she nodded and picked herself up and followed him inside.

"Problem?" Kai asked, looking over his shoulder as he led Hilary down the hallway towards his apartment. She looked up from her hunched over posture.

"You saw me back there I stunk." Hilary complained as they turned a corner. Looking ahead, Kai replied.

"It was your first day, don't feel bad." He said without looking at her. Hilary was a little surprised, or was it relief, over Kai's words. While she was contemplating what Kai said they had arrived at Kai's door.

"You know I've never been here before." Hilary said while Kai reached in his pocket for the key to his apartment. He didn't say anything in response when he turned the key and opened the door, and when he did Hilary's mouth damn near hit the floor. Kai's apartment was sooo nice, or at least that's how Hilary would describe it briefly. For starters the place was huge, probably taking up the whole floor. Hard wood floors throughout, different furniture theme in every room, it all just seemed so nice…and expensive.

"Make yourself comfortable, I'll be right back." Kai said, leaving Hilary in the living room before switching the TV on. Hilary sat on the couch that was a lot more comfortable than it looked, and looked around the room some more. She found that he didn't have many pictures of people, just those of recent years with the rest of the people from beyblading, herself included. Before she had a chance to look around some more, Kai returned with a couple of bottles of water and towels.

"Oh thanks!" Hilary said cheerfully. Kai handed her a towel and a water bottle with a straight face and took a seat on the other side of the couch. Hilary patted herself down with her towel, around her forehead, her cheeks, her neck, and although she didn't see, Kai looked at her the entire time. When she was done, he looked away after realizing what he was doing, but Hilary noticed something else about Kai. He had taken his blue face paint off; guess he was done beyblading for the day. Kai took a sip of his water before sitting back on his couch and crossing his arms.

"Hey, Kai?" Hilary asked Kai who was sitting back, eyes closed, trying to relax.

"Hmm?" He didn't even bring himself to speak. Assuming that was all she would get out of him, Hilary continued.

"I hope you don't mind me asking but how do you afford this place? I mean it seems really expensive." She said while Kai opened his eyes and sat back up.

"Let's just say, I came into some family money." He said. Family money, what is Kai a Rockefeller?

"Bet it's more than the allowance my parents used to give me." She joked and even managed to get Kai to smirk.

"Um, can I ask how much…if you don't mind…?" She managed to get out. Kai looked over at her with the same glare he gives everybody. Hilary guessed she was annoying him with that question since it did seem a bit rude, but despite her doubts, Kai sighed.

"Okay hang on…" he said before reaching for a pad and pen resting on the table in front of them. He scribbled a number down.

"Here's how much I received." He said showing Hilary the paper. The amount he had written down caused Hilary's eyes to pop out of her head and her jaw to hit the floor. That was enough money to last Kai ten lifetimes, he was loaded. He probably could've started his own beyblading league with all of that cash.

"Y-you don't have to work a day in your life with all that money!" Hilary couldn't help her shouting making Kai cringe in response.

"Ah, do you have to yell? You're not the first one to tell me that, but now I have a question for you?" He said, snapping Hilary out her shock.

"Why did you ask me to teach you beyblading? There were a lot of other people you could've asked; Kenny, Hiro, even Tyson has some tips to offer so why did you pick me?" He asked. Hilary looked up at him with her big brown eyes and met his as he looked at her, waiting for his answer. Face turning red, Hilary tried to come up with something to say.

"Um well…I…I guess I didn't want to feel left out since I'm the only one out of everybody who can't beyblade." She said.

"That's a good answer but it doesn't answer my question; why me Hilary?" Kai caught her. Hilary's eyes widened for a second before she took a deep breath and continued.

"I…I don't know Kai, I…I just…" She was saying until the ringing of a telephone interrupted her. It was Kai's house phone ringing, making Kai get up and walk across the room to answer it.

"Hello…" He answered the phone. He turned around to look at Hilary.

"Yeah." Kai said into the phone while walking back to the couch. Hilary looked at him curiously as he sat back down on the couch next to her.

"Okay." Kai said before hanging up the phone and putting down on the table.

"Who was that?" Hilary asked.

"Kenny; he was checking to see if you were still one piece, and everyone's at Max's." He said while Hilary rolled her eyes.

"Well you should've told him I'm better than ever!" She said flexing her arm, before Kai snorted and began chuckling.

"What?" Hilary snapped him.

"You; it's only been one day, it gets a whole lot harder trust me…" he started with a smirk until he looked over at her and saw the innocent look in her eye after he laughed at her.

"I mean, if you want to keep going with it." He said, dropping his smirk and looking away. Hilary looked at him, and then around before finally standing up, getting Kai to look up at her.

"I'll be back Kai, but for now let's go join the others." She said smiling at him.

At Max's house, the scene around the dinner table could've been described as a war zone. Mainly being the battle between Tyson, Daichi and mustard as they waged war over portions.

"Hey, I called that chicken!" Tyson shouted.

"Well too bad I got it first!" Daichi argued while Max put mustard on the younger beyblader's plate.

"Hey, what did you do that for?" Daichi yelled back.

"It makes it better." Max said.

"No it doesn't!"

"Yes it does!" They argued back and forth while Ray, Hiro, Kenny and Max's father sat around the table watching world war three ensue before them.

"Don't you love having them over." Hiro said sarcastically to Max's dad, who leaned over.

"Oh yeah…love it." He said holding in his urge to throw his two unruly house guests out before someone rang his door bell.

"Max, why don't you get that?" His father said.

"Sure." Max replied, getting up from the table. Seeing his opportunity, Daichi switched his plate with Tyson.

"Hey!" Tyson protested.

"Hey Hilary you're alive, I thought Kai would've killed you by now." Max cheered after opening his door to see Kai and Hilary. They walked in to join the others as Tyson dropped his argument with Daichi.

"Well believe it or not Max, I happen to be pretty good." Hilary argued back.

"Is this true Kai?" Max asked.

"Eh, sort of." He said blandly.

"Thanks a lot Kai." Hilary sarcastically expressed her gratitude as they took their seats around the table.

"That sounds promising." Tyson snorted, taking a bite of his food.

"Hey everyone has a hard time with it at first." Ray defended Hilary before Daichi hopped up on the table.

"Yeah everyone but me!" He said holing his fork up like some sort of torch.

"You wish!" Max argued starting another battle.

"Oh yeah!"

"Yeah!"

"Not again…!" Max's dad said rubbing the side of his head as the guys engaged in another squabble that would rock the house.
