Chaos: Finally got this one done! It took awhile, but I finally did it. *wipes forehead*
Spencer: Well maybe if you wouldn't slack off so much.
Chaos: *glares at Spencer*
Spencer: Fine, I'll do the stupid disclaimer. Chaoschick12 doesn't own beyblade or its characters thankfully. Just her OC's
Chaos: Thank you Spencer! Enjoy everyone!
~*First Battle*~
For the next two weeks, the boys trained hard making sure Tonya could keep up with them. A lot of stuff they did she wasn't used to, but she refused to quit even once. Most times at night if they went to check on her in her room, they could hear her cussing from the pain. But in front of them she hid the fact that she was aching and they gave her credit for it. Despite her mainly bubbly nature, the guys were slowly warming to her and accepting her onto the team. But her sleep never improved. Almost every night she'd woken up sweating and shaking from a reoccurring nightmare that she couldn't suppress. She never once told the guys about it. They had enough to worry about without her adding to their problems.
Finally it was the day of the tournament and they all headed for the stadium, wanting to get there early. Tala didn't want to be harassed right of the back because of the new addition to his team. Luck was with them when they arrived and hardly anyone was at the stadium. When they entered, Tonya looked around her and was just a little stunned.
"Wow, hard to believe I'm actually here." She heard Kai step up next to her and let out a low chuckle.
"You're not gonna freak on us and screw up are you?" He looked at her with teasing eyes and she just shoved him as she rolled her own.
Tala led the way down to their locker room. The hallways underneath the stands were long and confusing if you weren't used to it. They dropped their gear and decided to chill for a bit. Tonya pulled out her mp3 and started to listen to another rock song, rock music helped her concentrate better. She sat in a corner playing with the fishnet on the top of her shirt as the guys all looked over their blades. Kai had taken her shopping to get a new outfit and sleep clothes of her own. She'd gone into only one store and that was it. She'd gotten a halter top shirt that had black tie strings. The top half of the shirt was made of fishnet, and it went as low as the top of her cleavage. The rest was purple that went down to about her belly and showed of her piercing. It was of a crescent moon, given to her as a going away present by her uncle. Instead of gloves like the guys, she got her nails painted, none of the guys understood why either. She got black pants and wore regular shoes. With a change of wardrobe she looked as if she was meant to be on their team.
"I still don't get the whole hardcore look you have Tonya." Bryan looked at her and she just shrugged.
"I didn't get it for the look, even though it works. I got it for the colors because black and purple are my favorite. Plus it says I'm beautiful yet dangerous, get it right." She winked at him and he just shook his head.
All the teams had arrived finally and the stands were packed. When it was time, Tala led his team to a room that held a platform in it. They all stepped in and the door shut on them. A little light was left on, but none of them were really bothered by the dark. Up top they could here DJ Jazzman starting things off.
"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the world championships!" the crowd roared loudly and Jazzman continued.
"As you all know there was a change of rules this year. The matches will be decided with the best 3 out of 5 and each team has to have 5 members. But what had to be the biggest shocker for some is that this year each team is required to have a female on their teams! Yes you heard right folks! Whether she be a manager or blader she has to be apart of the team. Now let's bring out our teams shall we?" the crowd roared once again as the first team slowly rose up from the floor.
BBA Revolution was first. Max had joined their team since PPB All Stars had enough to make a team. Zeo had also come back to blade along side of his old friends. Next was White Tiger X, PPB All Stars, BT Battalion formerly known as Barthez Battalion with Raul as their new addition to their team. Majestics rose up with Julia down in front next to Oliver. The Justice 5 had joined too and many guys screamed for Ming Ming and her team. A new team had also risen up by the name of Eternal Knights. All the teams, except for the newest one, looked around wondering if the Russian team was going to join them this year.
"And now for the team you've all been waiting for! This team wasn't going to let a little rule change keep them from competing! Give it up for the Blitzkrieg Bladers!"
They slowly rose up and Tonya could hear more girls screaming than anything else. She could feel all eyes on them and she just stood there with a smile on her face. She'd been pushed up to the very front, with Tala and Kai standing behind her. Her arms were folded over her waist and Kai was glad to see that this didn't phase her one bit.
"Now that we have all eight teams out let's see who will be battling first!" He motioned to the big screen and everyone watched as lights bounced from the teams' icon. It finally landed on BBA Revolution and White Tiger X.
All other teams cleared the field so the first match could get under way. Tala wanted to head up, so they could watch and see if any teams had improved and come up with new attacks. As they were heading up though, they ran into their least favorite team. Justice 5 was walking towards them and Garland wore a smug look on his face. Tala stopped and his fist began to shake, trying to restrain himself from hitting his least favorite person. Tonya wondered what was going on. She looked at Spencer and Bryan who just moved her behind them.
"Well, well. Didn't think you'd be competing this year Tala." Garland stopped about a good 5 ft. away from the already angered Tala. He finally got back in control and a smirk graced his lips.
"You didn't think I'd miss a chance to beat the shit out of you now did I Garland?" Venom seeped into his voice and Garland just chuckled.
"I think you're forgetting who won our last battle Tala. And I've only gotten stronger while you've probably been playing baby sitter to your new teammate. Where is she now?" Garland looked around and Spencer had to restrain Tonya to keep her from moving. Spencer could feel the little girl's anger seeping off of her.
"Oh well, whether you've been working or not you'll still lose like you did last time around." Now it was Garland smirking and Kai kept an eye on Tala. He didn't like to be reminded of that and now he was furious. "I bet your team won't even stand a chance agains—" But he never got out his insult.
He'd been shut up by not Tala, but someone who was equally pissed. A hand print, accompanied by a few small scratches, was clearly visible across his face and it took everyone awhile before it registered that a girl had slapped Garland hard across his face. Garland slowly turned his face back and was looking down to see a small girl glaring at him with her hand still raised. Kai looked from her to Spencer who just looked back. Obviously she'd squired out of his grasp.
"Now I suggest you shut the hell up and quit insulting my team." Her voice was hard and icy. None of the guys had ever seen her so pissed off, not even when Bryan had pissed her off the first night. All Garland could do was stand there stunned. "Listen and listen good pretty boy. None of my teammates have ever had to baby sit me. I worked my ass off to earn their respect and that's why I'm on their team. Otherwise they would've dropped out and not competed this year. Unlike you, I choose to work and become the best and not have it handed to me."
One side of her face pulled up and everyone knew she was hitting below the belt. She was referring to when Boris had tried to take over using him. Kai stepped up next to Tonya, ready to pull her back if necessary. Tala stood on her other side and Garland just looked away. Kai pulled her gently away they all started to walk off, but Tonya stopped and Bryan and Spencer eyed her.
"Oh yeah, and next time you talk trash about me or my team it won't be a hand in your face. It'll be a fist." The threat was clear and she continued walking.
_._._
"What the hell was that about?" Tala glanced at Tonya out of the corner of his eye and she returned it. "I can fight my own battles." His voice was still hard and Tonya just sighed as she leaned back in her seat.
"I know you can. But incase you didn't hear he wasn't insulting just you. Plus he needed to be shut up. If you'd hit him he would've ratted you out. I highly doubt he'll go tell anyone that a girl slapped him across the face right in front of his teammates and us." She grinned at him and Tala shook his head.
"You confuse me. One minute you're pissed and ready to fight someone, and the next you're as happy as can be." Tala leaned his head on his fist as he watched the battle down below.
"Simple. It's like I told Kai the first night I came to stay with him, I'm not afraid to wear my emotions on my sleeves. You guys should try it sometime instead of keeping things bottled up." Tala tensed up next to her, but she didn't take notice. The battle was over and the next one began. She leaned forward and Tala looked at her.
"Where are you going?" His voice has lost its edge and she just smiled.
"I'm gonna head down and make sure my blade is in good condition. I'll be in the locker room if you need me." She got up and left quietly.
After getting out of the sight of Tala and her team, she broke into a run. She hurried to their room and when she got in she slammed the door behind her. She walked over to the couch and curled up on her side. She was in so much pain she wanted to scream, but didn't dare let out even a squeak. Her whole body throbbed with pain, there was nothing to describe it. Shadow could feel her pain but could do nothing to stop it. Her chest throbbed the most, as if it was the center of it all. Tonya knew she'd left just in time. If her team saw her in this state they wouldn't let her compete. There would be questions and she knew had to keep it a secret from them. Something above her sparked and a light busted, shattering glass onto the floor. Finally after 10 minutes of torture, it slowly evaporated away and left her feeling weak. Her eyes were wide with fear and her body was shaking. Her breathing was ragged and she was sweating. She took long, deep breaths and was able to gain control over her body again. She just lied there and closed her eyes, enjoying the silence.
"Hey Tonya you in here?" the door slammed open and Spencer walked in. Tonya had freaked out and caused herself to fall on the floor.
"Ow, that hurt." She got up and rubbed her backside.
"Didn't mean to scare you. We gotta go, it's our turn and we're facing the PPB All Stars." He waited for Tonya as he looked around the room. "What happened here?" Tonya looked at him and he pointed to the busted light.
"Oh, it just shorted out and exploded. That's why I was jumpy." She smiled at him and the two left room.
_._._
"Starting off this second match will be Kai going up against Michael!"
Michael wasn't happy at the thought of blading against Kai. He knew he was a tough opponent and after seeing how strong he was last year, Michael was either going to step up to the plate or go down swinging. Neither one wasted time with trash talk as they loaded their launchers and got ready to start the battle.
"Ready? 3, 2, 1, let it rip!"
Both boys launched and Kai went on the attack right away. Dranzer began slamming into Michael's blade hard and fast, not leaving any room for error. Kai wanted to finish this battle quickly. Michael could tell what he was doing and refused to be beaten so easily. Trygle began to go on the attack and started hitting Dranzer, but it did little good. No matter how many times he attacked the blue blade, it never took on any damage. Trygle began to lose speed and that's when Kai made his move.
"Dranzer finish this with Blazing Gig!" the blue blade sped up and blue flames followed it like a tail. It slammed into Michael's blade hard and sent it flying high to have it come crashing back down next to the PPB All Stars bench.
The crowd roared as Kai caught his blade and returned back to his bench. Rick was the next one up for the PPB All Stars and Tala started to stand, but Tonya was up before him and heading for the dish. Bryan and Spencer looked at her like she was crazy, but Tala just stood and stepped up next to her. Tonya glanced at him and he faced forward.
"What are you doing?" His voice wasn't angry, it was full of curiosity. He didn't think she'd want to face someone like Rick. He heard her giggle as she turned to face him.
"I'm gonna prove that I'm not some little girl to be taken lightly. Keep my spot warm for me, I'll be back soon." She winked and headed off towards the dish.
Tala turned and sat back down in his spot. Kai just looked at Tonya, as she passed him, to Tala who shook his head back and forth as he sat down. Kai sat down next to Tala and heard him mumble something along the line of 'stupid girl'. Rick just took one look at Tonya who was half his size and laughed. She ignored him as she loaded her blade as he just looked at her.
"Are you serious? Hey little girl you better get back to that bench and let the big boys battle." He smirked at her and Tonya just giggled like a little kid at tilted her head to the side while smiling at him.
"Well if you don't want to battle me then take your weak self back to your bench and maybe someone else can give me a better challenge than you." She stood there smiling at Rick who had steam coming out of his ears. He loaded his blade and took his stance.
"Bladers ready? 3, 2, 1, let it rip!"
As soon as Rick launched he forced his blade to go after Tonya's. Just like she had with Kai and Bryan, she easily dodged Rick's attacks. Her blade danced out of the way always at the last second, causing Rick to become more frustrated. All of them could see what she was up to. Rick had a bad temper, if he were to be unsettled it would make winning easy if you knew how to work it to your advantage. His anger pushed his blade on and Tonya stood there coolly, waiting for the right moment.
"Ok now it's time to turn the tides Shadow!" Her eyes became focused as her blade sped up even more.
The black blade became a blur as it dashed around the dish. Her blade would come in and strike Rick's blade and then back off before he had a chance to counter attack. She kept up her relentless attack with ease and Rick had finally had enough. When she came in to hit him, he held her and then forced her back. It didn't phase the blade, but Tonya stopped her attack. She was curious to see what he was going to do.
"Alright, since you think you can take me it's time to stop messing around! Rock Bison time to come out!" Rick punched the air as his blade began to glow and his bitbeast sprang forth. Rock Bison let out a cry and Rick looked at Tonya, expecting her to be afraid.
"Not bad. But I bet I can top it." She grinned as her blade began to glow. "Shadow it's time to spread your wings!" All of her teammates kept a good eye on her blade, this would be the first time any of them would see her bitbeast.
When Shadow came out, all the lights start to dim. The great black dragon was toned and when he revealed his teeth, many people in the crowd started to shiver. His eyes were yellow and the slits in them were red. He had silver horns that stuck straight back and silver claws too. He had spikes down his back that were also silver and ended at his tail that moved around like a whip. At the very end of it was a dagger that glimmered like his spikes in the light. He had spikes on the tops of his wings that were curved to a point. Shadow grinned as he let out a roar that sent shivers down the spines of the fans. None of the guys expected her bitbeast to be so big. Kai was the only one of them who'd ever really faced a darkness bitbeast before, and even Kai was amazed. Rick stared at the dragon and then slowly looked at Tonya who was looking at Rick.
"I hope you're ready Rick, because I intend to finish this now." She grinned at him, revealing fangs.
"You don't scare me! Rock Bison use Rock Drop!" The bison nodded in compliance as rocks formed out of nowhere around him. He launched them at the black dragon who just floated in the air, waiting for Tonya to make a move.
"Shadow let's finish this now. Use Darkness Inferno!"
The dragon pulled his head back and sucked in air. When he released it black and purple flames shot at the rocks flying towards him. Down below his blade had alit in fire just like when Tonya had faced Bryan. The flames engulfed the rocks and melted them before they even got close to the dragon. They shot towards Rock Bison and began to burn him slightly. The black blade slammed Rick's and sent it flying with Rock Bison retreating into it. The blade struck the wall as the flames slowly died out. With Shadow being released it had increased the attack power greatly. Shadow returned to his blade and back to Tonya's waiting hand. The lights returned to normal and the crowd cheered. Tonya walked back to her team and they just stared at her, stunned she had so much power.
"So did I do good?" She tilted her head and she looked like a little kid after winning a game for the first time.
"Yeah, I think you did more than good." Bryan was standing and his eyes were trained on the dish. Burn marks were all over it and he was glad that hadn't happened to him. The dish hadn't been burned too badly so it could still be used.
"Looks like we got our own little powerhouse." Spencer stood and put a hand on Tonya's head. She smiled up at him as Tala stood up to finish this up for them.
"Hey Tala!" He stopped and glanced back. Tonya looked at him and gave him a thumbs up. "Good luck." She smiled at him and he turned away nodding.
"Don't think I'll go down easily just because you guys have the upper hand!" Emily took her stance as Tala loaded his launcher.
"No, you'll go down because I'm going to beat you quickly." He smirked at her as he took his stance.
"3, 2, 1, let it rip!"
Tala didn't waste any time in going on the offensive. Both his teammates had won their battles swiftly and he didn't plan on sticking around for very long despite the fact that he normally dragged things out. He pounded Emily hard and didn't let up once. No matter how hard Emily tried to dodge, she couldn't escape from Tala. His smirk changed and Emily could tell it was the end.
"Wolborg use Novae Rouge!" Tala's expression looked crazy and that meant it was the end.
A great white wolf rose up and howled. An icy chill began to set in and then it turned into a blizzard. Emily's blade began to freeze and once it froze over completely Tala's blade slammed into it and knocked it out right beside Emily's feet. Tala called his blade back and met his team before they all left.
_._._
"Sir, I think we've found it." A boy spoke into a phone as he slowly got up from his seat and walked away.
"Are you positive? You know how I hate being disappointed." A man's deep voice came through the ear piece and the teen just chuckled.
"I'm pretty sure. Our searching is finally over." He laughed as he slowly left the stadium.
And finished! Long one and I got the first battle of the team into too. The end was meant to give you a hint as to what may happen in the future. Off to chapter 4 now!
