Lian: Here we are guys, the world championships has begun
Michael: Will I be in this chapter.
Lian: Nope, but you'll definately be in the next one.
Michael: I can live with that.
Mariah: Maybe we should get a move on with this.
Salima: Yeah she's right, plus I wanna know what I'm talking to Kai about.
Lian: Then's lets all enjoy this shall we? and I hope your readers are enjoying this too.
The day of the championships had finally arrived, the stadium was packed and the crowd was excited. In the locker rooms, the teams were getting ready for their matches.
"Let's start off big shall we guys?" Said Tyson, who was pumped up for the tournament. "I can't wait to get started! Our first tournament back as the Bladebreakers"
"I hear you Tyson" Said Max, sitting in a chair. "This championship has the potential to out do thet last three we've competed in combined"
"I just wonder how The Legion will fare in this tournament" Said Hilary, who was sat closer to Kai than normal today. "I mean, they practically have the group of death. White Tiger X, Super Soldiers, Team Elite and the Blitzkrieg Boyz. They are heading into battle with seasoned veterans with limited, if not, no experience"
"Hilary's right on this one" Said Tyson. "But they did beat the Saint Shield's, that alone shows they have credibility and good beyblading abilites to their name"
"Very true" Said Hilary, looking down at her shoes. "I'm just wondering what will happen to them if the Blitzkrieg Boyz get their hands on them"
"I'm sure they can hold their ground against them and get a good result" Smiled Max
"Hey Rei, are you alright?" Asked Kai, looking at his silent team mate. "You seem a little distracted"
"Huh? Oh, I'm fine. I think we should worry about ourselves first before we get concerned about The Legion" Said Rei, to be honest. There was one thing playing on his mind... Salima. No matter how hard he tried, he could not shake her out of his head. She would crowd his every thought and dreams.
"Something's definatly not right with you Rei" Said Hilary, looking worriedly at him. "Your eyes are slightly glazed over a little bit and you've not said a word since we got here"
"So I see" Said Rei coming to his senses. "Maybe it's pressure or something, I'll go get some air" He said as he left the room.
"I can tell he's lying" Said Hilary when she heard his footsteps becoming more and more distant. "He is never the type to be nervous and he's lost in his thoughts. I don't know about you guys, but I think this has something to do with Salima. I mean, he can't stop thinking about her and gets this loving look in his eyes when she's around. When she's not he looks rather worried or confused, I think one of us should talk to him about it"
All of them turned to look at her.
"Why me?" She questioned as she clinged to Kai's arm.
"Well, you did suggest it" Answered Max. "And you know how his situation is, so it makes perfect sense"
"I'll go and talk to Salima" Said Kai. "See this situation from her side"
"Sounds like a plan coming together" Said Tyson, rubbing the palms of his hands together.
"That was way to close" Said Rei, leaning up against the wall. He pulled Driger out of his pocket and stared at it. "What if her crowding my every thought distracts me from concentrating? What if it causes me to lose my focus and my matches? How will I be able to explain that to the guys?
What would they think of me then?"
"Sounds like someone is troubled" Said a voice. Rei turned around and saw his old team, White Tiger X, looking at him.
"Meh, it's just that I'm a little nervous actaully" Said Rei in all honesty.
"Nervous? Did you attack the real Rei and stuff him in a broom closet?" Joked Lee.
"Give him a break guys" Said Mariah. "Maybe he's in love" She teased.
"Judging by his facial expression, he must be" Laughed Kevin.
"Haha, very funny guys, don't you guys have a match to go out and win?"
"Were on our way now" Responded Kevin. "We'll deal with them rookies easy peasy"
"Good luck guys" Said Rei smiling as the team headed off to the arena.
"Oh Rei" Said Mariah turning around. "Hope to speak to you after the match. Bye Rei Rei" She giggled as she turned around and followed after her team.
"Cya" He said as he headed back to his locker room. "Rei Rei" He muttered to himself, it's a nickname that the girls had coined for him during the Justice 5 tournament.
Tyson and the others switched the TV in their locker room on, just in time for the show to start.
"Hello folks and welcome to the Beyblade World Championships, I'm your new commentator Brooklyn Masefield, alongside AJ Topper"
"I can't wait for this show to begin Brook! I'm excited!"
"I bet the millions around the globe are just as excited at you are AJ. Lets head to the arena with DJ"
"Thanks guys" Shouted DJ through his microfone. "Now, is everyone ready for some beybattles?" The crowd cheered as an answer. "Very well, lets give a warm welcome to the first team heading out. White Tiger X!"
The crowd cheered as they headed towards their team bench.
"Sounds like we got some big fan support here guys" Smirked Kevin, looking all around him
"And now" Continued DJ. "Please welcome, the newcomers to the world championships. The Legion"
The crowd cheered for the new team, though not as loud as when they did for White Tiger X. At the moment, only Tomas and Allyssa showed up.
"I'll go first" Said Mariah. "Let's see what this new girls got"
"You go first Allyssa" Said Tomas, sitting down on the bench. "I'll take Kevin in the next one, or whoever they decide to send up. Then Mitzuki or Ryuusei can deal with the rest"
"Very well then Tomas, consider it done" Replied Allyssa as she walked up to the platform as Brooklyn done the analysis.
Allyssa Bit Beast: Fanfir Signature Move: Sigurd's Rush Attack: 2 and half out of 5 Defence: 3 out of 5 Endurance: 3 out of 5
Mariah Bit Beast: Galux Signature Move: Cat Scratch Attack Attack: 3 out of 5 Defence: 2 out of 5 Endurance: 3 out of 5
"Looking at the stats here AJ, Allyssa looks like she has the best blade to keep Galux's attacks at bay"
"Yeah, but on the other hand Brooklyn, Mariah has more experience under her belt. But it will be a close contest"
"Good luck to you" Said Mariah, readying herself for battle
"Likewise" Said Allyssa, also getting herself ready. Her hand was slightly shaking
"3...2...1...LET IT RIP!"
"Now the world championships are officialy underway!" Proclaimed DJ.
"Go Galux!" Shouted Mariah, from the offset of the battle, Galux had dominated the entire thing. It was slamming Fanfir all around the dish, and it seemed that Allyssa could not do a thing about it.
"Focus Ally, Focus" She mentally told herself. Fanfir came back with a strike and the two blades began sizing each other up, before going after each other again, this time the two of them were trading blows.
"Come on Allyssa" Shouted Mariah from across the dish. "I know full well you can do better than that!"
"Is that a challenge I see? Very well.. Go Fanfir!" Fanfir then started with it's own attacks, grinding against the side of Galux and forcing it up to the edge of the dish.
"No way, this cannot be happening" Said a shocked Mariah
"You'd be amazed at the power that lies within Fanfir and me. Here's a little taster for you" Allyssa's voice did not match the one of cute and very shyness that it had earlier. She had a dark, almost very creepy like voice. "Hyaah! Let's finish this!" She shouted as all of a sudden, two wings sprouted from her back as she flew up about a meter or so.
"Please tell me I'm not watching a horror movie, Brooklyn"
"No your not AJ, but she looks like to she's gonna bring some pain here!"
"Come on" Shouted Allyssa. "Let's finish this, Sigurd's Rush Attack!" Fanfir shot around the dish at a rapid pace, until all that could be seen of her blade was massive circular blur. Which quickly closed in on Galux and smashed into it, sending it sailing out of the dish next to Mariah's foot.
DJ observed the dish before annoucing. "And the winner is... Allyssa!"
Allyssa landed back on the ground and her wings vanished, her voice went back to it's regular cute and shy like tone. She picked up her blade from the dish and pocketed it.
"That was a pretty good fight, Mariah. Hope to battle you soon" Smiled Allyssa as she went back to her team bench.
Mariah headed back to her team bench, looking shocked and dejected. She would normally take it in her stride and think it was just another bump in the road to becoming better, but all that practice and hard work seemed like it was wasted time. She could not get her head around how she was beaten so easily.
"Whoa, you got beat bad" Said Kevin. Mariah would normally punch Kevin lightly for a remark like that, but he was right. So she sat back down and kept silent.
"Kevin's right, but I've never seen a rookie wield that much power before. It was as if the bit beast itself started to control her" Said Lee, thinking about the match. "But it doesn't matter, it's just another bump in the road. I'll get us the other match, don't worry about it" He added, standing up and walking towards the dish.
"Wow" Said Tyson, utterly shocked. "That was amazing, how could she do that?"
"Indeed" Said Kai, looking at screen almost wide-eyed. "It makes me wonder how much power the rest of them have"
"Just need to beat Lee, and it's five points in the bag already" Smiled Tomas to Allyssa, he was just about to step up to the podium when...
"Stop right there Tomas" Said a voice. Tomas recognized it instantly. A teen who was the same age as him (16) appeared from the corridor. He had spiky hair, with an emo fringe on his right eye. (Author Note: Look up Dunamis from Metal Fight Beyblade and the hairstyle will make sense)
The colour of his hair was a light shade of black. He wore a black trenchcoat with the sleeves tattered and torn and his trousers were a very dark purple.
"Ah, there you are Ryuusei. I was wondering where you were" Said Tomas, turning around to acknowledge his captain.
"I'll be competing against Lee" Said Ryuusei, in almost a very cold like voice.
"Very well, your the captain, Ryuusei. Very well" Said Tomas as he sat back down on the team bench. Ryuusei headed up the platform, giving Lee a death glare as he went up.
"So your the famous Ryuusei Tatigawa" Said Lee in faked suprise.
"Save your cockyness for someone who gives a damn!" Ryuusei responded cynically. Lee gasped in shock at how Ryuusei had react.
"Grrm fine then, I was only trying to make light conversation before I beat you down, but you crossed the line!" Shouted Lee, getting his blade out and readying himself.
Ryuusei did not say a word afterwards, only got his launcher ready as Brooklyn and AJ did the stat analysis
Ryuusei:
Bit Beast: Angel Dranzer Signature Moves: Angels Pounce, Radiant Spear.
Attack: 4 out of 5 Defence: 2 out of 5 Endurance: 2 and half out of 5
Lee Bit Beast: Galeon Signature Move: Spiral Lightning Attack: 3 out of 5 Defence: 3 out of 5 Endurance: 3 out of 5
"By the looks of things AJ, Lee look likes he could take it to Ryuusei"
"Your right Brook, as Ryuusei's blade has less defence and endurance than that of Lee's Galeon, but Ryuusei has a higher attack power and attack rate, should be interesting!"
"3...2...1.. LET IT RIP!"
Galeon shot into the dish gunning for Angel Dranzer. Ryuusei, knowing full well that this was going to happen, sent his blade after Galeon. The two blades collided in the center of the dish. Both blades grinded against each other, sending sparks off them.
"You won't last long against me" Proclaimed Lee, smirking with satisfaction. "Attack now Galeon!" Galeon charged towards Angel Dranzer.
Ryuusei did a dodge to his left, when Lee looked back down at the dish, Angel Dranzer did the exact same movement as Ryuusei, dodging to his left.
"You were saying?" Mocked Ryuusei, laughing at the failed attack.
"I'll show you!" Screamed Lee. "Crush him Galeon!" Galeon went back for more, but this time, Ryuusei crouched and jumped in the air. This caused his beyblade to jump right over Galeon, again and again and again. With each missed chance, Lee's frustration was beginning to boil over. He ate a slam from Angel Dranzer while his counter attack was dodged in the same manner as all the others. Lee glared at Ryuusei, who had a confidant smirk on his face.
"Enough of these games, they bore me. Angel Dranzer, Radiant Spear..." As soon as the words left his mouth, the ceiling was bathed in a bright light. A blindingly golden spear fell from the ceiling towards Ryuusei, though he did not flinch. When it neared him, he simply grabbed it. He then positioned himself for a javelin like throw before screaming "...ATTACK!" He launched it forwards. It struck Lee, but it did not go through him. Instead, knocking him on his backside. Once the light had subsided, the dish only housed one beyblade. Angel Dranzer. Lee looked down at his legs, Galeon resting by his left thigh. He did his best to control his frustration at the match as he picked himself up from off the floor and headed back to his team.
"Don't worry guys" Said Lee calmly. "Their's still plenty of time to turn this around, you'll see. Very soon, we'll be right back in this"
"Whoa, that was some insane power right there" Said Max, eye's glued to the action replay on the screen.
"Yes, very much insane power" Said Kai, nodding in suprise. Suddenly a knock came from the door. Kai decided to answer it, he opened the door and stepped out into the corridor.
"Kai, just person I came to see" Said Salima, looking around her.
"You wanted to see me? Why not Rei?" Asked Kai, finding it odd that Salima would want to talk to him instead of Rei.
"That's the thing, I wanted to ask you. Does he love me?" She managed to say it, needless to say Kai's eyes popped out of his head.
"What? You fancy Rei? Well, it should not come as a suprise to me, but. It does" Said Kai managed to put his eyes back into his head.
"I just want to know is all" Salima spoke softly, but she shaking slightly due to nervousness. "Cos if he doesn't love me, it will break me, but I'll be able to get over it, in time"
"As a matter of fact I think he does" Said Kai, flashing a smile to her.
"R-Really, how do you know?" Said Salima, all excited.
"You should see him when your not around, he's nervous and on edge most of the time. I can tell that he's thinking about you all the time, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out" Smirked Kai, leaning against the wall in his usual style.
"Great, now all I need is some alone time with him, then we can be together" Smiled Salima. "But he has a match next, so I'll let him concentrate on that first" She walked off down the corridor, not before turning around. "Thanks Kai, you just made me really happy" She then turned on her heel and left.
"Glad to be of service" muttered Kai, still smiling as he went back inside.
Salima: So that's what I was asking about. Woohoo! He loves me!
Lian: We'll have to see how it goes though.
Michael: Coming up in chapter five: The Bladebreakers battles, Tomas' apple sauce addiction and Rei and Raul become friends on the plane to England.
Raul: Sounds very good, can't wait to see what were gonna talk about.
Rei: Neither can I.
Salima: That's all we have time for at the moment.
Lian: Until the next chapter, keep smiling!
