Chapter will be based on the 10th episode of the first season of beyblade :)
"Oh my!" My eyes widened as I was amazed by the view in front of me. It looks so grand! This is so much better than Robert Jurgen's castle which we will see soon. Overall the place looked absolutely beautiful. I was breathless due to the amazing design. I couldn't really find the exact words of what I'm really seeing. All I know is that I'm seeing a huge, grand palace with pointed golden gates. It's not heaven is it?
Of course not. At least, I really hope it isn't. I can't die yet!
"Look you guys!" I exclaimed pointing at the pastel-colored castle. "Check out that palace!"
Max leaned towards the window to get a good view of what I just saw.
"Where?" he asked. "I don't see anything."
"It's right in front of you!" I argued.
"I don't see anything either" Tyson agreed with Max.
"What?" I almost shrieked. "I swear there was a grand palace right there! I'm not kidding! It was huge, grand, it had a beautiful garden, pointy golden gates, towers and it was blended with all of these different colors!"
"You must be going crazy or something Emi," Kenny suspected. "None of us can see that."
"Yeah," Max agreed. "I seriously don't see anything except fluffy, white clouds."
I sighed. How can I see the beautiful site when the others can't? Am I really seeing things? Or was that only meant for my eyes? I decided to give in so that they won't think I'm hallucinating or something.
"N-never mind," I sighed. "It might be just because I feel a little dizzy."
"Do you need something Emi?" asked.
I shook my head, "No thanks."
I looked back at the window and the castle wasn't there anymore. Either we passed it or I really was seeing things. I took out the headphones and plugged them in so I could simply relax with music for the rest of the trip.
I don't know how long the trip went considering I fell asleep while listening to some song. Ray woke me up letting me know that we landed. I had a deep sleep however so my eyes are a still adjusting to wake up. I stretched my arms up and rubbed my eyes so I could actually wake up. I was officially wide awake.
"I can't believe we're in Hong Kong!" I exclaimed.
"I have a feeling that you like to travel Emi," Tyson observed. "That could be part of your memory."
"Uh, yeah sure"
We exited the airport where the BBA tour bus picked us up. Without second thought, we all went inside and grabbed a seat. I had to take the window seat of course. I must get a good view of Hong Kong! I quickly took out my video camera and recorded a lot of awesome sites.
I turned around towards Tyson and Max who were sitting across from me.
"Smile!" I laughed putting the camera close to their faces. The two made funny faces in front of the camera and the rest of us laughed except Kai.
"You guys better start taking things seriously!" Kai demanded. "We have a championship to win!"
I had my camera faced Kai and said,
"Come on Kai! Don't you just want to have some fun from time to time?"
"Nope"
"Jerk face" I 'coughed' out. I continued to videotape the road until we reached our destination.
When the bus fully stopped, was the first one to get out.
"That's it!" the old man pointed. "That is where you will be competing."
"Woah!" Tyson exclaimed, impressed by the tower. I looked up with my video camera to see a huge pillar-type rock with a building on the side. That is some architecture magic right there.
We went inside to see the crowd cheering loudly. Man, this is just like any other opening games. I think that the biggest cheers that people would do are during the opening games, semi-finals, and of course, the finals. Although I've never watch any games except my cousin's volleyball games. Everyone cheered with glee, eager for the competition to start soon.
"Look at the crowd!" I exclaimed as I videotaped them.
"I know!" Ray yelled happily.
"I really can't wait to compete!" Tyson also yelled happily, punching the air.
"Welcome to the BBA Asian Tournament!" The jazzman announced. "Let us welcome the beyblading team that will be competing!"
More loud cheers came from the enthusiastic crowd. It was great but I really wish I had earplugs...
After we were presented to the crowd, I turned off my camera as the others and I checked out who will be competing first during the tournament.
"Attention please," some lady announced. "Block A will be competing at the North Ring and Block B will be competing at the South Ring. The first competition will be starting in about half an hour!"
"Oh wow!" I exclaimed. "It seems like our team is fighting first! Which is good cause I'm pretty sure Tyson would die from waiting."
"Well, well, look at what the cat dragged in," A familiar voice said. We turned around to see Lee and his teammates behind him with serious, challenging faces.
"You again!" Tyson yelled. Oh great, the tournament hasn't even started and they're already going head to head. I might as well stay out of this for now.
"Lee?" Ray gave a mini glare
"What's up? Are you the new mascots?" Lee teased.
"Very funny!" Tyson yelled. "You guys will be going down!"
Lee shot a major glare at us. "Oh really? In your dreams!"
"You guys do know that your in Group A and we're in Group B right?" Mariah said.
"So that means, we will go head to head eventually if you guys actually advance!" Kevin said.
"Oh we will advance!" Tyson said eagerly. "And we will beat your team!"
"Bring it on!" Mariah challenged.
"Oh and we don't go easy on traitors like you Ray
"You totally look like the weakest link!" Kevin said, teasing Tyson. Cap boy got offended and tried to attack the green-haired kid but Max and Kenny hold him back.
"Weakest link! Weakest link!" Kevin teased and ran off.
"Well your the missing link!" Tyson yelled.
"Come on guys," I said. "Can't we simply have a friendly competition?"
Apparently, I was sort of ignored by the rest of the team considering they're too pumped up about the competition that will commence in about half an hour.
After getting ready, we returned to the stadium to compete against some creepy looking guys. Even though it's just a game back in the real world, in this world, well...like I said, serious. However, the Bladebreakers do know how to play fun. Everyone except maybe Kai that is...
"The first match will be the Tall Boys against the Bladebreakers!" The referee announced and the crowd went wild. As in wild with cheers. Not the barbaric type of wild. I can tell that both teams are really fired up to start beyblading as well as the crowd. I couldn't help but gulped due their creepy looking face painting.
"T-those guys look scary," I shivered.
"Ah, don't worry Emi," Tyson said. "They may look tough but I'll bet they're not that good beybladers!"
"You shouldn't underestimate your opponent Tyson," the chief advised. "We don't even know how powerful they can be."
"That's right Tyson," I agreed. "You might as well be careful. Now who is gonna go first?"
"I will" Ray answered as he got up, ready to go.
"Hey Ray!" Tyson cheered. "Let's show that we're tougher than the White Tigers!"
"Don't even go there!" Ray almost glared.
"What?" Tyson asked, confused. I won't blame Ray but I would get mad if someone mentions somebody that I don't want to hear about.
"I don't think that Ray wants to talk about his old teammates" Kenny informed.
"Don't worry about it guys, after all we are in the same team" Max said, giving them a little team spirit.
"Well some of us need to stop talking and start to walk the walk!" Tyson advised, talking about Ray.
"Your not talking about me are you?" Kenny asked, almost freaking out by Tyson's tone.
"He meant me," Ray said. "I'll think it over but for now, I have a battle to win."
"Go Ray!" I cheered. "Kick that creeper's butt and send him home crying to his mommy!"
"Uh, Thanks Emi," Ray smiled and sweatdropped. He went on the steps and in front of the arena. Facing his opponent, the jazzman had the beydish open for the players to compete with. As the door opened, an intense light shone through revealing a very awesome stadium design. The call it The Jagged Rocks beydish. And those were sure alot of rocks! Hmm...they should totally make that into a mini jungle or whatever. That would be so cute seeing little animals!
"Whoa, what is that?" Tyson asked, amazed by the design of the beydish.
"That's a replica of one of the Chinese mountain range" Kenny explained.
"That will make it tough to beyblade in that dish" Max said.
"This is the beauty of competition Max," I said. "The more challenging, the better."
Tyson started to laugh and then cheered,
"Oh yeah bring it on! A couple of rocks won't scare me away!"
"I think he lost it" Kenny whispered towards us and Max just laughed nervously.
Brad Best and Aj Topper gave the audience the info about the two competitors, Ray vs. Andre.
"Are you ready?" Jazzman yelled. Both players got into position as he started to do the famous bey countdown. "3,2,1 Let it rip!"
Ray and Andre released their beyblades and already Ray made a move. Both blades are like bulls or something going head to head. We all watched in awe and by we I mean Tyson, Max, Kenny and I. Kai is just hiding his 'awe' face. Both blades went flying up bringing some of the sand or dust with them. I just hope there won't be a sand or dust storm yet.
"Ray needs to be careful," Kenny informed. "Andre may be more powerful than Ray."
"No way!" Tyson disagreed. "Ray can win this!"
"Your mine!" I overheard Ray shouted. It looks like he is going to attack. "Time for Tiger Claw attack!"
Ray's blade went shooting down, about to hit Andre's blade but, there was something wrong. Usually, the player would immediately get out of the way but this one's just spinning in one spot.
"Ray watch out!" I warned him. "His beyblade is gonna do something so get out of the way hurry!"
"Huh?" Ray asked, confused. Andre thought that this was a good advantage and his beyblade grew two times bigger than before
"Just do it!" I shrieked. Ray turned back around and saw Andre's 'new' beyblade.
"Whoa!" Ray exclaimed, almost panicking. "Driger go right!"
Driger obeyed and went to the right. The blade landed at least a couple of feet away from Andre's blade.
"How did he do that?" Kenny wondered.
"More importantly, how did Emi know that was going to happen?" Max said, suspicious of me. Everyone turned and stared at me, waiting for my answer. Of course I had to make up an excuse.
"W-well did you see Andre's smirk?" I stuttered. "It must mean that he had some sort of a trick so I j-just had to warn him." Phew, thank god!
"Oh" Tyson said, buying my excuse. I sighed in relief but I suddenly sensed something horrible. I turned slightly to my left and saw Kai staring at me. I had a feeling he didn't believe me at all. Damn you stuttering!
"That sure was amazing though!" Kenny observed. "I'm gonna ask Dizzi what she knows about Andre's beyblade.
"Got anything?" Tyson asked as the chief types in some sort of information.
"Yak attack," I blurted out.
"Yak attack?" Kenny asked.
"That's Andre's special attack chief," Dizzi explained. "Andre's beyblade has the power and the form of the yak."
"As in Yakkity Yak?" I joked.
"Yakkity Yak?" The others asked in a confused tone.
"Don't talk back and more bad news, Yak attack is quite powerful and it's the advantage attack against Driger so Ray better be careful."
"How did you know that stuff? Kenny asked, freaking out about how I know all this. "Have you met Andre somewhere before? Maybe he can help you with your memory!"
"No, I don't think so." I sweatdropped. I gotta stop talking! I quickly made up another excuse, "I just read your laptop chief. Simple as that." Not really, I can't read his laptop's data.
"So what now?" Tyson asked.
"That's a no brainer," Kai said. Wow, after about an hour, Mr. Sourpuss suddenly talks. And all I can say is that, this may not be good. Not that I hate Kai, I just hate his attitude right now. "He might as well get a bus ticket home"
"Kai!" Tyson shouted.
"You really want me to slam your head against that wall do you?" I 'asked' and got up ready to attack a teammate nonbeliever.
Tyson and Max both grabbed me and forced me to sit down.
"Hey let me at him!" I yelled. As the guys were trying to control me, Kai continued talking,
"If Ray doesn't win then he doesn't deserve to be in our team."
"Your the one who doesn't deserve to be on this team you teammate nonbeliever!" I shouted, almost shrieking. I swear I am so going to get him!
"Whoa, Emi calm down" Max said and I obeyed. I sighed and continued to watch Ray's battle.
"Come on Ray!" I shouted. "Kick his bey butt out of that dish!"
Both beyblades were spinning really fast and making a lot of dust or sandstorms whatever they are.
"So ready to give up yet?" Andre asked. His beyblade was about to hit Ray's when Driger moved out of the way instantly.
"Hey come back!" Andre yelled and started smashing the rocks, chasing the white tiger bitbeast. "Quit running away and battle!"
"His beyblade is not running away from you, it's spinning away from you!" I joked. I seriously do have talent for comedy sometimes.
Tyson laughed at my little joke. "Good one Emi!"
"Thanks!" I winked.
Andre's beyblade continued to chase Ray's. And Andre's beyblade continued going through rocks, smashing them as if they were nothing. The Yak beyblade owner suddenly couldn't see Ray's beyblade. He looked around to see where it was hiding. Looks like Driger is about to catch his prey.
"Driger tiger claw attack!" Ray commanded. The white tiger obeyed and gave an intense attack on the opponent's beyblade causing it to go towards a huge rock and break it. Then, Andre's beyblade stopped spinning.
"Winner, Ray!" The referee announced. The crowd cheer and so did we.
"Yay!" I cheered. "Way to go!"
Ray went back to the team bench and Max was the next one to battle. His opponent was Waylan and his attack will well, let's say make you feel like your in a Sauna.
"Max be sure you cool down okay?" I warned. "That guy has heat power!"
"All right Emi!" Max said, taking my warning.
"Heat power?" Ray wondered. "What do you mean by that Emi?"
Oh great, I've been blurting way too much. I sighed. When will I shut up?
"Um, I just heard about it!" I lied.
Ray gave me a suspicious look and whispered to Tyson,
"Something tells me that Emi is keeping a secret from us."
When I heard my name, I decided to eavesdrop a bit.
"What do you mean?" Tyson asked.
"Did you noticed the way she talked? It looks like she was hiding something from us. And I find it odd that she knows what's gonna happen next."
"I'm not hiding anything Ray," I said, trying to look serious. "I just happen to know okay? Now if you need to say something to me, just say it in front of me. I'm pretty sure I can take it."
"Ready guys?" The Jazzman signaled the players as Max and Waylan both got their beyblades ready to go.
"In 3, 2, 1 Let it rip!"
The second battle has commenced. The beyblade started to spin away from each other. And I was starting to melt from the damn heat. Waylan, please go to the Sahara Desert will ya?
"It's too darn hot!" I yelled as I laid down. I saw Max had the worse case. He was totally getting drained by the heat.
"Emi's right again," Kenny said. "According to Dizzi, he has the power of intense heat!"
"What are we suppose to do now?" Tyson asked, willing to get an answer from Kenny.
"Well luckily it's Max battling Waylan and not Kai overthere," I said. "Otherwise we'll be burning!"
"Oh, I can't take this heat!" Max moaned and fell down, exhausted. Waylan smirked and thought that victory was in his hands. I don't think so
"Come on Max!" I yelled, ignoring the heat. "Don't give up now! After all you do have water power!"
Max struggled to get up as the heat was getting quite more intense. The heated beyblade continued to attack the Draciel blade and melting it as well. Still trying to hold in the intense heat, Max commanded,
"Draciel now!"
"Oh no!" I shouted as the blonde-haired teen fell down to his knees.
Damn you Waylan. Thanks to that heat power you have, that song, "Too Darn Hot" is stuck in my head now!
"Hurry Max!" Kenny shouted. "This is your chance!"
"I have had enough!" Max yelled. "Draciel attack now!"
The wobbly beyblade regained its balance and immediately went head on against the orange beyblade.
"Your finished!" Max yelled and gave the final blow.
"I can't loose!" Waylan shouted. Boy, I think you just did.
Waylan's beyblade got knocked over, causing his defeat.
"All right!" Kenny yelled.
I was so busy cheering for Max or at least encouraging him with my mind that I didn't even noticed Tyson collapsed from the heat until he grabbed Kenny's green tie to help him get up.
"What happened?" Tyson wondered.
"Max won" I replied.
"Unbelievable!" The Jazzman observed. "Max actually beat the heat!"
All of us came towards an exhausted Max to congratulate him.
"Max!" Tyson called.
"That was awesome Max!" I cheered.
"Way to go Max!" Kenny cheered as well.
"I say it's pretty sloppy." Kai said, bringing Max down. Oh I will so going to somewhat get him for this!
"Give the guy a break Kai" Ray advised.
"I say he's just cranky from all of this heat," I said. "On second thought, he is cranky twenty-four seven"
"That's alright," Max said. "You are the team leader after all."
"Yeah and an awful one too." I whispered to myself.
"Your next Tyson," Kenny said, facing Tyson. "Are you ready for it?"
"Chief, I was born ready!" Tyson exclaimed excitedly and went straight to the stadium.
"Go Tyson!" I cheered loudly.
"It's time for the third match!" The jazzman announced while the two final players got ready to beyblade.
"Tyson be careful," I yelled, warning him. "Tommy has it kickin!" I have to say that because his attacks are martial arts related.
Tyson faced me with a confused look and I really do hope he took the hint.
Tyson faced his opponent and was more confused. Where was his beyblade?
"Let's say we kick things off!" Tommy joked as he showed off his leg launcher.
"So is that what Emi meant about Tommy kickin it?" Max asked us.
"Yup," I replied. "And I just heard about it so don't become suspicious now"
"We're not" Kenny sweatdropped.
"Ready?" The Jazzman signaled.
We watched Tommy doing weird stretches and other stuff. Warm up perhaps?
"Hey I came here to beyblade not breakdancing." Tyson commented.
"That's not breakdancing Tyson," I said.
"This looks familiar" Kenny observed.
"In 3,2,1 Let it rip!" Jazzman shouted. Tommy did a powerful kick in order to launch his blade
"Go Dragoon!" Tyson yelled, releasing his powerful beyblade.
"His moves are based on Thai Style Boxing," I warned.
"What's that?" Max asked. Thank God Ray answered for me cause I have no idea what that is.
"Thai Style Boxing is similar to Kickboxing" Ray explained."And the most dangerous one of at all, at least according to legend is the Wei Thai Kick."
Tommy's blade slammed Tyson's dragoon blade almost making it stop spinning. It's gonna take more than that Tommy boy!
But the team captain of the Tall Boys wasn't gonna give up that easy I'll tell you that. His blade continuously hit Tyson's
"Come on Tyson!" I encouraged.
"Dragoon storm attack!" Tyson commanded. The blue dragon rose up from his bit and created a powerful twister. The strong wind made its way to the waters and combining it with the wind. Talk about a Hurrister! Hurrister as in the combination of a twister and a hurricane. But apparently, Dragoon started to wobble.
"Oh no!" Tyson shouted worriedly.
"Control your beyblade Tyson!" I advised.
"Hope you didn't forget about me" Tommy shouted as his blade was going in for a landing and planned to knock down Tyson's typhoon. His beyblade landed on top of the Dragoon blade and continued hitting it making the white blade back off more and more. Now, Tommy's red blade is hopping on top of Tyson's beyblade, hoping it would stop spinning.
"Oh man!" Max groaned. "He's getting pulverized!"
"Not yet Max," I said. "He can still win this!"
"Hey Kai," Ray said. "I don't think Tyson is ready to battle this kind yet."
"Come on Ray," I said. "Your not gonna be like Kai are you?"
"I could have told you that but no one asked." Kai said.
Dragoon got knocked over the edge of the cliff by Tommy's red beyblade. Making it go straight for the waters and was followed by Tommy's was a trap of course.
Another huge twister has developed and the water was flying with it making another Hurrister.
"No fair!" Tommy said as his eyes widened. The Hurritwister or simply a typhoon, sucked in Tommy's beyblade and had it landed out of the dish.
"I win!" Tyson cheered. "Oh yeah!"
"Yay!" I cheered. "Way to go Tyson!"
"The bladebreakers will move on to the next round thanks to Tyson!" Jazzman announced. Cap boy gave us a thumbs up for a victory well done. The tall boys came by Tyson with a serious, scary look on their faces. Suddenly they smiled and congratulated the guy.
came by also congratulating the whole team.
"Bravo!" clapped. "I'd say that was a magnificent battle!"
"Did you see me sir?" Tyson asked. "Thank you so much for putting me on the team!"
"I hope I could fight tomorrow!" I yelled with enthusiasm.
"You guys need to think about the next few rounds," Mr. Dickinson advised. "Cause I think you might be facing the white tigers"
Oh they will face them all right.
"Let's go to the other wing and check out our future opponents!" I suggested. Everyone agreed and we all headed to see the White Tigers play.
When we arrived, it was Mariah who was battling at the time.
"So far, the white tigers have the lead!" Kenny said as he noticed the scoreboard.
"Are they that good?" Tyson wondered.
"Gee Tyson," I said sarcastically. "What do you think?"
We watched Mariah's beyblade unleashed Galux, her wildcat bitbeast.
"She has her own bitbeast!" Tyson yelled as Galux got ready to attack.
"Galux, attack!" Mariah commanded. The pink beyblade did a scratch on the opponent's beyblade. And that scratch made it cut in half. Everyone seemed to be impressed by the power of Mariah's beyblade.
"This is so cool!" Tyson commented. "I can't wait to face them!"
I simply smiled. Tonight however, we'll be having a guest...a bad guest that is.
