Chapter 7: Kenta's arrival and a history lesson
"Hey, everybody." Kenta greeted getting everyone's attention.
"Kenta!" Gingka smiled.
Tyson looked at the scorch marks and then looked at Kenta. "You know," he started, "Kenta got here around the same time Ryuga did."
"Really?" Kenta asked.
"Try not making a habit out of that, ok Kenta?" Tsubasa requested.
"No worries." Kenta replied.
"So, what're you doing here, Kenchy?" Yu asked.
"I came here to see you guys battle of course." He smiled at his friends. "And I came here to battle as well!" He then slammed Sagittario onto his Launcher and pointed it at Ray.
Ray chuckled and pulled out his Launcher and Driger. "Let's go." He grinned at Kenta.
"Ray, you can't be serious." Kenny said.
"Oh come on, Chief." Ray pleaded. "He came all this way after all."
"Oh." Kenny looked down in defeat. "Oh, alright; but I'm going to watch your Beys." He then opened up his laptop.
"Me too!" Madoka stood next to him with hers.
"I hope you've gotten stronger, Kenta." Ray said.
"Oh I have!" Kenta said proudly.
"Good!" Ray chirped.
"3!" Kenta yelled.
"2!" Ray yelled.
"1! Let it rip!" They launched their BeyBlades and the battle began. Their Blades collided with sparks flying, separated, and then collided again.
Don't waste my time
"I like your new BeyBlade!" Kenta looked up at Ray.
"Thanks!" Ray looked up at Kenta in response. "Now show me your new strength!" Then Driger began to circle Sagittario with multiple attacks.
Don't play with my mind
"Sagittario!" Kenta yelled and Sagittario hit Driger away, attacked, and began to push him back to Ray.
"Alright!" Ray smiled widely, Driger pushed Sagittario off, and then Driger and Ray jumped up on top of the buildings roof. "Come on!" Ray yelled looking down at Kenta.
I already know your destiny
"I can't do that." Kenta said.
"Hmm?" Ray said. "Go, Driger!" He commanded and Driger jumped off diving toward Flame Sagittario.
At the end of this race
"Sagittario!" Kenta yelled and the BeyBlade jumped at Driger, and collided with the oncoming top. Then the Beys back flipped away from each other back onto the ground and Ray also landed with Driger.
I'm taking your place
"What do you mean you can't do that?" Driger attacked Sagittario when Ray questioned Kenta.
"I'm not as strong or agile as you." Sagittario collided with Driger with Kenta's response.
For now and all eternity
"Not everything I do is from my own strength and ability." Driger hit Sagittario into the air with Ray's statement.
"Huh?" Kenta asked and Driger attacked Sagittario again.
I've paid my dues
"Not only do I power my Blade, but Driger also gives me power as well." Driger began to circle around Sagittario in a blaze of sparks. "That's the shown power of the strength from our bond."
I've earned my kick
"Your bond?"
"Yes. Our bond is what allows us to share our strength with the other." Then Driger left Sagittario and began to circle around Ray - as did Sagittario around Kenta.
I'm taking the stage
"Wow." Sagittario then began to spin in front of Kenta after his remark.
"Do you and Sagittario have a strong bond!?" Ray asked loudly and Driger attacked Sagittario again.
Spotlight shinning on me
"Of course we do!" Kenta yelled in response and Sagittario began to push Driger.
Gonna steal your thunder
"Then show me." Ray replied and Driger stopped Sagittario from pushing him any further.
Comin' up from under
"Driger!"
"Sagittario!"
I got your number
The Blades reared back, smashed into each other, and bounced away.
I'm the underdog!
"RRRRAAAHH!" Ray and Kenta yelled and their BeyBlades collided again. "GOO!" They yelled again, their Beys sparked more wildly, and then ricocheted back to their Bladers hand.
"No damage here." Kenny said looking at his laptop.
"Or here." Madoka said.
"See, Kenny", Dizzi began, "there was no reason to be worried."
"Looks like your still one ahead of me, Ray." Kenta smiled at his opponent.
"Your keeping score?" Ray asked.
"I've never done it before, nor have I ever wanted to - but….there's just something about battling you." Kenta replied walking up to Ray.
Ray lightly chuckled with his head down and eyes closed. Then he looked at his team. "I know what you mean." His focus then went to Tyson…
Then Hilary and Benkei both yawned.
"I agree with them." Kai spoke up. "Let's go home."
"Hey!" Yu yelled. "Let's celebrate our wins and get ice-cream!"
Back at the Granger residence
Everyone is sitting in the dojo eating ice-cream.
"I have a question." Gingka spoke up.
"Hmm?" Everyone looked at him.
Gingka then looked at Tyson. "What is the history of your Bit Beast? You never told us."
"Yeah." Tyson said. "We didn't."
"Well if truth be told", Madoka spoke up, "we really didn't tell them everything about our BeyBlades history either."
"What you think you know at least." Kai stated.
"What does that mean?" Tsubasa asked.
"Tell them what all we know, Ray." Kai said looking at his teammate.
Ray nodded. "Well there is no exact history on BeyBlades themselves, but there is a history on Bit Beast."
"There is too a history on BeyBlades!" Yu stood up yelling. "It all begins with L-Drago and Pegasus!"
"Well then let's hear it." Max said.
"I want to hear about the Bit Beast though." Benkei said.
Masamune stood up, irritated. "We should tell them what we know and what they don't first!"
"ENOUGH!" Kenny yelled. "Me and Madoka will go outside, she'll download the notes onto my laptop, Dizzi will compare it all, and then Dizzi will tell us what she knows."
"Thanks for giving me all the work, Chief." Dizzi said sarcastically.
"Sorry, Dizzi." Kenny apologized as he picked up his laptop.
Minutes later
"Come on come all!" Dizzi yelled from the laptop as Kenny walked in.
"You guys ready?" Kenny asked.
"YEAH!" Everyone jumped in front of Dizzi.
"What a crowd." Dizzi said. "I'm not used to this, I'm used to just seeing Kenny. Hoo boy."
"Spit out already!" Kyoya barked.
"Give, Dizzi a second would ya!?" Tyson yelled at Kyoya.
Kyoya responded with just a growl.
"Ok, let's begin." Dizzi then started the full history lesson. "It seems that BeyBlades were created after a star crash landed on earth, that star separating in two and creating Pegasus and L-Drago of course. Once they were created, others around the world were created as well. As we know, L-Drago was used for war and Pegasus was used to stop it, AND other BeyBlades were created to control Bit Beast. Now, L-Drago and Pegasus did not start out as metal Beys as you may think, they started out as wood or rock or even plastic like other tops around the world. Now, why didn't people use Bit Beast wielding tops to face L-Drago or stop Pegasus? Well that's because of the Saint Shield tribe, who were dedicated to seal all the Bit Beast in the world. And as you can see from the Blade Breakers and the previous tournament they were in - that was a failed attempt. Now, there are two mysteries in BeyBlading history and history itself. One: how did people learn how to put the energy of mere constellations into Beys? Two: how is it possible that the ENTIRE world is halved by plastic and metal BeyBlades?"
"Those are good question." Ray and Tsubasa said at the same time, grabbing their chins in curiosity.
Then Gingka and Tyson looked at each other.
"So, that's the history you were talking about." Tyson said astounded.
"And that's the history of Bit Beast, huh?" Gingka said equally astounded.
Then they both smiled and said: "Awesome."
