EPISODE 9: THE VANISHING OF EARTH'S INNOCENCE (PART 1).

Inside Dr. Tomo's lab, the doctor had just finished working on his next bey. "The Heart Snacher Bey's ready, Kaorinite. So you think you found pure heart crystal holder for me?"

"That's right, doctor. The crystal is right for the picking." Said Kaorinite.

A black coat hooded figure streached out his hand and it began to glow purple. The Heart Snacher Bey glowed purple as it floated off the table and above Dr. Tomo's head. The bey then flew to the man's hand and he caught it.

"Go, Vexen, find you target." Said Kaorinite.

The black coat hooded figure known as Vexen disappeared and set off to claim his prize.##################################################################################

At a bey arena, Henry and Cherleen and Lady Olympia were sitting inside a sky box, ready to host the Anistar City Bey Tournament.

"Hey, this is Paris Texas WBBA Director and co-Director and Anistar City gym leader, Henry and Cherleen Miller and Lady Olympia, coming to you live from Kalos at the Anistar City bey tournament." Said Henry into the microphone.

"Sponsored by WBBA Diet Soda. When a blader drinks, he/she doesn't wanna look fat." Added Cherleen.

~WITH MINETTE AND THE GROUP~

Minette and the gang stood outside the arena where all of the other bladers were.

"Oh boy. Like, what a crowd. I hope they saved us some food, Pence." Said Hayner.

"Yeah!" Said Pence in excitment.

"Diet Soda. Diet Soda here. The none fat, WBBA drink that's now in stores everywhere." Said a man as he walked through the area, carrying a box strapped to his body, filled with WBBA Diet Sodas.

"Like, we want some real food. Right, Pence?" Said Hayner.

"Uh-huh. Like that." Said Pence as he pointed at a sea food stand.

"Ugh, not that place. That guy's a creep." Said Minette.

"No, he's totally cool. Just don't mention his face." Said Gigi.

"Wow, you sure do know a lot about that guy. What is he, a friend of your's?" Said Roxas.

"Oh, no. He's just here every year, that's all." Said Gigi.

"Our parents bring us to this tournament every year. That's how we know everyone here." Said Aiden.

"Oh. That explanes a lot, thank you." Said Olette.

Minette and the gang all went over to where the sea food stand was.

Minette then noticed an X shaped scar on his face. "Hi, sir. What happened to your face?"

"What happened? I'll tell you. There was a blader's bey that slashed it. Fearse and mighty was he, and reduced me to a scarfaced blader. But i'll find him. And i won't stop searching till i do. Understand?" Said the man.

"Yes, sir, mister...uh...what is your name?" Asked Zane.

"It's Skipper. Skipper Sherldon. Beyblader and sea food restaurant owner. So what will it be, kids?" Said the man known as Skipper.

"I'll take a three piece catfish, please." Said Hayner.

"Wait. Didn't we agree that you would cut out the fried food?" Olette whispered.

"I should, like, totaly eat something healthy." Said Hayner.

"What?!" Pence gasped.

"What about you, boy? Is it three pieces of deep fried fish? Or are you afraid?" Asked the man.

"I, i, Skipper. No fear. Three pieces of fish here." Said Pence.

A man then got three pieces of fish out of the deep frier and placed them in a to go box.

"Mmm, those look good. Some fried fish would sure go great with this heat. You want some, Amber?" Said Zane.

"No. Zane, you know what happens when i get near sea food. You remember Grandma and Grandpa's second wedding. I was so swolen, i couldn't even fit in the bridal airlock." Said Amber.

"Don't remind us." Said Rex.

"Hey, don't worry, Amber, those fish aren't close enough to cause you any trouble." Said Zane.

"Hey, Skipper, didn't your caben use to be over there near the bey arena?" Asked Gigi.

"Yes, it did. Everytime the town has a tournament here, they move my business." Skipper placed four to go boxes in front of the gang. "Blast you, city councel!"

Pence picked up a two of the boxes of fish.

Hayner eyed the two boxes of fish.

"Come on." Roxas picked up the second box of fish. "Let's get our seats for the first match." He and the others then walked off, leaving Pence, Hayner and Olette behind.

Hayner looked at the boxes of fish as his friends carried them away.

Olette then glaired at Hayner before walking off.

"Oh, come on, Olette. Can't i even look?" Asked Hayner as he walked after Olette.

"Wait for me." Said Pence before he ran after his friends.

~INSIDE THE ARENA~

"Hello, Kalos fans! And welcome to the anuel (2012) Anistar City Bey Tournament! Hosted by your's truely: Blader D.J. Our first match is between two well known young bladers! The first blader we'd like to introduce to our audience is a cool, level headed dude! He is the son of Emma and Neil Forest and the grandson of the director and co-director of the Bevely Hills WBBA! ZANE FOREST!" Said Blader DJ as Zane's picture appeared on the right side of the huge flat screen.

The audience cheered Zane on as he came up out of a trap door on the right side of the stadium.

"Thank you! Thank you, everyone!" Said Zane.

"And in this corner, another blader who you all may be familiar with! He's 9 years old, he lives in Paris Texas, he's the son of the director and co-director who are hosting this year's tournament! Give it up for AIDEN MILLER!" Said DJ.

Aiden came out of a trap door on the left side of the stadium and the crowd cheered.

"Thanks, folks!" Said Aiden.

"Keep an eye on the past, as you will decide who you will be in the future." Said Zane.

"Huh?" Said Aiden.

"Remember this as we battle." Said Zane.

"Right. My path is to win this tournament for sure." Said Aiden.

"Then let us begin." Zane aimed his launcher at the stadium. "You will be battle me and my Azurill."

~IN THE STANDS~

"So Zane's bey is a water type." Said Minette.

"Aiden will be battling Zane's strongest bey." Said Amber.

~ON STAGE~

Aiden aimed his launcher at the stadium. "Alright, i'm ready!"

"Alright! The first match of the anuel (2012) Anistar City Bey Tournament is about to begin! Each blader will battle until one of their beys stops spinning! And there will be no do-overs!" Said DJ.

"No do-overs, huh?" Said Aiden.

"That's right." Said Zane.

~IN THE STANDS~

"I'm so nervous." Said Olette.

"Zane's bey is a water type. So i wonder what kind of battle he's planning?" Said Heyner.

"I'm sure he'd be a tuff opponent for any challenger." Said Rex.

"Right." Said Roxas.

"Aiden can handle it, no doubt. He always has. He's constantly looking ahead and has spent a lot of his time trainning with Rex. Aiden will find a way." Said Gigi.

"Yes, of course he will." Said Pence.

"Good luck! You'll be great!" Said Minette with her hands to her mouth.

~ON STAGE~

"Alright, Kalos! Here we go! 3-!"

"2-!"

"1-!"

"Let It Rip!" Aiden and Zane launched their beys into the stadium and they began attacking each other.

"Azurill, use Bubble!" Said Zane.

Azurill fired it's Bubble attack at Aiden's bey, hitting it's target.

~IN THE STANDS~

"There it is. The first attack." Said Minette.

~ON STAGE~

"It won't matter! I'll finish this before Azurill can land another hit! Lillipup, use Tackle!" Said Aiden.

Lillipup charged forward, but Azurill dodged the attack repeatedly.

"So what will you do?" Asked Zane.

"Lillipup, keep a close eye on how Azurill moves!" Said Aiden. He looked closely at Azurill and examined it for a short moment. "Lillipup, use Take Down!"

Lillipup charged at Azurill.

"Alright. Use Water Sport!" Said Zane.

Azurill charged forward and used it's attack on Lillipup.

"Well, well...something wrong? Where's that additude you showed before? Azurill, use Bubble Beam!" Said Zane.

Azurill fired it's attack at Lillipup.

"Dodge it, quick!" Said Aiden.

Lillipup dodged the Bubble Beam, but the attack chased it around the stadium.

"What?!" Aiden gasped.

Lillipup began dodging the attack repeatedly, but the Bubble Beam soon hit it's target.

"Lillipup!" Said Aiden. "Now i get Zane's stratagy. Hidden Power, let's go!"

Lillipup charged at Azurill.

"The time is now." Said Zane. "Azurill, use Whirlpool!"

A whirlpool formed around Azurill as it charged at it's opponent.

Lillipup was then swept up into the whirlpool attack and sent flying into the air.

"Lillipup!" Said Aiden.

~IN THE STANDS~

"What timing." Said Roxas.

"Perfection. Just when Aiden was making his move, Zane's timing stopped that." Said Hayner.

~ON STAGE~

"What do i do?" Said Aiden.

"Do what you can. This will be your test." Said Zane.

"I'm all ready. I'll pass this test." Said Aiden. "Lillipup, Double Team, go!"

Just then, Lillipup multiplied into countless beys in the stadium.

~IN THE STANDS~

"There must be a million Lillipups." Said Pence.

"And that's a great move to hide the real one." Added Olette.

~ON STAGE~

"It won't work. Quick, use Hydro Pump!" Said Zane.

Azurill fired it's attack and destroyed all of the countless Lillipups.

"Now, Lillipup, use Secret Power!" Said Aiden.

Lillipup charged at Azurill and used it's attack on it's target.

"Waterfall!" Said Zane.

Azurill charged at Lillipup and hit it's opponent with it's attack.

Aiden: "Lillipup!"
