Gone South for the summer

Summary: All the bladers are spending a summer at Max's aunt's house in America. The time there was supposed to be filled with fun activities, but will they be able to get to them with the appearence of a mysterious team that seems to be challenging all the visiting teams one by one to secret matches, leading to defeat after defeat of the teams one by one. On top of that, an odd girl who seems to have even less emotion then Kai, seems to be having truobles of her own that some others get dragged into. Sounds like a bunch of fun for them, no?

Disclaimer: I only own my OC's, not Beyblade or the charcaters in Beyblade. Also, Blitzkrieg, Tala's dog, is owned by Apple Senorita. And the main idea of my OC's team is off of one of Yurii Savinov's stories.

Pairings: None yet, though some might come soon. xP

Quick note: Ignore all of my mistakes please, I've got such short-term memory that it's killing me to look through and find all of my mistakes because I forgot to do something. -.-;;

Dedications: This story is dedicated to three of the best authoresses ever! Yurii Savinov, who is awesome, Apple Senorita, who was so kind to let me use Blitzkreig, and Rand-Chan, whose so awesome for updateing her great story so frequantly!

Tala hurried to pack the remainder of his picnic lunch thing, he could already hear the other people leaving their tents and heading off towards the meeting point. Crap, he was going to be late, which Kai would be upset about and probably rip his head off for. As he finished packing away the final item, he turned to leave the tent, only to hit something and fall backwards.

"I see you were finally coming."

"What, did Bryan throw you in the lake again, Kai?"

A low growl was heard, as Kai and Tala got to their feet. The dual haired teen brushed his pants off, while the red head grabbed the bag he had dropped. After the two were ready, the turned and headed off towards the woods, a group had formed right outside a path heading into the wooded area.

"Is everyone here?"

Tala looked up to the owner of the rather irritated voice, only to find it belonged to Mishka, whose icy blue eye was looking everyone down like a hawk. A hand was raised after Mishka's question.

"What little green boy?" Mishka asked, her eyebrow twitching.

"First off, my name is Kevin. Also, Rei left to go get Mariah and Mathilda," Answered the 'green boy'.

Mishka looked thoughtful for a moment," Ok, is everyone other then those three here?"

Another hand shot up in the group, this one belonging to Miranda, so Mishka didn't look as bothered by it.

"Yes?"

"Where's my mom?" Miranda asked, pure joy could be heard ringing through her voice.

"If I knew where your flippin mother was, I'd tell you!"

Most people in the group winced at Mishka's tone of voice, which really wasn't too different from her normal one, but just raised enough to strike fear in others, and to get her point across. Tala turned from Mishka, to look over at the three making there way over to the group, it was Mariah, Rei, and Marian. Mariah was leaning against Rei while she finished putting a shoe on, hopping along while Rei walked, and Mathilda followed slowly behind, focused on her own thoughts.

Light and dreamy sighs could be heard coming from the other girls as they watched Rei and Mariah. Tala spat on the ground, disgusted by their actions.

"Hey, Wolf boy, don't spit."

Tala turned, only to find Mishka right next to him.

"Wait, wasn't she just in front of the group?"

"She moves like some sort of…phantom."

"Ha, real funny Wolborg, you and your lame jokes…"

Mishka was looking intently at Tala, obviously waiting for an answer. She sighed as he started to zone out, quickly awakening him by snapping her fingers in front of his face. The look on his face was priceless, mixed with anger and surprise, and a bit of confusement, Mishka had to fight back giggling at it.

"What?" Tala asked in a dry tone.

"We have to have partners for hiking, so you'd better go and ask your boyfriend before someone else claims him," Mishka answered, before turning and whipping Tala in the face with her hair.

"Wait, who is my boyfriend supposed to be?" Tala asked in a confused voice, trying to figure out what the girl meant.

"Hiwatari."

Tala almost fainted at the name, and then had to fight back the urge to throw up," Are you joking? That would be so disgusting; he's like...my brother!"

Mishka just waved a hand in pardon, before going off to the front of the group again, speaking in her loud announcer voice.

"Everyone must have a partner for hiking, who must stick together so that the other doesn't get eaten by a wild bear."

Tala rolled his eyes at Mishka's words, before turning and walking towards his two toned haired friend, who happened to be leaning against a tree. Tala stood next to him, seeing as he was going to be Kai's partner.

"Are you serious that there are bears in the there?" Hilary shrieked, as she pointed to the wooded path.

"Yep," Mishka answered in a low monotonous voice.

"Don't worry Hilary, I'll protect you," Tyson ensured, putting a comforting arm around her shoulders.

"Aw, thank you Tyson," Hilary rested her head on his shoulder as she replied.

Mishka let out an exasperated sigh," Is everyone paired up now?"

Since everyone nodded their heads, Mishka turned and started heading into the woods, following the path closely. Laura ran up next to her, obviously being her partner for the hike, while Mary and Miranda followed close behind. The rest of the group soon joined them, all in their own small groups.

As the continued to walk further into the woods, a loud rustling could be heard coming from off the path, causing some to jump in surprise.

"Tyson, is that a bear?" Hilary asked, clinging to the said boy.

"Um…er…well, of course not, it's probably just a…bird," Tyson replied, trying to think of the best answer.

Mishka glanced over towards the area where the noise was coming from, her good eye scanning for any sign of what type of thing was causing the noise. She let out a sigh, which was accompanied by a few screams due to the girls in the group, and Kenny, when Blitzkrieg came running out of some bushes, running passed Bryan and taking the bag he had in his hand, before running off again.

Ian fell on the ground laughing, as he watched Bryan look in surprise at his empty hand, then up at where Blitzkrieg had left, his face almost looking like it had turned red from anger.

"Ian, If you don't shut up, I'll throw your little body so far into the woods, no one will be able to find you before all the animals eat you," Bryan growled, causing Ian to jump up and stop laughing.

Tala went to hide behind Kai as best he could, trying to get away from Bryan's glare.

"Tala, you're taller then Kai, I can plainly see you," Bryab said, earning a kick in the stomach by the dual haired boy.

Mishka stepped in between the two before they did anything else," Walk you two!" she commanded, before turning and walking back to the front of the group.

/She gets on my nerves…/

/Yeah, she can also understand Russian, Ian./

------------

Everyone sat around in a small clearing, eating whatever food they had packed. Mary and Miranda had left a bit earlier, going back to camp to find Ms. Kristin. Mishka and Laura sat silently at the front of the group, watching to make sure none of them did anything stupid while they ate. After everyone was finished, and packed back up, Mishka stood up to signal that they were going again.

"Whoa, look, it's a beystadium out here in the middle of no where," Enrique stated, as he watched one come into view as they walked.

Most in the group looked to see what Enrique was talking about, noting that there was a beystadium right in front of them also, some whispering could be heard, before the faint sound of a beyblade spinning interrupted it.

Miguel made his way over to the dish," there's a beyblade spinning in here?"

Just as the boy spoke, a gruff voice could be heard, coming from some where nearby.

"Would you and your team accept a challenge of battling me in the stadium?"

More whispers could be heard in the group, as Mathilda, Aaron, and Claude stepped up next to Miguel, waiting for their leaders answer.

"Fine, we take you up on your offer."

The beyblade that had been spinning in the dish quickly shot up into the trees, as its owner jumped down from where he had been perched. The person was dressed in a black hooded cloak, with a plain black mask on his face that only showed emerald green eyes.

The five got ready to launch their blades, as they waited for Laura to count down.

"3….2….1…" Laura counted down, the bladders launching their blades at the end of the countdown.

The blades of the Barthez Battalion spun at a fast pace around the other bladders beyblade that spun slowly in the middle, as if waiting for the perfect moment.

"Now, attack!" Miguel called, as all four blades headed towards the one in the middle of the dish.

"Rana, swamp water attack!" called the masked blader in their gruff voice, a large frog like animal showed itself, coming out of the blade that spinning below it.

The four attacking blades were surrounded by swamp water, spinning slowly on a lily pad, trying to keep steady. The masked bladders blade had gone underneath the water, only to come back and throw all four of the blades off the lily pad and out of the dish.

Just then, Mary came running up, panting heavily.

"What happened?" she asked, once seeing that Aaron, Miguel, Mathilda, and Cluade seemed to be sweating like crazy, their blades lying next to their feet.

"Where's Ms. Kristin?" Mishka asked, rushing over towards the auburn haired girl.

"Her and Miranda are further back, since I rushed to see what happened once I heard a commotion coming from over here," Mary explained, rushing her words a bit.

"Well, the Four Seasons attacked again, so go get them!" Mishka ordered, pointing in the direction Mary had came from.

Mary nodded, before turning and running back in the direction of Miranda and Ms. Kristin.

Tala blinked as he watched the scene, he could've sworn he had this figured out, but perhaps he was wrong, or this was planned very well…

"Wolborg, do you know who Rana, the bitbeast, belongs to?"

"No, but I can find out."

"Ok, that would be helpful."

Just as Tala stopped talking to Wolborg, Ms. Kristin and Miranda ran up, Ms. Kristin hurrying over towards the four that were leaning against anything close for support.

"Everyone, it's time to head back to camp," Ms. Kristin ordered calmly, as she helped Mathilda walk.

"Odd, to think they followed us all the way here…" Kai muttered, as he followed Tala on the path.

"Very odd…"
