Before the story starts up again, I want to on'ce again (it feels like I always do this but… LOL whatever!) thank everyone who has followed this story. You are all awesome! Anyways, on with the story!

Rin POV

I yawned. "I can't believe Gou and Mako somehow found the energy to fight this early in the morning." I said, earning nods from my other teammates. I can't believe President Hiro decided to make the teams participating arrive early today, it's so unfair. "I know how you feel Rin. They somehow have the energy to argue like this, every single day…" Cameron responded, sighing. I nudged Mark. "Hey Mark, you can't sleep right now." I told him, earning a yawn and "I'm awake… I never fell asleep."

I began listening in on Gou and Makoto's argument. "… and that's why hygiene is one of the most important things for a successful world championship team." Gou said, earning a fake salute from Makoto. "Aye Cap'n Sourpuss! I now totally get why I have to take flossing more seriously!" Makoto replied sarcastically. I sweat-dropped. "That's what you two were arguing about?" They both nodded, causing me to sigh. "Why don't you two get along?" I asked. "Because Mr. Stick Up His Ass is always bossing me around!" Makoto replied, glaring at Gou. Gou however, just yawned and calmly replied with a "Hn."

Suddenly the door opened, and out stepped President Hiro, briefcase and all. "Hm… Gou Hiwatari, I'm very impressed with your leadership skills. You singlehandedly turned a bunch of pro-circuit rookies into one of the top picks for World Championship Team… Not to mention you being the ideal blader. Confident, prideful, strong, intelligent, these are all qualities that you share with your father…" Gou bit his lip at the last part. "Seems like Gou doesn't like being compared with his father, huh Rin?" Driger asked mentally. I agree. It's actually unsurprising when you think about it. Gou is everything Hiro listed, but is also very independent and probably doesn't want to be referred to as being, 'just like his father'. "It seems Hiro knows this and is testing Gou." Driger told me, causing me to realize it as well. It makes sense when you think about it… Hiro's testing Gou's temper.

Surprisingly, Gou just smiled and nodded, seeming unwilling to dignify that with a proper response. Just as surprisingly, Hiro smiled and patted Gou's head causing everyone to stare at the two of them. "Seems you only have a bad temper with poor little Mako." Hiro observed before walking away. We all looked at Gou for an explanation. "What?! Hiro was the one who got me into the pro circuit in the first place. Though I wish he didn't treat me like I was five…" Gou said, sighing.

Next we heard DJ Daichi's voice in the intercom. "Contestants, please enter the arena for the match ups immediately."

Mark POV

We entered the arena to find the other teams there. "Yo! Are you all ready for the next match?! 'Cause I'm pumped up!" DJ Daichi exclaimed, pumping his fist. The crowd cheered. I heard Gou mutter, "Old man in denial of his age." That comment made me snicker. "Okay! Now it's time for the match ups! First we have… Bladebreakers New Generation VS F-Dynasty! We'll give the team five minutes to prepare!" DJ Daichi announced.

While preparing Gou gave us the typical "It's Okay If You Lose, But Try Not To" speech. "… So I'm thinking of putting Mark in, then Rin, and if all else fails it's up to Glutton." Gou explained, earning a groan from Makoto. "I wanted to battle! Rin and Mark will most likely win, meaning I won't get the chance to battle." Makoto complained, causing Gou to glare. "This isn't about who wants to battle, it's about who logically should battle!" Gou explained, seeming frustrated. "Jeez man, you act as if your job is so hard… You just boss people around!" Makoto said. A vein appeared on Gou's head. Uh oh! "Shut up! Do you even know what a team captain does? I have to do tons of paperwork, choose team match ups that ensure we will win, choose flight times, manage our appropriation of funds, and that's all on top of my training regimen! It's really stressful believe it or not, and what do you have to do? You only have to blade!" Gou exclaimed. Wow… that certainly shut Makoto up.

"Okay, bladers, enter the bey-stadium!" DJ Daichi announced. I walked up to the stadium. I was facing a tall guy with long blond hair. "Hello there, my name is Romeo of team F-Dynasty. Prepare for the battle of the century!" Romeo told me, causing me to sweat-drop. This is who I'm battling? "Don't underestimate him Mark, he has a strong aura." Dracielwarned me. "3, 2, 1, LET IT RIP!" DJ Daichi announced. Both blades shot out at, but Romeo's landed first and immediately went in for the attack. Both blades crashed and Draciel was sent backwards. Luckily, Draciel landed right on the edge and shot back into the bey-dish. Holy crap… This guy's stronger than I thought!

"Thorn Rose, attack!" Romeo said. My eyes widened at the blade's power. "Draciel! Aqua Shield!" I yelled. Both blades clashed and shot out of the stadium. Everyone gasped. "No way!" Makoto exclaimed from the stands.

Makoto POV

"How the hell did he beat you?!" I asked as soon as Mark walked over to us. "I don't know… He was just really strong… I'm surprised Draciel even knocked Thorn Rose out as." Mark said, sighing. "Dude! It's impossible! That match barely lasted two minutes!" I told him. I was about to start talking again, when Gou spoke. "F-Dynasty is requesting a tag-team match." I stared at him momentarily, before going berserk. "DUDE THERE IS NO WAY…" I started, but was interrupted by Gou's glare as he walked away and spoke to DJ Daichi.

Gou walked back. "Makoto, Rin, get geared up. You both have a match." Gou ordered. I stared incredulously at him. "YOU AGREED?! ARE YOU INSANE?" He gave me a serious expression and explained his reasoning. "As long as you two work together, we will win no doubt." I grumbled as I prepped my blade.

Suddenly something hit me. Me and Rin were battling together… YES! I can show off some of my incredible blading skills. I stopped grumbling and returned to my usual sunny disposition. "Contestants! Please make your way to the stadium this instant!" DJ Daichi exclaimed. Me and Rin made our way to the stadium and soon found ourselves facing two dual red and brown haired teens. They both bowed. "My name is Ralph Fernandez and this is my sister Rayna. We are honored to be your opponents." Ralph told us, smiling. "Hello! My names Rin and this here is Makoto, the honored feeling is mutual!" Rin told him, grinning.

We prepared and awaited DJ Daichi. "Now that everyone is here, it's time to begin! 3, 2, 1, LET IT RIP!" DJ Daichi announced. On both sides, the blades shot out. "Attack them now, Dragoon!" I ordered.

Gou POV

"WHAT THE HELL IS THE GLUTTON DOING? He needs to work with Rin, not attack two opponents head on and alone!" I shouted, wide eyed. It seemed he wasn't listening because he just kept attacking. Seriously? IF YOU WANT TO IMPRESS RIN THAN JUST WORK WITH HER, DON'T TURN THIS INTO A SURE WIN FOR THEM.

"Makoto! We've got to do this together!" Rin exclaimed, though it seemed Makoto wasn't paying any attention. "Torch Pegasus!" "Thunder Pegasus!" Ralph and Rayna exclaimed. "Gemini Crash!"

Torch Pegasus and Thunder Pegasus both crashed into Dragoon, knocking him out in the process and leaving Makoto with a speechless expression. With Dragoon's departure Driger tried to fend off the others, but was stopped immediately when Torch Pegasus and Thunder Pegasus attacked again. "Looks like Bladebreakers New Generation's winning streak is gone, because the winners are F-Dynasty!" DJ Daichi announced.

As soon as Makoto and Rin arrived back at the stands, I admit, I went ape shit crazy. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT GLUTTON? WHY DID YOU ATTACK ALONE AGAINST TWO BLADERS WHEN YOU HAD NO IDEA HOW POWERFUL THEY WERE?!" I yelled, kicking the wall. Sadly, the wall was made of concrete. "SHIT!" I yelled, caressing my injured foot. "WELL YOU'RE THE ONE THAT ORDERED THE TAG TEAM MATCH IN THE FIRST PLACE! WE LOST BECAUSE OF YOUR DECISION!" Makoto yelled back.

The day didn't get much better after that…
