New Changes
In Riri's home's backyard, Tyson was practicing with the new attachments in his blade while Kenny was making others' beyblade ready with the new design. Tyson was practicing for long and he was sweating. He commanded Dragoon, "Dragoon, Turbo Tornado." Dragoon lost its vigor and stopped spinning. It was maybe the hundredth time it happened since morning and everyone knew it wasn't something new. Riri smacked the back of Tyson's head and scolded, "What is wrong with you?"
"What is wrong with YOU!?" He yelled at her, "You are the one who is smacking my head since morning."
"If you don't concentrate I will smack your ass too!"
Kenny was done with redesigning everyone's beyblades. Suddenly, a notification popped up on his laptop. It did not catch Riri and Tyson's attention, who had already started fighting. Kenny saw what was sent and then said to all of them, "Guys, Mister Kenning wants to meet us. He has some information with him."
Riri looked at him after scolding Tyson for too long and said, "Really? So, is he coming?" Kenny nodded his head into a 'no' and said, "He is asking us to visit him." Tyson scratched his head and said, "So we should go, right?"
"Of course."
The Kennings lived close to Naomi and Riri's home. The team walked to their house. Riri opened the main gate and entered the courtyard. The main door was open and Rosetta was seen wearing black pump shoes. She was wearing a white shirt tucked in her pleated black skirt and black net stocking with black pump shoes. Her short reddish-brown hair was tied into a half pony leaving a strand of hair in front of eyes. She looked up and saw them coming in.
"Hey, guys," she said smiling at them, "Daddy had been waiting for you." They look smiled and then looked around the hall. There was a staircase going upstairs and three doors leading to the kitchen, living room, and the parents' room respectively. There were scratches on the walls that looked like it had been cut through. Rosetta saw them noticing the scratches so she blushed and said, "I did that." They all looked back at her. Max asked her, "How?"
"I was practicing with my beyblade but after all that happened in Shimla, Catastos does not follow my orders. It looks like he lost a lot of memories and I lost his trust." She pulled out the beyblade from her purse and showed it to them. They gasped as they saw the beyblade with scratches and broken attachments. She chuckled and said jokingly, "I lost my last part-time job because of it. Hehe."
They couldn't believe how she just laughed about her beyblade breaking things up. Of course, she didn't mean to blame Catastos and she felt hurt deep inside. It was just a way to say that she was fine when she was not.
"Rosy!" A female voice called her from outside. Rosetta joyously said, "Babe is here. I gotta go! Dad is upstairs." She went out merrily jumping and grabbed the other girl's arm. She planted a peck on her lip and they both walked out.
The team watched them while the duo walked away. Riri went inside and upstairs. She knocked on the door of Mister Kenning's lab.
"Come in," Luke said from behind the door. She opened the door and saw Luke sitting in front of a large table in the middle of the room. He turned and looked behind and said, "Bladebreakers! Come in, please."
They all walked in and surrounded the table. Luke opened a drawer and took out a box. He opened it and said, "Kenny, Would fix this part on everyone's beyblade?"
"What is it?" Kenny took the box and opened it. There were spherical mechanical parts for beyblades. Kenny replied, "The new changes I talked about. These parts are a special mechanism that will tell us how much energy is left in your beyblade. The exhibition matches will set an example of it. If your beyblade's energy declines under fifteen then you will lose. The energy in your beyblade will be displayed on a screen."
He clicked a button on a remote and a 3D projection of the battle arena was formed in the middle of the table. The arena looked just like what it looks normally. Then the whole projection started to change and the beyblading dish was removed entirely. It was replaced by a plain floor with few divisions with a little circular area in between. Luke continued, "The arena's design is changed and it is made for just the beybladers to enter. The battleground had different and unique themes; they will be chosen randomly right before the match. DJ Jazzman will not be in the battleground instead he will be doing his commentary from the balcony near the audiences' seats. The rest of the team members will have to sit outside the battle area." He waited for the projection to change a little more. A transparent hemisphere appeared over the area. "For the safety of the audience, this transparent safety barrier is made. No attack will affect the audience. All the teams have to collect points. The point in a single match does not exceed 10, which means, every team versus team has to the probability of getting 30 points. Right now, your team's point is 250, the highest of all."
After he completed, he looked at the kids to see their reactions. They were pleased and confused at the same time. Tyson asked in place of all of them, "Why is all of this added in the middle of the tournament?"
"World BBA took over the broadcasting of this tournament after it received many audiences. Due to the long break in between the tournaments, the Indian Tournaments overlapped the period of world championships thus, leading to the Indian Tournaments to change into world championships. The teams are going to play to gain points; if they lose they will get negative points."
"What about our team?" the current world champ asked. Closing the whole projection, Luke replied, "You have the highest points right now, your team is already qualified for the final match. But, if any team exceeds your points before the finales you have to battle them first; if you lose, the other team will play the finales. Though, I believe it is not gonna happen as the numbers of matches are enough to get the equal point as you until the finale. The team which has equal point as you will be your opponent in the finale."
Pulling his left eyebrow up, Tyson asked another question from his pile of questions, "So, we are going to be in the finale by default?"
"Of course not. You worked hard to get till here. It is a fair competition." He slammed a bunch of papers on the table and started reading them. He looked at them once more and said, "Now, run along." They left the room and went back to their practice session, which included Tyson failing again and again and getting slammed on the head again and again. Kai, Max, and Ray didn't fail quite yet, but they had a few times drained energy.
As the sun sets, all of them went back inside for rest and food. The sky turned vermillion with the graduation of dark blue. Tyson looked down at the dish seeing Dragoon had again stopped spinning. He was tired and sweating. A female voice from behind said, "It is of no use. You are drained." Tyson turned to see her, it was Riri. Riri walked to him and said, "Why would you practice even after you have drained yours and your beyblade's energy?"
"I have to train myself. I am letting down Dragoon with me?" he explained. She put her hand on his shoulder and with a considerate expression and voice, she said, "It will be of no use if you drain yourself like this." She picked up Dragoon from the dish and gave it to him. Then she launched Polaris into the dish. As it landed into the dish there was the same sigil from before formed under the beyblade. Polaris started accelerating its rotation.
Rosetta was in her backyard with her broken beyblade. Riri's voice was heard from the background explaining Tyson, 'The relationship between a bitbeast and its master is a relation of trust.' Rosetta picked it up, clutching it in her grip and looking at it sadly. 'If the master gives too much pressure on his blade then the trust of the bitbeast will be lost to him.' She walked back into the house.
Back to the duo, Riri gave a considerate smile to him. Polaris stopped and she picked it up. "Come on in now. Hilary made dinner."
TO BE CONTINUED...
So guys, how was all of it? I took too much time in this chapter and I personally think it wasn't like my writing style. I just dumped all the facts into it.
Information about Riri's Sigils power: It is a power unique for just Riri. Sigils are a kind of design inside a circle. Riri's sigils are formed when she touches anything. When she summons two sigils (it didn't happen yet), both the sigils accelerate towards each other, like poles of the magnet. Single sigil is only summoned when she wants to accelerate the rotation of a beyblade. Riri's sigils can also summon an armored spirit but it requires a particular feeling and state.
