The Advent of Team Lambda

Tyson jumped back. "I'm the world champion! How could you NOT know who I am?" He demanded.

"W...w...world champion??" She demanded. Then the girl jumped up. "Oh no... oh nonononono!" She looked at the Beyblade in her hand. Then the girl shouted at it. "I didn't mean it literally! I didn't really want to be somewhere else!"

Max cocked his head to the side inquisitively.

"It was just a stupid wish!" The girl ranted. "I didn't really want to be sucked into the Beyblades universe! I didn't mean it at all!"

"Hang on." Robert gently pushed her down. "What do you mean a 'stupid wish.' Stay calm and try to think."

The girl sat down as Robert told her. "I...M...My name is Fera. I got into a fight, because my dad thought that the Beyblades TV show was about Witchcraft, and he's really strict about things like that. My... my mother got into a shouting match with him over it. I ran away... I didn't want to be there. I ran to the boulder near my house. There's a crevice in it big enough for me to hide in. Inside of it there are a whole bunch of animals painted on the walls, including an Itsumade with a dragon's head. I said that I wanted to be somewhere else... and... and then the Itsumade's head turned towards me. The rock and the beyblade in my hand began to glow, and then I blacked out. When I woke up I was here... but it couldn't be... b... because back home Beyblades was just a television show. A Saturday morning cartoon! It... it wasn't real!"

"You guys..." Dizzi said worriedly. "I used the invisible bit beast program that Kenny wrote into me to help beat the Saint Shields. And there was a bit beast carrying the energy bubble. I also picked up a current of really cold air and a rift in space similar to the one that Wolborg created at the World Championships! This kid ain't lying!"

Zeo's jaw dropped. "Holy Cheese on Rye!! Bit beasts can warp space??" He demanded.

"Sure!" Dizzi said proudly. "How do you think its possible to see us? They create an alternate dimension above the Beydish that allows their beybladers to see them. Wolborg is just better at warping space than the others, but within that Warp the Beyblader's will becomes manifest. Since Tala's willpower as a human being had been compromised by Boris' Cyber Technology, Tyson's will power was stronger and he won."

"But that's crazy!" Emily exclaimed as she dove for her laptop.

"I'll even give you the files!" Dizzi protested. "I swear blind! Well, technically I am without a camera but you know what I mean!"

"Okay an argument is not going to help anything here!" Tala said, breaking up the beginning of a very strange shouting match.

Emily uploaded a copy of the visuals that Dizzi gave her. "HOLY FUCKING HELL!" Fera withdrew.

Oliver maintained his wits and wrapped a blanket around Fera's shoulders. Then he calmly thrust a hot plate of food into her hands. "Eat, it always makes Enrique feel better."

"Hey!" Enrique protested.

Fera smiled shyly. "Thanks." She said softly. Fera gripped the beyblade in her hand.

"What's your bit beast's name?" Oliver asked politely.

"How do I tell?" She asked.

"It says its name on the edges of the blade, see?" Oliver pointed to it. "And its picture is on the bit in the center."

Fera looked at the blade. "Dritsu..." Then she gasped. "THAT'S THE ITUSMADE ON THE CAVE WALL!"

"May I see?" Zeo asked, curious. Fera handed him the blade. "Hey you guys, you should see this! It has Dragoon's head, Draciel's front claws, Driger's upper body and Dranzer's wings, talons, and lower body!"

The blade breakers crowded around to look. "Wow!" Hillary exclaimed. "Weird."

Enrique joked. "And I topped it all off with Metalgreymon's hair. He's perfect."

Fera chuckled. "An itsumade usually has the front half of a saber toothed tiger and the back half of a phoenix." Fera said shyly. "But I'm not sure where the other parts come from."

Tala paused, thinking. "Robert, do you think if we were to go through Voltaire's old Data files that we might be able to find a mention of Dritsu?"

Robert nodded.

"There are old scriptures in my home village." Ozuma offered. "I'll see if I can find mention of a Bit Beast that has the ability to teleport, that's basically what happened to her."

"In the meantime. Once you've eaten." Hillary said, looking pointedly at Tyson's grandfather, who nodded in agreement. "We'll get you a sleeping bag and you can join us girls in our room."

"Okay." Fera shivered violently. She took a bite of the plate food Oliver gave her. "Thanks." She ate quietly, listening to the conversation.

"So Wyatt, did you finally find a Bitbeast that won't make you go all psycho?" Tyson asked.

"Yes." Wyatt held his out. "Its name is Baku." He held it out for Tyson to see.

"Weird, it looks kind of like Vanishing Moot!"

"I know what Baku are!" Joseph said cheerfully. "According to Legend they eat Bad dreams and leave good ones in their place!"

"Cool!" Tyson exclaimed.

Kai sighed. //I wish I could have that much luck with my nightmares!// He thought. //Will I always see the Abbey's Destruction in my Dreams?//

"What's wrong Kai?" Rei asked. "You look kind of quiet."

Kai finished up the last bite of food on his plate. It was delicious, fish, chicken and some kind of savory fried corn batter with corn kernels in it. (A/N: They're called corn fritters, and they're absolutely delicious.) "Nothing. I think I'll turn in early."

"Sure. I think I will too." Rei stood up and followed Kai to the room they shared.

"Tyson." Tala was saying. "If you like I can search Voltaire's old archives for information on yours and this Fera's bit beast."

"Sure, I think that would help a lot." Tyson said, graciously.

"Let me help too!" Dizzi added.

"And me." Emily agreed.

Kai returned to his room. Rei followed. "Kai..." Rei sighed softly. He flopped onto the bed they were stuck sharing at Tyson's house.

"Hmmm?" Kai asked, flopping beside him.

//Come ON Rei!// Driger urged him. //Tell him how you feel!//

//I can't Driger! What if he doesn't like me?//

//You won't know unless you try.// The bitbeast pointed out.

//good point// Rei thought.

"Kai..." Rei said shyly. He leaned in to kiss Kai gently. He felt Kai gasp against him, then lean into the kiss. Rei heard Driger purr at the back of his mind, and then everything was focused on the kiss. When they pulled back, Kai's expression was soft, thoughtful.

"How long?" He asked softly.

"Since the day I first met you..." Rei said, leaning in for another kiss. A heated battle began, staged in their mouths. Rei pretended to fight, and then submitted to Kai's domination. Kai slipped the bands off Rei's hair, stroking the silky black locks. Rei shivered in pleasure. "Kai... Take me..." Rei said breathlessly.

Kai did just that. And Rei had never felt so good. In the back of his mind, he felt Driger and Dranzer loving with them, and the knowledge added to his sense of total and utter completion.

He didn't notice the silhouette of Wyatt standing outside their door or the tears of frustration and disappointment streaming down his face.

~meanwhile~

Michael had borrowed Tyson's boombox and he and Eddy were doing hilarious renditions of Foxy Brown. Emily rolled her eyes. Steve and Spencer laughed. Tala smirked from where he, Emily, Kenny and Robert were logged on to Voltaire's archives. Dunga had turned beat red, he turned up his nose when invited to dance, saying, "HOW CRASS!" Even Ozuma had a smile on his face. Kane and Selima joined in the dancing until Miriam happily swung Selima into her arms.

"I taste just like candy!

So fuck with me!

I taste just like candy!

So fuck with me!"

Michael grinned, batting his eyebrows at Eddy dramatically.

"That is scary." Fera commented to Lee.

"You haven't seen scary until you see Kevin with a bag of Oreos." Lee stated.

"They do seem to enjoy it don't they?" Asked Ozuma as Joseph did the worm.

"I've seen scarier stunts." Emily stated, not really paying attention, it being solely focused on the computer in front of her.

"Parachuting into a stadium is one thing, but mimicking Foxy?" Mariah asked. "I think they've totally ruined that song." (A/N: I taste just like Candy! I wonder which one does.... Hmmm...)

"Which ones' the boy?" Max wondered. Kevin and Joseph were happily break dancing.

Gary rolled his eyes and assumed an expression of blissful meditation. "I'll take the Fifth Amendment on that."

Ian rolled his eyes. "If I were the neighbors I'd come over with a shot gun and put the alley cat who was singing that out of his misery." (A/N: Isn't he cute? He looks like Dr. G in Gundam Wing only younger with mauve hair and no stitches!)

"Here here." Kenny answered, blushing furiously.

Tyson danced over to where Max was sitting.

"Now just imagine me nude, stretched out

Be all over the news if this gets out

So bad that the press might ban me

Now how bad you wanna know if I'm sweeter then candy

What would you risk? Would you put up the car?

Taste my na na in the rain on the hood of your car

Or the back of the plane

Nipples all out, bent over the sink with my panties in your mouth"

Tyson sang along with the words. He pulled Max out onto the dance floor. Max turned as red as a beet but followed Tyson's movements. They were so close. Gods Max didn't think that Tyson knew what this was doing to him. Tyson grinned. He and Max were less than an inch apart and Tyson knew that that wasn't a pencil in Max's pocket. Tyson carefully moved them out of Judy's and his grandfather's sight. "Wanna find some place alone Maxi?" He smirked. Tyson's voice was husky with desire.

"I thought you'd never ask." Max said, voice hoarse with lust.

Tyson smirked, pulling Max into his arms. The two of them crept over to Tyson's bedroom. Tyson finally lost restraint, pulling Max into a long, tender kiss while thumbing open the clasps on his overalls. "First time?" He smirked.

Max nodded. "Yeah, yours too?"

Tyson grinned impishly. "I was hoping you could tell me what to do with this." He held up a tube of lubricant. Max pulled Tyson into a long, passionate kiss, and while the revelers outside danced and goofed off, he showed Tyson exactly what to do with Lubricant.

~that night~

It was late, but Fera couldn't sleep. She could also hear the sounds of rather vigorous lovemaking next door.

"Oh Oliver, you're so beautiful in the moonlight like that."

"Enrique... I want you so bad."

"How badly koibito?"

From the ensuing vulgar noises Fera could only conclude that Oliver wanted Enrique bad enough. She clamped her pillow over her head, but five minutes later it could not block out the proverbial 'bells, whistles, and music,' that her friend Shiara had told her about. To make matters worse, she could feel the vibrations through the walls of the bed going... THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP.

She heard... "ENRIQUUUUUEEEEEEEEEE!" as Oliver came and a pause. Then the thumping continued and in her exasperation she bolted upright, and slammed her pillow on the floor.

"What is it?" Mariah asked, lifting her head off the pillow with a sleepy groan.

Fera pointed to the wall. Mariah listened for a moment, chuckled, and rapped on the wall. "Hey keep it down! We're trying to sleep!"

There was no sign that they heard. "I'm going to go make some tea." Fera whispered. "Hopefully by then they'll have settled down."

"They'll break the walls if they keep going like that." Mariah whispered, awed. "I do NOT want to see what their sheets look like tomorrow morning." She said, turning red.

"Hey, where's Hillary?" Fera asked.

"Probably with Emily. She was awed at the number and different types of bit beasts that are out there." Mariah snorted, a smile of nostalgia on her face, probably in memory of her own beginner days.

Fera saw Wyatt standing in the part of the hallway that faced the east. He was watching the moonrise. "Beautiful isn't it?" She asked.

Wyatt jumped. "Oh! I didn't know you were here."

"Well I am. I couldn't sleep." Fera explained. She did not say why. "I was going to go make some tea. Would you like some?"

Wyatt shook his head. "I'm alright, thanks." He looked back towards the door to Kai and Rei's room.

"Something to do with Kai?" Fera asked.

"How did you know that?" Wyatt demanded.

"Lucky guess." Fera answered. "Remember I mentioned a Beyblades TV show?" Wyatt nodded. "There were a couple of episodes with you in them. They depicted you as having kind of... well... and obsession for Kai."

Wyatt nodded. "He's so... strong... so powerful..."

"A symbol of hope perhaps?" Fera asked.

Wyatt nodded again.

"There will always be people like that in the world. I have been told that the Blade Breakers represent everything that's good about Beyblading."

"They do." Wyatt answered. "Did you ever watch the moonrise?" He asked her suddenly.

"Once, I was a CIT at the local summer camp. The CIT's were required to sit night watches. So I was sitting on the hill on watch and I saw what looked like a light between the trees on the opposite hill. I thought that somebody was camping out, because some people wrecked their cars up there a few years back. Then the moon rose over the valley that the camp was in, and I realized what it was. I just sat there for hours watching the moon." Fera sighed, remembering the beauty of the moon.

"I watch the moon all the time." Wyatt sighed. "Its beautiful."

Fera nodded. "So what's really on your mind? I won't laugh or tell, I promise." Fera crossed her heart. "Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye!"

Wyatt blushed, then said, rather shyly. "I... I have a crush on Kai, but I found him and Rei having sex." His face was really red.

Fera smiled. "There was somebody that I had a crush on back home. I never told her about it though." She smiled.

Wyatt's face broke into a smile of incredulous relief. "I'm glad that I'm not the only one around."

"Okay, but you can't tell my secret too." Fera grinned.

"Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye." And they pinky swore on it, cementing the first of the new friendships that Fera would make.

Fera found Hillary in the kitchen, making cocoa. "Hello, did Enrique and Oliver's love making drive you out too?" She asked.

"OH they so hoorny!" Fera giggled. "Can I have some?" She asked.

"Sure." Hillary was pretty good looking. Fera felt her stomach melt with more than the cocoa as she took a sip.

Fera sighed. "Its actually kind of funny. I remember seeing a Majestics fansite back home called 'Purple Glitter.' It was almost entirely devoted to the pairing of Oliver and Enrique." She giggled. "They had pictures of chibi bitbeasts! It was so funny. They had Salamalyon wearing sunglasses!" (A/N: Holla back if you're a Purple Glitter admin!)

Hillary rolled her eyes. "Sometimes I think that boys are just as stupid as girls."

Fera giggled again. "You won't get any argument from me about that." She looked around the kitchen. On the wall, Fera spotted a shield. It was beautiful, on a blue field, a white dragon rampant. "Oh wow! I didn't know that Tyson had a family crest!" She pointed.

Hillary looked. "Oh wow. Its beautiful!"

//Thank you.// The dragon on the shield said. Hillary jumped.

"What's wrong?" Fera asked.

"Nothing." Hillary answered. She finished the last drops of chocolate, before putting the mug in the sink and crossing the room to leave.

A pair of white Dragoon eyes followed her across the room...

~meanwhile~

Bryan peered over Tala's shoulder as he typed search, after search, after search. "NOTHING!" Tala growled, shoving the keyboard away in disgust.

"Have you tried Itsumade?" Bryan asked.

"Yes. And Blade Breakers, and bitbeasts."

"Try mythology." Bryan suggested, as Robert started rubbing the tension out of Tala's shoulders.

"WHAT COUNTRY!" Tala snapped, reading off the computer's search choices. "Goddamnit there are hundreds of countries in the World! How am I supposed to find it?"

"An itsumade sounds Japanese." Robert suggested.

"I know what an Itsumade is, what I want to know is why there's one that combines the Blade Breakers' bit beasts into the same body." Tala said, relaxing at his boyfriend's caress.

Suddenly, the solution came to Bryan. "Try Japan, and then China... no! Try Geomancy!"

Pages of data appeared. "Oh my god! That's why Dr. Zaggar and Voltaire both want the blade breakers' bit beasts!" Robert exclaimed.

Emily scrolled through the data on her laptop. "Apparently there are four shrines, right here in Kyoto, dedicated to the Dragon of the Eastern Rivers, the Phoenix of the Southern Lakes, the Tiger of the Western Mountains, and the Turtle of the Northern Forest. It is said that if these were to fall, so would the city. It also says that the Ancient system of Chinese Geomancy, known also as Feng Shui believes that such creatures protect these same sides of any given property. Between them they regulate the life force energies of the cosmos, known also as Chi. A person who could control these four creatures could control the whole world. Their constituents are the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac, three of which serve each sacred animal."

"Control the life force of the cosmos?" Tala shook his head. The implications of that statement were frightening. He shivered.

That was when Johnny poked his head in. "What are you reading? Can I see?" Tala pushed his chair back to show him. "Oh, the four shrines of Kyoto, I've been there, it's really beauti... WHAT??" He demanded when he noticed them glaring at him.

A shower of pillows followed Johnny from the room. "Jeez, was it something I said?"

~tbc~

(wipes tears from her eye) That. Was. Hilarious.

And now for a short Yu-Gi-Oh anecdote.

~~

The two Bakurae were currently locked in a heated debate.

"Its none of your business where I go!" Ryou growled at his Yami. "Who do you think you are? My boyfriend?"

"I think you're my Hikari and I think I have a right to know where you go!" Bakura growled.

"Oh yeah? That's what you think!" Ryou wrenched the ring off of his Yami's neck and threw it out the window.

It hit Mokuba in the head. "OW!" Mokuba exclaimed. He picked it up. "Shiny. I think I'll put it on."

Yami Bakura took over Mokuba's body and, to his surprise, found himself on the street. "What the Hell?"

He looked at his hand. The skin was too tanned looking. He looked at his hair. It was black. "AH!" He exclaimed when he realized that it was Mokuba.

Ryou sank back in his chair with a sigh of relief. The doorbell rang. Since his father was out, Ryou went to the door.

Mokuba stood at the door with his Yami's hairstyle and tiny fangs sticking out of his evil grin. "Hello Hikari, so you thought you could get rid of me?"

Its not really a fanfic, so I don't know where to put it, but its funny anyway.
