Chapter 2: A New Set Of Rules

"Let's go!" Tyson yelled as he spun around, coming face to face with...

"Oh.hey it's Mr. Dickinson," said Max as he walked up and stood beside Tyson.

"I can see that Max!" replied Tyson sarcastically.

Mr. Dickinson chuckled,

"well, hello boys.. I thought I'd find you guys hanging around here!"

"Of course, you know Beyblading's my life" replied Tyson; "but..why are you here Mr. Dickinson?"

Kenny elbowed Tyson in the side, as he smiled innocently at Mr. Dickinson.

"Of course, you know were glad you came!" added Tyson rubbing his side.

"Yes, well I'm not just here for a pleasure trip you know" replied Mr. Dickinson, " I happen to have a surprise for you boys!"

"Great!" yelled Tyson throwing his hands in the air, "I just love surprises!"

Max laughed as Kenny sighed,

"he..doesn't get out much!"

"Well boys..it seems that we've been invited to a very exclusive tournament, being held in Mexico" Mr. Dickinson said, straightening out his glasses.

"Mexico..that is soooo cool!" Max replied enthusiastically.

Kenny nodded in agreement,

"the sight seeing will be unbelievable!"

Tyson looked at Kenny oddly,

"we don't have time for sight seeing Chief..I did I forget to mention that, Mexican food is my favorite!"

Everybody laughed at Tyson's usual food remark.

"Well, I can see that nothing's changed with you guys," a familiar voice replied from behind them.

Tyson, Max, and Kenny quickly spun around as they stood in shock.

"Oh.. I guess I forgot to mention," Mr. Dickinson added with a smile; "I brought Rei back with me."

Everyone still stood looking in shock as Kenny broke the silence,

"I can't believe your actually here Rei!"

"Of course I'm here Kenny" Rei replied grinning, " you didn't actually think I'd let you guys go to Mexico without me..besides, I like Mexican food just as much as the next person!"

"Rei, it's great to have you back!" said Max, as he and Rei clutched hands.

Tyson couldn't hold in his excitement any longer, he quickly threw his arms around Rei, Max, and Kenny.

"Alright..the Bladebreakers are reunited again!"

Mr. Dickinson smiled contently at the happy group,

"Well boys, I have some things that I ought to be doing, I'll be seeing you all later!"

"Sure thing Mr. Dickinson!" Tyson replied happily.



The day wore on as the clock slowly turned to 2:00. Tyson and the others sat beneath a shady tree as they watched the ongoing beybladers, still duking it out.

"Those are some pretty determined beybladers out there!" said Max as he propped himself up on his elbows.

"I suppose" replied Tyson as he lay on the lush grass, looking up at the sky. "But there's really no competition here for Dragoon and I."

"Now, now Tiger" Dizzi replied from Kenny's open lap top; "I remember when you were but a young beyblader yourself!"

"Yeah, yeah" Tyson replied annoyed, "hey Rei..got something on your mind?"

Rei stood silently, leaning against the tree trunk with his eyes closed. "I'm just wondering where Kai's at..don't you think the whole team should be together right now."

"I'm sure he's around here somewhere," Tyson answered becoming upset. "You know Kai, he's probably getting a thrill out of destroying these kids beyblades!"

"Maybe, but do you think he even knows about the tournament?" Kenny questioned.

"Of course he does guys..I mean Kai's our team leader, he's probably already planning our first day of training!" added Max without any doubt.

"Yeah" groaned Tyson, "good-bye 12:00 sleep ins!"

"Guys, you got to check this out," said Kenny as he interrupted the conversation. "I found some information on our tournament!"

"Ahem..don't you mean WE found information on the tournament," added Dizzi.

"Of course...sorry Dizzi."

Tyson, Rei, and Max all huddled around Kenny, as he continued typing on his laptop.

"Well, firstly it's called the 'Beynamite' tournament, and it says here that in order to be entered into the tournament, you have to be invited the coordinator himself. Wow, don't you guys feel special!" said Dizzi as she read the information.

"Well," said Tyson as he began to get cocky, "this is going to be like any other beyblading tournament..were going to win first place!"

"Wait a minute Tyson" replied Kenny, "this may be another beyblading tournament, but there's a whole new set of rules!"

"Oh yeah..well then fill me in Chief," replied Tyson. "I'm sure it's nothing that we can't handle!"

"OK Tyson, try this one" Max said as he read the first rule. "Unbelievable!"

"Huh?..what's unbelievable!?" Tyson asked trying to look at the computer screen. "Come on guys don't leave me hanging!"

"Settle down Tyson" laughed Max, "it says that in order to be eligible in the tournament, every member on the team must have a bit beast!"

"So what's the problem," asked Tyson slightly confused. "We all have a bit beast."

"That's not the point Tyson," said Rei as he crossed his arms. "Can you imagine the competition that'll be at that tournament."

Tyson nodded,

"oh yeah...and just imagine all those wicked bit beasts!"

"Tyson, you got to take this seriously" replied Rei. "There are so many bit beasts out there that we've never even heard of, and I'm sure a lot of them will have no trouble going up against our own beasts!"

"What!? Are you saying that Dragoon isn't strong enough!" Tyson asked angrily.

Rei shook his head,

"that's not it at all..I'm just saying that we have to take all the competition seriously."

"Rei's right Tyson" said Kenny, "let's not get carried away!"

"Well boys it looks like your going to need a lot of training for this tournament," Dizzi replied. "Rule number two says that all battles must be fought 2 on 2."

"2 on 2?!" questioned Tyson, "I've never heard of that before!"

"That's cause the whole concept is new," answered Kenny. "It's called a 'team battle', two players from each team must compete at the same time..and they need to work together in order to win the battle."

"That sounds soooo cool!" added Max, "just imagine the major butt kicking Draciel and Dragoon would do together!"

"It may sound like fun Max" said Rei looking a bit worried, "but it's not going to be easy..remember we all have bit beasts."

"Yeah, so?" said Tyson, obviously not getting the point. "That would make us a whole lot stronger wouldn't it."

"Not necessarily Tiger, you see we bit beasts don't really get along so well with each other," added Dizzi.

"I see" replied Kenny, understanding the whole concept. "Our bit beasts are only used to attacking other people's blades, so in a 'team battle' they'll mistake their own partner blade for the competition!"

"BINGO!" rang out Dizzi.

"And that could cause for some serious problems," finished Rei.

"Come on guys, their may be some new rules ahead of us...but, it's nothing we can't overcome with a little practice and hard work!"

Max laughed,

"Tyson's right..although I can't believe you actually said 'hard work'!"

"Well I can't believe that Tyson was actually right about something!" Dizzi replied.

"Hey...I resent that, name one time when I've ever been wrong!"

"Well.."

"I wouldn't finish that sentence if I were you," said Tyson as he glared at Max.

"Oh boy" Kenny said, sounding worried. "It seems that we have a dilemma."

"I don't like the sound of that Chief," replied Tyson.

"Well, it says here that in order to be eligible...every team must have 5 members!"

"That's just great!" Tyson yelled as he punched the side of the tree trunk. "So much for the Mexican food!"

"And I was looking forward to the whole 'team battle' thing," Max replied glumly.

"Hey come on guys," Rei said not looking depressed at all. "Obviously Mr.Dickinson heard about these rules long before we did. I'm sure he's already got us another teammate."

Everyone nodded in agreement as Tyson jumped into the air,

"and I can't wait to meet him!"



(So what do you think? Are you interested in it..huh? Well hopefully you guys will keep leaving feedback, that way I'll know if I should continue writing it. Anyways looks like Tyson's going to be surprised when he finds out his new teammate is a girl!!!)
