Beyblades: The Best of the Best
By: Pyroteknix
The Bladebreakers stepped out into the tropical climate of the man- made island where they would be competing. A lanky man walked up to the amazed team on the tarmac and greeted them. "Hello there, Bladebreakers! Thank you for joining our company's fund-raising tournament! Please step this way." The man guided the international athletes to a shiny silver car and led them through dense jungle to the gigantic tournament complex, a dome shaped arena with huge pillars around the rim. The Bladebreakers chatted about the competition and their future adversaries. Ray, on the other hand, asked a question about the tournament to their driver. "What exactly is the name of the company that is sponsoring this battle?" Ray asked quizzically. The driver shrugged and answered casually. "G.E.N.E. Genetic Engineering for a New Earth. That's the name." Ray mulled over the strange name and suddenly, a thought occurred to him. "Why do they need a fund-raiser when they can afford such high class items?" He shook off the skeptical idea and joined the conversation with his teammates. Tyson promptly fell flat on his butt after he and his teammates got their first view of the interior of the immense dome. Max absentmindedly pulled Tyson off the floor while he gazed at the tremendous indoors. Kai, meanwhile, was just staring and staring with Kenny as Ray's eyes gazed elsewhere. His eyes were fixed on a certain pink haired girl standing beside her teammates, the White Tigers. However, Ray's eyes slitted when he saw another boy stare at her from behind a plant. The boy's gaze met his almost instantly, as if the teenager could read Ray's mind. He disappeared behind a corner and left Ray alone, a little bit frightened by the starnge brown-haired boy. Kenny noticed Ray's apprehension and tapped his shoulder lightly. "I know that person you noticed. That's Matt, he's part of a team called the BladeTech." Kenny said, pointing to poster of the teams participating in the competition and singled out a guy dressed in a white shirt, blue jeans and an opened jacket with firey colors and flame designs on the bottom. He sighed and turned around to look at the pink-haired girl, his old friend Mariah. However, she was no longer there and another team took her group's place. A man wearing a brightly colored jacket and a baseball cap waved to the Bladebreakers. Max responded with another cheery wave and Tyson yelled out to the other team. "Hey Micheal! Get the All Stars ready for defeat!" Tyson shouted, earning a whack from Kai. Tyson rubbed the spot where Kai hit him and stared back at the smug beyblader. "You get ready, Tyson! Were going to win this one!" Micheal's groupmate Steve replied in his deep, booming voice. Kai waved back at the American team and pulled his teammates to the poster of the competing teams. "We already know the White Tigers and the All Stars. Forget about them and concentrate on the other teams." Ki said in his gruff tone and glared at Ray. "Especially the White Tigers." He added and smiled smugly as Ray balled his hands into tight fists. Max sighed and began to talk about the other teams. "I know one of them, the Dark Eden. Those guys control some pretty nasty bitbeasts and beyblades. Their boss is a guy called Marvin and he rocks beyblade with his Black Velociraptor, Tiblaid. " He said, shaking his head as he remembered the video he watched about them. Kenny butted in and pointed to another team. "These beybladers, Blue Passion, are an all female team and prefer aquatic beyblades and bitbeasts. Their leader is Dominique and she commands the Sea Serpent bitbeast, Levian." Tyson nudged Kenny in the ribs. "Oooh, Kenny likes researching female beybladers." He teased, which earned him two punches from Kai and furious blushing from Kenny. Ray was about to ask about BladeTech, but was interrupted by Kai. "Focus on the teams that are currently in our round robin group." Kai said, referring to the system by which the teams will fight. "Dark Eden and BladeTech are not in our group. Blue Passion, Flying High and Riders are in our group." The Bladebreaker leader announced officially. "Flying High are beybladers who rely on speed to get the job done. They're most famous for their leader, Ian, who owns the Blue Eagle bitbeast, Desrazor." Max cleaned his ear when he heard those names. "Desrazor? Ian? That guy's blade is so fast that it creates sonic booms!" He exclaimed in protest to the tough competition. Tyson whacked his head for not reading those beyblading magazines his grandfather bought him. "Riders is led by Benjamin, master of the White Stallion bitbeast, Fenfield. His team specializes in control and defense beyblades and wait for you to go down." Kai finished and Ray shook his head in sheer disbelief at the amazing teams they had to fight. Kenny finished typing in all the information Kai stated and looked up at the team. "Okay guys! Let's find the training room and get ready! Our first match tomorrow is against the Blue Passion." Dizzi said as Kenny opened his mouth to say the exact same thing. But this time, Kai finished their announcement. "Do what you want until then, but you have to be ready by tomorrow morning." The Bladebreakers nodded and ran off. Ray ran down one of the many halls in the expansive building, searching for Mariah. He looked around, hoping to catch one more glimpse of her. "Ray?" Ray whirled around, surprised by the sudden sound. Both he relaxed as he stared into the eyes of the one he should never have left behind. "Mariah, it's been a long while. How have you." Ray was cut short as the pink-haired girl hugged him tightly, so tightly that Ray could feel her heart pounding in her chest. He blushed a bit, praying that Kai wouldn't notice them. But at the same time he felt happy and contented, glad to be with Mariah again. "I missed you." Mariah said softly as she buried her head in his black hair. "Me too, Mariah." He told her, whispering in her ear. He held her close to him, as though the winds would bring them apart again. But a person watched them, his eyes filled with jealousy and his hands slowly turning into fists. He left the couple without attracting their attention, moving more stealthily than a fox. It wouldn't have mattered anyway as the 2 were oblivious to their surroundings. Tyson and Max dueled with their beyblades in one of the underground training facilities, Tyson obviously winning over the American, while Kenny watched. Max wiped the sweat off his forehead and picked up his smoking Draciel as Tyson did a victory dance on the other side of the metal dish. He looked up and stood there, transfixed by the vision of a beautiful girl walking past them and to the dish a few meters away. Tyson and Kenny followed his stare and were also hypnotized by the female beyblader, who was preparing her beyblade. Then another girl walked in, wearing a light blue T-shirt and dark blue pants. She walked up to the first girl and pulled out her own beyblade, a distinctly colored beyblade with black stripes covering the length of the dark blue top. The first beyblader removed her aquamarine jacket and revealed an ocean blue shirt that flaunted her midriff. Kenny broke the silence between the Bladebreakers with a dazed voice. "Those are the Blue Passion beybladers, the first one was Dominique and the second was Erika, who controls Leviofin, a Dolphin bitbeast." He said, his eyes still glued to the attractive figures that were preparing for a battle. Dominique nodded and launched her beyblade, a light blue beyblade with white highlights. Erika launched her own and sent the beyblade streaming for her teammate's. The two blades collided and landed a few centimeters away from each other, as if they were sizing up the situation. Suddenly, Erika's blade rushed at Dominique's and sparks flew as she released Leviofin while Levian, Dominique's bitbeast, held steadfast. "Dolphin Cyclone!!!" Erika yelled, and her beyblade responded by spinning around Dominique's blade like a deadly chainsaw. It whittled down the stamina of Dominique's Levian as it spun around its rival like a gear grinding another gear. The battle seemed to be going in Erika's favor until Dominique retaliated at full force. "Levian! Serpent Wave!!!" She ordered and her beyblade complied by tilting so that the edge of it was under Erika's beyblade. The amazing power of Levian tilted the beyblade again and flipped the powerless Leviofin unto its protruding edge so that the weight disk of Leviofin was balanced on the attack ring of Levian. Erika tightened her fists as she watched her beyblade balance precariously on the edge of the spinning Levian, which was slowly destroying her beyblade by attacking the weight disk. Finally, Dominque's blade dropped the stilled Leviofin and leaped into Dominique's open hand. Erika smiled at her team captain and pointed to the gaping Bladebreakers. The two giggled at the blushing trio of beybladers and walked out of the training room. "Wow." Max said, blinking his eyes. "Which? The battle or the girls?" Tyson aked in the same dazed voice as Kenny. "Both."
