Beyblades: The Best of the Best

By: Pyroteknix Note: I will stop writing the bloody title every time I write a chapter. It really pisses me off. Please check out my Zoids story, "Counterforce"!

Somewhere inside the vast dome where the Bladebreakers were locked in intense competition with Blue Passion. 3 boys, each dressed in a certain pattern of clothes that matched their bitbeasts, intently watched their team leader practice against 20 computer controlled beyblades with artificially created bitbeasts. His electric blue beyblade with shocking yellow highlights seemed untouchable as each and every opponent he fought with found it impossible to get within 5 cm of his blade. He stood there in his blue short-sleeved shirt with lightning bolts patterned on the sleeves' edges, calmly watching his invincble blade. He snapped his fingers and his beyblade reacted instantly, and discharged a huge amount of energy as it zipped from beyblade to beyblade. In a matter of seconds, beyblade parts littered the arena like discarded garbage. "Send in the replica White Tiger beyblades." The black-haired leader ordered and his teammates responded by launching perfect copies of the White Tiger's beyblades into the practice dish. "Activate M15 prototype." He mentally commanded. His beyblade spun faster and faster until the broken weight disks of the fallen adversaries hovered near his powerful beyblade. "Fire!!!" He yelled and the bits and pieces flew straight at the replica White Tigers, obliterating them in a hailstorm of metal. All but a pink beyblade stood to oppose him and the beyblader merely grinned. "Only one White Tiger is good enough to evade my attack. And this isn't even human controlled. Interesting." He closed his eyes and sent a message to his bitbeast as the pink replica of Mariah's beyblade dashed right at him. "Elektronix, Anninhilation Lightning." He said calmly as a yellow snakelike dragon appeared, every inch of it sparking with electricity. His beyblade launched itself right at the copy of Galux, the bitbeast within the pink beyblade. Electricity coursed out off the electric blue beyblade as it slammed into the White Tiger beyblade, completely destroying the opposing blade in a flash of light. "Good job, Guio." A silver-haired man appeared from behind the shadows, applauding the leader's work. "I don't really care what you say. I only want to defeat Kai and his Dranzer." The tan boy replied tensely. Arcford (A/N: Who do you think the silver-haired guy was anyway?) laughed and pointed to another beyblader, this one dressed in a flaming red jacket with flames outlining the bottom edges of it. "Matt, your turn. Prepare Pyroteknix because we have a new launcher for you." He said evilly.

Elsewhere. "The break's over and were ready to get back to the action!!!" AJ Topper shouted, receiving wild yells from the excited crowd. "Will the famous Kai step up into the ring to get ready for battle with Dominique?" A speaker blared and Kai, leader of the Bladebreakers, nodded and walked out to battle. He stared at Dominique for a while, trying not to get distracted by her prettiness but found it impossible to at such a close distance. "Concentrate, concentrate." He willed himself, but an image of the girl in front of him popped up even when he closed his eyes. "I do not have a weakness. I cannot fall for this trick." He said, mentally blocking out her form. "Kai and his Dranzer are one tough team to beat, but Dominique and Levian the Sea Serpent are also quite powerful!" Brad Best announced loudly. "I must win.cannot get distracted." Kai thought over and over again, desperately trying to rid himself of her image. "Beyblades ready! 3,2,1. Let it rip!!!" Kai opened his eyes and launched his beyblade at full force, avoiding his rival's gaze. Their beyblades circled each other and dueled like two fencers, parrying and attacking with their spinning blades. Sparks flew as the 2 slammed into each other, hoping to be the one to unbalance the other. In the two beybladers minds, one thought reigned over the others. "I usually overpower the other beyblade right at the start, why can't I do that now?" Kai and Dominique thought as their beyblades rammed each other, not one of them giving an inch to the other. "Enough of this!" Kai thought, and summoned his Phoenix bitbeast, Dranzer. "Fire Arrow, now, Dranzer!" He yelled as Dominique summoned her own bitbeast, Levian. "Ocean Upturner, Levian!" She ordered to counter Kai's powerful Dranzer. The 2 beyblades collided with one another, eliminating the entirety of the Great Wall scale model in one big explosion. Their beyblades still spun, dashing around each other like fireflies. "One more time, Dranzer!" "Repeat attack, Levian!" They both yelled, and this time nothing happened. Their beyblades just stopped. Stopped right at the same moment, ending the match with no clear winner. //Dranzer! Why didn't you attack? I was going to win! // //I saved myself, Kai. You didn't want to beat her and if you defeated her, you would have won half-heartedly and lost me. // //That's not true! I want to win every single match! Some stupid emotion isn't going to stop me! // Kai mentally argued with his bitbeast as Dominique did the same. //I could have won that hands down, Levian! Why did you stop? // //Did you want to win completely? // //Well, um, yes! I did want to win! // //You hesitated to beat him. Not me. I only stopped so that I would save myself from an incomplete victory in the heart. // //Shut up! I did not hesitate because of him! // Dominique and Kai finally released all their anger at the beyblades they held in their hands. "SHUT UP!!!" They both yelled at the same time, became surprised and stared at each other. //Dranzer is telling Kai the same thing because; he too, did not want to defeat you. // //Kai, Levian is also telling Dominique what I have lectured you. She felt what you felt, too. // The 2 professional beybladers looked at each other for a while then walked back to their benches. // I do not like her, Dranzer! That is weakness and I do not have weakness! // //You will argue, but in time, you shall see. // Dranzer finished and mentally blocked himself from Kai. The angered Bladebreaker team captain threw his beyblade to the floor as the judges called the match a tie. He looked at the Blue Passion's bench and saw Dominique hit the wall with her fist out of frustration. She noticed Kai looking at her and blushed profusely as Kai did the same. Kai excused himself and went to the bathroom to clear his thoughts with a good douse of cold water. "Whats up with Kai, Ray?" Tyson asked to his bewildered teammate. Ray shrugged casually. "How would I know?" He answered back. "Looks like Max and Erika are facing off in the last battle that will decide the winner of this round! Max's defensive Draciel versus the agile Leviofin, boy is this a match up!" Brad and AJ announced, the crowd responding with whoops of delight. Max nodded and headed off to come face to face with his opponent, Erika. "Beybladers ready!" Max pulled up his Sniper Grip and faced his steely-eyed rival. "3,2,1. Let it rip!!!" Draciel launched right out of Max's shooter and landed in front of Erika's beyblade, spinning back and forth erratically. He charged again and again, evaded by Erika's quicker beyblade. The shorthaired girl shook her head and mentally commanded her bitbeast. A giant dolphin appeared and charged at Max's beyblade, executing the same move she did to Dominique in the night that passed. She spun round and round Max's beyblade, dizzying the crowd with the amazing agility of her blade. Max smiled and slowed the spinning of his stationary beyblade, throwing Erika's blade off balance and tossing it clear out of the smoldering ruins of the arena. "An easy win goes to Max of the Bladebreakers!" The crowd went wild with emotion thanks to Max's quick win. "How did you do that, Max?" Kenny asked, patting the victor's back. "I realized her beyblade's attack relies on the mini-vortex a beyblade creates when it spins, so I simply slowed my spin rate." He said humbly as his ecstatic teammates rejoiced their victory over Blue Passion. "The Bladebreakers win this round by the skin of their teeth!" Brad Best commented as AJ fainted from all the tension. The all-female group walked up to the Bladebreakers and congratulated them. Erika shook Max's hand, her eyes still kind of moist from crying over her loss. Dominique shook each Bladebreaker's hand but looked for Kai, who was nowhere to be found. "Where did Kai go, Tyson?" She asked, and Tyson replied in the same words Ray used. "How would I know?" He shrugged and ran off to catch up with his teammates who were exiting.

Kai sat in the team's room, thinking about what Dranzer had said. "Its impossible. I barely know her and I'm supposed to have hesitated because of her?" // Its called a crush, you moron. // //Dranzer! I told you to shut up! // Kai ran out of the room and bumped into Tyson on his way out. "Hey, Mr. Sourpants! We wo. Hey!" Tyson protested as Kai shoved by him and ran away.

Dominique splashed some cold water into her face, contemplating Levian's message. "Why did I hesitate? I wish I knew." // You know why you hesitated, Dominique. I already told you. // // I do not like him! It's just, just. I don't care!!! Leave me alone! // Dominique ran out the Blue Passion's room, tears welling up in her eyes. // Oops. Guess I shouldn't have irked her. // Levian thought regretfully.

"Ray, you won!" Mariah hugged Ray tightly, and Ray kissed her head gently. "Nah, I lost, remember? My teammates won it for us." Mariah laughed and stroked his raven-black hair. "You still won in my heart." She said, nuzzling him gently. "You really remind of a cat, you know." Ray said jokingly, referring to her feline motions. She smiled and rubbed her head against his chest. "Then let me be your little kitty cat." Mariah said softly. Ray held her close and whispered into her ear. "You will always be." He kissed her on the lips for a fleeting moment and walked off, leaving a very happy Mariah behind. "I hope we don't have to fight their team!" He thought as he proceeded to his team's suite. But he stopped abruptly as he heard Mariah scream from behind him. He whirled around and ran to her, his hands turned into fists. "Raymond, Raymond, Raymond. I already warned you about seeing Mariah." Lee, leader of the White Tigers, stared into Ray's yellow eyes. He held Mariah tightly, covering her mouth as well. Ray gritted his teeth and spat on the carpeted floor in front of Lee. "I despise your guts, Lee." He said angrily, glaring at the powerful beyblader. Lee laughed and replied to the insult. "If I catch you one more time, I'll be telling Kai what you've been doing and kick Mariah off the White Tigers." He threatened, but Ray scoffed at him. "You wouldn't dare kick Mariah of the White Tigers, she's your 4th player." Ray retaliated harshly. "I prepared and got us a back-up beyblader in case of a situation like this." Lee said, grinning maliciously. "Damn you, Lee." Ray said, cursing his rival. "Buh bye!" Lee said, hauling a tearful Mariah away and waving back at Ray. "Mariah."

Kinda sappy, but I like it! I got a bit bored writing action segments only.
