Yo! A big thanks to all my fans out there! THANK YOU!!!!

Part One. Section Three.

Ray, rolled over and yawned, coming back to the waking world. He winced, as he stretched.

'Man my back hurts!' he though as he dug around for whatever he'd been sleeping on.

He pulled out a rather heavy looking book.

"Chemistry; Molecules, Matter & Change...Kai..." He grumbled.

He looked over at where the older boy was sleeping.

Kai had his cheek resting on an open textbook, dead to the world, with a pen, loosely clamped in his right hand. He groaned as he turned his head, facing away from his observer.

Ray looked at the book in his hands. 'Kai must be getting really serious' he thought as he put the book next to its owner, and quietly getting up before he disturbed anyone else. He slipped on his white Chinese outfit, then went outside into the midday sun.

He couldn't get over how big the Temple of Quetzalcoatl was. It was huge! He walked down the plaza, past the raised stone platforms, towards the citadel in front of the Temple. As he started to walk up the stone steps, a green Beyblade whizzed down and barred his way. He reached down and picked up the spinning blade carefully, as to not cut his fingers on the sharp attack ring.

"You shouldn't be this far, you know!" A girls voice alerted him.

Ray looked down at the girl standing at the foot of the stairs.

"Huh?" He asked, rather stupidly.

"Only Semi-Finalists are allowed on the citadel," She scolded.

"Oh and I suppose you are?" Ray asked.

"No, I'm not. My team hasn't made it to the Semi-Finals yet! But we will!" She held up her hand.

"My blade, if you please." She demanded.

Ray walked down the steps and handed her blade to her.

"So where am I supposed to be?" He asked her.

Her face softened a bit, before she pointed back to the other end of the plaza.

"Everyone, starts at the first two platforms down there. The tournament starts tomorrow. Each day, the winning teams advance up the platforms, finally leaving four teams to beybattle on the citadel. The finalists them battle on the top of the Temple," She explained.

"Until then, you're not allowed on the platforms, plaza, citadel, or Temple."

"So I can pretty much do what I want, until tomorrow…" Ray said.

"Exactly, by the way my name is Lauren, what is yours?"

"I'm Ray." He extended his hand.

Lauren glanced down at it but didn't do anything. Ray withdrew his hand as he shrugged.

"Oh Yeah…If you get up to the Finals! We aren't gonna go easy on you!" Lauren said as she stared to walk away.

"Hey Ray!" Kenny said cheerily as he neared the small table.

"Hey Chief! How are you?" Ray sat down on one of the chairs.

"I'm not bad…though, I've been thinking about your Driger. I want to upgrade it, but I'm not sure if you'll like the changes."

"Show me Chief." Ray pressed.

Kenny held out his hand, on his open palm sat the sweetest blade, Ray had ever seen.

There were three spires on the Attack ring, each fashioned in the shape of a tiger claw. The Weight ring was the same as Kai's old Dranzer, and the base was decorated with miniature tigers. All that was missing was the Driger bit.

"That is a nice blade Chief. Can I test it out now?"

"Sure." Kenny handed the blade to Ray.

Ray clipped the Driger bit into it, and admired the new blade.

Another short one, but I write these between lectures, or on weekends, I write when I get the chance. Hope you all like it.!
