Kerda: MAX!!! The script is gone!!!

Max: Geez, Kerda, just say what you usually say.

Kerda: oopppsss, sorry, good idea Max (*Max sweat-drops*). I don not own BeyBlade and neither does Darina, but we like writing about it anyway.

~Rei's POV~

      When I saw that look of craziness in Carmen's eyes, I knew I was in trouble. She wasn't just pulling my leg; she really DID want to hurt me. Badly…

       " Say GOODNIGHT, REI!!!" she yelled and lunged towards me. The knife was high in the air. For the moment I was stunned. My mind went totally blank as I had images of her cutting my throat.

       No, snap out of it, that's not going to…ahhh. I ducked at the knife that was originally mad for me crashed into the wall above me. I quickly got out of the way and Carmen pulled the knife, leaving a hole in the wall. For a little KID she sure had some MAJOR power.

       " Oh, Rei, I'll enjoy seeing you squirm after I plunge this little knife into your chest!" she turned to me. LITTLE KNIFE?!? That knife was anything BUT little.

       " Carmen why are you doing this?" I asked as she lunged at me again, barely missing me by an inch. I think I jumped too high, because at the next moment I was heading towards the ground headfirst. There was a crash! I think I hit the sink because I wasn't sure, since I couldn't think strait anymore. When I opened my eyes my vision began to go blurry. But I could still see Carmen advancing at me. Knife in the air…

Ready to kill…

       " This is the END of your story, Rei," she stopped right next to me and the hand with the knife went up. I'm just sorry I couldn't make this more painful for you." More painful? This is already good enough as it is…well, for her anyway. My body screamed in pain and I wanted to get out, but if I opened up my wings, where would I go…there's no window here. Wait, I'm finally thinking strait. Crazy, but strait…

         Just before the knife could cut its way inside my chest, I jumped up, using all the strength I had left and landed on my feet. Then I noticed a long cut on my leg. So, she DID manage to get me. I know I must have looked like I did when I fell from my spacey adventure. Little cuts and bruises, as well as hits covered my body and…urrgh, DAMN!!! What did she put on that knife, my cut burns like hell. I thought I was going to collapse on my feet; my leg felt like it was on fire!

        " You just don't know when to give in, do you Rei?" Carman's voice came through me mind and I saw her coming up again. Oh, no! If she cuts me again…darn, I hope she didn't see my blood color. She'd know I'm not like them. Now I definitely have no where to go…

        " Your leg feel sort of hot? Well, it should," Carmen said, and I swear I saw a smirk on her once childish-expression filled face. This knife was smothered with my special bacteria that can…well, lets just say you won't be chilling for a while." I picked myself up, now my vision almost black, only colors swirling in front of me. Carmen laughed.

      " Don't worry, the effect isn't permanent," she said. It'll only cause you to loose consciousness for some time, enough for me to have fun with you." MORE FU?! Jesus, I already had all the "FUN" I could handle. Oh, no, here she goes again…

~Normal POV~

       Kenny was running down the hall. He, Naia and Tyson split up to look for Rei and he said he'd go to the bathroom, so Kenny figured he'd find Rei there.

      I hope he's okay, Kenny thought, finally reaching the bathroom. What he saw in front of him when he opened the door horrified him more then he was ever horrified…

~ Again Rei's POV~

        Huh, somebody's opening the door. That seems to distract Carmen for a little while. Wait, is that…Kenny? Why is he staring at me like that? Oh, yah, I forgot…I guess it's not everyday you see me bleeding on the floor. Wait, uh-oh. Oh, no, I'm bleeding. Now he'll know I'm not like him by my blood color. Oh, god, why did this have to…

        " K-K-Kenny…" My voice faded as I slipped into unconsciousness before I could warn him.

~Kenny's POV~

       I thought this was all a terrible nightmare when I got a glimpse of Rei. He was lying on the floor, his eyes half-closed, and clothes SOAKED with blood HIS blood. And, oh, no, why's she here?

       " Oh, hello, Kenny?" my worst nightmare looks up at me. Like what I did to Rei? I think he makes a fine pray, don't you?"

       " Korea, what DID you do to Rei?!?" I shouted. She gave me one of her fake cutesy grins. 

       " We just had a little fun, Kenny, but sadly, now I have to leave," Carmen, who was now really Korea, said. Here's a present from me before I leave." Before I could stop her, Korea made a deep cut on my hand. I yelled and nearly dropped Dizzy.

        " Bye!" Korea said before she ran off. I leaned over Rei and shook him. He was in the absolute WORST condition I ever saw anyone to be when they were one of Korea's victims. I need to get him help. But, why do I suddenly feel so…drowsy.

      " What did she do…" I felt my legs give away and I collapsed, hearing footsteps down the hallway and a shout, but I couldn't get what they said before I slipped into darkness…

                                                             ***

~Rei's POV~(I use it a lot)

      I wake up when I heard a crash. I jumped up in surprise and saw I was in my room. On the bed, my leg bandaged and my cuts treated. At first I had a hard time getting where I was. Not again!

       Oh, right, I'm on another planet, being stuck in an orphanage, nearly killed by a crazy-minded girl with a knife. Yup, sound SO simple!

      I tried to get up, but the second I began to bend; my body began to ache like crazy. Ignoring the pain, I tried to spread my wings. It worked sure enough. Maybe I should try to circle around the room, I haven't been out in ages! Oh, right, I'm not on a WINGED planet any longer.

      I grabbed my clothes; they now were clean off the blood and dirt. Pulling them on, I did my hair and came out. Once I entered the main hall, I saw no one there. Mmm, strange. Suddenly, I heard screams of joy coming from the outside. Looking through the window, I saw the others were just hanging around in the sun.

      " Maybe I should join them," I said as I opened the door that lead outside and all eyes turned on me. I mean like REALLY all eyes. Even the birds on the trees seemed to have stopped singing just to stare at me. I felt like a circus attraction. Great, I thought, bring out the clowns!

       " Rei!" a familiar voice shouted to me and the playing began all over again. I looked to see Naia waving at me.

       " Hey, Naia," I said, yawning. What's been going on while I was asleep?" Tyson nearly jumped on me for some reason. Maybe he thought I was healthy enough to be a swinging pole. There goes my over exaggeration. Oh, well, better put up with it, Rei, you're stuck with yourself for life.

       " Rei, bud, are you feeling better!" Tyson squeezed me hard, making me feel like I was under a tank wheel.

       " Yes, Tyson, thanks," I was glad when he let go of me. I didn't think I could stand another person getting me nearly killed.

       " You took quiet a beating from Korea," Naia modified me. Korea? Who's that? The only person I remember is Carmen with me last time…oh, and Kenny. With Dizzy, if she counted as a person.

        " Who's Korea?" I asked dazed.

        " That little girl that you saw yesterday," Naia continued.

        " You mean the one that hurt me?" I didn't get her. Her name was Carmen, not Korea." Naia let out a long sigh. Wonders what seems so familiar and sarcastic to her.

        " Geez, that's just like Korea," a voice suddenly came from the side. I turned and came face to face with a pain of round glasses. Kenny! 

         " Kenny, hey, feeling better?" Tyson nearly jumped all over Kenny like he was about to me. Kenny stopped Tyson since he seemed to know what the guy was planning.

          " Yes, Tyson, much better, thank you," he said. I noticed his laptop under his arm. I wonder if he ALWAYS carries it around?

          " Hey, Rei, are you better?" Chief suddenly asked and I turned to him.

          " Yes, thanks Kenny," I said. Were you the one who saved me yesterday?" Kenny just shook his head 'no'.

         " No, I tried to first, but that girl got me with her knife also," he said. So Tyson ended up being the big hero!" Tyson smiled sheepishly.

          " Ahh, it was nothing," he said.  Just thank me later and I'm sure this could go well."

          " Yah, if by thanking you, you mean giving you his lunch, then you're wrong to get it," Naia laughed at him. My attention turned away from Tyson and suddenly caught on to some of those bey blade things spinning in what reminded me of a giant punch bowl. I know it was really an arena dish for those circular things, but it was painted red and gave off a wet type of look. I turned to the others, who were still arguing.

           " Naia, if you say Carmen was really that Korea, why did she change her name and why did she want to get me?"

           " Umm, well, you see…" Naia shifter uncomfortably. Korea's got mental issues. At least that's what everyone says. She liked to kill AND hurt people, but they don't first know it's her. She changes names and pretends to act innocent, but then she changes into a beast. She already actually killed a person! Her name was Katrina and she was new here when Korea got her. Yes, Korea has this thing for torturing new people." Well, that part I ALREDY experience-first handed.

           " Oh, yah, she also has a psycho brother who also lives in this orphanage," Tyson continue. He and Korea's room is the old lab." Old lab?

           " I'm sorry, but what do you mean an old lab?" I asked feeling dazed again.

           " Huh, oh right, we forgot to mention it," Kenny said, looking at me with slight surprise at first. This orphanage used to be the home of a rich scientist. He did all KINDS of experiments here." Rich?  So, that explains why the rooms were so nice. I knobbed in understanding.

           " So, now this guy and his sister come in and locked up in the lab. The brother never goes out and the sister only does to have fun in HER OWN way," Tyson said. Man, talk about having fun WAY off the charts!

            The bey blades in the dish once again caught my attention.

          " I see you're interested in bey blading," Tyson suddenly said.

          " It seems interesting," I mumbled.

          " Come on, Rei, we'll show you how to play," Naia tugged me to the bowl and the others followed…

~Normal POV~

           Many kids were standing around the arena. As the battle raged on, Rei, Tyson, Naia and Kenny waited from the next game. Suddenly, some bey blade ripped through all of the other blades and sent them packing out of the dish. Everyone stared in shock as the blade knocked out the last one except for itself.

           " Wow, whose blade is that?" Rei asked amazed. Naia shrugged. Kenny just opened Dizzy up and started typing in the data on that bey blade.

           " Well, I win," a voice came out through the crowd and some guy stepped up. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. And a smirk on his face.   

             " Ahh, Enrique again," Tyson said. Enrique, stop showing off so much!"

            " He's talking about showing off…" Naia sighted. Enrique turned to Tyson.

            " Hello, Tyson," he said. Watching my game victory, I suppose?" Tyson ran up to the dish faster than you could say "NO".

            " Prepare yourself, Enrique, cause you're about to feel the wrath of my dragoon," Tyson started to show off his bey blade.

            " Is that a challenge?" Enrique asked, crossing his arms.

            " You bet," Tyson replied, confident he'll win. Come on, let's do our talking in the arena!" Tyson loaded his shooter with his blade. They went up to the circular dish.

            " Ready, set, LET IT RIP!" Tyson swung his shooter down and the blade headed for the dish. Rei was watching with interest at how this would turn out to be…

~Rei's POV~

            Wow, I never have seen a game quiet like this before. The blades are going around, trying to knock each other out of the dish! Wait, why's Tyson's blade glowing green…

             It's HUGE! What is that creature?

           " Um, Kenny, what is that thing exactly," I asked the madly typing away Chief.

           " That's a bit beast, like Dizzy, only this one's in Tyson's blade," he replied.

           " Well, some are lucky," Dizzy's voice came from the screen. Hey, Rei!" There goes the talking computer…

           " Hey, Dizzy," I said, sitting down next to Kenny. How have you been."

           " Fine, thanks," the screen replied. Now, Kenny, Tyson seems to have the upper edge on the defense, but Enrique's bit beast exceeds him a bit on the offence, so Tyson's best bet is to play it cool and take a little beating before going for an attack." The computer knows how to play?

           " Umm, Chief, what's that other guy's bit beast?" I asked slowly.

           " Oh, his bit beast is Amphilyon," I wondered what an Amphilyon was, having a slight feeling I was about to find that out.

           " Go, Amphilyon," Enrique yelled and a red dragon rose up, only this one was BIGGER than Dragoon. I feel like I'm in a fiction story.

           " Storm ATTACK!!!" Tyson yelled so loud it nearly popped my eardrums. There was some wind in the dish and I was amazed at the just formed tornado.

           " Amphilyon, keep going!" Enrique yelled, but not NEARLY as loud as Tyson. There were some flashes in the tornado and to my even greatest surprise; BOTH blades flew out of the dish. Enrique's landed on the ground through the crowd and Tyson's flew behind the orphanage house. The storm cleared and there were a LOT of scratches on the dish, but both Tyson and Enrique seemed dazed to me.

           " I…tied?" Enrique sputtered out. I…don't believe it!" He picked up his blade.

           " Oh, man, why did my blade have to land behind the house," Tyson said. I decided to help him out.

            " I'll get it for you," I said as I hurried behind the house.

            " Thanks, Rei," I heard Tyson shout after me.

            " No problem," I finally ended the dialogue and started to walk slowly not to miss his dragoon blade. I saw it lying on the grass and picked it up.

            " Awesome," I said to myself as I looked over it, wishing I had one of my own. Suddenly, there was a dimly heard buzzing sound from above and I jumped and landed hard on the ground to see a bey blade come out of nowhere spinning next to me.

         I stared is shock, nearly dropping Dragoon as the blade inched closer and closer towards me, not slowing down a bit, glowing dangerously with every second…

What is this mysterious bey blade? Where did it come from? What'll happen to Rei? Find out in the next chapter.

Kerda: Phew, that was loonnngggg to write. Huh, Kai?

Kai: Hmph.

Kerda: Not the most talkative guy, is he? (*Points to Kai*) Where's Rei?

Max: He's caught up in the chapters, remember?

Kerda: Oh, right, I forgot. Anyway, thanks for reading. See you next time.
