A/N: Chapter one! Well, I'm starting to catch on to this now, at least, which is good. ^^ Expect at least one chapter per week from now on. The school computer lab has reopened, so I'm not restricted anymore. Whee! By the way, I'm trying to stick as close to real life as possible, so don't expect any special effects.

Rebirth of the Blade Breakers: chapter one
Rei returns
"Well, well, if it isn't mister Dragoon..." A boy, a few years older than Ken, stepped out of the alley and faced them, blocking their way.
"Chris, I believe this is not the right time for us to be facing off..." With that Ken glanced at the small audience that had gathered. Whenever Chris challenged someone, there would always be spectators around.
Chris waved his hand nonchalantly. "I don't give a damn about school..."
"...Chris, this is seriously not the right time." Ken's voice took on a sense of urgency as he saw the headmaster's car drive by them.
"What're you, chicken?! It's only the headmaster!" Chris taunted. "You've never backed down from a challenge before. Didja become scared of me overnight?" He said, causing the crowd to snicker.
Ken gritted his teeth furiously, ignoring his friend's attempts to calm him down. Whipping his Beyblade out in a swift motion, he slid into battle stance. "If it's a battle you want, it's a battle you'll get." His voice took on an edge of steel. "Bring it on bastard."
Chris, seeing how incensed Ken got just by that one remark, smirked victoriously, taking out his own Beyblade and getting ready.
'Oh no, I have a bad feeling about this...' Kuro thought to himself.
"3,2,1... Go shoot!"
Two Beyblades, whirred onto the pavement, clashing loudly. Chris seemed to have the edge in this particular battle, his Beyblade picking up speed and power as soon it was launched, attacking relentlessly.
Ken's Beyblade slowed down gradually, having received countless heavy attacks from Chris' Beyblade. 'Hold on a minute... heavy?' He squinted, trying to look closer. Then the realization dawned on him. 'He.. he's using double weight disks!'
"Chris! Call back your Beyblade! You're fighting against the rules! Stop it now!" Ken yelled angrily, almost running into the area where the two Beyblades were taking it all out.
Chris merely snorted in acknowledgement, and waved his hand, uninterested. "Hey, I didn't force you into this battle. And, may I say, you only accepted this challenge for the sake of your reputation?" At that remark, Ken backed down a step. "You charged into this headfirst, I'm not taking responsibility for your actions."
Ken gritted his teeth in anger. He could only watch as his Beyblade get shattered to pieces. He hung his head in defeat.
Suddenly, a flash of gray came before them, a slight crashing sound was heard, before Ken's Beyblade flew into his hands, as was Chris'. In the center of the battle area was a lone Beyblade, it was still spinning strongly despite the fact that it had just stopped a match.
"Driger! It's Driger!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Ken and Chris averted their attention in the direction where the Beyblade spun from, above them. Standing with his back to the sun, a cloaked figure appeared at the top of the building. "Learn to play by the rules. That's the first thing a Beyblader should know." With that, the figure leapt off the building, landing squarely beside the still spinning Beyblade. "That's enough for now..." He muttered and held his hand above it for a brief second, after which it stopped spinning.
Ken's eyes widened in pure awe. That person had just stopped his Beyblade with a mere command, and a wave of his hand.
"Damn you, who the hell do you think you are, stopping a match like that!" Chris retorted angrily. The figure lifted his hand, and calmly lifted the hood which covered his head.
"Who do you think you are?" Rei answered quietly.
"R... R... Rei!" Chris stammered in utter amazement, backing away.
"Rei... is it really?"
Rei bowed slightly, acknowledging him, after which he simply walked off, leaving everyone with the sight of his slowly fading shadow...
