Toraneko A/N: Ah, finally, one by me. On a side note, some info about the matches. Shin and myself beyblade, and together with our other teammate, we occasionally have tag-team matches during tournament practices with other teams. (As I said before, I'm trying to relate this as close to real life as possible.) It's fun, do try it! *sighs wistfully* Haven't been in a tourney in ages...

How it works: Applicable for teams only. Teams choose a starter and the order in which the other members launch. Once the opposing team's beyblade is knocked out of the beystadium or stops spinning, the next member takes over. This continues until one beyblade is left in the beystadium. If the match ends in a tie, sudden death is played until one team wins.

Shinichyan A/N: *Bops Toraneko on the head* Enough... Now you've hogged all the bloody A/N time we've got... -.- ONTO THE STORY!!!!~

Note: No matter what beast name you hear, please note that most of the beyblades are combined unless stated otherwise.

R&R please!

Rebirth of the Blade Breakers: chapter six

Strengthened resolve

To the surprise of the crowd and her teammates (and horror of their opponents), the first attack by Minou's beyblade knocked the opponent out of the stadium in one clean shot. Mark moved in to launch his own beyblade into the stadium as Minou pumped her hands in the air in victory.

Mark timed his launch well; he knew that if he delayed a little he could strike easier at the girl's beyblade, and aimed directly at one spot, waiting for the precise moment when Minou's beyblade moved directly under his launch spot.

His efforts were in vain, however, as the impact only caused the girl's beyblade to move faster to counteract with his own beyblade. The Driger-controlled beyblade circled round the newly arrived beyblade, as if stalking it, waiting for the exact moment to deliver a deadly blow.

Driger lived up to its name of "bloodthirsty" as it dodged Mark's planned attack sequence and relentlessly went for the base of his beyblade; it's major weak point. Mark used a Gaia Dragoon base; it was well-known for its attack powers, and, unfortunately, attack powers only. It had only one star under its defense and endurance statistics, making it easily vulnerable to direct attacks.

Finally, Mark's beyblade stopped spinning. Cursing as he hurriedly scooped it up, the last member of the team, Chris, stepped in to replace Mark. He was confident he would bring down the girl now. //But there are still her other teammates... and I'm only one person... there's no way we'll win, even if I defeat the girl now.//

Not wanting to waste time, Chris launched his Seaborg-controlled beyblade, again hitting the Driger out and sending it crashing against the tree.

Now, it was Yume's turn to enter the fight. Quickly calculating the necessary force needed to lauch her beyblade for the proper attack, she released it, sending her beyblade slamming against Chris' own. However, the boy's beyblade refused to give up, just like its owner and started in a non-stop chain of relentless attacks.

Unfazed by all this, Yume closed her eyes and concentrated for a while. "Go now Draciel," She said. Her eyes, once she opened them, held a dangerous look, promising defeat and humiliation to any opponent who dared to face off with the fearsome leader of the BlacKatz.

"Show them the power of the leader of the BlacKatz... Show them that we're not to be underestimated, regardless of gender..."

Obeying her command, the girl's beyblade made a sudden move, too fast to be seen by the untrained eye. But for Chris, Mark, Sol, Kuro and Ken, they saw the swift, fast movement made by the beyblade, which held them all stunned, shocked to even mutter "Oh my gosh..."

Picking up her beyblade, Yuuki threw a smirk at Chris' direction, a smug look on her face.

"So. What do you think of girls now?" She asked.

"Just say it Chris..." Yume continued. "Girls CAN blade and some just can blade better than some stuck up guys who have their noses in the air 24/7."

If looks could kill, the three girls would be lying in their graves at that moment.

"Hn! We just went easy on you three since the three of you are girls... But this isn't the last Hiwatari!!" On that note, he stalked off, Mark and Sol rushing to stop him from possible destruction.

When the shadows of the three disappeared around the corner, Minou started yelling, and jumping up and down. "What did I tell ya? What did I tell ya?! Ha! HA! HOW'S THAT?!" She thrust Driger in Yume's face, grinning from ear to ear.

Yume waved her hand in an uninterested manner. "It was only two matches. Big deal."

"OH YEAH!? WHO was the one who said I couldn't beat 'em all by myself? HMM?"

Yume glared at the girl. "Oh really? If I remember correctly, didn't Chris kick your pathatic little ass almost immediately after he went in?"

"That's not the point! You're just jealous you didn't get a chance!" She stuck out her tongue.

"Shut up before I issue you bodily harm you little twerp..."

Minou instantly quietened down, pouting and obviously disappointed that her teammate did not appreciate the victory. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to face Yuuki. "Don't worry about it. You did great." Minou grinned back. "Tell me something I don't know."

At the side, Ken gawked. He didn't believe his eyes. A girl, Yuuki nonetheless, had just defeated Chris! And the trio's abilities were probably of the same range. If he couldn't even get past Chris, it just showed how far the gap their abilites were. His eyes narrowed in anger, anger at himself and his abilities, anger at his own lack of discipline.

//I swear... I'll train harder than anyone else and become the best!// He thought as he gripped his beyblade tightly.

//I swear! I'll become as good... No wait! Better than any of the Blade Breakers were!// He looked at the broken Dragoon beyblade in his palm.

"I promise Dragoon... We'll be the best! You and I! Together!"
