Disclaimer: I only own Starr, my fic, and the bitbeasts that you don't recognize from the show.
Chapter 6: Chosen by the BitBeasts
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"That's right. About a year later, Starr got another bitbeast. I believe it's some type of bird. If want to know more about them, you better ask her. Remember, she doesn't let people watch her blade often or even record her stats. Also, it's rumored that she has other bitbeasts as well, now. The only person who knows for sure how many she has is her and she doesn't talk much about these things, as you may have noticed."
"But how is it possible to have more than one bitbeast?" Tyson wondered aloud.
Mr. Dickinson answered, "There have been records of people who have had more than one bitbeast, but it's very rare. I don't know very much about it, but they were known as those who were "chosen by the bitbeasts. Starr is the only known person who is "chosen by the bitbeasts" right now, and of course, no one really knows about it. Again, if you wanna know more about that, ask Starr. She used to spend a lot of time learning about these things."
"I wanted to know that too. But that's not what I meant. What I mean is how can more than one bitbeast be in one blade?"
"They aren't. She uses multiple blades. She can just pick any blade and bitbeast that she wants to use."
"Isn't that against the rules?" Kenny asked.
"You'd think so, wouldn't you? Actually, it's alright to use multiple beyblades, since once you become accustomed to a certain blade; it becomes harder to work other blades that become unfamiliar. It takes a lot of talent to be able to work other blades as successfully and as well as the one you're familiar with."
"That probably explains why she did so well with the other guy's blade, Kai." Rei said.
Kenny frowned. "Yeah….but didn't Kai say that the other guy's beyblade was practically totaled? That still doesn't make any sense."
"I don't know." Mr. Dickinson said. "You'll have to ask her yet again." He got up. "Come on boys; let's go back to the hotel." As they were about to leave, he added. "Do you boys promise not to tell anybody? This is for Starr's safety. I felt that I could trust you and I hope that I'm right."
"We promise." Max, Tyson said together.
"You can trust us, Mr. Dickinson!" chimed Kenny.
"Of course!" said Rei.
Everyone looked at Kai. "Yeah, sure. Whatever." He said in a bored voice, though really he was not.
"Good." With that, they headed back.
* * * * * * * * * *
Meanwhile, Starr had just woken up, feeling much more refreshed than before. She got up and stretched, yawning. "Where were the guys?" she wondered. "Are they back from lunch yet?" She checked the clock- 3:48. They should be back by now, though knowing Tyson, they might still be there, talking to the manager of the restaurant or something. She smiled, playing the scene in her head as she changed into a light blue sleeveless shirt and tan pants and then headed towards the elevator.
* * * * * * * * * *
While, that was going on, Mr. Dickinson and the Bladebreakers had just walked into the hotel. They sat down in the lobby in front of the fireplace and continued their chat.
"So, why is Starr really here?" Kenny asked Mr. Dickinson.
"I think I'd rather have her here when I answer that question."
"Have her here? You mean, she's gonna know that we know?"
"That's right, though I'm not too sure what her reaction is gonna be." Mr. Dickinson said rather nervously.
"That is definitely not good." Max said.
* * * * * * * * *
"Ding!" The elevator door opened and the copper-eyed girl walked out and started for the lobby. When she got near it, she paused. Wasn't that the Bladebreakers sitting over there with Mr. Dickinson? Yes, it was. She started to walk up to greet them then stopped, catching part of their conversation.
"Uh-oh, I wonder what's gonna happen when Starr finds out we know." Tyson was saying, a bit scared.
Starr's heart sank slightly. They knew. She processed the thought over in her head and realized that if Mr. Dickinson was the one who told the story, it wouldn't have been so bad. Still, she walked up behind them. "I don't know. What's gonna happen when I find out what?" she said making everyone flinch with surprise
"I guess your gonna find out your question." Max whispered to Tyson, who looked liked he just saw a ghost.
"Um, no-nothing. We were jus-." Mr. Dickinson was cut off by Starr
"It's ok, I know." She said, sighing.
"Wow, that went fairly well." Mr. Dickinson thought with relief.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT YOU WERE GONNA TELL THEM?????"
"Oops. I thought too soon."
"WHY???"
"I'm sorry Starr, calm down. I forgot to tell you. Um, why don't you guys go and talk or something. I, um, have this meeting I have to attend. Ok, bye!" He ran out of the door.
"….Okay." said Rei sweatdropping as Mr. Dickinson left.
"Come on, let's go to my room." Starr suggested after an awkward moment of silence.
"Ok." Tyson said, and they followed her to her room.
* * * * * * * *
"Sorry, it's kinda messy right now. I kinda unpacked everything. But make yourselves at home." she said as she turned on the light.
"Um, sure, thanks." Max said as he sat down.
"So," Starr said. "How much do you guys know?"
"Uh….a lot?" Tyson said.
"Which means?"
"We know about your bitbeasts." Kenny added.
"Oh," Starr sighed. "Then I guess you probably know everything."
Rei spoke up. "Hey, Starr?"
"Yes?"
"Mr. Dickinson wouldn't tell us this; why are you here?"
"I don't know how you're gonna react to this, but…."
"Yeah?" Tyson was curious now.
"….I'm here to help the team."
"What? What do you mean?" Kenny asked.
"Training. He wants me to help you guys with your training. I've got a lot of techniques that I've come up with over the years, and Mr. Dickinson wanted you to be the first ones to learn them."
"Wow!! That's cool!" Tyson said. "It'll be like we have another team member!"
"I don't know about that, Tyson. I won't exactly be blading or anything."
"Why not? We heard that you're good. Plus, Kenny doesn't blade and he's part of the team."
"Well….I guess so, if you guys don't mind."
"We don't mind." Tyson replied enthusiastically. "Do we?"
"Not at all!" Rei said.
Kai shrugged. "Fine with me."
Tyson's jaw dropped. "What did you say, Kai?"
"I said, that's fine with me. We need some decent bladers in the team anyways."
Tyson growled, "Why you…."
While Tyson was trying (A/N: emphasize on "trying") to hurt Kai, Starr leaned over to Rei and whispered "Am I supposed to be surprised, or happy, or something?
"I guess so." Rei answered back.
"Uh, ok"
Kenny squirmed on his seat uneasily. "Uh, Starr."
"Yeah?"
"Can we see your blades?"
"I'll show you two of 'em." she answered, walking towards a familiar light blue backpack and taking out two blades. One was light blue and the other was midnight blue.
"Wow! Dizzi's got to see this!!" Kenny opened up his laptop.
"Um….Dizzi? Who's Dizzi?" Starr asked, confused
"Oh yeah, sorry. Dizzara is my bitbeast. I call her Dizzi for short. She got trapped in my laptop. Long story."
"Uh, sure…ok." Starr said, not sure what to think.
"Hey Kenny," a female voice from the laptop said. "I thought that you had forgotten me. Hey, don't you have someone you've got to introduce me to?"
Starr jumped. "Whoa! That laptop just talked!"
"Yeah." Tyson said, as if all laptops talked on a daily basis. "That's the bitbeast."
"Dizzi, this is Starr. Starr, Dizzi."
"Pleased to meet you." the voice coming out of the laptop said.
"Um….hi."
"Well, what do we have to do today, Chief?"
"Starr is gonna show us a few bitbeasts."
"A few???"
"I'll explain later." Kenny replied.
Starr spoke up. "Actually, I'm only gonna show you one, at least for now." She held up the light blue blade. "I think Mr. Dickinson might have told you about this one."
Everyone moved in for a closer look. On top of the beyblade, there was a light yellow star, barely visible with age.
"Oh!" Max exclaimed. "This is the blade you had when you were a baby. Why doesn't it have a bitbeast?"
"Because I stopped using it after I was four." Starr exclaimed. "I realized that it could get damaged and I knew I wanted to keep it forever."
"Hey, can anyone fill a confused bitbeast in on the details here?"
"I said, I'll tell you later, Dizzi. Come on Starr, let's see the other blade."
Starr held it tightly. "Sure, but you have to promise me not to run any tests on it, ok?"
"I promise."
She held the dark blue beyblade out to them. Its edges were rimmed silver. And in the middle was….
"Is that the Silver Wolf that Kai was talking about?" Tyson blurted out.
Starr looked at Kai oddly. How did he know about her bit? "Yeah, this is Drayla, the Silver Wolf. She was my first bitbeast. We're pretty good buds, if you know what I mean."
"Yeah, we know what you mean." Rei said, thinking about Drigger.
"Well, Dizzi," Kenny asked, "do you know anything about Drayla?"
"Uh….let's see….here we go! Drayla's the female leader of the bitbeast wolf pack."
"Bitbeast wolf pack?"
"That's right. There are a couple of wolf bitbeasts. The male leader is Anemus, also known as the Thunder Wolf."
"That's so cool!"
Starr added. "Also, Drayla uses the power of the moon, nighttime, and also ice and snow."
"Sounds pretty powerful to me!" Tyson commented.
"So, Starr." Kai spoke up for the first time. "When are we gonna see your other bitbeasts?"
Starr smiled mischievously. "When I want to."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it!" Tyson offered, running for the door. "Uh, Hi Mr. Dickinson,"
"Hello Tyson. I just wanted to let you know that we're going to dinner in 30 minutes, so get ready."
"ALRIGHT!!! I was getting hungry, there!"
"Okay then, I guess we should be getting ready." Starr said, putting her blades away. The others nodded, getting to leave. "I'll see you guys later!"
"Bye!"
