Anime: And here we are for another instalment of The Next World Tournament.
Updates should be more constant now.
Anya: ...
Anime: Oh quit sulking!
Anya: I'll stick you in a tube one day...
Anime: Humph, go find your boyfriend. Oh, and guess what peeps! I have a new weapon at my disposal to protect me against a certain authoress's set of muses... - THE HENTAI STICK OF DOOM!!!!
Kai: It's only a cat's head with a glow in the dark face on a stick...
Anime: But it's proven effective so far, hasn't it...
Kai: *shrugs* Alloran's in detox, and I don't think I'll put it down to that.
Anime: Suit yourself. It's just Yama-sama we have to be wary of now...
___________________________________________________________
The All Stars all stared at the Bladebreakers, not sure whether to believe the group of boys. Finally, it was Emily who spoke up.
"So Boris Balkov is back, and he's the one kidnapping all these bladers?"
Kai nodded, confirming the information. "He's got Anna, Robert, the Demolition Boys, the Dark Ninjas and Anya and some girls who we think he had kidnapped beforehand. He's performing some experiments on them."
"With Anya in the forefront", Dizzi added.
Emily looked at Kenny. "Can I look at the files you downloaded?"
"Better yet, you can have a copy. I made a few just in case." Kenny said, pulling out a CD-ROM from his pocket and handing it over to the red-head. "I haven't read the whole report yet. Never had much time."
"I think I'll make up another copy from this one and send it to Douglas. He just might be interested in what you guys found."
"And I'll send one copy to Mr Dickinson. We need to inform the BBA as soon as."
"Agreed." Emily checked the time. "We'll have to go soon, guys. The plane for Vegas leaves in a few hours. I guess... we'll see you guys in the tournament then."
Max stood up. "So you guys are still entering? Even without Anna?"
"Play-wise, it's not too big a problem. We just lost a back-up..." Michael said. "But as for morale... well, Anna was our little cheerleader."
Steve nodded, keeping silent. Eddy looked at the Bladebreakers.
"So you guys aren't entering? We wouldn't want to get a hold on the Championship title that easily."
"Don't worry, we are." Kai said. "I have a feeling Boris will show up at the tournament, and I'm going to be there when he does. I'm not letting him mess with my life, or anyone else's, and let him get away with it."
The others nodded, showing their agreement. Exchanging goodbyes, the All Stars left. Kenny turned to the rest of the team. "I guess that means we should start our packing."
******
"Confirm that the jamming devices are set up."
"Up and running when you're ready, sir."
"Is my new army ready?"
"Yes, sir. They're ready and are awaiting your inspection."
The scientist brought Boris down the line of bladers, each one standing erect as though soldiers in an army and with blank, yet eerily evil stares in their eyes. Boris's smile grew wider with each one. The smile grew into a sneer when he cast his eyes over the professional bladers. The Knight and the Cheerleader; one who had escaped the clutches of the previous experimental mind hold. The Dark Ninjas; the team that had mutinied against their leader to gain more power. Their captain; who they capture not very long ago... The Demolition Boys... Boris's sneer became one of foul memories. They wouldn't disobey him again...
"And finally... my dear niece... If only your father could see you now..." he said with a chuckle. "My brother... what a fool..."
Anya simply stood and listened, her expression different from the rest. Her face broke into a ruthless sneer, as though agreeing with her uncle's comment of her own father. Boris looked to a nearby guard.
"Get the helicopter ready! It's time we made a trip to Las Vegas."
******
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! WELCOME TO THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS RIGHT HERE IN THE GLITTERDOME IN SHINY, HAPPENIN' LAS VEGAS!!!"
The crowds cheered, DJ Jazzman warming up the crowd.
"Happenin' is right up there, Jazzman! We're back in sunny Las Vegas, where the lights blind you and your money set your pants on fire!"
"Well, AJ, another year, another World Tournament! What do you think will be the outcome in this years finals!?"
"Beats me, Brad! After last years, tournament finals, I don't ever want to try and predict the outcome!"
"Too right, AJ! Let's hope nothing like that happens again!"
"Hi there, team!"
The Bladebreakers turned and smiled at their visitor. Roger grinned, his notepad and pen stuffed into his jacket pocket.
"Hey, Roger? Any new articles on us?"
"Well, there is one story I'm covering... An on-going project, in fact."
"I guess the Bladebreakers aren't rolling in the money then?" Tyson said, pretending to be hurt.
Roger grinned and sweat-dropped. "N-no! Nothing like that. This story is related to the Bladebreakers. That's why I'm here. I'm going to watch the tournament."
"Heh. Don't worry, Roger. We'll give you loads to write about for your article!"
Roger smiled and laughed before putting his hands in his pocket. "I just came to wish you guys luck. And sorry about Anya. See you guys later."
Roger left the room, shutting the door behind him. The Bladebreakers stood around Kenny, who now handed beyblades out to the team.
"Tyson, I inaugurated a new attack ring on your blade. It should increase the strength in your spin. Max, I managed to fit into your blade a new and heavier weight disk. It should make your blade more rock steady. Ray, your blade base needed a little boost, so I made it out of titanium. Stronger so that it won't take too much of a beating, but lighter, so your Tiger Claw attack should be more smooth."
"And we better get some credit when you guys wiped the floor with the All Stars."
Kai opened and cast his eyes over he team. "We'll be thrust straight into the Team Survival match, so listen up. The line up will be Max, Ray, Tyson and me. Got that?"
"Got it!"
A stage hand poked his head into the locker room. "Team Bladebreakers? You're on in five."
"Thanks!" Tyson called. He turned back to the team and grinned. "Well guys. I guess this is good luck, eh? Let's show those guys why we're the Champs! We're the Bladebreakers!!!"
Max, Ray and Kenny cheered with Tyson and filed out of the locker room. Kai hung around for a few seconds, thinking. Putting his hand in his pocket, he withdrew a chain and put it around his neck. He looked at his reflection in the mirror by the door. The white rose twinkled at him before he followed his team.
******
"All Stars? Five minutes."
"Thanks, dude." Michael said.
"Okay boys. I guess that's our cue to go." Emily commented, standing up. "Judy's sitting in the crowd. Her way of staying neutral in this match."
"Because of Max. Yeah, I dig." Eddy said. Standing, the basketball player opened the door to exit the locker room. "What the.!"
Eddy went flying across the room, crashing into Michael, who yelled. "Hey! What's the big idea!?"
All eyes landed on the figure at the door. It was the Demolition Boy Alexander. He stood in the doorway, arms folded and frowning. Emily walked closer.
"Who are you.? Wait... aren't you Boris's son?"
Wordlessly, he grabbed Emily's arm and twisted it behind the red-head's back. Emily yelled in shock and pain.
"Emily!?" Steve said, getting up to help Emily.
"Not another move!" Alexander shouted. "Get them!"
From the corridor behind Alexander, three dark figures ran in and grabbed the boys. Ark brought his hand down and knocked Michael out before he could say or do anything. Bark and Hark did the same.
"What the!?"
That was all Emily said before she crumpled to the floor, having been knocked out. Alexander looked to the ninjas. "Inform Boris that Phase One is complete."
******
"THIS YEAR ROUND, WILL THE BLADEBREAKERS HOLD THEIR TITLE AS WORLD CHAMPIONS AND WILL TYSON STILL BE THE NUMBER ONE BLADER, OR WILL THE ALL STARS STEAL THE TITLE FROM THE RED HOT BLADEBREAKERS!? LET'S FIND OUT! BRING OUT THE TEAMS!!!"
In the team tunnels, the Bladebreakers walked out, putting on a smile for the crowd, waving.
"GIVE IT YOUR ALL FOR RETURNING CHAMPS, KAI, TYSON, MAX AND REI OF THE BLADEBREAKERS!!!!"
"Our condolences for the Bladebreakers, whose team mate, Anya, disappeared some few days ago."
"And let's not forget the All Stars, who lost Anna and the Majestics, who lost Robert and for the missing Russian team, The Demolition Boys, who didn't seem to make it to America this year, Brad!"
"'course, how could I forget..."
"By having a memory built like a sieve..."
The crowd cheered and clapped, but a little more subdued than usual, out of respect. In the crowd, the remaining Majestics clapped as well. Behind them, the Dark Bladers and the White Tigers showed their appreciation.
"I feel sorry for them. Must be tough to lose a member like that..." Kathy said. "Poor Max..."
"You know, I never thought I'd miss that pompous git, but you get attached to a victim, even if they cast you to the dark side." Sanguinex commented.
"AND GIVE IT UP FOR MICHAEL, EMILY, EDDY AND STEVE OF THE ALLSTARS!!!"
The crowd cheered again. They waited and watched. And waited... and waited.... and watched.
"Er.... IF THERE ARE ANY ALL STARS IN THE HOUSE, THEN ANSWER THE CALL! YOUR MATCH IS ABOUT TO START!"
A figure walked out of the team tunnel. Spotlights instantly focused on them. Anna didn't flinch when the light shone. The stadium was quiet, unsure of what to make of the sudden appearance of the supposedly missing All Star. Anna solved that for them. She held up a microphone to her mouth and spoke loudly, clearly and with an edge.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF LAS VEGAS!!! I'M AFRAID THE ALL STARS ARE UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS YEAR'S TOURNAMENT DUE TO SOME... PHYSICAL INCAPABILITIES!"
"What!?" Tyson said, standing up from the team bench.
"IN THEIR PLACE, A NEW TEAM WILL BLADE THE BLADEBREAKERS!"
The sounds of a helicopter replaced Anna's voice. Tyson held onto his hat as a breeze from the blades threatened to blow it away. Everyone cast their eyes up to the roof, where the opening revealed the black, shiny helicopter. A length of rope was thrown down and the end coiled on the floor. Out of the aircraft, one after another, four people slid down, hanging onto the line.
Tala was the first to touch the ground. He stood aside to allow the other sliders room to land. His eyes were harder somehow to the Bladebreakers, and he held about him the old attitude he had whilst he was under BIOVOLT's command the previous year.
After him, Robert hit the ground. He too had the same air about him that Tala had. He walked to the red head's side and frowned at the Bladebreakers. Mark joined them. He was back in his ninja uniform, his face covered. The last person to land caused the Bladebreakers', particularly Kai, to catch their breath in their throats. Anya stood to full height, her expression one of pure hatred.
"MAY WE PRESENT MARK, ROBERT, TALA AND ANYA BALKOV OF TEAM PROJECT MINDSET."
The crowd murmured amongst themselves, panic and confusion slowing building.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Do not fret. You're only trapped in the Glitter Dome after all....."
Boris walked out onto a balcony, sneering down at the audience. There was slight pandemonium in the stadium now; people were shocked to see the escaped criminal of BIOVOLT again. Kai growled and clenched his fists, glaring at Boris.
"HEY! GET OFF ME!? WHAT THE!?"
The Jazzman struggled as he was dragged off his announcing podium by two other bladers; girls who were kidnapped before the big league bladers. More bladers, most of them kidnapped girls, but a few boys, Demolition Boys included, lined the stadium, blocking the doors and exits. Boris caught everyone's attention again.
"I'm sure you all don't need much explaining on why I'm here. As you can see, I have a team of beybladers who will fight in my name and in the name of BIOVOLT."
"Is he allowed to do that?"
"Not in the rulebook and in the eyes of the law, Brad! This dude is.... whoa!!!!"
A new voice came over the intercom for a moment, talking mostly to AJ Topper and Brad Best. "You will only commentate on the match. You will not make any comments of insubordination towards Boris or BIOVOLT."
"Er...."
"This guy is serious!"
Boris smiled, listening, before speaking again.
"All attempts to contact the outside will be futile. Guards are stationed at all exits and there are jamming devices surrounding the building so radio and television signals will not be transmitted. I'm sure this will ensure no unpleasant arrivals by the BBA."
The Bladebreakers were all standing now, and facing the opposite team. Kai walked forward, looking at each of the bladers in turn. His eyes ended on Anya, who stared back coldly. Kai's hand went up and clutched the white rose around his neck.
"Well... why don't we begin the tournament?" Boris said, smiling.
