Keira: i do not own beyblade(honestly.. if i did, do u think i would b sitting here writing?) -Lone chapter to make up for the last couple short ones! hope u like!-

Chapter 11: I Wanna be...

I started to skip school to practice. Someone had informed Dan of this and he stormed into the room i was training in.

"What do you think your doing?" Dan asked.

"Training." I said. Since the Beyblade tournament was tomorrow i had decided to enter. I could use a test run with Black Dranzer, and a real opponent would help me get way better. The tournament wouldnt tip Dan of Ty of Lyl off to who i really was, cause i could just dissapear again after. Tyson and Max were supposed to be there so there might actually be some sort of a challenge.

"Dont let me catch you again, or you outta here." Dan said threatening me.

"Dont worry, next time ill lock the door so you cant get in." I said dryly. I left the room only to go around the back to see if the window was locked. I went through the kitchen like area and a headline caught my eye. It was an article about The Challenge. The Bladebreakers and Demolition Boys had been entered by special invititation. There were some other teams, a basketball one, a tennis one, a baseball one, and a football one. I did a double take, aparently the All-Starz hadnt quite qualified as Beybladers to get in. I went back to the Bladebreakers part, Since it was a team of four Kenny, Max, Rei and Tyson were going. There was another team i had never heard of before called the Saint Shields. They sounded too good hearted to be of any challenge as a team. There was also a Team Psychic. They had won the american tournament for their spot in the competition.

That night i had a nightmare, I was in the woods somewhere, and i felt a pain in my back and i started falling yet there was nothing i could do to stop myself from falling. I woke up and realised it was tournament day. I went and woke up Ty, probably the biggest day of his life and he was still sleeping. I opted to get my beyblade and see what i could do to it. It badly needed a new attack ring. I placed Dranzer in a safe place where someone wouldnt end up uding his blade by mistake. I rummaged through the pieces of parts that Ty had. There was no full attack rings, so i did my best to recreate the blade from the abbey. I finished it by painting it black. I looked at Ty's which was sitting next to the pile. It looked like he has put attack ype parts onit, aparents he didnt hear what i said about Beree being a defense type. I took it apart and put defense parts on, they werent great but would have to last today, till I could send it to Kenny. I went to head off to the stadium when i saw Ty by the door.

"Lets go." He said, I passed his beyblade to him.

"You might need this." I said. He looked at it but didnt ask any questions. So we got Lyl and took the bus. When we got there Ty wanted me to go with him but i lied and said that only competitors were allowed in the back. After Ty left i filled out a registration form and got stuck on name. I put down Kai, writing shakily, scared of my own name. I found some face paint and went to wait out the start of the tournament. I saw Ty go over and walk up to Tyson. His eyes nearly left his head he was so star struck. Tyson seemed absolutely thrilled to have a fan. Max must have been around here somewhere. I found him a back corner, no one would have though to look in but me.

"Shouldnt you be out there getting ready for your first match?" I asked. It was dark so he couldnt see me, but i would bet he recognized my voice. It was like i had stepped into another world, stranger to me now. Captain of a World Championship team, not trainer of some wanna-be's. But, i thought to myself, it was a wanna-be like Tyson that made it to the World Championships.

"I lost it." Max said sullenly.

"Lost what?" I asked.

"My touch, I lost another battle again, to some girl." Max said. The way he said girl sent shivers down my spine. Sorrai came to my mind but she been boxing the last couple days. "That girl from the Saint Shields." he continued.



"If they are in this tournament they better they are not matched with me then." I said.

"Kai?" Max said, leaving my name to float through the corridor we were in. I stayed silent. "I know your still there. Watch out for this other team, they call themselves Team Psycic. They have alot of money behind them and the technology to take Dranzer." Too late i thought, my blood boiling. Then it snapped into place. When Dranzer had left me, he msut not have made it back to where he came from, in Russia. He had been captured, without a fair fight. My nightmare, was when Dranzer was taken. Now i was thoroughly mad. Max went running back to Tyson. Probably to tell him about me. I went and stood in a corner with my back to everyone.

"Hey someone poked me in the back." I turned to look Rei in the eyes. He just as shocked to see me as i was him. But then it was time for my block. I all but ran to the dish. Then watched my opponents walk up. One was dressed freakily, Purple and a red thing over his eye, and arm. The other one of signifcance was a big guy. Like Steve oif the All-Starz. Jazzman came out to start us off.

"On behalf of the sponsors i would like to welcome you to todays tournament. Max and Tyson are here as you can see now lets kick this first match off 3-2-1 Let It Rip!" Jazzman yelled. I launched quickly eliminating some of my opnents without calling on Black Dranzer. Thankfully Tyson or Max wasnt in my block. That left the big guy and the pruplr shirt.

"Cyber Dragoon!" Purple shirt called. An enormous Dragoon appeared.

"Voltic Ape!" The big guy responded, but i didnt see a bit beast.

"Kai!" someone behind me yelled, most likely Tyson. "You can do it." He yelled. Iput my hand out to stop him from interfering in the match. "But its not fair! Dranzer cant take that!" He informed me. I looked back at the battle. The other two were going at it and didnt seem to have noticed that i had withdrew my blade ot await the outcome. Then someones blade left the dish, whose i did not know because Dragoon turned to me.

"Pathetic bit beast less person." I stared back, not believing that was the best insult that Purplr Shirt could come up with. Cyber Dragoon came to get Black Dranzer.

"Evasion Arrow." I said and Black Dranzer moved out of the way with no time to spare. Cyber Dragoon started a hurricane. "Neutralise" I commanded and the hurrican stopped.Even if it took a little while.

"Uhh... guys... thats not Dranzer..." Kenny said.

"Black Dranzer! Black Sabre Attack!" Right before he attacked, though there was a humgungous shockwave and Cyber Dragoon got bigger. "Wait!" I yelled, and Black Dranzer pulled back just in time.

"Its.. it cant be.. and he has complete control of it... this tournament is getting weirder by the minute.." I turned around and smirked at Tyson, he slumped down in his chair not believeing what was going on.

"Driger! Tiger Claw Attack!!" No one said anything about it, so Rei must have been in the same block as me, I wondered how i could have missed it.

"Oh great, now i have seen everything" Tyson moaned.

"No Rei! Driger is no match at this point!" Kenny yelled out.

"But its not just me." Rei said smiling at me. "Just like od times huh Pal?"

"Lets do it." I replied, and willed Black Danzer to start a diversion attack and take the Cyber bit beasts attention off of Driger till Rei got his bearings. He did and we started a double attack. The Cyber bit beast wore down and was out of the match. "You take it." I said.

"No, it has to be a fair fight." Rei answered.

"In a fair fight, i would cream you and you know it, besides i gotta be somewhere else." I grabbed Black Draner, forfeiting the match and whole tournament. I headed off in the direction of where the little camera came from.

"Kai! NO!" Tyson shouted as if i was a dog at his commant.

"Let him go Tyson, he will come when he is ready." Rei held Tyson back from following me.
