Chapter 5: Off to the Tournament
It was the next day and all the Bladebreakers woke up early to get ready for the tournament.
The Bladebreakers, Mr. Granger and Mr. Dickinson all got on the BBA bus that would take them to the stadium. Once they arrived they were greeted by are large group of fans all cheering for the Bladebreakers.
"Whoa what's this!" asked Tyson when he saw the size of the crowd.
" Uh I'm not sure," said a shocked looking Max
"Listen to them there cheering us on" explained Kenny as they all piled out the bus and stood facing their fans.
"All that cheering is for us," questioned Tyson
"Yeah they're members of the Bladebreakers fan club," added Kenny
"GO BLADEBREAKERS" "YEAH YOU GUYS RULE"
"Wow they came from all over the world just to see us," said Ray
"No way, well lets not disappoint them, hear I come!" yelled Tyson running forward, but stopped when he hear Max call his name.
"Alright where the Bladebreakers, were number one!" yelled Tyson as he punches the air with his fist and jumps up and down.
As they all entered the stadium Brad Best called out "Welcome to the BioVolt stadium in the heart of down town Moscow, the count down has begun for the final round of the world championships"
"Well boys were about to make history, you head for the lockers and I'll go register the team," said Mr. Dickinson as he and Mr. Granger walked off in the opposite direction leaving the five boys.
"We'll see you there" Kenny called out to Mr. D
"Were number one, the Bladebreakers rule!" Tyson continued to shout still facing out side where the fans were.
"This fan club is going to your head," stated Kenny
"They just can't get enough of us," Tyson told his teammates as he ran to catch up with them.
"Hahaha were so glad you could make it, to your final defeat" said a cold voice coming from the side, the Bladebreakers all looked to see Boris standing with the Demolition Boys.
"Oh yeah" Tyson challenged
"No don't Tyson, save it for later" Ray told the navy haired blader
"They're afraid," mocked Tala
"Afraid" Tyson said through clenched teeth
"Patience Tala, they are nothing more than insects to BioVolt, an insect we will soon squash in the finals, they are beneath your contempt" explained Boris
"Yes right sir" responded Tala
"Once they are defeated the world will bow before us" said Boris as he turned to walk away
"Boris, you think you've already won, don't you, well you haven't you still have to go through us and we won't let you win, we'll defeat you no matter how powerful you are, do you hear me, will never give up"
Boris only continued to laugh as he led the Demolition Boys away.
Something then caught Kai's attention and he looked up "Oh"
"What Kai" asked Max when he realized Kai was looking up at the second floor balcony that over looked the first floor.
"Up there" he said still staring at the person that looked down upon him.
"Who's that?" asked Max. Tyson, Ray and Kenny who also looked up at the man.
"My Grandfather…Voltaire" Kai said in a harsh cold voice
"Grandfather?" repeated Tyson
"That's Voltaire," asked Ray
"The man behind BioVolt" Kenny added
"The man who made his own grandson a tool for his ambition" Kai said in disgust 'to think I once loved you' Kai thought to himself as he then turned and followed the others to the locker rooms.
In the locker rooms, Max sat on one of the benches, Kenny had Dizzi set up on the table, Kai was leaning against the wall in his usual stance, that is eyes closed arms folded, while Tyson and Ray were both standing.
"The Demolition Boys, I'm worried they're a complete mystery to us, only Kai really knows their power," said a worried Ray
"Hey what are you worrying about Ray where a team, hey those guys don't even stand a stance, we Bladebreakers rule, now the sooner we decide our beybattle order the sooner we win" explained a hyped up Tyson
"Oh man," said Ray looking a Tyson weirdly
"That fan club really pumped him up" Max cheerfully said
"Alright, I'll go first ok," asked Tyson
"NO" Kai spoke for the first time since they entered the locker rooms "Let me battle first" he added
"I suggest you listen to Kai Tyson he knows the Demolition Boys better than anyone" spoke up Dizzi
"Dizzi's right Kai's our best chance for an early victory and then we can study their moves, that will give you guys time to prepare yourselves," Kenny explained
"Kai you're more quite than usual today is it because of your Grandfather" asked Tyson
"Hmhp you shouldn't worry about me" said Kai as he got up and walked over to his teammates.
"Right then Kai will be the first to battle," said an excited Tyson
"I'll go after Kai then Tyson ok," said Ray
"OK" yelled Tyson
"Then were ready to roll" Max said as he got up to stand with the others
"Ready, I sure hope so, I have a feeling this won't be and easy match" said Kenny also getting up
"After everything we've been through it comes down to this, LET IT RIP," yelled Tyson as he once again jumped up and punched the air with his fist.
Inside the stadium DJ Jazzman called out "Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages, welcome this is the moment you've all been waiting for the final game of the world championships, and who will be victorious the Bladebreakers or the Demolition Boys, every day one game of 3 sets will be played by a member from each team the beyblader who wins 2 out of 3 sets takes that game and the team that wins 2 out of 3 games captures the world championship!"
In the stands the All-Starz, White Tigers and the Majestics are watching.
"This should be good," said Enrique from where he sat between Robert and Oliver.
"Yes they're very well matched," said Robert
DJ Jazzman: "And time for the first match, Kai of the Bladebreakers vs. Spencer of the Demolition Boys, only one of them will emerge victorious!"
Kai and Spencer stepped up to the dish,
DJ Jazzman: "Beyblades prepare yourselves"
Kai and Spencer hooked up their blades and ready themselves.
Brad Best: "Hello Brad Best and AJ Topper here, bringing you the action as we unveil the challenging Black Sea Bowl".
AJ Topper: "Oh man Brad this is one extreme dish, players have to stay around the edges when going through the streets of the fishing village along the rim or they'll end up in the drink, the harbor is totally bottomless and no one knows for sure what's under those waves, this bowl calls for maximum control, one wrong move and you're lost at sea".
The dish rose up out of the floor to reveal that the dish was filled with water, and round the edge was a road with many buildings.
"Lucky me I get to be the one to teach the traitor a lesson and then take his bit beast from him" said Spencer with a laugh
Brad: "Spencer may have trained in Kai's shadow but his bit beast Seaborg is as powerful as they come".
"I wasn't interested in being a puppet of BioVolt" explain Kai
AJ Topper: "Were glad to see Kai back with the Bladebreakers, but without Black Dranzer he'll need a life preserve to win this one".
"Hmhp, but you clearly are" added Kai.
DJ Jazzman: "3…2…1…LET IT RIP!"
Dranzer and Seaborg flew into the dish and started racing around the outer edge of the dish.
Brad Best: "Well are competitors are wasting no time, just look at those beyblades burning up the streets talk about road rage".
Dranzer and Seaborg charged at one another, which sent sparks flying off in every direction, Kai's dark blue blade continually pushing back Spencer's.
"Spencer's bit beast is a natural water spirit Tyson" Max said to Tyson who was standing next to him.
"Kai keep him away from the water" Tyson called.
"Hold him Dranzer" Kai yelled to his fiery bit beast
Both blades clashed again, with neither letting up,
AJ Topper: "It's an awesome dust up, but Dranzer's totally in control, Seaborg can't move,"
Kai's dark blade spun wildly as it pushed the light colour beyblade into one of the buildings, Seaborg was then sent flying into the air.
AJ Topper: "WOW, smack down slam, Dranzer's ground out and Seaborg's taking a swan dive right into the sea".
Spencer's blade landed with a splash in the center of the water.
"Alright Kai!" Tyson called out
Brad Best: "Kai's still spinning and Spencer's gone a man over board is the first round over already".
'Something's wrong' Kai though in his head.
In the center of the ocean a small whirlpool was starting to form, the water swaying about in the dish.
"What's this" Kai called out in surprise.
AJ Topper: "Uh oh looks like this is just a calm before the storm, check out the whirlpool forming where Seaborg fell into the sea".
Large waves started splashing around throwing water everywhere then within seconds a large tsunami went after Dranzer.
Brad Best: "Kai's in for some rough weather, I sure hope he knows how to surf, because Spencer's tsunami is catching up fast".
The fierce waves were crashing all round, Dranzer only barely managed to get out the way, and jumping into the air dodged the raging water once more, but down in the center of the dish Spencer's blue blade was starting the glow bright yellow as Seaborg made his entrance.
"What?" yelled Kai,
"He's calling Seaborg" Tyson yelled.
"You can't escape my Voda Impact" Spencer called across to Kai. Suddenly a huge wave erupted sending the water in the dish everywhere.
"Dranzer!" Kai yelled.
"Seaborg is an ancient whale with control over the 7 seas, and BioVolt has upgraded his power a thousand full," Spencer explained
Suddenly a huge whale came from Spencer's blade, the whale had Armour on his head, down his back, on his flippers and a small amount at the base of the tail, with a high call Seaborg lunged forwards, ready to attack
"Now I will burry you at sea" yelled Spencer as Seaborg went in for the attack.
The darker blue blade once again jumped from one small boat to the next, narrowly dodging the whale's fierce attack.
Brad Best: "Dranzer is skipping from boat to boat but how long can she avoid Seaborg's wall of water".
Waves came crashing down, each one aiming for Kai's beyblade, but with skill and perfect maneuvering his blade managed to easily dodge the attack by once again jumping to another boat.
DJ Jazzman: "It's been an amazing battle can Dranzer survive Spencer's tsunami".
"Attack Seaborg!"
Dodging the large whale again Dranzer flew up into the air.
"Hmm he's concentrating on his attack, his defense is vulnerable" said Kai with a smirk.
"Yeah do it Kai," cheered Tyson
"Ok Dranzer, Flame Sabre!"
Kai's dark blue beyblade suddenly turned a fiery red as the scorching hot flames lapped at the sides of Kai's beyblade.
AJ Topper: "Alright Dranzer's on the attack with her Flame Sabre, oh man, Seaborg's playing fireman by putting out Dranzer's flame with water from his blowhole".
Descending upon the light blade the once burning fire was quickly put out as water was sprayed from Seaborg's blowhole
"Dranzer" Kai yelled to his bit beast, unable to believe that he might lose.
"This is not good" Ray said also standing up with Max and Tyson.
"Oh no" Tyson yelled
"Better call out the coast guard guys," said Dizzi from where she sat on Kenny's lap.
Spencer suddenly broke out into evil laughter, the thought of defeating Kai pleasing him greatly.
Brad Best: "Wow Seaborg is really making waves".
Going in for the final attack, Seaborg lunges out at Kai's blade with immense power. Spencer's lighter blue blade landed smoothly back on the ground, but for Kai the same could not be said.
Brad Best: "Over whelming Dranzer to win the first set, the Demolition Boys take an early lead".
Kai looked down upon his blade, which lay lifeless on one of the boats. He was shocked at his lose.
"The great Kai beaten and it was easy, hahaha" Spencer said mockingly, the blond Russian turned and walked back to the benches where the other Demolition Boys sat along with Boris.
"Sir I won" Spencer said as he looked down to see Boris holding a stopwatch.
"Yes but you took far, far too long, you will finish the next battle in half the time" Boris responded.
"Yes sir!"
DJ Jazzman: "The second set begins in 30 minutes, players may now adjust their beyblades".
"I can't believe Kai's losing," said Olive to the other Majestics.
"That sea stadium is defiantly an unfair advantage, for a bit beast that's a whale" explained Johnny.
"This is a BioVolt stadium everything's to their advantage," continued Olive.
"Yeah what do they know about honor" Enrique joined the conversation.
"Doesn't matter, Spencer's sacred spirit is very powerful, you saw the immense wave Seaborg raised up, it was more than just water" explained Robert.
"What!" Enrique, Oliver and Johnny said in union.
"It was infused with Seaborg's spirit, there was no other way mere water could resist the Flame Sabre" Robert continued.
"Then they've discovered Dranzer's weakness," said Johnny.
"Seaborg already knows it, he is one of the oldest sacred spirits" Robert said.
"We'll then there's nothing Kai can do" Enrique announced.
Back down at the dish Kai walked back to the benches, with his head hung long,
"Kai!" Tyson called to Kai who walked right past the benches and was heading down the hall.
"Just leave me alone, I need some time to think" was all Kai said before he continued down the corridor.
"But" Tyson was about to say something else what decided against it.
Kai stop half way down the corridor and punch the wall,
"Grr, why, why" he said to himself out loud.
"I've never been beaten so badly, Dranzer tried her best, but Seaborg's far too strong for her, he's the oldest bit beast I've ever seen, what possible strategy can I use against a bit beast that powerful"
Kai suddenly heard footsteps approaching him.
"Grandfather?" Kai said as he looked up to see an old man with long gray hair.
"Well hello Kai, you don't look very happy to see you own grandfather" greeted Voltaire.
"What do you want, have you come to gloat over your victory?"
"On the contrary, I've come to help you Kai"
"You want to help me, hahaha" Kai could only laugh at his grandfather, never had he offered help.
"Why do you laugh" Voltaire asked his grandson.
"Cause it's a joke, you put me in an abbey years ago, you raised me to be a weapon not a grandson, and now you're helping me" Kai explained
"This is my gift to you" Voltaire said as he pulled something out his coat pocket, it was Black Dranzer's bit chip, he then continued "Fighting together you can not lose"
"Oh, Black Dranzer" Kai was in awe at seeing the dark Phoenix once again.
"Before you destroyed BioVolt we updated this bit with our latest technology, once you and Black Dranzer are reunited you will be all powerful, the championship will be yours, you but need to say the word Kai and it's yours, grandson," explained Voltaire
"I gave up Black Dranzer, I will never use it again" Kai told his Grandfather
"But you can still feel its power, you know you could quite easily defeat Seaborg with this" said Voltaire.
"Yes maybe, but why here? Why now?" asked Kai
"Because you are the only one strong enough to control Black Dranzer Kai, and because your desire for power is as great as mine, after all we share the same blood" said Voltaire, he then continued with "Of course you must betray the Bladebreakers for me, you will give me their bit beast in exchange for the most powerful bit beast of all"
"I don't know about this Tyson maybe we should leave Kai alone"
"I can't leave him alone, Kai needs our help Kenny"
Just then Kai turned around the corner,
"Kai, oh" Tyson wasn't to sure but he had a feeling something was wrong, Tyson turned his head to look behind Kai and saw Voltaire smirking at him,
"Voltaire" Tyson said through clenched teeth, Kai just walked away back to the stadium " Kai what's wrong, wait, Kai" Tyson and Kenny ran after their slate haired friend.
