Chapter 7: How to become an excellent Beyblader

"RRRRRRRAAAAAAAYYYYYY!" Takara pounced on the long black haired boy, and attached herself to his arm.

"AAAAH!!" Ray cried in surprise. "GET! IT! OFF!" he began to swing his arm around to get the girl that suddenly attacked him out of no where.

"TAKARA!" Mr. Dickenson yelped. "Calm down!" Takara let go. "This is Takara, Ray… she's the girl BioVolt after."

"Of really?" Ray voice was a little squeaky from the surprise. He held out a hand for Takara to shake, but instead, she latched herself around Ray's chest. "Uh… Hello? Nice to meet you…"

"Ray…" she smiled. 'I finally get to meet him!' she thought. 'He's soooooo much cuter in person!'

Just then, Kai and the rest of the Bladebreakers entered the room. Kai saw Takara's arms rapped around Ray and instantly strange. It was like nothing he ever felt… sadness, anger… was he jealous? No, Kai Hiwatari, the Great, never cared for any of these emotions… they meant nothing to him. Shaking his head mentally to get ride of these silly ideas, Kai cleared his throat to disturb the 'happy' moment.

"Oh, hi Kai," Ray looked up. He had just changed his mind about this girl… this PRETTY girl. His face when slightly red from embarrassment and from the fact that Takara's arms rapped tightly around him. "Hey guys. What's up?"

"OH! OH!" Max waved his arms around like an idiot. "I KNOW THE ANSWER! THE SKY!"

Everyone sweat dropped. "Nothings up," Tyson stepped forward. Kai moved behind Takara and pried her off of Ray.

"That's good," Ray sniffed the air. "Hey is that pancakes I smell? I'm starving."

"We just started to eat breakfast, why don't you come and join us?" Mr. Dickenson invited.

"Sure!" Ray dropped his bags and went into the room to eat.

O.o***************o.O

After everyone was finished eating, Kenny erupted into the room. "I'm finished!" he held up Takara's *NEW* Beyblade.

"COOL!" Takara jumped over and snatched the Beyblade from the red haired shrimp's hands. "Wow, I just can't wait to try it out!"

"Good," Kai grunted. "We all need some practice." He got up and grabbed his own Beyblade. The rest of the team mimicked him and quickly followed him out.

In the backyard, Mr. Dickenson had 4 Beyblade dishes set up. 2 small ones, that were in the ground, and 2 huge ones that where above ground. Max and Tyson ran over to one of the big ones and started to practice (before Kai could get mad at them), while Kenny watched Ray practice in a smaller dish, updating his information. Kai looked strictly at Takara. "Listen up," he said sharply. "I do not want to see and goofing around, foolish behavior, or any of that nonsense."

"YES SIR!" Takara saluted him, standing straight like a board.

"Where is you're launcher?" He demanded.

"Launcher?" Takara thought. When she bought her Beyblade… she left the launcher still in the wrapping… and she through the wrapping out. "I think I through it out," Takara answered.

Kai treaded his hand through his hair. "You through it out," he growled. "How is that going to help?"

"Not very much," Takara grinned sheepishly. "I also through out the rip cord."

"Kenny," Kai turned to the small boy. "Do you have any extras?"

"You're talking to the King of Extra Supplies," Kenny replied, pulling out a launcher and rip cord (one of those medium sized ones).

"Goodie," Takara snatched them away. And stared to fiddle with them (putting the rip cord into the launcher, blah, blah, blah, etc.)

"Now that you have a launcher and rip cord, you--," Kai began to lecture her on attaching the Beyblade to the launcher, but was stopped by the sight of Takara launching her Beyblade already. "What do you think you're doing?"

"What do you think dummy," she replied, crouching over and watching her *NEW* Beyblade swirl around the dish. "Coooool…"

Kai fumed. What does she thinks she's doing? How did this inexperienced girl get so far with out HIS help? As if Kenny had ready Kai's mind, Kenny blurted, "How did you know all that without Kai's help?!"

"It's not THAT hard," she answer, then lowering her voice so no one could hear. "Jeez, they talk like Beyblading is one of the hardest things in the world. Boys. They think they know everything"

"Girls," Kai muttered at the same voice level as Takara had. "They think they know everything." Then he picking up the volume. "Okay, since you know the basics, which save me a lot of time, I'll go straight to attacking you opponent…"

Takara yawned. "That's right," she said. "Bore me to death… it's so goddam simple. You make it sound so hard…"

"Well, if it's so simple," Kai raged. "Why don't you beat me?"

"Heh," Takara smirked, opening her hand. In a flash, her palm was filled with the blood red of her Beyblade.

Kai flinched. 'How did she…? What the…? How did she know how to do that?' Kai wondered to himself. But, he quickly drew his own Beyblade and launcher, and prepared it. "Surprise me," He smirked back.

"I will," Takara replied. "I won't let you down." Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and tried to remember tips about Beyblading from the episodes. 'Focus you're energy into the Beyblade, don't waste it,' She recalled someone say in one of the forty shows. Breathing again, she opened her eyes and focused her vision on her Beyblade. 'Common Drassess.'

Tyson jumped off and ran over to the small dish. "THREE! TWO! ONE!! LET! IT! RIP!" he roared.

Two Beyblades crashed into the dish and smashed straight on. Drassess was knocked aside easily, but remained strong. Dranzer circled around and attacked Drassess again, this time, making Drassess wobble ever so slightly.

"I'm more experienced then you, you know," Kai taunted. "You're going to lose."

Takara didn't answer. He eyes remand trained on her Beyblade. Suddenly, the slight wobbling stopped, and Drassess dodged Dranzer's next attack.

"WHAT THE?" the boys cried. Barely anyone could DODGE Dranzer. They all looked up at Kai.

"I'm going easy on her," he said simple, shrugging his shoulders. "But it's now time to take it up a notch. DRANZER! FLAME ARROW!" With a screech, Dranzer arose from the Beyblade, flames enveloping it dramatically.

"Hmm…" Takara never even looked up at the towering bit beast. "Drassess? SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!"

Everyone watched as a crystal-blue bit beast emerged, singing. SINGING! It flew up high to where Dranzer shrieked, almost questioning the creature that emerged.

"DRANZER!" Kai commanded. "What are you waiting for?" Dranzer turned to look at his master, seeming to say 'oh yeah, I forgot' and returned to the battle. With a burst of flames, Dranzer descended upon the red Beyblade as a fiery bullet.

The attack hit Drassess head on, making the Beyblade topple severely. Takara swallowed her heart that had suddenly leaped into her throat. 'I can't lose this,' she told herself. 'I can't lose. Can't…' She took in a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying to think of any possibility, but nothing came up. Just when she was beginning to lose all hope, she heard a voice. Soft, but chimed like a small bell.

~Damn you, ~ it cursed. ~Don't lose hope! ~

'Who?' Takara question in her head.

~You're making me weak, ~ it muttered again. ~Common, you can win this! ~

'I can?'

~Duh.~

'Who are you?'

~Maybe another time… right now, I want you to open you eyes and look around! Heh! You can't win if u don't now what the hell is going on! ~

'Right.' Takara's eyes fluttered open and looked at the situation. Dranzer repeatedly rammed Drassess, making it become more and more unstable. "NO!" she yelled.

"Look," Kai muttered. "She finally came out of her trance. About time too. This is way too easy…"

"DRASSESS!" Takara yelped. "COMMON!" the Beyblade automatically regain all of its strength.

"What the…?" the boys cried in shock.

~Now, ~ the voice returned. ~Say 'Crystal Star Gold' or 'Crystal Star Silver'. If you must know, the Gold one is fire and the Silver one is water… Oi! What are you waiting for? Say one! ~

"Umm..." Takara thought quickly. Dranzer's weakness was water… so… "DRASSESS! CRYSTAL STAR SILVER!" Drassess turned to Dranzer, its silver wing glowing brightly. The suddenly, water poured out of its wing, and flowed into Drassess's right claw, forming into a ball. When the ball was complete, Drassess through it at Dranzer.

"DRANZER! NO!" Kai shouted. "Attack with Flame Saber!" Dranzer screamed a reply and rose up to attack. Both attacks collided and a huge explosion occurred, forming a thick cloud of dust. All Bladers waited for the smoke to clear. When it did, it revealed the two blades… neither of them where spinning.

"IT'S A TIE!" Tyson declared.

"I don't usually settle for a tie," Kai muttered.

"Heh!" Takara giggled, bending over to pick up her Beyblade, then staring curiously at the bit chip.

~Good job! ~ The voice said.

"That was so cool!" Max ranted. "BOOM! And a BANG! And a SWOOSH! And a KABOOM!"

Mr. Dickenson entered the back. "Hey everyone! Listen to this! A priceless object was stolen from a Japanese museum last night! It was called the Crown Necklace of Sincerity!" He looked up. "OH! GOOD LORD!" he cried when he saw the mess from the explosion. "What happened? Are you all right?"

"Yes Mr. Dickenson," the children muttered.

"Good…" Mr. Dickenson looked closer. "OH MY! YOU KILLED MY PLANTS! AND MY BEAUTIFUL GREEN GRASS! OH NO!"

Everyone laughed at Mr. Dickenson who began weeping over his grass. A sudden movement caught Takara's eye. She looked over at Kai, and just behind his head, a butterfly danced. She looked closer and noticed it was the butterfly she had saved the night before. It hovered there for a moment and then vanished into thin air. 'Strange,' Takara though. Then she looked down at the Beyblade she held in her hands. 'But from this day forth… I'm gonna become the best Blader I can be…'
