--------------------------------------------------------
Ren slowly slid along the dusty path while Gloria didn't hesitate to skip cheerfully and greet nearly everyone that didn't try to avoid her. Gloria was so courageous, so happy and bringing a rainbow behind every skip she skipped. At least she never liked to argue and she wasn't bully material, but was a bit too sunny for Ren's taste. She had never met anyone like Gloria before. Even though she didn't know Gloria was the perfect type for Ren. While being in her happy-skippy cheery mood, Gloria started skipping little circles around Ren while starting to build up a conversation.
"So Ren, why'd ya wanna compete in the tournament?" Chirped Gloria. So many thoughts whirled in Ren's head, yet none cleared. Ren thought till she gave her self a headache. Why? Why was she so interested in this tournament? Ren needed to take a while to think. While lost in thought, Gloria snapped her into reality by snapping her fingers in Ren's face. "Hullo?"
"What?" Ren responded automatically after blinking a few times.
"Yo, Ren, I expect an answer about now!"
"Well if you're so clever, you tell me why you wanna!" Ren shot back. Maybe Gloria's answer could hint hers. Gloria suddenly stopped acting so hyper and went all wobbly. She walked over to the grassy area next to them and sat down facing the sun. Ren just stood there and stared at her.
"In my dreams I look at the stars all alone. Then I feel an arm around me. I turn to face the stranger and there is my 'lover' Rei. We watch the moon go down for the sun to rise and he pulls me close. We share an embrace and he pulls me close and our lips are about to touch. Then I wake up and come back to reality." Gloria hesitated and turned to face Ren. She gave a short sigh. "I guess the reason is because I want to make that dream into a reality. I want to meet Rei. And train my new bitbeast!" Gloria said, turning the last sentence into hyper mode. Gloria jumped up and searched her pocket. Eventually she grabbed a big lump and pulled out a bright pink beyblade with white stripes going down the middle to the edges with a lion shaped bitchip secured in the middle. Ren ran over to Gloria and peeked over her shoulder.
"Lemmie see!" She said stretching over. Ren was mesmerized by the bitbeast. It looked very powerful indeed. "What's it called?" Ren asked. Gloria rotated it.
"Leonra" She replied. Ren smirked. There was more to Gloria that met the eye. Ren turned around and rummaged in her jeans and Ren also pulled out a lump. Her beyblade was crimson with orange lighting bolts on the ends with a cat shaped bitchip. Ren gave another little smirk as she admired her beyblade. She turned around to face Gloria and held Purgan in front of her. "Fancy a little warm up after registration?" Ren smirked. Gloria smirked also.
"You're on! But don't expect me to go easy on you just cuz you're my new friend an' all!"
"Ahahahaha! You really think I'm that weak? You are gonna be rolling in da mud when I'm finished with you!"
"You wanna bet?!" As they walked down the path playfully throwing insults at eachother, pushing eachother a few times as well as they soon got to their destination.
=========================================
Ren and Gloria stepped through the banner and headed towards the crowds. There were a lot of people there; crowds, queues and beyblades were flying everywhere. Gloria beamed up at the crowds. She couldn't wait to get into the action! Ren hadn't seen so many people in her life before. She wasn't allowed to go to crowded areas because her parents didn't want her to get hurt but since she wasn't stuck with them. She was quite nervous at all the competition that her and Gloria were up against. There were some very strong people and some amateurs.
"Um, Gloria, I dunno...I mean...look at the size of the queue! We'll never make it in time!" Ren stammered. She didn't know if she could take all the pressure. What if she was knocked out in the first round? She had never really used Purgan properly before. And what if she messes up? Ren was awfully pale.
"Aww come on Ren! You we're really psyched up about this before, and now you've chickened out! Come on! Don't be such a wuss!" Gloria grabbed Ren though she refused to move. Gloria didn't give up though. She kept pulling and pulling until she tripped over a caped man. Gloria landed on the floor with a thud. The caped man turned around to see Gloria's face in the dust. He offered his hand out to her.
"Hey, I'm sorry. Need a lift?" He said in a calm voice. Gloria looked up to see his amber eyes, but nothing more of his covered face. She smiled and grabbed the hand as the caped man pulled her up holding on to her waist. When she fully stood up she dusted herself down.
"Thanks!" Gloria said sweetly and giving him a huge grin. He winked at her and walked off while a few others stared at him and whispered to the person next to them. Gloria still kept her silly grin on when he walked off into the distance.
"Ooh! Look at you ya magnet!" Ren said to her, digging her elbow into her ribs. Gloria blushed.
'He looked just like--nah!' Gloria thought as she shook her head and chuckled slightly. "Lets get goin'!" And with that, Gloria grabbed Ren and hauled her into the queue, with a few others following behind them. Ren didn't really seem to mind anymore. After a long wait they finally got to the table to register. The guy at the table smiled and greeted Gloria.
"Ah! Hello again Gloria! Who's this?" He said, referring to Ren.
"This is Ren." Gloria replied.
"H-hi." Ren said quietly. She always went all quiet when she met new people. The guy at the table just cocked his eyebrow. Gloria quickly covered up for her.
"She's my partner at the tournament, she needs to register." Gloria said. The man smiled at Ren and offered his hand to her.
"'Ello Ren, name's Colin! I'm Gloria's cousin." Colin said cockily. Ren smiled and accepted the hand politely. "Kay then! Ren I just need ya details then you'll be set for the challenge. Since we have so many people here today you are in block c located right from here. Gloria'll show you." Colin said and he handed Ren a pen to put her details down.
"M'kay, I'm done!" Ren said triumphantly once she had filled in the long form.
"Brill! Now just follow Gloria to block c. Good luck!" Colin said with a smile.
=========================================
"Ready for our big warm up, Ren?" Gloria shouted to Ren while clutching her launcher intensely. Ren just chortled and smirked.
"You bet! Don't go easy cause I'm not!" Ren yelled back. Ren couldn't wait to see the look on Gloria's face if she lost. Gloria shut her eyes and gave a small smile. "Lets get this started!" Ren yelled. Gloria began the countdown.
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"LET IT RIP!!" They both chorused together. They both pulled the rip chord hard and the beyblades went flying into the dish lashing at eachother endlessly. None of them had tired yet. "C'mon Purgan, hit her out the dish!" Ren yelled at her blade. Purgan drew outwards and came down with extra speed, sending Leonra flying, but not out the dish for it was just on the tip, but it still hadn't slowed down and neither had Purgan.
"You're gonna get it! Leonra, attack! Show no mercy!" Leonra soon recovered from that blow and spun around the dish charging power. Eventually it cut off from spinning around and charged at Purgan with little accuracy, but still managed to hit it. Purgan was hit towards the edge, but refused to go out. It came downwards slowly and still spinning. The two beyblades continued to hit and attack eachother but none would stop. Ren was getting bored. This match was getting nowhere and crowds were starting to gather. She decided to end this match.
"We won't be evenly matched any longer! Go Purgan!" She yelled at her bitbeast. A pink light emerged from the bitchip. It became taller and taller and it started to swirl into a figure. Eventually a cat like creature emerged on top of the crimson beyblade. It had small wings and a spike on the tip of its tail with metal armour on it's face and paws. It was Purgan. More people started to gather round the beydish at the amazement of the emerged beast, all in awe. Even Gloria was amazed but she wasn't a fool.
"Ok then, I'll fight fire with fire! Leonra, come forth almighty beast!" Gloria called to her bitbeast. This time and orange ball of light emerged from the bit chip and it formed into a great lion with a long mane trailing behind it's back. It had an emerald gem centred on its forehead and a pattern on its back. Even more people gathered, including a bluenette boy and a black haired boy. Leonra gave a mighty roar as the battle of the bitbeasts progressed as they continuously slashed at eachother ruthlessly.
===========================================
Kai looked at the disappearing crowd slowing heading towards the c block. Surely there weren't that many people in the c block. He could hear roars in the distance and gasping near that area. Rei was thinking the same thing too. They could tell something was going on.
"Hey Kai?" Rei asked.
"What?" Kai hissed back.
"Y'know, those noises are coming from the c block, wanna check it out?"
"...Whatever" Kai groaned. They both rose from their table and walked towards the c block.
=========================
When Kai and Rei finally got there they stared, just like the others at the battle of the felines. They couldn't look away from the ferocious battle. Rei looked at the girl with the musty black hair then darted his eyes over to the girl with long mousy brown hair. She was looking at him too. Rei smiled at her sweetly and she didn't hesitate to smile back. Gloria felt like a 5-ton weight was lifted off her head. She wasn't dreaming. Her crush was standing in her line of vision, and smiling at her too! And all she could do was smile back. She felt helpless. Then suddenly the roar of Leonra woke her from her daydreams. Leonra was being pummelled by Purgan's slashes.
"Give up yet?" Ren taunted. Gloria quickly launched a comeback.
"Leonra SHOW NO MERCY!" She yelled. Leonra Swiped the same time as Purgan and they clashed. Light was flown everywhere and everyone was blinded. As the light faded the smoke started to clear...
