Chapter 1: The
Kalevalans
Tyson and the other Bladebreakers are on a plane that's flying over Russia. They haven't changed much. (Well, this story takes place two months after the Russian tournament.) Tyson is still his own, hotheaded self. Max is cheerful as always. Ray still has scars from the battle between him and Brian, but the worse wounds have healed. Kai's still quiet but a little nicer to his teammates. And Kenny is still, well, he's still working with Dizzi to upgrade and fix the team's beyblades.
"Man, I'm so excited that I could barely stay on my seat!" Tyson said in his cheerful way.
"You said it Tyson. I can't believe were going to Finland. I've always wondered what it's like there." Max said, sitting next to Tyson. "Are you excited Kenny?"
"Of course Max. I'm really interested about what kind of bladers they have there." Kenny said.
"I'm excited as well. I heard that Finland is one of the most beautiful countries in the world." Ray said. "How about you Kai? Are you excited?"
"Were not going to just relax and look at cites. We have to train, since the beyblade teams with the best experience can enter." Kai said, sitting in his arms crossed posture.
"Lighten up Kai. The tournament starts over a week. We have plenty of time to train." Tyson said to Kai with his "don't be so serious" mood.
"I guess." Kai said.
A few hours later at Helsinki airport, Tyson and the others leave the airport through its main gate. Ray wasn't completely right about Finland being beautiful. The streets around the huge airport were full of dirty snow and there was pollution in the air.
"Uh, Ray. This place doesn't look that beautiful." Tyson said.
"Well, were near Helsinki, so I guess it's not that beautiful here." Ray said.
"Could we find a taxi? It's a bit chilly out here." Max said, rubbing his hands together. (They're wearing those winter clothes they wore in Russia.)
A minivan taxi drove in front of the Bladebreakers. The door on the taxi opened and a man stepped out.
"Hello boys." The man greeted the Bladebrakers.
"Oh. Hello Mr. Dickinson." Tyson greeted. "What are you doing here already?"
"I came here a few days earlier to help prepare for the tournament. I also checked you in to a hotel." Mr. Dickinson said.
"Alright. After we get to the hotel, could we go see some cite seeing in Helsinki Mr. D? "Tyson asked.
"I don't see why not." Mr. Dickinson said.
"Cool." Max said in his cheerful way.
The taxi drove Tyson and the others to the hotel. It was near Helsinki's shipyard.
"Well, were off Mr. Dickinson." Kenny informed.
"Alright, but watch out for blade pickers." Mr. Dickinson warned.
"What are they?" Ray asked.
"Blade pickers are people who pick pocket beybladers. You should keep your beyblades in a pocket they can't reach without being detected." Mr. Dickinson suggested.
"They're not getting Draciel. I'll keep him in my front pocket, like I always do." Max said.
Tyson and the others walked to Helsinki square. It was crowded and the people didn't watch where they were going, it was like they bumped into other people on purpose. The Bladebreakers finally got out of the crowd into an empty street. Tyson leaned next to a lamppost. Tyson, Max, Ray and Kai checked that were their beyblades safe. All the blades were safe in their owners pockets.
"Our beyblades are safe. But lets not walk in crowds alright?" Ray said.
"You got it Ray. All my toes got stomped." Max said.
"Y' know guys, we haven't met any bladers here yet." Tyson said, still leaning next to the lamppost.
"You're right Tyson. Why are they holding a beyblade tournament here, when there are no kids that play beyblade." Kenny said, holding his chin.
The Bladebreakers didn't notice, that when Tyson leaned next to the lamppost, his BBA jacket was not covering one of Tyson's pockets; witch was the one where he had his beyblade. A hand reached into Tyson's pocket and took the beyblade. A kid wearing gray clothes walked past the Bladebreakkers and turned to them when he was about 30 meters away from them and swung his hand with Tyson's Dragoon.
"Yo! Thanks for the beyblade! Suckers!" The kid said to the Bladebreakers and started running away.
"Wha... Oh no! He stole Dragoon!" Tyson panicked.
"Oh no! He's getting away! Kenny said to the others, pointing at the running thief.
"After him!" Ray said.
The Bladebreakers followed the thief. A kid wearing a green coat that covered his mouth, blue jeans, a white headband with a blue line in its middle, black biker gloves, sunglasses and had light brown hair saw the whole thing. He ran to the opposite direction from where the thief and the Bladebreakers ran. The thief made a quick turn to an ally and the Bladebreakers didn't see where he went.
"Oh no! Now I lost Dragoon!" Tyson panicked.
"Don't worry Tyson he couldn't have gotten far." Max said looking around the town square.
The thief had stopped running. He was in an ally, looking at the beyblade he stole.
"I can't believe it. I got the champion's beyblade. Now I'll be the best there is and I can finally get even with..." The thief was paused as he saw the kid who saw the theft was standing in front of him.
"Give that beyblade back. It's not yours." The kid wearing sunglasses said.
"What's it to you loser? Go away or I'll sic my new blade at you." The thief threatened.
"You don't seem to know who I am." The boy wearing sunglasses said. He took off the sunglasses and opened his coat collar. "Remember now?" The boy asked.
"No! Now go away!" The thief said.
The Bladebreakers heard the thief yell at the boy.
"That voice, he's there!" Ray pointed to the ally.
"Lets go!" Tyson said.
The Bladebreakers ran into the ally. They saw the thief looking at the mysterious boy.
"Hmph. You should learn to remember your opponent's dude. Does this tell you who I am?" The boy said and took out a silver colored beyblade out of his pocket and flashed to the thief. The beyblade had a wide attack ring and it had four sharp points, shaped a little like birds.
"Gaah! It... it... it's YOU!" The thief said in fear. "I wont lose to you this time!" The thief said and took out his beyblade shooter.
Suddenly the green coat wearing boy's beyblade flew at the thief and crushed the thief's shooter. In fear the thief dropped Tyson's beyblade and ran away through the Bladebreakers and knocked Tyson down.
"Why you, come back with my blade!" Tyson yelled at the running thief.
"Don't worry. Your blade is safe." The mysterious boy said holding Tyson's blade.
"Hey, thanks." Tyson said as he took his beyblade back. "That was an impressive launch. What's your name?" Tyson asked.
"My name is..."
"Rio!" The boy was cut off as someone called out his name.
The boy whose name was Rio looked behind him and saw a tall boy wearing a blue coat, black winter pants and a white winter hat. Followed by was a short kid who wore a black coat and blue jeans. And behind them was a girl who wore a yellowish coat and black pants. She also wore a white scarf.
"Oh. Hi Mike, Karl and Ann." Rio said happily. "Look who I ran into." Rio said, pointing at the Bladebreakers.
"So, uh Rio. Who are those guys?" Max asked.
"Right. These are my friends. This is Mike. He's Karl and she is Ann." Rio introduced.
"I'm Tyson, this is Max, Ray, Kenny and Kai." Tyson introduced. All the guys greeted each other. (Except for Kai)
"It's a honor to meet the beyblade champions of the world." Rio said.
"Nice to meet you too." Tyson said. "So you guys beyblade?"
"Yes we do. We are Finland's best bladers." Karl said.
"We are actually a team. If it weren't for Rio, our team probably would have never existed." Mike said.
"What is your team called?" Kenny asked.
"We're the Kalevalans." Ann said.
"The Kalevalans? You heard of the tournament they're holding here?" Ray asked.
"Have we? We've entered. Thanks to our skills and experience after winning the Canadian, South American and Australian tournaments." Rio said crossing his arms.
"Kenny, are there, really more tournaments than we have fought?" Tyson asked.
"Well, I have heard that there are other tournaments held in different continents at the same time during the Asian and American tournaments." Kenny answered.
"That's right. When you were at the Asian tournament, we were in Canada. That tournament was a synch since we battled in climates we're already used to." Karl said.
"And when you were in U.S.A, we were battling in Brazil." Ann said.
"And we entered an extra tournament when the finals were going." Mike said.
"Why didn't you go to the finals?" Max asked.
"We didn't want to." Rio said looking at the ground.
"Why?" Ray asked.
"We had our reasons. Can we go somewhere else? I don't like chatting in alleys." Rio said.
"Say. Why don't we have a good 'ol fashion bey battle?" Tyson asked.
"We can't, we ha...."
"I'd love to. There are small arenas over at the town square." Rio said before Mike got to finish his sentence.
"But Rio." Mike said.
"Hey c'mon. It wont hurt if we have one battle." Rio said.
The kids walked to a medium sized arena that was in a middle of a street and it was made out of granite. Many kids gathered around the arena as Rio and Tyson stood opposite of each other next to the arena. Rio threw his coat off all cool style. He was wearing a blue t-shirt and jean vest. Rio folded some hair out of the way of his right eye. He took out a white beyblade shooter and a blue ripcord. Tyson took out his shooter that had a dragonhead ornament on it. Tyson attached his phantom Dragoon beyblade on to the shooter and Rio attached his silver beyblade on to his shooter. They both went into their shooting posture.
"Ready?" Max asked the two. He was the judge.
"Alright Dizzi, its time to work." Kenny said and opened his laptop.
"About time. I was falling asleep here." Dizzi said from inside Kenny's laptop.
"Be careful Tyson." Kai said.
Go Rio!" some girl fans from the crowd cheered.
"Ok. Three... two... one... let it rip!" Max announced and swung his arm.
Tyson and Rio pulled their ripcords and launched their blades into the arena. Rios blade just went into the middle of the arena, while Tyson's beyblade spun around the arena.
"Alright. Dragoon, attack!" Tyson commanded.
Tyson's blade went straight at Rio's blade. Rio swung his arm like some sort of war commander and his blade crashed straight at Tyson's blade, causing Tyson's blade to spin right to the arena's edge.
"Oh no!" Tyson said.
Tyson's blade managed to spin back into the arena.
"What happened Dizzi?" Kenny asked Dizzi.
"If I'm not mistaking, Rio's beyblade somehow made Tyson's blade loose spin after that last attack and is now using it for itself. Tyson was lucky to maintain balance and I'm also getting spiritual readings from Rio's blade and it seems to pack a punch!" Dizzi warned.
"Spiritual?" Kai thought.
"Fine. If you want to play hard, I'll just show you what I'm capable of. Dragoon!" Tyson said.
Tyson's blades bit started glowing and Dragoon rose out of it.
"Dragoon, phantom hurricane attack!" Tyson told Dragoon.
Tyson's beyblade created a tornado and crashed straight at Rio's blade and knocked it into the air.
"Ha haa. How do you like that?" Tyson said.
"Smooth move." Rio said calmly. "But now it's time to end this fight!" Rio's face turned angry. "Go, Hawkor!"
Rio's beyblade started to glow as well while it was in the air. A huge bird appeared from Rio's blade. It glowed brown. It had blade like feathers in its wings and tail feathers that reminded of a peacocks but were shorter and it also had a lion's tail. There was a black symbol and black dots on its chest and had curled feathers on its head. Its heads top was colored darker and it had a white, eagle's beak.
"What is that?!" Max asked.
"Rio has a bit beast too?" Ray wondered.
"Dizzi, can you upload Rio's bit beast's power?" Kenny asked Dizzi again.
"I'm already on it chief. Hawkor's power is unbelievable and is still rising!" Dizzi said.
"Wow. I wondered when Rio was going to summon Hawkor." Mike said.
"Aero dynamo attack!" Rio commanded Hawkor.
Rio's beyblade started falling at the arena in full speed and red sparks were flying out of it. When Rio's blade fell on the arena, it started going after Tyson's blade.
"Dragoon, attack again!" Tyson commanded.
"Tyson, don't!" Kenny tried to warn him.
"What is it Kenny?" Max asked him.
"Dizzi just finished uploading Hawkor's power. It has gone off the charts and if Tyson attacks again, his Dragoon is toast." Kenny explained.
"Go Dragoon!" Tyson yelled.
Dragoon and Hawkor were fighting each other in the air. Rio's beyblade dodged Tyson's attack and then the blade made a U shaped turn in full speed.
"Finish it off Hawkor!" Rio commanded.
Rio's beyblade crashed onto Tyson's blade. There was a blue flash in the arena and everyone saw as one of the beyblades flew out and fell on the ground. Tyson's blade was out of the arena and Rio's was still spinning in the middle of the arena and it looked like nothing had happened to it. Then Rio's blade spun out of the arena and Rio caught it from the air.
"No! I lost. And I'm the world champion." Tyson said as he picked up his beyblade from the ground.
"Tyson." Rio said. He had out his coat back on. "That was a good game."
"Thanks. That was a wicked attack you had there." Tyson complimented.
"You're lucky that his blade didn't fall on yours Tyson. Rio's Hawkor and its aero dynamo can crush other blades like that." Karl told Tyson.
"I just got shocked a bit. I'm the world champion and I still lost." Tyson said, looking at his defeated Dragoon blade.
"Even if you're the champion, you still need to train Tyson." Kai said.
"He's right. If you want to keep your title as the world champion, you still have to train." Ray agreed.
"Say guys. Didn't this count as training too?" Tyson asked.
"You're right Tyson. We have now learned how strong Rio is. Now we know what sort of tricks he can pull at us and Dizzi figured out how strong Hawkor's attack power is." Kenny figured.
"Hey, Rio. How 'bout a rematch sometime?" Tyson asked
"Sure. At the tournament or the next time we meet. But I'd rather let someone else from my team play."
"I'd like to see what kind of moves your friends have." Karl said as he and the other Kalevalans team members were about to leave.
"Wait." Kai said.
The Kalevalans turned around.
"Yes?" Rio asked.
"I want to challenge one of you, right now." Kai said as he held his shooter with his beyblade attached to it.
"Alright. I'm takin' you on!" Karl said excitedly and threw his coat off. Karl wore a green turtleneck sweater. He took out his silver colored shooter and his black ripcord.
"Whoa!" Max said as he saw Karl's ripcord.
Karl's ripcord was about sixty centimeters long. Karl attached his blue beyblade on to his shooter and put the ripcord through it.
"Lets see why Karl uses such a long ripcord. Got a clue Dizzi?" Kenny asked Dizzi.
"Well Kenny. It appears that Karl's beyblade is not meant for speed. That ripcord gives him one heck of an advantage, so Kai better watch out." Dizzi said.
"Alright Kai! Show him what you can do!" Tyson cheered.
Kai just smirked.
"3... 2... 1...Let it rip!" Max said and swung his arm again.
Kai and Karl launched their blades into the arena. Karl's beyblade's attack ring was also pretty wide and it also spun in the middle of the arena, but not in such good balance as Rio's Hawkor beyblade. Kai's beyblade kept on circling Karl's blade.
"Man he's good. Kai is wearing down Karl's blade." Ann said, as she looked impressed.
"Don't worry about that. Karl's ripcord gave him enough spin power." Mike said.
"So Kai, are you just going to spin around all day, or are you gonna fight?" Karl asked sarcastically.
"You should worry about yourself and your blade." Kai said calmly.
"Alright. Ursor, offence! Hakkaa päälle!" Karl yelled in Finnish.
"What?" Tyson wondered.
"What's this, Ursor?" Ray wondered.
"Dizzi's got something." Kenny said.
"Uh, yeah. Karl also appears to have a vicious bit beast as well. I just haven't got a clue what it is." Dizzi said.
"Just what I was waiting for. Go, Dranzer!" Kai called out.
Kai's beyblade's bit glowed and his fire red phoenix, Dranzer came out, surrounded by fire.
"Dranzer, flame saber attack!" Kai commanded.
Kai's beyblade spun at full speed to the arena's edge at full speed and flew into the air. Once the blade was falling back onto the arena, fire surrounded it and Dranzer that was still there was soaring at Karl's blade with Kai's beyblade.
"Way to go Kai! There's no way Karl's going to survive that!" Max cheered.
"So that's Dranzer's flame saber. I've heard of it once, but I didn't believe it to be that strong." Mike said amazed.
"Be careful Karl!" Rio warned.
"Don't worry about that." Karl said and was still amazed by Dranzer and its attack. "Ursor, defense!" Karl commanded.
Karl's beyblade started glowing orange from its bit, but his bit-beast didn't appear yet. Karl's beyblade started staying in the middle of the arena again. Kai's blade fell on to Karl's blade with great force. Fire was flying a bit and then Kai's blade was back on the arena, while Karl's blade was wobbling a bit.
"Still standing eh? I'll fix that. Dranzer, attack! Fire arrow!" Kai commanded.
Dranzer was still out and fire surrounded Kai's blade again. Kai's beyblade rushed straight at Karl's.
"Ursor, lunar slash attack!" Karl commanded his blade.
Karl's beyblade started glowing orange again. This time a huge bear rose out of it. It had steel armor on its back and head. It had bracelets around its legs and its front paws had really long claws. It roared like a big grizzly bear.
"Whoa! That's an ugly animal Karl's got there. And its power is rising!" Dizzi warned.
Karl's beyblade went next to Kai's blade and started crashing onto it so much that it looked like it was attached to Kai's blade. Seen above the beyblades, Ursor was slashing Dranzer ballistic. Kai's beyblade was starting to wobble.
"What is this!?" Kai panicked.
"Kai, Dizzi wants you to hear something." Kenny informed.
Kai listened and still looked at the match.
"I just uploaded and found out something about Ursor's slash attack. Karl's beyblade constantly keeps switching spin direction and causes the opponents blades to cease spin power. I'd hate to say this, but Kai's in trouble." Dizzi explained.
"Now, Ursor attack!" Karl commanded.
Karl's blade stopped crashing onto Kai's and went farther away from it. Suddenly Karl's blade started to head straight at Kai's blade again, but this time it moved a lot faster.
"Mrrr. Dranzer, spiral survivor!" Kai commanded.
A bluish flame spiral surrounded Dranzer and Kai's blade. As Karl's beyblade charged at Kai's blade and crashed onto it, the force of Karl's attack and Dranzer's spiral survivor caused both blades to fly out of the arena and fall on the ground. Both blades let out smoke.
"A... tie? Kai tied?" Tyson was shocked.
"Man. Kai survived Karl's lunar slash." Rio was also shocked a bit.
There was a moment of silence.
"Good game Kai." Karl said as he held out his hand to shake hands with Kai.
Kai didn't shake hands. He turned around in his rude way with his eyes closed.
"Whatever. In the tournament I wont go easy on you. You should remember that." Kai said.
"Well that was rude." Ann said.
"Guess we should be heading back to our hotel guys." Rio said to his teammates.
"Hey guys." Tyson said.
"Yes?" Rio asked.
"It was fun blading with you guys. I hope we meet at the tournament." Tyson said with his thumb up.
"We had fun too. And you'll definitely see us at the tournament. We have heard that the best teams in the world have entered, so you guys better keep your guards up." Rio said.
"Thanks for the warning. See ya." Tyson said.
"Yeah. Heippa." Rio said. The Kalevalans started walking to the left.
"What does that that mean?" Max managed to ask Ann.
"It means "bye" in Finnish." Ann answered.
"Hey, guys. I think we should head back too." Ray said.
"You're right Ray. I'm getting hungry." Tyson said.
Ray, Max, Kai and Kenny anime sweat dropped.
"We were actually wondering when you were going to say that." Max said, scratching the back of his head.
"This is actually a good day. We've been in Finland only for a couple of hours and we already met this country's best beybladers." Kenny said.
Later, back at the hotel. The Bladebreakers were in their room sitting on their beds and chairs.
"Aww. It's hard to find any TV shows that are in English." Tyson complained.
"Well, we are in Finland Tyson." Max said.
"I wonder if the White tigers entered." Ray said while looking out the window.
"Yeah. Or the All starz." Max said.
Down in the hotel's gym. (Since some hotels have gyms) The Kalevalans were training in the gym. They were all wearing gymnastic clothing. They were doing stretches, push-ups, sit ups etc.
"Hope we face the Bladebreakers again soon. It was fun battling and we witnessed two of their specialties." Rio thought, while doing sit ups.
Tyson and the other Bladebreakers are on a plane that's flying over Russia. They haven't changed much. (Well, this story takes place two months after the Russian tournament.) Tyson is still his own, hotheaded self. Max is cheerful as always. Ray still has scars from the battle between him and Brian, but the worse wounds have healed. Kai's still quiet but a little nicer to his teammates. And Kenny is still, well, he's still working with Dizzi to upgrade and fix the team's beyblades.
"Man, I'm so excited that I could barely stay on my seat!" Tyson said in his cheerful way.
"You said it Tyson. I can't believe were going to Finland. I've always wondered what it's like there." Max said, sitting next to Tyson. "Are you excited Kenny?"
"Of course Max. I'm really interested about what kind of bladers they have there." Kenny said.
"I'm excited as well. I heard that Finland is one of the most beautiful countries in the world." Ray said. "How about you Kai? Are you excited?"
"Were not going to just relax and look at cites. We have to train, since the beyblade teams with the best experience can enter." Kai said, sitting in his arms crossed posture.
"Lighten up Kai. The tournament starts over a week. We have plenty of time to train." Tyson said to Kai with his "don't be so serious" mood.
"I guess." Kai said.
A few hours later at Helsinki airport, Tyson and the others leave the airport through its main gate. Ray wasn't completely right about Finland being beautiful. The streets around the huge airport were full of dirty snow and there was pollution in the air.
"Uh, Ray. This place doesn't look that beautiful." Tyson said.
"Well, were near Helsinki, so I guess it's not that beautiful here." Ray said.
"Could we find a taxi? It's a bit chilly out here." Max said, rubbing his hands together. (They're wearing those winter clothes they wore in Russia.)
A minivan taxi drove in front of the Bladebreakers. The door on the taxi opened and a man stepped out.

"Oh. Hello Mr. Dickinson." Tyson greeted. "What are you doing here already?"
"I came here a few days earlier to help prepare for the tournament. I also checked you in to a hotel." Mr. Dickinson said.
"Alright. After we get to the hotel, could we go see some cite seeing in Helsinki Mr. D? "Tyson asked.
"I don't see why not." Mr. Dickinson said.
"Cool." Max said in his cheerful way.

"You're right Tyson. Why are they holding a beyblade tournament here, when there are no kids that play beyblade." Kenny said, holding his chin.
The Bladebreakers didn't notice, that when Tyson leaned next to the lamppost, his BBA jacket was not covering one of Tyson's pockets; witch was the one where he had his beyblade.

"Yo! Thanks for the beyblade! Suckers!" The kid said to the Bladebreakers and started running away.
"Wha... Oh no! He stole Dragoon!" Tyson panicked.
"Oh no! He's getting away! Kenny said to the others, pointing at the running thief.
"After him!" Ray said.
The Bladebreakers followed the thief. A kid wearing a green coat that covered his mouth, blue jeans, a white headband with a blue line in its middle, black biker gloves, sunglasses and had light brown hair saw the whole thing. He ran to the opposite direction from where the thief and the Bladebreakers ran. The thief made a quick turn to an ally and the Bladebreakers didn't see where he went.
"Oh no! Now I lost Dragoon!" Tyson panicked.
"Don't worry Tyson he couldn't have gotten far." Max said looking around the town square.
The thief had stopped running. He was in an ally, looking at the beyblade he stole.
"I can't believe it. I got the champion's beyblade. Now I'll be the best there is and I can finally get even with..." The thief was paused as he saw the kid who saw the theft was standing in front of him.
"Give that beyblade back. It's not yours." The kid wearing sunglasses said.

"You don't seem to know who I am." The boy wearing sunglasses said. He took off the sunglasses and opened his coat collar. "Remember now?" The boy asked.
"No! Now go away!" The thief said.
The Bladebreakers heard the thief yell at the boy.
"That voice, he's there!" Ray pointed to the ally.
"Lets go!" Tyson said.
The Bladebreakers ran into the ally. They saw the thief looking at the mysterious boy.
"Hmph. You should learn to remember your opponent's dude. Does this tell you who I am?" The boy said and took out a silver colored beyblade out of his pocket and flashed to the thief. The beyblade had a wide attack ring and it had four sharp points, shaped a little like birds.
"Gaah! It... it... it's YOU!" The thief said in fear. "I wont lose to you this time!" The thief said and took out his beyblade shooter.
Suddenly the green coat wearing boy's beyblade flew at the thief and crushed the thief's shooter. In fear the thief dropped Tyson's beyblade and ran away through the Bladebreakers and knocked Tyson down.
"Why you, come back with my blade!" Tyson yelled at the running thief.
"Don't worry. Your blade is safe." The mysterious boy said holding Tyson's blade.
"Hey, thanks." Tyson said as he took his beyblade back. "That was an impressive launch. What's your name?" Tyson asked.
"My name is..."
"Rio!" The boy was cut off as someone called out his name.
The boy whose name was Rio looked behind him and saw a tall boy wearing a blue coat, black winter pants and a white winter hat. Followed by was a short kid who wore a black coat and blue jeans. And behind them was a girl who wore a yellowish coat and black pants. She also wore a white scarf.
"Oh. Hi Mike, Karl and Ann." Rio said happily. "Look who I ran into." Rio said, pointing at the Bladebreakers.
"So, uh Rio. Who are those guys?" Max asked.
"Right. These are my friends. This is Mike. He's Karl and she is Ann." Rio introduced.
"I'm Tyson, this is Max, Ray, Kenny and Kai." Tyson introduced. All the guys greeted each other. (Except for Kai)
"It's a honor to meet the beyblade champions of the world." Rio said.
"Nice to meet you too." Tyson said. "So you guys beyblade?"
"Yes we do. We are Finland's best bladers." Karl said.
"We are actually a team. If it weren't for Rio, our team probably would have never existed." Mike said.
"What is your team called?" Kenny asked.
"We're the Kalevalans." Ann said.
"The Kalevalans? You heard of the tournament they're holding here?" Ray asked.
"Have we? We've entered. Thanks to our skills and experience after winning the Canadian, South American and Australian tournaments." Rio said crossing his arms.
"Kenny, are there, really more tournaments than we have fought?" Tyson asked.
"Well, I have heard that there are other tournaments held in different continents at the same time during the Asian and American tournaments." Kenny answered.
"That's right. When you were at the Asian tournament, we were in Canada. That tournament was a synch since we battled in climates we're already used to." Karl said.
"And when you were in U.S.A, we were battling in Brazil." Ann said.
"And we entered an extra tournament when the finals were going." Mike said.
"Why didn't you go to the finals?" Max asked.
"We didn't want to." Rio said looking at the ground.
"Why?" Ray asked.
"We had our reasons. Can we go somewhere else? I don't like chatting in alleys." Rio said.
"Say. Why don't we have a good 'ol fashion bey battle?" Tyson asked.
"We can't, we ha...."
"I'd love to. There are small arenas over at the town square." Rio said before Mike got to finish his sentence.
"But Rio." Mike said.
"Hey c'mon. It wont hurt if we have one battle." Rio said.
The kids walked to a medium sized arena that was in a middle of a street and it was made out of granite. Many kids gathered around the arena as Rio and Tyson stood opposite of each other next to the arena. Rio threw his coat off all cool style. He was wearing a blue t-shirt and jean vest. Rio folded some hair out of the way of his right eye. He took out a white beyblade shooter and a blue ripcord. Tyson took out his shooter that had a dragonhead ornament on it. Tyson attached his phantom Dragoon beyblade on to the shooter and Rio attached his silver beyblade on to his shooter. They both went into their shooting posture.
"Ready?" Max asked the two. He was the judge.
"Alright Dizzi, its time to work." Kenny said and opened his laptop.
"About time. I was falling asleep here." Dizzi said from inside Kenny's laptop.
"Be careful Tyson." Kai said.
Go Rio!" some girl fans from the crowd cheered.
"Ok. Three... two... one... let it rip!" Max announced and swung his arm.
Tyson and Rio pulled their ripcords and launched their blades into the arena. Rios blade just went into the middle of the arena, while Tyson's beyblade spun around the arena.
"Alright. Dragoon, attack!" Tyson commanded.
Tyson's blade went straight at Rio's blade. Rio swung his arm like some sort of war commander and his blade crashed straight at Tyson's blade, causing Tyson's blade to spin right to the arena's edge.
"Oh no!" Tyson said.
Tyson's blade managed to spin back into the arena.
"What happened Dizzi?" Kenny asked Dizzi.
"If I'm not mistaking, Rio's beyblade somehow made Tyson's blade loose spin after that last attack and is now using it for itself. Tyson was lucky to maintain balance and I'm also getting spiritual readings from Rio's blade and it seems to pack a punch!" Dizzi warned.
"Spiritual?" Kai thought.
"Fine. If you want to play hard, I'll just show you what I'm capable of. Dragoon!" Tyson said.
Tyson's blades bit started glowing and Dragoon rose out of it.
"Dragoon, phantom hurricane attack!" Tyson told Dragoon.
Tyson's beyblade created a tornado and crashed straight at Rio's blade and knocked it into the air.
"Ha haa. How do you like that?" Tyson said.
"Smooth move." Rio said calmly. "But now it's time to end this fight!" Rio's face turned angry. "Go, Hawkor!"
Rio's beyblade started to glow as well while it was in the air. A huge bird appeared from Rio's blade. It glowed brown. It had blade like feathers in its wings and tail feathers that reminded of a peacocks but were shorter and it also had a lion's tail. There was a black symbol and black dots on its chest and had curled feathers on its head. Its heads top was colored darker and it had a white, eagle's beak.
"What is that?!" Max asked.
"Rio has a bit beast too?" Ray wondered.
"Dizzi, can you upload Rio's bit beast's power?" Kenny asked Dizzi again.
"I'm already on it chief. Hawkor's power is unbelievable and is still rising!" Dizzi said.
"Wow. I wondered when Rio was going to summon Hawkor." Mike said.
"Aero dynamo attack!" Rio commanded Hawkor.
Rio's beyblade started falling at the arena in full speed and red sparks were flying out of it. When Rio's blade fell on the arena, it started going after Tyson's blade.
"Dragoon, attack again!" Tyson commanded.
"Tyson, don't!" Kenny tried to warn him.
"What is it Kenny?" Max asked him.
"Dizzi just finished uploading Hawkor's power. It has gone off the charts and if Tyson attacks again, his Dragoon is toast." Kenny explained.
"Go Dragoon!" Tyson yelled.
Dragoon and Hawkor were fighting each other in the air. Rio's beyblade dodged Tyson's attack and then the blade made a U shaped turn in full speed.
"Finish it off Hawkor!" Rio commanded.
Rio's beyblade crashed onto Tyson's blade. There was a blue flash in the arena and everyone saw as one of the beyblades flew out and fell on the ground. Tyson's blade was out of the arena and Rio's was still spinning in the middle of the arena and it looked like nothing had happened to it. Then Rio's blade spun out of the arena and Rio caught it from the air.
"No! I lost. And I'm the world champion." Tyson said as he picked up his beyblade from the ground.
"Tyson." Rio said. He had out his coat back on. "That was a good game."
"Thanks. That was a wicked attack you had there." Tyson complimented.
"You're lucky that his blade didn't fall on yours Tyson. Rio's Hawkor and its aero dynamo can crush other blades like that." Karl told Tyson.
"I just got shocked a bit. I'm the world champion and I still lost." Tyson said, looking at his defeated Dragoon blade.
"Even if you're the champion, you still need to train Tyson." Kai said.
"He's right. If you want to keep your title as the world champion, you still have to train." Ray agreed.
"Say guys. Didn't this count as training too?" Tyson asked.
"You're right Tyson. We have now learned how strong Rio is. Now we know what sort of tricks he can pull at us and Dizzi figured out how strong Hawkor's attack power is." Kenny figured.
"Hey, Rio. How 'bout a rematch sometime?" Tyson asked
"Sure. At the tournament or the next time we meet. But I'd rather let someone else from my team play."
"I'd like to see what kind of moves your friends have." Karl said as he and the other Kalevalans team members were about to leave.
"Wait." Kai said.
The Kalevalans turned around.
"Yes?" Rio asked.
"I want to challenge one of you, right now." Kai said as he held his shooter with his beyblade attached to it.
"Alright. I'm takin' you on!" Karl said excitedly and threw his coat off. Karl wore a green turtleneck sweater. He took out his silver colored shooter and his black ripcord.
"Whoa!" Max said as he saw Karl's ripcord.
Karl's ripcord was about sixty centimeters long. Karl attached his blue beyblade on to his shooter and put the ripcord through it.
"Lets see why Karl uses such a long ripcord. Got a clue Dizzi?" Kenny asked Dizzi.
"Well Kenny. It appears that Karl's beyblade is not meant for speed. That ripcord gives him one heck of an advantage, so Kai better watch out." Dizzi said.
"Alright Kai! Show him what you can do!" Tyson cheered.
Kai just smirked.
"3... 2... 1...Let it rip!" Max said and swung his arm again.
Kai and Karl launched their blades into the arena. Karl's beyblade's attack ring was also pretty wide and it also spun in the middle of the arena, but not in such good balance as Rio's Hawkor beyblade. Kai's beyblade kept on circling Karl's blade.
"Man he's good. Kai is wearing down Karl's blade." Ann said, as she looked impressed.
"Don't worry about that. Karl's ripcord gave him enough spin power." Mike said.
"So Kai, are you just going to spin around all day, or are you gonna fight?" Karl asked sarcastically.
"You should worry about yourself and your blade." Kai said calmly.
"Alright. Ursor, offence! Hakkaa päälle!" Karl yelled in Finnish.
"What?" Tyson wondered.
"What's this, Ursor?" Ray wondered.
"Dizzi's got something." Kenny said.
"Uh, yeah. Karl also appears to have a vicious bit beast as well. I just haven't got a clue what it is." Dizzi said.
"Just what I was waiting for. Go, Dranzer!" Kai called out.
Kai's beyblade's bit glowed and his fire red phoenix, Dranzer came out, surrounded by fire.
"Dranzer, flame saber attack!" Kai commanded.
Kai's beyblade spun at full speed to the arena's edge at full speed and flew into the air. Once the blade was falling back onto the arena, fire surrounded it and Dranzer that was still there was soaring at Karl's blade with Kai's beyblade.
"Way to go Kai! There's no way Karl's going to survive that!" Max cheered.
"So that's Dranzer's flame saber. I've heard of it once, but I didn't believe it to be that strong." Mike said amazed.
"Be careful Karl!" Rio warned.
"Don't worry about that." Karl said and was still amazed by Dranzer and its attack. "Ursor, defense!" Karl commanded.
Karl's beyblade started glowing orange from its bit, but his bit-beast didn't appear yet. Karl's beyblade started staying in the middle of the arena again. Kai's blade fell on to Karl's blade with great force. Fire was flying a bit and then Kai's blade was back on the arena, while Karl's blade was wobbling a bit.
"Still standing eh? I'll fix that. Dranzer, attack! Fire arrow!" Kai commanded.
Dranzer was still out and fire surrounded Kai's blade again. Kai's beyblade rushed straight at Karl's.
"Ursor, lunar slash attack!" Karl commanded his blade.
Karl's beyblade started glowing orange again. This time a huge bear rose out of it. It had steel armor on its back and head. It had bracelets around its legs and its front paws had really long claws. It roared like a big grizzly bear.
"Whoa! That's an ugly animal Karl's got there. And its power is rising!" Dizzi warned.
Karl's beyblade went next to Kai's blade and started crashing onto it so much that it looked like it was attached to Kai's blade. Seen above the beyblades, Ursor was slashing Dranzer ballistic. Kai's beyblade was starting to wobble.
"What is this!?" Kai panicked.
"Kai, Dizzi wants you to hear something." Kenny informed.
Kai listened and still looked at the match.
"I just uploaded and found out something about Ursor's slash attack. Karl's beyblade constantly keeps switching spin direction and causes the opponents blades to cease spin power. I'd hate to say this, but Kai's in trouble." Dizzi explained.
"Now, Ursor attack!" Karl commanded.
Karl's blade stopped crashing onto Kai's and went farther away from it. Suddenly Karl's blade started to head straight at Kai's blade again, but this time it moved a lot faster.
"Mrrr. Dranzer, spiral survivor!" Kai commanded.
A bluish flame spiral surrounded Dranzer and Kai's blade. As Karl's beyblade charged at Kai's blade and crashed onto it, the force of Karl's attack and Dranzer's spiral survivor caused both blades to fly out of the arena and fall on the ground. Both blades let out smoke.
"A... tie? Kai tied?" Tyson was shocked.
"Man. Kai survived Karl's lunar slash." Rio was also shocked a bit.
There was a moment of silence.
"Good game Kai." Karl said as he held out his hand to shake hands with Kai.
Kai didn't shake hands. He turned around in his rude way with his eyes closed.
"Whatever. In the tournament I wont go easy on you. You should remember that." Kai said.
"Well that was rude." Ann said.
"Guess we should be heading back to our hotel guys." Rio said to his teammates.
"Hey guys." Tyson said.
"Yes?" Rio asked.
"It was fun blading with you guys. I hope we meet at the tournament." Tyson said with his thumb up.
"We had fun too. And you'll definitely see us at the tournament. We have heard that the best teams in the world have entered, so you guys better keep your guards up." Rio said.
"Thanks for the warning. See ya." Tyson said.
"Yeah. Heippa." Rio said. The Kalevalans started walking to the left.
"What does that that mean?" Max managed to ask Ann.
"It means "bye" in Finnish." Ann answered.
"Hey, guys. I think we should head back too." Ray said.
"You're right Ray. I'm getting hungry." Tyson said.
Ray, Max, Kai and Kenny anime sweat dropped.
"We were actually wondering when you were going to say that." Max said, scratching the back of his head.
"This is actually a good day. We've been in Finland only for a couple of hours and we already met this country's best beybladers." Kenny said.
Later, back at the hotel. The Bladebreakers were in their room sitting on their beds and chairs.
"Aww. It's hard to find any TV shows that are in English." Tyson complained.
"Well, we are in Finland Tyson." Max said.
"I wonder if the White tigers entered." Ray said while looking out the window.
"Yeah. Or the All starz." Max said.
Down in the hotel's gym. (Since some hotels have gyms) The Kalevalans were training in the gym. They were all wearing gymnastic clothing. They were doing stretches, push-ups, sit ups etc.
"Hope we face the Bladebreakers again soon. It was fun battling and we witnessed two of their specialties." Rio thought, while doing sit ups.
