Chapter 5: The Destroyer's destructive victory.
"Hello viewers! This is Brad Best coming to you live from Helsinki's Bridge stadium. The incredibly lifelike architecture of this stadium is just breath taking because of the dim hall lights, stone walls and wooden seat rows."
"Like we all saw the first match between the Kalevalans and the All starz, it was a totally new experience for this small country. But lets get ready to see the next battle between the White tigers and the mysterious Destroyers." A.J Topper announced.
The crowd cheered. The Kalevalans and the White tigers were in a readying room.
"So Rio, do you know anything about those Destroyers? We've never heard about them so we think they might be Finnish as well." Lee said.
"To be honest, I don't know anything about the Destroyers either. The players do look familiar somehow, but I doubt they're my old schoolmates." Rio said holding his chin.
"School mates?" Karl asked Rio.
"Yeah. There were these four schoolmates that were really mean to me. But it can't be them. They couldn't beat me even when I didn't have my bit beast yet." Rio explained.
"Say, where's Mariah?" Ann asked Lee.
"I think she went to the bathroom." Lee said.
"Well she better hurry up. The battle between you and the Destroyers will begin in... oh never mind. It starts in fifteen minutes." Mike said looking at his digital watch.
Mariah was walking in a hallway to the readying room. She didn't notice that there was someone sneaking behind her. Suddenly a sound of a ripcord was heard and suddenly before Mariah had a chance to look behind her, a dark purple beyblade flew and hit Mariah's right arm. Mariah yelled in pain as she dropped on her knees and held her right arm. There was blood coming out of the wound. The assailant was gone and the beyblade that hit Mariah's arm spun away into the direction where Mariah came from.
"Who yelled like that?" Karl wondered.
"...That was Mariah." Rio said as he snapped out of his thoughts.
"Mariah?" Lee wondered.
Mariah walked into the room holding her right arm. Everyone in the room was startled.
"Mariah, what happened to your arm?" Kevin asked worried. "I was attacked by a beyblader. Someone fired a beyblade at me and then ran away with his or her beyblade following him." Mariah explained.
"So you didn't see the one who attacked you?" Ann asked.
"No."
"Well with a wound like that we have to get you to a hospital." Lee said.
"But the tournament." Kevin reminded.
"Don't forfeit. You don't know where the city hospital is." Rio said.
"Then I'll take her there." Ann stepped up. "Rio, give me your headband so we can stop Mariah's wound from bleeding."
"Alright, but you owe me a new headband. And it better be white and blue like this one." Rio said as he took off his headband.
Ann snapped and tied the headband around Mariah's arm.
"Guys, win it for us." Mariah said to her teammates.
Ann and Mariah walked out the room.
"Well we're off. Good luck guys. We're sure Mariah's arm will recover in a few days so she will be playing in this tournament." Rio said and then walked out with his teammates.
"Thanks Rio." Lee said.
The Bladebreakers were sitting in the same seat row. Kenny had prepared his laptop to analyze the Destroyer's moves. Tyson was still mad at the Kalevalans for Ann's joke.
The Kalevalans sat in the same seat row as the Majestics.
"So Robert, when is your team's first battle?" Mike asked. He was sitting next to Robert.
"Well, our team's going to battle the Bladebreakers after the Demolition boys have had their battle. I think I heard that they're going against you." Robert said.
"We know. Rio isn't too happy about it, since he has never had any opposite thoughts of them. But me, Ann and Karl don't see anything wrong with them." Mike said.
"Well you didn't see the destruction they caused in the Russian tournament. But if that was true that they've made changes in their ways." Robert said.
The White tigers and the mysterious Destroyers walked to their booth. The Destroyers had four players like most teams. They all were about thirteen or fourteen in age. The first one had black hair that was spiky from the back. He wore a red t-shirt and black winter pants and brown boots. The second boy was really tall. He had short, blond hair and wore a gray t- shirt and black winter pants and blue sneakers. The third one was also a boy and wore a green, long sleeved t-shirt and gray jeans. His hair was dark brown. The last member was a girl, who had blonde hair that was put into a ponytail. She wore a black t-shirt with a skull picture on it. She was also wearing light blue jeans. The first boy was carrying a whip, the tall one was wielding a machinegun but it had a mini gun's pipes on it and the middle of the pipes was wider. The third boy was wielding a silver colored pistol with a beyblade attachment on its top. The girl was wielding a blue slide launcher witch had a black ripcord. (A slide launcher also looks like a gun shooter except the part where you put the ripcord is really near the beyblade attachment.)
"So those are the Destroyers." Ray said.
"Those are the mysterious beybladers? I just don't get how they got into this tournament in the first place?" Max wondered.
"Even Dizzi doesn't have anything about them. Looks like we all now have our work cut out." Kenny said, checking his computer files.
"But why isn't Mariah with the White tigers?" Tyson wondered.
"Mariah was attacked by a mysterious beyblader." Someone said from behind the Bladebreakers.
The Bladebreakers looked back and saw the Kalevalans.
"Attacked? Where is she now? And where's Ann?" Ray asked.
"Ann took her to the hospital. We didn't want the White tigers to forfeit, so she took Mariah there." Rio explained.
"That's terrible! How bad was Mariah's wound?" Max asked.
"We're not sure. Ann tied Rio's headband around her wound, but it looked pretty bad. She might have to get stitches." Karl said.
"But what's wrong with Tyson?" Mike asked.
Tyson was sitting on his seat and didn't say anything.
"Maybe it would be best to leave him alone. He has a small problem that he's keeping to himself." Kai said as he turned to watch the battle.
"Hello again ladies and gentlemen! I bet you're all very excited on the next event! Let me introduce, the mighty White tigers and the mysterious Destroyers!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
"I can see that the teams are ready, but where's Mariah? She has always battled first or second so she better hurry up." Brad Best announced.
"While we wait for her lets bring out the next dish that the teams get to roll in shall we?" A.J. Topper asked the crowd.
The middle of the arena opened up again. This arena looked like a miniature version of Helsinki harbor, so there was nothing really special about it.
"This is the harbor dish. This dish is made to look like the harbor f Helsinki. Half of the dish has the miniatures of the president's castle and all other old building at Helsinki, while the other half of the dish is just a deep pool of water with small island pieces to spin on. This dish was planned just for this tournament." A.J. Topper explained.
"Alright! Now lets meet the first two competitors from each team! The first up from the White tigers, Gary!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
Gary's stats are shown.
"Alright Gary! He is the mighty attacker of the White tiger team with his strong attack and poor speed. Gary's bit beast Gallzy is also well known for its great power and scary looks." Brad Best explained.
"And from the Destroyers, Jake!" Brad best announced.
"Jake?" Rio wondered.
Jake's stats are shown. Jake's attack had four stars, his defense had three stars and his speed had only two stars.
"Jake is completely a mystery for us all. All I can say is that he just seems to pack a punch and his blade packs a mysterious bit beast, Metal Ursor." A.J. Topper explained
A picture of a metallic bear with a large blade sticking out of its back is shown on the screen. On the bottom left corner of the screen read 'Pummel driver'.
"That can't be the Jake I know. He doesn't have a bit beast." Rio said under his breath.
"Beybladers set? All right! Three... two... one... Let it rip!"
Gary and Jake launched their beyblades. Jake launched his blade by pulling his gun shooter's trigger and the attachments with the beyblade attached to it swooped to the front of the gun's pipe and fired the beyblade. Gary's blade went straight into crashing on to Jake's dark green beyblade.
"Gary's sure kicking in already." Max said.
"Dizzi's data says that Gary's going to win this one. Gary's attack is going right through Jake's defense. But Gary should hurry up." Kenny explained.
"We know. Gary's blade's not meant for speed." Ray finished what Kenny was going to say.
"So Gary, have you toyed enough? Could we get down to business?" Jake asked.
"Bear axe!" Gary commanded.
Gallzy rose out of Gary's beyblade and made a scary roar like a bear. Gary's beyblade started jumping on the arena and every time the blade hit the arena, the floor shook.
"Pathetic." Jake said.
"What?" Gary was confused.
"Rise Metal Ursor!" Jake commanded.
Jake's beyblade bit glowed silver. A gigantic metallic bear rose out. Its entire body was metallic and its front paws had claws that looked like metal blades. Metal Ursor had spikes around its neck and a huge blade sticking out of its back. It also had large incisors sticking out of its mouth. It was larger than any bit beast all the bladers had seen. Its eyes had no pupils and looked somehow lifeless.
"What the? That beast looks like Ursor. Except its metallic. There can't be two Ursors." Karl said shocked.
"Hey Karl. That is not an average bit beast. It's a mutant bit beast." Kenny said to Karl.
"Mutant bit beast?" Mike wondered.
"The bit beasts the Demolition boys use are also like mutants. This just can't be created by Biovolt." Robert said as he looked at the enormous beast.
"Metal Ursor, pummel driver attack!" Jake commanded.
Metal Ursor lift its front paws and they started producing dark green lightning bolts. Then it slashed Galzzy with a powerful blow, causing Galzzy to disappear back into Gary's beyblade. Then Jake's beyblade crashed onto Gary's and caused Gary's blade to fly out of the dish.
"Gary's blade is out! The winner of session one is Jake!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
There was little cheering.
"Just cheer for the Kalevalans. The Destroyers are taking the gold and we'll become the world champions. Thanks to Boris and our mighty bit beasts." Jake thought to himself.
"Unbelievable!" Kenny said as he saw Jake's power readings.
"What is it chief?" Tyson asked.
"Jake's power readings rose up to the top with one slow attack! We're doomed." Kenny said.
"To the top? No wonder the Destroyers are in this tournament. But I'm sure someone will find a weakness." Max said in his optimistic way.
"Well I hope so. Even we wont stand up to that." Ray said.
"Well folks. There's really something you don't see every day." Brad Best said
"That's right Brad. That does explain how the Destroyers got to this tournament. But seeing such a large bit beast was sure scary." A.J Topper said.
"But with that over, lets see who are playing next." Brad Best said.
"Okay beyblade fans now let me introduce, Kevin from the White tigers!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
Kevin's stats and bit beast are shown.
"Kevin has rarely played in big tournaments like this one. But I guess he'll have to because of Mariah's absence. He's known as the White tigers weakest, but he can really play tricks with his bit beast Galman." Brad Best explained.
"And from the Destroyers, Ronny!" D.J Jazzman announced.
"What in the world? Such coincidences." Rio said.
Ronny's stat's are shown. Ronny's attack has three stars and his defense and speed have four stars.
"Ronny's also totally unknown to the us, but his stats sure look sweet. And he is also said to possess a bit beast, Metal Serpor." A.J. Topper explained.
A large metallic serpent's picture is shown. On the bottom left corner read 'Fusion X'.
"Beybladers set! And three... two... one... Let it rip!"
Kevin and Ronny fired their beyblades. Ronny fired his beyblade with his mini gun shooter. The beyblade flew out of the wide hole in the middle on the gun's pipes. Kevin's blade landed safetly on the concrete floor on the arena, but for some reason Ronny had fired his beyblade into the water part of the arena.
"Bad aim you've got there." Kevin said.
"Metal Serpor attack!" Ronny commanded.
Ronny's beyblade jumped from the water and charged at Kevin's blade. Kevin's blade dodged Ronny's blade easily.
"Nice dodge squirt. But you don't seem to know that your beyblade's already wobbling." Ronny said.
"That's not a big surprise." Kevin said as he smirked.
Kevin's beyblade started spinning in perfect balance again. Ronny's blade kept on charging at Kevin's but it kept on dodging.
"Man! I thought you'd be as easy as that Gary guy." Ronny said.
"Well I've improved. Now I'll show you how the monkey's dance. Crazy monkey attack!" Kevin commanded.
Kevin's beyblade's bit glowed and his Galman rose out, screeching like a monkey. Suddenly Galman created four copies of itself. Now it looked like Kevin had five beyblades spinning at the same time.
"Two can play at that game! Metal Serpor, fusion X!" Ronny commanded.
Ronny's beyblade bit glowed silver and then a metallic serpent rose out. It was so huge that it almost reached the room's roof. It had metal blades sticking out of its head and had larger fins than the normal Serpor's and had a larger tail fin with spikes on it. It had enormous fangs in its mouth and its eyes also looked lifeless. It roared like a dragon.
"Oh no!" Kevin said loudly. Ronny's beyblade charged at Kevin's blade with lightning surrounding it. Anything that got in its way was fried. With great speed Kevin's blade managed to dodge the attack and caused Ronny's blade to crash onto one of the miniature buildings. When the smoke had cleared, Ronny's beyblade was not damaged but it was wobbling badly.
"Unbelievable! You survived my fusion X?" Ronny was shocked.
"Alright Galman, finish him off!" Kevin commanded.
Kevin's blade and its four copies started pummeling Ronny's black blade until it finally stopped spinning.
"And the winner of session two is Kevin!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
"Kevin won?" Lee said surprised.
"So who's the tough guy now huh?" Kevin asked Ronny.
"Humph! You wont be so lucky the next time we meet. And your team will never make it to the finals." Ronny said angered.
Kevin walked back to his teammates.
"Lee?" Kevin asked, as Lee was still surprised.
"Good job Kevin. You've proven that you are stronger than you look." Lee said nicely to Kevin.
"Thanks Lee. That means a lot to me." Kevin said.
"What is with those metallic bit beasts? They look so familiar." Tyson said.
"They're like our bit beasts." Rio finally said.
"Wha?" Tyson asked.
"Don't you see? They may be metallic and huge, but they look completely like our bit beasts. I'm starting to suspect that someone has created those beasts. Which mean they're not ones born from the earth itself." Rio said.
"Artificial beasts. They're artificial bit beasts created by scientists. No bit beast can have so much power in such a short time." Ray said.
At the same time Ann and Mariah walked to the seat row and sat down on the same seat row the Kalevalans were sitting on.
"Mariah, are you alright?" Ray asked.
"I'm fine, but I wont be able to beyblade for a week because I got stitches. But I just want to know who are winning." Mariah said.
"They're even. But you should have seen those incredible bit beasts. They were gigantic." Tyson said as he thought of the two mystery bit beasts. "Alright viewers! Here comes the third and final match between the two teams! First up from the White tigers, give it up for Lee!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
Lee's stats are shown.
"Lee now has the chance to win it for his team. His beyblade skills and bit beast Galeon have always been feared." Brad Best explained.
"And from the Destroyers, the mighty, Marcus!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
"This isn't right." Rio said.
"What is it Rio?" Robert asked.
"Those four beybladers... are my old school bullies." Rio said shocked.
"What?" Mike asked.
"It has to be them. They've always had a lust for power in the sport of beyblading. Once when I first battled here in the bridge stadium, they also competed. Marcus however stole Hawkor once and thought that anyone can control a bit beast. Unfortunately Hawkor turned immediately against Marcus and crushed his beyblade and Marcus's opponent. He was disqualified for stealing other people's blades and tools." Rio explained.
"Rio had his bit beast stolen as well? Maybe I've been wrong accusing the Kalevalans to be cheaters. After this match I'm apologizing to him. And that's a promise." Tyson thought to himself.
"Hey Rio. I'm sure Lee can stand a chance against this Marcus. You haven't seen what Lee and his bit beast can do." Tyson said.
"Don't be so sure Tyson." Kai said.
"What do you mean Kai?" Tyson asked.
"Didn't you see those massive attacks their bit beasts pulled? Lee wont stand a chance, like we wont either." Kai said lowering his head.
"Not quite Kai. Dizzi's been doing some analyzing here and we came up with some good strategies." Kenny said.
"That's right chief. Jake's Metal Ursor has a weakness to speed since his beyblade spins for a very short period of time and Metal Ursor's pummel driver was also really slow. Galzzy lost since he is too slow as well. And the best defense against Metal Serpor is defensive power. Metal Ursor may look like a tough nut to crack, but if you understand its battle style, you'll learn to defeat it and the same goes for Metal Serpor." Dizzi explained.
"So Draciel can withstand that fusion x attack? Too cool." Max said.
"I gotta get me one of those laptops." Mike joked.
Marcus's stats are shown. Suddenly all the bladers are shocked. All of Marcus's stats have four stars.
"Marcus appears to have the highest stats we've ever seen. He may be a mystery, but he's a tough mystery. And that goes double for his bit beast Metal Hawkor." A.J. Topper explained.
The screen then shows a picture of a metallic bird with razor like feathers in its wings and head. Its tail feathers looked like sword blades and there was a red jewel in the middle of its chest. On the bottom left corner of the screen read 'Pylon warhead'.
"3... 2... 1... Let it rip!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
Lee and Marcus fired their beyblades. Marcus's shooter was a chain whip with a beyblade attachment attached to the handle. Marcus fired his blade by hitting the whip's tip on to a place he wanted the blade to spin on and the beyblade attachment slid to the whip's tip and released the beyblade.
"After this match, I'm going to have a little talk with Marcus about how he got his bit beast." Rio said as he looked at the match.
Lee and Marcus's blades started crashing against each other immediately. Marcus's attack seemed more effective, as his blade was continuously pushing Lee's back.
"So Lee. How 'bout you give up? You wont win whatever you throw at me." Marcus said confidently.
"Mrrr! "I'll show you! Galeon, dark lightning!" Lee commanded.
Lee's beyblade's bit glowed as Galeon rose out.
"Ooo. Nice kitty cat you got there. Does it purr?" Marcus asked evilly.
Suddenly dark lightning bolts surrounded Lee's beyblade. Lee's blade charged at Marcus's and crashed onto it. Marcus's blade got pushed back and it wobbled a bit but suddenly spun like it did in the beginning of the match.
"No way!" Lee said loud as he saw that his mighty attack had no effect on his opponent.
"Are you done playing around? Will you surrender now?" Marcus asked confidently again.
"Grr! Take this!" Lee yelled out loud.
Lee's beyblade started jumping. Every time it hit the arena's floor, the ground shook, meaning he was using Gary's bear axe attack. Lee's attack finally hit Marcus's blade and made it wobble again. Then Lee's beyblade started wobbling suspiciously as four copies of it appeared. The beyblade and the four copies started crashing onto Marcus's blade and made it wobble even more, meaning he was now using the crazy monkey attack. Then Lee's beyblade started slashing Marcus's blade super fast, which meant he was using Mariah's scratch attack. Finally Lee finished the attack with another dark lightning. After the smoke had cleared, Marcus's beyblade was wobbling badly. Lee smirked, revealing his fangs. Suddenly Marcus's beyblade started spinning in perfect balance again. Lee gasped.
"What sort of blade is Marcus using? It seems to have the ultimate defense." Max said.
"His beyblade... is a full combination with the best stats of offence and defense. See as Lee made every White tiger signature move and Marcus's blade just keeps on spinning. There's no way Lee can win." Kenny explained.
"Lee hasn't tried the tiger claw yet. It's his only chance to win." Ray said.
"Galeon, tiger claw!" Lee commanded.
Lee's beyblade made an incredibly fast charge at Marcus's and crashed onto it with great force. Marcus's blade flew and hit one of the arena's miniatures and caused a big dust cloud. As the smoke cleared, Marcus's beyblade was wobbling and didn't seem to get its balance back.
"So how do you like that? Guess I only needed some time to figure out your weakness and since you wouldn't finish me off when you had the chance. Now to finish you off. Galeon!" Lee yelled.
Galeon rose and charged straight at Marcus's blade.
"Hmm. Alright. Then we'll do it your way. Metal Hawkor, pylon warhead!" Marcus commanded.
Marcus's beyblade's bit glowed silver and the gigantic metal bird, Metal Hawkor rose spreading its wings. It was the size of Metal Ursor and its wings almost reached the audience.
"Unbelievable. That things way bigger than the average Hawkor." Tyson said amazed.
"Oh man. Lee's Galeon wont stand a chance against that." Max said as he looked down on Galeon.
Galeon was a Hercules beetle compared to Metal Hawkor. Marcus's beyblade's base started producing blue lightning bolts and the attack ring started glowing brightly. Marcus's beyblade leaped into the air and started falling at Lee's blade. At the same time Metal Hawkor was soaring straight at Galeon. Finally Marcus's beyblade crashed onto Lee's and Metal Hawkor crushed Galeon with his metallic head. As the smoke cleared, Lee's beyblade's attack ring was completely shattered and Galeon's bit laid in front of Lee's beyblade. Marcus's blade was spinning in top speed next to Lee's blade. Suddenly Marcus's beyblade crashed onto what was left of Lee's beyblade and shattered it completely. Marcus laughed evilly as Lee in disgrace was on his knees, frightened of Marcus's power.
And the winner of session three is Marcus!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
"Whoa! Lee's Galeon did not survive against Marcus's powerful pylon warhead." Brad Best said.
"This can't be! He wasted my beyblade to an even more bad condition than Black Dranzer." Lee said as he looked at Galeon's bit.
"Uh, Brad. I don't think anything could stand a chance against that." A.J. Topper said.
"I'll take that." Marcus said as he grabbed Galeon's bit.
"No! You wont take Galeon!" Lee said as he tried to snatch Galeon back, but Marcus just fled to his teammates cowardly.
"Galeon!" Lee yelled in sorrow.
The Destroyers just looked at Lee and laughed evilly as they started walking to the exit.
"Hey, I don't think that should be right." Brad Best said seriously.
"Someone stop those crazy bladers!" A.J. Topper said.
"That does it!" Rio said loudly as he ran out the audience.
"I'm not letting them take my friend's bit beast. Not this time." Ray said as he followed Rio.
The Destroyers were walking to the readying room. Suddenly two beyblades flew at Marcus and knocked Galeon's bit out of his hands. The beyblades were Ray's and Rio's. Ray and Rio stood in front of the cruel team. Ray picked up Galeon's bit and pocketed it. Both Ray and Rio were raged at the cite of the Destroyers. Ray and Rio's blades spun back to their owners.
"Hey you! Give me that bit back!" Marcus said angrily.
"Sorry. But you're not taking my friends bit beast. He had already lost it once, so I'm not letting it happen again." Ray said.
"Ooo. You're a tough guy aren't you? Oh. I see you've befriended with what's his name." Ronny said rudely.
Rio tightened his grip on his shooter as his teeth were bit together tightly. (Rio had his average shooter now.)
"You have some explaining to do. Why did you steal Lee's bit beast and where did you obtain bit beasts of your own?" Rio asked as he attached his beyblade onto his shooter.
"Why should we tell you? A weakling who had a crush on ME doesn't deserve to know." Nicole said.
"I actually think he doesn't deserve to beyblade, he's totally weak with that average Hawkor of his." Jake said as he chuckled.
"What are they saying?" Ray asked Rio.
"I...I used to have a crush on Nicole. I always thought that she was a nice and sweet girl as she talked with her friends. As I finally told her that I like her and I told her that I'll become the beyblade world champion... our rivalry begun." Rio said.
(Flashback)
Rio's talking to Nicole in front of a small building.
"Hey Nicole. I promise that I'll become the beyblade champion of the world. With my beyblade, Hawkor and my good teammates by my side I'll bring home the gold. You can wish me luck and after I return home, I'll take you on a date." Rio said confidently.
"Ha! You, the world champion? Don't make me laugh. You're the most pitiful blader I've ever met. And why would I go on a date with you?" Nicole asked coldly.
"Wha? You saw me defeat all those other contenders this week. How can I be pitiful? Sure I may have had a little trouble, but with Mike, Karl and Ann by my side, we all will become champions and bring honor to our country. And why are you acting so cold?" Rio asked.
"Because you're just a pathetic little worm. When you go out in to the world, your team will lose the first match. And your team name sucks. Kalevalans. I've always seen you as a moron." Nicole said even coldly or actually evilly.
Rio's arm started shaking. Rio's face now looked out raged.
"Fine! Don't come crawling back to me when I've won! Heartless!" Rio said as he walked away.
(End flashback)
"Well Rio. You're not the champion. We heard you chickened out when the championships were held. Instead you just lazed in Australia." Nicole said.
"My team had entered an extra tournament. And the reason we didn't enter was because of the Demolition boys. I didn't want to loose Hawkor. You guys seem worse than the Demolition boys did back then." Rio said.
The Destroyers just laughed.
"Fine! I'll just beat one of you and show you how strong I am." Rio said as he went into his shooting position.
"We don't have time for you. We need to prepare for our battle against the All starz." Ronny said.
"And we'll win it for sure." Jake said.
"Don't even think you'll beat Emily and Michael. I've known them for some time now. You saw that our power was even." Rio said extremely angered.
"Yeah, cause you both are weaklings. Ha ha haa." Marcus laughed.
The Destroyers walked into the readying room.
"Those are the most cruel beybladers I've seen. No wonder you hate them so much." Ray said.
"We'll I should go prepare for our battle against the Demolition boys." Rio said as he started walking to a different readying room.
"I should return Galeon to Lee." Ray said under his breath and walked to the White tigers readying room.
In the White tiger's readying room. Lee is sitting on a chair with his head down. Ray walks in.
"Ray. Where were you?" Mariah asked.
"I was busy getting Galeon back for Lee." Ray said as he took Galeon's bit from his pocket.
"Galeon? You recovered Galeon. Thanks Ray. I just can't believe we're dealing with a new team that seems to be after bit beasts." Lee said as he walked to Ray.
Ray gave Lee Galeon's bit.
"I tried asking the Destroyers about why they stole Galeon, but they didn't answer. All I now know is that those bladers have hearts of ice." Ray said.
"Hello viewers! This is Brad Best coming to you live from Helsinki's Bridge stadium. The incredibly lifelike architecture of this stadium is just breath taking because of the dim hall lights, stone walls and wooden seat rows."
"Like we all saw the first match between the Kalevalans and the All starz, it was a totally new experience for this small country. But lets get ready to see the next battle between the White tigers and the mysterious Destroyers." A.J Topper announced.
The crowd cheered. The Kalevalans and the White tigers were in a readying room.
"So Rio, do you know anything about those Destroyers? We've never heard about them so we think they might be Finnish as well." Lee said.
"To be honest, I don't know anything about the Destroyers either. The players do look familiar somehow, but I doubt they're my old schoolmates." Rio said holding his chin.
"School mates?" Karl asked Rio.
"Yeah. There were these four schoolmates that were really mean to me. But it can't be them. They couldn't beat me even when I didn't have my bit beast yet." Rio explained.
"Say, where's Mariah?" Ann asked Lee.
"I think she went to the bathroom." Lee said.
"Well she better hurry up. The battle between you and the Destroyers will begin in... oh never mind. It starts in fifteen minutes." Mike said looking at his digital watch.
Mariah was walking in a hallway to the readying room. She didn't notice that there was someone sneaking behind her. Suddenly a sound of a ripcord was heard and suddenly before Mariah had a chance to look behind her, a dark purple beyblade flew and hit Mariah's right arm. Mariah yelled in pain as she dropped on her knees and held her right arm. There was blood coming out of the wound. The assailant was gone and the beyblade that hit Mariah's arm spun away into the direction where Mariah came from.
"Who yelled like that?" Karl wondered.
"...That was Mariah." Rio said as he snapped out of his thoughts.
"Mariah?" Lee wondered.
Mariah walked into the room holding her right arm. Everyone in the room was startled.
"Mariah, what happened to your arm?" Kevin asked worried. "I was attacked by a beyblader. Someone fired a beyblade at me and then ran away with his or her beyblade following him." Mariah explained.
"So you didn't see the one who attacked you?" Ann asked.
"No."
"Well with a wound like that we have to get you to a hospital." Lee said.
"But the tournament." Kevin reminded.
"Don't forfeit. You don't know where the city hospital is." Rio said.
"Then I'll take her there." Ann stepped up. "Rio, give me your headband so we can stop Mariah's wound from bleeding."
"Alright, but you owe me a new headband. And it better be white and blue like this one." Rio said as he took off his headband.
Ann snapped and tied the headband around Mariah's arm.
"Guys, win it for us." Mariah said to her teammates.
Ann and Mariah walked out the room.
"Well we're off. Good luck guys. We're sure Mariah's arm will recover in a few days so she will be playing in this tournament." Rio said and then walked out with his teammates.
"Thanks Rio." Lee said.
The Bladebreakers were sitting in the same seat row. Kenny had prepared his laptop to analyze the Destroyer's moves. Tyson was still mad at the Kalevalans for Ann's joke.
The Kalevalans sat in the same seat row as the Majestics.
"So Robert, when is your team's first battle?" Mike asked. He was sitting next to Robert.
"Well, our team's going to battle the Bladebreakers after the Demolition boys have had their battle. I think I heard that they're going against you." Robert said.
"We know. Rio isn't too happy about it, since he has never had any opposite thoughts of them. But me, Ann and Karl don't see anything wrong with them." Mike said.
"Well you didn't see the destruction they caused in the Russian tournament. But if that was true that they've made changes in their ways." Robert said.
The White tigers and the mysterious Destroyers walked to their booth. The Destroyers had four players like most teams. They all were about thirteen or fourteen in age. The first one had black hair that was spiky from the back. He wore a red t-shirt and black winter pants and brown boots. The second boy was really tall. He had short, blond hair and wore a gray t- shirt and black winter pants and blue sneakers. The third one was also a boy and wore a green, long sleeved t-shirt and gray jeans. His hair was dark brown. The last member was a girl, who had blonde hair that was put into a ponytail. She wore a black t-shirt with a skull picture on it. She was also wearing light blue jeans. The first boy was carrying a whip, the tall one was wielding a machinegun but it had a mini gun's pipes on it and the middle of the pipes was wider. The third boy was wielding a silver colored pistol with a beyblade attachment on its top. The girl was wielding a blue slide launcher witch had a black ripcord. (A slide launcher also looks like a gun shooter except the part where you put the ripcord is really near the beyblade attachment.)
"So those are the Destroyers." Ray said.
"Those are the mysterious beybladers? I just don't get how they got into this tournament in the first place?" Max wondered.
"Even Dizzi doesn't have anything about them. Looks like we all now have our work cut out." Kenny said, checking his computer files.
"But why isn't Mariah with the White tigers?" Tyson wondered.
"Mariah was attacked by a mysterious beyblader." Someone said from behind the Bladebreakers.
The Bladebreakers looked back and saw the Kalevalans.
"Attacked? Where is she now? And where's Ann?" Ray asked.
"Ann took her to the hospital. We didn't want the White tigers to forfeit, so she took Mariah there." Rio explained.
"That's terrible! How bad was Mariah's wound?" Max asked.
"We're not sure. Ann tied Rio's headband around her wound, but it looked pretty bad. She might have to get stitches." Karl said.
"But what's wrong with Tyson?" Mike asked.
Tyson was sitting on his seat and didn't say anything.
"Maybe it would be best to leave him alone. He has a small problem that he's keeping to himself." Kai said as he turned to watch the battle.
"Hello again ladies and gentlemen! I bet you're all very excited on the next event! Let me introduce, the mighty White tigers and the mysterious Destroyers!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
"I can see that the teams are ready, but where's Mariah? She has always battled first or second so she better hurry up." Brad Best announced.
"While we wait for her lets bring out the next dish that the teams get to roll in shall we?" A.J. Topper asked the crowd.
The middle of the arena opened up again. This arena looked like a miniature version of Helsinki harbor, so there was nothing really special about it.
"This is the harbor dish. This dish is made to look like the harbor f Helsinki. Half of the dish has the miniatures of the president's castle and all other old building at Helsinki, while the other half of the dish is just a deep pool of water with small island pieces to spin on. This dish was planned just for this tournament." A.J. Topper explained.
"Alright! Now lets meet the first two competitors from each team! The first up from the White tigers, Gary!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
Gary's stats are shown.
"Alright Gary! He is the mighty attacker of the White tiger team with his strong attack and poor speed. Gary's bit beast Gallzy is also well known for its great power and scary looks." Brad Best explained.
"And from the Destroyers, Jake!" Brad best announced.
"Jake?" Rio wondered.
Jake's stats are shown. Jake's attack had four stars, his defense had three stars and his speed had only two stars.
"Jake is completely a mystery for us all. All I can say is that he just seems to pack a punch and his blade packs a mysterious bit beast, Metal Ursor." A.J. Topper explained
A picture of a metallic bear with a large blade sticking out of its back is shown on the screen. On the bottom left corner of the screen read 'Pummel driver'.
"That can't be the Jake I know. He doesn't have a bit beast." Rio said under his breath.
"Beybladers set? All right! Three... two... one... Let it rip!"
Gary and Jake launched their beyblades. Jake launched his blade by pulling his gun shooter's trigger and the attachments with the beyblade attached to it swooped to the front of the gun's pipe and fired the beyblade. Gary's blade went straight into crashing on to Jake's dark green beyblade.
"Gary's sure kicking in already." Max said.
"Dizzi's data says that Gary's going to win this one. Gary's attack is going right through Jake's defense. But Gary should hurry up." Kenny explained.
"We know. Gary's blade's not meant for speed." Ray finished what Kenny was going to say.
"So Gary, have you toyed enough? Could we get down to business?" Jake asked.
"Bear axe!" Gary commanded.
Gallzy rose out of Gary's beyblade and made a scary roar like a bear. Gary's beyblade started jumping on the arena and every time the blade hit the arena, the floor shook.
"Pathetic." Jake said.
"What?" Gary was confused.
"Rise Metal Ursor!" Jake commanded.
Jake's beyblade bit glowed silver. A gigantic metallic bear rose out. Its entire body was metallic and its front paws had claws that looked like metal blades. Metal Ursor had spikes around its neck and a huge blade sticking out of its back. It also had large incisors sticking out of its mouth. It was larger than any bit beast all the bladers had seen. Its eyes had no pupils and looked somehow lifeless.
"What the? That beast looks like Ursor. Except its metallic. There can't be two Ursors." Karl said shocked.
"Hey Karl. That is not an average bit beast. It's a mutant bit beast." Kenny said to Karl.
"Mutant bit beast?" Mike wondered.
"The bit beasts the Demolition boys use are also like mutants. This just can't be created by Biovolt." Robert said as he looked at the enormous beast.
"Metal Ursor, pummel driver attack!" Jake commanded.
Metal Ursor lift its front paws and they started producing dark green lightning bolts. Then it slashed Galzzy with a powerful blow, causing Galzzy to disappear back into Gary's beyblade. Then Jake's beyblade crashed onto Gary's and caused Gary's blade to fly out of the dish.
"Gary's blade is out! The winner of session one is Jake!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
There was little cheering.
"Just cheer for the Kalevalans. The Destroyers are taking the gold and we'll become the world champions. Thanks to Boris and our mighty bit beasts." Jake thought to himself.
"Unbelievable!" Kenny said as he saw Jake's power readings.
"What is it chief?" Tyson asked.
"Jake's power readings rose up to the top with one slow attack! We're doomed." Kenny said.
"To the top? No wonder the Destroyers are in this tournament. But I'm sure someone will find a weakness." Max said in his optimistic way.
"Well I hope so. Even we wont stand up to that." Ray said.
"Well folks. There's really something you don't see every day." Brad Best said
"That's right Brad. That does explain how the Destroyers got to this tournament. But seeing such a large bit beast was sure scary." A.J Topper said.
"But with that over, lets see who are playing next." Brad Best said.
"Okay beyblade fans now let me introduce, Kevin from the White tigers!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
Kevin's stats and bit beast are shown.
"Kevin has rarely played in big tournaments like this one. But I guess he'll have to because of Mariah's absence. He's known as the White tigers weakest, but he can really play tricks with his bit beast Galman." Brad Best explained.
"And from the Destroyers, Ronny!" D.J Jazzman announced.
"What in the world? Such coincidences." Rio said.
Ronny's stat's are shown. Ronny's attack has three stars and his defense and speed have four stars.
"Ronny's also totally unknown to the us, but his stats sure look sweet. And he is also said to possess a bit beast, Metal Serpor." A.J. Topper explained.
A large metallic serpent's picture is shown. On the bottom left corner read 'Fusion X'.
"Beybladers set! And three... two... one... Let it rip!"
Kevin and Ronny fired their beyblades. Ronny fired his beyblade with his mini gun shooter. The beyblade flew out of the wide hole in the middle on the gun's pipes. Kevin's blade landed safetly on the concrete floor on the arena, but for some reason Ronny had fired his beyblade into the water part of the arena.
"Bad aim you've got there." Kevin said.
"Metal Serpor attack!" Ronny commanded.
Ronny's beyblade jumped from the water and charged at Kevin's blade. Kevin's blade dodged Ronny's blade easily.
"Nice dodge squirt. But you don't seem to know that your beyblade's already wobbling." Ronny said.
"That's not a big surprise." Kevin said as he smirked.
Kevin's beyblade started spinning in perfect balance again. Ronny's blade kept on charging at Kevin's but it kept on dodging.
"Man! I thought you'd be as easy as that Gary guy." Ronny said.
"Well I've improved. Now I'll show you how the monkey's dance. Crazy monkey attack!" Kevin commanded.
Kevin's beyblade's bit glowed and his Galman rose out, screeching like a monkey. Suddenly Galman created four copies of itself. Now it looked like Kevin had five beyblades spinning at the same time.
"Two can play at that game! Metal Serpor, fusion X!" Ronny commanded.
Ronny's beyblade bit glowed silver and then a metallic serpent rose out. It was so huge that it almost reached the room's roof. It had metal blades sticking out of its head and had larger fins than the normal Serpor's and had a larger tail fin with spikes on it. It had enormous fangs in its mouth and its eyes also looked lifeless. It roared like a dragon.
"Oh no!" Kevin said loudly. Ronny's beyblade charged at Kevin's blade with lightning surrounding it. Anything that got in its way was fried. With great speed Kevin's blade managed to dodge the attack and caused Ronny's blade to crash onto one of the miniature buildings. When the smoke had cleared, Ronny's beyblade was not damaged but it was wobbling badly.
"Unbelievable! You survived my fusion X?" Ronny was shocked.
"Alright Galman, finish him off!" Kevin commanded.
Kevin's blade and its four copies started pummeling Ronny's black blade until it finally stopped spinning.
"And the winner of session two is Kevin!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
"Kevin won?" Lee said surprised.
"So who's the tough guy now huh?" Kevin asked Ronny.
"Humph! You wont be so lucky the next time we meet. And your team will never make it to the finals." Ronny said angered.
Kevin walked back to his teammates.
"Lee?" Kevin asked, as Lee was still surprised.
"Good job Kevin. You've proven that you are stronger than you look." Lee said nicely to Kevin.
"Thanks Lee. That means a lot to me." Kevin said.
"What is with those metallic bit beasts? They look so familiar." Tyson said.
"They're like our bit beasts." Rio finally said.
"Wha?" Tyson asked.
"Don't you see? They may be metallic and huge, but they look completely like our bit beasts. I'm starting to suspect that someone has created those beasts. Which mean they're not ones born from the earth itself." Rio said.
"Artificial beasts. They're artificial bit beasts created by scientists. No bit beast can have so much power in such a short time." Ray said.
At the same time Ann and Mariah walked to the seat row and sat down on the same seat row the Kalevalans were sitting on.
"Mariah, are you alright?" Ray asked.
"I'm fine, but I wont be able to beyblade for a week because I got stitches. But I just want to know who are winning." Mariah said.
"They're even. But you should have seen those incredible bit beasts. They were gigantic." Tyson said as he thought of the two mystery bit beasts. "Alright viewers! Here comes the third and final match between the two teams! First up from the White tigers, give it up for Lee!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
Lee's stats are shown.
"Lee now has the chance to win it for his team. His beyblade skills and bit beast Galeon have always been feared." Brad Best explained.
"And from the Destroyers, the mighty, Marcus!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
"This isn't right." Rio said.
"What is it Rio?" Robert asked.
"Those four beybladers... are my old school bullies." Rio said shocked.
"What?" Mike asked.
"It has to be them. They've always had a lust for power in the sport of beyblading. Once when I first battled here in the bridge stadium, they also competed. Marcus however stole Hawkor once and thought that anyone can control a bit beast. Unfortunately Hawkor turned immediately against Marcus and crushed his beyblade and Marcus's opponent. He was disqualified for stealing other people's blades and tools." Rio explained.
"Rio had his bit beast stolen as well? Maybe I've been wrong accusing the Kalevalans to be cheaters. After this match I'm apologizing to him. And that's a promise." Tyson thought to himself.
"Hey Rio. I'm sure Lee can stand a chance against this Marcus. You haven't seen what Lee and his bit beast can do." Tyson said.
"Don't be so sure Tyson." Kai said.
"What do you mean Kai?" Tyson asked.
"Didn't you see those massive attacks their bit beasts pulled? Lee wont stand a chance, like we wont either." Kai said lowering his head.
"Not quite Kai. Dizzi's been doing some analyzing here and we came up with some good strategies." Kenny said.
"That's right chief. Jake's Metal Ursor has a weakness to speed since his beyblade spins for a very short period of time and Metal Ursor's pummel driver was also really slow. Galzzy lost since he is too slow as well. And the best defense against Metal Serpor is defensive power. Metal Ursor may look like a tough nut to crack, but if you understand its battle style, you'll learn to defeat it and the same goes for Metal Serpor." Dizzi explained.
"So Draciel can withstand that fusion x attack? Too cool." Max said.
"I gotta get me one of those laptops." Mike joked.
Marcus's stats are shown. Suddenly all the bladers are shocked. All of Marcus's stats have four stars.
"Marcus appears to have the highest stats we've ever seen. He may be a mystery, but he's a tough mystery. And that goes double for his bit beast Metal Hawkor." A.J. Topper explained.
The screen then shows a picture of a metallic bird with razor like feathers in its wings and head. Its tail feathers looked like sword blades and there was a red jewel in the middle of its chest. On the bottom left corner of the screen read 'Pylon warhead'.
"3... 2... 1... Let it rip!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
Lee and Marcus fired their beyblades. Marcus's shooter was a chain whip with a beyblade attachment attached to the handle. Marcus fired his blade by hitting the whip's tip on to a place he wanted the blade to spin on and the beyblade attachment slid to the whip's tip and released the beyblade.
"After this match, I'm going to have a little talk with Marcus about how he got his bit beast." Rio said as he looked at the match.
Lee and Marcus's blades started crashing against each other immediately. Marcus's attack seemed more effective, as his blade was continuously pushing Lee's back.
"So Lee. How 'bout you give up? You wont win whatever you throw at me." Marcus said confidently.
"Mrrr! "I'll show you! Galeon, dark lightning!" Lee commanded.
Lee's beyblade's bit glowed as Galeon rose out.
"Ooo. Nice kitty cat you got there. Does it purr?" Marcus asked evilly.
Suddenly dark lightning bolts surrounded Lee's beyblade. Lee's blade charged at Marcus's and crashed onto it. Marcus's blade got pushed back and it wobbled a bit but suddenly spun like it did in the beginning of the match.
"No way!" Lee said loud as he saw that his mighty attack had no effect on his opponent.
"Are you done playing around? Will you surrender now?" Marcus asked confidently again.
"Grr! Take this!" Lee yelled out loud.
Lee's beyblade started jumping. Every time it hit the arena's floor, the ground shook, meaning he was using Gary's bear axe attack. Lee's attack finally hit Marcus's blade and made it wobble again. Then Lee's beyblade started wobbling suspiciously as four copies of it appeared. The beyblade and the four copies started crashing onto Marcus's blade and made it wobble even more, meaning he was now using the crazy monkey attack. Then Lee's beyblade started slashing Marcus's blade super fast, which meant he was using Mariah's scratch attack. Finally Lee finished the attack with another dark lightning. After the smoke had cleared, Marcus's beyblade was wobbling badly. Lee smirked, revealing his fangs. Suddenly Marcus's beyblade started spinning in perfect balance again. Lee gasped.
"What sort of blade is Marcus using? It seems to have the ultimate defense." Max said.
"His beyblade... is a full combination with the best stats of offence and defense. See as Lee made every White tiger signature move and Marcus's blade just keeps on spinning. There's no way Lee can win." Kenny explained.
"Lee hasn't tried the tiger claw yet. It's his only chance to win." Ray said.
"Galeon, tiger claw!" Lee commanded.
Lee's beyblade made an incredibly fast charge at Marcus's and crashed onto it with great force. Marcus's blade flew and hit one of the arena's miniatures and caused a big dust cloud. As the smoke cleared, Marcus's beyblade was wobbling and didn't seem to get its balance back.
"So how do you like that? Guess I only needed some time to figure out your weakness and since you wouldn't finish me off when you had the chance. Now to finish you off. Galeon!" Lee yelled.
Galeon rose and charged straight at Marcus's blade.
"Hmm. Alright. Then we'll do it your way. Metal Hawkor, pylon warhead!" Marcus commanded.
Marcus's beyblade's bit glowed silver and the gigantic metal bird, Metal Hawkor rose spreading its wings. It was the size of Metal Ursor and its wings almost reached the audience.
"Unbelievable. That things way bigger than the average Hawkor." Tyson said amazed.
"Oh man. Lee's Galeon wont stand a chance against that." Max said as he looked down on Galeon.
Galeon was a Hercules beetle compared to Metal Hawkor. Marcus's beyblade's base started producing blue lightning bolts and the attack ring started glowing brightly. Marcus's beyblade leaped into the air and started falling at Lee's blade. At the same time Metal Hawkor was soaring straight at Galeon. Finally Marcus's beyblade crashed onto Lee's and Metal Hawkor crushed Galeon with his metallic head. As the smoke cleared, Lee's beyblade's attack ring was completely shattered and Galeon's bit laid in front of Lee's beyblade. Marcus's blade was spinning in top speed next to Lee's blade. Suddenly Marcus's beyblade crashed onto what was left of Lee's beyblade and shattered it completely. Marcus laughed evilly as Lee in disgrace was on his knees, frightened of Marcus's power.
And the winner of session three is Marcus!" D.J. Jazzman announced.
"Whoa! Lee's Galeon did not survive against Marcus's powerful pylon warhead." Brad Best said.
"This can't be! He wasted my beyblade to an even more bad condition than Black Dranzer." Lee said as he looked at Galeon's bit.
"Uh, Brad. I don't think anything could stand a chance against that." A.J. Topper said.
"I'll take that." Marcus said as he grabbed Galeon's bit.
"No! You wont take Galeon!" Lee said as he tried to snatch Galeon back, but Marcus just fled to his teammates cowardly.
"Galeon!" Lee yelled in sorrow.
The Destroyers just looked at Lee and laughed evilly as they started walking to the exit.
"Hey, I don't think that should be right." Brad Best said seriously.
"Someone stop those crazy bladers!" A.J. Topper said.
"That does it!" Rio said loudly as he ran out the audience.
"I'm not letting them take my friend's bit beast. Not this time." Ray said as he followed Rio.
The Destroyers were walking to the readying room. Suddenly two beyblades flew at Marcus and knocked Galeon's bit out of his hands. The beyblades were Ray's and Rio's. Ray and Rio stood in front of the cruel team. Ray picked up Galeon's bit and pocketed it. Both Ray and Rio were raged at the cite of the Destroyers. Ray and Rio's blades spun back to their owners.
"Hey you! Give me that bit back!" Marcus said angrily.
"Sorry. But you're not taking my friends bit beast. He had already lost it once, so I'm not letting it happen again." Ray said.
"Ooo. You're a tough guy aren't you? Oh. I see you've befriended with what's his name." Ronny said rudely.
Rio tightened his grip on his shooter as his teeth were bit together tightly. (Rio had his average shooter now.)
"You have some explaining to do. Why did you steal Lee's bit beast and where did you obtain bit beasts of your own?" Rio asked as he attached his beyblade onto his shooter.
"Why should we tell you? A weakling who had a crush on ME doesn't deserve to know." Nicole said.
"I actually think he doesn't deserve to beyblade, he's totally weak with that average Hawkor of his." Jake said as he chuckled.
"What are they saying?" Ray asked Rio.
"I...I used to have a crush on Nicole. I always thought that she was a nice and sweet girl as she talked with her friends. As I finally told her that I like her and I told her that I'll become the beyblade world champion... our rivalry begun." Rio said.
(Flashback)
Rio's talking to Nicole in front of a small building.
"Hey Nicole. I promise that I'll become the beyblade champion of the world. With my beyblade, Hawkor and my good teammates by my side I'll bring home the gold. You can wish me luck and after I return home, I'll take you on a date." Rio said confidently.
"Ha! You, the world champion? Don't make me laugh. You're the most pitiful blader I've ever met. And why would I go on a date with you?" Nicole asked coldly.
"Wha? You saw me defeat all those other contenders this week. How can I be pitiful? Sure I may have had a little trouble, but with Mike, Karl and Ann by my side, we all will become champions and bring honor to our country. And why are you acting so cold?" Rio asked.
"Because you're just a pathetic little worm. When you go out in to the world, your team will lose the first match. And your team name sucks. Kalevalans. I've always seen you as a moron." Nicole said even coldly or actually evilly.
Rio's arm started shaking. Rio's face now looked out raged.
"Fine! Don't come crawling back to me when I've won! Heartless!" Rio said as he walked away.
(End flashback)
"Well Rio. You're not the champion. We heard you chickened out when the championships were held. Instead you just lazed in Australia." Nicole said.
"My team had entered an extra tournament. And the reason we didn't enter was because of the Demolition boys. I didn't want to loose Hawkor. You guys seem worse than the Demolition boys did back then." Rio said.
The Destroyers just laughed.
"Fine! I'll just beat one of you and show you how strong I am." Rio said as he went into his shooting position.
"We don't have time for you. We need to prepare for our battle against the All starz." Ronny said.
"And we'll win it for sure." Jake said.
"Don't even think you'll beat Emily and Michael. I've known them for some time now. You saw that our power was even." Rio said extremely angered.
"Yeah, cause you both are weaklings. Ha ha haa." Marcus laughed.
The Destroyers walked into the readying room.
"Those are the most cruel beybladers I've seen. No wonder you hate them so much." Ray said.
"We'll I should go prepare for our battle against the Demolition boys." Rio said as he started walking to a different readying room.
"I should return Galeon to Lee." Ray said under his breath and walked to the White tigers readying room.
In the White tiger's readying room. Lee is sitting on a chair with his head down. Ray walks in.
"Ray. Where were you?" Mariah asked.
"I was busy getting Galeon back for Lee." Ray said as he took Galeon's bit from his pocket.
"Galeon? You recovered Galeon. Thanks Ray. I just can't believe we're dealing with a new team that seems to be after bit beasts." Lee said as he walked to Ray.
Ray gave Lee Galeon's bit.
"I tried asking the Destroyers about why they stole Galeon, but they didn't answer. All I now know is that those bladers have hearts of ice." Ray said.
