I don't own beyblade or the official characters. I own the Kalevalans, the
Destroyers and the new bit beasts! Oh and I think I should finally explain
where I got the name Kalevalans. There's a famous Finnish story known as
Kalevala that was written by a man named Elias Lönrot. The stories name
means 'the story of heroes' so I thought that why not make a name for a
team that means 'heroes'.
Chapter 9: The wrath of the Kalevalans
Last time Max had found out that he has an older brother. The brother turned out to be Rio, the captain of the Kalevalans. It turned out that Judy had lost Rio as a madman dropped him into the Mississippi river and was adopted by a Finnish BBA scientist. But now Rio must choose that does he stay in his old team, or does he join another team.
Rio was now so stressed that he was lying on one of his team's room's beds. He didn't move at all and his eyes were open. His teammates tried to wake him up from his stress. Even though Rio was an American, the other team members still treated him like they always did. First Ann held a bag of candy above Rio's face, but Rio seemed as if he didn't see it. Karl blew up a paper bag, causing some of the guests to think that someone was shooting with a gun and drop down on the floor. Mike didn't try anything because he already knew Rio wouldn't wake up from his stress.
"Rio. Hello. I'm holding your beyblade. I'm tossing it into the air and catching it. I'm taking off the attack ring. I'm putting it back on. I'm switching bits with my blade. Aw c'mon Rio! Wake up already!" Karl said as he shook his team leader like mad.
"Save your breath Karl. He can't hear you." Michael said as he looked down on the floor.
"Aargh! I can't take it anymore! Ann! Get me a glass of water!" Karl yelled as he was going nuts.
"Sorry, no water. Only a can of coke." Ann said as she walked to Karl with a can of coke.
"It'll have to do!" Karl took the can, opened it and drank some. He finally calmed down a bit.
"Is this normal? Getting a stress after finding out who your real mother, brother and nationality is?" Ann asked.
"Well, I'm not sure. But he better wake up soon and tell us which team he wants to join or stay with us." Mike said.
"Why did this happen? Right when we had the chance." Karl wined.
"You mean getting the chance of becoming world champs?" Mike asked.
Rio finally got up and shook his head. He walked to the door.
"Rio? What are you..." Ann tried to ask, but then Rio detached his sword scabbard with his sword shooter and threw it on the floor.
"Sorry guys. I'm not Finnish, so I can't be the captain of this team. I'm joining my brother's team. See ya, my friends." Rio said as he walked out of the room with his backpack. The other Kalevalans were speechless. Their jaws dropped as they saw their beloved leader walk out.
"Why could he do this to us! Rio! You... you... traitor!" Karl yelled in anger.
"Mike. Shouldn't we tell him how we feel? You remember what Michael said about the..." Ann spoke.
"He's gone. Then that's that." Mike said as he picked up Rio's sword shooter and put it in his backpack. Mike looked really sad, as now they'll never play with their leader with them.
At the same time in the hallway, Rio is walking to his brother's team's room. He isn't really happy looking but he keeps on thinking that it's good that his brother would finally have someone from his family on his team. But then his brother, Max of the Bladebreakers was walking to Rio's 'old' teams room to check up on his brother, but then the two saw each other.
"Hey, Rio. Why are you here?" Max asked.
"Well, brother. Ever since I found out that I'm not Finnish I decided to join your team. Sure it does feel hard to me for leaving the Kalevalans, but I made the team in the honor of Finland and that's what led me to this choice. I hope it doesn't matter you or your team." Rio said.
"Hey, no sweat. I'm sure the others will let you in. They got a shocker from telling them that I'm your brother. We could really use someone as tough as you on our team." Max said.
Max and Rio walked to the Bladebreakers' room. Max went in first.
"Hey, Max, so how's your brother feeling?" Tyson asked.
"Oh he's more than fine." Max said.
"Well we can see that, from the look on your face." Kenny said.
"And I can see that you have something else in mind." Ray said.
"As a matter of I do have a surprise. Just a sec." Max said as he looked out the door and whispered to someone. The other Bladebreakers held their breath.
A familiar figure in blue clothing walked in, making the other Bladebreakers gasp.
"Rio!?" They all said surprised.
"Hi. Since I found out that Max is my brother and since I can't be in a team that represents Finland, I decided to join you guys. I hope it doesn't matter." Rio explained.
"Cool! We got a new member. You bet it doesn't matter us. Right guys?" Tyson asked his other teammates.
"Not at all. Now we might have a shot at winning against the Destroyers, plus it would be fun studying your moves and Hawkor." Kenny said.
"Well if you're joining us, you have to get used to Tyson's snoring and eating habits." Ray said.
"And I'm in charge, so we train when I say so." Kai said.
"I'm sure I'll get used to it. I'm just glad you took me in. But promise me you won't treat me like a secret weapon." Rio said.
"We won't, cause you've been a friend of us ever since we meet and you will be an equal member like all of us." Tyson said.
"Touchy Tyson." Dizzi said as Kenny had his laptop on the room's desk.
"Hey and if you need any repairs or upgrades, just let me know." Kenny said.
"Won't need any. Mike did some already and I'm sure I'll manage in this tournament. Plus, I have something you should know about this tournament." Rio said.
"Like what?" Tyson asked.
"Well, I'll try to make it short, though it'll probably become long. You see, before my old team was made, we had to battle earlier in the bridge stadium. And I know all about the tournament and how its championships are like." Rio explained.
"Yea, I heard that all the teams with the best points could only enter the championships. I've also realized that all the teams appear to be tied." Kenny said.
"Well, when all the battles between each team have been held, they're taken to the bridge stadium's second floor. That room really packs a surprise. In there, is the largest beystadium in the world." Rio said.
"The biggest? Just how big is it?" Ray asked.
"It's hard to explain but I'll try. It's so big that it reaches the audience. The players stand on this section of railing and the dish is also very complicated. The arena is a mix of different elements of nature and that is actually the reason, why my old team is so powerful since the training we've endured has always been high-class." Rio explained.
"Whoa. Wicked." Tyson said.
"I know. I've battled in the dish some time ago. It was extremely hard, as I had to watch that my beyblade wouldn't become roasted or sink in to the sand or into the water. It was really nasty. But since all of us are highly experienced beybladers, we should pull through." Rio said.
"Thanks for the warning Rio. All we have to do now is to keep winning and battle the ones who manage to get that far." Max said.
"But what'll we do in the mean time? It won't be late for a long time and sitting in this room won't be fun." Ray said.
"I've got an idea. How 'bout I show you around Helsinki?" Rio suggested.
"You'd do that?" Tyson asked.
"Sure. It's a great weather outside and there's no more snow, since it is near spring. We could go see the Uspenski cathedral, or the senate market, the parliament house, the national museum, the Helsinki cathedral, the Sibelius monument..." (These are real cites in Helsinki.)
"Alright, we get it. But wow, there's so much to see in Helsinki." Tyson said.
"Well what are we waiting for, lets go." Rio said. "And there's lots of Beyblade action in the park."
"Then lets go!" Tyson said excited.
"You sure know how to make him go." Max said.
"No problem." Rio said.
"Might as well go." Kai said.
Back in the Kalevalan's room, the feeling is quite... sad. Mike's working on new beyblade shooters, Karl's looking out the window and Ann's sitting on a chair with a depressed look on her face. They remembered all the times they had as a team, making them all sigh by those good times.
Karl's memories: "Hey, you, in the blue t-shirt. How about a battle?" Karl asked.
"You're on! But I must warn you, I'm good." Rio said as he took out his launch gear.
The two battled and ended as a tie.
"Nice moves dude. By the way, what's your name?" Karl asked.
"I'm Rio. You also have some killer moves. You give a better challenge than any of my school mates." Rio said.
"Ha ha. Thanks. And I'm Karl. How 'bout we be friends? I know the best beyblade stores from around here." Karl said.
Mike's memories: "Taste this! Serpor attack!" Mike commanded. Rio and Mike were playing a practice battle in a playground.
"Hawkor!" Rio yelled.
The two beyblades collided and finally, Mike's beyblade flew out.
"Good job Rio. After obtaining your bit beast, you've become one of the best in this city." Mike said.
"Thanks pal. Say, I've been thinking that what if we make a team in our country's honor? You, me and Karl." Rio asked.
Ann's memories: "Foxor! Attack!" Ann commanded as she and Rio were having their first battle ever, in the bridge stadium.
"Hawkor, flee!" Rio commanded as his beyblade dodged one of Ann's attacks
Suddenly the bits on the two beyblades glowed and the mighty hawk creature, Hawkor rose, as well as the legendary flaming fox, Foxor rose. The two beasts attacked with tremendous power, causing both blades to fly to their owners' hands.
"I...tied. How did this happen?" Ann asked herself as she looked at her beyblade.
"Don't feel bad. You're good and that bit beast of yours it was awesome. I'm Rio, who are you?" Rio asked.
"I'm Ann."
"Okay. We're trying to form a team to compete in the world championships. We could use someone like you for our team." Rio said.
"Well, I did enter this tournament for that reason. Maybe if you make it to the top in this match then I'll join your team." Ann said.
"Heh heh. We'll just have to see who's the best blader. Well, gotta go now. See ya." Rio said as he left.
"I got a feeling I'll be seeing him a lot. He really seems nice, but who are those other two he's talking about?" Ann thought.
"That's it! I can't take it! Rio formed this team and we're going to him, and we're telling him straight how we feel!" Ann said as if she was angry.
"Too late. Rio's going somewhere with his new team." Karl said as he looked out the window.
Ann pushed Karl out of the way and looked out the window. She saw Rio with the Bladebreakers walking and laughing at something they were talking of. Ann looked at the Bladebreakers with a disgusted look.
"Let it go Ann. Rio made his choice. We can't make his decisions." Mike said as he made a dark blue grip shooter with a sniper scope on it.
"Well I've had it! Guys, Lets get him back! Please!" Karl said loudly like a leader.
Mike and Ann were a bit surprised of Karl's behavior. But then the two smiled and got up from their seats.
"Then its settled Karl. Look out guys, cause we're bringing Rio back!" Mike said happily.
Later, at the Sibelius monument...
"What the heck is that?" Tyson wondered as he looked at the Sibelius monument, which is made of hundreds of metal pipes attached to each other in a musical wave.
"That there is the Sibelius monument. Isn't it beautiful?" Rio asked.
"Man. Was Sibelius Finland's most famous plummer?" Tyson asked, making the rest of his team either fall on the ground anime style, or sweat drop.
"Err, no, Sibelius was Finland's most famous composer." Rio said.
"Then what's with the pipes?" Tyson asked.
"Those pipes are attached to each other to form a musical airwave Tyson. You should listen more when you study history." Kenny said.
"Hey, it's great that you're showing us all these sights Rio. It's kinda handy having a brother who knows of Finland's history and all." Max said.
But Rio's thoughts were elsewhere. He was looking at the large granite beyblade dish in the middle of the park and saw a memory as he and Karl had their third duel against each other, only this time Karl was the winner.
"Rio?" Max said as he shook his brother.
Rio snapped out of his memories.
"You ok Rio?" Ray asked.
"Oh, it's nothing." Rio said.
"You miss them don't you?" Ray asked Rio.
Rio looked on the ground as he remembered his team's past matches.
"Well... yea. It isn't really the same without them." Rio said.
"Well if you want to rejoin with them. That's fine with us." Tyson said.
"No. I'll stay with you. I feel sorta bad since mine and Max's mother works in a different team, so I thought I should join with you to be with someone from my real family." Rio explained.
"But Rio. You said that you'd never leave us. Isn't that right?" A girl voice that was really familiar to Rio asked.
The Bladebreakers turned around and saw the Kalevalans' three members: Mike, Karl and Ann.
"Guys? What are you doing here?" Rio asked his former teammates.
"Rio, we have to tell ya something. Since you left our team a few hours ago, we've been so darn depressed. You just left without hearing what we had to say, so we came to get you back." Karl explained.
"Why should Rio return to you since he would like to play by our side and that he and Max are brothers who haven't known and seen each other for so many years?" Tyson asked
"Please guys, don't start a war between us all. I just wanted to be with my brother." Rio said.
"I knew you wouldn't re-join with words. The I guess we'll do it the old fashion way." Ann said.
"Let me guess. You want to beybattle us. Is that it?" Kai asked.
"Yes. If we win, Rio returns to our side, but if you win, Rio can make his own decision. No hard feelings or anything." Karl said.
Rio's teammates felt really bad about this, surely they wanted that Rio would be the Kalevalans captain again, but then remembered that people have the right to make their own choices in life, but they felt empty without their leader's support.
"Alright. We accept, a three on three match. Is that good enough?" Tyson asked.
"Challenge accepted, Tyson. We battle on that arena." Mike said as he pointed at the bigger granite dish in the park.
"This is terrible! Now my team and my old team are fighting over ME!" Rio thought.
The two teams gathered around the arena.
"Alright, I'm starting this battle. Get ready to see the power of Draciel." Max said as he took out his shooter.
"Alright. I'll go first and I'll try to make it quick and clean." Mike said.
Mike sighed as he took out his fatigue colored beyblade shooter.
"Alright Dizzi. We've got work to do." Kenny said as he opened his laptop.
"Alrighty. Are you players set?" Tyson asked.
"You bet I am. This is for my brother." Max said as he went into his shooting position.
"I'm ready. For our captain." Mike said and thought.
"Alright. Then 3... 2... 1... let it rip!" Tyson said.
Max and Mike fired their beyblades. The two blades started crashing onto each other already as they tried to get into the middle of the beydish.
"This is for you captain! Serpor!" Mike yelled.
Mike's new and improved beyblade started evading Max's attacks. Mike's beyblade then circled Max's beyblade and moved in a strange pattern.
"That move reminds me of something. What do you think Dizzi?" Kenny asked.
"Well, I'm not quite sure, but that pattern Mike's beyblade is doing, reminds of a fish's stalking pattern, since Serpor is a fish bit beast. So it'll be hard to know where Mike's going to strike next." Dizzi explained.
"Oh yeah! Draciel attack!" Max commanded.
Max's beyblade charged at Mike's but Mike's blade just dodged the attack with ease.
"Oh right and Mike's using a new beyblade." Dizzi said.
"You got that right. Serpor's speed is much better compared to Draciel. Serpor, attack!" Mike commanded.
Mike's beyblade glowed sea blue as Serpor rose out and roared. Mike's beyblade started making multiple crashes onto Max's beyblade. Every time Max's beyblade tried to run away, Mike's beyblade just went in its way and attacked.
"I've had enough. Draciel, go!" Max commanded.
Draciel rose out of Max's beyblade as Max's beyblade finally got contact with Mike's beyblade. But Max suddenly noticed Serpor's bit glowing suspiciously.
"Oh dear! Draciel, finish it off!" Max commanded.
"Too late! You gave me enough power already. Hydro fusion attack!" Mike commanded.
Serpor's horn glowed as it charged straight at Draciel. Draciel defended itself and blocked Serpor's attack, causing a big air impact, making Mike's beyblade fly out of the arena. Max's beyblade spun a few seconds and then stopped.
"Mike's beyblade is history! And the winner is Max!" Tyson announced.
"Alright! Way to go Draciel." Max said as he looked at Draciel on his beyblade.
"Don't think you've won yet. Cause I'm fighting this battle." Karl said as he took out a grip shooter with a sniper scope attached to it. His beyblade was also different.
Will the Bladebreakers stand a chance against one of the most powerful beyblade teams? Find out in the next chapter.
Chapter 9: The wrath of the Kalevalans
Last time Max had found out that he has an older brother. The brother turned out to be Rio, the captain of the Kalevalans. It turned out that Judy had lost Rio as a madman dropped him into the Mississippi river and was adopted by a Finnish BBA scientist.

Mike didn't try anything because he already knew Rio wouldn't wake up from his stress.
"Rio. Hello. I'm holding your beyblade. I'm tossing it into the air and catching it. I'm taking off the attack ring. I'm putting it back on. I'm switching bits with my blade. Aw c'mon Rio! Wake up already!" Karl said as he shook his team leader like mad.
"Save your breath Karl. He can't hear you." Michael said as he looked down on the floor.
"Aargh! I can't take it anymore! Ann! Get me a glass of water!" Karl yelled as he was going nuts.
"Sorry, no water. Only a can of coke." Ann said as she walked to Karl with a can of coke.
"It'll have to do!" Karl took the can, opened it and drank some. He finally calmed down a bit.
"Is this normal? Getting a stress after finding out who your real mother, brother and nationality is?" Ann asked.

"Why could he do this to us! Rio! You... you... traitor!" Karl yelled in anger.
"Mike. Shouldn't we tell him how we feel? You remember what Michael said about the..." Ann spoke.
"He's gone. Then that's that." Mike said as he picked up Rio's sword shooter and put it in his backpack. Mike looked really sad, as now they'll never play with their leader with them.

Max and Rio walked to the Bladebreakers' room. Max went in first.
"Hey, Max, so how's your brother feeling?" Tyson asked.
"Oh he's more than fine." Max said.
"Well we can see that, from the look on your face." Kenny said.
"And I can see that you have something else in mind." Ray said.
"As a matter of I do have a surprise. Just a sec." Max said as he looked out the door and whispered to someone. The other Bladebreakers held their breath.

Ann's memories: "Foxor! Attack!" Ann commanded as she and Rio were having their first battle ever, in the bridge stadium.
"Hawkor, flee!" Rio commanded as his beyblade dodged one of Ann's attacks
Suddenly the bits on the two beyblades glowed and the mighty hawk creature, Hawkor rose, as well as the legendary flaming fox, Foxor rose. The two beasts attacked with tremendous power, causing both blades to fly to their owners' hands.
"I...tied. How did this happen?" Ann asked herself as she looked at her beyblade.
"Don't feel bad. You're good and that bit beast of yours it was awesome. I'm Rio, who are you?" Rio asked.
"I'm Ann."

"Then its settled Karl. Look out guys, cause we're bringing Rio back!" Mike said happily.
Later, at the Sibelius monument...
"What the heck is that?" Tyson wondered as he looked at the Sibelius monument, which is made of hundreds of metal pipes attached to each other in a musical wave.
"That there is the Sibelius monument. Isn't it beautiful?" Rio asked.
"Man. Was Sibelius Finland's most famous plummer?" Tyson asked, making the rest of his team either fall on the ground anime style, or sweat drop.
"Err, no, Sibelius was Finland's most famous composer." Rio said.
"Then what's with the pipes?" Tyson asked.
"Those pipes are attached to each other to form a musical airwave Tyson. You should listen more when you study history." Kenny said.
"Hey, it's great that you're showing us all these sights Rio. It's kinda handy having a brother who knows of Finland's history and all." Max said.

"Well if you want to rejoin with them. That's fine with us." Tyson said.

"But Rio. You said that you'd never leave us. Isn't that right?" A girl voice that was really familiar to Rio asked.
The Bladebreakers turned around and saw the Kalevalans' three members: Mike, Karl and Ann.

"Rio, we have to tell ya something. Since you left our team a few hours ago, we've been so darn depressed. You just left without hearing what we had to say, so we came to get you back." Karl explained.
"Why should Rio return to you since he would like to play by our side and that he and Max are brothers who haven't known and seen each other for so many years?" Tyson asked
"Please guys, don't start a war between us all. I just wanted to be with my brother." Rio said.
"I knew you wouldn't re-join with words. The I guess we'll do it the old fashion way." Ann said.
"Let me guess. You want to beybattle us. Is that it?" Kai asked.
"Yes. If we win, Rio returns to our side, but if you win, Rio can make his own decision. No hard feelings or anything." Karl said.
Rio's teammates felt really bad about this, surely they wanted that Rio would be the Kalevalans captain again, but then remembered that people have the right to make their own choices in life, but they felt empty without their leader's support.
"Alright. We accept, a three on three match. Is that good enough?" Tyson asked.
"Challenge accepted, Tyson. We battle on that arena." Mike said as he pointed at the bigger granite dish in the park.
"This is terrible! Now my team and my old team are fighting over ME!" Rio thought.
The two teams gathered around the arena.
"Alright, I'm starting this battle. Get ready to see the power of Draciel." Max said as he took out his shooter.
"Alright. I'll go first and I'll try to make it quick and clean." Mike said.
Mike sighed as he took out his fatigue colored beyblade shooter.
"Alright Dizzi. We've got work to do." Kenny said as he opened his laptop.
"Alrighty. Are you players set?" Tyson asked.
"You bet I am. This is for my brother." Max said as he went into his shooting position.
"I'm ready. For our captain." Mike said and thought.
"Alright. Then 3... 2... 1... let it rip!" Tyson said.
Max and Mike fired their beyblades. The two blades started crashing onto each other already as they tried to get into the middle of the beydish.
"This is for you captain! Serpor!" Mike yelled.
Mike's new and improved beyblade started evading Max's attacks. Mike's beyblade then circled Max's beyblade and moved in a strange pattern.
"That move reminds me of something. What do you think Dizzi?" Kenny asked.
"Well, I'm not quite sure, but that pattern Mike's beyblade is doing, reminds of a fish's stalking pattern, since Serpor is a fish bit beast. So it'll be hard to know where Mike's going to strike next." Dizzi explained.
"Oh yeah! Draciel attack!" Max commanded.
Max's beyblade charged at Mike's but Mike's blade just dodged the attack with ease.
"Oh right and Mike's using a new beyblade." Dizzi said.
"You got that right. Serpor's speed is much better compared to Draciel. Serpor, attack!" Mike commanded.
Mike's beyblade glowed sea blue as Serpor rose out and roared. Mike's beyblade started making multiple crashes onto Max's beyblade. Every time Max's beyblade tried to run away, Mike's beyblade just went in its way and attacked.
"I've had enough. Draciel, go!" Max commanded.
Draciel rose out of Max's beyblade as Max's beyblade finally got contact with Mike's beyblade. But Max suddenly noticed Serpor's bit glowing suspiciously.
"Oh dear! Draciel, finish it off!" Max commanded.
"Too late! You gave me enough power already. Hydro fusion attack!" Mike commanded.
Serpor's horn glowed as it charged straight at Draciel. Draciel defended itself and blocked Serpor's attack, causing a big air impact, making Mike's beyblade fly out of the arena. Max's beyblade spun a few seconds and then stopped.
"Mike's beyblade is history! And the winner is Max!" Tyson announced.
"Alright! Way to go Draciel." Max said as he looked at Draciel on his beyblade.
"Don't think you've won yet. Cause I'm fighting this battle." Karl said as he took out a grip shooter with a sniper scope attached to it. His beyblade was also different.
