BeyBlade: Tyson Returns

Part One

Three years later...

A tall man wearing a black trench coat, and carrying a large duffel bag walked towards Grandpa's Dojo.

"Is there something I can help you with sir?" Grandpa said as he walked out.

"Come on Grandpa, it hasn't been that long." The man said with a smile as he dropped his bag.

"Tyson, is that you?" Grandpa said squinting.

"It's me." Tyson said as he hugged Grandpa.

"Did you find what you were looking for?" Grandpa asked.

"I did. I think I'm finally ready to blade again." He said with a smile.

"Are you sure? Blading isn't what it used to be. When you walked out of the world championships it was never the same again." Grandpa warned.

"I know." Tyson sighed. "I read about it in the papers, but I think it's all going to change soon. Something is coming, and the top bladers now won't be enough to stop it."

"It's going to be a little tough getting a team together now though, registration ends today and you need a team of at least three to compete." Grandpa informed him.

"Don't worry, I've got a plan. Come with me to register?" Tyson asked.

"No way would I miss this. Max is holding a press conference their right now."

"How would have thought that Max would be able to take the championship away from Kai. I thought for sure he would have lasted longer than a year." Tyson said as they left.

"Let's all hear it for your world champion Max!" The interviewer said as the press conference was coming to an end.

"Good job Max." Tyson said as he walked up to the stand.

"Am I supposed to know you?" Max asked arrogantly.

"Maybe this will refresh your memory." Tyson said as he pulled out Dragoon.

When the camera focused on Tyson's blade everyone watching gasped.

"Is that really Tyson?" someone asked.

"They say that before he left he was practically invincible." Another shouted.

"Do you think he's going to enter the tournament?" Someone else asked.

"Yes Tyson," Max said with a smirk. "Are you actually going to stick around this time or are you going to turn tail and run?"

"I'm here to compete." Tyson said.

"I don't see a team standing behind you." Max sneered.

"I don't need one. I'm going into the tournament as a lone wolf." Tyson explained.

"What the hell does that mean?" Max asked in confusion.

"It means," Mr. Dickinson interrupted, "that Tyson will be going into the tournament alone. He will fight all two on two battles with a handicap. All best of three matches will be lost if looses a single round, and when he looses he will never be allowed to BeyBlade professionally again."

"You forgot the last part." Tyson said as watched the rest of his former teammates walk out of the crowd.

"Oh yes, and if he somehow still manages to win he will do what no one else has ever done before, become the undisputed BeyBlade world champion." Mr. Dickinson finished.

"You don't stand a chance," Ray shouted. "You couldn't beat me three years ago, and you can't beat all of us now."

"There is a difference between couldn't and wouldn't." Tyson said as he loaded his blade. "How about we have an exhibition match, right here, right now, and then you decide if I'm worthy or not?" he suggested.

"Alright, you're on." Ray said as he pulled out his blade and they walked over to the dish.

The press quickly surrounded Tyson and Ray. Everyone wanted to know if Tyson really could have beat Ray in the championships three years ago.

"Alright, this is going to be a one on one exhibition max between the two former world champions. If your blade stops spinning or you get knocked out of the dish you're done." The interviewer set down the rules.

"LET IT RIP!" Tyson shouted as both he and Ray launched their blades.

"Tyson is off to an excellent start with that launch and Ray isn't far behind. Ray has wanted this match for three years and it looks like he's finally go it, let's just hope it isn't more than he can handle." The interviewer commented.

Ray was blading like a man possessed. He had wanted a victory over Tyson for three years but no matter what he did Tyson always seemed to be a step ahead of him.

"Trigger," Ray shouted calling out his bit beast. If he wanted to beat Tyson he would have to take it up a notch. "Seven blade attack!"

"You're going to have to do a lot better than that Ray." Tyson said, not even bothering to call out dragoon as his blade flipped into the air completely missing Ray's attack.

On the way down dragoon turned on its side and slammed down onto the top of trigger.

"Tyson just scored a big hit on trigger. It doesn't look like Ray can take much more of this." The interviewer said referring to the condition of Ray's blade. At the point where Tyson hit there was a large indent and it had severely reduced the rate of spin.

"I won't let you beat me!" Ray shouted as launched another attack at Tyson.

"You forgot what Blading is really about. Until you figure that out you don't stand a chance against me." Tyson said as Dragoon slammed into Trigger and knocked him out of the dish.

"Let's go Grandpa." Tyson said as Dragoon hopped into his outstretched hand.

"This is channel 6 news with some late breaking news in the world of BeyBlade." The news reporter said. "Current World Champion Max was holding a press conference on the last day of registration for this year's world championships. He was congratulated by former champion Tyson, who walked out of the finals three years ago and declared Ray the champion. Tyson announced his return to blading and his entry in the World Championships. We have Mr. Dickinson here with us today to explain more about it."

"Thank you, it came as a shock to all of us when Tyson returned." Mr. Dickinson responded.

"For those of us that don't know all of the rules to BeyBlading how can Tyson able to enter the tournament without a team?"

"It's actually quite simple, as a former champion Tyson has the right to enter the tournament, bypassing most of entry rules, but what truly makes it interesting is he had decided to enter as a lone wolf. He will face all of his opponents alone, and a single loss will cause him to be ejected from the tournament."

"Forgive me for saying this, but that seems hardly fair." The reporter argued.

"It isn't supposed to be. Tyson is trying to become the undisputed champion. If the boy can actually pull this off no one can take that title away from him. They would have to compete in a tournament as lone wolf themselves first."

"Do you think that he can actually pull this off?" The reporter asked skeptically.

"He already did. Three years ago it was him that won all the matches necessary to make it to the finals."

"Well there you have it folks. It looks like this year's championships will definitely be something to see."
