Hi everyone, who have made it this far to read my story. This is the first one I've written, so don't have too high expectations. There are a few symbols that I have used and hear is what they mean:
"This is talking"
(Writer's comments)
I think I've explained enough, so let's get on with it shall we.
Chapter 1: An invincible blader?
It was a cold and snowy winter morning. There is someone sitting in the otherwise empty park. His reddish eyes looked very focused, staring at the dish, where kids normally launched their beyblades. There was a slight breeze blowing and moving his thick, blue hair. It looked as if he had forgotten, that there was a world around him. His name was Kai. This wasn't unusual for him to be up this early in the morning. He often couldn't sleep, because of the nightmares, that haunted him. There were a lot questions in his head, which had no answers. Most important of them was why...
In a nearby cabin his friends were just waking up. The first room belonged to a girl named Hilary. She had a fiery temper and could blow her top really easily. But generally she was a sweet person. She was usually the one to be the judge in matches between the other teammates, when they practiced. In the next room there are two beds, both of them empty. One of them belonging to Kai and the other one belonging to a Chinese blader called Rei. He was by nature a very calm and peaceful person, except for the times when he was beyblading. He usually ended up solving the arguments of his teammates. At the third room there are two boys, one of them still sleeping, Tyson. Tyson was the one that the others had to always take care of. The only interests in his life seemed to be beyblading, food and TV. Like I was saying, he is still asleep, while his roommate, Max, was trying to wake him up. Max is a regular sunshine. He almost never stops smiling and is always friendly and open.
Rei was just making his bed when he heard a knock on the door."Yeah, what?" he asked.
The door opened and a blond boy, Max, came in. "I can't wake up Tyson, he has stayed up the whole night again."
This could have been a problem, if Rei weren't prepared for this.
"Not again? Let's get this overwith," he responded.
In a situation like this there was only one way to wake up Tyson and it was to feed him a raw chili-fruit. It wasn't a very nice thing to see. Piece by piece Tyson swallowed it all, not knowing, what he just ate. In a few seconds he woke up screaming.
"Aaaaahh! My mouth is on fire, heeeeelp!" he shouted, running. "Give me some water."
Soon he got a flower vase in his hands and he throw away the flowers and drank the water.
"That helped," he said in relief.
"Now that this is over, let's go downstairs and make breakfast," Rei said.
Soon they were all, except for Kai, in the kitchen. Rei was frying the bacon and Hilary making the eggs. Max was in charge of the pancakes. Tyson had to carry the dishes to the table as always, because he couldn't be trusted with cooking. Those few times he had cooked, he had either burned everything or eaten most of the food. Everything was almost ready, when Tyson dropped a pile of plates. At the exact moment Kai came in to see the whole show."Get a grip Tyson and clean up this mess," he said in his usual cold tone. He went to get another pile of plates and set them on the table. Tyson looked like he could have strangled Kai, but luckily he controlled himself. Soon they were all eating and talking.
"The dish is quite icy, so it should make it a bit more of a challenge," Kai stated.
"A little ice isn't going to be so hard," Tyson replied confidently.
"I wouldn't be so sure if I were you. I don't recall you blading in an icy dish," Kai answered coldly, giving him a glare.
"OK, I'll prove it to you. Why don't we take a match?" Tyson said, throwing Kai a challenge.
"Fine," came Kai's short reply.
Later outside...
"3...2...1...Let It Rip!" yelled Hilary.
"Go Dranzer!" shouted Kai as Tyson shouted, "Go Dragoon!"
From the point when Tyson's blade landed in the dish, you could notice it shaking on the slippery ice.
"Now, Dranzer, knock him out!" ordered Kai, as his blade turned.
There was nothing Tyson could do, because he didn't control his blade. There was a big red flash of Kai's bitbeast, Dranzer, and after that Tyson saw his blade laying on the ground. He had lost.
"Still think that it's easy?" asked Kai, with an I-told-you-so tone in his voice.
That really pissed of Tyson, who was already humiliated by his loss. He got up after picking his blade an was obviously going to give Kai a lesson, but Rei caught him before. He tried to escape from him but it was useless. Then suddenly out of nowhere they heard a voice.
"You were pretty good."
They looked around and spotted a girl, leaning against a tree. She had long, red waist-length hair and black clothes.
"How long have you been watching?" Max asked.
"Pretty long, I guess. From the beginning," she responded.
"Who are you?" asked Rei.
"Oh sorry, how rude of me. I'm Anya," she introduced herself.
"You're from Russia, aren't you?" replied Kai.
"How did you know, mister...?" she asked, turning the gaze of her green eyes at him.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Tyson questioned.
"From your name and accent," he stated.
"Well enough of this," Anya stated. "I want to challenge you to a match."
"And that would be because?" responded Kai.
"So far you seem to be the only good challenge around here," she replied.
"Fine," Kai answered.
"Great, although I would like to ask if we could go over to my place, because it's getting a little crowded here," Anya said.
So they left the park to go to Anya's house.
"You are the Bladebreakers right?" she asked, focusing her eyes on Kai.
"Yeah, I'm Tyson. He's Max. That's Rei and Hilary and there's of course Mr. Grumpy as in Kai. Kai gave him a glare telling, you're so dead.
When they got to Anya's house, everyone of them, except for Kai, gasped, when they saw the big mansion.
"You live in there?" asked Tyson, unable to believe his eyes.
"Yeah, that's where I live," replied Anya.
They walked to the backyard, where they found a huge dish, frozen too, like in the park.
"Let's get started then.", Anya said, taking her position, as Kai went to the opposite side of the dish.
"3...2...1...Let It Rip!", yelled Hilary once again.
"Go Dranzer!" Kai shouted.
"Go Dremix!" yelled Anya at the same time.
The two blades started to circle around the dish, moving stably.
Anya made the first move. "Dremix, kick him to oblivion!" she ordered.
Her blade turned around, heading towards Kai's, but missed by an inch.
"You're not too bad yourself." said Kai. "But I'm afraid this has to end."
"Finish her Dranzer!" The tables had turned, but then something happened.
"Dremix use Fading Lost!" Anya comanded and her blade started vanishing until you couldn't see it anywhere. Kai was confused, but then he heard something. At the same moment Anya's blade reappeared behind his blade and knocked it out. Kai couldn't believe it.
"Human senses are quite weak," Anya stated. "You could hear at the very last moment, that my blade was approaching. I could see it in your eyes."
Kai couldn't say anything, he was so humiliated. She didn't even seem to think it was hard beating him.
"Oh, looks like Kai isn't Mr. Know-It-All anymore," Tyson said with a sarcastic voice.
"Shut up Tyson! You have no right to speak that way, after your show this morning. You wouldn't have lasted longer than ten seconds," shouted Kai, getting more irritated by the minute.
"You can't tell me what I can or can't say Mr. Grumpy," Tyson shot back.
Than happened the thing, that most propably happens, when you put two people in an argument. One of them having his pride and the other one being a bullhead.
Kai took a few quick steps and tackled Tyson to the ground and kicked him into the frozen dish. After that he walked away in complete silence and disappeared around the corner. The others started pulling Tyson out of the dish, which wasn't very easy, because the dish was covered in ice and Tyson was in fact one of the heaviest people they knew. Anya went quietly after Kai.
She found him leaning against a wall, his eyes closed. 'He looks very much like me,' she thought. (You know what's happening now...) He opened his eyes and stared at Anya.
"You're disappointed in yourself. Aren't you?" she said, softly and quietly. Almost whispering.
"Hmph. I suppose so," he replied.
"If it makes you feel better, I can tell you, that nobody has ever beaten me," she said, looking very serious. Concentrating the gaze of her green eyes on Kai.
He had never seen such green eyes. It startled him. 'There's something about her,' he thought to himself. 'She seems so familiar. Those clear green eyes, her smile, the way she dresses and her trimmed body.' He didn't know, what to say...
Back at the dish the other Bladebreakers were having fun. Although they were worried. When someone insulted Kai, he could disappear for a long time. They were surprised to see Anya walking back with him.
"Hey, look, it's Kai!" said a relieved Hilary. Even Tyson didn't dare to say anything that might irritate him, after what had happened.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Start practicing. As I remember, Tyson at least had to do something and I suspect so does everyone else," he said, getting back his usual bossy attitude. Time went by quickly as they practiced their techniques.
A few hours later:
"I'm hungry," moaned Tyson.
"You can eat here if you like. I often eat alone, so a little company wouldn't hurt," Anya responded.
"That's great!" Rei said as they started heading inside.
"Feel free to look around, but be careful. You might get lost," warned Anya, as they entered the house. "If one of you could help me in the kitchen, since I'm not used to cooking for such a big group?"
"I'll come with you," Rei said immediately.
The others went randomly exploring the house. Kai alone of course and Tyson, Hilary and Max together. After an hour nobody knew where Kai was, Tyson, Hilary and Max were lost and things were heating up in the kitchen. Rei and Anya laughed hystericly as they threw food at each other. Then Kai appeared. Dodging a flying piece of bread he turned his back to look, what was cooking. A few seconds later he got hit, not by a piece of bread, but with a slice of cake. He turned around.
"Who's the wise guy?" he asked, eyeing the two cooks.
"He did it!" Anya accused immediately, pointing at Rei.
"Liar, his not going to believe you!" Rei responded.
A moment later a raw egg hit Anya.
"I told you so!" shouted Rei as a raw egg hit him.
He looked at Kai, who was smirking at them.
"Traitor, we're supposed to be on the same side," Rei shouted at Kai.
"Then why did you throw me with a piece of cake?" Kai asked.
"Wait a second if you knew, then why did you throw that egg at me?" interrupted Anya.
"For fun," answered Kai, smirking even more.
That's when the food war started seriously and when it ended it seemed as nobody was hit, at least not very seriously. But the kitchen was a disaster - covered in eggs, cake and all kinds of stuff.
"Don't you dare tell anyone about this," Kai threatened, "Or else..."
"I'll set the table and you two can clean this mess up," said Anya and took some plates and went into the next room. They had cleaned up the mess and set the table when Tyson, Hilary and Max appeared.
"Just in time. The food is ready," Anya said.
They started eating and talking. After lunch Anya gave them a tour around the mansion, which was even bigger and older than it looked. It even had dungeons in the basement. When they came up from the basement the sun had gone down.
"We should be heading back now," said Hilary, looking worried as she stared out of the window.
"You shouldn't go outside after dark. It's quite dangerous," Anya responded, looking serious.
"Why?" asked Max.
"There are wolves in the forest and they come out after dark," replied Anya.
"You can stay here of course," she said, flashing a cute smile. "I don't mind."
"I guess we don't have a choice," stated Kai.
"There is a dish inside the house too if you want to practice," suggested Anya.
"Actually, I'd much rather do something else," said Max.
"Me too," said Rei.
"Me three," finished Tyson.
"If I'll show you to your rooms. Then you can do what you want," said Anya.
They went to the highest floor in the mansion and entered a long corridor.
"My room is at the end so don't go in there, but you can choose from the other rooms," Anya explained.
Everyone went to choose a room, but Anya grabbed Hilary's hand. "I have to ask you something. Come with me."
They went into one of the rooms and Anya shut the door.
"So, what did you want to ask?" questioned Hilary.
"This is embarrassing, but does Kai have a girlfriend?" Anya asked and blushed furiously.
"What, Kai! Of course not!" Hilary exclaimed. "Oops, sorry," she whispered in apology.
"Good that these rooms are soundproof," Anya stated.
"Your interested in Kai? I mean don't get me wrong he's hot, but he doesn't seem your type," continued Hilary.
"I knew it. You like him don't you?" Anya assumed.
"No, I didn't mean that, besides it's Max I like. He's so cute," answered Hilary.
The two of them went on and on with the subject, until they noticed what time it was.
"Look it's almost eleven O'clock. I better get to bed," Hilary said.
"I'll see you in the morning," replied Anya and left the room.
She was on her way to her bedroom, when she heard something. She went downstairs to see where the sound came from. She found Kai, training at the dish.
"You don't forgive yourself easily, do you?" she said as Kai raised his head.
"What makes you think that?" he replied coldly.
"Why else would you be here? If not training to beat me?" said Anya just as coldly.
"I would tell you that training isn't going to change anything, your still going to lose, but you wouldn't believe me," she continued.
"Why don't you prove it?" Kai said, throwing a challenge.
"Fine. But you asked for this," Anya said as she got her blade ready. "Don't mind the noise. The bedrooms upstairs are soundproof."
So they launched their blades and the match began. Everything went like before, until Anya's blade disappeared again, but this time failed to hit Kai's.
"You said practicing wouldn't do any good?" Kai stated, smirking.
"No it won't, you might have been able to avoid this attack, but so have a few others and they lost too," replied Anya.
"And why was that?" Kai asked, now with a sarcastic tone in his voice.
"Because of this. Dremix use Nightmare!" she shouted.
There was a silver flash, followed by a screech. Kai raised his hands to his ears. But it was no use. Kai saw his worst memories and fears come to life. He looked at Anya. She didn't seem to hear the screech. The last thing he saw before he fainted was his blade stop.
That's it for now. All kinds of comments are welcome. Those of you who know how, can write in Finnish and those of you who don't use English. But until next time, remember to R&R!
