Beyblade Z Spin

Episode Three: Dark Spinout

Kai stood on a roof of a building, looking below at the city, "What are you talking about Dranzer! There's nothing here! It's boring! I want some action!" The young man said, disgustingly.

Dranzer's face seemed to grow dim, "I sensed something! Keep looking, master! I know something will happen!" The bird exclaimed, flapping its glorious red, and golden wings.

"Sure..." Kai said, rolling his eyes. Suddenly he stopped, he heard running footsteps, and crying. He peered downward, and noticed that it was Zeo running. He was running away from Queen, and King! Kai's eyes flashed with a surge for action, and a slight grin appeared on his face, "There still alive huh? Time for payback!"

He jumped from the building, and landed upon the gravel with a slight, "Ugh!" Escaping from his lips. He chased after them, but soon decided grimly to let Dranzer fly on ahead. The bird nodded its feathery head, and zoomed towards the trio. It appeared in front of Zeo with a flash of red light, and spread out its wings showing them to go no further.

King and Queen, seeing this, stopped, and pulled out their launchers as they turned around. "No way!" King said, surprised, "You should be dead after that explosion!"

Kai laughed, "You should be too! But you escaped right?" Kai then stopped, anger flowing through his body, "How?"

Queen grinned, "You should know! Your bit-beast protected you! Well, so did ours!" She then laughed, while pointing a finger at him.

Zeo, meanwhile, had been staring with sheer joy at Kai. After Queen had spoken he ran towards Kai, exclaiming, "Your alive!" He hugged Kai, saying, "It's great your back!" Kai growled, pushing the kid off of him, "Mind your distance!" Zeo fell upon the ground, as Kai pulled out his launcher, "Time for you to die!" He yelled at King and Queen.

"You think you can beat us!" King said. "Go ahead try little brat!" Queen yelled back.

The three launched their beyblades, and all three clashed together, making a huge explosion. Some of the buildings were destroyed even, as King and Queen's bit-beasts appeared in loud roars.

(Author's note: Beyblade battles are so hard to describe!)

The three beyblades continued to crash together, in a beautiful display of sparks. When Queen's beyblade took a quick zoom to the right, and hit Kai's beyblade head on, pushing his beyblade left, right into the grips of King's beyblade. All while their bit-beasts were fighting constantly.

Zeo noticed that Dranzer appeared to be weakening, as so was Kai. He had to do something! Soon, Zeo felt something warm in his pocket. He noticed a purple light glowing out of the pocket. He felt inside it, and his searching hands grasped upon his Cerberus beyblade. He looked up to see Kai's beyblade being attacked all over. Kai felt the blows being made to his bit-beast, and beyblade. He was on one knee now, struggling to get up.

Sweat poured off his face, and cuts were all over his chest and legs. Queen laughed at this sight, "He must be worn out from the last battle! Don't worry; you'll have a quick defeat!"

"I'll never give up!" Kai said, wearily standing up, but eyes full of energy. King sniggered, "Finish him off...come on, what do ya say Queen?" Queen nodded in agreement, "Yes, I do say. His annoying me. GO GABRIEL!" "GO ARIEL!" The duo cried out.

"NO!" Zeo cried, lunching his beyblade into the battle, "I won't let you win!" Kai was stunned at this surprising act. "Zeo?" He asked, confused. "Come on Kai! Let's win!" Zeo said confidently. Kai was a little angry, for he had wanted to beat King and Queen on his own, but this time he would team up for Zeo, just this once.

Kai and Zeo's beyblades swung around, and sped towards King and Queen's beyblades. All four beyblades clashed together, and then all flew back from the powerful waves of energy. "I'll back you up Kai!" Zeo announced, "Finish them off!" He smiled, looking at Kai with a wink.

Kai grinned, and thrusting his arm forward, cried out, "Get them Dranzer!" Dranzer body was covered with red flames, as it sped forward towards Gabriel, and Ariel. Kai's body also was covered in a red film, as was his beyblade. Kai's beyblade seemed to charge up with a short engine rumble, and took off at the King and Queen beyblades with Cerberus following close behind.

The surprised, King and Queen, franticly ordered their beyblades to stop the pursuing, angry beyblade, but failed miserably as Kai's beyblade shot at King's beyblade like a bullet, and ripped it apart. The glowing pieces flew before King's shocked eyes, as they fell to the ground with a sound that sent King scrambling to the ground crying, as the last shimmer from the pieces of his beyblade disappeared. Ariel, his bit-beast, sent a low moan of defeat, and disappeared before his astonished eyes.

Kai smirked with a soft laugh, "One down, another fool to go..." But this remark did not frighten Queen, oh no, it made her mad, "Your starting to aggravate ME!" Queen yelled, clinching her fists tightly. A thin white glow surrounded her body, as she pointed a shaking finger at the amused Kai, "I'm going to defeat you!"

Her beyblade, charged up, and zoomed towards Kai's beyblade. He was pretty shocked himself to see how fast her beyblade had gotten. He didn't know it, but her anger had charged up her beyblade, and her anger was strong indeed.

The two beyblades collided with each other, but hers was stronger, and sent Kai's packing into a wall. The wall broke, spattering bricks everyway. One nearly hit Zeo's beyblade, but with a quick spin to the right, it was missed by inches. Kai, gasped for breath, as he too felt the powerful blow to his chest. He fell on one knee, trying with all his might to stand up, pushing his limits, as he was terribly exasperated. The red glowing that had surrounded Kai, and his beyblade was now gone. He had used up all of his precious energy. "No...I told myself that I was going to win this time! Why-why can't I win for once? I'm a failure..." Kai thought angrily.

Queen's mouth twisted into a faint smile, as she called Gabriel to execute the final blow. The beyblade seemed to stutter, but only for a moment before it went out in a cadence towards Kai's worn out beyblade.

(Author's note: Sorry for using the big words. I was trying to firmly print those words into my mind, from school, and decided on using them for this story. Cadence means: rhythmic flow, movement.)

But before the Gabriel could hit Kai's beyblade, Cerberus careened into the battle, like a snake lunching itself at its prey, and shot Queen's beyblade out of the way. It flew back a ways, and then skid to a stop with Queen's roaring as a result, "You stupid kid! You should have stayed out of this!" She proclaimed.

But Zeo remained undaunted by this remark it only galvanized him. He ran over to the struggling Kai, and helped him up. "Come now Kai..." Zeo chuckled, "Where's your spirit?"

(Galvanized: arouse, excite, stimulate)

"That's...what I'd like to know..." Kai sputtered weakly. Zeo strode forward to the angry Queen, and proudly said out loud, "Kai's going to win!" Queen, and Kai were both shocked by this comment. Kai, was astonished. Queen, was confused and disgusted. "Look at him, you think he can win in that state?" She asked, her tone sounding like a snigger. Zeo's face deepened into a frown, "He will! He's the best!"

Zeo then quickly ran back over to Kai, "Get her! You can do it Kai!" He said, patting Kai on his back. Kai didn't mind the encouragement this time, in face he needed it, although he didn't want to admit it. So he mustered up all the strength he had, and went forward proudly, "This is where it ends." Kai said, solemnly.

"Bring it." Queen taunted.

Zeo's beyblade spun towards him, and jumped up so that he could pick it up. He didn't want to be in Kai's way for this exciting battle. Suddenly a huge explosion came before they could begin. A loud cry rang throughout the air, which Kai thought sounded like a girl. "Got to go!" Queen said quickly, picking up her beyblade and running away. "Come back here!" Kai screamed, chasing after her, but Zeo stopped him, saying, "Let's go see where the explosion came from." Kai pondered this, and agreed, thinking that it would be more interesting.

The two boys ran off in the direction of the explosion, leaving King to pick up the lacerated pieces of his beyblade.

Nearby, Doctor K and Zagart were busy trying to recuperate from the explosion. "Where did she go?" D. K coughed, as she tried to fan away the dust that was everywhere, "I don't know! She's so fast!"

Zagart grabbed the woman in anger, and yelled in her face, "You idiot! She's the one! We have got to find her!"

D. K pushed Zagart off of her, and huffed, "I know that! But where would she go?"

Zagart crossed his arms, "She's an orphan, and so she lives anywhere! So let's start searching!" He then dusted himself off, and hastily walked away with Doctor K following closely behind."

Kai, and Zeo found the location where the explosion had been. A large crater sized hole was planted in the cement of the street. "What power..." Kai thought out loud, "Who could have done this?" Zeo shrugged, "No idea...but that's what we're going to find out."

"Dranzer...Sense around. Where did this person go to?" Kai inquired thoughtfully.

"Hmm, this way Master!" Dranzer pointed out. It was an alleyway, that wasn't too far away. "Ray is down there also." Kai's eyes widened, he grabbed Zeo and said, "Down there, and Dranzer said that Ray is there also." "Really?" Zeo asked with amazement.

"Bit-beasts never lie." Kai laughed, but soon stopped as they raced towards the alleyway.

They soon came to the alleyway. It was dark, and gloomy, and very quiet. You could hear a pin drop. Zeo shivered, "I don't really want to go, but well, I'm more curious than I am scared." Kai rolled his eyes, and started to walk down the darkened alleyway. Zeo raced after him; he didn't want to get left behind.

Halfway down it, Kai and Zeo could hear a faint voice that sounded like...Ray's! "It sounds like he's talking to someone." Kai whispered. Soon they came to a dead end, but on their right was another path. Zeo was about to start walking down it, but Kai stopped him, "Let's listen..." He suggested. Zeo nodded in agreement.

They hid behind the corner, and listened intently.

"Did they hurt you...?" Came Ray's concerned tone of voice.

"No..." Echoed a quiet, yet firm voice. The town boys could tell that this person who was talking to Ray was clearly ticked off, and wanted to be left alone.

"May I stay with you? They may come back again." Ray asked, worried about the safety of this person.

"No..." Came the same reply of bitterness.

"Please...you might get hurt!" Cried Ray. His voice became louder, and more worried.

"I won't get...hurt. I'll never get hurt...never..." Then the person's voice became more angry and frustrated, "Never again!"

"You've been through a lot. I understand your pain." Ray spoke softly.

"Get away from me!" The person screamed, Kai and Zeo could then hear a quick rap of a punch, and Ray's short gasp as he fell upon the ground, and Ray fell right into their gaze.

"What...what are you doing here"? Ray said with a gasp. Kai picked him up, "Looking for you...who are you talking to?" Ray pointed quietly at a black-cloaked person at the end of the path who was kneeling down so that you couldn't see their face.

Kai began to walk down the path, but Ray's eyes got wide as he tried to stop him, "Stop! Don't! She's been through a whole lot! She's not ready for people!"

"A girl?" Kai asked, but he was too close to the black-cloaked girl. Underneath the black hood, which shadowed the entire face. Two eyes glowed with a bright, yellow light. Suddenly with a flash, a whirl of energy swept all three boys off their feet, and flung them into the brick wall, and then fell painfully into the stone floor.

"She's a girl?" Kai asked in surprisment.

"Yes...she's the one..." Ray gasped happily.

"What?" Zeo yelped out loud, "She's the legendary one? How can that be?"

"She been abused, has great power and potential, and she's the one Doctor K and your father Zagart are after. They found her a short while after Kai blew up your mansion. She matches the clues perfectly. You should see her bit-beast...it's..." Ray gasped again, and continued, "It's amazing..."

"I can't believe this...a girl!" Kai grumbled, "A girl for the chosen one..."

Ray shook his head, and snapped, "Kai! Girl's can be strong too! Like Mariah!"

"Whatever..." Kai said, turning his head the other way.

Suddenly the girl screamed, as Doctor K, and Zagart jumped down and grabbed her from behind. "Got ya now girlie!" Zagart growled.

"Hey let her go!" Zeo yelled, standing up quickly. As well as Kai, and Ray.

"Not in a million years, son!" Zagart fumed, "Don't you see? This girl is the key to power and fame!" He explained, grasping the girl ever more tighter.

"I don't want to use people to get that stuff!" Zeo shouted angrily.

Zagart's eyes narrowed, "Fine, miss out! Queen stop them!" Queen soon jumped down from on top of one of the roofs. She then pulled out her beyblade and lunched once again, and attached them together. So did Kai, Ray, and Zeo.

"As I said before..." Kai grinned, "This ends now..."
