Disclaimer: hmm…I don't think I own Beyblade or else Tyson and Kenny and Hilary would be long dead by now. snickers evilly No. I only own the OC's and the plot.

NOTE

This is my first fanfic so be nice to it. I'm going to put a bit of romance into it later on but as you may be able to tell, these OC's aren't the type for romance.

I hate Kenny and Tyson and Hilary so if you are a Tyson fan or an obsessed Kenny fan or an obsessed Hilary fan, then don't take this seriously. I'll be nicer to them since I know there are fans out there…

Chapter 1: New Beginnings

A girl around the age of sixteen lay on her bed in her mansion. She had light blue hair that spread around her pillow. It was streaked in white and darker blue. Her eyes…no one had seen her eyes for the last few years now. Everyone who did know her eye colour had forgotten what it was. Even herself. She wore a loose long sleeved shirt. A white one which had a ripple design. Her pants were navy blue, almost black., and one could mistake them for a dress because of its looseness. She looked at the girl on the bed next to her. She was obsessed with blue, like herself. Her navy blue hair [no not Tyson hair] was tied to the back of her head and then twisted forward again. She looked at her.

/What, Wing?/

/Nothing…I was just thinking./

They heard each other's voices inside their heads.

/Um Wing, your brain is made out of mush./

/Be quiet, Aqua./

Aqua. The name suggested gentle, carefree, and shyness. Wing looked at her friend again. She was everything but gentle, carefree, and shy. Again, her blue sunglasses hid her eyes well. That was Wing's doing. She had a red tank top underneath her blue cloak. She wore a black skirt which had an occasional trace of silver and black runners. Around her neck was a blue stone, held in place by a silver chain.

Aqua was a fierce warrior. Like her element, she was unpredictable. She could be very nice at one moment and very nasty the next. But Aqua was Aqua. She was cold, ruthless, merciless, and rude. Except to a select few.

/What, the queen of the world now?/

/Look, I'm serious./

/You always are./

/They're here./

            On the other side of Tokyo, a certain blue haired boy was picking up his cousin. He also wore sunglasses, but they were black. The hair stuck out in all directions, and the parts of the hair that stuck out were dyed fire red. He had a red vest with black leather straps and nearly identical boots. His pants were a very pale shade of blue and he wore long black gloves. Around his neck was a deep red jewel held in place by a silver chain

            He spoke. "Storm"

            Storm greeted him with the same amount of coldness. "Flame"

            Then they switched to telepathy.

            /How's it going?/

            /Fine. You?/

            /Tough./

            /C'mon, it isn't that bad, is it Storm?/

            /It very well is./

            /Well we better get back to the hotel./

            /We have to stay in a hotel?/

            /For tonight and tomorrow at the most./

            /You trust Wing?/

            /Yeah the same way you trust Aqua./

            /I don't trust her./

            /Whatever./

            They settled in the hotel, though they didn't sleep. They didn't need to. Back in the days of secrecy, they had pretended to, not to arouse any suspicions. Now, it was a whole new game.

[Back in the mansion]

            Wing was listening. According to what her brother had told her, they were supposed to come tonight. Then she felt it. It was a familiar feeling, as if some old part of her came back.

            "Listen," She ordered.

            Aqua stopped reading and listened. Then she looked at her and nodded, confirming what Wing had figured

            On the other side of Tokyo at a certain hotel, two boys jerked out of their tranquility. They had been called. They looked at each other, cruel smiles playing on their lips. It was the time they had been training and waiting for.

            Time to resurrect the Celestial Bladers.

"He what?" asked Tyson incredulously.

            The Bladebreakers were at Mr. Dickinson's office, getting informed about the new tournament coming up…and some unexpected news.

            "He retired."

            "Don't worry, Tyson. Remember what happened last time we thought Kai retired?" asked Ray. Deep down, though, he knew this time Kai wasn't going to be coming back.

            "Yeah, He'll come round." Added Kenny.

            "I still can't believe it, though." Said Tyson.

            "Didn't think you cared." Teased Hilary.

            Mr. Dickinson took charge. "Anyway, on the happier note, there's going to be a world cup tournament."

            Tyson cheered. "We're gonna win this."

            Hilary frowned. "Shut up Tyson and stop being so immature."

            Tyson glared at Hilary.

            "So anyway, the tournament's going to be held right here, so you guys don't have to go anywhere." Started Mr. Dickinson again. "The teams passed the preliminaries…you didn't have to do that since you were the champs…are…"

            "Do we know them?" interrupted Tyson.

            "Just shut up and listen." Replied Max impatiently.

            "Yes you know them. The All-Starz, The White Tigers, [Ray blushed a deep red at this point] The Majestics, the Saint Shields…"

            "Ozuma's participating?" asked Hilary

            "Obviously," remarked Tyson with a bored look on his face.

            "Okay back to the subject. The Psychics, and the Demolition Boys."

            "WHAT????" all of the Bladebreakers were incredulous.

            "They got through so yeah they're attending." Replied Mr. Dickinson simply.

            "There are seven teams, including us." Said Ray. "Who's the eighth?"

            "That's who I want to talk about. They're a group of mysterious bladers. They call themselves the Celestials. And we know close to nothing about them."

            "What?"

            "That's right."

            "What are their bit-beasts?" asked Kenny

            "We don't know if they have bit-beasts or not. They didn't say anything about them, summon them, nothing."

            "Then they don't have bit-beasts." Remarked Ray simply.

            "I won't be so sure if I were you." Said Mr. Dickinson. "They showed traces of bit beasts at the preliminaries."

            "Don't worry, Mr. D. We'll figure them all out." Said Tyson confidently

            "Okay. Now there's just one new rule."

            Tyson stopped halfway through the door. "What?"

            "No one gets to pick who they're blading. We draw. For the third match, the team captains go against each other. Which brings me to the next question. Who's your team captain?"

            The Bladebreakers looked at each other.

            "I vote Tyson." Hilary said after thinking a while.

            Max was all for it. "Yeah."

            Kenny wasn't so sure. "I vote Ray."

            Mr. Dickinson spoke up. "If I get a vote, I'd also vote Ray. You guys wouldn't have any training done if Tyson was captain."

            Ray was reasoning. They were tied. Three against three. He asked Mr. Dickinson. "Did Kai say anything?"

            Mr. Dickinson started. He had almost forgot. "Oh when Kai came he gave me a letter to give to you. Sorry I forgot." He handed the letter over.

            Ray opened it. The rest of the Bladebreakers huddled over to read.

            Dear Bladebreakers

            If you are reading this letter now, then you still want my opinion, which is more than I can ask of you, seeing how I've been through the past few years. I want you to know that I haven't betrayed you. I still want the well being of the team. I dropped out because of circumstances out of my control. I am sorry for that.

            Take care

            Your [ex] team mate.

            Kai

           

            PS. I don't know if you still consider me part of the team, but I need to point out that you need a new captain So I think you'll be better off with Ray.

            Tyson frowned. "He's always that brief and to the point, isn't he?"

            Kenny read the letter again. "At least we got what we wanted. Ray's captain."

            The rest of the Bladebreakers agreed.

            Ray had one last question. "So these new bladers…how are they like?"

            Mr. Dickinson thought for a while. "They're rude. And cold."

            Ray slid to the back of the room. "No. They can't be who I think they are." He thought to himself.

            The Bladebreakers filed out of the room, followed by Mr. Dickinson.

            Had they stayed a little bit longer, they would have noticed tall the male figure burst out of the shadows, open the window, and jump outside.

            Ray looked around the room at Max, making sure he was asleep. He had to be very careful. Secrecy was one of their major factors, even from each other. Not for the first time, he wished he was a Guardian. They could talk to their bit-beasts with their minds, making it so that it was physically impossible for anyone else to find their secret. But the guardians had left years ago. And he was not a Guardian. Quietly, he took Driger and slipped outside to the balcony, closing the door behind him. Then he covered his hand over the bit chip and pulled out the green jewel from underneath his shirt. The jewel glowed a little, and so did the chip. The tiger emerged.

            "Any sign of her?" asked Ray [A/N I know Dranzer's a boy but I'm making her a girl in this fic]

            "Nope" replied Driger.

            "There's no reason Dranzer would just…leave us like that."

            "I don't know."

            "There could be a crisis." Dragoon put in. He had heard the conversation.

            "You sure that…"

            "Tyson's sleeping like he always is. It's hard to get any decent sleep with him around."

            "Max is. I think." Draciel put in. He had just come out of the room.

            "Good."

            "So something could have happened." Dragoon repeated

            "But she's done so without us knowing" Remarked Driger

            "Not even during the time about Black Dranzer." Added Draciel.

            "You've got a point there." Said Dragoon thoughtfully.

            "Maybe Kai's a mage?" asked Draciel

            "No he isn't I asked Eltila myself."

            "Oh."

            Ray looked out into the distance.

            Max looked at the bed next to his. It was empty. Every night, around this time, he had awakened, just to find Ray in the balcony. And for the last week, he had listened to what he said, since he could only hear fragments of it. He had finally pieced the puzzle together. And he did not know what Ray's reaction would be if he knew he had found out. Still, Max could no longer hold it in. He was going to tell Ray tonight.

            Ray was still talking to the bit beasts when he heard a soft moan from the room. Instantly, he spun around, seeing Max standing there, rubbing his eyes.

            "How long have you known?" he asked

            "About a week." Max replied

            "Did you tell anybody?"

            "No, but can you explain this to me? Every night you've been talking to Driger. And Draciel and Dragoon. You can talk to bit beasts?"

            Ray sighed. "Yeah."

            "and?"

            "Let me start all over."

            "It's okay, you don't have to tell me everything since I do get the impression that you would like to keep this private, but answer this: Why didn't you tell us?"

            "You know there's been people trying to steal our bit beasts. That's why. It can be anyone. Also, I didn't want to worry you. This threat…is real. Anyone can do this. Anyone can strike at any time."

            "Are there any more of you?"

            "eight in total."

            "Who are they?"

            "I'm not sure…"

            "You're not?"

            "We never know who's who. And when we will meet each other when…"

            "When?"

            "When we're meant to."

            "Exactly?"

            "I don't know."

            "But Blading…isn't it just a game?"

            Ray sighed. "I wish it was just a game."

            "I'm confused."

            "Well you see, aeons of years ago, there were no bit beasts. Not as we knew them today. They were real…creatures, if you like. Things that we could touch. They possessed the same powers as bit beasts today…but they were…realer."

            "Really? So what happened?"

            "Well, things were much like today. People wanted power. People wanted world domination. And they tried to capture these creatures. And when the earth was…dark, these four people appeared. Among us, they are the Guardians. They sealed the powers into bit chips."

            "Where are they now?"

            "They were so sought after that they fled somewhere. We don't know."

            "Where do you come in?"

            "Me, and the other seven, are supposed to watch over the bit beasts until they came back, which won't be any time soon, I think."

            "I'm still confused."

            "I might explain more later."

            "So why were these four so…wanted."

            "Firstly, Eltila, Guardian of Air and the East, possessed the first bit beast, Harpona. It's the only one I remember…it was long ago. But Harpona was the only bit beast of an element other than Fire, Water, Air and Earth. She was a Light element. It was…different…and she could use the other elements. Harpona was powerful. When Eltila left, she hid Harpona somewhere, and now she is forgotten."

            "Oh."

            "You should go to bed."

            "Why don't you?"

            "I don't need as much sleep."

            "Okay."

            "One last thing. Don't tell Tyson or Kenny or Hilary. It's just that I want to keep this private for as long as possible."

            "Fine."

            Max rolled over and fell asleep. Then Ray looked out into Japan before lying on his bed, with a bright green jewel between his hands.

Unigirl: So please I need the names of a few bit beasts. I'm really bad at names. Really bad. So first I need bit beast names for all the psychics since I don't really want them using computerized bit beasts. They have to have one thing in common. Ex: All the Bladebreaker's bit beasts start with Dr. Also I need a bit beast name that starts with Dr for the new Bladebreaker. And also I thought I should take out Tala from the demolition boys so I need a bit beast with borg at the end. Please it would be so helpful and that's why I wont write until I get the input since I need to introduce the new bladebreaker next chapter. Also please include a short description including element and what it looks like. I may modify it a bit. [oh and don't worry Tala and Kai will both be included in this fic.] If you have an OC I might include it so just tell me.

One more thing. Reviewing is not hard. PLEASE REVIEW. Just press the button on the bottom left hand corner that says 'submit review' and type. PLEASE REVIEW. I WILL NOT WRITE UNTIL I GET REVIEWS!
