Beyblade:
The Bit-Beast Chronicles

Last Time: Nikki, one of the members of the FIREARMS, was badly injured in her battle with Rei and was brought to Tyson's house for treament. But, the Bladebreakers as well as Ozuma and Mariam, didn't know how respond to the atittude that she was giving them.

Kai, on the other hand, knew that Nikki was just paranoid and decided to beybattle her; where the stakes are more than expected: If Kai wins, she tell everything she knew about the Firearms's mission. If Nikki should win, she get Kai's bit-beast, Dranzer!

During the beybattle, Nikki realized that her friendship with an enemy wasn't so bad as the match ended in a draw. Now, Nikki returns to her own group, leaving her new friends behind.........

-----------------------------

Episode 18: Tekken's Origin

-The Beach-

Nikki walked up to the water that was near her hideout. It was nearly morning as the sun rose up. The wind blew silently as someone called her.

"Nikki! NIKKI!" a voice said. She turned to see that her friend, Pyro, was running up to her. "Hey, Pyro!" she said. "Where the Hell have you been?" Pyro asked. "Sorry, I worried you Pyro. I was badly injured during my battle with Rei. But I brought back a surprise!" Nikki showed him her new beyblade. "Woah!" Pyro said surprisingly, "That's a Metal Series Beyblade! Where the Hell did you get something like that!?"

Nikki explained everything little by little.

"WHAT?!" Pyro said, "YOU LET THE BLADEBREAKERS FIX UP NOT ONLY JAGER DRIGER, BUT YOUR INJURES AS WELL?! BUT, THEY ARE OUR ENEMIES!"

"They're very good friends!" Nikki said, "You should give them a chance! Oh, and speaking of friends, where's Tekken?" Pyro turned around and said, "He's still down there. He hasn't left that cave in two days now. Tekken must of been really humiliated!" Nikki's eyes were saddened; she never forgotten about that.

"Oh, Tekken!" she spoke softly not even for Pyro to here, "Are you really that upset after your battle with Tyson?"

------

-Inside the cave-

Barely enough light, Tekken laid in a spot with his arms and legs spread out. He was looking up at the ceiling of the cave; not even speaking a solid word. Inside his left hand, his broken beyblade, Hyper Dranzer G, sat. Only the bit-chip wasn't cracked.

A few seconds later, Tekken closed his eyes.

'If the bit-beasts were not the purpose of fighting the Bladebreakers, what was it then?!'

------------------------------------

'I never thought that they still be a fomidable threat to the Firearms, even when we captured two of the sacred bit-beasts!' Tekken thought as he sat up.

'If they got stronger, we we did the same! When they upgraded their beyblades, so did we! We did everything we could to match up against the Bladebreakers! But, during my battle with Tyson changed everything! There was no doubt, in my mind, that I was ready to take on his ultimate techinque: The Beyblade Fusion!'

-Flashback-

"Sorry Tekken, but I have no intension of losing to you!" Tyson said smiling as he raised his hand up in the air, "DRAGOON!" Suddenly, Dragoon was transformed into a sphere of energy. Tyson, with a sign of confidence, inserted Dragoon into his own being.

"DRAGONZORD!"

Dragoon CF was transformed into a dragon's head of pure light.

-End Flashback-

'If I would of known it sooner....' Tekken thought as he looked at his broken Hyper Dranzer G, 'If I would of noticed this from the start, I could of taken him! But, now look at me! Because of me, I gave them the advantage of the start of Project D! I haven't changed since back then! I'm still the person that I was!'

Angry at himself, Tekken through his broken beyblade at a lake inside the cave. Then his fustration calmed. 'Why should I be angry at myself? Or Tyson for that matter. I gave the best that I could in that match! There was no argument there. I guess there no way for me or the team can get the bit-beasts now..............'

Suddenly, Tekken fell in the lake like as if somebody had pushed him in there...........

With no solid effort to help himself to the surface, Tekken sank to the bottom of the lake. 'So......this is the way my life gonna end, huh?' he thought as he closed his eyes, 'I'm not surprised one little bit............I couldn't capture the four bit-beasts, and I failed my team. I don't even know my real purpose of taking on the Bladebreakers.................'

Everything went black.

When Tekken opened his eyes, he noticed that he wasn't in the cave anymore.

"Huh?" he said silently, "Where am I?"

He started to walk around the city to find out where he was...............

"I'm in COLORADO!" he said, "This is where I live!"

----------------------------

'How'd I get here?' Tekken thought, 'A minute ago, I was in Japan. The next I know, I'm wondering around in Colorado. The funny thing is.........nobody can see or hear me. This is weird.....'

Tekken was right. He was invisible to everyone as he looked around.

Minutes later, he came across a house he looked at very carefully. "Why does this place look so familiar to me?" he asked silently.

"Let It Rip!" a voice yelled. 'Huh? A beybattle?' Tekken ran towards the backyard of the house.

"That's it! Take him down!" Tekken saw a young boy, at the age of 10, wearing a blue bandana, a black sleeveless shirt, and white pants. The young boy's hair & eyes were just like his. Tekken saw that he had a gray beyblade and it was going up against a red beyblade. The kid was doing extremely well for someone who looked like a rookie.

"This kid is remarkable!" Tekken said, 'He makes the battle between Tyson and Kai, in the Regional Tournament, seems like nothing!'

"FINAL ATTACK!" the young boy yelled as he knocked the red beyblade off balance, "Alright! I won! Just wait, one day I'll be in the..............." "World Championship?!" Tekken said silently, "I remember now! That's kid is.............ME! Now, it's all clear! I used to live in this house!"

"Tekken!" a voice said, "Come inside, dear!" "OK, Mom!" young Tekken said running inside.

Still shocked at what he saw, Tekken lowered his head. 'My own mother called me in, to tell me that, I would be staying with my Uncle in Japan until my parents came back from a business trip. But......

They never came back.................

My Uncle told me that they had died in a fatal car accident.........It tore me apart............'

-------

Suddenly, everything around Tekken became black. "Huh?" he voice echoed, "What's going on?"

Seconds later, he opened his eyes to see that he was in another place. "I'm back in Japan," he replied softly, "What I remember was 8 months after my parents passed away, I restarted my life." Tekken looked foward to see his younger self beyblading with his new friends. "I made new friends, as well continued as passion for Beyblading."

Suddenly, one of young Tekken's friends, who was a year younger than him, ran to him. "What's the matter?" young Tekken asked. "Bobby is getting jumped by the Blade Sharks!" "The Blade Sharks!?" 'Bobby had a thrill for the sport of Beyblading. He wanted to become a world champion like me. But, I can't remember why does it have to do with the Blade Sharks!'

Young Tekken got there, but it was too late............

Bobby's beyblade was shattered into pieces! He started crying after that. Young Tekken grew angrier.

"Do you mind telling me what did you do that for?!" he shouted, "You had no right to shatter his beyblade without cause!" "Simple," a voice said, "Because he was getting on my nerves." A blue haired boy with a scarf around his neck, appeared in front of young Tekken. Tekken (The Older Version) was shocked at what he saw next. "You're little friend here, wasn't even a worthy opponent!" the blue haired boy said, "Are you strong enough to challenge me?"

"I be lying if I didn't want to accept this challenge," young Tekken said, "But if I win, YOU leave my friends alone PERIOD! End of discussion! From this point out, I'll let my beyblade do the talking!" The blue haired boy chuckled and said, "You have a fighting spirit, kid! But you're no match against the power of my Dranzer!"

'I remember now!' Tekken thought, 'I battled against Kai! On that same year, when he first met Tyson, Kenny, Max, and Rei!'

-------------------------------------------

3........2.......1.........LET IT RIP!

Both beyblades rushed at each other at good speed!

"Take him down!" young Tekken said as he gray beyblade rushed in!

"Attack, Dranzer S!" Kai yelled back as Dranzer S rushed as well.

Young Tekken's beyblade and Dranzer S clashed at each other not holding back at all. But, Dranzer S showed great promised in power as it knocked young Tekken's beyblade back, making it wobble a bit. "What happened?" young Tekken said. "Just like I said, kid!" Kai said with arms folded, "You maybe good, but you're no match against Dranzer!"

"You're kidding, right?!" young Tekken asked laughing, "You haven't even seen my best moves yet!" Young Tekken's beyblade came back to life. "STAR FORMATION BARRAGE!" The gray beyblade knocked around Dranzer S in a star formation, which was making Kai angry. "OK, kid!" he said gritting his teeth, "Enough's enough! Dranzer, I summon you!"

Suddenly, the bit chip of Dranzer S bursted a beam of pure light! Out came a huge red bird roaring in the sky!

"Wha--What IS THAT?!" young Tekken asked as he looked up.

"Meet my bit-beast, Dranzer!" Kai said smiling, "Now that I've called upon him! There's no way you can stop me now!" "We'll see about that!!" young Tekken yelled out, "FINAL ATTACK!" The gray beyblade rushed in. "TEKKEN!! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!" The older Tekken said.

"Dranzer!" Kai yelled, "SPIRAL SURVIVOR!"

Spinning like a spiral in the air, Dranzer S landed on top of young Tekken's beyblade; breaking a piece of the attack ring off! The gray beyblade stopped spinning after that.

Dranzer S returned to Kai's hand as Tekken (Older Version) stared in shock. 'I can't believe how humiliating that was for me!' Young Tekken dropped to his knees as Kai turned his back on him and said, "You're good kid! You're just not good enough."

-----

-Later that day.....-

Young Tekken was sitting on the sidewalk of his Uncle's house. He brought his knees to his chest, buried his head, and started. "I'll never be good......enough," he said tears dropping every second. Tekken watched his younger version give angst to himself. It was too bad that he couldn't comfort himself, but he stand there and do nothing.

"Why are you crying, little boy?" a voice said.

Young Tekken lifted his head as two kids stared at his tear-stained face. It was a boy and a girl; the girl was about the same age as young Tekken. The boy was a year older than both of them.

"I said, why are you crying?" the girl said. "I'll never be a good beyblader," young Tekken said softly. "Never is a long time!" the boy replied, "But maybe we can help you." "You can?!" "Sure." The little girl gave him a bit chip. "What's this?" young Tekken asked as he looked at the bit chip carefully, "It has a picture of an animal/beast of some kind." "That is called a bit-beast!" the boy said, "Once you summon a bit-beast, it'll give you a power boost in energy. Why don't you try it out!?"

Seconds later, young Tekken replaced th bit chip with the bit-beast chip and got ready to launch; even though he never repaired his beyblade. "LET IT RIP!" Once young Tekken released it, the beyblade was going out of control. "What's happening to it!?" he said. "YOU have to take control of your beyblade!" the boy said. "Quickly! Call on your bit-beast!" the girl said, "It'll help you in a tight spot!" 'C'mon Tekken!' the older Tekken said, 'You can do this!'

"BIT-BEAST! I SUMMON YOU!"

Suddenly, a purge of light appeared from the bit chip and outcame a fierce four-winged bird roaring in delight!

"That bit-beast!" young Tekken said, "It looks like the one that blue-haired boy had!" "It's yours, if you want it!" the girl said. "You've already managed to control your beyblade," the boy said. Once young Tekken looked at the bit-beast again, he smiled in suspense. "I'll call him...................Hyper Dranzer!" The bit-beast nodded in agreement.

And then yound Tekken made a declaration.

"AND FROM THIS POINT FOWARD, I WILL DO MY VERY BEST TO BECOME ONE OF THE BEST BEYBLADERS IN THE WORLD! AND NO ONE'S GONNA STOP ME!"

"Good declaration!" the boy said. "And we were so caught up in this, we forgot to introduce ourselves," the girl said.

"My name is Nikki."

"The name's Pyro."

"I'm Tekken!"

Tekken smiled at the three kids and closed his eyes.

------

Tekken woke up to find that he was still underwater in the cave.

'It makes sense now,' he thought, 'The Firearms' objective was never to capture the Bladebrakers' bit-beasts, but to battle them to see if we could stand up to their skill level! I lossed sight of that!'

Suddenly, something was glowing in his hands. He opened it and saw something very peculiar. "Hyper Dranzer!" he said, "You've been upgraded, but how? Why?" Then he heard something from afar. He turned to see two beyblades clashing and two people, who looked like they've been in a war!

"Time for me to finish this!"

"I won't lose.........not to you!"

'That sounds like me............................and Tyson! Is this my fate?! To battle Tyson one last time!?'

------

-Outside the cave-

Nikki and Pyro were training as the wind blew.

"Attack, Jager Driger!" Nikki yelled. "Agni Dragoon, counterattack!" Pyro yelled.

Jager Driger MS and Agni Dragoon S bashed each other around, but Jager Driger was getting the best. "Ha! Looks like I win this battle!" Nikki said smiling.

Then, a beyblade came out of nowhere and bash both of theirs. Nikki and Pyro (in a two-way split screen) were stunned. They turned to see the beyblade return to its owner, who was standing at the entrance to the cave. "Tekken!" Nikki said smiling big. "He looks different," Pyro said being serious.

Different indeed, Tekken looked like his body was cleansed of all hatred and evil as the wind blew his hair in his face.

"I realise..........................................my fate."

"Your fate!?" Nikki repeated. "Dude, what are you talking about?" Pyro asked.

"We are going to face the Bladebreakers................ONE LAST TIME!!! And this time, for the right reasons............."

---------------------------------------------

Narrator: What did Tekken see in that one-on-one battle? Is it true that his fate may bring him to a battle of epic porportions? And could the FIREARMS battle the Bladebreakers for the right reasons? Or something more?!

---------------------------------------------

-NEXT EPISODE-

Still having trouble controlling her bit-beast, Hyper Dragoon, Hilary asked the others to train her. But, this may be something she will regret asking; as well as they regret training her!

It's Hilary's most hilarious moments on the next Bit-Beasts Chronicles!

Beyblade: The Bit-Beast Chronicles 2nd Ending- Omokage

At the sideview of the face reflected in the mirror
I place it over you and
My heart is breaking.
Like the passing wind
I can't catch it
Why is it you?

The finger tips that will never reach
I hold them alone
The words that will never be exchanged are
Drifted into the stars into the starry sky

I won't turn back
Ah even sadness, even lonliness
Is the proof that we were born
Ah the flowing
End of my heart
I made up my mind.
