Chapter Four: Battle of the Day
..:..Japan..:..
"Your little friend is right," smirked Ken, "What if I kick your ass?"
"Dream on! I'm the world champion!" chuckled Tyson.
Ken rolled his eyes, "You ask for it!"
With that, he pulled out a different shaded blue blade; dark at the bottom and getting lighter at the top. Along with it is dragon-like attack rings. Tyson pulled out his usual white blade with a picture of Dragoon in the middle. Kenny opened his laptop and fixed the small camera at the two bladers. "Dizzy, try and record the whole battle."
"Way ahead of you, Chief!" exclaimed Dizzy.
Hilary placed both of her hands on her hips, "Who is he anyways?"
"Beats me!" Dizzy said as she set up the camera screen on the computer.
"Three," started Ken, "two, one... LET IT RIP!"
"Go Dragoon!" yelled Tyson, launching his blade.
Ken followed suit and crossed his arms, 'All this training with the others better be worth it....'
Tyson smirked, "Dragoon! It's time to fight head on!"
The white dragon arose from its slumber and let out a mighty cry. Tyson let out a smile, "What do you think?"
"Impressive," comment Ken, sniffing, "But watch mines!"
Cold navy blue eyes set on his multi-blue colored blade, "Artic! Arise from your sleep!"
Kenny's eyes widened as a bright light flash through the sky. Hilary shut her eyes tightly and flinched, "What's going on?!"
"The bit beast is out! He has one!" exclaimed Kenny, "Dizzy, are you getting this?"
"Yes, but there's no data!"
"No... data?!"
Dark navy blue eyes stare at the new bit beast in front of him. A light tint of pale blue artic fox howled. Its eyes opened, cobalt blue eyes on Dragoon. Dragoon stare back with its cold blue eyes. Tyson let out a soft growl.
Ken released a cool smile, "Artic... it's time to show what we've been working on.... ICICLE TUNDRA !"
The lone wolf howled and icicles appeared, floating off the ground. Soon, the cement ground turned into snow ice. Hilary let out a small gasped as she slightly jumped up.
"What is this?!"
"It's not a magic trick...." muttered Kenny, "It's actually for real...."
Tyson couldn't move, his amazement drawn into the winter scene around him. The artic fox ran towards Dragoon, the icicles following him. Dragoon quickly went to defense mode, bracing himself for the attack. Artic leaped over Dragoon, having the icicles attacking the dragon head on. Tyson laid his blue eyes back to his bit beast.
"Dragoon! Hang on!"
"Oh, too bad... your little dragon is just too weak...." chuckled Ken, adjusting his glasses.
The white dragon let out a weak roar, scars all over its body. Soon, a bright light shone over Dragoon. It soon dispersed and returned back to its blade. Tyson's eyes widened, with fright and shock. Ken called back his blade and shove it back into his pockets.
"This is a waste of my time. If this was a real tournament... you'll suffer like hell...."
"Tournament?" Kenny asked, standing up, "There's a tournament?"
"... I'll let you think about that, yes?" He said, walking off.
Hilary walked up to Tyson, her eyes on Ken. She soon have her brown eyes on her classmate. She opened her mouth, but shut it once again, not knowing what to say to him. Tyson balled his fist tightly until his knuckles nearly turned white. He shut his eyes, holding back his tears.
"DAMN IT!"

"A test.... If you are not a chicken!"
It was Kai's turn to smirk at the mysterious boy.
"Heh... I'm not chicken... I'll show you who's going to win this battle."
"Oh, thank you. It's going to be me anyways." With his remark, he commanded his blade back and set it onto his launcher. Kai followed the lead and concentrated.
"Three... two... one...." counted Lyosuke.
"GO DRANZER!" commanded Kai, launching the blue blade.
Lyosuke ripped the cord, having his blood red blade with phoenix-like attack rings run around the dish.
"Time for you to test defeat!" exclaimed Lyosuke, pointing at the BladeBreakers' leader, "CRIMSON! ARISE!"
A blood red falcon with two golden horns and long talon arose from its slumber. Opening its orangey-red eyes, the scene is somewhat mystical to Kai. The arrogant leader shook it off and growled.
"DRANZER! FLAME SABER!"
The red phoenix appeared, sounding off its battle cry. A flame-like aura surrounded Dranzer, flying towards the falcon with high speed.
Lyosuke smirked, "FLAMING STARS !"
The color of red surrounded Crimson. Its wings spread opened, making many redish-orange stars appear. Kai's eyes widened.
"NO!"
"ATTACK!" commanded Lyosuke.
The stars flew towards the phoenix, piercing through its wings. Kai slightly winced at the pain he is seeing before him. Dranzer let out a weak cry for mercy... but it didn't stop.
Before the two-toned blue haired boy knew, the battle was over. His blue blade flew across the dish and landed near his feet. Lyosuke called his blade back and let out a huge smirk with victory, chuckling softly.
"Well well well... looks like the leader is weak. You are disqualified."
Kai's gray eyes widened, "What?"
"Oh nothing. I'll leave you to your suffering."
He then slowly walked away, disappearing with the wind.
The lonely blader bends over and picked up his blade. He stares at Dranzer for a long time. He gripped tightly on his blade and screamed on top of his lungs.
..:..America..:..
"Test me? Hey! I'm part of the team that's the world champion! What is there you want to test me?"
"You'll see, little Maxie!" chuckled the girl, a smirk still drawn on her face, "For now... let's find a dish and let it rip!"
"No problem! Just follow me!" exclaimed Max. He opened the door of the BBA, gesturing her to come in.
As she continued to follow the defense blader, her eyes scanned around the doors and many clear windows that showed scientists studying over beyblades.
"Maxie!" exclaimed a woman's voice.
Max smiled cheerfully, "Mom!"
The girl looked away, ' Great... just what we need.... '
"Who's this?" asked Judy, looking at the girl.
"Well...." stammered Max, glancing over at the mysterious blader.
"I'm Keisuke," she instantly answered, "But that's not the point! Let's battle!"
'Man, she's impatient! ' thought Max.
-----
After many minutes, both bladers stood on each side of the dish. Judy nodded at one of the workers.
"Ready?"
"Ready!" exclaimed Max.
"Three...." Keisuke pulled out her white blade with dragon-like attack rings in different shades of blue.
"Two...." he muttered, pulling out Draciel.
"One...." Judy counted over the intercom.
"LET IT RIP!" exclaimed the bladers, sending the blades into the dish.
Draciel took defense in the middle of the dish as Keisuke's blade ran around it. She sighed, "This is so stupid yet boring," she muttered.
"What?" Max blinked with confusion.
"Fear the dragon that will haunt you forever!" she screamed, "LUMINOUS! ARISE!"
Max stared at the bit beast before him. Luminous is a large white dragon with purssian blue eyes. Judy's eyes widened.
"Are you getting the data?!"
"No results!"
Judy quickly faced the man, "What...?"
The blond-haired boy couldn't move... he was in shock.
" CRUSHING LUMINOSITY!" shouted Keisuke, pointing at Max's blade.
"Maxie!" exclaimed Judy over the intercom.
"Draciel! VIPER WALL!"
Just before the purple turtle can even make her appearance, the white dragon took charge, shoving the blade out of the ring. Keisuke smugly smiled with improvement, picking up her blade.
"You know... you are not tournament material."
Max blinked, "What?"
"... I hope you learned your lesson... the tournament in Taiwan was just smothering you. Our tournament is harder."
Keisuke turned her heel and walked off. Judy stood frozen in her place.
'What's... going on...?!'
..:..China..:..
"LET IT RIP!" shouted Ray, launching his blade. Raikou followed suit and launched her blade also. After several seconds, the young girl can only smile... a smile that says, "I win!".
"And Raikou wins this match against Ray!"
Mariah blinked with confusion as Lee set his dark eyes onto the dish. Ray's golden cat-like eyes widened with disbelief. How can this be possible? The dish is shattered to pieces, and only Raikou's beyblade spun in the middle. The black-haired boy's blade was broken to pieces.
"Driger!" Ray exclaimed, retrieving it.
Raikou smiled, "Raikou is guessing that Ray will lose in the upcoming tournament, right?"
"T-tournament?" stuttered Mariah.
The fifteen-year-old girl brushed her dark violet hair as she watched Ray slowly grab the pieces of his white blade.
"Oh! Raikou must leave now, or Raikou's leader will be mad! Raikou says bye!"
With that, the young girl ran off, leaving the three Chinese teenagers alone. Ray slumped down with defeat, replaying the battle over and over again in his head. Mariah glanced over at Lee. Lee sighed.
"C'mon, Ray.... Let's go and fix your blade."
