Anyway, I'm very happy all of you enjoyed my last chapter. I hope you also like this one! Oh and by the way...I'm gonna change how I narrate the story...instead of using 'he', 'his', 'him' and all the other pronouns referring to a male...will be changed to female! Actually...I've noticed this before...even a friend pointed this out to me! HAHAHA! So I took that chance and will be changing it to female pronouns and stuff!
Italics with underline- bitbeast talking to master (this one's different from Jie's inner thoughts/conscience)
I'll Make A Man Out of YouBy: Blue Savage
Chapter 6: Here Come the Asies
"And Tyson is the winner; the Bladebreakers are going to be excelled to the next round!"
The crowd roared in appreciation as the DJ Jazzman announced the winner.
Tyson came running towards his teammates showing a large beam as he grasped his beyblade. 'We did well Dragoon...' he said mentally as he placed his blade into his pocket.
"That was great Tyson! You improved a bit in your bitbeast control...according to Dizzi's calculation; you advanced 25-35% than your battling skill from the past two years! BRAVO!"
Tyson scratched the back of his neck, adjusting the cap on his head, "Hehehe, thanks Chief!"
"Hey, who here was the one who analyzed it?" interrupted a female voice coming from Kenny's laptop.
Tyson only scratched his nose in response, "You too Dizzi! You guys are big help!"
"Watch out for tomorrow's battle when the Bladebreakers compete with the La-la Paradise Team (A/N: don't ask...I know it sucks, but it fits well with the team members, A.K.A. my classmates)!" the multiple of people cheered again as the monitor showcased the picture of both teams.
"Hey...wait a minute guys, where's Jie?" Max piped tweaking his head in different directions, looking for any sight of the green-eyed team member.
"I know..." Kai darkly replied sitting up from his former position.
"Really," Rei responded, "Where?"
Kai faced the large monitor screen above, "They're viewing the game happening in the other dome...look at the upper-right side of the monitor, and you'll see a trench-coated person above the balcony...that's Jie."
The rest of the Bladebreakers followed the directions and indeed, found their team member above a balcony inspecting the beybattle seen below.
"C'mon guys...let's get him." Max exclaimed.
The team nodded and followed their blonde team member out of the stadium and into another arena where they saw the vendetta, taking place. They ran up several staircases and ran to their teammate, "You're late..." she said.
"What do you mean, we're late?" Tyson stated, in a questioningly matter.
Suddenly a flying beyblade flew in the center of Jie and Tyson crashing onto the gray wall behind them.
"And so team Black Dragon wins; they will be battling with the Jade Buddha Team tomorrow!"
Tyson, Max, Rei, Kenny and Kai looked below the rowdy audience and saw a team dressed in black walking out of the dome in a solitary manner.
Jie tightened her grip upon the silver bar and slid her arm on it excusing herself and leaving the balcony. The team twitched their heads to her direction and quirked an eyebrow.
They faced back at the so-called "Black Dragon Team" and soon followed Jie down the flights of stairs.
00000
Jie immediately ran down the cemented set of steps and took different routes to the entrance of the teams from the stadium. She bumped onto a few people but she really didn't care that much.
She touched the silver glove on her hand, and ran faster.
Soon only the cheering of the audiences and loud thumping of her boots could be heard. She rounded a corner and stopped facing the front of four teens.
Two rows composed of two team members: on the first row, at the right side was a male. He wore sunglasses hiding the color of his eyes; he had black hair streaked with gold and silver, and wore the same outfit as hers, except the blouse, pants and fingerless gloves were pitch black. Beside him was a female who had purple hair fixed into a bun by two chopsticks, with a few bangs framing her face. She also had a pair of sunglasses and wore a black halter-top and black leather flairs with platform shoes. On the second row were two boys. At the back of the purple-haired girl was another man. He wore a black patch above his left eye, only showing the right one, which glowed deathly red. He had green hair tied into a low ponytail and wore a sleeveless black top with leather pants and leather shoes. And the one behind the black-haired young man with sunglasses was a teen that appeared to be the same age as them. He had platinum silver hair and bluish-lavender eyes. He wore a black turtleneck shirt below a leather coat, and had put on a pair of leather pants. He seemed harmless from the rest, but the way he contorted his face to look calm and collected made him look, greatly dangerous.
All of them also had a tattoo of a black dragon engraved on different parts of their bodies. The one with black hair streaked with gold and silver, had his on his left cheek. The purple-haired girl had hers on her, right shoulder. The one with the eye-patch had his on the back of his right hand. And the one with silver hair had his tattoo on his neck, barely seen below his turtleneck collar.
As Jie only stared her green pools towards the group of people, she didn't notice the rest of her teammates running.
The Bladebreakers paused behind their oblivious team member. Tyson quietly approached Jie and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Hey Jie, you know these people?" he asked worriedly.
Shrugging coldly, the black-dressed team started to leave, taking a step at a time. But before the whole team was devoured into the darkness, Jie called out.
"Liang,"
The silver-haired teen turned around gazing his bluish-lavender eyes towards her. He tore through her barrier and sent a shiver down her spine.
As Jie let the name come out of her trembling lips, she diminished the thought of sadness. Her green eyes showed agony yet also tainted with sorrowful anger towards the young man named, Liang.
Collecting her thoughts and emotions she furrowed her brows, and sent a solemn and symbolic glare towards the boy.
He gave back the favor and also sent an identical gawp towards her. But before they lost each other, they quickly turned away – Liang following his team, and Jie averting her gaze down the ground.
"Jie, who were those guys?" Tyson asked trying to peep the emotion hidden beneath his teammates raven hair.
"Yeah, especially that silver-haired dude...what was his name?" Max piped, also looking down the dark corridor where the team exited.
"Liang, the man's name was Liang." Replied Rei, "Jie...exactly, who are those people?"
The jade-eyed beyblader only closed her eyes tightly, "The Black Dragon Team..." and with those words she immediately left.
00000
"So we stopped momentarily and we saw this team, all dressed in pitch black! And we were all, 'whoa, dude!' Who are you guys?" Tyson said all at once.
The White Tiger Tribe and the Bleadbreakers were in one private room in a five-star restaurant. They were incessantly talking about their beybattles this morning and the team the Bladebreakers 'bumped into' a few moments ago this noon.
"So what you are saying is, you met a team dressed in all black?" Lee inquired stroking his chin.
"Yeah," Rei replied, "not just that though, they all seemed to have identical tattoos engraved in different parts of their bodies."
"Really?" Mariah's eyes widened, "What'd it look like?"
"It was a dragon...a black dragon, formed into a circle, surrounding a Chinese character." Max responded to the pink-haired girl's question.
"Here guys take a look..." Kenny exclaimed showing the screen of his laptop to the two teams. "Dizzi and I were able to get a quick shot of it from the black-haired guy's cheek." He added.
"Dark..." Gary piped.
"Huh?" Kevin whispered softly turning his eyes towards their fairly enlarged group member.
"If I may say so correctly," Lee interrupted, "when Gary said 'dark' that's what that symbol means."
"So what you're saying is, that symbol," Tyson pointed to the tattoo on the computer screen, "means 'dark'?"
Gary and Lee nodded.
"But wait guys," Max suddenly chirped, calmly, "What about that guy Jie called out to? The one named, 'Liang'?"
"That's what we exactly don't know Max." answered Rei.
"We better take a good look at those guys and get a much information we can lay our hands on!" Tyson suggested.
"Here, that Dizzi? I guess we'll be up all night." Spoke the Chief to his mechanical companion.
"Then let's get crackin'!"

Jie's POV
They're back. They've returned...and I'm certainly sure they're here for me. To hunt me down. And to steal you.
But Master Jie...I have used much of my power to banish any other person who tries to use me.
'I know that Zumao...it's just, I'm still scared. You don't know what they could do to harm you.'
Don't worry I'll take care of myself.
I smiled. But wait a minute...what if they're not here to steal my bitbeast. What if they're here for something else?
Perhaps is being entitled the Asian Champions?
'No Zumao, the Black Dragon team isn't like that...they're here for something else than being called the Champions.'
You may be correct Master. Anyway, why did you call out for Liang a while ago?
'I don't exactly know...maybe because I wanted to see him again.'
The memories are still fresh within your mind, is it not?
'Possibly,'I closed the connection between my bitbeast and gathered my thoughts together. I softly touched the back of my left hand with the tips of my fingers. I shuddered a bit as memories of the reason why this mark was on my wrist, haunted me ceaselessly.
FLASHBACK"I won't continue if you don't want me to..." his soft, subtle voice echoed through my ears as he delicately took hold of my left wrist.
"I want you too...I want to feel the pain you yourself felt." I replied truthfully gliding my cold hands to his neck.
"You'll regret this sooner or later...are you extremely sure abou-"
I stopped his train of words as I pressed my lips to him.
We parted slowly and he looked into my green orbs, and I to his turquoise ones.
He readied the inked needle within his very fingers and touched the stained pin to my hand...
END OF FLASHBACKHe was right, though. I would regret this sooner or later. But I was persistent. Maybe my love for him before controlled me so much that I couldn't refuse to any order he said.
I was easily seduced by his charming personality.
However, I turned my back to him that day.
FLASHBACK"Jie where are you going?" he called out.
I stopped on my tracks and faltered hearing his voice again. I stood still below the cool, beckoning rain. It was refreshing, and relaxing.
"Jie...I said where are you-"
"I'm leaving..." I replied, still facing my back to him.
"But why?" he gasped again, his voice tinted with a verge of sadness.
"I'm sorry...but-"
"I thought we had something special Jie?!" he shouted.
I turned to him, smiling painfully, with my eyes filled with unshed tears, "That's what I thought too, Liang..."
And with those words I left him. Under the rain...in that forsaken hellhole.
END OF FLASHBACKUp to until now, I still wonder if he meant those words. If he felt the same way...or the one where he said we had something special.
But at some point I thought he only used me. Used me for his pleasure. Used me for their damn team. Used me for the great power of controlling Zumao.
But now...he's back, with unfinished business. Now, he comes in antagonism, and misery. And...and he's come for me.
To Be Continue...Here Come the ASIES- Asies isn't a real word, okay? I only used that term because it sounded cool...ASIES, are actually people who live in Asia (kinda obvious!). I also made that word!!! :Þ
Blue Savage: TAADAA! I thought this chapter was good, was it not? HEHEHE...anyway...more secrets are starting to unveil. Jie's past is so sad, right? But that's not even half of her background! KEEP READING TO FIND OUT MORE! READ & REVIEW!
