"Blade Breakers
Blade Reapers
White Tigers
All Starz
Demolition Boys
Psychics
Majestics
Saint Shields!
Yes! These are the eight lucky teams that will be competing in this years Jap-er- Russian tournament!" Yelled Brad Best as he showed himself dressed in common Russian attire.
"All are expert bey bladers from around the world! Who will win this years tournament? Will the Blade Breakers stay top dog, or will the new team the mysterious Blade Reapers 'reap' the title? Haha!" Brad finished as he laughed at his own joke. That tournament would be noticeably smaller considering only eight teams were participating, but it would be all the more exciting seeing all of the experienced bladers go at it.
"Now! Let's all cheer for the home team, the Demolition Boys!" He screamed out to the crowd who greeted the Demolition boys happily. Though the team themselves seemed unimpressed, and simply stayed in their seats looking a bit bored.
"The bey battles will soon be started! But first we have to choose our line up!"
Brad then turned to the eight teams before him, all of which looked tired and not at all interested.
Max gave a small smile while Rei watched his own team, he didn't think that they would be participating. Takao watched Tala, he didn't think that he had been in good enough shape to be participating in another tournament so soon. Kai had his eyes focused on the ground, the night before had been a bit rough, he didn't want to blade first for once, but if he had to Dranzer was already back in her blade, the others seemed to be a bit suspicious, but didn't say anything. And Daichi simply looked miserably sick, earlier that day a woman had accused him of bringing the plague…
Kyouju, Hiromi, and Wyatt all watched from the audience cheering.
"Alright!" Brad yelled, breaking through everyone's thoughts. "Now, when you first arrived you were given a number, the pairs will be, for example, One and two. Now let's get going!" He yelled excitedly. "Now, who has number one!" Brad asked looking around at the teams, finally he noticed Oliver of the Majestics raise his hand, giving a small smiule to accompany it.
"Alright! One is the Majestics!" He yelled pointing to the large monitor over the stadium where the Majestics name appeared with the number one beside it.
"Who's two!" Brad asked as the crowd cheered.
Kiki of the White Tigers along with Lee got up from their seats.
"Alright! The first match will be the Majestics versus the White Tigers!" The monitor lit up. "Next I need teams three and four!" He yelled.
The first to stand was the Blade Reapers leader, still cloaked in mystery. Second stood Kane from the Psychics, who then turned and smiled at Takao.
"Alright! Second match is the Blade Reapers versus the Psychics!" The monitor again lit up, adding the other two teams to it. "I need team five and team six!"
"Five!" Yelled out Joseph from his seat with the Saint Shields, Ozuma simply nodded.
Tala stood up from his seat with the demolition boys, and then sat back down. Brad pointed again to the board as it lit up with the third match.
"And last but not least" He exclaimed. "The Blade Breakers versus the All Stars!" Brad yelled.
"We'll have two matches today, two tomorrow, semi finals on Thursday, and the finals on Friday! Right after this short break, the Majestics versus the White Tigers!" He yelled as the crowd started to excuse itself for snacks and bathroom beaks.
The teams reassembled themselves offstage. Rei left the group shortly after to talk to the White Tigers, their match would be first.
The rest of the Blade Breakers talked to each other, with Hiromi, Wyatt, and Kyouju too of course.
"We don't go today then?" Max asked politely looking at the rest of his team.
"Nope Maxie! They're saving the best for last!" Takao yelled as he draped an arm around Max's shoulders.
"Hey Kai, where'd D go?" Hiromi asked as she looked around, not noticing the other girl anywhere.
"She doesn't like watching." Kai replied in a cold matter-of-fact way, much to Hiromi's surprise. But she couldn't help feel that D looked like someone else she knew, even though it sounded silly. And when she talked to Kyouju about her he got all nervous, he either liked her or knew something that he wasn't telling, but she decided to drop it for the moment.
"What do you mean? She liked watching us all well enough." Takao pointed out, getting suspicious of the girl that they had dubbed 'Kai's girlfriend.' What kind of name was 'D' anyway?
Kai was getting irritated, the secret was bothering him anyways. Though, he didn't want them to worry. The reason he had hidden it at first anyway was because he didn't fully understand it himself. But he did now for the most part, and he got the sinking feeling that Wyatt already suspected something…
"If you must know I'll tell you later." Kai spoke sharply as he excused himself from watching in order to go off on his own. His team simply watched. Wyatt wasn't sure if he should follow Kai or stay with the team, he didn't feel that they had completely accepted him. And Daichi seemed to be angry with him for 'trying to take his place.' But he let Kai go, at least Hiromi was nice enough to him.
The match between the Majestics and the White Tiger's began.
Kai headed towards the woods. It was easy enough to find, and he needed some time to himself to think. Once he was deep enough in, he sat down on a rock in a clearing. Kai dug into his pocket to fish out his bey blade, he sat twirling it between his fingers in the sun.
"Something its wrong…" He spoke off handedly frowning a bit towards the little metal blade.
"Kai?" Dranzer asked as she shimmered and came out. Only this time a girl didn't stand in front of him, but a phoenix. Though it didn't really bother him.
Kai let his eyes fall to the ground in a frown, he was confused. He didn't feel like himself, and he had the sinking feeling that their was something going on with the Blade Reapers, he just didn't know what. He hated not knowing.
"The Blade Reapers, the way they were looking at us, they're up to something." He growled irritated, he didn't even sound like himself; his voice was rougher, harder. What was happening to him? Was it just the fact that he was in Russia? Or was it something else?
"I know what you mean." The phoenix spoke as she shimmered again and took her human shape, sitting down beside him.
"Something isn't right. I can feel it." Dranzer said angrily. Kai nodded and thought to himself, still frowning towards the ground.
"Perhaps we should return? You aren't blading today anyways.." Dranzer said as she got up and extended her hand to him. Kai got up abruptly and pushed her hand away. Dranzer smirked, he may have changed a little in his demeanor, but he was still the same Kai that she had always known. The strong one, the one who never excepted help from anyone. She followed him back through the forest.
Upon returning, Kai found out that the Majestics had lost to the White Tigers, Rei was currently celebrating with them. He had been away from them for so long he wanted to talk to them, his family. But Kai had other idea's, he would pull Rei away after a bit. No need to get chummy with the enemy. The White Tigers had won four-one, and the Majestics didn't look overly happy to be the first ones out.
The next match had already started, the Blade Reapers and the Psychics. Several of the teams also had to adopt a fifth member... Takao stood on the sidelines cheering for Kane. It seemed to be the last match and the Psychics were losing terribally . Kane's victory wouldn't make a difference they couldn't advance even with it. The skill that the leader showed proved that they would be difficult to beat.
Though Kai couldn't help but feel that the leader of the Blade Reapers was playing with Kane, though, he had taken off the cloak, they all seemed to have taken off their cloaks.
The leaders name seemed to be Hikaru. He was a younger looking boy, anywhere from thirteen to fifteen. He had dark blue-ish colored hair that spiked out, light complexion, and a medium sized build. But his eyes were a cold steel green color. They had a something in them that felt simply wrong. Kai noted as he studied the boy. Nothing looked particularly amiss, the blade he was using was called 'Teradeon' a bird like dinosaur looking bit beast. Nothing particularly extravagant or great. But still, he could feel something…
Other than their leader, the other four were behind him. Their was a girl about Miriam's size with long green-ish spiky hair. A short boy, who looked a lot like a little kid, with large grey-green eyes and a mop of shaggy blonde hair that looked like it needed a good cut, or at least a good washing. A larger boy with even larger mussels with a slightly darker-tanned complexion and blonde hair. The final was a boy about the leaders size, if not a bit smaller. He had dark skin and black-midnight hair that just barely brushed his shoulders, and he was smirking. Something about the final boy got to Kai. He wasn't right. More-so than the leader Hikaru, the fifth boy wasn't right.
Soon the match was over with the victor being the Blade Reapers. Kane fell to his knee's in shock and Takao ran to comfort him, but was stopped by Kai.
"Kai?" Takao screamed as he ran into his team leaders arm.
"His team can handle it." Kai said as he turned around, heading back to the hotel. "Come on." He said as he stopped in a harsh voice, turning to glare. "There is something I need to tell you." He finished as he turned and walked back to the hotel, not seeming to care if his team followed or not. Dranzer felt something that didn't feel quite right, but followed after her master anyways.
The Blade breakers looked at each other in confusion, but followed anyway.
Once back at the hotel Kai turned to look at his team, then sighed and seemed to go back to himself.
"What is it Kai?" Takao asked, still a bit irritated about the earlier incident.
"Yeah…" Daichi put in as he started to cough uncontrollably. Wyatt simply looked at Kai with confusion.
"Just listen guys!" Kyouju added with a knowing smile, looking strait at Dranzer.
"Alright…" Kai breathed as he took Dranzer's arm.
"I've told you that this-" He said as he motioned to Dranzer. "is D, but I didn't tell you the whole truth, because at the time I didn't understand it myself." He startedd, looking at the faces of his team, which seemed to be accepting enough.
Little did he knoow that they all believed, besides Kyouju and Wyatt, that he was going to tell them that she was infact his girlfriend.
"Guys, this is Dranzer, Kyouju will fill you in." He finished before pulling Dranzer to the elevator to go up to his room. He still didn't feel completely like himself, though being honest with his team had helped.
Kai left his team very confused. Each member turned after the elevator door shut and took off to look at Kyouju expectantly.
Kyouju laughed a bit as he pulled out Dizzi to help him in his explanation. It was going to be a long night.
Muhahahahahahahahaha! My driver's ed starts in June! I scared my Tae-Kwon-Do instructor with that… Wow…. Oh well!
This is a nice long chapter and hopefully it wasn't boring, I read through again and I don't think it's to awfully boring. I chose these eight teams because I thought they were the best, and yes, Wyatt will get his time to shine.
Hey you know what? I've noticed that the original names SohRyu, Suzaku, Byakko, and Genbu are used a lot in anime. So far I can only think of three. This one, Yami no Matsuei, and Yu Yu Hakusho, but I'm sure there's more! If you know of any more please tell me, I'd like to see how many there are. Also, does anyone know the original myth behind SohRyu, Suzaku, Byakko, and Genbu? Cause I'd like to hear it if you know it. Also, in Yami no Matsuei, Suzaku, who translates to Dranzer, is a girl, and in Yu Yu Hakusho Suzaku looks like a girl, even though technically in Yu Yu Hakusho he wasn't supposed to be. Anyways, thank you!
What do people think of bey blade couples? Like not specifically for this fic, but I'd like to hear what you think! Thanks!
Please read and review! Thank you!
