Alexis frowned. "You mean she left an hour ago? That's weird, it doesn't take longer than 20 minutes to get the other side of Bakuten. Are you sure?" She asked into the phone receiver, there was a loud string of frustrated cursing.

"I'm certain Lex! I marked it out myself!" Kalia snapped. Alexis sighed, what was taking Anayla so long to get from Kalia's to hers?

"Maybe she got into some trouble." She muttered. Kalia snorted,

"I hope not. We don't need Dragfire swooping over the city like an over grown bat." She growled. Alexis sighed, there was suddenly a sharp rap from the window. She paused; her window was on the third floor. There was only two people who could climb up there and not be completely scared shitless of the height –Renkae which was an impossibility because she was out of it and at Kalia's house, so that left a very soaking wet and shivering Aya scowling at her through the window panels.

"She's here!" Alexis said with a grin unlatching it allowing the black haired female to tumble in along with a loud squelch as her wet clothing splattered across the dry carpet. Aya straightened and closed the window. "What took you so long!? Kalia's practically seeing red!" Alexis exclaimed, Aya gave her a blank look.

"Gimme the phone, I found some rather interesting things out." She said, Alexis handed her the phone, perplexed as the black haired female dug in her pock and drew out a slightly damp note. She frowned trying to make out the smudged writing. "OK Kalia get a pen, I need to you write this down. I met up with Carlos and he had some interesting things in his pockets. Ok I got a note here you ready?" she asked wondering if Kalia was ready to take down what was being said.

"Yea! All's well. I got the paper you got the note, fire away."

"Ok, it looks like we're not the only teams entering; there are a few other Brakenbladers and even some Mainframers. There's us, BladeBreakers, The Demolition Boys... Hey weren't they Brakenbladers gone Mainframe?" she asked. Alexis paused behind her.

"Yea they were. Grandpa was saying something about Bryan's tactics of attacking both player and BitBeast. I don't remember though." She said Aya's lip curled

"Oh fan-bloody-tastic." She grumbled, just what they needed, Aya groaned placing a hand on her head. "Ok I can't make out the rest because it's smudged pretty badly but it reads along the lines of: keep something busy, the dark something must not be allowed to do something. That's the best I can make out. You got all that?" she asked scrunching the note.

"Yep. Hey, what happened to Carlos?" Kalia questioned. Aya's nose wrinkled

"He's unconscious in the alley way." She stated, "Anyway I'm staying after I tell Alexis what else we found. See ya." Aya hung up and placed the phone on the bed. Alexis was glaring at her,

"What other news? Is it something about grandpa!?" she asked suddenly desperate, Alexis was very close to her grandfather despite the fact they hardly saw each other most of the time. Aya's eyes rolled heaven wards as she shoved Alexis onto her bed

"No freaking out!" she ordered pointing a finger at her, Alexis folded her arms and glared. "We found out what Brooklyn's planning, he's going to use Mr D against us and the BladeBreakers. There's going to be a new tournament, the winners are crowned the kings or queens of Brakenblading, the hitch... the ones who lose the match hands over their BitBeasts." She explained in a dead pan watching Alexis's face change from interested to confused to furious through her explanation. The black haired female moved to leap up but met Aya's hand halfway and was forced back down onto the bed.

"I'm gunna kill that bastard!" she hissed furiously her green eyes flashing dangerously in the light. Aya rolled her eyes.

"Calm down squirt." This time Alexis didn't even give her a glare for the nick name. "We'll beat him at his own game," she looked up "Listen Lex, if we storm in without a plan or without thinking we'll just lose our BitBeasts faster and then we'll never get your Grandfather back." She reasoned. Aya stood back up her eyes dispassionate "Get some sleep, we meet in the warehouse tomorrow for the hardest training we've ever had." She stated in a deadpan voice "We play to win." She added. Alexis nodded sniffing, Aya was right if she didn't think she wouldn't win.

---

Alexis yawned as she descended into the kitchen, delicious aromas of pancakes had been floating through the mansion for about 15 minutes now. She plunked herself down on a seat as Aya continued to fry the sweet goodness, watching her hands with avid interest was her younger brother Riley.

Alexis smiled looking at the face of her friend, Aya's eyebrows twitch as a small smile tilted on her lips, the black haired female was looking a little worse for wear from her excursion. Alexis noticed how she carefully altered her body language, the girl was poised on one hip as she flipped the pancakes, her arms were held loosely. Alexis could tell though, she had been dealing with BeyBladers her whole life, very stubborn ones at that. Every attack creates a drain on the Blader, but Brakenblading is more difficult, the power of the BitBeast it taken directly from the player.

That was why, to put it bluntly, Aya was looking like crap. Alexis smiled as the black haired girl slid a plate of pancakes down the counter to her and placed another one in front of Riley. Alexis poured as much syrup as she could stomach on her pancakes and began to munch. Aya was a good cook, she had to be, the girl had two jobs. Caterer at a local restaurant and as a hair dresser at the 'Attic' where a lot of very important people went to get their hair styled.

Alexis sometimes helped out at Riley's day care when she had some free time, Renkae was working as a bouncer for a Night club, she'd taken a few weeks off because of her injuries. Kalia, well no one had any idea what the blonde haired female did for work but she did rake in some cash, they all put their money together for the Delinquent Rogues. That whole all for one and one for all thing really held some meaning over the girls.

---

Kalia groaned as Aya announced their training schedule for the day, this week just kept getting better and fucking better. She couldn't believe how much she was piling on them, only Renkae had a brief respite because she was injured, even then it wasn't much. The rest of their team didn't pay much attention as the older girls spoke, they respected them. In truth Alexis, Kalia, Aya and Renkae were one of the many strongest bladers for many miles in the underground. The Delinquent Rogues knew it, but they were intelligent and didn't flaunt it.

"Ren' stop complaining." Aya snapped her dark green eyes scowling "I gave you the least work to do! Be thankful you're only doing the BeyBlade training!" she sneered; Renkae huffed from where she was sat upon a large crate.

"And who am I suppose to battle against?" she demanded "No offence but if I was to go full out on anyone else in this warehouse there wouldn't be much left. I'm not going to hurt anyone of these kids." She snarled glaring at Aya with chocolate brown eyes. The girl rubbed her temples feeling a head ache slowly throbbing in her brain,

"Renkae, please for once in your life, listen to me. You won't be fighting anyone from our team, I pulled a few favors from Kestrel, you'll be facing off against Yu Inegwa." Aya explained as the tall brunette stepped into the slightly orange tinted light.

Yu and Aya worked together in 'Attic'. Yu was a formidable Brakenblader from team Kestrel, known for their Bird BitBeasts, their team specialized in wind based attacks. Yu was tall, dark and her deep blue eyes blinked out proudly from a sharp face; she was attractive with a small red line running across her eyelids. Her jaw length brunette hair had a stormy speckled color feather braided into the right side, she was wearing a pair of bum hugger jeans and a loose gray T-shirt with a large gray fleece tied around her waist.

Alexis smiled at the sight of the tall female, generally the Delinquent Rogues got on well with Kestrel and its members. Renkae sighed "Alright, fine I'll do the stupid training!" she finally stated with a scowl.

Yu smirked "Don't think I'm gunna go easy on you because your injured though." She said wagging a finger. Aya and Kalia exchanged amused looks before gripping Alexis under the arms and pulling her over to the training yard. The warehouses kind of circled a large court yard that the Delinquent Rogues had turned into a training yard with various objected made from junk lying around. A few of the younger members were laughing and running around playing chase in this sunny safe haven.

"Lucky bastards…" mumbled Renkae as she glanced at the free-spirited youngsters and her so-called "friends". She sighed to herself as she faced Yu, who was waiting patiently. "So, are you ready for the beating of a lifetime?" asked Renkae cheekily. Yu smirked in a knowing way, and readied her beyblade and launcher as did Renkae. The two girls settled themselves on either side of the dish, concentrating all their strength into their blades. Casey then jumped up from behind one of the crates and tapped Renkae's side shyly.

"Do you need anyone to do the count-down?" she asked in a perky voice.

Renkae grinned at the little girl. "Just what I was thinking. Thanks, kid." The little girl grinned up at Renkae and walked over to the side of the dish that was un-occupied. She threw her arms over her head in a dramatic sort of way and looked up. The tension between the two beybladers increased as they waited for their cue. This battle was about to get dangerous.

"Three…Two…One…Let 'er rip!!" she cried out as she flung her arms downwards. Simultaneously, the two beybladers ripped out the ripcords and their beyblades spun radically into the dish, already creating dents as they clashed into the sides. Sparks flew as the beyblades attacked each other and the air around them picked up into a miniature storm.

"Riakure! Pick up the pace and use your agility!" Renkae commanded. As if on cue, the black and red beyblade started spinning even faster and kept head butting into the other gray and blue beyblade. With each blow, Yu's beyblade kept backing up into the rims of the dish, but the beyblader kept a calm face.

"Freefall, use your storm and blow her away!" she cried out. The bit flashed and a black beam of light shot out from it. An ear-piercing bird cry thundered inside the abandoned warehouse as the large peregrine falcon emerged from the beyblade. It was dark and pitch black with gray tipped feathers, the same dark eyes opening as it re-awakened. It stretched its wings high and the feathers gleamed in the very small amount of light as it fully came out from the beyblade. As it did, Freefall began flapping his wings and picking up the winds, gathering speed as it did so. A large tunnel of wind began to form and various objects from the warehouse were picked up from the winds. Renkae's navy hair flapped around her wildly as she stared at the gigantic bird. The storm inside the dish became even more vicious as the wind began denting the dish, and Riakure's beyblade was picked up from the storm as well. Freefall then flapped his wings with even more speed as the wind became more dangerous with each flap, sending the air around with each powerful stroke towards the beyblade and its owner.

Renkae flinched as the air cut at her skin and her clothes. She ground her teeth together, not allowing herself to cry out in pain. She growled as she realized that she might've had to make this battle a bit more interesting. "Riakure, use your Static Rush!" In mid-air, the black and red beyblade's bit began glow and a pillar of red light began to form as well. The howl of a battle-cry shook the walls with it's loud boom as the animal emerged from its bit. The red furred wolf stretched it's neck around itself as her Celtic-styled navy blue armor shone. Riakure snapped her eyes open as she faced Heaven wards and her armor glowed white. Miniature sparkles formed itself on top of Riakure, gathering themselves from the lamps on the ceiling. The large ball of electrons became larger and little flicks of electricity sparked from it. Suddenly, Riakure flicked her head towards Freefall and the large ball of electricity rammed into the falcon with lightning speed. Freefall cried out as the electrons surrounded the falcon and striked it with static shocks. Feeling Freefall's pain, Yu squinted her eyes closed and held herself as she was being electrocuted just as Freefall. The two fell to the ground as Freefall shattered into her beyblade, and the lights turned off.

Renkae wiped the sweat off her brow as she panted. She dropped to the ground as she felt a large amount of her energy leaving her. She heaved a huge sigh, thanking that the battle was over. Renkae flicked her hand towards herself as if pulling her beyblade. It spun to life and shot it itself in the palm of her hand as she clutched it. She looked up to see Yu, getting up herself, holding up some parts of her clothing where it was torn as she walked over to her beyblade to retrieve it. They were both exhausted, Renkae gathered. She strained herself to get up and walked over to Yu.

"That was a pretty good battle," she stated with a grin.

"Yeah, I guess I wasn't expecting that much from you," added Yu.

"Well you know us Delinquents, we're full of surprises," said Renkae with a cocky grin. "Come on, let's go see how the kiddies are doing outside with Aya."

---

"Aya! Are you positive that this much is needed??" asked Alexis as she shifted her position on the bar. Both her and Kalia were now doing chin-ups as Aya watched them closely.

"Of course I am! Depending on how quickly you rip out your rip-cords and with how much strength, it can increase the power and the spin of your beyblade. Now stop complaining and get on with your training!" she declared as she was watching them from below.

"Easy for her to say, she's not doing the training," pointed out Kalia in between grunts. Alexis just whimpered slightly as she did her training. The metal bar was situated in the middle of the field, along with other equipments Anayla had made them train with. So far, Alexis and Kalia had done, 100 sit-ups, lift 200 pound weights, and ran around the warehouse 20 times. All with Aya watching them and inspecting how well they did.

"Okay, enough. You guys did 80 chin-ups each. Take a break," she stated. Alexis and Kalia flopped to the ground as they were panting heavily.

"Water… I need water…" whimpered Alexis as she crawled towards her water bottle. It was a grueling struggle as it took her around five minutes to get to the water bottle that was a foot away from her.

"Hey guys, how's the deluxe training with Aya going?" asked Renkae as she came into view with Yu.

"Savior! Savior!" cried out Kalia as she ran to Renkae on her knees and drapped her arms around her legs. "Please, save us!"

Aya rolled her eyes at the sight. "You do simple training and already you're complaining."

Kalia whipped her head to Aya. "Simple? Simple?? I'd like to show you simple!"

"Alright alright. Guys, let's all take a break and get something to eat. I'm starving," said Alexis as she laid down on the grass. Renkae smirked. Typical Alexis to say something to break a fight.

"Yeah, okay. I'm pretty hungry too," said Kalia as she stole the water bottle from Alexis' lips.

"Hey!"

"Sorry I can't join you guys, I have to go back to my team to train with them. Aya, I'll see you later," said Yu as she ran off.

"Oh yeah, Renkae, how'd your match go?" asked Alexis as she got up.

"Pfft, the usual. I won, naturally," said Renkae grinning.

"Nice!" said Kalia as she gave Renkae a high-five.

"Duh? What'd you expect? I'm not the best of the best for no damn reason you know." The blue-haired girl placed her hands on her hips in a heroic fashion, looking to the sky. This made Aya roll her emerald eyes in annoyance.

"Yeah sure, whatever floats your boat. Lets go now before I have all of you doing push-ups." The girls quickly scrambled to their feet, not wanting to face Aya's wrath any more than necessary.

"Sooo…what exactly are we eating?" Renkae asked casually, only limping slightly. She placed her hands behind her head in a lazy fashion before turning to look at her companions.

Kalia was the first to respond. "Ahh…I dunno. Anyone up for pizza?" After hearing Aya's grunt of approval and Alexis' chirpy reply, she flipped out her cell phone before dialing the number of the familiar pizza shop.

"Oh hey George! How are ya? Anyway, give us the regular; one large pizza with the works. Oh, and could you reserve our table for us? Yep, all of us are coming again. 'Neway, thank Georgie, see ya there!"

Alexis gave a satisfied sigh. "George makes the best pizza ever! Really, one day I'll hire him as my personal pizza maker and you guys will all be at my mercy!" she said, giggling madly.

"Ha. Very funny 'Lexi. You know you'd share him with me, 'cause ya luuurv me." Renkae chirped, hugging Alexis partly to have something to take of the weight on her injured leg. "And Kalia, what you ordered sounded great, but aren't you gunna eat anything?" She patted her stomach with a grin. "I'll tell you now, I'm gunna finish the whole pie before ya'll even have the chance to get a slice.

Aya smirked. "Fine, then you're paying today Ren'. Nope, that face won't help you today. This is your fault, you know, what goes around comes around." A loud groan was heard from the said bluenette, making Kalia laugh.

"Ahh, karma's a bitch huh?" The blond said, patting Renkae on the head gingerly. "Well, at least you get to be greedy and eat as much as you like, since your paying."

As they turned the corner, the four friends became consciously aware of the large masses or people crowded around their quaint little restaurant. Pushing through the crowd, they fought one by one to enter the palace of pizza. Renkae, as usual, was the loudest.

"AYE! Watch out! HEY!! Bastard, that was my leg you're stepping on! OI! Do that again and die!" She muttered a few more oaths before getting through the front doors, all the while glaring at the large mob-like crowd through the glass doors. "Fucking hell, I know George is a great pizza-maker, but this shouldn't happen." She grumbled.

Aya walked forward, a heavy glare on her face from the ignorant crowd before she stopped, making Alexis bump into her, Kalia into Alexis and Renkae into Kalia. "Oh yes this should. Look who decided to grace us with their presence."

Standing in front of them was a quarry of famous Beyblading teams. Tyson was the closest, talking to a reporter while his team was sitting nearby, refusing to comment. In the farthest corner sat what could only be the Demolition Boys, as their Russian heritage was evident. In the middle, nearly every table was occupied by a Beyblading team.

"Oooook…who scheduled a Beyblading Convention here and forgot to tell me?" Kalia barked, only half-joking.

"Uhm… I'm not sure…lets go to our seat ehh?" Alexis suggested. She pulled Aya; who seemed to be dead-set at sending a venomous glare to everyone in the building, to one of the only empty booths and sat gingerly.

Unfortunately, Renkae was the only one who did not agree with this suggestion. She marched right up to the Blade Breakers and pointed an accusing finger at them. "WHAT the fuck are you all doing here? Did we not tell you to get out of our business? What, are you stalking us now?" she asked with a penetrating glare. Kalia groaned as she sat down and ran her hand down her face.

As soon as the words left Renkae's mouth, she wished she hadn't exploded such. The reporters were now fawning over her, all talking at the same time as they tried to get news out of the bluenette.

"Is it true that Ray Kon is madly in love with you and has begun stalking you?" One particularly blond reporter asked her. Renkae flushed, partly in anger and partly in embarrassment before she snapped.

"Get OUT!" she cried as she pushed them all out the door. The reporters were all struggling, but Renkae soon found help with Alexis, and they both hurled the reporters out the door. "Thanks," she said, before returning to face George. "Sorry Georgie."

"We just had to take out the trash,"said Alexis grinning.

"Nasty buggers..." Renkae huffed. George nodded in understanding. He had known the girls since they were little and knew they hated crowded places. Alexis gave George the peace sign before returning to her seat.

"Good Lord, now we'll have reporters banging down our doors..." said Kalia. "Thanks a lot, guys. We'll now be known as the team that beats the crap out of the media." Alexis grinned sheepishly at Kalia while Renkae huffed indignantly.

Aya rolled her eyes as she caught sight of all the teams yet again. "Actually, Renkae's questions were left un-answered. What the fuck are all of you doing here?" she asked, particularly directing her question to the Blade breakers.

Tyson, who seemed to be the spokesperson of the team, shuffled uncomfortably under Aya's glare for a moment before looking up at her in determination. "We came here to meet with the other championship teams. It has nothing to do with you."

Kai snorted. "In case you didn't catch the drift," he said coldly, his icy brown eyes meeting Aya's emerald orbs, "That means we aren't stalking you. We're just preparing ourselves to beat your sorry Beyblading asses at the tournament."

"Wait, WHAT?" cried out Alexis. The rest of her team jumped in surprise as Alexis marched right up to Kai. Renkae and Kalia exchanged worried and confused glances, it was one of the first times they had ever seen her get so angry. Alexis looked down at Kai with determination in her eyes. "You guys know about the tournament too?"

"Well, yeah. Mr. Dickinson is our manager after all. Plus we got the other Beyblading teams to help us out too, to save your grandfather," said Ray smiling.

Alexis narrowed her eyes. "No."

"No? What do you mean "no"?" asked Tyson clueless.

"I am not letting a bunch of mainframe bladers who know nothing of Brakenblading try to save my grandfather. It's out of the question. Not only would you guys get seriously injured, but apart from that, one little glitch would make my grandfather stay a hostage forever. I'm not taking that chance," she said as she sat down in one of the nearby chairs.

"That's right. The Delinquent Rogues are independent. We don't need outside help from others," stated Aya as she placed her a comforting hand on Alexis' shoulder.

"Well sorry to burst your bubble, but we aren't doing this all for you, conceited," stated a certain red-head as he stood up. He had flaming red hair and it all sat atop his head like a flame, which Renkae found quite amusing as she snickered. "Mr. Dickinson is part of the BBA, and is in charge of most of all the beyblade tournaments. If he goes, then so does beyblade, so whether you like it or not, we're saving Mr. Dickinson."

"And in any case, we're not just going to sit around letting some girls try to save him. He's our manager and he means a lot to us too. The Bladebreakers aren't just some flashy-named team," At this Aya snorted. "But we stand for what is close to us and we're getting Mr. Dickinson back," said Tyson pumping a fist in the air.

Renkae raised one eyebrow in a mixture of annoyance and amusement. "First off, us 'girls' could wipe the floor with you in any match. Secondly, how many of you wanna-blader-be's actually know the first thing about Brakenblading, and last but not least, give me one reason not to just chuck you out of this store like the reporters," she deadpanned, placing her hands on her hips as she smirked deviously at the other teams.

Kalia nodded adding. "You guys would be the death of Mr. Dickinson. Literally. One foul-up, like Alexis said, and he could be gone. This isn't a game like one of your little play tournaments. This is someone's life on the line. And who knows what else Brooklyn is capable of, if he can capture one of the world's biggest producers in his very office. You're in way over your heads in this one."

"You could be the death of Mr. Dickinson too." Tala pointed out coolly. "Me and my team are Brakenblade experts. We could easily defeat everyone in this room," that gained quite a few growls from separate people, "and you just may need us to get that precious Dickinson back." He smirked, mimicking Renkae's deviousness. "Besides, we were invited to enter the tournament, fools. I imagine it would be better for you to be with us, not against us."

"Say the word 'fool' one more time so I could hear you better...." growled Renkae as her eyes narrowed dangerously. Her hands at her sides began balling into fists as she gazed at the beybladers.

"If you're such Brakenblade experts, tell me, Tala, why did you lose to a bunch of simple-minded mainframe bladers huh?" retorted Aya coolly.

"Oooh, that's gotta sting," said Renkae, giving Aya a high-five. Tala and his team, on the other hand, weren't that happy with Aya's statement.

Both teams began to glare menacingly at each other, mumbling profanities under their breath. George then stepped up to the counter with a large pizza box in hand. "Um, pizza for number 264?"

Renkae perked up, looking at the counter with a small grin forming while Alexis lept up. "That's us!" they both cried happily as they rushed to the counter to retrieve their food.

"Good Lord…" sighed Kalia. "We're in the middle of an important conversation and all you two can think of is eating."

"Hey! In our defence," started Alexis as she took a bite from the pizza, "this is really good pizza."

"Plus, there is never a time where pizza is less important," said Renkae between munches as she held up two pizzas.

Kalia groaned. "And all this started because of you two…" she mumbled. "Might as well join them before they eat the whole box," she said to Aya. She nodded as the two squished into the booth with the other two girls.

"So that's it? Discussion over? Just like that?" asked Tyson.

"Hey hey hey! Not so many questions. Eating here," stated Renkae. "Well continue afterwards, for now, it's pizza time!"

A/N: Mikaze here. Well, we were going to continue the chapter, but Reyan is going on leave for a bit so there wouldn't be any continuing time since it was her turn to continue the chapter ;; And anyways, this is as good a place to stop as any.

Oh yes, and Reyan copyrights the word "wanna-blader-be" XD!
