Disclaimer- I do not own beyblade, that belongs to Takao Aoki. My OC's belong to me, mwahahahahahahaha.
---Chapter 1, The Beginning---
John closed his eyes and listened to the thunder outside as he picked up the cold black beyblade. "Black Dranzer…." He muttered as it sucked the warmth from his hand, leeched from his energy. He opened his eyes again, looking around the shadowy corners of the abandoned warehouse he had chosen to train in, casting an eye over the wreckage and devastation Black Dranzer has caused.
The sound of breaking glass broke the silence as another beyblade came flying into the room through an old (and now broken) window. "Destroy him Dark Leopard!" a confident voice said from its home somewhere near the window. John frowned, clipping Black Dranzer to his launcher and firing it at the new blade. The two black beyblades clashed in midair letting out a blast of light and a shockwave, shaking the very foundations of the building. "Not bad…" John said quietly as his unknown adversary jumped down to the floor a few metres away "…not bad at all…". Black Dranzer and Dark Leopard clashed again and again, grinding away at each other's defences, neither really gaining the upper hand. "I'm just getting started!" the other boy said, the bit of his beyblade glowing as it knocked Black Dranzer back. "Hmpf" John said simply, crossing his arms as the other boy's bit beast emerged from his blade casting an eerie glow around the room. "Attack!" the other boy roared, sending his blade on the offensive and knocking Black Dranzer around the floor mercilessly. John growled as he was knocked back by the force of a particularly strong attack, a scowl forming on his face, how much more of this did he have to sit back and take? Black Dranzer went flying through a crate, wobbling slightly as the dust cleared again and the other boy continued his assault. "What? Your not even going to fight back!" The boy said staring at him through the gloom, "In that case I might as well finish you off now." The Boy finished, the confidence showing in his voice "BLACK SLASH!". Dark Leopard glowed a dark purplish colour, becoming little more than a sphere of dark light as is smashed into the weakened Black Dranzer. The collision sent a huge cloud of dust billowing out from the point of impact. John was thrown backwards to the floor by the strength of the attack, rips forming on his long black scarf and blood running from a cut on his face as he pulled himself to his feet. "Y-your still standing?" The boy said, his confidence suddenly sounding shaken. The dust cleared and Black Dranzer appeared, still spinning. "You bet I'm still standing…" John said, glaring at the other boy, he had played well, but now it had to end. "Black Dranzer! Dark Flame!" John commanded, his blade spinning back up to full speed as his bit beast emerged from its centre. "I wont go down that easy!" The boy yelled "Dark Leopard, again! Black Slash!". The two beyblades raced towards each other, both engulfed in crackling dark energy and hit with a mighty explosion that tore the roof off the building. John looked across the battlefield at his fallen opponent, and then down as both beyblades stopped spinning "Black Dranzer… we drew……" John said as he too fell to the ground, unconscious.
