Remind me, why are we here?
Tyson looked at this new boy. He was very strong indeed, only Kai was able to pose a threat to him. Was this showing him, just how much he had been slacking over the past months.
"You can do better than that can't you?" Ken said after whooping Tyson for the one hundredth time. Tyson hadn't just began training with his usual half hearted attempts, but had flung all his heart into it this time. He had been training solidly with the boy for fifteen hours. Tyson fell down onto his knee's.
"Damn," Tyson said thoroughly exhausted.
"You can't beat me by giving up Tyson, it doesn't work that way," Ken said, "You look tired, hungry even, go and rest."
"You kidding, Tyson's always hungry," Ray said watching from the side lines. Ken smiled before turning around. Lately they had been stocking up on empty cans of drinks. Slowly he prepared a circuit and threw in a couple of blind spots just to test his skills.
Ken wasn't a weak beyblader by any means, he had been trained by some of the best beyblader's in the world, The Saintshield's, The Blitzkrieg Boy's, Even the Bega stadium had trained him, even though they didn't know it. Though he hadn't actually joined the bega bladers. Damn company was nothing more than a bunch of vermin trying to control the world with money. Though none of this compared to descending from the Kenosha family line.
The family had been very prestigious throughout Japanese history, though they took the back seat in almost every occasion, using other families as figure heads to cover their tracks. Of course the families thought they were acting in their own interests. Though the Miyamoto family did have some suspicions when they found out that an item in their possession belonged to the Kenosha family, it was that item that had been passed down through the Kenosha generations finally to Kai, the Dragon of Lightning. Kai wore it proudly on his arm as he became stronger through life.
Ken looked up again to where Tyson had been moments before, he was now in the kitchen eating.
"Haha," Ken chuckled to himself as he launched his beyblade. Ray and Max were still watching from the sidelines as Ken proceeded to knock up various cans. Ken concentrated clenching his left fist, "ungh." Ken's face flung to the right and he forced it straight again as he concentrated. Suddenly the first can hit the second can, deflecting the two cans from the blind spots. Then they all landed one on top of the other.
"Everyone," Kai called distracting Ken's concentration. Suddenly he heard a slicing sound behind him and cringed.
"Did you have to do that?" Ken said looking back at the cans which were all sliced in half. He had meant to balance the beyblade on top of them.
"We are leaving for the Docks in five minutes," Kai said looking at no one in particular. Then his face turned to see Ken's. Ken did naught but retrieve his beyblade and stand exactly where he was, he was already fully prepared anyway.
"Don't you need something?" Kai questioned. Ken looked back at Kai and shook his head.
Five minutes later, and they were on the bus to the docks. The bus was somewhat full and people were whispering about the new passengers as they made their way to the docks.
An hour later
They hadn't specified when they had wanted to meet at the docks, all they were given was a place.
"Everyone, I suspect this may be a trap be on guard," Kai said.
"Gee ya think?" Tyson said sarcastically and his hand was permanently secured to Dragoon's launcher. Ray chuckled at the comment and he too was ready, his launcher nice and easy to get to. Kenny was the only one who wasn't a blader who was coming with them.
"Hey Chief, what do you think?" Max asked.
"To be honest I don't know," Chief said, "There is plenty of cause for an ambush down here, and we all know why. They might be after the bit beasts. Except we're missing one," Chief gestured to Kai, "Dranzer is no longer with us."
"Right we're here," Ray announced as they entered the thirteenth pier. Everyone sat on a crate here or there while Kai looked around scanning for traps.
"So you finally show up," A female voice said as she landed neatly in front of everyone, wearing the same raincoat and hat as she was before. Then she looked at Ken, even though most of her face wasn't visible her eyes were.
"Why don't you give up the charade Hilary?" Kai asked shooting a look in the girls direction.
"So you betrayed us Ken," The girl said.
"I was ordered to bring back Dranzer nothing more," Ken replied, "Dranzer doesn't exist anymore." The girl's eyes widened.
"Is that so," Another girl said from the shadows. The girl was dressed more or less the same was as Hilary except that she had an S on her shoulder. The girl stepped out of the shadows but she wasn't alone. Two boys also stepped out of the shadows, both tall, although one broader than the other. A third shadow moved and another figure appeared obviously a girl.
"Then it shall…" One of the boys said
"Be easy…" The second boy continued.
"To take you all…" The third girl said
"Out," Hilary finished.
"Hah, like your going to be able to beat me, especially you Hilary," Tyson taunted.
"Silence you whelp," Hilary said her voice no longer the whiney girl Tyson had been once used to. Tyson shut up immediately.
"So it's the old go after the bit beasts ploy then?" Ray assumed.
"Correct," The first girl replied.
"Why?" Max asked.
"Ugh you make me tired, all these questions," The girl answered and suddenly launched her beyblade at Ray. Ray launched his beyblade in reply and they met in mid air clashing together, almost floating to the ground.
Tyson spun round to see Ray in the heat of battle. Tyson got up.
"I'll help you out," Tyson called as he began to run over. Suddenly a beyblade shot right in front of his face, bounced off a near by crate and back to the originator.
"Your battle's with me," Hilary said. Tyson frowned but accepted the challenge anyway launching his beyblade and soon found that the girl was more than a match for him.
"Why are you after the bit beasts anyway?" Tyson said attacking, "You always used to hate how people used to try and snatch them from us."
"Because it is a necessary evil I need to make," Hilary said as she launched into full attack mode. Dai Chi still as hyper as ever was standing by Tyson's side.
"Alright I wanna piece of this action," Dai Chi said and launched his beyblade. However, before it hit the floor another beyblade had clashed with his causing Daichi to turn his attention to the new comer.
"Strata Dragoon? Is that some kind of joke?" The girl smiled slightly. The boy suddenly attacked, "I see…" The girl hardly moved as she began to attack Dai Chi's beyblade.
"This is a one off battle isn't it?" Max said as he held his launcher up to the thinner boy. The boy just launched his beyblade.
"Think what you want to think," The boy said as Max launched his beyblade. Kai watched for a moment before launching his beyblade at the final person. The final boy just stepped to one side, avoiding the beyblade completely before launching his own.
Ken sat on the box and watched, the battle was not his to get involved in, yet. Suddenly Max was out of the battle, his beyblade sent flying into the wall, Daichi's was next followed neatly by Tyson. Zakai made his move on Kai. Kai thought he was ready and braced for impact.
"Heh," The boy said and attacked full force. Kai watched, he had made an error in judgement, this would be his first loss in a long while. The final blow didn't come. Ken had blocked it expertly, with a swift gesture of his hand, "You are intervening because?"
"Because I want to," Ken replied as he looked at Kai. Kai needed a little rest, it had been about an hour since Max had gone out, now there was Ray left battling the girl with the S on her shoulder.
"Drigger!" Ray summoned. The white tiger appeared and attacked.
"Lucia," The girl called. Suddenly a white dragon appeared. No ordinary Dragon like Dragoon, no, this was covered in feathers, but it still had the legs like a dragon and the front legs, its wings were similar yet feathered. Purple markings surrounding it's eyes on its large oval head there was also a large five pointed star on its chest. Zakai turned to watch as the bit beast drew a pentagram in the air.
"What is…" Ray gasped as suddenly the pentagram appeared around Drigger.
"Your mine," The girl said before smashing into his beyblade. Drigger was fixed in place and couldn't move. A second pentagram was drawn binding Drigger. Finally a spiral was drawn. Ray stared, unable to do anything.
"DRIGGER," Ray called as his bit beast was suddenly sucked into the Dragon. Ray finally noticed that his beyblade had stopped spinning and Ken spun his beyblade over to try and help but it was too late. The bit beast was sealed in side the beyblade.
"Damn," Ken muttered. Ray fell to his knee's reaching out into space his eyes glazed over.
"Pathetic," The girl said and disappeared. Everyone else including Hilary shrunk back into the shadows.
Everyone except Ken was stunned at what just happened, it was as if they had been training all those years for nothing, these strangers had just come and knocked them off like they were children trying to play an adults game.
"Remind me," Tyson said looking at Kai, "Why did we come here?"
