Disclaimer: Beyblade is mine, all mine! coughs Actually, it isn't, but I'm sure you knew that...

Author's Note: When I checked my mail this morning, I was surprised and gratified to learnt that people wanted a sequel to 'Simulacum'. Always eager to please, I got straight to typing and this is the result. Enjoy!

Everything should be seen as a balance between positive and negative.

Positive: this new Tyson was stronger, faster and more efficient than his teammates could have ever hoped for. His dedication to beyblading was single-minded and pure, leading him to rise ever higher in the ranks of blading competition.

He crushed anyone who came before him and his name was fast becoming a word which made young bladers tremble with fear and admiration.

Negative: he never spoke anymore; never interacting with anyone beyond his confrontations in the beystadium…

…which made sense.

After all, he wanted to be just like Kai.
