As they walked through the streets of their abandoned hometown(Browns Millswoot), they stumbled upon a numerous amount of dead bodies, and broken blades. They took the parts they could, feeling a little bit shameful about doing it. "Its the right thing," said Kim, who was taking a few minutes to repair Rapid Eagle with the parts they had found, "I really wanna kick that guy's ass!"
"Calm Down Kimberlee," said Reo with a sweetness in his voice that had never been heard, "We need to find Jack. He's dead, I'm sure of it, but with the powers of our bits, we should be able to at least bring him back. He wont be in the best of shape though."
"You speak so highly of this guy...like he's really that important. He must not have been that strong if he died!"
"..." Reo paused." He was the best Blader I knew. Never criticize him. You have no idea how strong he was..."
FLASHBACK
A boy sat on the pavement sobbing. His clothes were dirty and torn, yet he carried a shning Beyblade labeled with the words "Strata Dragoon H."
"Whats wrong?" said a tall boy wearing a green shirt, and orange pants. He looked hispanic, but in the shadows of the huge buildings of NY, the young boy, Reo, couldnt tell."You shouldnt be out here alone. Where's your parents?"
Reo started at him, noticing his beyblade launcher at his side. Reo reached in his pocket, and took out a shabby launcher. Standing up, he said "3...2...1..." Jack hastily caught his drift, and readied his beyblade. "Let It Rip!"
Their blades collided in midair, grinding at each other for what seemed like hours. Reo started to smile...his first since the death of his parents. "Strata Dragoon," he said calmly," finish this...Co-Ring Cutter."
"Not so fast," the boy replied," Draciel!" Reo's eyes widened when he heard that name.
"Father's friend..." Reo said, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Draciel Gravitation EXPLOSION!" Their blades collided once more, and in all of the noise of the explosion, Reo heard "Hey, I'm Jack..."
"Thats it! His trademark attack, how could I be so stupid..." Reo took out Dranzer, and launched him." Dranzer, find the marks of G.E. Attack!" With that, Dranzer flew off, blade following closely behind."Follow Dranzer," shouted Reo, and Kim ran with him, Rapid Eagle flying back into her hand.
"What are you-" Kim said, before tripping over a pile of bones left by one unfortunate Beyblader. Almost instinctivly, Reo skidded to a halt, and reversed his motion, just in time to catch her. "Never let my friends fall," said Reo with a smirk.
"I think...I think I like this boy..."thought Kim as she ran along next to him," He's just like the boy Tsuki told me about..."
"Lets stop for a few," Reo panted," i know you're tired...I've never seen a girl run at my pace...for 5 hours straight. You're a tough one..."Reo sat down next to her on a park bench, and put his hand on her knee, looking at her intently."
"Is that your way of saying 'I want to kiss you'?" Kim said, returning his gaze."Because if it is...Im game."
He moved closer to her, his hand sliding up her leg. he moved closer to her. She looked expectantly at him. They looked as though they hungered for each other. Reo went for the kiss, his lips millimeters from hers, when he heard "Defense Fortification!"
"Jack?1" Reo said in amazement," No way..." Reo ran towards the barrier covered building that was the BBA.
"Guess I'll neer get that kiss," both of them thought in unison.
