Beyblade- A Tale of Two Phoenixes: Chapter 2
"Kaalyian, just like we practiced, Attack Pattern Zeta!" The black and crimson blade shot through the obstacle course Saiyna had set up with a row of cans. Kaalyian swerved and weaved through the cans, hitting each one so fast at such a precise angle that in a matter of seconds, all 15 cans were neatly stacked in a pyramid. Easy. Saiyna picked up her blade as more amateurs stared in awe. Her challenger, some kid whose name she didn't know, tried the same thing only to wind up tearing the cans apart. Pathetic. She thought.
On the other side of the park, Tyson was wandering aimlessly around in search of an opponent. Some kid ran past him, looking like he was in a hurry. "What's the rush?" The kid paused with a cocky smirk on his face. "I gotta bit beast and I'm gonna beat the new kid today!" He said before running off. Intrigued, Tyson followed to see a crowd of kids looking on at what appears to be a Beybattle, but Tyson couldn't see the so-called 'new kid'. "S'cuse me, pardon me, coming through..." When Tyson got to the front, he was there just in time to see a black and crimson blade finish off someone else's indigo blade. He looked to the blader that won. "Kai?"
The kid looked to him and he gasped. The blader's eyes were a flaming mix of crimson and gold, so fiery that the blader's glare was white-hot. Tyson shook himself out of his trance long enough to realize the blader was a girl when she flipped her waist-length braid over her shoulder. Like Kai, she wore a white scarf that came down to her ankles and 4 sharkfin marks on her face, but the ones on her face were black unlike Kai's cobalt blue ones. She was clad in a long-sleeved shirt that had a navy blue torso and a black collar and sleeves; on the bottom she wore charcoal gray cargoes and black shin-high boots. On her hands were black fingerless bladers' gloves with silver marks on the knuckles.
"Hey Tyson!" He looked over his shoulder to see his friends catching up to him. He made his way back through the crowd. "Guys, there's some girl that looks kinda like Kai who's battling over there." The crowd parted for one reason or another. That female Kai double looked to the Bladebreakers with a look as if to say "What do you want?" Max's eyes widened. "She does look like Kai." She narrowed her eyes in a fierce, challenging glare. It wasn't an intense, icy glare like the ones Kai did, but instead it was a blazing, fiery glare that challenged the looker. In her hand was a black and red blade.
Kai looked from afar at the girl lookalike. Those eyes looked so familiar, but he couldn't place where from. Tyson started asking stupid questions that he couldn't figure out what he was saying, but judging by the girl's few, one or two-word answers, it had something to do with why she looked like Kai. "Isn't that Kai's scarf?" "No." "Did you copy those marks on your face?" "No." "Is no all you say?" "Shut up." It was pretty comical, actually. Tyson asked one last question. "Have you ever met Kai before?" "Who's Kai?"
The name seemed vaguely familiar to Saiyna, but so distant at the same time. "You've never heard of Kai Hiwatari?" Saiyna's eyebrow twitched involuntarily. "Did you say Kai Hiwatari?" "Yeah." She scanned the area for whoever Kai was. "Wherever you are Kai, get your sorry ass out here you double-dealing scum! I have a score to settle with you!" She yelled to nobody in particular. "I DARE you to say that again." Someone growled from the shadows. Saiyna shot the boy in the shadow of the tree an intensely fiery glare. They stare at one another for a moment, then in the same instant both whip out their loaded launchers for a beybattle. "Beybattle, no holding back, bit beasts and all." Saiyna growled. The crowd of kids backs up as the two circled so they were both in the light. "3, 2, 1, LET IT RIIIIIIIPP!" Both bladers unleash their blades; Kai's cobalt blade and Saiyna's black-and-crimson blade immediately strike one another relentlessly. Saiyna was starting to get the upper hand with her lightning-fast moves, but then Kai makes an unexpected move. "Dranzer, Flame Saber!" "Kaalyian, Illusion Strings!" As Kai's blade is engulfed in flames, black strings come shooting out of Saiyna's blade, covering the field in a network of criss-crosses, but wherever two lines intersected, a black blade identical to Saiyna's appears. "Scatter!" The entire fleet of blades scatters in different directions as the black strings disappeared and the Flame Saber missed.
Kai's eyes were following the original blade, but with the others constantly interweaving with one another, he quickly lost track of it as Dranzer took hit after hit after hit. "Dranzer! Attack!" Dranzer started moving all around the battlefield, hitting the blades. Once hit hard enough, the blade copies evaporated in a puff of black mist. Finally, one blade remained. "Dranzer, final attack, Flame Saber Full Power!" "Kaalyian, show no mercy! Apocalypse Inferno attack!" Kai's Dranzer came shooting out of its bit chip and emitted a shriek. Kai smirked. The girl smirked as well as her phoenix emerged, a red light shooting up into the sky as it took the form of her mighty armored phoenix. It was almost identical to Dranzer, but Kaalyian was clad in heavy golden armor and was covered in scarlet feathers with black markings on it. A white mane flowed out from the back of the crested armor on Kaalyian's head. Kaalyian threw back its head as it emitted a shrill war cry. The two phoenixes charged at one another for the final attacks or their aerial battle, Dranzer surrounded by a red aura and Kaalyian in an aura of pure fire. The two bladers that mastered the phoenixes were both surrounded by the fire of their bit beasts. The two collide, creating a deafening explosion in the air.
Dranzer shrieked in pain as it dissolved and retreated to its blade, dust clouds picking up. When it clears, Dranzer is plowed into the ground several feet behind Kai, and spinning strong in the center of the eradicated arena was Kaalyian. Kai had a look of shock on his face while Saiyna picked up her blade. That'll learn 'em... She thought bitterly as she pocketed her phoenix. The spectators gawked in awe at the blader with the phoenix called Kaalyian. Kai turned to Saiyna. "Who are you?" She gave him the fieriest look she had. "A disappointed friend," is all she said before turning and walking away with her white scarf flowing out elegantly behind her.
