Author's Note: Yay! I've finally gotten over my writers block. Here's the long awaited chapter. Anyway, first of all, I would like to apologize if my beyblade match is a boring and not very interesting because I really don't like to write about these competitions. In the future, I'll just get straight on with who won and who lost that's all.

Disclaimer: I don't OWN any of the beyblade characters. So don't sue. Man, I really hated to repeat this sentence.

Chapter Four- Nearly Defeated

The next afternoon, the Bladebreakers were up against the Shepards. The three players going against them will be Tyson, Max and Rei. The players from the Shepards were Yong Ong, Da Ge Ba and Sha Ya La.

The first was Max. His opponent was Da Ge Ba. A tall and skinny boy who looked like a lizard. "Ready you guys? Ok now here we go. 3, 2, 1, let it RIIIIIIIIP!" yelled Jazzman.

"Go Draciel." Yelled Max as he watch his beyblade zoomed towards the opponent's."

"Go Baaru! Destroy him." Yelled Da Ge Ba. His beyblade suddenly sidestepped Draciel and hit it strongly. The impact sent Draciel flying off.

"NO Draciel!" Max was shocked at being defeated so easily.

"Ha! We Shepards are the strongest in Asia now." Crowed Da Ge Ba.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Da Ge Ba from the Shepards won the first round."

Kai noticed at once that something was wrong with the battle. 'The enemy seems to know our strategy. How did they...unless someone betrayed us.' Thought Kai. He glanced at Yukisho who was busy typing something into her palmtop.

"The next round we'll see a match between hot favorite Rei Kon from the Bladebreakers and Sha Ya La from the Shepards." Yelled Jazzman. The crowd cheered and whistled loudly as Rei and Sha Ya La appeared.

Sha Ya La was a pretty girl and she gave Rei a flirtatious wink before giving flying kisses to the crowd who cheered even louder. Yukisho's eyes narrowed behind her shades as she looked at Sha Ya La carefully.

"Ready you guys? Ok now here we go. 3, 2, 1, let it RIIIIIIIIP!" yelled the Jazzman.

Both Rei and Sha Ya La released their beyblades at the same time. "Go Driger. Tiger Swipe. Crush her beyblade." Yelled Rei.

"Ga Sha Sha. Dodge and attack him with your Flying Claws." Commanded Sha Ya La.

Both beyblades rammed into each other. Driger was having the upper hand when suddenly Ga Sha Sha pushed it off and begin to ram it repeatedly until Driger was forced near the edge of the beyblade dish.

"Ha! Do you honestly think your stupid strategy could defeat me?" smirked Sha Ya La.

"Driger, White Flash Swipe." Ordered Rei.

There was a white flash and Driger appeared. It pounced on Ga Sha Sha and gave swiped it off the beyblade dish. Ga Sha Sha flew back into Sha Ya La's hand.

'Fuck! How did he manage to attack back? I was so close to winning.' She stormed off the stage.

"I can't believe it. Ladies and gentlemen, Rei Kon from the Bladebreakers won the second round."

"Lastly we have Tyson, former world champion from the Bladebreakers and Yong Ong, leader of the Shepards. Ready you guys? Ok now here we go. 3, 2, 1, let it RIIIIIIIIP!" yelled Jazzman.

"Dragoon, use your Dragon Storm Attack!" yelled Tyson.

'What? He is not going to use Dragon Fury Claws?' Yong Ong was slightly surprised that Tyson did not follow their strategy. He did not know that Kai had advised Tyson to change his attack technique. BOOM! Yong Ong's beyblade completely stop turning.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Bladebreakers are going to the finals against the White Tigers." Yelled the Jazzman.
