19: Let it Rip - Battles commence

Dealing with adult life, the loss of parents, friends falling out, injuries and hurt is all hard to bare. Add tests and the growing age of sixth form and Daemon Heights is what your outcome is. The Bandits and the Demolition Boys are all going through hell at 'Hell Hole Heights' and dealing with it differently. Will they get over their pasts, graduate and find love, or will the trash can at the bottom of the road be easier for them? Its not easier being 18 and hiding things from your friends is not the option you can take without digging yourself further into your deep secrets and pasts. Mostly Kai/OC, lots of OC/OC and implied Ray/Mariah and Tyson/Hilary.

Disclaimer: I only own the Triagons, Cassy, Elisa, Sabre, Leo, The Bandits, The town, the Mansions, Dojos, Houses, Horses, other Animals, Bit-beasts and Daemon Heights along with all the teachers and different people you have never heard of before virtually…I own a gold mine. The plots mine too.

'Well, this is a spectacular turn out this year, well done to you all.'

'Get on with it.' It was only muttered, but anger and annoyance was clearly evident. The impatient blue haired teen paced up and down a bit more, waiting to start over.

'Tyson, shut up.' A slap was heard afterwards and pacing feet didn't move.

'Ow, why'd ya do that for?' Hilary rolled her eyes.

'And I must say.' Continued Mr Dickinson as he stood before the gathering crowd on the raised platform the PE teachers had dragged from the hall to act as a stage. Within the grey haired heads hands, was the loudspeaker that was making his speech known, luckily or unluckily depended on the person, to everyone in the school grounds. 'That I'm very impressed by your performances so far, with only the preliminaries under your belts. Well done to those who are through and commiserations to those who were beaten. I know of quiet a few tough competitors who have to keep their names near the top, so don't be ashamed of your losses, after all, your all in it to win aren't you?' He laughed. The crowd just sweatdropped and began to walk away in boredom. 'But there will be only one team entering this year, from all ages, so there will be a lot of very hard competition to try and beat.'

'Some confidence boost to the little kids huh?' The red head chuckled. 'They shall fear us.' He laughed evilly. The two-tone haired boy besides him gave him little more than a wary glance and took a few steps away from him, moving back further into the shadows.

'Hey.' The red head Tala moaned and stopped his evil plot to take over the world through making the littler kids afraid. He sighed. 'Wouldn't work anyway.'

'Tala.'

'What?'

'Quiet, the more you say the more I'm thinking of grabbing the telephone number to the nearest mental institute.' Tala just smiled sheepishly. Within the shadows of the school, where the team stood, the purple haired Bryan smirked, looking up from his thoughts.

'But you wouldn't send your greatest ally to that place would you?' He said, smirking at Kai. 'If you get rid of him, you might have to put up with that Granger guy in the final team.'

'So, let the tournament, officially begin.' A roar from the crowds was heard as Mr Dickinson finished his speech, beaming with delight. Kai glanced at the blue haired Tyson Granger, who now appeared to be doing a weird sort of dance whilst yelling something Kai couldn't be bothered to listen too. The two tone haired teen sweapdropped slightly.

'Fine, Tala remains in the land of the sane, for a while.' He finished. Tala smirked and punched Kai on the arm playfully.

'Wouldn't get rid of me would ya?'

'Hey, I think I want that number now.' Ian said from she shadows nearby. Spencer sitting on the ground, leaning against the brick building of the school behind him, laughed as Tala turned a blue icy glare on the smaller Russian, making him back up in fright. 'Err, on second thoughts, I think Tala should stay. Heh.' The red head smirked and turned away, brushing his hands together and walking off with eyes closed.

'Damn right.'

'Err, Tala.' The red head glanced back at Kai at his call, still walking forwards.

'What Kai?' The boy in question paused.

'You're an idiot.' Tala just huffed and turned back to facing forward, crossing his arms and sticking his nose in the air.

'Am no-' THUD.

The rest of the Demolition Boys laughed as Tala peeled himself from the floor, glaring back at the rock his feet had just met the acquaintance of. They'd fought for a second, and his balance had lost, meaning, he had a new face makeover, the joy of concrete.

'Umm, yeah Tala.'


'Where's Ry anyway?'

'With Theo.' At Elisa's words and meaningful stares Kat rolled her eyes. Yep, thought as much from Friday, great, dating the opposition. Thanks Ry, you just made my life one hell of a lot easier to keep training secret. Heh. Not.

She spoke aloud. 'I've gathered all I need to know then.' The rest of the group nodded.

The Bandits now all stood near their normal lunch table, in the full and blaring sun from the clear skies above. Cassy sat on the table top, eager eyes looking at her captain, Leo stood next to her, leaning back on the table. The calm Sabre sat on the bench besides Leo, arms and legs crossed, eyes resting on his captain's form. And Elisa now stood next to him, smirking as Kat sighed in disbelief over what she'd just been told.

'So, anyway. Why did you call us here?' Cassy asked eagerly. She wanted to start this tournament; there was lots of new blood to defeat and old rivals to kick the asses of.

Kat looked up at her team, smirking again, disbelief put aside. She'd drag Ry into more training later, for not coming when commanded. Kat felt herself chuckle slightly; she knew she was a slave driver, and she wouldn't have it any other way.

'I called you here today-'

'We aren't getting married Kat.' Elisa chuckled. Cassy laughed loudly and uncontrollably at her friends comment, followed by Leo who just about controlling his giggles, whilst Sabre just rolled his eyes. Kat sighed; she pulled her disbelief back off the shelf and covered her whole self with it. Why did her team have to be like this at times when she didn't want them to be? She sighed. Then again, she wouldn't change them for anything either.

'Not funny, Elisa.'

'Tell Cassy that.' Kat just rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. She stared at Cassy, now the only one laughing lamely at the comment. Tapping her foot Kat looked at the blonde as she finished laughing.

'Done?' The duel haired girl asked eventually. Cassy nodded. 'Good, I called you here now.' She sent a glare at Elisa, Leo and Cassy. 'So I could just say a few things.'

'Great a speech.' Cassy groaned and Elisa laughed again.

'For gods sake's, your acting like little kids today.' Kat muttered. At THAT the whole team shut up and turned to face her. Unwritten rule number one of the Bandits, little kids sucked, big time, acting like one was like asking to be an outcast. 'Good.' Seeing that they'd settled, Kat uncrossed her arms and smiled.

'Basically, good luck. All of you. Battle at your best from the start; don't hold back at all, against everyone or anyone. And if any of us meet each other in the beydish, don't expect anything but a real fight from the other.' The girl sighed slightly and looked each member of her team in the eye. The calm ocean green of Elisa, the two browns of Leo and Sabre, one light and careless while the other dark and mysterious, and then the bubbly clear blue of Cassy, still beaming with excitement.

'All in all, from now until the final team for Daemon Heights is chosen, we are no longer a team, we are enemies, and only the best of us will make it to the finals, lets make this year an all Bandit team for Daemon.' The girl smiled.

'Lets kick some ass.' Cassy yelled throwing both hands in the air.

'No-ones got a chance now.' Elisa agreed, looking at Kat and smiling, her eyes glinting.

'We are gonna win this.' Leo said happily, punching the air in triumph like he'd already won.

'This year, the tournament will be ours.' Sabre said quietly. Kat nodded in approval.

'So.' She began again, and everyone's celebrating died down. 'I guess this is goodbye to the Bandits for a while, if we meet within the next few hours, expect the toughest battle of your life. This is what our training was for.' She placed her hand in the centre of them, fingers tensed outwards and spread, she looked up at them all. 'Good luck.' Cassy jumped from the bench and placed her hand on top of the older girls.

'Yeah.' She agreed.

'Hey, you guys are gonna need it with me around.' Elisa said putting her gloved hand on top of Cassy's.

'What ever Elisa, I'll beat you when I see you, no sweat.' Leo said doing the same. Sabre stood from his seat, blanked faced, and walked to the circle now forming near the bench. He too placed his gloved hand on top of everyone else's.

'And I'll beat you all.' He smirked. Kat nodded and was about to speak again when…

'Hey, guys I'm so sorry I'm late, but I'm here now, don't bother filling me in.' Suddenly another hand was placed on Sabres, a pale slender hand with a black watch around the wrist. They all looked up to see the black hair and brown eyes of Ry Mayaga. 'And Sabre, if your gonna beat us all, then I suggest you get your head checked out.' She smiled. 'Because the day anyone beats me is the day I fall dead, and I am not dying today.' Kat laughed lightly.

'Well then.' The team all smirked and looked at their captain as she smirked. 'I think its time we said goodbye to the Bandits for a while, we are enemies until the finals, after one last thing. Who's gonna win this…?' She paused and smirked at all of them. They smirked back. As if on cue they all threw their hands up to the skies, even Ry who wondered what was happening, yelling the name of the 'winning' team.

'BANDITS.'


I look towards the yell of my enemy team. They're all smiling now, nodding goodbyes, calling to each other, waving, and then walking away from each other. The end of the Bandits again. I smirk. It happens every year, its basically tradition now, for only a few hours during this day, the Bandits split up, leaving each other's sides to fight everyone else, and to win. Kat says if they are not on a team together, then they will fight harder when and if they meet each other, personally I think it just gets them synced up, because they know that they haven't really split up, so instead they just battle harder because of the competition, and the fact that they might face each other, not that they no longer are a team. I sigh; Kat's mind confuses me half the time.

I smirk now, and then turn to my team in the shadows of the school building. Tala is fiddling with Wolborg, giving the wolf some final adjustments before the main rounds begin. Bryan seems to be asleep, but I know better, he is just thinking, mediating if I can go that far, preparing himself. Ian is eating from his bag, some sugarcoated sweets by the looks of things, I roll my eyes, that wont do him any good. And Spencer is looking at me, smirking slightly as he leans against the mound of bricks that is Daemon Heights.

'Are you planning any speech like the kitty did?' He asks. I shake my head.

'No, we're still a team, and you need no speech, you all know what to do.' He laughs lightly.

'Yep. And if I meet you, me and Seaborg are gonna take you out.'

'Where? Where are you taking Kai?' Everyone, including the now awake Bryan, turned to Ian. Tala laughed.

'And you called me insane.'

'You still are Tala.' I laughed after my comment. Tala just turns to me and smirks.

'Heh, you love me really.' At that everyone backed up at least a foot. Tala opened his mouth to whine when suddenly the loudspeaker turned on again. We all turned to the stage once more, Mr Suto, our P.E teacher, stood there, a long list of names in hand.

'Ok Guys.' He called, his voice crackling through the speaker all across the school grounds. 'It's down to 150 of you out there. So here's the draw out for round 1, sorry it took so long, there's a lot of you you know?' He laughed. 'Anyway…'

Here comes the boring list again. I turned away to go and lean against the wall, until a name familiar to me was called.

'K Triagon...'


'Already?' I muse, a small smile appearing on my face as I turned from my spot out of the sun beneath the conifer tree where I've taken refuge. I look at the platform in the middle of the playground, arms crossed, eyes alert. I've been called for the first draw of round one, which means I'm in one of the three bigger dishes near the Tennis courts. Good, I don't think the smaller plastic ones would have been able to take Whisper.

''Damn right.'' I smile at my bit-beast's words at the back of my head. I'll never get over the surreal feeling of sharing your mind with someone else. Especially when it's a arrogant Unicorn with a serious attitude and an ego that could possible overpower Granger's, I'm surprised there's any room for me up there.

But who am I against? I listen.

'…vs, M Tate.' I smirk. M Tate. Max then, the bubbly blonde from the Bladebreakers. This will be easy as hell. Man, piece of cake. I smirk in the direction of where the Bladebreakers have been standing together, near the drinks stand…mainly because the food stand is next to it. The blue haired Tyson Granger is now hugging Max, and bouncing around like an idiot. What am I thinking, he is an idiot.

Well, well Max Tate, I haven't battled you before, in five years. But I assure you, I will beat you, I don't need to know your attacks and plans, because I'll beat you easily, it is that simple, I'll predict you're every move. And I'll do it so quick, you wont be able to use your well-known defence against me and my Whisper.

''You do know he can't hear a word of what your saying right?'' I gasp slightly in surprise and then snap in anger, why did he interrupt me the stupid mule?

'Whisper, for gods sakes you little id…'

''Just get over there. They're waiting for you.'' Heh, so they are. I sigh but smile afterwards, and brush my hair back over my head. I smirk. It's stomping time.


(Ok, short chapter, and crap chapter. . Sorry, these fillers aren't any good right now are they? But soon the tournament will start, and I'll be writing some more actual Beyblade, hopefully I'll succeed in that. Okey dokey then. Hope you enjoy and stick around for the next instalment of SS. Review please. Thanks in advanced)
