-1KAI
The time finally came for Ebony to leave. There was tears from Soraya and I was sorry to see her go. But we were excited about the tournament starting tomorrow so we weren't as sad as we should've been. We said our farewells as Tyson's dad came to pick Ebony up from the front of our house. Soraya waved until the car was out of site and looked at me. "Time for school." She said and I gave her a lift in my old black convertible. It made a nice change to drive myself than to sit in the back of some Limo all these years.
The primary school was next door to the school Hilary was teaching. I saw a group of kids dressed up like punks and looked like trouble. I saw them bully some of the smaller kids when they passed them. I watched Soraya run in to the primary school well away from the bullies.
But then I spotted Onyx slowly making her way to school unconcerned the bell had just sounded.
She slowly walked past the bullies and the last one put his arm out blocking her path. She tried to go around him and they surrounded her. The bulkiest one of all must've been the leader because the others remained silent as he talked. "So, On, you got something for us?"
"The names Onyx and no, I don't have anything for you." They were making her angry…however I saw a glimmer of something I didn't like the look of too much in her eye. "Oh I beg to differ On. Wallet, money, now!" One of them tried to put their grubby hands in her pockets and Onyx struck. She grabbed the little worm's fingers and bent them backwards until he was on his knees crying like a baby. She let him go and the runt ran off.
The rest of them came closer and tried to deliver a few blows to her body. But she jumped out of their circle at just the right time making them punch each other. I smirked as some of them were doubled over trying to catch their breaths from being winded. When Onyx came back down to earth one of them grabbed her arms and holding them behind her. She looked done for as the leader came over but I made sure to keep my nose out of this. I was sure she had something in store for the leader by that nasty twinkle in her eye. His nose was bleeding and he looked pissed off. He went to swing a blow at Onyx but she struck first by swinging her legs and torso in to the air before delivering a viscous kick to the face, making him fall backwards to the ground and land in a heap. The sickening crack of his nose could be heard and the rest of them retreated with their injured leader trailing behind.
"ONYX!" Hilary came running out to meet the little fighter who took flight. Just like Tyson she managed to outstrip a car with her speed. Hilary stopped by the gates and sighed. "Hey Kai." She said before going back in to the building. 'No school for Onyx today.' I thought getting back in to my car.
I drove around the city looking at my old haunts and checking out the new attractions in my car.
Then I spotted Onyx by the old warehouses heading straight for the one I used to train in. There was a man at the door and he let her in without hesitation. I came towards the warehouse and he looked at me for a second before letting me in too. 'That was easy.' I thought seeing a lot of commotion happening in the middle of the warehouse. I couldn't see what was going on and decided to go to the first floor to get a better look. "Hey Kai!"
"Yeah?" I turned to see the blade sharks sitting in a box with the best view of whatever was going on. "Sit down here and make yourself at home…again." I sat down overlooking what was going on.
Onyx was there on one side of a dish looking at her opponent. She launched her blade as did he, in less than three seconds she sliced through his blade like a hot knife through butter. "Next." I watched as she did the same to the next and the next. After a while they had to stop and clean up all the debris collecting in the dish. "Underground beyblading?"
"Why not? It's for people who don't get along with the goody two shoes crowd who stick to beyblading rules like glue. That way no one from the outside complains. We have only one rule here, no attacking the blader. It ruins the battles."
"Onyx?"
"I thought you would take an interest in her. She's the best we have, not at all sociable but a very powerful and talented blader." I couldn't argue with that. There was definitely something about her. She fought with a skill that I have never seen before in the cloud of her anger. She had found a way to use her uncontrollable rage to fight in a controlled way. It appeared Onyx uses this place to vent out her anger on other people's blades instead of using her fists. I would hate to think what she would've done if she had no where to get rid of some of the anger inside of her. I watched her for an hour before she finally stopped going up against some of the meanest looking bladers I haven't seen in a long time. She looked bored, unfulfilled and unchallenged. I decided to follow her and saw her heading to the beach where Hilary said she sometimes goes. The location was pretty well hidden from spectators in a large circle of cliffs. There was only a small path between the cliffs breaking the circle. Onyx stopped and looked around to make sure she was alone. She didn't think to look up as I stood on a cliff behind her to see what she was doing.
She launched her blade and a blaze of dark and light flames surrounded her and the Beyblade. It crashed through one boulder to the next not stopping for a moment's rest. I could feel Onyx was using a great deal of energy but still she didn't release her bit beast. Her movement was strong yet graceful with each tactic. Her movements were effortless over what I could presume was years of practice.
I lost track of time when she decided to finish her training off with a finale. The clouds above us turned black and swirled above Onyx's blade. The four elements swirled around her Beyblade before erupting in to the middle of the swirling clouds where pulses of light moved away from the clouds. It was a very spectacular thing to watch. But it wasn't over yet. To finish her move a massive ray of both light and darkness came back down to earth leaving a giant crater in the ground as a giant pulse exploded outwards. Onyx was blown back only to perform a back flip and land on her feet like a cat. That would definitely knock the opposition off their feet no problem.
Onyx walked off looking more relaxed and more importantly less angry with the world. I wasn't sure whether to warn the others about this kid. We weren't a team anymore but they were my friends, but then again I would be giving them an unfair advantage. It's at times like this I really wish Ebony was here to give me some pointers.
