Chapter 1
A Battle That Starts a Team
Yuna walked up to the beystadium. She held her blade, Dreema, tight in her hand. Dreema was a bitbeast that was a mix between a tiger and wolf, and harbored great powers of light as well as dark. She had purple, wolflike fur that had golden strips like a tiger. Her claws were not retractible, but were razor sharp and at full lenghth. Her eyes were a deep red that glowed like firey lava, and a blunt, long muzzle. Her attitude was grim and feirce. She always sliced the opponents blade into pieces, leaving the small parts scattered everywhere in the arena. Yuna, on the other hand, looked like she couldn't harm a fly; but she was far from harmless. Her nature consisted of being happy and bubbly most of the time, making people smile and become happy. She was bipolar though, and was very sensitive about things. If you ever got her mad, though, expect hell to freeze over, and a deadly wooping along with it. She had blonde, sort of frizzy, poofy hair that just skimmed the top of her shoulders. Her bangs covered just below her eyes, but she aways kept them parted so she could see. She had green eyes that changed color to express her mood, and wore the same thing every day; a simple strapless black dress that went down to her knees.
Yuna stood poised at the edge of the arena. Today she was battleing against some well-known team she didn't know. They went by the name Bladebreakers. She saw the whole team standing around eachother, debating who would fight her. She started to think of her own team, the Disaster Guild. They didn't even come today to cheer her on! They left the work to her, so they could go to the carnival in town this week. She dismissed the thought, and started tracing over the intricate designs on the top of her beyblade where the bit chip was, over the attack ring, down to the defence ring, and so-on. She heard a commotion over at where the other team was. They were talking so loud, Yuna could hear them. She decided to ease-drop.
"No, Kai! Dizzy and I did an analysis on her beyblade, and it's attack power, defense power, and speed are far too high for Dranzer to handle!" she heard the short boy with the lap top say. The boy he was talking to, who Yuna learned was Kai, started to argue. "Are you saying a GIRL can beat my Dranzer, Kenny?" Now knowing the short boy's name, she smiled. Kenny started typing on his lap top. It talked! "Well, Kai, we're not saying that at all. It's just a high risk that Dranzer will be damaged beyond repair." it said. "Dizzy is right, Kai." Kenny said, showing the odds of the battle on his lap top screen. The lap top has a name? Yuna thought. She just smiled and kept ease-dropping.
The boy with the long black hair stepped in. "What about me, Dizzy?" he asked. "Well, Rei..." Dizzy began. "You don't have much of a chance either. A smaller chance than Kai, actually." he looked down in disapointment. Rei...got it. Yuna thought, organizing their names in her mind. And she liked the one who just talked...Rei. She thought he looked like a nice person, as well as cute. Then the blonde haired boy stepped in. "Hey, Dizz! What about me? Draciel has good defense power! Would that raise the chances of me winning?" Dizzy was quiet for a moment, calculating the results and data. "Not a chance, Max." it replied. "Draciel's defense power is immense, but the attack of that girl's beyblade is tremendous. Draciel would never be able to survive." Max...okay. Yuna thought storing away his name to remember it for later reference. Then the last of them, the boy with the cap and blue-ish hair, stepped in. "And what about me, Dizzy?" he asked. "You have the best chance of them all, Tyson." said Dizzy with no enthusiasm. Tyson...he must be the captin or whatever. Yuna thought to herself. Tyson blinked.
"Are you serious?" he asked, completely unaware that it was true. "Yes, Tyson. I am." Dizzy replied. Everyone looked at eachother, then Kai piped up. "Fine. Tyson will do this match. And remember - This is a one win match. If you lose the first time, we lose the tournement. There is only one round!" He said, sounding serious. "Yeah, yeah. I know." Tyson replied in a voice that was clearly mocking. Kai gave a short 'hmph' and sat down, and the rest of the team followed his action.
At last he came up to the arena. "It looks like it'll be Tyson against Yuna!" the announcer called. Yuna smiled happily, and Tyson gave the same smile back. Yuna looked behind him at Rei. She really liked him. He was sitting with his legs crossed, and his eyes were closed. She blushed a bit and looked at Tyson, who was staring at her. "I-Is something wrong?" she stammered. Tyson looked back at his team to see what she had been staring at, then turned around and put his beyblade on his launcher. "Yeah, there is, actually." he said with a smile. Yuna's heart started to pound. "We're not beybladeing yet!" he laughed. Yuna gave a quick sigh and laughed with him.
Yuna snapped on Dremma, her greyish-purple beyblade, to her launcher. It glistened in the light, despite it's dirty purple color. Tyson stared at it. "Nice blade!" he said to her in awe. He looked at it's attack ring. The ridged points that were common on an attack ring were amazingly sharp and pointed in an irregular direction. "I like that attack ring! I've never seen anything like it!" Yuna smiled. "Thanks! I like your blade, too." she said, pointind at his Dragoon. "Dragoon looks really strong." Tyson laughed. "yeah, well, so doesn't yours! What it's name?" He asked. "Her name is Dreema." she replied. Suddenly the announcer cut in. "Are you ready?" he called into the microphone. The crowd cheered. "We can still be friends, no matter who wins, right?" asked Yuna. "Of course!" Tyson gave a snort. It made Yuna laugh. They both threaded the cord into thier launchers.
The announcer started to count down. "3...2...1...LET IT RIP!" he shouted. Both Tyson and Yuna yanked the cords out of their launchers. Dragoon hit the floor first by a half a second, giving him the disadvantage of spinning longer. As soon as Dreema hit the arena floor, Dragoon rushed her and slammed her hard. The metals clashing together made sparks fly between them. Tyson was suprised when Dreema pushed Dragoon back and almost made him land upside down. He bacame more careful about what he does. All of a sudden her bipolar disorder started rearing it's ugly head. She became filled with rage from simple things that happened in the past. When she got in trouble for something she didn't do at school, when her older sister threw her favorite teddy bear in the pool and ruined it, when her mother left her home alone to go eat with the rest of the family. The thing that sparked her rage the most, was that her team didn't bother coming with her today to cheer her on, but go to the carnival and have fun while she worked the whole time for them. Doing their work as her own when it should be ALL of their work.
Her eyes turned a deep purple to express her anger and sadness. Tyson began to feel the power of Dreema rise tremendously. "Tyson! Watch out! Dreema's power grew a thousand fold!" Yelled Kenny as loud as he could. Tyson stepped back once. "DREEMA! GO!" screamed Yuna in her pain. Dreema roused in the bit chip and a black light shined above the beyblade. Out of the light appeared Dreema, screaming her defiance in an ear peircing shriek. Yuna's anger channeled into Dreema's mind, making her as ruthless as ever. "GO, DRAGOON!" Tyson yelled at his beyblade. A light similar to Dreema's, except white, appeared above his beyblade. Out of the light came Dragoon, his long claws raking the air, giving off a scream. The two bit beasts stared eachother down, Dragoon not moving a muscle, and Dreema swishing her tail from side to side menacingly.
Rei wanted a look at the battle to get a good look at who Tyson was fighting. He hadn't looked yet. He saw her bitbeast, and thought it was his Drigger at first, but he noticed it's coloring of the fur and eyes were way off, and knew it was the enemy's. He looked around some more and saw Tyson. Rei laughed in his mind at him. It looked like he was having a hard time with it. Then he looked again and found Yuna. He didn't think she would be that cute...her frizzy, poofy blonde hair was actually atractive. But when he looked in her eyes they seemed diluted with anger. Her cheeks were tear stained now, and she was still crying, but the tears were coming slower for she was getting low on the salt needed to make tears. He stood up and called out to Tyson. "There's something wrong, Tyson!" he yelled. Tyson turned around for just a second. "What do you mean 'somethings wrong!" he called back. "There's something wrong with Yuna! Her eye color is an unusual color, and she's crying!" Rei watched as Tyson looked close at Yuna. "You're right, Rei!" Tyson yelled, not looking back. Dragoon was beaten badly now. Dreema would've nearly severed Dragoons head had he not ducked at one point, but Dragoon had hurt his right arm badly, and couldn't use it, and the leancea, the claw that was most important, had been snapped and torn off. And the blade itself was in terrible shape. The attack ring was nearly shattered, while Dreema hadn't a scratch.
Tyson was getting very tired. He needed to get Yuna out of her rage. "YUNA!" he called out to her. "SNAP OUT OF IT!" Yuna only help her tear stained face forward in a rage. Something was really wrong. "Yuna! Tell me what's wrong!" he called. Yuna, with no more tears to shed, sobbed softly. "My...team...I hate them...I hate everyone..." Tyson was surprised to hear something like that. "Why do you hate your team?" he called, knowing Yuna was getting a bit calmer from getting her feelings out. "They left me here...they went to have fun and left me to do their work...their work that should be our work..." she said sobbing as she knelt to the ground. Tyson turned back to his team and smiled at them. "It's ok to be mad at them. I would be too, but you shouldn't take it out on other people. Just calm down." By the time Yuna had completely calmed down and went unconcious, Dreema had already got Dragoon's blade to stop spinning. Dreema had obediantly, in some way, found it's way back to Yuna's hand, who was lying unconcious on the floor. The announcer already called out Yuna as the winner by that time.
All the blade breakers ran over to Yuna. Rei pushed his way through the group of them. They all hovered over her as she started to wake up. She looked at all of them. "I hate my team. And as of now, I quit the Disaster Guild." The group all looked at her with surprise, then Rei had an idea. "Since you quit your team, why not join ours?" he asked. Kai grunted. "Why should we let some weakling, let alone a GIRL, join our team?" Kenny snorted. "I wouldn't be talking, Kai. If it was you instead of Tyson, Dranzer wouldn't be here, no wait, he wouldn't be anywhere if that was you." Kai grunted again and looked away. "I think she would be a great addition to our team!" Tyson gave Yuna a noogie, and Yuna laughed. "All who agree she joins the team, say 'I'!" Everyone except Kai yelled 'I'. "Fine, then! See if I care." Kai just looked away. Max walked over and gave Yuna a slap on the back.
"Welcome to the Bladebreakers!" he congradulated Yuna. "Uhh...thanks." she gave a wry smile. The announcer told them that since Yuna beat Tyson while she was still on the Disaster Guild, that they would go to the next round, and the Bladebreakers are removed from the tournement. They all agreed and left to go get freshened up. They were going to stop by Yuna's hotel to get her stuff, then to the Bladebreaker's hotel so they could all get ready to celebrate the coming of a new member.
