Shitza: Ah, well... I hope the Latin exam went well. I had around twenty words I had no clue about, twenty more I was really uncertain about. It is around 40/260. Sigh... I do not long for my next exam.

Anyway... hem, hem... I think we should go on with the story. I am still writing attacks and such, the inspiration has been lacking lately. Well, have to blame it on too many attacks, the ideas are sort of slowing down. But most of the characters have recieved theirs. I had to skip some second attacks though, which means there are mostly one attack for each character.

Chapter 1 Open the Gates

The snow slowly fell over the hidden litle village somwhere in China. A pink haired woman termbled from the cold, watching the smaller kids play in the deep white cold powder that melted by your touch. She put the pink blanket tighter around her, still waiting for her husband to wake up. Normally Ray Kon wasn't a late person to get up, but last night her brother, Lee, and their friend Kevin had dragged him of into a smaller town to do, well whatever men did on a pub. She did certainyl not like when Ray returned home drunk, all though he would pay today. That rice wine was strong and Ray would have a tremendous headache today.

Indeed she could hear his moans comming from their bedroom. Twenty minutes later Ray walked out, blue rings under his eyes, his eyes in a painful trance and his body aching all over. His head was pounding in a horrible beat. Mariah couldn't help but chuckle as the soon to become Head of this Village moaned into the faint and clouded sunlight. He sounded like a weak cat.

"Good morning, sunshine!" she said smiling. Ray tried to smile back, and he almost suceeded before putting his hands on his head just longing for the headache to disappear.

He sighed. "When I get my hands on either Lee or KEvin they will wish they had never been born. Oh, my poor head. It feels like it's going to burst any moment."

Mariah waved at one of the elders walking pass, chuckling at the sight of the young couple. "I do know how you feel, young Mrs Kon. This happened all the time with my husband!"

Mariah smiled as the elder woman disappeared into the falling snow. "You know Ray, she do have a point. You are a lousy drinker and really, how much did you enjoy last night?"

Ray groaned being down-voted by his wife. Wasn't it already enough that his teammates were picking on him with every letter he got. Mariah returned back to the warm spaces of their house. Ray stood breathing some fresh air. Maybe it could clear away some of his pain.

As he stoo there waiting he saw something approach from the heaven. Moments later an ice cold pigeon landed before him. The poor bird was half dead arriving. Ray quickly pickedd it up and carried it inside, his headaches and pain now forgotten.

Inside the bird could rest together with some more, locked up in a cage. But before it left Ray's protecting hands the raven-haired teen untied the letter from its leg. His feline eyes scanned the message before he hurried to find his wife who was in the kitchen. Sadly he told her about the message and after some hours the whole village knew. But that wasn't all. Even if th news had become great the greatest news was that Ray had to leave the village yet again to help his friends.

Mariah kissed her husband good bye before he made his way over the snowcovered mountains. No one knew what to expect as a new time was yet to begin.

"Tyson, look who is here!" Hilary said exited dragging her boyfriend towards the gates. Outside stood a slightly sunburned Max smiling hyperly. By his side was Ray, recently having flown in from China.

"Max! Ray!" Tyson said happily greeting them.

"Hi T, how's it going?" Max asked. He was dressed in a green t-shirt with orange linen around the neck. Orange trousers a a orange vest. he had a bleck belt, tied with purple turtle-lock. He also wore green shoes and green fingerless gloves.

"Morning Tyson, been a while!" Ray said shaking his hand as well.Ray's clothes adn't changed much, and probably never would. He wore the usual chinese shirt, black pants and shoes. Red fingerlessgloves with the Yin Yang. His red bandanna he had recieved from his sister at young age, also with a Yin Yang on top. His hair was like allways, tied back in a wrap. The only change was the belt, that had probably been inspired from his time in the Valley. It was a white belt, but the remaining fabric hung loosely with the same pattern of a tiger. White tiger to add.They didn't have time to do much more before a black limousine appeared and everyone could guess to whom this did belong to. A door opened and Kai walked out.

Kai's clothes had changed as well. He wore dark lilactrousers with a red linen down the leg. Black shoes, red belt, dark lilac shirt. On top of that the black jacket, probably also inspired from the Valley as it had painted fire on the lower parts. Red linen along the arms and his old scarf around the neck. Oh, and not to forget the ancient cool sharkfins on his cheeks.

(Shitza: And that clears out four of my fan-arts.)

Tyson greeted his captain happily. Kai simply nodded without speaking. To say he looked sort of tired, but the guys didn't know he just had returned from the most boring eight hour meeting ever.

They all gathered up inside the dojo. Hilary had been nice to prepare some sandwiches for them. They sat down on the floor of the training room, which was really empty now that only Tyson lived there. It was good for him that he was World Champion for through the years they all had recieved a lot of payments for all the thousand of interviews and such they had recieved. Tyson was stunned when he had opened his bank account only to find he had over millions there. Max and Ray had been equally impressed at the amount, however they had no special love for money or fame anymore. Ray had used his money to help his village and his home wanting to retire there once everything was over. Max had more educational ideas and his money would go to his studies. Well, you couldn't say Tyson was rolling around like a king really. After all his fame he had sort of settled back, unless the tours were on and most of his money went nowadays to pay for the keeping of the dojo. Hilary was the only one enjoying it, as she often too care of the more common interviews as she was one of the coaches and the girl loved to shop. It came as an agreement that her shopping was her money though, for they all feared her incredible frustration of browsing every shop they came by.

Kai on the contrary didn't give the hell of care about what he owned. After all, he had one of the world's biggest companies. However he had a lot of family friends that too care of most parts of what he did. He was rarely seen around the office and more seen around the beydishes.

The snow slowly cleared from the chil air and only remained on the ground. It had ceased falling. The hours grew late and they all decided on following. Tomorrow, they would have to find out what was going on on RBA and secondly they would have to sneak in and do some riddiculous sneaking around.

RBA

A sole blade sizzled through the empty stone chamber. A single black-glowed hand was held to catch it as it came back. The other hand, which didn't wear anything, clutched the launcher. The blade and launcher belonged to the first guard of the RBA Entrace Chambers. 1/3 of the RBA security system at the big entrance. Two massive doors stood on the other side of the room, leaving no light to see through. The room she stood in only had hundreds of candles lighting up the place, no other light would help her. The girl was trembling slightly, hating this darkness. But it was yet another test which she had to endure if she wanted to become worthy of her post.

She launched again as two smaller doors behind her opened. She smiled and fell to her knees in a honourable bow.The aged man before her smiled. Then he took out something from a box. A brand new beyblade.

"They will be here by tomorrow. You know what you have to do!" he said giving her the blade. She smiled, attached the new blade to her launcher and launched. A roaring cry echoed as her bit beast appeared. She smiled victoriously as the man disappeared yet again.

The next Day

Kai sat by a tree, Max was improving parts of his blade and Ray was inside to wake p a still sleeping Tyson. Or so he thought, because to his astonsihment the blue haired teen wasn't home. Moments later they all went to search for him, and found him by the river, training. Hilary went to check his temperature to check if he had a fever of some sort. Tyson had never been up this much earlier then before. Tyson had also renovated Dragoon, now with a new blade called DS Dragoon (Diamond Storm Dragoon). A unbreakable creation of Kenny that had cost a fortune to make. Parts of the blade had been made of a super thin layer of unbreakable diamond. The other Bladebreakers had blades similiar to the new invention. DB Dranzer (Diamond Blaze Dranzer) for Kai, DT Driger (Diamond Thunder Driger)for Ray and DF Draciel (Diamond Flood Draciel) for Max. The new blades were so powerful that they blazed in the open air. It was a creation of talent and it had taken each of them a long time to master them. If you though that the Metal System was hard, this was a million times harder and a billion times more difficult to control.

The Bladebreakers watched in amusement as Tyson launched yet again, sending his blade crushing stones and cutting crass. Tyson scratched his nose as the blade stopped before having another havoc at the defenceless nature. Tyson recalled Dragoon as they all hurried into town to finish their task before dinner. Or so, they hoped.

Their run was even more and more confusing as they went. For as they had believed it this would be another evil corporation. but with every step they took they saw more and more of the bladers of the RBA, all dressed in black. Tyson pointed this out to the others and they could easily follow the trail of bladers towards a huge park? There wasn't even a gate there, so weird?

Their mouths fell open, for the recognised some of the faces. Alan for example was seen chatting with aother gang of bladers and Max really wanted to go over there to talk with his old friend. Tyson spotted Antonio, the hyper boy who wanted to train new bladers. Well he did now, he taught some younger ones about blading in a nearby dish. Ray saw Frankie, the fishing blader from the American Tour so long ago. She still had her rod, enjoying a day of. Kai saw several of old faces from the Abbey, most of them wearing lab coats wondering what in the world they were doing here?

There were so many people the came to the decision that sneaking would be impossible. They saw a lot of normal dressed people having entered the area talking with their friends. Ray was shocked as he suddenly found a foot before his face before noticing it belonged to a ninja blader who appologised for his actions. Apart from that however there seemed to be no problems, yet they still kept on their guard. The got closer to two gigantic doors. The doors first seemed to be locked, but as soon as they touched them they swung open. Their launchers were ready for anything, but nothing happened. Confused they all stepped in and the doors opened.

"Finally!" a female voice said. "I was thinking you would never turn up."

(Shitza: Should I stop here... nah, I'm not my torture-loving Latin teacher)

HUndreds of lights around them suddenly burst up from white candles. The Bladebreakers stared into the dark as glittering chandeliars above their heads slowly decended from the ceiling. Two smaller doors opened to reveal a girl standing there, yawning. She had a white costume with pants and a jacket. Her short hair was pulled back into a very small pony tail. The girl launched her blade and...

There was a flash that blinded them and when they could focus again the girl was still there, but had quickly changed into a split-coloured dress where the righthalf was white and the leftblack. She wore a bandanna like Ray, split in the same way except that the left half was white and the rightblack.She had a gold belt around her waist, black shoes and a glove on her right hand. On her upper left arm was a black piece of cloth tied. Her hair was out now, it was shoulder cut and black. Her eyes were brown and smiled mischievously.

"You?" the members of the BBA Bladebreakers said in unison. The girl before the burst out laughing.

"Long time, no see, huh?" she said.

"Kim, what in the world are youdoing here?" Hilary asked. Kim continued to laugh. "Oh you should have seen the look upon your faces. It was priceless."

The Bladebreakers rolled their eyes. Kim was now now her knees trying to recover. With a few more chuckled she proceeded with her explanations.

"I could sound like ourGreeter, but I'm not the hyper sort of person. Anyway, welcome to RBA, the Revolutionary and Evolutionary Beyblade Company that started only a few weks ago, with an incredible popularity. We are slowly gaining the world, don't you think?"

Hilary held her breath. If that didn't prove things then what would.

"This place holds most of the new blading tecnology, anyway I will let you know more later. Right now we have to get down to business. You have to pass me before you can enter. Since you were nice enough to chose the guest entrance I can take a break from my boredom."

The Bladebreakers all glared at her.

"I am Guard nr 1 of RBA. I guard the first door and unles I find you as worthy new recruits my duty is to throw you out. Now, who will be the victim. It is a simple game, one on one. One round is all you have to give your best in. Is there any volunteer or do i have to simply throw you all out at once?" she tapped her foot to the floor.

"I'll go!" Ray said taking out his launcher and blade.DT Driger gleaming as he walked.

Kim nodded, pressed a hidden button on the floor with her foot. The floor opened to reveal a dish in the middle of the room. The black haired girl took out a data collecter, this pink one eyed glas you had over your eye that could read of the status of other bladers in battle. She stepped up to the dish, smiling victoriously. Ray followed suit, thinking it was time to teach the bird a lesson. Oh, he had no idea what would teach him a lesson.

"THREE... TWO... ONE... LET IT RIP!"

Ruyaka swooped over the dish, being chased by Driger. But not for long. The gold blade zoomed around and before Ray had time to react now chased his blade. Driger appeared to even the match, but should not have done so. The phoenix was blood thirsty and thus so dug his claws into Driger's back. DRiger howled in pain trying to shake the stubborn bird of, but the more he dried the more the phoenix swooped down with claw sin a deadly pose.

"You have really gotten a stinking tactic!" Ray commented. "Driger, attack!"

The white tiger turned and slashed after the phoenix. In the dish Ray's blade was attacking Kim's.

"Good, but not good eough. Ruyaka, evade. Into the air and then dive in again."

The gold blade obeyed jumping into the air to evade the attack. It then dievd in hitting Driger on the top making the blade wobble slightly.

"Let us finish this Ruyaka!" Kim said as a white rose appeared in her hand. "White Rose... on Fire!"

She flicked the rose, holding it outstretched before her. The petals left the pure little flower flying in a swirling movement. It looked rather innocent until... a few decimetres from the dish they suddenly burst into flames shooting down upon Ray, Driger and the white blade.

"Now Ruyaka, now is your chance!"" she yelled happily. The golden bit beast obeyed. It hit Driger sending him retreating to his blade. The gold blade hit the opponent and sent it soaring. Ray was stunned, not understanding how this could happen. His clothes still smked from the attack.

Kim, still smiling, picked up her blade. "Good, but definetelly more room for improvement. Very well, looks like you six will have to take the long road. Bye Bye!"

The girl pushed yet another button with her feet and the ground under the Bladebreakers opened to reveal a trap door. There was yet another one under Ray. The six teens fell, bein swallowed by darkness.

Kim smiled. She walked over to the eastern wall where severall things hung. She took a headphone and called down.

"Guard nr 2, they are on ehtie way. Start preparing.

A voice smiled at her voice. The blader was ready to kick action. Soon would be another time to rip!
