"Ladies and Gentlemen!" yelled Jazz through the Microphone. "Take your seats please! The Battles are about to begin!"

There was a commotion, then there was cheering from people everywhere supporting their favorite teams. Meanwhile, Suki was found in the locker-room concentrating hard. She had met the guys she was going to battle with the wrong way. She wasn't supposed to have met her enemies like that; she was supposed to have met them in the battling field with honor… "What a big surprise are they going to have when they find out who they are battling with…" she thought.

"Suki," Said Chogokin. "Prepare, we are going out any minute now."

Suki grabbed Odeon, and went to the door just in time to hear "Here come the famous Blade Breakers!" there was a loud cheer, and the team walked to the center of the stadium.

Tyson was smiling, jumping up and down and waving his arms like crazy; Ray was walking right behind him blushing slightly; Max was next to Ray, smiling like Tyson, but waving only his hand to greet his fans; Kenny like Ray, was blushing as well and hugging his laptop; Kai was a few feet behind them eyes closed, arms crossed.

"And they are battling against the Blade Squids!" yelled Jazz. There was another loud cheer; and out came Chogokin and Vincent leaving Suki on the doorway.

"There's supposed to be three but now there's only two, because one of them broke his leg just yesterday; too bad for him, he wont have any fun for some time. But there's good news! He is being replaced just for today by the powerful, hardworking, one and only…" he paused and Suki smiled at the tension. "… SUKI TATEWAKI!" there was a louder cheer; she walked out waving her arm slightly to greet everyone. People were yelling her name, falling down the stairs, whistling like crazy, howling…


"WHAT!" screamed Tyson.

"I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!" Gasped Max.

"YOURE FIGHTING AGAINST HER!" shouted Ray.

"Seems so!" Said Kenny.

"Look at the Bright side." Said Kai's cold voice behind them. "At least you got to meet her before the battle."

"KAI! We know as much as you do about her!" screamed Tyson.

"Don't get so stressed out." Said Max to an about-to-faint Tyson.

"Sure, you don't have to battle her." He replied.

"Hey guys, Disi says that she's pretty tricky, agile and fast. Her bit Beast's a Phoenix, Odeon she calls it. The attacks are 'Fire Rain', 'Fire Wave', 'Dragons Breath' and 'Infernal Storm'. It also says that they might be simple attacks, but they are also very powerful." Informed Kenny.

Tyson looked at him with a stupefied expression. "I'm dead." He whined.

"No doubt. Well, nice meeting ya, Pal." Said Ray patting him on the shoulder.

"YOURE SUPPOSED TO BE ON MY SIDE YOU IDIOT!" yelled Tyson.

"I AM ON YOUR SIDE! But I'm also being honest!" Said Ray.

"A phoenix. Maybe I should take Tyson's place?" thought Kai. He looked from Dranzer to the rest of the team who were trying desperately to bring Tyson's nerves down. Kai smirked. "Nah," he thought, "too much fun to spoil it. Besides, fun's just starting."

"LET IT RIP!" Said Jazz over the Microphone.


"Will Suki Tatewaki and Tyson Granger please come to the plate!" said Jazz.

The two battles before had resulted in her teammates loosing. Suki saw no point in doing round 3 but she still did it to show "formability." She was disgusted in her temporary teammates, and she found no reason on why people cheered them if they were losers. But she was going to show everyone that she was not like the Blade Squids, that she was better.

"As far as I know, this is a phoenix vs. dragon fight." Thought Suki.

"Don't think Ill let you win Cuz you're a girl!" said Tyson.

Suki stared at him, irritated. He looked angry and all panicked up.

The battle began, with Suki and Tyson tugging at their launching guns and releasing their beyblades. The plate was full of walls of rock; it seemed to be a maze. Both beyblades landed in a small space together, they crashed and then separated. Suki's started moving out, with Tyson's right behind hers.

"Dragoon! Don't let them get away!" Commanded Tyson. A light emerged from the object and so did a dragon; as far as Suki knew, that was Dragoon and it started chasing after Odeon.

"Odeon! Go back and Fight!" commanded Suki. Odeon stopped going forward and started spinning faster. "Odeon! Fire Wave!" Suki's beyblade created a wave of fire that went against Tyson's beyblade; the dirt and rock melted around it and then Odeon jumped in the air and landed again, cracking the hardened black surface, revealing a mirror like surface now. Odeon kept her balance perfectly and to the surprise of Tyson, slid over to the boy's beyblade, crashed against it, made it slip and then Odeon crashed against Dragoon again, throwing it out of the battling field.

The crowd stood silent and then screamed loudly, cheering for Suki. Tyson fell to his knees, a vague expression on his face. "And the winner… SUKI!" more cheers.

Suki stared at Tyson as the rest of the gang ran to him, including Kai.

"You ok buddy?" asked Max.

"Good Battle." Said Ray.

"What are you talking about? Tyson was thrown out of the battle in less than a minute." Said Kai.

Everyone looked at him, including Suki, but he just shrugged. Max, Ray and Kenny sat next to Tyson, comforting him, but Suki's and Kai's eyes were staring at each other with so much concentration, it seemed they were in a staring contest.

"Tyson, get up." He said. "Present yourself to your new teammate."

This took everyone by surprise.

"WHAT!" demanded Tyson.

"But Kai!" exclaimed Max.

Ray said nothing.

"What are you talking about!" asked Tyson. "Didn't you see what she did to me! She's like… some slippery master of… slipperiness!"

"She was able to beat you that way." Reminded Kai.

Tyson sighed exasperated; he knew it, damn it. That wasn't the point. "She's been a strong opponent to beat for a while in this town." Kenny glanced up at her with a smile.

"Aww, chief, not you too!"

"Tyson, we're gonna need all the help we can get to fight against BEGA." Said Ray. "They have a new member."

This made Tyson think about it. They all stared at him, in hope for his agreement.

"Ok." He said finally. "But lemme tell you, it's just for this once—"

"Yeah, yeah." Ray grabbed Tyson by the neck and rubbed his head.

"Ill go tell the judges about it." Said Kenny and ran off.

Tyson picked up his beyblade and stared at it. Then he looked at Suki. "Welcome to the team." he mumbled. She just stared.


The Blade Breakers were now fighting against BEGA, they had gone trough all the battles with the help of Suki. They were in a tie, and now it depended on Suki to break it. Tyson (to his grumbling disappointment) and Max had lost their battles, and Ray and Kai had won theirs.

Suki stepped forward and prepared. She was battling a guy that had a costume; a black helmet that covered his whole head, black pants, white shirt, and a black cape. He called himself Tetsuo. The battle started. The plate had rocks as obstacles, and the beyblades kept jumping from here to there, avoiding each other.

Finally Tetsuo shouted "Poipoider! Come out!" and a Dolphin came out. Its tail was silver, its fins golden and a red body.

"Water vs. Fire? This should be interesting." Thought Suki.

After Odeon was released, the real battle began. Poipoider kept shooting water at Odeon, who in return shot fire. Tetsuo kept yelling insults at Suki, and she was begging to loose patience. She kept telling Odeon to hit the Dolphin, and the phoenix tried, but the pressure was so much, that she missed one of those times, and the fire ball crashed against Tetsuo's helmet, knocking it off and revealing…

Suki gasped and opened her eyes wide.

"Brother?" she asked. "What are you doing here?"
