Flashback Sequence
[Dream Sequence]
Disclaimer: I don't own shit! (But I really wish I did.)
One year had passed since the BEGA incident and now everything was truly back to normal. The BBA Building was completely repaired and Mr. Dickenson had moved the organization from the temporary spot under the bridge to the new and improved building. It was only matter of time before the new world champion ship would be announced and this time it was going be BIG with a capital B.
Those who had supported BEGA during its reign had switched to the BBA after the justice 5 Tournament when Boris true intensions where revealed to the public. The BEGA Team had it pretty rough during the first weeks after BEGA´s fall. But after some time people started to understand that they were just victims of a madman. And has the months passed their reputation got better and better, they even earned some fans to.
Our story begins a beautiful summer afternoon in Bakutan City, has usual the Beyblade Fan-club was out haunting famous bladers and today they were extra lucky…
"THERE HE IS! WE FOUND HIM" Yelled a herd of Fan girls and pointed at a boy with spiky orange hair and the white formal outfit he was known to where. The girls started to run towards the defenseless boy ready to tear him apart.
Said boy heard this and turned around and to his horror saw what looked like an invasion from a medieval war movie. With pure fear in his eyes and a high pitched scream he took off running in the opposite direction of the monsters chasing him.
The chase continued through the streets of the City with neither part letting up. The boy knew the girls were getting closer and they would defiantly rip him apart because they couldn't control themselves but that is how most fan girls are, like it or not.
With the herd gaining ground every second he knew he had to hide and fast. He saw and decently empty alley and took a right turn in. He hid behind some big garbage cans and waited. His heart was beating so fast he thought he was going to have heart attack. He was actually really scared even though they were just girls. He had heard many stories of fan girls breaking in to their idols homes and taking personal belongings, most recently he had heard that his old rival Kai Hiwatari had a break-in at his mansion in Russia a couple of weeks ago and the only things they stole was his scarf, face paint and underwear, so it was pretty safe to say that it was his fans… if not some perverted old man that had a fetish for famous young male bladers… probably not though…
Suddenly he heard footsteps coming his way. He clenched his teeth and shut his eyes hard… "I don't want to die, I don't want to lose my underwear. I just want to go home, just let me go home" he pleaded.
Suddenly the footsteps stopped right in front of the garbage cans were he was hiding. He was ready to hear screams and feel his clothes being torn of his body any second now, instead he heard a male voice.
"Brooklyn! Is that you? Why are you sitting behind those garbage cans?
He opened his eyes in shock and turned around to see who it was.
"Tyson? Hey Tyson!" He said and stood up fast. "Oh you know just sitting here and thinking about life the usual stuff…" he excused and laughed nervously.
Fangirls? He said questioningly and smirked knowingly.
"Yeah" he sighed and scratched his head. "Can you help me get rid of them?"
"No problem buddy, just follow me"
The two boys exited the alley and started walking down the street. After about ten minutes they had left the main city and come to a residential area.
"Hey Tyson where are we going?" He asked and was looking over his shoulder every five seconds to make sure the girls hadn't followed them.
"To my Grandpa´s Dojo of course it's the only safe haven for famous good looking bladers like us"
"And why is that?" he asked and looked questioningly at the blunette.
It's because in this Dojo my Grandpa Jumps out from nowhere and hits people in the face with his kendo stick every five minutes, so they don't dare to go there anymore.
"Anymore?"
"Yeah, they have tried" he stopped in front of a big wooden gate. "Here we are" he pushed open the massive doors with relative ease and walked in.
"So this is where you live huh?" Brooklyn said when they entered the dojo.
"Yep, home sweet home"
"By the way where is your grandpa anyway? Shouldn't I have been smacked in the face by know?" he asked and looked around hastily for any sign of a ninja grandpa waiting somewhere.
"He is not home" Tyson said and took of his shoes.
Brooklyn stopped dead in his tracks has he was about to take his shoes too and stared at the blunette in disbelief "then how is it safe here if he is not home?"
Even if Brooklyn could only see the back of the Dragon he knew he was smirking.
"The girls don't know that… do they?" he answered and started walking down the hall
Brooklyn just shrugged and followed him.
The boys entered the living room. While Tyson went straight for the kitchen, Brooklyn stopped in the middle of the room just taking it all in, he was actually in Tyson Grangers house "This is so strange" he taught.
"So Brooklyn, why are you in Bey City anyway?" Tyson asked as he returned from the kitchen with two sodas handing one to the redhead and flopped down on the couch.
"Well" he said as he sat down on the other end of the sofa "Me and my team lives here now"
"You mean Mystel, Garland, Ming Ming and Crusher?
"Yeah everyone besides Crusher" he said and sighed "he was only in it to save his sister, but the rest of us had all become really good friends in the short time BEGA was up plus we had our common interest in Beyblading and playing together in future tournaments So we decided to become an official BBA team"
"That's so cool! Well to bad about Crusher though, that guy had heart, but anyway are you guys going to Battle in the next Champion ships?
"Of course and we are going to win"
"I don't think so because I'm planning on taking my 4th title
"Well see" he said and laughed.
Being here in Tyson dojo sure was strange. Just one year ago they had been bitter rivals fighting to win a tournament which would decide the fate of the sport they both now loved and it had ended with half of the city destroyed.
Being a part of BEGA was something Brooklyn and the others highly regretted. His defeat in finals of the justice 5 tournaments had opened his eyes to what beyblading was really all about and also that Boris was an evil bastard that only used people, but he had realized it too late.
Now there was nothing else to do besides trying to earn everyone's trust, show them that he and his team wasn't like Boris at all and convince everyone that they were a serious team now with goals, rules and respect for other bladers and the sport itself, it wasn't going to be easy but they had start somewhere right? I mean the Blitzkrieg Boys had done it... So why couldn't they? They had all been victims of the same madman.
"Brooklyn?" Came Tysons voice and snapped him back to reality
"Yeah, what?" He said and turned his attention to the Dragon.
"What happened to you guys after our battle last year?"
"Well" he began "since Ming Ming was the only one with a place in the city, we stayed with her and kept away from the public eye for some time and mostly bonded has friends I guess"
"That explains the rumors of you guys leaving the country in shame"
"Well you know, when you work for a known Ex criminal and destroy half the city you don't become very popular" he sighed and closed his eyes "I wish I never meet that purple haired freak…"
Tyson nodded in agreement. It's not the first time he had heard those words and not the first time Boris had used someone, he remembered his first champion ship tournament tree years ago, which was also the first time he met the man.
After about two hours of TV watching, chatting and playing games, the sun was starting to set.
"Hey Tyson, What time is it?" Brooklyn looked over to the boy who had almost fallen asleep.
Tyson lazily picked up his phone and unlocked it "5pm" he said and dropped it on the table again.
Brooklyn's eyes went wide "HOLY SHIT! IM SO LATE!"
He left Tysons dojo with such speed that the blunette didn't register ever him ever leaving, he was just suddenly gone…
After Brooklyn had left Tyson picked up the game they had been playing for the last hour, he had never been so badly defeated at one of his own games before.
He growled and threw it across the room. "Of course Brooklyn is pro and Call of Duty. He fucking pro at everything he tries. "Oh Tyson I have never played this game before! Please go easy on me!" Tyson was trying to mimic Brooklyn's voice" when they were playing earlier "Fucking 40-0… never played before my ass!"
Back at Ming Ming´s apartment.
"Where the hell is Brooklyn!? He is two hours late… AGAIN!
From the couch Mystel and Garland was watching Ming Ming walking in circles and freak out over Brooklyn's absence with amused looks on their faces.
"Calm down Ming Ming, so what if he is a little late" came the voice of Mystel
SO WHAT!? Ming Ming Shouted "WE WHERE SUPPOSED TO EAT DINNER TWO HOURS AGO, WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU!?
Why are you screaming at me? I'm not to one who is late am i? The blond tried to defend himself against the pop star.
"Wow you have really pissed her off this time" Garland mumbled has he stood up eyeing the diva standing in the middle of their living room glaring at the blond on the couch so pissed it looked she was going to literally explode any second.
"You know Ming you should calm down or else you might pop that huge vain on your forehead" Mystel chuckled and pointed at her
The divas face went blood red and her eyes black has the night...
YOU LITTLE...
"SOOO" came Garlands voice and interrupted Ming Ming has she was about say something really nasty to the blond. "Our dinner is cold, we are starving and Brooklyn is still not here... should I just order a pizza before we die?
Ming Ming calmed down a little and her face went back to its normal color, she nodded "pizza sounds good"
Garland nodded back and grabbed phone, leaving the room to call for some food.
Ming Ming glared at the blond on couch who grinned back. She really wanted to slap that stupid smile of his face but she was far too hungry "I will get you later" she growled and left the living room and a laughing Mystel.
Next morning
A sharp knock on the door brought Tyson back from dreamland. He sat up and realized that he wasn't in his room he was actually sitting on the couch and the TV was still on.
"Aw man… I fell I sleep on the couch again" he groaned "and my back hurts to"
He got up and started walking to the kitchen for some breakfast when he heard the knocking again. This time it was louder and fiercer.
"Yeah… yeah I'm coming he mumbled" he made his way to the door and opened it. Outside stood Kenny and Hilary.
"Nice of you to finally wake up Tyson" Kenny said and smiled "I have something for you" he passed the still half asleep boy with Hilary and entered the living room.
About a minute later Tyson came back in to the living room and sat down on the couch opposite of Kenny and Hilary.
"So chief, what did you have for me?" Tyson finally said and was getting a little impatient.
"Take a look at this" pulled out a new beyblade... That looked oddly familiar.
"That… That is a new Dragoon Tyson stuttered" he could feel the excitement building in him.
"Yep, Dragoon Metal Phantom, It is the best beyblade i have ever built so you better not lose it" Kenny said and eyed the speechless boy in front of him. "It took me 3 full days of work to get its just right; I also had to wait one whole month to get the latest high-tech gear from Max´s mom before I could even start building it"
Tyson didn't hear anything Kenny said, He was lost in paradise; in his hands was the most epic beyblade he had ever seen, he had to test it... like right now!
Hilary who had been silent the whole time finally decided to join in seeing has Tyson was not with them at the moment
"Tyson! Hello are you there?" she waved her hands in front of his face trying to get contact… nothing
She looked at Kenny who just shrugged.
She decided to try something else. She stood up and raised her right arm.
"What are you going to do now" Kenny stared at the brunette "wait you're not going to sla…?
"SMACK!" Hilary´s right hand made contact with Tyson cheek and he was sent flying to the floor.
Kenny sighed and looked down on the boy on floor who had finally woken up from his Daydreaming. "Was that really necessary" he asked the smirking brunette
"Yep" she answered and sat down again "And totally sweet" she chuckled.
Tyson who hadn't registered the hard slap got on his feet and raced out of the living room with incredible speed. "Where is he going" Hilary frowned has she heard the front door slam shut.
Kenny didn't answer but his eyes went wide like he just realized something and he also took off after Tyson.
Hilary just sat there dumbfounded "okay... I better go and see what the hell is going on with those two"
Outside Tyson was trying to launch his new beyblade while Kenny was trying to stop him yelling that it was too dangerous.
"NO TYSON! YOU CAN'T LAUNCH IT HERE! YOU CAN HURT SOMEONE!" Kenny yelled has he tried to take the beyblade from the blunette who was with all his might try to keep the shorter boy off him and at the same time launch his new beyblade.
Hilary came rushing out after the boys only to find them in a wrestling match on the lawn.
"What the hell are you two doing? Get of each other now!" the brunette tried to separate the two boys but ended up being dragged in herself.
Soon there was Full three-way wrestling match on Tysons lawn, with the Neighbors watching, cheering them on and betting money on Hilary.
At the New BBA Building
"Mr. Dickenson?" Hearing his name being called brought the old man back to his senses after being in deep thoughts on some upcoming events. He took up the documents and put them away before answering.
"Yes" he called out to his secretary over their little private office telephone.
"You have a visitor, he says he knows you"
"Send him in" he said and released the speak button.
"Ah! Hiro my boy" the man smiled recognizing the young man has he entered the office.
"Hello! Mr. D how have you been?" He asked and took a seat in front of the desk.
"Good! A lot of work lately though. You know, to get the business back in gear after the little incident last year"
"Yeaah" he said and laughed a little. "You know I only joined them to help Tyson and the G-Revs get stronger right"
"I know" he said and smiled "you don't have to explain yourself to me Hiro, I knew about your real intentions all along"
"Well anyway" he said having trailed of a little from the real reason he was visiting "I didn't come here just to visit" I have something to tell you.
The old man nodded and urged him to go on.
Last week the Australian Regional Beyblade Champions where surprise challenged by and unknown team and of course everyone who was there taught these unknown bladers would lose big time… but that was NOT the case.
"So what happened then?" Mr. Dickenson asked and looked at Hiro who just stared down at the floor.
"Of the four Members on the champion team" he began "two where sent to the hospital and one died of internal bleedings, he finished and looked at the old man who looked utterly shocked.
"Wh... Why I haven't I been told about this" was all he could get out.
"Well like you said earlier you have had much work to deal with, plus the match was unofficial and was never shown on TV, they just showed up and challenged them on the spot.
"I still should have been told by someone" he growled "This is the first match in the history of Beyblade where someone has died!" Mr. Dickenson slammed his fist on his desk so hard that his reading lamp well of and broke "I want to know all about the team that did this. I will make sure they won't get within a mile of a beyblade ever again!"
"Well like I said, they are completely unknown. I don't even have a team name on them" Hiro was genuinely scared right now. He had never seen the always jolly and happy round man lose it like this, he however fully understood it.
"By the way Hiro, how did you find out about this" Mr. Dickenson was eyeing the young man with slight suspicion.
Hiro was now also starting to get ticket off when he realized that Mr. D was actually questioning him about the matter, Like he would have anything to do with Beybladers like that. No he had had enough of this interrogation, he looked Mr. Dickenson straight in the eyes and opened his mouth to talk "I was there… I saw it with my own eyes... but I had NOTHING to do with it" With those words he stood up and left the room, but now without slamming the door real good to show Mr. D that he had crossed the line with that question.
Mr. Dickenson didn't bother stopping him. He knew their conversation was over. He was really too upset to continue anyway and he knew he had done wrong by questioning Hiro like he would have anything at all to do with it. But right now he need time to think, figure things out and most importantly finding this unknown team before it happened again…
I know what you are thinking… Someone dying of internal bleedings from a beyblade match!? What!? I know it's a little extreme but considering the matches that went down at the end of the 3rd season I thought it could happen… Well anyway I hope you liked it and please review it would mean a lot. Although I said I wouldn't I am changing 1 pairing, Instead of Mystel x Mariah I will have it changed to Ray x Mariah a little common I know but I like it more…
