Flashback Sequence

[Dream Sequence]

Disclaimer: I dont own anything.

At Fort Blitzkrieg

Tala Pov:

Today is the day, Mr. Dickenson is arriving in two hours and it has been a fuss over what this "meeting" is about all day, why he called everyone here…

A feeling of déjà vu and dread has been known to me ever since Mr. Dickenson called me up, something about this entire ordeal just screamed one name… Boris. Although nothing of things reveled to me during these two days, points in that direction I just can't ignore this horrible feeling...

You know what they say… Third times the charm.

Having spent most of my childhood under the orders of that man, I know he would never give up. I'm not the only one who is thinking it, I know Bryan and Ian is, haven't asked Spencer… and Kai is just painfully hard to get anything out of.

I might just be extremely paranoid, maybe Mr. D is coming with good news that only concerns the once in this house, maybe his coming to tell us that Boris has been caught and put behind bars or better! that he is dead… I would love to think so, but my instincts won't let me.

Another thing I don't like about this is that everyone besides me, Ian, Bryan and Spencer seems to know what's going on, even Kai, It's like they are hiding something, which just makes me even more paranoid and everytime I ask, they move around the question or just don't answer at all. It's driving me crazy since it clearly has something to do with me and my team since we were asked to attend as well.

Whatever it is, I suppose I will find out soon enough…

As the day was coming to its end and the sun was slowly disappearing behind the mountains on the horizon, a sleek black car pulled up to the gate of the mansion alerting every occupant of the estate.

In the living room, a large circle shaped table had been prepared, waiting for the arrival of the final guest.

"Now that we are all gathered, I would like to thank the Blitzkrieg Boys for letting us stay here for this meeting" Mr. Dickson began as he as he got seated by the table.

Mr. Dickenson cleared his throat and was about to start when something caught his eye "Tysons my boy? What are you wearing?" the person in question felt his cheeks heat up as a the whole table started to crack up and he stared down at his questionable attire "It's nothing special really, just the latest fashion Mr. D" Max almost lost it but manage to calm himself and regain his posture.

Mr. Dickenson stared at the world champion for a few seconds before disregarding it.

"Well anyway, on to why we are here, Ozuma? Why don't you and tell everyone what you and your team told the Tyson, Max, Ray and Kai? The saint Shield leader looked up at the BBA chairman and then around the table.

"Alright" he said and cleared his throat "For some time now me and The Saint Shields have been traveling a lot, and we happened to be in Australia when this incident occurred, we heard about an unofficial match going down in the town we were passing through at the time, a match between the regional champions and an unknown team who challenged them, we found it strange that a match as big as this one would not be aired on TV"

"We didn't think much about it at the time, and decided to go…"

He suddenly felt silent and all eyes turned to him.

"Then what happened" Bryan sat up in his chair and looked over at the Saint Shield leader.

Ozuma met his gaze "well the match was over quite fast…"

Tala looked questiongly at Mr. Dickenson who just who handed him a folder.

Tala opened it and started to read as the rest of the Blitzkrieg Boys minus Kai gathered around him.

"Killed in battle" Spencer looked up at the chairman with a raised eyebrow "really?"

"Yes I am afraid so…"

"What kind of blader would do something like this?" Ian looked positively mortified at what he had just read

"That is why we are here talking" Mr. Dickenson looked at everyone present at the table "I have reason to believe that this team might be working with Boris, because someone is clearly sponsoring their Beyblading"

Tala narrowed his eyes, looking absolutely furious, with the rest of his team sporting similar expressions.

Which is why we were called here? Tyson suddenly spoke and looked over at Kai, Ray and Max.

"Yes exactly" Mr. Dickenson answered with a loud sigh "and it's also why The Blitzkrieg boys were called, and with the qualifying tournaments coming up, i am fearing for the safety of inexperienced bladers who will be signing up, especially when a regional champion team was beat as badly as they were…

"So what are we going to do?" Ray looked at Mr. Dickenson "it's not like we can just find them..." I mean they could be anywhere"

"What we could do" Max suddenly joined in "is to get every team in the BBA pro league to keep an eye on the qualifiers, that way we will be able to stop them before anything happens, wherever they might show up"

"That is not a bad idea Max" Kai spoke for the first time and gave his former teammate a reassuring nod"

"Indeed" the chairman said and stroked his moustache "unless anyone has any objections?" a few no and headshakes and it was decided.

"What do they even look like" Tyson looked over at the Saint Shield leader "Ozuma?"

"four members, 1 female and three males, The Captain is the one who killed his opponent, he has black hair and is, I would say 19 years old, A male with short dark red hair also about 19… the female is somewhat younger and has blond hair, the last male is the youngest by a few years and has white hair" he finished and looked over at the World Champion "you got all that"

"Yea I think so" he answered and looked at Kenny who had written down their appearance according to Ozuma's description.

"One last thing before we end this meeting, if you happened to run into these bladers do not engage them outside the stadium and do not let them know that you know about them, as much as I would love to I cannot keep them from participating since we do not have any way of proving that what happened was intentional even if we know that it was" Mr. Dickenson himself did not seem happy about his own words or this situation he was put in as the chairman of the BBA.

"Are you kidding me?" Mariam shrieked and startled the entire table "we are just going to let them play after what they did!?"

"There is no legal way of keeping them from competing" Kai spoke "we have no choice"

"Kai is right sis" Joseph said and looked at his sister "our hands are tied"

"But we can still crush them in the dish right?" Daichi asked and looked hopeful.

"Daichi my boy" Mr. Dickenson looked down at the hyper redhead with a serious look on his face "I might not able to keep them from playing regardless of how much I want to. But what I can do, is rule out anything that happens to their blades as non-intentional, Do what you have to do"

Mr. Dickenson finished by putting his papers including the document he handed Tala back in this bag and stood up.

"I have to go now, other matters to attend, but I will see you kids before the tournament… take care"

With a final goodbye the BBA chairman left the mansion and drove off into the fast approaching night.

The living room was soon cleared with everyone going their separate ways doing whatever until they settled in for the night.

Tyson Pov:

Another year, another champion ship, another group trying to ruin things like every god damn year… and even Boris might be back again... this just keeps getting better and better…

"Hey Tyson? You in here?"

Hilary opened the door to the room Tyson shared with Kenny and Daichi and found the BBA star laying on his bed staring at his beyblade, something he did a lot when he was thinking.

"In here" he called out as she closed the door behind her. Tyson never tore his gaze from his beyblade put a few light footsteps and some added weight to bed told him that she was beside him.

"What are you thinking about?" she asked.

He kept his gaze on fixed on his blade but answered nonetheless. "A lot of things actually"

He sat up and placed his beyblade on the nightstand and shifted his position to sit next to her, failing to catch the slight blush from the brunette as a result of this action.

"How much do you know about my first year with the Bladebreakers?"

"Not that much" she answered trying to recall everything she had been told "I know you met Max and Ray's team that year as well as the Majestics and had to defeat Boris to save the world."

"Right" his answer was short and quick telling her that it wasn't all he was going for with the question.

"It's just that… I have won two more titles since then and everytime there has always been someone who has either tried to take over the world, take our bit beasts or straight up ruin the sport itself and I am sick and tired of it"

She nodded along to his words. "Of course you are, I mean who wouldn't be?"

"And even if we prevailed everytime and won, it was always way to close for comfort and I am worried that this time we might not win…" he looked up at for the first time since he they started talking.

"Why makes you say that?"

"Because of what Ozuma told me before we left, this is the first time I am legitimately scared of facing someone, trough out all of my battles my focus has always been on the well-being of Dragoon and my beyblade, I have never really had to fear for my own life, but if what Ozuma said is true that might not be the case with this guy"

When she didn't answer and just stared at him with pain in her eyes, his gaze dropped to the floor and stayed there until she pulled him in to a hug "whatever happens, you will always have us there by your side" He felt a warm feeling of happiness wash over him along with something else… something he couldn't quite put his finger on…

It was early in the morning, two days since the meeting and now everyone was getting ready to leave. The entrance hall was stacked with suitcases and various belongings. A BBA bus had arrived about an hour earlier and was now waiting patiently by the gate.

Saying their goodbyes everyone started piling out of mansion, down the snowy path. Each and every one carrying as much they could, loading everything onto they bus took its time, but eventually they could leave.

"Glad that's over with" Bryan muttered as he closed the front door when the bus took of down the road

The rest of team nodded in silent agreement with exception of Kai who was not there. Retreating to living room they all gathered around the table.

It was quiet, no one said anything. The atmosphere was thick with tension before Tala spoke breaking the silence "I think it's pretty obvious what we have to do" his tone was cold and harsh "You all heard what Mr. Dickenson said, If Boris is really back again we have to find him and end to him once and for all.

"We do it outside the stadium away from the public eye and no one will ever find out… It started with us and it will end with us" he looked around the room at his team "no more pain, no more nightmares, this is not just about revenge it's about closure"

No one answered, but no one disagreed…

The only promise I'm going to make from now on, is that I will finish this story if it so is the last thing I ever do, I don't how long it's going to take but it will be completed, I guarantee it.

The Psychics (Kane, Salima, Jim and Goki) will have the cyber bit beasts in this story, I know they lost them after the battle tower tournament but it will a lot more fun if they have them.

Please review if you feel like it (I would love it if you reviewed, but the story will continue regardless) and I will update once I'm done with the next chapter.
