Chapter 4: Jin Naito
"Alright beybladers! Welcome to the local beyblade tournament in sunny Connecticut, hosted by Burger King, who reminds you to have it your way! And now lets hear it for our sponsors, who have-" DJ Jasman rambled on as I finished polishing up my string launcher. I put it back into it's pouch and threw out the dirty rag. Alright, I thought, it's time to take this tournament by storm. I walked out of the lockers and up to the bey dish. Or fire, as it were. I was so impressed that this bey was actually legal, seeing as more than half of it's parts were 1 of a kind and never invented before. I took my launch position. "And in this corner," announced Jasman, "We have a great blader, whose skills are known throughout the town, iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's Ethan Nightly!" The crowd went nuts, cheering my name over and over. I couldn't resist giving a friendly wave. "And on the other side, we have a complete unknown, whose journeyed a long way to get here, iiiiiiiiiit's Jin Naito! Remember folks, the name of this tournament is double elimination round robin!" The crowd gasped as this Jin character walked up to the stadium. His jacket and jeans were worn in and his spiky hair waved in front of his face. He pulled out his black launcher and bey, which looked different. It seemed that he was using unprecedented pieces as well! He smiled, like he knew something. I stood my ground and attached my bey to my launcher. Dranzer glowed red. "C'mon!" I said. "If you insist." He replied, gripping his string launcher. "Ok, it looks like our two competitors have done their trash talking and are ready to get down to business!" Jasman began the countdown. "3! 2! 1! Let it riiiiip!" "Yahh!" I shouted, pulling my launcher so hard I almost dropped it. The recoil from Dranzers launch pulled me back a few feet, but I landed standing up. "I'm ok!" I yelled, still recovering from the launch. I looked down into the stadium and saw Dranzer going around in a circle. Good, I thought. I'm not out yet. "I'm not out yet!" I said, and Dranzer went on the attack. "Yah, nice try." Jin said, looking too relaxed. "Wha-" I started, but just as i did his blade pushed Dranzer back. "So you're a defensive blader!" I said. He laughed. "Wrong, I just used attack power to act as a defensive type!" His blade smashed Dranzer. "Now!" He commanded. "Special move Gash Orion! Octane Gash!" "What?" I said. "Gash Orion? Octane Gash?" Just then orion began to glow in a white energy, then hit Dranzer vertically upwards. "No! Dranzer! Quick! Come back down!" He obeyed, but "Perfect, you played right into my hands." I gasped, as Orion hit Dranzer back up into space. "Nooo!" I screamed, but it was no use. Dranzer landed outside of the stadium. I had lost.
Review guys! It's your patriotic duty!
