Arc 3: The Game Arc
School finals are done and I have a whole summer to write fan fiction. Enjoy
Kai pulled his convertible into the parking lot with Tala in the passenger seat. They got out and walked to the front entrance of the beyblade stadium where Hilary, Daichi, and Kenny were waiting for them.
"Haven't been here in a while," Tala stated looking up at the entrance.
"Brings back old memories," Hilary agreed. The door opened and some men in blue janitor uniforms walked out and passed the group.
"The regular Beyblade matches are starting up in a few days so the only people here right now will be the cleaning crew," Kenny said.
"Hmph," The captain mumbled in understanding and leaned against the wall. A green car pulled into the parking lot and parked. Max stepped out and walked over to the group.
"Sorry guys Rei's flight back to China was delayed. Are we ready for this?" The blond asked and the group walked inside. Once they entered the middle of the stadium they looked around.
"So where is he?" Daichi asked impatiently.
"Hello my friends," They all heard and turned around.
"Romero you're late," Kai said folding his arms over his chest.
"I do apologize but I had trouble getting away from the girls at the bar," he said happily and walked over to the group. Hilary sighed and looked over at Kai.
"Why are we asking a perv like Romero to help us?" she asked.
"Because he helped me once before and he's said he would help us," he said quickly and shook Romero's hand.
"So you would like to know how to play a fusion game huh, your brave to start so soon after your ordeal," he laughed. "Anyway the object of the game is to defeat the other team's king or in some cases queen by destroying the crystal on their chest. You can only have four members on the field and while three of you can play whatever position you want one of you must play the position of king."
"It almost sounds like chess," Kenny said in surprise.
"I call offense!" Daichi cheered and was hit on the head by Hilary who shushed him to be quiet.
"Yes well as I was saying," Romero coughed. "You can use any weapons or elements you have when you're in your fusion form including the elements around you. Before each game the field you play on will be picked at random so if you're lucky enough it will work to your advantage. While the object of the game is to destroy the King's crystal you can try and destroy other member's crystals and once they de-fuse you can't attack them or you will be disqualified got that?" Romero said looking specifically at the Daichi.
"Yeah, yeah can we get started now?" He asked impatiently and once Romero nodded Daichi fused with Strata Dragoon before anyone can blink. A few minutes later after everyone fused and Kenny took a seat with Hilary on the bleachers as Romero showed everyone where to stand.
"Now those who play offense have to take a stand in the middle facing the opposing team," he said. Kai and Daichi stood in the middle and behind them stood Max with his hands on his hips. Behind him Tala stood in the middle of a small white circle. "Now the King which is you Tala can defend yourself in any way you like just as long as you stay in that circle understand?" Romero shouted over to the Wolborg fused Tala who nodded in understanding.
"Are you guys sure we want to do this?" Hilary asked standing from the bench.
"Why wouldn't we?" Daichi questioned.
"Well if we do the regular Beyblade championships then it would almost be like we are the returning champions but if we do the fusion games we're going to be the rookies, staring all over again when most of the competitors have been playing for a few years already."
"I don't see the problem with that," Daichi said. "I joined the beyblade championships way after all of you and I won that year."
"That's because you had Tyson you little monkey!" Tala called out from his circle and Daichi stuck out his tongue at the red head.
"I say we go for it," Max said. "No one thought we could win when we first started all those years ago so I say we prove them wrong all over again."
"He's got a point Hil," Tala called out to his girlfriend. The brown haired girl sighed and sat back down.
"Are you ready for your first practice?" Romero asked and the four guys looked at each other and nodded. Romero nodded as well and whistled. Four gorgeous looking girls came out taking their places on the other side of the field and everyone looked at Romero.
"I didn't say that I went to the bar just to be around the ladies. These girls here aren't competing but they said they would give you a practice match if I take them out to dinner tonight." Romero boasted and everyone sighed before getting ready to begin.
*That night*
Kai half walked and half limped into the nice Italian restaurant. He looked around and found Tyson at a table looking at a menu and sipping on a glass of water. The two tone haired man pulled on his jacket to even it out and walked over to the table. Pulling out his chair Tyson looked up and smiled.
"How did practice go?" He asked and Kai Hmphed causing Tyson to laugh.
"Yeah I was a little soar the first time I played. It's tougher than it looks."
Kai rolled his eyes and when the waiter came over he ordered himself a glass a wine and dinner. He rubbed the back of his neck and tried to get the knots out. He must have got slammed onto the ground a million times and out of the seven games his team played they only won twice. How were they going to compete with the rest of the competitors?
"Kai you have that look on your face," Tyson said in concern. Kai looked at his boyfriend and cocked his eyebrow.
"What look?"
"The look you always get when you doubt yourself. I think you guys made the right chose to join the fusion games and this way I get to beat your butt again. I totally miss that," Tyson laughed. Kai smiled slightly and he sat in silents for the rest of the dinner listening to Tyson ramble on about past games.
*The Fusion games 3 weeks later*
"Welcome bladers of all Ages!" DJ Jazzman spoke into the mike and everyone waiting on line for sign ups looked over to the ref. "It's time to sign up for the fifth fusion championships!"He cried out causing everyone to cheer.
"Remember you can only sign up for Fusion if you can easily fuse with your bit beast within three seconds of your launch so those that are new to the games be ready to show the judges that you can do that!"
Kai waited against the wall and watched Max pace back and forth in anticipation.
"He's late how could he be late!" He cried out.
"Daichi will be here Max calm down," Kenny tried to reassure him.
"Hey guys," Tyson called out and got in line behind them. "Where's Daichi?"
"He's late what else is new," Hilary stated. Finally Daichi ran up to them and collapsed to the ground.
"What took you so long?" Max asked.
"Sorry, sorry my alarm clock didn't go off."
"Oh please you probably hit snooze like ten times," Tyson laughed and Tala held Daichi as the small teen tried to tackle Tyson. Kai glared as Kira walked up behind Tyson with Lily, Brooklyn and Hiro.
"Brooklyn, Hiro what are you guys doing here?" Hilary asked giving the two of them a hug.
"I've been part of the BBA Revolution for the past two years with Tyson, Kira, and Lily," Brooklyn stated.
"Oh no!" Max said slapping his head.
"What?" Kenny asked in worry.
"We've been so busy with getting ready we didn't even give ourselves a name."
"Ah dame he's right," Tala agreed.
"Well you guys might want to come up with one soon because your next," Lily said nodding to the front of the line.
"Next," A woman said and the group didn't move. Tyson sighed and said good luck as he pushed Max forward almost causing his friend to bang into the table. The group followed Max and when they looked back to Tyson for help another judge called them forward and Tyson gave them a thumbs up and his team walked over to the other table.
"Who's the official team captain," She said in a monotone voice and Kai moved in front of her.
"I am."
"I need the names of your primary players, substitute players and your bit beasts names and powers." She said and Kai told her all the information she need. A few minutes later she had the person standing behind her bring each of them behind a wall to show they could fuse within three seconds and she handed them each badges showing that they are allowed to participate.
"I just need the name of your team and you'll be all set to go," she said placing her pen on the page filled with other participating teams. Hilary, Daichi, Max, Tala and Kenny looked at each other and then they all looked at Kai for an answer.
"Sir your teams name please."
"The Blade Beakers," He stated his eyes bearing down at the judge who looked up at him in surprise but wrote down the name none the same. The group smiled at the nostalgia of the name and they took their badges and walked into the back of the arena. Looking around there were hundreds of people getting ready for the elimination rounds. A man with a head set on and a clip board stood on a chair and picked up a megaphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen the games are about to start. There will be two games at a time and when I call your team's name you go to either slot A or slot B. Only six teams will move on from the elimination games and move on to the next stage. First up are Teams Dancing Blades and Demolish in slot A and in Slot B will be teams Ran and Spirit X. Your fighting in about twenty minutes so be ready."
Max eyes widen when he heard Rei's team name of Spirit X being called and looked around for his boyfriend.
"Behind you," he heard and Max turned around and hugged the Chinese bladder.
"How was China," he asked.
"It was fine but man Mariah worked me like a dog," Rei laughed and Mariah came up behind him.
"Mariah!" Hilary yelled and the two girls hugged tightly.
"I wasn't that bad," Mariah responded to Rei's earlier statement in her pink top and white jean shorts. Mystel stood next to her and bowed slightly and Lee came up behind them.
"Lee!" Max said in surprise. "You're on their team?" He asked.
"Yeah, Mariah taught me everything when I got back to China and they said I was good enough to join."
"But what about Jessica and Chris," Kenny asked
"Chris is going to be our substitute and he's getting some water bottles and Jessica isn't participating this year. She's guarding."
"Guarding?"
"Yeah with this many bit beasts being unleashed and so many potential partners it's bound to bring one or two rouges every once and awhile. Jessica volunteered to be a guard this year but next year she'll probably participate."
"Time for the first matches so we need the first teams to the field and we need the Blade Breakers and the Dynamic Four on deck for slot A and Maggie's team and The Ghouls on deck for slot B." The man said and Max and Rei hugged good bye. Taking a seat in the crowed Max watched as Rei and Mariah took the front with Mystel behind them and Lee in the Kings circle. On the other side there was three guys and a girl as there queen.
"Welcome to another Fusion game I'm Brad Best."
"And I'm AJ Topper bringing you live footage of the games. The first elimination match is about to begin so sit back and get ready to watch people get their butts kicked."
DJ Jazzman stood in the middle of the stadium that split the two games that were about to begin in half and held his hand up. "Bladers at the ready," he cheered and the bladers had their blades out and ready to shoot.
"3, 2, 1 Let it rip!" everyone shouted and the first two games begun.
I wanted to show the games but that will have to wait until the next chapter. There's a whole lot of teams and I can't describe everyone in there fusion form but I promise it will be soon.
