My replies to questions in the reviews or something like that:

Iridescent Wind – I don't mind critiques, I really WANT them. No one does that lately, but not that I mind either. I didn't realize the 'is' and 'are' because I wasn't really paying attention to them. I will try to see if I can fix that problem… nervous laugh Let's see… Ever since I started to put my story up, I update my story kinda fast because I spend almost half of the day at home typing them. I probably won't be updating fast when school comes. I'm starting school next week, which is rather early, so I'm depress that I won't be spending a lot of time writing my story when school starts. (Sorry if you have to read all the way down here.) Oh yeah and two more things to say… good luck on your degree in Veterinary Technology! And thank you for reading.

I Love Beyblade

Chapter 4 – Strange Phenomenon

The men in white clothes all stood on the cliff, watching as the falcon flew out of their sights. "I thought the Empty Hearts took care Bryan and his friends four months ago," the man with dark brown hair and gray eyes glared. He looked at the other men. "Contact Mr. Sandstorm about the Blitzkrieg Boys."

"Yes, sir Goldman." One of them nodded and dialed on the cell phone.

"What about the house on the shore?" Goldman looked at the other men.

One of the men with the gun shook his head. "I got a call that someone had destroyed the house before they even got there, sir Goldman," he reported. "But we captured a woman, named Eve, who have owned the house as planned."

"I see…" Goldman looked back at the ocean, narrowing his eyes. "Miss Volt won't be pleased about this, but at the very least we have Eve."

Falborg slowly flapped its wings and looked for a wide area to land. Kai had helped Ruby to stop from bleeding a while ago. She had a white cloth around where the bullet hit her, the cloth is from Kai's scarf which he had tore off. Falborg dropped them to the ground when they were about a yard from ground. Around them were some trees and a wide are of the grass.

Bryan jumped off of Falborg and smoothed its feather wing. "Thanks, Falborg" he grinned. He looked back at Kai and Ruby with an angry look. "You two should thank Falborg too."

Kai glared at him, still shock to see a bit beast as solid as a real thing. "You…" he trailed off when Ruby ran up to the falcon.

"Thank you," she patted on Falborg's belly. She looked at Bryan. "What's your name? Bryan, was it? And this is Fal… what?"

"Falborg," Bryan said, glaring. She acted like she had known Falborg long than him when she patted on the falcon. "You better remember it, girl." He back looked at Kai, who still had the same confuse and angry expression. "What's up with that look?" Bryan grinned.

Kai rubbed his forehead, closing his eyes. "Why is Falborg…?" he started. He opened his eyes and pointed at the falcon. "What is that?"

"It's Falborg, dumbass," Bryan said.

"No, that's not what I meant," Kai glared. "If it really is Falborg, then why is it not in a spirit form… or something. What's going on?"

"Some bit beasts around the world are like spirit summons now, Kai," another familiar voice said.

Everyone turned around and saw Tala, along with Spencer, walking up to the group. Kai feel more confused and glared at Tala. He walked up to him. "How did it happen?" Kai asked, demanding an answer. "I need an explanation for this."

"Heck, who cares!" Bryan grinned, patting on Falborg's head. "All I know is that I can feel my Falborg! Haha!"

"Haven't see you in a while, Kai," Tala smirked. "You left without a word five months ago. Where did you go?"

Kai looked at him, annoyed. "Forget about that! Why is Falborg like that?"

Ruby walked beside Kai and looked at Tala. "What's your name?" she asked.

Kai pushed her face away. "Now's not time, Ruby," he told her.

"I'm Tala," he said. Kai glared at him.

She nodded and looked at Spencer. "And yours?"

"…Spencer," he crossed his arms.

"There, introduction's over," she elbow Kai in the stomach. She walked away to let the guys talk about their stuff. She sat on the ground beside Falborg and took equipments out of her pockets to take out the bullet out of her right arm. Her eye had stop earlier too.

Kai is still glaring at Tala and Tala just smirked. "What are you so angry about, Kai?" he asked.

"You said, the bit beasts around the world are like spirit summons," Kai said. "What did you mean by that? What do you know about this?"

Tala shrugged, "Not all bit beasts, Kai. I said some, but I'm not sure myself. All I know right now to be able to summon your bit beast you must make a pact with them."

Bryan snorted. "Which I find sort of stupid because our bit beasts doesn't want us to cause trouble to anyone who is innocent," Bryan said. "We're supposed to act the good guys while we're being able to summon them. So now who ever pisses me off, I have to ask Falborg if I can slice them up with wind."

"It's one strange phenomenon," Tala said, looking at Falborg. "It seems the bit beasts are reaching to another different stage. A new evolution maybe. That's all I can really say."

Kai's eyes turned to Falborg. "That wasn't much of an explanation, Tala," he said.

"I know," Tala smirked.

"Look on the bright side," Ruby said, poking a silver picker into her arm where the wound hole is. "It's like what you see in fantasy movies or something. I think it's cool."

"No, it's not," Kai said. "It's very strange." He looked at Falborg again. Very strange and it just did not feel normal at all. "Where are your beyblades then?" he looked at the guys.

"They were destroyed when a group of beybladers attacked us about four months ago," Spencer told him. Ruby pulled the bullet out and threw it beside her. She tried to put the white cloth back on with one hand. Spencer walked to her and kneeled down. He grabbed the cloth and tied it tightly around her arm. "Tight enough?" he asked.

Ruby shook her head no. "A little more," she said. He tightens a bit more. She nodded, "That's good. Thanks, Spencer." He nodded at her and stood up back to get back into the conversation. Ruby whimpered, her arm is hurting her like hell when he really tightened it up.

"Why don't you call out your Dranzer, Kai?" Bryan grinned. "If you call it out, you'll see how awesome it is."

Kai glared at him. "No way."

Tala looked at Kai, knowing what Kai might be feeling right now. Beyblade holds over Kai's life after all. If the bit beasts did reach to another stage, blading would no longer be needed. "Kai, come back to reality," Tala said. "Beyblade is banned from the world, remember? We will make our own rules and fight with our bit beasts in a different way, if you want to continued to fight along with your Dranzer, that is."

"I'm not going to fly around with Dranzer when it is not necessary," Kai said. "Not like what Bryan did."

Bryan laughed. "I did that to save your ass. Isn't that right, Falborg?" It nodded. "Besides, if I didn't have a good reason to call Falborg out, it wouldn't have come and save you and your girl."

"My what?" Kai sharply turned to him with a glare.

"Me," Ruby pointed to herself. "I'm the only girl after all, duh!"

Kai looked at her, thinking that she is really stupid. "Where are you originally from anyway?" he just had to ask.

She chuckled, "…I don't remember." She cleaned the blood her equipment on her sleeve and put it back in her pocket. She stood up, half smiling. "If you boys are done talking, can you guys take me to Japan?"

"No," Bryan answered right away. Ruby looked at him, pouting a little.

Kai had almost forgotten that he wanted to get to Japan as soon as possible. He looked at Bryan, "Take me to Japan also, Bryan. I have something to do there."

Bryan looked at Kai, thinking for a moment. "Fine," he said.

"By the way, where are we?" Ruby asked.

"South Korea," Spencer said. He turned to Kai. "Are you heading to see Tyson in Japan?"

Kai nodded. "You guys remembered, I could not contact any of my teammates from the G-Revolution, right? I wanted to see if they're okay."

"Maybe not," Tala said.

"Why do you think that?" Kai asked him.

Tala rubbed his chin, sighing a bit. "Spencer, Bryan, and I were not okay when we were unexpectedly attacked that day, four months ago. I highly doubt Tyson and his friends in Japan were any safer than we are. I remember eavesdropping when we were battling and they said something about Dragoon."

"How did you escape after being attacked?" Kai inquired.

"Our bit beast protected us," Tala replied.

"Hell yeah," Bryan patted on Falborg, smiling proudly.

"Then Falborg took us here," Tala said. "We've been other places too. Bryan did all the stealing-the-food-from-the-city with Falborg."

Ruby laughed, "How did you get Falborg to do that, Bryan? I thought you guys were supposed to be the good guys."

Bryan lightly glared at her. "That's none of your business," he said.

She pouted at him, but then gave him a wide smile. "I bet you dressed in black and also dressed your Falborg in black and storm into the stores…"

"We did not!" he shouted angrily at her.

Spencer had one question in mind and asked, "How are we supposed to know where Japan is?"

"I have a compass," Ruby said.

Kai slightly smile in surprised. "What else do you have in that jacket of yours?"

"Um…" she paused. "A girl thing and some other stuff you don't have to know about."

Tala crossed his arms. "We should get going then." He turned his head behind him. "Wolborg…" he called. The warm air instantly turned cold and a bright light glowed behind Tala. The wolf walked out of the light and the grass it stepped on turned into frost. It gazed at Tala and the others. The wolf is about the same size as Falborg, but a little shorter. Tala looked back at everyone. "Who wants a ride on Wolborg with me?"

Ruby smiled brightly, enjoying her view from the skies. She is being held by Falborg's claw again and in the other claw is Kai's motocycle. Spencer is riding with Bryan on Falborg and Kai is sitting with Tala on Wolborg.

"Let's go higher, Falborg!" Bryan shouted out with a grin. Falborg did as it was told and went up high closer to the clouds.

Ruby held onto the claw, just in case she falls off even though Falborg is already doing a good job of holding her. She stared down at Wolborg, who is running right under them. "Yeah… so if I fall, they'll catch me… probably," she smiled nervously.

Tala sighed about Bryan but he did not mind if the others flew a little higher. As long as they do not go astray and just keep moving forward it would not be a problem if they played around a little. "So, how did you meet that girl?" he glanced at Kai who is sitting behind him.

Kai silently mumbled. He remembered his first encounter with her and the kiss. "I was ended up being use by her from the very beginning and I got myself involve with her after that. Then after that, we decided to trust each other and get to Japan together…" They will be parting ways when they get there too. Kai probably will not be seeing her after this.

"Oh really?" Tala smirked. "So nothing special happen between the two of you, huh?"

"What do you mean?"

"Exactly what it sounds like," Tala said, half smiling.

Kai sighed, "Don't be stupid, Tala."

"But I'm not."

"Shut up."

Tala smirked, "Too bad. I don't want to."
