Chapter 1

A new path

For the record I don't own the Beyblade franchise. This is just for your entertainment.

Jakku Mackson was just starting the second grade at his school Rando Public School. It was a shame coming back to school after the holidays. After all, what beats the holidays? Accept one thing happened that holidays that changed Jakku's life. His Grandfather had passed away. It was so sad. Jakku idolised him. He looked up to him and he would always pick him up by the gates after school. But Jakku made the decision to not think about him. He needed to focus and get in the zone and prepare for the coming year of learning. Jakku walked through the front gates of the school and saw some of his friends everywhere. Some were reading, some were playing and some were just heaving their heavy bags around.

The bell soon rang and after some boring lessons about...something Jakku went outside onto the playground for recess. This was where the fun began. No work, just play. He went over to a tall tree where last year he would meet his friends usually. By none of them where going there. Instead he saw all of his friends running to the undercover area. Some of them where holding big bags with something square inside of them. Some of them were holding some sort of handle thingy with a jagged cord sticking out of it and something that looked like a small handheld gaming console on the end. Jakku went up to his friend Makkusu Hamedo. He had short, blonde hair and somewhat pale skin and freckles. He was wearing the same school uniform as Jakku. It was a light green polo shirt colour with black shorts and a black jacket. People often told Jakku he looked like Makkusu. Come to think of it they had similar names as well. "Where is everyone going?" Asked Jakku. "You don't know where they're going?" Asked Makkusu.

"No."

"Trust me you wanna see this!"

With that Makkusu ran off to the under cover area with Jakku following close behind.

Once they reached the undercover area Jakku heard the words "3, 2, 1. Let it Rip!" Being yelled. He then heard two heavy objects land on something hard and plasticky. He then heard the clashing and clanging of metal. He turned the corner and saw many kids gathered around some sort of plastic bowl. He was then given a fright as he saw sparks fly out of the bowl. Jakku was intrigued by this and ran over to the bowl. Two spinning tops were hitting each other in the bowl. They moved at high speeds gracefully and then suddenly would fly into the middle and clash. They weren't normal spinning tops though. They were made of metal and had a hexagonal thing holding what appeared to be five different parts of the top together. They then flew into the middle and started grinding against each other sending sparks flying. Makkusu came up to Jakku. "Welcome to Beyblade Jakku."

"What's Beyblade?" Asked Jakku.

"Beyblade is a spinning top battle game. You have a top made of five pieces: The Face Bolt, The Energy Ring, The fusion Wheel, The Spin Track and the Performance Tip. Basically you launch them in the stadium until one of them stops spinning or one of them flies out the stadium. The one still spinning wins!" Said Makkusu.

Jakku then heard a familiar voice. "Finish him off Cyber Wolf!". One of the Beyblades flew towards the other and it flew out of the stadium in spectacular fashion.

Jakku looked to see who owned the Cyber Wolf Beyblade. They Beyblade then jumped into the air and landed into the hands of Jakku's friend Pīto. He had Olive skin and dark hair and wore the same uniform as Jakku and Makkusu. However he didn't wear the jacket and he had a rip on the left leg of the shorts. He turned around. "Hi guys," said Pīto. "Hey Pīto," replied Jakku. "I see you like Beyblade as well."

"Yeah, I'm aiming for the top with my Cyber Wolf T125ES."

Pīto held out his hand with his Beyblade in it. It had a black energy ring with a red face bolt. The face bolt appeared to depict a wolf. It's fusion wheel had 3 blades on it. It was quite amazing.

"Do you Beyblade Makkusu?" Asked Jakku. "Yeah this is my Rock Byxis Df145DS," he replied. Makkusu's Beyblade was equally amazing. It's energy ring was a turquoise colour and the Face Bolt was a transparent red colour and the fusion wheel was almost completely round. Jakku looked at Pīto. His Cyber Wolf Beyblade was still in his hand. It was almost as if Wolf was speaking to Jakku. "Come. Use me in battle," it said to him. "Pīto?" Asked Jakku.

"Yeah?"

"Can I have a go?"

"At what?"

"Beyblading, with your Cyber Wolf."

Pīto hesitated for a bit then replied. "Yes."

"Ok Jakku, remember...don't lose because I got 50 Beypoints that last battle and I don't wanna lose them again!" Said Pīto nervously. "What are Beypoints?" Replied Jakku. Makkusu was about to explain it but the kids surrounding the bey stadium were already counting down. "3, 2, 1. Let it rip!"

Jakku launched his Beyblade into the stadium and Cyber Wolf and the other Beyblade started to dance around each other. Jakku waited for something to happen. Suddenly the opponent started delivering a destructive series of barrage attacks. Jakku watched in surprise as Wolf was being tossed around like a leaf in a cyclone. Finally the series of barrage attacks ended and Wolf landed in the centre of the stadium. Wolf had lost half its rotation speed and was wobbling by now and the other Beyblade circled around Wolf like and Eagle hunting for its pray. "What are you doing? Fight back!" Yelled Pīto.

"But how?"

"Connect with it! Take control."

Jakku had no time to reply as the other Beyblade zoomed towards the vulnerable Cyber Wolf at terrifying speeds. If Jakku didn't counter this move this battle was over. Time then seemed to slow down. It was like the universe was giving time for Jakku to think. Jakku focused very hard. He was thinking about the Beyblade. Focusing only on Cyber Wolf. His eyes were closed and then he felt it. Even though Cyber Wolf didn't belong to him he still made a connection with Wolf. How was he doing this? How could he take control of a tiny little insignificant spinning top? However he sensed amazing power inside this spinning top. He connected with it. He opened his eyes and was back in the game. "Go now!" He yelled. Wolf flew towards the other Beyblade and the two were grinding against each other. Sparks flew everywhere as the two metal warriors clashed. Wolf started pushing the the Beyblade back and it bounced into the air. A read aura appeared around Wolf and it sped up the stadium bounced into the air and went upside down and knocked the other Beyblade out of the stadium and it flew into a nearby brick wall and crashed into. It now seemed as the Beyblade was part of the wall.

The owner of the other Beyblade looked on in astonishment and ran after his Beyblade. Cyber Wolf flew back into Jakku's hand and he turned to Pīto. "Thanks dude! That was a blast," said Jakku. "How did you do that?" Yelled Makkusu. "That was amazing!" Yelled Pīto. "I dunno. Though one things for certain. I gotta get me one of those Beyblades!" Replied Jakku.

Later Jakku was walking home from school. He decided he would pay a visit to the shops to see if he could find a Beyblade. He was excited to buy one. He would rock up to school tomorrow with a brand new Beyblade and wipe the floor with everyone. However on the way to the shops he passed the cemetery where his Grandfather was buried. Maybe he should pay a visit to him. Tell him about his exciting first day of year 2. So he went into the cemetery and sat down by his Grandpa's resting place and began to talk to him. He told him all about his first day and how he had discovered Beyblade. Suddenly the grave began to glow a bright green colour. Jakku backed away from the grave. He was so scared that he couldn't move and he wanted to cry. But he couldn't. He was a big boy now. The green light shine so bright all Jakku could see was green. Then a ghost like creature flew into the air over Jakku. It was the same colour as the light. Suddenly the ghost like creature just turned into a streak of light as it flew through the air. Then it headed towards the ground. The light the disappeared and Jakku saw the streak of light becoming a part of what appeared to be a light green flame. It burned away softly on the ground. It was quite beautiful and Jakku had never seen anything like it apart from the red aura around Cyber Wolf that day during that battle. Jakku looked closely at the flame. There was something movie inside the flame. Could it be? A Beyblade? It was. The flame disappeared and Jakku saw the Beyblade that had been spinning inside of it. Before he could examine it closer it jumped into the air and into Jakku's hand.

Jakku looked at the Beyblade. It had an almost perfectly round Fusion Wheel and a bright green Energy Ring. It had a red Face Bolt with an orange sticker on it. It depicted the ghost like create on it and in big bold letters under the ghost it said LIBRA. Jakku didn't know what to think. It appeared as if his wish had been granted.
