An unexpected announcement

The next morning Mr. Dickenson asked Kenny for his assessment of how long it would take to repair Dranzer and Driger, the young man confirmed that he would have them ready in 3 weeks, the old man saw the perfect time to finish something he was up to. In those weeks they returned to their normal lives, Tyson and Daichi fighting in the dojo, Hilary was not there, she had gone on a trip with Julia, Emily and Mariah. Max had invited Mariam to the USA, Team Physick went to Ray's town to give talks and workshops to the little ones.
.
Undoubtedly Kai was the most affected, without Dranzer his grandfather forced him to soak in the company's activities, Suki helped him with some things. The day after Kai and Ray received their blades, the BBA announced that they wanted to hold a small event, and that they would have the best bladers present.
—it's time for lunch, guys —said Grandpa.
—why do they want everyone if only four are going to participate —Daichi wondered as he ate rice.
—I have no idea, but Mr. Dickenson is up to something —Tyson poured himself more soup —I just hope the food is worth it hahaha.
—whatever it is it will definitely be worth going —Kenny was also eating lunch with them —everyone is excited about the final part of this special tournament.
—Having lunch without me? —Hilary appeared by surprise sliding the door of the room —the aroma of grandpa's food is always the best of all —she said while licking her lips.
—Hilary, when did you get back! —Kenny asked her, happy to see her.
—last night, it feels good to finally be home —Grandpa offered her a bowl of soup and she sat down next to Daichi.
—I'm glad to see you, I missed you —said Tyson.
—I missed you too Tyson —Hilary smiled.
.
In Russia at first Tala was angry with the sudden arrival of her sister, but he realized that it was no longer necessary to hide her existence, her life was no longer in danger, they could live as normal siblings.
—I feel bad... —Bryan was lying face down on the ground —you can't deprive a human being of water, I'm going to die in a couple of days if you don't let me drink something...
—stop overreacting, I'm doing it for your sake and vodka is nothing like water, if you're thirsty there's plenty in the fridge! —Sakura pulled him by his coat.
—I can't live without vodka —he whispered as if he was running out of soul —Sakura, don't become a mini Pasha, I thought you were coming to save us!.
—hahaha —Spencer was on the sofa laughing at his misery —Sakura gets dizzy with vodka so you should say goodbye to her.
—Tala...help me...
—don't be a little girl Bryan, drink water or soda just get moving —the redhead was watching everything from the living room.
—Where is Ian? —asked Sakura —I haven't seen him all day, in fact now he leaves his room only to eat or when he is forced to train.
—Ian is crying in his room —answered Pasha coming in from jogging —since you hid his Ps4 he doesn't know what to do with his life and he enjoys it a lot.
—too many video games is bad for his health Pasha —Sakura was finally able to get Brian up.
.
It was night time and Mariah was still asleep, she just lay down on her bed and only got up to eat, Ray was playing cards with Salima and Kane outside the house. Salima pulled out a 10 —I hope it's not the implementation of yet another round that will last another three months.
—to bring us all together must be very important —Ray rolled a K —and I won this game.
—Do you really think it's game over? —Kane pulled an Az —I won —you two should practice more, I feel like I'm playing with babies in a maternity ward.
—it's amazing to see how the moon lights up everything Ray, I wish nights were like this everywhere —said Salima —the best artworks are free.
—what a cheesy thing to say.. —Kane whispered and Salima pulled his hair.
.
Mr. Dickenson waited four days, some had things to do, he decided that the meeting would be at 5 p.m. at the BBA headquarters. The first team to arrive were the Bladebrakers, with Tyson and Daichi at the front greeting the thousands that had gathered outside to see them, behind them came Hilary, Kenny and Zeo.
—I know deep down they know that this final round will be the most boring of all because I'm not there! — said Daichi.
—I never get tired of this —Tyson was waving and shaking hands with all the kids who were shouting his name.
.
The second team to arrive were the F Dynasty, Julia and Raul couldn't get enough of greeting and high-fiving their fans, a few minutes later, the Allstars arrived, with Max and Rick in front, accompanied by Emily, Michael and Eddy.
—I hope it's something good to make us come all the way here —said Rick —I'm sick of taking long flights to get two hours of boring talks and no action.
—don't complain dude, they paid for everything, whatever it is, it's always good to be taken into account— answered Max.
.
An hour later the Majestics arrived, then the Russians who surprised everyone by arriving with a strange redhead girl. The four bladers walked in front, behind Sakura and Pasha.
—everyone is looking at Sakura —said Spencer —It must be something shocking to see a girl who transmits vibes of world peace in our midst.
—they're jerks, I can't have girl company! —Bryan cracked his knuckles.
—look who's talking, when it comes to assholes you're number one —Ian whispered wryly.
—just walk and don't get distracted —ordered their leader, Tala.
—I feel a little sorry to see that everyone is looking at us —said Sakura.
—you will get used to it... —Pasha looked to kill anyone who tried to touch them.
.
The Bartez Battalion arrived at the same time as Team BEGA, as did the White Tigers and Team Physik, the last to arrive were the Saint Shield and Kai along with Aki and Suki. They were all waiting in one room, in another was the press. Oliver we will always be indebted to you —Ray took the opportunity to thank him for having defended his friend in Paris, he also thanked the others.
.
Oliver shook hands with him —we are all friends and for the Majestics it is always their duty to defend them from anything.
—you guys should come and visit us —Lee proposed —some fresh air and away from so many spotlights and responsibilities would suit you like a glove.
—sounds good Lee, let us make time in our schedules —Robert checked his tablet —a vacation wouldn't hurt right now.
—some time in the beautiful mountains of China doesn't sound bad at all —Enrique imagined nature —it's time to take a well-deserved break and give someone else the title of the life of the party.
—so you're some kind of robot with superpowers.. —ulia asked in Zeo's ear.
—I am —laughed Zeo —but try to does not said it in that way..
—well, to me you look like a normal guy —Julia touched his cheeks and arms —your skin definitely feels real, and your hair smells as good as mine. Others who were talking were The All Starz and Saint Shield.
—I told you it was nothing —Emily refused to accept a small envelope of money they had collected —it was nothing! —Emily handed the bag back to Mariam.
—why you're like that... —Mariam helplessly put the envelope away —It seems that millionaires enjoy rejecting the little money offered to them by humble people.
—keep that money for another time, my friends —Michael told them —the gestures that come from us come from the heart and they don't need to offer us anything to repay them.
—you guys are talking nonsense, if you want, I will gladly receive it, since I need a new radio to feel cool— Rick proposed and extended his hand.
—yes, of course! —Mariam slapped Rick's hand.
—wow Max!, I never imagined that you liked them rough.
.
Everyone was interrupted to start the meeting in the conference room, in the first rows they seated the bladers, further back the journalists, in front of everyone at the main table was Mr. Dickenson along with the champions, Max, Kai, Ray, Crusher and Tala.
Crusher Kai Dickenson Tala Max Ray
Zeo Tayson Hilary Daichi Kenny Aki Suki
Lee Mariah Gary Kevin Kevin Rick Michael Emily
Eddy Mariam Dunga Joseph Ozuma Julia Raul
Robert Enrique Jhony Oliver Mystel Garland Brooklyn
Pasha Sakura Brian Spencer Ian.
.
—good afternoon everyone, thank you for attending this BBA meeting —said the old man.
—you forced us to come —whispered Pasha.
—as you know, it was said from the beginning that the best four would participate in a final tournament to see who would become the new champion and there are five now because of the event of the final of the Asian tournament.
—we already know, old man, I can't believe we came here just to hear that —Suki whispered.
—this final round won't be a draw format to decide the semifinals keys like the one we've always been used to using.
—finally, something new —said Spencer.
—it will be a kind of little league, everyone against everyone, 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, whoever has the most points will become the champion of champions —concluded the old man and the press went crazy.
—sounds good —said Tyson.
—so there will be no doubt what would have happened if the matches had been different —added Robert —to win you have to beat everyone, that's really exciting.
—and that's why he brought us all the way to Japan —asked Julia indignantly to her brother —no offense, but you could have recorded a statement for the evening news.
—but that's not all — Mr. Dickenson adjusted his seat.
.
Can this be a tournament to choose the best in the world... when the current champion is not participating? before starting this new competition I, all my co-workers and organizers always had the idea that the current world champion should qualify to the final round directly, we would like Tyson to qualify as the three-time world champion, so he will have the opportunity to participate for another title against the best.
.
That's why I called all of you, the BBA is in favor of including Tyson, but who should decide are you, the competitors who dazzle the fans in every tournament with exciting battles.
—obviously you know what I would say —said Kenny —they have all raised their level because they were all pursuing the same goal, to compete against Tyson!.
—I vote yes! —Hilary smiled at him and Daichi looked up at him.
—Daichi, but... you won the championship too, how about you?
—Yes, but you've done it three times, and I'm realistic, I'm not at the level of any of you yet —Daichi dragged his nose —maybe for the next edition.
.
Thanks friend —Tyson shook hands with him, he was living a dream, deep down he was dying to be able to participate in the final round after seeing all those heart-stopping fights.
—why not —said Michael —a beyblade final is not a final if we don't have Tyson's participation.
—we Majestics voted yes —said Robert.
—the Bartez Battalion has no problem with that —said Miquel —we're excited to see him against the best.
—I vote for him to be locked up for being a fool —Suki whispered and Aki held back her laughter —I'm kidding but I do think he's a fool.
—my brother and I don't have a problem with that decision, we think it's the fairest thing to do —said Julia after Kane's yes.
—do what you want —said Pasha —I just want to go home and sleep.
—we say the same thing, we don't care what you want to do —said Ozuma —but the opinions that should have weight are those of the four in front of us.
.
If Tyson enters without a doubt it will be one more mega incentive for us to try our best and personally I want to face him, said Max.
—thank you Max —said Tyson.
—it's fine with me —said Crusher.
—what better way to be the champion by proving that I can beat Tyson again —Kai smiled while looking at him defiantly.
—Kai... —Tyson already saw himself in the tournament.
—I have a score to settle with him, I haven't forgotten about that final —said Tala —I hate to say it but it wouldn't be a tournament of champions without you, so I hope your ego doesn't get a big boost.
—I'm going to kill him after all this —whispered Pasha.
—I trained all this time only thinking about facing Tyson —said Ray with a huge smile —if I had to choose between the championship or a battle against Tyson, without a doubt it would be the second option— concluded the Chinese.
—well, if there is nothing else to say —said Mr. Dickenson standing up —officially Tyson will be the sixth in the tournament.
.
Everyone applauded, Tyson stood up not knowing what face to put on, he felt so grateful, what he had to do now was to thank him by showing why he was the three times world champion.
I know it is the last straw but I also have something to say, I am the champion of Africa and I am happy with that, it is obvious that my level is inferior if we compare it to the others, that's why I want to inform you that I want to give my position to someone who can do it better than me.
—Crusher... —Mystel and Garland didn't expect that.
—come on, say it's me.. —Rick stood up.
—I talked to him before the whole thing started and he agreed to take my place in the final round —Crusher pointed to Brooklyn.
—Brooklyn? —Rick was surprised.
—it was obvious who would take his place —thought Tala.
—I accepted my friend Crusher's request, and I'm not going to let him down —this time Brooklyn had a serious look on his face.
—we cannot force you to participate and there must be someone representing Africa so the BBA accepts your request Crusher —said Mr. Dickenson.
.
In the middle of next year the tournament of champions will start, Tyson will join Kai, Tala, Ray, Brooklyn and Max, thank you very much for attending.
—I don't accept this! —Rick stood up —if that's the way it is, I ask to be allowed to participate too!.
—tell us why you should participate too —asked Pasha.
—because I am the strongest of all in beyblade on physical, besides if Ray can for tying with Kai, I should because I crushed Tala last tournament and he is sitting there!.
—if that's the case I could come in too —said Garland —I defeated him and his friends, no offense guys.
—that wouldn't have happened with me in the team —whispered Ian.
—if that's the case —Tala stood up calling everyone's attention —how about if I propose something to you guys —Tala started to laugh.
.
During the last tournament I admit that I had several issues going through my head, the moment I stepped on the BEGA building, I signed my defeat, the hatred I had for Boris for everything he did to my friends and my sister blinded me completely. Let's have a battle, if you beat me, you will take my place.
—come on, what are we waiting for then,! —Rick pulled Rock Binson out —nothing is going to stop me from participating in the final round!.
—wait for me first and then it'll be your turn! —Garland told him.
—I want you to try to push me out of the way!.
—and how about...both of you at the same time? —Tala smiled —I don't have a problem with that, I need some excitement today.
—you think you're so tough now Tala —Rick frowned —you're going to swallow your words again and I don't want you to cry after humiliating yourself!.
—I'll win here, and you won't have Boris' excuse! —Garland pulled out his pitcher.
—great! —Rick said —just like in the streets, tear your opponent to shreds, that's all you have to do to win the battle —his blood was boiling. Good thing was that one of the journalists turned out to be Dj Jazzman in disguise.
—come on! —said Garland and Rick at the same time.
—Will Tala lose his place in the final tournament, or will he achieve the impossible, let's see in 3, 2, 1 LET IT RIP!.
.
The three blades were thrown into the space between the stage and the front rows. Rock Bison and Apollon attacked Wolborg at the same time.
—they joined forces! —Daichi wondered.
—they want to secure the opportunity to take his place and what better way than playing as a team— answered Tyson.
—if even one of those little blades touches me I'm going to kill you —said Suki.
-if you want my place, you should try harder —Tala defied them, even though his blade was being attacked, he was smiling.
.
The blades passed dangerously under everyone's feet, Hilary had to pick up her legs. Wolborg was surrounded in a corner of the room, Apollon and Rock Bison exerted force on him trying to embed him in the wall.
—it's not fair, it's two against one! —said Daichi —if it keeps going like this I'm going to get in!.
—Tala knew the risk he was taking, but look at his face —the others listened to Ray's opinion and looked at the Russian.
—he is calm —Julia then looked at Rick and he looked tired, he was putting all his energy since the beginning of the fight.
—Garland is sweating —said Mystel.
—I'm going to embed you in the wall, Tala! —you should have stayed in the hole I sent you! —said Rick.
—Wolborg —said Tala loudly, banging on the table and scaring everyone.
.
Wolborg began to freeze the corner of the room and part of the blades he had on top of him, he was able to freeze them in seconds, took both away with a strong blow and began to attack them. He hit Rock Bison three times and Apollon four times. Now he was dodging their combined attacks.
—Tala is making them look like beginners —thought Tyson.
—until when are you going to play Tala! —shouted Pasha drawing the attention of the entire press to such a claim that seemed illogical given the caliber of their opponents.
.
Tala put on such a cold stare that Rick was frightened to see it. Wolborg hit RockBison so hard that he bounced off the ceiling and fell very weak.
—now is our chance Apollon! —Garland wanted to take advantage of the distraction of both but his attack was dodged.
—ROCK BISON, APOLLON! —both attacked with their best technique together.
—both defeated me in the past —whispered Tala —but now things are as they should be, just hearing my name should be enough to not want to compete...NOVAE ROG!.
.
The three collided but Wolborg remained still while Apollon and Rock Bison were shot against the back wall being embedded, both in a small ball of ice.
—TALA WINS the conference room battle and retains his place! —announced Jazzman.
—this is a fucking joke.. —Rick kneeled down and hit the floor —we were two against one and I still lost.
—I lost without even wanting to cause a little scratch on his blade —Garland looked at his embedded blade.
—back to reality guys —Bryan taunted both of them.
—that's what you get for messing with Tala —Spencer was proud of his captain.
—well it was entertaining —Wolborg returned to Tala's hand —Happy Christmas and New Year to all of you —Tala got off the stage to leave to everyone's shock.
—I want you to know that I'm not impressed at all —Kai told him —I'm going to beat you all.
—I'm supposed to be scared? Kai? —you couldn't even beat Ray —Kai frowned —I'm going to beat you and that goes for you too, Max, Brooklyn, Ray and Tyson —Tala left, followed by his team, sister and trainer.
—thanks for coming everyone, this broadcast has been a success with what just happened, there is a huge buffet for everyone outside —Mr. Dickenson walked out.
—I will not miss this opportunity, thank you! —Tyson clenched his fists in excitement.
—Are you okay, buddy —Brooklyn asked Garland.
—yeah, don't worry —Garland smiled slightly —I have no complaints, Tala was better. Emily was going to say something to him, but Michael looked at him and said no.
—I knew Tala would win, but not that easy —thought Daichi —I trained a couple of times with him, so I think I can beat those two too, Hilary covered his mouth so Garland and Rick wouldn't hear.
.
They all left the conference room and went to the buffet, some still surprised by everything that had just happened, and were even more surprised to see that the Russians were already eating at one of the tables, the normal thing to think was that they were on their way to the airport —Daichi —shouted Pasha when he saw him enter —come!, Daichi waved and ran to their table.
—it's been a long time, little guy —said Spencer as he wolfed down 10 chicken wings.
—I told Pasha to call you, I'm Sakura, nice to meet you, she told me you were very disciplined —the red-haired girl smiled at him.
—you're Tala's sister.., how is that possible cause you're a fairy next to your brother's ogre face.
.
Brian, Spencer and Ian spat out their food because of the fit of laughter they got, Pasha hid her faint smile with her napkin —I have something for you —Sakura took out a handkerchief that Daichi forgot in the Russian's house.
—thank you, my lucky handkerchief! —Daichi made a deadly one.
—be careful with those turns Daichi —Garland appeared behind him with his companions.
—BEGA! —Daichi was surprised.
—well, look who's here —Bryan stopped eating —What's with your stinky company?
—you're coming for revenge Garland —Spencer asked him —you should go now while you can.
.
I want to apologize, and not only spoke for me, but for everyone, including Ming Ming who could not attend today, I had time to investigate even though Tyson warned us of everything that Boris had done to you...I only ignored them because I wanted to become a professional blader, it was very selfish of me —said Garland.
—don't you think it's a little late to repent —said Pasha.
—don't be so cold Pasha —Sakura saw that Garland's look and apology were sincere —I know you mean it from your heart so we accept his apology.
—I was fighting for my sister's operation, that bastard had me tied up —said Crusher affected.
—I understand you —Tala looked at him —everything I did for him, was to protect Sakura and my friends, it didn't matter what happened to me, I only wanted the security of everyone.
—and what did he want your sister for? —asked Mystel.
—to handle Black Dranzer...
—BLACK DRANZER! —shouted the Russians and Pasha spit her water in Ian's face.
—I'm not surprised that your sister is just as powerful as you —said Brooklyn —after my battle with Tyson I awakened some ability that lets me sense the inner strength of people, your sister's is strong.
—let's keep it a secret please... —Sakura smiled them
.
Boris is a vile rat that took advantage of the dream of innocent children to exploit them at his whim, and threaten them if they didn't fulfill his plans, you were like us back then, simple puppets that didn't see the truth, there is nothing to forgive, that rat is rotting in jail as he deserves, Tala accepted and shook hands with him.
—we were children but you could already think things well —whispered Ian and Sakura kneed him.
—don't think that we are going to sit down to eat all together like happy little friends —Bryan told them, but he smiled —you are lucky that today I am in the mood to accept that apology.
—we know it's not your style —said Mystel.
—so now that everything is settled there is nothing more to say —Brooklyn smiled and turned to leave —see you at the Tala tournament.
.
Others talking were the All Starz, Mariam was with them, Ozuma, Dunga and his brother told her to stay, they wanted to go back to the hotel.
—Rick, I can't eat with that bad attitude, all that vibe is killing my appetite —said Max.
—just shut up Max, I'm not in the mood for your nonsense —Rick had his arms crossed, and his eyes lowered, with his brow furrowed.
—that's what you get for thinking you are an alpha —Mariam whispered.
—What did you say, little girl? —Rick looked at her furious.
—look me wrong, I do not fucking care that's not going to change what happened! —Mariam rubbed her hair —and I think you deserved it —she provoked him again.
—she's right Rick, so calm down —added Max to the surprise of his teammates —sometimes it takes a hard fall to realize what's really going on —he added mustard to his chicken fillet —I know you and I know you're a winner, so are you going to sit there looking like a loser, or are you going to eat and then help me train to beat everyone? —he bit his phillet.
—Max you fucking dear son of a bitch.. —Rick smiled and got up to get some food.
—you've grown up Max —Michael told him —that was a leader's speech.
—I'd say more like one friend to another —Max said, squeezing more mustard at the disgusted look on Emily and Mariam's faces.
.
Tyson was eating with Hilary, Kenny and Zeo.
—I wonder what they're talking about with Daichi —Kenny watched them slyly.
—who knows —Tyson continued eating —as long as they keep him at their table I can eat quietly hahaha!
—what do you think Hilary, you've been like this since the conference ended —Zeo watched her play with her fork.
—it's just that seeing that the guys are going to face each other again and not as a team makes me very sad, it brings back old bitter memories to be honest Zeo.
—Hilary —Tyson surprised her by touching her hand —I know we're all excited to face each other, this is inevitable if you want to be the best in the world —Tyson smiled.
