Neb: It's time to start jumping into battles. Domori already has his rivals, and he has his enemies. Not to mention there's a few kids on the block Domori had faced off against. His main goal, as I've said many times is to collect data on the progression of strength of his opponents. If his opponents fail to show growth, he loses interest in battling against them. His quirks aside, like his multiple personas, this is the fundamentals that define Domori. I do not own Beyblade, or Beyblade Burst, or any other form of Beyblade. This is an OC.
After leaving his mother's resteraunt, Domori took the time to visit people he hadn't seen in a long time. First he went to his favorite Cafe, where they serve his favorite tea, Mango Matcha. He was greeted by the cashiers imediately, as they were friends of his from School.
"I saw you on the big screen when you were facing off against Valt Aoi, Lui Shirosagi, and your sister," the girl at the counter spoke up. "I'm disappointed they didn't focus the camera on your battle with Norman Tarver. Your sister said he gave you a hard time."
"Yeah he managed to crack my Mighty Draconids," Domori admitted. "That crack grew wider and wider the more bladers I faced, and eventually the blade itself fell apart."
"That's terrible," the cashier shook her head. "Did you at least get it fixed?"
"No need," Domori shook his head. "Mighty Draconids served his purpose and we are in a new generation of Beyblade. The Eclipse Draconids I got was enough for me to finish off the Turbo Era, but now we've reached a new stage with my Meteor Draconids."
"Oh wow," she responded when he showed her his new blade. "It's a pretty crystal, and it's shaped like a dagger. Have you faced off against Xander Shakadera by any chance?"
"I went looking for him after the tournament," Domori admitted. "He, Lui, and Free all seemed to disappear. Now there's other people running around with Xcalibur, Longinus, and Fafnir. I find it odd that some of the top bladers took a back seat while other people are running around with their blades. Domori remembered his battle against the new Concealed wielding Changeling. Even Candice seemed to be replaced with a new blader, and she wasn't even a Legend. This of course was due to other people getting a hold of Domori's blue prints for the Spring Loaded transforming Beyblades. Still he found it odd that the new guy copied Candice of all people. She was good blader, but she had no love for the game. Domori was handed his drink and then found a place to sit down. He stared at Meteor Draconids expecting his blade to start talking to him. But nothing was happening, he controls an immense amount of Resonance, and yet communicating with his blade was more difficult then he suspected.
"Hey it's you," another girl spoke up.
Domori raised his head to see the three kids he faced off against the other day staring at him. The girl was named Juli, the timid kid was called Kabi, and the boy who seemed to be their leader was Hiro. "Have you come back for a second fight so soon?", Domori wondered. He noticed Hiro's hands were bandaged up, meaning the kid over did his training. But this was a good sign, it meant the kid was willing to improve.
"Yeah, I'll face you," Hiro nodded.
"Hold on Hiro," Juli spoke up. "He had challenged me next." She flashed back to what Domori said to her before leaving.
"Make sure you strengthen your own blade as well as you do your friends," Domori spoke within her mind.
"Well I have made my blade stronger," she spoke up as she pulled out a pink Beyblade. "My Leaping Jackalope is ready to face your Draconids."
"Simply changing out parts isn't enough," Domori shook his head. "Did you train like your friend Hiro? Did you learn any particular weaknesses in my blade when watching me face your friend?"
"W-well no," she responded.
"I was like you," Domori admitted. "I thought changing parts was enough to get stronger, but then I faced real opponents." From an Audience's perspective, they'd be able to see two shadowy figures of Lui and Free hovering over Domori as if to emphasize his statement. "I'll help all three of you get stronger. How does that sound?"
"It could be beneficial," Kabi pointed out.
Hiro and Juli both looked unsure and Domori then laughed.
"Fine, let me finish my tea. I'll face all three of you together, then you'll at least see where you need to get to if you want to get stronger."
"All three of us," Kabi responded fearfully.
"Are you insulting us?", Juli growled.
"I came here to face you myself," Hiro grunted.
"I've made my decision," Domori responded coldly as his whole demeanor changed. "Either accept or leave, but don't waste my time."
The three of them looked at each other before nodding.
"This is the best chance we'll have I think," Kabi admitted before receiving a death stare from Domori. He shrunk away when this happened and Hiro got in between the two of them.
"Why do you keep singling out Kabi," Hiro grunted.
"Because he's weak," Domori responded coldly. "Those who refuse to get stronger have no place in this game. Even worse so, those who hold others back. "I've watched crowds of kids my age and your age run at the sight of Lui Shirosagi when he'd enter a local tournament or a country wide tournament. I always wondered, how weak did they have to be to give up on a whole tournament because of one blader."
"But that was Lui Shirosagi though," Kabi argued on their behalf. "They weren't going to win against him."
"They could have tried," Domori shook his head. "Instead like you they came up with excuses and fled with their tails tucked between their legs. They never really cared about this game or winning, so why even bother showing up."
"I don't know about any of that," Hiro growled. "But Kabi doesn't deserve the same animosity that you gave those other kids. He is a good blader!"
"Hiro," Kabi responded.
"Then he'll have his chance to prove it," Domori figured.
The four of them were at a nearby Beyblade arena at a gym from across Domori's Aunt's Watch Shop. After he was done facing these kids, visiting his Aunt was the next thing on his to do list.
"You dragged us for a whole mile for a standard arena," Juli whined. "Fine whatever, I hope your ready to lose."
"Facing you last time brought out a power I didn't know I had in me," Hiro spoke up. "I hope you unlock it like last time."
"I don't know why you dragged me into this," Kabi admitted. "But if it's three on one, then I hope your not just over confident in your abilities. My Armored Karkinos brings the defense into battle."
"Striking Habrok is ready to go back on the offense," Hiro added.
"Leaping Jackolope has plenty of stamina to spare," Juli grinned as she pushed up her glasses. "We make up all three types between us."
"My Meteor Draconids will run through all of you," Domori insisted as he gave a bored expression. "But it's fine, if there's a power your really trying to unlock, them I'm happy to help."

"Let it rip," they all yelled.
Domori went for a low sweep right handed launch. While he wasn't using his dominant hand, his right hand still had a lot of power and control. It is the hand he uses to take it easy on his opponents. In a more competitive scene he'd use his right hand to switch up the rhythm of his launches in order to keep his opponents constantly guessing, but that wasn't the case here.
Draconids hit the stadium and immediately went for a clash against Habrok.
"Don't even think about it," Juli called out as her Jackalope bounced in the arena towards Draconids. "Intercept him Jackalope with Bounce Dive!"
"Intuitive," Domori admitted. "But not enough."
"Habrok, back her up," Hiro called out. "Wing Crash!"
"Take the center while he's distracted Karkinos," Kabi called out.
"Objectively you're not wrong," Domori admitted. "The order is all off though!"
The three of them were shocked by this statement.
"You all cover three different types of Beyblades," Domori explained further. "Your Stamina user should be going for the center. Defense should be guarding her. Attack should be going after me. Your objective as a team is either to Burst me, ring me out, or run my Draconids out of gas. But the three of you couldn't commit to a single game plan." Domori waved his hands in the air as Habrok and Jackalope connected with him. "Meteor Repulse!"
Both blades bursted against Domori's Meteor Draconids. "Now take out the one in the center."
"Guard yourself now Karkinos," Kabi yelled. "Deadlock!"
"Meteor Sword Uproar," Domori shouted.
Both blades connected, but Kabi's defense was shut down as his blade joined the others in getting bursted.
"What?", Juli and Kabi responded.
"He's way stronger then he was yesterday," Hiro realized.
"I aspire to be the type of blader I've been looking for," Domori explained. "I am never comfortable staying at one level of strength, I wish to improve every day, every second."
"It's hopeless," Kabi grunted.
"Let's go again," Hiro yelled.
Domori shook his head. "As you are now, I won't even bother. I thought you got stronger, but your even weaker than you were yesterday."
"Please," Hiro cried. "I need to feel that power again. The way I felt yesterday."
"You won't find it against me," Domori shook his head. "I've got errands to run and people to see, sorry kids, but you will never beat me as you are."
Hiro glared angrily at Domori while Juli and Kabi both had defeated looks in their eyes. "I will reach your level. I will reach your level!"
"Good luck," Domori shrugged before leaving.
