Kai was walking to his old hang out where his gang was. It hasn’t been too long since his team won the championship in Russia and what he did to them was still in his mind. He pulled out his blade and looked at the picture that held Dranzer, his loyal Bit Beast. He reached into his other pocket and pulled out the other Bit Beast, Dark Dranzer. His Grandfather gave it to him during the tournament so he would betray his team to gain their power. He switched the two before anyone noticed and tricked his Grandfather. Though he knew that everyone forgot he had it with him. Now Dark Dranzer was his and no one could take it away.
“Are you researching for something, young one?”
Kai stopped and looked to his side to see someone in a cloak. He hated people wearing those since they remind him of the other people in the abbey. He was about to walk away but she called to him again.
“Your old gang isn’t around anymore.”
He just looked at her though it was clear that he wanted answers.
“They were strong against most opponents but when the news reached them that you abandon them, they broke up. They have been taken over by another gang that isn’t into blading.”
“Why are you telling me this? How do you know?” His voice was cold, though it had a bit of warmth since he discovered how loyal his teammates are.
“You need to know. Since you have found happiness, you need to know. I’m a fortuneteller. Have a nice evening.” She just walked away.
Kai didn’t sense anything bad from her though he knew to be careful. It might it a trick from his Grandfather. He kept on his course, not caring what she said. After all, they’re fake anyway.
When he entered his hangout, no one was there to greet him. He looked everywhere they would normally be but found no one. He couldn’t believe that his gang would abandon him. Something caught his eye as he was in a narrow alley and only the streetlights for light.
“What’s the matter? No one around to greet you home?” The voice was in front of him though he could only see the silhouette.
“What do you want?”
“I want you to hand over Dark Dranzer. You don’t need him anymore.”
“I don’t have him.”
“Don’t pay dumb with me. We were watching you the whole time and I know that you have him with you.”
“What if I don’t?”
A golden rod with a point at the end was aiming at Kai’s neck. Kai could almost feel the coldness of the metal but he wasn’t showing his fear.
“Unless you want your teammates to be sad for your death, I suggest that you hand him over. After all, you have Dranzer. You don’t need a dark one.”
Kai reached into his pockets and remembered that he could launch his blade to get away.
“If you’re thinking about an escape plan, don’t. I’m not the only one here.”
Kai couldn’t tell whether or not he was bluffing. He couldn’t risk it since not even his teammates knew that he still had Dark Dranzer. He took Dark Dranzer out and tossed it to him. He caught it without losing focus on him.
“Just so you know you only have your team to rely on now. We made sure that your gang wouldn’t be a refuge.” He pulled the rod back and walked to the side. Kai couldn’t see where he went but he knew that he couldn’t go after him. He continued his course down the alley.
The next day, the BladeBreakers that were in Japan met at the park. Mr. Dickenson had asked them to before they went their separate ways. Tyson yawned since it was early. Max was in the same boat but he didn’t seem to mind so much. Kenny was typing away on his laptop as Kai had his eyes close, thinking only of how to find the guy that took Dark Dranzer from him.
“Good morning kids.” Mr. Dickenson greeted as he reached them.
“Good morning. Why did you want to meet with us?” Kenny asked.
“I was hoping that you boys would get some training. Though the world tournament is over, there are other tournaments around the world that you could enter.”
“But we’re World Champs, why do we need to enter other tournaments?” Max asked.
“On top of that, why do we need training?” Tyson asked.
“There are a lot of good bladers that are out there. You might want to be prepared for them.”
“Are we entered in another tournament?” Kenny asked.
“Yes, but it’s not for a long while so you can take your time in training.”
“Where is this one taking place?” Max asked.
“Australia. You’ll be fighting against their strongest team. There will also be other teams there from around the world.”
“So this is something like the tournaments in China and America.” Tyson summoned up.
“Correct but there is one team that you have to be careful of.”
“Really? Why?”
“Their sponsor is an expert on games. He chose everyone on his team and they’re very good from what I’ve heard.”
“If they’re good then why didn’t they enter the World Tournament?” Kenny asked.
“He didn’t want them to enter since they were just starting out. He wanted them to get use to each other since they come from different countries.”
“Is that all Mr. D?” Tyson asked.
“No, I have also asked two very powerful Bladers to help train you.”
“We don’t need other people teaching us anything.” Tyson said in protest.
“Then I guess we’re just wasting our time.”
Everyone looked behind Mr. Dickenson to see a girl wearing strapless, jade green shirt with jade green, baggy pants; on her left hand had a purple, elbow glove and her right held a purple, forearm protector with a red jewel at the spike point; a band of purple metal in a shape that looks like wings that encircled around her chest and reached out from her arms to make a point; a white, little cape was on the back and it held another red jewel encircled in gold connecting the band in the front; a golden necklace held a green jewel; her hair was silver and a green cloth held it up; her earrings hung down before triangles appeared; the sunglasses were hiding her eyes but all the BladeBreakers present fell head over heels in that moment.
“I was wondering where you two were.” Everyone was wondering who the other person was now.
“He’s here. He’s just taking his time. There’s no need for both of us to be here at the same time. So are we training these ‘Champs’ or not?”
Mr. Dickenson looked at them and Tyson answered for the team, “Yea, we could use some training under instructors.”
“Good, Mr. Dickenson you better keep your end of this.”
“I will. You boys have fun now. Rei will join you as soon as he’s wounds heal.”
Everyone almost forgot about why he wasn’t with them. Since his battle that got them their first victory in Russia, he has been badly hurt. Now he is in China, healing with his former teammates. Mr. Dickenson walked away and the place was silent.
“Sounds like someone died.”
This time it came from a guy that wore a dark jade green, muscle tank top and bluish green, baggy pants; unlike the girl’s, his showed his black boots; a black belt held his pants and a golden one hung at his side, holding a bright yellow case for a golden rod; his left arm held a metal wrist band with green spikes and for his right forearm, a green band with black for the edge; a silver stone hanging from a chain around his neck; his black shoulder blades held a long golden cape and something similar to a jacket collar; he also had a black neck choker that seemed to be made out of leather and connected with something that would connect a belt; he had blue stones and weird shape gold earrings on both ears but his left had the blue stone down and the golden up, the right had the opposite; his hair was red and tie in the back; his sunglasses also hid his eyes from the group but Kai recognized the voice and rod to guess that he was the one that took Dark Dranzer.
“What are your names?” Max asked.
“My name is Jade,” answered the girl.
“I’m her brother, Krypton. It’s nice to see the losers face to face.”
“Losers?” Tyson got a little ticked.
“What do you mean ‘face to face’?” Kenny asked.
“Mr. Dickenson had us watch you guys ever since you all competed to form this team.” Jade answered.
“Why?” Max asked.
“He was going to have you train with us whether or not you won. Though of course if you didn’t win, the training would be harsher.”
“He had this all plan out from the beginning?”
“Hadn’t you figured out that Mr. Dickenson is usually two or three steps of you or what you know? He always has a plan ready for anything.” Krypton stated coldly, which reminded everyone of how Kai used to be.
“If you guys are powerful then why didn’t you enter the local tournament?” Tyson asked.
“Not every strong blader competes in a tournament. Take the Mystics for example.” Jade said.
“Jade, you better get on with their training. I don’t want to listen to talk all day. That’s not what we’re here for.”
“But they should know a few things. Fine.”
“Relax, we have a good while before our next tournament. There’s no need to rush.” Kenny pointed out.
“But with weaklings like you, we need you get you guys to speed.” Krypton said.
“It wasn’t that long ago since we were in Russia.” Tyson said.
“They were weak themselves.” Krypton smiled to himself.
“You should know that they’re not weak since you watched us.”
“The only reason why you had trouble was because you didn’t use your resources.” He looked right at Kai though Kai didn’t move or show what he was thinking.
“We didn’t know that he was once apart of them.” Kenny said in Kai’s defense.
“You didn’t know when you walked in there but you knew before your match with them. Though I do have to admit, having him fight first was a little smart but you have to remember that everyone is different.”
“What do you mean?”
“Look at you, your whole team is different from one another. You don’t really know the team if you fight one person. That’s why Rei got hurt.”
Everyone looked down. They knew that’s not really the reason that Rei got hurt. He was trying to help get a win for the team. How could they ever understand what they went through? To witness your friend being killed and you couldn’t do anything about it.
“We tried to get him out of it.” Max said in their defense.
“Obviously it didn’t work. That’s why you’re losers.”
“That’s it!” Tyson was now angry but Krypton didn’t seem to care, “I challenge you to a Beybattle.”
Krypton just smiled, “Fine and we’ll show you the real power of a team.”
“Would anyone else like to join? It wouldn’t be fair for Tyson to get the total assault.” Jade said in a way that made one think she was the same as her brother.
Kai got up and walked over to the dish with Dranzer in hand. Everyone else went over as well and Kenny got his computer ready to record this.
“Three… Two… One… Let it RIP!” Max called and the battle began.
Dragoon and Dranzer landed in the dish and started to encircle the dish for their prey. Jade and Krypton’s blades were at an amazing speed though they were an easy target since one was right behind the other. Kai wondered why their blades had the same color patterns but didn’t let that distract him from the game. Dragoon and Dranzer came in for the attack but they somehow missed them. They try it again and again but nothing was working.
“Dizzy, do you know what’s up?” Kenny asked as Max watched over his shoulder.
“It seems like they’re formation is helping with gaining the extra speed needed to dodge their blades.” Right then the blade that was following behind moved ahead and attack both Dragoon and Dranzer, sending both out of the ring. The blade that attacked went back to Jade and the other to Krypton.
“That’s how a team is supposed to be.” Jade said.
“Use Dizzy to figure what we did for the day. We’ll see you afternoon.” They both were walking away.
“Why?” Kai wanted to know.
“We have something more important to take care of.” Krypton didn’t stop nor did Jade.
When they were out of sight, they decided to go to Tyson’s house to analyze what happened. Kai was leaning on a support pole as Kenny typed away on his laptop. Tyson was looking over his blade for no real reason as Max waited patiently.
“I think I got it!” Kenny announced.
Max and Tyson rushed over to see but Kai stayed where he was.
“It appears that their formation helps with the increase in speed.” Kenny said.
“How?” Tyson was eager to know.
“Look, one blade acts as a wind breaker for the other. So when they need to get away from an attack, all they need to do is move the back one so that one acts as the wind breaker.” Dizzy said.
“Wow! That’s pretty smart of them to come up with that strategy.” Max said.
“But that only works if they’re together and how many chances do they have for that? There has to be another reason on why Mr. Dickenson calls them powerful.” Tyson said.
“Kenny, can you freeze an image of their blades?” Kai said as he got up and moved closer.
“Uh, sure Kai.” Kenny typed away as Kai got in a good position to see the screen.
“Why Kai?” Max asked.
“I want to see something about their blades.”
Kenny got the image up. Everyone was surprised to see how different theirs were.
“You think that’s a new model?” Kenny asked.
“No, those were the very old models from when they were just starting making the game. I thought that they only had those among collectors or something.” Max said.
“They’re using old and outdated models? Why?” Tyson asked more to himself than to anyone.
“Max, do you know their usage? They seem to have two different kinds.” Kai asked.
“One of them is an attacking blade and the other is a defensive.”
“I see the attack but not the defense. That wouldn’t even protect the blade.” Kenny said since for the defense, there were only bars under the blades.
“I’ll have to ask my dad about that.”
“But it’s strange that no one has been able to beat them. Especially since they have old models.” Tyson commented to himself.
“Max, lets head to your house. We have until noon to meet back up with them.” Kenny said.
“Good point.”
They head out for Max’s house. It hit Kai that this will the first time he has been here. He knew that he would much rather be by himself to think up a way to defeat him so he could get Dark Dranzer back but he needed to know more about the blade he’s using to do so.
“< Dad, we need your help. >” Max announced as they entered.
“+Ah, what can I help you with?+”
Kenny opened his laptop on his counter and showed him the frozen image of Jade and Krypton’s blades.
“Wow, one of the first models! Where did you see them?”
“Tyson and Kai fought them and lost.” Max explained.
“What? Really? I didn’t think they still made those. Especially with all the new blades out there.”
“That’s what we can’t figure out. We thought that you might give us an insight.” Kenny said.
“I don’t know what to tell you. I haven’t seen those models since Beyblade first started. But even then, there was a quick change and everyone wanted the latest. I used to have one but then a collector for old Beyblades came and offered a lot of money just to have it.”
“Why did you give it up?” Max asked.
“I didn’t think it was important since it was an old model. Whoever owns these blades are every lucky. They look in great shape and not a scratch on it.”
“How could the defensive one defend? Those bars don’t seem to be able to do so.” Kenny asked.
“That was one of the improvements they made to the blades. Try to just challenge that Blader so you can to see how it works. I never knew myself.”
“Ok, thanks dad.”
They walked out and that didn’t help much other than that someone around Max’s dad age had to given it to them. Kai needed to know more and time was running out.
“Ok, that means we need to challenge them again to see how that defense ring works.” Kenny said as they were walking back to the park.
“They’ll just use their strategy again and we won’t get any answers.” Tyson said.
“Hey, they can only dodge if you’re attacking from the sides. Attack from the front and that should work.” Max said.
“Great thinking Max.”
Kai knew that that wouldn’t work, though he would try it if need be. Then he realized that it would be hard to attack since he did notice that both switched the wind blocker every time they did that maneuver. He was beginning to wonder if there was a way to defeat them.
They got to the park before noon hit. Tyson was laying on the slide and looking up at the sky. Kenny was back typing on his laptop and Max was sitting on the swing. Kai was sitting on the hill that led into the park. He was looking at his blade, still wondering how to defeat them. Though Jade wasn’t the one that he really wanted to get, he figured that they only battled together. It was a bit past noon before they showed and Krypton was carrying something with him.
“What took you so long?” Tyson asked in a pissed off way. He’s not too big on waiting.
“Chill, we’re here and that’s all you need to know.” Krypton answered.
“What do you have?” Max asked, thinking that it would be use for their training.
“You’ll see when you train.”
“Letting you know that we’re not training here.” Jade said with a smile.
“Then why have us met here?” Kenny asked.
“It’s better to have one meeting spot and walk there. Follow us.” They walked up the hill that Kai was sitting on. He noticed that Krypton was smiling evilly at him.
Kai tried to hide his anger since his teammates didn’t know that he kept Dark Dranzer. He got up only after everyone else got to the top. He didn’t follow to close but he did keep up. If Krypton was using the case in its original usage then there would be a guitar in it but they weren’t sure and that was getting them a bit nervous. Kai noticed that Krypton whispered something to Jade and she replied back. He now was wishing that he was closer to have heard what was said.
They reached the location to see that there were people that you don’t want to meet in a dark alley. They were definitely apart of a gang that they’ve heard about before they left. Kai remembered that the fortuneteller told him that his gang was broken up by another. He knew that Krypton took Dark Dranzer and mentioned that he broke up his gang. So he figured that they were apart of that same gang. He looked at Jade but she didn’t seem to fit the profile. But he has discovered to never go by looks.
“Thanks for setting it up for us guys.” Jade said in a kind way.
“Not a problem.” One answered but they all were looking in their direction.
“Don’t worry about them, they’re harmless.” Krypton said.
Kai knew that that had a hidden meaning since they never really took their eyes off them as they left. The others were getting a bit nervous, especially Kenny but Kai realized that they were watching him. That means they might think that he would try something, which also means that Krypton was apart of that gang and took Dark Dranzer.
“They’re great guys once you know them.” Jade said as she took off her sunglasses. She revealed a beautiful face with lovely silver eyes. Kai also noticed that they were hard, which means that she had some hard times in her life. Krypton took off his to reveal that he was a fighter and not afraid to show it. His eyes are blue and dark violet, switching with the light.
“But they look nasty.” Max said.
“If I said they were harmless, then I would be lying. Just don’t worry about them.” Krypton went over to the rock that was there. He opened the case to reveal that there was a guitar inside. He pulled on a cord and started to tune it.
“Krypton loves rock music.” Jade explained. “Now let’s get training. I understand the loyalty you have to your blades but you could keep your Bit Beast with you.” She showed them a box that was there. Kenny first went over and opened it, “Wow! There are so many parts in here. Where did you get them all?” Kenny looked at Jade.
“We got them for you. Since we knew from the beginning that we were going to train you, we got ready. They’re parts from all over the world. Well, at least from the places that you’ve been to.”
Tyson and Max walked over and were amazed with all the parts that were there.
“My dad would love this.” Max said, picking up a defense ring.
“Do you have any old parts in here?” Kenny asked.
“Old parts?” She looked confused.
“Yea, like the one that you two use.”
She smiled to herself about something, “At least you’re preparing yourselves but that should be the only time that you’ll go against us. No, there are no old parts in there. All of them are out of date and are hard to find.”
“Not if you know where to look.” Krypton said, still tuning his guitar.
“Krypton.” Jade wasn’t too happy with his answer but he didn’t seem to mind. “Don’t listen to him.”
“How did you get yours?” Tyson asked.
“You don’t really need to know. Anyway, pick parts and put them together. I left out the center piece since I’m hoping you would place your Bit Beast there.”
They started to pick parts while Kenny was dissembling theirs.
“No, you make new blades, not replace the old parts with the new.”
“Huh? Why not?” Kenny asked.
“These parts aren’t going to be with you for the tournament. If you replace your parts then how will you get stronger?”
“Then why do you want us to place our Bit piece with the new ones?” Max asked.
“There aren’t that many Bit Beasts out in the world you know. I understand that your Bit Beast help give your blade a power boost but your blades need to take a beating to get stronger too.”
“You want them to fight against their own blades?” Kenny said with shock.
“Right.”
“Who will launch ours then?” Tyson asked.
“Either me or Kenny.”
“Why not Krypton?”
“He’s not really your trainer. It’s mostly going to be me.”
“Then why is he here?”
“I need to watch out for my sister.”
Kenny put back the parts as they got other parts to make new blades.
“Kai, are you going to join them?” Jade asked.
“It’s a waste of time.”
“Afraid that your blade will lose?” Krypton asked, he played a few cords and it made a sound like an electric guitar.
“Don’t worry Kai, we have a plan.” Tyson said.
“Someone, make something for Kai. He’s still apart of the training, even if he doesn’t want to.” Krypton said.
“And who’s going to make me?”
“C’mon Kai, please. Don’t make us force you.” Jade said with a pleasing voice.
“Jade, you shouldn’t have to beg to him.”
“I’m not going to force them. It’s their choice whether to have this training or not.”
Kai reached into his pocket and pulled out Dranzer. He took out Dranzer and tossed Jade the blade. She caught it as he waited for his teammates to finish up. She smiled to herself, “You can make more than one. I hope you’re making them interesting. When you’re done, hand them and your blades to me.”
“Why?” Tyson asked.
“You’ll see.”
“Jade, could you come over here for a moment.” Krypton called her.
She walked over to him and they talked about something. She took the guitar and started playing something. As she was playing he was listening very closely to something. She stopped and said something to him. He nodded and got up. He pulled out sheets of folded paper and a pencil. He started to write something down and she handed it back to him. Then she walked back to her spot, “Are you guys done?”
“Almost.” Kenny said, though they were watching on what was going on.
They handed them over when they were done. She looked over the blades that they made carefully. “Kenny, are you going to join with them or do you mind launching their blades?” She didn’t look up at him.
“I’ll help you.”
She handed him Dragoon’s old carrier. “You’ll go first. Tyson, you get this one.” She tossed him one that Max made. It was greatly a defensive blade with little attack strength, which is something that Tyson loves. It also wasn’t very fast once launched but they made sure that Max’s blade could defeat it.
“Why are you giving me this one? Shouldn’t I get the attack power Beyblade?”
“Specializing isn’t a good thing. Plus now you get to see how your blade does against a defensive blade.”
“Wait, their blades won’t have a center piece.” Kenny said.
“Oh, right.” She reaching into her right, leg pocket and pulled out her blade. She looked at them, noticing that they all, including Kai, were trying to look at it without too much expression. She took out her centerpiece and placed back her blade. Everyone was a bit upset since they couldn’t see her blade. She walked over to Kenny and placed her centerpiece on Tyson’s blade. “I guess we do need a Bit Beast in the blade since Dragoon is originally in here.”
Everyone was shocked to hear what she just said.

“Don’t pay dumb with me. We were watching you the whole time and I know that you have him with you.”

A golden rod with a point at the end was aiming at Kai’s neck. Kai could almost feel the coldness of the metal but he wasn’t showing his fear.
“Unless you want your teammates to be sad for your death, I suggest that you hand him over. After all, you have Dranzer. You don’t need a dark one.”

“Is that all Mr. D?” Tyson asked.
“No, I have also asked two very powerful Bladers to help train you.”
“We don’t need other people teaching us anything.” Tyson said in protest.
“Then I guess we’re just wasting our time.”
Everyone looked behind Mr. Dickenson to see a girl wearing strapless, jade green shirt with jade green, baggy pants; on her left hand had a purple, elbow glove and her right held a purple, forearm protector with a red jewel at the spike point; a band of purple metal in a shape that looks like wings that encircled around her chest and reached out from her arms to make a point; a white, little cape was on the back and it held another red jewel encircled in gold connecting the band in the front; a golden necklace held a green jewel; her hair was silver and a green cloth held it up; her earrings hung down before triangles appeared; the sunglasses were hiding her eyes but all the BladeBreakers present fell head over heels in that moment.

“I will. You boys have fun now. Rei will join you as soon as he’s wounds heal.”
Everyone almost forgot about why he wasn’t with them. Since his battle that got them their first victory in Russia, he has been badly hurt. Now he is in China, healing with his former teammates. Mr. Dickenson walked away and the place was silent.
“Sounds like someone died.”
This time it came from a guy that wore a dark jade green, muscle tank top and bluish green, baggy pants; unlike the girl’s, his showed his black boots; a black belt held his pants and a golden one hung at his side, holding a bright yellow case for a golden rod; his left arm held a metal wrist band with green spikes and for his right forearm, a green band with black for the edge; a silver stone hanging from a chain around his neck; his black shoulder blades held a long golden cape and something similar to a jacket collar; he also had a black neck choker that seemed to be made out of leather and connected with something that would connect a belt; he had blue stones and weird shape gold earrings on both ears but his left had the blue stone down and the golden up, the right had the opposite; his hair was red and tie in the back; his sunglasses also hid his eyes from the group but Kai recognized the voice and rod to guess that he was the one that took Dark Dranzer.
“What are your names?” Max asked.
“My name is Jade,” answered the girl.
“I’m her brother, Krypton. It’s nice to see the losers face to face.”
“Losers?” Tyson got a little ticked.
“What do you mean ‘face to face’?” Kenny asked.
“Mr. Dickenson had us watch you guys ever since you all competed to form this team.” Jade answered.
“Why?” Max asked.
“He was going to have you train with us whether or not you won. Though of course if you didn’t win, the training would be harsher.”
“He had this all plan out from the beginning?”
“Hadn’t you figured out that Mr. Dickenson is usually two or three steps of you or what you know? He always has a plan ready for anything.” Krypton stated coldly, which reminded everyone of how Kai used to be.
“If you guys are powerful then why didn’t you enter the local tournament?” Tyson asked.
“Not every strong blader competes in a tournament. Take the Mystics for example.” Jade said.
“Jade, you better get on with their training. I don’t want to listen to talk all day. That’s not what we’re here for.”
“But they should know a few things. Fine.”
“Relax, we have a good while before our next tournament. There’s no need to rush.” Kenny pointed out.
“But with weaklings like you, we need you get you guys to speed.” Krypton said.
“It wasn’t that long ago since we were in Russia.” Tyson said.
“They were weak themselves.” Krypton smiled to himself.
“You should know that they’re not weak since you watched us.”
“The only reason why you had trouble was because you didn’t use your resources.” He looked right at Kai though Kai didn’t move or show what he was thinking.
“We didn’t know that he was once apart of them.” Kenny said in Kai’s defense.
“You didn’t know when you walked in there but you knew before your match with them. Though I do have to admit, having him fight first was a little smart but you have to remember that everyone is different.”
“What do you mean?”
“Look at you, your whole team is different from one another. You don’t really know the team if you fight one person. That’s why Rei got hurt.”
Everyone looked down. They knew that’s not really the reason that Rei got hurt. He was trying to help get a win for the team. How could they ever understand what they went through? To witness your friend being killed and you couldn’t do anything about it.
“We tried to get him out of it.” Max said in their defense.
“Obviously it didn’t work. That’s why you’re losers.”
“That’s it!” Tyson was now angry but Krypton didn’t seem to care, “I challenge you to a Beybattle.”
Krypton just smiled, “Fine and we’ll show you the real power of a team.”
“Would anyone else like to join? It wouldn’t be fair for Tyson to get the total assault.” Jade said in a way that made one think she was the same as her brother.
Kai got up and walked over to the dish with Dranzer in hand. Everyone else went over as well and Kenny got his computer ready to record this.
“Three… Two… One… Let it RIP!” Max called and the battle began.
Dragoon and Dranzer landed in the dish and started to encircle the dish for their prey. Jade and Krypton’s blades were at an amazing speed though they were an easy target since one was right behind the other. Kai wondered why their blades had the same color patterns but didn’t let that distract him from the game. Dragoon and Dranzer came in for the attack but they somehow missed them. They try it again and again but nothing was working.
“Dizzy, do you know what’s up?” Kenny asked as Max watched over his shoulder.
“It seems like they’re formation is helping with gaining the extra speed needed to dodge their blades.” Right then the blade that was following behind moved ahead and attack both Dragoon and Dranzer, sending both out of the ring. The blade that attacked went back to Jade and the other to Krypton.
“That’s how a team is supposed to be.” Jade said.
“Use Dizzy to figure what we did for the day. We’ll see you afternoon.” They both were walking away.
“Why?” Kai wanted to know.
“We have something more important to take care of.” Krypton didn’t stop nor did Jade.
When they were out of sight, they decided to go to Tyson’s house to analyze what happened. Kai was leaning on a support pole as Kenny typed away on his laptop. Tyson was looking over his blade for no real reason as Max waited patiently.
“I think I got it!” Kenny announced.
Max and Tyson rushed over to see but Kai stayed where he was.
“It appears that their formation helps with the increase in speed.” Kenny said.
“How?” Tyson was eager to know.
“Look, one blade acts as a wind breaker for the other. So when they need to get away from an attack, all they need to do is move the back one so that one acts as the wind breaker.” Dizzy said.
“Wow! That’s pretty smart of them to come up with that strategy.” Max said.
“But that only works if they’re together and how many chances do they have for that? There has to be another reason on why Mr. Dickenson calls them powerful.” Tyson said.
“Kenny, can you freeze an image of their blades?” Kai said as he got up and moved closer.
“Uh, sure Kai.” Kenny typed away as Kai got in a good position to see the screen.
“Why Kai?” Max asked.
“I want to see something about their blades.”
Kenny got the image up. Everyone was surprised to see how different theirs were.
“You think that’s a new model?” Kenny asked.
“No, those were the very old models from when they were just starting making the game. I thought that they only had those among collectors or something.” Max said.
“They’re using old and outdated models? Why?” Tyson asked more to himself than to anyone.
“Max, do you know their usage? They seem to have two different kinds.” Kai asked.
“One of them is an attacking blade and the other is a defensive.”
“I see the attack but not the defense. That wouldn’t even protect the blade.” Kenny said since for the defense, there were only bars under the blades.
“I’ll have to ask my dad about that.”
“But it’s strange that no one has been able to beat them. Especially since they have old models.” Tyson commented to himself.
“Max, lets head to your house. We have until noon to meet back up with them.” Kenny said.
“Good point.”
They head out for Max’s house. It hit Kai that this will the first time he has been here. He knew that he would much rather be by himself to think up a way to defeat him so he could get Dark Dranzer back but he needed to know more about the blade he’s using to do so.
“< Dad, we need your help. >” Max announced as they entered.
“+Ah, what can I help you with?+”
Kenny opened his laptop on his counter and showed him the frozen image of Jade and Krypton’s blades.
“Wow, one of the first models! Where did you see them?”
“Tyson and Kai fought them and lost.” Max explained.
“What? Really? I didn’t think they still made those. Especially with all the new blades out there.”
“That’s what we can’t figure out. We thought that you might give us an insight.” Kenny said.
“I don’t know what to tell you. I haven’t seen those models since Beyblade first started. But even then, there was a quick change and everyone wanted the latest. I used to have one but then a collector for old Beyblades came and offered a lot of money just to have it.”
“Why did you give it up?” Max asked.
“I didn’t think it was important since it was an old model. Whoever owns these blades are every lucky. They look in great shape and not a scratch on it.”
“How could the defensive one defend? Those bars don’t seem to be able to do so.” Kenny asked.
“That was one of the improvements they made to the blades. Try to just challenge that Blader so you can to see how it works. I never knew myself.”
“Ok, thanks dad.”
They walked out and that didn’t help much other than that someone around Max’s dad age had to given it to them. Kai needed to know more and time was running out.
“Ok, that means we need to challenge them again to see how that defense ring works.” Kenny said as they were walking back to the park.
“They’ll just use their strategy again and we won’t get any answers.” Tyson said.
“Hey, they can only dodge if you’re attacking from the sides. Attack from the front and that should work.” Max said.
“Great thinking Max.”
Kai knew that that wouldn’t work, though he would try it if need be. Then he realized that it would be hard to attack since he did notice that both switched the wind blocker every time they did that maneuver. He was beginning to wonder if there was a way to defeat them.
They got to the park before noon hit. Tyson was laying on the slide and looking up at the sky. Kenny was back typing on his laptop and Max was sitting on the swing. Kai was sitting on the hill that led into the park. He was looking at his blade, still wondering how to defeat them. Though Jade wasn’t the one that he really wanted to get, he figured that they only battled together. It was a bit past noon before they showed and Krypton was carrying something with him.
“What took you so long?” Tyson asked in a pissed off way. He’s not too big on waiting.
“Chill, we’re here and that’s all you need to know.” Krypton answered.
“What do you have?” Max asked, thinking that it would be use for their training.
“You’ll see when you train.”
“Letting you know that we’re not training here.” Jade said with a smile.
“Then why have us met here?” Kenny asked.
“It’s better to have one meeting spot and walk there. Follow us.” They walked up the hill that Kai was sitting on. He noticed that Krypton was smiling evilly at him.
Kai tried to hide his anger since his teammates didn’t know that he kept Dark Dranzer. He got up only after everyone else got to the top. He didn’t follow to close but he did keep up. If Krypton was using the case in its original usage then there would be a guitar in it but they weren’t sure and that was getting them a bit nervous. Kai noticed that Krypton whispered something to Jade and she replied back. He now was wishing that he was closer to have heard what was said.
They reached the location to see that there were people that you don’t want to meet in a dark alley. They were definitely apart of a gang that they’ve heard about before they left. Kai remembered that the fortuneteller told him that his gang was broken up by another. He knew that Krypton took Dark Dranzer and mentioned that he broke up his gang. So he figured that they were apart of that same gang. He looked at Jade but she didn’t seem to fit the profile. But he has discovered to never go by looks.
“Thanks for setting it up for us guys.” Jade said in a kind way.
“Not a problem.” One answered but they all were looking in their direction.
“Don’t worry about them, they’re harmless.” Krypton said.
Kai knew that that had a hidden meaning since they never really took their eyes off them as they left. The others were getting a bit nervous, especially Kenny but Kai realized that they were watching him. That means they might think that he would try something, which also means that Krypton was apart of that gang and took Dark Dranzer.
“They’re great guys once you know them.” Jade said as she took off her sunglasses. She revealed a beautiful face with lovely silver eyes. Kai also noticed that they were hard, which means that she had some hard times in her life. Krypton took off his to reveal that he was a fighter and not afraid to show it. His eyes are blue and dark violet, switching with the light.
“But they look nasty.” Max said.
“If I said they were harmless, then I would be lying. Just don’t worry about them.” Krypton went over to the rock that was there. He opened the case to reveal that there was a guitar inside. He pulled on a cord and started to tune it.
“Krypton loves rock music.” Jade explained. “Now let’s get training. I understand the loyalty you have to your blades but you could keep your Bit Beast with you.” She showed them a box that was there. Kenny first went over and opened it, “Wow! There are so many parts in here. Where did you get them all?” Kenny looked at Jade.
“We got them for you. Since we knew from the beginning that we were going to train you, we got ready. They’re parts from all over the world. Well, at least from the places that you’ve been to.”
Tyson and Max walked over and were amazed with all the parts that were there.
“My dad would love this.” Max said, picking up a defense ring.
“Do you have any old parts in here?” Kenny asked.
“Old parts?” She looked confused.
“Yea, like the one that you two use.”
She smiled to herself about something, “At least you’re preparing yourselves but that should be the only time that you’ll go against us. No, there are no old parts in there. All of them are out of date and are hard to find.”
“Not if you know where to look.” Krypton said, still tuning his guitar.
“Krypton.” Jade wasn’t too happy with his answer but he didn’t seem to mind. “Don’t listen to him.”
“How did you get yours?” Tyson asked.
“You don’t really need to know. Anyway, pick parts and put them together. I left out the center piece since I’m hoping you would place your Bit Beast there.”
They started to pick parts while Kenny was dissembling theirs.
“No, you make new blades, not replace the old parts with the new.”
“Huh? Why not?” Kenny asked.
“These parts aren’t going to be with you for the tournament. If you replace your parts then how will you get stronger?”
“Then why do you want us to place our Bit piece with the new ones?” Max asked.
“There aren’t that many Bit Beasts out in the world you know. I understand that your Bit Beast help give your blade a power boost but your blades need to take a beating to get stronger too.”
“You want them to fight against their own blades?” Kenny said with shock.
“Right.”
“Who will launch ours then?” Tyson asked.
“Either me or Kenny.”
“Why not Krypton?”
“He’s not really your trainer. It’s mostly going to be me.”
“Then why is he here?”
“I need to watch out for my sister.”
Kenny put back the parts as they got other parts to make new blades.
“Kai, are you going to join them?” Jade asked.
“It’s a waste of time.”
“Afraid that your blade will lose?” Krypton asked, he played a few cords and it made a sound like an electric guitar.
“Don’t worry Kai, we have a plan.” Tyson said.
“Someone, make something for Kai. He’s still apart of the training, even if he doesn’t want to.” Krypton said.
“And who’s going to make me?”
“C’mon Kai, please. Don’t make us force you.” Jade said with a pleasing voice.
“Jade, you shouldn’t have to beg to him.”
“I’m not going to force them. It’s their choice whether to have this training or not.”
Kai reached into his pocket and pulled out Dranzer. He took out Dranzer and tossed Jade the blade. She caught it as he waited for his teammates to finish up. She smiled to herself, “You can make more than one. I hope you’re making them interesting. When you’re done, hand them and your blades to me.”
“Why?” Tyson asked.
“You’ll see.”
“Jade, could you come over here for a moment.” Krypton called her.
She walked over to him and they talked about something. She took the guitar and started playing something. As she was playing he was listening very closely to something. She stopped and said something to him. He nodded and got up. He pulled out sheets of folded paper and a pencil. He started to write something down and she handed it back to him. Then she walked back to her spot, “Are you guys done?”
“Almost.” Kenny said, though they were watching on what was going on.
They handed them over when they were done. She looked over the blades that they made carefully. “Kenny, are you going to join with them or do you mind launching their blades?” She didn’t look up at him.
“I’ll help you.”
She handed him Dragoon’s old carrier. “You’ll go first. Tyson, you get this one.” She tossed him one that Max made. It was greatly a defensive blade with little attack strength, which is something that Tyson loves. It also wasn’t very fast once launched but they made sure that Max’s blade could defeat it.
“Why are you giving me this one? Shouldn’t I get the attack power Beyblade?”
“Specializing isn’t a good thing. Plus now you get to see how your blade does against a defensive blade.”
“Wait, their blades won’t have a center piece.” Kenny said.
“Oh, right.” She reaching into her right, leg pocket and pulled out her blade. She looked at them, noticing that they all, including Kai, were trying to look at it without too much expression. She took out her centerpiece and placed back her blade. Everyone was a bit upset since they couldn’t see her blade. She walked over to Kenny and placed her centerpiece on Tyson’s blade. “I guess we do need a Bit Beast in the blade since Dragoon is originally in here.”
Everyone was shocked to hear what she just said.
