Darkpsychic: Kenny, have you fixed Tyson's blade yet?
Kenny: I can't fix it at all! It's sliced right into two!
Darkpsychic: Then make a new one for him! He's going to need one during the
test.
Kenny: *mutters* Why must you destroy his blade in the first place.
Darkpsychic: He stole my sushi! That's why! I was just trying to teach him
a lesson!
Kenny: .
~~RAY ENTERS~~
Ray: I heard that the test was going to start soon and I'm going to be the
first one to be tested.
Darkpsychic: Dun blame me, blame Tyson. I was going to let him go first but
since Rena sliced his blade, he can't.
Ray: All right, all right. I'll go first. Make it easily will you?
Darkpsychic: Mmm. I'll think about it.
Ray: *sweatdrop*
Kai: Darkpsychic does not own Beyblade but she do own the rest of the new
characters you will see in it like Kari, Joy and Rena. *murmurs* Why must I
do this?

Chapter 3 ~The Test Begins~
/ Thoughts /
"Speaking"
* * *
(A/N: We'll start with the Radicalz^^)
"Kari, why did you decline Kai's challenge?" Joy asked as the trio walked
back to the hall.
"Because I cannot have them doing research on Shadow. When you know your
opponent's bit beast but you opponent doesn't know yours, you will
definitely have a head start." Kari replied.
"So I was wrong to show them Trifol?" Rena asked worriedly.
Kari smirked. " They might know one of our bit beast but we already know
all of theirs. That's good enough for me."
"Claire managed to find lots of information on those guys. It seems that
they showed off their bit beasts almost as soon as they got them." Joy
reminded Rena.
"Oh yah, now I remember." Rena slapped her head.
"The test is beginning soon and I want you to go for the speed test Rena.
Think you can do it?" Kari asked.
"Yes. Trifol was not at all tired from the match just now, it was a quick
win." Rena replied confidently.
"Be careful Rena, they might be sending that Ray in the team. I heard that
he's from the White Tigers before he joined the Bladebreakers." Joy warned.
"Relax Joy, I'll be cautious. Let's go meet the others." Rena assured her.
"Ok." Joy replied and they headed towards the hall.
* * *
"Who are those two girls sitting near us? The brown hair one certainly
looks like you Kenny, typing and typing without stopping." Tyson commented
as he pointed to the brown hair girl who was typing in her laptop.
The Bladebreakers had gone back to the hall and were now seated back at
their original seats.
"I didn't see them just now, they must have changed their seats with
another team." Max joined in their conversation.
"Why are there only two of them? I thought there must be at least three in
a team?" Kenny asked as he looked up.
"Oh chief, they might just be waiting for their team members there." Dizzi
told him.
"Want to go say hello?" Tyson suggested.
"Sure! No harm making more friends! You two coming?" Max asked Kai and Ray.
Ray shook his head, " Nah, I'm trying to figure out why that Rena's bit
beast seem so familiar." Kai did not reply at all.
" I'm coming with you." Kenny shouted and stood up with his laptop, " I'm
kinda interested in what's she's typing."
"Let's go then." Tyson exclaimed and led the way.
"Hi, we're from the Bladebreakers and we were just sitting beside you." Max
greeted as they approached the pair.
/Bladebreakers? That's the team we were researching on/ the brown haired
girl thought, " Erm hi. My name's Claire and this is Kate." She introduced,
gesturing to the blonde girl next to her.
"Hi, I'm Tyson and this is Max and Kenny." Tyson replied happily and shook
their hands.
"Can anyone introduce the computer here?" a voice came from the laptop
Claire was holding.
"Huh?" Max exclaimed, "I thought I just heard the laptop saying something!"
"What kind of program are you using?" Kenny asked immediately and went over
to examine the laptop.
Claire and Kate sweatdrop. "This is Reni. He's a bit beast." Kate
explained.
"What?! Another bit beast got stuck in the computer?" Tyson said and looked
over Kenny.
"Hey Mister, I DID NOT got stuck in a computer! I like it here." Reni
shouted.
"That's sure the Reni I know." Dizzi suddenly said.
"You know Reni?!" echoed Tyson, Max and Kenny.
"You have a bit beast in the computer too?!" exclaimed Claire and Kate.
"Hey chill. What's all the commotion just because there are two bit beast
here in laptops?" Reni laughed.
"You never told me that the Bladebreakers had a Dizzara in a laptop!"
Claire scolded.
"You never asked me Claire."
"But you should have told me anyway."
"How do I know what you want."
"So we have two bit beast here, stuck in laptops and they know each
other?!" Tyson repeat.
"This is unbelievable." Kate whispered and looked at Kenny's computer, " So
you're Dizzara right?"
"Chief usually calls me Dizzi." Dizzi replied.
"Cool, and you know Reni?" Claire asked curiously.
"Yes, the weird old Renigan who likes to stay in a computer more than
anything else."
"Hey Dizzi, I'm taking the pleasure to remind you that you are stuck in the
computer too?" Reni reminded.
"Hello chief, can you get me away from this still-so-irritating bit beast?"
Kenny laughed, " You can always shut down Dizzi."
"Thank YOU for the reminder." Dizzi replied sarcastically and shut down.
"See Reni? I told you that everyone find you irritating." Claire told her
laptop.
"Fine! I'll keep quiet and see who do the research next time!" Reni said
and then shut down like Dizzi too.
"Wow, we have two angry bit beast here." Tyson commented.
Kenny laughed, "Don't worry. Dizzi is always so temperate."
"Yah. Kenny's right. What about Reni?" Max asked them.
Kate giggled. Claire smiled, " He'll be back on schedule as soon as Kari."
Claire quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from babbling anymore.
"Did I hear wrongly or did you just mention the name Kari?" Tyson asked
suspiciously.
"Yeah, I heard it too." Max exclaimed.
"I think she means me." A familiar voice sounded and Kari, Rena and Joy
came into sight.
"Don't you have anything better to do than to chat Claire?" Kari asked and
walked over, " I thought you and Kate supposed to be researching on the
other teams?"
"We were Kari, but then Tyson and the rest came to say hello." Kate
replied.
"So what's Miss Sourpuss doing here?" Tyson mocked.
"Does talking to my team members a good enough reason for you?"
"Guess I forgot to tell you guys. We're from the Radicalz." Claire
apologized.
"What?!" Kenny exclaimed. /They have a researcher in their team too/
Kari walked past them and sat down, " Mind if you guys leave first? We have
something to discuss here." She asked coldly.
Tyson got up immediately, " No point sitting in a polluted area. Polluted
by your sickness Kari. Let's go guys," and walked off.
"I'm sorry. Maybe we can talk someday." Kate whispered before joining her
team. Max smiled, "It's not your fault." And went off with Kenny.
"Do you have to be that cold Kari?" Kate asked as they sat together.
"." was Kari's reply. There was an awkward silence.
"Never mind that," said Rena, breaking the silence, " We have to decide who
goes to the defence test after me."
"I suggest Kate to go since her blade's defence is the strongest among us."
Claire said as she clicked a few keys and showed them the structure of
Kate's blade.
"So then I would have to go for the attack test coming next." Joy asked.
"Uh huh, and then Kari will go for the endurance test." Claire concluded, "
Any objections?"
Kari shook her head. "Nope, this should be good enough. Remember, dun show
your bit beats until there's really a need for that." She replied.
"Ok, then we shall wait for the test to start." Claire smiled.
~~OVER AT THE BLADEBREAKERS~~
"I can't believe why those nice people have to put up with that mean cold
leader!" Tyson exclaimed his astonishment as he sat down with a plop.
"Actually, they are kinda like us Tyson." Max reminded him.
"Oh yah, we have a Mr Sourpuss here also," said Tyson as he cheekily
pointed to Kai.
"Enough fooling around and let's get started. I've just found out what we
will be tested on." Kenny told them.
"Really? Oh yeah, finally after all these waiting!" Tyson shouted.
"Erm Tyson? You cannot go until I fix your blade." Kenny told him.
"Oh yah," remembered Tyson, slightly out off.
"Hey Ray, Kai! I'm going to tell you all what test we will be tested on
first interested?" Kenny shouted to the two boys.
"Ok." Ray replied and Kai followed too.
"Ok, according to my information, the first thing we will be tested on will
be speed. I think Ray should go first." Kenny announced.
"Good idea chief, Ray's blade is definitely the fastest in our team." Max
commented.
"Next one to go will be you Max, for the defence test." Kenny continued.
"Yup, Max's blade is best in defence. When is it my turn?" Tyson asked.
"You will be third Tyson, for the attack test and hopefully I have fixed
your blade by then," Kenny told him.
"Ok," Tyson agreed, " Hey when is Mr Sourpuss going?"
"Kai will go for the endurance test Tyson, his blade is the only one among
us that can spin that long. Any objections Kai?" Kenny asked.
"No."
"Ok, then it's settled. I better start fixing your blade." Kenny announced
and started typing.
* * *
"Two hours up! Now it's time for the test to begin!" Mr Terasumi shouted
and all the bladers were led away from the centre of the hall.
"Bring on the stadium!" he ordered and the ground started to shook as the
middle part of the hall opened and a classical Beystadium was lifted up.
"This will be a test of speed. All the representatives from the team will
launch their Beyblade into this stadium. After the last blader had
launched, objects like rocks and giant pebbles will be thrown into the
stadium from height of three metres, the last few blades to dodge all the
objects and still continue spinning pass this round. Bladers may not use
attacks to destroy the objects" Mr Terasumi explained, " Now will all
bladers come forward now."
"Good luck Ray, you and Driger can do it!" Tyson cheered as he gave his
teammate an encouraging pat on the shoulder. Ray nodded and walked to the
middle.
"On the count of three, all bladers please launch your Beyblade. Failure to
do so will fail this test immediately. 3, 2, 1, LET IT RIP!" the judge of
the test (A/N: Another teacher) shouted and all the bladers launched their
Beyblades.
"Go Driger!" Ray shouted as Driger got a good start and landed on the side
of the stadium while almost all the other blades landed in the middle.
"Release the pebbles!" the judge commanded and more than a few dozens of
pebbles could be seen falling from above.
"Trifol, agility now!" Rena commanded and the blade immediately disappeared
from sight and went off to a safe corner.
/Rena! Her team sent her for this test so her blade must have the fastest
speed/Ray thought and then concentrated on Driger.
"Dodge it now!" Ray commanded as he noticed a pebble falling from the side
where Driger was.
"Boy that was close." Said Max who was watching from the side.
"Ray should keep his concentration." Kenny exclaimed.
"Release the rocks now!" the judge shouted again and this time rocks as
large as fists were falling from above.
/Trifol can't escape all these! They are big enough to cover the entire
stadium/ Rena thought anxiously as she saw blades being either crushed or
knocked out one by one by the massive rocks.
On the other side Ray were having the same thoughts. /What do I do now/
"Ray's a gonna! Those rocks are big enough to cover the entire stadium!"
Tyson shouted.
/I have no choice/ "Trifol, jump now!" Rena commanded and Trifol appeared
in her bit form.
The brown fox jumped over the rocks one by one and landed safely at the
side. /Phew./
Rena thought.
The rocks soon settled and it was time to see the result. "Oh no! What
happened to Driger?" Kenny asked as he scanned the stadium for the sight of
the grey blade.
"Dun worry Kenny, Driger is safe and sound." Ray assured him after all the
bladers members rushed towards the stadium to see the results.
"Safe? Where is Driger Ray!" Max asked frantically.
Ray smiled. "There." He said and pointed to a dark corner under a large
pebble where Driger is still spinning."
"That is ingenious Ray! So Driger was there all these while!" Tyson
exclaimed.
"Looks like we have the results. The few survivors of this test are Mike,
Dave, Jake, Rena and Ray. Congratulations! The teams of this few people
will all receive 10 points for passing this test." Mr Terasumi announced
after checking with the judge.
/How did she passed/ Ray thought and searched for the girl's blade and
suddenly understood why, /Why didn't I thought of that/
"Good job Rena, you did it!" Joy cheered as Rena went back to the team.
"It was awesome Rena, it was a great idea." Kate commented and hugged her.
Kari said nothing. /If I worked this out correctly, I will be against Kai
in the endurance test. Knowing Kai, he'll probably turn it into a knock out
match instead/
At their side the Bladebreakers, minus Kai, were cheering for Ray. "You did
it! Great job."
Tyson shouted.
"That was such a great idea. The pebble protected you from all the
attacks!" Kenny told him.
"Not good enough. Guess how Rena passed?" Ray asked them.
"Rena from the Radicalz? Dunno, I was too busy worrying for you." Max
replied. Tyson and Kenny shook their head too.
"She jumped onto the rocks on by one." Ray explained. /The agility of her
blade must be incredible to do that/
"Who cares as long as you won! I'm next now." Max exclaimed and took out
his Draciel, " Draciel and I are going to earn another 10 points for the
Bladebreakers."
"Is my blade fixed yet Kenny?" Tyson asked impatiently, " I'm after Max you
know."
"I'm trying my best Tyson so don't rush me!" Kenny replied and set back to
work again. /It's harder than I thought/
* * *
"Next test will be the defence test. Will all teams please send their
representatives now?" announced Mr Terasumi and many bladers from different
teams step up.
"Wish me luck." Kate shouted as she took out her light green blade, " Let's
go Fetra."
"Good luck Kate!" echoed the rest of her teammates.
"The rules are the same as last test. All bladers launch their blade at the
count of three. This time the blades are not supposed to run from the
object released but build a defence against them. The last few to take
damage from all the objects and is still spinning passed this test," The
same judge explained.
/All those objects just now?! I'm done for it/Kate thought as she scanned
the beystadium.
"Do you think Kate can make it? All those objects falling from the sky and
the rocks and pebbles left over from the last test isn't going to be easy."
Rena asked worriedly.
"I just updated her blade last night Rena, it should be able to withstand
all this." Claire replied.
/The attack test's next and the Bladebreakers must be sending that Tyson.
Oh no! Rena destroyed his blade! What if they can't fix it in time/ Joy
suddenly thought anxiously.
"If you want to help then go." Kari replied to her thoughts.
"Kari. I." Joy began.
"Go on. It's our fault that his blade was sliced in the first place." Kari
told her. /I'm not as bad you know/
"Thank you! Can you help me Claire?" Joy asked happily.
"Ok, I'll help." Claire replied and closed her laptop.
Together the two Radicalz members headed towards the Bladebreakers where
Kenny is currently working desperately on Tyson's blade.
* * *
Darkpsychic: I think I'll stop here first, it's getting long.
Max: Hey what do you mean! I was just getting ready to shoot and then you
stop!
Darkpsychic: *blinks* Sorry then. At least you still have time to practise!
Max: Yah right.
~~IN A CORNER~~
Claire: Wow, you have so much data on Beyblades!
Kenny: They took me a long time to collect them. Let see what you have.
*gasp*
Claire: What's the big astonishment?
Kenny: You have a lot more than I do! Where did you get those?
~TALK TALK TALK~
Darkpsychic: Erm guys? Are you going to start fixing Tyson's blade soon?
The attack test is just next chapter you know.
Kenny and Claire: *Blush*
Darkpsychic: Look out for the next chapter when the defence test will
continue and find out whether Kenny and Claire could fix Tyson's blade in
time.
Kenny: How did you ever think of that!
Claire: Well.
Darkpsychic: *whispers* I think not if this goes on.
