Sable Encounters The story begins at the solemn town of Salem, Massachusetts. The Bladebreakers are beginning their journey to the American Championships, but somehow have managed to lose their way...again. Tired from there perilous journeys, they decide to take the day off and instead have fun in this...interesting place...somehow. Kenny occupied himself by visiting the historical sites; Max, well by getting lost a couple of times; Tyson by scoping out beybladers but not finding much; Rei by eating and eating and oh, eating some more; and finally Kai occupied himself by asking constantly when they were going to get out of the god forsaken place!! After settling down and gathering their bearings, the Bladebreakers grew weary of all the "fun" they had that day and sought the BBA for sleep and good food. Not to mention, it was getting dark and Salem isn't exactly the most pleasant place to be after dark. Kenny typed furiously at his laptop, trying to find WHERE exactly the BBA was. "Aw, c'mon Chief, hurry up!" Tyson whined. "Yeah, we're all tired and hungry and...scared," Max sniffled. Of course no one would DARE make fun of Max for being a "scaredy cat" because, truth be told, they all were a little scared themselves. "Hold on, guys I'm typing as fast as I can! Dizzi, can't you download any faster?!" Kenny replied. The voice from the laptop spoke up, "I am! I am! Sheesh, cut me some slack, I only have a 45kb drive!" The group waited outside in the cold darkness, shivering from the eerie whispers of the wind in the alleys. "A-ha! I found it!" Kenny said abruptly, startling every other guy. "You found it?! What about me?! I did most of the work!" Dizzi said, annoyed. "According to Dizzi, the BBA should be right about here!" Kenny said as they stood in front of an old ediface, its foundation crumbling, windows boarded up, and its old wooden door was nothing fancy at all. "Kenny what year was that map made exactly?!" Rei asked irritated. Kenny was perplexed because the map was only a year old and it indicated that the BBA was only introduced 2 years ago. Tyson sighed, "C'mon guys we'd better find some other shelter..." but as they walked away, Kai stopped them. "Hey, guys! There's a sign on the door...it says, 'Welcome to the Salem BBA....abandon all hope all ye who enter here,' well that sounds friendly." As Kai read this the door slowly creaked open and a warm, enticing breeze wafted through, carrying the sound of music, laughter and beyblades spinning. While the others huddled around, trying to decide whether or not to go inside, Kai just sauntered in. After realizing that Kai was gone, they too entered the strange, dilapidated building. Inside, there were beybladers galore! Whether they were dancing, eating, beybattling or going up to their rooms, they all seemed to be having fun!! So, the gang huddled again to decide what to do first and coming to no conclusion, Kai left to sit in a nice isolated corner of the "bar" only to be stopped by a cold, low, female voice. "Sorry, kid, but this seat has been taken for 5 years and it isn't about to be empty anytime soon, so beat it before I get angry!" she said. Normally, Kai wouldn't take such insult, but being in a place like Salem, he wasn't sure just what may happen. So, grumbling and mumbling, he sat in a seat more towards the light and the people. They all settled down near the "bar" and asked for the prices of the food and drink. "No charge for out-of-towners," the "bartender" grunted. While they ate and talked, Rei noticed a group of beyblading girls only a couple seats away. He elbowed Tyson and Kai and nodded in their direction. The guys laughed and whistled. The "bartender" watched them and finally laughed and said, "You guys are being awfully bold by flirting with them gals." The guys were confused. The girls didn't LOOK dangerous or anything, but looks can be deceiving..."How so?" Tyson asked. The "bartender" chuckled. "Those young ladies are the most notorious beyblading gang in this state!" The guys just laughed. How could a couple of girls be the most notorious beyblading gang in the state?! Despite the warnings that the "bartender" gave them, they went over and started a conversation with the girls, well, except for Kai. He felt a little left out. There were only 4 girls there and the guys already plowed on in. Anyway, when it came to introductions, the girl with the silver hair went to say her name, but the mousy blue-haired girl shook her head and said, "No! Our leader wouldn't like that!" The Bladebreakers went silent until Max asked, "Who IS your leader?" The fiery red-head exclaimed, "I am! And I say we introduce ourselves for once!" The very statement seemed to shock all of the girls! The green-haired African-American girl said in a nervous voice, "Y-y-you shouldn't have said that!" The red-head lifted her chin up high in pride. "I only speak the truth!" she exclaimed as an ominous shadow lingered over her. As she realized this, the pride and happiness completely drained from her face. A hand silently ggrabbedher shoulder until she winced in pain. The familiar voice bellowed loudly to the pathetic-looking red-head, "Excuse me, but did mine ears just deceive me....or did you just claim to be the leader of our little 'association'?" The red-head trembled as she replied, a shadow of her previous self, "No, of course not I wouldn't dream of..." Her voice trailed off as she sensed what was to come next. "Do not lie to me, Rouge, or you shall suffer the consequences," the strange figure hissed into her ear. With a final hushed apology the awkward climax descended. The energetic young girl with the silver hair and bright grey eyes spoke up, "Aw, can't we introduce ourselves? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?" The strong and solemn shadow nodded and whispered harshly, "Only after I've finished my drink will we introduce ourselves, IF we want to frighten the 'newbies' properly." And with that last remark, the cold umbra passed back to the seat in the shadows, as if to hide her identity more effectively. The Bladebreakers were astonished at the ferocity of the leader, even Tyson was speechless! Normal conversation didn't pick for a while and their corner of the "bar" was thrown into silence. Even the blaring beats of present generation seemed to be inaudible. It wasn't until another blader entered the ediface noisily and dramatically did the conversation kick up again. The blader sauntered in with a gleam of anticipation in his dark eyes, straightened out his black spikes perched upon his pretentious head, and flashed a million-dollar smile. "Oh no! Tell me he's not gonna..." The girls all looked at each other in doubt. "What?! What's going on?! Who's he?!" Tyson asked quickly. The mousy girl with blue hair fumbled with her glasses before she answered, "That would be Vance Manson, the most attractive, obnoxious, and rich guy in our school...he's come here for the only reason any of us could guess..." She trailed off, leaving the guys hanging as they watched him search for the girls' leader. Tyson couldn't stand being left hanging, he wanted to ask what was going on, but Kai hindered him. "That's not exactly a wise idea, Tyson. I don't think you want to get involved with the affairs of their leader after what we just saw!" Reluctantly, Tyson had to agree with Kai, the girls' leader didn't exactly seem the type to be wanting nosey guys hanging around. The girls gasped as Vance approached their leader from behind and began to speak, "Hello, my lovely black rose..." The cold voice didn't give him a chance in hell to continue. "Get lost, Vance! I already told you, I'm not interested!" Vance just couldn't take no for an answer, he's never had to and never will. He place his arms around the leader's shoulders but, she abrasively shrugged him off. "Aw c'mon, sweetheart, you know you want me..." he said seductively. The leader snickered at the comment. "Actually, I've never been so sure that I don't want you, never have, and never will, so I bid you farewell!" She brushed him off and returned to her drink. Vance wasn't completely angry, but more irritated than usual. He grabbed the leader's wrist and demanded that she listen to him. The shadowy figure glanced at the "bartender" as if to ask for permission. the "bartender" shrugged then, the first, quick strike landed on Vance's stomach. All the guys could see was a flurry of black and Vance crashing to the floor in a heap of tangled muscle and blood. There, standing in the constant swinging of the dim light was, their leader, her silver cat-like eyes burning in fury. She flung her lilac hair out of her pale, dry face, cracked her knuckles and neck, and licked her thin, black lips. She stood tall, strong, elegant and beatiful, looming over the once proud Vance. "Perhaps it would have been best to have heeded my warnings, my dear Vance. It would have saved you the upmost of humiliation." She turned on her heel only to be faced with one of Vance's cronies. He snarled and patted his fist. The leader taunted him, " Well, well. It seems to me that you want to meet the same fate as your friend here." He growled and advanced, only to be stopped by Rei. "Hey, hey! Come on now, would you REALLY hit a girl?!" he asked accusingly. The ogre of a guy replied, " No, but I would hit HER!" The leader had taken all that she could and she threw Rei out of her path and smashed the giant in the nose! He ran off stumbling out the door with Vance. Nonchalantly, the leader returned to her drink. There was only about a mouthful left and she drank it quickly and walked over to the Bladebreakers. "Now, shall we get down to business?" She was acting as if nothing had happened at all! The Bladebreakers just stood there, mouths opened in surprise. "Ahem!" she said irritably. They regained their repose and on went the introductions.... "I'm Kenny, but you can call me Chief! I don't exactly have a beyblade, but I do have a bit-beast. Her name is Dizzi and she's....kinda.....trapped in my laptop...." The girls laughed. "I'm Max, my beyblade's a defense-type and my bit-beast is Draciel the...turtle!" He was so adorable that even their leader had to say,"Awwww!" "I'm Tyson, my beyblade's an attack-type and my bit-beast is Dragoon the phantom dragon!" At this comment, the red-head exclaimed, "Oooooh, a dragon!" "I'm Rei, former member of the White Tigers, my beyblade's an endurance-type and my bit-beast is Driger, the white tiger!!" Kai grunted in reluctancy. "I'm Kai, former leader of the Blade Sharks and the current leader of this team, the Bladebreakers. My beyblade's a combination-type and my bit-beast is Dranzer, the phoenix..." "The Blade Sharks, huh? I've heard of them....they were a formidable gang," the leader said. On went the girls' introductions..... "I'm Azula, but you can call me Tsunami! My beyblade's a real mess, I don't know exactly what type it is but, my bit-beast is Poseidon, god of the sea!" "I'm Stormy, also known as Tempest! My beyblade's a defense-type and my bit-beast is Raijou, the thunder beast!" "I'm Rouge, team name, Blaze! My beyblade's an attack-type and my bit-beast is Blazaar, the fire dragon!" "I'm Ivy, code name, Venus! My beyblade's an endurance-type and my bit-beast is Amazonia, the jungle cat!" ".....I'm Raven, but they call me Wallshadow....my beyblade's a combination-type and my bit-beast is Dreadmoon, the three-headed dog of the underworld...and I am the leader of my team, the Femme Fatales!" ------------------------------------End Chapter One----------------------------------------------------------------- |
