Beyblade- Blading Star

Asian-Tournament-Chapter-1

-STORY START-
-RAY'S POV-

Well you all got Kai back and were now heading back to the Hotel, once you all arrived you sat down and relaxed on one of the single sofas. Soon after that Mr Dickenson came in with a smile on his face.

Mr D: Well boys suit up I'm taking you out this evening
You: Out? Where to?
Tyson: Dinner again?
Kenny: Tyson you just stuffed your face, too much and you'll get sick
Tyson: No, I won't, so is it dinner?
Max: -_- 'Tyson

Mr D lightly laughed

Mr D: No boys, but they do serve food there now come along there's something I wish to show you, you have 5 min to get ready, Beyblades and all please, I'll be waiting in the lobby downstairs.
Tyson: Ok Mr D

So, you all went back to your rooms except Kai who went into the kitchen, then you decided to follow

You: Hey Kai
Kai: What is it Ray?
You: Um...nothing just wanted to see if you're ok
Kai: I'm fine, you better get ready we have to be down soon, whatever this is it better not be a waste of time
You: I guess, but we won't know until we see it...whatever it is

Kai said nothing, so you just went and quickly changed your outfit into a clean one.
Soon enough you were all ready and took the elevator down to the lobby, there you all saw Mr D and he stood up and took you all outside to a large van. You all got in and sat down

You: So where are we going sir?
Kenny: Yeah
Mr D: It's a special and private place in Hong Kong where a good friend of mine works
Tyson: So why did we have to bring our blades?
Mr D: You'll see when you get there, won't be too long now, it's just on the outskirts of town.

-FF-

You all arrived at a rather busy street lined with shops, clubs market stalls and tons of people

You: What is this?
Mr D: Don't worry, follow me and stay close

You all did as you were told and followed Mr D

Your thoughts: What kind of person would work here?

Soon you all came to a kind of alley way and Mr D took a right turn and you all followed, then you came to a large wooden door, but it was shut. Mr D knocked on the door and a small slide opened in the door

Man1: Password?
Mr D: Crimson

The man shut the slide and opened the door and you all walked in looking at each other confused

Tyson: What is this place?
You: No idea

Inside was rather dark but had lights down a long corridor all evenly spread out, you all came in and the door was shut behind you and a bit further to your right was a man behind a kind of till.

Man2: Please take a mask and put it on, then proceed down the corridor till you get to the curtains and from there my colleague will do the rest.

You all looked confused at one another except Kai who was more suspicious than anything else. But all the same you did as you were told.
You all put your masks on and looked at each other

You: Wow
Max: Hey these are pretty cool
Kenny: Yeah, it's kinda weird though
Kai: What is the point in this?
Mr D: You'll soon see
Tyson: Hmpf
Max: What's the matter Tyson?

You all turned and then realised Tyson's mask was a jesters'

Tyson: I look like a clown with this mask
Kai: Then it suites you

Tyson got furious and was going to jump him but you, Kenny and Max held him back

Kenny: Tyson that's enough!
Mr D: Boys please stop it, this is a place of class don't spoil it

You all stopped and proceeded to follow Mr D down to the end of the corridor. There you saw crimson silk curtains, and they were pulled back by a third man

Man3: Good evening and welcome, I will escort you to your seats.

You all went down the stairs to the bottom which turned out to be the front seats. There in front of you was a rather large metal cage and inside a large dark whole in the ground but you could hardly see it. The walls were near enough grey and the carpets were red and the chairs the same as the curtain

You: What kind of place is this?
Mr D: It's a sort of club, but not exactly you'll soon see what i want to you too soon enough boys, just hold on

You said nothing and shrugged it off, but you did look around and saw there were about 30 people or so in there all wearing different masks. You were suddenly pulled away from your thoughts as you heard an announcer.

Man4: Ladies and Gentlemen i would like to welcome you all to the Miss Scarlet Lounge, and I'm more than pleased to present to you Miss Scarlet.

He waved his hand gracefully and out of the darkness came a figure that seemed to me a woman.

Your thoughts: Woah...

You then turned to Max, Tyson and Kenny who were kinda red. Kai on the other hand just had a raised eyebrow and still a look of suspicion

The announcer then gave the mic to the woman who was introduced as Miss Scarlet.

Miss Scarlet: Welcome to the Scarlet Lounge everyone, as you know I am Miss Scarlet. Nice to see there is so many of you so late, but i suppose you just couldn't wait but to get into the action.

There was a light laugh among the audience except the five of you.

Miss Scarlet: Now who will be first, who would like to take a challenge and take me on, to try and rip my shame by reviling my identity and taking the title of winner along with a cash prize

Tyson: What's the challenge?

Tyson whispered to Mr D

Mr D: Well-

Suddenly a man from the audience stood up and you saw he held something rather shiny in his hand.

Miss Scarlet: Come on down then Sir

He did as he was told, and he came down and stood next to her, with the cage behind them

She then gave the mic back to that man

Man4: The match will begin in a few minutes' ladies and gentlemen so brace yourselves

Then the door to the cage opened and they both stepped in, and then suddenly lights went on as you all saw a huge flat screen TV behind them showing them from a camera

Miss Scarlet: Got a name my dear boy?

Man: Just call me Raven

Miss Scarlet: Very well Raven, I'm sorry to say but your visions of winning are only visions

Raven: I don't think so Missy, you may have beaten many before me, but your winning streak ends here

Miss S: Oh, I'm so worried (!)

You smiled at her humour

Mr D: Now boys, this is the part that I'm sure will get your attention
