Sorry for the wait, I've been working on Unity. For all of the trouble you guys get 3 episodes. Sorry if they're a bit short.
Chapter 7: The Underground Tournament
A day has passed since the fateful battle against Shinei. Now Rei had ending up staying or at his house!
Rei: Good morning....this place is huge! Surely you don't own it right? Where are your parents?
(Shinei seemed to wince.) Shinei: I have Father, Mother, and Sister. My Dad's a work drone, he's always working and rarely comes home.
Rei: Where are your other family members?
Shinei: Out of country.
Rei: So you have a Mom and sister overseas?
Shinei: Yeah, they left for work...or something like that.
(Rei looked at Shinei. He seemed kind of sad. His Artemis slipped out of his hand, and was quickly swept up by Shinei.)
Rei: Hold on, what are you doing to Artemis?
Shinei: Calm down. I'll upgrade your Bey from a homemade top to an actual Beyblade. Using professional materials, like the old Apex Beyblades.
Rei: How do you have access to that?
(Shinei simply walked off.)
Rei: This guy's weird...what if he's an Apex spy! I'll have to be sure to not tell him much info then.
(Rei tried his best to tail Shinei without being noticed. Shinei arrived at a work area where Artemis was scanned before being concealed by a box.)
Shinei: You can come out now, Rei.
Rei: Oh uh....fine, I guess I'm not good at sneaking around. So, um...cold you tell me about Big City? Or something like that? I'm new here.
Shinei: We're currently in the rich parts of Big City. By the way, it's real name is Apex Pathway. They just settled on a more generic, "friendlier" name in the end.
(Rei was happy for the info, but still confused as to why he knows so much stuff about Apex, and how he has their materials. The machine beeped, and the box lifted up, to reveal a Beyblade.)
Rei: Woah, Artemis! There's no wood, or metal...It's like a Beyblade they sold in stores! How'd you due that?
Shinei: You talk to much, man. (Shinei walked away, annoyed with how much Rei was blabbering. Rei still wanted answers.)
Rei: Oh c'mon, please tell me. We leave together right. We should know each other well.
(Shinei stopped for a moment.) Shinei: Fine. My Dad works at Apex, we happen to have a leftover Bey Maker from during the recall. I know, ironic since I'm a Blader. It's a pain to keep stuff secret form him, but whatever.
Rei: Oh I see! Sticky situation, but it's probably not hard to Blade since he's rarely home, right? Speaking of Blading, when do we get to battle?
Shinei: There's an Underground Tournament happening next week. There's one spot left, so you can enter. It actually happens to be underground, unlike other events it's not just a name for the backstreets. Due to this it's easily one of the safest places to blade.
Rei: Woah! Alright, We're in! Me an Artemis will wipe the floor with you in the finals, you hear that?
Shinei: That's not how it works. It's a team tournament. By one spot, I meant one team.
Rei: Oh, well we can just team up, right?
Shinei: Even if I wanted to work with you, We need 3 members.
Rei: So we can just find one? I don't know why you're bein so stingy, it can't be that hard.
Shinei: Whatever. If you can find a team member, I'll join your team.
Rei: You have a deal Shinei!
Chapter 8: Making a Team
(Rei was stumbling through the backstreets. He needed a team member, but everyone was turning him down. He eventually finds a girl.)
Rei: Oh hey, you, what's your name!
Kira: Oh hi, I'm Kira!
Rei: Wanna join my Blading team for the Underground Tournament! If you join the team will be completed!
Kira: Fine, but only if you beat me in a match!
Rei: Fine, but I won't lose you know!
(They go to a stadium and launch their beys.)
Kira: Nemesis, take the center!
(Kira's Beyblade Hollow Nemesis took the center, followed quickly by Artemis.)
Rei: Knock em out! (Artemis attacks, but gets deflected due to the free spinning ring.)
Rei: Oh no, Artemis! Time to build up speed! (Artemis hits the rim of the stadium, then goes for a barrage to hopefully push Nemesis out of the stadium.)
(Artemis dashes straight towards Nemesis, but is swiftly moves out of the way.)
Kira: No friction means maximum speed! Counter, now! Smooth Rush!
(Nemesis goes faster that Artemis, and smashes it into a wall. Rei seemed stuck, but realized that Artemis wasn't weak anymore. He needed to trust him.)
Rei: Artemis, you can do it! Unsheathe your sword and go beyond! Radiant Slash!
(Artemis's metal was no longer chunks, it was intricately carved out to be high and curved. This curve let Radiant go above the ring of Hollow, and Artemis smashed Nemesis out of the stadium.)
Rei: I- I did it! Ah right! So, you're officially apart of the team!
Kira: I lost, so fine. But I gotta go!
(Kira quickly left, with a fiery passion in her eyes.)
Rei: There she goes I guess...oh well. Can't wait to brag to Shinei!
[SPECIAL] Chapter 9: Lone Wolf
Shinei: So you did it huh? Good for you, I guess I'm in.
(Shinei looked at Rei. He seemed for confident with his Beyblade. He's certainly trustable, so him being a teammate shouldn't be terrible. The clock ticked down. Shinei sat at a table, it was already evening. His heart hurt, a looming sense of dread crept over him. He wanted to let it out, but couldn't.)
Rei: Oh, hey dude. You good? (Shinei looked up with a sour expression on his face. He didn't want to share thoughts with someone who's essentially a stranger, but he needed to vent.)
Shinei: No, I'm not good. My deadbeat Dad never comes home and the only people I love are gone. I'm alone......
Rei: Oh...well, i can understand. I've only ever had my Grandpa my entire life, but recently he passed away. But, with Artemis, I-
Shinei: This isn't a game, a stupid top won't help! If you really understand, that what did you do?!
(Shinei started yelling. he looked like he was about to cry.)
Shinei: What did you do when you were alone, when you lost everything.
(Rei relived bad memories, before coming to the conclusion. Rei let out a sad smile.)
Rei: I cried. That's all I could do. Cry away my sorrows. You looks like you're holding in a lot, so you should too. It helps. I'll leave you be.
(Rei left and Shinei looked at the table. He never moved on. He couldn't. But, he just couldn't hold on to the pain any longer. He wept, as Rei peacefully watched TV in his room.)
