THIS IS A RIP-OFF OF POWER RANGERS AND A MAJOR (flop) MOVIE

“Toko! Toko! Wake up, sleepyhead!” Toko’s eyes opened slightly to see Nika shaking him. “Wake up! Raul is here!” Toko’s eyes shot open and he pushed her off his bed. Then he slid off the bed. He quickly realized he was just wearing his underwear and shirt and quickly grabbed the blanket. “Hey! Out of my room, Nika! I have to get dressed!”

Nika chuckled as she left the room. Toko sighed as he locked the door. Then he quickly changed and left the room. He was halfway out the door before he realized he forgot Screw Trident, so he spun around quickly and grabbed it. Nika was waiting outside the door.

“C’mon little bro!” Nika began running.

“Hey! I’m just as old as you! We’re twins!”

Nika shook her head as she ran.

Toko growled as he sped up and ran in front of her, going as fast as he could. Nika sighed.

“Showoff!”

Toko leapt into the air and seemed to float the rest of the way, before landing directly in front of Raul’s van.

“Ah, finally!” Raul opened the window and looked at Toko. His left eye, which was made of silver, lit up. A red light in the center appeared, like a red pupil. A thin laser shot from it and scanned Trident. “Interesting.”

He closed the window and then they could hear some shuffling around inside. When Raul opened the door, the van seemed much messier than usual. The floor was covered in wires and spare parts and there was a table in the center of the van. On the table was a large metal arm connecting a majority of the wires. The rest were connected to a computer that glowed brightly. Raul’s silver eye glowed red and shot a laser onto Trident again.

Suddenly, a blueprint of Trident appeared on the screen. Raul pulled out a stylus and began to write all over the screen. Nika burst through the door, breathing hard.

“Show, off” She panted.

Toko grinned. “What took you so long?”

Nika glared at him. “Come, on, lil, bro, be, nice!” She panted.

Toko laughed before he could help himself. Nika looked at Raul, who was watching them both. He grabbed the stylus again and added a few details to his drawing. Then he pushed a button and the mechanical arm grabbed Screw Trident and set it into a tank-like container in it’s core.

Toko looked at the arm in shock and then stepped towards Raul angrily.

“Hey, you wanted your bey evolved.” He responded. “And you, Nika! You need a bey too.”

Nika’s eyes widened. “Me?”

“Yes, you!” He quickly began sketching on the computer. He glanced sideways onto the wall, where a blackboard that they hadn’t noticed was attached to the van. Sketched on it were a few random creatures that Nika recognized as drawings of the beasts inside beyblades. Attached below each one was a small chip that contained the beast.

A pink one glowed to Nika. She pointed at it. “That is the one.” Raul chuckled. “Ah, Nyke. An attack type.” He began adding even more detail to the sketch on the computer before running to the board and grabbing the chip.

“Now go home, both of you! Go get some sleep and rest up. Tomorrow your beys will be ready!”

Toko sighed. “A whole day without Trident! Ugh!”

Raul grinned. “I’m sorry, but you’ll have to wait.”

Toko left and raced Nika home. Separated from Trident, Nika easily best him home.

“C’mon lil bro, what’s wrong?”

“I’M NOT YOUR LITTLE BROTHER!” He cried angrily and stormed to his room. He lay on the bed and sighed. He couldn’t stand being separated from Trident. Troubled by thoughts, he fell into a restless sleep.

“Lil bro, wake up,” Nika said in a singsong voice. Toko yawned as he opened his eyes to see Nika in his room again.

“C’mon, get outta my room, sis,” he said, tired.

“You don’t look so good, lil bro. I guess I’ll go alone to get my bey.”

Toko quickly woke up as though she had poured cold water on him. He quickly realized he was still in his normal clothes instead of a shirt and underwear and slid out of bed.

“Let’s go get Trident!” He ran out the door, leaving Nika behind. As he ran towards Raul’s van, he noticed somebody else talking to Raul, so he quickly stopped and held out his arm. Nika stopped just before slamming into him.

“Wait, is that-“

“Valt! You’re back!” Toko cried happily as he ran towards Raul’s van. Valt spun around and seemed surprised at seeing Toko and Nika.

“I thought you two always slept in late like me!” Valt teased.

Raul grinned. “Ah, my other two customers.”

“Wait, other?” Nika asked, before they both realized at the same time what was happening.

“Valtryek’s evolving!” They both said in unison.

“Speaking of evolutions, here you go!” Raul tossed a small yellow object out the window, which Toko quickly caught.

“And one for the lady,” Raul said as he tossed another bey into the air, which Nika caught.

“Your beys are part of the Fusion system! That means that they feature specialized Core drivers and Fusion layers that have the ability to combine with other beys!”

“Fusion?” Valt, Nika, and Toko all cried in unison.

Raul grinned. “Yup, give ‘em a try! Oh yeah, I almost forgot about you, Valt!” He tossed a blue bey to Valt, who caught it. “Meet Hydro Trident, Victor Nyke, and Electric Valkyrie!”

Toko looked at Trident, and then the layer slid apart into two pieces, one larger than the other. “Raul, I think my bey broke!” He said as he handed Raul the parts. Raul grinned.

“That’s the Fusion part! Nika, toss me Nyke!” Nika tossed Nyke through the window to Raul, who slid the layer apart into two pieces. Then he grabbed the smaller one of Trident’s pieces and slid it onto Nyke and slid the smaller piece of Nyke onto the larger part of Trident. “Now it is Hydro Nyke and Victor Trident!” He proceeded to remove part of each tip and swapped them. “Now they are fused! All you have to do is switch them back!” Raul fixed them and tossed them both back to their owners.

“Toko and Nika, do you want to battle me?” Valt asked.

“Of course, big bro!” Nika responded. Toko wasn’t nearly as enthusiastic and responded, “Sure.”

Raul vanished from the window and they could hear shuffling before a wide grey disc went flying out the window. Once it landed they realized it was a stadium. Raul returned to the window. “Well? What are you waiting for?”

“Three! Two! One! Let it...

Rip!” They all launched. Trident quickly glided into the center. Valkyrie and Nyke both shot around the stadium as though they were chasing each other.

“Go! Electric Rush!” Valt cried as Valkyrie began to shoot up and down the slope of the stadium, gaining speed as it began to launch a rapid series of looping attacks on Trident. Then it zoomed in for a final blow that burst Trident almost effortlessly.

Toko and Nika gasped in unison. “Now, attack Nyke!” Valkyrie zoomed around the stadium ridge and then struck Nyke from behind, flinging it into the air. Nika reached out to catch Nyke, but it burst midair and she only caught the disc.

Valt grinned at the victory. “Sorry, guys.”

Toko frowned. “Man, I was hoping for a win.” Then he smiled and gained a twinkle to his eyes. “But I’ll win next time!”

Nika smiled. “No, I will!”

Toko yawned as he sat up. “Is it morning yet?” He muttered as he glanced at the clock. It glowed brightly, almost too brightly for him while he was sleepy. He rubbed his eyes and saw it was 9:40 AM.

Toko realized how late he had slept in and quickly whipped the blanket off and began getting dressed. Then he remembered it was a weekend, so he was fine.

Three knocks rang out on his bedroom door. “Are you decent?” He heard Nika ask. “Either way, I’m coming in.” She came in with her hand over her eyes, but she was clearly peeking through. “Oh good, you’re decent. Did you hear the news?”

Toko looked at her, bemused. “You realize I’ve been asleep, right?”

She laughed. “Of course you wouldn’t know! The Primal Cup is beginning!”

He raised an eyebrow. “Primal?”

She grinned. “Oh right, you aren’t in the loop! The winner of the tournament gets to challenge Blair Pai! He is a famous Blader who uses Primal Betromoth, a vicious attack type, and the top Blader in Africa!”

“Primal Betromoth! Africa! Hold on! I haven’t even had breakfast!” He quickly made some cereal and swallowed it as fast as he could.

“Alright-“ he coughed, “where can I register for this?”

“Oh, registration starts at 10, so in about a-“ A loud beeping alarm cut her off.

“Ohmygosh! The registration is about to start without us! Race ya there lil bro!”

Toko growled as he ran after her. Thinking about being late, he leaned down and sped up, running as fast as possible.

“Hey, slow down bro!” He ignored her and as a result, nearly smashed into the building.

Toko noticed all the vibrant purple posters on the walls advertising the tournament and realized Nika had been right. Nika grinned as she sped past him through the door. “Looks like you lose lil bro!”

Toko glared as he entered the room, and then nearly slammed into a Blader. “Back of the line, losers,” someone sneered from in the line, and they both listened.

Toko and Nika were stuck in the line for quite some time, which was rather boring and slow. When they finally made it to the front they found a computer with a small camera attached. It flashed and took a picture of each, before sending out a laser that scanned their beys.

“Next.” An automated voice said.

They left the line and went to the waiting room and, well, waited. Minutes passed very slowly as everyone in the room waited. The room slowly filled up until it was finally 12:00 PM. “Welcome, Bladers and welcome all to the Primal Cup! Each match will be first to three points! First up we have Toko Aoi and his Hydro Trident vs. Drake Allen and his Assassin Deathscyther!”

Toko grinned as he began leaving. “All right Nika! Wish me luck!”

Nika smiled. “Nah!”

Toko glared at her before he left. Then he walked up to the stadium. “Alright, Drake! Think you can take on me and Trident?”

Drake walked up to the stadium, and Toko got his first good look at his opponent. Drake was slightly taller than he was, but he was also very scrawny and wore a black jacket and black jeans. Under the jacket was a grey shirt.

His eyes glowed evilly, his purple irises bright. “Not only can I take you on, but I’ll easily beat you!”

Toko glared at him. “Let’s start this match already! Three! Two! One! Let it...

“Rip!” And with that, they launched. Trident smoothly glided into the center, while Deathscyther was shooting around the stadium at extreme speed.

“That isn’t enough! Faster!” Deathscyther sped up even more, it’s vibrant purple trail glowing even brighter. “Now! Deathscyther! Assassin Strike!” It’s scythe glowed a sickly shade of purple as it struck Trident. They clashed for a moment. “Come on Trident! Hang in there!”

Trident was flung into the air, but it was not knocked high enough and bounced off the wall of the stadium, wobbling towards the center.

“Hahaha! We have him right where we want him! End this, Deathscyther!”

Deathscyther began quickly circling the center of the stadium, waiting for Trident to meet it. As soon as Trident wobbled in, Deathscyther quickly struck and burst it, sending its pieces flying.

“I told you we would win! You should just give up while you’re losing!”

Toko frowned as he looked down at the parts in his hand. “Trident? What’s wrong?”

It gleamed. “Oh, I see.”

It gleamed again. Toko gasped as he looked back up. “I know what I need to do!”

“Three! Two! One! Let it...”

“Rip!” Toko quickly angled his launcher. Trident began gliding around the stadium before taking the center again. Deathscyther began speeding around the stadium again as well. “It looks like we’ll have a repeat of last round!” Hanami announced.

Toko grinned. “Not this time! Hydro Launch!” Trident began to move, forming a quick and tight circle around the center.

“You think your little tricks can beat me? Hahahaha! Assassin Strike!”

Deathscyther’s scythe glowed a sickly shade of purple as it hit the ridge of the stadium, gaining speed quickly. Then it jumped off the ridge and shot towards Trident.

“Look at that amazing speed! I don’t even think a defense type could handle that attack!” Hanami cried, clearly impressed.

As Deathscyther drew nearer, Trident’s circling continued. They got very close, Trident appearing to brace for an attack. “Now! Go Trident!” Trident suddenly barely dodged Deathscyther, who became unable to stop and slammed into a wall.

“How did Trident dodge that attack?!” Hanami cried in surprise.

Deathscyther began wobbling back towards the center. Trident waited in the center for Deathscyther. When they finally collided, Deathscyther quickly rolled to a halt.

Drake quickly grabbed Deathscyther with a foul look on his face. “That was just a fluke.”

Toko grinned. “Nah, that was a victory!”

Drake frowned. “Just begin already! Three! Two! One! Let it...

Rip!” Drake and Toko both tilted their launchers. Trident shot towards the center at an angle, quickly orbiting the center in a tight circle. This time, Deathscyther was moving in an erratic pattern. Then it swooped in and struck Trident, sending it up the stadium’s slope.

“Hang on, Trident! Pull back to the center with the Hydro Launch!”

Drake grinned evilly. “Your weak ‘moves’ can’t handle our power! Deathscyther, strike again with Assassin Launch!”

Deathscyther suddenly swung up the stadium, bounced off the wall, and shot towards Trident, sending it flying. Like before, it hung on, but this time it wasn’t wobbling as much. Then Deathscyther began shooting back in again.

“Hang in there! Counter it with our Hydro Twist!” Three of Trident’s wave-shaped protrusions glowed blue. When Deathscyther struck, the wave spun, diverting the force away.

Drake gasped. “Would you look at that folks! Trident is defending against those powerful attacks!” Hanami announced in surprise.

Each of Deathscyther’s attacks were diverted repeatedly, and it began to wobble back in for a final attack.

“End this, Trident!” Deathscyther struck a wave and was flung into the air, bursting midair.

Drake frowned. “You must’ve cheated!” He grabbed Deathscyther and stormed away.

“It looks like Toko Aoi progresses in the cup! Next up is Corey Sharp vs Nicholas Steele!”

Corey Sharp walked up to the stadium. He had short blond hair, wore a green jacket and pale yellow khakis, and had dull yellow eyes. “Three! Two! One! Let it...

Rip!” Corey and Nicholas both launched. “Let’s go, Cockatris! Screeching Bolt!” Corey called out. His bey, a yellow and green balance type, quickly sped up and struck Nicholas’ bey, easily bursting the generic bey.

“C’mon, at least put up a fight! Three! Two! One! Let it... Rip!” Cockatris bolted around the stadium. “Again! Screeching Bolt!” Cockatris quickly burst Nicholas’ Noctemis N3 1Glaive Accel combo.

Corey picked up his bey. “Well, that was easy!” He walked away grinning, while Nicholas sadly picked up the parts and left. “It appears Round 2 will start off with Toko Aoi vs Corey Sharp! That will be an interesting battle! However, our next battle will be...”

Toko stopped paying attention to Hanami as he waited with Nika. “When will I get to battle?” She said, bored. “Almost there, sis. Wait a little longer.”

Finally, he called her name. “Its time for the final battle of Round 1! Nika Aoi vs Ken Midori!”

Nika walked to the stadium. “Hey, Ken! A pleasure seeing you here!”

Ken looked at her. “Just because we are friends doesn’t mean I’ll go easy on you! Meet Chain Kerbeus! Three! Two! One! Let it...

Rip!” Kerbeus took the center, while Nyke shot around the stadium and struck Kerbeus, flinging it into the air. Ken easily caught it. “Interesting.” He muttered to himself, studying Kerbeus. “Three! Two! One! Let it...

Rip!” Kerbeus quickly shot into the center. Nyke zoomed around the stadium at a very high speed. “Nyke! Attack!” Nyke quickly swung towards the center and struck Kerbeus.

“Go, Kerbeus! Steel Wall!” Kerbeus was pushed to the side, before the metal wings on the driver hit the stadium, causing it to suddenly snap back upright, sending Nyke flying out of the stadium. Midair, it burst.

Ken picked up Kerbeus. “That was pretty easy!” Keru said from his hand. “Be nice, Keru. Three! Two! One! Let it...

Rip!” Kerbeus quickly took the center, while Nyke zoomed around the stadium. “Attack! Nyke!” Nyke swung in for an attack, slamming into Kerbeus, pushing it against the stadium. “Now! Counter that attack with Steel Wall!” Kerbeus snapped back upright, sending Nyke up the stadium slope. “Hold on, Nyke! Let’s attack again!”

Nyke swung back down the stadium, striking Kerbeus again. However, it still could not do any damage because of Kerbeus’ Steel Wall move. “Full power, Nyke! Victory Strike!” Nyke struck Kerbeus, one of its wings springing out as it clashed with Kerbeus, pushing it against the stadium slope. “Hang on, Kerbeus! Steel Wall!” They kept clashing for a moment, before both burst.

“Wow! What an exciting battle! What will the ref call?!”

The referee considered it, before coming to a conclusion. “Nika Aoi the round with a burst finish, making the score 3-2! Nika Aoi wins the match!”

“Alright folks! After those exciting matches, Round 2 will start off with Toko Aoi vs Corey Sharp! Go home, practice, and get rested up for tomorrow!”
