Chapter 0: Prologue
Standing alone in a darkened room, a girl of about 14 held a bow in her hands. Seen from afar, it seems like a regular bow used to shoot arrows, but when looking closely, a winder-like object connects the string with the body.
She stood with the stance of a predator, waiting the right time to release her attack.
A sudden sound alerted her and her hands immediately brought up the bow she was carrying.
With a zooming sound, she triggered the hidden compartment inside the body of the bow to release her weapon.
Her beyblade swerved around her before suddenly jumping up and attacking the source of the sound.
A split second later, five other beyblades, like the girl's own, except colored green, were laying in halves on the floor.
The other beyblade was still spinning full force as it jumped into the girl's hands.
"Good work Zenborg." The girl said as she regarded her blade. It was colored black and white with a silver shine on the sharp attack ring edges. In her blade's center tip, there was a snow-white swan with golden armor and razor-sharp claws.
Just then, lights flashed on, revealing the room as a large training facility. There were mechanical arms everywhere each attached with a custom training beyblade colored green like the ones laying at the girl's feet. These arms were sticking out in dozens from the wall of the room.
The girl wore a black elbow-length sweater with a pair of dark blue track pants. As she turned around to look behind her, it is seen that she is wearing crescent moon earrings, one black and the other white.
A large TV screen then turned on showing a masked man with half his face in the shadows. The girl, who had turned around, bowed and kneeled on the ground in front of the screen.
"You have improved, Kazuki," the man said, "I suppose you are ready?"
"I am ready when you want me to," the girl said in a monotone, "no matter what you wish for me to do, I will try my best to please you."
"Good," the man says, "I have complete faith in your skills."
"Thank you," the girl says without looking up.
"You will be called to the testing center this afternoon. Master Voltaire will be there to see your results."
"I won't disappoint you," the girl said as she stood up and looked at the screen.
The man smiled and the screen turned off.
"Father." The girl whispered with bitterness before a dark shadow passed over her face and she silently walked out of the room.
----------
"I won't disappoint you," the voice of Kazuki came drifting out of the screen in Boris Balkov's office.
Boris sat in his office chair and smiled at the girl looking up at him, then turned off the screen.
As he turned around in his chair, his face came out of the shadows, showing a man of about 35. He had dark purple hair, while a black mask in the shape of a bat covered his eyes and replaced them with two red lenses. His clothes were those of a scientist, a purple lab coat with white edges.
A pleased smile was still on his face when two men entered his office. The two men were both in identical robes that covered most of their body except for their noses, mouth and hands.
"The four boys are ready to begin," one of them said, bowing.
"Good," says Boris, "I will be down in a few minutes."
"Sir," the other man said, though reluctantly, "are you sure the girl is ready for this? I have seen those four tear up the blades of all of our beginner players and that girl has only been training for two months."
"My daughter says she's ready and I agree," Boris replied with a menacing tone.
"Of course sir," the second man said with fear in his voice, bowing apologetically.
Smiling coldly as the two men left, Boris added to himself, "And if she doesn't, she'll suffer the same consequences as Alexander did,"
----------
With amazing speed, a blue beyblade spun towards a bridge along the shore of a narrow river.
Upon reaching the stone structure, it jumped up and climbed up the wall vertically without much effort.
When it reached the top, its rotation speed increased and it skipped over to spin upside-down on the bottom of the bridge.
After staying in that position for five minutes, a voice called out, "That's enough Dranzer," and it obediently flipped off the bridge, heading towards the voice.
As it neared, its master, a boy with blue spiky hair and mahogany eyes held out his hand.
It leaped into the blue-haired boy's hand and stopped spinning.
The boy sported a black sleeveless shirt with a scarf tied around his neck and blue, baggy pants that had pockets on two sides. Red and gray arm guards protected his arms and ended in sharp fins.
His reddish-brown eyes were concentrated on his Beyblade as it jumped into his outstretched hands. He smiled satisfactorily and looked at the flaming red phoenix glowing in the center of his Beyblade.
"You've improved Dranzer," he praised. He stood looking at his Beyblade for some time and was just about to launch it again when a voice called out to him.
"Hey Kai! How are ya doing?"
