Flicker of Radiance

Hiya all, this is yet ANOTHER deviation from 'A New World', because Dark Mrowlidash is an evil fiend who can't finish stories.

This is my first M rated fic on so go easy on me, although this isn't my first brush with such fiction, this is my first time posting such work.

Since I haven't seen all of Beyblade G-Revolution, I don't know the plot perfectly, so if something's off that you can forgive (about anything really, not just the beyblade stuff), by all means, do

I guess that's it.

Prologue: Reflections on the Battle Won

I stood there. The cameras were flashing, the roar of the crowd was sounding in my ear. I could hear the energetic voice of DJ Jazzman: "Winner, Miguel!"

But I was torn.

A part of me sided with my coach, I was the hero, I had brought victory to my team! But another part… was disgusted.

Disgusted at how low I'd stoop. I cheated. I cheated to defeat Ray, and every other opponent so far!

I was less than alive. I wasn't a true blader. I had no blader spirit. I was surprised my bitbeast could stand me. There was only one thing keeping me going. One person. And that person was holding my arm high, crowning me the champion for the crowd.

Coach Barthez. The man who made me who I was, the man who polished my beyblade skills and made me a star.

He did so much for me. So much. It was only right to do for him. Whatever he asked.

Even if it killed me.
