//------------------------------// // 7. Beyblade Underground! The king Of Town! // Story: Beyblade Burst Equestria Girls // by Chacorn //------------------------------// "Now, Rainbow Strike" Rainbow called and then Robin called "Crash Breaker" and with that they both collided their Beys and after a couple of seconds the Pegasus flew up and burst. "Crash Drago with a Burst Finish, Robin wins" Twilight said and then Rainbow said "Oh come on. again" With that Robin walked up to her and said "Come on Rainbow, if you just collapse like that you'll never get stronger" "Easy for you to say. You're so good you've probably never lost before" Rainbow said but then Robin replied "That's not true. In the beginning I lost several times. Do you know it took me two months before I got my first burst" "What" everyone said in surprise. Over the past few days, Robin has been almost unbeatable. The only one who had managed to win against him was Sunset and the only thing that came close was Amelia. "Yeah. But know what I did after each loss?" Robin asks. They shook their heads and then Robin replied "I got up and continued practicing" With that, Rainbow picked up the pieces of Pegasus and put them together. With that she turned to Robin and said "let's go again" Robin smiled and said "Yeah that's the spirit" But before he started, Amelia came running and shouted "Robin, we have to pack, Now" Robin held up his hands and said "Wow, wow, chill. What's going on?" and then Amelia said "Have you forgotten what's happening in a week back home?" Robin thought for a moment and then he opened his eyes and said "Oh now I remember. We have to hurry" and then they both rushed to pack. But then Sunset grabbed their arms and said "Hey, slow down. What's going on?" And with that, they both turned around. "We have to hurry home" Amelia said, getting everyone's attention. "What do you mean sugarcube?" Applejack asked and then Fluttershy said "Are you guys going to leave us?" But then Amelia shook her head. "No No. we just have to go away for a while." she said then Twilight asked "Why? Has something happened?" "Not exactly. Listen, there's a lot to explain and we don't have much time" Robin said but then Sunset said "Hey, Why don't we come with you?" and that surprised everyone. "Yeah, I've always wanted to come to the Beyblade world" Rainbow said and the other quickly agreed then Amelia said "Wait a minute. It's a long trip to our home town and it's going to be a while before we get back . I don't know if-" but then she was interrupted by Robin's hand. "Hey, why don't we let them come along? They've been kind enough to show us their world. So it's only right that we do the same," said Robin. Amelia tried to object but then Pinkie came up with her puppy eyes and said "Please" With that, Amelia sighed and said "urg, okay. You can come along" and then everyone cheered. "How long will we be gone?" asked Twilight and then Amelia replied "Around two weeks" With that, everyone rushed off to convince their parents to let them come along except for Sunset. "Aren't you going to persuade your parents?" asked Robin but then Sunset looked at the ground and said "They're back home where I'm from. I don't have any family members here" Robin and Amelia looked at Sunset with concern but then Sunset shook her head and said "It's fine, really. I'll go pack" and with that she dashed off leaving the two siblings to themselves. "Was it just me or is there something she's not telling us?" Amelia asked and then Robin replied "It seems so. But we shouldn't intrude. It seems personal" and Amelia agreed but was still wondering what Sunset hadn't said. It had been a few days but everyone had managed to convince their parents to let them come to Amelia and Robin's home world. Fortunately, the portal was only a bus ride away and after the security check, the Rainbooms had taken their first step into the world of Beyblade. When it arrived, it took one bus to get to the airport. After they got there and had lunch, they took their flight. And after a couple of long hours of flying, they landed in the Nordic European country of Sweden. After another bus trip they stopped in a small town and then Amelia said "Ahh, Home Sweet Home" and looked around and it was quiet. "So this is where you're from" Twilight said and Amelia and Robin nodded. The city is nice with different parks with several beystadiums. However, there was one thing that was unusual. There were no bladers out or any kids. "Where is everyone?" Pinkie asked and then Amelia and Robin started walking and then Robin said "Come along we'll show you around" and then everyone started walking with the siblings. As they were walking they passed a park with a stadium and when Rainbow saw it she said "Hey how about a game anyone?" and pointed to the stage. "I will" said Pinkie but then Robin and Amelia shouted "NO" The Main 7 looked at them in surprise and then they lowered their voices and then Amelia said "Sorry, but we can't use these stadiums" The girls looked at the siblings in confusion and then Sunset asked "Why not?" Amelia scratched her head and then Robin said "We're on our way to a special place. We promise to explain everything there. But until then we can't use any of the stadiums in the parks" The main 7 were still looking at them in confusion but then it turned around and Amelia said "We should continue" and started walking with Robin and the others right behind her. But Rainbow grabbed Pinkie's arm and covered her mouth. When the other one had taken a bite out Rainbow took her hand away from Pinkie and she asked "What are you doing Dashie?" "Don't worry Pinkie. We're just going to have a quick run okay" Rainbow said pulling Pinkie along. But what they didn't know was that someone had caught sight of them. The other continued walking for a while but then Applejack asked "Hey where's Dash and Pinkie?" With that, the others turned to see that their friends were gone. "You don't think?" asked Amelia and then Robin said "Oh No, we have to hurry before he finds them" and then the two rushed back with the other right behind. The person who had put Rainbow and Pinkie up walked up to them and said "Sorry girls" With that they both turned to the person. It was a man a little older than them. He had blond hair, dark gray eyes, an expensive leather jacket and a gold necklace with a bey in it. "But you can't use the stadium here" he said and then Rainbow said "And why not?" With that the guy smiled suspiciously and said "Because all the parks belong to me so I decide everything" Rainbow got annoyed and said "That's ridiculous, Anyone can Beyblade anywhere" but at that the boy laughed and said "You don't seem to be from around here. I'm Dvayin Richson. the son of David Richson. The one who owns every house in the city. I can do whatever I want" Rainbow got angry and said "You can't just decide where to use a stadium just because your dad has a little money" and then Pinkie said "Exactly. Don't be a jerk" With that Dvayin looked at Pinkie and said "Shut up Hair mess" and that made Pinkie sad. "Alright, That was the final straw. No one hurts my friend without facing the consequences. Time for Rainbow Pegasus to school you" Rainbow called, holding up her Bey. Dvayin looked at Rainbow and said "Sure But you'll regret it soon" and then they both took out their Launchers. "This is your last chance to back out" Dvayin said, holding out his Bey. It had six small silver leaves between six larger golden ones. In the center it had a golden human-like figure with silver details and a blue eye. Ps: Officially it's called Gilded Balderov. But I call it Golden Shogun. "Okay Ready, Set" Pinkie said and so the countdown began. "3... 2... 1... Let it, Rip!" shouted both of them and both Beys flew off with Pegasus going in for an attack with Shogun going for the center. "Go Pegasus, Rainbow Launch" Rainbow shouted and Pegasus attacked several times but Shogun was unaffected by the attacks. "Oh my. Peasant attacks like that will never succeed in stopping my Golden Shogun" said Dvayin mockingly. "Oh that we'll be two about" Rainbow said, starting to glow with cyan energy. "Now Pegasus" she called and her bey gave off its energy and its avatar appeared. "Now, Rainbow Strike" Rainbow called and Pegasus dived straight at Shogun. The attack was strong enough that Shogun flew out of the center. "Now my shining Bey" said Dvayin and then his bey was surrounded by a golden energy. With that, it used the wheels on the tip to drift to the side and then again straight towards the pegasus. "A Shimmering Finish. Golden Counter" Dvayin shouted and with that the Shogun slammed into the Pegasus causing it to burst. Rainbow and Pinkie looked on in shock at Pegasus' loss. When Rainbow was going to pick up the parts of Pegasus, Dvayin picked up the top part. "Hey, that one's mine" Rainbow said but Dvayin laughed and said "I told you so. I decide here, and any Beys I defeat will be mine" "That's not how it works" Rainbow said, but Dvayin just ignored her. "It's not even worth the effort. Not even as a trophy," Dvayin said, then looked at a trash can. "That's all it's good for," Dvayin said, pulling his arm back. "No stop" Rainbow shouted but Dvayin continued saying "is throwing it away" and tried to throw Rainbow's bey. But just then someone grabbed Dvayin’s arm. "That's enough Dvayin" said Robin, clutching Dvayin's arm hard. "Robin" Said the two girls and immediately after came the other. Dvayin looked at Robin and gave a sly grin. "Robin Kings. You decided to stop running away, I see" Dvayin said. "You're the one who'll be running away soon" Robin said, yanking Rainbow's bey out of Dvayin's hand. "So you think you can actually beat me? I guess all poor people can do is dream" Dvayin said but then Robin said "Count on this. In 3 days I'll break that attitude of yours" Just then a limousine drove up and then Dvayin said "Sorry but my ride is here" and went towards the car and opened the door. "Take a good look at your Bey. You'll soon never see it again" he said and got into the car which then drove away. "Grr, I hate that guy" Amelia said and Robin then said "Agreed" After that he walked over to Rainbow and gave her Pegasus back. "Thanks" she said and then Applejack asked "Who what?" "Dvayin Richson. The snobbiest and most annoying kid in town" Amelia said and then Robin said "Come on. We're going where we won't be interrupted" and then everyone started walking again. After a while they came to an alley. Rarity held her nose while Robin and Amelia checked to make sure no one was following them. When they had checked, they went up to a wooden box and two containers. Robin moved it to reveal a hatch and waved for the others to go through. When everyone was ready Amelia and Robin went through and pulled the box over to hide themselves. It went through a tunnel until it came to a metal door. Amelia knocked and a small hatch opened to reveal a pair of eyes. "Password" said a voice behind the door and Amelia replied "Blade in the shadows" "Right" said the voice and the door opened. "Rainbooms, Welcome to the Shadow BeyClub" Amelia said and behind the door appeared several kids who were together. Some danced to music, Others worked out with their beys and some sat at a bar and watched the TV. "What is this place?" Sunset asked. "This is where we Blade here" Robin said walking towards the bar with the others close behind. "Look. it's Robin" said one of the bladers. "Amelia is here too. but who are the new ones?" said another. The main 7 looked around and saw that Robin and Amelia were popular here. "Ah, The Kings siblings. You're back," said a young guy at the bar. "Hey Terry" the two said and each took a seat. "Well, who are your friends?" Terry asked and with that Robin introduced them and then said "Hey, did you get anything new?" "You can go for it" Terry said and took out nine small glasses and poured a bottle into them and passed them to all nine of them. Robin and Amelia were the first to drink and then Robin said "Oh this is good. What is it?" Terry smiled and said "It's Apple Cider. It's from a farm in the other world called Sweet Apple Acres" When Applejack said that she said "Wait a little apple a minute. That's my farm" Terry looked at Applejack said "Seriously" in surprise and then Robin and Amelia nodded. "Alright listen. I guess it's time to explain" Sunset said and with that Robin said. "Okay, here's how it is" and with that he began to explain. "In the beginning, everyone could Blade wherever they wanted. But when Dvayin got a Bey, he started bossing around everyone. He took Beys he liked, he destroyed some, he gave himself the title 'The king Of the Town'. No one wanted to do what he wanted, but he threatened to make his dad fire our parents or kick us out of our homes. We tried to make our own Bey club but he started lying about us running an illegal club and that we needed to stop." Robin explained. "Talk about selfish" Rainbow said and the other agreed. "Whatever. We didn't give up and decided to create our own underground Beyclub. And since it's secret, he has no proof and can't threaten us." Amelia explained. "Wow" said the main 7 and then Robin said "Terry, one more please" and Terry refilled the glass quickly. "But now we can finally put an end to his game." Robin said and that made them say "Huh" "Every year one of us gets the chance to challenge him for 'The King Of the Town' If we win we can use the stadiums in the parks again" Amelia explained. "So if we win against him. Then he can't take other people's Beys" Sunset said and then Rainbow said "Then I'll do this. I want some payback" "Unfortunately it doesn't work like that" Amelia said and that made everyone turn to her. "It can only work if it's someone from here. He will never accept if someone outside does it." Amelia said and then Rainbow sighed. "So, who will challenge him?" Twilight asked and with that Amelia turned to Robin and said "He will" Robin looked at Amelia and said "Don't worry I'll crush him" "Um, I don't mean this in a bad way. But wouldn't it be better if Amelia took this one" Twilight said and everyone turned to her. "If I didn't misunderstand, his bey is a defense type. A stamina type would be a better match, right?" she said but then Amelia said "That would be so but there are different rules about this one" "Oh, what is it?" Rarity asked. Then Robin said "The winner is the first to take three Burst Finishes" At that the main 7 were surprised. "Even if I can attack him hard, then I don't have enough power to burst him three times" Amelia said. "But since Drago is an attack type, Robin probably has the power to do it" Sunset said and then Robin and Amelia nodded. "In that case, let us help you train" Sunset said, holding up her Bey. "Yeah, let's help you take that jerk down a notch" Rainbow said. With that, Robin took his glass and drank the Apple Cider quickly. "Okay then we'll do this" he said and headed towards an empty stadium. It had been a couple of days of training and now it was time. It had arrived at the park where it was to battle and after a while Dvayin arrived with his limo. When he stepped out, he walked up to the stadium and said "Sorry I took my time. But nice people are late" with a cocky grin. With that, one of the children walked up to the stadium. "The rules are as follows. Call Out and Survival Finishes do not count. Only Burst Finishes count. First to three Burst Finishes wins 'The King Of the Town' title" he said and both nodded. "Okay, first battle" said the ref and held out his hand. Both got ready as Dvayin said "You know what sound I like the most. The sound when I smashed your bey last time. I wonder what sound your new Bey will make" Robin breathed in and out slowly and readied herself. "Ready, Set" the ref said, raising his hand. "3... 2... 1... Let it, Rip!" both shouted and Drago went in for an attack as Shogun made his way to the middle. "Go, Crash Launch" Robin shouted and the Drago delivered several attacks. "Is that all you got. You're letting me down Robin" Dvayin said. After a while, Drago met Shogun so it was sent away. "Now, Show them your Golden Counter" Dvayin shouted and Shogun slammed into Drago and sent it flying. With that, Robin started to roar and shouted "Drago" and with that, Drago glowed and its avatar appeared. Just then, Drago braked and circled behind the Shogun, heading straight for it. "NOW, Crash Counter" He shouted and Drago hit the Shogun causing it to burst. Dvayin gasped as the ref said "Crash Drago wins match one. It's 1-0" Everyone cheered and Sunset said "Yeah, the training worked" thinking about the training they had done before. (Flashback) It was now Applejack's turn to train with Robin. Drago had managed to knock Bull out of the center and Then Applejack shouted "Bull Counter" and Bull hit Drago with his horn sending it flying away. Drago managed to survive and managed to circle Bull precisely when Bull stopped. "One more time" Robin said, picking up his Bey. "Are you sure this will work?" Applejack asked. "Yes, if I can manage to make a counter attack to his counter, I'm sure I can burst him." Robin said with a smile. "Alright partner. Let's go again" Applejack said as the others watched. (End of Flashback) "It was just luck. Next time you'll lose" Dvayin said but the second march went the same way with Shogun bursting after a hit by Crash Counter. "Crash Drago wins match two. It's 2-0" said the ref and everyone cheered even more. "Grr, how can he not get mad?" Dvayin thought. Then he looked at Robin who gave a thumbs up to Sunset and the others. But then Dvayin thought of something and gave an evil grin. "I admit, I'm surprised you got so strong" Dvayin said and then Robin turned to him. "I mean with such weak and pathetic friends I'm impressed that you didn't become as pathetic" he said and then Robin started to get angry. Robin started to clench his fists and Dvayin just smiled. "Third Battle" said the ref and both got ready. But with that, Amelia noticed that Robin was a lot more tense. "3... 2... 1... Let it, Rip!" both shouted but Drago was moving completely uncontrollably. "Drago, what are you doing?" Robin shouted but Drago just moved like crazy and then Shogun managed to hit it causing it to burst. Everyone gasped and then the ref said "Golden Shogun wins game three. It's 2-1" Robin picked up Drago and said "I messed up, I need to relax" But then Dvayin said "What happened. Maybe you really have gotten weaker. With friends like them it's not strange" and then Robin got more tense. "What's up with Robin?" Rarity asked. "Yeah why is he so stiff?" Twilight asked and then Amelia replied "That's his bad habit" causing all seven to turn on her. "Robin has a habit of losing focus when he gets angry. He can't win when he's angry like that." Amelia said. "Why does he get mad? That jerk tried to taunt him earlier but Robin didn't get mad" Rainbow said. "It seems it's because he's talking bad about you guys" Amelia said and then the seven were confused. "Robin didn't usually form strong friendships with other kids but the bond with the seven of you is the strongest I've seen him form." Amelia explained and then they heard a bey burst and unluckily it was Drago. "Golden Shogun wins game four. It's 2-2" said the ref and Robin started to get worried. "If I screw up now I'll lose" he thought and then Dvayin said "Looks like you'll lose again. But then you'll fit in with your loser friends" Robin tensed up again but tried to control his anger. "He's just talking nonsense, don't listen" thought Robin but then a voice hardened. "Come on Robin. Beat him" Sunset called and then Robin turned to see his friends. "Don't listen to him. He doesn't know anything" Rainbow shouted. "Show him what you can do" Applejack shouted. "Robin, Robin" Pinkie started and after a while the others joined in and then everyone around. At that Robin smiled and thought "It's true, I have my friends here. I can win this. I can control my anger" "Talk about pathetic. As if cheering can help you now. I guess your friends aren't that bright" Dvayin said mockingly. "I'm not falling for it. Not this time" thought Robin and then the ref said "Fifth Battle" "Ready, Set" the ref said, raising his hand. "3... 2... 1... Let it, Rip!" Called both of them and both Beys went in do an attack. "Drago, Crash Launch" Robin shouted and Drago attacked hard. "I will not lose. I am a Richson. I am the best" Dvayin said and Shogun attacked several times. After a while, both were knocked out and both stepped up the slope. With that, the Shogun and both Beys raced straight towards each other. "Golden Counter" Dvayin shouted as Robin shouted "Crash Breaker" and both Beys collided. After a while Shogun pushed Drago away so it flew towards the wall and bounced upwards. "YES I WIN" Dvayin shouted believing that he had won. At that moment, Robin shouted "NOW, Drago" and reasoned with his Bey so Drago's avatar appeared. At that moment, Drago was surrounded by his crimson energy and dived straight towards Shogun. Robin roared and shouted "GO, Crash Dive" and Drago smacked right at Shogun sending sparks flying everywhere. With that the Shogun snapped and Dvayin gasped. "Crash Drago wins match five. It's 3-2, The new King Of The Town is Robin Kings" said the Ref and everyone started cheering. The Rainbooms and Amelia rushed up to Robin and congratulated him. "NO, NO, NO" Dvayin shouted, grabbing onto Drago. "Hey. Give that one here" Robin said but Dvayin just yelled "No one is king but me. And no one will use this Bey ever again" and then he raised his hand to throw Drago to the ground. “Dvayin Richson” came a dark clear voice. Everyone turned to see a man with a suit, blond hair and dark green eyes. Most people recognized him as David Richson. Dvayin's father. "Daddy?" Dvayin said in confusion. "What do you think you're doing?" Dvayin's father said, taking Drago out of his son's hand. "Is this your Bey?" he asked looking at Robin. "Um, yes sir" Robin said and then Dvayin's dad handed Robin's Bey back. "Sorry about my son" he said picking up the parts of the Shogun. "Dvayin. You said that if anyone could defeat you, you would give them your title. And a man never goes back on his word." he said to his son. "But dad" Dvayin tried but his dad interrupted saying "Get in the car. We're going to have a talk." and pointed to his car. Dvayin grunted and walked towards the car with his father behind him. the music was on and everyone in the Shadow BeyClub was dancing and partying that there was no need to hide anymore. Pinkie had managed to throw a party and everyone enjoyed it. Robin was at the bar having a soda when Sunset came up to him and asked "Aren't you going to dance?" Robin looked at her and said "Nah, I'm not much of a dancer" "Who cares, come on" she said grabbing Robin's arm and pulling him onto the dance floor. Robin tried to dance a little but was quickly swept up in the music and was soon fully dancing. It danced for a good while but then the TV turned on and showed Bey news. "Okay boys and girls. You're going to love this," said the communicator. Everyone's attention turned to the screen. "With the introduction of a new dimension, the time has come for a tournament that bladers from both worlds can be a part of. It is with great pleasure that I introduce The Sword Flame Cup" the announcer said showing a symbol of a golden sword surrounded by flames. "The Sword Flame Cup?" Sunset said in amazement and the others were intrigued. "But that's not all. Whoever manages to take home the win will also face one of our legends in a Bey battle" said the announcer and then the screen changed to show a huge man with brown pants, A red vest, a golden X necklace, Sharp teeth, red eyes and spiky red-orange hair. "It is one of the greatest bladers to have existed and has the strength to crush any challenge. It is The Laughing Giant, Xander Shakadera" said the announcer and everyone in the club started talking in surprise. "Robin. Who is this Xander?" Sunset asked and Robin replied "Xander is one of the strongest bladers out there. His Bey Xcalius is like a sword that destroys everything before it." Sunset looked at the screen and the commentator said "This is going to be another really spicy tournament. I can't wait" Sunset looked at Xander and said "This is going to be fun"
