Let it Rip!!!

The world appeared to him as a mass of spiritual current.

Kai's skin became blue. His long white hair fluttered as the puffs of steam hit them from below. A ghastly-looking blood-colored oval gem appeared in the middle of his forehead. And when he opened his eyes, they shone hazel, with the lightest touch of red.

Kai brought up his hands to look at them. They were webbed and had sharp claws. Inside his shoes, he could feel the same webbing in-between his toes. Kai's head twisted to look behind. A long, slim but powerful blue tail was snapping furiously attached to him.

Crack!

He felt it again. The strong spiritual currents. In a zone of the 10-meter radius with him as the center, they were everywhere.

The notification appeared then.

Kai took a deep breath. He could smell the water and his high affinity for it. He could also sense the smoothness of his body, his rippling muscles. And he could taste the raging emotions of the Pokemon Trainer.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Carl bellowed, taking out a longsword. He lunged at Kai, raising the sword high, his face becoming purple with anger. Behind him, the Spinning Duos' faces were pale too. Their Beyblades were already in the shooters, ready to be launched. But they didn't.

It was obvious they wanted to test Kai out using Carl. With his single Pokemon gone, Carl was as useless as the boulder they were standing on.

'Very well,' Kai thought, grinning. 'Have a taste of it, then.'

Kai's blue tail thrashed, the rocky ground caving in at the impact. The moment Carl entered within 10 meters, the blood-colored oval gem shone and Kai found he could control these spiritual currents.

A red-colored layer encased Carl's body, and he left the ground, levitating under the affect of some unknown force.

"What's happening?!" the Pokemon Trainer shouted. "Let me down! Lee, help me!"

But no matter what or how he roared, Carl couldn't do anything. Like a puppet controlled by unseen strings, he floated towards Kai.

Kai grabbed Carl's neck, his long claws digging deep inside his skin. He couldn't help but notice the enormous disparity in physical Stats between this Pokemon Trainer and Heavy Block. Kai sucked deep, his breath rattling, as he sucked Happiness. Carl's knee buckled, and he dropped to his knees.

Kai looked at the Spinning Duos, who were looking at him with a terrifying fascination. This show was for them. And Kai's performance had never steered away from bloodiness and gore.

Kai parted Carl's mouth using Telekinesis. He brought his mouth over Carl's mouth and took a deep breath.

All around Kai's body, a light bubbly blue glow appeared as his 50 MP vanished from his backpack instantly. And then he fired it directly into Carl.

A thick pillar of water with power over twice that of a fire hose escaped Kai's mouth and blasted into Carl's throat. Carl's neck bent, the back of his head almost touching his back. On and on, the water kept going inside him, his stomach ballooning up at a visible speed. And when it seemed Kai was finished, Carl exploded.

It wasn't a booming sound, but it was more like a bucket of mud bursting apart. Carl's entrails, organs, and bones got washed away along with the water. Kai lifted his head, with his victim's upper half still grasped by the neck.

This… was enough.

Both the boy and the girl jumped off the boulder and stopped some 50 meters away from Kai. The boy had long brown hair tied into a ponytail, and his eyes were brown. He was wearing a black-colored changshan over black trousers. The girl's hair shone almost pink. She was wearing a white changshan with pink stripes at the edges. Her trousers were white, and she had a cat-like appearance.

Kai had seen them fighting with each other on the holographic video screen. The things he had first thought of as toys had turned out to be the most lethal weapon he had ever seen after coming here. These things, called Beyblades, housed spirits of magical beasts, which then can be brought out of the Beyblades to enhance their moves or even directly attack the target. Kai had seen the havoc these two had caused, so when he saw them taking the launching pose, he didn't find it funny. Not at all.

"What are you?" Lee asked, his eyes never leaving Kai. "What the hell are you?"

Kai saw their hands were shaking.

"HAHAHA!" he laughed like a maniac, his tail thrashing over the muddy layer of the earth under his feet, bits of flesh lying here and there.

Kai threw away the dead Contestant and took out an HP capsule, which he flung backward. Item-M caught it and ate it immediately. In just a moment, all her injuries healed, and her cheeks became rosy. She approached Kai and looked at him with awe and reverence.

"The boy is named Lee," she told him. "The girl is named Mariah. Foolish way to name themselves as it gives away their bit-beasts identity."

-/You are right/- Kai's words echoed in Item-M's head directly. His blood-colored gem flashed again. -/Don't interfere. Just distract them whenever and however you can. I will take care of the rest/-

Item-M gaped at Kai. "Master, that's… Telepathy?"

Kai nodded.

"Are you ignoring us?" Mariah snapped. "You think killing that weakling was enough to make us fear you? Humph!"

"Mariah, let's show him that even if he's an abomination, we aren't afraid of him," Lee said, chuckling.

Kai noticed their hands had become steady, and there were weird, fiery spiritual waves exploding out of them.

'Is that the Fighting Spirit?!' Kai wondered, taking out his saber.

"Yeah," Mariah nodded, beaming. "We have overcome great odds, together."

"3…" Lee began, a monstrous amount of Spiritual power and Mana bursting out of him.

Kai dashed. Why would he give them a chance to launch? But the Duos smiled then.

Bang!

Kai's head slammed directly into an invisible wall. "Ugh! What the…" Kai shook off the pain and found the boy sneering at him.

"You can not stop the Beyblade launch, fool," Lee said mockingly. "It's the Beyblade World Restriction, valid in all Random Worlds."

"2…" Mariah continued.

"1…"

And then the Spinning Duos both roared together.

"Let it rip!!!"

A black Beyblade spun like a dark star, and a pink Beyblade followed it, spinning around it in spirals.

Danger! Kai felt it before he could see it.

"Go, GALEON!"

"Go, GALUX!"

The world thundered as a blood-curdling roar came out of some unknown dimension, bringing with it a black lightning bolt.

And the loud hissing of a demonic cat shuddered the bones.

The Beyblades came towards Kai like two unstoppable beasts, chipping away the rocky ground under them.

The destined battle had begun.
