The clear blue sky above and the shining ocean beneath. That's the view the ravenette has from his window seat in the plane. "All passengers. We're going to land in Metal City, Japan in about 20 minutes. Please put all electronic devices in flight mode or turn them off. All seats must be in the standard position and fasten your seatbelt. Thank you." the pilot says and Jacen smiles a bit as he looks out the window.

"Just 20 more minutes. Really can't wait. Right Chaos?" he looks down at his Bey. The black balance type bey, Black Chaos, has been Jacens partner since the ravenette can remember.

He puts his bey back into the holster and continues to listen to his music over his Bluetooth headset. Can't wait to finally battle all the strong bladers in Japan. But first I'll get some maintenance for Chaos.

As soon as the plane had landed, Jacen gets off and out of the airport still wearing his black headset. When he first looks around everything seemed pretty calm and relaxing to him since the ravenette lives and grew up in Manhatten and when you can survive there, you can probably survive any city.

Right now he wears a black-red flannel with a simple white shirt, grey ripped jeans and black combat boots. His bey and launcher hang on a brown belt in black holsters. Over his shoulder he has a grey backpack with his stuff in it.

"Okay. Let's find somewhere to get you taken care off." the blue eyed teenager says and looks down at his bey before walking around the city for a while. On his little tour he finds a pretty cool looking bey gym, the WBBA headquarters and a big park, where Jacen does also take a lunch break.

Just as the teenager has sit down and is about to take his lunch out, when some guys show up in front of him. "And how can I help you guys?" Jacen asks as he holds his hand a bit over his eyes to look at the 4 dudes that stand in front of him, because they have the sun right behind him.

"You're a blader, aren't you?" one of the guys asks and they already pull out their bey and launchers. "Maybe. Maybe not. Why do you care?" Jacen asks and finally takes out a sandwich and starts eating while the guys just stare at him.

"Because we want your bey points. Battle us. If we win, we get all your bey points." the second guy says as Jacen calmly chews on his sandwich. He pulls his one off his knees up and lays his elbow on the knee as he takes the last bite of his sandwich before he leans back on his other hand.

The ravenette raises an eyebrow. "all of my bey points if you guys beat me, huh? And what if I win?" he asks curiously as he takes his launcher out of its holster. "Because why should I battle you guys if I don't get anything out of it myself." he adds as he spins his launcher between his fingers.

The four guys look at each other as an awkward silence spreads between the males. After a few more moments, Jacen bursts out laughing and almost falls backwards into the grass. "Sorry. But I have no time for idiots like you. See ya." he says calmly and gets up, grabs his backpack and turns his back to the guys as he starts walking off.

"Well you will have to defend yourself!" one of the guys shouts and they launch their beys at Jacen. The ravenettes eyes tighten to cat like slits as he drops his backpack. Before the beys reach him he gets Choas out of its holster and puts it on the launcher. He than dodges the beys with a half-twist backflip and as soon as his feet touch the ground again, he launches Chaos at the guys.

"Never mess with someone you can't beat, guys." he says with his cocky attitude being completely gone and he's visibly dead serious now. Without even a move from its owner, Chaos takes out the four beys without a problem. "Now. Since you didn't say anything about what I'll get if I beat you, how about you tell me where I can get some maintenance done on my bey?" Jacen says with a grin as he catches Chaos.

"B-Pit. Sure hope those guys told me the truth or I'll have to kick their asses again." the ravenette mutters as he walks into the small bey shop. He looks around a bit when he hears voices from the basement. "so someone is here." he mutters as he walks downstairs without making a sound.

There he sees a brunette girl with a small green haired kid and a ginger haired teenager about his own age. The girl seems to be cleaning a bey, which looks like an attack type to Jacen because of its parts.

The brunette seems to explaining something and Jacen just starts listening (he has a little problem about personal privacy). "Everyone always focuses so much on the battle, they forget to stop and think about their own precious beyblade." she says with the ginger haired only answering with a kind of confused right.

"She is right, ya know. After all a bey battle without a bey would be pretty boring." the ravenette says calmly as he leans against the railing of the stairs. All three of the people in the basement scream when the newcomer raises his voice.

"Who are you? And what are you doing here?" the ginger asks as Jacen plays around with the sleeve of his flannel. "My names Jacen. Jacen Maddox Hunter. And I actually wanted to get some maintenance done on my bey, Black Chaos. And no one was up in the shop, so when i heard you guys talking, I came down here." he says with a shrug and takes his bey out of its holster.

"So you are a blader." the green haired says and looks at Jacens bey. "Bingo, squirt." Jacen says and throws his bey into the air before catching it between his index and middle finger. The green haired looks at the ginger guy who seem to be holding back a laugh.

But the brunette just stares at Chaos before running over and snatching it from Jacens hand. "Okay. Sure, take it. Not like I care or anything." the ravenette says sarcastically and takes the last steps down the stairs. "This bey is in even worse condition than Pegasus! What the hell have you been doing to wear it out like this?" she almost yells at Jacen who stands next to the ginger haired.

"Well, I did have a pretty intense battle with my cousin... We kind of broke our garage and... May have blown up a car... So I guess, Chaos did take a bit of a beating? But we still won." he says with a calm shrug as he looks at the other bey and starts muttering to himself.

"Storm Pegasus 105RF. Attack type. Would have a disadvantage against Rock Scorpio, who is a defense type, but an advantage against Burn Aries, a stamina type. It has also a greater attack power than the balance type Black Chaos but lacks stamina and defense..." he mutters to himself before looking up to see the other three kids in the room who staring at him. "What?" he asks as he has actually no idea that he muttered all that instead of thinking it.

The ginger looks at the bey before he looks back at Jacen. "Did you just analyse Pegasus by just looking at it for like 10 seconds?" he asks curiously as the greenette just stares at Jacen. "Yeah. My dad has a bey shop and in America attack type beys with a storm fusion wheel are pretty common. So I know a thing or two about them." Jacen answers with a chuckle and rubs the back of his neck.

"That's so cool. So you are from America? Why did you come to Japan out of all places?" the green haired asks and seems to have totally forgotten that he had been called squirt only 5 minutes ago. Jacen shrugs as he walks over to the couch, that stands next tp the stairs and drops down on it as his backpack hits the floor.

"Don't know myself. I've been traveling through all of the U.S. and just got bored of battling the same opponents over and over again. Exspecially since most of them use the same patterns none stop. Not to forget that I don't really compete in tournaments." he says calmly as he leans back and crosses his hands behind his head.

"Are American bladers that weak?" The ginger asks as he looks back at the brunette, who is still working on the two beys. Jacen shakes his head and stares at Chaos for a moment. "not at all. I just have a gift for blading. Since I know much about parts of Beyblade from my dad, I know the strengths and weaknesses of all types of beys and many combinations. That's also why I use a balance type. Gives me the perfect opportunity to use those weaknesses and avoid the strengths." he says before looking at the greenette and ginger with a slight blush out of embarrassment.

"Sorry. I have a bad habit of babbling to much." he says and rubs the back of his neck again. The ginger laughs after a few moments and the youngest in the room joins in as well. "It's cool dude. By the way. I'm Gingka and this is my friend Kenta. The girl working on your, Black Chaos was it, and Storm Pegasus is Madoka." he says and holds out his hand to the ravenette. "Nice to meet ya, Gingka. Kenta. Madoka." he says and looks at each of them when he says their name.

Just a few seconds later Madoka turns to Gingka and Jacen. "Good news and bad news. Good news first. I can fix everything on your beys but it'll take a while. Probably 'til tomorrow noon or something around that time. That's also the bad news." she says and Jacen shrugs. "Fine by me. Wasn't planning to have a battle this late anyways. Thanks in advance, Madoka." he says and Madoka smiles as Gingka thanks her too. "It's no problem guys. You can also stay here for the night if you want. We have that couch down here and a guest room upsta-"

She was interrupted by Jacen as he jumps to his feet and raises his arms with a grin. "Dibs on the guest room!" he yells and is already half up the stairs before anyone can even say something. "After a 14 hour flight I need a fat nap. Thanks again Madoka!" he shouts and is up the rest of the stairs. "That guy is even more energetic than you, Gingka." Kenta says with a laugh and Gingka just shouts a hurt 'Hey!' at the younger.

At the same time Jacen finally finds the guest room. It is a pretty simple room with a bed in the corner beside a window, a small table across from it and a closet next to the door. There is also a door that leads to the bathroom. Jacen fast puts of his shoes, which he leaves next to the door, and his flannel and shirt, which he throws on the table and puts his belt with bey holster and launcher next to it. Without bothering to change into an actual pyjama, the ravenette falls onto the bed.

I can't wait to have many great battles. Exspecially with that Gingka guy. This will be awesome. He thinks before falling asleep, still in his jeans.
