If there's any Beyblade you want to see next, just put it down in the comments.

Fundamentals! Blaze Draco versus Emperor Fourneous!

"Let it, rip!" Both Smolder and Bolt shouted as they launched their beys into the stadium. Both Valtryek and Draco spun around the stadium as they circled each other before they collided in the middle. Sparks fly when they collided before they pushed each other back and hit the walls of the stadium. The reboot kicked in on Draco and charged at Valtryek at full speed as it zigzag.

"Let's go, Draco!" Smolder shouted as her bey clashed with Valtryek.

"Don't give in, Valtryek!" Bolt cried out as his bey pushed back and the two resonated together. "Wonder Valtryek Whip!" He called out Veltriak's special move as it struck Draco and burst it.

"Ah man!" Smolder complained. "I almost had you!" She picked up her bey and put it back together.

"You just need more practice is all." Bolt told her. "You still just a beginner, but a good practice will help you get stronger."

"I know that." Smolder told him. "By the way, where's Red? I thought he was going to practice." They soon found Red carring a large tire wheel on his back doing laps around a field near the school. He then used his front hooves and continue his training. "Wow, that some training."

"I know, right?" Bolt asked before he saw Spiral there with a stopwatch.

"Let's go again!"

"All right, Red." Spiral spoke. "It's time for some push-ups with just your right hoof."

"You got it, grandpa!" Red shouted as he did what he was told.

"Wow, he's really going to do that?" Smolder asked before she looked at her bey. "I have a feeling I have a long way to go before I get to their level." The train travel along the train tracks with one of the passengers being a Blader. A hippogriff with teal feathers, ocean blue eyes, and navy blue for the mane, hooves, claws, beak, and accents. In his claw is a defense type Beyblade, Emperor Fourneous.

Back at school, Smolder were doing some push-ups with both Red and Bolt with training as they were pulling some ropes tied to a tree. "54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, and 60!" Spiral called before all three stopped. "Good work out! Tomorrow we go for 100 rips!"

"100?!" Smolder shouted before she fell on her back. "I didn't think being a Blader would be this hard!"

"If we want to be the best, then we got a train like the best!" Red told her before he looked at his bey. "Isn't that right, Achilles?"

"But you both have been Bladers for like years." Smolder told him.

"But you and Draco have a special bond like us and our beys." Bolt told her. "You just need to understand the fundamentals of Beyblade and you'll be a pro no time." Smolder decided to take a stroll around town as she was thinking about what they told her.

"The fundamentals?" Smolder asked as she hold her beyblade up. "What kind of fundamentals are there in Beyblade? I could use your help here, Draco."

"Hey you!" A voice called out to her. When she turned to a hippogriff with a determined look on his face. "I see you got a Beyblade. Is it an attack type?"

"Yeah, and who are you?" Smolder asked when she turned to him.

"My name is Sea Shard." He introduced himself before he hold up his Beyblade. "And this is my partner, Emperor Fourneous."

"That's a nice looking bey." Smolder complimented. "Are you challenging me to a battle?"

"Not right now." Sea said as he put his bey away and turned his back to her. "I will once you have your things straight."

"What was that?!" Smolder shouted.

"You obviously don't have your fundamentals down." Sea told her before he started to walk away. "When you have things straight, then we can battle." As he walked away, Smolder's face was turning red with anger.

"FUNDAMENTALS?!?!?!" Smolder shouted at the top of her lungs with so much frustration.

The following day after school, Smolder was already doing some hardcore training as she was jogging around the school grounds, doing handstands while jogging, and instead of doing 100 push-ups, she did 200. "Is she doing okay?" Ocellus asked as they watched Smolder pushing herself.

"Something tells me that something or someone really got her blood boiling." Red guess.

"Maybe if she's doing this much training." Bolt said before he looked at the others. "Plus in class, I overheard her grumble fundamentals over and over again. Maybe she's trying to get them down." They later went down to the stadium under the school and both her and Red were battling.

"Go Achilles!" Red called out as his bey clashed with Draco. Draco's reboot kicks in and went to full speed.

"Blaze through Draco!" Smolder shouted as her bey zip around Achilles and attack at every angle. Soon Draco knocked Achilles out of the stadium and Red was a little surprised by it.

"Looks like you're getting stronger. I told you that special training would help." Red told her as he picked up his bey.

"Let's go again!" Smolder demanded. "I need to get these fundamentals down and I will show Sea Shard!"

"Sea Shard?" Red asked. "Is this guy the reason why you're acting like this?"

"You bet it is!" Smolder shouted. "He thinks he is so cool just because I don't have the fundamentals down!"

"Well, it looks like you see him as your rival." Red told her. "A rival can keep you up your game and everything."

"Well right now, he's making my blood boiling like crazy!" Smolder shouted.

"Well then, let's keep going." Red said as he readied his launcher. "If you really want to show that guy you got it down, then we keep on practicing." Smolder smiled as she ready her launcher.

The next day, Sea was taking a walk through the park till Smolder and Red stood infront a couple feet away. "Oh, it's you." He spoke. "Who's your friend?"

"The name is Red, and my friend here is ready to battle." He answered.

"That's right!" Smolder shouted as hold out her bey. "And I won't take no for an answer!"

"Fine, I will take you on." Sea said as he took out his bey. "Get ready to be taken down by Fourneous." They soon went over to the park's Beyblade stadium and both him and Smolder got ready.

"I guess I will be the referee for this." Red said as he stood between them. "Ready and set!"

"3..." Both Sea and Smolder shouted as Sea locked his bey in place. "2..." He then brought his arms back with his launcher. "1!" He then stepped forward. "Let it, rip!" They shouted as he swing his arms around and when his launcher was aim to the stadium, he launched his bey into it as Smolder launched her bey. Both their Beyblades landed in the stadium and circled each other before his face made it to the center.

"I'm going to show you I've know the fundamentals!" Smolder shouted as her bey charged at Fourneous. But when they clashed, Fourneous pushed Draco back with ease. "Wait, what?!"

"Emperor Fourneous is a defense type bey and the strongest defense ever!" Sea explained it to her. "There's no way you'll be able to break through." Draco continue to clash against Fourneous but unable to push it out of the center. When Draco's reboot kicked in, it was able to push Fourneous out of the center before Sea resonated with Fourneous. "Fournious!" a burst of energy came off of his bey as its avatar appeared. It was a shark with black armor on. "Go, Emperor Drift!" His bey zigzag until it clashed with Draco and knocked it out of the ring.

"That's Emperor Fourneous with a ring out finish!" Red declared. "Point standing one to zero!" Smolder picked up her bey before she glared at Sea.

"I thought you were going to show me you got the fundamentals down." Sea said.

"That was only the first round and you need two points to win!" Smolder told him. "Now get ready, because I'm winning the next round one with a burst!" Both of them ready their launchers for the round.

"Second round!" Red called out. "Ready and set!"

"3... 2... 1! Let it, rip!" The two shouted as they launched their beys into the stadium and like before, Fourneous took the center as Draco circled around the stadium. Draco then charged at Fourneous at top speed.

"Emperor Guard!" Sea called out as his bey eye glowed and a wall stood tall. It barely budged an inch as Draco clashed into it over and over again. After another hit, Fourneous pushed Draco into the air and it looked like it was about to go out.

"I won't lose that easy!" Smolder shouted before she and her bey resonated together. "Draco!" She called out as her beys Avatar appeared before it landed in the stadium just when the reboot kicked in and charged straight at Fourneous. "Go! Blaze Claw Slash!" She called out a move as she slashed her claws. The claws on Draco glowed as was spinning. Once it clashed with Fourneous, it broke through its defense and send it flying out of the stadium before it burst. Sea was shocked to see his bey had burst before Red spoke up.

"That's Blaze Draco with a burst finish! Smolder wins!" He declared before he holds up his hoof for a hoof and claw bump with Smolder for the win. "Nice job!"

"I'll say!" Smolder said before she looked at Sea who picked up his bey and put back together. She then walked over to him and offered a shake. "Good battle. If you're up for another, I'm always down for it." Sea looked at her before he smirked and took her claw to shake.

"Sure. You seem to have all the fundamentals down, so it might be fun to battle you again." Sea said before turned to leave. "See you around."

"Aw man." Red said as he put his hooves over his head. "I wanted to battle too."

"Who knows, maybe next we run into you'll get to." Smolder told him before they both chuckled.
