Back to the Basics Blader Style

''Please Note: This article is non canon to Metal Fight Beyblade and has to do with a MFB + FF crossover fanfic, Back to the Basics (Blader Style). No confusion intended.'' "'Reiji's bond for Jinga has crashed through countless memories whether it be from spending quality time with each other or holding grudges from two sides. Jinga's sibling is closer to Kyoya, linked from a rich family made of a gruff father, the General, and three egotastic triplets. Damian's lone wolf splits in between Zeo and Faust as he is made to choice over with dedicated confidence. Chao - Xin is left with a yacht in his grandpa's will, encouraging Dashan for an admiring sail. High School students. Typical teenagers. The Ginsu of Life. Back to the Basics.'

Song List
Here is the official song list from the 90 chapter story.

Trivia

 * Chapters 10-13 - "Flashback Arc I" : All chapter titles are songs by Jeffree Star.
 * Chapter 12 - "Bitch, Please" : When Jinga mentioned Damian's bus flipping over, Reiji automatically believes that is the reason his one arm is darker than the other. This is not true, in fact, just remember back to ADVENT CHILDREN COMPLETE, only, minus the whole 'Faust Gene' and 'Jenova's Mimetic Legacy' stuff.
 * Chapter 17 - "Who's Been Naughty?, Yule Special Part I" : The title, clothing, and first paragraphs of plot are all credited to Nijuuni on deviantART.
 * Chapter 21 - "TiK ToK" : Chapter title is named after Ke$ha's song/single/music video TiK ToK. Also, the make and model of Chao-Xin's car was never mentioned. (With the exception from chapter 34: Swim This Way) He drives a brand new 2007 Honda Accord Euro in a clear-ocean blue (Arctic Blue actually). Of course, if I went into detail, I would mention the gentle wave patterns along the rims, the chrome spinners, and the teal sea-turtle car freshener hanging from the rear-view mirror.
 * I decided to mention Da Xiang's car because I totally fell in love with it and it's really not a 2012 golden Dodge Journey as you might think of. His CUV is actually the name change of the Journey. Yes, Dodge JCUV (The alternate name for Journey in China) with the base trim as SXT. Tattooed with vector stickers of majestic posing Qilins (Reiji's Mustang has snake vector stickers) and Chinese symbol for love "爱" is stuck on the rear glass windshield while underneath the main rear tailgate, written across the bumper are the words "道奇之旅" which mean "Dàoqí zhī lǚ" in chinese for Dodge Journey. The seats have velvet red covers with bright golden stitch labels of the Zurafa facebolt logo on the top middle part. Hanging from the rearview mirror, is a gold miniwheel of the Chinese Zodiac with red ribbons loosely hung down while standing proudly in the middle of the dashboard, is a small jade statue of a Qilin, dated thousands of years ago from the Ming Dynasty. I would mention him owning the Journey's twin- which is the Fiat Freemont but I was like okay, Journey for him! Well, Da Xiang is not only an average IT instructor but he and his blading team decided to own the expensive grand HUA LUXE hotel in China thus making them rich. I would mention his Tesla model S sports car, but I just wanted to make him an ordinary blader and being.
 * Chapter 24 - "Family Feud" : The cars described were all result of an hour's research and character-profiling. I matched each vehicle to the characters based on personality, and chose all but one of them to be a luxury car/SUV/motorcycle. Also, the bike Dante and Nero rode, I saw it on the road recently. I screamed and started gawking out the window – the owner thought I was nuts. XD
 * Chapter 32 - "The Wetter the Better!" : This chapter is named after Water Country U.S.A.'s slogan. The water park is in Williamsburg, VA, and I go every year. This year, I went with my father, his girlfriend, and her daughter accompanied by her fiancee. Seeing as I felt left-out, and I'm a recluse and self-conscious about my body, I mainly stood in lines thinking about how I could fit my time at the park into BttB Blader Style. When Jinga flew out of the raft, that was real. I had been screaming "PEGAAAASSSSUSSSS!" all through the tunnels, and doing Devil-Horns, and at a sharp turn I went flying into the air. Of course I had a death-grip on one of the handles, but I couldn't help but to put it into the story. Poor Jinga.
 * Chapter 33 - "What I like About You" : When Reiji says "Patience is a virtue~" and Jinga replies, "Of which I have none...", that is a direct quote from my seme and I. I said Reiji's line to her when she bitched at me about the chapter being done, and she said Jinga's line. And that's how it wound up in the story. :D
 * Chapter 34: "Swim This Way": Chao-Xin's yacht, The Virgo Zurafa, is actually based on the 2008 Sibelle luxury super yacht designed by Hessen and Omega Architechts. (Yeah, I told you this in the story. Pics I posted on Photobucket are too awesome looking!x3)
 * Chapter 80: "One Night Will Remind You"- Jinga mentioning of him shoving up his bey up Reiji's ass, that's obviously a fan made beyblade. Yup, Darkstorm Pegasus C:F (Crystal Fury) His Darkstorm Pegasus bey is opposite of Gingka's Pegasus which is light. (sorry Ryuga and L-Drago. Go find another Bey that holds light) xD
 * The school in Back to the Basics Blader Style is based on a real-life school that I attended. The name of the school, XLC High, is a result of letter-play after I tracked the letters of the original school's name. Anyone who can guess the real name of the school, PM me on this site, and if you are correct, you will be placed into a chapter of BttB Blader Style! (maybe)
 * About 90% of what happens in BttB Blader Style is based on real-life events. In fact, almost everything is true, minus the hot guys getting it on all over the place.
 * The characters in BttB Blader Style all contain their abilities in their respective games/anime/manga/etc. Damian still has his sword, Fausty could use his wing if he wanted, and Reiji can control snakes and fire, etc. The reason this is an AU (Alternate Universe), is because I have this fic in a way that if the characters had all been created in the same place/time/world, but still had their abilities. This is why they get away with so much – there ARE Potions, Cure Spells, Hell even Materia! It is just never mentioned.
 * Yes, Gingka and Jinga have Pegasus Keyblades/Beyblades – how'd you think they came up with the names for their cats?
 * Damian and Zeo's dog is based off the wolf that represent's Damian's 'Guilt' in ADVENT CHILDREN COMPLETE. I always loved the wolf – because I'm awesome like that – and I wanted him in the story. Viola.
 * Yu didn't die from his coma mentioned in chapter 2.
 * Aerith isn't dead either. Nor is Zeo, Masamune, or Toby.
 * Reiji's old phone was a 1st-Gen Razor held together with duct-tape. Of course it was bright green. In the first Disney chapter, Zeo promises him his phone in exchange for rescuing him from the kiddie ride in the mall. Now Reiji's phone is a standard Verizon LG flip-phone. Like mine. : 3 Of course his happens to be red...I used to have the normal grey one...like the stander issues SOLDIER phone but then my mom broke it and I had to get an black and luna blue AT&T LG number pad slide out phone until I lost that one and I'm stuck here with my slow booting but lovely I-Phone 4s...and the ringtone is the FFVII victory fanfare. : D
 * Gingka, Damian, and Jinga's hair is naturally spiky. As for everyone else, they have to use AXE products.
 * Most technological devices mentioned are owned by me. Well, minus Da Xiang's iPhone. I wanted him to own the chinese smart phone, a black and gold I-Ocean X8 with Android 4.3.3 Jellybean, but I was like ok, I-Phone for him! Model was never mentioned in the story. It's a Black I-Phone 5 (64 GB) with a gold square embedded on the HOME button which Chao-Xin currently owns. Ryuga and Wesley's Samsung Galaxy S3's suck. Oh, I almost forgot. As mentioned in the end of "Chapter 34: Swim This Way", Wesley Bryan is actually a real Network+ IT instructor of mine, who aided me in those lovely SSD upgrades for my awesome Sony Vaio laptop. (I had to forget the Macbook for awhile, typing there sucked!) He's best friend's with Da Xiang and loves teaching IT class by doing collaborations with the Zurafa blader. x3
 * Thier blading pairing name is Feng Huang ((Qilin and Gongji (rooster)) x3
 * Every home mentioned in BttB Blader Style is based off a real home that I have been in. Whether it was family or friend, if I remember the layout, I out it in the story. Gingka and Jinga's home is modeled after my own located on 801 Holly Crescent drive, because it is close to the beach, and it seems perfect for them. Chao-Xin and Da Xiang's condo was based off my uncle's, seeing as he owned the whole effin' place. And it was very modern – but not the bad kind, more like the artistic kind.
