A New Start

Kai walked down the streets of Tokyo. It had been a while since the end of the last world tournament. He had just returned from training at mount Fuji. Unknown to him, a new journey was about to start.

Tyson ran from block to block, yelling loudly. " Aw, man! I am so dead!"

He cleared another block and rounded a corner. Not stopping to see if anyone was there, he bumped into none other than Kai. With a thud, Tyson and Kai went sprawling to the floor.

"Hey, man watch where you're going! Huh? Kai is that you?" Tyson said as he got back up. Kai groaned and sat up. "Kai! It is you!"

"Hey, Tyson," Kai said in a not too excited voice.

"This is just too cool! What are you doing back in town?"

"Nothing," Kai said and began walking by Tyson.

"Huh? Wait a minute!" Tyson ran in front of Kai and spread out his arms. "This is how you greet me after three years? That's low, even for you! You've got to learn to open up!" Kai sighed.

"I'm sorry Tyson." Kai replied. Tyson almost barfed up his lunch.

"What did you say!"

"I said I'm sorry now get over it."

"Hah, that's the Kai I know." Just then, Tyson remembered his appointment. " Oh, shoot! Hilary's gonna Kill me!" With that, Tyson grabbed Kai's arm and pulled him along for the run of his life.

A few minutes later, Kai and Tyson arrived at the local Mall. Tyson had stopped pulling Kai but he still ran along, wondering what in the world he was doing. They got the food court, and soon Kai saw a familiar, brown haired girl, along with a nerdy looking boy. Tyson stopped and panted in front of her.

"Hilary, I…"

"Save it Tyson!" Hilary yelled. " Tyson you've got to learn to be on time. One day this is going to get you in trouble." Hilary sighed after that. "Well I guess I can't expect that change anytime soon." Her face cheered up, and she smiled at Tyson. Kai wasn't expecting that. Usually, Tyson and Hilary's shouting sessions lasted for a while. When they first met, Tyson had hurt her feelings pretty badly in one of those sessions. What even surprised Kai more was that Tyson didn't fight back this time. Hilary look past Tyson and at Kai.

"Tyson is this a friend of yours?"

"Huh?" Tyson turned around " Oh, I forgot all about you." Kai rolled his eyes and then shut them, taking on his famous "Kai Stance." Instantly, Hilary recognized him.

"Kai!" Hilary said in astonishment.

"Yep." Tyson said standing at Kai's shoulder. "I met this guy on the street. Turns out the ice has melted a bit." Hilary looked at Tyson like she didn't have a clue at what he was saying. " I got an apology from him," Tyson explained.

"No way!" Kenny said from behind Hilary. "You got an apology form Kai!" Kenny and Hilary stared at Kai. All he did was give a humph. They all burst out laughing, except for Kai. " That's Kai alright," Kenny said between his laughs. After they had gotten used to the fact that Kai was back, they got ready to go shopping.

"I'll go with Kai so that you two can be alone," Kenny said to Tyson and Hilary.

"Chief!" Tyson yelled.

"Come on Tyson," Hilary said and pulled Tyson's arm. He didn't have to be told twice. Despite Kai's usually calm manner, his curiosity got the best of him.

"What's up with them?" he asked.

"Huh? Oh, after the team split up, they got close. Never thought you'd see the day did you?"

"Not in this life time." Kenny gave out a laugh at that statement.

"Come one Kai, there are a few parts stores I want to check out." After Chief was done, they headed back to the food court to order dinner at a McDonalds. Soon afterwards, Tyson and Hilary came back. They sat together eating and talking about old times. Suddenly a loud voice boomed through the mall.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, free time has just begun. All bladers are welcome to come and challenge the world champion, Tyson!" It was Jazz announcing the event.

"Oh, yes!" Tyson yelled as he headed to the dish in the middle of the food court.

"Tyson makes a guest appearance every week at this mall so that bladders can challenge him," Kenny explained to Kai.

"Hmm…"Kai muttered and got out of his seat.

"Okay, who's gonna be my first challenger?" Tyson said in a cocky voice.

"I am." Tyson turned around and Kai stood before him.

"Kai, you want to challenge me!" Kai took out his blade and loaded into his launcher.

"Well?" Kai asked. A determined grin came on Tyson's face.

"You're on!"

"Ladies and Gentlemen," Jazz roared into his microphone. " We have a match between the world champion Tyson and his team leader Kai!" The gathering crowd gave out a cheer as Tyson and Kai stepped to the dish.

This is gonna be sweet! Tyson thought as he loaded his blade to his launcher. I haven't seen Kai blade for a while.

Let's see how much you've learned, Tyson, Kai thought. They both got ready to launch.

"All right ladies and gentlemen, this is it," Jazz said and the crowds roar became deafening.

Chief got out Dizzi. " Hey, Chief, what's with the commotion? A girl needs to get her sleep you know," Dizzi said with her usual sarcasm.

"Kai's back and he's challenging Tyson."

"What you didn't wake me up for the reunion?"

" Oops, I forgot. Sorry Dizzi."

"Well don't you forget again. You spoiled a perfect chance to make fun the old sour puss."

Kenny sighed, "Just gather data about Kai's blade okay?"

" Fine Chief. Sheesh, what did I say?"

Jazz's voice was once again heard, " Okay bladders, Ready?" Tyson and Kai tensed up. "Three, two, one, let it rip!"
