"LET IT RIP!"

Moving around and slashing from behind, fast quick strikes one after the other. The blue blade was going for the kill with precise movements and no hesitation the rhythm was intense and te crowed fell silent. "YOU GOTTHIS!" a voice shouted form the side lines Cheering on the neon blue blade with pink lining.

The movements where rash and the opponent had little time to counter, keeping up with the energy that seemed to eradicate form the blue and pink blade was a challenge, the moves like an intricate game of chest, blocking off advances and picking at weak spots.

The blue blade clashed once against with the foreigner red blade – fast pace battle like she was fighting off a forgiven invader, a sudden burst of energy and a blue light it was all over.

"LADIES AND GENTALMEN!" the DJ spoke switching his microphone between hands "With a another win from Libra! Your winning team at this expedition match is the ZODIAC Girls!"

The TV switched off, blanking out the cheers form the on lookers.
"Hey! I was watching that!" Protested a male voice, Tyson stunned around to see Hilary with her hands placed on her hips and a frown on her brow.

"You're supposed to have met me at the café 2 hours ago!" She was angry her nostrils flared ever so slightly. Ooops Tyson just remembered he said he would meet up with her but then the expedition matches start on TV and watching just a minute off it turned into two hours.

"Hillary ….You had to see this! It was the European expeditions and it was incredible!" he stood to his feed "The talent as so raw! And intense I want to fly down and go look!" The Champion smiled feeling excited for this new season to kick off.

The brunette girl wanted to give her boyfriend a right whack against his big head, sometimes she swear that's all he ever thought off was a spinning top, gosh that's probably what he dreamed about too. " It's not even the major leagues Tyson, just amateurs that are trying to get notice to make the national teams…" That's what Kenny had explained days earlier to her. "besides you promised me a date!"

"Dates going to have to wait." Hillary was intruded by another voice, it was hard and unforgiving a snap to earliest for the two quarreling.

"HIRO!" Tyson lite up like a Christmas tree seeing his older brother drop a heavy duffel bag on the dojo floor. It's been a while since his brother had been home, even with their differences the younger granger was glad to see him.

"don't look so surprised Tyson." Hiro spoke smoothly his eyes going over the two. "And don't be so happy either I am not here for long- passing by really." The older brother walked into the house and straight to the refrigerator.

"Passing by? Come on its been ages ever since the fall of BEGA you been out a job what could be keeping you this busy anyways" It was Hillary to point out the state of Hiro's employment, with a smug smile over her face.

Rolling his eyes Hiro stood holing a jug of juice. "I wouldn't be so sure Hillary, besides what work have you been doing? That's what I thought" He drag from the box and sat it down. "I am doing what I do best – getting new talent…" he paused "You're getting older Tyson if I where you I would be trimming that belly – the competition is younger faster and just might be stronger." With that revelation Hiro walked to the living room with and switched on the television as if he had said nothing to begin with .

Tyson granger looked down to his stomach- okay maybe he's been indulging a little bit, it wasn't that bad ? was it… "I am going to give Rei a call." Tyson commented leaving Hillary to stand behind watching him. Hoping this will not cause him to have a minie mid-life crises and do anything stupid.

"Rei it's time we get the team together – we need a meeting" his voice was stil calm with hints of excitement. "What you mean you don't know where Max is? he can't be that hard to find…. REI! Come on buddy! I know you're in China ! no I don't want to do the meeting there" Tyson slapped his forehead , sometimes it could be hardtop get the gang all tougher especially after a long break , Rei had gone back to China- kai went to heal his wounds Max dropped off the map it seemed…. No one has heard of max for 3 weeks and it was starting to worry Tyson. "Just make a plan, yea some here" Tyson hung up his face dropping slowly. "Why is it so hard to have a meeting with my team?!"

"Maybe, because you are not the captain?" Hillary pointed out bored of the argument now. She did have a point maybe everyone would listen if Kai was the one barking out orders. Hillary looked at Hiro watching the TV screen with a sly smile over his lips- he was definitely up to something.

"Expedition matches are quiet something – I think you guys should take part in it – bring yourself down of the pedestals and see if you can still keep up" Was HIro's comment as the TV cameras zoomed in on the new talent. "I heard the zodiac bladers where making quiet a name for themselves in Europe" The Japanese male added the sly smile still played on his lips.
