Chapter 1
The Meeting
It was a cold, dark night. Everything was completely silent in the house. Zeo was just sitting at his desk working on his beyblade, quiet as can be. When all of the sudden there was a tapping noise on the window. He opened the window to see what was going on.
Zhino, one of Zeo's friends, came out of no where and whispered, "Grab all that you need and come out here."
Zeo looked over and saw Shadia, and then he knew that Zhino and Shadia were both serious about this. Zeo grabbed all that he needed, including his beyblade. Just in case, he thought. And climbed down the tree with them.
After they climbed down the tree they had to be sneaky for about five minutes since they were right near Zeo's house. Then they started running as fast as they could, away from Zeo's house.
"Hey, Zeo." Zhino shouted, "Do you know somebody that you can stay with?"
Zeo replied, "Yeah. Tyson's house. I know where it it's at, Zhinny."
"Okay," Zhino said, "lead the way Zeo"
Once they got on Tyson's street, they slowed down to a steady walk. With Zeo leading the way to Tyson's Shadia and Zhino felt safe. Zhino was staying alert just in case he saw Zagart. Meanwhile, Shadia was keeping an eye out just in case she saw her brother, Brandon, or her cousin, Mark.
When they reached Tyson's front door Zhino and Shadia felt nervous, but Zeo was perfectly fine. Then, Zeo knocked on the door.
Tyson came up and answered the door. He was completely surprised and shocked at the same time. Then he finally got his voice to shout, "Zeo!"
Zeo shouted back, "Tyson!" They both hugged each other. Because of how happy they were to see able to one another again.
The Bladebreakers over heard this and everyone, except Kai, mouthed the words, No Way. Then Tyson shouted to them, "Hey guys come out here!" They all came to the door and saw Zeo with two other People at Tyson's door. Tyson finally broke the silence by saying, "Do you and your friends want to crash here for the night?"
Zeo looked at Zhino and Shadia. They both nodded in approval of staying for the night. Then Zeo answers, "Sure."
For some reason Kai could not figure out what the burnette girl was like. He could tell that the boy was a person who kept Zeo down to earth, just like Max and Ray did with Tyson.
Ray asked, "What are your names?"
"My name is Zhino," he replied.
Meanwhile, Shadia said softly, "Mine's Shadia."
Max shouted, "Welcome to the Bladebreakers Zhino and Shadia."Then he said,"I thought you died Zeo."
Zeo tells everyone what happened. How two men lock him in his room. And how Zagart test out his little android by making one that looked exactly like him. At the end of Zeo's story everybody was inside Tyson's house and was amazed.
Even though everyone was shocked, Kai kept thinking, Who are the two mysterious men that put Zeo in his room and locked him in? He looked over at Shadia who was also thinking. Then he left the room.
Shadia also know that Kai was thinking. After he left the room, she followed him. Out the door and onto the porch near the pond.
Kai quickly notices her and asks, "So why are you here?"
"I'm trying to figure out who those two men are. And you?" Shadia responds.
"Same thing. But why did you and Zhino help Zeo out?"
"Zhino's dad died when he was he was five years old. His mom doesn't know half the stuff that he does since his mom is always away on business trips. I am just a forgotten child in my family. They always focus on my brother and forget about me. With out any one to talk to things just got lonely. I would just sit there in my room on the internet, reading a book or watch TV."
Stunned two hear this Kai says, "My family was the same way."
Tyson interrupts Kai and Shadia by saying, "Time to eat!"
The table was quiet for a few minutes because everybody was eating their own meals. Then finally breaking the silence Ray asks, "Zhino what is usual life like?"
Zhino replies, "It's kind of boring. My mom is an archeologist and my dad died when I was five. So most of the time I'd be home alone. "
"Yeah, it was also weird too being there when nis mom home," Shadia adds.
"I don't disagree with you there Shadia." Zhino speaks calmly.
"Yeah." Shadia responses.
"So things got pretty quiet at your place," Ray says this and then realizes what he just said.
"Yeah," Zhino murmured.
Ray asks, "What about you, Shadia?"
Shadia remains quiet at Ray question. She then looks at Kai hoping that he would answer the question for her, but no luck. Then she finally works up the courage to say, "I don't want to talk about it."
"Oh, okay," Ray replies.
