A Reunion in Blading
Chapter 1: Three Years Later
It has been three years since Kiri's father, Edward, was defeated and her brother, Jordan, was rescued to begin a new life. Since then, the Bladebreakers have only seen each other a few times and they were missing each other, at the moment, Kiri wasn't with Kai and he was on his own, sitting by the lake.
"She said she'll be back soon." said Kai to himself.
Kiri had been gone two weeks visiting her brother who had joined the White Tiger team, she was on her way back and Kai said to meet him here.
"Kai, you all right?" said a little kid coming over.
"Yeah, just waiting for someone." said Kai.
"I'm looking for someone, a friend of mine, he promised me a match here and I think he's chickened out." said the kid and Kai chuckled.
"While you're here, let me see your beyblade." said Kai and the kid showed him, it was a very basic model but most younger beybladers had lesser models.
The kid sat down next to Kai and they both waited. At Tyson's place, his grandfather was doing more martial arts with him.
"Grandpa, I need to practise my beyblading otherwise I'll be beaten." said Tyson.
"Do it after, dude, you know this is very important." said Grandpa.
And while Tyson continued practicing, Kenny was sitting by a café, researching.
"Dizzi, what do you think? How much have we improved over the last three years?" asked Kenny.
"I don't have all the data yet, chief; we haven't seen all the members in action yet." Dizzi reminded him.
Over in the USA, Max was visiting his mother, at the moment, the All-Starz were doing a practice match with him. So far, Max had beaten them all except Michael and it looked like this one would take a while.
"Mum, I can do it." said Max.
In a small village, the White Tigers were doing practice matches, and Lee had really helped when he gave Jordan advice. Jordan had beaten Gary and Mariah yet Kevin and Lee were not going down easy.
"Come on, Jordan, I didn't help you out so you'd get overwhelmed this easy." said Lee releasing his beyblade into the match.
"Lee, what's the big deal?" asked Kevin as Lee's Galeon knocked him out the match.
"You've had your fun, Kevin, you have improved a lot, but it's my turn, now." said Lee.
"Don't worry, Lee, I can do it! Come on, Barian." and out came Jordan's bit-beast, the centaur.
"Galeon, let's start big. Dark Lightning." and the beyblade glowed as lightning surrounded Barian.
"Get out of that, Barian." yelled Jordan.
Barian broke through the attack, surprising Lee.
"Yeah, go for it, Shock Attack." and Barian shot electricity at Galeon.
But Galeon had pulled through and knocked Barian out.
"Lee wins." said Mariah excited.
"Nice try, but you are a bit predictable." said Lee.
Jordan just frowned and turned away. Back near the lake where Kai was, the sun was setting, Kai was just thinking maybe she couldn't make it today when he heard her voice.
"Kai, hello." and she ran down to him and jumped in his arms, he fell back and they rolled down the remainder of the hill, almost ending up in the water.
The kid who was still with Kai smiled as he watched the happy couple.
"I guess I'll see you later, Kai." and the kid took off to have a word with his friend.
"Had fun with your brother?" asked Kai.
"Yeah, we had a small match, he is getting so much better, he almost beat me, but you know too well how good Drazier has become." and they both laughed as Kai got up.
They headed off to Kiri's house; she had bought herself a little place over the last three years. Kai's place, which he had borrowed temporarily, was returned to its owner, but he let them use his training dish seeing as Kiri wasn't able to install one at her place.
"How do you think Dranzer's doing?" Kiri asked as they settled in to her living room.
"He's certainly doing good, but I think he needs more, we both know that there are stronger opponents." said Kai.
Kiri sat down drinking tea; Kai had refused a drink and was just sitting silently. The evening went by without much talking between them then Kiri decided might as well have an early night and went upstairs yawning. Kai was about to leave, deciding to stay out the way when Kiri called him up.
"I guess it's time, it would have to happen one day, I like the idea that we have waited three years." and she pointed at the right side of the bed.
It hadn't hit Kai at first and then they settled in for the night. The next day, everything was going to change.
