"Showdown In Vegas"

Alexis was looking for Micheal, Steven and Eddy outside of the Glitter Dome. They had skipped practice and were in big trouble when she found the three boneheads. Finally, over the crowd of reporters, she spotted the three and saw that they were talking to the Bladebreakers. They must have been insulting their way of blading if the look on Tyson's face was anything to go by. As quietly as she could be, Alexis walked over to the group and placed her hand on the red haired baseball style blader's shoulder.

"Problem, boys?" she asked pleasantly.

The three All Starz yelped and cowered when they saw her. Noticing this movement, the red eyed girl crossed her arms, frowning at her team mates.

"What did you do wrong this time?" she asked.

The three then stumbled over their words, trying to tell her something that was either the truth or far from it. Whatever it was, she was getting impatient, tapping her foot in time with her growing annoyance. The football player and basketball player saw that, and pointed their fingers at Micheal, shouting "He insulted Max!" and ran behind the opposing team like the cowards they were.

Alexis directed her cold eyes on the redhead, making him gulp in fear. He knew better than anyone how suicidal it was to upset the navy haired girl.

"All of you, go back to the hotel now. Better yet, run there."

"What?" they shouted.

"Call it your punishment for cutting practice. Micheal, you'll get far worse later on. Now go."

Nodding, the three All Starz ran away towards the hotel they were staying at, thanking whatever god that was out there that they didn't get worse than that.

Sighing, Alexis turned back to meet the eyes of the startled Bladebreakers.

"What? Under all that bravado, they're a bunch of wimps."

Max chuckled at that and threw his arms around his big sister, happy to see her again, even though they saw each other yesterday at the charity match.

"Guys, I'd like you to offiacially meet my big sister, Alexis Tate."

The blond pulled his sister's hand, bringing her closer to the three other boys.

"This is Tyson, Ray, Kenny or the Chief and standing over there by himself is Kai." Max finished pointing to the dual haired blader who was standing by the BBA bus.

"Yeah, he's a real loner." Tyson said.

"Hey, when dealing with annoying team mates that make you wanna drive your head through a wall all the time, it's actually a good idea to go off alone to take a breather, calm down. I do it all the time." The red eyed girl said, deffending the other red eyed blader. She didn't know why, but there was something about him that felt familiar, like they had met before.
"Yeah, she's right." Ray said.

Alexis looked back over to Kai and saw Emily chatting him up. Rolling her eyes, she then faced her brother, smiling down at him sweetly, then excused herself from the group to go get in some extra training. She waved to them, then called over her shoulder to the ginger haired tennis style blader.

"Yo, York, quit harresing the guy and let's go, before Mom goes ballistic!"

She smirked she heard the other girl huff, then run after her.

"Good luck tomorrow, boys!"

The All Starz were sitting in the stands to watch the match between the Bladebreakers and some Spanish team battle, because Judy wanted to record more data, hopefully from Kai. Alexis wanted to go to watch her little brother kick some serious ass. Micheal sat beside the navy haired girl on her left, making sure there was space between them. He did not feel like making her mad after the hell he got from her last night for being mean to her brother.

Remind him to never do that again.

The match began with Kai going up against some guy named Miguel(not the one from Beyblade G-Revolution), who had a guitar styled launcher and was tone deaf. When Kai let his beyblade fly into the ring, Dramon began acting up, as if she was excited. Alexis pulled her blade out and looked down at her bit chip as it glowed vibrantly.

"What's wrong?" Micheal asked as he noticed her looking down at her beyblade.

"I don't know." she told him.

Kai made quick work out of the annoying Spainard and went back to his seat, also trying to figure out why Dranzer was acting weird, like she was both thrilled and sad. It was strange. But she was trying to tell him something, he just wasn't sure what it was or why it was important.

Emily didn't get any data out of Kai's match, which caused Judy to become irritated, while Alexis smirked. He obviously lashed out a great amount of power to distrupt the frequencies of the cameras to be unable to record them. "Clever, Hiwatari." she muttered, amused.

When Max came, she saw Kai had pointed them out to the blond and she waved down at her brother, signaling to the jocks that if they said anything bad about her brother again, she'd throw them off the balcony.

Not wanting to take the chance to upset the red eyed female, the three left, leaving the three women there to watch the match. Emily asked if Judy wanted to leave, but the blonde said she wanted to stay to collect some more data, but Alexis knew better. She saw the twinkle of pride and happiness in her blue eyes. Alexis smiled at her mother and took her hand in hers as they watched the match.

"Max!" Alexis called.

After the match, she decided to go congratulate the Bladebreakers on their victory.

"Lexi!" the blond yelled.

He ran over to his sister and pounced on her again, cuddling up to her like a child would to his mother.

She laughed as she ran her fingers through his bangs, pushing them out of his face as his team mates ran over, surprised to see her.

"What are you doing here?" asked Tyson.

Max pulled away from his sister, but still stood next to her with his usual smile.

"I came to congragulate you you guys on a great match. You had Emily and my mom realing with that new power you displayed." she said with a playful wink.

"Why are you being so nice to us?" asked Kenny.

Alexis crossed her arms, looking at him with calculating eyes.

"Why shouldn't I be?" she asked.

"We're on the opposit team as you. We're enemies and yet here you are talking to us like we're friends." Kenny said.

"What, do you want me to act like a know it all, stuck up brat like the others?" she asked her eyes narrowing.

Kenny gulped at the look he was getting from her.

"Just because my team mates are obnoxious, rude, arrogant and crude like that, doesn't mean I am. I don't like to be judged based on the people whom I'm forced to be around." she stated.

Kai looked at her, frowning as he saw the look she was giving the mousy boy. It was similar to the ones he gives whoever was unfortunate enough to get on his bad side. One only a Hiwatari should be able to duplicate.

"Uh, you're right. I'm sorry." Kenny said bowing his head to avoide her cold red eyes.

Alexis closed her eyes and took in a deep breath to calm herself before she opened them again, the icyness gone and replaced with guilt and forgivness for nearly giving the boy a heart attack.

"It's fine, but you really shoudn't judge others that quickly. It only causes problems. Why do you think the boys are so scared to get on my bad side?" she asked with a smirk, gaining one from Kai as the others laughed in good humor.

"Well, I should get going." Alexis said pulled away from the group.

"Ah, do you have to?" Max asked pouting cutely making his sister giggle at his face.

She gently cuffed him under the chin and left, feeling confused when she heard her Bit Beast cry out in pain as well as the cry of some sort of bird.

Was that Dranzer?
