Ruby's
Awakening
Chapter 2
Dragoon or Dragon?
The next day, the Mourning Bladebreakers received a message announcing a new tournament. "Are you guys participating?" Saint asked the team.
"Yes, of course," Kai informed her.
"Rose and I, along with our two teammates, are as well. So, we've got to go. See you next week at the opening ceremony!" She and her cousin then left, and headed to a hotel on the other side of Bey City.
In their room, they were greeted by two boys. One of them had dark blue, shoulder-length hair worn in tiny braids with clear beads. He was wearing black leather, and carrying a kendo stick. His name was Ruby.
The other boy, Telgar, had dark green hair that went down to his feet and orange eyes. He was wearing a long black sleeved shirt that could be mistaken as a dress, unseen baggy black shorts that went to his knees, and combat boots. However, that is not what he wears during battles. He also carries a staff.
"So, how is everyone doing?" Ruby asked immediately.
"Does everyone mean Kai?" Saint teased.
"Oh, shut up," Ruby said in a mellow tone.
"Yeah, yeah. And yes, everyone is fine. In fact, they are participating in next week's tournament."
"So, are we going to tell them?" Telgar asked.
"Tell them what?" Rose questioned.
"That Ruby is Tyson Granger, of course," Saint replied.
"OH, that. And no, I'm not. I'll wait, and tell them after the tournament, that way, their concentration won't be broken and they can fight at full strength," Ruby answered.
"But, what about Dragoon?" Rose inquired in confusion.
"Well, I can change his color and call him Dragon instead of Dragoon," Ruby replied as he took Dragoon out of his pocket.
Dragoon? he asked mentally.
Yes, Ruby? What is it? the dragon replied.
In the coming tournament, I'm going to need you to change colors, and answer to Dragon. I've decided I'll wait to reveal who I am.
Very well.
The connection broke, and the picture on the Bit turned black, and an 'o' disappeared from the name. Around his picture was a white background, and the Blade itself had turned black. Now, it was nearly impossible for anyone to recognize the blade as Dragoon.
"Awesome!" his three friends exclaimed in unison.
"So," Ruby began.
"What," Saint continued.
"Shall," Telgar took over.
"We," continued Rose.
"Do now!" they all finished in unison.
"You four never cease to amaze me," a woman's voice stated from the hotel door.
"You must be Mr. Dickenson," Saint said to the old man standing next to the maid who had spoken.
"Yes, and you would be Saint, the captain of your team?"
"Yes, we are. If you'd excuse me for a second? Sara, you've only known us for three days, how do we amuse you?"
"Every time I see you, you are finishing each others' sentences. Well, I must go, I'll see you later," Sara, a brown haired woman of twenty-five, said as she turned around and left the room. Saint turned to Mr. Dickenson, and continued their discussion.
"So, what do you need?" Saint asked the old man.
"Well, I wanted to tell you that you need to be at the BBA Stadium at noon next Monday."
"Very well, we will see you then."
