S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S

Everyone listened as Kai started to explain what the situation was.

"So, I asked you all to come and help me train Tyson, Max, Ray, and Zeo. They need to get comfortable with street-blading or get stronger on regular blading. It's not going to be easy or short. So, if you want to step out now, go on ahead," he finished and looked at the startled faces of the teens in front of him.

"I have a question," Derrick started. "Zeo's technically not a part of the Blade Breakers. So, why does Cobra want to battle him?"

"Yeah! Zeo shouldn't be brought into this mess!" Hillary exclaimed. "They're after us not Zeo!"

Kai sighed. "They want to battle him because of his strong bit beast. They think that if they get his bit beast first, then it'll be easier to get ours. So Zeo's in this whether he wants to be or not."

"I'd be in it anyway, Kai," Zeo said.

"But, why do they want your bit beasts?" Robert asked crossing his arms and leaning against a wall.

"That I'm not sure about."

"It is hard to figure out exactly why they want something. They are a very complicated team to understand," Derrick said thoughtfully. He leaned forward and rested his chin on his hands. "It could be for anything -"

"Why can't we just ask them? I mean, we do deserve to know why they want our bit beasts. Right?" Tyson asked.

"It's not that simple -" Kai started. "They don't exactly give out information like that. Especially if it involves their next target."

Everyone was quiet for a while, until Derrick jumped off of the crate. He stood there and brushed the backside of his pants.

"Well? Why are we just standing here. As far as I know, we've got three weeks to whip you guys into shape, and it's going to take every second of it," he said.

"Yes, what would you have us do, Kai?" Robert said.

"Actually, Derrick is going to be the one in charge. Since I am part of the Blade Breakers, and have to battle, I need someone who can give out the orders and train us the correct way. Sorry to say this, but Derrick is the only one that can do this," Kai said looking at his brother for support.

Derrick seemed a little uneasy. "I don't know, Kai. You know I don't blade -"

"What?! You don't blade?!" Tyson cried looking at the slate-haired teen in shock. How could Kai pick someone to train them that doesn't blade?

"We're not blading just yet, but when we do, I'll take over. You're the only one who can help get us into shape and help our minds and bodies move the way we need to. You're the only one who knows how. Not even I can match with your speed, and you know it. I'm not telling you to help. I'm asking." Kai smiled at his brother.

"Well," Derrick said hesitantly. He scratched his chin as the blood rushed to his cheeks. This was getting embarrassing!

"Awe! He's blushing!" Tyson said.

Everyone laughed. Even Kai was trying to stifle a smile.

"I guess I can't say no after all that, huh?" he laughed.

"Cool!" Tyson cried. This was going to be fun! 'He may look like Kai, but he seems nice and fun enough. He even made Kai smile of his own free will!' Tyson thought to himself as he saw Kai's face light up as Derrick said he would train them.

"But I'm not going to be easy," the slate-haired teen said.

"We're not asking you to be," Ray said coming up to the teen and shaking his hand in a firm grip. He smiled as he saw the same intensity in the ice blue eyes as he had seen in Kai's own crimson so many times.

"Yeah! We're going to need a lot of training to make sure that we're ready to take the Cobra Blades on!" Max said stepping beside Derrick and clapping him on the shoulder.

"We're in this all together, right, guys?!" Tyson cried smiling his goofy grin.

"Right!"

"Then what would you have us do, Derrick?" Enrique asked placing his fists on his hips.

Derrick pondered for a minute. "Well, which one of you Majestics is good with a sword?"

"Why?" Johnny asked.

"Well, the Cobra Blades battle old street style, meaning they train with swords, shields, arrows, and so on. So, we need to match their speed and strength the same way. That way we know what they may plan to dish out."

"Oh. Then it's Robert. He's better at the sword then any of us," Johnny said.

"OK then. Robert, teach Tyson every little detail you know. From the hard attacks to maneuvering to defending. Got it?"

"Yes. This will be fun," Robert said a gleam of pleasure in his eyes. He was going to have a lot of fun teaching and torturing Tyson.

"Uhhhh . . . Derrick? Can't I have another partner?" Tyson whined seeing the gleam in Robert's eyes.

"No. Johnny? You teach Zeo how to fight as a knight as well. Enrique, teach Max how to make his defense stronger and when to use his attack effectively. Oliver? You teach Ray the importance of speed. Also make sure his defense and attack are equal. We don't want anyone unbalanced. OK?"

"Alright. But who has Kai?" Johnny asked. He wanted to train Kai. Other than Robert, Kai was the only other person that was as strong as him.

"Oh, don't worry about him," Derrick said glancing at his brother. He smiled. "I have plans for him."

"Ha, ha, Kai!" Tyson said.

"You won't be laughing for long, Tyson," Robert said crossing his arms. "Your training will probably be harder than Kai's."

Tyson gulped and sweat-dropped.

S-S-S-S-S-S-Twenty minutes later-S-S-S-S-S-S

Kai and Derrick were still in the alley when everyone had left. Hillary had gone home to get her camera to tape all of Tyson's training, and Kenney had gone to go have a talk with Mr. Dickenson.

Kai sighed. This was going to be a long three weeks.

Derrick looked at his brother. Kai looked tired and a bit messy. Dry blood caked the sides of his mouth and his upper arms were forming bruises. His shirt was ripped at the shoulder, and Derrick noticed the black and blue bruise that sat upon it and on his left cheek.

"You wanna clean up before we get started?" he asked. Kai just shook his head no.

Five more minutes passed before they spoke again.

"Well," Kai said looking at his brother. "What plans do you have for me exactly?"

"Something I know you're probably not going to handle easily."

"And that would be - ?"

" . . . "

S-S-S-S-S-S-S

Kenney trudged up the steps to Mr. Dickinson's office in deep thought. Who were these Cobra Blades, and how did they know Kai?

"This is so confusing," he said to himself as he rounded the corner and stopped in front of the door. Knocking first, then receiving an answer, he opened the door and closed it behind him.

Mr. Dickinson looked up. "Is there something the matter Kenney? Did the people Kai asked for not show up?"

"Oh! They showed up. I was just wondering if I could ask you a question?" he said sitting in a chair opposite of the manager.

Mr. Dickenson looked up at him, confused. "Of course you can. What is it you want to know?"

"I was wondering if you knew why Kai is so tensed up and how the Cobra Blades know him?"

"I do."

"Could you tell me?" 'Famous last words, probably,' he thought. He knew he was going to regret asking that. He barely new about Kai's past, less even about Kai.

Mr. Dickenson sighed. This was going to be very hard to explain. "Well, Kai and the Cobra Blades have not had a good history together. When Kai was little, about nine or ten . . .

- Five Year Flashback -

A tall ten-year-old boy with slate blue hair stood at the edge of an ice-covered lake, still as a tree. His arms stood outstretched, holding a red launcher with a blue and red beyblade hanging down, ready for launch. Pulling the ripcord, the boy yelled out. The blade sailed over to the middle of the ice-masked lake, landing perfectly. The boy sucked in a deep breath as a sharp pain tinged his right shoulder. His battle with that team earlier took a lot out of him, including the perfect use of his shoulder.

"You know you should be resting that arm, right, Phoenix?" a voice called from the shadowed trees, laughter and concern dripping from the calm voice.

Phoenix turned around quickly, shouting a "Who's there?"

"Relax, Phoenix," the voice said. A boy about his age walked slowly out of the shadows. He wore tan pants and shirt with a completion of brown trainers. His wavy dark hair swayed back and forth as a breeze blew between the two. He smiled, his green eyes sparkling like emeralds.

"Oh, it's just you, Keith. I thought it was one of your brothers, Cobra or Cody. You frightened me there for a minute." Phoenix laughed, causing Keith to laugh as well.

- End Flashback -

"Kai and Keith were best friends back then, always doing everything together. Keith even went to the abbey with Kai. Nothing could tear them apart, that is, except Keith's death."

Chief gasped.

Sorry it's so short. I'm running out of ideas. Any suggestions would be appreciated, definitely!

Please, R&R!
