From Author- So, here we go with chapter 6! I'm still hoping to get more feedback but I thank those of you who did give me some. Anyway, that's all I really gotta say. Enjoy!
After the announcement was made that Max and Ray would be coming, we all headed back to Tyson's house to prepare for their arrival. Kenny had mentioned that he sent the files about the magnetic fields in the Psykick's beyblades to Max's mom, who is a researcher for beyblade technology. He had just gotten the results back and found that they were using some strange metal in it but we couldn't get access to it. However, there was a metal on the periodic table that was nearly identical to the metal. Immediately, we all decided to make beyblades featuring that metal inside it.
Anyway, it didn't take long for Ray to get here. In fact, both Ray and Max were flying in on the same day. Ray was a boy with black hair, most of which was tied back into a long, tight ponytail, and piercing golden eyes that looked almost cat-like. He wore a white kimono/cloak-like outfit that was traditional in his Chinese background.
"Ray! Over here!" Tyson called to his friend as he headed towards us. After they all said their greetings, Tyson turned to me and Hilary. "Ray, I'd like you to meet my classmate, Hilary and my twin sister, Mikayla." He explained. Both Hilary and I gave a friendly bow. Ray smiled at us.
"It's nice to meet you, girls." He had a very sweet and charming voice. Kenny and Tyson had told me that Ray was very level-headed but, like any other person, would get fired up at the right moments.
About an hour later, Max had arrived. I swear, the boy looked like a teddy bear! Blonde hair and baby blue eyes. I mean, who wouldn't find that adorable? Anyway, after Tyson introduced both me and Hilary to him, we all headed back to the house to chat. I'm sure they all wanted to catch up after awhile. They all told us their stories about the people with the invisible bitbeasts. But, eventually, we decided that focusing on Team Psykick came first.
"Max, did you bring what I asked?" Kenny asked. Max nodded. "Yup, it's in here." He said, pulling out a small case. We all stared at it. What was in it? "Chief, what's going on here?" Tyson asked. Kenny opened his laptop and began explaining.
"Remember that beyblade with the magnetic field in it? And how we said we found an element that was similar to the element they put in the blades? Well, I sent the information to Judy, Max's mom, and she created our own version of the magnetic field beyblade. She calls it 'the MG core.' Just like the other blades, when our blades would spin at very high rotation and speed, the magnetic field will kick in." He explained. A wide smile broke out on my face.
"Wow, if you guys can master that new core, you'll definitely beat Team Psykick!" I exclaimed. Kenny and Tyson looked at me. "What do you mean, 'you guys'?" Tyson asked. I blinked.
"Umm…just like I said, you guys." I repeated. Kenny grabbed one of the sets of MG cores and walked over to me. "Mikayla, I asked Judy to make five copies of this core, not four." He said and pushed the small case towards me. My eyes went wide.
"But…this is your guy's battle. I'm not a Bladebreaker. You guys are." I said. Suddenly, Tyson laughed. "What makes you say that? As far as I'm concerned, you're a part of the team now. After all, you've helped us out with these two problems so far. And also, didn't you notice back at the BBA? There were five Psykicks standing there that were representing them. So, that obviously means they see you as part of the team, so why shouldn't we?" He said. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. They wanted me to be a Bladebreaker?
"Hey, if Tyson thinks you should join, that's good enough for me too." Max said. "Same here." Ray said. Then, someone else spoke up that I wasn't expecting them to. "You are being targeted. You said so yourself. So you need to train alongside us and prepare yourself for whatever's coming. Even though you didn't know it at first but the moment that mysterious girl attacked you, you became a member of the Bladebreakers." Kai said. Everyone all smiled and nodded, agreeing with him. I couldn't believe it. I was totally stunned and speechless. Finally, I too, smiled and took the MG core from Kenny's outstretched hands.
"Thanks, you guys. It means a lot. And I promise to not let you down." I vowed. "Hey guys, before we start on using the MG core, I want to do something real quick." Tyson said. We all looked at him. "What is it, Tyson?" Kenny asked. Tyson pointed at me.
"I want to challenge you, Mikayla. It's been awhile since I've seen you blade and I want to battle against you!" He said. I remained silent for a moment then put my game face on. "Alright Tyson, you asked for it!" I said. Everyone agreed and cheered as we went out into the backyard to prepare for the battle. I got out my blade and loaded it into the launcher. Tyson did the same.
"3…2…..1….."
"LET IT RIP!"
Both our blades clashed into the stadium. Immediately, Tyson was on me. But I knew that's what he wanted. He wanted me to show him my strength. And I was going to do my best to do so.
"Go Dragoon! Don't let up on her!" Tyson cried as his blade responded to his commands, slamming into my blade numerous times. "Not so fast, Tyson. Nightwing, evade!" I cried and just as Dragoon was about to slam Nightwing again, she dodged it. "Now, counterattack!" I yelled as Nightwing slammed hard into Dragoon, knocking him into the air slightly before he landed back down onto the dish.
"Hey, not bad, Mikayla. But that's not going to keep me down for long!" Tyson said. "If it did, you wouldn't be World Champion." I replied. The battle went on for awhile. Tyson and I kept counter acting each other's moves. It was quite amazing. Even in beyblading, our moves were very similar.
"Nightwing, sideways slash!" I cried out as my blade swung around the stadium and then, as it rolled back down towards the middle of the dish, picked up speed and smashed Tyson's blade and then, continued to smash into him. Now Tyson seemed to be sweating a little bit.
"Wow Mikayla, I gotta say, you're quite the beyblader. But, I'm going to have to end this battle. Dragoon, attack!" Tyson cried out and I have no idea where from, but he suddenly got this strength and power and began counter slamming my blade until it was knocked out of the stadium. I was a bit disappointed at the loss but, I knew Tyson was better than me and I think I did a pretty good job against him. I picked up my blade and was immediately surrounded by the others.
"Hey, that was a great battle!" Max exclaimed. "I definitely want to battle you next, Mikayla!" Ray said. I couldn't help but grin. "Sure thing!" I said. Tyson smiled and walked over to me. "Welcome to the team, Mikayla. Now, who's up for some training?" He said where everyone cheered. And so began our training with the MG core.
It didn't go well. Each of us individually tried the MG core but, it ended in failure. Something just wasn't clicking. We practiced all day long but we didn't make any progress. Finally, we decided to just call it a day and get some sleep.
The next day, as we got ready to practice again, Kenny and Hilary came over where Hilary made a proposition. Kenny held up a paper that showed some kindof list. They were all certain basic moves and turns.
"What is this?" Tyson asked. "It's a training schedule! I made it myself. I figured since you guys were learning a new system, you needed to go back to basics." Hilary explained. I looked at everyone. They seemed to be thinking about it. Hey, why not? What did we have to lose? But, before anyone else said anything, Tyson automatically tossed the idea aside.
"This training is for beginners. We're the World Champions. We don't need to be using this stupid system!" He said. "It's not stupid! You guys can't even make simple turns with this new core, so why not just try this out?" Hilary said. I could smell a big fight coming and I was right. Tyson began arguing with Hilary about her schedule until he made a grab for it. Then, Hilary grabbed it and a few seconds of tugging and rip. The schedule tore right in half.
"Oh nice job, Hilary!" Tyson said. "What? Me? It wasn't my fault, it was your fault!" She cried. "My fault? Yeah right! You come in and just think you can boss us around and make this stupid schedule? Why are you even here anyway? You don't know how to beyblade and none of these battles even concern you!" He screamed out. I put my hand over my face. This wasn't good.
"Tyson, I was only trying to help…why would you…." Hilary started, sounding like she was gonna cry but then blew it off and stormed out. I could've sworn I saw a tear run down her cheek. I turned and glared at Tyson.
"I think you went a bit far, Tyson. She sounded really hurt." Ray said. "Whatever, she'll be fine." Tyson said. That was it. I wasn't going to stand by and let Tyson treat someone like that.
"You're an idiot, Tyson! Of course she knows she doesn't beyblade but she was still trying to contribute to this team. But of course, your big fat ego had to get in the way. You need to go apologize." I said, glaring at him. He glared back.
"What are you? My mother?" He retorted. "No, but you still need to apologize. Coming from a girl, I know exactly how Hilary feels. I know how much it hurts. And you should consider that." I said and went into my room. I just couldn't be around Tyson right now. He upset me way too much. I felt bad for Hilary. All she wanted to do was help. She obviously considers us her friends and she was just trying to do her best. Why couldn't Tyson see that?
I eventually had to face seeing Tyson because we continued to train with the new core. But still, we just couldn't master it. We went through another day with hardly any success. Finally, we stopped for the day and collected our thoughts in the dojo. I was still mad at Tyson and didn't want to hear him complain, so I went outside for some air. I then noticed that the two torn pieces of Hilary's schedule were still lying on the ground. I don't know why, but I felt like it would make me feel better if I taped it back together, so I did. As I finished taping it, I heard the dojo door slide open. I turned around and saw Kai walking out.
"You needed air too, huh?" I said. "I guess you could say that." He said, closing the door and sitting next to me. He gazed at the schedule, noticing that I fixed it. "I still felt bad that her hard work got ripped, so I taped it back together." I explained. Kai didn't respond to that, he just gazed at the paper. Finally, he spoke.
"I think this is exactly what we need to do." He said. I turned him with a confused look. He turned to me and gave me a small smile. "We need to go back to basics." He explained. I blinked, looked at the schedule, then back at him. Then, I smiled.
"I completely agree." I said. He nodded. "Alright then. Get up early tomorrow and we'll show the others that this is what we need to do." He said. I grinned. "You got it."
The next morning, Kai and I got up early and trained together with the MG core, following Hilary's schedule. It didn't take long for our shouts to wake up the others. When they saw that going back to basics worked, they decided to give it a shot themselves. And, finally, it was a success! We had mastered the MG core. Now, there was only one thing left to do: find Hilary and get her to come back.
We found her at the park, just taking a walk. We then showed her that we mastered the MG core. At first, she didn't seem to care but after Tyson apologized and said how much we needed her help, she decided to come back and help train us. Those last two days of training were the toughest but still the most fun. I've never been on a team before and it felt great to go through the struggles, the achievements, the training and the friendship of the team.
But then there was Kai. Everyone always said that Kai was the quiet one and only spoke when it was important but, I actually found him quite easy to talk to. I guess that happened because I grew up alongside a twin brother instead of a twin sister so I found it easier to talk to guys than girls. But, even so, I enjoyed Kai's company (not that I didn't enjoy the others but still) and he didn't seem to be bothered by me. At least, I hope I didn't bother him. I wasn't even so sure why I was caring so much about this. I should be focused on training and the battle with Team Psykick but still, something kept me drawn to Kai. Could it be possible that I was developing or have developed a crush on Kai? I wasn't so sure but I'm sure time would tell.
From Author- Longer chapter today, yay! So, we got to see Mikayla battle (figured I would add that in since we haven't tested her skill against the others) and a little more talk with Kai and it seems she likes him now. Now, what will Team Psykick will pull? And how will that help Kai and Mikayla's relationship? Only time (and reviews) will tell!
