So when I submitted the previous chapter LONG TIME AGO, I said that I would submit the next chapter around 2-3 days later...and once again...I LIED |D. If you read my profile, you would know why I haven't been submitting anything for a while now. I really want to submit this chapter but that's what happens when you go up grades. It means more work Dx. So I've decided that I would submit a preview of Chapter 7 so in a way, no one really has to wait for a while. I know I only haven't submitted something for only like a couple of a months, but for me it feels longer. So anyways, hopefully this makes up for those he read my story and that you guys enjoy =D. So again, this is only a preview C=. The entire thing will hopefully be submitted by mid-November or by Christmas Break. Anyways, enjoy =D

Chapter 7

Training VS Fun

"I don't mean to be a pain Kai but how long do you think we've been waiting down here?" I asked.

"I don't know. Knowing Tyson and Daichi's with them, it could take a while." He replied.

"I would have preferred going up instead of them going down." I got up from the ground and went to examine the mountain wall.

"What are you doing?" Kai asked me.

"I'm trying to look for something."

"Exactly what are you looking for?"

"A vine. You see, when I was younger, my father and I would go up this mountain a lot to train. The only problem is we both hated walking up to the top. We were very lazy people just like Tyson. Anyways, one day we decided that instead of training we would look for an easy way up the mountain without having to tire out our legs. As we were looking, we found this vine that went all the way up to the ledge where we fell from. We climbed up it and in a matter of seconds we were there." As a looked and looked, I finally found the vine my father and I used before. "See?" I said, showing Kai the green vine.

"Why didn't you say that before?" He complained.

"Well I just remembered it now." I kept on looking again hoping to find the second one. When I found it, I showed it to Kai and said, "This way we don't have to wait in line. You do know how to climb up a mountain right?" Kai took the vine and gave me a look.

"Of course. I know a lot of things rather then Beyblade." He took the vine and made sure it was secure. "Just one question….this thing is safe right?" I chuckled and pulled my vine making sure it was secure also. I put one leg up on the wall and began to make my way up it.

"Just climb near me and don't fall behind. If the vine happens to snap…good luck!" I quickly climbed up the wall leaving Kai speechless.

"Wait I-…ugh…girls." He said. He grabbed the vine and made his way up the wall.

~.xxx.~

"Hey! Where are they?" asked Daichi. "We told them to wait here!"

"Maybe they couldn't wait any longer." said Max.

"Man! Now we got to go back up the mountain!" Tyson complained. "Great! Just great!"

"Tyson quit complaining!" Hilary scolded him. "They can't be that far."

"Looking for us?" I screamed from the top. They all looked up to see me waving at them.

"How did you get up there so fast?" asked Kenny.

"I'll show ya!" With that, I took the two vines and dropped them to them. "Grab the vine and climb up the wall! You'll get up here in no time!"

"I'm not really good with this kind of stuff Valor!" Hilary screamed from below.

"I'm holding the vine and Kai will hold the other so don't worry! If either one of you fall we'll be able to pull the vine from here!" Hilary took her hands and covered her ears. She was shaking in fear.

"Don't say that Valor! I might actually fall!"

"Why don't you go first then Hilary?" Ray said trying to calm her down. "While you climb up I'll hold the bottom of the vine so this way you'll feel more safe knowing two people are holding you up."

"Thanks Ray! That sounds like a good idea!"

I smiled and chuckled at the sight of Ray trying to comfort Hilary. I turned around to see Kai leaning against the wall acting like his cool normal self.

"Hey Kai! Don't just stand there and pose like your some poster boy! Come here and hold the other vine!"

"Wow. You're pretty brave talking to me like that. I mean Tyson talks to me like that all the time but it is Tyson after all. But you…I never expected something like that from you."

"Just shut up and hold the other vine Kai! You want someone to die?"

"If it's Tyson sure." He muttered.

"Alright guys!" I said. "Come up whenever you're ready."

Hilary and Kenny were the first to climb up. Kenny struggled a bit while Hilary was shaking in fear taking a while for her to move up the vine. Next were Tyson and Max. Daichi went last with Ray because if we were to make Tyson and Daichi climb up the vine together, Ray and Max would be forced to walk up the mountain.

"Hey you guys were right! This is pretty fast!" Tyson said as he reached the ledge. "And it isn't so high up so I guess that's why."

"That's right Tyson." I said. "Tyson you mind moving 'cause Daichi's coming up now."

"Daichi's coming up huh?" Tyson had a sneaky expression on his face. "Hey Valor why don't I hold the rope and you take a break?" he asked as he tried to get the vine from me. I put the vine out of his reach and said, "First of all it's a vine Tyson and second of all unless you want to be sent to jail for the murder of Daichi then why don't you go move aside and stay there?"

"FINE!" Tyson said disappointed. He stomped to the tree and sat there like a kid going to time out.

"Y'know Valor it's not too late to push him off this mountain." said Hilary.

"I'd rather not." Kai and I pulled hard on the vine as Daichi and Ray reached the edge of the cliff.

"Whew! That was one steep wall huh?" Daichi said, wiping the sweat off his forehead. "That climbing sure worked me up an appetite."

"We're not going to eat just yet Daichi." I said. "We still haven't trained enough. We've spent the whole morning doing noting but walk up mountains and pull people up from vines."

"Oh don't forget watching a tree get attacked." Added Tyson.

"Yes that too. Anyways considering-I-chose-the-first-place-of-where-to-train-even-though-we-didn't train-there-for-a-long-time-or-really-any-training-at-all-I -" I started to choke and Daichi hit my back.

"Breathe Valor breathe!"

I finally stopped coughing and cleared my throat.

"As I was saying. Let's start fresh and by fresh I mean starting our training at a new location this time. What do you say?" Everyone nodded their head. "Alright then. Anyone has any suggestions on a location?"

"Oh I do!" said Daichi jumping up and down. "Let's go to the other side of the mountain. You see there's this cool place that I saw the last time I was here and I got to say it's a good place to train. Lot's of obstacles for our Beyblade's to go through. What'd you guys say? Huh? Huh?" Everyone felt a bit hesitant. I guess everyone was still exhausted from all the walking and climbing.

"MAN! That mean's more walking!!" complained Tyson.

"I guess a bit more walking couldn't kill us." said Max.

"Sounds great." said Ray.

"Well I guess that means more stamina building for us Kenny and we're not even bladers."

"Alright!" cheered Daichi. "This way!" Everyone followed Daichi as he led the way.

"Can someone at least carry me?" Tyson complained again. No one heard him. We all just kept on walking. "Aww man!"

So that's the end of the preview! Hopefully it was okay C=...man I use too much dialogue |D...well I do talk a lot C=
