Sorry for the grammar and spelling mistakes (gosh, I sound like a broken
record). Okay, I now have a mission. That is to write a chapter that
doesn't have bazillions of grammatical and spelling errors before I finish
this story. Also I'll try and make this chapter longer, since you guys
seem to like them better that way. Enjoy!

"Speaking"
:: Little voices::
* * *
Last Time:
Then there was Sora's grandfather. Sora refused to walk over to him, and Mr. Dickinson took noticed her distance. He was about to say something but then Mr. Tsuki approached her.
"So, the little runaway dog has appeared once again." He said harshly. Sora looked up into his eyes coldly. He glared back and slapped her across the face. The loud smack made everyone go quiet and stare in disbelief. Sora slowly stood straight again with her gaze to the floor and a very clear red hand imprint on the side of her face.
"Disgrace. NEVER look in to your superior's eyes. Now, go fetch my bags." He said angrily. Sora bowed and headed to the bus, as her grandfather sat down in one of the chairs.
~ Chapter 8: The Tournament Begins ~
Later that night, the White Tigers had left to go back to their own cabin, all the guardians had taken their child or grandchild's bed, and the Blade Breakers slept in the front room. Everyone was fairly quiet but was curious about that little outburst from Mr. Tsuki earlier.
"Sora?" Tyson finally asked, not being the one to keep his mouth shut.
"What?" She asked, already knowing the question to come.
"About earlier? What was that all about?" Everyone stared at Sora to see if they'd get a response. Sora sighed hoping she wouldn't have to talk about it, but knew it was inevitable.
"About five mouths ago, I took off; I ran away from home. I took some clothes and Fang as was out of there before you could say beyblade. That's why I'm a runaway dog. I was slapped because of my disobedience."
"Did he always do this to you?" Ray asked concerned. Sora rolled up her arm sleeve and put her arm into some light revealing several scars along her arm.
"Ouch!" Max said seeing all the painful looking marks. Sora pulled her sleeve back down.
"I got fed up with being slapped around, so I ran away."
"Why did he do that to you?" Tyson asked getting all riled up.
"The day I moved in with him he insisted I learn this and that. I wasn't much in the mood of learning anything because...my parents had just died, but he didn't seem to care about it, even though my father was his son. Then the day I got Fang, things got worse. My grandfather had paid a lot of money trying to find the legendary bit-beast. He eventually found it somewhere overseas. Fang was engraved on a stone, and grandpa would always train in front of him, trying to convince the wolf he was worthy. One day while I was training, the stone started glowing, and the black wolf appeared before me and howled. Grandpa heard the howl and ran into the training room just in time to see Fang jump in my blade accepting me to be its master. He was furious that Fang had chosen me over him, and that's when the real training began. I had to prove myself to him. I've been trying for eleven years."
"Is that why you want the ultimate blade?" Kenny asked. Sora nodded.
"If I can get the ultimate blade, then grandpa must surely see me as something other then a runaway pup."
"Well then Dragoon and I are in." Tyson said cheerfully to lighten the mood.
"Huh? In what, Tyson?" Max asked.
"We agree to the terms of fusing the blades." Sora smiled.
"Thank you."
"What about you Kai? Are you in?" Tyson asked looking at the blue/white haired boy who nodded.
"Alright then. Only two more to find." Tyson said as he got in to his sleeping bag. "Night everyone."
* * *
"Child, get up. You must train now." Sora's grandfather said kicking her in the ribs fairly hard. She flinched a little in pain as she got up and bowed. She quickly ran off to change in to her training clothes and then outside where Mr. Tsuki was waiting with his Kendo stick. "We will start with your physical training." He said in a dangerous tone. Sora bowed as she waited for her grandfather's attack.
/Great. Why'd he have to show up? / She thought then quickly focused on the task at hand as she saw her grandfather charge at her. She quickly jumped out of the way. /How come I don't get a kendo stick to defend with? / Sora complained as she dodged another attack. Her grandfather was getting irritated that he hadn't been able to hit her.
"Looks like you have continued you training after your departure, but you still are no match for me." He said as he attacked again. Sora once again jumped out of the way, but her grandfather knew she would and was waiting for her to do it. BAM!!! Sora was sent flying though the snow. She pulled herself up onto her hands and knees and saw a shadow over her. The shadow was raising something in the air. She quickly rolled out of the way as the Kendo stick came down to her previous place. She jumped up quickly ready to dodge some more.
"HEY DUDES, BREAKFAST IS READY." Mr. Kinomiya said approaching them.
"Huh?" Sora asked turning her head towards him. BAM!!! Mr. Tsuki had ignored Mr. Kinomiya and attacked. Sora let out a small yelp as she grabbed her arm where he had hit her. He raised his kendo stick again and slammed it down, but was stopped by Mr. Kinomiya's kendo stick.
"Why don'tcha take a break dude? Your breakfast will get cold if you don't." The two old guys had a staring war before Mr. Tsuki headed for the cabin. Mr. Kinomiya looked over to Sora. "Come one little dudette. Lets get you some ice." Mr. Kinomiya said helping Sora up out of the snow.
"You didn't have to do that." She said still gripping her arm.
"It was an unfair tactic anyways, little dudette. Besides, you didn't even have a kendo stick to defend with." He said pushing her gentle towards the cabin.
When they entered the cabin everyone saw Sora gripping her shoulder. Mr. Mizuhasa frowned when he saw her.
"Why don't I take a look at that?" He asked. Sora just nodded and followed him to the kitchen. Sora removed her sweater and was left in her white tank top. Mr. Mizahasa instantly noticed all the scars on her arms and an extremely red mark across one arm. "What happened to you?" He asked as he went to get an ice pack.
"Grandpa's training." She answered. Mr. Mizuhasa put the ice pack on her arm where the red mark was. Sora flinched a little from the cold and pain.
"Why don't you go into the living room with the others and I'll get you your breakfast." Mr. Mizuhasa offered. Sora bowed her thanks and left with the ice pack on her arm and her sweater in her hand. When she entered the living room again. Everyone saw the scars and frowned.
/They didn't look that bad last night. / Max thought seeing them again. She sat down in one of the seats and Mr. Mizuhasa came out with her breakfast. Sora began eating it.
"How was training?" Tyson asked.
"She needs more. Come child the break is over. We're starting your blade training now." Mr. Tsuki said and left through the front door. Sora sighed as she looked at her barely touched breakfast and laid it on the table.
"Your not actually going... Are you?" Ray asked in disbelief.
"If I don't then it will be harder next time." She said dropping the ice pack and pulled on her sweater.
"What if we come with you? Surely he wouldn't..." Max started
"NO! You do that and you'll look like me. I don't want you guys getting hurt. Just stay here." She commanded and left. Once she was outside her grandfather started commanding her on what to do.
"Launch you blade in to that dish with the snow." Sora did so. "Get the snow out now." He smirked thinking she couldn't do it. He was always demanding the most impossible from her.
"Storm Attack." Sora commanded as the blade sent all the snow out of the ring. Her grandfather was surprised but dare not show it. Sora left her blade spinning waiting for the next order.
"Hey, mind if we join in." Came a voice from behind. Sora turned and was incredibly surprised. Her whole team had come out in attempt to try and stop her beatings.
"If you think you could handle it." Mr. Tsuki smirked, almost laughing. "Launch your blades." He commanded in a very different tone. The other four did so, as Mr. Tsuki watched. He slapped Tyson on the wrist with the kendo stick. "You. Do it again. That was unacceptable." He glared.
"What did I wrong?" Tyson asked. /The blade is in the stadium isn't it? / He thought as Mr. Tsuki slapped his wrist again.
"Never question me. Do it again." He said angrily. Tyson whispered something incoherent under his breath holding his wrist as he reloaded his blade.
"Grandpa, just leave him alone." Mr. Tsuki glared at Sora and slapped her across the face. 'That jerk' ran through everyone's minds.
"What have I told you about questioning me, and calling me 'that' during training?" Mr. Tsuki screamed.
"Sensei." She said with a bowed, instantly giving up on pursuing it.
"Do it again boy." He said again turning to Tyson. Tyson grumbled a little more, but launched Dragoon.
"Again."
"WHAT? WHY?" Tyson said very irritated.
"WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT QUESTIONING ME?" Mr. Tsuki said even more irritated then Tyson.
"I don't even know what it is you think I'm doing wrong."
"EVERYTHING IS, your posture, your wrist action, EVERYTHING. NOW DO IT AGAIN."
By the end of the day, all the Blade Breakers officially hated Mr. Tsuki.
"I think I prefer Kai's training. Can you imagine? ME wanting KAI to train ME!" Tyson moaned in pain getting into his sleeping bag. Apparently Mr. Tsuki thought they were all unfit and did some more physical training. He had them run laps around the cabin, do push-ups, and sit-ups.
"I do too." Kenny complained. Mr. Tsuki also didn't approve of Kenny doing nothing but type mumbo jumbo in to his laptop.
"Well, we better get some rest. Our first match is tomorrow evening." Ray said as he slowly turned on to his stomach. "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
"He'll insist on training again tomorrow before the tournament. You're better off taking my advice and avoiding it." Sora said.
"WHAT? Again? Does he want us dead or something?" Tyson complained.
"You don't have to train with him...so don't." Sora said still trying to stop them from coming back to Mr. Tsuki's training.
The next morning Sora was awoken again with the kicking. "Child get up, you must start your training now." Sora got up again, bowed and then changed. She once again found Mr. Tsuki with his Kendo stick. He pointed to the beystadium. Sora walked in front of it and put Fang in its launcher.
"Man, I'm glad my grandpa is embarrassing instead of like that." Tyson said to the others looking out the window.
"What was that little dude?" Mr. Kinomiya asked coming out around the corner. Tyson blushed deciding to keep his mouth shut for a while.
"Oh yeah, hey guys? How about giving me your blades? I can get my dad to help me upgrade them before the match begins this evening." Kenny said remembering the match to come. Everyone took out there blades and handed it to Kenny.
"Your father works on beyblades?" Ray asked.
"Yep!" Kenny said proudly. Just then everyone appeared, having all woken up. "Hey dad? Can you give me a hand with updating their blades?"
"Sure Kenny." He said happily. Mr. Mizuhasa headed to the kitchen.
"I'll get some breakfast put on."
"Where is that young girl?" The Elder asked.
"You mean Sora. She's training again...with Mr. Tsuki." Ray answered. Pretty much all the faces faltered at that. Kai's grandfather Mr. Kaido (AN: Not sure if that's his name but that's what I read. Let me know.) was being very much like Kai and said nothing. He just stayed close to the wall and observed everyone else while thinking.
After 15 minutes or so, Mr. Mizuhasa returned with lots of pancakes. Tyson was pleased as he scooped up as much as he could on to his plate.
"Hey, Kai? Could you please let Sora and Mr. Tsuki know that breakfast is ready?" Mr. Mizuhasa asked seeing that everyone else already managed to shove food down their throats. Kai just shrugged and headed outside.
He approached them slowly and heard some of Mr. Tsuki's orders. He frowned at some of them; they were impossible. And every time Sora couldn't carry out the command, she got a hit. Mr. Tsuki final noticed Kai and glared at him.
"What do you want?" Sora turned around to see what he was talking about and saw Kai.
"Breakfast is ready." Kai said plain and simple.
"Fine, child train for another ten minutes and then you may come in and eat." Sora sighed as she turned back to do her training, but at least Mr. Tsuki left.
"You're going to need some bandages for your arms." Kai said observing her arms since she had her sleeves pulled up to her elbows. Sora frowned and quickly pulled them down around her arms looking down.
"It's okay. I'm fine."
"No you're not fine Sora. Look at your arm. It's got more strips then a tiger." Sora sighed not wanting to fight.
"Fine, I'll go and wrap them." She called back Fang and went back to the cabin with Kai.
"Hey Sora? Can I have Fang for a while?" Kenny asked seeing her enter. "Dad and I are going to upgrade everyone's blades." Sora could feel he grandfather glaring holes in to her back, so she shook her head in disagreement.
"I'll do that after." She said. Kenny didn't look too happy. He was hoping he could have done some work on it since she had let him scan Fang two days ago.
Sora headed in to the kitchen and got the first aid bandages and ointments. She removed her sweater and successfully put ointment on all the new cuts on her left arm. The problem was the bandages. She struggled trying to wrap them around her arms. Then two hands replaced the one she was using and started to wrap it for her. Sora looked up to meet Kai's beautiful eyes.
"Thank you." She said shyly. Kai didn't say anything since his main concern was her arms. As soon as he was done with the left arm he went to the other arm and applied more ointment, then started to bandage that one too.
"Why did you let him do all this to you?"
"He's stronger then me. The way I see it is to take it as it comes."
"That's not a very good motto."
"No, its not, but...its all I got."
Kai finished bandaging Sora's arms. "You should fight back sometimes. Family or not, look at how he's treating you. Promise you'll think about that."
"I promise." Kai nodded and the two enter the living room, with the others to get some breakfast.
After breakfast and Mr. Tsuki told Sora to upgrade her blade. Sora just bowed with a sigh and got to work.
Meanwhile Tyson and the rest were having some fun in the snow. Mr. Tsuki, Mr. Kaido and Kai were watching out of boredom from the veranda and, Kenny and his father were busy upgrading the other's blades.
"Hey grandpa. Why don't you surrender? You can't win." Tyson said slyly.
"Oh, I don't know about that little dude." Mr. Kinomiya responded. They both had fire in there eyes as they stared each other down.
"Come on Tyson. Hurry up and help us build the fort. We can't win if we have no protection." Ray called from behind their snow wall, which was something very similar to what the Elder said calling back Mr. Kinomiya.
"Ready?" Mr. Dickinson asked from the sidelines. Everyone nodded. "Okay. On team one, we have the Blade Breakers consisting of Tyson, Max, and Ray. On team two, we have the Better Breakers consisting of Mr. Kinomiya, Mr. Mizuhasa, and the Elder." He said sounding like Jazzman.
"WHAT? Better Breakers. I resent that you name stealing fiends." Tyson screamed over the wall, as the Better Breakers snickered.
"Ready... set... GO!!!" Mr. Dickinson called.
Both teams started packing snowballs having one man watching to make sure the other team didn't try anything funny.
"Okay were ready." Ray said picking up one of the balls and launched it at the Better Breakers' watchman, Mr. Kinomiya.
"WERE UNDER ATTACK!!! CODE RED, CODE RED!!!!" Mr. Kinomiya screamed diving into their fort. Everyone laughed at his enthusiasm, but the boys kept up their assault until they ran out off snowballs. "ALRIGHT MEN! THEY'RE OUT OF AMUNATION! NOW LET'S HIT THEM WHERE IT HURTS!" He said as he threw a snowball. The Blade Breakers couldn't believe how many snowballs they had. There was no way they could throw one without being hit.
"I know." Ray said removing his bandana. He instructed Max and Tyson to each pull on one side tightly. He placed a snowball in it and catapulted it over their wall, using the bandana like a slingshot nearly missing Mr. Mizuhasa.
"He he he. I taught him that one." The Elder laughed as he removed his scarf, and did the same thing.
After about an hour, they gave up.
"And the winners are the Better Breakers." Mr. Dickinson yelled out. The Better Breakers started doing little victory dances to tease the boys.
"I told you, you little dudes wouldn't win." Mr. Kinomiya chirped.
"I demand a rematch." Tyson screamed.
"No time, Tyson. We just finished your blades and we got to get going to the China Towers. If were late we will get disqualified."
"Oh, alright Chief." Tyson muttered, but still wanted the rematch.
"Here are your blades. They are now at their best. Now I'll go get Sora and well be on our way."
* * *
When they reached the China Towers, they couldn't believe how many people there were in the stands. There were also a lot of other teams.
"WOW! Would you check this place out?" Tyson said looking around amazed. After about 20 minutes the real Jazzman appeared.
"HEY EVERYONE. ARE YOU READY TO SEE SOME ACTION?" The crowd screamed. "I CAN'T HEAR YOU." The crowd screamed even louder. "ALRIGHT THEN. IT'S THE BEST 3 OF 5 MATCHES. OUR FIRST BATTLE IS THE BLADE BREAKERS UP AGAINST THE GODS."
"Gosh, they don't think much of themselves." Tyson muttered.
"WOULD BOTH TEAMS REPORT TO THE BOXES AND SEND OUT YOUR FIRST WARRIOR." Both teams rushed to the boxes.
"Okay guys. I think we should have Max start us off. Since Max is a defense type, we should be able to see what they can do. Then we will have Ray, Tyson, Kai, and Sora. Is that okay with everyone?" Kenny asked. Everyone nodded and Max approached the beystadium, and waited for the other team to send out his challenger. They sent in a young girl with short black hair. She was wearing lots of amour and had a broad sword.
"Good luck." Max said setting his newly modified Draciel to his launcher. The opponent didn't say anything.
"OH, THE TENSIONS BUILDING BETWEEN THOSE TWO" said A.J. Topper.
"THAT IT IS. WELL LETS SEE WHAT WE HAVE HERE. IT SAYS THAT MAX USES A DEFENSIVE STYLE BEYBLADE AND LUCY USES PURE POWER." Brad Best said.
"WELL LET'S GET BACK TOO JAZZMAN FOR SOME ACTION."
"ARE YOU READY, THREE...TWO...ONE...LET IT RRRIIIIIIPPPPPPP." Screamed Jazzman.
"LET'S DO IT DRACIEL." Screamed Max as he pulling the ripcord.
"GO ARIES." The opponent screamed as she swung her sword to launcher her blade. "Your doomed." She smirked.
"We'll see about that. DRACIEL GO!!!" Max screamed as Draciel rose out of its blade.
"ARIES!!!" She screamed as a man wearing black amour who wielding a sword rose. It was similar to what the blader had on. "Meet Aries, the God of War." She smirked again, and Aries attack Draciel with his sword, but to everyone's surprise Draciel's shell was hard enough to withstand the blow.
"NOW DRACIEL, WHILE IT'S GUARD IS DOWN." Draciel roared and charged at Aries. Aries' blade flew out of the ring and landed behind Max.
"AND THE WINNER IS MAX FROM THE BLADE BREAKERS." Jazzman declared.
"YEAH, WAY TO GO MAX!" Tyson screamed. "Man Chief whatever you did really work."
"THAT'S MY BOY." Mr. Mizuhasa said from the stands. Max picked up Aries and headed for the girl.
"I can't believe I lost." She said angrily pounding the ground with her fist, and then noticed her blade was being held out in front of her.
"Good battle." Max said smiling. The girl took her blade and smiled.
"Thanks for saying so, but I was no match." Then she headed back to the stands, as did Max.
"Way to go Max. You smoked her." Tyson said, while Ray approached the stadium. The next challenger was also a girl. She had silver hair, and was wearing all white.
"Good luck." She said to Ray.
"Thanks. Good luck to you too."
"WELL A.J. IT LOOKS LIKE THE GODS ARE SENDING IN NIKKI."
"YES IT DOES, AND THE BLADE BREAKERS ARE SENDING IN RAY TO TRY AND MAKE IT TWO-NOTHING."
"NIKKI USES POWER AS WELL BUT ALSO HAS SOME NICE SPEED. WITH HER BIT- BEAST, SHE HAS ALWAYS COME OUT ON TOP. CAN RAY'S BIT-BEAST END THIS WINNING STREAK?"
"THREE...TWO...ONE...LET IT RRRIIIIIIPPPPPPP."
"GO DRIGER." Ray yelled launching his blade.
"GO KUNAMA." She yelled launching it the same way. (AN: Thanks to Nightswift for the name.) Both blades were launched in circling the dome. Finally Ray decided to go on the offensive.
"DRIGER TIGER CLAW ATTACK."
"LET'S FINISH THIS FAST. COSMIC STORM!!!" The blade reacted and a white horse with wings appeared. The Blade Breakers eyes widen.
"Sora, is that..." Kenny asked
"Another legendary blade." Tyson finished. Sora nodded just as surprised as the others.
/I've been searching for these blades ever since I ran away from home, and now I have found the forth one in a little more then a week by joining the Blade Breakers. / She thought smiling.
Kunama created a ball of light above it and numerous lights in the shape of stars started hitting Driger, sending the blade flying outside the ring.
"OUCH!!! AND THE GODS WIN THAT ROUND."
"Good battle. Can we talk after the match?"
"Why?" The girl asked surprised.
"My friend is going to want to meet you, to talk about your bit-beast." The girl looked at him with dagger eyes. "I swear. We just want to talk." He said waving defensible. The girl slowly nodded.
"But my team is coming."
"Of course" They both turned to leave and Tyson ran up eagerly ready to battle. The third and final girl of the team stepped up. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. She was wearing all red and pink, with a TON of make- up on. She winked at Tyson as she loaded her blade on the launcher. Tyson blushed crimson as he fumbled with his blade and launcher.
"THE GODS ARE NOW SENDING IN LILY. SHE'S NOT THE SWEETHEART SHE SEEMS."
"WELL NEITHER IS TYSON. WITH HIS DRAGOON, TYSON CAN ALWAYS TAKE OUT HIS OPPOENTS."
"THREE...TWO...ONE...LET IT RRRIIIIIIPPPPPPP."
"GO DRAGOON." Tyson screamed.
"LETS DO IT APHRODITE." She said as she moved her risk in the motion of blowing a kiss to launch her blade.
"Uh oh!" Sora said.
"What?" The others asked.
"I remember reading this book. It talked all about these gods. Aries, the God of War, and Aphrodite, the God of Love." Sora said as they all watched the battle.
"APHRODITE, CHARM ATTACK." The blade circled Dragoon leaving a trail of red mist where it went. Dragoon started acting funny then.
"DRAGOON?" It almost seem like the blade was on cloud nine.
"FINISH IT, ROSE WHIP." The blade rushed at Dragoon and made a quick turn back making a whip sound as Dragoon landed out of the ring.
"AND THE GODS TAKE THE THIRD MATCH MAKING IT TWO TO ONE. THE BLADE BREAKERS NEED TO WIN THE NEXT TWO IF THEY WANT TO CONTINUE INTO THE NEXT ROUNDS."
"Good battle." Tyson called out. The girl winked, blew him a kiss, and then walked away. Tyson headed back to the others. "Sorry guys." Kai grunted and headed to the stadium. This time a guy came out. He was wearing all blue and was carrying a Trident. Neither blader said a word as they prepare to battle.
"OHHHH, THE BLADE BREAKERS ARE CALLING IN THE BIG GUNS. KAI IS THE TEAM LEADER AND WITH HIS DRANZER HE DEMOLISHES ANYTHING THAT GETS IN HIS WAY."
"BUT DON'T FORGET ABOUT JUSTIN. WITH HIS BIT-BEAST, THIS WILL BE QUITE A MATCH."
"THREE...TWO...ONE...LET IT RRRIIIIIIPPPPPPP."
"GO DRANZER." Kai screamed
"GO POSEIDON." The other boy called swinging his trident to launch his blade.
/Kai's in trouble, Poseidon is the God of the Sea, and Dranzer is a fire element. / Thought Sora from the box.
"FLOOD." The boy ordered. Then the stadium started to fill with water that seemed to be made by the blade.
/OH CRAP. Think Kai, THINK!!! / Kai thought trying to figure out a way to stop this. He would have no chance in the water, and he HAD to win this match. Not just for his title, but the whole teams.
/Come on Kai. Remember our training; remember that attack. It's your only way out. / Sora screamed in her head. The water was at about a quarter way up. Dranzer was circling the rim, while Poseidon waited patiently under the water. Kai was beginning to panic as he batted his brain for an attack that he could use, and then he remembered one Sora taught him. He gave a wicked grin that scared the other boy.
"DRANZER USE YOUR HEAT ATTACK AND DIVE IN." Dranzer started glowing and dove in. The heat from the blade started to evaporate the water faster then the Poseidon was supplying it.
"NOOOOO!!!"
"HEY! When did Kai learn that?" Tyson asked.
"I dunno. Maybe if you attended all the practices you'd know." Kenny said as he had Dizzi scanning the blades.
"That's cold Chief." Tyson said as he hung his head.
"NOW DRANZER. FIRE ARROW." Dranzer jumped up and landed on one side of Poseidon. Poseidon began to wobble and Dranzer came up from behind and knocked it out.
"AND THE BLADE BREAKERS PULLED ANOTHER ONE OUT OF THE HAT." Jazzman screamed, as the two picked up their blades and headed for their boxes without another word.
"IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS BRAD. ITS ALL OR NOTHING NOW." A.J. Topper said. Sora got up and headed to the stadium, as did the last member of the other team.
"OH, BUT WHO WILL WIN? SORA IS THE ROOKIE ON THE TEAM. CAN SHE BEAT THE GODS' TEAM LEADER RYAN?"
"You won't win." He said, glaring Sora down.
"Talk is cheap little boy." Sora said coolly while setting Fang up.
"Fine, I'll show you action. No way a rookie is going to beat me." He said irritated while also setting up his blade.
"THREE...TWO...ONE...LET IT RRRIIIIIIPPPPPPP."
"GO FANG."
"GO ZUES."
/Figures. He's the leader, and he has the God of Gods. / Sora thought smirking. Ryan saw this smirk and got angry.
"I'll finish this fast, just to show you how bad you are. THUNDERBOLT!!!" Ryan screamed
"AGILITY AND BITE COMBO." Zeus launched a large spark created by the friction at Fang who disappeared and reappeared behind Zeus. It then used its bite attack and sent it out of the stadium. Sora lifted her hand a Fang jumped in to it.
"THE BLADE BREAKERS MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ROUND." Jazzman screamed as the crowd went wild for the rookie wonder.
"UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! THE BATTLE DIDN'T GIVE THE FAT LADY ENOUGH TIME TO SING THE FIRST NOTE." A.J. Topper said in to the microphone.
"IT SEEMS THE BLADE BREAKERS' ROOKIE HAS SPUNK. AND THAT CONCLUDES TODAYS BATTLES." Brad Best finished.
"You should have listened to the announcements more carefully. I am a rookie on the team, NOT a rookie." Sora then headed for the opposite box where the opponents were. She approached the girl from Ray's match. "Can we please talk?" Sora asked.
"I already agreed to your friend. We'll meet you outside." Sora nodded and headed back to the others and told them.
- Outside -
"Do you know anything about that blade?" Sora asked Nikki.
"Of course." /What kind of stupid question is that? / She thought.
"You caught it, right?" Sora asked again. Nikki was incredible surprised. She had never told anyone about the day she found Kunama. "Do you know it's a legendary blade, and has the ability to become apart of the best blade this world has ever seen?" Sora asked, but Nikki seem confused. Sora explained everything and the girl and her team gasped.
"So what if I captured it. That means nothing." She said but was still very surprised Sora had known about the capture.
"So you're not willing to try and merge your blade with ours?" Sora asked.
"I didn't say that. I am interested, but how am I supposed to know this isn't some kind of trick. You might just steal my blade."
"Do you really think I'd do that?" Sora asked, as Nikki judged her.
"Alright." She said unsure. "Only, if the last blade appears before the tournament ends."
"Deal." Sora said shaking her hands as they split up and headed to their buses.

Last Time:
Then there was Sora's grandfather. Sora refused to walk over to him, and Mr. Dickinson took noticed her distance. He was about to say something but then Mr. Tsuki approached her.
"So, the little runaway dog has appeared once again." He said harshly. Sora looked up into his eyes coldly. He glared back and slapped her across the face. The loud smack made everyone go quiet and stare in disbelief. Sora slowly stood straight again with her gaze to the floor and a very clear red hand imprint on the side of her face.
"Disgrace. NEVER look in to your superior's eyes. Now, go fetch my bags." He said angrily. Sora bowed and headed to the bus, as her grandfather sat down in one of the chairs.
~ Chapter 8: The Tournament Begins ~
Later that night, the White Tigers had left to go back to their own cabin, all the guardians had taken their child or grandchild's bed, and the Blade Breakers slept in the front room. Everyone was fairly quiet but was curious about that little outburst from Mr. Tsuki earlier.
"Sora?" Tyson finally asked, not being the one to keep his mouth shut.
"What?" She asked, already knowing the question to come.
"About earlier? What was that all about?" Everyone stared at Sora to see if they'd get a response. Sora sighed hoping she wouldn't have to talk about it, but knew it was inevitable.
"About five mouths ago, I took off; I ran away from home. I took some clothes and Fang as was out of there before you could say beyblade. That's why I'm a runaway dog. I was slapped because of my disobedience."
"Did he always do this to you?" Ray asked concerned. Sora rolled up her arm sleeve and put her arm into some light revealing several scars along her arm.
"Ouch!" Max said seeing all the painful looking marks. Sora pulled her sleeve back down.
"I got fed up with being slapped around, so I ran away."
"Why did he do that to you?" Tyson asked getting all riled up.
"The day I moved in with him he insisted I learn this and that. I wasn't much in the mood of learning anything because...my parents had just died, but he didn't seem to care about it, even though my father was his son. Then the day I got Fang, things got worse. My grandfather had paid a lot of money trying to find the legendary bit-beast. He eventually found it somewhere overseas. Fang was engraved on a stone, and grandpa would always train in front of him, trying to convince the wolf he was worthy. One day while I was training, the stone started glowing, and the black wolf appeared before me and howled. Grandpa heard the howl and ran into the training room just in time to see Fang jump in my blade accepting me to be its master. He was furious that Fang had chosen me over him, and that's when the real training began. I had to prove myself to him. I've been trying for eleven years."
"Is that why you want the ultimate blade?" Kenny asked. Sora nodded.
"If I can get the ultimate blade, then grandpa must surely see me as something other then a runaway pup."
"Well then Dragoon and I are in." Tyson said cheerfully to lighten the mood.
"Huh? In what, Tyson?" Max asked.
"We agree to the terms of fusing the blades." Sora smiled.
"Thank you."
"What about you Kai? Are you in?" Tyson asked looking at the blue/white haired boy who nodded.
"Alright then. Only two more to find." Tyson said as he got in to his sleeping bag. "Night everyone."
* * *
"Child, get up. You must train now." Sora's grandfather said kicking her in the ribs fairly hard. She flinched a little in pain as she got up and bowed. She quickly ran off to change in to her training clothes and then outside where Mr. Tsuki was waiting with his Kendo stick. "We will start with your physical training." He said in a dangerous tone. Sora bowed as she waited for her grandfather's attack.
/Great. Why'd he have to show up? / She thought then quickly focused on the task at hand as she saw her grandfather charge at her. She quickly jumped out of the way. /How come I don't get a kendo stick to defend with? / Sora complained as she dodged another attack. Her grandfather was getting irritated that he hadn't been able to hit her.
"Looks like you have continued you training after your departure, but you still are no match for me." He said as he attacked again. Sora once again jumped out of the way, but her grandfather knew she would and was waiting for her to do it. BAM!!! Sora was sent flying though the snow. She pulled herself up onto her hands and knees and saw a shadow over her. The shadow was raising something in the air. She quickly rolled out of the way as the Kendo stick came down to her previous place. She jumped up quickly ready to dodge some more.
"HEY DUDES, BREAKFAST IS READY." Mr. Kinomiya said approaching them.
"Huh?" Sora asked turning her head towards him. BAM!!! Mr. Tsuki had ignored Mr. Kinomiya and attacked. Sora let out a small yelp as she grabbed her arm where he had hit her. He raised his kendo stick again and slammed it down, but was stopped by Mr. Kinomiya's kendo stick.
"Why don'tcha take a break dude? Your breakfast will get cold if you don't." The two old guys had a staring war before Mr. Tsuki headed for the cabin. Mr. Kinomiya looked over to Sora. "Come one little dudette. Lets get you some ice." Mr. Kinomiya said helping Sora up out of the snow.
"You didn't have to do that." She said still gripping her arm.
"It was an unfair tactic anyways, little dudette. Besides, you didn't even have a kendo stick to defend with." He said pushing her gentle towards the cabin.
When they entered the cabin everyone saw Sora gripping her shoulder. Mr. Mizuhasa frowned when he saw her.
"Why don't I take a look at that?" He asked. Sora just nodded and followed him to the kitchen. Sora removed her sweater and was left in her white tank top. Mr. Mizahasa instantly noticed all the scars on her arms and an extremely red mark across one arm. "What happened to you?" He asked as he went to get an ice pack.
"Grandpa's training." She answered. Mr. Mizuhasa put the ice pack on her arm where the red mark was. Sora flinched a little from the cold and pain.
"Why don't you go into the living room with the others and I'll get you your breakfast." Mr. Mizuhasa offered. Sora bowed her thanks and left with the ice pack on her arm and her sweater in her hand. When she entered the living room again. Everyone saw the scars and frowned.
/They didn't look that bad last night. / Max thought seeing them again. She sat down in one of the seats and Mr. Mizuhasa came out with her breakfast. Sora began eating it.
"How was training?" Tyson asked.
"She needs more. Come child the break is over. We're starting your blade training now." Mr. Tsuki said and left through the front door. Sora sighed as she looked at her barely touched breakfast and laid it on the table.
"Your not actually going... Are you?" Ray asked in disbelief.
"If I don't then it will be harder next time." She said dropping the ice pack and pulled on her sweater.
"What if we come with you? Surely he wouldn't..." Max started
"NO! You do that and you'll look like me. I don't want you guys getting hurt. Just stay here." She commanded and left. Once she was outside her grandfather started commanding her on what to do.
"Launch you blade in to that dish with the snow." Sora did so. "Get the snow out now." He smirked thinking she couldn't do it. He was always demanding the most impossible from her.
"Storm Attack." Sora commanded as the blade sent all the snow out of the ring. Her grandfather was surprised but dare not show it. Sora left her blade spinning waiting for the next order.
"Hey, mind if we join in." Came a voice from behind. Sora turned and was incredibly surprised. Her whole team had come out in attempt to try and stop her beatings.
"If you think you could handle it." Mr. Tsuki smirked, almost laughing. "Launch your blades." He commanded in a very different tone. The other four did so, as Mr. Tsuki watched. He slapped Tyson on the wrist with the kendo stick. "You. Do it again. That was unacceptable." He glared.
"What did I wrong?" Tyson asked. /The blade is in the stadium isn't it? / He thought as Mr. Tsuki slapped his wrist again.
"Never question me. Do it again." He said angrily. Tyson whispered something incoherent under his breath holding his wrist as he reloaded his blade.
"Grandpa, just leave him alone." Mr. Tsuki glared at Sora and slapped her across the face. 'That jerk' ran through everyone's minds.
"What have I told you about questioning me, and calling me 'that' during training?" Mr. Tsuki screamed.
"Sensei." She said with a bowed, instantly giving up on pursuing it.
"Do it again boy." He said again turning to Tyson. Tyson grumbled a little more, but launched Dragoon.
"Again."
"WHAT? WHY?" Tyson said very irritated.
"WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT QUESTIONING ME?" Mr. Tsuki said even more irritated then Tyson.
"I don't even know what it is you think I'm doing wrong."
"EVERYTHING IS, your posture, your wrist action, EVERYTHING. NOW DO IT AGAIN."
By the end of the day, all the Blade Breakers officially hated Mr. Tsuki.
"I think I prefer Kai's training. Can you imagine? ME wanting KAI to train ME!" Tyson moaned in pain getting into his sleeping bag. Apparently Mr. Tsuki thought they were all unfit and did some more physical training. He had them run laps around the cabin, do push-ups, and sit-ups.
"I do too." Kenny complained. Mr. Tsuki also didn't approve of Kenny doing nothing but type mumbo jumbo in to his laptop.
"Well, we better get some rest. Our first match is tomorrow evening." Ray said as he slowly turned on to his stomach. "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
"He'll insist on training again tomorrow before the tournament. You're better off taking my advice and avoiding it." Sora said.
"WHAT? Again? Does he want us dead or something?" Tyson complained.
"You don't have to train with him...so don't." Sora said still trying to stop them from coming back to Mr. Tsuki's training.
The next morning Sora was awoken again with the kicking. "Child get up, you must start your training now." Sora got up again, bowed and then changed. She once again found Mr. Tsuki with his Kendo stick. He pointed to the beystadium. Sora walked in front of it and put Fang in its launcher.
"Man, I'm glad my grandpa is embarrassing instead of like that." Tyson said to the others looking out the window.
"What was that little dude?" Mr. Kinomiya asked coming out around the corner. Tyson blushed deciding to keep his mouth shut for a while.
"Oh yeah, hey guys? How about giving me your blades? I can get my dad to help me upgrade them before the match begins this evening." Kenny said remembering the match to come. Everyone took out there blades and handed it to Kenny.
"Your father works on beyblades?" Ray asked.
"Yep!" Kenny said proudly. Just then everyone appeared, having all woken up. "Hey dad? Can you give me a hand with updating their blades?"
"Sure Kenny." He said happily. Mr. Mizuhasa headed to the kitchen.
"I'll get some breakfast put on."
"Where is that young girl?" The Elder asked.
"You mean Sora. She's training again...with Mr. Tsuki." Ray answered. Pretty much all the faces faltered at that. Kai's grandfather Mr. Kaido (AN: Not sure if that's his name but that's what I read. Let me know.) was being very much like Kai and said nothing. He just stayed close to the wall and observed everyone else while thinking.
After 15 minutes or so, Mr. Mizuhasa returned with lots of pancakes. Tyson was pleased as he scooped up as much as he could on to his plate.
"Hey, Kai? Could you please let Sora and Mr. Tsuki know that breakfast is ready?" Mr. Mizuhasa asked seeing that everyone else already managed to shove food down their throats. Kai just shrugged and headed outside.
He approached them slowly and heard some of Mr. Tsuki's orders. He frowned at some of them; they were impossible. And every time Sora couldn't carry out the command, she got a hit. Mr. Tsuki final noticed Kai and glared at him.
"What do you want?" Sora turned around to see what he was talking about and saw Kai.
"Breakfast is ready." Kai said plain and simple.
"Fine, child train for another ten minutes and then you may come in and eat." Sora sighed as she turned back to do her training, but at least Mr. Tsuki left.
"You're going to need some bandages for your arms." Kai said observing her arms since she had her sleeves pulled up to her elbows. Sora frowned and quickly pulled them down around her arms looking down.
"It's okay. I'm fine."
"No you're not fine Sora. Look at your arm. It's got more strips then a tiger." Sora sighed not wanting to fight.
"Fine, I'll go and wrap them." She called back Fang and went back to the cabin with Kai.
"Hey Sora? Can I have Fang for a while?" Kenny asked seeing her enter. "Dad and I are going to upgrade everyone's blades." Sora could feel he grandfather glaring holes in to her back, so she shook her head in disagreement.
"I'll do that after." She said. Kenny didn't look too happy. He was hoping he could have done some work on it since she had let him scan Fang two days ago.
Sora headed in to the kitchen and got the first aid bandages and ointments. She removed her sweater and successfully put ointment on all the new cuts on her left arm. The problem was the bandages. She struggled trying to wrap them around her arms. Then two hands replaced the one she was using and started to wrap it for her. Sora looked up to meet Kai's beautiful eyes.
"Thank you." She said shyly. Kai didn't say anything since his main concern was her arms. As soon as he was done with the left arm he went to the other arm and applied more ointment, then started to bandage that one too.
"Why did you let him do all this to you?"
"He's stronger then me. The way I see it is to take it as it comes."
"That's not a very good motto."
"No, its not, but...its all I got."
Kai finished bandaging Sora's arms. "You should fight back sometimes. Family or not, look at how he's treating you. Promise you'll think about that."
"I promise." Kai nodded and the two enter the living room, with the others to get some breakfast.
After breakfast and Mr. Tsuki told Sora to upgrade her blade. Sora just bowed with a sigh and got to work.
Meanwhile Tyson and the rest were having some fun in the snow. Mr. Tsuki, Mr. Kaido and Kai were watching out of boredom from the veranda and, Kenny and his father were busy upgrading the other's blades.
"Hey grandpa. Why don't you surrender? You can't win." Tyson said slyly.
"Oh, I don't know about that little dude." Mr. Kinomiya responded. They both had fire in there eyes as they stared each other down.
"Come on Tyson. Hurry up and help us build the fort. We can't win if we have no protection." Ray called from behind their snow wall, which was something very similar to what the Elder said calling back Mr. Kinomiya.
"Ready?" Mr. Dickinson asked from the sidelines. Everyone nodded. "Okay. On team one, we have the Blade Breakers consisting of Tyson, Max, and Ray. On team two, we have the Better Breakers consisting of Mr. Kinomiya, Mr. Mizuhasa, and the Elder." He said sounding like Jazzman.
"WHAT? Better Breakers. I resent that you name stealing fiends." Tyson screamed over the wall, as the Better Breakers snickered.
"Ready... set... GO!!!" Mr. Dickinson called.
Both teams started packing snowballs having one man watching to make sure the other team didn't try anything funny.
"Okay were ready." Ray said picking up one of the balls and launched it at the Better Breakers' watchman, Mr. Kinomiya.
"WERE UNDER ATTACK!!! CODE RED, CODE RED!!!!" Mr. Kinomiya screamed diving into their fort. Everyone laughed at his enthusiasm, but the boys kept up their assault until they ran out off snowballs. "ALRIGHT MEN! THEY'RE OUT OF AMUNATION! NOW LET'S HIT THEM WHERE IT HURTS!" He said as he threw a snowball. The Blade Breakers couldn't believe how many snowballs they had. There was no way they could throw one without being hit.
"I know." Ray said removing his bandana. He instructed Max and Tyson to each pull on one side tightly. He placed a snowball in it and catapulted it over their wall, using the bandana like a slingshot nearly missing Mr. Mizuhasa.
"He he he. I taught him that one." The Elder laughed as he removed his scarf, and did the same thing.
After about an hour, they gave up.
"And the winners are the Better Breakers." Mr. Dickinson yelled out. The Better Breakers started doing little victory dances to tease the boys.
"I told you, you little dudes wouldn't win." Mr. Kinomiya chirped.
"I demand a rematch." Tyson screamed.
"No time, Tyson. We just finished your blades and we got to get going to the China Towers. If were late we will get disqualified."
"Oh, alright Chief." Tyson muttered, but still wanted the rematch.
"Here are your blades. They are now at their best. Now I'll go get Sora and well be on our way."
* * *
When they reached the China Towers, they couldn't believe how many people there were in the stands. There were also a lot of other teams.
"WOW! Would you check this place out?" Tyson said looking around amazed. After about 20 minutes the real Jazzman appeared.
"HEY EVERYONE. ARE YOU READY TO SEE SOME ACTION?" The crowd screamed. "I CAN'T HEAR YOU." The crowd screamed even louder. "ALRIGHT THEN. IT'S THE BEST 3 OF 5 MATCHES. OUR FIRST BATTLE IS THE BLADE BREAKERS UP AGAINST THE GODS."
"Gosh, they don't think much of themselves." Tyson muttered.
"WOULD BOTH TEAMS REPORT TO THE BOXES AND SEND OUT YOUR FIRST WARRIOR." Both teams rushed to the boxes.
"Okay guys. I think we should have Max start us off. Since Max is a defense type, we should be able to see what they can do. Then we will have Ray, Tyson, Kai, and Sora. Is that okay with everyone?" Kenny asked. Everyone nodded and Max approached the beystadium, and waited for the other team to send out his challenger. They sent in a young girl with short black hair. She was wearing lots of amour and had a broad sword.
"Good luck." Max said setting his newly modified Draciel to his launcher. The opponent didn't say anything.
"OH, THE TENSIONS BUILDING BETWEEN THOSE TWO" said A.J. Topper.
"THAT IT IS. WELL LETS SEE WHAT WE HAVE HERE. IT SAYS THAT MAX USES A DEFENSIVE STYLE BEYBLADE AND LUCY USES PURE POWER." Brad Best said.
"WELL LET'S GET BACK TOO JAZZMAN FOR SOME ACTION."
"ARE YOU READY, THREE...TWO...ONE...LET IT RRRIIIIIIPPPPPPP." Screamed Jazzman.
"LET'S DO IT DRACIEL." Screamed Max as he pulling the ripcord.
"GO ARIES." The opponent screamed as she swung her sword to launcher her blade. "Your doomed." She smirked.
"We'll see about that. DRACIEL GO!!!" Max screamed as Draciel rose out of its blade.
"ARIES!!!" She screamed as a man wearing black amour who wielding a sword rose. It was similar to what the blader had on. "Meet Aries, the God of War." She smirked again, and Aries attack Draciel with his sword, but to everyone's surprise Draciel's shell was hard enough to withstand the blow.
"NOW DRACIEL, WHILE IT'S GUARD IS DOWN." Draciel roared and charged at Aries. Aries' blade flew out of the ring and landed behind Max.
"AND THE WINNER IS MAX FROM THE BLADE BREAKERS." Jazzman declared.
"YEAH, WAY TO GO MAX!" Tyson screamed. "Man Chief whatever you did really work."
"THAT'S MY BOY." Mr. Mizuhasa said from the stands. Max picked up Aries and headed for the girl.
"I can't believe I lost." She said angrily pounding the ground with her fist, and then noticed her blade was being held out in front of her.
"Good battle." Max said smiling. The girl took her blade and smiled.
"Thanks for saying so, but I was no match." Then she headed back to the stands, as did Max.
"Way to go Max. You smoked her." Tyson said, while Ray approached the stadium. The next challenger was also a girl. She had silver hair, and was wearing all white.
"Good luck." She said to Ray.
"Thanks. Good luck to you too."
"WELL A.J. IT LOOKS LIKE THE GODS ARE SENDING IN NIKKI."
"YES IT DOES, AND THE BLADE BREAKERS ARE SENDING IN RAY TO TRY AND MAKE IT TWO-NOTHING."
"NIKKI USES POWER AS WELL BUT ALSO HAS SOME NICE SPEED. WITH HER BIT- BEAST, SHE HAS ALWAYS COME OUT ON TOP. CAN RAY'S BIT-BEAST END THIS WINNING STREAK?"
"THREE...TWO...ONE...LET IT RRRIIIIIIPPPPPPP."
"GO DRIGER." Ray yelled launching his blade.
"GO KUNAMA." She yelled launching it the same way. (AN: Thanks to Nightswift for the name.) Both blades were launched in circling the dome. Finally Ray decided to go on the offensive.
"DRIGER TIGER CLAW ATTACK."
"LET'S FINISH THIS FAST. COSMIC STORM!!!" The blade reacted and a white horse with wings appeared. The Blade Breakers eyes widen.
"Sora, is that..." Kenny asked
"Another legendary blade." Tyson finished. Sora nodded just as surprised as the others.
/I've been searching for these blades ever since I ran away from home, and now I have found the forth one in a little more then a week by joining the Blade Breakers. / She thought smiling.
Kunama created a ball of light above it and numerous lights in the shape of stars started hitting Driger, sending the blade flying outside the ring.
"OUCH!!! AND THE GODS WIN THAT ROUND."
"Good battle. Can we talk after the match?"
"Why?" The girl asked surprised.
"My friend is going to want to meet you, to talk about your bit-beast." The girl looked at him with dagger eyes. "I swear. We just want to talk." He said waving defensible. The girl slowly nodded.
"But my team is coming."
"Of course" They both turned to leave and Tyson ran up eagerly ready to battle. The third and final girl of the team stepped up. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. She was wearing all red and pink, with a TON of make- up on. She winked at Tyson as she loaded her blade on the launcher. Tyson blushed crimson as he fumbled with his blade and launcher.
"THE GODS ARE NOW SENDING IN LILY. SHE'S NOT THE SWEETHEART SHE SEEMS."
"WELL NEITHER IS TYSON. WITH HIS DRAGOON, TYSON CAN ALWAYS TAKE OUT HIS OPPOENTS."
"THREE...TWO...ONE...LET IT RRRIIIIIIPPPPPPP."
"GO DRAGOON." Tyson screamed.
"LETS DO IT APHRODITE." She said as she moved her risk in the motion of blowing a kiss to launch her blade.
"Uh oh!" Sora said.
"What?" The others asked.
"I remember reading this book. It talked all about these gods. Aries, the God of War, and Aphrodite, the God of Love." Sora said as they all watched the battle.
"APHRODITE, CHARM ATTACK." The blade circled Dragoon leaving a trail of red mist where it went. Dragoon started acting funny then.
"DRAGOON?" It almost seem like the blade was on cloud nine.
"FINISH IT, ROSE WHIP." The blade rushed at Dragoon and made a quick turn back making a whip sound as Dragoon landed out of the ring.
"AND THE GODS TAKE THE THIRD MATCH MAKING IT TWO TO ONE. THE BLADE BREAKERS NEED TO WIN THE NEXT TWO IF THEY WANT TO CONTINUE INTO THE NEXT ROUNDS."
"Good battle." Tyson called out. The girl winked, blew him a kiss, and then walked away. Tyson headed back to the others. "Sorry guys." Kai grunted and headed to the stadium. This time a guy came out. He was wearing all blue and was carrying a Trident. Neither blader said a word as they prepare to battle.
"OHHHH, THE BLADE BREAKERS ARE CALLING IN THE BIG GUNS. KAI IS THE TEAM LEADER AND WITH HIS DRANZER HE DEMOLISHES ANYTHING THAT GETS IN HIS WAY."
"BUT DON'T FORGET ABOUT JUSTIN. WITH HIS BIT-BEAST, THIS WILL BE QUITE A MATCH."
"THREE...TWO...ONE...LET IT RRRIIIIIIPPPPPPP."
"GO DRANZER." Kai screamed
"GO POSEIDON." The other boy called swinging his trident to launch his blade.
/Kai's in trouble, Poseidon is the God of the Sea, and Dranzer is a fire element. / Thought Sora from the box.
"FLOOD." The boy ordered. Then the stadium started to fill with water that seemed to be made by the blade.
/OH CRAP. Think Kai, THINK!!! / Kai thought trying to figure out a way to stop this. He would have no chance in the water, and he HAD to win this match. Not just for his title, but the whole teams.
/Come on Kai. Remember our training; remember that attack. It's your only way out. / Sora screamed in her head. The water was at about a quarter way up. Dranzer was circling the rim, while Poseidon waited patiently under the water. Kai was beginning to panic as he batted his brain for an attack that he could use, and then he remembered one Sora taught him. He gave a wicked grin that scared the other boy.
"DRANZER USE YOUR HEAT ATTACK AND DIVE IN." Dranzer started glowing and dove in. The heat from the blade started to evaporate the water faster then the Poseidon was supplying it.
"NOOOOO!!!"
"HEY! When did Kai learn that?" Tyson asked.
"I dunno. Maybe if you attended all the practices you'd know." Kenny said as he had Dizzi scanning the blades.
"That's cold Chief." Tyson said as he hung his head.
"NOW DRANZER. FIRE ARROW." Dranzer jumped up and landed on one side of Poseidon. Poseidon began to wobble and Dranzer came up from behind and knocked it out.
"AND THE BLADE BREAKERS PULLED ANOTHER ONE OUT OF THE HAT." Jazzman screamed, as the two picked up their blades and headed for their boxes without another word.
"IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS BRAD. ITS ALL OR NOTHING NOW." A.J. Topper said. Sora got up and headed to the stadium, as did the last member of the other team.
"OH, BUT WHO WILL WIN? SORA IS THE ROOKIE ON THE TEAM. CAN SHE BEAT THE GODS' TEAM LEADER RYAN?"
"You won't win." He said, glaring Sora down.
"Talk is cheap little boy." Sora said coolly while setting Fang up.
"Fine, I'll show you action. No way a rookie is going to beat me." He said irritated while also setting up his blade.
"THREE...TWO...ONE...LET IT RRRIIIIIIPPPPPPP."
"GO FANG."
"GO ZUES."
/Figures. He's the leader, and he has the God of Gods. / Sora thought smirking. Ryan saw this smirk and got angry.
"I'll finish this fast, just to show you how bad you are. THUNDERBOLT!!!" Ryan screamed
"AGILITY AND BITE COMBO." Zeus launched a large spark created by the friction at Fang who disappeared and reappeared behind Zeus. It then used its bite attack and sent it out of the stadium. Sora lifted her hand a Fang jumped in to it.
"THE BLADE BREAKERS MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ROUND." Jazzman screamed as the crowd went wild for the rookie wonder.
"UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! THE BATTLE DIDN'T GIVE THE FAT LADY ENOUGH TIME TO SING THE FIRST NOTE." A.J. Topper said in to the microphone.
"IT SEEMS THE BLADE BREAKERS' ROOKIE HAS SPUNK. AND THAT CONCLUDES TODAYS BATTLES." Brad Best finished.
"You should have listened to the announcements more carefully. I am a rookie on the team, NOT a rookie." Sora then headed for the opposite box where the opponents were. She approached the girl from Ray's match. "Can we please talk?" Sora asked.
"I already agreed to your friend. We'll meet you outside." Sora nodded and headed back to the others and told them.
- Outside -
"Do you know anything about that blade?" Sora asked Nikki.
"Of course." /What kind of stupid question is that? / She thought.
"You caught it, right?" Sora asked again. Nikki was incredible surprised. She had never told anyone about the day she found Kunama. "Do you know it's a legendary blade, and has the ability to become apart of the best blade this world has ever seen?" Sora asked, but Nikki seem confused. Sora explained everything and the girl and her team gasped.
"So what if I captured it. That means nothing." She said but was still very surprised Sora had known about the capture.
"So you're not willing to try and merge your blade with ours?" Sora asked.
"I didn't say that. I am interested, but how am I supposed to know this isn't some kind of trick. You might just steal my blade."
"Do you really think I'd do that?" Sora asked, as Nikki judged her.
"Alright." She said unsure. "Only, if the last blade appears before the tournament ends."
"Deal." Sora said shaking her hands as they split up and headed to their buses.
