( Hey everybody, sorry about the long wait...Severe writers block + Tons of homework = Slow updates!!! I'm sure a lot of you know what I mean! Anyways...on with the chapter!) Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade...and I'm pretty sure that EG doesn't either!

Chapter 10: Bring out the Beyblades!

"You better not screw this up Alexis!" Kyle shouted, as Alexis won the fight on who gets to hold the camcorder. Alexis only gave a mischievous sort of grin and slowly took the camera from a reluctant Kyle. The others sat scattered around the room, and the Bladebreakers still looked extremely confused.

"Perhaps it's not such a good idea for you guys to be spying!" Kenny suggested, clueing in on what the four were up too.

"Nah, it's all in fun!" Kyle replied, "we do this to Jade all the time!"

"For some reason...I have troubles believing that!" Max added while he sat comfortably beside Jessica.

"Don't worry about it...everything will turn out fine," Jessica insisted.

"Yeah, IF Alexis doesn't ruin it for us!" Kyle replied yet again. He was totally against the idea of Alexis performing the recording, this kind of a job required a professional...which of course was himself.

"I know what I'm doing Kyle!" Alexis replied, in a somewhat angry tone. "Have I ever failed the team?!"

Alexis looked from AJ to Kyle then to Jessica, and noticed that they were all ready to open their mouths to reply. Alexis waved her hands in front of her,

"forget it...don't answer that!"

Everyone stared blankly at Alexis, as she quickly burst out of the room. Kyle sighed in desperation,

"she's so going to ruin this for us!"





Jade walked steadily, as she forced herself to stare at the concrete ground. A million thoughts raced through her head and most of them seemed to be revolving around Kai. This of course, was the last thing she wanted to think about and she tried to blank out memories of the kiss. 'It was nothing,' Jade thought to herself as she made her way towards the pool. 'Who am I kidding, it had to of been something...I mean, Kai just doesn't go around kissing everybody he sees!' Jade could hardly believe what she was thinking, as she quickly shook her head. She wasn't supposed to like someone, her life was beyblading...her life was with her loyal team. Jade quickly pushed through the lobby doors, and found herself facing the small pool...along with something else. Jade immediately froze and she could feel her cheeks burn slightly. Of all the places that a person could be, why on earth did Kai have to be here. 'That's fine, all I have to do is turn around and go somewhere else,' Jade insisted to herself but found that she wasn't listening at all. She felt like she had to talk to him...she needed to talk about what happened to them in the hotel room. Jade swallowed nervously, and was about to step towards him when she was suddenly interrupted.

"Are you going to say something...or would you rather stare into space all day!" Jade sighed, as she heard the obnoxious remark coming from Kai. She knew this was a bad idea,

"I was going to say something...but, now I'm not so sure anymore." Jade answered, twisting her fingers nervously. She knew that she should leave him alone, but she felt like she had to get these thoughts out of her system. As Jade hesitated to speak yet again, she noticed Kai turn abruptly on his heels. He was now facing her, and his face was set in a serious tone. He didn't look too happy, as he stared coldly back at Jade.

"What exactly do you want!?" Kai replied harshly, as he slowly became frustrated with the silent girl.

"I...I think we need to talk," Jade stuttered in a nervous tone of voice.

"WE...I have nothing to say to you," Kai answered as he continued his cold stare. His eyes never left Jade for a single second, and he could see her falter under his harsh glare.

"But...we can't just ignore it," Jade looked up at Kai slowly. "The kiss wa..."

"Forget it!" Kai shot out coldly, before Jade could say another word. "As far as I'm concerned...it never happened!"

Jade stood completely still, as Kai's hateful voice rang out. She could hardly believe what was happening, she never pictured herself feeling like this. Jade felt like everything had come crashing down on her, as she felt tears starting to well up in her eyes. She couldn't show her feelings like this...

"Nooo!"

Jade was completely knocked out of her depressed thoughts, as she heard the all too familiar voice of Alexis. Kai looked equally as shocked, and he quickly shot his eyes towards one of the pool side bushes. Alexis was now visible, and she was struggling with the bushes as she managed to untangle herself from the mess. She didn't look too pleased, and it was quite a surprise to see Alexis in such an aggravated state.

"How could you!" Alexis practically yelled, as she quickly took a stand beside Jade. "How could you be so cruel Kai!"

Alexis was staring at Kai with absolute anger, as she shoved her hands on her hips. Kai looked rather unpleasant himself, but he wasn't looking at Alexis...he was looking at her right hand. He narrowed his eyes in fury, and grit his teeth together tightly. Alexis looked at Kai's reaction oddly, then slowly brought her head downwards.

"Oh no!" Alexis replied, as her voice was now in a nervous tone. She had completely forgot about the video camera, as she gave a sheepish grin.

"Alexis...is that Kyle's camera!!" Jade yelled, completely forgetting about her encounter with Kai. The only thing on her mind now was killing Alexis...or, at least breaking her a little. Alexis watched Jade's eyes turn to a dark navy, as she gave a nervous laugh.

"Oh no...I think it's time for me to go!" Alexis answered, as she immediately ran into the hotel.

"Alexis...get back here!" Jade yelled, as she quickly followed after her friend.





"And it's time now for the start of the first round...Murdablade versus Like Totally!" yelled the voice of DJ Jazzman, as a roar of applauds followed shortly.

"This looks like a very promising battle AJ...up first from Like Totally, is Samantha!" Brad stated over the intercoms. "She may look like your average 'girly girl'...but don't be fooled, she is one tough cookie!"

"Girly girl Brad?!" replied AJ, with desperation in his voice. "Anyways...up first for the Murdablades is Kyle, and boy does this guy have some pretty impressive stats! He plays his game on the offense, and with his bit beast Vicris...the opponent doesn't stand a chance!"

Kyle was smiling with a mixture of complete pride and cockiness. He was waving at the thousands of people who were cheering none stop in the crowds. A girl slowly made her way up to the center of the arena, and stood at the opposite end of the dish. She had long blonde hair, which reached, all the way down her waist, and she had a dark red bow tied around it. She was wearing a white tank-top with a red heart on the front, and dark red shorts. She held out her blade in her left hand, and Kyle could see no signs of a bit beast. He shrugged,

"This will be a piece of cake!"

"You think so!?" replied a soft, yet very snobby voice.

"Ohhh, I see we have some attitude!" Kyle replied, as he smiled innocently at the girl. "That's ok...I like a girl with attitude, it makes battling a lot more interesting!"

The girl only rolled her eyes in annoyance, and set up her red blade on her launcher. Kyle did the same thing with his Vicris blade, as they waited for the regular countdown.

"Are you ready!" yelled DJ Jazzman with enthusiasm. "Then 3...2...1...LET IT RIIIIIIPPP!"

Neither blader spared a single second, as they both yanked out their ripcords. Both blades landed in the dish at the exact same time, and immediately headed straight towards each other. The blades slammed into each other, causing sparks to fly everywhere.

"I hope you know...I'll never give up!" Samantha replied, as her eyes flared up with spirit.

"I know," Kyle answered as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. "But that makes my victory even more sweeter!"

The two bladers eyed each other's blade, but neither of them seemed to be giving up. The rest of the Murdablade team were sitting comfortably on the sidelines, and they watched Kyle intently.

"Boring!" Alexis replied, tilting her head to the side a little.

"A little impatient...aren't we!" Jessica answered with a smile.

"She's always impatient," AJ replied as he leaned back on the bench.

"Am not!" Alexis insisted, trying to stick up for herself.

"She's just ready to kick some major butt...right Alexis?!" asked Jade with a slight grin. She was sitting beside Alexis with her arms crossed over her chest in the usual manner. Alexis smiled and nodded...she was definitely ready to bring out Sacret.

"Alright...now I'm sick of this!" Kyle's voice rang out, as he clenched his hands into tight fists. "Vicris, end this now!...Wing Strike!!!!"

It took a matter of seconds for the yellow and orange blade to react to its master's voice. A giant beam shot out of the blade, as a giant creature began to emerge. It didn't take long for the bit beast to emerge, and he was incredible. Vicris was a giant eagle with beautiful golden wings. Across his chest he had silver armor, which contained a dark orange gem on the front. His eyes were circled by two separate armor pieces, and his eyes were a dark piercing blue. Everyone stared at the magnificent bird, as it screeched with pride. Samantha was in shock at the sight of this, and she had completely forgotten about her own blade. When she finally realized what was going, it was way too late. Vicris edged itself under Samantha's blade, and sent it flying into the air. A loud bang was heard, as the dark red blade slammed into the ceiling then slowly began to fall down with the gravity. It landed inches from Samantha's feet, as Kyle's blade flew back into his open hand.

"Well...that's that!" Kyle stated with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Yeah," Samantha replied in a low voice. She slowly got over her defeat, as she winked at Kyle and smile. "That was a great battle!"

Kyle blushed at the pretty girl, as she quickly made her way back to her team. Kyle on the other hand seemed to be in a trance, and continued to stare off towards Samantha.

"And the first match goes to Kyle...and the Murdablades!"



(There ya go...I hope you all enjoy it...see ya later!)
