AN: Well, I figured out that the HTML tags make no difference,
I think, because my computer is a moron. But, that's just my personal
opinion. Anyhow, I'm glad you like it so far. Here's the next chapter
- it's Kai's turn. Oh, yah, like I said, Kai's song is very, very
interesting. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Kai will be singing a parody
on the American theme for the first season of Pokemon! ^_^

Still stunned from Erin's confession several songs earlier, Kai finally realised that
Kenny was yelling at him. Kai turned an angry glare in his direction, "What?"
The chief wilted, but continued, "Kai, you're up. They've been calling you for five minutes.
"Oh," was all the leader of the Bladebreakers said in reply. As he stood up to finally get
on stage, Kai leaned over and whispered to Erin, "I thought of this the other day, so it's
not quite as true as I thought it would be. At least, not anymore."

With that, Kai finally walked on stage. Like the rest of his team, he, too, wore a trench coat,
like they had agreed. This was because Erin and Rei wanted everyone to dress in something
different, to either go with their song, or just to change their style for a night. Slowly,
the navy and silver-haired boy slid the black coat off his shoulders and dropped it on the chair,
which was still on-stage. He smiled at the looks he was getting.

Kai was wearing a skin-tight black t-shirt under an open white-trimmed blue vest about the
same shade as the pants he usually wore. Tonight, though, he wore somewhat dressy jeans that
were the same navy as his hair. He also wore finderless bike gloves of the same colour.
Grinnning, Kai put on a pair of rimless black-tinted sunglasses began to sing.

"I've got to be the very best,
Unlike all those you know.
To defeat them is no test,
They can't corrupt my soul.

I will travel across the land,
Fighting far and wide.
Each beyblade, to understand
The bit-beast that's inside.

Beyblade
It is just me,
I know it's my destiny.
Beyblade
(Oh) Can't risk no friends
In this world I must defend.
Beyblade
I must be strong.
My strength helps me along.
Don't let up or I'll beat you...
Beyblade
Gotta beat 'em all
Gotta beat 'em all, yeah

Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will fight them everyday
And claim my rightful place

Don't fight me the time's not right,
I don't need a team.
I alone can win the fight,
It's always been my dream.

Beyblade
It is just me,
I know it's my destiny.
Beyblade
(Oh) Can't risk no friends
In this world I must defend.
Beyblade
I must be strong.
My strength helps me along.
Don't let up or I'll beat you...
Beyblade
Gotta beat 'em all
Gotta beat 'em all
Gotta beat 'em all
Gotta beat 'em all
Gotta beat 'em all, yeah

Beyblade
It is just me,
I know it's my destiny.
Beyblade
(Oh) Can't risk no friends
In this world I must defend.
Beyblade
I must be strong.
My strength helps me along.
Don't let up or I'll beat you...
Beyblade
Gotta beat 'em all
Gotta beat 'em all
Beyblade"

Tyson laughed, "Good old Kai. I know you'd have to pick a song like that." Kai just smiled
as he slid into his seat, hanging his trenchcoat on the back of his chair. Erin leaned over
and kissed him again while Rei and Max just smiled. A waiter walked by and took their orders
and the group was soon making small talk, very small talk.

It was getting close to Max's turn when Rei suddenly pointed toward the door. "Hey guys, no
offence, Erin, look who just showed up," he said in a politely enthusiastic voice. Looking up,
Tyson, Max, and Kenny grinned, Erin smiled, and Kai just sort of acknoledged their existance and
went back to finishing his drink.

Sitting on some benches near the door were the White Tiger team and the Majestics. Max waved,
"Hey, over here!" Robert, Oliver, Enrique, Mariah, and Lee all looked up and smiled. Both team captains
quickly asked one of the waiters if they could sit near the Bladebreakers' table. They were promptly
led over.

RG: *gasp* What madness (and songs) could posibly come from this? A lot, actually. Anyway,
sorry for the wait. Hey, at least I AM updating. Unfortunately, I still have to update two more
stories on Fanfic.Net and I think I also have one or two on Fictionpress.Net. *sigh* Oh well.
So, what do you think? Any suggestions for Max's song? I was think ing something like
'Why SHould I Worry' from Oliver and Company or something like that. Anyway, I gotta go.
Please R&R
