(Do not own Beyblade..only Jade and Dazzler!)
Chapter 5: Welcome To The Bladebreakers
Once Kai had completely disappeared from their sight, they all looked towards Jade.
"And that would be our infallible team leader...Kai," said Max as he broke the disturbing silence.
Tyson had a look of complete anger on his face,
"that guy is so high on himself! Boy would I like to show him a thing or two!"
"Don't worry about it!" Jade said as she turned around, and started walking away. "I could care less about what him, or any of you guys think about me!"
Before any of them could say another word, Mr.Dickinson's voice rang out from behind them.
"Now, now Jade...that's no way to treat your new teammates!"
Jade stopped dead in her tracks, as Max, Tyson, Rei, and Kenny all stared at Mr. Dickinson.
"Are, are you serious Mr. Dickinson?!" asked Tyson, still unable to believe what he just heard.
"Tyson," replied Rei as he walked towards him. "Obviously Jade's our 5th member for the 'Beynamite' tournament!"
Mr. Dickinson smiled with pride,
"that's precisely who she is Rei."
Max and Kenny stood side by side smiling.
"This is sooooo great!" yelled Max excitedly. "We finally found our new teammate!"
Kenny nodded in agreement,
"and she happens to be a very skilled beyblader."
"Skilled?!" replied Tyson. "She's not just skilled Chief...she's awesome!"
Mr. Dickinson chuckled,
"of course she's good boys..you didn't actually think I'd give you a non-worthy teammate did you!?"
This provoked Jade to respond, as she turned around to face the group.
"Obviously that Kai didn't think I was a worthy teammate...or a worthy opponent for that matter!"
"What's this?" asked Mr. Dickinson confused.
Max scratched his head,
"well, it just so happens that Jade had an early encounter with Kai."
"Oh, I see" Mr. Dickinson replied, knowing exactly what he meant.
Jade looked at Mr. Dickinson then shook her head,
"no way...I'm not joining the team!"
"Now Jade, you know that your grandfather left you under my care..remember!"
Mr. Dickinson replied as he walked up to her. Jade stood without any expression,
"you know I'd rather beyblade on my own...I don't need them!"
She tilted her head towards the others, as Rei came up and stood beside Mr. Dickinson.
"Yeah, but we need you Jade," added Rei as he held out his hand to her once again. "Come on, were not all like Kai."
Jade rolled her eyes, then looked back up at Mr. Dickinson who now looked sternly at her. Jade sighed, then hesitantly put her hand in Rei's.
"Fine! I'll join your team...but this doesn't mean I'm going to like it!"
Rei smiled, "I think you're going to like it soon enough" he thought to himself. Max, Tyson, and Kenny all walked up and stood beside Mr. Dickinson. Tyson took it upon himself to introduce Jade to the rest of the team.
"Well, now that that's all done," said Mr. Dickinson smiling. "Why don't I treat you guys to a nice supper!"
"Alright," replied Tyson as he put his hands behind his head. "I know of an all you can eat buffet..just down the street!"
Max laughed as he slung his arm around Tyson's shoulder,
"looks like another restaurants going to go bankrupt!"
Everyone laughed, as Jade shook her head. "How immature can you get!" she thought to herself.
"Well Jade..what do you say?" asked Mr. Dickinson. "Are you in for some food?"
"I'm not hungry!" she replied coldly, as she crossed her arms.
"Well..." Mr. Dickinson said as he rubbed his chin. "I don't think I should be leaving you alone in a strange community. Your grandfather wouldn't be too pleased with me."
"Oh please..I can take care of myself!" replied Jade annoyed.
Mr. Dickinson began to reply, when Rei interrupted,
"I'll stay with Jade."
"What!?" Jade yelled as Mr. Dickinson nodded;
"that's very kind of you Rei, but you haven't eaten since the flight over here."
Rei shrugged,
"I'm not really hungry anyways. Besides, I'm sure I'll run into a pizza stand sooner or later!"
Kenny smiled,
"well, I'm glad we got that all settled."
"So am I" added Mr. Dickinson, as he pointed towards the city lights. "Now, let's go find that buffet!"
"Great," yelled Tyson with extreme enthusiasm. "By the way...I call dibs on Rei's share!"
"Tyson!"
Max laughed as the four of them headed towards the restaurant, leaving Jade and Rei standing there. Rei laughed, then stretched his arms above his head.
"So..what do you want to do first?"
Jade glared at Rei,
"I don't need a baby-sitter!"
Rei grinned,
"are you sure?"
Rei could see the anger flare up in Jade's eyes, as she quickly walked away from him. Rei laughed as he ran after her.
"Hey, come on...I know you don't need a baby-sitter," replied Rei as he walked beside her. "But, you heard Mr. Dickinson. He insisted that you didn't go off on your own."
"Yeah" replied Jade, as she stopped walking and faced Rei. "Well why were you so eager to volunteer to stay with me!?"
Rei blushed slightly, not knowing what to say as Jade eyed him.
"Forget it," she said as she crossed her arms. "Your not the one I have a problem with."
"You mean Kai," replied Rei, happy that she changed the conversation.
Jade sighed,
"maybe..but I don't want to talk about it!"
Rei stood watching Jade, then he laughed.
"Well..I guess all there is to do now, is to find one of those pizza stands!"
Jade smiled slightly, but quickly concealed it as she sighed.
"Alright...fine!"
Mr. Dickinson, Max, and Kenny all sat around a small table as they talked about the upcoming 'Beynamite' tournament. Suddenly a loud bang was heard, as Tyson dropped 3 plates of food onto the table.
"Are you going to eat all that?" asked Max, as he watched Tyson dig into is first plate.
"I was taught...to never take more than you can eat!" mumbled Tyson, with his mouth full of food.
"And I was taught to never talk with your mouth full!" replied Kenny, slightly disgusted.
Mr. Dickinson laughed,
"a good appetite is important for a growing boy."
"Yeah, but Tyson's doing all the growing on his stomach!" added Max laughing.
Once Tyson had finished his 6th helping, they began to ask Mr. Dickinson about the new beyblading rules.
"I'm sure this 'team battle' will be a challenge for you boys, but I have complete confidence in all of you!" replied Mr. Dickinson, as he rested his hands on the table.
Tyson rested his head on his hand,
"yeah..and I'm sure Kai's going to make us practice it everyday!"
Mr. Dickinson nodded,
"and it's a good thing too. I know Kai can be a little harsh at times, but he is a very skilled beyblader."
Tyson slammed his fists on the table,
"maybe so..but he had no right to say that stuff about Jade!"
"Now, now take it easy young man," replied Mr. Dickinson. "Don't worry about Jade..she isn't one to take those things too personally."
"Even so," replied Tyson still upset. "Where is Kai anyways..shouldn't he be with the team?"
"Yes, well he had some things to do back at home" answered Mr. Dickinson. "But don't worry, you'll see him bright and early tomorrow morning!"
"Oh great!" replied Tyson sarcastically.
A waitress came over and distributed everyone a small cup of tea. Kenny took a sip of his then looked up at Mr. Dickinson.
"If you don't mind me asking Mr. Dickinson," Kenny said politely. "How did you find Jade?"
"That was the easy part Kenny," replied Mr. Dickinson. "I've known Jade since she was 5 years old!"
"Really?" asked Max as he blew the steam off his tea.
"Yes, her grandfather and I are very good friends," he replied smiling. "She was like a granddaughter to me..I even gave her, her first beyblade."
"Wow...so she began beyblading when she was just a kid!?" wondered Tyson amazed.
"That's right, when she was 5 ½ to be exact, her parents were very proud of her skills," answered Mr. Dickinson.
"Were proud of her skills?" asked Max.
Mr. Dickinson,
"yes, well her parents passed away when she was about 6, and she's been living her grandparents ever since."
"Well," Kenny said as he broke the sudden silence. "Were very thankful that she's on our team."
Mr. Dickinson smiled once again,
"well as soon as I heard about the 5 teammate rule, I immediately knew she would be the best!"
"That's right!" agreed Max, "and with her on our team, we'll definitely be able to win that tournament!"
"Yeah!" yelled Tyson as he took a big gulp from his tea.
"Uh, oh" sighed Kenny, as he plugged his ears.
"Guys," Tyson mumbled as tears began to form in his eyes. "My tongue.I.I.I need WATER!"
