(Don't own Beyblade..only Jade and Dazzler)

Chapter 9: Dazzler Appears

There was a small ding, as the pilot turned off the seat belt sign. Tyson yawned as he clicked open his seat belt and sighed.

"Man.I thought they'd never turn that sign off!"

"Tyson, just because they say you can undo your seat belt..doesn't mean you should!"

Kenny leaned over the back of Tyson's chair, causing Tyson to have to tilt his head upwards.

"Well, Chief...it doesn't look like you're buckled up either!"

Kenny got a look of embarrassment on his face, as he fell back down onto his seat and quickly buckled back up. They had left at 5 a.m. and were now on their way to Hong Kong. Max and Rei sat in row 14, Tyson and Kai sat in row 15, Kenny and Mr. Dickinson sat in row 16, while Jade got row 17 all to herself. Of course Kai was completely disgusted about the seating arrangements, but Mr. Dickinson thought it would be good for him. Kai sat in his normal manner, arms crossed and his eyes closed. Tyson sighed, "I don't why I had to be stuck with Mr. Sourpants!" he thought as he looked at Kai. Tyson couldn't believe how bored he was, and they had just taken off. Suddenly he saw a magazine sticking out of the chair pocket, in front of Kai.

"Alright, I guess I'll just catch up on my reading."

"Did you just say "I "and reading!" Kenny looked at Tyson from between the seats. "I can't believe you said those two words in the same sentence!"

"Very funny Chief, you're such a riot!" Tyson replied as he reached over for the magazine. "Why else do you think I have such a high IQ!"

Kenny rolled his eyes, as Tyson took a hold of the magazine. Suddenly Tyson felt someone grab him by the arm. He immediately looked down and saw Kai's hand gripped tightly around his wrist.

"Hey, what's the big idea Kai!" Tyson asked as he tried to wriggle his arm free. "I was just borrowing the magazine!"

"Why don't you look at your own!"

Kai glared down at Tyson, as he still held on to his arm. Tyson looked towards the seat in front of him, and saw a magazine sticking out of it. He gave a nervous laugh, as he turned to face Kai again.

"I guess..well..your magazine just looked nicer than mine!"

"If you haven't noticed yet, their the exact same!" said Kai, as he finally released Tyson's arm. "Now put it back..you're invading my space."

"What!?" exclaimed Tyson, dropping the magazine back into the pouch. "What makes you think it's your space!?"

Kai gave a sigh of desperation,

"well I'm sitting over here..aren't I!"

Tyson began getting irritated as thoughts ran through his head. "His space! What does he think he is.the king of the world!" Suddenly, Tyson leaned over in front of Kai and took a deep breath. Kai grimaced,

"what are you doing?!"

"I was breathing," replied Tyson angrily. "Oh..sorry, I guess that must be YOUR air since it's in YOUR space!"

Tyson had done it, and he knew it. Kai was infuriated and Tyson was expecting to get into a huge argument. "Mr. Dickinson is not going to be happy with me," Tyson thought to himself as Kai got up. Tyson was waiting for a huge remark but to his surprise Kai didn't say anything. Tyson could see the anger in Kai's eyes, and his fists as he clenched them and quickly left his seat.

"You had to get him mad, didn't you Tyson."

Rei spoke up as he looked over his seat. Max laughed,

"leave it to Tyson to blow Kai's fuse!"

"The guys so stuck up!" replied Tyson frustrated, as he wondered why Kai never shot out some rude remark. "Where does he think he's going anyways!"

"Maybe he had to use the bathroom!" Max shrugged as he sat back down in his seat.



Jade sat quietly, as she focused her gaze out the window. It was so peaceful out there. Jade sighed as she reached over into her bag, and grabbed a set of headphones. As she was about to put them on, she caught a glimpse of Kenny from the corner of her eye. She quickly looked up and saw him smiling down at her, as he leaned on his seat.

"What do you want?"

Jade asked, as she slipped her headphones around her neck. Kenny didn't know what to say as he rubbed the back of his head nervously. Jade shook her head and sighed,

"If you want to ask me something..just do it already!"

Kenny swallowed hard, then gave a nervous sort of smile.

"Well, I was just wondering...if I could..analyze your blade?"

Jade stared at him with no emotion, as Kenny fumbled with his words.

"That is..you know..if you don't mind!"

"I don't let anyone have my blade."

Jade stated as she crossed her arms. She knew Kenny was a beyblading whiz, but she didn't want him to know all of Dazzlers secrets. She reached down, and withdrew Dazzler from her belt pocket as she held it up to Kenny.

"But, I guess I'll make an exception..seeing as I am a part of your team now!"

Kenny smiled and gave a huge sigh of relief. He reached out his hand to take it, as Jade snapped her arm back. This was a surprise for Kenny, and he looked rather nervous, yet again.

"Just don't go blabbing out information on Dazzler.got it!"

Jade looked sternly at Kenny, as he barely moved his head nodding. She tossed Dazzler up, as Kenny caught it in his hands. He was thankful that Jade was being so nice, as he began to open his mouth to thank her. Before he could say anything, he noticed that Kai had now taken a seat beside Jade. He rubbed his eyes, and blinked a couple times, then finally realized that he wasn't dreaming. Jade tilted her head to the side, as Kai closed his eyes not even acknowledging them.

"What are you doing?!"

Jade asked rather rudely, as Kenny tried to get her to stop. He knew that Jade and Kai hadn't gotten along since day one, and this would just make it worse. Kai didn't move a muscle,

"what does it look like I'm doing!?"

"It looks like your sitting there."

"That's right," replied Kai coldly. "Don't we feel smart!"

"It's quite obvious you hate me," Jade shot back. "So why are you sitting here!"

Kenny didn't like the way things were turning out. First Kai was fighting with Tyson, and now he was fighting with Jade. He could just sense the fun they were going to have on this trip.

"I'm sitting here because I obviously like you more than Tyson," Kai replied as he gave a smug smile. "But don't feel too proud..that's not saying much!"

Jade was just about ready to shout something back at him, when her mouth was covered. Kenny was almost falling off of his seat, as he reached his arm down to cover Jade's mouth. Jade looked up at him with a glare, as Kenny tried to calm her down. He placed his other hand in front of his mouth, as he held up his pointer finger telling her to be quiet. Jade couldn't believe that Kenny was stopping her from defending herself. But, maybe it was for the best. She nodded at Kenny as he pulled his hand away from Jade's mouth. Kai crossed his arms, as Jade mumbled something about him under her breath. Kenny dropped down into his seat in desperation...nobody ever listened to his advice.



Tyson stretched his arms up into the air, as he took a deep breath.

"Ahhhh, it feels good to breath...free air!"

Tyson yelled out this last comment, as he looked over at Kai. Kai knew all to well that Tyson was talking to him, but he didn't show any sign of annoyance. The six of them stood in an empty lobby, as Mr. Dickinson talked to the desk clerk. They had finally arrived in Hong Kong, and were now checking into their rooms.

"Hey guys..check this out!"

Max was looking at a list of hotel amenities, as he pointed to the one with the big red star beside it.

"Alright!" Tyson exclaimed, as he read the words listed beside Max's finger. "They have a blading dome here!"

"Of course they do," replied Jade. "This hotel accommodates all of the participants in the Hong Kong tournament. So, naturally they have an area where teams can practice."

"Good, you guys need all the practice you can get!" Kai stated, as he stood leaning against one of the pillars in the lobby.

Mr. Dickinson walked up to them, as he held 4 sets of keys in one hand. He smiled at them, although he looked rather troubled about something. Tyson noticed it right away, and immediately asked him what was wrong.

"It seems we have a problem..."Mr. Dickinson replied. "The hotel was completely booked up, and I could only get us four rooms."

Mr. Dickinson looked over at Jade. She knew what he was thinking, he didn't know whether she would agree with sharing a room with one of the boys. But what choice did she have..she was more worried about which one of them she would be staying with. Everybody looked towards Jade, none of them minded sharing with her, but they didn't want to sound too eager. Especially Rei, who had volunteered one too many times on matters having to do with Jade.

"Hey, that's no problem Mr. Dickinson..I'll be glad to share with Jade!"

Mr. Dickinson smiled at Max,

"how does that sound to you Jade."

"It's fine," Jade replied as she took a key from Mr. Dickinson's hand.

"Alright, we're going to be bunkies!"

Max laughed as he looped his arm around Jades. Jade gave him an odd look,

"bunkies!?"

Mr. Dickinson laughed, as he was thankful that that part was over with. Then he looked towards the remaining four,

"well..who's next?"

Tyson immediately grabbed a hold of Kenny as he grabbed a key. There was no way that he was going to be spending a week in the same room as Kai. Naturally Rei wasn't bothered with staying with Kai, cause Kai never bothered him. In fact, Rei thought of Kai as one of his closest friends on the team, even if they didn't talk all that much. He took the last key from Mr. Dickinson's hand and followed behind the others. They were all staying close to each other, as the keys read room 103,104,105 and 106.



"Awesome...check out the size of this room!"

Max entered room 105, as his eyes popped open with excitement. He couldn't believe how big the room was, especially for two people. He quickly threw his bags on the floor, as he took a dive onto one of the beds. Jade shook her head, as she watched Max jump around like a five year old. She placed her bags gently on the ground, and took a seat on the end of the other bed.

"I bet we have an awesome view from here!" Max stated as he ran over to the window. "Are you ready to be amazed!"

Jade raised an eyebrow, as Max eagerly tore open the blinds. She couldn't help but smile, once she saw their 'awesome view.' The only thing they could see, was another building towering up beside them. Max scratched the back of his head, as he turned to face Jade. He looked at her rather sheepishly as she shrugged.

"Oh well..what do we need a view for anyways!"

Max sat back down, as he clicked on the television. The screen lit up, and the sound of thousands of people screaming could be heard. Jade and Max both focused their attention on the T.V. as they saw images of beybladers. It was a broadcast about the upcoming 'Hong Kong' tournament. Suddenly there was a knock at the door, although Max or Jade never even acknowledged it. They were too involved with the t.v. as the knocking became louder and louder. Max suddenly noticed it as he ran to the door, and looked through the peep hole.

"Hey Tyson...what are you doing out there!"

Max laughed as Tyson pulled himself up to the peep hole. His face was turning red with anger,

"Open the door Max!"

Max swung open the door, as Tyson burst into the room followed closely by Kenny. Max shut the door behind them as he gave a friendly smile to Tyson.

"Don't you guys know how to answer your door!" Tyson exclaimed, as he faced Max.

"Sorry about that Tyson...Jade and I were too involved with the T.V." Max replied as he sat back down on the bed. "Their showing a broadcast about the tournament."

"Hey.why didn't you say so!" Tyson yelled as he jumped onto the bed, landing beside Max. "Just look at all those bladers..I can't wait to take them on!"

'And here's a sight for sore eyes," the t.v. said, as they could see an image of a group of beybladers standing together. 'Fans out there will be glad to know, that last years champs.the "Shadow-cats" will be returning yet again to this tournament! You have got to come out, just to see how this group of 4 can beyblade! Fantastic!'

Jade stared at the screen, it was them..it was her old team, the shadow- cats. She recognized all of them, as she watched them smile with cockiness. Jade looked towards Max, Tyson, and she wondered whether or not she should tell them.

"They don't look so tough!" replied Tyson, with his own cockiness. "The bladebreakers can handle them!"

"Don't sound so sure of yourself," Jade replied as she continued to stare at the screen. "The 'shadow-cats' are not a team that we should take lightly!"

Tyson looked over at Jade, as he blinked a couple of times. Jade was completely focused on the screen, and Tyson wondered if she knew more about them then he thought. He shrugged, he knew that he would soon find out when they came face to face in the tournament.

"Oh, Jade I almost forget this."

Jade finally took her eyes off of the screen, as she looked towards Kenny. He had now taken a seat beside her, as he smiled. Jade saw his arm stretched out in front of him, and saw her blade resting in his palm. She smiled as she took it from him and examined it..it was fine.

"Well..did you find any interesting information on Dazzler?" Jade asked.

Kenny nodded, and sported a huge smile.

"Dazzler is absolutely amazing..well, that is what I read about her."

"I know she is," replied Jade rather cocky. "But, you don't look satisfied."

"Well, I would like to actually see how Dazzler looks." Kenny replied as he looked down at his hands. "But, it's impossible for me to get an image of her.unless she is drawn from her beyblade."

"I see," replied Jade, as she understood what Kenny was saying. "So, you want me to battle..right?!"

Kenny nodded, he knew that he was asking a lot but he was desperate to see it. Dazzler was one of the legendary bit beasts, and her power and strength was completely unimaginable. He needed to see Dazzler in real life, in order to figure out more about her. Kenny was definitely expecting a no from Jade, he had already asked her too much. Jade shrugged,

"sure why not...besides, Dazzler needs some practice anyways!"

Kenny was ecstatic, this was going to be great!





Everybody stood around the battle dome, which was set up in the hotel. It wasn't anything special, but it gave bladers the chance to practice their skills. Rei and Kai had joined the group, once Tyson had told them what was going on. Jade stood silently on one side of the battle dome, as she held Dazzler in her hand. She looked at the five boys and sighed.

"Alright..which one of you wants to battle me?"

"Come on you guys, don't be such chickens!" Tyson replied as he took a step behind the others. He was praying that Jade wouldn't pick him as a challenge, he had already battled her once and lost...and that was without her even summoning her bit beast.

"Are you scared Tyson?!" Kai smirked as he stood back from the others, and leaned against the wall.

"Are you scared Kai?" Jade stared at Kai, as he shot a look back at her. She wanted to fight, she wanted to prove to him that she was just as strong...even if she was only a girl.

"Yeah right, I have nothing to prove to you." Kai replied coldly, as he closed his eyes. "I know I can beat you!"

"Sure, make all the excuses you want." Jade stated as she crossed her arms. "Your just too scared to battle with me cause I'm a girl!"

Kai glared at her, as he stepped up in front of the dome and held his Dranzer blade out in front of him.

"Fine, if you want to battle me so bad..I'll challenge you!" Kai replied surly.

Jade just shrugged, and began to position Dazzler on her launcher. Kai watched her, and distinctively did the same thing. Jade was finally going to take on Kai, something she wanted to do ever since she met it. But, now that she had the opportunity, she suddenly felt like she no longer wanted to do it. Kenny took a seat on the ground as he opened up his lap-top, he knew that Dizzi would love to see this. Tyson took a seat beside Kenny,

"oh..this is going to be good! I can't wait to see the look on Kai's face when Jade kicks his butt!"

Rei kneeled on the other side of Kenny, as Max stood on the side of the dome..ready to announce the countdown.

"Hey.Jade."

Jade looked up at Kai, as he smirked.

"Don't come crying to me when your blade ends up in millions of pieces!"

Jade shook her head, he thought he was so tough. "Just wait," she thought. "Once Dazzler comes out for a little visit.you're going to wish you never volunteered to battle me in the first place!"



Max yelled out his regular countdown, as the two blades were launched into the dome. Immediately Jade's purple blade took the middle position, as it spun steadily. Kai watched it closely, as his Dranzer blade spun swiftly around the edge. "If she thinks she's going to win by staying in the middle..she's dead wrong!" Kai thought. He looked up and noticed that Jade didn't look the least bit worried.

"You should be trembling with fear!" Kai shot out.

Jade just smiled,

"Oh really..well I just dare you to attack my blade!"

Kai sneered at her as his eyes flared up.

"You should be careful what you wish for..Dranzer, attack!"

"Wrong move Kai." Jade grinned, as she mocked him with her finger. "You should think before you attack.Dazzler, use Shadow Mimic!"

Kenny watched in amazement as Jade's purple blade suddenly came to life. It began to spin rapidly, as Kai's blue blade drove right at it. But, to his surprise, his blade passed right through it. He was shocked at what he had just seen, and he shot his gaze back at Jade.

"You're cheating!" Kai yelled with hatred, "there's no way my blade could've past right through yours!"

Jade laughed,

"Of course there isn't!"

Max, Tyson, Rei, and Kenny couldn't help but watch Kai. He had now become infuriated, and they could see it. They had all witnessed Dazzlers 'Shadow Mimic' in the fight against Tyson, but Kai hadn't..and he wasn't ready for it at all. Kai's eyes scanned the surface of the dome, he could see a faint image of Jade's blade in front of Dranzer..but it obviously wasn't the right one.

"Where is it!?" Kai yelled as he became frustrated.

"It's right in front of your eyes!" Jade replied as she pointed towards the rim, in front of Kai. "It's been there all along."

Kai looked down, and noticed the small purple blade spinning right in front of him. "How can that be!" he thought to himself. "There's no way I could've missed that!"

"Are you c0nfused?" asked Jade, as she continued to grin. "Or did you forget the number one rule of beyblading...never take your eyes off of the opponents blade!"

Kai couldn't understand this, he never took his eyes off of Jade's blade..not once. And yet her little attack obviously seemed to trick him. Although he couldn't believe it, he finally realized what had happened. Obviously Dazzler created an identical shadow of itself, in order to escape the impeding attack.

"That was clever," Kai said as he looked at Jade. "But it won't work again, I've.."

"Hey," replied Jade interrupting Kai. "I don't need to use it again..cause I've already won the match."

Kai looked down and saw that the purple blade was no longer spinning in front of him. It was headed straight towards Dranzer.

"You've got to be kidding.." Kai smirked as he crossed his arms. "You think that little beyblade can destroy my blade....I don't think so, Dranzer attack with Fire Spin!"

Suddenly Kai's blade began to form a huge ring of fire around it. Jade watched as the fire began to grow bigger and bigger. Her eyes lit up, as she looked towards Kenny.

"Are you ready Kenny!?" Jade yelled, as she focused her attention back on her blade. "Alright Dazzler...it's time to come out and play!"

A huge beam suddenly grew out of the purple beyblade, as something began to appear. Everybody watched intently, as they heard a loud howl. Dazzler had appeared, and she was incredible. She had the head and body structure of a wolf, but her legs were that of a phoenix's talons. Protruding from each of her shoulders, were giant phoenix wings that stretched up into the endless sky. Tyson's jaw dropped open, and Kenny nearly fell over, as Dizzi loaded the image of Dazzler onto her hard drive.

"That is one wicked bit beast!" Max exclaimed, as he kept his eyes fixated on Dazzler. Rei nodded from beside him, as Jade smiled with pride.

"Kai.I'd like to introduce you to a little of friend of mine!"

Dazzler gave another howl, as she stood majestically in front of her master. Jade watched Kai intently, she was just dying to see the look of humiliation on his face. But something was wrong, Kai watched Dazzler as if he was studying it. Suddenly a look of pain came across on Kai's face, as he reached up his right hand to touch his forehead. A thousand thoughts began racing through his head, as he looked back up at Dazzler. There was something about that bit beast...but he couldn't explain it. Kai felt like he had seen it before..a long time ago. As he closed his eyes, his mind focused on an image...a memory, from his childhood.

(Well everyone what did ya think??? As you can tell, I've decided to go with my original plan of Jade with Kai(it got the most votes too). I know that their personalities are quite similar, but it'll make some interesting plot twists. As for Rei..I've decided that once I'm done with Beynamite..I'm going to write another fic with Jade/Rei. Anyways thanks so much for all your help..and let me know what you think of this chapter!!)
