Heather: La la la. La la la la la. Oh hi! I didn't realize I was going to update this soon.
Kai: Is that supposed to excuse your stupidity?
Heather: Nope. Just the insanity.^_^
Kai: Why did I ask?
Heather: Because you worry about me. *hugs kai* You Do Care!
Kai: Ah! Get her off!
Heather: You just act mean but you really love me.
Kai: Oh god. Let's just start the story.
Heather: If you say so my love.
Kai: *rolls his eyes*
Chapter 8
Lunch Can Make Big Problems
"Ah, come on Kai! We've been practicing for three hours straight." Tyson was already cranky about skipping breakfast, but practicing that long was driving him insane.
"I am getting kinda hungry..." Rachel said stepping forward. "We'll all blade better after we get something in our stomachs."
"Fine. I guess I could use something to eat. But let's review the matches first" Kai said.
Everyone sat down under a nearby tree where they could hear Kenny. Kai stood behind Kenny while Tyson, Joel, Rachel, Ray, and Max all sat by each other.
"Let's start with Max. Draciel has added speed to it's spin rotation, but all of his moves have become predictable. And even though weight had been added to stabilize his balance, we'll have to adjust it still so we can come up with new moves." Kenny kept typing into his laptop faster and faster.
"Whoa, Chief. Easy on the keystrokes. I'm a sensitive bit beast" Dizzi's voice rang out.
"Sorry Dizzi. Ok. Onto the next big problems."
"Are you saying I'm the biggest problem?" Max jumped up and asked.
"Of course not. I'm just doing them in match order. You and Tyson went first, remember?" Kenny stated.
"Oh yeah" Max said sheepishly while sitting back down.
"As I was saying, the next big problem I saw was between Ray and Rachel."
Kai looked at Rachel to see her head shoot up and look at him. He narrowed his eyes waiting to hear the sudden problem in her blading.
"Ray, you were leaning to more defensive tactics than usual" Kenny said while looking over the match again.
"She was really on the attack and was pulling moves I had never seen. What did you expect?" Ray asked.
"That may be true but at the Caribbean Tournament there will be bladers we have never seen. Although I did see you improved your Tiger Claw attack and win the match..."
Ray grinned and slightly nudged Rachel, who smiled and rolled her eyes.
"But that doesn't mean that it wasn't won by the skin of your teeth!" Kenny yelled at him and then cleared his throat.
"Rachel, I saw you trying to get Redler to do his Flash Strike attack but he just isn't getting enough speed" Kenny said.
"I know, I know, but how am I supposed to make him spin faster?" she asked.
"Um, I'm not sure at the moment but I can try out some simulations with different adjustments. Now Tyson..." Kenny started.
"Ah! I'm so hungry!" Tyson yelled while rolling around on the ground, holding his stomach.
"Get a grip, Ty. Alright. We'll go already if you shut up." Rachel grabbed her brother's arm and started dragging him down the street. Everyone got up to follow.
"So where do you guys want to eat at?" Ray asked as they walked down the street.
"BUFFET!" Tyson screamed.
"Guess we know where we're going" Max said.
The group stopped as a lady screamed behind them. They then saw what was causing all the noise. Some lady was getting her purse stolen. The guy started to run toward the Bladebreakers and tried to shove his way through, shoving Ray into Joel and Rachel into the street.
SCREECH!!
"Rachel!" the whole group shouted.
Kai and Ray reached her at the same time. She was sprawled out on the street behind the now stopped car.
"Somebody call an ambulance!" Kai shouted.
Kenny ran into a nearby store and called. Rachel still laid motionless in the road.
"God no! Tell me she's not dead! Please! We gotta do something!" Tyson was going into shock before the tears started coming down his face.
"Your not helping by yelling at everyone, Tyson" Joel said trying to calm down his friend.
"Come on, Rach. You gotta wake up. You gotta be ok" Ray said brushing the stay brown hairs from her face as the tears came down his eyes.
"huh?" Rachel said quietly. She slowly opened her eyes.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your alive" Tyson said while falling to his knees beside her.
The sirens of an ambulance came closer until it was parked beside her. The medics came and gently put Rachel on a stretcher. One of the medics told Kai which hospital she was going to before they drove off.
"Let's go guys. We can't just sit here in the street" Joel said snapping everyone back to reality.
"What are we going to do if she can't blade?" Kenny practically whispered.
"We have to worry about her health before anything else" Kai quickly replied.
Ray and Tyson were already running halfway down the road.
