Heather: AHHHHHHHHH!

Kai: What's wrong with you now?

Heather: *looking through papers* Where did all my reviewers go?

Kai: You scared them away.

Heather: Don't make me bring out the pictures again.

Kai: *backing away slowly* Please! No more. I already have nightmares because of that.

Heather: Then find all of my reviewers.

Kai: And how exactly am I supposed to do that?

Heather: I don't know.

?????: I'm still here so don't worry.

Heather: hahaha. I still have a loyal fan. Thanks ShadowDragon22.

ShadowDragon22: I do what I can.

Heather: Yeah, you're nicer than that traitor SC who's gone and disappeared.

Kai: *sarcastically* Wonder why she wouldn't want to be around you.

Heather: That's it! Picture time!

Kai: PLEASE GOD NO!!!!

ShadowDragon22: *watching heather chase kai* well I guess I should start the story since I'm the only one left. Here's the next chapter.

Heather: Go ShadowDragon22. I think I'll keep you around. ENJOY! ^_^

Chapter 14

"3...2...1...Let It Rip!" DJ Jazzman yelled into his microphone,

Joel and Kevin launched their blades into the dish. Kevin's blade started to wobble, not being able to get a grip on the outer edge of the dish while Joel was spinning in the center.

"Aw...Havin trouble with the dish shorty?" Joel sarcastically said.

" Watch it, newbie. My bit beast Galman doesn't like being made fun of" Kevin shot out.

"I'm shaking in my boots" Joel said with a grin.

"Galman! Crazy Monkey Attack!" Kevin yelled.

Kevin's blade started to try to attack the red and yellow blade. Joel dodged his every attack and started to yawn.

"This is really getting boring, shorty" Joel said calmly.

"Will you quit calling me shorty?!" Kevin yelled, clearly getting annoyed.

"After I win this match. Kamikaze, Soaring Slash!" he yelled.

His bit-beast came out in the yellow light surrounding it and took flight. Kevin stared amazed that this 'amateur' could have a bit beast. Just then, Kamikaze soared down and struck Galman, throwing out Kevin's blade with one hit.

"And the winner is Joel of the Bladebreakers" Jazzman announced.

"Bu..but how did you win?" Kevin managed to get out.

"Guess I'm not just the new kid, huh?" Joel said walking back to the bench where his team was waiting.

"And up next we have Kai going up against Lee" Brad Best announced.

"Can you hear all those girls screaming for me" Joel said as he sat on the bench?

" Dude, they're not yelling for you" Tyson said. "They're probably yelling for Kai. He's such a hottie ya know" Tyson said sarcastically, hanging onto Kai's arm.

"Get off of me!" Kai yelled, trying to shake Tyson off his arm.

"But Kai, I love you! You're so dreamy"

"Come on, Tyson, you homo. He's gotta blade" Rachel said grabbing Tyson and dragging him to the bench.

"Looks like we have both team captains going at it" AJ Topper said.

"And you can expect both of them to give it all they've got" Brad replied.

Lee and Kai both walked up to the dish with their game faces on.

"3...2...1...Let It Rip" Jazzman yelled for the second time that day.

Kai and Lee launched their blades and both got their grips on the dish and started going around the outer edge of the dish. Finally, they both started to make contact, making sparks from their blades. It didn't seem like either boy had much of an advantage.

Kai was getting impatient. "Dranzer!"

"Galeon!" Lee yelled but it was too late.

"Dranzer, Fire Arrow!"

Dranzer came down so fast that it sent Galeon out of the dish and shot a couple of inches beside Lee's face.

"I can't believe I lost so easily" Lee said, looking at his blade.

"Hmph" was all Kai said as he walked back to the bench.

"Good job, Kai" Rachel said as he sat down.

Kai tried to cover up his blush while Ray eyed him before looking back at the dish.

'What am I worried about? Rachel wouldn't leave me for Kai..... or would she?' Ray shook the thought from his mind.

"Well, it seems like the Bladebreakers can't be stopped."

"That's right, Brad. If the White Tigers don't come back this match it will be the Bladebreakers going to the finals" AJ said.

"Come on, Gary. We need this win" Mariah said to the tall boy.

"Don't worry. Gary beat this kid last time." Gary said patting the pinked haired girl on the head (A.N. ahhhhhh.. pink's the devil!)

Max slowly walked up to the dish where Gary was waiting. The dish had been switched back to a regular one for the rest of the matches.

"Calm down, Max. You got this!" Tyson yelled, seeing that Max was obviously not wanting to blade Gary.

"This isn't good" Rachel said looking at Max.

"What are you talking about" Joel asked.

"If Max doesn't stop worrying and start thinking about the match...well it won't be pretty" Kenny said.

"And neither is that bit beast. I mean have you seen the thing. It's not the cutest in the world" Dizzi shot out from the laptop.

"Hey, Galzzy doesn't like being made fun of." Gary yelled to the Bladebreakers.

"Come on and make it quick Gary, you already have him shaking!" Kevin yelled from the White Tiger's bench.

"Don't listen to him, Max!" Ray yelled.

Both boys walked up and waited for the countdown. Then, they both launched their blades. Max took his spot in the center of the dish while Gary was doing laps around the outside.

"Galzzy attack!" Gary yelled at his beyblade.

"Draciel!" Max shouted as Gary blade rammed into his full force.

"Oh no. This doesn't look good" Kenny said, looking at the match.

Just then, Galzzy hit Draciel hard again and Max's blade started to slow down.

"Come on, Max! You can do it!" Rachel shouted.

But it was too late. Max's blade slowed down and stopped spinning. He went to pick up his blade and walked back to the bench with his head down.

"Sorry guys. I just couldn't handle him." Max said quietly.

"It's alright. You were just scared. That's all. We still have two wins and I'm up next so don't worry about it." Rachel said, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah but that means Max can't blade the rest of the tournament" Kenny said typing again.

"We still have the option to let someone blade twice so we're not in trouble unless Rachel or Tyson lose their match" Kai said with his eyes closed.

"And we all know that I'm not losing to the pink haired witch" Rachel said, starting to walk to the dish with her blade in hand.

"Come on Rachel. You got this!" Ray yelled at her as she was walking.

She turned around, winked at him and said " Of course I do. You people just worry too much"

"I really don't think you should lie to her like that, Ray" Mariah said, stepping up to the dish.

"You've gotta be kidding me. You think your gonna beat me don't you?" Rachel said with a grin.

"There's nothing to think about. Of course I can beat someone as simple as you."

" Yeah, whatever. Let's just start blading so I can shut you up." Rachel said putting her blade on her launcher.

"3...2...1...Let It Rip!" Jazzman yelled.

The girls launched their blades and went straight on the attack. The sparks were flying as the blades crashed into each other.

"Galax!" Mariah yelled and her beyblade started to glow pink and out came her bitbeast.

"Come on, Redler. Let's show what you can do." Rachel said.

A red glow started coming out of her blade as the lion with wings came out. Redler took to the air as the blade started to spin on the outside of the dish picking up speed.

"Getting so scared of Galax that you have to run" Mariah said with a grin.

"Don't think so dim whit. If you didn't already notice, Redler is gaining speed" Rachel replied, looking at the pink haired girl as if she were an idiot.

Mariah started to watch Rachel's blade. "Galax!"

"Too late now. Redler! Flash Strike!" Rachel yelled.

Suddenly the black blading starting circling the pink blade and hit it rapidly.

"Come on Galax!" Mariah yelled, looking at her blade with concern.

"Now Redler!" And out went Mariah's blade stopping by her feet.

"But how? You didn't have the move before!" Mariah yelled at Rachel.

"Its called practice. And obviously it paid off" Rachel said turning her back on the girl and walking to the bench.

"Great job, Rach." Ray said standing up to give her a hug.

"Thanks. But if ya don't mind I think I'm gonna sit down the rest of the tournament. My leg's killing me."

"You did just get your cast off" Kenny stated. "I thought you were supposed to stay off it since you just got it off?"

"I am" Rachel said with a grin.

"Don't hurt it again, please. I really don't feel like hearing Tyson cry again. It was gross." Max said.

"I wasn't crying....I had something in my eye" Tyson shouted.

"Whatever Tyson. Just go out there and win." Ray said shoving Tyson off of the bench.

"Looks like we have Tyson from the Bladebreakers and the new member Alleon from the White Tigers." AJ said.

"Let's get this started" Alleon said, readying his launcher.

"Sounds good to me" Tyson said.

Both blades spun in the dish when Tyson yelled "Dragoon, phantom hurricane!"

The blue dragon emerged from the blade and had a tornado forming around it while it began to pick up Alleon's blade.

"No! This can't be happening!" Alleon yelled as his blade was thrown out of the dish.

"Sorry but it just did" Tyson said with a grin on his face.

"And the winner is Tyson, which means the Bladebreakers will be facing the Tri-Elements in the Finals!" Jazzman announced as the crowd cheered.

Everyone started to file out of the stadium while the Bladebreakers waited.

"I should find out tonight how many we need for tomorrow's match" Kenny said.

"Well it looks like pretty much everybody's gone. You guys ready to head back to the hotel?" Joel asked.

"Sounds good to me" Tyson said.

Rachel started to get up the crouched on the ground and grabbed her leg.

"Are you alright" Kai asked putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm alright" Rachel said struggling to stand up.

"Come here" Ray said. HE bent down and put one arm behind her back and his other arm under her knees and picked her up.

"Thanks, Ray" she said wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing his cheek.

"Let's go before I get sick" Tyson said, pretending to gag.

"Your such a pain in the ass" Joel said putting him in a headlock.

"Please no! Not again!" Tyson screamed.
