Things are getting hotter with more action! Also, I have started on a new fanfic whereby it will elaborate on Michelle and Kai's past! From now on, the flashbacks here will be fragments of their past because I found out that my story is so boring with all those flashbacks. Will you agree with me?

Michelle: Of course I agree! Whenever there are flashbacks that person will either faint or sleep, so old fashioned!

Me: Yeah, I totally agree with you, Michelle. Anyway, where's Kai?

Kai: Why are you always looking for me?

Me: Because you're the lead character! Ok, on with the story! I'll do the disclaimer this time, Kay? Right. I do not own any blades but do own the Siblingsblade and the Swollenteam and any other characters not seen in the anime Beyblade!

' . . .' Thinking

" . . ." Talking

` . . .` Telepathy of the bitbeasts.

Kai weakly said but not with a voice of his own (Of Swen's because Swen entered Kai's body.), " I need about half an hour to get use to him and make Kai conscious mentally so the Bladebreakers will not see anything wrong with me."

Kai dropped onto the bed and a warm glow radiated from Kai's body.

* * * * * *

The Bladebreakers, Hui Lan and Matt Kinomiya waited impatiently for Lily. Suddenly, Ray who was sitting beside Kai's cupboard felt a vibration. Ray was made curious by the vibration and opened the drawer.

Inside it was Kai's blade. The blue blade was glowing with a blue light. Suddenly, a shriek was heard and Dranzer appeared before their very eyes! Her enormous body was in a blue glow; then a blond, longhaired and slender girl with a 'cross' sign on her forehead evolved. She could talk.

` Dizzy, do you know you can escape from that laptop? I was always itching to tell you from the speech of Trix. But I could not go to my human form as a result of my experimenting. But, the appearance of Swen changed that. He gave me enough power to be a human form again. I must know go to where my master is. `

The others' mouth could not close and they slowly digested Dranzer's words as she disappeared in a blue ray.

Tyson spoke first, "So, Dranzer can change to human form as well!"

Kenny then asked Dizzy, "Diz, is what . . . umm . . . she said true? That you can get out of this laptop?"

Unusually, Dizzy remained quiet. She mumbled, "I guess so . . ." The laptop shut down!

"Dizzy!" Kenny called anxiously.

* * * * * *

Dranzer stopped at the door. Closing her eyes, she passed through the door. Michelle let out a small gasp and queried, "Who . . . who are you?"

Dranzer smiled, "I am Dranzer, Kai's bitbeast. I'll wait for Master to wake up."

"Have you told the others about this?

Dranzer shook her head.

After half an hour, the radiating heat slowed down and Kai opened his eyes.

"Michelle."

"Kai . . . You better get going now, we'll meet at the finals, shall we?" Michelle held out her hand.

Kai held it, "Dranzer, lets go." And he left the room.

Michelle's fingers trembled and she kissed her own hand . . .

* * * * * *

"Kai! Make sure you win this match!" Jason shouted angrily. "We will solve our enmity in the dish!"

Kai curled his lips slightly.

Dranzer had gone back to her blade a few seconds before. He opened his team's room door.

"Kai!" The Bladebreakers shouted. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine but what are all of you doing, skiving? Lets start practicing right now."

"Have you eaten?" Hui Lan asked.

Kai ignored her. Hui Lan sighed and left the room.

"Lan."

"I need to go back to Mistress. Keep your grandson company. I'll manage. See you guys tomorrow then."

"Bye bye, Grandma!" Tyson called, making Lan blush. Lan felt very happy to have a grandson.

* * * * * *

"Okay, guys. Go to sleep. We'll meet at the Sydney Opera to have a final practice." Kai ordered.

He closed the lights and slept. 'I'm so tired. Need to keep strong . . .'

* * * * * *

Michelle could not sleep. She turned around on her bed. Swen is not with her, or she'll talk with him till dawn. But, she knew she needed to sleep. Tomorrow, a show will be underway.

* * * * * *

"Tyson must have gone out to practice!" Max guessed.

"Then, he must have gone with Kai and Grandfather is downstairs doing his kendo practice." Kenny spoke tiredly. He did not get much sleep.

"You okay, buddy?" Ray asked Kenny.

"Yeah, I'm all right. Lets go to the Opera house."

* * * * * *

"Kai, lets finish yesterday's match." Tyson said to Kai. Kai merely nodded his head. So, at seven in the morning, they went to the Sydney Opera House.

* * * * * *

"3-2-1 let it Rippp!" Both Kai and Tyson launched their blades.

Tyson wanted to finish the match quickly and over with.

` Kai, he wants to finish this battle quick, you know what I mean? ` Swen telepathed.

Tyson shouted, "Dragoon! Phantom Hurricane attack!"

At the same time, "Dranzer, Fire Arrow at the center of the tsunami Tyson created!"

Both bitbeast did as told and both blades stopped spinning though it was Tyson's, which collapsed first.

"Good one, Kai."

"I'm better than you anyway."

"Do you have to become a sourpuss? You did not annoy me for the past few days because I don't see you!"

"Is it?"

"Hi! Tyson, Kai! Come for breakfast! It's Aunty Kitz's treat." Max called.

"Great! I can swallow a whole cow!"

* * * * * *

"I'm full, can't eat much longer."

Lily Kwan joked, "That's good or I'll be broken."

Mr. Dickinson went in to the room and greeted Lily, "Lily, match day two is about to commence. You should go there and start it."

"All right. Good luck to all of you, Michelle, Michie, Mica, lets go."

The four of them left.

Kai gave Michelle a small smile, his eyes flashing green . . .

Ray noticed that but he dismissed what he saw as his own mistake.

* * * * * *

"Welcome to match day two of this competition! The 'Siblingsblade', 'Winder', 'Vodablade' and 'D-day' has passed the qualifying rounds yesterday. Today, four more teams will be going to the quarterfinals with these four teams. Let it rip.

Thank you."

Lily ended her speech in a round of applause.

"Thank you, Ms. Lily. I am Nick Jammers. Again, I'll be hosting today's two matches. First up will be last years' finalist, 'Irwinspin' vs. 'Greenwich'. Let it rippp!"

In the end, 'Irwinspin' won the match.

"Ok! The next match will be seeing the world champions, 'Bladebreakers' vs. 'Swollenteam'! Without much ado, let it rippp!"

* * * * * *

"Draciel, attack!" Max shouted.

The opponent's blade flew out of the dish and lost.

"Max won the first match and there are two more matches to be fought by the 'Swollenteam'. Next, it's Tyson vs. Gwen. 3-2-1 let it rippp!"

Tyson wasted no time in commanding Dragoon to do a 'Dragoon storm'! And Gwen's blade wasted no chance in losing to Tyson.

"Now, that is a easy match! Tyson defeats Gwen by a mere five second! However, the team leader of the 'Swollenteam' is a powerful blader! So, it's Ray vs. Leo!"

Leo raised his head and searched for someone on the stands. Kai saw him and frowned, 'Leo, what is he doing down here? The fire did not kill him?'

Leo saw whom he wanted to see and stepped closer to the dish, "Ray. Prepare to lose." He said coldly.

Michelle noticed Leo's stare at her but she did not seem surprised at seeing Leo. 'His body was not found so he is indeed alive. I'll see whether he has improved or not.'

Leo stared at Ray. "Streakin paws, knock that blade out of the way! Tackle!"

Ray knew from Leo's bitbeast that his blade would most probably be knocking him out. "Drigger! Dodge it! Counter attack using Tiger Claw!"

Drigger came out and followed his master's order.

However, Leo sneered, "That is your attack? Hm . . . Cats will be scared of water. Streakin Paws, do a 'Rainpillar' on Drigger!"

Michelle slapped her head with her palm. 'He's still so naïve! Can't he wait for Drigger to sink its claws near him then use that attack? No wonder he cannot win."

Michelle is right. As Drigger and Streakin Paws attacked each other at the same time, the former's attack ripped the latter's pillar of water and sank its claws into Leo's blade. Leo lost.

'I just knew it." Michelle thought sarcastically.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! This match has the 'Bladebreaker' emerging victorious. Two other teams will join them this afternoon. Oh . . . Mr. Dickinson has an announcement to make! Mr. Dickinson, please."

"Sorry to stop you in your tracks. I have an announcement. After today's match, this event will stop for a day so that the quarter finalists can rest for a day. However, there will be a Dance Ball held in honor of all the competitors at one of the halls in the Sydney Opera House. When you reach there, there will people ushering you to the hall. Thank you."

The whole stadium buzzed with excitement with the mention of a party.

* * * * * *

Tyson shouted with excitement, "A day's rest is better than nothing. And with a Dance Ball coming, how good can it get when there will be a lot food to eat?"

Kenny shook his head in amusement. Tyson is such a eater!

Kai approached his team and informed them that Mr. Dickinson wanted to see all of them. So they went to find Mr. Dickinson . . .

* * * * * * Cliffhanger * * * * * *

Michelle: Before you say anything, answer my question! Why is Leo in this story? Isn't he in another fanfic?

Simmer! I dragged Leo here because I want Tyson and the other guys know more about Michelle and Kai!

Tyson: What do I need to know?

Kai: None of your business! Leave right now.

Tyson: Okay, sourpuss.

Me: Kay Kay. The match between Bladebreakers and Swollenteam is not interesting, isn't it? I changed my mind, I don't know why but I just wanted to get to the Dance Ball part. That would be in the next chapter! See you then!
