Kai's face was a black colour. Beside them were Tyson and Max at the same table.
Tyson was gulping down the food taken from the buffet table. He was also making a lot of noise.
Michelle smiled weakly at Tyson's table manners.
'I wanted to be Michelle alone and yet! I have to eat with that glutton, Tyson. Why?' Kai thought angrily.
However, below the table, Michelle was holding Kai's hands tightly. She looked at him lovingly. Too bad Tyson did not get the hint to get away! Max grinned somewhat embarrassedly.
"Tyson, have you eaten enough?"
"Not enough! Anyway this is their treat, isn't it?"
Max slapped his forehead. "What a blockhead!" He scolded.
Finally, Tyson cleared all his dishes. Then, he looked at Michelle in question.
Michelle returned his gaze calmly.
"I know that you want to ask about Neon, isn't it?"
"You knew?"
"Your eyes are glittering."
"Yes, I need to know. Is she in Agent7?"
"As a matter of fact, she was one of those who found this unit."
"What?"
"She's the pioneer in setting up a unit to go against Voltaire. I don't know what grudge you have towards her, but I can tell it. She's doing this for somebody."
"Is it?" Tyson muttered thoughtfully.
"Thanks for the lunch! And good luck." Tyson spoke to Michelle and stood up to leave the restaurant.
"Tyson, wait for me!" Max exclaimed as he rushed to Tyson.
Michelle looked at Tyson's back and thought, 'What if you knew that she's your sis? What will you do?"
"Michelle, what are you thinking? Should we not finish our lunch quicker? You have to compete, you know?" Kai said, somewhat jealously.
"Alright. We will finish the food."
"Michelle . . . I don't know what to think of Tyson. One instance he's gobbling food and always hungry, then at the next instance, he displayed some kind of shiver down my spine."
"You won't understand. Actually, even I can't understand it either. He is too similar with Neon. Perhaps it's because they are siblings." Michelle mumbled to herself, Kai did not notice her words.
"What has Neon got to do with Tyson?" Kai asked again.
"A lot of things in common. You will know in due course."
* * * * * *
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a new blader with us today. He will be with the Siblingsblade from now on! Okay, this match will be 'Siblingsblade' vs. 'Seven'! First round will be Mica Kitz vs. Jaclyn. Take your positions, let it rippp!" Nick Jammers shouted the start of the match.
Mica launched her blade, which spun around balanced. Mica knew her weakness was her defence. So she took head of Michelle's advice - attack from the beginning.
"Tri-star, Bit claw!" Her unicorn bitbeast appeared and its horn turned gold in colour, which blinded her opponent's eyes.
Next, before Jaclyn knew it, her blade was knocked out of the dish.
"Whoa! Mica Kitz finally showed off her stuff! She had been unsuccessful in attacking, but now she's defeated Jaclyn of the 'Seven'. That is a quick round. The first round is taken by Mica Kitz!"
Michelle ran to Mica and shook her hands. "See? You have to attack from the start or you'll lose your match."
Mica had earlier on heard Michelle's explanations and got to accept the fact that Michie is now Dizarri, not a human anymore.
Kenny was resting for the next round.
* * * * * *
When they were at the room where they regained consciousness, Michelle had wanted to stop him from participating, but he insisted.
"But, your body has not recovered yet! What if your health takes a dip?"
`Michelle. I will try to make the match short and quick. ` Dizarri spoke as she appeared out of the blue.
`I agree with her Grace. ` Swen supported Dizarri.
"Okay. Mica will take the first round and Kenny, the second round. Both of you cannot lose your matches or else, we will have to forfeit. We only have three people in the team."
"We will try our best." Kenny and Mica chorused together.
Dizarri nodded her head and disappeared into thin air. Swen did that too.
* * * * * *
"This will be the second round of Kenny vs. Gina! Ready? Let it rippp!" Nick shouted to his microphone.
Kenny launched his blade powerfully. The yellow blade was shining in the stadium. The spins were fast and smooth.
"Kenny is really a genius! This is the first time I have ever saw him blade!" exclaimed Tyson, who was with his other teammates at the seats.
"He has practised very hard for today, do you know that?" Kai scoffed off Tyson's remarks.
He continued, "No one's perfect. Even Michelle has to train to get the results she have now! I am sure that Kenny has put in a lot of hard work into this."
Ray looked at Kai and a grin appeared on his face.
'He is slowly but surely changing, he just does not realize it.' Ray thought and then spoke, "I believe that Kenny will win. Especially the bitbeast is Dizarri."
Max nodded and agreed with Ray.
* * * * * *
"Dizarri, come out and show everyone your capabilities! Airwave!" Kenny ordered his bitbeast to attack his opponent.
But Gina shouted too, "Hufferpuff, Breaker!" A pig bitbeast used its trots to dispel the airflow attack of Dizarri.
`Kenny, call out my own attack, Shinerlone! Now! ` Dizarri telepathed quickly as Hufferpuff attacked them with a wind attack 'Fuu'.
"Alright, Shinerlone!" Kenny commanded.
Michelle stared closely at Dizarri's new attack. She had never seen one.
Dizzari released a golden light, which enveloped Hufferpuff. The light paralysed the pig's movement. Kenny then used ordered Dizarri to manoeuvre the blade to knock Gina's blade. However, it was not enough to beat her.
` Mistress, this is her defence tactic. Kenny is not strong enough to use her new attack! So he has to use his strengths. `
"Kenny! Use your strength! You are not good enough to use her attack! Think of something!" Michelle shouted loudly.
` Kenny, I can't talk to you freely. But I'll take this time to remind you. We can find a tactical way to win this match. Understand? ` Dizarri spoke hastily.
The spectators were shocked. The bitbeast could talk!
"I understand. Thanks, Dizzi." Kenny grinned broadly.
Gina backed away a little when she saw Kenny's eyes. They were distinctively different.
Kenny noticed it and frowned, brushing his bangs to cover his eyes again.
Gina was no longer attacking Kenny's blade, as she was too scared of him.
"You are a monster!" Gina exclaimed as her face paled seriously.
Her teammates shouted at her, "Gina! Why are you backing away? Fight him! He is just an amateur, beat him!"
"I can't." Gina trembled.
Kenny's fist was clutched tightly. He explained, "I am just wearing contact lenses."
Gina heard it and actually believed Kenny.
"Sorry . . . sorry . . . can we continue?" Gina apologised.
"Sure. Dizzi, use your Airwave yet again!"
"It's of no use." Gina ordered her bitbeast, "I will take you down now! Hufferpuff, Trotted!" The pig stomped its way to Kenny's blade and knocked it hardly.
Blood was spatted out by Kenny as his blade wobbled weakly. But with determinedness, he commanded Dizarri, "Shinerlone! Then attack with Airwave!"
Dizzari did as told and it is now Gina's blade to wobble.
"Incredible! Kenny's blade has regained its balance but there's something very wrong with him. It's blood!" Nick exclaimed with shock.
Michelle was clasping her fingers around her own blade. 'Will he be fine?'
`He will be. ' Swen telepathed.
Suddenly, Dizzari emitted a golden glow * again! * which healed Kenny's pain straight away.
Now, Gina was terrified. She and her teammates had never seen such a bitbeast!
Surprisingly, Michelle smirked at the sight. Her gaze was directed to a corner of the stadium.
` Kenny, your strength has powered you. You shall command another new attack from me. My real attack lies in camouflaging and beating the opponent secretly. It's called the Sacred Heaven! Call for it."
` Mistress! Kenny has a new attack! Look at it! The other attack I have is similar to it but more powerful. ` Swen telepathed excitedly.
Kenny commanded Dizarri, "Sacred Heaven!"
The surrounding dish was filled with golden sparks.
The bladders could see Dizarri in the middle but the opposing bitbeast could not see her. Dizarri moved to knock Gina's blade over the dish.
But the pig bitbeast was oblivious to the danger.
"Hufferpuff, Breaker at the blade." Gina called out desperately. The pig's trots charged into air.
Finally, Gina's blade was defeated.
The spectators roared in shock.
"What a dramatic finish! Kenny takes this round and it's left to the leader of team 'Seven' to save themselves. But, he is against the best blader in this Australasian region! Does this spell the end of the run of the 'Seven'? Lets find out! It's Michelle Kitz vs. Tony Hung!
In your positions, let it rippp!" Nick shouted yet another start of a match.
Michelle walked briskly to the edge of the dish and launched her blade.
Her opponent also launched his blade.
* * * * * *
Kenny rubbed his temples. 'Man. I'm so tired!' he thought as he sat down on the bench.
` A job well done. I thought that you cannot release my attack so quickly. Now I know why Michie wants to chose you to take over me. ` Dizarri telepathed.
However, another voice spoke to his mind.
~ Kenny. I wish you all the best in winning for this team. Kenny's eyes were abruptly opened. He looked round but could not see a person beside him (perhaps only Mica). He dismissed this feeling.
Meanwhile, the voice died down. The blade was shining faintly.
* * * * * * *
'Swen, how do I find my power within?' Michelle telepathed to Swen.
`It's for you to find out. `
"Fine! Swen. Wanado!" Michelle ordered. Her red blade spun in circles around Tony's blade.
Swen released a powerful tornado at the blade. Tony's blade swirled awkwardly.
Then, Tony commanded, "Trinity. Whopper!"
A dragon with three heads appeared and they turned their bodies opposite to the direction of Swen's tornado. This slowed down the momentum.
Michelle was wary now. She is in a precarious situation.
'Find my power within . . . Kenny got his new attack when he vomited blood. Yet, he did not give up . . . I understand now! It's courage! I have been relying too much on Swen's capabilities that I had gone too arrogant in thinking through. I have used the attacks unsparingly!' Her eyes twinkled.
Kai, from the stands, sweatdropped.
Michelle was deep in her thoughts and Tony was attacking her blade relentlessly. However, her blade was still holding out.
This proves her blade's power.
* * * * * *
`I am relieved. You shall get a new attack. Similar to Sacred Heaven. It's called the Ocean Tremble. Call for it! `
"Ocean Tremble." Michelle shouted.
"It's a new attack from Michelle Kitz!" Spoke Nick through the microphone.
Swen smiled angelically. The swan body of his was shining a bright blue.
Swen's wings poured out huge amounts water and flapped his wings.
A tsunami was created.
"Swen can now make a tidal wave without water!" Tyson was shocked.
* * * * * *
"Spectacular! Michelle Kitz wins this round and the Siblingsblade enters the semis!" Nick Jammers announced proudly.
And the spectators gave them a standing ovation.
* * * * * *
Whew! Enjoy this? I hope so!
Bye-bye.
