Chapter 1: Old Friends
Max woke up, and stretched, rubbing his eyes. He looked around the unfamiliar surroundings. "That's right, we're in Wales for the tournament." He thought, as he got out of bed. "Morning Max." came two voices from beside him. Max looked over to see Rei and Kenny sitting on the floor. Kenny was analyzing Drigger, and Rei was watching. He wanted to see if Kenny was going to make any changes to his blade. "Oh, morning guys. Where's Tyson and Kai?" asked Max, glancing around. "Tyson's still sleeping. Can't you hear him snoring?" replied Rei, and Max looked over to Tyson's bed. He found that Rei was right. Max sighed, and sat down beside Rei. The two watched Kenny study Drigger. Just then, Kai walked into the room, a letter in his hand. They all looked up as he came in. "What's that?" asked Kenny, staring at the letter. "Letter for Rei." Said Kai shortly, tossing the letter to Rei. "I'm going out to do some training." Kai said shortly, and then left. "Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Commented Dizzi. Max snickered. Rei turned the envelope over in his hand. Who would be sending him a letter? "Why don't you open it?" suggested Max. Rei nodded, and tore open the envelope. He unfolded the letter, and read it aloud:
Dear Rei,
I have learned that you and the bladebreakers have come to Wales for the tournament. I was wondering if you would like to come visit some time. Of course your teammates are always welcome. Hope to see you soon.
Aunt Keaga
Enclosed in the letter was a map. On the map, a star was placed on one of the roads, indicating Keaga's house. "You have an aunt is Wales?" questioned Kenny when Rei had finished reading. Rei shook his head. "She's not really me aunt, she's just me mom's friend. But we've always called her 'aunt' She's from Ireland, but I guess she's here for the tournament." "I see." Said Kenny, studying the map. "Well, it's not that far from here." He concluded. "So, do you want to go see her? I mean we have nothing better to do." Proposed Max. "Sure. But what about Tyson?" asked Rei. "Leave Tyson to me. Wait for me outside." Max gave a mischievous grin. After they got dressed, Rei and Kenny got up, and left the room, closing the door.
They stood outside the door for a few moments, waiting for max and Tyson. Then, they heard a crash, and Tyson yell. Rei and Kenny exchanged glances. Rei was about to open to open the door, when it was yanked open by Tyson. "Where did he go?" demanded Tyson, looking around the deserted hallway. "Uh, who?" asked a very confused Rei. "The guy who stole all the food!" exclaimed Tyson. Max appeared behind him, and it was obvious he was trying not to laugh. "Sorry Tyson, false alarm. It seems they just moved all the food into a different fridge." Tyson glared at Max. "You mean you made me get dressed and wake up for nothing?" "Are you guys coming?" Rei's voice interrupted their conversation. He was already halfway down the stairs. The others nodded, and followed. "Where are we going?" asked Tyson as they hurried out the door after Rei. "I'll tell you on the way." Rei called back. "But I didn't have breakfast yet!" whined Tyson. "Too late for that!" yelled Max.
The four walked down the street, Kenny in the lead as he had the map. He stopped in front of a rather bent looking, two-story house. "This is it." He announced, folding the map and putting it into his pocket. They were about to knock on the door, when the sound of voices stopped them. There was a large crowd of people huddled close together, cheering. "All right a Beybattle!" yelled Tyson, as he ran over to the crowd. The others followed, and managed to get in close enough to see the two bladers. One was a small, black haired girl with a pair of black cat ears on her head. She had a black tail, and whiskers. She was wearing a green headband with the symbol of an eye, black pants and t-shirt with a green dragon on the front. She had black bandages around her wrists. (Like Lee's but black.) Her opponent was a tall guy, with two-toned hair, blue triangles on his face, and red wrist guards. "Kai?" exclaimed Kenny and Tyson. Sure enough, it was Kai. "That's Chaz!" said Rei, pointing to the girl. "She's my aunt Keaga's daughter." The crowd cheered, as one boy stepped forward. "Are you ready bladers? Three.two.one. let it rip!"

Kai's P.O.V.
I glanced over to my teammates as I hear Tyson's voice, but then I ignored them. I wanted a Beybattle, and from what people said, this girl was the best blader in Wales. I smirked, as I readied my launcher. She those eyes like Rei's, and all of the White Tigers. She held my gaze, holding her launcher ready. She didn't look at all afraid, considering I was almost twice as tall as her. When the boy yelled, "let it rip" I launched Dranzer into the ring, as the girl sent hers in as well. From Rei, I had learned her name was Chaz. After a long time, I saw that the battle was going nowhere. I couldn't find an opening. Then, I saw one. "Dranzer!" I called, as our blades clashed in the dish. I watched as my red phoenix bit beast emerged, and launched itself at Chaz's blade. To my surprise, Chaz smiled. "Wakatzi! Attack!" she yelled, and I watched as her blade came slamming into mine. Horrified, I watched as Dranzer was sent flying out of the ring. She had won without even calling out her bit beast! I caught my blade, staring in disbelief at Chaz.

Tyson watched, amazed. "That Chaz girl is good." He thought. "Good job Kai!" he yelled, walking over to his teammate. Max and Rei stared at Chaz. "Wow, I've never seen anybody blade like her!" exclaimed Kenny. "And she didn't even call out her bit beast!" "It would have been even worse if she had." Responded Dizzi. "What do you mean?" asked Max. "Wakatzi is a very powerful bit beast. Its ancient power is legendary, almost as legendary as Griffolyon! Wakatzi is a saber-tooth tiger!" "Wow." Said Max, staring at Chaz, who had walked over to Kai. "Good match." She said, holding out her hand. "What?" said Kai, staring at her. "I said good match. You were a tough opponent. Toughest one I've bladed so far." Kai just turned around, and pushed his way thought the crowd. Chaz dropped her hand, and shook her head. Rei and Max walked up to her. "Bore da Rei." She said, smiling. "Bore da Chaz." Repeated Rei. Seeing the confused look on Max's face, Rei said. "'Bore da' is hello in Welsh." "Oh." Said Max. (A/N it actually translates to "good morning," but hello is good enough.) "So where were you guys heading?" asked Chaz. "To your house." Said Rei. "Now that I'm done, you want a tour?" said Chaz. "That would be nice." Said Kenny, as he walked forward. "Ok. Then you can introduce yourselves." Chaz said happily, and her and the Blade breakers went back to the house.

Okay, I'm done. How was that? Alright, I enjoy torturing Kai, so Kai fans, you'll have to put up with it. More excitement to come!!
