"One down, and three more matches to go!" Tyson cheered as he pumped his fist into the air. "I'm glad we won that round yesterday!"

"That means we still have a quarter finals round, a semi-finals round, and a final round. That is if we get there," Kenny explained.

"Say, where are Terri and Max?" asked Lexis. The Bladebreakers and the Wildcats were standing in the hallway of the locker rooms. Outside was the stadium. It was the second match for the Bladebreakers and the Wildcats and also the first match of the day. Just then, a cell phone rang. The Wildcats all turned to look at Saber.

"What? I didn't bring my C.P. here. Besides, Solo broke it."

"Well, if you didn't talk on the phone for 2 hours in the bus LOUDLY and CONTINUOUSLY, I would have spared it."

"Oh. Right. . . . . . Anyways, I'm giving up on C.P.'s and switching to MSN."

"Sorry, it's my phone." Chief searched through his pockets, then pulled out a small cell phone. Flipping it open, he said, "Hello? Yes. I see. So they're not coming today? Oh. Okay. I hope she's better tomorrow. No problem sir. Bye."

"Was that Mr. Dickenson?" asked Ray.

"Yeah," answered Kenny. "Terri still seems to be physically tired and exhausted. So the doctors want her to rest in the hospital for one more day before battling again. Max is going to stay with her in the hospital so she wouldn't get lonely, and they're going to watch us battle on T.V."

"I see," Lexis said.

"Does that mean that Kai and Solo would have to fill their place?" asked Tyson.

"Yeah," Solo answered. Kai crossed his arms.

"Okay," Kenny said. "Do you know what order you battle in?"

"Yeah," Saber nodded. "Ray and I go first, Tyson and Lexis second, and then Kai and Solo third."

"This ought to be a breeze," Kenny said. "Because Dizzy managed to check out the other team's profiles and they're not so high."

"Alright," Ray said. "Let's go."

"Whoo-hoo!" DJ Jazzman cheered as the two teams came out. "Alright, folks! Please welcome from this end: The Bladebreakers and the Wildcats!" The crowd cheered as a light focused on the Bladebreakers and the Wildcats.

~ ~ ~

"Hey look. Here comes our team! Go Wildcats! Go Bladebreakers!" Terri cheered as she sat up in the hospital bed, watching the TV. Max, who was sitting in a chair beside her in the hospital room, smiled. Terri hadn't been this active ever since she got food poisoned.

"Glad to see you hyper," Max laughed. Terri laughed teasingly.

"You're the one who's always hyper, Max," she said in a teasing voice.

"I just hope the nurse won't throw me out for noise-disturbance," Max said, looking about.

"She won't. Now, let's watch the battle."

~ Back to Tyson and the gang~

"This is going to be a cinch," Tyson told Lexis. Lexis shrugged.

"Yeah, I guess."

"And on this end, please welcome the Petroes and the Bombers!" The crowd cheered as the other teams entered the ring. Ray and Saber stood up as the rest of the team sat down onto the bench.

"Ready, Saber?"

"Ready Ray."

"And for the first match for today, please welcome Saber and Ray from the Bladebreakers and the Wildcats, and also Alex and Jacqueline from the Petroes and the Bombers." The black-haired girl and the blonde-haired girl smiled playfully at Ray and Saber.

"Ready to get these guys, Jackie?" Alex asked.

"Ready." The four players got into position.

"Well, get ready AJ because here we go!"

"Got that right, Brad!"

"3 . . . . 2. . . . 1. . . . Let it Rip!"

"Let it rip!" Alex yelled.

"Let's do some damage!" Jackie shouted.

"GO Driger!" Ray exclaimed.

"Get 'em, Panthera!" Saber called out. The four beyblades spun in the dish.

"Optical illusion, activate!" Alex and Jackie shouted. Their beyblades combined and spun so fast that it seemed like there were 8 beyblades spinning instead of 2. "Attack!"

"Oh no!" Saber gasped as the beyblades started heading towards Panthera. "Keep up the defense!"

"Don't worry Saber," Ray smiled slyly. "I managed to keep my eye on one of the real beyblades. Driger, tiger claw attack!" Driger flew up in the air, and dived down to attack Jackie's real beyblade. Jackie's beyblade wobbled, then the optical illusions disappeared.

"Oh no!" Jackie exclaimed. "Alex, I've lost my spin and the attack Ray did to my blade caused all my illusions to disappear!" Alex just winked.

"Don't worry, I've got another plan. Go to stage two."

"Alright. Let's do this!" Jackie and Alex's beyblades spun around the dish, faster and faster each time. Since their beyblades were red and so was the dish, their beyblades blended the color to camouflage themselves. Saber squinted her eyes, trying to see where the beyblades were. Ray growled.

"Oh no! Where did they go?" All of a sudden, something hit Panthera, making it wobble a bit. Saber gasped as Panthera was pushed slightly about in the dish.

"This is bad!" Kenny shrieked. "Both Saber and Ray can't see their opponents' beyblades! And they can lose like this! What should we do?"

"I say we eat," Tyson said, making Lexis anime sweat-drop.

"Never mind," Kenny sighed.

"They must know where their beyblades are and are ordering them to attack us!" Ray realized.

"Ray, get ready! I'm going to give them a taste of their own medicine!" Saber winked at Ray. Ray smiled.

"Alright!"

"Panthera! Black Night Illusion!" Immediately, the entire dish turned black, camouflaging Panthera.

"And look at this, AJ!"

"Yeah, Brad! I say that things have turned completely upside down!"

"Hey, Saber is doing the same move as she did on Ray!" Lexis realized.

"I get it now!" Kenny said. "If the entire dish turns black, Jackie and Alex's blade cannot hide in it, since the color is black and not red. That way, Ray can see where the two blades are and order Driger to attack them!"

"Clever plan," Ray commented. Saber grinned slyly. "Driger, tiger claw attack!" Driger attacked Jackie's beyblade and send it flying out of the stadium.

"Panthera, night cat attack!" Bam! Alex's blade went out as well.

"I don't believe it! Saber and Ray have won!" DJ Jazzman yelled. Saber and Ray gave each other a high-five.

"Good thinking there, Saber," Ray said.

"Thanks," Saber laughed.

"And our next round will be Tyson and Lexis against PJ and Winnie!" DJ announced.

"This ought to be a pretty good match, eh Bread?"

"Yeah, and it's Brad, not bread!"

"I'm so stoked for this!" Tyson exclaimed as he ran to the dish. "This one is going to be for Max and Terri!"

"You got that right!" Lexis cried as she launched her blade. "Who ever is trying to stop us from reaching to the championships will never stop us!" A black haired guy and a shorthaired girl stepped up to the dish.

"3. . . 2. . . 1. . . . Let it rip!" Four beyblades spun into the dish.

"Go Dragoon!" Dragoon spun towards Winnie's blade and attacked her. However, Winnie managed to hold her ground and was defending herself against Dragoon. "Aw man!"

"You're not going to get me that easily!" PJ yelled as Jagurah spun around his blade. Suddenly, PJ's blade spun away from Jagurah so fast that Lexis could only blink. Winnie's blade was doing the exact same thing. Both blades were running away from Jagurah and Dragoon at top speed.

"Come back here!" Tyson yelled. Dragoon chased PJ and Winnie's blade around in a circle.

"This is some kind of trick, isn't it?" Saber asked Kenny.

"It could be," Kenny answered. "See, their blades are mostly endurance. So they can circle around the bowl until their opponents get tired."

"Which is what they're doing to Tyson and Lexis right now!" Ray replied.

"Tyson, we can't keep this up! Jagurah is starting to wobble and get tired," Lexis explained.

"Alright! Dragoon, DJ Destruction!" Dragoon circled around the stadium, a hurricane spinning. Jagurah was sucked into the hurricane. Then it turned orange. Both Winnie and PJ's blades were stuck in the middle, nowhere to go.

"Jagurah! Jaguar Paw Scratch!" In a flash, PJ's beyblade flew into the hurricane along with Winnie's. As the hurricane died down, PJ and Winnie's beyblades landed outside the dish.

"And this one is over, Brad!"

"You got that right Topper!"

"And Tyson and Lexis wins the second round!" DJ shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Yeah! We did it!" Tyson hugged Lexis as the audience applauded.

"And last round for today will be Kai and Solo from the Bladebreakers and the Wildcats against April and Shawn."

"This one will be over in a few seconds!"

"It sure will, Brad!"

"3. . . . 2. . . . 1. . . . Let it rip!" Bengalion and Dranzer zoomed in their opponents' blades.

"Attack!" Kai and Solo said in unison. There was a loud crash as Shawn and April's blade crash landed outside the dish.

"And the Bladebreakers and the Wildcats advances to the next round tomorrow!" Kai and Solo walked back in silence as the rest of the team cheered for them.

"Alright!" Max exclaimed as he saw Kai and Solo winning the match on TV. " They did it!" Terri smiled happily.

"So they're pretty good," said the girl with black and red highlighted hair. "Hmm. . . ." She was sitting in the crowd again, observing the Bladebreakers and the Wildcats. It was the same girl who had watched them when Terri had got food poisoned.

"Say, what should we do with them?" asked the other girl with brownish red hair.

"Don't worry," the first girl answered, her black eyes gleaming. "I've got a plan that just might put a stop to their team and the championships. We'll see."

"You sound very confident and calm," said the second girl. "Unlike your usual harshness and cold act."

"I'm just hoping that Solo will enjoy her last visit in Russia before her team is disqualified from the championships for good!" The girl stood up, all dressed in black. "We'll meet pretty soon, Solo. Right after I take care of your teammates. . . . . ."
