Chapter 6
Hours passed and soon the Bladebreakers, along with their friends had finally landed.
"Land, we reached land." Tyson shouted joyously throwing his hands in the air, attracting stares from people at the airport.
Kenny blushed bright red as he pulled Tyson along to retrieve their bags. 'Boy, people probably think Tyson has never seen land before in his life. How embarrassing.'
"Where do you think this team is?" Michael asked. He scanned the crowd, trying to find the missing team.
Lee looked around, but couldn't see anyone that resembled a team. Mariah was getting frustrated by the minute. "Where are they?" she fumed after waiting for twenty minutes. "This is scary, we're all alone in a foreign country, not knowing anyone and not having any money."
Ray came and put a comforting arm around his friend and tried to smile reassuringly. "Don't worry about it Mariah. Maybe their just late, let's wait for a couple more minutes." But after ten more minutes had passed, the former White Tiger member was beginning to feel nervous himself. 'What's going on here? Did Robert forgot to call or did something else happen? They should not have taken this long to get to the airport.'
Kai walked to the where the others were sitting, "Listen, they're obviously not coming. So let's just find some kind of shelter before nightfall." He turned around and started towards the exit, not looking back to see if the others were following or not.
Max looked at Tyson, who shrugged and looked at Kenny. "Ahem, well seeing that the team isn't here, I guess Kai's suggestion is the best option we could choose."
Tyson stamped his feet and crossed his arms, " Man, what a rip. Some trip this was, what a waste of time! And where exactly are we going? It's not like we know anyone here."
"I think Kai is leading us to the Beyblade Battle Association Office. The people who work there are hired specifically to help beybladers. I'm sure they can get us into a hotel until we can locate the new team." Emily replied. The rest of the little group trudged out of the airport and followed Kai.
Sure enough, Kai led them into the BBA Office, where they were able to be booked into a hotel. The girl at the counter informed them that they would be trying to get in contact with Robert.
"What a trip, huh guys?" Tyson said as he flopped down on his bed. "Boy, I'm pooped. Hey, by the way Kai, how did you know where the BBA Office was anyway."
"I asked the people at the airport, while you were sitting down, doing nothing."
"Whatever, I'm too tired to argue with you. Good night, I'm hitting the sack." Tyson immediately fell asleep. He was soon followed by the rest of his team.
The next day, after a satisfying breakfast, the little group decided to split up and search the city for the Fallen Angels whereabouts.
"Come on Max, Kenny, hurry up will you?" The kid in the red and white jacket cried waving at the two boys behind him. "The sooner we find that team, the sooner we can beybattle." Racing around a blind corner at the speed of light, Tyson collided with somebody else.
"Ooww!"
"Tyson, see, look at the trouble you've just caused." Kenny berated his friend, running up to him.
Tyson sat on the floor rubbing his head. "Ouch! That hurts."
"Hey why don't you watch it?" A girl with dark red, wavy chin-length hair shouted. "What kind of a person would go racing around at top speed like that?"
"Sorry," Tyson held out his hand to help the girl up.
"What are you trying to do? Kill me?" The girl continued, not accepting Tyson's apology. "Ooww, my leg." Looking the girl's leg, Tyson realized that it was bleeding.
"Do you want me to take you back home?" Tyson asked concerned.
The girl looked at him, "Humph, no thanks. I can walk by myself." As soon as she shifted her weight on her injured foot, she winced in pain.
Kenny squatted down to look at her injury. "Hmmm, it's not that serious, but I think we should take you home miss. It's the least we could do, after Tyson knocked you down like that."
After several more minutes of convincing from Max and Kenny, (Tyson was perfectly willing to leave the girl right where she was), she allowed them to help her back home.
"Th..this is your house?" Tyson asked in awe as he stared up at the biggest house he had ever seen, it was even larger than Robert's mansion.
The girl seemed amused at all three of their reactions. "Yes, this is my house."
Kenny pressed the intercom and told the butler about their situation and the glittering front gates slowly opened. Walking up to the front door, Max was about to knock when the butler burst open the door and ran out, concerned for his mistress sake.
"Miss Susaku are you all right?"
"I'm fine, just a little bit injured though." The butler swiftly scooped up the girl and carried her inside, with the Bladebreakers tagging along behind.
"You may all make yourselves comfortable here, until the mistress gets back," the butler gestured to a enormous living room filled with overstuffed couches and covered with a rich plush royal red carpet. The walls were covered with exquisite paintings and the lights created a soft yet cheery atmosphere.
"Wow," Max breathed. "This is so amazing."
"Hi, who are you three?" a soft voice asked, startling the three boys.
The Bladebreakers turned around to see a girl with long chestnut brown hair standing in the doorway. Her long, soft blue skirt and matching top brought out the color of her sea blue-green eyes. She seemed surprised to see the boys sitting there.
Kenny stood up, "My name is Kenny and these are my two friends Tyson and Max."
"Nice to meet you, my name is Cassandra, but you may call me Cassie. So what are you all doing here anyway? Are you friends of Susaku?" She walked over to sit down on the couch.
So Kenny, Max, and Tyson told Cassie all about their run in with Susaku, and when they finished, Cassie laughed. "Don't mind Su, she can be a little high strung at times. Why don't you stay for dinner? As a thanks for taking such good care of my temperamental friend." They agreed. A noise came from the doorway to the living room and Cassie looked up to see Susaku limping out, her right leg wrapped in gauze. "Are you all right now?"
"I'm fine," she noticed the three boys sitting on the couch "Are you guys still here?" Max laughed sheepishly while Tyson stood up angrily.
"Su, they brought you back here, be nice." Cassandra smiled. "In fact, I've already invited them for dinner."
"You what?!"
"Well, ya. These are our new friends. What's the problem?"
Susaku let out an exasperated groan. "Whatever Cassie, I'll be outside training." With one last huff, she left the room.
"Boy, she sure was grateful" Tyson whispered to his blond companion, who laughed again. "So where's she going?" Tyson asked Cassie, sitting back down.
"To practice her blading. I probably should go too."
"Wow, you guys beyblade too? How cool!" Max exclaimed.
"Oh, are you beybladers?" Cassie asked, mildly surprised.
"Of course," Tyson stood up. "You're looking at the winners of the Asian, American, and the world tournament champions." He thumped his chest with his hand. His teammates groaned and pulled their egotistical friend back down.
Cassie smiled, "Do you guys want to come see our training center? And maybe we could even get in a battle or two."
"Yah, super idea. Let's go, you just lead the way." The bladebreakers stood up and followed Cassie.
"All right." Cassandra grinned.
