Chapter 8

Susaku stepped down into the stadium and placed her hand over her blade. When it stopped spinning she picked it up and climbed back out to face Tyson. "That was a good battle." She held out her hand, and a grumpy Tyson shook it.

"Not bad Susaku," Cassie commented.

"No sweat," She replied flicking her hair back.

Kenny went up to the Susaku. "How much strength did you use in that battle? Because it didn't look like you even tried very hard." Tyson looked up at Kenny, jaw dropping.

Susaku thought about it for a moment, "Hmmm, hard to say, I guess I used around 20%. Why the surprise?" She asked, noting the look of absolute shock on the boys' faces. "No offense Tyson, but the battle was not all that difficult. "

"Not that difficult? Compared to who? The world's best blader?" Tyson shouted. Max tried to calm Tyson but to no avail.

She merely shrugged, "Compared to our team leader, Jo. Isn't that right Cassie?" Her friend nodded in response.

Pausing to release his friend, Max looked at the girls. "Team leader? You guys are part of a beyblading team?"

"Ooops, sorry. I forgot to tell you guys that." Cassie said blushing. "Actually we're the best team around here, I'm not bragging or anything, but it's true. Our team is the Fallen Angels."

"You're the Fallen Angels?" The boys asked in unison, shock was displayed clearly on each of their faces.

The two girls seem surprised at such a huge reaction from them. "I can understand why this is such a surprise to you guys, but why are you so shocked?"

"Y..y...you.you're.." Tyson stuttered, unable to get anything else out.

Max seemed to be just as much at a lost as his teammate. He was only able to stand there and point his finger at the girls, uttering to himself, "No way. No way," over and over again.

Kenny was the first to shake off his shock. "Our team was supposed to come at meet you guys for a beybattle challenge."

Susaku raised an eyebrow at that statement, "We don't even know you guys. Why should you all of a sudden be challenging us, especially when you don't know who we are." She asked, confused.

"You don't understand.." Kenny began.

"Didn't Robert phone you guys, didn't he tell you we were coming? Robert told us to challenge your team; you were supposed to come to the airport to pick us up." Tyson interrupted.

Cassie looked at Susaku. "Have you spoken to Robert? I don't remember talking to him recently."

Susaku looked as bewildered as her friend did. "No, but do you think Jo or Aqua picked up that call?"

"No way, surely they would've told us about such an important thing." Cassandra shook her head.

"Yeah, but you know Jo, she could've forgot."

"I guess you're right." Cassie laughed sheepishly; knowing how their team leader can be a little distracted at times. She turned to the Bladebreakers, "Sorry about that mistake." She apologized.

"It's no problem, at least we found you guys in the end." Max said.

"Let's go back into the house, I want to get in contact with Robert." Cassie suggested. The others agreed and followed the girls back into their mansion.

Kenny looked at Cassandra and asked "The BBA Office told us that they can't find Robert anywhere, so how can you talk to him?"

"We're old friends of Robert, Enrique, Johnny, and Oliver. We have their private numbers, so it's no problem." She replied.

After finish talking to Robert for twenty minutes or so, the girls returned to the living room where the boys were. "Robert told us to give you his deepest apologies. It seemed that he and his team had urgent matters do deal with. Anyway, it's all solved. Why don't you bring your team and your friends over right away? They can stay here, we have lots of guest rooms."

Max, Kenny, and Tyson agreed and left right away, back to their hotel.
