Episode 4: The first battle
Ray opened his eyes. The sun was pouring through the open window. Pushing the covers aside he smiled at the beds. Kai's bed was empty and made already, but the other three beds next to him gave out some of the loudest snoring in China. After he put his shirt on, he looked behind the screen. Anya's bed was made and empty, too. He heard some scraping outside. Stepping into the morning sun, he saw Kai already training with Dranzer. Kai turned and greeted Ray.
"Are Tyson and the others up yet? I said we'd start training again." "Tyson, Max and the Chief are still sleeping. I think Anya's up." "I know, she left a note; she's gone into the mountains to train early this morning." "Well, at least someone's taking your training rule seriously."
A noise on Ray's right distracted them. Mariah came from around the corner, smiling at Ray.
"Morning!" "Morning, Mariah!"
Kathy was right behind her. Before anyone could say anything, Max came out of the house and smiled at Kathy.
"Morning, Kathy! You up for a friendly match this morning?" "I try not to battle another blader before a tournament; it gives away my game plan." Kathy smiled at Max.
Oh I don't mind as long as you keep smiling at me like that Max thought. Ray, Max, Mariah and Kathy left Kai with his training, and decided to walk around for a bit.
"So, where's the rest of your team?" Kathy asked. "Oh, Tyson is still sleeping and the Chief was just about ready to get out of bed when I left." Max jumped in. "And Anya?" Mariah asked. "Kai said she went up into the mountains to train."
Mariah ran a little ahead of the other three and faced them.
"Hey, how about we go find Anya? It can't be easy for her to be the only girl in an original all guy team!" "Yeah, I actually wouldn't mind getting to know her a bit more", Ray agreed.
The group decided to climb a mountain. It took them all morning, but they followed a path of rocks full of holes, which were suspiciously blade shaped. They soon found Anya. She was on the tallest mountain, shouting commands at Draphiel. Ray pulled Max over the side.
"Hey, Anya! What're you up to?" Max called.
Anya turned around to see the four people climb over the cliff. Draphiel flew back into her outstretched hand when she wasn't looking. She smiled at them.
"Hey guys, not much, just training." "Really?" Mariah asked. "Looks more like you were planning to rearrange the mountains." Kathy added with a smile.
Anya smiled with them. "Listen, I'm done up here, how about we go back to the village?" "Great".
Anya jumped down the other side of the cliff, and jumped on the different rocks back to the bottom. Kathy and Mariah followed behind her. Ray was about to go, when he noticed Max's pale face.
"You coming or not, Max?" "We're not going down that way are we?" "There isn't a road this high, you're gonna have to jump down like me and the girls." "Figures."
********
Back in the village, Kathy had just applied the last of the bandages on Max's arm. Max was moaning in pain, but smiling at the fact Kathy was being his nurse. Tyson and Ray were standing behind him.
"Hey Max, that was quite a tumble you took, sure none of those brain cells fell out?" Tyson grinned. "Come off it, Tyson, besides it wasn't that high. A foot or so, that's all", Ray said. "Tell that to my head." Max replied.
Kathy sat back and smiled at Max. "All done! Next time, just get Ray to carry you on his back, rather than try and jump like us if you can't".
Kathy didn't notice when she left, but Max was blushing a deep red, looking depressed. Ray and Tyson noticed this. "Hey, Ray, I think Maxxy has a crush on Kathy."
Tyson had a pillow thrown on his face. Max was smiling, but soon his smile fell. He looked down at his bandages.
"She thinks I'm a dork for trying to jump it down, doesn't she?" "No way. Kathy isn't like that", Ray tried to cheer Max up. "Of course she does! Man, how am I gonna prove to her I'm not a wimp?"
Tyson pulled the pillow off his face and hugged it. "Maybe if you play your best in the tournament, she'll think you're the best." "You think that'll work?" "I don't know."
************
The next morning arrived. Max's injuries didn't turn out to be so bad, and most of his bandages came off. The team scoped the competition when they arrived back at the China Tower. Kai faced his team before entering the tower.
"Okay guys. I know we may have won this time last year, but there'll be better bladers this year, so I hope you have trained hard for it." Tyson frowned. "Hey, no problem, Kai. C'mon don't be a spoilsport." "I'm serious, Tyson. If we want to try and make it twice in a row, we'll have to work for it."
The team waited in their box for the other team. They came out and waved to the crowd. They were all dressed in bright, flowery sarongs and had baskets on their heads. DJ Jazzman climbed to his podium and announced the team.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Boy and Girls, Babes and Studs!! Get ready for the first match of this tournament!! It's last year's champs and this years favourites; the Blade Breakers versus newbies, the Field Roamers!"
Kai leaned against the wall of the podium, arms crossed. "Ray, you're up first." Ray smiled and flashed a thumbs up to his leader. "No problem, Kai. The first round is ours."
The Field Roamers looked at Ray approaching the dish, and the tallest of the field roamers (which isn't that very tall), Fahrid, came out to challenge Ray.
"Well AJ, it looks like it's Ray of the Blade Breakers versus Fahrid of the Field Roamers." "That they are, Brad. Ray's stats way overpower Fahrid's, and with his bit beast Driger, Fahrid's blade is gonna be a miniature scratching post."
The floor moved and a dish came into view. It was a wet paddy field, with thin, firm dirt tracks. Ray looked a little nervous with this wet and muddy dish, but Fahrid grinned.
"Looks like the paddy dish is selected for this first of three match. Fahrid is in his element here." "You're certainly right there Brad! Driger will have to watch out and stick to the dirt trails, as there is no way he can move through that mud!"
The two readied their blades. DJ Jazzman made the countdown.
"3, 2, 1, LET IT RIIIPPPPP!!!"
Ray and Fahrid released their blades. Driger landed on a dirt trail right in the middle of the dish, but Fahrid's brown and cream blade landed in a rice patch.
"What do you think you're doing? That mud's as sticky as flypaper!" Fahrid grinned. "I grew up around paddy fields, and I trained on them. The mud before me parts like the sea before Moses!"
Sure enough, when Fahrid's blade started moving, the water in the field moved away from the blade. Ray gaped at this. "How, how is this possible?"
Fahrid laughed. His team cheered Fahrid on. Fahrid's blade started moving towards Driger. Ray frowned, his pupils becoming thinner and more cat- like.
"Driger! Tiger Claw!" "NOW!" Fahrid shouted.
Suddenly, Fahrid's blade generated a huge wave behind it. Ray and the Blade Breakers gasped. Fahrid grinned as the wave crashed on Driger before the Tiger Claw could do anything.
"AANNNDDDD THE WINNER IS FAHRID!!"
Fahrid smiled and waved at the audience. Ray bent down and picked up his Driger Blade.
"I guess this was just an off day. Don't worry Driger, we'll get better."
Ray walked back to his team. Kai nodded at Ray, as if to say it was alright, even though his face held that all too familiar scowl. Kai didn't even look at the team to decide who will go up next.
"Tyson." "ALRIGHT!"
Tyson ran up to the dish. He readied his launcher for his next opponent, which was Chander. He brought out his black and brown blade.
"BLADERS, AT THE READY! 3, 2, 1, LET IT RRRRIIIIPPPPPPPP!!!!
Both guys released their blades. Tyson landed in a dirt trail, but Chander, like his captain, landed in the mud. Chander grinned.
"I know I'm going to win! Might as well give up now, Champ!" "No way I'm gonna give! Dragoon, Do it!!"
Dragoon rushed at Chander's blade. Chander was ready. He had readied a tidal wave, too. The tidal wave rushed to Tyson's Dragoon blade, but Tyson cheered his blade on. Dragoon ripped through the tidal wave and smashed right into Chander's blade. Chander caught his blade before it hit the ground.
"Heh, you are good!" "One of the best, my friend!"
Tyson grabbed his blade and ran back to his team. Max gave Tyson a high five, but winced in pain when Tyson slapped his sore hand harder than he'd hoped. When Tyson sat down, grinning at the victory, Kai looked at the remaining three. Anya looked up at him. He nodded. Anya got up and walked to the dish.
"AND THE BLADE BREAKERS HAVE SENT OUT NEW MEMBER ANYA!" DJ Jazzman announced.
The Field Roamers sniggered at Anya. One of the girls piped up.
"I'll take her on. She doesn't look that tough!"
"Well AJ, it looks like Anya of the Blade Breakers is the second Blader up. Would she pull one out of the air for her team?" "I say that's a distinct possibility, Brad. Anya's stats are impressive and with her bit beast, Draphiel, she's glowing a real talent." "Kasi of the Field Roamers battles with emotion, and is really confident of her ability." "And with this the Paddy Field Dish, will Anya be able to resist Kasi's automatic upper hand?"
Kasi and Anya readied their launchers, Kasi's blade a pink and white colour.
"3, 2, 1 LET IT RRRIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPP!"
Kasi and Anya yelled when they released their blades. Both blades landed spot on. Kasi grinned knowingly at Anya.
"Might as well give up, girly!!! Fahrid showed your team mate that we are kings and queens of the rice field! What makes you think you won't stick in the mud?"
Now it was Anya's turn to smile. "Oh, what makes you think I'll get stuck?"
Anya raised her arms above her head and snapped her legs together. The guys recognised this move.
"HARPIES ICE HURRICANE!!"
Before Anya had the chance to finish her command, Draphiel emerged from her bit, and raised her arms above her own head and spun quickly. A cold blizzard whipped across the dish. Kasi shivered. Anya didn't seem affected from the chill, but looked right at home. Kasi frowned.
"What's with the wind chill?" "The earth needs water to turn to mud, and what happens to mud if the temperature drops?"
Kasi gasped and looked back into the dish. Sure enough, the mud began freezing. Her own blade was wobbling on the ice, unable to stand strong on the slippery ice.
"NO!" "YES! Do it Draphiel!"
Draphiel raced forward in her signature super speed. Kasi's pink and white blade flew out of the dish and landed in front of her team mates. Draphiel spun back into Anya's open hand. Kasi looked stunned, but then she smiled.
"You were great, kid. Who knows, maybe you might get to the finals."
"AND THE BLADE BREAKRES WIN THIS ROUND!!!!"
The crowd cheered. Kasi waved to Anya and ran back to her team and her blade. Anya smiled to herself as she walked back to the Blade Breakers. The guys cheered Anya when she sat back down, arms and legs folded, her cap forming a shadow over her eyes. Kai threw a glance over the rest of the team. Kai nodded his approval at the team's win.
Tyson jumped up and punched the air.
"ALRIGHT! Guys, we're going all the way. Blade Breakers RULE!!!!
========================================================
