"Don't worry about it," Madison told Mei Lin, seeing the distorted look on her face.
But she did. She knew she would have had to face them sooner or later, and she didn't want to spend the entire tournament avoiding them.
Let me get this over with.
She walked toward her team.
There was silence for a moment. And then:
"You were great!"
Mei Lin was surprised. She wasn't even sure if it was because of the words or because of the person who said the words. It was Sakura.
Well, actually, it WAS something Sakura would have said but she didn't expect it after she treated her unfairly.
"But I lost," Mei Lin said, upset.
"Why does it matter so much?" Li asked suddenly. "Winning isn't everything."
Mei Lin saw right through him, of course. Everyone knew that he loved to win. But she was grateful.
She smiled. And Yelan wonders why I love him so much.

"So what's the lowdown on those Bit Guardians?" Max asked.
"Hard to say," Dizzi replied. "Much rarer than Bit Beasts, but as you can see they aren't that much more powerful."
"Good to know!" said Tyson. "Now we can beat them!"
"Whoa there, Mr. Confident. It won't be that simple. Don't underestimate them. They all have clean records without even using the Bit Guardians."
"Next up," interrupted the speaker. "Ray of the Bladebreakers against Sakura of the Tomoeda team!"
"Another girl," said Tyson cheerfully. "Piece of cake."
Kai thought otherwise. She was after all, Madison's best friend.
¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.¤*¨°
"Good luck, Sakura," Madison called.
"Avalon!" Mei Lin yelled after her. Sakura turned around, nervous.
"Y-yeah?" What did I do now?
"Win this one, alright?"
The tenseness melted. "Sure."
Eriol poked Li. "Wish her luck."
"Leave me alone."
That's what he replied, but nothing could match the red shade he turned into.
¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.¤*¨°
"As you can see, Ray's Driger even has it's own fan club. Everyone enjoys battles with Ray vs. Mariah. But now he's battling somebody new, with something never seen before. Our information just came in. They don't use Bit Beasts in the Tomoeda Team, but Bit Guardians!"
"That's right. We haven't seen Sakura's yet, but she does refer to her Beyblade as Kero. Everyone's anticipating the revealing, that is if Driger is good enough!"
¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.¤*¨°
"What does he mean?" Tyson said, indignant. "Of course Driger is good enough! Ray's the best! After me, sure, but still real good!"
Several wanted to hit him, but Ray was trying to concentrate.
They faced each other. Ray studied the girl. She looked nervous, but determined.
"Ready!"
He frowned. Something wasn't right. Well, not exactly wrong, but unusual.
"Set!"
That's when he noticed that she didn't have any launcher. How was she going to launch her Beyblade?
"LET IT RIP!"
He launched his Beyblade quickly but expertly, and looked up just in time to see her.
Out of nowhere, a wand appeared, some kind of scepter with a star. She twirled it skillfully like a baton and the Beyblade was in the bowl in no time.
"Where'd the fairy wand come from?" Tyson asked, wide-eyed.
"Dizzi's camera isn't such a super piece of technology, but I think she caught it on video," Kenny said. "Let's watch it."
They all crowded around it. The video was put on and they watched.
Sakura was there. And then her hand went to her neck, a bright light flashed, and then they could see her wand launching the Beyblade.
"She's fast!" Max commented.
"Dizzi can break it down," said Kenny. "But it will take awhile."
¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.¤*¨°
Sakura was nervous. If she lost, then it was all over.
"Kero!" she called. "Attack!"
Kero jumped on one of the bumps and landed on Driger, but it was old news. Driger, in turn, spun around and tried knocking Kero into a short abyss.
"You're good," her opponent, known as Ray, remarked. She was too tense to reply.
"This is amazing, ladies and gentlemen. These two are not using their full power, but they are still bringing on a fierce battle."
"I got something," Kenny said. "Here, watch."
The scene entranced everyone. Sakura's hand flew to her neck, and grabbed a kind of key pendant. It magically grew larger, into the wand, during the flash. And then she launched the Beyblade with the wand.
"Magic?" Tyson asked, amazed.
"Looks like it," said Kenny. "But there has GOT to be some logical explanation."
Kai frowned. He looked at Madison, who was filming everything.
Arms crossed, he waited in peace until the end.
¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.¤*¨°
Sakura was truly anxious now. She was afraid to lose. What would her teammates say? Mei Lin? And Li? Li was nice to Mei Lin, but Sakura suspected that it was because Mei Lin was his cousin AND not everything would be over if she lost.
Panic surged through her. "Kero! Transform!"
¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.¤*¨°
"What is that?" Kenny turned at a bright light. "Her Bit Guardian is transforming?"
"What is this?" Ray said, shielding his eyes from the light.
"Cerberus! Release!"
Ray reacted. "Driger, go!"
Cerberus prowled. Sakura waited for the right moment, and---
"Go, now!" she yelled.
With one swift movement, Driger lost.
¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.¤*¨°
"How'd that happen?" Tyson was going crazy.
"Dizzi got it on video again," said Kenny. "Here's what happened: after the transformation, Driger reacted and came out. Cerberus evaded all the attacks, and waited for one second after one of the attacks. Driger had no time to react at that point."
"There's no way she could be that fast!" Tyson said.
"And surprisingly speed isn't her point of strength. The Bit Guardians react to emotions, but they seem to also have their own personalities."
"Isn't that just like Bit Beasts?"
"Yeah, but in this case there can be clashed personalities with the human. Theirs were synchronized pretty good."
"I still think it's like the Bit Beasts."
"Yeah, but the Bit Beasts have points of defense and offense, etc. This one bases its strength mainly on the personalities."
¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.·¤*¨°·.,,.¤*¨°
"Good job, Sakura!" Madison said. "And I filmed the whole thing."
"Thanks," Sakura said.
"Good job, Sakura," said Eriol. Li glared tentatively at the smiles they exchanged. But he was growing more observant. I can't sit back forever and watch them be friends.

Thank you to the reviewers, I love you all. But I can't answer your questions or do what you want to happen in the story, that would spoil it! Don't worry I have everything planned!
