Chapter 3# Let's battle

Maya placed her hands on her knees trying to regain her breathe, sighing she leant back up against the wall.

"Why did you run off? It took me ages to find you."

Maya looked up to see Lily walking slowly down the ramp, rolling her eyes Maya put her elbows up onto the railing.

"I bumped into the blonde haired guy from yesterday," she stated, putting her hand into her pocket, Maya pulled out a green beyblade; she looked down at the object.

"This is all I got."

Maya lifted the blade and bit a corner of it.

"Yuck, it's metal, what a hunk of junk," she snapped, staring down at it.

"Then can I get it back," a voice demanded.

Maya and Lily looked up, on the railing above, crouched the figure of Ray, his bronze eyes staring down at them.

Their eyes flashed and turned into slits, their top lip lifted a little as they showed their fangs. Ray stood up on the railing doing a forward flip to land just next to the girls.

"You want it back, you'll have to go through us first," Maya hissed, moving into her battle stance.

Ray smiled and moved into his.

"Maya, that's enough, you said yourself it was a hunk of junk, so why don't you just give it back," Lily complained, tugging on Maya's sleeve.

Maya snarled in annoyance, "alright."

She moved and stood up straight, holding out her hand. Ray moved forward and took the blade; he still had a smile on his face.

Maya and lily turned and was about to run off.

"Do you want to come and see what this hunk of junk can do?" he asked, staring at the to girls.

Maya looked over at Lily, a smile crossed their faces. It would be the first time that they would be inside a tournament stadium.

"Yeah alright," they both replied.

Ray turned and motioned them to follow him, he took a few steps then stoped. He turned around and faced them again.

"There's only one thing you have to promise me," he said, staring into the two girl's eyes.

"What?" Maya snapped.

"You won't steal while your there."

"We promise," Lily replied slowly, glancing over to Maya to say the same.

"I promise."

With that Ray turned and headed back up the ramp, with the two girls close behind.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

"Hey, don't panic!" Ray called, when he caught sight of Max through the crowd.

Max spun around and saw Ray walking up to him, with the green blade in one of his hands. A huge smile erupted on Max's face.

"You got Draciel back," Max laughed happily as Ray handed it back.

"What are they doing here?" Kai's cold voice sliced through the happy atmosphere.

The team turned and looked behind Ray, where two girls stood nervously.

"Hey it's them!" Tyson yelled.

Everyone rolled their eyes.

"Of cause it's them, they're just there," Kai snapped back.

"I invited them along to watch us battle, they didn't know what Max's blade was, so I thought maybe they should know so they know not to take it again," Ray spoke calmly, his eyes moving around the group.

Kai glared at them before turning around, "well they're not getting their paws on my Dranzer."

Ray just shook his head, as Kai walked off.

"So what are your names?" Tyson blurted out.

Maya tilted her head and stared at him.

"My names Maya," she said simply.

"My names Lily," Lily stated as she walked over to Tyson, she held out her hand, "nice to meet you...um."

"It's Tyson."

"Nice to meet you Tyson."

"Oh sorry I forgot to introduce myself before, my name is Ray," Lily turned around to look at the raven black haired boy, with the wrapped long ponytail, that had just brought them up to the group.

"My names Max," the blonde haired boy stated, glancing over at Maya once in a while.

"The names Kenny," the boy looked over the top of his laptop as he spoke, "and the guy who just walked off is Kai, he's the captain of our team the Blade Breaker."

Maya shifted her gaze to the two-toned blue haired caption that was leaning up against a wall near the entrance. She noticed that his mahogany eyes were staring back at her, she smiled lightly. "Doesn't your battle thing begin soon," Lily said, as she noticed the time on Tyson's watch.

"Oh damb, it does, come on."

The group then dashed towards the entrance, Maya and Lily followed behind.

"Why does he trust us?" Lily asked, as she ran beside Maya.

"Because he's a neko-jin, just like us, I feel he believes that we are good and that we don't just steal because we can."

"Wow, do you think his friends will trust us."

"I don't know, but as long as we don't steal from them we can hang, it would be nice to see how they live."

"Yeah, I would like to see what bladers actually do,"

The group came to a halt outside a set of doors.

"This way," Ray pushed opened the doors and the stadium lights flooded the doorway.

Maya and Lily lifted their arms to shield their eyes as they followed in, they were stunned, they were down on the floor of the stadium, a round bowl was in the middle, the crowd's roars and cheers filled the air, camera's surrounded them. They followed the group up to a small bus stop looking seating block. Maya and Lily listened eagerly as the team discussed who was to bey battle.

"I want to battle," Tyson whined.

"Ok you Tyson, Kai and Max will battle," Ray said, pointing at them.

"No Ray, you battle I'll sit this on out," Max butted in.

Ray nodded, "let's go."

Lily and Maya heard the speakers crackle to life.

"Welcome once again to the Asian Tournament in beautiful...uh... downtown.... uh..." //B.B//

"We're in China, Brad, It's a Country." //A.J//

"Oh yeah I knew that...Welcome to the Chinese beyblade champion ships, I'm Brad Best." //B.B//

"And I'm A.J Topper and we'll be your commentators for this tournament." //A.J//

"The two teams battling are the Blade Breakers against the home team The White Tigers." //B.B//

"We're in for one humdinger of a catfight, as Ray will be battling against old friends." //A.J//

"Well first up we have the mighty White Tigers." //B.B//

Maya and Lily looked across the field to the other side, the doors opened and a team appeared.

A cute guy that was around the same hight as Ray appeared first, he had chocolate brown short spiked hair, his cat like brown eyes stared directly at Ray. He had a t-shirt that was split up the front revealing his well- built chest, his hands were wrapped and he wore black pants and a pair of Chinese shoes. Maya noticed him grin.

"He's also a neko-jin, I haven't seen this many in ages," she commented as she looked him up and down.

"See something you like Maya," Lily teased.

Maya sent Lily a glare before returning her gaze to the other team.

"Lee, the captain of the White Tigers, he's a hard kitty to beat when Galeon is by his side," //B.B// "Now here we have the lovely Mariah, she seems sweet but in battle the claws come out to play when her bit beast Galux is on the field, this is one wild pair that'll give anyone the ran for their money," //A.J//

Following closely behind the other guy, was a pink haired girl, her hair was tied back with a light pink ribbon into a high ponytail and she wore a headband that had light pink cat's ears on it. She wore a white singlet top with white three-quarter pants that had pink trimming, she had a pink jumper wrapped around her waist and she also had light pink floppy boots, with white trimming.

"Jeez pink freak... she's blinding me," Lily commented, a look of disgust in her eyes.

Maya laughed lightly and a snort was heard in the background. Maya turned her head to see Kai smirking as he watched the other team.

"Like what we have to say Kai?" Maya said.

Kai turned and glared at her, smiling in reply Maya turned back to catch site of the two remaining team members entering the stadium.

There was a tall big built guy; he had small dark brown eyes and a mow hawk looking haircut done to his black hair. He had on green overalls that were trimmed with red.

"Oh my god this team is a walking fashion disaster," Lily sighed, shaking her head and once again shielding her eyes.

"Gary is the giant of The White Tigers; he's nice and would like everyone to get along. But when he gets mad, he gets really mad and that's where the power of his Bear Axe attack comes from." //B.B//

Walking beside him was a short guy with green hair that was in a ponytail, the front bit of hair cover one of his violet coloured eyes, he had a blue fighting outfit with a bag slung over one shoulder, he had brown floppy boots on.

"Kevin, the elf with fangs!!!!! Know who I mean? ... (Uncomfortable silence)...." //B.B//

"Ok, Kevin is the shortest member of the team but it doesn't mean that he's the weakest, his monkey packs a punch and when Galman is let lose you better watch out," //A.J//

"Seriously, I mean walking fashion disasters, I so want to walk over there and show Mariah a few pointers, like wow over doing it with the pink and with her face shape, her hair should be down," Lily complained, waving her hand in the direction of Mariah.

"Calm down, my God Lily, chill," Maya said, holding on to Lily's shoulder.

Lily got herself so worked up she had to stop for a breather. Maya noticed Kai was still smirking, she smiled, "he's not that cold," she thought to herself.

Maya and Lily listened as the commentators talked about the Blade Breakers and after awhile Tyson was standing next to the dish, with what they called a launcher in his hand ready to battle Lee.
