Chapter 13 - Round 1 - Bladebreakers vs. Dream Shatters
"Alright! Now we're finally gonna do some blading!" cheered Tyson as he and the rest of the Bladebreakers entered the arena. "I reckon this'll be an easy win."
"Don't get too cocky Tyson," said Kai flatly, brushing past him to get to the waiting bench.
Tyson shot a glare at the cold blader. "Look who's talking," he muttered as he followed Rei and Max to the bench. Kenny was already there, doing some last minute analysing with Dizzy.
Just as they got there, the Dream Shatters entered through the other door and silently sat down. Like the Bladebreakers, they were an all boys team.
They shot glances at the Bladebreakers, but offered no attempts at conversation, preferring to silently scrutinize the other team.
"Oh man," groaned Tyson after several minutes of intense staring. "I feel like a guinea pig . . .what about you guys?"
Before Rei could reply to Tyson, Dr. Caroline appeared on the balcony. The stadium was eerily quiet, the lack of a crowd and commentator really being obvious.
Dr. Caroline swept a quick glance at the two teams, frowning when she saw Kenny. Kenny, who was busy setting up the scanning device on Dizzy didn't even notice that Dr. Caroline was staring at him until Max nudged him.
"Wha-?"
Looking up, he met the disapproving look and hurriedly looked away.
"Kenny of the Bladebreakers, leave the stadium. We only allow bladers to wait on the benches," clipped Dr. Caroline curtly.
The other Kenny smirked, before replacing the emotionless mask on his face.
"But I have to-" began Kenny helplessly before he was once again cut off.
"No. Leave now."
"What's wrong with him being here?" protested Rei, only to be silenced with a furious glare.
"LEAVE NOW!" yelled Dr. Caroline, running out of patience. She turned around when a soft static sound could be heard and talked quietly to someone who was apparently still hidden in the shadows at the back of the balcony. A sigh could be heard from the tiny microphone attached to the collar of her shirt.
She turned back to face Kenny.
"If I were you, I would thank your lucky stars that you have recently been sharing a room with one of the more . . . considerate teams," she began. "The Dark Angels are willing to put up with your presence in the balcony at the other side of the arena. She pointed to an identical balcony. "One of them will come down to make sure no . . . accidents will happen on the way."
The Bladebreakers looked furious themselves when they heard this announcement. What was wrong with Kenny being here? The annual world tournaments didn't object to him being there.
Soon Akai appeared. Smiling faintly, she gestured for Kenny to follow her.
"Now that we have that little problem sorted out, let me explain the rules of this match. You are to split your team up into half. Make sure you choose your partner well. Do so now."
The Bladebreakers stared at each other in disbelief. It was obvious that the Dream Shatters knew what was going to happen, for they were split up almost instantly.
"Why didn't anyone tell us?" complained Tyson loudly.
"Shut up Tyson," snapped Kai. /There is NO way I'm going with him/
"How about we draw straws?" suggested Max, a spark coming back to his eyes.
Rei looked amused. "That's . . ." he trailed off, laughing.
Kai's auburn eyes narrowed. "This is no laughing matter, Rei," he rebuked. "You, of all people, I would have thought would have already known that."
Rei looked annoyed at being told off, but ignored the less-than-friendly advice.
Max produced four straws. "What do you say?"
Tyson shrugged and drew a straw. It was small and cut in half.
Rei was next. He drew a whole straw.
Kai drew a half straw. /Oh good God, no/
"Looks like I'm with you, Kai," said Tyson nervously. /He doesn't look happy at all . . ./
Kai grunted and stalked back to the bench.
"Are the Bladebreakers done yet?" came Dr.Caroline's voice, sounding impatient and annoyed.
"Yeah," called back Tyson.
"Very well. May the first pair step up to the dish."
The Dream Shatters' first appeared on the dish, and they surveyed the Bladebreakers who once again were having another 'discussion'.
"C'mon! We wanna go first, don't we, Kai?" Tyson turned to face the team captain, who shrugged dispassionately.
"We're going first, Tyson," said Rei, and Max nodded in agreement.
"Oh, alright," agreed Tyson reluctantly.
"Have the Bladebreakers made their decision yet?" said Dr. Caroline in false sweetness.
Max and Rei stepped onto the dish as a reply.
"Good. Alright, now you two are going to be doing tag team blading. This mean s only one of you from one team can be in the dish at any time, except when the changeover takes place. Unlike your ordinary tag team, you have to knock your partner's blade out of the dish in order to change places. You may change over as many times as you wish. Goal is to knock your opponent out of the dish. Bladers, take your positions. 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . let it rip."
Rei almost missed launching Drigger into the dish, Dr. Caroline was . . . less than enthusiastic about the launch off.
He looked at his opponent, who actually looked rather friendly.
"Hi," he said with a grin.
His opponent smiled back. "Hi. Good luck in the match, Rei, but don't think I'll go easy on you, just 'cause you're new. I'm Kenny, by the way."
Rei blinked. /Kenny? Oh that's right/
"Go Drigger!" he yelled in reply. "Tiger Claw!"
Digger dashed forward with the power of speed, clashing solidly against Kenny's blade, which was almost knocked out upon impact. However, at the last possible moment, his partner launched in his blade, knocking it out and leaving his own in its place.
"Thanks John," said Kenny in relief. "See ya till I get back," he called as he left.
