Disclaimer: The Arcan Blades do not own Beyblade. We dearly wished we did, though, so we could turn this storyline into a real season.
Jade: Well…things can only get better, you know that, right guys?
Mike: Yeah, I guess so. I mean, now we know what we're all fighting for, and we're going to have to do our best.
Patrick: Hello!! Can we cut the emotional part? Have you any idea what Judy and those other adults have in store for us?! It's boot camp!
Alexia: What's wrong with boot camp? It's beyblading boot camp.
Jade: (rolling her eyes) I'll take anything that helps us win against the Demolition Boys. (Looks to the audience) All right there, everybody? Well, read and review!!
CHAPTER NINETEEN
The Chain of Events Begin
The walk back to camp after the late-night meal was not a very cheerful one, and neither was the meal. The beybladers all dribbled apart as they headed back to the grounds, but there was a noticeable gloom in the air. The adults noticed it, but did not acknowledge it. Zeus divined what the reason was, but did not speak to the Relic Bladers about it.
Walking back to the camp, a hand touched Alexia's shoulder and she turned around to see Max. Max smiled faintly at her and said, "Don't look so down—we'll get your big brother back."
"Thanks, Max—you're an angel," Alexia replied, smiling for him. Max smiled and walked back a few paces off to talk to Tyson and Kenny. Alexia sighed and kept walking, and then she realized that someone was walking alongside her.
It was Kai. He hadn't said anything, but after a moment he most tentatively asked, "Anything…I could…do?"
"You sound as if you don't even want to ask," Alexia gave a hollow laugh.
Kai flushed and turned away. "I'm not used to it."
"I noticed," she answered with a slight smile. "Don't worry about it, Kai…"
A pause, and then he asked, "It doesn't seem to bother you all that there is a chance that you would all die in three days or so, if you lost the tournament."
"Sure, it bothered us…" said Alexia. "During the earlier tournaments. And I admit it bothered me a bit more when I saw Tala and realized how difficult it was going to be to bring him back. But we eventually got used to the idea… We asked for it, anyway…" She let out her breath and said, "But…we don't think about it now."
"Why not?"
"Because…in that brief time that Tala was normal…when we tried to rescue him…we all learned how much he believed in us. And how much he knows that we'll all pull through. So we don't think about losing… we only think about winning and not letting him down."
She glanced at Kai and smiled. "And I know that you Bladebreakers are people he believes in too." Then she turned away and said, "I just don't know if I believe in me…"
Kai glanced at her and said quietly, "I believe in you."
Alexia looked at him, and he gave her a very faint smile before saying, "So you should too. You'll get him back."
For a moment, she just looked back at him, and she smiled. But as she did, there was a chorus of, 'ooohh's around them, and they saw that the other Bladebreakers and the Relic Bladers were watching them, smirking.
Kai colored up and demanded, "What are all of you doing here?!"
"We were going to talk about who plays tomorrow," said Mike. "But it appears that the both of you are a little…preoccupied."
"Mike!" Alexia cried, flushing.
"Ah, cool it—we'll talk about it tomorrow," said Patrick, waving it away.
"Yeah," said Tyson, smirking as they walked off. "Wouldn't want to disturb your date, Kai…"
Kai took one step towards him and he flew off to the campsite along with the rest. Max waved at them before they dematerialized in the dark, and Alexia just laughed.
"They do make a cute couple…" said Max as they walked back to camp. The campsite was clearly visible now, because a small bonfire was lit and flickering jauntily in the middle of all the tents. The firelight glowed into their faces as they continued to talk.
"Not too bad considering Kai used to be somewhat of a jerk before," said Tyson. "But I didn't realize how mellowed-out he's gone to fall in love."
"So you think he's in love with Alexia?" Mike blinked.
"How should I know?" Tyson shrugged. "I don't know anything about girls and that love stuff."
Mike, Jade and Patrick, however, looked at each other, only so slightly disturbed. As soon as they were in the private space of their own plot of tents, Patrick said, "Am I the only one who thinks that what Tyson just observed is a little…wrong?"
"We don't have the right to bar something like that," Jade said, crossing her arms over her chest. "There's nothing wrong in them liking each other."
"But you know…it's not…right," Mike said, motioning with his hands to express something that he couldn't with words. "I think you know what I'm trying to say here…"
"We never exactly thought that there'd come a time that this would happen…" said Patrick. "And even if it did, we'd just go to Tala and ask him what to do without screwing up… But he's not here anymore."
"So what do we do?" asked Jade.
"Come on, you guys, this is crazy," said Mike. "They can't be…" he groped to say the words and failed, "…that. They're just…close."
They looked up to see Alexia and Kai walking into the camp together, talking, and Kai looked quite comfortable in talking to her. And then Alexia said something and laughed, and Kai laughed a bit, but suddenly flushed and covered his mouth, like he just realized that it wasn't like him. And Alexia just smiled at him.
Jade raised an eyebrow. "I beg to differ."
"Argh…we don't need a complication like this…" Mike said, putting his hands to his cap and rolling his eyes to the pitch and starry sky.
"Hey, if our luck turns bad, we'll all be dead anyway…" Patrick thought aloud.
"Shut up and think positive," said Jade. "We'll win, we'll get Tala back, and we'll go back home—"
"And they'll find out that she likes a foreigner and we let it happen so, yes, and we are still screwed no matter what we do," said Patrick, falling on his back on the grass.
"I hate you, you know that, don't you?" Jade said, making a face at him.
"Simmer down," said Mike. "Maybe they won't mind."
"Fat chance," said Patrick to the sky and Jade said, "I'm going to hate you even more if you keep talking like that."
"That's because, dearest Jade, you like a foreigner too," said Patrick with a snort.
Jade reddened. "I—well, I—" And Patrick burst out into an incredulous laugh as he sat up. "Oh you can't even be given leave to deny it." He took her head and turned it to the Bladebreakers' plot of tents where Ray was talking to Kenny on something, the firelight flickering most becomingly on his face.
Patrick pointed at him and said with a sick sweet smile, "Right there."
Jade tried to prevent her cheeks from flaming up but found it not possible. Ray turned and saw her, and he smiled and waved, and Jade smiled and waved slightly back. Ray turned around to Kenny, and Jade turned away, saying, "That's different. He doesn't like me."
"Denial," Patrick stated. "That's the first stage of it, then POW!! It hits you like a brick going 500 km/h."
"Shut up!" Jade exclaimed, hitting him upside the head and blushing even harder.
Alexia walked into camp and said, "What's up?"
"Jade's denying that she likes Ray and he likes her back," Patrick automatically said and Jade pushed him into the grass where he hit with the thump.
"He does," Alexia rolled her eyes.
"And you say that why?" Jade asked.
"The way he always smiles at you," said Mike, grinning.
"He's being nice."
"Everytime something happens, he's with the first to get to the scene," said Patrick.
"He was worried, like any of you."
"He's always hanging around with you," Alexia supplied.
"He is being friendly, what is the matter with all of you?" Jade demanded. She crossed her arms over her chest and said, "It's nothing to be discussed—how did this all start again anyway?"
Mike cleared his throat, "About…things." He suddenly stood up and said, "You know, I think we should all get to bed. Come on—we need to get rest for tomorrow."
"Right," said Patrick, getting up. "Go to sleep, ladies. Let's go."
The Relic Bladers then retired to their tents just as everyone else vanished into theirs. Judy said over the megaphone, "And this time, 'lights out' really is 'lights out', you all got that?"
Tyson's father doused the campfire, and tents zipped up and there was relative silence. As the wind passed by, rustling the leaves of the trees, it was kind enough to conceal whispering going on within the tents of certain beybladers in the plots.
Max, staring up at the ceiling of his tent, said, "You really think we'll win, Tyson?"
"Oh now it's you who's worried," said Tyson with a snort.
"I can't help but be," said Max. "I mean…there's a lot at stake here."
"We will, don't worry about it," said Tyson. "We should believe in ourselves or we really won't."
"You're right," said Max. "All right. I won't worry about it."
In the other tent of the Bladebreaker plot, there was also conversation, and Kai said, "I just don't know. I don't even know if it's a good or a bad thing."
"Well what's wrong if you like someone?" asked Ray.
"There isn't anything wrong with it—it's just it's not like me," replied Kai.
"It's not even like you to be telling me things like this," said Ray, glancing at him. "I'd expected you to talk about the tournament."
"I can't focus," said Kai. "I have to get this out of my system."
"You can't take love out of your system just like that," Ray laughed. "It's impossible."
"And you'd know about that, won't you?" Kai snorted, expecting Ray to deny it, but Ray didn't say anything for a moment. And then he said, "Well…I don't know."
There was a pause and Kai said, "It's Jade, isn't it? What about Mariah?"
"What about her?" Ray raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't she…I mean, didn't she use to be…" Kai on purposely let this statement trail away.
"Mariah and I are just friends, and we've made that pretty clear," said Ray in a matter-of-factly. "Besides, she seems to be gravitating towards Lee on that if that's what you're trying to say."
"And Robert practically gives the all-clear approval for you."
"He didn't say anything at all about it and it has nothing to do with what you've asked me. I'm not the one getting distracted—you are."
"Well what do you want me to do, huh? Just walk up to her, tell her and get it over with?"
"Not a bad idea, I'll say…"
"You're out of your mind!"
"It's probably the only way, you know. The only way to…'get it out of your system', as you say it…"
"I'd like to see you do it first."
"Not happening. She doesn't like me. I'll end up being shot down and making a total fool of myself."
Kai groaned and rolled over in his sleeping bag, trying to block out the only way out of his dilemma proposed by Ray. "Sleep on it. It'll come to you."
"I ought to say that to you," said Ray, but he didn't say anything more after that.
Kai lay awake, tense. I have to stop thinking about it. What am I so worried about, anyway? That I'd get shot down? That sort of thing never used to bother me before. But that was because I never had someone that important to me before. If I don't do something, I won't be able to concentrate. Not at all. But I just can't do what Ray just suggested.
And as this was happening both girls from the other nearby Relic Blader plot were awake.
"Tomorrow's the first match of the finals," said Alexia. "Best of three. What do you think?"
"We have a pretty good shot," said Jade. "Two to one, like they asked for. But I think that they'll have something up their sleeves for sure. They can't possibly be like that the whole way. They know they're dealing with us."
"Tala does," said Alexia grimly. "Do you think he'll tell them the composition of our beyblades?"
"Most likely. And then they'll come up with an ingenious way to do something about that. It's our beyblade composition that's the only thing that's giving us an advantage."
"That and we have a lot of friends to back us up and keep us going to the end."
Jade laughed. "You're right there."
There was a long and uncomfortable pause. Then Jade asked, "Hey Alexia…do you…um…"
"What?" she asked.
"No, maybe I shouldn't ask. It'd awfully rude of me."
"No, just tell me."
Jade glanced at her. "Well…do you…like Kai?"
Alexia reddened and even if it was dark it was obvious. "Well… I don't exactly know how to answer that… Maybe I do, I guess. He's been awfully nice."
"The Bladebreakers would laugh outright if they heard that."
"Well he's nice to me, anyway," said Alexia. "And…well, I guess I do like him."
There was silence, and then Jade said, "But Alexia…you know…you do know that you're not supposed to, right?"
Alexia looked at her, and Jade said, "You know who you are…and you know the rules. I'm not saying it's a very bad thing because I think it's great, but… what do you intend to do about it?"
Alexia then replied, "Maybe we shouldn't talk about it. Let's just focus on the tournament for now and getting Tala back."
"You're right. All right then, good night…"
The wind died away. And everything was now silent.
Judy stepped out of the tent about six-thirty in the morning—the sun was barely up. The first match wasn't until this afternoon, though, as they've just found out through an update that Zeus got from an e-mail in his laptop. It was from Mr. Dickinson, who didn't camp out with them, and since it was considered legitimate, they decided that there should be something that ought to keep them busy in the morning.
Judy looked to Tyson's grandfather, who held the megaphone in one hand, and an air-horn in the other. "Ready?" she asked.
"Right," said the old man. "Let's get them all up, then."
"Day two of beyblading boot camp—let's see how they do," said Judy, snapping some muffs over her ears.
There was silence, and then the airhorn was let loose and…
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPP!!
The beybladers all screamed and sat up so quickly that right after the first, "Aaaaaaah!!" there was an instant united yell of, "Ow!!" that followed it as their craniums all hit the tent roofs. Michael and Eddy were so tall that they nearly ripped through theirs. Gary really ripped through his, and his head popped out from the tent roof.
The airhorn pierced the morning stillness and did not cease until all the beybladers had rapidly scrambled out of their sleeping bags and tore out into the open to see what in the world was making all that racket so darn early in the morning.
They regretted the instant they were all out because the cold Russian morning had caught them all in their sleeping attires. They cried out again in the cold and were about to duck back into the warmth of the tent when the airhorn promptly stopped and a voice said, "Everybody freeze!"
"You've got to be kidding!" Patrick snapped, his teeth chattering in the cold as they all froze, almost literally, in their tracks.
It was Judy and she said, "All of you, to the center at the campfire, please!"
"Boy, I could sure use that campfire right about now," said Enrique, his breath issuing out in a cloud as the Majestics walked over to the campfire.
"Single file, everybody, now!" said Tyson's father. "Line up, firing-squad line, please!"
Shivering, the group all did as told, and Michael said, "Is this still punishment for yesterday?"
"Yes."
They all groaned. "I'll never participate in another food fight again for as long as I live," Kenny muttered.
Tyson's grandfather, strolling around in combat boots and a full regalia of fatigues—much to his grandson's utmost embarrassment—held a riding whip in one had an studied the ranks of beybladers. He stopped upon reaching the Bladebreakers and the Relic Bladers.
He turned to the others and said, "Everybody else—you can go change clothes. But these two groups, stay here."
There was a chorus of "yes!" from the other groups as they scrambled back to their tents, but the other two picked out teams groaned.
"Mom, please," Max begged. "It's practically two hundred below zero out here—in Kelvin scale!"
"Be patient," said Judy calmly. She turned behind her where Zeus was. "All right, then."
Zeus nodded and handed each beyblader their beyblades, which had been taken the night before. The Relic Bladers took theirs, but each Bladebreaker nearly dropped his as it was handed to him.
"What happened?" Tyson asked. "They weigh a lot."
Mike glanced at their beyblades and did a double take. "Hey wait a minute… are those flecks…" he looked up at Zeus, who nodded and said, "We decided you guys needed a little remodeling. I've balanced all of your beyblades—they're in perfect condition—with a little something extra."
"Which is?" asked Ray.
"Arcantitanium," replied Zeus. "The element that completely makes up the Relic Bladers'. It can only be found in Arcanis and is one of—if not the most—most indestructible elements in the world. There's nothing like those beyblades anywhere else."
"Oh, this is so cool!" said Max, looking at his Draciel which had a metallic shimmer to it.
"Unfortunately we didn't have enough Arcantitanium left with us to remake your beyblades completely, and we highly doubted that you would've wanted us to anyway," said Zeus. "So your old friends are back, but better." He smiled. "In Arcanis, beyblades with that metal are called Titan Blades. They should be one of the most powerful in the world. We're still experimenting with other ways to use it for beyblades, but so far the result has been what you see with the Relic Bladers' own."
"Man, we're not used to using such heavy beyblades," said Tyson.
"You think that's heavy," Patrick snorted. He tossed Armada to him. "Catch. But mind your hands—it can cut."
Tyson gasped and tried to catch it without chopping his hands off, but it slipped and landed on his foot. "Ouuuch!!!" he yelled at the top of his lungs, much so that everyone else ran out of their tents. They saw Tyson hopping around on one foot comically until he fell over and smacked into a snow bank.
"Are you all right?" the Relic Bladers and Bladebreakers asked, all hanging over him.
"Whoa, sorry," said Patrick. "I thought you were going to catch it."
"That would've meant I wasn't in my right mind," Tyson said through gritted teeth, clutching his foot. "No prob, though—I'll live. I can walk. In a few hours or so…"
"Don't do that again, Pat—you could've hit his toes off," said Mike, looking up at him, and Patrick nodded, wide-eyed.
The reason for the very early rising was, it turns out, was to have them all train the Bladebreakers and the Relic Bladers one final time. And the Bladebreakers obviously needed a little more getting used to their new beyblades.
Crash!
"Ray, that's the second stadium!" Mariah groaned.
"I can't help it," Ray answered. "Driger is going too fast, slinging about and now that he's heavier I can't control his inertia that well. He'll naturally slam into things."
"You slammed right through the stadium wall, though," said Lee, looking at a large crack in the beystadium.
"It's a good thing we were put to practice, then," said Max, who already had the heaviest blade and now had an even heavier one. His Draciel practically sent Emily's Trygator into orbit at impact—as well as his own beyblade.
Emily, who was nursing her cracked Trygator that she'd hunted for all the way to the bushes at the other side of the grounds, muttered, "I'll say. You'll fly right out of the BIOVOLT stadium if you didn't."
"Having a new blade like this is all good, but there's definitely a downside if you're not used to it," said Tyson, who was staring at his Dragoon.
"Arcantitanium is heavy, yes, but in some ways it also makes your blade faster," Alexia said. "It's just been discovered, and we still haven't figured out how it can be so heavy and yet go so fast…"
"…and how it makes so much damage with doubling inertia," muttered Kai as he and the other Majestics dragged another beystadium into the grounds.
"Boy, I wonder what it'll be like when we finally get used to this," said Max. "Those Demolition Boys will never know what hit them."
"Uh…I don't think so," said Jade, looking at them. "Tala knows about Arcantitanium. Most probably they'll do something to counter us."
Kenny, typing at his laptop nearby, said, "Most probably they'll be using the same makeup of the Midnight Diamond bowl. It's so far has managed to be sturdy enough to take the abuse the Relic Bladers had put on it."
"I guess that's why Zeus had your blades remodeled too," said Mike. "The old makeup of your blades would have never withstood them."
"But now they can," said Ray. "We better get used to them quick."
"Good luck," snorted Patrick. "We've had ours for ages and as you all know we still haven't very properly mastered their control."
There was an 'oof' from Michael as he tried to catch Max's haywire Draciel that went flying out of the beystadium. He'd leapt up and was nearly knocked down. "Whoa," he said. "That was some pitch…"
"Beats yours, anyway," Mike remarked, though not unkindly as he remembered the match he had with Michael.
"If you think that's heavy, then you don't know how hard our blades can hit," said Alexia.
"I do," grumbled Tyson. "My foot's still stinging."
Emily pushed up her glasses as she looked that the Arcans' beyblades. "Those points and blades look terribly sharp… they're real, aren't they?"
"That's right," said Jade. "Hence the gloves. We'd all have been long since cut our fingers off."
"I guess we'll have to work our way up to that, then," said Tyson, grimacing at the beyblade. "But I'm getting the feeling that I really just want to settle with what I have now, thank you."
"Don't blame you," shrugged Mike.
A tap was at Alexia's shoulder, and it was Kai, looking incredibly awkward and uncomfortable. "What is it?" asked Alexia.
"Can I…can I talk to you for a moment?" he said, his lips barely moving.
"Well sure…" said Alexia, blinking at him. "What is it?"
Kai opened his mouth but no sound came out. He closed it, turned away, and tried again but also was not able to make himself clear. "I—it's just that…you see, I…"
He groaned and walked off slowly, saying, "Oh forget it. Sorry for bothering you…"
And he went to where the Majestics were. Alexia was quite puzzled. I wonder what was up with that… What was the matter with him?
Alexia turned around and saw Jade nearby, pretending not to notice. Alexia walked over to her and said, "You did see that, didn't you?"
"Yes," said Jade calmly. "Why?"
"Well what do you think that was all about?" she asked.
"I'm not too entirely sure and I don't think I should jump to such conclusions," replied Jade. "But if I'm right, I'm sure that it's something that'll surprise you."
Alexia raised an eyebrow at her. "You're being on purposely vague, aren't you?"
"Yep," said Jade as Mariah hurried over to them. She looked around and said, "Hey you guys, can I ask you something?"
"Uh…okay…" said Jade, and the three of them walked a little way off.
Mariah glanced around before saying, "I've…kind of a problem…"
"What is it?" asked Alexia.
"See…I like someone. But…I don't know if I could tell him."
The two Arcans looked at each other and then back at Mariah. "Who exactly is the guy?"
Mariah glanced around a moment, then bent forward and whispered to the girls, and they all burst into laughter as Mariah blushed but was smiling all the same.
From another side of the grounds, Ray was obviously trying to hold back his peals of laughter and a crimson-faced Kai snapped, "Oh shut up."
"Come on, I think it was great that you tried," said Ray, smiling. "Sure, you didn't go through with it…but at least you tried, right?"
"And now she thinks I'm a freak," Kai retorted.
"It's not like you to be so concerned about this kind of a thing," said Ray, raising an eyebrow, and Kai sat down, saying, "I haven't been like me all week, if you must know. And this sort of thing shouldn't surprise you."
"Don't worry, she doesn't think you're a freak," said Ray.
"Who said I was worried?!" Kai demanded.
"It's written all over your face," replied Ray.
Kai snorted and turned away, and Robert said, "Come on, quit chatting you two and let's get back to practice."
As the Bladebreakers' captain stood up to practice on his still uncontrollably flying Dranzer, Ray glanced over to where the girls were, talking about something. They were all laughing, as was Jade, and Ray involuntarily smiled.
"And what might you be smiling at?"
He jumped and saw Robert next to him. Robert raised an eyebrow and looked over to where Ray was looking, and he flushed slightly as Robert saw the girls. His face frowned slightly and Ray said, attempting to draw off the subject as he saw the warning signs, "So! Back to practice?"
Robert rolled his eyes, "Ray, look. I think you won't deny it if I said that it's getting increasingly obvious that you may have feelings for my cousin." He stressed the final two words and Ray paled slightly. "But leave her alone, all right? You must focus at the task at hand. I don't need you distracting her and her distracting you."
"Distracting…her?" Ray blinked. "So you really think she likes me?" and he quickly slapped a hand over his mouth in horror of what he just said to Robert's face.
Robert now looked rather furious but took great care not to show it too much. He strode away and said, "Come on, Ray—back to practice—I'll drill you myself…"
Ray bit his lip and followed him. What did I just get myself into?
The airhorn sounded again, signaling a break from practice, and instantly, the Bladebreakers and Relic Bladers fell onto the grassy and yet snowy earth, exhausted.
"Whoa…" said Max, panting from where he lay sprawled on the ground. "Good workout."
"Good torture, you mean," Patrick said dully. "Somebody fetch a wheelbarrow—I can't walk."
Ray just groaned from next to him. "Tell me, you guys—is Driger still whole? I don't have the energy to lift him and see for myself—Robert might've drilled me a little too hard."
"Oh and what did you do now?" asked Tyson, finding enough strength to smirk from the ground.
"What makes you think that I did something?" Ray asked.
"Because Robert was fine with you 'till now," said Mike. "And he's drilled you hard all of a sudden? Come on—if it needed his personal attention then you must've done something…"
"Ah, let's not discuss that, all right?" Ray groaned.
Mike took off his cap and put it over his face. "I'll die right here if all of you don't mind. Resurrect me sometime around two in the afternoon."
"You can't," said Alexia reproachfully. "We have to eat. Then we need to discuss line-up. Then we have to do a final run and then we leave for BIOVOLT stadium."
"Oh man…"
"Hey, you're supposed to be the captain here," said Jade.
"That doesn't entitle me to be a god," he replied.
"All right, you all, get up," said Judy, standing over them, but she was smiling. "All of you did a very good job. You've just about gotten really used to your new beyblades."
"And a good thing too," said Zeus. "Because this kind of practice is the only thing we can do in comparison to what the Demolition Boys might have in their high-tech abbey. What is training in there like, Kai? You've been there, haven't you?"
"Yeah," said Kai, sitting up. "They have virtual reality, the highest technologies and high-level training and equipment… and they do things to bladers there that I'm not exactly comfortable on talking about—all I can say is that this practice here can only scratch the surface of what they must be going through."
"It must be terrible there," Alexia murmured.
"It is," said Kai. "But that's how they do it there. The Demolition Boys are their crowning achievements."
Judy nodded. "You've all done your best. Whatever happens later, don't worry—we all believe in you."
The Bladebreakers and the Relic Bladers looked at each other, and nodded. They all were thinking, Here it goes. It's about to get really messy.
Jade: Eurgh. How can we eat? I feel like I've got a dozen butterflies in my stomach. The Finals, guys! The Finals!
Alexia: You've got butterflies—I've got hornets. That's my big brother we're going against! Are we out of our minds?!
Mike: Shut it! Listen, you guys—think positive! We'll never win if you keep thinking that!
Patrick: He's right.
Jade: You always think that Fearless Leader is right.
Patrick: But he almost always is! The Finals are here and the only thing we can do now is face it head on.
Alexia: (turns to the audience) So, you guys? What did you guys think of this chapter? How do you think the Finals are going to go? Review, okay?
