Change of Heart
Chapter 16
The Night Before
Summary: Someone's still angry about being broken. (holds Kai plushie) I DIDN'T DO IT! That's all I got.
Battle City Stadium...
There was an enormous mass of people inside the stadium. Seto Kaiba stood on a stage, explaining the rules for the Duel Monsters part on Battle City. As soon as he was finished, he sat down beside Mokuba. He sighed, limply linking his hands together. "I don't see why I let her talk me into having a double tournament," he breathed.
"Almost certainly because Kai can't duel, right, Seto?" Mokuba replied.
"Almost certainly," Kaiba agreed. "She'd just better get here soon before something occurs."
As if on cue, someone ran up from behind Seto and Mokuba, hurrying to the microphone. "Sorry to keep everyone waiting. I'm Hera, captain of the Goddesses, the authorized Battle City Beyblade team. Only seven teams can make it to the finals, as well as my team. On the whole, the Beyblade Battle City team rules are also the same as Duel Monsters Battle City, except rather than locator cards, the loser must surrender his locator bit. There are usually four players in a team, but Beybladers can also participate independently. The teams need six locator bits, and no free rides." She felt Kaiba come out from behind him. "Yes?" she murmured to him.
"You nearly missed your attention. Please don't let it happen again," Kaiba cautioned. He went to the microphone. "Battle City begins tomorrow."
That night at Kame Game Shop...
"That ended suddenly," Yugi sighed.
"Tell me about it," Joey said, his hands behind his head. "I thought we're gonna start tonight."
"Just go home, Hilary!" Tyson yelled. He ran past Yugi and Joey, jumping behind the sofa. "Kai, keep her away!"
"I wouldn't help it if I could, Tyson," Kai said. "Wait... what are you doing here?"
"I came with the White Tigers before Ray phoned and said you guys were here," Hilary replied. "But now you're staying for the new tournament."
"No, we aren't," Tyson corrected unhappily. "We don't have a full team. With Kai out of order – "
"I'm not out of order!" Kai yelled, standing up. "So what if I'm missing part of my shoulder? I can still blade."
"Kai, you're not supposed to stress your shoulder," Ray reminded him, petting Seika. "You could hurt yourself even more."
"I don't care," Kai retorted. "Bad shoulder or not, I won't let Seto and Trisha show me up!"
"Who's Trisha?" Yugi asked.
"That doesn't matter," Kai replied. "The Blade Breakers are going to Battle City, and they're gonna come first!"
