NB: Okay we are back with another chapter of More than meets the Eye.
Ray: So what's happening in the chapter?
NB: Ray-chan you ask me that now. Just read.
Kai: Just hurry up.
Kirara: Don't rush her.
NB: Yeah Kai. Also I marked Kai mine with a [2] That's cause (since I didn't explain this.) I read it in Bester of Death Chibi Curse. Please don't kill me. I rereading it and it would get out and before I knew it, it was on the paper. I didn't meant to put 2 in it was suppose to be 1. Ty way is also where I got Tyson's nickname too. So to Bester of Death if you happen to reading this story. I'M SORRY. PLEASE FORGIVE ME!
Okay some question that need to be answered. To LingXiaoyu, Aibou means buddy, partner you see it a lot in the Yugioh section cause most Yamis have a thing about calling their lights that. Trust me I'm not the only one with a Yami. Maybe in the Beyblade section I'm or not, but in FF.net I'm sure not. Call me a copycat for getting a Yami but I getting desperate to make sure Kaira doesn't killed me when the next chapter of, Of a Deep Blue, which will be out soon as I finish proof reading it. Hopefully today or tomorrow. Make sure to look for that story too.
Koi has two meanings. The first one is fish. They're very colorful but that's not the meaning I'm using in the story. The second meaning is love. That's the meaning I use in the story.
Maui is an island in the Hawaiian Island Chain. It's big. My aunty brought some goodie-goodie home. It's like ice cream. Really good and a bit sweet.
Kirara: So you did have sugar.
NB: Not really.
Kai: Please tell me that you didn't have any this morning.
NB: No. Beside don't you trust me?
Kai: At this rate no.
NB: I guess I have to go and get Kaira.
Kai: No yet! I can't face her like this. Beside the chapter she's in doesn't come out for a long.
NB: You think that's going to stop her from seeing you?
Kai: No but!
NB: But what? I'm waiting my dear brother.
Kai: Forget it.
Ray: How long do you think they'll keep that up?
Kirara: Don't know.
**Two Hours Later**
Ray: I don't think I'll stop anything soon.
Kirara: True. Let's get the story on.
Ray: Yeah. But you got to do the Disclaimers.
Kirara: Fine. My aibou doesn't own Beyblade or any other anime that appears in the story.
More than meets the Eye
The Bladebreakers walked into the stadium. It was time for their next match they would be up against the Duelist team. They didn't seem harder yet you shouldn't underestimate your opponents just yet.
The Duelist Team consists of three players. Yugi Mouto, team leader, Seto Kaiba, billionaire and team genius and last Joey Wheeler Yugi's best friend. They all had Bit Beast but since the team was new the Bladebreakers didn't know what to expect. I guess it just made the battle more and more interesting.
"So we're up against the Duelist Team," asked Ray as they walked towards the team box.
"Yep," answered Kenny.
Hoshi took her seat on the bench. Kai followed her and also took his seat. Today's order was Max, Ray, then and Tyson. The Duelist team was going in the order of this. Joey, Seto and then Yugi.
"Welcome back all you Beyblade fans," yelled Jazzman.
"We're coming live for the China Tower in downtown Hong Kong," said AJ.
"Actually that would uptown mountains side AJ," said Brad.
"Oh that's right," said AJ.
"Today's battle between the Bladebreakers and the Duelist team," said Jazzman. "Will Max of the Bladebreakers and Joey of the Duelist team please come forward?
Both Max and Joey headed towards the dish and ready their blades.
"Max is the Bladebreakers defensives player," said Brad. "His Bit Beast Draciel isn't always on the defensives side though."
Bladebreakers Max Bit Beast: Draciel Special Attack: Metal Ball Stats: Attack: 2 Defense: 3 Endurance: 3
"Yeah but don't forget the Duelist Team Joey Wheeler. His Bit Beast Baby Dragon is no pushover," said AJ.
Duelist Team Joey: Bit Beast: "Baby" Baby Dragon Special Attack: Fire Breath Stats: Attack: 3 Defense: 2 Endurance: 1
"We'll see. Today the Bladers will be blading the Great Wall of China Dish," said Brad.
The dish shaped like the Great Wall of China just twisted came out of floor. In, out and all round when the loops of the Dish.
"This makes it hard for the Bladers to move around seeing that they'll lose sight of the blades off and on again," said Brad.
"3.2.1 Let it rip," said Jazzman. Both blades hit the dish and started spin around the dish.
"And they're off," said AJ.
"Alright," said Joey, "Hey Max no hard feelings but me and my Bit Beast Baby are going to blow you away."
"That's what you think," said Max. "Draceil Attack!"
The purple Bit Beast of Max's blade came out in a flash and then both blade and Bit Beast disappeared.
"Wha? Where did your blade go," asked Joey looking all over.
"Now Draceil!" The blade appeared behind Joey's Baby giving it no chance to evade the attack. Joey's blade when flying out of the ring.
"Oh man," said Joey. He picked up his beyblade. Looking at Max he gave a thumbs up. "Hey kid you blade pretty well."
"Thanks Joey. You did a good job too," said Max returning the thumbs up with his. Max returned to the bench. It was Ray's turn now.
Ray headed towards the dish. Seto was a powerful opponent and his bit beast was something you shouldn't take lightly. Ray readies his blade. He hoped Seto wasn't as hard as he looked. Ray felt he wasn't ready yet to take someone this powerful. Ray shook his head. There was no time to think like that. The worse he could do was doubt himself right now.
"We have Seto Kaira the billionaire of Kaiba Corp and his Bit Beast the Blue Eyes White Dragon. That Bit Beast is one strong Beast. Its Blue Lightning Attack is sure to whip you out of your seat," said Brad.
Duelist Team Seto Bit Beast: "Blue Eyes" Blue Eyes White Dragon Special Attack: Blue Lightning Stats: Attack: 4 Defense: 1 Endurance: 1
"Now Brad let's not forget the Bladebreakers Ray and his Bit Beast Driger. These two are a wild team that destroy anyone or anything in their path," said AJ.
"Bladers ready," asked Jazzman as both Ray and Seto ready their blades to be launched. "3.2..1 Let it Rip!"
Both blades were launched and hit the dish.
(Did you think I would be that cruel?)
The blades when around the dish, under the walls of China Wall, around it, hitting each other back and forth. "Blue Eyes it's time to end this ," said Seto. The great dragon appeared for its prison and began to attack Driger.
"Driger Tiger Claw attack," said Ray.
The White Tiger appeared at his master's command. Both Bit Beast gave off enormous amounts of power. Hoshi and Kai both blinked at the power. Never had they seem this much power unless you count when they both practice together. Hoshi's eyes became slits as she thought, *what is this? Driger wasn't showing this much power as it was before.* Kai was think somewhere around the same lines.
//Hoshi when did Driger have this much power?//
/I don't know. Maybe from a strong feeling Ray is experience./
//Could be. Maybe fear or something else.//
/True. Or the only other reason is that it's starting./
//We're probably closer on the second one.//
"Hey chief does Ray have a chance of winning this round," asked Tyson.
Kenny tapped away at his laptop. "Well Tyson to be honest I don't know. Driger is showing huge amounts of power right now, so it's hard to say. But Seto's Blue Eyes is matching this power for power. It's anyone's guess who will win."
Ray on the other hand was surprised at how much power was coming off of Driger. *He never did this before,* thought Ray.
Meanwhile Kai and Hoshi realized who was going to win.
//As much as I don't like to say this.//
/Ray's going to lose. Yes I know./
//Driger will be distracted when transferring the power to Ray, leaving him a wide open for a attack. Even if it doesn't work Driger will be too tired to battle after that. If you remember the same thing happened to us.//
/I remember./
Then suddenly Driger explode into a big green ball and headed straight towards at Ray. Everyone was shocked at this as the Driger when straight through Ray and back to his bit. Seconds after that Driger stopped spinning. *What just happen,* thought everyone excluding Kai and Hoshi.
"Uh I don't know what just happen," said Jazzman. "But the winner of the round is Seto Kaiba."
"What the hell was that," growled Seto as he looked at Ray.
"I don't know," said Ray. He picked up his Beyblade and headed back towards the bench. His mind was in confusion. There were many thoughts running though his head. *Why did that happen and what did Driger do to me,* thought Ray. These were just some thoughts racing through his head.
Hoshi got up to greet Ray. As she walked pass him she said something into his ear, "Don't worry about it Ray," she said, "It was bond to happen sooner or later."
She walked out the arena she need do something. Kai knew where she was going and after all she was only here for this battle to she how her student was doing. She pretty new what was going to happen. Kai was probably going to take Tyson's place or something like that. Just to insure that fact that we won the battle. Then again maybe not. Who knew?
What Hoshi said just left Ray even more confused on what she meant. Was she saying that he probably would have lose one day? He knew that was true or was it what Driger did was what she meant? *Sometimes Hoshi,* he thought, *I wish that you would stop talking in riddles and just give me a straight answers.* Then Ray image Hoshi saying something along the lines of, "Now if I gave you an answer to everything what would the use of asking you anything? There are just some things you got to figure out by yourself."
So maybe this was something he needed to figure out. But right now, he felt even more lost then when he was still with the White Tigers.
Ray snapped out of his thoughts as Jazzman began to count down the start of the battle. He was so wrapped up in his thoughts he barely noticed that the battle had almost begun.
He watched in silent as Tyson and Yugi launched their beyblades. Surprising he knew that Tyson was going to win. Yugi maybe the King of Games and a good blader but something told Ray that he was going to lost the battle anyway. No matter how hard Yugi tried. In this battle, Tyson was better and faster. He was going to win.
~*~Later~*~Ray's POV~*~
Well I was right. I don't know how but I was right. Tyson won and we moved on to the semi-finals. I also heard that the White Tigers also moved up to the semi-finals.
I walked outside. It was nighttime. The sun had set just minutes ago, leaving a orange reddish colored sky. I launched my blade at a tree. I may have been defeated today but I need to get better. As someone said before, 'Practice makes prefect.'
I must have launched Driger for about a hour when a hand gripped my shoulder. "Stop it right now," came a voice.
I turned around to see Hoshi right behind me. "Look Ray if you're upset that you lose the battle today then don't. Forget about it there was nothing you could do about it. Beside it would do us any good if you and Driger are tried for tomorrow's match. And the last thing I need right now is for you to get sick, Ray."
Maybe Hoshi was right. It wouldn't do me or the team any good if I was sick or if I was too tired to fight. I put Driger away in my pocket. Hoshi smiled at me and we both walked into the hotel we were staying at. So maybe tomorrow I can try again and win the match. I'm sure Hoshi will be proud of that. Maybe one day I'll tell her how I feel. But until then I'll just enjoy the time I have with her.
~*~
Ray: Well that was pretty good. I wonder why Driger did that?
Kirara: Don't know. As Hoshi about that.
Ray: Where did they go?
Kirara: Funny they were here a moment ago.
Ray: Well before anyone forgets, don't forget to review. More reviews, more chapters. But the next one will have to wait cause Hoshi's trying to finish the Of a Deep Blue chapter.
Kirara: Where did you think they when?
Ray: Just about anywhere. We some try the Beyblade dish. Maybe they're practicing.
Kirara: Okay.
Ray: Uh we got to go. So bye for now.
Kirara: Don't forget to review or I'll be force to hurt you.
Ray: So what's happening in the chapter?
NB: Ray-chan you ask me that now. Just read.
Kai: Just hurry up.
Kirara: Don't rush her.
NB: Yeah Kai. Also I marked Kai mine with a [2] That's cause (since I didn't explain this.) I read it in Bester of Death Chibi Curse. Please don't kill me.
