"The lights in the stadium won't be fixed until tomorrow. So there's are no battles today," said Kenny.
"So we train," said Kai.
"Actually Kai, there's a BBA center not too far from here. Maybe we can train there," said Ray.
"Really," said Max.
The Bladebreakers were lounging in their hotel room. All of them were bored with nothing to really do. Yes training was a choice but no one wanted to train despite the fact that they should since they were in a tournament. Kai was leaning against a wall as Kenny and Ray were sitting on the couch. Max was sitting on the floor and Tyson sat in a single chair. Hoshi was sitting in the last chair in the room, staring out the window, paying little attention to the conversation that was happening between her teammates. Kai looked at his sister, worried. He had never seen her so withdrawn from the others before well not at least in front of them. Kai wasn't the only one who noticed change in behavior; Ray also noticed it as well. In the short time he knew Hoshi, Ray knew she was not one to ignore people when the conversation involved the team.
~*~Later~*~
Kai wandered the streets. The others, beside Hoshi, had gone to the BBA research and training center. Hoshi however disappeared before that, mumbling along the lines that she needed some fresh air. He was worried about his sister. He had never seen her so distracted before. Something was wrong. Let's just hope he could find her before Hoshi decided to do something reckless, something his sister had become quite know for when in a state of panic. Of course that alone was rare to see Hoshi in a state of panic in the first place.
~*~
The said person was currently was wandering through the park. Something was bugging her and she had no idea what it was. It was just a feeling tugging on her heart. Since she started walking, it's done nothing but get worse. It was doing nothing but frustrating her. This feeling of dread existed but it seemed like there was no way to get rid of that feeling. 'What is this feeling looming in my mind and heart,' thought Hoshi. She couldn't explain the feeling. It was like there was a darkness in her heart that was coming for her. She didn't know what to do. She had this feeling before. It was right before she met Michael and again right before he betrayed the team.
Taking a deep breath and hoping it would calm her nerves, Hoshi took a seat on a nearly bench. The park itself was nice and calming but the feeling was bugging her. She just couldn't forget about it and it was driving her crazy. The sound of laughter reached her ears. Taking a look behind her, Hoshi found some kids beyblading in the park's dish. Cheers of, Go get him! You can beat her! Attack!, could be heard as there were many kids blading today. Hoshi stood up and walked to the closest dish to her.
Two kids, probably no older then 10 were blading. The first was a young boy with brown hair and eyes. He was wearing a red shirt with a yellow circle on him and brown pants with more then enough pockets on it. In his hands was the basic black launcher. The second one was young girl who looked just like the boy, also with brown hair and eyes wearing a blue dress and holding a purple launcher.
Hoshi watched curiously as the battle continue onward. About a minute later she knew the battle was going to end up in a tie. Both children were quite good for their age but she knew that both were on the same skill level. 'They probably train together, like Kai and I,' she thought dwelling on memories for a moment. Suddenly there was a loud clash, snapping Hoshi out of her memories as she looked up to see two blades go spinning out of the dish. She stood there for a few moments wondering what had just happened when she realized the beybattle she was just watching was over and her prediction came true. The two blades she just saw belonged to the boy and girl. One blade rolled and landed near her feet. She picked it up and walked over to the dish where the girl was franticly looking for her blade. Kneeing down so she was eye level to the girl, Hoshi handed the girl her Beyblade. Then she padded the girl on the head before smiling and saying, "keep practicing." Hoshi stood up and made her way out of the park.
~*~Five Minutes Later~*~
Kai came walking into the park. He was still looking for his sister and felt that she had come this way. He stopped at the beydish were the girl and boy that Hoshi was watching were finishing up another round of practice and asked them if they had seen her. The girl nodded and pointed in the direction that Hoshi let. Kai ran his hand through his slate-blue bangs and sighed. His sister... He could never find her when he wanted to talk to her. Whether is was on purpose or just by coincidence that it always happens, Kai didn't know. But this wasn't the first time it annoyed him.
'How is it, that she manages to lose me every time? I don't even think she's aware at the fact that I'm trying to find her,' thought Kai. He soon left the park.
~*~
"Go Driger," called out Ray. He, Tyson, Max, and Kenny were still at the BBA center, which turned out to be the All Stars research and training faculties and not the local training center. The results were a bit nasty and at the current moment, they ended up being challenge by some kids there. At the moment, Ray was facing someone who used paint as his defense. The bright colors would make anyone's eyes hurt, but Ray would take of that.
Moments later, Driger had wiped away the paint and sent the other boy's blade flying before crashing in wall. *One doesn't train with Hoshi without picking up a few tips,* thought Ray, grabbing Driger. When he first started training with Hoshi, her blade would go so fast, he had trouble keeping up with it. It was because of that training that he was able to keep track of the kid's blade even with the bright colors.
~*~
Hoshi was still wandering around. She didn't know why but she was. It was starting to get late and she knew she should have head back. Behind her the sun began to set. The sky was turning a deep red and orange. The white clouds were now a light orange color. Hoshi turned the corner and bumped into someone. Being the smaller of the person she bumped into, she was sent flying to ground. "Ow," she mumbled to herself. If it was one thing that she hated, it was the fact that she was small. Hoshi herself was only 5'2 where Kai and Ray were around 5'5, 5'6, Tyson at 5'4 and Max at 5'3 ½. Kenny was the only one smaller then her still. But Hoshi had a feeling when Kenny hit his growth spurt, he too would surpass her.
Hoshi shook the stars from her head as she found the person she bumped into was offering her a hand to help her up. "Sorry but that do you need help." Hoshi froze. The words didn't fit but the voice match. She looked up to find herself staring at a familiar face. *How can this be,* Hoshi thought. Shock began to run its course in her body, numbing her thoughts and vocal cords. *Why is he here? How did he no wait why here of all the places?*
"Miss do you need some help," the voice asked again.
Hoshi slapped the hand away. "I don't know what kind of game your playing but I'm not falling for it." She stood up and refused to meet the his eyes.
"You know me?"
That caught her off guard. Hoshi's head snapped her head up, her crimson eyes narrowing in the process. "What," she half yelled.
"Do you know who I am?" The question was repeated. There was a flash of red in Hoshi's eyes before they widen in surprise and shock. *He truly doesn't remember. My guess is when Dranzer attack and sent him far away, it cause him to lose his memory. Everything is gone. There isn't a single trace left of what he used to be,* thought Hoshi.
~*~
Kai wandered down the same street Hoshi was on, still looking for his sister. *Damnit,* he thought to himself. *I swear on of these days I'm going to put a tracer on her so I don't have to repeat this again.* His white scarf fluttered in the wind as he continued to scan the crowds for his sister. *I could be out training right now but instead I'm too concerned for my sister welfare then to train. It's been how many goddamn hours and I still haven't found. I seriously need to put a tracer on her.*
Suddenly Kai caught a flash of blue hair turning the corner. Then he ran into someone. "Watch where you're going," said a voice. Kai's crimson eyes narrowed and flashed red for a moment. He looked to see a tall, thin guy in a red jacket basket jersey and shorts, spinning a basketball on his index finger. The other guy was shorter then first one but more wider structure. It was this guy that Kai ran into and the guy that told Kai to watch where he was going.
Just as Kai was about to say something, when he felt a spike of power. *Something or someone is ticking off Hoshi,* he thought to him. *She was already restless as was, for something to get her angry is not a good thing.* He darted off, ignoring the shouts of owning an apology from the two guys behind him.
Making a sharp turn around the corner, Kai found himself looking at a face he thought he would never see again.
~*~
Max was shocked, speechless, astonish, bewilder, stun, but most of all confused. The life he knew just shatter. The one thing he away thought that was true; was actually a big lie. The proof? Was right in front of him. Shock after shock came at him today. To find out that the BBA center was not the local training center but a center designed just for America's best team, the All Stars. Then he and his friends were then challenged to a beybattle, 3 on 3, which they accepted. Tyson battle first, making quick work of the challenger, followed by Ray who proved just how much he improved. Then Max when to battle the third around but apparently his opponent was much stronger then he expected. The difference between the first two bladders and the third one was great. Max didn't expect his opponent's blade to come at him so fast; it caught him off guard and sent his blade flying. After that they founded out it was just a test, to see how strong the Bladebreakers were.
Tyson reacted in a bit of a violent way. The owner of this center, and the director of the All Stars both seem to believe, that they can win on the data and perfected blades. Tyson disagreed with that logic, saying in was twisted and wrong. Beyblading was something that can't be measured in data and through use of good blades, alone, he said. Ray also agreed, saying that, "Beyblading also depends on the strength of the blader, themselves, and their will and determination to win." Both Max and Kenny agreed with their friends.
The next shock was the biggest. It turns out that the girl Max faced, was one of the member of the All Stars, the team favored to win the American Tournament. Her name was Emily and her Bit Beast was an alligator. They could only guess that the only sport she played was tennis, seeing as her launcher was a tennis racket. Emily also turned out to be a bit of a snob but just as smart as Kenny. Tyson was ready to hurt her.
But the final and biggest shock, well at least for Max, came next. The person he thought was dead was alive.
~*~Back at the Hotel~*~
Ray, Tyson, Max, and Kenny walked into the hotel room to find, Kai sitting down reading the newspaper (which was strange seeing as he had already read it) and Hoshi had resumed her seat by the window.
"I see you found Hoshi, Kai," said Kenny.
"Hn."
"So did you have fun, guys," said Hoshi, her soft voice drifting from window.
"More or less," answered Ray.
Max was silence. He hadn't said a word since they came back. Kai noticed this and shot a questioning look at his koi, demanding an explanation. Tyson hesitate for a moment, wondering how he was going to explain it. "Well you see. When we went to the BBA center and it turned out to be the All Stars training and research center. We going to leave but we got challenge to a battle. So we battle them. I won the first round, Ray the second round and ... Max lost the third round."
Ray took over from there. "The third player, which we all underestimated, was Emily of the All Stars. She's the genius of the team and battle we just battle in were a test to see how well we blade."
Kenny picked up from there, "They believe data is the only way to win, along with the help of perfected blades. Which is why they challenged us, to collect our data. We didn't agree with their ideas but then 'she' came along."
That caught Hoshi's attention. She turned away from the window and forced her attention on her teammates. Kai motioned Kenny to continue. However the youngest member couldn't find the words to say what he wanted to say. So Ray did.
"Max's mom is alive."
~*~Flashback~*~
All Max could do was stare. "M-mom," he stuttered. The woman, who was walking by, stopped and looked. Her ocean blue eyes widen in shock.
"Max," she whispered.
Then the man next to her then asked her, "Judy you know this boy?"
Judy turned and faced her superior. "No sir. I thought it was someone else."
The man looked at Judy for a moment with a questioning look before dismissing it with a wave of his hand. He continued to walk again. Judy was about to follow, but before she did she turned and looked at Max for a brief moment. Their ocean blues eyes both met for a moment before Judy turned and left.
Ray, Tyson, and Kenny, looked at each other. Confused. Both Tyson and Kenny knew that Max's mom was supposed to be dead. So why was she here? Alive? Ray who had yet to be informed of that little detail wondering why Max called that lady mom and if so why was she working here in America. Later, on the way home, Ray found out. Max's mom was believed to have died in a car accident after the filing a divorce with her husband, Max's dad.
~*~End Of Flashback~*~
"So did you guys have fun," asked Kenny. Kai snorted at the remark as Hoshi replied coldly, "That would depend on your definition of 'fun'."
"Huh?" The reminder of the Bladebreakers looked at each other confused.
Kai answered their unasked questions. "Michael's alive and here."
"WHAT?!"
~*~Flashback~*~
"Michael," Kai spat the name out with much disgust. The said person looked but and asked again. "You know me too?"
Like his sister, Kai was lost. However before he could say anything, Hoshi whispered into his ear. "He doesn't remember anything." Kai glared at his sister. His expression was saying I-knew-that-already.
"Yeah well so then don't say anything that will jar his memories."
'Okay that made sense,' Kai thought to himself. People who have lost their memory sometimes begin to remember when around familiar faces and places.
Hoshi looked at Michael. "Um sorry about that. I thought you were someone else. Sorry for running into you. I have to go. Bye." She grabbed Kai and disappeared around the corner.
~*~End of Flashback~*~
"How he get here," asked Tyson in disbelief.
"Probably because of Dranzer," said Kai.
"So he doesn't remember a thing," asked Ray.
"None."
"That isn't good," said Kenny.
"Yes. So all of you can expect double the training starting tomorrow," said Kai. There were several thuds as Kenny and Hoshi sweatdropped in the background.
"Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii," whined Tyson. Kai looked at his lover for a second, his crimson eyes softening a bit before shaking his head. "Sorry Tyson but we're having training." Tyson pouted slightly and it took a lot of will power to keep Kai from kissing him right there to wipe the pout away. Instead he grabbed Tyson and walked out of the room and into his. Hoshi's eyebrow went up while observing this. The things her brother does. She didn't want to know actually. She let out a sigh. *Better get some rest,* she thought. Tomorrow was going to be a long day. She had a feeling it was going to be a very long one.

Like his sister, Kai was lost. However before he could say anything, Hoshi whispered into his ear. "He doesn't remember anything." Kai glared at his sister. His expression was saying I-knew-that-already.
"Yeah well so then don't say anything that will jar his memories."
'Okay that made sense,' Kai thought to himself. People who have lost their memory sometimes begin to remember when around familiar faces and places.
Hoshi looked at Michael. "Um sorry about that. I thought you were someone else. Sorry for running into you. I have to go. Bye." She grabbed Kai and disappeared around the corner.
~*~End of Flashback~*~
"How he get here," asked Tyson in disbelief.
"Probably because of Dranzer," said Kai.
"So he doesn't remember a thing," asked Ray.
"None."
"That isn't good," said Kenny.
"Yes. So all of you can expect double the training starting tomorrow," said Kai. There were several thuds as Kenny and Hoshi sweatdropped in the background.
"Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii," whined Tyson. Kai looked at his lover for a second, his crimson eyes softening a bit before shaking his head. "Sorry Tyson but we're having training." Tyson pouted slightly and it took a lot of will power to keep Kai from kissing him right there to wipe the pout away. Instead he grabbed Tyson and walked out of the room and into his. Hoshi's eyebrow went up while observing this. The things her brother does. She didn't want to know actually. She let out a sigh. *Better get some rest,* she thought. Tomorrow was going to be a long day. She had a feeling it was going to be a very long one.
