Chapter 2
The European Tournament
Kai was seated between Ray and Max. Taking a sip from his drink, he explained that the reason he was late was because Mr.Dickenson had held him up.
"Mr. Dickenson just informed me that the European Tournament is just around the corner. He believed we should get ready for it", Kai said in his usual emotionless voice.
"We're participating?", Max blurted out in surprise. "I thought it only involved teams from European countries"
"That's true", said Kai. "But it's always been a tradition that the current world champion enter the tournament. This year England will be the host".
"Well that's awesome. I'm all ready for it", said Tyson enthusiastically.
"Well, Tyson you shouldn't be too happy yet. The tournament will consist of European's best bladders. We'll need to tone up a bit", said Kenny in a worried voice.
"So what, Kenny? So they're Europe's best bladders but we're the world best", said Tyson in an offhand voice.
They all smiled at the hyperactive boy. Even Kai cracked a small smile, though he tried to keep his expression impassive. 'Tyson acted the same way in all kinds of situation, except when he's hungry'Kai thought in silent amusement.
"So when are we leaving", asked Ray, closing his anatomy textbook.
"Next week", Kai answered, his tone unwavering. When nobody said anything, he continued, "Training will start tomorrow, seven in the morning. Don't be late!!" Kai directed a glare at Tyson as he said this.
"Huh? Seven on a Saturday morning?", Tyson exclaimed but another glare from Kai shut him up immediately. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@
Kai arrived at their training ground first, which was not far from Tyson's house. Kai was awake at about 5.30am. It was his usual routine. 'That's the way it was at the abbey'Kai thought bitterly. Then he quickly shook his head to clear his mind. He didn't want to think about those times. Just the thought of it made him sick. At the same time he felt angry with himself for being so vulnerable. He pulled out Dranzer from his pocket and stared at the shining bit chip. Recently, he felt that his bond with had gone stronger than before. Dranzer was more than just his bit beast; it was part of him. Without wasting more time he put Dranzer onto his launcher and pulled the ripcord with extra intensity. Beyblading was one of the few things he could do to take his mind off his memories.
Dranzer flew towards the ground, cutting up a few trees in the process.
"Come on Dranzer, I know you can do better than that", Kai commanded.
As though responding to Kai's command, a flaming red aura suddenly materialized and surrounded the blue blade, making it looked orange red instead. At the same time the blade's spinning rate seemed to increase. The flaming red aura was almost a personification of the raging emotion inside Kai. In fact Dranzer was spinning with such intensity that it left scorched marks on the earth. And the burning flame was burning brighter and brighter.
Suddenly Kai felt a strange, almost burning sensation inside him. He could feel the temperature around him rising steadily, as though he too was engulfed in flames. Kai was surprised; he wasn't expecting this at all. 'What's going on?'Kai thought, panicking.
"Don't worry, Kai, it's alright", a voice said gently in his head. "Our bond have gotten a lot stronger and that has made me stronger as well. It's only natural that you feel the power too; cause its both our strength."
"Dranzer", Kai gasps in shocked. Finally he couldn't stand the overwhelming heat anymore. "That's enough, Dranzer return now"
Dranzer flew back into his hand with such force that it thrown him backward. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@
"Come on Tyson, hurry up. Kai's gonna killed us if we're late", said Kenny, looking behind him to see if Tyson was catching up.
"It's not yet seven, Kenny", Tyson said, yawning. "I can't believe I'm doing this. What a waste of a Saturday morning."
Tyson and Kenny arrived at the appointed place a minute later, just as Ray and Max too. They greeted one another cheerfully.
"So Tyson you managed to wake up after all. I was worried you might not make it", said Ray with a laugh.
Tyson pouted while Dizzi said, "It took Kenny and I twenty minutes to wake him. Seriously for a moment I thought he's dead or something"
They all laugh as they searched around for Kai, knowing that he had to be here already. Just then Max found him sitting on the ground.
"What's he doing sitting there like that?", Max said in confusion.
"Dunno", said Tyson. "Hey, Kai you alright? You didn't trip or something, did you?"
Kai got himself off the ground and sent Tyson a glare. "I'm fine", he said shortly, realizing that he was covered in sweat.
"Well let's start with our training, then", said Ray. "Want to battle, Kai?
"Why not", Kai answered with a smirk.
"Come Max", called Tyson, getting ready. As usual Kenny and Dizzi got ready to observed their matches, trying to find place for improvement.
"Go Dranzer,", Kai ordered.
"Drigger, counter attack, now", Ray called to his blade. Both Dranzer and Drigger leapt into the air, crashing violently into each other in mid air. Sparks flew from both blades and sounds of metal crashing against metal could be heard.
Both Dranzer and Drigger dropped to the ground and both blades held their places, spinning relentlessly.
"Go Drigger , tiger claw", Ray cried just as Kai shouted, "Dranzer, Flame thrower".
Dranzer and Drigger immediately sped towards each other at their masters' commands. Darnzer was again engulfed by the flaming aura, as though the blue blade had suddenly burst into flames. Its bit chip glowed and a figure could just be discerned among the flames. The figure then took the shape of a glorious phoenix.
At the same time, the white blade glowed in starling green. The bit chip glowed brilliantly just as a tiger emerged from it. And at that moment, Ray felt a strange feeling inside him that he couldn't grasp. The phoenix and the tiger collided head-on, emanating an intense white light. The match ended in a draw as both blades flew back into their master's hands.
"Wow", said Ray. "Hey Kai do you get the feeling that our bit beasts getting stronger?
"Yeah", agreed Kai, staring at Dranzer's bit chip. "Definitely".
