Chapter 3
England, here we come
The training went on for the rest of the week. Finally the day that they had all been waiting for arrived.........
"Hey, wait for me. Don't leave without me, please!!," shouted Tyson as he raced into the airport, causing passers-by to stare in alarm.
"Mr. Dickenson, together with Max, Ray, Kenny and Kai watched as Tyson raced towards them with his knapsack flying behind him, a few people getting out of his way to avoid a head-on collision. The scene looked almost comical.
"Well Tyson, I suppose you overslept again", said Mr. Dickenson with a sigh.
"Sorry", said Tyson, grinning at his friends. "But I still made it anyway."
Ray, noticing that Kai was on the verge of losing his patience quickly said, "Let's go or the plane's really gonna leave without us."
"Goodbye boys. Take care and good luck", said Mr. Dickenson.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
On the plane, Kenny and Dizzi were working on finding out more information about the tournament.
"Well guys", Kenny announced. "Dizzi and I successfully dug up some information on other competing teams. None of them seemed much of a threat except...
Here Dizzi continued "Except this team; The Cosmics. They're really good. Over the past few months, they had won several tournaments around Europe. In fact they had not lost any official match at all."
"Well that's gonna change once they come up against us", said Tyson confidently. "They're just new amateurs anyway".
"Amateurs?", said Max, a frown tracing his visage. "They sound really talented to me and they just formed their team only a few months ago too".
"That's fine with me", said Tyson. "I'd welcome some real challenge or the tournament is gonna be dead boring anyway. Nothing to worry about, right Kai?"
Kai didn't even bother to respond. But inwardly he agreed with Tyson. Since becoming a world champion, he could hardly find a decent opponent to battle except with his own teammates. A bit of challenge wouldn't hurt. It'd be interesting to battle someone with real skills, not some amateurs who couldn't even launched their blades properly.
"It seems that this trip is gonna be more exciting than I thought", said Ray thoughtfully, cutting Kai out of his ruminations.
"Yeah, we can go sightseeing", said Tyson excitedly, getting the wrong point "and shopping or maybe we can...".
But here, Kai cut him off unceremoniously. "You can do that after the tournament, Tyson.

After a long, tiring flight, The Bladebreakers arrived in London. They took a shuttle to their hotel and slept deeply all through the night.
The next morning, as usual, Kai woke up at the crack of dawn. Leaving the room stealthily as to not wake his friends, he headed for a park a few blocks away from his hotel. The street was quiet, as most people wouldn't bother to wake up this early on a Saturday morning.
Beyblade dish scattered around the park. At other times of the day, many beybladers would've come here to practice their blading skills or merely wish to spectacle. But for now not a soul could be seen except for a slate haired teen. And Kai found the silence more preferable. He took Dranzer from his pocket and set it on the launcher. But just as he was about to pull the ripcord, his cell phone rang out. Having a very good idea on who was calling, he answered it.
"Doing some early practice?", a cool male voice asked rhetorically.
"Yeah", answered Kai, a slight amusement ringing in his unwavering tone "and you're interrupting. Seriously Tala, why do you always choose to call at this time of the day?"
"Because I know you'll be alone. It isn't likely that someone like Tyson would be awake now, right? And I'm sure you haven't told them about our rekindled friendship"
Kai was silent for a moment. It's not that he was trying to hide it or something it's just that he didn't see the need to tell his teammates about it. Besides he hates having to explain the whole thing; for Tyson was bound to ask hundreds of meaningless questions.
It was on the night of the final round of the world tournament that he finally remembered it. Earlier that day, when he had seen Tala battling Tyson, he had felt something stirred in his memory. Something quite different from all those dark and torturous memories. Something that he wanted to remember rather than forget.
That night, after all the celebration had ceased, he sat alone and allowed himself to reminisce his past. Then he remembered Tala's piercing blue eyes. Images of his past with him began to flash across his eyes. 'The two of them chatting happily, blading together and much more'
"It's alright", said Tala, trying to break the strained silence "I had other purposes for calling you; it's about a new team; The Cosmics".
"What about them?" Kai asked, surprised that they're worth Tala's concern.
"I'm sure you know they're competing in the European tournament, right? Well, a few weeks ago, they entered a local tournament that was held here in Russia. And they won the whole thing rather easily"
"So", said Kai "I know they're good but surely th....
"That's not it", said Tala, cutting him off. "The thing is they, well, they took all the bit beasts from all that lose to them.
"What?, but BioVolt was dis......
"No it has nothing to do with them", said Tala, once again cutting Kai off. "They seems to be doing this on their own, but I do not know the reason. There was also nothing about their sponsors or anything."
Kai was again silent, not knowing what to say. So Tala continued, "That's not the first time. They've been doing the same in all the tournaments they entered. So I don't think they'll change their ways now. You wanna watch out for them".
"Well, I'll tell the others about it. About everything. Thanks, buddy"
************************************************************************
"I don't understand. What's their purposes, surely they're not up for some dumb world domination plans?" said Max in exasperation.
"Sounds like it. Bit beasts are powerful creatures; especially to those who understand the depths of their powers" said Ray practically.
The others were silent, seemingly in lost in their own thoughts. Kai had told them everything Tala had told him, including his and Tala's friendship. He was thankful that his friends found this news insignificant compare to the new threat to their bit beasts.
"There're only scant information about them, nothing important," said Kenny. "We'll just have to act as we deem fit".

On the next chap, the bladebreakers found they've another problem while Ray was off to meet a new friend? Who's Ray meeting? Find out more on the next chap Revelations.
'Smiling broadly' There goes another meaningless chapter of the story. Sorry about updating so late. I could've finished it earlier but there was so much to do and I find this chap particularly hard to write. The next update might be quicker cause I've already finished half of chap 4. The story will takes a new height from next chap onwards and I might change the rating for language (just to be safe). Also, watch out for new characters.
My national examination result came a few days ago and I scored straight As. I was so relief. Now my mom wouldn't mind me spending tons of hours hooked up on my PC. But school term starts Jan 5 (sigh). That means waking up at the crack of dawn.
Oh I just remember; I'd like to thank:
Storm: I'm glad you like the story and I'm sorry if it sounds a bit, er cliché. I couldn't find another way to send them to England. It isn't likely Kai'd go for a vacation with them right? But it's purely my own idea.
Ruth 4 kai: Glad that you loved it. Plz continue R&R.
Please, I need more reviews. Show the sun angel some kindness in time of despair and desperation. She'd be most grateful to you.
