Chapter 3: How's Everybody?

Tyson is still sleeping. Teri quietly walked up to him, "Tyson?" she whispered, "Get up." Tyson opened one eye, "Why?" "Sooner or later, Grandpa will hit you with a stick." His eyes widen, "WHAT?!" "Shush! Grandpa will hear you! I sorta promised him not to tell you, but I don't want you to get hurt. You better prepare yourself." She then took out her bamboo stick, she then slowly and quietly walked out of the room. Tyson quickly got dress and looked around, 'Good, no sign of Grandpa.'

But it was too late. Tyson's grandfather already hit him with the stick on his head. "GRANDPA!" Tyson yelled in pain, rubbing his head. Teri quickly ran up the stairs, "Tyson! Are you okay?" Grandpa shook his head, "You didn't keep your guard up, dude. We'll train tomorrow." He then left. Teri sighed, "When will he stop?" Tyson shrugged.

:: Ray's POV ::

The plane landed around 12. I looked out the window. It's good to be back at Japan, for a little vacation... hanging out with Tyson and the others. I walked out and grabbed my luggage. I was going to call the taxi, but there stood someone that was looking for me... the last person I expected.... "Kai? What are you doing here?" Kai leaned against the wall, in his regular position, "What do you think? Teri told me that you'll be here." "So, you are going to take me to their house or something?" Kai opened his eyes, "Taking you to my house, only for about 1 week. Then you'll go to Teri's house." I nodded and followed him to the limo.

:: Max's POV ::

As I clean up the shop with my dad, I came across an old photo album. I haven't looked at it for a long time. Last time I looked at it is when I'm in America, before I moved here. I opened it.... There are alot of pictures of me and my friends in America. I turned the page and saw a picture of Yayori and me. We were really close friends. I put it away and decided to get on the computer for awhile. I turned it on and here I go, checking my e-mail. Then, there's a e-mail from Mr. Dickenson....

:: Teri's POV ::

Poor Tyson.... I've been fixing his bruise on the head for quite awhile. I've living with Tyson for awhile, just because my house is under construction. That means that Ray have to live with Kai for about a week or so. I went into my room and started to pull out my luggage. I turned on my computer also. I packed my clothes while the computer start up. Then, I heard a ping. I turned around. The computer always check my e-mails first if I turned it up. Sure enough, it's from Mr. Dickenson... the e-mail I've been expecting....

:: Tyson's POV ::

Ow, my head. Teri told me not to bang my head onto anything... or try to touch it. I decide to pass the time by surfing around the web. Yeah! So, starting up the computer was too long. Finally! It's done! But then, there's a e-mail waiting for me... it's from Mr. Dickenson?! I thought we are finished with the tournament! But wait... is this the challenge that Teri told me?

:: Mariah's POV ::

Ray just left China, how I miss him. I went into his room to use the computer for awhile. I didn't expect like, a e-mail pop up, but it did. It's for Ray. I quickly e-mailed it. I try to ignore it. But it was too late... another e-mail popped up. This time, it's for... me... and the White Tigers.

:: Kai's POV ::

At last! Home. I led Ray to his room and then left to train Dranzer for awhile. But someone just have to interrupt me. How I had hate that. "Master Kai, there's a e-mail waiting for you." "Fine," I answered, "I'll check it later." "But Master Kai, it's important. It's from Mr. Dickenson." 'Mr. Dickenson?! Since when does he e-mail us?' I walked up to my room and looked at the computer... a new tournament?! Someone knocked on the door, "Kai!" yelled Ray. He opened the door, "Did you get a e-mail from Mr. Dickenson?" I nodded.
