Chapter 3: Old Friends
~*~*~*~*The next morning at Tyson's place*~*~*~*~
"Come on! Get up!! .. The bus is HERE!" Tyson was the first one to get up seeing that they were going to pick up the White Tigers from the airports, groans for the rest of the team came from under the blankets.
"Come on Tyson it's only 6:30 in the morning" Kenny complained fixing up his glasses, the rest of the team was awake and fully knew that Tyson wouldn't let them go back to sleep.
"The plane arrives at 7:15 so we gotta get there early!" Tyson protested kicking Kai slightly.
Kai snarled waking up properly and nearly tripping Tyson, with a stone cold glare Tyson backed off sweatdropping.
"Don't do that again Tyson" Kai ordered before walking off to get dressed seeing that they were all in the PJ's except Tyson that is.
Max yawned as he and Rei walked outside where Tyson and Kenny waited, Tyson was not able to stay still, "COME ON KAI!" he yelled.
"You won't get him to hurry up like that little dude" Grampa said making the rest of them jump, "Just wait.he wont be long" and with that Grampa went back to his .. whatever he was doing.
A few minutes later Kai came out of the house his arms crossed with the same expression he had on when he woke up, the expression that said 'I'm gonna kill Tyson'. "Yay! NOW LETS GO!" Tyson shouted dragging the rest of them into the bus, Kai joined moments after and with that they went off to the airport
~*~*~*~*The warehouse*~*~*~*~
'Ugh what a night' Mariam thought as she walked back to the warehouse, she actually slept on a roof watching the Bladebreakers for some reason, that was after Tala had to come and annoy her which was rather odd seeing that Mariam doesn't know him and his team.
Silently opening the warehouse door silently she entered only to find that Ozuma, Joseph and Dunga {A/N: Even though Dunga didn't really want to} where waiting for her.
"Where have you been?" Dunga asked.
"Nowhere you big oaf" she hissed back at him.
Joseph laughed at the two before walking over to his sis, "You alright? You look like you have had a rough night?" he said with a little concern in his voice.
"I'm fine really.and I don't need any of you to worry about me, all that happened is that I had a run in with this red haired blader and his team..nothing big" she replied not looking at Ozuma who seemed to have gone back to his normal self.
Joseph nodded shrugging at the other two.
"We know why you were so mad last night" Dunga spat out. Mariam's face turned red, and her fist were tightly clenched.
"YOU IDIOT!" she shouted breathing in slightly, "How do you know?"
Dunga laughed, "Well when you came back me and Joseph went off to watching the Bladebreakers, Kai came back moments after we arrived and he told his team about the whole 'encounter' you two had"
Mariam wasn't to happy, really wasn't to happy, she picked up her launcher and loaded it with Sharkcrash, "You idiot...grrr" she glared as Dunga loaded his blade as well. "Come on you guys!" Joseph tried to stop them though it wasn't working, Ozuma had his arms crossed and his eyes shut trying to think of who this red headed blader could be.
"LET IT RIP!" the two shouted and launched their blades, "Sharkcrash! Attack him!" Mariam shouted. Sharkcrash dodged an attack from Vortex Ape and then went speeding towards it,
"Ahh Vortex Ape!" Dunga shouted as Sharkcrash knocked Vortex Ape off balance and went flying into a wall. Mariam smirked as Sharkcrash bounced off a piece of metal and back into her hand.
"Don't anger me again Dunga" she said before turning around and walking to her room.
Dunga cursed silently as he retrieved his blade, "So what do you think?" he asked Joseph who shrugged.
"I dunno.I think she likes-.." the green haired boy's sentence was cut short as Ozuma opened his eyes.
"We have no time for that, I might be right when I say that these new bladers in town may be one of Zegart's puppets" he said in a matter-of- factly tone of voice, the other two nodded.
~*~*~*~*The airport*~*~*~*~
"It's 7:30 why aren't they here yet?" Mariah asked sitting on a seat waiting for her ride, the rest of the White Tigers were with her, Gary was watching the entrance, Lee was well she didn't really know what Lee was doing. As for Kevin he was sitting next to Mariah fiddling with his blade for some reason or another.
"Knowing them Tyson would have probably gotten Kai mad and Kai probably would have taken longer" Lee said walking up to beside Mariah watching the entrance as well.
"Yeah probably" Mariah said and laughed a little.
Suddenly out of the blue a bus pulled up and Gary blinked, "Hey look here they are!" Kevin said jumping up from his seat.
Running into the entrance was Tyson, with Max, Rei, Kai and Kenny following, "Heyyyyy!" Tyson shouted running up to them. Mariah smiled at the sight of Rei she stood up and waited for them to reach her and her team, once they finally did Mariah ran and gave Rei and rather big hug.
"Oh Rei I've missed you" she whispered while the others where busy talking about this and that, though Kai was lost in though once again for some reason or another.
Rei smiled hugging her back, pulling her closer to him, "I missed you to" he whispered into her ear, she smiled and hugged him tighter before they both let go and face the others.
"So where are we staying?" Kevin asked tilting his head slightly, Tyson laughed slightly shaking his head,
"YOU ALL ARE GONNA STAY WITH US!" he said happily, Lee and Kevin shook their heads while Gary grabbed his and Mariah's bags and Mariah smiled and looked up at Rei who was smiling rather widely.
Kai opened his eyes from their closed position and looked at Tyson, 'He's being a hothead as usual' he thought pushing himself off the wall he was leaning on and headed out of the airport, not aware that the others were following. Silently getting onto the bus Kai sat at the back in his spot, which he claimed seeing that he normally sits there, when from out of the blue Lee sat on the other side of the back of the bus looking out the window.
"You seem rather distant Kai" he said not looking at Kai.
"...Whatever" Kai replied not looking at Lee either.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing"
"Come on Kai, I heard from Rei that you have been rather distant" Lee said finally looking at Kai.
".." Kai closed his eyes, 'How can Rei know?' he thought listening to the sounds the rushed past him. "It's nothing" he replied to Lee with a hint of 'Drop it' in his voice. After that the trip back to Tyson's place was silent, between Kai and Lee that is
~*~*~*~*Nearby the River*~*~*~*~
"Hey why are we here again?" Joseph asked looking at Ozuma; they were all hiding in the shadows while Mariam was used as bait.
"Because I want to know who this red haired blader is" Ozuma replied, Dunga leaned against a wall and snorted, he didn't agree to come along seeing that he really wanted to get stuck into some more training.or bug Mariam.ah probably both.
Mariam cursed silently as she launched her blade, she really hated Ozuma's little plan to lure out the red haired blader and his team and using HER for bait, 'Ozuma this is the WORSE plan ever.I'm so going to make you pay' she thought watching Sharkcrash dart around rocks.
The as planned Wolbrog came and smashed into Sharkcrash nearly hitting it off balance, Mariam flinched before looking at where Ozuma, Dunga and Joseph were hiding from the corner of her eye.
Tala and his team came out all smirking, well except for Tala, "I though you learned your lesson last night" he said as Wolbrog darted towards Sharkcrash again.
Mariam gasped slightly, "SHARKCRASH!" she yelled and Sharkcrash moved out of the way just in time, 'That was close to close' she thought and sending Sharkcrash to smash into Wolbrog. Sharkcrash grinned against Wolbrog, who was grinning against the leg of the bridge. Tala didn't look to happy, then he moved his fingers in a signal like way and 3 other blades entered the battle.
"What?!" Mariam looked confused though was getting beaten as all four blades kept on crashing into her.
"Ozuma we've gotta help her!" Joseph said looking at his now injured sister who looked like she wouldn't be able to keep this up any longer. Ozuma nodded loading his launcher, "The lets do it". Dunga and Joseph both loaded their blades and pointed them towards the battle, "LET IT RIP!" and with that Flash Leopard, Vortex Ape and Vanishing Moose all enter the battle.
"What the?!" Spencer said gritting his teeth, though Tala was looking as calm as ever.
'I wont be able to keep this up much longer' Mariam though before noticing her teammates blades had entered the battle, "SHARKCRASH!" the core of her blade glowed and her bitbeast appeared. Tala, Ian, Bryan and Spencer all looked amazed as her bitbeast began {A/N: with the help of her team mates} hitting all of their blades off balance.
After retrieving their blades the Demolition Boys looked at the Saint Shields, with yet surprised faces, except Tala his was calm and emotionless which reminded Mariam of Kai.
"Looks like we underestimated you" Tala said calmly. "I'm Tala and this is Spencer, Bryan and Ian we are the Demolition Boys" he added.
Ozuma didn't look that much surprised, he smirked and shook his head, "So you aren't working for Zegart" he said looking at the four, Tala shook his head slightly.
"We don't know Zegart..we work for Boris" he answered simply.
Mariam snorted, "Still you didn't have to try and beat me just because I'm a girl" she said half glaring at the four.
"Do me a favor and tell Kai I'm back" Tala said and disappeared with his team, well actually they just walked off. Ozuma looked at Mariam who was red in the face again, "You have to go watch the Bladebreakers anyway.you might as well" Joseph said shrugging and headed off with Dunga, Ozuma soon following.
"Fine" she said stubbornly and jumped off towards Tyson's place.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- Woohoo! Chapter 3 finished, please I don't know why I've put Tala here..I think it's because that Zegart needs some new puppets..yesh I think that's it^^
Kai:...
Rei: Well ok you need to put Hilary back into the story
Me: Yeah I do to.she's coming back in the next chapter.^^
