Okay, third chappie up then. Please, just read cause I'm not in a chatty mood right now. (Will probably change in a minute…)

Chapter Three: Tiger vs. Phoenix
- "THREE…TWO…ONE…LET IT RIIIIP!" Max counted them down and two blades were launched into the dish with incredible speed.
Laynie kept her eyes on her blade circling around Kai's.
- "Have you met the power of a tiger before Kai?" She asked.
Kai didn't reply and focused on the battle. "Dranzer, attack!"
- "Move aside, Drizzler. Don't let him hit you." Shouted Laynie and watched her diamond blade spin aside, passed by Dranzer with only a few inches.
- "I don't have time for your childish chase games! Dranzer, come out and finish this!" Kai's voice was determined and he was totally focused on the battle.
Laynie frowned when the red phoenix rose into the air with a mighty roar.
- "Wanna play with the yarn, Drizzler? Come on out!"
A gigantic red tiger rose from the blade and took aim at the phoenix. The two blades crashed together and flew backwards. Then they ran up against each other followed with a new crash.
~*~ Half an hour later… ~*~
- "Can someone please win soon?! I'm getting hungry." Groaned Tyson as he sat on the floor. Laynie and Kai had been battling for like ages and he started to get really bored.
But when no one responded on his cry for help he put up a stubborn face.
- "Hello? I'm starving down here!" He shouted and received an annoyed glare from Laynie.
- "No way that a battle can last this long!" Kenny was in amazement. "One of them should have stopped spinning a long time ago!"
- "Can you guys shut up!?" said Laynie. She could feel that Drizzler was getting more tired every second now and decided to put everything on a last attack.
The blades crashed with such speed and power that a smoke cloud covered the whole dish.
- "Are you ready to see the winner then?" smirked Kai and Laynie shrugged.
- "I guess I am. Are you sure that you wanna know?" She said and gave him a teasing gaze.
Kai just "hmphed" and kept his eyes on the dish where the cloud started to disappear. And when the cloud was completely gone you could see ONE blade spinning weakly.
It was Kai's. Dranzer spun around, wobbling, and Drizzler lay still on the ground.
Laynie shot a smile to Kai. "I guess that your reputation still is safe, then. You're still the Champion."
- "Did you really think that you had a chance?" said Kai and looked so superior that Laynie had to fight the impulse of beating him down.
Laynie ignored Kai and turned to Kenny.
- "So, did you record any stats?" She said and her eyes narrowed.
- "Hello? Don't forget about the poor bitbeast!" said Dizzy's metallic voice, but she was ignored.
Kenny swallowed loudly and started to stutter. "I…I…um…um…I… didn't…"
- "Cut it off." Interrupted Laynie. "It doesn't matters really."
Kenny's eyes widened in surprise. "I thought that you didn't wanted us to know about your technique and attacks?"
Laynie shrugged. "Something came to my mind. Well, DID you take any stats?"
Kenny smiled sheepishly and pages were loading on the screen.
- "You got a strong attack level, but your defense isn't bad either. I would guess that you're playing a combination style, huh?"
Laynie simply nodded and looked down on the screen.
- "Can you compare my stats with Kai's during the battle?" she asked.
- "Sure." Kenny typed a commando and a second page came up, next to Laynie's.
Now all of the Bladebreakers were gathered around the laptop.
- "Wow, didn't know that you were SO good!" exclaimed Tyson and pointed at the screen.
Laynie shrugged, but was pretty pleased with the results. According to the stats, she was almost equal with Kai and her attack had been better than expected.
[Looks like we did a good job out there.] She thought and sent a grateful thought to her bitbeast.
Laynie's thoughts were interrupted by Tyson's moaning voice.
- "Man, I'm STARVING! I need something to eat!"
- "Yeah, sure. What do you guys say?" Ray turned to the others.
- "No problems. I'm a little hungry too." Replied Max and smiled.
Kenny agreed with Max, but Laynie and Kai remained silent. Ray glanced over at Laynie.
- "Whatever." She mumbled and shrugged.
- "What about you Kai? After all, you're the leader."
Kai mumbled something and started to walk out of the room. Ray smirked.
- "I take that as okay." He said and followed Kai.
~*~ In the hotel's restaurant… ~*~
Laynie sent a disdainful gaze at Tyson but looked away quickly.
- "Does he always eat like this?" She asked the closest person, Ray.
- "Yes, you'll get used to it…" said Ray and smiled. He like Laynie more and more, now when she had opened up a bit and wasn't that cold all the time.
Laynie glanced over to Tyson again and got a disgust expression on her face.
- "Maybe, but I don't think I can eat my spring rolls after this…" said Laynie and put away her plate.
Tyson looked up from his own and glanced over to Laynie who sighed. She shoved the plate to Tyson.
- "Help yourself I guess."
Tyson lit up and started to munch on one of the spring rolls.
Laynie shook her head and rose. "I'm going back to the room. Can't stand that a second more…"
Tyson frowned. "Hef! Et ichnt hat had!" (Hey! It isn't that bad!)
- "Yes it is. Good night."
- "I think I'll join you." It was Kai.
Laynie shrugged and left the room, followed by Kai.
They went to the elevator and, lucky enough, the elevator was free.
- "Floor 7, right?" asked Laynie. Kai didn't reply so Laynie sighed and pulled the button.
- "You're not so into this talking thing are you?" She said with a slight tone of sarcasm.
Kai rolled his eyes. "Wow, nothing gets past you, huh?"
- "Just saying the oblivious." Replied Laynie and smirked.
Kai "hmphed" and started to watch the wall instead when the elevator gave up a loud noise and stopped…
Laynie frowned and pushed the button again. But nothing happened.
- "Step back." Growled Kai and tried to push the button. Nothing happened.
- "This is not happening. This is NOT happening!" mumbled Laynie and sank down on the elevators floor, leaning to the wall.
