Kai: …
(GOMENNASAI! For the last chapter… so short… I believe some ppl commented on that, and I apologize, I didn't have much time on the computer, cuz I was all over the place (visiting relatives…etc). Hopefully, this will be better… but I don't know, cuz I can't stay on the computer long because of the power out, my family is trying to save electricity… so… lets see how it's going to go… enough of the excuses, on with the chappie!)

~*THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET US*~
By Cold tears of the Phoenix
Chapter 15: To see through eyes that sees beyond the sea and sky, deep and high.
"What time is it?" Kenny asked for the 5th time.
"10:35am, 1 minute from the last time you asked, and the tournament does start at 11:00am, Kenny. Just calm down," Ray replied while reading the newspaper that had been delivered to them in the morning.
"Where are Takara and Kai?" The hidden eyed boy asked again.
"Sleeping like little babies," Tyson answered. "Common' Ray! It doesn't take that long to read the comic area!"
""Believe it," Ray smirked evilly over the edge of the paper at the over hyper kid.
"We're going to be late for the tournament!" Kenny cried, hold his head.
"Take a chill pill. They were up all night practicing," Ray licked his thumb to flip the page.
"RAAAAYYY..." Tyson whined. "I WANNA READ GARFIELD!"
Ray looked at him pathetically. "We're in Africa. Africa has no Garfield comics in the news paper."
"BUT THEY HAVE THEM IN JAPAN!"
"Japan has to have everything that the Americans have."
"And… Where is Max?" Kenny asked again.
"Doing his Biz-nas," Dizzy spoke up for the first time.
"Great..." Kenny sighed.
Suddenly, two bodies erupted into the room. "WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!" shrieked Takara.
"How would you know?" Ray questioned. "You can't see the clock."
"Who cares!?" She continued to cry out. " We're going to be late!"
"We just have to wait till Max finishes up…" Kenny said.
Just then, the door to the washroom opened. "Urgh…" Max moaned.
"What's up with you?" Tyson asked.
"I don't feel so well…" The blond continued to moan. "I don't think I can blade today…"
Takara perked up.
"Well then, who is going to replace him?" Tyson wondered out loud.
"Ou! Ou!" Takara jumped up.
"We have to let the captain decide," Ray said.
Kai sighed and pulled out the little note pad that was given to him to write down what he has to say. Quickly scratching down some words, he handed it to Ray to read out. "Hum…" Ray read what was on it. "Kai, you have terrible hand writing. I can't read it." He smirked, quickly glancing at Takara to watch her suffer from anxiousness. "Oh! I see. 'Well, she proved to me last night that she can blade very well even with her blindness, so Takara'."
"WHOPEE!" The bluenette jumped up and hug her captain. "Thank you!!"
Kai blinked very rapidly at the action, but made no move to push the girl away. Instead, his face glowed a sudden bight red color.
"Is it Christmas here, or am I dreaming?" Tyson joked. "I mean, Max is green and Kai is red… must be my imagination… but KAI IS BLUSHING!"
"Oh?" Takara jumped away. "Sorry…"
Kai snatched the notepad away from Ray and scribbled again, then handed it back. "Kai says 'it's okay'," Ray couldn't help but grin. It was so funny! A cold-hearted person actually has a soft spot, and Takara hit it… If was funny watching him react to these situations when he never really had to deal with them ever before in his life until now. Heh.
"Well, we should be going now," said Kenny. "It takes 15 minutes to drive to the Dome. And we have less then half an hour!"
O.o***********o.O
"5 MINUTES! WE HAVE TO GET TO THE STADIUM!" (Kenny)
"Which one?" (Tyson)
"Umm… umm…" (Kenny)
"Put you're glasses on, Kenny, maybe you'll see something. Hey, does anyone see a bathroom? I think I need to go again…" (Max)
"Sorry, can't see." (Takara)
"Oh yeah… Stadium X." (Kenny)
"They have that many stadiums in here? Wow…" (Tyson)
"Where is it?" (Takara)
"… WAY AT THE OPPOSITE END OF THE BUILDING! SECOND FLOOR!" (Kenny)
"We have never been on the second floor before… do u think they have a bathroom up there?" (Max)
"I never knew there was a second floor…" (Tyson)
"Then Tyson, maybe YOU should be glasses…" (Max)
"Hey, it's just because I'm a wandering spirit! I don't really pay attention to little thing like 'second floors'." (Tyson)
"*Snicker*" (Takara)
"What's so funny Takara?" (Tyson)
"Wandering spirit, huh? *Snicker*" (Takara)
"You are confusing." (Tyson)
"So are you." (Takara)
"AHH! 3 MINUTES!" Kenny was just losing his mind.
"Excuse me," Tyson tapped a tall, teenage black girl on the shoulder. She had long braided hair down to her butt, and an arrangement of jewelry and a peacock feather cape, that almost touched the ground. "Do you know how to get to the second floor?"
"Huh?" The girl turned and flickered her emerald eyes. "May I help you? Oh… second floor… we are on our way there ourselves. Me and my team I mean." She indicated to the other two members, a black boy with orange eyes and short cut hair dyed blond at the ends, and a dark blue toga and another black girl with white hair, and red eyes. She wore a silvery outfit; the somewhat resembled the costume that Storm wore in X-Men but with a lot more skin. "We are called 'Eve of Essence'. This is Akinyemi," The boy waved, sending the Breakers a friendly smile. "And this Abrihet." The other girl winked. "I am Sekai." She laughed, a good hearty laugh. "And you are…? The Bladebreakers, I believe. Yes… Tyson, Max, Kai, Kenny and Ray…" She raised an eyebrow at Kai. The Breakers blinked. They didn't have to say a thing! Then Sekai turned to Takara. "You are new…"
"My name is Takara," Takara said.
"Takara. Beautiful name. Sounds as if you are very precious," Sekai smiled. "Well we should not be wasting any more time!" Her team took off in an unnatural, but speedy pace. They seemed to move like swift animals.
In a matter of seconds, the Breakers were at stadium X. "We are here," Kenny said.
"Oh really?" Abrihet said.
"Thank you for your help!" Takara cried.
"Your welcome," Akinyemi replied.
"We better get inside," Kenny urged.
"Bye!" both teams echoed, before the Breakers disappeared.
O.o*********o.O
"WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TODAYS MATCH!"
"Wonder who were up against?" Tyson wondered.
"I get to BATTLE!" Takara squealed.
"What is the line up?" Ray asked Kai. Kai handed him a sheet of paper. "Tyson, me and Takara. Okay…"
"OKIE DOKIES!" Takara squirmed, unable to hold back her excitement.
~Jeez… calm down kid. You look like a ball---. ~
'EWW!'
~I DIDN'T FINISH! A bouncy ball. ~
'Still don't feel better…'
~Well, at least you're not squealing anymore… it was beginning to give me a headache…~
'Poor baby…'
~WHATEVER! ~
"TODAY THE TWO TEAMS WILL BE BATTLING IN THE ULTRA NEW STADIUM X! THE FORMAT OF THIS STADIUM IS TO GIVE THE BLADER EVEN BIGGER OF A CHALLENGE THEN THE REST OF THE STADIUMS!" Just then the stadium plate opened, revealing a huge metal box with two opening on either side. "THIS STADIUM IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE BOX STADIUM! SECRETS LIE WITH IN THOSE FOUR WALLS! THE BLADERS WILL LAUNCH THEIR BLADES INTO THE BOX AND THE CAMERAS INSIDE WILL DISPLAY THE BATTLE INSIDE! NOW ON TO THE TWO TEAMS! THESE TEAMS ARE PICK AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHO THEY'RE UP AGAINST, SO IT ALWAYS A SURPRISE! FIRST THE BLADEBREAKERS!" The crowd cheered insanely. "AND THE EXTRAORDINARY 'EVE OF THE ESSENCE'!"
"What?" Tyson blinked as the other team entered.
"So we meet again!" Sekai cried. "Akinyemi lost the stadium name we were suppose to be in so we had to go back down and get it again…"
"I forgot! Is that a crime?" Akinyemi joked.
"No it isn't, my friend," Sekai smiled at her friend. "Now… we should get this battle on, shouldn't we?"
"FIRST! TYSON OF THE BLADEBREAKERS AGAINST AKINYEMI OF THE EVE OF THE ESSENCE!"
"Good luck to you!" Tyson yelled over the box.
"And to you also!" Akinyemi cried back.
"THREE-TWO-ONE! LET IT RIP!"
"GOOO DRAGOON!" Roared Tyson as he launched his blade into the unknown content of the box.
Akinyemi just smiled up at the big screen TV over his head as he saw his blade whirl on a dirty surface.
"Wow!" in the BSTV (short for big screen TV…) it showed a large plain, almost like a savanna. Over in the distance, the great orange sun descended into the grassy earth as it rippled slowly and gently... beautiful. And small deer-like animals leaped over the tall grass. Close by, there was a small pond where the animals drank. "Is this… real?" Tyson wondered.
"TAKE A LOOK FOLKS! THE FEEL IS SO REAL! BUT IT'S ALL A HOLOGRAM! OR AT LEAST THE ANIMALS ARE! EVERTHING ELSE IS PRETTY REAL!"
"Anyways… lets get this battle on!" Tyson cried. "DRAGOON! GO!"
"ATTACK!" Akinyemi bellowed.
BANG! The two blades crashed into each other, but were thrown back from the force. But that didn't stop them, soon they were all over each other.
"DRAGOON! PHANTOM HURRICANE!"
"CROUCHING LION!"
"Wow… I heard of 'crouching tiger' but lion?" Takara remarked.
Akinyemi blade backed up a bit then sprung forward, pouncing on Dragoon and disturbing the attack. And as quickly as that, the blade disappeared completely. "AWE!" Tyson began to whine.
"What's happening? What's happening?" Takara begged Ray.
"Well, Kai looks like he's having a hissy fit cause he can tell Tyson anything, and Tyson is whining," Ray replied. Then a piece of paper was shoved in his face from Kai. "'Tell Tyson to concentrate, and I'm not having a hissy fit…'" he read. Then he called out, "TYSON! CONCENTRATE!"
"I'm trying! I'm trying!" the dragon boy cried.
"You cannot just see with your eyes or heard with you're ears, talk with your voice, feel with you're skin, and taste the very air around you to win, you must use the other elements around you and only then will you succeed," said a voice. It was Akinyemi! "Only when can you truly expect a victory."
"Uh… okay dude…" Tyson blinked. He sucked air through his nose and roared. "DRAGOON! YOU CAN DO IT! ATTACK WITH YOUR OWN SPEED! GET IN THERE!" as quickly as the command came from his master's mouth, Dragoon vanished.
"Now, focus your energies, and the spirits around you will reveal themselves to you," Akinyemi continued to instruct.
"Oooookay!" Tyson closed his eyes then opened them again. When he opened them again, he saw a quick flash of two blades, one which was his own and other belonged to Akinyemi. "GET HIM DRAGOON! OVER TO YOUR RIGHT!"
BAM!
Akinyemi's blade was ejected out of on of the holes of the box.
"THERE YOU HAVE IT! TYSON IS THE WINNER OF ROUND!" The crowd screamed.
"Why did you help me?" Tyson asked as the box ejected his Beyblade.
"I thought I should help you," Akinyemi said. "I didn't think it was fair that you couldn't see my blade. Do you know what happened? You're blade ripped a fraction of time to carry out the battle in something that scientist would call 'anti-space' or faster then light."
"Kinda like the place me and Tala were sent to, to complete our battle, right?" Tyson asked.
"Sorta, but when you're blade went into anti-space, it was not another dimension, this is just within time itself," Akinyemi said. "Only selective blades with spirits have this ability."
"But you're blade doesn't have a bit-beast!" Tyson exclaimed.
"Can't judge a book by it's cover, can you?" Akinyemi smiled, then when back to his team.
"NEXTED… ROCKIN RAY AGAINST AMAZING ABRIHET!" The crowd screamed relentlessly as both Bladers approached the dish. "THE BOX IS CHANGING! THE CONTENT IN THE BOX IS ONCE AGAIN A MYSTERY!" Light shone out from the two holes on either side, nearly blinding a couple people. "BLADERS READY? THREE-TWO-ONE! LET IT RIP!"
"GO DRIGGER!" Ray cried. His amber eyes flashed quickly up at the screen where he saw what seemed to water… it was all under water! Fish of all shapes and sizes swam into the never ending blue and out again. Streams of light flickered gracefully. "It's just an illusion."
"Hah! Illusions eh?" Abrihet smiles. "Illusions are something that make you see things that aren't true, that aren't real. It is an art, really, to prefect it, as I have. So basically, this is my element. I BLEND."
Ray looked and noticed he couldn't see her blade. "What the hell?"
"Unlike my brother, Akinyemi, I don't help you along, I give you a riddle. 'To see what cannot be seen clearly through any eyes in air, but like a dancing transparent sheet in water, what am I?'" Abrihet smiled. "ATTACK!" (A/n: T_T I can't write riddles so shoot me… [Kai: Pow!])
BANG! Drigger was smashed by some invisible force from his right. "I HATE RIDDLES!" Ray cried in frustration, and pulled on the long locks of black hair that draped on either side of his face. (A/n: I hate them too…)
" 'To see what cannot be seen clearly through any eyes in the air'," Takara mused. "Damn… too bad I can't see… Humm… and illusion… and illusion within an illusion… blah… where is that little light inside my head that gives me ideas?" she paused. "Light… LIGHT! Light can be an illusion, and when you look at it through water… Ray! IT'S LIGHT!"
"Light?" The Chinese blader said. He watched the little rivers of light in the BSTV. "Of course! DRIGGER! ATTACK ALL THE LIGHT…umm… THINGIES!" Knowing what his master meant, Drigger raced around into every little light strand. And finally! BOOM! He hit something. It shimmered a bit, then if formed into a Beyblade. "DRIGGER! TIGER CLAW!"
"You'll have to do better then that! AURORA!" Abrihet cried. The whole screen turned white, blinding everything from sight.
BAM! Drigger was ejected from the box.
"ABRIHET JUST TOOK ROUND TWO!"
"Awe…" Ray sulked off, back to the rest of the team.
"It's okay, Ray-man..." Tyson said, patting the Chinese blader on the back. "I won't have beaten her either..."
Kai on the other hand shoved a piece of paper in Ray's face. "Ummm..." Ray scanned the piece of paper. "'That sucked... you are capable of better... yada, yada... Takara you're up. You better beat Sekai or else. Love Kai." Ray added at the end, smirking at the gone-white captain, and the blushing girl.
"Yeah... err... I'll beat her... don't worry," Takara stuttered, trying to whip the red off her cheeks as she tried to make her way up to the . 'Drassess... tell me where I'm walking...'
~Just go straight... now there are 2 steps... okay... good. There you are...~
"THE BOX IS CHANGING!!!" A blinding light shot through both holes of the box. "NOW TAKARA AGAINST SEKAI, LEADER OF THE 'EVE OF THE ESSENCE'! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME TAKARA HAS EVER APPEARED IN ANY TOURNAMENT! LET'S SEE IF SHE'S ANY MATCH FOR SEKAI!"
"Here goes nothing..." Takara muttered as Drassess instructed her to adjust the position of the launcher's direction.
~OKAY! Hold it... right there... good, good...~ Drassess said.
'I am extremely nervous...'
~uh... why? You can't see the millions of eyes that rest on you at the moment...~
'You're not helping... just that... 'You better beat Sekai or else...'' Takara repeated what Kai had written in her head.
~Jeez, kid... just relax. Oh, and just remember... he's you're biggest fan. ^-^~
'DRASSESS! *blush blush*'
~AH HAHAHAHA!!... Couldn't help it... sorry...~
"BLADERS READY? THREE-TWO-ONE! LET IT RIP!"
Both Bladers launched their blades.
'Did I get it?' Takara asked? 'What it like inside?'
~Yeah... you made it... it's like a maze inside...~
'A maze?'
~Are you deaf too? Or are you just blind? I said it looks like a maze, and if you heard correctly, that's what you should have heard.~
'Yeah, yeah...'
"BOTH BLADES MUST MAKE IT THROUGH THE MAZE INTO THE CENTER OF IT ALL WHERE THEY WILL BATTLE IT OUT TO DECLARE THE WINNER!"
'Ooookay...'
~Well, leave the maze to me... I used to go through the on in Cho's Garden all the time... and that one was like 10 acres of land... a box is no different.~
'Yeah, yeah... just go already.'
Over on the bench...
"WHY COULDN'T I GET THE MAZE ONE?" Tyson exclaimed. "I LOVE MAZES! AND SHE'S BLIND! HOW IS SHE GOING TO MAKE IT OUT OF THIS ONE?" Kai punched Tyson. "Ouch! What was that for? Oh yeah... defending your girlfriend..." He started making kissing sounds that got Kai really pissed off.
"What makes you think Kai and Takara are boyfriend and girlfriend Tyson?" Ray asked.
"Well look at them! They look so cute together!" Tyson batted his eyes at Kai, who was practically breathing fire.
"Well, maybe they're looking out for each other, cuz they both have temporary disabilities. I'm sure you and Max would have done the same too." Ray smirked evilly. Tyson turned a very white.
"Ye-yeah... okay... I see! ^-^U... sorry Kai!" The Dragon Blader stuttered.
Ray leaned over to Kai. "I know to much," he whispered. "And you know what they say, 'the more you know, the short you live, but life is a lot sweeter'." Kai blinked.
Back to the battle...
~A HA! Made it! ... DAMN! She got here ahead of me...~
"See you finally made it here," Sekai said. "Well, let's not waste any more time... ATTACK!"
~WHOA! Haha... missed me sucker... BAM! ~DMAN YOU! T_T... that hurt! ~
"DRASSESS!" Takara cried.
~Do something Takara! ~
"Umm... umm..." Takara searched her mind, in search of a possible good solution to help her bit beast in need. Then it came, like a whisper, but sweet and calm. A melody that sent Takara new hope of victory. But it came so fast and so much unsuspected; Takara almost lost the tiny words that floated through her head.
/'Crystal Dragon Moonlit...'/
The words were meaningless, but so powerful. Takara felt an ancient power seep into her, lifting her above the troubles that surrounded her. It was like the end of an old, and beginning of a new, Takara felt as if she was just introduced into the world. Smells of the salty sweat that dotted her forehead, sounds from the roaring crowd... it fill her with new life, like she had never had a real life before. (A/n: descriptive paragraphs... practice for school!)
"CRYSTAL DRAGON MOONLIT!" Takara shouted. It was felt like a scream as if left Takara's mouth, but sounded so pure and powerful, it flooded out the tearing sounds of the crowd, making everything seeming to be quiet.
On the BTS, which Takara could not see, Drassess erupted from the blade with a rainbow of sparks, and roared more like the furious dragon, then her usual, the proud screech of a phoenix. Flaring her brilliant glowing gold and silver wings, spreading the precious feathers like southing rain over the small area inside the box, Drassess's mouth began to fill with beams of light, brighter and brighter, until Drassess couldn't hold the light in her mouth any more. It blazed like white fire from the dragon/phoenix's mouth, but ran like the ever flowing river to reach Sekai's blade.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The contents inside the metal box exploded, spilling dust out of the holes on either side. The BTS was cloudy, opaque grey color. Very slowly were the details inside of the box revealed.
Pop! The box ejected Sekai's blade.
"AND THE WINNER IS TAKARA!"
Takara gasped, putting her hand to her mouth. 'WE DID IT!' she cried in relief, to Drassess.
~Yeah... just barely... uhrg...~
'Drassess...?'
~Kid... this ain't good...~
Pop! The box ejected Takara's blade. She instantly picked it up, and to her horror, the attack ring fell apart in her hands. 'NO! Drassess!'
~It's okay, kid... I'm just... weak... wasted a lot of energy using that new attack. I'm fine... don't worry. Jeez... ~
"What's wrong?" Ray asked, as the rest of the team went up to Takara.
"Drassess..." She held out the contents.
"AHH!" Kenny jumped up. "The attack ring cracked with the power of that attack! Hum... while I'm fixing it, I can upgrade it too, if you want."
"Sure... just... fix it..." Takara said. She started to walk away, but nearly fell off the platform. But, Sekai grabbed her.
"You okay?" she asked.
"Yeah... except my attack ring was busted," Takara replied heavily.
"Attack rings are replaceable…" Sekai smiled.
"Yeah… I guess," Takara sighed. "But what I'm really worried about is my Bit-Beast."
"Really? Is that so? You have an amazing bit beast, as well as an amazing talent," Sekai smiled mysteriously. "Well, bye, we have to go and meet up with my mother. She is working as a bodyguard and I'm staying at the hotel that the people that she's watching over is staying at so she can keep and eye on me."
"Your mom is a bodyguard?" Tyson asked, amazed.
"Yes, she is," Sekai waved. "Bye for now! I have a feeling we will meet again soon!"
"Bye!" The Breakers echoed.
"Don't you think we should be going to our hotel too?" Kenny asked.
"Yeah, Mr. D will probably want us to," Ray agreed. So all together, they made their way back to the hotel.
O.o*************o.O
"So… what do we have to eat?" Tyson asked eagerly.
Max shuffled through some crates. "Lets see… it looks like we only have those instant noodles left…"
"Fine with me!" Tyson wait. He took 5 little containers, put water in them and shoved them in the microwave.
"I hope your cooking for all of us!" Takara cried, when she heard the hum of the microwave.
Kai shook his head. 'I won't eat anything Tyson cooked, even if my life depended on it…' he thought.
"Yeah, right," Tyson said, voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Okay then… COULD SOMEONE MAKE ME SOME NOODLES?" Takara cried, then added. "PLEASE?"
"Okay, okay," said Ray, getting up from the couch he was sitting on. "I'll make some noodles for you, me and Kai, since I know he won't eat them if Tyson made them." Kai nodded.
"Curry flavor please!" Takara added.
"Yeah, yeah… I'll have oriental, and you Kai?" Kai handed Ray a sheet of paper. "Curry too? Jeez, you guys must like hot stuff or something… or you want it cuz it's the only flavor Tyson won't touch?"
"Eh… I like the flavor," Takara said, shifting to a more comfortable position.
"Okay…" Ray said.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"I'll get it!" Kenny ran over to the door. When he opened it, there stood Abeba.
"Hey guys," She said. "What's up?" She wore a heavy black jacket that was buttoned all the way up.
"How are you Abeba? Haven't hear much from you lately!" Kenny welcomed. "We're just making dinner, do you wanna join us? We're having instant noodles."
"No thanks, I just ate," Abeba smiled. She stepped through the door and closed it behind her. "Well, congrats on your victory today, beating the 'Eve of the Essence' group. You know, they are one of the strongest Beyblade teams in all of Africa."
"You saw it?" Max asked.
"Yeah, of course," Abeba smiled mischievously. "I wouldn't miss it for the world. In fact, I haven't missed one of my daughter's matches."
The Breakers froze in there spots. "Yo-you are Sekai's mother?" Takara said amazed. "You are here as our bodyguard, aren't you?"
"Yup," Abeba smiled. "To serve and protect."
"Wowsa," Tyson comment, noodles dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"That must be Sekai now," Abeba cried, and fetched the door. "Ah! Sekai! There you are! I was wondering when you would show up."
"Yeah, well I'm here now," Sekai came through the door. Instead of her bizarre costume that she wore earlier in the day, Sekai wore normal clothing, a navy blue t-shirt and jean shorts. Her hair was still the same tho. "Hello there! How are you all doing?"
"Good," The Breakers cried.
"And the your blade?" She asked Takara.
"Kenny's fixing it right now," Takara smiled.
"That's good," Sekai nodded. "Hey! What's that smell!?"
"Curry noodles," Ray answered from the kitchen.
"Really?! Wow! I love curry!" Sekai's emerald eyes lit up like a light bulb.
"Well there is plenty to go around, it's the only food Tyson won't touch!" Ray said. "You want me to make you a cup too?"
"Please!"
O.o*************o.O
Later, after everyone was finished eating, they chatted a bit, and laughed at Tyson when he attempted to eat noodles through his nose. Yeah… everything was great…
"Hey momma, can Takara come to my room with me?" Sekai asked.
"What? Oh, you'll have to asked Mr. Dickenson to see if it's okay," Abeba answer. "I'll call him on his cell." She went over to the telephone and punched in a few numbers and waited. "Oh, hi Mr. Dickenson. How are you? I'm fine… yeah the kids are fine too. Sekai just wanted to know if Takara could come to her room with her… yeah… okay… okay… all right. Thanks. Bye!" Abeba hung up. "Well, you can, but you'll have to watch out for Takara, she can't see cuz the Senses got to her. And you'll have to bring her back at 10:00pm. Okay?"
"Alright!" Sekai grabbed Takara's arm. "This way! It's only a few rooms away…" She led Takara out of the room, down the hall, where they stopped at Sekai's room. Into the room they went. "The Senses got you?" Sekai said after she shut the door. "Poor you! That's terrible! They've been after me for quiet some time now." She led Takara to the bed and made her sit down.
"You know about the Senses?" Takara asked.
"Yeah, who doesn't? They've almost got half the blading population in Zambia, and in a few other places too," Sekai said.
"Really?" Takara said, amazed.
"Yeah, they are the most feared team in all of Africa. No one will try and stop them because they don't want to loose any of their senses. If only someone defeated them, then everyone who lost to them would regain their sense!" Sekai cried.
"Really?"
"Yeah…"
"So why did you want me to come to you're room?" Takara asked.
"Well,
You have special powers,
You do.
You can talk to you're bit-beat.
I know," Sekai sung.
"Err... what's with the rhyme?" Takara asked. "Wait a sec… how do you know?"
"I see farther then the eye,
Farther then the sea and sky,
Father then the deep and high,
A sense that they want to take,
And I won't left them have."
(A/n: I suck at rhymes…)
"Great that you can see… hey wait! You said the senses are after you right? You have a 6 th sense!" Takara cried.
"Yup," Sekai smirked. "I have the ability to see thing no one else can, to look inside of peoples hearts, and beyond. I saw that you are very special, Takara. You have the spirit of Cho imbedded in you, no?"
"Yes… I'm suppose to have her inside of me. And BioVolt wants me because of Cho," Takara said.
"It is true, Cho lives in you. She watches you also. She told you one of you're bit-beast hidden attacks," Sekai continued. "In fact, when I looked into you, she saw me and asked me to show you who she is. So that I will do."
"How?"
"We take a walk down memory lane…" Sekai said, reaching over and pressed to fingers on Takara's forehead. "…deep within your soul…"
O.o***o.O*** O.o***o.O*** O.o***o.O*** O.o***o.O*** O.o***o.O*** O.o***o.O*** O.o***o.O***

Kai: …
(GOMENNASAI! For the last chapter… so short… I believe some ppl commented on that, and I apologize, I didn't have much time on the computer, cuz I was all over the place (visiting relatives…etc). Hopefully, this will be better… but I don't know, cuz I can't stay on the computer long because of the power out, my family is trying to save electricity… so… lets see how it's going to go… enough of the excuses, on with the chappie!)

~*THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET US*~
By Cold tears of the Phoenix
Chapter 15: To see through eyes that sees beyond the sea and sky, deep and high.
"What time is it?" Kenny asked for the 5th time.
"10:35am, 1 minute from the last time you asked, and the tournament does start at 11:00am, Kenny. Just calm down," Ray replied while reading the newspaper that had been delivered to them in the morning.
"Where are Takara and Kai?" The hidden eyed boy asked again.
"Sleeping like little babies," Tyson answered. "Common' Ray! It doesn't take that long to read the comic area!"
""Believe it," Ray smirked evilly over the edge of the paper at the over hyper kid.
"We're going to be late for the tournament!" Kenny cried, hold his head.
"Take a chill pill. They were up all night practicing," Ray licked his thumb to flip the page.
"RAAAAYYY..." Tyson whined. "I WANNA READ GARFIELD!"
Ray looked at him pathetically. "We're in Africa. Africa has no Garfield comics in the news paper."
"BUT THEY HAVE THEM IN JAPAN!"
"Japan has to have everything that the Americans have."
"And… Where is Max?" Kenny asked again.
"Doing his Biz-nas," Dizzy spoke up for the first time.
"Great..." Kenny sighed.
Suddenly, two bodies erupted into the room. "WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!" shrieked Takara.
"How would you know?" Ray questioned. "You can't see the clock."
"Who cares!?" She continued to cry out. " We're going to be late!"
"We just have to wait till Max finishes up…" Kenny said.
Just then, the door to the washroom opened. "Urgh…" Max moaned.
"What's up with you?" Tyson asked.
"I don't feel so well…" The blond continued to moan. "I don't think I can blade today…"
Takara perked up.
"Well then, who is going to replace him?" Tyson wondered out loud.
"Ou! Ou!" Takara jumped up.
"We have to let the captain decide," Ray said.
Kai sighed and pulled out the little note pad that was given to him to write down what he has to say. Quickly scratching down some words, he handed it to Ray to read out. "Hum…" Ray read what was on it. "Kai, you have terrible hand writing. I can't read it." He smirked, quickly glancing at Takara to watch her suffer from anxiousness. "Oh! I see. 'Well, she proved to me last night that she can blade very well even with her blindness, so Takara'."
"WHOPEE!" The bluenette jumped up and hug her captain. "Thank you!!"
Kai blinked very rapidly at the action, but made no move to push the girl away. Instead, his face glowed a sudden bight red color.
"Is it Christmas here, or am I dreaming?" Tyson joked. "I mean, Max is green and Kai is red… must be my imagination… but KAI IS BLUSHING!"
"Oh?" Takara jumped away. "Sorry…"
Kai snatched the notepad away from Ray and scribbled again, then handed it back. "Kai says 'it's okay'," Ray couldn't help but grin. It was so funny! A cold-hearted person actually has a soft spot, and Takara hit it… If was funny watching him react to these situations when he never really had to deal with them ever before in his life until now. Heh.
"Well, we should be going now," said Kenny. "It takes 15 minutes to drive to the Dome. And we have less then half an hour!"
O.o***********o.O
"5 MINUTES! WE HAVE TO GET TO THE STADIUM!" (Kenny)
"Which one?" (Tyson)
"Umm… umm…" (Kenny)
"Put you're glasses on, Kenny, maybe you'll see something. Hey, does anyone see a bathroom? I think I need to go again…" (Max)
"Sorry, can't see." (Takara)
"Oh yeah… Stadium X." (Kenny)
"They have that many stadiums in here? Wow…" (Tyson)
"Where is it?" (Takara)
"… WAY AT THE OPPOSITE END OF THE BUILDING! SECOND FLOOR!" (Kenny)
"We have never been on the second floor before… do u think they have a bathroom up there?" (Max)
"I never knew there was a second floor…" (Tyson)
"Then Tyson, maybe YOU should be glasses…" (Max)
"Hey, it's just because I'm a wandering spirit! I don't really pay attention to little thing like 'second floors'." (Tyson)
"*Snicker*" (Takara)
"What's so funny Takara?" (Tyson)
"Wandering spirit, huh? *Snicker*" (Takara)
"You are confusing." (Tyson)
"So are you." (Takara)
"AHH! 3 MINUTES!" Kenny was just losing his mind.
"Excuse me," Tyson tapped a tall, teenage black girl on the shoulder. She had long braided hair down to her butt, and an arrangement of jewelry and a peacock feather cape, that almost touched the ground. "Do you know how to get to the second floor?"
"Huh?" The girl turned and flickered her emerald eyes. "May I help you? Oh… second floor… we are on our way there ourselves. Me and my team I mean." She indicated to the other two members, a black boy with orange eyes and short cut hair dyed blond at the ends, and a dark blue toga and another black girl with white hair, and red eyes. She wore a silvery outfit; the somewhat resembled the costume that Storm wore in X-Men but with a lot more skin. "We are called 'Eve of Essence'. This is Akinyemi," The boy waved, sending the Breakers a friendly smile. "And this Abrihet." The other girl winked. "I am Sekai." She laughed, a good hearty laugh. "And you are…? The Bladebreakers, I believe. Yes… Tyson, Max, Kai, Kenny and Ray…" She raised an eyebrow at Kai. The Breakers blinked. They didn't have to say a thing! Then Sekai turned to Takara. "You are new…"
"My name is Takara," Takara said.
"Takara. Beautiful name. Sounds as if you are very precious," Sekai smiled. "Well we should not be wasting any more time!" Her team took off in an unnatural, but speedy pace. They seemed to move like swift animals.
In a matter of seconds, the Breakers were at stadium X. "We are here," Kenny said.
"Oh really?" Abrihet said.
"Thank you for your help!" Takara cried.
"Your welcome," Akinyemi replied.
"We better get inside," Kenny urged.
"Bye!" both teams echoed, before the Breakers disappeared.
O.o*********o.O
"WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TODAYS MATCH!"
"Wonder who were up against?" Tyson wondered.
"I get to BATTLE!" Takara squealed.
"What is the line up?" Ray asked Kai. Kai handed him a sheet of paper. "Tyson, me and Takara. Okay…"
"OKIE DOKIES!" Takara squirmed, unable to hold back her excitement.
~Jeez… calm down kid. You look like a ball---. ~
'EWW!'
~I DIDN'T FINISH! A bouncy ball. ~
'Still don't feel better…'
~Well, at least you're not squealing anymore… it was beginning to give me a headache…~
'Poor baby…'
~WHATEVER! ~
"TODAY THE TWO TEAMS WILL BE BATTLING IN THE ULTRA NEW STADIUM X! THE FORMAT OF THIS STADIUM IS TO GIVE THE BLADER EVEN BIGGER OF A CHALLENGE THEN THE REST OF THE STADIUMS!" Just then the stadium plate opened, revealing a huge metal box with two opening on either side. "THIS STADIUM IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE BOX STADIUM! SECRETS LIE WITH IN THOSE FOUR WALLS! THE BLADERS WILL LAUNCH THEIR BLADES INTO THE BOX AND THE CAMERAS INSIDE WILL DISPLAY THE BATTLE INSIDE! NOW ON TO THE TWO TEAMS! THESE TEAMS ARE PICK AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHO THEY'RE UP AGAINST, SO IT ALWAYS A SURPRISE! FIRST THE BLADEBREAKERS!" The crowd cheered insanely. "AND THE EXTRAORDINARY 'EVE OF THE ESSENCE'!"
"What?" Tyson blinked as the other team entered.
"So we meet again!" Sekai cried. "Akinyemi lost the stadium name we were suppose to be in so we had to go back down and get it again…"
"I forgot! Is that a crime?" Akinyemi joked.
"No it isn't, my friend," Sekai smiled at her friend. "Now… we should get this battle on, shouldn't we?"
"FIRST! TYSON OF THE BLADEBREAKERS AGAINST AKINYEMI OF THE EVE OF THE ESSENCE!"
"Good luck to you!" Tyson yelled over the box.
"And to you also!" Akinyemi cried back.
"THREE-TWO-ONE! LET IT RIP!"
"GOOO DRAGOON!" Roared Tyson as he launched his blade into the unknown content of the box.
Akinyemi just smiled up at the big screen TV over his head as he saw his blade whirl on a dirty surface.
"Wow!" in the BSTV (short for big screen TV…) it showed a large plain, almost like a savanna. Over in the distance, the great orange sun descended into the grassy earth as it rippled slowly and gently... beautiful. And small deer-like animals leaped over the tall grass. Close by, there was a small pond where the animals drank. "Is this… real?" Tyson wondered.
"TAKE A LOOK FOLKS! THE FEEL IS SO REAL! BUT IT'S ALL A HOLOGRAM! OR AT LEAST THE ANIMALS ARE! EVERTHING ELSE IS PRETTY REAL!"
"Anyways… lets get this battle on!" Tyson cried. "DRAGOON! GO!"
"ATTACK!" Akinyemi bellowed.
BANG! The two blades crashed into each other, but were thrown back from the force. But that didn't stop them, soon they were all over each other.
"DRAGOON! PHANTOM HURRICANE!"
"CROUCHING LION!"
"Wow… I heard of 'crouching tiger' but lion?" Takara remarked.
Akinyemi blade backed up a bit then sprung forward, pouncing on Dragoon and disturbing the attack. And as quickly as that, the blade disappeared completely. "AWE!" Tyson began to whine.
"What's happening? What's happening?" Takara begged Ray.
"Well, Kai looks like he's having a hissy fit cause he can tell Tyson anything, and Tyson is whining," Ray replied. Then a piece of paper was shoved in his face from Kai. "'Tell Tyson to concentrate, and I'm not having a hissy fit…'" he read. Then he called out, "TYSON! CONCENTRATE!"
"I'm trying! I'm trying!" the dragon boy cried.
"You cannot just see with your eyes or heard with you're ears, talk with your voice, feel with you're skin, and taste the very air around you to win, you must use the other elements around you and only then will you succeed," said a voice. It was Akinyemi! "Only when can you truly expect a victory."
"Uh… okay dude…" Tyson blinked. He sucked air through his nose and roared. "DRAGOON! YOU CAN DO IT! ATTACK WITH YOUR OWN SPEED! GET IN THERE!" as quickly as the command came from his master's mouth, Dragoon vanished.
"Now, focus your energies, and the spirits around you will reveal themselves to you," Akinyemi continued to instruct.
"Oooookay!" Tyson closed his eyes then opened them again. When he opened them again, he saw a quick flash of two blades, one which was his own and other belonged to Akinyemi. "GET HIM DRAGOON! OVER TO YOUR RIGHT!"
BAM!
Akinyemi's blade was ejected out of on of the holes of the box.
"THERE YOU HAVE IT! TYSON IS THE WINNER OF ROUND!" The crowd screamed.
"Why did you help me?" Tyson asked as the box ejected his Beyblade.
"I thought I should help you," Akinyemi said. "I didn't think it was fair that you couldn't see my blade. Do you know what happened? You're blade ripped a fraction of time to carry out the battle in something that scientist would call 'anti-space' or faster then light."
"Kinda like the place me and Tala were sent to, to complete our battle, right?" Tyson asked.
"Sorta, but when you're blade went into anti-space, it was not another dimension, this is just within time itself," Akinyemi said. "Only selective blades with spirits have this ability."
"But you're blade doesn't have a bit-beast!" Tyson exclaimed.
"Can't judge a book by it's cover, can you?" Akinyemi smiled, then when back to his team.
"NEXTED… ROCKIN RAY AGAINST AMAZING ABRIHET!" The crowd screamed relentlessly as both Bladers approached the dish. "THE BOX IS CHANGING! THE CONTENT IN THE BOX IS ONCE AGAIN A MYSTERY!" Light shone out from the two holes on either side, nearly blinding a couple people. "BLADERS READY? THREE-TWO-ONE! LET IT RIP!"
"GO DRIGGER!" Ray cried. His amber eyes flashed quickly up at the screen where he saw what seemed to water… it was all under water! Fish of all shapes and sizes swam into the never ending blue and out again. Streams of light flickered gracefully. "It's just an illusion."
"Hah! Illusions eh?" Abrihet smiles. "Illusions are something that make you see things that aren't true, that aren't real. It is an art, really, to prefect it, as I have. So basically, this is my element. I BLEND."
Ray looked and noticed he couldn't see her blade. "What the hell?"
"Unlike my brother, Akinyemi, I don't help you along, I give you a riddle. 'To see what cannot be seen clearly through any eyes in air, but like a dancing transparent sheet in water, what am I?'" Abrihet smiled. "ATTACK!" (A/n: T_T I can't write riddles so shoot me… [Kai: Pow!])
BANG! Drigger was smashed by some invisible force from his right. "I HATE RIDDLES!" Ray cried in frustration, and pulled on the long locks of black hair that draped on either side of his face. (A/n: I hate them too…)
" 'To see what cannot be seen clearly through any eyes in the air'," Takara mused. "Damn… too bad I can't see… Humm… and illusion… and illusion within an illusion… blah… where is that little light inside my head that gives me ideas?" she paused. "Light… LIGHT! Light can be an illusion, and when you look at it through water… Ray! IT'S LIGHT!"
"Light?" The Chinese blader said. He watched the little rivers of light in the BSTV. "Of course! DRIGGER! ATTACK ALL THE LIGHT…umm… THINGIES!" Knowing what his master meant, Drigger raced around into every little light strand. And finally! BOOM! He hit something. It shimmered a bit, then if formed into a Beyblade. "DRIGGER! TIGER CLAW!"
"You'll have to do better then that! AURORA!" Abrihet cried. The whole screen turned white, blinding everything from sight.
BAM! Drigger was ejected from the box.
"ABRIHET JUST TOOK ROUND TWO!"
"Awe…" Ray sulked off, back to the rest of the team.
"It's okay, Ray-man..." Tyson said, patting the Chinese blader on the back. "I won't have beaten her either..."
Kai on the other hand shoved a piece of paper in Ray's face. "Ummm..." Ray scanned the piece of paper. "'That sucked... you are capable of better... yada, yada... Takara you're up. You better beat Sekai or else. Love Kai." Ray added at the end, smirking at the gone-white captain, and the blushing girl.
"Yeah... err... I'll beat her... don't worry," Takara stuttered, trying to whip the red off her cheeks as she tried to make her way up to the . 'Drassess... tell me where I'm walking...'
~Just go straight... now there are 2 steps... okay... good. There you are...~
"THE BOX IS CHANGING!!!" A blinding light shot through both holes of the box. "NOW TAKARA AGAINST SEKAI, LEADER OF THE 'EVE OF THE ESSENCE'! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME TAKARA HAS EVER APPEARED IN ANY TOURNAMENT! LET'S SEE IF SHE'S ANY MATCH FOR SEKAI!"
"Here goes nothing..." Takara muttered as Drassess instructed her to adjust the position of the launcher's direction.
~OKAY! Hold it... right there... good, good...~ Drassess said.
'I am extremely nervous...'
~uh... why? You can't see the millions of eyes that rest on you at the moment...~
'You're not helping... just that... 'You better beat Sekai or else...'' Takara repeated what Kai had written in her head.
~Jeez, kid... just relax. Oh, and just remember... he's you're biggest fan. ^-^~
'DRASSESS! *blush blush*'
~AH HAHAHAHA!!... Couldn't help it... sorry...~
"BLADERS READY? THREE-TWO-ONE! LET IT RIP!"
Both Bladers launched their blades.
'Did I get it?' Takara asked? 'What it like inside?'
~Yeah... you made it... it's like a maze inside...~
'A maze?'
~Are you deaf too? Or are you just blind? I said it looks like a maze, and if you heard correctly, that's what you should have heard.~
'Yeah, yeah...'
"BOTH BLADES MUST MAKE IT THROUGH THE MAZE INTO THE CENTER OF IT ALL WHERE THEY WILL BATTLE IT OUT TO DECLARE THE WINNER!"
'Ooookay...'
~Well, leave the maze to me... I used to go through the on in Cho's Garden all the time... and that one was like 10 acres of land... a box is no different.~
'Yeah, yeah... just go already.'
Over on the bench...
"WHY COULDN'T I GET THE MAZE ONE?" Tyson exclaimed. "I LOVE MAZES! AND SHE'S BLIND! HOW IS SHE GOING TO MAKE IT OUT OF THIS ONE?" Kai punched Tyson. "Ouch! What was that for? Oh yeah... defending your girlfriend..." He started making kissing sounds that got Kai really pissed off.
"What makes you think Kai and Takara are boyfriend and girlfriend Tyson?" Ray asked.
"Well look at them! They look so cute together!" Tyson batted his eyes at Kai, who was practically breathing fire.
"Well, maybe they're looking out for each other, cuz they both have temporary disabilities. I'm sure you and Max would have done the same too." Ray smirked evilly. Tyson turned a very white.
"Ye-yeah... okay... I see! ^-^U... sorry Kai!" The Dragon Blader stuttered.
Ray leaned over to Kai. "I know to much," he whispered. "And you know what they say, 'the more you know, the short you live, but life is a lot sweeter'." Kai blinked.
Back to the battle...
~A HA! Made it! ... DAMN! She got here ahead of me...~
"See you finally made it here," Sekai said. "Well, let's not waste any more time... ATTACK!"
~WHOA! Haha... missed me sucker... BAM! ~DMAN YOU! T_T... that hurt! ~
"DRASSESS!" Takara cried.
~Do something Takara! ~
"Umm... umm..." Takara searched her mind, in search of a possible good solution to help her bit beast in need. Then it came, like a whisper, but sweet and calm. A melody that sent Takara new hope of victory. But it came so fast and so much unsuspected; Takara almost lost the tiny words that floated through her head.
/'Crystal Dragon Moonlit...'/
The words were meaningless, but so powerful. Takara felt an ancient power seep into her, lifting her above the troubles that surrounded her. It was like the end of an old, and beginning of a new, Takara felt as if she was just introduced into the world. Smells of the salty sweat that dotted her forehead, sounds from the roaring crowd... it fill her with new life, like she had never had a real life before. (A/n: descriptive paragraphs... practice for school!)
"CRYSTAL DRAGON MOONLIT!" Takara shouted. It was felt like a scream as if left Takara's mouth, but sounded so pure and powerful, it flooded out the tearing sounds of the crowd, making everything seeming to be quiet.
On the BTS, which Takara could not see, Drassess erupted from the blade with a rainbow of sparks, and roared more like the furious dragon, then her usual, the proud screech of a phoenix. Flaring her brilliant glowing gold and silver wings, spreading the precious feathers like southing rain over the small area inside the box, Drassess's mouth began to fill with beams of light, brighter and brighter, until Drassess couldn't hold the light in her mouth any more. It blazed like white fire from the dragon/phoenix's mouth, but ran like the ever flowing river to reach Sekai's blade.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The contents inside the metal box exploded, spilling dust out of the holes on either side. The BTS was cloudy, opaque grey color. Very slowly were the details inside of the box revealed.
Pop! The box ejected Sekai's blade.
"AND THE WINNER IS TAKARA!"
Takara gasped, putting her hand to her mouth. 'WE DID IT!' she cried in relief, to Drassess.
~Yeah... just barely... uhrg...~
'Drassess...?'
~Kid... this ain't good...~
Pop! The box ejected Takara's blade. She instantly picked it up, and to her horror, the attack ring fell apart in her hands. 'NO! Drassess!'
~It's okay, kid... I'm just... weak... wasted a lot of energy using that new attack. I'm fine... don't worry. Jeez... ~
"What's wrong?" Ray asked, as the rest of the team went up to Takara.
"Drassess..." She held out the contents.
"AHH!" Kenny jumped up. "The attack ring cracked with the power of that attack! Hum... while I'm fixing it, I can upgrade it too, if you want."
"Sure... just... fix it..." Takara said. She started to walk away, but nearly fell off the platform. But, Sekai grabbed her.
"You okay?" she asked.
"Yeah... except my attack ring was busted," Takara replied heavily.
"Attack rings are replaceable…" Sekai smiled.
"Yeah… I guess," Takara sighed. "But what I'm really worried about is my Bit-Beast."
"Really? Is that so? You have an amazing bit beast, as well as an amazing talent," Sekai smiled mysteriously. "Well, bye, we have to go and meet up with my mother. She is working as a bodyguard and I'm staying at the hotel that the people that she's watching over is staying at so she can keep and eye on me."
"Your mom is a bodyguard?" Tyson asked, amazed.
"Yes, she is," Sekai waved. "Bye for now! I have a feeling we will meet again soon!"
"Bye!" The Breakers echoed.
"Don't you think we should be going to our hotel too?" Kenny asked.
"Yeah, Mr. D will probably want us to," Ray agreed. So all together, they made their way back to the hotel.
O.o*************o.O
"So… what do we have to eat?" Tyson asked eagerly.
Max shuffled through some crates. "Lets see… it looks like we only have those instant noodles left…"
"Fine with me!" Tyson wait. He took 5 little containers, put water in them and shoved them in the microwave.
"I hope your cooking for all of us!" Takara cried, when she heard the hum of the microwave.
Kai shook his head. 'I won't eat anything Tyson cooked, even if my life depended on it…' he thought.
"Yeah, right," Tyson said, voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Okay then… COULD SOMEONE MAKE ME SOME NOODLES?" Takara cried, then added. "PLEASE?"
"Okay, okay," said Ray, getting up from the couch he was sitting on. "I'll make some noodles for you, me and Kai, since I know he won't eat them if Tyson made them." Kai nodded.
"Curry flavor please!" Takara added.
"Yeah, yeah… I'll have oriental, and you Kai?" Kai handed Ray a sheet of paper. "Curry too? Jeez, you guys must like hot stuff or something… or you want it cuz it's the only flavor Tyson won't touch?"
"Eh… I like the flavor," Takara said, shifting to a more comfortable position.
"Okay…" Ray said.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"I'll get it!" Kenny ran over to the door. When he opened it, there stood Abeba.
"Hey guys," She said. "What's up?" She wore a heavy black jacket that was buttoned all the way up.
"How are you Abeba? Haven't hear much from you lately!" Kenny welcomed. "We're just making dinner, do you wanna join us? We're having instant noodles."
"No thanks, I just ate," Abeba smiled. She stepped through the door and closed it behind her. "Well, congrats on your victory today, beating the 'Eve of the Essence' group. You know, they are one of the strongest Beyblade teams in all of Africa."
"You saw it?" Max asked.
"Yeah, of course," Abeba smiled mischievously. "I wouldn't miss it for the world. In fact, I haven't missed one of my daughter's matches."
The Breakers froze in there spots. "Yo-you are Sekai's mother?" Takara said amazed. "You are here as our bodyguard, aren't you?"
"Yup," Abeba smiled. "To serve and protect."
"Wowsa," Tyson comment, noodles dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"That must be Sekai now," Abeba cried, and fetched the door. "Ah! Sekai! There you are! I was wondering when you would show up."
"Yeah, well I'm here now," Sekai came through the door. Instead of her bizarre costume that she wore earlier in the day, Sekai wore normal clothing, a navy blue t-shirt and jean shorts. Her hair was still the same tho. "Hello there! How are you all doing?"
"Good," The Breakers cried.
"And the your blade?" She asked Takara.
"Kenny's fixing it right now," Takara smiled.
"That's good," Sekai nodded. "Hey! What's that smell!?"
"Curry noodles," Ray answered from the kitchen.
"Really?! Wow! I love curry!" Sekai's emerald eyes lit up like a light bulb.
"Well there is plenty to go around, it's the only food Tyson won't touch!" Ray said. "You want me to make you a cup too?"
"Please!"
O.o*************o.O
Later, after everyone was finished eating, they chatted a bit, and laughed at Tyson when he attempted to eat noodles through his nose. Yeah… everything was great…
"Hey momma, can Takara come to my room with me?" Sekai asked.
"What? Oh, you'll have to asked Mr. Dickenson to see if it's okay," Abeba answer. "I'll call him on his cell." She went over to the telephone and punched in a few numbers and waited. "Oh, hi Mr. Dickenson. How are you? I'm fine… yeah the kids are fine too. Sekai just wanted to know if Takara could come to her room with her… yeah… okay… okay… all right. Thanks. Bye!" Abeba hung up. "Well, you can, but you'll have to watch out for Takara, she can't see cuz the Senses got to her. And you'll have to bring her back at 10:00pm. Okay?"
"Alright!" Sekai grabbed Takara's arm. "This way! It's only a few rooms away…" She led Takara out of the room, down the hall, where they stopped at Sekai's room. Into the room they went. "The Senses got you?" Sekai said after she shut the door. "Poor you! That's terrible! They've been after me for quiet some time now." She led Takara to the bed and made her sit down.
"You know about the Senses?" Takara asked.
"Yeah, who doesn't? They've almost got half the blading population in Zambia, and in a few other places too," Sekai said.
"Really?" Takara said, amazed.
"Yeah, they are the most feared team in all of Africa. No one will try and stop them because they don't want to loose any of their senses. If only someone defeated them, then everyone who lost to them would regain their sense!" Sekai cried.
"Really?"
"Yeah…"
"So why did you want me to come to you're room?" Takara asked.
"Well,
You have special powers,
You do.
You can talk to you're bit-beat.
I know," Sekai sung.
"Err... what's with the rhyme?" Takara asked. "Wait a sec… how do you know?"
"I see farther then the eye,
Farther then the sea and sky,
Father then the deep and high,
A sense that they want to take,
And I won't left them have."
(A/n: I suck at rhymes…)
"Great that you can see… hey wait! You said the senses are after you right? You have a 6 th sense!" Takara cried.
"Yup," Sekai smirked. "I have the ability to see thing no one else can, to look inside of peoples hearts, and beyond. I saw that you are very special, Takara. You have the spirit of Cho imbedded in you, no?"
"Yes… I'm suppose to have her inside of me. And BioVolt wants me because of Cho," Takara said.
"It is true, Cho lives in you. She watches you also. She told you one of you're bit-beast hidden attacks," Sekai continued. "In fact, when I looked into you, she saw me and asked me to show you who she is. So that I will do."
"How?"
"We take a walk down memory lane…" Sekai said, reaching over and pressed to fingers on Takara's forehead. "…deep within your soul…"
O.o***o.O*** O.o***o.O*** O.o***o.O*** O.o***o.O*** O.o***o.O*** O.o***o.O*** O.o***o.O***
