Sweet Revenge
"3...2...1...Let it riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Max yelled.
Kai and Raven launched both of their blades at the same time, but
Kai's hit the bowl first and circled the bowl. Raven's blade soared through
the air and landed right beside Kai's. Kai was caught off guard as Tearozen
smashed into Dranzer, hard. Tearozen spun away from Dranzer after that
attack. Dranzer flew into the middle of the bowl instead of out. Kai was
confused. Why isn't she trying to hit me out? He wondered.
"Dranzer! Emerge and show your true glory!" Kai ordered.
"Tearozen! Come out! Play time is over!" Raven's voice took on a sharp
steel edge as Tearozen materialized first as a ball of ice.
"What?! You call that pathetic snowball a bit beast?" Kai sneered.
"Tearozen, unwrap!"
Tearozen turned out to be an ice seal with a fan of sharp icicles
Protecting his neck. He was made of pure ice and had ruby eyes.
(think of the freeze card in CCS)
"Didn't you learn in school that fire melts ice?" Kai mocked, "Dranzer, Fire
Arrows!"
Dranzer folded his wings close to his breast and unfolded them again.
When he opened them, arrows of fire shot out from him and toward
Tearozen.
"Tearozen! Howling Blizzard!" Raven yelled desperately. Kai was right. Fire
melts ice! What am I supposed to do? Panic set in as she tried to defend
herself.
A wall of blizzard surrounded the stadium with winds that blew high
and fierce. The wind shrieked and howled around him; bits of snow were
covering the stadium, but the worst part was that Kai couldn't see what was
happening. The wind served two purposes. The howling and shrieking
sounded like ghosts or spirits, which would sometimes intimidate weaker
bladers, as well, it kept the snow going around the bowl and instead of
randomly into the stadium
Kai's eyes for once showed a flicker of emotion, fear. The one thing
humans are most afraid of is something they don't know. The unknown
thrills and terrifies the human soul. Right now, Kai didn't have a clue what
was going on inside the stadium and he was afraid.
"Dranzer! Flame thrower!" Kai yelled in a frantic attempt to free up his
clogged vision of the stadium.
Dranzer's mouth opened wide and a beam of fire shot towards
Freezer. Tearozen made a series of clicks to which Raven responded with,
"Freezer! Wall of Ice!"
Kai couldn't see what was going on, but he could get a picture of
what a wall of ice looked like. He smirked as he realized what would happen.
The beam of fire thawed the wall and kept going. It hit Tearozen and
Tearozen started to form beads of sweat. Raven tried another move,
"Frozen Tundra!"
Kai now had no idea what frozen tundra did. He gritted his teeth as
he tried to prepare for the worst. If it was a beam of ice then I can counter it
with my Fire Barrage.
"Fire Barrage now!"
Dranzer formed a ball of fire around itself, but it did no good as
Frozen Tundra had coated the floor of the bowl with ice making it slippery
and wet.
Raven could barely see what was happening, but her bitbeast,
Tearozen, informed her well with clicks, which was his way of
communicating with her. Raven understood all of this to which she used to
her advantage.
All of a sudden he blizzard cleared up. Kai was at first relieved than
shocked. The bowl glistened with the ice on top of it and Dranzer was losing
his balance and was in danger of falling. Kai understood this and
commanded Dranzer,
"Melt the ice around you now!" Dranzer responded with a war cry and the
blade appeared to have little sparks that defrosted the ice on the bowl's
façade.
Raven gasped. This was not good. First, the blizzard had stopped
because it had been on too long and had used up a lot of energy and
second of all, her plan on making Kai's blade slip had failed as he now was
obliterating her attack. To top it off, if she didn't think of something soon,
she was going to lose. The only strategy she could think of now was to trap
Dranzer in a,
"Ice Cage! Hurry Tearozen before we lose!" she shouted. Her resolve
strengthened as she was determined not to lose.
Tearozen speeded up and headed straight for Kai. Just as he was
about to collide into Dranzer, he swerved left and ice beams shot out of his
mouth. They threaded together to form a prison of ice in which Kai was now
trapped.
Dranzer expressed his fury at being caged by shooting fire at the ice
surrounding him now. Kai thought that Dranzer was in control of things as
he began shooting fire, but it didn't go as he thought it would.
The fire melted the ice alright, but the water stayed as a cage. Even
in its liquefied form, the enclosure was still in place.
"Wha?! How...but..." Kai stammered
Even Raven was amazed. She never knew the attack, Ice Cage,
could do that.
"Yeah! Alright! Tearozen, Blizzard Blast, now!" Raven cheered her bitbeast
on, sure that victory was within her grasp.
Tearozen clicked and opened its mouth as a blast of ice shards and
snow froze Kai's blade over. Dranzer's anger flared at this and it screeched
angrily. It's sudden burst of anger heated the blade enough melt the ice.
As the blade melted, Tearozen rushed it and slammed into it. A cloud of
smoke, dust and snow rose up, blinding both Kai and Raven. They
automatically raised their hand to shield themselves and looked up when the
dust and smoke had cleared.
Kai's blade was wobbling, but was stilling spinning, technically.
Raven's, on the other hand, had flown out of the ring and was now at Kai's
feet. Kai smirked, his reputation was still intact and he had won. He let out
a breath he realized he had been holding and stooped down to pick up
Raven's blade.
"Yeah! Go Kai!" Max applauded as Rei patted him on the back.
Raven let a smile grace her lips as she climbed down the ring to
retrieve Kai's blade. Walking back out, she exchanged blades with Kai.
"Can we go eat now?" Tyson complained, "It's been half an hour already
since we ate."
Everyone face faulted as Rei muttered,
"Some things never change."
The Bladebreakers walked back to their hotel with Raven tagging
along. Kai had a duffel bag that he made Raven carry along with her own.
Her body sagged a little under the weight of both duffel bags.
Tyson chatted happily with Max while Kenny analysed the battle that
had just happened. Rei looked like he was deep in thought while Kai silently
walked behind everybody like usual. Raven strolled beside Rei and studied
the Chinese boy carefully.
His eyebrows were furrowed together in concentration and his hands
were propping up his chin. His bangs hid his eyes from her and he had an
air of mystery about him. His eyes looked around and connected with
Raven's. Her face flushed when she realized that Rei had caught her.
She tore her gaze away from him and suddenly found the ground very
interesting. The next time she got the courage to look at him again, she
found him staring at her. He smiled shyly which made Raven smile back.
They arrived at the hotel and entered through the double doors. They
got many curious stares since Raven stood out. Although the hotel was not
grand or expensive, she looked out of place with her slutty clothes. The
black-haired girl hid behind Rei and felt the stares of many people on her.
When they finally reached their room, she sighed with relief.
Rei and Kai shared a room while Max and Tyson shared a room and
poor Kenny was left all alone.
Raven looked around quizzically. There were two beds and a floor.
Surely Kai didn't expect her to sleep on the floor!
"Uh, where am I supposed to sleep?" she asked hesitantly.
"You can sleep on the floor-" Kai began, but Raven interrupted,
"Uh uh! I ain't sleeping on the floor!"
"Or, as I was saying, I'll call room service and have them bring up a cot."
"What do you think?"
"The floor it is then."
"Only if you're there." Of course, she didn't mean it, but it seemed to have
the desired effect as Kai picked up the phone.
Rei watched all of this with quiet interest...
~~~~~~~~~Tyson and Max's Room~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wheeeeeeeeeeee!" Tyson yelled as he jumped up and down on Max's bed.
Max laughed along and pushed him off the bed. Tyson landed with a
thump on the floor.
"Ugh, my butt," he groaned.
"Sorry," Max giggled, "I just didn't want a broken bed.
"Ah, whatever." Tyson climbed onto his bed and started bouncing again.
"Uh, Tyson," Max said worriedly, the creaks and groans coming from the
bed didn't sound promising.
"I think it's going to-" a loud crash sounded which made Max scream and
jump 10 feet high.
Dust swirled up from where Tyson and his ex- bed sat. Max winced
as he heard Tyson groan. When the dust cleared up, Tyson was sitting in
the middle of the wreckage and had swirly eyes. He groaned again and fell
backwards. Max hurried over to help his friend and was relieved that he was
okay except for a few minor scratches.
Suddenly, the door burst open and in came a furious Kai and a
curious Rei with Raven tagging along.
"What's going on?!" Kai roared.
"Are you guys okay? I mean you guys were pretty loud..." Rei started.
Kai took one look at the scene and his spark of anger burst into a
flame. Max backed away from Kai with his tail tucked between his legs. (its
an expression, don't take it literally) Tyson on the other hand just groaned
again and shook his head. Seeing the broken bed under him he blushed a
brilliant shade of red and tried to explain,
"It was an accident! Honest guys! You believe me right?"
Kai snorted in disbelief and rolled his eyes. He calmed down a bit
and said,
"Whatever, I'm not the one paying for it." and he walked out with Raven at
his heels.
Tyson laughed nervously and tried to look innocent, but he was never
good at that stuff. Rei took one more look and walked out as well.
"Phew! I thought he was going to strangle me!" Tyson exclaimed.
Max sighed. As Rei said, some things will never change.
