Well this is chapter 4 and i'm very surprised i managed to do it with all my exams and everything, i also did this with writers block. It's amazing i finished it really....Any on with the story.

Chapter 4

"Wow look at the size of this pool!" yelled Max, as he jumped in the pool. This was the relaxing pool, next door was the other pool which was slightly larger and people used it if they didn't want to relax. Next door to that was the Jacuzzi and sauna. Max had been wearing bright orange trunks and they were very bright. Tyson was wearing blue, Kenny stripy green and yellow (which looked awful but no-one had the heart to tell him), Hilary was wearing a purple bathing suit, which showed off her figure more than her usual clothes. She stood embarrassed by the side. Not usually in her swimming things in front of boys. Ray jumped in and caused her to be soaked by the wave he created. Ray was wearing red shorts that were quite long. Kai wasn't with them, but went into the next room to swim some laps. He was wearing a pair of shorts that were so dark blue that they looked black. He put the goggles he had in his hand on his head and dived in, he was careful of the other person swimming the other side. He paused to catch his breath after ten lengths. He had both arms on the side of the pool and was facing away from the pool when someone splashed him. He turned round and Mia was behind him treading water.

"Hey." She greeted him cheerily

Kai grunted in reply.

"Sorry about Tala, he's a git. Did he hurt you." She said swimming over to the side and pulling herself out of the water, looking very good in Kai's opinion, in a white bikini.

"Nah, I'm fine." He said shrugging, "It takes a lot more than Tala to hurt me. Are you feeling better?"

"Well i can swim cause it doesn't involve my foot too much. But it's still sore. I'd better go. I'll see you tomorrow then." She said limping off in the direction of the changing rooms.

"Bye." Said Kai, pushing off from the side and floating on his back in the water. He knew he felt strange around her, he just didn't know why. It was a good kind of strange though and he wondered whether it was more than friendly feelings for her. He turned over and began to swim again, not happy with the lines along which he was thinking. Half an hour later Kenny came to find Kai and got him to come to dinner.

"After dinner we need to get some training in." Said Kenny in-between mouthfuls. "You lot have been getting sloppy between tournaments."

"Mfff." Said Tyson his mouth full of food.

"What was that Tyson?" Hilary said laughing.

"I said," He said after swallowing his food, "yeah, sure."

"We need to make sure all distractions are out of the way too." Said Kai, who nodded in the direction of Ray who was other wise 'engaged' with Mariah.

"Lighten up Kai, they're young and in love." Said Hilary.

"Yeah, but Kai doesn't know what the word love means." Said Tyson, but immediately regretted it because Kai kicked him under the table.

"I'll go and book the beydish shall I?" Said Kenny getting up when he spied Mr. Raine.

"Well at least we can get some practice in before the tournament." Said Max happily.

Kenny came back looking pleased with himself, "We are so lucky, we managed to get the last booking on the beydish. Nine 'till ten."

"Well done Kenny." Smiled Hilary, which made Kenny go red.

"Chief, why are you blushing?" Tyson laughed.

"I'm not blushing." He denied quickly.

"Hey excuse me," Said a girl who came to their table, She was quite short with red hair that was tied into a ponytail, and looked fourteen, "I was just wondering, are you the Bladebreakers?"

"Yeah we are." Answered Kenny, glad of the distraction.

"Well i just spoke to Mr.Raine and he said that there were no more spaces left to use the Beydish , and he said that you had got the last one. I was wondering if we could share it with you? Cause you don't need as much practice as us."

"Um sure," Kenny agreed quickly, "I don't mind, what about you guys?" He looked at the rest of the team

"Ray won't mind, and i don't." Said Tyson, "Max?"

"Nope me neither. Kai?"

"Well even if i said no i'd be out voted any way."

"Kai being Mr.Sourpuss as usual." Said Tyson

The girl giggled. Everyone raised an eyebrow.

"You found that funny?" Said Tyson, looking surprised because no-one usually found his jokes funny.

"Yeah. You're Tyson aren't you? I'm Lucy." She held her hand out and Tyson shook it.

"Hee hee. I like this girl." Grinned Tyson

"Oh brother." Muttered Kai.

"Lucy, i'll tell you what, you and your team have the dish nine till nine thirty and we'll have it till ten, that sound good to you?"

"That's cool. Thanks." She said turning to leave and waving at Tyson as she did, "See you around Tyson."

Kenny knocked on Kai and Ray's door, "Kai, it's time to go. We've got practice."

Kai opened the door and stepped out, he was the last one to come out as all the others had been in Tyson and Max's room.

"Let's go!" Yelled Max who seemed to be more hyper than usual.

They all followed Max down to the reception hall. There seemed to be a something going on as a crowd of people were at the entrance. Tyson being nosy as usual went to investigate, despite Kai muttering about needing to practice. No-one paid much attention to Tyson until he yelled out.

"Lucy?!"

"Wasn't that the girl that wanted to share our practice time?" Said Kenny. Max nodded and they all went to join Tyson. The group of people surrounded Lucy who was lying on a stretcher. She was motionless and her face was deathly pale. Her clothes were ripped, torn and dusty.

"What happened?" Mr.Raine asked the paramedic

"We think there was some sort of explosion. In the training room. It looked like the door had been rigged to

explode when it opened."

"What were they doing going into the training room? I think it was the Bladebreakers who were meant to be in there." Said Mr.Raine frowning.

"We did book it sir." Said Kenny coming to the front, "But they didn't have a training session so we shared with them."

"Is she gonna be alright?" Tyson asked the Paramedic quickly.

"We can't tell at this stage. We'll have a better chance of assessing her when we get her to hospital." Said the paramedic wheeling Lucy out on the trolley, and into the ambulance.

"I hate to say it, but we need to practice."

"For goodness sake Kai!" Shouted Tyson. "Don't you care? How can we practice at time like this?"

"Sorry Tyson, but Kai's right." Said Kenny, "The tournaments tomorrow. You need the practice. It'll take your mind off it."

"So now you're siding with him?"

"No I'm not I'm just saying what's best for the team. You don't have to come."

"No it's alright i will." Said Tyson admitting defeat. "Where exactly are we going to go though?"

"We can go by the lake." Said Kai. "Training in the sand might make us better."

"Lets go then. We've only got fifteen minutes until it'll be too dark."

They followed Kai to the lake side, where he put them through a very hard session that even Ray and Max had trouble with. Kai did it on the grounds that they were all getting too sloppy. They found it hard going in the sand, because it stopped them turning sharply or going fast. Kai's Beyblade whizzed past Tyson's, showering it with sand.

"Someone's been practising way too much." Said Tyson bitterly, as he picked up his Beyblade and re-launching it.

"Max, you need to work on your speed," Said Kenny typing fast on his laptop. "Ray, your speed and attack are fine but you turning needs a bit of work. Tyson, you need to work on nearly everything except your attack, and Kai, well you don't desperately need to practice anything. You could work on your defence, maybe. You guys have improved a lot, in the past fifteen minutes and i think it's best that you finish for now."

"Man that sand is hard work." Said Max, picking up his Beyblade.

"Why am i always the one that needs the most work?" Tyson said as they walked along.

"Because you don't practice enough." Said Kai matter-of-factly.

"Grrr, Kai why don't you shut up. We don't all practice every day waking moment of the day. Unlike you." Said Tyson, seeming to be looking to finish the argument that had been interrupted earlier.

As earlier Kai just shrugged, "If that's the way you feel Tyson."

A light in the trees distracted them. A Beyblade came whizzing past, sat spinning underneath Tyson; Who, being a hot-head got out his Beyblade and launched it. They came crashing together and began emitting a grinding sound. The other Beyblade streaked off. Dragoon followed and so did Tyson.

"Hey Tyson, slow down." Kenny called after as the rest of the Bladebreakers followed.

A Bit-beast emerged, Kai recognised it as the on that was attacking Mia the night before.

"Hey Tyson, stop." Yelled Kai, getting some weird looks from his team because he was not usually like that. So unusual was it in fact that Tyson turned round and listened.

"What's up Kai?" He said.

"Stay away from that Bit-beast, it's dangerous. Recall you Beyblade."

"Why?"

"Just do it Tyson." Kai snapped.

Tyson held out his hand and Dragoon flew into it. "Woah, ok Kai, keep you trousers on."

"We gotta get out of here," He said, then when they didn't move, "NOW!"

Kai ran for the hotel with the rest of the Bladebreakers in hot persuit. They arrived panting in lobby.

"What...was all that about?" Said Tyson breathing heavily.

"That fox bit-beast was the one that attacked Mia."

"What!?" Everyone gasped

"I'm not joking." Said Kai

"No-one said you were, but that would be very unexpected anyway." Said Tyson under his breath but unfortunately for him Kai heard.

"Tyson, I'm being deadly serious. Stop goofing around and listen. Something's going on. Something really bad. And not just this. We had all better keep an eye out, and look after our Beyblades." Said Kai the he took off in the direction of the stairs.

"There's just no talking to some people." Said Tyson crossly folding his arms.

"Nevertheless Tyson, he's right. Something weird is going on. We best be on our guard." Said Kenny

"Well I think we should get some sleep." Said Hilary changing the subject swiftly.

"Great idea Hilary, I second that Idea." Said Ray

"Motion carried, lets go to bed." Said Kenny leading the way up the stairs.

"Hey guys I'll be up in a minute." Said Max heading to the lift.

"um, okay, where you going Maxy?" asked Tyson, but Max didn't answer and looked embarrassed and then the lift door closed.

Tyson stayed up until Max got back and started questioning him. Max had no where to go and Tyson had cornered him so he gave in.

"Where were you and what were you doing?" Tyson asked

"I was seeing someone." Max sighed.

"Who? It wasn't a girl was it?" Tyson said his eyes narrowing. The look on Max's face said it all. "Oh, man how could you dude?"

"Tyson not so loud some people are trying to sleep." Whispered Max

"Fine, well you gotta tell me who it is."

"Are you totally sure you want to know?"

"Yes"

"Well," Said Max stuttering finding it hard to tell Tyson, "It's Mariam from the Saint shields."

Tyson's jaw dropped.

"Don't tell anyone." Said Max quickly, "Me and Mariam didn't want anyone to know when we started dating."

"And how long ago was that?"

"About three months."

"Three months?!" Shouted Tyson, then Max shushed him again "Don't sush me. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because i knew you'd act like this, thats why!"

"i'm your best friend Max and you didn't tell me that, i'm so upset."

"Well Tyson maybe if you matured more i would've told you ages ago." Snapped Max impatiently,"I'm going to bed."

He left Tyson standing there as he went to bed.

When all was silent on the third floor the door to Kai and Ray's room creaked open. Someone snuck into the room and removed Kai's beyblade from the side of his bed.
