I know last chapter wasn't great or anything, but hopefully, you'll like
this one better!
Chapter Fifteen – Zarine's Past
In the morning, the Bladebreakers were just ordering breakfast when Kenny burst into the room and said, "I have bad news!" in an urgent tone.
"What's up with you?" Kai said.
"We're not battling in the tournament today. It turned out that yesterday, when the Majestics were battling that team, the whole stadium got destroyed. They need three days to fix it," Kenny said breathlessly.
"I don't see why you're so worried. This means we will have three extra days to train," Tyson said.
"Tyson! You have no idea how powerful that team was! Robert's blade got destroyed!" Kenny said shrilly. "We could get de-throne, and they would be the World Champions! Worst yet! They could take our bit-beasts!"
"Kenny! Chill!" Max said sharply. "We don't even know anything about them, this is no time to be panicking!"
"Do you have anything on that team?" Ray asked. "What's the name of their team?"
"Well, all I know is their team is called the Dark Force," Kenny answered, "I wish we know more about them."
Kai said, "Before we do anything, I think we should do what we decided to do last night...you do remember what we were talking about, right?"
"Oh, yeah..." Ray muttered, casting a glance in Zarine's direction. The others were all looking at her.
"Is there something I should know about?" she asked, puzzled
"Yeah, we want to know..."Ray said really quietly. He didn't want to since he knew it would be a painful subject for Zarine to talk about.
"Ray, let me do this," Kai volunteered. He didn't want to do it anymore than Ray did, but he could do this better than Ray, since um, let's just say Ray's feelings for Zarine will get in the way. (It has to be done, ya know!)
Kai turned to Zarine and looked at her, "We want to know everything, about those guys, that old geezer, the Dark Force, you connection with them, and anything else to do with them."
Zarine looked down, they could see her pain on her face. After a moment, she looked up again, her face composed once more. "What if I don't want to?" she asked challengingly. She wasn't about to tell them, wild horses wouldn't drag it out of her.
"Because if you don't, I'll kick you off the team," Kai answered passionlessly.
Everyone gasped. Zarine turned pale, she didn't think Kai would go quite that far.
"Are you serious?" Tyson asked, astonished.
"Yes," Kai said. "We want to help, but we need to know what the deal is."
"I never asked for help," she said coldly.
"You know, if you want to stay with us, then you'll have to tell us," Kai reminded her dryly.
"I'm well aware of that," she snapped.
"I'm waiting,"
"Fine! I'll tell you!" she said, and shot him a death glare, completely identical to Kai's reserved death glare for Tyson.
*Zarine's Story*
Me: Ahem, the moment you have been waiting eagerly for is finally here!
Zarine: Just get it over with and start already!
Me: Fine. *look hurt* Just wanted to make it tense here! So anyways, folks...
~Zarine's POV~ (just so it's easier)
I began blading when I was really young. I had loved it ever since the time I first launched my beyblde. I hadn't considered blading as a full time thing or anything like that. It was just a hobby. Then, one day, my friend suggested that I enter the regional championship. I didn't want to go at first, but my parents and friends persuaded me to go. There wasn't any harm in it, so I finally agreed. Partly because I couldn't stand their constant babble about how I should go to the tournament and partly because I wanted to see how skilful I actually was. To my surprise, I won that whole tournament like a walk in the park.
My life returned to normal then, apart from the fact that kids always begged me to teach them. Then, one day, a man came to my house. He wanted me to enter this school for blading. He said I could be the best one day. I agreed to go. I didn't want to leave my friends, but I really wanted to find out what this 'school' was like.
At that school, girls only occupied a quarter of the population. The rest were all guys. We had to train all the time. We also learned about how to make and repair blades. It got kind of boring sometimes. Since 3/4 of us were guys, at least twice a week, some guy would come up and ask me out. It was really annoying. The girls got really jealous of me and none of them would even talk to me. Luckily, there were guys that were in their right minds, and I mostly talked with them, if at all.
My blading skills improved drastically, and soon, I had to have private training. The principle was really proud of me, so he'd always talk to me and everything. All the teachers made a pet out of me, I thought it was really pathetic, but oh well. It had its moments, of course. They gave me chocolate all the time, and I LOVE chocolate.
When I became the best in the school, the principle rewarded me with my very own bit-beast. I was so pumped, I mean, my own bit-beast? I had been dreaming to have one ever since I saw one! Then, I was to join the school team too! It was considered a great honour, but I didn't care about that. All I cared about was how much more fun I'd have with the team instead of with all the lovesick guys and jealous girls.
