CHAPTER 6:
THE LEGEND OF THE PHOENIX TRIO

BBA office.....

"Your match with Spencer caused great confusion, Kai." Mr. Dickenson stated. "So, naturally, we sent researchers to work on the case."

He opened his suitcase and brought out some papers.

"I received these yesterday." he told them. "According to this research Dranzer and Drazzler are actually part of a trio of phoenixes."

"A trio?!" Meia and Marianne exclaimed together.

"Yes." Mr. Dickenson replied. "There's actually a legend about it. Listen."

The three just looked at him, eager for information.

"Many years ago, in a very small village, triplets were born. Two boys and a girl." Mr. Dickenson began. "As the triplets grew up, the villagers noticed that they looked practically identical. They considered them as abnormal and didn't go near them. They believed that these children may be a sign of bad luck. They became scared. Eventually, they decided to sacrifice the triplets to their god. The Phoenix god. The Phoenix god heard about this and was very displeased. He believed that triplets are special children. It is very rare to stumble across triplets. He was extremely disappointed in the people but he did not have the power to bring the children back to life. So what he did was he decided to let the triplet's souls take the form of phoenixes."

Kai, Meia, and Marianne listened attentively. Mr. Dickenson continued.

"The triplets were alive again but in the form of phoenixes. Phoenixes are legendary creatures with astonishing powers." he explained. "The Phoenix god gave each of the triplets, who were now phoenixes, an element to reign over. The elements were fire, ice, and thunder. The triplets were now powerful. However, they chose to use their power to protect their village instead of seeking revenge. Even though their fellow villagers sacrificed them, they showed true loyalty and love by using their powers to protect their village. They gave themselves to the villagers in the form of a bit- piece. The people used the bits they were in wisely. The village was protected from all sorts of danger. The triplets were happy. So were the villagers."

Kai and Meia looked at their Bit-Beasts.

"Your phoenix Bit-Beasts are, of course, the ones I was referring to in the story" Mr. Dickenson told them. "You were chosen to control them. They were destined to be yours."

"That explains a lot.." Kai said.

"But what about the other phoenix? The third one. Who has it?" Meia asked him.

"His name is Ron Valencia." Mr. Dickenson replied, handing her a paper with a boy's picture and some details about him. "His brother was the original owner of the third phoenix but he died. Ron then became its new owner."

"Where is he right now?" asked Marianne.

"His address is written there." Mr. Dickenson replied. "But he doesn't Blade anymore."

"He doesn't?!" Meia and Marianne mused together. "Why?"

"Nobody knows the real reason." Mr. Dickenson answered. "He wouldn't talk to us and refuses to Blade. He doesn't know the power he has."

"..........."

"I need to ask you a favor." Mr. Dickenson told the three of them. "Talk to him. I need the three of you to form a team."

"Us?!" Meia asked, stunned.

"You see, Voltaire is planning to take over the world again by stealing all the Bit-Beasts in the upcoming tournament. We believe that only you are powerful enough to stop him. But you need Ron. The three phoenixes together would be invincible. We need your help. It's for the world!"

"Who's this Voltaire?" Meia asked.

"And what do you mean 'again'?" Marianne added.

Mr. Dickenson sweat-dropped. "Sorry. I forgot you didn't know......"

"Voltaire's my crazy grandfather who's dead-set on taking over the world. He's tried to but failed and now he's trying to again." Kai answered.

"I don't know what to say." said Meia, sweat-dropping.

"We need the three of you to compete in the tournament and stop Voltaire." Mr. Dickenson stated.

The room was silent for a moment.

"A tournament?" Meia said.

Mr. Dickenson nodded.

"Why not?..........sounds like fun. I'm game!" she said.

"Great!" Mr. Dickenson exclaimed. He turned to Kai and looked at him hopefully.

Kai looked at him then looked at the two girls who were also looking at him hopefully. "Fine."

"YAY!!"

Somewhere......

"Is this the one?" Meia asked, stopping in front of a big mansion.

"Yup." Marianne replied. "It's the one alright."

They knocked on the door.

A few seconds passed before somebody opened it.

A butler greeted them.

"Hey...I'm Marianne and this is Meia and Kai." Marianne introduced. "We're here to see Ron Valencia."

The butler led them in.

A blond boy met them as they entered the big house.

BBA office..

"Everything's going smoothly." Mr. Dickenson said to some men. "We just need to wait for Ron then everything will fall into place."
