CHAPTER 11:
TAG-ALONGS
"You know her, Kai?" Ray asked curiously staring at Meia then Kai.
"She's the one I told you about." Kai replied quietly.
Ray nodded then turned to Mariah. "You mind explaining what you were doing, Mariah?"
"I'm sorry Ray. But you see, Kevin stole this girl's bag and she chased him here. I apologized to her but she still said we were 'uncivilized' and I -well, got pissed off and.." Mariah explained, blushing a bit.
"What are YOU doing here, Kai?!" Meia blurted out.
"I invited him to come over." Ray replied promptly.
"You..know each other?" Meia said.
"We were teammates." Kai told her.
"Oh.."
"Come on. Let's get out of here." Kai told her. "You've caused enough trouble."
"It was NOT MY fault!" Meia insisted. "SHE was the one who challenged me!"
"But YOU were the one who provoked her." Kai shot back.
"..."
"Cool it guys." Ray told the two. "I'm sorry for what happened so just calm down."
"Let's go, Meia." Kai said.
Meia glared at him for a while then said "Fine."
They were about to exit the village when....
"Wait!"
They turned around.
"Master!" Ray exclaimed. "What are you-"
"The girl!" the old man replied.
"Who me?" Meia asked.
"Your Bit-Beast." The old man told her. "May I see it?"
Later....
"Just as I thought." The old man said.
"Are you aware of the legend of this phoenix?"
"Yeah." Meia replied. "Me and Kai and Ron already-"
"The phoenixes have united!" The old man exclaimed.
Meia was taken aback by his sudden outburst.
"Are you alright Master?" Ray asked him.
"Yes. Yes. I'm fine! I haven't gone crazy yet!" he replied.
"..."
"My dear child you have no idea how much power you hold in your hands right now!" The old man told them.
"Take this with you." he added handing Meia and Kai a book. "This book contains very valuable information that I think you'll find useful."
"Thank you!" Meia said taking the book.
He smiled at her. "Ray will help you make your way back to the city."
Kai and Meia left the room first. Ray followed them.
"Ray!" The old man called.
Ray came back to him. "What is it?"
"I need to ask you a favor."
"Huh?"
Next Day.....
"Everyone ready?" Ron asked.
"No! Not yet!" Meia replied.
"Huh? I'm about to close the door already." Ron said standing by his plane's door.
"Not yet!!" Meia stalled.
"Why?" Ron asked curiously.
"WAIT!!" someone called appearing by the door.
"Hey! What are you doing." Ron said. "This is a private jet buddy!"
"RAY!!!" Meia exclaimed. "You're finally here!"
"What?" Ron said surprised.
"Ah! I forgot to tell you!" Meia exclaimed slapping her forehead.
"Tell me what?" Ron asked.
"Let Ray in first will 'ya!" Meia said seeing Ray still standing by the door.
"Uh...yeah.sure." Ron said opening the door for Ray.
But to everyone's surprise, a pink-haired girl followed him.
"Mariah! What are YOU doing here??!!" Meia screeched.
"Where Ray goes, I go!" she said smugly.
"Ugh!!!" Meia exclaimed. "Great."
Mariah sat down beside Ray as Ron closed the plane's door.
"You still owe me an explanation." He reminded Meia.
"Oh yeah!" Meia said. "Remember the old man I told you about from the White Tiger Tribe? The one who gave us the book?"
Ron nodded. Meia had already told him about that man and the book the previous night.
"Well, he asked Ray here to come with us!"
"Why?" Ron asked.
"He wants to know everything that happens. Especially with the phoenixes." Ray replied. "He wants me to report everything to him."
Ron raised an eyebrow.
"You can trust Ray!" said Meia excitedly.
Ron didn't look convinced.
"He was my former teammate." Kai told Ron. "You can trust him."
Ron sat down satisfied.
"You trust HIM but not me?!" Meia complained
Ron just laughed.
"Ready to go already?" he asked.
"Answer me!" Meia insisted.
Ron just laughed again. "I'll go tell the captain we can go."
"HEY!!!"
