CHAPTER 13:
THE TOURNAMENT BEGINS

After explaining the whole story.........

"Understand now, Tyson?" Meia asked.

Tyson nodded.

"We're here!!!" Max announced.

They stepped out of the car and entered Max's cabin.

"There are two rooms with two beds each here. And an extra mat.........so one of us will have to take the couch.........who'll it be?" he said looking at Tyson, Kai, Ray, Mariah, Meia, and Ron.

"Mariah, and I will fit ourselves into one room." Meia

"I'll take the couch." Kai said quietly.

"Sure with that Kai?" Meia asked.

"Better than sleeping in a room together with him." he said pointing to Tyson.

"Hey!" Tyson groaned.

Everyone laughed.

"I'll take the mat and stay with Kai." Ron volunteered. "That leaves you three to share the two beds in the last room!" he added to Tyson, Max and Ray.

Later.........

"Let's blade already!!! I haven't practiced in AGES!!!" Meia exclaimed.

"There's a small stadium outside." Max informed them. "You can practice there."

"Cool!" Meia exclaimed. "Who's gonna blade with me?!" she asked excitedly.

"I'll blade with you!" Tyson volunteered. "Let's see what you got! I'll go easy on you.........don't worry!"

"Ha!" Meia laughed. "actually.........I think I'M the one who should go easy on you! you don't look like you'll last very long!"

"Excuse me?" Tyson said. "In case you don't I happen to have won the world championships and am considered as a world class blader!" he said proudly,.

"And soooooooooo???!" Meia yawned. "Is that supposed to threaten me?"

"You've got a pretty big mouth for someone-"

"someone who?"

"grrrrrrrr! never mind! let's battle!" Tyson screamed frustratedly.

'What a bunch of idiots.' Kai said quietly and walked away.

Later the next day.........

"AND LET THE TOURNAMENT BEGIN!!!!!!!!!" jazzman proclaimed.

"Where's Kai????!!!!" Meia wondered. "We're battling first and he won't show up!!!!"

"Kai's always like that." Ray told her. "He'll show up at the last minute."

"You better go already, Meia.........Ron. Your match is just about to start." Mariah told them.

"You're right." Ron agreed. "C'mon Meia."

"sure........."

"Are you nervous?" Ron asked her as the entered the arena.

"Not really.........I just wish Kai were here." she replied quietly.

"PLAYERS READY?" Jazzman yelled. "3, 2, 1 –let it rip!!!!!"

The match ended soon. Ron attacked one blade and Meia attack the other. They won of course.

Later.........

Our next battle will be late in the afternoon." Ron informed Meia.

"There are so many teams participating........." Meia said. "Ron.........let's find the others first."

"Sure."

When they finally found them.........

"You won!!" Max said cheerfully.

"Congrats guys!" Tyson added.

"Any sign of Kai?"

"Didn't you see him?" Ray asked.

"He was in the stands." he added.

"So.........he was watching!!" Meia exclaimed.
