Thanks reviewers! Here's the next chap!
Elisabeth turned around. She was horrified to hear that voice again. She saw a red haired boy of 16 standing with the rest of his Russian team – The Demolition Boys.
"Tala. How disastrous to once again be within your presence," She teased icily.
"Well well well, what have we here? You still seem to possess that bitchy quality. It never did suit you."
"Well I try to keep some options available. What suits me is for myself to decide when the opportunity presents itself. Not by some pompous ass on a leash."
They exchanged death-glares. Tala, defeated, turned his stare to Kai.
"The traitor. You could have done well Kai. It is most depressing you chose these," He glanced at the Bladebreakers, "Children to accompany you instead of the glory that is Demolition boys."
Kai's eyes narrowed. "What's this? Is Tala being a sore loser? Don't be discouraged just because you lost to one of these ... what was it you called them? 'Children'?"
Tala frowned. With a glare, he turned and with a passing sweep he commented, "You're not worth my time."
His team followed him, making various faces and glaring at them.
Tyson smirked, "We sure showed them!"
Elisabeth looked at him, raising an eyebrow. "Heh heh heh.... Did I say we? Way to go you two!" He sunk into chibi form, putting a modest arm behind his head.
Elisabeth strode by him to their ready room. (a/n :I have no idea what this would be called.)
The team looked after her then followed. She was thankful they stayed behind her so they could not see the look of confusion on her face.
'What did Tala mean by "Traitor"? Was Kai really one of the demolition boys?'
She didn't get to finish her train of though before the others walked in.
She flashed a dry smile. The Bladebreakers all found someplace to sit, ready to listen to Kenny's analysis of the Darling Diva's.
Elisabeth spaced out through the whole thing. She was thinking about what Tala had said. She sighed.
She regained focus. Kenny was just starting on the blader she'd be facing.
"... this is going to be hard, Okay? You're really going to have to try Tyson. And Elisabeth?" He faced her. She was attentive.
"You're going to be facing Lara, the last of the three sisters. She's as strong as Katie is, if not stronger, but she is the second best in the group. I'm confident you can beat her. She has an attack blade, so she'll be on the offensive, but if you don't hold back then you'll be okay. The one that won't be blading is Brooke. She's supposedly their secret weapon, so If two people win, they'll be pulling her out. If they do, you or Tyson will be facing her. Her stats aren't detectable, so you'll be going in metaphorically blind. You'll have to try hard. Good luck."
She nodded. She wasn't very nervous.
As they headed out into the arena, the cheers of the fans scared Elisabeth. She was nervous, and it showed.
She stumbled and almost fell walking out. Kai caught her, but to jeers from the crowd. She sweatdropped and thanked him. This would be harder than she thought.
The all sat down on the bench and waited for the other team to walk in.
Elisabeth was breathing heavily. She was almost to the point of a panic attack. This many people ... it was terrifying.
Max was sitting next to her, trying in vain to get her to calm down.
"Max, I'll be fine it's just..." She paused as the team came in, "Nerves." She swallowed. Her breathing became regular. She was confident now that she saw her opposition. 'Girly girls,' She smirked inwardly.
They had walked out of the stadium with 3 wins. The other stats were unimportant, because they were victorious. Only now, they knew they had to face the Demolition Boys.
They went back to the hotel and practiced for a few hours. They couldn't afford to lose tomorrow. Even in such a small competition, the felt they had to beat the Boys.
After all the practice, the girls went out to the grocery store to get food they couldn't get from room service, and bring it back to the hotel. Everybody got to pick out one item so that meant they were out for 10 different things. They cruised the fruits and vegetables section. They sought out Raspberries for Elisabeth, Strawberries for Tally and Blueberries for Remy. They looked in the dairy section for Cheese strings for Max , Pudding for Tyson and yogurt for Rei.
Hilary wanted Oreos and Kenny wanted Pocky. They wandered into the canned goods section to find some ravioli for Amelia, which she would eat cold. Kai claimed he didn't want anything, so they picked out something for him too. Amelia wanted to get him a bag of dog food but they decided that he might like a bar of chocolate and got him one. Using her own money, Remy also bought a large tub of Fluff. (Marshmallow spread). The girls used to buy that for sleepovers and eat it the way it was; using knives to snack on the sticky substance.
The cashier, an old lady, stared at them is a way that called them delinquents, unworthy of using the grocery store. The girls just laughed, and stuck their tongues out at her when finished with their purchase.
The boys had already ordered their dinner upon arrival, so, emptying the grocery bags, Kai raised his eyebrow at two extra items.
"What are these?" He asked, holding out the fluff and the chocolate bar.
He looked at the girls' humored expressions, awaiting a response.
"Well," Amelia began, "You didn't pick out an item, so we were going to pick it for you. I suggested that dog food would suffice, but some," She glanced at Elisabeth, "Didn't agree, so we got you a chocolate bar instead." She completed with a smirk.
He was taken aback.
'They got me something I might actually like? Could Elisabeth have suggested it?'
He stifled the pink tinge growing on his cheek by continuing, holding out the fluff.
"And this?"
"Oh." Remy replied, "I bought that with my own money. It's for us girls for the movie we want to watch later." And, upon seeing the expressions on the guys' faces, "You guys can have some too if you like. We weren't sure whether or not you'd want any."
Max smiled. This much sugar could not be good.
Kai was still emptying the bags though, and he came across...
"Ravioli?"
The girls burst out laughing.
He looked up from the can. Never had he seen someone eat raw Ravioli.
"That's mine thank you," Amelia claimed.
The baffled expression didn't leave his face as he kept on looking through the bag, pulling out the final items. The raspberries, the strawberries and the blueberries.
"You girls eat a lot of ... berries..." there were awkward pauses as he rifled through the bag, picking up each item in turn.
"Don't you like berries?" Elisabeth asked.
He looked up at her. He had tried strawberries before. And blueberries.. and maybe another kind, but never raspberries.
"Not these ones," He pointed out.
She giggled. He loved it when she giggled. "the raspberries? Those are mine. You can try some, if you like." She smiled. He returned a smile.
They had eaten and watched some movies after dinner. Kai had tried raspberries, now Elisabeth's favorite food and everyone had eaten fluff off of butter knives before the night was over. The movies they watched were, "the Texas Chainsaw Massacre" A horror film, "Dirty Dancing: Havana nights" A chick flick/ romance and finally "The Ring" Another horror.
All the girls but Amelia were affected by the horror, but not all as you would presume. Hilary, Tally and Remy were scared of the fact that "Oh my god, I'm going to be ripped to shreds by a chainsaw!" was happening and the "Little girls are coming out of TV's to kill me!" type thing. Only things popping out at random intervals scared Elisabeth. She found the terror and gore quite interesting, otherwise, but stayed quite close to Kai none-the-less.
After the night of movies and fun food, they had all fallen asleep.
-yawn- another chapter done. I hope you're happy it was Tala! He's so cool. I tried to have him keep an aristocratic air, but be snivelly anyway.
And the food items! I didn't know what kind the shows' characters would pick, so I picked foods that go well with their personalities. Not that I'm saying Tyson is like pudding.....nor am I saying that Tally is like a strawberry, it's just what they may like. Lol! Tyson like pudding... Oh! And Raspberries are my favorite food. They're so yummy! There were some other likenesses between Elisabeth and I in this chapter. She may be better at dissing Tala than me, though. Tala is so cool!
And in the next chapter, I get to bring in the Demolition boys! Yay! I get to write Bryan. He's so cool. Oh, I should mention too, that one of my fics coming up might be a BryanxOC one. You meet the OC in the next chappie. She's really kick ass.
Oh, to all you guys whom like reading bey-battles: Sorry for the time-lapse thing. I had major writers block just then and didn't want to go through all the names, blah blah blah. I was tired. When I'm tired and with writers block, bey-battles are all gory details. I can't update tomorrow 'cause the login thing will be disconnected, but when I update, I'll put in the battles between the DB and the BB, K?
Please R&R!
