~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A scrawny 15 year old blond haired boy made his way through the streets of New York city. Staring blankly ahead but making his way through the crowd with ease, he shuffled the plastic bags in his hands again because they were digging into his palms but other than that, that little movement was the only way to tell that this kid wasn't a zombie.
As he moves through the crowd he looks into a shop window and stares at his reflection.
'It's weird. A year ago I was the hyperactive blond boy of the group but now since....she....left, I've had to take over her place in the group.' He moves along but still thinks along the same lines.
'I don't know how it happened but it did happen fast because after she was gone everybody and everything changed. I never realized how deeply our bond, went not just as the Bladebreakers, but as friends and each of us had a role to play on the team. Kai's the mysterious and grouchy leader, Tyson's the strong-spirited and courageous one of us all, and I was the hyperactive fun one who always got Tyson into trouble. But R...I mean she...was the one who brought us all together. I hate to say it but without her, were two separate groups; Kai and then the rest of us. She brought us together and since Kai kicked her off....hey wait a minute. Kai hasn't been the same since, either, he's gone back to the way he used to be but..... he does joke around a lot more which is a real bonus.'
He readjusted the bags in his grip once more as he walked down the street full of people but still feeling quite alone.
'Thinking about it, he spends a lot of time alone and has been doing so a more and more lately, but he still scares us. Enough so that his rule about never saying the 'R' word is always followed and we can't even think about her either.' he sighs 'It's only a matter of time before this team splits up for good'
Walking a little further and having to adjust the bags of food in his hands once more he spies the post office.
'Might as well pick up the mail. I wanna know when our next tournament is gonna be! It's so boring practising and sitting around the house all day'
He heads into the post office and hands the worker there for the Bladebreakers mail. Ever since the world tournament everybody practically knew them and always sent them fan-mail...even to her. Whenever they got that sort of mail Max would always tell the person behind the desk to use the shredder after reading it. He loved to remember her noble victory for them before she told them the truth.
"There ya go, Max" the lady says cheerfully as he goes through it, parcels of food on the floor.
"Thanks Marquie" he replies and keeps reading through it. 'Let's see, bill- Kai, bill-Kai, fan mail- Tyson, fan mail- Kai. Ugh, it's just gonna get thrown out anyways. Fan mail- Tyson, bill-Kai , fan mail- me!! Urgent letter- all of us, bill- Kai, he he he, fan mai...LETTER!!'
His blue eyes go wide as he looks at the scripture on the front of the envelope and he looks up to the old woman in annoying square glasses.
"Um....thanks Marquie, I gotta go" he tells her, stuffing the other envelopes in the bag while keeping the letter out and heading out the door quickly.
"See ya later Maxie!" she calls after him
"Yeah, bye" he says, not paying attention and rushes out the door in a hurry to get the the apartment before Kai got back. If he was right there was going to be a showdown at the Bladebreaker hotel tonight between Tyson and their captain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The captain in question, however, was not in any way, shape, or form planning on heading home anytime soon before sundown. He's perched in a tree, high above everybody below him, and relaxing for once. But it was only a matter of time before he ran out of thoughts of pretty ponies and unicorns and had to take a look at team issues. (Blue; ^_^ Had to add that)
They pretty much go along the same lines as Max. He's noticed the team moral has dropped considerably and that the blond and bluenette weren't annoying him as much anymore. That's all fine and dandy but he was actually starting to think of them as 'friends.'
"Puh, yeah right. Kai Hiwatari doesn't have friends and never wants them" the 16 year old tells himself as he looks around. Music can be heard coming closer to the tree where he's sitting.
'Oh great, more things to annoy me' with that he leans back and tries to ignore the music but just his luck they sit below him. It's a couple of guys much bigger than he is and who could easily beat him up if he tried to tell them to shut the music off so he had to listen to it.
He doesn't recognise the song right away but almost falls out of the tree when the woman sings
Quicker than a RAY of light,
Quicker than a RAY of light,
Quicker than a RAY of light.
Getting really angry he jumps out of the tree, surprising the guys below, and storms off, cursing Madonna under his breath for ever singing that song. (Blue; I like Madonna BTW)
Now his thoughts were racing through his head at the memory of the blader in white who practically won them the World Championships and saved the Earth from BIOVOLT. The blader who had started the melting process of his ice cold exterior, and the blader who had actually become his friend. Too bad all of it was a lie.
Though, even if it was, he hated to admit it but Rei really was his friend and would be a person who he would never forget for the rest of his life, no matter how hard he tries to. Dammit.
Kai sighs as he looks up at the sky. It's amazing how much time passes when your lost in your own thoughts and world. Turning on heel he makes his way back home to the apartment which he shared with the other Bladebreakers.
He is completely unaware that destiny has decided to step into his life, once again, and turn it a full 180.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the captain walks down the large hallway, past only a few other rooms, he thinks about what he's going to do about Tyson's not practising again today. He's thought of a great torture method that involves the word 'Die' with a 'T' when he hears raised voices coming from his room.
"We have to, Max!" That was the obvious voice of Tyson. This was weird. For the last 6 or so months the entire team has settled down and nobody has hollered at anyone else for so long. Something must be up.
"I know we do, Ty" came Max's exasperated reply and the unmistakable sound of him flopping down on the couch. It's so squeaky you could have heard it downstairs. "But Kai has to make the final decision about...."
The captain decides to take that moment and walks in to find Tyson with both hands above his head leaning against the wall, Max on the couch with his head in his hands as expected and Kennyis staring at a newly opened letter on the table.
"Make the decision about what?" he smirks as everybody in the room jumps and looks at him, different expressions across each of their faces. Raising an eyebrow he asks "Ok, what's going on?"
The others in the room looked to one another then Tyson finally spoke up in an angry but calm voice.
"Look at the letter on the table...BUT" he said before Kai could actually read the note "you have to think it through like a REAL leader Kai. Think about the good of everything and not just little kid grudges like if somebody stole your Barbie"
Kai rolls his eyes then walks over and quickly snatches up the letter. It reads:
Dear Bladebreakers,
Our village is in dire need of your assistance. A war has been brought to our lands for not only a few resources we posses but because of other circumstances. We desperately need your help and request that you use the helicopter tickets we have already payed for to get to us.
Please help us. Too many innocent lives are at stake.
Lee Rai Mariah Mao
Second in command Secretary
Rei Kon
Leader and Head of Council
Kai looked up from the letter with an emotion in his eyes that none had seen before and were a little taken aback. They knew he wasn't going to be happy about this at all but they didn't know HOW angry.
The leader looked from Tyson to Max to Kenny before sighing and sitting on a chair and putting his forehead in his hand, still staring at the letter in his other hand.
"How dare they..." was the first words he said before slamming the letter on the table and putting both his hands on his head. "They lie to our faces and then expect us to come and help them?"
"Kai!" Tyson says angrily "We all know how much you hate the White Tigers and Rei" Max and Kenny's jaws drop and Kai glares angrily at the idiotic boy who continues "But if there are innocent people in the middle of this war it's practically our duty to help!"
The two-toned haired blader stands up and walks over to Tyson and stares at him with fire burning in his eyes. After staring at the smaller he looks to the other two
"So? What do you think?" he asks and the others look shocked. After the initial shock Max is the first to speak up
"They do seem sincere about needing our help and if there are innocent people then that's a good enough reason I think" he tells Kai with a shrug
"I agree with Tyson and Max" Kenny says finally speaking up "They need help and if they think were the people to turn to then we really should"
Their captain looks at them pitifully then plops on the couch on the opposite end of Max and with his head in his left hand, with the arm resting on the arm of the couch, sighs and says "When do the tickets say we leave?"
The 3 younger ones looked at each other then to their captain in disbelief.
"You mean it Kai? Are we really going?" asks Tyson with his jaw dropped in complete shock. He had thought that getting him to say yes would be the battle of the century but no! He said yes on his own!
Their captain glares at them with his icy cold crimson eyes, full of despise and hatred
"But it's not because I want to and let me make that very clear. It's because of the innocent people in the middle of this stupid so-called war" he growls and goes into his room and slams the door.
The others wince and Max is the first to break the silence
"You think he still blames her for his losing Dranzer?" he asks the others
"I think so. I mean the poor guy is still the second best of us all and he doesn't even have a bit but...do you think Rei got Driger back yet?" Tyson asks the others and Kenny pulls Dizzy over to him
"Hey Dizzy, what's the 4-1-1 on Driger?" he asks the computer, pulling up Rei's stats. The funny thing is they don't have a picture of Rei yet so his name comes up but there's no pic.
"He's still gone, Chief, and I don't think he'll be returning anytime soon. Same with Dranzer but don't tell Mr. Sunshine in the other room I said that or I'll be just another piece of scrap in the junkyard"
A small "Oh..." comes from the couch and the blond stretches out on it. "Well...at least we get to see Rei again!" he says enthusiastically and smiles. The others nod in agreement and, for one time in the last year, the entire team was happy...ok maybe not all of them.
~~~~~~Kai's Room~~~~~~
"You think he still blames her for his losing Dranzer?"
The tallest Bladebreaker leaned his back against the door in the dark and listened in on the others conversation to hear their thoughts.
(But....I....I'm not sure) he thinks to himself.
"I think so. I mean the poor guy is still the second best of us all and he doesn't even have a bit but...do you think Rei got Driger back yet?"comes the voice of the Dragoon tamer and Kai growls again.
(She'd better not...or...GAH! Why can't I make up my mind?)
"Hey Dizzy, what's the 4-1-1 on Driger?" Kenny's voice comes clear through the door and Kai listens intently.
"He's still gone, Chief, and I don't think he'll be returning anytime soon. Same with Dranzer...."
The blader doesn't hear the rest of the sentence, in fact it's just a bunch of background noise compared to his head.
(Dranzer...how could you? How could you leave me? I mean I was a good blader...wasn't I? I deserved you..my father gave you to me when I was twelve, you've been my only friend for practically ever! After the World Championships I thought I would get you back but you didn't return. Obviously Driger didn't either. But why? Why did they both leave?)
Kai walks over to his bed and flops onto it, still thinking
(A year ago I had a friend, though. At least, I thought she was my friend. She betrayed me! She took advantage of my trust to her and lied to me. I can't trust somebody who does that so I did the most logical thing and the best thing for the team, I kicked her off it)
He thinks back to her face when he told her and her shouts to him.
(It's like a nightmare but why? Why do I feel like I made the wrong decision? For some reason, I feel like...like half of me is gone. I'm not sure, in fact I could be wrong, but there was something Rei had that kept this group together)
"And now that she's gone we've split apart. No longer a team, just bladers" he says out loud sarcastically, standing up beside his bed "Arg..." his face screws into one of pure frustration "Why does life have to be so damn HARD??!!" he shouts while spinning and punching his pillow.
Pulling back a couple strands of hair the captain of the Bladebreakers stayed like that for a few minutes before laying back down onto the bed and falling into a dreamless sleep.
Sleep.
The only place where somebody can be without having to worry about the troubles of reality.
A place of nonexistence.
~~~~~~In the Living Room~~~~~~~
Max sighs as he looks from his bed on the couch, through the darkness of the room, and out the window to the cool night. Tyson and Kenny had gone into their room a while ago and a small stream of light flicks into the room from under the door. The Chief is going to spend an all nighter remaking the teams beyblades.
"I hope this turns out well for all of us but I doubt it" he remarks with a small smile before rolling over and into a world of dreams about his mother and him having fun together like they used to do.
After about 10 minutes of Max sleeping a red and green light shines into all three rooms, lighting up the black in two but ignored by the working boy in the other. And Tyson...well...a herd of elephants dancing in front of him in tutu's wouldn't wake him up.
~~~~~~Kai's Room~~~~~~
The light fades and two figures are now standing on his balcony trying to figure out how to get inside.
"I told you we should have gone to the front desk first!" the cat-like man with medium length black hair that looks like it hasn't ever been brushed and bright green eyes hisses quietly to the man beside him.
"Right, and what are we supposed to say?" the other man with red hair pulled back in a tight ponytail and red eyes asks and then does a dopey looking face "'Uh hi there. Were bit beasts from another world coming to check up on one of our masters. Do you mind if we sneak into his room?' I don't think so!" he whispers back.
"Gah!!! Then allow me" the black haired man tells the other "Move over"
"Gladly" they switch places and the red haired man watches amused at his companion staring at the lock on the sliding glass door. "So how exactly are we supposed to get in?"
The other man's green eyes fill with mischief and he smirks at the other "Dranzer, Dranzer, Dranzer, since when have you ever known me to not know something?" he asks innocently.
"Um, let's see, every other time we've tried to do something important you always screw it up, Driger."
"Yeah well...that was then this is now and NOW I have a plan"
"Oh Lord..."
"Here we go" Driger's green eyes light up and he stares at the lock. There's a sudden click and the door slides open silently for them. He turns to Dranzer's disbelieved face. "Shall we?"
Dranzer's jaw has dropped and he glares at Driger, who smirks "Ok...that's ONE...and when the heck did you learn how to do that?" he asks silently as they walk inside the room and he stops to stare at the lock. It's shimmering slightly.
"You pick up a few things when you let Dragoon loose on your friends" the shorter of the two replies looking around the room. "Now where would he have put it..."
"I don't know....on his night-stand maybe? That's where normal people put their books...not in their trash cans" Dranzer tells the other sarcastically while looking at his master sympathetically.
"Hey! I got it...dang, he finished reading it" Driger whispers harshly while picking up the book on Kai's night-stand and flipping through it.
"I thought he would..." Dranzer trails off, still staring at his master who actually looks peaceful in his sleep. He jumps slightly as a hand is placed on his shoulder.
"Maybe you should go back to him. I know you promised me you would stay with me, Dranz, but it's obvious you miss him and he misses you." the black haired man says and encouragingly as possible but in reality he's scared that the other might take up his offer and leave him alone.
The other turns to him and sighs "I promised you, remember? I said 'When it happens we will stick it out together, k?' and we both laughed at how pissed Kai would be. Well, your stuck with me, kid" he puts his hand on the shorter man "So get over it and let's get out of here. He won't miss it"
Driger laughed and they walked out the door which magically slides closed behind them.
Before they left, though, Dranzer turns back one last time to look at his master and lets a tear fall freely. He felt comfortable around Driger even if he did tease him.
"I never actually left you, master, I will always be there for you no matter what" he says and the two disappear in a haze of red and green light.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Next Day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Move your butts you two!" Kai called behind him while reaching into his pocket and flicking out a pair of sunglasses. slipping them on.
"Yeah well....Tyson....packs...like...a...chick!" Max complains as he shuffles the duffle bad on his shoulder and the one in his hand. The one in his hand is his own green and yellow and the blue and gold one on his shoulder is his best friend's.
"Shut...it...Max...I do not!" Tyson retorts from beside him with the 3 bags under his arms.
The three are walking through the airport, heading for the private helicopter's sector and it's quite busy but it just seems to get busier around the boys. Reason: Fangirls.
"Ooh! Look it's Kai!"
"He's so hot"
"And Max! What a cutie."
"That Tyson guy isn't too bad either...ow!"
"You have very bad taste"
Tyson huffed and looked ahead to their destination just beyond the fangirls who have surrounded them, blocking their way out. "Aw man, how are we gonna get to the helicopter"
"Got it covered" the Russian told him.
Kai smirked and toyed with his glasses before pulling them down and giving a playful wink to the crowd in front of them. Almost like a wave they all fell backwards, feinting. Putting the glasses on the right way he stepped carefully around the girls before heading to the door. "Coming?" he called back to his glaring team mates.
"Show off" the 3 said at the same time, joining Kai as he walked out the door and to a hanger marked 3.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blue; man, Kai really IS a show off isn't he? Ok, I'm going to end the chappie here....
Red Rain; ROWR! HISS HISS!!!! (OH NO YOU DON'T!) *runs over to the kitchen and holds Blue's Wet Fish of Doom above her mouth* Mew (Do and dear old Fred here get's it!)
Blue; NOO! NOT MY WET FISH OF DOOM! Evil kitty. *sits back down and types*
(If anybody is wondering, I hate that cat)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sounds of the spinning chopper wings above them was such a constant racket that none of the boys could catch up on any sleep but then again passing over the mountains near their destination they didn't want to. A green sea was spread out before them with rock-like-mountains jutting out, some with snow and others without but it was an incredible sight all the same.
"Wow, Rei's sure got it made here. Look at the scenery!" Tyson remarked into his headphone and received mutual agreements from his two friends and an annoyed 'hn' from their captain sitting in the front with the pilot.
No sooner than they had gotten over the mountains and were oohing and aahing that the pilot began their decent to the ground but there didn't seem to be any place to land.
"Um, Chad, where are we going?" Max asked politely to the black haired man in the front who laughed and pointed between two large mountains ahead of them
"Were going in between the twins here and to the other side. If you thought the last hour was great looking wait until you see this valley, it's gorgeous. The nicest one in about a thousand miles if you ask me" he told the group who looked ahead eagerly. Even Kai was curious to see what this place looked like. Rei had talked about her home so much that he longed to go there just once to see what it felt like to be living with so much green all around you and now he was receiving his wish.
(Half of me wants to see this and the other says jump out of the plane now before you do something you'll regret) he smirked silently to himself (I'll take the choice that doesn't involve me plummiting hundreds of miles to the ground and when the last thing I hear is a giant "SPLAT"...splat? Did I just say that? God, I need a vacation)
The helicopter flies to the mountains, all eyes on the opening between it to get at least a sneak peek at what's to come.
~~~~~~~~~~~~The Village~~~~~~~~~~~
"David! Slow down!" Rei called as she ran through the dense forest. "Wait for me, kid!"
"Ha ha, no way Rei!" came the small but cute reply a bit ahead of her. She stopped and listened. Hearing a twig crack she hurtles into that direction and tackles, softly, a small 6 year old boy with shaggy brown hair with natural blond streaks near the top.
"Gotcha kid" she tells him and he mocks shock "you know the punishment...TICKLE ATTACK!" she yells fondly and begins tickling the smaller boy's sides as he laughs and eventually surrenders. They walk over to a tree and in two jumps, or in David's case three, they make it to a large branch able to hold both of them as they sit to watch the slightly clouded sky.
"Rei?" David breaks the silence looking at the girl who is dressed in a light blue thick strap tank top and dark blue form-fitting jeans.
"Yes?" she looks at him and he looks down, twiddling his thumbs
"I've got two questions" he looks at Rei for the approval to continue and she nods "Yay! Ok, one are the people coming to help us save the village nice and brave? You always tell the mad people like Mr. Potator that they are the best that anybody can get but I wanna know the truth" he says nobly and Rei smirks and ruffles his hair and looks across the green sea of trees before her, the wind catching her loose black hair and toying with it.
"And I will tell you the same thing. They truly ARE the best that anybody could ever hope for. The Majestics are strong, brave, and pride themselves on their nobility. They would never turn down a request for help. The All Stars are really cool. They have lots of neat gadgets in their beyblades and a really nice lady with them who will help us and they are very smart and maybe Emily will be able to keep up with you" she looks at the boy and smiles as his bright purple eyes light up with pride. Nobody in the village is able to beat him in a foot race even when the actually try.
"There was one more team that's coming, right?" David asks and Rei looks away from him and answers after a deep sigh
"Yes, the Bladebreakers" she replies. David doesn't pick up on her depressed mood and asks his other question
"Ok, my second question is this. When you told me that gramma, momma and papa were watching me through holes in the floor of heaven and that rain is their tears, did you mean it?"
The fifteen year old girl smiled and looked over to him and nods.
"Yes, I did. You see, David, my momma and papa look through as well. They miss me and I miss them and I'm almost certain that it's the same with you"
Before David can question her further, though, both their ears pick up a distant sound and they look up and Rei jumps up on the branch while David stays sitting so she can see who and what is coming. Her face lights up. "It's the first of the helicopters coming to bring one of the teams" she tells him excitedly and he jumps from the high branch to the forest floor.
"Can we go see them, Rei? Pretty please?" he pleas as she joins him on the ground and looks at her watch.
"You can see one helicopter land and the team come out but then you must get back to the house. I've already made you late as it is"
"Yes Rei" he said, bowing, and then they both took off through the brush. After a two minute run of dodging trees and jumping bushes they make it to the stream where the village lay on the other side. "Betcha I can beat you across the bridge!" the young boy challenged and took off across the wide wooden bridge.
"Hey! That was unfair" Rei laughed as she followed him, getting glares from all around her from the people working on picking fruits from the trees beside the stream but she ignores them. They had been this way ever since Lee's Grandfather chose HER to lead them and not a young boy.
What was his reasoning? She was supposedly the most fit to lead the village and was strong not just in physical strength but in spirit as well.
At least that's what Lee's grandpa had told her when she asked after receiving the sword launcher that had been passed from each generation of leader to the next and their village hadn't had a leader since, well, it's been 70 years, you tell me.
She caught up with David on the edge of the large crowd surrounding the descending chopper and began to push her way through telling the glaring villagers sorry and David followed her. Upon reaching the now descended helicopter with blades still spinning slightly she smiles at Lee and Mariah who she goes to stand beside with David at her side, no longer the bouncy little brat she had come to know and love but a mature representative of the village.
"Who is it?" she yells and the engine is cut.
"I'm not quite sure.." he looks at her face and Mariah quickly responds "It's not them, though, they were the only ones we rented for. Thank goodness."
"Oh, cool" Rei's golden eyes then turn to the helicopter and the door opens. A familiar red head pops out
"Hey Rei...oof!" the cocky red head is shoved out of the copter by a sporty looking blond.
"Move it or lose it, Johnny...LEE!" Enrique shouts, jumping out and over his fallen team mate to shake Lee's hand "It's great to see you, dude. Hey Mariah" he turns to the pink haired girl and is about to kiss her hand when he is shoved out of the way and is beaten to it by the cool green haired frenchman.
"Ah, Mariah, how nice it is to see you...oh...hey Lee" Oliver looks up and goes pale at the look on Lee's face "Oh..um..yeah...it's how we say hello in France...no harm ment...he he" the shortest Majestic backs away into a bickering Johnny and Enrique.
Rei smiles brightly and realized, for once though she already knew, how much she missed those three and their antics. Suddenly she feels her hand lifted up and turns to see a taller and more handsome now Robert kiss her hand lightly.
"Rei, how nice it is to see you" he says dropping her hand and Rei smiles even brighter
"Robert!" she jumps up and hugs him, tightly, and he hugs her back "How are you?" she pulls back and asks
"Oh, I'm a little tired"
"Why?" her question is answered by a three pairs of arms hugging her and three voices calling
"REI!!"
"So good to see you, madamoiselle" Oliver says, dropping her and looking at her hand. She lifts it up to how him the silver ring he had given her over a year ago
"Still got it, no worries. I wear it everyday" he tells him.
"You look good" Enrique remarks and gets three pairs of hands across the back of his head "hey!"
"But, seriously, it's good to see you my friend" says Johnny as sincerely as he could extending his hand and she takes it.
"You too...hey Robert, is this the reason your tired?" she laughs as the purple haired blader nods.
"Don't laugh. You try driving a helicopter with these three in the back" he says honestly and the others sweat-drop and give him a "HEY!"
They hear another loud noise and look a little farther ahead to see another helicopter landing.
'Not rented. YAY!' Rei thinks to herself and the 8 of them move onto the next chopper, unaware of the crowd moving with them.
The All Stars jumped out of the plane before the chopper even hit the ground and ran over to the group. There were many hugs, cheers, cat calls (Eddy and Steven to Rei when she hugged Michael) smacks and tears between the girls.
It was quite obvious that Michael and Emily were dating from the way they held onto each other.
"All right everybody, let's get going...or should the workers bring your stuff then leave?" Judy asks getting out of the chopper. "Hello Rei, Lee, Mariah, Majestics. Well Michael?"
"Let the workers take them" Michael said as a young brown haired boy stared up at him in awe.
"And who might this young man be?" Emily asked, bringing a blushing David to everybody else's attention from behind the cocky captain. Rei smiled as he tried to look proud and much bigger than he really is...which is really, REALLY short.
"My name is David" he tells them and Rei walks over picking the small boy up.
"That's right and now, David, we made a deal" she kissed him on the cheek and sent him off to the orphanage. After standing up and brushing herself off she turns to the others and hears a distant noise. Looking up in the air is the one thing she wasn't looking forward to seeing now.
"Um, Lee, greet them for me will you? I gotta get to the councilor's hut for a bar of soap, bye!" she spat out so quickly it took everybody there a minute to register what had just happened. Mariah and Emily looked at each other and told the others that they would meet them in the hut and followed the dark haired girl's lead.
"Wonder what that was all about" Enrique says out loud, being his normal blond self, and everybody else anime falls.
"Is there anybody else you know who would send Rei packing you dolt!" Johnny shouted and Enrique sweatdropped
"Um...no" he answered poking two fingers together.
"It's the Bladebreakers" Robert says bluntly, glaring at the now descending helicopter above them, making everybody's hair and clothing flow to the wind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His crimson eyes looked at the ground and at the large village. Much larger than he had expected actually. As he looks he sees the Majestics, All Stars, Lee, a helicopter on the ground and a helicopter taking off. The one on the ground is obviously the Majestics, it says Majestics on the side.
As their chopper touched ground it was easy to see they weren't the favoured group of kids coming into the village.
"Hey guys!" Max and Tyson yell, jumping off the plane and heading to the group of bladers who welcome them with open arms.
"Tyson, Max, what's up dudes?" Enrique asks, slapping Tyson on the shoulder
"Nothing much, just the sky" Max answers for them both as Kenny joins the crowd of joyous people.
Kai jumped out of the plane next and slings his black duffle bag over his shoulder. Noticing the crowd has gone a little silent he helps the pilot unload the other 3 bags, Kenny brought his with him.
The small crowd of friends moved over to the copter and Lee pays the pilot before most of them turn to Kai, who is standing expressionless, feeling a little uncomfortable being the center of attention.
"May I help you?" he asks icily, picking up the dropped bag as some of the teams scowl.
"Yeah, you can tell us where the hell you got the nerve to show u..." Johnny starts before Robert steps on his foot. "Ouch!"
After shaking hands with the pilot Lee senses that the teams and Kai are getting under each others skin so he steps in between Kai and the others, breaking them up.
"Hey guys, let's get to the main hut so we can tell you exactly what's going on and why your all here, huh?" Lee half asks and half tells the group who nods in approval, still staring at their opponent. "Great. Leave your bags here and some of the villagers will take them to your cabin while we go." he nods to the crowd behind them, most smile, and motions for the group to follow him.
Walking through the village the group, even Robert, had to admit they were impressed by what they saw. A sturdy foundation for generations to come is just what every city needs, and this one was perfect because there were only two cars in the entire thing. The only real mode of transportation were horses and walking but Lee explained that that's how their village had chosen to run.
They reach the hut and Lee walks up the few stairs to the top and opens the door, motioning them inside.
Once inside the Bladebreakers looked around and waved to Mariah and Emily standing over a map on the opposite side of the table to where they had come in.
"So. They decided to show up" a voice drawls from the bookshelf as the figure scanned the shelves for a certain volume.
The reason they couldn't actually see the person was because, again, the blinds had been drawn and the only light was from the sky light and the few lamps on the table.
"Hey you, we would help this place no matter what so shut your mouth and mind your own buisness!" Tyson told the person who...laughs?
"What's so funny?" Max asks, Kai raises an eyebrow.
"Um...guys?" Mariah starts and they look at her "That's the town leader"
"Great, so you're the reason for all this" Kai remarks but doesn't notice the glares coming from all directions.
"Yeah, I think so" the figure replies walking towards the light.
Tyson, Max, and Kenny's jaws all drop and Kai's eyes go wide as he lets his arms drop to his side.
"REI!?"
