GOB: Welcome to the seventh chapter (everyone ooh's and ah's)

Kai: Oh Joy, One more crappy chapter.

GOB: Ignore the sourpuss, he's just grumpy.

Tyson: Finally! Someone else understands how mean Kai is! Let's join hands and sing for the end of Kai!!!

GOB: O.o

Kai: O.o Blow torch?

GOB: Blow torch.

GOB: As Kai kills Tyson, Max will do the disclaimer, since I've got two buckets of popcorn, and a perfect view of Kai killing Tyson.

Max: She doesn't own anything! She doesn't own anything! You here me? NOTHING!!!!!!!!! Oh wait! I forgot about her o/c's! OK! She owns nothing EXCEPT her o/c's!!!

* * * * * ( * * * * *

"TYSONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" Max yelled for the zillionth time, "WAKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEE UUUUUPPPPPPPPPPP!"

The blue haired blader had finished packing, made his way to the front door, then fallen asleep!!! Max was trying to wake him up while everyone else watched in either amusement or annoyance.

"Max, move aside." Kai demanded, having enough, "Everyone, plug your ears." Everyone listened to Kai, except for Johnny, who replied,

"And who's gonna make me?" At that moment, Kai walked over to Tyson, and bent down next to the sleeping boy. Kai put two fingers into his mouth, and let out an ear-piercing whistle!

"AHHHHHH!" Tyson yelped, scrambling up, "We're under attack! Man the port side Admiral Max! Make sure Cook Kenny and his supplies are safe!"Everyone but Johnny and Kai burst out laughing. Johnny winced, from both Kai's sharp whistle and Tyson's outburst, and Kai just looked at his blue-haired team- mate, then walked away, muttering,

"I don't want to know."

The Bladebreakers, White Tigers, All Starz, and Majestics were settling down in the plane, when Kenny spoke up,

"Hey guys, I managed to pull up some info on some of the other teams in the tournament! By the way, there are also qualifying rounds, and only the top ten teams make it to the actual tournament!"

"Really?" Michael asked.

"That sounds tough, these Canadians are no pushovers, but then again I've never really met a Canadian!" Max said brightly, earning him a pillow in the face, and Kevin whistling innocently.

"If only they knew..." Kai thought, but was interrupted by Johnny asking,

"And what are you smirking about?" Kai turned around, very slowly, glared at the other boy, and very calmly said,

"You'll find out, someday." And with that, Kai turned around, put on a pair of headphones and listened to music, completely ignoring everyone else.

"Well, does anyone want to know some of the teams? It's obvious Kai doesn't care." Dizzi asked. (And Kenny's laptop works on a plane because it's special)

"Of course!" Tyson yelled, earning him glares from the other passengers, as he, Emily, Eddy, Oliver, Enrique, Lee, Mariah, Kevin, and Ray crowded around the computer.

"I don't believe it." Mariah said, surprised as they were shown a picture of the first team, "Isn't that Akira Ketsumi?" The others all looked and were surprised, it was Akira Ketsumi!

"That's right!" Kenny said, "She, her brother, and Tea are all competing in this tournament, but on separate teams! Akira is on the Storm Shadow team, Bren is on the Sky-Bladers team, and Tea is on the Dark Angels team. They are all the leaders of their respective teams."

"Hey wait, what about their leader? Pyro, wasn't it?" Lee asked, to which Dizzi responded,

"Yes, or the Phoenix, we haven't found any sign of him being in the tournament, but some teams are keeping a low profile, so there's no saying he won't be there. But let's continue on the others teams'. We'll start with Akira's."

"Good idea Dizzi," Kenny said, "Akira has four members on her team, including her. We already know about her, so I'll go on and talk about her team-mates. Their names are Hiromi, Jared, and Simon. Hiromi is a defense blader, like Max, and her bitbeast is a three-headed snake, called Tiran. Her special attack is Poison Sting. Jared blades with a more power-based blade, his bitbeast is an elephant, called Eridale. His attack is the Raged Charge. Simon relies on his speed and with his bitbeast, a swift horse, he's very fast. His bitbeast's name is Balkine, and his attack is Swift Strike."

"Strong team." Eddy commented, and then glanced over at Emily, who was typing furiously, "What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to find out something, anything, about the actual tournament!" She said, "There's information on the qualifying rounds, but pretty much none on the actual tournament!"

"Oh, OK." Eddy responded, then told Kenny to continue, which he did,

"Well Bren's Team, the Sky-Bladers, is all boys, Kyle, Josh, and Cody. Kyle is a general blader, with a dog-like bitbeast, Sharan, who's attack is Ultrasound, it emits an ear-piecing howl that deafens it's opponents and can crack rock. Josh and Cody both value speed, and with their bitbeasts, Josh's Karlion (Lion), and Cody's Skyenari (Hawk), they manage to do just that." Kenny quickly snuck a look at Kai, but the older boy was too far away to hear anything, especially with those headphones, which could faintly be heard playing Good Charlotte's, The Young And The Hopeless (that's what I'm listening to right now!), then continued with Tea's Team, the Dark Angels.

"Tea's team is all girls, Her, Serena, Vanessa, and Kassie. Serena's bitbeast is a leopard named Trillia, they're defense bladers. Vanessa is a blader with incredible speed, thanks to her bitbeast Carion, an Eagle. Kassie's more drawn to maneuverability, her bitbeast is a Dolphin named Shorask. Now on to the other teams..." Kenny glanced at his friends and realized that they had all gone to sleep, he sighed, closed his laptop, and decided to rest as well, they all needed a good rest for the tournament!

The teens made their way out of the Edmonton Airport at about two in the morning. Needless to say they were all beat.

"Will someone please tell me where we are staying because I'm about to fall asleep right here and now!!!" Tyson whined, but shut up after he received a glare from Kai. It bugged the whining boy to see that, for some reason, Kai didn't seem the least bit tired.

"We're staying at the Fantasyland Hotel, (this is a real place in West Edmonton Mall, and I don't own it, but it is nice! It's got theme rooms!) a bus is supposed to be picking us up at the North Entrance, so let's go." Ray said, then spun around and asked, somewhat stupidly, "Umm. Does anyone know where the North Entrance is?"

"Follow me." With that Kai began walking, not bothering to look back and make sure the other's were coming, if they weren't fast, he would just leave them there.

About two hours later, all the bladers were in their hotel rooms, sleeping away their jet lag. Tyson was sprawled over his bed, Ray was curled up like a cat, Max was muttering stuff about sugar (^_^), Kenny was dreaming of new beyblade designs, and Kai was, somewhere... Well, almost all of the bladers were sleeping, but four bladers were not snug in their beds, but having a heated argument of gigantic proportions...

Wow! My longest chapter! I think that's a good spot to end it. This is my favorite chapter so far, and I think there's going to be many to choose from. This story's turning out longer then I expected, but I'm finishing it! By the way, I still need one team before I can continue! Oh, and review as always! Thanks and good night. By the way, just try and guess which bladers are awake, Kai is one of them, (duh!) but who else? Well that's all. GOB out (
