GOB: Hey, I know that there hasn't been much action yet, but I promise that there will be soon! ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

Kai: You seem happy, is there a reason?

GOB: YES! I have blackmail on Ray now too!

Kai: Ray!?¿?!

Ray: *mutters* I know.... it's pitiful.

GOB: OH SLAVES!!!!!!!

Ray, Tyson: Yes Master?

GOB: Put up the answers to the questions I asked in the Notez!

Ray, Tyson: Yes Master.

Ray: 1 - Most of the e-mails she got were for romance, not against, so yes there will be SOME romance, but she doesn't know if she's any good at it, we'll see. There will be some in this Chapter.

Tyson: 2 - Check Chapter 15 for who's up against who.

Ray: 3 - She doesn't know or care how long it will be, as long as she finishes it.

Tyson: 4 - Skiing.

GOB: There you go! Oh, and I'm going to get Bren to do the disclaimer!

Bren: No.

GOB: Why?

Bren: I am not a sugar-high weirdo. You made me seem like one last chapter!

GOB: *_* (evil glare)

Bren: (shakes) She doesn't own anything she's not supposed to!

GOB: On with the fic! BTW, this chapter is all done in time frames, be sure to remember to check the time, it's important!!!!!! And check Chapter 11 for Gideon! And refer back to chapter 4! And it's a long chapter! And this is a two-parter! And I'll shut up now!

(3:00am)

"I HATE THAT BASTARD! He waltzes back and acts like he owns the place! I should have been the leader! But he took my place back then, and even now!" An angry teem said to himself as he practiced, only to notice another figure,

"Now, now. I've been thinking, it wasn't his fault. It was that stupid wench's! That bitch started all this crap and -----" The girl was cut off.

"NO! It was all his!" The boy glared, but suddenly froze as an icy voice cut through the argument,

"I think I can help you both get what you want, but in turn, you must help me with what I want."

"You don't know what I want!" The boy snorted, as the girl agreed.

The icy voiced laughed, "You, young man, want to be leader, and you want the second. You young lady, want to take what is hers."

The boy and girl gasped, he was right.

"Okay, we'll do it. Whatever it takes." They agreed, and the icy voice laughed,

"I knew you would, now come with me, Gideon is waiting."

(6:30am)

Akira yawned as she woke up. She glanced in the mirror and grimaced. Her normally smooth and shiny hair was now a mess of black, gold, and silver. Her violet eyes were bleary as she shook off her sleepiness. She heard an alarm clock ring, and then a crash followed by a few curses. She smiled as she listened to Bren's morning ritual. First, the alarm goes off, second, he throws it against the wall, third, he swears a few times, fourth, he throws the alarm clock remnants out the window, and fifth, he takes a cold shower to wake himself up.

She laughed to herself as she saw the rooster clock go sailing out the window. She knew Bren would have to go and get it later. But by then, he was back to his usual self.

She suddenly remembered why this tournament was way more important than the others! KAI AND TEA WERE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She had really missed them, and the whole team fell apart after Kai left. She had never told anyone how much that had hurt her........ But no, no thinking of that. The only bad part was that Derick and Cally were here to, they had also been on the team, but only for a little while, before the Elementals had gotten famous. She didn't like thinking about those two, they were trouble, and she knew it. She had figured out how much trouble when she had been briefly dating Derick, but that ended very quickly. She got out of bed to get ready, and called out to Bren,

"SHUT UP! IT'S TOO DAMN FUCKING EARLY FOR YOUR SHITTLOAD OF FUCKING CURSES!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(6:45am)

Tea winced as she heard Akira. "Damn, that girl still does not know the meaning of the word 'hypocrite' though if she had, I would've sworn she was a clone." Tea chuckled to herself, it was great to be back together with everyone, and to make it even better, Kai was back! She hardly ever saw him. Her other older brother, Keisuke (Kei for short), her twin sister, Tia (tee-ah), and her six year old sister, Ria (ree-ah), she saw frequently, and.............. OMG! They were all coming to Edmonton for the tournament! Great Bountiful Joyfulness (a phrase me and my friends made up)! She had to tell Kai! She raced to get dressed, wincing a few time, as she listened to Bren's morning ritual. "That guy never changes...." She said amused. Then remembered, Kai said to meet at the hotel lobby at 7:30am, it was now 7:15! "CRAP! I'M GOING TO BE LATE!!!" As she ran around getting ready, a sad thought crossed her mind, "Kai lied when he said only one older brother, but I guess he's just talking about which of us are still alive...... It's been eight years, and it still kills him, but I'll make it better! I have too, he's my brother and I don't want him to be hurting. Not anymore."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(5:30am)

Kai walked down the alleyways, feeling disappointed. The midnight run had turned out to be a waste of time. Most of the worthy opponents where blading at the tournament and where fast asleep.

He turned into another alley, and heard a few voices. He stayed in the shadows, where he could hear everything.

"Yes, the two former members have agreed to help. The boy is extremely valuable, his hatred towards the Phoenix is immense." Kai's eyes widened at the name; as far as he knew, no one had called him that for a long time.

"Excellent, and the girl will easily take care of Sea Serpent, with the two strongest out of the way, the other two will easily succumb to our power."

Kai's eyes widened, he now knew that his nickname Phoenix wasn't being used in the alley sense, but in a way that it blended with the past. Sea Serpent was Akira, that would mean that.......... Shit, he had to get out of here before he was noticed.

Kai quickly made his way out the alley, and headed back to WEM (West Edmonton Mall) to clear his thoughts. He had already decided not to tell Akira or the others until he was sure that it was needed. He was worried about the 'former members', he didn't know if they meant former members of Biovolt, or former members of Gideon's group, or what. But that wasn't important now, he had to get back before anyone noticed his disappearance. But as it was about 6:00 in the morning he doubted anyone had come to see him yet. Besides they were meeting in the lobby.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(6:15)

"BRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG..............." Bren groaned as his alarm clock rang. He tried to tune it out, then proceeded to go through his morning ritual.

He threw his alarm clock with enough force that the moment it impacted with the wall it shut up. He began cursing as he untangled himself from the sheets, and swore again when the light reached his eyes. " Damn, fucking natural light."

He then slowly made his way to the bathroom, when he saw the clock. The damn thing really bugged him. Suddenly, he picked it up and chucked it out the window. Satisfied, he went to take a nice cold shower to wake himself up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(6:40am)

Bren walked out into the sunshine with his usual smile. He remembered when Kai first saw his 'morning ritual'. He told Bren to go to a shrink. Bren smiled as he picked up his clock. And walked back in, those were great times. I just hope Kai's eased up on the training, but with that guy, I doubt it. As he walked inside the hotel, he could've sworn he saw Kai getting into an elevator. But nah, what would he be doing out this early?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(7:30am)

[A/N: from now on I'm grouping them as their team number, Team1, Team2, ect.]

All the teams met in the lobby. Well, almost all of them..........

"Where the hell is Team1????" Akira demanded, getting pissed off. The others just watched her rant, She went from being a nice, sweet, helpful person, to angry, ranting, mad-girl!

Just then Team1 came running into the lobby, Oliver noticed the glares and sighed,

"Come on, cut us some slack, we have Tyson!" The others thought about this, then just shrugged. They made their way to the WEM Beyblade Arena, and everyone but Team1 and Team3 took seats in the stands to watch them blade.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GOB: End of part1, it was getting to long!

Kai: I have 2 older brothers now?

GOB: Yep!

Kai: .......

GOB: Oh, and who should win Team10(Ray) or Team9(Max)?

Akira: Please review! Or else I'll hurt you! Oops, I mean it would be appreciated! ^_^

Kai: *shakes head* She needs help.
