The very next morning, She hobbled out to breakfast, with Rei at her side, to keep her from falling, even though she loudly convinced him she didn't need his help. The others stared at her. Maybe...They weren't used to girls?? She looked at me and smiled. I looked down, to hide the blush on my cheeks. After Rei was sure she could sit, he went and cooked breakfast, because Tyson was whining. She looked up at him, and gave him a deep stare, one that unnerved him. "Go cook it yourself if you are that hungry." Max burst out laughing. She smirked, and I could hear Rei laughing in the kitchen. Hilary burst in the door. I rolled my eyes. "Hey! I didn't miss breakfast did I? Or did Tyson already eat it all??" I laughed a bit this time. Tyson was fuming. "I'm on a diet ok?" Max burst out laughing once again."What kind of diet is that, one that you eat everything in sight??" He laughed, clutching his heart, for fear it would stop I think.
But Rei came in with breakfast so he stopped. Waffles, and fruit, mostly berries. He put the syrup in the middle, and put one waffle on each plate. "Tell me if you guys want more, unless you're Tyson." He said with a quick glare to Tyson. Hilary then, finally noticed the girl. "Oh?" She said, with questioning eyes to me. I shrugged. "So what's your name??" She looked up from her plate, wiping the strawberries and crumbs off her face. "Why should I tell you??" I liked this girl. "Because I want to know!! And you're here at the Dojo, with the Blade breakers, like me, so all I ask is to know your name!!" She glared. "You would laugh." And took another bite of waffle. "Fine then! I'll ask someone else." She looked straight at the others. They all shrugged."Oh, come on!!I just want a name!!!" She smirked.
So, I asked." What is your name?" She looked up at me. "Lie." I blinked. Lie? "Like the opposite of truth?" She nodded, as if solely talking to me. "But why?" She shrugged. "All I know is that it became a nickname for me from the start, because of my blading, and I don't even remember my real name." "Hm."She continued on the waffle. "Wow!" Max said,"So you're a blader too? Do you think you'd be able to practice with us??" She looked up."Only if you want to be beaten." Hilary then burst out, rather rudely, "You know what team this is, right? These are the blade-breakers!! You cant beat them with any old blade!!" Lie stared up at Hilary. "My blade is not 'any-old-blade', thank you very much." Hilary resorted to sitting down, to hide her embarrassment.
When everyone was finished, Max gathered up the plates. When Max gathered Lie's plate, she had carefully picked out all the blueberries. He blinked at her. She smirked. Then I went outside to practice. But before I reached the door, she got up, wincing. I went up to her. She grabbed my arm. Take me back to get Ciriel.My blade. I nodded. "Rei, round them up, I'll be back ut in a minute." He nodded this time. She led me to the room where she was sleeping. It was strewn with bandages, ointment, and clothes. She apparently had decided on a red tank-top, and black jeans, that were pretty tight, and flared at the edges. I blushed when I caught myself looking. She went to the desk, and grabbed a blade, and a launcher I had never seen before. She went back to my arm. I took it and put it over, around my shoulders, and she smiled up at me." Nice blade." She smirked. "Of course.I'm not an amateur." "I see." I grabbed my blade put of my pocket, and she took it, and looked at it. Than her mouth went in an 'o' shape. "This..this is Dranzer. So, now I know you're the real Kai." I nodded. I slid open the door.
The team looked up at me. Tyson thought it was funny to salute me." Half an hour extra practice Tyson." He moaned. So then, Max came up to me. "Kai, cou ld you fix my blade?"I stared at him."I don't fix blades, Kenny does." "Yeah, but you fix your own blade!" I glared at him."But not yours." He pouted. Liestood straight up beside me. I never noticed...She had long strawberry blonde hair, and Bright blue eyes. Kinda the opposite of me, who had Blue, slate hair, and crimson eyes. She took a few steps ahead. "Who is first?"Rei looked up at her. "I am." "I see." I went to the dish. With my fingers, I put down the numbers. 1-2-3,"Let it Rip!!" Her blade went out with a speed I never saw before. From the shape of her blade, I could tell that it was a blade based on defense, and it had a bit beast, without a doubt.
"Come on Ciriel!!" She yelled. Driger pulled up on the force. She came back a few steps. She was obviously in tune with her blade. Then I saw a glow. It was like a human, with powerful wings, and tiger claws, and scaly legs, without a face, except for the nose, and mouth. Feathery hair. "Ciriel!! Morph!!" The beast slowly changed form, and in time, became a complete copy of Driger. Rei, stared in shock." Thought I'd make it equal." He till stared. She knocked him out of the ring. "If you get distracted that easily..." even Kenny was still staring at her. "What?!?!?!" "Your..bit-beast...It...copied..." She put her hands on her face. "No, that wasn't a copy, it was an image. It wasn't the same as Driger, it just had the same attacks. You could say the other Driger you saw was a hologram. Not really there." They still stared in awe. "STOP STARING!!!" They snapped out of it.
Kenny was first to snap out of it."Would you let me scan your blade??" She stared at him. "Sure, but you won't find anything. Not even that I have a bit-beast. I do have another blade with an actual,'beast inside, this is just the only one I like to battle with.""But.." I know. It was the blader staring its beast in the eye. Challenging the blader to take on his or her self. I stepped up."I'm next." She smirked. "Oh, this will be good.I can tell."
