Chapter 3 - A Surprise Visit.
The next morning when Max awoke, he saw Tyson still asleep and that Kai was missing. *-Poor Kai.-* he then looked back at Tyson *-I guess it's time to get Tyson up. Now how to do it.-* Max sat there looking at Tyson and was trying to figure a way to wake him up. When…
"Max will stop staring at me."
Max nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard Tyson's voice.
"Tyson…" he says trying to get over his shock and find his voice all at the same time. "Are you awake?" he asked as Tyson's eyes were still closed.
Tyson opened his eyes and looked at Max.
"I am now. Why were you staring at me anyway?"
"I was thinking of a way to get you up."
"And you had to stare at me to do that?" Tyson asked a tiny hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"Sorry." Max went a little pink.
"Where's Kai?" Tyson asked suddenly noticing the crimson-eyed boy was nowhere to be seen.
"I dunno he was gone when I woke up."
"Hn typical Kai."
"How did you manage to find him anyway Tyson?" Max asked.
"I didn't he found me." Tyson explained.
"Strange, we don't see or hear from him in ten years then all of a sudden he turns up." Max thought out loud.
"That's Kai for you."
"I see you two are finally up." A voice said from the door.
Both Max and Tyson jumped at the sound of it. They turned to see Kai standing at the door.
"What are you both trying to do scare me to death?" Max asked slightly annoyed.
Kai looked confused.
"I kinda scared the hell outta him when I woke up." Tyson said.
"Whatever. Hurry up and get dressed." Kai said as walked back out.
"It feels like he bossing us around again." Tyson remarked to Max thinking of the old days.
Max nodded. They both got dressed and had some breakfast before going to see what Kai wanted. The only problem was they couldn't find him.
"Great. Now that we're up, he can't be found anywhere." Tyson said half sarcastic half annoyed.
Max sighed then he thought of an idea. "Hey Tyson wanna relive some old memories." He asked holding up Draciel.
Tyson smiled.
"Sure, but we both know that Dragoon will win."
"Yea right in your dreams Tyson." Max laughed.
"Hey guys what's up?" Kenny asked as he walked in.
"Chief, you're just in time." Tyson says.
"In time for what?"
"In time to see me cream Tyson." Max joked.

In the park -
Kate watched two boys as they started to battle each other and sighed.
"I wish I could blade like." She said to herself.
"You can." A voice said from behind her.
Kate turned round quickly and received a shock for behind her was a person that reminded her of her twin brother Ben. She shook herself out of her
shock.
"I can? You obviously haven't seen me blade then." She laughed a little "I can't even make my blade turn it just goes in a straight line!" she walked off.
"I could help you," the person said to her back.
Kate stopped "You could? Wait…what do you want in return?" she asked a little suspiciously as she turned back to face them.
"Nothing."
"Yea right. Nice try mister but I ain't buying." She turned back round and continued on her way.
"Just meeting me here tomorrow." They said.
Once again Kate stopped she didn't know why but she trusted this person just as much as she trusted her mother or her brother.
"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow then." And turned the corner.

Just as Tyson and Max's match was reaching its peak another blade entered and started attacking them.
"What the…" Tyson said.
"What's going on?" Max wondered.
Then they heard a voice shout an all too familiar attack.
"Sapphire Star Blast Attack!"
"Wait I know that attack." Max said in amazement.
=FLASHBACK=
"It's time you were 'leaving' Max." Sam said as she battled him.
"Somehow I believe it's you who's going 'leave' Sam." Max said back.
"We'll see. Moonstar Star Blast!" Sam said to her bit-beast.
"What? Star Blast?" Ray says partly confused.
A few seconds later it was all over as Max's blade flew out of the dish.
Max just stood there in complete amazement staring at Sam.
"Sorry did I forget to tell you Moonstar and I have been working on a new attack." She says sarcastically to a shocked Max.
"That was pretty sneaky Sam." Tyson says.
Sam smiled "Yea well I didn't really want to say anything until I was certain it would work."
"I'd say that was a pretty good test." Dizzi confirmed.
"Yep, sorry Max I hope I didn't damage Draciel too much."
"Nothing that the Chief can't fix." Max says.
=END FLASHBACK=
"Sam!" they all exclaimed.
They all looked back the dish to see that both Draciel and Dragoon had landed just outside of the dish and that the other blade had gone.
"But if it was Sam why won't she show herself?" Kenny wondered.
"I don't think it was Sam Chief." Max says seriously while picking up Draciel.
"Then who?" Tyson asks.
"I dunno but whoever it was they must learn her Star Blast attack." Max answers.

"Ben you know that wasn't nice of you." Kate said as they both walked home.
"Would you calm down sis. I was only having a bit of fun."
"Well you could have lost your blade, then what would of mum said hm" Kate reasoned.
"Man sis you're no fun!" Ben complained.
"Of course I am." She smiled deviously and snatched her brother's blade from his hand. "Catch me if can Ben." She teased as she ran off.
"KATE GET BACK HERE!"
"You can't catch me." Kate teased as she ran into the house.
Ben ran after her, they went from the living room to the garden to the kitchen and even ran circles round their mother.
"What? What are you to up to?" she asked.
"I'm just showing Ben how much fun I can be mum." Kate answered innocently.
Her mum laughed.
"Taken your blade again has she Ben?"
"Fine take it! See if I care!" Ben shouted at his sister then stormed off.
Kate looked at her mother in shock.
"I didn't mean to upset him." She said quietly.
"I know that dear, but what may seem fun to you isn't fun for him." She smiled and got on with what she was doing before the 'interruption'.
That night Kate went to see her brother before going to bed. She entered his room and saw that he was sitting on his bed looking out the window.
"Ben?" she said quietly.
She got no reply so she tried again and little louder this time.
"Ben?" still no reply. She sighed. "Listen Ben I'm sorry about this afternoon I didn't mean to upset you. I guess I just wanted to show you that I could
be fun, I didn't stop to consider how you would feel." She turned and left seeing that brother didn't want her around. And headed towards her room.
A few minutes later his mum walked in.
"You okay dear?" she asked.
Ben nodded, but she didn't believe him and sat down next to him.
"She didn't mean to upset you."
Ben looked at his mum; she saw he had tears in his eyes. He then lent into her and cried.
"It's okay." She said soothingly while gently rubbing his back. "I know how much that blade means to you."
"How could? You've never bladed before." Ben said.
"Just trust me." She said mysteriously. "Come on its time for bed." She said getting up.
Ben gave a nod and got into bed still wondering what his mother meant by 'just trust me.'

The next morning Tyson and Max were discussing what happened yesterday.
"But how can anyone learn her Star Blast attack?" Tyson questioned.
"I dunno Tyson. The only way I can figure is that if she taught someone." Max answered.
"Who you guys talking about?" a voice asked.
"Someone's using Moonstar's Star Blast attack." Max explained not bothering to see who the person was.
Both he and Tyson were so busy thinking about who it could be that they hadn't noticed that the person who had asked the question was Ray.
"I see you found them." Kenny said as he walked in.
"Yep, although they seem to be preoccupied with something."
"Hey guys." Kenny said trying to get their attention.
"Hey Chief, Ray…but why would she teach someone her attack?" Tyson asked Max continuing their conversation.
"I wish I knew Tyson. It would help to explain a few things." Max answered.
A few seconds later both Max and Tyson realised what Tyson had said earlier, they both looked at each other.
"Ray." They said in unison then turned to Ray standing with Kenny.
"It took you guys long enough." Ray joked.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
Kate arrived at the spot where she had met the 'stranger' yesterday. He hadn't arrived yet, she wondered if she was doing the right thing by 'taking
lessons' from this 'stranger'. She couldn't explain it but she felt as if she knew him for somewhere and yet she'd never seen him before. If her mum ever
found it about this what would she think? She sighed and looked down at her blade in her hand.
*-I guess a little practice wouldn't hurt.-* she thought.
She put her blade on her launcher and launched it; again it just went in a straight line.
"Oh why do I even bother." She sighed.
Suddenly another blade appeared and began attacking Kate's blade; her blade flew through the air and landed at her feet.
"Who did that!" her anger was clearly visible. "Ben is that you?" she asked getting angrier by the minute.
"You're right. You are a lousy beyblader." A voice said.
Kate looked over to where the voice came from and saw the same person she had spoken to yesterday.
"Grr… I should of known you weren't serious." She picked up her blade and headed off.
"I thought you wanted to learn how to blade." The person said enticingly.

Ray knocked on the door.
*-I wonder how they look now.-* he thought.
The door opened to reveal a ten-year boy with blue hair and brown streaks.
"Can I help you?" he asked.
Ray stared at the boy the resemblance to his father was remarkable.
"I'm here to see your mum. Is she in?"
"Who are you?" the boy asked curiously and suspiciously.
"My names Ray."
Ray noticed the shock on the boys face before it disappeared a few seconds later.
"Uh…yea she's in. Hold on a moment." He disappeared leaving the door open.
He returned a few minutes later, "She says come in."
"Thanks. You know you've grown since I've last seen you." Ray said as the boy closed the door.
But he didn't get a reply as the boy walked off before Ray could finish his sentence. He stood there in the hallway of the house looking round. *-Nice
place. She's done well with two kids.-* he thought. He then heard shouting. "You just left him there! Ben I swear sometimes…"
Then he saw the person he came to see. She was angry he could see it in her eyes; her angry soon disappeared when she saw Ray.
"Hey Ray." She said cheerily. "It's good to see you again."
"Hey it's nice to see you again too. I haven't seen you since you left the village." He answered as she led him towards the living room.
"I'm sorry I stopped writing but I've just been busy. I apologise about Ben just leaving you there." she said as she took a seat on the sofa. "Have a seat."
"Don't worry about it." Ray says taking a seat next to her. "You know looks just like his father."
She smiled "Yea he even has his temperament as well."
Ray gave a little laugh "Yea I could tell."
She then stood up and went to the doorway; she then called out "Ben, Kate come here there's someone I want you to meet."
~~~~~~
Kate had just walked through the front door when her mother called out she walked towards the living room wondering what was going on. Her mother rarely wanted them to meet people. She walked into the room very curiously.
~~~~~~
"Kate this is Ray, Ray this is Kate." She introduced.
"Hi." Kate said cheerily.
"Hi."
Her mother sighed, "Where is your brother?" she asked resignedly.
"I'm right here," a voice said from behind her.
She turned round and saw Ben leaning against the doorframe.
"Ben… aren't you going to come say hello?"
Ben walked in but didn't say anything he just stared at Ray his crimson eyes showing that he didn't trust him.
*-Defiantly just like his father.-* Ray thought.
"You'll have to forgive him. He doesn't trust anyone even me." Kate explained.
Ray then remembered the reason he popped by.
"All the guys are getting together I thought you might like to come."
"I dunno Ray." She said sighing.
"Come on it'll be fun."
"Oh can we please go we never get to go anywhere." Kate moaned.
"What do you think Ben?" she asked.
"Whatever." He replied.
"I guess it is time you met the others." She said giving in.
They all left the house and headed over to everyone was meeting up. When they got there Ray said.
"I'll go in first and introduce you."
"Hey guys." He greeted as he walked in then noticed Kenny was missing. "Where's the Chief?"
"Hey Ray, where'd you disappear off to?" Max asked.
"He went home to get something." Tyson said answering Ray's question.
"I went to see someone." He answered. "I… uh… wanna introduce you guys to some friends." He began.
"Ray this is suppose to be a Bladebreaker only reunion. As in you, me, Max, Kai and the Chief." Tyson said.
"I know Tyson but I guess you could say that they're part of the team."
This totally confused Max and Tyson.
"Huh?" they said in unison.
Ray motioned for Ben and Kate to come in, which they did.
"Tyson, Max I want you to meet Ben and Kate…Janeway."
"Janeway? You mean Janeway as in…" but Max didn't get to finish his sentence.
"Yes Max they're my children." A voice says entering the room.
"Sam!" Tyson says utterly shock.
"Did someone say Sam?" another voice said half questioning.
Sam turned round and was extremely surprised to see…
"Kai!"
