Chapter 2: Nikki's Memories

When everyone was inside the dojo, everyone but Nikki was talking. Then, Nikki suddenly had a flashback of when she was a young kid.

Flashback
A 3-year-old Nikki was beating on her six-year-old brother, Ozuma. "OZUWA! WAKE WUP!!" the young Nikki shouted. "What is it, Nikki?" Ozuma asked, finally waking up. "Mama and Dada are fighting again. I'm scared" Nikki said. "Don't worry, Nikki. I'll protect you" Ozuma said, hugging Nikki and putting his blue blanket over her. "Thank you, Ozuwa" Nikki said. "You're welcome" Ozuma replied, smiling.

We..were so young back then. I was so afraid and lost. Ozuma was the only one who protected me. Then..Then he went and betrayed me! He came and tried to steal Dranzer. But, why can't I be mad? It..It just scares me.

Nikki then hummed "You'll Be In My Heart", from her favorite movie, Tarzan. 'Huh? Nikki and I used to listen to that song all the time' Ozuma thought. "Hey Kai, remember when Nikki became a Bladebreaker?" Tyson said, laughing. "Don't remind me.." Kai muttered. "Oh, when I beat Kai's blade into the ground and he gave me Dranzer? Yeah, that was fun" Nikki laughed.

Flashback
10-year-old Nikki stared into her opponent's eyes. Her opponent was her best friend, Kai. Nikki wanted to become a Bladebreaker, and go to the world championships. "3..2..1..Let it..RIP!" Nikki and Kai shouted, pulling their ripcords, sending their blades into the dish. "Okay, get 'im!" Nikki shouted to her beyblade, Flash Cheetah. She got the blade from her brother, Ozuma. "Dranzer, let's show Nikki that when you play with boys, you get hurt!" Kai shouted. "Let's go!" they shouted together, their bit-beasts coming out. Nikki's bit-beast looked like Ozuma's Flash Leopard, except it was more like a cheetah. Nikki smirked. "Kai, you don't stand a chance. Flash Cheetah, let's finish this quick!" Nikki shouted.

The battle was incredibly intense. Nikki was on the offense most of the time, but then was forced to defense. "Cross Fire!" Nikki shouted. "Volcano Emission!" Kai yelled. The two blades attacked, and it caused an explosion. "Dizzi, what's going on?" Kenny asked Dizzi, who was in his computer. "Your guess is as good as mine, Chief!" Dizzi said. "C'mon Kai.." the rest of the Bladebreakers whispered. When the smoke cleared, the dish was destroyed, and Dranzer was out of the stadium.

"I...Won. ALRIGHT! I WON, I WON!" Nikki said, jumping up and down. "As you promised, I get your place in the Bladebreakers, Kai Kai!" Nikki said. "You fought well, though" Nikki said, shaking Kai's hand. "Thanks. You did well too" Kai said. Kai picked up Dranzer, and placed it in Nikki's hand. "Here" he said. "Huh? Your Dranzer? What's this for?" Nikki asked. "You deserve it. Think of it's a little part of my soul going to you" Kai said, smiling. Nikki blushed a bit.

Nikki was laughing, and Kai's head was hanging by now. "Man that was fun!" Nikki shouted. "Yeah. And you blushed, didn't you?" Max said. Nikki glared at him. "It was just your imagination!" Nikki shouted, then she looked like she had flames around her, and in her eyes.

Nikki got up, and walked away, soon coming back holding a purple blade in her hand. "You still have Flash Cheetah? After all these years?" Ozuma asked. "Of course I do! While I was looking for you, I asked Flash Cheetah to help me" Nikki replied. "Yeah, they're like King and Queen's Ariel and Gabriel, except with the same attacks" Tyson said.

Then, Grandpa popped in. "Hey dudes, you got a visitor! It's the Zeo guy!" Grandpa said. "Zeo!" Nikki shouted, bolting outside and hugging Zeo tightly. What's weird is, she didn't get hurt when she hugged him. "Zeo, I thought you were a robot" Nikki said. "Dad found a way to turn me human. Ain't it great?!" Zeo exclaimed. "Now I can breathe, and even bleed. I poked myself with a knife to test it" Zeo laughed. "That's fantastic! TYSON, MAX, KAI, RAY, HEY GUYS, GET OUT HERE!!!" Nikki shouted, and saw the boys come outside. "Yeah?" Tyson asked. "Zeo's human now!" Nikki shouted. "Cool" Tyson replied.

Flashback
Nikki was battling Zeo for the top place in the world championships. She was 11-years-old, but was the toughest of the Bladebreakers. How'd you expect that Nikki got this whole way but Tyson didn't? Ray, Nikki's team-mate (they split the teams in two), was cheering her on. Tyson's Dragoon and Ray's Driger was stolen, so she had to win. For the bit-beasts, for her own bit-beast, for her friends, and on top of all that..FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP! "Dranzer, c'mon!" Nikki shouted. "You won't win, Nikki" Zeo coldly said. "You bet?! DRANZER!!!!!!!!" Nikki shouted, "FLAME SABRE!" Nikki continued, as the huge phoenix attacked. "Come on Nikki! You can beat 'im! Don't give up!" were the cheers from her friends. Then, Zeo's arm suddenly shot into the air, and his skin tore, to reveal metal. 'He is a..a..' Nikki thought.

Boy that was creepy. Finding out Zeo was a robot. I got over it, but it still surprised me.

The battle continued on, until finally Nikki let all her anger and rage out, and Dranzer absorbed it. "DRANZER, FINISH IT OFF! NOW!!!" Nikki shouted. "FLAME SABRE!" Nikki called, and Dranzer attacked. It finally defeated Zeo, and his Cerberus. "ALRIGHT!" shouted all the bladebreakers except Nikki. Tyson and Ray sent out their blades, for Dragoon and Driger to return to their bit-chips. "Thanks, Nik" Tyson said. "No prob, pal" Nikki said.

"So, who wants to practice?!" Nikki shouted. "Okay!" Everybody replied.
