UniGirl: Well I'm Back!!!
AND I'VE GOTTEN REVIEWS!!! hugz Okay love you all!!!
I'll try not to do too much dialogue here…hehe but as you will see it doesn't work. I think I'm just a dialogue person.
Max woke up a few hours later. He looked over at Ray. He was awake already, probably on the balcony or something. A few minutes later, Ray emerged from the washroom, fully dressed, and Max took his turn. Afterwards, they went to check on Tyson and Kenny.
Ray went first, softly knocking on the door. They waited, and after a moment, a lock clicked and the door swung open. They looked in to see the smiling face of Hilary.
"Morning Ray, Morning Max."
Ray looked at her for a moment, and then called into the room. "Guys you've got five minutes and Mr. Dickinson's going to pick us up. If you haven't figured out already, we're getting a new team mate."
Tyson looked at Ray. "What about breakfast? I want…"
Max cut him off. "I wouldn't do that if I were you, the kitty's in a bad mood today."
Tyson sulked. Ray went off back to his room, while Max stayed in Tyson's room.
They know nothing of what I'm going through, Nothing. They don't know how it's like to have the weight of the world upon your shoulders. They don't know how hard it is for me to keep this secret. They don't know what it's like to work with allies without knowing who they really are. Ray thought. There were good times they had together. All of them. They were all gone now.
It seemed like forever until he heard a knock on the door, and the rest of the Bladebreakers came in, Tyson looking extremely annoyed.
"Okay. I've ordered breakfast already, and Mr. Dickenson said we can have it in the car."
"What are we having?" asked Tyson.
"Sandwiches. I ordered two for you."
"That's not enough."
Hilary nudged him in the ribs. "Here he comes."
A black van pulled into the driveway, and the Bladebreakers got in. They ate and talked about the upcoming tournament, and Max kept on stealing nervous glances at Ray. The Chinese blader brightened up a bit after hearing some of Tyson's wisecracks.
The van stopped in front of Mr. Dickenson's office. One by one, the Bladebreakers went in, greeted with a smile.
"Good morning, boys." He said, and after receiving a glare from Hilary, he added, "and girl." Then he continued, "As you are aware, you will be receiving a new team mate."
Hilary couldn't help herself. "I hope it's a girl."
Tyson smirked. "Girls can't beybattle…"
A sharp voice cut through Tyson's "And who told you that?"
Tyson turned around. Hilary had been right. The door was open and there stood a girl. She was Chinese, with brown eyes. Her black hair was sleek and tied in a tight bun, and her clothes were much like Ray's: A white shirt with blue streaks, and a long skirt/pants thing that fell to her feet. Her gloves were a deep shade of purple.
The Bladebreakers had obviously noticed the clothing similarities between the two. They looked from Ray to the new girl, and then back to Ray again. It took him a while to get back to his senses enough to speak.
"Lin?"
"Thought you'd forget me after…what…two years?"
"And they let you go?"
"And the elders let you go? Mind you, they didn't really care. You've got their tiger. Me, I've got nothing of value to them. I mean, what's a dove doing in the White Tiger Village?" She emphasized the words "White Tiger."
Max broke them off. "You know her?"
"Yes. She was another one of the girls back home. She's Lin."
"And you're the Bladebreakers."
"Yep we are." Said Kenny with a grin.
"So we'll leave you all on your own now." Mr. Dickinson cut in.
"All right Mr. D."
"Why did Mr. D put a girl on our team?" Tyson muttered to Kenny.
Lin had heard that. "And may I ask what the matter with girls are?"
"They seem to hear everything."
"That's a good thing or a bad thing."
Tyson crossed his arms. "You decide for yourself."
"Cool it you two. You've only met each other for about thirty minutes and you're fighting already." Said Kenny.
"It's not my fault he's such an idiot."
"Who are you calling an idiot?"
"See? He can't even tell an insult from a compliment."
"Lin, please calm down. You can show him what you're worth in the beystadium."
"Fine. Ray. Like you know what being honourable means."
"I don't Lin, I just don't want you to go crazy."
"Last time I checked, you told me I was crazy."
"Last time I checked, I was perfectly fine without you butting into my life."
"So it's out. You really do like Mariah."
"I DO NOT!" Ray got on his feet
"Right." Lin rolled her eyes sarcastically.
"Lin I can still kick you off the team if I want to."
"Who will be your spare? Huh?"
"Anyone. NOT YOU."
"Would you two stop arguing already?"
"Good idea Max. Ray looks really freaky when he turns into a cat."
Ray sat down, fuming with rage.
Lin took out her blade, which cast an invisible glow over her.
"Thanks Drolcyan," she whispered.
As it turned out, Lin wasn't trash talking.
"LET IT RIP!" screamed Tyson. Lin followed suit.
"Dragoon attack."
"Drolcyan dodge it."
Lin's purple blade moved out of the way as Dragoon closed in.
"You can run but you can't hide."
"Really? Drolcyan!" The blade moved swiftly towards a rock and collided.
"Where'd it go?" asked Tyson.
"Dragoon go find it."
Lin snickered. "Drolcyan final attack!"
Drolcyan attacked.
The blade landed on top of Dragoon and, after lowering its rpm greatly, it jumped off and smashed it from the side.
"Wow."
"Drolcyan can keep her balance for a long time."
"Yeah."
"Dizzi?"
"That is one hot blade."
"Uh huh. Anything else?"
"She's a good blader."
"Thanks for stating the obvious."
"Hey."
"Okay then."
"Fine." Then Dizzi started talking in terms that no one understood.
"Dizzi, English please?"
"Ohh…wittle Ty poo cant understand Engwish.."
"SHUT UP LIN!"
Ray sighed. It was going to be a long day.
The four blades gnawed at each other before flying back to their owner's hands. The four bladers were more than pleased. They had been powerful on their own. Now, together, they were invincible.
Their jewels glinted in the sunlight. Four of them.
They were the Celestials, after all.
Storm had always done their training. He always will. He was vigorous, tough, everything. Most of all, though, he was effective. His reddish-brown hair had an "up" hairstyle, and he was the only member who wore his jewel underneath his shirt.
/Okay./ He looked at his watch. /Lunch time. You want to go to the park or something?/
/Fine./ Aqua responded. /You know it would sound weird coming from your mouth./
/Wisecracks sound weird coming from YOUR mouth./
/Okay let's just get going you people/
All three of them turned to look at Flame.
"What?"
/That was certainly weird./
/You know we've only been together for about a night, we don't know each other as well as we used to. People change all the time./
/Typical of Wing, always and forever sensible./
/…/
"So what do you say for a picnic?" asked Ray. He winked at Lin.
"YEAH!" cried Tyson. Then he started listing his favourite foods, being interrupted by Hilary, who put a hand over his mouth.
"Shut up Tyson. And stop spitting into my hand." She washed her hands abruptly.
So the four of them took the bus to the park. It wasn't exactly close, but Tyson kept on complaining he didn't want to walk.
"Good thing Kai's not here," commented Ray.
"Yeah," said Max, "He'd make us walk…wait run…to the park."
Kenny was furiously typing on Dizzi. It wasn't until during the ride that the rest of the Bladebreakers found out what he was doing.
"Hey! I got the stats on the Celestials!" he exclaimed.
"Really?" asked Lin, "Let's see."
"Well, it's just as useful as not knowing," commented Dizzi, "They don't even have their last names."
"What???" asked Tyson incredulously.
"And there's nothing on bit beasts either." Said Kenny.
"But maybe they don't have bit beasts." Remarked Lin, earning a glare of confusion from Ray.
Everyone looked at Ray.
"I really don't know."
"Well, let's see what we have, chief," said Tyson.
"Right. Okay there are two boys and two girls."
"What??" asked Tyson.
"You deaf or what?" said Hilary, "Go on, Chief."
"Okay. So the first one's Storm…"
"What kind of name is that?"
"Shut up Ty."
A picture of Storm popped up.
"What else?"
"Nothing else on him."
"Huh?" asked Lin.
"Nothing at all."
"Secretive."
"Then there's Aqua," The picture of the navy haired girl popped up onto the screen. "Nothing else on her either."
"Uh Huh."
"Flame," Another picture.
"Let me guess, nothing else." Said Tyson. [A/N he's got one of those funny faces on.]
"How did you know?" asked Dizzi sarcastically. "Finally there's the one that we know most about. Her name's Wing." A picture.
"And?" asked Ray.
"She's the captain."
"That's it?" Hilary asked incredulously.
Kenny shook his head. "I guess we'll be able to figure it out when we get to the tournament."
"In the meantime, let's enjoy ourselves!" Tyson shouted as he bounded off the bus and into the park.
Flame looked out into the grassy fields. There were children running and playing, carefree and innocent. He suddenly felt the strong urge to join them.
/What are you doing, Flame?/ asked Wing
Flame shook his head. Typical of her to interrupt his private thoughts. He took out his blue blade. /Nothing. Want to beybattle?/
Wing nodded. /You're on. It's been a while since we've done it one on one./
Flame agreed. They had been separated for a very long time…longer than anyone would have guessed.
The two facing each other, took out their launchers.
Wing looked at her friend. /before we start, Aqua, please have your blade ready. Flame might screw and get a bit…enthusiastic./
Flame glared at Wing.
They spoke in unison, "3…2…1…LET IT RIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!"
The blue and white sprang out of the launchers, circling each other before attacking. It wasn't long before a small crowd came to watch the two experts.
Flame looked at his blade and sent a message to his bit beast.
Wing saw the blade steadily increasing spin. She sent her blade flying in the opposite direction, surrounding it.
The spectators didn't know what was going on. This was one of the quietest beybattle there ever were.
The Bladebreakers finished eating their lunches…except Tyson, who insisted to eat more. Suddenly, something caught Lin's eye. She tapped Ray on the shoulder
"That looks like a beybattle."
All of the Bladebreakers looked up. Surely enough, there was a small crowd, but they couldn't see the beyblades.
"Let's check it out," said Hilary.
And they ran toward the crowd, which parted as they came. There were two blades, one blue and one white, crashing against each other. Then they looked at the bladers. Kenny gasped. "It's the Celestials!" he whispered.
Suddenly, the crowd leaped back. The blue blade had just set the grass around it on fire. The white haired girl, Wing, started to talk.
"Flame, I knew you would do that," a blue haired girl sitting on a nearby picnic table said. Then she launched her blade, and it circled the flames for a few seconds before flying back into her hands.
"thanks. Now, let's finish this," the boy cried
They spoke in unison, "ATTACK"
The blades rushed at each other, both flying up into the air. One was able to land on its base. Tyson gasped. The girl was a very experienced blader. The other one, though, landed on its side and its RPM dropped to zero.
Kenny had that all recorded. It was better than nothing. Before he could stop him, Tyson rushed out to the girl.
"I challenge you to a beybattle."
Wing laughed. "I really don't want to waste my time." She continued walking away.
"Hey, who do you think you are? This is a World Champion you're talking about!"
She looked at her team mates.
The brown haired one, Storm, sneered. "This kid needs some confidence shattered."
"Go on, Wing, it won't take long."
She turned to face Tyson.
"Okay."
They set their launchers.
Wing remained silent as they launched their blades.
Kenny was typing on Dizzi, who remarked, "she's a girl, a pretty good one at that."
Ray, Max and Lin watched from the sidelines.
The two blades flew into action. Dragoon headed straight for the attack, but the other blade, Wing's, easily dodged out of the way. It happened for a few more times until:
Tyson summoned his bit beast. "DRAGOON ATTACK!"
This time, Dragoon met its mark. The white blade flew up into the air as Tyson put on a smirk.
Dizzi lowered his spirits a bit, "Don't be so sure of victory, Tyson. I don't know much about her but she isn't ready to lose."
Tyson looked at the girl to see that Dizzi was right. She was smiling pleasantly as the blade flew above her head and started falling downward.
"RAPID SPIN!" she ordered. The white blade spun very quickly, and leaned onto an angle.
"Tyson watch out!" warned Ray, but it was too late. Wing's blade fell right on top of Dragoon. The bit beast was confused. Then the blade jumped off, after lowering Tyson's RPM greatly. She knocked the blade right out of the dish. Wing's blade circled the dish twice before flying back into its owner's hand.
"That was pathetic." She sneered. Then she walked toward the parking lot.
Ray called out, "Wait!"
The four of them turned. Then Flame asked, "What?"
Ray looked at him, surprising the Bladebreakers. Wing was all they were interested in, and Ray was interested in Flame.
He asked him "What's your name?"
The Bladebreakers were surprised. The Ray they knew had a good memory. It was just on the bus that they had learned.
Not Lin. Lin knew exactly what Ray was doing. And she didn't plan to tell the Bladebreakers.
The boy glared at him. Well, it wasn't really a glare because Ray couldn't see his eyes, but he could feel the coldness.
"Call me Flame."
"Flame," Ray repeated. "So that's not your real name?"
Lin smiled at the boy. He was wise not to offend Flame, but they seriously needed to know.
Flame sent a message to Wing, /Let me guess, he's a Mage./
/How'd you know?/ she replied sarcastically.
Flame turned his attention to the task at hand. "Flame is one of my many names."
With that, the boy turned and walked away, followed by the rest of the team. When they got to the edge of the park, he took out a walkie-talkie and spoke into it. Within seconds, a black limousine drove up to them and they got in.
Ray turned to Lin. "What was that all about?" Max inquired.
"I really don't know," replied Ray. "Maybe I had just imagined it, but when they were blading…" he broke off.
"What?" asked Kenny,
"when they were blading, Wing and Flame, for a second there, just before the end, Flame's blade looked strangely like…like…" he broke off a second time.
"Like what?" asked Tyson
"Like Dranzer." Replied Ray simply.
The Bladebreakers stared.
Back in their mansion, Aqua was watching a bowl of water. Water had reflective qualities, and was just perfect for scrying. And Aqua controlled the element of water. She was watching the Saint Shields. They were in Japan, too. But she was most interested in Mariam. They were having a conversation. After moving along different subjects, they rested at the Bladebreakers. Then Aqua had a fleeting memory. Setting the bowl down she sprinted to Storm's room and knocked.
The door swung open. Wing was already there, talking to him. About the same subject she was questioning. That tiger. He was a tricky one.
/He suspected, didn't he?/
/Yes./
/This could result in a tight spot for us./
/obviously./
/The problem is, we can't lie. He knew that./
/that the Celestials are back?/
/Not exactly./
/he's close./
/and that friend of his, she's also a Mage./
/A Mage of Air. Her talent is a very useful one in this situation. She senses magic/
/yes./
/still…/
she straightened up. Then she spoke. "Aqua, you are to stay here with Flame. Storm and I are going for a little visit tonight."
/where?/
She just smirked.
Maxies Gurl Zoe: You do?? Well…there's all sorts of people. Your faves are some of my least fave characters…I didn't bash her that bad, did I?
Nessi: I WANT KAI TOO! Well Kai's in this fic but he plays a big part in the end. He affects the whole outcome. Even more than ray. Can I use your character, change the name a bit…maybe just like Thomas…? Oh the bit beast is too close to Wyborg, No matter. I've got a bit beast for him…thanks Tell me what you think!
BRITT: I LOVE U TOO GIRL!! Well Bryan's going to be REALLY evil in this fic even though I don't hate him. So it's not a good idea. He's just as bad as Ian. Maybe worse. And he wont have many lines. What about Kane? I still can't find a pair for him [not Salima] and I was planning on taking Jim out and putting Britt in. The name's great! The Bladebreakers are full…sorry… if you had done it before I came up with Lin, fine. Not now. THANKS I LOVE U GIRL
Droopy [numbers I forgot]: What I meant was after Kai and Dranzer did the thing, you switched to first person, and I was thinking, who is that first person…I get hyper too, don't worry.
Chris: Yeah it could be longer…lolz…but I can't seem to write long chapies…WAAA
Rinnalaiss Turegwaithen: Ya u saved me bigtime. And yeah, that's a
good thing. Thanks 4 putting me on your faves! I feel special
Lady Juriana of Phoenix Region: You've got a lot of fanfics. anyways whatever
happened to short little names?? Don't take it personally I'm a very lazy
speller. And I still haven't got your six versions figured out yet. It'll take
me some time
Ice Archer Girl: U REVIEWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Sorry I'm a bit
hyper. U know it's ironic that you're the one complaining about the time it
takes to read it and you're asking for longer chaps. Thanks for the advice
though. I have trouble writing long chaps. Maybe I'll compensate by writing
more often.
