Unigirl: Okay I'm back really quickly. This chap is so fast thanks to Hong because he/she gave me two reviews telling me to hurry up. Yes. Oh as a note if you are sending an anonymous review tell me if you're a boy or a girl unless it is totally obvious. So now quit the dallying lets get on to the chapter. One more thing. If either Ice Archer Girl or anyone who I have reviewed and said it was great please update. I NEED TO READ FANFICS SO I CAN WRITE FANFICS. Last note: [did I say the last one was last?] for Hong and other people, don't expect me to write so fast in the future. It is because this was a very relaxing weekend for me and that rarely ever happens. So anyway. Thanks a lot to Britt for her character, and I do love the bit beast girl. Thanks LOVE YA. Anyway I won't be able to update often because I will be collaborating with Feya on a fic. No it's not beyblade. It's Phantom of the Opera so if any of you are interested follow the link on one of Feya's numerous reviews and check it out. No I don't like POTO but I can't miss this chance to tease one of my classmates. So basically if I GET THE M.A.P., then it's not going to have a lot of POTO in it but knowing Feya she's going to go crazy anyway…I have weird friends, really weird friends. So now you're all dying to read on so I'll stop this blabber
"But…"
"But nothing."
"You never knew him."
"You never knew him well."
"She has a point there."
"Driger you're on my side."
"He's just stating the truth."
"Drolcyan, I can manage without you."
"Thanks for the support."
"You're welcome."
Ray and Lin were on the balcony again. Talking. Ray was worried. In the last few days, he had tried to push the topic into the back of his mind. But it was here again. Why had Kai left? He always knew Kai was cold and rude, but Ray had never doubted Kai's loyalty. He was always there when they needed him. And Driger couldn't make contact with Dranzer. Drolcyan tried too, and she couldn't either. That meant that Dranzer had sealed herself off, or been unable to speak. Was Kai kidnapped? Back in BioVolt? Was Dranzer taken? All these questions swam in Ray's head.
"One at a time, Ray" He spun around. Standing behind him was a tall boy…well you wouldn't exactly call him a boy when he was over a thousand years old…but he sure looked like a boy. Next to him was a girl…also over a thousand years old…but a girl just the same.
"Who's that?" asked Lin
"That's Yaleri, my Guardian." Replied Driger.
"So that's the Guardian of Earth." She nodded.
"You appear at the right times, you do." Said Ray cautiously. The Guardians were unpredictable. The only thing he could trust about them, was that they never lied.
"Your troubles, Ray, poison the air. It is even hard to breathe." Replied the girl.
"Nonsense Eltila."
"What's troubling you?"
"You know already, don't you?" he asked Yalari.
"Of course I know. It is only polite to ask."
"Can I ask a question?" Drolcyan butted in, "Have I just became an inanimate object?"
Eltila glared at Drolcyan. Even though she was a bit of a troublemaker, Drolcyan still had respect for her Guardian.
"Have you heard of the Celestial blading team?"
The two looked at each other. "Yes." Yaleri said. "they are very dangerous."
Lin watched and withdrew into a corner.
"What of Kai Hiwatari? You know him?"
Eltila smiled. "Yes, I know him. Have my word that he is in good hands."
Ray relaxed a bit. "And what of his bit-beast Dranzer?"
"With Kai."
"Then why did he resign?"
"That is his privacy, not for me to tell."
Ray nodded. Once Eltila settled on something, she would not tell.
"When will the Guardians be back?"
"When you feel them."
"exactly?"
Yaleri smiled mysteriously. "When the time is right."
He gave up.
"well, I guess both me and Lin and Driger have become inanimate objects."
Yaleri turned to Drolcyan. "Keep butting in and I will personally make sure you are an inanimate object."
Now Drolcyan was scared.
"Will Kai ever come back to Blading?"
"If he chooses."
That was the problem with them. They would never give straight answers. What he knew was that Kai was safe and with Dranzer. That was all. And he had to believe it.
"Listen. I told one of my team mates…Max…"
"You what?" asked Lin suddenly
Eltila addressed Ray, "Continue"
So Ray recalled the night with Max. After his story was finished, Lin and Drolcyan were staring at him incredulously, and Yaleri was nodding slightly. Eltila had no expression on her face.
"It's okay," Yaleri said finally, "Many know already. It is not much of a secret. That does not mean you have to blabber, but there is little serious damage done."
"Okay, one more thing…" but they had left.
"RAY IS THAT YOU???" a pink haired girl flung herself onto Ray and squeezed hard.
"Stop it Mariah."
"Yeah you'll strangle him someday," said a cold voice behind her. Mariah spun around.
"Lin? What are you doing here?"
"She's the newest Bladebreaker." Replied Hilary
"SHE WHAT??"
"She is the newest Bladebreaker." Kenny repeated.
"Cool it you two," said Lee.
"Nice to meet you, Lee. How's it going?"
"Fine, I guess."
Meanwhile, Mariah and Lin glared at each other.
Tyson broke the silence. "I'm hungry." He whined.
Everyone laughed except Tyson, who said, "What?"
Then Gary stopped laughing. "Okay, Let's eat."
Hilary dragged Tyson over to a corner by his ears. "We've got to train."
Ray chuckled. "Let the kid have some fun."
So as Tyson and Gary had an eating contest, Ray was trying to get some extra space so that he could talk to Lin. But Mariah wouldn't let him. It was chaotic.
The celestials smiled. All of the bladers were getting together. All the mages too. Perfect.
"Um…hi Ray," said another voice while Mariah was leaning onto him. Ray turned.
"Who's that?" asked Mariah
"Hi Salima. It's been a while."
"Right it has. Tyson might be so bloated he wouldn't be able to beybattle."
"Nonsense, Kane."
"Where are Goki and Jim?"
"Goki is coming. And you're not the only team with a new blader."
"Oh, this is Lin." Lin smiled at the boy.
"Who's your new blader?"
A girl poked her head from behind Kane. She had blonde hair with brown streaks.
"Britt??" asked Max,
Britt smiled shyly.
Max went up to her. "You haven't changed much"
She shook her head.
"C'mon get over with the shyness."
She smiled.
"So you know Britt?" asked Kane.
"Yup, she's my cousin."
"Hmmm…."
"I never knew you could blade Britt,"
"Of course how could I just stand and watch you have all the fun?"
"Well…"
The Celestials were training again. [A/N do they ever do anything else?] Storm had his white blade clash against Flame's blue one. Wing shook her head a bit. Storm had launched his blade a bit off spin. This was not looking as well as she had wanted it to. Aqua, beside her, was probably the most carefree blader, but of course she knew when to get serious.
After a while, they sat down around a table.
/How'd it go?/
/Ignorant./
/stupid kid./
/well he isn't really that stupid./
/Storm is/
/Aqua…/
/you're no better than Bro/
/Well you're bro isn't even special. He technically isn't your brother./
/…/
/So Wing, have you gotten everything sorted out?/
/yup. Actually you all did it for
/you know you are very talkative?/
/I know except that we aren't technically talking./
/good Flame, you're starting to joke. But we need to get Wing in the circle./
/Just leave her alone./
/ooh talk about protecting her./
/shut up./
/but like Flame said, we're not talking./
/doesn't matter./
/Let's go pay the kittens a visit now./
/Fine/
"So have you heard of the new team Kane?"
"Yeah, they're called the Celestials, aren't they?" asked Salima.
Ray gave her a smile. Lin glared at her and Mariah managed to glare at both of them at the same time. "Yes."
"Have you even met them?"
Tyson was stuffing his face before he spat it back out. "Met them? We've even beybattled them and they were a bunch of armatures. But somehow they lucked out even with Dragoon's phantom hurricane and the blade landed on top of him, but that was a lucky coincidence."
"Tyson, clean that up," said Hilary looking at the plate of half chewed up food.
Kenny replayed the recording of the battle to the White Tigers and the Psychics.
After looking through it sombrely, Lee remarked, "That was no coincidence, She has skill."
"I have to admit, for a girl, that's pretty good."
Mariah couldn't resist. "What's wrong with girls?"
Britt laughed a bit. Max used to be like that when they were young. Then she looked at her captain again. He was sweet…cute…everything she wanted in a boy. She shook her head. Kane would date Salima a million years before he dated her. Besides, he wasn't the type.
Kane, on the other hand, kept silent until the little conversation was over. Then he said one word. "Leniah"
Ray, Mariah, and Lin turned to look at him tentatively. The others looked puzzled.
He saw them and then winked. "Oh sorry, I realized I was speaking a different language…anyway I was saying that it was weird."
Tyson looked like he was going to but in, but Ray cut him off. "It's okay. Anyway, I didn't realize that you could speak a different language."
Kane smiled. "I know bits and pieces…"
He stopped and looked around.
Tyson looked behind him. "Oh, it's you again." He said.
The rest of them turned around and saw nothing.
As they broke up, Ray mouthed to Mariah and Kane, "My room. Tonight."
"Nice thinking there."
"it's okay."
"How long have you been a mage, Kane, you've got a mighty weird accent."
"Well I dropped off in the incident with our team and yours, Ray, and then I came back in. Helenia was not very happy with me."
"Helenia?"
"the water guardian."
"Oh."
"So what did you want to talk about?"
Drolcyan had enough of watching. "Us bit beasts have feelings you know."
Lin glared. "Shut up birdbrain."
Drolcyan shut up.
"I was thinking, maybe the Celestials are actually the Shadow hunters."
"WHAT??" all four of them were shocked.
Mariah came to her senses first. "Uh no."
Then Lin said thoughtfully, "It could be. I mean, they obviously represent an element, those names are obviously not their real names, and they do meet the danger requirements."
"Right."
"Or…" Kane said hesitantly,
"What?"
"Or they could be the Guardians."
"No way." All of them, even the bit beasts, said.
Max then knocked on the door. "hi."
Everyone jumped.
Then Mariah started asking Ray something in that language.
"He knows."
Everyone stared at Ray.
Max knew he had really bad timing. He ran back to bed. Draciel made sure he was asleep. Personally.
Aqua cupped her hand over her jewel Her bit chip glowed with it. Her fish like bit beast rose out of the chip and joined the others. A unicorn. A bird. And a dragon. The tournament was drawing nearer and nearer. And they were looking forward to it
Unigirl.
Phew. Okay I'll try to update every weekend. That's a promise. Otherwise, I'm very busy. PLEASE I NEED BIT BEASTS!!!! READ AND REVIEW! PS. Sorry if all the characters are ooc. I've got a problem with that since I didn't see much of season one and I didn't read decent eppy guides so if uve seen a good website with good eppy guides tell me. I've already seen beyblade.com and tvtome. It's not very helpful. Oh, and Britt doesn't belong to me.
Feya:………O.O STOP FLAMING ME! flames Feya's fic that doesn't exist
Britt: So how is she so far? Kane's a sweetie. I know. Hugs KaneI Love Ya Too.
Nessi: Well, you'll have to wait to see what happened with Kai. It's at the end of the fic. The end. And so it'll be a while. Unless I get more reviews. Then I'll reconsider. I know, I'm evil. Here I'll tell you he's somewhere safe and he's got Dranzer with him.
Hong: Sorry about that but I really am not spilling the beans yet. Nope. Kai comes out at the end of the fic but if you reread the fic so far you should be able to figure it out. If you're smart. All the pieces are here.
l.m.o.e.: I'm sure it's not that bad…I've been busy but I do want to read it. Yeah. Glad you like it.
