UniGirl: Thankiez for the reviews! I love them already! Anyway, there was too much Celestial conversation in the last chapter. I need more…other people. So yeah I'm going to do that. Kai…I love Kai. No really. I talk about him so much that my mum watched beyblade yesterday just to see why I like Kai. Her reply: Elana, you're getting older, and you need to know what's good for you. I don't mind you watching anime, but don't go after cute boys in real life. I, I squealed. My mum thinks Kai is cute! Okay back to the subject. Kai…Kai hints come…
Kai: UNIGIRL
UniGirl: Oh yeah…not supposed to tell you or else he'll kill me. Unless I kill him first.
Kai: Yeah yeah whatever
UniGirl: I don't own beyblade and if I did Kai wouldn't…
Kai: *glarez*
UniGirl: Sorry _

"Wing? Voltaire's granddaughter?"
"She's got the temperament." Said Kane
"How did you know Britt?"
Britt smiled shyly. Maybe telling them wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done. She commented to herself.
"I don't think it's Wing."
"Why Lin?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The Saint Shields were getting ready for their match.
Mariam stared at the mirror at her reflection. They didn't know who they were up against. That was the problem. But there was a great chance that they'd be battling either the Celestials or the Bladebreakers. She smirked. She was going to be in big trouble if Ozuma or Joseph found out what she was up to. She looked at Sharkrash. If things were going to be as planned, then the final match will be the Celestials versus the Bladebreakers. And she was going to make sure that happened.
"What's up sis?"
"Nothing. Just thinking."
"Right. The pairings will be shown in a few minutes."
"Let's go."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I guess we better get going?" asked Ray
"That'd be a good idea." Said Goki.
"Alright."
The Bladebreakers walked out towards the stadium.
"Good luck Ray." Salima said.
"I'll be fine." He said over his shoulder.
Lin looked like she was about to kill her.
"She's a bit immature." Muttered Kane.
Britt chuckled. Kane looked at her, and couldn't help a smile.
Salima saw all of that, and in a whiney mocking voice, she said, "they like each other."
Kane tore his eyes of the girl beside him. "Huh?"
Goki laughed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
An Abbey was walking toward Voltaire's office. He shivered. Voltaire would not like what he had to say. Slowly he knocked.
"Come in."
"Master Voltaire." Then he looked around. "Master Boris, I have bad news."
He could almost see the lines gathering in Voltaire's brow as he said, "Continue."
"I'm afraid Kai Hiwatari is not as dead as we think he is.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Welcome to the semifinal round of the World Championships! Let us introduce our teams: First we have the Saint Shields! Tough bunch to beat. Next we have the infamous Demolition Boys! Beware of brutal attacks on the blader and loss of bit beast."
The Demolition Boys glared at Jazzman, who abruptly started sweating.
"Anyway then we have the Celestials."
"What can we say about them?"
"Nothing. Really mysterious and tough bladers."
"Okay and finally we have two times world champion the Bladebreakers!"
The crowd went crazy.
"Alright, let's pick the pairings."
The Bladebreakers tensed.
"I wonder who we're up against." Mused Ray aloud.
"Doesn't matter. We'll beat them no matter what."
"Not if…" he broke off as his worst fear was confirmed and Jazzman announced that the Demolition Boys will play the Saint Shields in the first block.
"Well this should be interesting." Said Hilary.
"Too bad we won't get to see it." Said Ray as he got up.
"Why?"
"We're training. Right now."
"What?"
"We're good, but not good enough to take on the Celestials."
"Cheer up Ray."
"Fine. But we have to train."
"Okay, okay. Let's go."
Back in the stadium, Jazzman was announcing the rules. "Each chosen player will compete in a best of three match. Afterwards, the team with the most wins advances to the finals. Now let's have our pairings."
Mariam's heart dropped to her stomach. Would Helenia understand? That it's not my fault? But Helenia didn't know. It didn't matter to her. What mattered is that she, Mariam, had failed. And with stakes this high, failing was not an option. I guess I should to my best. And then, maybe she might let me go. But she knew it wouldn't work as soon as the idea sprouted in her head. Helenia wasn't that gullible.
"First, we have Dunga of the Saint Shields versus Spencer of the Demolition Boys. Then we have Mariam of the Saint Shields versus Tomas of the Demolition boys, and finally, Ozuma versus Bryan!" Jazzman announced.
Dunga walked up to the stadium and faced Spencer. They both stood motionless until Jazzman started talking again.
"Okay gentlemen, launchers ready, 3…2…1… LET IT RIP!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"What do you mean he's not dead?" asked another worker.
The first one stammered. Voltaire turned around. "Get out of here until I call you." He ordered. Well, if our boy's shown himself, then that's a very good thing.
******Flashback******
Voltaire watched as the four abbey workers chased Kai on the cliff. It was a few days after he had announced his retirement from the sport of Beyblading official.
"You…Let me talk to my grandfather." Shouted Kai
"As if." One of them shouted back.
"Aargh. Well if you insist. DRANZER" the blade spun at them tearing them apart. Kai ran down the edge of the cliff, only to be stopped by more men.
"What…?" he wondered
"We've got you now, Hiwatari." One of them spat the last word.
Kai kept running down the edge and stopped as others closed in on him from the opposite side. He was cornered. There was one more thing to do. He looked at the forest below him and bent his knees.
Just then a boat came into view in the wide river between the trees. A man looked up and smirked.
"Boris…" Kai whispered.
The man's eyes narrowed. He lit a match and threw it into one the mossy forest ground, and then he cranked the engine and sped away.
Kai looked back. There was a circle of men, each of them about a meter away. Whatever he did, there would be no escape. Then he looked at the flame under him. It had circled and blocked the river off. There was one last hope.
"Dranzer," he whispered and the faithful phoenix flew back to its master. He caught it with one hand, bent down, and, with only the slightest hint of hesitation, jumped.
Voltaire hissed. "You let him get away."
******End Flashback******
I knew he wouldn't be dead. My Kai isn't like that. He'd find a way out of everything.
Boris was first to speak. "Master Voltaire, if you will kindly excuse me, the semifinal round of the championships was due to start five minutes ago."
"You may go. Now why do you think he hasn't died yet?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Both blades flew into the stadium. Dunga growled.
"Attack" screamed Spencer.
"Vortex Ape Attack!" Dunga screamed.
"You really think you can beat me with that?"
"Huh?"
"Seaborg!" the blade spun and hit Vortex Ape, sending sparks all through the stadium. Finally, with a shove, Vortex Ape hit the ground.
"W-What?"
"You lost." Spencer smirked. Then he watched as Dunga picked up his blade shakily and attached it to his launcher.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Boris arrived in time to see that Spencer had just knocked Dunga's blade out of the dish. He smiled and walked out to sit with the team.
"Ready for more?" Spencer asked.
"Yep."
"LET IT RIP!"
The blades clashed once, and another time. Sparks flew everywhere. Dunga shielded his eyes while Spencer just stood there, smirking.
"I…m….gonna….wipe…that…pit…iful…smirk…off…your…face!" screamed Dunga. "Vortex Ape Attack NOW!"
Spencer just stood there as the great monkey bit beast crashed into his blade.
"Seaborg!" he screamed. His whale appeared. The two bit beasts crashed and again, sparks started flying.
"Seaborg Final Attack NOW!"
Seaborg detached itself from Vortex Ape and circled from the other side, crushing the blade into pieces.
"No…" said Dunga weakly.
"And the winner of the first match is Spencer!" announced Jazzman.
Spencer smirked yet again and walked back to the stands. Boris was there to greet him.
"You were too slow." Was all he said. Then. "Come, I need to talk to you."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Argh do you need to be so tough on us?"
"Tyson!"
"Why?"
"Since you refused to train every other day."
"We can beat those wimps without any sweat."
"Really? You were sweating very hard and she still beat you calm as can be."
"She just lucked out."
"Really?"
"yeah."
"We'll still win."
"Just be quiet and continue training."
