A/N: I'm back after a long absence. I have been activity challenged, but
now the demons won't leave me alone until I finish my stories, so here we
go.
The new team had five members. One teen had red hair, piercing blue eyes and a glare colder than the winter winds of Siberia. Another teen had lavender hair and eyes with a scowl on his face. One of the other teens had black hair in a low ponytail, cold dark brown eyes with black specks and looked athletically built. He wore a red bandana, a red sleeveless top, black cargo pants, and black tennis shoes. He also wore a silver chain with a red Chinese dragon pendant on it.
This new team walked up to the door and knocked. Gustav answered the door just as Gypsy dropped from a branch in one of the trees in front of Robert's castle. She walked up behind the team whistling, "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" A teen with a large nose turned around glaring at her as Gustav asked them inside.
Everyone was gathered in one of the sitting rooms in the castle when the new team joined them. Robert spoke up saying, "I think we should introduce ourselves, seeing as there are a few new faces among us. I'll start..." Gypsy growled and thought 'I hate when we have to do this'. Johnny says, "Robert, make it short. I don't care to sit your family's entire history again". Robert tried to silence him with a glare.
"Your glares don't scare me, you pompous piece of shit" Johnny declares while glaring back at Robert the same intensity. Enrique tells Johnny to shut up. Robert continues, "My name is Robert Jurgen, I am the descendant of a long line of knights and I was the European champion last year". Oliver spoke next, "I am Oliver, the greatest chef in all of Europe, and I finished in third in the European Championship last year and this year tying with Enrique both times".
Johnny begrudgingly continued the narrative, "I am Johnny Macgregor of the clan Macgregor, the greatest of all the Scottish clans. I am the European champion this year and I plan to stay champ". "I am Enrique, descended from Roman soldiers and a ladies man," said the blond Italian. A teen with black hair that had a slightly bluish cast to it and wearing a floor-length black dress addressed the other bladers, "My name is Drusilla Pietrovich, and I finished in second place at the European Championship with the help of my bit-beast, Arachnilyon. I am from Rumania, a descendant of royalty and I plan to become European champion next year".
Sanquinex took up the torch and said, "I am Sanquinex, a dark creature who resides in shadows and despises the light". "I am Lupinex, a follower of the moon and hunter of the forest," the wolf-like man said. The mummy spoke next, "I am Cenotaph, a pharaoh of Ancient Egypt and follower of the Aton". Zomb continued the introductions, saying, "I am Zomb, the former master of a Cuban sugar plantation, a French criminal, and slave in the colony of Georgia". A man with silver hair and jade green eyes wearing an Edwardian cloak with matching black top hat said, "I am Wraith, the apparition of a once rich and powerful man".
A teen with crimson hair, who is wearing a baseball jersey, chimes in, "I am Michael, the greatest baseball player of all time, and the best blader the world has ever seen". Emily looks at him exasperatedly and says, "You wish, Michael. I am Emily, one of the best bladers/analyzers in the world at this time". "I am Eddie, the best basketball player and a very good blader too" said the African-American teen. The tall, husky teen with a football jersey on said, "I am Steve. I rock on the football field and when I blade".
A Latina teen spoke up, "I am Theresa, I love soccer, and I am no slouch when it comes to blading". "I am Ian," said the teen with the large nose. A teen dressed like a soldier addressed them next, "I am Spencer". Gypsy looked at her watch and then huffed angrily, 'it has already been twenty minutes. I need to train...' she thought. Looking around she saw Kai glaring at her, she rolled her eyes, and continued to listen. "I am Tala and I will be the world champion again," said the teen with piercing blue eyes.
The lavender-haired teen spoke next, "I am Bryan". "I am Blaze," said the teen wearing the red Chinese dragon pendant. A teen wearing a blue phoenix pendant on a silver chain spoke up saying, "I am Ice, a cousin of Mariah and twin sister to Blaze. It's nice to see you again brother, what has it been a year, year and a half since we saw each other last". "It has been about a year, but we can catch up later", Blaze answered.
Lee cleared his throat and then said, "I'm Lee and I will win this tournament". "Whatever Lee. I'm Kevin," said the short, green-haired, violet-eyed teen with his left fang gleaming. A hot pink-haired teen introduced herself next, "I'm Mariah, and I'm happy to be here". The tall bear-like teen spoke up, "I'm Gary". "I'm Rei," said the raven-haired teen with his golden brown eyes shining. A slightly hyper blonde teen said, "I'm Max". The black-haired member of the Bladebreakers said, "I'm Tyson". "I'm Kenny," said the youngest member of the Bladebreakers.
The slate-haired team captain spoke up, "I'm Kai". The Bladebreakers newest member glanced at her watch and then quickly said, "I'm Gypsy Balan". Tyson asked her, "Is that all you are going to tell them? You aren't going to tell them about your two bit-beasts?" Gypsy glared at him, not answering either of his questions. Robert asked the rest of the members of the Bladebreakers, "Does she really have two bit-beasts? How did she get two?" Gypsy looked at him square in the eye and asked, "Why is it any of your business?" She then stood up and walked out of the room. She opened the front door of the castle, walked across the threshold, and then slammed it.
"What's her problem?" Enrique asked. "I don't know" Rei responded. Robert stood and exited the room, intending to check on lunch and then check the cameras to see where this Gypsy girl had stormed off to.
The scent of pine was strong in the forest surrounding Robert's castle. A pair of brown eyes looked up at the castle, their smooth voice saying, "Kai, you will never escape me. I let you live when you were five, but now you are fair game". This person moved off into the forest, blending with the shadows.
The new team had five members. One teen had red hair, piercing blue eyes and a glare colder than the winter winds of Siberia. Another teen had lavender hair and eyes with a scowl on his face. One of the other teens had black hair in a low ponytail, cold dark brown eyes with black specks and looked athletically built.
