Gypsy walked back into the castle after being alone for an hour and
proceeded to look for Robert. She looked in the sitting everyone had been
gathered in, the kitchen, and then turned to head toward Robert's training
room when she walked around a corner bumping into Kai.
The phoenix said, "You shouldn't get so pissed, Tyson is an idiot and doesn't think before he says something. You should have realized that by now". "I know, but he got lucky that time," Gypsy told him. "If you are looking for Robert, he is playing chess with Johnny in a drawing room down the hall," Kai told her. "Thanks Kai, you are truly patient" Gypsy as she continued on her way.
Robert says, "Checkmate" and Johnny asks, "Want to play again? It is now best 5 out of 7". "Okay Johnny, last time today" Robert answers. Gypsy knocks on the door and waits for a reply from inside. "Come in" Robert says. Gypsy walks in with her head bowed down and asks, "May I speak with you for a moment, privately?" Robert looks up at her and responds, "Yes, you may". Robert stands up and guides Gypsy back into the hallway, closing the door.
"I am sorry for my outburst earlier, it is just Tyson makes me so mad. I have only known him for about a week and I haven't learned to ignore him yet" Gypsy tells him. Robert looks her over and then asks, "Do you really have two bit-beasts?" "Yes I do, I just didn't want everyone to know right away" Gypsy answers him. "Would you like a battle?" Robert asks and Gypsy quickly responds, "Sure". Robert walks back into the room and in about a minute puts Johnny in checkmate again.
"Johnny, you want to come watch me beybattle Gypsy?" Robert asks the fiery Scot. "Sure, I would love to see how pathetic she is, she is probably worse than Tyson" Johnny tells Robert as they exit the room. Gypsy follows Johnny and Robert to the training room.
The battle is very intense as Zorro battles against Griffolyon, Gypsy wanted to test Zorro against another very strong bit-beast besides Shi-Wei. Gypsy was sitting cross-legged on the left side of the dish and Robert was standing on the other with Johnny leaning against the wall between them. With her eyes closed she listens to the blades spin, feels how they spin, and can even detect the scent of the bit-beasts.
Zorro was slowing down, but not as quickly as Griffolyon. The Griffin stayed spinning long enough for both blades to stop at the same time. Gypsy then picked up her black and blood red blade, telling Zorro how well he had done against such a formidable opponent. She walked around the dish to shake Robert's hand and tell him what a great match he and Griffolyon had given her. Johnny says, "You went easy on her, Robert". Robert turned to Johnny and spoke in his calm manner, "No, I did not".
Just as an argument was about to erupt between the two boys, Gustav came over the castle wide intercom and told everyone that lunch is served.
Everyone sat down at the table and started to dig into the food that was laid before them. Ice and Blaze sat next to each other and whispered things back and forth. They all cleaned their plates, Tyson about three times before everyone else got one done. Everyone went their separate ways until it was time for supper. Theresa caught up with Drusilla and asked to speak with her.
"What is it like being on one of the world's best teams?" Theresa asked Drusilla. Drusilla answered, "It is alright, but I don't particularly care for Enrique's womanizing ways and Johnny is always foul-tempered. What is it like for you?" Theresa thought about it for a second and answered, "It's a good team except Michael, Steve, and Eddie are too cocky. I would have thought they would have humbled themselves a little after losing to the Bladebreakers last year, but they are just as cocky".
"What was it like growing up in Rumania? I bet it was pretty interesting," Theresa asked. "I loved it, all the trees, the way the land looked when covered with snow, and I was able to train in different conditions" Drusilla responded. "You can just call me Dru, how did you like growing up in America?" Dru asked Theresa. "Just call me Resa, all my friends do. Growing up in America is a unique experience, I was able to play soccer, blade and do whatever I wanted, my mother was busy trying to provide for our family when Judy spotted me blading and saw the potential I had. It made things easier on my mom to not have to feed another mouth and I can see her whenever I want".
"Do you want to have a battle?" Dru asked Resa. "I'd love too" Resa responded. They stood up and went to opposing sides of the clearing they had been sitting in and launched their blades. They were going at it fiercely when it started to rain. The rain got heavier and started to really soak the two bladers. "It looks like we got rained out" Resa said. "Yeah, it does. Let's head back to the castle" Dru responded.
Ice and Blaze sat on a window seat in the formal living room. "Do you like blading with the Demolition Boys?" Ice asked Blaze. "Yeah, they are pretty good bladers, but it isn't the same as blading with you" Blaze told her. Blaze asked, "What have Mariah and the other White Tigers been up to?" Ice answered, "Training, playing pranks on everyone in the village, and just generally having a good time".
"It is storming again, just like that night. That is the reason I went to their bedroom, I was scared of the lightning, and I found them dead," Kai said while staring out the window at the raging tempest. A figure crept through the shadows in his room until they were behind him. "What do you want Tala?" Kai asked.
"I just wanted to see how you were doing, I was right, you are thinking of how your parents died again" the blue-eyed teen answered. "That is in the past and you are alright," Tala told him. "No, it isn't in the past. Their killer is after me now and probably everyone else here," Kai said. Tala turned Kai toward him and pulled him into his strong arms, "Don't worry Kai, I won't let them get you" Tala vowed. "Thanks Tala, you always were a great friend" Kai told the wolf while hugging him.
