O.k., I admit this is really poor. I apologise profusely and humbly beg your forgiveness. (Quiet sobbing)
Part Three – In which Driamer is identified
"Wow, that was one awesome battle!" Tyson said when he, Ray and Max were walking down the road to Tyson's house, Kitty having left with Hilary and Kenny staying behind to gather more data. As usual Kai had disappeared.
"Did you see the way when they were at the edge of the dish any they knocked each other like BAM and SMACK and …"
"Alright Tyson, enough!" Ray said with a little laugh, "You've missed your house!"
"Oh, see you tomorrow guys, don't be late we need to practice!" he yelled after Max and Ray who continued walking.
"She was good though," Max added thoughtfully. "Her blade matched Kai's perfectly, and I think we were all expecting Kai to win, given that his blades so strong, and then Dranzer's power is incredible. Yet she matched it without even breaking a sweat. What was her bit beast? I didn't recognize its shape."
"It was a Red Panda." Ray saw the confused look on Max's face and explained.
"They're related to racoons. There were some who lived round our village when I was growing up. They're quite shy. My friend looked after a baby one once. It had lost its mother. We looked after it until it was strong enough to give back to the jungle." Ray's voice suddenly sounded thoughtful and distant.
"Was your friend Lee?"
"No, it was Mariah."
And the pair walked on in silence.
Ray thought about Mariah. He missed her a lot. One of the more recent memories stuck out in his mind. She was laughing, her pink hair loose around her. He wondered if she'd ever take him up on his offer to hang out.
There was something about this new girl that reminded him of Mariah. It wasn't her bit-beast or her looks, but there was definitely something.
Okay! I know. It's a lame and almost pointless chapter and I'm unlikely to develop any of it, but I couldn't think of any good follow up and I wanted to update before the exams. Fare thee well good people!
