##CHAPTER XX##
Untitled
All morning, Tyson had been training with Dragoon, determined to get even with Keisuke and Luminous. He had lost twice to her. Not a good thing if you are the supposed World Champion Blader. Kai, on the other hand, had been staking out Keisuke's daily routine, trying not to be notice, or caught for that matter. Kenny and Dizzi were in deep conversation, analyzing Luminous' attacks, bey-parts and such.
"Go Dragoon!!" said Tyson, watching his white beyblade at full speed, dodging boxes, aluminum cans, and the likes.
Then a familiar blue beyblade collided with Dragoon.
"Huh?" Tyson looked up to spy Kai, arms crossed with a serious face. "Kai! What're you-"
"Training" Kai interrupted sharply. It was obvious that he had to release his stress through blading. "So get ready."
"You're on!" Tyson smirked. "Dragoon!!"
"Dranzer!"
The two sacred bit beasts emerged into view restlessly, anxious to stretch their cooped up body. Dragoon roared thunderously as it swiped its talon claws about. Dranzer was screeching nosily, hovering high above the blue Dragoon.
"Attack!" Tyson issued the first assault.
The white beyblade accelerated steadily, gaining more ground as it pounded the opponent near the edge of the stadium. Dragoon bellowed as it sends the phoenix high into the air.
"Flame saber!" Kai ordered, on the defense.
Fire started to spiral the blue beyblade as it began to descend, heading for the challenger. Dranzer stopped itself in mid air and instigated to pummel down towards the surprised Dragoon.
"Hyper Victory Tornado!" Tyson instinctively summoned.
Whirls of winds started to gather around Dragoon, growing larger as it quicken progressively. Bustles of windstorm collided with the coiled flames of inferno, lashing out a flame-mixed-wind about the stadium.
"Oh, no, Dragoon!"
"Er...Dranzer!"
-Rei-
"Gate 409 departing to Tokyo, Japan. Gate 409 departing to Tokyo, Japan," announced the female attendant over the P.A. (-what does that mean, anyways??)
"Oh, Rei, do you really have to go back to the BladeBreakers?" Mariah asked; hands clutched onto his shirt, face snuggled into his chest.
Rei smiled out of sympathy as he patted her head, nodding. "Yeah, Mariah, I have to. I gotta train with them if I want to win- to prevent BioVolt from succeeding in his plans." Mariah lifted up her head to look at the Chinese boy one last time before his departure.
"Well, I guess we'll be meeting up with you in due time, eh, Rei?" Lee smirked as he slapped Rei's back, causing the pink-haired girl to release her grip on Rei.
"Make sure you get to finals, Rei!" Kevin spoke up, grinning with triumph, "cause you'll see that I've be training really hard! So I'll be one heck of an opponent!"
"Before of all that, take care to get past the pre-limitary round, Kevin!" Rei smiled jokingly.
"Make sure you save food for Gary," Gary said, chuckling at the thought of a table full of Japanese cuisine.
"Last call to Tokyo, Japan. Gate 409 departing to Tokyo, Japan" the female attendant announced one last time.
"Gotta fly!" Rei waved as he hurried off to Gate 409. Reaching to the gate, Rei handed over his passport and was allowed in.
Settling in his assigned seat, Rei kicked back and relaxed, pondering what he was planning to do for the next few hours.
-Kai-
Before he had encountered with Tyson for a battle, Kai was following Keisuke closely but he was eventually caught after 25 minutes.
"You know this game of cat and mouse is really starting to bore me," Keisuke stated, halting to a stop at the corner, waiting to cross the street. She quickly glanced back, catching a glimpse of a pair of grey pants behind a brick red wall. The girl rolled her eyes and said, "I knew you were following me after the first 5 minutes. What do you want? Revenge?"
"I want to know what the Tournament has to do with you" Kai stepped out of his hiding place with arms folded.
"Didn't I say that you'll find out at the Tournament?" Keisuke crossed the streets with her hands in her jacket pocket. Kai started to follow in pursuit but he stopped when an 18-wheeler truck drove by. By the time it was gone, the light blue haired girl was out of sight. He growled, turning around and began to head towards Tyson's place.
-Lyosuke-
The 17-year-old boy slumped back on the armchair after tossing some documents onto the coffee table. He tilted his head to stare at the ceiling for a moment before hunching over the coffee table again, re-reading the files thoroughly.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Lyosuke trudged to the kitchen, picking up the receiver as the vid- screen came on.
SHING!
"What do you want?" Lyosuke asked bluntly.
The figure smiled apathetically as his navy blue eyes harden. "Be prepared today."
The boy cocked up a questioning eyebrow but he finally caught on. He smirked. "Sure thing. Time?"
"Approximately in half an hour," He paused for a moment. "Did you receive Keisuke's report?"
"Yeah, it's on the coffee table," Lyosuke jestered to the living room with his thumb, "was planning to re-read it."
"Alright then." Ken nodded and screened himself out. Lyosuke hung up and turned off the vid-screen. He strolled back to the couch, plopping on it quietly as he sifted through the papers for something. Retrieving it, he examined it.
It wrote:
'Keisuke's Kai/Dranzer Report;
Had battle against Dranzer. Dranzer won. Luminous took minor damage. Kai aware of Tournament; unknown to prize. Remembered Nanashi Shen Long Twins, very wary of Keisuke. Dranzer/Kai has gotten a bit stronger. Not much of threat unless harnessing True Technique, which is a bit. Still unaware to it. Learned new attacks and possibly upgraded bey-parts. Be cautious if angered. Record log-out.
Keisuke's Tyson/Dragoon Report;
Had battle against Dragoon. Luminous won with no damage-Dragoon sustained minor damage. Aware of Tournament-unknown to outcome. Insisted on re-match. Denied. Clueless and very suspicious of Keisuke. Dragoon/Tyson cocky, slightly stronger. Not much of threat. Seems to slightly harness True Technique. Learned new attacks and possible upgrades. Be tolerant if talks too much. Record log-out.'
Lyosuke was only reading the highlights of Keisuke's report, since she tends to be very detailed in her report. Kai and Tyson's information were completed along with biological data on their Bit Beasts. However, the same cannot be said for Max and Rei's part. The boy pondered for awhile, wondering if...
He quickly got up and went to the vid-phone, punching in some numbers.
"Ken?"
"Yes?"
"Would it be possible to send Keisuke and Luminous to complete the unfulfilled assignment of Daisuke and Shadows?"
Ken thought about it for a while. "One moment." Ken left Lyosuke on hold for a few minutes and then returned. "Why not? If the Slayers or Daisuke fail to return Shadows, then we can always be certain Keisuke will get it done."
"Yeah. Send her a notification about it."
"Already done. Anything else?"
"Yeah."
"What is it?"
"Can I demolish the traitors?"
"Certainly. After the Tournament."
"Bastard."
Ken screen himself out while Lyosuke did the same.
Kenny
"Dizzi, we have to figure out why is Luminous and Shadows are so strong!" Kenny urged as he started to pound away at typing.
"Hey, easy on the keys, Chief!" Dizzi complained as she 'felt' the burn. "Anyways, I can't seem to pinpoint the main source for all its power."
"Why not??"
"The aura of power is too scattered to be analyzed thoroughly."
"Can't we find some sort of reference that's close to the source?"
"I did that but I keep ending up with the same results, Chief!"
"Well, then, what is it??!"
"The bladers themselves."
"I see...So they already learned to use that sort of technique?"
"But it seems to be just more than that, Chief."
"Dizzi?"
"Much more than feeling and receiving the damage....it includes their life force."
"What?!"
-Tyson and Kai-
Both bladers looked on surprised mixed with disappointment. Kai retrieved his blade from outside the dish while Tyson reclaimed his Dragoon on the edge of the stadium.
"Good match, Kai!" Tyson grinned, teeth sparkling. Kai nodded in agreement and trudged elsewhere where he could train some more.
They both couldn't wait for the Tournament. And frankly, I don't think anybody would expect for what would come of it.
Lyosuke: Oh, Kami-sama, put a lid on it!
Keisuke: At this rate, she'll drown the whole world.
Daisuke: Possibly the universe!
Raikou: AR please come back soon! Raiju thinks MK will be depressed until AR come back!!!
