Chapter 3- A Phoenix to Remember
Kai was up at the crack of dawn as usual the next day. He headed into the bathroom for a shower and 15 minutes later, emerged again all clean and dressed in his usual attire. He grabbed his bag from a dusty corner and stepped out into the hall. It was very quiet, being as no one but him was awake yet. Kai was almost at the front door when he heard his name.
"Kai..." someone called shakely.
Kai turned to look at who it was. A short greyish-blue haired girl was standing at the top of the stairs to the upper floor in pjs. Holding tight onto the railing, the girl desended down the stairs to confront him. Kai gave a small grunt. It was only Sanka.
"Where are you going, Kai?" she asked.
"Hn. I told you I was only staying 'til morning." Kai answered flatly.
Sanka sighed. "Don't you at least want to stay for breakfast with us?" she inquired in a hopeful voice.
"No," Kai said, turning the knob on the door. "I don't..."
"Aw please! Pretty please!" Sanka begged, trying her best to make a puppy face.
Kai had to fight the urge not to laugh at the face she was making. He gave a barely noticable smile. "Oh alright," he finally said.
"YAY!" Sanka cheered, beaming broadly.
"I said I'd stay for breakfast, but it doesn't mean I'll be here afterwards." Kai told her in his monotone of voice.
Sanka frowned. "Oh, don't be such a killjoy!" she grumbled.
Kai didn't say anything. he headed bacl to his dorm and careful not to wake up Koji, put his bag back in the corner. He picked up Dranzer and his launcher and exited again. 'If I'm staying here for awhile, I might as well keep up my practice,' he thought. Sanka was still standing by the door.
"Now where are you going? And what's that?" Sanka pointed at Dranzer.
"My blade," Kai replied. He held out Dranzer to show her. "I'm going to practice," he added.
"Why?" the young girl asked, as if the answer wasn't obivous.
"Well, practice makes perfect," Kai said.
Sanka giggled. "Oops! Silly me. I forgot. Hey, I'll go with you! Wait here!"
Sanka dashed off in the direction of the girls' dorms. She came back a short time later fully dressed in a red T-shirt, blue jeans and sneakers, and holding a purple beyblade in one hand and a deluxe launcher in the other. Waving them in the air, she ran back over to Kai, still smiling broadly.
"And what makes you think you're coming with me?" Kai asked, glaring his scarlet eyes at her.
"Oh, c'mon. It's no fun practicing alone. I'll come with you and give you an opponent." Sanka said firmly.
"Do you think you could really stand a chance against me, kid?" Kai questioned, trying to hide the smirk that was forming on his lips.
Sanka smirked back at him, holding up her blade with a smug expression on her face. "Oh, I think that my Icies and I will give you a match to remember."
Kai nodded. "Ok then! Let's see what you've got!"
"Yeah! Right back at you Kai! Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Sanka grabbed a hold of Kai's arm and tugged him off. She brought him into the garden out back. Kai noticed a stone slanted circle in the middle, which he figured must be the improvised practice beystadium here. The two of them got set at the dish, attached thier blades to their launchers and released.
"Dranzer go!" Kai shouted.
"Icies, show 'em what you've got!" Sanka commanded.
Dranzer attacked first coming around from behind and knocking Sanka's blade for a loop. It nearly got thrown off the edge. Sanka breathed a sigh of relief as it managed to keep spinning. That was close. Dranzer came back around to do the same thing again, but Icies was able to dodge it easily this time. Both blades sped out to the rim of the plate, around twice and back in again, colliding in combat, sending sparks everywhere. Sanka started to panic as her blade started to lose momentum.
'All right, her blade is weakening,' Kai thought. 'Now's the perfect time to strike.' "Dranzer!" he roared," Flame Saber Now!"
With a load screech Dranzer came out of Kai's beyblade. The blade was soon surrounded by flames, the Flame Saber. In a full-on attack, Dranzer ramed in to Icies's balde, sending it flying. Kai smirked. This match was over. Or so he thought.
"Icies recover!" Sanka ordered.
Sanka's blade flashed a dark blue and zoomed back down to the dish, where it landed and kept spinning. Then out came Icies! A white phoenix with blue linings and sliver wings. Kai couldn't really hide his surprise when he caught sight of Icies. It looked almost like Dranzer, but obviously it wasn't power by flames.
"Icies! Sonic Blizzard!" Sanka commanded.
Icies then shot out chips of ice mixing them with wind creating a vortex, and Dranzer was being sucked right into it.
"Quick Dranzer! Spiral Survivor!" Kai cried.
Dranzer put Spiral Surivivor into effect, but not before the ice hit him first. The blizzard froze up Dranzer's wings and he could no longer fly. The vortex and blizzard subsided, leaving Kai's balde frozen to the plate. The ice broke and his blade returned to his hand. The battle was over.
"Great match Kai!" Sanka said. "We'll have to do it again sometime. Put 'er there!"
She held forth her hand for Kai to shake it. Rather relunctantly, Kai did so. He had found a friend and a rival at the same time and her name was Sanka. They smiled and headed inside for breakfast.
