Hey ppl! Okay let's make this as quickly as possible! Forgive me for not writing for like aeons! I went back to my home country after 7 years! Yea they don't exactly have computers there much and even if they do they have power failures every minute or so. Anyways let's begin!

When Kai reached out on the bed to find Liya, his hand met with the cold sheets. He shook himself awake wondering where she was. Frowning Kai wondered if she regretted last night. Grabbing some clothes, he slipped them on and headed out the bedroom after a cold shower. It was the Italian Tournament day. Kai looked in the practice room and found his teammates and Liya laughing and warming up for the upcoming battle. When Liya found his eyes, she smiled a warm smile indicating that she had no regrets whatsoever. Kai felt the great lump in his throat begin to ease off.

"You can't be all jokes at the Tournament. Remember who we are fighting for now." Kai stated. "Yeah, we know. We were just thinking how Rodney was going to win with those can heads." snorted Tyson.

"Whatever it is, it won't be easy. Rodney maybe a conceited English boot but he's not that dumb. Watch out for anything unusual going on. I have a hunch Rodney had used that psychic power of his for the battles." Liya was worried but this time she at least can easily trust her friends and Kai now. Her past fears are over. It was time for her to not only bury it but cremate it.

"Welcome all Beyblade fans! This is the final match of our Italian Tournament. The two teams who made it this far are the Bladebreakers and the Dynoshadows." Several cheers were awarded to the Bladebreakers while the Dynoshadows received some boos and some kind applauds. "Our first contestants are Dante from the Dynoshadows and Rei form the Bladebreakers. So let's get ready to rip those fighting machines!"

Liya watched from the crowd with a pair of binoculars. Not Rei and Dante as you expected but Rodney. SO far all Rodney did was sit there and grin like an old fool. What did he have in store from them? Liya pondered. She need not wait anymore. As soon as the referee said LET IT RIP. Dante's beyblade already began attacking Rei's. It was as if Dante already knew exactly what to do before Rei could do anything. As if he read his mind. Dante's beyblade kept attacking and attacking Rei's beyblade leaving no time for Rei to think and make a move. All the moves he used to beat other beybladers were blocked. At last, Rei forfeited not out of shame but because he couldn't bear to see his beloved beyblade reduced to a pulp.

It was the saddest thing Liya saw. Rei's understanding eyes became two round sad circles of a little boy. "I tried…" he croaked. "Rei knew how much I needed to win this tournament. It is my last chance in my life to redeem myself. But this time I have faith in myself and Kai…" she thought. Liya smiled. "It's not over yet." Liya went to the judges and whispered something in their ears. Kai wondered what she was up to. The judges nodded and went straight to Rodney and asked him some questions. He replied coolly making Liya feel even more uncomfortable. Rodney, the judges and Liya all walked over to Dante and checked his ears.

"Psst…MAX! How come they are checking his ears? Is there a rule about having clean ears during a battle?" Tyson whispered to Max but Kenny answered. "No, you dim bulb! They are checking for any kind of voice transmitter. Oh God, I don't think they found any... Liya is getting a warning of some kind. Shit! They're not getting disqualified."

Liya returned to the stands with a heavy heart. A trickle of sweat slipped down on her cheek. Anxiety filled her heart but she couldn't think of what else to do. There were no hidden microphones anywhere on Dante. It was their last chance to win the tournament. Now their one last hope was gone.

Kai grabbed Liya and held her in a comforting embrace. "Don't worry. We'll make it somehow." Liya wished it was that way. All of a sudden, she heard Rodney talking to her through her mind. But that was impossible! Rodney was sitting across the stadium from them. Unless…

Liya turned to see Rodney leering at her with knowing eyes. Liya looked at Kai and knew that Rodney had "talked" to him to. They both stood there. They couldn't tell the officials and the administrators now; Rodney won't talk to their minds if they were asked to prove it. But, Liya had an idea. She went over to Max and told him to taunt Zain in battle. They both knew how much of a wuss Zain could be when he was insulted.

The battle began and Max began to taunt Zain viciously. As they had predicted, Zain lost concentration of what Rodney was saying to him and lost. That was one victory. Zain was clobbered by the others for his stupidity. Rodney sneered…Liya was much tougher than he thought. The next battle was between Louis and Kai. Liya couldn't imagine Kai taunting anyone like Max did and she couldn't imagine a mountain like Louis crying petulantly like Zain. Liya decided to leave this up to God. She prayed until the battle began.

Louis' beyblade attacked viciously just like Dante had, but unlike him, missed. Throughout the whole battle, Kai was cold and calculative and even Liya couldn't sense what move Kai was going to make. Because Kai made every move at the last minute, Rodney had a hard time reading his mind. Thus, Louis also lost the battle. That was another victory. Liya hugged Kai in relief.

Their next battle wasn't so good. Josh blocked every one of Tyson's attacks causing his beyblade to lose his speed. Finally, when Josh knew it was time for it to fall, he made a brutal attack causing some pieces of Tyson's beyblade to fly off. Poor Tyson didn't really understand what was happening and sobbed for the broken beyblade and his loss. They were even now.

Now, it was Liya's turn. She took a deep breath and went to the stadium to face Rodney. She looked into those cold calculative red eyes and remembered how he had her sister and her grandmother. Their lives would be ruined if she didn't do something. Liya had her punishment from Giovanni, it was time she repaid him.

(A.N. This reminds me of Pegasus and Yugi dueling) "LET IT RIP" Their voices echoed in the stadium of tense spectators. His beyblade circled dangerously around hers. Within mere moments, they two toys began to clash with one another. Liya called move after move and Rodney countered. Both were even beybladers and equally worthy of one another, powers or not. Suddenly, Rodney's beyblade tipped Liya's slowing down enough for her not be able to make an attack. Liya panicked and retreated to the slopes in hope of gaining some balance back. Rodney took this chance and attacked leaving a considerable amount of damage.

He grinned sadistically and hissed, "Seline will be mine! You're a failure in life. No wonder you were so easy, Giovanni said." Something snapped inside Liya. Anger with what Giovanni had done to make her waste away like that in life. Well now she had everyone and she knew they loved her and they were all with her and nothing was ever going to change that. And she would make sure of it.

Rodney was confused as to what was happening at the moment. She should have been bristling in contempt with herself but instead she rose and took flight in her anger for Giovanni. Her beyblade began to a dangerous shade of green then changed to red and attacked with full force. Even before it attacked Rodney knew that he was going to lose. He had been playing with hearts and emotions. A dangerous thing. He waited helplessly as the smoke cleared and he saw his beyblade in pieces still sizzling from the impact. Her beyblade spun around crookedly, exhausted from the hit.

Liya took a moment to understand what happened. She won! Seline and her grandmother will be alright! She thanked her beyblade. It glowed sweet lavender and whispered to her. "My name is Amouras." She was puzzled but then understood that she had neglected her beyblade and it wished to be recognized as her friend now. "Thank you Amouras, my friend."

As Liya had a million hugs from her friends, she watched from the corner of her eye the Dynoshadows leaving in a hurried motion. "Hey!" she called, but they wouldn't stop. The Bladebreakers ran after the Dynoshadows and a chase was on…

I'm so sorry this chapter was so crappy…I dunno I just wanted to get it over with…Newayz again thank you…and sry Kai and Liya didn't have sex again…sweat drops and hope to hear from you…
