Chapter seven: The Sliver Phoenix.
Isis crept into the dojo. Hoping no-one was still up. She saw the worried figures of Ray and Max run towards her.
"Hey are you alright?" Ray asked her.
"Wha? Oh, yeah." She nodded. "Hey, where are Tyson and Hilary?" She asked, "And Chief for that matter?" She spun around as though hoping to spot them around.
"Heh, chief grew sick of them as well." Ray answered, trying to stifle a laugh.
"So he told Tyson that he'd do up his blade." Max grinned mischievously "So naturally Tyson gave up his blade." Ray added.
"Then chief locked them in Tyson's bedroom." Max laughed again.
Isis stifled a giggle.
"I take it they still haven't made up." She asked them.
"Oh they have. But we're not letting them out until they admit they have feelings for each other." Max told her. Isis burst out laughing.
"You do realize we've got practise at six in the morning tomorrow?" She said between bouts of laughter. Max and Ray eyed each other uncomfortably.
"That's kind of the problem. We're shattered and those two are as stubborn as Kai sometimes." Ray sighed.
"I'm sure he's not that bad." Isis said, bristling slightly over Kai and cursing again over it.
"Trust me. On some of the few times Kai actually speaks to us he is more stubborn than erm... a mule." Max finished off, not knowing how to put it.
"I'll take your word for it then." She laughed, stifling a yawn. "I'm going to sleep okay?" She told them.
"That's if Hilary and Tyson stop yelling there heads off." Max laughed.
"And if they don't I'll go to a hotel and sleep over there." She grinned.
"Hey if you're going then you don't mind us coming with you?" Ray realized what he just said and blushed. "Different rooms I mean."
Isis giggled.
"I guessed." She grinned; sticking her tongue out playfully. "Okay then, are you coming? I'll go pack some clothes and stuff, see you out here in five?" She told them. They grinned and left her.
She ran into her room, grabbing her sports bag and stuffing some clothes into it. She grabbed her purse with her credit-cards in and snatched her launcher and Dragweena with her, niftily attaching them to her favourite black belt that she had tied loosely around her waist.
She heard Tyson and Hilary yelling at each other in the background. She sighed, it's not like they didn't have anything in common. They could get on if they really wanted to.
She ran out of her room again, snatching her mobile off the table in the hallway. Ray and Max were waiting by the gates.
"Where do you want to go?" Max asked.
"The crystal palace!" Isis grinned, her eyes shining. "It's this new place I passed with Hilary." She explained, dragging them off to get a taxi.
They arrived at around nine 'o'clock at the crystal palace. It really was like the beautiful hotels you saw in Las Vegas, a stunning water display just outside a huge building with glass like walls. Ray and Max stood outside in awe, making Isis drag them in.
"This place is going to cost a fortune!"
"Lucky for you the Beyblading Association takes care of your expenses" she grinned. "Wow." Both lads trailed off, looking at the glamorous interior of the hotel. "This place was built for beybladers who don't have a place to stay for the night." She explained, "And as you can see dear ol' Mr Dickinson and co. likes to give their bladers the best." Isis fumbled around for her licence card, swiping it in a machine. Ray and Max found theirs also.
Welcome Beybladers, Ray Kon, Max Tate and Isis Kinomiya of theBladebreakers.
Please pick a choice.
Isis typed in for three luxury bedrooms and made them all swipe it in again. They then collected their room keys and went there separate ways. It wasn't long before any of them were asleep.
Isis groaned. She had been woken up at 5:30 in the morning by the alarm on her mobile; she didn't even remember setting it. She rolled over. Then realised that some was ringing her, not her alarm. She answered it.
"Hello?" She yawned. "Oh, hi Tyson..."
Where are you guys? I've been stuck in this room all night with that lazy...
I heard that Tyson Kinomiya!
Yeah well you are!
"Tyson. Kenny said if you say sorry to Hilary then he'll let you out." Isis murmured.
What! Say sorry to her? No way!
I'm not saying sorry either Isis!
"Look, it's either that or you miss training. And from the way Ray and Max speak about him he won't like it one bit."
What! Aw man...
"Just let go of your pride or..." Isis trailed off trying to think of something. "I dunno, climb outta a window or something." She mumbled. Silence down the other end.
Aw man! Why didn't I think of that?
"Because you were to busy shouting at my best friend. Now go away. I've got to get ready for training."
Where are you?
"The crystal palace. New hotel. Goodbye Ty." She told him firmly. Switching her phone off and sighing.
She decided to put on her black jeans that had a her Ice phoenix Dragweena embroidered up one of the legs and a simple black top with sleeves that had been given an almost torn feather effect. She slipped on her fingerless gloves and black leather boots.
She smiled to herself as she gave her hair a quick brush and put in her trademark silk flower, white with sliver streaked in it. She gave herself a quick look in a full length mirror, admiring her work. She heard a knock at the door.
"Isis! We have to go now!"
"Wait a second!" She called out, clipping her loose belt around her waist again and grabbing her bag. She opened the door. Both Ray and Max felt their jaws drop.
"Okay, you've got to at least wait until you've seen me battle guys" She grinned.
"We have! You're..." Max began, unable to finish off his words.
"I'm The Sliver Phoenix." She finished. "Yeah, I know."
"Does Tyson know?"
"Yup. He got me the silk flower for good luck when I first started." She told them. "Now are we going?" She asked them.
"Sure, let's go."
