Kohari: As we all know, I've had problems with this chapter. Hopefully all the...difficulties...have decided to clear out. Stupid computer.
Chapter 13
Kitten led the team into the stadium, all of them attempting cheery smiles. They had a good impression to make. The crowd may not have seen the real pain behind the smiles, but the team, and the BladeBreakers, knew something wasn't right with the fake grins.
"A-alright!" the announcer shouted out, cheers erupting from every direction. "This team is one of the best, and they've got the power of the female (please don't be copyrighted). Say hello to the BeyKats!" And the fans sure did say hello. It was more screams and whoops than anything else.
"And they're gonna be up against a new team this year. Introducing the newbies...the BladeCats?"
"Huh?" filled the stadium, and surprised looks conquered the faces of them all. The only ones not astounded by this shocking bit of news was the opposing team themselves, a group of girls that looked like BeyKat wanna-bes.
Everyone turned to Kitten, who had put her heart and soul into this team. Her eyes were wiped clean of all emotions but anger, and it dominated her whole body. When Kitten got like this, you didn't want to be the one standing in her way for the world.
The line-up was agreed and Lita stepped up to the dish, taking a quick glance into the stands to see if her Maxie was watching. Indeed he was, as was the whole BladeBreakers team. And anxiously, I might add. She took a deep breath. This was going to be a big one. She just had to win this match, for more than one reason.
"3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!" The two bladers launched into the stadium. It was like two Litas in the ring. The other girl was dressed exactly like the BeyKat, with everything the same as Lita, even the beyblade's moves.
The mystery girl taunted Lita, smirking all the while, confident she was going to win. Lita had a secret weapon, not planning to use it so early, but if this girl had memorized everything in regards to this fight, then maybe it was time she brought out the one attack she hadn't seen yet.
"Ice Leopard!" Lita cried out, summoning her bitbeast. It answered the call, flashing its teeth at her startled opponent. "Caressing Blizzard," she commanded, and the leopard of the winter obeyed, freezing the bowl slowly, and decreasing the opponent's momentum. Eventually, everything was covered in ice that was inside the dish, with the exception of Lita and her beyblade.
"And the winner is...Lita! Of the BeyKats!" Once again, cheers erupted in the stadium, and even Max stood up and shouted for joy. Lita blushed slightly, and quickly retreated back to her team.
"Next up is...Hilary of the BeyKats versus Yori of the BladeCats." It was time for the boos (for Yori), a few people even throwing some empty Coke (me no own, but Coca-Cola sure tastes good, don't it?) into the ring. "Hey, hey, you wouldn't be throwing crap if you were the ones cleaning it up!"
The BladeBreakers watched attentively as Hilary took the next match easily, without revealing Battle Lynx. They were the noisiest ones when she took the victory, hollering their support for their old team member, even though she was the enemy in this tournament. Kitten questioned her, but she denied even knowing "those crazy lunatics cheering their lungs out for her."
Kitten denied everyone else the final match. She had a score to settle with their audacious team leader. No one steals the name (it was so similar, that that's how she saw it) of the BeyKats and gets away with it without at least a hundred scratches. That's what Kitten vowed would befall these...we all know at least one word for people like them, right?
Kitten released her blade, Rini of the BladeCats following suit as the match began. Kitten wasted no time in calling out her heaviest artillery to take her down as swiftly and as hard as she could. "Ancient Manul! I call thee forth!" Have to give the fans a good show, right?
The fight was over in an instant, light blinding the spectators temporarily, and leaving only Kitten's Manul still spinning in the dish, quite a few chips from the bowl scattered all over the stadium, and scratches replacing the polished rim.
K-man blinked in surprise. "Well, that was fast. The winner is the BeyKats." He mumbled this into the microphone, but the fans heard every word and stood, yelling their joy and hugging each other, the BeyKats doing the same.
Everyone filed out of the building, trying as hard as they could to their cars before the parking lot got crowded. Almost no one stuck around in the lobby as the BeyKats exited their dressing rooms, relieved there were no newspeople around to snap annoying photos and request interviews.
They weren't happy, however, at the fact that there actually were people waiting for them. The BladeBreakers.
Tyson approached them. "Good match," he congratulated, extending his hand. Kitten glared at it skeptically, then pushed it aside. "It seems we have competition."
"It was only to be expected," she told him, then shoved past him into the parking lot to wait for the rest of them.
"My name's Dina," the master of the jaguar rushed forward, introducing herself, and taking Tyson's abandoned hand. "It's a pleasure, Tyson." Tyson smiled. Hilary seriously hoped she had been replaced.
"Lita, you did great!" Max exclaimed, hugging the girl. Everyone gasped as they finally figured out who the mystery guy (or girl in the BladeBreakers' case) was that their teammate wouldn't talk about.
"You, too, Max," she blushed, embarrassed at the whole display. "Please don't tell Kitten," she pleaded in a whisper to her friends.
Kai stepped forward to Hilary, amazing everyone. It was silent in the lobby for a second. "Congratulations. You did well, Hilary." Something was in his eyes, she could sense, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Before she could ponder it further, however, he turned without another word and went out to the bus, Kitten glaring at him like a disease the whole time.
"We'd probably better get going, too," Tyson commented, his hand still held hostage by Dina. She released it, flushing with embarrassment.
"Yeah, we'd better get moving, or we may miss the bus. The driver doesn't exactly like us," Ray explained to Hilary and her team.
"Yeah," Max agreed. "See ya'll tomorrow." He gave a last minute wink to Lita, who blushed.
The BladeBreakers then headed out and boarded the bus. Hilary sort of wanted to go load it with them, but...she had a new team now, and her loyalties now lay with them. And she was the one that had left the BladeBreakers in the first place, right?
She watched as Kai and the others faded from sight, and her own clique (no one sue me for the use of that word) walked off through the now-deserted parking lot and went their separate ways.
End
Kohari: It's over. Ya'll know what to do.
