Chapter 3: Pranks and Street Fights in Las Vegas
"Las Vegas, America. You'd think there'd be more to it with all the hype about it."
"We aren't here on a vacation, Katerina." Nikki said sharply.
"So? We're here aren't we?"
"And the tournament doesn't start for a few days," Natalie added.
"You wanna wake up Li?" Rei asked Kai, staring at the sleeping figure on one of the beds.
"Hm. I got a better idea. Could you hand me that paper cup?" Rei tossed him the cup and Kai got out a black sharpie.
"What are you doing?" Rei asked; Kai drew a big spider on the cup, then filled it with water.
"Li is scared of spiders," Kai answered, gently placing the cup next to Li so the picture of the spider was facing Li. "Come on, let's go see if anyone else is awake; I don't want to be here when Li gets up."
They left the room quietly and knocked on the door across the hall. Megumi opened the door and stuck her head out. Calling back to the other two girls she said, "Aw, it's only Kai and Rei."
"Let them in," Kira called from inside.
"Yes, let us in," Kai repeated, smirking.
Megumi stuck her tongue out at him, but let the two of them in. Kai gave Celeste a small hug and a peck on the top of her head. "So where are we gonna go today?" Celeste asked. "There are a few days until the tournament and this is our first time in Las Vegas. . . ."
"Maybe we could go sight-seeing," Kira answered. "There are supposed to be a lot of cool places around here, like that mini-Paris and New York."
"We'll all talk about it over breakfast," said Rei. "I'll go wake up Tyson, Max, and Kenny."
"We'll meet you downstairs where they have the breakfast, alright?" Kai told him.
"That didn't take very long," Megumi said as Rei, Tyson, Max, and Kenny came and sat at the big table she, Celeste, Kira, and Kai were already sitting at.
"Morning," Max chirped happily. "Where's Li?"
Rei and Kai exchanged glances. Kai said, "I don't think he's awake yet, but he probably will be soon. I left him a note, telling him we'd be here."
As if on cue, Li came up behind Kai and poured a carton of milk on Kai's two-shaded blue hair.
"That is for the spider and the water." Li said, taking a seat across from Kai.
"You mean the water-spider?" Kai responded, chuckling. "But, hey - water for water! What's with the damn MILK!" Kai got up and went back to their room to wash his hair.
(Later - walking on the streets of Las Vegas)
"Do you boys know who's gonna be in the tournement?" Kira asked the Bladebreakers.
"Well, um, I'm sure that no one there is gonna be too much to handle for us!" Tyson stated proudly, fist in the air. All of the Element Cats looked skeptical.
"Let's ask Dizzi," said the Chief, hoping to get back on the sure side Kai's team; he knew that their best bet was to listen to all the advice the five other bladers had to offer.
"That took long enough Kenny! I was wondering when you were gonna ask me!" Dizzi complained from Kenny's laptop. "Here we go boys and girls- according to statistics there are two major teams that you might wanna be worried about. The All Stars are the American team, and are, according to my information, really all stars. The other team is Einfall, blading for Germany. They're tough, seeing as they are some of the best bladers from Europe."
A "Hnn" came from Kai. "Nice name."
"And that's supposed to mean...?" Tyson looked at him quizically.
"Their team name, Einfall. It means a raid or an invasion."
"Oh. How'd you know that?" Kai just rolled his eyes and kept walking, arm around Celeste's waist.
"Ugh, this place is boring," Nikki complained to her three companions.
"Aw, sis I think this place is kinda cool," said Natalie to her older sister. "Not as good as Frankfurt or Kohn though."
"What I need from this place is a good beybattle," Nikki said, looking around hopefully. "Hey, those kids over there look like they're blading. Let's go." The other girls followed their captain over to the beydishes and didn't waste any time in beybattling the kids.
"Hey look guys!" Tyson pointed over to a group of kids, half of whom seem to be having fun, the other looking quite bummed out and maybe kind of mad. "They're blading! Maybe we can join in the fun. What'dya say guys?"
"Don't go flaunting all your moves, Tyson," Li said sternly.
"Yeah, the last thing we want is the other teams knowing your moves by the time you face them," Kira added.
Kai smirked. "We'll go have the fun."
"Take notes boys," Celeste said as they made their way towards the group. "It may help you during your matches."
Tyson, Rei, and Max weren't happy about this but understood why their new friends and, apparently, new coaches.
They walked up to see a girl with dark-silver hair in ponytails, clad in black leather - pants, long jacket, boots, the whole deal - beating another boy who was around Kenny's age.
The group came just in time to see the boy's blade fall into peices. The poor kkid looked heartbroken. "Youyou broke my blade," He seemed almost crying as he picked up the now worthless peices of his blade.
"Hey! You better say you're sorry!" Tyson yelled at the girl in anger. She flashed her fire-red eyes in his direction.
"It's not my problem," she responed with an accent most of the group couldn't place. "He shouldn't have accepted my challenge; he saw what happened to the other blades." The girl looked at the group of the Bladebreakers and the Element Cats. Her eyes fell upon Kira, Kai, and Celeste. She quickly glanced back, motioning for the three of her teammates to come forward. "Would any of you want to battle? Apparently I have run through all the willing bladers here."
Kai whispered something to his sister and girlfriend before stepping forward. "You want a battle, you got one."
Both bladers got their blades ready, Kai with his blue Dranzer blade and the girl with a black and silver blade.
"3..2..1.. Let it Rip!" Li yelled, starting the match. As soon as the blades hit the dish, the girl yelled something in another language. The black and silver blade attacked, but missed Dranzer by a mere centimeter.
"Dranzer, Flaming Arrows!" The two blades collided, shaking the ground in and around the dish. Both blades were sent out of the dish and into the hands of their owners.
"Hn. Looks like you're a bit better than last time, Nikki," Kai said, turning back and returning to a place by his team's side.
"Same to you, Kai," Nikki scoffed. She added something else in another language before turning and leaving with the rest of her team.
As soon as they were gone, Kai said, "Now you've met your major oppostition from Germany."
