Kay: Hi, everyone. ((waves))

Jay: Here's chapter four.

Ty: Yup. Hope you enjoy it. Oh, and you do realize what day it is next Monday, right Jason?

Jay: Uh...

Kay: Am I glad Jen and Jes aren't here right now. Does the word Valitines Day mean anything to you?

Jay: O.O That's next week!

Kay: Yup. So be on the look out for some V Day stories from me♥

Jay: O.O...

Kay: You still need to get Jen a present, don't you?

Jay: O.O...I'm dead.

Kay: Ack. People, just read the story while we try to sort out this problem. If you have any sugestions for what Jason should give Jen, they may serve as inspiration for a story or two with a couple of your choosing from my Fav. Couples list on my bio, though I'm not making any promises.

Chapter 4
The Blade Breakers

"I'm home." A young girl stepped into the apartment. She was attractive, with short, brown hair and brown eyes. She wore, a white t-shirt, a pair of khaki colored scorts and a short sleeved denim jacket.

"Hey, Hil, you're back," Tyson said, planting a kiss on his girlfriend's cheek.

"Hey, what's up?" Hillary said. "Team meeting. Kai and I will deal with Hiro, Ray and Maxi, but do you think you could get the Chief away from his computer for a sec.?" Tyson said.

"Sure, no problem," Hilary said.

She went through the living room of the suite the recently reunited Blade Breakers were staying in, and snuck into one of the rooms. Inside was a young boy of about 15, with brown hair that covered his eyes, and thick glasses perched on his nose. He was wearing a white blouse, and khaki pants.

"Hey, Chief, don't you think it's about time you took a break?" A woman's voice came from his laptop.

"Hang on, Dizzy. Just a few more adjustments and I'll be done. We need to modify Max's attack ring, or we're toast for the championship," Kenny, said not noticing that there was someone else in the room with him. Hilary slowly snuck up to him, put her hands over his shoulders, and…

"HI, KENNY!" she yelled at the top of her lungs, while putting all her weight on her arms, which were on either of his shoulders.

"Ahhh! Hilary! Don't do that!" Kenny said.

Mean while, in another room was a young boy of about 15. He wore a white t-shirt, cargo pants, and a green, short sleeved sweatshirt…thing. He was listening to his walkman, and totally out of it. So out of it, in fact, that Max Tate didn't even notice two of his teammates looming over him.

"So, what should we do about him?" Tyson asked.

"Hmm. I know. Lets try…" Kai said, reaching for Maxes earphones, "this!" he finished, pulling off the earphones.

"Hey! What did you go and do that for? That was my favorite song!" Max said.

"Common, Max, we've got a team meeting to get to," Kai said.

"Problem is, Ray's meditating, and you're his best friend, and he would never get mad at his best friend, not that anyone could get mad at you anyway, and…" Tyson said, drifting off towards the end, eyeing his friend.

"Relax, buddy, I've got it covered," Max said, laughing. Then, he picked up his walkman, turned it off, and walked toward over to the bed on the other side of the room.

Knowing what was about to happened, captain and co-captain quickly ran out of the room, one to wait in the living room, and the other to deal with his brother.

"Ahhh," a yell came from one of the rooms. Hilary and Kenny exchanged looks, knowing exactly what had happened.

"Max! Give me that walkman!" a 17 year old boy yelled, marching out of the room, while Max ran out, laughing. Ray was wearing black baggy pants and a Chinese style shirt with a yin-yang in the center of it. On the left half, where the yin-yang was black, the shirt was white, and vice versa. He wore a red sash around his waist, a red head band with a yin-yang on it, a white biker glove on his right hand and a black biker glove on his left hand. At that moment, he looked like he was out for blood.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to disturb me like that when I'm meditating?" Ray yelled.

"Relax, Ray. I told him to do it," Kai said.

"K-Kai? But why?" Ray asked, surprised that the oldest, and usually most serious member of the group would do such a thing.

"Because it's the only way that we could get this meeting started. Now sit down. We have work to do," Kai said.

"What's up?" Max asked, as Ray sat down around the table where three pizza's and two bottles of orange soda were laid out for the team.

"We should wait for…" Kenny started, but never finished.

"Tyson, when I get my hands on you, you're going to wish one of us was an only child," 20 year old Hiro Granger yelled, chasing his little brother out of his room.

"Ha-hah, you wouldn't really hurt little old me, now would you, Big Brother?" Tyson said.

"Uh, yes. Can we just get this meeting under way?" Hero said, still glaring daggers at his little brother, sitting down.

"Right. This is the team we'll be teaming up with for the Global Tournament. They're called the Mystic Legends," Kenny said, while showing a picture of the team on his laptop.

"Hey, I recognize that name. They're the Champions of the Windy City tournament," Max said.

"The what?" Ray asked.

"Max, you've heard of them?" Kai asked, surprised.

"Yeah. There's this tournament the BBA holds every year in Chicago, Illinois called the Windy City Tournament, and for the past two years, this team, called the Mystic Legends, have been the reigning champs," Max said.

"Max, have you ever seen them battle?" Kai asked.

"Yeah. I was visiting my mom last year, and it just happened to be around the time of the tournament, so she took me to go see. Because my mom works at the BBA, we got to go for free. It was really awesome! It was one of those tournaments where all the members need to battle.

"The Mystic Legends were really something. Their leader's name is Matt, and she's not only beautiful, but she's really strong. Her blade has perfect balance, but she likes to drag the battle out a bit, learn their strategies, then finish them off with one, fatal sweep. At first I thought she dragged out the battles because she liked to play mind games, and I wouldn't be surprised if she does, but it turned out she did it so she could learn their strategies and the adapt them to her own strategy." Max took a break to catch his breath and take a sip of soda.

"Sounds interesting," Kai said. "What else do you know?"

"Well, Matt has a twin brother, Jake. His style's a lot like his sisters, except he likes to stay more on the defensive until the final strike, where as Matt prefers strategic offense.

"Then there's Mel. She's pretty too. She likes to stick to a strong attack, but if it's penetrated, she's got a pretty mean defense to back her up.

"Last is Char. Like her other female teammates, she's really cute. She has really good endurance, but she's backed up by a pretty decent attack and defense," Max finished with a sigh.

"Typical that you would notice what all the girls look like, Max," Tyson said with a sigh. Ray smirked at his best friend.

"Can you imagine how Merriam would react if she heard him talk like that?" Max pouted and glared at his now snickering friends.

"The weird thing is that they're so good, but they don't have bit beasts," Kenny said, returning to the conversation.

"For real, Chief? They don't? But don't their stats almost rival ours?" Tyson asked between bites of Pizza.

"Yeah, almost. We are a bit stronger, though," Kai said as he refilled his cup.

"We'd better get some sleep. Tyson's already falling asleep on top of me," Kaisaidas he pushed his friend off of him a few hours later.

"'Kay, G'night," Max said, and jumped onto Rays shoulders as he headed towards their room. Ray was so tired, he merely grunted in response.

"You can walk," Kai said, catching the look Tyson was giving him. Then, he stood up, and went to bed.

Kay: Te-heh. Sorry if they sound a little OOC, but I'm doing my best to make them sound like they do in the show. I just need to respond to a few things:

ERALDA: Sorry. This is a different Matilda from the one in the Barthez Batallion. The one in this story is an OC.

QuietWorld: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE! I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T LIKE ANIME! Not that I mind the reveiws.

Jay: Since when do you respond to reviews?

Kay: I only respond if someone askes a really good question that I think everyone should know the answere to, or if there's something I wan't to coment/ask about that person.

Jay: And you could't just e-mail Charmaine because...

Kay: I'm too lazy. RR peoples.
