/-Thoughts-/
Chapter 14 - The Tournament Begins.
It was the day of the tournament and everyone was raring to go but there was someone missing.
"Ah… where is she?" Tyson moans.
"If she doesn't hurry up we'll be late." Kenny says worriedly.
"Not to mention she's the one taking us there." Max adds.
"Ray, go see what's taking her so long." Kai says.
Ray nods and heads towards Tiffany's room, he comes back a few moments later with and confused look on his face.
"What's wrong Ray?" Max asks.
"She's not there."
"What do you mean she's not there? She has to be there." Tyson complains.
"Excuse me sirs." A voice interrupts.
They turn round and saw Jon behind them.
"Miss Tiffany has arranged for your transport. She informs me that you will not be coming back but instead stay at a designated hotel she has arranged for you, as it will be closer to the stadium." Jon informs.
"Why can't we stay here?" Tyson asks a little confused.
"If you don't mind sir, the car is waiting outside." He turned towards the front door and headed towards it.
Tyson was about to say something when Kenny looked at his watch.
"Ah!" he said in shock.
"What's wrong Chief?" Ray asks.
"Guys, if we don't leave right now. We'll be late for our first match!" he states rather urgently.
"Then let's get going." Kai said.
They all made their way to the front and found a dark red civic waiting for them. They all got in and the car headed towards the stadium.
"I wonder where Tiffany disappeared to?" Ray thought aloud.
Max couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy and hate towards Ray, although he knew that Ray knew that he and Tiffany were now together. It still made him jealous when he showed that he was worried about her.
"Man, my sister's worse then Kai!" Tyson comments, which earns him a glare from the man himself.
The rest of the car journey was quiet and all were surprised when the car pulled up outside a hotel instead of the stadium.
"Uh… excuse me, but aren't you suppose to take us to the stadium?" Kenny asked the driver a little confused.
"Miss Tiffany told me to bring you straight here, sir."
It was then Kenny noticed the clock on the dashboard. "Is that clock right?" he asked puzzled.
"Yes sir, miss Tiffany told me to make sure it was the right time."
Kenny looked down at his watch then up to the clock and back down at his watch again, his eyes widened when he realised that his watch was two hours fast.
"What's up Chief?" Tyson asked seeing the shock on his friends face.
"M-my watch is two hours fast."
"Two hours!" Max says.
The car door opens and a voice says "Gentleman. If you'd like to follow me, miss North is expecting you."
As they got out of the car they saw a man in his twenties, he had red hair and was smartly dressed. He walked towards the door of the hotel and walked in.
"What do you think's going on?" Ray asks.
"We'll never know by just standing here." Kai states and starts towards the hotel with the others in tow.
Once they meet up with the man again -who was talking to the receptionist- Max asked, "Who's miss North?"
The man smiled at Max but didn't answer him instead saying "This way." walking off.
Everyone followed but wondered who this 'Miss North' was, that was all except for Tyson. He had a pretty good idea who this person was. 'He didn't treat me like a niece more like a daughter.' A female voice said in his head.

Tiffany was getting nervous, she adjusted her top for the fifth time that day then stood up and walked towards the window, she sighed as she looked out of it. /- I wish they'd hurry up already.-/ she thought. Her mind wondered back to the nightmare she had last night.
#FLASHBACK ((DREAM SQUENCE))#
She ran as fast as she could. If she could just reach them, reach him. She knew she would be safe; they wouldn't be able to touch her there. Just then she felt a searing pain race through her arm, she looked down at it only to find a huge gash. She held it tightly and kept running, she couldn't stop, not now. She was so close then a Beyblade appeared in front of her stopping her in her tracks. She recognise it instantly "Dragoon." She said quietly.
"Very observant of you." a voice said from the shadows.
Tiffany felt another searing pain this time from her leg. She looked down at it and saw three deep cuts across her leg. They looked like claw marks. /-Please no.-/ she thought as tears filled her eyes. She heard a chuckle and looked up but the person was still hiding in the shadows.
"They won't save you… or should I say can't."
Tiffany could almost feel the smug expression on the persons face.
"What have you done to them!" she shouts out into the darkness.
There was an evil chuckle. "Surely you must know from the blade in front of you.
Tiffany looked down at Dragoon. It was now split in two, Dragoon was no more.
"No…" she says quietly in pure disbelief. She hobbled away as fast and as best as she could, hearing an evil laugh echo behind her. She ignored the excruciating pain in both her arm and leg. /-Please… please be okay.-/ she got to the door only to find it slightly ajar, fear took over her as she shakily opened it and limped in. There on the floor was the team, which also consisted of her brother and boyfriend lying in a pool of blood. Tiffany screamed.
#END FLASHBACK ((DREAM SQUENCE))#
She shuddered hoping the nightmare wouldn't come true. She rubbed her arms despite the heat of the day, the memory of the dream had left her feeling cold. She heard the door behind her open and a voice say, "Your guests have arrived, Miss." She gave a nod as she folded her arms to keep the warmth in. /-Think happy thoughts Tiffany. Happy thoughts.-/
"Who are you?" she heard Kenny ask.
She chuckled to herself, naturally they wouldn't recognise her. As her appearance was different to what they were use to. For she was wearing stony white coloured trousers which had pockets down the sides and a white haltered top -which was a little revealing- with blue flowers scatters on it. Her blue hair was tied up in a high ponytail.
"What's so funny?" she heard Tyson ask clearly hearing the annoyance in his voice.
"What's the matter, Tyson? Don't recognise your own sister." she said coolly.
"Tiffany?" Max says.
"You're expecting maybe the tooth fairy." She says sarcastically as she turns round.
"What's going on?" Kai said the seriousness in his voice showed he was in no mood for games.
Tiffany smirked but didn't answer instead she said, "You guys better get ready your match starts in two hours." Walking towards one of the adjoining rooms but before she entered she said, "Oh and Kenny…"
"Yeah?"
"Don't forget to put your watch back two hours." And walked in closing the door behind her.
"Okay, that was weird." Tyson suddenly said.
Max nods in agreement.
"She's right." Kai said surprising them all, "It's time we got ready for the match."
"Right." Ray agreed. "Chief, what do you know about who we're facing?"
Kenny walked over to the sofa placing his laptop on the table and opening it up.
"They're called the Tsunami Waves and they come from Hawaii." Kenny began "Their leader is a guy called Brian."
"Forget about the history lesson Chief, and tell us who's blading." Tyson says.
The two hours went by quickly as all were engrossed in what Kenny was telling them and before long Tiffany came out of her room to join them.
"It's time." She said.
"Already?" Max said amazed at how fast the time went.
"You are coming, right sis?" Tyson asks wondering why she was acting so strangely.
Tiffany nodded. "I'll be watching." She said so calmly that it even sent shivers down Kai's back!

"Welcome Beyblade fans to the American tournament!" the announcer says as the crowd cheer loudly. "Today's match sees the Tsunami Waves take on the awesome Bladebreakers! So without further ado let's get with it. First up is Angel of the Tsunami Waves and she'll be facing Max of the Bladebreakers."
Both bladers stepped up to the dish ready to launch their blades.
"Three… two… one… let it rip!"

Sorry to end it there but this chapter was way overdue -looks sad-. Just so you know I'm still excepting OC bladers (if anyone wants to give).
