Okay! Next chapter! And to answer your question Monarch, Kai won't tell the others because he doesn't want them to know until he has everything figured out for himself. Lame, yet Kai-ish I think. There is a better reason, part of the plot, I just can't tell you yet! But your question was very much appreciated! And thank you to all of you who reviewed me!
Kai stood atop a small hill at the Kinomiya residence. He had been practicing the entire morning, and it was now exactly 12:00 in the afternoon. Dranzer had watched him almost the entire time-except for when Ozuma came.
What could the leader of the Saint Shields want? He had a fairly good idea of what he was up against in the other team. The Blade Reapers had challenged them a while ago- about four months prior.
The team known as the "Blade Reapers" consisted of five members-though they had only met two of them. If the rest of the team was as annoying as their leaders, then they just might have some trouble on their hands. The two that they had met wore cloaks and their sex was un-decidable, either one could be male or female. That certainly wasn't something to be proud of. Kai smirked at his quip. When he noticed a presence behind him; Dranzer.
"Who was that boy Ozuma?" She asked with a frown on her face. After their quick talk while the other Blade Breakers were busy, Kai hadn't spoken to her since, and she still didn't have a very good idea of the "Saint Shield." Though Ozuma did look familiar to her, she knew now that she didn't recognize him personally, but the name and the clothes-they seemed so familiar, right on the tip of her mind, but she couldn't quite place it.
"No one." Kai growled in reply as he let her blade ricochet off of several trees leaving large holes and cuts, before returning back to him. "Just watch out for him and the other Saint Shields." He finished as he let the blade rip again.
Kai had told her about all of the other Saint Shields beside Ozuma. She could identify them by the clothes that they wore. They were red, orange, and black with double stitches. That would be easy enough she assumed.
Drazer let it go, either he didn't she needed to know any more than that, or he himself didn't know any more than that. Either way he was her master and she should obey him.
Meanwhile, Ozuma and the Saint Shields were hiding in a laboratory that seemed to double as a training station. Only four bladers were present, each at a different bey stadium battling what seemed to be computer operated bey blades. From what they Saint Shields were witnessing, the Blade Breakers would need all of the practice that they could get. The four were battling, at times, more than one bit beast, in one boys case more than three, all without calling out their own bit beasts. They had power, that was for certain.
Mariam, Jusuf, and Dunga watched on in amazement, while Ozuma frowned at the show that the four bladers were putting on. One person was missing from the team, that bothered Ozuma.
Daichi left the house while Takao's grandfather was out getting him more medicine, saying that he needed to practice for the upcoming tournament. Though, Kai had noticed that his skill had greatly lowered since he had been sick. He could hardly get his Strata Dragoon to do the simplest of moves-scratch that, he could barely launch it.
Their team was the same as it had been in their previous tournament; Kai as the leader, Takao, Rei, Max, and Daichi.
Takao looked hopelessly at Daichi who had falling down into a coughing fit. He breathed out as he left his fallen teammate, walking towards Kai. Once directly in front of him and Dranzer, he moved to talk.
"You do realize he can't do this." Takao asked credulously as he looked at Kai. Kai nodded, it was painfully obvious that Daichi couldn't blade, but it seemed that Takao was just getting it.
"Are you getting that just now?" Kai asked sarcastically as an eyebrow raised, causing Takao to get angry.
Dranzer listened to them bicker a bit longer. She respected her Master Kai greatly, but listening to him fight with the very immature Takao was a bit much. She sighed out as she turned away from them, the sun was directly overhead, causing the day to be very hot, not that she minded, being a phoenix, or a firebird in other words. Dranzer walked to the edge of the small hill, she could see that small redheaded boy bey blading, with much trouble.
Yet, he intrigued her, each time he fell, he got right back up again, to an almost pathetic level. Heck, it was way past pathetic and border line sad. Dranzer descended from the hill to get a closer look.
"Go Strata Dragoo-acha acha!" The boy coughed as his blade spun out of control out of the stadium and on to the long.
"Graghh! Darn it!" He rasped out as he stomped his foot on the ground, going to pick up his Strata Dragoon. Dranzer raised an eyebrow, when he seemed to notice her.
Daichi turned around and saw a tall girl standing behind him, she had long off-white colored hair and had on a very odd dress.
"Hey! What do you want Lady? Cahhaachha! Achhaa!" Daichi coked out his words, sounding much less intimidating as they were scratchy and barely above a whisper. Dranzer looked at him coldly, not liking his tone, however hard to hear it might be.
"So, what exactly is it you're trying to do?" Dranzer asked sarcastically, raising an eyebrow, making the boy angry.
"Gragh!" He started strongly, before starting back into a coughing fit. He needed help. Badly.
Kai knew that Daichi couldn't blade. But if not him, then who?
Okay. Not much happened, I know. So I'd like to hear what you think. Who should be the fifth blader on the Blade breakers. Should it be Daichi, Tala, Kyouju, Hiromi, or someone else? If you can give a good enough reason as to why they would be on the team blading, I'll take it in to consideration. Thank you! Also, more Dranzer and Kai stuff soon, I know that the last couple of chapters there hasn't been much. More soon, promise!
