Chapter 10; Part 1: Changes

I'll see if Mitsu wants to write this chapter…

Sigh Mitsu is busy…ah well… eyes light up with evil glint Muahahahahahahaha! Now you're all stuck with me!

The Demolition Boys were waiting, having been informed of another Neoborg team. Tala shifted uneasily. Kai glanced at him, guessing the reason for Tala's mood.

The doors slammed shut behind Sinyestra and Matthias. The twins stood where they were, glaring at the Demolition Boys. Another door slammed as Boris entered.

"Well now. It's good to see we're all here."

Sinyestra concentrated for a second, before opening her eyes. She glared at her blade, sent a scathing look at Boris, and then disappeared.

Matthias hesitated, but then he too winked out like a light. Gone.

Tala gasped. He wasn't the only gaping at the empty space where the twins had been. Boris was the single person unaffected as he stood to one side, consulting several important looking machines.

"What-where-why-how-?"

Boris chuckled humorlessly at Tala's confusion.

"Your girlfriend's fine," sneered Boris. Tala's mouth snapped shut and his fists clenched as a slight flush appeared on his pale cheeks.

Ian slowly stood up and backed out the room, followed by Bryan and Spencer. Tala and Kai stayed where they were, watching Boris, who walked over to stand before the still spinning blades. Without turning around he spoke with an icy tone.

"If you even mention the names of my beautiful creations, I will have you skinned then cooked…ALIVE! Now go!"

Max sat down in an empty seat beside Kairi. Tyson was slowly passing in front of them as Kenny made some last minute touchups to their blades.

Max pulled out a chocolate bar, pulling off the wrapper then stuffing it in his mouth. Kairi sent him a small glare of disgust. She was miffed as there was no information on this new team. Tyson wiped his sweaty palms on his pants. Kenny began to sweat as one of the screws in Dragoon refused to go back into place.

"Do any off you home boys need to go Gents room?"

"No thanks, grandpa," said Tyson. Kairi stood up and stretched.

"Argh! When will this tournament start, already?" she groaned.

"When all the teams get here," said Kenny with forced patience. Kairi sat down with a sigh. Just as she hit the seat, an announcement went over the speakers.

"WOULD THE BLADEBREAKERS PLEASE ENTER THE STADIUM!"

Max stood up.

"Let it rip!"

"Come on guys!" said Tyson. To everyone's surprise, Kairi jumped up in a huff.

"Would you all stop talking as if there are no girls here!" she screeched. Tyson looked shocked as she stormed out. Max giggled then followed, dragging Kenny with him.

Tyson stood where he was before realizing that he was the only team member there.

"Hey guys! I mean, people! Wait!"
