Chapter Four: Trap!
"Could we at least stop for lunch?" Tyson asked. "Maybe even an early dinner?"
"Actually, Mr. Stevens has arranged all that," the driver replied smoothly.
"But I wanna eat!" Tyson whined.
"Now Mr. Granger, there is no need to use that tone of voice with me. Tonight, you are to camp out in the Australian Outback. Do not worry, it is quite… safe."
"Great," Tyson mumbled darkly.
Kai frowned at them. "There's something suspicious going on here. Godfrey leaves and than suddenly, we have to fend for ourselves in the wild. I smell a trap."
"Aw, c'mon Kai!" Max giggled. "No need to get all suspicious about this."
"Yeah," Rei agreed. "It's just for one night right?"
"Than why weren't we informed of this?" Kai prompted. "Why the sudden change of plans?"
"Maybe… it was a surprise?" Kenny asked uneasily.
"Don't worry about it Chief." Tyson grinned. "Kai's just being paranoid that's all. Besides, he's probably just joking."
Kai glared at him coldly. "I don't joke Tyson."' He looked away. "Just don't come crying to me when you see how right I am. As for me, I'm keeping my guard up."
"Anything?" the girl asked her companion.
None.The bird ruffled her feathers. But I do know that the group is going to the Outback.
The girl frowned. "We better go get the others." She turned towards the fiery bird. "Contact the other's bondbirds. We're going to need some help."
Right away Kyeema.The bird spread out her wings and took flight.
'I hope we're not too late,' Kyeema thought worriedly, looking out towards the fading horizon.
"Yum!" Tyson smacked his lips. "Australian seafood is delicious!"
After a lot of poking and prodding, the chauffeur had finally been convinced to taking a short detour to a local restaurant. The chauffeur, who had refused to go in, was now fuming silently in the limo. Meanwhile, the rest to the Bladebreakers were eating an early dinner.
"I agwee!" Max said between mouthfuls.
"Don't talk with your mouth full!" Hilary exclaimed, aghast at his behaviour. "You're becoming another Tyson!"
"Aw c'mon Hwilary!" Tyson shook his head, chewing on a piece of lobster. "Give me a bweak!"
"Tyson!" Hilary whispered harshly at him. "What did I say about talking with your mouth full?"
Tyson rolled his eyes skyward. Rei chuckled, shaking his head in dismay.
"Umm… guys?" Kenny queried nervously. "Who's going to pay for the bill?"
Silence descended over the table. The Bladebreakers looked at each other uneasily. Who was going to pay for the bill?
"I think Tyson should," Hilary announced haughtily. "He ate the most."
"Well I think that… Rei should pay!" Tyson shot back.
"Why do I have to pay?" Rei asked incredulously.
Just when the argument was about escalate, a man in a tuxedo walked to their table, smiling wanly. The Bladebreakers stopped their bickering to turn their attention to the newcomer.
"May I be so kind as to inquire what all this noise is about?" the man asked, icy blue eyes glittering.
"Um… well you see… the problem is…" Hilary stammered.
"You are unable to pay for the meal?" the man finished.
"Um… yeah," Kenny agreed sheepishly.
"Do not worry!" The man grinned, showing teeth. "The meal is on the house. You are the champion beyblade team, the Bladebreakers, are you not?"
"Yeah we are!" Rei smiled.
"Thanks a lot sir!" Max exclaimed exuberantly.
"The pleasure was mine." The man bowed and left the table.
Kai glared at the retreating back of the man and turned back to his team. "We should leave now. I think we have overstayed our welcome."
Godfrey gritted his teeth in anger, watching them leave the restaurant. If he hadn't stepped in when he had, the Bladebreakers would never have left. They just had to mess up all his well thought out plans. Oh well. Minor setback. Everything will go smoothly now. He'll assure it.
"Wow!" Hilary looked up into the night sky. "It's so beautiful!"
"You can see the Milky Way so clearly here!" Kenny whispered with reverence.
"Good thing we all have our own tents." Max giggled. "I wouldn't want to hear Tyson snoring!"
"I don't snore!" Tyson protested.
"Actually, you do." Hilary agreed.
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
As the two started bickering once again, Kai stared out into the darkness, frowning. He was sure that the waiter had been Godfrey. But what was he doing there? And why? He took a deep breath of air and his ears registered something rustling in the bushes. He swung around to the rest of the Bladebreakers.
"Guys, quiet for a moment." Kai glared into the bushes. "Did you hear that noise? Something's out there."
"My, my Kai, what big ears you have!" someone commented slyly.
"Hey boys! Heads up!" a girl's voice penetrated the darkness.
A beyblade hurtled out of nowhere, slashing all the tents as it passed. The blade stopped by the fire, spinning rapidly.
Everyone turned as a girl with blue hair in two ponytails stepped out from the shadows, smirking. Three other boys stood behind her.
"Who are you guys?" Tyson demanded.
The boy with vivid purple hair stepped forward, grinning evilly. "We're your worst nightmare."
Oh no! The poor Bladebreakers. Too bad they didn't listen to Kai in the first place. I wonder what's gonna happen in the next chappie, hm? I'm sorry for not updating so long. I've been busy lately now that I'm starting grade 11. It's hard, with all that homework piling up already. Anyway, I hope you really enjoyed this chappie. If not… tell me! I'll change it to your liking if you want. Well, so long folks and don't forget to R&R!
