Thank you SOOOO much for the reviews on the first chapter. it made me feel so loved! Oh, and sorry to anyone who tried to leave an anonymous review, I didn't know that they were blocked, but I think I fixed that!hyperness, i was laughing at what your guess was for the whole Kai-thing 'cause it was funny. Not that I'm laughing at you just the ideas that people arecoming up with.Oh, and thanks to those who had something to say about my name, andI guess I'll just leave it the same.And to essenceofthedark, you have no idea how close you are to the truth… you actually have the main idea… but enough of this! On with the chapter!
Disclaimer: same as last chapter. Too bad if you're too lazy to go back and look; I'm too lazy to type it again…
Chapter Two:
XXX-Rei's POV-XXX
After Kai picked Dranzer's motionless blade up, he turned to Tyson and Max.
"You're up next, so get ready," he stated, backing away from the dish so they could take their places. They stared at him, still dazed at what happened with Dranzer, or rather, what didn't happen with Dranzer. They snapped out of it, however, and took their places, poised to launch.
Right before they pulled the ripcords, we heard a voice calling out to us.
"WAIT! Don't start yet!"
We all turned to see who it was, and saw Kenny running up the path with Dizzi tucked under his arm. When he finally reached us, he bent over panting. After he got his breath back, he stood up straight and opened Dizzi and set up the camera thingy on the side.
"Okay, now we can start. I want to record all the matches today so I can anaylize your blades to see if any of them need an upgrade," he explained to us. We nodded in response, minus Kai, that is.
"Three, two, one… Let it rip!" everyone but Kai yelled as Tyson and Max pulled their ripcords. Dragoon and Draciel flew into the dish and crashed immeadietly, knocking them both to the edge of the dish.
"C'mon, Dragoon!" Tyson yelled at his blade as it recovered and started circling the dish.
"Draciel!" Max yelled at his blade went to the center of the dish, taking a defensive position.
This continued for several minutes, until all of a sudden, to everyone's surprise, Draciel shot out at Dragoon, knocking the blade out of the dish.
"Yes! We did it!" Max jumped up in the air as Draciel shot back into his hand. Tyson bent down and picked up his blade, still in shock at Max's unexpected move that gave him victory.
"That was a very good strategy Max. what made you think of it?" Chief asked the now extremely hyper blonde. The American turned to face him, still wearing his cheesy grin.
"I don't know where it came from. I just thought I should try being offensive for once. Looks like Draciel's strong at attacking, too," he giggled.
"Hmph. Not exactly. Draciel isn't stronger than Dragoon, Tyson just wasn't expecting your attack and let his guard down during the battle," Kai spoke up, once again with a scowl on his face. Max's face fell slightly as Kai spoke, but refused to get down.
"Still, surprise is a good tactic, you've taught us that, Kai," I spoke up, coming to Max's rescue. Said blonde flashed me a grateful smile.
"Hn. Back to training. Rei, Max, get ready to battle," Kai said. Max and I nodded before taking our places at the dish.
"Three, two, one… Let it rip!" we both yelled as our blades shot into the dish. Max was trying to be offensive again, but I avoided his attack and circled the dish, once again having a faster than normal launch.
"Wow! Driger's speed has increased exponentialy today, Rei!" Kenny exclaimed, looking at Dizzi's screen. I smirked; this was a good day for me. Max settled down and stayed in the center of the dish as my blade circled his. After a few minutes, he tried the same tactic he used on Tyson, but I saw it coming and dodged before slamming Draciel from the back, knocking him out of the ring. I smiled triumphantly as Driger zipped back into my waiting hand.
"That was amazing, Rei! Driger's speed stayed constant the entire battle, and actually increased at the end! Your blade is in tip-top shape!" Kenny told me.
"So, now what, Kai?" I turned to the captain, who was leaning against a tree. He looked up, then replied.
"Tyson, you and me are next," he told us before standing up and walking over to the dish. Tyson got ready quickly, planning on redeeming himself for his loss against Max, thinking he could beat Kai, who was having a very off day if our battle was any example.
"Three, two, one… Let it rip!" they both yelled as the blue and white blades flew towards each other. At the last second, Dranzer tilted to the side, avoiding Dragoon and they both landed in the dish without coming in contact with each other. Dragoon begin going around the dish, while Dranzer oddly stayed in the center in a seemingly defensive position.
"Kai, whats going on? Dranzer's speed is up like Driger's, but her blade is out of control!" Kenny shouted at the stoic Russian, who had his teeth gritted as he stared at the dish.
"Think I haven't noticed?" he replied sarcastically. Dragoon suddenly shot at the phoenix's blade, which moved slightly to the side to dodge.
"C'mon, Dragoon, give him all you've got!" Tyson yelled at his blade, which began to recklessly attack Dranzer with no noticable pattern or rhythm. Dranzer, however, simply moved the bare minimum to escape the relentless barrage of attacks, almost staying in the same spot.
After almost a minute of this, Dragoon over attacked and flew out of the ring, while Dranzer remained in the center, spinning in small circle.
"Darn it!" Tyson growled as he retrieved his blade, not understanding how he had lost twice in one day, being the world champion. In the dish, Dranzer rolled to a stop as Kai reached in to grab his blade, an unreadable expression on his face.
"That was a very odd battle. Tyson, you didn't even have a straategy, like usual, so you just went and attacked Kai blindly," Kenny spoke up, "And you, Kai. Something is up with Dranzer, because it looked as if you weren't controlling her at all, and she was fighting her own battle out there. Could I see your blade to see if there's anything wrong with it?" Kenny questioned. Kai wordlessly handed over Dranzer, although slightly hesitant it seemed. Kenny examined the blade closely, checking to make sure that the weight disk, attack ring and defence ring were all in tact.
"Well, everything seems to be fine with the blade. So it must be Dranzer the bit-beast that's having an issue right now. Anything you could think of, Kai?" Kenny reported while handing Kai his blade back. Kai took his blade back, and stared at it in his hand.
"Hmph. That's all for now. Do whatever you want until after lunch. Be back here by two o'clock," Kai stated before walking off. Kenny looked at the clock on Dizzi and exclaimed "Wow! It's already noon!"
"Noon? No wonder I'm hungry!" Tyson pretty much shouted, forgetting about his lost battles. "How about lunch, Rei?" he asked me. I chuckled slightly before replying, "You would all starve without me around to cook, wouldn't you?"
"Hey! That's mean Rei!" Tyson retorted, while Max just started laughing. I shook my head before walking back to the dojo to make lunch as Tyson had demanded of me.
XXX- Unknown Location –XXX
He looked at the body lying next to him, unconcious and blissfully unaware of his surroundings.
'But not for long. Soon, very soon, you will understand. After all, you've been trained for circumstances like this, haven't you?' the elder thought with a malicious smirk on his face, the comment directed towards the teen next to him.
He got up, then pussed a button on the remote he was holding and spoke into it.
"Come here and make our 'guest' comfortable," he told the person on the other end.
"Of course. I'll make sure he's welcomed, Sir," the other replied, and you could hear the venomous sarcasm dripping from his voice.
"Good. As soon as he awakes, we will check on the subject," 'Sir' replied.
"As you wish, Sir."
