Chapter 18: Day of Training
"Take your best shot." Blair said as her crimson colored blade glided around the stadium. "Triple fury attack!" Ally, Trisha, and Jessie said together. "Flare Fire Illusion!" Blair said. All three blades hit Blair's blade. "Keep going Flare." Blair said. Flare start pushing the opposing blades. "Now! Cross-fire!" Blair said. In a blink of an eye all three blades flew out. Blair was out of break from the attack and after calling back her blade sat on the ground.
"Great job you guys." Blair said. "Cross-fire? When did you learn that?" Jessie asked. Blair smiled. "It's a new attack Flare and I have been working on." Blair said still panting. "You ok?" Ally asked worried. "Yah. It just we haven't perfected that attack and its hard to use. I'll be ok. I just need to rest a moment." Blair said. "Here." Trisha said passing Blair her water bottle. "Thanks. Jessie and Ally. Both of you against Trish." Blair ordered. The three nodded and walked to the stadium. "Let it Rip!" They said together.
(Blair's POV)
I had just sent Jessie, Ally and Trisha into battle so I could rest and be by myself for awhile. Flare and I were finally able to use the attack that we have been working on for a couple weeks now. It felt like a huge accomplishment but I can't possibly battle like this. If I use that attack It will wear me down. I have to perfect it. And there is only one way to do so. Practice it on my team.
(Regular POV)
"Double attack!" Ally and Jessie said together. Blair quickly stood up and launched her blade getting hit with the attack. Her blade flew backwards. "Go against me again. I need to perfect this." Blair said with much determination in her voice. "If you said so." Trisha said. 'I hope she knows what she is doing.' Trisha thought. The three attacked Flare with their own attacks and combining them into one. Blair took a step back from all the power they made. "Flare. Cross-fire!" Blair said. But this time only Ally's blade flew out. Blair looked around for Trisha and Jessie's blade. The were both on the sides of the stadium and dodged the attack. 'Arg. Only got one out this time. I need to perfect this before tomorrow so that I know I'm prepared for the bladebreakers. I'll Try it again.' Blair thought. "One last time. Cross-fire!" Blair said. Both blade's flew out. Blade reached out her hand and caught her blade.
"Were done for today. Great Job." Blair said. "Thanks. You did great too. That new attack is awesome!" Ally said. "Heh." Blair said."Well what should we do now?" Jessie asked. "You guys go do something. I'm gonna go off for awhile. See you later." Blair said. She grabbed her water bottle and walked off. "Is it me or does she seem stressed?" Jessie asked. "I think she is just trying to perfect that attack and its not working out how she wants it too. I say we leave her alone. She'll come around." Trisha said. "Ok." Ally said. She glanced at the direction where Blair walked. 'Were behind you all the way Blair. Remember were a team and together were one.' Ally thought.
(Blair's POV)
I walked away from my team. I knew that they might be starting to worry being as this is not how I usually act. But this attack is going to be my strongest and last resort in battle. If I don't master it we could very well lose. 'Flare...How are you doing? I'm I working you to hard?' I asked my bitbeast. I'm good mistress. If you want to practice more, I'm ready. Flare answered. 'Just let me find a good spot.' I said. I could picture in her head the large fire bird nodding its head. I found a place far from the park and closer to the near by beach. It was surrounded by many rocks and large boulders. In my head they were perfect to practice on.
"Let it Rip!" I said. I launched I blade towards the first rock. I took a deep breath before starting. "Cross-Fire!" I said. My blade quickly spun to the rock and blasted it to shreds. "Again."I said. 'I have to be able to do this simultaneously in case I really need it.' I thought. Flare headed to the second rock but before it could do the next attack it stopped spinning. I growled quietly and picked up my blade. Panting I decided to sit down and rest again. Settle down mistress, concentrate. Begin anew. Flare said. "How can I? The tournament starts again tomorrow." I said aloud. You can do it mistress. I'm behind you and so is your team. Flare said. 'My team...You ready to go again?' Blair asked. Sure are. Flare said.
Regular POV
"Let it Rip!" Blair said. She felt recharged as if waking up from a long sleep. "Go Flare. Cross-Fire!" Blair said. Her blade went through the second rock and soon after the third, forth, and fifth. And best of all it was still spinning strongly."Yes we did it!" Blair said. "Try again. Cross-Fire!" Blair called. Her blade spun rapidly and charged through four more quite large boulders but only went through one when someone caught her attention. She sighed and caught her blade in her hand.
"Who are you?" Blair asked questionably. "That doesn't matter right now. I see that you are a blader. Blair right?" The man asked. He was much taller then her and he intimidated her. "Maybe. What's it to you?" Blair asked. "I'v been watching you. You have great power. I could help you to learn that move and more." He said. "Why me?" Blair asked. "Because you have much talent. Talent that you still don't know about, not even I. I could help you." He said. Blair narrowed her eyes at the man. "Think about it. If you want to talk again. Here." He said and handed her a small white card with a phone number on it. Blair took it and put it in her pocket then she watched as he walked away. 'That was...weird.' Blair said. Something seems all to fishy about him. Flare said.
"Let's try again. Numerously this time. Let it Rip!" Blair said launching her blade again. He went for the rocks and boulders that were still all together just waiting to be blasted into smithereens. "Go Cross-Fire." Blair said. Her blade went and his the first four. "Again!" Blair said. It went for the next couple of rocks. But suddenly one rock was hit and a bunch of rocks started to fall. Mistress watch out! Flare said sensing the fall. Blair looked at the rocks starting to fall down the hill. She caught her blade and started running away from the falling rocks.
(With the Bladebreakers)
The Bladebreakers were walking along the beach currently taking a break from their training. "Hey what's that sound?" Ray asked. "It sounds like a rock slide or something." Max said. "Because it is." Kai said looking at where there was a cloud of brown dust and dirt raising into the air. "Let's go check it out." Tyson said. They ran towards the slide. By time they got there the smoke started to clear. Kai casted his glance into the smoke. He thought he saw something. And he had a bad feeling about all this. "I'll be right back." Kai said. He jogged closer to where he thought he saw something.
He neared the spot and saw a shadow of that looked like a person. He gasp when he could finally see who it was. "Blair" He whispered. He ran to her side and started to see if she was ok. She was breathing rapidly. Kai picked her up bridal style and took farther away from the rock slide. "What happened!" Ray asked seeing Blair in Kai's arms. "She was near the rock slide." Kai said. He laid her on the ground to try to wake her up. "Blair...Blair can you hear me?" Kai called. Blair woke up and coughed. "What happened?" Blair asked. "That's what we were hoping you could tell us. Are you ok?" Kai asked. "Yah..." Blair said. She looked over to where she was practicing before. "I was practicing and next thing I knew there was a rock slide." Blair said remembering what happened.
"Thanks you guys." Blair said. She started to try stand up which failed. She stumbled backwards into Kai's arms again. She gridded her teeth in pain. Apparently she sprained her ankle. She smiled weakly. "Mind helping me back to my house?" She asked timidly looking into Kai's crimson eyes. He nodded. "See you later." Kai said helping Blair to walk.
After awhile Blair started to gain strength to walk by herself but Kai stayed incase she fell. Once at the house Blair opened the door and walked in. No one seemed to be home. "You go lay down. I'll get you some ice for you ankle." Kai said. Blair nodded and went to the couch. She took off her shoes before laying down. It was now evident that it was sprained. It was all black and blue around the spot. Kai came back with a bag of ice and a washcloth. He sat down beside her and put the washcloth over her foot and then but the ice on top. "How's you ankle?" Kai asked. "I think I'll be ok."Blair said winking and giving a smile. "You should get it checked out." Kai said. "I really don't think its broken, just sprained. You just have to keep it wrapped up and supposed to stay off of it for a week." Blair said stubbornly. "Alright. I know I can't make you." Kai said. "That's for sure." Blair said smiling.
"Are you going to stay here or are you going back to the hotel?" Kai asked. "Go back there. My parents are taking a mini vacation and I don't want to be here alone." Blair said. "Then how about I walk you to the hotel?" Kai asked. "That would be great!" Blair said giving him a quick peck on the cheek. They walked out the door and started walking down the street. Suddenly it started raining. "Great. Can my day get any worse?" Blair said sarcastically. Kai being always prepared had an umbrella with him. He pulled it out and opened in. He then held it above Blair and his own head keeping them sheltered from the rain. "Thanks for everything Kai." Blair said looking into his deep crimson eyes. "You welcome. If you ever need anything. You know who to call." Kai said.
Soon they arrived at the hotel. Kai walked her to her room and together they waited to be let in.
(Inside)
"Hey do you think it's Blair?" Ally asked. "I hope so. I hope she wouldn't be out in this rain. She could get sick." Trisha said worriedly. "Well just don't stand here someone open the door!" Jessie said. "Oh right." Ally said. She walked up to the door and opened it. There stood Blair and Kai. "Blair! We were so worried about you!" Ally said. Blair and Kai walked in. Trisha quickly noticed Blair's ankle wrapped up in a bandage. "Blair...What happened?" Trisha said pointing at her ankle. "Heh. I was kinda caught in a rock slide and I fell." Blair said. "A rock slide?" Trisha said. "Yes." Blair said. "Girl, You gotta be more careful." Jessie said. "I'm gonna go. See you at the tournament tomorrow." Kai said. "Bye Kai. Thanks again." Blair said giving him a short good-bye kiss. Kai nodded and led himself out.
"Blair don't tell me your still participate." Trisha said. "Well I am. This is not going to hold me back." Blair said. "But-" Trisha started but was cut off. "But nothing. I will participate. I like to have action too. Don't worry I have a couple days until the final round. I'll be better." Blair said. "Just don't let your pride take you over." Trisha said. Ally and Jessie looked and listened to the argument. Ally leaned over and whispered to Jessie. "How can those two be best friends when they get into these full on arguments?" She said. "I know yah." Jessie answered. "Just don't hurt yourself anymore. It's been a long day we all should go get some shut eye." Trisha said. "That I can agree with." Blair said walking towards her bed. Ally and Jessie sweat-dropped. "Thats how. Their arguments end like that." Jessie said sighing.
(Blair's POV)
I laid in bed. I have been putting on a tough act all day. I acted like my ankle wasn't bothering me but really it was hurting a lot. Almost to were I couldn't stand the pain. But like I told Trish it wasn't going to stop me. Our team is going to win. Suddenly my thoughts wondered back to when that strange man approached me in the gorge near the beach. Did he really mean what he said or is he just bluffing. And still why does he want to help me. Just by meeting him he didn't seem like a person which would do something for someone without wanting something in return. I reached into my pocket and looked at the card. I stared at it for awhile before putting it back in my pocket. After awhile of staring at the dark plain ceiling I fell into a peaceful deep sleep.
There the end of that. It seemed like I was repeating a lot yah? maybe its just be. But I think I said a line or two at least 4 times. lol well please leave a review on your way out...ttyl byebye
