Chapter 20: Switching Sides Without Knowing
"Time to finish this! Flare! Fire Illusion!" Blair said. Her blade glowed a crimson color before her bitbeast came out for the attack. There was a blast of smoke that covered the stadium."And we have a winner. It's Blair! The Alaula Bladers made a clean swipe! They take their place in the final rounds. Give them a round of applause!" DJ Jazzman said. Blair gave a deep sigh and caught her blade in her hand. Then walked back to her team.
"Great job!" Ally said happily. "Were going to the finals!" Jessie said with a large smile. Blair gave a fake smile. She had to many things running through her mind. Such as the finals. She knew that this was going to be their toughest match yet. With many other things as well. "Something wrong?" Ally suddenly asked. "No. I can't believe that were going to the finals already!" Blair said lying.
(Later)
"Well let's get these battles started. Who is taking the final place in the final rounds? The Dark-Icy Bladers or the Bladebreakers?"DJ Jazzman asked.
The two teams walked into the arena. "Hey Chief... Who are they?" Tyson asked pointing to the other team. "Tyson it's not polite to point." Hilary said with a slight angry tone. "Still who are they?" Tyson asked. "I have no idea. I didn't get anything on their past battles which means they are a complete mystery. Just hang tight." Kenny said.
(With the other team)
I girl with long black hair with blue streaks wearing a shirt with a happy bunny that says 'I am surrounded by idiots' and black baggy jeans stood silently observing the competition. Her icy blue eyes took in everything about them. She had a ear piece which she was using to communicate to someone.
"So these are the famous Bladebreakers? They don't look that tough." She said. "Looks can be deceiving my dear. Now you know what you are to do. Do not fail." A man said to her. She grimaced at the voice and took out the ear piece. "Why do we even work for him?" Another girl asked. She had long silver hair and was wearing a black miniskirt. She had a long red over coat with a red tank top underneath. "Because we don't really have a choice." Another girl said. She had black, shoulder length hair and was dressed in a black top and black skirt. The last girl, Kira, had blond hair and wore blue jeans with a white under shirt and a black hoodie. She stayed quiet. She seemed to be the only one who didn't mind who they worked for.
"First person please walk up. First we have Erica vs. Max!" DJ Jazzman said. They both walked up and got ready. 3...2...1...Let it Rip!
Both blades hit the stadium and made contact. "Your defensive moves Max aren't going to help you this time. Atlanta! ice throw!" Erica said. The Black and red blade attack Draciel with ice. A soon after covered the opposing blade with ice to where Draciel could now longer move. "Draciel! Break out of the ice!" Max said. It took a little bit but Draciel broke through the ice and ice shards flew everywhere hitting Erica's blade. "Draciel! Heavy Viper Wall!" Max said. The attack was made and Atlanta flew out of the stadium."Max wins! Next up we have Kiro vs. Ray!" DJ Jazzman announced.
Kiro and Ray walked up to the stadium and readied their blades. 3...2...1...Let it Rip! Both blades landed gracefully on the stadium and quickly spun around. Both waiting for the other person to attack. Both of them at the same time called upon their bitbeasts. Kiro's was a black cat with red stripes. Driger was the glorious white tiger. Both cat's gave a roar and attacked. "Darkness. Dark Sky Illusion!" Kiro commanded. The sky dimmed slightly and an illusion was made. "Driger! Tiger Claw!" Ray said. Both blades hit and Ray's blade tumbled out of the the stadium. "And were tied at one to one. Each team has a point. This next one is winner takes all folks. Next up are the team captains. Kin and Kai." DJ Jazzman announced.
3...2...1...Let it Rip!
Both blades hit in mid-air before landing in the stadium below. They circled around each other before making contact again. "Dranzer!" Kai called bringing out his bitbeast. Dranzer came out and flew above giving a loud screech. "Playing with bitbeasts huh? Shadow!" Kin said calling out hers. Immediately both were tackling and attacking each other. "Shadow! Ice Mirror!" Kin commanded. A large ice shield was made sheltering the large black wolf from damage. "Melt it with Fire Arrow!" Kai said. After many fiery arrows, Dranzer broke through. "Finish this. Dranzer! Flame Saber!" Kai said. "Shadow! Darkest Depth!" Kin commanded. Both blades hit each other making a large cloud. After it cleared you were able to see who won.
"Winner is Kai! The Bladebreakers Take the round meaning they move on to face the Alaula bladers in the finals!" DJ Jazzman announced.
(With the Dark-ice Bladers)
"He's not going to be happy." Kira said as Kin walked back. "You shouldn't be talking. You didn't even battle." Kin said coldly. "Yah I didn't but I would have won." Kira said. "You can't prove that." Erica said. "Look just let it go. We lost ok? We just have to deal with it. Anyways. I'm sure he has other plans. Now...Let's get going." Kiro said. Everyone followed Kin out of the stadium in which after they disappeared into the shadows.
(With the Bladebreakers)
"Whoo hoo! Were facing Blair in the next round!" Tyson said. "Settle down Tyson. If your that cocky Blair's team is just going to beat easier." Ray said. "Who says I'm being cocky? I'm just saying that were battling them next just like we wanted too." Tyson retorted. Ray sighed. The whole team was talking about the next battle but Kai was thinking of something else. 'Blair. Her team is very strong. Can we beat them? Not only that. Something is up. But what?' He thought to himself.
(With Blair/ Blair's POV)
We got our place in the finals and now I decided to take a walk. Suddenly I remembered the dream I had last night. With that guy in it. I started to get curious if it meant for us to join him. Sure he could train us. But would he really do this for nothing in return. He does not seem like that type of a generous person. My hand reached into my pocket and I pulled out the card he gave me. It had no name on who he was but a number. I decided to give him a call and meet with him again. I found a pay phone and dialed the number. He quickly picked up.
"Hello?" He asked. "Hi. This is Blair. I'd l-" I started but was cut off. "Like to talk to me? Meet me at the ware house on 14th street. I'll be there." He said and hung up. 'That was different. I guess. I should go.' I Thought. I reached into my pocket to make sure I had my blade. I thought I might need it in case something happens.
I started walking towards the ware house when I bumped into someone. I fell backwards but whoever it was caught me. "Oh I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching..." I started but then realized who it was. "It's ok. Wanna go do something?" Kai asked letting go of my hand. "Sorry Kai. I hafta go somewhere. Maybe later okay?" I said. I walked around him and walked towards my destination. 'Go somewhere? Where do you have to go with out anyone with you? Should I follow her? But I don't want her to think I'm stalking her.' Kai thought but made up his mind. But as he walked to catch up with her, she disappeared into the crowd of people.
(Regular POV)
Blair neared the ware house and entered through a door on the side. It appeared dark and freaky. It gave her a bad feeling. She got her blade ready incase. Suddenly the lights turned on and Blair saw the man sitting on a chair next to a table. "Hello my dear. Come sit." He offered. Blair put her blade back into her pocket and sat down. "So what did you want to discuss?" The man asked. "Well this is a little off subject but... What's your name?" Blair asked. "Ah yes. My name is Boris Balkov. But you can just call be Boris." He said. "Okay. Well I wanted to talk about the offer. Would you allow my team to join as well as me?" Blair asked. "Yes. It wouldn't be nice to separate you from your team now would it?" Boris replied. "Why do you want to help me?" Blair asked. "Because I help those who need help. I can tell that you need help to do that move, and I can help you. I have a large beyblading facility." Boris said. "And there is no catch? Sorry to say but, you just don't look like the type of person who would do such a thing without a catch." Blair said staring him straight in the eye. "No catch. So do you accept or not?" Boris asked.
Blair stayed quiet thinking this over. She knew what she wanted to do but would it be good for her team? Not to mention they would be joining a mysterious guy that they don't know anything about except he knows stuff about beyblading. Blair could feel his gaze looking at her, waiting patiently for an answer. "If I see something I don't like...I assure you...Were gone. But for now. I accept." Blair finally said. Boris smiled and held out his hand. "Welcome aboard." Boris said. Blue shook his hand and said good-bye and then walked out of the ware house. He gave her another card with an address on where the facility was.
Blair walked back to the Hotel to tell her team about where they would be practicing for the next week. "A beyblading Facility huh?" Trisha asked. "Yah. He said that he can help us." Blair said. "You don't think at all that the Bladebreakers might think were cheating?" Ally asked. "I don't think so. I mean they know all my moves almost just as good as you guys do. And I trained them for awhile. This can just be our training. Don't worry I told him that if there's anything we don't like that were gone." Blair assured. "Who exactly is this guy?" Trisha asked. "His name is Boris Balkov. He just has offered to help us." Blair said. "Thats it? You don't know anything else? I don't know if this is such a smart move Blair." Trisha said. "How about this. We try it for a day or two then we decide?" Blair asked. "Deal." Jessie said.
(Later that day6pm)
Trisha told her team mates she was going on a walk. She walked over to Tyson's Dojo. She still did not have a good feeling about this guy 'Boris'. She was hoping that maybe the Bladebreakers have heard of him.
"Hey Trisha what are you doing here so late?" Max asked. "I need to ask you guys something." Trisha said. "Ok what?" Tyson asked. "Do you guys know anything about a guy named Boris Balkov?" Trisha asked. Kai froze at the sound of that name. "You better take this one Kai." Ray said. Kai made a gesture for her to follow him outside.
"Why do you want to know about him?" Kai asked. "I just want to know who he is. Blair has been talking to him lately and-" Trisha started. "Blair? What has she been doing?" Kai asked. "She has agreed to let him work with us. Train us or something." Trisha said. "Boris Balkov is a very dangerous man. He is someone who you don't want to be working for." Kai said. "Why?" Trisha asked. "Because he uses beyblading as a weapon. He gets bladers and tricks them into working for him. He is intent on taking over the world." Kai explained. "What? Taking over the world using Beyblading? Thats horrible! Kai, you have to talk to her." Trisha said. "Me?"Kai asked. "Yes. You know more about this guy than me. What you just told me is not possibly going to be enough. You need to tell her everything you know about him. We can help stop him." Trisha said. "I will. But it won't be as easy. Boris has spy's everywhere. He will try to keep me away from her. But don't worry." Kai said.
