I want to thank those that reviewed me.
The BladeBreakers had a little party since they won another tournament. While everyone was pigging out, talking, or whatever, Kaida was sitting by the window looking out and being in deep thoughts. She wasn't hungry; at least that's what she said. Ray and Max went over to Tek and Chris.
"So, can you guys tell us what's going on with your friend, Kaida?" Ray asked. Tek looked around to make sure no else is listening. Chris looked to check to make sure Kaida isn't listening in.
"Okay, it happened a long time ago," Tek began.
Kaida's Story:
Chris, Ulrich, and Tek have found bitbeasts but Kaida didn't. But she is still a very skilled blader even without one. One day, Chris and Kaida were walking by a river talking about Beyblades.
"Are you serious?" Chris asked,
"Yup! I'm going to be the best female blader in the world! If not, the best blader in the world!" said Kaida,
"I don't think so," said Chris shaking his finger,
"Don't forget your team," he reminded,
"Besides, I'm going to be the world's best blader!" said Chris. Then Tek who appeared out of nowhere says,
"No way! Sorry to burst you bubble my fellow teammates (blows bubble gum). But I'm going to be the best blader in the world!" And then Ulrich appears from nowhere and adds,
"I don't think so! I will be the best blader!"
"Yeah, sure," said Tek,
"Come on guys! I don't know who will be the best blader, but we will be the best blading team!" said Kaida.
"(sigh) That's why we follow you, Kaida, you point out something good that the rest of us don't see," said Chris. Tek nods in agreement,
"Yeah, I admit, and it's weird that without a bitbeast you're still a challenge when you vs. us. But you still lose since your blade is weaker than ours without a bitbeast," she said.
"You're making it sound like she'll be even more powerful when she does get a bitbeast!" said Ulrich.
"Well, I'm not afraid to challenge myself. Even if my opponent has a bitbeast and I don't, I still think I can stand a chance!" said Kaida. But before anyone can say anything else about the topic, Chris stopped everyone,
"Wait! Everyone stop!"
"What's wrong Chris?" Ulrich asked,
"I just realized that we're walking into the Blade Sharks's territory!" Chris answered,
"We are?" Tek cried in surprise.
"Then why are we still standing around here!" Ulrich asked eagerly.
Kaida blinks twice, "Why is it bad again?" she asked.
(Everyone anime falls)
"How could you not hear about the Blade Sharks?" Tek yelled,
"They're really strong and a dangerous blading team!" said Ulrich,
"Their leader is a guy named Kai. He's the strongest blader known around here right now!" said Chris.
"Am I supposed to be afraid?" Kaida asked,
"YES!" they all answered.
"You guys! If you act like this, how are you going to be the best blader in the world huh? And besides, I don't know what's so scary about or dangerous about the Blade Sharks, they can't be that bad," said Kaida,
"They take other people's blades if they think it's worth using," said Ulrich,
"And I heard that Kai is merciless!" said Tek,
"And they're not afraid of attacking the blades or the bladers!" said Chris,
"Especially Kai!" he added.
"Are you sure those aren't just rumors?" Kaida asked,
"NO!" They all answered.
"I'm usually a nice person, but if all that is true, then why is not one person doing anything about it?" Kaida shouted.
"You're also making this Kai person sound like a stuck-up jerk!" then her friends go pale.
"Um, Kaida," Chris began,
"This Kai is probably just a weak wanna-be blader who hides behind his team like most bullies do," her friends now look scared,
"I don't care if this is the Blade Sharks' territory; they don't have the right to take other people's beyblades! They're a disgrace to the beyblade name!" now Ulrich looks as if he's about to faint. "What?" Kaida asked knowing that guys don't usually faint like girls.
"Heh, a wanna-be blader? I could say the same thing about you, weakling,"
Kaida turned around. There was a moment of silence,
"Who are you suppose to be?" Kaida asked.
(Anime-like all freaks out)
"Kaida! Stop trying to get yourself killed! That's Kai!" said Chris,
"This is Kai? He doesn't look that scary or tough!" said Kaida.
Everyone freaks out even more.
"For a girl, you got a loud and a rude mouth," said Kai,
"And for a guy, you're a mean person to go around taking other people's beyblades. Oh wait, most guys are like that (Chris and Ulrich glares) I said MOST guys! (Ulrich and Chris calms down) Man! You are a stuck-up jerk! You wanna-be blader!" "Though I admit he's good looking," she thought.
"You really are trying to get hurt aren't you? I dare you to say that again!" said Kai,
"Wanna-Be Blader!"
"Say that again!" said Kai angrily,
"W-A-N-N-A-B-E-B-L-A-D-E-R!"
"You've crossed the line!" said Kai taking out his blade, Kaida too.
Tek is freaked out,
"I don't know her!"
Chris steps on her foot,
"Ooowww! What was that for?" Tek cried,
"We're her friends. We're supposed to be behind her all the way!" said Chris,
"We've been behind her the entire time," said Ulrich with a sweatdrop,
"I mean we're suppose to be there to support her!" said Chris.
"I hate to admit it, but Chris is right. Kaida never abandoned us before when we were in a jam. This is the least we can do," said Ulrich.
"Ok…I don't know her!" Tek cried,
"KIRA!" (With veins) both boys hit her on the head.
"Your so-called friend over there is ready to ditch you. I guess you're all wanna-be bladers," said Kai
"Say what?" the three shouted,
"We are not wanna-be bladers!" said Chris
"I'll take you on!" said Ulrich
"You idiot! You dufus! You, you, you…jerk! You rascal! I'm behind Kaida all the way! She'll beat you anytime! Anywhere!" said Tek.
Chris had a sweatdrop on,
"You're afraid to challenge Kai yourself aren't you?" he asked,
"Of course I am! I'm not insane like Kaida! Or you two!" said Tek with a fist.
(Boys and Kaida anime sighs)
"Gee, thanks for your support," said Kaida.
Chris is ref.
"3-2-1…Let it rip!"
"Go Dranzer!"
The battle was fast and Dranzer literally tore her blade apart. Her blade was in pieces.
Kaida fell to her knees. Kai stepped on the pieces,
"Next time, I would watch your mouth! You're not a blader and you never will be!" he said and kicked the pieces,
"Ouch," said Tek,
"I've never seen such a weak blader in my life! You're the wanna-be blader! You're a disgrace to the beyblade name! And you're nothing but a girl that has an impossible dream!"
Kaida said nothing, still on her knees with her head down.
Kai smirks,
"That's right, kneel down, whimper and cry like the weakling you are!" he said and began to leave.
Her friends ran up to her,
"Hey! Wasn't that a little too harsh?" Ulrich asked,
"Yeah! And you had a bitbeast giving you an advantage and you knew it!" shouted Chris,
"You can't say that to my friend and get away with it!" said Tek and she threw a small rock at him. Kai caught it.
"Dang it!"
"Kaida right? If I were you, I wouldn't rely on friends," said Kai.
"Back off!" said Chris,
"You shouldn't even be talking to her!" said Ulrich.
"Come and say an insult to my face if you dare! Moron!" Kai ignored Tek and continued walking,
"Yah you better run! Err, Walk!"
"No," said Kaida has she held one of her hands up still with her head down and still on her knees and was going to cry,
"Don't bother,"
"Kaida, don't listen to him," said Ulrich
"Yeah! He's a jerk anyway," said Tek.
Tears formed and flowed down Kaida's cheeks,
"But he's right,"
"Oh no…" said Chris worriedly. But all three had the same expression on.
Present:
Ray and Max were lost for words.
"Kaida learned a lesson that day: never talk and not walk," said Chris and then drinking his soda.
"You see, Kaida lives by herself now. Chris, Ulrich and I are the only family members she has. We're friends, but she sees us as family. Kaida never knew her real family and grew up on the streets, in the alley, until she met us," Tek explained.
"Wow…" was all Max could say,
"Why didn't you guys enter the tournament around that time?" Ray asked,
"We couldn't. Not without Kaida," said Tek,
"Kaida found her bitbeast by then but she said we weren't ready. That we all had to train a bit more," said Chris.
"I'll talk to her," said Ray.
"Remember this Ray. Kaida has only known three friends all her life, it would mean a lot if she could make another one," said Chris.
Ray nodded understanding.
Ray walked over to Kaida with a plate of food,
"Here, I thought you might be hungry, cooked it myself," said Ray putting it down next to her and sitting down by the window with her.
"I'm Ray in case you didn't know," he said reaching his hand out.
Kaida took it,
"Kaida Wei," she said.
"Wei? Are you Chinese?" he asked,
"Yeah, half actually. I never knew my family, but I do remember I'm half Chinese and half Japanese," she said. It made sense since 'Wei' is Chinese and 'Kaida' is Japanese.
"Are you seeking revenge?" Ray asked,
"I don't know anymore. I know I did before, but now I think that it's wrong. My bitbeast could do better than that. I saw an opening during the battle but Phearohnix wouldn't listen," said Kaida looking at her beyblade.
"Give it some time, the answer will come to you," said Ray,
"Thanks…hey, how can you stand Kai?" she asked,
"You're friends told me what happened. And Kai isn't like that anymore. He beybattles with honor, he's not the Kai you knew when you met him. That's why his team can stand him," said Ray.
Kaida was silent for a moment,
"I'm going out, thanks for talking to me, Ray, and thanks for the food," she said standing up and taking the plate of food with her. She grabbed chopsticks and went outside.
That evening, Tyson invited the Mystic Bladers to stay the night and they accepted,
"We have no where to go anyway!" said Tek cheerfully.
"No where to go? What do you mean by that?" Max asked,
"Oh nothing!" Tek said quickly.
"Shouldn't we ask Kaida first?" Ulrich asked,
"Ask me what?" Kaida asked holding the plate that is now cleaned out of food,
"If we could spend the night here," Chris asked.
Tek looked hopeful and so did the BladeBreakers. Kaida looked at their faces for a moment,
"Very well," she said.
Tek and Ulrich cheered, and Chris just smiled.
Ray grabbed Kaida's wrist and went to the kitchen,
"I'll take that," he said taking the plate and started washing it,
"I'm just warning you that we're all spending the night here, including Kai,"
Kaida shuttered hearing that,
"I promise, he's not like that anymore. And judging from what you acted when you first met Kai back then from what you act now, I'd say that you changed too," said Ray,
"I have. In many ways. Back then, I thought I had everything; my friends were all I needed. That's why I wasn't afraid of what others think of me. But after my defeat from Kai…my spirit broke and I lost all my confidence. Phearohnix brought that all back but since then, I know not to get ahead of myself because it comes back to bite you," There was a moment of silence,
"I'm going to have one more battle with Kai. This time, I'll fight to prove that I am a blader. Not for revenge. One more battle," she said as she holds Phearohnix.
That night, Kai had a dream, and it showed how he met her so it was more of a memory dream. Kai woke up sweating. He held his head,
"I remember her now," he said. He got up and went out side to train a little.
"I can't believe those words came from my mouth," he said as Dranzer missed the target he was aiming for,
"Great! Now I can't concentrate!"
"Didn't know you train when you couldn't sleep,"
Kai turned,
"Nor did I know that you talk to yourself," said Kaida.
Kai smirked,
"I see you still joke around," he said,
"So you do remember me,"
"Yeah, you've gotten much stronger I'll admit that much," he said.
Kaida hasn't made eye contact yet. She's been leaning on a tree looking sideways. She started walking towards him, now making eye contact.
Kai noticed that her eyes weren't as cold as before,
"One more battle," she said,
"You're on," said Kai as both bladers were holding their launchers in front of them.
