Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade.

Sorry for the late update, I couldn't log in for some reason.

Yugiohfreak-Thanks for reviewing and as for who will Kaida end up with, even I don't know to be honest.

This chapter probably isn't as important as the others, but it's necessary so here goes:

"Yeah! Kaida! Tyson said he won that round! Which means if we both win our next match, we would fight in the finals!" Tek exclaimed when she barged into the room.

"Yeah, that's an obvious statement since there are only 4 teams left and we're in the semi-finals," said Chris.

Ulrich then motioned Tek and Kaida to the side,

"I haven't seen the Blade Casters anywhere," said Ulrich,

"I didn't either," said Kaida,

"Nope," said Tek.

"What are the chances that we're going to beybattle them at all? They could be knocked out of the tournament already for all we know," said Tek

Then before anyone could say another thing, they were called up for the semi-finals match.

When they got there, they looked at their opponents,

"IT'S THE BLADE CASTERS!" The Mystic Bladers exclaimed.

"Who would have thought," said Ulrich,

"Man! I know! Hey Chris, Chris?" she turned and saw him huddled in a corner.

Tek got a sweatdrop,

"I knew this was going to happen," she said.

"Tek, I'm putting you up first," said Kaida,

"On it!" she said and went to the dish.

The BladeBreakers were watching front row seats in the audience.

"Judging from their reactions, I'd say that these two teams know each other," said Kenny,

"Well duh, and what in the world is wrong with Chris?" Tyson wondered.

Tek and Blaze, a red and blue haired boy and the name 'Blaze' speaks for itself for his clothing.

"Nice to see you again, Kira," said Blaze,

"You know I like being called Tek and don't start flirting with me!" she warned.

"If you don't want me to," said Blaze.

The two got their blades out and launched.

Tek's improved blade was working well. She had more control and it fits her style of battling,

"Wow, I got to thank the Chief after this," she said.

"Not bad," said Ulrich to himself while Kaida tries to convince Chris to stop hiding like a coward.

Tek learned from the many mistakes she made and she's going to prove it,

"Go! Unicorn charge of light!" and the Blade Casters couldn't believe that Blaze lost to Tek.

"YES!" Tek cried.

"Wow, she won," said Ulrich.

"Good job, Tek!" said Kaida,

"Alright, Tek!" cried Max,

"Great battle!" Ray cried,

"You showed them good!" cried Tyson.

"Nice," said Ulrich to Tek as came down from the dish,

"Thanks pal!" she said and sat on the bench.

"Ulrich," said Kaida and Ulrich nodded understanding and went to the dish.

Aqua, a girl with aqua hair color and aqua eyes. And her clothes are in shades of aqua.

"I see her fashion sense still hasn't changed," said Kaida to herself. But Ulrich was thinking the same thing.

"Hey, Ulrich," she winked.

Ulrich just gave an unemotional look (like Kai),

"Let's just get this over with," he said and got his blade out.

The two launched and battled it out.

Meanwhile:

"Kaida please! Don't make me go out there!" he cried,

"If Ulrich wins, then you don't have to….and neither do I,"

"Ulrich! You better win!" Chris cried.

"Don't distract me and I might!" Ulrich shouted back.

"Pay attention to the battle!" Tek warned. But it was a bit late, Aqua made her move.

"Bites of Hungry Sharks!" she cried.

"No way!" said Tek,

The BladeBreakers and Kaida also stared in horror.

"I…underestimated you…." Ulrich said quietly,

"Sure did," said Aqua and walked off.

"So, who's next?" Ulrich asked.

"We have to win this battle and Chris is still freaked out," said Tek.

"And they expect you to battle," said Ulrich.

"Chris, you're battling," said Kaida,

"WHAT?" her team was surprised by her decision.

"But!"

"No 'buts' Chris! Now go!" she ordered.

He did,

"And remember, we're all behind you," Kaida added.

Chris nodded and nervously waited for his opponent.

"Man, look at him, he's all shaky," said Kenny,

"I hope he's alright," said Ray.

Ai ran to the dish,

"HEY CHRISSY! Missed me? Now remember! If you lose you have to go on a date with me!"

Chris shivered a bit at the thought of that and Ai continued rambling on.

"No wonder Chris is afraid. I would be if I were in his shoes," said Ulrich.

"That girl gets scarier every time we see her. She just called Chris 'Chrissy' and that's just plain weird," said Tek.

"That girl is high on sugar," said Max.

"No wonder Chris was shaking in fear. That girl can talk!" said Tyson.

"Yeah, talking about what is the question," said Kai.

She's still talking until D.J. called to start the match.

The two battled.

"Chris will either win or get a draw," said Kaida,

"How do you know?" Ulrich asked.

"Because he always has, and besides, Chris is going to win. GO Chris!" Tek cried.

He battled hard, but the match…was a tie.

"Looks like fate wanted me to battle Zeke," said Kaida and got up.

"Good try," said Tek,

"You almost had her," said Ulrich,

"I'm just glad to be away from her!" said Chris.

"Go get him Kaida!" Tek cheered.

"Yeah! Show them what you got!" said Ulrich.

"There's no way Zeke can beat you! We have this battle won already!" cried Chris.

"Ready?" Zeke asked.

Kaida said nothing and kept that serious face on.

They battled and Kaida was kicking his butt. He was about to lose when smoke started filling the area around the dish. No one could see what was going on down there at all since it covered the people to.

Kaida felt a second blade go into the dish.

"Cheaters! Two blades? But I can't do anything about it, hang in there Phearohnix," Kaida thought.

Kaida couldn't see her blade or anything except herself, but she knew it was too late when she felt her blade take a hit. The smoke began to clear and that second blade she sensed earlier left the dish and heard a person run off.

When the smoke completely cleared, the whole stadium gasped.

Her bey was out of the stadium. While Zeke's was still spinning.

"That can't be…" said Tek in total shock along with her team.

Kaida picked up her blade and walked back to the bench.

"Kaida, aren't you forgetting something?" Zeke asked.

"I remember," she said and walked back to him.

Chris had no idea what was going on, but why did Kaida go to her backpack (that was on the bench) and not take it with her?

Kaida didn't walk with Zeke though when Zeke was getting ready to leave, she gave him a punch directly in the face.

"Cheater! Tell me who helped you!" she demanded holding him by the collar. But before anything else could be done, a few things dropped in. Kaida knew and cried to her team,

"KNOCKOUT GAS!" and her team reacted quickly to avoid being knocked out. But Kaida herself wasn't so lucky. The Blade Casters had gas masks and the stadium was covered in smoke so no one can help.

The BladeBreakers jumped from the audience to try and help but they can't see a thing.

But Ray and Kai found their way to the spot they last saw Kaida and got a glimpse of her being taken away.

"KAIDA!" they both shouted.

When the chaos was over, the Blade Casters and Kaida were gone.

"No clues, they left nothing behind," said Tek who was already looking on the Blade Casters side.

"No, they did," said Chris and went for Kaida's backpack.

"They didn't take Phearohnix," he said holding her blade up.

"Someone better fill us in," said Ray walking up to them along with the other BladeBreakers.

"We know," said Ulrich.

"One advantage: The Blade Casters won that round so they have to come back to fight in the finals," said Tek.

"And nothing will please them more than rub their victory in our faces," said Chris

"Well, after we win our next battle, the day's over so you guys can tell us everything then," Ray suggested.

"No problem," Tek answered. And the BladeBreakers got ready for their battle.

"There's no victory…." Tek started saying.

"When the team's not together…" Ulrich continued.

"Without a leader, how will we hold?" Chris finished.
