Disclaimer: I don't own the Bladebreakers (including Hilary, Tala, and Mr. Dickenson); I do own the DestinyBladers and the other teams: Dark Raiders, Silver Arrows, Rapid Champs, Alley Catz, Sacred Crests, and the Eastside Girls.
Note: I didn't describe their clothes and other features because I want to do that when the Bladebreakers meet the DestinyBladers in person.
It Might Be You

"Settle down, kids, settle down!" Mr. Dickenson smiled. "We still have one more tape to go! I haven't seen this one yet, so I'm very excited!"
He put in the tape and Tyson, Rei, Max, Tala, Kenny, Kai, Hilary, and Mr. Dickenson watched anxiously, as the tape began to play…
Chapter 3
The door slid open revealing a dark figure of a girl. Her cold blue-gray eyes seemed to pierce through the almost pitch black darkness. She scanned the room and, for a split second, stared straight at the hidden camera man and video camera, before continuing and stopped at five figures lying on the ground.
Suddenly, the lights turned on, the blue eyed girl's left hand over a switch on the wall. In her right hand she held a small bucket. Four figures on the ground stirred and one continued sleeping soundly.
"I'm up, I'm up…" A girl with violet hair sat up and stretched her pale arms. Madison scowled at the girl at the doorway.
"So…early…" a girl with light brown hair mumbled. The girl at the door raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything. A girl with auburn hair groaned and covered her head with her pillow. All the kids were sleeping on mats on the ground, except for one empty mat, for the girl in the doorway.
Krystal stared at the black haired girl in the corner of the room. Stephanie gave her captain a sheepish smile before stuffing the candy bar in her mouth.
Krystal rolled her eyes and turned to the last figure. She walked towards him with the small bucket and stopped next to him. She set the bucket down and paused for a second. Stephanie rushed forward.
"Can I try, Krys? Please, please, please! With a cherry on top?" Stephanie begged. Jade chuckled.
"We're in no hurry today, so let her have a shot," Jade reasoned. Madison smirked and looked at her best friend, who seemed slightly tense today.
"Me too! Lemme try wake Drew up." Madison added. Rachel turned on her laptop and turned towards their captain.
"Whatever." Krystal replied. She grabbed the bucket and set it down at the door before walking out.
"YES!" Stephanie grinned triumphantly and ran out of the room. "You can go first Madi!"
Madison smirked impishly and dug through a light gray backpack. Jade looked at the scheming girl warily. Rachel, on the other hand, didn't seem to care and was typing away on her laptop.
"Madi…" Jade warned. Rachel turned around for a second to look at her teammate.
"What's Madison doing?" a voice from the computer asked.
------
"Wait! Pause the tape!" Kenny cried out. The boys and Hilary groaned. Mr. Dickenson chuckled and paused the video.
"Now what?!" Tyson scowled.
"Nothing," Kenny grinned sheepishly. "I just wanted so say that it's scary that our teams are so much alike! Them trying to wake up Andrew is like us trying to wake up Tyson! Then that girl has a bit beast stuck in her laptop! Just like me!"
"I'll have to agree with you on that one, Chief," Ray nodded. We might not get along if we're too similar. But, I shouldn't judge them yet since we didn't meet in person.
"Are you done?" Max said impatiently. Kenny nodded and looked at Mr. Dickenson.
"Yeah, you can play the tape again."
------
"She's trying to wake Andy up," Rachel said, as if it were the most obvious thing ever. "Duh, Izzy. You know Andy… he can sleep through anything!"
Izzy chuckled. Madison shot them a look.
"I'll wake him up," she said deviously. Her hand tightened on the small object from the bag. She straddled the boy's waist and leaned forward. She set her left elbow on the mattress above his right shoulder. She smirked and ran her hand underneath the sleeping boy's shirt, across his well built chest.
"Ooo… I guess Krystal's training does pay off. Jade, look! Drew has nice abs!"
"What the hell are you doing, Madi?" Jade asked in a warning tone. Madison ignored her and pulled her hand out from the shirt. She carefully held the small object above Andrew's face.
"Just playin'." Madison said grinning. "You know he's like a brother to me, Jade. Now be quiet and let me finish."
Jade couldn't help but grin. Tweezers.
Madison aimed the small silver tweezers above Andrew's eyebrow and swiftly plucked one of his hairs out. The dirty blond flinched, but remained asleep. Madison tried again, but gave up after the second try.
"Stupid boy…" she mumbled. "Okay Steph! Your turn!"
Stephanie ran into the room with a flute. Jade and Madison looked at each other and Rachel was busy talking to Izzy.
"Um… Steph? You don't play the flute," Madison said in a nervous tone. Stephanie grinned.
"I know!"
Jade stepped back and shoved her fingers in her ears. Rachel turned around. Her eyes widened and she jammed her ears shut. Krystal walked in, but quickly turned and walked out after seeing Steph. Madison quickly ran into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.
Stephanie took a deep breath in.
SQQQQQQEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!
"What was that?!" Izzy yelled. The tree girls looked at Andrew. He was fast asleep.
"Huh? But how?!" Steph groaned. She should have known the only person who could wake Andrew up was Krystal.
"Krystal! It's your turn!" Steph called. Izzy chuckled. "Andrew sure is a heavy sleeper…"
Krystal walked into the room, picking up her bucket on the way to the sleeping boy. She brought out a block of ice and a small pump (to pump up basketballs or soccer balls). She hit the block of ice with her bare fist cracking it in two and placed on half on Andrew's forehead. She placed to other half under his shirt on his stomach.
"Idiot." She muttered.
"Did you finish brushing your teeth and getting ready?" Jade asked. Krystal nodded in reply and stuck the pump opening in near Andrew's right ear. She started to pump air into the boy's ear making him squirm. Then she tossed the pump aside and waited for the ice to kick in.
Madison walked out of the bathroom and shot a look at her best friend. "Your turn Jade or Steph."
"Three… two… one…" Krystal counted softly under her breath. Madison grinned.
"WHAT THE FUCK!?!?" Andrew bolted up and grabbed the ice from under his shirt. Krystal smirked and headed out of the door, grabbing her bucket on the way.
"I'LL KILL YOU, KRYS!" Andrew yelled. Jade hurried into the bathroom and burst out laughing. Izzy chuckled, "Krystal strikes again!"
Madison grinned.
"Aww… Poor Drew!" she cooed. She patted his cheek and he swatted her hand away. Andrew scowled.
"Stop that. And don't call me Drew!"
"Whatever. Just hurry up before Krys gets mad," she started walking out of the door. "I don't wanna run extra today…"
20 minutes later….
Andrew ran out with Stephanie following him. Both stopped in front of a tree. The location was a small park with a river going through and a large bridge going across the clear river.
"You're late." Krystal said smirking. "And you know what that means…"
Madison and Jade groaned. Steph sat down out of breath and Rachel chuckled from the park bench she was currently sitting on. Madison scowled.
"What the hell were you two doing? Making out with each other? Dammit now we have to run extra!"
"And we have a concert tonight. We're going to be too tired to play, thanks to the two of you!" Rachel added.
Andrew grunted. "Shut up."
Jade looked at Stephanie, who was slightly flushed from running to the park. She sighed and shook her head in disbelief.
"Yuck. Me and Andy?" Stephanie scrunched up her nose. "It's Andy's fault we're late. And why are you complaining? You never run anyways! Besides, he hid my box of candy!"
"Well, that's because you took so long to brush your damn teeth!"
Krystal rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, leaning against the tree. Madison groaned. Jade buried her face in her hands in frustration. Andrew and Stephanie kept on arguing.
"Less talking, more running," Krystal said coldly after a couple of minutes. "Four laps."
"But that's almost eight miles!" Stephanie protested. Krystal raised an eyebrow.
"Next time, don't be late."
Madison and Jade looked at each other and groaned. "Just do it before she makes us run more!" Jade warned.
The four ran off. After they were out of earshot, Rachel burst out laughing. Krystal turned.
"HAHAHAHAHA, good one Krys! Four laps! Hahaha!"
"I'm not joking."
Rachel stopped. "WHAT?! But that's so much!"
Krystal ignored her.
------
"Stop the tape!" Everyone groaned. Even Mr. Dickenson.
"Now what!? This had better be good Kenny!" Tyson warned. All seven eyes glared at him. Kenny grinned sheepishly.
"Well, since we're going to join teams, how will we decide the name and the captain?"
"What? Can't we discuss that after the video? It was just getting good!" Max groaned. Tala scowled. Yeah. I wonder why I feel like I know Andrew and Krystal.
Kai frowned slightly. Kenny had a good point. There was no way he was going to give up his position as captain to a girl.
"I will explain how that works after you meet them," Mr. Dickenson explained. "Anything else, Kenny?"
"Uh, do we have to train with them?"
"Oh no! I'm not going to run eight miles for being a little late! No way! That's crazy!" Tyson declared. Max, Rei and Tala nodded in agreement. That girl was tough. Hilary grinned.
"They're way cool!" Hilary said happily. "I can't wait to meet them! Besides, it's funny to see you boys are afraid of a little running."
"A LITTLE? Are you insane? Eight miles isn't a little to me!" Max exclaimed.
Mr. Dickenson nodded. "I've always wondered how they trained… No wonder Krystal is the most wanted blader in the United States! If she traveled more, she would be a lot more famous…"
"What?!" Tyson said surprised.
"Every team would pay her a large amount of money if she joined their team. Yet, she joined the BBA and turned down the money offer… She's said to be one of the best bladers ever! She's not as well known as she should be because she and her team has to attend school, so she only blades during the summer and even during the summer, she attends summer school. Same goes for the rest of the team. You know… Kai, Tyson, Krystal, and Andrew are the toughest bladers I've ever seen!"
"That's good." Everyone turned towards Kai. "We have strong bladers."
Rei smiled and nodded in agreement. "Maybe our new captain can teach us a thing or two."
"Can we please watch the tape!" Max pleaded. I think I've heard of her before… That's right! Mom wanted her to join a while ago, but she refused! Wow… I can't wait to tell mom that she's going to be our teammate…
Mr. Dickenson chuckled. "Right! Let's finish the rest."
------
Inside another room…
"They aren't done with the videos yet?" the raven haired whispered.
"Why are you whispering, it's not like they can hear us," a boy with dirty blond haired replied.
"Yeah, but now we can't hear them!" a purple haired girl hissed.
"She's right, you two. Shut up," a brunette agreed.
A girl with auburn hair smiled. "Hilary thinks we're cool! Yay! I can't wait to be her friend! She seems so nice! Plus, this sure beats going to summer school!"
"SHUT UP!" the purple haired girl and the light brown haired girl said at the same time.
"How much longer is the damn video!" the boy cried out. "I'm bored!"
"Pipe down!" the purple head glared.
The five teen's pressed their ears against the door. The last teen didn't say a word.
"Hey! They're talking about us, Krys!" The boy stated.
"So?"
"So?! They said we're the strongest! Told you so Rae!"
"Shut up. They also mentioned Tyson and Kai, so shut up Andy." The auburn girl frowned.
"Ooo! Rei wants to learn a thing or two from you, Krys!" Madison grinned. A bunch of super hot boys are in the next room! And they were going to be on the same team!
"Too bad for him!" Stephanie teased. Krystal isn't interested in having a boyfriend… probably because her big brother is super protective of her!
"Whatever." Krystal scowled. They may be her best friends, but they could get super annoying at times.
"Ooo! And Kai approves of you!" Madison smirked. They would be a good match… Krystal was actually a really kind and caring person under her cold demeanor. She might be able to melt the Ice King's heart…
"Hooray." Krystal said sarcastically.
Madison rolled her eyes. Then again, maybe not.
"Shut up!" Steph hissed. "I can't hear!"
------
"Jade and Madison weren't late!"
Krystal looked at her. "We're a team. If one is late then everyone else is."
"What about you!? Aren't you going to run?"
"I already did."
"What?!" Rachel gawked. "When?!"
"This morning. Now shut up."
"Why are you acting so… cold… today!" Krystal ignored her. She bent down and picked up a rock. She tossed the smooth, round rock up and down in her right hand. Rachel looked frightened.
"W-What are you doing?"
"Nothing, be quiet already… I'll talk with you tonight,"
The captain stood silently and Rachel turned back to Izzy. After two laps around the park, Krystal stopped them. Andrew and Stephanie collapsed on the grass, completely out of breath. Jade was chuckling with her hands on her knees, clearly out of breath as well. Madison looked slightly tired and had her hands on the top of her head. Krystal just stood with her arms crossed.
"So we don't have to run the extra four miles?" Stephanie asked. Krystal raised her eyebrow.
"No, you'll run two more laps at the end of practice."
Stephanie groaned.
"Five sets of twenty push ups. Then five sets of twenty crunches."
The whole team groaned and sat on the ground. Rachel looked at Krystal, who shot her a look.
"What are you waiting for, Rachel? You have to do them too."
"What!? But why!?" Rachel's eyes widened. Izzy chuckled.
"You're part of the team, Rae, so it's only fair that you train too!"
"Hurry up. You're lucky I didn't make you run laps around the park with them."
The five teens grumbled. Krystal rolled her eyes.
"This is nothing new. So stop complaining."
Krystal sat on the bench listening to Izzy talk about the team's stats, while the rest of the team did push ups and crunches. After they were done, the team sat on the ground. Krystal brought Izzy with her and joined them.
"Stand up."
"Whaaat?" Andrew moaned.
Krystal glared. The whole team stood up and Madison grinned.
"Not too bad!" The rest of the team stared at Madison as if she had grown another head. "What?"
Jade shook her head. "Nothing…"
"Hey, Krys!" Rachel placed her computer on her lap and waited for the captain to answer.
"Hn."
"Where's the concert at again?"
Stephanie groaned. "I thought you were supposed to be smart! They moved it to California, because of some festival happening here, so we have to take the plane to get there tonight."
"Just because I'm the one with the laptop doesn't mean I'm smart!"
"Cool it," Jade said, stretching her arms. Rachel scowled but nodded.
"Yeah, okay…" The auburn haired girl said sullenly. Rachel brightened up a second later. "There's a tournament in Chicago –"
"I know." Krystal replied.
"So are we going to register?"
"We already are registered." Madison answered smugly. "I've taken care of everything."
"But how?" Jade asked, slightly puzzled.
"Krys and I have connections." Madison smirked. Krystal didn't say anything. Andrew shot Krystal a look.
"We get three rooms in the hotel I booked, which is super nice, and we need to pair up." Madison leaned against Andrew's chest and wrapped her arms around his waist. She gave him a seductive smile. "I call Drew!"
Andrew scowled, slightly blushing. "Stop that. And quit calling me that! I'm partnering up with Krys!"
Krys shrugged and Madison pouted, obviously teasing the annoyed boy. "Fine… be that way. I get to be Jade's roommate!"
"That means I'm with Rachel. You know he hates it when you tease him, Madi," Steph said grinning. "I guess that's settled then!"
"Is Veronica and her gang registering too?" Jade asked. "If they are, we have to be prepared."
"What are you talking about?" Madison narrowed her eyes. "They're weak. And I suppose they are registering… that's good, because I wasn't satisfied with the last match."
"What about Troy?" Andrew asked Madison. "He's gonna be there too, right?"
"Probably…" Madison looked at the ground. "We have to watch our backs around him."
"Let's just concentrate on the band concert tonight," Jade smiled. "It's gonna be awesome!"
"Yeah! Too bad it's not going to be as fun as it was in New York," Stephanie chuckled.
"Hold on. One, we're not done with practice. Two," Krystal paused and stared straight at the hidden camera man in the tree. "Someone's spying on us when they shouldn't be."
Madison smirked. "Just like the good ol' days…"
Krystal tossed the rock, she picked up earlier, up and down once more before swiftly throwing it at a nearby tree.
------
The screen of the camera cracked, and then went blank.
"What?" Mr. Dickenson was bewildered. "B-But, how did she—"
The Bladebreakers gaped. Kai smirked. That girl knew ever since she walked into the door that morning. Impressive.
"Wow." Max said. "How did she know?"
Mr. Dickenson shook his head and regained his composure. He sighed. "I sent my top spy to tape their training session. But even my best spy was detected by Miss Kamiya! Simply amazing…"
"So! When do we get to meet them?" Hilary said excitedly. A noise from the nearby door made their heads turn.
"Oof! That hurts you moron!"
"Ow! Watch it, stupid-head!"
"I think that's our cue!"
The door burst open revealing a bunch of teens. The Bladebreakers looked at Mr. Dickenson in surprise. Hilary grinned and hugged Tyson. Max chuckled at Tyson's visibly red face. Tala's eyes widened. I remember now… Rei smiled warmly while Kai stayed the same, unfazed. Mr. Dickenson grinned.
"Bladebreakers, meet the DestinyBladers. DestinyBladers, meet the Bladebreakers!"

The next chapter will have more information on how each character looks. I'm pretty sure about how I'm going to pair them up, but if you have any suggestions please tell me. More secrets about their past will be in the next chapter too.
If you have any suggestions or questions/ comments send it in a review, because I always read them (more often than my email). Sorry if it's kind of confusing right now.
