Is this counted as a late update? Well…sorry. And review people! I know for a fact that there are those who read this story but don't review. And I thank those that do and I know who they are of course. And if I get more reviews, I'll update faster.
"Kai, stop thinking about that stupid girl. I'm not going to touch her!" said Tala.
Kai grabbed Tala's collar and thrusts him against the wall.
"Just because I joined this team doesn't mean I trust you completely!"
"I was following orders! It's not like I intended to hurt that girl," said Tala.
"I don't care if you were possessed! If I catch you within 10 feet of Kaida, you're going to regret it," Kai threatened and let Tala down.
"That goes for the rest of you!" he said looking at Brian and Spencer.
Okay, everyone is in Tyson's hotel room.
"That's it! I'm going to find out why Kai joined the Blitzkrieg Boys!" said Tyson.
"Yeah, you do that for me," said Kaida.
"But it feels weird, I mean, going against the people we've been friends with for so long," said Ai.
"If you ask me, it should be no problem at all. I'll take Ulrich down no prob!" said Chris sitting in a chair with his arms crossed.
"Yeah!" Tek agreed.
"Oh come on, Chris! Do you have to be so grumpy?" Hilary asked,
"I'm not grumpy!"
"Yeah right, he's usually grumpy when he's hungry or is in this kind of situation," Tek teased pointed at Chris.
"WHAT?" and Chris hits her on the head.
"Owie…"
"I can't stand waiting here! I want action!" Daichi exclaimed.
"Clam down, Daichi," said Kenny.
"Fine, it's almost time for your battle against the White Tiger X anyway," said Tek.
"They have about an hour," said Chris.
"Which is why we should all get going!" said Tyson
"Yeah!" everyone agreed.
They got there and Tyson is getting Dragoon ready.
"I'll going to go see Ulrich," said Kaida.
"Okay, later," they said.
"Lets see, Ulrich I think his team's locker room is this way," said Kaida to herself and headed down the hallway. Well, she ran, then she turned a corner and bumped right into somebody and they both fell to the floor.
"I'm so sorry," said Kaida
"Me too."
"Hey…aren't you on the White Tiger X?" Kaida asked,
"Yeah, I am,"
"I'm Kaida, a friend of Ray's,"
"So you're Kaida. Ray's told the team all about you,"
"He did?" Kaida blushed a little at that.
"Yeah, half Chinese right? I'm Mariah, my Chinese name is Mao (it is)," and she extended her hand. Kaida took it and shook it,
"Mao huh? Fits you perfectly since you look like a cat yourself and the name means cat," said Kaida.
"So, were you going somewhere?" Mariah asked,
"Yeah, but I have plenty of time to get there," said Kaida.
"Good, you don't mind having some girl talk with me do you?" Mariah asked as she continues walking with Kaida following,
"Sure."
The two got soda from a vending machine and sat on a bench to talk.
"There are some things I can't talk about with boys so, I try take as many chances as I can to talk with another girl," said Mariah.
"I know what you mean, there's one girl on my team that's hard to sit down and talk with but the other one is not someone I've known very long," said Kaida with a sweatdrop.
"You know…I envy you," said Mariah looking a bit upset.
Kaida was drinking her soda that time, she stops,
"Why?"
"Ever since Ray got back on the team, the only thing he's been talking about is you. Ray's not much of a talker but whenever he does talk, you come up and he starts talking about you,"
"I can't believe Ray would do that…" Kaida thought feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Well…that's kind of a surprise…" Kaida wasn't sure how to tell Mariah about the situation she's in with her, Ray and Kai.
"(Sigh) I can never get Ray's attention…"
Kaida almost spat out her drink but since she didn't, she started choking.
Mariah helped her.
"Whoa, rewind that, you like Ray?"
"W-What makes you think that?"
"You said you never could get Ray's attention. Now why would you talk about how you envy me just because Ray talks about me and you want attention from Ray. What did you want me to assume?"
"Yeah, I do," said Mariah sadly.
"Hey, it's alright. You don't know what it's like for me, I'm not good in relationships because I never had one and I'm probably going to be getting into one, one way or another…" said Kaida.
"Why, are you in a love triangle or something?" Mariah asked
"What makes you say that?"
"You said 'one way or another' about getting a relationship. So…what did you want me to assume?"
"Hey, you used my line!"
"So?" and the two laughed a bit.
"So who's the second guy?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," said Kaida.
"Try me,"
"I will, but he probably doesn't like me anymore,"
"Why?"
"He left his team and didn't tell me that, Tyson did, and he didn't tell me who was on his new team until I saw it for myself. He hasn't told me anything, we haven't communicated since a couple weeks before the Preliminaries," said Kaida.
"Okay, who is it?" Mariah asked,
"Kai Hiwatari. And before you say anything! I was just as shocked myself!"
"…you snagged Kai Hiwatari?" Mariah asked in surprise.
"Like I said, he probably doesn't even like me anymore…not that I care!" said Kaida.
"Um…judging by your face and the way you're blushing, I'd say you do care," said Mariah and smiled knowing Kaida is just going to reject that.
"I-I do not!"
They talked about other stuff until they realized the time.
"Wow, a half hour passed," said Kaida looking at the clock on the wall.
"Hey Mariah, can you tell Ray to stop talking about me? It's kind of embarrassing…"
"As long as you don't tell him that I like him too,"
"Sure…um, you're not mad at me because I have his attention right?"
"Well…I'm jealous, but not mad. You're really nice, so…I guess, no wonder Ray fell for you," said Mariah turning away.
"If I were in your position, I wouldn't give up hope," said Kaida.
"Don't you like Ray?" asked Mariah turning back around.
"I do, a lot. He's always there when I need him. But, there is always a chance that it wasn't meant to be…" said Kaida.
"You really think so? You sound like you're the one that has given up hope," said Mariah.
"Maybe I have…Well, see you later, Mariah!" she said and somehow 'brightened' up again.
"Yeah, see ya. And thanks Kaida," said Mariah.
"I'm going to be cheering for both teams. So, good luck to your team, Mariah," said Kaida.
"Thanks! And good luck in your battle too, Kaida," said Mariah and they went opposite ways down the hallway.
"Mariah is a pretty nice person," Kaida said to herself and went into deep though and almost missed Ulrich's team's locker room.
She knocked.
A boy opened the door,
"What do you want?'
"Is Ulrich in there?"
"Draco! Who is it?"
"Some girl looking for you," he answered and Ulrich came to the door,
"Oh, hi Kaida,"
"Hi, can you talk?"
"Yeah," and he closed the door leaving him and Kaida outside the door.
"Ulrich, why did you leave the team?"
"Is that really important to know?" Ulrich asked sounding a bit angry,
"You won't believe how important to know this is," said Kaida.
"…fine. I had to get out more. Fight new challenges, become a better blader," Ulrich leaned against the wall and was facing it, feeling the feelings of regret yet fear and proud ness at the same time.
"But we've met new challenges together too!"
"Yeah, I know. I miss being on the Mystic Bladers, but I have a new life as a blader now. And, I always wanted a chance to battle you and the others in an intense beybattle. But as team members, it's not that easy to do that because there was nothing to lose. But now that I'm on a different team, there is. The Dragon Bladers are a good team of bladers. You know why I named my team the Dragon Bladers?" Ulrich asked now looking at her.
"Why?"
"Besides the fact we all have dragon bitbeasts, it's because…we were the Dragon Bladers at one point. Before we became the Mystic Bladers, we were the Dragon Bladers. Remember? I still value my friendship with you, Chris, Ai….and even Tek," said Ulrich and smiled.
"Yeah, thanks for telling me, Ulrich," Kaida smiled too.
"And to be honest, I kind of wanted to get away from Tek…" said Ulrich and the two laughed.
"I completely understand why you left," Kaida added making Ulrich look a bit surprised.
"Thanks for understanding, Kaida. Good luck," he said,
"You too. And how were you able to name your team?" Kaida asked,
"Oh, I forgot to mention that, I named the team because I'm the team leader," said Ulrich surprising Kaida.
"Well, I should've seen that coming,"
"See you at our beybattle," said Ulrich,
"Okay," said Kaida and Ulrich went back in.
"Everyone down, one more explanation to go," said Kaida to herself.
Then she realized it's almost time for Tyson's battle against the White Tiger X.
She ran to get there in time. She got in the seat her team saved for her which is front row and up close.
"I made it!" she said and started panting.
"About time," said Chris.
"Where were you?" Ai asked,
"Somewhere," she answered and leaned forward to see the teams.
"With Love Dove?" Tek asked and Kaida glared at Tek,
"No," she answered and sat down.
Mariah saw her and waved with Lee looking at her with a 'who are you waving to?' look on and turned to see Kaida wave back.
"Who's that girl?" Tek asked pointing at the pink-haired girl,
"Mariah," Kaida answered.
"Hey, who was that girl you were waving at?" Lee asked,
"A new friend, Kaida," Mariah answered.
"Where? Where? Where? Where's the hottie?" asked Kevin looking around.
Lee, Mariah, Gary (he was listening too) got a sweatdrop.
"Hottie or not, she's not going to like a shrimp like you!" said Mariah.
"What? Hey!" Kevin wasn't happy with the compliment.
Ray turned around to see his team talking together. Well, they're all together and sees Mariah and Kevin arguing. He got up and walked up to them,
"Hey, what's going on?" he asked,
"Just an argument," said Lee.
"You guys can stop fighting now," said Gary.
"Hey Ray, tell Mariah she can keep her opinions about my height to herself!" said Kevin.
"I will if you don't go pointing out who's a hottie or not!" said Mariah.
Ray got a sweat drop,
"How did this argument start?" Ray asked,
"After Mariah waved to Kaida and Kevin wanted to see her," said Gary.
"What? Mariah, you know Kaida?" Ray asked.
"Yeah, she's really nice, I met her today," said Mariah.
Ray scanned the audience and sure enough, saw Kaida. But she was watching Tyson's team. Then he saw Tek stand up and starts arguing with Daichi. It was a funny sight to watch since the whole stadium can hear them.
Ray shook his head,
"Same old, same old, Tek."
The battle was going to start and Tyson got mad that Ray wasn't going to battle him so wanted to do a tag team match.
The match started.
"Come on Daichi!" Tek shouted.
"Go get 'em Tyson!" Chris shouted.
"You can do it BBA!" Ai shouted to them too.
"Kaida, why aren't you cheering?" Tek asked,
"I said I would cheer for both teams," said Kaida.
"You're not cheering at all!" said Tek.
"How do I cheer for both without getting Tyson mad at me?" Kaida asked
"She's got a point you know," said Chris and they continued to battle.
The BBA Revolution lost, leaving his team and the Mystical BladeBreakers disappointed.
Kaida couldn't believe Tyson suffered a humiliating defeat; she looked over at Ray's team and saw Ray looking right back at her.
He had a serious face on at first, but it turned into that sweet and kawaii smile and waved at Kaida.
She gave a sweet smile herself and waved back.
Now it was the Mystical BladeBreakers vs. the Dragon Bladers.
"Go ahead Chris," said Kaida.
Chris stood up and walked up to the dish.
"No! I want to battle (raises arm and points at Ulrich) Ulrich!"
"Oh no, I forgot to tell them," thought Kaida as she slapped herself.
"Kick his butt, Chris!" Tek shouted.
"I'll kick your butt if you even think about backseat blading me!" said Chris.
Tek was confused,
"When did I do that?" Tek asked,
"A lot," Ai answered.
"Yeah right, name one time,"
"I don't need to, we all know you've backseat bladed a few times in a few weeks," said Ai.
"…I hate you," said Tek.
Ulrich accepted and the two battled it out.
"These two are not letting their guard down," said Ai.
"But as team members, it's not that easy to do that because there was nothing to lose. But now that I'm on a different team, there is," Ulrich's words rang in Kaida's head.
"Okay, enough playing around. SERPENTIX!!" Chris cried and his bitbeast rose.
"Bring it! COME OUT GEMINAX!!" and Ulrich's two-headed dragon appeared.
"Typhoon Tsunami!" Chris shouted.
"Wait for it Geminax," Ulrich said.
"What is he planning?" Chris thought.
Geminax is now stuck in the Tsunami and typhoon,
"Now! THUNDER BLAST!!"
"What?" Chris didn't see that coming.
"A new attack?" Tek asked,
"Looks like it is," said Kaida.
The electricity spread through the water and shocked Serpentix.
"Finish it!" Ulrich ordered and Serpentix was knocked out of the stadium.
Chris stood there in shock,
"How could I lose?"
"Hey! Snap out of it!"
"Look, Kaida probably didn't tell you my reason for leaving the team yet, but, you fought your hardest and that's what I always wanted. Me, being able to fight my old team in a battle when we gave it our all. Chris, you're still a great blader…and you're still my best friend along with Kaida, Ai…and Tek,"
Chris stayed silent for a moment and gave a small smirk, but he didn't say anything. Chris turned around, picked up his blade and continued walking,
"Ulrich!" he called but did not turn back to look at him,
"That was one of the coolest battles I've had, thanks," and Chris continued down and sat down on the bench.
It was Kaida's turn and is battling the guy named Draco earlier.
It wasn't that hard of a battle actually. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't hard either. Kaida won and is now up against Ulrich.
"I guess we do have something to lose," said Kaida.
"Yeah," the two extended their hands at the same time and shook hands for good luck and sportsmanship.
"Let it Rip!"
It was pretty intense battle. Neither one would give in.
And it went longer than those average lengths for beybattles. The two were exhausted and were panting and sweating.
"I always dreamed of beating you. (Pant) And I'm going to make it come true," said Ulrich,
"Not (pant) without a fight (pant),"
"Geminax! Twin Lightning Flip!!"
"Phearohnix! Dragon Breath of Lava!!"
There was an explosion and smoke everywhere. All the teams were watching.
"That was intense…I wonder who won," said Max.
"Whoa, those two threw everything they had against each other…" said Tyson.
Kai said nothing.
"That girl is pretty good after all," said Tala.
"Kaida…I hope you're okay," said Ray.
The smoke started clearing. Ulrich was standing with his head down; Kaida was on one knee and had one eye open (not winking). Most thought Ulrich won since he's standing, but as the smoke completely cleared, everyone saw that Geminax is out of the dish and Phearohnix is still spinning and just stopped.
"Congratulations, Kaida," said Ulrich and looked up at her, smiling.
Kaida stood up,
"Thanks, that was one of my best battles yet," Ulrich added,
"Thanks, and you're a pretty good team leader you know," said Kaida showing a gentle smile too.
"Thanks…and thanks for being my friend. And for being a good team leader because I wouldn't be this good if it wasn't for you," said Ulrich and they shook hands again.
The crowd roared.
"Good job you two," said Max.
"…." Said Kai.
"Nice job," said Ray.
"Wow…they still are just as tight in their friendship," said Tyson.
"That was awesome!" said Hilary.
"I admit, they are pretty good," said Rick
"Yeah Kaida! Go girl!" cried Mariah.
"Ulrich! Kaida!" Tek was running up to the two and hugged them both really hard.
"That was so awesome!" she said.
"Please let go," Ulrich choked out,
"What he said," said Kaida.
"I'm sorry, but…." Tek stared crying,
"I'm just glad….after all these years….we're still friends," Tek got emotional. Ai stood back knowing these 4 were friends since day one and shouldn't get involved.
Chris's eyes were getting watery but won't let them out.
"Tek, stop it, you're going to make me cry," said Ulrich wiping stuff from his eyes.
"We may be on different team now, but deep inside us, we're still the Mystic Bladers," said Kaida letting some tears flow. Chris did too, and so did Ulrich. It may not be as watery as Tek, but crying is crying.
Kaida was rocking Tek so she won't flood the stadium with even more tears.
"Friends forever," Kaida puts a fist in the middle of them,
"Friends forever," Ulrich added his hand and being calm,
"Friends forever," Chris added his hand with a smirk (he's just being himself).
"Mystic Bladers forever," Tek cried out and added her hand.
Then they did a group hug.
Even though people were watching this, they didn't care about being embarrassed this time.
Actually, they were crying with them, well, not all of them.
"You guys, will always be my best friends," said Ulrich.
"Same way with us," said Tek.
This was their promise to always be friends and there for each other no matter what. They've been together since day 1; Kaida may have been 5 years late, but she was the one that kept them together. Even if they separate in the future, this day is their experience what true friendship is. They fight and have disagreements, but nothing, and I mean nothing can break their bond.
Dedicated to the people that kept me going in life: Katie Morris, Chris Henson, Katie Rodriguez, and Denver Wee.
Please R and R.
