I know there are people out there reading but not reviewing. You can just write the word "update" and I'll be happy. Anyway, here's the next chapter for you all.
No Matter What, Let The Beybattle Begin:
Now, the next battles will take place in Rome and the Spellbound Bladers came with (they aren't in the tournament since they lost in the preliminaries).
BBA Revolution and the Mystical BladeBreakers are in the same room again to see who they're facing.
"Ah! The Blitzkrieg Boys! I wish we were up against anyone BUT the Blitzkrieg Boys!" said Kenny.
"This is perfect! Now I can battle Kai!" said Tyson with confidence.
"Yeah! This battle is in ours!" said Daichi,
"Just don't mess up again!" said Tyson,
"WHAT?" and the two continued arguing.
"No way! We're up against White Tiger X!" Tek almost shrieked.
"Ray…" said Kaida quietly.
"We can take them on!" said Chris.
"Who will battle who?" Ai asked,
"I want to battle Lee! I want to see how tough he really is!" said Chris.
"Well, I haven't battled Ray for a long time," said Kaida.
"I wonder if the All Starz won their battle back in New York," Ai wondered.
"We would have known if THESE guys didn't come bother us and we would've seen Max's battle!" said Tek pointing at the Spellbound Bladers in the corner o the room.
"How long do we have again?" Chris asked,
"And make sure you're accurate this time because you scared us when you said 'tomorrow' when you gave us the news back in New York!" said Tek.
"I'll be positive this time after you let us check a few spells about getting visions!" said Zeke with a vein.
"But you were wrong when you said 'tomorrow' back in New York!" Tek argued back.
"She just said that," said Aqua.
"Hey look, the team Max fought in New York is up against Ulrich's team, the Dragon Bladers," Kaida pointed out.
"The Barthez Battalions!" said Tyson after he stopped arguing with Daichi,
"I'm getting bad vibes from this team," said Hawk,
"I'm only getting bad vibes from their couch," said Ai,
"I don't believe in your mumbo jumbo stuff so just don't talk about it," said Tek.
"I really think there's something wrong with this team," said Blaze,
"Think what you want, I think they're normal despite the ugliness of their couch. I should have my cat give him a workout like I did to Kai. Hee Hee…." Tek got her evil smirk back and everyone got a sweat drop.
The Mystical BladeBreakers were exploring around Rome.
"Let's enjoy what we can before our battle," said Chris.
"Okay, we'll split up and do what we want but we have to be back at the stadium for our battle, understand? And don't cause trouble," said Kaida but specifically looking at Tek.
"No problem!" said Tek and immediately ran off.
"Sure," said Ai,
"No problem whatsoever, because I can't wait for our battle," said Chris and left too.
"I wonder what I should do," said Kaida walking around by herself.
She thought about what Kai said and did back to the cat incident. Then she got depressed.
"…I could…talk to-oomph!" she bumped into somebody since her head was down.
"I'm sorry," she said.
"Me too…hey, aren't you Kaida?" Kaida looked up at him,
"Yeah, you're Ray's friend right?" Kaida asked,
"Yeah, I'm Lee," and the two shook hands,
"Where's your team?" Lee asked,
"Exploring Rome, yours?"
"Lee!" it was Mariah,
"Over there," Lee pointed and the two walked over to them.
"Hi, Kaida," said Mariah,
"Hey,"
"Kaida, this is Gary,"
"Hi,"
"Hello," said Gary and ate an apple he had.
"And this is…where's Kevin?" Mariah was looking around.
"Over there," Gary pointed at Kevin and Ray buying something.
Kaida blushed a little looking at Ray.
"Kevin! Don't you want to meet Kaida?" Mariah called.
"Kaida?" Kevin and Ray asked at the same time and looked at each other and then where their team called.
Kaida did a small wave to Ray.
"Kaida!" Ray and Kevin went over.
"This is Kevin," Mariah introduced.
"Hi," said Kaida.
"Hi…hmm, no wonder Ray talks about you so much," said Kevin and everyone got a sweat drop.
Kaida talked with Mariah when she could. The two sat down waiting for the boys to finish whatever they're doing.
"You really feel that bad, Kaida?" Mariah asked,
"Yeah (sigh),"
"I guess the pressure of choosing is really getting to you huh?" Mariah asked.
"Yeah, everything's been so stressful for me lately. Knowing in the end I have to choose between Ray and Kai and most likely I'll end up hurting on of them. Then there's all those Beybattles I have to do in the tournament, fighting you guys soon, making sure Tek doesn't go around causing trouble, making sure Tek doesn't go try and kill Kai, hearing constant arguing between Tyson and Daichi, recently running into an old rival team, and having to save the world from the mystical animals soon," and Kaida took a big breath form all that. Mariah was silent for a moment,
"What was the last one?" she asked,
"The last one? Saving the world-uh, never mind!" said Kaida.
"…you're not a very good liar," said Mariah,
"I know…." Said Kaida with her head down (anime style).
"I guess it must be hard if you're really afraid of hurting the one you turn down," said Mariah.
"Yeah…Kai might be able to take since he doesn't seem to like my company anymore, but Ray, I don't know, said Kaida,
"Has Tek, Ai, or Hilary ever given you their opinions?" Mariah asked,
"Oh yeah, they have, it got no where," said Kaida.
Flashback:
"Who should Kaida choose…?" Tek thought out loud,
"You know I'm right here right?" Kaida asked,
"Yeah, but I have to think out loud," said Tek.
"I think you would work well with Ray. He's such a sweetheart. I wish I could have him," said Ai going into la la land,
"Sorry sista, he's taken for the moment. And NO WAY! She should be with Love Dove!" said Tek.
"Is it necessary to yell?" Kaida asked with a sweat drop.
"I got it!" Tek ran out their hotel room and came back a few minutes later with Ulrich, Hilary, and Max.
"Why are they here?" Chris asked after waking up from his nap.
"Okay guys, who should Kaida be with. Everyone did an anime fall.
"THAT'S why you dragged me here?" Ulrich asked angrily.
"Um, shouldn't Kaida choose herself?" Max asked with a sweat drop.
"All I need were opinions, I don't need people deciding for me," said Kaida.
"That's what I'm doing, asking opinions," said Tek.
"Who should Kaida be with? Ray of course!" said Hilary.
"WHAT? What's wrong with you people?" Tek exclaimed.
"Well, Ray is an understanding person," said Max.
"And sweetie," Ai added,
"A real gentleman," added Hilary,
"If you want an understanding person, Kaida should be with Kai. Kaida needs somebody that will completely understand the pain she's been through in her childhood. And I don't even know half of them," said Ulrich.
"I think I'll be going," said Kaida.
"No way! You said you wanted opinions, so that's what you're going to get!" said Tek grabbing Kaida and sitting her back down.
"What do you boys think?" Tek asked,
"I don't know why you brought Max here in the first place, guys shouldn't be part of this kind of stuff," said Chris as he pointed next to him to Max since he sat down on the bed next to him.
"Oh come on! We need guy opinions too!" said Tek.
"Well, I don't see why not," said Max with a smile,
"I do…" said Chris.
"I personally think she'll work well with both, but from my poi t of view I'd say Kai since he seemed to have opened up to her more than any other girls," said Max,
"That's true," said Ai,
"Are you counting me?" Tek asked,
"It's not my fault he's so stubborn!" said Hilary.
"I say Ray, Kaida deserves someone like Ray," said Chris.
"We're going no where," thought Kaida with a sweat drop.
"Ah man! I should've brought one more person in! How about Tyson?" Tek asked,
"NO!" everyone shouted.
Present:
"Yup, we definitely got no where, that's the last time I'm asking for opinions from Tek," said Kaida.
"Well, it's not my choice. If you want me to honest I can," said Mariah,
"Please do so," said Kaida.
Ray was trying to find Mariah and Kaida because he wanted to talk to Kaida and Lee wanted to see Mariah for a moment. Then he heard them talking and was about to get them when he heard them talking about him.
"Well, you shouldn't go for what I'm choosing. But I want you to pick Kai because…you know. But if I didn't have a crush on Ray, well, I really don't know. They both sound right for you, in there own way at least. I hope I'm not sounding selfish, I just, you know," said Mariah.
"It's okay, I understand. I deal with this stuff from Tek all the time," said Kaida.
"But, if you really want to choose, you have to know what you feel about them, but hey, I'm no expert or anything," said Mariah.
"Yeah, I'll figure it out. I just need to spend just a little more time with the both of them…and I might know. Hey, don't we have a beybattle to get to?" Kaida asked,
"You sure do, we better head back to the stadium," said Ray,
"Okay!" said Mariah,
"Don't sneak up on us like that," said Kaida,
"I didn't even scare you," said Ray,
"I know, I'm just saying," said Kaida,
"Whatever you say, Kaida," said Ray and they headed back to the stadium for their battle against each other.
Back at the stadium, the battle begins.
"Do you think Chris can beat Lee?" Ai asked,
"Depends on how much Chris's ego has got to him," said Kaida.
"Of course he can beat him! Go Chris!" Tek shouted.
"No prob!" he said and got his launcher ready.
"You can do it, Lee!" Mariah cheered,
"Yeah! Show him what you're made of!" said Kevin.
"I would be careful, Chris is pretty good," said Ray.
"Let's go Galion!"
"Go Serpentix!"
They fought hard but they used their bit beasts as their final attack but both blades out of the stadium.
"Good try, Lee, I'll take itfrom here," said Ray walking up to the dish.
"Chris you idiot!"
"What? At least I didn't lose!" said Chris trying to avoid Tek's temper.
"Go for it, Kaida," said Ai.
"Yeah," she said and walked up to the dish to face Ray.
"You ready, Kaida? I won't be holding back you know," said Ray,
"I'm always ready and I don't intend on holding back," said Kaida as the two got their launchers ready.
"3…2…1…Let it Rip!"
"Let's dance! Go Driger!"
"We'll see who's got better footwork after this battle, let's go, Phearohnix!"
Phearohnix went on the offensive and Driger easily dodged,
"If you want to attack me, you're going have to catch me first!" Ray teased
"Lucky," said Kaida,
"Not really, his Driger is probably the fastest blade I've faced. And catching this wild cat isn't easy," thought Kaida.
"Phearohnix, lets get it!" and her blade sped up as it started chasing Driger around the dish.
"Sorry, I'm not letting youget me that easily. Now! Gatling Claw!"
And Driger strikes like a pouncing tiger.
"Look at it go!" said Chris from the bench,
"How is Kaida suppose to attack a blade that moves too fast to even see?" asked Ai worriedly,
"Grr…come on Kaida! Think of something!" Tek shouted.
"It's moving way too fast for me to attack it unless I know where it'll be the next second. I better think of something now, Phearohnix can't take much more of this constant attack," Kaida thought.
Ray watched her in deep thought,
"…Kaida,"
She looked at him and Ray slowed Driger down and stopped attacking.
"I know it's been hard for you. To go through day after day, afraid of the outcome between you, me, and Kai. I just want to let you know that no matter who you choose, I'll always be there for you. If you choose me, I'll feel great! And if you choose Kai, you're still my friend no matter what. Sure I might be hurt for a short time, but as a friend my first priorities are the happiness of my friends. This beybattle is the same thing. Whether you win or lose against your friends throughout the tournament, you'll always remain friends. And you know that after your battle with Ulrich. So just like now…I win, I'll feel great. If you win, you're still my friends and I'll be happy for you. Just like in a relationship, I might feel upset for a while, but if you're happy, I'll get over it eventually if it really wasn't meant to be. So, forget all that now…and concentrate on this battle! Because I'm not going to lose to you!" said Ray getting into a fighting stance.
Kaida felt…better.
"Ray…okay! If it's an extreme battle you want then you'll get one!" said Kaida and got into a fighting stance too.
"Driger! Attack!" Ray shouted as he did jump kick.
"Phearohnix! Attack!" as she did a combo punch.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Using martial arts to get a battle started is not a bad idea," said Chris.
"Awesome!" Tek cried.
"This battle will be an intense one," said Ai.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ray! Kaida! I'm cheering for both of you!" Max shouted from the audience.
"These two aren't worth my time," said Rick.
"You know, I bet if you actually fought one of them, you'll find them a challenge," said Max,
"Yeah, sure," said Rick not really caring.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Go Kaida!" Ulrich cheered.
"Show them what you got!" Tyson also shouted from the T.V. in the locker room.
Kai was watching too, but couldn't hear what they were talking about.
"Lets make this quick, I have to make a decision soon you know and I have a lot of thinking to do," said Kaida,
"If you wish, after all, I can't keep a lady waiting," said Ray.
See, err, visualize their battle next- Ray vs. Kaida: Battle of…?
