An Unexpected Love
Ch. 22
The Tournament (FINALLY!)
Kai's POV (in his room, lying on his bed)
The Russian Bladerz stayed in the practice room of the dojo. (A/N: what's it called?)
But Raisa stayed with Angel and Danny moved out and stayed with Ray.
Everything's hopefully getting better… Tala and his team are here, that should count for something.
Tala and Raisa are both willing to help Spencer and Brian will help on the outside.
I'll tell them my plan in the morning.
Right now I need to sleep and rest up for the tournament in three days.
We are ready.
Tyson, Ray, Max, Angel, and I, we're ready for this tournament and we are going to win no matter what!
Even though I'll never admit it openly I still care.
I sighed a long sigh.
Boris, my grandfather and all the others will pay for all the pain they've caused.
I swear I will, we will.
With that I dozed off to a light sleep.
(The next day)
I woke up early as usual and went to wake the others up.
Ray and Danny were up talking, Tyson was asleep as always but I managed to get him up as well as Max who was in the next room.
They went into the kitchen as I went to wake Angel and Raisa up.
Raisa was up just lying on the bed looking at the ceiling while Angel slept.
She saw me and shooed me out.
Same old Raisa… her and her privacy.
Then after they were all awake and in the kitchen I went to where Tala and the rest of his team were. They were all awake, that's a surprise.
"Come on let's go to the kitchen" I said to them. They got up and followed me.
(Later in the kitchen)
"So what's our plan?" Ray asked.
"Well we were thinking last night…" Tala began.
"Yeah?" Tyson butted in.
"We were thinking that we should just go through this tournament like nothing was wrong" he said.
"What! But something is WRONG!" Tyson argued.
"I know but this way you'll confuse them and make them think you're starting to look at things their way" he countered.
"I see what you're saying, kinda" Angel voiced, "you're saying that we should kinda pretend like we're giving in then they might give them back, right?"
"Yeah, something like that" Tala said.
'I already have something in mind' I thought, 'and I'll possibly have to do it in secret'
After our talk I took them all outside for some training. We trained intensely for hours the remaining days until the tournament.
(Fast forward to the day before the tournament, two days later. Mid afternoon)
Angel's POV
We talked a lot about the tournament tomorrow, this one will determine who will battle in the world championships this year, it's all complicated but it's working some how.
Raisa and I got to talk and catch up a lot. I think we are really ready for this now. We will kick but at this tournament.
It's already 6:48… Tyson is outside; he hasn't been himself with out Hilary around. Ray well, he's been taking all this pretty hard and is happy Mariah wasn't here because she would have been kidnapped along with Hilary and Kenny. Kai, he's been more distant than usual, something's going on and I'm gonna find out what is it sooner or later. Max, he's always trying to help me cheer the others up but it helps only a little. As for the others they are all quiet but they are helping in anyway they can and that's great.
"I'm going to bed you guys" I told them and retreated to my room. 'I'll search for Kai later', I thought. I shut the door when I stepped in and flopped onto my bed.
'Is something wrong' a voice called in my head. I knew it was Elzer in a heartbeat.
'No not really… I'm just wondering what was up with Kai. He's been really distant lately, more than usual' I said, I my head.
'Do you have a plan for the tournament?' Elzer asked.
'Yes and no'
'You do realize that this tournament is really important…' he began.
'I know, I know… it's just that well…' I was interrupted by a quiet knock at the door.
'I'll talk to you later Elzer' I thought as I got up to open the door.
'Until then' I heard his voice echo in my head.
I opened the door. Raisa stood there.
"Hey" she said smiling.
"Hey" I said smiling a small smile in return.
"Are you ok?" she asked concerned.
"I'm fine" I said.
"Tomorrow's the big day" she said kind of sadly.
"Yeah I know"
"You ready to kick some butt?" she asked happily.
"Oh yeah" I said happier.
"You know I really missed your optimism" she told me.
"I know, and I missed your outgoingness" is said laughing a little.
"Yeah, I'll help you all the way you know that right?"
"Yes I do, we'll all do this together" I told her.
She nodded.
"We all have old scores to settle" she said with a light darkness in her eyes.
"Hey, you never really told me, about how you know Kai" I reminded her.
"It was a long time ago, in the abbey, we stuck together. Tala, Kai and I. We were the best of friends and they helped me escape I said I would come back to them someday and get revenge for them somehow but I got stuck in that crappy orphanage!" she said annoyed.
"Oh" I said, "Well, you wanna help round all the others up for an early sleep. We'll need all the rest we can get" I proposed.
"Sure, there's nothing better to do" she said with a slight laugh.
I got up and we went to where all the boys were. The majority were in the living/common room. Kai and Max were the only one's who weren't.
"Hey! You guys come on let's all go to bed now" Raisa announced.
"We'll need all the rest we can get for tomorrow" I reminded them all.
I walked over to Tyson; he was moping around on the couch. I sat next to him.
"Hey" I said.
"Hey" he said without much enthusiasm.
"I know you feel horrible but you'll get to see her tomorrow, we'll get them back you know we will!" I assured him.
"I know" he said.
"Ok" I said giving him a small hug.
I got back up and headed outside to where I believed Kai was.
I looked around I saw Raisa talking with Max. He looked kind of sad too, I wonder why… Raisa will cheer him up, hopefully.
I climbed the wall to get to the roof; I know Kai likes to go up there.
'Just as I though… he's up here' I thought.
I just sat next to him looking at the sky.
"What are you thinking about?" I asked.
"The tournament" he said, short answer.
"Did you know that we are going to win?" I asked.
He smiled, God I love it when he smiles! I couldn't help but smile back.
"I hope so. We'll need to give it our all" he told me.
"Yeah, the others are up for it, and so am I" I told him, "One question though"
"Huh?"
"Who and who's gonna be in the tournament" I asked.
"So far groups that we know are the white tigers and the Russian Bladerz of course. Then there are the Majestics, Saint Shields, Psykicks, and a new group called the Elemental Warrior, oh and we can't forget the Blade Slayers. We get to go up against them only because we are the World Champs" he informed me.
"Oh, ok"
"Hey, um, do you know what's wrong with Maxie?"
"Maxie?"
"Yeah, that's what I call him. What do you want one too?" I asked jokingly.
"Uh no thanks, and no I don't know what's wrong with him, I don't really like to get into others business" he said.
"Ok just wondering…um, about the, uh, situation, we're in. um, what exactly are we going to do, I mean will they really return Hilary and Kenny?" I asked worriedly.
He sighed deeply, "That's the problem, I don't think they will, they'll probably keep them until we do join" he explained.
"Oh"
"Come on, we should get some sleep" he suggested and stood up.
I did the same and stood up and then we climbed down, to tiered to jump.
(Next day)
(Ok I'm just going to tell you now, this tournament is the finals, the BladeBreakers got to be in it in the finals only because they are the world champions, ok?)
Normal POV
The gang was all awake and outside ready to go to the stadium. A bus was supposed to come pick them up at 10 in the morning the tournament started at noon but they had to get there earlier.
Once the bus arrived they all piled in.
Kai Angel, Tala and Raisa sat in the very back. In front of Tala and Raisa was Alec, in front of him was Brian and Spencer and in front of them was Tyson. 2 seats in front of Kai and Angel sat Max and farther up was Ray.
When they got to the stadium they were left at the front where they were mobbed by the media.
All sorts of questions were asked.
Tyson was trying to act like his usual self, it was quite believable.
Tala, Kai, Brian and Spencer walked in ignoring everyone and walking n casually.
Angel was walking along a huge smile on her face looking at all the people at the stadium; she hadn't seen so many people in one place for a while.
Raisa walked along looking at every camera she saw she didn't smile much but it added to her image. Raisa loved the attention even though she didn't show it, you could see it in her eyes; she loved it.
Max was hyper, turns out that on the bus he had eaten a chocolate bar. He was waving and getting a lot of attention, he was acting like Tyson for a bit.
Ray was calm he smiled and acknowledged them all.
Inside it was roaring with cheering fans, they went in to the locker room where all the other teams were gong to be. The Russian Bladerz went to another part of the room.
"RAY!" they all heard someone yell as a pink blur knocked Ray to the ground.
"Heheh, hey Mariah" Ray said muffled by Mariah's hug.
Once she let go of him she blushed a little.
"Heh, sorry!" she said sheepishly.
"Jeez, no hug for me?" Angel asked.
"Oh, of course!" she said hugging Angel too.
Then she hugged all the other guys, even Kai, who didn't hug her back.
"Mariah who'd you find?" a short kid with green hair said from behind her.
"Oh, hey Kevin, it's the Bladebreakers" she said.
"Who's she?" he asked pointing at Angel.
"Oops, I forgot to introduce you" she said, "Kevin go get the rest of the team so you can meet her"
He ran off to get the rest of their team.
"That was Kevin, he's part of the white tiger x" she told her.
"Oh, ok" Angel responded.
"Hey guys!" they heard another voice call.
"Lee!" Ray said, "How've you been?"
"Good, pretty good" he responded shaking hands with Ray.
"Oh, by the way guys this is Angel and Danny, her brother. Angel, Danny this is Gary" she said pointing to the big guy with them (same clothes and season 3).
"Hello" he responded in a slow deep voice.
"Hello" Danny said.
"Hey, Gary" Angel responded trying the whole kissing and greeting thing. Kai, in the background, had a scowl on his face.
He looked confused.
"Tradition" Mariah explained.
"Oh" he replied nodding knowingly
"This is Kevin, I already told you that" Mariah said.
"Hi" Angel said shaking hands with him.
"Hey" he responded.
She did the whole kiss thing with ease since he was short.
"Hey" Danny greeted.
"Lee" Mariah continued.
"Hi" she said again continuing the process.
"Hello" Lee said in response.
"Hi" Danny said once again.
"Oh and this is our new member Ginger!" Mariah exclaimed.
"Hello" she said she was the same height as Mariah. She wore red capris with orange lining and a Chinese style shirt also with orange lining. She had an orange sash around her waist, much like Ray's red sash, and Chinese style red shoes.
Her hair was light orange hair with red strands loose on her face that is braided and reached to mid thigh. She had golden neko-jinn eyes too.
"Hi!" Angel said greeting her.
"Hey" Danny greeted.
"Hello, the names Max" Max introduced himself.
"Hey! I'm Tyson" he introduced.
"Hi Max, Tyson" she said.
"I'm Ray" Ray said introducing himself as well.
"Oh, so you're Ray, Mariah has told me a lot about you" she said smiling.
"Oh really?" he asked looking at Mariah.
"Nothing bad I assure you" Mariah added.
"I hope not" Ray went along with it.
"Anyway, this is Kai" Mariah introduced.
"Um, where?" Ginger asked.
"Hold on I'll get him" Angel volunteered.
She looked for him and finally found him he wasn't to far from the group.
"Jeez, why do you always hide?" Angel asked him.
"I don't" he simply said.
"Whatever, come on, you'll get to meet the new member for white tiger x"
He didn't respond to her just followed her to where the rest were.
"Ok, this is Kai" Angel introduced.
"Oh, hello"
"Hn" Kai grunted.
"Don't worry, he's always like that" Tyson told Ginger.
"Hey, you guys! I see my mom! I'll see you guys later!" Max said running off towards the All Starz.
"Let's go say hi to everyone" Angel suggested to Kai.
He shrugged.
"Fine! Don't say anything, let's go!" she said parting from the rest.
"So you'll have to introduce me to everyone because I don't know them" Angel said cheerfully.
He sighed, "Fine"
Angel and Kai went off on their own, and Danny went with the others to meet the other teams.
They met the Majestics when Enrique came up to Angel.
"Hello mademoiselle" he said kissing her hand.
"Um, hi?" Angel responded.
"Leave her alone Enrique" Kai said.
"Huh?" Enrique asked dumbly.
"I said leave her alone" Kai said through warningly.
"Hehehe, sorry, didn't realize she was taken" he said sheepishly.
Angel blushed a little.
"Oh hey Kai, I didn't realize it was you" he said, "who would've though…" he mumbled.
"Enrique! What are you doing?" asked another voice from somewhere behind them.
"Oh hey Johnny, Elycia" he greeted, "I was just talking with Kai and…"
"Angel, the name's Angel" Angel told him.
"And Angel"
"Who's Angel" Johnny said coming up to them.
"A new… friend" he replied.
"Kai" Johnny acknowledged.
"Johnny" Kai responded.
"Oh this is Elycia" Johnny introduced a girl the girl whose waist he was holding.
Kai raised an eyebrow.
She had light green hair, neck length, with light pink bangs that were longer than her actual hair. She had dark emerald eyes.
She wore a denim beret type of hat, like Oliver's only a little different. She also wore white leather pants that flared slightly at the bottom and a denim halter top.
"Hello" she greeted.
"Hi, I'm Angel" she greeted the other girl like she would any other.
"Hn" responded Kai.
"Same old Kai" Johnny said.
"Hn" he responded again.
"Whatever" Johnny said, "Robert, Oliver over here!" he called.
"By the way, I'm Johnny, as you can see"
"Hi" Angel greeted like she did usually, with the kiss and all.
"Don't worry Elycia, its only tradition" Angel explained laughing slightly.
Elycia nodded.
"How come I don't get a kiss?" Enrique pouted.
"Oh, but you did… you kissed my hand" Angel said.
Enrique pouted more.
"Hello, Kai and…" a guy with purple hair came up with a boy that had green hair at his side.
"Angel, the name's Angel" she said to the boys and greeted them as she usually would.
"I'm Robert leader of the Majestics and this is Oliver" the guy with purple hair introduced.
They didn't think anything of the way she introduced herself so she didn't need to explain.
"Well as you can tell, I'm the new addition to the Bladebreakers" Angel informed them.
"Will all bladers please come to the arena, I repeat will all the bladers please come to the arena!" they all heard DJ Jazzman announce.
"Well, we should all head off to the arena now" suggested Oliver.
"Yeah, ok!" Angel said, "come on Kai, we'll finish the intros later!" she said heading of to the arena with the Majestics closely behind.
"What a strange girl" Johnny murmured.
"Yeah, and I think she's hooked up with Kai" Enrique added.
"Even stranger" Johnny said.
"Oh yeah" Enrique agreed.
Soon they were all at the arena all in separate groups about to be introduced to the public.
(A/N: just to tell you I'm not going to add A.J. or Brad, I wouldn't get their characters right…)
"Ok then, it seems all the teams are here!" DJ Jazzman said through his microphone.
"First off, here's the Russian Bladerz with their new teammates Raisa and Alec!" he introduced.
There was a lot of cheering for them and a lot of catcalls from the guys for Raisa. Tala glared at all the guys he could, although it wasn't as fierce as Kai's glare could be.
There were a lot of fan girls screaming for Tala and the others but especially for Tala.
"Now for the Majestics and their new team member Elycia!" he continued to introduce.
There was a lot of cheering for them too; Enrique was soaking up all the attention from the girls.
"The Saint Shields come next with Christine as their new member!" announced Jazzman.
They got their share of applause too.
"Here come the Psykicks (sp?)! Their newest member is Chayse!" Jazzman said through the microphone.
"The PPB All Starz are also here with no new members, it seems they already had enough" DJ informed. (A/N I forgot to mention them last chapter 0)
"We also have two new teams, here are the Elemental Warriors! With Katherine, Faith Mark, Anali and Ethan!" he announced.
They got less applause but applause none the less.
'It can't be that Faith… can it?' Angel thought.
"Then we have the Blade Slayers! Violet, Jay, Elias, Jesse and Grace" he said announcing the Bladebreakers enemy.
You could hear Kai growling with a scowl and a fierce glare on his pale features.
"And last but not least last years champions the BLADEBREAKERS! Angel has taken the fifth spot on the team" he announced loudly.
There was so much applause and cheering you couldn't hear your self think.
Of course Kai got the most of the ladies' attention, and Ray did too. Tyson was bathing in the attention, he loved it all too much and Max was hyper and was almost as bad as Tyson.
"Jeez Kai, I didn't know you were so good with the ladies!" exclaimed Angel joking
"Our first battle today will be between the Majestics and the Psykicks!" informed DJ.
"It will begin in 15 minutes, which should give you some time to prepare, while we wait we will have Ming Ming perform a little something for us" he said.
(With the Bladebreakers)
"Ming Ming, the singer, performing, here?" Angel asked.
"Yeah" Max said, "if the chief were here he'd be drooling and…" he slowly and sadly stopped.
"Oh" Angel said, "I didn't know he liked her… she's ok, well some of her music I mean"
"You could totally beat her, you know you can" commented Danny.
Angel blushed, "I'm not that good, and you know how I am in crowds, especially big ones like this!" she said, "besides you know I'm not as good as her, and I never will be" she added quietly.
"Ay Angel, calmate (stop it or calm down)! Don't be like that, Melody" he said emphasizing the nickname their mom had given her.
"Anyway you're way better than her. She's just some kid looking for attention, she also loves to snoop and gossip" Ray added.
"Sounds like fun" Angel added sarcastically.
"I heard she's got the hotts for Kai" Max semi-whispered to her.
Kai turned around hearing his name.
"What!" Angel exclaimed.
"What you heard" Danny said trying to get her riled up.
"Well, who cares she can't compete with me" she boasted.
They all laughed at her.
"What? It's true!" she continued laughing a little with them.
"Anyways, let's go sit in the stands so that we can watch the battle, we won't be going up for a while" Ray informed.
Lil' angelgrl: So what did you think? Is it going down the drain?
Oh and sorry about putting the tournament so far in the story too! I didn't mean to, it just came out that way, SORRY!
Before I forget I didn't forget about Hilary and Kenny they'll show up in the next chappie, kay? Kay!
Any mistakes? Sorry about that if there are…
Well Thanx you people out there I love you all so MUCH!
