I hope to finish this before school starts, but I won't rush it too much.

!-Begin Chapter Sixteen-!

Didn't the doctors say to rest?

Within a few hours all of the girls were up. They all felt fine but they had to stay at the hospital overnight to be watched to make sure they were fine. The doctors were amazed at how quickly they had woken up.

"Man, I don't see the point in keeping us here. I feel fine."

That was Lily complaining. She couldn't accept sitting around in bed when she felt fine for twelve hours, which was what she had to do.

"I do too." Salima said as Mariam nodded her head in agreement.

"But I'd like to stay here if the doctor's say its needed."

Lily rolled her eyes and lay back. Hillary was a bit of a follower, too much so at times. She growled, this was boring. She closed her eyes to try and rest without dying from boredom, but she wasn't tired.

Grumbling she turned on her side and began to think. The others had come to visit for a while after they had woken up.

!-Flashback-!

Lily sat up in bed, thankful for something to keep her occupied. She looked over at Kai, Lea, Rei, Max, Molly, Mark, Daisy, Kenny, and Tyson while thinking the small hospital room was a little crowded.

"So, what happened?"

Molly spoke up, "We figured you had been taken hostage and went to find you. Mariam, Salima, and Hillary were kidnapped as well. We got a message from...someone." Lea had been about to say "Voltaire" but stopped, everyone who needed to know knew already. "We went to check it out, and the four of them" Lea pointed to Kai, Rei, Max and Tyson, "Rescued the four of you."

Lily shrugged in response. "Whatever." She rested back against the white pillows and closed her eyes, pretending to sleep, even if she wasn't tired in the slightest. "So when do the doctors say we can get out of here?"

Molly and Daisy exchanged a glance while Lea just offered a "hn". All three of them knew how well Lily would take the answer. "They say you have to stay here overnight for observation. The doctors don't believe that you could have woken up so fast." It was Daisy who had said that

Lily would have glared if her eyes were open, but they were closed. "Hn. Whatever."

!-End flashback-!

Lily sighed, this was going to be a boring twelve hours. And doubtlessly, she was right, she felt like her brains had been turned to mush because she had nothing to do except stare at the ceiling for five hours while the others slept, she wasn't that tired and therefore she stayed up all night.

The next morning her eyes were not really silver, they looked like a grayed turquoise. If one was to look closely at her eyes, which no one would have the chance to do, they would see that around her black pupils was a burst of turquoise, any one who knew her, knew it meant, don't talk to her if you liked to live.

She leaned back against the head of the bed, although it was uncomfortable to have the metal bars pressed into her back, the mechanism to lift the bed up wasn't working and she was tired of lying down. Still, she wasn't tired after staying up all night even though she had tried to sleep to save herself some boredom.

In the matter of five hours they were all let out of the hospital. Hillary's arm had been stitched so it wouldn't bleed. The doctors had also wrapped bandages tightly around the wound from elbow to wrist and then put the arm in a splint so she wouldn't move it and accidentally bump the arm into something as it would hurt her a lot. Hillary had been told not to run or jump around so she wouldn't trip and land on her arm. Hillary was only to happy to oblige.

The others had been told to take it easy, their bodies were still getting over the shock of the cold and the minor concussions they had received from being knocked out. Salima and Mariam weren't that happy, they had wanted to beybattle or train. Lily had decided that any orders the doctor could give her were on her "do not follow" list, and tuned him out during the ten-minute speech after assigned them that set of orders.

Lily took it relatively easy the rest of the day, if one could count doing five beybattles on the beach, running laps on the beach with the others to train, running around the forest, and weight lifting taking it easy. Hillary just sat on a bench overlooking the beach talking with the other two.

"Didn't the doctors say to rest? So why is Lily running and training?"

"I think she had tuned the doctor out while he was saying that. She was just looking outside."

"But why? I mean its only for her safety."

"Ever consider that I hate authority?" The three girls jumped startled as they hadn't heard Lily sneak up on them and looked up at the glaring teen, "Also, I'd appreciate it if you didn't discuss what I do if you're confused, just ask why I do things, most of the time I'll answer you." Lily then left them before they could reply and ran down the steps that led to the beach. The others were already down there.

After she got down she was immediately questioned. "So what were you using your cell phone for?"

Lily looked out over the ocean. "Tyson, that is my personal business, you had no right to ask. However, I was calling a great place I go to train every year around this time to see how much room they had."

"What does that mean?"

Molly spoke up, "She means, she was calling up the BBA's man-made-island to see if there was enough room to take you guys a long."

"Man-made-island?"

Lily looked over at Rei, as Daisy answered, "Correct. Every BBA outlet over the world raised money for a fund to make an island a bit off the coast of Japan near the outlet in that country as the water was shallowest over there and it was safest as it would disturb the wild life the least. The island was made ten years later. That was about thirty years ago, now the trees that were planted have made a forest. The island is used to train Beybladers with different amounts of training or just a place for Beybladers to grow stronger."

"Oh I get it. It sounds like a cool place."

"Why didn't I know about this? I thought I had all the info on training places the BBA knew about."

"Because, Kenny, that island doesn't give out brochures and you'd need to be registered members of the BBA to know about it. We're volunteers of the BBA so we know, most teams don't."

Kai decided to speak up, "How good is this place?"

"Very good, Kai," Lily spoke up again, "It offers a better training regime then running around at the very least, and aside from children just learning how to beyblade there are some older teams that backed out of the World Championships because it got old, like we did."

"Why are there little kids there? I thought only members knew about it."

"That's true, but the island is open to all BBA outlets over the world, not just the one here. Some outlets send the kids that have the most promise there to train and get stronger then they could at their outlets. Most outlets aren't as well equipped as the one in Japan or America." Daisy had taken up giving out information.

"No wonder my mom never told me. She knew I'd get strong by training with her."

"Yeah, but you don't show up daily and go through a series of tests there. There are tests but most of the training requires camping in the woods. Its more of a challenge. Of course its up to the captain to decide if he or she wants the team to go, it's a team effort."

Tyson, Max, and Rei looked over at Kai. The Saint Shields had to leave the previous night as well as Salima's team, but they had wanted their team mates to stay with the BladeBreakers so they could recover.

Kai glared at the three of them before nodding his head in approval.

A few days later, the Blade Breakers and the BeyGirls were standing on a dock, waiting for a ship to come and take them to the BBA's island. Behind them was a pile of luggage. It contained one small black traveling case, a charcoal colored bag, a white duffel bag, three brightly colored suit cases and a various assortment of luggage that amounted to one bag per person.

In a few minutes a boat docked near the group. It had a small cabin in the center of the deck, and some benches on top of the shelter for people to sit on. Around the edge of the boat was railing that went up to someone's abdomens. A crew member of the ship came over to a gate in the railing and slid it to the side. He then shoved a wooden plank concealed on the floor and shoved it by crouching down and shoving it with his hands, onto the dock so the group could get on.

He stood up and walked onto the dock. "Hello. My name is Kirao, I'm one of the guards on Isle Battle. If you'll gather your things and take them aboard and put them in the cabin we'll be able to get underway."

The BeyGirls just walked over to the pile and grabbed their bags and walked on, the Blade Breakers following shortly afterwards. In a few minutes there was a dull roar as the engine started and the boat left the dock.

Tyson and Max ran to the side of front of the boat, grinning into the breeze. Rei followed them but kept a few yards away.

Lily leaned against the railing with her back facing it and crossed her arms, hair blowing in the breeze made by the moving boat. Kai leaned against the cabin and crossed his arms as well. Hillary, Mariam, Salima, Molly, Daisy and Kenny went on top of the cabin and sat on the benches. Lea walked around the deck of the boat a few times before standing next to Lily, but she was facing the rails with her hands resting on them. The wind blew the loose purple braid to her left, only kept in black by a loose black chord.

"Lily, do you think it wise to train them there?" Her red eyes darkened slightly.

Lily looked sideways to Lea and ran a hand through her hair. "Of course, if I had a doubt I wouldn't have suggested it."

"Yes. The BladeBreakers, Kai, Rei, Max, and Tyson will do fine, but the others?" Lea questioned, meaning the injured Mariam, Salima, and Hillary.

"I'll have Molly and Daisy lead them to Dragon Head."

"And you? Your injuries haven't healed fully yet and you know it." Lea looked at Lily with an uncharacteristic amount of concern in her eyes.

Lily looked up and glared, "I'll be fine." Her tone was tense and restrained.
