This is getting lengthy. Oh, yeah, you'll get to see more of the Hiwatari family by the last chapter I swear it, I mean its been thirteen years since he saw his parents.
Officiality disclaimer- Kai's past, it belongs to me! It is entirely of my own invention, so don't go around spreading his past as the real deal! It involves his parents, whom happen to be my characters! Oh and –prances around- because I got annoyed at Aoki-dono for using no originality for Hiro's beyblade, "Metal Drigger" So I have thus renamed it, and the name Kinzo belongs to me!

Isle Battle Training
In an hour when the others finally woke up and ate their food, Lily led them to the western end of Dragon Head. She brushed aside the bamboo blinds that hid a large room. It was roughly three meters wide and ten meters long. The walls, unlike the rest of Dragon head, were painted a dull shade of oceanic gray. The floor was tiled in white the ceiling was painted white and bright lights were encases in the ceiling. The wall to the right of the door was made of metal that for some reason was folded in accordion style.
"Alright, I hope you all are awake, this test isn't exactly easy."
"What test? And where are Daisy, Molly, and Lea?"
"Your aptitude test. They all went by themselves to train with their own regimen."
Lily walked over to the far wall and lifted a panel that blended into the wall for the most part. She pressed the big red button. The metal wall divided in half and folded to the sides. The folding of the wall revealed a connected room. Its walls were made of metal and had panels of random sizes and shapes all over it, wall, ceiling and floor. It seemed to be a hallway about five meters long, two meters high and three meters wide. At the end of the hall was a large beystadium made of white marble it seemed. Jutting out from the doorframe leading into the hall was a small panel with a dial, a big green button, and a small blue button saying "fetch"
"What's with this? Don't tell me this is the test."
Lily let a small smirk creep across her face at Tyson's comment. She remained silent and walked over to the panel. "Tyson, how good of a blader do you think you are? Novice, Beginner, Average, Advanced, or Expert?"
"I'm an Expert of course, I am the champ." Tyson didn't even try to sound modest as he let a cocky tone creep into his voice.
Lily's smirk became a little bigger and she turned the dial and pressed the button. She walked back as the accordion doors covered the hallway once more. There was a slight whir of machinery and after a few minutes the doors opened again. This time it wasn't as much of a hallway as it was a battle field. Spikes jutted out randomly on the walls and floor. There were several small pits scattered randomly on the floor. There were small pipes, beams, wires, and so on.
"Tyson, the test is this navigate the course to the stadium where you will then battle a computer controlled blade."
"What! You've gotta be kidding me."
"I would have suggested a lower level then this, but you were so eager to do Expert that I decided to let you try. Unless you can't do it."
"You do it first!" Lily rolled her eyes. She pulled her blade from out of her pocket and put it into her launcher, which she had been carrying in one hand. She pulled the white rip chord out of her pocket and shoved it into the launcher. She walked into the hallway, studied and took a few paces to the left of the center. She launched her blade with the launcher at an angle.
The blade landed smoothly on the metallic floor and spun in a circle for a second before moving to one of beams that was angled with the floor. Her white blade went up the beam and jumped off of it, successfully dodging the row of spikes the encircled the hallway at that area and would have been impossible to dodge otherwise. Successfully dodging all of the traps and spikes and hazards in the hall, it almost made the impossible task Lily had set upon Tyson seem easy.
When Lily's blade reached the stadium, a blade was shot from one of the walls surrounding it. And it was on fire. The blade was aimed at the white blade, but the pre-attack was dodged. The fiery blade attacked Lily's blade once again, but once more the attack was dodged, almost lazily. Lily's blade then attacked the fiery blade and knocked it into the air. Lily crossed her arms.
"Dalila," She said softly, "use solar rays." Dalila, Lily's blade, jumped in front of a light and spun fast and faster. Shortly after that was done Dalila went on the attack and jumped into the blade and melted the attack ring slightly and sent it flying out of the ring. After that Dalila came back to Lily who caught it, tossed it in the air and caught it once more before pocketing it.
Kenny had opened his laptop and recorded the whole thing. "Amazing! I've never seen anything like that before."
"Chief?"
"I barely was able to record that! Lily..." Lily covered Kenny's mouth with her hand.
"I attacked the blade with enough force to slice through it partially and didn't get stuck." She walked away from Kenny and wiped her hand on her pants and looked at Tyson, "Still wanna do Expert?"
"Nah, I'll warm up first on Average."
"Alright."
She turned the dial once more and pressed the green button again. Tyson walked in front of the doors and waited, when they opened the course had changed. It looked a lot easier and it was much less of a battle field. Tyson pulled his Dragoon blade out and launched it. He made it through the course easily enough and defeated his opponent, but Dragoon stopped spinning in the stadium. Lily pressed the blue button and the bottom of the stadium opened, the Dragoon fell into it and a small conveyer belt popped out of the wall and the Dragoon blade came out on it, fell to the floor and Lily picked it up and tossed it at Tyson.
"You need more endurance or use your energy less often."
The rest of the morning was spent on tests. The four bladers all started on Average level. The course changed, from each test so no one knew what they were going up against next. Rei and Kai both had enough spin to go back through the course and they went to Advanced level. Rei managed to make it to the stadium, but he stopped spinning during the battle. Kai managed to finish the fight, but half way back through the course Dranzer fell into one of the many pits littering the floor.
During lunch the whole group spilt up into two groups. The first one was Tyson, Hillary, Max, Mariam, Molly, and Kenny. The second group was Kai, Lily, Rei, Salima, and Daisy. Lea wasn't spotted at all.
While Rei and Salima were off getting food, Lily decided to question Kai about something that had been bothering her since that morning.
"Kai, You haven't seen your parents for a long time. Why didn't you want to talk to them?" It was true, after Lea had packed a basket for lunch, Kai had sat around, drinking his mango juice, refusing to speak to his mom and dad. He had put his glass into the sink and walked out of the kitchen.
"Hn. When I was four they left me with my grandfather. Then he sent me to the Abbey."
"So you hate your parents for that, do you?"
"Hn, yes."
"Kai, you should know, that your parents were aware of what went on in the Abbey. When I snuck into the Abbey all that time ago it was because they had helped me and I thought it was fair to do a return favor and they had wanted to know how you were doing."
"Hnh."
Lily sighed and looked up as Rei and Salima came back.
"So Lily, what are we going to be doing for the rest of the week?"
"Oh, this and that." Lily looked up as Tyson went back for his tenth round of food. "That kid is going to eat up all the food supplies."
"He never gets tired of eating. Sometimes I think he should be the eating world champ instead of the BeyBlade world champ."
Lily remained passive about this comment from Rei while Kai smirked.
So, for the rest of the damned week the BladeBreakers trained themselves ragged with Lily leading them. They went through several mental and physical hardships. However, all this hard work did not go with out its reward. Max and Tyson were able to complete the Average test. Tyson managed to get to the Stadium in Advanced. Max managed to nearly finish Advanced but his beyblade stopped spinning at the last second. Rei managed to make it through Advanced, but his blade got knocked out halfway to the stadium. Kai achieved getting to the battle in Expert, but was knocked out a few seconds into the battle. Their stats had drastically improved, but still, they were never able to beat Daisy.
As they all came back to the dojo, Tyson dropped his bag and lifted an arm up to defend himself from his grandfather's wooden sword.
"Grandpa! I just got back, and this is how you welcome me!"
"I was just testing how you've improved, my boy. Usually I'd whack you on the head like that." His grandpa nodded wisely and used his sword as a resting place for his hand, "It seems you did get worked over there. Oh, before I forget, your brother is here."
"What? Hiro is here?" Tyson dropped his bag and ran off. He ran into his room and found a young man with slightly gray royal blue hair and brown eyes sitting on his bed. He was wearing a white shirt with a yellow jacket and baggy pants. "Hiro? It really is you!"
The man, now introduced as Hiro, looked up as Tyson. "Ah, little bro, you're back. Did you enjoy yourself?"
"Well enjoy isn't the word for it."
Hiro laughed a little, "So, how good have you become?"
"Really good, I could beat you now for sure."
"Really? Want to test that?"
"You bet! There's a stadium in the back."
Tyson ran out to the back and Hiro got up and followed his younger brother. There were several blank stares after the two.
"Who was that?"
Tyson's grandfather came up behind them, "Hiro? That's Tyson's older brother. He left when Tyson was little to help their dad in unearthing some ruins out in China somewhere. Tyson's always wanted to beat him."
The others accepted this information and went around back to watch the battle. Hiro used a bright green Beyblade, which he called "Kinzo suno". Tyson's Dragoon Galaxy was unfortunately outclassed by Hiro's blade and he lost.
"Wow, what sort of Beyblade is that?"
"Its an S series blade." Hiro caught Kinzo in his hand and pocketed, "You still have a long way to go little bro."
"S series? No wonder, I've got a G series."
"Don't be so hard on the blade, little bro, you've still got a long way to go before you truly master the Dragoon Galaxy."
"I know, I know." Tyson sighed, "Its just, I thought the World Champ was undefeatable."
Molly laughed at Tyson, "Oh come on, you don't really believe that do you? The World Champ isn't undefeatable. There are plenty of better bladers out there that are stronger then you, they just can't compete or choose not to. Don't let that title get to your head, its just a title after all."
Daisy blinked and Leo stretched up and rested the back of his hand on Molly's forehead.
"Are you feeling okay? That was some serious advice. I'd expect Lily to say that more then you."
"If I ever gave speeches."
"Oh come on, I can give advice once and a while, can't I? I'm not always sugar high."
!-End Chapter Nineteen-!
I'm getting random while typing. Can you, my loyal readers, tell? I'll probably revise the randomness, but it stays for now. And due to writing constraints, I didn't put as much detail into the tests after Lily...sorry, I would put more detailing in, but I can't right now, I'm beating my brains out as is. Don't worry I still want to write...I'm just running myself dry...it shouldn't be too bad though, I hope, considering after this like the rest of the freaking story is planned out so much, its going to be easy to type up.
Oh yeah, by the end of the chapter...I was giving up on detailing near the end, I just wanted to get into the final stretch, sorry 'bout that if it peeved you. We'll be back on the island by the end of this story, I promise it, and Kai will forgive his parents for what they did.
