Heya guys sorry its taken so long for an update. Thanks for all your reviews, they made me smile. I'm past 60 reviews now yippee! (66 to be exact)

LunaRavenCroft: ahem #Laugh nervously# please don't tie me down, I promise to write more! Honest! But hey glad you feel so strongly bout my story #big grin#

Diamond Core: Well I might have something planned for Hilary and Tyson, you just might find out in this chapter.

Ms.SoUrPuSs, Devi of the Wolves and everyone else who wants to know more about the crystal thing you'll find out more in this chapter, but not everything. More will be revealed in each chapter, just to torture you all!

archangel-warrior: Hey sorry, when I wrote out your last name the stars wouldn't show up, and I doubt that the squiggly thing you've got in your new name will show up either. Sorry! Well I'm not sure how many chapters there's left to the story exactly, but I'm aiming for around... 40. Is that ok? It might not be as many as that, it all depends on how many chapters I fit the storyline into. Hope that answers your question

Also thanks to cidmil jercoy and pishcules for reviewing. Now lets get on with the chapter. This is only a suggestion, but I've found a song that will fit with this chapter very well. Its "With You" by Linkin Park. Don't start playing till later on in the chapter, I'll let you know when. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade, I only own my OC's and their bitbeasts.

Chapter 18: Moonstones and More

Two weeks had passed since Cassie and Kai had won the tournament. The couple had been busy with all the interviews and press meetings that go with winning such a tournament, but now the hype had died down.

All the Bladebreakers were now resting at Tyson's dojo. Zeo had chosen to go away for a few weeks so he could brush up on his blading skills, he was still disappointed with his performance at the tournament even though he and Tyson were runners up.

Everything was peaceful, even Tyson and Hilary weren't fighting.

But this may have been because they had since declared their love for each other, and were now dating. Cassie guessed that Hilary had realised her true feelings for Tyson when she had feared he'd been hurt during the final.

The blast the two received had been quite immense. Amazingly Tyson seemed completely unfazed by the event, however his captain had not been so lucky.

Kai still hadn't recovered from that battle. He still had frequent dizzy spells if he trained for too hard. Doctors had told him to take it easy, to restore his energy levels; but of course Kai wouldn't listen and insisted he was fine.

He now lay his head on Cassie's lap whilst she read a book to him. Rei and Max were cleaning their blades. Kenny was talking to Hilary about new training schedules. And Tyson... well he was eating as usual.

So the dojo was peaceful to a certain extent.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door, which made Kai sit up

The gang looked at each other – they weren't expecting visitors.

"Who could that be?" asked Max

"I'll go see," replied Cassie

She went to the door and opened it. The dark haired girl was confronted with a tall figure in a brown rag cloak. A hood covered its face.

"Give this to your captain," it said in a muffled as it shoved an envelope into Cassie's hand. Then it turned and ran down the path, and out onto the street.

"Hey wait!" she cried, "Damn he's gone."

Slightly confused she went back inside, to be greeted by her team.

"Who was it?" asked Hilary

"I don't know, he had a hood on and muffled his voice. He said to give this to you Kai."

They all watched as their captain took the envelope. He opened it and pulled out a letter, as he did so a small stone fell out of the envelope. Rei picked it up and examined it.

"What's this?" he enquired.

"It looks like some kind of gem stone," replied Kenny

"Can I see," asked Cassie.

Rei dropped the small gem into her hand. She frowned. The opal smooth texture was one she knew all too well.

"It's a moon stone," she said with no emotion in her voice. "What's the letter say?"

"I can't tell, it's not in a language I recognise."

"Give it here," said Hilary. "I know a few languages maybe I can help. Now lets see... Oh its Korean I think, um Cassie I think you'd be best to read it out. It's got some words I don't recognise, probably something to do with beyblades, here."

(AN: I've suddenly realised that I didn't explain that in this fic, Hilary lived in Cassie's village in Korea for a few years before she moved to Japan. So that's how they know each other and why Hilary knows a little bit of Korean. Hope that clears that up!)

Cassie took the letter and read it out.

Dear Bladebreakers,

We are beyblade team that's new to Japan. I understand that you are the best beybladers in the world. I would like to see if this is true. We challenge you're team to battle ours, 10 o'clock tomorrow night, just outside the North Forest. Come see us, if you're not too afraid of the dark that is.

T.T

PS. You might want to bring along my Shining Light to help you.

The girl scowled at the letter in her hand.

"Well that's a bit of a strange letter," said Max

"Are we going to accept their challenge Kai?" asked Rei

"Of course. The Bladebreakers never pass up a challenge."

"Yeah and we never lose either!" added Tyson

"Cassie are you ok?"

"Huh? Oh I'm fine Hilary, I just need to get some air. I'll be outside if you need me"

(AN: start playing the song now, but don't start reading the outside part until the lyrics start - it fits better then.)

As the girl exited the room, she heard Tyson say

"What do you suppose 'my Shining Light' means?"

"I guess it must have been that moon stone that was in the letter." Replied Kenny

- Outside -

The girls sighed softly as she breathed in the cold night air.

She looked up to the full moon, it cast a silvery light on her face.

'Could it be,' she thought

- Flashback -

She went to the door and opened it. The dark haired girl was confronted with a tall figure in a brown rag cloak. A hood covered its face.

"Give this to your captain," it said in a muffled as it shoved an envelope into Cassie's hand. Then it turned and ran down the path and out onto the street.

- End Flashback -

'Was that him...?'

She looked at the gem stone in her right hand, then with her left hand she shoved the letter into her pocket, whilst retrieving her own moonstone. For a while she compared the two gems.

They were very similar in colour and texture but hers was much larger. Bringer them closer to her face she remembered how she'd got her own. Suppressing this thought she brought the two gems up to the moonlight.

'Only they'd know about the moonlight stones...'

She closed her eyes as she concentrated hard, when she opened her eyes they had changed from their usual lilac colour. They were now gleaming white. A whitish glow also surrounded Cassie as the two moonstones began to glow a brightly in her hand.

The glow was almost as bright as the moon itself. Cassie stayed like this a few seconds, he eyes fixed onto the two shining gems. Her eyes suddenly went wide as if she were in pain. Immediately the glow began to fade.

'Well that's settles it, there genuine moonstones. Which means...'

Cassie pulled out Patiere and brought it next to the two stones. The purple blade flickered a lilac colour as it touched the two gems.

'It must be them, but why would they send it though?'

She turned to the moon as if it would answer her questions. Putting the moonstones into her pocket she brought out the letter once again. Unfolding it she began to read it.

"my Shining Light" she whisperedwith a hint of dread "That settles it, it is them"

We challenge you're team to battle ours, 10 o'clock tomorrow night, just outside the North Forest

"They're fools to battle us,"

She launched Patiere and watched the blade circle a near by tree, suddenly the blade began to spin faster as it went in a figure of eight pattern in the dojo courtyard. As Cassie caught her blade she looked as the scorch marks on the floor. A smirk appeared on her face.

"I'll be waiting... 10 o'clock tomorrow night... I can't wait."

With that the girl turned to return inside, only to be met by a friendly pair of ruby eyes. Hilary seemed concerned for her friend. She had observed Cassie's actions with the moonstone and how her friend had began to glow. Hilary sadly knew what this could mean.

"Is it from..." Hilary started to ask, but was cut off by her Korean friend.

"Yeah... They've found me."

Haha well there's a kind of cliffie for you! I hope you like it, the start was a bit lame I think. I hope the music fitted if you played it. Oh well, I better start writing the next chapter, I think the next chapter will be my favourite; its full of surprises and should be very long. I've been planning it for some time now. I'll update as soon as I've finished it.

Please Review!
