Heya guys and dolls. It's time for an update. Sorry it's taken so long, I've been really busy recently – mainly with homework which isn't a laugh a minute, but hey its gotta get done sometime. Now to my reviewers:
Bloody-Shadows: You liked the last chapter then? Lol. Um... I think I'll have to decline on the offer to use your character as Rei's love interest, sorry. Its just I don't think it would fit in with the storyline I had planed for my story. But maybe I'll use her in a future fanfic of mine eh? Please don't hate me! I think I'll leave Rei single in this fic.
Sakura : Glad you appreciate the effort I've put into the last chaper, this chapter has more research stuff in it too so enjoy!
Ilovecake2 : Wow 3 reviews from you lol! I guess you like my story, cheers! Glad you like the cliffies cause there's plenty more where they came from.
Ms.SoUrPuSs : Hey thanks for reviewing even though you were in a rush. You'll find out far more about the moonstones in this chapter so I hope you enjoy it!
Diamond Core: Yeah I spose not many authors do research but I do. I was really bored in the summer holidays, so when I decided to write this fic I found out loads of things for it. All my research was done ages ago, but finally now I can use it because I've reached this point in my story. I'm pleased you like cliffies. I do too, but when are you going to update your story? I've been in suspense for ages about it! Please update yours soon.
Well now it time for the rest of the story, enjoy!
Chapter 20: Jelena?
LAST TIME
"Your tactics never change," she said with no emotion in her voice.
The stranger called back his blade.
"Neither do yours," replied the stranger in a cocky tone.
"Wait a second," interrupted Kenny "You know each other?"
Silence fell over everyone. No one dared to speak. Cassie and the hooded figure continued to glare holes into each other. The Bladebreakers had never known Cassie to have such a cold stare, it was almost identical to Kai's. Eventually the ebony haired girl broke the silence.
"I knew who you were as soon as I saw the letter." Stated Cassie. "Aysel only confirmed my suspicions... You might as well show your face, you cover's blown now."
The figure nodded and removed his hood. A boy of around Kai's age stood before them. He had a mass of creamy-blond hair and deep pine-green eyes.
He and Cassie continued to stare deeply at one another. Then a small smile appeared onto the boys lips, Cassie then too began to smile as she rushed to hug the boy.
"I've missed you so much!" she squealed as she bear-hugged the stranger.
The Bladebreakers stood dumb founded. Kai seemed particularly shocked.
"Err... Can some one explain what's going on please? 'Cause I'm like totally confused here," said Max
"You're not the only one," replied Kai, who sounded a little agitated.
The two teens stopped hugging and turned to the Bladebreakers.
"Oh sorry guys," apologised Cassie. "Let me introduce you all to my best friend...Daren."
Both teams were now sat down in a circle. Cassie sat in between Kai and Daren. The new team had all taken their hoods off to show their faces.
"So Cassie how do you all know each other?" asked Rei
"These guys are from my village back in Korea. I've known them since like... well forever!" Exclaimed Cassie
"You never mentioned you knew a Beyblading team," said Max
"You never mentioned us?" Daren turned to look at the girl.
"Well err... no, I mean... I err..."
"Why should she want to mention you?" shrugged Kai simply.
Daren seemed a little taken aback by this comment, you could even say he seemed hurt.
"I just thought she'd mention her old team."
"What!?" exclaimed the Bladebreakers.
Cassie looked to Daren wide eyed, she shook her head with worry.
'Please don't tell them' she thought
"You never told us you were on a Beyblade team." Stated Kai
"She wasn't just on it, she was captain of Team Twilight. But I guess she failed to tell you that too."
Daren began to stand up and dust off his clothes from sitting on the grass. He seemed annoyed at Cassie for not mentioning her old friends.
"Team Twilight, I'm sure I've heard of that team," pondered Rei.
"It wouldn't surprise me; we are the Korean champions after all."
"You definitely didn't tell us that!" exclaimed Tyson.
"I... I..." Cassie stuttered to find an explanation.
"Is there anything else you haven't told us?" Asked a stern Kai.
His face had a deep frown on it.
Why hadn't she told him anything of her old team before? Why had she led the Bladebreakers to believe she was an amateur? For some reason Kai knew there was something else she was hiding.
The Korean girl looked to the floor before looking to Daren. The blonde boy raised an eyebrow at his friend.
"I think they deserve to know," he replied simply. "Don't you...? Cassie?"
"Deserve to know what?" asked Max
Cassie sighed softly and looked to the Bladebreakers.
"Its probably easier if I explain about my team and my village first.... You know how Rei's village has the power of cats?"
The Bladebreakers nodded
"Well our village has the power of night... in particular the moon. Our team name is Team Twilight. All our Bitbeasts are nocturnal animals, as you may have realised. Their names; Selene, Aysel, Chandra, Kamaria and Nuray all mean 'moon' in various languages. Our own names also mean something too..."
Another of Team Twilight spoke up. He had medium length lavender hair and dark blue eyes.
"I'm Mika, owner of Chandra, my name means New Moon"
A boy with short spiky teal hair and purple eyes spoke next.
"Nuray's my Bitbeast. I'm called Tariq which means Night Visitor."
The next to speak was a tanned boy. He had long black hair tied into a pony tail, and dark brown eyes.
"The names Samir, meaning Evening Companion. Selene is my Bitbeast."
The blonde captain was next.
"Daren means Born at Night, quite fitting considering I was. I own Kamaria."
The small member of their team fidgeted slightly. He had a mass of scruffy orange hair and icy blue eyes.
"I'm the owner of Aysel. My name is Tino... its kind of an exception to the rest of my team because it means Small."
"For some reason the tradition was not followed when Tino was named, but then again his older brother, Tariq was named like us, so perhaps that's why." Added Cassie
"And what's your name mean Cassie?" asked Tyson
"I'll come to that in a minute... Our team is unique in the fact that we can harness the power of the moon via these."
The lilac eyed girl held out her moonstone, the rest of her old team followed her example and held out their own gems.
"Part of the moons energy is trapped inside these gemstones... It's something only the people of our village can use. We were all taught from an early age... When we battle in a Beyblade match, we can use these to give our Bitbeast more power or less if it is needed. For example when I battled Tyson, I used my moonstone to control Patiere's energy levels. We can use our moonstones together to increase this energy level. Here I'll show you."
Cassie launched her blade. Daren also did so, Kamaria and Patiere began to circle each other. The Bladebreakers watched with interest.
The two bladers, who were now standing, stood facing each other. They took out their moonstones and looked towards the full moon.
Shutting their eyes at exactly the same time they raised they arms towards the moon. The Bladebreakers watched in amazement as the gems began to glow in the moonlight.
Both Patiere and Kamaria began to spin faster and encircle each other at a quicker rate.
Daren and Cassie snapped open their eyes in unison, which was freaky in itself, but what made it worse was their eyes were now glowing a white sheen. The glow surrounded both of their bodies. The darkness of the night emphasised this white glow of the moonstones.
Now Patiere and Kamaria were spinning at an incredible speed. A trail of smoke followed each of the blades, showing just how fast they were going. Soon the two blades had created a small tornado between them.
The rest of Team Twilight now held out their glowing stones too. The five of them stood in a sort of star shape.
"PATIERE!" cried Cassie
"KAMARIA" cried Daren
A beam of light shot from each of the moonstones into the centre of the five people, and then directly up into the night sky. As this happened, Patiere and Kamaria rose out of their blades and encircled the beam of light.
The two blades were now super charged. They began to do a criss-cross shape around the beam of light. All of a sudden the two blades clashed and a huge sheet of white light surrounded everyone there.
When the light faded, the Bladebreakers saw with amazement that the two blades were still spinning. The two bladers called back their blades.
"Wow, that was some power you two had!" gasped Max
"Yeah I've never seen anything like that before!" added Rei
"It was impressive," stated Kai. "But you still haven't told us what your name means."
The girl hung her head so that her long, dark, wavy hair covered her face.
"Well?" the tone of his voice sounded impatient.
She remained silent. Kai folded his arms in annoyance.
"Cassie... Why won't you tell me? What does you're name mean?"
"Shining Light," she whispered
"Shining Light?"
"Yeah." The girl lifted her head to look at Kai. "Jelena means Shining Light."
"Jelena?!"
Hmmmm yet another cliffie... hope you liked it. The moonstone queries have been answered at last! Now there's a new twist to the plot – yeah it's kinda strange but I think it will work. At least I hope you guys like it.
Just a note: Jelena is pronounced Yelena (That's just in case you didn't know already)
I'm not going to be able to update for a while. I'm going on holiday in half term and it will probably take the week after that to write the next chapter.
So that will give you plenty of time to review this chapter – only joking you don't have to review if you don't want to, but I would appreciate it!
Until next time
