Heya all! Wow I'm over 400 reviews now for this story yay! Thank you so much to all my reviewers, hugs to you all! I loved reading all your reviews for chapter 37, some of them made me chuckle, and yes, Ilovecake2 you were reviewer 400 lol.

I get the impression that a lot of you wanted this chapter to be the battle between the White Tigers and Team Twilight. Well after careful consideration, I've come to the decision to make their match after the BBA and Demolition Boys battle each other… you'll see why!

Now then I have recently been reading an amazing fanfic by an author called TwinCharm. I particularly like this one of her stories because it's so much different from the rest. It's a sort of action/adventure/mystery/magical story and it's FAB! I strongly recommend you read it, its called What You Don't Know Can't Hurt You… it's a super good read, though sadly very people review it. I know it's cheeky to ask you all, but if could spare some time and R&R I know TwinCharm would greatly appreciate it. So far its only 5 chapters long, so it won't take you exceedingly long to read and it definitely won't be a waste of your time!

Ok that's my bit of advertising done lol, now onto the next chapter. I've found this chapter is… well there's a lot of waffle in it I think. I'm sorry if it bores you, but it kind of sets everything up for these last few chapters, therefore it is necessary!

Chapter 38: Surprise!

"…And then he hit Daren!"

"No way! Kai did that?"

"Yes way,"

The former Bladebreakers sat around the café table trying to take in all of the information. They anxiously watched their Korean friend as she clenched her fists.

"It was a proper full punch! I had to take Daren to the hospital; I really thought he'd broken his nose!"

"But he's ok now?" asked Max.

"Yes thank goodness, the doctor said it had just caused a nose bleed and some bruising. It looked worse than it actually was apparently."

"Well that's good at least," commented Rei who was trying to put a positive spin on the issue.

"One thing I don't get though, is why Kai freaked out like that,"

"I don't know for sure Chief, but he kept making accusations that I'd kissed Daren…"

"And did you?" enquired Rei

"Of course not! I never have! Daren's like my brother, besides which I love Kai – there's no way I'd ever cheat on him. Kai just kept insisting that I had… ok, so I did give Daren a peck on the cheek – but that was only to say thank you for looking after me! Is that wrong?"

It was now clear that Cassie was near hysterical.

"Not if it's just as you said it was," reasoned Rei

"It was, I swear it was! We were in our team room, and Daren had just comforted me because I'd been crying about how much I missed Kai."

"I see… well in that case it seems harmless,"

"Yeah I have to agree with Max, it seems Kai over reacted… Wait a sec! Did you said you were in your team room? Then how did Kai know about it?"

Rei was always the quick thinker of the group.

"Oh this is where it gets way better!" replied Cassie, sarcasm dripping from her tense voice. "I asked that Kai that very same question, and he went on about how he'd seem a tape of it."

"A tape?"

"Yeah Hil, a tape. Apparently it seems that Boris has been secretly recording our team room."

"Are you sure?" asked Rei

"Positive! We searched the room this morning – we didn't wanna take any chances that Kai was telling the truth you see and… well, Samir found s small camera hidden in one of the vents."

"I can't believe Boris would pull something like this! He's even lower that I thought!" exclaimed an angry Tyson

"Yeah well, that's the reason I called you all here… We can't be he hasn't done the same to any of your rooms either. So please check them and be careful what you say in there."

Kenny thought carefully before viewing his opinion of the situation.

"If Boris has viewed all of the team rooms, then that would mean he'd know about…"

"All of our strategies," concluded Max

"Exactly! Which means he knows exactly how to counter attack every move we make! I'm gonna have to completely change Team Twilights strategies and alter all of our attacks, just so that creep doesn't second guess us!"

"If he has been spying on all of us, then surely The White Tigers and BBA Revolution should change their tactics too?"

"Certainly Hilary, I just hope I've managed to warn you all in time… especially your team Tyson, because you'll be playing them in a few hours."

The Japanese boy looked ready to explode, however, he remained clam.

"It gonna be tough but it looks like we have little choice, I just hope we can pull it off."

Tyson's fighting spirit always managed to cheer up his friends.

"Well saying that, we better go and break the news to Zeo and Daichi, we're gonna need to re-train immediately,"

"Sure thing Chief, see you later guys. Oh and thanks for warning us Cassie, it means a lot to me,"

"No problem Tyson, I'm only too happy to help. Just don't train so hard you get tired, the Demolition Boys are very strong."

"I won't!"

With that Tyson, along with Hilary and Kenny, made a speedy exit to their room.

"Oh and don't forget to check you're team room first!" Called Cassie

She waited for a response but her friends had already disappeared in the distance, Cassie turned back to Max and Rei.

"I hope they heard me,"

"Don't worry, they won't forget. Well, Tyson may, but the others won't."

The girl chuckled at Max's humour.

"So Cassie, have you informed Mr. Dickenson about all of this, after all he is in charge." Asked Rei

"Yeah, I told him straight away."

"What did he say? I mean, surely what Boris is doing is against the rules."

"It is Max. If I press charges, then the Demolition Boys could be expelled from the tournament."

"And are you going to?"

"No."

"NO?"

The chorus of her two friends' obvious shock made Cassie smirk.

"But why not?" exclaimed Max

"Because… that would be letting them off too easily."

Cassie could tell by her friend's faces that they still didn't understand.

"If their team is forfeited from the competition, then I won't get the chance to prove to Boris that cheating doesn't prosper. I'm gonna settle this in a match. My whole team has decided that if we should face the Demolition Boys in the finals – they will pay. No one, messes with Team Twilight!"

"You forget though Cassie, that you still have to beat my team to get to the finals."

"Oh I haven't forgotten Rei," smiled the lilac eyed girl. "In fact, I just wanted to explain why it is my team will be showing you no mercy tomorrow… I'm not trying to sound cocky - I know your team will be difficult to beat, but we are determined to play against Kai's team in the finals."

"I see… but you still have to rely on the BBA loosing today,"

"I know…" she replied solemnly. "As much as I do want Tyson to win… I don't think he'll be able to, the other team has too much of an advantage. If the Demolition Boys have been spying on them too, then the BBA will have to completely change their attack strategy to surprise them…"

"Tyson still has a few tricks left up his sleeve though Cass,"

"Maybe so, but do the rest of his team? As much as I know, they are good bladers, but there's still something that makes me doubt their chances against the rest of the Demolition Boys. They creep me out, there's something… evil about them…"

The other two nodded in agreement. Both had experienced the full wrath of that team.

"Anyway I must get back to my team now guys. See you soon! I look forward to our battle Rei,"

"Me too Cassie, me too…"

"3…2…1… Let them Rip!"

"Go Strata Dragoon!"

"Attack Wolborg"

Sparks flew as the two blades crashed violently into one another. Tala's silver blade pulled back as Daichi began his approach. Carefully Tala observed the smaller boy's attack.

'Time to see if Boris's plan will work'

"Strata attack!"

A smirk appeared on the Russian's lips as Wolborg effortlessly evaded each move.

"Hey! What's the big idea? You're supposed to be battling here, not chickening out!" cried Daichi

No matter how hard the smaller boy tried, his attack was always met with a more powerful counter-attack.

'Boris' plan is working like magic,' thought Tala. 'I can dodge every move Daichi makes and hit him back with twice as much power…all I need now is to wait for Strata Dragoon to run out of power and then victory will be mine.'

"Why isn't Daichi having any effect chief!" cried Tyson in desperation.

"Tyson there's no need to yell… but I can see why you're frustrated, it seems that Tala has memorised every one of Strata Dragoon's attacks and found a way to counter-attack them all! I'm afraid at this rate, Daichi will simply wear himself out before he even makes a mark on Wolborg…"

Tala smirked

'I guess they're cleverer than they look. No matter, it's too late for them to help their friend now.'

"So you ready to give up yet?" asked the red haired Russian

"Ha! No way, you haven't beaten me yet Tala. Go Strata Dragoon!"

"Fool, you can't beat me! Wolborg!"

Once again the two blades went through the same process whereby Wolborg managed to counter attack every one of Strata's attacks. Tala yawned.

"This is starting to bore me…"

'Now's my chance' thought Daichi, 'right when he least expects it,'

"Strata Dragoon! Volcano Eruption!"

Tala almost choked, his eyes widened in shock.

"Wha? B-but that's not one of your attacks!"

"Correction, it wasn't one of my attacks… but now it is! Surprise! This'll teach you to spy on me! Go Strata!"

The purple blade began to spin rapidly that it soon became invisible. Tala looked onwards not knowing quite what to expect next. Suddenly Daichi's blade emerged from the ground directly beneath Wolborg, propelling the silver blade out of the stadium.

It landed on the ground, motionless, just in front of its owner. Tala fell to his knees, letting out a small growl. Daichi merely stuck out his tongue before returning to his cheering team.

"Way to go Daichi, put 'em there pal! That was a great battle!"

"Thanks Tyson! Nice acting by the way! Now you have something to live up to!" replied the boy cheekily.

"Hey it'll be no problem!"

"Tyson I wouldn't be cocky if I were you," interrupted Kenny. "Your battle against Kai will decide who goes onto the finals… at the moment we're at a tie…"

"I hear ya chief! Don't worry, I'm the man for the job!"

"You lost Tala," replied the man in a dark tone that sent shivers down the boy's spine.

"I know Sir… I'm sorry, it seems you're plan was as successful as we had hoped,"

"Are you accusing my plan of being faulty?"

"O-Of course not sir…I just didn't expect them to know about the camera,"

"Well we all know why that happened… No doubt that girl warned them…"

Boris shot a cold glare towards Kai, who immediately looked away.

"I'm sorry sir… I've failed you again…" muttered Tala grimly

"You best just hope that Hiwartari wins the next round, other wise you will regret everything…"

Tala gulped… This man was deadly serious. The purple haired man turned to their silent member of the team.

"Now Kai, you know what you have to do… Do not fail me…"

"Hnn," was his only reply

"Make sure you do everything exactly as I have instructed…"

The boy rose to his feet and walked to the stadium in silence.

"Kai? Are you listening? Kai! Do not go against what I said!"

Kai made no attempt at a reply, nor a sign that he had even heard the cruel man's words. A low growl escaped Boris as he watched the silent figure prepare for his match.

'For you're friends sake Kai, you had better follow our plan.'

Right then I think I'll leave this chapter there… I'm sorry to anyone who was expecting Kai and Tyson's battle in this one but I decide that it will fit better in the next chapter… oh and speaking of which I've already started writing it.

Hope you all enjoyed this chapter… it wasn't great but hey ho! The next one will be much better, I promise! Please review any thoughts and feelings about it, and don't forget to check out What You Don't Know Can't Hurt You, cheers!
