Okay, here's the next chapter for you guys.


"3-2-1-Let it rip!"

While Cam was giving help on the sidelines and Tai shouting stuff, Gou slipped away.

"Dragoon, come on!"

"Don't give in Griffolyon!"

"Makoto, don't use too much of your stamina, you have to save it and try to use Griffolyon's own power against it!" said Cam.

"Okay! I've beaten this guy before and I can do it again!" said Makoto with confidence.

"What the?" Laird was having trouble against Rayna.

"Driger, keep it up!" said Rayna.

"You can't run away forever!" said Laird.

"Who said I was? Driger! Go Attack!" Rayna shouted.

"Alright! Go Rayna!" Tai cheered.

"Amphilyon! Go get him!" Dante ordered.

"Don't run Draciel, take in the hit!" said Mark and Amphilyon bounced right off Draciel.

"You can't break through my defense!" said Mark with a smirk.

"Unicolyon!" Quennel shouted ordering the attack.

"Dranzer, take the hit and attack right back!"

Dranzer did just that and attacked Unicolyon and knocked the blade right out of the dish. The others, one by one, knocked their opponents out of the dish.

Makoto caught Dragoon,

"Once again, the MBB Evolution wins another one of their beybattles!" he said triumphantly.

"Dumb luck," said Dante.

"Hey, I've never battled a Majestic before, I challenge one of you!" said Tai taking out Strata Dragoon.

"Yeah, you go do that, Tai," said Rayna and looked around.

"Hey, where's Gou?" she asked and everyone else looked around and also noticed he was gone.

"Somebody should go look for him," Mark suggested.

"I'll do it, he is my brother after all," said Kaiya and crossed her arms walking out the backyard,

"I'll come too," said Rayna running after her.

"So, are we going to continue the party or not?" Mark asked turning to the others.

Gou was walking to nowhere until he found himself at the park where some kids are beybattling. Since they have beyblade dishes in the park, most kids are gathered at the ones that are having the beybattles.

He walked up to an empty one and launched Dragix into the dish for a little training. Then, out of no where, a white blade was shot into the dish and attacked Dragix. Gou called his blade back; the other blade was called back to its owner as well. A girl with red hair tied in two pigtails jumped down from a tree. Her hair was sticking out in different directions even though it's tied; she wore long white pants, a red tank tap with a white sleeveless vest with blue linings on. And of course, icy blue eyes.

"Gou Hiwatari?" she asked,

"…Who else would I be? Do I really look that different from the last time we met?" Gou asked.

"I want a rematch," she said and Gou smirked,

"Sure, it was fun kicking your butt in Russia, Tara," he said. (Pronounced Tar-Ra)

"We'll see who kicks whose butt this time," said Tara getting her blade in her launcher and Gou doing the same and then getting into position.

Gou-"3…"

Tara-"2…"

"1…Let it rip!" they shouted launching their blades.

"Wolborg go! Icicle assault!"

"Dodge 'em Dragix! Then attack!"

Kids started crowding around them now. Saying stuff like,

"Wow, Gou's beybattling!"

"I can't believe Tara's in Japan!"

"I can't decide who should win,"

"Their blades are so cool!"

"You've gotten weaker Gou," said Tara.

"I have not! But you have! Dragix! Dragon Phoenix Rage!"

Dragix attacked Wolborg straight on and knocked Wolborg out of the dish.

He called Dragix back as Tara picks her blade up.

"I'm still stronger," he says with a smirk as the kids cheered and stared in awe.

"Hn…"

"What's the matter? Wolborg got your tongue?" Gou teased with a grin.

"Huh…yeah, whatever you say," said Tara and walked up to him. Gou's face grew serious and crossed his arms (now he does look just like his dad).

Tara cupped his chin with her hand and turned it to one side then the other. Gou lets her because they both know that if Tara does anything she's not suppose to, she's dead…from his sister.

"You look just like your father when he was your age," said Tara and Gou hits her arm away so she lets go of his face,

"How would you know?" he asked angrily.

"My own father has posters of different teams when he was a younger blader, and I saw one person that I mistook as you until he corrected me. Of course, back in the Russia tournament, I really didn't' care who I facing so I even forgot your name until you defeated me," Tara explained.

"Well, don't bring that up, I may look like him but that doesn't mean I'm anything like him!" he said angrily still.

"Then who are you acting like now?" Tara smirked. Gou puts his arms back to his side and clenched his fists.

"Shut up,"

"I see you have a problem with your own father," said Tara.

"I said shut up!"

"Gou!"

Gou turned around and Tara looked behind him. Rayna was running up to him,

"Don't start something!" she said holding Gou. Kaiya walked up to Tara,

"What are you doing here?" she asked bluntly,

"Just having a beybattle with Gou," Tara answered coolly.

"I see, what did you say to get him angry?" Kaiya asked,

"Nothing, except how much he's like his father but I didn't know he had a problem with his old man," said Tara. Gou was about to lounge at her but Rayna held him back. Kaiya kept her cool,

"If that's all, then leave, because we don't have time for you," said Kaiya.

"Very well, but another reason why I'm here is that-"

"Leave!" Gou shouted.

"It's important, especially-"

"I don't want to hear anything from you, Tara! Get out of my sight!" Gou shouted even louder.

"Gou!" Rayna didn't like the way Kai was acting.

"Very well, but if you get into something bad, don't blame me," said Tara leaving.

"You could've let her finish her sentence," said Kaiya,

"I don't need to! If she compares me to my father like that I don't care if she's warning me about my death!"

SLAP!

"Grow up, Gou!" Kaiya scolded. Gou puts his hand on his face,

"I already have," he growled turning around and leaving.

"Who cares if they compare? You're the one with the problem!" Kaiya shouted after him.

"No, YOU ARE! You used to fun, Kaiya! I've always looked up to you! BUT YOU CHANGED! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU AND FATHER!" and he ran off.

"Gou!" Rayna called.

Kaiya looked down and growled a bit,

"Gou…" she said quietly.

Meanwhile in China:

"I'm telling you, it's this way!" Tyson pointed right,

"And I think it's this way!" Max pointed to the left looking at a map.

"Oh man! This is giving me a headache! I can't read Chinese!" Tyson exclaimed.

"Yeah, neither can I…but Kaida can, look Tyson," Max pointed down the street.

There was Kai and Kaida walking and seem to know where they were going.

"Yo Kai!" Tyson shouted.

"Kaida! Over here!" Max called. The two turned.

"Hey Tyson! Hi Maxie!" Kaida waved.

Kai just smiled and did a small wave. Max and Tyson ran up to them. Max and Tyson hugged Kaida and Kai just said he'll pass on the hug.

"What are you guys doing here?" Tyson asked,

"The same reason you are, Ray invited us," Kai answered.

"Great, now you two can help us find Ray. I still don't understand why Ray moved his entire restaurant!" Tyson complained.

"What Tyson mean is that we have a problem reading the Chinese characters and we can't understand anybody so we can't find his restaurant," said Max.

"No really, I don't understand why he moved it," said Tyson and everyone got a sweat drop.

"I see Tyson still has a small IQ," said Kai,

"And I see that you still like to say sarcastic things," said Tyson and the two gave each other a competitive look.

"And I see that you two are still rivals," said Max.

"Yeah," said Kaida,

"Did you notice how these two are rivals and their sons are best friends?" Max pointed out,

"Of course," Kaida answered as she watches Kai and Tyson talk about…something.

"Anyway, the Bai Hu Tzi restaurant is this way," Kaida pointed.

"I told you it was left," said Max to Tyson.

They got to this really big restaurant with a white tiger as the 'mascot' or the main symbol of this restaurant.

"Whoa, his restaurant grew a few stories!" Max exclaimed as everyone stared in awe.

"Actually, it grew two stories," said Kai.

"Hey, I always wanted to ask, what does bai hu tzi mean?" Tyson asked,

"White tiger," Kaida answered.

"Oh, I knew that," said Tyson and the four walked in.

Kaida had to explain that they're looking for Ray in Chinese so this guy led them to the very top and told them to go down the hallway, past all the people dining and into the door.

"Ray? Nee tzai ma?" Kaida asked looking around the room.

Ray popped his head from another room,

"Kaida! You guys! Nee how!" he said.

"Nee how," said Kaida,

"What does that mean?" Tyson asked,

"It mean hello in Mandarin," Ray answered.

After having a nice reunion, the five sat down at the table in Ray's own kitchen to have something to eat and saw that Kenny was already here.

"Glad you guys could find this place," said Ray.

"We had Kaida's help," said Max.

"I did say you should've come together," said Ray.

"Hey Tyson, where's Hilary?" Kenny asked,

"Back home, where else? Somebody's got to watch over Makoto, and Hiro can't do that because he's too busy working at the BBA," said Tyson sipping his drink.

"Speaking of our kids, that's the reason we're here right?" Kai asked,

"Yeah, and I have to thank you Tyson for letting our kids stay at your house," said Kaida with a smile.

"No problem!" said Tyson. Kai grew a vein,

"Kaida, is there something you didn't tell me?" he asked suspiciously.

Kaida grew a sweat drop completely forgot that she didn't tell Kai where she really left their kids at.

"Um…yeah. Kai, sweetie, honey, dear, I'm sorry I fibbed a little," she said innocently.

"You know that sweet-talking doesn't work on me anymore," said Kai.

"Hey, you can't blame me for trying….you've done that too you know? Many times when you try to bribe me," said Kaida with a smirk and Kai blushed.

"Don't bring that up in front of the others!" he exclaimed.

"Well I see this happy couple is getting along," said Max with a sweat drop along with everyone else.

"Ray, who else is suppose to be coming?" Kenny asked,

"Well, Daichi and Ai couldn't make it but Chris and Ulrich should be coming too," said Ray.

"I bet Daichi is still afraid of flying!" said Tyson.

"You didn't invite Tek did you?" Kai asked,

"No, you two would tear each other apart," said Ray.

"So true," said Max,

"Agreed," said Tyson.

"Smart move," said Kaida,

"Thank you so much," said Kai.

"No problem, besides, she'll tear my restaurant apart if that happens," said Ray.

Then they heard crashing and stuff breaking along with a few thumps and bumps.

"I can't understand Chinese! So shut up!" came a girl's voice. Then two guys ran into the room and closed the door. But the gang recognized the two as Chris and Ulrich. Chris hasn't changed much except of course, more bulky and grew a lot like everyone else. Ulrich still wore leather and chains and still kept his hair spiked up.

"Hey guys!" said Chris,

"Hi Chris, hi Ulrich," they all greeted.

Ulrich stood up and pushed against the door,

"I SWEAR! I DIDN'T INVITE HER, SHE FOUND OUT AND FOLLOWED US HER!" Ulrich shouted and snapped Chris out of his break who also stood up and push against the door.

"Oh no, it can't be," said Ray.

"Don't tell me," said Kai.

"Hey! It's Tek isn't it?" Max asked,

"Cool! Let her in!" said Tyson.

"(sigh) obviously, these two don't mind her at all," said Kenny.

"You know you can't hold that door forever," said Kaida.

"We can still try," said Chris.

"So how's Ai?" Kai asked Ulrich changing the subject before his nightmare comes in,

"Great," Ulrich answered,

"How's your band?" Tyson asked,

"Also great," said Ulrich.

"Have you noticed, the door has stopped being pounded on?" Kenny asked with a sweat drop.

The two stopped pushing and Kenny was right, no force was on the door.

Then knock was heard from the window.

"I'm pretty sure that's Tek," said Kaida.

Ray got up and opened his window and Tek fell in,

"Oh man! I didn't realize how tall three stories were! It's scary!" she said and stood up dusting herself off.

"How in the world did you get out there?" Max asked,

"I climbed," Tek answered.

Kai immediately folded his arms and acted serious.

"Hey! Ty! Maxie! Ray-Ray!-"

"Tek! What did I say about calling him that? Only I can call him Ray-Ray!" said Kaida with a vein.

"Oh yeah, sorry Kaida. Oh hey! Kaida! How are ya doing Chief? And LOVE DOVE!"

"Someone kill me now," Kai said quietly,

"I would if I didn't love you so much," said Kaida putting her hand on his shoulder knowing the pain Kai's going through.

"I would if you weren't my best friend," said Ray sitting back down.

Tek was hugging her long-time-no-see friends. Max and Tyson were happy to see Tek again. Ray, Kaida, and Kenny didn't mind. Chris and Ulrich were the ones that were with Tek in the first place. And then there's Kai going through a certain place with two L's. He puts his head on the table and tries to ignore Tek who he knows is coming for him soon.

"Oh Kaida it's so good to see you again!" said Tek giving Kaida a death hug,

"Yeah, same here, how's your life going?" Kaida asked knowing that Tek would answer that and go on and on so she might not get to Kai.

"Oh it's going great! Blah blah blah!"

Kai sat straight up again and whispered,

"Thanks,"

"Sure, we know Tek can talk a lot," Kaida whispered back. Chris and Ulrich sat down and waited for Tek to be done, who sat down while talking.

"And it's so great! But being a super model is so tiring sometimes," said Tek and took a deep breath and rested her mouth for a moment.

"Anyway, now that she's done, let's talk about how our kids won their third tournament," said Ray.

"Yeah, that's my boy, Makoto!" said Tyson proudly.

"You know that our kids got through this tournament as a team right?" Max reminded.

"Speaking of our kids! My kids should go live with yours!" Tek exclaimed out of no where.

"NNOOOOOOO!" Kai, Kaida, and Tyson shouted.

"We mean, maybe not so soon," Kaida answered quickly, saving them.

"Oh, okay," said Tek.

"Phew!" they all went.

"Anyway, another reason why we're here; please tell me you guys haven't heard about you know what and you know who," said Kenny.

"I don't believe that rumor, Boris is an old geezer by now to do anything dangerous," said Kai.

"Your grandfather was an old geezer and look at what damage he's done…to you," Tyson pointed out.

"…okay, fine, Tyson has a point for once," Kai admitted.

"Speaking of Love Dove, I missed you!" Tek exclaimed.

"I didn't…" Kai mumbled and slump back in his chair.

"Kai, can you please not sit like that?" Kaida asked and Kai sat back up again,

"Sorry," he said,

"Wow, he's so obedient…like a dog," said Chris and Ulrich snickered a bit. Kai grew a vein and tossed his leftover at the two and hit their targets right in their faces.

"They're cleaning it," said Kai.

"Just like the old days," said Max.

"Yeah, except the only one that hasn't change AT ALL after all these years is Tek," said Kaida.

"Yeah, at least Tyson got less dense just a bit," said Max.

"Ray opened a restaurant and is just a smart and wise as ever," said Kaida.

"Kaida got more into the housewife life," said Ray.

"Did not!" she argued.

"Max is never hyper anymore," said Kenny.

"Chris has turned into a bad boy," said Max.

"Hey! Don't just judge that! Oh, and Ulrich has gotten a band and a motorcycle (mumbles, 'lucky) and is a lot more nicer unless we're talking about Kai and Tek," said Chris and Tek smacks him for even talking about her behind her back.

"And Kai has opened up to all his friends," said Kaida.

"Everyone except Tek," Ulrich reminded.

"Yeah, he still acts like his teenage self whenever Tek is around," said Chris.

"Really? Hey Love Dove, show me how you act when I'm not around!" said Tek cheerfully.

"…yeah right, like I'm going to do that when you're right in front of me," said Kai giving her a glare.

After a little persuading of making Tek shut up and leave Kai alone, they went back to their original subject.

"I'm more worried about our son," said Kaida,

"Why? What's wrong?" Ray asked,

"Well, it's hard to say," said Kaida.

"I'm sure our kids will be fine," said Tyson.

"Even if the rumors are true, this is their test to prove themselves and solve their own problems. Not to mention raise their blading skills," said Kai,

"And what if it's life-threatening?" Kaida asked.

"…They'll pull through," said Kai.

"There's not much we can do, we don't have our blades anymore," Max reminded.

"And Kai's right, our kids have to handle their problems themselves, we did when we were their age as a team!" said Tyson.

"You know, I forgot why we're here," said Chris.

"We're suppose to announce that our kids are leaving their teams and joining together," Ulrich reminded.

"Oh yeah," said Chris.

"Oh yeah! And they're going to enter the next tournament!" said Tek.

"Then our kids our going to whoop yours!" Chris mocked.

"Not in a life-time, pal," said Tyson.

"Defeating our three-year champions? Try," said Max.

"Alright! We will!" said Tek.

"Hey I just realized something, where are we staying for the night?" Tyson asked and everyone did an anime fall.


That night at Makoto's house, Gou never came back. Kaiya woke up late at night and went to his room to see if he came back, but he wasn't there. Kaiya went to the backyard to think.

"Hey, what's wrong, Kaiya?" asked Makoto behind her.

"Gou's not back yet, I'm worried," she said.

"Gou's fine, he's stubborn but cunning. He's Gou, he'll be fine," said Makoto.

"Yeah, I guess you're right," said Kaiya.

"But tell you what, we'll round up the gang tomorrow and look for him if he's not back, okay? We can even ask Hiro if we can use a limo!" said Makoto with a grin.

"Alright, thanks, Mako," said Kaiya.

"Hey, Gou's my best friend; I'm worried too, now lets get some sleep,"

"Okay, I'll go to sleep in a few. I just need time alone to think," said Kaiya.

"Okay, night, Kaiya," said Makoto going back indoors.

"Good night…"

"I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU AND FATHER!"

"Gou…"

"Kaiya?"

"Yes?" Kaiya replied without turning to look as Rayna sat down next to her.

"Are you worried about Gou too?" Kaiya asked,

"Yes, very," said Rayna.

"Did Makoto tell you I was out here?" Kaiya asked as she gazed up at the stars.

"Yeah, and with some of the Majestics snoring, and Gou not being back, I couldn't sleep," said Rayna.

"…Maybe I shouldn't of had been so hard on him," said Kaiya.

"You're his sister; you were doing your job. But I do have one question though…"

"What?" Kaiya asked,

"What does Gou have against his father?"

"Hn…to be honest, I'm not sure myself," Kaiya replied.
