Ch. 5: Hidden Memories

After Kris finished running laps, she took a 5 minute break.

"Man, what a workout! But I have to admit it, that was fun!" Kris told herself.

The Bladebreakers looked at her in shock; eyes wide and minds racing. Kai was in more shock than the others.

Kris wiped the sweat of her face and came up with an idea.

"Hey, Kai. I challenge you to a beybattle!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yep! I haven't bladed in a long time but my Silver Phoenix could use the practice."

"All right. But don't cry if you lose."

"Don't worry. I won't."

Kris and Kai took their positions and launched their beyblades.

"Attack, Dranzer!"

"Let's do this, Silver Phoenix!"

Both beyblades clashed at each other, suddenly dust began to form a funnel cloud around both Kris and Kai.

Kai put his scarf over his mouth and nose and smirked.

'She's not half bad, for a beginner.' Kai thought.

"Good moves, Kai. But not good enough! Silver Phoenix! Silver Wind!"

"Dranzer, Blazing Gigs Tempest!"

Suddenly, before Silver Phoenix could attack, Kris felt a strong pulse over her body.

She fell to her knees and her face turned pale.

'What's happening? I don't feel well. Why do I feel so weak?' Kris thought.

Before she could figure out what was happening, Kris's blade flew out of the stadium and fell to the ground.

Kai's blade flew to him and he caught it.

Kris soon fell to the ground and was unconscious.

"Kris!"

Kai ran to Kris and saw that she was unconscious.

Tyson and the others ran to Kai and saw Kris in his arms.

"What happened to Kris?" Ray asked.

"I don't know. But she doesn't look so good. We better get back before she gets worse. Her breathing isn't normal and her pulse is slowing down."

While unconscious, Kris was having images in her head; images of her as a kid.

These images were actually forgotten memories of when she ran away from home when she was 5 years old.

-Kris's hidden memories-

Kris was sitting in a dark alley and a group of thugs came towards her. She got scared.

One of the thugs was about to grab her until a beyblade hit his hand. A little boy about her age was standing there while he caught his blade.

"Leave her alone!"

"Who the hell are you?" said one of the thugs.

"It's none of your business, now leave that girl alone!"

"Why don't you make us!"

"Hn. You asked for it."

Then the boy launched his blade.

"Attack, my bitbeast!"

Then the bitbeast came out of the blade, and before it could attack, the thugs ran away out of fear.

The bitbeast and the boy looked at Kris. She was saved and yet she was still scared.

"Don't worry. We won't hurt you. You're safe now."

Kris smiled and nodded.

"Who are you?"

"Just think of me as a friend. Mind if I take you home?"

"Thanks."

The boy walked towards her, reached out his hand and Kris took it.

"My name is Kris."

"My name is Kai. Let's go." he said while smiling.

She nodded.

-End of Kris's hidden memories-

Kris woke with a start, and looked at Kai, who was holding her.

"Hey. You had us scared. Are you alright?" Kai asked.

He showed her a warm smile, which was very familiar to her.

Kris nodded.

"Yeah. I'm fine."

Kris got up slowly, feeling dizzy and confused.

"Are sure you're okay?" Kai asked again.

"Y, yeah. I think we should head back. It's getting late." Kris suggested.

Kai was concerned for Kris; first she was unconscious and now she says she's okay?

Even though Kai wanted to say something, he didn't and just followed her, and so did the others.
