"What's up?" Ray asked as he and the rest of the White Tigers walked along the path to the head elder's place. He and Lee had forgiven Kevin for interrupting their Beybattle in their curiosity.
The advisor merely shook his head in answer to Ray's question, and the White Tigers looked at each other in confusion.
Since it was already around sunset, and the White Tigers had been practicing near the borders of the village, it had already turned dark by the time they reached their destination.
All five children stood in the back of the room, until the elder called Ray forward. He looked nervously back at his friends and cautiously stepped forward.
"I have something for you, Ray" Lee and Mariah's grandfather said, taking out a box. "What I have here is a bit that contains an ancient power"
Ray stepped forward eagerly, and then saw exactly which bit it was. Driger.
Ray heard a sharp gasp from behind him. He glanced back at Lee sadly. Driger was the most important Bit in the village, and was passed down by the holder to the next generation's person that was most worthy of its power. Even so, it had actually been passed down through Lee's family over the years.
Lee seemed to realize that Ray knew of his disappointment, so he quickly fixed his expression and walked up to Ray.
He outstretched his arm and Ray caught it midair, their trademark sign of friendship. Mariah, Kevin, and Gary looked at each other and all cheered.
And so from that moment on, Driger was Ray's. And none of his teammates cared in the least.
Author's Notes: Aww, Lee's so nice! Now you guys see what I mean, and yes, they'll be going through their adventures still with Ray having Driger. Le me bring you up to date on the ages:
Ray: 9
Lee: 8 (Almost nine)
Mariah: 7
Gary: 10
Kevin: 5
Review, and I would like to dedicate this chapter to HikarioftheMoon (did I spell that right?), who inspired me to put up another chapter with her kind review. Thanks all, and Driger plushies to reviewers! Oh, and no, I haven't gotten my report card yet.
