Heya readers. I want to thank those very few people who reviewed good
reviews about my story and not about damn paragraphs. OK if you still don't
get the picture I'll just say that I didn't know that Fanfiction squished
up all the writing, cos if you write a speech line and then press ENTER to
write the next speaking line I didn't know that Fanfiction squished them
together and you had to press ENTER twice to write the next speaking line
and whatever, so I'll try and remember to add in those extra blank (Hehehe
Blank) spaces in my story and if I forget then live with it and if you
wanna review about paragraphs AND whether you like Mariah and you want me
to stop dissing her then you better think twice before clicking that
'submit review' icon! OK OK for those people who like Mariah people have
their own opinions and my opinion is that she's way too annoying and pinky
and I think the artists over did the CAT-LIKE look on the White Tigers.
Anyway I'll stop mentioning Mariah for all you Mariah fans out there k?
Oh yeah by the way, I apologise that I wrote some things down that didn't make sense, so uh. sorry!
Oh yeah. Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade but I do own this story, Lan and other things that are going to be happening in the story and I also own me and..
Kai: Get on with it!
Kai's Blue Angel: Shut it Mr. Rude or I'll change your clothes to make them look like that odd Beyblader Luiz that dancing yellow guy and make you do the Macarena around a bungalow 500000 times! If you don't watch that mouth of yours and this is my Fanfiction so I can make you do whatever I want but I wont cos it'll ruin the story.
Kai: You just don't have the guts.
Kai's Blue Angel: THAT'S IT! (KBA performs the threat she threatened at Kai and he was now dancing around like an idiot. (Sorry, I just had to do that.. I'm bored. What can I say?) Um yeah and I'm wasting time and uh yeah. By the way, I'm cheered up now so my insanity I typed in the last chapter can be ignored, I was just in a bad mood and very upset with some Math equations. And a certain man (cough DAD cough!) Any way I wont go into that. I'm just thick and my dad was getting mad at me because of that. Oh well, I just have even harder things to do now and I'm doing this instead of homework. um never mind..
On with the cheap, rubbish, too much detailed that's why I don't like it, bad, dumb Fanfiction. But for those who like it YAY!!!! ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ Wow, 12 reviews, I'm not a hopeless case.. But most of them were about paragraphs.... Grrrr. hmmm actually I wonder if 12 reviews is good for only 4 chapters written so far. hmmm. is it good or bad???? Piggy Ho Ho only has 1 chapter and 22+ reviews but she already wrote a master piece and now she's started the sequel so I guess that's why she has so many reviews co of her fans read her last one and now are happy (like me) she wrote the sequel. Yay. great Cardcaptors story! Um any way on with the rubbish Beyblade story!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Morning had come and Kai awoke slowly. He opened his eyes and when his vision came to focus he saw the attractive face of Lan sleeping beside him. Kai quickly turned around but not so quickly that he would wake Lan up, but he twisted around to see if he was the first one to wake up. He was to Kai's relief. Kai had suspected that he would be the first to wake up so that he could get out of bed quickly before any one else so it wouldn't look like him and Lan had slept in the same bed. He knew he was being a little unworthy and untruthful but he didn't give a damn about that, he just didn't want to let the others know about his relationship with Lan. He'd get teased for life, Kai didn't really care if he got teased come to think of it, but he didn't know if Lan would mind.
Kai got out of bed carefully so that he wouldn't wake up Lan and made his way to the bathroom. He paused halfway and retraced his steps back to the bed to check on Lan. He knelt down by the bed and took a moment to look into her face. He gently caressed her hair and cheek then gave her a small, very small peck on the forehead. He then stood up and then made his way to the bathroom with ought fail.
When Kai unlocked the door and came out of the bathroom he saw that Lan was awake and she was sitting upright on the bed with the quilt around her and she was staring at her feet being covered by the blanket. When she heard the door open she looked up at Kai and gave him a small smile, climbed off the bed, walked towards Kai and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Half of Kai was thinking of hugging her back, slightly, and the other half was thinking of gently pushing her off and shoving her into the bathroom but he couldn't decide so he just stood there not doing anything.
Kai soon realized that Lan was starting to doze off on his shoulder while still standing up.
[How does she do that?] Kai wondered.
He gently shook her awake and then gave her a slight push towards the bathroom. She was still rather drowsy.
Kai started making his bed and Lan's to make it look as if they had both slept in separate beds and had already tidied them up. Kai hoped the others wouldn't suspect a thing, unless one of them decided to go for a midnight stroll to the bathroom and saw them there but Kai hoped that when they saw two bodies in a bed they would be too tired to understand what they could have been looking at which could have been something as simple as their own hand.
Kai then started to go and wake Ray up, Ray always being the safest person to wake up as he didn't punch or scream or complain.
Just as Lan came out of the bathroom Max and Ray were already up. As Ray and Lan passed each other as Ray made his way to the bathroom they gave each other a faint smile but they were both sort of aimed a bit wrong, Lan smiled at the floor and Ray smiled at the wall. Lan was still pretty tired since the night before. [How can Kai always be the first one up and still not look so knackered?]
As Lan started to brush her hair she watched Kai wake Kenny up and then go back to Max and wake him up again and again since he kept on going back to sleep.
When Kai managed to get Kenny awake he just completely ignored Tyson, Lan didn't think that Kai even bothered to think about waking Tyson up. [He's so rude, oh well]. Instead of waking Tyson up Kai walked over to the wall and leant on it staring at his Beyblade thinking hard.
As Lan started pulling her bandana on her head she suddenly realized she had been trying to pull on Ray's red bandana instead of her own black one. She threw Ray's one onto his bed and then started putting on her own. [Man, I must be drunk, not sleepy].
Soon everyone was awake including Tyson as Max, Kenny and Lan poked him awake. Lan didn't care about waking him up; she just wanted to poke him. Hard. So soon the Beybladers, Lan, Mr. Dickinson and Tyson's Grandpa were on the BBA coach to take them to the European Tournament held in London in the Royal Stadium, (Hey I couldn't think of anything, there was the sea side or sea foam stadium what ever it's called and the glitter dome, I tried to think something for England and the only thing I'm bothered to think of is the Royal Stadium so hush.)
"So here's the plan I thought of last night." Said the Chief. "Tyson's going up first, then Max and then Ray, is that all right with you guys?"
The others nodded.
"Now Max. Here's your blade, I fixed your defence ring so it'll have more 'bounce' to it so that when your opponent tries to attack, three-quarters of the damage it would usually do to Draciel will bounce right back hitting your opponent. Three-quarters was the most I was able to do with ought covering your blade with wool."
"Hey, hey, hey mister. There you go again saying all that 'I' stuff, don't forget, who was the bit-beast trapped inside a computer who was able to prove that your idea would work? Was it I? Or was it you? Gee let's think. I do believe it was I. It's times like these I wonder if I should just switch myself off whenever you start talking so I don't need to listen to all you being so self-absorbed, I need some credit too you know." Dizzi said. (It's a bit obvious it was her duuh.)
"Oh relax Dizzi, when I say 'I' you know you're included as well and I know you do do a lot of work."
"Humph. Well why didn't you say that in the first place? A Gal needs to be appreciated you know."
"I know Dizzi. Don't worry." Kenny handed Max's new blade to him.
"Wow thanks Chief! It looks so cool! You're always doing so much, man you're a genius!"
"Uh hum!" Dizzi said, "Sure, always give all the praise and glory to Kenny and none too the poor bit-beast inside a computer, well I don't need to take any of this." And she turned herself off.
"I hate it when Dizzi goes in a big sulk like this. Oh well, she'll come through once her circuits have cooled down." Muttered Kenny shutting the lid of his talking computer. Max laughed.
"Hey Tyson, since you're going up first I just want to give you a few pointers." Kenny said turning to Tyson.
"Sure Chief, throw them at me." Said Tyson putting his arms behind his head.
"Now I don't want to insult you or anything Tyson, but I just want you to be careful and keep a straight head, don't get mad when things aren't going your way, make sure your hot-headed-ness doesn't get in your way of your Beyblading, it's very important."
"Geez Kenny! Gimme a break! I'll be OK besides, things will go my way and I'll be ruler of the bey-stadiuuum!!" Said Tyson enthusiastically.
"Tyson, please be serious!" Kenny said desperately.
"Tyson ma-man! The Chief is right! You gotta keep cool and play the game right and not get that bogus temper of yours in the way of ya groovin'!" Butted in Tyson's Grandpa with his weird way of talking. "Tyson. You just gotta keep calm and think ahead, remember what I taught you! Don't get red and play ya cards right then your opponent will be like a fish outta water. Allll WASHED up and outta the bowl! Hah-hah-hah!!! You get me little dude?"
"Um. Kinda. OK then I'll be careful. I'll do whatever it takes to make you act your age grandpa!" Said Tyson, eyes shimmering wishing that his grandfather were normal like other grandfathers.
[Tyson's temper's not the only thing that he needs to be careful about, he better keep his pride under control as well or we're doomed, over- confidence never gets people anywhere. I should know]. Kai thought to himself.
Kai was sitting next to Lan as usual at the very beck of the coach furthest away from everyone else who preferred to sit at the front. Usually Lan would just stare out the window looking at the scenery rushed past, but this time all she was thinking of was, was whether or not she should ask Kai that question that was on her mind since they battled the All-Stars. She didn't know whether to ask Kai, she thought about all the data the All- Stars had collected on Ray, Max and Tyson but none on Kai, as he was too powerful for them to measure on their computers. Lan was thinking that they couldn't always count on Kai, but then again they could, Lan just wanted to be some help to the team but she didn't know if asking Kai her question would help their team or just waste Kai's time.
As Lan absent-mindedly stared out the window wondering if she actually wanted to bother with the consequences after she asked the question and Kai answered. Lan could guess his answer would probably be 'yes' but she wasn't certain and she didn't know if she wanted to go through with it herself. She thought of it over and over and over again and there was always two reasonable sides that were positive and negative. Lan closed her eyes in frustration. She couldn't think and she didn't know what would happen in the future, the best thing she could do was to choose one option and just see what it would lead to.
She looked at Kai sitting next to her and wondered if she did ask him and he did say yes, Lan didn't know if she wanted to go through with all that hustle, the only thing she was sure about was that she wanted to do it with Kai.
Alone.
And with ought the others knowing about it until she was ready.
"ALRIGHT AND WELCOME TO THE FIRST PART OF THE BEYBLADING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS! THE EUROPEAN TOURNAMEENT!!!!!!!!! I AM YOUR HOST D.J. JAZZMAN AND I AM TOTALLY PHSYKED (pronounced syked, cant spell it properly) FOR THIS TOURNAMENT!" D.J. Jazzman the man who commentates the matches was wearing a mixture of different clothing representing all the countries that were in Europe and instead of his usual blue bandana he wore around his head a bandana with all the flags belonging to the countries in Europe. He had a French burette set jauntily on his head over his bandana, a maraca in his hand that was actually a microphone even though he already had a head set with a mini microphone, the maraca one was just to make the volume even louder and he had other sorts of clothing on, but still managed to remain stylish, usually you would think he would look like a fool but just try to imagine him not looking like an idiot, I'm just not really bothered to describe any clothing right now, sorry.
The Bladebreakers and co. had reached the Royal Stadium and were now just about to battle.
"I'D LIKE TO GIVE A BIG WELCOME TO THE BLADEBREAKERS! WINNERS OF THE ASIAN AND AMERICAN TOURNAMENT! THEY'RE A RED HOT TEAM AND READY FOR ACTION WITH THEIR TEAM LEADER KAI!"
The spotlight shined onto Kai, Max, Ray and Tyson presenting the Bladebreakers while Mr. Dickinson and Mr. Granger (Tyson's grandfather) sat in the audience while Kenny and Lan sat at the benches behind the Beystadium.
"THE BLADEBREAKERS WILL BE GOING AGAINST THE RUNNER BEAN RUSH TEAM! THEY'RE KNOWN TO BE SUPER FAST AND UNDEFEATED!"
Over on the opposite side of the Bladebreakers were three boys there dressed in Spanish clothing and they all looked alike, the Bladebreakers assumed they were triplets.
"Good day, I'm Brad Fest (I think that's his surname, I couldn't hear them very well, someone review me with their names please! Thank you!) And this is my comrade A.J. Topper (again, I don't know! It sounded like Topper! By the way, for those who don't know whom I'm talking about, A.J. and Brad are the other two commentators apart from D.J. Jazzman.)
Brad: Tyson's up for this first round, Tyson's no stranger when it comes to Beyblading, he might look like he's in trouble but then you know he can always count on his bit-beast Dragoon to help him out with his breath- taking Phantom Hurricane Attack (when I saw the stats thing on Tyson I noticed he had changed the name of his blade and I think it was phantom hurricane but I'm not sure, please correct me if I'm wrong but don't do it rudely).
A.J: And now lets take a look at his opponent! Going against Tyson is Sandy (hey, I don't know any Spanish names alright? You know I think there actually was a beyblader called Sandy, I think there was but I cant remember. oopps. oh well, it doesn't matter you can have the same name twice!) By looking at his stats he counts on his Beyblade to perform the brain teasing Bean Beam to help him out when things look like they're going down.
Sandy was a blonde tanned teen dressed in Spanish clothing and um sorry, I don't know what Spanish people wear, I only learn French and German in school, don't know anything about Spain apart from it's part of Europe and it's next to France and the capital of Spain is Madrid. Wow, I know so much ¬_¬;
Brad: Now why don't we look at the trick dish they'd be playing in today A.J.
A.J: Why not? The boys are gonna have to find their round around this special dish! It's designed to look exactly like the city Madrid so the boys are going to find it tough to whiz through those buildings, although it is like another challenge Tyson had to face in the American Tournament when he had to blade around New York City! This dish is called Madrid Mayhem, and believe it or not for those who saw the American Tournament, this dish is statistically harder than New York with bonus tricks and surprises!
"Tricks or no tricks, this is gonna be a synch!" Tyson exclaimed.
[Great, he's becoming over-confident, this is not good, Tyson's going to lose his concentration!] Kenny thought in his head gripping the sides of his seat.
"Don't think you'll be able to beat me chubby! My blood says Spain all over it pal so I know all the tricks and surprises in this dish!" Sandy said with a smug look on his face.
"Don't count on it Sand man. I'm prepared to win." Tyson answered back.
"PLAYERS AT YOUR MARKS!" Cried out Jazzman. "AND 3.2.1. LET IT RIIIIIIP!!!!"
"YAHHH!" Yelled out Sandy.
"Let it RIP!" Tyson cried out.
"You're going down Sandy! Dragoon Phantom Hurricane ATTACK!"
Brad: And Tyson wastes no time in unleashing his hard-hitting Bit-beast Dragoon.
Dragoon rushes towards Sandy's Beyblade but then Sandy's blade suddenly turned into a bright light and then whizzed away at the speed of light dodging Tyson's attack.
"Wha. What? What just happened?" Tyson stared at the dish bemused then realized Dragoon was just about to smash into a Spanish house, "DRAGOON TURN! Whew, that was a close one."
"Dizzi, upload the data on Sandy's blade." Kenny said.
"I'm on it Chief. OK Sandy's blade gathers up a lot of energy when his opponent is about to make a major attack, because of all it's power and gathered up speed it glows and then dodges away to the other side of the dish in under two seconds and his blade looks like a beam of light as it moves, hence the beam part in it's name, I don't understand the bean part though, maybe he just added it in because he has a favour for beans. You have to tell Tyson, Kenny, that full head on attacks wont work against Speedy Sandy here!"
"Thanks Dizzi! Wait, there is a way he can avoid this though can't he? I mean Sandy's blade doesn't have enough energy to perform the dodging through ought the entire match can he? His dodging has to be limited."
"Correct Chief, but Sandy knows that, Sandy doesn't use his Bean Beam attack just to dodge, he attacks as well, the speed also contains great power so if that fast and powerful attack hits Tyson, all I have to say is Tyson's going bye-bye unless we think of something quick before Sandy attacks." Dizzi said.
"Right, hopefully that wont be too hard just as long as Tyson listens and does what he's been told to do. Tyson!" Kenny cried.
"Er. Yeah Chief?" Tyson turned around to look at Kenny.
"Tyson, when Sandy performs his Bean Beam dodging, he loses a huge amount of energy in the process, all you need to do is stay one step ahead of him and make sure you don't get hit or you're doomed. Just keep on attacking him!"
"But then I'd just miss him Chief cos of his stupid glowy dodge!"
"Tyson listen to me! When you attack head on, he dodges with the Bean Beam and gets away safely but then wastes energy, that's why he'll attack you VERY soon so you need to delay his attack by attacking him so much he uses up his energy by dodging and when he's weak attack him and victory is yours!"
"Oh. I get it. Thanks Chief!"
"There you lot go again, thanking the human and not the Bit-beast." Dizzi muttered.
"Dragon Attack!" Cried Tyson.
"You think that your attack's going to work? Think again! Bean Beam dodge!"
"Come on Dragoon attack him again full on! You can do it!"
"Oh no! I'm starting to lose energy!"
Brad: Uh oh, looks like Sandy's starting to wobble.
"Quick! Bean Beam Attack!" Sandy yelled he was becoming desperate.
"Quick Dragoon! Before he powers up! Dragoon Attack!"
Dragoon lit up and then spun wildly at Sandy's blade breaking a few houses that came in its way and then a blade whizzed out of the stadium.
"NOOOOOO!!!!!" Sandy cried.
"And Tyson is the winner of the first round!"
"YEAH! I am the BEST!" Cried Tyson. "Oh er. hey, that was a great match, you actually got me worried there Sandy."
"What? Oh right, yeah. You were good Tyson. I guess I need to think of a better strategy, but it never failed before." And the two shook hands.
"Thanks Chief! And. er Dizzi. I never could have done it with ought you!"
"Yes Tyson. Just remember to use your head next time so I don't have to repeat my self." Kenny muttered.
"Sure thing Chief!"
"Hey Tyson! You were great!" Said Max clapping Tyson on the back looking cheerful as ever.
"Yeah Tyson you smashed that guy!" Exclaimed Ray.
"Humph." (Guess who).
"You're up next Max. Win one for the team." Kenny said.
"Sure thing Chief!" Max waved as he made his way to the stadium.
A.J: Now lets take a look at the all-round cool rookie Max Tate! He is no push over when it comes to Battling with his Iron (something, damn I cant remember.) Defence tactics! He may look gentle and cheerful but when things become serious, he's the king of the board!
Brad: Uh that's Stadium A.J.
A.J. Oh. err right.
Brad: So lets look at Max's opponent Randy, the only thing we know is that he uses his Jumping Bean Attack to help him win and that. err. we don't really know much about this guy as he likes to keep to himself and blade like a king.
A guy who looked like Sandy but dressed in brown and had a dark shadow over his face stepped up to the stadium. The shadow being cast over his face was the big dark hat he was wearing on his dark blonde-brown hair.
[Wow, this guy looks serious] Max thought.
"Players at your marks! And THREE. TWO.ONE. LET IT RIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Screamed Jazzman.
"Jumping Bean Attack!"
Brad: Wow, that was quick.
A.J: This match is OV-UR!
"What? How, how can that be? I barely had a chance."
"No-body can defeat my Jumping Bean Attack, it's super fast and comes at you with the Element of Surprise on its Attack Ring." Randy suddenly said with a dark evil sounding voice. "Tough luck kid." And with that he walked away back to his seat, his clock billowing bout behind him.
"Uh." Max was too stunned to think. He bent down and picked up his Beyblade, Draciel glowed brightly as Max stared sadly.
"Max." Kai's stern voice sounded.
"Um. Yeah?"
"Randy's Attack is like mine, he attacks quickly to get the match over and done with. If this same type of thing happens next time, just remember to do your Iron Defence manoeuvre as quickly as possible, in fact, do that in every one of your matches. You should have been aware of that Max, you disappoint me."
"Gee Kai leave Max alone." Tyson said.
"No Tyson. Kai's right, I should have done that, Kai's just trying to make me a better Beyblader." Max muttered returning to his seat. "Go on Ray, you gotta do this."
"I'm there Max, don't worry." Ray said getting up smiling at Max reassuringly.
"You better do it Ray, or we'll be out of the tournament on out first battle, how degrading." Kenny said.
"And if he doesn't do it, we can always just. uh. maybe I shouldn't say." Dizzi said.
"Good Luck Ray." Lan simply said. Lan never talked much when the Bladebreakers were battling; she just sat there with Kai hoping that they'd win the match. Thinking back and looking at the others, she really was starting to think about asking Kai that question.
"Gee. Thanks Lan!" Ray answered giving a small wave.
A.J: WOWZA! Now lets look at this last and tie-breaking battle! We have Ray here who's an all time charmer with the females and is heavy with his blade Drigger! And lets take a look at his opponent.
Brad: Ray's going to have to go against the team captain of the all time amazing Runner Bean Rush Team! He's also sweet with the ladies and is known to be undefeated! Dandy's his name and He uses his powerful and threatening Le Chubracabra (ok I can't spell it, it's that thing that eats goats. Spanish mythical beast, I can't spell, someone help me! I t was in the cartoon Jacky Chan whoever's heard of it, I don't really watch Jacky Chan cos I don't have Fox Kids. Un- happy) Attack!
"PLAYERS AT YOUR MARKS! AND THREE.. TWO.. ONE.. LET IT RIIIP!"
"Music Plays" (By the way, I might not get this right, cos I cant hear them, I can thank Jolly for the lyrics and if she got them wrong. never mind and oh yeah, there are some bits I don't know so bear with me)
'Picking up speed running out of time,
Going head to head that's the way of life,
Gotta fall down, street crowd.
To get back up again.
Lets BEYBLADE!'
"If you think you're going to win like your team mate, you're wrong! I'm gonna make you crash and burn RayMOND!" Dandy yelled out over the song.
"Think again Dandy Mandy! Cos you're going DOWN!" Ray yelled back.
"Hey my sister's called Mandy! And we're going to win this tournament! I'm gonna beat you just like Randy beat your partner!"
{Ray sweat drops}
[His sister is called Mandy? What were their parents thinking?]
Back at the stands Max sits there guiltily with a glum look upon his usually happy face.
"Drigger TIGER CLAW ATTACK! NO!" Ray was about to attack Dandy but he found that Dandy had led him into a trap and Ray almost fell down a small pit in the ground big enough for a Beyblade. Dandy had made a super - speedy U - Turn hoping to make Ray fall into the hole, luckily Ray managed to swerve away just in time. "Why you little." Ray cursed, (not swearing by the way).
"Hah hah hah! Still thin you're safe?" Yelled Dandy, "Le Chubracabra Attack!"
{Beyblade Theme song music still playing, by the way I REALLY don't know this, I'm just improvising and writing down what it sounds like, so sorry if I get it wrong cos I don't know}
'Spinning it out at the speed of sound,
Gotta rip it up gotta bet it down,
Gotta beat with a bang,
Lock gang,
It's the one that's gonna win!
Let's Beyblade!
Music'
"Drigger dodge!"
But it was too late, Ray's Drigger was hit and it went flying into the air.
"NO!"
"Hahahahahahahahahaaaaa!" Dandy laughed cruelly. "Say goodbye Ray!"
"NO! Drigger!"
Lan quickly gripped the edge of her seat in desperation, [no! Ray can't lose now!]
The Bladebreakers breathed again when Drigger landed miraculously in the dish, it was a little wobbly though, it was down slightly but it still wasn't out.
"WOW! One more hit for Ray and the final score goes to the Runner Bean Rush team!" Jazzman yelled out getting excited.
"Uh oh Kenny"
"What Dizzi?"
"Well, I loaded the info about Dandy's Chubracabra attack and you know that's the thing that eats goats?"
"Yes Dizzi, and we don't have the time to re - learn ancient myths, what do you have?"
"Well, his blade is like a replica of a Chubracabra and Ray's just a weak little goat just waiting to get eaten if he doesn't think of something soon."
{A Little movie clip of Dandy's Blade representing a Chubracabra was chasing a helpless lonely goat, which represented Ray's Blade.}
"Now as his blade is like a Chubracabra, it acts like one, its wild, ferocious, and powerful and like everything else, it has a weakness but we're going to have to find that weakness."
"Do you know what that weakness is Dizzi?" Tyson said.
"Well, no, but lets think, the myth of a Chubracabra, what's its weaknesses?"
"Um. I heard that when the sun rises up, the Chubracabra goes back to normal, uh, does that mean that Ray's going to have to shine a torch light on it?" Tyson said.
"Tyson, please use your brain. This is serious."
"Gee, sorry Chief." Tyson answered scratching his head. "Uh. I can't think."
"Well, as Dandy's Blade isn't a complete Chubracabra, we can still beat it without the use of a torch light. The best thing I can think of so far is getting Drigger to become as powerful as ever to make a full head on attack and knock Dandy out of the dish. But there has to be a catch to that." Dizzi started to say.
"So what do we do Dizzi?" Max said.
"Actually, Tyson did give me an idea, if Ray has enough power to wear out Dandy's Blade then the spirit of the Chubracabra will get worn out and become normal and tame, so all Ray needs to do is knock him out of the dish."
"Kinda like what I did in my match." Tyson said smugly.
"Yes Tyson, like you did in your match." Dizzi said in a rude mocking tone.
"Let's BEYBLADE! BEYBLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADE!"
"Music continues"
Dandy was getting enthusiastic,
"Yeah! Come on my friend! Lets finish this amigo!" Dandy punched the air. (I think amigo means friend or something but I don't know Spanish as I already told you).
"Grrrr, I cant let this guy beat me!" Ray was starting to sweat in a panicky way [Come on Ray! Pull yourself together! Think, THINK!]
"Ray! You need to get as much power as possible, attack and then run! Then surprise him! You got your Drigger to move super - fast before, do it now! Now is the time! NOW!" Kenny yelled to Ray. [This is a pathetic idea but it's the best we've got, I hope the other matches aren't this hard..] Kenny thought to himself.
"Uh. thanks Chief! Tiger Claw attack!"
Music
LETS BEYBLADE!!!!!
Ray pulled off Kenny's ideas but it didn't work.
"Come on!" Ray muttered. "I've got it! Drigger! Hide yourself!"
"Hey, where did you go?" Dandy swivelled his head around looking for Ray. "Ahh!" He just rarely missed smashing into a small wall not paying attention to his own blade too busy trying to find Ray's.
"I'm right behind you! TIGER CLAW!"
And Dandy's blade landed with a chink on the floor while Ray's was still spinning smoothly in the same spot where Dandy was before he got shot out of the dish.
"And. Well that was an interesting turn of an event, the winner is RAY!" Jazzman yelled through the microphone. A whole load of fans and Ray fans cheered loudly while the Runner Bean Rush team's fans just sat still too stunned to do anything.
Dandy's eyes were popping out in shock, because of his loss.
"Wha? How did you? I don't understand!" Dandy was stunned and seemed to be paralysed, his team mates also sat there looking stunned, angry and disappointed.
"Like some ancient and mythical beasts, the Chubracabra is not one of the most intelligent, just use the element of surprise and I've got you cornered. But Dandy." Ray stuck out his hand. "That was a fantastic battle, I was actually starting to get scared. You and your team are an excellent Beyblading team, but I'm glad we were able to fight you, I had a great time!" Ray said politely.
"Dandy stared at Rays out stretched hand for a while, then smiled and shook his hand. "As always, the better team won in the end, it was a good match Ray. Thanks." He turned his back and walked away with Sandy and Randy. "I want a re-match one day Ray, Just you and me, by then, you'll be the loser." He turned his head to look at Ray, smiled and winked, releasing all the tension between the two of them. Ray smiled gratefully knowing that Dandy was a good person before being trampled on the ground by Max and Tyson cheering him on saying how great he was and that was such a cool nail- biting battle.
Lan also walked towards Ray and patted on the back looking cheerful and happy smiling at him, but not being as enthusiastic as the others.
Lan looked back and saw that Kai had disappeared from his seat. [Huh? Where'd he go?]
After the Bladebreakers and Lan heard the announcement saying that they would play again in the next hour, they set off to look for Kai. They guessed that Kai had gone to the other stadium where the Blade Sharks would be playing next, they assumed right as Kai was sitting in the audience, stern looking and arms folded.
The Bladebreakers and Lan shuffled through the rest of the audience to accompany him to watch how well the Blade Sharks would do.
{By the way may I point out that, have any of you noticed the mistakes they did in Beyblade? I mean, in the Asian Tournament, they said that The White Tigers were playing at the same time as the Bladebreakers and the went to go see how they were doing, D.J. Jazzman was commentating the Bladebreakers match and when they went over to the next stadium, he was commentating the White Tigers' match so how was he able to be commentating at 2 places at once? Tut tut tut. Anyway}
When the match had started and Jazzman was commentating after a small interval to rest their voices. Stuart was blading first and surprisingly; he had won in a second.
"Kai, I thought you said he was the weakest of the group?" Lan whispered.
"He was. I guess he's improved a hell-lot. Hmmm.. He wasn't the weakest, he was just the weakest out of me, Vincent and (uh, someone. Else.I don't know all their names!) Well. Maybe except Carlos, he was the weakest. Stuart had never lost a match before, why is Carlos their leader?" Kai became lost in his thoughts and concentration again. Lan looked at him worriedly then looked back at the match.
Vincent was up next, he got hit a couple of times but it didn't look as if his opponents attacking as doing any damage soon his battle was over too making it 2 - 0 to the Blade Sharks.
Carlos. His match was quickest. The blade Sharks won 3 to nothing as easy as that. Kai couldn't understand how they had now become so good under Carlos's training. Frustration ran up all over Kai's body and was only calmed went Lan leaned her head on his shoulder in a comforting way. Kai was so glad Lan was with him; she was the only person he could talk to. But she seemed to be acting a little strange lately, he didn't know why. The Bladebreakers weren't going to battle the Blade Sharks that day, or the next. It now looked as if the two teams would meet in the finals. As long as the Bladebreakers held up their winning streak and won the Beyblading World Championships. But they would have to go through the Blade Sharks and many more tough opponents along the way.
After an hour had passed the Bladebreakers won 3 - 0, which lead them another step closer, their next match would be tomorrow.
As their opponents were becoming more strong and powerful by every match they played and won, Lan was really thinking of asking Kai her question. Especially after the Blade Sharks' battle, she now was certain. She wanted to ask Kai now more than ever. But could she get her tongue around it?
When they were back at the hotel, Lan grabbed Kai's arm and led him to a private, quiet corner.
"Kai.?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hah hahahahaha Cliffhanger. Ok, by the way, the question is actually a little sad. But wait till the next chappie to find out what it is! It's actually not really that sad if you really think about it and re-read about how Lan had felt before once you've found out what the question is and think about Lan carefully and what I mentioned about her. It's not that sad and stupid really to put a cliff-hanger, ok maybe it is, but I don't think it is, it's a big decision for Lan's character and especially by asking Mr. Grumpy.
Oh well, by the way soz it took so long to update, busy with annoying hmwrk!
Remember to R/R! Nicely! See ya!
/*KBA*\
Oh yeah by the way, I apologise that I wrote some things down that didn't make sense, so uh. sorry!
Oh yeah. Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade but I do own this story, Lan and other things that are going to be happening in the story and I also own me and..
Kai: Get on with it!
Kai's Blue Angel: Shut it Mr. Rude or I'll change your clothes to make them look like that odd Beyblader Luiz that dancing yellow guy and make you do the Macarena around a bungalow 500000 times! If you don't watch that mouth of yours and this is my Fanfiction so I can make you do whatever I want but I wont cos it'll ruin the story.
Kai: You just don't have the guts.
Kai's Blue Angel: THAT'S IT! (KBA performs the threat she threatened at Kai and he was now dancing around like an idiot. (Sorry, I just had to do that.. I'm bored. What can I say?) Um yeah and I'm wasting time and uh yeah. By the way, I'm cheered up now so my insanity I typed in the last chapter can be ignored, I was just in a bad mood and very upset with some Math equations. And a certain man (cough DAD cough!) Any way I wont go into that. I'm just thick and my dad was getting mad at me because of that. Oh well, I just have even harder things to do now and I'm doing this instead of homework. um never mind..
On with the cheap, rubbish, too much detailed that's why I don't like it, bad, dumb Fanfiction. But for those who like it YAY!!!! ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ Wow, 12 reviews, I'm not a hopeless case.. But most of them were about paragraphs.... Grrrr. hmmm actually I wonder if 12 reviews is good for only 4 chapters written so far. hmmm. is it good or bad???? Piggy Ho Ho only has 1 chapter and 22+ reviews but she already wrote a master piece and now she's started the sequel so I guess that's why she has so many reviews co of her fans read her last one and now are happy (like me) she wrote the sequel. Yay. great Cardcaptors story! Um any way on with the rubbish Beyblade story!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Morning had come and Kai awoke slowly. He opened his eyes and when his vision came to focus he saw the attractive face of Lan sleeping beside him. Kai quickly turned around but not so quickly that he would wake Lan up, but he twisted around to see if he was the first one to wake up. He was to Kai's relief. Kai had suspected that he would be the first to wake up so that he could get out of bed quickly before any one else so it wouldn't look like him and Lan had slept in the same bed. He knew he was being a little unworthy and untruthful but he didn't give a damn about that, he just didn't want to let the others know about his relationship with Lan. He'd get teased for life, Kai didn't really care if he got teased come to think of it, but he didn't know if Lan would mind.
Kai got out of bed carefully so that he wouldn't wake up Lan and made his way to the bathroom. He paused halfway and retraced his steps back to the bed to check on Lan. He knelt down by the bed and took a moment to look into her face. He gently caressed her hair and cheek then gave her a small, very small peck on the forehead. He then stood up and then made his way to the bathroom with ought fail.
When Kai unlocked the door and came out of the bathroom he saw that Lan was awake and she was sitting upright on the bed with the quilt around her and she was staring at her feet being covered by the blanket. When she heard the door open she looked up at Kai and gave him a small smile, climbed off the bed, walked towards Kai and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Half of Kai was thinking of hugging her back, slightly, and the other half was thinking of gently pushing her off and shoving her into the bathroom but he couldn't decide so he just stood there not doing anything.
Kai soon realized that Lan was starting to doze off on his shoulder while still standing up.
[How does she do that?] Kai wondered.
He gently shook her awake and then gave her a slight push towards the bathroom. She was still rather drowsy.
Kai started making his bed and Lan's to make it look as if they had both slept in separate beds and had already tidied them up. Kai hoped the others wouldn't suspect a thing, unless one of them decided to go for a midnight stroll to the bathroom and saw them there but Kai hoped that when they saw two bodies in a bed they would be too tired to understand what they could have been looking at which could have been something as simple as their own hand.
Kai then started to go and wake Ray up, Ray always being the safest person to wake up as he didn't punch or scream or complain.
Just as Lan came out of the bathroom Max and Ray were already up. As Ray and Lan passed each other as Ray made his way to the bathroom they gave each other a faint smile but they were both sort of aimed a bit wrong, Lan smiled at the floor and Ray smiled at the wall. Lan was still pretty tired since the night before. [How can Kai always be the first one up and still not look so knackered?]
As Lan started to brush her hair she watched Kai wake Kenny up and then go back to Max and wake him up again and again since he kept on going back to sleep.
When Kai managed to get Kenny awake he just completely ignored Tyson, Lan didn't think that Kai even bothered to think about waking Tyson up. [He's so rude, oh well]. Instead of waking Tyson up Kai walked over to the wall and leant on it staring at his Beyblade thinking hard.
As Lan started pulling her bandana on her head she suddenly realized she had been trying to pull on Ray's red bandana instead of her own black one. She threw Ray's one onto his bed and then started putting on her own. [Man, I must be drunk, not sleepy].
Soon everyone was awake including Tyson as Max, Kenny and Lan poked him awake. Lan didn't care about waking him up; she just wanted to poke him. Hard. So soon the Beybladers, Lan, Mr. Dickinson and Tyson's Grandpa were on the BBA coach to take them to the European Tournament held in London in the Royal Stadium, (Hey I couldn't think of anything, there was the sea side or sea foam stadium what ever it's called and the glitter dome, I tried to think something for England and the only thing I'm bothered to think of is the Royal Stadium so hush.)
"So here's the plan I thought of last night." Said the Chief. "Tyson's going up first, then Max and then Ray, is that all right with you guys?"
The others nodded.
"Now Max. Here's your blade, I fixed your defence ring so it'll have more 'bounce' to it so that when your opponent tries to attack, three-quarters of the damage it would usually do to Draciel will bounce right back hitting your opponent. Three-quarters was the most I was able to do with ought covering your blade with wool."
"Hey, hey, hey mister. There you go again saying all that 'I' stuff, don't forget, who was the bit-beast trapped inside a computer who was able to prove that your idea would work? Was it I? Or was it you? Gee let's think. I do believe it was I. It's times like these I wonder if I should just switch myself off whenever you start talking so I don't need to listen to all you being so self-absorbed, I need some credit too you know." Dizzi said. (It's a bit obvious it was her duuh.)
"Oh relax Dizzi, when I say 'I' you know you're included as well and I know you do do a lot of work."
"Humph. Well why didn't you say that in the first place? A Gal needs to be appreciated you know."
"I know Dizzi. Don't worry." Kenny handed Max's new blade to him.
"Wow thanks Chief! It looks so cool! You're always doing so much, man you're a genius!"
"Uh hum!" Dizzi said, "Sure, always give all the praise and glory to Kenny and none too the poor bit-beast inside a computer, well I don't need to take any of this." And she turned herself off.
"I hate it when Dizzi goes in a big sulk like this. Oh well, she'll come through once her circuits have cooled down." Muttered Kenny shutting the lid of his talking computer. Max laughed.
"Hey Tyson, since you're going up first I just want to give you a few pointers." Kenny said turning to Tyson.
"Sure Chief, throw them at me." Said Tyson putting his arms behind his head.
"Now I don't want to insult you or anything Tyson, but I just want you to be careful and keep a straight head, don't get mad when things aren't going your way, make sure your hot-headed-ness doesn't get in your way of your Beyblading, it's very important."
"Geez Kenny! Gimme a break! I'll be OK besides, things will go my way and I'll be ruler of the bey-stadiuuum!!" Said Tyson enthusiastically.
"Tyson, please be serious!" Kenny said desperately.
"Tyson ma-man! The Chief is right! You gotta keep cool and play the game right and not get that bogus temper of yours in the way of ya groovin'!" Butted in Tyson's Grandpa with his weird way of talking. "Tyson. You just gotta keep calm and think ahead, remember what I taught you! Don't get red and play ya cards right then your opponent will be like a fish outta water. Allll WASHED up and outta the bowl! Hah-hah-hah!!! You get me little dude?"
"Um. Kinda. OK then I'll be careful. I'll do whatever it takes to make you act your age grandpa!" Said Tyson, eyes shimmering wishing that his grandfather were normal like other grandfathers.
[Tyson's temper's not the only thing that he needs to be careful about, he better keep his pride under control as well or we're doomed, over- confidence never gets people anywhere. I should know]. Kai thought to himself.
Kai was sitting next to Lan as usual at the very beck of the coach furthest away from everyone else who preferred to sit at the front. Usually Lan would just stare out the window looking at the scenery rushed past, but this time all she was thinking of was, was whether or not she should ask Kai that question that was on her mind since they battled the All-Stars. She didn't know whether to ask Kai, she thought about all the data the All- Stars had collected on Ray, Max and Tyson but none on Kai, as he was too powerful for them to measure on their computers. Lan was thinking that they couldn't always count on Kai, but then again they could, Lan just wanted to be some help to the team but she didn't know if asking Kai her question would help their team or just waste Kai's time.
As Lan absent-mindedly stared out the window wondering if she actually wanted to bother with the consequences after she asked the question and Kai answered. Lan could guess his answer would probably be 'yes' but she wasn't certain and she didn't know if she wanted to go through with it herself. She thought of it over and over and over again and there was always two reasonable sides that were positive and negative. Lan closed her eyes in frustration. She couldn't think and she didn't know what would happen in the future, the best thing she could do was to choose one option and just see what it would lead to.
She looked at Kai sitting next to her and wondered if she did ask him and he did say yes, Lan didn't know if she wanted to go through with all that hustle, the only thing she was sure about was that she wanted to do it with Kai.
Alone.
And with ought the others knowing about it until she was ready.
"ALRIGHT AND WELCOME TO THE FIRST PART OF THE BEYBLADING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS! THE EUROPEAN TOURNAMEENT!!!!!!!!! I AM YOUR HOST D.J. JAZZMAN AND I AM TOTALLY PHSYKED (pronounced syked, cant spell it properly) FOR THIS TOURNAMENT!" D.J. Jazzman the man who commentates the matches was wearing a mixture of different clothing representing all the countries that were in Europe and instead of his usual blue bandana he wore around his head a bandana with all the flags belonging to the countries in Europe. He had a French burette set jauntily on his head over his bandana, a maraca in his hand that was actually a microphone even though he already had a head set with a mini microphone, the maraca one was just to make the volume even louder and he had other sorts of clothing on, but still managed to remain stylish, usually you would think he would look like a fool but just try to imagine him not looking like an idiot, I'm just not really bothered to describe any clothing right now, sorry.
The Bladebreakers and co. had reached the Royal Stadium and were now just about to battle.
"I'D LIKE TO GIVE A BIG WELCOME TO THE BLADEBREAKERS! WINNERS OF THE ASIAN AND AMERICAN TOURNAMENT! THEY'RE A RED HOT TEAM AND READY FOR ACTION WITH THEIR TEAM LEADER KAI!"
The spotlight shined onto Kai, Max, Ray and Tyson presenting the Bladebreakers while Mr. Dickinson and Mr. Granger (Tyson's grandfather) sat in the audience while Kenny and Lan sat at the benches behind the Beystadium.
"THE BLADEBREAKERS WILL BE GOING AGAINST THE RUNNER BEAN RUSH TEAM! THEY'RE KNOWN TO BE SUPER FAST AND UNDEFEATED!"
Over on the opposite side of the Bladebreakers were three boys there dressed in Spanish clothing and they all looked alike, the Bladebreakers assumed they were triplets.
"Good day, I'm Brad Fest (I think that's his surname, I couldn't hear them very well, someone review me with their names please! Thank you!) And this is my comrade A.J. Topper (again, I don't know! It sounded like Topper! By the way, for those who don't know whom I'm talking about, A.J. and Brad are the other two commentators apart from D.J. Jazzman.)
Brad: Tyson's up for this first round, Tyson's no stranger when it comes to Beyblading, he might look like he's in trouble but then you know he can always count on his bit-beast Dragoon to help him out with his breath- taking Phantom Hurricane Attack (when I saw the stats thing on Tyson I noticed he had changed the name of his blade and I think it was phantom hurricane but I'm not sure, please correct me if I'm wrong but don't do it rudely).
A.J: And now lets take a look at his opponent! Going against Tyson is Sandy (hey, I don't know any Spanish names alright? You know I think there actually was a beyblader called Sandy, I think there was but I cant remember. oopps. oh well, it doesn't matter you can have the same name twice!) By looking at his stats he counts on his Beyblade to perform the brain teasing Bean Beam to help him out when things look like they're going down.
Sandy was a blonde tanned teen dressed in Spanish clothing and um sorry, I don't know what Spanish people wear, I only learn French and German in school, don't know anything about Spain apart from it's part of Europe and it's next to France and the capital of Spain is Madrid. Wow, I know so much ¬_¬;
Brad: Now why don't we look at the trick dish they'd be playing in today A.J.
A.J: Why not? The boys are gonna have to find their round around this special dish! It's designed to look exactly like the city Madrid so the boys are going to find it tough to whiz through those buildings, although it is like another challenge Tyson had to face in the American Tournament when he had to blade around New York City! This dish is called Madrid Mayhem, and believe it or not for those who saw the American Tournament, this dish is statistically harder than New York with bonus tricks and surprises!
"Tricks or no tricks, this is gonna be a synch!" Tyson exclaimed.
[Great, he's becoming over-confident, this is not good, Tyson's going to lose his concentration!] Kenny thought in his head gripping the sides of his seat.
"Don't think you'll be able to beat me chubby! My blood says Spain all over it pal so I know all the tricks and surprises in this dish!" Sandy said with a smug look on his face.
"Don't count on it Sand man. I'm prepared to win." Tyson answered back.
"PLAYERS AT YOUR MARKS!" Cried out Jazzman. "AND 3.2.1. LET IT RIIIIIIP!!!!"
"YAHHH!" Yelled out Sandy.
"Let it RIP!" Tyson cried out.
"You're going down Sandy! Dragoon Phantom Hurricane ATTACK!"
Brad: And Tyson wastes no time in unleashing his hard-hitting Bit-beast Dragoon.
Dragoon rushes towards Sandy's Beyblade but then Sandy's blade suddenly turned into a bright light and then whizzed away at the speed of light dodging Tyson's attack.
"Wha. What? What just happened?" Tyson stared at the dish bemused then realized Dragoon was just about to smash into a Spanish house, "DRAGOON TURN! Whew, that was a close one."
"Dizzi, upload the data on Sandy's blade." Kenny said.
"I'm on it Chief. OK Sandy's blade gathers up a lot of energy when his opponent is about to make a major attack, because of all it's power and gathered up speed it glows and then dodges away to the other side of the dish in under two seconds and his blade looks like a beam of light as it moves, hence the beam part in it's name, I don't understand the bean part though, maybe he just added it in because he has a favour for beans. You have to tell Tyson, Kenny, that full head on attacks wont work against Speedy Sandy here!"
"Thanks Dizzi! Wait, there is a way he can avoid this though can't he? I mean Sandy's blade doesn't have enough energy to perform the dodging through ought the entire match can he? His dodging has to be limited."
"Correct Chief, but Sandy knows that, Sandy doesn't use his Bean Beam attack just to dodge, he attacks as well, the speed also contains great power so if that fast and powerful attack hits Tyson, all I have to say is Tyson's going bye-bye unless we think of something quick before Sandy attacks." Dizzi said.
"Right, hopefully that wont be too hard just as long as Tyson listens and does what he's been told to do. Tyson!" Kenny cried.
"Er. Yeah Chief?" Tyson turned around to look at Kenny.
"Tyson, when Sandy performs his Bean Beam dodging, he loses a huge amount of energy in the process, all you need to do is stay one step ahead of him and make sure you don't get hit or you're doomed. Just keep on attacking him!"
"But then I'd just miss him Chief cos of his stupid glowy dodge!"
"Tyson listen to me! When you attack head on, he dodges with the Bean Beam and gets away safely but then wastes energy, that's why he'll attack you VERY soon so you need to delay his attack by attacking him so much he uses up his energy by dodging and when he's weak attack him and victory is yours!"
"Oh. I get it. Thanks Chief!"
"There you lot go again, thanking the human and not the Bit-beast." Dizzi muttered.
"Dragon Attack!" Cried Tyson.
"You think that your attack's going to work? Think again! Bean Beam dodge!"
"Come on Dragoon attack him again full on! You can do it!"
"Oh no! I'm starting to lose energy!"
Brad: Uh oh, looks like Sandy's starting to wobble.
"Quick! Bean Beam Attack!" Sandy yelled he was becoming desperate.
"Quick Dragoon! Before he powers up! Dragoon Attack!"
Dragoon lit up and then spun wildly at Sandy's blade breaking a few houses that came in its way and then a blade whizzed out of the stadium.
"NOOOOOO!!!!!" Sandy cried.
"And Tyson is the winner of the first round!"
"YEAH! I am the BEST!" Cried Tyson. "Oh er. hey, that was a great match, you actually got me worried there Sandy."
"What? Oh right, yeah. You were good Tyson. I guess I need to think of a better strategy, but it never failed before." And the two shook hands.
"Thanks Chief! And. er Dizzi. I never could have done it with ought you!"
"Yes Tyson. Just remember to use your head next time so I don't have to repeat my self." Kenny muttered.
"Sure thing Chief!"
"Hey Tyson! You were great!" Said Max clapping Tyson on the back looking cheerful as ever.
"Yeah Tyson you smashed that guy!" Exclaimed Ray.
"Humph." (Guess who).
"You're up next Max. Win one for the team." Kenny said.
"Sure thing Chief!" Max waved as he made his way to the stadium.
A.J: Now lets take a look at the all-round cool rookie Max Tate! He is no push over when it comes to Battling with his Iron (something, damn I cant remember.) Defence tactics! He may look gentle and cheerful but when things become serious, he's the king of the board!
Brad: Uh that's Stadium A.J.
A.J. Oh. err right.
Brad: So lets look at Max's opponent Randy, the only thing we know is that he uses his Jumping Bean Attack to help him win and that. err. we don't really know much about this guy as he likes to keep to himself and blade like a king.
A guy who looked like Sandy but dressed in brown and had a dark shadow over his face stepped up to the stadium. The shadow being cast over his face was the big dark hat he was wearing on his dark blonde-brown hair.
[Wow, this guy looks serious] Max thought.
"Players at your marks! And THREE. TWO.ONE. LET IT RIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Screamed Jazzman.
"Jumping Bean Attack!"
Brad: Wow, that was quick.
A.J: This match is OV-UR!
"What? How, how can that be? I barely had a chance."
"No-body can defeat my Jumping Bean Attack, it's super fast and comes at you with the Element of Surprise on its Attack Ring." Randy suddenly said with a dark evil sounding voice. "Tough luck kid." And with that he walked away back to his seat, his clock billowing bout behind him.
"Uh." Max was too stunned to think. He bent down and picked up his Beyblade, Draciel glowed brightly as Max stared sadly.
"Max." Kai's stern voice sounded.
"Um. Yeah?"
"Randy's Attack is like mine, he attacks quickly to get the match over and done with. If this same type of thing happens next time, just remember to do your Iron Defence manoeuvre as quickly as possible, in fact, do that in every one of your matches. You should have been aware of that Max, you disappoint me."
"Gee Kai leave Max alone." Tyson said.
"No Tyson. Kai's right, I should have done that, Kai's just trying to make me a better Beyblader." Max muttered returning to his seat. "Go on Ray, you gotta do this."
"I'm there Max, don't worry." Ray said getting up smiling at Max reassuringly.
"You better do it Ray, or we'll be out of the tournament on out first battle, how degrading." Kenny said.
"And if he doesn't do it, we can always just. uh. maybe I shouldn't say." Dizzi said.
"Good Luck Ray." Lan simply said. Lan never talked much when the Bladebreakers were battling; she just sat there with Kai hoping that they'd win the match. Thinking back and looking at the others, she really was starting to think about asking Kai that question.
"Gee. Thanks Lan!" Ray answered giving a small wave.
A.J: WOWZA! Now lets look at this last and tie-breaking battle! We have Ray here who's an all time charmer with the females and is heavy with his blade Drigger! And lets take a look at his opponent.
Brad: Ray's going to have to go against the team captain of the all time amazing Runner Bean Rush Team! He's also sweet with the ladies and is known to be undefeated! Dandy's his name and He uses his powerful and threatening Le Chubracabra (ok I can't spell it, it's that thing that eats goats. Spanish mythical beast, I can't spell, someone help me! I t was in the cartoon Jacky Chan whoever's heard of it, I don't really watch Jacky Chan cos I don't have Fox Kids. Un- happy) Attack!
"PLAYERS AT YOUR MARKS! AND THREE.. TWO.. ONE.. LET IT RIIIP!"
"Music Plays" (By the way, I might not get this right, cos I cant hear them, I can thank Jolly for the lyrics and if she got them wrong. never mind and oh yeah, there are some bits I don't know so bear with me)
'Picking up speed running out of time,
Going head to head that's the way of life,
Gotta fall down, street crowd.
To get back up again.
Lets BEYBLADE!'
"If you think you're going to win like your team mate, you're wrong! I'm gonna make you crash and burn RayMOND!" Dandy yelled out over the song.
"Think again Dandy Mandy! Cos you're going DOWN!" Ray yelled back.
"Hey my sister's called Mandy! And we're going to win this tournament! I'm gonna beat you just like Randy beat your partner!"
{Ray sweat drops}
[His sister is called Mandy? What were their parents thinking?]
Back at the stands Max sits there guiltily with a glum look upon his usually happy face.
"Drigger TIGER CLAW ATTACK! NO!" Ray was about to attack Dandy but he found that Dandy had led him into a trap and Ray almost fell down a small pit in the ground big enough for a Beyblade. Dandy had made a super - speedy U - Turn hoping to make Ray fall into the hole, luckily Ray managed to swerve away just in time. "Why you little." Ray cursed, (not swearing by the way).
"Hah hah hah! Still thin you're safe?" Yelled Dandy, "Le Chubracabra Attack!"
{Beyblade Theme song music still playing, by the way I REALLY don't know this, I'm just improvising and writing down what it sounds like, so sorry if I get it wrong cos I don't know}
'Spinning it out at the speed of sound,
Gotta rip it up gotta bet it down,
Gotta beat with a bang,
Lock gang,
It's the one that's gonna win!
Let's Beyblade!
Music'
"Drigger dodge!"
But it was too late, Ray's Drigger was hit and it went flying into the air.
"NO!"
"Hahahahahahahahahaaaaa!" Dandy laughed cruelly. "Say goodbye Ray!"
"NO! Drigger!"
Lan quickly gripped the edge of her seat in desperation, [no! Ray can't lose now!]
The Bladebreakers breathed again when Drigger landed miraculously in the dish, it was a little wobbly though, it was down slightly but it still wasn't out.
"WOW! One more hit for Ray and the final score goes to the Runner Bean Rush team!" Jazzman yelled out getting excited.
"Uh oh Kenny"
"What Dizzi?"
"Well, I loaded the info about Dandy's Chubracabra attack and you know that's the thing that eats goats?"
"Yes Dizzi, and we don't have the time to re - learn ancient myths, what do you have?"
"Well, his blade is like a replica of a Chubracabra and Ray's just a weak little goat just waiting to get eaten if he doesn't think of something soon."
{A Little movie clip of Dandy's Blade representing a Chubracabra was chasing a helpless lonely goat, which represented Ray's Blade.}
"Now as his blade is like a Chubracabra, it acts like one, its wild, ferocious, and powerful and like everything else, it has a weakness but we're going to have to find that weakness."
"Do you know what that weakness is Dizzi?" Tyson said.
"Well, no, but lets think, the myth of a Chubracabra, what's its weaknesses?"
"Um. I heard that when the sun rises up, the Chubracabra goes back to normal, uh, does that mean that Ray's going to have to shine a torch light on it?" Tyson said.
"Tyson, please use your brain. This is serious."
"Gee, sorry Chief." Tyson answered scratching his head. "Uh. I can't think."
"Well, as Dandy's Blade isn't a complete Chubracabra, we can still beat it without the use of a torch light. The best thing I can think of so far is getting Drigger to become as powerful as ever to make a full head on attack and knock Dandy out of the dish. But there has to be a catch to that." Dizzi started to say.
"So what do we do Dizzi?" Max said.
"Actually, Tyson did give me an idea, if Ray has enough power to wear out Dandy's Blade then the spirit of the Chubracabra will get worn out and become normal and tame, so all Ray needs to do is knock him out of the dish."
"Kinda like what I did in my match." Tyson said smugly.
"Yes Tyson, like you did in your match." Dizzi said in a rude mocking tone.
"Let's BEYBLADE! BEYBLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADE!"
"Music continues"
Dandy was getting enthusiastic,
"Yeah! Come on my friend! Lets finish this amigo!" Dandy punched the air. (I think amigo means friend or something but I don't know Spanish as I already told you).
"Grrrr, I cant let this guy beat me!" Ray was starting to sweat in a panicky way [Come on Ray! Pull yourself together! Think, THINK!]
"Ray! You need to get as much power as possible, attack and then run! Then surprise him! You got your Drigger to move super - fast before, do it now! Now is the time! NOW!" Kenny yelled to Ray. [This is a pathetic idea but it's the best we've got, I hope the other matches aren't this hard..] Kenny thought to himself.
"Uh. thanks Chief! Tiger Claw attack!"
Music
LETS BEYBLADE!!!!!
Ray pulled off Kenny's ideas but it didn't work.
"Come on!" Ray muttered. "I've got it! Drigger! Hide yourself!"
"Hey, where did you go?" Dandy swivelled his head around looking for Ray. "Ahh!" He just rarely missed smashing into a small wall not paying attention to his own blade too busy trying to find Ray's.
"I'm right behind you! TIGER CLAW!"
And Dandy's blade landed with a chink on the floor while Ray's was still spinning smoothly in the same spot where Dandy was before he got shot out of the dish.
"And. Well that was an interesting turn of an event, the winner is RAY!" Jazzman yelled through the microphone. A whole load of fans and Ray fans cheered loudly while the Runner Bean Rush team's fans just sat still too stunned to do anything.
Dandy's eyes were popping out in shock, because of his loss.
"Wha? How did you? I don't understand!" Dandy was stunned and seemed to be paralysed, his team mates also sat there looking stunned, angry and disappointed.
"Like some ancient and mythical beasts, the Chubracabra is not one of the most intelligent, just use the element of surprise and I've got you cornered. But Dandy." Ray stuck out his hand. "That was a fantastic battle, I was actually starting to get scared. You and your team are an excellent Beyblading team, but I'm glad we were able to fight you, I had a great time!" Ray said politely.
"Dandy stared at Rays out stretched hand for a while, then smiled and shook his hand. "As always, the better team won in the end, it was a good match Ray. Thanks." He turned his back and walked away with Sandy and Randy. "I want a re-match one day Ray, Just you and me, by then, you'll be the loser." He turned his head to look at Ray, smiled and winked, releasing all the tension between the two of them. Ray smiled gratefully knowing that Dandy was a good person before being trampled on the ground by Max and Tyson cheering him on saying how great he was and that was such a cool nail- biting battle.
Lan also walked towards Ray and patted on the back looking cheerful and happy smiling at him, but not being as enthusiastic as the others.
Lan looked back and saw that Kai had disappeared from his seat. [Huh? Where'd he go?]
After the Bladebreakers and Lan heard the announcement saying that they would play again in the next hour, they set off to look for Kai. They guessed that Kai had gone to the other stadium where the Blade Sharks would be playing next, they assumed right as Kai was sitting in the audience, stern looking and arms folded.
The Bladebreakers and Lan shuffled through the rest of the audience to accompany him to watch how well the Blade Sharks would do.
{By the way may I point out that, have any of you noticed the mistakes they did in Beyblade? I mean, in the Asian Tournament, they said that The White Tigers were playing at the same time as the Bladebreakers and the went to go see how they were doing, D.J. Jazzman was commentating the Bladebreakers match and when they went over to the next stadium, he was commentating the White Tigers' match so how was he able to be commentating at 2 places at once? Tut tut tut. Anyway}
When the match had started and Jazzman was commentating after a small interval to rest their voices. Stuart was blading first and surprisingly; he had won in a second.
"Kai, I thought you said he was the weakest of the group?" Lan whispered.
"He was. I guess he's improved a hell-lot. Hmmm.. He wasn't the weakest, he was just the weakest out of me, Vincent and (uh, someone. Else.I don't know all their names!) Well. Maybe except Carlos, he was the weakest. Stuart had never lost a match before, why is Carlos their leader?" Kai became lost in his thoughts and concentration again. Lan looked at him worriedly then looked back at the match.
Vincent was up next, he got hit a couple of times but it didn't look as if his opponents attacking as doing any damage soon his battle was over too making it 2 - 0 to the Blade Sharks.
Carlos. His match was quickest. The blade Sharks won 3 to nothing as easy as that. Kai couldn't understand how they had now become so good under Carlos's training. Frustration ran up all over Kai's body and was only calmed went Lan leaned her head on his shoulder in a comforting way. Kai was so glad Lan was with him; she was the only person he could talk to. But she seemed to be acting a little strange lately, he didn't know why. The Bladebreakers weren't going to battle the Blade Sharks that day, or the next. It now looked as if the two teams would meet in the finals. As long as the Bladebreakers held up their winning streak and won the Beyblading World Championships. But they would have to go through the Blade Sharks and many more tough opponents along the way.
After an hour had passed the Bladebreakers won 3 - 0, which lead them another step closer, their next match would be tomorrow.
As their opponents were becoming more strong and powerful by every match they played and won, Lan was really thinking of asking Kai her question. Especially after the Blade Sharks' battle, she now was certain. She wanted to ask Kai now more than ever. But could she get her tongue around it?
When they were back at the hotel, Lan grabbed Kai's arm and led him to a private, quiet corner.
"Kai.?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hah hahahahaha Cliffhanger. Ok, by the way, the question is actually a little sad. But wait till the next chappie to find out what it is! It's actually not really that sad if you really think about it and re-read about how Lan had felt before once you've found out what the question is and think about Lan carefully and what I mentioned about her. It's not that sad and stupid really to put a cliff-hanger, ok maybe it is, but I don't think it is, it's a big decision for Lan's character and especially by asking Mr. Grumpy.
Oh well, by the way soz it took so long to update, busy with annoying hmwrk!
Remember to R/R! Nicely! See ya!
