Chapter 4.

Elvengirl: Welcome back to another installment of my fic. It will get better, I promise. Thanks to all who have reviewed my story, please keep doing so. I love to here what you guys say. Still no flames please. Anyway here is chapter 4.

Everybody slept for about a day due to the time zone change. The only team that was unaffected was the All stars. So, they got a jump on sightseeing. The next day. Everyone was beginning to wake up.

The Blade breakers: Max awoke to a loud crash. Tyson had fallen out of his bed, but he was still asleep. Rei was already up.
" Rei, you're up early."
"I wanted to go see the White tigers, but they're asleep."
"Oh"
" I still have give Mariah her birthday present. I completely forgot to send it"
"That stinks"

The White Tigers:
"Hey, Mariah, wake up, you've got a note from rei," Kevin said as he shook her awake.
"Huh, a note, let me see," said Mariah, as she sat and grabbed the note from Gary. Here is what the note said: Hi Mariah, I was here earlier but you were still asleep. I wanted to give you your birthday present. I'm sorry I didn't send it to you but I completely forgot. I was really busy that week. I didn't forget about your birthday though. Any way, guess I'll see you later today. -Rei. "So he didn't forget my birthday," thought Mariah as she read the note again.
"Earth to Mariah, come in Mariah, Are you coming or what?" asked Lee as he waved his hand in front of her face.
"Yes I'm coming, just wait okay," she said as she got out of bed.

The Allstars:
"Eddy, have you seen Michael?" Emily asked her teammate.
"Nope. Sorry Emily, I only saw him last night."
"That's strange, why would he leave without telling anyone?"

The Magestics: Robert was the last one to wake up. When he did, he saw Johnny frantically searching through the guidebook.
"What are you looking for?" asked Robert
"There has to be a golf course around here somewhere," came the reply.
"Where are Enrique and Oliver?"
"Oliver said something about the gift shop, and Enrique said he was going to take a walk"

The Demolition Boys: Tala, Spencer, and Ian stared at Bryan. He was still asleep.
"Man, he's a sound sleeper," remarked Ian.
"Yeah, nothing, not even ice cold water, works," remarked Spencer.
"He'll get up eventually, just not this year," said Tala. Although as soon Tala said that, Bryan stirred and woke up.
"Why are you guys staring at me?" he asked rubbing his eyes.
"You weren't waking up," the others replied.
"Oh,"
"Anyway, hurry up, according to this note, we have to be in the glacier conference room by 11:00." Said Tala.
Bryan looked at the clock. It was only 10:45.
"Won't we be early?" he asked.
"Yeah, but it's better than hanging around here for 45 minutes."

Okay, now I'm going to break out of the team POV for a while. Hope you're enjoying this so far.

The Demolition Boys were the first ones to arrive at the Glacier conference room. Bryan sat down on the stage that was set up and began to play his guitar. (Yes, the demolition boys are musicians. Bryan-guitar, Tala-piano, Ian-drums, harmonica, Spencer-saxophone) Fifteen minutes later the White Tigers arrived. Mariah immediately went over to go see Bryan. The Majestics were the next to arrive. Johnny and Robert instantly started up a chess war and Enrique and Spencer got talking about girls. A few minutes later, the Allstars-minus Michael- arrived. Tala smiled at Emily. Pretty soon the two of them were in a heated conversation. Steve and Eddy had turned the radio on, so Bryan stopped playing his guitar. Then the Blade breakers walked in. Rei saw Bryan and Mariah sitting together and quickly felt like he was being challenged. Mariah looked up and saw him. She said something to Bryan. Bryan nodded. She stood up and came over to him.
"Hi Rei," she said.
"Long time no see Mariah, how are you?"
"Good, how about you?"
"I'm fine. What were you doing with Bryan over there?"
"We were just talking. Rei, you know that Bryan and I are just friends, besides, I do owe him for saving my life."
"Hey Mariah, c'mere, I want to show you something" Emily called from across the room. Mariah smiled and left. Rei walked over to Bryan. Bryan looked up.
"Bryan,"
"Rei" The two stared at each other. They had been rivals ever since that fateful match at the world championships. They stared at each other in cold stony silence, until a familiar song came over the radio.. Sponges. By: The Arrogant Worms (a very silly Canadian Band) (Slow music) Can't think of anything to sing about, Not much out they're to sing about. The world's okay, the weather's fine, No need to sing about that.. I'll sing about.

(Rock music) Sponges, Sponges, Yeah. Sponges, Sponges, Yeah, yeah, Sponges suck, Sponges suck, Sponges absorb liquid then you squeeze them out.. Yeah!!!!!

(Slow music) There's lots of songs of peace. Lots of songs of love. Even songs about peaches and Valkaries. No songs about.

(Rock music) Tuna fish, Tuna fish, Tuna fish, Tuna fish, They're real big and swim in oceans, Come in cans like hockey pucks, Tuna got their name cause they don't swim in pairs.

(Slow music, lyrics are spoken)

Get it? Tu-na

Are there two of those fish?

Na. Tu-na, Tu-na. Is funny heeheeheehee? (Silence for a bit) I like Tuna,

(There is another chorus about sponges but I don't like that part and I can't remember it. This is a song done by a very crazy Canadian band called the arrogant worms. The band name somewhat explains the nature of the band. This is just a warning to say that there will be other Arrogant worms songs in this fic. You are probably wondering why I put this in here. This is why. At the world championships, the Allstars found Bryan reading when they got there, on the day of Tyson vs. Tala. He was in a bet with Boris that he could actually be more than 15 seconds early. (Bryan is a very fast runner) Anyway Michael, who is a Canadian, if you haven't figured that out yet, started playing that song. Everyone wanted to know what it meant, so Bryan attempted to find out. It took him a week and Rei joined him. Now whenever they here that song they burst into hysterics. The meaning of that song: there are a lot of songs about everything else but no songs about tuna or sponges. Now back to the fic)

By the time the song was on the last chorus, the two rivals were in complete hysterics (laughter). That one song always had that affect.

"So Kai, where are you now?" asked Tala. He was referring to "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" video game that they had been competing at ever since the world championships.
"You better be past the ring wraiths (level 2)"
"Yeah, I am. I'm at Lurtz now (I assume you fight him in that game. If not will someone please tell me.)"
"Ha, you're still pathetic."
"What do you mean, Tala?"
"I beat the game." Tala announced proudly.
"What, with who?"
"Aragorn."
"Do you have any witnesses?"
"Bryan, Spencer, and Ian"
"Aw, man" So that was pretty much how the morning was spent. Rivalries were revived, Friendships renewed, etc, etc. Nobody really noticed that Michael was still missing.

Michael walked down the street to the harbor and his old neighborhood. Everything was so familiar about this place. He smelt the air. It was so good to be home. Michael turned the corner. He went and looked at his old house. It looked slightly shabby and had a " For Sale" in front of it. He looked on it with fond memories. Then he walked into the little beach that was there. He took out a white beyblade and launcher. Michael smiled to himself as he readied everything. "I haven't done this since I was seven years old," he thought to himself.
"Three.two.one.Let it rip!!!!!!!!" he yelled pulling the ripcord. The white blade sailed through the air, hitting various pieces of debris, until it landed in a small dish. The blade spun there and Michael smiled at it with pride. "I still got it," he thought. Three other blades, a Blue one, a Grey one, and a Green one then joined Michael's blade. The four blades collided and then went sailing out of the dish. Michael caught his blade and looked up. He saw three figures standing there. One of them jumped down and walked towards Michael/
"Long time, no see, Mike. It's been a while"

Elvengirl10: and that's chapter 4.

Max: good cliffhanger.

Elvengirl10: thank you.

Tyson: so who are those mysterious people?

Tala: If she told us, that would spoil the cliffhanger.

Tyson: Oh.
