I have my flute recital tomorrow morning so I'd practicing crazily so if you've waited longer than normal, I've very very very sorry. Sorry.
Chapter 8: Everyone Sees and Knows
Kai's Viewpoint
It felt so good to final kiss Emily. I'd never thought to do it until now. She was just so much like me and so confusing to me. She made me feel like I was perfect. She was… to put it easily… you just can't. Emily was the first person to try to understand me, first person to challenge my attitude and stand up to me. It took real courage and power. She was an awesome blader and when I'm around her I feel like I don't have to care what I do because she knows me. She was like me and she was perfect, not just perfect in a mental way but perfect for me.
I went back up stairs to see Dani wait at my door and smile at me. Smiling was not something a friend of Emily's would do. Something was going wrong. I would soon find out for sure. Michael, Steve, and Eddy were all looking at me. I looked at them like what are you looking at then I started to ignore them.
Everyone seemed to be acting strange except for Max's mom, Emily, Me and Clara, the lady that cleans the beyblade center. I was ignoring it but it bugged me was something go wrong that we were supposed to know.
I met Emily at the beybattle room. She had challenged me to the battle so I could use the blade. It brought her so much pain and sorrow to bring out a tool that by chance could be used for danger. Emily was arguing with someone. It was Dani; what was she arguing over.
"You'd take that chance? Did you forget to wake up your brain this morning? If Tala gets a hold of that blade than you've endangered everyone! Everyone means you, me, Kai, everyone in the building and the world. Do you know that?" Dani was yelling at Emily frantically searching for something to encourage Emily from giving it to me.
"Dani, It's my blade, my choice. If I can control the blade, than so can anyone who can beat me. If Kai beats me, which he won't but if he happens to, then he could control it and also protect it." I see her point. Dani didn't understand as well as I did.
"So by Kai, Tala's main enemy having what Tala wants it is more protected than before." Emily didn't retort as fast as she normally did but she just was thinking.
"If Kai has the blade than Tala can't. The blade works on respect, and power of a true bit-beast. Neither that Tala has both that Kai has." Emily had chosen a two words that weren't exactly the best words to describe me but they would suffice.
"It makes sense but still you had the two forms of defense. The rules of using the blade and the safety of it being hidden now how many does it have?" Emily sighed; her conversation was harder than her normal and not as easily won.
"Much more for sure, the rules, someone- Kai having the blade, the blade in control, the supreme power of the blade, and going through the top bladers the world has seen yet." I walked over and they stopped the argument.
"You ready, this should be a quick 3 matches. Don't you agree Dani?" I looked at Dani, she grunted and stringed up her nose.
Then she smiled. "Ya, I guess that if you want Emily to defeat you very fast then she will." I was surprised. Dani never seized to amaze me with her actions. I just sighed and walked to the dish.
"I'm sure with our skills matched as closely as they are it's not going to be an easy win for either of us. Let's just give it our best and get this over with." I could clearly see that Emily wasn't going to enjoy the beybattle and was going to be afraid to take full power like normal.
"You better do you're best because I know your best and I know what isn't." I said holding out Dranzer and my launcher. Emily did the same with hers and took a deep breath.
"No mercy Kai!" She took a step back and we launched.
"3…2…1…Let it Rip!" We yelled in unison. They blades flung into the dish like baseballs in a stadium.
No Viewpoint- Free
"Emily, Kai, what are you doing?" Judy said watching the match closely. She watched the laptop record data for the next match.
"Duh Judy, Emily and Kai are having a match." Michael said of course stating the obvious. "I'm sure despite the rules against it they go against each other all the time. It's simple if they are the only people in their league why wouldn't they?"
"I see. But why would they be doing in now on vacation. It's not a practice match because they are both going at each other for something." Judy saw as we ripped up the surface of the dish.
"Kai and Emily are doing major damage to each other and the dish. I wonder why?" Michael said wondering why two close friends would be battling with all that strength.
"I would being working as hard as them if I was defending something as important as Emily is. Kai is blading because he needs the power that Emily can give him." Dani said watching the blade in fear of the outcome.
"What do you mean? What is Emily defending that Kai needs?" Michael asked wondering what item would cause them to have to battle so hard.
"The Beymetal, it's extreme powers are needed by Kai to defeat Tala but if he can't control it than it would be better in Tala's hand. Tala has the ability to control it and most likely use bribery to make sure the world isn't destroyed." Judy looked like she was sad that Emily would let the world come to this. Dani looked sad to face the words she had spoken.
"So which do you think is best and the worst, Dani?" Judy looked at Dani with hopes to find the best possibility.
"Emily and Kai have a huge hold over each other. Emily has the possibility to re control the blade if he looses control. If Tala has it he would bribe us to do bad things and treat us like slaves. Kai having the blade has better chances of our happiness than Tala having it but it's only if Emily can help Kai keep control." Michael was relaxing but seeing as this would be the world's fate he decided to watch.
"Control is something that Kai has always had over his blade. I don't think that's a problem and Dranzer trusts Emily enough to calm him down if Kai happens to lose control. I'm sure glad that we figured this out but why the match?" Judy was intreagued by their choice of ways to settle the dispute.
"Emily said if she can control the beymetal blade than so can anyone who can beat her; it's a simple theory she has. She made so many tests before she let Kai have this battle. I don't know much but this is all from what I heard Kai and Emily talking about." Dani said walking to the glass and watching inventively.
"I think the blade would be better to be destroyed and not exist. No problems, no blade and no worries." Dani nodded and agreed that all could be easily solved if the problem didn't exist.
"Michael, I'm sure that she made the blade to be used but she needed someone who could use the blade. She didn't want to be responsible for a possibly dangerous blade. She locked away for her own safety not to hide the blade." Dana replied. She wanted to believe that but what if Emily just wanted to show off her wonderful blade. No, she couldn't believe that Emily would think to bother the world's balance all for fame and fortune.
"So who ever wins this beybattle gets the rights to the beymetal blade. That's kind of a simple feat to do. Beat Emily get an all powerful super blade. Tala could easily have defeated her and gotten the blade." Michael said leaning against the glass window.
"There are tons of more defenses to the blade then just defeating Emily. There are rules to the blade, steps to control it, rules to understand it and so on. It's no easy fit to work with this blade. Emily designed it to work like a real person and be selective of it's friends and partners." Dana was just proving how smart Emily was to have created a blade of this magnitude and power.
"Wow, neither of them is giving an inch. This match is going to be over in hours at this rate. Kai needs the blade to stop Tala and Emily just needs to prove that Kai is worthy so they are both working their hearts out to get this done." Judy said watching their stats increase and decrease.
"The match is whoever can keep their blade spinning the longest after a major attack. They are going to need some major stamina to go through this match with all this power and constant attacks." Dani said scared of how scared she would be when it ended.
"Do you think that it will ever be a winner? What if they tie over and over. Judy, you did say that all their stats were exactly matched, as well as powers, stamina and everything else, right?" Judy took a look at the screen.
"Yes, everything is a perfect match. If you saw these stats you'd think they were twins but yet so different. The only difference is Emily has a huge edge by knowing his weaknesses, strengths and everything." Judy said pointing to Emily's specializations' chart.
"Minus the fact that they both know each other like the back of their hands; it's exactly like having a twin. Either way none of them is going to get an easy edge over the other." Dani said reading over the stats, characteristics and powers. She wanted to know what Emily would do in the case of a tie.
At the Bey-dish
"How you holding out Kai? Because I still have enough energy to do this for hours." Emily said holding herself strong and pressing as much she could into attacking Kai's blade.
"I'm fine, but I don't plan on doing this for hours, sorry Emily." Kai said just crossing his arms and thinking on a strategy to beat Emily with.
"Will you just give up the tough act, we both know we are using all our staying on the same levels? Are you ever going to realize that some people are better than you?" Kai laughed.
"No, I'm not going to admit you're better because you aren't better than me. As you said this is clearly a tie." Kai and Emily prepared themselves for a full on head on collision.
"Final Attack!" Both bladers yelled, the blades crashed into each other and returned to their hands.
"Hm." Kai said looking at Dranzer who had been returned to his hand.
"Ah." Emily said relieved that this was a tie and not a win nor a loss.
The next two matches ended the same way and both were out of breath and gasping for a chance to relax.
"So Emily how are you going to solve this." Emily stood up out of her chair and smiled.
"Simple, if I have control and we are on the exact same level, same type of beybattle style and everything, what should I think. To put it simple; Exzata likes me because of my style, level and individually and Kai has the same so he gets it. I now we could have gone like this for more but I'm tired as well as Kai and I got the stats I needed." Emily took the key off her neck. "Are you coming Kai?" Kai just walked over to her and followed her.
Emily took Kai to her room. She went into her closet. She pushed aside all the clothes and there was a door. It had and eye and hand scanner. She scanned both then put the key inside lock and turned it. It opened.
"What is this place, where does it lead?" Kai said looking down the hallway that the door opened into to.
"This is my personal training center, vault, and everything of mine that I try to hide away. Judy and I are the only ones who know about it. It just leads to a few other rooms for me to train into and stuff." Emily walked past 3 doors they were of course not labeled and Kai chose not to explore and try to see what he could find.
She stopped at a door that was steel with chains around it. It had two signs on it 'Do Not Enter' and 'Danger, Keep Out'. She pulled out a strand of her wonderful orange hair and pushed in to a scanner as well as her eye and her hand print.
A little door appeared, Emily took the box out and opened it and took out a set of keys. She hand locked all the locks on the door then scanned her hair, eye and hand print again and the steal door opened. Kai just nodded at the amazing safety in which the blade was under.
She walked into the room followed by Kai. She put out her arm to stop him. He sighed, maybe a little too much security. She turned a switch and red beams appeared. "I wouldn't recommend touching them, laser heat beams they move and adjust every few seconds." He watched stood there.
She took out her blade and placed the bit-chip in a whole in the wall and all the lasers shut off. "Don't you think this is a little too much for a blade?"
"Nope, I think it's a little, anyone could have just busted down the door, snuck through the lasers quickly and stole the blade but getting here is the easy part. Talking to Exzata is the hard part. She's BIP or Bit-beast Intelligence Program. I created a bit-beast intelligent chip in the blade to talk to her in English. You're going to have to talk to her yourself." Emily walked over to the blade, grabbed it, took her chip out of the hole and Kai followed her out. She locked up everything and walked away.
She stopped at another room which she just opened the door. It was a Bey-dish, she put the blade on her tennis launcher and launched it into the dish. "Exzata, I, Emily have found a partner other than myself meeting you're high standards. Kai Hiwatari." She pointed to Kai and the bit-beast appeared. It was a golden retriever like dog with gold color. It was as huge as griffolion.
"Hello Kai. I am Exzata the dog bit-beast. So you have defeated Emily, nice job then. She's is a touch contender." Kai shook his head after the defeated Emily part and Exzata turned to Emily. "Emily, explain."
"See Kai and I are partners so the battle was a tie in all three matches. We used every ounce of our energy and I realized that we were exactly alike and knew everything about each other so if you would have agreed to being my partner you would have agreed to be his." Emily said leaning against a computer. She hit a button then the match was shown on a huge screen.
"I see you're point and I agree. I will work with Kai, what is his motive though. Is it as pure as yours was not to use my powers." Emily had to think about this was it?
"Kai's motive is more pure than mine. Kai needs you to channel Dranzer's energy through the blade. Tala, the one who wishes to use you for evil is trying to kidnap me but his battles end up in him and I getting hurt because of the equal powers. We've both been in the hospital once or twice since I left. He's protecting me and if he has you than Tala can't. He's helping you and I." Emily nodded and almost wished she wouldn't have said it with that much detail and emotion but all was true and just.
"I see, I agree his reason is good and I will help Dranzer and Kai to defeat Tala. I will help save you and protect myself. Emily, please go get a BIP card. I need to talk to Dranzer then leave me to talk with Dranzer. Return in an hour." Kai looked confused. "You have questions Kai?"
"Is Dranzer like you, can he talk?" Kai felt like he was asking a stupid question.
"All bit-beasts talk Kai, like Dragoon did to Tyson, he told you remember. I just need to understand Dranzer. I grew up with the chip and don't understand bit-beast language and you can talk to him too." Emily came back with a small chip.
"Kai, your blade." Kai handed Emily the blade and she installed the micro card onto the smallest level of his blade. She handed it back. "Just launch it into the dish and we can go."
"Let it Rip!" Kai launched Dranzer into the dish.
"Good-bye Emily and Kai." They both walked out of the room back into Emily's room, locked up and went to lunch.
