The week was finally over and our first match was today. I had bought some black fingerless gloves yesterday and admired them in the mirror. "Are you ready super model?" I glared at Kai as he smirked. "Yes your royal grumpiness." He scowled and it was my turn to smirk.

I didn't know how big the stadium was until we reached it. I looked up with wonder plastered all over my face. "Wow." I breathed taking in everything. This wasn't new to the others but the size seemed to interest them. Kai looked bored as we went in. It was straight to the waiting room to wait for our match.

"Oh Ana." I cringed and turned to see Tila looking at me with an evil grin upon her face. "Hello Tila." I said in an irritated way. The others were around me and looked worried. "Boris sends his regards."

"As do I." I growled glaring daggers at her. "Adrian sends his love." I smirked and shook my head. "Well I don't send mine."

"W-what?" My smirk grew bigger as Tila stammered. "He's no longer mine, you're welcome to him." Tila shook her head. "As long as you're alive he'll always be yours."

"He made his decision. It's too late for apologies." Kai looked at me and bent his head forward until his mouth was near my ear. "I thought you said they were still your friends and just needed help. How are you helping them?" He whispered so only I could hear him. I put my mouth near his ear and whispered back. "The only way I can even begin to help them is when they are defeated. Boris will abandon them and I will be there to help them. Without Boris they will have no fight left. He made them rely on him and will be vulnerable without him; I got out just in time."

"Hmm." Tila looked very curious. "What are you whispering about?"

"Nothing that concerns you." Tila turned on her heel and walked away with her nose in the air. "I hate it when she does that."

"Hmm?" I shook my head. "Never mind."

KAI

"Now way!" Kenny exclaimed when he saw the boards. "What is it Chief?"

"The All Stars, White Tiger-X, The Majestics, and the Blitzkrieg boys have all been knocked out before we came here." Tyson and the others apart from Kai looked shocked. "How?"

"There were some new teams…we've got some tough competition. Brand new teams, new strategies, and new data. This is going to be interesting." Kenny sounded excited but we didn't look so sure. "At least with the old teams we had some way of knowing how they worked." Rei pointed out making Tyson look worried. "What? Are we the last of a dying breed or something?" Ana asked.

"You could say that. New teams appear all the time but some of the ones we knew always made it through. But this time they didn't even make it to the championships." Kenny sounded almost sad. "Guess they couldn't see any point going against us." Tyson teased. But Rei and Max found it far from funny. "The white tigers would never give up!"

"Neither would the All stars!" Max and Rei leered over Tyson making him go even deeper in to the couch.

Ana sighed and went over to the window away from the arguing boys. The sun shined on her face making her hair glisten in the light. She sighed and closed her eyes. I could tell she was remembering something as she touched her lips and smiled. But then she glared and the peace on her face faltered before disappearing completely. "Are you ready?" She looked at me with the same fury in her eyes. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Right here's the line up." We gathered around Kenny to listen to what he said. "First Max will go against James. Rei your against Sheila, Tyson you'll be facing Damien, Kai, Leon and Ana…" Ana had a far awake look and only came away from the window when we called her over. "Yeah?"

"Your opponent is someone called Aaron." She nodded and looked at her blade. "The team is called the obliterators."

"Well they're about to obliterated Chief." Apart from Ana and I Tyson and the others put their hands together to seal the deal.

ANA

Tyson's over confidence was a bit stupid in my opinion. But it gave the rest of the team a boost and I had to admit, I felt something too.

But he had a point the obliterators were a challenge but didn't really stand a chance. Rei ended his match in a draw, Max drew too, and Tyson was close to loosing but took it in his stride. The kid who faced Kai didn't know what hit him and I defeated Aaron without even breaking a sweat. The obliterators may've lived up to their name before the tournament but not when they faced us.

We defeated team after team, I didn't really pay attention to the rest of the names but we finally made it to the last round in Russia. Eight teams were going through to the quarterfinals in Mexico. The last team we had to defeat was too much for Max and Rei, Tyson barely beat his opponent and Kai had a hard time too. I glared at my old teammates name. The black bladers were coming to Mexico too.

I hadn't been sleeping well and nearly passed out at the end of my match. The others were concerned when I collapsed back at the hotel on my bed. "Did you sleep at all last night?"

"For you information I was woken up at four O'clock by your incessant snoring! Now fuck off so I can get some sleep!" Tyson growled as he left and I saw Kai smirk.

KAI

"Is she ok?" Max asked. "Go ask her yourself!" Tyson growled. "You can't ask him to do that Tyson, that's no better than suicide."

"That bad huh?" Max said looking at the room where she slept. "Well I'm not getting her up at three O'clock tomorrow." Tyson growled even louder. "I wouldn't want you to! Now keep that big trap of your shut so I can sleep!" Ana yelled through the door. Tyson was telling the others to shut up as they laughed at his expense. Looks like I'll be the one to do it…but how she would react was anyone's guess.
