ANA

I was so relieved when we left Russia. The climate was much warmer and the sea breeze made me feel a whole lot better. I missed Katy a lot, but her letters kept me going. She wrote about unimportant everyday things that made me smile and my heart soar. I wish I could've taken her with us, but she wasn't part of the team so it was a no go area.

Beating the other teams was a snap. There were a few losses but nothing to complain about, we still went to the next round. However, as the teams became harder to beat Kai put us in training overdrive. I was surprised we could still beat the teams after each day of torturous training.

Tyson eventually snapped and he nearly went for Kai as they practiced battling each other. But something else happened instead. His blade radiated more power that he had ever used and smashed Kai's blade out the dish. There was so much force behind it half of Dranzer was sticking out a wall behind Kai. "Wha?" Tyson gawped like a fish, not knowing what else to say his mouth hung open. We were all amazed, even Kai looked stunned at Tyson's power. But then he smirked with the slightest trace of a smile. "See what you can achieve through training?" Was he giving Tyson praise or were my ears playing tricks on me?

Although none of us wanted to admit it, Kai had a point. So we continued our training without so much as a grumble. I didn't think I would be able to make Fallen anymore powerful than she already was. I could show them her full potential…but the mere thought of it was frightening. The last time I used her full power half a building was destroyed. True it was an abandoned warehouse due for demolition but it was frightening none the less.

I looked at the beach nearby from my window and decided to have some fun on my own. I rented a cheap surfboard and took my beyblade down to the beach deciding to get a little training in at the same time. I launched fallen on to the water and she followed me as I surfed the waves.

My bit beast had no certain element and was strong in all four of them. I felt her joy when she skimmed the waves with me as though her and I were one.

I went down a wave tunnel with Fallen by my side. I reached the end and came back to shore. Rei was there and stared at both Fallen and me with amazement. "How long have you been surfing?" I raised an eyebrow. "Long enough to go through a wave tunnel."

"I see that. Fallen too?" I shrugged and he smiled.

"You don't talk a lot do you?" I shook my head and he laughed. "Are you here just to interrogate me or what?" Rei's smile vanished and he looked a bit annoyed. "Kai wants the team to meet him back at the hotel in one hour." I sighed and gathered up my stuff. "You don't have to leave now." Rei called but I wanted a shower and wouldn't want to be late for one of Kai's boring speeches.

KAI

I was in the foyer when Ana passed by with the smell of the sea on her. "M-"

"Meeting in one hour, I know, Rei told me." I hated it when people interrupted me. Ana's manners still needed an upgrade but she never let anyone in to practice talking to people nicely. I know I'm a fine one to talk, but at least I know my manners. She arrived in the foyer when everyone else arrived. "What is it Kai?" Kenny asked and I took them all to the stadium. "The line up has already been done." Ana scowled at her old team's new name. "We used to call ourselves the emeralds."

"Why?" Tyson asked and she sighed. "We all have green eyes."

"Tila doesn't, they were blue." Rei stated and Ana shook her head. "Ever heard of coloured contact lenses?" Then something caught her eye and we looked in the same direction. Boris and the Black bladers were checking out the new stadium as well. He spotted us and came over being flanked by his team. "Well Kai we meet again." I glared at this man who made my life a living hell. "Boris." He looked over to Ana and smirked. "It's a small world after all. You could be disqualified for battling my team members before their matches."

"Better check your information Boris, I was challenged by Adrian." She scowled. "But you challenged Justin."

"I think it's safe to say we're in a stalemate situation and nothing more will be said about it." Ana said glaring daggers at him. Boris smirked and walked away with his team close behind him. I felt like hitting something and I had no doubt Ana felt the same way. "I don't care how hard you train me Kai. I'll do anything to wipe the smirk off that bastards face." I agreed with her and nothing more was said.
