Chapter 9:
" What's in there? Kenny can you find out?" Tyson asked when he looked around the corner. There was a big door with the number five on it. " Must be something big. Dizzy can't find a thing," Kenny said and looked at the door, " and if we want to get there, we need to get through this hallway. As I expected this hallway is filled with laser beams. So we have to be very careful."
" You really need to go?" Divano asked. " Yeah I do. I need to know if they haven't got in trouble like usual," Kai said and got up. " Then go," she said and felt a soft kiss being placed on the top of her head. She watched her man leaving and sighed. She knew that he was right. Then Divano stood up and noticed a little gift shop. Maybe they had baby or children stuff there. Well she could always take a look while she was here anyway.
" Max look out!" Tyson yelled as the glass wall came down from the ceiling. Kai was just in time to catch him and pushed him back. They had a rough landing on the floor. " You OK Max?" Ray asked. ' Yeah great just like I didn't save the kid,' Kai thought and stood up. " How are we going to get out of here?" Ray said and looked at the glass wall, which was at least 5 inches thick. " That's simple. Here let me to it," Tyson said and launched Dragoon. He banged against the glass wall but that wasn't even a scratch left behind. " Oh," Tyson said softly. " Now what?" Max said. " Maybe we can help," two guys said. They were cloaked. One of them launched a blade and cracked the glass wall. " And we don't even get a scratch on it," Ray said. Kai just looked at them. ' There's something about them. Something weird. What are they doing here?' he thought.
" Ok Tryhorn, destroy him," one of the guys yelled. " Come on Driger you can beat him easily," Ray said but inside he knew that it was going to rather hard. And it was. His opponent really knew what he was doing and how he had to handle him. " So you loose. You're a good blader. No doubt about it but we are...well way better," he said and walked away laughing out loud. " Come on we better go as well. We aren't supposed to be here," Max said. " But...but," Tyson said. " No buts, we leave now," Kai said and walked away. He had enough of this and somehow he knew that they would see those guys again.
Back in the cafeteria, they found Divano sitting at a table with two bags. " What's in there?" Max asked. " Well I know a few people who are getting a baby and I bought some things for them," she said, " just a few cuddle toys and such." Kai looked at her and sighed. After all she was still a girl. She just smiled at him. He nodded and sat down next to her. They needed to wait for 15 minutes or so before the bus came.
Back in the hotel:
" Now let me see what you got," Kai said. " Not much. I guess they are just big," Divano said with a small blush. He took out a few cuddles toys and a few dummy's. He had to admit that he liked them. " I should have known," he said and hugged her. " Well I mean. I sat there, doing nothing and I really hate that," she said and lay her head onto his shoulder. " I know," he said, " but I guess it's better if we go to sleep. They want to get up early tomorrow just so that they are on time for the first match," Kai said. " But I wanted to take a bath," she said. " Then go. It'll do you some good," he said. " You need to come with me," she said and pulled him off the bed. Kai sighed and obediently followed her.
" What do you think?" she said when she looked into the mirror at her stomach. " Well I guess that the baby is growing well," he said. " It is. I am already glad that I'm not that sick any more," she said. " So for how long are you pregnant now?" Kai asked and took off his clothes. " About 4 months," she said and carefully sat down in the bath tub. " It's going fast," he said and looked at her. " I know. I mean we haven't got that extra chamber ready yet. We really need to start on that when we get back," Divano said and closed her eyes. " I guess you are right about that...but for now. I think it's better that we just stay calm and see what happens. Like usual," he said and sat down next to her. " I think that you're right," she said and sighed, " you're right most of the times."
At the American tournament:
" This is our third match. I thought that Tyson need to play first?" Max said. " Yeah he did. So where is he?" Kenny said and looked around. He was nowhere to be seen. " This is nothing like Tyson. Normally he's half an hour early," Ray said. " Kenny, there's something causing gas nearby you," Dizzy said. " Hey guys," Tyson said. His face was a little green and he didn't look too well. " Tyson are you alright?" Max asked. " Yeah I'm fine. You know it's Dragoon who's just a little sick," he said. " Are you sure about that?" Kenny asked. " Wait a second. I really need to go," Tyson said and left for the toilet. " OK I don't think that he's able to play today," Ray said. " Hey I can play. I feel great," Tyson said immediately. " Tyson you look like a zombie," Max said. " That scares away the opponents," his comment was. " The only thing that scares people off...is you. Don't you get it? You aren't able to play today," Divano said, got up and crossed her arms. " But I feel better already," Tyson said a little desperate. " Really? One little gust of wind and you fall over," she said. Kenny blew against Tyson just to prove she was right. " Anyway we need a third blader," Divano said and looked at the team across the stadium. " Well I can't be me or Max," Ray said and looked at her. " I'll do it," she said and looked at Kai, " and you aren't stopping me." She narrowed her eyes. This was the first opportunity in 4 months that she was able to play and he was not going to ruin that for her. Kai sighed. " Alright. But be careful," he said in Russian.But he didn't like it one bit. She could see that in his eyes. " I always am. I'll be fine," she answered in the same language. She had observed the other teams already and she didn't need Dicer at all. Kai looked at her eyes and saw that she really wanted it. It had been such a long time for her. He knew that it had been hard for her. She sat down next to him again. " Thanks. I really needed to play a match again," she said. " I know," he said and gave her a quick kiss on the side of her head.
So finally it was her turn to play. Not that they really needed to play cause they had already won the others. " We have a little change of players here. Cause instead of Tyson, Divano will play. She's second on the world's ranking list," Jazzman said. Divano walked up to the stadium and felt power floating through her veins. She liked that feeling. Every time she felt that power, that was no way of stopping her...or Dicer. ' OK girl. Let me see how you really need to battle. Make me proud,' Kai thought and smirked. " You think you can beat me?" her opponent said. " My dear boy. That won't be all that I'll be doing to you and your blade," she said and smirked. Dicer was clicked to the launcher and then aimed at the stadium. " OK bladers are you ready?" Jazzman asked and then the start signal was heard. Dicer was launched with an great amount of power. " Ok Dice. Aerial icicle," she said. With one simple blow the other blade was ripped out of the stadium and Divano was declared the winner. " That feels good," she said and left the stadium.
Finally she felt the power of her blade again. Dicer flashed at her. Like he said thanks. " I know you are happy again. Next time, I promise you, you really get to spread your wings," Divano said and smiled at her blade. A very clear baby blue light shined at her. ' Yeah I like you to Dice,' she thought and putted her blade back in her pocket. " You OK?" Kai asked. " I feel fine. Great even," she said happily. " Good. Then we are going. Since it's just the two of us, we'll go somewhere and have a drink OK?" he said. " Sure. Sounds good to me," she said and stretched herself.
