Chibi-Kari: Here is the next chapter remember now...there was a time

lapse. It is now the championships!

Max: She doesn't own otherwise the story would skip around a lot

Chibi-Kari: I'm so sorry for all the spelling errors...I was just rereading my work

and it was packed full with them...I'm so embarrassed. Anyway Kai has now

left the team also! He felt that he didn't have anything to stay for once

Hilary left.

Max: On with the fic...


Bonds of Friendship and Love

Chapter 4-Reunited Bladebreakers


BBA Revolution's Dressing Room-Two Hours Before Championships

Tyson, Kenny, Daichi, and Hiro were all gathered around a table talking in

their dressing room. Tyson and Daichi became partners after Kai left the team.

Daichi was itching to get started on battling. America was okay but he was here

to beyblade.

Just then a knock was heard on the door. Tyson silently got up to answer

the door. Silence was a word Tyson had now grown fond of. With a pull of the

door it opened to reveal a smiling Max and Rei.

"Hey guys!" Max gave Tyson a hug as both boys entered the room.

"Where's Kai?" Rei asked looking around the room, "Off practicing some

where?"

"He went back to the Russian team." Was the only sound and it came

from Kenny.

"What about Hilary? I'm surprised he would leave her." Max said a little in

shock. He wished he had been watching the news.

"Hilary's gone too." Daichi said after a long silence.

"Gone where? Did she go with Kai?" Rei asked looking around at the

people sitting in the room wondering where their spirit had gone.

Suddenly Tyson chuckled and looked up at the two new comers, shocking

them with the unshed tears in his eyes, "I bet Kai wishes. Even I wish."

"What's going on?" Rei asked.

The question sat in the air, until Hiro spoke up seeing as none of the other

would, "About a month after you left Hilary left."

"Left for where?" Rei pushed.

"We don't know. No one does. A search party was sent for her. We

looked for months, but after a while we couldn't find her. Kai had trouble dealing

with it. They all did. Then Kai left." Hiro finished explaining.

"But that doesn't make sense she wouldn't just leave." Max stated, getting

a little riled up.

"But she did." Kenny answered, "She left us all without a word. We

looked in her room and only found her journal. She had written in it right before

she left, but it didn't make sense. It didn't sound like she was going

somewhere."

"Something must have happened to her. She wouldn't just go!" Max said

loosing his temper.

"Getting upset doesn't change it, Maxie. She's gone." Tyson said looking

his blonde friend in the eyes.


Outside Training Field-Mariah and Emily

"Wow Mariah, the guys are going to have a hard time beating you." Emily

said smiling. Normally she didn't train with the enemy but she was getting along

with Mariah.

"I know. Guys are such wimps, right Emily?" Mariah laughed as her red

headed friend joined her.

"You're two awfully happy people especially for ones that are going to get

beat soon." Came a calm almost seductive male voice.

"Who are you?" Emily asked quickly.

"You don't need to know that at the moment. But you two know Max and

Rei correct?" A group of four people in cloaks approtched them.

"What do you want with them?" Mariah yelled.

"Nothing. We just want you to give them a little message. In the form of a

battle if that is okay." The cloaked person on the far right spoke, the same boy

that had been speaking the entire time.

"What do you mean?" Mariah asked.

"I want one of my team members to fight you. That's all."

"Fine." Emily exclaimed.

"Good. We'll take Mariah." He said as he looked over at one of the

cloaked figures and nodded as they stepped forward, "Are you ready?" He

asked his teammate.

"Yes." Came a feminine voice's reply.

Within minutes of launching the game was over. Mariah's blade had been

crushed by the opponents. She ran over to her blade and picked up the parts.

"I guess you weren't that tough." The boy spoke once again, "Tell Max

and Rei and the rest of the old Bladebreakers that they will come head to head

with us in the Championship and they will loose." With that the group turned and

walked the other way, their blood red cloaks waving behind them.


Back in the BBA Revolution's Dressing Room

"I just can't understand this." Max said shaking his head.

Just then the doors slammed open revealing Mariah and Emily. Tears

were streaming down Mariah's face.

Rei's eyes went wide, "What happened Mariah?"

"Her blade is ruined. This blading group came and challenged her and

then in less than five minutes one blade completely destroyed hers. Then they

told us to tell you that they would see you in the Championships." Emily said

finally taking a breath of air into her lungs.

"Here Mariah." Max started, "Kenny and I will fix your blade. We still have

enough time and I'm sure we can find enough parts." He looked over at Kenny

who had shaken his head yes.

"What was the team's name?" Tyson asked Emily.

"They never said. They just walked off."

"This is going to be trouble." Tyson said as he looked around the room at

all the guys.


TBC

Chibi-Kari: Sorry this is so short but I wanted to leave a slight cliff hanger.

Max: Even though they probably know and you couldn't think of anything better.

Chibi-Kari: Will you just leave me alone...yeash...thanks again for all the

reviews.

Max: Review!
