Frostbite Phoenix: Chapter Two

It had taken a lot of persuasion on Jessie's part, but eventually the gang headed back for Tyson's dojo. He stopped everyone before the door.

"Ok, Gramps is going to be expecting me any moment-"

"So everyone be quiet. We've heard it a thousand times, Tyson." Max finished.

Tyson shrugged and silently opened the door, tiptoeing inside. The others waited outside for the yell and boom, but it didn't come. Wyatt looked at Kai.

"Did I miss something?"

"Tyson should've gotten his ass kicked by now unless he's planning something. The bastard….."

Jessie groaned and rolled her eyes before walking inside. A split second later, a loud "YYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" could be heard, followed by lots of slamming and crashing sounds. The others ran inside to find Tyson pinned on the ground by Jessie, who looked about ready to tear his head off. Wyatt laughed.

"I guess I forgot to warn you. Jessie's an amazing martial artist."

Jessie glared at Tyson, who at the moment had his face being mashed into the floor. If looks could kill, he would be dead 10 million times over. Several of the Bladebreakers raise an eyebrow at the sight.

"Mmmmphjldff….."

"Uh, Jessie, you might wanna let Tyson breathe."

Jessie took her foot off of Tyson's head. Tyson gasped for breath.

"HOLY SHIT this girl is good."

Next thing anyone knew, Max and Wyatt were duking it out in the beydish just for the heck of it, and all were surprised to see Wyatt take a victory.

"Not bad."

Wyatt flashed a kawaii smile.

"Thanks!" Kenny looked up from his laptop.

"Who taught you?"

"I did." All eyes were on Jessie, who until now hadn't spoken a word. Kai glanced over at her. That was when Wyatt spoke up.

"After she restored me to health, Jessie taught me everything I know about blading, and she herself is really good."

"How?"

Everyone seemed to be surprised that Kai had said something.

"When Wyatt got hurt in that battle, I took care of him and trained him to blade when SOMEONE WE KNOW wouldn't." She snapped without even opening her eyes. Kai's eyebrow twitched involuntarily, affronted at her comment.

"I DARE you to say that again." He growled in the most threatening tone he had.

"You heard me the first time." She responded coolly.

Wyatt stepped in.

"Guys, knock it off."

Kai glared fiercely at Jessie, who returned it with a glare even more icy than his own.

"Hey, how about Wyatt battles Kai to show him how good he's gotten, huh?" All eyes fell on Tyson. "What?"

Wyatt smiled at Kai.

"C'mon, Kai."

Kai sighed in defeat and pulled out Dranzer, slotting it into the launcher and getting into his bladers' stance. "3, 2, 1, LET IT RIIIPP!"

"Coloroda, attack!"

"Dranzer, counterattack!"

The two blades charged at each other, bombarding one another with lightning-fast hits. Wyatt actually wasn't too bad, but Kai was still at a much more advanced level and eventually landed a hard hit. Wyatt's blade started to wobble. "Coloroda, Rockslide attack!" The center of Wyatt's blade glowed green, then a bit beast appeared. It was an enormous stag with 7-tine antlers with strange markings under its eyes and on its legs. The earth below Wyatt's blade started to crack as Dranzer retreated to avoid falling in.

"Dranzer, Volcano Emission!"

The red phoenix emerged and shrieked before launching the attack. As Earth and Fire forces collided, dust flew up, temporarily blinding the two. It cleared just as Wyatt's blade wobbled to a stop.

"Aw well. Good match." Wyatt said, still wearing a grin on his face.

"Yeah….." The two picked up their blades. Kenny was typing furiously at his laptop, apparently replaying the match.

"For someone of Wyatt's rank, he did really well!"

Wyatt blushed and rubbed the back of his head. Kenny looked over at Jessie. "Any chance we could see your bit beast in action?"

Jessie raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"We'd need a hell of a lot more space than this to hold my Devi Dranzer."

Kai looked up in mild interest. "Devi Dranzer?" Wyatt stepped in.

"Yeah, Devi Dranzer is Jessie's Ice phoenix. The thing is huge. If I had to guess, roughly 4 ½ stories tall." That was pretty large for a bit beast, there were only a few other bladers that had bit beasts as massive as one on that scale. Tala, Brooklyn, and Robert to name as many as anyone knew about so far. Tyson smirked. "In that case, I challenge Jessie to a battle out at the park."

Jessie rolled her eyes for the millionth time as Tyson readied his launcher.

"Ok Jessie, lets make this a little more interesting."

Jessie raised an eyebrow and folded her arms. "Go on."

"First off, no holding back, I wanna see you fight with full power."

"And?"

"And the second thing is, how about a bet? If I win, you go out on a date with me."

"And if I win, you're in for the ultimate boot camp, and believe me, it will be a hell of a lot more painful than Kai's."

The two loaded their launchers, and Ray called the position of referee.

"3, 2, 1, GO!" The two let loose their blades, Jessie immediately charging head-on at Tyson and ramming into his blade hard. Tyson looked surprised at the force of the blow, but quickly recovered and ordered Dragoon to charge.

"Dragoon, Galaxy Storm!"

"Devi Dranzer, emerge and show him a REAL bit beast!"

The air was suddenly turned into a sub-zero torrent of wind as the Ice phoenix emerged, towering over the battlefield and the spectators. Wyatt was right, Devi Dranzer WAS huge. Unlike Kai's Dranzer, Devi Dranzer was a mix of icy blue, sapphire, silver and black while Dranzer was crimson, gold and white. "Dragoon!" The Wind dragon emerged as well, but the phoenix was much larger in stature. Jessie was surrounded by a tornado of icy-cold wind, her eyes gleaming. It was then that the others realized that Jessie and Devi Dranzer both had the exact same eyes, one gray and one blue. Devi Dranzer encircled Jessie in its enormous wings as the air grew still more frigid.

"Dragoon, full power! Victory Tornado!"

"Devi Dranzer! Full power Ravage Blizzard!"

The Ice phoenix threw back its head, emitting a shrill, blood-chilling war cry before unleashing a massive blizzard, the hail, ice, and snow consuming everything in its path, canceling out Dragoon's tornado and slamming into the dragon with such amazing force that its roar of pain was drowned out by the howling wind that surrounded it. Somewhere in the blizzard, Jessie called it off to divulge Tyson's inert blade.

Several jaws dropped. Even Kai was impressed. Jessie picked up her blade and smirked. "Can't wait until boot camp tomorrow." Tyson whimpered.

"Not bad." Jessie looked over her shoulder. The blizzard had caught someone's attention, of course, who could miss it. Standing behind the Ice phoenix was none other than the Russian Team the Blitzkrieg Boys. "Long time no see, Tala." The redhead smirked.

"Hey Jaye, friends of yours?" Wyatt asked looking at the others.

"Something like that." Tala responded, then he turned to Tyson.

"Bit off more than you could chew, huh?" Jessie smirked.

"That's an understatement."

Jessie introduced Wyatt to her former team, the entire time Kai didn't utter a sound.

This is ridiculous, why am I getting all wound up just because she trained Wyatt and I didn't?

Because he wouldn't have taken that bit beast if you had.

NO. It wasn't my fault, he even said so.

He doesn't want you to blame yourself.

Shit. I just had an argument with myself.

It was going to be a loooooooooooonnnggg day.
