Chapter five: Training and some sparks between the teens
It was a beautiful Sunday morning. The sun was already up in the sky. The girls were already awake. After they ate breakfast they went to their rooms to get their beyblades.
In Maya's room…
"Where did I put you, Felix?" Maya said quietly
She went to her bed and opened a drawer in her beside table. There were all kinds of magazines, mostly about music. Maya took all the magazines out of the drawer and there it was. In the right corner, there was a black and white beyblade.
"Long time no see, huh?" Maya smiled
She took her beyblade and went down the stairs into the living room.
In Christina's room…
"C'mon, where are you?" Christina searched nervously
She looked everywhere in her room. Her bed, wardrobe, shelves, desk, everywhere but she couldn't find it.
"Don't do this to me now" she said
After five minutes of searching, she finally found it in her backpack. Her beyblade was black and yellow.
"Still foxy, aren't we?" the blonde girl asked and went out of the room.
In Lyra's room…
Lyra quickly ran to her bed and bent under it. She pulled a big box and opened it. There was a big launcher and a white and dark blue beyblade. She took it out of the box and looked at it.
"We've got some practicing to do" she said and hurried down the stairs
In Sabrina's room…
Sabrina went and quickly jumped on her bed. She picked up her pillow and grabbed her black and red beyblade.
"Let's kick some ass" the purple haired girl said and ran off.
Back in the living room…
"Are we set to go?" Lyra asked
"Let's go, we can't be late" Christina said
Back with the boys…
"Wolborg, attack!" Tala yelled
"Finish him, Dranzer!" Kai shouted
The boys were already training. It was Kai vs Tala and Johnny vs Ozuma.
"Go, Salamalyon!" Johnny screamed
"Flash leopard, crash him down!" Ozuma yelled
"Hey, boys!" girls greeted
"Hi!"
In the moment Tala greeted back, his beyblade flew out of the arena.
"Hey! That wasn't fair! I wasn't ready!" Tala protested
"It's not my fault, you weren't ready. You should always be ready no matter what" Kai calmly defended himself
"Hello girls"
The match between Ozuma and Johnny has already ended in a tie.
"So girls, are you in for a challenge?" Johnny asked, grinning.
"Bring it on!" Christina answered
Christina and Johnny went to the first arena they saw and prepared their launchers.
"3, 2, 1…Let it rip!"
The beyblades were spinning rapidly and soon bumped at each other.
"Salamalyon, attack!" Johnny yelled
His beyblade hit Christina's beyblade with a powerful force and it bounced back a bit. In that very moment, Salamalyon arose from the beyblade, showing himself in all his glory. The girls were all stunned when they saw the beast. They didn't think it would be that powerful and big. It went straight at Christina's beyblade.
But in that second, her beyblade managed to prevent the attack. She took her chance and called out her beast.
"Foxana, show yourself!" she yelled
A beautiful fox arose from her beyblade and headed for the attack. Christina attacked with all her power she had.
"Foxana! Thunder attack!"
The sky suddenly got darker. It seemed like it's going to be a thunder storm. Foxana started to glow in a bright light and a moment later, thunder transformed into a thousand lightnings, heading straight into Salamalyon. There was a massive crash.
"Christina, Johnny! Are you ok?" Maya asked
The darkness disappeared as soon as the battle was over.
"Yeah, I'm ok" Johnny said as he got up
"Christina?" he asked worriedly
"I'm fine" she said
"Who won?"
They all looked at the bey stadium and saw Christina's beyblade still spinning, but Salamalyon was knocked out of the arena.
"Wow, Christina you won!" Lyra said happily
"I thought you weren't prepared, when you said you didn't train for two years. What's up with that?" Johnny asked, still surprised
"Well, maybe we were…..umm…training a bit" Miss Thunder confessed
"Training a bit! If you ask me, that was more than just "training a bit"!" Ozuma said loudly
"Wait, do the rest of you fight like Christina too? Because if you do, there is no point, because you will always win" Tala said
"Are you scared that a girl will defeat you? I thought you weren't afraid of a challenge" Tigress said, slyly watching the hot red haired boy.
"I'm not afraid of a challenge, especially if it's against a girl." Tala said, smirking
He pulled out his launcher and prepared himself.
"Ready to lose?" he said, with an evil smirk
"We'll see who's gonna lose" she returned the answer
"3, 2, 1……Let it rip!" they said together
The beyblades were spinning furiously at each other and soon they were attacking.
"Go, Felix!" Maya yelled
A great snowy leopard came out of the beyblade.
"Hyper fang!"
Felix went straight at opponent's beyblade to bite it with his sharp white fangs, but Wolborg quickly bounced to the other side and attacked from behind.
"I guess this will be just like in Cats and Dogs movie" Tala said confidently, while his Wolborg arose from the beyblade.
"I guess so. But this time, cats will win" Maya said back and called Felix
"Ice beam!"
Felix has just prevented Wolborg's ice arrow attack and attacked straight away. All of a sudden, ice beams came from Felix and attacked the wolf. He almost got frozen, and in that moment when he was still paralyzed, Felix took the chance and knocked out Wolborg.
Tala still couldn't believe what happened.
"How…?"
He got off the ground and picked up his and Maya's beyblade.
"I still can't believe, that you beat me. I guess cats won this time. But until the next time we battle, watch out" Tala said, looking straight into Maya's eyes. He smiled.
"She's so beautiful" he thought
"Don't worry, I'll watch out, alright. You should train more, if you want to win against me" she smiled
"Here, I believe this is yours. I didn't know that you girls have a bit-beast too" Tala handed over her beyblade, gently touching her hand.
She looked at him in his icy turquise eyes and took Felix.
"Hey guys, great match. Too bad Tala didn't win" Ozuma congratulated and added in a mocking voice
"I hope you learned your lesson" Kai said
"You should really train more"
"Aww, did poor little Tala lose against a girl?" Ozuma asked in a mocking voice again.
Before Tala could defend himself, Maya jumped in.
"How would you like to face me again, to prove you that we are stronger than you?" Maya defended Tala
Tala looked at Maya in a questioning look, and smiled meaning to say "thanks". Maya smiled back
"Why the hell did she defend me?" Tala asked himself
"I think she likes me too" He smirked at himself
"No, Maya. It's my turn now. I'll fight with you Ozuma" Sabrina decided
"Ok, as you wish, Saber" Tigress said
"Don't call me Saber, you know I hate that name" Sabrina said angrily.
"Fine, fine. Sorry" she apologized
"It's fine. C'mon let's battle" Sabrina said to Ozuma
"Ready?" he said
"Always" she said in a competitive voice.
"3, 2, 1….Let it rip!" Christina yelled.
Once again, the beyblades spun fiercely. They didn't waste any time and called their beasts.
"Flash Leopard, Cross fire!" Ozuma called
"Houndoom, flamethrower!" Sabrina yelled
Again, it was cats vs dogs. Sabrina's Houndoom was a black Doberman. He had the devil's tail and two horns on his head, turned back (just like at Gabriel, but much, much shorter. 30 cm)
"Fire against fire, huh?" she said
"I guess we'll play it that way, then." Ozuma said
Their beyblades were all fired up. It was a match about stronger attacks. To be specific, it was about the stronger fire attack.
"Flash Leopard, let's finish this! Flame buster!"
There was a quite big explosion and everyone thought it was over. But when the dust cleared away, they were both still spinning.
"What! But how…!" Ozuma yelled surprised
"I think your attack wasn't good enough. I should teach you a lesson or two. Houndoom, Fire blast!" she yelled
All around Houndoom was getting fired up. It looked like he was pumping himself with fire. When he was all pumped up, there was a real fire blast. The fire came from each centimeter of Houndoom. A massive explosion happened next. It blew Ozuma and Sabrina on the each side.
"They're not dead, are they?" Johnny asked stupidly, concerned about his friends
"No, we're not dead, we're fine" Ozuma said, while helping Sabrina.
"Thanks, Ozuma" she thanked and kissed him on the cheek
"No problem" he blushed
She smiled and went to the rest of the group.
"Wow, what was that all about?" Maya asked, while Sabrina went past her
"Nothing, just a peck on the cheek, that's all" Sabrina said quietly, blushing a bit
"I didn't mean the kiss, I was thinking about the match. But the thing about that kiss…. We'll talk about it later" Tigress said back
"Anyways, about the match, I just needed some action after those two years, that's all" she said carelessly
"Typical her" Christina said to the group, when Sabrina went to sit down by the tree.
"What do you mean?" Ozuma asked, finally able to speak
"I meant to say, that she's naturally wild. And this all action thing, it's her nature" the blonde answered
"Great! Just the girl I want. No wonder she plays drums, she's got a lot of energy" Ozuma thought
"Well guys, how does it feel now, when you got beaten by girls?" Maya asked, smiling.
"Umm….pretty bad, actually" Tala laughed
"That's because you weren't paying enough attention" Kai suddenly said
"And you would?" Lyra asked, surprising everyone because she was quiet that day
"Yea I would. They underestimated you. I wouldn't" Kai said, looking into her blue eyes
"You meant to say, you WON"T underestimate me." Lyra said challenging Kai with her prepared launcher
"Let's see what'cha got, then" he smirked, which was one of his rare smirks
"3, 2, 1…Let it rip!"
"I've figured out your strategies, you know. Your first attack is always less powerful than the second one" Kai said knowingly
"Correct. You're smart, Kai. But you haven't discovered our full power yet." Lyra said back.
"What are you waiting for?" He asked
"I'm saving my energy for emergencies" the dark blue haired girl said
"Luna, supersonic!" She yelled
The snowy owl Luna began to create highly frequented sounds. They were very screechy. It totally stopped Kai's Dranzer from attacking Luna. He was paralyzed for a moment and shook his head to clear his mind. But that moment was his doom or at least it seemed so.
"Luna, snowy tornado!"
A great tornado began to storm in the arena. Dranzer almost got blown away, because he was still a bit paralyzed, but in the last moment he managed to hold himself strong. Lyra saw that it didn't have any attack on Dranzer and decided to repeat it again. This time, Kai attacked too.
"Dranzer, Flame saber!"
"Luna, Snowy tornado again!"
Now it was a tornado mixed with fire and snow. It looked very weird, but very strong. It was so windy, that Kai and Lyra barely stood on their feet. The tornado was getting bigger and scarier, but it didn't move out of the arena. The beyblades were spinning madly in the middle, attacking one other. Everything was getting impossible to see, because of all the fire and snow. The rest of the group was stunned at the tornado, now impossible to see. Lyra and Kai couldn't stand on their feet anymore, that's because they got blown away on each side of the arena. In the next few seconds, there was heard a big "boom" and everything was clearing again. Both, Kai and Lyra on their feet again, stared at the arena. Luna and Dranzer were stopped in the middle of the arena.
"Hey Lyra, are you ok?" Kai asked, concerned
"Yea, I'm fine, don't worry" she assured him
"Hey look, it's a tie" Sabrina said, breaking the silence
"I guess there's finally someone who took the battle seriously and carefully" Tigress said, impressed
"Hey, we took our battles seriously too" Johnny said, offended
"You did, but not serious enough" Christina said to him
"C'mon guys, your battle skills are awesome, but you just have to train more and improve your attacks. The reason to our success is physical training. You know that we train fighting stuff, which will come in hand when we meet with Jack again" Lyra explained
"Yeah, I think you should do the same" Sabrina added
"Physically, we are prepared. Need us to prove it?" Ozuma said proudly, showing his muscles
The girls were stunned and satisfied at the same time. Especially Sabrina, because she fancied Ozuma. The boys saw their stunned faces and Tala quickly added.
"You know, we're all prepared physically, not just Ozuma"
The girls smiled. He tried to make an impression on Maya and the girls. It seemed to work on Maya.
"Good, then. I suppose you guys can fight?" Maya asked still dreaming about Tala's muscles.
"Well, I guess we do. But not as good as you of course" Kai made a compliment
"Nice. I guess Maya and Christina will have six new students then" Lyra said, looking at Kai
"No, what! What do you mean six new students?" Christina asked surprised
"I meant us six, Sabrina, Ozuma, Tala, Kai, Johnny and me" Lyra explained counting all the names in a sarcastic tone
"No way. We can't teach six people at one time. Besides you two know some things already, there's no point teaching you again." Maya said, surprised too
"Sure we know, SOME things, but not much. And by the way, me and Lyra are physically prepared , coz we play instruments. That takes a lot of energy" Sabrina said
"Yeah, right. It takes a lot of YOUR energy with drums" Christina mumbled, luckily Sabrina didn't hear that
"Right. So you want us to teach you how to defend yourselves if Jack comes?" Christina asked a question with an obvious answer.
"Yep, that's right"
"Ok…..We don't have a choice, huh? Ok, we'll teach you. But you'll have to do whatever we say" Tigress said making a decision.
"Sure thing, Tigress. I think we should start right away" Tala said, calling Maya by her nickname, which made Maya look at him
"Right now? I don't think so. It's late and tomorrow is the damned school. We could train this every day after school, if it's ok with you guys?" the black haired girl said
Everybody nodded in agreement.
"Ok, then. We'll see you tomorrow in school. Good night"
"Night!"
The girls walked back home and started a conversation.
"So, Sabrina, what was that kiss all about?" Maya asked, smirking
"It was nothing. He just helped me stand up, so I gave him a peck on the cheek." She blushed
"I think somebody's fallen in love!" Christina almost sang
"No, I'm not!" Sabrina lied
"What about Maya and Tala? Don't lie to me, I saw you two, always looking at each other" Sabrina tried to distract them
"What! Am I forbidden to look?" I can't help it, he's got those icy turquise eyes!" Maya defended herself
"Which you love so much!" Lyra teased
"Oh! But what's going on between you and Kai? You are both quiet, but strong at words. And the way you look at him….I think you know what I'm talking about!" Christina smirked evilly
"Hey, there's nothing between me and Kai!" Lyra lied and protested at the same time
"Hey Christina, let's talk about you and Johnny then. You guys are a perfect match. Johnny was so worried, when your arm was injured, huh?" Sabrina teased
"So what, at least somebody was!" Christina defended herself
"Oh, just admit it already! You've fallen in love with Johnny!" Maya said
"I'll only admit it, if you will" the blonde girl said
The girls looked at each other nervously for a moment
"Well?"
"Umm….Ok, fine"
"Yes! Ok, I admit it. I like Johnny a lot, happy?" Christina smiled and blushed
"Aww! I knew it! I knew it! I think he likes you too!" Sabrina yelled
"Really! You think so?" Christina asked and began to dream about Johnny
"Ok, your turn Sabrina" she snapped out of her dream
"Fine. I've fallen in love with Ozuma. He's just like me, and those muscles……"Sabrina blushed
"Aww! Next! Maya!"
"Ok. Umm…"
"C'mon girl, admit it! We know you love him! You couldn't take your eyes off him and the way he wanted to impress you….." Christina said
"Fine, fine. He's so handsome and cute! Man, I love his eyes!" Tigress almost yelled
"Ok, and the last one to admit some thing is, Lyra"
"C'mon admit it! Admit it! Admit it! You love him! You love him!"
"Ok. Ok. Maybe I do….." Lyra said quietly and smiled
"Aww! You naughty girl you!" Christina laughed
The girls didn't notice that they've already come to their house. They were all very tired so they went straight to bed. That was a great day, wasn't it?
