Here's the next chapter, I wanted to wait a bit longer so I can get more reviews but that would be sefish of me so I updated for you guys that are waiting.

"France is way too romantic," said Kaiya who was complaining as they walk around France. No matter where they looked, they see a couple together or two together.

"It's disgusting me," said Makoto. Kaiya and Makoto haven't said a word to each other since their little incident about Makoto hitting on Kaiya. The two would talk to anyone else but each other.

They were still unable to contact Hiro but they were able to get a hotel thanks for some help from the BBA. Now the team is touring France but neither Makoto nor Kaiya wanted to go at first, yet, they didn't want to stay with each other at the hotel either so they came along. What bothered the team most was the tension between their team captains. They would glare at each other if their eyes meet or shove each other if their clothes touch and eventually, one would walk ahead of the group and the other would be behind the group. It was better considering that they aren't fighting everyone 5 minutes like they used to but, the silence is what's killing the team.

"…Maybe we should get them to talk to each other," said Rayna worriedly looking at Kaiya ahead of her and Makoto behind her.

"That would only cause trouble because if they tick each other off, it's going to be like a bomb setting off," said Gou.

"Yeah, I agree with Rayna. I mean, this is stupid, the two should LISTEN to EACH OTHER then maybe it'll work out," said Mark, purposefully making some of the words louder for Makoto and Kaiya to hear.

"But…it's their business, we shouldn't get involved," said Cam worriedly that if they butt into their businesses, they'll be the ones in trouble.

"Hey Mark! I would GLADLY listen if she's willing to listen to ME!" said Makoto still angry, able to tell from that tone of voice.

"Well, maybe you're not giving her the chance," said Mark slowing down to talk to Makoto, side by side.

"I've given her a lot of chances! She's the one not cooperating!"

"Oh yeah, Kinomiya?" Kaiya snapped tuning around making everyone stop in their tracks.

"Yeah! Got a problem with that?" Makoto asked, then plugged his ears and walked by her, ignoring her.

Kaiya's had enough,

"You know what? I don't care what you do, just stay out of my sight!"

"That's the first good idea you've had all day! I'm going to a restaurant!" said Makoto and walked off.

"Yeah! You go do that you pig!" Kaiya yelled after him and she walked off in the opposite direction.

"Uh…I'll go with Kaiya," said Rayna.

"I'll go with Makoto," said Mark.

"Me too!" said Cam going after Mark and Makoto.

"I'm with my sis," said Gou and followed Rayna and Kaiya.

"Meet back at the hotel okay?" Mark called to the other group,

"OKAY!" they replied.

"Stupid Makoto, thinking he knows everything! Stupid boys! With the exception of my brother and Mark. If I was in charge of this team I would've kicked that big-mouth off the team by now!"

"Stupid Kaiya! Curse her and all girls! With the exception of Cam and Rayna, who are actually nice. If Hiro let me in charge of the team I would've had her kicked off the team long ago!"

Kaiya's group's POV:

Rayna and Gou have been following Kaiya for about 15 minutes and she hasn't said anything. Heck, they don't even know where she's going.

"Hey Sis, where are we going exactly?" Gou asked.

"I don't know! I just want to-"

"Look out, Kaiya!" Rayna warned when Kaiya wasn't looking what's in front of her. When Kaiya turned back to look, she was already knocked back and on the ground.

"Ouch…Dang whoever did that!"

"Oh, pardon me. Are you okay, Miss?"

Kaiya looked up to see a boy about a year older reaching a hand out to her. He had straight shoulder-length green hair and emerald green eyes to match it. He had a long blue jacket with long sleeves, with a blue-green shirt, long white pants, and a cute smile.

Kaiya took the hand, which Gou found quite surprising. But she immediately released the hand when she was back on her feet.

"I'm fine, it was just a fall," said Kaiya dusting herself off.

"Don't mind her, she's always like that. Rude, mean, and grumpy," said Gou and received a glare from Kaiya.

"Oh really? You must be quite independent," said the boy.

"Of course! I don't need others to watch over and me. And how do you know how to speak our language?" Kaiya asked raising an eyebrow.

"I study English and Japanese and languages around Europe such as German and Italian, I heard you and your friends talking before you bumped into me. I was on my way to the museum. I'm still trying to figure out what my father likes about art so much," he said.

"Art is a great thing. Sometimes, it's hard to spot the true beauty in a piece of art," said Rayna.

"That what my father says. Art is not my thing but I respect it, along with cooking which I hate," said the boy.

"Whoever your father is, you seem to be the exact opposite of him," said Gou,

"Speak for yourself," said Kaiya.

"Yes, we are a lot different in our different interests. I think the only thing we have in common the most is that we both love to beybattle," said the boy nodding to Gou's comment.

"Cool! You beybattle! Us too," said Gou pointing at himself.

"Well that's interesting, there aren't a lot of girls here that beybattle, would one of you ladies kindly accept my challenge? The boy asked politely but with a smirk.

"Pass," said Kaiya.

"I would gladly battle you. I like battling different people and this would be my first battle in Europe," said Rayna.

"Well, that's good. Because this is one battle you won't forget, Miss…"

"My name is Rayna Kon, I came from China and I'm representing Japan with my team in the World Championships tournament," Rayna explained.

"I see…that's why you're here. My name is Quennel, it means dweller by the oak tree," said Quennel proudly.

"Yeah, and my name is Gou which means Strength," said Gou blocking the show-offy attitude from Quennel.

"Then we have my sister's name, Kaiya which means something about kindness which is quite ironic since she's the opposite of that meaning," said Gou pointing at his sister.

Makoto's group's POV:

"Makoto, can we please stop and rest?" Cam asked.

"Okay, fine," said Makoto after getting tired of the complaining. The three sat down on a bench watching people go by.

"…So Makoto, are you willing to work things out with Kaiya?" Mark asked.

"As if! She started it! She started everything!" Makoto shouted. Mark was about to argue back but a beybattle was heard.

There were some kids beybattling in a park, then they stopped and started pointing at someone but Makoto and the others couldn't tell who they were pointing at. The kids started chasing after that person.

"I wonder what that was all about," said Mark.

"Maybe it's some top-notch blader around here and they all want to challenge him, or her," said Cam.

"Yeah! If it's a top-notch blader then count me in!" said Makoto standing up and running after the crowd of kids. By the time Mark and Cam caught up with Makoto, there was the big crowd of people ranging from little kids to teenagers. Makoto, Mark, and Cam, had to squeeze their way through.

"We'll just have one round to determine the winner, is that alright?" a voice asked that was unfamiliar to Makoto and the other two.

"Sure!" came Rayna's voice.

The three continued pushing their way through.

"3-2-1-LET IT RIP!"

The three finally pushed themselves through and witnessed blades clashing in the air.

"RAYNA?" the three exclaimed.

She was standing on the right side of this huge beyblade dish and on the left is a boy.

Normal POV:

"Not bad, Miss Kon, I see the China bladers are quite skilled," Quennel compliment.

"You don't know how much we work to get so skilled, let's go Driger!"

"Gou!" Makoto cried running up to him,

"Oh hey guys," said Gou.

"What's going on? Why are you beybattling?" Cam asked worriedly.

"It's not big deal, she's battling for fun against Quennel," Gou explained.

"And why wasn't I challenged to a beybattle?" Makoto fumed.

"Maybe because you're weak and unattractive," said Kaiya who seems to have been invisible when she was quiet.

"…I hate you so much," Makoto growled and turned away from her.

"You have great control over your bit beast and you battle with beauty, grace, and skill! You might be as good as my father," said Quennel quite impressed.

"Well thanks, you're not bad yourself," said Rayna.

"But playing is over! Rise UNICOLYON!" Quennel shouted thrusting an arm up into the air calling forth his bit beast.

"Holy Horse! That thing's huge!" Cam exclaimed staring at the unicorn bit beast.

"DRIGER!" Rayna did the same calling forth the white tiger.

"You're bit beast won't stand a chance against mine so I'm afraid I'm going to have to beat you. Unicolyon! Dreaming Stomp attack!"

"Driger! Use Lightning Claw!" The attacks cancelled each other out giving a small explosion in the dish.

"Not bad, not bad at all. But I'm not planning to lose! Unicolyon! Attack!"

"Go for it Driger attack once more!"

The blades clashed and won't give in, the bit beasts danced in the air until finally…

"Driger! Use your Gatling Claw!"

The Tiger roared in response and attacks the unicorn with one of its most deadly attacks. The bit beasts disappeared and the two bladers looked into the dish to see both blades slowing down and gently bouncing off each other, but Quennel's blade rolled to astop, followed by Driger.

The people watching the battle gasped.

"Whoa, tough crowd," said Mark.

Quennel was quite surprised by this, but he picks up his blade and smiles,

"That was a great battle," he said sweetly. Rayna picked up her blade,

"Yes, it really was great wasn't it?" Rayna agreed.

"I'm glad your friend bumped into me, I wish you and your friends luck in the Russian tournament," said Quennel holding out his hand. Rayna took it and smiled. The two shook on good sportsmanship.

"WHAT? YOU'RE THE FRENCH MILLIONAIRE'S SON?" the team exclaimed when they reached Quennel's home. They were invited for a snack after the battle.

"Um, yes, I thought it was obvious," said Quennel,

"Well it obviously wasn't to certain people," said Kaiya shrugging.

"That was directed to me wasn't it?" Makoto asked but didn't wait for an answer. He walked ahead of the others.

"The tournament was cancelled because of the lack of blading skills here in Europe. My team is the most skilled but there aren't enough good and strong bladers out there. If we did continue on with the tournament, the Majestics would probably win it all," said Quennel taking a sip of his tea. He and the Blazing Bladebreakers were in what was most likely his living room on the most comfortable sofas and chairs ever.

"Majestics?" Mark repeated.

"My team. We're the best bladers in Europe and everyone knows that so we don't need to compete in this tournament," said Quennel coolly.

"Oh really? Alright then! I challenge you to a beybattle, Quennel!" said Makoto eagerly standing up and pointing to Quennel.

"Um, I think I'll pass up on your challenge," said Quennel and took another sip from his tea. Makoto anime falls.

"WHAT? Come on battle me! I'm not going to get any stronger unless I battle different opponents and learn from them!" Makoto urged and waited for the French's reply.

"Really? Is that the only reason why you want to beybattle me?" Quennel asked sensing that there's more to Makoto than meets the eye.

"I have other reasons too. But the Russian tournament will start in about a month and I want to be ready for it because I know the best of the best will be there! Since there's now no European tournament, I still want to get some practice in by beybattling one of the strongest bladers in Europe! That is, if you're telling the truth," said Makoto and everyone could see that he means every word of what he says. Quennel puts his cup down and stands up facing Makoto.

"Very well then," said Quennel and smirked.

In the backyard, Quennel had his own yellow beydish. A bigger one than the last one Quennel battled in. In the center of this dish is a small water fountain. And near the dish was a big oak tree...

"Interesting decorations," said Makoto noticing the center.

"It's a good idea to battle in different kinds of beyblade dishes to learn what to do in different kinds of situations," Quennel explained proving a good point.

"Guys…I want this to be a private match," said Makoto suddenly.

"…Are you feeling alright, Makoto?" Cam asked because Makoto is the kind of immature boys that want to show off his skills.

"Yeah, don't try and be cool by battling this on your own! Let us watch and help you during the battle!" said Mark trying to convince Makoto to let them watch.

"No, please. Just let this between me and Quennel. It's a…personal matter," said Makoto.

"Whatever, I don't want to watch any battle that has him in it anyway," said Kaiya leaving the yard.

"Oh come on, Kaiya. Don't be so mean to him," said Gou following her.

"Hmph! Yeah well I wouldn't watch any battle with you in it!" Makoto shouted after Kaiya.

Rayna respects Makoto's decision and followed the other two. Mark and Cam had to take more persuasion but they eventually left the two alone for their beybattle.

"I wonder who will win," said Cam to the others as they sat in the living room in silence.

"Of course Quennel, Makoto can't win a battle out of a paper bag," said Kaiya.

"You are so mean you know that?" Gou asked his sister.

"Of course," said Kaiya not thinking it was a big deal at all.

"The battle sure is taking a long time," said Rayna.

"It's only been ten minutes," said Mark looking at a wall clock.

"That is a considered long for a beybattle," said Cam.

Just then, Makoto jumped into the room.

"GUESS WHO WON?" he exclaimed.

"Quennel?" Kaiya asked and Makoto just glared. Then Kaiya got a good look at Makoto. He was a mess! Messy hair, dirty clothes, tears on his clothes, and a couple of scratches on his skin. Then Quennel walked in, he looked like he never beybattled at all! He wasn't as messed up Makoto looked.

"Sorry Miss Kaiya, Makoto defeated me," said Quennel.

"Yeah! And…I'm going to pass out now…" said Makoto and falls over. Luckily, Rayna and Gou caught him before he hit the ground.

"You're friend has a lot of energy and spirit, he just wouldn't give up the battle. He eventually destroyed that dish along with some of the flowers in the back yard but I can always buy a new one and plant new flowers," said Quennel shrugging.

"But how come Makoto looked like he fell off a mountain and you don't even have a scratch on!" Cam exclaimed.

"I was winning for the first 8 minutes but Makoto wouldn't quit, I was sure he was going to pass out from the hitting he was taking in but…he turned the battle around…" said Quennel who actually seemed quite embarrassed for his loss.

The next morning, Makoto wouldn't get up. He was so sore that he refused to get up. But eventually, the got him up and ready to leave.

"If you want to challenge the rest of us Majestics, Makoto; why don't you and your friends stop by Italy on your way to Russia?" Quennel suggested.

"Italy?" Makoto repeated raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, I have a friend there. His name is Dante and he's one of my team members as well. His father and my father are close friends so he and I like to train together when our father's visit each other. So he's just as strong as me and I warn you," said Quennel.

"Okay, I'm up for the challenge!" said Makoto with confidence.

"I don't have a picture of him or any of my team members since we see each other often so I can't show you what he looks like so you're going to have to find him on your own. But it shouldn't be that hard, he's as rich as me. Just look for a blonde rich boy that likes to beybattle. And I warn you ladies ahead of time about Dante's…bad habit," said Quennel looking over to Kaiya, Rayna, and Cam.

"What's this bad habit exactly?" Kaiya asked not liking the sound of that.

"Oh you'll see," said Quennel obviously saying that wasn't much of a warning.

"Will he really just say yes to a challenge?" Gou asked.

"If he doesn't, tell him you are friends of mine, or you can have your sister ask him and he'll gladly say yes," said Quennel.

"I'm not helping Makoto get stronger in anyway," said Kaiya strongly.

"It's okay, thanks for you help, Quennel!" said Makoto.

"Sure…just don't get to confident because you know how tough we are," said Quennel.

"Oh I won't but I'm not going to be losing either!" said Makoto confidently and turned around.

"Next stop: Italy and my next beybattle!"

Please R and R!

Next: The team arrived in Italy and searches for this Dante person. When they found him, the girls get annoyed and Cam gets scared, Makoto gets angry, Gou gets mad, glomped, and irritated, and Mark seems to be the only normal person around.
