ok, I go on vacation next week for about two weeks. Just a heads up before you're forced to kill me because of the wait. And i still don't own Beyblade.

Chapter 27: Tag Teaming

"Beyblading is made out of hard work and determination." A mother said to her children.

"I thought it was made out of tops." Her son piped up. The mother laughed.

"That too." She agreed. "And one day, when you get a good connection to your beyblade, you'll get a gift for it."

"What can it give you?" asked her daughter. The mother smiled.

"A piece of itself."

When the stadium finally got re-fixed from Chaos' damage, the two teams were called back and so were the people (if they hadn't been traumatized from that last event).

"All right, you guys. Ray and Tysa are our last two 'bladers. Any objections?" Kenny asked the group in the locker room. "No's" were given by the team when Mr. Dickenson came into the locker room.

"Sorry to disturb you boys—and girl." Mr. Dickenson quickly added. "I was thinking I would try something new, considering there are only two 'bladers left."

"What is it, Mr. D.?" Tyson asked.

"Well, I was thinking that the remaining two 'bladers could tag team."

"Could what?" Tysa asked, confused.

"It's alright, Tysa. I'll help you." Ray offered.

"Ok…"

"So, are there any disagreements?" Mr. Dickenson asked. More "No's" were given. "All right then. Good luck to you." Mr. Dickenson left and closed the door.

"So…what's tag teaming?" Tysa asked.

"It's when two 'blades fight against the other two." Max told her.

"Oh." Tysa nodded, understanding. She glanced at Kai, who didn't even look at her, then she looked back to Ray, who smiled.

If feelings were told in a day…Tysa thought.

Al, the third team member for the Flyers, was walking to the bathroom at that moment, unaware that he was being targeted. He whistled peacefully as he washed his hands, and saw a girl in black in the bathroom mirror.

"Hey!" he yelled as he turned around. "You're not supposed to be—ummph!" Chaos quickly punched him, knocking him unconscious.

"Ooo, sorry, darling. I need to use this body of yours for a bit." She said as she took out his beyblade. The giant silver albatross glistened in her hand. Chaos smirked and took out her own beyblade. A dark power went from her 'blade to his and the silver albatross glowed black for a minute, then back to normal. "Perfect." She smiled. Then she put her hand on Al's forehead.

"Wakey wakey, Alban." She cooed. Al's eyes opened blankly. "Now, I need you to do me a favor…."

"Hey, Al, what's up—hey! Aren't you a girl?" Chaos turned around to see Zamir, another member of the Flyers. "Hey! Is he ok?" Zamir ran up to his friend.

"Oh, he's fine." Chaos smirked. "And you'll be joining him."

"Huh?" As soon as Zamir looked up, Chaos knocked him unconscious as well. Then, she did the same process to Zamir and his gold oriole-like bit-beast.

"Well, that qualifies as easy." Chaos smirked. "Good luck, my other half. You're going to need it. Now, to get out of here." She snapped her fingers and was gone.

"Welcome, to the last round of the semi-final match!" DJ yelled (although they had to pay him a lot to come back…) " We have Ray and Tysa facing off against Alban and Zamir!" Zamir and Alban began snickering evilly. Tysa shuddered a bit.

"What's wrong, Tysa?" Ray asked as they walked up to the ring. Tysa shook her head.

"It's nothing, really. I'm fine."

"Haven't you learned you can't keep anything from me?"

"I…I'll tell you later." Tysa told him. Ray looked at her suspiciously, but nodded. Tysa turned to the ground.

I…I feel funny…like I'm sensing something…some kind of…evil aura…Tysa looked at the stands. Chaos? Chaos smirked from her spot in the shadowed hallway.

You need to prove yourself, Tysa. Show me you're worthy of being my opposite. Chaos thought. Tysa shuddered a bit.

"Now, 'bladers ready?" DJ announced. "3, 2, 1! Let it Rip!" The two beyblades clashed with the other two fiercely. Alban and Zamir snickered evilly. Then, their beyblades went straight for the Kairi.

"Hey!" Tysa yelled as the beyblades ran the Kairi against the edge of the ring.

"Driger!" Ray's blade knocked the other two blades away swiftly.

"Thanks, Ray." Tysa said.

"Don't thank me yet." Ray looked at the other two 'blades as their bit-beasts started to come out. From her hiding place, Chaos scowled.

Damn that cat. She thought. That was her test…oh well. Chaos turned around and walked away as the bit-beasts showed their form. They now have more than both of them can handle.

"Holy—"

"Tysa!" Ray snapped Tysa out of her gawking.

"Huh?" Tysa stared at Ray.

"Focus!"

"Oh, yeah."

"Go, Trosscan!"

"Go, Aquipa!" Alban and Zamir called their bit-beasts (aren't the names so original?)

"What?" Tysa gasped quietly. She saw a dark aura around the gold and silver birds.

"What is it, Tysa?" Ray asked.

"Can't you see it?"

"Huh?" Ray looked at the bit-beasts. "I don't see anything…" Tysa looked behind her at the team, who seemed normal.

I'm the only who sees it…

"Driger!" Ray's white tiger bit-beast came out and started to attack the other two blades.

"Kairi!" The two white beyblades started mirroring each other in the attack.

"Wow, I would almost say those beyblades were related or something" Hilary pointed out. The actions of the two beyblades caught Chaos' attention just as she was about to leave.

"What…?" she moved closer to the match. Her silver eyes twinkled with curiosity. "How…interesting." She smirked. "Tysa's more like me than I thought…more or less." Chaos put her back to the wall and looked at Kai. "You have some work to do Kai. I suggest you act fast."

Meanwhile, in the stadium, Zamir's and Alban's bit-beasts took every hit that the Driger and Kairi shot at them. The owners laughed evilly again.

"This isn't working." Ray scowled.

"No kidding." Tysa agreed.

"Try your Chaos End."

"What? But I haven't done that in…ever."

"Just try it."

"Looks like their giving up." Zamir taunted.

"You haven't seen anything yet!" Ray said back.

"Yeah!" Tysa said. "Kairi!" Please work… "Chaos End!" The Kairi started to form a wind, but stopped. "Huh?"

"Her attack didn't work?" Max asked in disbelief. That took Kai's attention. He looked up in the stands and saw Chaos in the hallway. She smirked at him. He scowled.

She must be stopping Tysa's attack…

"Why isn't it working?" Tysa asked in disbelief. She knew she hadn't even done the attack ever since that Hún Dún person beat her, but even still…

"Was that your best attack?" Alban asked. Tysa scowled, but looked down in a mix of disappointment and anger. Ray looked at her compassionately, then quickly turned back to the battle.

"Driger!" The Driger quickly attacked the two beyblades and bit-beasts on it's own.

Kairi…why? Tysa thought as the Driger continued to attack on it's own. What's going on? Why am I suddenly horrible at everything I do? After a while, Driger received a great amount of damage from the beyblades. Chaos sighed and turned to walk away.

Now I see all you can do, Tysa. It's almost shameful.

ok, this might be a problem. Dun Dun Duunnnnn!
