Title: Friends and Foes
Everything was silent, the only sound there was, was the sound of the rain tapping against the window of the stadium. Then suddenly, the peace and quiet was quickly interrupted as five mysterious figures walked into the stadium.
"Ah Chow!" Sincerity sneezed
"You have a funny sneeze." Hilary told her
Sincerity was about to protest when she sneezed again.
"You have to stay in bed young lady!" Hilary told her tucking her in.
"I can't" Sincerity said forcing herself out of bed.
Hilary pushed Sincerity back into bed.
"You aren't going anywhere young lady." Hilary got serious
"There's a match today and I have to be there."
"Too bad!" Hilary snapped back while sticking a thermometer in her mouth "you should think twice before staying out in the rain."
Sincerity felt her heart sink.
The Bladebreakers ran down the hall as fast as they could.
"Mister Dickinson!" Kenny called out as they approach
"Kenny!" M. Dickinson
"What happened here?" Tyson asked shocked at what he saw
"I don't know, I arrived here this morning and this is what I found." M. Dickinson told them.
"Here's Sincerity?" Daichi asked looking around curiously, which caught Kai's attention.
"Young Sincerity is sick today, Hilary called in saying she has a cold." M. Dickinson explained.
Kai then turned around and walked away.
"Hey buddy! Where are you going?" Tyson asked calling after him, "The match starts in two hours."
"You can do it without me." Kai said walking away.
"This isn't normal." Ray said examining the ground
"Who could this have happened?" Max asked
"I'm afraid today's tournament is cancelled." M. Dickinson apologized
"No way!" Tyson said in disbelieve, "why don't we play without the stadium?" Tyson suggested.
"We want to beyblade outside?" M. Dickinson asked
"No, that's not what I meant. Why don't we play in the stadium where it's held but not have a plate."
"So you're suggesting blading without boundaries? M. Dickinson asked finally catching on.
"Yeah, that's a good idea." Max jumped in
"I would have to speak to the others, but the rules will have to be changed."
"We can deal with that." Tyson said with confident.
Kenny had a worried look on his face as he observed the destroyed stadium.
Tala's on his way to Sincerity's house, when he arrived in front of her house he saw Kai standing there.
"What are you doing here?" Tala asked surprised
"What are you doing here?" Kai returned the question.
"I thought she said to stay away from her." Tala said remembering what Sincerity had told him.
"The problem's between Sincerity and me is none of your problems." Kai said
"I bet you're the one that made Sincerity sick" Tala said in disgust.
"I bet Sincerity thinks of you as a big bother." Kai said
"Who likes a guy like you who doesn't have a life?" Tala asked his voice getting louder
From inside Hilary can hear the argument going on, afraid that they're going to wake a finally sleeping Sincerity, she made her way outside.
"A guy who lets people experiment on them is the ideal guy these days." Kai said
"Enough!" Hilary yelled over them as she got out. "Sincerity is sick in bed, can't you two be thoughtful and let her have her rest?" Hilary asked
"How's Sincerity?" Kai asked Hilary ignoring Tala
"She has a cold, she has high fever." Hilary informed them
"Can I see her?" Tala asked pushing Kai away.
"ENOUGH!" Hilary's voice got louder. "Leave her alone! If you both like her then you know what's best for her in her current condition. You can stay outside in this rain and fight or help Sincerity with her chores." Hilary told them
Kai and Tala both looked at each other then turned away and hesitated and made their way into Sincerity's house.
"I spoke to the others and they think the idea is a great idea." M. Dickinson informed the Bladebreakers.
"Yeah!" they all cheered.
"Today, you guys are going against the team that won last round." M. Dickinson informed them. "I'm going to drop by Sincerity's house after the tournament you are welcome to come with me." M. Dickinson changed the subject.
"That would be great." Kenny said looking foreword
"We can tell her that we won!" Tyson said happily
"But we haven't won yet." Daichi said a little confused.
They all started laughing leaving little Daichi still confuse.
Kai and Tala were both helping Hilary clean up Sincerity's house. Hilary watched as Kai and Tala cleaned their assigned area.
"You guys really like Sincerity don't you?" Hilary asked looking at both of them.
The two guys stopped then continued.
"Sincerity and I was just friends." Kai said
"Sincerity and I are really close." Tala said.
Hilary looked at both of them, remembering what Sincerity had told her about Voltaire's threat.
"Just don't get to close to Sincerity." Hilary told them and decided to check on Sincerity.
A few minutes later Hilary ran back into the living room.
"Sincerity's missing!" Hilary said out of breath.
The battle has been going on for about an hour already. The Bladebreakers were leading, and Max was up. As the rest of the team cheered Max on from the side lines, Kenny received an e-mail from Hilary. As Kenny finish reading the e-mail Max won. As Max walked over to them Kenny dropped the bomb.
"Sincerity's missing." Kenny said concerned as everyone looked at him shocked.
Great job" The captain of Team anonymous said evilly. "Today is the semi finals, we have to win." the captain said
The rest of the team all nodded and headed out to the stadium.
Sincerity ran out in her pj's in the middle of the rain. 'I feel great power' Sincerity reminded herself why she was doing what she was doing. Sincerity ran to the beyblade stadium were the tournament was happening. And were Tyson and the other were.
"How can Sincerity be missing?" Tyson asked
"Hilary said she, Tala and Kai were doing her chores when Hilary went to check on Sincerity and she wasn't in her bed." Kenny explained
"Where could she have gone to?" Ray asked making some sense out of it
"Who knows," Kenny said, "She also has high fever."
"How can Sincerity be so stupid?" Hilary said as she, Tala and Kai joined them.
They all formed a plan to find Sincerity when the announcement of part one of the semi finals was announced. They all decided to take a look, to see who was beyblading. To their surprise they found Sincerity in her pj's up in the balcony looking like a leaf, moving back and forth. When Team Anonymous appeared in the stadium Sincerity's eye grew wide open. Sincerity too feverish to think, jumped off the balcony and landing in front of the team captain.
"Vivi, what are you..." Sincerity started and fainted, luckily Kai was there to catch her when she fell.
They immediately rushed her to the hospital. A few hours as past and the rain outside has finally lifted, the sun was weak outside and it was damp. Another hour has pasted and doctors kept on walking in and out of Sincerity's room. Finally a doctor walked up to them.
"You guys were right to send her to the hospital, she was pneumonia. But her condition is not ordinary, her fever won't stop rising, it's like she's carrying fire inside of her. We have to keep her here for a while." The doctor explained.
"Can we see her?" Tala asked
"You can but she's really weak, she's not able to open her eyes." The doctor informed them.
Everyone went into Sincerity's room, the found Sincerity in the hospital bed with a mask on, breathing heavy. Kai couldn't stand it and left, Tala walked over and grabbed her hands. And to his surprise she moved her finger. Later that day, Voltaire showed up.
"Poor Sincerity" Voltaire said pitting her
"What are you doing her?" Tala asked
"Just dropping by, wishing her well." Voltaire said evilly.
"Well you can leave now" Tala said asked him to leave.
"I'm going, but don't screw up this perfect moment." Voltaire said as he walked out.
Tala looked at Sincerity wondering what he mean.
I don't think we should have left Sincerity." Hilary said regretting leaving her.
"She'll be fine." Tyson reassured her. "Tala's there with her."
"That's what I'm afraid of!" Hilary said out loud
"What are you saying?" Tyson asked
"Nothing" Hilary said wishing her hadn't burst
"Tala's a nice guy" Tyson said confused at her outburst
"Sincerity shouldn't be left alone with Tala nor Kai." Hilary said upset
"Why?" Kenny asked
"Sincerity was threatened by Voltaire." Hilary explained
"Who's Voltaire?" Daichi asked
"Voltaire is an evil man, he's Kai's grandfather." Kenny explained
"So that's where he got his temper and attitude." Daichi said understanding.
"What did Voltaire threaten Sincerity with?" Ray asked
"Voltaire thinks that Kai is not training and is spending too much time thinking about Sincerity. So he went to Sincerity and asked her to marry Tala or else he's going to ruin Kai's life." Hilary explained
"Kai likes Sincerity?" Daichi asked a little upset.
"Sincerity likes Kai?" Tyson asked
"No, Sincerity considered Kai like a rival and Tala a close friend, but Voltaire has to go a ruin it. Now Tala and Kai are both fighting with each other for Sincerity's heart. And she's clueless." Hilary said
"So what did Sincerity do?" Max asked
"Sincerity decided to marry Tala." Hilary said
"Sincerity isn't from this world though." Kenny said remembering his conversation with Sincerity.
"Sincerity can't get back until she gets this thing called the jewel of Destiny and she can't return until she finds true love." Hilary explained
"How is it that you know all this?" Tyson asked impressed
"I spend too much time with her." Hilary said
"We have to help Sincerity" Ray said
"Sincerity's running out of time." Max added.
"She has to get out of her" Kenny said
"But what can we do?" Daichi asked
"What was Sincerity doing in the stadium this morning?" Kenny asked
"Team Anonymous, the captain!" Hilary remembered, "she said her name was Vivi right?" Hilary asked
"Yeah..."
"Vivi, Sincerity's enemy. Vivi and Sincerity are rivals. Vivi had a fiancé but her fiancé fell in love with Sincerity and Sincerity fell in love with him. Sincerity of course fights for good while he fought for the bad side. In the mean time her fiancé's little brother has a crush on Sincerity, but Sincerity just considered him as a friend. One day Vivi's fiancé fell ill and the only was to save him is to go to the other dimension thing to get it. But the younger brother was killed and Vivi's fiancé disappeared." Hilary told them "Or something along those lines"
"Wow, that girl really is clueless when it comes to love." Max said
"So you're saying Vivi is out to seek revenge?" Daichi asked a little confused
"Yeah, but she hasn't been successful." Hilary explained
"You must really have spent a lot of time with her for you to know all this on her." Tyson said impressed.
"We have to first get the jewel of destiny for her, and then help her fall in love." Hilary planned out.
"Ok, but how are we going to get close to the opponent?" Tyson asked
"Sincerity mentioned once that Vivi is really competitive and must get everything Sincerity has or wants." Hilary remembered
They all thought for a moment then suddenly...
"Kai!" Tyson said out loud
"What about Kai?" They all asked
"Kai likes Sincerity, Kai is stubborn, Vivi attracted to Kai, Kai lure Vivi, get jewel save Sincerity!" Tyson said
"You need to learn to speak in full sentences." Hilary said still figuring out what he just said.
"How are we going to asked Kai to help us without telling him about Sincerity?" Ray asked
"Haven't thought about that yet." Tyson said "I knew I forgot something."
They all began to think of other ways.
A week has past since the incident. Sincerity regained her strength but not completely. Voltaire stopped but a few time to make sure she was far way from Kai. Tala and Sincerity spend more time together. Voltaire then threatens Tala into proposing to Sincerity but Tala refused. Voltaire got really angry that this plan backfired but vow he will get him back for that. Voltaire felt leaving Tala questioning him.
"I'll finally being discharged!" Sincerity said happily as Tala walked back into the room
"We have to celebrate" Tala said happy too
"What should we do?" Sincerity asked
"Go out, maybe watch the tournament today. The finals are going up." Tala told her.
"That sounds fun!" Sincerity said happily.
As Sincerity and Tala left the hospital Sincerity felt relived and free.
"It fells good to breath clean air." Sincerity said enjoying herself.
Tala enjoys watching Sincerity happy.
"What are you guys doing here?" Hilary asked Sincerity
"I was discharged today." Sincerity said happily.
"Are you alright?" Hilary asked concerned
"I'm fine" Sincerity said with a smile.
As the announcer announces the beginning of the finals everyone sat down. As the Bladebreakers made their way to the center of the stadium Sincerity sat in the side lines with Hilary and Kenny. As they all await Team Anonymous the lights went out, then suddenly it went back on. And at the entrance from the hallway stood five figures each one of them covered in rages. As the tournament began Sincerity felt unease, as one of the member of Team Anonymous step up the battle began. Daichi was the first one up, the battle started off fine until Team Anonymous' beyblade tear up the plate. The Bladebreakers watched in surprise.
"Those are the same marks in stadium A!" Kenny said in shock.
Sincerity looked at Vivi and notices the jewel of destiny glowing.
"She's using the power of the jewel to control the blade." Sincerity said
"Isn't that cheating?" Hilary asked
"It is if other people believe in it." Sincerity said
"What are we going to do?" Hilary asked
Daichi was exhausted, he's almost defeated.
"Every jewel of destiny was a weakness." Sincerity said
"Great!" Kenny and Hilary said excited
"What is it?" Ray asked
"I don't know" Sincerity said
Everyone felt as if their last hope slipped away.
"The good news is that the jewel has a limit power source. It can't be activated for long." Sincerity explained
"And how long can that jewel..."
"I don't know" Sincerity said focusing her eyes on the jewel, " All I know is that I have to get that jewel before you guys loose your title as the world champ."
"Geeze thanks, you saying that make us fell much better." Hilary said sarcastically
As Daichi's blade flew out of the plate, Sincerity walked up from behind and grabbed the jewel without Vivi noticing. As the second round started, that's when they realized that the blades weren't controlled.
"Oh yeah, if you guys think we are going to loose the world champ title, think again." Tyson said almost yelling it out.
