RTC: Well, I'm posting this much sooner than I'd anticipated. I got my three reviews (yay) and since this chapter was somewhat shorter than the others, it took less time to type. So here are the review responses:

Iluvbeyblade: I'm glad you liked it and I like putting in random bits of humour, to keep things light and interesting. I thought of that line, and thought you guys might like it.

(See Tyson, she thought what you said was funny; you're not a complete idiot.

Phoenix from the flames 1978: Thanks for reviewing, I'll keep it up.

Jellybean-kitty: I hope I'm updating soon enough. BTW, you've got an interesting pen name, what's the deal with that?

RTC: Disclaimer, please!

Max: Guess I'm stuck doing this today. Ray-Tiger-Cat does not, though she'd liked to, own Beyblade.

The Plan in Action

Ray's POV

"I can't believe you talked us into this so soon," said Tyson.

"Yeah, it probably would have been better for you to get some rest," I added.

"You guys thought this was a good idea and anyways, I'm fine," Kai insisted. I wonder what's up with him. He wanted to leave town so soon. Too soon if you ask me, but no one has so I'm not saying anything.

It's been two weeks since Kari got here and now we're all at the airport to fly to a city near my hometown.

"Anyway," said Kenny, hoping to avert an argument, "What are we going to do for training, Ray?"

"Well, my hometown has changed and now has some technology, so we're not going to stay in town too long. We're going to White Tiger Hills, which is pretty much the same as it was a hundred years ago, except there's a generator so we have electricity for cooking."

Our flight's being called.

"We'd better get on quickly," said Max, who was sipping an extremely large Coke.

"Uh-oh, Max, you're not drinking Coke, are you?" asked Hilary.

"Yeah, what's wrong with Coke?" asked Max as he pranced around on a sugar high. The rest of us sweat dropped and we all hurried on to the plane. We just made it and as soon as we sat down, Daichi announced that he was going to puke. This is going to be a long flight and I'm not sure I want to go home.

When the plane landed, several hours later, we got out and looked around.

"Ray, is someone supposed to pick us up?" asked Daichi.

"Nope, we're going to bike down to the village where I was raised," I replied.

"Bike!" everyone asked, "But we didn't bring our bikes!"

"Come on," I said, leading them outside. "Lee brought up some bikes and you guys brought your helmets for training. I found the bikes chained up, quickly unlocked them. Everyone got on a bike and put on their helmets.

"Hey, Ray," Kari called as we started riding, "Whose are all these bikes?"

"Well, five of them belong to me and the members of White Tiger X, two of them are extras that we keep in case of emergencies and the last one's Mariah's sister's," I replied.

A few minutes later Daichi shouted, "Oh man, you're kidding!" He was looking down a very large mountain area which we had to ride down.

"There is a trail," I said, "And the ride should only take about two hours, including rest breaks. Now, is anyone backing down?" No one did- not that I expected them to- but Kenny and Hilary looked nervous and Kari kept glancing at Ka worriedly. She worries to much sometimes, though I'm not sure if Kai could handle the ride, either.

Once they started riding, the others realized it wasn't so bad because we were riding downhill and the trip passed uneventfully.

Third Person POV (Normal POV)

When they got to Ray's village, it was a quarter to three Chinese time.

"I'm hungry," whined Daichi.

"Yeah, me too," agreed Tyson.

"After all the food you crammed down on the plane, how can you be hungry?" demanded Hilary.

"Relax, we're almost there," said Ray, interrupting their argument. Pretty soon they reached a small neighbourhood and Ray parked his bike and took off his helmet. The others followed suit. Ray walked to the front door and fished around in his pocket. He found his keys and opened the door. No sooner than they had all stepped inside, they heard a scream and something flew through the air, straight at them.

"Ahhhh! We're being attacked!" screamed Hilary.

RTC: Okay, you guys know the drill, three reviews and I'll update. I know this chapter wasn't as good or long as the others, but I'd still like your opinions. Oh, since no one answered last time, I'll ask again, would you like to see a fic about Kai's father's life (when he was around Kai's age) and the beginning of Biovolt? Please answer! Got to go, bye!
