Hey all readers. I think it's obvious that the names of the Bladebreakers in this story are not mine. However, Sam Coredori and her bitbeast Drazema. Along with the team the Carnivora Catz and their bitbeasts are all mine so please don't take them without my position. Thanks bb4564

Chapter 2: Time for Training!

"Tyson! Would you please wake up!?" Kenny cried in annoyance early Thursday morning. Tyson laid spread out over his bed, his arms dangling lifelessly over the edge. His butt was pointing straight up in the air, his legs tucked beneath him in an 'L' shape holding his butt's weight. His dark blue hair was tangled in a mess, his grey-blue fringe tangled with the rest. A small trickle of drool dribbled from his open mouth, onto the pillow that was half hanging off the bed. Kenny sighed and looked at his laptop that was sitting on the dresser beside the bed. "What now Dizzi?" Dizzi appeared on the screen. "I don't know Chief," Dizzi replied, noticing the still sleeping Tyson, "I don't think anyone or anything could wake him up." Kenny groaned. They were going to be late and Kai was going to kill them – well Tyson anyway.

A knock sounded at the door and Kenny went to answer it. Max and Ray were waiting patiently at the door. "Let me guess," Max said, the minute the door opened," he's still not up yet?" Kenny shook his head, running his fingers through his light brown hair.

"May I?" Ray asked, pointing towards the bedroom. Kenny stepped back allowing Ray and Max to enter, before leading the way into the bedroom, where Tyson hadn't moved a single muscle.

The minute he entered, Max shook his head, a few strands of blonde hair falling over his face, covering his dark blue eyes. "There is no way that's comfortable," he said, indicating to Tyson's sleeping form. "Or healthy," Ray added, his wild black hair held back by it's usual red bandana displaying the ying-yang symbol.

"Kai's going to kill him," Max commented walking towards the bed.

"You mean he's not dead already?" Dizzi's sarcastic voice rang out, "maybe you'd better check."

"Morning Dizzi," Max greeted cheerfully.

"Morning Max."

Just then a loud roar echoed around the room, followed a split second later by a beep from Kenny's laptop. "Right on time," Dizzi responded. "What was that?" Ray asked, looking around for the source. "Tyson's snore," Kenny replied breezily.

"Are you sure?" Ray questioned, eyeing Tyson closely. Kenny nodded.

"Yep, he does that about every hour."

"You time them?!?" Ray replied in disbelief.

"Of course." Ray just shook his head in a combination of amusement and disgust. Max was studying Tyson's sleeping form while all this was going on. Ray and Kenny walked up behind him to see what he was doing. "I think I know how to wake him up," Max declared. This caused everyone to stare at him in shock. "Then please do," Kenny replied, "while I get the trophy ready." Max rolled his eyes before climbing onto the bed behind Tyson. Resting his foot on Tyson's tailbone, he then extended his leg quickly, sending Tyson flying headfirst into the wall. "Owww!!!" Tyson screamed sitting up and rubbing his head, while Kenny, Ray and Max cringed at the pain that ran through their ears. Dizzi of course was laughing uncontrollably.

Tyson glared at all four of them as he continued to rub his head. "What's the big idea, guys?" Tyson demanded, his dark blue eyes almost black with rage. Kenny looked at Ray, and Ray looked at Max. "Yeah Max. What was the big idea?" Ray echoed, turning to look at Max, hands on his hips. Tyson's deadly gaze immediately locked onto Max, who was desperately trying to think of a good excuse for the 'early wake-up call' he had just given Tyson. "Ummm…Ahhh…Hmmm…April Fools?" Max suggested hopefully. Tyson's eyes narrowed dangerously.

"That was two days ago, Max," Tyson replied through gritted teeth. A split second later his face paled. "Wait...that means today's the third right?"

"This boys a genius," Dizzi exclaimed sarcastically, "April first plus two days equals April third. How does he do it?" Tyson's eyes darted over to Dizzi, who only laughed cheekily at him.

Tyson decided to just ignore him and jumped to his feet. "Why didn't you guys wake me up sooner? We're going to be late for training. Kai's going to kill us!" With that he grabbed some clothes and darted into the bathroom to change, nearly knocking Ray over in the process.

Kai lent leisurely against the pillar in the lobby. His eyes were closed and his arms were folded across his well-toned chest, his dark blue hair shading his face as he waited for the others to arrive. At the moment they were all staying at a stylish hotel in Tokyo, Japan. They had just competed in a small tournament there and although they had won, Kai wasn't happy with the results of his team. So today they started training for the Championships in Germany. And he looked forward to torturing the others, especially Tyson, in the next hour to come. With the tournament approaching, they would have to be going and getting their newest member from Hong Kong but until then he had an entire morning to devote to hard training.

Kai smiled and closed his eyes as he thought about the fun he was going to have getting stuck into Tyson. He didn't notice the others approach until Ray spoke up, "What's so funny Kai?" Kai's maroon eyes opened and he looked up at Ray, noticing him for the first time. Kai closed his eyes again and rested his head on his chest. He chuckled to himself then looked up again, his gaze taking in his whole team but focusing on Tyson. "I was just thinking of all the long hours of training we'll be doing. You know early rises, hard training, light meals…" Kai could have gone on for ages, but Tyson couldn't take anymore. With a groan he fell to the ground in a dead faint. Almost all of the people walking past looked over at him in wonder, concerned for his health. That is until Tyson started babbling about boys need for sleep and food… then it was utter disgust as they continued on their way.

Kai looked at Tyson and then quickly looked away, trying to look his best as if he didn't know him. Max on the other hand was trying hard to get Tyson off the ground. He finally succeeded by mentioning 'breakfast' and 'all you can eat' in the same sentence. At the mere mention of the words, Tyson jumped to his feet, looking for the quickest way to get to the indoor restaurant that the hotel had. Upon spotting it, he began to run towards it. He had taken two steps when he suddenly felt a hand grab the back of his shirt and he fell backwards, landing with a 'THUD' on the hard floor. Looking up he saw Kai standing over him. "What's the big idea Kai?!? I'm hungry."

"You're always hungry," Kai stated calmly. Tyson stuck his tongue out at Kai, but quickly retreated when Kai glared at him. "Besides," continued Kai in an almost bored tone, "if you had woken up on time you might have had time for breakfast, but unfortunately – for you- we have training to do." It took a moment for this to sink in and when it did, Tyson fell back spreading out on the ground closing his eyes, he looked almost dead. Kai just shook his head and walked off towards the exit. Kenny, Max and Ray quickly followed then came Tyson still complaining about his need for food. It wasn't until they reached the park and stopped at a hot dog stand did Tyson stop complaining and got down to some serious training.
