The teams slowly walked into the private room they would be eating in that night and started moving towards the table when coughed to get there attention, they all slowly turned back around to stare at the man.
"The table has already be set up with name tags at the seat you should be sitting in, you may notice that you will not be sitting with your entire team," he stated to the teams, an uproar of mummers and mutters started as soon as he said these words for the blading teams in front of him, "He-hum," he coughed bringing them to silence once more, "I have done this to allow outer-team bonding and friendships to form across the teams. You may now find your seats thank you" he finished
The teams slowly shuffled toward the grand oak table in the middle of the room walking around the table till they found their designated seat.
Soon everyone was seated as follows:
Mr. Dickenson looked down the table and smiled, he had put Tyson next to his brother with his grandfather across form them in hope they would be able to control Tyson's inability to contain himself whilst eating, and had put the newest Majestic's member next to her fellow Brit and teammate as she had known Johnny the longest. 'Yes this arrangement should do nicely' he thought to himself.
The bladers looked around the table then at the people they were sitting next to in interest and smiling at them some enthusiastically and others politely. Soon people began talking to those sitting next to them, as the waiters came in with menus for starters and the main course, soon everyone had ordered, minus Tyson who was sulking because Hiro was only letting him choose one thing off each course, after a few fake tears and grandpa granger hitting Tyson around the back of the head, he finally decided on the two biggest meals and everyone soon fell back into talking to those around them, some just out of politeness.
Charlotte looked across the table to Bryan across from her and noticed that neither Kenny or Gary were talking to him, she sighed quietly before looking Bryan in the eyes and giving him a warm smile, he stared at her for a few seconds before offering a small smile undetectable to anyone else around them, before averting his gaze away from her and down towards Ray and Tala who were chatting about something in small whispers he frowned slightly before turning his attention towards the doors as the waiters came back in with the starters.
Charlotte looked at the two people either side of Bryan silently trying to decide how she would get one of them talking to him, she sighed again and looked towards Johnny next to her he was staring at her with a questioning gaze.
"What's up with you?" He asked as their food was placed in front of them
Charlotte looked at Johnny and shook her head giving him a small smile "Nothing much Johnny, I just think Mr. Dickenson made some strange choices in his little seating plans," she said quietly to him.
Johnny looked up the table for a minute before nodding his head at her, "I think your right you know, I mean look at our poor Ollie he looks bloody terrified sitting next to Grangers Grandfather, and as for putting Mariah and Tyson next to each other well, they'll create a we hate Majestic's club by the end of this meal," he sniggered at this thought and added in a whisper "If Judy was sitting next to them it would of been made 2 minutes into us being here."
Charlotte smiled in amusement and nodded, "True true, well if they start a we hate the Majestic's club or whatever we'll just have to beat there asses in the tournament," she replied
Johnny nodded his head in agreement and was about to reply when a voice the other side of Charlotte piped up.
"Heyyyy! Don't insult my team just because one member of us may be a bit umm... of a mental case, you won't beat us without a fight!" the voice said.
Johnny laughed and turned away to answer a question Ray had asked him on the same subject. Before turning to Charlotte again, "I forgot we were surrounded by teammates of those we were just talking about," he said before joining Ray in a much friendlier conversation.
Charlotte shook her head and turned to the boy sitting the other side of her, before quickly glancing across the table toward Bryan, then back at the boy next to her.
'He looks trustworthy enough for me' she thought to herself.
"Your Kevin right?" she asked the green haired boy, "The one who ran up the bus from the airport with hyper sugar rush blondie down there?"
The boy looked at her and nodded, "Ya, that's me what of it?" he asked slightly wary of the girl talking to him.
"Can I ask you something?" she said back
Kevin looked unsure for a few seconds before nodding his head in agreement, "OK," he replied.
"Why do you all hate the Blitzkrieg so much? I know what they did all those years ago in Moscow, but they weren't in control of their actions I heard at the court trail of Voltaire and his lackey" she asked in a whisper.
Kevin looked at her with wide eyes and said in a very quiet voice, "You were at that trail why? No-one was supposed to be there!"
Charlotte sighed and looked around the table making sure no-one had heard there comments before continuing, "Can I explain that to you after when no-one else can hear us please?" she asked in a whisper
Kevin looked at her and nodded, "OK, but if you want to know why, it's really because they don't make the effort to talk to us, and after stealing our bit-beasts and trying to take over the world, you would think they would of at least apologised, yet they just keep up that cold exterior," he said so quietly Charlotte at to lean in to hear his words.
Charlotte looked at Kevin with a small but sad smile, "Kevin, there so many reasons behind this all none of you know, I will explain them to you later when we meet, but you cannot tell anyone about said meeting or what I tell you ok?" she asked sincerity laced in all her words.
Kevin nodded in understanding, "I promise, I will never tell a soul," he said solemnly.
Charlotte smiled at him in thanks, "Oh yeah do you think you can get your teammate over there to say at least a couple of words to Bryan before the end of this meal?" she asked him
Kevin looked at her then Gary before giving Charlotte a small smile and slyly making his way over to Gary undetected and whispered in his ear, Gary looked confused for a minute before giving a small nod.
Kevin snuck back into his seat and smiled at Charlotte, indicating that Gary would indeed at least say a few words to Bryan, what they were Charlotte didn't care as long as Bryan was not sat there all night with two people next to him making no actions to acknowledge him.
Once the main course arrived everyone fell silent and ate there food, whilst eating hers, Charlotte felt a nudge from Kevin and looked at him to see him pointing over the table at Gary. As Charlotte looked over she saw Bryan and Gary exchange in a small conversation before going back too there food. Charlotte smiled at Kevin and thanked him quietly. Kevin nodded at her in acceptance before they went back to their food.
'Someone finally acknowledged me and decided to trust me, I may have found a friend here who doesn't just look over me as if I'm an idiot' Kevin thought to himself glancing at Charlotte out of the corner of his eye a small smile on his face.
(Time skip to after meal...)
Everyone filed out of the restaurant, rejoining there teams as they went; the only two who hung back were Charlotte and Kevin.
"Meet me at 1am in the hotels gardens," Charlotte whispered as they left the restaurant, Kevin gave a nod of agreement before running up to his team. Charlotte watched him go and continued walking forwards looking at the floor in deep thought when she walked into someone's chest she looked up ready to apologising to the person politely.
"I'm so sorry, I should have been looking where I was going," she said before looking at the person she had walked into.
As she looked up her eyes met a pair of pale lilac ones, "Hi Bryan," she said smiling happily at the boy she had walked into.
Bryan looked at her his eyes softening as he did, a small smile made its way onto his face, "thank you," he said to her quietly.
She looked at him with a confused expression on her face.
"For getting someone other than my team, Kai, Ray or you to at least say a few words to me," Bryan said seeing her confusion.
Charlotte smiled at him and shook her head before grabbing and squeezing Bryan's hand, "It's no problem Bryan, besides I had help,"
Bryan looked down to the hand Charlotte was now holding loosely before giving her a questioning glance, "from who? The only people I know willing to help me are my teammates, Kai, Ray and now you,"
"From Kevin," Charlotte replied with a smile, "He's not an idiot like everyone seems to think,"
Bryan nodded at her in understanding before glancing behind Charlotte; she turned around and saw her team waiting for her. She sighed as she saw Johnny's face, "I best be off see you back at the hotel," she said "Say hi to the guys from me," she added before running to her team and getting in their limo.
Bryan walked silently over to his team ignoring their questioning glances and walked onto the bus his teammates following, as he walked up the bus he saw Kevin sitting away from the other teams, and caught his eye giving him a small smile before walking further up the bus.
(Time skip of bus journey...)
The Majestic's were waiting in the lobby when the other teams piled through the doors of the hotel, they stared at the other teams almost as if they were saying yeah we're better than you, we can afford transport which moves more than 10 mile an hour.
A few of the others gave them glares as they met up with them in the middle of the lobby. Mr. Dickenson once again called the team's attention to him.
"Right, we are leaving you to do as you please now," he said indicating to himself, Grandpa Granger, Hiro and Judy, "However it is now half past 11 so can you please all remember at least for tonight to go to bed at a reasonable time please," he finished off as he, Hiro and Grandpa Granger started walking away, Judy however stayed in her spot and glared at the teams.
"Cause any trouble however or major damages to this hotel and you and your team will find yourselves out of this tournament faster than you can say let it rip," Judy stated before looking at the Majestic's and intensifying her glare "And no amount of money or power in the world will change that," she gave the Majestic's a smug smile before walking towards the 3 men now waiting for her.
The Majestic's all looked at each other and rolled their eyes, "I swear max if she wasn't your mother I would have her killed sometimes," Oliver stated seriousness evident in his voice.
"You can do that?" Dai-chi and Mystel said in awe.
"Easily," Enrique replied
Dai-chi and Mystel nodded in understanding before chatting away about how awesome it would be if they could get people killed.
Robert shook his head at the two of them before looking toward his team, "All of you upstairs now, we need to order some stuff,"
Max looked at Robert with worry etched on his face before running over to him, "What do you mean order some stuff, you're not serious about my mom are you!" he asked panicked.
Johnny laughed "No you dolt, we were ordering stuff for a party for before and after this tournament... but if you'd rather we all ring our best assassins then we'll do that instead,"
Max gulped and shook his head furiously "No! No, party stuff would be fine," he said
Johnny patted max on the head, "I thought it would be somehow," he said
Enrique stared at Robert with a questioning gaze, Robert why do we have to go all the way upstairs to ring people about party stuff we can stay down here and do it with everyone else around." He said
Robert looked down at Enrique then towards the other teams, "True, but I think that everyone would prefer u snot talking on the phone whilst catching up is happening between most of them," he stated.
Brooklyn looked at the Majestic's before stepping forward "We do not mind, rather us all be here rather than one team missing because they are making business calls."
Robert nodded, "Very well then,"
The teams soon found themselves sitting in an area of the lobby full of sofas and beanbags. Robert looked towards the other teams and caught the eye of each team captain they all looked at each other then at Robert questionably.
"We were thinking tomorrow for the first party is that acceptable?" he asked them.
The team captains looked at each other and nodded, "That is fine," Kai stated being spokesperson for the teams. Robert nodded his head in understanding before looking at his team and gaining there undivided attention with a near undetectable cough. The other team captains shook their heads at this and imagined trying to get their own teams so responsive to such a small and quiet action.
"Oliver get hold of your finest caterers, Johnny your finest decorators, Enrique get hold of your finest entertainment people, "Robert said loudly, soon the three people in question were on their phones speaking in the native tongues.
This gained the attention of the other bladers in the room, "So when you said party stuff, you meant people?" Garland asked
Robert nodded his head "yes, party stuff, that's these people's jobs therefore they are the main party stuff," he replied
A few gave Robert an unbelieving look shaking their heads at Roberts statement, Robert however ignored this and turned to Charlotte who was still staring at him patiently, "Tell the manager I need to meet with him now no questions asked, then do whatever you please until I need your assistance again," Robert said to her, she nodded and walked over to the front desk coming back in barely 5 minutes.
Robert looked at her expectantly, "he will see you now in his office and has held all other phone calls and meetings for you, his office is behind reception, he's the one with the red hair over by reception," she said to him before walking away to talk to the Blitzkrieg.
Mariah watched as Charlotte approached the Majestic's a devious smile appearing on her face, Kevin looked toward Mariah about to ask her a question when he saw her staring at charlotte, he sighed and shook his head, before finding a pen and paper on the table scribbling a note.
"I'm popping to the toilet," he said to Lee as he left.
Kevin looked ahead of him and saw Bryan and Charlotte both glancing at him out of the corner of their eyes, as Bryan was nearest to the gap he would go through to get to the toilet the note was for him and as he walked past he slipped it into Bryans hand undetected by everyone except the man he had given it to.
Bryan stiffened as he felt the not being pressed into his hand but soon relaxed and looked at his teammates and friends, Spencer, Ray and Kai were having a conversation about the differences in Japanese, Russian and Chinese cultures, whilst Tala, Charlotte and Ian were talking in small whispers giggling now and again. Bryan checked his friends again making sure they were truly distracted before opening the note in his hand, it read:
Mariah is up to something look at the way she is staring over at you lot, watch her – Kevin
Bryan crumpled the note in his hand and looked towards the girl in question and saw her staring over at them all, he glared at her as she made eye contact with him, she soon looked away, Bryan smirked before getting dragged back into Spencer, Ray and Kai's conversation.
As Kevin walked back past him he gave a small nod of thanks before turning back to his conversation. Heeding Kevin's warning Bryan looked up again 5 minutes later to see Mariah limping over to them; he smirked at that, still finding it hard to believe Charlotte had stood on Mariah's ballet shoes with her stiletto just to defend him. As Mariah was approaching she saw she was heading towards Charlotte and he moved quickly to put himself in front of her as Mariah brought down her foot in the way only a martial artist could, Mariah gasped in pain as she hit Bryans shoulder, turning everyone's attention towards the two of them, Charlotte looked at Bryan in front of her then around him seeing Mariah's foot still in place on his shoulder and glared at the girl in front of Bryan.
"I suppose that was aimed at me, whilst my back was turned," Charlotte said hatred in her voice.
Mariah looked around for some form of support, and caught Tyson's eye, Tyson nodded at Mariah and came over acting as if he was a hard man.
"What you going to do Bryan now hmm? Hit or try and kill Mariah all because she tried to kick your precious psycho cow in the back of the head." Tyson said smugly
Bryan looked towards Tyson and glared before placing his hand on Mariah's foot at removing it from his shoulder only to get punched in the face by Tyson. Bryan looked towards Tyson his glare intensifying.
Charlotte looked at Bryan before looking toward Tyson and Mariah and shaking her head, she placed her hand on Bryan's upper arm squeezing it in reassurance as she stood next to him. "And why did you hit Bryan then Tyson?" she asked the boy her voice as cold as ice
Tyson looked toward Charlotte with disgust, "Because he touched her!" he shouted
Charlotte looked at Tyson and laughed at him, "Sooo if I do this?" she said before punching Mariah in the face and watching her fall to the floor. "Are you going to hit me to?" Charlotte asked Tyson.
Tyson looked at Charlotte then Mariah on the floor before glaring at Charlotte, and going over to Mariah and helping her into a nearby chair, once he had done this he walked back over to where Charlotte and Bryan now stood glaring at him, before turning and jumping full force on Charlottes foot, Charlotte cried out in pain as Tyson did this alerting her teammates to her situation, before they even got close Bryan quicker than anyone had seen him move had Tyson pinned against the wall by his collar. Soon Bryan was joined by 4 very angry Europeans, and he left Tyson to them as he headed back over to Charlotte.
"You dare touch our teammate again Tyson you dare and I will get the entire assassin population of Italy to hunt you down" Enrique seethed.
"And I Tyson will make sure no-one on this planet will sell you food or anyone else food for you!" Oliver threatened.
"You Tyson are the most uncouth person on this Earth, hurting a woman so coldly is the biggest sin you could ever commit, you are not worthy to be on this planet," Robert said pointing one of his crutches at Tyson's neck in fury.
Johnny looked at his male teammates then at Tyson before punching Tyson directly in the jaw, he watched as Tyson fell to the floor before standing over him, "And I Tyson unlike my teammates do not threaten for a first offence," he said before joining his male teammates in walking towards where Charlotte was surrounded by the Blitzkrieg, Ray and Kai.
As they got nearer they saw Ray carefully taking off Charlottes Stiletto which she was still wearing from them going out before. As Ray took off her shoe, they heard a pained groan from their female teammate and the protectiveness in them started to grow, soon they were sitting silently with the Blitzkrieg and Kai watching Ray inspect Charlotte's foot. The other teams looked on in shock before deciding to help Mariah and Tyson before someone noticed the 3 injured bladers and started asking questions.
Charlotte looked at Ray as he inspected her foot letting out a hiss of pain as Ray past over a rather painful spot on her foot, she noticed her team sitting silently with the Blitzkrieg and gave them a warm smile of thanks, they gave slight nods back before turning their attention back to Ray and watching him carefully.
Charlotte felt a presence behind her and saw Bryan holding the shoulder Mariah had kicked, she looked at him then Ray before telling Ray to stop a minute, standing up and grabbing Bryans good arm pulling him down to the floor with her as her foot finally gave in to the pain. She looked at Bryan giving him a look that said stay or I will get up and chase you around till you do.
Charlotte looked across the room and saw Kevin staring over a sad smile on his face, she ignored Rays pleas for her to stay still and twisted her upper body around catching Kevin's eye and calling him over with her hand. Kevin stared for a few seconds before slowly making his way across to them away from the where the other teams were sorting out Tyson and Mariah.
He walked over and looked at Charlotte, "You called?" he said in an amused tone, Charlotte looked at him and smiled nodding.
"Yeah, can you look at his shoulder, no matter what he says just do it," she said
Bryan looked at her glaring slightly, she stuck her tongue out at him, causing him to smile slightly and shake his head.
"Will you take your top off so I can see your shoulder then?" Kevin asked Bryan awkwardly, Bryan growled before doing as he was told and pulling his top off, a whistle came from Ian as they saw his shoulder.
"Are all you people trained in martial arts to that standard?" Ian asked looking from Ray to Kevin.
Ray looked towards Ian and let out a small giggle, "Actually Mariah, is the weakest out of the lot of us," he stated
Ian looked at Ray and nodded knowing it was the truth. Kevin watched this exchange of words happening before nodding to himself and studying Bryan's shoulder which was already turning a dark shade of purple.
"Ray have you got any of the bruise cream with you?" he asked, Ray looked up from Charlottes foot and nodded at Kevin.
"Yeah in my room why?" Ray asked
Kevin looked at Ray then looked at Bryans shoulder and back to ray again, "Why do you think?" Kevin asked sarcasm evident in his voice. Ray nodded and blushed at his own lack of understanding before looking at Kai.
"Kai go up to our room and get the round khaki tub out of my bag please?" ray asked
Kai nodded and walked briskly out of the lobby into the elevator, Ray studied Charlotte's foot for another minute before looking up at her.
"Luckily you have no broken bones, however the top of your foot is going to be the same colour as Bryans shoulder in about an hour ." he said
Charlotte looked at Bryans should the dark purple bruise was slowly spreading from his shoulder and was now down onto his collar bone and the same amount down on his back. Bryan noticing Charlotte was staring looked to and noticed the bruise as well. Bryan looked at Charlotte and smiled when he saw concern in her eyes.
"It's fine Charlotte, if I hadn't of stopped her you could be dead now, my shoulder is allot harder than the back of your head," he stated staring into her eyes to show he meant every word.
Charlotte smiled at him and nodded, before leaning over and giving him a gentle hug careful of his shoulder for about 2 minutes before releasing him and moving back to her position.
"What was that for?" he asked slightly confused at the sudden show of affection.
"To say thanks," Charlotte replied smiling at him.
Soon Kai arrived back Khaki tub in hand Ray smiled as he saw Kai coming and quickly accepted the tub from him opening it, Kevin stepped around Charlotte and Bryan and took some cream from the tub and walking back over to Bryan. Ray also took some of the cream before putting the tub down on the floor.
The Majestic's, Kai and Blitzkrieg boys watching all peered down into the tub and saw an apple green mixture, they all looked at each other and shrugged before turning their attention back to their injured friends in front of them. Kevin and Ray were slowly massaging the cream onto the bruising shoulder and foot of Bryan and Charlotte, after two minutes they were satisfied and allowed Charlotte and Bryan to get up.
As she got up Charlotte stumbled slightly as she put pressure onto her painful foot falling into Bryans injured shoulder in the process, they looked at each other and rolled their eyes before looking at Ray and Kevin.
"Thanks," they both said simultaneously.
Kevin and Ray merely nodded at them before turning towards Bryan and Charlottes teammates.
"This stuff has to be put on them bruises for a week twice a day," Kevin stated.
"And it's probably a good idea for them not to train during that time either," Ray added
Tala and Robert nodded in understanding.
"Well come to our penthouse to administer it then to them so we are away from the prying eyes of others," Robert said clearly meaning Judy and Mr. Dickenson.
The Blitzkrieg and Kai looked at Robert strangely before nodding in agreement with the arrangement.
Soon everything fell silent between the two teams and two neko-jin before Tala suddenly burst out with a question that was on all their minds.
"Since when did you start talking to Kevin?" he asked looking towards his two injured friends.
"At the restaurant," Charlotte and Bryan stated
"Thanks for telling me about Mariah being on her way over by the way," Bryan said looking at Kevin uncomfortably.
Kevin nodded at Bryan and smiled "No worries," he said.
"What do you mean Bryan and how did you start talking?" Ray asked.
Charlotte and Kevin looked at each other sighing before turning back to the others.
