Author's Note:

Hey everyone! I brought a video game, like days ago, and I think I won't be updating so fast from today because I want to spend my time on the video game. I have homework too… just to let you know.

Another important note involving with the story:

At the same time Ruby and Xue were going to take Dranzer, the Blitzkrieg Boys were busy fighting the girl who called herself Chun Mei. AND I don't even know the attack moves for the beybladers from Beyblade and I don't know how to describe them when I don't even know how they look like. So that's why I decided to have the bit beasts attacking on their own, but still obeys their masters.

I Love Beyblade

Chapter 8 – A Broken Bond That Never Was

"Keep them busy, Fei En," Chun Mei told her nine-headed bird bit beast. The bird was flying down from the sky but then Falborg appeared and stopped it. All Fei En's heads looked at Bryan's bit beast with gentle eyes. Its eyes were silver and the feathers were red.

"Let's so this, Falborg!" Bryan shouted, excitedly. He was yearning for a battle for the longest time. "It has been quite a while since we've done this!"

Falborg pushed Fei En towards the sky and the wind around them grew stronger, pushing them to take a step back. Fei En pulled itself away from the falcon and kept its distance. The two birds stared at one another, waiting.

Spencer looked at Tala and asked, "Aren't you going to call out Wolborg, Tala?"

"No," he said. "Falborg is enough. I don't want to cause an ice age here when there are people around."

"I see," Spencer nodded. Even he does not want to call Seaborg because it would only cause a big flood here. We're becoming softer. He thought, thinking back to the days when they were a group of dangerous beybladers.

"That Chun Mei's pretty hot, isn't she?" Tala smirked, rubbing his chin.

Spencer looked at him with a flat look, not knowing what to tell him. "Hm… I don't know," he shrugged. That's all he can say anyway.

"It's a shame she is one of the Empty Hearts," Tala said, chuckling.

Spencer wondered what was funny, but he did not want to ask him about it. He looked up at the sky and watched Fei En soar towards Falborg, the wind surrounding it. Falborg's wings brought it higher to the skies and dodged it. Spencer looked at Tala and realized something. "Where did that girl go?" he asked.

Tala had been looking up at the sky also so he would not know. "Damn, I take my eyes off of her for a second and she's already gone," he snapped his fingers. Spencer sighed.

Falborg swiftly flew towards Fei En and hit it and calling a wind attack upon it. The wind brought the nine-headed bird down to the abandon store and crushed into it. "That's the way!" Bryan grinned happily.

Chun Mei stood behind a building and she was holding a walkie-talkie to face. "You guys got it already?" she asked.

"You didn't say over, over!" Xue's voice shouted with complaint. "Yeah, we're done over here," he added.

"That was fast," she said, walking to get a view Fei En. The nine-headed bird rises from the crumbling walls of the store and blew Falborg away. "Okay, then I'll call Fei En to retreat. Too bad I won't be able to see Fei En uses it's full power… over." She turned the walkie-talkie off and walked away from the scene as some people of the city had gathered around, witnessing the two large birds. Chun Mei whistled.

Fei En heard its master's call and flew away. Falborg followed, but Fei En's wind pushed him down and on the ground. Fei En sung and the wind just grew strong. Then the nine-headed bird disappeared.

Tala looked up at the sky and saw a tornado forming. "Damn, we have to get out of here before it hits the ground!" he said, looking at Spencer and Bryan.

Bryan glared, "Falborg can take care of it!" Falborg got up and flapped its wings and flew to face the tornado head on. "Show them what you can do, Falborg!!"

Miles away from the city, the earth opened a hole and the mole crawled out, followed by Xue and Ruby. "Ah! Good job!" Xue laughed, hugging the mole. He laughs all the time when he calls his bit beast 'Ah'. Xue turned to look at Ruby but her back is facing him. "Now that we're here and successfully got Dranzer, let's hurry to where Eve is being held captive, Ruby!"

She nodded, "…Okay."

Xue quietly looked at her, blinking a couple of times. "Ruby…?" he tiptoed to her. He tapped on her shoulder and she walked away. "Are you mad?" he asked.

"Why would I?" she lightly chuckled. "If we follow the plan I had told you, why would I be mad about? Don't worry."

He nodded, "Then, do you want to see how Dranzer look like?"

"Nah."

His smiled faded away. "Then… turn over here." Ruby did not. She hurried away and Xue followed her. Ah retuned into dust after knowing its duty had been done. "Ruby," Xue called. He grabbed her wrist and she stopped walking. "What are you crying about?" he asked, figuring she was.

Ruby turned to him, tears falling out of her eyes. "I don't know," she said, wiping her tears. He let go of her.

"You really like him that much that you crying about taking Dranzer away?" he asked, confused. "Ruby, you are going to return it to him when we're done with this. Didn't you say that?"

"I know," she said.

He pouted, "Then why are you crying?"

"I don't know," she gave him a light glare. She brought up her hands and covered her face and tears. "…I… I don't know…" her voice started to tremble.

Xue patted on her shoulder, smiling. "I think I know why…" he said, smiling even wider. "When you cry and say 'I don't know' involving a guy you like, you're in love with them!"

She slapped the back of his head. "I am not," she said.

"I'm serious here and I've known you for so long!" he said. "And man, you slap hard…"

Ruby stopped crying and stood still. She thought about the way Kai had glared at her. "Even though we're going to give Dranzer back…" she said. "The way he looked at me… I just can't stop thinking about it." It makes her feel really sad, like a knife in her heart and slicing it all up.

"It's the same with Kou," Xue said. "Remember when you fell in love with him? It was the same situation." Ruby's tears started to fall again and he took a step back. "Okay! I'll shut up! Please cheer up, Ruby!"

Kai and Ruby did not have anything to do with each other to begin with. There is no reason to feel bad over this. She knows that, but the thought about him makes her tears flow. "It's nothing serious," she whispered to herself. "It's not like we can't go back to how we used to be."

Xue nodded with a big smile. "That's right! So let's go and finish our job and see Kai again! Sounds great, eh?"

"I guess," she chuckled. Why was I so worry?

He looked at her closely and said, "What did Kai have to seduce you anyway?" She glared at him, silent. Xue laughed, "I shall go and meet him in person someday! I must find out his secret so I can use it on someone I like! Maybe it's the scarf…"

"…Good luck with that," she flapped her hand at him. Her thoughts lead back to Kai again and the pain in her heart ached. I hate… falling in love. She thought bitterly.

"Maybe it's the blue paint on his face," Xue continued to try to figure it out.

Max and Michael were walking in the alley of a city in America. Max is carrying a brown bag that had food in it. While they were walking, Micheal was playing with a baseball, throwing it in the air back and forth. "How much longer do you think we're going to hide like this?" Michael asked, angry.

"I don't know," Max honestly said. "Mom's doing her best to try and contact Mr. Dickenson for a long time now. We should just keep lying low for just a little while."

"It's been a LONG while, Max," Michael said, throwing his baseball hard. It hit the wall across from them and came right back. He glared and punched the wall of a building to his right. "Almost for a whole year! If I have to wait for another week, I'm going to have to take action myself!"

Max sighed, knowing that is true.
