A/N: I know this is late but here it is!

Tyson forced himself awake early the next morning. If it hadn't been for his plan and the commitment he made to it, he would have stayed in bed for at least another three or four hours. He had to work fast for his plan to work however. And he was going to be damned if he wore anything that Kai had left in his closet. The clothing items reminded him that he needed to desperately go through his clothes again. Instead he stole a set of Max's clothes, since he was the closest to his size, and snuck into Kai's bedroom. He could hear the shower on so he knew Kai was preoccupied.
It took him a total of four and a half minutes to get in, grab Kai's wallet, get his credit card, put said wallet back, and sneak out of both Kai's room and the dojo as a whole. He felt strange walking down the street wearing Max's clothes. How the hell did the blonde wear such baggy clothes? It worked out fine for Tyson, being just a bit taller than the blond, so he couldn't complain much. He really hoped that no one noticed him as he made his way to the mall to get new clothes. Kai thought he was so smart, stealing Tyson's clothes as payback. Two could play at that game, and Tyson was stubborn enough to win.
Max groaned as he noticed a set of his clothes missing. He should have known that Tyson would steal his clothes instead of wearing whatever Kai left for him. Tyson was not one to bow down to the will of others. How could Kai miss such an obvious solution? Max should have taken better precautions to keep Tyson from steal his clothes, since he was the only one whose size was close to his. Walking out of his room, the blond looked for the loud bluenette and couldn't find him. He found Ray, Spencer, Kenny, and Bryan but no Tyson.
"Hey guys, where's-" Max didn't get to finish his question as the group heard Kai yelling about something, and the distinct sound of Tala laughing. Mere moments later, Kai came storming out of his room, a bandana on his head to cover the still visible ink, looking ready to kill someone – probably Tyson. Tala was following him, laughing as if he had been told the greatest joke ever.
"Where is he!?" the angry Russian shouted as he looked around. Bryan let a smirk grace his lips. For a moment it was completely silent, no one really knowing where Tyson was or when he would be back. Not for a while if he was smart.
"He left early this morning." Spencer finally stated. He continued to read the newspaper in front of him like nothing was wrong. "And I say that not because I saw him leave but because Grandpa Granger stated that he wasn't in his room earlier."
"That little rat! Come on Tala we're going!" With that, the angry Russian grabbed the redhead and stormed out of the dojo. Everyone else, minus Spencer who was bus reading and Bryan who had burst out laughing, watched them leave concerned. Kai had a temper on him, and Tyson was about to fall victim to it. Again.
Tyson spent the entire day going from store to store buying new clothes. He had almost completely replaced his stolen wardrobe. Of course he had kept up with his usual style, though he struggled finding a new red jean jacket, but he also added in other clothes. He had spent so much of Kai's money on clothes that he wasn't sure if he really wanted to see the look on the Russian's face when he saw the amount. Well he did, but from a distance. Where Kai couldn't strangle him as easily. Finally after getting tired of walking he made his way back to the dojo, toting numerous bags with him. He had changed out of Max's clothes the first chance he got, stuffing them in one of the bags.
When he arrived home, he went around back and shoved some of the bags into his room through his window. The last thing he needed was for Kai to see how much he had bought. Since it was the Russian's money and he had gone a bit overboard. It was payback, though once he got his clothes back he planned on donating a bunch of them. He tried not to be a selfish person most the time.
One thing Tyson hadn't realized when he left was that he had forgotten to grab his precious Dragoon in his room. Kai didn't even have to look hard to find it either. Once he realized Tyson had stolen his credit card, Kai had gone to look for the blunette to demand it back. However, when he looked inside Tyson's room and found it empty he noticed Tyson's most prized possession just sitting on the bedside table. That was when he got the best idea of the day, in his own opinion. With a smirk he grabbed Dragoon and walked out.
After he had left the dojo with Tala, with Dragoon in his pocket, he explained his plan to the redhead. His reasoning for bringing Tala along was simple; he could be stealthier than Kai. He was also very willing to help Kai in the prank war that Tyson started. Bryan was too, but he had more trouble being stealthy than Tala did. And Spencer had declared that he was neutral in the war.
"Aren't you glad you have the extra credit card?" Tala asked as the two walked down the street towards one of the Beyblade shops. He was amused by Kai's plan and almost questioned how Kai was going to pull it off before being informed of the separate card he had in his name for emergencies. "Is this really an emergency Kai? Tyson's going to freak when he realizes what happened."
"I'm counting on his reaction. Serves him right for what he's been doing to me." Kai was ignoring the fact that he had encouraged the blunette into this little war with his own move of stealing his clothes. He should have known that Tyson didn't back down so easily.
"Kai…you kind of have a role to play in this too. You did steal his clothes you know." Apparently Tala was not going to give him that luxury. Kai let out a sigh but didn't answer as they entered the shop.
By now he knew what Dragoon looked like well enough to actually buy the parts he needed. Tala was able to help of course but his main goal was to get Dragoon, or what they were replacing Dragoon with, back into Tyson's room without anyone else noticing. Kai had it all planned out. He even had another prank set up for when Tyson retaliated. And it was downright evil. Max would probably hate him if this backfired on him.
As soon as they made their purchase the two Russians walked out of the shop and down the street to another one, with Tala holding the bag from the Beyblade shop. This part of the plan didn't make sense to Tala, but that was because Kai refused to tell him what his next prank would be. The younger Russian even went so far as to make the redhead wait outside while he made his purchase.
Soon the two were off again, this time to a quiet location where they could carry out Kai's first prank. Once settled in one of the quieter parks around the shopping district, they began assembling the replica blade. Kai was not stupid enough to disrespect the hard work Kenny put into building Tyson's Dragoon and therefore refused to pull it apart to make sure he was getting everything right. Or at least as right as he could with plastic toy pieces.
In the end it took them a few hours to make a decent replica and place Dragoon's bit chip in it before they began making their way back to the dojo. Before they reached it, Kai stopped and allowed Tala to go on ahead and sneak the replica blade into Tyson's room. Once he returned the two made their way to the dojo and went in through the front door.
Tyson wasn't back, which gave Kai enough time to hide his supplies for the next prank and return to the sitting room with everyone else. All he had to do was wait for Tyson to get back and discover what he had done.
He didn't have to wait long however. Tyson came barreling through the door with a few bags in his hands and tossed Kai's credit card back at him. He had a satisfied smile on his face, and Kai couldn't wait to see it gone when he realized that Dragoon was swapped. The optimistic in Kai hoped that it wouldn't take long, but the realist knew it would take longer than it would had it been anyone else.
A/N: Sorry this is so late I've had a bumpy road recently. But this was very fun to write! Hopefully the next one won't take as long to write.
