----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It only took a few minutes for the bus to arrive at the tournament area. Tyson and Max gazed up at the huge building. It wasn't anything special except that it had see through glass around the arena area. The rest of the building was normal, but you could clearly see the arena through the glass dome.

"Finally!" Tyson shouted, jumping out of his seat, only to fall down since the bus was still in motion. Max and Kenny laughed as Tyson stood up, only to fall forward as the bus stopped. "For crying out loud!" Tyson shouted. He crawled to his seat, clutching the seat before pulling himself up. "Ha!" he said in a triumphant voice, pointing at the driver and letting go of the seat. He fell backward once more when the bus started moving again. "You know what? Forget it! I'll just stay here until we park!" Tyson grumbled, crossing his arms and pouting.

"Good idea Ty!" Max laughed.

Kai rolled his eyes. "Idiot." he mumbled, not even bothering to glance at Tyson. He continued to stare out the window, not really caring.

Rei looked at Kai and sighed. "Kai, cheer up. We're finally at the tournament. Have some fun."

Kai looked at Rei and nodded his head sighing. He looked down to his stuffed tiger, making the plush toy nod as well. He glanced up at Rei and smiled when he saw the older boy laughing softly.

"Are we parked yet?" Tyson asked, still laying on the floor.

"No, not yet Ty." Kenny replied.

"Are we still moving Tyson?" Kai mocked.

"Uh, I guess so." Tyson responded, looking at Kai upside down.

"Then obviously we're not parked yet." Kai said, leaning against Rei. He waved the tigers arms around, holding it up above his head. He made the tiger softly head butt Rei, giggling when Rei playfully batted at the toy. Finally the bus stopped and the doors opened.

"Yes!" Tyson exclaimed, jumping up from his place on the floor and running off the bus. "We are finally here!"

Tyson looked at the crowd that was currently cheering for the them. Cheers of "Bladebreakers" could be heard from the fans. Tyson threw up his hands, giving the peace sign to the crowd which just made them cheer louder.

"Walk Tyson!" Kai ordered, glaring at him from the bus.

"Fine sour puss..." Tyson grumbled.

Max soon jumped off the bus, following behind Tyson and waving to the fans. Kenny was next and then Rei. The crowd was cheering as loud as possible, which was pretty much earsplitting. Last was Kai. As soon as the chibi captain stepped off the bus, the crowd became dead silent.

Kai peaked at them, feeling slightly unnerved that they were staring at him like that. Was it that amazing to see him that little. Suddenly, some random girl jumped the line and ran to Kai, instantly picking him up and cooing "awww!"

Kai growled. He didn't like the fact this random girl was touching him, much less picking him up.

"Put me down!" Kai ordered, crossing his arms.

"But you're so cute!" the girl cooed. "And you look just like Kai! Are you his son?"

Kai growled and started kicking. "I'm only 15 people! I haven't had a kid! Stop asking! Now put me down!" he screamed. He really hated this chick, who ever she was.

Rei looked back, instantly pitying the child. He walked over to the cooing girl and lightly tapped her shoulder. The girl looked back at him, cuddling Kai close to her.

"Can you please put him down?" he asked, giving her his best, charming smile.

The girl instantly dropped Kai. He yelped as he landed on his bottom on the hard concrete. Standing up, Kai glared at the girl. She was just another mindless idiot.

Rei bent down and picked up the fuming child and then turned his back on the girl, a glare on his face. Who did she think she was picking up Kai and then dropping him like he was nothing?! He looked down at the captain who had his little arms crossed and a cute little pout on his face. Rei couldn't help himself. He leaned his head down slightly, kissing the little child's nose. Kai tilted his head slightly before Rei pulled away, lightly brushing their lips together. They both blushed and looked away from each other.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Tyson asked as they walked through the door.

"N-nothing!" Rei replied, his blush deepening slightly. Kai just pulled his tiger close to his face to hide the pink that was spread across his cheeks.

Tyson pouted and crossed his arms. "Come on guys! Tell me!" he whined, standing right in front of them.

"Yeah!" Max agreed, bouncing over to stand by Tyson.

"Uh, come on guys or we'll miss the match!" Rei said quickly, walking past them and towards the arena.

Tyson and Max stared after them, a pout on their features. They shared a look before laughing.

"I say it was one of the fans." Max stated, making his way to the arena.

"Probably." Tyson replied, folding his arms behind his head and walking beside Max.

---

The arena was huge and just like you could see the arena from the outside, you could see the outside from the arena. The stadium was huge and fans were already crowding into the seats.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Are you ready to start this tournament?!" DJ Jazzman screamed into his mick.

The crowd cheered, some even jumping up and down from their seats.

"Alright! So here we are in Toronto! We have first, the Bladebreakers!"

The crowd, of course, cheered for the team. Tyson and Max threw up there hands and laughed while Rei smiled and looked around at the crowd, waving just leaned against Rei's legs playing around with his tiger. He could care less about the fans.

"And over here we have Canada's very own, Fatal Rage!" DJ Jazzman called out, pointing to the other team.

The crowd went completely wild. "I love you" and "Marry me!" could be heard randomly throughout the crowd. Other, more sensible fans shouted things like "wipe 'em out!" or "you rock!"

"Looks like they have some fans." Max smiled as he looked around the stadium.

"So how are we set up?" Tyson asked, looking at Kenny.

"Well, first up will be Max, then you Ty." Kenny answered. "Then would be Rei and last Kai."

"Hn. I doubt I'll be up since it's a best of three." Kai scoffed, making his tiger nod in agreement.

"It's scary how he keeps doing that." Tyson whispered to Max.

"Tyson. You're not the world's best whisperer." Kai pointed out, glaring at the teen. He made his plush toy cross it's arms in an angry gesture.

Tyson laughed nervously. He didn't know what was scarier. Kai glaring, or Kai making a toy act angry as well. Probably the later.

"First up, we have Max from the Bladebreakers and Katalik from Fatal Rage!" the DJ announced.

"Whish me luck guys!" Max laughed as he ran to the dish. Katalik walked lazily to his place and took out his black and purple blade. "Good luck!" Max called, readying his Draciel.

"You too." Katalik smirked.

"3...2...1...Let it rip!"

The teens launched their blades and the battle began. The blades clashed with each other, sparks flying. The black and purple blade then backed off of Draciel and instead, circled the blade. Katalik smirked as Max went after him.

"Big mistake!" he called. "Come on Sheal! Make this quick!"

A huge horse arose from the blade. It neighed loudly, then charged at Draciel.

"Draciel! Come on out!" Max called. The giant turtle emerged from the blade. The bitbeasts clashed and a bright light engulfed them both.

"Sheal!" Katalik called to his beast. "Finish him off now!"

With a loud neigh, the horse collided with the turtle, knocking the blade out of the ring.

"No! Draciel!" Max shouted, watching as his blade was thrown from the dish. He reached down and picked up his blade, smiling proudly at the bit chip. "Good battle. You tried hard!"

"Nice match Max." Katalik said, walking up to Max.

Max smiled brightly. "Thanks! You too! How about a rematch sometime?"

"You're on!" Katalik answered.

The boys shook hands and then walked back to their teams. Tyson ran up to Max and high fived him.

"So we didn't win! Oh well! We do do better under pressure!" Tyson laughed, Max soon joining him. "Wish me luck!"

"Next, we have Tyson from the Bladebreakers and Carsh from Fatal Rage!" the DJ announced the next round.

Tyson smirked. "Just who I wanted to face."
