"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."

---

Tyson stepped up to the dish, a determined smirk on his face. He looked over at Carsh who had a more serious expression. Tyson readied his blade and waited for the countdown, Carsh doing the same.

"Ready bladers? 3...2...1...let it, rip!" DJ Jazzman shouted into the mick.

"Go Dragoon!" Tyson called as he launched his blade. "Let's win this!"

"Come on Ethel!" Carsh yelled, also launching his blade into the dish. "Let's show 'em what we got!"

The blades clashed and the battle began. Dragoon went for a head on collision, but Ethel spun to the side, just dodging the attack. Carsh smirked as Dragoon started to chase his blade.

"Nice Tyson, but you're going to have to do better than that!" Carsh said. "Go Ethel!"

The blade seemed to spin faster and crashed into Dragoon. Dragoon almost lost it's balance and so started spinning the opposite way. Ethel chased after the blade and started catching up with Dragoon. Tyson growled slightly. Maybe if Dragoon...

"Dragoon! Slam back!" Tyson ordered.

Dragoon gained speed and raced ahead before stopping suddenly and changing it's course back, effectively hitting the black and silver blade. Tyson smirked as he noticed the surprised look on Carsh's face. He hadn't expected that. Ethel was brought to the edge of the dish, wobbling along the side.

"Ethel! Go back in!" Carsh commanded. "Go for a full charge!"

The blade spun back to the middle of the dish where it sat for a few seconds before charging at Dragoon once more. It hit the blade full force, making Dragoon wobble dangerously. Tyson held his breath as Dragoon almost fell over. Keyword: almost.

Dragoon picked up speed once more and started spinning away from Ethel in an attempt to gain back momentum. Once the blade was steady, it changed it's path and went after Ethel.

"Come on out Dragoon!" Tyson shouted as Carsh called his bitbeast. "Ethel! Now!"

The bitbeasts emerged, flying out of the blades, each screeching before charging at the other. The blades clashed once more, the force sending both blades flying.

Tyson and Carsh held their breath as they waited for the blades to land. It seemed like a life time before finally, Dragoon touched down, still in the dish and Ethel touched down right beside the dish. Carsh pouted and picked up his blade while Dragoon went back to Tyson.

"Good match Ty." Carsh congratulated. "Looks like you won this time."

"Yeah, but we're now one to one." Tyson replied. "After the tournament, we'll have to settle this once and for all!"

The two teens shook on it before walking back to their teams.

"That was an awesome match Ty!" Max screamed, pouncing on the teen as he walked up. "It was so close! But now we're tied!"

"Yeah, so Rei, you've got to win this match!" Tyson said, turning to the teen.

Rei looked up from playing with Kai's tiger. "Don't worry Tyson. I will." he responded, handing Kai back the plush toy and standing up just as the announcer started explaining the next round.

"Now, for the final round, Rei from the Bladebreakers and Kaleen from Fatal Rage!"

The two made their way to the dish, both smirking, a determined look on their face. They didn't bother saying anything to each other. They could see it on each other's face.

"And 3...2...1...let it rip!"

They launched their blades and the battle began. The blades clashed in a head on collision. They were thrown back from the force, but they soon clashed again.

"Come on Driger! End this now!" Rei called. The blade glowed a soft green and charged after Kaleen's pink and black blade. Kaleen just smirked.

"Let's do this Vix!" she shouted to the blade, a smile on her face. "We'll end this quickly! Let's go for a Spinning Swipe Attack!"

Rei growled slightly as a dark pink fox appeared out of Kaleen's beyblade. If she was going to use her beast, he might as well use his.

"Driger! Tiger Claw!" Driger came out of the blade and growled, baring his fangs. Vix snarled and ran swiftly at Driger. Both the tiger and the fox used their claws, trying to hit the other first. It wasn't long before they both got a hit on each other, sending both blades flying back.
"Driger!"

"Vix!"
"One more time!" they both ordered.

The beasts once again began a battle of claws, the blades clashing and slowing down from the head on attacks. The crowd both cheered and booed loudly as both Driger and Vix fell over at the same time.

Rei and Kaleen stood still for a few short seconds before Kaleen broke the silence (A/N: just pretend the fans aren't screaming! ^-^) with a loud giggle.

"I've never had a tie before! I usually either win or lose!" she stated, scratching the back of her head in a Tyson like manner. "First tie ever!"

Rei started laughing also as Kaleen walked to the dish as he did the same. Her laugh was contagious. Both picked up the others blade and handed them to the respectful owner.

"Great match! But now I want a rematch so I can kick your butt!" Kaleen smiled, sticking her tongue at Rei.

"Ha! You wish you could win!" Rei joked back.

Kaleen gave him a fake offended look before shoving him lightly. "Fine! Be that way!" she giggled. "You're a jerk!"
"I try." Rei answered. They shook hands and walked back to their teams.

Rei paused as he saw Kai kicking the wall and muttering to himself. His tiger sat beside him, it's foot against the wall like it was also trying to inflict damage upon the surface like the chibi captain. Kai must have set it there like that to emphasize his anger.

"What's wrong with him?" Rei asked as he walked towards the small child.

"He's a little mad right now." Kenny answered. "Since you had a tie and the score's still one to one, he has to go up next.

"It's not fair! This would be easy if someone didn't so this to me a Dranzer!" Kai screamed, sending a well aimed glare at Tyson and Max.

"We said we were sorry!" Tyson defended.

"We didn't know!" Max agreed.

Kai sighed. "It's still not going to save me..." he grumbled.

"Kai, I'm pretty sure if you try hard enough, you and Dranzer will win." Rei stated, kneeling in front of Kai. Kai looked up at Rei, blushing a light pink at the comment. Rei still thought he could win? Then obviously, it was true. If Rei thought so anyway.

"You're right. Big or small Dranzer can still win." Kai grinned, an air of confidence surrounding him.

"Just two seconds ago, he was so convinced he was going to lose, now he's all confident." Tyson stated, looking at Rei. "How do you do it Rei?"

Rei shrugged as he looked down at the little captain who was smiling and looking down at his blade.

"Got it Dranzer? We can so win this!" he stated to the phoenix. "Come on Drig!" He said, turning to his tiger. "It's our turn!"

Rei smiled as Kai picked up his tiger and started walking to the dish, before his smile dropped and his face gained a look of confusion. He looked at Tyson, Max, and Kenny, a questioning look on his face.

"Did he just call his toy Drig?" he asked the three of them.

They all nodded like it was normal.

"Yeah, while you were blading he kept saying things like "Drig, look at that!" and "Drig! Driger is so strong!""

"Yup!" Max said, agreeing with Tyson. "He even growled at Tyson when he tried to touch it! He actually screamed "don't touch Drig!" He's sounding more like a kid. He's even named his plushie!"

"And after your Driger!" Tyson pointed out, trying to tell Rei by the tone of his voice that Kai obviously loves him. Rei, sadly, didn't catch it.

"Well, he did say it reminded him of Driger at the airport." Rei remembered, his expression chaning to one of slight anger and depression.

The three frowned as they remembered the incident at the airport. "Don't worry Rei!" Max tried to cheer the teen up. "It won't happen again!"

"Yeah! With you watching him 24/7, he won't have the chance to get lost again!" Tyson added.

Rei smiled slightly before looking at the dish. Kai had set his tiger, Drig, beside him, a serious expression on his face. His opponent, Jade, was smirking and ready to launch her red and black blade.

"We have Kai from the Bladebreakers and Jade from Fatal Rage to be the tie breakers!"

The crowd was cooing at the small captain. Some people even jumped from their seats and ran to the railings to lean over and get pictures.

"As we can see, Kai's having some problems right now. We don't know the reason, but hopefully it won't affect his blading!" DJ Jazzman said.

Kai growled and glared up at the DJ. "It won't! So back off!" he shouted before turning his glare on the crowd. "And you people! Shut up!"

Kai's mini temper tantrum just made the crowd think he was even cuter than before. Kai sighed angrily and waited for the countdown to begin.

"Ready?! 3...2...1...let it rip!"
