20: Broken Hearts
The Shadow Team rose early the next day, immediately after getting dressed and having something quick to eat they headed down to the training centre, once their the four teens prepared for battle. They stood equally apart around the dish and held their launchers up, their blades locked into place. The only sound heard was that of their blades as they launched them into the dish, as they landed Dranzer took a quick left to cut off Anthrax who halted a moment, causing the navy blue blade to spin past. Whisper darted through the centre catching the creamy blade off guard, Ghost was knocked backwards into Anthrax, who manoeuvred around to scrap the side of the greyish blue blade. Dranzer spun across the centre knocking the three opposing blades to the outer edgers, where they then shot back into the centre to take swipes at the navy beyblade.
"Arise, Dranzer!" yelled Kai
His blade began to glow as the mighty fire phoenix burst fourth from the bit chip, an ear shattering cry echo through the room as Dranzer spread her wings and arched her graceful neck,
"Ghost, Attack!" shot Emerald,
At his command the white unicorn leapt from his blade neighing fiercely, rising onto his hind legs Ghost prepared to attack the opposing phoenix, that is till Moon called upon her own beast,
"Whisper!" a shrill howl was sounded as the winged wolf came fourth in a haze of blue light, spreading large white feathered wings Whisper lowered her head, growling deeply, her large fangs glistening in the light.
"Anthrax lets join this fight!" shouted Raven as he called upon his bit beast,
A low hissing sound resounded through the training centre as the cobra shot up from his blade, puffing out his hood Anthrax hissed a challenge, swaying his tail back and fourth the large pointed blade at the tip caught the light causing it to glisten.
"ATTACK!" the four youths shot, their beasts lunging forwards to attack, beams of red, blue, purple and white shot out from all direction as the four titans clashed, sending waves of energy pulsating across the room.
The Bladebreakers woke and got themselves ready for the day, soon after breakfast they headed off towards the Majestics hotel room, wanting to pay them another visit before they had to face off against the Shadow Team. Reaching the hotel room the Bladebreakers knocked on the door and waited patiently,
"Well hello" spoke Robert as he opened the door, allowing the five teens to enter,
"What brings you up here again so soon?" he asked
"Uh you know, just to pay another visit that's all" replied Ray,
"Well it's good to see you again," came Oliver's voice as he walked into the main room,
"Oh hi" waved Max
"Where's Enrique and Johnny?" asked Tyson
"Johnny went out somewhere for the morning, and Enrique is getting another batch of gifts sent over to Moon" spoke Oliver
"He's sending more gifts?" Aaron raised an eyebrow at this
"Yeah, obversely the first lot wasn't enough" spoke Oliver
"What makes him think he'll get a different response from last time?" asked Ray
"Well that's the thing, there was no response, and that's probably because he didn't put a name with the gifts, but this time I think he is" explained the French teen,
"He's going to mention his name?" asked Max
"Yeah"
"I don't think that's a good idea" spoke Ray
"That's what I said, but he wont listen" came Roberts input,
"Well where is he now?" asked Kenny
"In his room, calling reception" answered Oliver
"He's stupid for doing this," spoke Robert as he went to sit down, with a sigh from the others they joined him.
As the dust cleared Kai removed the arm that was shielding his face from the debris, looking down into the dish he searched for who the winner was, hearing a cough he quickly glanced to the side to see Emerald holding a hand over his mouth as his body cleared his throat of dust.
"Who won?" came Moon's voice from the other side of the dish, the dust continued to slowly fade away and settle on the ground, no sound was heard as the four teens waited,
"It's…a draw" spoke Raven as he dust finally settled to show all four blades lying motionlessly,
"Well that's great" shot Moon as she jumped down to retrieve her beyblade,
"Oh well you get that" spoke Emerald as he went to get his blade as well,
"Next time will be different" came Raven's voice as also collected his blade,
"Yeah, because I'll be the winner" smirked Kai as he jumped down into the dish,
"I can assure you of that," he added as he bent down to pick up his Dranzer.
"Whatever" shrugged Emerald,
"Lets head back" spoke Moon as she left the training centre, the boys following soon after.
Walking into their hotel room the teens headed for their rooms to rest, upon entering her room Moon once again spotted a bunch of roses in the corner, though this time it was a mixer of red, white and pink roses, with a little box on the floor and another card.
"Uh not again" sighed Moon,
"Why what's happened?" asked Raven as he came into Moon's room,
"More gifts" she growled, though not a Raven more at the thought that someone was continuing to send her stuff.
"Wow really" spoke Emerald as he too came in followed by Kai,
"Did they send anymore of those chocolates?" asked the green-eyed youth
"Doesn't look like it" replied Moon as she opened the box only to find a golden bracelet with amethyst studs,
"God damn it" sighed Emerald,
"Got me all excited" he added before going to sit on Moon's bed,
"This guy must have a thing for roses," spoke Kai as he went to pick up a bunch of white ones to smell,
"Well I certainly don't, I much prefer orchids" spoke Moon as she too picked up a bunch of pink roses,
"And I can't stand the colour pink" she growled,
"He obversely thinks you're just like every other girl in this world" spoke Raven
"Who ever said it was a he that's sending this stuff" snickered Emerald
"Don't be an asshole" shot Moon as she ditched the bunch of roses she was holding a the brunette, who dodge them
"Hey, be careful those things have thorns you know" he snapped back
"Well let's see what's been written today" Moon spoke only to herself as she opened the card to read,
My dearest Moon,
Please say you will been mine forever,
Love, the man of your dreams,
Enrique
"WHAT!" she snapped
"What's up?" asked Raven
"Why that little asshole, I'm going to kill him for all this!"
"Who?" shot Kai
"ENRIQUE, oh I should have known!" Moon seethed,
"Enrique?" Emerald raised an eyebrow at the name,
"Oh that blond guy from the Majestics" he answered his own question
"It figures it'd be him" spoke Kai
"He is going down" shot Moon as she stormed from her room,
"Hey where're you going?" asked Emerald
"To give him a piece of my mind," snarled Moon as she left the hotel room,
"Whatever" shrugged Raven,
Storming down the corridors Moon went in search of the Majestics, or more importantly Enrique.
"I better go get her before she does something stupid," sighed Kai as he stood and left the hotel room.
After asking at the front desk where the European team was Moon headed for their room, ready to yell at a particular blond member, reaching their room she knocked and waited for someone to answer the door,
"Hello," came the answer as Max opened the door,
"Where is he?" she growled back glaring at the blue-eyed teen,
"Who?" asked Max,
"Don't give me that shit, you know who!" Moon snapped,
"No I'm sorry I really don't, but what brings you here anyway?" Max asked cheerful as ever,
"Max who's at the door?" asked Robert as he came over
"Moon," he answered looking back at the purple haired youth
"Huh?" Robert raised his eyebrows at this, standing next to Max he looked down at Moon with a questioning gaze,
"Where's Enrique?" Moon tried sounding nice, but the malice in her words was audible,
"Why?" asked Robert,
"Because I wish to have a word with him" growled the silver haired teen,
"I don't know?" Robert frowned
"Hey Robert what ya doing" came a voice from the main room, which seemed to become clearer as the person walked towards the door,
"Who's here?" asked the voice again, as Enrique came up to the door and opened it all the way only to gasp in shock when he got a look at the person standing at the door giving him the evils,
"Why you asshole, you good for nothing fucking bastard!" snapped the silver haired teen abruptly
"Hey what?" spoke Enrique holding his hands up in defence,
"What are you talking about?" he asked
"What, what am I talking about, how dare you, you know perfectly well what I'm talking about" she shot, Enrique sent her a questioning look
"All that shit you sent me!" Moon seethed
"Oh all that, well I was only trying to express my feelings to you" spoke the blond, by now both the rest of the Majestics and Bladebreakers had gathered around the door to see the argument not to mention people in rooms rear by had opened their doors to see what all the yelling was about,
"Feelings, I don't give a shit about your feelings, just leave me alone and stop sending crap into my room, especially those stupid roses, I hate roses!" she snarled
"What but all girls love roses," spoke Enrique as if he truly thought that to be a fact
"No, all females do NOT love roses, because I don't, I can't stand them" yelled Moon glaring harshly at the Italian
"But what about all that jewellery, golden rings, diamond necklaces…" he was cut off
"I don't care about any of those things, if you hadn't noticed I don't wear jewellery, diamonds and gold mean nothing to me" she snapped again
"Moon" a voice called from the left, but failed to grab the girls' attention
"I don't like you, I never have and never will, if I did you would know about it by now, so stop sending me stuff!" Moon shouted
"Moon!" snapped the coming voice,
"What!" she shot back
"Calm down, leave the poor guy alone" spoke Kai as he came closer and stopped by Moon's side
"Calm down, how can you tell me to be calm, you're not the one with a stalker" she snapped
"Get over it, so he sent a few things over, who gives a shit, they mean nothing unless you take the time to make them affect you" spoke Kai
"I don't care, it's the principle of the thing, now get lost, I was very happily yelling here"
Kai just raised a slate eyebrow,
"Don't look at me like that!" Moon snapped pointing her index finger into his chest,
"Come on, you're making a scene" Kai spoke again with no hint of emotion
"I am not!" Moon's voice rose with anger
"Stop yelling" snapped Kai
"Don't tell me what to do, I'm not some peasant that will bow at your feet, and kiss your shoes, I'm a human being and I demand respect, I don't care if your leader I don't care if your older, stronger, or bigger than me or the fact that your male, I will not be pushed around just because I'm female, you think you are superior to me, and that I'll follow your every whim, well think again, stop demanding me around, and treat me like your equal, like a living person!" yelled Moon glaring at her captain,
"You done?" asked Kai crossing his arms over his chest,
"Yes" spoke Moon folding her arms as well and turning away from the Russian youth,
"Umm, so…so you didn't like anything that I sent you?" stuttered Enrique looking the slightest bit hurt,
"Except the chocolates, they were pretty good" spoke Kai
"The chocolates?"
"Yeah Moon didn't want them, so Emerald took them, according to him, why put good food to waste, me and Raven had some too, had the whole box in about 10 minutes, you should send some over again" spoke Kai
"Umm well, huh?" Enrique just looked confused
"Come on, we have to get back" shot Kai
"What did I just say about demanding me around" snapped Moon
"I dunno I wasn't listening," shrugged Kai as he turned to walk away, Moon just growled before following after the slate haired teen, leaving the Majestics and Bladebreakers looking dumbfounded.
"Hey Enrique are you ok?" asked Tyson as he placed a hand on the blonds shoulder,
"Yeah man, that was harsh" spoke Johnny, who had come back from his walk a short while ago,
"I'll be ok," came the weak response,
"You sure, I mean that was cruel" came Ray's response
"Yeah I'll live, I mean I think that deep down I knew something like this would happen, she doesn't like me" explained Enrique
"I just wanted to think that maybe I was wrong, and that she did or even could have feelings for me, but I guess not," he continued
"Come on cheer up, hold that head hight" spoke Oliver
"I'm gonna go lie down for a bit" said Enrique as he turned to head towards his room, a single tear rolled down his cheek as he thought of the one person in the world he could never have. Being rich, a nice guy, and farley good looking Enrique had never had a problem with winning the hearts of girls all around, but now someone had come along who had stolen his heart, his feelings for Moon where nothing like those he had had for other girls, but all the money in the world could not win her love, for everything Enrique was, she did not desire.
"Umm well be should get back, see you guys later" spoke Ray
"Yeah and don't worry Enrique will be fine, he'll get over it" said Oliver
"Yeah he's never been rejected before" snickered Johnny
"Johnny be nice," shot Robert,
"Well see ya round" waved Tyson as the Bladebreakers headed back to their hotel room,
"I really do hope Enrique's ok, I mean that was harsh, what Moon did"
"You got that right Aaron, that's tough love" spoke Ray,
"I pity the man that marries her someday, or even the poor fool who tries to go as far as dating her" spoke Tyson shaking his head,
"Now that's mean, true but still mean," laughed Max
"Hey the truth hurts" Tyson grinned back
"Oh come on now guys behave" spoke Ray as they reached their room,
"Yeah, yeah, yeah" Tyson spoke in a bored tone as he headed for his room, Ray just shook his head as he sat down.
The rest of the day pasted by uneventfully, with most teams resting, relaxing or getting back into more training, the tournament would be starting up again in a couple of days with the semi finals, the last few teams had to be ready for battle or they'd be knocked out of the tournament. As darkness descended and a pale moon rose, the hotel became quite as the residences headed off to bed, getting a good night sleep for the days ahead.
