Tyson: Where's Darkpsychic?

Kenny: I think she went off to get the plates.

Joy: Is the fire ready Rena?

Rena: Almost. Can I have more firewood Ray?

Ray: Sure. *went to take some more*

Max: I'm so excited! We're going to have a barbecue!

Kate: Yeah! Anyone brought marshmallows?

Joy: Darkpsychic is bringing all the food and of course, the *main* dish.

Tyson: Cool! I love barbecues!

~~DARKPSYCHIC AND ICEBLADE750 ENTERS~~

Darkpsychic: *pants* This is sure heavy.

Iceblade750: Yeah, with all this food and the 'main dish'

Tyson: Who's this?

Darkpsychic: Oh. This is my best friend and no-blood-relationship sister^^ Iceblade750!

Iceblade750: Yup. *smiles* Hey Kai and Kari! I'm surprised you two are here too!

Kai: Hmph. *looks away*

Kari: Duh.

Iceblade750: How did you made the two of them come?

Darkpsychic: *smirked* I threatened to make Dranzer and Shadow 'The Main Dish Of The Day' if they refuses to come. Spicy phoenix and barbecue wolf sounds nice to me.

Kai and Kari: *sweatdrop*

Darkpsychic: Enough talking. Let the 'flaming' begin! *opens the big sack she was holding and out fell Oliver Killer*

Iceblade750: Since Oliver Killer likes to flame so much, our little group here decided to let her feel how it's like to be flamed. *whispered* LITTERALLY! Muhahahahaha.

~~FLAMING CERIMONY STARTS~~

Darkpsychic: Ah! I feel better. No one insults my story and gets nothing in return! It's a rule. During Christmas, when you receive gifts, you return gifts too. Same apply here. You flame me and I'll flame you back. LITTERALLY!

Iceblade750: Flaming is so fun! *dances around*

Darkpsychic: Oh yah, thank you Oliver Killer for awarding me THE FLAMING FATASS OF THE YEAR AWARD! *bows* Thank you but I think you deserve this award more than I do! You're a better flamer^^

Iceblade750: So please take back the trophy! *threw it back*

Darkpsychic: Ok, enough flaming. Let's start the chapter.

Joy: Darkpsychic does not own Beyblade and the word 'Hmphed' but she do own the rest of the new characters you will see in it like the Radicalz and the recipe for extra nice flavoured toast!

Darkpsychic: *sweatdrop* Hey I did not create that!

Note: Sorry about the wrong update 0_o", I was testing something. Anyway, here's the REAL chapter 6.

* * *

Chapter 6 ~Obstacles Obstruction~

/ Thoughts /

"Speaking"

* * *

"Good morning everyone!" greeted Joy as she walked into the kitchen. Rena, Kate and Claire were already there but Kari was nowhere to be seen.

"Good morning Joy." Claire replied as she turned to look at her. Joy's hair was in a mess with tangles here and there.

"You are the last as usual Joy, we already finish making breakfast." Rena told her as she pointed to the plates of ham and eggs on the table.

Joy blinked innocently. "I slept very late yesterday!" she reasoned.

Kate giggled. " From what I know you were the reason why we ended yesterday's meeting early. You fell asleep in the middle of it."

Joy sweatdrop and everyone laughed. " Ok enough, stop making fun of Joy." Claire shouted after she managed to stop laughing, " Let's eat breakfast and then get ready to go back to the school."

"I agree!" Joy exclaimed and rushed to the table immediately.

/Joy's appetite is as big as ever/ Rena thought amusedly and then told everyone that Kari had said that she will meet them after they finished breakfast.

"Where did she go? It's so early in the morning!" Kate asked as she and the rest started eating.

"She's training in the basement. That's what she does every morning." Rena replied. /Kari's being too hard on herself/

"Oh yah, I forgot." Kate murmured and they passed the next few minutes in silent.

~FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER~

"Are you all done yet?" asked Kari as she walked into the kitchen after her training.

"Yup." Replied Claire as she gathered up her laptop. Joy, Rena and Kate put their blades in their pockets.

"Good. Let's go then." Kari said and turned to walk out of the chalet.

"Wait for me!" Joy shouted as she rushed after Kari and Rena who was behind Kari.

The Radicalz followed their leader and walked towards another exciting day in the Beyblade School.

~OVER AT THE BLADEBREAKERS~

"This is a miracle," commented Kenny as the Bladebreakers walked out of their chalet, " How did you wake Tyson up Mr Dickinson?"

Mr Dickinson smiled. " I must say all I said was the word 'hamburgers' and the next thing I knew, Tyson was already awake, ready to rush to the kitchen.

Everyone sweatdrop. Ray laughed, " That's another good way to wake Tyson up, especially when we ran out of food."

"Yeah, good one Mr Dickinson." Max commented.

"Shesh, I can't help it if I'm that sensitive to food!" Tyson pretended to moan.

" I think you like that habit just as it is Tyson, since it helps you find your way to all the food which we have just restocked yesterday." Kenny told him.

Kai rolled his eyes. " I'm surprised you can still walk Tyson, after all you have ate for breakfast."

Tyson glared. " YOU!" he shouted and tried to reach over to hit Kai but was stopped by the rest just in time.

"Enough boys, I can see a group approaching here." Mr Dickinson shouted, " They seemed to be heading towards the same route as us."

"Where?" asked Tyson who had given up on hitting Kai since all the others were blocking him. /Great, I'm itching for a Beyblade match/

"There," replied Mr Dickinson, pointing towards a particular direction.

" I see them!" shouted Max as he stretched his head to get a better view, " Hey, they look familiar!"

"It's the Radicalz!" Kenny exclaimed after they got nearer.

The Radicalz was as shock as the Bladebreakers when they noticed them right in front.

/Just my luck, fancy meeting Kai right in the middle of the road/ Kari thought as she slightly frowned. The rest of the Radicalz, however, were delighted to see the Bladebreakers.

" Hi guys!" greeted the Radicalz, except Kari.

" Hi!" greeted the Bladebreakers with an exception of Kai.

" So you all must be the Radicalz. I'm Mr Dickinson." Mr Dickinson said as he reached out his hand.

" You heard about us?" asked Rena curiously as she and the other Radicalz took turn to shake his hand.

" Yes I did, you all are the best team in the whole of Japan if I'm not mistaken. " Mr Dickinson replied.

"Wow, you guys didn't tell me that!" Tyson said, shocked at this piece of news, " So having a Miss Crappy-pants in the team helps huh?"

Kari growled. " You keep you toe in the line boy or you and your bit beast are going to be down before you can say the word 'rip'." Kari shouted angrily.

"Kari cool down man!" Rena said as she stood nearer to her in case she ever jumps on Tyson.

" Don't get too far Tyson, Kari means it when she said that." Joy warned.

" Oh I'm so scared." Tyson said as he made a face. Kari growls even more and Rena now have to restrain her.

" Break it up guys." Ray shouted as he shoved Tyson out of the sight before he could get into more trouble.

Mr Dickinson chose this moment to laugh and everyone looked at him animatedly. " You two teams are sure alike," he told them.

" We are what?!" they echoed in unison.

"Alike." Mr Dickinson repeated.

"Duh, who wants to be alike with THAT kind of team, especially with Kai on that team." Kari murmured.

" I heard that." Kai said as he stared at her. Kari stared back mildly, " Yeah and so what?"

"I sense something murderous is in the sky." Max whispered to Kenny who was watching the situation tensely.

" You probably is sensing the murderous aura that is coming out of Kari and Kai now." Kenny said nervously.

Fortunately Mr Dickinson broke the deadly silence and started to explain which the two teams were alike. (A/N: Phew, I still need the two of them for the later chapters you know^^)

" You see, both of your teams have a researcher whom I think is very rare on some teams." He said and pointed to Kenny and Claire.

" How did you know about me?" asked Claire curiously.

" I'm the BBA chairman for Hong Kong so I think I do know quite a lot." Mr Dickinson told her lightly.

"Oh, that's why." Claire exclaimed.

Mr Dickinson went on to talk about the similarties, which more or less ended with Kai and Kari having the same character. (A/N: No way I'm going to write this out! It's too boring^^)

" He got that right," murmured Kate as she threw a glance at Kari and Kai who were still glaring.

" I think we still have quite a long way to walk. Why don't you young people talk among yourself?" he suggested after explaining.

" Cool idea!" Tyson shouted as he woke up from the daze he had been. /Anything as long as I don't have to hear that again/

" I think so too!" Joy exclaimed happily. The two teams (minus a deadly Kari and a murderous Kai) thus paired up and started their conversation.

[Darkpsychic: The next part is going to be like role-playing. It's going to be a bit comical and maybe lame but dun flame me! Flaming me will put me off my writing :( ]

~~JOY AND TYSON'S CONVERSATION~~

Tyson: Is your team really the best team in Japan?

Joy: *beams* Yup, we beat all the teams in the qualifying matches in Japan so we're here.

Tyson: That's so cool! Hey my team beat all the teams in the qualifying matches too.

Joy: Really. No wonder Mr Dickinson said we were alike.

Tyson: He did? *blinks*

Joy: *blinks* I'm not exactly sure myself, I kinda fell into a daze just now.

Tyson: Really? Me too! It was boring.

Joy: I thought so too!

Tyson: Cool!

Joy: Yeah.

~~~*Pause*~~~

Tyson: *thinking of a topic* Mmm. What did you eat for breakfast today?

Joy: Nothing much. We had ham and eggs.

Tyson: WOW! I hadn't eaten ham and eggs for a long time!

Joy: How long?

Tyson: About 48 hours! (Darkpsychic: *sweatdrop*)

Joy: Aww. poor you. (Darkpsychic: *bigger sweatdrop*) What did you eat for breakfast then?

Tyson: *sulks* I was tricked into believing that we were having hamburgers for breakfast but when I rushed to the kitchen, all they had was toast and there was even not enough honey.

Joy: I like toast. It taste great when you put honey on it.

Tyson: It's good when you out butter on it too!

Joy: And jam!

Tyson: And jelly!

Joy: Peanut butter!

Tyson: Eggs!

Joy: Ham!

Tyson: Raspberry!

Joy: Blueberry!

Tyson: Cranberry!

Joy: Apples!

Tyson: Pears!

Joy: Oranges!

Tyson: Ice cream!

Joy: Chocolates!

Tyson: Sweets!

Joy: Mmm. salt?

Tyson: Nah, sugar taste nicer.

Joy: Ah! Soy sauce!

Tyson: Teriyaki sauce too!

*Continues down the list*

[Darkpsychic: *sweatdrop* Heard of anyone put salt on toast? *pushes her own toast away* Now I've lost my appetite. Let's see what Max and Kate are talking about.]

~~KATE AND MAX'S CONVERSATION~~

Kate: *beams at Max*

Max: *beams back*

Kate: *beams*

Max: *beams*

[Darkpsychic: HELLO!]

Kate: *stop beaming* . Hi Max!

Max: Hi Kate! Erm. what do we talk about?

Kate: How about some jokes?

Max: Cool, I love jokes!

Kate: Ok then, here goes. What did the big chimney say to the little chimney?

Max: Mmm. You're smaller than me?

Kate: Nope. You're too young to smoke!

Max: *laughs*

Kate: *laughs*

[Darkpsychic: Getting lamer by the second but dun stop reading now! The nicer part is at the back!]

~~RENA AND RAY'S CONVERSATION~~

Ray: Hey Rena.

Rena: Yes Ray?

Ray: Well. for some reason, I find your bit beast very familiar.

Rena: *pretends to be surprise* Huh? /*sigh* If only he knew./

Ray: *blush* Nothing. I just thought I have seen it before but I guess I must have remembered wrongly.

Rena: .

~FLASHBACK~

" Thank you so much Ray!" the young Rena exclaimed as she looked down at her newly formed Beyblade, " I always wanted one!"

The young Ray smiled. " Here, let me teach you how to launch it." He said as he held Rena's hands.

"O.k." stammered Rena as she blushed when Ray held her hands and started to teach her. /Those eyes. they are beautiful./

"Get it now Rena?" asked Ray after he finished explaining. Rena shyly nodded and launched for her Ray to see.

"Good job! You are a fast learner." Ray praised her and Rena felt herself blushing again.

They went on and played like this for hours until one of the elders from Ray's village came and took Ray away from her.

" It's best not to go near any people from THAT village Ray. They might have a bad influence on you," said the elder, purposely increasing his tone so that Rena could hear.

Rena looked helplessly as the elder took Ray away before they could say goodbye.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

Ray: Are you all right Rena? You look kinda odd.

Rena: *shook her head* I'm fine Ray. Thanks for the concern. /The elders again and again separated me and Ray but Ray always came back the next day to play with me again. that is until the war started./

~FLASHBACK~

"Daddy! This is a stupid war! Stop it!" screamed Rena as she stood right in front of her father, stopping him from going out.

"This is a necessary war Rena, this is the only way to determine who gets the white tiger and the brown fox." Rena's father replied coldly and pushed her aside.

" Noo." cried Rena as she fell to the ground. /I can never see Ray again if either village loses the war!/

Little Rena rushed out of her house and looked at the battleground with tears streaming down her cheeks. /I have to find Ray/

There was villagers everywhere fighting against the others and Rena tried to squeeze through the people. " Ray! Where are you!"

"Rena?" shouted Ray as he heard her cry, /Oh no./ " Rena! Don't come any nearer!" /Ray?/ thought Rena as she heard his voice, " I'm coming Ray!"

"NO! Don't come any closer! There's a trap here!" Ray shouted frantically and rushed towards her just as a rush of rocks fell from the tree above Rena.

"Ahh." screamed Rena and just as the rocks was about to fall on her, Ray jumped and pushed her away just in time.

"Ray. " whispered Rena as she saw that her Ray was hit by one of the rocks on his head as he tried to push her away.

"Rena." whispered Ray, already semi unconscious.

" No. don't go Ray. you haven't teach me how to be a beybladers as good as you Ray, you haven't." Rena stammered as she held Ray in her arms.

" You are already as good as me Rena. you already are." said Ray before he fell into unconsciousness.

" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed Rena so loudly when it happened that all the villages stopped fighting and Ray was brought back to his village to be treated. Rena never saw Ray again.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

Rena: /Ray lost his memory after that and he didn't remember me anymore. The feud was resolved when the elders from both our villages took one bit beast each and no one is allowed to leave their villages and cross over the borders to the other one forever. *sigh* Ray soon got to know a girl name Mariah and I heard that they had been together since then./

Ray: *blinks* Are you sure you are alright? You are awfully quiet.

Rena: *smiles* I'm just still a bit tired since I didn't sleep much yesterday.

Ray: Ok then.

Rena: *whispered* How's Mariah?

Ray: *taken back* You know about her?

Rena: /Opps, forgot about that/ Erm. no, but I heard that you know her very well.

Ray: *blush* She's fine I think, I haven't seen her for a while.

Rena: Ok.

[Darkpsychic: ^^ I made this up to explain why Ray found Rena's bit beast so familiar. A sneak preview here, when the two teams get to other countries, there *might*~Hint Hint~ be a chapter where Mariah and Rena fights for Ray and Ray recovers his lost memory! Read on too find out! Well, back to normal mode]

While Kenny and Claire were talking and comparing their data (A/N: It's is going to be pretty lame so I'm not writing it out), Mr Dickinson noticed that Kai and Kari weren't speaking at all

" Come one you two, the others are speaking so happily, why aren't you two speaking?" asked Mr Dickinson as he dragged the two of the closer.

"Duh," said Kari as she started to walk away again before Mr Dickinson's words caught her attention.

" Scared of Kai, Kari? Why are you walking so far from him?" said Mr Dickinson, smiling. The others who were deep in conversation looked up. Even Kenny and Claire looked up even though they were in the middle of a very interesting subject about 'Hyper Text Mark-up Language'

"What makes you say that!" snapped Kari as she turned around to say some more when a rock chose this moment to appear at her feet and tripped her. (Darkpsychic: Muhahahahaha)

/Darn! WHY AM I SO UNLUCKY/ thought Kari as she tripped.

Out of sudden, Kai automatically (A/N: At least it seems to be) stood in front of Kari and she fell right into his arms.

/ARGH./ thought Kari as she blushed, /did I. did I. fell into KAI'S ARMS! I MUST BE DREAMING/

Kai stood there, stunned by his move. There was an embarrassing silent as neither Kai nor Kari made a move. Kari remained in Kai's arms and Kai was still holding her hands.

/What was I thinking!/ thought Kai as he blushed too.

The silent was broke when a loud 'Aww.' came from the rest of their groups and Kai and Kari quickly broke apart and stand as far as they could from each other.

Mr Dickinson smiled, /that should melt the ice in their heart a bit/

"Hey we're there!" Tyson shouted as they reached the school, Kari gave a *small* sigh of relief. /Finally! I can't take this much longer/ They had been a awkward silent ever since the incident happened and Kari can't take it any longer as she tried to walk as far from Kai as possible.

" You can't escape yet," whispered Rena softly as she stood next to Kari and Kari glared at her in reply.

Rena smiled. " You forgot who we sit next to in the hall." she whispered, " the Bladebreakers."

Kari felt a moan escaped from her mouth as she opened her mouth to snap back. /This is definitely not my day/

* * *

~IN THE HALL~

The bladers noticed that a strange sort of obstacle course was right in the middle. Tyson's eyes widen, " Don't tell me we are to go through that," he muttered as he stared at the huge course.

" We are." Kenny told him and Tyson gave a great moan. Kai smirked. " That is of course difficult for you Tyson, since that big belly of yours can't even squeeze through the entrance."

Tyson growled but then smiled when he had a sudden idea, " Thanks for the advice Kai." he told him and Max fell to the ground.

" Are you. alright Tyson?" Max stuttered, unable to believe his ears.

Tyson grinned. " To thank you even more Kai, I'm giving you an advice of my own. Be careful when you go through that course or Kari *might* fell onto YOU! Muhahahahaha." he sneered.

Kai turned red as he remembered the incident and Tyson stood back enjoying the moment before a blade came and hit him hard on his head.

" Ouch. Who did that?!" he shouted and turned around. The black coloured blade returned to its owner's hands.

"Me," replied Kari as she put her blade back on her launcher, " One more word Tyson. or even half a word. I'll make sure this time my blade knocks you OUT!" she snarled dangerously.

/*Gulp* I really got into big trouble this time/ thought Tyson as he smiled nervously and joined Max on the floor.

"Good," said Kari before turning, allowing her midnight blue hair to swish behind her. Kai blinked. /That was beautiful./ he thought before shaking his head, /Damn, what was I thinking/

Kari went back to her usual corner behind her team and no one spoke until Mr Terasumi appeared. (Partly because Tyson is still worried that Kari meant what she had said^^)

"Welcome back bladers to the school. I hope you all had a good rest yesterday because today is going to be more challenging than yesterday," he told them and whispered could be heard from teams to teams.

" I believe all of you had already noticed our big obstacle course here and would have roughly have the idea what we are going to do today." Mr Terasumi continued.

"Yeah I know," Tyson whispered tiredly, " We are going through that stupid course."

Mr Terasumi went on to explain the rules for this 'test'. " I know all of you didn't understand why we tested you on this, believing that it has no connection with Beyblade but I assure you, it will definitely help in some ways in the future."

All the teams soon gathered at the entrance after all the talking, waiting for the signal to start. " Ok, we need to get through this course as fast as we can to get that twenty points so buck up Tyson." Kenny said as he put his laptop aside on the floor.

"Don't worry chief, I'm sure Tyson will try his best." Max assured him and the Bladebreakers walked to the entrance with Tyson lagging behind reluctantly.

"Kenny!" shouted Claire just before he wanted to move, " Mind if I put my laptop on yours Kenny?"

"Sure, why not." Kenny replied, ignoring Dizzi's protest of putting an 'irritating, big mouth' anywhere near her.

"Thanks," thanked Claire before rushing to the entrance. Kenny did the same but was sure to walk away from Claire a bit so as not to feel Kai's wrath later if he ever see him walking with Claire.

* * *

"Before we commence the test, I have some last minute instruction to give out." Mr Terasumi said as all the bladers listen attentively, " At some time of the course, you will come across a cross section. The right one will led to a short cut while the left one will be the longer route. You and your team will have the choice to choose which path you want to go."

/What kind of question is this? Who the hell will want to take the longer route when there's a short cut./ Tyson thought.

"Without further ado, let the test begin." He announced and all the teams rushed forward.

"Aren't we going to rush too?" Kate asked curiously as she noticed that Kari was walking as slowly as she can.

Kari smirked. " Those fools will waste their time when they get halfway through the short cut and then had to turn back and take the long route," she replied.

" So we are taking the long route?" Joy asked after that.

" The short one Joy." Kari replied simply and left Joy in a state of confusion.

The Radicalz soon find themselves walking next to the Bladebreakers, which Kari was most unhappy to notice.

A scowl from Kai at the Bladebreakers side made it clear enough that Kai didn't think too well of the arrangement too. /Hmph. what luck I have today./

The rest of the Radicalz and Bladebreakers, however, were delighted about this arrangement although most of them, except Tyson, tried to hide it under their leaders' murderously stares.

"Hey, how come the other teams kept turning around and going back to the starting place? There must be at least fours teams already and all of them were muttering under their breath." Kenny asked nervously.

The two teams had chosen to go through the obstacles course through the short cut, the Radicalz was because their leader said so and the Bladebreakers was mainly due to Tyson's moans and whining until Kai nearly flared up.

Ray shook his head, " It might be a dead end. Maybe it's a trick used to waste our time," he suggested.

Joy turned to Kari and looked at her curiously, " Kari predicted this before, she said that most of the teams would turn back after they got halfway through the short cut," she told them.

Tyson shrugged his shoulders, " And how exactly did Miss Smart Alex came to this conclusion?" he asked.

Kari rolled her eyes as if that was a stupid question. " You answer this Rena, enlighten this poor MORON."

"YOU!" growled Tyson and Max, Kenny and Ray moved into action immediately and held him back.

"It is because we studied the structure of this course just now and noticed that the short cut ends halfway." Rena started explaining when another team went past them muttering about wasting their time and something about dead end.

"Don't tell me. this trails end with a dead end?" Max asked nervously as they turned the last corner and came face to face to a dead end.

Kenny soon started freaking out. " We are going to be the last team to finish this!" he started moaning.

Kari shook her head and Kai rolled his eyes as they thought in unison (A/N: Telepathy works best between lovers rite? Heh ^^) /Do this guys even use their EYES or do they don't have any at all./

"Damn, all those walking for nothing." Tyson cursed and stamped his foot. Kenny was still freaking and finally Kari could take it no longer.

"DO YOU GUYS EVEN USE YOUR EYES!" she shouted and everyone looked at her, " This is NOT a dead end! If you actually use your haven't-been-used-before- at-all eyes, you might actually NOTICED that there's a opening there?"

Kenny looked upwards to the direction Kari indicated and he started freaking out again. " That's at least two metres tall! How are we going to get up there?!"

"We JUMP for goodness sake. JUMP." Kari replied in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Yeah and I would like to see you try." Tyson sneered looking at the opening, " Is it even possible?"

Kari rolled her eyes to the limit and then took a few steps backward before running and jumped up to the opening. "Next," she shouted and Rena repeated what she did and landed in the opening too.

Tyson's eyes and mouth widened, /Man, how did they do that?!/

Ray smiled and walked to the middle, " It's quite easy Tyson, just run really fast and then jump," he told him and did the same thing, landing lightly at the opening.

'You guys make it look so easy when it isn't at all." Tyson muttered and blinked in surprise as Kai stood forward and jumped up easily too.

"Ok Kate, you're next." Rena said as she stood nearer to the opening, " I'll catch you." She assured her.

One by one, the rest of the Radicalz and the Bladebreakers landed safely at the opening and finally Tyson was left.

"Erm. I think I might need a *little* help for this." Rena sweatdrop and pointed out. Ray laughed, " Tyson is too heavy for you huh?" he said before standing next to her.

"Are you sure this is safe?" Tyson asked nervously as he followed what the others did. /What if I fall? Will I die./

"Come on Tyson, if this goes on, we'll be last even IF we take the short cut." Kenny rushed him as he looked at his watch. (A/N: I think Kenny doesn't even have a watch but then, just pretend he has one^^)

"Ok." agreed Tyson, not wanting to lose, " Here goes nothing." He ran forward and jumped as high as he could but not high enough. Rena and Ray only managed to catch him by his arms barely and they seem to be falling too.

" Guys! We need help!" shouted Rena as Tyson began to drag them down bit by bit.

"Oh my god!" shouted Joy as she rushed forward immediately and held on to Rena. Max, Kate, Kenny and Claire did so right after her too.

The line got longer and Tyson finally landed back down safely but Ray and Rena was dangling in mid air.

"Pull them up now!" Max shouted and Claire and Kenny started pulling but all the weight and the gravitational pull was too great for them and they started falling too.

"What the hell are you all doing!" muttered Kari as she rushed forward in time to grab Claire's shoe.

/This is DEFINTELY NOT my day/ thought an annoyed Kai who had grabbed Kenny's ankle. Ray was still a few inches away from safe landing. All of a suddenly, Claire's shoe came off and she fell right on top of Rena who crash landed seconds before her. Kari, who was just a few inches in the opening, lost her balance and fell too, accidentally grabbing Kai, thus dragging him down too. In the end, all of them were back to where they had started.

* * *

~MEANWHILE~

A team of bladers who were clever enough to take the longer route at the first time had already completed the course.

"First team, Gnostics." Mr Terasumi announced to no one in particular since the rest of the bladers were still in the course.

"Yeah!" shouted the members as they slapped high five, 'We're finally first in something," said Alvin, the brown hair guy in the team.

Ivan smiled, " We finally showed those Radicalz and Bladebreakers that we are good in something, it's so damn irritating to see them pass every single test and you, Don! You even let that Joy beat you and she's a GIRL!" he growled.

Don shrugged, " I didn't know she was a Radicalz, I thought she was just some weak little girl," he protested.

"Well, at least you could be a LITTLE more careful!" the leader, Ivan shouted back.

"Hey guys, speaking of the two teams, can you see what I'm looking at right now?" Terence smirked as he pointed to the floor.

The rest of the team members turned and all smirked evilly. Kenny and Claire's laptop was there on that very same 'floor' they were talking about.

Darkpsychic: The fact that they will be no food there.

Tyson: Argh!
