Chapter 1

"Three. Two. One. Let it rip," Max says and Ray and Tyson launch their blades into the bowl.

"Driger," Ray says.

Then Driger hits Dragoon out of the bowl.

"How did you do that?" Tyson asks picking up his blade.

"You're predictable," Ray says as his blade goes into his hand.

"Maybe you should practice more," Kai says leaning against the wall.

"I practice enough," Tyson says.

"Not from what I've seen," Kai says.

"Kai's right. You need to make new moves," Kenny says. "Or you'll start to lose."

"Isn't Dragoon bored?" Dizzy asks.

"Must be doing those moves over and over," Ray says.

"How should I know?" Tyson asks.

"Don't you communicate with Dragoon?" Max asks.

"No. I don't know what you guys are talking about," Tyson says and turns to Kai. "Do you know what they are talking about?"

"Yeah. You don't?" Kai asks.

"No. I don't," Tyson says.

Kai reaches inside his pocket and touches his blade.

Dranzer?

Yeah Kai?

Does Dragoon talk with Tyson?

I don't think so. Why?

Why doesn't he?

I don't know. Why don't I ask him?

Ok.

Kai pushes himself off the wall but then closes his eyes.

Kai? Is everything all right?

Yeah just got a little dizzy

Maybe the match can wait until tomorrow

Yeah, you're right

Then Kai faints.
