Rise of the Beasts

Chapter 1: After the Good Old Days

~ The excited cheering of hundreds of kids, the sweet harmony of blades colliding. These were the things that made Tyson Granger truly feel as though he could do anything he set his heart to. Those were the good old days~

"Tyson?"

"…"

"Tyson!" Hillary took a death grip to her designer purse and slammed the pink leather down hard onto Tyson's unexpecting head with a loud bam. That would probably be the last time he ignored her…maybe.

"Gyaaaa! Hillary ? Are you trying to kill me or something?" Tyson grabbed his throbbing head and winced at the pain as he softly rubbed what felt like a growing bump. SHIT! Did she carry bricks or what? He repeatedly glanced and checked his gloved hand for any sign of blood. Luckily there was no crimson fluid on his leather glove.

"Grrrrr! Tyson this is the first date in weeks we've been able to have since you decided to occupy your days off from work with giving lessons to newbie bladers !" Hillary's yell slowly dropped to a sigh. She knew she couldn't win against Tyson when his mind was on blading.

"I'm sorry Hil." Tyson draped his arm around Hillary's shoulder and drew her closer," I was…just thinking about the past."

"Hmmm? Like what? How far back?"

"You know. Back when blading was all that really mattered to me. I spent every minuet practicing. I still love the game, but there are more things now that matter beside that. I got a job to think about now and I got to keep an eye on Daichi." Tyson took a quick dreamy glance to the sky then turned to Hillary," All those things matter now. Their important. But do you know what is even more important then that?"

"What?"

Tyson grinned and softly kissed Hillary on the cheek," You. You are my world. You are all I need."

"Oh Tyson, you big flirt." Hillary flushed a bright pink and giggled like a love struck high school girl.

It had been six years since the Bladebreakers last fought Boris and Brooklyn. After the whole saving the world routine came and went everyone went their separate ways. Tyson was twenty-one now and working hard at the biggest Bey shop in Japan to put food on the table. He also took Saturdays and Sundays to teach new bladers the true meaning about blading. Rei returned to China and opened a famous restaurant with his newly wed wife Mariah. Max moved back to America with his mother and took up surfing. Daichi went back to his home village for like not even an entire day then came running back with all his stuff to declare that he was staying with Tyson to become his long lost little brother. Of course Tyson protested with a couple of smacks here and yells there but he had to admit he missed Daichi in his few hour absence so he allowed him to stay. As for Kai, no one knows what happened to him. He just up and disappeared one day and nobody knows why. So beside not knowing where Kai landed next, everything is just peachy with the blade breakers.

Tyson scratched his head and wondered how the other teams were doing?

The wind blew harshly with a savage roar of a wild beast and the cabin creaked and thumped as though that beast was trying to break its way into the cabin. All that noise was beyond driving Bryan more senile then normal.

" Nyaaaaa! Tala! I can't take this much longer!"

"Say what?" Tala looked over his 'Top Russian Murders' book to Bryan who was squeezing his shoulders in a self death constriction. Tala raised a red eyebrow and shook his head in disapprovement. "I suggest you stop that. Nakita(1) told you the pain will ease in time if you would just leave it alone," Bryan shrugged off what his captain said and began to savagely bite his shoulders. Blood covered his mouth and the taste of iron filled him to a near gag reflex. Bryan sighed at the blood that covered his white tank-top and the small drops that got on his grey shorts. He'd forgotten that his old teeth had all fallen out into shattered pieces and were replaced with canines and sharper ones. Frustrated and angered, Tala stood up quickly and chucked his heavy novel at Bryan, hitting him in the side of the head. The book fell to the floor into a puddle of blood with a slight splash. "Bryan! I command you to seize this barbaric behavior. I will not tolerate you to continue killing yourself!" Bryan shot a grey death glare at Tala just to have a pale blue icy one shot back at him. Bryan lowered his head in defeat, wishing his grey hair was long enough to hide the fact his eyes were getting rather cloudy. He released a sigh.

"How do you expect me to stop when all this god forsaken noise is driving me insane? I can't tell the difference between the house creaking from my fucking bones cracking!" As on cue a loud glass colliding with concrete shatter rang in the cabin, over throwing the roar of the wind outside. Bryan fell to the wood floor in agonizing pain, the grey haired male curled up, knees to his chest and hand clenching hair, he yelled and screamed in all means that said he was in complete pain. Tala watched his team-mate and winced at the sight of bone fragments protruding from the others knees. This wasn't right, all his bones should have broken all at once, his skeleton should have regenerated a long time ago into a more powerful one. It didn't take Tala this long, why was it taking Bryan three days and possibly more? Was Nakita right? Was Bryan to….. NO! No way in hell was a warrior of his not capable of a little transformation. Bryan would not allow such a simple thing gone wrong kill him.

The shattered protruding bone in Bryan's knees slowly began to pull back, fusing back to together to create a more sturdy and stronger bone then the old one. As the healing progressed the pain faded, as if never there. A fever began to form and sweat streamed down his face. Bryan weakly staggered to his feet and smiled at Tala .

"Well how do you feel?" Tala walked over to Bryan and afforded himself as support.

"Tired, but okay." Bryan breathed heavy and pulled up the hem of his bloody tank-top to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He grinned at his captain and placed his hands on Tala's shoulders for support ."I think its ov-" Bryan's eyes dilated and his face twisted in agony once more. His legs gave out and he fell forward taking Tala with him.

"Bryan?" Bryan buried his face into the other male's chest and yelled out in a horrirable piercing scream. It felt as though someone was clawing at his back with a rigged dagger slowly all the while someone else took hold of his spine and pulled savagely to remove it. This pain was far from over.

Tyson froze in place, dropping his spoon, sending three peas rolling off the table. A cold sweat took over him causing every hair on his body to stand at attention. He slowly turned to Daichi and starred at him for a moment before saying," D-Daichi?"

"Yeah…. I felt it to." The chicken leg that Daichi held shook uncontrollably .

"It felt like…. Someone we know just –"

"Don't say it Tyson!" Daichi slammed his hands down on the table sending his chicken leg down to the floor to join the peas.

"Whoa! What's going on little dudes." Grandpa Granger entered from the kitchen with a bowl of steaming dinner rolls, he raised one bushy grey eyebrow at both boys and placed the glass bowl down. "Is there something wrong with ma cookin'?"

"No way gramps!" Daichi grabbed hold of a dinner roll and shoved it into his mouth and muffled out, "It's great as usual! It's just…" Daichi turned to Tyson with bits of roll falling out of his mouth. Tyson stayed starring at what seemed like the table but in reality he was looking beyond it. It really seemed as though he had seen a ghost. Finally Tyson snapped out of his daze and looked up at grandpa.

"Everything is fine grandpa. Don't worry . Just a misunderstanding." Mr. Granger looked at Tyson unbelieving, but nodded in agreement anyway.

"Don't GO!"

"Max?" Judy rushed over to Max's bed side and placed her hands on his shoulders in hopes of calming him down, "Sweetie, what's wrong?" Max grabbed hold of Judy's arms in a death grip and looked up at her with fear in his eyes.

"Mom! I… then he…" Max slurred and stuttered all his words in panic and then suddenly paused. He starred blankly all around himself and released a sigh of relief. Judy smiled warmly at her son and stroked his blonde hair softly.

"Go back to sleep now hunny." Judy gently pushed Max back down, "Good night hun."

"Mom! I'm leaving now!"

"Be careful Maxxy! I Don't want to hear that you got stuck in another undertow!"

"Don't worry Judy I'll keep an eye on the little beach bum." Rick winked at max and ruffled up his blonde mass more then normal.

"So I heard you had one hell of a harsh scare last night" Rick smirked at Max deviantly.

"Hmmm? Oh, it was just a nightmare." Max took a tight grip to his board and thought back to his nightmare, "Yeah, just a nightmare."

~"Tyson? Hey what are you doing in America buddy?" Max laughed joyously and reached for Tyson to give him a slap on the shoulder, but to his absolute horror before Max touched him, Tyson disappeared in a grayish purple smoke and began to float over to what looked like a silver coffin. The smoke that was once Tyson began to reform to it's original state, right next to the coffin. "Tyson?..." Max was slightly scarred and curious about what or who might be in that coffin. A cold rush stormed in his head and his legs began to shake, something told him not to go. "Huh?" A cold touch engulfed his shoulder and sent a shiver down his spine. Max turned to the right and fell back in fright. Standing next to him, without warning, was Tala. The red haired Russian stood in a daze at the coffin. A daze that one got when something horrorable happens and they don't know why. His body shook and he mumbled something that Max could not understand. Then suddenly Tala shot out his hand and yelled, "Don't Go!"~

"Rick?"

"What?"

"I have to go"

"What? Where… the bathroom? You don't have to announce it you know."

"No, To Japan"

"JAPAN?"
