Rain: Hi! I'm getting into Halloween- my way.

M. Tyson: which means a new chaptered fantasy fic.

Rain: I'm going to TRY to do a scary fic- but it will be a one shot. I'm not very good at scary fics. Don't even read them.

M. Tyson: so, Hotaru and I got together and made this fic for her!

Rain: you mean made the idea.

M. Tyson: nah, we have the whole fic planned out. It's in the grey room.

Rain: oh . . .

M. Tyson: Standard disclaimers apply.

It started out as a normal day.

They woke me up, I stuffed my face, and we went to train.

Hi, my name is Tyson. Tyson granger.

At least, it is now.

This is my story.

One of them, at least.

You probably recognize me.

I'm from the world famous beyblading team, the bladebreakers.

I'm the cheerful one.

The klutzy one.

The so-ditzy-he-should-be-a-blond one.

Back to the story.

It had been 4 months since the world championships, and these days we trained with the white tigers.

That helps.

A lot.

But I'm getting off subject again.

So, we went to train with the white tigers.

It was when we got there that things started to get strange.

"I'm telling you," shouted Kevin "that someone must have stolen our bit beasts, or they would have come out when we called them!"

Mariah was sitting on a bench shaking her head silently. She knew what was going on.

All of the blade breakers, minus Tyson, exchanged confused looks.

Had anyone looked at Tyson they would have discovered that he had gone deathly pale and looked about ready to faint.

/No./ thought Tyson /I am over reacting/

//No you aren't, Takao, it is happening./ sent Dragoon.

/No, no, and NO!/ Tyson sent back.

//Don't bother; Master Takao// Drigger added his two cents. //You would have had to tell them soon anyway. It's starting to show.//

/they haven't noticed though, now have they?/

//they would have soon// sang Draciel.

//I have to agree with them, Takao// sent Dranzer. //I don't like it anymore then you do. Especially since you and Kai are directly involved, and he still hasn't remembered!//

/Yes./ replied Tyson /him not knowing will make this infinitely harder./

//Don't worry, storm-lord// said dizzy using his nickname //you'll figure it out.//

/I hope so./ responded Tyson, before realizing his friends had left him behind.

"So your bit-beasts actually won't come out of their blades?" Kenny was saying.

"Yes." Replied an unhappy Lee "it's like they're not there."

"that's because they're not." Said Dizzy.

"Dizz!" hissed Tyson out of the side of his mouth.

No one heard him.

Kenny "What do you mean Dizzy?"

Dizzy "exactly what I said. They are not there."

Tyson felt like hitting her.

Mariah sent him a worried look. She knew that if to many people found out, HE would find out.

And that would be bad. That would be very bad.

"Well, what do you know?" Mariah asked Dizzy nastily. "Maybe we should just go to the local BBA center and ask them?"

"Now, just one moment"- began Kenny, but Tyson was already working on Lee.

"Yeah." Said Lee slowly "yeah, that's probably a good idea. C'mon, guys."

And he led them out of the clearing.

It wasn't very much, but it was enough time for Tyson to get out of there.

He quickly turned back toward where they had come and hurried back to their house.

The others exchanged confused looks but followed.

When they got there, there they discovered four people sitting in their living room.

Tyson stopped dead seeing them, and stated simply "No."

There were 2 girls and 2 boys sitting there.

One boy had dark blue hair and silver eyes.

The other had gold hair and dark violet eyes.

One girl had flame red hair and silver eyes like the blue haired boy.

The other had blond hair, almost white and bold green eyes.

"No." Repeated Tyson.

The two with silver eyes stood up at the same time.

The one with blue hair said "don't you think you should explain to your friends before you start telling us what to do?"

"You aren't supposed to be here." Snapped Tyson even as the red haired girl grabbed him and pushed him into a chair.

The girl with green eyes gestured for them all to sit down. They obeyed, looking confused.

"You better explain to them." The red haired girl said.

"You do it, Dranzer." He snapped. "One of them is YOUR master." He heard gasps and sighed, sliding down in his seat.

"If you'll remember." Stated Dranzer, irritably. "It's your job to explain."

"It's ALWAYS my job." He grumbled but sat back up and looked the rest of his team.

"Alright. First of all, as you have probably already guessed, the four people sitting in front of you are your bit-beasts."

They just sat there, gaping.

"The blue haired one is Dragoon, the one with red hair is Dranzer, the one with green eyes is Draciel, and the one with gold hair is Drigger." He said, unnecessarily.

The 4 bits were beginning to get a bit uncomfortable under the gazes of their masters.

"That doesn't explain it all Ta- Tyson." Said Dizzy.

"Alright. This is a very long story, so I'm going to have to ask that you don't interrupt." They nodded, dumbly.

"It really started, I suppose, about 900,000,000 years ago. During the era of the immortals as it's called. It was just what its name implies, the era when immortals ruled the universe. There were several different types of immortal. The main two are the mages and the spirits. The spirits are what you now call bit-beasts and are very powerful. In fact, the only more powerful beings were the mages. And the Mages, were, well, gods. However, the era came to an end when the mage of death- or, rather, god of death- became angry with the rest of the immortals. He intertwined death into most of the immortals there, existence. Thus, the end of the immortal era. However, a few immortals survived. And all of the spirits did. Only two mages escaped. The two that controlled life. They, with the help of the spirits, banished death to darkness. But it was to late for the other immortals. They had lost their immortality, and there for, their powers. And with the loss of their powers, they lost their memories as well. The spirits went into bit pieces in order to prepare for a prophecy." Here he took a break and took a drink of the water Draciel had brought him.

"The prophesy?" questioned Kenny, who had his scientist face on.

Tyson smiled slightly and sang softly

"5 shall come, they be the best

together they conquer death

two of great power,

one who never let's his soul be breached

the other who's past be mystery

3 more there be

powerless to the naked eye

true powers do lye

one of knowledge

one of faithful friendship be

the thirds power lies within his soul

where his innocence is the key

each of them with a protector

each of them important, yes

for without their help

the universe shall perish." Kenny's brow was furrowed as Tyson took another drink.

"What does it mean?" asked Max, openly confused.

"Well" said Tyson glancing at the bit-beasts who were watching in silence "let's take it apart." He looked amused.

He obviously already knew the answer.

"The first two lines are '5 shall come, they be the best together they conquer death' that basically means that five people will be born, and they will conquer death when he comes back."

"What did it mean by 'they be the best'?" asked Kenny.

Tyson, however just continued as though he hadn't heard him. "the next lines are 'two of great power, one who never let's his soul be breached, the other whose past be mystery' well, that means that 1 of the people who are going to save the world hides his true self away from the world, and the other can't remember his past. Probably amnesia."

"What does this have to do-" Kenny tried again, but Tyson continued to ignore his questions.

"The next lines are '3 more there be, powerless to the naked eye, true powers do lie' well that means that the other three are normal people who are needed. Don't know why."

"Tyson"-

"THE NEXT lines tell us how to find these people. 'one of knowledge' means we're looking for someone whose strength isn't physical, but knowledge itself. Then 'one of faithful friendship be' someone who feels that friendship is the most important thing out there- even if he doesn't say so. Last but not least 'the thirds power lies within his soul, where his innocence is the key' basically someone innocent and naive."

Kenny gave up.

"So, if you put it all together, it's pretty simple. The god of death is back, and there are 5 boys out there who can stop him."

they all stared at him, utterly confused.

Drigger chuckled and Dragoon said, playfully "me thinks you went to fast, Takao. Their minds be addled."

"Yeah, yeah." Muttered Tyson, irritably.

"What does that have to do with us?" questioned Kenny.

Tyson studied him for a long moment.

"Right now, it has nothing to do with you." They looked lost. "But everything to do with me."

"What do you mean?" asked Kenny.

"'one who never let's his soul be breached' that's me." He admitted.

Kenny looked happy to finally be getting answers. "So, who are the rest of them?" he asked, looking at Tyson expectantly, after all, he had known everything else.

To their surprise a flash of pain crossed his eyes, vanishing before they could look more closely.

"I'm not allowed to say. They have to realize for themselves, and believe in their strengths before I can tell anyone who they are." He responded.

Kenny's brow furrowed. "So you mean they don't know who they are?"

Tyson flashed him a smile. "Got it in one, chief." He stood up, stretching.

"We should be getting to bed." He stated.

(we are now in Kai's pov)

I frowned and looked out the window.

Only to find that it was too dark to see anything. I sighed and stood up as well.

[oh, well] he thought [we'll just get more answers out of him tomorrow.]

they all said good night (minus Kai, who just grunted)

and went to their bedrooms (Ray with Max, Kai with Tyson, and Kenny gets his own)

as I slipped into bed I said "you better be prepared to explain some more tomorrow, Tyson."

Tyson, who had been passing his bed stopped and studied me for a few moments making my pulse race.

Wait, rewind and freeze! Tyson made my pulse race?

But it was true. The room suddenly felt infinitely smaller now that Tyson was standing next to his bed studying him.

[There is no way I can be attracted to Tyson] he thought, decisively.

So why couldn't he break eye contact?!

I felt his eyes sweep over my face, and it was sending shivers up his spine.

Tyson smiled down at him, and broke whatever spell he had been casting over him.

He started moving past Kai's bed again before pausing and saying "Kai? Call me Takao." And he got into his own bed, pulling the cover over his bed.

(and now we are back to Tyson's pov!)

(to himself) /why did I do that? I probably scared him half to death. He doesn't even know that soulmates exist, much less the soul mate principle./after a while he used his powers to put himself to sleep.

The next day.

Tyson took a sip of his tea while waiting for someone to get up.

He heard someone walk down the steps and frowned slightly.

Only one person in the house walked like that, and Tyson wasn't quite ready to deal with him.

Kai came down the steps, obviously not noticing Dranzer who was walking behind him silently and pulling faces at his back for waking her up so early. Bit-beasts woke up at the same time as their master everyday. Dragoon was somewhere outside playing with the winds.

Tyson couldn't hold back a laugh at seeing Dranzer, which, unfortunately surprised her causing her to tumble down the steps.

Which caused Tyson to laugh harder and make a phoenix angry.

"Takao . . ." she said slowly.

Tyson stopped laughing sensing imminent danger. "Yes . . ." he replied, watching her closely to see whether or not he needed to get out of there.

"You . . . are . . . a . . . dead man!" she said throwing her self at Tyson.

Tyson, however, had predicted her movement and jumped up landing neatly in the island in the middle of the kitchen.

After that, Dranzer proceeded to chase him all over the kitchen, somehow managing not to knock anything over, screaming things like "Stupid storm!" and "You foolish fireman!" and leaving behind a very confused Kai.

Just then, Dragoon walked in, glanced at them and snickered quietly.

"What's going on?" asked a sleepy Max as everyone came down stairs. (Including the bit-beasts.)

The Bit-beasts (bits, from now on) seeing what was happening, glared at Dragoon until he got up and walked over to where Dranzer was (unsuccessfully) trying to charbroil Tyson.

Tyson was merely dodging, not seeming to have a problem.

Dragoon took Dranzer by the arm and said "as much as I'm sure he deserves this, it defeats the purpose to kill the one you are supposed to protect."

Tyson, seeing that Dranzer was calmed down, sat back in his seat before saying to Dragoon "I did not deserve it. It's not my fault she fell down the stairs." He looked insulted.

At this, the other bits had to stifle a laugh, which announced their presence to their masters.

"How long have you been there?!" exclaimed Ray.

"The whole time, master." Responded Drigger.

Ray looked distinctly uncomfortable at being referred to as 'master' but let it slide. For now.

"What just happened?" demanded Kai.

"I made Dranzer mad, so she tried to char-boil me." Responded Tyson promptly.

They all stared at him.

"Cough up, 'ceil." Ordered Dragoon. "I told you within two weeks. It's been three days."

"Yeah, yeah." Muttered Draciel, handing Dragoon some interesting looking money.

"Two weeks since what?" asked Kenny, curiously.

"Two weeks since Dranzer and Tyson fought. I bet within two weeks. Draciel took my bet." Replied Dragoon.

"You're making money off of us?!" demanded Dranzer, while Tyson beckoned for the other bits to come over by him.

"20 kish says Dragoon charms her out of this." He whispered.

"30, and you're on." Said Drigger, and Draciel nodded.

"Tyson." Said Kenny when they were done (Dragoon and Dranzer had gone into the other room) "I've been thinking about it all night-"

"Literally." Said Dizzy.

"-and I wanted to know more about the protectors you mentioned in the prophecy."

Tyson looked at him seriously. "I can't tell you things like that but" here a twinkle entered his eye "you can ask yes or no questions. Can't promise I'll be allowed to answer them all, but you'll get more out of me that way."

"Alright. Are the protectors bit-beasts?" Kenny.

"Yes." Tyson.

"Okay. It said that 'they be the best' what does that mean?" Kenny.

Tyson looked at him, patiently.

"Oh, right. Okay . . . the best at fighting?" he asked.

"Not quite." Responded Tyson. "but think about the rest of the prophecy, Kenny. Did it mention physical fighting?"

"No . . . but they would have to fight somehow." Kenny.

"Is that a question?" asked Tyson.

"Yes." Responded Kenny.

"Yes, they would have to fight somehow. Just not physically. There are other people who will do that." Said Tyson calmly.

"Who?" asked Kenny eagerly.

Tyson just looked at him, but Ray spoke up. "Mariah."

"Huh?" said everybody minus the bits and Tyson, who merely raised an eyebrow.

"Back when I lived in the village, she would sneak off through the woods a lot. And yesterday, she wasn't shouting just shaking her head like something terrible had happened."

"99.9 percent, Ray." Said a voice from behind them cause the blade breakers minus Tyson to jump.

"Hey, Maia. Glad you could come." Said Tyson, before standing up and offering her his seat.

She laughed and accepted his offer sitting down, gracefully.

It was obviously Mariah, but she looked different. Majorly different. All they could was stare.

Instead of her usual pink hair and eyes, she had forest green eyes, and dark brown hair. Her face had rounded out from her usual cat-like face into a full, mischievous one.

"Such the gentlemen these days, Takao. I still remember when you raced ahead of the rest of us just to prove you could." There was a decidedly evil twinkle in her eyes.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Maia. Now, do me a favor and refrain from using magic until I retrieve Dragoon and Dranzer." He said, moving towards the door to the living room.

"would I do that?" she asked with a smile.

"yes." Responded Tyson, bluntly, before going in the other room.

"So, you're fighting against . . . death?" asked Kenny.

"Yeah." She responded.

"How?" he asked.

She grinned "I'm a forest pixie."

good place to stop. Yes, I'm evil. No, I'm not going to tell you what a forest pixie is until you review! I want at least one review before I post the next chapter (I'm, going to write it either way) so take the hint and REVIEW!
