Part 2 Continuation of Witch Queen Hilary/Hiromi's Origin
I know people on tumblr like , were interested in reading what happens after Hilary is found out as witch or how the blade breakers found out, because the origin story really was about how she became school girl Hilary Tachibana and what was the real Hilary underneath the cover up of her being this independent and compassionate school girl that was Tyson's classmate. Because in the long run, she became sort of an enigma because we never see her other life. everyone was about her support for the boys, we rarely saw her personal life at home, we rarely saw her talking about her family, personal life, and past events she has experienced. Everything it seemed the writers explicitly meant to make her life turn around and adrenaline addicting when she goes on adventures with Tyson and his friends and that is suppose to be an awakening call of her character becoming part of the team.
So much of that is fair, but also unrealistic. No one in real life is like that, even the most plain person in the world has had some kind of drama and issues in their past to tremble and challenge their character, and have some how kept those dark secrets, whether they were feelings or actions, away from the surface to try to show an appealing reputation as normal and average in public. It is by far, real. Because everyone has a part of themselves that make them interesting, and that interesting is also normal because it is part of themselves.
With this, I have long thought hard of what kind of appropriate come back for Hilary returning her state as a witch would be and how the witch characters I have created would come into full play here while also keeping the somewhat traditional sense of Beyblade but also try treating it like their audience was older and smarter. Something in which I find myself constantly having trouble believing anyone would care to even read or watch if it was real. The greatest thing that has happen in these few months and weeks is that I found that it is something that people would read and watch. A small portion of Tumblr has helped realize my works are worth something. And it has atleast given me the confidence to continue the story of Hilary the Witch Queen and her journey to bringing the world of paganism into the open again.
So much in my country has been going on, our new president by the end of week may call for a shut down of the government while also arresting wiki leaks, a freedom of speech site where they don't steal information, they publish it for all to see. So while learning and rereading the tales of the Witchcraze and many other recurring events all over the world that seems to be repeating again presently, I feel I need to write this to remind people that your not just citizens in your country, but people of the world, whether you are of different faiths, race, gender, or occupation, we are human beings, and we still have a chance to make sure humanity remains in not just our environments, but in ourselves as well. Hope and taking action to send a message, whether it be by any medium, the one thing as artists we are, is we are the messengers to our society, we remind you of the grief and pain as much as the good and purity as well. It is not to shame you, it is to remind and teach you that certain mistakes made are meant to teach us to not make the same mistake again. I hope my story of Hilary will help you see that, considering I am part of a community that has been stereotyped as evil, I might as well tell you what that evil really is on my side, and how similar mine is to yours. In the long run, I hope we will find that we are more similar then you think, even with the differences we have.
By the time Bega had crippled and the BBA Association was building itself up again slowly, the bladebreakers; Ray, Max, Tyson and Kai have decided to stick together in Japan with Kenny and Hilary helping out the company bring itself back up as an international company. It didn't take long, as the association still had many ties to the BBA and its international commercializations and sponsors, it was easy for the BBA to make a comeback. One of their connections of course was Max's mother and her science company in specializing in beyblades and beybladers, helped to reach the BBA build one of its headquarters in New York again, this time to promote it would be Tyson and his teammates who defeated the opponent Bega last summer for their international challenge against Boris and his company to return everything they can back to the BBA, and have Mr. Dickenson be back in control and have loyal proper surrogates to have by his side, in case a scheme like Boris did with the BBA would ever happen again.
Upon their arrival in New York, the group team was invited to visit Max's mother, Judy Tate to her Beyblade Engineer center where they do all kinds of mechanical and even historical and scientific studies of the sport beyblade and their inventions to help further increase the enjoyment of the sport. While Max was excited to see his mother, Kenny, the chief engineer, mechanical expert and genius of the team, was excited to see the new preparations of the beyblade engineering compound and the new inventions they have created for future beybladers. Hilary was just glad to come to New York again and see the sights, but also appreciative of seeing Judy again, as she was a respectful and very intelligent woman.
Judy went to take the group of kids to show the prototype beyblades, meeting up with the former PPB All Starz members, Rick, Emily, Eddy, and Micheal. Judy showed the team the prototype beyblades and while that was going on, Hilary heard a faint singing voice singing a familiar song she hadn't heard in awhile, and she knew she was the only one who could hear it, as she turned her head to find the singing voice, she spotted behind them on a table, an open package that had a silver and black beyblade inside of it, Hilary gasped noticing what it was when suddenly Judy's hand appeared to close the opened package to hide what Hilary was staring at. Judy tells Hilary to not look at what she tried to cover with her hand, but this got Max's attention and asked what his mother was hiding from. Judy took a deep breath and let it out as calm as she could as she uncovered her hand to take out the black and silver beyblade but quickly put it on the table as it stung her fingertips. Thats when Judy decided to tell Max that he had an Aunt that his mother never told him about. Judy Tate had an older half sister who she found out recently was dead and had a few of her belongings delivered to her from South Carolina, since it took the police and customs awhile to find any family members listed in her papers, finding out Judy's half sister kept her existence a secret for awhile from people like the IRS and the government. Judy just found out with her delivered belongings her older sister was dead, and has been dead for about twenty years now, but it took that long for her to be notified her death because her sister kept her life unknown to the public.
Judy explains that Max's aunt was named Abigail Winters and that she never told about her to Max because she ran away from home when she was only 13 and Judy was very very young when she left. Judy tells Max while his group of friends listen that before his grandfather married his grandmother, Judy's mother, he was once married to another woman, Abigail's mother, who left his grandfather because she was being harassed and mistreated for being what Judy explained was, "Unique" and "different" so the neighbors drove her out of her home hoping that if she leaves, things will get better for her daughter and husband so they wouldn't have to go through the whispers and mistreatment that she went to while living there. This caused Max's grandfather to remarry to Judy's mother, and they had her. But Abigail grew very much similar to her mother, and she scared Judy's mother, because her "Unique" and "different" ways on how she is worried Judy's mother of Judy's safety. Abigail one night overheard the conversation between her father and step mother and was horrified that she may have to do the same thing her mother did, feeling unwanted and unloved. the next morning Abigail confronted Judy's mother and they argued while young Judy played in the corner of the living room. They both screamed and Abigail caused an uproar earthquake in the house that terrified Judy's mother and went to protect Judy grasping her at the corner of the living room. Abigail seeing the kind of mother her step mother is, knows now that she would prefer Judy over her any time and left the house, never returning.
Judy tells Max that the last time she saw Abigail was days before she was going to marry Max's father. She found a way to contact Abigail and had tea gathering together where she wanted to invite Abigail to her wedding, hoping she can bring back the rest of her family since she is going to be married soon. She wanted so much of Abigail regroup her family since there was still no way of finding out what happened to Abigail's mother when she left. She thought she could mend the wounds of the past with a new start. But Abigail refused saying that she ran away disowning Judy and her mother and doesn't wish to be part of anything of that kind of past. Abigail didn't forgive her father and didn't forgive her step mother and knew she would raise Judy to fear Abigail because her own step mother didn't want her. Abigail left Judy alone that day and taught her a life lesson: to always be there for yourself and for your own benefit, and let nothing else stop you. You will always be on your own, and sadly that is something that young Judy had realized when she focused on her work and had to separate herself from her husband.
Max didn't know how to handle the news, but Judy continued telling Max that the package had this silver and black beyblade in it, delivered by the customs that it belonged to Abigail. so Judy is going to try to test it and understand it's makeshift. Because she never knew her sister beybladed and also there is something on it that may hurt anyone who touches it, so she wonders if it's either poisoned or contaminated somehow. But she feels if she studies this beyblade, she will find a little more about her half sister, someone who she had always felt was an enigma to her has emotionally kept secret from anyone for so long.
Hilary can suddenly hear the voice singing again faintly as Judy finishes her explanation. She hears it coming from the silver beyblade and can see there is a spirit inside trying to get Hilary's attention. She knows whose voice is it, and starts to feel agitated unsure of what she should do in her situation as it appeared she was the only one hearing the singing voice and nothing else. She didn't know if she should call attention to it, or tell someone. Max then goes over to pick up the beyblade but Hilary tries to stop him, but couldn't when he asks her why, she didn't have any explanation for him. He then continued to pick up the beyblade only it burnt his finger tips which made Judy side with Hilary on why he shouldn't have touched it. Max asked his mother what made Abigail and her mother "Unique" and "different" that caused everyone else to drove them away. Judy explains her mother never really explained, just that she told Judy once there was some kind of evil inside of her that Abigail couldn't control. But Judy never believed it. Hilary came to look closer to the beyblade, the only one of the group staring very intensely at it, Hilary was secretly trying to tear the beyblade apart from the inside, but the beyblade started spinning by itself causing the lights in the room to flicker and the electricity to go on and off.
Everyone backed away from the beyblade, as it started to spin by itself picking up speed and creating wind in the room as papers fly and then chairs started to fly off and hit the walls and windows. A great dark mist started to form out of the center of the beyblade as it spun, and as the mist formed into a dark smokey figure, Hilary could hear the singing voice continue getting louder and louder as it formed, noticing that the other people in the room could start to hear the song too. There in full figure, the smoke formed Abigail's spirit in front of them, her ghostly figure, sitting on the table with bright white dead eyes, angry and intense. She took out a cigarette and placed it in her mouth, suddenly the cigarette lighted itself and she inhaled and blew out a large puff of smoke.
Abigail introduced herself and walked over to Judy, coming uncomfortably close to her, saying she wasn't wanting to see her little half sister. Abigail told the group that she is clearly dead, but didn't come out to say hello. She had unfinished business with her daughter. Judy asked when did she have a child, and Abigail said she had two, one died and the other she is aware is still alive. Max realized he had a cousin still around, and Judy asked what was it that she needed to finish with her daughter. Abigail was annoyed with her and told Judy it was because she was murdered by her daughter and she needed a talk to her. She spouted at Judy that she didn't care about her and wondered why her witchblade was even sent to her, since she spent so long making sure she never came across Judy and her mother and father again. Abigail noticed Max and asked if he was Judy's son. Max said yes to her, as Abigail lifted his chin up to look at him closely, disappointed with what she saw. Abigail only came back because some kind of familiar presence tried to destroy her vessel that her spirit has possess to survive in. She claimed her daughter is here, and has something important to talk about. Thats when she called out Hilary's name, where everyone turned their heads shocked at Hilary who was only glaring back at Abigail.
Abigail said she had been watching Hilary all these years, even though her spirit has been taking occupation in her witchblade. She knows that when Hilary left the coven after the massacre, she left the country and then was blessed and coronated by the goddess of witches Hecate, becoming the first witch queen to her kind in several years. She was angry that Hilary has spent her years in hiding, covering herself in glamour magick hiding her true self from the public. When she should have been taking out the people whose ancestors persecuted their kind. Abigail believed Hilary could have taken her witch queen status and formed and army and revolution, taking down the power house Vatican that controls most of the world and eliminate the fundamentalist, bringing back witchcraft and paganism again by wiping away the ones who started the inquisition. Abigail felt that Hilary became weak, since she had so much hope for her, she became the powerful witch but she doesn't use that power the way she should , she doesn't kill for justice anymore and thought of Hilary had become too soft since she started to hang out with the blade breakers, calling them moronic men. When Hilary glared back at Abigail and said, "killing in the name of justice? I killed you, didn't I?"
This caused Abigail to get angry her spirit's supernatural abilities threw Hilary across the room and shatter through a glass wall and doorway, having her fall and slide to the ground. Tyson and the group came to help Hilary, but she took a large shard of glass, and crawled to the back wall of the hall way, leaning against it.
She looks around for Abigail's spirit but sees that she disappeared and so did her witchblade. Max and Judy tried to get Hilary explained what Abigail meant, but Hilary ignored them, she took the shard and stabbed it in her chest, took it out ripped off her skin, suddenly bursting into flames, and her skin underneath she was trying to rip off revealed galaxies underneath, as she stood up, tears off parts of her skin each time, sets her figure on fire, revealing more space like galaxies inside, under her flesh instead of blood and bone.
The flames finally eased away, as her true self was revealed. Hilary's eyes were blue, she had dark crescent moon mark on her forehead, Her finger nails grew back long and claw like, while what appeared around her neck, was a silver jeweled beyblade. She got up, clawing her hands out, as her knuckles and limbs cracked, she looked around and she motioned her arms that caused the wall to catch fire, but quickly went away, as she motioned her other hand to telekinetically crush tables and shattered glass doors and ceiling lights, she managed to look around, avoiding eye contact with everyone else, as she motioned her hands to cause the shattered glass to float upwards, there Abigail appears again, and Hilary causes the glass to catch fire and shoot at Abigail, making this large fire explosion, Hilary making sure that somehow the hallway was still kept intact.
Hilary went out to find and track down Abigail's spirit. She left the group only they insisted on following her, as Abigail's ghost through the building attacked and assaulted Hilary, as she fought back with her witch abilities, tearing apart the building.
The building fell apart from the ceiling as Hilary pulled concrete out of it to hit Abigail, but Abigail wrestled her down, only so Hilary could teleport herself away and attack her from behind, thus Abigail dropped her witchblade Hilary was able to grab it before she could, and attack her again trying to slice her with fiery hands but her spirit suddenly vanished and Hilary tried to use her senses to track where her spirit went. She ran back to the beyblade prototype room where she caught Abigail trying to choke the life out of Judy. Max and the group who followed watching Hilary with her fight with Abigail, followed her back to the prototype room where Max tried to stop Abigail hurting his mother when starting to run towards the two, but Hilary used her telekinetic abilities to pull Max away fiercely that it looked like a powerful force pulled back where his body flew into his friends and crashed into him.
Hilary called out 'mother!' getting her to stop choking Judy. Abigail stopped to look at Hilary. Hilary insisted on having Abigail tell her what she wanted from her.
Abigail let go of Judy as she coughed and gasp for air. Abigail walked over to Hilary slowly and a little closer. She said that all that she did for her, for tiffany, for the coven, was to insure that witches can come back to the real world, that she can eliminate the ignorance by getting rid of the people whose ancestors burned and killed their kind over nothing. Over their own kind, that paganism is the original and first religion that has ben recorded, and what created Christianity and Catholicism to begin with, but the people who turned to a man on a cross didn't want to work with the trancesendants who were the messengers between the living and universal gods. And they destroyed their own kind, caused so much massacres. Paganism had to come back, the old gods and religions needed to come back and be treated with respect and equality, but Abigail believed there is no way that anyone would try to change. That forever from 2 thousand years ago, the bible written by men who thought they wanted the world to be the way it is, destroyed the very essence of paganism as anything good or respected. It was that kind of thing that drove Abigail's mother away, forcing Abigail to learn on her own how to survive as a witch, and the only way she can ever come in the open and not hide in the shadows anymore is to eliminate the ones who are responsible who destroying their world. She believed they needed to come out by taking out the ones who are in control and take their place.
Now that Hilary is queen, Abigail didn't understand why she hasn't done it yet, she's spent years in hiding, in disguise like she was ashamed of who she was, hiding who she is and pretending to be someone else just so she can live another day residing with the beyblading team she has become part of.
Abigail thought that Hilary would have wanted to punish the people that have not only wronged her, but have even tried to kill her for who she is. Abigail reminded her again that the only family she can ever have, is of her own kind, there is no way she can be accepted in both kinds, human and witch.
Hilary only spoke in return about how she believes in people now then she ever did before. She is not only Hilary Tachibana, the school girl because she wants to survive and not be hunted and killed, but she is Hilary because she has to find out what kind of queen she wishes to be. Hecate wants the witches and pagans to come out of the shadows, but in her own way. in her own peaceful way, so much blood shed had she caused, even after Abigail's passing. Before the goddess of witches crowned, Hilary was kidnapped and prisoned in a witch hunter family's torture camp. They had their youngest in the family, a boy of nine years old, to practice shooting witches by giving him a gun and shooting at a line she and a few girls would forced to line up in and be shot at. She stopped the boy to get her to like her, but by the time she took down the torture camp and set ablaze the farm, Hilary had to kill the boy because his family already got to him. He wanted to own Hilary, make her his own slave, marry her, and forcibly convert and be forever reminded he sees her as tainted and only wishing for death as release. She had to kill the boy because he surely already believed witches were evil and liked killing them, because he felt like a hero. Never in her life, has she felt she deserved to die, she begged the gods to kill her, but Hecate came and rebirth her and made her queen instead. Not because she killed and stopped the witch hunters, but that she was willing to make the hardest decision, like killing a child, that made her worthy to be queen of her own kind. And even more because she wasn't and still isn't happy of her decision. Hilary learned she had taken in and carried burdens and took responsibility for everyone and herself all her life, even in the Coven, that she earned her crown because Hecate helped her see she is willing to take the burdens and sorrows and carry them as her strength to help and revolution her kind. But most of all, Hecate believed that she would bring her kind back in her own and compromising way.
Hilary explained that her job now is to protect these boys, after she made a deal with their holy beasts they wanted her to stay and help the bladebreakers because they are her new family now, she admitted to Abigail that she never told them because she was waiting for the right time, but the more she waited, the more she feared because she was in love with all of them, and didn't want to lose them. For her sake, she was willing to be school girl Hilary because they made her happy, they made her feel she was normal for the first time in her life. And she knows that if they can't forgive her, she is okay with that, because she is so grateful to experience the human world in a peaceful normal manner, a way for her to see not just so many national witches perspective, but she is also experienced the perspectives of humans across the world. And she sees peril, but also sees hope and determination and strength, something that she feels we can all learn from each other. She doesn't believe eliminating the people whose ancestors who killed witches, but she does believe they can progress and learn, through the hardship and the suffering. Hilary has seen violence only can breed more violence, and as witches they do the same thing. As the living witches they are, they bleed the same as humans, and witches aren't far off like humans if they end up repeating the same acts of violence and history.
Hilary tells Abigail that she loves her, and she is grateful for being the mother she never had, for taking her in, for teaching her the craft, for taking Tiffany in as her sister, for everything that she has done. But Hilary couldn't take the fact that deep down you didn't care about anyone else but her, not her sister witches in the coven, not even Tiffany, making her the one and only child of Abigail's that she could ever care about, Hilary couldn't take the fact that to erase the rest of the witches in the massacre, she had to kill the younger witchlings. That's why she took the axe and swung it to her face. She was so devastated and angry that she was willing to only keep the only one she felt she needed the most, everyone else was replaceable. Hilary believed that when she brought in the witchlings to form the coven, she was saving them from their abuse, their lives in foster care, from their pimps and their pedophile fathers and mothers who took advantage of them, she believed she was saving them like Abigail saved Hilary from the streets. She realized that even if Abigail was the mother she always wanted, she was also the mother that should never be. And she couldn't accept that. Hilary felt she justified the people that she made the coven kill for her by murdering Abigail, but she will always regret the decisions she made. Hilary told Abigail that she is free from her in death now, and she is ready to be her own kind of witch, her own witch queen, the way she wants it, the way she deserves.
Hilary took out Abigail's witchblade and said, "Im sorry mother, but i have to kill you again. You have to let go now. Please trust me I will do everything it is that we wanted, but Im going to do it my way for now on." And Hilary crushed the witchblade, crumbling into ash and dust as Abigail's spirit fades away. Hilary could only cry in despair as she saw Abigail fade away from her, releasing her spirit and never seeing her again. Her despair created a rupture of flames and smoke as she cried out screaming knowing she had to kill her mother twice. As the push of her power just exploded in the room, the group of beybladers were untouched, but were blown at by the aftershock.
Hilary kneeled down distraught and tearful, she started to sing the song that Abigail was singing to her when in the beyblade.
"Dee da, Dee da, Blackcoat's daughter..
What was in the holy water…
Gone to bed with an unclean head…
The angels they forgot her…
Dee da, dee da, blackcoat's daughter…"
Judy was being helped by Max when she recognized the song Hilary was singing to herself. Judy came and kneeled down next to Hilary, asking her where she heard that song. Hilary explained that Abigail sang to her when she was sad or had nightmares. Judy told Hilary that Abigail sang that song to her when she was young, and sang it to her the last time before she ran away. Judy hesitated but said that she is grateful that Hilary saved her and if Hilary needed any help, she can come to her and Max and her husband now that their family, but Hilary stopped her before could say family. Hilary asked Judy to leave her alone. Judy got up and walked over to the group of beybladers while Hilary gathered the ashes of the Abigail's witchblade and put it in a box.
Tyson walked over to Hilary and hesitated to say something to her. But he asked her when she was actually thinking of telling them that she was a witch. Hilary didn't answer him. She asked him why he was hear. Told Tyson that he shouldn't' forgive her, because she tricked and used him for her own benefit. She told Tyson that he shouldn't speak to her anymore. Kai asked why, and Hilary said she needed to be punished for the wrong that she did. And she believed that she deserved it. But Hilary gasped in shock feeling an earth shattering feeling. She gasped that Abigail is still here, that she never left. Hilary got up and turned around where everyone could see Abigail's spirit has attached to her back and she forced herself to possess Hilary.
Abigail took over Hilary's body and struck Tyson pushing an invisible form on him that flew backward to the ground. Abigail in Hilary's body clawed her hands as everything in the room set fire and started rising up wards, levitating and having glass objects break apart mid are and angled towards the blade breakers. She literally burst into flames caused the room to shake and jolt.
Hilary took over for a second and stopped Abigail, and crying out that to the bladebreakers, that she loves them.
She took her arm and shot it out toward the group and they felt she pushed them backward, when in fact Hilary transported them into another place, straight in a upstairs room where they could see through an open window the eiffel tower. Someone walks into a room, a French African woman, walking into seeing the group, startled at first. She asked who they are, and they explain their world champion beyblade athletes. She asked how they got in her room, and Judy explained that it would be too complicated to explain. But she threatened to call the police, if they didn't. Ray tried to explain that someone brought them here. She had a puzzled look on her face, when she asked if it was a witch that brought them here. They were all surprised and told her yes. She assumed that they were brought here for a reason, for some kind of help. Max asked who she is, which the young women said, "Im Tituba, the voodoo bone witch."
Thats all for now! Part three will be written on my free time from finals or later! Thank you again for all of you to be supportive of my interests and my stories of beyblade and witchcraft! I hope you enjoy the story so far! I hope people will be interested in the third part.
