Dancing In The Dark
Chapter 7 – Dranzer's Meltdown
Staring at his beyblade spinning in the centre of the dish stubbornly, the Hiwatari just couldn't find that connection he once had with beloved Dranzer. It's as if the bit-beast didn't agree with his mixed emotions that he was feeling. Maybe the phoenix just wasn't used to the new 'lovesick' mush. The creature was used to a strong and withdrawn young man who had a point to prove in life. But now it's as if Kai's ambition had gone straight out the window because he'd admitted his weak feelings for Tyson.
The worthy rival who was standing in the way of Kai and the legendary success of becoming the best beyblader that had ever lived. After all, in Dranzer's view, Kai deserved the legendary success he'd worked so hard to gain.
"Come on Dranzer." Kai hissed amongst himself and closed his eyelids to hide the pain that he was experiencing. If he lost this match, he knew he wouldn't forgive himself easily.
But after a deep moment of thinking whilst being under pressure, the Bladebreaker captain tilted his head back to embrace the sounds of Michael's blade crashing into Dranzer. He's was really drilling into the phoenix to ware Dranzer down even more.
Why isn't the bit-beast doing as it's told? I don't feel unstable as I did last night. I'm not alone anymore, I want to go on that date too – Kai bit down on his dry lower lip.
Then it hit him.
Dranzer was jealous.
The loyal creature was used to having Kai's full attention; she shared the desire to become the best. Yet these weak emotions were destroying everything they both had ever dreamed of: Holding that trophy up in the air whilst sticking up his two middle fingers to the Hiwatari family. Power, acceptance and justice - that is what they dreamt of on good night.
Suddenly Kai's eyelids flew wide open and his heart jumped with glee. "You are jealous." He lowered his head to focus on his Dranzer beyblade.
"Me? Jealous of you? You have got to be kidding me." Michael laughed and folded his arms cockily. "Dude, it's a disgrace to say that you are the only worthy rival of 'Tyson Granger.' Finish him off!"
Disgrace? Jealous? Lovesick? Tyson… – The blue beyblade then stopped spinning on the spot and remained up straight for a second.
"Shut up Michael." Kai snapped feeling humiliated at this point, despite that he refused to show it. "You'll get what you deserve when I'm done playing with you."
The tension in the atmosphere suddenly become unbearable for everyone who was witnessing this fight. People were on the edge of their seats and the commentator just couldn't find the words to describe this situation. It was shocking and tongue twisting.
Meanwhile at the bench, the Bladebreakers were falling to pieces as they knew this match should have ended ages ago. Rei was leaning against the dome wall with an unimpressed expression on his face. Max was jumping and shouting encouragement to his captain. Kenny was shaking his laptop and Tyson was seconds away from running over to bitch slap his secret lover in front of the world.
"Huh?" The PPA Allstarz captain muttered and turned his attention back to the dish. "Trygle! No!"
"KAI COME ON!" The Dragoon holder screamed at the top of his lungs, sick of this drama. He clenched his fists and began to take deep breaths to remain 'calm' as possible. "He should have destroyed Michael by now. I just don't get it Kenny."
"Didn't you hear what he just said? It's Dranzer." The brunette beyblade whizz replied, hinting at Tyson to shut up and listen more often. "She's unsettled about something."
"Dranzer? What the hell can that bird be upset about?"
"Tyson, uh…" The Draciel wielder's pupils widened and he started to scan his surroundings. "I think we need to get out of here, now."
"Why?" The champion turned around to face his American friend with a confused expression on his face.
Dranzer was angry and she'd had enough. The beyblade began to spin again and the phoenix rose from the still beyblade like a Goddess who had a punishment to give. She glanced down to the Bladebreakers and screeched loudly at the top of her lungs. The room shook and the temperature plummeted sky high.
Kai took a big step back and shielded his face with his hands. The flames were so vibrant and violent that people in dome had to run to the nearest exit to avoid being burnt (that's if they got lucky).
By now Michael's beyblade had crashed into the blue spinning object – to only result in his Trygle being vaporised. The only item Dranzer spared in fury was the bit-beast chip and that lay against the ground of the cracking dish.
Here we go, her first tantrum – The Russian deep down was loving every minute of this. It was like his connection with his best friend had been brought to life once more. He felt fit and strong with joy sparkling within his eyes.
"Yea, let's go." Rei demanded and rushed over to the team to force them out the nearest exit corridor. "Tyson, now isn't the time to mess around! Get out of here now!"
"Kai!" Tyson yelped as he ran over to his opponent worriedly. He wanted to make sure he was okay.
But the closer the dark haired male stepped, the more danger he put himself in. Tyson forced himself to halt when his figure was inches away from being caught a light by Dranzer's angry flames.
Flames travelled across the dome floor and trapt Kai within a hot box – he was unreachable to any human being.
"Tyson go, I have this under control." Kai explained in an amused tone. "I will catch up with the team another time."
"Under control?!" The champion mocked and pointed to the now evacuated that was crumbling to pieces. "What part of this do you have under control Kai!?"
Tyson began to prepare his beyblade launcher to end this dramatic situation. But just when he aimed the shot to crash into the Dranzer beyblade, the bit-beast fired his hot feather at his hand – burning him dearly.
"AH!" He screamed and naturally dropped his launcher. "That bird just struck me!"
"I SAID GET LOST TYSON!"
Hearing his captain scream at him angrily felt like a knife being stabbed into his throat – Tyson just didn't have a clue as to what was going on, yet he wanted to understand so he could help find a solution and end this nightmare.
Rushing over to his faithful friend to pick up his loaded beyblade launcher, Rei possessively latched his hand onto his deputy captain's shoulder to pull him towards the exit. "You are lucky we care about you Tyson." The Drigger wielder growled in a low tone and pushed him onwards to run for their life.
"I just don't want him to get hurt Rei! I care too much to see him in a hospital bed…"
"Less talking, more running Tyson!"
The flames spread throughout the building, setting off smoke alarms and sprinkles across the hallways. It was if the angry bit-beast was trying to chase someone out of someone's life.
Tyson was being chased out of Kai's life.
Running down the corridors like a headless chicken who didn't fancy being barbequed, the confident Japanese male was falling behind Rei who had disappeared around the corridor corner. His eyes moistened and his stomach wrenched with guilt – he didn't want to leave Kai, he really didn't.
A/N: I think we'd all be jealous if someone we had to ourselves started to spread their wings. I really wanted to make this chapter special, so it took me a while to think of an idea to spice up the drama even more. The next chapter will feature another flash back guys, so don't be too disappointed that I'm not going to give away the result of Tyson and Kai just yet ;). Little A Granger~
P.S – I will edit this chapter at a later date, my eyes are exhausted~
