Author's note: Sorry this has taken a while, I did a one shot when I was going to write the next chapter, then didn't have much time to write this, I normally write a chapter in one go, but this week I kept having to stop and continue it the next day. Hope everyone likes this chapter.

Fireymoonlight: I'm keeping Kai's character secret for the time being, but I think I'm not sure, but he and Tyson seeing each other again should be the next chapter. But there is probably going to be more waiting for the confrontation. Tyson didn't get Dragoon back for very long I'm afraid, but Drigger's back. Tyson is definitely found by friends, but he gets a little help when it comes to healing.

To your second review: I'm so glad you're not going to scream:( I have a headache, lol I got it from writing my poetry essay in English. Tala's going to stay away for a while. He's been yelled at by Kai, though no one finds that out yet. Yay they've created more reviews for me /does the I'm special dance and falls over:p they're shouts kind of were working, I was getting kind of scared /pokes you with a stick several times/ thank you for reviewing.

Sara/takes out ear plugs/ you know Joyce finished with the yelling last; doesn't that mean she wins a yelling prize? My cold went, only to be replaced by a new one. It wasn't all of why Kenny hates Max but most of it. My computer's evil and sometimes doesn't load bottom halves either. More of Kai should be in the next chapter, right now it's a Rei chapter lol Bio volt have their own spies and yes they have caught quite a few. A lot of people mysteriously go missing. How do you know I'm not character death happy/shifty eyes/ you will find out who the fiancée is next chapter, and it isn't a girl close to Tyson, she just has something of her image which is the same as Tyson. The Kai and Tyson confrontation won't be for a while. Please don't take leaves from Joyce's book again, my ears are still hurting. /brings out my mighty flame thrower and furby army/ I have a furby army and I'll use them :p Also I'm not abandoning it, what's wrong with being insane? My invisible friend Fred enjoys it. I'll try and have the next chapter out soon. Thank you for reviewing lots and lots and lots and lots of times, but I will be quicker this time, I hope.

FireieGurl: I'm glad you liked that chapter; I really hope you liked this one and thank you for reviewing.

Kawaii gremlin: Lol I think messed up is an understatement, more like tortured evilly by the author. The eye comment made me laugh, I don't mean to pull the heart strings, and I blame Tala he made me write it! Lol thank you for reviewing.

Joyce/takes ear plugs out/ you can stop now, though I was thinking of being evil and seeing how long your yelling reviews would last, but I'm not that evil /shifty eyes/ or am I? I personally blame my art teacher, lol /gives you a prize for being determined/ Oliver is next to be seen, and a little of Kai and his fiancée. /Hides from your wrath/ erm least the chapter is better late than never/brings out furby army/ they aren't too pleased. Thank you for reviewing lots and lots and lots of times as well, but the next chapter should be quicker. And please, no more yelling.

Darkness flowed everywhere, nothing but endless pit of nothingness. Tyson looked around the deep emptiness in fear. His head was hurting, he was dead; he had to be.

'Tyson.' Whispered a far away voice, a faint blue glow appeared behind him.

'Dragoon?' He stared blurrily at the far away light.

'Yes, we haven't spoken for a while young one.'

'Am I dead?' He asked feeling an odd sense of happiness, that maybe it had finally come to an end.

'No, you are ill; your friends are very worried about you. You are very close to death. Listen I don't have long, soon dark Dranzer's power will consume me, you must listen Tyson, promise you'll remember what I say.' The voice came in a panicked rush.

'I promise, but listen I don't understand.'

'You will eventually. But now you need to master Dranzer, and not give up hope. If that happens then all will be lost.'

'I no, but it's just so hard.'

'I see where Dranzer's heart lies and I no where Kai's heart lies, even though it is clouded and surrounded by darkness, there's always hope.'

Tyson sighed holding his hand to the light, 'I'm not sure if I can carry on.'

'I will heal you a little; this is my gift before we meet again. You will be able to carry on all you need is-'

'Tyson?' A familiar voice echoed across the darkness, suddenly harsh bright light started to sweep into the darkness.

'Remember,' whispered Dragoon.

Tyson's eyes sprung open in shock and they instantly stung in the harsh brightness of the room. He quickly held his arm over them.

'Tyson!'

Max had suddenly sprung on him and given him a harsh hug. Which wasn't good for Tyson, because pain erupted from all over his body, he groaned.

'I'm so sorry.' Said Max in a quick rush, 'I just thought I had lost you, and I was so happy to see you awake.'

'Max I told you, you were not allowed in here! It's his own fault he's ill any way, running off like that. Do you know you could have been killed Tyson!'

Tyson pulled himself further into the covers, as Hillary's angry voice echoed through his head. 'This is my punishment then, having you look after me, you should have left me for dead.'

'You are the most ungrateful person I have ever met!' growled Hillary.

'Well you're the bossiest,' muttered Tyson.

'I heard that, wait till you're better; Kenny will have a few words and jobs for you!'

'Hillary maybe you're being a little too harsh on him.'

'He could have been killed Max! I'm going to recommend Kenny to put him to a job where he has to clean the toilets.'

Tyson groaned and tried to pull himself up, but pain shot through his legs. 'What's wrong with me?'

'You almost died a few days ago Tyson, your temperature was too high, we didn't think you were going to last the night.' Scowled Hillary, 'though it is your own fault.'

'There's something you should know Tyson,' said Max nervously, everyone is leaving to face Bio Volt tomorrow.'

'What!' Tyson glared angrily from the bed and shakily tried to pull himself up, but failed miserably.

'I came here to say goodbye, you're not well enough to face them. I'm kind of glad, because if anything goes wrong we have you. I doubt I'll come back alive,' Max looked away from him, 'Look after Rei. I saw you as a brother Tyson, and if you live through this whole thing make sure that kids learn how to love beyblades and not see them as something of destruction.' He smiled before leaving the room.

'Max!' Tyson angrily slammed him fist onto the cover. 'Hillary you've got to let me go, I need to get out of here. I need to see Kai tomorrow.'

For once her soft brown eyes looked at him in pity, 'You can't Tyson, even if you could, you've had no practice and you're one of the few we've got left. It will take weeks for your injuries to heal.'

'But I have to. I need to know what's going on,'

'I'm not supposed to tell you until you're better.' Hillary nervously chewed her lip.

'I need to know.'

She turned around to check no one was in the room, before talking 'Bio Volt has set the date for tomorrow. Everyone will be their, A big group of beybladers from our organisation are going. There is going to be five beybattles, Boris has set this to prove that Bio Volt are so strong they can take anything. It's supposed to be like a party or a celebration, but it's just a plan to get rid of us. If we don't accept then they promise to come in and kill us all, they know where we are. But this way they get more fun from it. Tyson if we don't accept then we'll just carry on living in fear for the rest of our lives, but Kenny has decided we have to come out and fight.'

'What happens if we lose?' asked Tyson.

'Then we just have to give in. The problem is we have to beat at least two and then beat Kai, they all have bit beasts. If we win then Bio Volt will admit defeat and let all bit beasts and people go. But I don't believe them; they're too big and strong. That's why Kevin's leading an operation to evacuate all buildings and blow them up. We might all get caught, but we're going to leave with a bang. If we lose we hand ourselves into Bio Volt.'

'How did you end up here Hillary?'

A frown spread across her face, 'A boy rescued me, I can't remember him very well, I just remember waking up here. My house was being attacked and I fainted, I remember seeing his face then nothing else.'

'Have you ever seen him again?'

'Tyson I've been here for a long time, I'm not sure how long, but time just goes without you realising it. I've been here for that long and I still haven't met everyone in this organisation, there are spies or just people you don't see. Some of your friends could be here for all I know. But I don't think I will ever truly know everyone.'

'He's probably dead.' Growled Tyson angrily.

'Tyson! That isn't the right thinking.'

'No but its true, isn't it? We're going to lose aren't we? The odds on us winning are impossible, we're just going to all end up dead or slaves of Bio Volt and that's just life for you.' He spat out bitterly.

She looked away from him.

Blue strands of hair fell in front of his face, and slowly tears trailed along his cheek. 'I give up,'

Hillary looked at him nervously. 'Don't Tyson, I'm sorry.'

'Just leave me alone.'

'I-' She sighed nervously, before slowly leaving the room and closing the door quietly as she went.

'It's all useless.' Whispered Tyson, as tears dripped onto the blankets.

'I thought Tyson Granger never gave up!' A harsh voice echoed across his head, and Tyson noticed a faint red glow coming from his pocket.

'Maybe it's time to.' He replied out loud.

'Then you aren't worthy of Kai, if you give up so easily.'

'You don't understand.' He whispered back, 'Kai doesn't want me; all he cares about is power and has ruined several of my friends lives in getting it!'

'For someone who has been through hell, it's amazing how easy he quits.'

'Kai has a fiancée and doesn't care! I'll probably be dead in a few days, killed by Bio Volt! What else do you want me to do?'

'Believe in hope,'

He gently brought Dranzer from his pocket and stared at it for a few second, 'Out of the ashes a phoenix rises.' He whispered to himself, gripping the blade tightly, 'I'm going to win, 'For Max, for Kenny, for everyone.'

Suddenly a red glow started to surround him, a warm glow radiated through him and seeped across his body, before the glow dulled and then vanished. He quickly pulled his covers off and got to his feet shakily. He pulled some clothes from a close by table to replace his mud stained ones, before staring down at a dark blue blade.

'I guess it's just you and me Dranzer.' He pulled two others from his pocket and put them into his new jeans. Before pulling on some shoes and a jumper and quietly leaving the room.

Max Tate sat quietly in a chair, next to the bed of his former team mate Rei. He didn't exactly know why he was here; he just knew that he probably wouldn't see the person laid in the bed sleeping again. All that was heard was the quiet breathing of Rei and the spin of a green beyblade which was missing Draciel. He didn't noticed the door quietly slide open and reveal a blue haired figure; that quietly stood next to him.

'I'm coming too Max.'

The blond boy was suddenly shook from his thoughts and stared at the boy in shock. 'You're suppose to be resting, you almost died.'

'Dranzer healed me.'

Max chewed his lip, 'Are you sure you should be so close to that bitbeast?'

Tyson looked to the floor, 'I trust Dranzer with my life and I'm going to fight tomorrow whether anyone likes it or not.'

'Please Tyson don't fight.' He asked in a chocked voice.

'Why not Max, if we lose then we together.'

'I can't see any more of my friends die! I won't be able to take it!' His angry yell had suddenly woken Rei up, who was now staring at the ceiling muttering to himself. Max's voice became quieter, 'I was the one that found you in that cave! I saved your life Tyson, I thought you were dead, have you any idea how that feels? You finally get someone you care about back, only to find they had been ripped away from you again!' Silent tears slid down his face.

'I almost had Dragoon back,' said Tyson quietly, 'But black Dranzer took him away, and I know it isn't the same, but I no how that feels.'

'The promise me you'll stay here!'

'I can't do that, you're my friend and I'm going to be with you every step of the way,' they both looked at each other, flames burning from their determined eyes.

'Fine,' muttered Max, sounding defeated.

'I have something to show you,' smiled Tyson, he slowly brought out a white blade and showed it him.

'That's Drigger,' Max chocked out.

Neither noticed gold eyes look up at the name Drigger.

'I know Tala gave me it, before he evilly tried to kill me that is.' Tyson smirked. 'Do you think it will help?'

A hopeful look spread across Max's face, 'Maybe.'

'Let's try it,' Tyson brought out a shooter from his pocket and launched the blade onto the floor. 'Rei look its Drigger.'

The boy on the bed eye's slightly glanced at the moving object, before glancing back to the ceiling and carrying on counting tiles.

'Please Rei,' whispered Max, Gold eyes didn't even leave the ceiling.

'I think you risked your life for nothing.' Growled Max slamming his fist into a near by table.

'We could still use Drigger,'

'No,' muttered Max angrily, 'it belongs with Rei; we need to go to see Kenny. Will you give me a few seconds Tyson, I want to say goodbye.'

'Okay, I'm sorry.'

'It doesn't matter.'

Tyson slowly nodded before leaving through the door.

Max stared in a lost way at Rei for a few seconds. 'I'm leaving,' he whispered, 'I doubt you'll even notice.'

Rei didn't even move.

'I can't believe this, Tyson risked his life getting Drigger, and it doesn't help, nothing ever does!'

Silence was all that greeted him.

'I hoped you'd be Rei again, just for a few seconds, long enough for me to see the light in your eyes, before I died. But it's impossible,' He looked down at the spinning blade on the floor, 'We got you Drigger back, what more can I do?' asked Max angrily. 'I thought maybe you would be okay, but I was wrong to have any hope,' he watched the blade start to slow down. 'I need you Rei, I loved you; I still do now. But everyone seems to leave in my life and loving you wasn't enough, I just hope after I'm gone Drigger protects you. I love you, I hope one day, you'll find someone who can help you, who makes you happy. Goodbye.' Max quietly leaned over Rei and brushed his lips lightly over his, before quickly leaving through the door like a bolt of lightning had hit him.

If he'd stayed for any longer he would have noticed dull unfocused gold eyes, slowly starting to follow the almost stopped blade's path, and before long the blade started to speed up glowing brightly green before shooting through the air, a hand quickly reached out to catch it and a smirk spread across his lips. Before bright gold eyes, looked around the room one last time before leaving.
