Wow, I haven't updated this in a long while. I left it in a state of fanfic limbo *checks last update* 2012!?

On another note: In canon, Gou can summon Dranzer in the manga during his first fight with Makoto. Mine is an entirely different story. FanFic! woohoo!

Enjoy Reading


Every father cherishes the moment their children did something that will make them proud and Kai is this in regards to his children, most particularly his eldest son, Gou. In every training he impose towards his son, no matter how insane it was but not a traumatic one like he had as a child in Russia, was for Gou to surpass him. Only problem was his son was lacking something. There was a reason why Dranzer won't come out whenever Gou summons the sacred beast. If Gou can't figure it out himself, then there's a chance Makoto might beat him.

They were now facing each other in the semi-finals.

Which is why Kai is driving insanely fast towards the stadium with his wife yelling to 'SLOW DOWN' and 'WATCH THE ROAD.'

Earlier...

It was oddly quiet and peaceful.

Too peaceful... surely something might be wrong.

"Hils, there hasn't been a call from the children"

"Oh they'll be fine. Tyson is with them right?"

That's right, Tyson is with his children. The only person in their circle of friends who constantly get himself in trouble and it's usually up to Kai to get him out, with or without getting minor or major injuries like that time at his bachelors' party and the beyblade reunion. At first he objected the idea of Tyson doing babysitting but a strong persuasion from Hilary made him change his mind.

Their car stopped at Hilary's parents' house because Kai has a nagging feeling about the lie detector machine Hilary's dad just bought and wonders what Tyson has told the old man, 'It better not be something embarrassing' he thought. Hilary didn't know about this and Kai tells a white lie that he feels they need to check up on the kids. Kai rang the doorbell a few times but no one answered. Curiously they try to open the door, to their surprise it was open, and the house was quiet.

There was a low groan coming from the study room, where Hilary's father usually locks himself and plotting ways to make his son-in law miserable. Both couple rushes inside and found Hilary's father sprawled on the floor. "Oh my goodness! Dad what happened?!"

Kai on the other hand was more concerned about what the hell did the old man do to Tyson since there was a rope that was freshly cut and hanging on the chair right next to the lie detector machine. Kai narrows his eyes on his father in-law and says in deadpan "What have you been doing old man?" His wife chose to ignore this since the two would act like quarreling children and would often resort to picking petty fights. Nonetheless, at least they have a better relationship compared to Kai's teen years.

"I think he's coming to" Hilary said when her father regained consciousness.

The elder Tachibana opened his eyes and wondered why he's on the floor, "W-what happened?"

Truth is, Kai was to blame for this. Kai snickered at the memory when the old man decided to call them in the middle of their sex and made Hilary moan louder enough to let him hear just to spite him. Kai faked a cough when Hilary turn to look at him suspiciously.

He then made an analysis that was believable "Maybe this machine's faulty wiring malfunctioned and he got electrocuted"

Hilary agrees with him, "it's possible. Dad does have a bad history with electronics"

"Hn."

The old man sat up and rubs his aching head, "Oh man, I had a terrible dream. Urghh... I don't know what happened." Kai was very glad to hear this, a bump from the head may have caused him to forget the part where he found out the couple where having sex and Kai, almost, but not deliberately gave him a heart attack.

"Dad, why is the house empty? where's mom and the kids?" Hilary asks.

"Mmm... somethin' about an event.. I don't know, I wasn't listening much"

Kai sense a need to call and check-up on how his children are doing, he figures he'd call Tyson first "I better call Tyson and see what they are doing." He picks up his phone and calls Tyson.

Tyson picks up after the third ring "Sup Kai?"

"What are you and the kids are up to?"

"Were at the tournament" Tyson chirped happily, unaware on how his bestfriend would react because if it was a beyblade tournament and their two children happens to be involve in it. Kai is not a happy person if he was the last to know. Kai grips his phone tightly and asks again if he heard him right.

"Tournament? What tournament?"

"There's a beyblade tournament going on here in Tokyo Dome. It's a celebrity match, the winner gets the chance to face this veteran. My son and Gou are up next to battle each other. This is so exciting!"

He could hear his daughter yelling a greeting in the background "Hi Daddy!"

Tyson continues, "Mikoto says hi! Man I'm so excited. I bet my son will beat yours" Tyson teased and later boast "their last battle was a draw but now I bet Makoto will win for sure!"

"..."

"Kai? You still there?... Hello?..."

There's a battle going on and he's not there to give support and help his son lead to victory? No way in hell he's missing out in his sons' important event! Especially since he doesn't want Gou to lose to the idiot's son, Makoto.

Old Rivalries never die.

"I'm going over there RIGHT NOW!" then Kai steps on the gas and the car picks up speed, this sudden action made Hilary scream in the passenger seat.

-Present day-

Gou stared intently at Dranzer. Wondering why Dranzer won't come out whenever he tries summoning the phoenix. He didn't get it, he trains hard, has an undefeated record except save for that draw with Makoto. Was there something else he's lacking? He once asked his father about this. After all, Dranzer has been a loyal good companion with Kai so maybe his father will explain to him on how to improve his relationship with his bitbeast. But instead, his father gave him a cryptic message about 'Doing his best and prove himself' and something about spirit of the game... whatever the heck that means...

His little sister informs him of his upcoming battle, "Big brother, you're up next."

"Hn."

"You're acting like dad now" Mikoto giggles on how Gou and their father are really alike.

Gou stood up from his seat, looking determined to beat Makoto with or without Dranzer. His resolve made him forget the fact that the reason he was here in the first place was to impress Rin who might be watching the match in television. Today was the matter of pride. Though a bit disappointed his father wasn't here and Kai was out celebrating his wedding anniversary with Hilary, and Gou felt it would be rude and selfish of him to bother his parents. He can't really blame his father, this just happens to be a random event that Makoto egged on him. If there was an event that his father knew he participated, Kai would be there in a heartbeat.

Right now, standing in front of him was the new wielder of Dragoon, Makoto. He didn't really get to how lucky this kid is to summon the dragon so easily. What is his secret?

"Awwww Yeah! This is the moment I've been waiting for!" Makoto jumps up and down like a hyperactive child in a candy store, even his father joined in. "This will be an awesome battle. Go get him son!"

Seriously, how on earth is he the wielder of Dragoon? and what's his damn secret?

Kai did mentioned to his son that looks can be deceiving, so he should never underestimate an opponent, even the one who's last name is Granger. Idiocy may ran in the family, but they are undoubtedly strong. His father was right, as childish as he may be, Makoto can be cunning and serious if he wants to be "I'm finally having an official rematch with you. There's a new move I invented that will blow away your Dranzer off the Dish."

'A new technique huh?' Strategically, he'll switch to counter attacks instead to go all offensive. Not the type of person to lose confidence, Gou challenge him on "Well see about that."

The referee gives the signal to start their battle.

Three

Two

One

"Let it rip!"

They launched their beyblades and a huge clash came upon impact, followed by two metals grinding each other. Makoto was mentally all about 'ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!' while Gou was still in his counter attack tactic. It was doing him good in avoiding one of Makoto's strong attacks and he can counter with an even stronger one. Gou anticipates for an opening to use his special technique if Makoto made a reckless move.

However, Makoto was thinking the same thing. He hasn't yet call out for Dragoon, thinking it wouldn't be fair. He had another move in mind, and it was to taunt his opponent and lose their focus. Makoto was bound to attempt to push Gou's buttons and trigger his most aggressive side. Just like he did when they battled at the dojo and caused much damage to the house much to his father's dismay.

"You suck Gou! You can never be as good as your dad!"

It's true, his father is legendary. Right next to Tyson of course.

"I bet he's disappointed at you"

That stung Gou a little.

"Rin likes me better!"

That's when Gou finally snaps 'Makoto, you little shit...'

The older boy initiates his special move. What Makoto didn't know was that Gou had been observing his movements, Makoto was still in an offensive attack, obviously trying to weaken Dranzer. With a sly smirk, Dranzer flew up above before Dragoon could make contact. It was so fast, Makoto looks up to find where Dranzer went but the spotlights from the arena blinded him, making it impossible to spot Gou's beyblade.

While blinded by the lights, he did not notice a shadowy flash coming down in lightning speed. Taking initiative knowing Gou's beyblade will be like a dart hitting a bulls-eye, Makoto quickly went into defense.

SLAM!

Too late. He was a little too late.

Dranzer's attack made a huge crater in the middle of the dish, which sends the Dragoon wielder's beyblade flying off. Makoto's heart nearly stops when Dragoon was about to hit outside of the arena. Dragoon hit the edge of the dish and managed to bounce back in, a bit unbalanced and wobbly, Makoto was relieved.

Gou wasn't done yet. While his opponent is still vulnerable, he begins attacking Dragoon with sheer ferocity. This leads Makoto no choice but to call on Dragoon to take advantage of this situation 'Sorry Gou but you leave me no choice.'

"Dragoon!"

At the call of his name. Dragoon emerges from his bit chip with a mighty roar.

Gou mentally curse at his bad luck.

(A/N): I'm really serious about finishing all my fanfics. I also felt bad for not updating this sooner. Sorry no sweet Kaihil this time, you had your fun in previous chapters with their sexy time misadventures (Don't worry, I'll spoil you with "No sex for a month"). Next chapter will be the last.

Leave a Review if you feel like it *wink*
