Hiya!
Yay, people are still reading this! Either that or you're on the wrong web page. Hopefully, you're reading, though, that's what I'd hope for.
So hopefully I'll be able to update faster since its summer but be warned, I have one of those families who likes to take random daytrips as often as possible during the summer… . Hard as I try, I may or may not get a lot done, I AM TRYING HARD!
Kai: You're not trying hard enough, obviously! Work harder.
……Fine…guess I have been wasting a lot of my summer in front of the idiot box watching the Simpsons. Heh. Oh and I read the 6th Harry Potter book…in two and a half days, not bad for a 13 year old, huh? (Of course now my eyes hurt due to staying up all night reading…stupid eyes…or maybe it's the book's fault. I dunno.)
Here we go again…Disclaimer: Clearly I do not own Beyblade. If I did, I'd force them to make another season. Or two. Or three...no, four. Yeah, four more seasons. But I don't own it yet, so we'll all have to wait until I do someday own Beyblade. Unlikely, but don't we all have the right to dream?
Oh, andignore any stupid typos; like pretty much every other one, most of this chapter was written at 1:00 a.m the day before I posted it and the next morning.My bad.
"…Thermolysis…"
That was all they heard him say. Kai then started speaking inaudibly but what I was saying was clearly complicated…
The ground trembled violently, as it did before. Not just the area in ruins; this time, the entire island of Hawaii felt the shockwave. A blinding light blasted from the fissure and lit up the sky, so much that it appeared to be daylight for a few seconds before it disappeared.
If the tremor hadn't awoken everyone, the brilliant light did…
(Okay if this next part sounds confusing, it's other peoples POVs of when the tremors and light happened)
Rick bolted from his seat in the hotel room and pressed his face against the window.
"Whoa! Judy, everyone, you've gotta see this! The whole sky just lit up…an eclipse or something!"
"Actually, an eclipse is the opposite, Rick" corrected Emily, "An eclipse is when the moon blocks the sun's rays and everything on our planet goes dark for a minute or so…"
"Whatever! I don't care what it is, but I've never seen it happen before!"
Judy joined Rick in front of the window, too bewildered to bother correcting Rick and Emily's statements. "I haven't seen anything like this either, or heard anything about it…or why on earth it would happen. There isn't any kind of abnormality with our rotation around the sun this week, Emily?"
"Not that I've heard" she replied. "Don't think that would cause something like this anyways."
"Hey, are you guys still playing or what?" Michael called impatiently from the other side of the room. "If you don't come back here right now, Eddy and I are going to look at your cards!"
The earthquake jolted Hilary awake instantly. She was in a cold, dark room. She squinted, but couldn't distinguish anything in the blackness. Tiredly, Hilary tried to remember where she was exactly…and why she was there…
Suddenly, a beam of light entered the room through the window. For a brief moment she could see her surroundings. It was some sort of office; there was an oak desk in front of her, and shelves crammed full of files. The desk was a complete mess, covered in papers and a framed picture of eight kids. Reminded her of Tyson's disastrous desk. And in the opposite corner of the room sat a shorter boy with two green mohawks, and a pair of goggles on his forehead. His hands were binded together by a rope. It was then that Hilary noticed she too had her hands tied.
But the flash of light disappeared quickly and the room was shrouded in darkness again.
"What…was that?" asked the boy.
"I don't know, lightning maybe" she answered sensibly.
"I meant those tremors. An earthquake? Followed immediately by lightning? That sure is strange. Not impossible, but weird. I think maybe this could be have something to do with the 'mission' they were all talking about…"
None of this made sense to Hilary. "Hey, guy…where are we exactly? Why are we all tied up?"
"Well…you've only been here a couple of days and I'm not sure why exactly, in your case. As for me, I heard something about using me as a warning to everyone else. I'm Cameron, by the way, but call me Cam."
"You're Cameron?" Hilary exclaimed. "The missing kid, Cameron? Everyone awoke one day to find a huge gash on your room door, and you nowhere to be found! It really freaked us out! …Are any of the other missing people here as well?"
"…There are others missing besides us?"
"Yeah, a whole bunch…Lee of White Tiger X, Kane of the Eon Bladers, everyone from the Barthez Battalion, even the announcer Brad Best. They're gone, all of them, nowhere to be found."
Cam took a deep sigh. "This situation is starting to sound hopeless…"
"So it seems…I'm Hilary, by the way"
"Right, Hilary. I've seen you hanging around with Tyson and the other Bladebreakers before."
Hilary muttered something under her breath, staring into space.
"What's the matter, miss him already?"
"W-what? …No way!" Hilary was thankful for the darkness now, because she was blushing. "I was just thinking about how much of a jerk he can be sometimes! You know, it's all his fault that I'm here. I had to accompany him on a walk, just to make sure he didn't get into any trouble, like a stupid little kid…then he ditched me! If he'd just been a bit less selfish…"
"If that's the case, then he probably feels bad, now that you're gone and its all his fault." explained Cameron.
"Doubt it."
"No, really. Think about it; wouldn't you feel guilty if you were in his position?"
"If I were in his position? Tyson doesn't think the same as us. Actually, he's probably even missing a few vitally important brain cells…that's how he acts most of the time, at least. Tyson seldom listens to me, his team mates or even his older brother. And he bugs me all the time…" Hilary sighed. "Probably even took him a while to notice that I was gone…"
"You say he bugs you often?" Cam asked, smirking.
"Yes."
"Then he probably cares about you more than you give him credit for. He's probably quite fond of you. "
"…What? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!"
"No, its what we do." Cam said as-a-matter-of-factly.
"Annoy the heck out of people you like? No, you're wrong. That's such a dumb thing to say."
"I'm serious. I'll bet you that Tyson's probably looking for you right now and is gonna bust us out of here any time soon" he said hopefully, "I'll bet you."
"…Whatever." Hilary rolled her eyes and ignored him for a while longer before drifting back to sleep.
Mr. Dickinson and two of his executives stood before the tall, glass window in his office at the BBA Tower II. Their meeting had been briefly interrupted by the earthquake, but it didn't cause them much worry, and they resumed their conversation almost immediately afterwards. After all, quakes were normal in this part of the world.
It was the luminous beam of light that caught their attention.
The sky, which tonight was dark and grey, suddenly brightened completely without warning.
The executives arose from their seats right away to have a look outside. The chairman of the BBA was about to follow them, when something dawned on him. These two events that had just occurred in succession seemed terribly familiar.
"What is that?" the older of the two men asked, baffled. He pointed to some kind of figure, off in the distance, rising in the beam of light.
"Mr. Dickinson, come here and take a look at this!" the second younger executive said in awe. "This is something else, man! What the heck's happening? This is…weird! Why'd I have to leave my camera at home today of all days…"
Mr. D got to his feet with the help of a walking cane, pushed his chair in and slowly walked to the window. "That…I've seen it before…somewhere. But I can't recall exactly where."
The light began to fade away and the figure was becoming clearer. It was a creature of some sort…long, snake-like body, sharp claws, a row of silver spikes down its back. A dragon. It couldn't be anything else. That meant that it had to be a bit-beast, some kind of sacred spirit.
At first Mr. Dickinson assumed that it was Dragoon. But as the ray of light dissipated and it became more and more visible, he could see that this was very different from Tyson's bit-beast. Most of its body was concealed in white flames, unlike Dragoon. And unlike Dragoon, it filled his heart with dread. Just staring upon it brought painful memories back.
He had seen it somewhere before, there was no doubt in his mind about it. But Mr. D didn't want to believe it. It couldn't be…the same as before…no, it just really be back. It disappeared. Thermolysis disappeared after it destroyed the original Tower.
But there it was, right before his eyes, in all its glory.
Tyson, Kai, Daichi and Garrett (who was currently cowering on the ground now that his tough-guy façade had worn off ) stared up in amazement at the resurrected Bit-Beast, and it glared back at them with contempt with its red-crimson eyes. Garrett couldn't stand to even look at those eyes. Their depth and intensity reminded him off his coach. And Pharoas was the last thing he wanted on his mind right now, considering he'd failed his orders miserably which would likely grant him some major punishment.
The four bladers waited anxiously for the renegade Bit-Beast to make its move. But it didn't; something was still holding it back. Instead, Thermolysis directed his gaze to Kai. "One last step. Take the Fusion Blade. Launch it. Now."
"…You're already out, why do you need me to do that?" Kai asked arrogantly. "Can't you do anything for yourself?"
"Don't do it, Kai!" called Tyson. "The Fusion Blade's some kind of supernatural, ancient Beyblade! If you try to use it, it'll exhaust your strength to the point where you'll be hurt!"
"No, it won't".
Garrett finally spoke up. "There's a missing piece here. A silver armband, the relic that goes with the Fusion Blade. Without that, Kai will have no real connection to the blade and it can't drain his power."
"That's a relief…"
"That also means that Kai can't control it, idiot, Thermolysis can do whatever it wants! That's not a good thing!"
"Do it, Kai. Do it now. Launch the Beyblade, and I can take care of things myself from there."
Kai glanced over his shoulder. His own blade Dranzer was still spinning. Perfect. Ready for an assault the second the Fusion Blade hit the ground.
"Whatever" he muttered, put the ancient blade into his own launcher and inserted the ripcord. "You're going to regret the day you decided to try and take advantage of Kai."
There was a crowd of people, Beybladers, tourists and fans, standing just outside the biggest hotel in the city, watching the Bit-Beast far off. Nobody knew what was going on.
Ray searched through the crowd for any sign of Hiro or Max. It took a lot of pushing and shoving people before he found his blond-headed friend.
"Max," he began, short of breath, "What's going on here?"
"That." Max pointed to the fiery creature in the distance.
"Darn it, maybe we're too late…"
"Too late about what?" Max asked with concern.
"I overheard something not that long ago, and there's a lot more going on than meets the eye. Kai stole the Fusion Blade for some reason, and made off with it. Tyson and Daichi went after him, along with some other kid with silvery coloured hair who I'd never seen before…"
Another person stormed into their conversation unexpectedly. He was around the same hight as Hiro. Unlike most people you'd expect to meet at a Beyblading tournament, he seemed very clean-cut, with short orange hair, and was wearing a formal-looking suit jacket. Next to him was a much 'lower class' person, around the same height as Ray, with very long wavy blond hair and bright blue eyes. He stood around casually with a skateboard tucked under one arm. Ray recalled him as the one Kai referred to as a show-off; boarding up and down the street the first night they were there.
"What did the silver-haired kid look like!" the rich-looking guy demanded.
"…Well thanks for butting into a private conversation!" Ray said sarcastically, taken aback.
"I'm sorry, just give me a general description of the kid you saw, please."
Ray rolled his eyes. "Fine, I'll tell you. He was kind of short, he wore a long-sleeved jacket with a hood and baggy pants. Oh, and he had on these paded gloves for some reason…they really kinda stood out…"
"Damn it, its him" the guy snapped his fingers angrily. "Its Garrett. I knew from the start that he was up to something, and this proves it! Pharoas said that I was being too suspicious…Blaise said that I was being paranoid…but I was right, all along."
Max and Ray looked at each other confusedly and shrugged their shoulders.
The guy turned to Ray. "You saw where they were headed, right? Could you show me there? I need to investigate what's going on."
"Me too" added Max. "Tyson and the others might be in trouble. We've gotta go find them!"
"We're coming as well!" two others added simultaneously. It was Emily and Rick of the All Starz. "I'm dying to get some data on that Bit-Beast" said Emily, who had a laptop tucked under her arm. "And we're both curious to find out more about what's going on."
"Count me in too." This time, it was Tala and the Blitzkreig Boys who interrupted.
"How many people have been evesdropping on this conversation?" Ray groaned, but was ignored.
"A couple of days ago, someone who sounds a lot like that Garrett kid attacked me", explained Tala. "There's been a lot of creepy things happening lately and I want answers!"
"Then I'm coming too!" the younger, brunette member of the team said excitedly. Everyone was surprised when Wyatt spoke up; the little guy who was normally shy, and so far hadn't participated at all in the tournament, was raring to go all of a sudden.
But Tala objected immediately. "Oh no you're not, Wyatt! This stuff's too important for a wimp like you. Besides, isn't it past your bed time?"
"Come on, just let the kid go", said Brian. "What's the worst that could-"
"…Why are you siding with him?" Tala asked, the frustration in his voice rising intensly.
People standing nearby quickly found a new place in the crowd away from Tala and his unsupportive team mates. It would be a terrible fate to end up in the middle of one of their arguments…
"If Junior really wants to go, then let him", added Spencer. "I don't see why you bear such a stupid grudge against him anyways. He hasn't done anything to you."
"It's not often that you see the Blitzkreig Boys fighting amongst themselves like this…" Ray whispered to Max.
"I know", replied Max in an equally hushed tone, "Brian and Spencer are probably being critical against Tala because he lost to Kane and Salima. I mean, nothing against them, but even I didn't think they were nearly as tough as Tala. Must've been quite the blow to his ego."
"That'd explain why he's lashing out a lot lately…" Ray concluded.
Their conversation only got more heated.
"I think that it's because of Kai that Tala resents Wyatt" Brian said suspiciously, as if purposely trying to get his leader even more riled up. "He practically worships Kai, ever since they met in school. Tala must be jealous…"
Before Tala could fight back, Ray purposely interrupted. "Look, you guys, we're leaving now. We haven't got any more time to waste, so are you coming or aren't you?"
Seeing as he wasn't likely to be victorious in this argument, Tala just sighed, crossed his arms against his chest and muttered "Whatever."
"Good, then let's be on our way" said the suited redhead. "And just so you know, my name's Pedro. My companion's called Blaise. We're both Beybladers like you all."
"Pleasure to meet everyone…" Blaise said in a goofy voice. "Really, The Man doesn't like us socializing, so I don't get to meet other people like us often."
Everyone was tiring of Blaise's intentional strangeness already, and he'd only even spoken two phrases. The ruins were a fairly long ways away; and clearly, with this guy in tow, it would seem even longer.
Kai counted backwards from three in his head and launched the Fusion Blade as he was instructed.
"Kai, no!" Tyson repeated, but it was too late.
The blade landed, causing the ground to shake for a second. It emitted and eerie golden glow again. Thermolysis glowed the same colour then roared fiercely into the night sky, and fixed it eyes on an obvious target in the distance. Garrett, Kai and Tyson had no doubts to what that target was.
"…The Tower." said Kai, glaring at the Bit-Beast.
"The Tower!" Daichi asked franticly, "What's it want with the Tower? What?"
It seemed exactly as before. Thermolysis, and the Tower. This was exactly what Mr. Dickinson had warned them about, and the reason why the Bladebreakers had reunited in the first place; to prevent this from happening. And yet it was happening; this was history repeating itself, right before his eyes.
"The Tower?" Thermolysis said, as if someone had asked a stupid question. "Haven't I already destroyed it? Aren't the ruins in which you stand the ruins of the BBA Tower? They went right ahead and built another one, didn't they?"
"Then…why are you looking over at the city like that?" asked Tyson, answering his own question. "If it's not the Tower you're after then………no………"
"Taking care of the Tower didn't seem to teach them a lesson. This time…I've got my eyes on the entire city!"
It was now or never for Kai to make his move.
"Dranzer, ATTACK!"
Kai's blade, still going strong from his and Tyson's match, drove into the Fusion Blade and knocked it back. It landed inches away from the fissure. Thermolysis took its gaze off the Tower and glared down below. Kai's move was completely unexpected, and he wasn't to impressed about it.
"You…you want me to destroy you four first! With pleasure, Kai!"
"Try me." Kai said determinedly.
Dranzer continued its assault, relentlessly thrashing the Fusion Blade with all its might. Somehow, the opposing blade managed to keep its balance on the edge of the crevice. Obviously, it had high stats in endurance…
"Kai, keep it up!" Tyson called. "Don't let him makes his move!"
"Get 'em, Kai!" Daichi added.
Garrett had no comment. Did it really matter who won this match? Not to him, it didn't; either way, he was in deep trouble.
"Fire Arrow!" ordered Kai.
The blade pulled back for a second, and Dranzer emerged once more. Its eyes showed the same pure determination as its master's. The phoenix's body erupted into red flames, and it dove at the enemy Bit-Beast.
"Alright! Fighting fire with fire!" Tyson cheered.
"Tyson, that's one of the most clichéd lines I've ever heard." said Daichi.
But Dranzer's attack had almost no effect. A wall of flames appeared before Thermolysis and deflected the attack, like a shield.
"How can it do that!" exclaimed Daichi. "That's cheap! No fair…big fiery jerk!"
"Shut up, Daichi, can't you see that this is hard enough without your yelling?" Kai said angrily.
"That's it; I've been told to butt out enough times tonight, I'm getting in on the action!"
With that, Daichi launched his own Strata Dragoon blade. Like Kai, he started attacking right away.
"You guys want to see something cool?", Daichi asked, "Check this move out! Gaia Storm!"
The gold dragon rose from its blade, scanned its surroundings and then drove underground as it typically would for an attack; but for the first time they'd seen, it re-emerged spinning rapidly, creating a strong gust of wind around itself which quickly turned into a twister.
"Alright, its actually working!" cheered Daichi.
"What do you mean by that?" Tyson asked suspiciously. "This had better not be the first time you've ever used the move…"
"…So what if it is?"
"That's not safe at all! Didn't you see what happened when Patrick tried that? He practically flooded the entire stadium and things could've been much worse."
"Well, no, I didn't see that. And who cares anyways? It's working isn't it! Get 'em, Strata Dragoon!"
Strata charged at Thermolysis. For a second time, the wall of flames appeared to protect deflect the oncoming attack.
"Attack from behind, Dranzer!" Kai ordered suddenly.
Kai and Daichi's Beyblades and their Bit-Beasts attacked Thermolysis and the Fusion Blade from either side. It was a smart move, and almost connected…almost. To everyone's dismay (minus Garrett who didn't seem to care), Dranzer's Fire Arrow was blocked at the last possible second. Thermolysis summoned up fire to encircle its body completely, and both Fire Arrow and Gaia Storm were blocked.
Apparently endurance wasn't this blade's only strong attribute…it also had a defence that would impress Max.
"That didn't work either!" said Kai in frustration. "Damn it, I was sure that would be its weak point!"
"I don't think this thing has a weak point…" Daichi said in shock.
"The small one is correct" The Bit-Beast answered confidently.
Instead of Daichi's usual reply, which would be something like "Who are you calling short!", he just sighed hopelessly. Even he, who normally had an endless amount energy, was tiring of this.
Tyson couldn't stand being an onlooker of this very important match…if only his Dragoon blade hadn't been damaged, courtesy of Kai…
"My turn to attack."
The Fusion Blade quickly escaped Dranzer and Strata Dragoon's attack ranges while their guard was down, turned sharply and returned for an attack. It knocked Strata back, causing it to collide into a rock. He recovered, though, and unsteadily spun back into the battle. Again, Thermolysis went after him. The blades were locked in combat.
"Since nobody seems to be talking here, I think it's time to establish everyone's nicknames!" the skateboarding, blond-headed Blaise announced.
"Now's not the time to be making up stupid names!" objected Pedro.
"Aww, don't spoil my fun. Let's see…"
"Whoa, watch it!" Tala had to quickly dart sideways, or else Blaise would have collided into him.
"Sorry, 'bout that, I was deep in thought."
"Why don't you pay some attention where you're going instead?" Tala snapped back. "What an idiot…I can't stand people like him." he thought angrily, and accidentally said it out loud.
"That's cold, Blitzkrieg-guy…" Blaise said in a mock-sad tone. "You're really cold...Freezer. And as for the other Blitzkrieg Boy, I heard the other guy call you Junior, so that who you'll be."
Pedro rolled his eyes and let out a sigh. "That's just sad…"
"Max…you can be Goldy, because of your hair colour; Emily is the Professor because those she's so very intelligent, Rick…"
"I don't want a stupid nickname!" Rick cut in before he could answer. "Just Rick is fine!"
"…Ricky" Blaise replied, smirking evilly. Rick fought to hold back an urge to pound the guy for even daring to call him that. Instead, he kept his mind on the task ahead and continued the pursuit with everyone else, much to Blaise's luck, because Rick was not one you'd want to get into a fistfight with. (a/n: come to think of it, getting into a fistfight with most Beybladers would be a bad idea…) "As for Ray…he can be Neko. No, Koneko…wait, that's fruity. Maybe just Neko. Either that, or…"
"Blaise, shut up!" Pedro, Tala and Rick all yelled simultaneously.
Blaise was about to come back with his own smart remark, but quickly reconsidered after seeing the deadly glint in their eyes, mainly Tala.
"Whatever…let's hurry up and get to wherever we're going!"
Daichi was losing fast. Kai tried to direct the opponent's attention away so that his blade could recover, but Thermolysis had its eyes on Strata at the moment and couldn't be distracted.
"Again, Gaia Storm!" Daichi yelled tiredly.
"Save you breath; it won't work" Kai said coldly.
With one final blow, the Strata Dragoon blade was thrown high into the air, landing on the other side of the fissure completely still. Endurance, defence and even a wicked attack…did the Fusion Blade have any faults at all?
"No way, Strata…" Daichi groaned. "I lost, even after all that training…"
"Good effort, pal" Tyson said supportively, then turned his attention to the battle still being waged between Thermolysis and Dranzer.
It was beginning to look not so good for Kai, either. While he and Dranzer grew tired, Thermolysis did not, and the Beyblade was spinning nearly as fast as it was when the match began. Kai's initial surprise attack dealt the most damage. Since then, they'd barely done anything.
But he couldn't lose…not this…he couldn't afford to lose with such high stakes…
The previous time, Thermolysis and Pharoas triumphed. Jed lost. The Thrashers lost. The BBA lost.
"Not this time", Kai told himself, "This time, we win."
"Tyson! Daichi! Kai!"
The three bladers look over to the source of these calls, and there stood six familiar people and two strangers. They quickly realised what was going on; Kai fighting a blade which seemed to be independent.
Immediately, they all joined in.
"Three, two one, LET IT RIP!" everyone called simultaneously.
Eight new Beyblades hit the ground and advanced on the Fusion Blade. The glint in Thermolysis' eyes suddenly didn't show the reassurance they did before, but something else. Not quite fear…apprehensiveness. No, he wouldn't dare show any kind of fear. An ancient Bit-Beast, afraid of nine simple bladers? No way.
"Alright!" cheered Tyson. "Max, Ray, you guys are lifesavers! If you'd arrived a minute later, things could've turned really bad…thanks a whole lot!"
"Don't thank us yet" said Ray. "Wait until this is over to thank us. For now, let's take care of…this…Bit-Beast?"
"Guys…do you remember when Mr. Dickinson told us about that creature that helped Pharoas tear down the BBA Tower I?" Tyson asked.
"Yeah, I remember…Thermolysis was its name."
"This is it. This is the Thermolysis we've heard all about."
"…You have got to be kidding…"
"I really didn't expect it to get this bad…poor judgement on my part."
"…What are we going to do now?"
"Not we, you. You're going to march over there and tell Thermolysis to stop. Then you'll take the Fusion Blade and leave. It's as easy as that."
"Me? Why can't you do it? I really don't think it'll listen to me. It didn't respond to Garrett at all."
"I didn't expect it to; Garrett is weak. Not a bad Beyblader, but he isn't near mentally prepared for something like this. Trust me, you'll be fine. Bit-Beasts can recognize greatness. Why do you think Thermolysis sought Kai's help? Because it knew that Kai had the will to release it. It's as simple as that."
The battle raged on, but it was the Beybladers who had the upper hand now. Thermolysis strained to defend itself against attacks coming from every angle. The Bladers took turns hollering commands to their precious blades.
She could recognize Tyson and Kai, and the younger redhead who'd been spying on the match before. And Garrett…why was he on the ground? Why wasn't he doing anything about this? How was she even supposed to get near Thermolysis with all the action going on?
"Ignore them" her coach said, like he'd been reading her thoughts. "Just walk over there, slowly and silently, do what I told you before…"
"I……", she stuttered, "I really don't think I should…I mean, I don't want to do this anymore. No way."
He sighed. "You're making this harder than it has to be…come on."
"I can't control it. I don't have the other relic. The silver armband's missing."
"…Do you have any idea who might have it, then?"
She knew very well who had it. Tyson Granger. He didn't have it at the moment, but it was in his possession.
"I have no idea where in the world it could be."
The coach smiled wickedly. "You're an excellent liar. But I'm hard to fool, even for you. You know where it is…but that isn't important right now. Go forth and do what you're told."
She hesitated yet again. "N-No…it isn't right…"
"…Please, not this again…we've had this conversation before, Raine. Are you loyal to me, or not? Perhaps you'd rather skip over there and join forces with Tyson…is that what you'd like? Leave this team behind forever, and abandon the poor people at the island whose current safety depends on your loyalty?"
Raine turned around, facing him for the first time this conversation, and gave him a dark look. "…Blackmail."
"Call it what you want. You betrayed me first, Raine. I'm not stupid. Make your decision; are you with us, or aren't you?"
She had nothing else to say to him. In her head, she'd made her decision.
"I never thought I'd betray him, but things have turned out differently then I anticipated…those darn winds of fortune refuse to blow my way. This is how it is and there's nothing I can do about it. I always wonder whether I made the right decision agreeing to help him. But then I think of who I was before I came here, and who I am now…"
Raine put up her hood and marched forwards obediently.
And there ya have it. Chapter 21. Muahahaha Raine is a weirdo...and we don't know who she's loyal to...well, I do, but I call the shots here anyways, Right?
Actually that was not how I was originally going to end it, it was going to be longer, but I've gotta go away with the family for a while, now. So the choices were either post it how it is or wait another two weeks.
Don't ditch Beyblade yet. So many dumb people are abandoning fics and websites, but PLEASE DO NOT BE LIKE THEM…stay with us, people, stay with us…okay I sound real weird right now, but seriously…it really bugs me. Dumbfaces.
So anyways, hope you enjoyed that, nothing I can do if you didn't. The next chapter will be posted…uh…either in August or September, probably September because I'm leaving later today for a week or two and most of my time's booked up in August, so yeah. I'll work on it in August, just can't guarentee that it will be done in August.
So, NO FLAMES but please review, 'kay? Make it my 14th birthday present (wahhh I don't wanna grow up, I'm getting old…sniff)
Keep on Beyblading! See y'all later.
