Song Of Hope: I know you were all expecting 'Dark Gasher's Big, Crabby-Crabby Operation', but it would have been stupid to not put this chapter up before that one. I'll put it up eventually and balance it out, you'll see. Anyways, I hope that everyone reading this has seen my other added chapters. They aren't really chapters, but they must be read. Support Invisible Children.

"What is it?" He gave me a concerned look. I took in a deep breath.

"You'll probably think I'm extremely crazy after this, but it's all true. It all started a few nights ago. I was sleeping and had a strange dream. Lately, my dreams have been nightmares, but this was different."

"How?" I got mad at that.

"I was about to explain how!" I took in another deep breath. "Sorry. Anyways, instead of Ryuuga torturing me, I met with someone I never thought I would, someone I thought didn't even exist. Venus, the Roman goddess of Love and Beauty, but she wasn't really a goddess, she was a spirit that had been worshipped as a goddess. She told me things I never knew, including the fact that I used to live in Koma Village instead of in Kyoto. I had been born in Kyoto, but it was because my father's job, and the security of Koma Village, could have been in jeopardy if anyone had found out that my sister and I had no birth certificates to prove we were born in Kyoto, otherwise they could have blackmailed my father."

"Who exactly is your father?" I took in a deep breath.

"He's the director of the WBBA. People know my father works for the WBBA, but I just say that I don't know his position, which is a complete lie. Not many people make the connection easily, since me and my sister look nothing like our father, but more like-" It was hard to say the next part, "like my, like my mother. And most people don't easily make the connection since, well, after he settled into the job, most people forgot that me and Koi existed, and since he didn't hide it, and because we were born in Kyoto, after the tabloids went digging and digging for dirt on my dad for years and finding none, they gave up." He nodded in understanding. "Anyways, Venus showed me what happened on a day when I lived in Koma Village when I was five. Koi and me were chasing the two-year-old versions of Ginga and Hyoma because they had hidden some of our stuff, when there were alarms going off in the village. Hokuto said there were strangers in the village. We all got scared, looking for somewhere to hide, when Venus made a boulder crash and fall, revealing a cave. We went to hide in there, and there were symbols and writing on the walls. None of us knew how to read, but I could somehow read it. It said

'Darkness lives in the heart, where light can reach no more.
From this darkness of the human heart, L-Drago was born.
From a fragment of a star, this dark power came to here.
This evil power that steals spreading through nations fear.
The hatred and anger became on what he is fed.
Using this top, conquerors brought many dread.
Then, a Pegasus, given the powers of stars and light
Came from a star fragment, and for light would fight.
Pegasis won, but if L-Drago should ever come and return
A daughter of Venus shall then be born, our safety assured
Not the top, but her herself, shall have this almighty power.
With her top, she will come in our most dire and fearful hour.
Her Spirit shall be love itself; she shall always know this to be true
Should she forget, she'll remember that, Ai Minasan, this is you.
Ai Minasan, this is a test destined only for you.
You must find the man whose love for you is true.
All of his love for you, and all of your love for him,
Shall make your power rise greatly, up to the brim.
They shall be a man like a lion, in heart, soul, and pride.
But his heart is like stone, but you shall warm it up inside.
A love shared shall make your powers grow great,
So accept the truth, lest tragedy enter and change fate.'

"After reading that, Doji appeared. He knew I was a threat and he tried to kill me, but I let Venus take control of my body, and she protected us, and sent Doji away. Afterwards, the cave, well, caved in. None of us were injured, but Venus took away our memories. Then, she told me why I had my nightmares, gave me this pendant and Artemis, who was a gift from Luna." I looked around. "Speaking of which, where is Artemis?" Almost as if waiting for it, he jumped onto my lap. I smiled and petted the furry little guy. "Apparently, Luna gave my sister one, and this is her counterpart." He smiled at me in a cat like way, but Kyoya was still totally serious.

"So, what do your nightmares mean exactly?"

"Just what they were about. Venus keeps telling me that the Dark Nebula will kidnap and torture me. I keep trying to prove her wrong, but she won't budge." I realized something. "You aren't calling me crazy?"

"It's far-fetched, but I'm open minded and willing to hear you out. Not to mention, there's a glowing woman over there in a red dress nodding her head every now and then." He pointed at her with his thumb. I looked over and saw Venus and jumped slightly at her sudden appearance.

"Venus! Wait, how can he see you? I thought my pendant made it so only I could see you!"

"He is close enough to you right now that he can see me, and if I concentrate hard enough, I can let him see me. Hello Kyoya. Nice to meet you, I am Ai's guardian, Venus, although, most people are more familiar with my form as Aphrodite. And I am here to show you both something. A great and terrible battle." Everything around us disappeared and turned white. I got Artemis off of my lap and stood up. Kyoya stood up too.

"What is this place Venus?"

"It is a dream state, created by Morpheus on my request. You are still very much awake, but this dream world is needed to show you the past." Kyoya seemed a bit confused.

"Wait, I thought that gods and goddesses always fought each other in mythology, both Greek and Roman."

"True, the higher Spirits used to always fight each other, but now we must work together, if we are to survive. Now, the story begins in a tale, hidden from history, even from those of Koma Village. Kyoya Tategami, you will be the first not of Koma Village to hear of this tale. I congratulate you on this." Suddenly, we were in a cave. "You will not actually see the history. Though Chronos has let me do many things, he will not let us go back in time to witness events, so that we might not change them." I recognized the cave.

"Hey, this is the cave where I saw the prophecy." I looked around and found it. "Okay, now I know that isn't in Japanese."

"It is in Greek, my mother language. After all, I wrote it. Now, look at these carvings. They are the only record of true history, when Alexander the Great was conquering the old world. This record of history was so dangerous, that no historian knows of it, only the Spirits, and now, you two." She brushed away some of the moss covering the carvings. "It all started thousands of years ago. A meteorite fell down, close to Alexander's home. Entranced by the power it contained, he had forgers turn it into a weapon, a powerful tops. He decided to call it a dragon top. After it was used, he soon took over his father's throne, and used the top for conquering the world. The power of this top grew and became darker and darker." She uncovered more moss. "Not long after, another meteorite fell, much farther away, in Japan. Travelers were searching around the globe when they found this top in Japan. They could not touch this top, only the person who lived where the meteorite was found could touch it. His name was Uchuu Hagane." She uncovered another carving.

"Wait, that looks just like Ginga!" She smiled.

"Judging by the last name, that's Ginga's ancestor."

"You are right Kyoya. Uchuu was an orphan, but had the power of a caring heart on his side. When these travelers told him had happened to Europe, he became angry and made the meteorite into a top. After several failed tries, they created the perfect one, a controllable one that had a vast amount of power. He knew that he was the only one able to control it, and came to challenge Alexander the Great himself. After a tiring battle, Uchuu won, but barely. Since then, any conqueror that has come around, a Hagane would come and defeat them, and then they would eventually lose in battle, since L-Drago's power would then be broken. This is the true history." The dream world disappeared, and we were back in the real one. "Now, your next Challenge is coming up in Leontokardo City. You must defeat a daughter of Pluto, who will be participating in the tournament. Have you wondered why you've only met Bladers with Planetary Beys?"

"Yeah, but after I met you, I guessed it was because I needed to befriend them."

"Befriend and defeat them Ai. If you do not, you're power will not properly increase. Therefore, Kyoya, I ask that you do not participate in these tournaments where there is a Planetary Blader. If you do, then Ai might not get a chance to face her, with your power."

"Let's see, I've faced the Bladers for Jupiter, Luna, Uranus, Mercury, Neptune (A/N: explanation will be given when we meet the daughter of Neptune), the Earth, and Mars, so, I've got the Sun, Pluto, and Saturn left."

"You do not have Saturn, Saturn is a Titan, and is in the depths of Tartarus, which is the deepest part of the Underworld, he will not be involved in this fight, and even if he was, he would fight with the Dark Nebula."

"Okay then, so that leaves the Sun and Pluto."

"You actually also have Mars left as well. Hiromasa was not to be the true wielder of Marous, but Kasai Yogen was to be the true owner. Now that she has embraced her destiny, you must face her as well."

"Kasai hates Beyblade, now she loves it?"

"Yes, after Mars appeared to her in a dream, she was shown the truth. Now, she shall play, now, she shall blade." I sweat dropped.

"Okay, kind of a cliché line."

"You can say that again, don't literally do it though."

"Why would you think I'd actually do that?"

"I'm just to used to being around Ginga."

"That is totally understandable." Then I realized something. "Hey, where'd Venus go?"

"I guess she left already."

"Okay then. We should probably get going too." I nodded.

"Kyoya, do you remember where our stuff even is?" He rubbed the back of his head.

"Um, I think so."

"If you're not sure, Artemis!" Artemis came over to me. "Can you smell out the campsite?" Kyoya gave me a weird look.

"He's not a dog."

"No, but he's still an animal, and animals have a great sense of smell." Artemis started running off. "Let's go." We both ran off to where the campsite was.

No one had gone through our stuff when we had gotten there. Kyoya started grabbing our stuff.

"Come on, we'd better not waste daylight. We need to get to Leontokardo City." I gave him a pout face.

"Oh come on Kyoya, we haven't gotten any sleep. I can see the bags under your eyes. Let's just have a rest here, and then we can get going. The tournament is in three days, and we're about a days walk away." He thought about it.

"Alright fine, but only because we need the sleep. He got down on the ground and used his pack as a pillow. I smiled and did the same thing. I closed my eyes, and fell asleep.

In Kyoya's Dream

He was in a dark space.

"Where am I?" Suddenly, I was right behind him.

"You didn't protect me." My voice had a weird, but cool sounding echo affect. He turned around.

"Ai?"

"You didn't protect me Kyoya, you lied." Suddenly, I was getting farther and farther away. He reached his hand out to me, but he couldn't move his feet.

"Ai!"

"You didn't protect me. I was hurt, and nearly killed. It's all your fault Kyoya." Then, I was gone.

"AI!"

"You failed Kyoya, you failed. I've faded to nothing, nothing."

"I'll save you Ai, I swear!" Suddenly, he heard a maniacal laughter.

"Thanks for the girl Kyoya, she was a lot of fun." He turned around, and saw Ryuuga's huge head.

"Don't you touch her!" He launched Leone at him, but his face disappeared like smoke.

"She's gonna be all mine, and that will be the worst fate she could ever have!" He laughed again.

"NO!"

He shot up, holding his arm out. He looked around. "Ai?" He freaked out a bit when he didn't see her, but then, he felt something on his chest. He looked. It was me. It was actually night time at that point, so in the cold, I had unconsciously gotten closer to him for warmth. I was snuggling into his chest, sleeping peacefully. He lay back down on the ground, glad that I was still safe. He gently stroked my hair, and I subconsciously smiled. He smiled too. "At least she's safe, and she'll stay that way."
