The Mask of Zeo 2
Counter Fight
Last of the Brave
Makoto was still trying to decide about what he saw.
Was it a dream? Was Johnny right that when the beyblade hit him it stirred distant memories?
But Makoto had never seen them when they were his age, well only in pictures.
The boy went out back to see Ling and Ryoko finishing a battle that ended in a draw.
"Hey, look its Makoto," Ling said after picking up Driger.
She ran towards him and hugged the boy.
"Hiya Ling."
"How did you sleep?" Gou asked.
"I had this crazy dream, well Uncle Ray said it wasn't...I don't know what to think about it."
"Well, tell us then," Johnny asked
"Okay...I woke up in the Granger Dojo and went to the kitchen where I saw my uncles, your fathers, as they were twenty years ago, Uncle Ray greeted me pulling out a chair but then I greeted my other uncles, they said they just wanted to appear like that, they said they wanted to see us and they knew we wanted to see them and then we talked for a couple of minutes and then I woke up, I said to Jess it was a dream but Uncle Ray said it wasn't."
"That happened to me a couple of months ago, I woke up back home in the Fang Tribe Village."
"Fang tribe?" Makoto asked with a confused tone.
"That's the name of our tribe, well it was before Zeo killed them all, outsiders just referred to us as Neko-Jin's in the Neko-Jin Village but we didn't mind as it technically was the truth."
"Oh," was the boy's reaction to what the monkey had said.
"Okay, let's get back to work, you're the last of the brave and we've gotta get you all stronger for when we take on Zeo and when we make him pay for what he's done to you all, the line must be drawn here!"
They nodded and went over to their beydishes.
"Are you sure you want to blade Makoto?" Johnny asked making sure the boy was alright.
"Yeah." He dug into his pocket and remembered Dragoon was upstairs.
"Sorry, I forgot my blade upstairs." He ran back into the house taking his shoes off and went upstairs grabbing Dragoon then went back and put his shoes on before joining the others.
"Okay, 3...2...1...LET IT RIP!" Makoto was off against Gou, Ling was fighting against Ryoko.
"Johnny, do you think we're ready to face Zeo with our Beyblades and to fight?" The blue haired teen asked.
"Nearly." It was late and they were in the lounge letting their stomachs settle after their evening meal.
It was around 10 o'clock, dinner was four hours ago.
"Nearly?"
"Well if I said you were ready, you'd slack up and get cocky and over confident, there's always room to improve."
"Johnny's right, we can always improve, our fathers did and they were the World Champions for over three years running...they improved...we can improve, we're the last of the Brave Bladebreakers, their blood runs through us...we are to carry on their torch and make sure their and our names wont be forgotten, they faced challenges and always prevailed...we have to face the challenge that Zeo has given us and we're gonna hit him head on and get revenge for our parents who lay in those graves because of that mad robot when they could be here now..."
"Gou, they are here now," Ling said.
"Where?"
"In our memories, our hearts, our souls, daddy said he'd never leave."
Makoto laughed to that response slightly annoying the girl in his arms sat resting on his lap.
"What?"
"You're right Ling, I agree."
"What was the laugh for?"
"I was happy you said that, that's all."
"Oh." She leaned back into the boy's grip.
"When are you two finally going to admit your in love?" the two looked at Ryoko.
"Scuse me?" Makoto asked.
"Its obvious to us all your both in love," he smirked.
The two looked at each other and Makoto remembered his meeting with his dad and uncles that felt way to real to be just an ordinary dream.
"We're just good friends," Ling said slightly blushing with embarrassment.
"I see that blush Ling?" Jess laughed.
"What blush?"
"Ling and Makoto sitting in a tree..."
"Ryoko, shut it."
"K.I.S.."
"Don't say it Ryoko."
"S.I.N.G..first comes love, then...HEY!"
Makoto threw a pillow at him.
"Okay, I'll stop when you two admit you're in love."
"No Ryoko, calm down...give them some time," Johnny warned.
"Alright, it'll be fun seeing how long it takes."
"Don't tease them Ryoko or they'll never come out about their relationship." "Yeah, Gou...I think you've got a good point."
"Just leave us be, if we are in love...we'll work it out soon," she said slowly and unsure.
Deep down they both knew they were in love but were afraid to confess their true feelings for each other.
"I'm gonna go to bed," Ling got off the boy's lap and left.
"Night Ling," Makoto said after her.
Ling slowly climbed the stairs to their shared room.
Thoughts were going through her mind at light speed.
Was she really in love with Makoto? Was he in love with her? If he is, will he talk first? Will she get the courage to talk first?
When she got to the room she changed into her night clothes and went to the bathroom.
Her mind was still spinning with questions of her feelings for Makoto.
She brushed her teeth, used the bathroom and went to bed.
It was only a couple of minutes before she was asleep.
Dreaming about Makoto...wait Makoto? She woke up and realized she was in love with Makoto.
"I am in love with Makoto," she whispered to herself.
"Well Ray, she finally realized it."
"Yeah, but when will Makoto realize it and they both come to their senses?"
They entered the bedroom and sat down on Makoto's bed.
"You do have a beautiful daughter."
"Thanks, Makoto is a great kid." Tyson smiled looking at Ling.
"Our kids are going to make a great couple," the Neko-jin said.
"Really?" Tyson had to be sure.
"Yeah really, they're caring, smart, good looking, both have things in common like Beyblade."
"Plus, in a way they're us at a younger age."
"Yeah, they inherited Driger and Dragoon," Tyson said and Ray nodded.
"Night guys," they heard Makoto say and feet going up the stairs.
Ray got up and kissed Ling on her left cheek.
"I love you Ling."
They vanished as Gou and Ryoko came in.
"Its freezing in here," Ryoko said rubbing his sides.
"Ssshhhh, Ling's already alseep," the Russian whispered.
"Can't you feel how cold it is around Makoto's bed and Ling?"
"I'm okay, I'm used to the cold." Ryoko got another cover out of the closet and put it over Ling and for himself.
Makoto came up around an hour later with Jess and Johnny.
Heat had returned to the room and like Ling he was thinking about his feelings for the girl.
His father and uncles said Ling was in love with him, he knew they'd never lie to him but he was a little nervous about doing it.
He saw Ling and Ryoko with extra covers on their sheets.
Makoto was a little confused but shrugged it off and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
When he returned from using the bathroom he went over to Ling like Ray had.
"I love you Ling, I hope I can say that to your face." He kissed her on her forehead and went to his bed.
Makoto was sure they were all asleep.
But Gou had seen it all, he turned over smirking and went to sleep.
"Wake up guys, morning," Johnny said to them.
Gou, Ling and Ryoko woke up more instantly.
"Makoto, come on, it's morning." He went over and shook the teen awake.
"I'm up," he said.
Makoto took his time getting dressed and so did Gou which was weird.
When they were all dressed and out Gou confronted Makoto.
"Makoto, I saw what happened last night."
"What?" he asked slipping on his cap and twisting it through his midnight blue hair.
"Don't play dumb Makoto, I saw you with Ling."
"Everyone did, she was on my lap in the lounge."
"No."
"Well what then?"
"I saw you kiss Ling and admit you love her."
"How?"
"I was awake waiting for you to do something."
"That's just wrong...okay, maybe I do love her but don't say anything, let me get the confidence to say it myself."
"Okay, now let's get breakfast."
"FOOD!" Makoto ran out of the room.
Gou sighed and followed after him.
But passing the guest room in the corner of his eye he thought he saw Kai.
Gou looked but nothing was there.
He went into the guest room but then saw Kai on the stairs out of the corner of his eye.
