Aww... This story has been going on for almost a year now! A year! I can't believe that. But it's true. And now this is the final post I'll do on it. The epilogue. It's over... I'd like to take the time to thank all my reviewers both on Beyblade Town 2 and the original Beyblade Town. It seems that our journey through these stories is finally coming to an end. And with that in mind, I'd like the guy who started it all to do this, the final disclaimer. King?
King: xxstarsnowxx does not own Beyblade or Beyblade Metal Fight. And thanks to everyone for their support of this fic, and their support of my town, and most importantly, their support of me!
Me: [facepalm]
Epilogue
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
"Shhhhhhh, this is a library," Lera hissed at the screamer.
"Whatever's gotten into you, King?" Masamune asked in a whisper. They were in Lavushka Library for some reason or another, and King's blood-curdling (well, maybe not that bad) scream tore through the silent environment like a bullhorn on a foggy day.
"It's THIS!" King turned his computer monitor screen toward Masamune.
"Oh, it's from Zeo Zaggart. Wait, did I just say Zeo Zaggart, the name of the most hated person ever to come into town?" Masamune was in shock with what he had just said. "What did he send you this for?"
King clicked the photo attachment link beneath the words that Zeo had typed to him. 'King, consider this payback!' Up popped a picture of a wooded forest with some buildings in a clearing and a sign that read 'Welcome to Anti-King Land; population:10.'
King looked so angry he was about to explode when Masamune's shoulders began shaking. "Are you laughing?" King demanded. "You'd better not be!"
Lera glared at the two of them again, and Masamune answered in a whisper, "Well duh, yeah! Anti-Zeo Zaggart Land is awesome, but this place is a total dump! Why are you so upset? The population is 10, for crying out loud! Zeo Zaggart's got nothing on you, buddy!" Masamune punched King in the shoulder for emphasis.
King immediately brightened up. "You know Masamune, you're right! Sure it's annoying to know that Zeo's out to get me, but this is soooo lame. Hey, what'dya say we go over to Ryuto's Roller Coasters? I'm sure bored of this dull library."
Lera chose that time to stomp up to them. "And this library is sick of you! King, I don't care that you're the 'king' of this town, if you can't follow the library rules you're out of here! You too, Masamune!" And with that, the two friends left to have some real fun.
*A few months later...*
"You know, crab, all this partying is fun, crab, but I need some change, crab." Tetsuya yawned as he watched the sun rise on the beach. All the robots stopped partying just when he did; they followed his every move. Due to that fact, when he began the trek back to Anti-Zeo Zaggart Land, they did as well.
Once in sight of the town, people became suspicious that Zeo Zaggart had come back, but then they realized that the robots were all scuttling along behind Tetsuya. "Oh, it's just the crab," muttered Sora. He and the rest of the biker gang were there in town for some reason or another.
Over the next several days the robots assimilated to life in the town they had been created to destroy. Though many of the citizens were wary at first, they soon became acustomed to seeing the robots they used to fear roaming around at free. One thing that the robots had going for them was their skill at doing people's hair and nails. In fact, Tetsuya & Teru's Hair & Nails got more business than ever thanks to them. And so it was that the greatest enemy of the town became a friend. (Well, more accurately, friends, plural.)
*Meanwhile, in Anti-King Land...*
It had been a few months, yet the population had not grown from ten. It had diminished to nine. (One person had gotten bored and left.) Zeo Zaggart, however, was still blissed-out that he had "gotten back at King." Little did he know that King had only cared for about five seconds before laughing at him. (A/N: By the way, this is now occurring after the G-Revolution season of Beyblade.) Tyson came by often, which Zeo was glad for, Kenny, Ray, Hillary, and Max occasionally got dragged along as well, but Kai had never visited since that very first time.
Today in Anti-King Land seemed normal enough to Zeo. He was proudly showing Tyson the new bey pit that had just been built. Tyson for his part was as smiley and happy as ever. "Have you ever tested it out?" he asked Zeo.
Zeo shook his head. "No, but if you want we can have a test battle right now."
Tyson, of course, grinned at this idea. He pulled out Dragoon and Zeo readied Cerberus. "3, 2, 1, let it rip!" The three of them called.
Enter both beys into the new bey pit. Tyson prepared to throw out the first attack, but before the word "go" could even come out of his mouth, a different bey flashed into the pit and knocked Cerberus back into Zeo's hands.
"What!?" Both bladers were shocked at this new occurrence. Tyson's quick scan of the area caught a slight movement behind Zeo, and his eyes locked on a shadowy figure rising from a rather high branch of a tree in the forest.
"Huah!" The figure in the shadows leaped out and struck a neat landing near the bey pit, across from Tyson. Zeo spun around; he and Tyson both gasped as they realized who the newcomer was. "Kai!"
Kai's "smile" looked more like a grimace as he said, "None other." He then addressed Tyson. "How would you like me to be your opponent?"
Knowing Tyson, he'd say yes for sure. "Yes!" Tyson exclaimed, just as Kai had thought. "Bring it on, Kai. You've never beaten me before, what makes you think you can beat me now?"
Kai just half-smiled. "Actually, I have beaten you before. But I guess you wouldn't count that since it was 'oh so long ago'. But never mind, since our beys are already spinning, why don't we begin?" Dranzer immediately flew over the ground toward Dragoon, landing a direct hit. Dragoon soon recovered and fought back. Steady blows were passed along from one bey to the other. Now that both of them had received hard-metal beys from Kenny, they both had much more power than they had had back when they were visitors in Anti-Zeo Zaggart Land.
"Ready Dragoon?" Tyson called to his bit-beast. Dragoon emerged and roared in answer. "Okay then! Dragoon Metal Storm!"
Tyson's bey's special move roared toward Dranzer just as Kai called out to his phoenix bey. "Dranzer, Spiral Fireball!" Dranzer's piercing shriek could be heard from afar as it rose from its bey and met the dragon's attack.
A searing bright light flooded the sky and the impact shook the very ground the battlers stood upon. It was certain that this epic clash would determine the fate of the battle. But when both bladers, who had been blasted off their feet, made their way to the edge of the pit, both beys could be seen spinning very slowly. Then, to Tyson's dismay, Dragoon stopped. Dranzer weakly flew back to Kai, who had finally claimed victory over his greatest rival. Zeo just stood there in shock as the phoenix blader calmly left the area.
Tyson slowly turned to Zaggart after picking up Dragoon. All Zeo could say was, "Well, that went well," in a slightly sarcastic manor.
And thus the town of Anti-Zeo Zaggart Land once more entered into an era of peace. As for Kyoya and Nile, they always remembered that they had saved the town by creating The Plan. Ryuga continued to train hard with Ldrago and entered in other competitions that had world-wide standings. His goal was to make it to the Olympics. "In what?" Gingka had asked curiously one day. "Oh, just something," Ryuga had answered, being in an excellent mood (for him) that day. Ryo worked to improve his TV show, but although it did become significantly better than it had been before, it never matched up to Ryuga TV. Kenta's Ketchup had many more customers thanks to Nile; Yuki's Yams on the other hand... not so much. Everything was finally back to normal in the town, and King King was especially happy about it!
"Peace out, dudes!" he screamed as he and Masamune went down the giant hill on the King Cobra roller coaster.
