Sorry but I'm writing a couple of other fics at the moment. I've been planning a Naruto fic for ages now, I've liked writing some fighting scenes so I really want to try my hand at a few ninja fighting scenes.
The other fic is a request (yes someone actually wrote to me and requested a story yay!) so I feel I must do it…oh who am I kidding, I love the idea and have already started deciding the chapter order! The first chapter should be up next week!
Anyway…..I do not own Beyblade or Secret Smile by Semisonic
Still coping with his defeat Tyson had been thrilled to be back home, unfortunately his grandfather had met them at the airport and his cries of 'never mind little dude' and 'you'll do better next time' rang out loudly. It made Tyson feel even more embarrassed than usual but Hilary who had arrived on an earlier flight was waiting for them too and she gave Tyson a friendly hug that made him feel a little better.
"Hi Ty" Hilary whispered
"Hey Hils! Hey are you coming with us to the BBA to train?"
"First of all Tyson I don't play and Second of all aren't the Blitzkrieg Boys supposed to be meeting you at the Dojo later?"
"Oh yeah" Tyson rubbed the back of his neck in an embarrassed way "I forgot about that but… welllll the BBA are offering us an all you can eat buffet!"
"Someone was stupid enough to offer you Tyson Granger an all you can eat Buffet?" Hilary rolled her eyes and pulled out her phone "I'll call Kai!"
"You're the best!" Tyson told her
"I know" Hilary rolled her eyes, she listened to the answer phone message then she began to talk "Hi Kai, I'm just calling to tell you that Tyson's changed the venue for today's training." Grinning she decided to tease Tyson a little "I know I know he's annoying, and actually the only reason he's changed it is so he can get free food. Anyway we're gonna be at the BBA so if you could meet us there that'd be great! Bye." Hilary turned away from her friends and whispered "Love you!"
"I heard that" Mariah whispered coming up behind Hilary and making her jump.
"Don't do that!" Hilary hissed feeling embarrassed and trying to ignore her friends mocking laugh.
They all regrouped at the BBA building, The Blitzkrieg Boys, The Blade Breakers, Hilary, Tia, Max, Millie, Ray, Lee and Mariah all gathered together.
Kai had got Hilary's message and the Blitzkrieg Boys had arrived at the designated meeting place at the same time as everyone else. Almost everyone began training, Hilary and Tia disappeared off quickly to get some work done but the others were there to get the Blitzkrieg boys ready, to train them until they were ready to beat team Thunderbolt.
Kenny looked as if his eyes hadn't left his laptop screen in hours, Millie sat down next to him and looked over at the screen.
"Is that Tyson's battle against Kendall?" she asked interested
"Yeah, I'm trying to work out how Kendall could drain Tyson like he did, he put up almost no fight during that last battle"
"Can I see?" Millie held out her hands and Kenny passed over the laptop, Millie stared intently at the clip for a few minutes. She then tried to enhance the pictures but it made no difference annoyingly she couldn't see why Tyson had been defeated so easily
"Anything?" Kenny asked
"Nothing…wait" Millie looked closer at that screen "look at that"
"What?"
It was odd, Millie wasn't looking at any of the battle shots but at a bit before the final games when Tyson and Kendall stood side by side.
"Watch"
They watched as Kendall knelt in front of the dish as though checking it, as he did this something else seemed to happen, he reached into a back pocket and looking like he was polishing his beyblade he did something else. After Millie had played the clip and Kenny gasped, "No fucking way!" Angry Kenny jumped up almost dropping his precious laptop
"Kenny?" the rest of the group looked at the bespectacled boy in shock
"Give me Dragoon" Kenny demanded as he marched forward holding out his hand
Surprised but trusting Tyson handed over his beyblade, "Just be careful with him"
Kenny grabbed the beyblade and immediately threw it down in the floor
"I said 'be careful' but I can understand how you could interpret that as 'destroy my beyblade please' Kenny what the hell?" Tyson yelled indignantly
Together Millie and Kenny both grabbed the pieces of the beyblade and studied them carefully
"This was damaged with something stronger than the usual attack ring!" Kenny yelled getting angrier and angrier by the second
"What?" Tyson looked at the pieces and didn't understand "What do you mean Chief?"
"Look at this" Kenny held the bit chip and other pieces out to Tyson who grabbed them and gasped
"This isn't right" he sounded broken hearted, "how could I not have noticed?"
"I don't understand" Tala moved forward and held a hand out "can I see?"
Tyson handed over his defence ring and Tala looked at it carefully
"What's wrong?" asked Mariah curiously not able to see the beyblade herself
"The damage on Tyson's Beyblade seems to show that something on Kendall's beyblade was not matching the regulations. That's why he played so badly" Kenny explained "this different ring threw him off on almost every attack he made, Tyson couldn't judge it properly, it also disturbed the spin gears. They made the alterations after the final checks from the BBA officials"
"If you look here" Millie pointed out on the laptop "you can see Kendall make a change to his beyblade..."
"Its after they did that, that his game became slightly better!" Kenny finished for her
"And mine got worse" Tyson groaned
"Is there no way that its just a new metal or something?" Lee asked looking at the damaged beyblade
"No" Kenny shook his head "those ridged markings along the edge there could only be made by a non regulation beyblade!"
"That's cheating!" Mariah exclaimed
'No duh!' Kai thought to himself as he watched the scene before him
"We have to report this" Kenny exclaimed
"Oh yeah" Millie nodded agreement "who knows how many times they've done this before?" Everyone seemed to be nodding agreement, the general consensus was that Mr Dickenson and the BBA officials needed to be told.
"We can't tell anyone" Tyson declared, "look guys do you want to go right back to the beginning again? Don't you all remember what we decided when we discovered Barthez Batallion were cheating"
"Barthez Battalion cheated?" Millie looked surprised
"It's a long story sweetie" Max told her pecking her lightly on the cheek "I'll tell you later"
"Ok" Millie nodded blushing "so what did you decide?"
"We decided that we would fight it out" Tyson told her "that we would beat them whatever dirty tricks they decided to play. And we'll do it again this time. You better beat him Kai" Tyson looked over at Kai and though he received no actual response from his friend he knew Kai was determined to win.
"But Tyson, this means that your loss…." Millie complained but she was silenced by a look from the Blade Breaker. They all nodded understandingly, Tyson was willing to let his loss go so that Kai would have a shot at beating Kendall. After all they all wanted to see Kendall humiliated
"So this doesn't ;eave this room" Tyson commanded
"Well surely we can tell Tia and Hil..." Mariah began but found herslf silenced by a cold interruption
"No one can tell Hilary" Kai commanded coldly "if she finds out she will tell Mr Dickenson for sure!"
"But Kai" Mariah protested "she needs to know"
"No" Kai shook his head "Tyson's right, if we report them now we're going to have to go back to the beginning. Hilary would insist on telling Mr D and besides it would be better if she wasn't burdened with this right now. What do you think guys?" he turned to look at his team mates.
The Blitzkrieg Boys spent a few moments exchanging glances, finally they nodded in agreement. They knew what they wanted to do
"We keep it quiet, we fight" Tala nodded "We make Kendall pay for all he's done"
The others nodded in agreement
"But to do that" Spencer told them "we need to be better than ever before. You guys all train us with us, and don't you dare hold anything back"
"I'm with Millie" Kai smirked at the blonde "I want a rematch"
"If you think you can handle it" Millie disentangled herself from Max's arms and then pulled out her beyblade "But somehow I doubt you can manage it"
Kenny tapped away at his laptop before looking up at Tala who was up next against Team Thunderbolt. Spencer had played a game managing to draw against Bavin. The two of them had left the arena looking pleased. Bavin was not a fan of cheating and was thrilled he hadn't had too but Spencer was happy because he knew that a draw was their best bet.
They had decided that if the first match ended in a draw then the opposing team would only be likely to use their illegal designs if they felt pushed into a corner. It had annoyed Spencer to e told to pull back but as it was he and Bavin had been on the same level and if he was honest a draw was actually the best he could manage.
"Give me good news chief" he muttered as he looked over at Lando who stood to face him
"I can't tell you much" Kenny muttered, "all I can really say is that they aren't likely to use the non regulation beyblade when they really need it"
"So it's a last resort?" Tala questioned "They aren't likely to use it until the end?"
"I can't tell exactly but…" Kenny looked over at Kai "they are more likely to use it in the deciding battle, most likely at the end"
"When Kai's facing Kendall?" Tala asked
"Worry about me when I'm up" Kai commanded not even looking at them "Just get up there Tala!"
Nodding Tala made his way up to the dish, looking across at the team that had tried to do so much damage he clenched his teeth gritting them angrily.
"3...2.…1 LET IT RIP"
Both beyblades hurtled through the air landing in the dish at the same time and circling each other warily each waiting for the opportunity to pounce. It was Lando who made the first move, he seemed to want the battle over and done with quickly as Lando immediately began to grind his beyblade against Wolborg. Tala seeing this immediately began to move around evasively, he didn't want to exhaust either himself or his beyblade before they had a chance to settle into the game.
Moving carefully weaving around the dish Tala was surprised, Lando seemed to be expecting this as he followed at a slower pace. Looking across at his opponent Tala felt angry, Lando stood smirking but it was the figure behind him that angered Tala the most. Kendall stood watching intently but it wasn't the game that his eyes were fixed on it was the brunette standing by Mr Dickenson.
Hilary was looking determinedly at the table in front of her employer but whenever she looked up she would see Kendall's eyes on her and look upset.
God Tala wanted to smash his face in, he would take Kendall by the neck and…..
"GET YOUR HEAD IN THE FUCKING GAME TALA!" The yell came from close to Hilary but it also came just in time. In his anger Tala had allowed his attention to stray from the matter at hand and as he looked back down he could see that Wolborg was wavering as Lando's beyblade went heading for him
"Evade!" Tala yelled feeling relieved as his precious beyblade moved away from the oncoming attack. There was a moment where the beyblade faltered a little but soon it was back on an even keel spinning and picking up speed!
"Not bad" Lando commented "your lucky blondie got your eyes back in your head"
'Blondie?' Tala wondered then he realised where he had recognised that voice before 'Tia' he muttered to himself 'damn now I owe her one!'
The crowds were cheering loudly fro Tala, many had not yet gotten over Tyson's loss and Team Thunderbolt was rapidly becoming one of the most hated teams in the entire beyblade world. There were many times when Tala's beyblade scraped along the bottom of the dish, to the watching crowds it looked like he was about to be beaten but every time with grim determination he managed to pick up the speed getting Wolborg to lift up his edges and fight as hard as possible. The crowds cheers were certainly helping him but he needed to get his act together and concentrate on what was in front of him not around him.
'Fine' Tala thought to himself, 'we need a win right now….we're gonna get it'
"OK WOLBORG, LETS COOL THEM DOWN"
Immediately the temperature in the arena dropped and a cold wind swept up, Tala's hair whipped across his face he smiled a little manically as he started to spin faster and faster around Lando's blade. It was a move he hadn't used in a long time and he wasn't sure if he could even do it now that the cybernites had left his system but it was worth a try.
"Freeze them" Tala whispered and the cold air centred around Lando's beyblade forming an ice block around the beyblade
"CUT THROUGH IT" Lando yelled trying desperately to spin faster in and attempt to cut through the ice and counter the formidable attack
There was a last whoosh of cold air and then there it was in the centre of the beydish, it looked like an ice sculpture, it's tiny size was nowhere near as impressive as the first one Tala had ever created but it had done its job a hell of a lot better. Lando's blade was stuck, frozen still in the ice. There was a cracking sound as the ice broke in to and Lando's blade split down the middle ended up with the two halves of the beyblade inside the two individual halves of the ice.
"TALA WINS!"
The cheering was deafening as people jumped onto their seats screaming their appreciation for what Tala had done. Wolborg returned to Talas hand ice cold but Tala clutched it tight ignoring the almost burning cold. 'Good job'
Tala walked over to the bench as calmly as possible, he was exhilarated but he knew not to show it, that wasn't the Blitzkrieg Boys way. As he arrived beside his team Tala noticed that Kai's line of vision was very similar to what his own had been when he had gotten distracted. Kai was watching the opposite team angrily, what was it with Kendall? Why wouldn't that guy just stop smirking like that?
"You alright Kai?" Tala looked at his friend a little worried he had been out all night and now he looked as though he was ready to murder someone.
"FINE!" Kai hissed, Tala smiled
"When you say fine like it's a curse word it means your not fine! Come on Kai if your angry you'll lose control" Kai looked at Tala and realised that he was right. He needed to keep his anger in check until he got up to the dish and then he would let Kendall have it, all of it.
Looking back up at where the officials sat he noticed that Hilary and Tia had left their seats, panicking slightly he looked around. He couldn't see them anywhere, had Kendall arranged something….? Was that why he was smirking?
"Looking for something?" a very welcome and familiar voice asked
"Hilary!" relieved Kai turned and smiled "For a moment there you had me worried" he wanted to hug her but managed to contain himself
It seemed that Hilary and Tia both found his statement funny for some reason, they laughed
"Just keep your head in the game" Tia said with a smirk as she glanced at Tala
"Thanks for that" Tala nodded to her "I owe you"
"I'll make sure to collect"
"You be careful Kai" Hilary told him fear lacing her voice "Just don't hurt yourself!"
"I make no promises" Kai gave her a smirk as he raised his eyebrows in a mocking way
"And please...Just be careful of his non regulation beyblade" Hilary whispered grinning as Kai stared at her, he probably couldn't have been more surprised if she had grown an extra head "show that idiot what you've got" she told him nodding at Kendall. Grinning and only just resisting the urge to grab Hilary and kiss her senseless Kai turned back to the dish.
Slowly but steadily Kai walked towards the dish where Kendall stood already waiting. The two opponents gave each other looks that made the ice attack Tala had just used seem as hot as the desert sun.
The animosity that the two of them obviously had could be felt and the cheers for Kai started before the countdown had even begun.
"3...2...1 Let It Rip"
Kai seemed to launched his beyblade a little before Kendall but both blades hit the dish at exactly the same time. As Kendall's hit the dish first it seemed to dig into the surface of the dish before it gained speed.
The audience were thrilled that Kai's beyblade had been launched with his usual launch stance and the power was evident it smashed down into the dish but somehow despite the force with which it was launched and landed it didn't even scratch the surface as it immediately began to circle the dish. Dranzer seemed to float as it moved around causing the dust Kendall had created to fly up.
As soon as Kendal got a steady spin going he was all over his opponent, his attacks seemed clumsily at first but Kai soon realised that Kendall had already fitted out his beyblade with its non regulation attack ring. The clumsy attacks were probably calculated hits designed to damage a beyblade where it would be worst hit.
Kai needed to create some distance between himself and Kendall, fast!
He was hit repetitively, he felt as though his whole body was being pounded from one side to the other. Kendall was ensuring that he and Dranzer were never being given even the slightest chance to move away. Finally he gave Dranzer a silent command and as soon as the beyblade was about to be hit Dranzer dipped down to one side and as it was hit flipped up and into the air.
There were shouts of shock and annoyance for the crowd but Kai merely smirked as he yelled a command throwing his hands out.
Dranzer landed on the opposite side of the dish from Kendall and after landing safely began to zigzag gracefully across the dish avoiding any attacks headed his way. Kendall looked at Kai and immediately knew that he was in trouble, the grey eyes that stared at him with stony coldness grew angrier.
Kai's mind went back to what has happened in Russia
His memories went back to when he had walked into that changing room and saw Hilary small and afraid huddled in the stalls, she hadn't even seemed to notice the shower above her was on and water fell down on her. Her brown hair had been plastered to her face and her whole body was noticeably trembling.
Kai's anger grew as he remembered the way she had flinched at his touch,
The cold grey sparked darker with anger
"Is Kai Ok out there?" Tyson asked as he jumped down from his seat behind the Blitzkrieg Boys bench and stood beside Tala "He looks angry"
"Kai's always angry" Tala joked trying to lighten the atmosphere but it didn't do any good he could actually feel Hilary tensing up next to him
"No" Hilary shook her head "he's really angry"
"Yeah but you know Kai, everything's ok while he's still wearing his scarf, as long as he's got that o….oh shit" Tala watched as Kai yanked his scarf from his neck and threw it beside him onto the floor
"Now we're for it" Tyson muttered
"Have security prepare the evacuation plan" Mr Dickenson murmured to the person next to him, there was a quick nod and the person ran off. "And to think I thought with it not being Kai and Tyson I would get to keep my beautiful stadium"
Mr Dickenson sadly shook his head and held onto his seat as the stadium around him felt like it was rumbling
As Kai got angrier and angrier at the person opposite him he lifted his hand to his neck and before he realised what he was doing he had pulled the scarf form his neck and threw it to the floor. Gathering up his energy he hissed commands to Dranzer and watched with amusement as the beyblade began to move faster and faster around the dish causing a rumbling sensation to sound throughout the stadium.
Shouting out desperate commands Kendall watched as Odin was hit in such a way that it almost stopped spinning, Kai was beginning to get faster and stronger, it seemed almost unbelievable.
"Odin Whirling attack" Kendall yelled weakly was it him or was the air getting dry?
"Dranzer fires of the desert" immediately the wind picked up again but now instead of cold air and ice the arena started to head up and the dust and sand began to gather in the dish. The rumbling continued, it was the strangest sensation almost like being in an earthquake and yet somehow safer, the rumbling and shaking continued as Dranzer gathered speed and momentum drawing in the dust dirt and sand in the arena causing a huge cloud of dust to form. There was a bang almost like an explosion but which was in reality the two beyblades hitting each other but the dust was causing this impossible to view.
There was a sound from within the dust cloud it sounded like a beyblade grinding against another and suddenly another almighty bang and then silence. If you were an experienced beyblade or had attended one to many games you could tell that only one beyblade was still spinning in the dish.
Suddenly both opponents dropped to their knees panting, it looked as they were both out for the count
The question was who was still spinning in that dust cloud?
Hope this isn't too rushed!
Please R&R
