Chapter 2

"Tyson! You're late again!" Gramps scoffed,

"Erk!" Tyson jumped, he'd been trying to sneak into his house and was now flat on his back, right beneath his grandpa.

"Er. . . . hi gramps." He said quickly standing up, his grandpa smiled.

"Good, to make up for it how's about a little practice!" He yelled swinging out practice sword. Tyson jumped and climbed in through the window.

"Sorry gramps! Got a ton of homework!" He called out.

~~~~~

'I hope he can answer some of my questions.' Kurai thought looking at Tyson's house, he sighed and spread wings onto his back, taking flight, he landed on the roof right over Tyson's window.

~~~~~

"So how'd you do?" Max asked Tyson over the phone. Tyson laughed.

"He freaked out of course, but I got off. Told him I had homework." Max laughed too.

"I still don't get how you get onto merit. You barely do any of your class work." The blonde youth said thoughtfully.

"Hey dude, it works for me, just don't question the system." They both laughed at once and Tyson looked at the his beyblade, it sat neatly in his palm and was shining. He smiled and tuned back into what Max was saying.

"So I hear there's this new tournament in Canada. Maybe we should go? Wonder why they haven't sent an invitation to the world's champion." He remarked snickering. Tyson replied lazily.

"Probably know that I'm gonna win the whole thing." He smiled and Max laughed.

"Watch that ego dude!" He said and hung up. Tyson did like wise and thought about his old teammates.

Kenny was still here, and was still lecturing his eating habits, Max was in their class too. Not one of them could go a period without talking about beyblades, it drove everyone nuts! Ray, he'd run off somewhere. Probably back to his village with the white tigers. And Kai? He ran around places, after the tournament and he'd basically disappeared. No one had really heard from him since. Tyson sighed and turned over, suddenly he felt something in the air. Sitting up he saw, nothing out of the ordinary, but his room got too stuffy. So he got up and grabbed his beyblade gear. Pulling on his gloves he walked outside and prepared to do a few practice launches. He smiled and decided that he was going to try his 'jump shot launch' the one he'd used on that bladeshark, or whatever his name was. He backed up and bit and ran forward about 10 steps, jumped high up and launched! The beyblade shot straight and careened off the wall, leaving a small dent it spun in one spot like no tomorrow. Tyson smiled, walked over and bent down to pick it up when he felt something in the back of his neck. He spun around and saw someone on the roof.

"Hey! What are you doing up there?!" He demanded of the youth. The silver haired boy turned his head and gave a despaired look. Tyson froze, it was that kid from today, the one who looked like he'd been about to lose everything. The youth turned to look back at the moon and Tyson frowned, the moonlight bounced off his silvery hair and he seemed to glow in it. The other boy shook his head and jumped down from the roof, landing on the pavement he looked at Tyson in the eye.

"W-who are you?" Tyson demanded.

"I need to talk to you." Was all he said. Tyson stared.

"I . . . . . . . . have a question." Tyson gaped at the boy and finally managed a reply.

"Er. . . . . . okay." The youth stared at him in the eyes, and Tyson saw that they were blue, but more like a cat's eyes, then human.

"Why do you care about your friends so much that you would risk your life?" He asked. Tyson glared at him as if that was the stupidest question this guy could ask.

"That's easy, cause their your buddies, you look out for them and they look out for you." When the boy's eyes showed that he didn't understand Tyson sighed.

"Your friends are like your family, understand?" The youth shook his head and replied in a small whisper

"I never had a family." He looked away and stared at the ground. Tyson stared then muttered.

"Sorry." The youth shook his head and stared back at Tyson, harshness covered the confusion.

"Just watch out for us. They're after you, and they want your bitbeast. Beware a falcon's deadly claws." He whispered, and ran out the main gate.

"Wha-? Hey! Come back here!" Tyson called running out the gate after him. He reached the road and looked wildly around and he saw. . . . . . . . nothing.

"Weird." He murmured and walked back in shaking his head, not realizing that if he had looked up he would have seen a figure floating in the sky, wings in the background. He was a small black figure against the moon.

"Be careful Tyson, they're after you." Kurai whispered and flew off.

~~~~~~~

"So what's this about a tournament?" Tyler muttered. Boris smiled.

"A new tournament in Alberta, Canada is being held. You're all going to be there so that you can win it, and if my information is right, the Bladebreakers should be there as well. That's your new mission, to destroy the Bladebreakers!" He yelled in his raspy voice. Everyone stared, then Tyler broke the silence by whispering

"You're insane Boris. How exactly can we do this? I mean, I don't even have a bitbeast!" he yelled out. Everyone nodded and Boris smiled.

"We can fix that." Tyler shook his head an anger.

"I'm not taking one of your freaky bitbeasts. I refuse." Boris laughed.

"Don't worry, we've a solution." He said smiling with the joy of a hidden secret.

"Why don't you just tell him?" A voice muttered harshly. Everyone turned to see who it was, except Tyler.

"Took you long enough." Ty muttered still looking at Boris. Kurai shrugged and leaned against a wall.

'What do you have planned you freak?' He thought looking at him, trying to see the emotion behind that visor, he however gave nothing away.

"Come Ty." He grinned and walked out of the room.

"That's Tyler, Boris."

~~~~~

"Behold." Boris smiled and revealed the beyblade. Tyler glared at the beyblade, then at Boris.

"Are you serious?!" He demanded faintly.

"Very."

Tyler walked up to the alter and placed his hands gently on the chained beyblade, almost afraid that if he touched it, he would break the dream. He slowly touched the chains with a finger and they vanished. He carefully lifted the blade and smiled insanely.

"I accept the mission." was all he said and Boris gave a laugh.

"Well done, you will make us proud."

Kurai stayed close to the wall and sighed. Tyler knew he was there, but didn't bother to announce so.

'Black Dranzer, one of the 4 legendary bitbeasts. The lord of fire, with you by my side, no one will stop us.' Tyler thought and smiled.
