Well, here's the last chapter, just to let you guys know, I really
appreciate everyone who reviewed especially Buttery, b/c she reviewed the
most and really stuck with my story. This last chapter is kinda mushy at
the end, just to warn you. Oh and look at the preview at the end about my
next ficcie!
Chapter Five: Taylor Rises to the Occasion
Dart grinned. They were almost on her. Soon she would get her father's revenge. She remembered her abbey home. For sixteen years, she remained hidden from everyone. But sometimes, she snuck in and watched the boys practice blading. It was then that she first got interested in blading. When her father found out, he scorned her, but she showed him. She was there when that idiot boy, Kai, almost destroyed the abbey. But it was she who finally tamed Black Dranzer for a short time, before she was given Feyrin, who suited her much better.
Dart watched as the Bladebreakers and that girl, Taylor, made their way towards what she called their "Final Destination."
The Bladebreakers trudged on, listening to Taylor's continuous whining.
"I'm hungry," she said.
"You should've grabbed some food while you had the chance," said Tyson.
"I'm hot," she said.
"You could've come taken a swim with me," said Rei, jokingly. "The water was great."
"I'm tired," she said.
"You're the one being carried," said Max.
"I wanna go home."
"Doesn't everyone?" said Kai.
"I'm hungry AND hot AND tired AND I wanna go home!" she said finally.
"WE KNOW, TAYLOR, WE KNOW!"
"And I see a light."
Kenny sighed.
"WE DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOU- wait a minute, did you say, a light?"
"Yeah," said Taylor, pointing. "Over there."
Up ahead, there was a big door framed with light. They quickened their pace and opened it. The Bladebreakers and Taylor blinked as they stepped into a bright, artificially lit room. Someone was waiting for them. She had long purple hair, gleaming black eyes and she was calmly filing her nails.
Tyson: *drool*
"Chelsea?! What are you doing here?!"
Chelsea smirked.
Tyson: *drool*
"Well," she said in her soft, cruel voice. "That was fun, wasn't it."
"It was YOU!" Taylor cried. "You're Dart!"
Tyson: *drool*
"Tyson, you baka! She's the bad guy!"
Tyson: *snaps out of it*
"You may call me that if you wish," she said. "But now, I'm afraid it's all going to end."
"Why?!" asked Rei. "I mean, we don't even know you!"
"Ah, you may not know me, but I know all about you. You stole my father's dream away from him. He could've had everything, if it weren't for you!"
Chelsea's voice rose, seething with anger and hatred.
"You destroyed everything! You and your pathetic bitbeasts!"
She was practically screaming now, her voice echoing and reverberating off the pale, white tile walls.
"When you won the Russian Tournament, my father lost everything!"
"Who is your father?" said Max.
Chelsea regained her composure. She calmly began filing her nails again. Her eyes flashed devilishly.
"His name was Boris."
*split screen gasp*
"Boris?" said Kenny. "The same Boris that ran the orphanage in Russia?"
Chelsea looked exasperated.
"Do you know any other Boris'?" she said mockingly. "Because of you my father is in an insane asylum! They didn't even give him a trial!"
"Boris is meant to be in the loony bin," said Taylor loudly. "What kind of a person gives innocent boys no reason to live except to win?"
Her eyes flickered to Kai.
Chelsea looked positively livid.
"That one cut deep, little girl," she said softly. "Let it riiiiiiiip!"
A beyblade flew from Chelsea's launcher and bounced around the room. It shattered Kenny's glasses, knocked into Tyson's back, smashed into Rei's gut, dug into Max's cut even further, and slammed into Kai's broken rib. Max dropped Taylor and grabbed his arm sucking on his tongue and trying to staunch the flow of blood. Kai sat back and gritted his teeth, riding out the pain. Rei doubled over and started coughing. Tyson was pulling himself back up from his fall and Kenny pulled his ruined glasses from his forehead. Chelsea's blade jumped up into its master's hand. Chelsea smirked. Taylor stood up slowly, her legs steady under her.
"Oh now you in bi-ig trouble," she said coolly. "Nobody messes wit' my boys and gets away with it."
Chelsea laughed coldly.
"Ha! Oh, I'm so scared! Like you could beat me in a beybattle!"
Taylor glowered at her.
"Yeah, I could," she said.
Chelsea laughed.
"You don't even have your own blade."
"Or do I?"
Taylor reached into her pocket and pulled out a blue beyblade.
"So that's what it was!" said Tyson. "You stayed behind to get a beyblade!"
Taylor nodded.
"You just got your beyblade today," said Chelsea. "How could you beat me?"
Taylor shrugged as she locked her blade onto her launcher.
"Beginner's luck?"
"3, 2, 1! LET IT RIP!"
The two blades jumped at each other, furiously attacking each other and sending sparks flying.
"Go Feyrin!"
The black bit-beast rose out of the blade and loomed over Taylor, menacingly. The girl stared defiantly back at the giant snake.
"They say your bit-beast reflects on who you are," said Taylor. "Yours fits you perfectly."
"Ooh, she told you!" said Tyson.
Something inside Chelsea finally snapped.
"SHUT UP!"
Feyrin dived at Tyson with its fangs extended, barely missing him by an inch or two.
"Oh no you di'n't!" cried Taylor. "Drion! Attack!"
The beyblade charged at Feyrin, knocking it back and almost flipped it over.
"Looks like I've struck a nerve," said Chelsea. "Feyrin! Go!"
The snake bit-beast leaped on the boys like they were mice, each time only missing by inches. They scattered as Chelsea's deranged laughter echoed around them. Feyrin finally trapped Max in a corner of the room.
"DO IT FEYRIN, KILL HIM!"
Max shut his eyes tightly waiting for the sudden impact of death.
*split screen gasp*
(A/N: If this were an anime show, this is where the commercial would be.)
"MAX NO!"
A bright silver light burst into the room, momentarily blinding everyone and sending a powerful shock wave tearing through the room. The high pitched shriek of a bird of prey echoed through the room, anger coursing in every note.
A large silver owl with gold flecking its tail, wings and chest hovered gracefully above them. Oval marking around its vibrant green eyes looked like glasses, and suggested a sense of knowledge. The long shimmering tail arced in graceful curves around the owl.
Everyone stared, awed, at the magnificent creature above them.
"What is it?" said Tyson.
"It's.a bit-beast!"
"But how.how did Taylor.she.did you.???"
A female voice resonated around them.
"I am Drion, created by Taylor Rukino. It was her love for Max and the Bladebreakers that made me. This girl's undying love and loyalty brought me to life to defend you and I shall always prevail, if you believe in her and she believes in herself and me. Now."
Drion turned her stunning eyes to the snake towering over Max.
".it's time to kick some butt!"
Drion let out an ear-splitting screech and dive-bombed Feyrin. It slithered fluidly out of the way. Drion flared her wings and stopped just before hitting the ground, sending up a cloud of dust. Feyrin spun around to strike Drion, but she gave her wings a tremendous flap and rose up.
"Drion! Star Streak Attack!"
Drion became a silver ribbon as she streaked towards the sinuous snake. Drion swerved and caught the serpent unawares on her wing. Feyrin slid off Drion's wing and writhed in pain.
"OK Drion, attack!"
Drion swooped down with her talons extended. Feyrin suddenly jumped up to meet Drion, bringing them both down. Feyrin pinned Drion's wings to her body and began squeezing her like a sponge.
"Drion no!" Taylor gasped.
Drion reached for Feyrin's rattlesnake tail, grabbing it in her beak. Feyrin hissed and loosed it's hold. That was all Drion needed. In an instant, Drion burst out of Feyrin's deadly embrace, flinging Feyrin to the floor
"Ok Drion, let's finish this!"
Drion steeled herself for the final attack. Feyrin hissed and bared its fangs.
"Drion! Final Attack!"
"Feyrin! FINISH HER OFF NOW!"
The two bit-beasts let out a screech and charged at each other. There was a giant flash of light and explosion. The sheer force of it threw everyone back. When the light faded, both girls were laying on the ground, unconscience.
Bladebreakers rushed to the still body of their fallen friend. She was very pale and there was a little trickle of blood from a cut on her lip.
"Oh please say she's alive," said Max.
"C'mon Taylor," said Kai looking at her ashen face.
Kenny checked her pulse on her wrist.
"She's alive, but very weak, she needs medical attention."
"Don't we all?" said Tyson.
"Hey guys, look at this!"
Taylor and Chelsea's battle had ripped apart the walls of the room, revealing a hidden door. Rei pulled the door open and the cool night air rushed into the room.
"It's the way out! We're free!"
Taylor's eyes fluttered open and she smiled.
"I did it."
"Yeah Taylor, you did good."
Tyson and Rei supported Taylor as she walked unsteadily out into the wide- open air.
"Free! Free at last!"
They walked carefully down the driveway and onto the sidewalk. A police car drove up next to them. They were a mess.
"We've found the missing kids, repeat, we've found the missing kids."
Soon, there were police cars swarmed around the front gate of the castle. Max's mother was worried sick. The paramedics came and tried to load Taylor up but she insisted that she had just over exerted herself. However, they had to take Kai and Max, to patch up their injuries. Two policemen came out of the horror house, dragging a handcuffed, hysterical Chelsea.
"LET ME GO! MY FATHER'S REVENGE HAS NOT BEEN FULFILLED! LET GO OF ME!"
Taylor stared after the police car as it drove away.
"That girl need serious help."
A few days later, everyone was gathered at Tyson's house. Kai and Max were allowed to leave the hospital, so long as Max didn't use his arm too much and Kai didn't try to do too much exercising. Taylor was mostly ok, though still kinda weak and was suspected to have developed asthma.
"Whew! I'm glad that's over," said Kenny.
"Other than the fact that our lives were in danger, I'd say that was kinda fun," said Taylor.
"Are you kidding me?! I was scared half to death!"
"Wasn't everybody?"
Kai touched Taylor's arm. She turned towards him.
'Okay, this is it.'
"Taylor, can I talk to you outside?"
Taylor raised one eyebrow.
"Sure," she said, then to the others, "We'll be right back."
She seemed to look Max strait in the eye before following Kai out onto the porch. She sat on the porch swing and pushed it gently back and forth.
"So, what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?"
Kai closed his eyes. He was so nervous he could hardly breathe.
'Just do it.'
"Taylor, I like you. I mean, really like you."
"Oh," said Taylor, sounding slightly flustered. "Well, I like you too Kai."
Kai opened his eyes, looking hopeful.
"But.it's just that.I don't like you-like you. I just like you. Is that ok?"
It was as if he were a balloon being deflated. His heart sank like a stone.
"I'm really sorry Kai. Gomennesai. You're a really sweet guy, once you get to know you, and I have to admit you're pretty cute."
Taylor winked.
"But I like someone else."
"Max?"
Taylor blushed a little.
"Yeah."
Kai hung his head. He wished he could just disappear. He had been rejected.
"Kai, look at me."
Taylor lifted his face so he was staring straight into her warm brown eyes. They reminded him of melted chocolate.
"I believe that there's someone out there for everyone, and your job is to find them. You'll find someone eventually, and it might be pretty soon if you stay just as you are."
Taylor smiled and Kai felt that familiar fluttering feeling in his heart. She got up and put her hand on the doorknob.
"You comin' in?"
"No, I'll stay out here a little longer."
She shook a finger at him.
"Now don't you go getting' yourself depressed and suicidal or nothin', sweet thang. I don't want nothin' bad to happen to ya, ok?"
Taylor's heartfelt humor finally got to him. He smiled.
"I won't."
The weeks flew by, and it only seemed like yesterday that Taylor had arrived when she was waiting by the gate to board her plane back to America.
"'Bye guys," she said, giving each of them a hug.
"Come back and visit sometime," said Kenny. "Next time we'll try to have a normal vacation."
Taylor smiled.
"Hey Taylor," said Max. He took out a small white box.
Taylor put a hand to her heart dramatically.
"Oh my gosh, you're not gonna ask me to marry you are ya?"
Max tried to look annoyed, but it's hard to be annoyed with someone you like.
"No Taylor, you silly, it's just something I want you to have."
He opened the box and pulled out a silver necklace with a letter "T" charm on it. He then pulled out a similar one from under his shirt. His had an "M" on it. Taylor slipped hers over her neck and gave Max a long, hard hug.
"Thanks Maxie."
She picked up her bag, and walked towards the gate.
"Bye Taylor, have a nice trip!"
"Bon voyage! Arrivaderci! (or however you spell it)"
Taylor looked back at them and winked.
"I'll be back," she said in her best Terminator voice. "And sooner than you know it!"
Taylor sighed. She would really miss those guys. Especially her Freckleface.
"Welcome to Seattle, Washington. The temperature is currently 52 degrees."
Taylor was happily welcomed back by her parents, who were worried sick about her ever since they heard about her being kidnapped and all, although she was much too lost in thought to say anything back. In fact, she was so lost in thought, that she barely noticed when they got home and almost didn't hear her mother say something.
"Taylor, honey, your father and I have thought about this for quite a while and we've decided it's time your father and his brother get back together. Which means.we're moving to Japan."
Taylor stared absently off into space.
"Taylor are you listening?"
Taylor shook her head.
"Sorry mom, say that again? I wasn't listening."
Mrs. Rukino sighed.
"We're moving to Japan."
Taylor: *jawdrop*
Taylor whooped and jumped up, pumping her fist in the air.
"OH YES! THIS IS SO PERFECT! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST PARENTS EVER!"
Mr. and Mrs. Rukino looked slightly confused.
"We are?"
"OH MY GOSH! I'M GOING TO CALL THE BOYS AND TELL 'EM!"
"The boys? Who exactly are these boys?"
"Oh, don't worry, it's just Tyson and his friends!"
Taylor dug excitedly through her bags, looking for the Bladebreakers' phone #'s.
"Oh my gosh, boys, you just wait! I'm coming back!"
So, how'd you like it? I thought it was ok, but I could probably do better. There will be a sequel to this one, but I haven't exactly figured out the plot yet, so who knows when that one will be coming. But I've already got really good ideas on another fic. It's gonna be a really cute, fun, funny (hopefully) fic called "The MiniBlonde aka Candi."
Summary: Guess what! Maxie's little cousin is coming around! What kind of crazy mischief awaits our boys and 3-year-old Candi? Rated G!
I think it's gonna be really cute and fun to write. Thanks for all the support, guys. I had a lot of fun writing this story.

Summary: Guess what! Maxie's little cousin is coming around! What kind of crazy mischief awaits our boys and 3-year-old Candi? Rated G!
I think it's gonna be really cute and fun to write. Thanks for all the support, guys. I had a lot of fun writing this story.
