Chapter 15: Epilogue

Author's Note: Forgive my grammar for the last chapter; I was in a hurry to finish it.  And Nightswift, I didn't respond because I forgot to, you see I was about to in the last chapter, but I was in a hurry and forgot.  Of course it's all right.  And thank you so much for asking!!!  I respect that type of thing.
Well it's that time again.  Yes, sorry guys, this is it.  The last chapter to Hands, I'm sad that it's over.  I had a lot of fun writing it.  Well *sniff* *sniff* here's the last chapter.

"Kai please….where are they?" Crystal clutched onto Kai's arm as they stood there in despair.  Everyone sulked around minding his or her business.

Ray stared up at the now starry sky, something inside of him felt funny.  But he didn't want to burden the others, who were all depressed.  He scanned the area; Kai was standing under the street light with Crystal clinging to his arm, Tyson was sitting under a tree with his head in his hands, Kenny was sitting on the bench looking at his closed computer in his lap.

Ray turned back to the sky, he couldn't figure out this feeling.  It was strange, he then started feel like something was coming this way.  He noticed a star that seemed like it was getting bigger.

'Hmm…I wonder why it looks like it's headed straight for me……….MAYBE BECAUSE IT IS!!!!!!!' Ray's mind screamed.

"Everyone!!!  Something's coming straight for us!!!" Ray shouted, everyone didn't respond immediately but when they saw that star getting closer they ran across the street.  They stood back and watch the star fall in the park.

The bright light faded revealing a person kneeling on the ground; he slowly got up and faced the group of on lookers.

"Hey guys," Damon said cheerfully.

"How could you be so cheerful!?!  Three of our friends just died!!" Crystal said anger burning in her eyes.

The silvered haired eighteen year old looked at them with disbelief, "You really think they're dead?"

"Well they're not here!!"

"But they're not dead," Damon said simply.

"What!?!" everyone shouted except for Ray who stood there silently, for some strange reason it didn't seem to shock him.

"They're alive and healthy, they're just stuck on the island."

"Why?" Tyson said.

"Kai," Damon turned to face the Blade Breakers leader, "Do you remember that little stunt that they pulled after you defeated Sutekh?"

"Little?" Kai said in disbelief.

"Okay so it was a big deal.  But the question is…"

"Yes I know.  Yeah I remember."

Damon smiled, "Well, using such a strong spell like that is forbidden.  They had slowed down time and used a very teleporting spell and sent that explosion somewhere that would be harmless, and the reason why you are here is because Sutekh has been defeated and your purpose there is no longer."

"But what is going to happen to them?" Kenny asked.

"They have to stay on the island for a while."

"How long?" Ray asked.

"Don't know it depends.  Some times days, weeks, months, years, or even forever."

"That's not right!!" Crystal shouted putting her head in her hands.  Damon gave her a sympathetic look and put his hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Max and Tolaku wanted you to have these, " Damon handed Kai two beyblades.

Tyson's eyes widened, "Why would they give us these?  These beyblades are like their souls!!"

"They're missing their bit beast chips," Kai said looking at the beyblades closely.

"Huh?"

"Damon, why are they missing their bit beasts," Kai said looking sternly at Damon.

Damon smiled, "You think that their faithful bit beasts would leave them behind.  They are on the island with their owners."

"Then why don't they have their beyblades?" asked Crystal curiously.

"Do you think they can fit their bit beasts in that small little thing," Damon said pointing to the Beyblade.

"Wha?"

"Those beasts are as big as a car might be even bigger."

"They can maintain their physical form outside the blade!?!  FASCINATING!!!" Kenny said with starry eyes.  Everyone stared at him and then turned and shook their heads in disbelief.

Kai turned to Ray, "You keep Tolaku's beyblade."

Ray blinked a few times, "Why?"

Kai's smirk returned, "Do I really have to tell you in front of all these people?"

"oooooooOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo!!  I know what's goi…" Kai put his hand over Crystal's mouth, but it couldn't stop the giggling she made.  Ray blushed and slipped the blade in his pocket.

"Well, gotta go!  They need my help with getting settled on the island," Damon said as he turned around.

"Wait!!!" Damon turned around and looked at Kai.  Kai closed his eyes and took off his scarf and walked over to Damon.   When he got there he opened his eyes and stood quietly in front of Damon.

"Yes?"

"Give this to Julia." Kai handed him his scarf.  Damon smiled and nodded, then he sorta seemed like he was fading, until he was not there anymore.  Everyone stood there, for a while until Kai turned around and started walking away.

"Kai!  Where are you going?" Tyson called after him.

"Home." He said without turning around.

"But what about the blade breakers, we're short one person!!" Kai stopped turned around and walked up to Crystal who stood there bewildered.

"Are you going back to China?" he asked.

"No, I was going moved here with my parents and Tolaku's family."

"Good, consider you now officially a blade breaker," Kai said, he again turned around and left.

Crystal's eyes lit up, and then she smirked, "Now you guys have a feminine touch to the team!  You guys will have no worries now!!"

Tyson groaned and Crystal shot him a death glare, "DO YOU SOME SORT OF INPUT ON THAT TYSON!!!!!????!!!!!"

"No……he squeaked cowering behind Ray.

"I thought so."

Ray managed to sneak away from Tyson and started walking the way Kai had done earlier, "See ya guys I need some rest after all that fight."

"BYE RAY!!!" Crystal and Tyson chorused together.

*****

After about five minutes of walking Ray ran into Kai, who seemed to be lost in thought.  Ray jogged over to him and smiled.

"Thinking of someone special?"

Kai looked at him and frowned, "We'll never see them again."

"Don't lose hope, they'll come back."

"How do you know that?"

"Let's just say, a friend told me." Ray said smiling up at the starry sky, Kai looked confused then curiously looked up at the sky to see a shooting star.

He smiled, 'She'll come back home'

"Move more to the left, a little to the right, whoops a tiny bit to the left, there perfect!  Set her down Julia!" Max shouted as a big log was set down on top of another log.

Julia swept the sweat on her forehead, "Man!  I wish I had more practice at my powers, this is tough work!!"

"Don't worry Tolaku, Draciel, and Tekero shouldn't be back with more logs until later," Max said as he sat down on one of the logs.  Julia jogged over to him, and sat down next to him.

"How long do you think we'll stay here?"

"It depends," Max looking up at the blue sky.

"I hope it's not too long."

"Well for one thing, you need some new clothes," Max said pointing to her medieval dress that had the sleeves torn off, tears here and there, and the bottom of the dress now reached her knees because it was torn off.

Julia giggled, "Yeah, but look at you!!  We need to find a spring so you can take a bath!!  You reek!!"

"Sorry, it's not my fault.  Maybe we can find some stuff in the castle."

"We'll have to explore that place better."

"HEY!!!  Why are you two getting a break while we do all the work!?!" Tolaku shouted from her sitting spot on top of Draciel's shell, while the turtle was dragging more logs with ropes attached to them and then Draciel.  Tekero came after Draciel in the same situation.

"We just finished," Julia said watching Tolaku slide off and undo the ropes on Tekero and Draciel.  The two bit beasts sat down for a rest.  Tolaku took a seat next to Max.

"I wonder when we're going to get this place up?" Tolaku wondered out lout.

"I think we're doing fine for some people that never been camping in their lives!!" Max chuckled.

"But we have Damon to help us," Julia said.

Tolaku smiled, "Speaking of which…"  They turned their attention to where Tolaku was looking at.  Damon was walking towards them with something in his hands.

"Did you get enough logs?" he asked as he approached them.

Max sprang on his feet and saluted, "YES SIR!!!"  The girls giggled while Damon just smiled and shook his head.

"Julia," she looked up at him, "Kai wanted me to give you this." He handed over the scarf that usually was around Kai's neck.  Julia took and smiled; small tears were threatening to come out.  She silently wrapped it around her own neck, and nodded.

"All right people if you want to survive you better get a home up first!" Damon instructed as the three hopped to their feet.

"YES SIR!!!"
