LAST CHAPTER!!!! I can't believe it. Well I want you I'm not the type for neat endings so I'll have to let you read and see what you think. As usual I don't own Beyblade. Though I wish I did. Also thanks to Noami Azuki ,Angel-of-hate, Raven-chan, Rei Ayanami, Blader-Yuna, Sofia/3sh, Misstr3zz Ment@l and The End of Infinity. Thanks you guys.

Decisions, decisions

"Explanations, explanations now!!" Demanded the bladders.

"All right all right keep your hair on." drawled Solar, Rei couldn't help but notice how Solar lounged in the chair with the grace of a cat..or rather a tiger. Every move she made screamed lethal animal! But gorgeous with it.

"Hey, we're all friends here." Giggled Noami, this time it was Max who noticed her. She may not have been as elegant as her partner but she was vibrant and energetic.with, he suspected, a mischievous sense of humour too. Kinda like himself.

"Well what's going on!" demanded Kai

Solar and Noami looked at him, so you're the one the expressions on their faces said.

"You wanna know the truth? Fine". Said a voice behind them, everyone turned surprised, Sophie was standing at the bottom of the stairs with an almost frightened look, "everything that maniac Boris said is true. We're mutants, freaks of nature or the next step in evolution. We spend all our lives running and hiding, trying to keep our secret. Some hide in the shadows, some suppress all belief in their abilities or some hide in plain sight..Like the Coven. Unfortunately our predator was too nuts to care. So that's what we are, freaks, monsters, scum..Different." she was almost spitting out her words by the end of her speech, she looked Kai. They stood there stunned.

"..ss s so" what can you do stuttered Max.

"Me? Well you saw my fireballs but I can also heal, which is why those guys are standing up instead of in a coma right now." Chirped Noami, obviously trying, like Max, to lighten the mood.

"Mine are more..attacking powers, I can move things just by thinking about them and I can shield things. Because of our skills me and Noa work as a team for the underground mutant protection organisation. We keep tabs on all the mutants out there if they're in trouble we go help 'em" explained Solar

"What about you guys.?" asked Enrique.

Luc sighed. "You're gonna freak out.but here goes." He closed his eyes and concentrated, then opened them. All the humans let out a squeak.

"You're a vampire!"

Lucs eyes now glowed bright green, his features looked to be made out of ice, though he looked more beautiful then ever it was his fangs that drew the attention. White like milk and with a deadly point.

"Its not his fault! He can't help what he was born!" Sophie fiercely leapt to her friends defence.

"Born a vampire.what an oxymoron." Chuckled Luc tiredly

"You?" asked a shaky Robert

"I'm a cyber," said Gadget as his arm mutated into some sort of machinery, "good with computers I am."

"I'll bet," said a hysterical chief.

"Carmen?" asked Enrique gently.

"Same as Solar" as she lifted him up in the air simply by gesturing, "cool" he said simply and smiled at her.

"Sophie?" asked Tyson. Kai simply stared at her.

She shut her eyes and breathed out then told them to look out the window, only the mutants saw her tears trickle down her face.

"wha.. Nothings happened." Said Tyson

"He's right Soph," agreed Johnny.

"no..Wait..Nothing is happening," said Oliver excitedly.

"Huh?"

"He's right, you froze time!" exclaimed Ray

"I can only do it for a short time and in small area," said Sophie wearily. "I can also speed it up too. Watch" and she touched a plant on the table; it aged and withered under her touch. "It why I don't like to get close to people" she smiled at their expressions, sadly, "in case I lose control."

Kai abruptly left the room. Sophie looked as if her heart was breaking.

"Follow him.," everyone in the room yelled at her.

She looked up, startled. "It's obvious to us that you two care about each other, and we've only just got here. So don't be a nitwit and go after him.," said Solar, not unkindly.

Sophie looked at the others, they all agreed, she smiled and ran after Kai. As she left she heard Ray approach Solar," so know any good moves..?" whilst Noami had bounded over to Max, they were currently arguing about the best cartoons to watch, whilst the other bladders were bugging the others to demonstrate their powers.. "You never said what your power was Gwen.." "well..I can sorta see the future.." "Really? What's my fortune?" "Ummm, it's kinder on the fritz at the moment but I also have really bendy bones, which is useful for my ballet." "And in other places too I bet." "..What? Don't tell me you guys weren't thinking that.."

Sophie smiled to herself; we have good friends she thought. She turned the corner and ran into Kai. They both tumbled to the ground, she saw him flinch away from her touch and she immediately pulled away, mumbling excuses about how sorry she was that she hadn't told him and that she'd just leave now and he'd never have to see her again. Kai suddenly snatched her towards him and placed his hand over her mouth. "ssshhh." He said gently, Sophie just stared into his eyes, stunned. He smiled.

"I guess you must have been really lonely," he half said to himself, " but at least you didn't inflict the barriers around you because you didn't want to be with people, you just wanted to protect them. Unlike me, I just wanted to protect myself. I admit I was freaked out when you first told me, who wouldn't especially after that stunt with the plant..But still. I know you and you are one of the most.. compassionate people I know. I know you'd never hurt someone deliberately. I mean you coulda turned all those demolition boys to dust and yet you didn't, not even to save yourself."

"Well they did take me by surprise"

"But you still could have and you didn't." he took a deep breath, "I'm willing to try if you are."

He looked down at her; she gazed at him, her eyes full of moonlight, tears and..love. For him. They smiled at each other then brought their lips together in a sweet chaste kiss. They had each other and nothing else mattered.

A few days later the Coven boarded the ferry, on their way to their next show.

"no rest for the wicked hey?" said Sophie

"Seems like none for the good either" grinned Kai.

"See you around Kai" she replied as she wandered up the gangplank.

"See ya!"

Kai walked back though the corridor; he had just lost his match in the Russian final tournament. Strangely he didn't feel bad about this, as he had finally realised what great friends and teammates he had. He smiled to himself and then suddenly stopped at the sound of a familiar voice in front of him.

"hi hun."

He laughed and threw his arms around her, kissing her as though there was no tomorrow. When they finally stopped she said

"I missed you."
