Yami: Almost done!
Kai: Yay!
Yami: You're the muse for my next story, remember?
Kai: Oh.
Yami: Anyway, enjoy!
Kai: She doesn't own anything.
Gundam Dranzer: Chapter 12
The beyblade mega-match continued at a rapid pace. As soon as someone's beyblade stopped spinning, it was launched again. Trashed blades littered the ground. Dranzer was doing well, considering.
With a final burst of strength, all the enemy beyblades were destroyed. The bitbeasts rose up, free from their prisons, and fled.
Multiple guns cocking brought Kai to his senses. He whirled around to find five guns pointed at him. Blaze was in the lead.
"Blaze? But why?"
"Because I happen to think that the earths are better off this way," Blaze grinned. "They don't deserve to be overrun by teenagers who know nothing of what they are doing. They deserve to be ruled by a government that can stamp out wars and famine!"
The Bladebreakers ran over. "Help! There are robot beybladers coming our way!" Ray cried.
Tyson was busy egging Dragoon on. With a resounding crack, the beyblade split. Dragoon rose up and was gone.
"Dragoon!" Tyson ran after the bit beast. One of the robot bladers stepped in his path and shoved him back roughly.
"Kai, as punishment for your crimes, you shall watch the Bladebreakers die!" Blaze laughed maniacally. The robot bladers prepared to launch their beyblades.
Kai could read his former teammates' expressions. No, wait; he could hear their thoughts.
We can't die like this, was what Ray was thinking.
Dragoon, help me! Tyson.
Interesting! How did they get the robots to move like that? Kenny thought.
And, connected to their minds like that, Kai suddenly understood what teamwork truly was.
"Fire!" Blaze commanded.
The beyblades launched, on a beeline for Tyson's face. This is it, I guess.
Before the beyblades could impact, Kai ran forward, a strangled cry rising from him. He took the full force of the five beyblades in his chest. They ripped straight through him, falling harmlessly on the ground in front of Tyson. Kai crumpled to the ground, breathing raggedly.
The freedom fighters took advantage of Blaze's momentary hesitation to launch. Within minutes, the battle was won.
Tyson kneeled down next to Kai. The boy was dying, breathing through punctured lungs, coughing up precious blood. Tyson was soaked to the skin within minutes.
"Why'd you do it?" Tyson asked.
"I learned," Kai managed, grinning weakly. Dranzer, still spinning, came up beside him and emerged from his blade, leaning over Kai. "Take care of Dranzer for me, Tyson," Kai gasped through the pain. And his eyes closed. He stop bleeding and breathing. He was dead.
"Kai?" Tyson clutched the body, sobs choking his throat. Ray and Kenny looked on, any elation from winning the battle long gone.
"Tyson…" Kenny said.
"Let him go," Ray finished.
Tyson stood, wiping sweat from his forehead. He left a streak of blood there.
"Call the paramedics," he said.
When the paramedics arrived at the scene, they discovered Kai's body was gone. The beyblade was still there, but the bitbeast had gone.
Yami: *sniffs* Sad wasn't it? I made myself cry!
Kai: You killed me!
Yami: So? It's not like you're dead right now!
Kai: But I'm dead! See? *points to halo*
Yami: Momentai, Kai. Epilogue next time! See Kai's funeral!
Kai: *grumbles* Yami: Review please!
