Bette Midler - Wind Beneath My Wings

This can't be real. Dranzer............ My fire phoenix, something has happened to him................. But what? I must open my eyes, I must wake up! I can't go back to sleep........... Not now, not yet! My Dranzer.........

'Max......' I managed to get out, though my mind was racing.

'Kai, you should be resting,' Maxie told me, but I could not.

'What happened to Dranzer?' I had to know.

'Kai, when your better,' I heard another voice, Rei? What? How did he get here?

'Yea bud, you should rest up first,' Another voice, the only person to call me bud; Tyson.

'Kai, you should know, you've been in a coma for over a week now,' Another voice; Kenny.

'A week?!' I cried out in surprise, managing to sit up, without any help.

'Yea, you had us all worried, the doctor told us that you could die,' Tyson informed me, using his tact........... No wait, he doesn't have any!

'What happened to Dranzer?' I repeated.

'Kai, you really should rest, get well........' Kenny trailed off once I glared at him.

'Kai should know,' Rei said and he looked at Max, who didn't look so sure; 'Kai, when you realised Dranzer, who scared off those people........... You were badly hurt, Dranzer somehow saw you, and went for you. A bright red flash and he was gone,' Rei said, obviously repeating every word that Max told him, and to prove that Dranzer had vanished, he gave me my blade.

The bit that contained Dranzer............ The colour of my phoenix was not there any more, but the out line was. How can this be? If Dranzer had completely and utterly vanished, he would not leave an out-line. Like when Drigger left Rei's bit, nothing was left, just the memories.

'Dranzer will be back,' I said, confident that my phoenix would return.

'Now that your back, he should be back too,' Tyson said, completely confident.

It was strange, to hear Tyson say those words, I appreciated them. Glad that someone else believed that Dranzer would be back soon.

'Maybe when you train again Dranzer will come back?' Kenny suggested, and I nodded.

'All right! You could go against Max,' Tyson suggested, and Max looked down, but I could tell he was blushing.

'We had better go you guy's,' Rei told them, and motioned to the nurse who kept walking past my door.

Max was the last to leave;

'They know nothing,'

'I know Maxie,' I said to him with a slight smile; 'I don't want them to know,'

'They know what happened, I remembered everything...........' Max looked like he was going to cry again, so I managed to grab his hand and pulled him close to me.

'Don't worry Max, we'll be fine,' I whispered into his ear, and kissed him quickly; 'You better go,' I saw the nurse looking in.

'I'll be back later,' Max said and walked out, though I got the feeling that he didn't want to go.

* Oh, oh, oh, oh - It must have been cold there in my shadow, to never have sunlight on your face. You were content to let me shine, that's your way. You always walked a step behind. *

Dranzer was gone. My bit beast. My perfect bit beast. Gone. Tyson was right, Dranzer has stuck by me through all the hardships that I faced, battling Tyson, Max, Dracile, Dragoon, then there was the battle against Johnny. Dranzer has helped me overcome the odds, and I know I could defeat Dragoon and Tyson, but they both have help with Kenny and Dizzy.

Dranzer accepted me, even though still sore, after the Black Dranzer incident. He showed his power by going against Black Dranzer, and forcing him back. I had realised, abet too late, that if I had stopped putting myself down and believed in myself and Dranzer, we could defeat anyone. Seaborg was too powerful, he controled water, much to his advantage. But my god it was an amazing battle.

Shame it could not have lasted longer.

* So I was the one with all the glory, while you were the one with all the strain. A beautiful face without a name for so long. A beautiful smile to hide the pain. *

I researched about bit beasts when I got Dranzer, and I worked harder than before, I arranged my life, everything was in order, and I started the gang of Blade Sharks. I would gain power, and make people fear me, all at the same time.

Dranzer was beside me, helping me with my quest. Though everyone was pathetic. No one could stop Dranzer, or myself, no we were powerful, until a little brat called Tyson came into the picture, then trouble started. He defeated Carlos, then he challenged me, though he lost, he came right back with his new bit beast; Dragoon.

The next fight was a draw. The finale battle was for the championships, and then moving on to go to the world chapionships with a team. I lost, and yet became the team leader. Mr Dickinson told me I was a world class beyblader, and I should not be trying to run away from it. But I did have a good reason to try and run away, Voltaire.

My grandfather gave me my bit beast, the phoenix, Dranzer, who was with me through out the whole thing. Dranzer supported me, and helped me go on my quest to gain the most powerful beyblades. Dranzer............

* Did you ever know that you're my hero, and everything I would like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle, for you are the wind beneath my wings. *

Dranzer can't be gone! He can't be! Its impossible for a bit beast to vanish into thin air, and yt leave a trace of where he was............................ My phoenix has finally left me, has abandoned me, now of all times is when he chooses to leave me alone!!!!

* It might have appeared to go unnoticed, but I've got it all here in my heart. I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it. I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I wish I could be. I could fly higher than an eagle, for you are the wind beneath my wings. *

I can't be angry at Dranzer. He must have been fed up with me. I always put everyone down, and most of the time I can't help it. I put myself down, I know I can do better, and I know other's can too. Its just how I was raised, always told that I could do better, and not to be so weak.

I never said that Dranzer was weak. How can you call a phoenix weak? There is no such thing. No, only the master can be weak, and I was, am. Dranzer has left me, I was dying, I was in a place called limbo, informed that it was between life and death, the gate-way to heaven, or hell, and that I was to go back.

Dranzer, I need you! Come back Dranzer! Come back!!!!!!!! Please come back to me, I'm sorry for whatever I did........

The nurse looked over at me with concern, and I realised that my silent plead for Dranzer to return took over my emotions, I was crying! Actually crying! I had not cried in years..........

'Are you all right?' The nurse, who was only in her late twenties, asked me.

'I'm fine,' I told her, but never looked up.

'Here, and just call if you need anything,' She gave me a tissue, which I used to wipe my eyes, and when I looked up again, she had left the room.

* Did I ever tell you you're my hero? You're everything, everything I wish I could be. Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle, for you are the wind beneath my wings, 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings. Oh, the wind beneath my wings. You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings. *

That was human kindness, to me, that was all I needed. I don't want someone to nag at me to tell them all my problems and the reason for my tears, and say that they understand. They don't, they want gossip, that's all.

All I want is my Dranzer back, all I want is Dranzer.....................

/Master?/ I heard Dranzer voice in my head.

Impossible!!!

/No master, its possible, you invented that word yourself./ I heard him speak again and shook my head.

/Master I am real! I am back. I have never left you because you cannot show your feelings!/

How can this be?

* Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high. Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings. Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky, so high I almost touch the sky. Thank you, thank you, Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wing.
