A Whole New Battle All Over Again

^-^ I'm trying to update faster from now on, maybe one chapter every 1-2 weeks at most.

And thank you's to Golden-Feline,

^-^ Now less talking and more typing! Lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*HIWATARI MANSION – DINING ROOM*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Neh… me and Bluefyre are exhausted…" Alex mumbled as she plopped herself onto one of the soft, bouncy couches, "Ya…. I know.." Fei agreed, and the others just nodded. "What time is it…?" Alex mumbled, lifting her head, which, in this case, took much effort, "Man.. only 9:30…." Alex said again as she plopped her head back onto the back of the couch.

"How about you just tell us our rooms and we'll sleep….." Dizzi mumbled, and Kenny nodded, "Would do us a lot of good…"

"Fine… fine… But we have to walk there!! Give yourself a rest first, dammit…" Alex mumbled back. "^-^;;; But Alex, you're never going to tell us our rooms at this rate…" Max said.

"^-^;;; You guys just want to know who you're paired up with!"

"No duh."

"… Just follow moi…" Alex mumbled, and got up, walking through the halls with everyone following, Tyson occasionally bumping into walls and turning a wrong turn.

"Ok. This is my room over here – everyone's rooms will be around mine. Now everyone be happy! First pair, on the left – is Ray and Fei! Mwhahahahahahahaha!!"

Everyone looked at Alex strangely; O.o;;

"Anyways…. Next up on the right here is Kenny and Ryu! ^-^;;; Sowwy. You two were the only ones left…. ^-^;;;; Katrina, you're going with Kai – hit him on the head if he won't let him into his room or call me – and Tone is going with Tyson over there – and Maxy is coming with me!!! Sugar is in the cupboard on the left," Alex said, whispering the last part to Max. "^-^"

"Helloooooo…? Tyson? You dere?" Tone said, waving her hand in front of his face, "Huh… what?" Tyson replied, not sure what of what was going on, "What do you mean by, 'What?'? Didn't you just listen to the conversation going on just now? Any of it?" Tone said, a little bit angry and a little bit hurt from Tyson's reaction.

"Oh… Sorry. I guess I was just hungry and couldn't concentrate…" Tyson mumbled. Truth was, he was lying, but everyone else seemed to take no notice of it.

He had been talking to Dragoon – seems like the ref really had taken Dragoon. Dragoon wasn't sure what was going on, but the next thing he knew he was being giving over to Destiny. From then on, Destiny had carried Dragoon in her hands, and was mouthing stuff, like it was talking to Dragoon – but Dragoon couldn't lip-read.

But, the ref couldn't of taken Dragoon accidentally, and the ref wouldn't have given Destiny Dragoon for free. Tyson didn't know what was going on – yet.

… But what price did Destiny have to pay to get Dragoon?

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Destiny sighed. She was in one of the Abbey's many rooms – the one she used to have before she joined Fei. Destiny sat at the windowsill, looking outside at the light falling snow. This was one of the few places that the bladders could communicate with the bit-beasts.

/I'm so sorry./ Destiny said to Crescent, probably for the thousandth time that hour, /It's ok, Destiny. I understand. It is for a good cause, is it not?/ Crescent replied, and Destiny shook her head, /Yes, but at a price I don't want to pay./

/You know you will pay it anyways. You're a girl of your honor – that's good. Don't worry about me. As long as Dragoon is with Tyson, it'll be all right. Stop thinking of it so much already. We still have, what? Hours left?/ Crescent's voice rang, and the tears that had formed in Destiny's eyes nearly fell, /Only half an hour…/ Destiny thought.

/It's still ok. We've known each other for years – and how do you know we'll be separated?/

/Because that's how they work. And I know it. They'll take you away from me, Crescent! They'll take you away from me, forever!/ Destiny's pained voice rang in her mind.

Knock! Knock!

Destiny looked up, startled. /Who could it be? No! They can't come this early! They just can't!/ Destiny thought, but quickly wiped up her tears as she saw the doorknob turn, and brought up an emotionless face.

"Destiny…?" A soft, shy voice came, and Yumi's head popped out through the small crack that she had opened through the door, "May I come in?" Yumi asked, and Destiny nodded slowly, emotions flooding back to her face.

"What's up?" Destiny said as she looked at the bed, indicating the Yumi could sit there, and she did, "I just wanted to check up on you," Yumi replied, earning a simple, 'oh,' from Destiny.

"I'm sorry about what has happened. I swear we didn't know! Tala just told us – but I swear I didn't want you to suffer like this, even though we wanted you back to us. We didn't know, Destiny!" Yumi said, looking down at the bed, not sure what Destiny would say.

"… It's okay," Came Destiny's soft reply, "I understand. I have to do what I have to, right? Even if it means sacrificing Crescent for Dragoon. Dragoon is just… too important to lose," Destiny said, her expression staying the same even when she felt horrible inside.

"Are you sure? Crescent has been with you for years now. Are you sure you can give her up for Dragoon?" Yumi said, carefully. Destiny nodded, "Ya. Dragoon is a sacred spirit. And without him, Tyson would be finished. I can't have that, Yumi." Destiny said as she turned back to the window, "The Japan Teams can't afford to lose Dragoon…"

              ~~*Using Spongebob weird commercial voice: Half an hour, later*~~

Destiny sighed. She had been thinking up memories with Crescent for the last half hour after Yumi had left. Time was up.

Knock!

She didn't want to give Crescent up.

Knock!

She didn't want to.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

/I'm so sorry, Crescent!/ With that last thought, Destiny straightened herself up and ran to answer the door. 

"H-hi… Mr. Hiwatari…" Destiny said softly, looking straight at the man standing in front of her, "Hello. I believe you had bargained something with me?" He said in the horrible, villain-pretending-to-be-sweet voice.

Destiny gulped, looking down at her pocket, where Crescent lay. Slowly, she nodded. "Good." Then he whispered something into Destiny's ear, and Destiny's one, final last thought before he finished was:

/Goodbye, Crescent… I'm so sorry,/

~~~~~~~~~~HIWATARI MANSION~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Damn was that a great sleep or what, huh!?!? I slept SO well! It was so fun, fun, fun!!! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!" Alex squealed as she jumped on her bed.

"¬_¬ Dear god…." All the girls mumbled. And they all knew what had caused this too, because the boys seemed to be dealing with the same problem with Max, and dear lord they had a lot to do before they could calm the two psycho, sugar absorbed hyper little people before would calm down.

"Yes, yes, we all had a good sleep! Now stop jumping on your bed before you hurt yourself, Alex!" Katrina said, half lying. She had a great sleep – Kai had offered to sleep on the couch while Katrina got his bed – but of course, that didn't last long since…..

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Flash back~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*`*~*~*~ 

Squeals.

"WWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" Two voices rang through the rooms as everyone had slept for just 15 minutes, "Dear Kami who's doing that?!?!?!" Kai's annoyed voice said sleepily from the couch.

Katrina peeked a eye open, "I dunno…. Just go back to sleep… So.. sleepy…" Katrina mumbled as she closed her eye and got into a comfortable position on Kai's comfy bed again, "Hn.."

"YYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!" Came another voice. "This is so fun, fun, fun!!!!!!!!!!"

Now both Kai and Katrina woke and were sitting straight up. There was only one person they knew who would say something like that. Alex. And only Kami knew how she got to the sugar….

"YYYYYYAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!"

…And it looks like she got Max sugar-highed too….

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*End of Flash Back~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"No! This is FFFFUUUNNNN!!!" Alex whined. She didn't look like she was coming down any time soon.

Tone growled a little. She had just gotten to sleep when Max and Alex's annoyed voices rung throughout the mansion. She had been so comfy too. There were two beds in her room right beside each other, and she was just about to fall asleep when it happened.

Damned hyper people and sugar.

"Get down from there!" Tone growled loudly, and stepped onto the bed and grabbed Alex's arm, "NO!" Alex whined. "Alex wants to stay HIGH!!!!" Alex shouted as she latched herself onto the small chandelier on top of her bed.

Lya gasped as she turned on the TV slowly. "Look! INUYASHA IS ON!" Lya shouted loudly as she pressed the 'Play' button on the VCR, Alex immediately stopped struggling and let go of the chandelier, landing on her bed with a soft 'Poof'. Quietly hugging her pillow, Alex moved to the TV screen hunched down and started watching Inuyasha.

"^-^;;; She's been obsessed with Inuyasha since it came out. I always keep a spare in her VCR in case she goes sugar-highed. ^-^;;; She's an Inuyasha nut. (JUST LIKE ME!!!)" Lya said, sweat dropping.

Alex's face was so close to the TV now you could see the images flashing in her twinkly sugar coated eyes. XD

~~~~~~~~~~

Ray looked to Tyson who looked to Kai who slept soundly on the couch, but shouldv'e looked at Ryu who should have looked at Kenny who should have had Dizzi open and scanning the situation.

Max and sugar. One of the worst combinations for non-sugar high people. Sad that the Blade Breakers, and a Fallen Angels member had to deal with it.

Max, who was currently destroying Tyson's bed and room, was looking for more sugar. But thank the lords Tyson didn't bring that candy bar with him from the limo.

"Um… Kenny? Go ask Dizzi what we should do, would ya?" Tyson said slowly. Oh ya. When in doubt, ask Dizzi for help. "On my way Tyson, on my way…"

"Oh dear…. Max is hyper again, isn't he? Well… we could always dress Ray up in a kitty suit again so Max would follow him into cold water…" Dizzi mumbled, "Are you insane?!?!? I am not going back into a kitty suit!!!" Ray objected loudly.

"Tyson can dress up in a pineapple suit." Ryu said, and Kenny looked at him, "Is that supposed to work?"

"Oh sure! A pineapple body to go with his pineapple hair. Just perfect!" Dizzi said loudly from her lab top.

~~~~~~~~~~*LATER SOMEWHERE ELSE*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Destiny looked at the, no, her new  beyblade, which lay in her hand. She had watched it defeat so many during the last world championship, yearned to be as strong. /Crescent? Are you still there?/ Destiny thought. Although it might not work, it was still worth a try.

/Yep. I told you I'd still be here. Just a little roomy…/ Crescent mumbled back, and a rude voice interrupted her, /Shut up. Who said you could talk?/

/Well excuse me! Last time I checked, Destiny was my mistress! It was just because of some stupid deal she had to take you. I feel so sorry for my mistress right now!/ Crescent replied angrily.

/Well guess what, doggy? She's my blader now. And just so you know, I'm the superior one here./ Black Dranzer replied.

Destiny sighed. It was supposed to be a happy thing now that she could still communicate with Crescent, although their link was weak, but Destiny wasn't happy at all.

/Crescent, I guess you should back down. Black Dranzer is mine now, after all…/ Destiny said, and immediately the arguing ceased.

They had improved Black Dranzer from the last time it was used, and Destiny was going to test-drive it by bey-battling a machine that launched out beyblades. It was used by all of the major beyblading places like America, or China.

Putting Black Dranzer onto the launcher that was specially designed for it, Destiny launched Black Dranzer.

Crescent wasn't there anymore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*FEW DAYS LATER*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Destiny sighed. She was at the Hiwatari mansion. It would probably be her last time visiting. But she knew what she was going to do. She had found a reason for doing it, and she would go through with it all the way.

Crescent had disappeared ever since she had first launched Black Dranzer. And she and Black Dranzer had been training everyday, making the bond between Destiny and Crescent weaker and weaker by the second. And since yesterday, Destiny hasn't even heard from Crescent.

Destiny sighed again. It was a cloudy day – perfect for a day like this. Destiny pressed the intercom, and Lucy answered, "Lucy? It's me, Destiny. Can you please send a car over so I can come in?" Destiny said, trying her best to keep a steady voice.

"Oh. No problem, it should be there soon." Lucy said, and with a 'Buzz' sound the intercom went dead.

As Destiny waited for the car, she steadily became more nervous. This wasn't going to be easy. /Calm down./ Came Black Dranzer's voice. Black Dranzer always told her to stay calm – giving instructions was like his job or something.

Destiny sighed again as the gates opened and the car came out. She got in, and prepared to finish the talk to the teams as soon as possible. She just wished that it would be that easy.

~~~~~~~~~

"COMING!!!" Alex's loud voice rang as she ran to open the door. Skipping a few steps and sliding the rest of the way down the staircase was just so easy it took her a whole two minutes to actually get down.

Alex opened the door, and standing there was Destiny, "Destiny! You're back. ^-^" Alex said happily, opening the door wider and turning around to shout, "HEY GUYS! DESTINY'S BACK! COME HERE!"

/Well that sure takes care of that part…./ Destiny thought, and Black Dranzer replied, rather rudely though, /Yes. Although that pestering girl was quite loud… we should just knock her out next time…/

/Oh no. We can't do that to Alex or…or anybody. Don't you understand we can't go knocking people out in this reality?/ Destiny, annoyed, shot back.

/You don't see us following this rule in battle./ Black Dranzer replied smartly. "Hmph…"

By that time, everyone was already at the staircase and coming down, "Destiny! You're back. Did you have a good time with your old teammates?" Fei asked while coming down, "Um… ya. Of course I did…" /Which is why I'm switching teams for good. Bye bye./ Destiny added mentally.

This was so going to be not easy.

Once everyone was down, Destiny said quickly, "Um, I'm just coming over to tell you guys something, so I'll be quick."

"What is it?" Tyson asked, getting a chair and plopping himself down on it, "We still have to do some training before the tournament tomorrow." Ray added. Max nodded, "Yep. Lots of training…."

Ever since the sugar accident, Kai had been working Max non-stop for the destruction of his bed and sleep.

And to keep him from getting sugar.

"Uh… well you see…" Destiny started, looking straight at everyone, but clutching Black Dranzer tightly from her coat pocket, "I've decided to…" She put on a stone hard face. She couldn't turn back now. /Just get it over with./ Black Dranzer said, annoyed.

"What is it?" Fei asked kindly. She was making this so hard for her….

"..I've decided to switch back over to the Russian teams." Destiny said finally.

"What?"

"I've decided to switch teams. I've decided to become the captain of the Lil' Kitsunes again, and I've just come to tell you, we're enemies now. Whoever wins the tournament will be the true victor."

/Hello? Did you go insane? Tell them we're after the sacred bit beasts!/ Black Dranzer added. Gee was he annoying. (AN: I think I'll just call Black Dranzer B Dranzer from now on, it makes it easier…)

"…And we will stop at nothing to get the four sacred bit-beasts." Destiny added. She would not back down.

"What? Why?!" Tyson's surprised expression certainly said that he hadn't been expecting this.

"That's none of your concern. From now on we're enemies! Forget you ever knew me!" Destiny said as she turned around and started heading towards the car. "Destiny! Stop!" Fei's commanding voice rang.

Destiny halted.

"Why are you switching teams? You're an honorable person. I know you. Why would you do this to us?!" 

/Ignore her! Do not let her stop you from leaving!/ B Dranzer's voice rang loudly in Destiny's mind, but she couldn't move from the door, "Why,  Destiny? Why?" Fei asked softly. Destiny still hadn't moved, but she made no indication she was going to talk, either.

/Move!/ B Dranzer shouted, but Destiny still could not move. "…That's none of your business anymore, Fei."  Destiny said coldly, and walked out the door.

Once Destiny was in the car, it drove away, so they couldn't see the tears falling from Destiny's eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mogki Mogki! Was that good? Mogki! ^-^

I tried to base this chapter more on Destiny switching teams, but Oh well…. This is probably going to come out a little bit late, because my internet got cut off and I have a major Geography project.

Not good not good.

Anywho. You guys know the little blue button, right? THANKS!
