Beyblade: Final Battle

Please R+R.

After this chapter, I promise that the sappy Tyson and Dragoon bond will end for a while : P

Disclaimer: I do not claim to have ownership over beyblade. Beyblade belongs to Aoki Takao and the Takara company.

Episode Seventeen: The Howl that Pierces through Steel

The steel plates landed on the dish, creating a few obstacles for the beyblades to avoid. Dragoon swerved to the right, just in time to avoid being flattened. "Man," Tyson panted. "That was too close."

"You just wait. It's gonna get a lot closer." The purple beyblade jumped once more, causing large boulders to drop from above. They just narrowly missed Dragoon, as it dodged out of the way. Tyson stared at his opponent, horror struck. This 'Seth' guy seemed to go to great lengths in order to win. It was like he didn't give a care in the world for the proper rules. So much for the polite boy he had met earlier.

"You won't win this way; and Dragoon and I are going to prove it. It's high time I taught you a lesson," Tyson stated, still panting. "Dragoon, lend me your strength!" A tiny aura spread across Tyson's body, as they shared each other's power.

Zagart stared at the video screen in shock. "What's this? Since when has he learned how to harness the power of the bit beast?"

"You're mine!" Tyson shouted. "Dragoon.... come out!" Slowly, the great Dragon emerged from it's beyblade, letting out a battle cry.

Seth started to laugh. "Ha, I hope you didn't think that Zagart would send me into battle without a bit chip. Hades, attack!" A bright flash of red light filled the dish, as a Hyena bit beast emerged from the beyblade. It was the most fierce, and disgusting creature Tyson had ever seen.

"What the hell is that thing?" Tyson asked, mystified.

"It was a bit beast hidden deep within the ancient rock. Boss discovered it recently, and decided that I was the blader that best suited it's style."

The Hyena grinned, it's extremely sharp teeth showing. It then bit into Dragoon's arm, causing him to roar in pain. "Dragoon!" Tyson cried, his mouth a gap. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!!!" The dragon recoiled as he felt the blood rushing out of him. He couldn't let his master down now; not after they had battled their way to the top.

"I will win for you, Master Tyson," he murmured. "I will win!" The beyblade seemed to respond to his, and their determination. It started to spin a lot faster, as a golden aura surrounded it.

Tyson's eyes widened in surprise . "What just happened? My beyblade wasn't built to do that..." he whispered.

Seth gritted his teeth, as he watched Hades get pounded by the new blade. "Doc, I think it's time to initiate the quad formation."

The doctor nodded. "Very well. It's time for your appearance, my dear wolves." Three figures emerged from the shadows, turning out to be the rest of the wolf pack: Lena, Darryl, and Randy. They launched their blades immediately, intruding on Tyson and Seth's battle, but giving Seth the advantage.

"Randall? Lena? Darryl? What are you doing here?" Seth questioned.

Randy rolled his eyes. "We came to give you a hand," he replied. "Oh, and you do remember that I hate being called Randall, right?" They continued on with the battle, and started to overpower Dragoon.

"I should have known," Tyson said. "Oh well; you'll be defeated all the same." His beyblade started to increase in spin velocity, as it quickly struck all three of the newcomers, knocking them out of the stadium. They then shattered upon impact.

Seth gasped.... such power was a force to be reckoned with. He had to deal with Dragoon now, before he became a threat. "Hades, calls out the Kerberous!" The Hyena glowed an eerie shade of black, as it shot out a red beam from it's mouth. The beam slowly shifted into the shape of a three headed dog; to be precise, Zeo's Kerberous (A/N: it's not really Kerberous, just the shape of the beam). Dragoon stopped in surprise, as the beam attacked him head on. The intensity of this hit was enough to create a large explosion, completely obliterating the dish. When the smoke had cleared, both blades were still spinning.

There was a slight pause, as the two bladers started to recover. Seth was the first to act. "Don't give it time to heal! Demon Howl, attack!" Hades opened it's mouth, releasing a powerful wind burst from it. The result of the attack shattered the surrounding steel plates, and completely shattered the boulders. Fortunately, Dragoon had only sacrificed a part of Driger's weight disk, and a small piece of Dranzer's blade base.

"That was too close," Tyson mumbled, wiping the sweat off his brow. "Now it's our turn. Dragoon, Wind Razor attack!" Dragoon curled up into a ball, releasing large amounts of gust from it's body (A/N: similar to Cyber Dragoon's perfect delete attack). Hades screeched in pain as the winds cut up his body, and retreated back into it's beyblade, which was then knocked out of the stadium.

Seth looked dazed, obviously upset by the match's result. "I lost," he whispered, picking up his broken beyblade. Tyson called back his own beyblade, as the gold armor started to vanish.

"Weird... what the hell was that?" he asked himself, pondering about his own beyblading skills. How did he create that gold armor for the custom beyblade?

"Blast it, we better retreat guys," Seth said, snapping Tyson back into reality. He watched as the four bladers retreated into the darkness, from whence they first came.

A voice came crackling over the intercom. "Well, it seems that you defeated our leader with ease. Well done, Tyson. Your skill impresses us, and is much better than I first anticipated. As promised, your friends and bit beasts will be set free. They'll be waiting for you outside."

Tyson groaned. He had to go through all the trouble of going through all those flights of stairs, but he figured it was worth it. "At least I made it through," he murmured, thinking that things could be a lot worse. Little did he now that thing were already worse.... especially for his friends. Zagart laughed in triumph. His plan was a complete success; no one suspected a thing.

After hearing about Tyson's version of the events that just happened, the group decided to send Dandy to the local hospital. "So then you fought off twenty advanced drones?" Kenny asked, as they walked back to the Granger residence.

"Yeah, it was awesome! I used a custom beyblade to completely destroy them," Tyson replied, sounding happy for the first time in a while.

Hilary, however, still looked concerned. "I wonder why they decided to challenge you in the first place. I mean, we got off easily, and they didn't even harm us. Well, except Dandy."

"I agree with Hilary," Ray said. "And are you sure your okay? It looks like your bleeding hasn't stopped."

Tyson put his arms behind his head. "Relax, it'll heal in time. I'm just glad to be beyblading again!"

Kai grinned. He would finally be able to fight his rival once more.

"Alright, we got one more day until Zody's tournament. I think we all deserve a break for the time being," Kenny announced.

"Good, I'm feeling really tired right now," Tyson said, yawning. He blinked once... then he blinked twice. After that, he realized that every one was gone.

To Be Continued....
