I don't own Beyblade, please don't sue me.

The Fool- A New Beginning

Chapter 5

"..." talking

'...' thinking

Both of them turned towards his table, Dizzi... is gone....

Kenny stumbled backwards unbelievably, Tyson caught him just in time as he ran into the tent with Kai beside him, soon everyone else joined them. Aurora looked at the desktop, then looked back at Kenny worriedly, whom still looks shocked and having trouble breathing.

"What's going on here?" Ray asked, taking a step forward, letting go of Aeris's arm.

"Yeah, what made us run all the way back here and ditch my party behind?" Aeris asked, breathlessly.

"Dizzi... she's gone." Kenny whispered, but just loud enough for everyone to hear.

"What?"

"It's the truth... she's gone." Kenny went on, stunned, not knowing what to do.

Aurora looked around and frowned. "Don't move, there're footsteps on the ground." Aurora said, looking at the ground and the muddy footprints.

Aurora stepped onto the bed and looked down at the floor, then jumped down and followed the footsteps, tracing it back to the back of Kenny's hut, then the track continued on. Aurora looked up and paused.

"These tracks lead into the forest." Aurora stated as the others caught up with her.

"This is like a detective movie! Come on, let's go after the thief!" Aeris said, excited she ran into the forest.

"Aeris!"

"That girl!" Ray ran after her into the forest.

"Kai." He turned and looked at Aurora, whom took off her overly long jacket. "It seems like Boris and Voltare all over again."

"Who do you have in mind?" Kai asked, allowing her to catch up.

"Captain Turner." She said, letting her gaze run over the forest. She then turned to Kai again. "Looks like what we learned in the Abbey will come in handy, huh?"

"Hopefully not." He said and they walked into the woods.

[Later]

"See, I told you I know the way!" Tyson said, standing in front of a building deep within the forest.

"You're late, we were here an hour ago!" Kai said, arms crossed.

"What? How did you get here before us?" Tyson complained, dropping onto the ground.

"There is such a thing called tracking prints." Aurora said, standing up. "Come on, let's go in." She turned, ready to go in.

"Aurora, wait." Jana called out and took out her launcher. "Here, in case you need them." She said, handing it to her.

"I should give Ferra back to you, I'm sorry." Aurora said apologitically.

"I can barely launch the beyblade, in this sort of situation, it'll be the best if you have them. And besides... I think I'm going to pass this adventure, Kenny needs someone to look after him right now, I'll see you guys later." She said and smiled softly.

Jana had definitely changed a lot, she now avoided Kai whenever she can, and barely talked to him. Even Kai noticed the difference, he frowned and took a step forwards. "Jana..."

"Good luck, and please return safely." Jana said, cutting off Kai, not bothering to let him finish. Without waiting for a reply, she turned and slowly made her way out of the forest, everyone looked after her. Aurora lowered her gaze, why can't she just hang on a little longer, she sighed inwardly. She looked down at the launcher in her hand, and put it together with Ferra.

"Let's go."

"Let's hope we'll make it out alive." Aeris muttered, and followed them into the building, they looked around, too many hall ways to choose from.

"So... do you know where to go?" Max asked, looking around.

Aurora reached into her pocket for Ferra, and stood in the middle of the hallways. "Yeah." She looked down at the glow of Ferra. "Just follow me." She said, walking into a darkened hallway, the others shrugged and followed after her.

[Basement]

"How is it going?"

The scientists and workers turned to look at the powerful figure walking in. "Captain Turner, glad you could join us."

Captain Turner nodded and walked towards Dizzi, whom is on the center table, being examined by everyone.

"Hey! Get your nose out of my hard drive, don't knock on the keyboard, it hurts!" Dizzi complained as men and women surrounded her.

"Are you sure she's one of them?" Captain Turner said, looking at Dizzi intensely.

"Yes sir, even though she's trapped within a laptop, but she's still as powerful as the rest of the bitbeasts of the Blade Breakers'."

"Um... good, however, check out that girl Aurora, she holds Ferra, I want to know every single thing about her."

"Ferra? I thought she was with Jan..." Dizzi suddenly realized something, then trailed off, but Captain Turner's already in on her.

"Jan what? Jan? Jana? That blond haired girl? What's her relationship with Ferra?" Captain Turner asked, lifting up Dizzi to look at it eye to eye.

"Why should I tell you? You're mean!" Dizzi rejected playfully.

His eyes narrowed, with a swing of the arms, Dizzi's on the ground, it flipped around a couple of times, and the screen went blank, the whole room was silent, no one said anything.

Captain Turner took in a deep breath and straightened out his clothing, then looked around the room. "Remember your tools, if anyone comes and tries to take Dizzi away, use it on them. Mainwhile, get her out of the laptop and destory the laptop!" With that, he turned and walked out of the room.

"Yes sir." The men answered back shakily, and began working again.

[Hallway]

"Are you sure you know where we're going?" Tyson asked, for the millionth time, Aurora just glanced at him, but ignored him.

"Tyson, be quiet! Trust Aurora, she'll get us to where Dizzi is being held captive!" Aeris said, annoyed, rolling her eyes.

Tyson turned to her and made a face, Aeris sneared and whacked him on the head... hard, a loud groan came out of Tyson's mouth immediately, Aeris just titled up her head and walked past him with a satisfied look on her face. "Serves you right!"

Aurora looked down at Ferra as they came to another crossroad, it was glowing in bright red, she looked straight ahead of her, seriously. "This is it guys, ready or not, here we go."

She said, walking fowards, Aeris ran up a few steps and caught up with Aurora. "Just to tell you something... this place feels very familiar to me, I feel as if I've been here before... when I was little." She whispered, walking beside Aurora.

Aurora tensed up for a second, she looked at Aeris, whom is walking on as if nothing's happened. Aurora stopped and looked at the back view of Aeris sadly, how will she take the outcome of everything. 'Aeris... sometimes, I wish I have Kamila's powers... so that I can erease your memories of all the darkness.'

Kai stopped beside her and placed a hand on her shoulder, bringing her back to reality, she turned and looked at him. "Something wrong?"

"I'm worried about Aeris, I wish I could have magic powers that can erease her memories." She said thoughtful, Kai frowned and took his hand off of her shoulder.

"Like Kamila... she only left the memory of her with me." Kai stated quietly, waiting for the others to catch up.

Aurora turned to him, and looked at his profile, after a second, he sighed and looked at her. "I'm sorry... I keep on saying I love you... but when calming down, I actually don't know how I feel anymore." He then raised a bitter smile. "I know I love you, and I want to spend my life with you... but there's Kamila...."

Aurora smiled slightly, she's glad to hear that, he's finally realizing that sometimes letting go of your past is actually better than dwelling on it. She looked down and picked up her foot again, walking towards the end of the hall, Kai matched her pace easily.

"Kai... when did you... start to feel different about Kamila?" Aurora asked curiously.

Kai frowned and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "In front of Tala's grave." Aurora turned to him surprised.

[Flashback]

Kai stood there with strands of blue hair in his hand, looking at Tala's picture and his Wolborg in front of the grave.

"Were you very close to him?" A quiet voice rang out, Kai turned a bit and saw Kamila standing besides him.

"Not really... he used to be my friend, but something came up." He answered, before he left the Abbey, they have been best friends. The three of them have been best friends.

"A girl." She commented and looked down at the remaining blue hair on the grave.

"What?"

She picked up her eyes and looked at him. "You're missing a girl... she was here before, wasn't she?"

Kai looked at her, but didn't say anything. Kamila looked at Tala again, he's pale, but somehow, she found a trace of happiness in his eyes. Must be that girl.....

"She chose him, didn't she?" No answer came, she pressed on. "Where is she now? Why aren't you with her?"

Still, he didn't answer her, because he doesn't know the answer either. He just looked out at the ocean, Kamila looked at him then sighed, her hair blew in the wind. Slowly, she turned and faced him, seriousness in her eyes. Picking up her hands, she cupped his face in her hands and turned his face to her, he looked at her.

"Your face... is like frozen by ice, so cold, so distant, shutting out everyone. I really wish I can melt away the ice that is freezing your face." She said and looked over his features carefully, then reaching up with her right hand, she touched his eyelid softly and carefully.

"Yet your eyes... they hold sadness the amount of an ocean, why? What for? For whom? Yourself? Or that girl? I really wish... with that one brush of mine, I can brush away the sadness in your eyes, making your eyes look less lonely." After a minute, he reached up a hand and gently placed it over the one on his face.

[End of Flashback]

Yes, it was that day... the tone that she used when telling him that she wanted to help him, she wanted to live with him... he felt.... he doesn't know what he felt. However, that was the only moment in the past three years after Aurora had disappeared, it was the only time that she wasn't on his mind. It was that time when Kai actually saw Kamila in front of him, clearly, brightly... he saw her, using his eyes and his heart.

"Kai, don't make any decisions you'll regret." Aurora said, he looked at her, and she smiled then nodded her head and contined on, the others catching up already. Kai fell into a couple of steps behind her, they came to the opening to a huge lab room, Aurora frowned alerted, Aeris is standing frozen at the door, Aurora walked up to her quickly.

"Aeris... are you alright?" She asked worriedly, looking into the room full of busy people, no one had noticed them.

Aeris just stood there... breathing hard, she recognize these people, she knows them. They work for her dad, they work for her dad, they work for her dad... and they have Dizzi.... that must mean.... Aeris's eyes widened, a loud gasp rang out from her.

Suddenly, everything seemed to have stopped, the scientists turned saw them standing at the door, their eyes widened, surprised, shocked, none of them moved. Finally, Ray took a step forwards with a frown.

"Your little game is over! Dizzi is coming back to us!" He said powerfully and loudly for everyone to hear.

The scientists suddenly snapped out of their trance, one of them stepped foward and waved a hand. "Dizzi is just about to be ours, so... why don't you just stand and watch?"

Another scientist behind him already pressed down the button, the screen on Kenny's laptop flashed and wavered, Dizzi's voice rang out broken, not making any sense.

"No you don't!" Aurora took out Ferra, with one move, she launched out the red and white beyblade, and soon, several machines were destroyed.

"Use the weapons that Captain Turner talked to us about!" A scientist yelled, all of them seemed to have gained another life as they ran around, looking for stuff. The screen on the laptop is getting darker and darker, the Blade Breakers took out their beyblades.

"Let it rip!" All four of them shouted together as they launched their beyblades out towards the glass barrior around the laptop, trying to break it.

Suddenly, a red flash of beam went over their heads, they turned and saw many scientists equipped with lazer particle guns, they shared a look, this doesn't look good. And now, the fun is just getting started.

Before you know it, beams were shooting everywhere, Aurora jumped up and did a flip in the air, grabbing back Ferra and launched it into another direction. The program is 20% away from being done, a few more machines were taken out, but the program is still running.

Suddenly, a red beam shot towards Aeris, whom was still stunned at what just happened. Aurora turned and grabbed her towards the wall besides her, the beam missing her by millimeters, Aeries blinked as she was slammed to the wall with Aurora beside her, breathing hard.

"Aeris, right now is not a good time to try to figure everything out, snap out of it and be careful of the beams!" She said and ducked under another one of the red beams, running towards where Ferra's slowing done, the program is 4% away from being done.

Aeris blinked and looked at her backview, she's right. Taking out her beyblade, she aimed for the glass barrior as well, helping them to break the barrior.

3%

2%

The glass barrior finally broke, Kai's Dranzer went to knock it off the stand at that moment, Ferra was flying towards the machine.

1%

Completed.

The program shutted down, the screen went black. Ferra was shot through the machine, but too late. Aurora landed on the ground disappointed, Ferra flew back to her. Dranzer knocked the laptop off the table, but a second too late.

Aurora frowned, and went for the laptop, a scientist turned to her and fired a shot at her. Kai's eyes widened immediately, he ran forwards, and sent her flying, with him covering her.

She looked at him, with the laptop in her arms, suddenly deja vu seemed to have came through the door... the familiar scene... three years ago... at Moscow... the World Championships....

[Flashback]

Tala was like a bird, he flew over to her and pushed her onto the ground. While covering up her body with his own, the pointy end never reached Aurora after all... it pierced through his back....

[End of Flashback]

Pain flashed through her eyes, that scene played in front of her like it happened yesterday. She lost Tala in that accident, she lost the one she loves the most in this world. She can't lose Kai too.

With enough mental strength gathered, she pushed him off of her, he fell onto his side, out of danger, shock and surprise entered his eyes. She flipped around, Dizzi in her arms, close to her chest, the beam hit her on the back sending her to the ground.

"Aurora!"

Kai's shout of her name was the last thing she heard.....

TBC....
