Hi everyone, I forgot to say I own nothing but the aliens in the story, the alien characters... and oh yeah the storyline. The actual beyblade characters (you know who) belong to whoever owns the beyblade series, now onto the fic... and gotta get away from the scary lawyer's.

Chapter One: Shizuka awakens

      Blue eyes twinkled with repressed glee, a blue strand of hair slipped across his heart shaped face. With a silent chuckle the blader of Dragoon finished setting up his prank, he exchanged a high five with his blond accomplice and they both slipped from the room.

      "Do you think he'll fall for it?" Max asked blue eyes dancing, Tyson grinned. The person Max was talking about was no other then Ray, the raven haired Chinese boy had said only a day before that there was no way they would be able to play a prank on him without him catching on and getting away from it.

      They were about to show him just how wrong he was.

      "Of course, we planned this for hours," Tyson said nodding, they exchanged gleeful grins... they even had cameras set up to catch everything.

      "What are you two planning?" a cold voice asked, actually it was more demanding. With a start the two looked up from where they huddled and gave a nervous laugh, standing above them was Kai a hard look in his crimson eyes.

      "Only a little prank, nothing for you to worry about," Tyson said with a little wave of his hand; Kai only stared at them harder, causing the two to sweatdrop.

      'Scary' was the twos collective thought.

      "Ummm... should we tell him?" Max asked, Tyson shrugged.

      Max was about to tell Kai when an explosion filled the air, Tyson grinned hearing at least twenty cameras start clicking rapidly.

      Kai gave them a hard look and walked to Ray's room, with that he opened the door and a white fog drifted from the room.

      "Tyson, Max... I'm going to kill you!" Ray raged stomping from his bedroom, the white fog was actually flour... lots of it. He was also covered with another substance; it was reddish in color. The only thing; of his normal coloring were his golden eyes, they blazed with anger.

      Seeing this Max and Tyson exchanged looks; then they ran like little kids in a game of tag with Ray right behind them, not the fifteen-year olds they actually were.

      "That was a great idea, flour bombs with timers," Max said as they ran, Tyson only nodded as he avoided an angry Ray.

      "Yeah, but it was your idea for the Jam balloons," Tyson replied finally, they ran from the apartment leaving Kai behind.

      Once they were gone Kai allowed himself to smile, then unable to help it he leaned against the wall and began to laugh and laugh till he cried.

      Sometimes, it was hard to play hard leader to the others... especially in funny times like this.

      "I do hope Tyson and Max realize they'll have to clean the mess in Rays room when they get back," Kai said a little later, it was then Kenny woke up and seeing the flour on the floor outside Ray's room realized he had missed something.

      This wasn't the first time this had happened either.

***

      Hours later an exhausted Tyson leaned against a tree in the local park, the prank had been worth the explosive results... even the fact they had to clean up Ray's room after.

      Smiling the fifteen-year-old looked up, the leafy branches of the tree shaded from the suns bright and very hot light... he was thankful for that in this very hot summer month.

      Suddenly someone was standing in front of him, looking at them he saw to his annoyance that because of the way the sun was falling on this person he couldn't tell who it was.

      "Eh... hello," he said, the voice chuckled... a very familiar voice to say the least.

      "Don't recognize me," the voice said teasingly, Tyson rolled his eyes.

      "I would help if you stepped into the shade," Tyson pointed out, the person chuckled again but did as Tyson had pointed out.

      The person was a tall and slim teen around nineteen with pale white hair and gray eyes, he wore a loose blue tank top and a pair of jean shorts... a pair of sandals were on his feet.

      "Heion!" Tyson said happily, the older teen could only laugh as Tyson glomped onto him with a hug.

      "I'm almost hurt that you didn't recognize your cousin," Heion said with a fake sniff, Tyson rolled his eyes.

      "Stop being silly, baka," Tyson laughed, Heion also laughed.

      "Its good to see you again Tyson," Heion said, then his demeanor became serious. "Tyson, the elder wants to see you," Heion said, Tyson looked startled for a moment then blinked.

      "So that is why you're here, give me a few seconds. I have to call my team so they won't worry, it would be weird if I just vanished for a week," Tyson pointed out, Heion nodded.

      With that Tyson pulled out a cell-phone.

      Minute's later Tyson was done; then together the two of then walked down the road where a car was waiting for them.

***

      Tyson sighed as he walked through his family's ancestral home, not the small one in local Japan... but a huge mansion in a forest that would put Kai's to shame. Usually he would be happy to be here, he always liked to explore the many halls and rooms of this place.

      It was hundreds of years old, almost a thousand and ten actually. His family had built it when they first set foot on this place; many would be shocked at what this building beheld.

      But this time all that didn't matter, Tyson knew why the elder had called him... it was time.

      Finally came to a large oak door engraved with flower designs; without stopping he pressed a certain area on their frames. The door slipped open quietly.

      "I am here elder," Tyson said quietly, he walked to the center of the room where he sat gracefully like people once did to their lieges. The room was pitch dark, but Tyson ignored all that... he knew what this room contained.

      "Are you ready for the time of freedom, where your true abilities and form are freed?" a voice said, Tyson closed his eyes.

      "I am," he whispered, no matter how much he was scared he knew it was time and there was no way to say no.

      "Prepare yourself, soon you will be considered out of the first stages of childhood for our people. You are one of the few children that survived being born on this planet... so now that you have reached the first stage of maturity you will join your peers in your true form," the elder said, Tyson smiled light.

      "I am prepared," he finally said, he could feel the elders smile.

      "I know," he heard the elder whisper.

      Then it began, and he screamed and screamed. It was a painful process, he had been bound in this form for his entire life since birth to protect him from the humans fear and hate.

      For the first time in many years he was free, free to be himself in his true form sometimes... sadly he would never be able to take his true form around humans.

      And Shizuka of the Heiwa also known as Tyson to the world, took upon his natural birth form once again.
