Chapter 7

Game Over

*Rei's POV*

After the tournament, Kai and I went in search of the other Bladebreakers. At the bridge near Tyson's house, we stopped for we heard the sounds of beybattling going on. We looked down the slope to find that Max was being challenged by this guy with weird hair. It was black with a wide red streak in the middle, and his eyebrows were the same colour red. He had green eyes, a darker green than my hair or eyes, and I noticed that the other three with him all had that same green eyes. There were two other guys and a girl, and I instantly loathed them all. Especially the one who was battling Max, and the girl, for she reminded me of Mariah, even though her hair was dark blue. Kai knew that I was tensed up, and told me to relax. We went down to watch the match, and I was glad when Max lost the match. "Who will battle me next?", the guy asked and I stepped forward. "I will," I said, then to my surprise Kai stepped up next to me. "Let's make this a team duel," he said. The guy nodded. "I'm Ozuma, I hope you're up for a real challenge, Dunga, I want you to battle with me." One of the guys nodded his head. "I'm Zeo," I said, "and this is my best friend Pyro."

We stepped up to the dish and prepared our beyblades. With a cry of, "Three...two...one, LET IT RIP!" , we all launched our beyblades. Max sure got a surprise when I yelled, "Driger, let's show them what beyblading's all about!" Driger attacked Ozuma's beyblade, and I heard Max as he muttered, "But I thought only Rei had the Bit-Beast Driger. I wonder where this kid Zeo got his Bit-Beast?" He was even more surprised when Kai and I both summoned our Bit-Beasts from our Beyblades. I saw his eyes widen in shock when he saw both Driger and Dranzer, the white tiger and the red phoenix. The crowd that had gathered gasped at the sight of two legendary Bit- Beasts. Then Ozuma called out his Bit-Beast, Flash-Leopard, and Dunga called out his Bit-Beast, Vortex-Ape. The beasts clashed with each other, and I urged Driger on. I focused and gave Driger some of my power, giving him the strength he needed to defeat Flash-Leopard. My beyblade spun into Ozuma's so rapidly that it looked like it wasn't even moving. Sparks flew though, and then it made one last attack and spun into his beyblade so hard that it sent the beyblade spinning out of the dish. It would have hit Ozuma in the face if he hadn't have moved, and it was smoking from my rapid attacks.

Ozuma gasped in shock, and the other two members of the team were angry with me. They launched their beyblades at me and I sent them both spinning back to their owners hands. Ozuma picked up his beyblade now that it had stopped smoking, and gasped in shock. He looked at me with hatred in his eyes, and shoved his beyblade at me. "Explain yourself!" he snapped. I looked at his beyblade and laughed sadistically. "You should have been more careful and not allowed me to steal your Bit-Beast. But you were two weak. You're not the only one who've had their Bit-Beast captured by me, Ozuma, just check out your friends' beyblades. They checked to see if what I said was the truth. I turned to Kai. "Are you finished yet, Pyro?" I asked him. "Have you taken his Bit-Beast?" Kai's beyblade was spinning all around Dunga's, so fast that it was a blue blur. Slowly the beyblade closed in on the opponent's and then Dunga's beyblade was sent spinning out of the dish in pieces. I smiled at Kai and he winked at me. I got it, he told me. I turned to leave, but froze as I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and found myself face to face with Ozuma. Looks like we've got trouble, I told Kai. "What do you want?" I asked Ozuma.

I shoved his hand off my shoulder with my own and glared at him. When I was sure he was looking into my eyes, I changed them from the green of my hair to the gold they used to be. The pupils turned slitted and Ozuma gasped in shock. After a moment I changed them back to green, and Ozuma stepped away from me, for he was afraid. He had also seen my fangs, and didn't know what to make of me. I snickered and put my arm around Kai's waist. He smiled and then I said, "Ozuma and his friends have all been defeated." I smiled at Ozuma and he glared at me. I turned and walked away. Come on, Kai, I said. Max followed us and we ignored him until we got to an area where there was no one else around. Then I turned and faced him. "What do you want, Max?" I asked him. "How do you know my name?" he asked. I ignored his question. "How did you get Rei and Kai's Bit-Beasts?" Do you really want to know, Max? I asked him. He gasped at my voice in his head and I smiled. He nodded his head. "We are Rei and Kai," said Kai. Then without warning I launched my beyblade at Max, aiming for his throat. He saw Driger at the last moment and ducked, but Driger managed to nick him in the eye. There was blood pouring out of his right eye socket, and Driger had blood on it. Max put his hand up to his eye and he yelled in pain. I attacked with Driger again, and this time Max couldn't duck as I aimed for his throat for a second time.

This time my beyblade hit its mark, slitting his throat open. The blonde fell to the ground as he coughed up blood, and I caught my beyblade, which was now thoroughly covered in blood. I roughly wiped it clean on the grass, and then I put it in my pocket. Max, who was amazingly still able to speak, but only just, said, "Tell me, how can...you two...be Rei...and Kai...if they're...dead?!" I answered him with, "It's not really any of your business, but both of us are spirits, I killed myself after I killed Kai's murderer." "Why...?" Max asked me. "Why? Because I couldn't live without Kai, that's why," I answered. I don't think he heard me, though. Kai put his hand on my shoulder. Come on Rei, let's get out of here before anyone comes. You need to wash that blood off your beyblade, and your hands. I nodded and let him lead me away. Later on I washed the blood off my beyblade and my hands and then we found some weak beybladers to battle. We totally destroyed their blades and they ran away crying.

*Kai's POV*

I knew that Max was following us after Rei and I left Ozuma and his friends without Bit-Beasts, but I didn't say anything. When we got to an area where no-one could hear screaming, we stopped and faced him. "What do you want, Max?" Rei asked him. "How do you know my name?" Max asked. Rei ignored him. "How did you get Rei and Kai's Bit-Beasts?" Max asked. Then he gasped and I'm guessing Rei used thought-speech. Max nodded and Rei said, Go on, Kai, tell him. "We are Rei and Kai," I said. Then Rei suddenly launched his beyblade right at Max's throat. Max saw it coming and dodged it, but when he lifted his head I saw blood pouring from his right eye. Then Rei attacked Max again, aiming for his throat, and this time Max couldn't dodge. Driger slashed through his throat, and Max fell to the ground, coughing up blood. Rei caught his beyblade and whipped it clean, then shoved it back into his pocket.

I could hardly believe it when Max spoke, I mean, his throat was slit open, for crying out loud. "Tell me, how can...you two...be Rei...and Kai...if they're...dead?!" Rei answered him with, "It's not really any of your business, but both of us are spirits, I killed myself after I killed Kai's murderer." I could see that Max was almost dead, and I was tempted to finish him off so he would shut up, but I didn't because Rei was still talking to him. "Why...?" Max asked, and I knew that would be his last question. "Why? Because I couldn't live without Kai, that's why," Rei said, and I knew that Max hadn't heard him. Then I put my hand on Rei's shoulder. Come on, Rei, let's get out of here before anyone comes. You need to wash that blood off your beyblade, and your hands. He nodded and let me lead him away.

*Max's POV*

I could hardly believe it when I saw the way Zeo and Pyro defeated the Saint Shields. I mean Zeo was up against three, and he beat the crap out of them! When they left after taking the Saint Shields' Bit-Beasts, I was intrigued that they'd used Driger and Dranzer. So I followed them. I think they knew I was following them, because they led me to a desolate area, and then when they were sure no-one was around they stopped and Zeo turned around and said, "What do you want, Max?" I was amazed, how the fuck did he know my name? Then I asked him that question, leaving out the swearing, and he ignored it. Then I said, "How did you get Rei and Kai's Bit-Beasts?" and then I gasped as I heard his voice in my head. Do you really want to know, Max? he asked me. I nodded my head and Pyro said, "We are Rei and Kai." All of a sudden Zeo launched his beyblade at my throat. I couldn't believe it, this stranger was trying to kill me.

At the last moment before Driger sliced my throat open, I ducked, but then I realized that my right eye was burning. I couldn't see anything out of it, and when I raised my hand to it, I felt blood oozing out of my eye, and I yelled, then I looked at Zeo with my good eye, and saw that he was launching Driger again and this time I knew he would kill me, so I didn't do anything. He slashed my throat with his beyblade and I felt so much pain. But I had one last thing to say before I died, and even though it hurt to speak, and I was coughing up blood, I managed to say, "Tell me, how can...you two...be Rei...and Kai...if they're...dead?!" "It's not really any of your business, but both of us are spirits, I killed myself after I killed Kai's murderer." I was finding it so hard to breathe, but I just managed to say, "Why...?" Then blackness closed in all around me, and I could only faintly hear his answer, "Why? Because I couldn't live without Kai, that's why."

The next thing I knew I opened my eyes to find myself lying in the dirt, in darkness. I sat up and looked up to see stars in the sky. My body felt light, almost as if I was floating. I looked down at my hands and found that I could see right through them. I gasped in shock, and then I realized that I must be a spirit. I remembered that I'd always believed that spirits could have physical forms, so I decided to see if it was true. I concentrated and suddenly I had a physical body, so I looked as if I hadn't been killed. I was in my own body, and I pulled my beyblade out of my pocket and looked at it, and sure enough those Bit-Beast thieves had taken Draciel away from me. I decided that I had better go and warn Tyson, and went to his house. I knocked on the door, and Tyson's grandfather answered the door.

"I need to speak to Tyson right away!" I said, and his grandfather called him. Tyson came downstairs and when he saw the panicked look on my face he came running. "What's wrong, Max?" he asked me. "It's Rei and Kai, they're after the four legendary Bit-Beasts!" Tyson stared at me as if I had three heads or something. "Let's go for a walk and I'll explain everything," I said. He agreed to come with me, and I led him to the bridge near his place. "I know that Rei and Kai are dead, but their spirits are still roaming the earth. I know for I've seen them. Did you see those new guys that were battling the Saint Shields today?" I asked. "The day the Saint Shields lost their Bit-Beasts was three days ago. Max that's how long you've been missing, where the hell have you been?" I was shocked. It had been three days since Rei or Kai killed me!? I panicked. "Tyson, did you get challenged by the guys who defeated the Saint Shields?" I asked him. He shook his head.

"Good, because they want Dragoon! You must deny them a beybattle if they ask for one at all cost, for they already stole my Draciel! They are the spirits of Rei and Kai, except in different physical forms." Tyson narrowed his eyes at me. "Max, how do you know so much about spirits?" That's when I decided to try that mind speech thing Zeo had done to me. Do you really want to know, Tyson? I asked him. He jumped and stared at me, raising an eyebrow. Rei and Kai killed me, Tyson, and they will do the same to you. Tyson gasped in shock. "Th-they killed you?! You can't be serious!" Then I changed my form so that I looked like Zeo. Tyson fell over in shock and stared at me with his mouth open. "What did I tell you, Tyson?"

*Tyson's POV*

I was practicing beyblading when this kid ran up to my house, and yelled my name. I caught Dragoon and ran to him. "Tyson, you've got to come with me!" he said. "This team is getting creamed by two new guys that came out of nowhere." I was shocked and I ran after him to where the beybattle was happening. There where two guys beybattling against three guys and a girl. One of the guys had long green hair and green eyes and the other had flaming red hair and violet eyes. From the distance I was from him, it looked as if his head was on fire. I watched them battle. In a few seconds it was all over. The two strangers walked away with four new Bit-Beasts. I watched them as they walked away, and then I saw someone with blonde hair follow them. I couldn't see his face, but I thought it might be Max. I didn't follow him though, because I knew that Max could look after himself.

The next afternoon I grew worried though, for Max hadn't been seen since yesterday. I rang his father and he said he hadn't seen Max since yesterday morning. I looked for him, but I couldn't find him. Then two nights later, I was up in my room thinking about what I was going to do, two of my teammates were dead and Max was missing, and we had a tournament in two days, when my grandfather called me downstairs. I went downstairs and when I saw who was at the door, I ran to him. It was Max, and he had a very panicked look on his face. "What's wrong, Max?" I asked him. "It's Rei and Kai, they're after the four legendary Bit-Beasts!" he said. I stared at him in shock, Rei and Kai were dead, weren't they? "Let's go for a walk and I'll explain everything," he said. We went to the bridge near my place, and Max stopped and said, "I know that Rei and Kai are dead, but their spirits are still roaming the earth. I know for I've seen them. Did you see those new guys that were battling the Saint Shields today?"

"The day the Saint Shields lost their Bit-Beasts was three days ago. Max that's how long you've been missing, where the hell have you been?" Max looked shocked, then panicked. "Tyson, did you get challenged by the guys who defeated the Saint Shields?" I shook my head. I was getting curious now. "Good, because they want Dragoon!" said Max. "You must deny them a beybattle if they ask for one at all cost, for they already stole my Draciel! They are the spirits of Rei and Kai, except in different physical forms." Okay, how the hell did he know so much about spirits? I asked him that, and all of a sudden I heard his voice in my head. Do you really want to know, Tyson? I jumped and stared at him, raising an eyebrow. Rei and Kai killed me, Tyson, and they will do the same to you. I gasped in shock. 'No way!' I thought. "Th-they killed you?! You can't be serious!" All of a sudden Max changed into that green-haired kid! I fell over in shock and stared at him with my mouth open.

"What did I tell you Tyson?" he asked me. 'What the hell is going on here?' I thought as I stared at him. 'He must be telling the truth,' I thought. 'Normal humans can't do that!' He changed back and I said, "Show me your beyblade." He did and I clearly saw that Draciel was gone. "How did you know that those two were Rei and Kai?" I asked him out of curiosity. "They told me before Rei killed me with Driger. When Rei was in the form I just changed into he said his name was Zeo, and the other guy was Pyro." I growled softly at the back of my throat. No one was going to kill my friends and get away with it. "What are you planning, Tyson?" Max asked me. "I'm going to make them pay for what they did to you, Maxy." "No, you mustn't, they'll kill you too." But nothing could stop me. I ignored my friend and went off to find the traitors. Yes, I now thought of Rei and Kai as traitors. They had taken up stealing the legendary Bit-Beasts, and that meant they'd betrayed the Bladebreakers.

*Rei's POV*

I laughed cruelly as Driger destroyed another kid's pitiful beyblade. Damn kids who think they're beybladers. I hated them all, so Kai and I decided that only the strongest beybladers would keep the privilege of being allowed to beyblade, weak bladers got their beyblades crushed. I smirked as I watched the kid run away crying. You're so different from the Rei I used to know... Kai said, as he watched me. The Rei I used to know wouldn't hurt a fly. I gave him a curious look and then I said, I know, Kai, but you never got a chance to see my true self before. Kai's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Zeo, we need to get going if we want to get Tyson's Dragoon today." I frowned at him and said, "Yes, Pyro, I believe you're right. C'mon." Then Kai and I left and headed towards Tyson's house. On the way there, I got an idea, and pulled Kai into an empty alley with me. His eyes were wide in confusion. Rei, what the fuck are you doing? he asked me. I looked around to make sure we were alone, then transformed into my own human body. You dickhead! Baka, change back before someone sees you! What the fuck do you think you're doing in your human form?

Kai was shocked that I would dare to show myself in my human form, because both he and I knew that we'd been on the news as dead bodies. Change back to your human form, Kai. Trust me on this idea of mine, I pleaded with him. He narrowed his eyes at me and then he changed back to his own human form. I smiled in gratitude, then told him to follow me. I ran silently to Tyson's house, which luckily was around the corner, then knocked on his front door. His weird grandfather answered the door, and when I asked to speak to Tyson, he said that Tyson was out with his blonde friend. I frowned at this, Tyson had been warned then. Then I said, "Well, could you leave Tyson a message, and tell him that I came?" then I wrote down on a piece of paper, 'Tyson, meet me on the bridge midnight tonight. Rei.' Tyson's grandpa agreed to give him the message, and I knew that Tyson would freak when he got the message.

That night Kai and I waited on the bridge for Tyson to show up. He did at about ten minutes past midnight. I bet he'd been stuffing his face again. I was sitting with my back to him, staring into the river, when I heard his footsteps. He stopped short when he got full view of who was waiting for him. "Kai? Rei? Oh my gosh! I can't believe it's really you two. I thought you'd been killed! When I saw that news report..." he broke off when he saw the seriousness on my face. "I am dead, I killed myself after Kai was murdered by a white-haired bastard I killed. Remember that on the news?" I replied. Tyson looked at me shocked. I saw the spark of remembrance in his blue eyes and smirked. "My death was undeserved, Tyson," Kai said coming over to me and wrapping his arms around me. I smirked at the look of horror on Tyson's face.

*Kai's POV*

My smirk matched Rei's exactly when I saw the look on Tyson's face as I wrapped my arms around my boyfriend from behind. He reached up and wrapped both arms around my neck, then looked into my eyes and smiled at me. Then he got up and walked over to Tyson, then circled him like a cat circling its' prey. All of a sudden Tyson stiffened, then he tried to run away. But Rei grabbed Tyson's shirt with his fist, not allowing him to go anywhere. "Give me your Dragoon! NOW! Before I really start to get angry. You wouldn't want to see my true anger," he said. All of a sudden Rei's eyes flashed dark brown, then his eyes narrowed and he started to beat up Tyson as if he was nothing. I was shocked at the tiger's behaviour. Tyson surrendered but strangely Rei payed no attention to him. Then he started crying out for help. Rei kept hitting him until he lay still. "Rei, you killed him," I said, walking over to him.

Rei looked at me and frowned. "Leave me alone! I never want to see you again!" I couldn't believe what my tiger was saying to me. But his eyes were still that strange colour, that didn't suit him at all. He grabbed Tyson's Bit-Beast, then ran until I couldn't see him anymore, and I sighed and sat down on the bridge, staring into the water. I didn't know what was wrong with him. Tyson was dead and I was all alone. 'Will Rei betray me again, and steal my Bit-Beast too?' I wondered. I was lonely that night. I lay down on the ground and fell asleep. I thought that I heard a voice that sounded like Rei's laughing evilly, but it could have been a dream. The next day when I woke up, I looked at my beyblade and saw that my phoenix Bit-Beast was missing.

I cursed Rei and knew that Rei had won the game. I smiled and took off my virtual reality headset and then turned off the game. Rei took off his headset and I hugged him. "Well done, koi," I said, and he smiled at me and said, "I told you I would win. Now you owe me ten dollars." I sighed. "Why'd you play such a rotten trick on me in the end, Rei?" I asked him. "I told you I'd do anything to win, even betraying you. But you know I'd never do that in real life." Then he kissed me and I wrapped my arms around him. I knew that Rei would love the virtual reality game I got him for his birthday. It was the perfect present. "That was fun, Kai, let's do it again soon." I nodded my head, already, Rei was eager to play again. I smiled at him, he looked so adorable when he was happy. I looked at the headsets and preset the game to one of my choice. Rei chose last time and said that I could choose this time. "What did you choose, my love?" Rei asked me out of curiosity. "You'll have to wait and see, this one's going to be really fun..."

KBC: Well, please r & r. I want to know what you thought about my ending, and do you think I should write a sequel? :)
