~Last time~
"So, you're fighting against . . . death?" asked Kenny.
"Yeah." She responded.
"How?" he asked.
She grinned, "I'm a forest pixie."
~Now~
"You're a what?!" they all shouted.
"Now you've done it." Commented Dizzy.
"What do you mean?" asked Mariah.
"Ta- Tyson has barely hit the tip of the ice burg with them, and already you're telling them that you're a pixie. How very pixie-ish." Dizzy replied.
"I AM a pixie, Diz." Mariah.
"Do you mind if I ask some questions?" asked Kenny, who seemed to have recovered.
"Shoot." Replied Mariah.
"Ok. Earlier Tyson called you 'Maia' (said my-uh by the way) is that a nickname?" Kenny.
"No, that's my real name." Mariah/Maia.
"You called Tyson 'Takao' why?" Kenny.
"That's for me to know, and him to tell you." Mariah/Maia.
"What's going on in here? It's too quite." Tyson had entered the room, Dragoon and Dranzer in tow.
"Nothing." Said Mariah/Maia (Just 'Maia' from now on.) innocently.
"Right. Sure. You have two seconds to tell me the truth, or you have to get the others." Tyson.
Maia appeared to be weighing her options.
"1." Tyson.
Maia still seemed to be considering.
"2. Now you get to go get the others, WITH OUT raising the alarms. Bu-bye."
Maia looked hurt as she stood up . . . and vanished.
Literally.
We're talking, into thin air.
Least to say, the others were surprised.
Not shocked.
Too much had happened for them to be shocked.
"She's tweaked." Commented Draciel.
"Yeah." Said Tyson, before fixing his eyes on Kenny. "What happened while I was in the other room?" it wasn't a question, it was a demand.
"Mariah told us she is a Forest pixie. What's a forest pixie?" Kenny asked.
"A very mischievous pixie, with powers of their forest. And yes, before you can ask, they do each have their own forest." Said Tyson irritably.
Kenny just stared at him, openmouthed.
Tyson smiled slightly and turned to the bits. "I have some things I need you guys to do." He informed them.
The bits all quickly got up.
"Dragoon, Dranzer, I need you to search the city. I don't want to be taken unawares again. Anything out of the ordinary, you come back here and tell me. Do NOT try to do something yourselves."
They both nodded and went outside.
"Draciel, Drigger, I need you two to go watch the abbey. I don't want to be dealing with Biovault and Death at the same time."
They both nodded and left as well.
"Dizzy, I want you search the news sites. I'm looking for random deaths, unexplained explosions, strange animal sightings, the usual."
Dizzy vanished from Kenny's laptop.
"I have a question." Said Max as Tyson sat down again.
"Go ahead." Responded Tyson.
"If they're our bits, how come you can order them around?"
"That's a long story, Max. One I'd rather not tell just now." He replied.
* POP *
"Whew. You have got to fix the wards, Tymon. They were holding me out." There was too much smoke to see who was talking.
"They're WARDS Egan. That's what they're supposed to do. Can you get rid of the smoke?"
Just then the smoke cleared to reveal . . . ENRIQUE?!
It was definitely Enrique.
But like Maia, he had changed.
As in, majorly.
His once blond hair, was now sky blue, his eyes a dark blue- almost black.
He was wearing a crimson shirt, black pants, and black boots. (That's right, I never told you what Maia was wearing. She was wearing a soft doe brown skirt, lavender shirt and black boots. Her hair was hanging freely.)
"Hey, Egan." Said Tyson mildly, "where's Emalia?" (What is it with me and 'E' names right now?)
"She's with Maia, trying to convince her not to kill you." Enrique/Egan replied.
"Ah." Said Tyson, just as there was a pop and two more people appeared.
One was Maia, looking like they had last seen her.
Next was Emily.
But, like the other two, she looked different.
Very different.
Her usually orange hair was a soft gray-blue, her usual blue eyes a coal black that was twinkling with suppressed mirth.
Her usual lab coat was replaced by a silver-white tank top and silver-blue skirt, her glasses were gone and she was holding a silver computer, which she promptly handed to Tyson saying, "Here, Tyler."
"Thanks!" Tyson exclaimed.
"Why does everybody keep calling Tyson a different name?" demanded Kenny.
Tyson shrugged saying, "I've had a lot of names."
"So, what's going on? Why are we all here? Where is everybody else?" asked Enrique/Egan.
"Everybody else?" asked Ray, whose head was beginning to hurt.
"They're busy. I just wanted you all to be here to get started. Others will be coming and going as their missions require it. But you guys are management." Tyson stated.
"Greeeaaaaat." Muttered Maia.
"Are you still mad at me?" asked Tyson.
"Yes." Maia responded.
"Don't soften it for me, please." Said Tyson sarcastically.
"Fine, I won't. You are a jerk who thinks he rules the world just because he's a mage." She said angrily.
"He's a what?!" shouted the bladebreakers.
"Now you've done it." Muttered Enrique/Egan.
Tyson looked about ready to kill. Through his teeth he said, "Get. Out. Of. Here. Before. I. Snap." He seemed to be physically restraining himself from jumping at her.
Maia took one look at him and vanished.
"Now, Tyler-" began Emily/Emalia.
"Tyson. I go by Tyson now, Emalia." He said quietly. He appeared to be fighting the urge not to strangle someone.
"What's your real name, then?" asked Kenny, who seemed to be able to take anything in stride.
Tyson gave a wane smile. "I don't have one."
Enrique/Egan gave him a look.
"Well," he amended, "not one that I use. Guys, go home, I'll be there in a few moments."
Emily/Emalia and Enrique/Egan nodded, and vanished.
"Tyson, could I talk to you? Alone?" asked Kai, frowning.
Kenny opened his mouth to say something but snapped it shut when Tyson nodded and stood up.
They went into the family room and Tyson promptly traced some glowing symbols on the door.
Kai gave him a questioning look.
"A warding spell. They can't hear us." He explained sitting down on a chair and looking at him calmly.
"I have a feeling that whatever you want to talk about, you don't want them to hear."
Kai nodded before saying, "we're the ones from the prophecy, aren't we? 'they be the best' it means the best at beyblading."
Tyson said nothing to deny it, so Kai continued. " 'one of knowledge' is Kenny. 'one of faithful friendship be' is Ray. 'the thirds power lies within his soul where his innocence is the key' is Max."
Tyson continued to look at him, silently. Waiting for him to complete his thought.
"You're the 'one who never let's his soul be breached' is you. And I'm . . ." Here he stopped, not wanting to finish that line of thought.
Tyson said softly, "you are the one 'who's past be mystery'."
"Yes." Whispered Kai. "But how's it possible? I have memories. They're not pleasant, but the are there."
Tyson was trying to maintain his emotions with every bit of will power he had.
It was hard not to comfort your soulmate.
In fact, it was classed level one impossible.
It was even worse to pretend you didn't notice.
But Tyson had been doing both for years, and had gotten quite good at it.
That didn't mean he liked it, though.
He swallowed hard at the hopelessness on Kai's face.
"You have to find your memories for yourself." He said quietly.
"How?" such a simple question, Kai. So simple, yet so hard . . .
"You have to relive it. All of it." Oh, he hated himself . . .
"How?" repeating yourself, Kai?
"I can do it, if you want. But you have to be sure . . ." don't be sure, don't be sure, don't be sure.
"I'm sure." Heaven help me.
" . . . and you have to trust me. Completely." There. No way he can-
"I trust you, Takao. I think I always have . . ." oh, dear god. I haven't heard him use that name in years.
"You won't see it all. Things you learn in school, facts, will all have to be relearned."
Kai nodded silently, and Tyson swallowed.
"Come over here."
(Kai's pov)
"Come over here." He said it so simply, his eyes blank.
So why did I think he was in pain?!
I got up slowly and moved in front of him expecting a spell or something.
Takao looked at me for a long moment.
I don't know why I was calling him Takao, besides the fact that he had asked me to.
I looked at him silently as he finally stood up.
"hold still." He said it quietly and leaned forward.
I barely had time to feel him brush his lips against mine before a rushing filled my head and everything went black.
(back to Tyson's pov)
As I watched Kai disappear, I realized something. I missed him. I had buried it behind hundreds of other emotions, but it was still there.
Finally Kai had disappeared entirely and Tyson turned walking back into the room, only stopping to say, "blessed be, Kai. Go well." And with that he went into the other room.
