Change of Heart
Chapter 30
Wings of Light
Summary: Okay, Kyle's in action. Time to see what a bad-ass he can be.
"Kai?" Trisha asked. She stared at her new foe, knowing that this wasn't her intimate from long ago. This Kai held a more ceremonial manner about him, not to mention that he appeared not the same. She took in the gold tracing the boundaries of his triangles, not to mention the gold four- pointed star symbol with blue outline on his right hand. What was more surprising to her was the golden Beyblade hovering above his star hand. "Who are you?" she asked, stepping back.
"I am Kyle of Ari," the Young Prince answered. His voice was different as well, a little more booming and more self-confident. "Who were you before?"
"Before..." Trisha repeated. "Which before?"
"Does it count?" Kyle asked. "Before this, before everything."
Trisha looked away from Kyle. "I..." She lifted her head, her eyes in a violent emerald color again. "I am Hera of the Goddesses and I am the one that will put you in your place."
Kyle grinned. "We'll see about that," he said. The golden Beyblade fitted itself into its launcher. "Shall we?"
Hera's eyes narrowed. "Even with a new Beyblade, I will overpower you, and then Dranzer will be mine forever."
"We'll see about that," Kyle answered.
The two stood above the Battle Dish. "LET IT RIP!" They watched the Blades dance around each other. Both Kyle's and Hera's eyes changed. "I WILL NOT LOSE!"
Vanessa crept into the alleyway, peering at the match. "Hera..." she whispered. "What are you doing?"
"What's going on?"
"Marik – "Vanessa turned around, troubled to see him right behind her. "What are you doing here?"
"I could be asking you the same thing," Marik answered. "What is she doing?"
"Beybattling," Vanessa answered. "But Kai's different now. What's happening to him?"
Marik didn't answer instantaneously. "Go get Jasmine, Vanessa."
"But Marik – "Vanessa began. Rapidly, her eyes glowed blue. She stood unmoving, frozen in horror before Marik. At long last, the apparition ended, and Vanessa moved again. She stared at Marik, and quivered under his stare. "Right." She walked out into the street, knowing he was still watching her. "This isn't right... something worse is gonna happen."
Marik watched Vanessa run back to the warehouse. 'If they fall apart now, they'll lose the Beyblade Finals.' He turned to Hera's match. 'Don't be beaten, Trisha... You can't be beaten.' He disappeared into the shadows.
"His new Blade is strong!" Hera growled at Kyle. "How did you get such a strong Blade? Where did you get it?"
"I have a better question," Kyle said. "Why do you fight?"
"What a thick question," Hera laughed. "I fight for myself and – "
"Why fight?" Kyle asked. "What or who do you fight for?"
"I fight for my own goals," Hera answered. "It's not your interest."
"What do you have to acquire?" Kyle continued. "To be beaten?" His blade bumped into hers, nearly knocking Howler out of the dish.
"Everything... I want?" Hera's body eased for a moment, then at once tensed. "Everything I want?" Howler immediately stopped. Hera lowered her head, her arms quaking. Her head shot up, tears falling from her eyes. "I have nothing because of you... NOTHING!" Howler threw itself at Kyle's Blade, now with twice as much power. "It's your fault, Kai! You took everything. EVERYTHING, Kai! The Trinity was all I had, and you took it away!"
"So why fight now?" Kyle asked, putting his Blade on defense.
"My road," Hera answered. "I'm fighting for my love." Howler knocked against Kyle's Blade. "Marik will run this muddled world as Pharaoh and I will be his Queen."
"Marik plans to throw the world into Darkness," Kyle said, his head down. "And if you want to be in his shadow..." His eyes burned into hers. "I will be the Light that will stop you... HELIOS!" Kyle's eyes turned gold as his Bit Beast appeared. "Helios, Solar Wing!"
All Trisha saw was a blinding golden light, a bit of crimson light, and then a great darkness.
