A.N.: As I wrote on "The Li Guardians", yeah! I'm still alive. . . just a
LOT of studying has kept me really busy, but I'm still writing fanfics
whenever I get a chance, so I haven't stopped. As a matter of fact, I'm
far from it, although I DO take long to update. . .
I'm aware of that, but I can't really do much about it. -___-'''
What follows is the sad/bittersweet ending of "Different Lives". If you don't like these kind of endings, then please wait a little more for the happy ending, it's done already (actually I wrote it before this), but I decided to wait a little more to put it up (look at author's note below to find out why).
Oh yeah, warning though: the happy ending includes a weird YAOI, but nothing graphical. I'm just informing so you don't get shocked.
And now, lets cry a bit! ^^
DIFFERENT LIVES
CHAPTER 5 – GOODBYES [BITTERSWEET ENDING].
~//~
"I. . . don't think. . . but we're so close. . ." Kai murmured.
"Still, do you think it's worth it?" Voltaire asked.
"I. . . I. . ." he started, but suddenly, he raised his head in such haste, it started everyone.
"Yes." he answered with certainty. "Anything is worth if it's for my father's wish to come true! Black Dranzer!"
And upon hearing her name, the mighty bitbeast answered her master's call and was immediately flying above them. Kai jumped unbelievably high for a human being and in no time, the teenager was on Black Dranzer's back once again.
"Oh, no!" Tala whispered.
But at that moment, a light was seen from the clone's fallen body, or better, from the pocket of its body. . . and before their eyes, Dranzer appeared in all her glory above them.
She looked down at her master, the clone, and gave a wild screech upon realizing that he was currently dead. The phoenix bitbeast went wild, screaming in such a loud voice, everyone under had to cover his or her ears. Even Kai, who was at the same height, had to cover his ears, for Black Dranzer had also started to give out the same horrible deafening yell, as if responding to it.
A few minutes later, not only the two phoenixes', but the clone's body as well was covered in fire, completely consumed by it.
And as if for revenge, the phoenixes' fire had also gone after Boris and the original Kai, burning them both.
"KAI!" Rei shouted.
Tala tried to go after his ex-future leader's body and rescue it from the flames, but his teammates had him in a secure grip around the waist.
"Don't, Tala! You will burn if you do!"
"Spencer's right, Tala! It's suicide! Besides, there is no way you can retrieve it back anyway!" Bryan tried to reason.
Ian gave the last word: "And we have lost him already. There's just no way to get Kai back!"
That stopped Tala. "No. . ." he whispered.
"We have to get out of here! The fire is going to reach us soon!" Kyoujyuu warned, his voice full of panic.
At the little boy's warning, they all turned around to find that both the phoenixes and the humans had already disappeared inside the flames.
They also saw that Voltaire was not moving, he was staring blankly at the fire.
"Voltaire-sama!" Ian shouted.
"Get out of there!" Bryan tried.
Voltaire just turned to look at them, a depressed look stamped on his face. "I just lost them both, my grandson and the other which I had come to appreciate so deeply. What's it worth living for?" the older Hiwatari asked, his voice so devoid of its usual strength it was pitiful.
"Then live FOR them!" Spencer said, as he neared the old man and placed Voltaire's arm around over his shoulders, Tala doing the same on the other side.
"That's right, or at least, live for us then! You had our lives molded to follow Kai, now that he's not here, we'll follow you then!" Tala reasoned too, his words somehow snapped the older man back to life and they all hurried through the corridors.
When they finally made it outside, putting a good distance between them and both the Abbey and BULSE, they watched as all was consumed by the flames, slowly and yet almost rhythmically, as if in goodbye dance.
"Kai. . ." different voices whispered as their eyes tried to block the scene form their minds. "No. . ."
"He was born from fire, he dies in fire. . . and because of it he will someday surely rise again. . ." Robert whispered.
"Or at least that's how the legend of a phoenix goes. . ." Johnny complemented his team captain's words.
"But he took with him everything which made harm, better yet, Dranzer and Black Dranzer took it away with them. . ."
"You know, Max, you're right! Kai will surely be satisfied with that!" Steve commented.
"Yeah, he'll arrive in hell with a satisfied smile!" Michael commented. "After all, fire IS his thing."
"Yeah. . ." Takao agreed. "It sure is. . ."
~//~
The Demolition Boys kept their captain's word, once everything was cleared; omitting the "unbelievable" parts of the story, of course; Voltaire resumed his legal beyblading-related business and had the team back into the World Championship.
Kai was reported burned in the fire that took place in the Balcov Abbey and everyone was quite surprised to see that so many people from all across the world had come to the funeral that had been held in his honor, paying their final respects to the stoic blader.
When the funeral was over and most of the crowd had gone, a small group of beybladers and an old man remained standing in front of the large stone, praying that the blader's "soul" had arrived safely wherever it was going to remain for the rest of eternity, remembering some of the moments they had shared.
With a final look, the BladeBreakers, whose captain was now Rei, Tala and Johnny walked away, ready to start rebuilding their lives without him, although it would take much time to heal their hearts.
Voltaire, the only one still there, kneeled in front of the grave, reading out loud, but to himself, the words carved in stone: "From fire we were born, by fire we die, and yet phoenixes are always beside us. When we arise once again, the world will be forever taken by our flames."
None of the fans that had come pay their last respects knew that the grave was meant for two teenagers and not only one, specifically for two "Kais". The words had a meaning, but only about 25 people knew it:
Someday, if Kai was to walk upon the Earth once again, he would not be alone: the phoenix was to accompany him for eternity, the pact sealed by the flames in which they had disappeared together, the same flames which would forever remain warming up his eternal eyes and his ethereal heart.

CHAPTER 5 – GOODBYES [BITTERSWEET ENDING].
A.N.: I know that was fast (and crappy), and I know I made a real drama out of it, especially with the "No. . ." thing, but. . . well. . . SORRY! ^^
I just couldn't avoid it, I really wanted to try and see/read/write what a very dramatic Beyblade (Kai) fic would "sound" like. . . ¬¬
Now all that's left is the happy ending, which should be posted with the first chapter of "Through Eternity", my 'new' BB fic. I'm just about finished: the epilogue is the only thing missing and editing the second and last chapters.
Expect a few oneshots sometime between now and May too (on Clamp Campus Detectives, Prince of Tennis, Beyblade, Mantantei Loki Ragnarok and Digimon Frontier). ¬¬
Flames, comments, mistakes, stuff? Please tell me!
