The mid-day sun was hidden by the tops of the oak trees. Kai walked slowly with half-open eyes. Not sure of where he's going, just that, he must be alone. It seemed that all of a sudden, all of the pain came back to him. Did something break within him? Or did something break out of the cage that he made to block it all away?
Voltaire. Just the thought of him still alive... Just the thought that that girl might be part of his evil plans... Just the thought that he was actually related...
Why did it have to be this way? Why? When he finally felt at peace with his past? Why? When he finally had friends? Why must Voltaire take everything away from him? WHY?
"Kai." A girl's voice reached his ears...no, not a girl, the girl.
Kai stopped but didn't looked up. Not wanting to...to...see those red triangles.
"Kai, my challenge still stands. Do you accept or not? I honestly don't have a lot of time."
Wordlessly, Kai reached behind him and pulled out his launcher. With the same silence, he took out Dranzer and attached it to the launcher. Kirei was somewhat surprised, but did the same.
"If you are truely sent here by Voltaire, I do not wish to fight you. You probably have no idea what kind of man he is, but judging by your face, you have already tasted his anger," said Kai.
"What I do is of no concern to you. You don't understand what I've been through. Sure, you may have the marks, but you don't have the pain that that I have. And because of that, I must have Dranzer. I have no other choice," Kirei replied.
"I won't allow you to take Dranzer."
"We'll see about that."
"Three! Two! One! Let it rip!"
"Go Dranzer!"
"Attack! Halcyon!"
The two beyblades circled each other on the grazzy forest floor. Then, both charged. They each attacked with such force that the impact sent both beyblades, and their blader, crashing back.
"Dranzer!"
Dranzer bounced off of a tree and went back on the attack.
"Halcyon, illuminate!"
Suddenly, Kirei's beyblade jumped up into the air and a burst of light surrounded the area. At that moment, Kai shielded his eyes, but it was too late. He could see nothing but whiteness. Then, he felt pain on both his arms; Dranzer was being attacked!
"No, Dranzer, get out of this place, go where the light is normal!"
Dranzer circled around Kai's feet and then, sped off in a direction. Kai followed Dranzer, and soon he could see again. Kirei and Halcyon ran after them, but suddenly, Kirei saw Dranzer at top speed. Before Kirei could do anything, her beyblade was on the defensive, trying its best to push Dranzer back.
"Halcyon, come on! I'm counting on you!"
Halcyon spun with a tree at its back and Dranzer pushing ever harder. With no choice, Halcyon sped up into the tree. Dranzer followed.
"Dranzer, inferno attack!"
Dranzer was suddenly smoldering as it chased Halcyon. Seeing no other way, Kirei made Halcyon jump back onto the ground.
Kai took a glance at the girl. She was truely an amazing beyblader, but then again, she was trained by the abbey.
"Halcyon! Arctic frost!"
Halcyon spun in place. Soon, a white breeze formed a tiny twister around it. Dranzer matched Halcyon's power by forming a fiery windtunnel around itself.
The two blades endured each other's elements and fought on. The ground that they spun apon was transformed from ice to fire, ice to fire, and again and again.
Kirei knew Halcyon was weakening with every hit. Better call it out now.
"Dranzer!"
Kai seemed to have read Kirei's mind. With a sparkle of red, the great phoenix spread its wings and loomed over Kirei.
"Halcyon!"
Kirei smiled at the sight of Dranzer. Finally, he called it out. At her call, a magnificent white griffin rose from the dark red beyblade. With the head of an eagle and the body of a lion, Halycon tilted its head and matched Dranzer's battle cry. Its piercing golden eyes glared at its opponent.
Kai stared in awe, but snapped out of it immediately.
"Dranzer, attack!" "Halcyon, don't hold back!"
The red phoenix sped toward Halcyon with outstretched talons. Halcyon charged as well. When the two bit-beasts clashed, a bright power burst illuminated the area. And suddenly, all the trees were flattened. Kirei felt the ground beneath her feet tremble and then, her eyes suddenly opened wide and her pupils contracted.
"Ahhh!"
Kai heard Kirei's cry and wondered what happened, but suddenly, the ground cracked and gave out. He was consumed by darkness.
There, what do you think? Hmm...I wonder what will happen now....
