Voltaire shot a sly glance at Queauri, who still sat on the ground fighting the pain in both her arms.
"You're punishment isn't finished yet, you ungrateful brat, but I'll still thank you for bringing my grandson and I together, not to mention both Dranzer, and the legendary Beast of Heart!" He chuckled, thinking about how good his luck was.
"Leave her out of this and stop calling me your grandson. To me, my grandfather died the moment these blue triangles got put on my face, and I will never forget that," Kai said.
"Huh. That's fine with me, but I should warn you, Kai Hiwatari, it's not a good idea to get on my bad side," Voltaire spat on the ground.
He took out a little remote control thing from his pocket and pressed a button. Almost instantly, Kira stood up and walked to her master's side.
"No, Midori!" Queauri tried to stand up, but couldn't.
"Shut up!" Voltaire screamed, and suddenly, the ground below Queauri opened up and she fell through.
"Queauri!" Kai ran over and stared into the bottomless hole. Voltaire began to laugh again, totally amused.
"Don't worry, Kai, she's right there," Voltaire said and pointed behind him. There, a mechanical arm slowly lifted up a glass cage. Queauri sat in the middle, helpless to do anything.
She stared into Kai's eyes and mouthed the words "Save my sister, please."
Suddenly, Kai plunged toward Voltaire and tried to grab the remote control, but Kira stood in his way. She launched the green beyblade and called out Delfin. Kai picked up Dranzer, who, along with Halcyon, stopped spinning a minute ago.
"Go, Dranzer!"
Dranzer launched towards Delfin, but Delfin avoided every hit, zigzagging around Dranzer. However, just as it passed Dranzer, the phoenix turned its head sharply and caught Delfin tail. Delfin screamed, then, it twisted its body and gave Dranzer a major headbutt. Dranzer screeched and let go of Delfin's tail.
"See Kai? You're being beaten by a 12 year old girl. That's what you get for leaving the abbey and destroying my face!" Voltaire said, and laughed.
"We'll see," Kai muttered under his breath, "Dranzer, Fry that fish!"
Dranzer flew up high into the sky, its body ablaze, and its power immense. Then, he dove down, fire smoldering from every single feather.
Voltaire, seeing the danger of his situation, turned around and ran back into the shelter of the fallen underground abbey. Frantically, he pressed another button. Suddenly, the ground trembled and many holes started to appear out of nowhere. Slowly, more and more kids rose from the ground, dressed in the same way Kira was. They all took out their launcher and launched their blades. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, all of the beyblades launched and flew at Dranzer.
Kai looked around and saw that he was completely surrounded. Dranzer battled gallantly, but its strength was failing.
"Don't give up, Dranzer, we're in this 'till the end!"
Dranzer screeched and agreed. Kai and Dranzer managed to push back ten beyblades, but another ten took their places. Dranzer spread its wings and its fire burned brighter, but the other beyblades kept on coming nonstop.
"Kai!" Queauri whispered, knowing that he couldn't hear her. She watched as her sister took the lead and guided all the other kids. Again and again, Delfin smacked into Dranzer. Again and again, Dranzer screeched and did its best to fight back.
Suddenly, Kai's knees crushed to the ground as he withstood the pain silently. Scratches and cuts appeared as if out of no where, and slowly, blood began to trickle down. His breathing became hoarse and his heart raced under the pressure of the battle.
"NO! Kai!" Queauri screamed and pounded on the glass in front of her. "Kai!"
Tears fell from Queauri's eyes and, as if on cue, a bright light soared into the sky. An eagle's cry sounded and Halcyon formed. Like a mad beast, it clawed its way beside Dranzer and screeched again. With its golden eyes opened wide and its fur standing on the end, it challenged them all.
"What? How did that happen?" Voltaire exclaimed. He turned and stared at Queauri, "It's that girl. Her emotions are too dangerous." He fumbled with his remote control and pressed another button.
Queauri stepped back as some sort of gas started to fill her glass prison. She covered her mouth and held her breathe. Halcyon screeched and flew towards her. Knocking the cage with its head, it cried furiously. The cage rocked back and forth, but refused to crack. Seeing that knocking wasn't working, Halcyon cried helplessly as it beat its beak on the glass.
Queauri smiled slightly at her bit-beast. "Kill Voltaire, Halcyon, you must protect Kai and my sister..." She closed her eyes as a last tear rolled down her cheek. Halcyon beat its wings beside its body and screeched. Its pupils contracted and extracted in rage. Turning its head, it plunged back into battle, with Queauri's last words etched into its mind.
Kai watched Halcyon and felt his eyes get heavy. His vision blurred as he felt his heart shatter.
"Que-au-riiii!"
He screamed as true tears of sorrow spilled from his eyes, and his voice was multiplied by the deep-rooted animal sounds of Halcyon and Dranzer.
Without emotion, the other kids didn't even stop to look. Their beyblades attacked and faced Halcyon and Dranzer forty to one. Dranzer burned up like a fireball with nothing but its eyes still visible. However, even with Kai's pain merged with Dranzer's flames, forty was still overwhelming. Halcyon cried as he pushed forward with everything that he has, but alone, he wouldn't be able to take much more.
Voltaire laughed with his hands raised to the sky. "This battle is as good as mine! Mine! And this little army I've created with my own burnt hands shall take over the world! And I will be on top of it all! I will rule the world!"
Suddenly, a dragon roared as it spread its claws. "Dragoon! Tear them apart!"
There we go, chapter 11 is finished. What do you think? A bit surprised or not? Well, the battle isn't over yet...Please review and tell me what you think so far. =D
