"Hyper Victory Tornado!"
"Vulcan Power Claw!"
"Heavy Viper Wall!"
Suddenly, the air was filled with roars and ear shattering screams. Dragoon's tornado rounded all the other beyblades together. Draciel's viper wall made it airtight and not escapable. And then, Drigger roared and with hiw Vulcan Power Claw, shattered the other beyblades. One by one, the kid beybladers all fell on the ground, their bodies unable to take much more.
"Tyson? Rei? Max? How did you guys..."
"This kid here led us in circles, but when we heard you scream, we came as fast as we could," Tyson said, and pushed a boy about 13 in front of him. The boy was dressed like the others, but his eyes weren't covered by a white piece of metal and there were blue triangles on his cheeks.
"What's with him?" Kai asked.
"We don't know, he just came one day and asked for Dragoon. He said you and Queauri were dead, so I gave him the beating of his life, and he swore to take us to this abbey of yours, but instead, he led us in this stupid forest and we walked for miles, in circles!" Tyson answered.
"But now we see that you're ok," Max said, smiling.
Kai looked at the ground, "Yeah, I'm fine."
"Were is Queauri?" Rei asked.
Kai stood up without answering. "Come on Dranzer, we've got unfinished business."
Dranzer answered by screeching and followed Kai.
"Stop right there, Kai Hiwatari!"
Voltaire held a gun in his hand, slowly backing up. His voice trembled a bit, and his eyes had a crazy look in them.
"Huh," Kai smiled, his eyes glowing with a strange energy.
"Don't come any closer! I'm warning you!"
Behind his back, he pressed another button, and slowly, with moans and groans, the little kids all got to their feet.
"This is madness, you're all in no shape to battle!" Max said.
Not hearing Max's plea, the little kids all picked up their beyblades and launched. Some fell again while launching, some started coughing really bad as they tried to summon their own bit-beasts. Some held their heads up, facing the sky, as blood-like tears streamed down their faces.
"This is wrong!" Rei shook his head, "This is just wrong! We can't fight against them!"
Relentlessly, the kids picked themselves up and surrounded the three Bladebreakers. Kira took the lead and led another group of kids toward Kai. Delfin spun weakly in front of her.
"Yes, come my children!" Voltaire laughed.
Halcyon made a couple of confused chirps as he landed in front of Kira. Kira walked forward as if she didn't see the griffin. Halcyon stumped on the ground and threw his head back and force.
"You must protect Kai and my sister..."
Halycon nudged Kai gently, flapping his wings fretfully. A mournful sound came out of Halycon's beaks.
"Attack, Delfin," Kira said weakly.
"Dranzer, evade."
Dranzer flew upwards just as Delfin came close. Somehow, the dolphin bit-beast lost its ferocity and was much slower.
Kira fell to the ground as another kid took her place and attacked Kai.
"Get up, Kira, attack him all at once!" Voltaire commanded.
Kira obeyed and stood up on shaky legs.
"Stop this!" Kai turned around and faced Voltaire. "You're out of your mind! You're crazy!"
Voltaire laughed, "Am I, Kai? Am I crazy enough to pull this trigger?"
"Then do it! Do it already!" Kai yelled and opened his arms, his eyes glaring into the very face of death. "Come on! Shoot!"
Dranzer screeched and screeched, red feathers falling all around Kai.
"What are you doing?" Tyson's voice came from behind him.
"Kai!" Max shouted.
"It's not worth it, Kai!" Rei yelled.
"Fine! If I can't have Dranzer!" Voltaire screamed, and shot. Three times, he shot. First landed on the ground beside Kai's foot. Second whizzed by beside Kai's ear. The third...
Halcyon screeched the most painful sound he could muster. Within his voice, there echoed the voice of a girl, screaming out the name of her beloved sister.
"Midori!"
The force of the shot sent Midori crashing back into Kai. Her ocean-colored hair floated up beside her as the white metal that covered her eyes cracked, and broke.
"No, not you," Kai whispered. His purple eyes quivered in disbelief.
Halcyon cried and cried, wind surrounded his body and frozen arrow-like feathers flew out in all directions He lifted his wings and dove down, crashing into what's left of the abbey. His golden eyes glared at the crazy old man. As he dove down, the wind lifted up Voltaire's cloak, and, where his left eye should have been, there was only a white orb. His face was black and horrified as he screamed his last scream. The snow white face of a griffin was the last thing he ever saw...
The dark red beyblade finally stopped spinning. Scattered around it, snow white feathers...
The white metal broke and fell to the ground. The kids opened their eyes for the first time and saw the light of the sun, slowly coming back. Tired, they all fell to the ground and fell asleep.
Tyson, Rei, and Max stood behind Kai.
"Why? How did you break free?" Kai asked, as softly as he could.
Midori opened her eyes a little, and lifted up her hand.
"My sister," she whispered, and closed her eyes again.
Suddenly, the shattering of glass broke the silence. Kai lifted his head and saw, way up there in the sky...
"Queauri."
He laid Midori gently on the ground and ran toward the shattered glass cage. His heart trembled as he saw Queauri's motionless body falling down. Could it be? He's never been so afraid.
Terminal velocity sent him smashing back into a tree as he caught her.
"Queauri?" He took her shoulders and shook gently. "Wake up, Queauri." He bent down close to her face and held his breath. She's breathing! Faintly, but surely.
Suddenly overcome by an unfamiliar emotion, he took her in his arms and embraced her tightly.
"You're alive...you are alive..."
Well...couldn't let her die now could we? I think Kai's suffered enough in his life. Comments, reviews? I mean honestly, who thought she was dead? Final chapter coming soon.
