The Last Scene of Struggling

Chapter six

We Are in This Together Now

Thanks everybody!

I have twenty-four reviews, so I decided to be nice and update early then I originally planned.

DISCLAMER: I don't know Beyblade, but I own a blue crayon that reminds me of Kai's hair

ON WITH THE STORY

Numbness.

Complete numbness.

That was all I felt. I was immobile. could not move a muscle in my body.

Black.

That was all I was could see.

Was Delaney right?

Was that spirit right?

Or was this my brain playing a cruel joke on me.

Was Tyson really capable of dieing in the final battle?

Was I going to lose him?

No I would not believe that!

There is no way Tyson could die. Right?

Hollow.

I felt so hollow inside.

My body would not believe Tyson could die.

He can't!

I screamed in my mind, it brought me back to the present.

I looked at Tyson.

There was no tenseness in his body. No nervous movement. Not nothing. Only calm.

How can he so calm when he finds out he could die in the final battle!

How could he not look like he cares!

But suddenly I realized, why it never thought of it before. Why Tyson dieing never hit my mind before. I mean this is a battle. This is war. Everybody could..die…

I softly touched his shoulder. He turned and looked he straight in the face. His face was peaceful calm. Not fearful like it should have been.

"I knew that I could die in this battle. I just don't want you to get hurt. I will easily die. If I know you Hilary, will go on living." Tyson spoke with such truth in his eyes I could only nod my head. He spoke with such kind words. Now something must really be wrong with Tyson. Since when have he been so so…earnest. I felt this small happiness cover over, the side till sore about the thought that Tyson could die so soon..

He turned back to the glowing spirits in front of us.

"Continue" he said to Delaney. He nod once and continued.

"Tyson you must be able to control your heart, mind, spirit, and your very being. You must understand this so when the final battle comes. You must go into this battle with the right state of mind…or if will become your down fall."

How could Tyson understand that? How could he do that before the battle by himself? How is that even possible? Tyson is not the loner, he can not figure this a question the hard by himself.

"You should understand, that you will become one with the Dragoon, when this happens."

He must have noticed me and Tyson confused looks.

"Don't worry you will understand with time."

Tahlia gave us a sly smile. "do not tell anybody this, until Mea says so."

Me and Tyson eyes widen in shock. How did she know about Mea!?!?

"Do not worry little Tyson and Hilary, Mea will explain in due time." Thalia stood up, Delaney did as well.

"Now it is time for you both to go." she pointed to a doorway to her right that suddenly appeared there.

I suddenly didn't want to leave. These two left me more confused than when I went in there with Tyson.

I got up and stood in front of them.

"Even though I just met you two, I am pleased about it. I will not forget you Tahlia and Delaney I hope you rest in peace. And watch over us till the end of our days." a tear fell from eye. I don't know why I felt so attached to them in a short period o time.

"we will miss you." Tahlia said. Delaney gave a classic Tyson-like smile.

Tyson though his arm over my shoulder. "Miss ya! Bye!" he yelled as he pulled me towards the exit.

We began to run when we was the light from outside. We turned back around and realized the large dome was gone.

Tuned to each other and gave a weird glaze the did-you-see-that-too-good-least-we-are-both-crazy look.

So we nearly jumped at of our skin when we heard a loud car horn.

We turned to noise to a weird sight.

Mea was hanging out the passenger side window waving at us.

And Tala was driving. And what was even weirder was he was wearing a short sleeve shirt, with jeans.

You could see the smiling faces of the other boys in the back windows.

Tala pulled up to where we were standing. Mea said something to him. But I could not hear. He only continued to look blankly out the window.

She came out the door and pushed us in the trailer.

"Wow you guys look a mess!" she looked up and down at our sandy clothes, and dirty sandy hair. The other boys came in the area to greet us.

"I have a great idea!" Mea beamed and everybody stopped talking to listen.

"let's have a BBQ!"

A loud sound of yeahs were heard.

NEXT SCENE

All of us stood on front a long table that Mea had Kai pull out of the trailer. I don't know how Mea was able to get Kai to do that, but a lot a yelling had accorded.

I was even more confused on how Mea even got Tala to come to the BBQ. That was completely over my head. That boy was a mystery never to be solved to me. But he was at the other table that held the uncooked foods ready to be cooked. He just blankly stared at the food. And the only word I could think of was freaky.

Mea has on the famous 'love the cook' shirt in bright pink.

Mea stopped talking to the boys and ran in the trailer at few feet away. Saying something about 'we need more butter.'

We continued on. Tyson eating like a pig. Max and Ray trying to slow him down. Kai trying to ignore us but falling. It was all fun and games till we heard 'click, click' sound.

We all turned to Tala after we heard the modulation.

He had a gun.

Aimed at us.

Gasps of shock and surprise flowed over us. But no one dared move. No one.

We all knew he would kill us if we did.

Nobody spoke.

"I have my orders to kill you all." he said. His face ever emotionless. I know for a fact he will feel no remorse if he killed us.

I heard movement from behind me and realized Mea had came back from inside, and had ran in front of us. Her arms spread out.

Now the gun was aimed at her.

"Mea I was not ordered to kill you. But if I have to I will" his voice never changing.

"Are you scared Tala? Are you scared I was going to kill you?" Mea spoke but you could feel the anger off of her.

He didn't say anything.

"If I have to die..to stop you from killing them so be it. I would not live to see their lives taken away." she walked even more in front of us.

Tyson was reaching over the table to touch Mea's shoulder.

"do not touch me!" she screamed without looking at him. He quickly jumped back.

"Tala if I, or we were going to kill you. I would done it by now. Why must you be scared?" her voice was getting angrier.

Her hand balled into fists.

"I am not scared." his stayed the same it didn't even seem like he spoke.

"I know you are a machine Tala. But you are all so a living being. And you have free will. Do you actually want to stand there and kill everybody here."

He didn't say anything.

"Please kill me instead." mea dropped her out stranged arms, and stood up straighter.

We all moved followed but she signaled no with her head.

Tala's face changed then, a look of surprised crossed it, then confusion. His aim pointed down till he realized it and pointed it up again.

"Why?"

"Tala these are my friends…and the only hope this world this has to offer. So I would do anything for them." A smile came over her face. "I would do anything for you as well."

His whole expression changed then. He even backed up then. His arm holding the gun shacked a little. But he till held aim.

"You will not harm them." tears were coming down her face.

"and I will not harm you.." she said as she ran and jumped at Tala. She was hugging him. Her face was buried in his left shoulder, and her arms were wrapped are his stomach. Her body was shacking from sobs. Tala 's eyes were as wide as plates. He placed the hand not holding the gun on Mea's back.

"I trust your word." was all he needed to say as he crushed the gun with his bare hand.

END FOR NOW
