Black Dranzer attacked first, the dark blue beyblade clashing with Tyson's own pale one. Quick to retaliate, the two beyblades spin near the middle of the dish, circling and almost seeming to take turns attacking.
Tyson hated to admit it, but Black Dranzer had the upper hand. Using Kai's extensive knowledge of Tyson's own weaknesses, his beyblade would get trashed if he didn't do something. With that in mind, Tyson called out Dragoon, and with a flash the massive dragon loomed up in front of them, releasing a roar that seemed to make the arena shake.
The possessed one responded immediately, the dark eyes glowing black for a moment before, out of the empty bitchip, rose Black Dranzer in its own form. It spread its wings and let out a deafening screech, meeting Dragoon's challenge.
In retaliation, dragoon lunged at Black Dranzer, and the two fought in the air as their beyblades clashed below.
Tyson's eyes rested on the two bitbeasts, but the other's were watching Kai, or what was his body at least.
It hadn't moved, scarcely done so much as blinked, since Black Dranzer came out into its physical form. The eyes were still the same pitch black. Couldn't Kai reclaim control this time?
"Dragoon!" Tyson's cry came just a moment before the sad bitbeast crashed into the ground from the force of Black Dranzer's blow, the beyblade landing with a crash next to the dragon.
A screech of triumph from the dark phoenix, and then the bitchip in Tyson's blade began to glow. Tyson's heart grew cold as he remember what that had meant all through the world cup...
Then, all at once, a flash of red from behind them, and another bitbeast lunged at Black Dranzer, letting out its own cry. The two bitbeasts grappled in midair with one another, and the BladeBreaker's stared in shock, one word coming into their minds; 'Dranzer...?'
For while, Kai didn't move, just sat there in the darkness and listened to the familiar sound. "What's going on?" He finally brought himself to ask, then stayed silent again, as if afraid his voice had broken whatever spell allowed him to hear the sound of beyblades battling.
The noise continued, along with other noises that were too blurred to identify, it were as if he were listening through water. Then, another sound Kai could identify came through- Dranzer's own battlecry.
His eyes widened as he did the mental equilivant of sitting up straight, his head turning around and searched the darkness rapidly. Almost in desperation, he called Dranzer's name. The red flash in his chest that accompanied it made the shadows cringe back for the split second it existed.
Kai was struggling again. The black phoenix glared angrily at its counterpart. Kai was struggling again, because of Dranzer. And Black Dranzer didn't think that it was possible to keep control and destroy its opponent at the same time...
A tackle that sent Black Dranzer crashing into the trees proved the point, and with a few, rapid decisions, control was relinquished, settling for claimed all the energy and all the strength in the body for its fight.
The tentacles of darkness that bound him lessened their grip, retreating into the darkness. The darkness faded into nothing in a instant, and Kai blinked a few times as his vision was restored. A beyblade dish? His friends- when did he stop thinking of them only as teammates?- called his name, and his eyes focused on them for a moment before a suddenly burst of pain made him choke.
The BladeBreaker's stared up at the phoenixes as they fought, before a slight choking made their heads snap around.
Kai's eyes flashed to red, and stayed that way.
"Kai!" His face turned to them for a moment, looking confused. But, before anything else could happen, Kai suddenly let out a strangled sound, and black energy flashed across his body like electricity, before disappearing.
Up above their heads, the same energy crackled around Black Dranzer as the bitbeast absorbed it. Dranzer's eyes flashed in rage, and the fight carried on.
More energy crackled around Kai, making him grit his teeth in pain. As the energy dispersed, a feeling of pure exhaustion- something he hadn't felt since the 'chip incident'- overtook him, and his couldn't stop himself falling to his knees, hands helping to hold his up as he tried to get his breath back, eyes wide from shock and pain.
"Kai!" His teammates surrounded him, Tyson and Ray helping to hold him up as Max and Kenny knelt in front of him, "Kai, are you okay?"
Kai's eyes focused on them, and he opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off as energy once again crackled against his skin. His knuckles turned white as he clutched his scalp, trying to relieve the pressure that was growing inside of him.
It was all Kai could do to not scream.
