I'm not saying I don't trust you, and I'm not saying I do. But I don't.
Hot Shots: Part Deux!
So here we are. Myself and Dranzer, the red Phoenix, trapped inside my body.
The funny thing was, we were both in control of the body, and unfortunately it was impossible for us both to move with it. One of us had to be in control.
My phoenix wants us to talk, about Black Dranzer.
/What do you expect me to say?/ I asked my Phoenix, watching his brilliant glow inside this soul space.
/Why? Why did you go to that thing?!/ Dranzer yelled, angry and his flames showed it.
/Because of power!/ I yelled back, neither of us bothered with the body, which looked to people like it was sleeping; /You know what my grandfather was like! You know my father! You know that power was drummed into my head for a good number of years!/
Dranzer became silent, and then spoke, sounding calm; /So it was because Black Dranzer was more powerful?/
/No, it was perfect. And I wanted to become a perfect blader to use it./ I replied, I was a power manic but, I also wanted perfection in my job. I had to be perfect.
/So you used it to try to be perfect?/ Dranzer asked, as if understanding.
/Yes, I wanted to be perfect. Power and perfection were what I wanted, and Black Dranzer was the key./ I told him, my feelings at the time were very much excitement, and wonder. I had only used Black Dranzer once, and I ended up forgetting everything about the abbey.
/What were you going to do with me?/ Dranzer asked me; /You gave me to Tyson, why was that?/
/I planned on keeping you........ I gave you to Tyson because........ He's the only person that I knew who could be worthy of your power./ I said honestly.
/Tyson? That neon wearing.............. You thought he was worthy of me?!/ Dranzer yelled at me.
/Yes, and you know why, you just don't like to admit it. Tyson is better than us, he's number one, and we're right behind him./ I told my red phoenix, trying to calm him down.
I wish I had my body back............ If only Max could talk to Dranzer, but this is my mess.
/Hum......... I still want to control this body, I would like some more time to see how you human's live,/ Dranzer informed me.
I could only sigh; /Fine, three days. Then I want my body back. In the same condition it went out in./
Dranzer then left, taking full control of the body, while I went back to my soul place, to look around the many rooms I had.
/Its just three days/ I told myself, walking into the room.
XOXOXOXOXOX
Max was standing outside, by a bey stadium, waiting on someone. The person came running up to him, panting with exhaustion, as if he doesn't normally run often. If ever.
"Sorry I'm late Max.........." The boy had big glasses, and brown hair.
"Its okay Chief," Max said with a smile; "I just needed to talk to you,"
"About Kai?" Chief asked as they sat on a wooden bench nearby.
"Yea........" Max said and sighed.
"I know about your relationship, so you don't have to lie," Chief told him, and the blonde haired boy looked surprised; "Just the casual hint you and Kai give to each other. Plus Kai wasn't mad when you missed training, he still snapped at you, but not as much as he did the others. Though when Rei pointed it out I just told him it was because you had a real excuse, working at your dad's shop,"
"Thanks for covering for us," Max said, sounding grateful.
"But what's wrong? I figured you two were getting on fine, has the attack changed that?" Chief asked, trying to be as sensitive as he could.
"Well, you know how Dranzer is apart of Kai?" Max asked Chief, who nodded; "I think Dranzer is in control of Kai,"
"How can you tell?" Chief asked the blonde haired boy.
"A few things here and there, overall he act's like Kai, but there are hints that point out that he's not Kai. You know?" Max asked Kenny, who was looking at Dizzi.
"This could be a problem," Dizzi told them both.
"What do you mean?" Kenny asked his bit beast.
"Well, I did say this was unheard of. So we have no idea what would happen if a bit beast stays inside a person for a long period of time. Dranzer is a powerful bit beast, and with all that power in Kai's body.............." Dizzi trailed off, allowing Max and Kenny to come to there own conclusions.
"So, what can I do?" Max asked her.
"Well, you could try to coax Dranzer back into his bit. He maybe more taken with you, because Kai is," Dizzi suggested.
"That would mean admitting that I know it's not really Kai," Max pointed out, and Kenny nodded.
"It's for the best Max. Tell Dranzer you know it's him, point out the flaws of his acting, and then show him the world. Later try to see if he would let you speak to Kai, it might help to have Kai aware of your plan," Kenny explained, and Max nodded.
XOXOXOXOXO
Dranzer was sitting on a branch, in the park when Max came up to him.
/Remember Max, to be honest./ The blonde haired boy reminded himself.
"Something wrong Max?" Dranzer asked him, but in Kai's voice.
"Kai, can we......... talk in private?" Max requested, and Dranzer nodded.
They walked to the old warehouse that Kai used to train in with the Blade Sharks.
"Well?" Dranzer sat on an old crate.
"Kai....... I know its not you, I know it's Dranzer that I am talking to," Max started, but paused to see how Dranzer looked, which was a blank; "A few things gave me clues that it wasn't Kai. And I understand why you wouldn't want anyone to know that Kai wasn't in control of his body, but me and Kai.......... We're close, and I could tell it wasn't him............."
"So......... Now what? I do not plan to leave this body just yet," Dranzer said, forgetting to use Kai's voice, and used his own.
"I know that, but I figured that you would need someone to show you around, point out things, answer your questions," Max told him, and Dranzer began to realise why Kai cared for the boy.
"I take it you wish to talk to Kai?" Dranzer asked the blue eyed boy.
"If you don't mind," Max said, and Dranzer nodded, giving power over to Kai, who looked slightly dazed at being in control of his own body so quickly.
"Maxie?" Kai said, surprised.
"Hey Kai," Max said with a smile; "I know its Dranzer that's in control, but..........."
"I've blocked him out. What's the problem?" Kai asked the blonde haired boy.
"Kai, you have to fight in a bey battle. Kenny and Dizzi came up with a plan to bring Dranzer back into his own bit..................."
"Dranzer and I have an agreement Max. Three days Dranzer will be in control of my body, then all the power comes back to me," Kai told the boy, stroking his hair.
"Kai, if Dranzer stays inside of you........... His power is too much for your body............. I don't want.........." Max never finished, for Kai suddenly kissed him.
"Max, trust me........ If Dranzer is still in control of my body............. On the third day, at sun set, have Tyson bey battle me. Dranzer will have to leave my body then......... You and Rei both attack Dranzer, if need be, attack me too, Dranzer may go back to his bit. Do as much damage as possible," Kai whispered into Max's ear, and saw how upset Max looked; "We have to do this,"
"I know........." Max whispered back, and felt Kai's lips on his cheek.
"Don't try anything with Dranzer," Kai whispered, and then backed away from Max.
"Well?" Dranzer said, looking at Max, who realised that Kai had gone.
"Well, where do you want to go? Max asked the red phoenix, knowing that he had to contact Kenny and the others about Kai's plan.
