Here's a note for you. Leon's bitbeast is named suchus; this comes from the full name Deinosuchus. This was a prehistoric crocodile that grew up to 15m in length and weighed up to 2 tonnes. It was big enough to eat dinosaurs that got too close! Leon's daggers represent the teeth of this bitbeast, and what they can do to their prey!

Tadashi's bitbeast Phagus comes from the name Ophiophagus hannah. This is the Latin name for the King cobra, which is one of the largest poisonous snakes (can look into a mans eyes when it rears up, and its head is the size of a mans hand) in the world, as well as one of the most poisonous snakes. Tadashi's whips represent the snakes shape and venomous bite.

I had to do some serious research for this, so I hope you enjoy it!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kai stared as the twins bitbeasts emerged in rays of green and yellow. Tadashi's bitbeast reared out of her blade in a long, slithering line. The snake beast coiled and stretched at the freedom from its beyblade. Its scales were black with yellow cross bars all down its back, the tail ended in white armour. The underside of the head and neck were also yellow. Kai gasped slightly as Phagus spread her hood. Two eyes stared back at Kai, black, yellow and white clashed angrily at him. Armour again lined the top of the head, down and across the hood, ending at the base of the hood. She was an impressive site.

Leon's was no less impressive. The huge crocodile regarded Kai and the flaming Dranzer with a lazy reptilian stare. The beige/brown leather hide gleamed in the light from where it had emerged. Its body was coated in green armour plates. They coated the head, leaving the eyes, mouth and underside exposed. The plates ran down the huge back, branching out slightly to cover part of each of the four limbs. The armour ran down to the end of the tail, ending in a very fine point. Then Suchus opened his immense jaws. Kai couldn't help but feel slightly apprehensive at the huge arrangement of teeth. Dagger sharp and gleaming wickedly at Kai, the teeth sat in a mouth seemingly grinning to Kai.

From deep in the throat of the beast, a roar challenged Dranzer. Now Kai was ready, he would not pass down the challenge. He felt Dranzer agree, ready to battle. Good, Kai needed the bond he shared with Dranzer to be stronger then ever. Now was the time to see what the pair of them could do together. Kai mentally took that back, there were three of them in this.

Tadashi yelled at Phagus to go in for the attack, introductions were over, and she was out to destroy Dranzer. Her blade collided with Kai's own. Phagus attacked Dranzer, coiling round Dranzer's abdomen and legs, weighting the phoenix down. The huge cobra looked down at Kai before opening her jaws wide and plunging her needle sharp teeth into Dranzer's wing, near the joint. Dranzer cried out, Kai's own voice mingling into it as he also felt needles piercing his skin, cold sweeping across his shoulder; he hated needles more then almost anything. He had to take the phoenixes pain. It was his turn to be there for Dranzer.

Tadashi laughed triumphantly. Maniacal glee danced behind her eyes, what the hell was she getting from this? Kai was sickened by the way she loved to hear screams, how Leon loved to see pain in his victim's eyes. What had Biovolt made? Whatever they had become, Kai would end it!

He yelled at Dranzer to attack Phagus. The red bird plummeted to the ground, landing so that the snake took the force of the impact. The snake's body uncoiled from Dranzer's, and the phoenix took flight again, screeching a challenge at Suchus. The crocodile answered back. It was a good thing that there was so much space in the room. The two collided with a force that shook the building. Kai unshielded his eyes from the blinding flash caused from the collision. He looked up to see Dranzer struggling against Suchus's jaws, one bright wing encased in the teeth of the monstrous reptile. Kai cried out a second time as pain ripped up his arm.

Phagus took the opportunity to strike again. Leaping up, hood extended in a threat, Phagus bit dip into Dranzer's neck. The snake wrapped round the phoenix's other wing and chest, squeezing tightly. Kai and Dranzer screamed again. The pain was unbearable. Kai fell to his knees, red feathers falling around him. he screwed up his face in pain and hopelessness. He couldn't let it end this way, he had to win. He looked into the dish, watching as the green and black blade forcing his own blue blade across the dish in a constant attack. Tadashi's hounded the other side again and again in a repeated attack from the other side. They were not going to let him leave the dish; they were going to destroy him in the middle.

How could it change? He could hear Dranzer calling out to him, could feel the phoenix pull at his heart. How could he help him? he watched as more feathers fell like red rain around him, no where else, just to fall round him. they were the same colour as Tori's hair had been. That bright, vibrant red. He looked up to find his eyes drawn to Dranzer's own. He never realised it before, but Dranzer's eyes were the same blue as Tori's own had been.

Something stirred deep inside the two. It flowed hot through their cold veins. Destroying the chilling venom implanted there. Destroying the chilling hole left from Kai's past. Kai got up slowly, his head lowered, his left arm sagging down, pulling at his shoulder. He could hear the mocking laughter of the twins as they tasted false victory. Kai's head came up to glare at them in turn. Tadashi stopped laughing and stepped back, her face confused. Leon gasped at the sight that met his eyes.

Kai's own eyes burned with fire. They glowed red. Crimson light seemed to come from somewhere deep in Kai's eyes, and the determination in them was unstoppable. Kai lifted his head high as he bellowed Dranzer's name. The phoenix replied with the same force of emotion. A flash seemed to come from the both of them, the light penetrating even the darkest corner of the room. Kai's chest heaved as he breathed in the sweet taste of a new dawn. A new dawn in his life.

The flash faded to reveal Kai standing upright and tall as fire seemed to play across his skin. He looked down at his own hands, the power he had felt just under his fingertips, always evading him had now been released. And it was all his. The twins looked up from the scene to see their own bitbeasts flung away from Dranzer. The phoenix burned more brightly then before. Feathers gleamed with a life of their own. Dranzer had never looked so good.

"Its time to end this! You two will never beat us, NEVER! No matter what you try, we will always prevail. I am no longer the cowering slave for Biovolt; I will destroy everything that Voltaire and Boris created. I WILL DESTROY YOU! DRANZER GO!!!!!!!" screamed Kai. The fire around him sprung up roaring to reach the tall ceiling.

Dranzer screamed in return and burst into flame as the phoenix spiralled down to the reptiles that had caused so much pain. The blade followed in a spinning furnace, colliding with the other two beyblades. Phagus and Suchus roared and hissed as their beyblades were crashed into, the force breaking apart parts from the structures. Tadashi and Leon stared, shocked as their bitbeasts returned to their bitchips in the stationary and broken up beyblades.

They picked them up, looking back up to see Kai watching them, fury keeping the fire around him lit. they panicked as a piece of the ceiling timber fell into the dish. All three looked up past a victorious Dranzer to see flames consuming the wooden structure. The fire was spreading rapidly in the dry conditions, the structure offering no resistance. Dranzer quickly returned to the waiting beyblade, urgency to get out replaced the fury in Kai, the blade returning to Kai hand, he placed it in his pocket. The fire's around him died out but the fire on the building still raged and consumed. It was becoming almost unbearable hot.

Seeing the chance, Leon grabbed his sister to run past Kai to the stairs. Surprised, Kai went to follow, only to be stopped ad the pair blocked the stairway.

"We will win Kai, you will be destroyed her!" yelled Leon, he wanted this last laugh desperately.

"Sorry Kai" said Tadashi; "things could have been different if you'd just said yes and joined with us, we could have had something" said Tadashi, quieter then her brother. She actually sounded like she regretted something.

Leon reached out to kick a supporting beam, running back and legging it down the stairs with Tadashi trailing behind him. Kai went to follow, and leapt back, landing painfully on his side as part of the burning roof fell to block the staircase. Kai cursed as the room filled with smoke, despite the large holes forming in the ceiling.

He got up, cursing again as the pain came back full force now that his anger was being replaced with fear. He looked round the darkened and smoke filled room, his throat and lungs filling with the foul tasting black smoke. He choked on it. It also burned his eyes, causing them to well up and tears to fall. Through his bleary vision, he saw one of the windows right in front of him, the fire either side leaving him an increasingly smaller path.

He ran towards it, fear driving him, giving him the strength he needed to escape the inferno. He could feel the flames reaching out to try and pull him in, to burn him. he gathered himself up, crossing his arms against his face to protect it from the shattering glass as he leapt through the dirty and smudged window, his knees tucked up slightly as he sailed through.

He fell towards the ground, almost bouncing as he hit and rolled on the ground. He stopped, lying on his back. He stared at the thunderous looking clouds that had formed in the dusky sky. They were dark blue and moody, grey lining the edges. His lungs burned for air he couldn't seem to breathe in fast enough. He body ached and cried out in pain. He closed his eyes just as drops of rain fell, landing on his body. Cooling the fiery touch of his skin. Kai laid there, his ears not hearing the screams, explosions, and roar of the fire as it ate away stubbornly in the rain. He could feel himself slipping into darkness, and he welcomed it. Release at last.

He was gone.
