~~Chapter# 19 Fire and Ice~~

"What? Are you crazy?!" Tyson shouted. He couldn't believe what he just heard.

"Let me battle him." Laura said again in a stern voice.

The rest of the Bladebreakers gathered around.

"Martin never used to be like this. I think that maybe, just maybe, I might be able to... I don't know.. Save him." Laura pleaded.

The Bladebreakers looked at each other.

"You really want to save him. Don't you?" Max asked.

Laura looked each of the Bladebreakers in the eye.

"Yes." She said.

"Okay then." Pauline said.

The others nodded.. Well, except for Tyson, who didn't like the idea of being kicked out of his own match.

He looked at the others. They looked like they really wanted Laura to fight for them.

That's not fair.

'It's time to take action.' Tyson thought.

::GO GO!!! Show them chat you've got!:: Dragoon cheered.

'No one can disagree with me now. Heheheheheh.' Tyson thought evilly.

"B- but I wanna to go!!!" Tyson cried.

"You immature." Morgaine hissed.

"I WANNA GOO!!!" Tyson cried again.

Wrong decision.

"AGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOOOOOO BAAAAAAD!!" Morgaine shouted.

Tyson instantly stopped his crying and shut his mouth.

"Whoa. Spaz." Ray muttered.

"I'M NOT A SPAZ!!!" Morgaine screamed at him.

"Meep!" Ray squeaked as he hid behind Kai.

"Scawy!!! ___" Ray said, terrified by Morgaine's outburst.

Kai rolled his eyes.

"We must be the weirdest-" he started.

"Anyways!!!!! Laura, are you sure about this?" Sara asked.

Laura nodded her head.

"You better not lose!" Tyson huffed.

"I won't. Promise." Laura said.

A message was send to tell D.J Jazzman about the change of plans.

"It seems like Laura is battling instead of Tyson!" D.J Jazzman announced.

"A little information about Laura. She used to be a part of a team of 2 called Fire and Ice, but the team broke up about 5 years ago. maybe more.. Hey. Wait a minute. Martin was the other player on the team!" Brad Best said.

" -___- And. you didn't know that?" A.J. Topper asked.

Martin stared at Laura as she walked up to the dish.

"L-Laura." he muttered. He shook his head. He didn't need friends!

Laura and Martin took out their beyblades and waited for the countdown.

"Bladers ready? 3, 2, 1, LET IT RIIIP!" Jazzman shouted.

"GO!!" Laura shouted.

"Take her down!" Martin commanded.

Laura's golden blade crashed into Martin's black one. Sparks flew.

They chased each other and it seemed like Laura had the upper hand. Martin had taught her to always be the predator and never the prey.

But what she had forgotten was the Martin often deceived his opponent.

Laura decided to speak; she had to get the old Martin back.

"Martin! Why are you hurting so many people? Please stop this. I'm your frien-" Laura was cut off.

"I DON'T NEED FRIENDS!!!!!!" Martin roared.

That was it; Laura knew that she just lost it.

'Damn it.' She thought.

Martin's black blade slammed into Laura's with amazing force, sending Laura's blade out of the dish with ease.

"The first match goes to Martin!" D.J. Jazzman announced.

Laura scowled. Why was she so stupid? She knew that saying that would get Martin mad!

"Do you think it was wise to send Laura out there?" Kai asked Sara.

"We'll see." Was her answer.

"3, 2, 1, LET IT RIP!" Jazzman called again.

The two blades landed in the dish for the second time.

"Martin! I'm your frien-" Laura shouted.

"DON'T NEED FRIENDS!!!!!!!!" Martin roared.

"I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!" Laura's rage transferred into her blade. The rage was so huge, and so powerful that somehow, in some way, it sent Martin's blade out of the dish.

"You were lucky." Martin growled.

"They're tied now." Tyson muttered.

"The last match of this tournament starts now! 3, 2, 1 LET IT RIP!" Jazzman shouted.

AS her blade hit the dish Laura tried one last time.

Listen to me Martin! Listen to me! What has happened to you? Why have you changed?"

"SHUT UP!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!!" Martin was holding his head.

"NO!" Laura snapped.

"Fine! Dagon!" Martin called.

Laura gasped as Dagon emerged from Martin's blade.

It looked at its former mistress and didn't attack.

"Dagon." Laura's anger was silently building.

"What are you doing? Attack!" Martin commanded.

"No!" Dagon's mystical voice boomed in Martin's head. "I will not hurt my mistress! I'm tired of being you slave and I'm sure that Septa is too! You aren't the kind person you used to be and you don't deserve us! Look at her! Look at Laura!"

Martin looked Laura in her eyes for the first time in many years.

'Do you really want to hurt the one you used to love so much?' Dagon's voice was softer.

Martin slowly sank to his knees.

"No. I never wanted to.." He muttered in vain.

It was like everything was crashing back to him. He couldn't escape. All he could do was face it. Then why couldn't he? Why couldn't he let go?

Martin's head pounded. If only she knew. Knew why he did it.

"All the things I've done.how could I be so selfish?" Martin murmured.

"Martin, you were never known to bow to your opponent." Laura said.

Martin looked up, she was by his side. Her arm outstretched.

"Just tell me why Martin." Laura said gently.

Martin lowered his head again.

"Because. He said..."

"Who is 'he'"? Laura demanded.

"Boris.. Said that if I didn't help him. He..." Martin looked up at Laura. "He would take you... Whether you liked it or not. He would take you..."

Laura's eyes widened. She never knew.

"It's not your fault Martin. Friends?" she said, offering her hand to him.

Martin smiled a real smile.

"Friends." He took he hand and go up.

The crowd cheered along with the Bladebreakers.

"That was so romantic!!" Morgaine cried.

"From spazy to softy. You're weird you know that?" Pauline said.

"WHAT!???" Morgaine screamed.

"Ummmm... NOTHING!" Pauline waved her hands in front of her.

Martin stood and held his blade out in front of him.

"We'll have a fair match." He said. Dagon was released from Martin's blade and it rocketed back into Laura's.

::Hello Laura:: Dagon said.

'It's nice to have you back.' Laura smiled.

Mari's bit-beast came out of the black blade and flew out of the stadium, to Mari.

"Every bit-beast that is taken is given to me." Martin explained. "So, I have something for you." Martin pointed at Morgaine.

Dream burst out of Martin's blade and looked at Morgaine.

Morgaine clumsily took out her own blade and held it out for her bit-beast.

Dream soared into her blade.

"Now that that's all settled, let's get to our match." Martin said. (a/n weirdness.. This is now the last match because the "last match" was screwed up by Martin and Laura)

"YEAH! Let's go! 3, 2, 1, LET IT RIP!!!" D.J. Jazzman cried as the crowd screamed.

The two blades crashed into the dish for the last time.

"I won't go easy on you!" Martin said.

"That's the way I like it! Go!!! DAGON!!!" Laura commanded.

"SEPTA!!!" Martin roared.

"HEVEN'S ICE!!"

"HELL'S FIRE!!!!"

Two bit-beasts; ice and fire. Two bladers; boy and girl. Two friends; forever.

As the smoke cleared D.J. Jazzman declared the winner of the match and the tournament.

"THE WINNER IS!!! LAURA AND THE BLADEBREAKERS!!!!!!" D.J. Jazzman shouted.

The crowd went so wild that they nearly died.

Martin and Laura walked over to the Bladebreakers.

"Thank you." Laura said.

"No, thank you! Tyson would have definitely lost." Sara laughed.

"We're going to go on our way. We have a lot of catching up to do." Martin said.

The Bladebreakers nodded.

"BYE!! We'll never forget you!" Tyson shouted as Martin and Laura started to walk away.

Martin suddenly stopped and looked back at the Bladebreakers.

"Hey." He said. "Can you make fire out of ice?"

"No. It's impossible." Morgaine answered

Martin smiled.

"There is a way." He said and after that he and Laura left.. Hand in hand.
