Chapter Twenty-Eight - The End. The Beginning.

"This is where is ends, Hiwatari. This is where you go no further and where your path ends. As we speak your dear companions from the Russian beyblading team are being defeated and crushed, their lives exterminated and their bit beasts taken. A shame they couldn't stick around to see your own defeat." Malachite grinned bitterly, chuckling like someone who had clearly lost their mind. "There is no way you can escape, even after the third member of your team warned the Russians…. What, you didn't think she was still alive? Why I'm all too sure she is, and too late none the less. If she even had an inkling of an idea of what she could do with her bit beast…. Why then maybe she could've saved you."

Behind Malachite Fever snickered softly, pale blue eyes flickering with raw amusement of the predicament that Kai and Razor were in. "May I have the pleasure of taking care of the kid, Malachite? Oh it would be so much fun and such a pleasure…." The youngest member of the Hell Breakers seemed to almost purr at the idea of getting his hands on Razor, his companion Cannon smirking at his side as their leader turned back to glance at her to see if it was alright with her. "Let him to it…. I enjoy watching the… game." The girl's voice was cold, mocking really as her fierce violet eyes fell upon Kai. "A shame he has to be yours though. I would so dearly like to break him."

"If there is anything left of him, Cannon… If there's anything left of him…." Turning his attention back to solely Kai his hand held out his black and dark purple beyblade, the bit beast chip glowing with an eerie dark purple energy. "Now lets see if you can handle me and my bit beast, Hiwatari. Lets see if you can fight against something you know nothing of. Meet my Pa'das." And with that simple naming of the leader's bit beast the glow of the bit beast chip intensified, a low growl emerging from the chip itself. The bit beast was willed out of its confinement, its large sleek black furred panther form roaring out its sheer destructive challenge. Pa'das was truly a large creature, no longer in his spirit form as his body become solid and quite real. Amber eyes settled upon Kai who stood wide-eyed with shock, simply not understanding how this could be. Behind him Razor stood, bewildered as Fever slowly stalked towards him.

"Kai, what are we going to do? We don't know how to make out bit beasts come out of their chips like that. If they attack us we won't have any defense against them." The tone of Razor's voice was fearful, stepping slowly backwards as Fever continued his way closer. The pale blue eyes boy chuckled, holding out his both dark and light blur beyblade to show his bit beast chip. "Now you will meet my Oura." Just as Malachite's blade had done the bit beast chip glowed, only with a midnight blue energy. The energy quickly leaped from the chip, shaping into a first spirit form then a solid form of a large armored black tiger with pale green eyes. Oura wasn't as sleek as Pa'das but he was still massive in size, deadly really as he stalked forward towards Razor. "Fell my Oura's power," cackled Fever as his beast circled the now separated from Kai Razor.

Kai had his own troubles, the deadly form of Pa'das stalking around him, just waiting to strike. Razor was right; they were helpless against this sort of attack. They didn't know how to call out their bit beasts to help them in a solid form. The fear that consumed him made Kai shiver, crimson eyes locked with the amber ones of the panther bit beast. The large cat, easily the size of a massive stallion, leapt forward suddenly towards Kai, his form barely rolling away to escape the deadly teeth and sharp claws. The panther growled with frustration, hissing lightly before lunging again at Kai's form. Ducking the bit beast soared over him, barely missing him once more. If things continued like this there was no doubt that the bit beast would loose its patience and use an actual attack.

Razor was fairing no better, but his bright blue eyes seemed glazed as if he was seeing something that wasn't even there. In fact he was taking out loud to absolutely nobody, or at least to someone that no one else could see. The power of the might Oura was illusions, and Fever had used Razor's own painful memory against him. The image that Razor was seeing was of Tala, his uniform-clad form smiling and waving in a friendly way. The bluenette was on the verge of tears, choking down sobs from the illusion he was seeing. "Why Tala, why did you have to go and protect me? Don't you understand that you've still hurt me by doing that… Tala, why.." Slowly Razor crumbled to his knees, hugging himself as he finally let the tears go. The illusion was still there, but what Razor didn't see was the armored Oura stalking towards him like a piece of fresh meat.

Crimson eyes glanced towards the fallen Razor, but Kai could do nothing to help him. He had to keep his attention on the ever-impatient Pa'das which was still trying to pounce on him. The large black furred cat seemed to be getting overly irritated, fighting on its own accord now as its amber colored eyes glowed hungrily. The bit beast didn't lunge again though, but instead something collided with Kai's chest successfully knocking the air out of his lungs and tossing him back into the broken beyblade littered ground. Malachite was laughed, cackling really as if he knew something that Kai didn't. "I thought I'd inform you Hiwatari that my bit beast has psychic powers. I am amused to see how long you far against his weakest of attacks, but then again the end will be the same…. You shall die, just like your Russian friends and your companion Razor. Tsk.. You should never bring the weak with you."

"Razor is not weak, you're just using your advantage over him, and that isn't honorable. You're cheating by not fighting in an actual beyblade match! You should be ashamed of calling yourself a beyblading team… You can't even beyblade with your blades I'm betting you… Such a pity." Kai slowly rose to his feet, weary now of the panther bit beast before him. It was clear that the creature was ready to attack again, but the question was how it was going to go about doing so. There was nothing Kai could do against psychic attacks, he wad vulnerable and didn't like feeling that way in the least. 'Is this really the end? Is this how Dranzer and I are going to fall, without even a fight?'

"Tala.." Razor was in his own little world now, seeing nothing but illusions of Tala all around him. Memories flooded back to him, but they seemed more calming than anything else. In his pocket Wolborg's bit beast chip glowed a soft yet warm blue color, trying to comfort Razor somehow yet angry at the trick that he so readily saw through. "No…" Whispered Razor. "He wouldn't want me to be sad, would he Wolborg? He'd want me to fight back, to be happy. Xioku and I had never had such friends of companions before, and we can't forget that… I can't forget what Tala would want, thank you Wolborg.." Glossy bright blue eyes seemed to clear, as if seeing through all the illusions like they were nothing at all. "We fight together, as a pack.." With tears still in his eyes Razor stood, reaching his hand into his pocket to draw out his bright blur and white beyblade. "This is a fight we won't loose… This fight is for Tala and Wolborg. We fight for them and all those who have suffered. This is our victory! Xioku!"

The suddenly bright blue glow coming from the center of Razor's bit beast caught everyone's attention, Fever furrowing his brows in an unsure manner. He didn't like this at all and he refused to back down. "Oura, finish him off!" With a roar of power and fury the armored black tiger bit beast bounded forward, aiming to quickly rid of the unwavering Razor. The large cat soon found its vulnerable throat locked in the powerful jaws of a large wild looking dog with spines and blades along its back; Xioku. Razor stood indifferent, a determined look on his face as Oura was sent sliding across the ground harshly, the teeth marks along its neck clearly visible yet leaking green ooze. "Venom," whispered Razor, answering the questioning stare of Fever. "Deadly when it enters the blood stream…"

Malachite didn't look too pleased; in fact the only people who did look so were Kai and Razor. 'If he can do it, then so can I.' Kai drew out Dranzer from his pocket, gazing at Dranzer's bit beast chip. 'I'm counting on you to help us…. To revenge what damage they have caused. Don't let me down, my friend.' Lifting his gaze to Pa'das he held out his beyblade, narrowing his eyes. "Go, Dranzer!" Just as the bit beast chip began to glow Kai felt the world about him close around him tightly. Amber eyes of the black panther glowed as Kai's form was lifted from the ground, feet dangling in the air below him while his body was being slowly crushed by a psychic hold on him. He could feel Dranzer struggling to be released from her chip, but the psychic attack was affecting her too, keeping her from escaping for the time being. "I won't let you call her out… I'm afraid since the tides have turned I'm going to have to kill you now instead of later.." It was Malachite who was speaking, his own amber colored eyes narrowed with disappointment.

'Is this how it is going to end? I can't let it end like this; I can't let things be this way. I remember the name now… Zeus. He worked for my grandfather. I remember why he was always a last resource. His ideas were erratic, but I see now that they were true. I can't let it be like this, I can't let Biovolt rise. I can't let them have our bit beasts, and I won't let them take Dranzer again!' Even as Kai fought to help Dranzer out of her confinement it only left him vulnerable, breathing coming harsher and harder to come by. His vision slowly started to blur. 'Was this what Alexis felt like when she had those spasms? Like her lungs were aflame but she was choking on her own air..'

Razor was fairing far more better than Kai was, encouraging his bit beast companion on with a strong will. Xioku was eager to comply and protect his friend, his master. The wild dog was quite the foe, the illusions of Oura starting to no longer become effective as the black tiger itself began to falter due to the venom in its blood. The cat's movements were becoming sluggish and off balance which gave clear opening for attack that the wild dog was ready to take. Bright blue eyes fell upon Kai as he dangled suspended in the air, but Razor couldn't have Xioku distracted to help him, but then it hit him. He already had the answer and the spirit was ready to help out. Reaching into his pocket Razor drew out Wolborg's beyblade, kissing its bit beast chip before holding the blade out. "Wolborg! Fight as you will!" The mutated white wolf leaped from its beyblade, taking one single bound before savagely attacking the unsuspecting bit beast Pa'das. The panther cried out in agony as fangs dug into is hide, ice particles springing from the wolf's bite as if he was the source of everything cold itself.

The sudden attack upon the black panther freed Kai from his prison in the air, tumbling to the ground and gasping for breath. Dranzer, now free as well, flew from her master's beyblade in a mad fury of flames and feathers. Both Dranzer and Wolborg proceeded with their attacks against the black panther, fire coming from air and ice from the ground as the two worked as a team to brutally attack the bit beast who dare threaten a human's life. The panther was protecting itself the best way it could; with a psychic shield that wavered with every offending attack that was thrown against it. The tables looked as if they had turned all until a white-scaled toon-like dragon attacked Wolborg from behind.

The dragon was Cannon's bit beast Maelthra, his wings soaring his toon looking form into the sky. Cannon clearly didn't want to be left out of the battle that seemed to never want to end. Each bit beast was fighting for its life, each wounded one way or another and it fought to its best ability. Feathers flew, blood splattered and fur covered the ground. Bit beasts were never meant to fight this way, and even Kai had to turn his head away from the brutal fight that the bit beasts before his refused to give up in. Oura had fallen and retreated back into its wielder's blade, but in return Wolborg without Tala's source of inner energy fell as well, retreating back into itself own blade with a soft howl that asked forgiveness. Dranzer and Xioku were barely holding on, the other side fairing little better other than the fact that Cannon's bit beast had a mad skill at trapping Xioku in vines and rock with its power over the element earth.

Kai and moved to stand next to Razor, both looking bold and unwavering in their stature. They wouldn't budge and would continue to support their bit beasts until the end. They were a team, a pack, and a family who now worked together to fight. "Dranzer, Volcano Emission!" The attack was a newer one that Dranzer had learned; a powerful fire attack that would prove to be deadly it connected head on. Razor seemed to get the idea, calling out to his won bit beast. "Xioku, Poison Sphere!" The two bit beasts, barely hanging on while their weariness wore off onto their bladers, many wounds as well, were ready to have a last go at it. They could hear Malachite and Cannon screaming to their bit beasts to counter the attacks, but it seemed all too late. The large sphere or fire mixed with the sphere or green poison, soaring quickly forward only to collide with the Pa'das and Maelthra. The bit beasts cried out in agony and pain before their forms converted back into spirits and retreated back into their blades. Their wielders, just as much spent as their bit beats were soon fell unconscious. Kai and Razor still stood, calling back their own bit beasts to give them a well-deserved rest. The other kids' bit beasts flew from Malachite's blade and settled back into bit beast chips in their respective master's hand.

They thought it was all over until an explosion rocked the island's grounds. It was then that Kai and Razor were reminded of the three Russian bladers who they still had not seen. No words were needed as they both took off towards where the pillar of smoke was coming from, pushing their tired bodies to the limits They both hoped that they'd be in time to help out the others, if indeed there was anything they could do to help. Fate was no longer in their hands.
