Chapter 37: The Battle of the Three Phoenixes.

Kai watched in horror as his blade was slowly being push out of the dish. A dull throb in his heart had begun to set in. He tore his gaze from Dranzer and glanced at Isis, who looked like she was about to weep.

"This is going to be fun Dranzer... I am going to enjoy destroying you!" Kai shut his eyes as though trying to brace the fact he was going to lose... everything.

"STOP!" Hilary's voice suddenly rang through the huge room. Everyone else ran in and gasped out loud at the three bladers battling intensely. Hilary however didn't hesitate to run up to them.

"Hilary! Get back here!" Tyson shouted at her, hoping that for once she would take any notice of him.

"Osiris snap out of it!" Hilary pleaded with him; she tried to shake him on the shoulders, praying that he would snap out of it.

The teen snarled slightly and went to push her away; the image of the Black Phoenix was beginning to fade slightly, having to retreat further into Osiris's spirit to keep it subdued.

He blinked, his eyes crimson one more. He looked in confusion at Hilary, who was clinging to his shoulders.

"Hilary?" He whispered; his eyes turned black as the struggle for control surged through his body.

"Argh!" He screamed out in pain as his mind was squeezed and torn at by the spirit inside him.

"Osiris!" Hilary began to panic and started shaking him again, tears forming in her eyes. "Osiris please! You can beat this! Please! I beg you!" She wept; she couldn't imagine the torture inside of him.

Osiris please! You can beat this! Please! I beg you!

Hilary!

(Fool! I am your master from now on!)

Get out of me!

Osiris! Don't let him win!

(You are too weak to beat me!)

Flashback...

Hilary giggled slightly and dived into the local leisure pool. His second visit to visit her and it only been six months ago.

"Come Osiris! Can't you swim?" She teased him slightly. "Or are you a chicken?"

That caused the purple haired boy to bristle and dive in smoothly along side her. He pulled her under before rising again for water. Laughing at the mortified brunette next to him.

"I'm no chicken Hils!" He grinned and splashed her teasingly. She shouted out at him and attempted to follow his graceful strokes towards the deep end."

"Grr... Dam you Osiris! That's not funny! You know I can't swim as fast as that!" She complained slightly, she gasped out load as he came up to her and pulled her back under the water.

"Uh, uh Hils. My mom told me you'll always find a way to beat everyone. No matter what." He smiled cockily at her. "Of course I'm – Hey!" He spluttered as he came back up from being pushed underneath the surface and watched his friend giggle and swim away...

End Flashback...

You're wrong... You've already hurt too many people Black Dranzer... I WON'T LET YOU HURT ANYONE ELSE!

Everyone watched in disbelief as the already fading phoenix let out a loud cry and came back into flourish once more into its original form.

Osiris collapsed and sent Hilary down with him as she was still holding onto him.

Only Kai had noticed the Black Dranzer spin faster and go flying out of the dish at an almost dangerous speed.

Right.

Toward.

Isis.

"Isis!" He yelled, diving over the large beydish and pushed her, grabbing her so she wouldn't hurt herself (like how he does with Max when they first meet the All Starz). The blade skimmed past them both as though trying to get away, only to be pursued by Dragweena and Dranzer.

Kai stood up, a thoroughly shaken Isis in his arms. Trembling as though she was about to cry at any moment, clinging onto him as though he was going to disappear at any moment.

"I'm so sorry... I didn't want to hurt... He was going to hurt Hilary..." She murmured. Kai rocked her slightly in his arms. "So frightened... Hilary!" She spoke loudly looking up to try spot her.

"She safe..." He told her soothingly, his arms wrapped around her like a protective barrier. He inhaled her scent again, a faint hint of lavender and chamomile.

"I'm so sorry... I didn't want to..." She murmured resting her head on his chest. Once more the feeling of safety came to her in his arms.

Hilary let out a soft moan and sat up; she felt a soft material under her and jumped up slightly, embarrassed. Tyson ran up to her and helped her up.

"Hilary! Are you alright?" He gasped. "Who is this guy?" He asked, scanning around the room as though asking everyone.

"My name is Osiris." A voice spoke weakly, the boy got up, Hilary hastened to help him, still worried about him. "Don't worry, he's gone now." He told her, she nodded slightly; though still worried about him.

"This is all so very touching, but maybe we should think about getting out of here?" Nina spoke crisply. "We may introduce each other later."


LunaRavenCroft: (glomps reviewers)I missed you guys so much!!!! My internet decided it hated me so I couldn't go on. To make things worse meh computer crashed so I couldn't continue meh stories! (sobs) BUT! I'm alright now. I think. And now to meh AMAZING REVIEWERS!!!

Wreckless Spirit: The sad bit isn't for a while yet, infact I might not put it because I want the story to finish happily, know what I mean? I might do what other writers do and write two endings.

Kausi: (clips Kai over ear) ungrateful boy... lol.

Diamond Core: Thankyou! The only thing is when I reread them I don't get the same feeling as to when I write them. But then that's probably because I'm too critical towards my own work.

Blackout12: Thank you!

DarkZero313: Yes... and I'm sorry It's sort of short too...

Ms. Sourpuss: Don't worry about it! This has nothing to do with my story but hurry up and update your own! Yes! I'm impatient and I know it!

Ps: Any ideas on what you'd want to happen after the tournament/island thing will be greatly appreciated. I need some chapters to fill up the time spent before the last chapter and the tournament okay? Thank you!
