Hi guys. Thanks for the reviews. Glad you like it. Was a bit worried as it my first Beyblade Fic.

Chapter 2

Tyson walked down the winding pathway to the snow capped mountain. A sudden blast of cold air heralded the snow. It came down first in flurries, then a blizzard. The surrounding area lost to the curtain of white as the three travelled to the meeting place. Tyson was lost in thought to what he would have to face. Him and Kai had always been rivals, vying for the title of the best Beyblader. But both for different reasons.

Rei, Max and Kenny followed Tyson, each now held an arm in front of the, in a vain attempt to block the snow. They followed where Tyson led. Soon, looming out of this white abyss came a sheltered spot. A Steep edifice of rock shot to the grey sky, the wind could find no bearing to how it's fury. As if the passed some sort of curtain, the snow stopped, the wind ceased its wrath. In the shadow of that Stone, silence reigned. In the centre of this clearing stood a stone dish, around it were statue's Tyson Gasped when he saw them, and each was the sacred Bit-beast.

"Look, its Draciel" Max exclaimed going over to the statue of his Bit-beast. The statue was an exact replica, but it looked ancient. So did they all, they went to each statue, names written in ancient writing none cold read. And carved into that wall of the stone behind them, was the picture that Tyson had seen at his home. Underneath was some more writing.

"Wish I knew what it said" Tyson growled in frustration, he kicked the stone, then preceded to hop about as he only succeeded in bruising his toe. Kenny opened his laptop, maybe Dizzi would know

"Dizzi, do you have any files that can read this?"

"Don't need it chief. All Bit-beasts can read this" the bar on the screen oscillated to show Dizzi was speaking.

"Well what does it say" Tyson pressed his face close to the laptop

"Well if you get your face out of the way of my camera, I'll tell you" Tyson backed off, looking sheepish "Thanks, now. It says:

A shadow will follow a brother of the Sky

The North Star will stand undefended,

Blocked by a curtain of white.

The lone brother will fight the shadow,

But the ultimate sacrifice may be paid,

The blue light shall shine in sorrow,

Oh let not that dreadful price be paid.

But even in the dark…hope remains.

Dizzi finished translating the writing, there was more, but time and wind had eroded it beyond reading.

"What could it mean?" Max asked huddled together, the cold now biting.

"So, you came, good" all friends turned at the sound of the new voice, there stood Kai, Boris slightly behind. Kai stood, his two scarfs ends billowing. He walked to the dish, Tyson took his place opposite, and Boris stood between the two, as the others did the same.

"Kai, we don't have to do this." Tyson pleaded.

"Oh yes we do" Kai brought out Black Dranzer, and joined it to his launcher. He stood ready. Tyson, with regret but no fear, took out Dragoon, he connected it to his launcher, made by Kenny years ago it seemed, when Kai was still a member of the team. "And he still is, he just doesn't know it"

Boris started the count down.

"3-2-1"

"LET IT RIP" both boys shouted in unison, this would not be a best out of three, this was until one fell, Tyson had to get Kai to see that this was wrong.

The Blades went full speed towards each other, the clash was titanic. Light flashed, sparks flew. But Black Dranzer was gaining ground.

"Kai. Is this all blading means to you, to win at any cost, even cheating" Tyson called

"Cheating? I am not cheating" Kai sneered back

"You are, you steal others bit-beasts, imprison them to feed black Dranzer. Then use them against others. This skill is not your own. This is all black Dranzer, everything computed by Boris. You are nothing but a common Thief, No wonder Dranzer has lost his respect for you, feels ashamed of you" Tyson took out Dranzer, the Bit-beast came out of the blade, to stand before his former master, Tyson could see Kai wavering, his control on Black Dranzer loosing it's hold. Black Dranzer screeched in defiance, Kai was under its control once more

"You think you can trick me Tyson. It won't work, and Dragoon will be mine"

"No he will never be yours Kai. For you are not worthy of any bit-beast, what happened to the blader, who would fight with his soul to win. The true blader I knew. You….you are nothing. Your not even worth my time, and Dragoon and I will show you that…DRAGOON PHANTOM HURRICAN"

Dragoon came forth from his blade, roaring his defiance and disgust at Kai and his Black Dranzer, Kai looked to this Dragoon, he seemed stronger than ever before, Dranzer stood behind Tyson, looking at Kai with sadness. As Dragoon pushed the Black Dranzer blade back. A voice, quiet at first but getting stronger, was telling Kai this was wrong. He was not fighting for himself anymore, not to gain a title; he was a pawn to Boris and his Grandfather

"No" it came in all but a whisper, but Black Dranzer faltered. Withdrawing back into the blade, and backing off to spin before Kai

"What are you doing Kai" Boris demanded of his pupil

"This is wrong. I will not be your Pawn" Kai said, tone as sharp as a knife

"What?" gasped Boris, he was loosing control

"I will expose Bio-volt, and you"

Boris began to laugh, a high long laugh of someone who has already won

"I don't think so, Black Dranzer, hear me and Obey" Black Dranzer Hearing the call of his true master emerged, it stood before Boris, then with a movement of his hand The rest of the Demolition Boys appeared, Tala shot Wolbourg straight at Kai. Kai stood rooted to the spot, too shocked to see Black Dranzer obey Boris. He waited for the pain. But none came; he opened his eyes to see Dranzer had blocked the Attack

"Dranzer?" Kai asked in awe, that his bit beast had protected him, even after he had thrown Dranzer away like Trash. Dranzer sent out a Keen, pledging his forgiveness to Kai. And that he would fight. Kai looked to see the others fighting now, though Rei and Max did not have bit-beasts, as they were claimed by Black Dranzer, they were still willing to fight. Tyson was backing them up. Kai clenched his fists and turned to Dranzer

"BATTLE ON DRANZER"

Boris watched this, but he was starting to get cold. He looked to Kai and Dranzer. He would take Dranzer first; make Kai pay for his betrayal. To weaken the Bit-beast, attack the Owner.

"Go Black Dranzer, attack Kai"

Tyson turned to see Black Dranzer speeding towards Kai. Dragoon was too busy helping Rei and Max, he wouldn't be able to get there in time, Tyson ran to Kai shouting his name, Kai turned, seeing the danger he was in, but too late to do anything, or so he thought. He felt a push. He was on the snow-covered ground. He heard a scream of pain; He looked up to see Tyson, grasped tightly in Black Dranzer's claws, Black power pouring into Tyson. Black Dranzer was in a rage; this boy had gotten in the way of his target.

There was a roar and impact as Dragoon collided with Black Dranzer to free his master and Friend. Dragoon Roared rage At Black Dranzer, then turned to his master…

Kai crawled over to Tyson, he wasn't moving. All other fighters stopped, Kenny ran over. Kai cradled Tyson as Kenny checked for a pulse…. and found none, he began to cry. Max and Rei coming over,

"Is he ok?" Max asked

"He's dead" Kenny whispered then shouted to the sky "HE'S DEAD"

Kai felt his own tears fall; this had been his fault. He saw blue as Dragoon came over, the great bit-beast crooned softly Nudging his masters face, the head fell limp once more, dragoon Crooned again, nudging once more, but got the same reaction.

"He's dead Dragoon" Kai whispered, dragoon looked at him. Kai could swear he saw the bit-beasts emotions in those eye's, a flash of disbelief, sorrow so great it would make your heart break, then rage, Dragoon Roared to the Heavens. And turned to Boris and his Black Dranzer. Dragoon would spear no one, for his master was dead….
