The Dream
"Where am I?" Rayne asked herself, as she stood in the middle of nowhere, pitch black surrounding her. She wrapped her arms around her, as she was cold even though the place was empty and there was no wind. She slowly started to receive goose bumps and one quick thought passed her mind.
'This is chillier than Russia is late at night.'
Suddenly, the surrounding became brighter and people started to appear, but they were sitting on benches in an oval shape, their eyes glued to the centre. Rayne followed their gaze and saw a bey-dish and two other benches. One bench was seated by the All-Star, the other seated by the Demolition Boys.
Rayne could see the Bladebreakers seated somewhere in the audience, with a member missing, and she can also see the Blade Angels, somewhere opposite from where she stood. She was leaning forward, her arms resting against the rail, her eyes full of curiosity.
According to the screen levelled with her eyes, the score of the match is one all and the third match determines who wins this round. And to what Rayne can calculate, the audience are waiting for the third member of the Demolition Boys to appear and as the curtain rose, a mounting dark feeling rose over Rayne. She thought at first that it was Black Dranzer, escaped from his cage and ready to go after her but as her heart started beating faster and her stomach constricted she knew differently.
"... And the All-Starz opponents the Demolition Boys have brought in a new team member to fight in this exhibition match, and here he is. It's... Kai Hiwatari?" the announcer cried.
The other Bladebreakers were paralysed with disbelief, but Rayne felt herself leaning more forward to make sure she had heard correctly and that the person walking out of the dugout really was Kai.
There was no mistaking the grave posture and confident air.
The feeling arose inside her again, choking as she tried to breath.
"Now do you see and feel the poison of betrayal?" the hard voice of Black Dranzer hissed as though he was sitting right next to her and whispering in her ear.
"He didn't... he wouldn't... Kai... he..." Suddenly she felt herself running... escaping the arena... escaping the voice of Black Dranzer... running faster and faster in the cold Russian air, her breath freezing her lungs as she panted... down the stairs and into the street... a blaring horn in her ear made her look up at the car heading her way with no sign of stopping before it hit her.
Rayne rolled down the street and stayed lying until she caught her breath. Hang on... caught her breath? That means... she looked up, her eyes on her hands and so no injury whatsoever and she saw pitch black surrounding once again. But then it was fill with a loud screech and Rayne sat up.
She was now in the arena, beside the stadium with the rest of the Bladebreakers and the Blade Angels, and saw her own sacred bit-beast, Deathscythe battling against some unknown bit-beast. She can see her herself, standing on a platform, fighting the match alongside Deathscythe, herself in different clothing, all tattered up, her a bit longer than now, with small fringes showing, and her flesh all in cuts and bruises.
She watched how the battle went, wondering if this was a premonition or not for she gets a few premonitions from time to time. And then it happened. The unknown bit-beast attacked Deathscythe head on, and Deathscythe gave it last cry before disappearing into her blade, the bit-chip cracked with her trapped in it.
Rayne's eyes became as wide as a plate at the sight and she found herself screaming her best-friend's name.
"DEATHSCYTHE!"

Rayne jerked awake, screaming, her body full of cold sweat, her heart resuming to normal and her breathing getting slower. She then heard the soothing sound of her worried bit-beast.
"Lady, are you OK?" Deathscythe asked.
"I'm fine Deathscythe. Go back to sleep. It's nothing really."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
The bit chip of the black beyblade glowed and Deathscythe returned to her slumber. Rayne pushed herself back to bed and her head hit the pillow with a soft thump.
'Man that almost too real!' Rayne thought wearily. She swallowed and suddenly felt her mouth dry so she got out of bed and padded across her bedroom and out into the hallway of her mansion she's living with the rest of the Blade Angels.
She walked down the carpeted stairs and started shivering when her bare feet made contact with the cold tiles of the kitchen and goose bumps started showing on her legs as she was wearing back shorts and navy turtle neck jumper.
She wrenched the fridge door open and took out the carton of milk and poured herself a glass before drinking it all in a few gulps. She sighed, thinking over the dream, trying to figure out what was going. Would there be another tournament? Has grandfather found another group of guinea pigs? Am I gonna loose Deathscythe? The thought of the last question brought tears in her eyes but she shook it off and went back to her room to sleep.
"Come back home quickly Kai!" Rayne whispered.

The next morning, a helicopter flew over a building.
"We're almost there, begin our descend." A blonde woman commanded.
"Yes, ma'am."
The helicopter descended and landed on the snow-free ground, the wings slowing down. Judy and her assistant Emily, who is also a member of the All-Stars made their exit and waited.
"Hey mum! Over here!" someone called. Both Emily, the ginger-haired girl and Judy turned to the source of the voice and saw Max waiting in his usual orange dungarees, his favourite childish smile on his face. He ran up to his mum and hugged her, his arms wrapped around his waist, giggling.
"Oh Maxie!" Judy cried, returning the hug.
"How about a hug for me, sport? Unless hugs are un-cool." Someone said behind Judy. Max looked up to his father, smiling down at him.
"Dad!" Max cried while in the background, a gasped could be heard. Just before Max could say anymore, someone came running towards them screaming joyfully.
"DADDY!" Amber jumped into her dad's arm, laughing.
"My little girl!" Mr Mizuhara cried. Amber got down and looked up to her father, eyes shining brightly.
"How are my two little beyblade champions?" Mr Mizuhara asked.
"Have you seen our matches, dad?" Max asked.
"He certainly ahs, and that's why he's here." Judy answered.
Just then a ringtone cold be heard and Amber answerd her walkie-talkie.
"Miracle, speaking." She answered.
"Hey, Amber. Rayne wants us to come to the mansion, right now." Vivien said at the other end of the line.
"Ok. I'll be there." And they both hung up.
"Sorry guys, but my team needs me. I'll see you at the tournament Max!" Amber called out behind her as she ran out of the place they were currently staying in and ran all the way to the Hiwatari Mansion.

"Our researches shown that the Blade Angels are using the exact same technique as the Bladebreakers, giving both teams the advantage and disadvantage. Not to mention equal powers in attack, defence and endurance." Judy said after they all sat down in the auditorium of a building in Russia.
"I know there's nothing wrong about them; they haven't been cheating at all and they're very skilful but what is so different about them is their motives of beyblading."
"They said something about Voltaire, Kai's grandfather." Max mentioned.
"Apparently so. Voltaire is still out there, hiding and he's regrouping a team to finish off what he's started a year ago. According to what we know, the Blade Angels have been practicing extra hard on their beyblading skills, they have the national Russia arm force on their side. They want to take Voltiare down for good and so do we. That's their motive. To take down Voltiare."
"If they are, then why are they entering this tournament?"
"That is still unknown but we can guess that they want recruits to go against Voltaire."
"What's the point when they have enough power?" Emily asked.
"That we don't know, Emily. But until then we need to help Max's team to win this tournament for the fourth-year running!"
"Too cool, mum!"
"So what are we supposed to do?" Kenny asked.
"You're missing the point, Kenny." Emily said. "Let's not think in terms of human provision here. Lets leave this problem up to science and technology."
Emily walked up to Kenny and passed him a CD-Rom.
"A CD?"
"Let's just say it contains Dranzer's and Wolborg's greatest hits."
"I don't understand it. Are we gonna SING to the Blade Angels because I think that's not gonna work. Maybe Tyson's voice will scare them off but..." Kenny said going hysteric and blushing hard.
"Chill out Kenny! I made one lousy joke and you go haywire!" Emily cut in, placing a hand on his shoulder. "This will help explain every thing."
Emily opened the door to another room where all the science and technology were set up, ready to build two new beyblade.
"What's going on here?" Kenny asked as he took in the scene.
"The CD contains file from these super computers. Dranzer and Wolborg are getting an upgrade boys!" Emily explained.
"This is our mobile operation centre and is loaded with all of our research tools." Judy continued.
"All of which is donated by the courtesy off the BBA." Mr Dickinson butted in, pulling his hat off his head in a respective manner.
"Oh yeah." Kenny slowly cheered.
"The computers have given up the upgraded performances on Wolborg and Dranzer. Now all we need is an engineer who can build the beyblade using the technology and the result. That's where your dad comes in, Max!"
"Too cool."
"Your dad has been tinkering with beyblades since before you can walk. Her can build one with his eyes closed. If that's what we wanted. Lucky for him, all we need is a hyper-metro mechanic beyblade with nanotac capability."
"Hey! No sweat. You want me to put in the air conditioning?" Mr Mizuhara asked.
"Alright. There's no way we can loose." Max said determined.
"Not a chance." Mr Mizuhara agreed.
"We've only got one chance so lets give our best shot."
"We've all of our combine skills there's no way we gonna let those Blade Angels break the record!"
"YEAH!" everyone cheered.
"Kai? Tala?" Emily asked.

White snow, forming into clouds could be seen above the trees in the property of the Hiwatari mansion and crashing sounds could be heard as the trees were cut off by two beyblades; one black and the other navy.
The beyblades zigzagged in and out of the trees in the Hiwatari forest that is located at the back garden of the Hiwatari mansion, taking their time before going head to head in an attack, making dust of white snowflakes fall about. They kept on attacking head on, trying to out win its opponents.
Someone chuckled.
"Quit laughing. You've only got one more day left!" Rayne growled.
It was Anya who laughed. "Ahh!"
The beyblades spun forward at an equal speed before Trumpcard, Anya's beyblade took extra speed and made a turned, attacking Deathscythe when making contact and headed back to it's owners hand after cutting down a tree each.
The trees landed behind the beybladers, while each of them got used to the weather and catching their breath as they wore nothing except their usual clothing; any coat, gloves, scarf whatever.
Rayne chuckled a bit. "Those were some sweet move shrimp." Rayne complimented.
"Haha. That was wicked. No way those Bladebreakers are gonna squash me!" Anya joked.
"That's right. They're all be busy chuckling at your lame jokes."
"And battle blade!" Anya let it ripped.
"Attack Deathscythe." Rayne commanded.
The two beyblades hit each other.
"And most importantly is to have fun. Always have fun and no one can truly beat you." Rayne advised.
"Oh man. Now she's getting all corny on me. I liked you when you were a jerk."
"You'll regret you ever said that!"
'I don't believe this. The most important beybattle of my life is less than 24 hours, Voltaire is on the run... what more could happen?' Anya thought.
Just then, three beyblades shot a tree, making it falls, trying to hit the girls but they both jumped out of the way. The beyblades returned to their respectful owners, three of them smirking and one of them said, "Oops. I guess I've forgot to say timber."
The smoke cleared out and the three beybladers made their appearance. It turned out to be Spencer, Ian and Bryan from the Demolition Boys.
"What do you want?" Rayne asked facing them. When she took in the sight, her eyes widen.
"Anya?" she choked. Anya looked up from her spot and her eyes also widen.
"It's... it's our boys!" she cried. Rayne and Anya exchanged looks before running up to the Demolition Boys and flinging themselves into their arms. Bryan and Spencer chuckled at the girls they were holding while Ian laughing jumped around them, shouting, "give me a hug! Where's my hug!"
Throughout the cheery mood, they could also hear the familiar chuckling from behind, except it was warmer instead of cold. Rayne and Anya looked up and saw Boris with the Majestics, over Spencer and Bryan's shoulder. Anya gasped and both Rayne and Anya got out of the embrace they have with the D-Boys and jumped into Boris's open arms, making him fall, with themselves on top of him.
The Majestics watched with amused expression while the D-Boys grinned.
"What are you guys doing here anyways? We all thought you were dead!" Rayne said to the D-Boys as she and Anya got off Boris. Johnny and Oliver went towards the girls and extended their hands out to them. Rayne and Anya accepted and they got to their feet.
"Well actually, they were with us this whole time. They were and still are hiding from Voltaire." Boris answered.
"Unfortunately." Rayne rolled her eyes.
"And also, we are here to give you some work out to beat those Breaker dudes."
Rayne chuckled. "Try your best."
"It's a tag team. So you have both of us to train." Anya reminded
"Fine by me." Spencer said, getting his beyblade ready. The girls jumped down the small cliff they were currently standing on and stood on top of one of the fallen trees, their blades ready.
The Majestics and the rest of the D-Boys got ready and Boris said he would referee.
"3...2...1..." Boris counted.
"LET THE BEYBLADE RIPS!" everyone shouted and beyblades of all colours were flying around.
"We're counting on you, ladies." Johnny said.
"Yeah, teach those Bladebreakers you're not to mess around with!" Spencer said.
"It's your duty to keep the game noble and fair." Robert said.
"Make us proud, girls." Bryan said.
"For the team, for our boys. There's nothing that can stop us!" Rayne said.
And all of the beyblades clashed one more time.

"Hey, what did you guys do to Wolborg?" Tala asked his new teammates.
"What you are holding in your hand is an upgraded and improved Wolborg. Say bye-bye to Wolborg and hello to super Wolborg." Kenny said.
"Super Wolborg?" Tala turned to his best friend. Kai could only shrug as he held his own super Dranzer.
"That's right. The first ever super power beyblade!" Max said.
"Now it can stand against those Blade Angels and your technique is stronger so you should have no problem." Emily said.
"We're back in the game." Judy said.
"Yes. A chance to redeem our nobility... a chance to..."
"What he means is LET IT RIP!" Tyson cut in.

Four beyblades clashed together in the middle of the dish before flying out and circling each, trying to find the right time to make its move. It was the finals of the world tournament and it's the Bladebreakers versus the Blade Angels, Tala and Kai versus their twins, Anya and Rayne.
"You sure, you boys don't want to pack it in?" Rayne grinned.
"Not a chance, sis!" Kai smirked.
"Deathscythe!" Rayne screamed at the same time, "Trumpcard!" Anya screamed. The white beyblade and the blue beyblade spun in the center of the dish while the black beyblade and the navy beyblade zigzagged tier way towards them. As they got closer they parted then clashed into the two opponents, sending sparks all over the place and destroying some of their attack ring.
"OH NO!" Kenny cried.
Kai and Tala gritted their teeth and watched helplessly as they got beaten. Then Deathscythe and Trumpcard backed away and went nearer to the ring of the dish, at their owners' side. Rayne and Anya exchanged eye contacts and nodded. Up in the audience, the Majestics, Boris and the remaining D-Boys got ready for the upcoming, ultimate attack, their arms ready under their chin.
Rayne and Anya stood up properly, standing side-by-side at first.
"Better shield your eyes, boys." Anya warned.
Tala and Kai gave them a confused look.
"Deathscythe!"
"Trumpcard!"
Both bit-beast, taking the form of an Angel of their own element, arose from their beyblade, ready for the final attack. Rayne raised her right arm, Anya raised her left arm and they spun around each other, so that they were standing in each other's spot, back-to-back. Both of their hand was shoulder levelled and the palm was facing the direction of the boys head, and as they got into their position, they called out their attack,
"Angels Blinding Light!"
Deathscythe and Trumpcard turned into a ball of light, emerged with each other to make a gigantic ball of white light, above the dish and crashed down to the ground, covering the stadium with wind and light, blinding everyone. As soon as it happened it stopped and only clouds of dust were covering the battle. Everyone waited; the Blade Angels and the Bladebreakers all stood up from the bench, Spencer and Bryan stood up from their seat, Kai and Tala watched closely through the dust but couldn't and Anya and Rayne were still standing, their arms lowered to their side and out of breath.
"What has just happened, AJ?" Brad asked.
"Well it seems the girls were giving their final attack which was a ball of bright, white light. And now we're waiting for the result." AJ answered.
The dust finally gave way and a devastated result appeared. Two beyblades were still spinning next to the two beyblades that were just lying there.
"And the new champion of the tournament is... THE BLADE ANGELS!!!!!!!!"
Every single girl in the stadium cheered as loud as possible while the boys groaned. The three remaining Blade Angles all jumped in the air before running to their friends, Amber flung her arms around Rayne's neck as soon as she reached her. In the audience, the D-Boys and Boris could not be seen but the Majestics had their amused expression on.
The Blade Angels minus Rayne were all jumping about on the platform, still cheering, looking happy. Rayne had a tired expression on her face, possibly of the energy she used up for the attack and was ready to fall. But at the corner of her eyes she saw a group of boys, silently running towards Tala and from what the wink she got from Spencer, she stayed quiet.
The D-Boys crept up to Tala from behind and gave a loud "BOO!" which resulted in Kai and Tala jumped a few feet up in the air of fright.
Even the Blade Angels got frightened and stopped jumping about, and turned to the source of the sound with a scared expression on their face. Rayne burst out laughing and was joined by the rest of the D-Boys and the Blade Angels while Tala and Kai sent glares towards them until Tala choked up at the sight.
"Bryan? Spencer? Ian? I... I thought you were dead?"
"Well, we rose from the dead!" Bryan said in a haunted voice.
Rayne burst out laughing with Spencer and Ian and Boris who joined them.
"Boris?" Kai called.
"Yes, my boy. It is I!"
Kai and Tala could do nothing but gaped and heard giggling in the background. Kai felt a small tugged around his neck and turned his head to be met with a pair of tired crimson eyes.
"You Ok?" Kai asked.
"Yeah. Just run out of energy on that attack." Rayne said, passing him his beyblade. "That was an awesome match." She added.
Kai gave her a soft smile. "It sure was." And lightly kissed her forehead. Tyson looked at the scene with his eyes wide open and his jaw hitting the ground.
"Is that the same Kai we know?" Tyson dumbly asked. "OUCH!" was heard afterwards, when Alexia and Amber went up to him and hit him hard at the back of the head.
Tala turned to Rayne and saw her head resting on Kai's shoulder, her eyes half closed.
"Hey, you OK?"
"Yeah. Just tired."
"Tired? What about the concert?" Amber asked.
"Got enough energy for that!" Rayne said brightly. "And I know just a few songs to wind the boys even more!" Rayne added, grinning evilly. Tala and Kai exchanged terrified looks while the whole stadium laughed, while up above the clouds a couple was looking down at their children with a happy smile on their faces.
DK: DONE!
K-K: A request to those who know who the couple are.
Anya: Its very simple. If you just read the chapter, go back and read the whole story to get the answer.
Kai: ::wearily:: It's very, very, easy!
Amber: But until then...
Alexia: Good night and have a good week!
