Kiyoshi (c) Angel Dranger

Ithink that's everything...on with the fic!


Amaya tapped her foot impatiently against the foot of her bed. She had her stereo on, blaring one of her favorite CD's. Her mind going over a bunch of different possibilities for why the Bit-beasts were acting so strange; each one seemed more far-fetched than the next. She glared at the ceiling and screamedher frustration.

Banging sounded on the wall behind her bed, and a muffled voice yelling, "I'm trying to study here, Aya!"

"Kitty-Kat, like I give a shit!" She shouted back, turning and kicking the wall behind her a few times for emphasis. "We have a few things more important things to be thinking about, other than your grades."

A few seconds later the door to her bedroom opened, revealing a slightly pissed off Katsu. "Yeah well, you can worry about those, It's more your problem anyway. I don't have a bit-beast remember."

"So that doesn't mean I don't need your help in figuring this out, Kat. Besides we don't know if it's just people with bit-beasts, having one might just make it easier."

Katsu sighed and walked into the room, closing the door behind him. He grabbed the chair that was behind Amaya's drum set, and sat on it; the back facing him, so he could rest his chin and arms on the back.

"Yeah but what can we do. The President here won't listen to us. Have you gotten a message back from the Breakers yet?"

"No not yet. But I sent it to Kenny, so we should get a reply back soon enough."

"Hopefully…" he was bout to say more when the phone on Amaya's bedside table rang. Amaya leapt off her bed and smashed the pause button on her stereo, while Katsu dove for the phone. "Hello… yes…okay…slow down…here." He tossed the phone to Aya who caught it.

"Hello Amaya speaking…say what? Okay we'll be there in a flash. Whatever you do don't go near her, Okay Rez. Good. See you in a few," She hit the end button on her phone. "Come on there's another incident. It's at the elementary school down the street," Amaya grabbed a jacket and pulled it on over her orange shirt. "I'm glad I decided to tell the local bladers to give us a ring if something like this happened again. If we get there soon enough we might be able to stop it."

"Why do I have to go?" He demanded following his twin out of her room, disappearing into his room for a few seconds to grab a jacket of his own.

"Because I'm going to need your help, that's why. We fight a lot, bro, but when we work together we're a great team. I need your help Katsu, please."

"Fine, since you asked nicely. I'll help."

"Thank you."


The siblings ran through the gates of the elementary school and came to a sliding stop on the grass. A group of kids stood around a girl, who was at the moment sitting on her knees, hands in her lap. She was taking deep steadying breaths, and had her eyes closed.

This must be the person that Serez called about. But how come she seems so calm...shouldn't she be panicking, or be going crazy or something like that? Amaya thought to herself as she and Katsu started to walk towards the group that was gathered there.

"What the hell?" Katsu walked up to the group and eyed the kid strangely. "Shouldn't she be wigging out or something?" Voicing Amaya's earlier thought.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't wig out." She said without opening her eyes.

"Wow, you two got here fast…what did you do, fly?" A voice sounded from the back of the group. The voice was laced with sarcasm that was mostly just from habit, not real.

"There you are Serez…What are you doing in Japan anyway?" Amaya asked walking over to the other girl.

She was as tall as Amaya was, with jaw length, dark forest-green hair, and the eyes the color of drying blood, perched on top of her head were a pair of sunglasses. She wore a black ¾ length shirt with the hem of the neck and the edges of the sleeves being dark blue. Baggy red pants with two black belts hung from her hips, and she had black shoes. She had a red launcher gripped in her hand; loaded to it was an ice-blue Beyblade.

"Well I was in China for a bit, but I decided to come down here for a visit and bug the hell out of you two and the Breakers for awhile." She shrugged one shoulder elegantly, and glanced down at her friend.

She had hip length black hair with blue and red streaks throughout, she kept it pulled back from her face, though her bangs still fell into her eyes. Under her bangs you could also make out a blue teardrop marking in the center of her forehead, and under her each of her eyes was two red markings that looked sort of like cat whiskers. Her gray t-shirt had three rips across the chest, revealing the red tank top she had on underneath. Her black pants also had various rips and holes in them; orange piping ran up the sides of the pants.

"Who's this?" Amaya asked, also looking down at the kneeling girl.

"Oh yeah, this is a friend of mine. Her name is Kayra Neris. She came over with me from China. We were having a friendly match when she started to act all funny. The kids here said to call you guys. So I did. Now mind explaining to me what the hell is going on?"

Katsu gave her a brief explanation of what had happened the other day, and how it was probably related to this.

"Well that's just great. So you're saying that she's going to be possessed then, and you have no idea how to fix it or keep it from happening?"

"Yeah that's about the gist of it."

"For the love of Caesar!" She trailed of into various Italian curses and swears.

After listening to her swear for a minute Kayra got fed up and tried to get her attention. "Serez!"she yelled from her position on the grass, trying to get the attention of the mumbling Italian blader. "Now is not the time to panic, or have a nervous break down…"

"Yeah if anyone should be freaking out it should be her." A voice said from within the small crowd that was gathered around the four teens. He stepped up from the back of the group and faced them, arms crossed over his chest. His blue hair was a bit wind tossled but otherwise lay flat. He wore a red t-shirt that had black ties on the sleeves. White bandages wrapped in a criss-cross pattern up both his arms to just above his elbows, his pants were black with the outline of his pockets being red, and a red bandage type thing wrapped around the lower part of his left pant leg. He wore plain brown sneakers and on his hands were black fingerless gloves.

"You're not helping, Kiyoshi." The twins snarled as they glared at the blue-haired teen. He shrugged and went back to watching Kayra struggle to keep herself in the driver's seat of her body.

It was getting harder and harder for the teenage girl to fight back, and not that she would admit it to anyone else, but she was starting to panic. She didn't know what she would to her friend or the surrounding people once she was possessed, but she knew it wouldn't be pretty. "If you guys would stop arguing for one minute… there's something you need to know."

"What's up, Kayra?"

"I'm not going to be able to hold this…thing off for much longer. You guys should leave, while I'm still myself. I don't want to hurt anyone."

"Don't be an idiot, Neris. I'm not going to leave you here. One: Eni would murder me," she grinned slightly as the corner of Kayra's eye twitched in annoyance, and a slight blush crept across her face. "And two: You're my friend. I don't ditch my friends."

"Now is not the time to be spouting your noble shit, Spectro. Leave I don't want to hurt you, or anyone else," Kayra snarled, bunching her hands in her pants, and squeezing her eyes shut, still fighting to keep control.

"Sorry Neris. No can do," She plopped herself on the grass a few feet from her friend and lounged there. She shot her friend a pointed glare that plainly said, "I'm not leaving you here by yourself."

"Fine you don't have to leave... I have a feeling your two japanese friends won't want to leave you here by yourself, either. But everyone else has to clear off."

"All right." Amaya and Katsu got everyone to leave. Well mostly everyone. The blue haired boy Aya and Katsu had snapped at earlier was still there.

"Who's he?" Serez asked icily, tilting her head back to get better look at the boy who had spoken earlier, blood-red eyes glaring.

"I'm Kiyoshi Fai. I'm a friend of Katsu's." He said as if it explained everything.

"Whatever. And you're still here, why?" Her eyes narrowed further. She wasn't good with manners around people she hadn't known for awhile, or with new people in general. Serez always had a sarcastic and cynical air about her until you got to know her.

"Because I can be. It's a free country ya know."

"Sure, whatever. You probably just get a kick outta this kind of thing." Serez mumbled off handedly, going back to staring at the air in front of her.

Kiyoshi heard the comment and glared at her. "And just what is that supposed to mean."

"What it sounded like, dumbass," Kiyoshi glared at her. She smirked meantly. He probably knew what she meant, but she was frustrated and felt like being a bitch. "It means, that you enjoy watching people as they struggle with something or someone that is trying to take them over." Her mental smirk formed on her face as Kiyoshi growled angrily and took an advancing step towards the infuriating Italian girl. She threw her head back and laughed.

"Serez...can you not be yourself for five minutes?" Katsu asked glancing at the laughing teen out of the corner of his eye as, he tried to calm his irate friend down.

"No, not really. Sorry Kat. I won't bug him anymore."

"Thank you."

"...But he makes it so easy."

"Serez!"

"Okay."


They sat in silence for about five minutes. Serez kept an eye on Kayra, the worry she had for her friend was shown clearly on her face, the teasing look from before had completely vanished. "Are you sure there's nothing we can do for her Aya?"

"Nothing that I can think of. If we knew for sure how she was being controlled in the first place then maybe..."

It seemed to get dark all of a sudden the lights from the school were the only thing that allowed them to see. The area around Kayra started to shift around violently, like it was being tugged by wind; though there was none. Her hair also started to whip around freeing itself from the hair tie it was in.

Kayra rose to her feet as if pulled by strings, her head hanging, chin resting against her chest. A dark aura formed around her feet, swirling. Tendrils of shadows spread out from the vortex. The surronding teens backed up not wanting the shadows to touch them.

"Kayra...are you okay. Kayra talk to me." Serez quickly got to her feet and edged around the shadows trying to get closer to her friend. Her grip on her launcher tightened when a scratchy laugh trickled past Kayra's lips.

They cringed at the sound, trying to block it out. Kiyoshi covered his ears with his hands and glared at the multicolor-haired girl.

"Sorry little girl. Your friend can't hear you anymore." The voice was male and had no business coming fom Kayra's mouth.

"Who the hell are you!" Demanded Amaya. She recognized the voice as the same one that had come from the other boy the day before.

"You'll find out...as soon as I take over your bodies."

The shadows engulfed Kayra, wrapping around her legs, arms and neck. At the same time the shadows also shot out, blasting into the four teens and knocking them away from Kayra.

Kiyoshi landed on his back in the grass and slid a few inches; grass stains covering the back of his shirt. Amaya and Katsu, landed on their sides on the cement part of the elementary courtyard, knocking the air from their lungs, tearing their jackets, and scraping up their arms. Serez also landed on the grass, landing in the area behind her friend. She pushed herself into a sitting position and looked over at Kayra.

The shadow's still had Kayra trapped, but she wasn't fighting to be free, she just hung there. Her chin still rested against her chest, her hair flew around her in all directions, and her pants made snapping sounds as they whipped around her legs violently.

Serez's eyes widened when they say what was hovering above Kayra. It was a huge dark angel. Dark Avangelion to be more precise; the sinister side of Kayra's usually benign Bit-Beast.

Its wings were black, and black waves of energy drifted off of them. Some were broken and drooped to the ground, while others were whole and twitched every now and then keeping the dark angel in the air.

Her red corset like top showed her shoulders, showing off the red marking that traveled from her neck down. The sleeves of her top were nothing but shreds. Under the red shirt was a black halter-top. The corset part of her top was pink and had black around the top, bottom, and middle. The tie at the back, started as red and as it went down faded from pink, then to gray.

The skirt the Angel Bit-Beast wore was the same as her top, red and shredded with black material underneath. Black gloves covered her hands and arms, except the thumb and pinky finger, showing the red markings that covered them as well. Her legs were covered with red and black striped socks; red flat-bottomed shoes covered her feet.

Matching bracelets hung from her wrists and ankles. Waist length red hair cascaded around her face, obscuring more markings that covered parts of her face, and hid eyes that Serez knew from past battles were a gray-blue.

The four teens scrambled to their feet and readied their launchers; they had a feeling that they were going to need them.
