Warnings/Notes: This will be shounen ai, mainly Tyson x Kai, but I may add hints of Rei x Max later on (I'm not sure yet).
I'm sorry if some of the scenes where the guys are bladeing are really crappy, but I've never written any before. But I tried my best! Really! (Though it might be a bit hard to tell --;;)
And in this chapter you get some villains! You can't have a story without evil doers!
And just so you don't get confused…
People speaking is like this "……"
People thinking is like this '…….'
Disclaimer: Sigh, I don't own Beyblade, but I sure wish I did. Maybe some kind-hearted person will give it to me for Christmas! --; yeah, in my dreams.
Be My Saviour, and I'll be Your Downfall
Chapter 7
Kenny, Max and Rei managed to catch up with Kai and Tyson as they got to the Beystadium.
Much to their surprise, they got there just on time.
They went inside, and Max went straight over to the dish where his opponent was waiting.
"Hi! I'm so sorry we're running a bit late!" Max smiled warmly at the guy.
The guy just sneered at him.
"Now that the Bladebreakers are here, just in time might I add, we can get this match underway! First up we have Max against Kereen!" said Jazzman.
Max and Kereen got their blades ready.
"3, 2, 1….LET IT RIP!"
The two blades flew into the dish.
They clashed a few times, before Max called Draciel, who slammed Kereen's blade away.
"AND MAX IS THE WINNER!"
The crowd cheered, and Max grinned as he walked over to the others.
"That was too easy guys! If they are all that easy to beat, we won't have to worry about any side effects on Tyson's bladeing skills."
"I hope so, but we still should be careful, you never know," warned Kenny.
"Don't be a worry wart! Everything will be fine, Dragoon and I can run rings around these guys!" exclaimed Tyson nearly jumping off his seat in anticipation of his match.
'We still should be careful Tyson.'
"You really think so?"
"Yes."
"What does Kai think?" asked Max confused.
Tyson blinked, "Huh? Oh nothing,"
No one looked convinced.
"Isn't it Rei's turn?" asked Kai, breaking the silence.
"It sure is! Go get 'em tiger!"
"Ha ha, very funny Tyson."
"What?"
'I think he thought you were making a joke about his bitbeast.'
"But I wasn't!"
'I know that, but do they?'
"I don't think so."
Max, Kenny and Rei all stared at Tyson weirdly.
"Tyson………are you….. alright?" asked Max tentatively.
Rei frowned, "Are you having a conversation with yourself?"
"Huh? NO! I was……….I was, um…………"
"Rei are you going to go blade or what?" asked Kai sounding annoyed.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that!"
Everyone sweatdropped.
"That is the reason why we're here you know."
Rei blushed and walked over to the dish.
'Thanks Kai! You saved my butt again!'
'Unfortunately I think it might be becoming a habit.'
'What do you mean, UNFORTUNATELY?'
'Never mind, just stop talking to yourself.'
"I'M NOT TALKING TO MYSELF! I'M TALKING TO YOU!"
Everyone in hearing distance sweatdropped.
"Uh, Tyson? Are you sure you're ok?"
'Yeah I'm fine'
"…………………….."
'Mouth Tyson.'
"Oops, um, I'm fine guys! ……………………….." everyone looked at him doubtfully, "…………….really!"
Still looking dubious, Max and Kenny turned and watched Rei.
"I'm sure their not telling us something!" Kenny whispered to Max.
Rei walked confidently over to the dish.
'This should be a piece of cake.'
Ignoring Tyson yelling something about talking to himself, he calmly faced his opponent.
The said opponent grinned at him nastily, "Names Randolf, what's yours kitty cat?"
Rei glared, "Kitty Cat?"
"Sure kitty cat, your bitbeast is Drigger isn't it?"
"What the hell does that have to do with you calling me KITTY CAT?"
Randolf shrugged, "Suits you, I guess."
"My name is REI! Is that too hard for you to remember? It is pretty long for someone of your brain capacity!"
Randolf smirked, "No, it isn't too hard, but KITTY CAT is such a better name than Rei."
Rei growled, "You are SO going down!"
"I'd like to see that."
Jazzman decided that this would be a good time to start the match, "3, 2, 1……….LET IT RIP!"
As soon as Drigger got into the dish, it sped towards Randolf's blade.
"Dodge this RUDOLF!" 'I'm feeling Christmassy --;;'
Randolf frowned, "You're going to pay for that kitty cat!"
In the shadows behind Randolf, a woman was standing next to Kereen.
"Name calling, how immature can they get."
Kereen said nothing.
"You're not still depressed after your complete and utter failure."
"I cannot express how sorry I am. I didn't think he would be that strong, otherwise I would have used the power of Kanden."
"It is of no importance whether we win or lose. A victory on the dish is not what we're after and you know that."
"Yes, mam."
"One of the two that we suspect have united, will have to blade. And that is when we'll confirm our suspicions."
"Yes, mam."
"And when he reveals them both, we'll know for sure………………………….and we'll have them where we want them."
She smiled in the darkness, 'Yes, their power will be MINE!'
Infuriated Rei called Drigger out of his blade, "DRIGGER! SHOW THIS LOSER THAT THIS CAT HAS CLAWS!"
Drigger rose out of the blade and headed towards Randolf's blade.
Randolf smiled, "RANTAN! SHOW THIS GUY WHO THE LOSER OF THIS MATCH REALLY IS!"
An explosion of darkness covered the dish, and out of it emerged a grey light.
"It's time to show you that your Drigger really is a kitty cat compared to Rantan!"
Rei could only look on in horror as Drigger was pushed back, and out of the dish.
Randolf smirked, "And that is no one EVER messes with ME!" he started to walk away, "You better tell your last teammate to say his prayers, 'cause he's up against Zianna."
"REI!" Max ran over to him, "Are you alright? That guy totally overpowered you!"
Randolf turned back and looked at Max, "You got lucky kid, Kereen underestimated you and didn't release his full power, if he had, you would had lost too."
Max glared at him, but Randolf just turned and walked away.
Max and Rei walked back over to the others.
Rei sat down on the bench.
"Rei?…………Are you alright" asked Kenny.
"……………..he……….he came out of nowhere and got me, it was so fast………..I never saw it coming."
Kenny looked at Tyson worried, "Are you sure you'll be able to do this? I think that it would be better to forfeit than get Dragoon permanently damaged……."
"FORFEIT? Are you crazy? I'd never do anything like that!"
"IT'S BETTER THAN HAVING DRAGOON DESTROYED!"
"HE WON'T BE DESTROYED!" Tyson turned to Max and Rei, "You think I can do it, don't you?"
Rei and Max glanced at each other and then back at Tyson.
"Randolf totally kicked Rei's arse, no offence Rei, and if this bond has affected your skills, than I really don't think it's a good idea for you to go out," said Max looking a bit guilty for not siding with him.
Rei nodded.
Tyson couldn't believe them, how could they think he would lose?
"Good luck Tyson, you'll probably need it."
Tyson gazed at Kai surprised, "You mean it?"
"Well, I seriously doubt that you're going to forfeit, are you?"
"Well no…………………"
"Then hurry up and get out there before you're disqualified!"
Tyson grinned and ran off.
Kai went and sat down.
Max looked at Rei and Kenny, "This is starting to get scary."
Rei nodded, "I know, Kai, encouraging Tyson? I thought I'd never live to see the day."
"I never even thought of it."
Tyson walked up to the dish and his opponent.
It was a woman, who was definitely older than him, tall, tanned, and had long black hair.
She smirked at him, "Get prepared to lose boy."
Tyson smirked confidently, "Ha! That's what you think lady, Dragoon and I will blow you away!"
She rolled her eyes, "I think not."
They both got ready to launch.
"3,2,1………LET IT RIP!"
"GO DRAGOON!"
"Destroy him."
Tyson's eyes widened as her blade sped towards dragoon.
"Dragoon, get out of the way!"
Her blade missed Dragoon, and started to circle the dish.
"Very impressive boy, I see you do have some skill at least."
"My name is Tyson! And who are you? I've never seen or heard of you before!"
"My name is not important, however, I will tell you, and you shall fear it forever! My name is…….Zianna."
"Well Zianna, you're going down! Dragoon, get her!"
Dragoon raced towards Zianna's blade, but it dodged, turned around and slammed into Dragoon.
Kenny watched the match anxiously, "I told him not to go out!"
"At least the bond hasn't affected his bladeing skills," said Max cheerfully.
"BUT HE'S STILL LOSING!"
"I know, but……………I still think it could be a lot worse."
"She's so powerful. I don't think he can take much more of this," said Rei.
Kai said nothing, but he was worried.
Dragoon was taking hit after hit from Zianna's Beyblade.
"I know you can do this Dragoon, just hang in there buddy."
"All your efforts are futile, I will win this."
"DRAGOON WE CAN BEAT HER! I KNOW WE CAN!"
Dragoon emerged from its blade.
"THAT'S THE STUFF! GET HER!"
Dragoon managed to knock Zianna's blade around a bit.
"Very impressive. How about we raise the stakes a little."
"How?" asked Tyson.
'Don't do anything she says Tyson, she's obviously trying to trick you!' said Kai urgently.
Tyson mentally brushed his voice aside, 'Later Kai, I'm busy at the moment!'
'Tyson! Listen to me!'
"If I win, I get Dragoon, if you win………….I'll tell you how to break your bond with your teammate."
Tyson stared at her surprised, "How do you know about that?"
Zianna smiled, "I have my ways."
"I'm not deciding anything until you tell me!"
"Fine, I felt it."
"Felt it?"
"The power that bonded you is very strong, anyone sensitive to it could have felt it a mile away. So, will you take my offer?"
"Well…………….."
'Tyson it's obviously a trick!'
'But don't you want to undo this!'
'Of course I do! But the odds are against you! You'll lose Dragoon!'
'I WILL NOT! Do you really think I'll lose? Have faith in me!'
'You aren't exactly beating her at the moment, are you?' said Kai sounding faintly annoyed.
Tyson growled and Kai could feel his anger through the bond, 'I'll show you Kai. I can do this!'
'No Tyson, don't!'
Tyson ignored him.
"It's a deal."
"Good," she paused and smiled, "………….You should have listened to him, you know."
"Huh?"
"Kai isn't it? The one you're linked to? You're going to lose your bitbeast."
"I WILL NOT!"
"Don't be so sure boy," she looked at her blade, "Finish him."
"Damn it Tyson!"
Rei, Max and Kenny all looked at Kai.
"What?" asked Rei.
Kai frowned, "He just bet on Dragoon that he will win this match."
"WHAT! WHY DID HE DO THAT!" yelled Kenny.
"I'm not sure."
"How could he do something like that? He's losing!" said Max.
Rei looked at Kai, "How did you know?"
"Pardon?"
"How did you know about the bet?"
"I just did, ok."
Rei looked annoyed, "There's something you're not telling us!"
"Now is not the time."
They all looked at the dish, it looked like Zianna was about to go in for the kill.
"WHAT CAN WE DO?" wailed Kenny.
"Nothing, we can only watch," said Max grimly.
Kai suddenly leant back heavily against the wall as a wave of heat washed over his body, accompanied by feeling kind of light headed.
Tyson could only watch on in horror as Zianna's blade charged towards Dragoon. There was nothing he could do, if he dodged she would just come at him again as she did before.
'DRAGOON! I'M SO SORRY! I………..I should have listened to Kai.'
Kai panted slightly, though nobody around him noticed as they were too engrossed in the match.
He felt so weird.
'DRAGOON! I'M SO SORRY! I………..I should have listened to Kai.'
Kai froze.
He could feel him.
The pain and anguish that Tyson was feeling, the horror of knowing that he was about to lose his bitbeast.
And something inside him snapped and all he could feel was heat.
Zianna closed in for the kill.
She smiled as she knew there was nothing he could do.
Suddenly she felt something, she turned her attention to the place where the other Bladebreakers were sitting.
'Yes, he's going to do it!'
Tyson's eyes widened as he felt something from Kai.
It felt like something was being transferred between them…………………
And some people in the stadium screamed as there was an explosion of light.
TBC………
