Chapter 1 – Bad Night's Sleep

For the third time that night, Tyson Granger sat bolt right in bed, chest heaving and body soaked with sweat. His eyes felt wet, had he been crying? He had been crying in his dream, yes, but… He took a few deep breaths to try to calm himself and tried to recall the dream. This one was different from some of the others he had had before. Darkness, footsteps, a scream, a pounding in his head, a man – or was it a monster? – a sense of hopelessness. That's all he could remember. He shook his head slowly and lay back down. He glanced at the digital clock on his nightstand; its neon numbers spilling soft green light over the polished chestnut colored wood. 4:50 a.m. is what it said, effectively earning a frustrated sigh from Tyson. It wasn't fair! These stupid dreams were robbing him of his much-needed sleep and he didn't even know what they meant! He groaned and turned over on his side. He was going to get some sleep tonight if it was the last thing he did! After a few minutes, he finally went to sleep only to be awakened by yet another nightmare about an hour later.

Tyson slowly trudged down the stairs from his bedroom to the kitchen. He estimated that he had gotten somewhere between ten to thirty minutes of peaceful sleep. The logical thing to do would have been to get some more sleep instead of coming downstairs but he couldn't have went back to sleep even if he had wanted to – and he really wanted to.

The delicious smell of chocolate chip pancakes wafted through the air and reached his nose. Any other day he would have been in the kitchen and finished with five or six plates of food in seconds; however, any other day he would have gotten more than thirty minutes of sleep. He entered the kitchen and was promptly greeted by his sister Kathleen.

"Good morning, sleepy head!" Kathleen said cheerfully. (A/N Kathleen isn't really Tyson's sister but he doesn't know that yet.)

Tyson muttered a small "Morning," as he pulled out a chair and sat down heavily.

"Bad night's sleep?" she asked knowingly.

He nodded slowly. She had taken to asking him that whenever it seemed like he didn't get enough sleep. Lately, she had also started sleeping with him. She knew about his nightmares and was determined to help him in any way she could. Actually, Tyson discovered that he found it quite comforting to wake up and find her curled up next to him. It was definitely the only thing that let him sleep at night sometimes.

His grandfather, also known as Grandpa Granger or Grandpa by Tyson and Kathleen, set a plate of pancakes in front of him. "Ready to go my man?" he asked.

Tyson, who by this time had already finished a third of his breakfast, stopped his fork in mid-air and looked up at him questioningly. "Wha?" he said around a mouthful of pancakes.

Kathleen got up and walked behind his chair. "Did you forget already, Tyson?" she asked as she put his cap on his head. She considered him a moment before turning the hat backwards the way he liked it. She had taken to doing that as well. She believed that his cap was lucky and it was the reason he won the world championships twice in a row. As unlike him as it sounds, he often forgot his cap in his room or on the kitchen table and would have to go back to get it if Kat didn't beat him to it.

"Forget wha-?" he mumbled.

Kat rolled her eyes at him sarcastically. "Duh," she said lightly tapping on his head. "Kai and the others are coming over, remember?" She paused, then a dreamy look came over her face. "Oh, Kai…," she sighed. If it wasn't obvious already, Kat had a huge crush on Kai, but then again, who didn't?

Tyson thought for minute, and then realization quickly dawned on him. 'That's right,' he thought, 'my team is supposed to come over to train today.'

Even as the thought occurred to him he hadn't really comprehended it. He shrugged and resumed eating. A few seconds later, however, his eyes widened with understanding. My team.

"My team!" he cried. He gulped down the rest of his breakfast and rushed up the stairs to get dressed. "Why didn't anyone tell me?!" he yelled from his room.

"We thought you knew," Kat called up to him. "I mean, c'mon, Ty, how could you forget something like that?" she asked incredulously.

He grabbed Dragoon and his launcher from the desk drawer and put them in his pocket. He ran down the stairs, fully dressed, just as the doorbell sounded.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Tyson yelled from the stairs. He jumped the last couple of steps and made for the door, but Kat got there first.

"Hi, Ka-," she stopped. It wasn't Kai or any of the other Bladebreakers. She had never seen this guy before and got a bad vibe from him, like he was up to no good or something. 'Maybe he's one of Tyson's other friends,' she reasoned. She felt Tyson walk up behind her, she also felt him tense against her. He had gotten the same feeling she had when she first saw him.

The man in front of them wore a long black cloak, similar to the one Ozuma had worn when he and Tyson first battled. He had his hood up making it impossible to make out any identifiable features; only his mouth could be seen. Kat felt her brother's hand on her shoulder. Tyson spoke softly but with a definite edge in his voice – the result of hanging with Kai for so long. "Who are you and what do want?"

The man smiled and slowly raised his head to meet his eyes. Tyson gasped. His eyes… they were – blood red.

Once again, if you want the next chapter you have to review and as always flames are welcome but only constructive criticism if you would.
