Shitza: Yay, the keyboard works again!
Ray: So what was it this time, a beetle in it?
Shitza: You guys know its on batteries, and well… Over the last days it looks like me and my brother managed to bury the signal with stuff.
Kenny: Technically, couldn't you have thought of that before?
Shitza: Well… I didn't think…
Max and Ray: You didn't… think!
Kai: And I thought Tyson was an idiot.
Shitza: Okay, I know I'm not technical gifted, but still I know what I can write if you three don't shut up. After all, I have plenty of mousetraps left, just look at Tyson.
Tyson: (still fighting to get his off again)
Ray: When are you planning on letting him off?
Tyson: As soon as he stops teasing Max. After all, the guy has a date in this chapter and I thought it would be a good idea to make sure he wouldn't be able to interfere. Kenny, as Tyson will have to do the disclaimer next chapter, could you do this now?
Kenny: Sure, Shitza don't own beyblade, us or anything more then her OC's. She doesn't even own a beyblade.
Shitza: Now, lets get going with this. I can perhaps make a cliffhanger off it. Oh, by the way. I know this story says it contains fantasy, and the reason for that is because the following sequel will be very much fantasy. Yet this will only contain some fantasy, not so much.
Ps: If anyone know Zeo's last name, either review or e-mail me. I have been non successful in finding it and it will be necessary for the story. Until then, I have to make one up.
Chapter 7 Dark SecretsThe Bladebreakers sat waiting for the plane to land. It had been an exhausting day and in only a quarter of an hour they would land in Gothenburg again. Kai sat listening to Dranzer once more as the phoenix was telling him about how much she hated being locked in her blade all the time and that he really should start finding more opponents before she would go into a strike. Ray was attaching a new attack ring to his blade; his last battle had shattered his old one. Tyson and Daichi had thrown an eating competition, making the airhostesses pale. Hilary sat beside Kenny, watching what he had recorded of the matches. Max was nowhere to be seen, he hadn't been on the airport, yet they had received a message from him saying he would arrive later. The reason was that he still had about two hours of his date and the Black cats would go back to their ranch the next day. Kai hadn't liked the idea of one of his team members being away like this, but he knew it really didn't matter as long as Max would turn up at the practise tomorrow.
The plane soon landed and the Bladebreakers were shown back to the hotel. There they met the White Tigers, Zeo's whole team, The Majestics and Team Psychic. Team Psychic had agreed on staying until the start of the second part of the tour, then they would go home for a while, resting. Still this had been their best day of battling ever.
The five teams met down at the dining hall, enjoying themselves with drinking, eating and talking about the sport they all loved, Beyblade. By 7pm Max returned, dragging perfectly cheerful as ever. Actually he had a weird dreamy look upon his face, mirroring what had happened while he was gone.
He sat down by his friends, who all immediately started asking him what had happened and how it all had gone, those who didn't know soon found out all details. Max was in the lover's land.
This is what happened.
After sneaking away, during the middle of the match, max ran off to a nearby tree Tenesee had asked him to meet her. On his way he had changed to a green polo and jeans. As he nervously waited he wondered how this would go. Would she find him interesting or would she just back off? She was such a kind girl, he had seen that. Even if she was a hell out of blader.
Tenesee arrived five minutes later. She was still wearing the cowboy hat and her brown hair hung loose down her shoulders. She was also wearing a white dress, which made her look like an angel, in his eyes.
The two of them walked off into town, talking about the tournament, beyblading and things they really loved. They went down to a small café and ordered two cups of coffee. Max was quite shocked to see Tenesee pour down nearly as much sugar as he did. She hadn't seemed like one of the hyper persons as he used to be. Tenesee laughed as he told her and said she liked sugar, but somehow it rarely affected her to go over hyper.
Max opened up, told her very much about his team and how he had met them. He also told her about the past years as a Bladebreaker. Tenesee listened and told him about the ranch her family owned and how she had grown there on the back of a horse. Max was most impressed by this; he said he would love to learn how to ride on day. As they sat talking they said he would, during next summer, come up and visit her. After all he stayed with his mother most of the time anyway when it was summer.
Afterwards they went down to the harbour and walked around by all fishing boats and marines. They watched as the boats came and left. Nervously, as they sat on the bridge, Max moved his hand to hers. They both smiled.
As the evening slowly came and it was soon time to say goodbye Max did something he never knew he would have courage enough to do. Before she left to her own team he hugged her closely and kissed her on the mouth. He could have fainted when she kissed him back, yet he managed to stand. Before they got separated by the airport they switched phone number and promised to be with each other soon.
As max walked off to the plane, perfectly in love, he started to wonder what his team would think of this.
By the table everyone laughed and congratulated him. Hilary, Anouk, Salima and Mariah started crying. Not because it was sad, but it was so romantic. Queen looked untouched, yet she had her reasons.
Over it all, Salima hatched the idea of them having a game before they would go to bed. They all agreed, as it would be the classical Truth game where either you choose to tell the truth or you chose to take the consequences.
(Shitza: And with my poor memory I have completely forgotten what it was called. No fuss, I have the Swedish name tingling in my head, but the English name for it has completely been blown away.)
Only the bravest ones entered in this. All the Bladebreakers, minus Kenny, had joined followed by Kane and Salima, Anouk, Oliver and Enrique, Mariah, Kevin and Zeo, who had agreed.
They used one of the empty wine bottles to choose the first questioner. When it stopped spinning it ended on Mariah, who began.
"Kai!" she said.
Kai thought for a moment, truth to be told he hated being asked, but he loved asking since he could be a real bastard when it came to things. He sighed and said…
"Truth."
Mariah grinned. "Is there anyone you've had a crush on or even come close to?" she asked. Kai stared at her, how did she know?
"Yes!" he said. The others stared at him. Mariah was about to ask whom, but was silenced since it was only one question at a time.
"Polanski" Kai said evilly.
"Truth!" Oliver said immediately, not wanting to know what the Russian would make him do either way.
Kai smirked. "Tell us detailed how you managed to food poison Robert right before your match with the All Starz.
Oliver looked palely at the others. "Well, Robert had made me so mad the other day, saying how my style started to look pathetic. While I was making lunch for the team, I gave him an extra doze of out of date spawn into his soup. He didn't notice, and I regret it awfully, as it made him loose his match. Besides, how did you know?"
Kai smirked. "Robert surely asked if you had made the dinner, when I told him he hadn't he said you must have mistaken one of the ingredients off your soup earlier today. It wasn't hard to figure out, especially since Robert is an overgrown aristocrat."
Oliver sighed and looked at his sister. "Mon soeur! Pardon moi pour mes actions ridicule!" he said in French. (Shitza: Which means Sister! Forgive me for my ridiculous actions)
Enrique looked strangely at Oliver, then promised himself not to end up on the French man's wrong side. After all, Oliver cooked all of the Majestics food.
"Well, monsieur Ray then." Oliver continued.
"Consequences I guess." He said. Oliver thought for a moment, and then looked at Mariah. Ray had a feeling he knew what was about to happen.
"French Mariah, thirty seconds."
Unusually it was Mariah who first complained and threw a pillow at Oliver, who together with his sister laughed. Ray sighed, pulled Mariah gently towards him. Max took time as their lips met in a passionate kiss.
What happened then was that it took the two of them a further five minutes before they let go and returned to their spots. Everyone stared at them and from the silence they could hear Hilary and Anouk giggles. It was clear this had been deliberate.
"Kevin!" Ray said to the short boy, who chose consequence over truth anytime. "Go and pour some ice down the shirts of those two."
Kevin nodded, King, who was only watching the game, got up and fetched two bowls filled with ice that Kevin happily poured down the girls' spines. Both of them shivered and Kevin, Ray and Mariah had a good laugh. Yet it didn't solve why the kiss had lasted for five minutes and a half.
Next Kevin chose Kai once more, who once more chose truth. As it wouldn't be Mariah to question him he knew he could relax.
"You wear that scarf all the time, has it never caused you problems?"
Kai blushed, to everyone's confuse.
"Three times in all. I have tripped on it once, falling down the stairs when I was five. Once I almost strangled myself as it got stuck in the door, with me running. Third all those crazy fans seem to think it's funny to rip my head of catching me."
Tyson whistled and once more they broke out to laughter.
"Okay, Tyson."
"Consequence!" Tyson said without thinking.
Kai smirked. "You will be on a strict diet for the following week, which means no all you can eat, no such thing as sweets and no more to drink the water. Understand!"
Tyson gaped. He turned to Anouk, who choose consequence. "Slap Kai on the face, hard!"
Anouk giggled and did. With one loud SMACK Kai felt his cheek sting, but he was smiling. He had finally gotten one of the things he wanted, done.
Anouk chose Kane, who had to promise one date with Salima. Kane chose Daichi, who was set to pour down another bowl off ice down the poor girl's back. Anouk then chose Zeo…
"Consequence" the android said, slightly shocked of being chosen. Anouk smiled.
"Tomorrow when you wake up, you have to kiss the first girl you see."
Everyone turned their head towards Anouk. Oliver told them without opening his mouth that his sister didn't know about Zeo's conditions. Yet he also told them she would do anything to make sure this happened.
Zeo sighed and prayed that the girl would change her mind; after all he wasn't too popular around.
"Enrique!" he said. "Tomorrow you and that thing will go out on a date together, early in the morning."
Enrique nodded, yet he looked nervously at Oliver. After all Anouk was one of his best friends younger sister.
Enrique chose Daichi, who said Truth. "Why did your sister leave us?" Enrique asked.
Now everyone turned to Daichi, after all the Majestics and team psychic had been wondering the same question over and over again. The news about Her being Daichi's sister was shocking, yet now they could perhaps find some answers.
Daichi sighed, he hated this subject. "She didn't find you worthy, she never do. One loss is all there is needed for her to leave. I don't know really, she has changed so much I am wondering if this perhaps can be some kind of spell or something."
"Spell?" Salima asked.
"Well, in my village we have some different traditions, which follows with out weird clothes. As we are appointed guardians over bit beasts we have used different kinds of spells for thousands of years. I am sorry, I cannot tell you more. I swore once to let this remain hidden."
The others nodded, Zeo was deep in thoughts. 'Could these spells perhaps help him become human?' He would have to ask Daichi later.
Daichi stood outside, wearing a jacket over his usual clothes. He walked down the streets to the edge of the sea. This gigantic world of water he both feared and loved. He took a rock and tossed it as far as he could, why did life have to be so miserable.
"Kim, what did happen to you? Who made you like this?" he murmured.
He didn't notice the darkened figure that approached from behind.
"Daichi?"
He turned; to his surprise his sister stood there, only five metres away.
"Kim!" he said running over to her. To his surprise she embraced him into a hug. He hugged her back, not wanting to let go.
"I've missed you!" he said, tears flowing down.
"I know, somehow I've missed you too bro!" she said, also crying.
Daichi looked into her eyes, brown eyes that resembled her so well. They were filled with love and emotions, so unlike the pair of eyes he had stared into when he had gotten there.
"I know you have many questions bro, I just wish I had time to explain everything." She said. "I am not myself these days, I have one last goal to complete, and with the spells from the village I will not remain unless I finish them. This may be the last time I can look at you, as you know me. Tomorrow I will be just like you saw me before."
"So, she's controlling you?" he asked.
"Not fully, her powers over me vanish at night, yet they appear in the morning. You know what He did to me, when he cursed me like this. I am so happy you and your father got away before it all happened. I am so relieved no one had to see me change. He cast a demon inside me."
"But, what can we do to help?"
"You cannot help me bro, I have to do this myself. She helps me to stand, but as the sun is up she has full control over my mind. I must kill him to remain, send him back with that demon. All you can do is to protect yourself now I'm too weak to do. And one more thing, I want to see you win that fight, can't you do that bro? Win over the Elementals and gain the victory!"
Daichi smiled. "I will sis, I will."
Kin Dama smiled, it had been long since she had been able to talk to her brother properly, yet the spells that kept her sane also vanquished her powers over herself by daylight. She was weak, she knew she was weak, but she wouldn't give up this fight.
"Bro, tell me what has happened ever since we got separated. Tell me everything I have missed."
Zeo was walking towards the sea, once more thinking. The night was warm, yet he couldn't feel it. He had no such abilities as feeling either the wind nor the warmth from things. He felt so alone, and frightened.
As he passed the bridges and boats he heard someone not far away. He followed that voice and to his surprise he saw Daichi, talking to someone he had seen before. He knew that face, he had seen her before. He knew her as Phoenix.
Slowly he walked towards them, he knew he needed to speak to Daichi about his problems and he might as well do it right now. He just hoped they wouldn't get angry by him disturbing.
Kim suddenly turned her head, looking back.
"I guess someone is approaching." She said calmly.
Daichi looked up, he had been telling her about Justice Five. Quickly he took out his blade and launcher, no one would interrupt this moment of peace.
"Lower you launcher bro, it's a friend." Kim said calmly. Daichi did, utterly amazed by his sister's ability to read strangers. From the mists Zeo appeared.
"Hope I don't disturb!" Zeo said looking at Daichi, who took away his blade back to his pocket.
"You are lucky my sister can read strangers, you were about to go to the other world there for a moment." Daichi said looking down.
Zeo laughed, as if he would mind. He was a robot after all, he didn't even think there could be another world for him.
"I wouldn't be so sure of that, Mr Graham. After all, unlike most robots I've seen, yours have a soul. It's seems a bit lost, but it's still one soul. That changes a lot in ones fate."
Zeo was shaken. "How do you know?" he asked.
"I am able to read you like an open book, one ability I was born with. Yet I haven't been able to find out about the reason for the things that sorrow you. Please tell me, maybe we can help. It is after all what the village was supposed to do."
"So you're not…"
"Bit beast Capturers, not unnecessary. We do capture bit beast, but only when we find that the owner and its youngsters are incompetent on handling one. In other ways we try to figure things out in other ways because the beasts themselves aren't meant to be trapped into stones, they are creatures whom people know so less about."
Zeo smiled, he couldn't understand now what everyone had talked about before, but he really liked this girl. He sat down beside her.
"My father Zagart built me years ago, since his first son died in a car accident. For years I didn't know who I was, but after I met the Bladebreakers that truth was revealed and I have since that tried to become human. My father told me that ancient writings described that that once the four elements of Wind, Fire, Water and Thunder were reunited anyone's wish could come true. For a while I was after their bit beasts believing they were the answer, but as it is now, we try to find other ways. You brother mentioned earlier today about your village with its spells and wanted to ask him if he knew how…"
"How you would be able to gain the four elements without stealing bit beasts." The girl said laughing. "It's quite simple. All you have to do is to make the village priests borrow the exact four stones of elements. Daichi has one, but sorry to say he managed to leave it home. I used to have one of the ones we need, but it was taken from me. But I know that those things won't let you, as long as they have them. I suppose there is another way… I will come back with the exact things we will need, being something else then human is after all painful to ones soul."
Daichi smiled. "I could ask the team to let us borrow their bit beasts for this. I mean, it wouldn't take much strength from them."
"No, dragoon, Draciel, Driger and Dranzer's full power is more powerful then anyone could imagine. There's a reason why the Bladebreakers have to stay in their team."
Zeo smiled, happier then he had done for ages. "Thank you, both of you!"
The girl smiled too then she looked a lot sadder and went back to her feet. She had been sitting on a bench while listening to her brother.
"I have to go now, I have to get some rest for tomorrow before my bit beast once more have to penetrate my mind. I really hope we will be able to talk like this again, soon Daiku Chin."
Daichi smiled and hugged his sister again. She kissed his cheek before walking off into the mist. When Zeo hurried after her he found she was gone. He walked back to see what Daichi was doing and found that he was crying.
"Is anything wrong Daichi?" he asked.
"No, not really. It's just that I've missed Kim so much I can't believe she had to suffer so much. She's not even much older then me."
This came as a shock for Zeo. The girl he had seen had been so mature in her way of talking, he had guessed she was older then this, much older.
Max lay on the sofa, daydreaming about a special girl he had met and fallen in love with. Max usually wasn't optimistic to believe in this love at first sight, but this time he couldn't come up with another explanation. With a sigh he sat up and surveyed the room. Ray was sitting in an armchair, reading what looked like some kind of history book. Kai sat by the table reading the news, or trying to understand the news. Tyson sat in front of the TV, bored like hell, he couldn't understand anything they said. Hilary was knitting and Kenny was like always typing on dizzy, not giving his poor bit beast any rest.
Max smiled, he was with his family. Of course he still had his parents, but it wasn't the same. Three years before he had met the Bladebreakers his parents had gotten divorced. It had been awful for him, and his little sister Candy. He sighed, that poor girl hadn't been allowed to live for long. His sister was dead; she had fallen of a cliff the year before he battled Kai in Seaside Dome. Besides, a month later his grandmother had died, leaving after her Draciel to him.
Carrying Draciel felt like carrying a part of the ones he loved with him. He remembered when he had been six and Candy four. The girl had been playing with that necklace over and over again, sometimes just staring at it. He hadn't known then, but he knew now. Draciel had been talking with her, just like he communicated with him now. Ever since he had gotten Draciel, knowing the full secrets about him, he had asked his bit beast the same things. What he and Candy talked about for those endless hours. Draciel answered with a various supply of things.
His bit beast became a connection to his dead sister and grandmother. He still had his parents, but with them being divorced and all his life was split. Yet he wouldn't go insane or anything, Draciel was always there for him. And now that he had found Tenesee, who had during their date told him how she had lost her mother when she had been four, he felt he shared things and emotions with her.
Max sighed and took out his blade. Draciel glowed and then started humming for him. Max smiled, life was finally at peace.
Ray laid down the book he had been reading. He loved Chinese history and mostly history about the White Tigers, the clan he had been raised in. Ray had been a beyblader ever since he had been able to hold one, his mother had taught him the game. His father had like him, betrayed the village once and disappeared, yet very unlike him he had never returned. Ray had hoped that during his journeys he would be able to find him. But so far no luck. Leon Kon was as gone as you could be. Another thing was that once his father had left he had taken his older sister Lin with him. Lin was five years older then Ray, and Ray admitted he missed her a lot. Lin, as the oldest child in the village, had been the team leader for the White Tigers when they had started out, just like really young cocky bladers but still. He missed her like mad; he hadn't seen her for so long.
He only had one thing left from his sister and that was the Yin Yang bandanna he always wore. Yin had given him that when he only had been so much as three years old.
He closed his eyes and pictured his sister in his head, he used to do that whenever he felt alone in the world, which had happened mostly after he had left his village .His conclusion was that they looked rather alike, both off them had long black hair, wrapped up behind, pointed ears and teeth which gave them their famous cat like appearance. They had worn about the same style of clothes, if she was still alive he didn't know if things might have changed, but he was sure she hadn't changed much. Ray sighed, why did life have to be so unfair, why wouldn't he be allowed to find his sister. He had asked BBA and Dickenson if they knew anything, but they just said… "There is no such blader, Ray."
He sighed and picked up his blade from his pocket. 'Looks like we have to continue our search, Driger.'
The bit chip glowed in response. Ray put it down and relaxed, thinking of a certain pink haired girl, who had confused him greatly. Yet the more he thought the more he admitted to himself he really liked her. But he couldn't understand how he would be able to tell it to her. He had never done things like that before, somehow everything made him… nervous.
/Don't worry master, I am sure Galux and I can help you if you need/ Driger said in his head.
Ray smiled. 'I don't think that will be necessary Driger, yet do as you like.' he responded.
Inside his head he heard his bit beast laugh, before it started to purr, loudly. Ray laughed silently. First time after the ceremony when he had been given Driger, this had been the first thing the bit beast had shocked him with. Yet Driger was the Tiger, and his best friend.
Kai looked up from the newspaper he had been reading, to see what time it was. Then he turned back to continue reading once more. What few knew was that he had great language abilities and it had surprised his friends when he had gone off to speak Swedish with one of the BBA workers. Kai thought it was fun for once to shock his friends, he already knew about ten languages in all, and some dialogs in even more. In Biovolt Voltaire had hired workers to teach him French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, English and Chinese. He had known two other languages too from the beginning, as he was part Russian and part Japanese. He had also learnt Swedish and Danish, since two of the workers had come from Scandinavia and taught him their home language.
He knew he was gifted, he knew he had it in his blood. His mother had been gifted as well and he had learnt many dialogs from her. She had known as much as thirty different languages, something he knew he would never be able to, yet how many could speak ten? None as far as he knew.
He hadn't told this to anyone, and it was amusing to hear and understand ray, even if the Chinese teen had no clue. He was a person who wanted to know what people were saying, important or not. He rarely opened up for others, yet he could listen to when others did. He always listened to Dranzer, his bit beast. His father had given him Dranzer when he was four, two months before he went to Biovolt to train. Voltaire hadn't known first, but as soon as he found out that his son had given his grandson the bit beast Kai had been placed in even harder training. It was hard to think Voltaire once had owned Dranzer, but it was true. No matter how much or less Kai wanted to think about it Dranzer had always been in the Hiwatari clan. Which meant he had also been with Voltaire.
Kai listened to Dranzer's endless drilling. The bit beast somehow found it amusing to sing for him whenever he could. It was from Dranzer's powers and abilities that Black Dranzer had been created, but Kai had made sure that once the World Tournament in Russia was over, Black Dranzer had been destroyed for good. He had summoned the strength into Dranzer, building up his bit beast's power. Typical enough it hadn't been enough to defeat Dragoon and Tyson.
Kai got lost in the song, he thought back to the time his parents had been alive. He remembered his mother; from her he had inherited his calm attitude and tolerance. The blue hair he had also came from her. His father had been like most Hiwatari's. He always strayed for the ultimate perfection; he had the same coldness in his soul, yet good coldness as it was described. There existed good things in it. Hard to believe but it did.
Kai smirked, he took out one crumbled picture he always carried with him. In it he saw his parents from their wedding. His mother had been beautiful in the white dress and his father held her hand. He had grey hair, like's Kai's, and brown eyes. Kai missed them, but he knew why they were gone.
His parents wedding had been a tragedy. His parents' families had since hundred of years back been brutal enemies. When his father had met his mother they hadn't known at first from where the other one came, if they had known they would never had gone as far as they did. His father had married his mother and it had resulted with her giving birth to him. He knew his parents had loved him, they had died protecting him.
After all that Kai had been sent to Biovolt, his life had gotten sp hard he many times had wanted just to die. If he hadn't found his friends there he would surely. Everyone hated him being Voltaire's grandson and since they couldn't do anything on either Voltaire or Boris they hurt him instead. Lucky for him he had friends then, Tala had helped him, Spencer who was the largest of them had scared many of his foes away. Ana had also been there, she knew how herbs could heal even the most brutal cuts and bruises and she had often helped healing him, making him feel loved again. His grandfather couldn't show love to him, but his friends had made him feel like if he was in a family again.
He wondered what had happened to Ana, and he wondered what that strange girl was doing now.
Hilary sat knitting, watching the team, as they seemed to relax and do whatever they liked. Herself she liked sewing, knitting and embroidery. Her mother had taught her a lot.
Hilary, unlike the guys didn't have any tragic past; she only had a tragic present. The reason she followed the Bladebreakers wherever they went wasn't because she really love the sport, for her it would have been enough to just watch the fights on TV and then go and meet the guys when they were near to tow, as they often were. The reason was that only a few days after that she and Kenny had been kidnapped by those two mysterious men, the girls, her old friends, had evilly told her how weird she had gotten and how they couldn't tolerate her attitude. Maybe it was since she had gotten along with Tyson, she wasn't sure. She really liked Tyson… as a friend… yet whenever she thought about him there was always something that told her it was more behind it all.
Hilary sighed; she looked at each one of the Bladebreakers. They were really an odd bunch of friends, yet she couldn't help liking them for who they were. Max, the cheerful one who easily made them laugh, well except for Kai. Ray who was a real gentleman and a good friend. Kai, unsocial and cold but she knew he had a golden heart. Kenny, kind of a mystery to her, yet she guessed his sometimes weird behaviour was that he became very shy towards girls he liked. And Tyson, the guy who could, as much be her boyfriend.
She stopped her thoughts… boyfriend! Shaking her head she couldn't understand where that had come from. Sighing again she went back on knitting, happy to be around people who liked her as she was.
Tyson yawned, unusually enough he found watching TV was as boring as ever. He couldn't understand what they were saying.
Instead he took out his blade; maybe Dragoon could cheer him up. He found it strange that his bit beast had chosen him over everyone in his entire family. After all he wondered sometime s why it hadn't chosen grandpa or his brother Hiro. He knew people thought he was arrogant and loud mouthed.
/You are special master; don't let anyone say anything else. / Dragoon told him over and over again. It was the usual reply he got.
"Thanks pal!" Tyson said as Dragoon filled his mind with a rhythmic growl. Smiling he looked at the bit chip. Dragoon was one mysterious dragon.
Tyson closed his eyes, listened to the song dragoon was growling. It brought him back to memories of his mother, who died a year after he had been born. He didn't remember much, it was only with dragoon's help he could so much as remember her face. But he remembered one thing, two white hands holding him, and that feeling of being safe. Yet she had died shortly afterwards, of cancer. Hiro had told him the details of the rest.
Tyson dried the tears with the back of his hand. He had lived with his grandfather ever since. Hiro had followed their father to the excavation areas when he had been twelve. Tyson had only been seven back then. It was also Hiro who had taught him how to blade.
Everyone's gazes turned towards him as they saw one of their best bladers crying. They weren't sure of asking what it was about, they didn't know all of them shared dark pasts.
Zeo stood by the balcony, alone. King and Queen had gone of to the dark corners of the town to see if some of the more interesting bladers were awake. It was mostly those you learnt things from, not to mention could steal the best parts from.
Gordo was downstairs; he had been invited by the White Tigers for some night snack. Zeo had found a note upon the table; he was alone, yet it was only good. He needed to think.
He still couldn't believe what the girl, Kim, had told him. That she knew a way to make him human. Yet the task remained, they would need the Bladebreakers bit beasts for it, and that wouldn't be easy. He knew he also would have to tell his team tonight, it would come as a shock, but he knew they would understand.
Several kilometres away Kim sat on one hard bed, completely exhausted. She knew her strength was fading. She tried to light a candle with her hand, yet nothing happened.
"Ruyaka, please help me!2 she begged before laying down and drifting into a sleep filled with nightmares.
