Shitza: before we start I want you all to know that the Prologue to this story has been corrected. Which mean some details have been changed.

Secondly I've decided to quit the special little discussions with the BB characters. It doesn't stand to my usual way of writing, even if it could be fun, but I'm out of ideas. So instead there will be introductions and some starting notes. I don't think people will cry.

Thirdly, sorry this chapter took so long but I am very sceptical about it. I don't think I got it right, but I hope you enjoy.

Fourthly, the disclaimer: This also stands for every future chapter in case I forget it. I don't own Beyblade, the characters, the show, the manga or anything with it. I don't even own a blade.

Chapter 21 It is Decided, It has Begun

"THREE… TWO… ONE… LET IT RIP!"

The two blades landed in the dish and immediately started circulating and chasing each other. The two bladers smiled at each other as the match went on. The battle was intense as no one left enough room or space for a bigger attack to come out. The spectators were standing up waiting for the big blow.

They didn't however wait in vain. Two minutes into the match, after a lot of intense fighting, Dragoon suddenly sped away from Cerberus. Zeo took a step backwards not expecting it. Tyson smiled at the sight of his friend's confused expression. Dragoon began building up new winds.

"Go Dragoon! Let's finish him!" Tyson exclaimed. The blue Wind dragon roared inside the shielding storms it had created. The storms that both shielded it and attacked.

Zeo didn't hesitate to call out Cerberus. The canine bit beast growled coming out and immediately shrouded itself in dark flames.

"Dragoon, Master Hurricane Disaster! Pull him up from the ground!" Tyson commanded.

The winds flew and the plan seemed to work. Once in the air the bit beast would have no chance of survival. But no one thought of one thing. Cerberus could remain on the ground. He had claws.

"Cerberus, Death Extract!" Zeo called out. The canine bit beast roared again and swirling dark flames soared from the bit beast's body. The flames flew to touch Dragoon at the spirit's heart. Tyson shielded his eyes. Dragoon however awaited the attack… something was going on.

Tyson looked at his magnificent bit beast that just stood there, awaiting the horrible move.

"Don't you have more faith in me? Don't you believe in my powers? My friend, once you stormed into battles, unafraid of what would happen. Has the time changed your courage? Don't you believe you can win?"

"Dragoon, it's not like before. I am older now, and maybe Zeo and his gang are better for this? Maybe…"

"Ah, Maybe… With all these maybe it's no wonder you are so unsure of yourself. Master and friend, you don't need to worry. There is a move I must show you that is far more stronger then any Death."

"What is it?"

"The Immortal Wind's Howl my friend. The attack that no death can reach."

Zeo had no idea what had happened between the bit beast and his master but he knew something must have occurred. Slowly he reached out for his own Bit Beast presence. Cerberus was equally as confused as him. Soon as Tyson took away his arm and smiled at him he could feel the sweat trickling down his spine. Something had indeed happened that had changed the whole situation.

Tyson suddenly burst out into a soft laughter, shocking both Zeo and the canine bit beast. What in the world was going on? One moment the Deadly attack from Cerberus seemed to finish them off… then.

"Dragoon, Immortal Wind's Howl!"

Three huge tornadoes erupted from the bit chip, each one as big as the old Phantom hurricane attack. One of the sucked up the black flames from the canine's attack. The second lifted the defenceless bit beast into the air and the third attacked from above, almost squashing it. Cerberus cried in pain before retreating into the blade. The blade stopped spinning and the spectators erupted in cheers.

It was like Hilary's plan, but better.

"Great work Tyson!" Ray said once the blue haired blader sat down among his friends.

"Yes, that was so cool!" Max shouted hyper and happy.

Daichi jumped up and down celebrating and dancing.

"Where on Earth did you learn that move, it's probably over five times as powerful as the Master Hurricane Disaster. You blew out all of our data!" Kenny said holding Dizzy in his lap.

Hilary beamed and kissed him on the cheek. Tyson blushed slightly from all the attention.

"I have to admit it was impressive." Kai said. The two-toned haired teenager stood like always some feet from the rest of the team but the expression on his face was unusually warm. He just stood there from old habit, for everyone knew how much nicer he had started to become.

From the other side of the stadium Zeo smiled at his team. He looked back at the Bladebreakers who sat happily celebrating their win.

Up in the stands the judges were discussing the outcome and what would happen now. After all the rules said fifteen matches, only fifteen matches. But it was a draw; they had not completed the semi final. But they couldn't disobey the laws.

Zeo whispered something to his teammates who all nodded. They didn't seem to like whatever he had said but they didn't complain.

The turquoise haired teen walked back to the dish. One sole spotlight turned to him and the hall went quiet. Everyone's gaze turned to him.

"On behalf of my team I must thank for us. It has been a wonderful tour and we are happy for having been invited. But we won't continue. We competed to clear out our names and show for the world we are not any bad guys. So we will this once let the Bladebreakers have an easy win. Only this time. We hope to see you next time in the World Tournament where we will finish this."

People gasped as Zeo stepped down and walked out, closely followed by his teammates. The Bladebreakers looked at each other, equally confused. They had won and they had won easily.

Tyson looked after the team and some seconds later he nodded towards his friends to follow. Something didn't feel right, not after what Raya had told them. They knew Zeo had said the truth but probably not all of it. They knew people would wonder about their disappearance so they left Kenny behind to finish the speech for them.

They finally caught up with Team Zeo by the entrance. The four teens were led by Zagart back to a black limousine.

"Zeo! Zeo! Wait up!" Tyson called. The turquoise blader turned and smiled.

"So we meet again, sooner then expected." He said teasingly.

"Zeo, you have some serious explanations to do you know. Why are you and your team quitting?" Ray asked.

The remaining three members of the team giggled slightly. "It's no big deal." Zeo explained. "Just that we figured out that things in this tour is way from the usual. And we are not going to let our bit beasts get stolen tomorrow. Besides, from what I've heard, you are the one who probably will be able to beat them."

Things went swirling inside the Bladebreakers' heads as the captain continued the story of how Kim had entered their changing room right before the battle and told them to loose. No one had liked it and they thought of ignoring it until they finally saw the draw. There they decided to follow, even if they hated it.

"Did sis really do that?" Daichi asked.

Queen rolled her eyes, murmuring; "Sometimes it's really hard to see those two can be related."

Kai stared back coldly at her. He didn't say anything, but knowing the girl he couldn't.

Zeo and the team went back and got into the car. The Bladebreakers stayed for some brief seconds watching their last friendly opponents leave. Now there was only one battle left and for that they had one weapon. They remembered Daichi giving them some weird shards in their last battle against the team. Well, now was the time to use them.

They turned back to the stadium and walked back to meet a most distressed Chief in the hallway. The short boy looked as if he had been running from a ghost. He was pale and frightened.

"What's the matter Chief?" Tyson asked him.

"We have trouble. Your sister, Kim, she is back there and practically tearing the place apart. She is caught up in the hell of a match against the Elementals and every person with a head is fleeing."

Daichi hurried back. The rest hurried after. Even the Chief returned, which came as surprise thinking of his speech before.

The description the Chief had given them was nothing compared to what really must have happened. The stands were empty, as people had fled, the floor round the dish dusted and in some spots burning. The lights were out as the catastrophe had cut the electricity. By the dish however stood two persons. The evil and dark man who still had the Elementals under his control and the girl who desperately struggled for her freedom.

"Sis!" Daichi shouted.

The girl didn't seem to hear him, so concentrated and locked up in the battle. Her golden Phoenix bit beast attacked the black blade the man used. Veymo Thon did no longer own his own bit beast having lost it too his daughter, but he didn't seem to need any. The black blade was glowing in a green ghostly pale light and it moved with its own life.

But the two fighting warriors weren't all alone. Behind Veymo stood the ten members from the team Elementals. Raya stood among them, being the only one wise enough to look a bit nervous. She kept looking over to Kim, to see if the girl was still standing. The girl had several bruises and cuts while Veymo remained unhurt. She was loosing, it was clear to see. Her blade kept wobbling and spinning into other obstacles. She looked close to fall and she breathed heavily.

"We have to do something!" Hilary said. "We can't let her loose to things like them."

Kai and Ray nodded at each other before taking out their launchers. But before they managed to do something Daichi had already jumped into the fight. The yellow blade soared into the dish and landed perfectly.

"Daichi?" the girl gasped.

"Sis, obviously you will need some help in this!" Daichi said jumping up by her side. Besides, this might be the only chance we'll have to defeat him."

The girl looked tiredly over to her little brother before smiling. "Thank you brother, I thought I was done for."

Daichi smiled. "No problems."

The two blades glided in beside each other. The black one responded by trying to separate them, which seemed impossible. They were connected.

From the floor the Bladebreakers watched in awe at their friends incredible battle. Even if it was hard to see similarities between the two of them they now could see some similarities in their battle. Daichi and Kim did the same and exact movements and seemed to be able to read each other's thoughts.

"Sparkle Tornado!" The two said together. Their blades closed up to each other and formed a twister glittering in what seemed like stars. The twister suddenly rebounded upon the dish, sending pieces of it flying. The dust cleared and Veymo seemed to be angrier then ever.

"It is useless the two of you. You girl is a mistake I should have cleared years ago."

Kim looked as if her breath had been caught up in her throat ready to choke her. Daichi however clenched his fist and spoke angrily.

"The only mistake here is you, and we are going to remove you from this earth. No one talks like that about my sister."

Veymo smirked evilly. "She is my daughter as well and through the laws I have the rights to claim her and do whatever I want with her."

Daichi clenched his fist even more, so a drop of blood ran down from his hand. "You bastard!"

At the floor Ray heightened his launcher again, but Kai stopped him. "This is not our concern!" he told them. "This is something the two of them have to do."

"What, but we have to?"

"No, this is their doing. We will have to make sure however those aren't doing anything." He pointed at the remaining Elementals. "I don't trust them the slightest and knowing them they would do more then anything to help their leader."

"How can you know that?" Hilary asked.

"I've been in a likely situation at the Abbey. Even if you hate you leader you defended him. Not because you wanted but because you knew if you didn't he would beat you badly. The same goes for them. If you look close enough you will see what I mean."

They turned and looked. Firstly they saw nothing, but once they really looked they saw something. Six of them team was looking at what could have been a wall. Their faces bore no emotions. By the remaining four one, Raya, looked dead frightened over her friend instead of her leader. Two looked at the battle, but their bodies were trembling of fear. The last one was the only one who really seemed to care about his leader.

"If we could get rid of their leader then I know we could win this with a blast."

"Does it mean that if they win we'll win but if they loose we'll loose?" Max asked.

"No Max, it means we will have to find out how we'll separate the dog from his bone."

The battle went on, for what seemed to be hours. The sister and brother did their best but none of their usual attacks seemed to work. Veymo's black blade easily made trash of them.

"Bring their souls to me oh dark blade from the Galaxy. Bring them down to destruction. Let them face the endless deaths that awaits them."

Daichi and his sister backed some steps of fear. Veymo had just thrown their worst fears before them. He didn't just intend to hurt them; he wanted to kill them now at this once. The two attacking again. "Meteor Dance!"

The air over the dish darkened and the two blades jumped into the swirling darkness. One second later they bombarded, burning, down again and crashed into Veymo's blade. The black blade landed outside the dish.

"Impossible!" The leader said. Daichi cheered and the girl, Kim, smiled.

"Looks like we won!" Kim said happily. Daichi nodded smirking. He hugged his sister lovingly around the waist.

Veymo however smiled and took out an evil black stone from his pocket. The stone glowed and Kim stepped back. This stone was the same one that had cursed her, leaving her almost dead on the streets. But before he had any time to utter a new spell the stone shattered, the curse was broken. The man gasped as the shards fell to the floor.

There was a glow around the girl's body and she gasped as well. The curse finally left her, flowing from her body towards the galaxy. Daichi too gasped, for he couldn't believe his eyes.

It was gone… it was finally gone…

Kim smiled… looked lovingly at her brother, who knew for the first time in weeks it was only she and not a bit beast who stared. But his happiness ran away as the now exhausted girl slumped to the floor.

The Bladebreakers saw the scenery and hurried over to them. Veymo laughed evilly, telling them she would never be back. She could never enjoy her freedom. Daichi growled angrily and made an attempt to go after him. Fortunately Tyson and Max restrained him. Kai and Ray took the girl and the team made their way to the nearest hospital.

As they hurried to leave Raya followed their steps with her eyes. She looked at Veymo, eyes filled to the brim with hate. If she could and would have had the courage to she would have killed him at that spot.

'And we all thought it was over, but it looks like things have barely begun.'

Daichi sat on a chair beside his sister as she lay on the hospital bed, still out cold. He held her hand in his, watching her like a hawk. Plenty of machines stood around the bed making sure she was still alive and healthy, all though she didn't respond to anything anymore.

Hilary sat beside him. Even if she didn't know the girl as well she was still concerned. A father who did things like this to his only child must have been psychopathic and she wished more then anything to find out more about her.

Not too far away Max and Tyson stood, looking glum and at the same time disgusted. They both were thinking about the battle, but the more they did the more they really started to get disgusted by the actions.

Ray stood by the window, opposite of Kai. His face showed nothing more then determination. He wanted to beat the snout out of this guy, and that fast!

Kai, who was the only one apart from Daichi who had known Kim wore nothing more or less then hate at his pale face. He often looked back at the girl only to remember a time back in Biovolt where things had been different. She ha been so innocent in those days he wondered what had happened to her.

Daichi sighed taking a piece of wet cloth to put on her forehead. His eyes were red from crying and his soul was tired from worrying.

Not to far away, on the top of the building opposite, two members of the Elementals stood. One was Anto of Wind the second Lei of Water.

"So they are cracking, just because of that thing. We will have loads of fun tomorrow, breaking them." Anto said grinning.

"So we will. Come on, let's go back. It will be a big day tomorrow. A big day for us that is!" Lei whispered.

And as the sun set the two warriors disappeared. No one knew however what would come. For as the sun would rise again things would indeed heat up, and nothing would ever be the same.

To Reviewers:

fastblurd: I am happy you liked it. Hope you liked this chapter as well.

sweet morbid: I am sorry this wasn't so soon, but I still hope you liked it.

End Notes: Not much to say, it took me ages to write this. Also, somehow I have mislaid all my notes and drawings for this. Better go looking for them.

Also, there is five more battles planned, but I am probably not going to be as detailed as I've been now. Truth to be told I guess I am slightly boring just writing beybattles. Don't worry and have faith in me. The Sequel will hold fewer battles, more real life action, mystery and romance.

Hope everyone enjoys their summer. I am!
