Chapter 5:

..The beyblade

The bloody blue beyblade

But most important, Kai's blade.

Chapter 6: Black leads to dark

The three Bladebreakers stood in mute silence. Even the wind had began to blow at a hushed whisper, as if it sensed the mood of the situation. The usual chirping of the birds was replaced by muted silence, and even the sky almost seems to darken at the mood. The three of them stood speechless, and it was only broken when Tyson had lost his balance from the crouch and feel on his back. Max had lost his cheery mood, and just continued to stare off into space. Ray looked over at Tyson, and couldn't even bear to look at the blade.

Tyson let his head fall and his dark navy blue hair shielded his eyes from the scene, away from the truth. Large silvery tears managed to break free from Tyson's lashes and slid down his chin. He silently let his emotions wash over him, and continued to let his tears fall. Max walked over to his saddened friend, and placed his arm around his shoulders. Ray finally broke away from his trance, and picked up the blade. It felt oddly warm in his hand, almost as if it was reassuring him in a way.

Max and Tyson finally managed to get to their feet, and walked over to Ray. Suddenly a barely audible grunt was heard. They turned to face the corner, and just around the grey asphalt, there was a hand! Tyson jolted backwards in surprise, and bumped into Max. The figure came around the corner and the three of them gasped.

It was Kai! Ray rushed over beside his team captain, as he kept a grip on the wall for support. Tyson eyed him from beside Ray and saw that there were various cuts that ran across his body. His clothes were torn beyond repair, and his usual black outfit was entirely dyed red. His grey hair shadowed his eyes, and his head was bowed down lowly. "Kai are you ok!" Asked Ray worriedly, who was the first by his side. Tyson and Max were on either side of Ray, and sighed happily in disbelief. "Kai, are you ok…?" Asked a very concerned Max.

"Kai..?" Tyson asked.

But before he got to finish his sentence, Kai's grip on the wall had slipped, and he fell forward into Tyson's outstretched arms.

"KAI!" Questioned Tyson, who was asking in a very loud tone. Ray and Max were beside Tyson, trying to help hold the limp form of their captain. Kai was heavily leaning on Tyson, and Tyson was almost tipping with the extra weight. Man for someone who doesn't eat a lot, he sure weighs a ton! Tyson thought as he gladly accepted the help from Ray to help lift Kai. "Whew.." Tyson gasped as he was glad that he could breathe again.

"Come on Tyson! Stop lagging and help bring Kai inside!" Ray yelled urgently. "Yeah Tyson come on!" Max urged. "Hmph…you wouldn't be saying that if you had to be the one carrying.." Pouted Tyson. Max gave him his trademark grin, and shrugged. Ray shifted Kai, who was being supported by both himself and Tyson. "Tyson!" Ray yelled. "Ok!" Responded Tyson, as he was moving towards the dojo with Ray. Max followed behind then, but before he walked into the dojo, he bent and picked up the wrecked from of what was left of Kai's blade. Max looked at it sadly, sighed, then walked inside to see what he could help with.

By the time Max had gotten inside, Ray and Tyson had managed to lay Kai on the couch. Ray was already tending to Kai's wounds, with an open first-aid-kit laid out in front of him. Tyson ran around the house, trying to get the items that Ray needed. "Tyson, I need some towels." Ray asked, in a surprisingly calm tone.

Tyson came rushing back moments later with some towels, while Max walked over to help Ray clean the wounds. Tyson sat down, totally exhausted and his stomach groaned out loud. When Ray and Max had placed the last bandages on Kai's head, they both leaned back and sighed, both worn out. "Whew…even breakfast seemed like it was weeks ago.." Groaned Tyson. Ray looked at Kai worryingly, and sighed to himself. Well at least he is safe here…Thought Ray.

"Hey Ray, why didn't we just take Kai to the hospital?" Asked Tyson. Ray and Max thought about this for a moment. "Well..first we had to get the wounds fixed up first, and secondly whoever attacked Kai might come back again, so it is safer here." Answered Ray. "Heh heh..yeah Tyson..and besides you know how Kai hates the hospital." Max said. "Yeah..I know that..but then I always get his hospital food!" Tyson retorted.

Ray shook his head. "Is that all you think about Tyson..? Food..?" He asked. "Well..no..it depends when. And right now I am starving!" Tyson bellowed as he rubbed his head frustratingly. Max chuckled as he tried to calm his distressed friend. "So Ray, how is Kai anyways?" Max suddenly asked. "Well…his wounds are pretty deep, but I think with plenty of rest..they should heal fine. And afterwards if there are anymore problems, we can take him to the hospital." Ray answered.

"How about we wait until Grandpa comes home, and then I'll ask him to fix Kai up. I mean he does know lot's on this medical stuff." Tyson answered. "Sure why not?" Ray replied. "NOW HOW ABOUT SOME BREAKFAST!" Tyson yelled. Max's stomach grumbled in reply, and was followed by Rays. "Ok guys, I'll make some lunch.." Ray decided. "I want to help!" Giddily bellowed Max as he darted to help Ray in the kitchen. Tyson set the table, and decided to check on Kai. He was as they left him. There were so much bandages, he almost looked like a mummy. Tyson almost snickered at this thought. He sighed, and stared at the weakened form of his captain.

Soon the aroma of fried noodles were wafting through the dojo, and Tyson closed his mouth in attempts to stop the drooling. "Let's EAT!" He cried, and they dug into the meal. Tyson had managed to eat the most, and burped loudly. Max his belly, and rubbed against his pocket. He reached into his pocket and drew out Dranzer. Ray stopped at what he was doing and sat down. Even Tyson had stopped in the middle of the burp. Max held the blade closer, and stared at it for some comfort. Then his eyes widened in shock.

"Maxie..? Whats wrong?" Tyson asked. He held up the blade. It gleamed in the light, and most of the blood seemed to be gone. They could see clearly the condition of Dranzer. The entire attack ring seemed missing, and the weight disk was terribly dented and chipped. The base was damaged beyond recognition, and the bitchip…"Hey where's Dranzer?" Cried Tyson.

"Here." Said an unknown voice from the door.

Yay…I finally finished this part..in the next chappie..looks like its going to be Tyson's turn to battle..but anyways don't forget to review!
