-----------------------

Chapter 7:

..I need to get Dranzer back from their clutches, for my team and for a friend.

Kai I'm going to try my best to win this for you buddy!

"OK Kelom! Let's do this! It's all or nothing! So let it rip!" Cried Tyson…

Chapter 8: Gone with the wind

"Heh…if u actually came to you're senses Tyson, you would have just handed me Dragoon…" Mocked Kelom.

"Yeah well I am not giving up Dragoon without a fight! Are we here to talk or battle?" Tyson asked getting frustrated.

"Calm down, you'll lose all the same…since it is my game..we play by my rules." Countered Kelom.

With that the room of Tyson's dojo began to dissolve into a pool of colours, and it was followed by a bright aura of light. Tyson and the others shielded their eyes from the light, and with a final whoosh of wind, followed by a bang, the light dimmed once again, signaling the gang to open their eyes. Tyson squinted while his eyes began to adjust. Then he rubbed his eyes in total shock. Am I seeing things? He thought to himself.

Ray opened his eyes followed by Max who uttered a shocked gasp. They looked around and saw that they were in a forest like area, with the morning dew still clinging to the fresh underbrush. The mist was just beginning to clear, leaving the forest with a wisp of cool morning air. The trees were a dark lush green, almost hidden from view by the fog, while there was a distant grey mountain beyond the ongoing forestry.

He and Max were on this upholstered ridge, where they had the view of the entire battle. Kai was surprisingly beside them, still unfazed and unmoving. Max looked down below the ridge and saw that Tyson was at the opposite end of the large open forest area. There were trees surrounding the area on all sides, almost as if they were in a dome with the trees as the walls. When the mist began to clear a bit more, Max saw that Kelom was on the opposite side, and it looked like they were preparing to launch.

"Come on buddy! You can do this!" Max cried, although not even sure if Tyson would be able to hear this. "Yeah Tyson! You can win this!" Ray cheered.

Tyson was on the ground battle field below the ridge. He could barely make out the silhouette of his friends with the mist, but he was relieved when he saw their familiar figures waving to him. He had a hard time making out what they were saying, and hoped that Kai would be alright. After straining for a while, Tyson could hear the voices of Max and Ray shouting advice and reassurance. Tyson gave them thumbs up, to reassure them that he was alright, and he would win this battle no problem.

Kelom stayed at his opposite end, waiting for Tyson to finish his last farewells. He thought enviously of how Tyson's friends could still be thee for him, even when they seemed so far off, and were at a disadvantage in terms of the fielding area. Kelom frowned angrily and scrunched up his fists in anger. Despite of his "anger" issue, he was a great blader that possessed astonishing powers.

"Hey Tyson! You ready to battle or what!" Angrily yelled Kelom, letting out most of his anger on taunting Tyson.

"Heh…chill out dude..you'll lose all the same.." Tyson chuckled mischievously, as he used the same phrase Kelom used against him. Tyson chuckled to himself at his newfound brilliance and shifted the baseball cap sitting on his messy, navy blue hair. Then he stuck out his launcher in front of him, and smirked confidently.

Kelom was steaming mad. But his outer cool defense would not let him show that. Instead he followed suit with Tyson, and evilly thought of how to make Tyson eat those words in their battle.

"OK ready Tyson? Oh yeah…and nothing good comes out of a copy cat.." Mocked Kelom as he prepared to launch.

Tyson ignored the comment and focused his anger on the beybattle. "3..2…1..LET IT RIP!" Both Tyson and Kelom shouted together.

Max and Ray were both looking intently on the match far below them. They eyed each other worryingly, and sighed knowing that Tyson would attack recklessly. "There must be a reason that Kelom picked this place to battle…it must give him some kind of advantage.." Ray said to Max. "Yeah Ray and let's hope that Tyson won't realize this after he loses…" Max shook his head, and returned his gaze to Tyson who looked like he was about to launch. "Well one thing is for sure Ray, and we'll always be by Tyson's side no matter what!" Concluded Max. Ray nodded in agreement, and gave Max a hopeful smile.

With the sound of the rip cord going through the launcher, followed by the detaching of the blades, both blades had landed simultaneously in the dirt path area. Kelom's grey and white blade, had began the first attack. It barely touched the ground before it slammed right into Tyson's blade. Tyson staggered backwards at the sudden blow, and his blade mimicked his backward movement. Clutching painfully at his stomach, Tyson chuckled to himself. Looks like this guy is more of a threat then he puts on..but he will lose to me all the same. "Heh…Kelom you may have surprised me there, but take a look at this! GO DRAGOON GALAXY TURBO!"

Tyson's white blade swerved at his masters command, and was hurtling at a abnormally fast pace at its opponent. What Tyson failed to notice was that Kelom was smirking smugly.

"Something's wrong.." Worriedly spoke Max. "Yeah Max I have to agree with you, this guy Kelom, is good, and if Tyson is not careful he could end up like Kai." Concluded Ray. With that he glanced at Kai's motionless body on the slightly parted sedimentary formatted ground. His brow was knotted in pain, and a mere second later was relaxed again. Ray couldn't really say which worried him more..Tyson's "death" match, or Kai's going to be "death" scene. Either way, Tyson has to win this..for the sake of his title, friends, and most importantly his bit beast.

Kelom's blade easily dodged Dragoon's pitiful rampage, and the white blade nearly slammed into the nearby evergreen tree. Tyson wiped his forehead and sighed inwardly. "This is the world champion? This is more like a joke.." Scornfully muttered Kelom, but loud enough for Tyson to hear.

"YOU CALLING ME A FRAUD?" Angrily yelled Tyson, his head swelling twice its usual size, and hot air smoking from his ears. "COME HERE AND SAY THAT TO MY FACE YOU NO-GOOD- ROTTEN-BAD FASHION SENSED-UNFAMOUS-NON WORLD CHAMPION BLADER THAT HAS ANGER PROBLEMS!" Tyson managed to yell, atop all the bickering that Kelom was putting up with.

A vein throbbed on Kelom's forehead and he clenched his fist in annoyance. His cooler outer defense melting at his fiery anger. "YOU THINK YOU'RE SO TOUGH BIG SHOT EH? WELL THIS IS NOT EVEN HALF OF MY REAL POWER AND I ALMOST GOT U SLAMMIN' INTO TREES, MEANING WHEN DO RELEASE MY REAL POWER U'LL BE TAKING THE NEXT TRIP TO ANTARTICA, FIRST CLASS!" Usually a little bit of mockery wouldn't get Kelom so fired up, but this was Tyson and we all know how he likes to brag. Kelom couldn't stand Tyson..he could win the world championships without the hard work and training..always slacking off..well this was time to show the "world champ" what hard work and training can do.

"HEY U ZONED OUT OR SUMTHING? OR U MUST HAVE GIVEN UP SINCE U REALIZED THERE WAS NO WAY U COULD BEAT ME?" Tyson smugly crossed his arms over his chest and smiled triumphantly. "OH YEAH U BIG MOUTH..SHOW ME WHATCHA GOT! AND I'LL SEND IT RIGHT BACK TO THAT BIG FACE OF YOURS! ATTACK GALIKEN!" Yelled Kelom, commanding his blade to slam into Tyson's. "DODGE IT DRAGOON!" Tyson hollered and motioned the blade to move away from harm. Kelom's attack narrowly missed and Tyson's sighed inwardly. "This is far from over Kelom.." Tyson confidently said.

"Oh great..here we go with the arguing again! I know they're both great bladders, but when it comes to arguing…its really hard to tell who is better.." Max muttered to Ray who couldn't help but stifle a chuckle. "TYSON YOU CAN WIN THIS!" Ray yelled. "STAY FOCUSED!" "AND STOP ARGUING..!" Concluded Max. Tyson gave them thumbs up, and turned back to the battle ahead. It was indeed going to be a long one…and Tyson wouldn't give up no matter what. "DRAGOON! LETS SHOW THIS GUY WHAT WE'VE GOT!" At his masters command, Tyson's white blade began to glow, and in seconds, the bit chip exploded in a burst of light, and a mighty blue dragon appeared. Dragoon roared and hurled at the grey and white blade. The result was a huge explosion, followed by a burst of light. "ARGHHH…" Both bladers yelled, and was thrown backwards by the large force.

"TYSON!" Max and Ray yelled from their ridge. Though it would be doubtful that they could be heard with the explosion and the relentless gusts of wind that followed soon afterwards. When the dust and debris had settled and cleared, there were two blades that were still spinning, and neither bladers waited to give their opponent the upper hand. "ATTACK NOW!" Cried both bladers and their blades went on a collision course once again, resulting in shocking force waves. The blades were spinning side by side, both wanting to push the other blade back. The attack rings grinding against each other resulting in chips falling due to the friction. "TYRANT WIND!" Cried Kelom and a sudden burst of wind appeared from nowhere. The trees behind them were whipping their leaves and the branches, almost seem to wave angrily. "FEEL THE WRATH OF THE WIND!" Kelom madly chuckled. Tyson watched as the awesome power of Keloms attack began to unfold, and could only hope that Dragoon would be able to withstand the force. Tyson gulped and began to feel hope slip. Could I actually beat this guy…what if I had the same fate as Kai..he called such an attack without his bitbeast..Dragoon… Tyson gathered the last of his hopes and worries and yelled "OK KELOM LETS FIGHT WIND WITH WIND!" Cried Tyson as he too prepared to attack.

Up above atop the ridge, Kai remained in his motionless state clenched his fists tensely and sat down next to Kai, and Max suddenly grinned. "Max..?" Ray asked a little concerned that he was smiling at a time like this. "I always thought the phrase was to Fight fire with fire..?"
