I thinkI forgot to do a disclaimer last time so this one will be for both. Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade. Disclaimer to Shitza: I do not own the format for the last chapter, the idea was taken from Shitza's prologue for 'Guardian of Light.'
Chapter I – A Beyblade Secret
"Tyson! Tyson! Tyson! TYSON, WAKE UP!" Ray yelled.
In response, Tyson continued muttering 'I can't eat anymore' and 'this match is mine. Ray put his hand on his forehead and groaned. Then Hilary came in and whispered something into Ray's ear. They both nodded and then Hilary and Ray took each took one end of Tyson's bed and threw it into the air. Tyson hit the wall which was followed by a big yell.
"HILARY! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" Tyson yelled.
"It's because you didn't wake up after Ray called you about a million times." Hilary said, crossing her arms. "Now hurry up and get dressed. The Saint Shields are here with important information!"
As soon as Tyson heard the Saint Shield's names, he ran throughout the whole room getting dressed and then ran off to find them. Hilary and Ray were covered by a mountain of things that flew when the hurricane was here. But eventually they got out and amazingly managed to get to the living room before Tyson. He fell into the room and the Saint Shields sweatdropped while the rest of the Bladebreakers felt embarrassed. Grandpa and Mr. Dickenson sighed.
"So… what's… up… guys…?" Tyson said between breaths. He sat down eagerly.
"We were researching more information on your bit-beasts and found something that we thought you should know." Ozuma answered.
He took out a book and laid it on the table. The outside has letters that none of the Bladebreakers could understand. Joseph seemed to know what they were all thinking.
"This is the language of our village. The book is called The Saint Conductors." Joseph said.
Mariam opened the book to a page where an old looking bookmark sat. She cleared her voice and started reading.
"The Four Beasts were first discovered by a small group of wandering kids. They had been walking towards a path to find out the secret of their birth, for all of them were orphans. There stood a center point of where the four of those kids were born. A place that is now known as the Crest Valley." Mariam paused to look at all the confused faces. "According to the children, the beasts could talk to them. Their names were Dragoon, Dranzer, Driger, and Draciel. The four children all ran to the nearby village but no one believed that a spiritual beast could be locked in a chip."
Ozuma took the book from Mariam's hands and flipped to a couple pages. Once he found the page, he continued reading.
"The four children's names were Kiyo, Kazekuro, Din, and Suisen. Each child was found in an odd place. Kiyo was found near at Hidden Volcano, Kazekuro was found at Hidden Desert, Din was found at Hidden Mountain, and Suisen was found at Hidden Ocean. These four were believed to be the bodies that the Four Beasts used for the first few years of existence." Ozuma closed the book and looked at them all.
"So why is this so important?" Max asked.
"Throughout the book, it explains more about the kids and the Four Beasts. And then we found a decoded message saying that two of the kids are still alive." Dunga explained roughly. "But there's a problem with that. The year right now is 2005. But they were all born around the year 1715."
All the Bladebreakers gasped. Mr. Dickenson sat there frozen with a stunned look on his face. Grandpa rubbed his forehead. There was a long silence until Dizzi broke it.
"That must mean that they're nearly 290 years old!" Dizzi exclaimed. "No human can live that long!"
"But we're also missing information. Every now and then there are a couple pages missing." Mariam said. "Most are missing towards the end."
"So why tell us this?" Tyson asked. "They don't have the Four Beasts now, what's there to worry about."
"Well, we think that they might be coming for you." Joseph said. "No one in our village remembers anything about them so the only ones that could've left the coded message is them."
"Have you ever thought of the fact that it could've been a prank?" Max asked.
"There is no one that does pranks in our village." Dunga answered. "And the elders said this book hasn't been touched for a long time; at least not by anyone in our village."
"You'd all best watch out. If they really are alive… then chances are they're going to came back and get those bit-beasts." Ozuma said. "No one knows what happened to them. It says they disappeared after the villagers didn't believe them. We also went there to ask. No one has ever heard of a story."
The whole room was silent. Kai squeezed his beyblade and then walked off. Ray sat there staring at Driger, he couldn't bear to lose him again. And they all forgot the fact that they could talk to their own bit-beasts for answers.
-----------------------------------------
Outside a man sat on the roof. There was an evil look on his face as the looked at the clear blue sky.
"They've found out about our little secret." Said a male voice. "It won't be long until the sky is blackened."
-----------------------------------------
"I'm going to call the elders at home to see if they have any information on them." Ray finally said.
He got up and went to a room with a phone. Kai came back into the room after he heard people talking. Tyson and Kenny has been trying to find other ways to prove that the book was wrong but so far there was nothing. A couple minutes later Ray walked back into the room, looking tired and stunned.
"Any luck?" Max asked.
Ray took a deep breath. "Oh yeah. The elder said that in the beginning when the Four Saint Beasts first appeared, they fought in battles. But in order to have a strong effect on their enemy, they needed a human body to take over. Those were called conductors. But then a couple years passes and something dire happened. He said he didn't know what it was but that changed the point of view for the Beasts."
Everyone stood in awe and confusion. But then an idea struck Dizzi like lightning.
"Why don't you guys try talking to you bit-beasts?" Dizzi asked excitedly. "They are the Four Saint Beasts after all."
The Bladebreakers took out their blades and stared at them. There was a small 'why didn't I think of that' mutter from Dunga. Tyson took out his launcher and put Dragoon on it. The others all woke from their sea of thoughts and looked at Tyson. He launched his blade and it spun on the floor without moving. Tyson clenched his fist.
"Dragoon…" Tyson started. The blue dragon came out of the blade. "I think you owe us an explanation."
