A.C.: Because of life changing changes and other crap I decided to revamp this whole thing. Wait, don't kill me yet, it's not like I got rid of the story for good, just tweaked it a little so it's not in Kai's POV all the time. Why? Life changing crap, my writing style changed and my English has been degraded into those of a fourth graders --;;
And so for your continuous entertainment as you wordings and for my... relatively un-salvageable dignity and pride I bring you the revamped version of the original 'King of Darkness'
Plus a few extra chapters in case you still want to kill me and all

Two genetic perfections, born to battle, born to fight, and soon doomed to die. Beyblading was just another facade in their life, a disguise to move freely through out the sea of humans as they picked off their targets one by one. And that's how their lives had always been, continuing cycles of deaths and rebirths, no small wonder Dranzer the phoenix bit beast had been revered as the symbol of Balkov Abbey before being perverted into her darker counter part.
But for now they were two boys, two sexually frustrated boys as the struggled to keep their voices down and their movements to minimum, which was getting harder by the minute as they ground their hips into each others.
They fought for dominance or some type of control over the other. Both were wild elements, both were chaotic, uncontrollable. They fought to tame each other in a locked position as their limbs slithered pleasurably against each other as the bigger came on top and the smaller, submissive.
Blood pooled over the crescent wells left in Kai's struggle. He had found another place in the paler shoulders and was digging his nails into it as Yuriy clamped his jaws over his neck in an attempt to keep silent. The bed creaked and repetitively jerky snores continued from beyond the walls. One last time before yet another mission and they were determined to make it last.
With an animalistic moan Kai came first followed by Yuriy coating their firm stomachs with their seed. Yuriy rolled off burying his face into the silken silver hair of Kai.
"Are you sure?" murmured Yuriy as the lids began to close over the crimson eyes. The silver lashes fluttered then stilled,
"Yeah," Yuriy wrapped his arms around the shorter blader tracing the blue triangles on the cheeks touching the neckline before tickling the newest hickie added onto the peach column.
"You know fail..." Kai swallowed the next words with a kiss before sleepily looking into the icy glare of Yuriy's eyes.
"Yeah, I know."
Betrayal was not something to be taken lightly.
Yuriy sighed folding his arms over the bare skin of the other Russian
"I just wish it was under other circumstances..."

Kai walked up the steps to an overly elaborate dish where he would fight against Brooklyn. He whom Hitoshi had a hand in training, he who was supposed to pose as the ultimate challenge to one Kinomaya Takao, he who did not have a single interest in blading...
Kai gritted his teeth as he held out his launcher, life was a game and therefore game was life and... The equation did not match up. He had an order, failure was not an option. Even if it had meant sacrificing an arm and a leg to follow through the wishes of...
What was so special about Brooklyn? Kai wondered as Brooklyn mimicked his moves. He felt a twinge as Hitoshi stared intently at him, prodding him, provoking him, making sure that if and when he made a mistake he would be there shoving it all in his face. God knows how Hitoshi knew what was going on in the former team of Borg.
The blader raised for the sake of blading against the one born to blade.
Kai's body tensed as they began the countdown, the silly traffic light wannabe blinking red, yellow, and then green.
The blades shot out with a bang as they circled each other like cocks in a coral watching for weaknesses in an opponent. The blades crashed, whirled frantically against each other before bouncing off. Kai used his signature move only to back away in shock as it was shrugged off easily as spring rain and the redhead had countered it using a new and improved version of it.
Grinning mercilessly Brooklyn began to attack and it was then Kai realized that he had fallen into a trap. Sparing the smug looking Hitoshi a single glare Kai attacked the black blade while parrying off the copied moves, blow for blow countered.
A hit then Kai saw...
The shadows twisting into the form of a dark beast, a centaurian covered in gold armory flashing its magnificent wings. Brooklyn's bitbeast had finally revealed itself in all its glory baring fangs at Dranzer as his assaults began to grow stronger...
-
"Come on Kai!" Yelled Takao unnecessarily into the TV, the match to see who would become one of BEGA had been on all day, but it was the finals that they were interested in and it was the finals they got.
Brooklyn Vs. Kai
"I don't get it," the raven haired teen wondered stunned by the proceeding events. "How can this guy Brooklyn, copy Kai's signature move nevertheless wear him down this much!"
"Who cares!" Snarled Takao as he slammed his hands down on the TV, "Do something Kai! Dammit it's not like you to lose this easily!"
-
Jin, Hitoshi had appeared behind Kai in a mysterious spotlight that touched nothing but the two in an illuminating embrace as the elder spoke.
"Brooklyn is our representative, he is a genius when it comes to blading and I guess you can say... he was born to blade." The battle continued but Kai remained on his bloodied knees as Dranzer continued to lose ground to the bitbeast from the Greek mythologies. "Kai, you joined BEGA for the sole purpose of getting a chance to prove yourself against Takao." The slate haired trainer continued applying pressure from the other side. As if to prove his point the black blade crashed against Dranzer chipping the bits of her blue blade away... Kai was pushed back yet again but this time it gave him enough momentum to struggle up in anger towards Jin's statement.
"What do you know about me and Takao! How dare you!" Kai stood as another impact rippled through his insides, but he was not trained as a professional killer for nothing. Beyblading was a game, it should have been treated as such, but when the rule makers were Boris and Jin. Not when he was... Kai gasped clutching his stomach.
The crimson phoenix screamed as her chest feathers were slashed to ribbons.
"You don't know anything... how could you?" Kai spat at the ground tossing his scarf into the signal lights and effectively disabling them from ever working again. "The battle between me and Takao... it's not a simple matter of rivalry and male pride I wasn't able to let go..."
"I know more than you think Kai; it's always about pride. There is no room in BEGA for the likes of you... leave..." Kai growled silently in reply tossing away my scarf; Dranzer began to glow, no burn like a supernova in correspondence her keeper's anger.

Kai had never intended to be second best, not now, not when he was so close... his whole frame to shudder and he felt like the floor had just dropped out on him into the void.
'Is this how you felt Yuriy? Is this how you felt when you were defeated by Garland?'
Maelstrom of flames erupted around him as they launched their final attack. Brooklyn smiling nonchalantly dodged it with ease that sickened Kai to the core. What was he?
Kai panted in exhaustion, sweat gathering above his brow. Why? Why hadn't his attacks hit? A touch of cold understanding flooded his stomach, for Takao, an ultimate rival, one that had surpassed him.
They floated above the inky depths as it rippled in every direction drowning the light. It was funny really, in a sick twisted way. They were the perfect inverse of each other, Kai with black and Brooklyn in white, Brooklyn with darkness and Kai holding the flames, Brooklyn as a god and Kai as a mortal. Mentally smirking with these last thoughts Kai began to drown in the deep, the tar like waters sucking him in faster than quicksand.
"Enough Zeus, king of darkness..." the dark beast roared in agreement as the past victims began to scream behind it in a whirlpool of gray and black as the giant blades, claws tore through Dranzer dismantling her into slivers of metal and plastic.
Kai reached out towards the light... the last view being the shadows as he was blown off the platform and onto the concrete tiles below...
'Rise like the phoenix and purge the darkness...'
-
The rest of the world watched in muted horror as the phoenix fell with his blade demolished to the point where the only undamaged piece was the core... they never heard him as he whimpered through the haze of jagged lighting,
"Yuriy..."
-
"No, no!" yelled Takao as he grasped the screen jarring it till the pictures overlapped with static into a mixture of inverted colors.
"Ack calm down Takao! This is not the time!" Said Kyouji trying to help Ray and Max hold the blue haired Dragoon blader.
"Show me Kai, what happened to Kai!" demanded Takao as the screen changed from the white clad paramedics examining Kai in favor of capturing the sight of Jazzman announcing the five from BEGA who would attend the 5-on-5 match against Takao.
"And so we have our singing sensation Miming!" the crowd cheered as the amber eyed girl waved at the crowd smiling blowing kisses to the audience. "Garland!" the cyan haired blader held up his hand smiling slightly at the roar of approval he received. "Mystel!" the masked blonde came up beside the others waving politely. "Moses!" The definite brawns of the team Bega grinned giving the people a big wave. "And in a surprising upset Brooklyn!" the ginger haired genius joined the others standing proudly against the audience.
"Damn..." whispered Takao as he shut off the TV not wanting to watch what happened next.
"I can't believe Kai lost that easily!" exclaimed Dachi his turquoise eyes on the verge of popping out of their sockets.
"I can't believe how powerful he is." Nodded Ray looking down at his feet while playing with his hair.
"Ahhh! And we still haven't chosen the fifth blader!" blabbered Kyoujyu groaning all the while. The rest sighed feeling even more miserable than they had before.
"Relax chief; I'm sure we'll find someone." Chirped Max trying to breathe an upbeat air into everyone. Kyoujyu smiled shakily nodding in agreement.
-
"No! Kai!" said a young man bursting out of his sterile bed and tearing off IV tubes from his veins. On the TV screen was the announcement about BEGA with Kai being looked after by guys in white in the background. "Kai!" his pained roar had attracted the attentions of the staff it seemed as a pretty brunette nurse alongside a balding doctor ran into the room, dragging the struggling teen to his bed. "Let me go!" he snarled barely noticing the pin prick of a needle on his arm, "Kai needs me, let me go!" he disregarded the soothing but incoherent words of the nurse thrashing even more frantically as he felt the drug do its work on shutting him down. "Let me go! Kai, KAI!"

A handful of members from the other teams as well as the former bladers of the Bladebreakers were there discussing about the identity of the 5th blader.
"Well none of us can control the new MS blades..." started Rick looking around slowly.
"But we still have this" said Lai solemnly holding out Galleon. Emily clicked her tongue shaking her head,
"The trouble is that they have powerful bladers on their team, I mean look at Garland and Brooklyn! None of us even attempted to try and defeat Yuriy nonetheless Kai!"
"Well I think there should be at least one girl on our team!" pouted Mao pouncing on Lai, "I mean there's a girl in team Bega and girls are better than boys!" all through out this conversation Takao remained silent, enough to slip out unnoticed.
"Takao," said a voice shaking him back into reality,
"Huh, what? Kyoujyu?" the brunette looked back at the Dragoon blader with somewhat serious expression on his face.
"I know what you're thinking but I suggest you forget about it." Takao turned around to fully face his short friend. "He's much too arrogant and headstrong to come back right now and you know it." And he added, "not to mention that he might not be in proper shape to right now..." the two friends stared down at the pond. Then Kyoujyu broke the silence by saying, "I was hoping he would return you know..." he sighed pulling out a small blade from his pocket.
"Kyoujyu is that what I think it is?" The boy nodded in conformation,
"This one was the last one to be built, and I think the smallest, and perhaps the most powerful." He looked meaningfully and the bluenette "maybe... maybe Kai could have won if he had this."
The next day the newly formed Bladebreakers went to visit Yuriy who happened to be asleep then.
"Wow, Garland did a number on him didn't he?" asked Hiromi quietly looking at the pale red head breathing through a mask.
"Oh you're here!" just then Mr. Dickinson entered the room his face brightening a little at the sight of them.
"Hi Mr. Dickinson, we came to visit Yuriy." Chirped Max grinning slightly, "But I guess we have to go now considering it's almost time for the match."
"Well boys, I wish you the best of luck. I have nothing more to ask of you at this point, but I sincerely hope that you win. If not for yourselves then for beyblading."
"Don't worry Mr. Dickinson, we'll can win this." Said Ray following the blonde out of the room.
"Yeah!" cheered Dachi following the duo out with Hiromi, Kyoujyu, and Takao.
"Hey wait!" said Takao hurrying back to Yuriy's bedside.
"What is it?" asked Hiromi curiously,
"Heh, well this." He held out the Dranzer MS blade putting it down by Yuriy's pillow. "So Yuriy and this little guy can cheer for us." He grinned ushering them all out and soon Mr. Dickinson was the only one left in the room. "And don't worry about us Mr. Dickinson! We'll win!"
The crowd roared in approval as they entered the stadium,
This was it...
There was no backing out...
