23: Legends of Fire

Dealing with adult life, the loss of parents, friends falling out, injuries and hurt is all hard to bare. Add tests and the growing age of sixth form and Daemon Heights is what your outcome is. The Bandits and the Demolition Boys are all going through hell at 'Hell Hole Heights' and dealing with it differently. Will they get over their pasts, graduate and find love, or will the trash can at the bottom of the road be easier for them? Its not easier being 18 and hiding things from your friends is not the option you can take without digging yourself further into your deep secrets and pasts. Mostly Kai/OC, lots of OC/OC and implied Ray/Mariah and Tyson/Hilary.

Disclaimer: I only own the Triagons, Cassy, Elisa, Sabre, Leo, The Bandits, The town, the Mansions, Dojos, Houses, Horses, other Animals, Bit-beasts and Daemon Heights along with all the teachers and different people you have never heard of before virtually…I own a gold mine. The plots mine too.

Like some old cowboy movie, they stood in silence, facing each other over the dusty playground, crisp packets blowing across the tarmac. The crowd was silent as they stood around them; from pro to novice they stood in agony over the wait, wanting to see what these two players could do. And although they had no guns, and no real weapons, these two opponents would still fight. Fight with fire.

The demon teacher, Mr Hazelwood, cleared his throat and then looked from one end of the dish to the other. 'Yes yes, Kai Hiwatari and Sabre Tooth.' He took a pen and ticked their names off of the competition list. Holding the clipboard in one hand again he raised the other.

'Ready.' Both bladers took their blades and launchers, connecting them together smoothly within the next second, two clicks sounded as they were readied, firmly in place. They pushed their ripcords into their launchers then, and got into position.


Do me proud Sabre. Elisa smiled from the crowd, standing in amongst them on her own again, her eyes glinting with pride.


Lose again loser. Tala thought grimly ,bitter at his own defeat against a team-mate. He'd been fine about it to Theos face, and when he had been in amongst the crowd talking, but deep down he was pissed off. His first loss in ages and it was to the new kid! He glanced across at Theo standing next to Ry, beaming. He growled slightly. Lovey dovey brat. Then he shook his head slightly and chuckled. Man, I'm uptight. He smirked and then turned back to the dish and looked at Kai. Go, Kai, go. KICK HIS ASS!

'Sabres gonna struggle.' Cassy said glumly. Leo next to her nodded.

'Kais good, we all know that, but come on, this is Sabre!' He smiled. 'So he's not going down without taking Kai with him.' Cassy smiled.

'Of course.'


'Who do you thinks going to win this, Theo?' Ry said looking up at her black haired boyfriend. The boy smiled and shrugged.

'Who knows, I don't know these guys well enough to judge yet.' He spoke wisely. Ry nodded and turned back to the dish.

'Yeah, me neither.' She paused. 'I still recon Sabres gonna kick Kai's ass though.' Theo just laughed.


'Come on Tyson, this isn't worth watching.' Hilary said, her earlier joy of cheering for Theo, who she'd predicted correctly, would win, gone.

'Yeah, where are Maxie, Ray and Kenny anyway?' Tyson asked turning from the dish.

'On the fields with the rest of the school. You've got a while until your battle, I want to go and sun bath.' Tyson groaned.

'Do I have to com…'

'Tyson!' He didn't have a choice.


'Kais got this one.' Ian said.

'You sure, they look to be the same height.' Spencer joked. Ian just glared at him as the blond laughed.

'You may be surprised, Sabres known for never giving up, and, when he rarely does fail, it's normally for a very good reason.' Bryan said calmly from the shadows of the school. 'Is Kai, his rival, a good enough reason?' He left the question hanging.

In the distance the trio could just about see the action in the courts happening from their position near the school. But they knew that most of this battle would need power, the power of a bit-beast, they wouldn't need to be able to see the beyblades, they'd just watch the fireworks in the sky.

'Humph, Kai's still going to win.' Ian said, crossing his arms defiantly.


I'm stuck again. Even matches seem to be becoming a regularity today. Hum. I hope it's not for me.

''You are the be…'' I laugh then, out loud and clear. Whisper sure does pick the moments.

'Ok boy, cool it, you don't need to keep telling me that now.' I say back to him mentally.

''I'll stop saying it when you believe it.''

'I'll only believe it when the leaders of the world pronounce me the best.' I say.

''Then you're going to be hearing it a lot more.'' Whisper neighs, sounding like a laugh again. I roll my eyes and sigh. Heh. Then I smirk. I don't mind. I chuckle slightly and look from my position on our lunch bench again towards the battle that has yet to begin. I would have stayed near the dish, but those little kids, and Tyson for that matter; were beginning to tick me off. Yeah, they weren't doing much, but they were just there! Taking up my space. I didn't like it.

But who cares, I shift my eyes to the Demolition Boys in the school buildings shadow. They've got the same idea as me it seems, as long as I can see the spirits and the sky above the beydish, I'll be able to watch the real battle. And I think I'm going to get quite a show too.


'1…' Finally the teacher started. Many people's eyes lit up at that; coming out of boredom sleep with a jolt, ready to watch the battle again. The fall and rise of one of its players.

'…2…' Kai and Sabre looked at each other, just a simple look, trying to read the others emotions like the pair before them had tried, the out come was the same as the previous battle also. Although Sabre wasn't a Demolition Boy, he had the same heart and beliefs of one. Hide your emotions, hide the things to be used against you, bring on the victory.

'…3…' It was time. Gripping at their ripcords the pair pulled hard, reaching their arms behind them as both blue blades burst into the dish.

'LET IT RIP!'

The blades dived forward quicker than a cheetah, becoming only slight blue blurs against the dark blue dish. Faint glimpses of red and green showed the position of Kais blade and sky blue and white for Sabres. So, not only were these two powers immense, they were also basically invisible to the untrained eyes of the onlookers; they were camouflaged by speed and colour against the dish. The blades didn't clash straight away like most others had that day though; instead they landed in the dish and then began to circle its rim, each sizing up its opponent.

Kai glanced across at Sabre, who was currently following Dagon and Dranzer with his eyes, arms crossed, brow furrowed. The grey haired boy watched him for any movement, trying to find any give away to his next attack. The blades kept circling the dish, not lengthening or shortening the distance between each other.

'You know. It would be so much easier if you quit looking at me, one its irritating and two, if your interested, I'm already taken.' The boy smirked slyly, his eyes glinting. In the crowd Elisa glared at him, lasers beams spurting from her eyes. Kai was calmer about the comment, although he still glared hard enough to kill the devil. In some ways, Sabre was lucky that Kat was so far away from the dish, and that they were no longer the Bandits, because otherwise he would have just been yelled at for saying such a stupid comment.

'You know, that was just-'

'An opening.' At Sabres words, cutting off Kai's, Dagon charged. Kai gasped slightly as he felt Dranzer's pain as he was rocketed across the dish, spinning and falling through the air. The Phoenix screeched in protest in his ear as he landed again, luckily the right way up, and tried to balance. But there was one factor that stopped him.

Sabre.

The black haired boy kept up his attack. He sent Dagon after Dranzer again, hitting him like a cat does a mouse before the kill. Kai hoped he'd be able to get his balance back before that kill happened. The blue blade of the Dragon hit at every angle, hitting before retreating slightly, only to hit at the other side of Dranzer with lightning speed. Dranzer was batted back and forth, slowing down with every hit, every bit of damage sustained.

'Come on Dranzer.' Kai called, trying to help, he couldn't do much else other than encourage his bit-beast. But I can't call Dranzer out yet, it's too early. But some how, he doubted he'd last much longer without the help of his friend.

Come on, get the damn fire chicken out here, then maybe I'll have a chance. Sabre thought, absentmindedly gritting his teeth and clenching his crossed arms tighter. He knew Dagon was the fastest thing in the skies, or at least pretty quick, and that's why he wanted Dranzer in the air, to beat him with speed that he hoped would be greater than Dranzers. Things were looking good now though, Dranzer was getting beaten.

The red phoenix was still being flung back and forth, like a tennis ball at Wimbledon, the speeds were almost the same too. Dagon continued his pummelling, bashing his opponent fiercely. Left, right, left, right, left, ri…

Kai suddenly felt a searing pain in his side as a hit was made. Damn, I'm too late, I can't hold on. Dranzer's already started to get hurt, he's desperate, he's already letting his pain slip onto me. Baring his teeth the teen looked to the dish. But it's still too early.

Left, right, left, right. Dagon drew back once more and effortlessly hit Dranzer again. Even if the Phoenix tried to retreat and flee he'd be followed and hit again. Dagon was quick.

'Master.' Kai frowned and nodded slightly, his eyes suddenly ablaze with hate and anger for the black haired boy that stood across the dish from him.

Across from him Sabre smirked. Got'cha. 'Dagon, get back here, give the loser some space to recover before we finish him.' Kai didn't watch as the blue blade of Dagon send Dranzer flying backwards again and as Dagon then retreated at his masters command, Kai just glared at Sabre and drew breath as his blade finally got the needed time to rebalance.

'DRANZER.' Suddenly his blade found new strength as it burst into flames, golden and red flames that spurted from the very ground it span on. It began to spin quicker too, sending the flame everywhere like fireworks and sparks. But what made the crowd really excited was what appeared from the blade.

Suddenly, from seemingly no-where, a high-pitched screech called out, so high and loud it would cut through thunder. Then the flames around Dranzers blade exploded. They flared into the sky, bursting higher and bigger than they ever had before. The golden flames spread out like wings, and then, in one flap of flame; the Phoenix appeared, soaring even higher into the sky.


I see you Dranzer. The girl thought smirking and pushed a strand of blue hair behind her ear. Black eyes looked up as the red Phoenix flew into the summertime sky. But where is your opponent?

Get the party started Kai, don't be defeated by him. He's not your equal. The boy with hair the colour of the phoenix itself thought, watching with piecing blue eyes from the edge of the crowds. He turned to the smirking black haired boy, red shark fins covering his cheeks, brown eyes hard as mahogany. Your through Sabre, Kai wont lose to you. And he's mad now, so is Dranzer, you went too far and now you'll pay for it. Mwhahahahahahahahahahahaha…


And there he was, the legendary Phoenix of flame, rising from the fire that was still encasing his beaten blade. The crimson phoenix turned to look at Sabre, wings spread out fully, showing all him in all his glory. He then looked down at the Bandit's blade. The black haired boy laughed slightly before smirking again, one side of his mouth curving upwards slyly.

'Oh, so you want to fight him now hey, I was wondering, you weren't fighting back earlier, I took you as weak. Maybe I was right.' Sabre smirked across at Kai who simply growled as his Phoenix shrieked loudly in defiance to the comment.

'Dranzer.' At only that spoken word the Phoenix screeched loudly, like his water counterpart before him, and dived, flames flashing around his red feathers, golden beak shimmering as he it aimed for the blade of the Dragon. Sabre snorted.

'Not so fast.' He looked down at Dagon. I only hope now our speed may save us. That my plan will go as I want it. 'DAGON, ITS YOUR TURN.'

Then there was a rumbling noise, low and deep, like the beginning of an earthquake. Suddenly flames like Dranzer's before him exploded around Dagons blade. They spurted upwards like a wall all around the blade, blocking the Phoenix's dive, making him have to pull up with a giant flap of his wings, sending winds across the dish, blowing dust and dirt around again. A black silhouette was seen from within the flames, a giant of a creature, standing tall on back legs, spikes protruding from his head and along his back to the long tail behind him. The silhouette drew back his head for a second and then, in a jerking motion, leant forward and in a flash had cut through the flames with his own fire, streaming from his mouth towards the phoenix of Kai Hiwatari. And even though Dranzer was a true fire Phoenix…

…It's always best to avoid being scorched.

The Phoenix took no time in dodging the flames and then diving for the now revealed blue dragon with an annoyed screech. Dagon stopped his onslaught of flames though, and side stepped, swinging around to let Dranzer pass by him, if only by an inch or too. Dranzer screeched again and flew back into the sky, turning around in mid flight, the flames around his bursting into nothingness.

Dranzer's weak, I can sense it; I'm going to need to finish this soon. Kai thought to himself, watching his bit-beast high above him as he flew in the blue skies. Dagon on the ground below snorted and spread out his great dark wings too, glaring up at the red phoenix with equally red eyes.

'Today's not your day is it Kai, because you're going to get beaten by me. I guess I'm better than you after all, maybe that means I'll be able to beat you too.' He turned and glared at Tala at the edge of the crowd. Tala just glared back, knowing it was him that the black haired boy was talking to, not the idiot kids around him, watching in utter pathetic awe. It had been easy for Sabre to find him whilst Dagon attacked Dranzer earlier. Who else had hair like Tala's?

'No, I'm just letting you do this, but my patience has gone now.' Kai looked directly at him, as Sabre turned back to his battle, glaring into his Brown eyes that were still glinting with victory. Sabre just smirked back, enjoying every minute of this one sided fight. 'And so are you.'

At those words Dranzer dived again. With a roar Dagon's wings pushed downwards forcefully, lifting the huge blue scaly dragon into the skies effortlessly. The blades in the dish suddenly charged forwards, the bit-beasts in the cloudless air above, dived for each other.

The Clash of legends.

Both Fire starters swiped at each other in the air, slashing with talons so sharp and clean cut that they could cut through anything. Both snapped with pointed teeth or beck, beat with wings and tail. Evenly matched. The fought on equal terms, each hitting as much as being hit. The blades on the ground still grinded against each other, only moving back slightly to clash again, sparks and flames flying everywhere, spurting from the blades around the dish, leaving black scorching marks.

We're even. Kai thought. Then he smirked. But not for long. It's about time I over power him.

'Dranzer. Its time.' The Phoenix screeched and flew away from the Dragon who tried to follow. Dranzer flew higher into the sky before spreading out his wings. Suddenly, just like him, his blade jumped into the sky, preparing for the attack.

Sabres face went blank. No. I wasn't quick enough. I should have finished him before he attacked.

'Dagon, prepare yourself.' The Bandit warned, the Dragon snorted in his quick flight up towards the heavens.

'Dranzer.' Kai began, the Phoenix screeched in reply, Dagon flying towards him still, glaring in annoyance, ready to fight again. 'FLAME SABRE.' Dranzer screeched, throwing back his head again and calling out, making people below him cringe in pain at the noise, before diving, flames suddenly appearing around him, fully encasing his body, towards Dagon. The Dragon paused, but in full flight he couldn't dodge, he knew that, he'd been prepared, but not enough to beat Dranzer it seemed, and now he'd pay for it.

It's always best to avoid being scorched.

Dranzer's fire covered blade came down hard, landing on top of Dagons with enough pressure to cause a mini earthquake. The people around the dish wobbled as the ground shook, some lost their balance and fell to the floor in shock at what had just happened. How could bit-beast do that? The two blades just braced themselves with the movement, knowing full well that these spirits, when they clashed, would always hold enough power to cause a full blown earthquake with ease, this was just a starter.

Sabre cringed. 'Come on Dagon.' But the called words fell on the deaf ears of his bit-beast. The Dragons red, pupil less eyes were wide in pain in the sky, Dranzers talons cutting into his chest, fire crackling around him as the Phoenix wings engulfed him too, covering them both with flames. On the ground his blade stopped almost instantly. Defeated. Above him, Dagon disappeared, leaving Dranzer to screech in victory over the roars of the crowd.


'It's over, Kai won.' Spencer said.

'I told you so, I did.' Ian yelled punching the air. Bryan just shook his head in disbelief. Across the playground, within hearing distance, the duel haired girl sat, smirking.

Well done Kai, we already half of the winning team, two Demolition Boys, two phoenixes, two elements, opposites in fact. But I think it's about time a Bandit got in there, our plan to have an all Bandit team has already failed. Kat thought. I better go and find Ry before watching her battle. Ray isn't the easiest to defeat, he's a sly little kitty. Kat got off the bench and walked towards the dish again. And then, it's me.


(Whoa, ok, I'm now thinking that it's going to be hard to top these battles in the real tournament (if i write it), damn, cos I'm still braindead. And I've still got two more battles now. Damn. Anyway, was it good, was it great? Lol, yep, there your only options to chose from. Anyway, review, criticise, flame, whatever, but one thing, I've had enough of fire after that , I'd be warned if you do flame. Mwhahahahahahahahaha. sorry again and Cya.)
