"Wow Tyson's some champion," Kei smirked towards Rei, "his skills are clearly showing."

"Rei, don't! He's trying to rile us up." Max said grabbing onto Rei's arm. "Tyson won't lose. He never gives up."

"I'm not so sure, Max. He's been in there for eight minutes and that cloud's only getting bigger. What if he dies in there?" Rei looked at Max, full of sadness and worry.

"Tyson may not be the smartest tool in any shed, but when it comes to beyblading, he's got the heart that's for sure. I agree with Max. Tyson won't lose. There's no way he'd lose to an arrogant jerk like Kei." Kenny cut in, nodding to not only ease his friends but himself as well. "When it comes to his friends, Tyson can't lose."

"Okay, okay think! Kai mentioned Dranzer, but why?" Tyson thought out loud. Kai's clue left him puzzled and back to where he had started- nowhere. "Does Dranzer have something to do with how I get out of here? No, that can't be right. Dranzer is Kai's…beyblade. That's it!"

Tyson smiled as he figured out what exactly Kai had meant when he said "Dranzer".

"Now all I have to do is…" Tyson trailed as the darkness shuttered around him as if it were alive. More coughing and blood followed suit.

"Drag-" Tyson stopped and his whole body instantly felt weak as though all his vitality was being sucked out of him.

"No, I won't give up! Not when Kai came and help me! Dragoon! Dragoon!" Tyson shouted as he put all his strength into his voice.

Outside the darkness, his teammates watched as the cloud rumbled louder and began swirling together into a giant sphere.

"I guess time's up." Kei smirked as he watched his technique working perfectly. Rei, Max and Kenny stared in fear while hoping that Tyson would come out alive. Max glimpsed Dragoon speeding towards the sphere with Dreiser hot on his heels.

"What's Dragoon doing?" Max asked out loud as Kenny and Rei turned and focused on Dragoon.

"He can't be…" Rei began as his voice became silent.

"He's not really going to…" Kenny stated as he too left his thoughts unfinished.

"He's going into the circle!" Max shouted as Dragoon picked up speed and headed straight for the black circling cloud. Fire started shooting out from areas all around the blackish sphere.

"Dreiser, stop Dragoon! Stop him!" Kei yelled with a hint of worry in his voice. Dreiser followed close behind Dragoon but pulled away abruptly after Dragoon smashed into the sphere and vanished within.

Suddenly Tyson's voice echoed throughout the room, "Dragoon, Galaxy Turbo Twister!"

The room exploded with a rush of wind currents while breaking the sphere into small blackish balls of flame that extinguished rapidly due to the fast pace wind that seemed to suck the oxygen from the fires more than fueling it. The winds slowly died down as the room cleared. When the remaining smoke cleared, Tyson's body lay still on the ground as all eyes focused on him.

"Tyson!" Max shouted in disbelief.

"Wake up Tyson! You have to beat Kei and save Kai! You can't die yet!" Rei yelled as tried to control his body from shaking. Tears began to well up in his, along withMax's and Kenny's.

Tyson's body jerked suddenly as a small whine escaped from his lips. "Owwwww, that really hurt!"

He sat up slowly and looked around. He saw his teammates' sad and worried faces. "Hey guys cheer up! I'm not dead yet. Well I think I'm not…" Tyson pinched himself to make sure. "Ow! Okay definitely not dead."

Max and Kenny laughed as Rei smiled. Kei was the only one that looked upset. Tyson stood up and faced Kei.

"That was pretty cheap but I guess you were too afraid to beat me fairly." Tyson challenged as Kei glared.

"Beating you is easy. I just thought it would be a lot more entertaining if I used Kokushibyou and plus you seemed like the perfect person to practice it on. Too bad it failed." Kei replied as though he didn't care even when he still appeared to be angry.

"I won so now you leave like you promised." Tyson replied as he now struggled to stand.

"I don't think so," Kei replied. "There's something you failed to notice. Both blades are still spinning."

Tyson looked down and saw that Kei was right. Both Dragoon and Dreiser were still spinning. Tyson stare in disbelief and worry.

"Oh no, I think Tyson's really in trouble now." Rei stated. "He looks like he can barely stand and Kei's not even done yet."

Max and Kenny watched on in worry.

Tyson steadied himself and grinned before he spoke. "Dragoon, ready?"

Dragoon glowed brightly for a moment before returning to normal. "Then let's do this. Win or lose, let's give him all we got!" Dragoon glowed again in response.

Kei watched Tyson, warily. "Dreiser, prepare yourself!"

"Now Dragoon! Attack!" Tyson yelled as Dragoon sped towards Dreiser, increasing his speed rapidly.

"Dreiser! Attack!" Kei yelled as Dreiser increased her speed towards Dragoon.

"Dragoon!" Tyson yelled and instantly a large blue dragoon appeared out of his blade, power flashing all around him.

"Dreiser!" Kei yelled in response as a red jaguar-shaped animal surrounded by thick black smoke appeared out of Dreiser's blade.

Time seemed to stop as the two blades raced towards their destination; each other. Each blader yelled their bit beast's name one last time before a large flash of light and black smoke filled the entire room. Only three screams could be heard during the explosion- Dreiser's, Dragoon's and Tyson's.
