Sapphire Vixen
Sun: Yay! An update! Will Sapphire take Draciel away?
Sapphire: (sarcastically) All fear my rein of terror.
Sun: XD Anyways, while all you out there are having fun, i go to summer school!
Sapphire: Woot.
Sun: Shaddup. And since there are no miminum days in summer school, that means I'll be changing the schedule from updating every Thursday to updating every Sunday. Sapphire, disclaimer!
Sapphire: I ain't your dog!
(Sun slips a twety dollar bill to Sapphire)
Sapphire: On second thought...SunFireVixen doesn't own Beyblade.Only the pathetic plots she makes, and that evil genius Fei, the weird driver Takato, Riza, and (sadly) Sapphire.
Sun: Thank you to all the reviewers!

Chapter 22: Emotionless
"Maxie!" Tyson yelled, and ran towards the gates.
Max smiled. "Hey, guys! What's with the gloomy faces? And let me in, already!" He shook the black gates. Tyson smiled as he reached the gates. He pulled them open. Max walked in, and gave Tyson a friendly hug. The walked together back to the rest.
"When did you get here, Max?" Tyson asked, a small grin on his face.
"Just now. I went to the dojo, but your grandpa said you were staying in this place." He took out a small paper with writing only seen as scribbles. They figured it was the address.
Then he suddenly turned around. "That reminds me...Kenny...he was looking for you, Tyson. He said he caught something very strange...it's was on his computer when he was watching the news-"
The small brown-haired boy appeared at the entrance gates. He leaned on one of the gates, panting heavily. He held Dizzi in his left arm.
"Hey, Kenny! Sorry I left you behind." Max said happily. "I was excited to see Tyson again."
"Yeah, well...whatever." Kenny mumbled, and walked over to them. "Anyways, I found something." He sat on the steps, and everybody gathered around him. He opened his laptop.
He opened a file, and a recording started to play. A reporter stood in front of a building.
"Katie here-"
They all groaned. It was the same reporter that had been at the airport when they had arrived back to Japan. Kenny suddenly paused the video, and zoomed in on certain spot.
It was a bit blurry, but they could barely make out the appearance of a girl of fourteen...riding on a giant blue, aquamarine, silver, orange, and silver dragon with very long claws.
"Dragoon?" They all blurted out, except for Kenny and Kai.
Kenny nodded. "The reporter didn't catch her though. That's good. Oh, this one should spark your interest, Ray."
Heopened another file. This time it was just a screencapture. He zoomed in again on a white, gold and green blurr that was barely noticeable.
Ray's eyes dilated. "Driger?"
Hilary gasped. Kenny nodded again. He zoomed even more, and they noticed Sapphire riding on the giant tiger's back. She held onto his neck, close to Driger. Driger was hovering in a midjump in the air, over a giant crowd of people.
"They didn't see Driger either. And this one's for you, Kai..." Kenny said, opening yet another file. A new window popped up. Kenny selected another file, and a video appeared.
"This one was taken about half an hour before. It was the first one. This was actually another recording of a news report, but someone nearby pointed at the sky, and-" He clicked play. "-they saw this."
The cameraman pointed the camera roughly at the cloudy sky. Lots of undistinguishable talking was heard in the background, then someone pointed at one of the fluffy clouds in the sky. The cloud suddenly faded, and a giant red and gold bird flew high over them.
"There's no mistake. It;s definitely Dranzer." Kenny said.
Shescreeched, and suddenly disappeared behind a cloud quickly again. Something blurry and redswooped down, and it disappeared behind some trees.
Kenny stopped the recording. "Funny thing...they all take place in New York." he said, switching back to the Dragoon video.
"I was right then." Ray said, and turned to Max. "She's after Draciel."
Max's eyes widened bit. "Sapphire? Why?"
At Tyson's Dojo...
"Where is he?" Sapphire asked.
"Little Tyson said he was going to your place-"
"Alright." she barked, and turned around, cutting Grandpa off. He slowly backed away from her, into the dojo, obviously freaked out. When Sapphire felt his prescence gone, she commanded Dranzer out again. The pheonix bent low, and Sapphire quickly climbed on her back.
"Take me back to my home, Dranzer."
'As you wish, Mistress.'
She flapped her wings, and pushed on the ground with her tremendous feet, making deep slashes on the cement with her claws. She hovered in the air for a moment, then flew back to her mistress's home.
"I...can't believe she would actually do that." Max said, after the rest of the team explained what happened.
Kai sat on the steps, looking down miserably at his blade. 'How could you? I...trusted you. Tell me that this never happened. Tell me that you haven't taken something that has been there for all of my life. That's stood beside me through my hell of a past. Tell me...'
They fell a strong gust of wind, and strong flaps. They looked up to see Dranzer, and Sapphire riding on her back. The phoenix landed gracefully in front of them. Dranzer inclined her head, and Sapphire slid her legs over to the side, and hopped off even more graceful than Dranzer.
Kai didn't look up, he knew it was them. Sapphire stared at Max with an angry expression on her face. Max backed away, clearly scared. Sapphire's eyes darkened to the dull and empty grey again.
"Give me the tortise." Sapphire said, advancing on him.
"Please don't, Sapphire. He's means alot to me, I can't let him-"
"I'm his proper mistress." she snapped her fingers, and Dragoon and Driger came out of her blade again, and sorrounded Max. Dranzer stood with her wings closed, next to Sapphire. She glared at Max with dull grey eyes. Max backed away even more. Then Tyson and Ray stood in front of Max, protecting him. Kai finally looked up. Sapphire held out her palm, and a shiny orb appeared. It grew bigger by the second.
"Give him to me, or I will attack all of you."
Kai's eyes widened. Adroplet of sweattraveled down the side of Tyson'sface as Dragoon gave a loud roar. Ray looked up at her in confidence, but his lower lip shook. Driger roared, and pawed at them dangerously, showing his claws.
'I will not allow you to take away my friends, Sapphire. They are all that I have left...!'
Kai stood, and before Sapphire could realease her attack, he grabbed her arm roughly, and pointed her hand up to the sky. Their faces were only inches apart. Sapphire gave him her nastiest glare.
Andshe stopped her attack,then thelight vanished.
"Let me go..." she said through clenched teeth.
Then he felt his hand wet. Dark blood traveled down her arm. He immediately let go. She held her arm, glowering at the pain. She panted heavily.
Dranzer gave a loud screech at Kai. She flapped her wings dangerously at him, and he backed away. When Dranzer was satisfied with the distance between Sapphire and him, she wrapped her red and gold wings around her protectively.
Kai stared down at his hand. Her blood slid down between his fingers. Sapphire's white wings appeared, and the mark in the shape of Kai's hand on her wrist disappeared. The blood on Kai's hand vanished. Sapphire patted Dranzer, and she backed away, and took her place at Sapphire's side.
"Don't you dare touch me again, Kai. Your flesh taints my blood." she spat. Her eyes became darker, almost black. She didn't look up, just stared hard at the floor. They all stared wide-eyed at Sapphire. Then she looked up, glaring at them. "Step aside and give me my Draciel. Now!" she yelled, making Hilary and Riza quiver in fear.
"Mistress, please-"
"Be quiet!" she yelled at Riza, and she backed away. She turned to Kai again. "Give me Draciel!" she yelled at him. He just looked down at her as she panted.
She glared up at him, and he whispered, "No."
Her pupils dilated. She then glared at him, another orb of light appearing on her hand. It grew bigger and bigger, and she pointed her hand at Kai. he did nothing but stare down at her, expressionless. She continued to glare at him, her lower lip trembling.
Then the orb stopped growing, then vanished with a swirl. She dropped her arm to her side. Dranzer started to screech and advance on Kai, but Sapphire shook her head. She sank to her knees, panting heavily.
Dranzer, Dragoon and Driger came back to her, and stood around Sapphire, protecting her. Sapphire fell backwards into Driger's paws. He nuzzled her neck, purring softly. She panted heavily, and her eyes slowly closed.
"Oh, how pityful."
They all looked up at the roof except Sapphire. Emerald sat cross-legged on the tiles.
"You idiots don't see it, don't you?" she stood, and with one jump, landed near Sapphire, smirking. Sapphire lazily opened her eyes.
"She's wounded. She is just like animal. And there's no way you could possibly heal that." Emerald said. Dragoon started to roar, but Sapphire silenced him. He curled his long blue and aquamarine spiked tail around Sapphire protectively. Emerald walked over to Sappphire, and stood over her. Sapphire made no move at all.
"It's so pityful to see a animal hurt. To see it bleed until it dies. Even though it still wants to live, it desperately wants to die. But all it feels right now...is misery. Hatred. Maybe even as far as being emotionless. Hmf. I doubt she feels...anything." she said, looking down at her.
"I...I, am nothing but emotion. When I was created, Fei's goal was to take what she held deep inside. What she kept hidden." she said, looking down at her robotic hands. "But the only thing she tried to hide was the sadness of her past. She was happy when she was with him. She loved him, and for him, she would erase her past, and start anew...just for him."
Kai stared down at Sapphire. She did nothing buy lie there, staring down at the ground with dull grey eyes.
"I am what he found when he searched deep inside her mind. Her dark feelings. Her dark past. I am...her emotions. Her feelings. And when she dies, I will disappear." she looked up at all of them with her dark green eyes
"We are differerent. We are a sin. And we don't belong here. We don't belong anywhere. That's why we must die. Because we will never belong. We will never be truly loved."
She stared down at Sapphire again. "A wounded animal. One that will never forgive the kind that let her blood spill. So what do you do with a wounded animal?" Emerald asked, and her nails grew long.
"You shoot it."
Sapphire looked up at her, but did nothing. Finally she spoke up. "I cannot die. My body automatically heals."
Emerald looked down at her, and sighed. Then she put her nails away again. She sat next to her. They looked down at each other with misery. Emerald sighed.
"We do have something in common..." Emerald looked up at them again. She smiled. "...we want to die. We don't want to feel anymore. We don't want to be the crap in this world. The dirt under everyone's feet."
"All we wanted was to be loved. To know that someone would care. That someone would hold us. And we waited-"
"-but we only got hate and hurt. The wait became hate. We became fools of you. We forgave...but you decieved us yet again. " Sapphire suddenly spoke, cutting Emerald off. Sapphire continued, "The wounds all of you made are still open, and we are still bleeding. They don't heal, and they hurt. We don't want to feel-"
"-hurt-"
"-pain-"
"-deceit-"
"-anymore...just...love." they both said.
Emerald glared up at them. "Now...it's just too late. We've waited enough. We are blind and deaf to your pleas..."
They both stared down at the ground. The only differences in their faces were their eyes. Emerald spoke again, turning to Sapphire.
"It's too late...she doesn't feel love. I don't think she even believes in love anymore..."
Sun: T.T
Sapphire: Dude. I'm not like that!
Sun: (shrugs) Oh, and no preview, today. The next chapter will be short, that's why i'll put it up on Sunday.
Please review, Thank you! Bai-bai!
