The day after the announcement. At the airport.
- You must be thrilled, Kinomiya, isn´t this is the town where the kidnappers took you and then they died and a simple peasant took you in?
- It´s Granger, and not peasant – material arts master and leader of a great dojo, Richard. Tyson spat the other teens name as if it disgusted him to even say it.
Richard is a tall young count, 19 years old ) that inheirited his titel when his father died, and very snobby, like the rest of the spoiled team. Richard is the team leader and has dark green hair and bored green eyes, pale and look like a life-like porcelain doll.
- Whatever, let´s find a decent hotel around here –if there are any...
- Don´t interrupt, Eric, it´s not polite.
Eric is also very spoiled, but rather good looking with his dark brown hair and kind blue eyes, he has a vey kind and diplomatic attitude but is a bit strict and formal
- I am sorry, Richard, but please call "Kinomiya" by his first name. And Prince Tyson, you behave now, I do not wish to report to your dear parents that you disbehave when returning here – understood?
- I don´t belive he does, a third boy snicker, our prince is very rebelious one. But then again- he grew up as a commoner. It´s like a fairytale.
- Shut up, Malcom, or I will make you.
Malcom is like he other two, he has black eyes, blond hair and is a bit of a bully.
- Now,now, that´s not a correct way of speaking back, prince Tyson. Or do I have to help you to remember that?
- No, Tyson answers gloomy and walk away, you don´t Eric.
- Good. Now let us find a hotel, comrades, shall we?
Um. I rather stay in a motel, Eric, I really need a breake from all this luxury.
- Ok,prince Tyson, but remember to keep your mobile on.
- I will, Tyson answer with a fake smile, I shall try to remember that.
- Good, go on then, see you tomorrow at eight am.
Tyson pretend not to hear that and wander off.
- do you think he goes back to that fosterhome of his?
- No, Richard, he know he is not allowed to do so.
- Eric is correct, Richard, he know he is not allowed. Do not worry, he should not have been so sad all the way here if he thought of defying his orders.
- You are probably right, we can let him be alone, he will just sulk in his room – as he always does.
The team walks to the nearby five star hotel and check in. Then they let themselves be even more spoiled by the staff.
With Tyson. He has checked in to a very cheap motel and is now heading towards he dojo.
I have to get home! I can´t sand this anymore!
He find himself running like his life depended on it. When he finally reaches the dojo it is locked. So he jumps over the surrounding wall and land safely on the ground on the other side then he knock on the door. Gramps open.
- who is it? I wanna be alone.
- It´s me ,Gramps, Tyson. Tyson answer with tears running down his cheeks and hitting the ground softly.
- T-T-T-TYSSOONN!YOU ARE BACK!
- Yes, gramps, I´m finally home again. I have missed you so much. Why didn´t you answer all my letters? I wrote everyday, but I got nothing back, thought you didn´t like me anymore.
- What are you talking about! I haven´t got a single "hi" note from you since you left. We sent a lot of letters,even a tape. Of course I don´t like you, I love you Tyson. Tell me everything.
Gramps hug Tyson close to him, comforting the crying teen he love so much , and listen To his sobbing story of what has happened. He don´t say a word until Tyson is finished.
- A-and so I-I ran here as if my l-life depended on it. Then you know the rest.
- Shh. I see , those bastards probably took your letters and then threw away both your and our letters, I am very furious with them right now. But I am so happy you came here anyway, even if they forbid you to, I have missed you a lot too.
but it hurt my heart to see you this broken and devastated,Tyson, you look like you have been so unhappy with those horrible people.
Tyson can´t stop crying, and is ashamed of himself for being so weak , but it feels so reliaving to cry until all the bad feelings is gone.
- Tyson, you are more then welcome to stay here – at least until you have to go back again.
- T- thanks, Gramps, I´d love to.
- Then it´s a deal. Welcome home,Ty,I will put out your futon for ya.
- Thanks again Gramps, but why are the gate locked? It´s only 5 pm?
- Hehe, I became a bit anti-social and so when you never wrote back to us – so I only goes out to buy food .
- Gramps!
- I know.
- How about the others?
- They miss you too.
- I really want to explain to them I didn´t leave them – that I´never will- whatever my "parents" say.
- I think they know,Ty, but you can tell them tomorrow. You look like hell has used you as a chewingtoy these months.
- And it feels that way too, and like we haven´t seen each other for ages!
- Sure does!
But ( seeing I seem to want this part really sappy – for reasons unknown even to myself) In that exact moment.
- Gramps! Open this door now! You can´t lock yourself in forever!
- Ooops. Sounds like your homies are back to drag me out again.
- Sounds like Max. A very angry, pissed off, Max
The whole team jumps over the same way Tyson did. And when they see who sits beside Gramps, still crying silently, they all get a shock.
- T-T-TYSON! You are here! Max cries happily and hug his best friend, causing Tyson to smile his firs real smile for two months .
- You look like you been through hell.
- I HAVE! Tyson yell as a answer and tell them his story again.
- Whahahahah! They made you take behaviour lessions! Kai can´t resist laughing.
- And fighting lessions. I can kick your ass at many new ways if you keep on laughing at my horror memories from that hellhole.
- Sorry ,Tyson, but it sound so unbelivable. To send you to behaviour lessions, it´s like sending a cat to a dogtraining area, but for the rest it sounds a bit like the abbey.
- God, I'm glad I didnt turn out the same way as you did, horrible. Tyson snickers
- That would only been good for you.
- One could think that each other how much they missed the other one, I don´t talk TyKa-ish and barely understand it.Ray snickers
- TyKa- ish? What´s that?
- Tyson and Kai´s own weird language, you understand every word they say but you usually don´t understand what they really mean, unless you are Tyson or Kai – or ,sometimes, me.
- That was the lamest name I ever heard! Kai spit out
- Ok, that mean " okay, now they get it, better talk about this later"
- Um, Ray, ever thinking of getting a CAT- scan done soon? You freak me out with that weird theory of yours. We both mean what we say, or are jokeing with each other – no hidden messages. Tyson say in a confused voice.
- And that really means " Ray, stop it, this is private and something between me and Kai. You really don´t need to try figure this out, because you won´t like what you find out".
- Don´t be ridiculous,Ray, of course we know they mean to say other things. But you analyzes the whole thing too hard and make it harder then it is.
Kai and Tyson backs off.
- I never knew we had such a complicated language between each other, and I really start to think Ray need a vacation soon.
- We don´t ,Tyson, but we do commuicate in a different way then most people. We uses a way to tell each other things in a way we easily understand – but for them it is weird. And yes, Ray need a vacation soon, he start to flip out.
- And what are you two whispering about?
- Nothing much, Max, just chatting about the comming match.
- Tell us all, then, Ty.
- First they send out the team leader – Richard. Kai should go up against him and his Icery Blizzard, his "dragon" is more of a oversized lizzard and of th Ice elemental. Kai can easily defeat Richard. Then those fools send out Eric, his dragon is out of shadows and is called shadowed skull, Ray is the best opponent to meet him. Max should go against Malcom, Malcoms firebolt of fury will get extinguished by Draciels water and defence powers. So: 1. Kai vs. Richard 2.Ray vs. Eric and 3. Max vs. Malcom. I wasn´t allowed to play for some reason – they only want to torment me by coming back here. If they change that, remember who should meet who, and if I get sent out – I won´t put up a fight. I wont help them, and I will always be a Bladebreaker.
- We know that this isn´t your choise, Tyson, don´t worry – we will always see you as a Bladebreaker.
Tysons mobile starts roaring
- Yes? ( short pause) yes, Eric I checked in at my motel, why? ( another pause) how did you guess that? ( pause) No, I´m not at my "fosterhome" as you call it. I am not allowed to do so - remember? Yes I remember. I´m just sulking – as usual- No I don´t want you to come here. I just don´t. Leave me alone for once! I do not need you to babysit me, I can take care of myself, so just do whatever.bye.
- You lied.
- Yes, I did, I started doing that more often since I had to move – just to get rid of them all. They all got poles stuck so far up their asses that they can´t listen to anyone, I can´t stand them! They aren´t my teammates, hell, those three are more of three babysitters – that takes their work too seriously. They report to my " Parents" once and a while during this trip.I actually dislikes them all, more or less.
- Sounds very boring.
- It is. And they would prefer to keep me in a cage.
- What do your parents work as? To afford three babysitters?
- I was afraid you would ask, cheif, my biological parents are king and queen of Ryuunochi. Its a hidden country but a rather big one.
- So, that means that you are the prince?
- Don´t even say it, please, I don´t want to hear that word again.
- Why not?
- Because I don´t like the images I get while hearing that , I see a cage and a lot of paperwork. I don´t like it a bit. I rather be a normal and fully happy teenager from Beycity,with normal problems and beybladingpractises on the afternoon. Their practise is a lazy, good-for-nothing-style, and they let their blades and bit-beasts do all the work for them. So they got no control at all over their blades.
- Oh,you even miss our practise? You are in serious need of help if you miss that .
- That´s not a correct way to talk to another being, Tyson say in a mockingly snobby voice, my dear friend. I so hate that formal way to talk!
But why? do all people from your homecountry talk that way?
- I don´t know. At least they always talk very formal when I´m around, and the times I ran away, all they did was looking at me as I was a cute little kitty or something that doesn´t know its place.
- Sound like you alright.
- Meanie.
- You bet I am.
- Cool it you two. No need to kill eachother.
They all laugh at the bizare in that statement. None of the two would ever go so far that they actually killed each other.
They go into the dojo and pick out some futons for the night.
- good night, dudes, see ya.
- ´night gramps.
At midnight, Kai wakes up, a noice is heard.
What on earth was that?no one should be up at this time. The others are still in their respective beds, Gramps is worse then Tyson used to be at waking up at all. So who the hell is it? A intruder? I have to check up on this...
Kai walks out of the dojo and see a tall figure standing at the gate.
- I see I am spotted.
- Yes. Now leave this property, or I will call the police.
- I ´m here to get our prince..
- So. You think we would let you bastards get him, because you say you cam here to get him? I don´t think so. He wants to be here .
- That´s not Tysons decision to make. And ,beides, Tyson will get married no matter what.
- Married? He didn´t tell us.
- He doesn´t know yet. And that´s how things shall be.
- Oh, so you believe he will just let it happen? Hell no, he will fight against it.
- We know he will fight it, but he can´t escape it, he will get married to a young russian baron. The gentleman have a strict attitude which will be good for our prince´s running away idéas. The baron shall be able to keep him at his place.
- Your people seem really stupid to me, Tyson wont stay if he doesn´t want to, you can´t stop him.
- We´ll see about that. Now , let me pass, I have things to do.
Kai refuses to move and get attacked by this stranger and Kai feel his world go black.
Tyson...don´t let them ruin you...keep on fighting for what you belive in...
Tyson wakes up when he feel strong arms wrap around him and lifting him carefully.
What the...?
He open his eyes and see Eric holding him close.
- Nyu?
- Continue sleeping, Tyson, we will talk about this later.
Tyson already know it´s no use to try be even more disobeyant this night, so he do as been told and sleep.
- You scared me almost to death when I couldn´t find you in your room, I guess your homesickness got overwhelming, because I know you usually doesn´t dare disobey me, and it took over your rational thinking.
( he doesn´t know Tyson very much, as I belive you already noticed, but Tyson is a bit afraid of Erics punishment. When Tyson disobeys him, Eric place Tyson on a chair,hold him in place with one hand,and then just stares at him for hours until Tyson is absolutly terrified. ((RN: My mother does that to me when I disobey her, like the time I stopped eating school lunch – she just stared at me for thirty minutes, no emotions showing at all, staring blankly at me - Until I promised, and seiously meant it, to not skip another school lunch or she´d become even more scarier. I´ve never done it again. Though its not my fault that food taste plastic, hell – those poatoes can actually bounce !))major sweatdrop!)
