I don't own Beyblade, just the characters I created!
Thanks for the review!
A few weeks later, Ivy walked to the Dojo that weekend on a Sunday lazy afternoon. Her aunt had gone through everything with her, told her everything.
A lot of it still hasn't sunk in yet, but at least she didn't fell in the dark anymore. Sure It as weird getting used to the fact she was a Empath, but thanks to Mr. Dickinson and Max's mother, they where able to run tests to find it was more to do with Kinneka as well as her. It was like Kinneka amplified her empathic powers as her emotions heightened, thus using the strength to aid itself. Either for Kinneka is using it for herself or for beybattle that was yet to be determined.
Although Max's mum had some contacts, which led to Ivy being seen by some Specialists
specializing in her abilities. They ran through some exercises with her in order to teach her how to control her powers. She did prefer that she could get rid of them altogether, but for now this had to do.
Ivy sighed deeply as she approached the gates of the Dojo. She hadn't seen Tyson since that evening. She actually missed him in a sense, as she felt safe for the first time around him...
What the?
Ivy shook the passing thought of head and stuck her tongue at the concept of it. Tyson was just some kid that gets too excited over pizza.
But why did she feel so nervous standing at the gates?
Tyson stood in his room looking out of the window, polishing his blade at the same time.
Tyson's shoulders sank. "Geez I'm bored."
Grandpa is round Ivy's house catching up with her aunt, and Daichi is out training with Max and the rest of the guys. I knew I should have gone with them. Would take my mind of things. Hope she is ok...
He was deep in wonder, and didn't hear Ivy come in.
"Tyson?" Ivy called.
The sound of her voice made his stomach twitch a bit. He turned round and looked at the closed door.
"Tyson?" Ivy called again. I thought his grandpa said he would be here...
"Err hi..." Tyson said quietly coming out of his room.
Ivy turned round and smiled a little.
"Hi" she said quietly.
"Everything ok?"
"Yeah. You?"
Yeah I'm good. Whats happened then?"
"Well the police are on the look out for this guy after me, and thanks to Max's mum, I have been doing these exercises to help control these freaky powers I have" she said rubbing the back of her head.
"It's a lot to get used to" she shrugged.
"Yeah Grandpa told me. I would so be a superhero or something" Tyson pondered, half said to her.
"I think I would suck a lot considering I don't know how to use them Tyson," She laughed lightly.
"…Well what can I do for you?"
"Well I..." Ivy nervously.
What the hell? Why am I so nervous? It's only him!
"Erm I wanted to say thank you" she finally said.
"Thank you? What for?" Tyson asked curiously.
"Well for you knows, coming to my rescue…." Ivy said with a roll of the eyes.
"Oh that"
"Yes, that."
"Your welcome!" Tyson eventually smiled. "Anything for my friends. They are one of the most important things to me."
"As well as food?" Ivy said without thinking. She cupped her mouth in surprise.
"Yeah as well as food!" Tyson retorted, with a frown.
"There is more to me then you may think you know" he said in defiance, folding his arms.
"Sorry Tyson" She laughed sarcastically.
"Urgh...its ok…you're not the first so wont be the last" he shrugged.
A few moments of silence surrounded them. Ivy found herself, looking deeply in to his eyes. Her eyebrows arched in pleasant surprise, realizing indeed there is more to him then meets the eye. Couristy in the form of a grin crept across her face.
Tyson looked back at her, why is she smiling? Oh god it's those powers she has, she can read my mind! Urgh crap! Tyson panicked quietly to himself, as that warm twitch grew more intense, taking precedence over every other thought.
"Why the grin" he asked eventually.
Ivy snapped back to reality. She re-focused, and processed his question...urgh what do I say...
"Erm I was thinking how I would kick your hiny at the festival if your still up for it" she said quickly.
"Oh yeah, you betchya!" he winked.
"Won't you have a unfair advantage though?"
"Oh don't worry about that. I have been fitted with a suppressor that I can wear so I can only use my actual beyblading skills and that's it"
"Hmm it will be fun. See how you really blade!" Tyson smiled.
"Oh it will" She assured. " We will have Lots of fun Tyson" she winked.
Tyson read that though the wrong way and raised an eyebrow.
Reading his face, Ivy blushed lightly. Oops now, I've done it.
"Well erm I...better go...you looked like you was really busy"
Yeah thinking about you. Tyson thought back.
"Well I going to get some training done…so well yeah...See you at school tomorrow?"
"Yeah ok" Ivy nodded. With that she left Tyson standing in the hallway.
What was all that about?
"Oh Tyson?"
"Yeah"
Ivy peeped her head around the corner back at him and smiled.
"Well, Thank you for being my friend"
Tyson rubbed his nose in a nervous laugh. He grinned.
"No problem" he said.
Hillary sighed as she was laid among the grass the watching the clouds dance across the sky past her.
The boys where balding down in a nearby clearing, so Hilary decided to relax for a minute.
She glanced over to one side. Everyone was busy in a battle with each other, pushing themselves to their limits. Tyson should be here, not moping like he has been lately. She tuted to herself. She needed to have words later.
She let her eyes fall on Kai. She has been finding herself so intrigued in him as of late, mainly what is going in that head of his. She loved to know more then anything. She sighed to herself,
Looking back up to the sky.
I should try talking to him more. Nah…god he would look straight through that…he would know something is up.
She glanced back towards him. And then their eyes locked. Kai was staring straight back at her. Hilary's eyes widened and she shot her glance right back up at the sky again. Darn, not again she muttered inside.
Kai had to sneak a smirk to himself as he turned to start another battle with Rei. He wouldn't openly admit it but he was enjoying these silent games with her over the last couple of weeks.
An hour later everyone decided to wrap it up and get something to eat.
"I am starving" Daichi exclaimed. "Nothing like a good session to build up a appetite" he grinned, as everyone walked towards a dinner in town.
"Shouldn't we get Tyson? You know that he would be heart broken if we didn't" Kenny pointed out as they walked down the street.
"Well it's his stupid fault for being lazy and not wanting to come training" Kai replied.
"But dude, whats up with that? Rei protested. "Since when does he give up going on practice"?
"I don't know…. I guess he was freaked by Ivy…I guess not all is what is seems" Max suggested.
"Whatever it is it not our problem" Kai said walking in the dinner. "As long it doesn't disrupt his blading."
Tyson's stomach seemed to be physic or something and grumbled so hard Tyson grabbed it in surprise.
"Geez I need to find food" he moaned. "Gramps is still out…perfect excuse for takeout" he said rubbing his hands in determination, and walked out the dojo.
Ivy rubbed her arm as she strolled home. "Well that went well, not" she sighed.
"Now what are you doing alone little girl" a voice sneered from behind.
Ivy spun round, her eyes widened as she recognized whom it was.
"You again! What do you want!" Ivy hissed at the voice that belonged to the smoking man in the alley from two weeks ago.
"I want the commodity that's going to pay me well" The stranger said, holding his hand out to Ivy.
"Well you can shove it where the sun don't shine buddy" Ivy snarled loading her blade in her launcher. "Because I am not going without a fight"
"Well I don't intend you wouldn't my dear" The man said flicking away a cigarette. He stepped forward. "It is about time we got acquainted"
Ivy eyed him as he came in to view. He was tall and lean build, with shoulder length jet-black hair, with piercing blue eyes, added with visible insanity to make you shiver with what he could be capable of. He was dressed in an all black suit which it easy for him to mold with the darkness.
"Let me introduce myself" he sneered, grinning.
"The name is Ethan, and you going to hate that name by the end of this" he smiled.
"Bring it" Ivy flared, aiming her blade at his face.
A second blade launched at Ivy's feet.
"I wouldn't do that tiny" another voice hissed. Ivy looked blankly at the owner of the blade.
"who are you?" she spluttered, still keeping her blade aimed at Ethan.
Ethan folded his arms casually and chuckled.
"Now now Hana, we discussed your manners" Ethan said sarcastically.
"Well I am sorry Ethan" The young woman sneered. "But Watch you back little Ivy"
Ivy looked at her confused. Hana, dressed in a black cat suit with a thick brown waist belt to match, smirked playing with her long dark blue hair, her brown eyes gleaming.
"Yes watch your back, you don't really have any idea how many enemies you have" Ethan said, walking towards her.
Ivy backed up unsure what to do, she was only a kid, its not like she could seriously fight them off, not with her suppressor engaged. Panic raised in her. Why couldn't she be normal and eat burgers or something, and blade and have friends like any other kid?
All of a sudden, a third blade collided with Hana's, sending it out of the way of Ivy.
"What in blazes!" Hana demanded, turning around.
"I don't think so some how" Tyson sneered, holding his launcher.
"Lets go dragoon!"
Dragoon was only too happy to oblige. The blade headed for Hana's.
Hana eyed Ethan. He looked down and shook his head.
"Another time squirt!" Hana hissed. "I will be looking forward to it too, we now have a score to settle!" she snarled, holding her hand out. Her red and white blade instantly jumped in to her hand.
Hana backed off and ran down the street, weaving in out people as they walked past.
Ethan watched her run down the street, and he glanced to Tyson evilly.
"I am now starting to get real annoyed with you lad" Ethan snarled.
Tyson called back his blade, and ran across the street, and pulled Ivy behind him.
"like I said you have to go through me pal!" Tyson spat.
"You want to get in my way? Fine. But you are responsible for any now lets just say accidents" he grinned towering above Tyson.
"You have no place in this ball game kid, stay out of it otherwise your friends will pay!" he threatened.
"You don't scare me!" Tyson scoffed.
"Oh perhaps I will do soon. I just had word your friends are eating in a dinner down the street. Hmmm. Maybe I should send them an after dinner mint…" he pondered sarcastically.
Tyson eyed him intently. It seemed as he grew older his enemies grew more dangerous.
"I can't let you take her she isn't a thing you buy in a shop" Tyson protested.
Ivy Held on his arm tightly. "Tyson I cant let you get hurt with your friends" she replied.
"But Ivy"
"Tyson please. I wouldn't know what to do if you where hurt." She said seriously.
Tyson glanced into her eyes and relented a little. "…No…I cant, No Ivy and that's the end of it"
"Well as you two can't make a choice, let me make a suggestion. I know you little kiddies want a fight, so lets have one. Now as you can see the people I associate with are champion adult bladers. You can beat them in the festival next week…fine we won't pursue Ivy anymore. But if we win…I get my toy…..understand"
"We can't trust you!" Tyson spluttered. "for we know you could double cross us!"
"Well that's the risk you going to have to take"
"No dice"
"No? how about now?" Ethan held a little black box from his pocket and pressed a button.
"Man that was good" Max declared, sitting back patting has belly. "Nothing Noodles and mustard I say"
Rei smirked and took a sip of tea. "So are we all geared for the festival guys?"
"The tea is finished" Hilary observed peering in to the teapot. "I'm going to get myself a cup"
She said excusing herself she headed for the counter.
Daichi looked blankly all of a sudden at the window.
"Whats up Daichi?" Kenny asked observing the red heads signature blank look when he didn't understand something.
"Why are those bladers standing outside with their blades aimed at the windows"
"No time get down!" Rei shouted as the four blades where launched by the four adults.
The four blades penetrated the glass planes one by one sending chaos in its wake of people
Screaming trying to get out harms way as shards of glass flew everywhere.
Hilary instinctively ducked down upon hearing the glass, heading out of harms way, trying to ignore the terrified screams .
Everyone just managed to duck under the table as the glass plane shattered with a noise that made you cup your ears in fear. Kai looked for Hilary from under the table.
"Where is Hilary? HILARY!" Kai shouted, the light hint of emotion evident in his voice.
"Wasn't she supposed to get some tea?" Rei shouted over the noise.
Max pointed her out cowering under the counter.
Kai locked on ahead.
"Hilary!" Kenny shouted.
Hilary was trying to weave her way through the debris towards them.
"Dude" Rei nodded to the coffee machine, above the counter.
"One of the blades is lodged in it. Its going to blow!" he said seriously.
"Hilary hurry!" Max pleaded.
Kai bolted to her out from under the table, pushing terrified customers who where trying to get out of the dinner out of his way.
Hilary stood up, and started to run towards Kai, keeping her eyes on locked on his, so she could find her way to him.
"No Hilary get down!"
Hilary didn't get a chance to react when the coffee machine exploded from behind. She fell forward bumping her head on the floor. Kai got to her and gathered her in his arms.
"You guys get out of here now!" he shouted jumping out of the now window frame.
Everyone else followed suit.
"Is she ok?" Kenny asked, running up to Kai as he settled Hilary down.
Everyone else made their way out of the dinner and ran to Kai worried about Hilary.
"She is out cold. We need to get her to a hospital, she hit her head"
Daichi looked panicked, and homed down an approaching ambulance.
Tyson and Ivy was hopeless, but to watch the chaos down the street.
Ethan walked casually behind Tyson and bent down to behind his ear.
"Now I guess you will have to trust me, isn't that right Tyson?"
"…Yes" Tyson said quietly watching them lift Hilary in to the ambulance.
"Good" Ethan said standing upright. " A battle it is. You win she stays, if I win she comes with me?"
"You have no idea who you are dealing with do you?" Tyson said out of character.
"I don't do I? Now you see that's amusing!" Ethan exclaimed.
"I dealt with scum like you before, with Bega, Boris, Gideon, you name it I have dealt with it. We all have dealt with it. And we will deal with YOU. " Tyson said seriously. "See you at the festival" he said dragging Ivy along.
Ethan smirked and watched as Tyson dragged Ivy down the street.
"And so it begins" he said lighting another cigarette.
