Kai's Bad Day

By Dark Ice Dragon

Randomness and Bitbeasts


Kai scoffed. Somehow he didn't think that that would work. He raised an eyebrow for his answer.

He got a smile in return. "Well, how about Daisuke or Yoshi? I always wanted to be called one of those."

Kai twitched. "'Great help' or 'free'? Why -"

"Whoa whoa whoa," the other Kai waved his hands in the 'stop' gesture. "I'm not picking those names because of their meanings; I just like them. Seriously." He was stared at for a minute before Kai asked another question.

"You said that you always wanted to be called Daisuke or Yoshi - does that means that I've also wanted to be called those?"

The other Kai looked thoughtful. "I have no idea. Maybe you wanted to - deep, deep, deep down in your heart." A shrug. "I only know that I wanted to be called one of those after I freed myself from the Mary Sues." The other Kai sighed and started gazing into the blue sky. "It's probably because I don't feel 'Kai' suits me anymore."

"How do you know that it isn't some after-effect from the Mary Sues?"

A wince and a grimace from the other boy. "Because, they wanted to change my name to things like Ryuu, Hideaki, Kenshin, Kyo, Yukiko, the list went on and on." A pause. "So... Daisuke or Yoshi?"

"Why does it have to be me?" Kai ground out, trying to make his mind stop translating the names.

The other Kai rolled his eyes. "Because I can't exactly waltz up to Tyson and ask him, can I? 'Hey, I know I basically just popped outta nowhere and that's because I did. I'm actually from a parallel world and you know me as Kai here. Since I can't go by that name here, what do you think's better; Daisuke or Yoshi? The real Kai? Where'd I take him? Sorry, I can't tell you anything,'" the other Kai finished sarcastically.

"Fine," Kai snapped. "Yoshi. Happy?"

The other Kai grinned. "Nope. Call me Daisuke."

Kai was this close to slapping his forehead. "Why did you ask me if you weren't going to agree with it?"

"If you like it, it means that it's closer to you than what I want to be. I kinda want a name that has no connection to you." Daisuke(?) suddenly winced. "I think a May Sue once tried to change my name to Iratawih Iak."

"E-rata-wi Ii-ah-ku? What the... You must be joking."

"I wish I was."

"Why would -" Unfortunately, the rest of Kai's question wasn't asked since a pit suddenly formed underneath his feet and he fell into it with a thump. He sat there dazed before checking on himself to make sure that nothing was broken (there wasn't). He picked himself up and looked around.

The hole's diameter was bigger than him so he could have laid down and still have enough space to spread out his arms; the walls were craggy enough to maybe be used as footholds. Looking up, Kai gauged the depth of the hold to be about over double his height - just over what he could jump to grab the edge.

Kai saw Daisuke's head as he peered over the edge. "You okay?"

Nodding, Kai asked, "What is this?"

Daisuke gave Kai a lopsided grin. "It's a plot-hole. Hang on..." His head disappeared from view.

'A plot-hole? What plot?' Kai looked up when Daisuke reappeared.

"Here, grab this." A rope was thrown down. Kai stared at it. Okay, maybe it wasn't a rope. But where did Daisuke get a rein from though?

Kai gripped the rein and pulled it experimentally; it held. 'He must have tied it to a tree.' Glancing up, he couldn't see anyone else. He was probably at the tree making sure that the rein wouldn't break or untie itself. Kai hauled himself up quickly and once he was out completely, Kai was instantly face to face with an animal.

A llama in fact.

And it was staring at him.

Kai scowled at it but all it did was blink. "Stupid animal," he muttered.

"Eh, sorry about that. If I try to pull him -I assume it's a he anyway- he keeps on going back to the plot-hole." Kai looked past the llama to glare at Daisuke.

"Couldn't you tie it to a tree?"

He got a shake of the head. "Nope. I used that to help you get out... Ah."

Kai raised an eyebrow at this. In the background, he could head a chittering noise. 'Ah? Why was he looking over the- ...What the hell is that?'

Behind the blue-haired blader was a monkey.

A purple monkey.

A purple monkey with freaking wings.

"This isn't good," Kai head Daisuke say. Kai gave him a 'ya think?' look. "Well, this is when random things start happening."

Kai twitched. "Random. A llama and a purple monkey aren't random enough?"

"No. And now we're going to have to make sure that we don't fall into any more plot-holes."

"What is a plot-hole?"

Daisuke suddenly looked embarrassed. "It's kinda hard to explain. Basically, a plot-hole happens when there's a mistake in a plot. Something that shouldn't be there."

Kai gave him a flat look. "If there's something extra, how does a hole appear and right underneath someone?"

"Well," -a shrug- "they can happen anywhere, anytime." Kai was watching him suspiciously. "Yeah, a plot is something you have in a book but..." -a sigh- "it really shouldn't bother you right now."

Knowing full well that something was being kept from him, Kai gingerly stepped away from the llama (was this the animal that spat in your face if it didn't like you?) and asked another question.

"What do we do with the monkey and the llama?"

:-:-:

Light blue eyes opened and glanced in the room that it was in. -'Where...where am I?'- the being thought muzzily. The being looked at his hands... His hands. Eye widening, the boy did a check over himself, paling at everything he saw. -'This can't be happening.'- The boy covered his face with his hands.

A beyblade drew his attention from his despair.

-'Of course... If I can just-'- The boy picked up the blue beyblade and left the room.

:-:-:

Kai and Daisuke were back into the urban part of the city when they passed a girl on a bench. Walking past her, Kai only stopped because Daisuke was in front of the girl, peering at her intently. The girl was ignoring him by staring at her lap.

"Hey... you okay?" he asked softly.

The girl sniffed. "'M fine."

Then, Daisuke leaned in a whispered something in her ear. She jerked back and stared at him.

Frowning, Kai looked closer at the girl. Apart from the purple hair, there didn't seem to be anything special about her. He didn't feel any different so why was Daisuke paying so much attention to her?

"You know her, Kai," Daisuke said with that smile again. "Don't recognise her? No? To jolt your memory, her name's Draciel."

"Draciel," Kai repeated.

"Yup."

"Draciel is now human?"

"Yup."

"Why." Not a question; a demand.

"Why do you think? There is no reason. It's another effect caused by the Mary Sues."

Kai scowled and crossed his arms. "Is there a way to revert her to her original form?"

Daisuke coughed. "That may be a problem. It depends on what this Draciel is." He motioned a hand to the human Draciel. "You see, she could be a bitbeast that's been turned into a human or she could be a human that was cursed to a be a bitbeast." Looking at her, he asked, "So, which one are you?"

Draciel glanced up and said stubbornly, "I was born a bitbeast - I was never a human."

Nodding, Daisuke turned to Kai. "This'll be easy then. Just call upon Dranzer's power, she'll tell you what to do."

Easy. Turning a bitbeast-human back into a bitbeast. Nooo, since turning something physical into an intangible form was easy, Kai grumbled mentally. Closing his eyes, he thought of the power that he had just recently gained access to. When he felt the power within his mind he reached for it. Instantly, he could feel it running through his veins.

-'Concentrate. Make the power move to your hands like how you summon the Spork.'- Kai did as he was instructed. -'Open your eyes.'- Doing so, Kai felt that what he was seeing was too bright. Why was that? He'd only closed his eyes for a few minutes. -'It's okay, it'll go back to being normal after a while. Now, place your hands on Draciel's forehead and her beyblade.'- There was a few seconds pause while Draciel got her beyblade out to give to Kai. -'Okay, gently push my power into her though your hands. Do it too fast and you'll hurt her,'- Dranzer warned. Kai could see that glow around his hands transferring. After a little while, he somehow knew that he was just over half-way when it happened.

"Finally! I've been searching for you for some time now."

Out of pure reflex, Kai away from Draciel to face the newcomer. It was a boy with light blue eyes, blue hair and the majority of his clothing was blue.

Groaning (but with a smile, always with a smile) Daisuke said, "Dragoon, I presume?"

The boy nodded. "Yep. I know this happened because of the Mary Sues and I knew that Kai and Dranzer were fighting them so I wondered if you knew how to turn me back?" he asked, turning to Kai.

Draciel glared at Dragoon. "He can since he was helping me first. Thanks to you, I'm transparent!" Indeed she was. You could actually see the bench that she was sitting on through her.

"If you don't mind, Dragoon, I think Kai wants to work in silence. Can you tell me if Driger comes near so we can tell him to be quiet?" Daisuke asked quickly, probably sensing how close Kai was to losing his temper.

"Yeah, sure."

Hopeing that Daisuke would be able to make sure that Dragoon stayed silent (if beyblader and bitbeast were alike, Kai found this unlikely) Kai got back to turning human back into bitbeast.

:-:-:

Kai gave a little sigh when he had finished. In his hand was Draciel and his other clutched thin air. He turned around to see that a green-haired, golden-eyed boy had joined the little group.

"So who's next?"

The two boys looked at each other. "I was here first," Dragoon said sullenly.

Driger shrugged. "Fine."

:-:-:

Sitting on the bench, Kai was finally able to rest for a few moments. He needed a rest dammit, look at what he had been doing since morning!

"You did good," he heard Daisuke said as he sat down next to him.

Kai opened one eye to glare at him. "Why was I the only one to change them back?"

"I wouldn't have been able to use my Dranzer on them," Daisuke tried to explain. "My Dranzer's powers aren't the same as yours. She's also been touched by the Mary Sues; I wouldn't want that to be carried over to your friend's bitbeasts."

"Fine." Closing his eye, Kai let his mind drift. Until it drifted to a certain thought - he was sitting there with four beyblades and three of them belonged to his teammates. Said teammates were looking for him. Said teammates won't let him run off again for the... fourth time. He would also have to explain why and how he had their beyblades.

Kai looked up to the sky and glared. "You're just doing his because you think it's funny don't you?" Kai continued to glare at the clouds for a moment until he saw them moving. The clouds shifted until they formed one word: "YES."


(snickers) I've been wanting to do that last bit for a few chapters now.

Daisuke and Yoshi were actually the names that I liked. I looked for about half-an-hour online at baby name sites and that was what I came up with. It was lucky I checked or else he would have been called Yukiko - and that's a girl's name as I found out. Plus, I wanted a name that I could type out easily and not have problems spelling.

Hey, can anyone tell me if I got the Iratawih Iak pronunciation right?

Anything that doesn't make sense in this chapter, blame the plot-hole. ;)

Dragoon sounded older (like he did at the end of season one) before but then I realised that I gave him a teenage body and so the older voice didn't fit as well.

A little but rushed but meh.
