Chapter 6: Talk and decision

Wind blew softly the sky was covered with clouds

The championships were tomorrow

Two days had passed since their fight

Two of the longest days max had encountered…the dojo was silent most of the time

Hilary had not appeared after Tyson had been rude to her. She had just gone home with some lame excuse about not being able to show up for the finals

Tyson had become a living replica of kai he had stopped talking like he used to and his diet had also shown some remarkable alteration.

Ray and Kenny had been upgrading trigger

Kai was as usual nowhere to see

Max stood near the beydish his hands holding the launcher steady at some distance Tyson was doing the same

"3-2-1 let it rip"

Dragoon and draciel fell into battle

Max wanted to play his best

He had always been considered the weakest but he was going to show all of them that he could be so much more

As he urged draciel to attack dragoon he noticed that something was wrong. Dragoon was showing weakness. Its attack was amiss of the usual power

"Huh?" thought max "how could that be? Did Tyson abandon his beyblade and run away or sumthin?"

He looked up

Tyson stood there all right

Even though his eyes were hidden by his dark bangs but he could see that Tyson was not focusing: at all

He seemed to be in deep thought

"This is new" max thought sarcastically

"These days have been so weird so far could they get any weirder?" He wondered

"First Tyson is missing then when he is finally found he attacks kai like an animal and he is screaming at everyone in sight then he becomes cold all of a sudden

And now he is losing focus entirely"

Max sighed

"Why did he attack kai like that though?" he thought

Max shifted his focus back to the beybattle

He had to practice the championships were tomorrow after all

"Its time to end this" he thought

"Draciel final attack!" he yelled

His blade gained speed and with one collision Tyson's blade fell out of the dish

Max looked up at Tyson again

He was shocked to see that Tyson had not reacted a bit

"Hope he's not been abducted by aliens" max thought

Max looked around the backyard

Ray stood near the pond frowning

Kenny looked shocked beyond belief "Tyson" he said

Hilary and kai were missing.

His gaze shifted back to Tyson who had now picked his blade and stuffed it in his pocket

"You lost"

"Yeah so what?" Tyson said, "You got a problem with that? Or do u think that i'm too obnoxious to have any girl I want?"

"What?"

'Tyson who said anything about a girl?" Ray questioned

"So now u want a piece of me too?" Tyson yelled

Tyson closed his eyes trying to relax

"I just lost because I-I've got a lot on my mind" he grumbled

He looked at his friends

They stared as if he was mad

Tyson didn't have time for this shit

So he left them to stare at him like stricken goldfishes…

He needed a walk

………………………………………………………………….

Tyson had been pacing the streets for atleast an hour

He had to control himself…

But how?

Tyson had no idea

He sighed

"Tyson"

It was max

"What is it?"

"Are u ok? Uve been acting weird all week….is sumthing the matter"

He asked

Tyson rolled his eyes

"Well duh"

"Want to talk about it?"

Tyson sighed

"Its just…"

Tyson couldn't find words to express himself

How could he tell him that he had seen kai and Hilary hugging?

And because of that he had lost everything

His ability to think…

His focus…

His control…

His beybattle…

And worst of all

He had lost the most precious thing…

Hilary

"I saw them max, I know they love each other"

Tyson found it hard to speak properly

His voice was cracking

"Who?"

Struggling to control himself Tyson replied

"Kai and Hilary"

"Tyson… I'm sorry it has to be this way…things will work out. I know ur strong enough to get through this"

Max was the best

But no amount of reassuring could cure Tyson's heartache.

"Thanks max, but I need to be alone for sometime"

…………………………………………………………………………..

Ray paced around the dojo

A lot had happened in a few days

Tyson had become Mr. cold overnight

Hilary had left the dojo with no reason at all

Max had told him of Tyson and kais fight

A lot needed to be cleared

And it's about time someone did some thing

……………………………………………………………………………

Kai walked over the bridge

Poor Hilary he thought

Why is Tyson so rude to her?

Yes something needs to be done

Kai was well aware of the fact that Tyson's opponent was powerful and bad news because he was a cheater too

A cheater that had some how made his way to the finals

And with Tyson's condition defeat was certain

Kais plan was backfiring

Tyson was weakening

Kai needed a back up plan…

Kai thought for along time his features scrunched up in thought

When it hit him

He knew what to do

…………………………………………………………………………….

Four of the bladebreakers sat in a neat circle that night

Max, kai, ray and Kenny.

Their discussion was long but it was important

Important for their navy haired friend

Important for the championships

Important for certain relationships

As each of the bladebreakers told their story of that night when Tyson had become as heartless as a statue

The last time max had seen him that night was when he had made it clear to him that he was actually in love with Hilary

Kai stared at the wall for the longest time before he explained his part in the story

It didn't take long for them to put the story together

So now what should they do?

Tell Tyson ofcourse…but where is he?

Nobody knew

"Oh he'll be back," said kai "he wont miss the championship finals, I don't think he'll be coming home so soon. But the important part is that he needs to know the truth before its too late"

"And if it unfortunately too late I have a perfect plan" he added silently to himself

"I think we should tell Hilary"

Rays suggestion put everyone in thought before they agreed to it.
