Ok I know the title's kinda lame but that's from the lack of my brain being able to come up with anything better.


15. Black Dranzer

Kai was now ten and the tension rose with the Beyblade tournament only a few weeks away. The team was being worked harder than ever pressured to show their enemies no mercy when the time came for battle. It seemed that Voltaire actually meant business as he had the four beybladers see the doctor for daily checkups and monitored their progress very closely more so than he had ever done before. Also the four were actually allowed to eat real food to keep up their energy greatly shocking the children. Today everyone was given a break from beyblading as the population of the entire abbey were gathered to witness the launching of a new and powerful beyblade said to be a major breakthrough in Beyblading everywhere. It seemed just like any other ordinary blade to Kai at first but he realized he had been wrong as the beyblade got down to business.

It has so much power if only I could getmy hands on it, Kai thought as he watched mesmerized as the black and red object sliced through allthat opposed it.

Seeing his awe his friends' wondered just what exactly it was that Kai was thinking as they too watched the spectacle. Of course to Bree she couldn't really care less about the spinning void of darkness it was just another weapon that Voltaire and Boris planned to unleash upon the unsuspecting world in their conquest for world domination.

Later on after they had been released from the performance Bree found Kayla and letting out her anxiety she said, "What in the world is up with your brother he hasn't even been bothered to look at anybody all day?"

"Don't know could have something to do with that freakish Beyblade," the girl answered.

"Maybe like anyone would care about that stupid thing though."

"Well it looks strong enough maybe Kai wants to test himself with it honestly it beats me I'm supposed to be meeting Ben I'll see ya later," the girl said leaving Bree to wonder by herself.

Training was dull that day Tala and Bryan were informed that they had to go through some beyblade test seeing how they were the oldest on the team neither Kai nor Bree caught the exact wording they were too busy with their thoughts to pay attention. Kai was also held back at the end of training like he had been the day Voltaire told him he was the captain.

"I see you like my little creation," Voltaire grinned once he was alone with his grandson.

"What are you going on about this time?"

"Black Dranzer I saw your lust for it boy so don't deny it. That Beyblade is too powerful and in your current non-emotionless state you are too weak to control it. Black Dranzer is off limits to all Beybladers including you Kai so don't let me catch you near it," the old man ordered.

"Yes grandfather," Kai replied and feeling defeat left from the room.

That night Kai was unable to sleep Voltaire's words ringing through his mind as he tossed and turned in his cell.

I don't care what that bastard says I need to have that Beyblade but how do I get down to it? Maybe one of the guys will help me, yeah tomorrow Black Dranzer will be mine, Kai thought as he lay awake unable to shake Black Dranzer from his mind.


On the other side of the abbey Bree was unable to sleep as well as she worried about Kai.

What did that damn blade do to him? All of yesterday his eyes were filled with this weird hunger it's beginning to freak me out. That thing will bring nothing but trouble I have to keep Kai away from it, Bree thought in vain rolling around her bed attempting to get some sleep.

When morning came the girl pulled herself out of bed and went to wake up her older brother.

"Bryan, get up or you'll be late," she prodded pulling away his covers.

"Yeah, yeah I'm awake had a rough time sleeping last night."

"Doesn't anybody go to sleep around here?"

"Well I've been worrying over this test thingamajig Tala and I get to take and to answer your question why don't you talk to Mr. Loudmouth snorer over there," Bryan replied yanking himself out from the bed.

"Good point, well have fun with your test."

"Oh yeah just loads have fun waking up the sleepy head."

"Sure, I always have to get the hard jobs," the girl complained watching her brother leave.

An hour later she had finally managed to get Ben up and the two begrudgingly went for their daily exercises.

Seeing Kai the girl called, "Hey what's up?"

"Oh hi Bree just thinking," he answered startled from his thoughts on how to get Black Dranzer.

"Is something troubling you?" She asked laying a hand on the boy's shoulder.

"I don't know what's wrong with me something inside keeps telling me to go ahead and go after that stupid beyblade but I don't want the trouble something like that will bring," he confessed not knowing what to do.

"If you want my opinion I say you should stay away from it there's something not right about that blade something dark and sinister."

"I know but still," he replied that look of hunger returning to his gaze.

Bree wasn't sure how to help him it hurt her seeing Kai so torn up inside.

She gave him a hug and said, "Whatever happens Kai I know that you'll make the right choice and do the right thing."

The girl left but Kai and Ben followed after in the direction Bree was going. Tears were threatening to spill from her eyes though she didn't know why. The only thing Bree knew was that something bad was going to happen that day she could feel it.


The day progressed and Ben was immersed in a conversation with Kayla. They were having a fun time together and the girl laughed as her companion cracked jokes about Boris and other things that were on the group's enemy list. Bryan and Tala hadn't taken much time with their test in fact they had done poorly and the two boys had rejoined the group by the mid day break. Now the boys were stretched out against a wall peacefully sleeping being worn out from the feat they had been battling against. Ben didn't really care much though with his brother sleeping he had Kayla all to himself but his fun soon died away as it seemed both girls of the group were very worried about Kai. His jokes became very annoying very fast and he too feeling for his friend took a look across the room at the solitary boy. He seemed to look different somehow though Ben couldn't quite put his finger on it the other boy just stared off into space with a look of pure longing.

With a shake of his head Kai growled to himself, "Err why is it that I can't get that damn beyblade out of my head?"

He seemed to have lost all awareness for his friends around him as the boy tried to deal with the eternal pain he was suffering through.

"Kai," Ben voiced gaining a questioning glance from the other boy. "Dude you don't look so good maybe you should join the guys and take a nap."

"It's not that, I don't know you probably wouldn't understand."

"Oh come on try me we're buddies right?"

"I guess, finecome on then," the blue haired boy replied getting up from where he sat.

"You're leaving me Ben," Kayla questioned with a bit of a pout.

"It's high time I think your brother and me have a nice little chat, don't worry I'll be right back," Ben reassured and following Kai the boy was led out of the room.

"Don't want the girl's to know what's troubling you?"

"Well Kayla either knows or guesses she is my sister after all and I don't think Bree really approves of what I'm about to do," Kai answered and with a sigh began his explanation hoping that his friend would help him. "Ever since I was old enough to use my Dad's old Beyblade he never believed that I'd have the strength to master it. Determined to prove him wrong I strived for perfection and practiced whenever I could to show my Father that I was just as strong a blader as he had been. No matter what I did it was never good enough but there's something different about this beyblade with it I would have the power to gain my Dad's approval and wherever he is make him proud. I don't know what's coming over me but I feel compelled to go to it it's almost as if Black Dranzer is calling me to it. Will you help me achieve my desires that torture me so?"

"You're asking me for help?"

"Yes you seem to be the only one available at the moment I'd ask Tala or Bryan but as we both know they're conked out right now," Kai replied.

"Alright I'll come with you but it better not be something that I'll regret later," Ben replied after a lot of thought.

Deep into the depths of the abbey the two boys went in search of the Beyblade that Kai just had to possess. The tunnels seemed endless and it appeared to Ben that Boris and his men did not want the children coming across the bottomless abyss as the boys worked together to dodge and evade deadly traps. Deciding early on that they did not want to be found out Ben had stopped Kai on their way into this secluded restricted part of the abbey as he noticed a camera and knocked it out with his beyblade. Down the never ending tunnels they spotted more of the cameras and took their time to disable the eyes of the abbey. Without the help of each other and their loyal bit-beasts the two companions would have been goners as together they took out all the obstacles and the arsenal of powerful beyblades that would occasionally shoot out at them. Making their way to a corridor that was oblivious to all light and whatever awaited them in the darkness seemed to lure the blue haired boy.

I wonder if this place has anything to do with that test Bry and Tala had to do if it does it seems nearly impossible to make it through here alone, Ben thought as he and Kai felt their way down the ominous corridor.

As they entered a single door at the end of the darkness Kai's eyes lit up as they fell upon the thing that had so ensnared him.

Leaning against the wall wanting for Kai to hurry up so they could get out of this spooky place Ben thought, It was surprising that Kayla actually didn't want me to go, I wonder if all my hard work is finally starting to pay off. I love her and I hope with all my heart that Kayla feels the same way maybe when we get out of this damn place I'll be able to get up the courage to express my feelings for her, like that'll ever happen though.

"Finally it's all mine," Ben heard his friend say with a bit of a laugh eerily sounding like Boris as the boy placed the blade into his launcher giving Ben a very bad vibe.

It was set lose sending shivers down Ben's spine as well as wreaking havoc on the crumbling room around them. Kai's frightened face from what he had done was the last thing Ben saw as the boy fell into darkness his world going black.


I know it's a cliffie and a very very bad spot to leave but I'm working on the next chapter and I'll put it up as soon as it's done. I'll try not to leave you guys hanging for too long but until I finish the chapter you guys can review.
