Chapter 6: Zorion

Darkness…the feeling of darkness, what am I feeling? Where am I? Wait…am I moving?

"She's not in good condition…" I could hear my rescuers saying faintly. Are they talking about me?

Oh….my head hurts so much, I can't even think properly. What happened to me? Where am I?

"She has the blade with her…"

The Blade…

Ben…

Tyson…

What?

Oh, wait. Ben, he did this to me! Everything…its all flooding back …He said something about the Blade. Does that mean my beyblade?

Tyson… how are you? I hope you're doing ok. Are you worried for me?

I wonder where he is? I saw him before I fell in too deep…did he come in after me?

Ha, knowing Tyson, he tried, but got stopped by Kai or something.

"Ohhhh…" I groaned, trying my best to speak. I could feel soft fur under me, against my skin through my torn clothes.

"Miss, are you okay?" asked a boy, who looked my age. I squinted to see his features. He had dusty brown hair, light silver eyes, and a peachy face. He's actually pretty cute.

"Yeah…where am I?" I asked weakly, trying to look around, but the whole place was so dark, with a lamp to light the people's way.

"All your questions will be answered shortly. Now sleep." A gruff old man said firmly. Ha! I don't listen to anybody… Yawn…nobody at all…

And all went black.

"Mr. Dickenson!" I screamed, racing down the building Mr. Dickenson worked in. I heard the others running behind me, but I ran faster. I had to save her, no matter what. I know Hilary isn't dead, I can still feel her. Don't ask me –Kenny says that it's "highly unlikely for me to feel Hilary's life force at all, unless we were attached in some way", -how, but I know she couldn't be dead. Besides, she's too feisty to let anyone touch her, let alone kill her.

"MR. DICKENSON!" I yelled, opening his door, revealing him signing papers with some man in his office.

"Why, Tyson my boy! What's the matter?" he asked me, smiling his friendly smile. Doesn't he know that THIS IS NO TIME TO BE SMILING! Doesn't he know that?

Actually, that's why I'm here.

"Mr. D…Hilary…Ben…hole…Desapareça…" I said, gasping between each word. My heart is pounding so much. Aw man I shouldn't have had that burger before I ran downtown Japan.

The others ran in after me. "Tyson, are you ok?" asked Max, putting a hand on my shoulder. I winced. I feel like such an invalid. Worrying about Hilary isn't a sickness. Maybe a sickness of the heart, but whatever.

"Yeah, fine Max." I replied, shaking out of his grasp.

"Now, what about Hilary? Where is she?" he asked us, especially looking at me.

And we told him. I told him about Ben-I said that he's a ruthless, evil, magic-wielding freak, but Kenny corrected me-, about Hilary falling down that hole.

Kenny told him about the new info we found. Desapareça means to disappear in Portuguese, and we connected that and Hilary's blade's history to find out how we can locate her. Turns out, Hilary's blade is from an ancient civilization in Portugal. Kenny put two and two together, and explained that all we have to do is find the shrine where Hilary's blade was kept, and start from there.

"So, you boys need to go to Portugal, right? With my jet?" asked Mr. Dickenson, after we had explained everything to him. We know Mr. D, and he's very fond of Hil. He can't refuse.

"That's right." Replied Ray. We all watched Mr. Dickenson with anxiety, watching him stroke his hair, and blink his eyes. My leg started twitching, and a vein popped on my head. Kai looked at me, and he rolled his eyes.

"So, what's your answer, Mr. D?" I asked, impatiently. The others all shot looks at me, but I ignored it. All my attention was on Mr. D., waiting for his answer.

"Well, it is for tournaments only…' he started. My heart started to droop. He cant say no, can he? Hilary's life is at stake!

"But…seeing as its for Hilary, then…it's okay." He finished.

"Really? Thanks a lot, Mr. D!" I exclaimed happily, shaking his hand powerfully. "Well, um, good luck then. Now if you'd excuse me, I have a lot of work to do to get that jet." He said tiredly, picking up new papers from his desk. Groan. It would suck to have this job.

But, yes! Hilary, you better be safe. Cause I'm coming for you.

Hilary's eyes met bright lights when she first awakened. Her first thought was that she died, going to heaven with glorious amounts of light and happiness surrounding her.

But then, when she realized what had happened, she thought that she ended up in the other place.

But, the upside was that she had her strength back. She didn't feel weak, or anything. In fact, her body felt pretty good, actually!

She got up, wincing as her leg moved a little. It was covered in a bandage, and she can see the blood bleeding through the bandage. I guess I injured my leg in the fall, she told herself, taking in the scenery of the room.

It had light peach walls, and she was lying on a fur bed. There were wooded cupboards beside her, with her ripped clothing on it!

Wait…what? She panicked, looking down at what she was wearing. She had a beaded shirt on, and a peachy beige coloured skirt. Who the hell changed me!

"Hello? Anybody here?" she called, wondering where her saviours where. After all, she did have to thank him/her. Was she all alone here?

Hilary couldn't take it anymore; her anxiety taking over her. She got off of the bed, and walked toward the door. She slowly opened the door, careful not to make any noise, because she wanted to look around on her own. After all, she didn't know whether she was with friend or foe. She didn't even know who the foe was!

Oh, wait! I do know who my foe is! She reminded herself. Ben was the one who did this to her. The one who made her life semi-perfect, until he made it all come crashing down.

Where the heck did he send me anyways? She asked herself, walking down a small hallway. There were no stairs, just one floor, the walls decorated with fur.

"Hello? Is someone in here?" asked a male voice from one of the rooms on the left. Hilary gulped slightly, afraid of who might be inside.

She swallowed her fear, and knocked on the door. She casually opened the door, and looked down. "Um…hi." She said, blushing and looking at the fur rug at her feet.

"Hello." Replied the male cheerfully, getting up from his seat, and coming over to her. Wait…this voice…the male from before!

She looked up, and her eyes met with the silver eyes of the boy she met before. He was smiling happily, but she didn't buy it. That's exactly how Ben smiled at me before, and now look what happened!

"Can you tell me where I am?" she asked, stepping back a bit. She didn't feel comfortable standing near someone she didn't even know yet. He smiled lightly at her behaviour, before saying "Why, you're in the Land of the Beasts! Where else?" he asked, getting a bit confused.

"Where else? Maybe Japan?" she said, staring at him a bit. "Japan? No, no! This is Portuguesa." The boy replied. Hilary started to get impatient. Portuguesa? She was in Portugal? She was in The Land of the Beasts, specifically. She remembered reading about a legend of a land where mythical beats and humans live in harmony, without wars or battles. She had asked Kenny to research it for her, and he said that that's where bit beasts supposedly originate from.

"What is your name, miss?" asked the boy, changing the subject quickly. Hmmmm… Hilary hit a nerve, and she knew it. She would let it go right now, but soon, she'll ask again.

"My name is Hilary." She replied, smiling. The boy was taller and looked older than her, but his smiling, cheerful face made him look so much younger. Like a child in an older child's body.

"Hilary, that is beautiful. My name is Zorion." He said, and she smiled. He is so cute! She thought happily. But, for some reason, I cant see myself for falling for him. Wonder why?

Meanwhile, Tyson was at the dojo, backing his things for the trip to Portugal. He sighed, and shoved the last of his beyblade equipment in his suitcase.

Hilary would tell me that I don't have enough clothes, and to forget about the extra beyblade equipment. Tyson thought dreamily, falling on his back onto the dojo floor.

I wonder what you're doing now, Hil. I really hope you're okay, and obviously you cant hear me, but if you can hear me, just know that I'm coming for you. Tyson held onto Dragoon in his pocket, and closed his eyes, imagining Hilary's features.

Well, that's it for this chapter! I wanted to lighten the mood, since last chapter was so dramatic. In fact, I was listening to Paris Hilton's new song, Stars are Blind. I'm not really a huge fan of Paris, but I love that song! It's so kawaii! Lalala, Baby I'm perfect for you…… singing! I love that!

Kendo Baby

PS: I hope my singing didn't affect the chapter! Review Please!
