Chapter 13
She looked up to find the 16 year old guy that whipped her at the circus. He had brown hair that came out in spikes under his ears and he had dark green eyes, which almost looked black.
"Monty De-Reviara, what the hell are you doing here?" growled Crystal.
"I've come to take you back to the circus, gorgeous," he replied. Monty advanced on Crystal, tied her up and took off with her. Crystal kicked off her high heel shoes in hopes that someone would help her. But she knew that there was going to be not much help from anyone.
"I hope your lion friends don't eat you. They haven't been fed yet," said Monty as he threw Crystal in the lion cage once Monty reached the circus.
"We don't eat our own kind," yelled Crystal. She turned to the 4 lions that were in the cage with her. She hugged each and every one of the 4 lions.
"I missed you guys. I promise that we will escape," said Crystal. The lions purred.
"Its time for your punishment, Crystal," said Monty came back an hour later with a whip. He dragged Crystal by the hair. The lions roared and advanced on him, but Crystal stopped them. She didn't want them to get hurt because of her.
Monty forcefully kissed her on the lips before whipping her on her back, once they were out of the lion's cage.
"Scream, god dammit," growled Monty.
"I will not give you that pleasure," snapped Crystal as she bit back the screams that threatened to escape. Monty whipped her until she faked unconsciousness. He threw her back into the cage. Her back hit the floor hard when she landed. Once Monty had gone, she opened her eyes, got up and cried. The lions, seeing their mistress in pain, went over to comfort her. Leo, the second oldest lion, and Kenya, the second youngest lions, cleaned the whip wounds by licking it but she had nothing to stop the blood flowing. She leaned back on the youngest lion, Rahja, and fell asleep. Sultan, the oldest lion kept guard all night.
"Come on we're leaving," said Kai to a kissing Hilary and Tyson. Kai left and went to find the other 2.
"We're going," said Kai as he found Ray.
"Ok," replied Ray as he got up and followed Kai after saying bye to his old team. Max was already standing at the door waiting with Hilary and Tyson, who were still kissing. Kai grabbed the back of Tyson's collar while Ray grabbed Hilary's arms and the 2 dragged Hilary and Tyson away from each other.
"Hey," said a surprised Hilary. Kai glared at her making her shut up. They walked outside to find Crystal's shoes. Hilary picked them up.
"She must have run away," said Hilary.
"When she's ready she'll return," replied Kai, getting into the limo. The rest of the group followed him into the limo.
Hilary and Kenny stayed at Tyson's place the night. Hilary fell asleep in Tyson's arms on the couch. The others went to their rooms, while Kenny slept in Tyson's room. Kai couldn't sleep. He kept thinking of what happened earlier between him and Crystal.
Chapter 14
The sun had come up the next morning and Crystal transformed into the lioness. She was still weak from the torture last night.
"I see you're up, my dear Krystal," came Monty's voice. Krystal growled and beared her teeth.
"You're going to preform tonight, or at least your human self is," said Monty. He left only to return half an hour later with an unconscious redhead.
"Do what you like with him," laughed Monty as he threw Tala into the lion's cage. Monty disappeared. Krystal walked up to Tala as he was regaining consciousness
"Stay away," Tala said as he backed up against the bars of the cage. Krystal continued to walk up to him. She licked his face where a cut was. She then moved to licking his cuts on his arms. The other 4 lions advanced on Tala hungrily. Krystal faced them and growled. They stopped and went back to lying around. Krystal curled up next to Tala and they both went to sleep.
Monty came and got the 5 animals, leaving Tala in the cage.
"Go ahead. Transform it your human form," said Monty as they approached the circus tent. Krystal looked at the last of the sun that was gone down. She transformed back into her human self.
"Put this on," said Monty as he handed Crystal her costume for the show. Her act was one of the last ones. She sat down after she put the costume on because she felt dizzy.
"You're on," said Monty an hour later.
"Presenting the one and only female lion tamer, who doesn't use the whip," the ringmaster announced, "Crystal." Crystal walked out to face the crowd. Sultan, Leo, Kenya and Rahja following her. She scanned the crowd and found the Bladebreakers sitting there watching the show. Every one of the Bladebreakers except Kai's jaws dropped. She gave her head a quick shake before setting up a jump for 2 lions to preform. All 4 lions were sitting, watching her as she prepared the jump.
"Leo, up," she said pointing to the left stand. Leo jumped up to the stand.
"Jump," ordered Crystal. Leo obeyed and jumped over the gap to the right stand.
"Kenya, up," she said pointing to the now empty stand. Kenya jumped up and faced Leo, "Jump." Both lions jumped, landing on the opposite side of what they were on before. The audience burst into applause.
"Change over," she commanded. Leo was replaced with Rahja and Kenya was replaced with Sultan. Crystal climbed a rope that was in-between the 2 stands. She would fall onto one of the lion's back, standing up, (AN: I kinda got bored so I just made this stunt up) but that never happened. Crystal blacked out and fell. Sultan and Rahja jumped catching her limp body in mid-air and landing in-between the 2 stands. They gently place her on the ground, surrounded her and growled at anyone who tried to get near Crystal. She could hear the Bladebreakers yelling her name. She opened her eyes to find the Bladebreakers trying to get past the lions.
"Let them through," she weakly said to the lions, "Rahja, show them where Tala is." Rahja, Tyson and Max went to find Tala. Kai picked Crystal up, bridal style, and nearly dropped her as he felt her back wet. Mr Dickenson arrived not long after thanks to Hilary and her mobile phone. Kai had taken Crystal outside and propped her up into a sitting position, on the ground, to find the back of her circus costume stained red with her blood.
"Take me to the dojo," said Crystal, as she slowly started regaining a bit of strength. She staggered over to Sultan and sat on his back. Tyson, Max and Rahja came back with Tala.
"They deserve to know, Crystal. You can't keep it from them any longer," pleaded Ray.
"Ok. Lets get back to Tyson's, get me treated and then I'll tell. You can come too Tala," said Crystal, "someone will have to ride with me. Just in case I black out again." Everyone looked at Kai.
"Fine, I'll go," he sighed in defeat. He at behind Crystal and they took off. Leo, Kenya and Rahja following them. Kai wrapped his arms around Crystal making her lean back against him. He didn't care if his clothes got stained with blood, he was just happy that Crystal was now safe. They reached the dojo with Tyson and the others not far behind them.
Chapter 15
She peeled the costume off, wincing at the pain it was creating and stepped into the shower to wash the dry blood and dirt off. She stepped out of the shower after 10 minutes and put the top half of a bikini on, so that it would easier for someone to apply healing cream, and she put a pair of shorts on. She tied her silver hair, which reached her lower back, up into a bun so it wouldn't aggravate the wounds. She walked out into the lounge room where Hilary had the cream for her wounds. She sat down on the floor.
"I'm sorry, I can't do it," said Hilary as she took one look at the wounds before pushing the tube of cream into someone else's hands. That someone was Kai. He sat down behind Crystal and began applying the cream. Once he finished, she got up, took the tube of cream off him and put it in the bathroom.
"Ok, now talk," demanded Kai, once she was sitting back on the floor in the lounge room. She took a deep breath and told them that she was a Russian Princess; that she turns into a lioness during the day and about the circus. Everyone stayed silent as she told them. No one said anything after she finished talking. She got up and walked to her bedroom. Everyone else went to bed after that. Tala and Kenny were in the lounge room while Hilary got a room to herself. Crystal silently crept to Kai's room. Kai was awake, looking up at the ceiling when he felt a presence at his doorway. Crystal walked in and sat on the bed.
"Thankyou," smiled Crystal.
"You're welcome," said Kai as he sat up," how's your back?"
"Stinging," she replied.
"Ok you're going to listen and you're to listen good. I don't care that you're a lioness during the day, we'll get through it, and we'll find a way to reverse the curse. The main thing is that I love you," said Kai.
"You shouldn't have said that," said Crystal, shocked.
"Why?" asked Kai grabbing Crystal's arms, gently.
"A new part of the legend has just been unfolded. Tomorrow night you will not be human. You have become the Master of the Day. We will never be able to each other in human form again, unless an eclipse happens," replied Crystal.
"I don't care, as long as I'm with you, we'll find a way," said Kai before kissing Crystal passionately. They broke apart and laid down, Crystal on her side so that it would hurt her back.
"Do you remember me from the past?" Crystal asked, curiously.
"Yes, I remember, when we were younger, I'd always go over to the palace on the weekends to play with you," replied Kai, "and you would sometimes come to the Abbey to see me and Tala."
"Yes, but after the incident with Black Dranzer, you disappeared. My father said that he killed you. I had never cried as hard as I did that night. That was the same night he placed the curse upon me. He knew that you weren't dead; Voltaire wouldn't allow my father to kill you. Because you're my one true love, my father made sure that the curse would curse you as well once you said the 3 words: I love you," said Crystal," I do love you. I knew you were the one when I spied on you that night you walked down the alleyway."
"I love you too," replied Kai as he pulled Crystal into another passionate kiss.
"I'm battling in the tournament if the request has been approved," said Crystal as they parted for air.
"Not in your condition, you're not," replied Kai.
"Yes I am; and there is nothing you can do about it," said Crystal
"You were always too stubborn. Just don't strain your back," Kai sighed in defeat, "Good night Crystal."
"Good Night Kai," replied Crystal. They fell asleep next to each other.
Chapter 16
Kai woke up early the next morning. He watched his lioness as she slept peacefully, next to him. The clock on the bedside table read 6:53am. He laid in bed just watching Krystal. She stirred and awoke with a yawn. Krystal licked his face before going and waking the others. They all had to pack as they were leaving that night for the tournament. Crystal had packed last night and her bags were at the door. Instead of roaring, like before to wake everyone up, she licked their cheeks, and had to playfully bite Tyson's cheek as he wouldn't get up. She left Tala until last. He was sprawled all over the floor on his back. She laid down on his stomach, with sly eyes. She lowered her head to lick Tala's cheek, but at the last moment she roared. Tala's piercing blue eyes shot open and if he could he would have bolted up into a sitting position. Sultan, Leo, Kenya and Rahja all came in from keeping watch last night. They curled up in a corner of the lounge room and went to sleep. Tala tried to push Krystal off him. She licked his cheek just as the Bladebreakers came into the room. They all laughed, except Kai, who gave his usual smirk, at the site of Tala.
"Get off me Krystal," said Tala, still trying to push Krystal off. She roared, again, loudly in Tala's ear before getting of him. Tala had to leave, as he too had to pack for the tournament. Hilary and Kenny left as well.
Nothing much happened after that, just everyone running around getting their stuff ready for the tournament. Mr Dickenson hadn't told them where the tournament was going to be held but Krystal had a bad feeling about it.
Hilary and Kenny returned later that afternoon and placed their luggage next to Krystal's. Kai was the first one finishing packing, so he sat down on the couch and waited. Krystal laid down next to him and fell asleep. Just as the sun was setting, Krystal dragged Kai into his room and managed to close the door. She disappeared from sight and transformed back into her human self just as the last of the sun disappeared. She walked back to Kai's room and prepared herself as she turned the handle on the door and pushed it open. There, on Kai's bed was…
Chapter 17
a blue phoenix which had crimson eyes. (AN: lmao. Bet ya didn't see that coming.)
"Kai?" Crystal asked, cautiously. The phoenix screeched as if to say yes. He spread his wings and flew over to Crystal and landed on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry. This is all my fault," she said to the bird, "I love you, Phoenix." The phoenix looked at Crystal at the mention of his old nickname.
Crystal walked out to the lounge room with Kai on her shoulder.
"Where's Kai, we're suppose to leave in 5 minutes?" asked Hilary.
"He's right here," Crystal replied.
"Where, I don't see him," said Tyson turning around on the spot looking around the room.
"He's on my shoulder," Crystal said with a bit of humour in her voice.
"You mean to say that bird's Kai?" asked Tyson.
"Yes it is Kai and he's a phoenix not just any old bird," crystal replied, getting a bit annoyed with Tyson.
"But how'd he get like that?" asked Ray.
"Well to make a long story short, he said something to me that I forbid him to say, thus cursing him as well, making another part of my legend unfold. I'm Lady of the Night and he's Master of the Day," Crystal replied. Mr Dickenson walked in the front door at that moment.
"Are you all ready for the tournament?" he asked.
"Yep," everyone replied except Kai who kept silent.
"Um…where's Kai?" Mr Dickenson asked.
"On my shoulder," sighed Crystal, "I'll explain later. So where is the tournament being held?"
"Russia," was Mr Dickenson's short answer.
"What?" Crystal screamed making Kai take to flight.
"You heard me, now let's get going," said Mr Dickenson.
"Sultan, Leo, Kenya, Rahja, come," said Crystal to the 4 lions. Everyone except Kai loaded the luggage into the limo. Crystal sat on Sultan.
"Are we allowed to battle at night?" Ray asked Mr Dickenson.
"I'm sorry it isn't allowed," said Mr Dickenson sadly. Crystal quickly changed the subject.
"Anyone else wanna ride a lion?" Crystal asked.
"Yeah ok, I'll try," said Ray, "So which one do I get?"
"Leo, go to Ray," Crystal ordered the second oldest lion, "Anyone else?"
"Yeah," came Max and Tyson's replies.
"Max you can ride Rahja, who's over there," said Crystal pointing to the youngest lion, "And Tyson, I'm sure Kenya can take you weight, if not I'll allow him to throw you off and run off without you."
"Hey, why is everyone picking on me?" complained Tyson.
"Because we can," Hilary replied, laughing, "Me and Kenny will ride in the limo."
Crystal nodded, "We'll meet you at the airport. Let's go." She urged Sultan into a run with the others following. Rya and Max were doing well staying sat on their chosen lion and Crystal was surprised that Tyson was too. Kai never moved whilst on Crystal's shoulder.
'Why the hell does the tournament have to be in Russia? I'm not ready to face my past and future yet, why?' Crystal's mind screamed.
Chapter 18
They reached the airport in silence. They unloaded the limo and went to check in.
"I'm sorry but we've overbooked," said the woman at the counter.
"Well, we expect a full refund," snapped Crystal.
"I'm sorry. We don't give refunds. We have enough seats on tomorrow's flight though," said the woman professionally.
"Looks like you don't know who I am," said Crystal as Sultan, who was standing next to Crystal, beared his teeth, "I'm the princess of Russia."
"Just a second and I'll get you your refund," said the woman nervously as she gathered the refund money and handed it to Crystal, who handed it to Mr Dickenson.
"Now what?" asked Tyson.
"You got a mobile phone?" asked Crystal. Hilary pulled her mobile out and handed it to Crystal. Crystal dialled a number and waited.
"Hello, Korsetova castle, how…," came a maids voice before Crystal cut her off.
"Get me Pyrocha.(AN: Pronounced pie-row-kuh) "
"Princess Crystal Korsetova, is that you?" asked the maid.
"Yes, now get me Pyrocha," snapped Crystal. The line went quiet for a few minutes.
"Hello, Pyrocha speaking," came a male's voice.
"Hey Pyrocha. It's me Crystal. Look could you send a private plane to Tokyo airport. Can you make sure it fits 7 people, 1 phoenix and 4 lions?" asked Crystal.
"Sure Princess," said Pyrocha.
"Thanks, see-ya soon," said Crystal as she hung up and handed the mobile phone back to Hilary. They waited for 3 hours before the private plane landed. (AN: I don't know how long it takes to get from Russia to Japan) Crystal looked up, from the seat she was waiting in, to find a 17 year old guy with black hair which had blue streaks and black eyes with red flecks, walk towards them. Crystal's eyes lit up.
"Pyrocha," she said as she hugged him. She released Pyrocha from the hug, introduced him to everyone and boarded the private plane. It was nearly sunrise when they landed.
"I'll be back," said Crystal as she hid from sight, with Kai on her shoulder and they both transformed, Crystal into her lioness form and Kai back into his human self. Krystal let Kai sit on her back and they went to find the others.
"Kai you're back," said Ray as they found the group.
"Hn," was all Kai said.
"I see Krystal still has the curse," said Pyrocha, as he patted Krystal on the head.
"Who are you?" Kai asked coldly.
"I'm Pyrocha, servant of the Korsetova castle and Krystal's friend," said Pyrocha, proudly.
"Hn," replied Kai. With that everyone went to the hotel. Pyrocha went back to the castle.
Krystal went for a walk to see how much Russia had changed, after she went to the hotel and got her room which she had a choice to be with Hilary or Kai. Since no-one could understand her roar, she walked over to Kai.
It was starting to snow as she walked. She observed everything. The 1 thing she was curious about was the fact that no-one was out in the streets. It was like a ghost town except she could see shadows of people when she looked into the windows of houses. She walked back to the hotel, headed to her room and transformed as the sun disappeared over the horizon. Kai transformed into the blue phoenix and flew around the room in a pissed off way. Crystal grabbed a long coat, which reached her knees that had a hood. She put it on, concealing her identity. She headed towards her father's castle but veered off a bit and headed towards a mansion that was located close to the castle.
Chapter 19
Crystal rang the doorbell. The mansion's front door opened and she was greeted by a maid.
"Is Lavarsha Lee Keegan here?" Crystal asked.
"And may I ask who wants to know?" asked the maid. Crystal pulled the hood of the coat off.
"Princess Crystal. I'm sorry I didn't recognise you," said the maid allowing Crystal to enter, "I'll go tell her you're here. Please wait in the lounge room." Crystal sat down on the lounge and waited.
"Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in," came a voice from the doorway behind Crystal. Crystal turned around to find a 17 year old girl who had brown hair with dark red highlights and brown eyes with amber in them standing there.
"You haven't changed one bit, Varsha," replied Crystal as she stood up. Lavarsha smirked. She went up to Crystal and hugged her. Crystal winced from her wounds on her back.
"What's the matter?" asked Varsha.
"Nothing," Crystal quickly replied.
"Don't give me that shit, I know when my best friend is lying to me," said Varsha.
"My back hurts, that's all," sighed Crystal.
"Alright, I'm going to beat that non-Russia guy, who done this to you, into a bloody pulp, where is he?" bellowed Varsha.
"How'd you know it was a guy and how you know if his is non-Russia?" asked Crystal, curiously.
Varsha glared at Crystal and said, "No woman would be able to hurt you because you're feisty, strong oh and you're a princess; and no Russian person would do such a thing to their future Queen."
"Just forget about it and besides I don't know where he is," said Crystal, shaking her head.
"That fucking mongrel will pay for what he's done," roared Varsha as she clenched her hand into a fist.
"Anyways, why is everyone afraid. It's like they are living in fear?" asked Crystal as she sat back down. Varsha sat down next to her.
"We ARE living in fear. You're father has made this a terrifying country to live in. you have to do something, we don't want to be a corrupted country anymore," said Varsha in a serious tone.
"I understand," said Crystal, quietly
"I'll help you overthrow him. Just save me a bit of the action," smirked Varsha. Crystal smiled, "I need a favour."
"Go on," encouraged Varsha.
"First of all how's your bitbeast Ambika?" asked Crystal.
"Fine," replied Varsha.
"Do you still beyblade?" Crystal asked.
"Yeah, why?" asked Varsha.
"I need you to take my position on the Bladebreakers," replied Crystal.
"Ok," said Varsha as she understood why.
"What time is it?" Crystal asked.
"About 5.30am," replied Varsha.
"Shit, I'm not going to make it back to the hotel without transforming," said Crystal.
"Stay here today. No one would be able to hurt you here," replied Varsha.
"Thanks," said Crystal as she went to a window and looked out. The sun was rising and as soon as the light touched her she transformed into the lioness.
She stayed at Lavarsha's mansion the whole day. As soon as the sun went down, she transformed back.
"Thanks for letting me stay here," aid Crystal, sincerely. Varsha handed Crystal her coat. Crystal hugged Varsha briefly before walking out.
Chapter 20
Crystal was walking towards the hotel when a silver beyblade with a white attack ring appeared. A shadowy figure appeared ahead of Crystal.
"Who are you?" Crystal asked. The shadowy figure laughed.
"I demand to know who you are?" growled Crystal.
"Very well, princess. I'm Alex," came the feminine voice of the shadowy figure, "Get you beyblade out and battle me." Crystal attached her midnight black beyblade which had a silver defence ring to her launcher and launched it.
"Falborg Nexus, Black rose," yelled Alex.
"Luna, Dark Fire," Crystal yelled as she pulled the hood of her coat off. Black rose petals fell from the sky, thanks to Falborg Nexus, Alex's bitbeast, while Luna countered it with black/blood red flames. One of the rose petals fell onto Crystal and cut her cheek due to the sharpness of it. She held a hand to her cheek. She concentrated on the battle trying to find a weakness in Alex's blade.
"Wait for it, wait for it," she said quietly to herself as she watched Falborg Nexus finish its attack.
"Now. Luna, Dark Blitz," yelled Crystal as she spotted her opponent's weakness. Falborg was sent at a high speed towards Alex, due to a dark energy beam thanks to Luna. Alex was knocked to the ground, winded. Falborg Nexus was still spinning.
"Falborg Nexus, Abyss," said Alex as she gasped for air. Her blade created a dark cloud that covered the battlefield. Crystal was immune to the cloud, which was supposed to make her not able to see the battle, thanks to her own bitbeast's element.
"Luna, send the other beyblade flying into my hand," Crystal ordered. Luna obeyed. Falborg Nexus was caught by Crystal; however it created a wound on Crystal's palm from where it kept spinning. She looked down at it and took the bitbeast out of the blade.
"Biovolt's bitbeast," huffed Crystal, "You won't be needing it anymore." She snapped the bit chip in half. Alex, who was still on the ground, blinked and looked confused like she had just come out of a trance.
"Are you alright?" Crystal asked as she helped Alex up.
"Yes. I'm Alexandra Marie Kisenov," said Alex.
"Come on, I'll take you to the hotel. You have a few cuts from the battle," said Crystal as she handed Alex her beyblade back, "I'm sorry, I snapped your bitbeast in half."
"Thankyou, princess," said Alex as they walked.
"Why are you thanking me?" Crystal asked.
"It had me under a spell. Now I can use my old bitbeast, Mirador again, for the tournament," replied Alex.
"What team are you in?" Crystal asked.
"Blitzkrieg Boys," answered Alex as they entered the foyer of the hotel. Crystal turned to see what Alex looked like. Alex had long raven hair that went down to her mid-back which was tied up into a high ponytail with a silver ribbon; she had grey eyes and looked to be 16. She also had cuts due to their intense battle.
They walked up to Crystal and Kai's room and treated the cuts they sustained. Kai, the phoenix, watched with curiosity, he however remained in the shadows. Once Crystal and Alex finished cleaning their wounds, Alex left.
Tomorrow would be the first day of the tournament. Crystal turned off the light, crawled into bed and fell asleep. Kai flew over to her and fell asleep next to her.
Chapter 21
The next morning, everyone was up and ready for the tournament, yep including Tyson. Sultan, Leo, Kenya and Rahja all walked into the foyer. They had finished their nightly guarding of the hotel and their mistress.
Krystal made Kai sit on her back. Max, Tyson and Ray had the lions that they had before and Hillary and Kenny were on Sultan.
Krystal ran to Lavarsha's mansion. Varsha was just leaving for the tournament when Krystal and the others arrived.
"Well if it isn't the famous Bladebreakers," Varsha sneered. Kai gave her a death glare which didn't affect her at all. Krystal walked up to Varsha, with Kai still on her back, and licked Varsha's hand.
"Hey Krystal," she said ignoring the Bladebreakers and patting Krystal on the head. Kai let a barely audible growl out.
"If I didn't know better I'd say you're in love with Krystal," Varsha whispered. Kai narrowed his eyes.
"Just who the fuck are you?" he asked.
"I'm Lavarsha. I'm the second wealthiest aristocrat in Russia. Krystal is the first. She asked me to take her place in the team," she replied. Varsha leaned forwards and whispered in Kai's ear, "If you fucking hurt Krystal, then I will personally come after you and fucking hurt you, got it."
"Whatever," he said. Varsha pushed Kai back so that she could sit in front of him. Krystal turned around and ran off in the direction of the tournament.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to this year's tournament," said Brad Best, "the teams in this years tournament are the Bladebreakers, the PPB All Starz, The Justice 5, the White Tiger X, Blitzkrieg Boys and the Majestics. Yes this tournament is not a very big tournament compared to last year's. Anyways let the show begin." The teams appeared in the stadium and waited for the announcement of who was going first.
It was the Bladebreakers verses the Majestics. Krystal however never stayed to watch because someone from her past was there on another team. She hated his guts. He had joined her father and that was just one reason to hate him. She ran out of the stadium. She had to calm down if she wanted to get revenge, not just for her but for her country.
After she calmed down, she went back out to the stadium just as the Bladebreakers were announced the winners and that the Majestics were eliminated.
Next was the White Tiger X verses the PPB All Starz. Krystal was intrigued with the PPB All Starz 5th member when she stepped up to battle. She was 16 and went by the name Kim Robertson. She had light blue hair that went down to her lower back which was held in a tight braid and she had ice blue eyes. As she held her launcher ready, Krystal got a good look at the colour of Kim's beyblade. It was pure black. Krystal already suspected that the element was dark/shadow. Kim launched her blade and her opponent, Mariah, done the same. Both beyblades slammed into each other sending sparks flying. Krystal could feel that Kim wasn't even using half her power.
"Galux, cat bites," yelled Mariah. Galux came out and tried to attack Kim's blade, but Kim's blade was quicker.
"ShadowLuker, shadow claw," yelled Kim. A black eagle rose out from Kim's beyblade and attacked Galux sending its opponent out of the dish.
The PPB All Starz won and the White Tiger X went and joined the Majestics in defeat. It was down to the Justice 5 versus the Blitzkrieg Boys.
Chapter 22
Alex went first for the Blitzkrieg Boys, while Ming-Ming went first for the Justice 5. They launched and began slamming into each other.
"Mirador, white snow cloud," yelled Alex. A wolf with wings, one black and the other white, with a grey body and red eyes rose from Alex's blade and created a white cloud which covered the dish making it harder for Ming-Ming to see the battle.
"Venus, V-Temptation," yelled Ming-Ming as she began to sing. Venus rose from Ming-Ming's beyblade.
"Shut the hell up," said Alex to Ming-Ming. Ming-Ming stopped singing and Venus stopped its hunt for Mirador.
"You telling me, a famous singer, to shut up?" asked Ming-Ming.
"You are so full of yourself," said Alex, "Mirador, agility strike, knock her outta the dish." Alex's blade, Mirador, zigzagged with great haste and succeeded in knocking Venus out.
Bryan went next and managed to tie with Mystel. Ian lost to Crusher and Spencer lost to Garland. Tala was last, up against Brooklyn.
"Wolborg, Novae Rog," yelled Tala.
"Zeus, King of Darkness," Brooklyn yelled at the same time. Needless to say Brooklyn won the match and shattered Tala's blade. At least Wolborg wasn't shattered. Tala picked the bit chip and made his way back to his team. Alex hugged Tala. Krystal ran up to Tala and rubbed her head against his leg before running and pouncing on Brooklyn. She bared her teeth at him and dug her claws into his shoulder. Ming-Ming hit Krystal over the head with her microphone/launcher and shoved Krystal off Brooklyn. Krystal went sliding across the floor until she hit the side of the bey dish. She stood up and roared. The 4 lions, Sultan, Leo, Kenya and Rahja, came to her side to defend her. Ming-Ming, seeing this, hid behind Crusher.
"Krystal," came Tala's voice. Krystal looked over at him. The look he gave her told her to leave them alone. With 1 last growl to Brooklyn and Ming-Ming, Krystal went over to Tala.
"It's down to the final 3 teams: the Bladebreakers, the PPB All Starz and the Justice 5. Whichever team loses twice will be eliminated and the remaining 2 teams will battle it out for the World Championship Title," said Brad Best. The 3 teams battled and in the end the PPB All Starz got eliminated. So now it was down to the Bladebreakers versus the Justice 5.
"3, 2, 1, let it rip," Brad Best said into his microphone. Ii was Max against Ming-Ming.
"Gravity control," yelled Max.
"V-Temptation," yelled Ming-Ming in a sing-song voice. The 2 attacks hit straight on, however Venus was a bit stronger then Draciel and so Ming-Ming won.
Next up was Ray against Crusher.
Both beyblades were circling each other waiting for its opponent to make the first move. Crusher got impatient.
"Gigars, Demolition Ax," said Crusher.
"Dodge and use Gatling Claw, Driger," yelled Ray.
After the attacks, Ray and Crusher found that they had tied.
Next was Tyson against Garland. Tyson somehow managed to win with his Dragoon's Galaxy Turbo Twister.
Chapter 23
Krystal walked up to the team and purred at Kai. He gave a little smiled at her before going to face Mystel. Kai was at a disadvantage, Mystel's element was water whereas Kai's was fire. It looked like Mystel was going to win. Not if Krystal could help it though. She closed her eyes and called upon Luna to help Dranzer.
"Blazing gigs tempest," Kai yelled.
"Poseidon, ocean javelin," yelled Mystel. The attacks went head to head, creating a small explosion. Dranzer's fire didn't go out, when Poseidon's water hit it, thanks to Luna's darkness element surrounding the fire. Kai won and now it was up to Varsha to win. However she was up against Brooklyn. She gave Brooklyn a death glare.
"How dare you," was all Varsha said as they launched their blades. Varsha's blade was black with dark red on it and it began slamming into Brooklyn's.
"Zeus, King of Darkness," yelled Brooklyn.
"Ambika, dodge and use Aerial Blades," yelled Varsha. Zeus came out and attacked. Ambika rose from Varsha's blade. Ambika was a fox with 3 tails and wings. She was white with dark red tipping the tails and ears and she had brown eyes with amber in them. She created sharp winds in the form of blades which sliced at Zeus.
Brooklyn narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth, "Zeus, King of Darkness, full power." Krystal, seeing as Varsha hadn't fully recovered from its previous attack, called upon Luna once again to back Ambika up. Luna absorbed most of Zeus's attack.
"Ambika, mimicry," said Varsha. Ambika tied to attack Zeus with its own attack, but Zeus was too fast, "Destruction Illusion." Ambika created Brooklyn's worst fear. He coward down as he watched his worst fear. While Brooklyn was distracted, Ambika slammed into Zeus, both elements of wind and darkness (AN: don't forget Luna's helping Ambika still) powering her. She knocked Zeus out of the dish. Zeus flew straight at Brooklyn, cutting his cheek.
"And the winner for the 4th time in a row is the Bladebreakers," said Brad Best, "Thanks for attending this years tournament. Until next time, see-ya."
The sun was just setting when they got to the hotel. Varsha went back to her mansion. Krystal and Kai stepped into their room and just closed the door when they transformed. Crystal held out her arm and Kai perched himself on it.
"I'm going to the castle tonight. You don't to come if you don't want to," she said. Kai screeched as if the say that he was going to go with her. She packed her things and Kai's. She told the rest of the Bladebreakers and they all said that they were going. Everyone had their things packed and ready. Crystal, with Kai on her shoulder, sat on Sultan with her and Kai's luggage in front on her. Tyson, Hilary and their luggage were on Kenya; Ray, Kenny and their luggage were on Leo and Max and his luggage was on Rahja. The 4 lions ran through the streets until they reached the castle gates. The guards automatically recognised her and she and the others were allowed in.
Chapter 24
"I'm back," Crystal yelled as she burst through the doors. Crystal spotted Pyrocha walking down the stairs. She ran and hugged him before asking him to put the Bladebreakers' luggage in spare rooms. She also asked him to give the Bladebreakers a tour of the castle. He nodded. Crystal ran up the stairs that Pyrocha had descended from and went to find her father. On the way she stopped by a large picture of her mother. She had died while giving birth. Crystal gave a silent prayer before continuing the search. She eventually found him in the throne room talking to someone.
"Hell father," she said in an icy tone.
"Crystal. You're still alive," replied the King as he turned around.
"Why wouldn't I be," she retorted, "Are you still planning on my marriage to that fucking arsehole. Well if you are, you can forget about it."
"Watch your tongue," came a voice. Brooklyn steeped out from behind the King.
"My tongue isn't long enough for my to see it without the use of a mirror and besides why don't you fucking make me," replied Crystal in a now icy and dark tone.
"What do you want?" asked the King.
"I want you to fucking take this curse away," Crystal answered.
"Don't swear in front of your father and the King," said Brooklyn.
"Fucking shut up Brooklyn. I can fucking swear all I fucking like," Crystal yelled before storming out of the throne room and up to her room.
