THANKS FOR STOPPING BY READERS.

I really appreciate you stopping by. This is the revised version of the story first uploaded as 'Midnight Heir' in 2017. There were a lot of changes in the plot. Due to that happening, I had to restart the story. Hopefully, I will finish this off before another plot comes up in my mind.

A quick introduction to new terms referred to in the story:

Bit-Beast: bit-beasts are trapped beast or creatures which help Beybladers enhance their beyblading level and compete against other bladers using the bit beast powers. Every bit beast has its own powers and their own uniqueness.

Tyson-Dragoon which is an air-based bit beast

Max- Draciel; which is a water-based bit beast

Ray- Driger; its a tiger based bit beast

Kai- Dranzer; it's a fire-based bit beast

Katyusha(OC): Drowenal which is an ice-based bit beast

It wasn't like I wasn't expecting this interruption, but it was quicker than I was expecting at least.

The sun was setting, displaying heavenly colours in the evening sky. The chilly but cosy weather of my hometown made me realize how much I have missed it. Therefore, here I was away from everyone, running away from my responsibility, calling it duties. But I had my reasons to run away which couldn't be understood by everyone. I don't blame my team to be angry about the same for a part of me wanted to blurt out everything to whom I owed practically my life: The Blade Breakers.

Now I am face to face with reality. I ran away and they followed me here after waiting for me to return but only to learn that I wouldn't be.

"Hi guys"

I said as a greeting, which I knew very well, wouldn't be expected. Tyson's anger was on a different level compared to others. He was practically throwing out smoke from his ears. He had always been like this ever since I met him. Sensitive. Naïve. But at the end of the day he was always there for his team and vice versa. And that was what I adored about each one of them. Everyone came second in front of their team and family, but I knew better than that that they can drift away and face each other.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY 'hi guys'?" he raged out.

Max and Ray were going unsettlingly red behind him too. It seems like I am going to be chopped to death today, I thought to myself. Daichi had already started to jump around my room by now. Hilary and Keeny had started to examine my things which was spread like algae around the room. They seem to be absorbing the surrounding. It won't be much of a shock since that's everyone's first instinct when they are in an unfamiliar environment.

I sighed "I won't apologize so why try? What I did wasn't wrong, not wrong from my respective at least" I explained, "I sorry to make you guys worry though."

Ray came over to my side and slightly squeezed my arm. "You could have at least told us but running away without telling is.." he smiled a betrayed smile.

" It feels like a betrayal" I finished for him. He just smiled. He and I have close since we met because of our age. Along with Kai, he is the only one of my age. Age doesn't really matter to me, more likely its one's experience which matters in any situation. I smiled back at him.

"Why did you go away though?" Max said interrupting my thoughts. Before I could explain myself, the door to my room slammed open. My twin brother, Jake, walked in to find around seven people occupying a room which is always empty. His face turned into a distinguished scowl, to confusion and to realization in split second. He wasn't aware of their arrival. Well, no one was but still, he looked completely shook.

"Aren't they the members of your team?" he said while playing with his raven coloured hair.

It seems like someone was much more surprised than he was. Kenny gave out a scream after seeing him. Tht could have been expected. He was quite famous in the bey blading world. "Are you Jake?" he asked nervously

My twin gave out a laugh "yes, it's me."

Now it was Kenny's turn to start jumping in the air. "KATYUSHA? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? Did YOU know JAKE ALL ALONG AND NEVER EVEN UTTERED A SINGLE WORD? HOW DO YOU KNOW EACHOTHER? SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR? WHEN DID YOU GUYS MEET? " Jake had crossed the room and was on my side now. "I might have missed something out of part of my introduction-" I said with difficulty before being interrupted again.

" DID YOU KNOW HE WAS ONE OF THE TWO WINNERS IN THE INTERNATIONAL LEVEL BEYBLADING BATTLE? HE AND SOMEONE ELSE WON THE FIRST INTERNATION TOURNAMENT FROM JAPAN" He seemed like he was addressing an assembly but the people he was trying to address were bored out of their wits. The only one who seemed even slightly interested was Tyson. He seemed like he enjoyed the news. It was my time to tease them for once

"Really?" I said facing Jake, " you never once told me about it."

It seems like the brain of the team couldn't still point out the similarity. We are identical twins but seems like it wasn't obvious in this case. Jake played along happily.

"Long back ago, actually."

"but still you know how much I like Beyblade, right? How could you have deceived me like this, Jake!"

"Hold on a second I will gather all the information I can about the following!" he said proudly. I just smiled at his excitement to see Jake in real life. The only one who didn't seem slightly interested in the surrounding seemed to find herself in quite a dilemma. Hilary looked very suspicious about all the things going on.

"wait a second. Something seems off"

"You felt that too?" Max queried. I just gave them a knowing smirk. Meanwhile, Kenny, Tyson and Daichi looked very concentrated. They finally got themselves the information they were trying to find.

Now this is going to be interesting, I thought to myself

"the news says that Jake along with his sister won the first IBC (International Blading Championship) six years ago" He informed the other curious minds. "his sister in never mentioned in any article or documentary, though." He looked up at Jake.

"Can you explain why?"

Jake just shrugged and said, "my sister has never been the open type, you see"

"where is your sister, Mr Jake"

"eyy! Don't be so formal around me. We all are around the same age. And for what's worth I am supposed to be the one fanboying over you guys. You guys are way talented and accomplished than I ever was." He said. "and as for your answer, she is in the same room as we are."

I couldn't control my laughter at their change of expression. It felt like he had just turned the world upside down for all of them.

"WHAT?!" everyone said in unison while looking at me. Its been three years since I have known these guys but still there were something which always shook them about me. And that was the very reason I kept so many secrets. To see their expression after getting to know the ultimate truths of my life. For what's worth this is isn't even half of what lies ahead.

"DEAR NME, WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING ON THIS EARTH? YOU ARE THE NATIONAL CHAMPION?" Ray bellowed

"No doubt you two looked so much alike." Hilary exclaimed. " no wonder something was strange about your actions"

"Actually the news is kind of wrong. We aren't brothers and sisters. In fact, we are twins" she explained. "as you guys are aware of me going to Voltaire's training like Kai. After Kai burst down the camp, many people left it. I was one of them. I had nothing to do but to accompany my brother to the IBC. We won it thanks to our teamwork." I said waving off Ray's suspicious looks "Stop looking at me like I committed a murder. I wasn't even strong enough to compete in the competition. It was Jake who won it. Practically saying I wasn't ready the. But I am more than ready now."

" Do you realize Katyusha, this fact makes it makes me even more excited to battle against you," Tyson said raising his index to point at me. "Be ready for it."

"But you know what, Tyson, I am way smarter and stronger than you think." I said it with a smirk. "I will be ready to fight you with my full power. Wait and watch" Tyson said

"Tyson can you stop making fake promises when we all know that you will end up losing all over again against her. Sometimes it's better to accept defeat, you know." Hilary pointed out. Everyone busted out laughing. Daichi started to roll around the room.

Now I understand why I tagged along with these guys for so many years. They never let anyone down for even a minute. They are always competitive to win and DON'T except for their loss. And that's what makes me stronger every day to see that they will come back to a person even though they constantly drift away.

I envy Tyson's understanding and will power to fight but remaining kind and trustworthy at heart. He was a long-decided champion. And I was proud that I could help this dragon to soar through the sky and shoot up to the stars.

"I will bring cookies for you guys. Till that time tell your experience to Jake." I said before opening the door

"yep, totally. And I also want to know how you find my idiotic sister to help you guys?" he said after I walked away from the door.
