AFTERNOON_
Hilary came to Grenger's residence as soon as she got discharge from hospital. it took time to take sayoko's permission b/c she was still mad at her but in the end she allowed only if Hilary came back for dinner.
"hello everyone!" she greets as she entered in the dojo where tyson, daichi, max, ray and kenny were having discussion together.
"hii, coach!" max greeted back, so everyone else.
"what you doing here? are you alright? shouldn't you be in hospital right now!" ray asked with concern.
"haha! it's alright, I only collapsed last night, nothing to big to worry about"
"ohh!! it's good to hear that you are alright now b/c last time we all got scared" Hilary warmly smiled to hear that her friends cared for her even though they didn't know her yet!
"what's the matter, kids?" she asked concerned as she read their faces.
"we have nothing new we don't know how to face BEGA! Bladebreakers definitely going to lose!" kenny cried out with anxiety as threw a fit in air.
"don't worry, kenny! we will find a way! you guys always do!" she cheered them.
"yes, guys! she is right!" Tyson agreed with determined look on his face "let's practice more to defeat them!" he cheered.
"YOU CAN'T PRACTICE TYSON. FIRST WE NEED BEYBLADE PARTS TO UPGRADE OR ATLEAST REPAIR YOUR BEYBLADES. YOU GUYS ALREADY RUINED YOURS LAST NIGHT TO FIGHT AGAINST THOSE TWO INTRUDERS!" kenny was pissed off on tyson while scared at same time.
"Interesting fact is, we still don't know who they were!" ray pointed out.
"Why don't we just buy new parts, There has so many stores and our budget is bright too since we get it from BBA"
"it's not about money but if you want to buy anything related to Beyblade you have to be part of BEGA. you have to register there and they will provide you ID card which is source of purchase since all the stores are authorised to BEGA organization." kenny explained "they left us no choice expect choosing their side!"
'I wonder which company gave him loan to stand out? and providing IDs, projects like this takes a lot of money' Hilary went in deep thoughts as she grabbed her chin 'or he took money from black market, but that's would be impossible if the organisation is in show' amd other options were also coming in her mind.
"WHAT! BUT WOULDN'T THEY GET APPROPRIATE AND PRIVATE INFORMATION OF PEOPLE!" Hilary almost yelled as reality hit her, it's the scary part which make her to say it out loudly.
"Yes, they will" kenny replied with nod.
"OKAY!! so I'm going to look for parts if there has any store selling them" tyson got annoyed and announced but before Hilary could say anything he already rushed to main gate "I can bet they'll sell me or maybe give it to free if they found out it's Tyson Granger himself, HAHAHAHA" he proudly laughed at his own pride while others sweat-dropped as they felt second hand embarrassment.
"THEN I'LL GO TOO!" daichi yelled like they were having a compitition again, he rushed to follow Tyson.
"I'm leaving first!" Tyson said as he ran off.
"wait I'm coming too" and daichi went behind him and the rest of bladebreakers sweat-dropped.
"btw where is kai?" hilary asked b/c he was very precious and important person to her...duh!
"we don't know!" max shrugged his shoulders.
"btw would you mind if I ask you to explain about last night" she politely asked "after I passed out" and nervously laughed a little.
"no we won't. actually when you suddenly collapsed, gou- I mean your son also started to react differently" max started to explain everything in short.
FLASHBACK
Hilary fainted and before she could fell on floor, Kai caught her head first before her condition getting any serious, even minor injuries.
"SOMEBODY CALL THE DOCTOR!" kai yelled as he looked at others while Julia came to them and try to held Hilary too but kai only passed her an annoyed look like get off already.
"I'll do it" Mr D said as proceed to call the ambulance as fast as he could while Hilary was unconsciously laying there.
On other side, Black Dranzer started to lose his control on gou. it's unbelievable to see that there was someone who could come out of his possession in night time.
"Mom?" A unfamiliar voice came, cutting other noises from gou which was more like a young guy's voice unlike that heavy voice. he was shivering to death like he saw the end of this world.
"MOM!" he yelled, this time loud enough for everyone, with painful expression on his face like he was fighting with himself, couldn't bear his mom's unconscious form, it was so painfully hard to watch, he suddenly gripped around his temper like it would burst out any moment "AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" he screamed at the top of his lungs, exhaling loudly and his knees collapsed with group. Every blader in that room were confused and scared at same time, nobody wanted to interrupt him by seeing him in this form, what's going on here? But the real gou didn't lose his strength, he stood up by using his all strength and slowly, bit by bit walked towards his mom, as his pace higher up too, but when he was only few steps away from Hilary, Suddenly a back mist came around and slowly engulfed him into the darkness, In front of everyone which shocked others too but kai knew since he was seeing it second time.
"NOO!! NOOOO!!!!!...*noticed the black mist and panicked*... MOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!" gou screamed at the top of his lungs again, coughing a little bit too but when he noticed the dark mist, he panicked and fell on the floor again, almost started crawling and forward his arm while others were way to much scared and confused at get involved. kai gently let go hilary(adult) and reached to grab his wrist but before he could use his reflexes, gou vanished. but... before disappearing, when gou's ruby red eyes met Kai's, he uttered a word which was barely audible for him since he was the nearest person around him. it was 'help', Gou requested for help from him. he sounds so pitiful sorry like it was all his fault. gou was taking all the blame, he definitely didn't want to see his mother, lying unconscious like right now.
FLASHBACK- PAUSED
"WHAT!!!" Hilary shocked, her eyes widened at her limits, like it was getting hard for her to believe.
"Yeah! he was calling you mom and he screamed 'no' in Japanese" max explained her.
"and...what happened after that?" she nervously asked.
FLASHBACK- CONTINUED
It all happened in no matter of seconds that none of them could do anything. Gou, a boy literally vanished infront of their naked eyes and no one could believe it at all.
"WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?!"
"WHERE DID YOU GO?!"
"was he a magician or something?!"
"who knows but that was unexpected!!!"
"SILENCE!!!!" An angry Kai's voice echoed in hall which was enough for everyone. that's very rare from kai to loud his voice. Everyone looked at him as his bangs covered his eyes. It was that again, those ruby red eyes, gou was so badly scared and the way he reacted to see his mom, it was heartbreaking for him like he would cry any moment. kai could see it very clearly but he finally met the real gou, the actual person and owner of that body. Black Dranzer was just using that innocent soul to hurt him and he didn't even know how to fight with him yet.
"kai, the ambulance has arrived!" Mr D immediately said him but kai gave no response.
Then two men in nurse uniform came and took away Hilary with them and ofcourse MrD went with Hilary since he couldn't trust anybody else.
FLASHBACK ENDED
"that's all we know" max finished.
"but what happened with your son there, was really scaring" ray nervously said as he really had no intentions to hurt their coach by any chance. she didn't say anything, she just covered her face with both of hands like she was in pain or she would weep out any moment.
"okay, so where is kai?" she slowly asked as she looked up straight.
"we don't know, he disappeared with his teammates after you went hospital!" ray answered.
"oh!" Hilary frowned a little to hear him.
"so what you've decided to do now, coach?" Kenny asked as he changed the topic.
"right now, let's wait for the others" she sighed as she pressed her nose bridge.
"sure!"
"meanwhile, kenny show me the current stats of boys" she said in serious monotone. she was always strict and punctual when it's came to training.
"stats of what?" he asked as he clearly didn't get what their coach wanted to know about their team.
"EVERYTHING!! While we are at it" she determinedly smiled as she looked down at him with cunning look.
"oh okay" Kenny instantly blushed and stumbled while showing it and then pass dizzi to Hilary.
"kenny" Hilary nervously called him as she sealed lips twitched 'WHAT TYPE OF KEYBOARD IS THIS!!!' she screamed in her mind as she felt like crying.
"what's it, coach?"
"where is the cursor?" Hilary asked as the corner of her lips twitched.
"dizzi don't need one" he answered "I removed it's space, so it could be lighter. it's easy to carry now" with a polite smile.
'I almost forgot that...' she thought as she sweat-dropped "so...that means all the time you put command through the keyboard?" she said as her head tilted, she tried her best not to sound rude.
"yup! it's very easy" kenny answered with a nod. no wonder he typed all day.
'very easy you say?' Hilary gave an Instant look to him 'damn! I think I know about the commands too...shift plus...no wait!... I think it's maybe...*pressed some keys together*..uhh!' and she ended up opening different files and started the backup mode!!!!!!!!
"coach!!!! what are you doing!!!!!!!" Kenny panicked like he would faint out.
"I'm sorry, I really don't know how to use her" and now Hilary was crying?? 'the future tech is so easy to use due to their features. everything is done with one click' old is gold, Hilary. old is gold! she wasn't used to of this old technology but dizzi was still lil high-tech according to this whole arc but future was something, more than any of them expected. Hilary wasn't hating this old lifestyle but she wasn't liking it either.
Ray raised their eyebrows with unease and said "I don't know either"
"can you show me the stats please?" Hilary requested.
"okay" kenny said as he got his soul back with dizzi.
later...
"okay...but, I meant Everyone. where is Kai's?" Hilary asked with questioning look at him.
"uhh! why you want to see Kai's? he won't be playing from our side!"
"I'll!" a familiar deep voice joined them, surprisingly, kenny, max and ray looked at the source of voice.
"KAI!!!" they loudly called his name to see his presence while hilary didn't even flinched. she knew he would come anyways, but obviously, she couldn't hold back her smile to see him either, still reading the stats.
"but I'm here b/c I only want to defeat that kid-" and...her smile vanished to hear his words "-don't expect anything else from me" kai said coldly. he was wearing a black tank top, violet lowers with red vertical stripes on side, white sport shoes and a casual black jacket. the weather was definitely hot but couldn't stand any chance against his temper.
"so you finally joined us?" ray stunned to even ask nervously.
"but I've conditions!" he replied in monotone.
"and what is it?" max asked with unease, he doubted that they would be able to complete his demands.
"I want coach to teach me-" he said as he hardly glared at Hilary, I mean, Hiromi and she looked back at him as response.
"-how to summon dranzer!" he finished his sentence as he narrowed his stare at this suspicious woman. Hilary's eyes widened to hear this team.
"summoning?? you mean bring them out in spiritual form!?" max interrupted as he couldn't get Kai's words.
"are you having hard time to call dranzer? I can help" ray said as he looked at Kai with mischievous look but kai replied with hard glare to shut them instantly instead of words.
"wha-..h-how do you... know about summoning bit-beast!!???!?!" Hilary finally asked him as she was stumbled on her own.
"Gou told me and since you coached him, you might know it very well, Mrs Hiromi" kai said harshly. and I'm telling you that Hilary didn't like his attitude a bit. it hurted whenever he showed her cold shoulder, though, they were in past.
"when?"
"when he came to my mansion. he summoned Black Dranzer infront of me. I bet he is behind tala's injuries too. so, teach me how to defeat him" kai answered in harsh tone, also like he was running late.
Hilary was still having hard time to believe it that this term came way before it should. was it alright to show him? wouldn't it ruin the timeline? the changes she could make, would definitely bring different possibilities to change the future?...or was she overthinking everything due to her pregnancy?
"why do you want to learn it?" Hilary said in another seriously deadpan voice.
"b/c I want to turn gou back to his normal self-" kai determinedly answered in serious tone.
Hilary's eyes amusingly widened as her lips parted by surprise.
"-and then I'll defeat him in proper Beyblade" kai finished his sentence with proud grin and Hilary's smile vanished again and replaced by disappointment.
"looks like I've no other choice!" she mush-room sighed "but let me check your stats and performance first" she said.
"huh?" he thought she was making excuses.
"let's work on those portions which requires improvement" hilary said with unease b/c she could read that kai wasn't happy with the delay. damn! Kai and Gou not only look alike but also act alike.
"so you in our team now?" kenny asked.
"as long as she is willing to teach me" kai said again in Harsh and cold tone.
"THAT WAS YOUR FAULT THAT WE GOT CAUGHT!" tyson came back and also yelling on daichi.
"WHY ARE YOU BLAMING ME!! IF YOU HAD FOLLOWED AS I SAID, THEN IT WON'T HAPPEN!" daichi argued back in even louder volume.
Everyone looked at forest and mountain monkey when they entered in Dojo but when they looked at their teammates and found an extra person, it surprised them, specially Tyson since daichi didn't care.
"huh? kai you are here too! why?" tyson said as he shocked but he didn't replied back.
"he'll play from out side" so, Kenny removed the awkwardness.
"so, you are in our team now?" he asked unknowingly but kai gave the deadliest stare like ask me this question one more time and see what I'll do to you.
Hilary also sweat-dropped and instantly changed the topic "now everyone's here!" she said as she passed the laptop back to kenny "Five minutes!" and then announced in loud voice.
"huh?" everyone looked at her in confused manner.
"I'll give you five minutes to get ready to start for our training" Hilary said in obvious tone
"HUHHH!! ALREADY!" but it stunned others like how fast she was to take decisions.
"let's not waste our time. first, twenty laps of Grenger's residence and it includes you too kai" she ordered in serious voice like she actually meant it.
"uhh!"
"you don't have all day, you all are given limited time, so start already"
"WHA-"
All boys were panting hard after laps and half of them fell on the dusty ground.
"I think that's enough" Hilary said in solid voice as she checked on the dizzi's stopwatch like she didn't even care.
"so...you finally...decided to... teach me!" kai said while panting loudly as he was still on his feets.
"uhh!! we just started yet!" she said with polite plaster smile and he fell from disappointment.
"grr..!" kai inwardly gritted his teeth as he was still on ground but stood up again and others did the same.
"next, 20 push-ups and sit-ups" and here Hilary already announced another training session.
"atleast...give...us...10 minutes!!" Tyson requested as he gasped his breath while he acted like he was dying which he was.
"only 5 minutes!" and they all fell on ground expect kai, he leaned in the wall while looking at Hilary on time to time with angry glares b/c she was making him wait even longer and he couldn't wait to defeat gou. he doubted that she was actually on their side and sneakingly helping Boris.
Kai's one side of mind was, Asking for answers while the other didn't wanted to believe them at all, just exactly like how his one side was mad her for everything happened so far while his other half couldn't be mad at her since she resembles current time's Hilary at some level when it comes to facial features and responses.
AFTER PUSH-UPS
"So what about now?" he professionally gathered strength to sat-up and asked to Hilary while others were still doing their sit-ups.
"rest a bit for now" "meanwhile let me check if your Beyblade is fine or not"
"fine"
"WOAH! you repaired and upgraded dranzer already. what type of gear is it?" Hilary fascinated as she carefully analysed dranzer but sooner dranzer's bit-chip glowed brightly like it was ready to come out b/c caused Hilary's eyes to go wide. she immediately handed him back to kai who also noticed it.
"what was that?" kai instantly asked in demanding tone.
"uhh... I-I think... dranzer didn't like me, he might get angry" once again Hilary answered with uneasy expression 'damn! he reached to my soul to greet me, I bet dranzer found out that it's me' she inwardly sweat-dropped.
"no wonder..." kai sound like he hissed in low as he turned his gaze away from her "so when exactly we are going to start our training?" he asked in demanding tone as he glared hard at her.
"sooner! trust me I'm not lying" she nervously laughed 'should I tell him basics already!?... but what if he got more suspicious about me. uhhh! I don't have couple of choices either' and once again Hilary didn't had couple of choices.
"why do I feel like you are playing around" kai said as he pierced her soul through his solid glares.
'b/c I'm playing around' she thought as she felt like sweating, though, she was wearing casual clothes.
"Mr boris, our main investors wants to meet you!" his secretary came in to inform him the changes in his schedule.
"what? why so suddenly!?" he asked as he stumbled on sudden meeting.
"the manager didn't tell the specific reason for meeting. he only said it's something urgent, so you can't skip" she explained in detail.
"when they fixed the meeting?" he said for details as he had no other choice left.
"this evening"
"already?...AHHH!!!" and he pissed off to hear this, he already dealed with gou today and now this "you! just get out!" he yelled at her to cool him down.
"now what she wants!" here, he was talking about the person who lent him money to work this BEGA, he mumbled to himself in irritated manner after he let his body dropped on his chair and then suddenly he heard a knock on his door, before he could say anything gou burged in his attire and casually sat on the chair across the desk, completely inviting himself.
"NOW WHAT YOU WANT!!!!" he raged out at him too as his forehead nerve twitched.
"tsk, chill old man!"
"YOU!!" Boris stood up from his chair and was ready to kick out gou from his office.
"I want to know about... black Dranzer" gou said in seriously cold tone.
when Boris heard that name again he froze on his grounds as his blood in his veins turned cold.
"w-what? what are you talking about?" he totally denied to accept anything related to past, his past but he was no good in his present either.
"I don't know anything about anything!" he nervously denied as his cringey voice turned even cringé.
"you know, I know very well that you know" gou sneered at him angrily "I got the piece of information that you were involved in Biovolt thing or something like that what is that? do *fixed his gaze* you know anything?" he said in playfully sing-sang voice and then turned cold at last line.
"what? y-you...you might mistook me from somebody else, gou"
"so I also misunderstood that you were the main of incharge of the team who was working on black Dranzer?" and now, he was sarcastic too.
"..." but this time, Boris decided to stay quiet as he was looking for an answer.
"you've meeting with that lady who is your investor, right?" amd gou also found another way to get the info on his own "I think... I should say "hii" to her,..what you think?" now he was using Boris' ls cringé way to speak.
"youuuu!!!!...DON'T!!!!" he finally barked out as he grew angrier.
"OH!? I could... and I would. I might bring up this topic to her since you aren't telling me anything. Maybe she knows something" gou smirked widely at last line, he knew the winds was according to his Direction.
"DON'T YOU DARE TO!!!!"
"even if she don't know anything, she'll be surprised to hear your old records or want to take back her deal, but if you want me to keep my mouth shut. you better open your mouth already! now, startover"
"Around 15 years ago, our scientist of Biovolt were working on the main project where we were creating bit-beast"
"correction: Cyber Bit-beast from the soul of innocent animals" he narrowed his deadly ruby red eyes.
'uhh! this kids knows already!' Boris thought as he got even more irritated but he still had to keep his reputation.
"tell me about black Dranzer and his first Owner's relationship" gou directly demanded, more like ordered.
"we decided to start a new project with Dranzer and it took us next few years to get success but B.Dranzer was so strong that no one could ever control it, but the only grandson of chairman, you also know him as Hiwatari Kai himself always had a huge interest in b.dranzer, he tried it, used it and ended up destroying the whole research centre. later, he was sent back to Japan for treatment. but during the finals of 1st Beyblade World Championships, kai used black Dranzer to get bladebreaker's sacred bit-beasts and others too but later he changed his mind and decided to never use black Dranzer ever again. he was the first and last person who controlled black dranzer after that, no one knows where is the black Dranzer" Boris explained in the pissed off narrative tone meanwhile Gou was losing his control over his body. the black Dranzer was getting over him again and boi was he angry. he was angry-angry. he remembered that how kai abandoned him for the holy bit-beast amd his friends, though, he was way much better and stronger than them.
Gou's eyes turned blood shot red, just like ghouls, his voice turned heavier and started to echo, though, the office was congested b/c of the stuffs. he screeched his teeth and glared hard at Boris with deadly glares.
"YOU! YOU SAYS YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AFTER THAT!!!" he yelled at him madly and stood up from his chair.
"w-wha-what... a-are...y-you..-" he started to shiver as he felt the familiar aura again but shockingly it was black Dranzer who was making emitting his energy and dark aura, so boris could know about him without any word.
"YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT HOW IT WAS YOU WHO ORDER TO SEAL ME AND THROW ME IN THE DARKEST CORNER OF THIS WORLD FOR FOREVER!!!!!" he yelled at him again as stomped his feets to reach him as his hands were craving to grab his neck.
"AHHHHH!!" he screamed with fear and death.
"SCREAM BORIS! SCREAM OUT LOUDER!!!"
"what you want from me. it's Kai's fault. go blame him, destroy him not me" he used his last attempt to show that he was innocent.
"just b/c no one could bond with me, so I suddenly became threat to you and the rest of the world" he said in low deep voice as they were barely few feets apart.
"but- but-"
"I already let you go on your own but now not anymore" black Dranzer(gou) walked to him and clawed his face with his right hand, he could see intense fear in his eyes, fear for him "Boris, you are done!" he said with Victorious grin.
Suddenly, the familiar Black mist came from gou's body, snacked around his right arm and attacked boris and went right in his skull through any openings like nostrils, eyes,ears mouth. Boris's eyes rolled back into his brain and then black Dranzer let him fall on floor as he withdrew his hand.
Boris stood back on his feets within no time and smiled like a obedient dog at Black Dranzer/gou.
"what can I do for you, master?" he offered as he bowed.
"heh! I wonder why I didn't do it earlier" Black Dranzer smudged a laughed widely "but now I can get into your nerves. I found something about you that I didn't know you are scared from that lady" he chuckled again at his last words but Boris didn't flinched at all since he was in under control of black dranzer, it was quite unlike gou.
"kai" Hilary called him but he only turned to look at her without any word.
"kai, I'll definitely teach you whatever you want but first I've request for you!" kai narrowed his eyes by hearing her work.
"what's it?" he asked in emotionless tone.
"my sources are unable to find the details about the people who invested in BEGA?! So I want you to find out who provided them such a big amount of money in less time." Hilary determinededly explained this to kai like it was actually a serious problem.
"I'll-" kai instantly replied which bought a little hopeful smile on Hilary's face "-but seriously, you better teach me this time" he said as he narrowed his eyes.
Beginner riti: omg!! I already wrote 2.5k(barely 2k has main story). it's so lengthy already.(haven't expressed properly) let's upload this much.
current riti: damn! it's only 10k(only contains the dialogues and rough part) yet. I think it'll take 2-3k so complete and edit it. (tried my best to short it but ended up making it even longer) I hope they don't cringé it while reading (b/c I really gives my best)
Now me while writing this ffn: I said I'll keep the length but it's so short. Should I extend the length to 5k..NO!! ATLEAST 6K. THAT SHOULD BE AVERAGE...but these chapters will be fun if I don't write it as essay since this story has so many ups and downs. they might forget it till they reach the bottom.
So, I finally decided to make it 5 uhh!-...4K WORD LIMIT!!!
HAVE A NICE DAY :D
