Once again, sorry for the late upload. I'm trying my best to work on the pace of my stories.

I hope you enjoy this chapter. If not, enjoy the beauty of the words xD. Do review and rate my stories. Tell me what I can do better, if you find any faults. And lastly, stay safe.

"Okay, guys. Today's a big day. We have to find the stadium, we're on the path. Cutting to the chase, no more risks or battering yourself. We have to get Julia back. And Tyson, you'll be fighting- "

"No." Kai interjected Kenny. "Tyson isn't playing this battle. I am." Everyone looked at Kai in disbelief and anger.

"What do you mean, Kai? We need the strongest blader to fight!" Michael yelled.

"Yeah, dude!"

"Yeah, don't act like the leader."

Rick smirked in the corner. "Leave the guy alone." Everyone looked at him. "Kai is reasonable. Your relationship with him is volatile, but that doesn't mean you use it against him."

To everyone's surprise, Tyson hadn't uttered a word.

"I think Tyson should get a say in this." Mariah suggested. "Well, Tyson? What do you think?"

Tyson bit his lips. His eyebrows unwrinkled. He vaguely looked at Kai, with an expression of being caught between a rock and a hard place. Tyson would usually never take in anyone's words, given his conceivable stubbornness. Although this time, things seemed a little different. His thumb slid through his lips tenderly. This situation had rather pressurized him, but he decided to take through it.

"I would love to fight, of course. But I want to know something, Kai. Do you have a reason to be fighting this battle so eagerly?" Tyson interrogated fiercely. "If you aren't reasonable, then I am not going to let you have the fight."

Kai shut his eyes and smirked. "Tyson, no one tells me what to do. But to answer your question, I do have a reason."

Everyone rolled their eyes at Kai.

"It better not be preposterous, Kai. Or I'm going to have to vote you out." Bryan said, mocking the usually silent boy.

"To answer your question, Tyson," Kai continued, ignoring Bryan. "I was kinda responsible for these actions. I was there, but I failed to save her. I lost to a grabbing machine. I lost my learnings. I lost the ones I could relate myself to."

Everyone was taken aback and bewildered. Conspicuously, Kai's words didn't seem fathomable to the group. But Tyson seemed to have started to get it.

"So," Tyson started off. "You were there to console her, but you failed to save her. You lost to a grabbing machine and you weren't victorious, which is something you always wanna be. You lost what you could learn from the one and only Julia, because you can relate yourself with her. And now, you want to fulfil your regrets. You want to get Julia back. She's the female who could fill that hole in your heart. Am I right, Kai?"

"You hit the nail on the head, Tyson."

While everyone grinned, Hilary gasped widely at Tyson's thinking. When it comes to humanity, she was always stuck by one thought, that Tyson was a dense guy. But today, she didn't realize she was wrong. What had come across at the moment, was a change in Tyson Granger. He had grown up, physically and mentally.

"Alright, then!" Tyson smiled. "I'll let you have it, Kai! But don't mess us up. And besides, if anyone has to look after Hilary, it might as well be me." He looked around. "So, are you guys ready for this?" Tyson lifted up his index finger and stretched his arm right towards the cave. "Past that cave, is where the battle begins! Come on, let's head out!"

The G-Revolutions were now ready to fight an intense battle. Passing through the cave, the bright sunshine hit them directly on their eyes and the speakers blew up.

"So, I see, you've made it!" Gideon spoke up. "I am not surprised. It's just what I expected from the former World Champions. But, the battle is the real deal. I hope you're ready for it. Or, it could cost you good."

"Bring it on!" The G-Revolutions yelled, full of spirit.

Dark shadows covered a figure, surrounded by lightness. Gradually, a turquoise-haired boy came in. His hair was a length up to his hips, which was tied half-way at the back. The boy wore a very familiar purple and white outfit. The obscureness had faded away along with the dark shadows. The Bladebreakers, except Daichi, gasped loudly. Tyson's eyes glistened.

"It can't be…" Max blinked. "Is it…really you?"

Daichi was as perplexed as the rest of the teams. They decided to conclude with the most obvious statement, that the Bladebreakers had seen this little guy.

Unlike the other Bladebreakers, Tyson stood stunned and startled. Kenny hugged his laptop tightly with surprise. Ray gritted his teeth, piling up some memories while Max stood as surprised as Kenny. Hilary had her hands balled onto her chest.

"Do you know him by any chance?" Emily questioned Kenny, placing her hands behind her back.

"Yes! Of-of course we do! This g-uy, we m-et-him al-most-two-ye-ars-ago!" Kenny stammered while he retorted. It didn't suffice enough for the rest to know, so Emily decided to question Max about it, who would, hopefully to her, give an unambiguous answer.

Max close his eyes. "He's…a friend of ours. He was a big fan of Tyson the first time we met him. He was an amateur in beyblading, but we decided to help him through. He was even desperate on attaining a bit-beast. He was very cheerful and merry. Well, he was after all, just a kid. One day, he…" Max paused gave a loud sigh.

"He did what?" Emily asked curiously.

"He…started resenting us."

The girls except Hilary gasped. Tyson slightly bit his lip. Kai was snarling, with the reasons being unknown.

"You help him with a lot of effort…" Mariah said. She then pointed sharply at the boy. "And he resents you? Who is this guy?"

"The cheerful guy was now…depressed?" Max said, hesitantly.

"Max!" Emily yelled.

"I'm sorry…" He said softly. "I don't know how to say this. But anyway, during the second world championships…we realized that his dad, Dr. Zagart, wanted to capture all four of our bit beasts. Along with that, this boy completely changed his attitude. Kai faced him somewhere in the finals and lost. He lost…dranzer."

Kai snarled at that comment.

"In the end…it was time for Tyson to face him, with whom he had built a good bond. In the matches before this, we all had lost our bit beasts. Only dragoon was left…"

"But why did he want the four sacred bit beasts?" Michael questioned.

"To…" Max stammered. "To…"

"Spit it out!"

"To turn him into a human."

Everyone was startled. They were intimidated by the last statement, but at the same time, bewildered.

"What do you mean? Now you're making it confusing!" Emily chastised. "Turn him into a human? Are you pulling a leg here? What is he, a ghost?"

"Actually, he's not." Max impassively replied, annoyed at Emily's admonishing. "He's a robot. And he didn't know about it, until the world championships came up, which was why he was so under the weather. Which was why I used…depressed. So in the finals, he faced Tyson and desperately wanted to get the bit beasts, for he can become a human boy. But he failed. Tyson won the battle. Well, in the end, Tyson gave his consolations, as to how he could do so many things humans couldn't. And the fact that blading will always be common among them." Max's lips curled into a smile.

"But, why are you guys so anxious? I mean, you've reunited. Shouldn't you be exhilarated?" Raul questioned.

"Raul," Kai called out. Unfolding his arms, he said, "Where do you think he's coming from?"

"Uh…"

"Let me get straight to you, junk head." Rick walked forward. "They will be facing this boy."

Kai stood ahead of the group. "I'm not losing this time," he said, looking down at the boy.

Tyson's eyes hadn't stopped glistening. "We meet again…"

"Zeo."

What do you think of my story? I hope I'm doing well. Also, I'm sorry if I'm taking time to upload. I really don't get time to write my stories.
