A Champions Crisis
.[Chapter 3].
"Galman! Let's show him what true power looks like!" The green haired teenager declared as he took his final stance, "Attack now!"
"Pft, in that case, let's show him what a champion can do." Tyson rubbed his index finger under his nose and grinned confidently, "Dragoon!"
Even though neither bitbeast had risen out of their blades, the spinning tops charged across the dish and collided against one another aggressively. Galman was struggling to maintain a steady spin, but Dragoon had a bigger problem that was awaiting for him.
Tyson didn't have enough energy to keep fuelling this force and it wasn't long until the aftermath of his mental health decline had got the best of him. Within seconds of the attack, the Bladebreaker had collapsed onto his knees. His eyelids were firmly closed and his body was trembling helplessly.
The world champion had finally burnt out~
"Tyson!" Max screamed out naturally. "He's down!"
"What?" Kai's eyes flung wide open and he leaned onto the edge of his seat to get a better glance of the scenario. He seriously couldn't believe what he was witnessing; Tyson was out cold and Dragoon had been left to defend himself without any reinforcement. "Urgh."
"Now is your chance Kevin!" Lee called out from behind his teammate, "Finish him quickly."
"Lee!" Rei barked from the otherside of the dish as he rushed over to Tyson to hold his teammate in his arms, "Even if Kevin defeated Dragoon, this win wouldn't be ethical or fair..."
"Since when do you know the definition of fairness?" Kevin grinned and clenched his fists. He was going to seize the opportunity before it jumped out of the window. "Galman! Finish off this disgrace!"
Although Dragoon was wobbling unsteadily, the beyblade was still spinning. The ancient beast wasn't satisfied with the injustice that Kevin was about to perform. He was confused as to why his owner had fallen so weak, but there was no way that Dragoon was going to let his owner down without putting up a fight, especially as Tyson has taken so many hits for the bit-beast himself.
"NOW!"
"Kevin!" Max was loading his beyblade launcher, but Kai had restrained him by reaching out his hand to latch it onto the scruff of his green t-shirt. "Uh… Kai! You have to let me go man, Tyson needs us!"
But Kai didn't utter a single word. Instead, he just shot his American teammate a cold glare that spoke a million phrases in one. It wasn't by choice, but the Hiwatari was protecting the team from losing their cool.
Galman began to drive into the unsteady beyblade, but Dragoon had seen enough. Without a warning, he rerversed his gears and went into attack mode. The white beyblade glowed and Dragoon rose out of the spinning top like a dangerous warrior who was ready to end this fight without having an ounce of mercy in his attacks.
The crowd gasped and Rei shielded Tyson's figure as a huge hurricane began to build up in the atmosphere.
"Kevin! Get out of there now before you get hurt!"
Mariah's caring words went unheard as the hurricane had popped Kevin's eardrums. He braced his arms to protect his face and he began to scream effortlessly. It was too late, Kevin was feeling the full aftermath of Tyson's fall.
"Wow, Dragoon is angry." Kenny shrieked with tears filling his anxious eyes. "He is protecting Tyson."
"Go DRAGOON!" Max gritted his teeth and growled in a low tone, "Show them that you and Tyson are not a force to be messed with!"
Galmon couldn't withstand the hurricanes full force as the harsh winds blew the beyblade out towards the edge of the dish. Dragoon's fierce roar then intimidated the war monkey and the lilac beyblade began to lose its spin.
He was history~
Kevin's beyblade went flying out of the dish and the young teenager was sent flying backwards along with it. He landed at his leaders feet, whom didn't look impressed with the result of the match.
But there simply wasn't any time to celebrate for the Bladebreakers. Once the storm had dramatically disappeared and Dragoon had returned to his beyblade to stop spinning. The spinning top then self destructed into a thousand tiny pieces. It was representing just how fragile the bit-beast and his master [Tyson] was.
Kai then finally had released Max and the pair then rushed over to Tyson. He was still conscious, but he simply wasn't lifeless. The champion had over exhausted himself from trying to pretend that everything was 'normal', when secretly, it wasn't. He was broken.
"I think this is a serious wake up call guys. Tyson needs help." Rei stated in a concerned tone as he picked up his teammate to lift him over his right shoulder. "I am taking him to the hospital. Kai, will you take my match against Lee?"
"No." Bluntly replied Kai, "We are not changing our plan because of this drama queen..."
"Kai!" Kenny bellowed in frustration, "If you don't take that match, then I will!"
A smirk then creased into the corners of the captain's mouth as he snatched the burden on Rei's shoulders. "I am taking him. After all, I am always the reserve." The Dranzer wielder explained wisely as he carried Tyson out of the dome and headed out to his own private vehicle.
They went straight to the hospital, but he wasn't going to let Tyson live this down until he opened up about exactly what was bothering him~
"Come on then, I haven't got all day."
"Why are you so bitter and involved in this Kai?" Tyson questioned with his eyes swelling up with tears, "Is it because I almost lost my title to Kevin?"
An impatient growl flared through Kai's mouth and he latched his hands onto the steering wheel to prevent himself from punching Tyson in the face.
"Do you forget that I am your captain Tyson? It's my job to protect this team, even if it means defending your title." The bluenett Russian snarled, "So drop the rivalry for ten minutes and get talking."
A/N: I finally wrote the chapter that I have been looking forward to so much. I cried, I laughed and I wanted to hug every single character that was present. But hey, I am getting better now as I have promised myself a fresh start. I am forgiving myself for not being perfect and I am going to escape this tunnel of depression so I can stay strong for my siblings. Life is what you make it - Granger~
