"Oops," Sky said "It still must be in metal mode."
All the Bladebreakers, with the exception of Kai looked at each other in confusion.
"Wha?" asked Tyson.
"I have a another brother who has a metal bey, he is in Japan right now." She said looking up.
"Sooo,"Rei prompted.
"Oh, yeah my bey is Serpent Changeling, it can change into any beyblade in the universe. I guess I forgot to have it change back into it's original form. Did Kai ever tell you he has a metal bey too?"
"Whaaaaat?" All heads turned to Kai, who was starting to shiver a little.
He gave them a weak smile, then turned to walk away, only to try putting weight on his ankle and nearly collapse.
"Kai!" shouted the Bladebreakers.
Sky sighed. "Thank you Tyson," she growled.
"Wha.. What did I do?" He asked.
All she did was give him the satisfaction of seeing her back.
"Awwwwww come on! Tell me! Please?"
"Hn,"was all she said.
Rei noted this,*So I see the habit of short responses, death glares, and cold shoulders run in the family.*
Sky's arm became encompassed in flame, and she held it near Kai, "Here take it," she said.
Kai cupped his hands and Sky placed the flame in his hands.
"Okay Kai, this is going hurt. I'm going to try to see what Tyson did to your ankle." Barely even audible she added. "Don't worry, it shouldn't hurt as much as the Abbey."
She heard his sharp intake of breath. Whether it was because of mention of the Abbey, or because she had started prodding his ankle, she did not know.
"It's a nice clean break, should heal well," she announced.
He merely grimaced and tried to get up and keep walking, limping heavily. His thoughts were growing hazier by the minute.
Tyson leapt to help Kai, only to be held back by Sky, who already was moving towards him. As Kai finally lost consciousness he stumbled forward, right into Sky's arms.
"Hmm," she said smiling. Smirking now she wondered, * How would the Blitzkrieg Boys react if they found Kai like this on their doorstep? But then again, I don't want to put Kai back into Boris's hands. No, I cannot give him back to to the Abbey,*
"I think it's time we returned home," She said shortly turning to leave. Wincing as something jolted her backwards. Looking back she see Tyson holding onto her arm, his launcher gripped in his other hand.
"You will NOT take him away, just to disappear, you get it?" Tyson stated, "You'll have to go through us. I don't care if your bey is metal, or plastic, we have bladers spirit we will not allow another dark blader to go unchecked!"
"Hmm.. Dark blader. is that what you're calling me? Just because I have a black bey? Well Changeling, lets show them what you can do as an original!" Holding up her bey she let them see it transformed in an instant, one moment it was metal, the next moment it wasn't.
She readied her bey and barely let the Bladebreakers have enough time to ready theirs.
"3!"
"2!
"1!"
"Let it RIPPP!" They all yelled.
Sky started her own analysis at the same time as Dizzi. "A Dragoon, Draciel, and Drigger. Hmm, easy enough."
"Dizzi! What just happened?!" Exclaimed Kenny.
"I don't know, Chief. It was too fast for me to analyse!"
"Oh well," he sighed.
"Just keep doing what each of you do in hard battles!" Yelled Kenny.
"Go Dragoon!"
"Woo Hoo, Lets go Draciel!"
"Grr.. Drigger!"
Sky merely smiled. *The force of their combined attacks should crack the ice enough to make them back off. Giving me time to...* Her thoughts were interrupted as she turned to see Kai struggling to get back up.
"Kai, stay down!" she ordered.
"No," was all he managed
"I see the run of DETERMINATION runs in the line of friendship," she said loudly.
Kai realized what she meant. The meaning of determination and how she said friendship crashed down on him. He stumbled into Sky and grabbed her arm, the same one that Tyson grabbed. She winced, and he noticed.
"What... what happened?"
He was ignored as Sky calmly stood to face the Bladebreakers' attacks. *I will not give them the satisfaction of seeing my bit-beast.*
"Give me your best shot." she said. "And Kai, let go of my arm."
*That's odd she will usually just fling me off, no matter how hurt, or whom we're with.* Kai thought. He growled, *This just isn't like her at all! I wish I could see what happened to her arm. Ahh curse that jacket armor.* But all the same he let go and stumbled back, landing on the ice, and feeling it's cold start to seep in.
"Sky! Kai is our friend, we WILL defeat you, no matter how strong you are! We have the determination of FRIENDSHIP. Don't underestma.." Tyson's speech was cut short when Sky outburst laughing.
"Hahahaha haah, Oh, thats too cute," She pointed at them. "Your attack will not work. Because, you know what? Determination is when you're failing, but you have nowhere else to go. And friendship? Hn," she was smirking at the looks of astonishment the were giving her. Their beys had stopped pushing foreword, and Changeling started to live up to the first part of its' name. Weaving like a snake, it barraged the Bladebreakers with attacks.
"Friendship is a mutual feeling between two people who both feel that they would like to be nice to each other. Not one person feeling this, TWO. I'm sure that the word friendship is not how you guys would describe your relationship with Kai. Who by the way should.. CATCH!" She spun around quickly and threw something at Kai. It landed on the ice in front of him bathed in flames.
Looking up at her she saw behind the cold glare he was giving her, Kai was thanking her. Sky grimaced back to him. The moment Kai looked her in the eye she transferred what had happened to her in an instant. Along with an *I'm sorry I'm keeping you out here* tagged on at the end. Sky had taught the telekinesis trick to him long ago, back before he went to live with Voltaire. Kai's eyes widened and he looked down in shame. He saw what was in front of him was Dranzer, or at least it looked a bit like it.
He looked up at Sky in astonishment, "Bu...But..But how?" He questioned, "You seemed too busy to even think about me, more or less, Dranzer!"
"You know what Kai?" she asked back towards him, "I always have time for my siblings, and their beys too."
Kai just sat there and processed the information. *Wow, thats one heck of a sister I'd say. She stuck with me through the Abbey, through, grandpa.* He scowled at that thought. *No he is not my grandfather, he is just Voltaire Hiwatari. I will be myself, but know I am what he made me. There is no turning back. Sky managed not to fall into the darkness, and look at her now.* Kai turned and watched her.
"Guys don't listen to her! Please, guys!" Kenny was pleading with them.
"He's right don't listen to her, just keep attacking, she can't last forever!"
Changeling suddenly went still spinning in the same spot.
"Look she's taken up a defensive stance! This is our chance, if we all use our special attacks, Changeling will for sure be down and out!" cried Max. The rest of the Bladebreakers agreed, Max knew the most about defense, so why would they disagree?
"Okay! Come on out Dragoon!" Tyson's bit-chip glowed a golden color, and Dragoon leapt out.
"Yay! Go Draciel!" Max shouted. There was the sound of rushing water as Draciel came out of it's bit-chip. The two bit-beasts circled in harmony around the black bey, waiting for the others.
"Argh, Drigger I need you now," called Rei. He joined the rest of the beys.
Suddenly Sky called out to Kai, "Kai, I want you to move as far back away from us as you can. I don't want you to get caught in the crossfire of everything."
Kai nodded and scooted back, clutching Dranzer to his chest. He felt its' heat start to move through his body, it felt like he was no longer in a freezer waiting to die.
"Get ready guys!" shouted Tyson. "Now!"
Sky simply smirked,"Lets do this." Her eyes were narrowed and she was eerily calm. Her black scarf tails were fluttering in the cold siberian winds embracing the bladers. Two of the beyblades were being swept into Tyson's tornado, up and up they flew, soon they were spinning at the top, glowing brightly.
"Hmm, planning an areal attack, and with a tornado. I'm surprised that you would even think for a second that would work." Sky was standing tall. Her eyes shone with sarcasm and a little bit of.. Was that boredom? That was it, the boredom in her eyes made Tyson snap.
"Oh, so you think it won't work? Let's see if you can stand it. A P.S. you might want to bring out you bit-beast, if you have one that is." Tyson was mad now. His eyes were narrowed."You will not take Kai, we will win! Kai! Listen to me, if this person is your sister, why have you never talked about her?" Tyson had now turned to Kai. Ready to keep asking questions he glanced at Kai's face. That made him stop. The look on the so-called siblings faces were of mirroring effects. Kai just stared at Tyson, eyes wide open, fear evident in the crimson pools. Sky was quickly at Kai's side, just as his eyes closed and he fell right into her. Her face showed worry, fear, and pain. *I have to stop this.. Now.*
"Tyson," she growled "This is the end." Serpent Changeling had moved from the defensive to the offensive. They shared a deep internal connection,all Sky had to do was nod her head and Changeling would switch, turn, and wreath whenever Sky felt like it.
Changeling started to spin violently, advancing towards the tornado.
"Tyson! Look, it's working, she's being pulled in!" Max exclaimed.
To the Bladebreakers it looked just like that, but to Sky... Well it was something completely different.
"Ha! If she keeps going like that, she will be sucked into the tornado, and her bey will stop!" Tyson yelled enthusiastically.
Sky smirked and muttered, " Wrong." Changeling dove straight into the tornado. The Bladebreakers were astonished to see Tyson's tornado blown through, and Changeling soaring through the air battering the other two beys. Just as Tyson's tornado was ended there was a large boom, and the ice between the bladers cracked apart. Sky jumped up into the air and smirked, watching the Bladebreakers try and keep their balance. She looked behind to Kai, only to realize he was being pulled towards the water by the tilting of the ice.
"Kai! Just hang on!" Sky dove downward in a fast spiral, only to stop at the last second. She grabbed Kai around the waist and flung him over her shoulder.
" Now is the time that we take our leave. Your blades have stopped spinning, and my blade still is," Sky paused, "Oh yeah sorry about not showing my bit-beast."
The Bladebreakers all looked at their beys. They were chipped and broken, and when Rei tried to pick up Drigger, it broke into thirteen different pieces.
"No! Drigger!" He yelled, tears welling in his eyes.
