Thanks once again for the reviews in the last chapter and all the other chapters! Much appreciated!
Disclaimer: I don't own beyblade or the characters, but I own this story!
Enjoy guys!

The weather only intensified as the battle began between three of the world's most powerful bit beasts. Wind clashing with claw clashing with fire. Tarvos Trigaranus flew around in the air, its large blood red wings catching the rain and dripping off like a waterfall to the soaked earth below. It flew around again, diving towards Dragoon. Shikari's orange eyes grew darker, his smirk grew wider, his cat like fangs bared. "Still think you can defeat me?"

Dragoon roared as Tarvos Trigaranus advanced. 'I must protect Tyson with my life. I cannot allow him to harm Tyson, or Dranzer.' The wind picked up around Dragoon, creating a hurricane of some sorts.

Shikari smirked. 'Please. Don't make me die of laughter.' He then looked towards Tyson. "Destroy the hurricane, Tarvos Trigaranus!" Tarvos Trigaranus obeyed, opening its beak. A small ball emerged from its beak, growing larger and larger. Shikari's laugh sent a tingle down Tyson's spine. How could anyone be so blood thirsty? How was this bit beast created? For what reason did they create this bit beast?

So many thoughts ran through Tyson's head. He shook his head as the ball that was forming within Tarvos Trigaranus's beak grew larger and larger, the earth below cracking and flying everywhere. Tyson growled and looked over to Kai and Dranzer.

Dranzer screeched and flew for Tarvos Trigaranus, hoping to catch it off guard, hoping that the energy ball within its mouth would diminish and not harm Tyson and Dragoon. Kai grit his teeth as he kept low on his phoenix, feeling his body throbbing from the pelting of the rain on his fresh wounds. He hissed and sat up slightly. "Dranzer! Blazing gig!"

Dranzer screeched once more, a fire ball forming in his mouth. He flew closer and closer to Tarvos Trigaranus, now circling it. Shikari had his eyebrows narrowed the whole time with a deadly smirk upon his now dark lips. "TAKE THEM OUT!" Tarvos Trigaranus released the ball of energy from its beak, hurtling towards Dranzer.

Dranzer stopped in mid-flight, releasing the ball of fire from his mouth, watching it speed towards the energy ball. They collided. Twisting and turning, trying to cancel the other out. The balls became larger as they merged together. Shikari's eyes widened slightly, as did Kai's. Kai grit his teeth. "Dranzer! Fly away!"

Dranzer nodded and flew around once again, diving away from the combined energy of the fire and energy ball. A taloned hand took hold of Dranzer's tail. He screeched in pain. "Where do you think you're going?" Kai gasped back at Shikari as Tarvos Trigaranus kept a firm hold on Dranzer's tail, the magnificent red and gold phoenix screeching in pain from its dislodging feathers. "If we're going down, you're coming with us!"

Tyson shook his head. "NO!" Dragoon roared and jumped into the air, sending a powerful gust of wind hurtling towards the combined energies. It made a barrier around the two, exploding but not making a huge impact. Tarvos Trigaranus released Dranzer, Shikari watching as the phoenix flew down to Dragoon, landing next to him. Tyson looked to Kai, who was panting heavilly. "Kai? Are you okay?"

Kai merely nodded. He tried to speak but no words formed. He was exhausted. Dranzer had a worried look plastered on his face, looking to Dragoon. 'My master is wounded greatly. He must not participate in this any further.'

Dragoon looked to Dranzer, his eyes soft. 'I know we will not be able to convince him otherwise. I know from Tyson, that Kai is very hard to convince in times like this.' Dragoon then looked up. 'If we were not in beast form, maybe we could take Tarvos Trigaranus out a bit easier.'

Dranzer shook his head. 'But, what do you suggest then, Dragoon? That we change from our beast forms into our true forms?'

Dragoon nodded. 'That is exactly what I am saying. If we were in our true forms, then we could seal the fate of this blood thirsty griffon and its master once and for all. What do you say?'

Dragoon stared at Dranzer for quite some time. The phoenix looked back at his master. He was weakening dramatically. Dranzer then nodded. 'Let us do this then.' Dranzer screeched, crouching down and rolling Kai off of his back. The Russian did not fight back, knowing full well that his body would not do what he wished it to. Dragoon then followed suit and picked Tyson up off of his neck spike, placing him on the ground next to Kai.

Tyson looked up at his beloved blue dragon. "Dragoon? What's wrong? You can't take this guy alone!" Tyson then averted his gaze down to Kai. Blood seeped out of his fresh wounds more and more, the rain thinning his blood out and dripping down his body. Tyson growled and looked up at Dragoon and Dranzer. "If you think that whatever you have planned will defeat them, then go for it!"

Dragoon roared and raised his arms. 'Just what I wished to hear from you, Tyson! LET US NOW TRANSFORM DRANZER!!'

Dranzer screeched in agreement, holding his wings out to his sides, glowing a bright red. Tyson watched as Dranzer shrank down further and further. He was no longer a phoenix, but what looked like the form of a person his age. Tyson gasped as Dragoon was encased in a light blue light, he too shrinking down to Dranzer's size. Tyson's eyes went wide. "What... what the heck is going on?"

Dragoon stood there, the light fading. He was a young man, Tyson's age, maybe a bit older. He had spikey royal blue hair with stunning bright orange eyes. He was well built, wearing pants that were torn, a thick rope hanging down from his left pocket. He had longish nails with a fare complexion. All in all, Dragoon looked rather dashing.

Tyson then looked to Dranzer, expecting the same. But it was completely different. His eyes went bug like. Dranzer was not a 'he' at all. He was a 'she'. She had long, beautiful light blonde hair the reached her mid back. Charming light blue eyes that stood out against her pale complexion. She wore a strange red dress like top with three quarter red pants. She wore no shoes, but her feet did not seem too cut up or anything. Gold lace was embedded on the front of her red dress like shirt, breaking away from the red. In Tyson's mind, Dranzer looked beautiful beyond all belief.

Dragoon looked back at Tyson. "Forgive us, master," His voice was deep, but soothing. "We did not think it would have to come to this, us changing to our true forms." He then looked forward at Tarvos Trigaranus. "But deperate times call for desperate measures."

Tyson nodded, still a little confused. "Can you defeat him, Dragoon?" Dragoon merely nodded. Tyson sighed and looked back down at Kai. His breathing was laboured and steam rose from his lips from the cold against the warm of his breath. Tyson brushed a few stray strands of Kai's slate hair out of his eyes. "But what about Kai? I can't just leave him here."

Dranzer placed a calm hand on Tyson's shoulder. "Do not worry yourself. I will look after my master." Tyson smiled back at Dranzer. She then looked to Dragoon. "Please be careful, my love." She then stood on her tip toes and planted a soft kiss on Dragoon's lips.

He responded and kissed back, running a large hand through her light blonde hair. He pulled away gently. "Don't worry yourself over me. If I am need of your help, please assist me." Dranzer nodded and watched as Dragoon ran towards Tarvos Trigaranus, rage and fury in his eyes.

Dranzer then bent down over her master and placed her hands on his wounds. "Hopefully I can heal him without there being too many scars." Dranzer then smiled warmly up at Tyson. Her voice, it was so heavenly. It was like listening to an angel sing. "Do not worry about my master, go and help Dragoon." Tyson nodded and stood up, taking one last glance down at Kai and running after Dragoon. Dranzer slanted her eyebrows and ran a hand across Kai's cheek. 'Good luck.'

Woah! You never expect that to happen, do you? Let's hope Dragoon and Tyson can do something about this before Tarvos Trigaranus and Shikari gain more power or something!
Thanks for reading and please review!
