RTC: I can't believe it! This is the last chapter! (Sobs) I'm so happy and yet I feel like crying because it's over! Basically this is just a conclusion to all that's happened and what happens to the characters!
Kai: Finally over! I thought she'd have killed me by now.
Kari: Yeah, I think we all thought that.
RTC: Hey! Anyway, I have just a few things I want to say, the first being thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way! I would have never finished this fic without you! Secondly, the fic I was planning will have to wait about a month until I can post it due to being too busy. If you'd like to read it when it eventually comes out, tell me and I'll send you a pm when I've posted it. On a related note, if you'd like to keep in touch (I know I'd like to hear from my awesome reviewers again!) just pm me! Or we can swap emails, if you'd like! And I finally hit 200 reviews with this fic, right when it's almost over! Wow! (I'm really sorry, Fia, for waiting so long to reply to your reviews, just thought I'd put it here that I appreciated them!) Just one more thing, for those of you celebrating a holiday; I wish you a happy (insert name of holiday here)! (I don't want to miss any holidays, so this way, I think I'm covered!) So, disclaimer please!
Tyson: Nope, us muses voted and we say that it's your turn to the disclaimer! It is your fic after all!
RTC: Okay, I, Ray-Tiger-Cat do no own Beyblade! (Proceeds to cry some more)

An End Or A New Beginning?
"The party is guilty, and therefore should be given a life sentence without the possibility of parole for 30 years," the juror concluded. You could see the G-Revolution, Diana and their supporters breathe sighs of relief. Even if he had a chance at getting out, it wouldn't come for 30 years, by which point Voltaire might o be living anymore. Kai was the first to stand and remind everyone that they could leave now. It was a good idea as Voltaire was shaking with rage and they did not want to be around when he blew his top. The ride home was equally silent as it was that morning as everyone was reflecting on what the evil creep had done, and how they were finally safe.
Kai's POV
The silence that was present in the car disappeared the second we got into the house. Daichi was running around screaming that we'd won, Tyson was looking for food, Lynn got worked u p, despite the fact that she hadn't understood any of it, Hilary and Ray were discussing the trial, Kari squealed in my ear and hugged me, Max was on a sugar high, Lizzie was talking to her mother about how things would finally settle down, and the Chief was-where else?-in front of Dizzi, who was making her usual sarcastic comments. I decided that I needed some peace and wandered upstairs to my room. But once I was alone, thoughts plagued my mind, such as what were we going to do now, and whether the courts would allow Kari and I to become incapacitated minors, and whether the team would split up. As much as they got under my skin, I really didn't want everyone to leave.
"Kai, hey Kai! Get up!" a voice told me. I groaned, opened one eye and glanced at my clock. Five thirty a.m. "Come on, you were the one who said you wanted to do this."
"Coming," I mumbled, dragging myself out of bed and quickly getting ready. I quietly tiptoed down the stairs and out into the backyard, where Lizzie was waiting for me. (AN: Those of you with naughty thoughts, get them out of your heads! This is not going to be a romantic moment!)
"Ready?" she asked as she pulled out her blade and launcher.
"Yeah, let's go! 3, 2, 1, let it rip!" She launched her blade quickly, and I attempted to do the same, but my bad arm gave me trouble and the attempted launch sent pain up it.
"Damn it!" I muttered, holding my practically useless arm to my body and waiting for the pain to subside.
"Come on, Kai, I thought you wanted to blade again," Lizzie said. "But if it hurts too much..." she trailed off. That's all it took, I grabbed the launcher off the ground and readied my blade.
"I will blade again!" I snapped.
"That's the spirit!"
Normal POV
"Come on Ray! Get up, or we're going to be late!" Ray groaned and stumbled out of bed, got ready and ran into the small kitchen in the tiny apartment he was currently sharing with Kai and Kari, who had both decided to stay in town, much to everyone's surprise. But then, after all that they had been through, the G-Revs were closer than ever, and Max and Ray had chosen to stay put as well. It had been just over a month since Voltaire's trial and convection, and it looked like he was in prison to stay this time. Ray had gotten the piece of toast half way to his mouth when the phone rang. Groaning, he picked it up.
"What?" he grunted, having not quite woken up yet.
"Awe, somebody's cranky! Can't a sister call up her only brother and irritate him at five in the morning?" Lizzie's voice chirped through the line.
"What are you doing up so early?"
"Just thought I'd call and chat with you, but since you guys are always training, I thought I'd call extremely early and catch you!" Lizzie, unlike her brother, had choosen to go back home with their parents. She still phoned often and she promised to come for a visit later on, but ultimately, she needed to be at home and deal with the memories from her past and move on.
"Ray! What are you doing?! We need to leave now!" Kai's voice bellowed.
"Uh, just a sec, Kai! Lizzie, I'd better go now, before Kai goes postal!" Ray hurriedly explained and hung up. Kai and his sister were waiting in the car downstairs, Kai was behind the wheel, and Kari was sitting next to him and yawning.
"What took so long? Training has to start early so that the lovebirds can go out tonight," Kari mumbled.
"They've got another date, huh?" Ray asked, referring to Tyson and Hilary. It was now common knowledge that those two were going out. "Want to help me tease them as revenge for making us get up so early?"
"Save it for later, we're late!" Kai said as he gunned it.
"How you got your driver's license is beyond me," Ray mumbled.
"3, 2, 1, let it rip!" Everyone was screaming as Kai took on Tyson. Yes, Kai had regained some movement in his left arm, just enough to hold the launcher and blade, though the movements were quite choppy.
"GO! Dranzer!"
"Get him Dragoon!" And as the two blades slammed into each other, Kai knew that he and his sister were finally safe. Just when life seemed to be over, it always started up all over again.

RTC: Now you guys know where the extremely corny title for this fic came from! So, I know it was short, and I know it wasn't one of my best works, but I hope you enjoyed anyway. I found it really hard to write the chapter because the story is over after this! That is my only excuse for the chapter being so short! Loads of hugs go out to you guys! Thanks everyone for reading!
Kai: Stop babbling and finish the fic already!
RTC: Okay, well, bye! (Gives hugs and chocolate!) Bye!
