Brooklyn's sudden offer for a revenge match before the commencement of the exhibition matches had put a cork in everyone's mouth. No one expected that Brooklyn would still be out for revenge for his disastrous beybattle against Kai in the BEGA tournament. But kai wasn't all surprised, in fact he sounded like he was expecting this. Tyson and the rest of his teammates warned him since Brooklyn had gotten a lot stronger than he was in the past. If they thought their words of discouragement could deter Kai then they were sadly mistaken. Kai had stubbornness written all over his face and an unusual aura of confidence.
Everyone started hooting in encouragement but Mr.D knew that this would end up in a disaster again. He pleaded with both of them to withdraw but both were too stubborn for their own good!
Kai : good thing I didn't pass this chance by! All thanks to you Tyson!
Tyson (surprised) : umm. Well I guess there is always a first time for everything! No worries bro! the pleasure is mine.
Brooklyn : heh…don't go write me off that quick kai. coz my Zeus is more powerful than it has ever been.
Kai : the same goes to you. I may not be having dranzer with me. But this is more than enough to put you in your place.
Daichi : whats with all this trash talking? Cant you guys get this over with already?
Tyson : all in good time daichi! All in good time!
Ray : both must really loathe each others guts! Look at how they are staring at each other!
Max : ya totally ray! We are in for a blitzkrieg of a match, that I am sure!
Hilary to Kenny : Kenny come here! Cant you guys do something to stop these two instead of encouraging them? Both could get hurt!
Kenny didn't listen to a single word she said and continued with supporting kai in his decision.
Hilary : these boys and their explosive nature!
She gave up trying to make them understand and sat with all her girl buddies as one of the spectators.
Kai : well what do you say we give the fans what they want?
Brooklyn : I could never agree with you more!
Kai : what say we take this outside?
Brooklyn gladly agreed to his opinion and joined kai outside the BBA headquarters! Everyone joined them as well to witness the full on action including .
And with that both stood ready to launch both their beyblades for some hard core action!
Everyone : 3….2….1….LET IT RIP!(chorus)
And with that , both superpowers in beybattle launched forth their beyblades. When both beyblades made contact , it was guaranteed that there would be absolutely no end to this battle. This battle promised everyone a treat after a long time. Some of the new comer bladers who were invited by Mr.D for the exhibition match were also among the crowd! Even they were all excited seeing the battle and started showing their support equally for both Brooklyn and kai.
Brooklyn : you don't have a chance! You hear me? What would you do without your dranzer?
Kai knew right then that Brooklyn was getting under his skin. He wanted to believe that he had a chance against him but at this stage when he was supposed to keep his cool, he started doubtinh his own strengths! And that affected his performance in battle! He started making mistakes and was taking a heck of a lot of beating from Zeus.
Tyson : kai! come on dude! You can do it! Don't let his trash talk get to you!
All his teammates stood by his side and supported him in every move that he made. And he was quite thankful to all of them no matter how annoying they seemed!
Kai :"well I guess Tyson was right! I can never ignore my destiny or my friends no matter how hard I tried! I should keep moving forward and leave the past behind me. Dranzer may not be with me now but I can feel its presence through this battle. Strangely though, I may be even crazy by saying this but I think I still got a shot at this!"
Brooklyn : not given up yet? Well let me put you out of your misery! Zeus….."king of darkness"!
And with that Brooklyn just released his trump card on kai . kai was closing in for one heck of a collision course. Luckily he escaped in time to avert a major disaster. This was the attack that brutally injured him a few years ago!
Kai : that was just too close for comfort. Looks like he is really into it!
Brooklyn : had enough yet? Good for you that you have opted out of beyblading for good kai! just go and take a nice long rest. You don't deserve to be a beyblader with that pathetic defense!
Tyson : why that little! How dare he downgrade kai?
Kenny : as much as that infuriates you Tyson , it is the truth after all. Look!
And he showed Tyson and his team how all odds were against kai in this battle! Without dranzer Brooklyn was gonna cash in on his victory before kai could say " I am toast"!
Brooklyn :" he has his defense wide open! How stupid can one get! He himself is saying " pulverise me" with that tactic! Well I could actually use an easy win! Cant believe he was the one who defeated me. How humiliating! I am sorry kai but your so called beyblading spirit is at its limits! At the end of the day its raw talent and power that triumphs.
Brooklyn : well kai! its been a pleasure battling you! See ya around! (waving a hand at kai)
After seeing him wave goodbye at him , kai was even more infuriated. He was angry. Very angry at the fact that he could not do anything about his weakness!
Kai :"damn it! Why cant I do anything? Have I become that weak. No, I refuse to accept defeat. I refuse to give this battle up even if its an exhibition match. I just wish I had dranzer with me!..no..no..dranzer is my bitbeast. It derives strength from me not the other way around! I must stay strong! For dranzer, for my friends and for myself! Here I come Brooklyn, to show you what I have got! Better brace yourself coz its gonna be a bumpy ride!
With no longer than a minute to spare, that thought and self motivation brought something out of kai that seemed totally inhuman. He was suddenly surrounded by flames! Raging flames that didn't cease but instead were fuelled by kai's anger!
Tyson : chief ! look at that! Where did all this fire come from? We have to save kai!
When everyone approached the fire, they saw that kai was standing majestically without a single bruise! He seemed like he could tackle any obstacle that came his way!
Ray : Tyson , I think its….
Tyson : its dranzer! Dranzer is back! But how..?
Kai suddenly was overcome with tremendous amount of energy and came to realise that dranzer hadn't gone anywhere but was residing inside him safe and sound until the moment came for it to reveal itself!
Kai (seeing dranzer's majestic form ): good to have you back buddy! Now lets make some serious damage!
Dranzer seemed to read kai's mind and making its moves! Kai wasn't ordering anything and was standing still!
Kai : this is it Brooklyn! You mocked my beyblading spirit and now I am gonna make you eat your words! Dranzer …."spiral flame inferno"!
With that the battle was sealed, kai became the undisputed winner of the battle! Everyone swarmed him and was giving him hi-5s!
Brooklyn : hmmm. Well I guess I shouldn't have questioned your spirit! Its far far stronger than the power of my Zeus.
Kai : hmmm. Well you gave a run for my money! And I am surprised to see many changes in you!
Brooklyn : any chance I could ask for a rematch?
Kai : hmm. lets just say that I wouldn't be touching my beyblade for a while!
Brooklyn : I would be looking forward for tie-ups with you and your company in the near future!
Kai : in that case….i cant wait!
Brooklyn : see ya man! Be good!
Kai : you too! (smiling)
Kai :" thanks to you Brooklyn that I rediscovered my strength. And dranzer! I cant believe I am holding you in my arms …you and I have a lot of catching up to do"
Hilary : (coming near kai) ummm….are you ok? Kai?
Kai : (smiling) ya…never felt better!
Everyone including the new comer bladers congratulated kai on his victory. With no more than a second to spare all fangirls swarmed around him.
Kai : oh boy! Here we go again! There is no escaping these lunatics!
Daichi : just look at him! I don't get why the girls are paying attention to him! What has he got that I aint got?
Max (tapping daichi's shoulders) hmmm. That would be everything!
Later next morning…kai was sitting and enjoying the breeze outside tyson's dojo!
Hilary : hi there! Can I sit beside you?
Kai : hn. And you would listen if I say "no"?
Hilary : I asked for a reply not a question in return.
Kai : its not like I have a choice! Right(a mindblowing smirk)
Hilary felt her heart skipping a beat and her stomach doing somersault after seeing him smirking at her! at the same time she felt annoyed at his response!
Hilary : typical kai! there is simply no stopping you!
Kai : I know!
Hilary : you are not gonna quit beyblading are you ?
Kai : I knew this was coming!
Hilary : oh for god's sake just say yes or no! would it kill you to give a normal reply?
Kai : ok…ok…don't have to yell. I wont! Happy!
With that reply Hilary was on cloud nine and just pounced on him and gave him a quick and tight hug without even knowing the awkwardness of the situation! Kai was equally surprised by her move. Hilary felt her face getting redder and hotter and her heartbeat increasing tenfold! Hilary felt her world spinning because that was the first time she has seen kai that close! She felt her knees getting weak with getting entranced in his crimson eyes. Out of great effort and difficulty she overcame the spell Kai had on her and released her hold on him.
Hilary : I am sorry about that! Its just that! Wel…
Kai : never mind! Its ok..
That evening kai was supposed to board his flight home. He had enquired William if things are going smoothly over there in his absence and it would appear as though they are going smoothly as per William. Tyson and the others had agreed to send him off at the airport despite Kai's repeated denials. At the airport….
Tyson : well….i guess its good bye huh?
Kai : hn…look at you getting all senti like a girl!
Tyson : who me? Like a girl? Atleast I am not as bad as Kenny is. Do you remember when he screamed like a girl when senotaph attacked him in England?
Kai : how could I forget? That was when the bladebreakers were formed!
Tyson : anyways man! You made it here despite your busy schedule!
Kai : and you never gave up on me despite my kicking your butt out of my bed!
Tyson : what ?...oh that was why I had a pain in my butt that day!
Everyone laughed after hearing the story when Tyson wouldn't wake up even after getting kicked.
Ray : well dude! I guess its time! You better get going!
Max : ya kai! take care and keep dranzer safe! I know how you would be feeling now that its back with you safe and sound!
Kai : hmm. ya . now nothing could ever possible go wrong!
Tyson : oh and one more thing dude! You owe me a beybattle the next time we meet! The battle you had with Brooklyn really had me all psyched up!
Kai : I cant wait for that day!
Then kai turned towards Hilary ….
Kai : well I guess I am going then!
Hilary : well…umm. You will come back right?
Without answering her question kai just smiled one of his rarest of the rare radiant smile on her and she felt her blood rushing to her face and pounding on her eardrums. He just turned around and moved away from his friends while they all waved him goodbye. Soon he was out of their sight! And Hilary felt an overwhelming empty feeling in her heart after he left! Yesterday she was like the happiest person on earth, having seen kai again but now seeing him getting separated again makes her feel alone!
Kenny : I know you have feelings for him. Why haven't you told him yet?
Hilary : well, lets just say that I prefer to safeguard the friendship I have for him. And I don't intend on spoiling it. Besides Kenny, I know that he doesn't have the same feelings as I do. I am way out of his league! So rather than getting hurt its better to let those feelings go!
Kenny : glad to know you are handling it maturely Hilary!
Daichi : I am hungry. Tyson lets go find some good restaurant!
Tyson : I am with you 100% monkey boy!
Ray and max: here we go again!
And they were off…for more challenges and for more twists that await them in their lives ahead!
