Thanks for all the really great reviews I love reading them,
I do not own Beyblade!
"Will he be alright?"
Tyson watched as the doctor checked Brooklyns pulse, optic movements and breathing.
"Its hard to say, " the doctor dropped Brooklyns hand lightly down onto the bed next to him, "Truth be told Tyson I'm not sure he'll make it."
"Thats what they said about Max" Tyson stared down at the redheaded blader, "I didn't give up on him I'll be damned before I give up on Brooklyn."
"With Max it was different. Look Brooklyn has marks all over I think he might have been experimented on, tortured."
"Sounds like Boris' style" Tyson felt anger build up in his chest, he should have gone after Boris. If he had caught him it would all be over now.
"Why would they be experimenting on him though?" Tyson turned to see his older brother beside him "we tested Brooklyn at BEGA I should know I was there."
"It would have been different this time" Tyson sighed "Before Boris wanted to use Brooklyn he needed him in top physical condition, now he just wants to know what makes him tick. He won't give a damn about Brooklyns health, he'll just want to find out how he got to be so good and then use that information"
Suddenly Brooklyn began to convulse on the bed, the heart moniter he was hooked up to began to flatline
"We're losing him, GET A CRASH CART IN HERE NOW!" Tyson and Hiro watched helplessly as the doctors attatched paddles to Brooklyns chest and electricity coursed through his body.
"Come on buddy you can do this" Tyson balled his hands into fists as he watched.

A young brunette stood twisting at the notes in her hand, she looked very pretty her chocolate coloured hair was long and curly bouncing around her head, her eyes very ruby were wider than usual. Hilary stared around she was terrified, the boardroom of the BBA headquarters was filled with people, how the hell was she supposed to give a presentation in front of all these people.
"Nervous?" Behind her Mr Dickinson was smiling at her, why the hell is he always smiling? Hilary thought as her stomach became a tight ball of nerves
"I'll be fine" Hilary forced herself to say
"Yes, I know" Mr Dickinson noticed that the girls hand shook as she re-read her notes "You know Kai and the others, they would be very proud of you" Hilary smiled the first genuine smile of the day
"I know!" With her confidence renewed she strode into the room and walked to her podium "Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming here today, this press conference is being held so that you can ask any questions you like about the upcoming world championships!"
"Will the Blade Breakers be there?" Hilary looked over at the man a grim smile on her face
"As you have been told many times the Blade Breakers are taking a sabbatical to try out new things, they may return to beyblading but while they are deciding what to do we at the BBA wish them well!"
Hilary left the conference feeling elated, people had listened and after that first little blip about the bladebreakers question, she had been asked intelligent questions. Grinning she decided to take the rest of the day off leaving her assistant to forward only the most important phone calls to her cell.
Hilary Emily and Mariah no longer lived in Tyson's Dojo with his grandfather, Daichi and the teams were still there but the girls had moved out some months ago. Both Hilary and Emily were working for the BBA. Mariah was very much a stay at home mum and liked it that way. The three of them were living in a lovely four bedroom house, each girl had her own room and Gou shared with Lin, they did still spend most of their time at the Dojo but Hilary knew they were going to be home today.
Hilary was stood holding a couple of pizza boxes in one hand and rifling through her bag looking for her keys with the other, when she heard the door open.
"Hils I thought I heard something" Mariah was covered in paint and was holding Lin who was covered in orange and green paint "your early!"
"Yeah, I had a good day thought I would pick up some pizza on the way back" Hilary gave Mariah a questioning look "Whats with the paint Mariah?"
"Long story, pizza sounds great we haven't eaten yet"
Hilary followed Mariah into what had been that morning a tidy living room. In the middle of the floor (on a plastic mat Hilary noticed thankfully) sat Gou and Emily they were surrounded by pots of paint and paper. Gou was covered in paint of various colours as was Emily
"We're finger painting" Mariah explained feeling slightly guilty Hilary began to laugh
"Please tell me the paint isn't toxic"
"Totally eatable, washable, and harmless" Mariah said and Emily nodded vigorously. Hilary left the pizza boxes on the coffee table and went to her room, when she came out she was wearing jeans and t-shirt her hair was pulled back into a scruffy ponytail, picking up a piece of pizza she joined them on the floor. Hilary was soon as painty as the rest of them, she smiled as Gou drew purple splodges onto her face, she watched as he pulled away to admire his work
"Beybade" Gou announced to the group the girls all stared at him
"Did he just say what I think he said?" Hilary turned to the others
"Say it again" Emily moved over to him "say it Beyblade"
"BeyBade" he copied her grinning at the interest he was attracting "Beybade"
"His first word!" Hilary picked up her son and lifted him high into the air he giggled and clapped his hands "Oh brother," she sat down heavily
"What?" Mariah moved forward
"Well I was kind of hoping mum or mama would be his first word, I've been saying it to him enough, but no you decide to say Beyblade don't you" this last part was addressed to Gou who smiled innocently up at her, "This is Uncle Daichi's fault, I am gonna kill him"
"Come on, he's Kai's son he is going to be a blader, stop fighting it and just enjoy the ride." Emily grinned at her wickedly.
"I know that" Hilary sighed "Its just that sometimes I wish I had never heard of Beyblading, life would have been a little easier."
"Without beyblading you would never have met Kai?" Mariah smiled at her friend
"I know, but look where its gotten me a single mom at age twenty!"
"And a successful career woman" Mariah continued, "working for an amazing company!"
"Living with two of the best room mates a girl could ever have" Emily finished, Hilary grinned
"You mean the two girls who are covered in paint, and looking really stupid?"
"Speak for yourself, you look like you've got the weirdest case of measles" the girls laughed together,
Suddenly the doorbell rang, the girls looked at each other embarassed, the doorbell rang again. Seeing that the others weren't moving Hilary stood up and walked out into the hallway. Smiling as though she hadn't noticed the paint on her she opened the door
"Yes... JIM!" Hilary squealed as she saw the unexpected visitor, she threw her arms around his neck and hugged him "It's so good to see you, I thought you couldn't visit this month"
"Its good to see you too Hilary, I managed to get the day off" Jim pulled out of the hug and looked at her, "you know youv'e got a little something right there, and there" Jim pointed as though she had food by her mouth.
"Yeah I know!" Hilary giggled "Come on in Granddad you can be the new canvas for Gou and Lin" Hilary pulled Jim into the front room
"Hi girls" Jim smiled at Mariah and Emily sitting on the mat
"Hi Jim!" they chorused, Hilarys sort of step father had become a regular visitor recently, he had been offered a contract in Japan and had taken it on so that he could see more of his 'Grandson'
"Hey Gou, Lin" Jim joined them on the mat and laughed as the two children made their way fowards menacingly with paint covered hands.
Boris sat watching the television in front of him, he smiled as he leaned forward and rewound the footage. Ray and Tyson were in clear view, and if they were there then Kai and the others would definitely be working with them. Well then if this was the case he knew what to do!
