So I wanted to get this chapter out last week but it was being difficult and to me it still feels rushed. I'm saying sorry now because this is definitely not one of my better chapters. It doesn't have action in it but it has some important information that you're going to need to know for the next chapters. So bear with me and I promise after this chapter it will get better because after this everything comes together.
~Antarctica~
Max sighed deeply as he waited with everyone else in the large cafeteria. He stood up and waved as Hilary, Tala, Daichi, the gatekeeper and Hideki walked into the room.
"Guys over here!" he called out. Hilary and the gatekeeper ran over happily.
"Max, Ling," Hilary said approaching the two and the gatekeeper gather.
"Where's Kai?" Tala asked.
"He's fighting Doctor K and her bit beast and Yūji ran back out after handing his parents to a medical doctor. I haven't seen them since then," he explained.
"Where's Carter and the Chief," Ling asked.
"They stayed behind to get everything running again and to call for help," Hideki explained. The doors opened loudly and everyone looked up to see doctor K being led into the room by Kai who was now defused with Yūji behind his heels.
"Yūji," Ling yelled and ran up them.
"What is going on here?" Dr. Graber said coming over to the group.
"Ah doctor how are you this fine evening?" Hideki asked as the woman approached.
"The better question is what are you doing with doctor Kawano?"
"Her name isn't doctor Kawano it's just doctor K," Kai said. "And she's the reason all this happened. She was going to destroy the base and steal the rock." He said handing the rock over to Graber. Before she could take a hold of it the gatekeeper grabbed it.
"Let me see that," she said. She looked at it deeply. "Yes this is where Doriton came from," the gatekeeper said and handed it to doctor Graber.
"How can you tell," the woman asked and the gate keeper laughed awkwardly.
"Lucky guess?"
"Doctor K is the one who brought Doriton into our world and started this whole thing," Kai said getting the doctors interest of the girl.
"Is this true?" Doctor Graber questioned looking at the black haired woman.
"What if it is? I'm a geniuses and I did the impossible." The woman said.
"Doctor K you are under arrest for treason, mass murder and the illegal summoning of a bit beast," Hideki said. He took handcuffs from his back pocket and handcuffed the doctor. She growled angrily.
"Unhand me. If anyone should be put in jail it should be you," she yelled at Hideki. "I'll make sure to tell your daddy you said hi," she laughed as a few guards led her away. Hideki frowned and walked the other way and the gatekeeper bringing her hand to her mouth in worry watched him.
"What did that mean?" Max asked. "Who's his father?"
"It doesn't matter," Kai said and looked over at Yūji.
The younger blader smiled "Well you got anything to say to me Kai," Yūji teased.
"Yeah," Kai said getting closer to Yūji brought his hand back and punched him in the face.
"Kai!" Hilary shouted.
"What are you doing?" Max yelled grabbing onto the Russians arm.
"I told you to run. Why did you come back?" he said angrily to the fallen teen. Ling bent down and pulled out a handkerchief and pressed it to Yūji's cheek.
"A thank you was what I was looking for," Yūji said with a glare. "I wasn't going to just leave you there to fight by yourself and it was a good thing to because if I hadn't of come…"
"That wasn't the point. Kami you're worse than Tyson," he said.
"I'll take that as a compliment," Yūji smiled. Kai's eyes widen and faltered on a comeback. He 'hmphed' and walked away in the direction of Hideki. He couldn't understand why the kid kept getting under his skin. No one could do what he does except for Tyson…dammit Tyson, he forgot now that they were going to have to bring doctor K back he's going to know that they weren't in Hokkaido and that he lied.
He found Hideki in the corner thanking a woman for a cup of water that she was handing out. She offered Kai one but he past her with no interest and continued to the captain. He needed something to take his mind off of everything.
"Ah Hiwatari-san," Hideki smiled when he noticed Kai. "Care for some water. The savior of the base should at least get that."
"No I'm fine…I want to know what you've been hiding from me," Kai said. Hideki frowned once again. He slowly lifted his hand and placed it on his forehead.
"Today just isn't my day is it," he laughed silently. "I know you never trusted me but then again out of everyone you and Valkov-san have good reasons to feel that way."
Kai looked at him in confusion, "Why, what does Tala and I have to do with anything?" Kai said his hands clenched in fists.
"Me nothing…my father though…"
"Who's your father?"
Hideki sighed "Boris Balkov."
~South America~
As Boris walked down the hallway he stopped and sneezed loudly. He reached into his pocket for a handkerchief but stopped as one was handed to him.
"I hope you're not getting a cold Balkov-san," Amanda said with a smile. Boris took the tissue with a glare and blew his nose. He knocked on the door that led to the man in charge.
"Ah Boris come in," Boris heard and opened the door. "I hope you have good news for me," the shadow man said. Boris nodded to Amanda to walk up to the desk. She stopped in front and pulled a blade from her pocket and placed it on the desk. A thin hand covered in scars and burns lifted up the blade and the light revealed Black Dranzer. "Good, very good, is there a seer to go with it?"
"Not yet," Boris said "But…" he added quickly, "We are already in the middle of a plan to get one of them."
"I hope this doesn't end like your last attempt," the man said.
"I am sorry about that," Amanda said with a bow "I didn't know Salan would get out of control like that."
"And what about Morgenstern?"
"She was another unforeseen accident. I just hired the man to hurt her so it would get Granger-san and Kon-san out of the base. I didn't know that it would end this way."
"That was two mistakes in one week Ms. Ishler. How do you American's put it…strike three and you're out?" he threatened the girl. She nodded and bowed slightly before walking out. Boris bowed as well and followed her. When they closed the door Boris sighed deeply.
"You know…now would be the perfect time for you to get out before it begins to get rough," Boris said.
"I don't know what you're talking about old man," Amanda smiled, "This is exactly what I wanted." She laughed and walked away with a flip of one of her pig tails leaving Boris by himself. He growled slightly and took a picture out of his pocket. It was an old and crumbled picture of him and a black haired Japanese woman holding a baby boy with purple hair. He outlined the picture of the woman with his finger and trailed down to the baby. He placed back in his pocket and walked off.
~Antarctica~
Kai held a cleaner version of the same picture of Boris, the Japanese woman and the baby.
"That's me, my mother, and…Boris," Hideki said "Before my mother took me from Russia to Japan to get away from that vicious man."
"You…you look nothing like him though," Kai said handing the picture back.
"Yes thankfully I took most of my mother's looks. I just had to take my mother's last name and dye my hair black" Hideki said twirling his hair. "After Boris took a position in Bivolt my mother tried to stop him but he thought it was the only way to support us. She took me away and I haven't seen him since."
"Is the reason why Boris is working for the Yajuu force is because of you?"
Hideki looked at him in surprised
"How do you know about Boris working for us?"
"I overheard a conversation between Rei and Tyson. Do you know why Boris is in South America?" Kai questioned.
"No…I don't." Hideki said looking away. "I don't have clearness to know about operations like that and I don't really bother to care." The two men stood in silence.
"I'm sorry that I didn't…you know…trust you," Kai said. Hideki smiled.
"It's understandable. I've been told I give off the same vibe as him. I was surprised that Tyson even tried to find me but he told me that he made a deal with Boris that he would keep me safe if he worked for him. I was kind of in and out of jail before Tyson recruited me."
"Yeah…Tyson seems to always have something up his sleeve doesn't he?"
Max walked over to the two bladers and smiled. "Hey guys Kenny just got back. He and Carter got everything running and a plane is already on its way to pick us up." Mas said looking back and forth between the two men. "Did I miss something?"
"No," Kai said looking at Hideki. The other man smiled lightly that Kai was keeping his secret and they walked back to the rest of the group.
A few hours later the rescue plane landed next to the base and some Yajuu soldiers walked out with equipment. Doctor Graber met them at the entrance.
"We got a transmission that the base was under attack," one of them said.
"You're little to late gentlemen. Everything has already been taken care off," she said and some of the guards led doctor K out of the building. The soldiers looked at them in surprised but took her to the plane.
"Got any more room for us?" Kenny asked the soldiers once he walked out in his winter coat.
"I think we can squeeze in a little bit more for our fellow soldiers," the man said "As long as I get an autograph from you guys," he added in with a laugh. Everyone laughed and about a half an hour later they all had their luggage they made their way to the plane.
"Wait," the group heard and turned around. Yūji ran towards the plane in a winter coat and a suitcase in his arms. Behind him doctor Graber was also packed and making her way to the plane.
"What's going on?" Max asked.
"We're coming with," Yūji smiled.
"What!" Hilary, Max, and Daichi yelled.
"Are you and doctor Graber going to deliver the report?" Hideki shouted over the plane's engine.
"Yeah, doctor Graber has got the reports and I'm going to assist."
"I'm confused," Hilary stated.
"After any major event someone has to brief the higher-ups. Doctor Graber is the most qualified," Hideki stated.
"And of course I'm not go anywhere without my intern," the doctor said coming up the group. "Did your parents give you the go ahead?" she asked Yūji.
"Yep, and right now they are so focused on those magnetic bands I don't even think they will noticed I'm gone," Yūji laughed.
"Yūji wait up," Yūji heard and turned around just in time for Ling to throw herself at him in a giant hug; snow flying everywhere. "I'm going to miss you so much," she said into the embrace.
"I'm only going to be gone for a few days Ling," Yūji sighed. Carter came up behind her and sighed.
"Yeah but when do any of us get to leave for a couple of days," Carter said. Yūji let go of Ling and walked up to Carter. Carter held his hand out for a shake and Yūji took it. The black haired teen let go and grabbed carter into a hug. "You be safe ok," Carter said tightening the hug.
"Yes mom," Yūji laughed and then sighed happily. He let go and followed everyone onto the plane waving goodbye to his friends.
Kai took a seat on the plane and the gatekeeper took a seat next to the brooding Russian with a smiled.
"This is going to be fun," she said. Kai rolled his eyes as Yūji came over and sat across from him.
"This is going to be fun," he said happily and Kai slapped himself on the head causing the gatekeeper to laugh and Yūji to look at the two of them in confusion.
~Japan~
Tyson and Rei sat at Tyson's desk in silence. Finally Tyson ruffled his head in frustration and yelled out.
"Why does everything come back to ruling the beyblade world," he growled.
"Well this time the beyblade world is the entire world Tyson," Rei said. "There intertwined now."
"It has to be Voltaire right? I mean last I heard he was still running Bivolt."
"Yeah but even though we've had run in's with Bivolt I haven't heard any news about Voltaire. It's almost like Bivolt is running its self."
"Well we know that's impossible…I just wish Elisa knew who it was."
Flashback
"Look we just got off the red eye flight so let's just get to the point," Tyson yawned and took a seat across from Elisa.
"Sure," she said leaning closer to the blunette. "I know what Bivolt is trying to do."
"We all know what Bivolt is trying to do," Rei stated taking a seat as well. "Take over beyblading."
"Yes but I know how they are going to do it."
"Like they always do, force people to blade for them and capture strong bit beasts," Tyson said.
"Not this time," Elisa smiled. "They have a plan this time using Black Dranzer and a seer."
Rei and Tyson looked at each other in surprise.
"And you know this how," Rei questioned.
"Serenity told me."
"Told you what?" Tyson asked glaring at the girl across from him. Elisa leaned back on her chair and sighed. "What did Serenity tell you?"
"Before she…changed one of Bivolt's lackeys came to her one day when we were blading. They took us to one of their hideouts in the city. We couldn't see their leader, he stayed in the shadows the whole time but we could tell he was sick."
"Well yeah he works for Bivolt what do you expect," Tyson said.
"Not mentally sick idiot I mean physically sick…like dying," Elisa growled. "He had this plan to permanently open a portal to Pandora and have a seer force the gatekeeper to give him immortality and have him rule the world."
"But Serenity wouldn't do it would she." Rei said softly. Elisa stared at the table; tears threatening to fall.
"No," she sniffed. "No. She told him that no matter who the seer is that Bivolt would ask they would never do that to the keeper, that there is a bond between them and the gatekeeper that can't be undone no matter what."
"They should have known that" Tyson said. "One of the reasons why a seer is picked is because no matter how bad they might get they will never break that vow to her."
"Yeah…and even though Serenity said no the thought of all that power went to her head, she still kept the oath and still wouldn't do anything to the gatekeeper but…"
"She kept it bottled up inside and turned her heart black," Tyson finished.
"Yeah…"
End Flashback
"Now Bivolt has Black Dranzer again," Rei said.
"And that stupid mind serum which means they can force us to make the gatekeeper do whatever they want," Tyson said "It's only down to me and Kira…Rei…I'm kind of scared."
Rei looked at Tyson with wide eyes. It was a rare thing to hear the blunette show any signs of weakness let alone admit to it. He put his hand on his friends shoulder and gave it a squeeze.
"Look Tyson I promise there is nothing to be afraid of. You have always gotten through everything that has been thrown at you. Being trapped on that island, going against your friends at the championships, crazy scientists…Daichi." Rei smiled at Tyson's laugh. "We will beat them. For once let us protect you ok."
Tyson nodded with a smile "Can we get something to eat first, I'm starving."
"Yeah buddy let's get something to eat." Rei laughed.
The plane landed in the airport in Tokyo and everyone shuffled off the plane. Yūji stretched and shaved his winter jacket off in the spring weather.
"It feels so nice not seeing snow again," Doctor Graber said behind him.
"It's been so long," he said happily. Doctor K was taken off the plane and she sneered at the group as they placed her in a big black van. The soldiers saluted the group and everyone but Hideki awkwardly saluted back. As doctor Graber and Yūji put their stuff in another car the group got together around the gatekeeper.
"Well it is time I go back home," she said and with a snap she changed back into her white garment.
"Wow so pretty," Hilary said in awe. The gatekeeper smiled and wrapped Hilary in a hug.
"Thank you all so much for helping find out how this all began, I would have never guessed a mortal was able to start all of this."
"We'll miss you," Max said giving the gatekeeper a hug.
"Don't worry I will always be watching…all of you," she said. "I hope everything works out but I must go now and make sure my seer has made herself comfortable," she smiled and in the blink of an eye she was gone. Everyone walked over to the car and Yūji did a double take.
"Where is Milonas-chan?" Yūji asked.
"She had some business to do," Tala said and got in the car. Kai had thanked Tala for that one because Yūji was looking directly at Kai and he didn't have an answer.
"Here Yūji-san," Hideki said taking a bag from another soldier. "This will be your official uniform. You need to where it when you accompany doctor Graber."
Yūji took it with a wide smile and everyone piled into the car.
When they walked into the lobby of the Yajuu forced their mouths dropped to the floor.
"What…what happened?" Max asked with a gasp. The large hall was a wreck with burns and electric scorches all over the walls and ceiling. Lights where out and puddles of water covered parts of the floor. Maintenance was already trying to clean it up and they spotted Sakura behind a temporary desk taking a call.
"Sakura what happened," Hilary asked when the receptionist put the phone down.
"Oh we had a little incident. I'm not really supposed to talk about it but just know that no one was badly injured.
"Tyson!" Kai said and Max's eyes widen.
"Rei?" the blond asked harshly.
"They weren't here they were in New York City for Major Morgenstern's funeral."
Max calmed down a bit and let out a deep breath.
"Thank Kami," Hilary said putting her hand over her chest.
"Are they here now?" Kenny asked and Sakura nodded.
"They are taking a lunch break across the street," she said pointing to the café.
Kai turned around and walked out without so much as a thank you and Max followed. Yūji was about to follow but Tala held him back.
"Not this time kid," Tala said sternly.
Kai entered the café and the hostess came up and welcomed him. He spotted his boyfriend and Rei and walked past her. Max apologized with a bow and followed. Tyson looked up from his coffee and smiled brightly.
"Kai you're back!" he said happily standing up and grabbing Kai tightly. Kai grabbed him around the waist pulling him in closer. Tyson realized how tightly Kai was holding on to him and arched an eyebrow. "Kai are you ok?" he asked. Kai didn't think he would miss Tyson this much. It wasn't that he was in Antarctica without him that was fine; it was having someone who was exactly like him and not being with the real thing that got to him.
"I think he missed you Tyson," Rei laughed as Max took a seat on his lap and kissed him. Kai looked up and glared at the neko with hatred.
"Well you know Rei they were in dark Antarctica. Staying there to long can make anyone miserable," Tyson said darkly. Max's eyes widen and he laughed awkwardly.
"Ha ha you knew about that," he said rubbing the back of his head.
"Well the thing is since we are the main branch we get document copies of everything that happens," Rei said.
"Oops." Max laughed along with Tyson. The blunette looked down at his watched and sighed.
"Speaking of the Antarctica incident…" Tyson started. Rei looked at his own watched.
"Oh we are going to be late if we don't start moving," Rei said. He took one last bite of his sandwich and Max stood up allowing Rei to get out of his seat. The four made their way back to the base where the group was still waiting for them except for Yūji and Dr. Graber.
"Tyson, Rei," Hilary said happily giving the two of them a big hug. The elevator dinged and opened letting Jessica and Chris with a bandaged head out.
"Hey guys," Chris said with a smile.
"What happened to you?" Kenny asked in surprise.
"I had some trouble guarding the base," Chris said.
"We leave for Ant…I mean Hokkaido… yeah we leave for Hokkaido for just a few days and we miss a battle," Daichi stumbled.
"They already know," Max said.
"You…you do?" Hilary said with a big sweat drop running down her face.
"What happened?" Hideki asked.
"It's kind of classified information, sorry," Rei said and Hideki nodded in understanding. Tala was about to press further when he was interrupted.
"Ready," the group heard behind them and they turned around. Kai's eyes widen and everyone watch Yūji walk into the lobby in his new Yajuu uniform, If anyone doubted that he looked like Tyson before their minds where quickly changed.
"Whoa mini Granger," Chris laughed. Jessica hit him in the shoulder and Chris cringed.
"Just be happy you're hurt or I would have hit you harder," Jessica threatened. Tyson put his hands on his hips and studied Yūji up and down.
"He looks nothing like me," Tyson gestured. Everyone looked back and forth between the two look a likes.
"Ty you're kidding me," Rei said. "He looks exactly like you when you were younger…just more mature."
Tyson gasp throwing his hand to his chest dramatically.
"Rei I take offence to that. I was very mature at that age," Tyson said. The group burst out laughing and Daichi fell and banged his fist on the floor from laughing to hard. Tyson's eye twitched at the red head's reaction. "I get the point monkey boy you can get up."
Daichi got up quickly. "I am not a monkey boy!" he yelled and the two began to fight back and forth.
"Do they always do this," Yūji asked.
"Unfortunately," Max and Kenny sighed at the same time.
"Sorry to interrupt your lively discussions sir but the briefing," Hideki said to Tyson as the blunette was prying Daichi from his hair.
"I'm coming," he said fixing his hair back holding his chin up. He walked up to Kai and kissed him on the lips. Kai kissed him back and looked to the side where Yūji was watching the two with interest. He pulled Tyson from the kiss suddenly having a feeling of anxiety. Tyson smiled not noticing the stare and he, Rei, Hideki and Yūji walked to the elevator. Once the doors closed Chris smiled.
"So who's up for the arcade?"
"You just got out of the hospital idiot," Jessica said.
"So…are you suddenly caring for my wellbeing?" Chris teased. Jessica's face went red and everyone looked away as Jessica beat Chris down.
The higher ups of the Yajuu base sat around a large glass table each with a pile of files in front of them. Tyson and Rei sat next to each other with Captain Yamato next to them. Yūji took a seat next to doctor Graber which happened to be right across from Tyson and the two looked at each other almost like a mirror. Hideki took a seat with some other of the higher ups and they all opened the folder.
"Ok Doctor Graber we'll start with your report and get it out of the way. I know you're probably dying to catch some sleep," Tyson said. Doctor Graber smiled and shuffled through some files. She leaned over to Yūji.
"Ok Yūji when I ask you for a file please hand it to me," she said while standing up and he nodded ready to assist. "Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. If you read the reports you know of the breach we just had at the Alpha base," doctor Graber started.
"Yes the breach was one of your own staff was it not?" A woman with a strict voice asked. Doctor Graber held her hand towards Yūji and he handed her a file. She opened it up to see a file and picture of doctor K.
"Yes unfortunately doctor K aka doctor Kawano our head researcher on Antarctic environment stability was the mole."
"And how can you have someone on your staff be a mole," A man asked. "Do you not do background checks in one of the most important facilities in the world."
"We did do a background check and doctor Kaw…doctor K had worked there even before we set up the base and her background was clean. Also…"
"How could you miss something like a background of working for Dr. Zagart, Doctor B, and Gideon," another man said.
"Umm…" Doctor Graber started and Yūji handed her another file. She flipped it open to see the names that were just mentioned and who they were.
"I'm wondering if you are even fit to run this facility anymore," the man continued. Yūji was about to stand up and shout at the man but Tyson cleared his throat. The room looked at him as he sat back on his seat playing with a pencil in his hand.
"I thought this meeting was to find out what is going on and what to do to stop it not to interrogate one of our greatest scientists. Besides I'm pretty sure it's general Kon's job to deal with hiring and firing people. Isn't that right general Kon," Tyson said.
"That is correct general Granger," the neko-jin responded back both smiling like they were sharing an inside joke.
"Anyone else care to comment or can we continue?" Tyson asked. The room was silent except for a few coughs and a little chuckle from captain Yamato as he took a sip of coffee, "Great…so as you were saying doctor."
"Yes well…I acquired the rock that doctor K had in her possession and on the plane ride here tried to decipher some of them and only got a few sentences but there was one sentence in particular that I was able to translate that seemed very important," she said and took another file Yūji handed to her. Everyone opened their own files and she read it out loud.
"The day that two worlds can become one, is on the day that sun becomes enveloped by night."
"What does that mean?" Tyson asked reading more of the file.
"Well whatever is going to happen will happen when the sun becomes…night?" Rei began to say with confidence and then slowly realized it made no sense.
"Again what does it mean," Tyson sighed. The room was silence as they read the files. Yūji was also trying to think of the answer and his eyes widen when he realized what it could be.
"Umm," he said raising his hand. Tyson looked up and snickered.
"Are you raising your hand?" he laughed.
"Oh umm well I think I know what it means," he said and everyone waited for the answer.
"And…" Tyson continued.
"Oh well maybe it's talking about a total eclipse?" he asked.
"Oh that could be it," Hideki said. "If I remember correctly I think there is one coming up soon."
"Dizzy bring up the information on when and where the next total eclipse will be," Rei said. A large TV screen behind Tyson booted up and a map of the world appeared.
"I know it's only been a few days since I gave the real Dizzy to the chief but I miss her already," Tyson said and Rei rolled his eyes.
"Ok so it looks like most of the America's are going to be covered by an eclipse next week. But it doesn't really help narrow it down much," Rei said.
Tyson's eyes widen when he look at the map. He turned around slowly.
"I can narrow it down a little further," he said in almost a whisper.
"Tyson?" Rei said.
"It's in South America,"
Suddenly Rei remembered the conversation that he had with Elisa. How she told him that Tyson had sent Boris to South America but when he asked Tyson about it all he did was deny it.
"How do you know that," someone asked.
"Oh umm," Tyson started "Well it kind of makes sense if you think about it." He said rubbing the back of his head with a laugh.
"No it doesn't," Yūji said.
"I have to agree with him there," Rei said giving Tyson a glare. He was going to fish this out of Tyson as hard as he could.
"Ok well where did Doriton show up?" Tyson asked. Yūji looked at him in confusion.
"Antarctica," he said hesitantly.
"And Rei where did the seers meet for the first time," he continued.
"Australia," Rei said.
"And the continents that all the seers are from,"
"Asia, Europe, Africa and…North America…" Rei said finally getting what Tyson was getting at.
"So all that's left is…"
"South America," Rei said in understanding.
"That can just be a coincidence," doctor Graber said.
"Yeah some coincidence," Tysons said.
"But why?" Hideki asked.
"I'm not sure but I feel it has something to do with connecting the world together," Tyson said.
"South America is still a pretty big continent," doctor Graber said.
"I guess we should start fanning out. When this meeting is done I'll get in contact with the Yajuu forces in South America and have them get started," Tyson said writing it down in a small notebook. "Ok next agenda."
An hour later the meeting let out and Tyson waved good bye and walked to his office with Rei.
"So are you really going to call the forces in South America?" Rei asked. "Because I think you know exactly where Bivolt is."
"Oh Rei not this again," Tyson said holding his head for a head ache that was coming on. Look I'm going to call South America and have them spread the word. I'll see you later. Maybe we'll go hang out with everyone for old time sake," Tyson said and he left Rei standing in the hallway.
"How are we supposed to keep you safe if you won't tell us anything," Rei said to himself. As Tyson made his way to his office his personal secretary handed him his mail and he entered his office. He sat at his desk and picked up the phone. A few minutes later someone picked up on the other line.
"Hey Kira its Tyson…" he started as he ripped opened an envelope. "Yeah so remember what I told you what Elisa said" Tyson said skimming the letter and tossing it "…yeah…well" he picked up another piece of mail which was a thin package. He slid it opened "I think it's going to start soon…" He pulled out a white sheet and he started at it with wide eyes. "Kira…I'll call you back."
Tyson placed the phone down slowly while still staring at the sheet. He could hear Kira call his name on the phone but he placed it back on the receiver ending the connection. Tyson coved his mouth with his hand as tears began to fall from his eyes. He crumpled the paper and tossed it into the trash can.
"Kai."
The music of the club pumped loudly, people swayed back and forth pushing up against each other; glitter, make up and sweat mixing together. Hilary in a short red dress and Tala in a tight shirt grinded into each other alongside Max who had his arms looped around Rei's neck. At the bar on the side of the club Tyson sat in a dark blue top that had slits cut down the sleeves. He shot down another lemon drop and sighed. Kai sat down next to him in just a plain black t-shirt. He ordered himself a beer and looked at Tyson.
"Another one," Tyson said and the bartender poured another shot for the blunette. Kai watched him and hmphed.
"What is it now," Tyson said in annoyance.
"Tyson you know this really isn't my scene," Kai said. Tyson didn't look at his boyfriend but glared at the wall behind the bar.
"So why don't you go somewhere else," Tyson said talking another gulp of his shot glass. "I'm sure Yūji is free." Tyson said with venom in his voice.
Kai looked at Tyson in confusion.
"What are you talking about?" Kai asked. Tyson didn't answer him and just held his hand up for the bartender to come back. Kai didn't know what changed from when he saw Tyson that afternoon till now but he wasn't going to deal with the blader's mood swings. He was tired and out of his element especially with everyone knocking into him.
"Fine then," Kai hissed with anger and got up from the bar. He tossed a few yen onto the counter just as the bartender placed his beer in front of him and walked away. Max and Rei made their way over passing their ex-captain.
"Hey Kai," Max said out of breath. Kai ignored him and walked out of the club.
"What's up his butt?" Max asked.
"When is something not up his butt Max," Rei shouted over the music and the two laughed. They took a seat next to Tyson and ordered drinks. Max looked over at Tyson with a smile but stop short as he watched tears fall from his face.
"Tyson?" Max asked placing his hand on Tyson's back. Tyson sniffed and straighten himself up, wiping away his tears.
"Oh sorry," he said and got up paying for his drinks. "I'm fine I'm just going to head home." and Max watched as Tyson left the bar in worry.
Tyson stumbled into his apartment and closed the door behind him. He walked over to his kitchen and raided the fridge for a bottle of water; he was so going to regret drinking so much at the bar. He sat on his couch and looked up at the ceiling listening the sounds of cars and people chatting in the city below his building.
He was suddenly hit with this feeling of claustrophobia. He never had this feeling before, of his heart breaking and he just knew he had to get out of here, out of the city, out of the country. He picked up his phone and dialed.
"Hey dad, I was wondering if you needed any help on your excavation."
Back at Tyson's office the lights were off and the room was silent. The door opened and the janitor came in with music blasting from his ear buds. He hummed along and lifted the small trash can dumping it in his own large bag. He didn't notice a few of the papers missing the bag and walked out of the room. One of the papers was the one Tyson was looking at before. It had flipped over revealing a large black and white picture, a security camera picture of Kai and Yūji sitting together on an alcove holding each other tightly and kissing.
Yeah sorry about Tyson's OOC. I always try to model my characters after their TV/manga counterparts but when Tyson never sad it makes it difficult to write it. I had to keep watching the episode when everyone left him in the third season *poor Tyson*
So now the balls really going to start rolling so get ready for beybattles, conspiracies, tragedies and hopefully epicness.
Review kindly onegai.
