Tala: Who it be? Who it be? Who it be?
Aacura: Find out now! Find out now! Find out now!
Tala: YEY!!
Tyson: Aacura does not own Beyblade
Aacura: Awww…
(Normal POV)
"Tyson?! Max?!" Ray let out in disbelief. Tyson swung his navy cloak from his shoulders, as did Max with his green one.
"Like, OMG!! What were you two DOING to create a fire like that?!" Tyson was bouncing up and down as though nothing were out of the ordinary.
"T-t-Tyson?! You just shot freakin' water out of no where!!" Totally freaked out, Ray stuttered. Kai pulled him protectively by his waist. Tyson noticed their fear and his smile dropped. "Y'mean that you guys didn't know?"
"Know what?!" Kai demanded.
"Oh… Right… Max, you're better at explaining this sort of thing." He scratched his head.
"I did it ONE time, Tyson. Gods that wasn't pretty." Max stepped in front of Kai and Ray. "Perhaps it would be better if we talked about this in private, and somewhere more comfortable." He smiled gently. The scared teens nodded in agreement. This was Max, right? He wouldn't hurt them… right?
The four entered Max and Ray's dorm. Kai and Ray sat on Max's bed; Tyson and Max sat on the opposite one.
"First off, "Max began, "We're not gonna hurt you guys. You are our friends."
"Well, except you Kai. I still think you're a total prick and everything." Kai shrugged his shoulders, knowing Tyson had a fair point.
"Second, we knew you guys made up because of that fire starting. And pretty well from the size of the flames!" Tyson giggled at this.
"So what the hell is going on?" Kai was cold.
"Damn Kai, I thought you controlled fire not ice." Kai rose an eyebrow to say, 'What-The-Fuck-Are-You-On-About?! Max began the ancient story,
"A long time ago, once Mother Nature had completed her work on the Earth, a great evil, y'know, typical, dramatic, bad dude who wants to take over the world yada, yada, waited until her day of completion to rule over it.
Preparing for the seemingly endless War about to approach, she created the Aacura Stones to protect the Earth from that evil. She knew individually, the stones' powers weren't very strong, compared to what they would be like if formed together. Together, they balanced out good and evil, but this whacko wanted, and still wants, to overthrow the balance and replace it with pain and evil. In order to do this, he needs the stones and their powers.
She entrusted ten faithful families to protect an individual stone, hoping one day, they would all be brought back together again and finally stop the evil, restoring the balance. Now… each bearer of the power-"
"Hold on! I thought you said this power 'power' was in stones!" Kai got confused.
"You see, the stones were absorbed by one member of each family. The chosen descendant of that family would then too possess the power. Ten in total." Tyson counted off the list on his fingers,
"There is water, me!" he smiled proudly, "Camouflage and shield, which is Max, and you two are also from families that bare the stones." Max took over again,
"The emotion and concentration on each person with one of these powers determines its strength. Kai, you possess the power of fire, and Ray, you have the power of air. Fuelling Kai's gift, we knew you guys made up. Just try not to burn down the Uni this time please!"
"Wait…" Kai was still hesitant, "How could I do that? This doesn't make sense! How can I control fire? There's not that much proof!"
"Kai, "Max caught his cousin's attention, "Look at you arm." In doing so, Kai examined his smooth skin. The burns had gone!
"But… how?!"
"You decide what burns and what doesn't. Your arm healed itself because you didn't want your arm to have any burns anymore."
"Sleep on it. I mean, we know what you're going through. Though we heard it off our parents. Heh, heh!"
Tyson and Max made way to exit the room, leaving their fragile friends to sink in what they had been told and had experienced.
"Good night!"

"You think they'll come 'round?" Tyson voiced his worry. Max laced his fingers with Tyson's.
"I know they will. Surely their reactions won't be as bad as Bryan's!" Tyson laughed.
(Flashback – Normal POV)
"You guys are WEIRD!! What the fuck are you on about?! Ancient powers my ass!!"
"Gods, Bryan! We're not lying!" Tyson got frustrated, kicking the gun from Bryan's shaking hand, he picked it up and aimed it at the lilac haired boy.
"Shit! First you have some crazy story that I'm Indestructible, and now you're gonna shoot me?!"
"Exactly. Just to prove my point!"
"No Tyson!!" Max cried, but to no avail, Tyson already pulled the trigger. Bryan lay flat on his back, bullet square in his forehead. Max hit him across the head, "Nice move genius!" he sighed sarcastically. He bent over Bryan's still form. "Do you believe us now?" Bryan wiped away the lead that failed to kill him. Looking in a large broken mirror to his left, he saw the wound heal before his very eyes. He looked at Max, and nodded.
(Normal POV)
"You didn't have to shoot him y'know!"
"Hey, it got our point across didn't it?"
Talk of the devil, Bryan emerged from the shadows besides the door of the block Max and Tyson exited from.
"Do they know?"
"Give them time." Max said gently,
"You didn't throw a match at him did you?" though it was sarcasm, Bryan still raised an eyebrow at Tyson. Said blue haired teen stuck his tongue out at him. Bryan smirked,
"Well isn't that attractive!" The three walked away together. Tomorrow was gonna be interesting…
Tyson: Well, what d'ya know!
Ray: Scare me like that again, and I'll blow you off a cliff!!
Tyson: Meep!!
Kai: Please R&R!!
