Mint: Hey! I'm back with another chapter of The Prince and the Gods!
Tyson: Mint doesn't own us or Beyblade!
Mint: (o.O) Wait! I haven't even given the word yet!
Max: This story will include yaoi (boy x boy), language, violence, and awesomeness!
Mint: Hold on! Why is everyone going so fast?!
Kai: They want to get the story started. (Taps foot impatiently)
Ray: Yeah. Better hurry up. For their sake. (Fidgets impatiently)
Mint: . . . OH MY GOD! THEY'RE EXCITED FOR THE CHAPTER! THE APOCOLYPSE IS COMING! (Screams and runs away)
Bladebreakers: . . . Well thank the reviewers!
Tyson:
sain-kookie: Mint, sadly, will never not finish a story. (Gets a glare from Mint) I mean, that's great! (Laughs nervously) I agree! I want some Kai and me time!
Kai:
RobbXmonXlover: Mint says . . . Hold on. (Reads over sticky note Mint gave) "Thanks for loving my stories, and thanks for always reviewing. (Hugs)" . . . I'm not hugging anyone.
Max:
Tragic Panda101: Thanks for reading the story! Actually, despite what the others say, I don't think Mint's stories are THAT bad . . . Sorta. Kinda. They could be better . . . And hurt us less. (Gulps when a camera and microphone appears) I mean, they're great!
Ray:
Lady Kirei: I'm sure if Mint was here she would say something like, "YES! WE'LL RULE THE WORLD WITH THE PURPLE MONKEY MINIONS!" . . . What the hell? She is so weird. (Grins sheepishly at the ten ton weight hanging above) B-but that's what the others would say! I think she's great! She also left a note saying, "Oh, I will DEFINITELY give them a cool ability like that. As for Tyson, if you are a Ty fan like me, you'll enjoy what I have in store!" . . . Ty fan? What am I, chop liver? (Sulks)
Mint's cat: HIYA! Let's do it!
The Prince and the Gods

In the Last Chapter
A sudden blast of wind burst forth from the bluenette's body, causing Dunga to cry out in pain and fall. Tyson leaned over the taller boy on the ground and grinned. "Did you learn your lesson?" Dunga nodded furiously. "Good." Tyson closed his eyes and stumbled back. Before he could hit the ground a pair of strong arms caught him. "Wha?" He looked up to see the one Voltaire had called Kai. He smiled. "It's nice to meet you, Kai . . ." The dual haired teen smiled softly, and Tyson felt safe. He closed his eyes slowly and drifted off to sleep.
Oh yeah, this was definitely going to be an interesting year at Fate's Battalion School for the Gifted.
Chapter 2: So, What do you Think?
Dream
A man with long navy blue hair hurried down an open corridor of the castle. Where he was going, no one knew, but it must've been somewhere important, considering the worried and determined expression he carried. He stopped in front of an enormous door and slowly pushed it open. He peered inside cautiously and entered, closing the door behind him. The room itself was huge, but none could tell on the inside because it was dimly lit. The man cleared his throat and called, "My Gods!" Movement could be heard.
"Hello again young prince Takao. You are earlier than expected," a voice echoed. The man, Takao Kinomiya, saw a pair of glowing blue eyes.
"Yes, my God. I'm sorry if I disturbed you."
A deep voice chuckled. "You could never disturb us. Although, I can't say the same for your eating habits . . ."
Takao coughed lightly and blushed. "Anyway, the reason I came sooner than planned is because the darkness is growing faster than we expected! What should have taken two months has happened in only a week!"
"Calm down!" another voice boomed. "We're well aware of what's been happening."
"Except that one," a new voice said and laughed.
"Hey!" the first voice said defensively.
"What you need to do, Takao, is prepare for war. The darkness is especially strong this time. I don't need to say what's at stake."
"I understand." The bluenette grinned. "I won't disappoint you, Draciel, Driger, Dranzer, and Dragoon. This time, I'll seal it off for good . . ."
End Dream
Tyson groaned as he finally came to. He slowly sat up and took in his surroundings. "W-where am I?"
"Tyson!"
Suddenly, he was being squeezed. "Huh? Max?" He looked the blond in the eyes. "What happened? I remember that Dunga guy walking towards me, then nothing."
"What?! You mean, you don't remember what happened?" Max looked shocked.
"No. I-I don't . . ."
"I'll tell you what happened," a dual haired teen said as he walked in.
"Oh! You remember Kai, right Ty? He's been keeping an eye on you for the past few days," Max announced happily.
"What?! I've been out for a few days?!" Tyson cried.
Kai put his hand on the younger boy's shoulder to calm him. "You used a lot of energy when you defeated that idiot Dunga. I'm surprised you weren't out for weeks."
Tyson nodded slowly. "I see . . ."
"Where'd you get that power from, Ty?" the blond asked curiously.
"Actually, I don't know." The bluenette wasn't lying, but he wasn't telling the exact truth, either. He blinked. "Where am I, anyway?"
"This," Kai began, "is the infirmary. I brought you here after you passed out."
Tyson blushed. He looked down to hide the red on his face. Why am I blushing?! "Um . . . ah! What about school?!"
"Don't worry! School officially starts tomorrow," Max informed him.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" a boy with raven hair asked as he approached them.
"Oh, hey Ray!" Max greeted the older boy.
"Hey, Max."
"I'm doing great!" Tyson said and jumped out of the bed, only to fall back down.
"Whoa, careful!" Ray warned.
"Ugh . . ." the bluenette groaned and shook his head gently. "I'm alright!" He stood once more and began to fall again. Strong arms caught him. He looked up into the crimson eyes of his savior and blushed deeply. What's wrong with me?! He stood once again, succeeded, and grinned apologetically. "Heh . . . Thanks."
Kai nodded. "Sure."
"Ty, do you think you're well enough to check out your new home?" Max asked and grinned.
"You bet! Where should we start?" Tyson paused and looked thoughtful. "Besides the infirmary." His stomach growled, and they laughed.
"I know the perfect place to start!"
Tyson smiled, but then frowned, his eyes widening. "Bathroom first!"
Ray grimaced slightly. "Right. You've been asleep for awhile."
The bluenette barely heard him, for he was already out the door. "Where is it?!" they heard him shout urgently.
"Let's go help him," Max said worriedly and they chased after their teammate.
***
"Awesome!" Tyson exclaimed when they entered the dining hall. The room was as big as the grand hall, which was huge. "And look at all the food!" He eyed the tables of food lovingly. "Let's go!" He was about to dash off towards the delicious looking food, but Ray stopped him.
"Hold on a moment, Tyson. You should know something first."
"What is it?" the bluenette asked rather impatiently.
"See that empty table there?" The raven haired teen pointed towards the only deserted table. It looked . . . nicer than the others. "That is our, the Soulbreakers, table."
"Whoa! You mean, we get our own table?!"
"Every team gets their own table," Kai said and nodded towards the other tables, which were packed.
Tyson frowned. "Oh, I get it." What's with Voltaire, anyway? Why do the Soulbreakers get special treatment . . . He suddenly remembered his hunger. "Let's go!" He was gone before they could blink.
Max laughed. "That's Tyson!" He gasped when he noticed the food disappearing quickly. "Wait! Leave some for me too!" He rushed after his friend, who already had a tray filled with food.
"So, what do you think?" Ray asked as he and Kai remained at the entrance.
"They're like us. I still don't trust my grandfather- or like him, for that matter- but I think he may be right about this one . . . About the four of us and about Tyson." The dual haired teen hesitated. "Did you feel it too? The restlessness, I mean."
Ray nodded carefully. "Yeah, I did."
"Hey, you guys better hurry up, or Ty will eat all the food!" Max yelled from across the room and started laughing.
"I heard that!" The bluenette was already going back for seconds.
Kai smirked. "Shall we?"
Ray chuckled. "Yeah."
***
"By the way, what year are you two?" Tyson asked curiously as they made their way to their next destination.
"We're both second years," Ray answered for Kai and himself.
"Wow! How many years do you stay at this school, anyway?"
"Six years. That means we have four years, while you guys have five," Kai said.
"And this is the garden!" Max pointed out as they continued their tour outside. "It's for the really stressed students or those who just want to relax."
Tyson ran to the middle of the garden and stood on a bench. "The wind feels so nice!" He felt the nice breeze as it seemed to flow through him. Kai watched him with interest. His soft smile was soon replaced by a frown.
The wind looks like it's circling him. He smirked. Child of the wind.
"Hey, air boy! We got a bone to pick with you!" an angry voice yelled. It was Dunga of the Saint Shields! He sent a blast of fire towards the bluenette, and it smacked against him. He cried out and fell.
Kai could feel the rage begin to build. He had Dunga on the ground in a matter of seconds. "How dare you attack one of my teammates like that!" His voice dripped with venom.
"Tyson!" Max cried as he and Ray hurried to the fallen boy.
"Un . . ." Tyson moaned as they helped him up.
Ray checked the bluenette's body and frowned deeply. "You have a burn on your arm. Max!" He looked at the blond boy. "Take him to the infirmary. It needs to be taken care of immediately!" Max nodded seriously and placed an arm around Tyson's shoulders to help him walk.
Tyson winced as they walked. He opened an eye and looked at his best friend. "Thanks, Maxie."
"No problem," Max responded. They disappeared into the castle.
"You're going to pay dearly for that, Dunga!" Kai shouted. Ray joined his friend and glared down at the tall teen on the ground. "You attacked a student, unprovoked, and injured him. I'll personally see to it that you end up in the dungeons for at least a month!"
To their surprise Dunga started laughing. "Ha ha ha! The great, cold Hiwatari is defending a poor little freshman! That's rich!" He became serious. "You saw what that punk did to me yesterday! As fellow second years, you should be backing me up!"
"Our team comes first!" Ray said angrily.
Kai smirked. "Besides, you mean shit to us."
Dunga turned red. "WHAT?!"
"What is going on here?!" Professor Amethyst screamed as she hurried into the garden. "Ah, Kai and Ray! Some of my favorite students! And you." She glared at Dunga. "What have you done this time?"
"Ma'am, I would like permission to throw him in the dungeon for a month," Kai said smugly.
Amethyst kept her eyes on Dunga. "And the charges?"
"Yes, ma'am. He attacked a student unprovoked," Ray answered.
"And the student?"
"Tyson Granger of the Soulbreakers team. He is currently being escorted to the infirmary by Max Tate, another member of the Soulbreakers."
"I see . . . You have my permission, boys. Proceed."
Dunga looked angered and . . . frightened? "B-but that's unfair!"
"What you did was unfair!" Ray snapped. He grabbed Dunga's left arm while Kai grabbed his right. They hauled him into the school and down the stairs into the deepest and lowest section of the castle.
"Here, your new home for a month." The dual haired boy smirked and shoved him into one of the small cells. Now he can't harm Tyson anymore . . . Fuck. He chuckled. When did this start? Before, I never cared about anyone. I think I'm I starting to . . . Kai shook his head. "Let's go check up on Tyson."
Ray nodded. "Right."
***
"There you go, son! That should do it!" Flores exclaimed happily as she finished wrapping the burn on Tyson's arm. "Now remember, don't play with fire!"
Tyson sighed in frustration. "Listen to what I'm saying! I did NOT play with fire! Another student attacked me!"
"You can go!" She was totally ignoring him!
"R-right . . . We'll just go now . . ." Max said and grabbed his friend. The bluenette struggled to stay, but gave up and left in the end.
"Maxie! Why'd you pull me away? I was gonna give her a piece of my mind!" Tyson yelled, frustrated. He turned to go back into the room, but Max held him still.
"Come on, Ty! Just forget it! Let's go back to the house and see if Ray and Kai are there."
The bluenette looked at his friend, puzzled. "House?"
"Oh, yeah! I forgot to tell you! Each team gets a house where they live and sleep." The blond snickered. "We're lucky. We get a HUGE house all to ourselves. There's, like, four master bedrooms, four bathrooms, two enormous living rooms, and a really- and I mean REALLY- big kitchen. You'd think we were living in a mansion or something!"
Tyson grinned. "We get the whole house all to ourselves?"
"Yep!"
"Woo hoo! Come on!" The bluenette immediately forgot about his troubles with Flores as he dragged Max down the stairs. Once outside the castle, he stopped. "Wait! I don't even know where I'm going!"
Max sweat dropped. "What?! But you were heading the right way!"
"Really?" Tyson grinned sheepishly. "Well, I have no idea where to go, so you lead!"
Max sighed. "Okay! Let's go!"
***
"Are you sure this is the right way?" Tyson asked as his best friend led him onto yet another path. He was surprised they hadn't walked right off the island already!
"Uh . . . Yup! I'm sure it was this way!" The blond laughed nervously. "At least I hope it is."
The bluenette looked at him incredulously. "You hope? You HOPE?! Aww man! We're lost!" He winced when he hit his injured arm against a tree. "Ow!"
"Ty, be more careful!"
"Hey, I think I hear voices over there," they heard someone say nearby.
"Hey, that sounded like Ray!" Max exclaimed. "Ray! Ray! We're over here!"
The two older members of the Soulbreakers appeared from behind a tree. "Max, Tyson, there you are! What are you doing out here?" Ray asked and sighed in relief.
"Uh . . . Getting lost?" Tyson grinned and laughed lightly. Max joined him, and the older boys sweat dropped.
"Come on. The house is this way," Kai said and beckoned them to follow.
"So, what happened to that Dunga guy?" Max asked as they were walking.
Kai smirked. "I threw him into the dungeons for a month."
Tyson's eyes widened. "No way! You mean, this school has a dungeon?!"
"Of course. This school used to be a castle that was owned by a very powerful and just king. They say he was personal friends to the four Gods of legend," Ray explained.
Tyson froze. Wait! Four Gods? A king? My dream! He recalled the dream he had before waking up.
"We're here," Kai announced as they stopped in front of a house. It was well decorated with blue, red, yellow, and green.
"What's with the color scheme?" the bluenette asked.
"It's supposed to represent the four Gods. It's also the schools colors." Ray shook his head. "Not the best color combination, huh?"
"Let's go inside! I want to check it out!" Tyson didn't wait for the others. He raced into the house and looked around in fascination. "This is so cool!"
"Isn't it?" Max agreed as he stood next to his friend.
"I'll show you to your room," the dual haired teen said suddenly.
"Huh?" Max looked at Kai. "Oh!" He grinned. "Go ahead."
Tyson eyed the blond suspiciously before being led away by the older boy.
"This is your room," Kai said as they entered a blue and white room.
Tyson snickered. "Even the inside sticks to the color conduct. What, are the other rooms red, yellow, and green?"
"Actually, they are." Kai chuckled and smirked.
The bluenette blinked. "Oh."
"Mine is red, Ray's is yellow, and Max's is green."
"Hmm . . ." Tyson looked thoughtful.
"What?"
"I, I think that actually suits everyone one." The younger boy shrugged. "Anyway, thanks for . . . saving me earlier." He smiled.
"Hn. I'm team leader, so it's my job to keep you guys safe."
"Really?! I didn't know that!" Tyson blushed. "I'm glad we have such a strong and capable leader." What'd I say that for?! Stupid, stupid, stupid! I probably sounded like a girl who was flirting with a hot guy! Well, he IS kinda hot . . . really hot . . . Gah! WHAT AM I DOING?!
Kai looked surprised, and then smiled softly. "Thanks . . . I promise I won't let anything bad happen to you."
Tyson's blush deepened. "Y-yeah! L-looking f-forward to it!" Smooth! Wow, I am stupid.
The dual haired teen nodded then checked the clock by the side of the blue covered bed. "You should go to sleep. Tomorrow is a big day."
"Right! See you tomorrow morning then!"
Kai turned to leave but paused in the doorway. " . . . Good night, Ty."
The bluenette jumped slightly. "Uh, good night!"
Tyson sighed when the older boy left. He gently closed the door and leaned against it. "I . . . What's wrong with me?" he whispered before turning away from the door. He changed into his PJs and got into bed quickly. Okay . . . He began to think. What the hell is wrong with me? Kai says one thing and I totally feel like melting into a puddle! On no . . . Don't tell me I have a major crush on him! No, no, no! I mean . . . I have been thinking I was gay for a while now. I hate being around girls, and I like guys more. So, that I got a crush on a guy doesn't surprise me. But Kai is, like, totally opposite from me! Hey, maybe that's why I'm attracted to him! He chuckled softly. Opposites tend to attract, after all. But the only problem is . . . Could he love me back? Sleep began to take over as his stormy blue eyes started to close. Soon, he was lost to the world, and unconsciousness stole him.
Unknown to Tyson, a certain dual haired teen stood on the other side of his door, leaning against it lightly. Tyson . . . Why do you make me feel this way? He closed his eyes and sighed quietly. With one last look at the door that blocked him from the bluenette, he trotted down the hall to his own room, which was not too far from the younger boy's. Sleep tight . . . He closed the door behind him.
Mint: (Looks around suspiciously) Have they returned to normal yet?
Tyson: Hey, Mint!
Mint: (Screams and jumps) GAH! Don't scare me like that!
Max: What's happening?
Mint: (Screams and jumps again) AHH! Stop doing that!
Max: Doing what?
Kai: Hn.
Mint: (Screams and jumps . . . again) EEP! WHY DO YOU ALL KEEP SCARING ME?!
Ray: Is everything okay?!
Mint: (Screams and faints)
Bladebreakers: (Sweat drops) Please REVIEW before leaving!
Good night!
