Chapter 11: The Princess Rises
At the Temple of Shadow, Hilary was tied up. Lyran was now at his full strength.
"Watch, my dear, as the world you once knew becomes nothing more than a memory." he smiled.
"Why are you doing this?" Hilary demanded.
Lyran turned to his guards. "Leave us." he ordered.
The guards left.
"I was once a member of the Royal Court, that is, until my apprentice told the King I was studying black magic. He banished me, and my hatred grew so strong, I felt that the whole world should fear my power." he explained. "And you, girl, will be my queen." he added.
He grabbed Hilary and kissed her. Disgusted, Hilary pushed him away. Lyran grabbed her leg.
"W-What are you doing? Let me go! No! Stop it!" she cried. Lyran was attempting to rape her. Suddenly, a blue Beyblade zipped by Lyran, distracting him.
It was Kai. "Leave Hilary alone. If you lay one finger on her, I'll kill you." he snarled.
"Kai!" Hilary exclaimed. She ran over to him. Kai embraced her.
"Are you OK?" he asked. She nodded. She was a little shaken, but she seemed alright.
"Ah, so you are the keeper of Sir Dranzer." Lyran smiled.
Tyson, Ray and Max arrived.
"And Sir Dragoon, Sir Driger, and Sir Draciel's masters have arrived too." he added.
"We're here for Hilary!" Max announced.
"Yeah, so how 'bout ya hand her over and we'll be on our way?" Tyson suggested.
"Fools! FEEL MY POWER!" Lyran yelled, firing black magic at them.
"LET IT RIP!" the boys cried, launching their Beyblades.
Despite their best efforts, Lyran proved too powerful, and blasted them against the walls of the temple. He prepared to take the bit beasts.
"No!" Hilary screamed.
"No, it's happening again...just as it did 3000 years ago!" Adelaide's voice echoed.
"Now their power will be mine!" Lyran cackled.
"No! I will not lose them again! Hilary, let us become one!" Adelaide's voice suggested.
"Right!" Hilary agreed.
Her body started to glow. The boys started to regain consciousness.
"Hilary...?" Kai blinked.
"Leave the Knights out of this! Your fight is with me!" Hilary shouted.
"No, it can't be...! But, you're dead!" Lyran whispered.
"Is Hilary Adelaide's descendant?" asked Tyson.
"She's more than the princess' descendant...she's the princess' reincarnation!" Kai realised.
"Very well!" Lyran replied, summoning his own Beyblade.
Adelaide, now acting through Hilary, prepared to launch her Beyblade.
"3...2...1...LET IT RIP!" they yelled.
"Rise, Endymonion!" Lyran called. A black lion with a blood red mane with crimson red armour rose from his blade.
"Amethysia, come to my aid!" Adelaide cried. The lioness rose from her blade.
"Wait a second..." Kai began. He remembered something else from the legend. The princess' family were represented by a lioness, the very lioness bit beast now fighting for the preservation of the peace. Kai stood up.
"Kai, are you crazy?!" Tyson cried.
"Don't you remember the legend? Princess Adelaide was married to Sir Dranzer. The man in the painting looked a lot like Kai. He's helping out the woman who was his lover in a past life." Ray explained.
Kai's body started to glow red. The spirit of Sir Dranzer was within him.
"Adelaide, let me aid you!" he begged.
She nodded. "Dranzer!" Kai, now Sir Dranzer, yelled. The phoenix rose to fight alongside Amethysia. Together the couple defeated Lyran.
"Now, to make sure you never come back." Adelaide began. She outstretched her hand, and a sword with her family crest appeared. "Now, BEGONE!" she yelled, plunging the sword in Lyran.
Lyran was sealed inside.
"Care to do the honours, my love?" she asked, handing Sir Dranzer the sword.
"Go to hell, and take your magic with you!" he yelled, and smashed it against the temple wall. Adelaide let out a sigh of relief.
It was finally over.
She and her husband released their hosts, who crumbled to the ground.
When they woke up, they were treated to the story of their heroic deed.
