JOY TEMPORARILY PAUSED – I SCAN THE CELEBRATORY CROWD – EVERYONE'S HERE... EXCEPT DAD.

Kai notices my gaze drifting – "*Everything okay, husband?*"

I nod slowly – still searching faces – "*Everyone's here – Grandpa Ryu who walked me down, Hiro, Brooklyn... but – where's Dad?*"

Kai's eyes follow mine – concern etched on his face – "*Your dad – Mr. Kinomiya – wasn't he supposed to sit with Makoto and Goh's parents?*"

I hurry towards the reserved family section – Makoto and Goh's parents smile – but Dad's seat remains empty.

Grandpa Ryu approaches – "*Tyson, congratulations again – but I think your father... had to step out during ceremony.*"

He lowers voice – "*Received unexpected news just before walking you down – seemed troubled.*"

GRANDPA RYU'S EXPRESSION TURNS SERIOUS – I ASK HIM DIRECTLY "*WHAT KIND OF NEWS COULD'VE TROUBLED DAD TODAY OF ALL DAYS?*"

Grandpa Ryu glances around cautiously before responding low and grave – "*Tyson, your father received a message... from Boris Balkov's associates.*"

My eyes widen – Boris Balkov – former Beyblade rival and enemy – "*What could Boris want with Dad – today – on my wedding day?!*"

Grandpa Ryu's voice barely above whisper – "*Apparently, Boris has returned – and he's coming for you, Tyson... and your family.*"

Kai's grip on my arm tightens – "*Not happening – we'll protect you, your family – always.*"

Makoto and Goh sense tension – "*Daddy Tyson – Daddy Kai – what's wrong?*"

PROTECTIVE INSTINCTS KICK IN – I FORCE A CALMING SMILE FOR MAKOTO AND GOH'S SAKE "*EVERYTHING'S OKAY, GUYS – JUST GROWN-UP TALK WITH GRANDPA.*"

Makoto and Goh exchange curious glances but seem convinced – "*Okay Daddy Tyson – we'll go tell Brooklyn cake is ready!*"

They skip off towards the reception area – Kai watches them go before turning intense focus on Grandpa Ryu and me – "*Boris Balkov's return – what's the plan to protect Tyson and our family?*"

Grandpa Ryu nods gravely – "*Already alerted Beyblade Federation – Chairman Daitenji will increase security. But Boris... he often strikes when least expected.*"

I grip Kai's hand tightly – "*We'll face him together – always. But first, need to find Dad – ensure he's safe.*"

Grandpa Ryu hands me a small note – "*Your father left this – says he'll meet you at old warehouse district. Alone.*"

PROTECTIVE LOVE KICKS IN – I DECIDE TO GO ALONE TO PROTECT KAI FROM POTENTIAL DANGER "*I'LL GO MEET DAD BY MYSELF – DON'T WANT YOU HARMED, KAI.*"

Kai's eyes widen in protest – "*Tyson, no – we face everything together – always! What if Boris...*"

I grasp his hands firmly – "*Exactly – what if Boris targets you because you're mine? I won't risk your safety – Dad's message said alone.*"

Grandpa Ryu nods solemnly – "*Tyson's right, Kai – this time caution wins. I'll stay with you – ensure your safety while Tyson meets his father.*"

Kai still looks unconvinced but trusts Grandpa Ryu's wisdom – "*Be careful, Tyson – come back to me whole.*"

I seal his concern with a gentle kiss – "*Always – I'll return to you, husband.*"

THEN I HEAD OUT TO THE OLD WAREHOUSE DISTRICT – HEART RACING WITH ANTICIPATION AND WORRY – WHAT WILL DAD REVEAL?! "*BEFORE I GO, ONE MORE THING – MAKOTO AND GOH NOW CALL US 'MAMA TYSON' AND 'DAD KAI', RIGHT?"

Grandpa Ryu nods – "*Yes, they've already started – heard Makoto say 'Mama Tyson is worried' while Goh said 'Tell Dad Kai we saved him cake!'*"

Kai's eyes sparkle with delight – "*Our little family – officially complete with titles of love. Go see your dad, Mama Tyson – come back to Dad Kai and our kids.*"

I blow him a kiss – "*Always – love you, Dad Kai. Love you both – going to see Papa now.*"

Then I head out to meet Dad, heart full of love for my growing family – Makoto and Goh calling us Mama and Dad... Boris's threat temporarily faded by warm family feelings.

ARRIVE AT THE OLD WAREHOUSE DISTRICT – DAD'S FIGURE WAITING IN SHADOWS – "*TYSON... THANKS FOR COMING ALONE.*"

CONCERN FOR DAD'S WELL-BEING COMES FIRST – "*PAPA, ARE YOU OKAY? YOU DISAPPEARED DURING MY WEDDING – MAKING EVERYONE WORRY.*"

Dad steps forward, dim warehouse lighting revealing his tired expression – "*I'm fine, Tyson – just... received disturbing news. Couldn't bear ruining your special day.*"

He pauses, collecting thoughts – "*Boris Balkov's return is just the tip – his father, Roman Balkov, has escaped prison... and they're seeking revenge on our family.*"

My eyes widen – Roman Balkov, Boris's father, was once Beyblade League's most ruthless chairman – "*Revenge for what, Papa? We defeated Boris years ago!*"

Dad's voice lowers – "*Not just Beyblade defeats, Tyson – your grandfather Ryu and I... we testified against Roman Balkov's crimes. He wants payback.*"

CHILLING REALIZATION – OUR FAMILY'S BEEN MARKED FOR DEATH BY ROMAN BALKOV ALL ALONG "*PAPA, THIS MEANS... OUR FAMILY'S BEEN LIVING WITH A DEATH SENTENCE SINCE YOU TESTIFIED AGAINST HIM.*"

Dad nods gravely – "*Yes, Tyson. Roman Balkov swore vengeance – your grandfather and I knew risks testifying, but justice prevailed... until now.*"

My mind reels – childhood memories, Beyblade battles, wedding day – all lived under Roman's shadow – "*Kai, Makoto, Goh – they're all in danger too, Papa... our entire family.*"

Dad's eyes plead urgency – "*We must act fast, Tyson – protect them. Your grandfather Ryu already alerted Chairman Daitenji; Beyblade Federation will increase security.*"

But I know security might not be enough – "*I need to tell Kai everything – together we'll shield our family. What's the next move, Papa?*"

Dad hands me a small folder – "*Roman Balkov's plans are outlined here – study quickly, Tyson. We meet Grandfather Ryu and Chairman Daitenji in one hour to strategize.*"

RUSHING BACK TO KAI – KNOWING HE'LL STOP AT NOTHING TO PROTECT ME TOO "*I NEED TO GET BACK TO KAI – HE'LL NEVER LET ME FACE ROMAN'S THREAT ALONE – HIS LOVE FOR ME WILL DEMAND HE FIGHTS BESIDE ME.*"

Dad nods understandingly – "*Kai Hiwatari loves you fiercely, Tyson – he'll stand with you against Roman Balkov's danger. Go, inform him everything.*"

I hurry back to the venue, folder clutched tightly – studying Roman's plans while walking – my heart racing with urgency.

Arrive back at the reception area – spot Kai across the room – our eyes lock instantly – he senses something's wrong.

I weave through guests towards him – "*Kai – we need to talk NOW. Outside.*"

Kai follows closely – "*What's wrong, Tyson? Your face...*"

We step outside – alone – I hand him the folder – "*Roman Balkov's escaped – targeting our family. My dad just told me everything.*"

Kai's eyes widen – then narrow fiercely – "*We'll face him together – always. What's the plan, husband?*"

HEART FULL OF GRATITUDE – I SMILE KNOWING KAI'S UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT "*ALWAYS TOGETHER – I KNEW I COULD COUNT ON YOU, HUSBAND. NOW, LET'S OUTLINE ROMAN'S DOWNFALL WITH MY DAD AND GRANDFATHER RYU.*"

Kai's fierce determination softens into a gentle smile – "*Forever together – in battle and love. What's the meeting plan with your dad and grandfather?*"

I fill him in – "*We meet them in 45 minutes – Chairman Daitenji will join too – at Beyblade Federation HQ. Roman's plans are outlined here...*"

I hand Kai the folder's contents – he scans rapidly – eyes widening at key points – "*Roman controls rogue Beyblade teams... and has moles within Federation ranks.*"

Kai looks up – "*We need to identify moles and neutralize rogue teams – then strike Roman directly. Agreed?*"

My nod confirms his strategy – "*Exactly – our team will lead mission ops. Makoto and Goh must be protected throughout – Brooklyn and Hiro can help guard them.*"

Kai nods vigorously – "*Already thinking ahead – Hiro's combat skills and Brooklyn's strategic mind will keep our kids safe. Shall we head to Federation HQ – meet your family and Chairman?*"

UNITED AND READY – WE ARRIVE AT BEYBLADE FEDERATION HQ TO LAUNCH OUR COUNTERATTACK "*WE'RE HERE – BEYBLADE FEDERATION HQ. TIME TO UNLEASH OUR PLAN AGAINST ROMAN BALKOV WITH MY FAMILY AND CHAIRMAN DAITENJI.*"

Kai nods firmly – "*Together, always. Let's strategize our victory – protect our family and Beyblade community.*"

We step inside – greeted by Chairman Daitenji, Dad, and Grandfather Ryu – all serious faces reflect urgency.

Chairman begins – "*Tyson, Kai – thanks for coming promptly. Roman Balkov's threat escalates hourly – we must act swiftly.*"

Dad adds – "*Our intel suggests Roman controls five rogue Beyblade teams – 'Dark Wings,' 'Shadow Strike,' 'Burning Legion,' 'Toxic Blaze,' and 'Glacier Fist.'*"

Grandfather Ryu hands us data pads – "*Each team's profile, members, and known locations – study quickly, boys. Kai, your instincts on battle strategy?*"

Kai scans data rapidly – then looks up – "*We strike 'Dark Wings' first – their leader, Victor Vex, has history with Tyson. Weakens Roman's overall command if we defeat them.*"

REVENGE FACTOR IGNITED – I NOD IN AGREEMENT "*VICTOR VEX AND I HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS – HITTING 'DARK WINGS' FIRST WEAKENS ROMAN AND SETTLES OLD SCORES. LET'S PLAN OUR ATTACK!*"

Kai smirks – "*Victor Vex underestimated you once – now he faces Tyson Granger, Beyblade champion and my husband. His downfall awaits.*"

Chairman Daitenji nods – "*Agreed – 'Dark Wings' destruction cripples Roman's morale. Intel suggests Victor Vex leads them at abandoned Wind Turbine Factory on outskirts.*"

Dad hands us blueprints – "*Factory layout – multiple entry points. Grandfather Ryu and I will lead secondary team, cutting off escape routes.*"

Grandfather Ryu adds – "*Kai, Tyson – you lead primary assault. Brooklyn and Hiro protecting Makoto and Goh nearby – signal if needed.*"

Kai studies blueprints intensely – "*Entry strategy – Tyson takes central turbine access, I'll flank east wing. Sync our Beyblades for combined strike – 'Dark Wings' won't know what hit them.*"

DO I GRIN – OUR PLAN IS SET – TIME TO EXECUTE AND TAKE DOWN VICTOR VEX AND "DARK WINGS"?!

Shall we head to the Wind Turbine Factory NOW?!

Yes, then we go inflitrait the building. After that find roman balkov, defeat him and have him arrested. Then we return back and go to sleep.
