So I'm back with the new story, after that Prologue most of you would have guessed what it might be about in case you didn't it's about how Kai and Dranzer reunite. I'm finally introducing my OC Crystal. I'm so much excited as she's my first OC and I hope you guys Hiro well, yeah he might not be much likeable in anime (even though he's hot) but in manga he's that lovely elder brother who would actually guide his little brother and his friends and a nerd archeologist, so my version of Hiro will be a mix of both.
So, I don't own beyblade and any characters except the OC.
Hope you guys enjoy this Chapter!
The first victory, the first big step towards the end of BEGA and come back of the simple days when beyblading was a sport for everyone, the good old days when whether you're a pro or not never mattered.
Kai's victory was still fresh and Hilary could still hear friends and fans celebrating his victory. But something was not right, Hilary could feel it and as she thought about it, she couldn't help but feel herself wandering about Kai.
They all had stayed since Tyson match was up next but since Dj announced a small break between the matches -Well the last match did hit BEGA pretty bad- so she turned towards the group and pitched "Let's go and see how's Kai doing, What do you think Ray?" she looked at Ray for support.
"Yeah guys Hils' right because Kai must know how Garland plays and thinks, due to his time with BEGA he could really help us set up a strategy to defeat him" agreed Ray as he knew how worried she was about Kai.
"Hey, Why didn't I thought about it? let's go find him before he leaves" and they rush through the corridor.
What they saw was something they never thought they would see, the Kai who had always been the toughest part of team, their Kai who never let anyone see any of his weaknesses, The Kai Hiwatari was lying unconscious in front of them and his beyblade shattered to bits infront of him. Seeing Kai this vulnerable froze them to core, it was like the world had stopped. Hilary screamed his name as soon as her eyes registered Kai's unconscious form.
Ray reached him and touched his face and shuddered internally " He's... cold"
Tyson started shaking Kai "Oh shut up Ray, obviously he's Mr Iceberg he's gotta be cold, right Kenny? Now get up Kai you ol' sourpuss, come on wake up BEGA isn't finished yet and there's no way you're gonna miss my match you Mr. I'm-better-than-you especially after you promised me a rematch, tell him to get up Hilary, he listens to you right?" he looked at Hilary with little hope in his eyes filled with tears.
Hilary's legs started to give in, tears in her eyes threatening to fall, she felt her voice caught in her throat, she slowly reached Kai's wrist trying to concentrate if she could find a tiny hint of pulse to keep herself from breaking.
"There they are" yelled Romero as he came with a grey haired woman clad in hooded leather black outfit called Mystique who they had met during world championship when they were discussing about Barthez Battalion with The Majestics and had warned them that this conspiracy could be deeply rooted.
"I c-can feel his pulse guys" said Hilary for first time since she had screamed.
"Kids step aside, we have to take him to hospital immediately" said Mystique.
"No, we're not leaving him" said Tyson.
"Don't be ridiculous, you do realise that you are up next against Garland so let us take him" argued Romero.
"Well then no match matters more than our friend and we're not leaving his side" said Hilary staring angrily at Mystique.
"Get a hold on yourself young lady, wasn't he your captain not so long ago, so tell me, do you really think this is what he would've wanted? now let us take him to hospital you kids can come there after your match" lectured Mystique as Romero scooped Kai in his arms. Realisation hit Hilary hard like a brick 'Mystique's right, it will mean we have forfeited and Garland and Boris would win without even having to move a finger. No, not happening atleast on my watch' .
Avoiding her instructions boys wanted to follow them but they were stopped by Hilary "She's right guys, we shouldn't go right now" to which Tyson and Max tried protest "but Hilary...".
She cuts them off and explains " Tyson we have to understand, we can't leave now, not at this point when Kai gave his everything for our first win and he doesn't deserve that we dishonor him by quitting after coming this far and he would really hate it if he founds out that we did it because he was hurt", putting a hand on Tyson's shoulder "Tyson he wanted you to win your match, please keep your promise and trust me I think he'll be fine, he's our Kai after all".
"Hilary's right Tyson, we have to trust Romero and Mystique they won't let anything happen to Kai" added Ray.
Tyson looked at Ray who nodded and they all went in their dressing room.
Even though Hilary had put on a brave face and had motivated them, she was worried to core, she wanted to cry but she held her tears back because she had to be brave and act practically for her friends, her team and... Kai.
Although he agreed to stay, Tyson couldn't shake the feeling that something was not right, he could feel Dragoon's sadness and restlessness as if Dragoon had lost something so close to him.
(A/N: All this led to the restless feeling Tyson was feeling before his battle with Garland)
"Get on backseat with him Romero, I'll drive us to hospital" ordered Mystique.
"He's really cold like the whole heat has been sucked out of his body, I fear we might not make it in time" worries Romero.
"That's hypothermia, try rubbing his knuckles" said Mystique trying to keep her calm, she knew she had very less time since his pulse was too low and he was barely hanging on to life. It's really hard to save him without Dranzer we need to warm him... wait, I know what to do".
"Romero here, take it and keep it near his heart" Mystique takes out her beyblade with a glowing bit-chip, it kept sending warmth through Kai's body to keep him from freezing to death.
"First yesterday you call me to 'fishing date at docks' and second you never let anyone touch as far as I remember, you care about this kid, don't you?" wanders Romero as he sees her drive through traffic.
"First I told you it wasn't a date and second you know very well why I'm doing this and the one who should have been doing all these is busy being traitor" scoffed Mystique.
Knowing that by traitor she meant Hiro he decided to shut it as it was not the right time to discuss such things. She had told him that the reason she wants Kai to defeat Brooklyn was because she wanted BBA to come back again and break Hiro's ego. He couldn't understand why Hiro betrayed BBA but he still didn't wanted to believe it was true and despite what she says but he thinks Mystique didn't believed that either.
They reached the hospital and handed Kai over to doctors who were now in operation theatre treating him and Mystique was with two remaining Blitzkrieg Boys who looked like they were arguing with her about something thing serious while she showed them destroyed bits of Dranzer, those guys were really going through rough patch right now, I hope Tyson wins the next match.
"What happened Mystique, Romero? I know Kai's in critical condition but there's something else, isn't it" questioned Mr D as he came out of Tala's room.
Mystique's form tensed, it wasn't like she hadn't seen this happen in past but Dranzer was not like any bit beast, she was one of the four holy spirits, to Mystique it was like a personal failure. She brought up the courage to be the massenger of this inauspicious news-
" Sir... The Great Pheonix of fire is no more"
Some Info on Mystique: She always keeps her face hooded so no one knows how she looks and who she really isexcept Mr D and Romero (after he agreed to train with Kai to work on Hard Metal System), she's a spy send by World Beyblade Jury to help BBA to conduct the tournament smoothly, she provoked Miguel to betray Barthez, she had warned Mr Dickenson and Hiro after finals to stay alert because she had a suspected that this time it's not just about Championship. We'll know about her more as we proceed well this name's not real it's more like Jin of the Gale.
A/N: That's it, well I wanted to wrap-it-up to end of Justice league Tournament and start the whole thing from next chapter but I guess we'll be sticking to anime a little bit longer i.e one more chapter.
And sorry if you find the dialogues little bit like American sitcoms, maybe I'm watching them a little to much.
Hiro: Maybe? a little?
Author: Yeah I need to stop that...wait, what are you doing here? told ya' I'm done with us hosting together so don't you dare try breaking the fourth wall. Sorry guys force of habit.
