Beyblade Fan Fiction ❯ A Hero Journey ❯ Chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

O.O….one review…oh well…thanks for your support Duo's only Chick and crescente nuwedes!

One correction from the last chapter…Jung didn't branch off from Darwin…. he might of branched off of Freud…or maybe he was just by himself…who knows? I might include a bit of yaoi…perhaps some Max/Rei and Ty/Kai…so consider this a warning

One more thing…((and feel free to his me if I start sounding like uncle from Jackie Chan))…Kin and the others I'm about to introduce in this chapter are essentially Max, Kai, Rei, Kenny, etc. I would have used their real names…but it would have been too weird to have Max in one world and in the other…so really, it's for the sake of Tyson practically losing his sanity and me keeping mine *nods*

Disclaimer- I don't own them…But I'm pretty sure I own this plot idea

`thoughts'

"talking"

Kin-Golden

Kiyoshi-quiet

Hideaki-wise

Masato-justice

A Hero Journey-Chapter 2

Tyson's eyes fluttered open and found himself looking into a pair of crystal blue eyes. His own eyes widened greatly and he drew in a deep breath, preparing to scream in order to scare those eyes away…however there was one hitch in that plan. As he drew in that breath, a sharp pain shot across his chest, causing him to gasp sharply instead. "Careful" Kin replied in his normally bright voice. "You're very sick…and your body is still healing."

"Who…who are you?" Tyson whispered, afraid to raise his voice any louder in case the pain returned. "And where am I? Aren't you Max? I'm so confused…".

"Calm down…my name is Kin…and I'm afraid I do not know where your friend Max is…There were no others with you when I found you…I tried to get you warm as fast as possible…but the gods still decided to give you a sickness anyways" the blonde explained slowly. "As for where you are, well, right now you are in a small village called Midori, it happens to be right on the other side of the border from the barren wasteland where I found you…that place is called Hyouden. It is where many strange animals and creatures live…be glad that I found you before they did. I mean, Draciel even hates to go there….". Kin slowly trailed off as he saw Tyson's eyes widening with surprise. "What? What did I say?"

"Draciel…you have to be Max…. *he's* the only one that has that bit beast!" the blader said in an urgent whisper. Reaching up, he grabbed into Kin's wrist. "Come on bud…. remember blading? And the people we've met…and the all-starz and dark bladers…you *have* to remember Max…"

"Bit beast? I don't know what you are talking about…Draciel is my friend…you can meet her if you want to…" the blonde-haired boy replied slowly. Reaching into his pocket, Kin pulled out a roughly carved wooden whistle. Keeping one eye on Tyson, he brought the instrument up to his mouth and blew into it. It emitted a soft, almost cooing sound that filled the room. Tyson's eyes darted from side to side nervously, expecting a huge creature to suddenly emerge from something in the room…like normal bit beasts did. But, much to his surprise, nothing happened. Just as he began to relax, a flash of movement from the doorway caught his eye. A turtle like creature slowly ambled into the room, moving at a very slow pace as most turtles did. Tyson's jaw nearly dropped open.

"T-that's Draciel?!" Kin smile widely as the turtle creature made her way over to the boys and settled down on his lap.

"Yup…this is Draciel. She's the most loyal out of all our fighters…although not the strongest. I mean, Dranzer has never lost a fight yet" he replied softly, gently petting the top of the turtle's head. Draciel let out a soft sigh of contentment. If possible, Tyson's eyes widened even more.

"Dranzer?" he asked, the doubt evident in his voice before he let out a soft groan. "This is so confusing…. last thing I knew, I, Tyson Granger, was battling Tala in the finals…"

"Ah, so your name is Tyson…I was wondering if you were ever going to tell me" Kin replied with a slight smile on his face. "Are you saying that you came from a different world? It is possible…. one person did it…along time ago, when I was just a child…I remember, she had the same color hair as you" Tyson let out another sigh as he let his eyes slide shut, too tired to hold them open anymore.

"I dunno…I could be from another world…I was battling Tala and Wolborg…with my dragoon…he's a bit beast in my beyblade. He's the best you know…and Tala did something…and I ended up in the ice palace thing…" the blue-haired boy murmured sleepily. "You look exactly like my best friend…his name is Max…you'd like him…" The rest of the sentence was almost incoherent, as Tyson had drifted off to sleep. Kin sighed and shook his head before tucking the blanket under his newfound friend's chin.

"Sleep well Tyson," he murmured, gently gathering up Draciel in his arms and standing up. `So he knows about Wolborg and Dragoon…perhaps he is the one after all…'

*~*

Kenny simply looked at Kai, his eyes well hidden behind his mop of brown hair. "What…what do you mean Tala was out cold as well….are you saying that whatever could have caused Tyson to go into a coma…could have possibly cause Tala to go into one as well?" Kai offered the team a short nod.

"That is one possibility…" Dizzi commented. "The power that Tala was emitting was huge…it could have easily knocked both of them out…for a while at least". Max let out a soft sigh before placing his head in his hands.

"I dunno…I think it's more than that" he replied softly. "It doesn't feel…normal". Rei nodded softly in agreement as he got up and walked over to sit beside Max.

"I agree with Max," the Chinese boy stated, placing an arm around Max's shoulders. "This whole situation feels strange…maybe Biovolt had something to do with it"

"Biovolt cares about nothing except creating the perfect beyblader" Kai snorted from the background. "They had no hand in this."

"I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation for this" Mr. Dickenson spoke up, adjusting his glasses so that they were higher up on his nose. "They have very excellent medical services here in Moscow".

`What if it isn't a medical reason though…'Max thought worriedly, paying no attention to the arm that was still draped over his shoulders. `Tyson's been going through a lot lately…'. The blonde boy was startled out of his thoughts by the entrance of three other people in the room. The doctor who was looking after Tyson, and Tyson's grandpa and dad.

*~*

Kin let out a soft sigh as Draciel proceeded to nose the object he had found clutched in Tyson's hand across the table again. "Draciel…stop that," he chided gently, grabbing whatever it was in his own hand. "It doesn't belong to you…". This was only the tenth time he had done this…for some reason Draciel wasn't listening and this time was no different. The designs that decorated her shell began to glow a light red, which indicated that she was annoyed and she let out a soft snort of disagreement before nudging the mysterious object back out of Kin's hand and the process repeated all over again. The blonde haired boy let out a frustrated sigh as he reached for it one more time but was interrupted by a knock on his door. Stifling another sigh, Kin stood up to answer the door as Draciel gleefully began her game of pushing the object back and forth across the table.

Kin cast another glanced at his fighter before opening the door to see his friend Hideaki [1] standing there. "Hideaki!" he cried happily, giving the brown-haired boy a warm hug. "It's good to see you again…where's Dizzi?" Hideaki simply rolled his eyes.

"She's off in the forest somewhere…something about looking for some fun…and how this village is so boring" he explained knowingly. "I heard that you have another visitor…". It was Kin's turn to roll his eyes.

"Is nothing secret anymore?" he asked, not really expecting an answer to his question. Hideaki shrugged as they stepped back into the house and Kin closed the door behind them.

"Not here anyways, you knew that Kin" he replied knowingly, eyes searching the room for the guest and eventually landing on Tyson. "I'm guessing that's him?" The blonde -haired boy nodded in response.

"Yes, his name is Tyson and he's not doing too well…I think being out in the cold so long made him sick and he's not from this world…but he knows about…" Kin's voice dropped to a whisper. "Wolborg and Dragoon". Hideaki let out a soft gasp.

"You aren't serious…"

"I am…Draciel is even acting…well…happy again. After that attack from Wyborg and Falborg…I wasn't sure she would ever return to her normal self" Kin admitted softly as he watched Draciel happily push the object from one end of the table to another, the swirly designs were glow a soft green, which indicated contentment. His friend looked on in amazement.

"She's happy…" he admitted slowly. "But what is the thing that she's playing with?". Kin shrugged as he walked over and picked it up off the table and offered it to Hideaki. The color Draciel admitted immediately changed to red and she began to crawl down off the table and make her way over to what she thought was a new toy.

"Tyson had this clutched in his hand when I found him…I'm not really sure what it is…"

"Hmm…." Hideaki murmured, looking the beyblade over, taking in every little detail. He was so intent on figuring out what it was that he didn't notice Draciel gently nipping at his foot, desperate to get her toy back. After a few moments of inspection, Hideaki finally shrugged and offered the unknown object back to Kin. "It's made out of a material I've never seen before" he admitted softly. " But the construction is excellent". Seeing that her toy was being passed back to her master, Draciel made her way back over to Kin. Just as Hideaki was about to hand it over, his sharp eyes caught a flash of color on top of the object. "Wait Kin! There's something on top that I didn't notice before!".

Before the brunette had a chance to take a closer look, a stream of light shot out of the beyblade and ricocheted around the room a few times before crashing into the table. "Was that supposed to happen?" Kin asked nervously. His home used to be a peaceful place…

"I'm not sure…" Hideaki admitted, as the light seemed to form into something. "Gods Kin, you don't think it could be…"

*~*

After offering a small nod to his son's teammates, Mr. Granger made his way over to the doctor. "How's Tyson doing?"

"He's a perfectly healthy 12 year old boy. I'm baffled as to the reason of why he went into a coma in the first place" the doctor replied truthfully. "I have no explanation for you…I'm very sorry but we have no other choice but to wait for Tyson to wake up."

"What about the other boy that was brought is?" Mr. Dickenson asked in an amazingly calm voice considering the situation that they were caught up in. The doctor simply looked at the elderly man, obviously confused.

"What other boy? Tyson Granger is the only one that's been admitted to this hospital in the past 4 hours…"

Kai groaned silently. Tala had obviously faked his injuries and had managed to get a hold of Dragoon somehow. `But why do I care that his beyblade is missing?' the crimson eyed boy thought confusedly. Shaking his head clear of those thoughts, Kai got up off the wall and left the room, intent on finding out exactly what was going on and how Biovolt was linked to it.

"The rest of you little dudes should leave also" Tyson's grandpa commented from the background. "We'll give you a ring if anything changes…". The remaining members of the blade breakers nodded silently before standing up and leaving the waiting room as well. They had now lost the 2 strongest members of their team not to mention that the fate of the world was still up in the air. Team morale was at an all time low and it was at this time that Max wished Tyson were still with them…they needed that cheerfulness and confidence right about now.

*~*

A tiny tail was formed, followed by paper-thin wings, and small pointy horns. "Kin!" Hideaki cried excitedly. "It's…it's him! Dragoon had finally come!". There, on Kin's kitchen table, sat the cutest baby dragon you could ever imagine. It was the size of small cat or large kitten. It was ice blue in color with glittering scales that let off a soft white glow when the sun light hit them properly. His tiny tail curled around his hind paws as he examined his front ones with wide, innocent silver eyes. There was a small developing horn on the end of his snout along with another pair by his point ears. He sneezed delicately, a fine mist rushing out of his nostrils and coating the table. Inside of a minute, the mist had turned into a thick layer of ice.

Draciel let out a cry of excitement at the possibility of making a new friend and she began to plod back over to the table. The tiny dragon blinked a few times before focusing on Kin and Hideaki. Neither of them seemed fit to be his master…and neither was the strange creature approaching him. Casting a glance around the cozy room, his gaze landed on a sleeping blue haired boy. Deciding that he would be a good master, Dragoon hopped down onto a chair, then to the floor before making his way over to Tyson and curling up into a ball on the sleeping boy's stomach and going to sleep himself. Kin blinked a few times, unable to believe the event that had just taken place.

"Does this mean that the legendary Dragoon has just chosen the outsider, er, Tyson to be his master?" Kin asked, the awe apparent in his voice.

"I think that's exactly what Dragoon has just done," Hideaki replied slowly. "I think it's time we contact Masato [2] and inform him about this…"

"Driger will let him know that he has to come here…" the blonde boy replied, reaching down to pick up Draciel as she passed him by on her way to greet Dragoon. The designs glowed a faint red again and she began to pout (well, as much as turtle-like creatures can pout). Sometimes her master just ruined all her fun…

[1]-if anyone couldn't tell…this is supposed to be Kenny

[2]-this is who represents Rei

Whew…. long chapter for me…. Well, I hoped everyone liked it! The first couple of chapters are going to be slow because I just have to get everything explained then we can get onto the fun stuff. I'm not sure if I should include romance or not…it's your choice.

You can either vote for:

Rei/Max only

Both Rei/Max and Tyson/Kai
