Chapter 3:
Dragon's Quest

The sun climbed into the sky and shoned its rays upon the Granger residence. As Everyone slept in their beds, Tyson woke up with Hilary asleep on his chest. As Tyson stared at his new girlfriend and smiled, he gently lifted Hilary off him and placed her on her side of the bed. Tyson sat up and kissed her cheek. He got up and stretched out his limbs, getting ready for another day. He retrieved his Red Dragoon blade and launcher from his room to do some practice. Tyson gathered some soda cans from the backyard and lined them up on the ground. He placed his blade onto his launcher and let it rip.

The ebony-shaded blade zoomed toward and knocked one of the cans down. Kenny woke up from the sound of Tyson's blade hitting one of the cans. He quickly ran outside to see the undead Bladebreaker doing some target practice.

"Hey, Tyson," Kenny greeted. "Whacha doin'?"

"Target practice," Tyson replied.

"You've been dead for a year and you still got it," Kenny remarked.

"Being a two-time champion isn't something that goes away easy," Tyson said.

As Tyson's blade returned to his hand, Kenny noticed the blade was colored black.

"Your blade...it's black," Kenny said breathlessly. "Why is it colored black instead of white, Tyson?"

"Side effect of being reborn, I guess," Tyson replied. "When I came back all dark, so did Dragoon."

"I bet this has something to do with your emotional link to your Bitbeast," Kenny stated.

"Probably," Tyson replied absentmindedly.

Hilary, the Saint Shields, and the rest of the Bladebreakers woke up sometime later. They saw Tyson doing some practice with his blade.

"Good morning, Tyson. Look's like you're blading again," Ozuma said.

"Yeah, I gotta keep myself in top condition if I'm going to take down the rest of the Wild Cards," Tyson said.

"Really? How's about I challenge you to a beyblade fight for old times' sake?" Ozuma asked.

"Bring it, Ozuma," Tyson challenged.

"No way, I'm facing Tyson," Kai interjected.

"I'll take you both on," Tyson suggested.

"Fine by me," Kai replied.

"I'm gonna take you to school," Ozuma added.

Tyson positioned his beyblade launcher, his finger at the rip cord. "Three."

"Two," Kai continued.

"One," Ozuma finished.

"Let it rip!" all three beybladers shouted, launching their beyblades at the same time.

The blades spun toward the ground and slammed against each other. The blades spun around all over the frontyard as everyone cheered the dueling bladers on.

"Kick his ass, Ozuma!" Joseph cheered.

"Take his ass to the mat, Kai!" Ray added.

"Go, Tyson! Go!" Hilary cheered.

The blades clanged into each other as they spun very fast and almost bumped into the cheering crowd. Hilary and co. watched the blades spun at each other so fast, it was hard to watch the battle. Kai and Ozuma cheered on their blades while Tyson stood there in silence.

"What the fuck is he doing?" Ozuma asked.

"I don't know but he's still going down," Kai replied.

Kai couldn't have been more wrong, their blades were on the business end of Tyson's crow-enhanced blade since the start of the battle. The heat of the battle really started to cook as Tyson's blade started to give off a red and black glow.

"What the hell?" Kai shouted in utter shock. "Where's that power coming from?"

"Dragoon," Tyson replied calmly.

Upon the announcement of Dragoon's name, the red and black hellfire swirled around the black disk and appearing out of the core of the blade was a red dragon. Red eyes glistened as the red dragon let out a familiar earth-shattering roar. Hilary and co. gasped at the very sight of red dragon.

"Jesus fucking Christ! That can't be Dragoon!" Ozuma shouted.

"Actually, it can," Tyson replied. "Red Dragoon."

"Still the same Dragoon," Kai said. "We'll take him down just the same. Go, Dranzer!"

"Flash Leopard, attack!" Ozuma screamed.

Beams of light shot forth from Kai and Ozuma's disks, summoning Dranzer and Flash Leopard into the air. Now they had a demonically enhanced Dragoon to deal with.

"Hit Dragoon with Crossfire, Flash Leopard!" Ozuma shouted.

"Burn him with Volcano Emission!" Kai shouted.

"Red Dragoon . . . Hell Victory Twister!" Tyson shouted.

Red Dragoon roared as he summoned a red and black tornado while the black blade spinned rapidly toward the other blades and crashed into them. The red and black tornado trapped Flash Leopard and Dranzer within the vortex.

Tyson smiled as he asked, "Do you two give up?"

"No," Kai replied

"Stubborn as ever," Tyson remarked. "Dragoon, take 'em down."

Red Dragoon stopped the twister which sent the Bitbeasts back into their respective blades. The blades stopped spinning and plopped on the ground. Hilary ran toward Tyson, she hugged him and kissed his painted cheek. Tyson gave everyone his usual goofy smile and he would've blushed big time if it wasn't for the red paint on his face.

"Now that's the Tyson we know," Max remarked.

"Yeah," Ray agreed.

As everyone came up to Tyson to celebrate his victory, Kenny noticed Red Dragoon hadn't returned to his bladed home. Kenny was creeped out by the red dragon's appearance.

"Guys?" Kenny uttered. "Why is Red Dragoon still out?"

"You gotta be shitting me," Dunga remarked.

"No, we're not shitting you," Tyson replied.

Red Dragoon spoke. "Hello."

Hilary waved to the towering dragon as she said in a frightened tone, "Hello."

"You're wondering why I'm still out of my blade, aren't you?" Red Dragoon deduced.

"It did kinda cross our minds," Kenny said.

Red Dragoon let out a low growl. "I'm here to tell you all about the powers of the crow."

"What do you mean by the powers of the crow?" Hilary asked.

"The bird contains a porton of my powers," Red Dragoon replied. "If anything were to happen to the crow, I cease to exist and Tyson becomes mortal."

"Why are you telling us this now?" Kenny asked.

"Just in case if anything happens to Tyson," Red Dragoon replied. "Now for other matters. Tyson, I'm gonna give you a gift."

"A gift?" Tyson echoed.

"Yes. Watch," Red Dragoon replied as he waved his tail forth at Tyson's face.

With a quick wave of the tail, the paint on Tyson's face suddenly vanished.

"Wow, Red Dragoon can get rid of make-up! Women are gonna love this!" Dunga exclaimed.

"Hey!" Hilary shouted.

"Not quite," Red Dragoon said. "I merely gave Tyson a glamour spell."

"Glamour?" Dunga asked.

"Don't be so dense, Dunga," Miriam replied. "Glamour magic alters a person's appearance."

"Indeed," Red Dragoon said. "Tyson can now walk amongst the public without drawing attention as the Dark Dragon. Now, I shall say farewell for now but call upon me again soon, Tyson, my friend."

"I will, my friend," Tyson answered as Red Dragoon vanished back into the black beyblade.

(Wildcard's hideout)

King and Queen were coming up with a plan to lure their shadowy nemesis, The Dark Dragon, out of the darkness. It was then that Dr. Kay entered the room.

"If it isn't my favorite parts thieves," she remarked.

"What the hell you want?" Queen asked.

"Nothing much," Dr. Kay replied. "But you two seem to be troubled by something. A certain Dark Dragon, perhaps?"

"Hell, yeah," King said. "That jackass killed Ace and Jack and we still don't know who the fuck he is."

"That is a problem, I must admit," Dr. Kay commented.

"I'll have a crack at him," Ten said.

"Sure and come back in a body bag," Dr. Kay stated.

"I'm serious!" Ten declared. "You want the problem fixed? Fangor and I will do the fucking job."

"Go ahead," King said.

"Yeah," Queen agreed. "Maybe you'll succeed where Ace and Jack failed."

"Wish me luck," Ten said before she left.

As Ten walked out the door, Queen said, "We should send someone to follow Ten so we can find out who the Dark Dragon is."

"What about the boy?" King suggested.

"We'll send him to follow Ten," Queen replied. "He'll bring the video camera with him, so we'll find out who the Dark Dragon really is."

"All right, once we get a good look at this so-called 'Dark Dragon', we'll know what kind of freak we're up against," King nodded.

(Hilary's house)

Hilary was powdering her nose in her bathroom. She went home to change her clothes for a date she planned for Tyson. Hilary put the finishing touchs on her face when she heard the doorbell ring.

"I'm coming!" Hilary shouted.

Hilary ran downstairs to the front door and opened it to see Tyson standing the near the door. Tyson wore a pair of khaki pants, a tight long sleeved black shirt, and his boots. Hilary resisted from letting out a lustful moan from her mouth.

"Hey, Hilary," Tyson greeted as he stared at Hilary's pink sun dress. "You look great."

Hilary blushed. "Thanks, Tyson. You don't look so bad yourself."

"Thanks. Mind if I come in?" Tyson asked with a smile.

"No, come in," Hilary replied as Tyson stepped into the house. "I'll be ready in a few minutes."

Tyson sat on the couch as Hilary ran back up stairs to the bathroom.

After five minutes of waiting, Hilary came back downstairs ready to go to town.

"Are you ready, my love?" Hilary asked.

"You know I am, sweetheart," Tyson replied.

"Ok, let's go," Hilary said.

Tyson escorted Hilary to the door and opened it for her. She walked out as her lover followed her and closed the door behind him. The first thing they did was going to the movies. They purchased some tickets for Batman Begins, bought popcorn, and headed into the theater.

Midway through the film, Hilary suddenly grabbed Tyson's hand. Tyson looked at Hilary and smiled. After Batman Begins was over, Tyson and Hilary decided what to do next.

"What to you wanna do next, Tyson?" Hilary asked as she clung onto Tyson's arm.

"I dunno," Tyson replied. "I was thinking we could head over to the park for a little while and talk."

"Ok," Hilary said.

Tyson and Hilary headed for the park but little do they know, they were being followed by a petite blond-haired girl clad in a white and black uniform.

(The park)

Tyson and Hilary arrived at the park sometime later. They strolled a little bit then sat down on a bench. Hilary put her head on Tyson's shoulder as she said, "I really had a good time with you, Tyson."

"Same here, love," Tyson said.

They stared into each other's eyes and smiled. They were both silent for a few moments until Hilary blurted out, "Tyson, kiss me."

"Say what?" Tyson exclaimed as he blushed.

"I want you to kiss me," Hilary replied.

Tyson's cheeks blushed even redder as his voice quivered, "Um...ok."

They both leaned forward and locked their lips together. Hilary slid her tongue into Tyson's mouth as she placed her right hand onto the back of Tyson's neck. It was certainly a magical moment for the both of them. Afterwards, they parted ways and smiled.

They both let out some giggles then kissed each other again but that soon died as a dark feminine voice said, "Oh, how cute."

Tyson turned his head to see a blond-haired girl in a white and black uniform appearing from the darkness of the forest.

"Who the fuck are you?" Tyson snarled.

"Aw, that's not nice to say," The blond-haired girl replied. "But since you are cute, I'll tell you my name. My name is Ten and I've come to take you down, Dark Dragon."

"What do you want with my Tyson?" Hilary added.

"It's simple, honey," Ten replied. "I'm here to get some payback for what your boyfriend did to my two friends."

"Jack and Ace?" Tyson deduced. "In my opinion, they deserved what they got."

"Really? Let's you and I settle this," Ten replied. "A beyblade battle. Right here, right now!"

Tyson withdrew his beyblade launcher, removed his beyblade from a pouch mounted on his upper arm, and attached the beyblade to the launcher. "Ready when you are."

"Ready to die, little boy?" Ten asked as she pulled out her purple blade and launcher from her pockets.

"I'm already dead," Tyson replied coldly as the glamour faded, allowing the demonic mask of red-and-black paint to be seen.

The bladers held their launchers out and grabbed their rip cords. There was a long stand-off until Tyson and Ten shouted, "3...2...1! Let it rip!"

As their blade disks spinned onto the ground, A red-haired kid carrying a video camera was watching the fight from within the shadows.

"Heh heh heh heh, gotcha," The red-haired kid said.

As the blades clanged into each other, Hilary cheered her lover on. "Yeah! Go, Tyson, go!"

Tyson smiled as Hilary cheered him on. However, Ten was getting fustrated. From the start of the battle, her blade was took some major punishment but now Ten was ready to take the fight to another level.

"Let's kick this up a notch!" Ten shouted. "Fangor, let's rock!"

As a beam of light burst its way out from the blade, a jackel-like bitbeast decked out in blue and purple armor appeared.

"Red Dragoon...come on out," Tyson said calmly.

Red and black light burst from the black disk as Red Dragoon materialized. Now round two of the fight begins.

"Fangor, destroy that waste of a bitbeast!" Ten shouted. "Saber Fang Bite!"

Fangor zoomed at Red Dragoon and bit him on the shoulder. This made Tyson cry out in pain.

"No! Tyson!" Hilary yelled in concern.

"Hmmm...it seems you and that dragon are linked," Ten deduced. "Fangor, bite Red Dragoon again!"

Meanwhile, the kid in the shadows saw Fangor biting Red Dragoon as he said, "King and Queen are gonna love this."

Fangor bit Red Dragoon again, this time on Dragoon's leg. Tyson let out a howl of pain as he fell down to one knee.

"Tyson!" Hilary screamed.

Ten smiled. "Face it, Dark Dragon, you lose. Now give up your little game of revenge and your death will be quick and painless."

"Never!" Tyson screamed as his eyes turned red. "Red Dragoon, let's take her down!"

Red Dragoon felt Tyson's rage as he let out a roar loud enough to shatter the sound barrier. Red Dragoon's claw glowed red as he slashed Fangor's armor. Fangor screamed as Red Dragoon delivered another slash to Fangor.

"Red Dragoon, let's wrap it up," the Dark Dragon said. "Hyper Hell Victory Twister!"

Red Dragoon bound Fangor with his serpant-like body and summoned a red and black tornado. Fangor struggled to escape but it was futile. Red Dragoon had Fangor wrapped up like a snake around a rat. Red Dragoon flew up the twister with Fangor in tow then spun around and released Fangor, sending the jackal bitbeast to his doom.

"No! Fangor!" Ten screamed.

"Hell Yeah! Kill the competition like a man on a mission, Dragoon!" Tyson remarked.

Fangor dematerialized and returned to Ten's blade. Red Dragon dematerialized and returned to Tyson's blade as well. The black blade returned to Tyson as he said, "You lose, blondie. Now you're gonna tell me where King and Queen is right now."

"Never, fuck face!" Ten declared. "Later!"

Ten bolted for the forest but the Dark Dragon suddenly appeared in front of her. Ten gasped as the Dark Dragon grabbed her by the coller of her uniform.

"You better tell me where King and Queen is now or I'll tear out your fucking throat!" Tyson demanded.

"All right, all right!" Ten quivered. "King and Queen's hideout is at..."

Ten suddenly went limp in Tyson's arms. Tyson noticed a dart sticking out of Ten's neck. He removed the dark from her neck and checked for a pulse...Ten was dead.

"God dammit...she's dead," Tyson said.

"Who killed her?" Hilary asked.

"I don't know but I'll find out," Tyson replied.

Tyson looked through his crow's eyes to see a red-headed kid carrying a video camera running the forest. Tyson's vision returned to him as his pet bird flew from the forest and cawed.

"Did you see anybody?" Hilary asked.

"I couldn't make out his face," Tyson replied. "But he has red hair and carrying a video camera."

"Are you gonna persue him?" Hilary asked.

"No," Tyson said. "Right now I wanna go home. I'll find that asshole next time."

Tyson laid Ten's body down then left the park with Hilary.

(Wild Card's lair)

King and Queen waited for three hours for Ten to return from her mission. The door opened but they didn't see Ten coming in, coming through the door was the boy sent to follow her.

"Hello, King and Queen," The boy greeted.

"You're back," Queen said. "Where's Ten?"

"I'm afraid she's dead," The boy replied. "I had no choice, she was gonna reveal our location to the Dark Dragon."

"She was useless anyway," King said. "Did you record the battle like we told you?"

"Yes," The red-headed boy replied while showing off the video camera to the Wildcard leaders. "I'll have it all right here."

King took the video camera from the boy. He opened the little screen on the leftside of the camera. King watched the whole battle. King gasped when he saw the boy wearing red and black make-up on his face fighting Ten.

"No fucking way!" King exclaimed. "The Dark Dragon is...Tyson Granger!"

"What? You have got to be shitting me!" Queen remarked. "We killed that kid a year ago!"

"No, he's alive," King said. "See for yourself."

Queen watched the little screen and was shocked.

"So he is alive," Queen said. "Tyson came back from the dead to get his revenge on us."

"Yes, but we won't give him that opportunity," King said. "Take a look at this."

Queen watched the part of the fight where Fangor bit Red Dragoon while Tyson clutched his shoulder.

"Hmm...it appears Tyson and Dragoon are linked," Queen said. "Whenever Red Dragoon is in pain, Tyson would feel it."

"We can use it to our advantage," King said.

"You did good, kid," Queen said. "You have exploited not only the Dark Dragon's identity but also showed us his weakness."

"Awesome!" the red-headed boy shouted.

"We got you now, Tyson," Queen said. "Soon, you will pay for interfering in our business."

To be continued...
