Foreva Friends
(Don't own Beyblade)Chapter 22-
Tyson groaned as he began to stir from his unconsciousness. Slowly he opened his eyes and stared hazily at the sky above him waiting for his sight to return to normal. Blinking a few times he tried to remember what had happened. Slowly he lifted himself up, groaning as pain shot through his body, he glanced around noticing he was still in a forest. 'Where am I? Where is everyone else?' he thought to himself. Pulling himself up he glanced around again to see if anyone else was there, "Kai, Tala, guys!! Where are you?" he called out. Getting no answer he decided to venture forward in search of them.

Ray opened his eyes slowly and noticed he was in a bed, 'Where am I and what happened?" he thought to himself. Slowly he tried to sit up against the headboard but winced as he felt pain through his leg.
"You shouldn't move you've been injured quite severely" a red headed girl stated sincerely.
Ray obeyed and lay down again, "Who are you, and where am I?"
"My name is Salima, I found you unconscious a few blocks away and brought you here so I could treat your wounds. What's your name?" the girl replied.
"I'm Ray. Are any of my friends here?"
Salima shook her head, "No, You were the only one there, I didn't see anyone else. What happened?"
Ray sighed sadly and told her what had happened.
"Oh that's terrible, how could someone do something like that. You'll be safe here, I'll make sure that no one finds out your here."
"I can't stay; I have to find my friends"
"You can't leave, your still hurt, tell me what your friends look like and I'll keep and eye out for them, you're not going to be able to get out of bed for at least a week with your injuries." Salima insisted.
Ray sighed, "Ok, thank you."
Salima smiled softly, "Your welcome, now what do your friends look like?"

Max stood up on wobbly legs as he glanced around his surroundings. "Well this isn't the forest, it looks like some sort of construction site." he said to himself quietly. Slowly moving forward he decided to see if some one was around.
"Hello, is anyone here?"
Getting no reply he decided to look around a little more. There were a few trucks, sheets of metal, wood, pipes and tools lying around. 'It looks like someone was here not long a go, maybe if I wait around here they'll come back' he thought to himself as he kept walking through the site.
About an hour later Max decided to take a break and sat down on the ground in the shade of one of the trucks. 'I wonder where everyone is?' he thought. Suddenly he heard distant voices.
He got up and wondered towards the voices; "Hello, is someone there?" he called once again.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" a man in a yellow uniform asked.
"I'm Max, and I don't know how I got here. I'm looking for my friends, have you seen anyone around my age around?" Max replied
The man thought for a moment, "Does one of them have red hair and pale skin?"
Max's eyes widened, "Yes, that's Tala, do you know where he is?"
The man nodded, "Follow me, your friends in the workers quarters"
Max nodded and followed quietly behind the man.
They soon arrived at the quarters.
The man opened the door, "Your friend is right down the hall, third door on the left. Tell the guard that Liam sent you."
Max nodded, "Thank you sir." He replied before heading to his destination.
Upon arriving he explained to the guard, whom let him pass.
There on the workers bed was Tala, his right arm bandaged up.
Max walked over to him, "Tala, hey wake up."
Tala stirred and opened his eyes slowly, "Ma..x…?"
Max smiled, "Yeah it's me. Are you alright?"
Tala groaned a little, "Just a little tired and sore. What about you? Where's everyone else?"
Max sighed, "I'm fine; I don't know where everyone else is. I'm sure they're alright though"
Tala sat up, "We should look for them, Tyson will still be weak from using his powers" he explained.
"We will, but not right now, you need to rest, we'll leave in the morning" Max replied.
Tala agreed and lied back down, sleep over coming him.

Kai stumbled forward through the semi deep snow drifts, looking for his friends or any sign of life. He brought his hands close to his body, trying to forget the pain that pulsated through them. They had been burnt during his fire attack on the robot dragon and the flesh was now peeling and blistering.
Still he trudged on.
As time went on the winds began to pick up. Bits of snow and ice flew every where.
Kai had to squint as to try and see where he was going. Being blinded by the snow and ice he didn't see the slop ahead of him and slid down the steep descent.
Groaning he lifted himself up onto his hands and knees, wincing as the cold snow bit at his burnt hands. He glanced up and noticed that there was someone up ahead covered in snow.
He quickly scrambled over to them and began to dig the snow away.
"Hiro!" he tried to call out, but his voice was quiet and hoarse; his throat was dry and sore.
He noticed the huge gash on Hiro's forehead and a few smaller ones scattered on his arms and upper body.
Without thinking he automatically checked for a pulse. He found one but it was very faint. 'I hope someone finds us soon' he thought to himself as he pulled Hiro from the open into a little cove like area surrounded by trees. There he sat resting against one of the trees and waited.
Night soon fell; the weather became calmer but colder.
Kai wrapped him arms around himself trying to keep warm as his eyes slowly drooped shut.
"Hello, is anyone out there?!" a voice called
Kai stirred but didn't wake.
Suddenly and huge thump was heard, followed by a groan.
Kai shot up at the sound and stood up to investigate.
Walking over to the huge pile of snow that was now in front of him, he heard the groan again, coming from the inside.
Quickly he began to dig away the snow.
"KAI!!" The boy exclaimed jumping out of the snow to embrace the older boy.
"Tyson" Kai replied hoarsely, returning the hug.
Tyson began to cry happily, "Oh Kai, I was so scared, I thought I'd never find anyone, I hate being by myself"
Kai closed his eyes, "Shh, it's ok"
Tyson sniffed and slowly released from the embrace. He noticed Kai's hands, "What happed to your hands?"
"They were burnt when I attacked the dragon" He explained.
Tyson's eyes widened, "You used fire to attack the dragon…you used Dranzers powers?"
"I don't know, I didn't mean too, I was angry at the robot and it all just kind of happened at once, it's all kinda blurry."
Tyson sighed, "That's ok, Tala will help you summon your powers, and it won't hurt your hands. Do you know where anyone else is?"
Kai sighed sadly, "Yeah, Hiro's over by those trees, he's unconscious though, and he needs to go to a hospital."
Tyson ran over to his brother and dropped down beside him.
Kai followed behind watching as Tyson inspected his older brother.
"His lips are turning blue; if we don't get him warmed up he might not make it"
Tyson's eye widened before he quickly removed his jacket placing it over Hiro's upper body. "This won't help much, we need to get a fire started" he stated as he started to collect some wood.
Kai watched Tyson and sighed, "How are we supposed to start a fire without matches or a lighter?"
Tyson dropped the pile of wood, "You can start it by using Dranzers power"
"You know that I don't know how to use it"
Tyson walked up to Kai and dragged him over to the pile of wood, "I'll help you, now sit"
Kai sighed but obeyed, sitting in front of the wood.
"Okay, first you need to clear your mind, you have to concentrate on Dranzers power, feel the power swirl through your body and embrace it" Tyson explained
Kai flinched as flames flickered around his body.
"That's it Kai, become one with Dranzer"
Kai opened his eyes, a red orange light enveloped the cove.
Tyson smiled, "That's it you've got it, now use the power to start the fire"
Kai lifted his hand over the pile of wood and blasted a small fire ball enlightening the wood, before he became tired and fell back into the snow.
"Kai!" Tyson cried, crawling over to the teen, "Are you okay?"
The older teen opened his eyes and groaned, "It…hurts"
The navy haired teen checked over Kai's body, burn marks were scattered over his arms and clothes. "Oh god, I'm so sorry, here, I'll put some snow on them. Does that help any?"
Kai nodded weakly.
Half an hour later Tyson had finished tending to Kai's wounds and the two of them where sitting by the fire with Hiro laying not to far away.
Tyson shivered for the thousandth time as he begun to rub at his arms in an attempt to warm himself.
Kai sighed and stood up, moving closer to Tyson. "Here, this'll help a little"
He sat down next to Tyson and wrapped his scarf around the boys shoulders, "Lean back against me"
Tyson nodded and lent back against Kai.
The older teen wrapped his arms around the younger teens shoulders, "Better?"
Tyson nodded, "Thanks" he whispered
Kai smiled, "It's the least I could do after hurting you"
Tyson sighed, "It's not your fault"
"How can you say that after I tried to steal your bitbeast"
"You were being brainwashed, you didn't know any different, it was how you were brought up. What's important is that you made your own choice and broke away."
"That wouldn't of happened if I hadn't of met you, I would have still been a pawn in Voltaire's plan"
Tyson smiled and shook his head, 'I had nothing to do with it; you're a good person Kai, with a good heart, no one can ever take that from you"
Kai intertwined his fingers with Tyson's. "I'm so lucky to have you as a friend; you're the most amazing person I have ever met"
Tyson blushed, "That's not true I'm just like everyone else"
"No you're far from it; you care about everyone else before yourself, you're forgiving and you're the first to jump in and help someone out. I don't know what I would do if you weren't here, you're the most important person in my life and I think that I…"
Tyson shifted so he could face Kai, "You what?"
They inched closer together, "I l.--"
"HEY IS ANYONE OUT THERE?"
