Sweet notes: I’m worried I’m the only one following the storyline here. With Kai sensing Tyson was in danger, think of it as a chill a married couple might get when something bad happens… a lot of people are sensitive to that kind of thing. Secondly, thanks to all the reviewers!!! I really appreciate it! Special thanks the Chibi-chan, for reviewing every chapter. Er, this chapter might make the last one make more sense.
Warnings: Yaoi, shounen-ai, Kai x Tyson. A bit of humour. Lemon. A tad psychological… but think about it, if I can read it and comprehend it… how much trouble do you expect? Also AU Sci-fi.
Disclaimer: If I owned Beyblades I would also own the sun, the moon, the stars and everything inbetween. So we can declude that I do not, in fact own Beyblades … or… *sob* the bishounen from it.

Losing: Chapter ten, The awakening.

Max opened his eyes slowly, blood pulsing through his body at an alarming rate, his head aching, probably from when he had hit the floor. A loud groan from next to him made him turn his head.
"Shit… you too Tyson?" It hurt to talk; a thick metal thing around his neck was almost chocking him. Max coughed a few times.
"What the hell hit us?"
Max finally managed to sit up and rubbed his eyes. "I don’t know… it was scary."
"I didn’t see it Max."
"How come."
"It got me," Tyson paused to gag slightly. "By surprise. I just looked ahead and the next thing I know something hits me in the head… god, I can barely think straight."
Max looked around, unsure of where they were. The room was grey with an orange ceiling; it didn’t seem to have any door to enter through. Upon closer inspection he saw hinges on one of the grey walls, but no door handle. So it was a one way door. The light in the room was coming from a shiny panel right above them.
"I… I think we’re in a holding cell of some kind." The blonde haired pure human commented.
"No shit Sherlock. You know whose fault this is?"
"No I don’t Tyson. I don’t think its anyones fault, the ship was attacked at random."
"Oh no, don’t you even think about standing up for that asshole! Its Kai’s fault! I know it is!"
"Tyson! What have you got against Kai? He’s been nothing but nice to everyone! He barely talks and he saved us from being destroyed with the rest of Earth."
"Nice? NICE? The son of a bitch wants to rape me, how can you call that nice?" Tyson glared, where he thought Max was, after all, Max was looking a bit blurry. In a bit of an undertone he added. "Besides, Earth isn’t destroyed yet."
Max looked at Tyson in alarm. "Rape you? What the hell are you talking about?"
"He keeps touching me and he’s kissed me twice now! That and he told me what he was going to do to me!"
Max blinked. "That doesn’t sound like rape, that sounds like very, very, very old fashioned dating."
Tyson twitched, rather annoyed that Max had to wave his hands around like that, and it made it hard to concentrate. "Stop waving your hands when you talk… I’m having enough trouble as it is." Tyson gripped the side of his head. "Oh sure, take his side. He tells me that AFTER he started the whatimagiji!"
"The whatimagiji?"
"Yeah… you know… Moonain dating…"
Max blinked, watching as Tyson almost fell over from sitting up and steadied himself. Tyson didn’t look so good, his eyes were un-focused and his skin was pale. Max felt like shit, but Tyson looked like he had a concussion. "What, you mean he started the Experience with you and then after he’d done it he told you?"
"Yes!" Tyson shivered slightly, little grey dots kept popping up randomly across his site.
Max frowned, shuffling across so Tyson could lean on him, which the black haired boy did, heavily. "But why would he do something like that… I guess… I guess your right, that is akin to rape… but barely for Moonain standards. But their rules are far more different after all they have to compensate for interspecies dating with a lot of cultures, and in some cultures rape is just normally how it goes."
"Different… rules?" Tyson yawned.
Max jostled the black haired boy. "Don’t fall asleep on me Tyson… for one thing, your heavy, but it might not be a good idea, I think you have a concussion."
"Kaaay."
"Anyway, yeah, their rules are a lot different to ours, for one thing, Kai even dating you with permission would be like being a paedophile in our books."
"Why’s that? He’s only a few years older then us."
"Yes, a few hundred years older then us."
Tyson blinked and shook his head. "Sorry Max, I must have dozed off, I thought you just said Kai was a few hundred years older then us!"
Max laughed. "No Tyson, you weren’t dreaming, that’s what I said."
Tyson ground his teeth together. "Why that old, lying, horrible conniving son of a bitch when I get my hands on him I’ll…" He made strangling motions with his hands while Max laughed.
"Seriously Tyson! But it doesn’t matter in Moonain law."
Tyson paused mid strangle. "What?"
"Because their race lives a lot longer then a few other races they don’t need to worry about that kind of thing. It usually doesn’t affect relationships between interspecies."
"Then… if it’s not rape and its not underaged…"
"I guess he’s fine."
"But that’s just not fair!"
"By his standards it is."
"But…"
"I’m afraid you’ve lost. I guess you’ll just have to have sex with him at some point."
"GAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
Max laughed a bit. "It can’t be that bad Tyson."
"Bad? NO it’s not bad at all. ITS HORRIBLE! How can you make it sound so simple!"
"Because it is Tyson. You’ll have to have sex with him either way. If you can’t avoid it, let it happen and do your best."
"Do my best? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT?"
"I know that it would be futile to struggle since the only way to get out of the Experience is to do it."
Tyson screamed in pure turmoil before taking a deep breath. "Max, I don’t think you’re quite grasping the wholllle picture."
"Kai wants to have sex with you so he triggered the Experience with you, but he didn’t tell you till after he’d done it even though its not illegal."
"Yes, but look at it from MY point of view."
Max bit his lip. "Some alien turned around and made a few passes at you before telling you he’d fiddled with your head and now you would have to have sex with him or every time he touched you, you’d get really weak and feel like collapsing." Max shrugged. "But Tyson, all you have to do is have sex with him and it should go away."
Tyson groaned. "That’s the problem Max."
"What… you don’t want to have sex with him? Doesn’t he appeal to you?" Max raised a blonde eyebrow. "The man practically drips with lusty thoughts and you’re not the least bit turned on."
"GAAHH!! MAX, that’s not my problem! Sure, he’s sexy and probably has hundreds of admirers! But I can’t have sex with him because I’m…" Tyson paused, a bright red blush spreading up his face at what he’d just said, glad that the object of discussion wasn’t reading his thoughts right now, or he hoped so at least. How embarrassing would it be to let Kai know Tyson thought he was attractive?
"You’re what?" Max asked, poking Tyson in the shoulder. This was fun, Tyson looked like he wanted to explode.
Tyson mumbled something underneath his breath.
"Speak up Tyson, I can’t hear you."
"I’m… a…a… virgin."
There was a moment in which Tyson held his breath watching Max’s face. Then Max started laughing.
"A virgin? Hahahahaha, good one Tyson! Hehehe, for I moment there I actually thought you were…" Max got a look at Tyson’s face and felt his eyes go wide.
"Your SERIOUS?"
Tyson nodded softly, blushing bright red.
"You haven’t even touched yourself?"
Tyson shook his head.
Max was at a loss for words. "No shit."
They sat in somewhat stunned silence for a few minutes.
"So… you don’t like guys?" Max finally asked.
Tyson shrugged. "How should I know. I know what sex is I know the mechanics… but I’ve never seen it, never, touched myself, and never heard it. I think the worst I’ve ever seen is a picture of two people kissing… and that was like a day or two ago."
Max scratched his head. "That’s kind of innocent Tyson."
"Oh gods, please don’t go there. Kai told me that when he threw me on the bloody shuttle."
"So he knows you’re a virgin?"
"Not exactly."
"Explain."
"I think he was suggesting to have sex and I didn’t get it and well… he told me that was so innocent, the way I was acting."
"Ohhh."
They sat in silence for a while.
It was unnaturally quiet.
Very quiet.
In fact, it was quiet, and so boring, that Tyson started to fall asleep again. Max jumped when he realised the soft rhythmic breathing was sleep... from Tyson. Sighing he jostled the boy awake.
"Don’t fall asleep! Do you WANT brain damage?"
"Kaaayy."
Max sighed.
"You know, I don’t know why anyone would want to date you, you’re so… so…"
Max rolled his hand around in the air, searching for an appropriate word. He was cut off when the door suddenly opened.
Tyson and Max gasped, huddling close to each other at the site that greeted them.

Crimson eyes narrowed dangerously. "In THAT direction you say?"
"Correct."
Kai frowned and slammed his hand on the panel. "I can not believe this day!" He brushed his hair away from his face in frustration.
"I will take the best ship and get them back."
"Course of action is not recommended, chances of safe retrieval alone are slim."
"I will take a medic and the star destruction."
There were some murmurs amongst the crew as they heard the ambassador announce the second ship.
"Star destruction is not safe for piloting by full bio-organiod."
"Ray can pilot it just fine."
"… Course of action is suitable."
"Of course it is."
"Estimated time, six hours. Estimated retrieval time, 13 hours. Estimated damages, medium. Estimated death toll to Moonain side, nil."
"Good enough. Everyone! Listen up, I want Oliver and Michael to come with Ray and myself. Oliver and Ray, you will be going in the star destruction. Michael, you shall be coming with me in the fighter ship."
"Kai-san… are you sure you want me to pilot the star destruction? I do not think I will be very good at it." Ray spoke up.
Crimson eyes narrowed. "You are the only one I trust at my back who can pilot anything decently. You will do fine." The Moonain’s tone of voice left no room for discussion. Ray swallowed and nodded.
"I will make sure there is storage room in both ships. EVERYONE GET MOVING!"
People scrambled about, prepping whatever it was they had to do and fixing as much as possible. There were six people reported taken, four of which were pure humans. It was vital to get them all back.
~ ~ ~
Tyson stumbled slightly, leaning against Max for support as he was yet again pushed forward.
"Hurry up." Came the strange furry thing’s voice, it was obvious it was being translated into English so they could understand. It poked Max in the back with its metal stick, pushing the blonde human forward. The humans and furry thing were walking down a long, huge corridor. Though the size of the furry thing made the corridor look positively cramped.
Tyson, if it was possible, looked in even worse shape from the walking then he had before. The thing seemed oblivious to this fact, which made Max’s blood boil.
"He’s hurt! You stupid… thingy! He can barely concentrate and expecting him to walk is just cruel!" The blonde turned, yelling at the thing.
Tyson leaned against a wall, eyes glazed over with the sheer effort of staying up. His stomach felt about ready to throw its contents out if he kept going.
"Move." The thing said. Slapping Max forward with one of its giant hands. Max fell to the ground, a large gash opening on the side of his face.
Blood welled down his cheek and blue eyes the colour of the sea narrowed dangerously.
"Max… it’s okay… nhn, really. I’m fine. Besides… if things get too bad… got the A.I’s on us… d…don’t we?" Tyson shuddered, one hand crossing his stomach in an effort not to throw up. The world was spinning.
Max got back up, dusting his clothing off. "Yeah. Sure Tyson." He glared at the thing before slipping an arm around Tyson’s waist, letting the boy lean on him. Blood still trickling down his cheek.
The Beastial grunted, these soft things were taking so much time… and they looked a bit too weak to be good harem slaves. Oh well, they looked edible.
Moving down the long corridor the trio soon came to a door, the Beastial used the translator to tell them to stop walking and opened the door with a security pass. He turned, picked the boys up and literally threw them inside.
The door shut closed behind them.
Max groaned as he got up, his vision swimming before everything returned to normal.
Tyson was unmoving, and only the erratic rise and fall of his chest told Max the black haired boy was breathing.
This was not a good time.
"That’s it. I’ve had it!" Blue eyes narrowed and Max, flicked the little red button on his watch.
~ To be continued…
Sweet notes: Lol… I can’t wait to see what we think the little red button does. Actually, I think people might come close to getting it… *shrugs* another thing… Tyson got the concussion when he was first hit… like, right in the head. In case anyone wasn’t sure. ^^ I’m looking for 92 reviews before the next chapter goes up. ^^
. Glossary.
Upper level: The upper level of the world, pretty much a whole bunch of really tall buildings (think 80-200 storeys) with air ways, a place where most of the pure humans live.
Lower level: the real earth, beaches, and parks junk yards. Few pure humans live down here. It is overrun with non-humans.
Pure: otherwise called, ‘pure humans’ these are people with no genetic implants, no biological altering, no technology inside them at all. They are dwindling in numbers.
Genetics: people who were grown in test tubes basically, they vary in design and powers usually better at things then normal humans. Some people are altered after birth to become genetics; they usually live short lives.
Virtual holographs: Pretty much walking ghosts, they have no real substance and are only brainwaves coming from computers.
Cyborg: Most humans are either cyborg or genetic, cyborg being made of various metals, some cyborg never were human to start with, others are altered to a point they no longer are. They are pretty much robots. (Think the Borg… if you watch StarTrek)
Flesh collectors: cyborg made machines. Most cyborg get into fights and have their flesh ripped up, as they are incapable of regrowing this skin, they require new skin. This is what the Flesh collectors do. They find skin. Dead or alive is not important.
Moonain: A mysterious race of humanoid aliens. Said to be an ambassador of these people on earth. They resemble the Human Angel, and it is speculated that they have come to earth many times. They neither confirm nor deny this accusation. They have giant angel wings and are never directly seen unless the Human government has trades with them. They live on the far side of Neptune and refuse to allow a colony of more then four hundred humans to share their side of Neptune. They are incredibly mysterious. Most humans only ever see them once or twice on TV or in books. They seem to enjoy human media and allow any and all kind of writings or movies with their kind in them. They do not appear to have any children in their race, and refuse to explain why. Despite their similar structure to humans they are said to be very different mentally.
Hover board: A floating skateboard.
Insectiod domination: Several planets in different universes are controlled by large insectiod aliens which are extremely aggressive, Earth was once a prime spot for domination due to its large amount of food (humans) luckily the Moonain have easily fought off all attacks on Earth and the surrounding solar system.
Beastial warfare: Animal like aliens who seek to conquer other planets by using the animals already on it. There is a protective shield around Earth due to an incident in 1986, which almost escalated beyond control.
The Experienced: The Moonain version of dating. Not much is know about it’s effects on other races.
