บท 14: a long forgotten memory

"Lay."i don't like it when two Blader's talk to much during a battle"

"Lay."we've been talking a lot, not just us but all these new blader's have, and it's kinda pissin me of"

"Lay."so word of advice. Limit your words"

"Yuo."sure, talking to has been a pain"

*..... *silence...

"Yuo.'i don't think it has been mentioned but blossoming cobra is actually a defense type, but it's attack power rivals that of void Dragon helmut, fuck... i see no way of beating him while we're on equal footing, even our imagination is basically balanced, at a glance this system may seem like total advantage but if you really think about it this whole domain revolves around balance so why would your imagination exceed the other person's that would be a total imbalance in it's construct, dammit i fooled myself'

"Yuo.'wh-what am i missing, i trained so hard to build myself up to where i am now, I've built my foundation around my ego, i had drilled the concept that i am the strongest Blader in the world into my ego. and it helped a great deal, but that ego is still that of when i was a child ??! That's it. I-I remember now when i was kid me and lay used to play pretend beyblade i always had this feeling that i was being observed by intrigued eyes but the strange thing was it wasn't coming from the ground but rather from the sky, and there was this one time in particular that me and lay was going at it and he had the upper hand which was frustrating cause i was always the one that had the upper hand, everyone knows it's harder to be the one at the top then being the one climbing to the top. So i was overcome by my emotions, worry, anger, loss, jealousy, greed, in that moment all my emotions smashed into each other creating a new emotion well i don't now what the emotion was but next thing you knew i just started blurting out everything that came to mind'

"Yuo.'and this unknown emotion right now i recognize it...

*crack...

"Lay.'?'

"Yuo."fuck this domain"

*crack...

"Yuo."i-don't need it!"

"Lay."are you sure you're not going to lose?"

"Yuo."I'll loose than just rebuild on that loss, I'll win than just feed my ego, we'll draw than I'll just grow my mind, my bey will break I'll just rebuild it even better than before, my muscles will go stiff I'll just discard that lime, my arms will break I'll just use my mouth"

"Yuo."because I'm the god danm center of everything, me, yuo, I've never struggled so much in my life against just one man, golden energy huh. I could give less of a fuck i don't care who you got your power from lay it could be god you might as well be a protagonist from some novel. Me is what i see in the seat of god, not god, me lay me!!"

*crack... *burst

[>"A GOLDEN GOD IS AMUSED BY YUO"<]

[>"A ANGELES COVERED IN ICE BREAKS OUT IN LAUGHTER AT ALL THE GODS"<]

[>"A HOLLOW GOD DESIRES YUO'S EMOTIONS"<]

A light cold sweat befell lay in this moment. The current yuo reminded him of the yuo back then all though they had no beyblades to play with it didn't stop them from playing it nonetheless, they were so emerged in the battle that they could actually see a real battle able to now who lost and who won and on one particular day lay was close to beating yuo which happens rarely. Yuo struggled so much that he began shouting not cursing at lay but shouting about how this can't happen and he sould win and that he wants this knew found strenght that lay has but then he just suddenly took a complete 180 and started shouting about how he was the center of all and that he was not meant to lose and so on. Lay saw it in yuo's eyes, there was not a hint of doubt nor falsehood, a child of his age is not supposed to be this intense this was a look of a child who truly believes his the center of everything, but shortly after their battle that part of yuo just-disapeared Lay's theory was that yuo just never found a situation as intense as in the past as he always beats his foes without a sweat now lay has resparked that feeling.

*gulp...

"Lay.'scary. that one time he also acted like this i didn't like battling him'

"Yuo."so, the center of everything has attracted the attention of gods and angels, unfortunately your attention is worth nothing to me not even a second thought"

[>"A ANGEL COVERED IN ICE IS DRAWN TO YUO"<]

[>"A GOLDEN GOD FINDS YUO'S EXISTENCE UNPLEASANT"<]

[>"A HOLLOW GOD IS INFATUATED WITH YUO'S EXISTENCE"<]

"Yuo."now lay, i will limit nothing, now that the domain is no longer a hindrance i will discard balance for the sake of my ego no my will no-it's not even that i just want to. Hah ha hahaha
