do you guys ever wonder how devastated Professor Granville must’ve been after Obake’s accident at SFIT? She obviously blames herself for a decent chunk of it, if not the entire accident. Like, it fucked her up so badly she felt her only choice was to take the fall for it and straight-up resign, even though she obviously loved teaching and loved her other students besides Obake. Do you think she saw herself as more of a parent/really involved mentor role to him rather than a professor? Because I think so.
And then Hiro made the exact same thing that Obake made, it must’ve torn her apart all over again to see her new prodigy, her new protégé who she had been trying to teach limits to because she now knows how important they are, go down the same exact path that Obake did 20 years ago. Like, I am imagining her pain right now, her fear, the sense of failure that she hadn’t been able to save Obake and now she couldn’t save Hiro either (and I have low empathy so it’s SAYING something that I can imagine her pain). And then Hiro lies to her and says he won’t make the amplifier, and she’s relieved, like, maybe she’s actually saved him. Maybe he won’t make Obake’s mistakes
But then of course Hiro actually makes the amplifier and breaks her heart all over again. Also adult Obake showing up and messing with her, pushing the exact button to just destroy this poor woman (“you made me the man I am today”). Like damn, Professor Granville NEVER gets a break in this show.. someone needs to write a fic where she’s happy for once.

The End is Nigh: Chapter 1
the Mango tree swayed with a gentle breeze, as if gently fanning the young blue haired boy lying underneath it, his open hairs sprawled across the grass. Dressed in a simple white polo tee and dark blue jeans, Tyson Granger laid underneath the mango tree with closed eyes, thinking about who knew what, his dark blue hairs sprawled across the grass, not have grown longer. It was all until his reverie was broken by the footsteps, when he turned his head and peeked one eye open to see Kai- wait, KAI?
He sat up with such speed, that he nearly cracked his neck but thankfully didn't, and his hairs fell down like cascade of waterfall, reaching his waist length. "Hey Kai!" He chimed. It had been two years since the fall of BEGA. After the Battle with Brooklyn, he had nearly collapsed when Kai had held him- just like he did when Kai collapsed after his Battle with Brooklyn- and had taken the tanned Granger boy to Hospital, looking out for the young Dragoon wielder and filling up papers until his Team and Elders arrived. It was Tyson who had persuaded him to make amends with his Father, and Kai finally relented after being pestered for two months.
These two years changed everything between Kai and Tyson. Three months after the fall of BEGA, Kai had surprisingly turned up at Tyson's doorstep. It was because Misaki had to go out for a month, and Kai was hesitant to stay at his Father's, thus he found himself at Dojo's entrance. To say that the said month wasn't eventful would be a blatant lie. While Daichi and Tyson's constant arguments and banters riled him up the wall always, a cup of black coffee without sugar always appeared in front of him, Grandpa Granger smiling gently at the dual haired boy. Their combined training strengthened the bond they had, which tightened more whenever Max and Ray joined them.
And Kai will always believe in one thing, that the only Rival he wants to beat is Tyson, and he won't accept being beaten by anyone who isn't Tyson.
"Hey Tyson, how you doing?" He asked flopping beside the boy, who had pulled his hairs up in a ponytail. "I'm doing fine. You say! How come you are here today?" Tyson asked.
"I'm... I'm here to ask you about your plans for Tournament." He asked looking away, making Tyson's grin fall. "I haven't really thought about it..." Tyson looked away, feeling still a little off. As much as he tried to be cool about it, his friends leaving him two years ago was something which left a emotional scar. "I don't know if I will Battle or not, these will be Best of Three Tournaments.. And I really don't have a team. I don't know if you, Max and Ray will join me or not.." He said silently, not looking at Kai making Kai's back tense.
Kai knew he had hurt Tyson more than Ray and Max did after leaving him to have a chance against him, and did that again by joining BEGA. He didn't knew what to make of it. He never knew why Tyson easily accepted him back- as if he KNEW Kai will return to them. His thoughts were jumbled when he saw Dranzer beside Tala's pillow in Hospital, but he was more than overwhelmed. When he returned and all the teams were against him joining, it was Ray, Max, Tyson, Kenny, Hilary and even Daichi who supported him. Except, Ray tore him in a new one all while fussing around him and his wounds, with Daichi egging him up, Hilary giving him a disapproving side eye, and Max and Tyson knew better to stay shut up, but they were relieved when he came back.
"I... Why did you accepted me back?" He asked quietly, and sighed when Tyson didn't get what he meant. "After whole BEGA fiasco and me leaving you all and joining BEGA, why did you accepted me?" He asked and Tyson sighed softly, putting a hand at his shoulder. "My Grandpa used to say, 'Those who leave return, no matter where they are.' He strongly believed you will return, and asked us to prepare hard for battle. Also, you are a Friend. This happens in Friendship." Tyson said, giving a big Tyson-like grin to Kai who looked struck.
He didn't knew whether to punch Tyson for nearly hugging him or thank him for his words and believing him.
"So... you didn't ask them?" Kai said after swallowing thickly. Tyson blinked before his eyes widened with a grin. "Wait- I will just call them!" Tyson said and bounded inside his house, soon returning with his phone and texting furiously. "Max, Kenny and Hil are coming here." Tyson said Kai groaned internally. "Hilary will go apeshit with training regime. I still remember how disastrous her first regime was." He groaned, flopping on his back and making Tyson laugh. "What about B-Boys? Are they joining tournament?" Tyson asked flopping down beside Kai, mirroring his stance by putting his hands behind his head and crossing one leg over other, making his foot hit Kai's foot which was facing his foot.
"Yeah," Kai said in a dry tone, hitting Tyson back. "Oh that will be so cool! How is he, Sergei and Bryan? Especially after BEGA ordeal?" Tyson asked, hitting him back playfully which led Kai to hit him back as playfully. "They are doing fine. Ian told me about how surprisingly one day Garland had turned at their doorstep with others and apologised. Though it ended quiet disastrously with Bryan losing his shit, Tala, Bryan and Sergei took good amount of revenge." Kai said and after a thought, added. "Don't ask me what they did. Bryan is hot headed and Tala's a little shit." He said and Tyson burst into a laugh.
"That sounds hilarious, I will ask them." Tyson laughed as they hit each other's foot back and forth playfully. And that's how when Max arrived with a cheery grin, his grin faltered into a confused smile as he saw Tyson and Kai having a full blown foot-fight.
