Chapter One: One Fourth of a Team

-EARTH-

Mr. White turned as he heard the portal from behind him. The portals pixilated lights faded to reveal Guren standing in the center with something clutched tightly in his fist. The red-head looked up at Mr. White with sad, pained eyes.

"What is it? Where is Ceylan?" he asked.

Guren gave Mr. White what he had in his hand. Mr. White gave Guren a sympathetic look as he gave it back to Guren. Guren excused himself and headed down to the pier. Mr. White just sighed and went to watch the replay of Guren's most recent battle. When he saw how the battle ended. Mr. White shut the screen off and just stared at the blank screen. "How can we cope if we are down to one knight…"


-EARTH-

Guren stood at the tip of the smallest deck at the Benham Pier, looking out into the ocean. First Chooki, then Toxsa, now Ceylan… I'm all alone now… Guren stared at the blue corebrick he had curled up in his hand. He let the tears roll down his cheek as he recalled the loss of his teammates. All at different times, places, and all gone in different ways…


-BEAST WORLD-

Scorpidon shot bright blasts at the knights as they ran ahead.

"Hurry up you guys!" shouted Venetta, "I can see the portal ahead!" Bravenwolf looked as well. He could see the portal ahead. Beag had already jumped in, and you could see him on the Quarton landscape on the other side. As Valorn and Tributon jumped in the portal, they were shooting at Scorpidon as he rushed toward the portal. Lydendor was behind him, trying to catch up.

"I will escape this prison, and then I will rule Quarton!" Screamed Scorpidon as he was a few feet from the portal. Braven, now on the other side, was watching as the portal began to slowly close.

"Come on Lydendor!" he yelled. Suddenly, he saw Scorpidon reach a claw through the portal and grip the knight's arm. The others were quickly by him, swatting at the scorpions claws as he threatened to exit on to Quarton. Until…..

"GAH!" Scorpidon went back into the portal to face Lydendor, who had thrown one of his stars into Scorpidon's tail. "YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT!"

The portal was getting smaller….

"Chooki what are you doing!"

"Stopping this giant pile of ugly!" Lydendor yelled from the other side. He could see Lydendor throw his other star at the beast. "Go on! Stop Villius! NOW!"

"But then you will….."

"JUST DO IT!"

And the last thing that the trio heard was a slice and a snap before the portal closed and they were left alone…. With Lydendor on the other side.

"Stop it Granox!" yelled Toxsa.

Granox was standing in front of a giant purple void, and had Toxsa's unconscious sister over his shoulder. "Why should I? Your sister will be forever trapped in the Darklands, and then the three knights will be two when you are too depressed to fight!" he let out a laugh as he prepared to throw Wakimei into the void. What happened next was a blur to Guren and Ceylan.

Toxsa ran into a surprised Granox, who dropped Wakimei onto the concrete. "No…." Guren gasped as the tackle sent Granox and Toxsa toppling into the void. Guren was frozen in shock as the portal closed, sealing the corrupted and the knight inside forever.

-QUARTON-

Villius slammed Guren onto the ground. Paralyzed, Guren could only sit frozen as Villius jumped into the sky, his staff lengthening, turning into a long, sharp sword the was glowing a deadly red. Villius dove toward the frozen knight, preparing to strike when….

"NO! CEYLAN!"

/

Guren quickly shoved the loss of the bluette out of his head. He still could not belive that one of his friends was trapped in Beast World at Scorpidon's mercy, one trapped with Granox in a unescapable dimension, and one….

Guren wiped his tears with his sleeve and rode his bike home.


Authors Note:

Me: Sorry that the stories were a bit short, but other chapters will be longer. What happened to Ceylan? Will Guren rescue his friends? Can they be rescued? I will expand Cey's story in a later chapter.
