Wow! I am actually trying to write a serious fic! Can I do it? Probably not, but I'll give it a shot.
Future Hope
(Misty Voice Over Voice: It has been five years since the Bladebreakers won the World Tournament, assuming that they do win because the author hasn't seen that far. Ray has returned to his hometown when suddenly strange things start happening and humanoid robots start to appear and cause havoc. What will happen? Read on...)
"Oh no! He's gaining on us!"
"We can't let him catch up to us Ray!"
"I know Mariah, but we're fighting a losing battle here! We already know that they have powers superior to ours!"
Ray and Mariah panted as they ran, it seemed like their legs had been set on fire, when suddenly they spotted the familiar building.
"Sharp left!" yelled Ray as they ran into the building. The humanoid looking monster that was chasing them was apparently pretty dim although powerful. It began searching the area. Ray grabbed Mariah and held her close to him, as if protecting her from the danger should it come. Eventually the thing gave up and moved on. Ray breathed a sigh of relief and slowly released Mariah from his grasp. She shuddered, still frightened that it would return. Mariah suddenly felt Ray's hand slip into hers. She clutched it tightly, and Ray whispered in her ear, "Let's go home". She nodded gratefully and started running back towards their hideout.
Ray sat on the edge of the bed, where Mariah was sleeping. They were in a cavern underground, with all the usual furnishings of a home. It had been that way ever since the humanoid monsters had attacked. No one knew where they had come from or how they had gotten there but their path of destruction had left China devastated, however most of the other countries of the world seemed to be holding their own, mainly because they had been warned of the coming danger. He sighed, poor Mariah, the rest of her family were the first to fall victim to the creatures- no wonder she was afraid of them. She had been close to death when he found her, and he and nursed her back to health and now she helped him. She also gave him that feeling inside that only a person that is very special to you can give. They would have escaped too, if it weren't for those stupid laws…
The rules were set by all the countries of the world- no one went in or out. The Bladebreakers were in Japan, so they couldn't help, and the rest of the White Tigers had disappeared after the initial reaction to the creatures- panic. He and Mariah had fled to the underground, afraid for their own safety after realizing they couldn't escape. However, the few thousand left in China after the others had either fled or been killed had formed a sort of allegiance to defeat the monsters. He and Mariah were a part of this group, so they had to go out and attempt to destroy the machines- even if it was impossible- no effective weapon had yet been formulated. He sighed, it was hopeless to resist the inevitable. He noticed the clock- 4 O'clock, time for another raid. He really didn't want to wake Mariah, but shook her gently, just enough to wake her.
"Ugh... what's wrong Ray?"
"We have to go again."
"What's the point? It's hopeless."
"I know, but when we decided to sign up to this little group we promised we would do everything we could to help."
"I suppose you're right..." muttered Mariah as she started to get dressed.
Ray stared at their bit beasts, which were sitting on the dresser. He sighed as he remembered their old life, but shook it off. 'You can't change the past, there's no point in pining over it...' he thought.
'So far so good...' thought Ray. They had managed to infiltrate the first line of defence in the place that the creatures used as a base. He had often pondered why they had made in such an isolated location such as their hometown. Mariah thought it was because it was easier to hide from attackers. They planned to steal power components to help them rebuild the society that the machines had destroyed. 'We can only hope that we are successful in our mission' thought Ray.
About 30 minutes later they were in the main chamber, which was also heavily guarded, much like the rest of the base. He signaled to Mariah, who was directly to his right, to move forward. She nodded her response and continued to crawl stealth style under the containers on the ground, suspended slightly by ropes and chains. Ray made sure the coast was clear and dashed after her.
"They have lifted the security since the last time we came here" muttered Mariah.
"Yes, it will be hard to get to the power component hangar" he whispered back.
"Hard, yes. Impossible, no. We've come through hard times like this together before and we can do it again!" she said, winking which caused him to turn slightly red, but also reassured him.
Ray then suddenly put his hand down onto a patch of oil on the floor. He lost his balance and skidded into the middle of the chamber. The machines stared at him for about 4 seconds, trying to comprehend the situation. For every single one of these seconds Ray sat their looking completely terrified, panting.
"RAY! MAKE A RUN FOR IT!" screamed Mariah, as she dashed out from under the container they were both previously taking cover underneath. Ray snapped out of his trance and started running with Mariah, with the creatures following in close pursuit.
They had run out into the streets of their town, followed by 3 humanoids, having been able to shake the rest. Ray just kept running, not looking back. Suddenly he noticed a narrow alley to the right. 'Perfect! The machines will be too big to follow us down there!' he thought.
"Mariah!"
"Yes Ray?"
"Down the alley to the right!"
They both dashed down the alley. Two of the machines were way to big and started to returning to their base, however, one was able to fit through. It flew down after the pair. Eventually the alley ended in a dead end. Ray and Mariah had nowhere to go- they were trapped. Ray turned to face Mariah and pulled her into his arms. "I may not get the chance to say this ever again, so I might as well say it now. I love you Mariah." He purred, kissing her passionately. "I love you too Ray." She whispered back after he released her from the embrace.
Suddenly the machine came around the corner. It prepared to fire. Ray once again grabbed Mariah, holding her close. He closed his eyes prepared for the worst. Mariah knew this was the end. She snuggled closer to Ray. The machine was fully charged and about to fire when suddenly...
"MYSTELLARA ATTACK!"
Ray opened his eyes to see a bit beast surrounded by a soft purple aura. It looked like a cross between Galux and Driger but with dark panther type fur on its body. It lunged at the machine.
"ANCIENT LIGHT ATTACK!"
A flash that illuminated the whole area shone from the bit beast. When the light cleared Ray could see that the machine was shooting sparks everywhere.
"NOW FINISH IT OFF! MYSTIC MELODY!"
A beautiful song sound came from the bit beast. The robot exploded. The bit beast started flying upwards towards the rooftops.
Ray and Mariah looked up towards where the bit beast went. They saw a girl dressed in black leather knee high boots, black leather hot pants and a black leather tank top. She had elbow length black gloves on She had dark red hair and amber colored eyes much like their own. She continued to look at them until her bit beast returned to her. When it returned to her blade, she blinked at them and ran over the rooftops, out of their sight. Ray was left holding Mariah, alone in the alley.
WOW! I am proud of this one! I love it! Review!
