Split In Two: Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I still don't own beyblade or any other show here. Actually, to be honest, I really don't own that much.

Note: pronunciations – meanings/translations will be in (bold and brackets), also, when they're on patrol, nicknames will be used above their real names, e.g.; Cinta instead of Mariah.

Chapter 2 – Fighting Back The Shock

'AIRE!' (err-ee – means 'Air')

Mariah Chang's mind was snapped back to the battle at hand, as Hilary Tattibana called out to their team-mate and friend, Suzy McGregor, using her Spanish nickname, since they were out on patrol.

Suzy had been hit in the stomach by a strong and powerful Chozetti (Cho-Zet-ee) Demon. Kasi Rosette stood up to face the demon as Hilary helped Suzy away from the beast.

Mariah stood beside Kasi, ready to fight the demon that had hurt their friend.

'Ready Fuega?' (Fwey-ga – means 'Fire') Mariah asked, a smirk on her face as she got into a fighting stance opposite the demon.

'When you are, Cinta.' (Sin-ta – means 'Ribbon') Kasi replied, smirking also. She was in a fighting stance like Mariah. They looked at the demon before them.

The Chozetti Demon had deep red leathery skin. It had two beady black eyes, something Katt was quite offended about (she has black eyes as well). Five large fins scaled the top of its otherwise bare head. Smaller fins continued down its back to the very tip of its long red tail that just touched its ankles. It had two arms and two legs, but had webbed hands and feet instead. All had sharp claws on them. Its mouth was puffy, with the skin stretched across it nastily. The nose was a small snout like a pig's, but the same deep, blood red as the rest of its body. Two slits in the side of its head could be assumed as ears, but apart from that there wasn't much else to these demons.

Kasi flung herself at the demon, both her hands ablaze and ready. The demon yelled out as Kasi's hands burnt his flesh, creating a smell like very badly burnt toast.

It reminded Hilary of the time when Max had tried to cook on a sugar-rush. He had forgotten about the toast until it eventually caught fire. In punishment, Kai had made him eat the toast anyway, despite the fact that it no longer resembled anything that could have once been edible. Hilary couldn't remember if Max had spent three hours hurling afterwards, or four…

'Ciela!' (See-ay-la – means 'Sky') Mariah yelled desperately. Hilary looked up to see another Chozetti coming towards her.

Out the corner of her eye, Ciela saw the first Chozetti turn to dust as Fuega chopped off its head with her silver kitana. (Thin, long, Japanese sword.)

Fuega went to help Aire, while Cinta ran over to Ciela, eager to help. First, lightening struck the demon, and then it was strangled by a bright pink sash. Cinta could also conjure up materials for her to use, which was often very helpful.

The Chozetti exploded like the first one had, when Ciela set fire to it, with another lightening bolt, red this time. Ciela liked making different colours of lightening, for some unknown reason. If there even was a reason at all.

'-psh- Fuega? Fuega? Are you there? –psh- ' Katt's voice came through the small box hanging from Fuega's belt. It was silver walkie-talkie. Fuega picked it up.

'-psh- yeah I'm here Agua (Ag-where-ah – means 'Water') and everyone's fine. Just took out two Chozetti's, so I think we'd better head back now, ok? –psh- ' Fuega answered.

'-psh- Ok Fuega, see you in five, yeah? –psh- ' Agua replied, before the box went dead again. Fuega clipped it back onto her belt again. Cinta, Ciela and Aire walked over to her.

The four of them had been patrolling for a couple of hours already, and had successfully taken out eight Chozettis, their most common foe. They were in the graveyard, where they had just decided to end their patrol. Katt and Miriam were the two staying behind to cover the others tonight, and they were doing pretty well.

They had been fighting like this regularly every night for nearly two years now. They would usually patrol in a group of four, while the other two covered for them. And although the bladers were suspicious that the four hooded girls were always where they were, few were suspicious, and the girls had little to worry about.

- AT THE HOTEL THE BLADERS ARE STAYING AT INCLUDING THE GEMSTONE PROPHETS –

'Hey Tierra (Tee-air-ah – means 'Earth'), d'ya get the feeling someone's outside, trying to listen in on us, but failing miserably?' asked Katt conversationally to Miriam. She laughed and nodded. Katt grinned, and gave Miriam a pleading look. She laughed again.

'Knock em dead, Agua.' Miriam smiled. Katt clapped her hands with joy, and went to the door, being careful to make sure they wouldn't hear her coming.

She ripped the door open as fast as she could, startling the three boys in front of it. They flew backwards as the force of the door, plus Katt, hit them. They slumped to the ground.

'HI!' Katt had cried, as she had flung the door open. Now, she looked round innocently, purposefully not spotting the three Russians on he floor. She shrugged to Miriam, who was still inside, and struggling to hold in her laughter, and slammed the door again, right in the three boys' faces. They had gotten up just in time to have Katt slam the door.

As soon as the door was shut, Miriam rammed a chair under the handle, so nobody could get in until the chair was moved, one way or another. Katt opened the window opposite the door, and cleared the path round it. She placed a mini video camera on the desk, ready to record, and nodded to Miriam.

Miriam removed to chair, quick as a flash. The three Russians ran through the door, previously ready to shoulder it open, most likely. The girls howled with laughter as all three went straight through the open window, into a thick clump of bushes. They groaned and sat up, shaking leaves and twigs out of their hair and clothes.

'I swear you are the definition of evil, Morgan.' Kai said angrily as he tried to detach his scarf from a twig. This resulted in the scarf ripping. Kai swore under his breath in Russian. Tala glared at them. Bryan scowled and threw a branch at Katt. She jumped back, so that it landed at her feet instead.

Miriam 'tsk'ed him, and slammed the window shut. The boys moved out of the bush, and walked away, defeated again.

'I swear it feels better every time we trick them.' Katt said, wiping a tear from her eye. Miriam nodded and turned the camera off again. Katt pulled out a laptop from inside her closet, and handed a lead to Miriam. She hooked said lead up to the camera, while Katt jammed the other end into the laptop. Katt then proceeded to upload the data to the laptop, grinning as she did so.

There came a knock at the door, making both girls look up. Miriam cautiously made her way towards the door, opening it slowly.

Kasi's face frowned back at her, making her look a lot more like Kai than usual. Suzy was next to her, grinning. Hilary and Mariah were behind the first two, looking thoroughly bored, both with their arms crossed over their stomachs.

'Hi!' Miriam greeted as she let the four girls into their room. Three girls slept in this room, while the other three were only next door. Both were known throughout the hotel, and was known to all beyblading boys as 'enemy territory'. The six girls were beyblading menaces, well-known to prank people, mostly boys, though.

Outside their group, Emily was on the best terms with them, for helping them out so often. Jess and Julia had tried to prank them back again far too often.

'Look at this.' Katt said grinning evilly as usual. She showed the newcomers the footage of Kai, Tala and Bryan, and watched expectantly as it played through to them. It ended with Miriam slamming the window shut, and Katt wiping the tear away. They all laughed at the boys' humiliation.

'Way to go you two!' Hilary congratulated them. Miriam and Katt smirked and put the laptop away again.

'So,' Katt said, flopping down on her bed, 'anything to report?' she asked. Kasi shook her head.

'Not a thing.' Suzy answered for her. 'Just a few Chozettis, nothing big.' She assured them. Miriam nodded and scribbled it down in a blood red notebook. This was where they kept rough accounts of what had happened on their patrols.

'Well isn't that interesting to write.' Mariah said dryly. Kasi smirked.

'Then how bout we make things more fun, hey?' she suggested. All six girls paused to nod at Kasi.

'Plan 246?' pleaded Suzy eagerly. Kasi nodded. Katt punched the air, while Hilary fished in the closet. She pulled out a lot of joy buzzers, smirking nastily. Mariah took out a sack, and proceeded to help Hilary stuff the joy buzzers inside. Katt joined in as well, and Miriam put their book away.

'Hey, lets go show this to Emily. Maybe she can help us again.' Suggested Suzy. Out of them all, she was most happy for Emily to hang out with them. None of them really minded her, though.

Kasi rolled her eyes and nodded. 'Yeah, so long as she doesn't tell if she isn't helping.' She said. Suzy rolled her eyes, and helped Mariah and Hilary carry the sack down the hallway. Katt locked the door after them all. They headed off to Emily's room, which she shared with Mathilda and Salima.

Suzy knocked politely, and waited for someone to answer. Emily's smiling face greeted them shortly after, and she stepped back for them to enter. Her eyes widened when she saw the sack.

'What now!' she asked with a laugh. Katt grinned.

'Tyson gets an early wake up call.' She hinted.

'Bu-But it's one in the morning!' Emily laughed again. Mathilda groaned and sat up in her bed. She froze when she saw the six newcomers there. Then she grinned.

'I should have known. Carry on, and give Tyson a kick for me if you're going out later.' She said, before going back to sleep again. The seven watchers smirked and nodded.

Salima sat up as well, rolled her eyes when she saw the other girls, and also went back to sleep. Kasi stuck her middle finger up at her sleeping figure.

'Baka.' She muttered under her breath. Thankfully though, Salima didn't hear her word.

Emily smiled again. 'Want a hand?' she asked. They grinned and nodded, before exiting the room together. Salima's head popped back up again, only for her to grin triumphantly, and go back to sleep again.

The seven troublemakers walked alone the corridors, towards Tyson, Max and Ray's room that the three boys shared. Katt quickly picked the look, letting them all inside. It was a mess, to say the least.

Clothes and various other items were strune across the floor, covering most of it. Tyson was hanging half out of his bed, while Max was bouncing around so much that it hardly would have made a difference if he had been on the floor. Ray was currently sleepwalking, and he seemed to be aimed for the bathroom. The girls seized their chance and got to work.

Katt and Emily and set about stuffing Ray's bed with the joy buzzers, while Hilary and Mariah did the same to Tyson's bed. Miriam was luring Max away from his bed with a pixie stick, letting Kasi and Suzy add the joy buzzers to his bed as well.

Miriam hid the pixie stick away from Max, and helped Kasi, Suzy, Hilary and Mariah all carry Tyson back onto his bed.

Katt stuck in one last joy buzzer, just as Ray exited the bathroom, the sound of a flushing toilet joining his re-entrance. The girls tiptoed out just as ray got back onto his bed. Nothing had happened to any of the boys yet. Katt frowned.

'Why they no screamy?' she asked sulkily. Suzy shrugged, Kasi grinned.

'Time to give it a little kick-start, if you get my drift.' She said. Emily, Kasi and Katt all tiptoed back in, and grabbed the nearest things they could find.

These just so happened to be the pool cues Tyson had stolen from the hotel a couple of days ago.

Miriam produced some rope from her pocket, handing it to Kasi. Katt and Emily held the cues in place while Kasi tied them to one another. They were ready.

Kasi handed the cues to Katt, who expertly guided them across the room to Ray's bed. With the very tip of the end cue, she pocked Ray's mattress, setting off the joy buzzers stuffed inside it. She quickly did the same to Tyson, and then Max, who was nearest to the door. She dropped the cues and hide behind the door, while Mariah filmed their reactions.

Tyson was running around screaming loudly, Ray was inspecting his bed fearfully and cautiously, while Max was just hunting for 'Here, Pixie-Pixie Sticks!'

As Ray's eyes darted towards the door, all seven culprits ran for it, not stopping until they were at Katt's, Hilary's and Mariah's room. They all ran inside, hearing Ray, Max and Tyson run past, the bakas. They sank down against the door, laughing.

Suzy then proceeded to upload the clip onto the computer.

'We so rule at this stuff.' Hilary said, slumping into her bed covers. Emily nodded.

'Brill to help you girls too.' She said, smiling. Kasi, Katt and Suzy glanced at each other.

'We were thinking…' Suzy started.

'Though that doesn't happen too often…' Katt put in with a smirk. Kasi hit her over the head playfully.

'Shut it you baka.' Kasi said, smirking also. Katt rolled her eyes.

'We were thinking that maybe you'd like to join us.' Mariah finished. Katt and Kasi stopped their attacks on one another to nod to Emily. She was starry-eyed.

'You mean it?' She asked. They all nodded. She nodded. 'But I have to tell you something first. You can't tell anyone, though.' She said. Katt waved it away with her hand.

'One moment, can you lot please recognise this as the part where you all cut in and stop me and Kasi from murdering each other?' Katt asked. Hilary laughed and pushed the two apart. Kasi and Katt both smirked. Emily nodded.

'I-I have powers.' Emily rushed out. Their heads all snapped to her. In the palm of her hand lay a small, diamond-shaped, amber, gem.

'Ditto, girl.' Katt whispered as the other six pulled out their own gems too. Emily gasped. So did they.
