Chapter Title: Viruses and Failures
Episode 7: A Hell Away From Home
At Tyson's house, Ozuma, Hilary, and Kenny were discussing some info on the bit-beast situation.
"Have anything we can go at, Kenny?" Ozuma asked.
"Just one thing," Kenny replied, "It seems though that the bit-beast takes on any characteristics it comes in contact with. Like you said, Ozuma, you don't much about these bit-beasts; let alone heard of any of them. That bit-beast, that Janis had, wasn't even called Virus Dragoon, until it came in contact with the hospital!"
"Then we've got to be careful next time!" Hilary said standing up, "We may not know where they're gonna strike next, but we'll make sure to be ready!"
"Excuse me, Ms. Beyblade Slayer!" Ozuma said, "But, since when did you become a "Hero of Justice"? FYI, if we want to be ready, we have to train! We don't want to take risks like we did with Janis! That means everyone here, including Tyson, has to be on their "A" game!"
"Oh!" Hilary stopped, "Speaking of which, where is Tyson?"
"Oh, the little dude is just resting, fly-gal!" Tyson's grandfather said entering the room. "Grandpa?" Hilary asked. "The homie decided to take a nap, before heading out again," Grandpa continued, "The boy's got more mojo than BOZO the clown!"
"I guess we can't blame him for dozing off," Kenny said, "I mean, he took a big risk, trying to save us and all!" 'Kenny's right,' Hilary said sadly, 'WE owe Tyson not only for the boys's lives, but for my life as well!'
'I guess this situation is taking its toll more on Tyson than anybody!' Ozuma thought, 'And that was just the first of many bit-beasts that landed here.'
Meanwhile, in his room, Tyson laid on his bed staring at the ceiling. Seconds later, he stared at Dragoon Revelation.
'I don't think Dragoon is strong enough anymore!' he thought, 'I need to train!'

White Tiger X memebers: Lee, Kevin, and Mariah were training with their blades in a beydish.
"Go, Galeon!" Lee yelled.
"Galux, attack!" Mariah replied.
"Galman, show no mercy!" Kevin shouted.
All three blades grinded each other at the center of the beydish. That is, until Mariah backed off. "Galux!" she yelled, "Attack Galeon, NOW!" Galux broke off and bashed Galeon 2 near the edge of the dish.
"You've done it now, Mariah!" Lee said, "Galeon! Spiral Lighting!" Galeon 2 transformed into a ball of powerful black thunder with Galeon roaring in the behind it.
"I don't think so!" Mariah said as Galux had lighting surrounding it.
"Don't forget about me!" Kevin shouted as Galman rushed foward. Nearly reaching each other, another beyblade entered the mix, bashing all three of them out. As well as the fourth beyblade heading back to its owner.
"I guess you guys need a lot more training!" a voice said.
"Well, I don't believe it!" Lee said, "It's Rei!" Mariah ran to him and gave him a hug. "Hey, hey! Take it easy," Rei said, "It's good to see you too, Mariah!" "What happened, Rei?" Mariah asked, "I thought you was gonna call us as soon as you landed." "Yeah, we thought that your flight was delayed!" Kevin said. "And what's up with them clothes?" Lee asked, "I haven't seen clothes that tattered since you found out that your shirt was on fire!"
"Sorry, guys!" Rei said considering that his shirt was half-torn and his pants had holes in them, "I wasn't going to come home right away unless I was perfecting my new Driger!"
Rei held out his beyblade and the others were astonished.
"Meet Driger Radical!" he said. "Wow!" Kevin said, "Awesome!" "Yeah, but guys? There's something I need to tell you, something very important..."
-Commercial Break-
"What!" Lee shouted, "Are you serious!" "Definitely serious!" Rei said as they went into the hut, "This Ja-rel guy has captured a forbidden bit-beast named Ares, and now he's gone! Not even the computers Judy has, can't even find him."
"And what about all these shooting stars that came out of the sky?" Kevin replied. "After Ares was resurrected," Rei began, "At least ten or twenty bit-beasts came out as well! That's why I'm here. Instead of we staying in one spot, we decided to split up and find the bit-beast and Ja-rel."
"Unreal!" Lee said. "I had no idea!" Mariah said, "I think we better talk to Sensei about this!" "You're too late!" Kevin said, "He and Gary went to Hong Kong for at least a month! We're on our own!" "What about Mystel?" Rei asked.
"No one has seen him since the Justice Five Tournament," Lee said, "I guess he quit beyblading."
"Either way, he's our best chance!" Rei said, "Let's go find him!" "Wait a minute, Rei!" Mariah said holding something, "I want you to try this." "What is it?"
"It's a new karate gee!" Lee said. "Yeah! Mariah and Sensei have been working on this for you if you should return!" Kevin replied. "Thanks, Mariah!" Rei said as she was blushing. "You're welcome!" Mariah said quietly.
After tying on his belt, Rei was ready to go. He still wore his red bandana, but his shirt was different: A pure red, sleeveless shirt with the Yin-Yang symbol on the back, still wore black pants and shoes, but returned to the black fingerless gloves.
"Totally awesome!" Kevin said. "I definitely agree on that!" Mariah said. "Hpmh...now he making me jealous!" Lee said smiling. "All right, guys!" Rei began, "Let's go!"

In the Abby, Tala was using the Super Computer system to find Ja-rel's location.
"Arrgh!" he growled, "Can he just hold still for at least a second!"
Seconds later, not wearing his scarf, Kai entered the room.
"Find anything?" Kai asked. "I keep on tracing Ja-rel's location into several different areas," Tala said, "but everytime I get a lock on him, the computer freezes up and he goes to another area! His direct location is absolutely undetectable!"
"Well, I can think of two good reasons!" Kai replied, "One, Ja-rel has a radar-jamming system; or two, the Abby's radar is a piece of junk!" Then he started walking out of the room.
"Where are you going?" Tala asked. "We can worry about where to find Ja-rel later!" Kai said, "Right now, we have to tend to the bit-beasts that inhabit this area! Tell Spencer to watch the computer just in case something shows up."

At the PPB All-Stars HQ's training room, Rick was waiting while Rock Bison spun in the dish.
"Hurry up, Mariam!" he said, "We're not getting any younger by the second!" "Just hold your horses, "Mr. Impatient McFiesty" !" Mariam said getting ready, "I'm just putting the final touches on Red Sharkrash!" Adjusting her grip launcher a little, she locked Red Sharkrash into place.
(Flashback)
"What are you talking about, Judy?" Mariam asked, "I thought Sharkrash's speed was just fine!" "Yes, but with this new launcher..." Judy began as she showed her the customized launcher, "...You can adjust the speed by moving the holder up or down depending on what kind of speed you want."
"Ok...if you say so!" Mariam said taking the launcher. After inserting the rip cord, she pulled the holder all the way up. Then she inserted Red Sharkrash and locked it.
'I feel a little akward in this position!' she thought, 'But, I just have to trust in Judy. She knows what she's doing!' "Let It Rip!"
Red Sharkrash was released at a speed less than normal, but the results were impressive! Mariam couldn't believe what happened!
"Sharkrash took a huge bite out of the beystadium!" she said shockingly. "Exactly!" Judy said walking up to her, "You may have lost a whole lot of speed, but the power makes up for it! If you were able to push the holder the opposite way, your speed and defense would of increased ten fold; but your attack would of dropped aimlessly!"
"AWESOME!" Mariam said.
(End Flashback)
Mariam pulled the holder all the way back and locked Red Sharkrash into place.
"C'mon, Mariam!" Daichi yelled, "Are you gonna launch or not?" "You heard'em, Mariam!" Emily said, "You don't wanna disappoint them!"
"I heard ya there, Emily!" Mariam said, "LET IT RIP!"
Red Sharkrash flew into the beystadium at blinding speed. "Wow! Unreal!" Emily said, "Red Sharkrash has 80,000 RPMs!" Then Red Sharkrash grinded Rock Bison , but didn't do any damage. "heheheheh!" Rick laughed, "Is that all? Your speed is awesome but your power is child's play!" "Wanna bet!" Mariam said as Red Sharkrash backed off. "I'll bet anything that your beyblade's doesn't even come close to Rock Bison's! And to prove it, I'll let you have the first move!"
"Fine! But, don't say I didn't warn you!"
Mariam powered up giving her energy to Red Sharkrash. "Sharkrash, RELEASE R-AXIS GEAR!"
As soon as she said that, Sharkrash created a blue fire aura around itself. Seconds later, it circled the beystadium at a fast pace, that every side was caught on blue fire!
"You think a little fire is gonna stop me, huh!" Rick said, "Well, then you're dead wrong! Rock Bison, full force attack!" Rock Bison went in attacking, but that was exactly what Mariam wanted as she smiled.
Without saying anything, she powered up again. But this time, Red Sharkrash's blue fire changed to red.
With a mix of blue and red fire in her hand, Mariam's eyes turned vicious. Lifting her hand up, the fire grew larger. Then slaming it down the ground, the red and blue fire mixture surrounded Red Sharkrash as it charged foward.
"GO, NIGHTSHADE ABYSS!"
-
The attack caused Rock Bison to be knocked out the ring! Daichi and Rick were in shock at what happened. Red Sharkrash's flame died out and returned to Mariam's hand. Meanwhile, fire extingushers put the on-going flame in the beystadium.
"Wow!" Daichi said, "That was an excellent display of power ever!" "Well, she just got lucky!" Rick about to pick up his beyblade.
"It's a good thing that activated the fire extinguishers after that little escapade!" Emily said, "Boy, if Max saw right now, he'd be jealous!" Before the discussion could continue, the girls saw Daichi & Rick arguing. So, they walked over to the window and spoke softly.
"Speaking of Max..." Mariam said starting off, "...it's been at least 24 hours." "Whatever he's working on must be important," Emily said, "Don't worry, Mariam. He'll come back. That's a promise!" "I sure hope so..."

Rei, Lee, and Kevin were walking to find Mystel.
"Don't you think it's a bit akward to leave Mariah at the hut like that?" Kevin asked. "Well, she did agree to stay there until we get back!" Lee said. "And besides, she can handle anything that bothers her!" Rei said.
"Uhhh...Speaking of handling..." Kevin said pointing foward, "...We've got company!"
Looking foward, they saw a bunch of people, in black karate uniforms.
"You know these guys?" Rei asked. "No," Lee said, "I've never seen them before!" "And by the way they're coming, they're looking for a fight!" Kevin yelled.
Cracking his knuckles, Rei smiled.
"Then it's time to show them what we're made of!" he said. "I hear ya!" Lee said, "Try not to get too jealous of me, Kevin!" "I've been training more than you," Kevin began, "and you have the nerve to be arrogant? Watch me, Rei! When this is over, I want to be your next opponent!"
The people in black started to charged foward.
"I'll go first against this group of rookies!" Kevin said miraciously disappearing and reappearing in the middle of the group. The first shot was a knee to the gut. Reappearing behind another one, Kevin gave a chop shot to the back of the neck. For the third time, he gave a kick flip to another causing a shockwave pushing back everyone!
Then Kevin reappeared to Rei and Lee again.
"That was new technique I've been working on!" he said, "The Crazy-Monkey Matrix!" "Not bad!" Rei said, "You can beat me in a street fight if you keep training!"
Slapping his face, Lee got riled up! "Now, it's my turn!" he yelled as he clasped his wrists together. Seconds later, black lighting sprouted from his hands. "Have some of this! Black Sprial Flash!" Lee fired a blast that caused the people in black to go blind! "Now, Rei!" he yelled, "Attack them before the effect wears off!"
"All over it!" Rei yelled as he ran towards the group. Moving at fast speed, everything went dark around him. "White Tiger Fist!" After throwing his fist, Rei went through them. Seconds later, slashes of light destroyed them by turning them into nothing but dust.
"Hardly a fight!" Rei said standing straight. "Not bad!" Kevin said, "You have to teach me that someday!" "It's seems though you've been through the hardest training sessions with the Bladebreakers!" Lee replied. "Well, it's a long story..."
"Guys!" a voice said as a person ran towards them.
"It's Mariah!" Lee said. "What the matter, Mariah?" Rei asked. "It's terrible!" Mariah said, "People in black started attacking the hut! But, they left!" "It's gotta be the same dudes who attacked us!" Kevin said. "Well, c'mon!" Rei said, "Let's go check out the hut!" "What about Mystel?" Lee asked. "Don't worry, Lee. From the way we saw him at the BEGA Justice Five Tournament, he can take care of himself!"
After that, they ran back to the hut. Unaware to them, someone was watching them...
-Commercial Break-
Making it back to the hut, Rei looked inside and saw something very disturbing. "Looks like they ransacked the place real good!" he said as he looked down, "Huh? Hmmm..."
"Now, Mariah!" Lee said, "Are you sure that you didn't see anything!" "I'm positive!" Mariah said, "I saw a couple of guys in black destroying the hut! They were already gone when I came back and when I looked inside, the place looked like a junk yard!"
"Hmm...I wonder what those guys want from us?" Kevin replied, "If they went through all that trouble!"
"I'm not sure!" Rei said coming out of the hut. "What are you talking about, Rei?" Mariah asked, "Please explain!" "I think you're the one who needs to do the explaining! I saw inside the hut and the place was pretty ransacked! But, there was one problem: I saw only one pair of footprints, and they match YOUR SIZE!"
"You've got to be kidding!" Kevin said, "Are you saying she did this on her own?" "Don't you remember, Rei?" Lee replied, "She was outside the hut when it happened!"
"Mariah's story was pretty convincing..." Rei began, "...CONSIDERING THAT HER FOOTPRINTS WERE NEVER NEAR THE DOORWAY!" Lee and Kevin were shock at the truth! "And, I'll bet anything that she came in contact with Mystel right before I got here!"
With her head down, not seeing her eyes, and with a grin on her face, Mariah laughed. "Very good, Rei!" she said in a different voice, "Very good, indeed! I was the one who sent those guys in black to attack you!" "You DIDN'T?" Kevin said. "Mariah!" Lee said grabbing her by the shoulders, "What's wrong with you? Have you lost it!"
Mariah chuckled and said, "There's no more Mariah!" Then with a thrust of an aura surrounding her, she pushed away Lee to the ground. Then she grabbed Galux and launched it.
"I knew the real Mariah couldn't do this!" Rei said, "Who are you?" "Why, I'm shocked Rei!" Mariah said, "I thought you would remember me, considering that you and your other friends released me from that rock!"
"You're a BIT-BEAST!" Rei shouted. "My name is Galuxia!" she said showing her evil, frantic dark-red eyes, "And it's an honor to control your friend's body, mind, and beyblade!" "What do you want here?" "Simple...The downfall of White Tigers X and their leader, Rei Kon! It'll be a pleasure to take you down, just like I did Mystel!"
"MYSTEL?" Rei said shockingly. "You've should of seen the look on his face!" Galuxia said, "The look when I pounded his beyblade into the ground! hehehe...hahahahahahahahahahahaha..."
'If a blader as good as Mystel was defeated...' Rei thought, 'Then, how strong is this Galuxia?'
