Chapter Title: Viruses and Failures

Episode 8: Not Cool, but Radical!

The sky was once again turning black as Galuxia, in Mariah's body, had an evil aura around her. Seconds later, lighting shot down striking Galux. Lee and Kevin were on the ground looking astonished while Rei, with a very serious look, didn't flinched.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...!" she laughed, "This is a very incredible body! You wouldn't mind if I borrowed Mariah for a while, would you?" "Actually, I do mind!" Rei replied.

"What have you done to Mariah!" Lee shouted, "Tell us, NOW!"

"Why, Lee! I'm hurt," Galuxia said, "Don't you even recongize your little sister? That's shameful!" "That's not shameful, YOU ARE!" Rei said raising his voice, "Mariah would never let you take control of her body without a fight! She's much too good of a martial artist to lose."

Suddenly, Galuxia started feeling weird as she held her head in her hand. Seconds later, she raised her head back up. "Huh?" she said, "Where...where am I?" "Mariah?" Rei asked. "Rei...Lee...Kevin...what's going..." Before she could finish, Mariah felt weird again. "hehehehehehehehehehe..." Galuxia said back in control, "Fooled you, didn't I?"

Lee and Kevin couldn't believe what went down. "It can't be!" Kevin said. "Galuxia!" Lee shouted. Rei's eyes turned lethal. "You BITCH!" he said, "What have you done to Mariah?"

"Hahahahahahaha...She was never in control!" Galuxia said arrogantly, "I merely severed my hold on her. I can let go of her anytime I want to!" "You give us back Mariah, RIGHT NOW!" Lee said as he launched Galeon 2.

"Now that was not being politeful!" Galuxia said as Galux bashed Galeon 2 back into Lee's hand. "What happened!" Lee said. "Your rage increases the strength of your beyblade. But I don't think that you're a challenge against me. If I'd toyed with your beyblade, you'll be picking Galeon off the ground. And I don't think sending your Galman after me is gonna work, Kevin!" "Huh?" Kevin jumped. "I'll knock you unconcious before that ever happens! The only person that is worthy enough for me is..."

Galuxia stopped talking to point at...

"...YOU, Rei!"

Rei stayed very quiet for a few seconds then said, "So, you want to battle me, eh?" "Of course, you are one of the reigning World Beyblade Champions!" Galuxia said smiling more, "There is a good chance you might be able to beat me."

While trying to reach his launcher, Rei thought of something. 'Wait a minute! If I beybattle Galuxia now, I might win! But, what happens to Mariah afterwards?'

"Getting cold feet, huh?" Galuxia said, "I wouldn't blame you, considering the predicament you're in. But, if you don't defeat me, Mariah will still be under my control!" Rei stopped reaching for his launcher and stood very still. Galuxia continued to laugh. "Why must we do things the hard way!" She raised her hand at Rei preparing for an attack until...another beyblade collided with hers.

That incident caught Rei's eye as a figure jumped right in front of him.

The person was wearing a blue, toga-like karate gee; had wild-like spikey hair and piercing eyes. He was holding his left arm.

"Well, it's good to see you again, Rei!" he said. "Wha--! Mystel!" Rei said shockingly.

"So, the infamous Mystel has arrived!" Galuxia said, "I'm surprised that you're still walking. After all, you and your Poseidon did take a beating from me...hehehehehehe..." "You just got lucky, Galaxia!" Mystel said. "Did I now? Well, shall we finish what I started?" "Sorry, much as evil as you are now, I would never battle against a friend, let alone Mariah!"

Before Galuxia spoke, Lee and Kevin regrouped with the others.

"What's this!" she said, "Banding together so I can take you out at once?" "Sorry, Galuxia!" Mystel said holding something, "I'm not gonna give you that opportunity! ALRIGHT, GUYS! REGROUP!" Throwing down something, Rei, Lee, Kevin, and Mystel hid in a cloud of smoke. Galuxia covered her eyes during the flash, but reopened them to see that the boys had disappeared.

"Hmm...they're gone!" she said without a worry, "No matter. They'll have to come sooner or later, and when they do...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...I destroy them! Besides, they'll never intent on battling their friend, especially you Rei!"

-Commercial Break-

-Japan-

In Tyson's backyard, Tyson and Kenny were having a practice match.

"Keep going, Dragoon!" Tyson said as Dragoon R rushed in.

"Hopper! Up, over, and attack!" Kenny yelled as Hopper flipped over Dragoon R and bashed it from the back. "What! Ugh...Never even saw it coming!" Tyson said.

Suddenly, Kenny's muscles tightened to the point of their limits. "Hopper, full force attack!" he yelled as Hopper went for a direct attack without bouncing! Tyson yelled in power as Dragoon rushed in as well. After grinding for a few seconds, the blades returned to their bladers.

"Ah man!" Kenny said on his knees, "That was one crazy workout!" "Yeah!" said Tyson taking a breather, "I have to admit myself, I had my own close calls!"

"That was awesome, you two!" Ozuma said, "Alright, Hilary! It's our turn now!" "But, I don't have my blade anymore," Hilary said, "I gave it to Kenny, right after Janis's incident!" "Oh! That reminds me, Hilary!" Kenny said pulling something out of his pocket, "I tinkered with your blade when you gave it to me! Now, your attack and defense can be played at the same time!" When Hilary got her blade back, she was estatic!

"Is this Hyper Dragoon?" she asked, "It looks beautiful!" "Goodbye, Hyper Dragoon V2..." Kenny began, "Say hello to Hyper Dragoon Rose!" "Hyper Dragoon Rose?" Hilary repeated. "All that battling with Janis yesterday, wore out your blade base! That's why I figured that these bit-beasts maybe even stronger than we expected. So, go ahead Hilary! Test it out!"

"Okay, if you say so!" Hilary said locking her new R-blade into place. Ozuma was also ready when Tyson said, "I just hope that Hilary doesn't have a hard time with this new blade like she did with the last one." "Don't worry, she'll do fine," Kenny said, 'Because I added in two more additions to her gear!'

"Ready?" Ozuma said as Hilary nodded, "LET IT RIP!"

As Hilary launcher Hyper Dragoon R, it was moving so fast that she couldn't see it. Hyper Dragoon then grinded Flash Leopard 7 and bashed it back into Ozuma's hand; Ozuma didn't see it coming!

"Wha--What the Hell happened!" he asked, "I stayed in there for at least ten seconds!" "I was wondering the same thing!" Hilary said.

"What happened was..." Kenny began, "...I added a second R-Axis gear in Hyper Dragoon Rose's engine so she can stay in the battle twice as long! Plus, I made her launcher so when Hilary fires, her beyblade would be stable." "Thanks, Chief!" Hilary said as she kissed him on the cheek. Kenny blushed in response. "Careful, Kenny!" Tyson said grinning big, "Ming-Ming might be jealous!" "What are you saying?" Kenny yelled, "MING-MING IS THE ONLY GIRL FOR ME!"

Tyson stopped smiling for a minute only to find Ozuma looking up at the sky.

"What's up, Ozuma!" he asked. "Something's wrong," he said quietly, "The clouds...are shifting akwardly..."

Tyson, as well as Kenny and Hilary, looked up. "He's right," he said, 'and they're coming up north...WHERE REI IS! I just hope he's okay..."

-China-

Hiding somewhere, in a acre of bushes, Rei; Lee; and Kevin were taking care of an injured Mystel.

"Don't worry guys," Mystel said still holding his arm, "It's only a scratch. Nothing that I can't handle!"

"Mystel," Rei began talking, "Is it true? Did you really meet up with Mariah before I came back home?"

"Yes," Mystel said angrily, "Unfortunately, it wasn't what I hoped for. When Mariah told that you'd be returning, we were getting prepared for you. So, we had a practice match. Unfortunately, something terrible went down. A beam of light engulfed Mariah and she became possessed by, what she called herself, a bit-beast...Galuxia!"

"Then what happened?" Kevin asked. "I didn't know it until then, but our practice match became a little than it already was!" Mystel replied as he showed his broken beyblade Poseidon, "The result...I guess you can a look for yourself! Galuxia set this whole plan up: Taking me out, sending the warriors in black to attack you, everything! And she did all of this the day during the strange meteor shower incident!"

"Mariah knew what was going down!" Kevin replied. "So she try to warn us when Rei arrived!" Lee said.

"But, Galuxia corrupted her mind before she could tell us!" Rei said. "And if we don't stop her soon, it'll be a one million-to-one chance that Mariah will ever be in control again!" Mystel said. "Then we'll have to do it tonight!"

Everyone looked at Rei.

"Now, I know you've got brain damage!" Kevin said, "Didn't you see what happened to Lee, minutes ago!" "Kevin's right, Rei!" Lee said, "Don't forget she took me out in a blink of an eye!" "Yeah," Rei replied back, "But, you didn't see Driger Radical at its best! I'm the only thing that can stand up to Galuxia! If you guys don't want to come with me, I understand."

"...I'll go with ya!" Mystel said, "If Mariah still in there, we may have a chance to help her!" "I'll go as well!" Lee said, "She's my sister after all! I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to her. This is my fight too!" "And besides," Kevin began, "If Rei comes back, with a victory over Galuxia, he'll never let us hear the end of it!" "Thanks guys!" Rei said with relief.

Heading back to the hut, Rei and the others saw no sign of Galuxia.

"You don't think she ran off with her tail between her legs, did she?" Kevin asked. "It's either that," Mystel said, "or this is the second time she laid a trap for us!" "Huh?" Lee stopped. "What's the matter, bro?" Kevin asked as Rei, only, kept on walking. "Guys, did you just hear a humming sound just now!" Lee asked.

"I heard it, too!" Rei said stopping, "It's very close!"

When Kevin turned to look, the first words that came out of his mouth were, "Closer THAN YOU THINK!"

Suddenly, a wall of fire appeared. With seconds to spare, they quickly dodged it, leaving Rei in front of it. Then the wall fire began to circle around Rei. Mystel, Lee, and Rei stood in shock as they watched the fire complete its circle.

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" Rei shouted. Then he heard a sinister laugh as another person entered.

"What do you think of my ring of fire? Hahahahahehehehe!" "Galuxia!" Rei shouted.

"I've trapped you, Rei," Galuxia said, "not even your friends can help you with being burned!" "Everyone, get back!" Rei shouted back to the group, "I don't want you guys getting hurt!"

"Then, take her out, Rei!" Mystel shouted, "It's the only chance to save Mariah!" "You can't hold back because of what she looks like!" Kevin said. "She's not Mariah, Rei!" Lee shouted, "Take down the imposter!"

"It seems though that your friends have good faith in you!" Galuxia said, "It's too bad that you're always running away to prove that faith!" Turning around to face her, Rei said, "No, Galuxia. I'm not running this time!" Then he took his RC launcher and Driger R and got ready.

"That's more like it!" Galuxia said grabbing Galux and her launcher, "Time to see who is the best!"

-Commercial Break-

3...2...1...LET IT RIP!

"GO, DRIGER!" Rei yelled.

"GALUX, TEAR HIM APART!" Galuxia shouted.

Driger R and Galux first attack was more than just a sucker blow; they bashed into each other creating a massive wind.

Rei and Galuxia quickly dodged out of the way.

"I didn't expect his Driger to be that strong after that attack!" Galuxia said, "I'll have to play more aggressively!"

'With Galuxia in control of Mariah's body...' Rei thought, 'Galux is even stronger than before! But, I'm here to put a stop to this! Mariah will have her body back and I won't show any signs of mercy!' "Driger! Attack!"

With that, Driger R made a straight foward attack. Seconds later, Galuxia and Galux disappeared.

"Huh! Where'd she go?" Rei asked himself. "I'm right behind you!" Galuxia said behind Rei. Clenching her fist, she threw a right at the back of Rei's head. Rei ducked under it quickly; as well as Driger R sliding under Galux. Then he turned around and made kickflip, which caused Driger to flip Galux after hitting its blind spot.

Meanwhile, after being hit by the kickflip, Galuxia was thrown backwards, but with grace, landed of her feet. She licked the blood dripping off her lip and smiled.

"That's it, Rei!" she said, "That's was I want from you! I want to fight when you're at your prime! So, when I beat you, I'll have no complaints!" "Good, cause I wasn't planning on holding back!" Rei said after flipping back up on his feet, "And don't try any of those head games of yours about hitting a girl! Mariah and I used to fight like that all the time!" "Hmm...You know me all too well! But, I'm not planning on quitting! You're going down, Rei!" "Same here, Galuxia!"

Then the two yelled as loud as they could as auras showered around them.

During that time Driger R and Galux were grinding each other. The wind was picking up faster than any tornado spun before!

Meanwhile, Lee; Kevin; and Mystel were wathcing the whole thing. "Wow!" Kevin said, "The battle has already started, and still, they're fighting at an unbelieveable pace. "I hate to admit, but Galuxia is doing pretty good against Rei!" Lee said. Mystel just stayed quiet.

'Something bizarre is about to go down!' he thought, 'I can feel it!'

Galuxia thrusted her arm causing a major shockwave. Galux collided with Driger R hard causing Rei to be pushed back very near to the fire! Nearly catching his clothing on fire, Rei jumped upward.

"My TURN!" he yelled as he thrusted a massive wind making Driger R collided into Galux. Galuxia felt the major shockwave after being pushed back.

Galux and Driger R continued to bash and grind each other, pushing each other at a stalemate.

"Wow!" Kevin said, "Rei and Galuxia are giving everything they've got!" "Actually, Galuxia's the one who's giving everything he's got," Mystel informed. "What are you talking about?" Lee asked. "Take a look for yourselves."

When Lee and Kevin looked through the fire, they notice that Rei was still standing, but Galuxia was on one knee.

"What the...!" Lee said. "She's exhausted!" Kevin said. "Although, she's having the advantage over Rei," Mystel began, "She's completely exhausted! Galuxia is desparately trying to control Galux and keep her hold on Mariah! Unforunately, for her, she can't. This is the opportunity Rei needs: If he can realize that Mariah is trying to get back in control, he can win this!"

Meanwhile, staying in one spot, Galux and Driger R grinded each other. "Just give it up, Galuxia!" Rei said, "Give back Mariah's body!"

"NO!" Galuxia said with eyes flaring up, "I won't give up!" Then Galux stopped grinding and started bashing Driger R. Feeling every hit, Rei didn't move though. "Stop this!" he yelled back as Driger pushed back Galux.

With both blades not moving, Galuxia continued to breath heavily; that is until something caught Rei's eye.

"Huh!" he breathed, 'I can hear her breathe. But, that's not Galuxia. Then...'

"REI!"

"That's Mariah's voice!" Rei said.

Suddenly, in another world, Rei kept looking forward to see a transparent image of somebody; somebody all too familiar!

"Mariah!"

"Rei...Galuxia...is...evil...Help...me!..."

Seconds later, Mariah disappeared.

"MARIAH!" Rei yelled as he returned to reality, "That's it! I can't stand it anymore! It was bad enough to take over Mariah's body, but thanks to you, she may make it! It's been realized now! You're not Mariah, you're a bit-beast! And I've prove it by defeating you!"

Suddenly, bolts of lighting circled around him as he screamed, "GO, DRIGER!"

Driger R rushed in with a red aura surrounding it.

"TAKE HER DOWN!"

-Commercial Break-

Rei yelled more as Driger R bashed Galux hard pushing Galuxia back on to the ground. Getting back up, she felt Mariah trying to get back in control.

"Let me go!" Mariah said.

"I won't have you in control anymore!" Galuxia shouted.

In a huge cyberspace-like background, Galuxia jumped backwards as she fired beams from her hands rapidly. The beams moved faster than she threw them.

"STRATA CLAW FURY!"

The beams hit every spot Driger R landed until one beam connected. Rei felt the blow and got pushed back, but kept his composure in check.

"Damn it!" Galuxia said, "I'm losing my hold on Mariah! I can't fight back at this level!"

Then she doubled over in pain. "I won't let you have your body back, Mariah!" she yelled.

"Then, I'll just have to take it from you by force!" Mariah yelled pushing all sorts of will power foward. Then, out of nowhere, Galuxia and Mariah split into causing the bit-beast to fly backwards!

"Now, Rei!" Mariah said.

"Huh!" Rei breathed, "Mariah?"

"Finish it now while I'm in control of my body!"

Rei nodded in agreement and got ready. "Attack now, Driger!" he said as Driger R released its R-Axis gear.

-

In a pure black background, Rei's gloved fist showed the smybol of the white tiger. Drawing it back for more power, his fist became a raging bomb. Then forcing a punch, created a whirlwind made out of thunder sprialing foward.

The bit-beast, Driger, roared as it prowled foward. Then Driger R, surrounded by lighting, rushed foward.

"RADICAL SLASH!"

-

The impact blasted Galux right back into Mariah's hand badly damaged, while Rei fell to his knees.

The ring of fire diminished as the black sky turned blue once again. That where Lee, Mystel, and Kevin ran towards them.

"You did it, man!" Lee said, "You saved Mariah!" "You made us all proud, Rei!" Mystel said. "I couldn't of done it any better myself!" Kevin replied.

Rei stopped smiling as he walked over to the fallen Galuxia. Before doing though, Mariah stopped.

"Don't do it, Rei!" she said. "But she took over your body! She deserves this!" Lee said. "No she doesn't," Rei said that caught everybody except Mariah off guard. "Why is that!" Kevin said. "When I was speaking to Rei, minutes ago, I said that Galuxia wasn't evil!" Mariah replied, "She needed my body as a host! But, then she got mad over not becoming a living bit-beast, so she went ballistic!"

"What are you trying to say, Mariah?" Mystel asked.

"What she's trying to say is...Galuxia's dying." Rei said, "Because she couldn't hold the fusion between her and Mariah anymore."

Then they all looked down to see the Mariah clone as she opened her eyes.

"I'm...impressed..." she said softly, "...It's too bad...I...couldn't win..."

"Save your strength, Galuxia," Mariah said. "She right," Rei replied, "We'll help you!"

"As much...as...I...would be...I will die...any...second now. There is only...one gift...I would like...to give to you."

Raising her hand, Galuxia repaired and created a whole new Galux.

"Thank you...Galuxia..." Mariah said shedding a tear.

"Now...when Mariah...battles...I will battle along with...her. Take care...White Tiger X."

With that, Galuxia closed her eyes for the last time as she disappeared. Everyone except Rei grieved for her.

-Three hours later-

Back at the hut...

"I'm real sorry, you guys!" Mariah said, "If I would of told this from the begining none of this would have happened."

"It wasn't your fault, Mariah!" Rei said. "Yeah, it was Galuxia," Kevin said, "What you did what through her influence." "But it's good to have you back, sis!" Lee said.

"Thanks, Lee," Mariah said, "And with my new Galux 2, I'll be more helpful."

"What about you, Mystel?" Kevin asked, "Are you going back home?" "After what happened here," Mystel said, "I'm stickin' around you guys for a while!"

"By the way, Rei!" Mariah began, "I saw your battle between you and Galuxia. I must admit, your Driger R pretty cool!"

Rei just smiled and said, "Not Cool, but Radical!"

-

Narrator: Galuxia's spirit now lives inside Mariah's new beyblade after being defeated by Rei and his Driger Radical.

Now, with only Kai and Max to experience the bit-beasts, themselves, will they be powerful enough to stop them?

Kai: The fire means anger: to cause rage.

Max: The water means gentle: to keep calm.

Kai: Was I chosen to walk the path of benevolence?
