EPISODE 10: THE VANISHING OF EARTH'S INNOCENCE (PART 2).
"Use Water Gun!" Said Zane.
Azurill fired the it's attack, but Lillipup dodged it without Aiden even telling it to do so.
"Well, whatever they're up to is a mystery to me." Said Zane.
~IN THE STANDS~
"Aiden?" Said Minette.
"What's Aiden doing?" Asked Roxas.
~ON STAGE~
"Now let's just see how you respond to this." Said Zane. "Use Muddy Water!"
Azurill fired it's attack at it's opponent.
"Get in there, Lillipup, and use Last Resort!" Said Aiden.
Lillipup charged forward at the attack.
"Ah. What's this?" Asked Zane.
"If we can't dodge, we'll attack. Offence is the best defense." Said Aiden.
Lillipup charged right into the Muddy Water and used it's attack to go right through it.
"Yes! Way to go, Lillipup!" Said Aiden. "Alright, now let him have it! Use Hyper Voice!"
Lillipup charged at the Azurill and sent it's opponent flying.
"Are you alright, Azurill?" Asked Zane.
"Yeah, it worked!" Said Aiden. "That was awsome, Lillipup! Now don't let up! Use Swagger!"
Lillipup charged forward at Azurill.
"Water Pulse, go!" Said Zane.
A water ball formed around Azurill and the bey charged at Lillipup, hitting it's target.
"Lillipup!" Said Aiden.
~IN THE STANDS~
"That was Water Pulse." Said Hayner.
"There's no way you can stop an attack like that by just charging at it." Said Amber.
~ON STAGE~
"Hey, Lillipup, are you alright?" Asked Aiden. "Okay. What do you say, Lil? Go ahead. Lillipup, use covet!"
~IN THE STANDS~
"Now what? They're up to something." Said Pence.
"They sure are. Don't worry about them." Said Olette.
"Yeah! Show them who's boss, Aiden!" Gigi shouted.
~ON STAGE~
"Your bey spirit is impressive." Said Zane.
"Zane, i'm just getting started. I'm gonna win this match!" Said Aiden.
"In that case, use Surf!" Said Zane.
Azurill charged forward at Lillipup, but the bey dodged it.
~IN THE STANDS~
"Whoa. That was close." Said Gigi.
~ON STAGE~
Lillipup continued to dodge Azurill's attack over and over again.
"Now, Lillipup, Endure!" Said Aiden.
"Huh?!" Zane gasped.
"Do it now!" Said Aiden.
Lillipup charged at Azurill and attacked it.
"How clever." Said Zane sarcasticly.
"Now attack Azurill!" Said Aiden.
Lillipup attacked Azurill some more before sending it flying.
"Azurill! Are you okay?" Asked Zane. "Well done. That timing. That's what i was looking for. Azurill, use Rain Dance!"
Azurill charged forward at it's opponent.
"Use Fury Attack!" Said Aiden.
Lillipup charged at Azurill.
"Use Rain Dance and Scald and Soak!" Said Zane.
Azurill charged forward to use all three of it's attacks.
"Use Protect!" Said Aiden.
An amber colored circle appeared around Lillipup and Azurill charged slammed into the bey, causing an explosion. The smoke soon cleared, revealing an unharmed Lillipup.
"AH!" Zane gasped.
~IN THE STANDS~
"Go, Aiden!" Said Gigi.
"Working together like that, they're than twice as strong." Said Rex.
~ON STAGE~
"Awsome! Okay, Lillipup, let's finish this! Use Slash!" Said Aiden.
"Use Dive!" Said Zane.
Azurill charged forward and hit Lillipup and the two beys started pushing each other.
"Don't give up!" Said Aiden. "We're going to the top together, right? You can do it, Lillipup! You can't give up now!"
After a moment of the beys pushing each other, Lillipup began to glow.
"DO IT! SPECIAL MOVE! GIGA IMPACT!" Said Aiden.
Lillipup then sent Azurill flying back and then charged forward at the bey with it's special move!
"Azurill!" Said Zane.
Lillipup crashed into Azurill, ending the battle in an explosion.
Azurill then flew out of the stadium and landed behind Zane, defeated.
"Azurill is unable to battle! Lillipup wins it! Thus, the victory goes to Aiden!" Said DJ.
The crowd then started cheering and chanting Aiden's name.
"Alright!" Said Aiden.
~IN THE STANDS~
"Aiden won!" Said Minette.
"Yay, yay!" Added Gigi.
~ON STAGE~
Lillipup returned to Aiden's hand.
"Lillipup, you were amazing!" Said Aiden. "You were totally incredible."
Zane picked up Azurill. "You gave it everything you had and battled very bravely. Now take a good rest."
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"What was that?" Said Zane.
Just then black coat hooded figure appeared in the air, floating over the arena. He then took off his hood, revealing himself to be a man with long blond hair and green eyes. This was Vexen.
~IN THE SKY BOX~
"Who is that?" Asked Henry.
"I don't know, but he sure looks creppy." Said Cherleen.
"Oh no! Not now!" Said Olympia.
"Lady Olympia, do you know this guy?" Asked Henry.
"Yes, i do. He is Vexen, the 4'th member of Organization 13, and their research scientist." Said Olympia.
~IN THE STANDS~
"Who is that?" Hayner asked.
"It's one of those members of that Organization Olympia told us about yesterday." Said Roxas.
"Yeah, but what is he doing here?" Asked Olette.
"I don't know, but you can bet it's no good." Said Pence.
~ON STAGE~
Vexen then spotted Aiden and flew down to where he was.
"Ah!" Aiden fell on his butt. "W-who are you?"
"I am Vexen. The 4'th blader of Organization 13."
"Vexen?" Said Zane.
"Organization 13?" Said Aiden.
"That's right." Vexen got out his launcher and aimed it at Aiden. "Now give me your heart. No strings attached."
"Excuse me?" Said Aiden.
"Special Move! Krabby, Heart Snacher Attck!" Vexen launched his bey and it turned into it's beast form as it charged at Aiden. Krabby then went through the 9 year old boy's chest.
Aiden: "AHHHHHHHHH!"
~IN THE STANDS~
"Aiden!" Screamed Minette and the gang.
~IN THE SKYBOX~
"Oh no! Aiden!" Screamed Henry and Cherleen.
~ON STAGE~
The beast form of Krabby then withdrew itself from Aiden's chest with his heart crystal in it's claw.
Aiden then fell face down on the stage, completely lifeless.
"Aiden!" Said Zane before running over to his friend and bending down on his knees. "Aiden, are you alright? Aiden! Speak to me!"
Krabby returned to it's Vexen and handed him to the young boy's heart crystal before transforming back into it's bey form.
"Exelent." Vexen then turned his attenton to Minette and the gang. He put his bey in his launcher and aimed it at the audience. Vexen launched his bey and it turned into it's beast form and attacked the stands, causing the audience to flee in terror.
~IN THE SKYBOX~
Inside the skybox, Henry, Cherleen and Lady Olympia watched in horror as the beast form of Vexen's bey chased after Minette and her friends.
~WITH MINETTE AND THE GANG~
Minette and her friends continued to flee from the stands as the beast form of Krabby pursued them.
"Use Bubble Beam." Ordered Vexen.
Krabby fired it's attack out of it's claw and at Minette and the gang, hitting it's targets and sending the teens flying out of the stands.
"Meowstic, use Psychic!"
The beast form of Meowstic then caught Minette and her friends in the air with it's Psychic powers and laid them down gentally on the floor.
"What?!" Vexen gasped. He then looked and saw Lady Olympia standing near by. "So, it's you again, eh? Well, i'll just take care of both you and the Venus Blader and her friends right here. Krabby, use Water Pulse on the gym leader and the Venus Blader and all of her friends."
Water Pulse then formed in both of Krabby's claws and it fired it's attack at the trio of friends.
Minette and her friends closed their eyes and prepared for the worst.
Just then two beys charged forward and hit both Water Pulse's, ending the attacks in an explosion.
Minette and the gang opened their eye and saw that they were all still alive.
"Huh?" Said the gang.
"What? What is this?" Gasped Vexen.
"We're okay." Said Gigi.
"Yeah, but how, is the question." Said Rex.
"Look there." Amber pointed at two beys spinning on the floor in front of her and the gang. One was red and the other was blue.
"That's what saved us? Two beys?" Asked Minette.
"Yeah, but who are the bladers?" Asked Roxas.
"We are." Came a female voice.
The gang watched as the beys sped off into the smoke from the explosion.
Inside the dark smoke, a male-like shadowy figure stepped out of the darkness.
"Director of the Paris Texas WBBA in America, i am Henry Miller." He held up his red bey. "And this is my bey, Yveltal."
A female-like figure stepped out of the smoke next, revealing herself as well. "Cherleen is the name." She held up her blue bey. "Xerneas is the game."
"Mom! Dad!" Said Gigi.
"I should've known! It's that Paris Texas cow boy Director and his cow girl wife! Get them!" Said Vexen.
Krabby charged forward at the two beys and Xerneas and Yveltal charged at Krabby and both beys attacked their opponent.
"Cherleen, take Aiden and the others and get them out of here now! I'll hold him off from here until help arrives!" Said Henry.
"Right! Come on, everyone, let's go!" Said Cherleen.
"Right." Said the gang.
Pence picked up the lifeless body of Aiden. "All set."
Cherleen led the gang over towards the exit, with her bey following them close behind.
"Oh no you don't! Krabby, stop them with Muddy Water!" Said Vexen.
Krabby turned into it's beast form and fired it's attack at them, stopping them in their tracks.
"Yveltal, use Air Slash!" Said Henry.
The beast form of Yveltal then charged forward and blocked the attack, saving the others.
"Thanks, Henry!" Said Cherleen.
"Way to go, Dad!" Added Gigi.
"Don't mention it. Now go! Hurry!" Said Henry.
"Be careful, Henry!" Said Olympia.
The whole gang then ran through the exit tunnel of the arena.
~OUTSIDE THE ARENA~
Minette and the others rushed outside the arena and she stopped in her tracks.
Hayner took notice of this and stopped in his tracks. "Minette, what are you doing?"
This caused the others to stop in their tracks as well. "Why did you stop? This is the way to get out of here!"
"Vexes is coming!" Said Minette.
"Transform now, Minette! And hurry!" Said Olympia.
"Transform? What do you mean?" Said Zane.
"Venus Star Power!" Said Minette. The 17 year old girl's fingernails transitioned into orange, beginning the transformation and she transformed into Blader Venus.
the tunnel entrance to the arena then exploded, sending Henry flying out. He landed on the ground a foot away from the group and his bey landed next to him.
"Dad!" Said Gigi.
"Henry!" Added Cherleen.
The two rushed to their husband/father and bent down to his angle.
"Are you alright, Henry?" Asked Cherleen.
"(Panting) Yeah, i...i think so, darling. (Grunts) But that Vexes guy isn't like any blader i've ever seen in my life. He's strong." Said Henry.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
The gang then looked and saw Vexes flying out of the now burnning arena.
"Stuff it, loud mouth! You couldn't win a tournament fairly if your life depended on it! I'm Blader Venus, the blader of justice, and i wish i'd asked for a refund! I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! And that means you, mister!" Said Blader Venus. "Give it up now!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Never!" Said Vexes. "Krabby, use Brine!"
Krabby fired it's attack at the gang, hitting it's targets, ending the attack in an explosion.
The smoke soon cleared and there were Venus and her friends, on the ground, covered in scraches.
"Use Crabhammer and finish this up!" Said Vexen.
Krabby charged forward and the gang to finish them off with it's attack, but as it did, the beast form of Darkrai crashed into it, stopping the attack in an explosion.
"Look! It's Lady Shadow!" Said Venus.
Lady Shadow stood on top of a street light.
"You'll regret that, miss masquraide party girl! Krabby, use Scald!" Said Vexes.
Krabby fired it's attack at the bey form of Darkrai, but the Dark type bey dodged it.
"Giratina, use Dragon Breath!" Said Gigi as she launched her bey.
Giratina fired it's attack at Krabby, but Krabby dodged it and the attack hit the ground instead.
"Oh no!" Gigi gasped.
"Hey, Gigi, these parking lots costs a lot of money to be made. Try to hit your opponent next time." Said Cherleen.
"Bring it on, losers." Said Vexes.
"You want more? We'll give you more!" Said Rex.
"And plenty of it!" Added Amber.
"Use Whirlpool!" Said Vexes.
A huge whirlpool formed around Krabby and it charged at the gang.
"Neptune Deep Submerge!"
A green blue-green sphere charged forward and took out Krabby's Whirlpool attack.
"Neptune! Uranus!" Said Venus.
Standing on two street lights were Bladers Uranus and Neptune.
"Angered by your unfair way of battling, Blader Uranus joins the show."
"We'll take over from here, Blader Venus." Said Neptune.
"What do you mean by that? Why not work together?" Asked Olympia.
"Sorry. We don't have time to answer your questions." Said Uranus.
"We're after the true goodness. Three pure heart crystals. And that black coat, hooded blader just might have one of them." Said Neptune.
"So you're not Planetary Bladers. You're just a couple of imposter pretending that you wanna fight the enemy. So why don't you get lost. My friends and i have got everything under control." Said Venus.
"What's this? Two new Planetary Bladers? Well, not for long! Krabby, use Auqua Ring on the Neptune blader!" Ordered Vexes.
Krabby charged ar Neptune, ready to attack her.
"No! Leone, save her!" Said Venus.
Leone charged at Krabby and attacked it, preventing it from hitting Neptune.
Neptune looked down at my heart. "You saved my life."
"Well, it's kind of my job." Said Venus.
"Alright, enough fooling around." Uranus aimed her launcher. "Let It Rip! Uranus World Shaking!" She launched her bey and it charged at Krabby and hit it's target.
"You're up, Blader Venus." Said Lady Shadow in calm tone.
"Right! You got it!" Said Venus. "Special Move! Venus Spiral Heart Attack!"
Venus Leone charged at Krabby in it's orange Lion form and collided with it's opponent, defeating it, ending the battle with an explosion. The smoke soon cleared and the bey form of Krabby then melted away.
The heart crystal then floated out of Vexes's hand and into Neptune's.
The two Planetary Bladers jumped down onto the ground.
Unbeknownst to everyone, Lady Shadow had already left the area.
"Hmph. His boss will not be happy." Said Uranus
Neptune walked up to Uranus with the heart crystal in her hand. "Uranus."
"It's a very pretty one, but not a pure heart crystal." Said Uranus.
"Uranus, Neptune! How can you tell if the heart crystal's right? And what do heart crystals do?" Asked Minette.
"I think we'll just try to let you figure it out for yourself." Uranus proceeded to let go of the heart crystal and let it float back into it's owner's chest, but Neptune stopped her by grabbing her hand.
"Uranus, a child's heart is very delicate, we have to be careful. Let's go and place it gentaly." Said Neptune. She and Uranus walked over to where the group was and Uranus walked up to Pence, who was holding Aiden in his arms. She then released the heart crystal and it entered back into Aiden's chest. The two Planetary Bladers then disappeared right in front of the gang.
"Wait a minute!" Said Venus. "Oh, they're always taking off without saying goodbye!"
"Yeah, but don't hold it against them. They really are on our side." Said Cherleen.
Aiden then slowly opened his eyes, regainning caunsciousness. "Huh? Where am i?"
"How 'bout that. Aiden's awake." Said Pence.
"I guess that heart crystal thing really did the trick, huh?" Said Roxas.
"Aiden!" Said Henry, Cherleen and Gigi as they ran up to him.
"Are you alright, Aiden?" Asked Gigi.
"I think so. Just get me three pieces of fish and i'll be alright." Said Aiden.
"He's back to normal." Said Zane.
"Can you walk, son?" Asked Henry.
"I think so. Let's see." Said Aiden.
Pence placed Aiden on the ground on his feet and the 9 year old boy stood straight up. "Yep, i can walk."
"Thank goodness." Said Cherleen.
"Boy, what a day. Big bummer. I wanted to try and win the first round." Said Zane.
"Maybe another time. Wanna get some Pizza instead?" Said Aiden.
"Yeah! I'm starved!" Said Zane.
"One track moment." Said Roxas.
"I thought so." Added Hayner.
"Pizza sounds great. Mom, Dad, you guys want some Pizza?" Said Gigi.
"Maybe later. Your Mother and i are gonna head over to the WBBA and have a little chat with the director about the incident. You and your friends can on ahead." Said Henry.
"You're not coming with us?" Said Aiden, slightly disappointed.
"I wish i could sweety, but now that i'm pregnant, the smell of Pizza makes me nauseous. But tomorrow you, me, your father and your sister will spend the entire day together as a family. That sounds good, right?" Said Cherleen.
"Yeah! We can make it a familys' day out!" Said Aiden.
"Sounds good to me." Said Henry.
"I'll stay behind as well and see if i can convense the director to postpone the rest of the tournament. You kids go on ahead and enjoy yourselves." Added Lady Olympia.
"Okay, thanks. See you later." Said Gigi. She and the gang then walked off, leaving Cherleen, Henry and Lady Olympia behind.##################################################################################
~IN OUTER SPACE~
Up in outer space, inside a futuristic space station, Lady Shadow walked down the dark quiet halls, with the sound of high heel shoe foot steps being heard. She soon made it to the end of the hallway and stood in front of a futuristic door. She reached into her black pocket and pulled out a black credit card with a baby blue square-shape that had her picture on it. She placed the card up on a scanner and it glowed baby blue and scanned the card, opening the door automaticly. Lady Shadow entered inside a futuristic room and the door closed behind her.
Lady Shadow then spotted a figure sitting in a futuristic seat in front of a control pannel and facing a big futuristic theater screen. She then walked up to the figure from behind and stopped a foot away from the seat.
The figure's face was covered in red bandages, accept for his right eye and mouth, and two intersecting belts were tide around his head, one passed over where his left eye should be. He wore a long red cape with an odd angular cut taken out at the chest, the edges of which are yellow. This cut exposed a similarly oblong white symbol on a pitch black-shirt.
Overtop this shirt, he wore grey, segmented armor over his sides and abdomen, his legs were covered by a long black cloth lined with yellow, which had several brown straps pinned onto the front. On the yellow sash that hanged around his waist were three brown pouches, with a dark colored scarf around his neck. He also had light colored sleeves. This was DiZ. The man who Lady Shadow and few others worked for.
"I have returned." Said Lady Shadow in a calm tone.
"I see that. And might i ask why?" Said the figure known as DiZ.
"There's been another Heart Snacher Attack." Answered Lady Shadow.
"In America?" Asked DiZ.
"Kalos. In Anistar City. The victim was a 9 year old boy." Said Lady Shadow.
"Who attacked this time?" Asked DiZ.
"Vexes." Said Lady Shadow.
"The 4'th member of Organization 13?" Said DiZ.
"Yes." Said Lady Shadow.
"And what of the boy?" Asked DiZ.
"The boy is fine. Minette and her new friends defeated the Vexes and got the heart crystal back. With the aid of those other two Planetary Bladers." Said Lady Shadow.
"Uranus and Neptune." Said DiZ.
"That is correct." Said Lady Shadow.
"I see. So...the enemy is becoming more and more bold and desprate by the minute, are they?" Said DiZ.
"It would appear so. What do you purpose we do now?" Said Lady Shadow.
Diz rolled around in his seat to face Lady Shadow. "Summon the others back here at once. This calls for a big meeting."
"Right." Said Lady Shadow before walking off.
Once Lady Shadow left out of the room, DiZ turned back to the control pannel and looked up at the big screen.##################################################################################
Back on Earth, at the Anistar City Mall, Minette and her friends were all sitting at a table near a food court, eating Pizza and chatting amongst each other as they cellebrated Aiden's victory. Well, almost everyone.
While the others were eat and talking with each other, Aiden was sitting with his elbows on the table, stairing off into his pizza.
"Man, does that tick you off?" Said Hayner.
"Yeah, that's just wrong." Said Pence.
"Those Heart Snachers have gone too far this time." Added Olette.
"I know. Interupting a tournament like that? How rude can you get?" Said Roxas.
"And to top it off, the guy destroyed the arena. We can't even finish the tournament." Said Minette.
"Well, i wouldn't say that." Said Rex.
"Huh?" Said the others, minus Aiden, as they all looked at Rex.
"What do you mean, Rex?" Asked Gigi.
"It's true that the arena was totaled, but i believe the director of the Anistar City WBBA will keep the tournament open. The (2012) Anistar City Bey Tournament is filled with many strong bladers. So if he wants the tournament to continue, i can't really blame him." Said Rex.
"But the director has to close everything down, doesn't he? I mean he can't just ignore someone attacking his tournament." Said Zane.
"Clearly you haven't been to business school. If my instinks are correct, the director will simply state that no one knows what they saw. I'm willing to bet he's trying to cover this whole thing up right now." Said Rex.
"I doubt it. My parents work for the WBBA too. With any luck, they're probably there right now, explaning to the director about the incident and convincing him to either close or postpone the tournament." Said Gigi.
"Oh, you think so, huh?" Said Amber.
"Uh-huh. Absolutely." Said Gigi.
~AT THE WBBA~
"Absolutely NOT!" Said the director of the Anistar City WBBA.
Cherleen, Henry and Olympia were standing in the office at the director's desk, informing him of the events that happened at the (2012) Anistar City Bey Tournament after the first round.
Standing next to the director was a woman with blood red hair. She wore white shades with red lenses, red lipstick, gold earings, a white suit top with gold trims around the collar, a red shirt underneath with gold buttons, a white short skirt, red stockings that covered her whole legs and white high heel shoes.
"Why not?" Asked Henry.
"Out of the question. We've never cancelled or postponed this event, and we're not gonna start now." Said the director.
"But Director Lysandre, you have to close the tournament." Said Cherleen.
"The tournament stays open." Said Lysandre.
"You can't just ignore a psychotic blader attacking your tournament." Said Olympia.
"Clearly you three haven't been to business school. My dear, no one's sure what they saw. It could've been a rabid fan, it could've been someone trying to get into the arena. It could've also been someone competing in the tournament." Said Lysandre.
"We are not asking for much, director." Said Henry. "All we are asking is that you take the safety of the people of Anistar City at heart. Do you want someone else to fall victim to this guy like our son, Aiden, did?"
"Well, it's pretty clear to me that something did happen here." Said Lysandre. "There's nothing i can do about it."
Henry: "But director..."
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey," Began Lysandre. "we're not set up for things like this. Our motto is "To Serve And Protect." Not "To Serve And Protect" from supernatural bladers. Flare, would you mind showing these three to the door?"
"Yes, director." Said the red haired woman known as Flare. "Right this way, please." She led Cherleen, Henry and Lady Olympia over to the door and held it open for them and they all left out of the room and she closed the door behind them.
~OUTSIDE THE OFFICE~
"Well, that went well." Said Cherleen.
"Well, you know what this means, don't you?" Asked Henry.
"What? We respect the director's wishes and go back home and pretend like this never happened?" Said Cherleen.
"Nope. It means we investigate." Said Henry.
"I had a feeling you'd say that." Said Olympia.
"No wonder i married you." Added Cherleen before she, Henry and Olympia walked off.
~WITH MINETTE AND FRIENDS~
Back at the Mall, Minette and her friends were still chatting amongst each other while eating their pizza.
Aiden had his elbows on the table, looking down at his pizza.
"It'll be okay." Said Gigi as she placed a hand on Aiden's shoulder.
"What?" Asked Aiden.
"You're sad because Mom and Dad couldn't be here to cellebrate with us, aren't you?" Said Gigi.
"Not just that," Said Aiden. "the baby too. I mean, ever since Mom and Dad found out they were going to have a baby they've been ignoring me. They didn't even ask me how i would feel if they had another kid, they just decided to have one. Everyone makes a big fuss over the baby, and i get ignored. I only entered myself in the tournament to please them, in the hopes of getting their attention."
"Aiden, if you feel this way about the baby, why don't you just tell them?" Said Amber.
"Why? All they ever talk about now is the baby." Said Aiden.
"Aiden, that's because they're excited." Said Minette.
"Why do they even need a baby? What's wrong with me?" Asked Aiden.
"Aiden, there's nothing wrong with you." Said Gigi.
"Then why aren't they paying attention to me?" Asked Aiden.
"Maybe they got caught up in the moment of preparing for your little brother or sister." Said Hayner.
"But once it gets here, i'll be invisible. Nobody pays attention to the middle kid." Said Aiden.
"What? Aiden, no. Where did you get that rediculous idea?" Asked Gigi.
"From you. You told me this morning that when a baby is born, the middle kid is always invisible." Said Aiden.
"Way to go, Gigi." Said Amber.
"I was wrong about that." Said Gigi. "Aiden, you will not be invisible."
"Gigi's right. You're gonna be a big brother." Added Zane.
"Yeah, a big brother that baby will need and depend on." Said Minette.
"And your contributions are gonna make a big difference." Said Amber.
"I know, but i still don't know if i'm ready to be a big brother or if i want to be one." Said Aiden.
"I tell you what," Began Gigi. "tomorrow, on familys' day out, you and i will sit down with Mom and Dad and share with them this information about how you feel. How's that sound?"
"I guess that would be okay." Said Aiden.
"Then it's settled. Tomorrow it is." Said Gigi.
"Thanks." Said Aiden.
"Do you guys think we'll always be together like this?" Asked Pence.
"I sure hope so." Said Olette.
"Huh? Where did that come from?" Asked Roxas.
"Oh. Uh...well, you know...just thinkin' out loud." Said Pence.
"Well, i doubt we could be together forever." Said Hayner.
"But isn't that what growing up is all about?" Asked Minette.
"What's important isn't how often we see each other, but how often we think about each other. Right, Rexy?" Said Gigi.
"(Laughing) Get that off a fortune cookie?" Zane joked.
"That's it. No more pizza for you." Said Amber.
"She still wears that necklace, you know." Said Aiden.
"Huh? Who?" Asked Gigi.
"Mom. She still wears that necklace. You know, the one you gave her?" Said Aiden.
"She never takes it off." Said Aiden. "They're gonna be alright, right? Mom and Dad."
"Yes. Of course. Mom and Dad just had to go to work, there's nothing they could do, okay?" Said Gigi.
"Did Dad tell you about the tournament i won back home in Paris, Texas?" Asked Aiden.
"Are you kidding me? You're all he talked about. He said that you were the best blader in all of the state of Texas. And you know what?" Said Gigi.
"What?" Asked Aiden.
"He's right." Said Gigi.
Aiden and Gigi then imbraced each other with a hug.
"I love you." Said Aiden.
"I love you too." Said Gigi.
As the two siblings hugged, the strangest thing happened. Aiden, Zane and all of the other kids under 13, who were sitting at tables, eating, disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving their cloths, shoes and socks behind. Roxas had also vanished.
"AHH!" Amber screamed as she looked at the seat where Zane once sat and saw that his cloths were now in it and his shoes and socks laid on the floor.
Several other people in the Mall screamed in horror as the cloths and shoes of several children dropped from the sealing to the floor. The people at the Pizza restaurant were also panicing from what they had just witnessed.
Gigi staired on in shock at Aiden's grey t-shirt, which she held in her arms, as well as his blue shorts, bey belt and launcher, that were in the chair he once sat in, and his white sneekers, which were now lying on the floor.
Minette, Hayner, Pence, Olette and Rex all stood up from their seats in shock and horror, not believing what they had just witnessed. Aiden, Zane and all of the other little kids at the Pizza restaurant had simply vanished, leaving behind nothing but their cloths, shoes, bey belts, launchers and other posessions.
Minette opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out.
"(Hyperventilating) Zane!" Said Amber as she quickly stood up from her seat.
"Roxas! Roxas, where are you?!" Called Hayner as he, Pence and Olette looked around the Mall of now screaming and panicing people.
"Roxas! Roxas!" Called Olette.
"Roxas! Are you there, buddy? Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Shouted Pence.
"(Screams)! Zane! Where are you?" Said Amber.
Minette and the others, minus Gigi, looked at their surroundings and saw that there were several kinds of cloths on the floor, scattered around the Mall. They quickly noticed that all of the cloths had one thing in common...They were all little kids size.
"(Screams)! Zane!" Said Amber before picking up Zane's shirt, pants, sneekers and socks and bey belt and launcher. She then ran off through the Mall.
"Amber! Amber, wait!" Said Minette. "Come on, you guys, let's follow her!"
"Right. Come on, Gigi! Said Rex.
Gigi gathered up Aiden's cloths, shoes, bey belt and launcher and she and the other followed after Amber.
Meanwhile, Amber ran through the Mall in search of her little brother, Zane, while all of the other people in the building were in a state of panic. As she looked for him, she quickly noticed that there were several other little kids cloths, shoes, bey belts and launchers scattered all around the area, and many adults and teenagers were screaming, crying and running. What was going on?
Just then, a woman rushed up to Amber, holding a little girl's cloths, stopping the 16 year old girl in her tracks. "Help! Have you seen my daughter? Have you seen her? I don't know where she is?"
A woman and a man ran up to Amber. The woman was holding the cloths of a girl while the man was holding the cloths of a boy.
"Excuse me, have you seen our kids?" Asked the man.
"Where are they? Where are my kids?" Asked the woman.
Amber then dropped Zane's cloths and sneekers and they fell to the floor. She then turned around and headed back to where her friends were. These people's kids were missing, just like Zane, Aiden and Roxas were. It was then that realization has set in. It wasn't just Aiden, Zane and Roxas that vanished...countless other kids had vanished as well. The only question was...how many?
While running through the Mall, trying to catch up with Amber, Minette and the gang looked around and saw a whole bunch of other scattered little kids cloths, and the people were screaming, panicing and crying. They also heard some of the peoples' complains. Complaints, like...
"My kids!"
"I can't find my kids!"
"My kids!"
"I can't find my kids!"
"Where are the kids?"
"My grandkids, i can't find them! They were sitting right here!"
"What is going on here?" Asked Hayner.
"You guys!" Came a voice.
The gang looked and saw Amber running up to them.
"Amber!" Said the gang before towards her.
Amber and the gang ran up to each other.
"Amber, what's going on?" Asked Gigi.
"You guys, children are missing." Said Amber.
"Missing? What do you mean missing?" Asked Minette.
"A whole bunch of children are just gone. Vanished." Said Amber.
"Amber, it's a big Mall. Maybe they're just hidding or something." Said Hayner.
"I'm telling you. They are not here. They are not anywhere. I'm telling you doesens of children are missing." Said Amber.
"Amber, maybe you're just seeing things over the vanishing of Zane." Olette.
"I am not crazy! Come see for yourselves!" Said Amber.
"I agree with Olette. You're probably just hallucinating from what we saw happen with Aiden, Zane and Roxas.
"YOU GUYS!" Shouted Amber. "Their cloths, their shoes, their bey belts, their launchers, this is crazy! They're all left behind! The children are GONE! Come with me and look for yourselves."
The gang then followed Amber as she lead them through the now panicing Mall. They looked around and saw that there were more little kids cloths scattered around the area. And as they ran they heard and saw more people complaining to the staff about the missing children.
"(Crying) Sir! Sir, my Grandson has disappeared!" Said an old woman talking to a male security gaurd.
"Officer, my kids! Have you seen my kids?" A man asked another officer.
"They're gone! My babies!" Said a woman to another male officer.
"They haven't gone far. Please, just let us do our job." Said the officer.
"Where are they?" Asked the woman in a state of panic.
"What's going on, Minette?" Asked Pence.
"I don't know." Said Minette.
~WITH CHERLEEN AND HENRY~
Meanwhile, Cherleen and Henry were riding through Anistar City in a yellow WBBA jeep, on their way to the Mall to cellebrate with Aiden and his friends and congratulate him on his victory.
Cherleen was talking on her cellphone as she sat in the front passenger seat while her husband, Henry, drove the vehicle. "Hi, Gigi, it's me. Your father and i just wanted to appologize for missing Aiden's cellebration this after...(Gasps)!" The black haired woman was cut off when she passed out and dropped her phone.
"Cherleen!" Said Henry. "Cherleen. Cherleen." He said shaking his now unconscious wife. "Cherleen! Cherleen! Baby!" Henry shook her even harder, but she wouldn't wake up. He then brought the jeep to a screaching holt.
In front of him were a number of wrecked vehicles, as well as panicing people. Hnery then looked and saw a man who was bleed severely.
"Oh no!" Said Henry. He exited the Jeep and went to aid the injured man. "Are you okay?"
"My son disappeared. My son isn't in there." He said as he pointed at a car near by.
Henry got out his cellphone and dialed a number. "It's okay, sir, you're in shock." When he couldn't get anyone on the phone, he hung up and put it back in his pocket.
The WBBA director ran over to the car the man was pointing at earlier and looked inside, only to find nothing but a set of 12 year old cloths, a bey belt and a launcher in the front passenger seat, as well as a pair of sneekers in the floor, along with some socks in the shoes.
Henry couldn't believe it. The man was right. His son really had disappeared. Leaving only his cloths, shoes, bey and launcher behind. What in the world was happening?
"My Baby! NO!" Came a voice.
Henry turned and saw a woman standing near a vehicle and ran up to her.
"What's happening? What's going on?" Asked Henry.
"(Crying) My baby, did you see him?! He disappeared from his car seat, his cloths are there!" The woman then ran off looking for help. "Please! Please, somebody help me! Please, my baby! No! Anybody, please! Please, somebody help me, please!"
Henry looked inside the car and saw that there was nothing inside but a car seat in the back with baby cloths in it, as well as baby toys in the back seat. He ran back to where the jeep was and got inside and drove off.
~AT THE MALL~
Amber ran through the panicing Mall ahead of her friends who were trying to keep up with her. A car then crashed through the double glass doors and rode up to the 16 year old blond, knocking her down to the floor. Amber then got to her feet and walked over to where the car was and looked inside and saw that the male driver was unconscious. She also saw the cloths of an 11 year old boy in the front passenger seat and his sneekers in the floor.
"ZANE!" Amber screamed before continuing through the Mall of panicing people.
As Minette and the others ran through the mall, they saw all kinds of people in panic, as well as others doing some of everything. Like robbing, stealing stuff out the stores. And some of them were even stealing the cloths, shoes, beys and launchers that all the children were wearing before they vanished. Why they were doing that, was a mystery to anyone. The gang then stopped in their tracks and looked on a huge flat screen T.V. On the screen was a Kalos WBBA News report about the mysterious vanishings.
Meanwhile, the crowd of panicing people were all talking and pleading with staff members.
"Everyone remain calm!" Said a female voice.
This seemed to do no good, as the people were still screaming and panicing.
"My baby!" Screamed a woman.
Amber soon reached the exit and rushed out of the building as a number of people exited the Mall with stolen cloths, shoes and other products. Going outside was a mistake, for outside was a crowd of screaming and panic people fleeing for their lives, as well as a number of wrecked vehicles in the street. Never the less, the 16 year old girl continued running.
Minette and her friends soon reached the exit of the mall and ran out and saw the disasters unfolding right before their very eyes.
"What the world is going on?" Asked Pence, who was now holding Zane's cloths, shoes, bey belt and launcher in his arms.
"I don't know. But it must have something to do with the missing children." Said Minette.
"Oh my good." Said Gigi. "Where's Amber?" She asked as she looked around for her friend.
Rex then spotted Amber running through the panicing parking lot. "There she is!"
The others looked and saw Amber and began following after her.
"Hey, Amber, wait for us!" Screamed Olette.
As the gang ran after Amber, a white WBBA Jeep pulled up right in front of her, blocking her path and allowing the others to catch up with her.
The window on the right front passenger door rolled down, revealing an unconscious Cherleen.
"Mom! Dad!" Said Gigi.
"There you guys are! Get in!" Henry shouted over the panicing, screaming people, chaos and distruction.
Minette and her friends all got in the back seat of the Jeep and the vehicle sped off.
~INSIDE THE JEEP~
Henry looked back at the gang. "Are you guys okay?"
"If by 'Okay' you mean scared out of our wits and confused, then yeah, we're fine." Said Olette.
"Well, at least you're all alright." Henry then noticed Gigi crying while holding a grey t-shirt, a pair of blue shorts, white sneekers, a bey belt and a launcher in her arms. "Gigi, are you alright?"
"No." Gigi sobbed.
"Honey, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Asked Henry.
"(Crying) It's Aiden." Said Gigi.
"What about Aiden? Where is he? And where are Zane and Roxas?" Asked Henry.
"(Crying) I don't know. Aiden, Zane and Roxas are just gone, they just disappeared." Said Gigi.
Henry reached in the back and grabbed ahold of Aiden's grey shirt. "Aiden...oh no. No."
"Gigi, can you tell us what happened?" Asked Henry.
"(Crying) Nothing. I was...i was sitting next to him in the Mall at the food court with the others, cellebrating his victory. Then he, just vanished right in front of me, along with Zane and Roxas and countless other children. And people were screaming. I don't know." Gigi said.
Henry held the grey t-shirt close to her chest. "Oh no...No. Aiden."
The Jeep drove through the street and headed back for the Anistar City WBBA.
~AT THE WBBA~
At the WBBA, inside the waitingroom, the gang was sitting around, waiting to hear from the doctor on Cherleen and the baby's condition.
"Minette, do you think my Mom's gonna be okay?" Asked Gigi.
"Yes, Gigi, yes. Just have faith. She's a strong blader." Said Minette.
"Yeah, so was Aiden." Said Gigi.
"She's gonna get through this. We're all gonna get through this, alright?" Said Minette.
"(Crying) Even if we do get through this, things can't never go back to exactly the way they were." Said Amber.
"Why would you say something like that, Amber?" Asked Minette.
"(Crying) I don't know, i just...i just feel it." Said Amber.
"You guys just have to have faith. Just keep praying for her, okay?" Said Minette.
Henry then entered into the room and all of the teens stood and went up to him.
"Dad? What happened? What did the doctor say?" Asked Gigi.
"I don't know, they threw me out of the room." Said Henry.
"What? Why?" Asked Olette.
"They said i was acting more like a panicked husband than a WBBA director. Do i look like i'm panicking to you? Do i really look like i'm panicking?" Said Henry.
"Yes." Said all of the teens.
"It's gonna be okay, alright?" Minette asured.
"Director Henry, i need to speak with you." Said a male doctor, in a british accent, as he entered the room.
"Sure, what is it?" Said Henry.
"Alone." Said the doctor.
"Come on, what is it?" Asked Gigi.
"We're family, doc. Whatever you need to say to me, you can say to all of us." Said Henry.
"Are you sure?" Asked the doctor.
"Dad..."
"You know what, Gigi? Why don't you and your friends going into the director's office and wait there?" Said Henry.
"Are you sure about this, Dad?" Asked Gigi.
"I'll be right back." Said Henry before leaving out of the room with the doctor.
Rex then placed his arms around Gigi. "It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay."
##################################################################################
Later, in the director's office, Gigi was now holding Aiden's t-shirt close to her chest, as well as his shorts, bey belt, launcher and sneekers.
"She's been acting like this since we lost Aiden. There's nothing that any of us can say or do to make her depart from his shirt." Said Hayner.
"(Crying) This is all my fault." Said Gigi.
"Your fault? How is it your fault?" Asked Pence.
"(Crying) I feel so guilty. I shouldn't have told Aiden that once the baby was born he was gonna be invisible. I never even got the chance to tell him that i was sorry for what i said and how i made him feel towards the baby. Oh, i'm terrible big sister." Said Gigi.
"Hey, don't say that. You're a teriffic big sister." Rex asured.
"(Crying) No, i'm not. No, i'm not, i'm a bad big sister." Said Gigi.
"Gigi, please don't say things like that." Said Rex.
"Why not? It's true." Said Gigi.
"No, it isn't true." Said Rex.
"(Crying) Rex, i told Aiden that when the baby was born, he'd be invisible. I made him hate the baby and feel like he was unwanted even more just to tease him. I know i shouldn't have told him that. What was i thinking? What kind of good sister is that?" Said Gigi.
"Is that what's bothering you? You're upset because you teased Aiden about the baby?" Asked Rex.
Gigi: "Not just that. Ever since these vanishings, i have been constantly thinking about him and how he simply vanished into thin air. And now i'm worried that..."
"You're worried that you won't be able to tell him that you're sorry?" Said Rex.
"Yes. I never got the chance to tell him how sorry i am for making him dislike the baby with my teasing. I wish i could just see him again, so that i can tell him how sorry i am." Said Gigi.
"You will, Gigi, i promise." Rex asured.
"Rex, look around. Aiden, Zane, Roxas and countless other kids have disappeared here in Kalos. And not just disappeared but vanished! VANISHED into thin air! How do you find someone after witnessing something like that?" Asked Gigi.
"I...i don't know." Said Rex.
"That's what i thought." Said Gigi in a saddened tone.
Just then Lysandre and Flare entered the room, closing the door behind them.
"Hello. I'm Director Lysandre. This is my assistant, Flare."
"What's going on?" Asked Minette.
"My brother. Where is my brother?" Asked Amber.
"Where's my brother?" Asked Gigi.
"Where's our friend, Roxas?" Asked Hayner.
"I know you all want answers, and believe me, so do i, and i'll do my best to get them. But right now, as Director of the WBBA, i have to do my job so that we're all safe." Said Lysandre.
"Safe? Safe from what?" Asked Pence.
"Safe from our own panic." Said Lysandre. "Which is the biggest threat to this town right now. Now i'm going to ask Officer Jenny and the WBBA officers to investigate this incident and have them to do a head cout on the people here in Anistar City. Whatever happened to those children, we'll find them. I haven't been able to reach anyone yet, so i-i don't know if this...event...was isolated to Anistar City or if other areas in Kalos have been affected. But i promise, as soon as i have something to tell you, i will."
"That's it?" Said Rex.
"What?" Said Olette.
"Someone needs to make a plan. Why isn't anyone making a plan?" Asked Minette.
"That's usually my Dad's stratagey." Said Gigi.
"You're right! What's wrong with him?" Minette paniced.
The door bell to the office then rang.
"I'll get it." Said Flare. She walked over to the door and opened it, only to see that there was no one standing on the other side. "Huh?" She then looked down on the floor and saw a yellow envelope package with the letter 'S' stampped on it in red. She picked it up and closed the door to the office.
"What is it, Flare?" Asked Lysandre.
"Someone left this envelope package on the floor. It has the letter 'S' stampped on it in red." Said Flare.
"The letter 'S'? Mr. Scream." Minette thought. "Hey, uh, can i see that for a sec?"
"Sure." Flare walked over to Minette and handed her the evelope package. "Here you go."
"Thank you." Said Minette. She opened the package and pulled out a piece of paper.
"What is it?" Asked Hayner.
"It looks like one of those cut out News paper articals." Said Olette.
"It is one of those cut out News paper articals." Said Minette.
"Really? What's it say?" Asked Pence.
"Listen to this. This artical's from 8 years ago. It says 7 kids disappeared back in (2003)." Said Minette. She examined the picture of the 7 missing children. Six of them were boys and one was a girl. The words at the top said 'LOCAL KIDS MISSING.' "(Gasp)!"
"What is it, Minette?" Asked Gigi.
"The locket my friend, Sarah found. The one with the picture of the boy and girl inside? It's them." Minette opened the locket that was around her neck and showed the gang both the picture of the boy and girl inside and the news paper artial of the missing kids that disappeared.
"Oh my. I guess we've got a new mystery on our hands." Said Amber.
"Yeah, you said it." Added Rex.
"Let me see that." Said Lady Olympia as she took the paper away from Minette and looked at it.
"Is something wrong, Olympia? Do you know them?" Asked Minette.
"No. Sorry, it's nothing." Said Olympia before handing the paper back to Minette.
Minette then dug into the package envelope and pulled out a VHS tape.
"It looks like the artical comes with a movie." Said Pence.
Hayner then took the tape from Minette and walked over to desk, picked up the remote and press a button, opening the DVD player attached to the big screen. He walked up to the screen and tried to place the tape inside the DVD player, but it wouldn't fit. "It won't fit."
Flare then walked up to Henry and took the tape from him. "It's a VHS, Hayner. Old school." She walked over to the VCR that rested on Lysandre's desk and put the tape inside and pressed 'PLAY.'
The screen then came on, revealing a puppet that looked like the one in the horror movie "SAW."
"Hello, children. If you've read the artical, you know that these vanishings aren't the first time kids have disappeared without a trace. Worth researching, don't you think?" Said the puppet before the screen went to static.
"What was that all about?" Asked Gigi.
"Beats me." Said Rex.
Just then, the WBBA News came on the screen, and on the screen was a man stood in front of a nuclear power plant with a microphone in his hand. The broadcast was coming from UK London, England.
"We're experiencing a very serious situation. Plant management here has so far been unavalible for comment. However, unofficel sources have indicated that the entire Northern part of the plant has been sealed off. It is still too soon to tell weather or not a percautionary evacuation will be put into affect. The WBBA News Network. I'm Author Classon." Said the man in a british accent.
The screen then changed scenes to an American man sitting at a desk. "Thank you, Author. We'll get back to you shortly, provided, of course, if we can maintane satalight contact. We are continuing to recieve both national and international reports. We go now to videogripher, Steven Morton."
The scene then changed to a horrific scene where a number of car accidents could be seen on the streets.
"There's absolute chaos here. As you can see(Buzz)are flying over the state freeway trying to get a handle on how just much(Buzz)we're experiencing. And it's not just damage, Richard. There seems to be a tremendous amount of confusion. There's accidents litterally everywhere. Trucks and cars stuck. Certainly is hard to explain just what's going on." Said Steven.
The scene then changed back to the man known as Richard.
"This is the kind of thing we've been witnessing since just a few hours ago. In case you've just joined us, this is the WBBA's continuous global coverage of what can only be described as the greatest disaster, or possibly attack, in human history. It's uncertain what has brought about the catastrophic events were witnessing. There is still no explanation forth coming. It seems that all efforts around the globe are aimed at trying to control and stablize the situation. Here is what we do know: At 4:59, eastern time, millions of children, from ages 1 through 12, litterally vanished off the face of the Earth. Both from this country and around the world. We have not yet heard any officel comment or explanation, but an announcement is expected shortly by the president of the United States, who it is believed has been whisked from a campain stop in Dallas Texas to airforce 1. The UN secritary general is at the UN headquarters of New York and should also have a comment shortly. It's not yet known if this mass disappearance is an isolated incident or if ferther disappearances can be expected. We simply don't know what we're dealing with. Now some speculate that this is a new technology that has been harnessed as a result of nuclear research, while other sources suggest that this is our first close encounter with new forms of inteligents. Against which we may have no defense. As you know, we are live and we'll be bringing you more information as it becomes avalible. We are now able to go to our reporter, Julie James, in Atlanta." Richard turned to a screen on the wall with the blurry image of a red haired woman on it. "Can you hear me, Julie? Julie?"
"Yes, Richard. Things here are completely out of control. No one has been able to explain the disappearance of what seems to be all of the children of this city from ages 1 through 12. Terror is the only way to describe the scene. Terror and absolute panic. It's like a real life horror movie. People don't know who or what they're dealing with. It's an enemy you can't see. Biometric chaos and violence that seems to be breaking out spontainiously around the city. Many are experiencing a deep sense of loss and grief. I've been talking to many people today who are trying to deal with the fact that their children/grandchildre/sibblings/cousans/nieces and nephews are missing. Each person has their own tragic story to tell. 16 year old Johnothan Byers and his Mother, Joyce, are just one example of those who have lost someone they love." Julie turned to a 16 year old American boy and a woman, who appeared to be his mother. "Miss Byers, when did you and your oldest son first discover that your youngest son was missing?"
"(Crying) My youngest son, Will, called me from his friend's house. He said he'd be right home. He never got home. He wasn't there, he...he's gone. His friends are gone. And so are all of the rest of the kids in our family." Said Joyce. "Oh, cod, where did they go?"
"It's okay, Mom." Said Johnathen as he held onto his mother as the two of them walked away.
Julie turned back to the camera. "Richard, i wish i could say that this is just one incident. But it isn't. Every parent, it seems, has lost a child. I know i have. I know we will be telling you this a lot today, but this next scene is horrific."
The screen then changed from the woman to the streets where WBBA workers were getting out of their Jeeps and vans to help assist a man who was running around, screaming, while burnning.
Julie: "Out on one paticularlly hard hit area of the enterstate, this man saw his children disappear and litterally went insane. Police were there to control a mass bey battle, but everyone just stopped when this man litterally set himself on fire. It somehow captured the brutality they all felt. The brutality and terror we all feel."
The scene then changed back to Julie.
"For WBBA News, i'm Julie James. Now we'll go to videographer, Jaden Walker, who's been standing by in the down town area."
The scene then changed to an angry mob of people trying to break into a store.
Jaden: "Randomonium is the only way to describe the scene here. People have just basiclly gone crazy. They've run out onto the streets in a state of panic. The corner of Namen Broad, usually a quiet place is tipical, a city and world gone mad. This scene on cooper street is an example of thousands of small accidents. All the children from ages 1 through 12 have vanished, but as you can see, their cloths havent. All over the city the story is the same. Motor vehicles on fire, in accidents, and like this bus, abandond. When the children on board it disappeared."
WBBA
The scene changed back to Richard.
"We now have comfermation that the security reasons the president is on board airforce one. And he's due to..."
"Stand by, we've got a beep." Said the voice of a man in the background.
"We now have a radio transmission from the president." Said Richard.
The scene changed to a long airplane.
The President: "My fellow Americans and citizens of the world, we don't know what we are dealing with here at this time of trial, for our loving world comunity. One thing is certain: Whatever it is...it knows no orders. We shall have to face this together as passengers aboard spaceship Earth. As i speak these words, the Pentagone, Dingo, the Beyblade Rangers and the Joint WBBA UN forces are being mobelized. Aircrafts across the globe, for many nations are air born, and have asumed defensive positions. WBBA satalight dishes are covering every area of the sky, and sofisticated comunication systems are seeking any comunications that may be taking place. We have also launched two space shuttles to join the WBBA satalights, which is already in orbit. The WBBA satalights, which have been in orbit way before this entire disaster, report monitoring no unusual activity. I have spoken with the leaders of the Leading Nations. All of the children in their countries, unfortunantly, are missing. And due to the global nature of this crisis, we are conviced that this is not the result of a new weapon. Instead, we are facing something new. Something our WBBA system never prepared us for. Let us look within ourselves, draw upon our great human spirits, and come together in the oness of this challenge. As members of the human family. Finally, i must take this oppertunity to tell whoever or whatever is responsible for this act that we seek comunication and understanding. We are a piece loving people, who seek only to grow and learn. We boast no trip. We wager comunication."
The scene then went to static and changed to Richard.
"The situation certainly defies conventual explanation. Reporter, Mark Parsons has been collecting information from various sources and files this global report."
The scene then changed from Richard to a scene of panicing, screaming and crying people in different nations.
Mark: "With the several disappearances of all children from ages 1 through 12, the entire planet is experiencing confusion. Tears are flowing and tempers are flaring as people search for answers. Looting and rioting is rampet everywhere. The WBBA simply cannot deal with the magnetude of panic that exist. Highways are flooded with accidents caused by moving vehicles who's drivers have children that seem to have just disappeared. Seventeen people were killed on a mountain road in Venezuela after the driver of this bus died from a heartattack after all of the children on board simply ceased to exist. This 747 airplane crashed just after take off from Cyro when the Pilot and co-Pilot had massive heartattacks when all of the children on board suddenly vanished. Another plane was seen plummiting to the ground in England. No attempt was seen to stop the plane, and no bodies of children were found. Two airplanes collided over a runway as they crashed into each other after the Pilot suffered a severe stroke from witnessing all of the children on board disappear. Fear has launched the greatest moblization of military force that the world has ever seen. All over the world, skies are filled with fighter aircrafts, patrolling their perspective boarders. Military sources have reported that all nations are at their highest states of readiness. But against an undefined enemy."
The screen then went to static and then shut off by itself.
"So it's true. It really is everywhere." Said Lysandre.
"The whole planet from the looks of it." Said Flare.
"But i just don't get it. How can all of the children in the entire whole world be here one second and then gone the next. Please, somebody explane it to me." Said Minette.
"I wonder. Could this be what Lady Olympia saw in her vision about all of us getting caught within the vortex of this unknown threat?" Said Hayner.
"You know, i never really thought of that. But i believe it is possible. I mean this event is a world wide threat and we're all caught within the vortex of it." Said Olette.
"Makes sense to me." Said Pence.
"No." Said Olympia.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at Olympia.
"Lady Olympia, is this the same vision you spoke to us about when you said we would be caught in the crossfire?" Asked Gigi.
"Hardly. No doubt, this is definantly the greatest disaster the world has ever known. But what i saw was much worse, and much more horrific." Said Lady Olympia.
"What could be more worse and horrific than this?" Asked Amber.
"Oh yeah, that's right. I've wanted to ask you all this time. The danger you were seeing around the world. What exactly was it?" Asked Olette.
"Fire." Said Olympia.
"Huh?" Said the gang.
"An endless, huge ocean of flames. I saw it engulf the world of beyblade and consume all of the beys and bladers in that sea of fire. You will all play a very important role in the chaos and term oil. As well as the male villain who ordered those two girls to steal the sundile." Said Lady Olympia.
"You mean Voltaire?" Asked Cherleen.
"What role you play is up to you." Said Olympia. "Minette...i have arranged for you and your friends to fly out of Kalos in a helicopter. Be sure to take good care. The great fire threatens to engulf you all."
Minette turned to Hayner, Pence and Olette. "So are you guys ready to go?"
"Now, now, just a moment. Where exactly will this helicopter be taking us?" Asked Pence.
"It will take you to a remote island. There, you will find the the remaining ones who will also play a key role in the global disaster, as well as the one who you, Minette, met back home in Lanview before boarding the train here to Kalos." Said Olympia.
"You mean Galaxia?" Asked Minette.
"Correct. Now then...that is all the information i can give to you. Go forth, Minette and friends. Everyone is waiting." Said Olympia.
"Okay. Let's get going, you three." Said Minette to Hayner, Pence and Olette.
Gigi, Amber and Rex exchanged glances and nodded.
"Hey, Minette," Gigi began. "we're going to the island with you too."
"You are?" Said Minette.
"We want to help." Said Gigi.
Minette staired at them in suprise. "But this is my fight. You guys don't have to get involved."
"We know, but we also know that you're going to need all the help you can get. We aren't going to stand by while a friend's in danger." Said Amber.
"Right." Rex agreed, nodding.
"Thanks, that means a lot." Said Minette with a smile on her face.
"So when are we leaving?" Asked Rex.
"Right now." Said Lysandre. "Flare, please escort our friends up to the helicopter pad on the roof, will you?"
"Sure. Right this way." Said Flare.
"Wait." Said Gigi. "Before we go...can we stay and wait to hear what my Dad has to say about my Mom's condition?"
"Of couse, Gigi, sure." Said Minette.
(Scene fades)

Henry sat in the hospital room next to his wife's hospital bed, who was sound asleep, trying to take in everything the doctor had told him.
Cherleen slowly opened her eyes and saw Henry. "Hey."
Henry looked and saw that Cherleen was now awake. "Hey."
"Hey, baby." Said Cherleen. "Henry, i'm so sorry."
"Hey, hey, hey. You know it's not your fault. Come on, now." Said Henry.
"(Crying) But i wanted this baby." Said Cherleen. "More than anythhing, Henry."
"I know, i know." Said Henry. "Okay, don't worry about that right now. All you need to do is concentrate on getting better, okay?"
"(Crying) I know how much you wanted to be a father." Said Cherleen.
"I am a father. We have two great kids." Henry lied. He wasn't sure if he should break the news to his wife right away about all of the children vanishing, and how their son, Aiden, was one of them, as he didn't think she'd be able to handle losing another child. And he didn't want anything to hinder her recovery from the miscarrage.
"(Crying) I know, baby, but i meant..."
"Okay. I know what you mean, okay? And we've got time for that." Said Henry. "Why don't you just focus on getting some sleep?"
"Henry, i can't sleep." Said Cherleen. "Maybe we should just break the news to Gigi and Aiden. They wanted this too."
"...Okay. I'm gonna tell Gigi and Aiden, okay?" Said Henry.
"Okay." Said Cherleen.
"Okay. I'll be right back." Said Henry.
"Alright." Said Cherleen. "I love you."
"I love you too." Said Henry. He then got up from his chair and headed for the door.
"Henry." Said Cherleen.
"Yeah?" Asked Henry.
"Did you ever find out?" Asked Cherleen.
"Find out what?" Asked Henry.
"If our baby was a boy or a girl?" Asked Cherleen.
"I don't know." Said Henry. "It's probably best that we don't know."
"Yeah, you're right." Said Cherleen.
Henry then left out of the hospital room and closed the door behind him.
Cherleen then began to cry and sob, grieving over the loss of her unborn child.##################################################################################
Japan, Metal Bey City.
The entire nation of Japan was in complete panic. After the vanishings of all of the children, Metal Bey City, as well as the entire nation of Japan, was now a complete war zone.
~AT THE WBBA~
"My goodness, what's that?" Asked Hikaru who was standing on the roof top of the WBBA with Lady Venus, overlooking the chaotic Metal Bey City.
A Buzzard flew down to the roof of the building, carrying a black cloak in it's feet. It dropped the cloak on the floor right in front of the girls and then flew away.
"Haven't we seen this somewhere before?" Asked Hikaru as she and Venus staired at the cloak that was now in front of them.
"Yes, dear. I wonder who's it was?" Said Venus.
"(Gasp) Dark Pha..." Hikaru then caught herself and placed her hands over her mouth.
"No! We mustn't remember his name!" Said Venus before looking back at the cloak. "Oh dear."
"He was a menace to the world of beyblade." Said Hikaru. "Oh no! The memories are coming back! What do we do?! Oh! What do we do?!"
The black cloak then slowly began to take shape and rise up from the floor.
Venus and Hikaru gasped in horror as they witnessed what was happening.
"Perhaps we should tell the Director." Said Hikaru.
"Yes, that's what me must do. Hurry!" Said Venus before she ran back inside the entrance of the WBBA, exiting the roof and leaving Hikaru behind.
A horrified Hikaru continued to watch on in terror as the black cloak continued to take shape and formed into a mysterious figure.
"Dark Phantom!" Said Hikaru before she ran to the entrance of the WBBA and went inside to catch up with Venus.
The black cloak's forming was soon complete, as it had formed into a mysterious person, who was now wearing it...Dark Phantom.
Dark Phantom looked at his surroundings and saw that he was standing on the roof top of the WBBA. The figure turned around and looked at the chaotic city of Metal Bey City. "Hmhmhmhm, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AAAHAHAHAHAHA!"

~WITH VOLTAIRE~
At the old abandoned ruin building of the Dark Nebula, Voltaire walked out onto the roof top of the old Dark Nebula base. He had come here in search of Doji and Dark Phantom, in the hopes of joining up with them in his plan to take over the world, but so far, he hadn't found either of them.
"Dark Phantom?! Doji?!" Voltaire called out, but there was no answer. Not that that's suprising. After the Battle Bladers Tournament, the Dark Nebula Organization got waisted by Gingka and his friends and all of the Dark Nebula bladers quit and went their separate ways. "Maybe they really did finish them both off."
Outside the Dark Nebula base, a Buzzard flew over through the sky and headed towards the Dark Nebula base.
"Ooh, this headquarters surely isn't what i was expecting. No shine, no nothing." Said Voltaire.
The Buzzard continued to sore towards the building, heading strate for the roof top.
"Oh, now what's gonna happen to our plan?!" Said Voltaire.
The Buzzard then landed on the roof top behind Voltaire and let out a loud shreak, getting his attention.
Voltaire turned around and saw the Buzzard standing at the edge of the roof in front of him. "(Gasp)!"

Inside the dark observatory of the spaceship, DiZ was looking out the windows at the bright blue planet Earth.
Lady Shadow and three black coat hooded figures walked up behind DiZ. One of the figures was short. Like Kenta and Yu's height.
"You have arrived." Said DiZ.
"Have you seen what's been going on down there on Earth?" Asked Lady Shadow.
"The global vanishings of children of all ages. Ages 1 through 12. And not just the living...the dead as well. All of the deceased children in the entire whole world are gone. The new borns are all gone. Even the unborn are gone." Said DiZ. "The Earth...has lost it's innocence."
"I don't like this." Said the hooded male figure.
"The world has been sucked dry of all children. I hate to say this, but it feels like the Organization and the Heart Snachers." Said the female hooded figure.
"We have no choise. We must find and revive the remaining four Planetary Bladers." Said DiZ.
"Do we have to, DiZ? They seem so happy being normal girls." Said the short hooded female figure.
"I don't know. Perhaps we can stop this thing ourselves by locating the children and rescuing them." Said the male hooded figure.
"Not a chance. I've been seaching high and low with my space satalights all over space and not one of them has picked up any life form anywhere in the area. Whatever took the children from the Earth also took them from this universe as well." Said DiZ.
"Where exactly are you getting at?" Asked the male hooded figure.
"I'm saying...i can't get them back on Earth." DiZ admitted.
"What do you mean you can't get them back on Earth?" Asked the female hooded figure.
"The how and why all of the children vanished off the face of the Earth is still in question." Said DiZ. "The source of the disappearances from the planet, as well as the universe, would have catapulted the children across realities to anywhere in existence."
"Well, can't you or Lady Shadow go find them?" Asked the short female figure.
"There are billions of realities. They strech across infinity, and each contains a universe of it's own. The children could be in any one of these and to hand search each one would take quite literally forever. I hate to say it...but it looks like the mystery of the vanishings will forever remain just that: A Mystery." Said DiZ.
"So you're giving up? That's it?" Asked the female figure.
"You think if i had a solution i'd be here having this conversation with you?" DiZ asked. "No, i'd be out there bringing them home as we speak. Instead, it's going to take me months to locate the source that removed them from the Earth. A transit isn't suppose to be used, it generates tremendous amounts of energy and is far too unstable to control. To find a warp through all that mess is near impossible."
"So that's it? They're gone and we just learn to live with it?" Asked the short female figure.
"You have my word. I will try everything within my power to locate them." Said DiZ. "But even with my own resources, it will take some time to discover where they were taken. A transit warp if often quite random. But why this mystirious source did this i can't help but wonder. Why would it even do it? It is certainly skilled enough for even basic dimension travel, so it must have known it could control a transit."
"So what do we do until then?" Asked Lady Shadow.
"We have to do something. While this global disaster may have delaid the enemy's plans, they won't stop until they have revived the god of distruction and destroyed the entire world. There's only one thing to do. We must find and revive the remaining four Planetary Bladers." Said DiZ.
"Understood. We'll head back down to Earth Immediently." Said the male hooded figure. He and the other two hooded figure then vanished, leaving DiZ and Lady Shadow behind.
After a moment of silence, Lady Shadow began to leave out of the Observatory.
"I appreciate the help." Said DiZ, stopping Lady Shadow in her tracks.
"What?" Said Lady Shadow.
"The way you pitched in the way you did and helped me out with zero hesitation, despite what you know of my checkerd past. I am very greatful to you...Lady Shadow." Said DiZ.
"Don't get things twisted." Said Lady Shadow.
"What?" Said DiZ.
"I'm not doing this to help you...i'm doing this for someone else." Said Lady Shadow.
"I see. And just who is this 'someone else' you speak of?" Asked DiZ.
"That's my business." Said Lady Shadow before disappearing.
DiZ turned back to the window and looked at the bright blue planet Earth. "And so it begins. The end...is near."
Female voice: "In the aftermath of the children's disappearances."
Male voice: "In the blink of an eye, all of the children, under the age of 13, have simply vanished without a trace."
Female voice: "From the United States, Europe, Africa and as far away as all over the world. All under the exact same circumstances. Reports of the missing children continue to trickle in."
Male voice: "Reports keep coming from all over the globe, claiming it as true. To say that the world is in a state of shock right now would be to understate the situation. The event seems to have taken place at the same time all over the world just about three hours ago. Suddenly, and without warnning, literally all children from ages 1 through 12 just disappeared. A few eyewitness acounts of these disappearances have not been clear, but one thing is certainly sure. Millions of children, who were living on this Earth just a few hours ago, are not here now. Speculation is running high that some Alien force from outside our system has declaired war on our planet."
Male voice: "While the world morns, we're left with only one question...where are our children?"
