Blitzkreig50889: hey everyone I'm back!

Flaming Hearts: Finally! We were beginning to think you'd forgotten about us.

Blitzkrieg Boys: yeah!

Blitzkreig50889: sorry guys. Bad case of writers block and too much review waiting, which I'm just going to ignore the rate the reviews come in so chapters get up sooner.

Majestics: thank god!

Blitzkeig50889: I didn't ask for your opinion. Besides, you shouldn't have to pester me. You got what you wanted from me already.

Majestics: (grin)

Kai: could you blame them though? You were ignoring them.

Blitzkreig50889: for that comment you get to do the disclaimer Kai.

Kai: what?!

Johnny: you heard her so just get to the point already before she makes both of us mimic Inuyasha again (Blitzkrieg50889: which if you're wondering what they're talking about just read my new fic, Blading on the Streets and you'll know what I mean).

Kai: point taken. Blitzkreig50889 does not own beyblade or any of its characters. She just owns the plot to this story and her OCS, the Flaming Hearts and their bit beasts.

Blitzkreig50889: wow that was fast. Anyway, here's the next chapter for you. Sorry if the last one was confusing or anything. Hopefully this one will be better. Now on to the chapter!

Chapter 8—Enter Diamondistic and The Majestics Secret

(Inside the building…Ashley's P.O.V.)

I was running like a maniac through Boris's lovely defense mechanisms. I had to run through far too many beyblades (all of which were on fire) and on top of that battle the hundreds of guards that kept appearing in front of me. Ok, maybe there weren't hundreds, but there were still far too many of them for comfort.

"Hey Jasmine, does Camouflage know which way we're supposed to be going?" I yelled while ducking a well aimed flaming beyblade.

"Yeah, she does. Why?"

"Because we're getting clobbered back here." I was referring to myself, Sierra, and Rysa. Rysa wasn't doing very well since there were so many beyblades and she didn't happen to have a bit beast yet. Sierra was just flat out exhausted from helping the rest of us get through the earlier assaults. As for me, I was just exhausted from trying to dodge my targets, which for some odd reason seemed to be aimed at my head.

"C'mon Camouflage, which way is it already?" I heard Jasmine yell to the dragon. Camouflage seemed to be bothered by something but she wasn't really telling us what was going on. To be honest, she actually looked confused.

"This way," Camouflage instructed after about five minutes of trying to figure out which way to go.

"About time," I grumbled before grabbing a hold of Sierra and Rysa and almost dragging them down the hallway with me. Gilasapata was behind me doing her best to hold the enemy at bay, which in this case was the newly arrived guards.

"You'd think Boris would come up with a better way to handle this mess other than trying to kill everyone," my bit beast grumbled with annoyance. "But no, he has to try and destroy everything and everyone in sight before he's happy with anything."

I would've laughed had I not been busy trying to keep all the limbs on my body. Boris's next security device happened to be limb severing lasers, so we were pretty much being forced to run in order to stay alive.

"Camouflage, which way now?" I heard Jasmine query. I guess we ended up at another crossroad but I couldn't really tell since I was quite a ways behind Jasmine, Camouflage, and Savannah from trying not to leave Sierra and Rysa behind.

I think Camouflage answered Jasmine, but I'm not really sure. At that exact moment there was a loud explosion and Sierra, Rysa, and I were sent flying into the nearby wall.

(Normal P.O.V.)

Ashley, Sierra, and Rysa went flying into a wall as the roof exploded. Cily and the other bit beast they had been looking for entered through the roof and looked around.

"Hmm…I could've sworn they were here," Cily murmured to herself while looking around. Then she chuckled as she realized she had used too much power to get into the building.

"I take it these girls are who we are looking for?" the other bit beast asked quietly. She looked almost exactly like Camouflage, except she wasn't rainbow colored but instead a crystalline blue-white color much like the color of a diamond. Her eyes were a brilliant emerald shade with gold and amethyst flecks running through them.

"Yeah these girls are-" Cily started but was interrupted by Jasmine.

"Cily!"

Cily turned her head and was nearly hugged to death by the young Egyptian beyblader. "I'm glad to see you too, Jaz," she managed. "However I can't breathe!"

"Oops, sorry!"

"Cily, what's going on?" the dragon bit beast behind her queried.

"Ah, Diamondistic, this is Jasmine. She's my other half if you know what I mean. Your other half is here too."

"And where would she be?" Diamondistic merely sounded curious now.

Jasmine instead of Cily answered her. "Rysa's over there. I think you and Cily knocked her out when you broke through the roof."

"Ah," was all Diamondistic said before going over to Rysa and gently nudging her. Rysa stirred, opened her eyes and blinked several times before she became aware of her surroundings. Once she did, her eyes went wide with shock.

"Rysa, stay calm. That's Diamondistic, your bit beast," Savannah instructed softly.

"Diamondistic? My bit beast?" Rysa managed to say. It was obvious she was shocked, however, she didn't have much time to dwell on things as voices could be heard coming the girls' way.

"Shit!" Cily snarled. "How did they catch up so fast?"

"I take it you know those guards," Camouflage murmured.

Cily and Diamondistic nodded before reaching down and picking up both their bladers with their teeth gently and placing them on their backs.

"Gilasapata, Gemstone, pick up Ashley and Sierra and let's get out of here. I'm not dealing with any more guards than I have to," Cily grumbled.

Gilasapata and Gemstone nodded before doing as they'd been instructed. If Cily was angry already, it would not do either of them any good to make her any angrier than she already was.

(Outside…Normal P.O.V.)

Oliver let out a groan as he was tossed back outside by one of the guards guarding the building he was trying to enter with the Blitzkrieg Boys, Tyson, Daichi, Max, and his own teammates. Kai was outside already, as was Ian, Tala, Bryan, Spencer, Tyson, Daichi, Max, Robert, Enrique, and about everyone else who had tried to enter the building. All except for Johnny.

Tala could be seen doing a head count and looking rather worried. "Kai, Bryan, Ian, where's Johnny?"

"Well," Ian started, but Bryan and Kai cut him off.

"He managed to get through," Kai growled with disdain.

Oliver blinked. If Johnny was inside then maybe… "Hey guys I've got an idea!" the French beyblader cried suddenly. This caused Tala to jump into the air out of shock and earned him several smacks in the head from his teammates.

"Oliver, are you fuc-" Tala started but Oliver cut him off.

"Hear me out before you yell at me. If Johnny's in, then the rest of us should be able to get in too."

"And how would that be possible?" This came from a rather irate Bryan.

"Simple. Johnny's a spy in case you've forgotten. The rest of the Majestics each have abilities much like Johnny's but for different purposes. For example, and Kai you ought to know this, Enrique can manage to disable any form of security device and infiltrate any building as long as it has a good ventilation system. If each of us uses an ability that is unique to ourselves, then it should be a piece of cake to get in."

Oliver watched as Tala took into consideration what he'd just said. After a moment Tala nodded.

"I get it. So what do you and Robert have as special abilities?"

Oliver smiled. "Robert can manipulate animals so they don't attack us and I usually play decoy to keep my teammates from getting hit by any form of weaponry. If Cass was here, she'd be able to disable any form of weapon with ease."

Oliver looked over at Bryan when he said that last part and noticed the blader seemed rather impressed by what he was hearing, but not particularly worried now about getting in.

"Ok, so say we follow this idea of yours and get inside. What do we do once we get in?" Kai asked. At that point Enrique jumped in.

"I'll dismantle any security devices and Robert should be able to get the mice to attack the guards for us. That'll give a free ride straight in and hopefully will remove any problems for us."

Tala looked impressed. "I'm surprised at you two. I didn't think you could do something like this."

Oliver and Enrique both made a face at that comment. "Maybe you shouldn't underestimate anyone until you've had a chance to get to know them," Oliver advised. "We may act idiotic at times, but believe me when I say we're not stupid and can do far more than you think we can."

"I'll keep that in mind. Ok, everyone, let's do this," Tala snapped, while taking charge of things again.

"'Bout time," Bryan grumbled.

"Bry, you take Kai, Ian, Oliver, Daichi, and Spencer and head to the top of the building. You're pretty much going to mimic Oliver's decoy ability and make a way for the rest of us to enter the building. Robert, Enrique, Tyson, and Max, you head in and dismantle the security equipment and remove the inside guards."

"And what are you going to be doing Tala?" Max asked softly.

"I'm calling in some back up. There's no way we'll be able to do this alone."

The others nodded before darting off to do as told. Tala reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone and dialed the number of a certain White Tiger X member.

(White Tiger Hills…Ray's P.O.V.)

I nearly jumped out of my mind and fell of the pole I was standing on when I heard a phone ring. Once I calmed down I realized it was my cell phone. Jumping down of the pole I landed in the water below me and walked over to my belonging that were sitting on the ground waiting for me and picked up the phone. Oddly, I noticed Tala was calling me. Surprised, I answered it.

"Hello?"

"Ray?"

"This is him."

"Good. No one's near you are they?"

"No why?"

"Because this conversation has to stay private. I'm about to tell you something that I don't want the other White Tigers to know about ok?"

"Ok," I said in confusion. Tala wasn't making any sense. What could he possibly want to tell me that the others couldn't hear.

"Listen closely Ray. I need you to get on a plane A.S.A.P and go to Russia. Then I need you to call me back when you get here so I can have one of the Majestics bit beasts show you where I am. Whatever you do though, don't bring the White Tigers with you. I don't want any of them to get hurt."

I blinked. "Tala, what's going on? You're not making any sense. Why do you want me to come to Russia?"

Tala didn't answer me right away. However, when he did I was shocked. "We're trying to rescue the Flaming Hearts but there's far more guards than there is us rescuers. I don't think we can manage to get them out without more help."

I took several deep breaths to calm myself down. "Ok, Tala, I'll get there as soon as I can."

"Thanks, Ray, I appreciate it."

"Yeah," I murmured as Tala ended the conversation without saying good bye.

"Ray? Are you ok?"

I jerked upright. Mariah. I couldn't tell her about this or she'd insist on going with me.

"Ray?"

"It's nothing Mariah."

"Ha! I know who that was. I heard the whole conversation. So when are you planning on going?"

I blinked. Leave it up to Mariah to read between the lines. How was I going to explain things to Tala when Mariah showed up with me in Russia because she was too stubborn to stay behind when told to?

(Back in Russia with Flaming Hearts…Normal P.O.V. still)

Ashley, Sierra, Jasmine, Savannah, and Rysa stopped and placed a hand on the wall next to them. They'd been running almost nonstop for about ten minutes now and they were extremely exhausted.

"This way men. Those girls can't escape us now!"

The girls groaned. "They're still behind us?" Rysa complained. "Don't they ever stop to catch their breath?"

"Apparently not," Sierra grumbled. "I certainly wish they would though!" Several nods of assent said the others agreed with her.

"Hey, didn't we tell you guys to get out of here earlier?" a rather annoyed voice queried. The girls whipped around and let out a delighted yell.

"AMPHYLYON, SALAMOLYON, UNICOLYON, AND GRIFFOLYON!"

"Ah! There's no reason for you to yell!" Amphylyon yelled back at them. "We're not deaf! Well, at least the others aren't deaf."

The girls laughed at that remark. "You're not completely deaf either. We were just excited to see you guys," Sierra explained. "We've been so busy running from these guards and trying to fight them at the same time we're exhausted!"

"Figures," Salamolyon grumbled. "Amphylyon and I leave you for about twenty minutes and you're in trouble already. What's next?"

Again the girls laughed. "No clue," Ashley answered this time. "But do you mind helping us out."

"Only if you can wait about two hours. We're tired too you know," Unicolyon answered. It was easy to tell he was tired as it showed in his voice.

"Two hours!" Rysa yelled. "I thought we'd be able to get out of here long before then."

Griffolyon shrugged. "Complications arose so now we've got to wait for backup."

"Great," the girls mumbled sarcastically.

Amphylyon was about to say something to them when he got cut off by a sudden loud eruption of noise. "What the hell?"

"Sorry Amphylyon, but could you move so I don't land on your tail?"

"JOHNNY!"

"Ah! Easy on the ears!" The Scot cried after landing on the ground and rubbing his ears a little bit. Salamolyon darted over to the Scot and nearly knocked him over. "Hey, easy Salamolyon! I missed you too but that's no reason for you to knock me over."

"Sorry."

Johnny managed to untangle himself from his bit beast and looked over at the girls and their bit beasts. He shook his head at the sight of Camouflage and Diamondistic. "Great, more water using bit beasts. Oh well. At least they look like they're willing to do what is necessary to get themselves out of here."

Both Diamondistic and Camouflage nodded. Johnny didn't have time to say anything else to them though as the guards that had been following the girls completely caught up with them.

"Oh shit," Jasmine gasped out. "We should've kept moving."

Johnny however, just smiled. "Don't worry about them. I got them. I've been bored anyway so I might as well kick some very smell asses around right?"

Salamolyon rammed his head off a wall at that comment. "Once a fighter, always a fighter despite how unnecessary it might be."

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that."

The girls just shook their heads. They had two hours in which they would have to help Johnny beat the hell out of the guards…or so they though until the guards began to scramble away in fear at the sight of a few mice.

"This ought to be interesting," Johnny murmured before darting towards the guards and engaging in battle with them.

"Here we go again," Salamolyon murmured causing Amphylyon and the girls to laugh. "Oh well, if you can't beat them, might as well join them," and with that he darted into the fray.

"Anyone got a watch?" Rysa queried.

"Yeah, why?" Sierra answered.

"Start counting down the time until we get out of here for me."

Sierra smiled. "Sure thing Rysa." With that said, she looked at her watch and began the countdown.

Blitzkreig50889: so what do you think? Was this easier to follow?

Flaming Hearts: sounded good to us.

Majestics: us too.

Blitzkreig50889: ok then. Well hope you liked the chapter and so you don't have to really listen to me, Kai, Johnny, would you do the closing for me?

Kai and Johnny: (roll eyes) Fine.

Johnny: blitzkreig50889 hopes you liked the chapter

Kai: and she also hopes that you'll review and she'll try to remember to update as soon as she can.

Blitzkreig50889: thank you boys. See you all next time!
