Disclaimer: I do not own Metal Fight Beyblade or any of the OCs that were submitted. The journey chapter! Notice for CygnusCrown Night: Hurry and send in Neptune! You have one week, as of 2-15-14, to submit her or I will ask another author to replace her. I have used the rest of my patience. I'm not a patient person!

Enjoy the chapter, no matter how boring it may end up being!

Melanie and Kasumi entered Shadow's chamber. The massive dragon already had a large bone encrusted saddle mounted on the small of her neck. Kasumi and Melanie were already battle ready, their weapons strapped to their sides. Kasumi stared up at her lead General's large beast. Yeah, Sakura was full of mystery, and she knew about her pet hydra, Nightmare, but not about a dragon! Its awesome!

"Well, looks like you're gonna have fun," said a voice in the dark.

Melanie rolled her eyes. "Seriously? We kinda have to leave, Nightmare."

Wow, thought Kasumi, right on cue.

A humanoid walked out of the shadows. The person was a woman, with black shiny skin and milky golden eyes that are slitted. She has dark silky purple hair that is in four braids down her back, and messy bangs over her eyes. Small fangs poked through her upper lip, which is turned up in a cold sneer. Sher ears are long and devilishly pointed. She wore dark robes of green under a black cloak. She wore black leather boots, and fingerless gloves that showed off her wicked claws.

Kasumi's confused. "Wait, I thought that Nightmare is a hydra."

"She is...she can just transform into a humanoid of herself," responded Melanie.

"Oh...that makes sense."

Nighmare sighed. "You guys get to have all the fun! So does Shadow! Lucky. I don't get to do anything anymore. Why, back in my day, a thousand years ago, I was the only evil creature around here," there was a hiss, and a gorgon slithered by with polish for Shadow's scales. Nightmare's sneer grew only to a disgusting frown. "Well, they were here too. And some Cyclopes, giants, why, I even met Typhon once, but that was just so Sakura could sing him a lullaby. He was making a volcano explode, and Sakura needed to calm him down before he destroyed the world. But I was the one always taken out to play."

"On second thought,"suddenly said Iron, gliding down from nowhere, "Sakura said that while Kasumi and Melanie do what they're doing, I am to travel to Japan and look for these special scrolls that may change the tide of this stupid war. So, Nightmare, let's get you saddled."

Nightmare's gold eyes widened in excitement. "A quest? FINALLY! I knew Sakura would acknowledge my existence eventually."

"No, just because Shadow's already being used."

Nightmare sweatdropped in anger. "I see. Well then, see you two when Iron and I finish business."

Iron whispered to her fellow Generals, "I would rather take a hellhound. This one's a drag."

The other Generals snickered in amusement. "I heard that!" came Nightmare's voice from the dark. The three girls still laughed a little before Kasumi and Melanie finally mounted on Shadow's back. A hundred miles above the two, the earth moved aside to reveal an open dark sky. Shadow pumped her wings, and slowly lifted her massive bodice from the ground. The dragon gained speed in the liftoff and rose toward the gaping hole in the earth. They entered the clear night sky, and the earth closed below them, and Shadow flew off to the ice nymphs' home.

They are heading to Norway.

Bry lay in her canvas tent, flexing and moving her fingers. She focused only on her hand, and the skin bubbled, taking on the scaly dark blue texture of a dragon's hide. She picked up a knife, and sliced at the skin. The sharp blade didn't even scratch the scales. Bry smirked to herself, and then frowned. Its so strange to be alive again. She always wondered what it was like to be dead. Meh, she wondered what it was like to be claimed by death. Of course, it ended up being painful, but for a just cause.

She focused on her black human-like nails, the bone extending and sharpening to five inch nails. Wow. New record. Bry is slowly beginning to explore her new-found powers. She always knew that she was half dragon, but she never imagined that she could actually transform all of herself, and some of her regular features, into dragon features.

Miyako was proud of her. She definitely knew that. She has passed judgement under God and is now alive again. But she can't die again. She knew it was just a one time thing. Next time she dies, she stays in Heaven forever. She will never be allowed to come back down.

She has heard that Miyako had finally found her true form. From what she's seen, Demons do too. She chuckled to herself. Now that's an understatement. Jeez, if more demons discovered their true forms, then all of Angeldom is doomed. At least they have the Generals of Heaven and Miyako. Hope Song said herself that Miyako is the first in over two hundred years to discover her true form.

Pfft. Bry has only found her dragon transformation. She hasn't found her true form. She'll be the next. She has promised herself this. She transformed her hand back into that of human flesh. Suddenly, Frieda burdt through her tent flaps, eyes wild and wide.

"Dude! Get up! We have a mission!"

Bry waved her arms in surprise and fell off her cot, spewing fire from her mouth and burning the right side of the canvas tent. The dragon hybrid got herself under control and looked at the other angel angrily. "DUDE! What the hell is wrong with you! I COULD'VE BEEN ASS NAKED!"

Frieda was laughing so hard, she barely managed to mutter, "No cursing". Bry grumbled to herself as she stood up. "Okay, what do you want?"

"Ag-g-gain, m-mission. Ha ha!"

"Alright, cheeky cherry, let's go," said Bry as she grabbed Frieda's cherry red hair and tugged her along. Frieda floated up, out of the other angel's grasp and flew to the command tent. Bry grumbled as she pumped her wings and lifted into the air. She flew after Frieda and landed outside the tent, where she, Ninel, and Miyako were outside of.

A boy angel let them in, and they knelt in the usual spot in front of the Generals of heaven. They seem to be there a lot nowadays. Hope frowned. "I have bad news, Angels. Scouts say that they spot a dragon, carrying two of the Generals of the Underworld north. They are tracking the beast as we speak, giving us further Intel. It appears that they are heading toward...where, again?"

"Norway," responded Kyoya.

"There was also a report that Iron, the Steel Dragon, is flying north west to Japan reasons yet unknown," said Dunamis.

Ninel was pale, and Bry didn't know why. She put a hand on the ice nymph hybrid's shoulder. Hope looked at the girl questioningly. "What is it, Ninel?"

"Y-You said Norway, right?" The General nodded. Ninel's eyes widened in terror. "AH! My home-home is there!"

"'Home-home'?" snickered Kyoya. The light bulb went off in Alex's head as Hope swatted Kyoya with a heavy textbook.

"Isn't that the natural home of the ice nymph?"

Ninel nodded sadly. "My home is in danger. We have to go and save it! If the Demons destroy my home, then I grow weaker. I could grow so weak, its possible that I could die. I don't want to die!"

"You really don't," agreed Bry. "Take it from the chick who got stabbed in the stomach and had to go through everything. It sucks the first few days. You're constantly judged, and I was lucky I was lead to the Fields of Elysium, where I was allowed to take the stair case to Heaven because I am an Angel."

"I don't need all the details. Yeesh," said Ninel.

"Well, we can't afford to lose you, Ninel Velasquez," said Kyoya.

"You will go and defend your home, while I send Geno, Gingka, and a new recruit, Sierra Crystals, to chase Iron Ash and see what the Demon is up to. Good luck! Farewell," said Dunamis.

The angels nodded and left.

"I really don't see the point of doing this," said Geno as she rode a milky chocolate colored pegasus at a safe distance from Iron and Nighmare, whom Kasumi enchanted to sprout wings for the journey.

"Neither do I. we're not aloud to attack unless we really have to. That, I don't mind, but this is getting boring, and I'm hungry. Oh, thanks, Sierra."

"No problem. good thing I packed a lot of snacks!" said Sierra, who rides a steel blue pegasus. Sierra has milky white skin and ocean blue eyes that are sparkling. Her hair is brown with yellow streaks at the bottom and reaches her waist. She has a slim figure, clad in black tight jeans with a dark blue tee and brown combat boots. She seems really excited to be on her first real quest.

"She's diving. And we're above Mount Tsurugi, Japan. Why is she here?"

"Let us find out."

They dived down after the hydra and her rider. When Nightmare was 200 feet from the surface of the mountain, she leaped from the hydra's back and spread her metal wings. She stopped in midair, and dove down until she lightly landed on a snow-covered peak. Nightmare transformed into her humanoid self clad in dark purple and black battle armor, and a black blade strapped to her side. The three angels above slowed their decent and softly landed behind a snow hill. They climbed off their pagasi and shooed the winged horses away. They peered over the hill, the wind whipping their hair and washing away their scents from Iron's malignant nose.

Nightmare and her partner hiked down a snow-worn brick path. Geno's brow furrowed in confusion. There's a path? She looked at the snow hill they were hiding behind and started to brush the snow off. She shivered. Thank God Sierra brought gloves. Gingka and the water nymph hybrid looked at Geno questioningly. Geno sniffed as she dug, and her hand touched something solid. She sniffed. Smells like something died here.

"Trust me. Something's here," she said to her friends over the howl of the wind. Gingka shrugged and helped Geno dig while sierra looked through the contents of a basket she was carrying, and revealed a thermos full of hot chocolate. She sipped some and offered the drink to Geno and Gingka as they worked.

They accepted the drink, and continued to dig. Geno brushed snow off an object. She stifled a scream. There, a skeleton lay in the ice on the roof of a shack, angel wings sprouting from the shoulder blades.

"Oh, my," said Sierra.

Gingka studied the surrounding, seeing much more lumps of snow and broken tents. "This was once an Angel camp."

Sierra dug a tunnel under the mound. "There's more under it. A rock. There's something inscribed on it."

"How would you know?" asked Geno.

Sierra looked at her friend with a raised eyebrow. "Water nymph. Ice. Frozen water. DUH."

"Oh, right. Sorry."

"What is it, Sierra?" asked Gingka. Sierra dug more until she found the stone.

"Well, turns out, its a casing. Lucky us, there's a message."

"What does it say?" asked Geno.

"It says, 'Beware. Guard the objects with your life. These are too valuable. They hold the future of Heaven and all Angeldom. Hope Song, General of Heaven, 400 A.D.' Holy crap! Jesus, she's old!"

"Yeah. She is. Been General since the battle to decide who got Hell, and who got Heaven. Well, what are the 'objects'?" asked Gingka.

"Well, if they really hold the fate of the future, and Sakura's after them, then we best get going and stop her," concluded Geno. The three carefully raced after Iron and Nightmare, Sierra pointing out where to be quiet, due to avalanche zones, where the steps were slippery, and when to stop and wait. They eventually caught up with Iron and Nightmare. They walked down the stone steps for what seemed like eons. Finally, they approached a small cave in the side of the mountain, a sign that says BEWARE. UNSTABLE. next to it.

Iron and Nightmare walked inside.

"Oh, great. More walking," complained Sierra.

"Hey, you're young! Be happy you at least don't get massive knee pains all the time," retorted Gingka. "I'm old. How can Hope still even move?!"

"Shut up!" said Geno. "They'll catch us. Now stop being stupid and follow me."

"Who made you leader?" asked Sierra.

"Dunamis did."

"Oh. There we go now, Sierra. Come on."

"Coming, Gingka!"

The three sauntered through the cave, shivering from the immense cold. Well, actually, Sierra was totally fine, walking as if the cold only tickled her. The angels finally caught up with Iron and Nightmare again. They had stopped in front of a set of marble white doors. Iron held out her hand, and a beam of metal shot from the ground and broke down the doors. Iron laughed softly to herself as she smeared mud on a picture of God. Nightmare glared at her General.

"Must I remind you, we need to hurry with this. While the Angels are distracted with our other forces headed to Norway and Spain to wipe out the stupid ice nymph's home, we need to hurry before we are noticed."

"Just a little favor for Sakura."

"Humph."

The three angels wanted to MURDER that iron demon so much, they were willing to go as far as Chinese water torture. How dare she do that to God's face! The demon and monster walked into the small cave behind the doors. The angels silently followed. They froze in their tracks, for there, standing before them, was a massive library. Books from all time periods littered thousands upon thousands of shelves. Every copy of every book in the world was collected here. It was constantly expanding all on its own and adding more bookshelves. Books appeared out of thin air, little plastic boxes with glowing screens would even appear with a book cover lit up on the screen. Paperback books, hard cover books, scrolls, slabs of rock, every piece of writing from everywhere was collected here, in this gilded hall of gold and silver and diamond.

"Welcome, Nightmare, to the library of God! The largest collection of books from every time period everywhere! Oh, if we were to safeguard this, we'd know every little thing we would need to know about ever!"

"Now we must find the Scrolls of Destiny. They will allow us to re-write everything from past, present, and future!" The monster cackled evilly. Iron picked up a heavy college history textbook and whacked the hydra with it.

"That's not what they're used for! They hold prophecies of everything!"

"So you can't re-write history?"

"Is the title Scrolls of History?"

"No."

"Then you don't re-write history with them! The Oracle of Delphi wrote all of the scrolls herself with the help of Japanese soothsayers. If we get our hands on the scrolls for Sakura, then we basically know the future without spoiling everything too early. Now, help me find them!"

Sierra quietly unsheathed her sword and was about to charge when Geno and Gingka held her back. "No, we wait."

"But we fight if we need to!"

"Yes, but when its essential. Let's wait this out and see what they find before we do anything. That will decide if we should attack or not. We don't even know if they'll find it."

"Found it!" called Nightmare.

Geno sweatdropped. "Oh, well then. That's just not fair."

"Read it! Find the prophecy of this date!" said Iron, bouncing in excitement. Nightmare flipped through the scrolls and stopped.

"Found it."

"What does it say? I can't read Japanese konji."

"It says,

Good and Evil will once again fight,

They, the Lord and Lucifer will exchange clashes in the night.

Three Angels and three Demons bound,

Their hostile combat will rock the ground.

On the ashes, a new Empire will rise,

The children of Darkness will win a new prize.

The creatures of light, so lovely and pure,

Will become legend and fight to lure,

Beasts of light, some last hopes.

One side will rise and conquer,

But a child will destroy thy father."

The two looked at each other. "God will win, but an Angel will destroy him. Sounds good to me," said Iron evilly.

"Now," said Geno.

Sierra rubbed her hands together and said, "Vapor Vision."

Mist curled from her hands and entered the library. Sierra nodded to her comrades. Gingka unsheathed his large buster sword and Geno unclasped hr golden staff from her back.

"Ugh! I can't see. Where'd this fog come from?" complained Nightmare. "Fog's not good for hydra skin or scales."

"Stop complaining! Apparently, we're not alone. Get the scrolls."

"They...they're gone!"

"What?! Oaf!"

Sierra stopped her mist making and ran after Gingka and Geno as they bolted out of the library so fast, they could probably make a sonic boom. Sierra stood outside the tunnel and focused on the snow clumped on the top of the entrance. She made a tugging motion, and the snow collapsed over the tunnel entrance. She hurried after her friends, magically clearing the steps of any snow or debris. Geno whistled, the pegasi swooping down and allowing their riders to climb onto their backs. They spurred the creatures, and flew off as fast as they could through the wind and the cold. Sierra flew in front, holding her hand out, parting the wind and the snow.

"We have to hurry befo-"

"THERE YOU ARE! NOW GIVE ME BACK MY SCROLLS!" screamed Iron, riding a monstrous five-headed hydra. The angels screamed and plowed their pegasi faster. Iron smirked as she held out her hand. "Sayōnara, suckers! Chain of Torture!"

Chains erupted from under the armor that clad her arm and snaked down her long slender fingers, lashing at one target. The lethal metal chains wrapped themselves around Geno and her pegasus, squeezing her until she screamed.

"Geno!" cried the two other angels. Iron laughed wickedly and the chains pulled Geno and the scrolls back as Nightmare opened her mouth, breathing a black substance that took the form of a portal. Gingka and Sierra's eyes widened in horror realization. The portal engulfed Nightmare and Iron, including Geno and the scrolls.
