Chapter 21
"Thank god for Robert!" Tyson grinned.
"This is sooooo cool!" Daichi smiled, stuffing his face as he sat next to the mini-fridge.
Brooklyn rolled his eyes, but ignored the wild child as he sat down next to Garland. "How much longer Mystel?"
"Pilot says an hour." Mystel replied, walking back from the cockpit. "Still can't believe this thing has cloaking capabilities and able to land in uneven ground."
"Guess Robert is expanding his business to new technologies." Max grinned.
"I for one am very glad he had this in Cairo." Ray nodded.
"Aren't we all." Tyson smiled sadly.
The jet fell into a lull of silence, each thinking about the girls and guys trapped back in the Alley, under Boris and Voltaire's thumb.
A cell rang and Tyson pulled out his phone, hitting 'answer' on the touch pad. "Oliver?"
'Hey Tyson. Where are you guys now?' Oliver asked.
"In Sudan. Pilot says we are about an hour away." Tyson answered.
'Ok, just be careful when you guys get there. Rose told me a little bit, what I could get out of her. And you do not want to get caught and held there. You have a few medics with you right?'
Tyson nodded, then remembered Oliver couldn't see him. "Yea, Robert had them meet us on the jet, they're up front, expecting anything."
'Good. Cause they'll be hurting most likely. Just…..don't let your guards down. The Alley girls are dangerous as I'm sure you can imagine, as you know the girls and the Blitzkrieg Boys. But it's their home turf. Just be careful when you get there and let me know when your out and safe, ok?' Oliver asked, clearly worried.
"I will Oliver, you have my word." Tyson nodded.
'Good, like planned, come straight to my place. I have plenty of room for you all and the girls are going to want something familiar to come home to after being back there.'
"Agree. I'll keep in touch Oliver." Tyson agreed, hanging up.
"Oliver worrying?" Ray asked.
"Always." Tyson sighed. "He was just reiterating the fact that anyone we meet there is lethal and dangerous and that we are on their home turf so don't let our guard down."
"Never." Garland nodded.
Kai's eyes widened as he felt something mental pull at his brain. "D-Dranzer?"
"You feel her?" Tala asked. "How? I've been trying to get in contact with Wolborg since I woke up."
Rose huffed. "Thats cause Boris had a special cabinet here that severs our connection to our bit-beasts. Thats why I haven't even tried to contact Minnie. I knew it was useless. But if Kai can feel Dranzer, then something has changed." She closed her eyes, trying to feel for Dominique. But…..nothing. She couldn't sense anything, just like before. Dominique was still in that special coated cabinet. "But I still don't feel her."
"I got nothing from Esme either."
"Nor Falborg." Bryan sighed. "Why just Dranzer?"
Rose's eyes widened. "Because she isn't just a bit-beast. She's a Sacred Bit-Beast. She's connected to Dragoon, Draciel and Driger."
"Th-That means Max is close." Clair slowly smiled.
"Ty….." Aure groaned softly, trying to grab her consciousness with both hands and hold on.
"Ray…" Chanel whispered softly, a small smiled on her face.
Kai closed his eyes and reached for that mental connection.
Dranzer? He called out in his mind.
Master Kai. Dranzer cooed and a warmth enveloped him then.
Good to hear your voice Dranzer. Kai smiled, relaxing as his bit-beast comforted him.
Master Kai, Dragoon, Draciel and Driger are nearing. They aren't too far away now, thats how I can get past this barrier that surrounds us. We are stronger when we are around each other.
Good to hear. Aure's barely holding on, she's going to bleed out within the hour if she does't get proper treatment. Kai sighed.
They will be here soon, hold on Master Kai.
Kai broke the connection and came back to his body, blinking his eyes open.
"What did she say?" Rose asked, leaning against the bars separating their cells. She couldn't sit down, too much adrenaline running through her.
"The guys are close. Really close." Kai smiled.
"We're going home?" Chanel whispered.
"Soon Nelly." Noel smiled.
"Ready guys?" Tyson asked as the plane touched down a few miles from the Alley. The 7 guys got on the four wheelers in the cargo bay and revved the engines.
"Ready." The guys nodded. They shot out of the jet one by one, speeding up and down the dunes of sand, dragging a few extra four wheelers, going to where Kenny and Emily had guessed was one of the entrances was. They parked the vehicles a few yards from the door, hidden from immediate view of the door.
"Let's get to work guys. This has to be fast and clean if we are to get them out untouched." Ray said as they all took launching stances, facing the metal doorway.
"Lets get to it then." Brooklyn nodded.
"Let It Rip!"
Seven blades soared through the air, tearing through the door like it wasn't there.
"Eyes up guys. Don't like your guard down." Garland warned as they ran through the door.
"Ty on your left!" Daichi warned.
"Dragoon!" Tyson shouted, winds wiping through the hall as he knocked two Alley girls off their feet and shattered their blades on impact. Tyson was NOT messing around. He was going 200% right off the bat. This was no tournament. This was life or death and he was getting his friends out of here.
"Brook, up ahead, clear us a path!" Max shouted seeing five Alley girls running towards them.
"Everyone behind me!" Brooklyn shouted as his hand shot out in front of him, Zeus soaring across the floor. "Darkness Reign!" Zeus appeared in a smaller form, due to the tight hallway, but his power had doubled since the Justice Five Tournament.
The five girls were knocked out instantly, their blades deeply imbedded in the walls as the guys ran through.
"Anyone have any idea where they may be?" Mystel asked. "This place is huge and I really don't want to be here any longer then necessary."
"Lets try doors as we pass." Tyson offered. "We need to find their blades too. Actually….." He closed his eyes as he ran, a hand on Max's shoulder, allowing his best friend to guide him through the hallway.
Dragoon? Can you sense where Dranzer is, Buddy? He asked his partner.
Take the second hallway on your left and then 3rd hallway on your right. I sense Dranzer in the 1st room on the right. The dragon answered.
Tyson opened his eyes as they past the first hallway on the left. "Next turn on our left, 3rd hallway on right, then first door on right. Dragoon senses Dranzer there."
"Got it!" The group shouted.
"Garland on your left!" Ray warned.
Garland spun as a girl slammed herself into his side. He grunted and blocked the punch to his face as his blade went after hers. "Go! I got her!"
The guys nodded as they raced down the left handed hallway.
"Ray!" Brooklyn warned as he lunged, grabbing the chinese bladers' legs, causing Ray to face-plant. But it was better then getting hit with the Alley girl's bit-beast attack.
"Thanks Brook." Ray nodded as Tyson took care of the girl.
"Awwww looky here Brit. Seems as if the whores' friends are coming to get them."
"So sweet, right Lil?"
Max spun around to glare at two girls who seemed different. He recognized the feeling and glared. "You're two of the Dark Oblivion bladers, right?"
"Oooooo blondie got it right on the first try!" Lillian laughed, flipping her hair over her shoulder.
"Mystel and I got this. Go." Brooklyn ordered, glaring at the two girls, who had defeated Ming-Ming and Crusher.
"You sure?" Max asked, unsure.
"They're positive, lets go." Garland said, running down the hall, giving Brooklyn and Mystel a nod. They nodded to their captain as Zeus and Poseidon charged towards the two girls.
Tyson nodded and he, Garland, Ray, Max and Daichi ran down the hall, heading to the room the blades were being kept.
"Duck!" Tyson shouted out in warning and all five of them dropped to the ground as a water attack soared over their heads.
"Strata Dragoon!" Daichi shouted and the golden dragon roared as he crushed the opposing blade.
Ray leaped up and punched the girl in the gut as she tried to jump them. "Sorry about this." He apologized as he slammed the side of his hand on the back of her neck, letting her drop to the ground, unconscious.
"Over here!" Max called, waving them over as he popped his head out from the hallway they had been heading for. The guys headed over as Max opened the door and walked in.
"Ok, fan out, there are a lot of cabinets in here." Tyson said quickly as they all nodded and started looking.
"Got em!" Ray grinned as he opened a very thick cabinet door. As soon as the door was opened, all 11 blades glowed. "Lets head out." He said as he grabbed a few, the other guys coming to take some as well.
"Any idea where the cells could be?" Garland asked as they started to wander the halls again, opening doors and defending from Alley girls. They had yet to see anymore Dark Oblivion bladers nor Boris or Voltaire.
As his question floated into silence, Tyson squeaked as his hand started to burn. It was Dominique.
"Dominique?" Tyson questioned as she flashed in response to his question.
"Launch her." Brooklyn suggested as he and Mystel joined them, both panting and scrapped up, but alive and well.
"Ok…." Tyson trailed off. As he switched Dominique into his right hand, slamming her into his launcher. Once he launched her, she spun around in a circle and started heading down a hallway, one they hadn't ventured to yet.
"Follow her, she's taking us to Rose." Brooklyn jogged after the white and gold blade.
Rose gasped as suddenly she was overflowed with a sensation and it was very familiar. "Minnie!" As she looked at everyone else, she realized that they had reconnected with their bit-beasts too.
Lady Rose Dominique purred in her head.
Finally Minnie, can you guide them to us? You know this place better then the others. Rose smiled sadly.
Of course, I am only a few hallways away. The connection broke off and Rose stood up.
"Ladies and Gentlemen. They are officially in the house. Minnie is guiding them here as we speak. I suggest you step back from the front of your cells as Dominique is coming in hot very soon."
Tyson and the others chased Dominique down as she zipped back and forth down different hallways, leading them to their captured friends. She suddenly stopped at the end of the hall, in front of a steel door.
"Well, that looks like it hosts cells." Daichi chuckled.
Garland rolled his eyes. "Lets hit it hard boys."
"Darkness Reigns!"
"Spike Saw!"
"Aqua Shield!"
"Gleaming Lightning!"
"Ocean Trident Attack!"
"Thunder Slash!"
"Evolution Storm!"
The seven very powerful attacks smashed through the door with little problem and the guys followed their blades in.
"About damn time you guys." A voice snorted and Daichi rolled his eyes.
"Shut up Ian, we got here as fast as we could."
"And if everyone could close their eyes." Rose smirked as Dominique soared into the room. Everyone quickly covered their eyes as Rose threw out her hand. "Dominique! Light Arrow!"
Dominique glimmered as light arrows suddenly shot into the air from the spinning blade and sliced through the locks on each of the eleven cells.
"Thank god." Bryan growled as he threw open his door.
"Tyson, get over here and help me with Aure!" Clair shouted as she was suddenly by Aure's side.
Tyson and Max shot over to the pair of girls as Rose went over to Chanel.
"Ray, hang on." Kai said as he put a hand on Ray's shoulder, stopping him from going near Chanel as Spencer, Noel, Ian and Bryan grabbed their blades from Brooklyn and Garland.
"What?" Ray asked as he saw Rose slowly pull Chanel to her feet, whispering to her.
"You have to know something before you go near her." Kai sighed. "Boris….." He bit his lip, drawing blood. "Boris rapped her Ray. He had been during her childhood too." He whispered so soft that even Ray barely heard it.
Ray froze. "O-Oh my god. I-It makes so much sense now. Th-thats why she was so scared when I'd go to touch her."
"Just, take it slow. It's even fresher now." Kai warned and took his hand off his friend's shoulder as Rose walked over with Chanel.
"Oh my god A. What happened?" Tyson asked as he knelt next to the blond.
"Nothing Champ." Aure tried to grin, but it ended up a strained grimace. "Just Anna slicing through my leg with her bit-beast's power, you know, normal stuff."
Tyson rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say Aure."
"How much blood has she lost Clair?" Max asked as he grabbed Aure's wrist, checking her pulse.
"Too much Max. We need to get her out of here now. She's barely staying awake as it is." Clair started crying again.
"It's ok Clair." Max placed a kiss to her forehead, without thinking about it. "We're here now. We have medics too on the plane."
"So Robert did come through." Aure chuckled, fading fast. "Good…..ol…german…." Her eyes flew backwards into her head as she fully collapsed against the bars of the cell.
"AURE!" Clair screamed.
"Shit, we have to go now!" Tyson shouted. "Garland, Brook, Mystel, get that hallway clear!"
"On it!" The Justice Five bladers replied, leaving the cell block.
Tyson gathered Aure in his arms and stood up as Max wrapped an arm around Clair, following his best friend.
Rose glanced over her shoulder to see that Aure had finally passed out in Tyson's arms, succumbing to the blood-loss.
Noel made a bee-line to Chanel, zipping around Kai and Ray to do so. "Nelly!" She shouted, wrapping her best friend in a hug as Spencer stopped next to Ray and Kai.
"El." Chanel smiled, closing her eyes and burying her face in Noel's hair.
"Noel, get Chanel out of here." Rose ordered as Belle and Tala joined them. "Ty, Max, get A and Clair out of here too." She glanced at Ray staring at Chanel as if his world was falling apart and made a decision. "Ray, you go too. Spence? You up for crushing some dark bladers?" She smirked.
"Hell yea." Spencer smirked as he and Bryan bumped fists.
"Good, Ian, go with them to make sure Nelly and A get out of her as fast as possible." Rose nodded to the shortest russian.
"On it Rose. You can count on me." Ian nodded.
"All clear!" Mystel shouted as he walked in.
"Good. You and Daichi will join Ian and the others and get the hell out of here and A to a medic." Rose ordered as blades were passed to their owners.
"Lets go!" Mystel lead as the ten of them filed out of the cell block.
"Need us?" Garland asked as he and Brooklyn jogged in, having pasted the group.
"Only if you want to forever crush Boris." Rose smirked.
"Hell yea." Garland and Brooklyn grinned.
Rescue Time!
