Chapter 9: Max and Tolaku's Power?
Author's Note: Hey guys! Yeah it's been a while, I apologize for that. Anyways, a lot of you said that you like the couple Ray/Crystal. That's really up to Nightswift. BUT!!!!! Nightswift if you don't review and tell me what you think of the coupling then I'm going to have to go along with what the reviewers want.
Phoenix: Hey reviewers, here's a little tip. If you review her story, she'll probably go crazy and run up and down the halls screaming like a freakin maniac and finally settle down and write more chapters quicker.
Crystal: *whimpers* I do not!!! YOU FREAKIN LIAR!!!!!
Phoenix: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! GOTTA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crystal: *glares at Phoenix then turn to everyone else and smirked* OH YEAH!!!!!! Oooooh Psycho-chik!!!!
Phoenix: GET DOWN!!!!! SHE'S GOING TO BLOW!!!!!!!!
Crystal: Kai is and always will be Julia's!!! *Hugs a plushy Kai* Always!!! But that's okay, I'm not mad! Cause you're my friend!!! ^___^ But I'll let you choose on who else you want Tolaku to be with. *smiles* ON TO THE CHAPTER!!!!!!!!
Crystal opened her eyes groggily and looked around. She had the strangest dream, but decided to get some breakfast first before worrying about it. She got up looked in the mirror; she ran her hand through her messy black.
'What's the use,' she said as she walked out of the room towards the kitchen. She turned the corner and WHAM!!!
"OWW!!!" She slammed into someone, and fell onto top of him. She looked up to see Ray.
"Sorry," she said as she wobbly got up, and started walking to the kitchen. Ray stared at her from the ground.
"Hey? You ok?"
Crystal glared at him, "I'm fine!!! I don't need your concern!" She walked off and into the kitchen. She put on her fake personality so that her friends won't ask if something is wrong.
"Crystal? Your finally up!!" Julia said jumping up and down, and slid a plate of food in front of her.
Crystal started devouring the food, "Thanks, I'm starving." Julia and Tolaku looked at each other. They knew something was up, but didn't have enough courage to tell Crystal.
"Hey do you guys beyblade?" Asked Tyson pointing to the girls.
"Me and Crystal do." Stated Tolaku simply.
Tyson smiled, "Then let's battle!!"
Tolaku shook her head, "You wouldn't last long against both of us."
Tyson's smile widened, "I hear that a lot but I have a few surprises up my sleeve."
"Whatever."
******
Tyson set a bowl in the middle of the room, while Tolaku was standing close by with her arms folded over her chest. Julia stood next to her.
"All set," Tyson announced as he took out his beyblade launcher with Dragoon in it. He looked at Tolaku who was also getting out her own blade. They got to the ready position. Julia counted down.
"Three……Two……One….."
"LET IT RIP!!!!" Tyson shouted as he pulled the cord. The two beyblades spun around trying to hit the other out of the bowl. Tyson was gritting his fists as he watched his beyblade crash into Tolaku's, but Tolaku was staring at her blade with a blank expression, like she was in a trance.
Julia looked at her best friend, 'Oh no! Not again!!'
Tolaku's eyes went to a shade of dark blue. Her mind wasn't in the battle that was going on.
~*~In Tolaku's mind~*~
She stared around, wondering where she was. She was in a dark forest and it was raining, after a while she slowly crept forward. Then she heard the sound of clashing metal. She sprinted towards it.
When she came out of the bushes she saw two men fighting each other. The younger of the two was maybe about four or five years older than her. (Author's Note: Making him about 18 or 19.) His silver hair had gotten all stringy because of the rain.
"Give up Damon!" Growled the older man.
"Never!!! I will not let you harm the children!!! Sutekh!!"
"So you're the guardian of those wretched children!!!" Damon shut his mouth and Sutekh continued, "Oh well I'll find them easily. I only have three left."
Damon growled with fury, but then laughed, "You will never get to them."
"Oh, why not?"
"Because I have hid them very well and they don't even know of their powers!"
"It doesn't matter!!! I'll find them!!!!" Damon laughed some more making Sutekh furious. He lunged at him, and tried to swipe him. He missed his neck by a little. But still hit his target. Blood trickled down Damon's forehead.
"Maybe next time you can try and kill me! But as long as I live, those children are safe!" And in a flash Damon had vanished.
Sutekh chuckled evilly, "We'll see."
~*~Back to Reality~*~
"TOLAKU!!!! YOU'RE BLADE!!!!" Tolaku finally snapped out of her trance just in time to see Dragoon advancing on her beyblade.
"TEKERO!!!!!" Tolaku shouted, as she shouted an artic wolf came howling out of her blade. Just in time to hit Dragoon. A split second later both blades went shooting out of the dish. Tolaku picked up her blade and pocketed it when Tyson came over.
"What happened? You completely zoned out." Tolaku just stared at him with a stern look. Then jerked her head in Julia's direction.
"Julia we need to talk." Julia knew that tone in her voice all too well. She shook her head nervously.
******
Ray walked down the wondering why Crystal snapped at him the way she did. But he came to a door slightly ajar and voices coming out of it. They seemed worried.
"Julia I had another vision!"
"Tolaku are you going to be okay?" Came the worried voice of her friend.
"Yeah I'm fine. I think I have identified the person who is after you."
"But that's Steve?"
"No there's someone else involved."
"Really?"
"Yeah." There was a long pause.
"Let's discuss over a soda."
"Okay let's bring Crystal so she doesn't feel left out." Ray quickly ran down the hallway. He didn't want them to find out that he had listened to their conversation.
******
"Come guys!!! Cheer up!!!" Crystal slapped her friends on the backs, but they just looked worried. When they looked up they're stomachs lurched. They saw Max, Kai, and Kenny walking towards them. Kai was in his regular out fit, but Max and Kenny were in a T-shirt and regular cargo pants.
"Hey guys!" Said Max cheerfully. Kai was focused on Julia and Tolaku's worried faces.
"MAX!! Thank God you're here!! Help me cheer these two up."
"Hmm what's wrong?"
"I don't know, it's like they didn't get enough sleep," Crystal said looking straight into Tolaku's eyes. Making Tolaku get frustrated.
"We would have gotten enough sleep if someone didn't wake us up 1:45 in the morning!!" Crystal kinda blushed in embarrassment. Just then Ray and Tyson making things get worse for Julia and Tolaku.
"Hey guys!! Great the whole gang is here!!!" Tyson said counting to see if anyone is missing. Just then Julia got a huge pain in her head. She started to rub her head to get rid of the pain. But it got worse and soon she started to fall into darkness. Kai saw Julia faint and caught her just in time.
"What happened!?!" Gasped Crystal as Kai lifted her off the ground.
"There's a bench over there," Kenny said pointing across the street. They ran across, not noticing that the street was now like a ghost town. Kai gently set Julia on the bench as everyone stared at her breathing heavily.
Ray put a hand to her forehead, "She's burning up!!!"
"What caused this?" Kenny asked.
"I did," came a chilling voice. That took all the heat out of the air. They turned around to see a middle-aged man standing in the street with a cloak on him.
"Who are you!?!" shouted Kai standing in front of everyone.
"Silly boy!" With the wave of his hand, Kai was thrown into a tree. Everyone stared at this man; all of them were scared half to death.
"What do you want?" squeaked Kenny.
The man raised his hand that had sharp nails, like a claw. He pointed straight at…"Julia."
"Never!!!" Shouted Kai who was struggling to get up.
"That's right!!" Shouted Tyson his courage now back. Just then there was a flash and everyone had to shield their eyes. When they opened them a cloaked man stood protectively in front of them.
"I should've known you'd come Damon!!!" snarled the man.
"It took you ten years but you've managed to find them," he took the coolest looking sword and in the other hand he took out another one identical to the other. Tolaku gasped when she saw him.
"It's you!!!" Damon turned his head to see Tolaku staring at him. It looked like he hadn't aged at all, but his eyes were red like Julia's and a scar was on his forehead and nose. (Author's Note: Kinda like Squall's in Final Fantasy 8.)
"She seems to know you," chuckled the man, "Let's find out if she's one of the three." He put a hand up and it seemed like a vortex came out of his hand. Just then Julia started to glow purple, Tolaku started to glow red, and…and Max started to glow green. All three of them were lifted into the air.
"Ah, what luck all three of them right in front of me," laughed the man, "Now to bring out there power!!!" With a twist of his hand a huge pain went through Max and Tolaku's body. Both of them yelled in pain. Tolaku clutched her shoulders.
"ARRGG!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!" shouted Max. Then there was a ripping sound, and huge wings with light green showing here and there grew onto Max's back ripping his shirt off. He floated in the air breathing heavily, looking to the left and right at his wings.
While Tolaku's sweatshirt was ripped apart, thankfully she had a spaghetti strap shirt underneath; whish exposed her back as she too grew wings. But not green they were red. Tolaku felt like she was slipping into unconsciousness. She heard a manic laugh and looked at the ground.
"THERE ALL HERE!!!! THEY'RE MINE NOW!!!"
Crystal ran forward, "I WON'T LET YOU HURT THEM ANYMORE!!!" She jumped up attempting to karate kick him but she was repelled by a mysterious force. She was thrown backwards; Ray jumped up and caught her, but fell to the ground with Crystal in his arms.
"Come after me all you wish, but I will always win!" Laughed the mad man.
"NEVER!!!" The man turned and Kai punched him in the face, giving him a bloody lip. The man wiped it off.
"Ha ha! You have a strong will, but not strong enough," the mad man used his mysterious force once again, sending Kai flying backwards.
"Me and my children have a lot of planning to do!" A great big flash and all four of them disappeared.
Damon lunged his swords in the ground, "Damn it!!"
