Chapter 13: Draciel Vs. Shimmer

Author's Note: Nightswift PWWEEEAAAASSSSEEE don't be mad at me!! I'll fix everything don't worry. I'm sorry. If you want to know Max's costume during this fight I drew a little picture for you guys. I like this one better than the one I did of Tolaku.

Max stood patiently in front of them all. His clothes had changed his chest was bare, but had opened navy blue jacket with the sleeves ripped off. Over his shoulders were iron shoulder pads. On each side of his grey pants were daggers. And on his feet were big, dark blue boots. Everyone didn't budge, well except for one person.

"I need to get my winning streak back," Crystal said stepping forward taking out her sword.

"I've heard about your sword of yours, but you don't have the strength to"

"ENOUGH!!! I'm getting tired of hearing that!!!"

Tyson was about to help Crystal out but Kai put a hand on his shoulder and muttered for him to stay.

"Draciel!! Come to me and fight by my side once again!!" Max shouted.

*THUD* everyone looked behind Max at the rumbling of giant footsteps.

"Whawhat is that!?!" Kenny shouted hugging Dizzi close to him.

"Something big is coming this way," Kai said gruffly. Max smiled, not his usually cheerful smile, but an evil smile. It didn't look like it belonged on Max's face.

"You guys remember Draciel don't you," Max said motioning towards the rustling of trees soon it revealed a very large turtle-like creature, which glowed bright green.

Crystal again stepped forward and dug in her pocket to get her Beyblade, "Will you shut up and fight!"

"Crystal I'm warning you, Max is no push over!" Tyson said to her back.

She replied but didn't look at him, "Don't worry I know what I'm doing." She set free her Beyblade releasing her bit beast Shimmer.

"Woah!! I've never seen a bit beast like that!" Kenny said opening his computer and observing the Horse like bit beast with a gold horn and a pair of beautiful wings. (Author's Note: YAY!! A UNICORN/PEGASUS!! I lUV THOSE TYPES OF THINGS!! THANKS NIGHTSWIFT!!!)

"IT'S ABOUT TIME CHIEF!!"

"I'm sorry Dizzi all lot of things happened and I didn't have enough time to open my computer."

"Psh! WhateverOOOOOOoooooooo! Who's fighting against Draciel?"

"I don't know what its name is. Crystal! What's your bit beasts name?"

"It's Shimmer. Alright let's go!" Shimmer jumped and charged towards Draciel head down, horn pointed towards him. Crystal walked up before Max with her sword in her hand.

Max motioned towards the sword, "Why do you bother with a sword you can't use it properly."

"Well Tolaku didn't let me finish, I was about to say that my grandfather showed me a little trick before he passed away."

Max raised his eyebrow, "And what would that be?"

Crystal smile grew, "Lightning Strike!!!" The light of her sword grew but narrowed into a straight line and became solid looking. When the light disappeared it revealed a Japanese sword in Crystal's hands.

"What is that!?!"

Crystal's smile widened, "It's your new best friend, Lightning Strike."

Max growled, "I'm not afraid of that thing."

She held Lightning Strike so that the light shined across it, "You should be."

Max frowned and quickly unsheathed to daggers and crouched a little. Crystal got into a ready position also. They circled each other now, waiting for the other to strike. Suddenly Max leapt towards her, and it began.

The clashing of metal could be heard throughout the whole entire room. Crystal was having a bit of trouble because Max had two daggers while she had one sword. But she blocked every one of his moves just in time.

After a while Max stretched his wings and took to the air, making Crystal frustrated because she couldn't reach him.

"SHIMMER!!" The horse broke away from its battle with Draciel and came galloping to Crystal. She quickly jumped on Shimmer. "Shimmer!! Fly!!!" The horse neighed and lifted it wings and with an all mighty leap flew into the air towards Max.

Draciel was about to knock Shimmer out of the air when a huge Dragon like bit beast appeared and rammed him.

"Yeah! All right Dragoon!!! Don't let Draciel mess up Crystal's battle!!" Tyson shouted to his faithful bit beast.

******

Crystal kept a firm grip on Shimmer's mane and the other hand she held her sword. Shimmer was flying straight towards Max who wasn't paying attention to the horse charging towards him in the air was now focused on the fight with Draciel and Dragoon.

Shimmer flew right past him, but Crystal managed to knock him in the head with the hilt of her sword, and he fell onto to the hard floor.

"Grrr!" he growled, he was about to get up but a sword was pushed towards his throat. He looked up and saw Crystal sitting on her bit beast like a knight on their noble stead.

"Give up you lost." Crystal muttered.

"Never!" snarled Max, in his hand a ball of electricity was formed but Crystal saw and threw her sword at him. They were both thrown back. To Crystal everything went black.

******

Her blurry vision slowly came to focus, she slowly recognized who was looking down at her.

"Tyson, what happened?"

"Crystal! Your awake good, we were starting to get worried."

"Just tell me what happened."

"You saved Max!!"

"I did?"

"Yeah when you threw your sword it barely grazed Max's neck, but it managed to cut off the jewel around his neck."

"So he's fine."

"Yeah, thanks to you. You were awesome!!"

Crystal sat up and smirked, "Yeah I was, wasn't I?"

"You saved me." Crystal looked up at Max who was standing next to Kai.

"It was nothing."


"Don't get too cocky you still have to fight Sutekh."

Tyson looked at him with confusion, "But what about Julia? We had to fight you and Tolaku, don't we have to fight her too?"

Max shook his head, "Julia has a bigger purpose than me and Tolaku. She is the one that will help Sutekh destroy this world. Tolaku and me were supposed to aid her, but she can still do it on her own."

"Not that I'm complaining that we don't her, but why do we still not fight her?"

"Sutekh is not as powerful as you think. He can't make Julia do it. Try to get through to her though, even though she'd being controlled she's still inside there somewhere." Max looked towards Kai and held it there until Kai's eyes locked onto his.

"So what do we do?" Crystal asked.

"We do nothing, it's Kai's turn now."

"Kai? Why him?" Tyson asked bluntly.

Crystal whacked him over the head, "Are you blind!?!"

"What!?!"

"Nothing!" She turned towards Kai, and smiled. "Max is right, you have to go on. We'll head back towards Ray and Tolaku."

"What do I do to get there," Kai asked.

Max pointed towards a wall and murmered, ".Oisdo."

The same thing happened when Tolaku opened the door, a light outlined a door, and opened.

Max turned to Kai, "Good luck."

Kai didn't seem appreciated of those words he just walked through the doors and up the long flight of stairs. Max, Crystal, Tyson, and Kenny stood there a minute watching Kai disappear through the door.

"Let's head back now," Crystal said turning towards the other door that they had came from.

Max muttered something and his green wings disappeared. Tyson looked at his best friend in shock, "Dude! What happened to your wings?"

"Oh now that I know about them I can make them reappear and disapear at will. It's a great relief becaise they can get in the way sometimes."

"Can Tolaku do the same thing?"

Max looked at Tyson with utter confusion, "Tyson how thick can you get! Of course she can!! We have the same type of blood line."

"Oh."

"Forgive him of his stupidity. I know it can be hard, but just try," Crystal said smiling at Max.
