Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade so don't sue.
This chappie is a little better than the second one but it has a beybattle in it and it was a bore to write 'cos I know nothing about writing action scenes. I know I'm dragging the story on but I feel that if I don't explain things properly it can make readers really confused, ultimately. This chappie is way longer than the other two but it covers for the really short second chappie. Btw, if you were wondering about the title "Destiny's Path" you get it at the end, if I ever get there.*groans*.
Destiny's Path
Chapter 3 - Let Hell Loose
"You still game?" Her response came out loud and clear, teasing, taunting them.
Tyson felt his insides explode from overheating. He was steaming as anger filled his mind. He couldn't control it any longer. "You show her Max, what we're made of!"
"You really think you can beat us?" Ray said with full confidence in his teammates and himself.
"Without a doubt," she paused, "without a bitbeast." She could see the anger that filled their eyes. She could see the rage in Tyson, the anxious faces of Max and Kenny, Ray's frustration. Mariah's face showed nothing of what she felt; only her strong disliking appeared, from her glare. Kai, emotionless as she. What was he thinking?
"She thinks she can bring us down without a bitbeast. Humph! Think again!" Kai concluded in his mind. How could this girl be as powerful as she said she was? No chance! "You overestimate your powers," he said to her face.
Tyson agreed with him, for once.
She did not respond. The silence was effective.
It was a while until Max stood up. He did not doubt her powers as the others did. He knew she was serious. He saw the look in her eyes that faced him so. He stared back at her, trapped in her gaze. He could not break free from her stern look. She showed no emotion, no fear, and no hesitation.
She widened her eyes, releasing him. "Are you ready?"
By this time Max had moved to a position in front of her. He took out his blade from his pocket. "Good luck Draciel." He wished it luck, from his mind, as he looked down at the blade that lay in his hand. He glanced back up at her. "Ready when you are." He attached his blade to his launcher.
Ray gave the count. "Three, two, one.let it rip!"
Max shouted, "go Draciel!" as he launched his blade in mid air.
She launched her's simultaneously at the sound of the "let it rip". Her blade was much smaller but it was faster. A lot faster. Her blade was mostly a purple-violet color with a tinge of blue on the rims. "This will be easy," she said, a smile creeping on to her face. Her blade flew through the air as she launched it. Spinning at top speed as it cut threw the friction that built up around it. It hit Max's blade while still flying, forcing it to plummet to the ground. His blade still spun, but unstably. Using the force emitted when Max's blade was hit, her blade bounced further air-bound. It flew quickly and landed at Max's feet. It spun in front of him, almost as if taunting him. It encircled him in an impenetrable ring as it continued to spin. "Wrong move, boy."
Max was in trouble.
Tyson looked on with disbelief. Her first was powerful. It was more than he expected. The damage inflicted on the blade was not great and it would not win her the battle, but the damage inflicted on Max, mentally, was painful, even to watch. Being hit like that by an amateur was.was.indescribable. Her blade was not all that powerful but by her rules she was in the right position. She had the advantage. Her blade might not be most powerful but it had enough power to do Max more than enough damage.
Kenny typed desperately on his laptop to analyze the attack and her blade. Attempted to find something, anything to get Max out of this mess.
Ray held on to Mariah. He was afraid. Guilt filled his mind. Had he made the right choice? Had he given the right advice? Max was going to get hurt and it was his fault. It was because of him, he had told them that they should battle. He didn't know what to do. Ray could tell Mariah understood how he felt. She held on to him just as tightly. His conscience rang clear in his mind. He had to do something.
"Better than I expected," Kai thought quietly, "but still no match for us, for me." He looked at Ray, who was now next to him, sitting in Max's vacated place, he could see the tension in his eyes. That feeling he could not understand, incomprehensible to him. Max was getting beat up on the battlefield yet Ray injuring. The feeling they called friendship. Then he felt it. Something hit him inside, something from that ice-coated mass that they called a heart. A certain feeling of concern came over him. He felt it but he didn't let on he did. He hid it but he knew. He wanted to do something.
She was changing his mind, slowly, gradually.
Max was worried. He was losing. He was trapped and could not get out. He didn't know what to do so he did the only thing left possible. "Draciel!" he summoned his bitbeast.
She was pleased. The pieces fell into place. All she had to do was wait for Draciel to come to her blade.
Draciel appeared from the blade emitting loud cries of anguish. Draciel spun towards Max and her blade, defending its master from any attacks. "Defence!" shouted Max, the way a basketball coach yelled at his players.
A minor setback. She should have guessed. Max, master of defence, would not attack. He would wait for her to be off guard before attacking her. If that's what he wants, that'll be what he gets. She would lure him into it. She called to her blade, "You know the drill!" She would get him to attack even if it meant hurting him. Nothing would stand in her way. Her blade increased in speed, it flicked back into the air and flew towards Max.
It was so fast, it happened so quickly. He watched it all. Her blade flew at him before he could move. He managed a dodge roll but it was too late. Her blade flew at him, slicing threw the palm of his hand. He flinched in pain as he fell to the ground. A red substance seeping through his broken skin.
"Max!" Tyson yelled in total frustration.
Ray growled and stood up. "I'm not taking this any longer!" He took out his blade and attached it to his launcher. He was going to step in. Enough was enough.
Kai saw Ray stand up. He wanted to do the same but he looked at Max. He saw it in his eyes, the determination, and the perseverance to play, to win. He couldn't do it. This was his fight.
Ray was about to launch his blade. An arm stretched out in front of him preventing him from intervening. It was Kai.
"Kai how can you be so cold? You can stand by and let her do this to him? Get out of my way!" Ray let his anger take control. He did not think to think.
At this point Kai had stood up also. He was looking at Ray, dead in the eye. "If you intervene, Max loses the battle, he loses his pride. This is his fight, let him fight it." He withdrew his arm. "It's your choice."
Ray glanced at Max, he saw it in his eyes, the way Kai had. He put his blade down. He turned back to Kai. He looked at him. An admirable smile at him, he noticed that Kai's character had changed. He was not as cold as he normally seemed. He was different. Ray knew something had changed him. He was their captain, their leader and he deserved it.
Tyson was confused. What were Kai and Ray talking about? He decided that could wait. Right now Max was hurt.
Kenny was still trying to analyze the battle, without success.
Max was on the floor. He was hurt but he had to keep focused on the battle before she could do anything else. Keep concentration on the job. He thought her guard must be down now, after that attack. "Draciel, now!"
"Score one for me!" She knew she'd won.
Draciel was about to attack, it was following her blade at top notch trying to get a clear view of the blade before launching.
Her blade spun around a few times before slowing down giving Draciel a clear view to attack. It had slowed, almost stopped.
Max didn't notice it but her blade was now spinning between him and his blade, giving him the perfect position to attack. He could attack her blade and it'd be all over. He'd win.
The boys all relaxed, unaware of an obscurity, all except Kai.
Something wasn't right. She had left such an open path for max to attack. It was so easy. Why couldn't she see this? Then it struck him. Unless this was what she wanted. "No!" Kai muttered under his breath, only loud enough that Ray could hear.
"What's wrong?" Ray asked in a surprised tone, turning to Kai. He thought that Max was going to win for sure.
Kai's eyes widened. "She's going to use his own attack on him!"
Ray did not understand what Kai meant by that but all would be explained in a matter if minutes, maybe seconds. The two boys could do nothing now, it was too late. They turned to Max and looked on.
Draciel launched its special attack. The purple blade stayed in place, set to receive the attack. Max relaxed, he knew it was over. He was going to win. Boy was he wrong. Her blade veered out of the way just in time. Ray understood. The purple blade spun out of the way of destruction and back towards its owner. Max saw it now. He had been set up. The attack was no longer headed for her blade but towards him. It was coming at top speed and beyond reversing. It was headed straight for him. Was this the end?
Draciel saw what was happening. His attack was going to hit his owner, his master, his friend. He couldn't let this happen. Draciel spun faster, flying towards Max, beating his own attack to him. Draciel spun in the way blocking the attack just as it was about to hit Max, causing a large glow on impact. Draciel had taken his own attack, for Max, it was painful.
"Draciel saved him!" Tyson exclaimed.
The glow of the attack dimmed. The winner revealed. Max's blade had stopped. It lay in front of him. He had lost. He did not know it then but he had not lost. He had won something that no one could deny him. The bond he and Draciel shared was unbreakable and it became most apparent to Ray and Kai.
Kai looked on. Max had lost. His predicament was indeed correct but there was one thing that still pondered his mind. How could Max's bitbeast and him have such a close connection, such a bond?
Ray wasn't surprised. Driger had done the same for him.
The purple-blue blade spun faster than ever. She stretched out her hand and the blade flew back up to it. It continued to spin in her palm until she stopped it with her grip. "Who's next?" She looked to Kai.
Max picked up his blade. "Thanks" he said to it. He returned to the bench with a strong scent of humiliation. He apologised to his teammates, ashamed. He sat down, between Ray and Kai.
Ray patted him on the shoulders offering some comfort.
Tyson got up. "You'll wish you'd never been born after I'm through with you!"
Kai looked on, unsatisfied.
Ray arose to Mariah's reluctant tugs. "She's mine, Tyson!"
Sorry guys, that must have been a long read. Thanks for reading. If you don't mind please R and R. I really want some opinions and advice about this fanfic. Sorry to all Max fans about the battle.I couldn't help myself. Sorry also for the strange Kai behaviour.he should return to normal in the next chappie. Oh yeah, thanks must go to the few people who actually review my work. Update soon.
