Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade so don't sue.
This is a really long chapter cos I tried to condense all the battling cos most people seem to be less interested in Beybattles and more interested in the actual storyline. Anyways, some of this may be a little confusing cos I didn't explain things (condensing) so review and tell me if there's anything that needs fixing. Also, thanks must go to noami azuki (you'll soon see why she wants to battle Kai so much later) and Lord Cynic (in response to your question.what exactly are you implying?) who reviewed more than once.
Destiny's Path
Chapter 5 - Fast and Furious
She slapped her hard on the face.
Her cheek flushed red. Her face jolted to the side from the force of the slap. She let a memory slip from her mind.
FLASHBACK
She slapped her on the face. Sending her daughter falling to the bed.
Her mother hit her. She could see the anger in her eyes. She no longer hid it. She drew a hand to her own face, feeling the heat that had already began to emanate from her own cheek. Her mother was not like this. She looked up, her eyes wide, searching her mother for answers. But she already knew what this was about.
"Can't you just accept who he is? He's been good to you, can't you just, .just," she breathed out and took her hand and brushed it through her loose hair. She closed her eyes and turned away. She walked out of the room quietly trying to control her own emotions. She left her daughter in the room. She could not change the way things were.
Her mother had left her. No, she couldn't just accept who he was. She could not just forget everything and just love him because he had not been good to her. That bastard of a father had turned her own mother against her. How she despised him. How she just wanted to be rid of him, dispose of him somewhere and never have to deal with him again.
END FLASHBACK
She felt it. It hurt to think of her past. She wanted to forget, to forget it all but it would not leave her. She would make it. She would not surrender in to it. She would not be affected by it.
She moved her head out of the jolted position back to its original pose, her narrow eyes on Mariah.
It was as though she couldn't even feel the slap. It was if it didn't hurt, she didn't even finch. Mariah felt the soft drops run down her face, she hurt. She hurt for Ray. She wanted to slap her again, again and again until it hurt her, until she could she her pain.
Kai saw the resemblance in their characters. She felt no pain. She was cold and closed, not open, not vulnerable. She kept everything to herself. She reminded him of himself, the way he was. He hated to admit it but it was as of she had gone through the same thing he had. The traumatic past, a lost identity, pain that made them so cold. Something closed her forever, not being able to open up to anyone, afraid to be hurt once more. He closed his eyes and when he opened them he saw the same coldness in her eyes that he saw every time he stared in a mirror. Who was she? Did she fear her past as he did? It intrigued his curious character. He wanted to satisfy that curiosity.
"Call an ambulance, someone! Call Mr Dickenson!" Tyson yelled. He rushed over to Ray, inspecting the state he was in.
Kenny was in shock. He gripped his laptop, paralysed with fear.
Max looked around. No one seemed to be making an attempt to call for help. Tyson and Mariah were now attending to Ray and Kenny was petrified. Kai, he knew, would not bother to make any phone calls now, and as for the girl, not a chance, she wasn't even concerned she almost killed Ray. It left him. He took out his cell and rang for assistance, stat.
Mariah broke her stare and went over to Ray. She looked at him, he was unconscious and they didn't know how he was doing. All they knew was he was still breathing, but for how much longer? She saw Tyson was looking after him. "Take care of him until I return." She had stopped crying.
Tyson nodded, "show this ice queen a piece of your mind!"
Mariah stepped up to the battlefield. She waited for no one. She launched her blade before a count could be given.
Her blade still spun from the battle with Ray. She did not plan to relaunch it. She wanted to battle Kai, now, and she didn't want ti wait any longer. This was a waste of time.
The two blades were now locked in combat. Mariah wasted no time and called upon her bitbeast, Gallux. Before Gallux could appear, the purple blade swerved towards Gallux knocked it airborne, flying towards Mariah, no longer spinning.
Mariah saw her blade and caught it with her hand. She launched it again, determined to win. She would not give up so easily.
Her blade knocked Mariah's blade off balance once more.
Time and time again Mariah launched her blade. Each time more determined than the last. But time and time again the small purple blade sent her blade flying back at her.
"Don't waste my time!"
Mariah held her blade in her hands. Tears fell once again. She knew she was no match for this girl but she couldn't give up. Not for Ray.
"They say pretty in pink, more a sore sight for eyes," she mocked when she saw Mariah in tears.
Tyson saw Mariah's hesitation, she was struggling. He couldn't stand by and watch his friends get hurt one by one. And he most certainly couldn't stand by watching them humiliated by this, this pushover. Who did she think she was? "Stand aside Mariah! I'll handle it from here, my turn!"
Mariah was almost relieved. She turned her back to the dark-haired girl and returned to Ray's side. She hoped Mr Dickenson and the ambulance would arrive soon.
Kenny quivered with fear, afraid to even watch.
Max had rung for an ambulance and was now on the phone with Mr Dickenson, telling him to come right away. He spent no time explaining to him why his presence was needed so immediately as Max was eager to return to his teammates and offer his assistance and encouragement.
Kai no longer doubted her powers or her abilities. There was something strange about her, about the way she fought. He thought he had seen her moves before, but where? Tyson overestimated her power but he underestimated her ingenuity. Tyson was walking on water.
The 'ice queen' stretched her hand to the side and her blade returned to her palm as it had done before. She attached it to her gun-modelled launcher and raised her artillery, motioning to Tyson to do the same. She cast a glace to Kai before fixing a firm stare on both Tyson and his blade.
By this time Tyson had prepared his blade and launcher, awaiting the count. He had waited for this moment for a long time, being beaten to the battle by Max, Ray and Mariah. He finally had what he wanted although it came at a painstakingly high price, the downfall of his friends. Tyson laughed aloud, "No one calls the world's number one player an amateur!"
"It's rather inappropriate for you to be laughing at this moment, wouldn't you say?" she commented in an infuriating tone of voice.
Kai snorted, "Number one player, was this a joke?" Of course he did not say this to Tyson's face, knowing too well that Tyson's temper would get the better of him, and ultimately affect the outcome of the battle.
Max gave the count, hesitantly, seeing no one else was going to. "Three, two, one.let it rip!"
Tyson sent his blade soaring through the air. "Dragoon!" he summoned. He had to call his bitbeast out to play as soon as possible. Otherwise she wouldn't give him a chance to. Her style was somewhat similar to that of Kai's, fast and furious, leave them pondering over what just hit them.
Just as she had predicted, he would attack before letting her get a chance to. "This one's for you Kai," she thought to herself.
Tyson thought if he should go for it. Should he attack now or should he wait until it was absolutely crucial? He made up his mind, "Dragoon storm now!" It was too late to back down now.
She heard it loud and clear. A tornado was coming her way. It would not be hard to dodge but dodging wasn't her idea of a strategy for victory. It was then an idea sprang from her mind, it was risky but if she managed to pull it off the battle was guaranteed. It would either make of break the situation. She was indecisive. Would she take the easy way or the hard path? How could she refuse a challenge like that? She took the risk.
A storm was in the brewing.
Everyone looked on anxiously, even the dark mysterious girl.
The tornado was coming her way, carrying up with it pieces of rubbish and lost junk the fans had left behind. He blade spun in a fixed point awaiting the storm.
Kai tried to analyze what was going on. This was too easy. She didn't even try to resist Tyson's attack. It was coming and she made no attempt to move her blade out of the path of destruction. Was this another one of her tricks? What was she planning this time?
The huge gusts of the storm tornado swept up the little purple blade just like that. The dark swirls engulfing the blade into the center of the attack, whisking it from sight. Would this be the end?
Tyson saw what happened. What was she thinking? He suspected she would try something devious but taking his attack full on? Had she lost her mind? She stood no chance. Her blade would not be able to withstand his attack no matter how it was inflicted.
That was phase one complete. All she had to do now was wait for her blade to re-emerge. She waited but nothing appeared. Had she made the wrong decision? Had she lost it all? No, it couldn't be, she had faith in her blade, she wouldn't give in. She continued to wait, patiently.
Tyson had won. He couldn't lose now. He no longer had to be afraid. Tyson said he'd handle it and he lived up to his word. Kenny could relax now, a fear no longer lingered in his mind.
It would be a while before anything emerged from that tornado of a storm. It was when Tyson was off guard that something did appear. An undistinguishable object, flashing purple, swerved on to the tornado, spinning with it. The purple object let the storm take it around and around, using force of the storm to spin faster.
Tyson noticed something an odd color flashing around his storm. Was it what he thought it was?
Then something unpredicted, uncalled for happened, the object flew from the storm, spinning so quickly that its whereabouts could not be told.
Was this as he saw it or was it only his state of mind? Tyson looked to his teammates, seeing a confused, bedazzled expression on their faces, to his dismay.
She knew too well what this was. All her doubts were lifted. She had pulled it off. It was in the bag now. She just had to finish it off. A grin crept on her face as she turned her attention to Kai, "last chance."
Before he knew it he heard something zoom past his ear and when he looked back to the battlefield he no longer saw his storm or his blade. All that remained was the purple blade that seemed almost invisible to the untrained eye.
Kai saw it coming. The blade sent flying through the air was headed his way. He stood his ground. The blade would not reach him at this rate. A white blade crashed on the bench before him, Tyson's blade. It had stopped. "Was that a threat?"
Was that long? Muhahaha.sucked in Tyson. Thanks for reading. Please read and review.
