Shadow-Assassin: I'd like to thank haz2080 for answering the request that Ray and Mariah put out and all the readers. I love you guys…

=^-^=

*Shadow-Assassin is still tied to the school flag pole and Mariah and Ray have just returned from their date*

Mariah: YES!!!!!!!!

Ray: What is it?

Mariah: Idea! Someone wants us to put Shadow in a Beyblade stadium and send our bitbeasts at her.

Shadow-Assassin: Traitor!

Mariah: *Sticks a sock in Shadow's mouth* Shut up.

Ray: Ok then... All we need now is to get to a beystadium.

Mariah: I've learned a few things while watching Shadow work... *Snaps her fingers and a great big beystadium appears*

Ray: Great! *Lets Shadow down from the flag pole and shoves her into the beystadium bowl*

Shadow-Assassin: You'll regret this! You're fired!

Mariah: You never really hired us... Plus we don't want to be here anyway.

Shadow-Assassin: Grrr...

Ray: Oh be quiet... *Readies his beyblade*

Mariah: *Smirks and readies her beyblade as well*

Ray: 3...2...1... LET IT RIP!

*They both send their blades into the stadium*

Shadow-Assassin: AHHH!

Legend Of The White Dragon

Chapter 18 - The Capture

The groups are at the beyblade championships. It is the last round and AJ and Brad introduce the two remaining bladers that will duel to win the American tournament as the crowd looks on anxiously waiting to see who will become the victorious team.

"Hello and welcome to the glitter dome and the last round of the American tournament! This is Brad Best," Brad starts off.

"And AJ Topper and this is sure to be one hum dinger of a match, " AJ says as the crowd cheers.

"It all comes down to this final match up. It's Ray VS Mariah," Brad says. " These two competitors have fought hard to get to the top. They've never gone easy on anyone and I doubt they'll start today. "

"Hope the Bladebreakers have health insurance cause the Bladettes are gonna give them a one way trip to the ER. " A.J says.

"The Bladebreakers will make the Bladettes wish they never heard of beyblading. " Brad says challenging his co-host.

"No way. Mariah and her charming cheetah are going for the gold!" AJ says.

"Sure, but can she stand the heat from Ray's kick ass kitty?" Brad asks.

"Mariah will crush Ray's pathetic pussy cat regardless of her feelings, " AJ argues.

"Ya anyway... let's introduce the competitors for the first round. " Brad says.

"We've got the oh so lovable Mariah. This pink haired team captain is no stranger to the beyblading world. She fought long and hard through the Asian tournament with her old team known as the White Tigers. Her bitbeast Galux is no preppy pussycat. She's all fight and very little fur," AJ says.

"Very little fur?" Brad asks.

"I couldn't think of anything else," AJ answers.

Brad sighs and says, "As for Ray... Well... Him and his kitty cat are gonna rock this stadium tonight!"

"This is embarrassing," Ray says with a sigh.

"They always go a little overboard on the last round," Kenny observes.

"No kidding," Tyson yawns as the two announcers continue their little one sided chat with the crowd.

"And on to DJ Jazzman," Brad says.

"Finally," Tyson sighs, "Now get out there and give it your all Ray. We're routing for ya."

"Ya, you can do it buddy," Max grins.

"Thanks guys," Ray nods as he turns and heads to the bowl.

Mariah winks at her teammates and walks up the bowl as well sending Ray a kiss when she gets there.

Ray shrugs it off and readies his beyblade, as does Mariah.

"Beybladers ready?" DJ asks, "3...2...1... LET IT RIP!"

Both beybladers pull the ripcords letting their blades fly into the bowl. Both blades start at each other once again. Sparks and dust and bits of the bowl go flying everywhere.

"Driger! Tiger Claw Attack!" Ray shouts out. Ray's blade spins faster and the bowl is ripped apart by the great beyblade as it creates trenches in the it.

Mariah goes wide eyed, "Be careful Galux!"

But it is too late... Her blade falls into the gap and falls to the ground.

Mariah smirks a bit then smiles as she picks up her beyblade, "Great work Ray... But I'm not letting you win again."

"You don't have much of a choice," He grins back.

"Keep it up Ray!" Tyson shouts.

Ray looks back and nods to his teammate then turns back and readies his beyblade. Mariah sighs and readies her beyblade as well.

"Beybladers ready?" DJ asks.

Both nod then look over at each other with determination in their eyes.

"3...2...1... LET IT RIP!" DJ shouts smacking the ground with his whip.

Both beyblades fly into the beystadium and immediately start to clash and smash. They both try to knock the other out of the bowl but neither seems to be gaining ground.

"Give em a right and a left and a..." AJ says.

"This isn't boxing AJ," Brad says.

"I know... It's better," AJ replies.

Sparks begin to fly and something goes flying out of the bowl.

"I don't know what that was but I have the feeling someone's beyblade might be in missing... something," Brad says.

"Come on Galux! Give it to em!" Mariah says with a grin.

Her blade glows and Galux arises from it ready for battle.

"Ok then... Go Drigger!" Ray calls out.

His blade glows and Driger emerges from it ready to fight.

"ATTACK!" They both shout at once.

The two blades fly at each other and crash and smoke and dust and debris flies all over clouding the bowl.

"Aww man, I hate it when that happens," AJ complains.

"We'll have to wait to see if anyone won that round," Brad says.

The dust clears and the crowd cheers, "Ray's blade is out of the bowl. Mariah wins this round!" DJ shouts out.

"Umm... We will be taking a bit of a break while we fix the bowl... Thank you and have a nice day," AJ says.

Mariah blows Ray and kiss then runs off to her own bench.  Ray smiles and turns heading back to his team.

"Way to go Ray... Just win the next one and we are the champs man!" Tyson beams.

"Ya you did great out there buddy," Max adds.

Mariah stretches from her bench winking at Ray. He smiles at her then notices a man in black enter the beyblading area with several men in black following closely behind him. They are surrounding a blond haired woman in a white lab coat. The men in black surround the area blocking the exits. The blonde woman, who is holding a strange looking book, walks up the stairs and into the middle of the beystadium. Ray recognizes her as being Max's mother. She opens the book then begins to read off the pages.

Ray backs up to one of the exits not noticing they have all been blocked. Ray reenters the beyblading area with a gun to the head. Mariah gets up off the bench seeing the guy holding a gun to Ray's head. Tyson and Max stand up quickly glaring at the men in black. Max turns to look at the blond haired woman he once called his mother. Kansas stands up holding Mariah back.

Ray's team looks to the bleachers as people are being forced back into their seats by more of the blonde woman's goons. Several of the men in black go and grab the two teams.

"GOD DAMNIT! " Kai shouts as someone pushes him forward.

Suddenly Ray's forehead begins to glow and Ray yells in pain as the man in black yanks his bandanna off and pushes him to the ground. The man in black backs away closer to the center of the beystadium. A white crystal shines in the middle of his forehead and people gasp in confusion. Ray is kneeling on the ground holding his stomach. The woman holds out a clear crystal ball in her right hand.

"This is NOT good! " Dizzi says.

Suddenly a funnel of wind swirls around Ray and the light surrounds him. As the light and wind dies down a frightening creature is left behind.  Fierce blue eyes glare at the woman as the white dragon prepares to attack.

Mariah recognizes the creature. "It... It's him... he's alive... " She stutters. In a fit of rage the dragon lashes out at the blonde haired woman. She holds out the crystal ball and it begins to glow. The dragon backs away cautiously but he's slowly dragged into the crystal ball. The light dies down and everything is deathly quiet.

The beyblades belonging to the Bladebreakers and the Bladettes begin to glow. The beybladers stare awe struck as their bitbeasts appear around the beystadium.

"RAY!! " Mariah yells breaking the silence.

The bitbeasts go to attack but the woman holds up the crystal ball saying, "I wouldn't do that if I were you. " The bitbeasts back off glaring at the woman.

She smirks as another person enters the stadium from the back. His black cloak draped over his figure. He walks calmly to the woman who hands him the crystal ball.

Kai recognizes the man as his grandfather and screams, "YOU ASSHOLE! " as he elbows the man holding him back. Suddenly there are several other guns pointing at his head. He snarls at the man in the black cloak as he walks away. Kai clenches his fists and watches the man unable to do anything.

Mariah steps on the foot of the man holding her back then she runs to the blonde woman. "Take me with you! " she shouts.

The woman glares at her. "Now why would I want to do that? " she asks.

"I can keep him calm... you wouldn't want any accidents. " she growls back at the woman.

"Very well, move it. " She says as she points a gun at Mariah.

The two walk out and the men in black soon follow.
