Legend Of The White Dragon
Chapter 22 - The Beast Of Beasts
"Where is he?" Ray asks himself as he slowly walks through the forest looking for Voltare.
"Right here White Dragon," comes Voltare's voice.
Ray turns just in time to see Voltare walk out from behind a tree and launch his black beyblade.
"ATTACK!"
________________________________________________________________________
"We're losing..." Kenny says as he looked in horror at the battle. The bitbeasts are barely able to fight back anymore as the enemy pummels them.
"We have to do something," Kansas says.
"We can't just let our bitbeasts fall to the enemy," Tyson growls.
"There's not much we can do," Kai says.
"It's all up to them now," Nadia adds.
"And Ray," Mariah speaks up, "Ray will be here... I know he will."
"The question is, will he be here in time?" Max asks.
"Let's hope he is," Kintana says as she crosses her fingers looking out at the fighting.
"Come on you guys! Don't give up!" Dizzi shouts from Kenny's laptop.
"Hurry Ray... We're waiting for you," Mariah whispers with a smile.
________________________________________________________________________
"ATTACK!" Voltare shouts as his beyblade flies at Ray. The bit on the blade begins to glow an eerie greyish black and soon a large bitbeast emerges from the blade.
Ray goes wide eyed as he looks at the seven headed, triple tailed, four armed, four footed, bat winged menace in front of him, "What... is... that... thing?"
"I'd like to introduce you to Multibeast. It was formed from the strongest bitbeasts that my company has collected over time," Voltare explains as the creature stops.
Ray looks at the creature. It looks like parts of a puzzle that were mixed together on accident. A serpent head, a jaguars head, a turtle head, a giraffe head, a hyena head, a large fox head, and a gorilla head, a cat like tail, a dinosaur like tail with spikes, a wolf like tail, a set of Vulture talons for back legs and a set of horse hooves at the front, a set of grey, clawed, six fingered hands, a set of unnaturally long t-rex claws, a set of bat wings with tiny little claws as well all ready to help tear him apart. He gulps, in both fear and disgust, "You are sick. How could you do that to living creatures?"
"Ha! Those creatures are only here to serve us humans. They have no lives," Voltare says.
Ray turns from the creature who seems to be studying him and glares at Voltare, "I will ask you again White dragon... Join me... Help me to take over this world and the two of us can rule it together."
"Never... I'd rather die," Ray growls.
"So be it... ATTACK MULTIBEAST!" Voltare shouts, "Rip him to shreds!"
Ray backs up wishing that he'd asked Driger to come with him. He knows he can't use his powers so long as Voltare has the book. He looks over and sees Voltare gently pat the book he's holding in one hand. Ray closes his eyes for a second trying to think. He opens his eyes again when he can't think of anything. Running would be useless in this situation. Multibeast roars as several of its heads charge up for an attack. Beams of different coloured lights form in the creatures many mouths and it opens its mouths wide sending out the attacks.
"NO!" comes a voice as something jumps in front of Ray. Ray goes wide-eyed and is thrown back along with the figure from the attack. The two hit a tree and fall to the ground.
Ray slowly opens his eye and looks at the figure who's lying on his chest, injured from the attack, "Mariah... Why did you do that?"
"I... I couldn't watch you get hurt... not again... not when I could stop it..." Mariah whispers in a weak voice as she slowly closes her eyes.
"Mariah... Please don't leave me," Ray whispers as a tear falls down his cheek.
"How cute... The bitbeast loves the human," Voltare laughs.
Ray looks at Voltare angrily then at the beast who'd hurt the girl he loves, "Don't worry Mariah... I'll help you."
"You can't do that without using your powers White Dragon..." Voltare smirks, "Ahh the choices we have to make sometimes... Let the one you love die or let yourself be captured by a madman."
Ray glares at him then looks back at Mariah sadly, "I could never let you die my love," he says as he slowly begins to glow a soft white colour. He places a hand on her chest and closes his eyes as the glowing begins to engulf Mariah.
While Ray is using his magic Voltare begins to read from the book of the dragon,
Your soul be mine,
Your power be locked,
Your mind be mine,
Your will be gone,
Your power be mine.
He chants as Ray slowly heals Mariah with his magic ignoring the evil man as best he can, not caring what happens to him. Mariah stirs a bit as the glowing begins to fade. Her injuries healed and her energy restored. She opens her eyes just in time to get a kiss from the fading Ray as he disappears.
"NO!" Mariah hollers as she quickly sits up staring at the place her love had just been.
"I think I'll take my leave now," Voltare laughs as he turns and begins to walk away. He holds out the black bit that Multibeast belongs in and the great beast returns to it.
"RAY! You monster! What did you do to him!?" Mariah shouts in anger as she gets up running at the man... but before she reaches him the man disappears from existence in a light fog. Mariah puts her hand to her face feeling the wet tears. She falls to the ground and cries.
________________________________________________________________________
"Draciel!" Max shouts out as his bitbeast falls to the ground joining Driger, Gillia, Garlius, Galux and Ginta. Dranzer, Dragoon and Glaciar continue to fight, but are slowly wearing out and definitely losing.
"Where are Mariah and Ray? We need their help!" Kansas says.
"I'm afraid your friends won't be coming," comes a voice from the side of them. They all turn to see Voltare standing there.
"What did you do to them?!" Kai growls.
"Dear, dear... So much anger..." Voltare says to his grandson.
"What did you do to them?!" Kai repeats just a little louder.
"You really should get help for that Kai," Voltare says calmly.
"DRANZER!" Kai shouts in anger. His bitbeast is soon by his side.
"Calm down... The girl is fine... As for the dragon... Well... He's where he belongs now," Voltare says as he goes to turn.
"What did you do to Ray?!" Tyson shouts as he goes to attack the man but is held back by Kenny and Max.
Voltare smirks and holds up a white bit then turns completely and disappears once again into a light fog. The others go wide-eyed then turn to see that the other bladers that they had been fighting have disappeared.
"Where? Where did they all go to?" Tyson asks.
"That is impossible... It defies the laws of... Umm... Ok help me out here Kenny," Kintana says putting a hand on her forehead and shaking her head.
"I'd say it defies the laws of everything," Kenny says.
"Where's Mariah then? He said he didn't do anything to her... Where is she?" Kansas asks.
"Let's go find her," Nadia suggests.
"Right," The others say as they all head into the forest.
________________________________________________________________________
Mariah looks around. She's once again in a different place then she'd been last time she could remember. She looks around. She seems to be in a small cabin of some sort. She looks at her clothing which looks like what Mormon's wear.
"Where am I?" she asks herself.
Suddenly something rubs up against her and she screams in fright. She takes a big breath then looks down to see a small black cat rubbing against her leg affectionately. She smiles slightly and kneels down petting the cat then picking it up to pet some more. As she pet the cat she walked around the small cabin wondering who lived there. She eventually made it to a mirror and gasped at what she saw. She saw a woman in her late 20s with long dirty blond hair. She put her hand to her face and examined as the figure in the mirror did the same.
"Did... Did I die and end up in another dimension?" she asks herself. She then puts the cat down and turns towards the cabin door. She closes her eyes for a second and heads to the door and slowly opens it up. She looks outside to see a forest of trees. She listens for a second and hears the faint sound of wood being chopped. She walks out and around the cabin till she sees a man about her age chopping wood. She looks him over and smiles. He looks like an older version of Ray without his ponytail. She guesses that she's in another dream of her past. She slowly walks up behind her beloved putting her arms around him and gently kissing his neck.
"What was that for?" he asks putting down the axe and turning around in her embrace putting his arms around her as well.
"Just for being you," she smiles sweetly.
"Well then... This is just for being you too," Ray says leaning over and kissing her tender red lips and slowly letting his tongue enter her mouth.
Mariah closes her eyes as she slowly lets her tongue enter his mouth as well hugging him closer, 'I'm beginning to wonder if this is heaven and not a dream,' she thinks to herself. She then stops the kiss for a second and looks at her hand seeing a beautiful golden wedding ring on it. She smiles again and puts her lips to his once more.
________________________________________________________________________
Mariah opens her eyes to the sound of banging. She looks beside her on the bed and blushes when she sees the older version of Ray sleeping silently beside her. She slips out from under the blankets and grabs her clothes quickly getting dressed. She shakes Ray to wake him.
"Morning love," he smiles.
"Hurry up and get dressed," Mariah smiles as she kisses him quickly. She then heads for the door. She opens the door to see several village people there looking angrily with guns and other weapons and one person holding a rope in his hands. Mariah feels something churn in the pit of her stomach.
"M... May I help you?" she asks in a quivering voice.
"Where is he?" one man asks.
"I'm afraid I don't know whom you mean," she says as she backs away from the door ready to slam it at any time.
"Move it woman," another man says as he pushes her away from the door and onto the ground.
"I'm so sarry Meera," says a woman about her age, "but ya knew this day would come. Salem'as become a place of death I'm afraid."
Mariah's eye go wide as she realises what's happening, "What... What did he do?"
"You remember, don't you? He saved that little girl who'd falled into the river and was drowning. She girl wasn't breathing for goodness sakes," she woman explains.
"This can't be happening," she sobs as she quickly gets up and turns to see several men dragging Ray out of the bedroom... Fully clothed! She sobs as a tear falls down her face then runs at one of the man hitting him, "Let him go! He didn't do anything wrong!"
"Meera... Stop that now... You don't want them to be thinking you a witch too do ya?" the woman who'd talked to her earlier says.
"I don't care!" Mariah shouts out. One of the man glare at her and motions for another who grabs her and holds her back. Mariah shouts and struggles to get free, but to no avail. The man drags her outside where the other men are setting up a noose around a tree. She begins to shake and cry uncontrollably. She falls to the ground crying, putting her head in her hands. "NO!" she shouts as she hears the sound of something being kicked and a sharp crack.
