I Turn To You Pt. 3

__________________

When both of the teams looked up, she continued talking.

"If the Bladebreakers win the best out of three battles, I get to keep my bitbeast and one of us gets to ask you a question."

"What if we win though?" The navy-blue haired boy named Stan Avery asked. "What will you give us then?"

She took a deep breath and answered, "I'll give up my bitbeast and join your side of evil and help Voltaire collect more bitbeasts to take over the world."

"No! Take me instead!" Ray used the trunk as a brace to help him stand up. "If you guys in, you get to take my bitbeast and I'll join your Dark Viper team."

"No Ray. It's my bitbeast they're after. I'll be fine."

"Awww... isn't that sweet. Prince Charming is trying to protect his princess. Just to destroy both your lives, we accepted your challenge!" Josh spoke for his team.

"We also accept the challenge. I feel like wiping the floor with someone's ugly face." Kai spoke up while glaring at Josh.

"Alright then. You have 6 minutes to plan your battles out. Good luck." Mariah walked over to Ray to help him up and followed the Bladebreakers team.

"This is going to be too easy! Bunch of amateurs I bet!" a black spiked hair teen named Dustin Lang spoke up with an overconfident grin upon his face.

"I don't think so. Mariah wouldn't be stupid enough to find some loser team to save her precious Ray let alone speak up of a beyblade battle with the prize of her bitbeast and herself at stake." Melissa replied.

"No matter! Anaconia can take them on!" Dustin flicked his black beyblade in the air and caught it.

While the Dark Vipers planned who should battle first, the Bladebreakers were huddled together.

"This is it guys. We have to win the battles or we'll lose Mariah's bitbeast." Tyson said with determination.

"I agree with you Tyson. We have to take them down like we did to the Demolition Boys." Max added in.

"Ok, here's the plan. I go first, then Max, and finally Kai. Our bitbeasts will send their beyblades outta there."

"How about I fight the last battle Tyson." Ray was seated at the park bench while Mariah was check if his injuries were serious. His voice was filled with stubbornness.

"Ray, you shouldn't. You're going to hurt yourself more if you battle." Mariah looked up at Ray with concern.

"Don't worry Mariah. I'll be fine. Trust me." Ray placed a kiss on her forehead and wrapped his arms around her.

"I always do." She put her head on his chest while Tyson and Max was sniggering at the 'scene' the two lovebirds were making. Ray and Mariah suddenly shot up in their usual positions while blushing fiercely.

"You sure you're up to this Ray?" Tyson asked.

Ray nodded. Every looked at Kai to see if he'll sit the battle out. "I wouldn't want to miss out this battle..." Kai paused. "But I'll make an exception." Kai had a tiny smile upon his face. Max clapped his hand on Kai's shoulder with a huge smile on his face.

"We didn't know you had that in you Kai." Kai crossed his arms across his chest and closed his eyes. "I'm just in a good mood, that's all." He then glared at Max's hand. Max took it away quickly.

"Alright! Let's get this battle on the road!" Tyson leaped in the air but lost his footing as he came down and fell flat on his face. Everyone laughed but Tyson. Even Kai cracked a smile. He scrambled back up, brushing off the dirt from his shorts while mumbling, "I meant to do that."

"Are you guys done making fools out of yourselves yet?" A harsh voice broke through the laughter like a knife. Kristy had her hands on her hips and glared at the crowd. Strands of her lavender hair flew at the slightest movement of air.

Tyson's eyes narrowed at his opponent and walked towards where they were battling. There were yells of encouragement from behind him. 'Come on Dragoon. We can win this battle.' He attached his blade to his launcher, as did Kristy.

"You ready to lose?" Kristy sneered as she spoke those words.

"Not in your life." Tyson replied. Max did the countdown.

"3...2...1... Let it rip!!!"

Both blades shot out with incredible speed and accuracy. Kristy wasted no time and commanded her blade to attack Tyson's.

"Pythonian! Demolition sting now!" The red blade began to glow and a ray of black light shot out. A four foot black snake rose out with its fangs showing. It shot yellow splinters of light at the grey blade but it dodged them all.

"Is that the best you can do Kristy? Dragoon! Show her how it's done!"

A light of blue shot up towards the sky and a blue dragon emerged.

"Dragoon! Storm attack!!"

The blade began to create a funnel cloud and it surrounded Kristy's blade.

"Pythonian! Try to neutralize the attack!" But with no avail, the red blade was pulled up by the strong winds and it shot past Kristy. Tyson's blade was still spinning.

"The winner is Tyson!" Max exclaimed heartily.

"I can't believe I lost to a boy!" Kristy fell to her knees and sat there motionless.

"Guess you Dark Vipers are losing your touch eh?" Tyson smirked while his blade shot into his hands and he walked back towards his team.

"Good job Tyson!" Kenny said with happiness.

"You showed them!" Dizzi piped up.

"Thanks guys. It's your turn Max. Show them what you got!" Tyson high-fived Max and Max walked towards the battling area.

Dustin was already there with a cocky grin on his face. "Girls are easy to beat... but you'll never defeat the guys of the Dark Vipers."

"I'll be the first to try then!" Max shot back. Kai stepped in and did the job of Jazzman.

"Are you guys ready?" Both nodded. "3...2...1... Let it rip!"

"Go Draciel!" Max called out.

"Go Anaconia!" Dustin shouted as he launched his blade.

Both blades wasted no time and started ramming against each other. Max and Dustin were concentrated on the battle. Max racked his brain to find a strategy in beating Dustin's bitbeast.

"So Dizzi, anything on Dustin's bitbeast?" Kenny asked while watching the battle.

"Sorry. Can't seem to find anything. The only thing I have is his bitbeast is a type of snake. In fact, all of the Dark Vipers bitbeasts are snakes."

"WHAT? Snakes?" He cried out loud.

"Well, I have to give you some major points for finding out what our bitbeasts are portrayed after." Dustin said, overhearing Dizzi's discovery. "But you'll never find out my bitbeast's weakness! Anaconia! Time to show yourself!"

Green light shot out of the spinning black blade and what emerged from it was a heavy-looking anaconda snake. Its wide green body looked as if it could crush the world into smithereens.

"Anaconia! Special attack! Death Wrap!" The blade began to circle around the green blade. In Max's eyes, it was a black blur, going round in circles, net letting his blade to escape in any way.

"Draciel! Be ready for anything! Use Metal Defence Ball!"

"Ha! As if your defence will help you! Attack now Anaconia!"

The black blade continued to go around the green but this time, there were sparks flying as Dustin's blade hit Max's and started to make the blade go wobbly.

"No!!! Draciel!"

"Nothing can save your Draciel now Max! Anaconia! Finish it off!"

The blade hit its opponent's blade off balance and it shot Max's blade in the air. The green blade landed, not spinning.

"Dustin is the winner." Kai declared with a hint of anger in his voice.

"See? I told you that no one could beat the boys of the Dark Vipers! You were close though."

"Uh... thanks, I guess."

"Well see ya around!"

Max nodded and walked back to the team.

"Sorry I lost guys."

"Max, it's ok. You did your best." Tyson said, as Kenny, Ray, and Mariah nodded in agreement. Kai however was seething with fury.

"I think you should have concentrated more Max. Thanks to you, we're tied with one a piece." Kai shot a death glare at Max.

"Oh, lay off on your attitude Sour pants. You could have lost to Dustin too." Tyson said, standing up to Kai.

"So you're saying that you could beat him with your pea-sized brain?"

"What?!! I don't have a pea-sized brain! Maybe you do!" Tyson's hands were clenched tightly.

Kai was going to reply to Tyson's comment when Max spoke up.

"Just chill guys. Kai's right. I should have concentrated more. At least we have Ray to break the tie."

"I agree with Max. Ray's going to bring the Dark Vipers to their knees." Chief said in confidence.

Tyson stuck his tongue out at Kai and sat on the park bench. Ray stood up and was supported by Mariah as he walked to the center.

"You can do it Ray!" Tyson yelled out.

"You sure you're up to this Ray?" Mariah asked quietly.

"Yes. Don't worry about a thing Mariah." he replied. She nodded acknowledging his answer.

Josh was already there, his eyes filled with hatred.

"Your team mate had to win against Kristy didn't he? Well, we have a score to settle now, Raymond." Josh spat out. "I'm taking out my revenge on b you/b!"

"Your girlfriend's blading techniques suck. That's why she lost!" Ray retorted.

"NO ONE disses my girlfriend and gets away with it! It's time to battle!" Josh and Ray put their blade on their launchers.

"Ready?" Mariah was refereeing this round. "3...2...1... let it rip!"

The blades shot out and began attacking. Sparks filled the arena as the blades hit each other head on.

'Come on Driger, you can beat him. Ray... please be careful.' Mariah silently thought to herself as the battle began.

Me: Part 3 is complete! Wow! My record of 9 pages! Cool! Ray? Mariah is currently missing...

Ray: WHAT????? O.O She might be lost! I'm gonna go look for her. *runs off*

Me: Ok then...

Kai: Ray better beat that asshole Josh or I'll get Dranzer to hunt you down and cut you down to size.

Me: O_O *gulps* Max, if you help me with something, I'll give you a pixie stik ok?

Max: OKEE!!! ^O^

Me: -_-; All right then. Tell them the question they have to answer in their review.

Max: Sakura88 wants to know what should happen to Mariah after she gets hurt (hint, hint)? Here are the choices:

            a) She dies in Ray's arms.

            b) She goes to the hospital (and I'll make a sequel so you peeps know if she's

    alright).

            c) She suddenly gets healed by magic after the battle is over.

            d) We as the reviewer should choose Mariah's fate.

            If you pick d), tell us what your idea is and she'll read the choices.

Me: What else?

Max: If you added Sakura88's story as one of your favourite stories, tell her in the review also so she can thank you! Now can I have the pixie stik now?
