*Sakura88 hums along to 'Fighting Spirits' on her CD while spinning around in her computer chair, Mariah and Ray are asleep in each others arms, Max is bouncing up and down the hallways, and Tyson is... um... somewhere.*
*Doorbell rings*
Me: AI YA!!! *Falls off her chair and her face is to the ground* X_x Owww...

*Mr. Next Door Neighbour stands on the welcome mat holding Tyson by his shirt collar: By any chance do you know him? He was raiding my fridge and he's eaten everything.
Tyson: Heh heh... hey Sakura88. *Waves weakly*
Me: Ehh... yes. Thanks for bringing him back! Bye! *Grabs Tyson and slams the door* Why did you have to eat everything?
Tyson: Cuz I was hungry?
Me: Oii... I don't have time to deal with this right now. As your punishment, I sentence you to um... no dessert for a week!
Tyson: O_O NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! *Faints*
Mariah: Wow... at least Tyson won't eat any dessert saving some for us right?

Mariah: Anyways, Sakura88 doesn't own Beyblades but she does own a couple of made up attacks, and the Dark Vipers.
I Turn To You Pt. 5
________________________
"Driger! Tiger Claw Attack!" An enormous green light shot out and a tiger appeared. It rose out and put one of its paws down. The ground shook. Driger rose higher until he lit up the area where the two boys were battling. He felt the anger inside his master and he too felt angry. He began to attack viciously and accurately. Cokin on the other hand was dodging the blows. Half the time, the attacks hit him but he didn't seem to be getting weaker. The army green blade slowly began to move back while the dark grey blade kept on advancing towards the opponent's blade. Josh's face began to look pale as he saw his blade losing ground.
"Don't feel so confident now do you Josh? Your blade feels your fear of losing!" Ray shouted to his enemy. "It's time to give you a taste of your own medicine! Driger! Special attack! Mountain Tiger Strike! (A.N.: Mountain Tiger Strike is a made up attack. It's basically a very powerful attack, combining Galux and Driger's attack and fighting the opponent as one.) Mariah's pink blade began to glow from her coat pocket and Galux the mountain cat shot out of her blade and had her feet on the ground.
"Galux." Mariah murmured as the cat went to its mistress and purred. "Help Driger defeat Cokin." Galux meowed and bounded towards Driger. Driger acknowledged her presence and both cats started hurling their attacks at the snake.
"What? It can't be happening! A bitbeast helping another bitbeast without being summoned by its master? Impossible!" Josh took a step back, looking aghast. His bitbeast was getting weak from the two bitbeasts' attacks.
"It's not really impossible is it Chief?" Max asked.
"No, it's not. It's rare but it's possible. When the bitbeast's master cares for another person that also has a bitbeast and it's the same genus, the two bitbeasts can fight together. This only happens if the person who owns that bitbeast also cares about the other bitbeast's master. When this happens, either person can command the bitbeasts and do its bidding. So in this case, Ray cares for Mariah, and she cares for him. This means that bitbeasts are able to fight as one and Ray can command them." Chief answered.
"Ahh!!! Too much information!" Tyson moaned, his hands on the sides of his head.
Kai snickered. "I knew his pea-sized brain couldn't handle that, let alone understand it!"
Tyson had his fists up in front of his body. "You want to take this outside Mr. Pain-in-the-ass?"
"We're already outside stupid. But I'll gladly kick your ass right now." Kai began to clench his hands into fists but Max stopped them from making the first move.
"Can you guys not start a fight for once? We have an injured person here and her life may be at stake here."
"Hmmph." Kai walked away from Tyson and leaned against a tree trunk with his eyes closed. Tyson did the anime 'meh' face. (A.N.: The one that you see in many anime shows with the finger pulling the bottom eyelid down and the tongue sticking out) at Kai.
"Driger and Galux! Send that loser to the dumps! Attack as one! Use Fury Swipe!" (A.N.: Made up attack. Self-explanatory.) Ray yelled out. The bitbeasts obeyed and their sharp claws swiped at the snake and beyblade. As quickly as it happened, the army green blade shattered into a thousand pieces. The Dark Vipers had their mouths open. No one has been able to destroy Josh's blade, let alone win! Josh pounded the ground with his fists. His knees were on the ground.
"I couldn't have lost! I was the best! This is a dream! I bet this is not even real! I'll pinch myself and I'll wake up from this nightmare." Josh yelled out in anguish.
"This isn't a dream Josh. It's reality. Oh yeah. Get used to it!" Ray picked up his blade and the bitbeasts went back into their beyblades. He ran towards Mariah to see how she was faring. Her face and body were pale as marble. Her breaths were sharp and short. Her golden eyes were beginning to dim.
"Mariah! Hang on!" Ray flipped his cell phone open and dialled 911 with one hand while his other hand held onto Mariah's. Her hands were cold as ice.
"Hello. What is the problem?" A woman's voice answered his call.
"Hello? I need an ambulance immediately. My girlfriend's injured badly."
"All right. Where are you located?"
"Victoria Park. Close to the pine trees."
"Ok sir. The ambulance will arrive in about 10 minutes."
"Ok." He closed his phone. He focused on keeping Mariah warm.
Kai ran towards Josh and stood in front of him.
"What do you want?" Josh asked nastily.
"Just an answer for my question. Where is my grandfather's headquarters?"
"Why should I tell you?"
Kai punched Josh in the face and continued beating him up. After a few minutes, Kai held a part of Josh's shirt in his fist.
"If you want some more of that, I suggest you tell me now before I start hurting your girlfriend too." Kai hissed.
"Alright, alright! I'll tell you! Just don't hurt Kristy. He's in New Zealand."
Kai dropped him to the ground and walked back to his team.
"Ray?" Mariah's voice was faint.
"I'm here Mariah."
"I have something to tell you."
"I do too. Let me start first."
"Ok." Mariah coughed a little bit. Ray cleared his throat and spoke while twirling a strand of pink hair within his fingers.
"You always have been my best friend and you forgave me for leaving the village first. You supported and stood up for me every time. Ever since we were little kids, I liked the way your eyes glimmered when you first laughed your beyblade. Your pout was ever so cute when your blade stopped spinning and wondered why it stopped so fast. I want to be with you forever. Mariah, Wo Ai Ne. I always have. If you have your sights set fro someone else, I'll understand."
"Ray. Wo Ai Ne too. I thought that you wouldn't return the feelings if you had someone else in your life."
Ray smiled and moved his head closer to hers and their lips met. They continued kissing with Mariah's arms around Ray's neck and his hands around her waist. (A.N.: Cheesy eh?) When they broke for air, Mariah cried out in pain.
"Mariah?" Ray's voice was filled with panic and his eyes widened as Mariah went limp in his arms. "Mariah!" He kept sharking her with no response. "Mariah! Wake up! Open your eyes for me please!"
As if Mariah going unconscious was the trigger, the flashing colour of red reflected off of the trees. The ambulance arrived. Two paramedics jumped out of the van and took a stretcher out. They lifted Mariah gently onto the stretcher. As they were rolling the stretcher away, another paramedic came out.
"She may be in serious condition. We need someone to come with her."
"I'll go. I have to know if she'll be all right. I'll also pay for her expenses in the hospital." Ray replied.
"Ok son. Hop in. Your friends can ride in the front of the van."
Ray nodded and motioned his hand to Max, Tyson, and Kai to follow him before stepping into the back.
"Does that mean I don't get that ice cream?" Tyson spoke up.
"No Tyson. We can get your ice cream after this ordeal's over." Max calmly replied and climbed into the front seat.
Tyson nodded sadly and followed suit. Kai glanced in the Dark Vipers' direction. They were gone. He sighed and climbed into the van.
