"The city of Pais is glowing," sighs "True that's because it's *on fire* but still there's lamure."

AJ: ANGELIQUE!!!!

Angelique: What? It's funny. (takes a squere and roasts a hot dog on some flames of a nearby buidling with this big grin on her face)

AJ: (glares) If you don't put Paris out this instant I am going to rewrite it that you are carrying Mummra's child.

Angelique: Ekkk! Ok! Ok! Any thing but THAT!

Angelique uses her water powers to flood Paris and as the waters reced everything looks as if there was no fire to begin with. At the same time in Notra Damn, three stone gargoyles and a bellringer are coughing up smoke and water.

AJ: *sighs* While you're at it, please check out The Path of Chaos where you cna find out all the cool info on my characters and a timeline of the stories

6) Fallen Darkness

Nighttime in the city of Paris (and no, Angelique didn't set it on fire) and the Elementals are in the same hotel as the Blade Breakers. At this particular moment though, Kenny is having a nightmare that Dark Bladers had captured him while his friends had all bed defeated and their Bitpeices had been destoryed. In that single moment of terror, Kenny woke from the horrible dream with a start and catches his breath before he looks around to see that it's still night and it appears he's the only only having trouble staying asleep.

'Maybe it'll be a good idea to talk a walk to clear my mind,' he thought as he pulled back the blanket and walked out of the room as quietly as possible while amking sure he had a room key as as to get back in later.

The hotel they are in is very tall and very elegant. Kenny walked through the halls of his floor before he took the elevator down to the lobby where he found the lights had been dimmed and the fountain had been turned from high spray to gentle bubble. There in the lobby by the fountain he found Anyanka and Diana playing with appeared to be fireflies.

"Good evening Kenny," Anyanka said, the first one to spot him and Diana looked up at the mention of his name.

"Kenny, something wrong?" Diana asked.
"You could say that," Kenny said and Anyanka schuched over.
"Why don't you tell us about it?" she asked as she patted the widen area between her and Diana. Kenny didn't see what could be wrong in tis so he sat down and told them all about the dream. While Anyanka listened intentivlly, Diana listened specitivally.

"That's what you're afraid of? A little dream?" Diana asked. Kenny gasped at this and before he could speak a word in defense Diana just rolls her eyes before she got up and left the lobby.

"You know, she's a lot like Kai sometimes," Kenny said coldly.
"No, she's more like you," Anyanka said.
"Excuse me? I'm not cold like that," Kenny said.
"I know, but you are both concerned for your teams. Diana feels that your dream is a bad omen and doesn't want to believe that something bad will happen to you five," Anyanka said as she gently wrapped her arms around Kenny.

"Why is she so worried about us?"
"Because, believe it or not, you five are the guardians of this realm," Anyaka whispered his Kenn's ear and he looked up at her confussed.

"Gaurdians?" he asked and she nodded and a comforting smile.
"You five were chossen to stand against the Dark Bladers and other like them who seek to do wrong to this world. You five are strong as a team and you must remember this," Anyanka said. Kenny frowned a bit at this as he let these words sink back in before he turne his mind back to the fireflies in the room. Anyanka then smiled and motioned her hand as if conducting music and the fireflies moved together to create all sorts of paterns to amuse Kenny.

Meanwhile, Diana had been hanging out in the shadows listening to the whole pep-talk session. She then smiled as she let Anaynka's word sink into her own heart and she left to head back to bed.

Unbenost to all of them, the Dark Bladers' latest plan was falling into place...

* * *

The next day, Kai and Angelique vanish to Bacus (Greek God of Wine) knows where while everyone else heads out for a day of sight seeing.

"Hey, do you think we can swing by the Paris Opra House?" Angelina asked all of a sudden.
"Huh? Why would you want to do that?" Tyson asked.
"Becuase she's a big Phantom of the Opra fan," Diana said with a heavy sigh and Angelina threw her sister a glare.

"Hey, it's a healthy obession and I can see why she likes it," Anyanka said.
"Oh? And why's that?" Diana asked.
"Colm Wilkinson," Anyanka and Angelina both said with heavy sighs and hearts in their eyes as the boys looked on with sweat drops.

"Down girls. Wrong realm, remember?" Diana stated and the two girls pouted.
"Can we go to the Eifle Tower at least?" Angelina aske, still pouting.
"Sure, it's the next stop actually," Tyson said. Angelina gave out a cry for joy and the group headed over to the Eifle Tower where the Dark Bladers waited as paitently as they could for them.

Angelina was estactic about being at the fabeled Eifle Tower at last.
"You mean to tell me that with all your travels this is the first time you've been to the Eifle Tower?" Max exclaimed and Angelina merely nodded with a light blush on her face.

"Well then let's nake the most of it, let's go to the top of the tower," Tyson said. Angelina nodded and they all got on the elevator as Kenny began to get the hibi jibies from the nightmare he earlier. While Diana, Anyanka, Ray and Max get off on one floor Angelina, Tyson and Kenny went all the way to the top observation deck. The moment the elevator doors open, the three were awed by the awesome veiw of Paris.

"Awwww," Angelina said and the boys looked at her with raised eyebrows.
Not that kind of aw the other kind of awe!
"Oooooooo!" Angelina gasped.
That's better. ^_^

"Wow! This is amazing!" Angelina gasped as she looked out at the landscape before her as Tyson nodded in agreement. As Kenny walked up beside Angelina and joined in the awe fest, he was begining to feel a bit easier as if he had nothing to fear...boy was he wrong for just then a werewolf appeared on the window of the observation floor. Kenny gasped in shock as Tyson and Angelina got ready to fight just as it vanished.

"Huh? Where'd it go?" Tyson asked.
"Right behind you," a voice said and the three turned to see the Dark Bladers Sanguanex, Zomb,
Cenotaph and Lupenex.

"What's wrong? Cassandra borke a nail and couldn't come out to play?" Angelina asked sarcastically.

"No, I'm right here," said a female voice and the four men parted to reveal Cassandra standing behind them. The moment she is visible, Angelina curses under her breath while Tyson and Kenny look on confussed.

"Angel, who is this lady?" Tyson asked.
"Cassandra Rose. She's sidded with the Dark Bladers and wants to hurt Angelique," Angelina said.
"That's right my dear, but the target for the moment isn't you. It's him," Cassandra said and pointed at a very confussed Tyson who is then challened by Sanguanex for his Bitpeice. Before Angelina could protest, Tyson accepted the challenge.

"I'm with you Tyson, if you want," Angelina said, offering her assitance.
"No," Cassandra said and in the blink of an eye she was right in front of Angelina, "You're to stay out of this one. You're turn will come soon enough." Angelina gulped and Cassadra smiled in amusement at this before she gave a gesture to continue and the battle began.

Angelina can only stand by and watch with Kenny as the combined forces of the four Dark Bladers beat down Tyson's Dragoon before Max and Ray jump into the fight with their Bitbeasts to help Tyson in the nick of time. Anyanka and Diana are about to do the same when Cassanra grabs Angelina by the throat.

"Make one move to help them and she's an new brand of paint," Cassandra hissed as she glared at the two sisters.

"Anyanka?" Diana asked through gritted teeth, really wanting to hurt Cassandra at this point.
"Hold down sis, we can't risk Angelina's life at this point," Anyanka said. Diana sighed heavily and tried to relax and Cassandra grinned in triumph.

* * *

Meanwhile, not to far away. Angelique is helping Kai to perfect some new and more powerful moves.
"Perfect," Kai said at one point, pleased with the progress he had made in the lasy hour that would normally take one months.

"Yes grasshopper, you have come very far in your training. But now you must help your friends," Angelique said, imitating a sensei from an old Chinese Kung Fu movies she had seen last night.

"Huh?"
"You're team is in trouble in the nation's tower," Angelique said and pointed behind him. Kai looked and saw the fmailar lights of a Beyblade battle going on.

"Great, just great," Kai muttered as he lead the way, runing to the tower as fast as they could.

* * *

Back in the observation desk, things don't look so good. Cassandra still has her hand on Angelina's neck and the boys are getting beaten pretty badly. That's when Kai comes in at the nick of time (of course) and evens the scales of power between the two teams. At the same time, Angelique joined Anyanka and Diana as she looked at Cassandra and Angelina.

"Lemme guess, do as I say or the girl dies," Angelique said.
"Something like that," Cassandra said.
"I see. I'll just be over here if you need me," Angelique said, walked over by the window, sat dowm in Indian Style and rested her head against the wall as she closed her eyes.

"Eh? What do you think you're doing?" Cassandra demaned, letting go of Angelina to hold both fists at her sides as she yelled at Angelique.

"Taking a nap, I stayed up late last night," Angelique said and Cassandra face faulted.
"This...is the mighty...Angelique?" Cassandra asked between cringes as Angelina looked on with worry and Diana & Anyanka looked on with sweat drops.

At that same moment, thr Blader Breakers defeat the Dark Bladers with the power of teamwork and fast thinking. Defeated, the Dark Bladers recount the tales of being defeated by the best bladers of Europe and wanting revenge on them by controlling all the Bitbeasts in the world. On the night of this vow, there was a thunder storm and when they were hit by a giant bolt of lighting they were given their new Bitpeices, Bitbeasts and powers...

"Geeze, don't any of you people get your Bitpeices normal around here?" Angelique asked and the Dark Bladers look as if they had tripped on something.

"What did you just say?" Sanguanex yelled at Angelique, his mouth growing over sized to yell better at her.

"Oh come on, 'a giant bolt of lighting struck us and we got our evil Bitpeices'. That's just as bad as those three kids who got their Bitpeices from the marine life of their island," Angelique said ad turned to Cassandra, "and I bet you got yours in some way that's just as weird."

"No I didn't. Mine was given to me by the one who awaken me," Cassandra yelled.
"Oh? And just would that be? You're mothr?" Angelique asked with a smirk and Angelina stepped away from the fuming Cassandra as slowly as possible, so as not to attract her attention.

"No it wasn't! It was a man in the darkness!" Cassandra yelled and Angelique's eyes widen in shock.

"Cassandra, you have to help us then," Tomb said and she turned to thr Dark Bladers with the most ice cold look she had ever given them.
"Cassandra?" Lupenex asked. She narrowed her eyes at them before she simply turned on her heel and walked away. The Dark Bladers looked on in shock before they too left, vowing revenge on the Blade Breakers.

"Woah, that Cassandra is way uncool, abandonign her team like that," Tyson said.
"I have to agree with you on that," said a new voice and everyone looked to see a kid with green hair and dressed as if he's ready to fly a plane. Let's call him Orville for the moment, k? :D

"I was watching you back there, you all did pretty good for amatures," Oville said.
"What did you say?" Tyson exclaimed angrily only to have Orville smile back at him before saying something that really confussed Tyson then Orville left while saying something to the effect they'll see each other again.

"That is one weird little dude," Angelina said and Tyson nodded in agreement.
"And what was that 'we'll meet again' stuff? It makes him sound as if *he's* the enemy," Diana said and Angelina shruged.

Before long, both teams leave the Eifle Tower and began to head out for more sight seeing. As they walk away from the tower, Angelina had this look of deep thought on her face.

"Something wrong?" Anyanka asked, the first one to notice this. Everyone stopped walking and looked up.

"I was just thinking...maybe we should train the Dark Bladers," Angelina said.
"Are you crazt?" Diana exclaimed.
"Of course not. I just think the Dark Bladers would benefit from some *proper* training," Angelina said.
"She has a point, it seems as if the Dark Bladers have been ill trained," Kenny said.
"Yeah, but what do you think they'll do with our training?" Diana asked.
"...thank us?" Angelina asked, innocently enough.
"Argh! I've had enough, I want no part in this," Diana growled, threw her hands up in the air and stormed off while Angelina looked on confussed.

"Was it something I said?" she asked and everyone face faulted as Angelina looked on with question marks by her head.

* * *

Meanwhile, Cassandra watched this whole sceen from a baseball sized veiwing crystal orb which hovered over the palm of her hand. As she watched everyone walk off to the nearest restraunt for lunch, Cassandra smirked in amusement at Angelina.

"Cocky yet cute. It's hard to believe that something like Angelique ever came from her," Cassandra mused aloud as the shadows grow around her to take human form once more.

"Yet it's true. Angelique is her darkside come to life and thusly she has no right being one of the Four Sisters," the form said and Cassandra merely nodded in agreement.

'Watch out Angelina, I have plans for you,' Cassandra thought as a smile graced her blood red lips. The shadow figure frowned at this thought, seeing that a unexpected twist had been added to its plan.

'I'll have to be more careful or else I'll losse this one as well,' the figure thought to itself before fadding back into the shadows of the room.

* * *

Later at the room, Angelique was in out on the balcony of her room staring off into the distance in thought when Anyanka came into the room.

"Hello?" Anyanka called out.
"Hi!" Angelique called out in her cute voice and grimaced at the habit she had picked up from Angelina.

"Hey, what are you doing out here?" Anyanka asked.
"Just thinking," Angelique said monotonely.
"There seems to be a lot of that going on today. What's on your mind?" Anyanka asked.
"That girl, Cassandra...I think there's..." Angelique said, for once in her life not of what to say or how to say what wanted to say.

"Yes?" Anyanka asked and Angelique took a deep breath to sort her thoughts.
"I believe Darkness has a hold of her," Angelique said and Anynaka looked as if she had been hit by a ton of proverbial bricks.

"What makes you say that?"
"Because she said a 'dark stranger' gave her the Bitpeice she has now...and her powers are very dark aura to them...yet..." Angelique said, trailing off once more to thought.

"Yet what?"
"There's something else to her...something similar to us. I think it's time to gather everyone and talk about The Word," Angelique said.

"You are about this?" Anyanka asked and Angelique nodded.
