Chapter 23: Splish Splash

Author's Note: *whimpers* I'm not very good at fight scenes so bare with me. Usually I get my good friend Draco Tantian to help me out, but I can't do that at the moment….*whimpers*

Crystal jumped down from her beast Shimmer and took out her sword that immediately turned into the Lightning Strike. The rain had already soaked her hair and clothing but at the moment she didn't care. She wanted her friends back……now! She looked up and noticed that one of the muses she has never seen before. Crystal slowly scooted over to Ray, "Hey Ray, who's the bitch in the dressed outfit?"

Ray glanced at her in the corner of his eye, "Be careful what you say! She's the leader of all the muses, Calliope; she's really strong! So keep your guard up." Crystal wasn't really paying much attention to him; she scanned the line of muses until coming onto Orpheus. There was a sudden pause between the two.

She lifted her finger to point at him, "Do I know you?" A couple of vein marks popped up on Orpheus' head.

"Of course you know me you wench!!" Orpheus' statement made an annoyed face on Crystal's face. "Feh, should've know that you wouldn't remember a damn thing. That's just your personality." Orpheus said shrugging.

Now it was Crystal's turn to have vein marks pop up on her head, "Why don't you come down on the ground and say that to my face coward!!" she yelled shaking her fist at him. He let a 'Muwhhahahhahhahah!' out and looked down at Crystal with a look that was like he was superior to her. Making her even more pissed off.

"You honestly think that I would waste my time with you!?!" He said as he sank to the ground followed by Urania and Euterpe who landed on either side of him. "Now the last remaining Calains would be worth the effort." Orpheus said pointing to Kai and Damon.

"You'll have use a little more than effort!" Damon smirked, he lifted his foot and slammed it down on the floor making a crack spread through out it, once it reached Orpheus and the two muses it surrounded them and the floor collapsed.

"Idiot! We can fly!!!" Urania said as she and the others lifted from the fallen degree.

Damon smirked with confidence, "You know what power mine is?" The muses looked confused at his stupid question. He lifted up his hands and pointed to the hole in the ground, suddenly a huge gust of wind surrounded them. Damon's eyes glowed, "The power of wind is at my control!!"

Euterpe managed to get out of the gusts she landed out of it on one knee and then she looked up at Damon, "What happened? It looked like you could control Earth because of the crack you made on the floor!!" Damon laughed.

"The reason about the floor was just me slamming the floor at just the right place, to get you confused." He looked at her shocked face, "And it seemed to work well. The power of the Earth is Rose's talent…..Ha! Fooled ya!"

Urania managed to get out of her wind tunnel and headed straight for Damon, but another figure jumped in the way. Crystal slashed at her sword making a cut on Urania's shoulder, blood stained her shirt. Urania growled and made a staff appear with her magic. The two went at it, slashing at each other, blocking, anything you could think of. Crystal even yanked Urania's hair.

Meanwhile, Ray stepped forward to Euterpe who was still on the ground. Euterpe looked up at Ray, behind him stood all the bit beasts…Flamerion, Drigger, Dranzer, Dragoon, Shimmer, Tekero, and Draciel.(A/N: Whoopsie forgot about the last two.) Euterpe looked at all of them surrounding her, she felt fear crawl up her spine. "I'm sorry sister there are too many of them!!" she shouted as she teleported away.

Calliope scowled at her little sisters action, she turned to Orpheus, "Orpheus my son, if you want to see your father you need to get those two now!!!" She said pointing at Kai and Damon. Orpheus looked at the situation.

"But how mother!? There are too many of them, we can't stop them all!!" Orpheus shouted to his mother. She frowned, there was something she could do but she only would save it until she needed it. But it soon looked like she was going to need it. The rain around Orpheus began to spin around him making a typhoon, it was suffocating him and spinning him around and around and around.

"This is enough," Calliope said with a dangerous tone. She muttered something under her breath and pointing her hands towards the bit beasts. A strange green glow, shot towards them and seemed to surround them. Fortunately for Ray he had seen the attack and had dodged it. The seven bit beasts stood there not moving a muscle.

"What is this?" Tekero shouted trying so hard to move, but it wouldn't work. Ray eyes widened at the sight of all of them being frozen. He started running towards Damon and Kai who were fighting Orpheus together.

"Watch out!!! Calliope is going to attack you guys!!!" Ray managed to warn Kai, because he quickly became liquid and blended to the water on the ground. Damon on the other hand wasn't so lucky. Calliope did attack him, he tried to divert it with his power of the wind, but it seemed like it had no effect. It hit Damon with full force.

"Damn it," Damon muttered as he tried with all his might to move. Because of the wind gone, the typhoon that Kai and Damon created simply washed off Orpheus and the water fell to the ground. Calliope smirked and shot a beam similar to the one that had gotten Rose. And Damon disappeared as well.

"All that's left is Kai," Ray said quietly his voice filled with panic and shock. He looked around trying to find Kai. Suddenly some water in a puddle rose up forming a person that was soon recognized as Kai. Ray quickly ran towards him. "They got Damon, you have to be really careful now."

Kai glared at him, "I know that!! We need more help!" Ray let his hands fall to his side as he stared at the ground.

"There are no help left," he said softly and sadly. Kai clenched his fists. They looked up and saw Orpheus laughing at them.

"Once we place all the Calains in place I will become the ruler of the universe!!! I will make the Jewel of the Azcolios be my queen!!!" Orpheus said in between laughs.

Kai is angry now, "She would never be your queen!!! She hates you!!"

"I will force her to love me!" Orpheus said with a dangerous tone. Kai's eyebrow twitched with irritation and anger.

"You sick son of a…." during all the commotion, Calliope had shot another beam at this time it hit Kai making him disappear. Ray stood there shocked staring at the place where their last hope was. He looked up at Orpheus and Calliope, they were looking down at him with utmost glee…soon they disappeared also.

Ray fell on his knees and stared at the ground. A disheveled Crystal walked slowly towards him and got on her knees next to him. "What happens now?" she asked him seriously and concerned with her friend's safety. Ray shook his head with frustration.

"I don't know! I never got to read the rest of the prophecy in the book…and now they have all the Calains, Kai, and Jewel. The world, no the universe is doomed," Ray said sadly. Crystal narrowed her eyes.

"So that's it!!" Ray looked surprised at her sudden outburst. "You can't give up!!! All of our friends in there are counting on us!!!"

"Yeah Crystal's right Ray," Tyson's voice rang out. They both turned around and saw that Tyson was frozen like the other Bit beasts obviously he didn't have enough time to dodge the first attack that Calliope had sent. "Are teammates and friends are in there!! If I could still move I would've probably already be looking for them!!" Tyson's words sunk into Ray. Ray smiled and stood up, followed by Crystal. He turned to her and gave her a thumbs up.

"Let's get dangerous!!" he said imitating a corny old superhero. Crystal could help but to laugh. (Author's Note: *laughs* couldn't help it! *Dark wing duck music in background*)

"Kai! KAI!!! WAKE UP!!!" A voice called out. Kai warily opened his eyes, and found himself chained to a pole. He looked to his left and saw a female he recognized earlier, and on his right was Max. It was Max who was trying to get him up. "Good you're finally up!! I wanted to tell you before 'they' came back in here. Try to control your powers, try to suppress them in your body." His voice was filled with urgency.

Kai stared at him, "Why?"

"They're trying to use our powers to control the universe, and we have to everything we can to stop them or delay them," the woman on his left said. "By the way, I am the Calain known as Rose." Kai looked around all of the four Calains and himself were each chained to poles and all of the poles were circled around a long pedestal in the middle.

"Where's Tolaku!?" Kai said, he saw the fire Calain opposite from him, she was unconscious and he could tell that the bleeding hasn't stopped. "She'll die if we don't do something!"

"Working on it," Rose said as she looked like she was in deep concentration. "It's slow but it should help" she said finally. Kai looked around once again.

"Where's Julia?" The other three exchanged glances.

"We don't really know yet, but I'm sure they'll bring her in here soon," Damon said. After a few minutes the door opened, everyone turned to see who it was, Max having difficulty since the door was behind him. Orpheus stood in the doorway with an unconscious Julia in his arms.

"Orpheus," Kai growled with deep hatred. Orpheus ignored Kai and went straight towards the pedestal, there he set Julia gently down onto it. He brushed away a few strands away from her face and stared at her.

"It is time, for you to bring back the father I lost long ago," he said smiling with glee. He leaned down and his lips came in contact with Julia's lips. Kai was literally trying to rip the chains off about now. A mass surge of power came from the two, who were still kissing. Above them a rip in space seemed to be forming. In the distance you could see a figure walking towards them.
