The Last Goodbye

Chapter 9

~~~**Bladebreakers**~~~

The Bladebreakers have searched the streets of China for days now, but they still didn't have any info on Ray. Kai was restless for some reason, then one day, when they were searching for Ray again, they bumped into Kevin.

"Kevin! Listen, Ray's gone missing, do you know where he is?" Tyson asked.

"Oh Ray? Yea, we've seen him a couple of nights ago." Answered Kevin, sounding somewhat tired at the mentioning of Ray.

"Where is he then?!" Kai asked.

"Somewhere." Kevin replied, turning away.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Kai asked angrily. "Every time we ask you a question, you give us a useless reply!"

Kevin growled, and tried to walk past them, when Kai blocked his path. He tried to walk around them, but Kai blocked him again.

"What do you want?! That's all I know about Ray!" Kevin said.

"Where did he go?!" Kai questioned again.

"Why don't you ask Lee yourself?! We live just a few blocks from here." With that, Kevin sprinted away from them before Kai could do anything else.

"Well, at least we got somewhere." Max said after a while.

"What are we waiting for guys?" Tyson asked and started running.

After a while, they found Lee, but when they asked him about where Ray is, he just turned around so they couldn't see his face and clinched his fists tightly.

"Something up with you guys and Ray." Kenny observed. "What's wrong? Kevin acted weird too, did you guys have a fight or something?"

"Just leave me alone ok?!" Lee asked. "He's not my problem, so why would I know where he is?"

"What do you mean?! You two are suppose to be best buddies!" Max cried. "What's going on here? Everything's so mixed up! Nothing makes sense anymore!"

Lee glanced at them, and gritted his teeth. "Why don't you ask Ray yourself? It's not like I care anymore. He's always so selfish and uncaring."

"Well we would like to ask him, but we don't know where he is right now." Tyson said.

"Didn't he go back to you guys?" Lee asked, surprised.

"What? He never came back!" Kenny said.

"That's weird." Lee murmured.

"What happened between you two anyways?" Max asked.

Lee sighed, it was confusing for himself too, but he tried his best to explain what happened last night, expect the part where he punched Ray.

"He must have tried to find Mariah by himself! Why didn't you go with him or at least try to find help Lee?" Tyson asked.

So in the end, Lee blurted out ever detail, and the Bladebreakers stood shocked at what he said.

"So.you like Mariah too." Kai said quietly after.

The others turned to look at him.

"What do you mean Kai?" Max asked.

"Yea, isn't Mariah going to get married to Ray?" Tyson said.

"Don't you see? Our little friend here is jealous, that's why he started the fight with Ray." Kai sneered.

"He should have been there for her, it's not fair, she never notices me, only Ray." Lee was getting angrier by the second. "No matter what we do, it's always "Look at what Ray did!" but never anything about me. Never."

"Some kind of excuse." Kai said coldly. "Just because Mariah didn't like you, you're mad at Ray, for you are jealous, just like I said."

Lee looked down at his foot. He knew what Kai said was true, he was the selfish one. While Mariah needed him the most, he was busy thinking about how he could make Ray pay.for asking Mariah to marry him? 'What kind of friend am I?'

"Are you going to help us or not?" Kai asked.

Lee nodded. "Last night, I remember he was heading north from my house.maybe we could find him there."

"No need."

They looked past Lee to see Ray standing there, looking kind of dazed.

"Ray!" Tyson shouted as he ran towards him and capturing him in a hug. "Where were you buddy? We were looking all over for you!"

"We need to go to Biovolt." Ray said, after Tyson let go.

"Huh? But why?" Max asked.

"I've met one of the Death Hunters.Selina. She said that if I want Mariah and the other bitbeasts back, we have to battle them for the last time at Biovolt." Ray explained.

"They're holding her hostage.probably for if they lose, they can use her against us." Kai said.

The others nodded, while they cranked they're brain to see if they could possible do something about it.

~~~**Back At Russia With The Death Hunters**~~~

After they're jet plane landed, they reported back to Boris with Mariah tied up in chains. Thorn made sure that they weren't too tight before they brought her to Boris.

The Death Hunters was very quite at Biovolt, Mariah noticed this the time they went in. All cold and untamed again. But they let Mariah wonder around untied in they're room at night. One night, when Mariah was sleeping in Luna's room, she was woken up by a small squeak. Mariah opened her eyes tiredly, and saw that the door wasn't closed all the way, and stood up while rubbing her eyes. Then she noticed that Luna wasn't in her bed, so she slowly opened the door, and got a scare when it squeaked and stopped dead in her tracks, hoping nobody heard. When it was quiet all over again, Mariah crept out and saw Luna's yellow hair disappearing behind a corner. She knew that this was dangerous, but still she followed Luna, she was getting tired of staying in rooms anyways. 'Where is she going in the middle of the night?' Mariah asked herself.

Luna turned several more turns, then stopped at what seems to be a very large steel cage, looked both ways and took out a small iron key then opened the door. After she went in, Mariah waited after she closed the door again, and tried to see what was happening inside by a small hole in the door, and was surprised to see some very tattered looking Demolition Boys. They stared at Luna when she went in, but smiled as she took a small package of food and a bottle of water.

"Sorry guys, but this is the best that I could get." Luna said.

The Demolition Boys didn't say anything but started eating the food, except Tala. Mariah could see Luna shiver when she looked at Tala. But she walked over and sat down beside him.

"Hey, aren't you hungry?" She asked quietly. Even though it was dark, she could see that Luna was blushing.

Mariah smiled, it used to be like that too with herself and Ray.

Tala shook his head and forced a smile.

Ian motioned for Tala to come over, while the other Demolition Boys did so too.

Luna was going to leave, but Spencer told her to stay a while longer, so she sat down again. When Tala came over, the remaining Demolition Boys all folded they're arms together.

"What?!" Tala asked annoyed.

"Tell her!" Ian hissed.

"Tell her what?!" Tala asked, even though he already knew what they were going to say.

"You like her don't you? Well stop ignoring her and start talking or do something!" The others cut in.

"What are you talking about?" Tala asked.

"Look, I have no idea about what 'romance' or 'love' or whatever that stuff is called, but we all know you like her." Bryan said.

"You guys are crazy." Tala replied and went back to his usual stop.

The others shook they're heads as Luna stood up and started to open the door again. By then, Mariah was already in her room and thought things over. 'So, looks like Luna was wrong about Tala, he likes her after all.'
