How Does He Live Like That? 19

Disclaimer- Hiya ladies and gentlemen and...um...well...others. If you don't already know, Beyblade is not mine and I'll never own it. There are already way too many people out there that want it. :(

Alright, peeps, here's another addition of the 'words of wisdom':

He who enjoys school should go see the psychiatrist. (No offense, but it's just not natural.)

I'M SO SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DIDN'T MEAN TO KEEP YOU ALL WAITING LIKE THIS! I JUST HAD A hUgE WRITER'S BLOCK AND DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO CONTINUE! I PROMISE I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU SOMEHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Note: And also, I would like to tell you that this is probably going to be the last chapter (excluding the Epilogue).]

It was huge. All of the walls seemed (or did) to stretch on forever. There were ever so many twists and turns so that one could (and often did) easily get trapped in for all eternity. There were also doors of all shapes and sixes. There were doors that let to rooms. There were doors that led to doors. There were rooms that led to doors and rooms that led to other rooms. All of this, this twisted oddity made up the world of the bit- beasts. Finding a small cauldron would be next to impossible.



Suddenly, a loud excited yell rang through the strange dimension, followed by a small yellow, green and orange blur, zooming down a hall.

(A/N Readers: O_O * -_- * O_O;;)

The blur screeched to a halt, revealing that it was just Max, waited for his companions to catch up. Soon, a couple of boys came into view, not looking extremely thrilled. Seeing that his friends were in sight, the blond haired boy started running again.

"C'mon guys! We'll never get anyway if we don't hurry!" he yelled back at his friends.

"But Max! You'll never find the cauldron if you just keep running, either!" called Kenny. Max slowed down to a stop at his words.

"Oh, all right." He sighed, "So, guys, where do you think we should go next?" he asked, indicating a sea of doors. Tyson nervously glanced around.

"Um, I choose," he muttered as he started pointing around randomly, "um, that one!" he announced, his finger pointing towards a fairly large door with a bat engraved in it.

"That's a weird looking door," Ray commented, getting strange feeling from it. Max stepped forward and slowly turned the doorknob and tugged at it. The heavy door slowly creaked open a crack. Kai pressed his ear against it and frowned.

"What do you hear?" asked Ray.

"It-it sounds like wings rustling. And I think I hear screeching. And--- ACK!" he yelled, jumping aside as the door was knocked down by a wave of black, screeching bats.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BATS!!!!!!!!!!!" screeching Kenny as he ran as fast as his short legs could carry him. (Which wasn't very fast, mid you.) After the bats and cleared away, the rest of the BladeBreakers nervously peeked inside the room.

The room was very dark and was all bare except for a coffin-type thing leaning against one of the walls. "I'm getting a bad feeling here..." Kai whispered.

"Well, I guess there's nothing else in here so I think that we might as well get out." Said Tyson, turning around and proceeding to walk calmly out of the room. Suddenly a shuffling inside the coffin made him stop dead in his tracks. Then, he rotated himself around, slowly and stiffly, his head turned towards the coffin.

"Did you do that, Max?" he asked. Max shook his head fearfully.

"No, did you?" he asked.

"No." came the reply. "Was it you, Ray?" asked Tyson, turning to his friend and finding that he wasn't there. Kai was also gone too. "Ray?" he asked, looking around quickly. Then another noise, more specifically a groan, came from within the coffin. Then the lid started sliding off and a pair of hands wrapped in long snake like bandages reached out and grabbed the edges. Another muffled cry escaped the coffin.

Max's eyes nearly bulged out of his head. "Something tells me that it time that we should run." He whispered. Tyson nodded dumbly.

"Yeah, me too." He muttered. "On the count of three?" he asked. Max nodded in approval. Just then, coffin gave a suddenly lurch and toppled over to the side.

"THREE!" shrieked Max and Tyson as they took off. But as soon as they neared the door, they were tripped over by a large amount of bandages. The duo were forced to watch in horror as something crawled out of the coffin and tried to stand up.

"Mmmphft!" it said, flailing its arms around. Tyson and Max both exchanged puzzled glances.

"Excuse me? I beg your pardon?" asked Max.

"Mmmphft!" it cried again. Then, much to Tyson and Max's puzzlement, it started thrashing around, as if it were being bound to something. Then it reached up and pulled on the bandage that was wrapped around its mouth.

"Help!" it cried again. "I can't get these bandages off!" it yelled. Then Tyson realized that the voice sounded oddly familiar...

(A/N Guess who? I dare you! *giggles insanely*)

"RAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!" exclaimed Max, rushing over to his friend who was a little tied up at the moment.

"What happened?" Tyson blurted out, rather bluntly, after recovering from his shock.

"I don't really know. One moment I was just standing right beside you then I was being dragged inside the coffin in the next." Said Ray, looking more confused than you are. Suddenly, before the confused BladeBreakers could ponder this little mystery any more, their thoughts were interrupted by a loud, high pitched,

"YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!" coming from the distance.

"I think that that was Kenny." Said Ray. Blinking a couple of times.

"Well, I think that we should go look for him. We can't just leave him." Said Max.

"Yeah, I guess so. Well, let's go." Said Tyson as the three of them left the creepy room; oblivious to the fact that a deranged shadow was following them out.

~Who Knows Where~

"AaAaAaAaAaAhHhHhHhHhHhH!!!!!!!!!!!! HAUNTED BANDAGES!!!!!" cried a certain kid with over-sized glasses, a white shirt, a pair of brown shorts, a green tie and brown bangs that totally covered his eyes and happened to be named Kenny and also happened to be nicknamed "The Chief".

(A/N I guess I'm a little too obvious, ne?)

A long white bandage was suspended from the ceiling. It wasn't exactly haunted but a small draft had made it move around a bit.

Kenny sighed in relief. "It's just a piece of cloth." He reassured himself.

"What's just a piece of cloth?" said a voice coming from somewhere behind him.

"GAH!" screeched Kenny as he shot up like a bullet and smashed into the ceiling. Then he landed flat on his face. "Argh, I need a vacation." He winced, rubbing his head.

"A little on the paranoid side, are we?" asked the voice again. This time Kenny looked up and saw that it belonged to his former team captain. (A/N Kai was their leader before the switch.)

"Thank goodness, it's just you!" he cried, flinging his arms around a thoroughly shocked Kai's legs.

"Aw, how cute." Came yet another mysterious voice from behind them. "A reunion." Kai spun around.

"Who's there?" he shouted angrily into the darkness. Suddenly, thousands of strange colored lights started to materialize. Then they started to take the shapes of various creatures.

A light appeared and slowly shaped itself into a large white eagle.

(A/N ^_^ That's Draller, my own Bit Beast!)

Another one appeared and became a large purple wolf. A green light took the form of a rabbit. Soon, a whole army of Bit Beasts emerged before them.

"What are you two humans doing in our dimension?" asked the white eagle, stepping forward aggressively.

"You know very well that you are not allowed to cross over into our world!" exclaimed a Bit Beast. Kenny squealed and ran behind Kai.

"We didn't mean to intrude." Squeaked the computer freak. "We were accidentally brought here because of a error in one of the spells preformed here."

"And besides," added Kai, "we just can't wait to get out of here." The Bit Beasts talked among themselves for a while.

"There wasn't any spell preformed here for about a whole year!" concluded a fox. "At least not that we know of."

"Which makes us believe that you aren't being entirely truthful." Said a large beaver.

"Including that fact that you humans were never wholly trusted by our kind." Added the eagle. "So, we are forced to get rid of you." She decided as the rest of the Bit Beasts closed in on them. Kenny was trembling in terror as the restless Bit Beasts preparing to attack.

"Attack!" shouted an orange pigeon Bit beast as dozens of attacks were hurtled towards the unfortunate humans. Kai pushed the Chief and himself onto the ground as a large amount very dangerous attacks zinged over their heads. Kenny whimpered.

"What will we do now?" he asked.

"We'll have to run." Replied Kai.

"What?! Are you crazy?" yelled Kenny over sound of exploding furniture.

"Got a better idea?" shot Kai. Then, seizing Kenny by the scruff of his neck, he hoisted him up and dashed down the hall. They ran aimlessly through the twisted hallways as everything behind them either exploded or erupted in flames. Kai rounded another corner and groaned in dismay.

It was a dead end.

He turned back to see the triumphant looks on the circle of Bit Beasts' faces.

"Nice knowing you, Kai." Murmured Kenny as the leader of the Bit Beasts (A/N Man, I'm using that word way too often, but I don't know what else to call them.) prepared for a final attack. A white ball of energy appeared, hovering about his hand. Kai pushed Kenny behind him. As the BladeBreaker's former leader, he felt that he should protect them to the very end.

The ball of energy grew bigger and bigger, then suddenly, it shot forward without warning. Kai and Kenny both braced themselves for the attack.

But then, the wall on their right blew up rather unexpectedly and a slate- haired boy with blue triangles on his face ran right through it and knocked Kai and the Chief down, narrowly avoiding the attack.

Perhaps it was because that all of this happened so abruptly, the bit- beasts didn't attack right away. They all gaped blankly at the three boys lying on the ground.

"Kai! Tyson! Kenny!" called a voice as two more boys ran through the hole in the wall, leaving the poor Bit Beasts more confused than ever. One of them decided to attack them anyway but then a familiar yell stop him stop in his tracks.

"Wait! Don't hurt them!" came a voice from above them.

"Dragoon?" asked Tyson, looking up at the ceiling. Sure enough, the large blue dragon sailed through the roof, showering everyone with splinters of wood.

"What is the meaning of this?" demanded Draller, the eagle Bit Beast.

"I'll explain everything later. Right now, we should check out all of the damage you guys did." He replied as he ushered his fellow bit-beasts away.

After everyone else had left. Kai looked uncertainly at Tyson.

"Well, um, Tyson. I want to, er, say thanks for helping us out back there." He said. Tyson gave a quick nod. Then Kai held out his hand. "So, put 'er there, bud." Tyson's eyes widened a little, debating whether the grasp his 'friend's' hand or not. Then, he turned swiftly away and started walking away, his scarf swaying from side to side with each step he took.

Kai stood there, staring after him in shock, his hand still outstretched. Then he narrowed his eyes and withdrew his hand.

'Well, at least I made an attempt.' He thought angrily.

"FINE! BE THAT WAY!" he yelled after him, and turned and started to stomp away in the opposite direction.

But then, before he had gone about five steps, a blinding white light surrounded him and Tyson, causing them to gasp in surprise. After the light had cleared away, Kai found himself facing the other side of the hall.

"Now what's going on?" he asked himself. 'Wait a moment.' He thought. 'My voice sounds different. I sound, I sound like myself again!' Then he looked down at the rest of his body and was delighted to find that he was looking exactly how he had been two nights before. Then he glanced.back across the room and saw that Tyson was also back to normal. He caught his gaze and shrugged.

"Well, I guess that we're back."
