Chapter Fifteen: Beast Battles

Last Time:

      "Welcome to the dark tower of Biovault," Tala said, a shiver passed over them all at those words.

      "Now it truly begins," Tenshi whispered softly, Kenny could only hope that it wasn't the end.

Now to our Scheduled story:

      The world seemed to blur as they ran; they ran through the many rows of boxes. Tenshi could feel the dampness of the air in his wings, his golden eyes almost seemed to glow in the darkness of the towers basement level.

      "How many levels does the tower have?" Kenny asked the pointy haired ex-biovault member, Tala looked back at them thoughtful from where he was leading them.

      "Ten levels that anyone can get to, the rest of the tower are labs that you need special passes to get in, and that's a lot of levels... thankfully the tower has elevators and stairways," Tala said, at that answered how they would be moving around the tower.

      It was at that moment that the stairs came into view, they were dimly lit but they looked easy enough to use.

      Quickly they ran up the stairs, the dark recesses of the stairway he ignored... he had to ignore it or he would have to acknowledge the evil radiating from the walls... no the whole building.

      In what seemed like eternity to the small group of six (more like ten minutes); they finally came to the end of the staircase which was at a dark metal door.

      "When we go through the door, there is no going back... there is also a good chance we won't survive this," Tenshi whispered to his friends, they share nervous looks but no one back to leave.

      "Were all committed Tenshi, its all or nothing," Kai said and squeezed the angelic beings hand, Tenshi smiled at his koi and his eyes glimmered as everyone in the group nodded in agreement.

      "Then lets do it," Tenshi said, with that in mind they pushed the door opened... it swung open to the unknown.

      ((I could end here and be a stinker, but I'll continue and be nice))

      The first thing they became aware of after the door opened, was a profound silence. It seemed to fill everything, yet... it chilled them.

      They turned to Tala and saw that he was frowning, this couldn't be good.

      "It shouldn't be this quiet, all biovaults little lackeys should be here training," Tala said, there eyes widened and stared around.

      The six foud themselves in a huge room with metal walls, ceiling and floor. There were a few pieces of furniture around the edges, against a wall was a weapon rack filled with weapons.

      They could see the most basic weapons from slingshot and up, all the to high tech weapons that were all in working order... even after the virus.

      Silently the six walked across the room, they could only head for the door to the room since there were no one to fight here.

      "This is creepy," Max said, the others could only agree.

      Suddenly the room rumbled and shook slightly, startled they could only look up to the rooms high ceiling and gasp. As they watched a huge part of the ceiling rolled away, darkness could be seen only from the place opened.

      "This can't be good," Kenny said hugging his laptop to his chest, and it wasn't good. Seconds later something huge slipped out of the whole in the ceiling and slammed onto the floor; with a yelp the six lost there balance and fell to their buts. That is almost everyone, Tenshi had managed not to loose his balance by using his wings to slightly float above the ground.

      "What the hell," Ray swore ion shock, and in shock they were. For the being that had draped down was a bitbeast, one with a body... and worst of all it looked like Driger... almost an exact copy.

      This was Cyber Driger, in the original timeline the bladebreakers would of met and defeated the creature. But because of the virus they had never met this creature, now they would and hopefully they would have enough power to defeat this bitbeast with a body.

      Ray felt rage and his vision all most seemed to go red, this was an outrage... Driger was original. This creature wasn't something that should exist, he pulled out his beyblade feeling his bitbeast anger.

      "You guys head on, I'll take care of this abomination," Ray growled, they looked at him for a moment then nodded.

      "Be careful," Max said softly, Ray only smiled at the blond and nodded. He had to win, because if he didn't his friends could fail.

      "I will," he promised; with that his friends and ran to the door that went to another room.

      Ray turned to the abomination that looked like Driger.

      "Let it Rip," he cried.

***

      The stairs seemed endless to the blond member of the now smaller group; he was extremely worried about Ray. As it is they had already gone up at least three staircases, he knew that the reason they hadn't gone onto another floor was because what they were bypassing wee in fact huge labs.

      But the demon wouldn't be in them; he looked at Tenshi who had a serious look on his face... Max had a feeling that his once human friend could feel the demon.

      Finally they came upon another level; they had to look for another staircase for this one ended here.

      They paused at the doors that led out, finally catching their breath they opened the doors and stepped inside. Right away Max saw that this was where Biovaults lackeys slept, rows upon rows of bunk beds were there.

      "Uh... hi," Max said, for they weren't alone for at least twenty people were in the room. Everyone sweatdropped, Max could only wonder how a building so terrible could have so bad security... look how far they had gotten with only running into that freaky Driger clone bit beast.

      A clammer filled the room; Max only swore as everyone cleared out and ran for other rooms, maybe he shouldn't have said anything.

      "The shit just hit the fan," Kai said, at that moment they realized why everyone had left the room as a huge thump sent them to the floor even Tenshi this time.

      "Copyright infrigement," Kenny shouted pointing, everyone in the room even the bit beast that had just landed stared at the computer nerd as he said that.

      "What, he is... he's a copy and he doesn't have the originals permission," Kenny said crossing his arms, a tumbleweed went across the room as silence covered the room.

      "Kenny, I don't think the bit beast cares," Kai pointed out, Kenny gave a huff as they all turned to the Draciel wanna be... Cyber Draciel.

      "You guys go ahead, I'll meet you when I beat this copy," Max said, they all looked worried but nodded all except Kenny.

      "I'll stay here with Max, I'll meet up with you at the same time as him," Kenny said, they looked like they didn't like the idea of leaving either of them behind but they had to hurry.

      "Be careful, I don't want to meet either of you in the afterlife anytime soon," Tenshi said, they both grinned at the angelic being.

      "It's a deal," Max shouted as the remaining three ran to the next stairways, narrowing his eyes he turned to battle.

***

      Thankfully for the remaining three no more confrontations happened, they were very relieved that no more cyber versions of their bit beasts appeared.

      "You know it's weird, we should of met one of the head people by now... but so far we only met there soldiers... the whole place seems empty... too empty," Tenshi said frowning, Kai and Tala exchanged looks... this didn't sound good.

      "Were almost at the top floor, after that only the roof is left," Tala told them, they nodded.

      Then they were there; they were on the final floor. And they weren't alone, three figures waited.

      One was Voltair; Kai wanted to kill this man on sight. The second was a slightly pudgy man who had eyes that sent chills down your spine.

      The third, well the third could only be the demon.

      He was human enough, very humanoid compared to the terrible stories of what demons looked like. He stood only a bit taller then Tenshi and had deep maroon hair with blood red stripes in it; evil eyes undescribeable stared into what seemed his very soul.

      His mouth showed he had slight fangs in a blood red mouth, and he had deathly pale skin. His hands were clawed; those claws glinted red in the rooms light. He wore a crimson red shirt under a leather jacket with the kanji word hate on its breast pocket, leathery black bat wings spread from his back.

      "Welcome to your doom," Voltair sneered, the demon laughed along with the pudgy man.

      "Noche, destroy these three," the pudgy man ordered, Kai froze and pulled out his swords and his beyblade ready for battle.

      "Noche, what are you doing... I ordered you," the pudgy man snarled, then everyone gasped as red clawed hands burst through both mans chests.

      "I take orders from the king of all demons idiot, enjoy burning in hell," Noche sneered, with that the two men fell to the floor stone dead blood pooling around there bodies.

      "So you killed them," Tenshi whispered; Noche laughed darkly.

      "Of course, after all soon demons will rule all," Noche laughed, the demon snapped his blood coated fingers and two figures appeared.

      "Kuso," Kai swore, for before them were cyber versions of Dranzer and Tala's bitbest.

      "I agree," Tala said coldly also pulling out a weapon and his beyblade.

      "Kill them my pets, while I take care of the angel," Noche purred heading for the roof, Tenshi followed to the two other teens dismay.

      They had left the frying fan and went right into the fire.

      "This isn't good, not good at all," Tala said, Kai could only nod as the two bit beasts with real bodies attacked.

Next Time: Battle in the sky, the battle between Noche and Tenshi has begun. Will win; an angel or the demon... and things start to wind down in these final chapters.
