Chapter 12 - Fight
(Takao)
Blades crashed against each other in a fury of sparks, trading hits and chasing each other.
We were loosing.
Well, four bit beasts against four super powered ones, what do you think?
Each blade attacked separately, it was a one on one yet we were still being beaten...badly.
I didn't think we'd have managed without Dizzi to guide us.
"Don't attack straight on, swerve! Swerve!" Dizzi was making sarcastic little comments and screaming order at us like a slave driver.
"Takao, you need Max too help you with Ian, pin him down between you!"
"Okay, okay, keep your keyboard on," I said.
I followed Dizzi's instructions. My blue blade and Maxi's green one danced around Ian's blade, limiting his freedom and when Spencer tried to help him out Rei or Kai got stopped him from interfering.
Between us, we pinned him down and knocked him out. Not even his precious siren could save him. Yeah, it felt good and the look on Ian's face was hilarious!
"Got him!" Max whooped.
"Now go for Spencer!" Dizzi screeched, I thought she was going to overload or something if Kenny didn't try to calm her down soon.
"I'm on it!" I yelled.
"Have Max and Rei form a shield around you, Kai should keep Tala busy," Dizzi instructed.
I must admit, it looked pretty cool having two blades spin around Dragoon deflecting any attacks. They parted as I homed in on Spencer's blade. They clashed, Max and Rei came in to attack the left and right while I hit Spencer's blade head on.
I was surprised how easy a little strategy made things. For a first team battle, we were doing pretty well. The tables had completely turned and now we had the upper hand.
Yeah, we rock!
We were all so absorbed in fighting and winning that we were working together, actually working together! I think that was what gave us the advantage. The Demolition Boys attacked on their own but we fought as a team.
Soon it was just Tala left against all four of us.
"Angelo!" He yelled, the fire in his eyes said that he was going to fight to the bitter end.
"Dragoon!" I yelled.
"Draciel!"
"Drigger!"
"Dranzer!"
Our bit beasts shot into the sky in colours of blue, purple, green and red. The were just beams of light until the entwined themselves into a single, blazing beam of light, aiming straight for the core of Tala's white blade.
Surprise was etched onto Tala's face, even I was surprised to see them act like that.
I think they were trying to show us something. Bit beasts can be much smarter than humans, just look at Dizzi. I think they were trying to show us that we were supposed to be one by entwining themselves together into one single attack. One single team.
I couldn't have been more proud. We fought as a team and won as a team as the last blade flipped into the air and fell to the floor.
Yep, the Bladebreakers were back.
(Kenny)
"You loose," Rei smiled, flashing his feline fangs. It felt good to see that smile again. It felt good to be a team again.
"You were lucky," Tala said stubbornly.
"Jeez, Tala, open your eyes!" Takao cried, even I was getting tired of Tala's arrogant attitude. "Don't you see what Voltaire is doing? He's just using you; you're all puppets and puppets don't have any power at all."
"So what?" Tala shrugged. "We don't have anything else. Who cares about whether Voltaire is evil or not?"
"Some people will never learn," Max shook his head sadly.
"Whatever," "Look, our bit beasts are still intact and we'll be back to fight you,"
"Then we'll beat you again! We'll keep on beating you!" Takao yelled defiantly.
"Tala, what happened to Wolberg?" I asked, knowing that it would strike a cord with al of them.
"Wolberg?" Tala repeated the name as if he had forgotten the name of his precious bit beast.
"You didn't just abandon it, did you?" I guessed and I was right.
"Wolberg was weak," Tala said.
"You don't mean that," Rei said stubbornly.
"I once thought Dranzer was weak but I was wrong," Kai said, recalling that fateful time in Russia when he had betrayed us. "That was probably the biggest mistake of my life, giving Dranzer up. It's not Dranzer who was weak it was me and I'm lucky to have my bit beast back."
"Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong," Spencer, who had not said a word since their defeat, said enigmatically.
"So what will you do?" Max asked.
"That's for us to decide," Ian said hotly.
Knowing there was nothing more to say I let them go and they walked away, disappearing into the distance.
Was I worried they would be back? We hadn't destroyed their bit chips after all.
Yes, I was worried but I knew that we could take them on again as long as we stayed as a team. Plus, I had a feeling we had changed some of the ways the Demolition Boys thought.

The sea was almost black at night, the town lights made the waves glitter and sparkle beautifully as four lost boys gazed out at the serene sea and matching sky.
"Tala, are you sure about this?" Bryan asked.
Tala smiled faintly, never taking his eyes off of the glittering sea. "Positive, you?"
"If you're sure then I'm sure," Bryan nodded.
"Good," Tala dropped a white blade into a tiny metal tin."
"Byebye, bit beasts," Spencer said solemnly and threw in his red blade.
The others followed suit. The tine lid was closed and chains securely wrapped around the tiny tin.
Tala strode to the head of the group with the tin in hand. He took a short run and lobbed the tin as far as he could throw it.
They watched it hit the water with a splash and slowly sink to the bottom of the sea
"The world's just not ready for them," Bryan murmured. "Do you think someone will find them in a hundred years and use them?"
"Power corrupts everything it's been doing so throughout all of history," Spencer said philosophically, "if someone were to find them maybe they would use it for the same purposes as Voltaire."
Ian tore his eyes away from the rippling water to snap, "who cares about the freaking world? If they mess it up it's their problem, I won't be here in a hundred years time."
"Quit your yapping everyone!" Tala ordered. "Let's just get back our bit beasts."
The Demolition Boys left the docks with their leader while the country slept; unaware of what would have happened if they had not made that decision.
In a way they were heroes, forgotten heroes no one knew or cared to remember but they did not really care. What was important was the present and they had decided to live for it and that was all that mattered.
************* Mizu_Tenshi: Yes, I left a lot of loose ends but if I didn't finish it now it never would have gotten finished. Well, sorry about the wait. Hope to see you whenever I next decide to write something, which will probably be soon. Sora! Roll call!
