Chapter something. . . . . . .evil numbers.
"It would be a waste of BOTH our times to battle every single blader on each side." Tala remarked, he gave that annoying, smug grin of his.
"So instead, how's about we pick 5 bladers from each side." He suggested.
"I want in." Brian murmured to Tala.
"We'll see, I'm definitely in." Tala told the pale youth.
"Ray, we could use him." Brian declared.
"Tyson too." Brian glared at the redhead. "Are you sure? He's only a rookie, one wrong slip and we could lose him."
"True." Tala agreed nodding his head, "But sending him in will give us an edge."
"Very well."
"With me that's three."
"Robert?"
"He's too optimistic, and weak for that matter. We need someone more stronger." Tala concluded. Brian nodded his head.
"Kai."
"I'm beginning to think you have something for the Bladebreakers, Brian." Tala remarked with a sly smile. Brian was unmoved.
"This is serious Tala." The red haired youth snorted.
"Very well, that's four."
"And me?"
"No, you failed against Ray, I won't let you put us at risk again." Brian fumed and stepped away. Tala thought for a minute, then smiled. Of course, the perfect soldier. Max was their leader, so hit him at his weak spot, and there was only one spot that was sore enough to cause defeat.
~~~~~
"You guys ready yet?!" Max called over. Tala nodded. He signaled with one finger and Ray stepped up. Max turned to Maria.
"Ready?" She nodded, fierce determination in her eyes.
"Okay, we're with you all the way!"
"Go get em'!" Kenny applauded.
"One more thing Maria." Max stopped her before she stepped up to the arena where Ray already waited.
"Yes?"
"My mom told me something, before she, well. . . . . . you know." Maria nodded.
"There's only one way that you really lose."
"What?" She whispered.
"When you do nothing." Max murmured to her. He gave a small smile. "Never give up, that's the worse thing you can do. Got it? God, I sound like a football coach." He grinned.
"Go get em'!" Kevin called out.
"Just like old times huh?" Ray asked smiling. He looked every bit the same as 5 years ago, but there was one key difference. Maria couldn't pin point it, but she knew there was something wrong. She stayed silent, and set her self for launch. Ray smiled again, that charming smirk, yet there was something wrong, it just seemed to be without heart in it. He turned to his side and prepared for a side launch.
"3! 2! 1! Let it RIP!!!!!!!!" Tyson yelled out. Both bladers let their beyblades loose, and in a minute both blades were spinning through the air. They slammed in the middle of the dish and shot off to the sides where they circled each other.
"You know Ray?" Maria declared in a whisper. "This IS like old times, but you changed. Please come back Ray!" She begged. He froze, his eyes looked normal for a second, before they became bleak and lifeless.
"But why? Being on Biovolt's side has changed me Maria. I'm stronger then ever, come over to my side. You always wanted to be the best right?"
"No Ray." She replied defiantly. "You're right, Biovolt did change you, but you're not stronger, you lost your humanity!" She screamed defiantly that last part, her beyblade, feeling her anger and burst of energy glowed a resonating pink.
"GALIX!!!!!" She yelled out, her bitbeast answered with a loud battled cry, in a flash of light the cat stood there in all it's glory. She smiled.
"Cat scratch ATTACK!!!!!" The cat gave a loud cry and her blade flashed in a bolt of light at Ray's blade. Despite the danger, Ray stood there, still smiling.
"Drigger, defense move, illusion." He murmured, the blade began to disappear and reappear in different spots.
"How is he doing that?" Kenny asked while Dizzi did a scan.
"He's moving so fast it seems like's he's actually teleporting." The bitbeast replied.
"God, I hope she can win." Max whispered. Kevin stared in disbelief. Turning back to Maria he shouted.
"Don't you DARE lose!!!"
"I won't!" She yelled back and concentrated on her blade.
'Think, Ray's blade is moving fast, too fast for me to hit it, so I have to figure out where it's going to move before it actually does. Think!' She thought furiously. She concentrated on the blade, both his, and her own. Suddenly she noticed something. Smiling she stared into Ray's eyes.
"Galix! Hawk's dive!" She yelled out.
"Hawk's dive?" Ray murmured.
"You didn't think I learned nothing over the past 5 years did ya?" She replied smiling. Her blade jumped into the air and seemed to float, just like an eagle. The minute Ray's blade vanished again, the blade dropped like a rock, it pelted just to the right to where Ray's blade was, just as the silver colored blade reappeared, Maria's smashed into it head on.
"What?!" He yelled out astonished as his blade sailed past his head.
"Maria wins!" Tyson declared. Ray sighed, then smiled.
"Well, let's see how the next match goes then. See you soon Maria." He said smiling warmly. Maria stared at his retreating back.
"Something wasn't right about that." Kenny muttered.
"No duh, when your enemy is happy that you win, there's definitely something wrong." Max agreed.
"Way to go Maria!" Kevin cheered as she stepped off the arena. The pink haired girl smiled.
"Thanks. Who's next?" She whispered to Max. Max turned around and nodded. Johnny smiled.
"They're going down."
"Just try to leave the area in one piece." Oliver asked with an easy smile, Johnny groaned and asked
"Do I have to?" laughter rang out though the group. For once, things were looking up for them.
~~~~~~
"Laugh all you can Bladebreakers. Cause after you lose, you won't be able to." Tala thought smirking. He snapped his fingers and grinned. Maria was staring at Max with a happy feeling, she was sure he'd lead them all to safety. A pair of strong hands grabbed her from behind, before she could even shout, the hands pulled her through the doors and she was gone.
