Chapter 5
Johnny stepped up to the arena, Just like Tyson had 5 years ago . . . . memories swamped Max's mind before he could stop them.
~ Flashback ~
"You're done for!" Tala shouted. Max was now reliving the World Championships. Reduced to watching his teammate battle for his life, and being separated from him by a 6 inch thick wall of ice.
"Tyson! Don't give up!" The blonde yelled. Kenny was frantic.
"Slow down, you're going to burn my keypad." Dizzi complained
"Hurry up! Tyson is losing! We have to find a way to help him!"
"C'mon Tyson, you can beat him." Kai hissed through gritted teeth.
~ Inside ~
"Give up now. Save yourself the trouble." Tala declared. Tyson was on one knee his body bruised all over. A small line of blood trickled from his forehead. One more attack like that and. . . . . . .
"Giving up already?" The redhead asked with a grim smile.
"Y-you wish!" Tyson retorted. He tried vaguely to stand. The third round was in session, if Tyson lost. Dragoon would be gone forever.
"I won't listen to you!" Our young hero screamed, he slowly and PAINFULLY got to his feet. He staggered a bit more, then balanced on his feet. The harsh wind was pushing him over.
"You really are a glutton for punishment." Tala's cold voice commented. Almost thoughtfully.
~ Outside ~
"How much longer can he keep going?" Emily whispered.
"As long as he has to. Tyson won't give up. Tala's wasting his breath." Lee told her.
"Hang in there Tyson. Don't give up yet." Judy thought in a silent prayer.
~ Hospital ~
"Maria?"
"Hm?" The girl turned her head to find Ray trying to get up.
"Don't! You need to rest!"
"I'm getting down there and you won't stop me!" The black haired youth growled. Maria stared, the determination in his eyes never wavered. She sighed.
"Okay. But only if you promise me you won't get hurt." He smiled.
"Okay. Promise."
~ Arena (Outside) ~
"C'mon. C'mon!" Kai urged angrily. Watching the Vid-Screen. He saw Tyson dodge Tala's attack. Barely.
"You can do this." Max yelled.
"We have got to DO something!" Anreikai screamed.
"What the heck CAN we do?!" Oliver demanded.
"Something! ANYTHING!" He replied frustrated.
"Calm down." Emily ordered. Everyone stared at her, amazed by how calm she was.
"How can you be like that?! Aren't you worried about Tyson?!" Michael demanded.
"Of course I am! But we have to stay cool. Freaking out won't help us or Tyson." She said matter of fact. Max nodded.
"What we need to do. Is find a way to give Tyson a power boost. We can't get in there obviously, but maybe we can help him." She declared. Robert nodded.
"let's get to it."
'Here's something new.' Max couldn't help thinking. 'One good thing has come from this. Everyone's working together. Like a team'
~ Inside ~
'I can't lose!' Tyson thought in anger. 'Everyone's counting on me!'
"Dragoon! Phantom Hurricane attack!" His blade wavered a bit before sending out a cyclone, the ice on the ground added to make an ice hurricane.
"Nice try." Tala commented. "Walborg! Final Assault!"
~ Outside ~
"NO!" Max was in a panic. Tyson was going to be killed if something didn't help him. Ray was standing there, unnoticed by anyone. He leaned against the wall while Maria supported him and watched the vid- screen with growing terror.
"Tyson." She whispered, Ray was gritting his teeth clenching his fist.
~ Inside ~
Tyson braced himself, he had to survive this attack. He saw Tala's blade flare, all the bitbeasts he had stolen burst out, as they joined together they formed a streak of black, it pelted like a bullet at Dragoon.
"Say goodbye." His opponent told him. The blast destroyed his blade, and sent Tyson careening back. The whole iceberg was beginning to crack. Then in a giant explosion, the ice pelted everywhere, holding an arm over his eyes, Max walked forward, ice gashed his arm and he winced. But still walked forward.
"I win." Tala said grinning like a maniac.
"N-no." Tyson hissed, he was in an eagle spread on his back, he couldn't move.
"Your bitbeast is mine, and now I think I'll show you what I can do with all this power." Then, laughing crazily, he held up his blade.
"Max! Get Tyson and the others out of here NOW!" Kai screamed, "But what about you?!" He saw the look in Kai's eyes, he knew what his friend was going to do.
"Never mind! Just go!" The blonde shook his head.
"I won't leave you to fight him!"
"I'm your team captain Max. What I say goes!"
"But-!"
"GO!" Kai turned to stare at him. "I'll be fine." Max hesitated, then nodded. He picked Tyson up by the shoulder, Kenny grabbed the other side, and they pulled him out of there. "What are you waiting for?!" Max yelled back to the others.
"Kevin! Gary! Get going, I have some unfinished business." Lee ordered.
"B-but!"
"No buts, get going. Protect the team Gary." The large youth nodded. Kevin stared, then ran off shouting back.
"You'd better not get hurt! Maria would KILL me!"
"Well I ain't sticking around." Johnny called.
"Get going." Robert ordered.
"Right!" All 4 left, only Robert, who was running behind the other 3, hid behind a doorway as they ran out. 'Sorry. But I have to do this.'
"Don't think you can escape!" Tala yelled in anger. His blade glowed red, it was still held in his hand above his head. Lights shot everywhere, one was heading towards Tyson and the others, who had a hard time getting away while carrying their injured teammate.
"NO!" Kai yelled, and doing the one thing no one had thought he would. He jumped into the way of the others and blocked the attack.
"KAI!" Ray yelled. Time was slowing down, he could see Kai falling, first to his knees, then down until his was lying completely onto the floor. Ray growled.
"You stinking, slimy, little-!" The black haired youth couldn't find the words to described that worm. In a fit of rage he leapt at Tala, the red head was unmoved. He only pointed at Ray and a bolt of blackness shot at him.
"On no! RAY!" Maria screamed, her friend dropped in mid air, and landed on the ground with a thud.
"Get out of here!" Robert ordered pushing her away.
"But- lookout!" She saw light coming for both of them.
"Griffolian!" He called out, his bitbeast flared to life, blocking them. But it was taking all his strength.
"Move!" He ordered, she obeyed. They were nearly at the door when a screech met their ears. Griffolian had fallen and light was pouring at them.
"Run!" He screamed, they both ran for the door, they were in the main hall (The area where Tyson and the gang met up with Voltar, right after Tyson has his head inflated with the fan club) when Robert was struck.
"Keep going. . . . ." She stared back in horror, then ran on tears falling out. Slamming the door shut, she slammed a metal bar between the handle and ran off hoping to god that the others were alright.
~ End Flashback ~
So now they were going to correct what had happened 5 years ago. Well, maybe this time, they could win. Max looked up and blanched. Johnny was fighting Kai.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Starlet: That chapter was a little sappy, don't you think? ARGH!! WHY DO I ALWAYS THINK UP SAPPY TRASH?!?!?!?! *Ahem* Anyway, the next chapter should have a little more fun in it. If you can call this fun . . . . .
