Yawn. I am getting more and more tired with more and more late night oil to burn. You see, my major examinations will take place in another weeks' time. . . You heard me right . . . But the writing bug bit me so I need to write if not . . . I may itch to death . . . well maybe this is too farfetched . . .

And I must thank my ONLY reviewer of this story - PinkDevil! I'm glad that you said that 'its a shame it doesn't have more reviews' and that you enjoyed reading it?

But I don't write to get reviews only. I do this to relieve stress . . . That does NOT mean I don't welcome reviews though . . .

Without any more crap from this authoress, I present to you - "Battle to Survive"s fifth chapter!

Don't forget to review . . .

Disclaimer: I do not own any beyblades and its characters. I only own the OCs in this fan fiction.

* * * * * * *

Max looked into the beystadium in awe. Tyson's jaw also dropped, along with Ray's mouth too. In front of them was a smaller dome than the exterior of the beystadium but also huge, nonetheless. Four fountains spewed blue- colored water, literally, as they stand on the North, South, East and West of the dome.

Behind the trio, the woman in man's disguise was amused as she looked at Michelle. 'They have not seen the best of Yan Lan Court yet.'

"You are always up to no good, Jade." Michelle whispered, not knowing that Ray had heard the name that she just spoke of.

'Is it true that what I'm thinking is true?' Ray mused. But Ray's attention was 'glued' back to the 'man' with a similar hairstyle as his while 'he' walked one of the small fountains in the North direction of the dome.

Jade just put her whole palm onto a metallic pad on the round and slightly heightened base of that particular fountain. Immediately, the dome opened its hatch to reveal a even more stunning view.

All of them gasped. In the middle of the dome was caved in piece of land covered with metallic tiles. It seemed to have a very smooth surface for beybattle. There was also a stand, which could fit in at least twelve persons.

The others walked over to it with Tyson's grandfather pulling Ray and Max to sit with them. Tyson caught a particular man's icy glare at him and he shuddered.

Jade put a hand on his shoulder and Tyson was surprised to smell a pleasant small permeating from her body. 'Yucks. He puts perfume . . .' What Tyson looked into was a pair of blue-greenish eyes with her fathomless competitiveness.

"Lets start, shall we?" Jade smiled a fake one at Tyson as she proceeded to stand on the two sides of the 'metallic' curve, which was a raised platform made of smooth green material and it would have felt cool to the barefoot too.

As 'he' stepped' on it, a tinge of agitated emotion flashed passed Jade eyes but her eyes returned to normal as she took out a white beyblade without a bit in it. A tiny smile appeared on Tyson's face, 'He does not have a bitbeast? I'll beat him!'

"No, I do have a bitbeast. Why don't you take out your beyblade, Tyson? What are you waiting for?!?" Jade questioned angrily.

"Are you wanting it so badly to be beaten?" Tyson retorted but he took out his beyblade too.

Jade removed her necklace, which was carved with green stones. There was pearl-shaped pendant which she removed to open its cover. Then, she took out a bit which was green in colour too as it radiated an aura of sexuality and placed onto her beyblade which glowed faintly

"Are you ready?" Jade asked.

"Ready then ever!" Tyson retorted hotly, "Who's the judge?" Tyson was already on the other raised platform.

"I am." A man calmly stood between them.

"Nickel." Jade frowned at him. His knuckles were clutching tightly and had turned white.

"Ready? 3-2-1 let it rip!" He shouted as he stared at Tyson.

"This start is not fair." Jade spoke quietly as Nickel's cold demeanor once again stunned Tyson. "We'll start again then." Nickel was silent as he looked at Jade sadly. Tyson noticed a hint of feeling going on between Jade and Nickel. Strangely, Tyson's heart tightened too as an unfamiliar feeling filled his senses. 'I'll not love a man. Would I?'

Of course, he would not have known the 'John' that he despised would be a girl . . .

* * * * * *

" Let it RIP!" Both Jade and Tyson shouted at the same time.

Tyson launched his beyblade with his launcher and stood ground.

The launch of jade's beyblade was peculiar though as she spun on the spot about three times before pulling the yellow cord of her launcher. As her left shoulder moved, she winced which was caught by all the spectators.

'She has not healed yet?' Nickel thought worriedly.

"I'll defeat you, John!" Tyson shouted as he recollected what he did to beat Tala in the Finals of the World Beyblade Championships. "As one, we will defeat you, John. Dragoon! Come out right now! Phantom Hurricane!"

Jade furrowed her brows, "Reckless like a rookie! Trellis! Deflect his attack right now! Tyson, don't look down on me. What you can do, I am better at that!"

Both of their bitbeast were released at the same time.

Firstly, a majestic blue dragon emerged from the bit as its claws were long and sharp, Tyson let out a growl together with Dragoon as the bitbeast attacked Jade's blade.

Shortly after, a humanoid bitbeast emerged from Jade's bit. It was a pretty bitbeast with her body barely covered by her clothes. A powerful blast of wind rushed towards the bitbeast. Trellis smirked as she created a powerful wave of energy at Dragoon, diminishing the strong wind to near zero speed. Unable to deflect the shot completely, the remaining wind hit onto Trellis as she was forced back.

Tyson was bewildered to see Jade moving backwards too as sweat formed on her forehead. 'He is good!' Jade thought to herself. She had under- estimated him. 'What the heck? I'll just put my best effort.

Tyson was also impressed to see deflecting part of his attack. He and his bitbeast had established the bond and yet Jade could still withstand the strong attack.

Jade closed her eyes as she aided her beyblade to move in co-ordinance with her mind and even her soul. Trellis emitted a pure green light from her whole body as Jade's long hair was made 'free' with the removal of the object that gave her hair a long ponytail shape.

Jade's features looked peaceful as Trellis growled softly under her breath. "We'll take you down, Tyson!" The master and the bitbeast spoke together, their voices overlapping each other.

"What the. . .?" Max and Ray exclaimed in total shock. They were doing the same thing as what Tyson and Dragoon did at the Finals. But they were apparently more powerful than that!

Tyson smirked as he concentrated his strength, ignoring the fear that was overwhelming him. He might lose . . . He knew it somehow . . .

"Dragoon, we'll show them, won't we?" The bitbeast grinned at Tyson as he spoke again, just like he did at the final moments of defeating Tala completely, "As long as you believe in me, we will defeat our opponents, but this time. . ." Dragoon kept silent as the two await the attack by Jade and her bitbeast.

"Trellis! Phantom hurricane!" Jade yelled. As a sudden burst of energy was released by her bitbeast. Jade was slowly losing her stamina as blurry image took over part of her vision. 'Not now, please?'

"What?" Tyson cried out as his opponent's bitbeast produced a similar attack to his own. "You're just a cheater, John! Dragoon, Storm Attack!" He shouted angrily.

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the match as a few men who were bodyguards were thrown into the stadium, "Jade is indeed a cheater! NiYu, PhantomCombat on Trellis and Jade!"

Another humanoid bitbeast appeared as it released a stream of powerful energy blast at Trellis and 'John'. . .

Caught unaware, Jade and her bitbeast took the direct hit.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Jade screamed in agony as she was blasted over a long distance, about a few meters away from her platform.

"Jade!" Nickel yelled out anxiously as he dashed over to Jade, who was unconscious. Her shirt was ripped open by the powerful attack as blood spilled out from the corner of her mouth.

The attacker laughed sinisterly, "How dare you impersonate John, jade! How dare you!" Tyson, Ray and Max could not believe their eyes. But there was no mistake even as Nickel took out his clothes to cover her bare chest.

"Jade!" A pregnant woman from the stands rushed out and wanted to look at Jade but Niyu stood in front, approaching the woman evilly.

"Michelle! You bastard, Katrina! Don't hurt my sister!" Nickel shouted as he cradled his lover in his arms.

Katrina sneered, "You only care for Jade, not your sister! Kill Michelle Kitz, Niyu! NOW WITH PHANTOMCOMBAT!!!"

"No." Jade weakly spoke as a green light radiated from her body and enveloped her.

She flew to mid-air by a mysterious force, which blew wind at her disorientated hair. "Trellis, PhantomCombat."

Her bitbeast obeyed her even as she dragged her battered body to defend her mistress's friend.

Tyson and his teammates wondered how Jade got power from her injured body. Blood still trickled down her mouth but she looked sacred with her sacrificing body. Trellis stood in front of Michelle, she being bonded deeply with her mistress. . .

"No!" Michelle cried as Trellis took the blow from Niyu completely, at an ultra close range.

This time, not only did red warm blood was splattered from her mouth, the crimson liquid also flowed out from Jade's ears and nose as she fell limply to the ground, badly injured.

Niyu and her mistress had deliberately waited for Trellis to arrive before they strike, or else, Michelle Kitz would be dead by then. The two cruel living things left the stadium, as mysteriously as they came.

"Oh my gosh!" Rose exclaimed as she rushed to see Jade.

Tyson was staring at her coldly. Although he was shook by Jade's noble act, he could not believe that she was a girl!

The end was quite bloody, isn't it?

Please review and give feedback on how I can improve my story, can?

By the way, I'll be able to devote ALL of my time to writing fanfictions after 18th November. Till then, you will not see me again!
