Diclaimer: You know the drill......Oo;;
Night was descending upon the White Tiger village, as every villager started to retreat back into their huts, anxious of what was yet to come. The white tiger hadn't shown up for days, now, but they were all still shaken. They weren't taking any chances.
They'd already seen what had happened to Ray, their world champion.
The neko-jin was still in bed, barely conscious. He was exhausted, even though his team mates had been guarding him from the moon, for the past few nights, in an attempt to help their team mate recover. He just seemed to be becoming weaker. Even though the moon was out of view, he still felt an urge. A tiny part of his mind still responded to the moon. Tried to make him transform.
This feeling in his mind had gotten stronger with each night that had passed by. He was starting to worry. He still couldn't speak to his team mates. He was still shaken from the last conversation he had with them. But they knew something was wrong. They knew it. They'd seen the fear in his eyes. They were concerned, and he knew they were going to ask sooner or later.
As the night began spreading over the sky, Ray's pupils slitted as the feeling returned, stronger than ever. It wasn't going to leave him alone.
"Ray?" Max's voice was only just heard as the feeling continually expanded over Ray's mind. Pain was starting to flow through his head.
No!
He had to fight it! He couldn't give in to it now!
Sweat beaded his forehead, as his breathing suddenly became laboured. As pain brewed around in his head. He gripped it in agony, teeth clenched. Kai tensed, seeing the terror in Ray's eyes.
"Guys...." He whispered. His voice had gotten extremely hoarse.
"Ray! What's wrong?!" Tyson asked, desperation in his tone. "Are you okay, dude?"
"N....no....." He gasped, softly. He stared up at his three team mates, his eyes filled with sadness and fear. A tear was trickling from his right eye.
"Ray, a-are you gonna-" Max froze when Ray gave a small nod, more tears spilling over.
Everyone silenced, as their team mate started once again started to speak. But he barely had any voice left in his tone, and had to hoarsely whisper.
"Li..listen.....I....want you.....g...guys to....to run......"
Kai stared at his team mate, horror in his eyes. He knew Ray was going to transform, despite everything they'd done to protect him. He couldn't contain the white tiger within himself any longer, and he knew it.
"Ray, you can't! You can't become that -- that tiger again! You'll be killed!" Max cried.
Tyson jumped when red began swirling inside Ray's slitted pupils.
"I....can't......help it......." He whispered softly.
"RAY!" All three cried out as his pupils suddenly glowed red. Draining the real Ray from his eyes. Replacing him with the tiger.
'T-Tyson....'
"NO WAY! I said I was gonna get us there, and I meant it!" Tyson cried as he stood up, the wounded Ray on his back.
"Tyson, you are one strange dude....." Ray muttered as they approached the China Tower......
'Max....'
"I'm sure Ray's trying his best, despite his past feelings for Mariah!" Max reassured the angered Kai, glaring at the struggling Ray.....
'K-Kai....'
"Good luck...My friend." Kai said softly as his team mate walked towards the dish before his battle with Bryan......
The real Ray managed to cry out before the tiger and the moon took hold of his own free will.
"RUN!"
He let out a scream as red light poured from his wounded body. His eyes glowed beastly red, now. He felt himself, slipping away.
Slipping away......
"RAY!"
It was too late. The scream had become a roar. Ray's transformation was taking over. His will had vanished from his body.
The red light gleamed brightly in the hut. All three boys were shielding their eyes. They were shaking violently. They knew what his fate was. They knew.
Suddenly, the light seemed to leap over the BladeBreakers, a loud roar following soon after.
Kai spun around as the light subsided abruptly, and tensed to see the tiger snarling viciously at him. Its eyes were gleaming a more brighter red than usual. Gleaming with even more hate.
It let out another deafening roar, as Tyson and Max also spun around, spotting the tiger and paling. But they gasped as they got a closer look at the white tiger.
Many wounds were reopening. The tiger let out a weakened growl as the wave of weakness consumed it. But its eyes still remained glowing a bright red, preventing any more sympathy towards it.
"He's weakening...." Kai whispered.
The tiger's eyes suddenly exploded with red light, letting out a crazed yowl. A red aura seemed to surround it, making it take on an even fiercer appearance.
Tyson backed away, but Kai grabbed him by the collar, a death glare in his eyes.
"Where do you think you're going?" He hissed. "If you move, the tiger is more likely to get YOU than anyone else!"
Tyson blinked, and stood still.
The three watched as the red light completely flooded their former team mate's eyes. The tiger was snarling viciously towards them, never seeing them as his friends, but trespassers and prey.
It roared and leapt forward, bloodstained fangs bared.
Max screamed and braced himself. Tyson was pale and still with fright. Kai even shut his eyes, turning his head away from the tiger.
Suddenly, a loud bellow sounded from their right. The threesome opened their eyes, as a flash of green light flooded their vision.
The tiger was knocked back with a yowl as the light itself took on the familiar form of Drigger.
The bitbeast stood in front of the remaining BladeBreakers, staring at its former master in the eyes. He knew the curse was getting stronger inside the blader's mind, and was strengthening the white tiger. That was the reason the tiger was even able to leap forward to try and take the other teenagers down.
Driger tensed. But still, he couldn't risk hurting Ray. He'd overheard what Kai had said a couple nights before. And if that was true, he would be without a master and a true friend.
But where was the person who had done this to him? Surely, she would be near.....
Driger's thoughts were interrupted as the tiger leapt forth, jumping on top of the bitbeast's back. Driger started bucking and racing around. He knew the tiger could sink his teeth into his neck in this position.
"Ah! Oh no!" Max cried as lights started coming on inside the nearby huts. "Guys, look!
"Driger!" Kai yelled as he, too spotted lights inside the huts. "You have to bring the fight away from the village! If the villagers see Ray, he's done for! And so are they if they're unarmed!"
Driger only just managed to hear Kai's quick instructions and suddenly leapt straight into the forest, just as a door suddenly flew open.
Kai and Max dragged a dumbfounded Tyson towards the forest, trying their best not to be caught in the flashlights that shone in their direction. They would be heavily suspected if they were caught fleeing the village......
But right now, they needed to do something highly important.
They needed to save their friend.
Before something happened to him, first.
NG: GOMEN! Short chappie, and LONG time since update, I know. But after FINALLY GETTING VOLUME 11 I just HAD TO WATCH IT ALL!!!
(Pant, pant)
Kai: Oo;;
NG: Also, I want you guys to have some sympathy for DarkFire Guardian. See, she got bullied at school, and three girls slammed her into a door, making her break her earbone. So she's been feeling extremely nauseous. I'm sure she's appreciate it if you read her fic, Flamedancer.
That's pretty much all I have to say. (Throws party) I SAW VOLUME 11!!! DO THE MACERENA WITH ME, PEEPLES!!
