Kit: Okie, here's the newest installment to Betrayed! Hope you enjoy it!

Tala: Yes, it took Kitten FOREVER to get the right idea for the legend in this chapter! So, read it carefully, and ask questions if you don't understand something! Kitten loves questions!

Rayne: [rolls eyes] Tala, you're an idiot...

Tala: [big puppy eyes] WHAT?!

Kit: [glares] Nevermind, you two! Wolfie, disclaimer!

Tala: Kitten doesn't own any of Beyblade's original characters or bit-beasts, but she owns Rayne's team AND their bit-beasts, so no taking without permission!

Kit: And, let the story commense!

italics: The legend

Rayne blinked as her cellphone rang, pulling the compact talking devise from her bedside stand. She flipped it open, and held it just a few millimeters from her ear, just incase someone was calling to yell at her, {Yep, Rayne here.} she answered into the phone.

There was a sigh on the other end of the phone, followed by {I know it's you Rayne. If I had wanted to talk to another of my agents, then I would've dialed THEIR number!}

Rayne sweatdropped to herself, {Sorry, chief.} ((A/N: This is NOT Kenny. It's another chief.))

{Any way. I found something that might be of intrest to you and your team on this particular case. I'm sending it as we speak.} as 'chief' said this, Rayne's suitcase opened, and an old, worn book came flying out, nearly beheading Rayne as it flew past her, landing on the ground with a dead weight THUMP!

Rayne sweatdropped, {Chief, I really wish you could find another way to transport things to us when we're out on the job. That book nearly decapitated me!}

There was a sad sigh on the other end of the line, followed by, {What, the book missed? Phooey, I was trying to hit your head....} and Rayne rolled her eyes at her boss.

{Alright, Chief. We'll read your book. Just don't send anymore inanimate objects to try and kill us. Ok?} she asked uncertainly as she looked warily at the book.

'Chief' laughed and answered with, { Of course, Agent 13. Just do a good job on this mission, and please, Rayne, be careful.} and with that said, he hung up.

Rayne flipped the phone shut and dropped it onto her bed stand, carefully picking up the book, as it looked as if it would fall to peices at the smallest little breeze. She blinked as she blew the dust that clung to the cover. "The legend of the Goddess Bit-beasts." she read aloud as she flipped open the book.

And, then she began to read aloud the legend:

Long ago, when the world was still young, and humans were just a small, imaginitive idea in The Creator's thoughts, Bit-beasts ruled the world, though each had his or her own stature and place in the natural social circle. There were four powerful domains, each run by it's own FEMALE ruler. Each of the rulers had their own knight, to protect and keep them safe if the time ever came to need to do so.

In the South, where darkness rained supreme, ruled the Goddess Panthra, alongside her knight, Dranzer, the knight of Fire. Panthra was a miracle in her own ways. She was gentle and kind, very amazing traits considering her powers and other such things. She was also the leader of the four Goddesses. Panthra was a great woman, loyal and true, and an even greater ruler, with her fair decisions and wise choices. But, little did she know that her advisors, her very friends, sought to throw her roughly from her throne. As she began to mature, she became beautiful and graceful, as suggested her other form, that of a Black Panther. And, as her knight, Dranzer, heightened to maturity, he became more handsome every day. And soon, the two were more in love then anyone could have supposed, but fate had other plans... In the cloaked darkness of night, her advisors kidnapped Dranzer, and sent him to the north, where he was out of reach of Panthra's love. They then told her that he had not truely loved her, and that he had left her and then somehow died. In a state of depressed shock, Panthra became cold and angry with all who had meant anything to her, just as her advisors had oppted(?) for. And, so Panthra became a cold, mean, and feared ruler, and everyone wanted to excape from her....but, that in itself as an entirely different story...

To the North, where water and ice ruled the 'roost' ruled the Goddess, Fangra, Goddess of Water, along with her knight, Wolborg, knight of Ice. Fangra was sweet and amazingly calm, with an annoying way of knowing what was meant to happen. She was loved by all who lived in her kingdom. She was a superb ruler, and was always fair to her advirsaries, and her punishments were never to harsh, but they weren't leniant either. Fangra and Wolborg were already great friends as they were growing up, and he would have protected her with his life if he had to. So, just as with Panthra and Dranzer, the two fell in love. About that time, Dranzer arrived, and he was just as cold and mean as Panthra had become, for the advisors had told him that she hadn't loved him and that she had sent him from her in the dark of the night. He often spent hours on end alone somewhere, thinking of Panthra and why she would do this to him. At first, he and Wolborg were the worst of enemies, but as time progressed, the two began to look at eachother as potential friends, and soon, the two were doing everything they could together. But, as in Panthra's story, fate had other plans... In the middle of a fearsome, physical dispute, while Fangra was fighting in her other form, that of a Blue Tigress, Wolborg was injured and Fangra was assured that he would be taken to the Medical-Wing, but as with Dranzer's story, he was sent away as well, but to the South, to try and calm Panthra's quarreling emotions.

To the East, ruled the Goddess, Leora of Light, with her knight Falborg of Air. Leora was an amazing political mind, with logical reasons for everything and whimsical thoughts past every universe and star. She loved to seek knowledge from the stars at night, but as usual, they were their ever silent selves. Falborg was always with her, where ever she would go, and most places he was just barely permitted to follow her into, such as her secret place and may other places. The two trusted eachother with all their souls and hearts. They did everything they could together, and trusted eachother with their deepest, darkest secrets. They both matured at the same time, and just as the other Goddesses did, Leora fell for Falborg, but fate too toyed with her emotions. In the middle of a heated war, while Leora was trying to protect her homeland, while in her form of the White Lioness, Falborg was critically injured and, just as the others, she was assured that he would be sent to the Hospital-Wing, but he was instead sent away, to the West, and so Leora's heart became cold and clouded by despair....

To the West, ruled wise Goddess, Cheera of Fire, along with her knight, Seaborg of the Sea. Cheera was a graceful and subservient young Goddess, not to mention the youngest of the four. She was incredibly intelligent despite her young age and appearance. She was trusting and bright and cheery whereever she came and went. She always left a trail of hapiness wherever she'd been. She was a young Goddess that was looked up to and, according to most of her followers, you could look up 'refined' in the dictionary, and her piture would be next to that of her mother and her grandmother. Cheera and Seaborg were a first, the best of enemies, and could quarrel with the worst of them. They hated eachother with a fiery passionateness. But, soon the two began to realize how futile fighting was, and that they would be stuck together for a long time, and so they learned how to get along, but they said they learned the hard way. And, so it came to pass that like all living things, they grew and matured from little ones, to adulthood, and as fate and destiny would have it, the two fell in love with eachother, but fate decided to cease this happiness as well. At the halfway point of a war, Falborg was hurt while protecting Cheera, who had been in her alternate form, of a Red Cheetah. She too was assured that he would be well taken care of, but instead was hauled off to the East, to recover with Leora and her broken heart.

And, so thanks to the advisors in all four kingdoms, who at frist believed they were doing themselves a favor, instead dealt their own Death cards. When the young Goddesses drifted off into depression and desolation, their gifts upon the Earth ceased to exist all together. And, since the Goddesses now had no meaning in life, they too ceased to exist, and just faded from all knowledge into the desolate land of despair and infelicity. Now, it is still unknown as to where the Goddesses reside in their meloncholia and woes....

Rayne gasped and pulled her blade from her pocket, the gleaming image of a proud Black Panther that once sparkled on her blade, had changed to that of a sad, distressed cat who had no where to turn, " Panthra..." she murmured to herself.

Kit was next to look at her blade, her eyes wide with amazement. The once majestic Fangra now seemed so desperate for some form of comfort, a break from all her heartache, " Fangra..." she whispered as she looked at her blade sadly.

Taryn looked at her blade sadly, the once confident Leora now seemed sad and meloncholy, and so much unlike herself, " Oh, Leora..." she sighed to herself as she watched her blade lose its mightly gleam.

Tanya let a small, crystal tear slide down her check as she fingered her blade as if it were glass, the image of Cheera not so powerful and fearless anymore, " Cheera..." she said quietly as the tear slid down her cheekd and landed on the image of Cheera, who also looked like she was begging to cry....
Ok, we have a poll for my wonderful reviewers:

If you were a villager in one of the four kingdoms ruled by the four Goddess bit-beasts, who would you side with? The advisors, or the Goddesses? You must tell why you would side with this group (A REASONABLE REASON!).

Kit: Ok, how'd ya liked it! And, in the next chappie, I will include the results from the poll and such. So, choose sides wisely.

Tala: Yep. Well, R & R!!!
