Chapter 5

        "All right Billy, we're going to have to wait, Biovolt are attacking the BBA today so our fun shall be put off until this battle is over.  Boss says that it's best to strike after the battle, when they're all licking their wounds."  The large and very dumb Billy nodded,

        "But after that Billy can have fun?"  The other man smiled,

        "Yes, Billy now come on, I'm hungry."

Kai's eyes eagerly scanned the plans laid before him, searching for any flaws or miscalculations in their plan of attack.  This was a big battle and it was protecting a lot of people, they had to be careful.  His eyes shifted to the door of his room as Mia entered and stood beside him.

        "What do you think?" Kai asked her, Mia scanned the plans and gave him a quick wink,

        "That should do the job!"  Kai smiled and felt a bit of a funny feeling in his stomach.  He risked one last glance at the girl he was falling for before deciding to go and train... again. 

Mariah softly ran her hands through Ray's silky, raven hair as she kissed him passionately.  Fortunately, Kai and Mia were really the only two people who knew about their little relationship and, if they could help it, it was going to stay that way.  Ray gently lifted Mariah up and she wrapped her legs securely around his waist, breaking their kiss to smile sweetly at the man that she loved.  Ray wiped away a loose strand of pink hair from her tanned face and rubbed her nose against his own.

        "I love you."  Mariah giggled and kissed him gently on the lips.

        "I love you too, tiger."  Ray grinned and they started kissing again, deeply and desperately.  Suddenly, Tyson's voice was heard calling Ray' s name and the two quickly broke apart.  Tyson ran around the corner and grinned when he saw Ray.

        "Ray, dude, we've been looking all over for you buddy!  Where have you been?"  Ray went scarlet.

        "Umm... Mariah and I just went for a walk."

        "Into a deserted, dark corner in the middle of nowhere?" Ray and Mariah looked at each other nervously,

        "Yep, well, got to go! Bye Tyson!"  Ray shouted over his shoulder as he and Mariah ran off. 

        "Hmm… must be the whole half-cat thing..." Tyson pondered to himself and went off to find someone else to torture until he was called into battle.

It was around Noon that the chaos began and that Biovolt began their first wave of attack.  The assembled soldiers hidden away in the All-stars research centre immediately began pouring out and taking their battle positions, Kai and Mia leading them.  Ray and Mariah were watching from the roof, ready to pounce down if they were needed.  Max and Emily were taking the rear, to ensure that no back-attacks could slip in unnoticed and Kenny was sitting in a big chair in front of a huge supercomputer calculating new attack patterns and squadrons, Tyson and Hillary slouched down beside him.  Kenny's finger's moved like lightening over the large keyboard as he sent a bunch of satellite pictures to Kai and Mia, who were fronting the assault.  He then sent a copy of the same pictures to Ray and Mariah and Max and Emily.  A bead of sweat fell down his brow and he could not take away the worry consuming his emotions.  This was it.  If the BBA messed up now... they had basically lost the War before it had even begun.

        "ATTACK THE LEFT FLANK! DEFEND THE RIGHT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, SOLDIER? STEADY YOUR GUN!" Kai was obviously thriving at his role as head of operations in the front line, Michael was not far behind him, blowing a Biovolt's soldiers head off.  Mia jumped up beside and slashed through a young man's head, it casually lolling off his shoulders.  Kai brought his fist down on top of another mans head, knocking him unconscious.  He looked above him and saw that a few soldiers were trying to scale the walls and that Ray and Mariah were having trouble holding them all off.  He swore quietly and ordered a couple of dozen troops to get up there and help.

        Mariah punched her fist into another Biovolt soldiers face and felt her stomach turn when a loud crunching sound was heard.  Ray saw another man sneaking up behind her and he leapt at him, his foot finding the man's jaw.  The two White Tigers backed away from the soldiers slowly, both of their pupils now slits and anger radiating from every fibre of their beings.  Someone jumped at Mariah and Ray and knocked them off their feet.  The two warriors scrambled to their feet to see Ian of the Demolition Boys standing before them a smug and annoying smile plastered on his ugly mug. (A/N: this next bit is for you, Jingle Bells!!) He was about to strike Mariah over the head with his gun when a large alligator appeared in front of him and it's large jaws snapped Ian's gun in half.  Ian looked up at the huge reptile in front of him and turned to run when a tennis racket smacked him square in the face.  Emily grabbed a handful of rocks, threw them in the air and smashed them down with her racket onto Ian with such force that his entire body jerked upwards and then fell, unconscious.  Ray and Mariah looked over at the orange-haired (A/N: I'm calling her orange haired because to me, that aint ginger hair!) young woman in mild surprise and huge grins broke out onto their faces.

        "Nice shot, Emz!"  Emily looked over at Mariah and smiled confidently.

        "All in a days work, Mari."  The two girls smiled at each other and turned onto the large amount of Biovolt soldiers assembled on the rooftop.  With a single nod they charged at them, Galux and Trygator smashing and slashing their way through several regiments of soldiers.  Ray and Driger watched astonished from the sidelines.

        "Hey, Driger?"

        "Yeah."

        "Remind me never to get on Mariah's bad side."

        "KEEP UP THE ATTACK, DON'T FALTER NOW! MOVE INTO FORMATION AND PREPARE TO ATTACK! THE TIME FOR DEFENCE IS OVER!"  Tyson heard Kai's voice booming out over the warriors and he grinned,

        "Time for me to kick some booty, you ready, Dragoon?"

        "I am ready as always, Master."  Tyson grinned and ran his finger underneath his nose,

        "Then let's go."

        Mia ducked an array of bullets from a machine gun and tightened her grip around Lonewolf's bit-chip; this was getting messy, they had to wrap this up before Biovolt started overwhelming them.  Lonewolf emerged from his bit and charged at the men operating the machine gun, tossing their lifeless and bloody bodies over their own barracks.  Mia ran out from her hiding place and jumped elegantly onto his back, her fingers tightly grasping the Wolf's thick, coarse hair. 

        "We've got to get out of here, I think Kai's about to use our secret weapon."  Lonewolf nodded and darted swiftly back to the All-stars base, scrambling agilely over various bodies from both sides.  Mia surveyed the scene with distaste; this war was going to be bloody... and it wasn't going to end over-night. 

(A/N: Should I continue?  All: YES! KG2: ...okay...)

Tyson sprinted up to Kai who was currently hacking a Biovolt chief into small pieces.  A bit of blood splattered onto Tyson's squeaky clean uniform,

        "Lovely."  He stated to his team captain.  Kai left the dead man and looked over at his team mate,

        "You ready?"  Tyson grinned,

        "Of course.  Dragoon is primed and rearing to go!"  Kai nodded, barking orders for all soldiers to retreat.  He looked over at Tyson and managed a half-smile,

        "The stage is yours."  Tyson grinned and walked out onto the middle of the battlefield as the oncoming army charged towards him.  His eyes glowed bright blue as he began to power up a tornado, dragoon instantly jumping out of his bit, invoking the coming storm. 

"Emily, come on!"  Max shouted over shoulder, noticing that the orange haired girl was lagging behind.  Emily nodded and turned the pace up a notch, glancing behind her as an infuriated and wide-awake Ian chased them, Wyborg ahead of him, spitting venom out at them.  Max grabbed Emily's hand and pulled her behind a large piece of rubble.  He held his hand over her mouth and Emily felt herself blush at his touch, while Max on the other hand was trying not to think about how much his hormones were racing at being this close to her.  He frowned as he heard Ian and Wyborg approach their hiding place; he knew they were both too tired to put up any kind of decent fight and that went double for their bit-beasts.  Wyborg slithered by, not far from their feet and Max felt Emily tense against him, his own heart rate quickening.  The Demolition Boys seemed almost able to smell out fear and to get to its source.  Ian's head appeared a few feet above their own,

"Hello down there."  His annoying Russian voice spat out at them and Wyborg instantly swivelled round and lunged at the two of them.  Max pulled Emily tighter to him and the two of them shut their eyes, bracing themselves for the impact. 

Tyson yelled as Dragoon unleashed the full fury of the new and improved 'blood thrusting hurricane attack', which was currently ripping through hundreds of soldiers who were unfortunate enough to get in it's way.  Turning his attention to a group of assembled militants preparing to attack him, Tyson and Dragoon threw the hurricane around to the soldiers, their forms quickly becoming lifeless.  Kai watched from their barracks, his eyes shining with worry.  Tyson was fading fast, he wasn't neither fit enough nor strong enough to keep up and attack of this amplitude and Dragoon was too out of practice.  It seems that he was the only one of the Bladebreakers who had not grown soft in the times of peace.  He was about to summon Dranzer when he noticed that the Biovolt soldiers were retreating, their fear overtaking their orders.  He stared in disbelief as he saw Tala calling them all back into a series of high-powered jets.  He barely dared to think it yet alone say it... they had won.

Max and Emily waited for the impact to come, but it never did.  Mariah and Ray's voices rang out in the air and Galux and Driger pounced on Wyborg slicing at his scaly frame, forming many deep slashes in the snakes skin.  Wyborg hissed in pain and retreated as he and Ian ran away, leaping onto a ladder that came out from a helicopter hovering above them all.

"You got lucky this time but next time you're all mine!" Ian yelled as he was whisked away into the darkening sky.  Emily looked up at Mariah and grinned,

"I guess we're even, huh?"  Mariah laughed and helped up her friend,

"Yeah, we're even."

Kai looked at the rows of casualties that were lined up at the Red Cross medical stations, frustration creasing his brow.  They had won this battle; all of his teammates were alive, just about in Tyson's case, but how high a price would they have to pay for this victory.  Would they be ready when Biovolt struck again?  Only time would tell...

KG2: So?!  What do you all think, please be honest! Remember, reviews keep authors and authoresses writing so keep them coming!  I'm pretty proud of this though and I promise that Billy and his skinny cohort will make an appearance next chapter!

Kai: That was pretty long.

KG2: Wow, thanks Kai!

Kai: humph!

All: *sigh*

Mariah, Emily, Dizzi and Hillary:  Review or we're going to get you!!!!

Guys: *gulp*
