KG2: Yey! I've been saved!
Ray and Mariah: Darn!
KG2: HA! My people are loyal!
Ray and Mariah: Reunite us!!
KG2: Soon, I promise! Just take a piece of Willie style!
All: Woa...?!
KG2: blushes I have an eight year old cousin who still watches the Fresh prince of Bel Air!
All: Ah, 2shay!
KG2: Newayz! Thanks 2 my saviours: Rachel, Galux Kitty, Aquarius Galaxy, Tsunami-Chaos and Calm soul.
All: You dudes rule!
KG2: Yeah! Oh, Aquarius Galaxy, Comet and Angel are my OC's; they have a pretty big part to play in all the stuff involving The Gate of Destiny etc. Read this chapter and a small bit of it will be explained. Chapter nine will tie up all the info about them, okay?
Tyson: Aw, can I do the disclaimer!! I haven't done it yet!
All: sigh
KG2: What do you see in him Hillary?
Hillary: blushes
KG2: Go for it.
Tyson: All right! KG2 does not own beyblade or any of the characters because if she did the writers would have been sacked for airing series 2 and the bosses of Cartoon Network would all be shredded to pieces for airing G Rev at 8.30am!!!
KG2: Too true T-man!
Tyson: You sound like my Gramps!
KG2: Heh Heh, and with that here's chapter 8!
Chapter 8"The Gate of Destiny? What the heck is that?" Tyson asked the question that had been forming in all of their minds. Mia looked at Kai who shrugged and responded,
"The Gate of Destiny is a gateway into alternate destinies for each and every person. It can revive the dead, heal the blind and restore the weary. Basically, someone could form their ideal world if they wanted to. If, for example, Voltaire was able to gets his hands on it he could change the outcome of the match between Tyson and Tala all those years ago. The World as we know it would be completely destroyed by the countless wars and ultimately his domination of the Universe. Hopefully, Voltaire hasn't realised the true potential of The Gate of Destiny and the massive side effects that would come with altering ones destiny."
"Wow. All that power, just hanging around Mariah's neck and she's totally oblivious to it. That's unreal, man." Michael stated, his eyes wide and one hand coming up to run through his dyed locks. (AN: I didn't say a colour because it's been different in the two series' he's been in!) Ray frowned momentarily his thoughts drifting back to Mariah as Michael mentioned her name. He wondered what she was doing and whom she was with. He wondered if she was yearning for him the same way he was for her.
"So basically, Comet and I are sort of your guardians. We're here to protect you... though obviously we were a tad late." Mariah smiled weakly,
"It's okay. I just try and forget what has happened. Can you get me out of here?" Angel grinned,
"Hunny, that's exactly what we're here to do." Comet stood up abruptly and looked over at Angel,
"Someone's coming." Angel frowned and pointed to the ceiling. Comet nodded and the two of them reached down and pressed a button on their boots. Angel jumped up first and instantly stuck to the top of the cell. Comet followed her quickly. Mariah faced the door, hoping it wasn't Billy and Jim, and tried her best to think positive thoughts. She thought about Ray and how Comet and Angel were going to reunite her with him and that quickly brought a smile upon her face. The door edged open slowly and Mariah instantly recognised the voices of Billy and Jim. Her two captors came in and smiled coldly at her.
"How's our little slut doing?" Mariah glared at Jim with all her might and her defiant stare moved onto Billy when Jim came towards her. She risked a glance upward, just in time to see Comet jump down on top of Jim and Angel knocking Billy out. Mariah stared at them for a second and then grinned,
"I owe you guys majorly as of now." The couple grinned,
"We know." Comet grabbed the two unconscious men and effortlessly tossed them over to the other side of the cell.
"Let's get going. We don't have that much time."
Ray was in his room, staring at the picture of Mariah and him in his wallet when he heard a noise outside of his window. It sounded like there were thousands of people there. Frowning he slowly put the wallet away and walked over. Opening the blinds, Ray stared out into the night and felt his jaw drop with what he saw. It was the Biovolt army. They had attacked. They were less than a mile away and, worst of all, The BBA were not prepared in the least.
Mariah grabbed Galux and booted yet another Biovolt soldier in the face. Angel and Comet were up in front and had just told Mariah that the BBA were being attacked again at the All-Stars complex. Holding her Beyblade out in front of her Mariah quickly released Galux and jumped upon her bit-beasts back.
"You okay?" Galux asked, concern in her voice. Mariah smiled,
"I'll live, you?" Galux grinned,
"Fine, ready for some ass-kicking though! You with me?"
"Hell yeah!"
Tyson grabbed Hillary's hand and the two of them ran from the on coming swarm of soldiers, all of whom were set on killing them both. Upon hearing Max and Emily commanding Draciel and Trygator further up the corridor they picked up the pace, Tyson grabbing a gun off a dead Biovolt soldier. Hillary hesitated when he handed it to her, but when a man jumped up behind her she quickly fired, separating his head from his shoulders. Tyson stared at her then laughed and ran on. Over to Tyson's right Kai and Mia appeared, pulling on battle clothes as they ran. Kai and Mia both fired shots into a couple of passing by soldiers' heads and then caught up with the rest of the group.
"This is why they retreated last time, so that they could catch us off guard like this. I can't believe we actually fell for it!" Kai growled and hit the wall beside him causing some of the plaster to come off it. The others glanced nervously among them selves slightly disturbed by the fact that Kai was actually showing emotion, even if it was anger. Mia went over and put a hand on his shoulder, much in the sae way that Kai had done to Ray earlier and said,
"There's nothing we could've done to prevent it, Kai. They fooled us all and even you and I didn't suss what they were up to. Don't beat yourself up about it." Kai tensed for a moment longer then sighed,
"You're right, let's try and get out of here. We're not organised enough to have any chance of pulling this one back. Get everyone you can find and meet... at Robert's. Yeah, meet at Robert's in a week's time. Text Ray to tell him what's going on... oh, and inform Robert that we're all coming to his pad soon. Everyone, make sure you stay in pairs: Tyson and Hillary, Max and Emily, Judy can go with Kenny and Michael with Eddy. Mia and I will go out and hold the enemy off for as long as we safely can. A week's time people."
"What about Mariah?" Emily asked, worry evident in her voice. Kai frowned and rubbed his forehead,
"I'm afraid there's nothing we can do for her now. She's on her own."
The Biovolt force coming towards him was pushing Ray back slowly but surely. He could feel Driger's strength draining away and he knew he had to attempt to make his escape soon. He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, so he brought it out and flipped open the cover. Ray quickly read the message; it was from Max. After he had absorbed the information and replied, Ray jumped upon Driger's back and started looking for an opening in the mass of soldiers that surrounded him. He drove Driger towards a small gap, but froze when he heard a rumble above his head. Ray looked up and was hit by a barricade of boulders, which sent Driger and him skidding across the ground. He could feel his head was bleeding and his vision was starting to blur. He stumbled to his feet only to see a Biovolt soldier fire a shot straight at him. He braced him self for the impact but to his surprise it never came. A guy with blond, spiky hair had grabbed Ray and pulled him aside. Ray heard screams from the Biovolt soldiers as someone tore through their ranks. He had to rub his eyes in disbelief and pinch himself when he saw whom one of the two girls were.
"Mariah?" He managed to croak out. His pink-haired girlfriend spun around, jumped off Galux and ran to hug him. The two of them clung together for what seemed like eternity. Mariah was longing to tell Ray what had gone on while she had been gone and he likewise, but now was neither the time nor the place.
"Baby, we have to go Robert's. It's where the others are gathering a week from now." Mariah nodded and smiled at him.
"Call Driger back to his bit, you can come with me on Galux. I'll have to bandage that head of yours too." Ray nodded and gave her a small peck on the lips,
"I've missed you like mad, Mari."
"Me too, Ray... me too. Now let's go and then we can talk, okay?" Ray nodded as Driger jumped back into his bit. Placing his beyblade back into his pocket, he jumped up onto Galux with Mariah, his arms wrapping themselves protectively around her waist. Comet and Angel ran over to them and Mariah began the introductions.
"Ray, this is Comet and Angel, my unofficial bodyguards and Comet and Angel this is Ray, my boyfriend, the guy that I love." Ray smiled at each of them and they all shook hands. Ray bent his mouth close to Mariah's ear and whispered,
"I love you too, kitten. I always will, no matter what." Mariah turned around and kissed him gently, then laughed,
"Since when did you call me kitten?" Ray smiled,
"Since I lost you." Mariah frowned slightly then smiled,
"All right, Tiger. Comet, Angel lets get outta here!"
The rest of the gang ran out of the All stars centre, their legs sore and their pride shattered. Kai and Mia reappeared a few moments later, another bunch of BBA nobodies trailing them. They would have to re-group now and sooner rather than later tackle the puzzle of The Gate of Destiny, but for now, they would go their separate ways and they would rest. They were all sure that this had been the longest month of their lives and also that it was highly likely that there would be lots more like it to follow.
KG2: So? What does my loyal fans think?
