Chapter 8: Interruption
"Carly, get back here!" Johnny yelled, "Don't you ever listen to orders?? Carly!"
"I'm just going to check out our enemy," Carly said defiantly, rushing outside, "We need to know what we're up against." She disappeared outside.
"Oh Kai!" Kailee cried, "It's horrible, they're killing outside."
"Don't look," Kai instructed, rushing to a window, "Carly! Get back here! Carly, get back here NOW!!!!"
"Oh my," Holly whispered, cringing at the fallen monsters, "Why does there have to be war, people get hurt and no one benefits at all."
"Oh screw you Carly!" Johnny snarled, "You drive me crazy!"
"That looks gruesome," Ray remarked. Willow shuddered and said nothing, looking somber.
"Enrique, where are you going?" Cassandra asked.
"To help Carly!" Enrique said, "Knowing her, she'll probably evoke a fight, she might need a hand."
"I'll come too!" Tala offered.
"Me too," Hru added, jumping after him.
"Don't go Max, stay here, you might get hurt," Kailee begged, hanging on to Max's arm. Both Max and Kai sweatdropped.
"I don't think I can go out
there yet," Holly murmured, "I don't want to hurt anyone."
Johnny watched anxiously as Carly climbed the steep hill. "Oh, be careful Carly!" Kailee cried.
"I thought the Guardian told us to stay here," Willow called, "We don't know how to harness our powers yet!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Oh...my...Lord..." Carly breathed, staring at the mass disarray, "Now I know what Johnny meant when he said that war was disaster." Behind her, she heard several sharp gasps of shock. "What are you guys doing here?"
"I came to check up on you!" Enrique exclaimed.
"No thanks, I don't need a savoir yet," Carly muttered.
"Why should you get all the fun?" Tala asked, looking as if he was eager to fight, "I want to teach these creeps a lesson."
"I'm not sure that I'd call this fun," Hru objected, "It looks pretty brutal."
"I'm with Tala," Carly said, "I want to fight, that's what we're here for after all!"
They watched as the Guardian sent a whooping amount of monsters flying in the air with her staff. Then they heard a creepy voice.
"Kill her...and be done with it! Nothing shall stand between me and the power that awaits me," a voice hissed.
"I have goose bumps," Enrique muttered, "And I think my knees are shaking too!
"I'd love to show that guy a thing or two!" Carly said, slinging on her quiver of arrows.
"Wait," Hru said as Tala advanced, "The Guardian told us to stay back there, shouldn't we listen?"
"Look!" Carly cried.
A large hideous looking creature stormed out and swept the Guardian down with a brief sweep of its arm.
"She wasn't kidding when she said that the evil was strong," Enrique remarked.
Carly wasn't listening, "Oh no! Guardian of Dimensions!" She started to run towards the battlefield.
"I'm going with her!" Tala exclaimed.
"Do we have much of a choice?" Hru asked Enrique, "Johnny would probably have our heads if anything happened to Carly."
Enrique laughed nervously, "You haven't even seen him angry yet." They ran after Tala.
"Guardian," Carly rushed over, "Are you okay?"
"I thought I told you to stay put," the Guardian scolded weakly, struggling up, "The evil just gets stronger and stronger with every passing day. It's too much for me on my own."
"That's what we're here for, isn't it?" Carly asked.
"Yes, it is," the Guardian said, "But you haven' t learned how to properly harness your powers yet!"
"It can't be that hard," Tala said, loading up his lazer gun and firing at the ugly monster. His lazer beams smashed right into the monster's face.
"All right, you're the man!" Carly whooped, patting Tala on the back.
The monsters all started charging towards them.
Hru paled, "Oh my gosh, what now?"
"Run?" Enrique suggested.
"No, "Carly said, "If we run those creeps will get to the palace and if they destroy the machine before we all generated our powers, we're finished." She twirled around and shot out ice from the palm of her hand. Ice swirled and froze half of the invaders.
Enrique took out his Beyblade, "That's it, I'm not going to use my powers, but Amphilyon will just have to do. Let it RIP!!!"
"Go Akala!" Hru called.
The two blades spun out and the Bit Beasts emerged, swallowing the rest of the invading monsters with their massive attacks.
"Now," Tala fired his lazer gun directly at the large monster's face.
Carly fitted an arrow in her longbow and pulled it back, squinting to take aim and letting her arrow pierce into the monster's chest. With a howl of rage, the monster disintegrated into dissolved particles.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Carly, I'm going to tie you down if it makes you listen to me for once!" Johnny hollered, looking furious, "You could've been killed."
"Tala and I killed the ugly monster and Hru and Enrique defeated the rest of the army with their Bit Beasts, that wasn't too hard," Carly said, looking pleased, "It was soooo cool how my ice powers swirled before taking form, soooo cool!"
Johnny looked furious enough to choke, his amethyst eyes flashed and he was spluttering in rage.
"You killed them?" Holly gasped.
"You mean they're dead?" Kailee squealed.
"That's sooo cruel," Willow cried.
Hru stared at them in disbelief, "They would've killed us without a second thought."
"Two wrongs don't make a right," Holly said, looking upset, "We have to kill?"
"It's them or us," Carly said, shrugging, "There's no way I'm going to spare those ugly, good-for-nothing, freak shows who only want power to rule. It's soooo disgusting and I hate it!"
"I know some of you prefer to be peaceful as opposed to all-out war," the Guardian said, "But I'm afraid that you don't have much of a choice. Hru and Carly both made excellent points, those monsters have no heart or soul, they're just machines for killing, either we go or they will."
"Couldn't we let them go or purify them or something?" Kailee's voice quivered, "Without killing them?"
"You heard the Guardian," Kai said, "It's necessary, I won't let anyone get in my way."
The Guardian nodded at Enrique, Hru, Tala, and Carly, "I appreciate your wanting to help and coming after me when I was in trouble. Especially you two, Carly and Tala, but you must be careful of your actions, don't be too rash or it may cost you."
"I'm not too rash," Tala scoffed, "I know what I'm doing."
Carly was too busy trying to coax Johnny out of his bad mood to answer, "Come on buddy, don't be such a sour lemon, I'm fine and not to mention I kicked butt as well."
That only made Johnny madder, "THAT'S NOT THE POINT, YOU COULD'VE DIED!!!!!!!!!"
Carly backed away, frowning, "I think he's mad."
Holly stared at her in disbelief, "You think?"
"Thankfully, their plans have been foiled once again and the Dream Realm is safe, for the time-being," the Guardian said, "Come now, we should finish giving you powers."
"I'll go next," Kai said, stepping in, "It felt boring not having one when Carly and Tala could fight so well."
-------Flash-------
* ~ * Kai's Destiny * ~ *
"The power of Thunder..." Kai's mind filled with images of dark clouds and lightning, thunderbolts striking every now and then.
"The Thunder Kingdom is rightfully yours...."
"You shall wield a broadsword...powerful and fearless..."
"Dranzer will guide you through hard times..." Images of Kai's magnificent phoenix Bit Beast flashed in his mind.
"And your squire will also aid you in whatever way it can..." A yellow egg flashed.
"You will overcome Water with ease..." Images of thunder shocking water waves flashed.
"But beware of Earth..." Thunder struck down on the earth rocks, but had no effect.
"You are fearless and independent, but nevertheless, no matter how independent one is, one will always require the aid of his friends, for that is the code of a brave warrior..."
-------End of Flash-------
"Kai?" Holly stepped forward, "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah," Kai shook his head, looking at Holly strangely, "Fine, don't worry." He shook his head to clear it, "That last part was confusing." Anyways, he dragged up his silver sword, it had a much bigger blade than Holly's and looked about ten times heavier as well, "Oof, how am I gonna carry this?"
Kailee hugged her brother, "I don't wanna do this, it's scary!!!!! Kai!"
Kai pulled away, "Kailee!" To his shock, sparks of electricity streamed out of his fingertips and zapped the wall.
"KAI!!!!!!!!!" Kailee cried.
"Sorry sis, I wasn't aiming for you, honest," Kai protested.
"Johnny will go next!" Carly announced, shoving her friend in the machine, "Maybe it'll cure his bad mood!"
"Hey!" Johnny yelped, "Carly, I'm gonna kill-"
Hru tapped Carly's shoulder, "You do know that Johnny's furious with you, right?"
Carly nodded, "Oh I know all right, and the best way to win him back is to act real cheerful and innocent and talk a hell of lot until Johnny finally tells me to shut up, then I know he's not mad at me anymore."
-------Flash-------
* ~ * Johnny's Destiny * ~ *
"The power of Astro..." Johnny's mind filled with images of comets and asteroids floating in space with stars spinning in midair.
"The Astro Kingdom is rightfully yours...."
"You shall wield an axe...reckless and mighty..."
"Salamulyon will guide you through hard times..." Images of Johnny's cunning salamander Bit Beast flashed in his mind.
"And your squire will also aid you in whatever way it can..." A navy blue egg flashed.
"You will overcome Psychic with ease..."
"But beware of Spirit..."
"You are reckless in many ways, but for things you do not understand, you fear to take a stand, follow your heart and keep after what you desire..."
-------End of Flash-------
"You look like you're seen a ghost," Carly teased Johnny, "Come on, whatever you saw can't have been much different from me!"
Johnny glared, "Carly, don't you ever shut-" As Johnny raised his hand and stars flew out of his palm and whizzed past Carly. Carly ducked right in time, the stars slammed into the wall and grinded into it violently.
"Johnny!" Carly squeaked, looking shocked.
"Sorry," Johnny said sheepishly, "I have Astro Power."
"I can tell," Carly said wryly, looking hard at the wall, "And an axe as well."
Johnny brightened, "Yeah! It's even lighter than the one I have at home, and it's twice as sharp too!" He twirled the silver and gold weapon expertly in his hand.
"Ah, so NOW you're starting to believe this stuff, huh?" Carly teased him, "I thought that you-"
"Carly – SHUT UP!" Johnny yelled, covering his ears, "You're driving me crazy!"
Carly smiled and turned to Hru, "See? He's not mad at me anymore."
"My turn," Ray said, stepping in, shaking his head, "Let's see what it has in store for me."
-------Flash-------
* ~ * Ray's Destiny * ~ *
"The power of Fire..." Ray's mind filled with images of fireballs and firestorms...
"The Fire Kingdom is rightfully yours...."
"You shall wield a two-headed spear...determined yet cautious..."
"Driger will guide you through hard times..." Images of Ray's ferocious tiger Bit Beast flashed in his mind.
"And your squire will also aid you in whatever way it can..." A red egg flashed.
"You will overcome Ice with ease..." Images of fire melting ice flashed.
"But beware of Water..." A huge tide swept over him and put out the flames.
"You are compassionate, as well as resolute, these are wonderful qualities, but learn to make your own decisions instead of going with everyone else's, for their destiny is not yours..."
-------End of Flash-------
As Ray stepped out, tiny flames of fire flew from his palm, "Whoa."
"Oh my gosh, the couch is on fire!" Willow cried.
The Guardian put it out swiftly, "No worry, I will teach you to control your powers."
"Sorry," Ray said, smiling weakly, "That was awesome, look at my spear." He stuck out the two-headed spear. (for those of you who don't know what that is, it's a spear with a handle with blades on either end of it)
Willow backed up, "Watch where you point that thing."
"Go in, go in!" Ray urged, "It's no big deal."
"Fine fine," Willow grumbled, "I really don't want to kill anyone though..."
-------Flash-------
* ~ *Willow's Destiny * ~ *
"The power of Darkness..." Willow's mind filled with images searing blackness...
"The Dark Kingdom is rightfully yours...."
"You shall wield a staff...noble and true..."
"Marina will guide you through hard times..." Images of Willow's powerful leopard Bit Beast flashed in her mind.
"And your squire will also aid you in whatever way it can..." A black egg flashed.
"You will overcome Light with ease...but beware of the Light as well, for you are each other's greatest enemies" Images Light and Darkness struggling against one another flashed.
"Being compassionate as you are, you have many friends and many would willingly aide you in times of need, however, you must learn to depend on yourself once in a while, independence is still necessary..."
-------End of Flash-------
Willow tumbled out, holding a long staff in one hand and an egg in the other, "I have Dark powers, isn't that evil?" She looked worried, "I'm not evil am I?"
Ray hugged her reassuringly, "Of course not."
"Darkness is not the same as evil," the Guardian said sternly, "Darkness balances the Light and both are important, there cannot be total light, it would be unnatural and the balance would be disturbed. Though Evil and Darkness are both black, evil will destroy while Darkness only exists to balance Light."
"I have Light, does that mean we're the complete opposite of each other?" Holly asked.
Both girls giggled.
"Who's left?" the Guardian asked.
"There's my sister," Kai said, scowling as Kailee hid behind him, "Kailee, it doesn't hurt you, I promise!"
"I'll go then," Cassandra offered, "Just let me finish my roll." She gulped down her roll and drank some water, "All right ready."
