It's me again! Here's chapter three. Also thanks for all the reviews. I added a paragraph in chapter two. Also I have a problem with describing things my sis is better at that than me. I'm sorry. I guess that's why she gets better grades in her writing test things.
Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade or of the characters.
Chapter three: Land HO!
Ray strived to get to the water's surface. His heart pounded against his chest. His lungs disparately wanted air. Mariah's weight continued to pull him down.
His vision began to become blurry. "Is this the end?" he asked himself as he floated in the sea. Then he remembered the girl he held. "No! I can't give up! I have to make it! I WILL make it for Mariah's sake!" He thought to himself.
The surface was nearer now. With his reminding strength he swam to it. His struggle made him more fatigue but he had to get there!
Finally with one last stroke he touched the surface. Ray pulled himself up so he could breath in, the something he had longed for, air. He gasped in deep breaths trying to regain a normal pace of breathing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the same time the rest of the bladers had their own battle against the sea, as they tried to reach the surface. The ocean's waters were strong, making it hard to beat against them.
Tyson swam pulling his exhausted body up toward the surface. Knowing in his heart that his friends might not all make it. But he hoped they did. "For my friends sake I must make it! Please everyone be ok."
Behind the boy were Hilary and Kenny. They were even more tired than Tyson. They were not use to such harsh conditions of exercise. But they continued to strive and confront the mighty waters.
Max was way ahead of the others. "Almost there," he thought. A few more strokes and the young boy had made it to the surface. He breathed in air and signed in relief. He looked down at the blue, swaying waters. "Come on guys! Where are you?" He prayed to himself silently. Max turned to look around, as he did a sharp pain surged across the back of his head. His vision became no more than a blur as he drifted into an unconscious state.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ray pulled the unconscious girl toward him. "Mariah…!"
He looked around for some place he could rest. He heard someone cry, "LAND HO!" It was no doubt Tyson.
His eyes tried to trace the voice to its source. He saw Tyson. He was with Hilary and Kenny. They were swimming to the shore. Kenny looked petrified.
Ray dragged Mariah toward the shore. When he reached it he placed Mariah's limb body on the land. (I can't resist doing this.) He pulled himself up onto the shore but lost his footing and plunged backwards into the water. He tried again this time making it. He looked around wondering where Mariah was. "Don't tell me…" He thought. He sighed she had fallen back into the water and was now floating away and sinking below the surface. He drove in and caught her.
Ray finally managed to pull Mariah and him self onto the shore. He quickly turned all his attention to the girl beside him. He checked her pulse. And then put his ear to her chest. She wasn't breathing!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile Tyson, Hilary, and Kenny where fighting their way to the island's shore. The waves were harsh, making their struggle even more challenging. Finally they made it. They crawled onto the beach and flopped their bodies on the sandy shores. Relief spread across their faces while exhaustion engulfed their worn out bodies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ray knew he had to do CPR to revive her. He pressed his hands to her chest and pushed; trying to revive Mariah with chest compressions. She still lied on the sandy wet shore lifeless.
He know there was only one other thing to do. "No!" He thought, "Not that! But it's the only way. I have too!" He leaned his face closer to hers. He squeezed her nose. Sweat dripped down his face. "I can do this." He touched her lips with his and blew into her mouth. "I can't believe I just did that!" He checked to see if she was breathing. Nothing. He tried it again. Still nothing.
"Come on Mariah!" He thought. He repeated the process two more times. Finally her body jerked. "Mariah!" He cried. She turned to her side. She began coughing up water.
"Thank God!" Ray thought.
Mariah looked at him. "Ray? She said in a confused voice, what happened?"
"Our plane crashed into the ocean," Ray explained, "and I pulled you onto the beach."
Mariah stared at Ray. He looked very tired and worn out. "Thank you," she said.
Ray felt his cheeks turn red. He turned his head for she couldn't see his face. "It was nothing."
Mariah gasped. "But where's everyone else?" She asked. She frantically looked around, showing for the others.
"So this is what you do when I'm not around," said a voice from above them.
Ray and Mariah looked up. It was Tyson who had made the remark. He was with Hilary and Kenny. The boy's face could be seen, glazing down at the two. He had a stupid grin on as he watched Ray and Mariah. The two blushed. Hilary glared at Tyson.
"So what's up?" Tyson asked.
"You," Ray answered sarcastically.
"Funny," Tyson said. He jumped down from off the little cliff and rejoined his friend.
"Where's everyone else?" questioned Ray.
"We don't know," Hilary answered as she climbed down the slope, "We haven't found anyone but you guys."
Ray looked at Kenny. Then he turned and whispered to Tyson, "Kenny can swim?"
"'It surprised me, too. I didn't think he could either." The two boys shrugged. "But as soon as we got out of that plane he was swimming like a fish. I never had seen the guy move so fast!" Tyson quietly said to Ray, almost in a whisper.
Just then bubbles arose from the water. They where few at first but quickly grow in numbers. Tyson curiously walked over to where the bubbles were coming from. He shared down at the water. A shadow-like silhouette appeared on the surface of the water. All of a sudden a head poked out of the ocean! "AAAAAAAAHHH!!!! It's the Creature from the Black Lagoon!" the frightened boy screamed.
"Tyson, this isn't a lagoon!" Hilary cried.
"Oh, yeah. AH! Swamp Thing!"
"A familiar voice ruddily said, "This isn't a swamp, either."
"Ok, Kai, how 'bout this, " AHHHH, Sea Monster! He pointed to the creature, which was a fellow team mate of his, as he screamed. Everyone sweat dropped, including the new arrival.
"Huh, wait a sec, Kai!" Tyson realized the Sea Monster was actually Kai, one of Tyson's best friends and fellow member of the Blade Breakers. "You're alive!" he shouted.
"And you would think other wise?" Kai bluntly said.
"Oh, well… of course your alive. No monster would dare to try to kill you. You would be the one doing the Killing." He went on, "how could I ever think you would be dead. I mean this IS Kai after all. Aha ha ha ha!" He laughed, sweat dropping.
"Kai sighed, "Well we better start searching for everyone else." Kai staggered forward, holding his left upper arm with his right hand.
Everyone agreed. Thus began their pursuit to find their missing companions.
To be continued…
Ok now they're on the island. But where's the others? And who ambushed the plane? Keep reading to find out! Review! Ja'ne!
