Me: Reviews!!!

CS: *scratches head* I can't believe it…

SilveryKitsune: Why do you want my bio? Yeah, sure I'll send it. You're appearing in this chapter. Hope you like!

Hades of hades: ;__; Mou, poor you. ^__^ I go to boarding school, so they can't forbid me to use the comp!

Morgana Magi Lady of Light: Yes, you can be in it, but you might come in later on. If I get the time, I'll mail you. But I think I already have your bio somewhere…

Angevar: No comment necessary. Anything you need to say, you can tell me in dorm.

nessi: I rarely get the chance to send mail, so I would appreciate it if you sent it to me.

White Dog: Hmmm….why don't you read and see how I've portrayed you. If you don't like it, I can always change it.

Arashi Doragon: O__O No need to cry. I was planning to give you a part anyway, so no worries!! Send me a bio and I'll do the rest!

Yukiko-Angel: Sure! I'll put you in.

Aquenze: Ummm…you'll be there too. But expect your appearance to show up in the third chapter. And I've read your fic. Really nice!

THE AUTHOR ADVENTURE
BY TIMBERWOLF220

DISCLAIMER: It's kinda obvious, but I'll say it to refresh your memory. I don't own Beyblade. Capish?

Chapter Two

Outbreak

"Sooooo…." Angevar trailed off, not wanting to antagonize me. I was in a foul mood the whole day and knowing the world was going to come to an end in my lifetime really didn't help matters.

"What?!" I snapped at her.

She held her hands up in surrender, "Mind not snapping at me so much?"

I sighed, "Sorry. Bit tense, that's all."

She cocked an eyebrow at me, "A bit tense? I would be too if the world was going to be attacked by Anime characters."

I grinned sheepishly. It was a scenario that would have been absurdly funny if it hadn't been so dangerous.

"Come to think of it, isn't Rumi and her pals coming today?" Angevar said, sidling by me. I nodded indiscreetly.

Another person sidled by me, "Hey."

"Hey Schez," I said nonchalantly. Schez was one of my odd ball friends with the weirdest senses of humour I've ever met. And being best friends with Angevar, that's saying a lot.

He smiled at me and gave me a strange look, "You seemed kinda stressed. Something wrong?"

Yes. The portal is open. That's what.

Angevar jumped in for the save, "Just studies and all."

He glanced at me.

"Yeah," I said, looking up, "Just….stuff…"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

We weren't the only one who noticed that something was wrong. Tasara apparently warned everyone in a dream of the incoming disaster. She also said we had to find who did it and stop them. She had no power over the situation.

She really knows how to cheer up a person, doesn't she?

It was chaos in my opinion. Fics were stopped; people stopped visiting the Beyblade section. All categories were shut down due to 'technical difficulties'.

Yeah, right. Technical difficulties, my ass.

It was because the portal had opened.

Other changes were appearing as well. I had become slimmer, my hair was turning a deeper shade of black and red and my eyes began to change colour. Angevar's changes weren't so noticeable, but we noticed and we knew.

It was because the portal had opened.

As Chosen, we are given personalities to suit the Category we write. However, our 'fictional self' is very unlike our 'real self'. But with the portal open, we can access our powers and our bit-beasts.

Which we couldn't do before.

So there is an upside to all this. We get magical powers. Isn't that great?

…

Whatever.

"I'd wish he would hurry up," Angevar said, glaring at Mr. Lyle.

It was Religious Assembly and we were bored out of our minds. Schez had already passed out, allowing me and Angevar to 'decorate' his hair.

He's going to kill us when he wakes up.

…

Yeah, right. Schez couldn't hurt a fly even if he tried.

"…Today we have some 'special' guests here…."

I jerked my head. Special guests?

"…Please welcome them!"

Angevar looked mildly suspicious as well.

Five teens stepped out from the shadows. First was a girl with below shoulder length brown hair and sparkling amber eyes. Another was a guy with ginger-brown hair and sharp blue eyes and another girl with silver hair and blue eyes. Another guy stepped out with black hair and grey eyes. The last girl had blackish-purple hair and saffron eyes.

"Thank you for having us today," Said the first girl, "Let me introduce myself. I am Rumi Uede."

Rumi? It's her!!!

"Know what you're thinking," Angevar said, her face lighting up, "She made it!!"

I nodded, too happy to speak. Plus, I wasn't much of a talker anyway.

"This is my friend…" She hesitates, pointing to the guy with ginger hair, "Whi—,"

"Call me Spike," He said, cutting her off. He smiled winningly causing some girls to faint in the vicinity.

"Definitely White Dog," I murmured appreciatively.

 Angevar shot me a humorous glance, "The guy who invented clothes that caused traffic jams."

I smiled.

The white-haired girl drove her elbow into Whi—Spike's stomach, "Ignore my brother. He's retarded," She explained, causing Rumi to burst into giggles and Will to glare at her.

She beamed at the audience, "I'm Silver."

Of course. Silvery Kitsune. I should have realized.

The tall guy with messy black hair and piercing grey eyes stepped forward, "Arnar." He didn't say anymore.

Ah, another non-talker.

The last girl stepped forward, "Leila. No description needed."

Goodie goodie gumdrops!!! Little Leila's here!!!

If she can turn Kai into a hamster, she can definitely help us out.

"We're on a conference for a couple of weeks on…. Petitions," Rumi ignored the blushes coming from the group behind her, "Questions are appreciated."

There was silence.

Mr. Lyle cleared his throat, "You're dismissed."

The students didn't need another dismissal. Pretty soon, the hall was desolate.

The only people left were Rumi and the rest, Angevar and me. Schez went to 'wash his hair'.

Poor guy.

"Rumi-chan," I said coolly.

"Timberwolf220," She said, smiling at me, "I recognized you a mile away."

Spike rolled his eyes, "She was counting eeny-meeny-miiny-mo to figure it out."

Silver decided it was time to make her brother suffer.

"OUCH!!! That's my hair!!"

Angevar chuckled, "Glad to see you Silver. Or should I say, Silvery Kitsune?"

She grinned while yanking out tufts of Will's hair, "Silver will do."

Will winced, "Crazy Onna. Leave my hair out of this!!!"

"Oh, but it's so much fun to hear you scream in pain."

"And they say girls are gentle," He muttered under his breath. He glanced at us and smirked, "You must have figured it out already considering the dead giveaway Rumi did for my 'name'"

Rumi blushed, "Well, what was I supposed to do?!" She protested.

"Give a proper name perhaps," His voice scathingly sweet.

"I get stage fright."

"Yeah right. See? You can't even make up a decent excuse. I'm sure Timmy there could do better," He jerked his thumb at me.

I blushed involuntarily and smiled at him, "You give me too much credit."

Angevar snickered, "Now she'll be boasting about it all day." I glared at her.

Leila smirked at us before her expression hardened, "Now is not the time for petty games. We'll meet again afterwards, since you guys have school."

I glanced at my watch and my eyes expanded bigger than dinner plates.

"AHHHH!!!!!! I'M LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I glared at all of them.

They gave me incredibly false grins.

I didn't stop glaring.

Rumi started to shudder.

Angevar sighed and whacked the back of my head, "Stop that. You're scaring them."

I turned my glare at her.

"Look, one tardy isn't going to kill you."

"No, but my dad is going to."

"He wouldn't."

"Do you know how terrifying he is when it comes to stuff like this?"

"The world is going to be attacked and you're worried about tardies?!"

I sighed and brushed my black/red hair off my face, "Point taken."

"Does this mean, no more glaring?" Rumi asked timidly.

"You wish."

Silver smiled at them and clapped her hands together, "You guys made up!!! I'm so happy for you!!!"

We all turned dot eyes at Silver. Arnar or Hades of Hades included.

Silver sweatdropped, "I was being sarcastic."

We all said 'ah' and turned back to more important matters.

"Do you guys have your bit-beasts?"

Rumi nodded as she pulled out Crewger. Silver pulled out her water kitsune bit-beast Doro. Will had his bloodhound Malevolence and Leila had her bit-beast Fenrir. Arnar looked a little disgruntled but relenting finally took out his three headed dog bit-beast Cerre.

"Anything else?" I prompted. It was good to get an inventory of what we had.

Angevar's eyes turned golden brown for a second, "I have the Inherited."

I nodded. Inherited are gifted elemental powers that come from the Bit-beast's bond. I wrote about them so naturally I had it already. Angevar's OC character had it as well so that could explain why Angevar had it as well.

The others tried focusing on their Inherited, but only Rumi, Silver and Leila got them for they had submitted OCs to my story.

The guys groaned in anger.

"Why do the girls get the cool powers?" Will muttered. Arnar was scowling as well, but didn't make his argument verbal.

I shrugged, "Sorry."

An idea sparked in my head, "Hey Arnar? Didn't your team have magical powers?"

Arnar thought for a moment and nodded.

"Then you should have those powers too."

Arnor closed his eyes and opened them for a moment. They were pulsating a red aura everywhere. Then it winked out and he gave me a grin.

Spike was still grumbling, "Great. Now I'm the only one without cool powers."

Silver put an arm around him, "Ah don't worry bro'. You still have the power of humour."

Spike threw his sister an ugly look and she ducked his punch.

"What about you two?" Leila queried.

I gave her an evil grin and pointed to a tree in the vicinity. They followed my gaze and the tree base was slowly was encased in ice.

"Woah…" Spike said, awed by the power.

"Angy?" I prompted.

Angevar slammed her fist on the ground, resulting in a long jagged crack in the ground, about ten feet deep.

Rumi whistled appreciatively, "Wish I could do that. Ah, think of the possibilities!!"

"What possibilities?" Silver asked, curious.

"The possibilities of sending my school to the bottom of the Earth."

We laughed at that.

Then it was time to get serious.

"Who do you think makes the cutest couple, Tyson and Kai or Max and Ray?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Cold dreams.

Filled with nightmares.

Don't let them come in!!!

The nightmares are pouring in.

Cold dreams.

A cry for help.

Some many of them…

The gold dagger gleams menacingly.

The time has come…

The portal is open.

I gasped from my bed, and put a hand on my chest.

Ye Gods, what a dream…

I got up from my bed and decided to head towards the washbasins and wash off the sweat. I took the towel and wiped my face and looked up to the mirror and—

--saw the gold dagger creeping towards her. Her face was pale and a shriek rose from her throat.

Blood spilt. Spread over her eyes.

She didn't stop screaming.

Cries.

Cries of pain.

A snicker was heard.

And the gold dagger moved.

--I ran to my room and buried my head into my pillow.

I'm pretty sure I had an idea what was going to happen.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

They all winced.

"Pretty gory if you ask me," Spike said, rubbing the back of his forehead.

I ignored him, "I think I know how the portal opened."

That grabbed their attention.

"How?" Leila demanded, "Tasara never let us access this kind of information, even when we tried!"

"You tried to open the portal Leila?!" Rumi said snickering.

Leila blushed, "Yeah, but I didn't succeed, remember?"

"Why did you want to do it anyway?" Angevar asked, "Any specific reason?"

Leila grinned evilly and we snickered, "Well, there was this little 'potion' I wanted to slip into Kai's drink," She said, twisting a lock from her hair.

Angevar and the rest of us laughed our heads off and even Arnar seemed amused.

Once the giggles were brought under control, we started looking grim.

"So how was the portal opened?" Silver asked.

My eyes turned misty, "There are Five Main Chosen. Action/Adventure, Angst, Romance, Tragedy and Humour. But one of these has been…. disturbed."

"In other words, killed," Rumi said grimly. They all turned green.

"Not the kind of news I was expecting from a bunch of yaoi fangirls," Spike commented, scrunching his nose up.

Silver pulled his hair, "And one hard-core yaoi fanboy," She said dryly, tugging his hair.

"ONNA!!! LEAVE MY HAIR ALONE!!!"

"MAKE ME!!!!!!"

"WHAT HAS MY HAIR EVER DONE TO YOU??!!!!!!!"

 "It's a great way of making you shut up," Rumi muttered under her breath.

Spike glared at them and edged closer to Arnar. Arnar cocked an eyebrow at him, but didn't say anything. Spike sweatdropped and stuck his tongue out at his sister who was out of hair-pulling range.

Everyone sweatdropped.

And these people were here to save the world.

Two words.

We're doomed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"All I can say is that we should be thankful for this day…"

We all groaned in boredom.

It was the Tuesday Easter Assembly and there wasn't much to enjoy.

…

I mean, we don't even get chocolate eggs to eat!!! ;___; Such a tragedy.

Schez was snoring already and Angevar plugged his nose with cotton wool.

"…That we have been blessed on this occasion…"

Kami-sama, I think God is regretting ever saving us. These 'Thanks to the Lord' speeches were bloody long and tiring.

Then a screen fell down and a film started rolling about what Good Friday meant to people. Angevar let out a silent hiss and I grit my teeth in frustration.

Then a hole was punched through the screen. The film stopped rolling and there was silence.

I shook Angevar and she regarded me sleepily. Then her cloudy blue eyes widened and she swore in Japanese.

There was a tall dark figure at the Hall entrance. I squinted, but I couldn't make out the features. He was wearing a deep red mask. My worry increased and then I saw a gold dagger in his hand.

"Crap, crap, crap, crap," I began swearing fervently as I pulled Angevar and myself below the chairs (A/N: Picture a hall filled with plastic chairs and a stage with risers. That's what it looks like)

Angevar peeked upwards and saw the dagger. Her eyes grew wide and she ducked down again.

"Who is that?" She demanded.

I shook my head and glared at her, "How should I know?"

"He has the dagger!!"

"So?"

Angevar raised her hands in frustration. I placed my palms on the floor. Water started to leak from my palms and make its way towards the entrance.

Meanwhile, my school was in an uproar.

"Who are you? This happens to be a private school assembly," Mr. Lyle stated harshly.

I winced. Not a very nice way of putting it…

The tall guy threw the dagger. It gutted Mr. Lyle faster than you can say TyKa.

I swallowed as I saw Mr. Lyle's body collapse. Angevar let out a strangled groan.

Yeah, we all have fantasies of killing our teachers off, but we never expected it to happen now, did we?

My palm began to glow. I tried to block out the screams coming from the hall.

The sight of Mr. Lyle's body on the ground…

Oh God…

We can die…

"I'm looking for someone," The man rasped out. Somehow his voice cut through the hysterics in the hall and everyone was silent. I could hear their breathing though. Rapid and scared, like that of a rabbit caught in a trap.

Then I realized, it was my breathing.

Angy was in no better condition.

"Their aliases are…Angevar and Timberwolf220. I believe they go to school here," My palm glowed with more urgency, "Tell me where they are and I'll leave you all alive. You do not concern me."

Angevar snorted angrily, "Yeah right. That line is said in so many movies. Who bets it's a lie?"

"Not necessarily,"  I said, "He could leave them alive. He's right. They have no powers. They aren't Chosen."

Angevar shot me a blatant look then saw what I was doing and grinned, "On the count of three."

I glanced and saw that my little 'river' had reached the guy. I shut my eyes, "Ready."

"One…two…THREE!!!!!!!!"

My eyes opened and crackled with power. The river froze…

…And froze the ankles of the guy.

My river discreetly reached the guy. And I can freeze water…

Angevar got up, shot the guy a cocky grin and threw her fist at him. They were ten feet apart, but the force of Angevar's powers sent a ripple of rock at the guy and sent him flying outside.

Angevar chuckled and wiped her hands, "Not so tough anymore are you?"

I got up and grabbed her wrist, "We have to go!!"

She looked at me, "What are you saying? We beat him!!"

I noticed all our teachers and students sent us horrified looks. I sweatdropped.

This is definitely going to be on my permanent record. Schez who had woken up from his little snooze was totally enthusiastic, "Cool!!! You guys are superheroes, right?"

My sweatdrop grew bigger.

However, a sheet of flame covered the entrance. Angevar's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates. Out of the flames stepped the man.

" 'He's gone' 'We've defeated him'" I said mimicking her voice. I got into a fighting stance (A/N: I did Karate since I was five ^^*)

"Shut up," Angevar said tersely.

The guy gave us a sly grin and got into his stance and beckoned to us.

We gasped in indignation.

"He's copying Neo!"

"That's it Mister. Nobody disses the Matrix!!!" (A/N: You know the pose Neo takes before a battle? That one. ¬_¬** No one disses the Matrix!!)

 He raised his hand and sent whirls of flame on me. On the double, I put up my shield. I winced.

Ice and Fire do not mix.

"Angevar!!! Some help here!!" I felt my knees slowly give way.

Angevar clapped her hands and a boulder appeared in her hands. She flung it at his head and cheered when it hit….

…Only to see it crack on his head and fall in two pieces when it reached the ground.

"We're in trouble," She muttered darkly as he came closer.

"No, you think?" I shot back, projecting the ice shield that was getting melted, "Make the walking volcano bug someone else!!!"

Meanwhile, our fellow students were cheering for us.

"Yeah Alia (Timberwolf220)!!!!!!! Show them how to do it!!!!"

"Teach this guy not to mess with our school!!!"

"Is Allison (Angevar) and Alia mutants?"

"You dummy!!! X-Men are comic book!!"

"Then where did they get their powers?"

"….Search me?"

Finally, my shield gave way and I found myself colliding with the risers. My world grew dark, but I was still in focus.

Angevar was in a similar state. No matter, what she threw at the guy, he always came back.

Angevar was being pushed into the corner as the flamethrowers steadily overpowered her and she collapsed from fatigue.

The man walked up to the dead body of Mr. Lyle and pulled the dagger out.

And made his way towards us.

I groaned, trying to focus. He was going to kill us! But I couldn't even move…

He grinned maniacally and the dagger rose…

…To see an iron claw clamped onto his arm and fling him against the wall.

"Not so tough, are you Mystery Man?" Rumi said smugly, solidifying her arm back to normal. Meanwhile, Spike was helping Angevar up and Silver was pulling me out of the risers.

The teachers' eyes grew so wide they could hold playgrounds in there.

I don't they were expecting their privileged 'guests' being just like me and
Angy.

Bummer.

Oh well…

"Spike!" Leila commanded, "Cover us in smog!"

Spike's eyes grew chilling ebony and we were engulfed in a black mist.

I groaned and straightened up, "Got to hand it to you. You guys have great timing."

Rumi grinned, "Don't mention it. Arnar there sensed something unsettling, so we thought we could ask you and find out."

Spike continued, "And when we reached, we saw your hall lit up like the Fourth of July," He then added his grin, "We thought we might join in the fun."

"Fun, huh?" I muttered under my breath, giving him an evil eye, "How come you have powers? I thought you didn't."

Spike gave a cough, "Yeah, well we realized that anyone with a bit-beast automatically get powers, so here I am."

Angevar grinned and shot a look at the fog surrounding us, "How long does this smog last? I don't want to meet that guy headlong again."

Rumi smirked evilly and solidified her arm into a silver mallet, "Are you sure about that?"

Spike gave the mallet a dark look and turned away. Note to self: never get on Rumi's bad side.

Silver's eyes turned a smooth pale blue and she conjured a sphere filled with water, "Ready."

Arnar closed his eyes and a large blood-soaked axe appeared. He gripped the handle tightly, his knuckles white, "Ready."

Leila folded her arms across her chest and twin knives came into existence with dark orange handles and the crest of a wolf.

I held out my hand as my katana appeared while Angevar settled for a simple Earth sword.

"About time," Spike muttered as the fog vanished.

The man was up and he seemed mystified at the way we just popped up again. Then he tossed his head back and laughed. It was the kind of laughter that made your hopes sag down in fear and defeat.

The teachers were gibbering. Here were seven teens that had very nasty weapons in their hands and you know what they said?

"You're not old enough to be playing with knives!!"

Needless to say, in a death and life situation, we still had time to face fault and sweatdrop.

The man released his flame spiral attack again. However, Silver's sphere rose above our hands and extinguished the attack. I let out a sigh of relief.

Fire was not my favourite element.

 Angevar grinned, "Not so tough now, are you?" She lunged at him.

I had to admit, he was quick.

He dodged her blow, caught her wrist and sent her spiraling into the wall.

We just stood there.

"Ouch…" Silver muttered, wincing as Angevar emerged from her beating.

Rumi came forward and swung her mallet at him. Then something interesting happened.

His form began to blur so fast, Rumi couldn't see him. So she swung her mallet blindly.

It almost came close to knocking Leila's head off.

"Hey! Watch that thing!" Arnar shouted as Rumi's mallet struck again.

"I can't catch him! We need him to slow down!" She yelled back.

I grinned evilly and slammed my palms on the floor. Immediately the whole floor froze.

The man skidded to a halt and was going to melt the ice when Leila's foot stuck out and tripped him. He fell down and then Leila stabbed him with the golden dagger on the floor.

We were silent. I removed my palms from the floor and the floor returned to normal. We stared at the body of our attacker apprehensively.

"Maybe we should…remove the mask?" Rumi said tactfully, her arm returning to normal.

"Good idea," I said and slowly pulled off the mask…

…to see Kai's face come into view.

Me: *looks at it* ^^* Gomen nasai people! I really can't write fight scenes sometimes.

CS: Pathetic…

Me: ;__; Mou, you're so mean! *huddles in a corner and cries*

Tyson: CS, you should go apologize…

CS: Why? It was pretty bad.

Kai: I agree.

Tyson: Kai, shut up and CS, you better apologize otherwise we'll be stuck here forever and we don't want that now, do we?

CS: Fine. *goes up to Timmy* I'm sorry.

Me: *sniffs* Really?

CS: -_-; Really, really.

Me: *beams* ^___^

CS: -_-;;; Review.

Me: Reviewers receive—

CS: Killer Kai plushies!!

Me: Warning. I will not be held accountable for the damage this plushie does, so you'd better go and buy health insurance.

CS: *starts stabbing her Killer Kai plushie* Review!
