"Eww! We've got to go down dirty sewage tunnels with rats and cockroaches in them!" Hilary half-shrieked.
"Looks like it," Rei said.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go down there straight away but before that, let's go for lunch first!" Tyson cheered.
Chapter 5:
The Beybreakers were trudging around in a dirty sewage tunnel and Hilary was not happy. She was voicing her opinion louder then necessary, considering that she was screaming every time she caught sight of any living creature that wasn't human.
Tyson, who had had enough of Hilary shrieking her head off, suddenly called out, "Hey Hilary, no one forced you to join us so if you're so freaked out, why don't you just go back above ground and wait for us."
Hilary glared angrily at Tyson but could not think of a good retort.
"Just like you to be scared of a little rat-what the!" He shouted a small bat nearly flew into his face.
"You were saying?" Hilary asked smugly.
"Nothing…" Tyson muttered.
Tori, who was in the lead, rolled her eyes as the two started bickering. Nami suddenly tapped her shoulder and asked, "Are you sure we're going in the right direction?"
"Hmm… Let me think," Tori answered, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Holy calamity, I think we're lost."
"Well you don't have to be so touchy about it! Geez, someone sure woke up on the wrong side of bed today."
Muttering under her breath, Tori turned the corner and came face to face with a dead end.
"I told you this was the wrong way!" Nami said triumphantly.
Tori sighed and reached into a sewer pipe jutting out of the wall.
"Eww…" Both Hilary and Nami exclaimed in unison.
Suddenly, the brick wall in front of them swung open.
"What-" Rei exclaimed.
"Hidden tunnel." Tori explained, before stepping through.
When all the Beybreakers were on the other side, Tori pushed a brick and the wall swung shut.
They were now face to face with two doors. One was steel reinforced and it looked quite new while the other was rusted and bent out of shape.
Kai caught sight of a piece of paper pinned to the wall of the sewer. He pulled it off and read it.
One of these doors leads to your opponent,
The other leads to a trap.
Choose carefully!
"Well, it's obviously the steel reinforced door!" Tyson said. "Who would be stupid enough to-"
"Don't you think it's a little too obvious?" Hilary asked.
"She's right, Tyson," Kenny said.
But the baka in question was already pulling the door open.
There was a small click, and the next thing the Beybreakers knew, they were being "attacked" by a whole hoard of small bats.
Nami, Tyson, Kenny, and Hilary totally freaked out and Rei and Max also looked extremely unnerved. Kai of course, was expressionless as usual. Surprisingly enough, Tori didn't seem to be bothered much; she looked relaxed and even grinned when a bat landed on the sleeve of her coat.
When the onslaught of bats had finally stopped, Tyson grinned sheepishly and asked, "Hey, how about we go through the other door now?"
The other Beybreakers, with the exception of Tori, glared at him and if looks could kill, Tyson would be no more than a pile of ash on the floor.
Tyson paled at the glares he was getting and was thankful when Tori broke the silence.
"It's no big deal. This stuff can be cleaned off quite easily."
"Easy for you to say!" Nami yelled. "I notice you don't seem to be covered in bat dung!"
"We're wasting time. The faster we get this over with, the faster we can get out of here. And Tyson can pay the dry-cleaning bills." Tori replied.
"Hey!" Tyson yelled.
Tori stared coldly at him. "You were the one who got us into this mess so don't argue."
"Fine, fine" Tyson muttered, disgruntled.
