Chapter Ten: Trouble in Paradise

"Cannonball!" Max yelled, jumping into the water.
"Hey, watched it Maxie!" Tyson grimaced as water splashed in his face.
"Ah, a great day to catch up on updating my beyblade stats." Kenny adjusted his glasses. "Fill me in Dizzi."
"Though you'll never ask," Dizzi said happily.
As the two worked, Hilary lounged in a beach chair, basking in the sun's rays and getting a healthy tan. Unbeknownst to her, a shadow crept slowly behind her.
"What a great day to get a tan," Hilary murmured stretching. "I could stay here forever… agh!" Hilary shot up from the chair, dripping in water.
Behind her, Tyson stood laughing his head off, a bucket in his hand. Hilary glared at him, steam fairly coming out her ears. She stomped over to him, anger flaring up in her eyes. Tyson stepped back uneasily.
"I'm so going to get you Tyson!" Hilary screeched, running after him.
"It was just a joke Hilary!" Tyson shouted back, running. "No need to get so worked up about it!"
Everyone sweatdropped. Kai looked up disinterestedly and stifled a yawn. He got up from his beach chair, his dark sunglasses glinting in the sun. He looked out across the sea, calm for the first time this week. The tension had been building up but right now, the tension seemed to leave his body. If he just ignored all other distractions, he could feel the calm of the sea wash over him, making him feel all peaceful inside…
A scream pierced the air.
Kai snapped out of his reverie. The sea had suddenly become a raging tempest; the sky, which was sunny before, was overcast and filling with dark clouds that promised rain. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled ominously in the distance.
A great monster rose out of the sea, its tentacles waving. It slowly edged itself across the water, waves spreading out from its massive body and grabbed a transfixed Kai off the sand.
Kai heard someone screaming his name from far away. But all he could think about were the four eyes that were looking at him.
What was this thing?

Angel heard the screams before she got there. She watched as people from the beach streamed out, screaming about a monster. Angel frowned. Why would there be a monster here?
'Draken's forces have come to this universe as well,' a voice whispered urgently in her head. 'Draken must have found out that the next rulers are here.'
"Is that you mother?" Angel whispered.
'Yes,' Rowena replied. 'I must tell you this now before our connection gets broken up. Whenever a monster is in the area, the Orb around your neck will glow as it is now.'
Angel looked down and it was indeed glowing. She looked surreptitiously around to see if anyone else had noticed.
'Hurry!' her mother urged. 'The fate of this world also rests on your shoulders.' The voice faded away.
Angel looked towards the beach. Making up her mind, she ran in.

The monster squeezed Kai as he struggled to try and get out of its deadly grip. Just when Kai thought he was a goner, a rainbow beam of light shot through and severed the tentacle that was holding him. He fell down hard on the sand. As he struggled to get his breath back, he turned towards his rescuer.
A girl stood a few feet away from him. She had auburn hair that flowed behind her in an endless river. She wore some kind of mask in the shape of a pair of wings. When she turned to look at him, he saw blue-green eyes from behind the mask. She wore a blue tanktop and jean shorts under her green jacket that flared off into two tails at the back. In her hand was a ball of rainbow fire.
The girl winked at him. "Leave this to the pros." She proceeded to confront the monster.
Kai looked around him. The whole beach was deserted, all the people gone. He looked back at the girl.
The girl shot another beam at the monster. But the more tentacles she shot off, the more were replaced.
"Look out!" Kai shouted as a tentacle from behind flicked her away like a rag doll. He ran over to her as she got up dazedly. With a look of determination, she trudged over to fight the monster again.
"Don't do it!" Kai said quietly. "You're just going to get yourself killed."
The girl looked back at him. "If I give up now without trying, than I'll never know if I can or cannot do this." She closed her eyes. "I have to defeat this monster. This is my destiny." She closed her eyes as wings unfurled behind her. She flew up to the monster, twin balls of light dancing in her palms.
Kai watched the girl in awe. He just hoped the girl would make it out of this. Alive.

Sorry for not updating in awhile. I've been pretty busy lately. And I'm going through a writer's block. Another lame reason for not updating sooner. I actually can't wait till August.
