Running Out of TimeChapter 2- Life and Death
A boy at the age of 14 sat on a bench in the back of an ambulance truck, caressing his girlfriend's soft cheeks. The girl had an oxygen mask on with water vapour on it from breathing into it. There were two paramedics who were watching her closely while stopping the blood from flowing out of the wound like water flowing out of a tap. Ray Kon looked once more at Mariah's body moving up and down, knowing that she was still alive. He leaned his head back at the truck's white walls and closed his eyes. He saw not blackness but what had previously happened to end up where he was right now. Bitbeast helping bitbeast, Mariah getting injured, all the bey battles, and the rain all flashed through his mind like the fireworks at the Fourth of July. He couldn't get rid of them; he couldn't chuck it out in the garbage, he couldn't lose it in a crowd, or get it stolen from him. He could only leave it inside him and get on with the present, which is now. Up at the front, his friends were having a discussion... well, almost everyone.
"Can someone tell me where a restaurant is? I hafta eat!" Tyson complained as his stomach rumbled loudly.
"Can you think of anything else other than food and your stomach Tyson?" Kai growled and gave Tyson a cold glare. "We have better things to think about other than your stomach."
"Well, sorry Mr. Sourpuss. I'm a growing boy you know! All growing boys need a lot of food."
"Maybe you can feed your head instead and grow a bigger brain!"
"Can you guys stop yelling at each other for once and focus on the problem at hand right now?" Kenny asked with Max nodding his head at what Kenny said.
"Right. First of all, why did Voltaire get a team of beybladers to try to defeat us and not get the Demolition Boys instead?" Tyson asked.
"What did happen to them anyways? Kai, do you know?" Max inquired.
"Well, I'm not quite sure what happened to failed teams. I only remember that if a team did not please my grandfather, they would be disposed of. They were never seen again in the Abbey."
"Maybe they were erased of their memories of working there and got sent back home." Tyson suggested.
"It could be a possibility." Kai nodded. Kenny was about to say something when the truck stopped. They looked ahead and saw that they had reached the hospital.
"Here we are. Everyone, get off." The driver told them. They nodded and one by one, got off. As they were getting off, the stretcher was out of the back of the truck and was already headed to the doors of the hospital with Ray not far behind.
"Ray! Wait up!" Kenny yelled and started running with everyone else behind him to catch up. Ray was running beside the stretcher until it reached the operation room. He stopped at the doors as Max and company finally caught up to him. The red light was turned on, signifying that an operation was in progress. Ray's shoulders slumped and he took a seat not far from the operation. Tyson, Max, Kai, and Kenny also took a seat. Tyson put a hand on Ray's shoulder.
"Don't worry pal. Mariah's strong and she wouldn't surrender her life without a fight."
"You're right Tyson, we should have faith in her, and not give up." Ray wiped his tears from his eyes with the back of his hand. "Thanks."
"Anytime man. I'm gonna get something to eat from the vending machines. Anyone, need anything?"
"Fritos, Tex-Mex flavoured Twists please." Max said.
"Vanilla Coke." Kenny told Tyson without looking up from his screen.
"Coffee Crisp." Kai said.
"Ray you want anything?"
"Huh, wha?" Ray broke out of his zoned-out state and looked up at Tyson.
"I asked do you want anything?"
"Uh... hot chocolate please. Thanks. Tyson."
"You're welcome. Well, I'm off." Tyson left in search for the vending machines.
Tyson came back 20 minutes later with the requested items in his hands. They nodded their thanks and Tyson settled down with a bag of Hickory sticks, Doritos, Tropical Skittles, and Old Dutch Pickle Flavoured chips, along with a bottle of Fruitopia, Nestea Iced Tea, Mountain Dew, Pepsi Twist, and Barq's Root Beer.
Everyone but Ray (who was zoned out again at the moment) stared at Tyson stuffing his face with the Hickory Sticks.
"What? I'm hungry!" Tyson said that statement while shoving more Hickory Sticks into his mouth. Max, and Kenny fell down, anime style. Kai just closed his eyes and crossed his arms, pretending that he hadn't heard, or seen anything.
~~Two Hours Later~~
"I think I'm going to be sick." Tyson's face was green and he had his hand over his mouth.
"Serves him right for cramming his mouth with food as if there was no tomorrow." Kai smirked at Tyson's current state. There was a strange sound and Tyson ran towards the men's room. (A.N.: Everyone knows that sound... I hope...)
Max was currently talking to Emily through his cell phone, Kai was launching his beyblade and commanding Dranzer to do his special attacks, Kenny was talking to Dizzi and researching the Dark Vipers' bitbeasts and Ray was thinking hard and staring into space at the same time. He kept on glancing at the 'Operation in Progress' sign to see if it was over yet but he looked at it with despair. After a few minutes, he takes out his wallet and looks at a picture in one of the slots. It was of Mariah. Her long pink hair was down and the ends of it were curled up towards her arms. She was wearing a pink Chinese-style dress that fell to her knees with a slit on the sides for easy movement. The little bit of hope that he had left in his heart fell into a deep void of darkness like a dark hole. The feeling of defeat was starting to spread throughout his soul, leaving nothing but hopelessness in his body until he stopped thinking of dark things.
'No! I must stay strong for Mariah's sake!' Ray thought to himself and the feeling of hope rekindled once more inside his body.
At 2 o'clock in the morning, the surgeon that was working in the operation room stepped out. Ray saw this and bolted out of his seat in stood in front of the doctor.
"Are you Ray Kon?" The doctor asked. Ray nodded.
"I have something to tell you."
The feeling of dread inside Ray started settling in as he braced for what the doctor would say next.
"Mariah is in…"
