The rebels
Chapter 18
3..2...1...let it rip.
Five blades entered the arena at speed. Blue, gold, grey green and white blades began to mingle and crash with each other.
"Circle formation," said clone-Ray. The three clone blades started spinning in a circle. The spun very fast and all that could be seen was a green, white and grey blur.
"Move 258 activate now," said clone-Tyson in a level monotone voice.
The three clone blades began to spin, if possibly, even faster. They fed off each other's energies.
"Defence mode Dranzer" ordered Kai.
"You too Nephthys," said Alla, frustration evident in her voice. Kai frowned. They were like sitting ducks.
Ray's blade started spinning closer to Kai and Alla's blade. Kai's eyes followed it. Kai felt there was something strange about its movements. Something was up. Suddenly Clone-Tyson's blade shot out from behind Ray's at light speed and struck Kai's blades full force. Kai gritted his teeth and hissed with pain.
Clone-Tyson's blade fell back into the three-blade group as quickly as it had exited.
"Move 372, activate now," said clone-Max in his ruff level voice.
The clone blades began spinning in a wider circle. The contracted and expanded in a second. They kept repeating this with no apparent rhythm.
"What are they up to," asked Alla.
"I don't know," said Alla.
Kai frowned as the circle began to come apart. Kai frowned then gasped as he saw the one circle give way to five. Each circle had a green, white and grey blade in it.
Kai and Alla now looked like they were facing fifteen blades instead of three.
Kai looked at Alla.
"Lets see what's in circle number one", said Alla. Kai nodded. Dranzer and Nephthys both spun towards the first circle.
However, the clone's blades were faster. As soon as Alla and Kai's blades entered the first circle, all the circles combined. Suddenly fifteen blades surrounded Kai and Alla's blade.
"O crap," said Alla as the blades tightened the circle. No w the fake blades were beginning to fade. The three real blades tightened the circle.
"Move 103, activate in ten seconds" said clone-Ray.
"How can they remember all these dam moves," yelled Alla in frustration.
"They are not human," said Kai in a calm level voice. Scarily like the clones, voices thought Alla but that was just Kai.
Ray's blade darted back behinds Max and Tyson's blade moved in front of Max's blade. Together they formed a three-ring circle around Kai and Alla's blades.
Clone- Max's blade back peddled and headed straight towards Alla's blade. Kai saw this movement and rushed forward but he was intercepted by Tyson's blade. Max collided full on with Alla's blade. Alla counter attacked and her blade rushed to Kai's aid but she was also intercepted, this time by Ray's blade.
"Dam it," yelled Alla.
"Dranzer push him back," yelled Kai. Kai's blade crashed into Tyson's who was then pushed into Max's. Alla seeing this pushed Ray's blade into them as well.
"Back into formation," said clone- Tyson calmly.
Kai smirked and Alla smiled broadly.
"Move bitbeast 526, activate now," said clone-Max. The smiles faded.
Alla groaned as the three clone blades started glowing.
"I am really starting to dislike your friends," said Alla.
"They are not my friends," said Kai.
"Ouch," said Alla who looked at Kai in confusion.
"What? No these are clones," said Kai hurriedly.
"Okay okay relax," said Alla smiling. Kai frowned why did Alla have to pick the worse times to develop a funny bone.
Drigger, Draciel and Dragoon leapt from their blades. Their eyes were red and a metal bar was attached to their arms but other then that they looked the same. They looked hungry for a fight.
"Dranzer," yelled Kai.
"Nephthys lend me your power," said Alla. Two more bitbeasts joined the fray.
"Triangle formation, move 441, activate now" said clone Ray.
The clone's blades moved forward as a triangle. Tyson's blade crashed into Kai's blade and Ray's crashed into Alla's. Tyson pushed Kai's lade to Ray who had forced Alla's blade over to Max. Who then passed her back to Tyson. At the same time Kai was being passed from Tyson to Ray and then to Max in a never-ending game of pass the parcel.
"Dam it," snarled Kai. He could feel his blade being severely weakened by this move but he could not move. He was trapped so was Alla.
As Kai was being passed from Tyson to Ray, Ray's blade suddenly was sent flying. Kai looked up just in time to see a light blue blade disappear.
Kai saw an opening. " Dranzer attack," said Kai, taking full advantage of the confusion and attacked Ray full on.
"Abort move 441," said clone-Ray.
"Well done," said Alla as Tyson and Max's blade went back towards Ray.
"It wasn't me," said Kai.
"Then who?" asked Alla. However, Kai was saved from answering by clone- Max.
"Move bitbeast 728," said clone- Max.
"How many moves do these guys have?" asked Alla to nobody in particular.
"I don't tend to find out," said Kai. "Dranzer fire storm," yelled Kai. Kai's blade began to spin faster in became in cased with fire.
"Go Nephthys, golden rush," yelled Alla as golden light mixed with fire and sand.
"Wait what is sand doing here?" yelled Alla.
"I don't know but it is helping us and it is powerful," said Kai.
Kai and Alla suddenly felt a cool familiar breeze wash over them.
"Sean" they said together.
"Let's finish this," yelled Kai.
The baby blue blade appeared again. Kai's, Alla and Sean's blades rushed forward and drove the clones-blades back near the edge of the rim of the dish.
"Now while they vulnerable full attack," yelled Kai.
"Nephthys final attack," yelled Alla.
"Dranzer final sonar supernova" yelled Kai.
The sun outside dimmed and the world was thrown into unnatural darkness. The heat in the room intensified.
Despite herself, Alla was excited. So this was the sonar supernova move, wow Alla thought.
"Move defence 229," yelled clone Tyson finally losing his calm monotone voice. "Activate now!".
"Too late," Kai snarled as the light and heat in the room intensified.
"Dranzer finish this," yelled Kai. Dranzer shrieked and Kai glowed red and he passed his energy on to her.
"Abort move defence 229. Attack with move 001, activate now" yelled clone- Ray.
"Ultimate darkness," yelled the three clones in unison.
Draciel, Drigger and Dragoon snarled in pain and anguish as there very bones and sprits were ripped apart. Three bright lights shone and then went out one by one. Then there was a soft roar. Kai had to strain his ears to hear it at first. Kai was starting to feel weak from the energy loss but all he had to do was wait a few more seconds then Dranzer would be ready.
The roar became louder and more defined. Now that it was louder, Kai could hear voices inside the roar. Distant wails of pain and betrayal. The roar became so loud now that it was shattering Kai's eardrums.
Dranzer's light now occupied the whole room but as the roars reached its max, a sudden darkness appeared. It pushed back the light. Where Draciel, Drigger and Dragoon once stood now there was one dark, aggressive and deformed bitbeast.
It roared and everybody including its masters yelled out in pain and covered their ears. It reached out its hand and grabbed Dranzer. Dranzer could not run away as much as day cannot run away from night.
The place where its hand touched was burnt black and from the wound, it pumped darkness into Dranzer and through her into Kai. Kai felt the darkness enter his system. He felt it worm its way around his heart looking for an entrance. It forced him to the floor. It felt like he was being stabbed all over. The pain was unbearable. Kai wanted to scream but his mouth would no longer obey him. It along with most of his body already belonged to the darkness.
"Sop it," yelled Alla. "Stop it. Nephthys help him," yelled Alla who was close to tears.
Alla's blade rushed forward. The blade struck it and it snarled. With its free hand, it conjured up a ball of energy and threw it not at Nephthys but at Alla. The energy hit Alla and threw her against a wall. She slid down and hit the floor. Her eyes were closed and her face had turned pale.
Kai saw what happened. He pushed back the darkness with all of his strength. "Al…Al….la," groaned Kai through harsh breaths. Dranzer's feathers had grown and fee shades darker. They now looked like deep dark blood instead of their normally bright red.
"Dranzer," Kai tried to shout but ended up a whisper. It did not matter she still heard him. "Please don't give up. We can do this together,".
"Please master I would prefer to give in rather then lose you," said Dranzer.
"If we lose this you would lose me anyway," said Kai.
"Yes I guess I would. So this is it," said Dranzer.
"One finally stand" said Kai. "Dranzer sonar supernova," yelled Kai.
All of Dranzer's built up energy was finally set lose with in her. Driving out the darkness from her heart. The darkness gave way to light and it shrieked and let go of Dranzer's neck. It stumbled backwards, blinded by the light.
"Now," said Kai softly as the darkness closed in on him.
Dranzer stopped. She had two choices. One put all her power into this final attack and risk losing Kai to the darkness or two disobey Kai's last order and doom the world and her master to darkness.
"Dranzer please do it now," Kai screamed. "For my friends please attack with all you've got. Dranzer shrieked with pain. She turned her head towards the sky and allowed the light to fill her. The star Dranzer had become crashed into it. She drove herself into it, into the darkness, and there she exploded. There was a brilliant noise and then all went quite.
Kai was not sure whether it was finally over or that he had blacked out. Then he saw rays of light pass from the clones and the remains of it. Kai felt a familiar light pass over him.
Tyson, Max and Ray.
Kai smiled and finally let go.
