Chapter 6: Things get connected
The two monsters stood; their evil gaze fixed on Tyson. The werewolf-gargoyle made a move at Tyson, the others tried to block but the monster was too fast and slammed Tyson into the stone wall of the garden.
Sammy and Grace: TYSON!
Tyson grunted as he opened his eyes to find the monster on top of him; using its huge paw to keep Tyson in place.
Sammy: LET GO OF MY BROTHER!
Sammy felt a pain inside her, as she watched. The monster was about to use the other paw to slash Tyson when…
Grace: VALEFORE! EVOLUTION STORM!
Grace had unleashed her Beyblade and Bit Beast Valefore. Her Beyblade looked almost identical to Tyson's except for a golden orange where the blue is. Her bit beast was also a dragon, not a blue one but a rather colourful one with gold, red and purple on its body.
Valefore unleashed a powerful hurricane that distracted the monster long enough for Tyson to escape and rejoin his sisters and friends.
Tyson: Thanks Grace that was a close one!
Grace: No problem!
Sammy: Excuse me but we better save the sentiments for later!
Sei: Yeah we got to deal with these two!
So Tyson, Kai, Ray, Sammy, Sei and Lily launched their Beyblades to join Grace's Valefore, ready to protect themselves and the dojo.
The werewolf-gargoyle monster was not very pleased at the storm attack it received; it growled rejoined the other monster ready to make their next move.
The seven Beyblades surrounded the monsters, the monsters then leapt up and the wingless-dragon monster went for Kai.
Kai: These creatures never learn…
Kai was grabbed by the dragon monster and pinned to a wall but Kai grabbed the beast's shoulders and pushed himself up and struck his feet into the beast's stomach and pushed it away.
Grace: Nice one Kai!
The dragon coughed blood for a moment and then went for Kai again as the werewolf-gargoyle went for Tyson and Ray.
Sei: I think we need to fight these creatures physically and not with our Beyblades.
Lily: You have a good point! They are after the guys rather than the Beyblades!
So Sei, Lily, Grace, Tyson, Ray and Kai called their Beyblades back. Sammy kept her Beyblade out. The werewolf-gargoyle grabbed Ray and Tyson by their necks and pinned them to a wall.
Sammy: RAY! TYSON!
Before the monster could do anything, Lily and Sei teamed up and both kicked it in the back. Angered the monster released Ray and Tyson and turned on Lily and Sei, giving them an evil look then roared.
Lily: Oh shit!
Sei: You can say that again!
The werewolf-gargoyle began to chase Lily and Sei, while Grace managed to catch up with the wingless-dragon and Kai.
Grace: Hey! Pick on someone your own size bully!
Grace then jumped and landed her fists on the monster's head, the wingless-dragon beast grabbed its head and roared in pain, and Grace went to Kai's side and gave him a quick hug and kiss.
Grace: Are you OK?
Kai: Yeah thanks!
Grace: Let's take this beast together then! *grins*
Kai: Hm! *grins*
So Kai and Grace teamed up and they took on the wingless dragon that was ready to attack again. Kai kicked its back while Grace punches its face. The monster roared in frustration and pain.
Meanwhile Lily and Sei found that the werewolf-gargoyle creature was not following them anymore…
Sammy: Sei! Lily! Over here!
The monster was heading to attack Tyson again! Tyson ran as fast as he could!
Lily: We cannot let it hurt Tyson!
Sei: Come on then we need to stop that thing!
Ray: A triple team would help!
So the trio went to the monster pursuing Tyson and when they got to the creature they kicked it away from Tyson. Peeved the monster lashed his claws out catching Lily's arm.
Lily: ARGH!
Tyson: Don't you dare hurt my girlfriend you fiend.
Tyson punched the monster in its stomach, the monster slapped Tyson to the floor, its claws catching his back. Tyson hissed in pain.
Sammy: NO! Tyson…
Sammy was about to call her Beyblade's attack when Kirsty suddenly came out of the dojo, shaking and her face tear-stained.
Sammy: I told you to stay inside with Max and Kenny!
Kirsty: Yeah about that, I think you need to come inside and see this!
Sammy called back her Beyblade and went in the dojo with Kirsty, Sammy looked at Max and Kenny with horror on her face.
Sammy: What the?
Max and Kenny were lying on the floor, shaking and crying in pain. Kenny had a bit of blood dribbled down his lip and Max was holding his stomach tight. Sammy looks back at Kirsty who had tears streaming down her face.
Sammy: They feel every hit the monsters receive right?
Kirsty nodded, Sammy went to her and grabbed her shoulders. Sammy had a feeling about this and now wanted Kirsty to tell her everything.
Sammy: What else do you know about this?
Kirsty broke down in Sammy's arms as she explained about Alex Gage, the meetings, the change in Max and Kenny's temperament, the night where she comforted them when they had nightmare and the previous night she spent with Max as he puked blood. Sammy listened to all this with growing horror…it seemed that these monsters came from Max and Kenny themselves and were connected to them…
Meanwhile back outside, Kai and Grace were still attacking the wingless-dragon when it suddenly grabbed them both and began to crush them tight. Sei and Ray were pinning the werewolf-gargoyle to the floor, trying to keep his claws down.
Grace: HNNNN LET…GO…OF US!
Kai: OR ELSE!
Tyson got up weakly despite his injury and taunted the monster crushing Kai and Grace.
Tyson: Hey Ugly! Come and get me!
Lily: Tyson don't taunt it!
The wingless-dragon growled and chased Tyson, Grace and Kai got up and then with a fast run they threw themselves at the monster and together with Tyson they pinned it down.
Tyson: We have got you now!
Grace: Careful bro this thing is strong.
Indeed it was as it struggled to get up, the creature roared in frustration and then it reverted to a shadow and flew into the dojo. Grace, Kai and Tyson landed on the floor.
In the dojo Sammy and Kirsty hugged each other in fear as the shadow flew around, until it went inside Kenny!
Kenny: ARGH!
Sammy: Kenny!
Back outside Kai and Grace joined Sei and Ray in keeping the werewolf-gargoyle monster down. It was stubbornly trying to lash out.
Sei: Geez this thing doesn't know when to give up does it?
Ray: Just watch those claws of it!
Lily and Tyson were seeing to each others wounds.
Lily: Oh Tyson you are a fool! That thing could have killed you!
Tyson: I couldn't let it get away with slashing my Lilypad.
Lily: Tyson…
Tyson and Lily shared a kiss as the werewolf-gargoyle with one last struggle tried to free itself then it too reverted to a shadow.
Grace: What the heck?
The shadow also flew into the dojo.
Sei: I hope it doesn't hurt the girls, Max or Kenny.
The shadow flew around inside the dojo.
Kirsty: We have to stop it! It is going to go into Max!
Sammy: I don't know if we can…
Kirsty: OI! You thing you, leave my Blondie Bear alone!
Words were useless as it too flew straight into Max!
Max: AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!
Kirsty: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Kirsty broke down in tears as Sammy went to comfort her, Max and Kenny were on the floor for a moment then they both got up.
Max: I understand now…
Sammy: What?
Kenny: You want to hurt us!
Kirsty: NO! That is not true!
Max: YOU ARE LYING! YOU TOLD SAMMY EVERYTHING!
Kirsty: But…but…
Sammy: She is worried about you both and just wants to help! We all do!
Kenny: Yeah right!
Max and Kenny stormed to the back garden much to the puzzlement of Tyson, Ray, Kai, Sei, Grace and Lily.
Grace: Are you two OK?
Max turned to Grace and the others with an angry look in his face. Sammy and Kirsty were both outside the dojo now.
Max: Am I OK? DO I LOOK FUCKING OK TO YOU!
Grace's face paled, everyone else was disgusted with Max's foul angry outburst.
Kai: You better say sorry right now Max!
Kenny: Why the fuck should he?
Tyson: You two quit the attitude now!
Max: No! We have had enough of being seen as below the rest of you!
Kenny: Just here to be used and to make you guys look better!
Max: We don't want to be the underrated ones anymore!...ARGH!
Kirsty: Max?
Kenny and Max clenched their teeth and fists in pain, their hair started to look rougher, Max's blue eyes became an angry amber colour. Their teeth became slightly more pointed and fang-like and they released their fingers to reveal that their nails had become claws.
Kirsty was shaken, everyone else stared in horror.
Max: Why the fuck are you staring at us?
Sammy: You've changed…
Kenny: Oh whatever! Come on Max let's go!
Sei: Where are you going?
Max: It is none of your business…are you coming with us Kirsty?
Kirsty looked at her boyfriend tearfully as he extended his now clawed hand to her. Kirsty nodded and took his hand. Sammy tugged her arm.
Sammy:*whispering* What are you doing?
Kirsty: *whispering* Let me go with them, I need to try and fix this and stop them before they go too far.
Grace: What if he hurts you?
Sei: Let her go Sammy.
Sammy let Kirsty go as she left holding hands with Max, everyone looked on in shock. Tears began to fall down Sammy's face. Grace went to comfort her younger sister.
Grace: She is going to be fine, do not worry.
Sammy: I hope so…I hope so.
