Chapter 8 – The Worst Thing Ever
Two hours later, all the teams were at the mini-tournament.
The Bladebreakers, Majestics, Demolition Boys, PPB All-Stars, White Tigers, Saint-Shields, Astro V and Team Psychic were all there.
Boris' new team just so happened to be Team Psychic, though. They were now battling on whether Boris would give up beyblading and all things related to it for life, or not. The thing was, Boris chose who battled who.
'Mariah vs. Kane!' he called. Mariah looked round, stunned. She glanced to her team-mates and to her friends as she stepped up to the dish.
'C'mon Mariah!' Ray yelled. Mariah smiled to herself.
Boris looked round and caught one boy's eye. He muttered something to the boy next to him, and the message went along like Chinese Whispers.
'3, 2, 1….LET IT RIP!' Jim cried, grinning like a mad man.
Kane and Mariah both sent their blades into the dish, which was plain and simple.
'Attack, Cyber Dragoon! Perfect delete!' Kane yelled, also grinning madly. Mariah watched worriedly as the beast rose up from his blade.
'Go Galux! Cat Bites!' Mariah called, suddenly shaking the worry from her, letting her determination take her over. This was just like patrol, to her now.
'You think that's all! Watch and learn, girlie!' Kane cried, his mad grin growing into his eyes as well. It scared Mariah.
'What's wrong with you!' she asked, bringing a hand up in shock and self-defence, though it wasn't much use.
'Cyber Dragoon! Cyber Victory Tornado Supreme!' He yelled. Mariah shielded her eyes with her hand again, her mouth agape in fear.
'Sounds like a pizza.' Jess snorted from the sidelines.
'C'mon, Mrai! You got this going girl!' Katt cheered. Mariah gasped as she saw the hidden surprise in the attack.
Behind the rest of them, a group of boys were chanting an ancient spell.
'Ahh!'
Mariah cried out as purple ribbons spun out of the tornado, grabbing the girl and wrapping around her body, lifting her up into the air. She lay horizontally in the air, and she couldn't move an inch. Pure terror smothered her.
Lee resisted the urge to cry out to his sister, and remained chanting with the others. Robert nodded to them, and they all stopped chanting.
The ribbons spun back into the tornado as it disappeared back into the blade, knocking Galux out as it did so. Mariah spun around, before the ribbon ended, and she fell with a cry to the floor. She lay still.
'Mariah!' Katt yelled.
'Mrai!' Emily and Miriam called.
'NO!' Hilary and Suzy screamed.
Kasi shook her head, 'we have to help her!' she decided.
Katt and Kasi ran up next to their friend, shooting dirty looks at Kane and Boris. They went and knelt down on either side of the pinknette.
They glanced to each other, before putting their hands together over Mariah. Their fingertips were only just touching. The girls shut their eyes and bowed their heads. A yellow-green light glowed around Mariah, growing stronger.
The two girls let out one low, solemn note, which rang across the hall and back again, enchanting all those who heard it.
Suddenly, Katt and Kasi threw back their heads, as a bright greed light streamed out of their eyes. It threw them backwards onto the floor, breaking the contact at their fingers. The others watched, aghast.
Katt groaned and slowly got up, as did Kasi on the other side. Mariah was like the mirror line between them.
Then Mariah got up. She sat up, rubbing her head. She saw her friends either side of her, and the astounded looks on the faces of the crowd, and guessed what had happened.
'No! You shouldn't have helped me like that!' she said. Katt shook her head.
'You could have died, Mrai! I think this is better than that option, in fact I know it is!' she said. She rubbed her head, and Kasi nodded.
'Look out!' Katt and Kasi both yelled, each pointing to behind the other.
Tala and Spencer caught Katt from behind, pinning her to the floor, while Kane and Goki took Kasi. Lee and Bryan held Mariah.
'Let go of them!' Hilary yelled, running over to her friends. Tyson and Ray grabbed her as well. Lightening started to strike the floor by the fallen brunette, until she collapsed, giving in to the two boys above her.
'Hils!' Emily called, as she watched her friend go down as well. Boris grinned as she ran out as well.
'Let our sister go!' Jess yelled. Raul and Dunga ambushed her as well. Ici backed away, hitting a wall.
Michael and Eddy grabbed Emily, yelling out when a metallic shield tried to form around her. They caught her anyway.
'Let Jess go! She has nothing to do with this!' Suzy cried, running out in front of Jess and Hilary. Johnny's jaw dropped, and he and Kai grabbed her, tackling her to the floor as well. Wind started to slash their clothing, but eventually, she too, gave up.
'Stop it! Can't you see you're hurting them!' screamed Miriam, turning all eyes onto her. She stepped out slowly, only to be tackled by Ozuma, Joseph and Max.
Boris smirked, and walked over to Katt, Kasi and Mariah.
'Bring the others here. We might as well see them all in a row.' He said. He frowned when he saw Jess was brought up as well.
'Why are there eight?' he demanded.
'Let Jess go! She's not a part of any of this!' Katt yelled suddenly. Boris chuckled coldly.
'And you are, I presume?' he asked. Katt paled.
'We know Katt, we know. We're more than triple dead!' Hilary called out. Katt nodded.
'Why is it always us?' she wondered.
'I'd just say you and Mir' to be precise,' Emily admitted. Miriam nodded.
'You keep away from all of us!' she spat at Boris. He chuckled, and slapped her across the face.
'Tierra!' The others cried, not caring about using their nicknames.
'T-Tierra?' repeated Joseph, 'you mean she's the earth-girl?' A fist of earth rose up under Miriam, Ozuma and Max. Joseph had backed away long ago.
'Yeah, and if you knew what was good for you, you'd leave her and the rest of us be!' Kasi growled.
'Shut it, Fuega, we're in a bad enough situation already.' Hilary told her bitterly.
'Should've guessed Kasi was Fuega.' Bryan muttered.
'Okay you lot, who's Agua?' asked Tala.
'You got her right here, bastard!' Katt yelled suddenly. Tala stared at her, loosening his grip on the girl.
'Y-You? You got pushed through the-'
'Through the bars of that bloody climbing frame? Yeah, yeah that's me. Thanks for nothing, assholes.' Katt spat bitterly. Everyone in the room, even Kasi and the others, stared at her.
'Are you happy now?' whispered Suzy suddenly. Johnny glared down at his sister.
'Why didn't you tell us?' he asked her furiously. Suzy seemed to go limp, before suddenly stiffening again. She flew up and out of Kai's and Johnny's gasps.
'And what would we have said? Hi Johnny, look we've just got these neat gems, one each! And look! When we put them our foreheads, we change into these seven hooded girls who go out on patrol every night to hunt and kill demons and forces of darkness! Also, they've given us these cool super-powers, wanna see?' Suzy said sarcastically.
Katt, Kasi, Hilary, Mariah, Miriam and Emily all started to laugh. Suzy smirked and looked down at the boys holding her friends.
'Let them go.' She said sternly. Tala stared up at her.
'Why?' he asked her simply. Suzy stared at him like he was insane.
'Because I told you to.' She glanced to the doors on either side of the room and rolled her eyes, 'and because we need to save your sorry buts once again.' she added.
'Wha-?' asked Johnny, but Suzy cut him off.
'There are about a dozen Chozetti Demons waiting right outside, and I don't exactly plan on taking them all out myself.' She told him in a bored monotone.
'Right, so unless you want to die pretty damn soon, I'd let us go.' Mariah agreed.
'Heh, bugger this.' Kasi muttered, suddenly lighting a fire by her heels. This gave her enough power to shoot up to Suzy's level, hovering next to her.
Katt and Hilary did the same, while a stream of earth took Miriam.
Mariah let a pink ribbon wrap around her waist, hoisting her up as well. They were as firm as rock, as seen when Lee tried to kick them. Mariah looked down in mild surprise.
'Wait for me!' Emily cried, rising up on another metallic shield.
Katt grinned. 'Time for a change, I think.' She said quietly. All seven girls brought out their gems, and placed them to their foreheads.
As one, the girls were lifted up higher into the air, where they spun around at lightening speed, their clothes changing as they did so. They landed back where they were before, now dressed as the seven hooded bladers.
'Ready Agua?' asked Fuega with a grin. Agua matched the grin easily.
'Ready Fuega.' She replied.
'Let's just get this over with.' Aire said, looking to her comrades one by one.
Cinta slowly removed her hood, leaving hanging down at her back. Slowly, all the others followed her lead.
'I say they see what we see this time.' She said, glaring firmly at the demons below. All the others nodded.
'Damn straight, Mrai.' Suzy agreed.
'Suzy!' Miriam cried suddenly. All eyes turned to her. 'There's a lot more than a dozen demons out there!' she said, pointing shakily.
There must have been about a hundred demons ready and waiting. Emily's face hardened.
'Then we'll just have to fight more than a dozen, won't we.' She said, though it was anything but a question. The girls snapped out of their fear and shock, nodding firmly.
'These guys are dust.' Hilary said loudly. All six nodded again, grinning now.
'You want to destroy them, you break their necks, cut off their heads or pierce their hearts.' Kasi told the bladerssimply.
Without warning, all seven girls dived down to a few inches above the floor, with Mariah and Miriam running at a frightening pace instead of flying. They were aimed straight at the demons, no fear left on their faces now.
'AS ONE!' they all screamed as they stopped just short of the waiting demons.
And the fight began.
Okay, I actually had to split this into two chapters, which was weird. Anyway, next chapter's pretty much done, so that should be up soon.
