Beyblade Fan Fiction ❯ Trapped in a Virtual Reality ❯ Chapter 2

.Ch 2.

"We're in the game! Oh shit!" I screamed.

"This is all your fault Tyson!" Marisol pointed accusingly at the midnight-blue-haired teen.

"And Daichi's, too!" Teresa added angrily. Rei rolled his eyes.

"Well…so we know who's fault it is, but how can we get out of here?" He asked. Lydia shrugged.

"Only Kenny would know." Kai said unexpectedly. "We have to wait until he wakes up."

"Hmm…" I kneeled in front of the unconscious Kenny, and poked him curiously.

"Wake up Chief! Please…we need to get out of here…come on!" I pleaded.

"He's not going to wake up in a long time. Just leave him be." Kai helped me up.

"What are we going to do? We're stuck in this virtual world and...And...There are creepy and ugly…"

"CREATURES!" Lydia pointed at me.

"Shut up!! I'm going to kill you for insulting me!" I screamed at her.

"No for real!" I narrowed my eyes at Lydia, whose skin color had drained completely from her face.

"Oh kuso…" I murmured. A large roar behind me almost made my ears explode. Reluctant, I turned my head to see what it was. A creature similar to a dinosaur, blood in its mouth, panting as if it had chased prey and eaten already. But I had the idea it was still hungry, so the BladeBreakers, especially me, scrambled frenzily to save our lives.

Tyson had to drag Kenny behind him, and since he was so fearful for his life he ran faster than all of the rest of us, even Teresa, who is a track runner. In our panic, I had forgotten that Kai had a knife in his belt. And I did too.

"The knife, the knife!" I exclaimed and gestured Kai towards his belt. Promptly, he understood and took it out.

"Keep running people!" Both of us, Kai and I, stopped running and veered to meet the two and a half meter creature, with razor sharp claws and razor sharp teeth, wide open jaw, saliva dripping out of its mouth, mixed with blood, and blood-shot eyes.

We had to face it nonetheless.
"Um…Kai…if we're like- stuck INSIDE a computer, if we get killed, it won't matter, will it?" I asked. The creature swung its claws in my direction and made a large gash on my left arm. I cried in pain while Kai took the creature's arm, holding it tightly, as he pulled it closer and stabbed it in the gut. I recovered from my wound and stabbed the creature in the same place Kai had, but moved the knife up, cutting all the way up to the start of its jaw. Slain, the animal fell to the desert-like barren ground, while its blood tainted increasingly.

"Did that answer your question?" Kai answered my previous question with a question. I limited myself to nodding slowly with my eyes wide open.

"Anyways, how do we find the others? They ran away like scared chickens." Kai didn't answer.

"We'll have to camp here then." I said.

"I say we find them. That's that." Kai laid down the law. (hmmm lay…mmmm) I rolled my eyes but nonetheless followed him.

Up ahead, there were jagged rocks that we had to climb. "Are you sure they went through here?" I asked uncertainly.

"They ran a straight line, I'm sure." I only kept quiet.

Hours later, we were once again in the desert environment.

"It's going to take us a long time to reach them." I stated. Kai sighed and looked out into the horizon.

"Yes. We can reach them tomorrow." He sat down as I did too. I leaned against his shoulder sleepily.

"Good night." I mumbled drowsily, closed my eyes and simply slept.

I woke up with reluctance the next day. Kai was already up, sitting on a chair next to me.

`Wait. Chair?' I thought. `Bed?' Kai nodded. The bed was very soft, with silver blankets and silver-hued pillows. Kai's chair was silver as well, like made out of metal.

"So…"

"No. For once I don't know why. I haven't gotten out of this room." Kai leaned against the chair.

"Do you still have your knife?" I asked him. He took it out of his belt. "Yep."

"We can go outsid-" I was interrupted by the slow turning of the doorknob. I jumped out of the bed, knife in hand. I walked towards the door and slowly waited for the person to peek their head in…

But that didn't happen soon enough to my likes. Impatient, I opened it myself and was about to stab the person in the face when I noticed it was Tyson. And Teresa behind him.

"Oops. Sorry. I was about to stab pure fat." I said sarcastically and opened the door wider.

"How nice." Teresa commented just as sarcastically as me.

"Where were you yesterday?" I asked, changing the subject.

"We all ran as fast as we could. Very far away. Are there anymore of those dinosaur thingies out there?" Teresa answered.

"They're easy to kill."

"Whatever. Do you people know how we got here?" Tyson intervened. Then an intercom sounded.

"Everyone on the building, report to the Main Room."

"Where is that?" Tyson asked the intercom. In back of him, a little noise was heard. He veered around to see a map on the wall, like a hologram projection. The room we were in was in red, and the `Main Room' was in blue.

"Okay." I took Kai by the hand and dragged him to the `Main Room'. Teresa still was studying the map when Tyson got impatient and took Teresa's hand to drag her.

"Hey, have some patience piggie!" She protested. When we got to the infamous `Main Room', we saw Kenny, Rei, Lydia, Daichi, Marisol and Max were there already.

"FOOD!" Tyson jumped from joy and ran to a bar full of steak, sandwiches, hamburgers, hot dogs, rice and lots of other food.

.1 minute later.

All the food was gone.

"Thanks for leaving something for us!" Daichi crossed his arms.

"Yeah. You're welcome." Tyson burped.

"Okay guys. Shut up! You want to stay there forever?" A voice from above boomed.

"Hitoshi?" Tyson recognized the voice quickly.

"Yeah. Now listen. Since you people got stuck here, I think I have to help you get out. By the way, Tyson, Grandpa made a buffet in the morning, but since you weren't there, he and I had to eat. Also, it was all your favourite foods." Tyson was drooling his head off.

"Anyways, I have the idea that to get out, you have to win the game."

"B-b-but how?! I haven't finished the game!"

"Well, all those environments you haven't created will be just darkness and a green grid. Unfortunately I can't make changes to the game while you're on it; I can't down the computer, or anything. I can start a new game when I want to, though but if you…you're dead. No way of bringing you back. Got it people? I'm going to start a new game, so you can choose you clothes, weapons and powers."

"Good. Now will you shut up Hitoshi? And get on with it?"

"Very nice Ceci. You're always so very VENOMOUS." Hitoshi retorted. "No time for giving you extra training. I'm going to restart the game."

`Only Kai or myself assigns me extra training. Wait. Only myself.' I thought.

Exactly in that moment, it seemed time slowed down and we were on another room suddenly.

"Where are we?" Marisol asked after a while.

"Just choose your elemental powers." Hitoshi said, rather- Commanded. We were set on a straight line and another hologram was paced in front of us. At the top, were listed all the possible elemental powers that could be used. Kenny chose Psychic, Tyson chose Wind, Teresa chose time, Rei chose Metal, Lydia chose Dark, Max chose Water, Marisol chose Earth, Daichi chose Weather, Kai and I chose Fire.

"Next, weapons." Hitoshi commanded. I almost jumped from joy. There was not a really great choice of weapons. But you could design it to your likes.

Since Kenny doesn't like close combat, he got throwing stars. Tyson and Teresa got katanas; Max chose o get a shield and a two double-sided spears, while Marisol got bow and arrows. I chose to get a crossbow and a sword, and Kai got a sword. Rei chose the mace,Lydia took the axe, while Daichi chose the scythe. (Like the Grim Reaper)

"Hitoshi...are you there?" Kenny asked.

"Yes."

"Okay, so we get wings, use this cheat: ALT+CTRL+W+F. That's so we get wings. Now so you won't have to play, press

G+S+CTRL+ENTER. That'll make it a game simulation. Like a game, only you can watch like if it was a movie and it works like a screensaver in 50x100.

"Slow down…" Tyson pleaded.

"Shut." Marisol told him, threatening with an arrow. Tyson stepped away and hid behind Teresa.

"Tyson!" Boomed Hitoshi. "Hiding behind a girl. I hat to think what will happen to you out there in the environments with the creatures thirsting for little boy blood." Kenny was shaken to the core with that little joke.

"You people need to be brave. It's imperative you people try to beat the game so you can get out of this. You cannot fail. Now, start!"

Time seemed to stop again, then started to revolve around us at lightning speed, making all the colors blend and seem a blur, until we were no longer in the HQ (headquarters)

"Guys? Peeps?" I asked. Only Kai was there with me. "Where is everybody?"

"They were all sent to different environments. We're in the volcano environment."

"Hmm. I wonder where everybody is."

.Max and Marisol.

"Ohh shit. Where the fuck are we?" Swore Marisol. They were upon a wooden board, barely big enough for both of them, trying to float in a river.

"Look at it this way." Max begun cheerily. "We're alive and together and that's all that matters. Also there are no waterfalls."

"I guess." Marisol agreed. Just then the board fell down a three-food mini-waterfall. Both Max and her yelped in temporary panic, which ended when they were carried pacifically again.

Seconds later, it resumed, more mini-waterfalls, and the water began carrying them faster, faster, and faster. Max and Marisol fell to their knees and held on to the edges of the board, and to each other, hoping, just hoping, it was not game over for them.

"Oh, please." Max screamed above the roar of the angry water, "please! If death is impending, come now!" Barely had he finished the sentence when the boards tipped over into the blue void.
