Sweet notes: *is laughing very hard and very evilly* first, before you read, my apologies to Bester of Death… I suspect your going to scream at this chapter. Secondly, congratulations… not even 24 hours and I got so many reviews! Oh and third… after this chapter I want to get to 70 at least. *shrugs* Lastly… DON’T KILL THE AUTHOR FOR THE CONTENTS OF THIS CHAPTER… PLEASE!!!! ~.^

Warnings: Yaoi, shounen-ai, Kai x Tyson. A bit of humour. Lemon. A tad psychological… but think about it, if I can read it and comprehend it… how much trouble do you expect? Also AU Sci-fi.

Disclaimer: If I owned Beyblades I would also own the sun, the moon, the stars and everything inbetween. So we can declude that I do not, in fact own Beyblades … or… *sob* the bishounen from it.

Losing: Chapter nine, The frying pan to the fire.

Kai twitched. A small stressful twitch was developing under his right eye… of course; it must have been justified.

"Surrender or your ship will be destroyed."

Kai’s twitch flared up.

"How many?"

"Three Sir, with fighters."

"How many fighters?"

"17."

Kai closed his eyes. He did not need this right now.

"What do they claim their mission is?"

"Gathering slaves for the royal harem."

"No shit. And they probably just happened to hear we were coming from Earth with guests." Kai sighed. "Send a hail. Tell them this is Moonain space. If they persist in their attack we will retaliate."

"Hail sent."

There was silence. In which the large Beastial cargo ships on the screen could be seen arming their weapons. The communication’s officer turned in his seat.

"Let me guess. No deal? I can see that they are arming their weapons. Very well. ALL PERSONAL TO YOUR BATTLE STATIONS." Kai yelled pushing in the little yellow button on his console. The flashing red lights turned green and the beeping turned into whirling sounds.

"Launch the dome shield. I do not want any of the fighters getting through."

"Dome shield and our pilots are launching."

"Send another hail to Dranzer mainframe on Neptune, tell them we are under attack by Beasts. Quickly! Before the dome shield closes up."

"Hail sent… barely. Our fighters are now out of the dome shield and engaging the enemy."

Kai gripped the side of his chair as an explosion hit the dome shield, rocking the ship around a bit.

"Damages to the shield?"

"None. They do not have the firepower to blast through it."

Kai watched as one of the fighters on their side lost an engine and spiralled down, hitting the fuel tank of one of the Beastial cargo ships. There was a massive explosion, which rippled the dome shield, opening it in a certain part.

"Shit! The dome shield has been breached! Four enemy fighters approaching the ship."

Kai was out of his chair and running for the door. "Arm the hull guns! Don’t let any of them breach any further!"

"Sir! Where are you going?"

"To the special fighter!"

"Good luck Sir!"

Kai reached a turbo lift and punched in the code to go down to the hanger bay.

Once on the hanger bay level he practically threw himself into the special fighter. Special mainly because it was a Moonain fighter ship. Kai slide into the seat and clicked a button, the sides of the seat fell down allowing his wings to fit comfortably. The bits that had fallen down opened up to reveal hand held blasters. Kai removed one of them and chucked them down to the mechanics who were clearing out.

"If they break through the hull."

The cockpit hatch closed and Kai typed in his access codes quickly.

"Ship is ready." Came the automated voice.

"Launch."

A whirl of electrical objects made its way up before the special fighter class Moonain ship ripped out of the docking bay.

~ ~ ~

Wiping his eyes on a towel after washing his face Tyson moved out of the washroom, only to fall down as the ship rocked. The red lights and beeping had changed to green and whirling a few minutes ago. That meant that a battle was going on.

Tyson blinked, that meant Kai didn’t have time for him. That meant he could possibly escape. Although he didn’t know what they were fighting, if he would survive or anything. But hey, sex or death… hard choice.

Running toward the door he began the hard process of uncoding it. Removing a chip from his watch he slid it into the coder. The numbers glowed red. He just had to figure out the combination.

~ ~ ~

Let us now go to one of the Beast fighters who made it inside the shield, and past the guns. And snuck away from the Moonain fighter while the other remaining three fighters engaged it. This little Beast made a hole in the hanger bay area, landed, and got out his slave collars. After all. He at least would get his mission done. Noted he also grabbed a stun gun but we thought we’d leave that for later references.

~ ~ ~

Ray swore as his fighter knocked another Beastial fighter down. This was taking too long; the dome shield was down and four fighters had gotten through. That and there were three pure humans back on the ship.

"SHI-NE!" Three quick succession blasts from his ship’s gun and another two Beastial ships went down. There were about six remaining fighters and the two shuttles. Ray moved back toward the ship, there were a good number of allies left to deal with the six fighters… the cargo ships were not a threat as such.

~ ~ ~

A blonde head came around a corner, naturally a body followed it. Sparkling pale blue eyes, like the sea looked around in worry. A soft sprinkling of freckles across cherub cheeks. A very infamous pure human walked down a hallway, checking room after room.

Max sighed as he came out of yet another empty guestroom. There were only three more places to check for Tyson. Not that Max was scared by the battle going on outside. Not at all… but someone had to check on Tyson, that boy got scared easily, yessir he did.

Max noticed a commotion up ahead, coming from the turbo lift, the sound of gunfire and shouts… of and a few screams. Swallowing he moved closer, noting that if he was spotted, there was no where to hide, so he would get in trouble for being out of his room. The turbo lift came to a stop and opened.

Max screamed and turned to run a blast of energy hit his legs and the next thing he was on the ground, unable to escape from the horrifying site.

~ ~ ~

"3...6…9…"

"9…3…6…"

"6…9…3…"

"9…6…3…"

"3…9…6…! Got it!" Tyson gave himself the peace sign as the door suddenly slid open.

"Go me, go me!" A curious raven head poked out of his room and looked left and right.

… He forgot to look straight ahead.

~ ~ ~

Kai sighed, dodging several bullets before pulling back and firing on the ships from upside down. Two ships left. Kai turned the fighter around, looking for the other ship he was near.

"Engines have been locked on."

"What?" Kai spun a full three’sixty before he saw the enemy ship a few metres away. He could see the energy gathering in its gun to fire.

"FUCK!"

An energy beam hurtled past his ship just as the enemy ship was ready to fire. For a moment all Kai could see was orange before the explosion cleared. Ray’s voice buzzed over the intercom. "Do not mention it Kai-san."

Kai gave a small smile of thanks.

The two ships drew back, searching for their last enemy.

A cold chill ran down Kai’s back…

TYSON!

Sweet notes: The shit has hit the fan.

 

. Glossary.

Upper level: The upper level of the world, pretty much a whole bunch of really tall buildings (think 80-200 storeys) with air ways, a place where most of the pure humans live.

Lower level: the real earth, beaches, and parks junk yards. Few pure humans live down here. It is overrun with non-humans.

Pure: otherwise called, ‘pure humans’ these are people with no genetic implants, no biological altering, no technology inside them at all. They are dwindling in numbers.

Genetics: people who were grown in test tubes basically, they vary in design and powers usually better at things then normal humans. Some people are altered after birth to become genetics; they usually live short lives.

Virtual holographs: Pretty much walking ghosts, they have no real substance and are only brainwaves coming from computers.

Cyborg: Most humans are either cyborg or genetic, cyborg being made of various metals, some cyborg never were human to start with, others are altered to a point they no longer are. They are pretty much robots. (Think the Borg… if you watch StarTrek)

Flesh collectors: cyborg made machines. Most cyborg get into fights and have their flesh ripped up, as they are incapable of regrowing this skin, they require new skin. This is what the Flesh collectors do. They find skin. Dead or alive is not important.

Moonain: A mysterious race of humanoid aliens. Said to be an ambassador of these people on earth. They resemble the Human Angel, and it is speculated that they have come to earth many times. They neither confirm nor deny this accusation. They have giant angel wings and are never directly seen unless the Human government has trades with them. They live on the far side of Neptune and refuse to allow a colony of more then four hundred humans to share their side of Neptune. They are incredibly mysterious. Most humans only ever see them once or twice on TV or in books. They seem to enjoy human media and allow any and all kind of writings or movies with their kind in them. They do not appear to have any children in their race, and refuse to explain why. Despite their similar structure to humans they are said to be very different mentally.

Hover board: A floating skateboard.

Insectiod domination: Several planets in different universes are controlled by large insectiod aliens which are extremely aggressive, Earth was once a prime spot for domination due to its large amount of food (humans) luckily the Moonain have easily fought off all attacks on Earth and the surrounding solar system.

Beastial warfare: Animal like aliens who seek to conquer other planets by using the animals already on it. There is a protective shield around Earth due to an incident in 1986, which almost escalated beyond control.

The Experienced: The Moonain version of dating. Not much is know about it’s effects on other races.
