Chapter Forty-one Confounding minds
"What are we going to do?" asked the bored Jackie, "because this is getting out of hand and I want to get my brother back and the other guy."
"I agree if we don't get them back, for one Johnny would never forgive us for leaving a team mate behind and two he'll probably kill us for not doing anything."
"I don't get how they can get another Tala; we're beat." Max said.
"Ya don't think." Tyson replied sarcastically
"For once in your in your life Tyson you're being serious, thankfully," commented Robert.
"Nah, that is his sarcastic outlook to the situation," explained Ray.
"Well he better pull his act together before the tournament," remarked Kai.
"Okay guys, any ideas how to beat the demolition boys?" asked Max, trying to bring in ideas.
"Nah" blurted out Tyson.
"We better think of something before we run out of time."
Jackie asked, "By 'we' do you mean us or Johnny and the other guy?"
"Both I guess," commented Ray.

Tala sat in the snow covered plain watching inventively for any sign of movement, his beyblade could be seen spinning a few meters away from its master.
Suddenly a sharp crisp crackle could faintly be heard directly behind. The beyblade rapidly spun over into the direction of the sound. Followed by a large shredding noise, it sliced through the snow-covered tree diagonally, resulting in the whole plant to tip over onto the ground.
Tala closed his eyes and muttered; "Timber…" a smirk appeared at the edges of his mouth.
The tree was almost cleanly cut, only a small splinter refused the onslaught of the spinning blade, although leaving not a scratch upon the surface of the beyblade. Tala called Wolborg back to his hand and the beyblade readily obeyed. Tala stood up and eyed the scenery with expectations and awe.
Walking over towards the lake Tala stood watching the gentle coat of snow washing over the treetops and feeling the cold chill on his skin. Staring at the dark foliage of the snow capped trees; it reminded him of the silence during the night. How the night was the time when he lingered through the chills and pure white blanket covering the ground, his time, as the 'frozen knight' crusading through the forest.
Tala's mind then rounded to that night when Kazuki was in the water of the freezing lake, yet when she left the water, she didn't show any signs of discomfort. Then he considered the dark eyes reflecting the night's shadows, as though they were keen eyes that watch inventively for the darkness to become one with her.
Suddenly a crisp sound of the rustle of leaves snapped Tala out of his thoughts. He cursed and said to himself, "How can a person like me feel these petty emotions, it is sickening. What would the others think of me?"
"Am I losing my touch or is it that my program is malfunctioning? On the other hand, maybe it was all Boris' doing by forcing me to hate by using Kazuki. Then why was it that she was a different person on that night. Was she using me or was she being herself, I don't know anymore," cupping his face with his hands.
As he took one-step, a sharp pulse went through his body. The eerie electrical pulse returned, he thought, "What is it, electrical interference from the abbey computers? Where is it coming from? Who made it? Was it something to do with Kazuki? Is she in trouble?" Tala's mind started to work faster trying to find the answers but then he remembered his promise to himself.
"I can't let anything in my way; I need to conquer the power. I need to hate her, for hate is the ultimate source for power."

"Father… I mean sir, is something wrong?" asked the teen.
"None of your business, now mind your manners," growled Boris
"Sorry." holding her gaze at her shoes.
They both walked to a corridor leading to the dungeon. They walked into a room that had two soldiers and two prisoners tied in chairs. One had red hair and the other was the man that she met while in Scotland, he was about Boris' age.
"Kazuki," Boris turned to the raven-haired girl standing slightly behind him.
"Yes sir," stepping forward.
"These are your toys to play with, do as you please but don't harm them….too much," Boris turned and walked away but giving emphasis to the last two words then marching away.
When her father left Kazuki finally took a closer look at the two prisoners. She first asked the older man who he was and why he thought he was here, then facing the red head teen that had his gaze at his feet ever since she walked into the room. He looked up at her dark eyes, Kazuki examined the red head's features and as she thought of the colour of the teen's hair, a strange feeling rushed through her body. Then it clicked into her psyche, the dark untamed red hair and the ice-cold blue eyes…Tala. Why did the image of Tala appear in her mind? It puzzled her, the red haired boy and Tala didn't look alike.
She asked the teen his name and he replied, "Johnathon McGregor, a member of the Majestics."
Kazuki was silent for a moment and thought, "Maybe that was the reason that I thought of Tala is because they both have red hair and that triggered a connection, besides this Johnathon McGregor is a beyblader too."
Feeling a bit confused Kazuki asked the guards to open the door for her to leave.
Black Dranzer asked, "What is the matter girl, are you feeling sick or tired may be? We want you to be a hundred percent for the tournament."
"I know mother, I was just thinking about something."
"I hope your thinking won't affect your beyblading Kazuki." Black Dranzer replied.
"I'm just tired mother; maybe I will go and lie down for a bit." Kazuki supposed.
Black Dranzer asked, "Can I talk to the guards for a moment darling?"
"Yes, you may mother."
Black Dranzer said to the soldiers standing guard, "Make sure the prisoners don't escape, we will be back later for our play date." Chuckling as it then switched back with Kazuki.
Kazuki walked back to her room and saw Tala standing outside his and the other boy's room, they stood there watching each other until Tala got impatient and walked away.

Jackie was leaning out on the balcony of the huge McGregor estate watching the many birds and animals playing in the sunshine. This reminded her of the many times that the siblings played in the estate gardens with the animals.
"Johnny where are you?" Jackie said as she watched the birds fly by.
She sighed and made a promise to herself, "I will get you back brother, Changer will find a way to defeat those people who kidnapped you I swear I will do everything in my power to get you back if that is the last thing I will do. If they hurt you I will punish them for what they did."
Robert all of a sudden appeared and walked to over where Jackie sat.
"Hey what are you doing here by yourself?"
"I live here remember and I could ask you the same thing Robert."
"It's a lovely view isn't it?" Robert enquired smiling hi usual self he continued, "Can you beyblade Jackie?"
"I haven't beybladed since I was little, why?"
Oh, it is just that I think that I know the identity of the mystery blader."
Jackie raised an eyebrow in curiosity, "Really, who do you reckon they are?"
"I think it is a girl we all know, you especially Jackie."
"Who?" leaning her body closer to Robert in an interrogating position.
"You of course."
"What! That is ridiculous Robert. How can I be the Changer if I don't have a beyblade anymore?" Jackie was appalled.
"Well you could have got another or you could still have your original one. Admit it already because I have bigger fish to fry."
"Don't be stupid."
"You are the Changer so stop denying it already."
Sighing Jackie gave in, "Fine, I m the Changer. Okay big whoop." She took a breather then continued, "How did you find out?"
"Simple, I saw a necklace like the one Johnny gave you for your birthday then just now I said that I knew the identity of the Mysterious blader; I didn't say anything about the Changer. You exposed yourself by saying that you couldn't be the Changer."
Yeah yeah, just don't tell my parents because they don't like me beyblading let alone having a bitbeast."

"What was that about?" Kyle enquired.
"I don't know but something about her makes me feel uneasy."
"The way she looked at you was quite daunting." Kyle remarked.
"Maybe it is something to do with me being Kai's friend well more acquaintances. Dude I think it was something to do with your face that put her off or something cause she is quite hot for a chic that is working on the evil side," remarked the Scottish teen.
"Aren't you a little old for her."
"What I meant was that it was a shame that she didn't like you."

"Mother, I feel puzzled." Kazuki complained.
Black Dranzer replied, "Just lay down for a while, I think that you are just feeling a bit exhausted ever since I was united with you."
"Yes mother,"
Black Dranzer thought to itself, "This vessel better last or I will not be able to fulfill my destiny."
"Um…mother did you say something?" Kazuki questioned.
"What…. It was nothing my dear; I was only thinking to myself." Black Dranzer thought, "Darn it how can she tap into my thoughts, if she has that much power then it will be hard to stop her from finding out my mission."
"Do you love me mother?"
"Yes I do little one," Black Dranzer said sympathetically.
"Can you give me a hug mother; I want to feel your warmth."
"No I can't Kazuki!" Black Dranzer scolded.
"I'm sorry mother, it was a stupid question."
"Come on let's go into your room."
