Part One: Moonbeams.
"Never in a million years would I have imagined Kai to be a traitor."
- You don't know me. How could you have imagined what I'd do? -
Kai lay quietly in bed, his thoughts going back to the events of the World Championships; one that the Bladebreakers had won and succeeded in taking the title away from the Russian team, Neo Borg. The final match had been one of the most exciting he, and everyone present, had ever witnessed. Yuriy and Takao; two of the most talented bladers in the world giving it their all for the match that would be the deciding factor of the Championships. In the end, Takao came out the victor; with him he took Balkov and Voltaire's chance at world domination. But what would it mean for Yuriy and the others?
"You betrayed us, Kai! What does that say for the kind of person you are?"
He sighed, fully knowing what was probably going on at the Abbey at that very moment. They would get punished, viciously, especially Yuriy because he was the Captain and it was his chance to bring back the win to Russia, but he failed to do so. Kai could almost hear what Balkov was probably saying at that very moment. It was the same speech he gave each and every time he was about to punish one of them.
"You had your chance, but you wasted it. You brought shame upon the name of the Abbey and upon me!"
Shame was not something you would want Balkov to mention in a sentence directed at you. It always meant that bad things were going to happen and it did.
He brought his hand up to brush away the stray bangs that got into his eyes. Forgetting about Balkov and the Abbey for a moment, his mind wondered back to Takao. The loudmouth always had a knack of putting his foot into his mouth, but this time he had gotten to Kai in a way that he never thought possible.
"Who can blame you, I mean, with Yuriy fluttering his pretty dark lashes, anyone would have fallen for it. I bet he's a pretty popular guy down at the Abbey, no wonder he became Captain."
Kai frowned at the words. He always took it personally when someone insulted Yuriy, be it that he's very protective of the redhead. He was his best friend, always there for Kai when he needed it and Kai was always there for him in return. And to hear those words, implying that Yuriy slept his way to the top, made Kai lose it. He said things to Takao, harsh things, but he didn't regret them, nor would he regret them anytime soon. Takao deserved what he got and Kai could care less what profanities Takao was shouting at him right now. The only thing that mattered to him was that Yuriy was at the Abbey, going through what inhumane punishment Balkov could come up with and for once in his life … Kai wished he were there.
