Author's note: I've finally done chapter four, which is a little different and may have a few surprises. Lol so I hope everyone who reads this enjoys it. Thank you to all my reviews of the last chapter:
Fireiegurl: Thanks for your review, here's the next chapter, hope you like it.
Cat in the Web: Max is a little bit messed up, but I was never going to be as cruel as to make Rei a prisoner. Lol you're right in your guess as to why Max is there, his split personality has caused him a lot of trouble. Thank you for reviewing.
Two sets of blue eyes stared at each other. Neither one moved but just looked at each other in shock. Tyson stood there, unable to move or say anything, he just stood numbly. The spell was broken by Max suddenly shooting up and quickly running over and slinging his arms around Tyson in a strong hug. He stood there unmoving for a few seconds, before wrapping his arms round his old friend.
'I'm so sorry,' Max whispered, he suddenly started to shiver and Tyson felt his shoulder starting to become wet.
'Why are you sorry Max?' he muttered back.
'I knocked you out.' He muttered.
'Might have knocked some sense into my head,' joked Tyson.
Max laughed quietly and slowly let go of his friend. 'I've missed you Tyson. Why did you just leave that day?'
'I had to Maxie,'
He stared back looking betrayed, 'I would have gone with you.'
'I've been through hell, you were better off here.'
Max looked coldly away. 'I've been through hell as well Tyson,'
Blue eyes looked at him in a confused way.
'Bio Volt caught me Tyson, they brain washed me Tyson. Didn't you see it earlier?'
'I don't get it, why are you here then?' he replied.
'I found this place; I came here and tried to destroy it. I did something to a friend, who hates me now and I can't blame them. Mum caught me, I have a certain amount of control now, and they got through to me. I have to concentrate to be like this, and I'm weak for weeks later and can't sustain it. That's why I had no control Tyson; I had a mixture of emotions I couldn't control. It's like there's a part of me I can't control and I'm trapped.'
He was suddenly cut off by Rei making a strangled noise. Max quickly rushed over to him and hugged him lightly.
'Rei's still the same then?' asked Tyson looking down. His brain was filling up with so many thoughts; it was the first thing that came into his head.
Max's face became unreadable, 'I hate what they did to us Tyson, and I hate Kai for taking our bit beasts and I hate them for doing this and I hate them the most for doing this to Rei. Do you know how much I hate working for them, everything I detest I have to do, I hate myself!'
Tyson stood silently watching the out break. Max now seemed to be shaking from the effort to keep in control. He suddenly looked Tyson in the eye.
'Tyson, why won't it stop hurting?'
Their eyes suddenly met in understanding.
'I still miss Dragoon,' he whispered.
Max looked down, 'I don't mean that, I mean why my heart won't stop hurting?'
Tyson looked thoughtfully between Max and Rei. 'Because if you truly love someone, it never stops hurting.'
A look of understanding passed through each of their eyes.
'Do you reckon he'll ever be the same?' asked Max nervously.
Tyson looked down, 'I don't know.' He suddenly clenched his fist and rubbed angrily at his eyes.
'You still love him, don't you?' whispered Max.
'No I don't.' hissed Tyson harshly, 'I hate him, I hate him, I hate him!' he angrily punched a wall, and then silently stared at his fist with a painful look forming across his face.
Max stared at him unconvinced. 'I'm glad it was that easy for you to switch off your feelings.'
Fiery eyes glared back at him, 'What is your problem, I'm supposed to hate him, he's done all this stuff to all of us!'
'But I know you still love him,'
Tyson looked heartbrokenly down to the floor, 'yes I do, I'm sorry. I love him so much it feels like I'm being ripped apart, but he doesn't care and half of me wants to hate him, but I can't hate him!' he quickly hid the tears forming in his eyes, with his hair. 'Why are you making me say this Max?'
He paused for a second before the door was slung open. Rei suddenly started whimpering, so Max made his way over and started to whisper gently to him.
Mariah suddenly smiled gently at them both and then softly to Rei. 'How is he Max?'
'The same,'
'I thought so,' muttered Mariah sadly. She suddenly turned and smiled gently to Tyson, 'I've brought you some clothes,' she passed him some black jeans and a red shirt. 'They may be a little big, we have a shower room. I think you should use it.'
Tyson scratched his head, 'Are you saying I need a wash?'
She raised her eyebrow at him, 'You smell bad Tyson.'
Max suddenly started laughing across the room.
'Couldn't you have been more tactful?' glared Tyson.
'And missed the look that came across your face? Come on Tyson, you need to be washed, fed and ready for a meeting with the leaders.'
'Wonderful,' mutter Tyson sarcastically, 'do they want me to kiss their feet as well,'
Mariah gave him a cold look.
'Okay I'm coming.' He smiled at Max, 'Can I talk to you later?'
Max's eyes suddenly became shaded, 'I won't be here Tyson, and I'll be at Bio Volt. My head's killing as it is.'
Mariah smiled, 'I'll see you later Max, and I'll look after Rei for you,'
Tyson looked thoughtfully at him.
He suddenly noticed the stare and smiled. 'I'll be back Tyson, soon as I can,'
Before he could reply, Mariah angrily pulled him away to a room and pushed him out the door.
A while later Tyson stood nervously outside a room. He was now wearing a red shirt which was a little long and some baggy black jeans. He found it weird to not be running, his instincts were going overtime and telling him to go, but for once he felt relief to finally be somewhere and to rest. The warm water had stung him in the shower, and it felt weird to be doing something so normal. He couldn't decide exactly what he felt, all his feelings were harshly mixed up and slowly eating away at him. Now he was waiting in a creepy hall way, so see the so called people in charge. This wasn't exactly fun. His lips felt sore from the warm soup, and he felt a little sick from being so full. He'd met a person called Hillary while he was eating, and she had spent most her time yelling at him; for getting himself in such bad condition and being dehydrated, he didn't like her. He could tell it was still night, because most the people in this place were still asleep and there wasn't many. The door suddenly opened and Tyson steeped in warily to a dark room. He could make out five figures sitting at a table and one at the side. His eyes were taking a while to adjust to the darkness.
'Tyson,' said a cold voice.
This definitely wasn't a warm welcome. If it was any warmer there would be swords flying at his head. 'Yes,' he replied to the voice.
Bright eyes seem to consider him for a few minutes before someone else spoke.
'It does seem to be him,' this time the voice was more feminine.
'But how do we know this isn't another trick by Bio Volt, remember the traitor Max.'
'How dare you!' Tyson suddenly yelled, 'Max isn't a traitor, and if you knew anything, you would know the effects that Bio Volt has on its victims. But by the looks of it all you do it sit in a dark cave, doing absolutely nothing. You haven't been out there, so how would you know anything at all?'
Harsh whispering suddenly broke out from the table.
'How dare you talk to us like that, we are higher up than you? We could easily remove you from this place.'
Tyson glared at where the voice came from, 'I don't think anyone would remove me, or listen to you. I have something you want, so you better stop treating me like this and also show my friends some respect!'
A voice suddenly laughed spitefully, 'Your friends, the traitor of Bio Volt and the person who doesn't even know his own name. We are far more superior.'
Tyson realised he didn't like these people. They were far to up themselves and needed a reality slap. 'If you call your self superior with comments like that, then you are far below anyone I know. Everyone is equal, and you should stop being so high and mighty and realise it.'
The laughing suddenly became more louder.
'You are a deluded fool, we are in charge and you will listen and do as we say!'
This time he'd had enough, 'I want to see who you are.'
'You do not have the privilege and we are doing important work to try and create electricity. Leave us now, and we will consider in maybe letting you stay.'
Tyson smirked, 'I can sort that out,' He drew out a launcher he had found and picked up earlier and slotted Dranzer into it. He quickly realised it and suddenly power washed through his body. It was like a warm glow surrounding and protecting him. For the first time in years he felt warm and happy as Dranzer flew round the room, illuminating the faces of the people in charge.
For a few seconds they all held their eyes from the bright light and Tyson quickly looked at him. Judy was the figure at the end, and then there was a person he didn't recognise, who had dark red hair, with piercing green eyes. His eyes trailed more along the table to meet Robert, from the Majestics. Then there was a blue haired boy, he finally then recognised Emily who had longer hair, then it finished with the person who had been speaking to him so coldly. He gasped in shock. It was Kenny, his friend Kenny who had never done anything to anyone, was sitting there being horrible and cold. Tyson vaguely wondered what had happen to him. Before Dranzer shot back into his hand and he was pushed out the room by Emily, and the door slammed shut afterwards. He stood there for a few seconds almost numb.
