The rebels

Chapter 4

"Hey Kai, I am going for a walk", said Ray as he looked in to Kai's room. Kai was lying in bed drawing. For once he was following the doctors orders and staying in bed for the rest of the day.

"Is that ok?", asked Ray.

"Since when did you become my babysitter?", asked Kai.

"I'll be back soon", said Ray and he left. The door closed with a soft thud. Kai felt his stomach tighten. He had a really bad feeling. He considered calling after Ray but Kai realized he wasn't Ray's babysitter either. He would be able to go on a walk by himself.

Kai lied back. His picture of the rebels was now complete. He had gotten so many answers already but there was even more that still had to be answered. He was ready to see the next part. His eye lids became heavy and he closed his eyes and drifted off into sleep.

(Kai's dream/flashback)

The rebels were trudging up a steep mountain. It had just snowed heavily and the rebels like the mountain were cold and covered in snow. They were climbing in single file with Kai in the lead because he had the keenest eyes that was important because he could spot danger easily also because he was a good attacker and could deal with trouble. Alla was behind Kai in case of an attack. She was the fastest on offence. Sean was next because the was good at leading support and he was good at fighting numerous fights at once. This meant if they were attacked to the front and the back at the same time they were prepared. Bradain was at the back because he had good tracking skills and could tell if they were being followed. He was also the strongest so he would be able to hold his own if he got separated. All this planning and protection may have been over the top for a normal hike up a mountain in a deserted part of Russia. But this was not a normal hike. This was the last stage of training and testing that the abbey had given the teams.

Everybody in the abbey had been entered in a team. At the start there had been 55 teams now there was only 5. The final test was a hike up a mountain. This sounded easy enough, the hard thing was the numerous surprise attacks that were waiting behind every corner. Only one team had past this test so far, the Demolition Boys. They had the test a few days before. Spencer had been injured badly in the test but other than that they had preformed very well. They had qualified for the qualifying rounds of the Russian tournament. Kai was sure they could pass this test.

"Hey Kai, Alla, what do you think was the hardest test so far", asked Sean.

"Em this one", said Kai.

"Yeah this one", said Alla.

"Not including this one", said Sean.

"The wall of beyblades", said Alla.

"The nerve test, you know the one with all the needles", said Kai shivering and it wasn't because of the cold. There had been an error with his first test one of the needle points broke while it was still in Kai's back. They had to remove it and redo the test. He would carry the small scar on his back the rest of his life.

"What about you Fachtna?", asked Sean.

(note: Sean is the only one who calls Bradain by his first name)

"All Biovolt tests are designed to push the applicant to their extreme in that area. To think that one is harder than the other shows that, the person is lacking excellence in that area", said Bradain.

"So which one are you not achieving excellence in?", asked Kai.

"None, I am the perfect Biovolt soldier", said Bradain smiling.

"Of course you are", chorused Kai, Alla and Sean.

"Whatever, but since we are taking about stupid things like weakness. What is with our team name?", asked Bradain.

"What do you mean what's with it", asked Kai. "I like our team name".

"The rebels give the impression that we are refusing to accept authority and resisting against established governments or power", said Bradain.

"Did you memorise that from a dictionary?", asked Kai.

"No! I am just saying there are better names out there", said Bradain who was starting to get annoyed.

"Like what?" asked Kai.

"Biovolt soldiers, Biovolt's loyal followers, something like that", said Bradain puffing out his chest.

"No", said Alla, Kai and Sean together. Each of them turned around and gave Bradain a death glare.

"Lets have a vote", said Kai. "Who wants to keep the name of the team the rebel?".

"I do", said Alla.

"I do", said Sean.

"Ok and I do as well that means that we as an established team have voted that we shall keep the name the rebels and anybody who would appose us would be, a what do you call it ah yes a REBEL", said Kai emphasising the last word.

"Whatever", said Bradain sourly. They continued walking in silence until Kai finally broke it.

"Ok guys looks like our first hurdle", said Kai.

"What?", asked Sean and Alla.

"Don't worry it's just a series of infer red lasers", said Kai. "I am more worried about the long ridge coming up it's a perfect place for an ambush".

"How can you see infer red lasers?", asked Bradain.

"I cant, but I can see the boxes that they come from and the angle that they come out at. So I can figure out where they go", said Kai.

"Do you think they are the lasers that cut or just te lasers like they have in banks?", asked Alla.

"I cant tell, but didn't Spencer have a giant cut in his leg", said Kai allowing his team to reach their own conclusions.

"Ok we shall deal with the lasers first. Follow me and only move where and when I tell you to move", said Kai. The rebels nodded in agreement. As a team they made it through unscathed. There were a few close counters when Sean had to walk on his hands to get through a laser. The rebels all had great balance so they were able to stay still.

They finally made it through and they all gave a sigh of relief. Suddenly a blade came flying out of a bush and headed straight for Kai's head. Alla grabbed Kai and dragged him to the floor they landed roughly on the ground piled on top of each other. The blade missed and was cut in half by the lasers behind them.

"Close one, thanks Alla", said Kai smiling. An explosion couldn't make her heart beat faster but Kai's smile could. She smile back.

"No problem", she said.

"Of course this is a problem", said Bradain. "This is a trap". As he said that the ridge was drawn back into the ground and behind it stood five machines each with numerous beyblades ready to be launched.

"You should have led us around Kai", said Bradain.

"There was no way around", said Kai. "This is the only path".

"Right so, we do what we do best, fight", said Alla as she loaded her blade. The others followed suit and loaded their blades. As one the launched their blades and attacked.

………………………………...

Ray walked through a dark park. He decided he would go and check on Tyson. It was a long walk to the train station but he wasn't strapped for time. He turned around a corner. This part of the park was abandoned. Rubbish blew in the breeze. Bins lay overflowing. A few pools of stagnant water lay in great patches on the grass. A street lamb flickered on and off nearby. Its light cast eerie and malicious shadows. Ray felt a presence his eyes moved quickly. He began to turn around. He stopped half way. He saw a new beyblade dish. It was a strange site. The rest of this section of the park was old. 'What was a new dish doing here'. 'Unless' the realisation hit him like a truck. 'It was all for him' Ray thought. 'Somebody knew he was coming this way and that somebody wanted to challenge him.

"So are you going to make me wait all night", said Alla. Ray looked up and saw a girl with dark blue eyes staring at him. The rest of her face was covered with a tight fitting mask.

"Why do you want to beyblade me", asked Ray.

"That is my business", said Alla.

"It's unlike me to turn down a fight but I have places to go and I don't trust you", said Ray.

"I understand but sadly the time when you had a choice in the matter has expired", said Alla.

"What?", asked Ray. Alla pointed to a tree behind Ray more specially a sniper in the tree.

"Care to reconsider Ray-Ray?", asked Alla.

"Doesn't look like I have a choice does it?", asked Ray.

"Nope", said Alla smiling like a school girl.

"Prepare to lose", said Ray.

"Haaa ahh if you say so Ray-Ray", said Alla. Ray frowned and approached the dish and loaded his blade. Alla did the same.

"Just so you know I don't really want to do this I am just following orders", said Alla.

"3, 2, 1, let it rip".

They both launched their blades. Ray was surprised at the comment but decided she was just trying to make him lose focus.

Gold and silver beyblades crashed into each other. Sparks flew and metal crushed. Alla's blade pushed Ray's back. They broke apart for a second and Alla's blade crashed into Ray's again.

"Digger no more messing around", said Ray. His blade began to glow. Alla went on the attack again. Ray's blade managed to push hers away. Alla's blade turned and hit back with more force then before. Ray winced. She was good. Time for reinforcements he thought. He just hoped she didn't have a bitbeast as well.

"Digger attack!", screamed Ray. His blade began to glow stronger and the white tiger emerged from its chip. Ray's blade avoid an attack. Digger was angry that he and Ray had been forced to fight. He roared loudly. Alla smiled.

"It's about time to bring out my secret weapon" Alla said.

"O no a bitbeast", said Ray.

"O yes, Nephthys lend me your power", yelled Alla. A woman with giant wings emerged. She had long white hair and her skin was white with brown spots .It quickly changed into a falcon. The falcon was large. It had a bent beak and like the woman it was coloured mostly white with brown spots. The falcons eyes was pitch black.

The two bitbeasts clashed. Digger pounced on Nephthys. His claws dug deep into her. She cried out in pain. Nephthys unfolded her wings and began to rise. Digger still had his claws embedded in her. He retracted his claws before Nephthys got to high. Alla's bitbeast flew a bit higher then nosed diver straight down. She rose again with digger in her claws. Nephthys began to dig her claws into digger. It was diggers turn to roar in pain.

"Nephthys final attack", screamed Alla. Nephthys began to spin around and around. Faster and faster she went until the two bitbeasts were a blur.

"Realise", ordered Alla. Her bitbeast let go of digger. Digger fell and hit the ground hard. Ray's blade started to shake and Alla's blade crashed into his for a final time. Ray's blade was sent out of the dish in two pieces. Alla's blade flew back to her hand. It began to glow white. She pointed to Ray's blade.

"No please don't take digger please", yelled Ray.

"Sorry no choice", said Alla. Digger was drawn out of his blade and sent into the copy of Ray's blade. Ray couldn't stop the tears streaming down his face.

"Don't worry he wont be alone", said Alla as she pointed the beyblade at Ray. There was a blinding flash of light. When the light faded Ray face looked blank his pupils were dilated. His eyes closed and he fell forward. Alla rushed over and caught him. Tears were stinging her eyes she couldn't do this anymore. She cried into Rays lifeless body. She could still hear his heart beating. She had not only taken his bitbeast she had taken his soul. She picked him up gentle. She carried him all the way through the disserted streets to Kai's front door. She place Ray down in front of the front door. She heard noises from inside so she left and disappeared into the night.

(Kai's flashback/ dream)

Kai lied back in his tent. Well not exactly his tent, they only had one. They were all sharing. He had been on look out for the last 2 hours. His shift was finally over. He had just woken Alla for her shift. He had accidentally woken Sean as well. He had just settled down when Sean poked him.

"What?", asked Kai.

"That's for waking me up", said Sean.

"I said I was sorry", said Kai.

"Kai can we talk for a bit?", asked Sean.

"Sure I am not used to 6 hours sleep anyway", joked Kai.

"Kai do you have any dreams?", asked Sean.

"Emm yeah normally, they are wired ones like singing in the bath filled with strawberries", said Kai.

"No, I mean like what do you want really really want?", asked Kai.

"I don't have any dreams like that", said Kai sadly. "I think I did once but I lost them all when I came to the abbey. Do you have any?", Kai asked.

"Yes. My dream is to go back to Ireland. I want to start a world class beyblading team and school", said Sean a big gleam in his eyes. "Do you think it could ever happen?".

"Yeah I think it just mite", said Kai smiling. Kai yawned and so did Sean.

"Goodnight", said Kai.

"Goodnight", said Sean. "Kai I am sure you will remember your dreams eventually".

"I hope so", said Kai as he drifted off to sleep.

………………………………...

Kai woke up. He sat up in his bed. He could hear somebody running up the hall. The door burst open.

"Kai, master Kai. Ray has returned. Somebody left him at the front door. He wont wake up I have already called the hospital and Kai we found his blade", Kai's butler slurred over his words. He produced Ray's blade from his pocket. Kai gasped. It had been broken in two. The digger bit was cut in half and blank. Kai eyes went wide. He got out of bed and ran to the door.

"Where is he?", asked Kai.

"He is still downstairs", said the butler running after Kai. Kai ran downstairs as fast as he could. When Kai reached the landing he saw a group of servants in the hall. He ran down the stairs, his feet pounding heavily on the rich carpet. The servants made a gap for him as he approached.

"Ray, Ray can you hear me?", asked Kai as he knelt down and shook Ray by his shoulders. He felt a lump in his throat.

"He hasn't responded to anything", said one of the servants. Kai reached for Ray's hand. It was ice cold. Kai tightened his grip on Ray's hand.

"Please Ray please be ok", said Kai softly. The ambulance arrived and the men and women lifted Ray up off the floor and into the ambulance. Kai hopped in too. Kai wiped a tear away from his eye before it could even fall. He took out his phone and took a number from his contact list. The phone rang a few times.

"Hello", said a sleepy Tyson.

"Tyson", said Kai.

"Kai what are you doing calling so early", asked Tyson.

"Ray's hurt. He is hurt real bad and digger is gone", said Kai hurriedly.

"Kai, where are you now?", asked Tyson.

"In the ambulance", said Kai quietly.

"Ok me and Max shall meet you at the hospital", said Tyson.

"Ok", said Kai. Tyson ended the call. Kai looked down at his friend. 'I shall make whoever is responsible for this pay, mark my words', thought Kai.

………………………………...

a/n: ok that took me ages I had so much other stuff to do as well. 'Sighs' a well. Do you think I should call Kai's visions of the past flashbacks, repressed memories, dreams or past. Also I need ideas for Bradain's bit beast which may be making his debut in the next chapter. It has to be Egyptian. This is or-chan signing out. Plase review.
