My Grandpa's Back
Chapter 4
Kohari: Hello. I'm back again. As lousy as twelve sounds as the number of reviews for this story, I will continue. If just to annoy those who aren't reviewing and whose favorite Internet pages I take up empty space on. Well...here we go again. Don't you just love merry-go-rounds?
"M-Mister Dickenson!" Kenny stammered in surprise when he was the one to pick up the phone. The others were out training, and he was the only free one at the moment. It had been a whole day since they had all moved in, and they had all gotten used to the place. It was an interesting place, one had to admit. After you get lost a few times, you sort of begin to appreciate the building. They had even found themselves calling the mansion home.
"Yes, Kenny. Get the rest of the team over to my office immediately. There's something you may want to see." The poor old man seemed a little flustered. Kenny wondered why.
"We'll be right over, sir!" Kenny blurted out, understanding that this was an important matter. He didn't even hesitate to say "good-bye" before he hung up the phone and rounded up the others, barely able to speak, he was so distressed. They wasted no time in gathering up their things and blowing the joint.
Angry honks and shouts of profanity haunted them as they ran throught the streets, Tyson so anxious he didn't check to see what color the stoplights were on, which were many times on red. When they reached the BBA building, they were all sweaty and their hair quite messed up. They received many questioning looks from the secretary, who didn't seem to want to believe Mr. Dickenson had called for them until he confirmed it himself.
"I won't waste your time. I believe my staff has already done that. You may or may not want to see this, boys," Mr. Dickenson appeared slightly worried as he flipped on the television. It was on the worldwide news channel, and the lady at the desk was going on about a discovery.
"A distrubing discovery concerning the escape of Voltaire has reached our attention as a recent investigation regarding the man behind Biovolt's private jet was found missing from the premises. Authorities have not yet determined the vehicle's (?) whereabouts, but it is predicted that the criminal is headed for Japan. This has yet to be confirmed. More details will arrive shortly. In other news -"

Mr. Dickenson's visage was twisted with apprehension. The team wasn't exactly a pack of the world's happiest campers either. This discovery was indeed disturbing. Who knew what resources Voltaire had in Japan. And who, exactly, would he come after first? Kai, who betrayed him? Tyson, who sealed his defeat? Or Mr. Dickenson, who planned it all? It was anyone's guess.
"What're we gonna do, Mr. D?" Tyson asked fearfully. It was the question on everyone's mind. They all remained quiet to hear the BBA president.
"I'm not sure, Tyson," Mr. Dickenson regretted to say. Disappointed faces lined the room. All were silent for some time regarding the issue.
"We should split up," Kai suggested, breaking the silence. Everyone stared at him, intrigued by his comment. "It'll be harder for him to find us if we are spread out. It'll be a lot safer for all of us."
"Kai's right," Ray said. "It would be a lot better for us."
"Yeah," Max agreed. Although the emotion that stuck out in his mind, he made an effort to be supportive of the plan. It seemed like the best idea they'd have on the matter.
"But..." Tyson started, and everyone's attention was focused on him.
"Tyson, it's the best idea we've got," Kenny explained. "It's the smartest thing for all of us."
"But what if we're attacked?!" Tyson exclaimed making everyone jump. "There's no way any one of us can take on all four the Demolition Boys at once!" This made everyone think a little. "Except maybe Kai with BlackDranzer," Tyson muttered as an afterthought.
"Then we should split up in pairs," Kenny announced, typing on his computer, asking Dizzi for advice while offering his own. "That way, if we're attacked, we'd stand at least a small chance."
"And we could always return to our own countries for a while," Ray pointed out, though he didn't seem too enthusiastic about the idea. Max was the only one that noticed this, him being the only other one to know Ray was...we know. Poor. Truthbetold, Ray was wondering if it would hurt his village's economy if he returned even for a short time. The whole reason he had entered this program was to save up some money. Now, complications like this were popping up. What was going to happen?
"Each of our countries has a team that we can hang with until the danger's past," Max continued Ray's train of thought. But it weighed heavily on his mind about Ray's village's condition. None of them had ever seen it in person...but...
"But where would Kai go?" Kenny asked, mirroring everyone else's thought on that matter. True, they may be safer in other countries, spread across the world, but was the effort worth it in the long run?
"What do you think, Mr. Dickenson?" Tyson inquired of the old man.
"I'm not sure what should be done, Tyson," the elder answered sadly.
"I don't think it's worth it," Max cut in. "After all, it's gonna cost a lot to transport us there. Our team's strongest of them all anyway. It'd be easier just to stay here and watch each other's backs." Tyson, Ray, and Kenny nodded in agreement.
Kai was a little angry that they didn't take the hint. He had thought that maybe if they split up, then Voltaire's attention would be focused solely on him. Then they could be safe, at least. For some time, anyway. He couldn't run forever, and neither could they. But it would still take them a while to catch up with them all if they weren't together.
"Come on, Kai," Tyson broke into the captain's thoughts. "You wanted us to go into groups so that your grandfather would come after you and leave us alone. We can't let you do that. We're a team, and we're supposed to look out for one another." Kai sighed. Was it that obvious?
"Yeah. Remember? The D Boys couldn't beat us when we resumed being a team, and no one can beat us now that that bond is stronger." Ray's speech, added to Tyson's, revived somewhat of a team spirit in the others. Kai was reluctant, but it appeared that he had lost. Even Mr. Dickenson was beginning to agree that that was the best thing to do.
"It's settled!" Tyson announced, rubbing his nose in that overconfident way. Somehow that simple overconfidence inspired Kai.
'Whatever you're planning, Grandfather,' Kai thought, watching the team try to convince Mr. Dickenson they didn't need to be relocated. 'You won't succeed. When I first met them, I didn't think they'd ever make it this far. But now, I truly believe they are invincible. You will not win.'
Voltaire
The roar of the jet couldn't be heard to the ears of Biovolt's creater as the aircraft sped toward Japan. He had failed once, and he would not fail again. This time, the world would be his.
'Kai. I'm coming for you. And your little friends. With your power at my fingertips, I shall be unstoppable!'
Kohari: Okay. Another chapter done. Short, I know. So, what'dya think? Oh, and I got a question. In series 1, didn't it say that Voltaire was the guy's last name? So what's his first name? And why's everyone referring to him as Voltaire Hiwatari? And those who think that's his name, isn't it a little rude to call your "master" (in the case of the D Boys) by his first name? Just a thought. Anyway, I'm off topic. Review, and maybe I'll write another chapter! Byes!
