The rebels

Chapter 7

Kai felt a drop of water running slowly down his back. He was standing on the hospital roof. Kai was looking through the wire mesh that surrounded the rooftop. White sheets pegged on thin rope, blew fiercely in the wind. The sun was shinning. The light cast great, enormous shadows around the rooftop. The drop of water was not rain but came from Kai's wet hair. Kai thought a shower would clear his mind a bit. It hadn't worked. Kai watched his shadow. His white scarf was moving with the wind.

He knew Tyson would be worrying about him but as usual, Kai didn't really care. He had his own problems to deal with. Besides, he was probably still in bed.

Kai turned around. He was getting tired of the heat anyway. Kai walked across to the stairwell. Kai reached across for the stairwell door. It suddenly opened quickly. Kai's reflexes were excellent but even he wasn't fast enough to get out of the door's path. It hit Kai hard and he fell back. Kai was so embarrassed by being hit like that. The familiar loud laughter didn't help either.

(Start of flashback)

Kai looked around the room. Everything was so blurry. It kept going in and out of focus. Kai tried to focus on one point. The room was really dark which didn't help. The only thing he could tell was he was in bed. Kai wasn't even sure if this was a flashback or not. Suddenly the door opened and light flooded in. Kai shielded his eyes against the light.

"Kai, Sean get up, rise and shine. Come on early morning practice before the finals," said Bradain. Bradain was in one of his unusual happy moods. The light from the door cast light on the room. Kai could see the once empty bookshelf full of books filled with books in all sorts of languages. On top of the bookshelf was a glass case with a long dagger.

"We have to save our strength for the finals," said Kai sleepily.

"Please," exclaimed Bradain "that's an old wives tale, now get up before I make you," Bradain's good mood was disappearing quickly.

"We need sleep," moaned Sean.

"You went to bed early and you can go back to bed once we have finished", said Bradain who was now annoyed. "I thought you wanted to defeat viveras and restore Biovolts honour and get revenge for the shameful defeat".

"I want to restore the demolition boys, not Biovolts why do you want to?" asked Kai angrily.

"Because I am the perfect Biovolt soldier", said Bradain. Kai sighed.

"Of course you are," said Kai and Sean. Kai could also hear Alla saying it from across the hall.

"Whatever, I am still not getting up this early", said Kai.

"We have to practise," said Bradain. He stepped on Sean's bed and reached up on to the top bunk. He grabbed Kai and pulled him down into his arms. Kai was stuck.

"Hey, hey let me go, hey let me down," yelled Kai.

"You chose the hard way," said Bradain with a big grin on his face.

"You never said I had a choice," yelled Kai.

"I shall be back for you two if you don't come now," said Bradain. Sean and Alla both got out of bed and followed. Kai continued to shout and kick until he was dropped on to the gym floor.

"Are we going to train in our pyjamas?" asked Kai.

"Our clothes don't increase or decrease our beyblading skills," said Bradain.

"Unless you were wearing oven mitts," said Sean.

"Or a straight jacket," added Alla.

"Or a Mickey Mouse," added Kai with a smirk.

"Ok, ok. I don't know who Mickey Mouse is but I get it, you are all comedians. Now can we start training," said Bradain.

"Fine," said Kai. "You really don't know who Mickey Mouse is".

"KAI!" yelled Bradain. They had pushed him too far. They took out their beyblades and started training. They didn't train to hard but they were all glad when it was finally over. Kai yawned.

"Are we finished now?" Kai asked Bradain.

"Yep," said Bradain. "Go on, you can go back to bed". Kai was about to follow Sean and Alla out of the gym when Bradain called him back.

"Kai I was wondering what happened to your face?" asked Bradain. Kai rubbed his cheek gingerly.

"Nothing," said Kai. Kai didn't really want Bradain to know he risked missing the finals just to see Tala.

"Kai, you are a terrible liar. We will have to make up a story for the press. Of course it has to be simple so you can pull it off", said Bradain smiling at the last part. Kai hit him playfully on the shoulder.

"I shall take that as a joke," said Kai. "We shall make up a story before we go to the arena. I am too tired to function now," said Kai. Kai walked towards the door. It swung open quickly and hit Kai on the cheek. Kai fell backwards. Kai heard Bradain laughing loudly.

(End of flashback)

Tyson and his grandfather were still laughing. He was laughing so much it was a wonder his pants was still dry. Kai considered acting as if he was having a fit. If he did that then Tyson would be so worried he would forget the whole incident. Kai sighed. It wasn't worth it. He opened his eyes.

"Hey buddy. Thanks I needed a laugh," Tyson sighed. "It was so funny. My grandpa managed to knock the famous Kai Hiwatari to the ground. If this got out you would have a few less fan girls that's for sure".

"Tyson, shut up," said Kai who was very annoyed.

"I mean grandpa is so fail and old I can beat him at anything," laughed Tyson.

"What did you just say dude?" asked Tyson's grandpa.

"Em em," stammered Tyson. Tyson turned and tried to run away. Tyson's grandpa ran after him and tripped his up with his foot. Tyson fell comically to the ground beside Kai.

"Old and fail huh?" said grandpa.

"Why can you act like an ordinary grandpa for once," yelled Tyson at the old man. Grandpa reached down and gave Kai a hand up. "Hey what about me?" yelled Tyson. He received two evil glares. Tyson jumped up and followed Kai and his grandfather. He grabbed Kai's arm. Kai looked around.

"What?" Kai asked. Tyson waited until his grandfather left.

"Just so you know I am not going to be depressed any more. It won't bring them back. The only think that will is finding this guy and beating the crap out of him", said Tyson. Kai smirked and nodded. "Now let's go get an ice pack on your face before you get a black eye," said Tyson laughing.

"Hilarious," said Kai. "I shall have to pay you back for laughing at me," said Kai.

"How? Come on I didn't…," said Tyson. However, he stopped when Kai turned around and went out of the door. "I hate when you do that," said Tyson. Suddenly the door slammed shut and Tyson could hear the click of the lock turning. Tyson tried the door but as he suspected it was locked.

"Kai, Kai, KAI", yelled Tyson.

"Do you ever get tired screaming my name ," said Kai and walked down the stairs.


Tyson stormed down the corridor of the hospital. It had taken three hours for somebody to come up to the roof. Two boys who had gotten into a row had come up on to the roof to settle it with a beyblade battle. They had both recognised Tyson and they had asked for autographs. After he signed a few scarps of paper, Tyson raced down the stairs. He was going to kill a certain x-captain of his. Well not kill thought Tyson when he had gotten closer to Kai's room. Despite knowing him for years, he was still scared of him. He would just shout at him for a bit. Tyson could see Kai through the door. Kai was sitting down reading a giant book. He looked really bored.

Tyson heard footsteps from down the hall. He looked up and saw Mr. Dickerson.

"Hey Mr D," yelled Tyson.

"Tyson, my boy good to see you," said Mr Dickerson smiling. "How are you feeling?"

"Grand," said Tyson forcing a smile.

"I was just in to see the others," said Mr Dickerson. "Would you and Kai like me to treat you to a meal?"

"Kai has already eaten, but I would love to," said Tyson. He would not invite Kai to lunch as pay back.


Tyson and Mr Dickerson sat at one of the many empty seats in the hospital café.

"Has Kai really eaten already?" asked Mr. Dickerson.

"No," said Tyson truthfully.

"Then why may I ask did you say he did?" asked Mr Dickerson.

"He locked me outside for three whole hours and this was a small pay back," said Tyson simply. Mr. Dickerson nodded understandably. "He is always so so …," Tyson trailed off. "I mean we can never get through to him its so annoying. Even now after all that's happened he won't open up," said Tyson.

"You know somebody once told me Kai is like a book," said Mr Dickerson smiling.

"Really?" asked Tyson. "Is it because I don't get along well with either of them,"

"No well not really. They said if I remember correctly, he has a good-looking cover and many people pick him out of the library just for that reason. The summary on the back has only a few lines and they are all cold and mysterious. You can see it has been damaged in the past. There are still stains and tears outside and in. The book has many locks to keep people from damaging the insides again. These were not there at the start but have been added to protect the contents. But if you spend time and effort you may be able to open it. But if you force it open, it will fall apart in your hands,".

"Wow that's really insightful. Who said that?" asked Tyson.

"Sorry my boy, I am sworn to secrecy," said Mr Dickerson.


Tyson felt bad that he hadn't told Kai about lunch. He bought Kai a blueberry muffin after he was finished with his big lunch. He walked back to the room. He burst in without knocking.

"Hey Kai," said Tyson. Kai looked up form his book.

"Have you been up on the roof all this time?" asked Kai.

"No I went for lunch with Mr Dickerson", said Tyson. "Sorry I didn't come and get you".

"It's ok Mr Dickerson came and treated me to lunch about three hours ago," said Kai.

"So he knew you already had your lunch. I wondered why he wasn't eating much," said Mr Dickerson. Kai didn't bother to answer. Tyson sighed that Mr D was always up to something. Tyson sat down in his chair and turned on the TV. Kai frowned and returned to reading his big boring book.


A sudden knock on the door an hour later made both bladers jump. Mr Dickerson came in flanked by three guards.

"What's up Mr D," asked Tyson. Kai looked at the guards. They were big burly men with intelligent looks in their eyes.

"Well boys," said Mr Dickerson. "The most important thing to the BBA is the safety and well being of our bladers. Because of recent threats we are going to send all of you to a safe house".

"What!" exclaimed Tyson.

"Where?" asked Kai.

"I can't say exactly where it is but we are leaving now. Please pack up your things. Don't worry there is plenty of food. There will also be doctors there for yourself," Mr Dickerson motioned Kai, "as well as Ray and Max".

"They are coming with us, great," exclaimed Tyson.

"Please keep it down sir," said one of the guards. Kai got up off his chair and started packing. A few nurses came in and started packing Ray and Max's things. Tyson was stuffing his things into his bag. They wouldn't all fit so he so he squashing the things into his bag with his feet. Kai heard a big crack. After that, Tyson managed to get the zippers to close. Kai packed quickly. The two guards moved Ray and Max to stretchers and then they wheeled the out.

When Kai and Tyson were finished packing two nurses came. One was pushing a wheelchair.

"I am not going anywhere in that," said Kai pointing to the wheelchair.

"Sir we were told we had to bring one of you out by wheelchair," said the nurse timidly.

"You can bring me," yelled Tyson and he jumped into the wheel chair. The nurse was surprised but she just smiled and started pushing Tyson out. "And away we go," yelled Tyson with his hands in the air.

"Lazy idiot," said Kai as he followed Tyson out of the hospital room.

"Hey I am doing you a favour," said Tyson.

The nurses led Kai and Tyson down the hall. One of them opened a door marked private and they all hurried in. It was a small room with an elevator. The elevator door was open. They all got in. There were two guards waiting for them in the elevator. It was quite squashed in the lift.

"Your friends arrived safely," said one of the guards.

"Good," said Tyson.

"Now this is the plan. When we get to the lobby, we shall split up. Kai you will go with me and Tyson you shall go with Jamie", the guard who was talking directed their attention to Jamie. "We have arranged for people to crowd the lobby. We shall not be going out of the main entrance. We shall be heading for the staircase on the other side of the lobby. Understand?" asked the guard. Kai and Tyson nodded. "Tyson please keep your face hidden with your hat. Pretend you are asleep and don't say anything. You have a very loud voice".

"Ok gotya," said Tyson.

"Kai you shall have to wear this hat," said the guard as he reached into his bag and taking out a white NBA hat and putting it on Kai's head. "Two toned blue hair is a bit noticeable," said the guard in an apologetic tone".

"It suits you dude," said Tyson.

"Hn," said Kai turning away from the group. The elevator stopped but nobody made a move to open the doors. The guard was not finished with his briefing.

"I am afraid you also have to remove your scarf and cover the triangles on your face," said the first guard again. Kai scowled. Kai removed his scarf and put it into the man's bag on the floor. One of the nurses started to put on plasters that covered not only the blue triangles but most of his face as well.

"Hey, maybe you should cover his eyes. Not many people have crimson eyes," said Tyson smiling. Kai gave Tyson a scary glare.

"Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" asked Kai, his voice slightly muffled.

"Are you guys ready?" asked Jamie. Kai and Tyson nodded. The guard picked up the bag with Kai's scarf. He wasn't expecting it to be so heavy.

"O god what is that scarf made out of?" asked the guard. Jamie opened the door. They walked out and mingled with the large crowd. The nurses waved goodbye as the door closed. The guard followed Kai dragging the bag behind them.


They arrived down in the basement of the hospital. There were a few cars and an ambulance. Mr Dickerson was waiting for them. Mr Dickerson waved to them when he saw them.

"The wheelchair was meant for Kai," said Mr Dickerson.

"He didn't want it," said Tyson.

"I knew he wouldn't," said Mr Dickerson. "Well we are going to take four different routes to the safe house. Tyson that silver car is going to take you. Kai you have to go in the ambulance". Kai frowned but he didn't really care that much. Kai got in and he put on his belt. Kai noticed that ambulance seat belts are bigger then the normal ones. They really made sure you couldn't move. 'At least I don't have to lie down' thought Kai as the ambulance started its engines. The ambulance went up the ramp to street level.

"Do you want us to turn on the siren?" asked one of the men in the ambulance. "Everybody loves to ride in the ambulance when the siren is on?" said the man happily. "Should I ask Tony, the driver, to put it on?" Kai gave him a black stare.

"Not everybody loves the siren on," said Kai.

"But you would love it, right. Jerry put it on," said the man. Kai rolled his eyes skywards. This would be a very long journey Kai thought.


Alla frowned. Kai and Tyson had disappeared. She watched them pack and then go down in the emergency elevator. However, the elevator didn't stop were it normally stopped. She had some of the gang members in the lobby but nobody saw them. She had lost them completely. Mr Becket would not be pleased. She was now watching the traffic leaving the hospital. She watched as an ambulance came up the ramp from the basement. What drew her attention to it was it had no siren. Alla knew Kai wouldn't like the siren on. It was a long shot put it was worth a try. Alla was about to jump down from the tree when the siren came on. 'Not him then' thought Alla.
Kai was the first to arrive at the safe house. Kai guessed it was because they were scared he would have another seizure. The ambulance drove into the garage. Kai was only allowed out when the garage door was firmly shut. Kai walked into the house. It was big and spacous. There was a kicken and a nice cook. There was also a gym. There were no stairs only elevators. Kai went to the second floor. When he got there, he saw that his name was on one of the doors. He walked over to it and opened it. It was a bedroom. The room had a bed, a table, some storage space and a few chairs. Kai menatly shivered. It was just like the hospital room he had just come from. Kai looked out into the hall. Tyson's Ray's and Max's names were also on different doors. At the end of the hall were three doctors' offices. Dr. J Lang, Dr. L Mac Doneld and Dr. M Ward.

Kai heard the elevator door opening. He looked around to see an ambulance man and woman pushing Ray down the hall on a strecher. They pushed him into Ray's room. Kai followed them. They lifted Ray from the strecher to the bed. Kai sat down on the chair beside the bed. The ambulance woman made sure Ray was attached to all the machines. Then they both left without saying a word.
