Chapter 10
Meeting With Friends Again
This was bad, real bad. If Biovolt had new investors and was being funded by a big company which meant that it was trouble to many. And to make it worse they were being supported by a Biological Enhancement company which would only further the research that Biovolt was already making. Which was dangerous to the majority of people that were interested in beyblading, because no matter how much they didn't want to get involved, they somehow did. Even if it was in one of the most minor ways. And it would make beyblading somewhat of a danger at times because if Biovolt couldn't get the bladers they wanted in their position than they would try to eliminate them so they could not take the side of the B.B.A. And if they were not stopped than who knows what Biovolt would do if they had somehow won the World Championships that were being held later that year.
"So what are we gonna do, besides hoping that we aren't in the same Block as each other". Asked Tyler sighing.
"We take them down genius". Stated Bryan.
"I know that, but the how part is where I'm stuck". Retorted Tyler.
"Cool it. I know that we aren't alone in this. Knowing Tyson, Max and Daichi, they'll help along with the rest of the Rouge Stars, so will the God's Epic, Tiger's Shield and the Golden Battalion because they have been involved with Biovolt one way or another. They probably will side with us if worse comes to serve". Stated Rei stepping between Tyler and Bryan.
"Yeah. But there's a problem with that. The other team, the Phantom Hawks, what about them"? Asked Tala.
"They go down as well". Stated Griffin in an icy tone.
"Why"? Asked Johnny.
"They are followers for Blaze Quest Enterprise. They think that whatever Biovolt does is right. They will not switch sides. I know". Stated Griffin getting up and sighing and getting up.
"How do you know that"? Asked Bryan.
"I asked". She stated looking over at them.
"Right. Anyways we have another problem. This tournament is done in Blocs, what if one of our allies get taken out"? Asked Rei.
"Then we advance without them". Stated Kai simply and coldly.
"But-" started Johnny.
"Look if they get taken out, they get taken out. If they can't pass the first round than they might get into a lot of trouble if they were against The Abbey Shadows or the Phantom Hawks". Kai explained, which truthfully was correct.
"Fine lets go back to the main floor the first round is going to begin soon". said Tala shaking his head.
The two teams traveled through the hallways seemingly bored out of their minds. And that was how an argument began between Tyler and Johnny about who was the best character in Naruto. Johnny was saying Naruto was the best while Tyler argued that Kakashi was the best.
"No way"! Said Johnny.
"Yes way". Replied Tyler.
"Naruto is way cooler"! Yelled Johnny.
"As if. Kakashi is tons better"! Shouted Tyler.
"Naruto"!
"Kakashi"!
"Naruto"!
"Kakashi"!
"Naruto"!
"Kakashi"!
"Naruto"!
"Kakashi"!
"NARUTO"!
"KAKASHI"!
"NAR-". Started Johnny but was cut off.
"Shut up"! Yelled Griffin which they both did immediately.
"Look quit arguing about something so stupid". She stated trying not to twitch. "Besides Sasuke is way better than both Naruto and Kakashi put together". She said smugly walking away from the two.
Leaving Tyler and Johnny standing there opening and closing their mouths like goldfish. Chase, Rhythm, Tala, Rei, Dylan, Ryan and Damien started laughing. As the continued on their way to the main ground floor, they began to hear sounds of arguing coming from down the hall. Casting each other curious glances the began heading in that direction. Upon arriving there, they saw that it was the team called the Rouge Stars.
"Look Coke is way better than Mountain Dew"! Screamed Tyson.
"Nuhuh, Mountain Dew kicks ass"! Retorted Michael.
" Coke"! Yelled Tyson.
"Mountain Dew"! Screamed Michael.
"Coke"! Yelled Tyson.
"Mountain Dew"!
"Coke"!
"Mountain Dew"!
"Coke"!
"MOUNTAIN DEW"!
"COKE"!
"MOUNTAIN DEW"!
"CO-"! Began Tyson before he was cut off by Tala.
"Geez would you guys shut up. And here I thought that after one stupid argument that would be it, but no. we get another dumb argument about what type of pop is better". Said Tala.
"Yeah. I agree it's a pointless argument especially since Pepsi kicks both their butts". Stated Griffin
putting a coin in the vending machine and taking out said beverage.
"How does she always get the last say in everything"? Bryan whispered to Rhythm.
"Dunno, but its sorta creepy". Rhythm whispered back. Bryan nodded his head in agreement.
"Hey! Who do you think you are"? Asked Tyson.
"Um... well I'm Griffin". She said looking kind of confused, I mean what are you supposed to say to that.
"Wait your that kid on the Black Blade Dragons team. That little pipsqueak that was totaled by Kai"! Exclaimed Tyson.
"Who you callin' pipsqueak, you oversized monkey"! Yelled Griffin turning to face him.
"Would you two shut up". Stated Kai speaking up and glaring at the two.
"Aye, Aye Captain Kai". Said Griffin smiling cheekily saluting the taller boy, receiving a glare.
"Griffin, Quit. Doing. That". Hissed Kai.
"Doing what, oh wondrous captain"? Griffin said innocently.
"That". He stated.
"Aye, Aye Captain Kai; I shall do as you wish". Griffin said giving him a mock bow.
"Is this normal"? Max asked Rei.
"For those two? Yeah it is". He said looking back at the two bladers.
"How long does this usually last for"? Asked Michael.
"Until one of them snaps". Answered Johnny calmly.
"Look Tenshi, you're going to be getting extra training if you don't shut up". Said Kai coldly.
"But dear captain it is my duty as your subordinate to respect you". Stated Griffin smiling.
"Then respect me by shutting up". Kai said his left eye already twitching.
"Fine, fine, but I win this round". Griffin said before drinking her pop again.
"Whatever". Stated Kai glaring at the shortest member of his team.
"Kai, long time no see". Said Tyson offering his hand to his former captain.
"I know". Smirked Kai taking the proffered hand and giving it a firm shake.
"I guess we'll see whose team is better, won't we"? Asked Tyson also giving a smirk of his own to the older boy.
"I guess we would". Kai retorted.
The next little while was spent with the teams getting reacquainted seeing as the God's Epic, Tiger's Shield and the Golden Battalion met up with them as well. The talked for awhile before they were called to the main floor because the matches were settled. Upon arriving there, they saw that the other two teams were already there waiting. The teams looked up at the large screen and nodded as they gazed up at the first two teams that were going to battle.
"Now that you've seen the first match up for the tournament I suggest, all teams go and rest, and put together strategy to counter your opponents. I wish you the best of luck in the opening match tomorrow". Announced Jazzman.
"Wait, you mean the tournament isn't officially starting until tomorrow"? Yelled Tyson.
"That's right kid". Answered Jazzman.
"Aw man, that sucks". Muttered Daichi.
"I agree with you there shrimp". Sighed Rick.
"Well the next 24 hours are going to be boring". Muttered Enrique.
"Tell me about it". said Mariah.
Soon after the stadium started filing out and only the teams and Stadium Employees were left. But it seemed as though the Abbey Shadows and the Phantom Hawks had disappeared already. So it seemed as though the teams had today to themselves, well they could put it to some use. But than again after getting your adrenaline running only to find out that the tournament wasn't being held for a while made the teens somewhat bored and saddened. But thanks to Tyson's prattling the teams decided to throw a small Reunion Party, well as small as it could get with the girls planning it. And somehow the 7 teams were all going even if it meant dragging certain people along.
So that was why Kai was sitting on the couch trying his best to be oblivious to the world and people around him. But it was proving to be difficult, especially since the music was blaring to the point of hurting his ears, people were trying to shout OVER the music to be heard, people kept bumping in to him, trying to get him to dance and do things he would never degrade himself to doing. What amazed him though was that these idiots were able to sneak in some alcohol without get caught; so maybe they weren't all that stupid. Then he felt a weight drop beside him, and being in a pissed off mood he decided to glare at the person and tell them to get lost. But it just turned out to be Daichi, and no matter how many times someone yelled at him, he would bounce back with twice the force. Well at least he wasn't Tyson after all almost anyone was better than Tyson .
He sighed; he really did ate parties. People in his opinion were to carefree for their own good. Kai abruptly got off the couch and headed for the door; they should be happy that he at least decided to show up. Whatever, not his problem, they all knew how much he hated anything that involved crowds or groups of people in closed corridors. Walking out on to the roads he realized that it was pretty cold out so far and it wasn't even winter. Well at least he was out of that over-crowded room and was outside now. But there was a little voice in the back of his head that told him something was wrong though he ignored it. Walking through the streets of London brought back memories of when he was there with the rest of the BladeBreakers. They were on their way to the World Championships in Russia, which they had amazingly been victorious in. Speaking of which, (A/N: it should be thinking of but still you get my drift) what had happened to Voltaire and Boris? He hadn't anything from them, with the exception of the phone call that happened before they had left for London. He was absolutely positive that they were up to something, though he didn't know what that something was. He sighed maybe he was delving to deep into the problem. And that was when he heard screaming coming from the direction of the hotel he was staying at.
"Crap". Was the only thing he said before he began heading in the direction that he came from.
Kai quickly arrived at the hotel... or what could be seen of the hotel seeing as it was being burned down. He had a feeling that this was Biovolt's doing which meant that something bad was about to happen. Knowing the way that Boris thought Kai came to the conclusion that this was all just a distraction and that the real trouble was just beginning. "What the hell is going on"? I asked a teenager that was watching the chaos unfold in front of us.
"Seems as though it caught on fire".
I refrained from saying 'No Shit' to this idiot.
"How"? I asked hoping that at this answer would be a little more intelligent than his last.
"People say something caught on fire in the main floor. I doubt that though, my opinion is that it was arson". Stated the kid. I raised an eyebrow at that.
"Well, do you know if anyone is in there"? I asked. I didn't want any members of my team dead or injured; it would ruin the chances of us advancing to the next round. And their also my friends ut its not like I'm ever gonna admit that to them anytime soon.
"The top 2 floors. The elevator crashed to the bottom not long ago and the stairs collapsed so if anyone is on those floors right now, their probably trapped until the crew gets the fire under control enough to get them out". He said looking up at the building and then back at me.
That was not good. My team and the others were also on the top floor. I was hoping that they were okay but somehow I think that was just wishful thinking. The fire burned even more now, and I thought that the firefighters were suppose to help put out the fire not make it worse, when I noticed something. I saw a shape behind the hotel, and it looked a s an animal. My eyes widened, it was I bitbeast. Damn it! No wonder the fire wasn't going out, it was created by a bitbeast and it couldn't be put out by ordinary means.
Arriving at the back of the building and spotted a few cloaked people. And it looked like the other 5 others were also going to be launching their beyblades; and if they did that then the place would definitely crash down instead of burn down. And I didn't know which option I like better, so I think I'll go with choice C, I take them down before they have a chance to do anymore damage. Pulling out Dranzer I locked him onto my launcher waiting for the perfect moment to take them down. But he knew this was going to be one hell of a fight; every god in existence was against him, weren't they? All of a sudden the building creaked and groaned. And with little warning the escape ladder crashed to the ground with tremendous force causing the street to shake and tremble a little. Which was also followed by a few loud screams. That was all Kai needed to believe that his teammates and friends were still trapped in there; which meant that he had to act fast or risk them being killed.
"I guess we aren't needed after all, this place is gonna crumble any minute now". Said one of the cloaked figures.
"Then we can leave"? Asked another.
"Yea I suppose so". Said the first. And the cloaked people began leaving.
Kai sighed, at least he wouldn't have to waste his energy trying to beat those bladers, especially since he needed all the strength he had to help people he cared about. Now exactly how was he going to go about this rescue mission?
YANG: I'm so sorry that I took so long to update this. I know that this chapter is really crappy, but that is the best I can do while running on empty fuel. I hope you get why I didn't have the battles start in this chapter. If you didn't, it was because this was only the opening ceremony. Anyways I'll try to update soon.
IMPORTANT:. don't get mad at me for placing that whole argument thingy in there. ( the Naruto, Kakashi and Sasuke thing as well as the whole Coke, Mountain Dew and Pepsi thing), i also don't own any of those
