Chapter 50: The Second Challenge
Kazuki led the two to another iron door. To their left three figures approached they were, Spenser, Ian and the tight lipped Bryan.
"Hiya Kazuki we are here and even found Tala on the way. I think he might be coming soon," said the large nosed boy.
"Fine whatever," replied the girl.
"What is up with her," Johnny wondered.
"I hope that he doesn't turn up so then I can finally be recognised as the strongest around here," thought Bryan.
The faint footsteps could be heard coming room one of the corridors. Standing before the group was the only red head whose air defied gravity.
"Okay wolfie boy is here so let's get started." Kazuki eyed all the boys except the red haired. When her eyes rested on Bryan she pondered, 'There is something wrong with that guy, though he isn't showing much facial expression or body language she could tell that there was something bothering him.'
"May I take over little one?" asked Black Dranzer.
"Yes mother tell them what to do in this test," answered Kazuki mentally.
"Okay let's begin, the six of you will fight separately to survive and try to bring each other down."
"Why are we here for Kazuki?" asked the Russian blonde.
"You four boys are here to do some training and I want to test your skills. Any other questions... No then let's begin."
Kazuki opened the door and cold air rushed out then with a snap of her fingers lights lit up a room revealing a frozen wasteland. Crisp white snow, cold rocks and dense frozen trees.
"You all stay here while I go and check that everything is perfect," she left the boys feeling awkward especially Johnny.
A while later Kakuki returned, handing the Demolition Boys the jackets, "What is this for, I'm not wearing it and I don't take orders from a girl let alone you," complained the purple haired Russian.
"You will if you want to prove yourself against everyone her Bryan," stated the raven haired girl.
Bryan unwillingly put the jacket over his torso.
"Okay I will explain some points; 1. Try to stay alive and eliminate the other opponents. 2. There are no rules that permit you from anything but try not to kill each other, Boris wouldn't like his team slacking off now do we? 3. If your blade gets down to 5 you're eliminated."
"Now go and hide because I'm in this game too but out of courtesy you get a 2 minute head start and I'm not using my beyblade." The male bladers looked puzzled.
"Stop staring and go already make use of your time wisely because this is going to be rough," instantly all 6 darted off in different directions.
Black Dranzer turned its attention to Kazuki, "Now I want you to track down you opponents and eliminate them."
"How can I do that if I can't use my beyblade?"
"There is more than one way to cook a turkey little one. The answer might be under your nose."
The Russian girl thought to herself what the solution was, 'right under my nose' she looked down, "Ah my flute," gently she unsheathed the silver blade. Eyeing the scenery and recovered the blade and started to charge through the thick snow.
Johnny and Kyle had split up and managed to hide in different places. Not far off was Spencer leaping in the trees not far away from Johnny. Instinctively the Scottish boy launched his blade in an attempt to eliminate him before it happened to him.
Spencer reacted to the incoming blade and launched his Seaborg. Both blades stood on opposite sides with at least 20 meters separating them.
"I see that you prefer to be the hunter than the hunted."
"Wouldn't you?"
"Yes I would," replied Spencer who was a tree behind his blade.
"Attack!!" shouted the Scot.
"Have it your way, GO!"
"Bring it on. The bigger they are the harder they fall."
Both blades jumped from the branch to branch the suddenly fell to the ground, both were still spinning.
The red haired's blade shot out to the side while Spencer's followed behind.
"Cat and mouse is it now?" commented the Russian.
"One problem Samalyon isn't a mouse or a cat for that matter."
"Either way goodbye."
"Not if I can help it."
Both blades sped to each other and crashed, sparks flew out from the blades until both were weakened and finally stopped.
"No!" both bladers shouted, they took a quick glance at each other before picking up their idle blades, then a sharp electric current surged through their body until there were two half unconscious bodies in the white snow.
Ian found Kyle in a clearing then they were battling against one another. Suddenly Kazuki appeared in a nearly tree.
"Hello boys, how are we doing so far?" she leapt behind the large nosed boy. "Hello Shortie," with a raise of her hand she reached for the dagger and sliced it across the boy's back.
"Bye Shortie," she whispered, Ian looked stunned then a sharp current of electrical pulse paralysed him and he collapsed onto the snowy frozen ground.
Kyle stunned mouthed, "You killed him."
Kazuki started to walk away, "No I didn't but if you want to help your friend he's half unconscious in the forest near the door.
"Aren't you going to eliminate me as well?" yelled Kyle after the girl.
"What's the point when you are not one of the people I am testing," Kazuki disappeared.
Bryan alertly walked through the crisp snow looking for the others, "Where are they? You can't all be eliminated already I didn't get to do anything yet," there was one person whom he wanted the most to fight against, "Where are you Tala I want the pleasure of eliminating you myself. Then I will be the strongest not you me!"
Kazuki went in search for the rest of the Demolition Boys.
She leapt through the trees, she stopped for a moment and looked behind her but no one was there. She kept going then the feeling came back.
Kazuki stopped again closed her eyes and listened, faint breathing could he heard.
She kept going until she came to a large cluster of dense tree trunks; she disappeared off to one side. Her pursuer followed but when they got closer the realised that there was no one there. Looking both ways and around but there was no trace could be found of the girl.
A strong yet slim arm came across his neck and a blade was held against his throat, "Hello wolfie boy how are you doing?"
Tala replied, "I have been better as least there wasn't a blade held against my throat like now,"
"This is a challenge isn't it, only that you must get rid of your opponents. Simple really if you think about it."
"Yes and your point being?"
"My challenge to possibly get rid of whatever is tying me down."
"What does that have to do with me?"
"It is you the most over the others. Not the two prisoners or the rest of the Demolition Boys Tala but you."
"What me, what I done wrong. I have only been following Boris' direct orders nothing more and nothing less."
"You are the root of my problems; I won't have to always justify my worth to Boris if you didn't first get involved in my affairs."
"Like I said before I didn't do anything wrong."
"Then tell me why I always find you near me? In my dreams my mind and nearly everywhere I go?"
"I do no such thing for one Boris puts all of us, the Demolition Boys and you to train together. Two he made you a cyborg too, you know and you can block other people's thoughts if you want to and three, it is not my fault that you dreams include me. I have no power over what you think and it doesn't mean anything."
Kazuki fell silent but constantly kept a grip on her dagger against the boy's throat. Before thinking it through she moved the blade down right over the heart and with one quick motion made a diagonal slice.
"Well then I might be insane or there is more than one side to me." She whispered then shoved the Russian boys away and disappeared.
The boy lay on the ground clutching the wound. 'This is why I should be staying away from her and I have. It is not as though this is my entire fault and why I am in her dreams and around her because of training.'
Kazuki watched from a nearby tree, she thought, "It is better this way that is probably my lesson for today. Don't hold people too close because they will only get in the way of more important things."
She walked away in search of Bryan; it didn't take long as he found her.
"I am going to get rid of you myself; I wanted the privilege to dispose of Tala myself. My issue concerns him not you. I am supposed to be the strongest in this whole wretched place me not him or anyone else."
"Well Bryan you aren't the only one who has issues that concern Tala. He is the reason that I was held back of all my abilities so naturally I eliminated him myself and now the chains are cut and I am free to do as I like."
"I would rather beat him on my terms but since you beat me to it your loss will suffice" Bryan launched his blade, "Go Falborg feather tornado," the rapid attack rushed at the raven haired girl hitting her with numerous slashes. One was made at the edge of her lip, it started to bleed.
Tastefully she licked it, "Well done Bryan but that won't weaken me so take your best shot."
She lurched forward and instantly the blade shot toward the girl. The blade came towards her and she deflected it as though it was a feather. Coming closer she knocked the Russian blader to the ground and with a swift motion a stab wound appeared on his stomach, "To you Bryan I am just a small girl who gets in the way, who is not worth your time but I see myself as the angel of death. So you better be with me or against me, either way you are not getting in my way."
"You aren't to tell me that Kazuki Balkov is the strongest in the abbey, you are just a blader with potential no more than that, without Boris interfering you would be nothing but a weak and useless pawn like your ineffective brother."
"Well I do see your point Bryan but you are totally wrong, Boris wouldn't have interfered to improve my skills of I wasn't worthy to become the strongest," remarked Kazuki.
"Come on if you feel that way will you at least consider a truce?" the purpled haired teen struggled to get up.
"I thought that you don't sow weakness Mr All-Big-&-Mighty."
Bryan stood up, "I'm not; let's say that I like to keep my friends close but my enemies even closer."
The purple haired Russian looked at the girl thinking, 'I wonder if I can kill two birds with one stone? I can get the power I deserve from Kazuki's position and at the same time break down Tala. I know that there is something going on and I want to use it to my advantage."
Kazuki broke eye contact first and started to silently walk away, "If I were you I'd get a bandage for that cut."
She was out in the hall when a voice appeared in her mind, "What did you do now?"
"None of your business so but out Red," Kazuki replied.
"It is my business; you did something that affects me personally so shut up with the insults."
"Stuff you Wolf boy, I did it for your own good now leave me alone. Everyone else is injured so why don't you go and fix my mess if you don't like it."
"Why should I of it wasn't my fault."
"Go away already if you want to talk to me do it face to face or are you a coward now Red?"
"You shut your trap, all you are doing is stupid, why al the revenge when everyone did nothing to you. Bryan, Ian, Spencer and the two prisoners have nothing to do with this so why include them?"
"I don't know what you are talking about so go away already. I have said it so many times now so leave me alone."
"Fine one more thing meet me at the lake, midnight.'
"What for? Why would I waste my time?"
"You do it of you want and you should know by now that everything is not as it seems to be."
"Fine have it your way but I'm not making any promises."

The moon was nearly high in the sky, Jackie was looking out onto the frosty plains, 'Wow how a place like this can be so beautiful yet be dangerous and at time become so cruel."
"You do know that it more than a huge freezer," came a voice.
"Oh you scared me there Kai," Jackie sounded quite relieved.
"Well what do you reckon?"
"About what are you referring to now?"
"The scenery of course, I want to know your opinion."
"Why should I tell you what I think that would be just a waste of my breath? Besides why would you want to listen to someone's opinion but your own Mr Sourpuss?"
"No reason, just bored so I have to pick on someone. Tyson is getting old so I'll bug you for a bit."
"Go away Kai I want peace and quiet so that I can think."
"No, so what do you think?"
"If I answer will you leave me alone?"
"Maybe yes or maybe no."
"I am waiting."
"What are you waiting for?"
"For an antisocial you sure talk alot and the insults as expected you never run out."
"I do my best."
"I have never heard you talk this much even when I was the Changer."
"So are you going to analyse my life and what I do or are you going to answer."
"I think that this is a silent place full of mystery and secrets from life's core."
Kai looked confused, Jackie explained, "I said that it is silent and a distant world of its own. There are protections that guard the secrets and emotions from the world because it is afraid what will happen."
"Forget I ever asked."
The Scottish girl scoffed, "You are such a stubborn jack ass aren't you.'
"Naturally I'm blue flame."
She payed no attention to Kai's remark, she stepped onto a rock levelling herself she lifted her arms up as a gust of wind passed around her. Next minute she leaned too far and nearly fell if it weren't for the pair of strong arms that pulled her into his chest. They looked into each other's eye until the childish Tyson came rushing into their direction. Then the rest of the gang appeared, "Come back here Tyson give back our food... Oh sorry are we interrupting something?" Oliver reluctantly asked.
Suddenly Kai let go of Jackie and she fell to the ground, "Oww Kai what was that for?" complained the girl as she rubbed her backside, the two toned Russian simply walked away.
Robert helped her up, "Thanks Robert at least you have a sense of decency, not like a certain person I know."
They heard a faint grunt indicating that Kai was still near.
"My pleasure I wouldn't be a gentleman if I didn't help you," he gave her a warm smile.
"So what did Tyson do this time?"
"The usual hogging all the food."
"How did he manage to do that?"
"Do I really have to answer that question; I think you already know the answer."
"What does he have a food detector now?" Robert arched his eyebrows, "You have got to be kidding me," she started to laugh until Ray came asking when they were to leave.
"Let me check the time...10:32pm Good I think it is time to get going. Robert And Ray can you two tell the others I'll go and get Kai and tell him myself," she walked of then added, "Don't forget to dump snow on the fire and discard the branches. I am off to find the Mysterious captain."
