Chapter 11; To the Rescue
Boris laughed, as the guards left the basement. "Oh, but we have already got away with it. Aion Hiwatari and Chrono Kon are wanted for something they haven't done, and no one will believe them if they begin protesting. And there's nothing the two of you can say, that will help the slightest."
"Well, then it's good we've always preferred acting instead of talking."
Boris turned his head sharply, just to see the brick making contact with his face.
Rei and Kai watched as Boris' tall body fell to the floor, a heavy thud echoing through the room. They blinked a few times, before they turned their heads slowly towards the entrance to the basement.
Aion let the brick he had in his other hand fall to the floor and stepped towards Kai, untying him from the chair.
Kai said nothing, and let his father help him to his feet as he watched Chrono run forwards towards Rei, untying him from the chains. He watched as Rei wrapped his arms around his father's neck as soon his arms were free.
Chrono held his son tight, though, his grip eased as Rei winced. Few seconds later, he let go of Rei, letting him stand on his own two feet. The first his sight took in, was Rei not supporting his weight on his right foot, and hadn't done it either when he was let down at the floor. Chrono's eyes travelled further up to see the tear in Rei's pants, noticing the hole Kai had widened since he had removed the bullet. Besides that, then Rei had bruises covering his arms and his jaw was turning a dark color as well. The older Kon's amber orbs narrowed dangerously, his eyes travelling towards the unconscious man at the floor.
Rei grabbed his father's arm, before the man would advance at Boris's unconscious form. His father had kept a lot of secrets that Rei counted on getting out of him as soon they were out of that damned place, but it also meant that he had no idea of what his father actually were capable of doing. If his father would point the gun to Boris's forehead and fire, Rei had no idea, but he did not for his father to do such a thing. "Please, let's just get out of here…"
Chrono sent a dagger glare towards Boris, before he nodded. He supported Rei so he didn't have to support as much weight on his bad leg, and began moving out of the basement.
Kai looked up at his father, spotting the saddened gaze on the older Hiwatari, though; he still didn't get just a glance from his father. Turning his own gaze towards the floor, Kai hurried after the Kons, his father right at his heels.
Once they were up from the basement, and stepped into the hallway, there was something alarming for all four of them.
There was way too silent.
"… Why is here so silent?" Rei looked around, the uncomfortable feeling he had only becoming worse for each second.
"Shh," Aion stood still, listening to everything, just the slightest thing, as well as Chrono. Rei closed his mouth and listened along with Kai, like their fathers did.
There was a weak sound in the distance, not easy to make out.
Rei and Kai blinked, exchanging confused glances.
That's when another sound came in ears reach.
Moving feet. And lots of them.
Aion's eyes narrowed "The alarm has been set off, and the guards are coming towards us."
Kai grit his teeth and clenched his fists, one of his hands gripping one of Rei's in a tight grip. "What the hell do we do now?"
Aion and Chrono did notice Kai's grip on Rei's hand, though none of them made a comment about it as now was not the time. The two of them exchanged looks, then nodded.
"The two of you are going to follow Aion, I'll distract them. The only thing you're going to think about now is to get out of here, and then get the police. Explain them what really is going on," explained Chrono, before a smirk tugged in his lips "There's no need to worry about me. Those guards are running around with unloaded guns, and if they're not capable of putting up an actual fight, then I'll find my own way out."
Rei didn't like the fact of being separated from his father in a situation like this, but he had nothing to say in that matter. Aion and Chrono hopefully knew what they were talking about, then he and Kai could go back to be angry at their fathers once they were out of that damned place.
Aion had noticed Rei's condition, and in a swift move, he had grabbed Rei, and tugged the young male onto his back, before setting off in one direction, Kai right at his heels, while Chrono ran in the opposite direction.
Chrono ran down the hallway, unaware of the figure that slowly began to follow him from where he had split up from the others. He just kept running, running right past the guards who came from another hallway, making them follow him straight away.
Aion, Rei and Kai moved quickly and carefully down the hallway, keeping an eye out for any guards. Just because Chrono was distracting a bunch of guards, it far from meant he was distracting all of them.
Getting to a halt, Aion let Rei slip down from his back, and stepped towards a corner of the hallway there was turning to the left. Only in the last second, Aion threw himself backwards before a baseball bat collided with the place on the wall where Aion just had leaned against.
A supposedly guard stepped around the corner, swinging the baseball bat in his hand and stepping forwards menacingly. "You're not going to leave this mansion."
Aion snorted "Let's see about that." He glanced backwards at Rei and Kai "The two of you continue, but be careful. I'll catch up with you when this guy is gone." Aion's crimson eyes narrowed as he turned back to look at the guard with the baseball bat.
Rei and Kai exchanged looks before they nodded. Kai was about to move to support Rei, when the Chinese took the lead, running past the guard and running around the corner where the hallway turned to the right. He wasn't running normally, as the ache in his leg had only become worse over the last hour. Kai followed Rei suit.
The guard growled as the two teens ran past him, and was about to turn and run after them when Aion attacked, ripping the baseball bat out of the guard's eyes. An evil glint appeared in the Russian's eyes as he now was the one in control.
Rei and Kai continued their running down the hallway, listening for any sound of any other people than the two of them. Their fathers were distracting guards, and they had no single idea of what was going to happen with them.
Suddenly, yells were heard throughout the hallway, and the teens stopped abruptly where they were. They listened and heard one of the sounds they just didn't want to hear at the exact moment; the sound of many guards approaching them.
"Damnit, damnit, DAMNIT!" Rei hissed, trying to figure out which direction the guards where coming from. Though, the echoes through the hallways made it impossible.
"This way" Kai grabbed Rei's hand, while he opened an unlocked door. He dragged the Chinese inside, and closed the door behind them. Both of them leaned against the door, holding their breaths as the sound of the guards running past the door were heard.
Minutes passed by, and the hallway went silent. Both boys let go of the breaths they had held.
"That was close," Rei sighed deeply, limping closer to the middle of the room. The room was filled in darkness, which for now felt soothing to them, as then it had to mean there was no one in the room. Now, they just had to listen carefully, 'cause if their fathers were to run past the room, they had to let them know they were here. After all, Aion had said he would catch up, and it couldn't be long before he would run past the room.
Rei wasn't fond of the knowledge that Aion had been about to shoot him, but… Aion hadn't shot him. He knew it was because of his father, but he could also see in the older Hiwatari's eyes that he regretted what he had done. Still, Aion had not shot him. Boris had. This only made the difference in where Rei's trust would lie on this rescue mission their fathers were trying on.
Kai followed Rei, his mind one chaos. Rei was safe for now, and it was only because their fathers had arrived to save them. Now he just hoped they would make it out of the Hiwatari mansion in time, and get to the police to tell the truth, and have Chrono and Aion's names cleaned.
That's when the light switched on.
Rei and Kai froze to where they stood. Slowly, they moved to look to who and where the light had been switched on. They turned to see Voltaire.
They were in Voltaire's office.
And Voltaire was standing next to the door, and could easily move in front of the door to block their way.
Damnit!
"What a surprise to see you here, boys." Voltaire spoke with a clear and dangerous voice, taking a step forwards, causing Rei and Kai to take a step backwards. "You should know you're never getting out of here, and neither are your fathers."
The two teens narrowed their eyes, but still stepped backwards as Voltaire stepped forwards. This didn't look good, not at all. Who knew, Voltaire could run around with a gun as well, preparing to shoot one of them..?
That's when the door was kicked open from behind Voltaire, Aion stepping into the room with raging eyes and a gun pointed right at Voltaire's head "Step. Away. From them."
Slowly, Voltaire turned around, facing Aion with narrowed eyes. "You are in no state to give me orders, filth."
Aion snorted, suppressing a mocking laughter "Says a murder."
Voltaire just glared at Aion "You have no proof of that."
"I'm pretty sure with today's technology that it can be proven you killed my parents." Aion eyes narrowed, and a low growl escaped his throat.
Voltaire just shifted tactic and smirked, "You're going to drop that gun, Aion. You still do not know how to use it properly."
Aion's eyes narrowed furthermore "Let's see if that's true." There was a click from the gun as it loaded and prepared; only waiting for Aion to fire. Though, one thing alarmed Aion; the fact Rei's and Kai's eyes went wide.
In the split of a second, Aion spun around only to be met by a baseball bat which sent him reeling to the floor, along with destroying his glasses, some of the sharp pieces piercing the skin of his face. The gun in his hand flew across the room.
Boris threw the baseball bat he had picked up on the way, away from him, and found a gun in his pocket, pointing it towards Aion's head, as the male on the floor moved from lying on his side, to be on his back, supporting himself with his elbows.
Aion moved a hand to move the shards of glass out of his face, sending dagger glares in Boris's direction while he growled.
Boris just smirked evilly, "You should have learnt to behave and do as you were told thirty years ago, Aion." Boris moved the gun to aim lower and fired.
Kai's eyes widened "NO!"
Aion let out a hiss of pain, refusing to let any kind of sound like a scream or whimper escape his throat. He spoke through gritted teeth, "You. Sick. Bastard."
Boris glanced at Voltaire and smirked as the older man nodded. "We'd better teach you how to behave, since you still haven't learned that." With a swift move, Boris pointed towards Kai and fired.
Kai let out a howl of pain and stumbled backwards as a wave of pain shot through his shoulder along with the bullet. He felt Rei's arms wrap around him from behind, stopping him from falling, along with he heard Rei and his father call out his name.
Aion eyes narrowed even more than they ever had done, and he moved to stand up, when he heard the click from the gun. He just stopped dead in his tracks. Boris still held the gun in his hand, and Aion was not fast enough to get it out of his hands, before he had fired at least once more. Who knew, Boris could kill Kai next time he fired.
He was helpless.
Boris smirked evilly "That's right. Don't move." With that said, Boris delivered a hard kick into Aion's gut, followed by another one, until he almost flew across the floor until his back hit the wall.
Kai's eyes widened. "No… Not again… Not this time… STOP IT!"
Boris and Voltaire just laughed, while Aion growled. The purple-haired man in the room moved to point his gun back at Rei and Kai "Now, I expect you all to behave just nicely."
"Oh, Boriiis. You haven't forgotten me, have you?"
Boris blinked, before he turned around to look through the door into the office where the voice came from. Voltaire's, Rei's, Kai's and Aion's eyes looked towards the door as well, to see an extremely pissed Chrono stand with the baseball bat Boris had thrown away after he had let it collide with Aion's head.
So far Chrono was missing one of his sleeves, which made the hole after a bullet in his shoulder clearer, while blood trickled down the side of his face from his temple.
Chrono kept running, quickly rounding a corner where he threw himself against the wall, and tried to be the wall, as guards just kept running forwards where Chrono had rounded the corner. He let out a sigh of relief as all the guards seemed to be gone for now.
Walking around the corner he had rounded, the sound of a bang reached his ears just a split second before a searing pain went through his shoulder. Gasping in pain, he stumbled backwards, while his eyes looked up to see Boris advancing on him.
Boris ran forwards, letting the gun slip inside his pocket as there was no more bullets in the gun, but in his pocket, for now. He reached out to grab the tall Chinese, only getting a grab of the red sleeve and pulling it towards him.
Chrono tried to throw himself backwards, but was nonetheless pulled forwards. The sound of his sleeve getting tore off reached his ears, before the brick in Boris's hand collided with his temple, sending him reeling into the wall.
Boris threw the brick to the floor, turned around and walked back the way he had come from, before he followed Rei, Aion and Kai. Walking and leaving the Chinese man unconscious on the floor.
Chrono growled loudly, swinging the baseball bat around for full force. Not to his wish, it didn't collide with his head, as Boris threw himself backwards. Though, the baseball bat still collided with Boris's hand, throwing the gun across the room.
Or rather, threw it over to where Aion was lying.
Aion grabbed the gun and got back to his feet, pointing it towards Voltaire, while Chrono advanced on Boris with the baseball bat.
Rei and Kai supported each other the best they could, getting out of the way, because this was far from going to be a nice sight.
Though, as they thought no more unexpected could happen, they figured they were wrong.
"FREEZE! Drop the gun and the baseball bat to the ground and hold your hands in the air where we can see them!"
