Chapter 14
"Go on then launch the blade and get started. Oh and I almost forgot, you friends will be watching you destroy their blades. So get moving," ordered Boris.
Kai lifted up the launcher and ripped the dark blade, making it land in the middle of the dish, his team mate's blades circling around it. He could feel the dark energy coming from Black Dranzer, and tried to fight it as best as he could.
"Attack them," said Boris. Kai couldn't do it, he didn't know if they were really his team mate's blades or not.
"I said attack, or do I have to remind you of what will happen if you don't," sneered Boris.
'I'm sorry,' mouthed Kai "Black Dranzer attack," shouted Kai.
Black Dranzer sped towards the green blade; the bit beast came out in an effort to protect his master's blade. Kai cursed under his breath, they were real. Black Dranzer came out of his blade, screeched and tore Max's blade to shreds. Kai could see the bit chip glinting in the dull light.
"Good now destroy the other two."
Kai obeyed without a second thought, Black Dranzer's control was getting stronger.
In three minutes three smashed blades lay in the dish, the black blade spinning round them as if admiring its work.
"Good now go and destroy their bit chips," commanded Boris obviously enjoying this.
Kai hesitated for a second before slowly walked over to the dish. He picked up the three bit chips, put them under his foot and crushed them. Hearing the crunch Boris smiled, knowing now they couldn't defend themselves.
"There you go Bladebreakers; your once faithful leader has destroyed your means of uprising against me and your escape. I'm sure you're ever so happy with him."
Kai couldn't look at the screen; instead he stared down at the floor.
"I'll be back soon, so you stay here and be a good boy," said Boris as he slammed the iron clad door shut.
As soon as Boris had gone the screen turned itself off, and then Kai looked around for any cameras, seeing there was none took the bit chips from under his foot, totally undamaged. 'It worked,' he thought as he pocketed them. He then looked round for any Beyblades and spotted a whole pile in the corner. Unluckily most of them were damaged, Kai searched through the pile until he found a few good looking ones.
Just then Boris came back in, "Now it's time to start your training."
"But I already destroyed their blades and their bit chips. Why do I need to train?"
"Because I see Black Drazner hasn't fully taken over your body yet."
"So, does it matter?"
"Yes it matters a lot."
Kai suddenly found it hard to breathe, and tired to suck in as much air as he could, but he couldn't get any. He felt his chest tighten and he fell to his knees.
"Get up boy," shouted Boris. Kai couldn't hear him as he fell onto all fours.
Boris strode over to him and kicked him so he was on his back.
"I said get up," he shouted again.
Kai's eyes were closed and guessed he'd passed out, or maybe was pretending to. So Boris again kicked Kai in the side, he didn't respond, he did it again getting harder each time.
With the Bladebreakers
The Bladebreakers were dragged back to their cell after witnessing what their team leader had done, via a screen in a different room. After they had been thrown in and the door was slammed shut, Tyson decided to let out his anger.
"How could Kai do that, I thought he was our friend," shouted Tyson as he punched the wall.
"How did they get our bit beasts?" asked Ray as he checked his pocket to make sure he was seeing properly as did the others.
"They probably took it when we were asleep," guessed Max.
"They what do you mean they Kai was probably the one that took it himself."
"He did say he was sorry," quietly said Hilary.
"But that doesn't bring back our bit beasts Hil," shouted Tyson.
"Just be thankful that you still have your lives and your friend," shouted back Hilary.
"Just because you love him you have to defend him he destroyed our bit beasts Hilary, do you know what that means, no I don't think you do because you've never had one before. How can you defend him anyway he's a traitor now."
"How can you say that Tyson after he just saved your life."
"What do you mean our lives; he most probably did it to save his own."
"Tyson you are so stubborn you know that, didn't you listen to a word he said to us yesterday? Boris would have killed us and you know it, you're just saying that because you want to find new ways to be mad at him," shouted Hilary close to tears.
"Why would I want to find new ways to be mad at him? I already have enough to be mad at him for a lifetime. Hilary our bit beasts our gone and they're not coming back do you understand that?" spat Tyson.
"Yes, I know they were you friends your partners in battle. And I have an idea of how you feel-"
"That's it Hil, you don't. You don't know what it feels like to have a friend like that, to always be by your side, y-"
"Okay Tyson maybe I don't. But you know what Tyson at the moment I don't care how you feel. Do you have any idea of how that made Kai feel, having to do that. His choice was your life or your bit beast what would you do? Isn't it so weird how its takes years to build trust but it can be shattered in seconds," cried Hilary as she went and slumped in the corner her head in her hands.
Max looked at Tyson and then at Hilary not knowing who to go and comfort. In the end the blonde decided to go over and see if Hilary was alright, allowing Tyson a little while to cool off. While Ray stood in the middle of the room, his amber gaze intently studying the stone wall. Tyson stood there shocked for a little while before going off into one corner.
"Kai didn't destroy them," said Ray suddenly causing them all to look at him.
"WHAT! Ray are you blind or were you just not watching. You saw him step on them you heard them break didn't you?" shouted Tyson as he stood up again.
Ray nodded, "But if you noticed he didn't press down with the foot that they were under, he pressed down with the other foot crushing other parts of our blades to make it look like he had done it."
"How do you know? It could have just looked like that."
"But his foot was still in the same place when Boris left, and that's when the screen blacked out."
"Still doesn't mean he didn't do it."
"Tyson you'll see Kai didn't do it, I know he didn't."
They all sat on opposite sides of the room deep in thought.
'I can't believe Tyson said all that stuff, I want him to apologize there was no need for that. I believe what Ray said because I don't think Kai would have done that. I just want him to come back so that I know he's okay. And I will make Tyson apologize to him as well,' thought Hilary.
'I hope Hilary's alright Tyson did say some mean stuff. But I don't know who to believe; I want to believe Ray but maybe he's just saying that because he doesn't want to think about us losing our bit beasts, but then again we did see him step on them and heard it crack. I'm confused at what to think at the moment. I want him to come back so all of this can be cleared up,' pondered Max.
'I'm still so mad at Kai. I feel bad for shouting at Hilary before, even if she does love that traitor. I can't believe Ray is on his side, and I don't know about Max. I'm going to have to apologize to Hilary, but when Kai gets here the first thing I'm going to do is shout,' mulled over Tyson.
'I know I'm right I studied it when he did it, and then I replayed it in my head. He can't have crushed our bit beasts? Right? He was only pretending as not to get us killed or hurt. When he comes back everything will be alright, right?' contemplated Ray, still unsure of himself.
Their thoughts were interrupted by the cell door creaking open and Kai walking in head downcast. He walked past Max and Ray only to be stopped by Tyson.
"Kai I-" But he was stopped by being thrown to the floor.
Tyson gawped like a goldfish before going to get up again while Ray motioned for him to stay.
Ray sat next to him. "Kai are you okay?" Kai didn't answer. "Kai look at me," Kai again ignored him.
Hilary stared at Kai from the side he seemed different but she couldn't place her finger on what.
"Kai please look at me?" pleaded Ray once again Kai ignored him.
"I don't know why you're bothering with that traitor Ray; he's not going to listen to you anymore."
Kai's fists clenched and he growled before glaring at Tyson and everyone in the room gasped. Kai's eyes were no longer completely crimson; they had a thick black line around the pupil, and from there the rest was crimson.
"What happened to him?" gasped Hilary.
"It's the control Black Dranzer has over him," said Ray.
Kai returned to looking downwards.
Tyson stood up and stood in front of Kai, taking him by the shoulders he started to shake him.
"Kai snap out of it and tell me why you destroyed our bit beasts."
"Stop," said Kai looking up his eyes completely crimson again. "I didn't do it. I have them right here" said Kai quickly as he fumbled in his pocket for them. He took them out and gave them to Ray, his hand slightly shaking as if he was afraid of them.
"See I told you Kai would never destroy our bit beasts," smiled Ray happy to have his companion back by his side again. "I think you owe Kai and Hilary a big apology."
Hilary shoved Tyson out of the way and hugged Kai. A smile came to his lips as he hugged her back, glad to see her again. Hilary pulled Kai over to the corner she had been sitting in before.
"Are you alright? You seem worried, scared about something," whispered Hilary.
"…Black Dranzer's control over my body getting stronger and pretty soon I won't be able to fight it. When Black Dranzer has control over me, I go to this place that is really dark, and I can hear all the stuff you say but no matter what I do it doesn't get through."
Hilary gasped. "How do you stop it?"
"I don't know, I've tried everything I can think of, but Boris made it stronger this time…it probably has something to do with the drug he gave me yesterday."
Hilary let go of Kai and looked him straight in the eye, but couldn't see any of the emotion she had felt earlier. She felt his head on her shoulder and looked down to see that he was absolutely exhausted, she smiled he looked so cute when he was tired.
Max and Ray sat beside Hilary, and Kai sat up turning to look at them. Tyson stood away from the group wanting to join in but feeling that he had been a total jerk, felt that he couldn't.
"Tyson what's wrong why are you over there?" asked Kai, Hilary and Ray looked at him, realising that he didn't know.
"I…uh…well…after we saw you 'destroy' our bit beasts I got really mad and said a lot of horrible stuff about you to Hilary and well what I'm trying to say I'm sorry to you and Hilary," apologized Tyson.
"It's okay, I can understand that but next time don't upset Hilary over it okay?" Tyson nodded blushing slightly before joining them.
"What were you two talking about?" asked Max.
"Knowing them, they were talking about lovey dovey stuff," said Tyson.
"Oh Kai I love you sooo much."
"Me too, now kiss me baby," mimicked Tyson, doing kissing noises as well.
"Shut up Tyson," she shouted.
"What wrong with you?" asked Tyson.
She looked at Kai, "It doesn't matter."
In a couple of minutes Tyson and Max were talking away and Ray went over to Hilary.
"What's the matter Hil?" asked Ray.
"Nothing it is okay," she replied.
"Then why did you shout at Tyson?"
"I always shout at Tyson."
"You sounded hurt."
"I…uh I guess I didn't think he was going to apologize."
"The real reason."
"That was the real reason."
"Hilary."
"Uh, fine. It's just that the conversation we had was really serious and then Tyson goes and makes fun of it."
"Well can you tell me what it's about?"
"I don't know."
"You can tell him," mumbled Kai half asleep.
"Are you sure?" she asked. She felt him nod.
Hilary then told Ray what Kai had told her not long ago.
"So if he's here talking to us he won't submit to the control?" asked Ray.
"I think so, I don't really know he didn't say anything about breaking the control," said Hilary. "But the problem is he's getting weaker and Black Dranzer's control is getting stronger, even with Kai sitting here with us, I don't think it will be enough."
"So what do we do?" Ray asked. Hilary shrugged.
The brunette turned round to see that Kai had fallen asleep she smiled as he looked so cute. "Kai," said Hilary as she gently touched his shoulder. Kai jumped and looked around him until his eyes fell on Hilary and he calmed down.
"What?" almost whispered Kai.
"Kai do you have Black Dranzer with you now," asked Hilary, Kai shook his head.
"He thought I would try to destroy it if I was put back in here with you."
"Kai if we just talk to you would that break Black Dranzer's control?" questioned Ray.
Kai shook his head. "It was easy to break just now because I didn't have the bit beast actually on me, as well as Black Dranzer hasn't taken full control yet. Boris even took Dranzer off me to make sure he didn't interfere. Here I got these just in case you needed them," croaked Kai as he took the Beyblades from his pocket. There were all different colours, one of them slightly cracked.
"Thanks," said Ray as he pocketed them, knowing that they may come in handy.
"So what do we do?" sighed Hilary.
"At the moment not much I'm afraid," replied Kai.
Kai, Hilary and Ray looked up when they saw Tyson and Max come over to them.
"Hey, what have you guys been talking about?" asked Tyson as they sat in front of them.
"Can we tell them?" asked Hilary.
Kai looked at Hilary and Ray, then at Tyson and Max, and slowly nodded his head.
A few minutes later and Tyson and Max were up to speed as well.
"So there is really nothing we can do?" asked Max. Kai sadly shook his head.
Kai leaned back against the wall gently and sighed, while Max and Tyson started another conversation with Ray.
Hilary sensed there was something wrong so she pestered him with another question, "Kai are you okay?" He nodded "Are you sure?" He again nodded. "…What happens when Black Dranzer gets total control?"
"…I won't have any control at all, until somebody beats me I guess."
"What did you just say?"
"I won't have any control."
"No the last part."
"Until somebody beats me."
"How come you didn't say that before we could just get Ray or Tyson or Max to Vs you and beat you right?"
"I'm sorry but it's not that easy, if I'm going to keep on coming back here then Boris won't let me bring Black Dranzer. And like I said before since I didn't have it on me that was why the control was so easy to break."
"Oh yes, that's probably why you didn't mention it. So it's good then that you keep on coming back here."
"Yes, but I don't know how much longer I will be allowed to. As since I don't have it on me the control is easier to break, but it's just as easy to regain that control. And once it has full control over me I doubt I'll be coming back," Kai explained to her as Hilary nodded, feeling the feat rising in her chest.
The sounds of two Beyblades knocking together caused them to look up.
"Attack Dragoon."
"Get him Draciel."
"Ssshh, you guys, if any one hears you they'll go and tell Boris," shushed Kai.
"Well, I guess they're having fun," said Hilary. Kai nodded. "Kai how can you get up and train and take what Boris is doing to you aren't you tired?"
"I'm okay, and I have to, I can't let you guys get hurt because of me," he told her sadly. Hilary smiled sadly taking a hold of his hand.
I hope you enjoyed.
