I do not own Beyblade
Ok folks, you better love this because I should have revised last night but I was suddenly inspired and I may be away for a while after this one… hopefully its got enough to keep you happy for a week of two.
Previously in things have changed….
"No!" Dr Kensal grabbed Hilary's arm and held her in place "We need to do this now."
"It's just vitamin shot" Hilary argued surprised at the angry look on her doctors face.
"We need to do it now"
"You're hurting me" suddenly the doctors eyes changed and fearful Hilary wrenched her arm away and began to move back from the doctor. "What the hell is going on?"
"Lets get this done" Dr K argued moving quickly forward and taking hold of Hilary's arm. Hilary fought back pulling away and trying to make for the door but in her haste she tripped over a chair and fell crashing to the floor. Before she could do anything else Dr K was on top of her holding her arm straight and plunging the needle into the first available vein.
And now…
--
"What the hell are you doing?" Hilary screamed as Dr K removed the needle from her arm "Dr Kensal I demand an answer"
"I suppose that I can tell you" Dr K said with a smile as she stood and moved away from her victim "After all in just under half an hour you won't remember a thing, in about twenty minutes the serum will soon arrive at the hippocampus and begin wiping your memory clean again."
"Half an hour?" Hilary asked her eyes wide with fear
"Your amnesia is not accidental, it was induced by Dr Wingblade" Dr K explained "And I'm not Dr Kensal, you used to know me as Dr K… I almost killed you once… admittedly it was an accident"
"Then she was right" Hilary whispered nervously "I'm in danger here"
"Who was right?" Dr K asked advancing towards her "Tell me who's been talking to you"
"I won't tell you a thing" Hilary snapped backing away but as she moved Dr K moved forward to grab her again, taking hold of her shoulders Dr K shook Hilary violently.
"Tell me who was talking to you."

Leading Tyson around the back of the van Millie was very conscious of the guards focus on them, she had known the passwords and codes to get them in and now they were parked in the garage she had driven into the first time. They had unloaded the unconscious workers out at a nearby hospital knowing that by the time the men awoke and anyone worked out something was going on they'd be out of the country. She had been the one to insist on leaving the men somewhere safe, Kai had mentioned just leaving them at the house but knowing how ruthless Horatio and Voltaire could be she hadn't wanted to put them in any danger. She and Tyson opened the van and with Tala's help began unloading the food trays, they had discussed exactly where everything should go when they had planned the trip. Kai remained in the van setting up a computer link with Kenny, he opened up a laptop and followed the strict instructions he had received from Kenny.
The laptop switched on easily enough but as he tried to connect to Kenny's computer the screen brought up a grey box with a confusing message.
Sighing Kai climbed out of the van and indicated to Millie that there was a problem. The plan had been to keep Millie in view the whole time as she was the only member of the group that the guards should recognise and therefore create less suspicion, still the guards hadn't really noticed any changes, they didn't usually communicate much with the caterers considering mere cooks beneath themselves.
Sitting in the van Millie was quickly able to bypass the problem and set up a link with Kenny, once he had a link inside the house he should be able to communicate with them as they moved around the house. He had managed to set up a heat seeking device that should tell where people were and was going to try and help escort them safely undetected around the grounds.
"We're online" Millie hissed as she rejoined the boys, Kai nodded and slowly he and Tala walked towards the doorway carrying a tray of food. As soon as they were mere inches from the two guards they both 'tripped' sending the food flying towards the guards. Confused the guards made to catch the trays and didn't notice as the two men directed swinging punches towards their jaws.
"Put these in your ears" Millie handed out communication devices as Tyson and Tala secured the guards and Kai removed the last of the food from the van. They needed all the space they could get as they estimated leaving the place with at least four more people.
As soon as they were done Millie raised her hand to her ear pressing her device closer "You hearing us Kenny?"
"Loud and clear" Kenny's voice came through perfectly clearly without any type of static Tala nodded in satisfied way, they had been worried that the radios would be hard to understand.
"Everyone hear that?" Mille asked and received nods "Ok Kenny where we headed to first?"
"Ok, your best bet is going to be to avoid the kitchens entirely, unfortunately there's a heat signature near the door to the corridors. I think there may be a guard there."
"I got it" Kai hissed moving over to the doorway, the others moved to the other side of the doorway ready in case Kai needed help. Pulling his caterers cap low Kai moved to the door and opened it walking casually through, immediately there was a shout, "Hey You!" Kai turned immediately apologising and properly flustered, as soon as the guy was close enough, Kai launched himself at the guard. He punched the jaw line, the guard fell back against the wall confused but conscious. He reached for his radio but before he could reach it Kai wrenched his arm back, the guard managed to get in a quick blow at Kai's gut winding him momentarily.
As soon as Kai was knocked away the guard again made to call for help, seeing this Tyson launched himself through the doorway landing bodily on the guard restricting his movement. With a couple of rapid punches Tyson managed to knock the guard unconscious.
"Thanks" Kai muttered as together the two of them dragged the unconscious guard into the garage.
"No problem" Tyson responded easily before leaning down to secure the guard and dump him with the rest "How many guards do we think he has Kenny?" he asked as they moved out into the hallway.
"You guys don't wanna know… there are a lot of heat signatures around… there isn't one in Hilary's room though!" Kenny obviously sounded panicked "Damn, Boris said she usually went to her room at this time of night."
"We need to find her, it's pointless moving through this house if we don't know where she is…"
"Guys, behind you there's someone…" Kenny's yell came a moment too late as the person he was about to warn them of walked around the corner.
Spinning around the small group came face to face with someone they all recognised "You!" Kai's expostulation coincided with Tala's as the two men stared angrily at the newcomer.
"It's been a while Kai"
"Brady" Kai snarled
There was a pause as they all stared at each other, Brady nodded his head acknowledging to the others "Tala, Tyson…"
"Millie" the young girl supplied
"Oh…. You look… different"
"Yeah… that was kind of the plan"
"Why are you here?" he asked looking at them suspiciously trying to gauge what their reaction would be when they discovered what he knew.
"That's not important… where's Hilary" Kai asked, Brady moved back surprised by this statement
"Then… you know?"
"Of course…" Kai stared at him angrily "Why else would we be here?"
"To kill Voltaire… Horatio… Boris…. Me." Brady gave them a weak smile
"He's got a point" Tala pointed out, beside him both Tyson and Kai nodded in agreement
"Well the point is, we're not here to do that. We're here for her…. And you"
"Me?" Brady stared at them confused "What did I do?"
"You mean asides from trying to kill most of us?" Kai asked smirking as Brady's face went from fearful to terrified.
"Kai" Millie hissed warningly "Look Brady we know about your wife and Kid, Hils explained at the time, we're going to help you and them out of here."
"But first we need to find Hilary" Tyson jumped in "Do you know where she could be?"
"She's usually in her room around now"
"Still no heat signature" Kenny's voice informed them
"Well she's not there."
"How do you…?"
"Kenny's locked onto heat signatures look we don't have time to explain everything we need to find Hilary. We had hoped to find her in her room, our plan kinda revolved around that." Tala shook his head sighing
"I guess, having a plan that goes off without a hitch just wouldn't be following tradition would it?" Tyson asked with a small smile
"Nah we do it the Scooby way!" Tala responded with a matching smile "Plan it all out, have someone somewhere screw it up and yet somehow we always come out golden! The pattern isn't going to change this time."
"She sometimes visits her grandfather in his study"
"You hear that Kenny?" Millie pressed her fingers to her ear piece trying to amplify the sound.
"Yeah but there's no one in the study right now"
"Next idea?" Kai hissed at Brady
"Dr K's office could be good."
"Kenny?"
"There are two signatures in there but…. One of them's leaving, in a hurry too!"
"Lets head that way… should we split up?"
"No, we stay together"

"Tell me" Dr K snapped her palm connected with Hilary's face in a painful slap
"No" she tried to struggle against the older woman but Dr K managed to twist Hilary's arm around behind her back holding it painfully
""Tell me or I'll break your arm
"Alright, I'll tell you who was talking to me!" Hilary pulled away from her doctor who released her with a happy smile
"Very good, who spoke to you"
"Her name was Millie, she came in with the caterers"
"The caterers…" Dr K moved towards her desk "Aren't they due back toni…" Her sentence was cut off as Hilary made for the door once more. Running at the young girl she tackled her to the ground knocking one of the stools over in the process and crashing it under Hilary's head. The two women wrestled briefly on the floor until Hilary trapped beneath the dark haired doctor managed to manoeuvre her leg to kick directly at her hip throwing the doctor backward.
After landing on the floor Dr K struggled to her feet and grabbing on of the needles from the work surface advanced on Hilary still lying on the smooth floor nursing her head. Hissing an insult Dr K made to grab Hilary's arm but before she could Hilary grabbed the stool lying behind her, swinging it around the hard metal crashed onto Dr K's head knocking her unconscious.
Breathing heavily Hilary pushed herself away from the unconscious body, standing she couldn't resist the urge to bend down and check the woman's pulse… she was still alive… thank goodness.
Turning she made for the doorway, opening it she checked both ways before setting off at a run through the house, she had no idea where she was going but she knew she needed to get out of here.

He had been shocked when his friend had called him earlier to tell him that Hilary was remembering but Voltaire took it in his stride. He was prepared for anything… or so he had thought. He had not been expecting to get no response from Boris, he had not been expecting to get no response from Kendall or Lando.
Something had gone very wrong.
Knowing that Horatio would have immediately commanded that Hilary undergo the effects of the serum he headed to Dr K's office. Pacing quickly down the hallways he found the doctors room and knocked on the door.
No answer.
This was the third time this evening that he had received no response from someone he expected an immediate answer from.
Opening the door he moved into the room, his gaze swept over the room, the mess in the centre of the floor grabbed his attention immediately. Walking around the table he found Dr K's prone body still lying on the floor. Looking around his eyes immediately picked up on the empty serum needle, the mess, the stool, there was only one explanation.
Something had gone very wrong
Turning he ran from the room.
--
"The person who was running, where are they?"
"They've stopped… if you turn left they're just down the corridor and the on your…. Wait… there's someone else there, just around the corner… there's someone in between the two of you… given the way he's walking I'd say he's a guard, he's on a pattern… headed your way. Guys you better go back…"
"No" Brady hissed turning down the corridor and knocking at a door, it opened immediately and a blonde woman came out
"Brady what's…?"
"In here" Brady commanded shepherding everyone into the room, the blonde woman moved back allowing them in a confused look on her face. The small group rushed into the room. A small child was seated on the floor playing with a toy, upon seeing the newcomers he stood and gazed at them curiously.
"What's going on?" Samantha managed to get out as soon as the door was shut
"Sam… meet Kai, Tala, Tyson and Millie… they're…"
"Hilary's friends…" Samantha smirked as she looked at them "I guess Horatio and Voltaire were right to be afraid of you lot."
"Ssh" Brady hissed listening at the door, "I can't tell if he's still out there"
"I can" Millie responded "Kenny?"
"He's rounding the corner… now"
"Lets go." Kai turned to look at the woman "Look you and the kid get ready, we'll be picking you up on the way back."
"What…?" Samantha began to ask but Kai cut her off.
"You want to stay here?" There was a quick shake of the head as a response "Good, now, do you know where Hilary might be?"
"I'd normally say in her room at this time but… I know Dr K was planning on seeing her at some point soon."
"Then we were probably headed the right way, we'll find her. Brady your with us."
After brief nods of goodbyes the group left the room and began their way back down the corridor. The group of five moved down the corridors following Kenny's tersely worded instructions heading towards Dr K's office. On the way (according to Kenny) they were going to pass the person who had been running from the office.
"Well maybe we want to."
As Tala spoke those words a figure rounded the corner, the person stopped, the rescue party stopped.
"Voltaire"
Man I'm really stringing this out aren't I? I may update sooner than I think but just keep your fingers crossed for me.
