Chapter 28
An hour had passed since the cruise ship had docked, yet no one was allowed off, and still the guards were checking everyone. They eventually came on ship and started taking random beybladers away. A pattern emerged that it was the teams captains that were being taken away – and some not returning.
Soon enough the ship grew suspicious of these guards. Why they were taking only the captains away? Kenny and the rest of the BladeBreakers thought of what the guards would do when they found out – their own captain had disappeared.
"Where is your captain – Kai Hiwatari?" One of the guards approached the BladeBreakers, and he quickly looked between each member expecting someone to come forward – yet no one did. Everyone stood there quietly wondering why they, wanted just the captains.
The guard stood there with a annoyed and confused look on his face, "Well?" Still no one stood forward, this team was either obnoxious or just plain stupid not to even have a team captain.
"Our captain is ill, he's not out – and he's not to be disturbed." Rei made up an excuse as quickly as possible; the guard began to frown.
"I do not care, bring him out here so we may interview him." The guard snapped and walked off, checking what other team still had their captain to be taken away for an 'interview.'
"I don't trust these guys." Tyson whispered looking between the guards that had taken over the ship. Tyson knew that everyone was feeling tense and uptight with these intimidating guards about the place. It was odd to see that Tala, and the rest of the Demolition boys where still in place, just at the very entrance of the ship, and the guards did not look keen enough to approach them just yet.
"They are guards so they must be checking for something… Though why would they only check the captains?" Max mumbled, watching just in case a guard of some sort walked by.
"Do you think Kai will get caught by them?" Kenny looked at the worried faces of his team mates, he himself was getting quite agitated by Kai's absence.
"Nah, I think he'll be safe for a while yet." Rei gave a smile a random image, of Kai shouting at a cowering guard that was, a pleasant image.
"So what do you want to do? We can't get off of this ship until every captains been interviewed and Kai's well, not here!" Tyson sighed and stared at the entrance to the dining room, which was really a grand hall with dozens of circular tables surrounded by chairs.
"My head really hurts." Kai mumbled, he blamed the two fighting entities inside his body which where currently waging war on each other. Still he had to find a way out of the lower region of the ship by not to far up where the rest of the beybladers were.
So will you two stop fighting and help? Kai yelled into him mind; the two battling voices went quiet for a few seconds, the phoenix spoke first.
./. You asking for help? Well something must have happened while I was away Master…. /. The only response to the bird was a roll of the eyes.
Kai got up from the floor, he felt all of his blood go to his feet, and he felt light-headed. He blinked a few times, he was still in the old room – at least no one had found him, yet.
There's something wrong… This unnerved even the phoenix, and Kai was not sure if Sorrow was playing a prank or not – though why would he? Kai stood still as he heard footsteps come closer to where he was located.
Thud, Thud, ThudKai gulped, if it was a sin then he would be beaten up, for what he had asked Sorrow to do to Pride. If it was someone else, he would have to explain how his clothes where covered in blood, and why he was in a very dark room.
Thud, Thud, ThudKai wondered if there was anywhere to hide but decided not to even move just in case he made an old floor board creak. Even the bitbeast and sin inside his head were filled with a strange sense of fear. The three of them were somewhat fearing either way what would come barging into the room. That is, if it came.
THUD, Thud, THUD
Kai closed his eyes, he really did find it aggravating when he had managed to escape and then be trapped once more – it reminded him of the Abbey.
Kai blinked as the small light that came from under the door turned into a silhouette of some ones feet. Kai's thoughts froze, he could feel his heartbeat in his throat – he did not want to be caught.
He heard talking, who ever it was telling someone to shut up and get in the room. Kai had to hide, but hiding in the dark was not a good advantage.
The man opened the door, still no feature could be seen from his face, and he pushed, someone in. Kai thought it must have been more than five people as he heard more groans come when the man pushed another few silhouettes in the room, he chuckled and shut the door.
Kai was a little nervous as well as curious to who had been shoved in with him. Although that was not what he was incredibly angry at – the fat man had began to lock the door. Kai was trapped in a room, with people he did know or could even see, he stayed quiet. That was the least of his problems.
The lights flickered above everyone, and Kai made a quiet dash behind a few boxes, just enough for no one to even see him. Staying quiet would be a very good idea.
"What's going on!" Kai blinked that wasn't who he thought it could be, Ozuma?
"Crazy guards – let us out of here!" Miguel shouted. Again Kai couldn't quite grasp why two team captains where in a storage room. Kai didn't dare look over the safety of the boxes he hid behind, though he knew for a fact it was more than those two where in the room.
"Well – it would help if we actually got out of these chains!" Kane yelled back. Ok another team captain?
"What do you looked so pleased about Valkov." Michael snapped, Kai's eyes widened, so even Tala had been taken and shut in here, though id he was to just jump out – way to many questions would be asked. Kai waited wondering if there was anymore beyblading captains in the room.
"What the hell is that smell something stinks!" Robert turned his nose up, the place did stink.
Kai looked around, he had not noticed the smell before – though that may have been because he had slept in the room, and had become used to it. Though – it did have a funny taste.
"You! Now stop moaning we need to get out of here!" Lee snapped, so even the White Tigers team captain was here? What were they up to on the first floor of the ship?
Kai felt a tingle in his nose, great he better not sneeze, that would be… Somewhat annoyingly bad. The smell was like, fish and all rotten things mixed for some horrible, sadistic fun. HE quickly held his nose, trying hard not to sneeze. Kai looked around the room from where he was, everyone was not even trying to escape their metal chains they just looked like the were having a glaring competition.
Kai managed to stop himself from nearly sneezing – he had found something to keep his mind at work.
A few meters away, was a oddly distorted body. What Kai thought distorted meant was that, there was no – feature just… Piles of things.
I want to come out! Came a random request from Sorrow, Kai thought maybe he didn't see the sensitivity of the situation – maybe he did and that's why he wanted out.
No. Kai hissed back into his mind, trying hard not to make any noise as a small pain shot through his body. It wasn't too sore, though Kai knew it could get worse.
I want control you've been in control way too long! Another pain shot up Kai's spine, all he did was grimace. I'll make a deal! Kai thought desperately, he looked down at his hands, thankfully they were both normal with no claws growing. Sorrow was quiet for a moment and the pain subsided, Sorrow must have been contemplating. You can come out, though under three conditions. Kai gulped, he didn't mind being locked inside his own mind, but letting Sorrow come out was the most painful thing he had ever experienced and it felt as if the pain got worse and not easier to handle.And what are these conditions then? Kiddo? Kai gave another grimace, though no pain flooded his body – being called a kiddo was not a name he liked. Even if it was used by a sin currently living inside his body.
You can't hurt anyone in the room. You must help them get out and… Kai stopped and let Sorrow think of the first two conditions which was only a few seconds,
And the third?Kai gulped, he really didn't think anyone would think or hate someone who was already in pain and was transforming into something they didn't want to.
You changed, and take control whenever I'm in mid sentence. It was an odd condition, the first two where plausible though the third made no sense to Sorrow whatsoever.
You're a weird kid. I agree on all conditions. Really Sorrow would agree to almost anything as long as he would get back into control of his current host. Kai looked about and decided to make it a little more believable, and slowly made his way to the 'pile' of body parts.
The captains were just staring at each other, wondering how on earth they could get out. A small groan was heard behind a crate. The all looked around.
"Who's there!" Shouted an unpleased Robert, the smell was getting worse…
"Not a friend of your anyway." Came the voice of Kai Hiwatari, though most of them just looked at each other, he shouted like he was very tired or just drunk.
A blob of blue hair arose from behind a crate, and soon Kai turned around, and staggered over to the next crate to keep himself up.
The room went silent as each captain looked at the blunette, he looked as if he had seen a ghost and had been beaten to a pulp. A large gash was on his head, or from what it looked like.
"What the hell happened to you!" Michael getting a little worried if he was going to end up looking like that.
"Sorrow's being a bastard…" He mumbled, of course this reaction confused the beyblader chained up even more. They were expecting a Hn, or a, Whatever, not an actual response.
"What in God's name are you talking about Hiwatari." Tala gave a glare when Kai looked at him, but instead of the usual glare back, he just shrugged. Very unusual…
Do it in this sentence and remember our deal… Kai ordered Sorrow who, Kai could feel, was getting happier by the second.
"You just better get out of here before-" Kai groan as pain washed through him, there was no getting used to this, not in a million years. The rest sat there dumbfounded and a few worried faces appeared on some of them.
"What's wrong?" Lee quickly asked, no one had seen the ice captain in so much pain before. Soon he was coughing and choking, and shaking like a leaf.
"Sorrow being a bastard again…" Kai struggled to complete his sentence, he could feel the room growing cold, he would be inside that little box in his mind.
"Who's Sorrow?" Ozuma asked, wondering why Kai would be mentioning someone at this moment in time.
Soon a small hissing noise came out of Kai's mouth and that scared everyone, Tala was just staring blankly gulping slowly, wondering what the hell was happening. Kai bent his head over, covering his face with the bangs for his hair.
"Kai?" Miguel was worried, he didn't like some people, though it did seem Kai was in utter pain and decided to show some sympathy.
"Your all idiots…" Kai's voice had turned into Sorrows which was a low hiss.
"Kai are you feeling –" Miguel was stopped when he saw the colour of Kai's eyes, they were black… And scared the crap out of him.
They all just sat their looking scared, confused. Sorrow just rose up like it was nothing… He was used to the staring eyes, he didn't mind. He gave a quick stretch on which many bones cracked and popped.
"Finally…" Sorrow hissed, noting that the people of the room were still staring. Though this time not at his eyes but at the large black, claws growing rather quickly.
Everyone gulped thinking they had been thrown in with Kai so he could kill them.
"Yeash, don't look like you've seen a ghost – I won't kill you yet… Or else Kai will end up – taking control again and that would be very bad." Sorrow rambled, which was odd to even see Kai doing – even if it wasn't Kai.
"What are you Hiwatari!" Robert spat – obviously freaked out of what he just saw.
"Ah another one of the Jurgen's. I wonder if your own father remembers me." Sorrow hissed, Jurgen's acted the same, always the same, they all looked a small speck similar. Sorrow had now walked a little further towards Robert than the rest.
Miguel, Michael and Lee where speechless. They could hardly move, the other's, excluding Tala was in a state of shock or fear. Tala was just staring up at 'Sorrow.'
"What – You've never met my father Hiwatari!" Robert spat, Sorrow rolled his eyes and looked at the boy on the floor, he was definitely a Jurgen – stupid…
"I'm not Kai you bonehead, I'm sorrow. Yeash, people these days." Sorrow rolled his eyes, while on the inside he was having a lot of fun, and Sorrow felt as if Kai was having a good chuckle.
"….Then what are you?" Lee managed to speak, still he was bewildered, if he had not seen it then he would have never believed it.
"Sorrow, eighth deadly sin – not at your service." Sorrow gave a comical bow and Tala was still just staring at him, somehow Sorrow felt a little uncomfortable with the redhead looking at him like that.
He does it all the time, he's just wondering if I'm just pulling a rather sick joke continue with whatever you have planned.
Sorrow put his hands on his head as if he was having a gun pointed at him.
"There's only seven sins, idiot." Ozuma spat out, everyone knew that there was seven, not eight!
"I know, I was replaced with Sloth… Smug bastard…" Sorrow shivered when he remembered a glimpse of what had happened, supposedly sadness was not a sin but rather a 'out look on life.' Sorrow scoffed.
"Then you are not going to help us get out are you?" Michael looked at Sorrow suspiciously, while the others contemplated on whether to even accept help off of a deadly sin.
"I have to... Kai made conditions and well, he'll get pissed and end up hurting me…" Sorrow was looking straight ahead at the door. He would have to beat who ever it was to a pulp he liked talking to this little group, they couldn't get away either – they were chained.
"That sounds so pathetic…" Sorrow sighed afterwards and walked a little closer to the locked door. He got down and sat on his heels. Ready in case someone or that fat man came back in, in a hurry.
"What do you mean Kai made conditions?" Robert looked at Sorrow if he were a piece of dirt.
"If I don't obey then he comes back and takes control over this dear body. The only downside on needing a host." Sorrow tilted his head this way and that looking at the lock of the door. He knew that he could just break it open, but he wanted to stall until he got bored of talking.
"So, Kai let you posses him?" Tala concluded, it was more of a statement to himself, rather than a question.
"No – actually he was very stubborn about it until it ended up-"
You watch what you say or else. Kai hissed inside Sorrows mind.
"-some girl would be raped by his older brother-"
Right that's it! Kai let Sorrow have a taste of his own medicine and sent a few shots of pain down his spine.
" – or something like that… Aah fine, I better shut up…" Sorrow concluded he had 'saved' the little story and made it somewhat unreliable so then maybe, no one would believe him.
"Why?" Kane asked, no thinking that Sorrow would be the only one that could help them get out of the stinking room.
"Kai's… How would you say…? Over-reacting." Sorrow chose his words carefully and managed to get away with it as Kai was not too bothered, with that anyway…
"Uhuh, now can you get us out of here." Robert snapped, wondering why Kai – Sorrow was talking so much.
"He's a sin he's not suppose to help us!" Lee snapped, he had always heard about the sins and such – and that they were all evil and corrupt. So on and so on.
"Oh my… You really are idiot –" Sorrow yelled at the boy that was taken aback of the change of attitude of the sin.
He began to rub his temples and began to mumble, which everyone managed to hear.
"Why on earth would you want them not to have the same fate as the boy behind the crate I don't know Hiwatari. You're a very odd kid. Shut up. No I will. Whatever… What do you mean that's what you say, I'm older. I do not need a zimmer-frame – annoying kid…" Everyone looked at each other giving odd looks and a few smiles, even Tala found it slightly amusing that Sorrow would be arguing with Kai about the word 'Whatever'.
"Boy behind the crate?" Kane asked, he was wondering why that boy hadn't come out – or was that because he couldn't move and was chained like the rest of them?
"Why do you think it stinks in here." Sorrow gave Kane a half-open closed eye look. Like saying he was stupid or something along those lines.
Again, multiple thuds were heard.
"Great some one's coming. That's our chance of escaping over." Robert rolled his eyes while the other just glared at him.
"Do you think I'm weak or something?" Sorrow decided to just let the man come in himself. All he did was begin to click Kai's right hand. Tala looked at it oddly. It had never done that before.
"Well kids," Sorrow clapped his hands together just as the door opened.
"- You." The fat man immediately recognised the person they had been searching the ship for.
"Ah dear Oswald how are you this find afternoon." Sorrow made up the first name that came to his head. The man was fat and easily picked on – it was going to be a very simple fight that's if Sorrow could be bothered.
"Finally I knew you'd show!" The fat-man opened the door fully and went to march in, in a tough manner.
"Oswald, you're a very scary person when you don't have your mask on." Sorrow just stood there a strange smile appearing on his face.
"Now that we have you Sorrow we can get on with this little experiment." The man boasted. Now stepping fully into the room.
"I think not, I'm afraid…" Sorrow looked at the man in a bored fashion, somewhat, tried of the old man already.
Sorrow simply stepped forward, his claws gleamed, Sorrows eyes turned a dark misty colour as if he was not looking anywhere, just staring. All he did was walk up and stare at the man who was about to grab him.
"What are you doing?" The man eyed his claws and instantly backed away, though it was too late.
"Bye- Bye." Sorrow whispered as a cruel smirk came across his face and stabbed the man with his large claws, it was easy – like a sharp knife through butter.
As if in a movie the man bent over into the claws, his body's attempt to protect itself made the wound worse. Blood spilled onto Kai's clothes as well as the floor.
The rest of the room stared open mouthed Tala's eyes were widened slightly. No one was even breathing loudly – they all remained as quiet as possible.
"Well that was boring…" Sorrow yawned and pulled his hand out of the fat mans stomach.
"What are you really?" Robert stuttered a little, unsure of what to do.
"Like I said I'm a sin that possesses people now shut up so I can unlock these chains." Sorrow walked up to Lee. His claws quickly managed to unlock each chain and up-lock everyone else. Good nails were good to have.
"Eh thanks Sorrow." Lee answered unsure whether they should thank a sin who had just killed someone.
Your forgetting something Sorrow…Kai hissed again, Sorrow groaned."Hmph. Oh yes which one of you is Tala?" He looked around the room quickly and when no one responded Miguel just pointed to the redhead in the corner.
"Him." He quickly said everyone had now left, wanting some fresh air and to get back to their teams to tell them what had happened.
"Well, you have to tell Tyson and your own little group that your all going to be killed.. though you are not to tell the other groups as they will end up creating havoc and unneeded chaos. Now I'm off."
"Where are you going." Tala was wondering how and where Kai had been hiding, he had noticed that he was not feeling well was Sorrow the cause of it?
Sorrow just shrugged, and Tala made his way back up to the ship looking for anyone out of the BladeBreakers or the Demolition Boys.
He wondered if anyone would believe him? Maybe Granger but he would believe anything.
