Chapter Eight-Crashing down...in an elevator

Krys heard Kai yelp from down in the elevator and feared the worse. He had probably just hurt himself and judging by how loud the yelp had been, he had hurt himself pretty damn bad.

Krys made a movement to move down to help him but Raye grabbed her arm, holding her back. Krys turned to glare at Raye but that didn't phase her. Raye just calmly spoke to Krys. "If he is hurt, he'll be embarassed and want to take care of it himself. You babying him won't make him like you at all."

Krys sighed, she knew that Raye was right, however that didn't mean that she had to like it. Krys continued to stare down the elevator shaft. Suddenly they heard a bunch of voices start yelling.

"Damnit, everyone get on the ladder NOW!" Someone commanded and then there was a bunch of scrambling.

"What's going on?" Krys asked.

The guy that was up with them just shrugged. "The cable holding up this elevator is fairly thin, it's going to break any second now."

"WHAT?" Krys exclaimed and then calmed herself down. "All the people in the elevator are out now, right?" Krys pleaded to god that Kai was out of that elevator.

"No." The guy said sadly. "There are still two people in there."

Krys couldn't stand to hear anymore. Knowing her luck and Kai's stubbornness, Kai was one of the two still in the elevator. Krys went over to the corner, clenched her jaw, and refused to listen to anything that anyone said.

Krys didn't want to know what was going to happen next, it was just too scarey to think about.

^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~

Kai heard the command for everyone to get on the ladders alright but he just wasn't going anywhere until someone told him why they were supposed to get on the ladders.

"Come on kid." The guy in charge tried to coax. "Get on the ladder."

Kai shook his head and crossed his arms. "Not until someone tells me what's going on." Kai noticed that no one seemed to be too thrilled with what Kai was telling them. So Kai leaned back against the wire holding the elevator up. "FIne then, I'll just stand here until you tell me."

The next couple seconds was basically a chain of events. First of all, the added weight on the wire holding the elevator up, frayed a teensy weensy bit more. Not enough to cause the whole thing to fall down if, I do say if, the next thing hadn't happened. Tala decided that he should be the next one up, so he jumped up onto the opening, which caused the elevator to shake, which frayed the wire even more until the elevator was being held up by very little. That tiny piece of thread was no match against the weight of three teenaged boys and so it slowly snapped and suddenly Kai was thrown backwards, into the elevator again and the elevator started to fall down, quite rapidly.

But of course...the authoress of the story couldn't let anything happen to her characters so she magically used her authoress powers to zap them out of harm's way...right?

Yah right...you'd all hate me if I let that happen so lets redo this scene...the right way, amd just for safety measures, Kai isn't going to lean on the wire this time...well yet.

^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~ ^_~

Kai heard the command for everyone to get on the ladders alright but he just wasn't going anywhere until someone told him why they were supposed to get on the ladders.

"Come on kid." The guy in charge tried to coax. "Get on the ladder."

Kai shook his head and crossed his arms. "Not until someone tells me what's going on." Kai noticed that no one seemed to be too thrilled with what Kai was asking them. Kai moved back to lean against the wire holding the elevator up.

"NO! Don't do that." The voice startled Kai so much that he fell backwards and just missed the wire by a millimetre. The guy in charge breathed out in relief. "You idoit. That rope is going to break any second now. Any added pressure on it and you and your friends are going to be bye bye." Then the guy smiled. "So you just stay here and we're going to go up and think of a way out." In two seconds flat there was no one in the elevator shaft but Kai. "Remember." The guy shouted down at him. "No added pressure."

Kai was going to climb up that ladder and show that guy just what kind of 'added pressure' he could give that guys face with his fist. Unfortunately, when he moved to get up, the elevator swung. Shit!

Rei noticed that all the people that were supposed to be down in the elevator shaft, were now up here. Something told Rei that that wasn't how it was supposed to be. One of two things had happened. One, Bryan had come up and decided that he wanted their asses, literally. Or two, there was something seriously wrong with that elevator.

"What's going on?" Rei asked, letting go of Hannah, though he really didn't want to, and going over to talk to the guys. "Where are my friends?"

One of the guys looked at Rei sheepishly. "Um, well, they're still in the elevator."

"WHAT?" Rei asked. "Then why in the hell are you up here?"

"Listen kid, we're elevator resuce people. There's nothing in the job description that says we have to die doing our job. End of discussion, now I'm out of here." All the guys but Rei leave the lobby.

"This is just great!" Raye muttered and then she turned to Rei. "So now what are we supposed to do? Just leave them down there until we can find another cable?"

Rei looked at Raye for a second and then hugged her. "That's it. Raye, you're a genius!"

Raye pulled out of Rei's bear hug and looked at him strangely. "What do you mean?'

"We'll find a wire to use to hold the elevator up until we can get the guys up." Rei said and then turned to Hannah and Krys. "You two, go and see if you can find anything strong enough to do that." Hannah and Krys nodded and ran off. Then Rei turned back to Raye. "Come on, we're going to have to explain our plan to Kai and the others."

o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O

Macy noticed that Rei hadn't given her a job though everyone else had something to do. She found that a little unfair and decided to tell Rei that, in a round-about way. "Rei, what can I do?" Macy asked, trying to sound like she was innocently concerned.

Rei turned to look at Macy and then scratched his head. "Huh? Oh, sorry. I kind of forgot you were there since you were being silent and standing off in the corner."

"You forgot about me?" Macy exclaimed, her left eyebrow twitching as she stared Rei down. "You forgot about me?!?!?!"

Rei shrugged. "I'm sorry, really sorry. I don't know how I forgot about you. But you seiously just slipped my mind."

Macy glared at Rei and then looked away, upset that Rei would actually forget about someone as important as she was. Raye rolled her eyes and was visiblely surprised when Rei went and stood in front of Macy and turned her face to look at him.

"Listen, I really am sorry that I forgot about you and I hope that you forgive me and take my place in this plan and go with Raye to explain things to the people downstairs." Rei said gently.

Macy looked at Rei, her eyes wide, no one had ever been that nice to her and Macy felt glad that someone was. Macy nodded, breaking Rei's grip and then went to the ladder with Raye. As she disappeared down the elevator shaft, he looked at Rei. "Thanks." She said softly and he grinned at her and nodded for her to continue, which she of course did.

Tala sat silently at the bottom of the elevator, staring up at the opening in which he could see Kai in. {A/n: Again, I apoligize for seeming to be obsessed with homosexuality...in case you haven't read any of my other stories this is the first one with homosexuality in it. It's not my fault, this is what happens when you talk to people who are the opposite of homo-phobic and seemingly think that straight relationships aren't all the perfect that they're cracked up to be and that homosexual relationships are a lot better for us all. Don't ask.}

Tala sighed and looked over at Bryan, who was staring intently at the floor. Tala wondered what was going through the mind of his fellow teammate and so he asked him. "Bryan? What's up?"

Bryan shrugged. "I was just thinking about Lee." Bryan bent his head lower, hiding his face from Tala. "It's just weird to think that I'm going to die in an elevator with you and Kai and yet, I swore I'd die with my boyfriend by my side."

"You think you're going to be with Lee for that long?"

Bryan chuckled lowly. "Oh no, when I said my boyfriend, I meant whatever boyfriend I had at that time. That's all. I didn't mean to have it sound like I was that serious about Lee." Bryan let a giant breath of air out slowly. "I don't even think that Lee wants to be that serious eventually anyways."

"What do you mean by that?" Tala asked softly.

"Huh?" Bryan looked up to see Tala's face but then immediately hid his face again. "Well, Lee is always with other guys. He goes to dance clubs, bars, stuff like that. He's always with some guy, even if I'm there. It's rather discouraging. I mean, I know I'm probably boring to him by now, but I still think that he shouldn't be that rude and just ignore me pretty much."

Tala automatically felt for his teammate. Not a lot of people realized that things that hetrosexuals go through are the same as homosexuals do. Things like this probably happen to homosexuals more often than most people think but we think because they're 'different' that it doesn't. {a/n: feel free to disagree here}. Bryan probably had no one to turn to with a problem like this and he was afraid that if he told Lee, he'd end up with no one.

"You don't deserve that." Kai's voice came through the opening in the ceiling of the elevator. "Though I'd never actually go out with you, you're a nice guy and you deserve someone that will pay attention to you. Tell Lee to screw off, cry it off, and then go put yourself back in the market."

Tala looked up at Kai, and realized that he wasn't able to see Kai's face and for once, he wasn't glad of that. "Kai's right." Tala told Bryan. "You deserve someone that will give you a lot more than you're getting."

Bryan smiled. "Thanks guys."

Tala was about to respond when Raye's voice filtered through the opening. "Listen guys, you all have to help us help you. We're going to get some rope and find away to get you out. When we know the rest of the plan, we'll tell you. For now, don't make any moves and don't worry because we're not going to let you die."

Bryan actually smiled at that and Tala wondered why. Bryan was the first to reply as well. "Thanks Raye, we appreciate it."

Tala could almost see Raye beam. "Thanks Bryan."

Tala rolled his eyes and gently changed his position. This could take a very long time.

o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O

Raye looked at the rope that Hannah and Krys had brought back for them and shook her head. "This is no where near strong enough to hold up the elevator." Raye sighed. "Now what do we do?"

Hannah shook her head. "No, no, no, no. We decided to change the plan a little bit. Instead of holding up the elevator, we're going to hold up the boys."

"What?" Rei asked. "Run this whole plan by me."

Hannah turned to Rei and beamed. "Well, we, me and Krys that is, thought that if we can't hold up the elevator, we could hold up the guys. We'd tie one end of each of these ropes to one of the guys and the other end to something stable. Then we'd make sure that they were in a position that when the elevator falls, the rope would make sure that they didn't fall with it and then, we'd pull them to safety."

Rei beamed and gave Hannah a quick hug. "That's brillant. Do you really think it'll work?"

Krys sighed. "It would but there is a flaw."

"What?" Rei asked.

Hannah looked at the floor and examined her shoe. "Well, we can only save them if they're on top of the elevator, not if they're in it. So somehow we have to get Bryan and Tala out of the elevator. Otherwise, our plan won't work."

Rei groaned. "But how can we do that without risking the elevator going down?"

"We can't, we're going to have to just risk it." Krys said.

Rei looked at Krys and then at Hannah and then nodded. "Alright then, we'll do it."

Bryan tied the rope around his waist and then tugged on it a couple of times before looking over at Tala, who was doing the same. "So, did you ever think we'd be doing this? World known beybladers that are stuck rescueing themselves out of an elevator?"

Tala grinned, trying to hide his nervousness. "No, no way. If my parents could see me..." Tala sighed. "Hell, if anyone could see me now, they would think I was nuts and wonder just what I was taught in that abbey."

Bryan smirked. "Hey, I was taught there too."

Kai grunted, though Tala and Bryan couldn't see him. "So was I, so keep your comments to yourself."

Bryan smiled and shook his head. "Are you ready up there Kai?"

Kai grunted again. "I've been ready forever, you just wouldn't shut your mouth long enough for us to start."

Bryan rolled his eyes. Looks like this little adventure didn't change Kai much at all. Bryan looked at Tala and realized that Tala was thinking the same thing. Bryan smirked and motioned to the ceiling where they knew that Kai stood and made the 'nuts' sign. Tala nodded and imitated it.

"ALright, I'm ready." Bryan told Kai and then positioned himself under the opening and began to climb up his rope, hoping like hell this would work. It certainly took awhile but eventually Bryan made it up and then it was Tala's turn.

Bryan could almost hear the sweat drops roll off his head and splash on his shirt, that was how quiet it was. Tala made it halfway through the opening before Kai and Bryan breathed. Unfortunately, when Kai is relieved, he leans on something, to hide it. And unfortunately, the elevator rope was the only thing to lean on and the next thing anyone knew, the elevator was crashing to the ground level.
