Chapter 6: Blame the Innocent

"Where is it?" Kai yelled, as he threw a box of clothes that Tyson had forgot to unpack across the room. The box landed on a sleeping Max, who thought he was being attacked. He let out a frightened yell, throwing his hands every which way to try and get the box (which he thought was a monster) off him. Unfortunately, he pushed a sleeping Rei off the bed, and Rei landed with a very startled yelp on the floor. The thump scared Kenny (who also was asleep) and he jumped, landing on Tyson's stomach. "Ah, get it off me!" shouted Tyson, as he threw Kenny off him and off the bed. When everyone regained their composure, Max said. "Sorry guys." "Max...don't do that again." Panted Rei, as he painfully got up and got back into bed. Max and Tyson sat up as Kenny got onto the bed. Max then looked over at Kai. "Duck!" he hollered, and all of them (except Tyson) ducked behind the footboard at the bottom of the bed as another box came flying their way. "Duck? Where?" said Tyson, looking around. Wack! The box hit Tyson smack dab in the face. "Ouch!" he said, as he was pulled down behind the footboard. Kai then began tearing apart the bookcase, throwing books left, right and centre. Max sat up and looked over the footboard. "Kai..." he didn't finish, because he had to duck a flying book. (Pauses are ducks)"What...are...you...looking for?" Max ducked again, to avoid being hit by another book. "MY BITBEAST IS GONE!" Kai bellowed, as he looked around the room. The other members of the team gingerly peaked over the footboard, staring at the completely trashed room. "This isn't one of your jokes?" Kai said, as he grabbed Max's collar. "No." Max replied meekly, shrinking back at the look on Kai's face. Kai let go of Max, and then turned his back. Who could have taken it? Then, it hit him. "Johnny!" he exclaimed, as he dashed out of the hotel room leaving four very stunned Bladebreakers in what used to be their room.

Kai was running down the street, searching for Johnny. He spotted him talking to Enrique and Robert. Kai walked over and gave Johnny a good solid push. Johnny fell flat on his back. "What was that for?" he asked, narrowing his eyes, as he got up. "You took my bit beast, now give it back!" Kai exclaimed, looking at Johnny angrily. "What?" asked Johnny, confused. "Why would I want your bit beast?" "You said you'd get me back somehow, and this is how." Kai said, and Johnny looked at him strangely. Then, Johnny smirked. "I don't have your bit beast, but I'll Beybattle you right now to prove I didn't." He held his launcher ready. "Hold on a minute Johnny." Came Robert's voice. "You weren't in your bed last night, I saw." Johnny looked at Robert. "Yah, I noticed that too." Replied Enrique. "Where were you Johnny?" "Nowhere." Johnny said quickly. "Well, all evidence points to you Johnny. You are going to be on a suspension period from the team for a while, and your blade will be confiscated. " Robert said, taking Johnny's blade off the launcher. Johnny stared at Robert. "Whose side are you on?" he said irritably. "Not yours. You are guilty until proven innocent. Now, you are considered the thief until I am certain you are not. Come on Enrique." Robert said, and the two left. "But..." Johnny started, before glaring at Kai. "Johnny!" came an enraged voice from behind them. Johnny spun around, and paled slightly. There was his father, with a very dark expression that sent shivers down Kai's spine. Johnny's father grabbed the back of Johnny's collar, and dragged him off. Johnny sent Kai a pleading look, before he was thrown into a car, and driven off.

Kai watched the car begin to move, before a voice broke his thoughts. "What's this I hear about your bit beast?" "Oh no." thought Kai, as he recognized that voice. "It's Chaz." He thought. "Hey, Mr. Sulky, I asked you a question." Chaz stepped in front of Kai, Tala following her. "Yes, I heard that someone stole it." Said Tala, looking at Kai. Kai glowered at Chaz. "You took it, didn't you?" He said fiercely. "Huh?" Chaz repeated, frowning slightly. "I said you took it." Kai repeated, advancing towards Chaz. He towered over her, but Chaz's eyes never left his. "She didn't." Tala said softly, as he stepped in front of Chaz. "She was at her house the whole night. I know." Chaz looked up at him. "Thanks." She said softly. Tala went slightly red.

~Flash back~

. Dream Sequence.

I opened my eyes and looked around. I was in the abbey, back in Russia. I was surrounded by a bunch of bladers, the ones that were being trained in the academy. I tried to get up, but realized I was bound. I struggled, but the more I did, the weaker I seemed to become. I lay back down, trying to catch my breath. I heard a chuckle from behind me. "I know that chuckle anywhere." I thought. "Borris?" I said, as I managed to turn around. Borris stared down at me, and he laughed again. "Comfortable down there Tala?" And then, he kicked me. I groaned quietly, trying to keep the fact that I was in pain a secret. I didn't want Borris to get the satisfaction of hearing my pain that he wanted. Borris looked at me, before saying, "This is what you get for being a traitor." He then snapped his fingers, and the bladers held their launchers pointed at me. "I'll give you one more chance Tala. Come back to the Demolition boys, or suffer the consequences." "Never!" I yelled. "Fine then." Borris snapped his fingers. I closed my eyes not wanting to see what was about to happen. "Borris don't!" I called out. "Don't do this to me!" Then, it was over.

. End of Dream sequence.

Tala sat bolt upright, breathing fast. He wiped his sweaty forehead, as he tried to catch his breath. There was that dream again. "You're alright." He thought to himself. "It was just a dream." A voice beside him made him jump. "Tala?" Tala looked beside him. He hadn't noticed Chaz sitting down on the ground beside his bed with a flashlight. "You okay? I heard you calling." Tala looked away from her. He hadn't realized that he had been so loud. "Yes." Tala said, as he struggled to keep his trembling voice level. Tala felt a hand on his shoulder. "You're shaking. Are you sure you're alright?" Chaz said softly. She put her flashlight on the bedside table, as she stood up. "There's nothing wrong with being afraid. What were you dreaming about?" Tala sighed, and reluctantly told her about his nightmare. "Oh." Chaz said, keeping her gaze locked with his. "So you can't fall asleep right? Well, I'm no good at singing, but I can play the panpipes." Chaz drew the pipes out of her pajama pocket, and began playing a tune. Tala felt he had heard it before, and it made him feel better. He lay his head back down on the pillow. "Thanks." He murmured, before he fell asleep.

~End Flashback~

Tala was embarrassed by his dream, and the fact that Chaz had played him to sleep. Chaz sensed his embarrassment, and didn't say anything at all. Kai didn't seem to take Tala's word for it. "You're just sticking up for her, aren't you?" he said menacingly. "What's all the commotion about?" The rest of the Bladebreakers jogged up behind Kai. "Kai is accusing Chaz of taking his bit beast. First he blames Johnny, and then he accuses Chaz." Tala said, looking fiercely at Kai. "Oh." Replied Kenny. "You're just over- reacting dude." Said Tyson, and Max nodded. "Yah, and Chaz would never steal anything. And even if she did, she wouldn't lie to you about it. She enjoys playing keep away, but if she says she didn't take it, then she didn't take it." Rei concluded, and the rest of them nodded their head. "Humph." Kai said, before turning his back and walking off. Chaz was too busy looking at the retreating form of Johnny's father's car to make of a wise crack. "It's okay Chaz, we don't think it was you." Max said, putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "It's not that that I'm worrying about." She replied, before running off after the car. Tyson, Kenny, Max, Rei and Tala ran after her.
