Kai staggered into the room Boris stood expectantly within, folding his
arms and smirking. Rei followed close behind, catching Kai whenever he
collapsed. Boris laughed coldly, a heart-less, empty laugh.
"Here's the antidote," Boris bribed, shaking the bottle with clear liquid in front of Kai's face.
Kai's face was dripping in sweat; his limbs were weak and tired. Rei took quick glances at him to make sure he wouldn't do anything rash. If he did, that action would be Kai's last, as Boris was impatiently fingering a crude-looking dagger he held in his belt. It had a bloody sheen and Rei knew it was used countless times before.
"The only way you can get the antidote Kai, is to destroy Rei's blade," Boris grinned evilly.
Rei and Kai glanced at each other with searching eyes. Kai slowly lowered his gaze to Driger. The tiger bit-beast was tightly clutched in Rei's hand.
"Go ahead Kai," Rei forced the words through his lips, loosening his grip on the white beyblade.
"No," Kai said, standing up defiantly, "I will defend my honor and spare my friend's blade."
"Have it your way," Boris smirked, evilly eyeing Kai.
"Remember this?!" In one swift motion Boris whipped the dagger out of his belt and sunk the tip deep into Kai's flesh.
Kai screamed in agony, clutching his stomach which had been pierced. Rei watched in horror as Kai staggered backward, falling to the ground. He rushed toward his fallen friend and looked hatefully at Boris.
Boris smiled, licking Kai's blood from the dagger. "I can taste the poison. Only a hint can't kill me, so don't get your hopes up," Boris whispered, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.
Rei felt sick watching Boris lick his blood-stained lips with an evilly wide grin. He felt as if he had been stabbed as well.
Kai coughed as he got up from the cold stone floor. "Give me the antidote Boris!" Kai yelled, but he sounded very weak.
"Kai, don't try to get up!" Rei scolded.
"I'm--- fine," Kai struggled to form the words.
Boris chucked. "So there is a way to hurt your cold steel exterior Kai." He whipped the dagger out once again, but instead held it two millimeters away from Rei throat. "Destroy his blade or he will die Kai."
Kai thought for a split-second, "Do I let Rei be killed or. No way. A friend is more important than my life."
Kai's eyes darted quickly toward the clear antidote in Boris' hand.
Suddenly Kai shot toward Boris' hand and knocked the antidote right out of his grip. Kai caught the vile and kicked dagger away from Boris' reach. Rei ran over to Kai's side.
Boris recovered from the shock soon after and smirked at Kai. "It doesn't matter now, young Kai, in five seconds you will DIE! Five, four."
Rei seized the antidote from Kai's limp hand and forced the clear liquid down his throat. Kai coughed and spluttered. Will he survive?
