// = thoughts
And thank you to Bread N' Butter and Gazing Shadows for reviewing! UR ALL SO NICE!!*cries from being so happy*
There's gonna be a surprise character in this chappy. Bet you guys couldn't think of it!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the light died down, all eyes were on Tyson. One thought zipped through their minds: /Dragoon? Gone?/
Crescent returned to Destiny's hand, meaning she was the winner as Tone was too distracted to worry about Crystolyon at the moment.
/Damn. And bro said he could take care of Dragoon?/ Lya thought angrily. Tyson was now searching every pocket - just in case Dragoon was there. He was shouting in his mind: /DRAGOON! DRAGOON!/
But no one replied to him. No little 'click' of a beyblade was heard from Tyson. Dragoon was gone.
By this time, Lya was fuming. She stormed up to Tyson, hands balled into fists, "YOU LOST DRAGOON?!?!!" She shouted, absolutely furious. And Tyson replied like he didn't even hear her. "OH MY GOD! I LOST DRAGOON!" He shouted, still searching in his pockets.
Tone jumped down to the beystadium to retrieve Crystolyon, still worried about Tyson. He had lost Dragoon. Without Dragoon, Tyson couldn't beybattle. And when Tyson couldn't beybattle, the whole team doesn't get to beybattle.
"I can go look for it. I know this place well enough, and I already battled," Destiny said calmly and slowly. "Ya. Me and Kai will go look too." Alex said, nudging Kai, "He wasn't going to beybattle anyways."
"I'm going too. We'll split – North, East, south, and West of the Abbey – we'll meet each other back here in half an hour. You should really be more careful with Dragoon, Tyson." Lya said, and went into one of the tunnels. Destiny and Alex were the next ones to run off – and Kai, well, he just walked into one of the tunnels silently.
/I hope those guys find Dragoon./ Tyson thought as he looked at his empty palm. No Dragoon there…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kai was running through the tunnels now – of course he wasn't going to show anybody HE was worried about Dragoon missing.
~`~~~~~~~~~~~~~`~~~~~~~~~~
HAPPY PROBABLY BE-LATED HALLOWE'EN, EVERYONE! HAVE A GOOD TIME TRICK- OR – TREATING!!!
MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :[ (Vampire)
OMG. I MOVED TO A NEW HOUSE YESTERDAY! IT'S 20 YEARS OLD OR SUMTHING! And the school is so boring. I have never, NEVER, Halloween was my first day there – sheesh, no one even danced at the DANCE.
And there's no swearing, fights, shoving, kicking, jokes, or even a class clown!! THAT AIN'T RITE, PPL!
SAVE AND PITY ME! IT'S THE QUOTE FOR LIFE AT KENNEDY FOR MOI! THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE SPORTS TEAMS FOR GAWD'S SAKE! AND THEY NEVER GO HYPER! THAT'S EVEN MORE NOT RITE!!!
NOW I HAVE TO NAME IT, "Hell School. Where everyday, is as boring as yesterday," ON MY FIRST DAY! YESTERDAY BEING JUST WORK, WORK, WORK! DON'T THEY KNOW ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES YOU DUMBER?
~`~~~~~~~~~~~~~`~~~~~~~~~~
He, Kai Hiwatari, world-class blader known to everyone on the world, was looking for Dragoon. Ha. Ha. What would his father say about this if he found out. Shit, that's what.
Turning another left, Kai scanned every corner for a speck of white, but all was grey. No sign of Dragoon yet..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Destiny ran – although looking clearly at each and every turn. Tyson was such an idiot, losing Dragoon so easily. This was Moscow we were talking about!! IT COULD BE ANYWHERE! Snow, ice, frozen – dear lord they had a long way to go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alex wasn't having much luck either. That and she was bumping into a hell lotta people. Man, who knew there were this many people in Abbey!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And poor Lya. Even though she had been here all her life, she hadn't been through many of the places throughout Abbey. Dead ends and wrong turns always seemed to get in her way. Damned maze.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BACK TO TYSON AND GANG.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"¬_¬|||||| This guy can sure complain for a hell loada time…" Ryo said as he leaned against the wall further, "He's been complaining for the past half hour! When the hell are the guys coming back?" Ryo complained again. This was seriously nagging him.
"Oh be quiet already! I can't believe you're team captain!" Lillia shot back. "Ya. It's not like we wanted you to be team captain," Chris added, "You just volunteered yourself!" Zeke finished, earning a punch from Ryo. "Ooooooo!! Our little Yuki Sansai Yorashi is mad!!!!!" (Yuki Sansai Yorashi = Snow, the three calamities: fire, flood and storm, night storm) Lillia teased. Did she mention all three members were older then their captain?
Over at the other corner of the room, Tyson was still freaking out. /Wow… Tyson can sure freak out really good…./ Ray thought. He was standing beside Fei – they were talking about old memories to pass the time, which had always helped in the past.
"Remember that kitty suit that you got caught in on Halloween, Fei? And you said you wouldn't wear it, too!" Ray said, remembering the cute memory from a while ago.
"Aw shuddup! Lee made me dress up in it!! It was a dare!!!" (not really sure how it works… but ^-^;;;;) Fei complained. She was innocent in this!!!!
"^-^;;;; Tyson! You need to calm down already! I'm sure Kai and them will find Dragoon somewhere. I mean, who else would Dragoon be with?" Max said, sweat drops appearing multiple times on his blond head. "Ya. Dragoon has to be somewhere." Tone said, "Or with someone." Katrina added. Tone glared at Katrina a bit, but Katrina just shrugged it off, "It could be a possibility. And it probably is – I mean, Dragoon is a world-class bit beast, you know."
~*~*~*~*~ Flash – BACK ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Then a robed figure came walking in from behind the group, knocking into Tyson on the way. "Sorry dude. Guess I didn't see you there." Tyson said as he made way for the ref.
~*~*~*~*~END of FLASH – back ~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"It was him!!!" Tyson shouted, jumping up, "The first ref! That's why they switched ref's! They have Dragoon!" Tyson said as he pointed towards Tala, "You planned this! You planned us coming here, the bey battles, everything! I bet you guys even planned Kai, Destiny, Alex, and Lya running off too, didn't you??!?!" Tyson accused.
/Whoa. Did Tyson just get… smarter? It's a miracle!/ Tone thought. She looked at Tala, who now stood up straight from his slouching position before, "That's right. We planned this. So what? You can't do anything about it. You're already too deep in the whole to dig yourselves out." Tala said plainly.
Tyson's eyes suddenly thinned considerably, "What?" /Their objective wasn't to capture Dragoon? / Tyson thought, not expecting this.
"That's right. We weren't after Dragoon. But you played into the plan perfectly, and now we have everything we need." Tala said, and the robed figured guys suddenly appeared from all directions, "Now that you're of no use anymore, you might as well leave." Ian said, and the guards grabbed the Japanese teams by the arms, which was quite difficult with their struggling, "You never told us that this was going to turn out like this, Tala." Ryo said, standing up straight and eyes narrowed at Tala.
"You didn't need to know. Now bring them out!" Tala said, and Ryo cursed under his breath, /This was not what was planned!/ Ryo thought angrily. Sticking a foot out, he tripped the nearest guard holding Katrina. He stumbled – giving just the right amount of time for Katrina to escape and run off into one of the tunnels.
As the others were brought out, Tyson was literally cheering for Katrina,
"WOOT! TAKE THAT YOU STUPID SOAB! YOU DESERVED IT! NOW KATRINA IS GONNA BLOW UP
YOUR STUPID PLAN! BET YOU DIDN'T EXPECT THAT, DID YOU?!?!? HA!!"
"O.o;;; I know you're happy that Katrina's in and everything, Tyson, but we need to think of a plan." Kenny said, "We don't know what they're planning. Lya, Alex, Kai, Destiny, and now, Katrina's in there. It was probably their plan all along or something.."
"You mean they could have planned Katrina going in too? DAMN!" Tyson shouted, angry now that Kenny had fouled his happy mood, "Not likely. Did you see Tala's and Ryo's faces when she escaped? I saw what Ryo did – he was the one that made the guard trip. And he was smiling like a Cheshire (?) cat. Tala was the exact opposite." Ray said, and Fei and Ryu nodded, "Tala's expression was priceless!" Fei said, nearly laughing.
"He looked like something out of a horror movie. The one that's just about to get eaten, ^-^," Ryu agreed. "Ok. Now that we're calm, we should start planning. I say we stay here and plan," Ray suggested, "Not a bad idea. If they come out, we can go barging in," Max agreed.
"But what about Kai and them? Shouldn't we warn them or something?" Tone asked, and Ray nodded, "Ya. I'll go tell Drigger to warn them for us," Ray said, sending a mental message to Drigger.
A few moments later, Ray got the bad news. "Drigger can't get through. He says some sort of barrier around the Abbey is blocking him from linking to any of them."
"O.o;;;; That's not good, right?"
"Ya. And they're partying inside about having being kidnapped," Dizzi said, "I'll try to figure out what's going on." She said a moment later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Katrina ran. She had to find them – before whatever those jerks planned works. /We have to hurry! Who's the closest one to us, Eterni?/ Katrina asked, /Can't….. reach…… them……/ came Eterni's strained voice a few seconds later, /What?? Eterni! Are you ok?!/
/…… …. Can't ….. barrier….. connect…../
/A barrier? A barrier is blocking you from speaking with me! It's blocking out mental link too?!?!?/
No reply. Katrina growled a bit – something she rarely does. /I've gotta find them. I just gotta!/ Katrina thought as she turned a right…
…and crashed into a certain red head.
"Ow…"
"Lya!! I'm so happy I found you, Lya!" Katrina said, hugging her team mate, "What? I haven't been gone that long…." Lya mumbled, not sure what Katrina was talking about, "I'll explain on the way. But for now, we have to look for the others!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kai growled. Dragoon was no where in sight, and he had no idea where he was. From what he could see, he was locked up in some sort of room with bars – and someone was there. /This isn't right. Abbey doesn't have a dungeon…./ Kai thought as he tried to move his hands. But it proved unsuccessful – his hands were tied to something.
"Who are you?!" Kai said coldly to the other person in the cell, "Answer me!"
"My, my, still as impatient as ever I see." A voice replied. /Holy shit! What the hell is he doing here?!?! And chaining me up to a wall? What the hell!/ Kai thought angrily, "What do you want?" Kai replied coldly, turning the other direction so he wouldn't have to look at the man.
"My. So cold even to your flesh and blood?" (O.o THIS SURPRISED YOU, DIDN'T IT?!?!!)
"Flesh and blood my ass."
"Your ass has flesh and blood too, you know."
"Damn you."
"Just keep saying that and you'll never see the light of day again."
Kai cursed under his breath, "What do you want me for? Grandpa is already in jail. You have no power anymore."
"That does not mean I never will have power again, my dear Kai. And you can choose whether to
help me or not."
"Like I ever will."
"Very well then. I'll just have to look for someone else capable of handling Black Dranzer."
"What? Black Dranzer was destroyed a long time ago…"
"No, it wasn't. It's just that you had rejected to use it when Voltaire gave it to you the second time. That was his undoing."
Kai growled. So he still had Black Dranzer after all, huh.
"No one else can handle Black Dranzer, and you know it. Without me, Black Dranzer is as useless to you as your stupid team."
"Not quite, Kai. You rejecting Black Dranzer again will be your undoing as well."
"I'm not going to become undone just because of a measly thing like that," Kai retorted.
"Very well then. We'll test your theory in the tournament, then." Three men, when the man had snapped his fingers, had appeared. They entered the cell and unlocked his chains, keeping his hands behind him and leading him to another door and shoving him outside, back into the cold.
"We'll see about that, father." Kai growled, and he started walking back to the entrance, where he was sure the others would be.
(BET YOU GUYS DIDN"T EXPECT THAT!!! XD)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alex continued running. Damned people – they had kept on getting in her way until just the last turn. She was still running – thank god for the training she had gotten. But Dragoon was no where to be seen, and she knew she couldn't get in touch with Bluefyre from previous experiences.
And then she had to stop, and her shoes screeched and light dust came flying up. /That hurt. My poor ears! Who the hell would be standing in front of a running person!?/ Alex thought angrily.
As the person walked closer, step by step, Alex was actually surprised by who it was. "Boris? You got out from jail? Yeesh… You need to be put in solitary or something…." Alex mumbled, "Enough with the compliments. Let's get straight to business, shall we?"
"And what shit would that be?"
"Your power and loyalties."
"Keh. That's called bribing, Boris, and you're just horrible at it. You and I both know I'm not going to take that shit. Now get out of my way!" Alex shouted as she ran past him, shoving him on the way. /Keh. That bastard deserves it… now to look for Dragoon…/ Only 15 minutes before meet up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lya and Katrina were still running down the halls. But again, dead ends and wrong turns kept on getting in their way. Katrina had finished explaining, and Lya wasn't surprised at all, "Ryo probably tripped the guard on purpose. From what I can tell, he doesn't like not being told stuff like this. And I know a lot." Lya said, earning a sweat drop from Katrina.
Lya looked at her watch, "We had better go back. At this rate, we'll just get lost. The others are bound to find Dragoon. This part of Abbey is just too big a maze to hide Dragoon in,"
"Are you sure? This looks like a good place to put Dragoon in.." Katrina mumbled. "Yes. I remember this scratch over here – we'll take just as long to get back to the main entrance, and it's easier this way. This maze will just go on forever. It's better stopping now then never getting out."
Katrina sighed. No matter how little she knew about Abbey or how little she knew about the maze, she knew Lya was right. /I just hope Kai's alright…/ Katrina thought as she nodded and they started heading back…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~15 minutes later and back at the main room~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No one was there except for the four girls, Alex, Destiny, Lya, and Katrina. Destiny had been the lucky one and had found Dragoon – "It was actually in that corner over there…. Dragoon must've dropped out when the ref bumped into him," Destiny explained. They were all panting – they had been running for the past half hour! They deserved a rest…
"You guys go without me.. tell Fei I just want to spend some more time with my old buddies, k?" Destiny said near the door, and Katrina smiled warmly at her, "We'll do that." Destiny opened the door, and the three girls left, Dragoon in Alex's pocket.
Oki oki. Pretty short chapter…. But a good one no less, ne? 6 pages is good… rite…?
At least I got it up in… 2 or 3 days? That's good! And this chappy is full of mysteries. Is it getting good? Yes? No? Maybe so? Just go to that little blue box and click it and you can tell moi! ^-^
THX EVERYONE!
