Anime: *on the floor, looking pretty beat up* Er....bleh.....wha...?
Anya: I must applaud you Kai. Those were some impressive moves you did.
Kai: Hmph. That was for freezing me...Now, for ShadowYami...*goes off to find ShadowYami and give her a 'seeing to'*
Anya: Oh well, guess that leaves me with the fic again...
============================================================================ ============================
The train pulled into Moscow station. Tyson jumped up from his seat, excited.
"I can't believe we're back in Russia!" "It will be nice to see Tala again. I'm not so sure about the other Demolition Boys though..." Max commented.
Kai slid the cabin door open. He had a new dark blue coat on with the Blade Breaker symbol on the right breast pocket, his duffel swung over his shoulder. He threw the three boys their new coats.
"Let's get going. Ray and Anya are already outside. And Tyson, grab a map when we get off the train."
Tyson made sure his coat was fastened; no way he was going to get a cold like last year! Stepping off the train, the four boys met up with Anya and Ray, who were waiting for them. They left the station. It was only when they were two streets away from the station, did they realise something.
"Uh guys?" Max piped up. "Where is our hotel?"
The group stopped and pondered this for a moment. Kai sighed, annoyed. "Tyson, I thought I told you to get a map from the station." "Uhh...."
The group looked annoyed at Tyson. The Chief opened his laptop and looked at Kai.
"Kai, what's the name of our hotel?" "We're staying at the Odéen Uspekhov Hotel". "Dizzi?" "Sorry, Chief, I can't speak Russian! Might want to ask for directions." "Too bad we can't speak Russian", Max commented.
Anya looked around. She detached from the group and spoke to a woman some way away. The guys looked at each other, confused and walked after Anya.
"Spasiba. Das svidaniya!" Anya said to the woman before turning to the guys.
Tyson, Max and Ray looked surprised; Kai and Kenny looked impressed.
"I didn't know you spoke Russian, Anya!" Tyson commented. "You never asked." was the reply. "The woman said our hotel wasn't very far away from here; c'mon."
The guys followed Anya. Sure enough, within a few minutes, they found their hotel. The group didn't need Anya's Russian, as the receptionist spoke English. When they got to their rooms, Anya claimed one for herself, being 'the only girl in the group.' Tyson hadn't unpacked when he spoke the evitable words.
"I'm hungry! Let's go and get some dinner!"
Anya wisely decided against going down to the restaurant with the guys, since Tyson was already making a beeline for the fake fruit basket in her room. After dinner, and before the restaurant could throw them out for Tyson's gluttony, the boys decided to go for a wander around Moscow and see if anything had changed; namely, if Biovolt and Balkov Abbey were still standing. The boys went to fetch Anya, but all they found in her room was a note:
Sorry boys, Felt like taking a walk around Moscow on my own. Anya
Tyson read the note slowly and commented, "Sounds like someone we know would do." "Yeah, but one difference, Kai's never polite enough to leave a note..." Dizzi piped up.
Kenny ran out of the room, mumbling he needed his coat; avoiding Kai, who looked like he wanted to smash the annoying laptop. The group decided to walk around Moscow and gang up with Anya if they find her.
Purposely heading for Balkov Abbey, the boys observed the now abandoned building. Tyson and the boys glanced back at Kai.
"Hey Kai, you happy to be standing here? We can leave now if you want."
"Do what you want Tyson. That building holds nothing for me. It's just a pile of rocks as far as I'm concerned..." Kai replied, not taking his eyes away from his former training school.
"And thanks to you, we are able to forget about it too."
The Blade Breakers turned around at the sound of a new voice. Tyson grinned.
"Alexander! Tala!"
The two boys walked up to them. Kai nodded simply to the former Abbey boys, and they nodded back.
"We heard you were in Moscow, and we waited here to see if you'd come." Alexander smiled.
"I knew you'd come to make sure this place was shut down, Hiwatari." Tala commented.
Kai just looked away. The boys walked away from the building.
"So how have you been, Alexander? The last time I saw you; the Abbey guards were dragging you away, kicking and screaming." Tyson asked.
"I was kicked out of the Abbey. I stayed in a hostel for awhile. After you guys won the tournament, and the Demolition Boys were in need of a fifth blader, I joined." Alexander said in one breath.
"Which brings me to my first question; do the Blade Breakers have a fifth blader?" Tala asked.
"Yeah, but she's wandered off somewhere." Ray answered.
"She?"
"Yeah, Anya. The only girl in the Blade Breakers!" Max smiled.
"What does she look like?" Tala asked.
"Short hair, silvery eyes, about yay high, most probably wearing a big brown cap and a pair of goggles around her neck."
"I think we've seen her. Near the Abbey, where Tala and I were waiting." Alexander commented. "We didn't get a very good look at her though, but she wore a brown cap and goggles like you said."
"Where did she go?" Tyson asked.
"She left about three minutes before you came."
Tala walked beside Kai. They remained silent, but amicable enough. Tyson had decided he wanted to find the nearest restaurant, even though he had only eaten a few minutes ago. Max and Ray wanted to find some bladers in the area to do some training. Agreeing to meet in the hotel before dark, they went their separate ways, leaving Kai with Tala and Alexander. Alexander stopped smiling for a while before turning to Kai and Tala.
"You guys do remember what day it is today, don't you?" he asked.
Kai and Tala nodded, and they walked the opposite direction.
*********** In a small memorial building on the other side of Moscow, Tala, Kai and Alexander looked at two paintings on the wall. Alexander came forward and placed a wreath of flowers on the floor underneath a smaller of the two portraits.
A plaque was between the pictures on the wall; the engraving announcing
THESE PORTRAITS ARE TO COMMEMORATE THE LATE BALKOV FAMILY. MAY THEIR SOULS REST IN PEACE.
Tala, Kai and Alexander stood before the portraits, sombre expressions on their faces.
"It's been six years now. Do you think she's still alive?" Alexander thought out loud.
"Who knows; but if anyone could survive the world out there, she will." Tala answered simply.
Kai just looked at the portraits, remembering the people's appearances. He closed his eyes and walked out of the building, the two other boys coming after him, having come to do what they wanted to do. Stepping out into the sunlight, they walked away, thinking of the girl in the smaller portrait, wondering if they will ever see her again.
"I'm sure she's fine," Kai voiced. "In fact, I bet she's even joined a Beyblade team and we'll see her again."
The other boys smiled and nodded. It did seem the more likely thing for her to do. The boys walked on, but didn't notice a shadowy figure walk into the memorial building. The figure stopped before the portraits of the Balkov family, interested.
"Where are you hiding my sweet." a raspy voice spoke.
============================================================================ ============================
Anya: *sighs and cracks her knuckles* Gee, I almost feel sorry for you, Anime.*leans back on her chair and sits in her normal neutral position.*
Anime: *muffles through all the bandages* mmph.?
Anya: Well, all this writing.it's a strain on the brain. Where do you get the inspiration?
Anime: *tries to look happy, but too painful*
Kai: *walks in, dusting his hands*.
Anya: Well, the wanderer returns. How did your civil talk with ShadowYami go?
*A groan from another fic and the wail of an ambulance*
Anya: I see.
Kai: She won't be covering anyone in cookie dough anytime soon.
Anya: Oh well, I guess I should do the review replies now.
Mizu_Tenshi - Well, yes, I, Anya, have updated in the place of the incapacitated Anime.
Sskyes4000 - Hmm, well, what do you think of my chapter then.?
ShadowYami - Yes, you have heard correctly, and judging from the ambulance sirens outside, you did not get away very easily.
DragonMasterEmerald - Ah, yes well you see, DME, Anime was unable to snap her fingers to make something happen because Kai snapped them for her.
AAMSA - well, there's no need to be rude!!!! And is that as original you can get?
Achika - Well, Anime does have something lined up, I think.
Anya: I must applaud you Kai. Those were some impressive moves you did.
Kai: Hmph. That was for freezing me...Now, for ShadowYami...*goes off to find ShadowYami and give her a 'seeing to'*
