"I guess you didn't trust me after all Boris. I'm hurt."
Even as she spoke, Ice moved away from the rest of the team, and adapting a wounded expression, began to slowly make her way towards Boris. Kai had never seen Boris look so happy.
"I knew you were up to something from the moment you got back. Voltaire's personally trained blader doesn't fail so easily. I knew Voltaire was wrong to train female bladers, and I'm sure to get a very big reward for bringing you back. Of coarse Voltaire will be very happy to see you Ice."
"I'm sure he will. I've missed him too."
"Ice, I'm surprised at your foolishness. I always thought you were smarter than this. If you had completed this assignment Voltaire would have held you in even higher regard. But you chose to take my punishment and help these children take back what you stole. I hope you don't regret your choice."
Boris frowned. Though it is true that Ice betrayed him, she was Voltaire's favorite. Of all the bladers in the Abbey, Voltaire had only personally instructed a few. Those few included Tala and Kai. It was well known that Ice grew up by Voltaire's side and was exceptional. For while he trained young bladers, Voltaire always sent them to the Abbey once they were five. Ice had been the exception. Though she rarely came to the Abbey, each time Boris saw her, she was with Voltaire, and the old man had clearly favored her with an almost fatherly air. Thus Boris had been extremely angry when Voltaire insisted on using 'the best' for this assignment, believing Boris's own pupils to be incapable of 'an operation of such delicate nature'. Killing this traitor now may still anger Voltaire, though he doubted it.
While these thought began to take form in his brain, Ice had been going over her plan in her head. It was the only option. She didn't even know why she was helping them, but. Kai was here. Kai might get hurt. She couldn't allow that. In one swift movement her hands pushed the gun against the wall to her right. Boris's howl of pain echoed as his hands were smashed against the hard stone. A well aimed kick caused our villain to double up in pain. Taking this opportunity, Ice turned to the door and watched as Kai lead the Blade Breakers out before following herself. Boris was fuming.
"LAUNCH ALL LASERS! KILL THEM IF YOU HAVE TO!"
Coming back at him from the headphones was a shaky and confused voice. The poor scientist had almost been given a heart attack.
"I-I'm sorry s-s-sir. All units are mal-malfunctioning."
"WHAT!?"
Damn that girl! She knew this was coming. He regretted ever agreeing with Voltaire and giving her access to all functioning units in the Abbey. Running to the window he watched helplessly as his own men were trapped by his electric field while those brats got away. The red figure turned to face his window just as she exited Abbey grounds. Her taunting voice caused Boris to crush his upgraded headset.
"Give my best regards to Voltaire! And tell him my debts are repaid! Bye bye Boris! I hope you have fun!"
- - - - - - - - - - - -
"I think we can stop running now. I'm getting out of breath."
The group stood catching their breath while Kai surveyed all of them with a disapproving eye. Out of breath after such a short sprint. What loosers. Ice stood staring at the ground, seemingly absorbed in memorizing a very interesting crack in the hard rock. After they had all stood up, she faced them determinedly.
"After I'm gone, look out for Boris and Voltaire. The Demolition Boys are much stronger that any opponent you've ever faced, and much stronger than you are now."
Tyson grabbed her arm. Seeing her wince from the contact, the holder of Dragoon let go quickly, reminding himself that she was hurt.
"Come on bud. You're staying with us."
Astonishment was written all over her face as she turned to meet each one of them in the eye and saw nothing but genuine trust and friendship. Even Kai looked less stern, it seemed to her.
"You would keep me with you, after everything I've done. Knowing that Boris is after my blood."
"Hey you saved our lives, and helped us get our bit beasts back."
"Yeah. I'm sure you had a good reason for taking them in the first place. You're still part of the team."
"Besides, you need you for the World Tournament."
Turning to face Kai, she waited for his judgement. Ice truly wished that he would also forgive her, but knowing Kai.
"You stole their bit beasts, not mine. I couldn't care less."
It was enough for her, and Ice knew that was the closest thing to being forgiven she was going to get from Kai. Laughing, she almost felt sorry she had agreed to take on this assignment.
+ + + + = + + + +
JAZZMAN-"And.yes.yes WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!! THE BLADE BREAKERS ARE THE NEW WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!"
His whole team rushed at him. Even Kai was smiling. Tyson sighed and punched the air. This was great! Tala didn't stand a chance! Max thumped him on the shoulder and Kai was speaking to him too.
"You did great Tyson. I'm sorry for being such a sourpuss. You are a better blader than me. Can I have your autograph?"
He laughed modestly while posing for the reporters.
"Sure bud! Free autographs for everyone!!!!! Hey mister Mayor!"
The crowd cheered and the Mayor came through. Laughing and shaking his hand, the Mayor gave him a little card.
"That's a free food card for every restaurant in the world! Even Oliver's! And Tyson, we named a pizza after you! You're standing on it!!!!"
He looked down. Sure enough he was standing on a giant pizza. He dropped to he knees and took a large bite.
"Thanks Mister Mayor!!!! This is great!!!!!!!"
'It's called the Tyson Pizza!!!"
A pair of feet appeared in front of his face, disturbing his pizza eating ceremony. Looking up, he was glomped by Ice, who had stars in her eyes and gave him a big kiss.
"Oh Tyson. I love you."
"Tyson."
Happily grinning Tyson closed his eyes and launched himself at her, pinning her to the ground.
"I love you too."
Just as he was about to kiss her, she punched him in the face, hard. Falling back, Tyson opened his eyes, holding his hand to a bleeding nose. In front of him sat Kai, looking like he was ready to kill. Behind him Max was rolling on the floor, trying to hold back tears and thumping the ground. Tyson grinned stupidly at Kai as the youth towered over him, clenching and unclenching his fists.
"Heh, heh. Hi there Kai! Your up early."
Kai's voice was dangerously low.
"It's 12 moron."
Gulping, Tyson flew into the bathroom and locked the door, feeling the wood shudder each time Kai attempted to knock down the door. He could still hear Max laughing.
"Max!!!!!! Help me!!!!!!! He's gonna kill me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Ye-yeah Ty-Tyson. I-I-I'll go get RAY!!!!!!!!!!HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!"
"That kid has problems."
Tyson heard Max's laughs go into the hall. Soon the door stopped shaking. Still shuddering in the shower, Tyson considered what he was going to do about food. He heard the room's door open and Max's giggles. Ray's voice was talking to him now.
"Tyson. We've got 'Tyson Pizza' out here. MMMMMmmmmmmm. It's ssssooooooooooooo good."
Tyson sniffed the air and his stomach grumbled. Drooling, he decided to risk getting beaten into pulp by Kai and stuck his head out the bathroom. Max and Ray were sitting on the bed, cheese dripping from the pizza in their hands. Taking a step outside and seeing no Kai, Tyson rushed to the pizza. Just as he was about to bite into the mouth-watering delicacy, someone lifted him up by his collar. He was roughly turned around to face- the one and only-Iceburg, otherwise known as Kai to most of the human race. Tyson gulped nervously before holding up the pizza in his hand to Kai's face, hearing Max and Ray howling with laughter and exit the room, leaving him alone with Kai, who's normally expressionless face was showing a devilish smirk.
"H-hey K-Kai, b-b-buddy! Want s-some pizza?"
"No Tyson."
Kai's use of his name instead of 'moron', 'idiot', 'stupid', etc. frightened him even more. Squeaking, Tyson felt helpless as Kai slid open in balcony door and extracted a pair of handcuffs from.somewhere.
The Authoress would like to take a moment to give a little science lesson. Why do raindrops fall from the sky? Why do our planets revolve around the sun? How are planets formed from nebulae? These are the questions of stupi-errr, innocent children as they sit mindlessly wondering mindless things under apple trees. Yes, the answer, my friend, is GRAVITY. Say it after me now, GRAVITY. GRAVITY is the force pulling all of us little boys and girls towards the center of the earth. That's why you don't fall off the face of the earth. Remember children, GRAVITY pulls us DOWN.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HHHHEEEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPP!!!!!!!! PLEASE KAI I'LL DO ANYTHING!!!!!!!! KKKKKAAAIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!"
Many floors below, Chief and Ray were enjoying breakfast. Sipping from his cup of tea, Ray looked in the general upward direction, and cursed the ceiling for blocking his view.
"What did Kai do to him Ray?"
"No idea. But judging by the sound of it, it's working. Where's Max?"
"Oh, he had to go to the bathroom and dunk his head in the toilet bowl cause he wouldn't stop laughing."
"Hey Kai! Over here!"
They both looked up to see Kai calmly striding towards them, looking pleased with himself.
"Uh.what did you do to him Kai?"
"hmp."
"Right. Oh Ray, weren't you meeting up with Ice today?"
"Yeah. I haven't seen her all morning but I've gotta go meet her soon."
Kai's ears picked up the conversation. So that's why Ice had disappeared all morning. She was getting ready for a DATE with Ray. For some reason, Kai wasn't happy when that word jumped out at him. His previous good mood at dangling Tyson out the balcony by his feet was quickly disappearing. Grunting he began walking away again to avoid the rest of the conversation. Perhaps a bit of training would take his mind off things. However, now that the World Tournament was over, the Blade Breakers were splitting up. As much as he hated to admit it, Kai wasn't looking forward to leaving his team. Although he had already decided to stay in Russia for a while, before travelling the world to learn more about beyblades, somewhere in Kai, he knew he was going to miss them. All of them. Even stupid Tyson, to a certain degree. And Ice. Though she is on their side again, Kai couldn't help but get a very strange feeling about her. (No it's not LOVE). In one way, she seemed vaguely familiar, though he was certain he had never met her before in his life. In another way, Kai never thought of her as he might of thought of Max, Chief, of Ray, just another teenager with mental problems. But nothing strange ever happened with her since she rejoined them, dispite his distrust in her. It's almost like he was expecting something big to happen. Shaking these thoughts from his head, Kai launched Dranzer. Watching the phoenix rise from her blade Kai's mind abandoned all other thoughts.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Ray approached the meeting spot. Ice wasn't there yet. Behind Ray, a crumbling ruin was all that remained of a once magnificent castle. It was strange that she chose a meeting place like this one. It was in the center of the town, but people still avoided it. Ray couldn't blame them. It had a haunted feel to it, like there was always people watching you from inside those broken windows. Ray did like Ice. It was a strange attraction, like a moth drawn to a flame, without knowing why. Something about her drew him to her. 'And I'm the moth.' A humorless smile flashed across his features. Ray was sure this wasn't what he felt when he was with Mariah. Then it was clear. He liked Mariah, maybe loved. But with Ice, nothing was clear. When she had asked him to meet her here, Ray couldn't reject the offer. Something about Ice drew Ray to her like a curious cat.
Frowning that she still didn't show, the black haired boy turned around to view the ruins. As he did, he noticed a small patch of red stuff near the gate. Just as his face paled, a chilling scream came from inside the ruins. No one was around to here the scream except for Ray. No one saw the small patch of blood. As the feline pushed open the gates and rushed inside, the only thought in his mind was the scream that was obviously Ice.

No way you're going to get what's happening next. It's so twisted as our plot moves on that even I had trouble understanding.^_^
Even as she spoke, Ice moved away from the rest of the team, and adapting a wounded expression, began to slowly make her way towards Boris. Kai had never seen Boris look so happy.
