While Dranzer was crying to his master, begging him not to fall to the
drugs the evil men gave him; Dilandau went towards the place of his
nightmares.
/I can't believe I am going to go in there...... Willingly!/ Dilandau yelled in his head.
/You have to, for the phoenix./ A voice said, male sounding.
/What?!/ Dilandau looked around him; /No one can read minds, not even the bitch from the Mystic Moon!/
/That's correct. However, your holding onto the 'blade of Kai's./
/Black Dranzer.... Impossible!/ Dilandau disregarded the notion.
/Trust me. With me by your side, nothing, not even that dragon.... Or Escaflowne, can stop you!/ Black Dranzer exclaimed.
/Stay focused! We have to get Kai!/ Dilandau scolded the black phoenix.
"Well, at least the odds will be tipped in my favour," Dilandau said with a smirk, and ran down the hall, he looked at each door, trying to remember which room it was that those sorcerers used to experiment on............... The albino winced, remembering the pain he went through.
He found the door, and opened it, to see the sorcerers surround a body; the only indication that it was Kai was the blue hair. The door was not fully open; Dilandau did not want to fight just yet. He looked at the beyblade in his hand, and remembered how Kai launched it.
"I feel stupid........ But this is the only way to get Kai back," Dilandau launched the blade into the room, and Black Dranzer rose into the air in his dark glory.
"What the...?" The young sorcerer said, surprised to see a black phoenix above him.
"A phoenix?! They are all dead!" The other sorcerer cried out.
"Huh, you have no idea!" Dilandau said, and charged at them, cutting and stabbing any of the sorcerers who got in his way, while Black Dranzer, feeling Dilandau's anger and rage, and love for blood, not to mention fire, used his power over the black fire to wipe out the rest of the sorcerers.
"Now......." Dilandau untied the restraints on Kai's arms, and then felt a hand on his neck, cutting off his air.
The blue haired boy, whose eyes had been full of so many emotions, were now empty. He held Dilandau's throat in his bare hand, and then saw Black Dranzer, which cause him to gain a red like aura.
"Black Dranzer..... Who allowed you out? You only obey Kai," A distorted voice of Kai's came out.
The black phoenix could say nothing, but used his right wing to gesture towards Dilandau, who was running out of air.
"I...... See......." The voice became that of Kai's again, and Dilandau's throat was free of any hold; "What happened?"
"I'd have asked the same thing," Dilandau told Kai, undoing the restraints on his feet.
"Who were those men in the black cloaks?" Kai asked, and noticed the pain and fear in Dilandau's eyes.
"Those men were sorcerers," Dilandau then became silent, but he knew he had to continue talking; "They can genetically modify people, usually in a painful way. They have, somehow, managed to interlink you with Dranzer,"
"How?" Kai asked, but it was to himself, not Dilandau.
"And they didn't realise that you had Black Dranzer," Dilandau gestured to the black phoenix, who remained in the air, watching them.
"Black...... Wait! You managed to release him?" Kai said, sounding surprised.
"Yes. Somehow he got into my head and told me that I had to use him," Dilandau said, with a shrug.
"Well, he's no long mine any more," Kai said; "You have to call him back into the blade,"
"How?" Dilandau had his turn to ask.
"Hold out your hand," Kai made the gesture and Dilandau followed. The black phoenix went back into the blade, and the blade went into the albino's hand.
"Do I have to use a blade for this?" The albino asked, and Kai laughed.
"No, but let's get out of here," Kai said, standing, feeling a wave of dizziness, and then the two ran out of the blood bath room.
Dilandau realised that Kai had not noticed any of the dead bodies. It was odd. The albino had realised when they had first met that Kai was not a warrior of any sort, so dead bodies should surprise him, or make him feel ill.
However they had no time to discuss such matters, all which mattered, was that Kai got out of there, and back to where the Vione was based.
/Dilandau is now the owner of Black Dranzer............ I'm worried. Black Dranzer can use Dilandau's skills and manipulate him to make him become a cold hearted.../ Kai stopped that thought process; /Now myself and Dranzer are connected, how will I beyblade now? Should I continue to 'blade though? Is that really my destiny? After all that trouble we went through, defeating Boris, and then the Saint Shields, not to mention King and Queen................./
"Kai!" Dilandau yelled, and Kai looked up surprised; "Your glowing an aura, stop it. Your making people look at you,"
Kai nodded, not knowing how to stop such an aura. Red was Dranzer, so that would mean that Dranzer was hearing the conversation Kai was having in his head, and mustn't have liked it.
/Once we get back to the Vione, I'll have to figure the whole thing out. Every thing, like how I got here, what those guy's did to me, and how Dilandau knows so much about them. Not to mention this war, it makes no sense./ Kai shook his head and continued to follow Dilandau, and noticed they were close to this air ship.
Folken stood there with the 15 Dragonslayer's next to him. The two slowed down the running pace and walked the last yard towards them.
"I'm glad you're all right Kai," Folken said, glancing at the boy, noticing that some needles were still in his arms and stomach.
"We, need to, talk," Kai said, glaring at Folken; "Now,"
"All right," Folken walked onto the Vione, and Kai noticed that the Dragonslayers had bowed down towards Dilandau, who walked pasted them, following Folken, and said;
"Get up, we'll be leaving soon,"
"Yes sir!" Was the Dragonslayers reply.
Kai just followed the two in front of him, knowing that he would get some answers.
He was in a small room, a table was in it, made of dark wood, and a bottle of something pink was in the middle along with a few glasses. He noticed Folken gestured for him to sit down, so he chose the seat nearest him, a high back wooden chair, with padding at the seat and back area.
"So Kai, what do you wish to know?" Folken asked the boy.
"Those sorcerers, why did they kidnap me?" Kai asked first, noticing that Dilandau had a glass of the pink stuff, and was sipping it.
"I had no idea they were going to kidnap you. I assume its for one of Emperor Dornkirk's plans," Folken added.
"I already said, I want nothing to do with this war," Kai growled, and red aura was growing.
"What else?" Dilandau now asked, and Kai looked at him, the aura calming down.
"Why did you so much about those guys's," Kai asked, and noticed how Dilandau had tensed up, his eyes once again full of fear.
"I'm an experiment..." Dilandau stopped talking, and noticed Kai had a look of realisation.
"The genetic modifications were done to you?" Kai said, surprised as Dilandau nodded.
"Anything else Kai?" Folken asked, noticing how Dilandau had begun to stroke his right cheek.
"Yea, the girl from the Mystic Moon, I heard the sorcerers talk about her from fragments that I remember. Anyway, she's the enemy, right?" Kai asked them.
"Correct," Folken said with a nod, and Dilandau just growled, continuing to stroke his scar.
"Wish I could met her," Kai said, not caring what they thought.
"Well, I think we could arrange that," Folken said with another nod and a small smile; "We're going to Asturia anyway,"
"Allen Schezar," Dilandau growled.
"What?" This confused Kai to no end.
"Simple, you can meet the girl in another country," Folken explained.
"And you have no hidden plans to kidnap her?" Kai asked, and Folken stood up tall, about to leave the room.
"I would never try to kidnap the girl," He declared and left.
"This is just so odd," Kai said with a sigh, and looked at the pink stuff in the bottle that Dilandau was pouring into a glass; "What is that stuff?"
"Vino," Dilandau replied, putting down the bottle and passing the glass to Kai.
"You just made that up!" Kai exclaimed, and Dilandau just stared at him; "I know I'm on a different planet and everything, but....."
"Just drink it then," Dilandau told him, settling into his seat once more; "We can argue the name later,"
Kai took a sip, and realised quickly that he knew what it was; "Wine?"
"Wine? No, vino," Dilandau told him, and Kai shook his head.
"No this is......... On my planet we call it wine," Kai told the albino, stopping an argument that would have begun if he had not done so.
"Hum," Dilandau took another sip; "How do you know its wine?"
"Well, when I was younger........... Most likely about ten years ago*, I noticed some glasses full of a red colour. My parents had friends round, and so they placed their glasses on the floor near the sofa........" Kai looked at Dilandau, wondering if he should explain what a sofa was, but Dilandau beckoned him to continue; "Anyway, I drank from all four glasses, I was fairly drunk. Though none of the adult's realised it until they looked at their glasses, I apparently was bouncing off the walls at the time," Kai said with a slight laugh, and he heard Dilandau chuckle; "Anyway, the next morning I didn't get up as early as I normally did, and when I did wale up, I had an extremely bad hang-over,"
Dilandau continued to chuckle, and Kai laughed as well.
"I can't see you drunk, not so young......" Dilandau said, as they calmed down from laughing.
"Oh, hey, do you have Black Dranzer?" Kai asked the albino, who nodded and brought out the black beyblade.
Kai took the bit out of the beyblade, and then glanced at Dilandau.
"If you get a sword that can have a small space to fit the bit into, Black Dranzer will fight along side you," Kai explained, and Dilandau nodded, looking at the bit of the black phoenix.
"Your all right with me having this?" Dilandau asked Kai.
"I have to be," Kai shrugged and took a sip of the vino; "Deja vue will come along soon I think,"
Dilandau laughed; "Just don't drink so quickly,"
"That reminds me, when am I going to get a non-lumpy bed?" Kai demanded to know.
"Soon," Dilandau said with a smirk, and the two continued to drink the vino, though Kai was careful of just sipping slowly.
"You'll met Van in Asturia too......... He's the one who did this," Dilandau gestured to his scar.
"Yea?" Kai said, both of them slightly tipsy after having there sixth glass of vino. And the night was still young.
"Just watch out for him, you don't know how to fight," Dilandau warned Kai, but this didn't sober either of them up.
"Ha, I have Dranzer inside of me, and I won't be attacked by him, I'm sure," Kai said, and had another sip of vino.
"And Allen Schezar, a womanizer," Dilandau said, and Kai looked interested.
"Right, what do they both look like?" Kai asked, then as an after thought; "What are the chances of me remembering this?"
"High, we're not that drunk yet," Dilandau told him, and for some odd reason they both laughed.
Once composure was gained, Dilandau described the two. And then the two continued to keep drinking until there was no more vino left. Of course the room had another two bottles of the stuff to keep the boy's occupied.
"You know.......... I don't feel any more different with Dranzer inside me...." Kai said, fairly drunk.
"You will in a period of time I would think," Dilandau told him.
They continued to talk about odd topic's, the names of the countries in their own worlds, the strange names, the people they hated. And so it continued until the vino was gone and they had to try and walk to their respectable rooms.
"Fuck it, I'm staying here," Dilandau said, and leaned his head back to sleep.
"Me too, its so far away to the bed............. Which is most likely lumpy, so I would sleep on it anyway," Kai finished his small rant.
"Night," Dilandau said and closed his eyes.
Kai followed suit, hoping for a dreamless sleep. And that his neck would not hurt him when he woke up. Because he only wanted a hang-over, not a sore neck as well.
*
* - Kai will be 15 in this. I have only just decided on that. Also the story that he told is based on a true story, just swapped the beer for wine.
/I can't believe I am going to go in there...... Willingly!/ Dilandau yelled in his head.
