'Two thousand miles away from
These stormy skies
To salty air
Knee deep in mid-west quicksand
There's no reason to say good bye' - Story of the year
Chapters 11 - Bringing it back together
(Tyson)
Now don't get me wrong, I was grateful for the chief quitting his job and coming to help me fight the Demolition Boys but...Kenny's...a bit of an amateur when it comes to blading.
After my encounter with the D Boys I was standing outside thinking when suddenly I heard Kenny scream my name.
I told him about the Demolition Boys and he told me about Biovolt and, well it was interesting.
"What about the others?" Kenny had asked me but I shook my head sadly and he instantly knew that they would not be coming.
"I have three days to prepare before I fight them...alone," I said solemnly.
"I'll fight with you!" Kenny exclaimed.
"Kenny?" I cast him a quizzical look. Kenny's a pro in beyblade statistics but when it comes to real blading...let's just say he could improve the technique he says is so important.
"I'll help you train," Kenny offered. "Besides, you need all the help you can get."
Though the entire situation still seemed hopeless to me I smiled at him. His support and help meant a lot to me and I told him so.
Kenny's been with me way before I met the others and it looked as if we would be together until the bitter end.
"Well no time like the present," Kenny said, stretching lazily. "Let's start straight away!"
(Kai)
I sat, or rather crouched, in the shadowy corner of my apartment as the clock ticked the lonely minutes by.
The gloomy room was almost silent, like the kind you see in horror films just before something large and ugly fall down upon the hero.
A half-empty duffel bag stood by the door. Dirty dishes I had been to lazy to clean lay stacked in the sink for the landlord to find.
I smirked, imagining the angry look on the chubby landlord when he came round to collect the rent only to find me gone.
Outside a car honked. I looked up to see my ride waiting for me. Grabbing my bag as I made my way out, I slammed the door shut, leaving a less-than- polite notice for the landlord to find.
"The airport, please," I instructed the driver of a red minicab.
The man tapped his cap respectfully as I stepped in and drove off.
I was leaving Japan.
I was going back to Russia, yeah mother Russia. Not to Biovolt of course, I swore I would never willingly go back there. No, I would be in another part of Russia, far away from Biovolt and Voltaire.
Why was I leaving Japan? Well think about it; there's was nothing left in Japan for me, was there?
So what did Russia have to offer, I hear you ask. What is this, twenty-one questions?
Well as a matter of fact I had connections in Russia, non-Biovolt connections. I could also keep an eye on Voltaire if I was closer to him.
~
Waiting at the airport was so tedious. Crowds of people push past you in all directions accompanied by screaming children and slow OAP's.
There was no place for me to sit; all the chairs were taken up due to a delayed flight, so I was stuck leaning against the wall in a very Kai-like fashion, just watching with no real interest at the people arriving in Japan.
I felt like I was going to doze off waiting for the speakers to announce my flight number when something caught my eye.
He saw me the same time as I did and we both stopped dead and stared at each other.
I thought, 'oh crap,' but I didn't let my thoughts show.
"Err...hi," I waved.
~
I couldn't believe I was back in my apartment, back to where I started.
After ripping down the note I stepped back into the familiar room with my companion. No, I'm not saying who it is; you have to guess.
Yes, I was slightly pissed off that I had spent all that money on an air ticket and missed my flight but I shrugged it off, hoping to sell it on E- bay later on. Yes, it was out of date but people will buy anything off that site.
Anyway, I was more worried about the person I had met at the airport.
He sat at the table and I took a seat opposite him.
"Want one?" I asked, offering him a plate of biscuits like an idiot.
"No thanks," he declined, sighing as he shook his blonde head gently from side to side.
I sighed too; squirming on my chair in the uncomfortable silence that threatened to pin me down.
"Look - "
"I know what you're going to say, Kai," he interrupted.
I looked at him quizzically, but he averted his gaze.
"You do?" I asked,
"No," he admitted silently.
I smirked, just a small triumphant smirk that was barely noticeable.
"Why are you here?" I asked, my voice hardening as I spoke.
Blue eyes savagely glared at me. "To help Takao," he almost spat. He looked at me as if I was scum that didn't deserve to be in his presence...which I probably was. "Where were you going?" he then asked.
"Russia," I replied promptly, but then realising how it must look I added quickly, "not back to Biovolt, somewhere else."
"That's just like you to run away," he said bitterly.
"There's no purpose in me staying," I defended.
"You working for your grandfather?"
"I said I wouldn't go back to Biovolt, didn't I?"
"Then what will you do?"
"I dunno, why do you care?"
We sat in yet more silence. It was getting so annoying that a part of me wanted to go berserk and rip it down. Damn silence, it never used to bother me before.
I had to say something, anything. Unfortunately in my haste to get rid of the pestering silence I ended up sounding like a complete idiot.
"You know, when I was growing up in Russia with Voltaire I..." I stopped myself from saying any more but he was already looking at me expectantly so I swallowed my pride and just went through with it. "...I really loved him."
That was the last time I said the L word. If anyone tells you differently then they're lying.
I sat there feeling like the biggest dork in the universe and the person opposite choked "Y - you're kidding, right?"
"God honest truth," I said, holding my hands up innocently.
"You serious? Well that explains a lot."
"Maybe it does," I shrugged. I had already gone this far so I decided to explain. "You see, when I was young he did everything for me. At least he was a hell of a lot better than my parents were. I loved him and I thought he loved me too."
A voice inside me was screaming out to stop. Telling people private things made me uncomfortable to say the least.
I remember how happy I saw when I got away from my parents and their over- protectiveness. Leaving them was probably the biggest mistake of my life but I'd die before I go back.
"When I got a little older I realised what he was doing to me, "I continued, "he wanted me to be strong and to be able to look after myself but somewhere along that line he lost his way...and he destroyed both our hearts while stumbling in the dark."
Ah, the tragic story of the innocent boy corrupted by the foul and twisted evil grandfather. Huh, yeah right, like I wasn't the one who chose to go with him.
It could have been worse It's just kind of sad how things turned out but when you have an evil, world-domination obsessed devil in the family it's to be expected.
"Is that what you want to tell me?" the person...okay, you've guessed by now. Max said coldly.
Yes, Max, did I spill the beans? Blonde hair, blue eyes, wants to help Takao, I thought it would be obvious. Anyway, back to the point.
"Do you expect me to feel sorry for you?" Max asked, his blue eyes were like ice.
Of course, I didn't expect to be forgiven. How could he forgive me when I couldn't even forgive myself?
"I don't expect you to do anything but understand," I said softly. "I know what it's like to feel betrayed. You begin to question everything you know, try to wonder what went wrong but most of all you feel as if you can't trust anyone else ever again."
He looked slightly taken aback by that. "Yeah..." he said in an almost inaudible whisper.
"I never meant for things to turn out this way," I said and I was telling the truth. If I could have stopped that bullet then I would have. "Voltaire couldn't control the events and he ended up creating this," I gulped and continued. My eyes were full of sincerity for the first time in years. "I couldn't control the events either and.."
"I know," Max cut in. "I still can't forgive you now; it's too early but maybe, just maybe, one day these wounds will heal."
I nodded in understanding. It was impossible to forgive me now but time would heal him and, hopefully, everything would be all better.
I'm getting naive now; must be a result of hanging round the dorks.
I would never have even dreamed of saying what I did next if not for months of hanging out with the gang.
"I'm sorry."
You'd think that the great Kai apologising would have more of an effect but Max just shrugged and stood up, making beeline for the door.
"Whatever, I don't have tome to waste sitting here," Max said as I watched him leave. He suddenly turned just at the door, looking right at me he said, "but...you can come, that is, if you want to."
I smiled. Not a smirk, a real smile.
It was time to bring it back together.
(Tyson)
I felt my heart pound as I watched the Demolition Boys appear for our fated match.
I stood feeling as calmly as I could with the chief by my side ready to do battle just like in those films.
The underdog always wins, I told myself.
"You're all alone!" Spencer sneered. "You don't stand a chance against us!" "He's not alone!" Kenny yelled defiantly.
"You brought the dweeb?" Tala asked ludicrously, his eyes were dancing with amusement. "What about the others? Don't they care about you anymore?"
I gritted my teeth together, willing myself to save my anger for the battle. "Shut up and blade!"
"Fine, let's make this quick," Tala nodded approvingly and launched his blade, the rest of his team following suit.
"I hope you're good enough to put up a bit of a fight before we flatten you on the floor," Ian smirked.
"Why are you doing this?" I demanded. "Biovolt is using you, you're just a tool for them. You don't want to be used so why are you being so mean?"
"Why do you ask so many damn questions?" Tala countered.
"Come on, we're here to blade not to talk," Bryan yelled gruffly.
"Then let's go," I challenged, signalling Dragoon to run up the dojo wall and down a nearby tree in a game of cat and mouse.
"You can't run forever!" Bryan roared angrily. "Faerino!"
I gulped as Bryan's blue blade began to glow ominously. Just one super bit beast was enough to shatter my blade let alone four at once.
The blade continued too glow and something small with wings emerged from the blue blade.
A faerie.
What is it with these weird bit beats? I would have fell about laughing if not for the seriousness of the situation.
This is Bryan we're talking about. Bryan! Bryan with a faerie! I'm sorry but that's just not right.
Bryan's blade made a lunge for mine but Dragoon swerved out of the way and Faerino hurled down the road and right into Kenny's blade.
I watched aghast as the two collided and Bryan's blade, being the more powerful, sent Kenny's little beyblade flying into the air and clattering to the ground.
"Ah! I'm out!" Kenny cried.
"It's okay, you did your best," I reassured him. I was so proud of the way he battled; it inspired me to keep on going no matter how bleak the outcome was
"No! I can't loose!"
"But you will!"
"No!"
"I can't watch!"
"Damn!"
"Huh?"
"Miss me?"
"What are you doing here?" I cried, I think my mouth was hanging open at the sight of him. "What about the village? What about the rules and duties?"
"Rules are made to be broken," Rei answered obscurely "Mariah told me that."
"So you have a little friend," Spencer sneered, "big deal, you're still gong down."
"Yeah, it's better for us this way, 'cause we don't have to travel all the way to China to get your bit beast," Ian added.
Rei growled, his pupils dilated and he became even more cat-like and savage than before. "Just try getting Drigger," he challenged.
Spencer's eyes narrowed dangerously but he didn't look nearly as threatening as Rei did.
Spencer's red blade rounded upon Drigger and he called out his own bit beast.
"Harpano!" he yelled and, you guessed it, a harpy appeared. It was probably the most threatening of all the super bit beats.
"A harpy?" Rei said in awe. "That's."
"Wrong, I know," I finished the sentence.
"Let's see if you'll be laughing after this! Harpano! Razor wing!"
The harpy screeched, it's metal wings and cruel talons glinted hideously in the light.
We both braced ourselves for the impact as a sudden gale threatened to knock us off our feet.
Dust swirled everywhere in the wind. I thought it was over but when I opened my eyes both Rei's blade and mine were still spinning strong accompanied by yet another green beyblade.
"Hey, I know that blade!" I gasped but I was sure that I was seeing things. It had to be my imagination.
"Aww, you guys started the party without me," Max laughed the same friendly, hyper laugh I missed so much.
"Max!" I cried joyfully. Despite the fact I was in the middle of a very important battle I felt as if things were the best that they could ever be.
I was wrong, of course, things were only beginning to get better.
"What about me?" Another voice said and another blade spun down to join the fray.
My eyes bulged with happiness. "Kai!"
During our little reunion the Demolition Boys had been silent but now Tala coughed impatiently.
"Is that it?" He asked, slightly peeved. "The Majestics aren't going to suddenly parachute down, are they?"
"No, I think that's it," I answered happily.
"Then let's battle, the real match is about to begin."
