Sorry for not updating for a while, but I wanted to re-edit all the other
chapters first. I have slightly changed a couple of them so this next
chapter fits in properly. I think it reads better now.
You might want to re-read them, so you know what is going on!!
Anyway, nuff said...
Enjoy !
Chapter 6
The room was dark. The old curtains barely covered the window. Every now and then, a flash of light from a passing car would illuminate the room. Then the darkness would come back.
Brain leant back on a rickety chair to survey his workmanship.
The wall opposite him now displayed a set of four rings. Two at head height, parallel to each other, an arms width apart. The other two placed directly beneath them, but level with the floor.
Brian had cleared the room. Not that there was much to clear, all that was left was the chair he was sitting on, and the bed.
This was an old, run down hotel, no one else was staying there, nor would be. Tala had seen to that. The owner was not going to have any guests other than themselves. Brian had to admit, Tala had his uses. Whether he liked it or not.
Satisfied, he got up and pulled on one of the rings. It jingled, echoing around the hollow room. Brian grinned; he was going to enjoy this.
He felt his phone start to vibrate next to his thigh. Pulling it out, he answered.
"Yes?"
"Brian, its me. I have the package. Phase one is complete. Meet me in 10 minutes. I`ve gotta go." Tala cut off the line before Brian could say anything.
Making one last sweep of the room, Brian did up his coat and left, happier than he had ever felt before. Revenge was going to be soo sweet.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Max couldn't help but give a sly smile as he watched Kai gently move the hair off Tyson's face. They looked so cute together. If only Kai would realise Tyson`s feelings, and then return them.
Kai left him alone with Tyson.
Max removed his friend's baseball cap, and took off his shoes. Walking over to his own bed (Max was sharing a room with Kai) he took the duvet over to Tyson and covered him with it.
Sighing, he sat down on his bed and put on his headphones, turning up the volume. Keeping watch on Tyson was going to be a long, boring task. He was going to sleep for hours, and then some. He hadn't even stirred since Kai had brought him back, and Max wondered what had happened between them.
With his music playing full blast, and his back to the door, Max was oblivious to the goings on just behind it.
Then Kenny burst in.
"MAX..HELP..KAI... TALA.." he shouted between breaths, panting heavily.
Max didn't move, hadn't even heard him. Kenny rushed over to him and lifted up one of the earpieces.
"MAX, HELP KAI NOW!"
Max jumped off the bed and fell onto the floor, landing on his back.
"ARGH!" Max screamed, "Kenny, what the hell are you trying to pull? Is this your idea of a joke? coz` it`s not funny!"
Kenny helped Max off the floor. "Take those things off! Kai needs your help in there. Tala`s up to something"
"Oh, right, sure." Max pushed Kenny towards the bed "You stay here with Tyson" and exited the door.
"Great. Now I`m a babysitter." Kenny laid down on Max`s bed and cuddled the pillow, rocking backwards and forwards. "Oh no. I left Dizzy back there."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tala turned away from Kai and moved swiftly to the hall where Kenny had made the phone call. Next to the phone was a laptop.
It was open.
"So what have we got here then?"
"Kenny?" A female voice questioned "I want to know what happened? KENNY!"
"Well, well, well. Look what I`ve found. Would you, by any chance be ...Dizzy?" Tala liquid voice asked
"Who? Me!. NO, no..I`m just .um."
Tala smiled. "Your going to be my new best friend" He put his hand flat on to the screen. Fingers spread wide.
"Now my *friend*. You will tell me your secrets"
Dizzy squeaked, "Hey, what are you doing? Take your hands off me you creep.." She stopped talking abruptly as Tala`s mind invaded her system. "That's it, tell me everything." Tala whispered, his eyes glowing redder.
The Blade breakers previous battles flashed in Tala`s mind, beyblade reports, private e-mails between members of the team. Everything any fan, or psychopath would want to know.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
It looked just the same as it had when he'd left. Only it seemed deserted. Not noticing the broken vase, until he trod on it "Uh oh"
It was eerie, so quiet. No sign of either Kai or Tala.
Kai groaned, alerting Max to his presence.
"Kai!" Max ran over to him and rolled him onto his back.
"Kai, talk to me. What happened? Where`s Tala?" Kai just groaned again, but stronger this time. He felt so weak. His body not wanting to respond to anything he wanted to do. All he could manage was a groan. The only part of his body he could feel was his arm, where Tala had held him, and that was tingling like pins and needles.
Max shook Kai to try to get him to come around.
"Kai wake up" his voice starting to rise in panic. "Come on Kai" he was worried. A bruise was starting to form on Kai`s cheek bone from where he had collided with the wall.
Kai fought to get conscious. To regain the control and feelings of his body. Struggling inwardly, he began to feel a warm, but irritating tap, tap, tap on his left cheek.
Max was gently patting Kai`s face to help bring him back. It worked. Kai`s eyes fluttered open. The constant tapping made Kai feel like a Morse-code machine. He found it so annoying that it pulled him back to the land of the living.
"Stop it Max" Kai growled.
Max cheered, "Welcome back. I was worried there for a moment bud!"
There were shouts and feet pounding out side their rooms. The door was kicked in and Mr Granger and Mr Dickinson strode in.
"Where`s Tala?" Mr Dickinson sounded excited.
"Where`s Tyson?" Mr Granger (Tyson's Dad) sounded worried.
Max looked over at them. Kai just groaned again. Making the adults rush over to them. "It`s ok Mr D. Tala`s gone. I just found Kai alone. He`s seen better days though."
"Oh thank goodness" exclaimed Mr Dickinson "Let`s have a look at you my boy!" He knelt down next to Max and started examining Kai`s arm.
"Where is Tyson?" Kai suddenly demanded, as his brain got hold of the situation. Max smiled "In the bedroom" Kai glared at him "He`s not alone! I swear, I left Kenny with him!" The words gushed out of his mouth.
The adults all let out a sigh of relief. Kai relaxed a little, but kept his mask on.
"What did Tala want?" Mr Granger inquired, he had wondered around the room, looking at the mess. "To join us"
They raised their eyebrows quizzically "So he says. But I know he had other motives. I stopped him getting hold of Kenny." He took a breath and sat up, hating all the attention. "He tried to take Kenny!" exclaimed Max, blue eyes shinning with excitement "Why?"
"Well, he`s the brains of the team, so to speak" relied Mr Dickinson. "Lucky you came in time then Kai" Kai ignored him and spoke to Mr Dickinson instead, changing the subject. "So how much of the Biovolt Corporation needs to be rounded up now?" He made to get up.
Tyson`s Dad stopped him. "Stay still for a while longer kid. Looks like you got hit pretty hard there." Pointing to Kai`s face.
"Don`t remind me" Kai grimaced, and made no further moves to get up.
"Max, go with Mr Granger will you. I need to talk to Kai in private" Mr Dickinson looked knowingly at Tyson's Dad, who gave a small nod back. This was noticed by kai, but Max missed it completely.
"Sure thing Mr D !" Jumping up off the floor, he followed Mr Granger out of the room. "So, where are we going?"
Tyson's Dad looked down at Max. "To see if Tala, or any other Biovolt members are still in the Hotel. Let`s start in the Lobby shall we." Max skipped off towards the lifts, before his arm was jerked back. "Not so fast Max. Take it slowly, we might miss him if we rush!" - and I`m getting too old for this!- he thought as they walked at a more sedate pace.
