Thank you too all that have reviewed so far. I'm glad to know that you all seem to enjoy my story.
Chapter 13: Alone in the Dark
(Kai's POV) {This is like the first time I've written in first person POV, so I'm sorry if it turns out crap}
I slowly opened my eyes, I looked around to see where I was. I remembered that I was in the abbey and that I now belonged to Boris and my Grandfather. I suddenly felt very dizzy and put a hand to my forehead trying the steady myself, for some reason instead of feeling my skin, I felt a runny sort of liquidly substance. I removed my hand and looked down upon it. I received a slight shock when I saw that my hand was covered in blood, I lifted my other hand and saw that it too was drenched in the crimson liquid. I slowly stood finding it hard to gain my balance, I looked down to the floor and notice I was standing in a pool of red. As I began to take a step forward I felt a surge of pain run up my leg and throughout my whole body. I clenched my fists and squeezed my eyes closed, doing the best I could to withstand the pain that drowned my body. I put my other leg forward then placed the first in front of that, I think I must have managed about two or three steps before I collapsed. The cold stone floor sent a shiver down my spine. I slowly opened my eyes once more, there I lay, my bare stomach pressed hard against the floor, both my arms were in a position that would say I was about to push my body up off the floor, it seemed though that I was unable to find the strength to do so. My face was centimeters from the ice-cold ground, I watched as droplets of blood and sweat fell from my face to the floor, within seconds a small pool had already formed. I squeezed my eyes shut again, and bit down hard on my tongue as I tried once more to push myself from the floor, but to no avail. I then began breathing heavily, when I opened my eyes again they started going out of focus. I suddenly heard the door open, I tried looking up trying to see who it was, but had trouble focusing on any special features the person might have to give me some indication on who they were. My vision was becoming darker, every few seconds all would just turn black then suddenly the colours came flowing in at once. The colours took no pacific shape, making my vision a swirl of colour. I soon became light headed and after some seconds, sleep must have taken my body.
(End Kai's POV)
The figure stepped forwards, the man picked up Kai's limp form and headed out the room.
(Kai's POV)
My body felt…well wet, and in a lot of pain. All my muscles ached I still felt slightly light headed too. I couldn't see anything though. And my sense didn't seem to be working as well as they should have been. I could hear sounds but they were all muffled. I started to wonder were I was. I forced my eyes to open, everything was blurry, and green. I then realized were I was, it all seemed too familiar. I looked down at my arms and legs and caught sight of lots of tiny wires coming from them, and heading out the glass tube that I was suspended in. I could see blurred shapes walk past me every now and then. I had attempted to call out to them but my voice was soft and croaky, also the oxygen mask that I wore over my mouth and nose muffled the sounds a little bit more. I had no idea what time it was or what day it was for that matter. I wonder what the Bladebreakers and Tala were doing at the moment. They probably didn't miss me in the slightest. I had always been such an ass towards them.
"Uploading, memory scan". Huh what was that? "Now scanning". There it goes again, that strange voice. I suddenly felt a shock of pain run down mine spine, and my head began to hurt like I hard a really bad headache but worse. The pain didn't seem as though it was going to fade anytime soon, I was squeezing my eyes shut, and had my fists clenched, doing all I could to stand the pain for as long as I could. I started feeling light headed again, I had a feeling that I was going to become unconscious very soon. My senses were starting to slowly tune out dropping off one by one, "Deleting memory", that was the last thing I heard before everything became total darkness.
(End Kai's POV)
"Alright Tala, what do you mean Kai's a murderer?" asked Ray as he and the other three Bladebreakers along with Tala all sat down on the couch in their hotel room,
"He is, but not intentionally," the red haired teen said
"What, you mean that Boris forced him to kill someone?" Tyson asked
"No, he had a choice"
"Huh, I'm confused" Max said
"Why don't you explain everything to us?" suggested Kenny
"Alright, but I'm only saying what's needed to be said. I don't want to tell you anything that Kai doesn't want you knowing" Tala replied
"Ok, but we'll find out eventually," said Tyson as he got more comfortable
"Don't be so sure, well anyways where should I start. Alright well, you all know that Kai was raised in the abbey, right" the four other teens all nodded, Tala continued, "Well when Kai was thirteen, Boris began the project of Black Dranzer. When Kai first caught sight of that black blade he was totally mesmerized by it. I knew he couldn't wait to try out its power, but of course Kai was too young and inexperienced to use Black Dranzer, but that didn't stop him. One night Kai snuck out of the room that we shared, I should have tried to stop him but for some reason I didn't. Well I don't know exactly what happened after that, but I knew he was out to get that dark phoenix. He must have broken into the laboratory where it was kept. I guess that when he tried using Black Dranzer she was way too powerful for him, I remember a loud rumbling sound, followed by some screams. All the kids ran from their rooms and to the main room. We learned some hours later that half the abbey had been destroyed, we were never told how the abbey began to collapse but I figured it was Kai, the power of Black Dranzer was immense and the whole abbey just started to crumble away"
"So how does that make Kai a murderer?" asked Tyson
"Five people were killed in the accident, two abbey workers and three children. One of those kids was Boris's son, the other was a good friend of mine and the third was well just some other kid"
"Yeah but, still Kai didn't actually kill them himself" stated Ray
"True, but no one ever told Kai to go steal and use Black Dranzer, he new that he wasn't strong enough to control such power, yet he went anyways. And thanks to Kai I lost a good friend"
"So how long have you and Kai known each other?" asked Max
"Are whole lives, you see both are fathers had been best friends since high school, and when they got married naturally are mothers then became great friends. So since birth Kai and I had always gotten along great. We were like brothers in every way except blood. But when we got to the abbey and I learned that because of Kai five people had lost their lives I was so angry. I never talked to him again after that night" Tala paused for a few seconds then continued "Yesterday at the tournament I realized how stupid I was. I mean Kai and me had been friends since birth yet I had only known Allen, that's the name of my other friend, for about two years. Then I thought that it was partly my fault those people died, because I could have stopped Kai. I knew where he was going and what he was going to do, yet I just lay there and let it happen. I'm sure that if I had told Kai not to go he probably wouldn't have. Not only was I angry that Kai killed five people but I thought that he never got punished for it. I mean most of the kids would get punished for doing the slightest thing wrong, but everyone thought that Kai got all the special treatment. Even I thought that," Tala sighed as he continued, "I never thought Kai's punishment had been so bad that it almost killed him, the abbey workers would always beat us but never had they use weapons of any kind. They always relied on there strength" Tala's sky blue eyes began to sparkle as tears formed in his eyes, he blinked a few times holding them back.
"It's Ok Tala, we'll save Kai, we have to" said Tyson trying to comfort the Russian boy.
"Hey Tala why don't you go have a rest" suggested Kenny
"Huh" Tala looked over at the smallest boy in the room
"Yeah Tala, you can rest in the room me and Kai share" Ray told him
"OK" Tala's spoke quietly as he got up off the couch and headed to one of the bedrooms. It was already about one in the morning.
"I think I'm going to go to sleep as well, good night," said Max with a yawn
"Yeah good night Max, I won't be to far behind you," said Tyson as he got up off the couch to stretch his legs. After a few minutes all the teens in the hotel room were fast asleep.
"Memory has been deleted sir," replied one of the abbey workers as he continued to type away on his computer
"Excellent, upload the new memory right away" came the cold harsh voice of Boris who stood facing a glass tube, which was filled with a green liquid. He stood and stared at a teenaged boy, who at the time was only wearing a pair of black shorts (Hmmm, just imagine Kai in only shorts starts to drool, kinda like how Tala looked in 'New and Cyber Improved' but better, wait I'm getting sidetracked here) and suspended in the liquid.
'Hmm, soon…the world will be ours' the purple haired man thought to himself as a smirk crossed his features.
Well that's another chapter down. Hope you liked it. Oh and sorry about the wait.
