Chapter 20: Into the Flames
Lying in the dish was a motionless black and silver blade, Dranzer gave a screech of victory before she and Black Dranzer split.
"Alright, yeah go Dranzer!" shouted Tyson as he jumped up and down,
"Yeah, Dranzer won!" shouted Max-joining Tyson,
All the bit beast looked at one another before making their way over to the phoenixes.
"Yes, they won, they won!" Emily and Mariah shouted in glee as they danced around, Tala had a faint smile on his face, he was glad that Slifer had been defeated, or at least that's what they thought. The Russian teen suddenly remember Kai, he quickly ran over to the other side of the dish where the blue haired youth lay unconscious. The others took note of Tala running across the dish, and at the sight of Kai lying on the floor remember that he was hurt.
The Bladebreakers, White Tigers, All-Starz, Majestics and the bit beasts were all crowded around Kai.
"Is he Ok?" Emily asked, looking at Tala who was kneeling next to Kai,
"I don't know, he's lost a lot of blood," replied Tala,
"We need to call an ambulance" Kenny spoke up
"Do any of you have a mobile phone?" Ray asked looking around, but to their misfortune all shook their heads in disappointment.
"There isn't a public phone anywhere around here," said Kevin
"Just great!" shouted Tyson throwing his arms up in anger,
"Keep calm young one" came a soft yet strong voice
"Huh?" Tyson turned round to see Dragoon eyeing him,
"I know, but it's hard, Kai could die" Tyson said with a sigh,
"We know you will do all you can to save him" Dragoon responded
"Here use these to apply pressure to the wound," said Lee stepping forward holding out the white bandage wraps that he would normally have wrapped around his wrists,
"Thanks," said Tala, taking them he slowly and carefully pulled off Kai's black tank top, and began to wrap them around Kai's chest. When Kai was slightly forward (at the time Tala was pulling the bandage around Kai's back) Robert caught sight of the large scar running across Kai's back,
"Hey what's that?" he asked kneeling down next to Kai,
"Huh?" Tala looked down Kai' back and caught sight of the scar,
"Oh, that's from a few years ago" the red head explained before pushing Kai back again,
"It must have been painful" Mariah whispered even though everyone heard,
'Yeah it would have been' Tala thought to himself as he tied at knot in the bandages.
"Now what?" asked Max,
"Umm, I guess we should get him to a hospital" said Emily
Unknown to any of the teens or bit beast when they were all crowded around Kai an abbey worker had come out and picked up Slifer's blade, quietly walking away he crept back into the abbey.
"Oh no" gasped Max
"What!?" Tyson asked looking at the blond,
"More bloods already coming through" said Max pointing at Kai
"Huh" everyone looked down to see Kai's chest completely covered in blood once again,
"The cuts are too deep," said Lee stepping forward
"There's no way we'll make it to a hospital, Kai will probably be dead before we even get there" spoke Johnny,
"SHUT UP!" snapped Tala, looking over at the Scottish blader,
"He's not going to die" Tala said a little more calmer, but he was starting to really worry about whether Kai would actually survive or not,
"What can we do, he's losing blood fast, and we can't get to a hospital," said Mariah worrying,
"Well there is the abbey, but they wont help him, if anything they'll finish the job off," said Tala looking behind him at the tall gray building.
"You humans are pathetic" spoke an eerie feminine voice,
"Black Dranzer!" shot Dranzer glaring at the black phoenix
"What, it's the truth" the dark phoenix spoke again
"Hey at least where trying to save him!" Tyson yelled his fists clenched,
"Watch your mouth boy!" shot Black Dranzer her voice cold and icy showing the pure darkness that resided in her very being,
Tyson jumped back in fear at the tone the phoenix held,
"Hey, if I were you then I would be the one wanting to watch what I say!" shot Dragoon taking a step towards the dark phoenix,
"Who asked you?" shot Black Dranzer narrowing her eyes at the blue dragon her dark voice dripping with hatred
"Dragoons right, you should watch yourself Black Dranzer, because you're out numbered" spoke Driger,
"Hmhp" Black Dranzer just closed her eyes and turned her head away,
"That shut her up" laughed Dragoon,
"Hey, leave her alone!" shouted Dranzer narrowing her eyes at the pair,
"Why are you defending her?" asked Driger, eyeing the phoenix
"She deserved some respect you know, if it wasn't for Black Dranzer I wouldn't have been able to defeat Slifer, and numbers don't count for anything, Black Dranzer would easily defeat you two" shot Dranzer
"Or have you forgotten the incident that took place on a certain frozen lake quite some weeks ago" the fire bird added glaring at the dragon and tiger,
Driger and Dragoon both growled at Dranzer before turning away from the two phoenixes.
"Well the fact still remains about what where going to do about Kai" said Galux moving forwards, she then sat back down on her haunches. Silence suddenly fell upon the group, no one knew what to do, Kai was most probably going to die, and they couldn't do anything about it.
"I have an idea," mumbled Dranzer, everyone looked over at the fire phoenix
"Move out of the way" Dranzer said as she stepped forward. Spreading her wings, Dranzer became an aurora of red light. The bright scarlet light took on the general shape of a phoenix, with a high-pitched screech she dove forward into Kai. The Russians body glowed red as the phoenix moved though him. Slowly the blood covering his chest disappeared, also some small cut on his arms faded away. Tala pleaded off the now white bandages to revel that Kai had not cuts covering his chest what so ever, Tala leant Kai forward to look at his back, and to his disbelief the large scar that once covered Kai's back was gone,
"Wow" Tala spoke as he ran a hand down the smooth pale skin, quite amazed at what Dranzer was capable of. Kai's body began to glow more brightly, and the four blue triangular marks on Kai's face also began to glow, but only for a few seconds before the light faded away. The aura of red light left Kai's body, as did Dranzer. The phoenix went back to her solid state, and turned to look back down at her master.
"Wow Dranzer, I didn't know you could do that," said Tyson in awe
"Yeah Dranzer, you just saved him" cheered Max,
"You humans are hopeless, didn't you know that phoenixes are capable of some healing powers" Black Dranzer spoke again her voice cold and harsh filled with such hatred, Tyson and Max flinched at her icy voice worried that the black bird may suddenly turn on them,
But Dranzer didn't look as happy as everyone else did,
"Huh Dranzer, what's up you look unhappy…why?" asked Mariah looking up at the magnificent fire phoenix,
"Well, when I entered my Master's body, I was able to heal him removing any cuts or scars he might have had",
"Yeah which you did" Lee cut in
"No I did not," said Dranzer shaking her elegant head,
"You did" Max corrected her quickly looking over Kai's body.
"The scar I was unable to heel is the most obvious of all, every person who has ever looked at my Master would have seen these scars," Dranzer said in a soft sad tone
"Uhhh?" Tyson was a little confused, he looked Kai up and down a few times but still had no clue,
"Not all scars are the same young Dragon," the phoenix spoke,
"I think I get it" spoke Ray still looking down at Kai,
"What Ray?" asked Max,
"The marks on his face" came the neko's simple answer,
All the teens let out a shocked gasp and looked down at Kai's face, everyone's eyes were locked onto the four blue triangular marks on Kai's face,
"They're scars?" asked Max looking up at Dranzer who nodded her head,
"But they have been there for too long, so I was unable to do anything about them" explained Dranzer,
"Whoa, I always thought they were face paint or something" Tyson said looking down at Kai again,
"No I only wish they were" Dranzer spoke again her voice still soft with sadness. Everyone looked back down at Kai when a soft groan escaped his lips,
"Kai!" Tala yelled giving the Russian boy a slight shake. Slowly Kai's eyelids fluttered open reveling dark crimson eyes.
"Wha?" the Russian whispered when he caught side of Tala
"Kai, you Ok?" asked Tala with a slight smile
"Where am I?" Kai asked in a soft voice
"Outside the abbey" Tala replied
"The Abbey, why are we outside?" Kai sounded a little confused,
"What…don't you remember?" asked Tala
"Remember what?" Kai looked up and saw all the bit beasts and other beyblade teams gathered around,
"Hey…why are all of you here?" a soft breeze blew past them, sending a sudden shiver over Kai's body,
"And why aren't I wearing a shirt, and these aren't my cloths?" Kai had become extremely lost,
"You don't remember a thing?" asked Ray
"All I remember is being in the punishment room, but I soon lost consciousness. Then I was in one of the abbey's giant test tubes, next thing I know I'm lying here on the floor with all of you" explained Kai
"Wow, so you have no know idea of what's happened over the last few weeks?" asked Tyson
"It's been that long?" Kai asked looking up at the dragon blader, who just nodded in response.
"Come on, lets get back to the hotel" said Ray, while Tala helped Kai to stand before putting his shirt back on,
"Yeah lets go" said Tyson, a few of them turned and had taken at step or two before a cold voice broke through and stopped them,
"NO", they all turned back to see a determined look on Kai's face
"What do you mean NO?" asked Tyson walking towards the Russian
"I mean, where not leaving let, well I'm not, you lot can go," said Kai before turning and walking towards the abbey. A loud screech echoed throughout the silence as Dranzer flew forward and blocked Kai's path to the abbey
"Young Master what do you think you are doing. Go back with your friends" Dranzer spoke in a kind voice, she new not to yell at her Master.
"No, I have no clue what Boris has done to me over the last few weeks, but I know for a fact that none of it would have been good. So I'm going to have a little chat with Boris, and finish this once and for all" Kai said narrowing his eyes at the phoenix. Kai held up a dark blue beyblade that was still in the pockets of the black pants (why it's there I don't know). Holding it before Dranzer he was giving the order for her to return. The golden eyes of the phoenix held both sadness and sympathy, but she obeyed and with a flash of red light the phoenix disappeared into the depths of her bit chip, with another flash of light Black Dranzer flew forward entering Kais blade as well. Lowering his hand Kai continued walking
"Wait Kai, if you go back into the abbey, who knows what Boris will do to you," said Ray
Kai stopped and turned to look at the others,
"Just think of what he might do if I DON'T go back into the abbey" said Kai emphasizing on the word don't.
"Huh?" Tyson had a look of confusion on his face,
"What I mean is, if I go back to the hotel, and act as though nothings happened, how long do you think it will be before Boris comes up with another crazy idea to get me to rejoin BioVolt again" Kai explained
"Oh" all the teens stopped to think about it,
"You see, it's an endless cycle, that's why I'm going to put a stop to it now, no matter what" Kai spoke in a determined voice before turning and continuing his way up to the abbey.
"Come on" yelled Ray, pulling out his blade Driger returned and Ray ran to catch up with Kai,
With a smile Tala pulled out his blade that once held Wolborg, holding it out in front of him Wolborg returned.
Looking down to where Kai was lying, the teens saw all their bit chips, running forward and grabbing them the bit beast returned to their bit chips. The teens then ran to catch up with Kai, Ray and Tala,
"I hope you know what you're doing Kai" said Lee
"If you're worried then don't come" Kai answered in a dead voice
"Hmhp" Lee narrowed his eyes at the blue haired Russian but kept on walking.
Walking around to the cellar door, Kai pulled up the wooden door, holding it open Tala was the first to jump through, followed by Ray and so on and so forth, with Kai jumping in last.
"Now where?" asked Tyson in a quiet voice. Kai quickly scanned the small dark room before gesturing them to follow him. Walking strait down the cellar they soon reached a door. Pushing it open they had now reached to lowest levels of the abbey.
"Come on this way" Kai said walking to his right. Staying close to the wall they were concealed by the shadows, but it wouldn't be long before a group of that many people was spotted. Going up a few flight of stairs and turning around lots of corridors they soon reached a large metal door. Kicking it open Kai walking through followed by the others.
"Well hello Kai, so nice to see you again…but so soon" came the cold voice of a Russian man.
