Chapter 25: The Power of Darkness
Dranzer stared over at the teens who were giving her a questioning gaze, they were unsure of what was about to happen.
"Umm Dranzer?" Ray spoke looking the phoenix in the eye wishing for her to tell them what Black Dranzer was on about.
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Dranzer tilted her head back to watch Black Dranzer, with a nod from the black phoenix Dranzer faced the teens again,
"Dranzer what are you and Black Dranzer up to?" Lee looked from red beast to black then back to red, but Dranzer never answered the White Tigers leader. Gracefully Dranzer turned around to face Kai once more, then looking up at Black Dranzer another tear fell from her golden orbs,
"I will miss you" Dranzers once soothing clear voice was soft and croaky, she glanced down at her master before looking back up at Black Dranzer, then with a nod the fire bird took a step back.
"What's happening?" Tyson asked no one in particular,
Some of the teens who were sitting now stood up and came closer to Dranzer, everyone in the room was on the left side of the bed that held Kai while only Black Dranzer stood on the right side. With a final screech Black Dranzer spread her mighty wings, the tips of her feathers were pushed up against the walls seeing as she was too large to be in the room, then slowly dark black smoke lifted off of Black Dranzer's body as if she were about to catch fire, beams of dark light shone from Black Dranzer's wings, then her entire black body was engulfed by the eerie dark lights.
"What's happening?" shouted Mariah, the black lights where becoming too much and the teens had to hold their arms up to protect their faces from the lights engulfing the room they stood in. Slowly the lights died away, instantly looking over at Kai to make sure he was ok, they noticed a small black shape made of black light hovering above his chest, the shape was probably about the size of a basket ball but no where near the shape of one. It was shaped in the general form of a bird or in this case a phoenix. The small shape made some kind of whistling sound before it lunged forwards. As the lights touched Kai's chest or in this case right where his heart would be they spread over his body. Kai lay motionlessly on the white bed surrounded by an eerie black light, the dark lights rippled over and around his body like water, flashing the lights then grew darker again. Ray went to step forwards but was held back when Dranzer spread one of her wings, with a slight shove she pushed him back to rejoin the others who stood behind of next to her, never letting them get in front of her. Ray looked up at Dranzer with an odd look before his sight settled once again on the teen that lay on the hospital bed before him.
The pulsating black lights intensified, the teens all got and small shock of surprise when suddenly a short sharp sound was heard. Michael glance over at the heart monitor but still only saw a thin green line that lay horizontally across the screen. Without warning the same sound was heard again, and Michael could have swore that he saw a tiny bump in the green line on the screen of the heart monitor but wasn't entirely sure. Another loud sound was heard, which caught the attention of all the teens in the room, they instantly looked over at the heart monitor, which seemed to be the source of the sound. The teens got an instant shock when they saw the green line jump up then returned to a horizontal stance,
"No way" Lee was totally shocked at what he just saw,
"Did the heart monitor just move?" asked Max,
"I think so," answered Mariah,
"But that's impossible Kai's dead his heart wouldn't be making any type of movement" explained Kenny,
"Well it just did" spoke Tyson his mouth still wide open in shock,
Suddenly the green line took another leap upwards, then another, with each jump the line took a loud beep was heard.
"Is he actually alive" shouted Max in glee getting excited about what was happening,
"It most certainly looks it," answered Emily with a smile,
Suddenly the heart monitor went crazy, lines were jumping up and down all over the place in no type of rhythm. The short sharp beeps were staring to hurt the teens ears, Dranzer was getting curious about the condition of her master as lent forwards. With a sudden gasp Kai's chest lifted up slightly, then dropped back down. The black lights consuming his body suddenly vanished and the heart monitor stopped once again, a single green line lay across the screen.
"No what's happening, it stopped…why" Tyson was starting to panic unsure of why the heart monitor suddenly stopped again.
"I'm not sure, maybe the things broken" Emily tried to come up with an idea of what had just happened, but found no logical answer.
Again the short sound was heard, looking back over at the piece of machinery they found that it was now slowly beeping in time with that of a relaxed human heart, the thin green line jumping up to the top of the screen with each beat.
Besides the soft beeping sound complete silence had fallen upon the room, no one made a sound of moved in any way. Dranzer was the first, she hoped over to the bed and peered down at her master with golden eyes, looking down at Kai's face she found nothing had changed, his expression still void of any emotions even in his sleep.
"Umm does this mean he's alive" Johnny raised an eyebrow at the unimaginable thought, though he was happy to know that Kai was going to be ok.
"I think so," answered Robert
"I still don't see how it's possible but who cares, Kai's back!" shouted Kenny with a huge grin on his face,
The teens ran forwards and crowed around the bed, all eyes were focused on the face of a fifteen-year-old boy. A soft and almost unheard groan came from Kai, slowly his eyelids fluttered open revealing his dark crimson eyes. Everyone in the room was grinning, no one new how such a thing could happen but they didn't care as long as Kai was back that was all that matter to them. The Russian teens eyes were unfocused and he saw nothing but blurred shapes before him. But at the sight of someone with flaming red hair he realized whose presents he was in,
"Tala" Kai voice was soft and croaky just hearable but the blue eyed Russian new exactly what his life long friend had said and couldn't help but smile down at him,
"Where am I?" was the crimson eyed boys next words
"In the hospital" Tala replied,
"Why?" Kai's voice was shaky and he seemed a little unsure oh himself,
"Well after Dranzer defeated Slifer we brought you here," Tala answered,
"Dranzer" at hearing about his bit beast Kai suddenly began to look around the room for the large fire phoenix, a small smile crossed his lips when he caught sight of his loyal friend, Dranzer gave a soft chirp of happiness as she looked down at her masters face, slowly the fingers of Kai's right arm begun to twitch, slowly lifting his right arm he place it on Dranzer's head, the feeling of her silky feathers sent a loving warmth down his arm and flowed through his body. With another chirp Dranzer tilted her head to the side so Kai's hand now cupped her left cheek, the Russian ran his thumb backwards and forwards across her fluffy cheek feathers. Closing her golden eyes Dranzer seemed to fall under a trance as she enjoyed the touch of her master's smooth skin.
"Kai, how are you feeling?" asked Lee,
"Tied and weak" was his answer as he glanced over at the White Tigers Leader,
"We should leave and let him rest, I don't know what happened to bring him back from the dead but he's obviously tied, and we shouldn't be here keeping him awake like this" spoke Kenny,
"Yeah I guess," said Max,
"But the nurses think he's still dead, what if they come in and take him away" spoke Tyson,
"Well a few of you can stay to watch over him, you just have to keep it down" explained Emily,
"So who's going to stay?" asked Max looking round at the other teens,
"Well the Bladebreakers and Tala of course" spoke Oliver as if it were obvious which I guess it kind of was.
"Well ok" the teens all agreed, then getting up the White Tigers, All-Starz and Majestics left leaving the Bladebreakers and Tala alone in the room with Kai and Dranzer.
Dranzer gave Kai a comforting nuzzle as the teen slipped into a deep sleep, then the phoenix lay her head across the teens chest, just before he slipped away Kai placed a hand on Dranzers head scrunching her beautiful red feathers between his fingers. The Bladebreakers along with Tala set themselves up around the teen.
"Mr. Dickinson, Judy!" Both Emily and Mariah ran towards to two adults shouting their names, the boys all soon followed after,
"What's wrong?" asked Mr. Dickinson,
"You'll never guess what just happened" Emily was uncharacteristically jumping around the old man,
"Why is anything wrong" Mr. D was somewhat confused,
"It's Kai, he's alright" shouted Mariah in glee,
"But Kai's d..." Mr. Dickinson was hesitant in finishing off his sentence,
"No it was Black Dranzer, she did something, I don't know what but Kai's alive" Emily finally stopped moving around and stood still.
"It's true he's ok" the boys all came up from behind with friendly smiles,
"I don't understand, how can…" Mr. Dickinson and Judy were at a total shock,
"Neither do we but who cares as long as Kai's ok that's all that matters" said Lee,
"Well this is great" Mr. Dickinson was still confused but he new that the teens wouldn't lie to him especially with something like this.
"There's no logical explanation for this but I guess that no one knows the real extent to a bit beasts power" spoke Emily,
"Where are the Bladebreakers?" asked Judy looking around,
"Still with Kai of course" answered Oliver,
"Well why don't we go to the café and get something to eat," said Mr. Dickinson,
"Yeah sure" all the teens seemed excited about finally getting some food,
"Just don't let Tyson know where eating without him," laughed Lee as they begun their way down to the hospitals café.
"So Dranzer do you know what just happened?" asked Ray looking down at the phoenix, but the neko teen received no answer,
"Umm Dranzer?" Ray asked again, but still nothing,
"Is she asleep?" Max stood up and peered over at Dranzers face,
"She is, I didn't think bit beasts needed to sleep," replied Max with a laugh,
"Oh well I guess you got your answer then" spoke Tyson.
Tala lent forwards and placed a hand on Dranzers head, then softly began to caress her beautiful bright red feathers. Dranzer gave a soft chirp as she nuzzled her head deeper into Kai's chest. With a small smile Tala removed his hand and sat back in his seat.
"Well maybe when they wake up we'll finally get some answers," said Tyson,
"But do you think that even Kai or Dranzer know what happened?" asked Max,
"Well we'll find out when we ask wont we" replied Ray,
"What about Black Dranzer, where'd she go?" Max had plenty of questions,
"Who knows but honestly I'm glad she's gone, that phoenix can be real scary when she wants to be" said Tyson with a shiver,
"Well she is evil so I guess…" Ray trailed off,
"That's what I want to know, Black Dranzer is supposed to be evil, but she doesn't act it when around Dranzer or Kai for that matter, but she still has that darkness around her, you can hear it in her voice" said Tyson,
"I'll say," added Max,
"But has Black Dranzer actually become good or is all just an act, is there some kind of purpose behind it, I mean what's she got up her sleeve" Ray was acting very serious,
"Sleeve?" Tyson had a confused look on is face,
"You know what I mean Tyson," said Ray narrowing his eyes at the dragon blader.
"Sorry" mumbled Tyson, getting themselves comfortable the five teens sat back ready for the long wait, they had no idea how long Kai was going to sleep for or how much rest he needed to regain his strength.
Down at the café the White Tigers, All-Starz, Majestics, Mr. Dickinson and Judy sat around a large table, all kinds of different foods were scattered across the table with the teens taking a little bit of everything. Then a tall man in a black suit came up behind them, turning the teens along with the two adults looked up at the man with a questioning gaze,
"I'm here to talk with Kai Hiwatari" was all the man said.
There you go another chapter down, and I know it was kind of stupid to have Kai come back to life, but hey we can't have our favourite character gone forever, I mean what would Beyblade be without Kai, …nothing. And also what Black Dranzer did will play a part in the future. Anyways bye for now, oh and don't forget to review.
