Kindof lame, but oh well!
lol
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Hilary! Are you alright? Hil?" Kai asked frantically as the guard holding him released his grip. The teen stumbled over to his girlfriend and examined her face.
She hissed in pain as Kai touched her left cheek where Nikolai had hit her with his gun. "How bad is it?"
Kai held back a snarl and forced a smile. "It's not too bad..."
There was a ragged cut about three inches across her cheek. It was bleeding and small bruises were already appearing under the skin.
"Liar." Hilary smiled back at her boyfriend.
Suddenly, a guard grabbed him from behind and pulled the two apart. Another guard pulled Hilary to her feet as Nikolai came into the room, holding 3 new metal collars.
Tala tried to bite his hand as he secured another collar around his neck.
Nikolai growled and hit him with the back of his hand across the cheek.
Kai was too weak to try and fight back as his uncle approached him.
"What's wrong nephew? Not feeling too well?" Nikolai's voice mocked him as he effortlessly snapped the metal around his neck as well.
The evil Russian walked over to Hilary. A guard stood behind her, holding her shoulders firmly so her arms stayed motionless at her side.
After securing the collar, Nikolai grabbed both of her arms and turned her back toward him. He took out a small rope and began to wrap it around her wrists.
"What are you doing?" Tala asked as their captor tied Hilary's hands behind her. He had never bound them before, why would he be doing it now?
"This girl's powers are awakening.....her hands have become deadly." Nikolai said as he finished and fastened a new collar around Hilary's neck.
"What are you talking about?!" Hilary demanded, somewhat scared by the older Russian's words.
"Do you not realize what you have done?" Nikolai tried to seem surprised, but a small smirk appeared on his amused face. "You might just have the strongest power of them all."
"Explain yourself!" Kai managed to say from across the room. Even though he wouldn't admit it, the teen was curious about the power his uncle was talking about.
"The power to give life can be helpful, but the power to take it is unstoppable. With that power, no one will ever think to cross me!"
"Power to.....take life?" Hilary murmured. "I can't do that...."
"Oh, but you did!" Nikolai pointed to another guard at the entrance of the room. It was the same guard that grabbed Hilary outside.
His right forearm had withered and was now smaller than the rest of his arm, and the skin had turned to a dull gray, almost the color of Kai's hair! It looked as if it were decaying.
"What happened to his arm?" Tala asked.
"She happened to it!" Nikolai pointed a finger at the brunette. "You're increased emotions at the time brought a dormant power from deep within you to the surface. Now that it's awake, you've become quite a threat little lady." The Russian walked away a few feet and stopped. "His arm is no longer able to be used....it's dead."
Hilary was shocked. "I...I hurt him..." She felt like crying. She never wanted to hurt someone like that...if she had held on any longer, she might have....
"It's not your fault Hil...." Kai's voice reassured her.
"What do you want us to do with them Lord Nikolai?" The guard holding Tala asked.
"Bring them to the lab, and get them ready. I'll be there shortly."
The brilliant fire sunset in the sky was quickly fading into darkness, and the snow began to fall once again.
A mound of snow quivered slightly, shaking the fresh snow off the figure. The wind picked up, shifting her hair. She moaned loudly as she opened her dark blue eyes. She looked at the snow in front of her face and gasped as she saw that it was dyed a crimson red.
The events of the past few minutes flooded back into her aching head.
"Kai.....Tala.....Hilary......no........" She murmured to herself.
The wind howled about her and she shivered again.
"Am I dead? Nikolai shot me, didn't he?" She shifted in the cold blanket of snow and cried out in pain.
She suddenly remember Hilary jumping on Nikolai and redirecting the bullet into her shoulder.
"She saved me....." She thought to herself.
Her glance shifted up to the old mansion on the hill, dark and gloomy as ever.
"I have to try and save them now." The young woman forced herself up on her left elbow and on her knees.
The clumps of snow fell from her back and her hair fell forward, framing her face.
Pain shot through her body as fresh blood dripped from her shoulder. She tried to ignore it as best she could as she pulled herself to her feet.
"I need to find some help....the BladeBreakers...." She murmured to herself as she trudged down the driveway. She fell on the iron gates for support.
Her deep blue eyes scanned the city. "I don't know where to go...." She looked at her feet, disappointed.
FLASHBACK
"Kai? What are you doing out here?" A younger raven haired woman asked as she stepped outside into the enormous backyard.
"Ahh..." The little child hissed in pain as he picked himself up off the ground. "I'm practicing Izumi." He smiled up at the woman.
"What are you practicing?" Izumi bent down to the child's height.
The young toddler showed her a blue beyblade.
"It's called beyblade. Daddy told me all about it! Mommy even used to have one! She said she would give me Dranzer!" His crimson eyes were bright with hope.
Dranzer.....the majestic phoenix that seemed to watch over the family. The fountain in the garden was even dedicated to her.
"But you still haven't even mastered that yet." She pointed to the beyblade. "How do you expect to manage a bitbeast?" Izumi asked, cleaning dirt smudges off the child's face.
"I know...but I won't give up! I will never give up!" He smiled at her again. "As long as I have a goal, I will try until I reach it!"
END FLASHBACK
Izumi's eyes flashed as she remembered that day. "Kai never gives up...and neither should I! I'm they're only hope now...and I have to help them!"
With that, she push her pain away and walked onto the sidewalk. She looked down an abandoned street. Night was coming, and the temperature was dropping fast, so people were getting off the street and into their warm homes.
At the corner of the street, stood a pay phone. Her eyes widened in surprise. "I can use that!" She limped over across the street and grabbed the receiver.
"Yes...operator? Can you tell me where the BladeBreakers are staying?.....thank you." She hung up the phone.
"They aren't too far away from here..." She winced and grabbed the side of the building next to her. Her strength was leaving her fast, and she needed to find the BladeBreakers soon!
"Man! That was great!" Tyson exclaimed, patting his stuffed belly.
"I'm sure they won't be having us there any time soon!" Max said.
"Yeah! Tyson ate out the whole restaurant!" Rei replied.
"Well, now that you boys are fed, why don't we go back to the hotel and get some rest." Mr. Dickinson said.
"But what about Kai's mansion?" Kenny asked.
"Everyone I've talked to says it's been abandoned for a long time now. The police won't go near it without probable cause."
The team moaned in disappointment.
They turned a corner and headed closer to their hotel.
"Mr. Dickinson...." A soft voice called.
Everyone looked down the sidewalk and saw a dark haired woman limping towards them, her hand on whatever she could grab to help her stay upright. Her left hand on her right shoulder, and blood oozed out from between her fingers.
"Iz...Izumi?!" The elder exclaimed.
"Mr. D? Do you know her?" Tyson asked.
The BBA President rushed over to the woman just as she tripped over her own foot.
"Izumi! What happened to you!?"
"Mr. Dickinson....it's Kai......they're in trouble!" She gasped out.
"Kai?!" Everyone exclaimed as they gathered around the injured woman.
"You know where Kai is? How about Hilary...or Tala?"
The raven haired woman nodded weakly. "They're all together."
"Rei! Go call an ambulance!" Mr. Dickinson said.
"Right!" The Chinese blader ran off inside the hotel.
"Izumi! Where are they?" The elder asked calmly.
"They are...." She murmured. Suddenly, her eyes closed as she fell into unconsciousness.
"Izumi? Izumi!" Mr. Dickinson shook her softly.
"Is she....." Kenny stuttered.
Both Max and Kenny were paling at the sight of all the blood dripping onto the sidewalk.
Kenny's stomach gurgled. His hand shot up to his mouth and he quickly turned away.
"She's still alive....but barely. We need to get her to a hospital soon!"
