It didn't turn out the way I originally wanted it to, so I hope it comes out alright.
There is blood in this chapter....just another warning
Enjoy!
------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hmmm....how to kill you..." Nikolai thought outloud. "Maybe I should just leave you to bleed to death, or maybe....." He stopped himself as he heard a strange, crackling sound from within the house.
"Be prepared to run Hilary." A voice rang in the brunette's head.
Nikolai's eyes went wide. "What's going on!" He turned his glance over to the motionless bodies in the snow before fixing his gaze at Tala. He was propped up on his elbow, with his other arm reaching outward toward the house. He clenched his teeth and groaned as he forced his hand into a fist.
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, and more smoke erupted from the upper floor.
"No!" Nikolai cried out.
Hilary used this distraction and wiggled out of the man's grasp. She fell on the ground and began to run, but it was too late.
The wall exploded behind her, sending both the brunette and the purple haired Russian flying backward.
Hilary groaned as she hit the ground forcefully. She picked herself up and cried in pain as she moved her wrist. It was indeed broken, and was set at an odd angle.
"Hilary! Are you alright?" Tala weary voice asked as he forced himself to his knees.
"What did you do?" She looked at the house.
"His machine was still running, so I pulled a few wires with my remaining power." Tala took a deep sigh.
Nikolai moaned and stood up, bleeding more than ever now.
"No!" Hilary gasped.
"Why won't you die!?" Tala demanded.
The older Russian chuckled and made his way back toward the red head.
"The question is more like, why won't you die?" Nikolai was breathing hard. He had used up most of the stolen power now, and only had a little left of Hilary's and Kai's.
The Russian grabbed the teen by the collar and forced him in the air.
"I will end your pathetic life now. Say hello to my adorable little nephew when you arrive....in hell!"
With that, Nikolai took out a shorter knife, hidden in his pocket and thrust it into the teen's bruised stomach.
Tala gasped for breath as a sharp pain ran throughout his body.
Nikolai laughed as he let him fall back to the bloody ground.
The red head laid there, eyes wide with his hands clenched around the blade.
"NO!" He heard Hilary cry from the distance.
"Hil....ary.......ru....run!" Tala managed to say before closing his blue eyes and succumbing to the darkness.
The brunette dropped to her knees, tears now flowing freely from her eyes once again.
"No! Not Tala too!" She sobbed. Everyone important in her life was slowly fading away, and her turn was next.
"Now my darling. Where were we?" Nikolai craned his neck over to the mourning girl.
Hilary was too frightened to move. Her eyes went wide as she found herself paralyzed.
"I have to move....I have to run!" She told herself over and over, but her body refused to obey.
Suddenly, she felt the same cold hand around her neck and lift her into the air.
He chuckled as he retrieved his original knife from the snow. "I think I've made my decision." The evil Russian smirked. He drew the knife back, it's silver blade casting a moonlight reflection on Hilary's frightened face. She gasped as she watched the blade begin to descend.
Her teary eyes snapped shut and awaited the pain, but it never came. Instead, she felt herself falling backward onto the ground.
She heard Nikolai struggling and cursing. The brunette forced an eye open to see what was happening exactly.
"Hilary! Do it now!" A familiar voice called out to her.
Both her eyes shot open immediately at the sound of that rough voice. "K....Kai?!" She exclaimed.
Kai had grabbed Nikolai from behind, holding back the arm that was about to slay Hilary. His other arm was under Nikolai's shoulder, holding the older man in place, and unable to attack.
"What are you waiting for!" Kai demanded as he struggled with the Russian.
"How is this possible! You were dead!" Nikolai cursed.
"You should have checked to make sure." Kai smirked.
"No! Let me go!" Nikolai began to shake free of the teen's grip.
Kai cursed. "Hilary!" He called out.
The brunette gasped and nodded, realizing what she had to do.
With that, she got up and placed her palms on Nikolai's cheeks, wincing as her skin touched the cold blood dripping from the wounds on his face. Her wrist cracked again, but she ignored the pain. She had to do this now!
The older Russian cursed. "NO!!!" He cried, desperately trying to free himself of the girl's grip as he realized what his fate was.
Hilary squeezed her eyes shut and concentrated all her remaining energy.
Suddenly, a familiar sizzling sound was heard, and Nikolai screamed in pain.
The brunette gasped and groaned in pain as all the evil Russian's power, memories and life drained into her hands.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!" Nikolai howled.
Disturbing images of young children, Kai, Tala, Boris, Voltaire, everything that had to do with BioVolt flooded into her mind, causing Hilary to cry out as well.
"Hold on Hilary! You can do it!" She heard Kai called over the commotion.
Her hands and body began to feel warm as her powers returned to her, along with Tala's and Kai's.
She forced her eyes open. Nikolai's face was a drab grey now, and his skin clung to his bones.
His cries became softer, and soon stopped.
Kai gave a loud sigh and collapsed to the ground, heaving for breath with an arm clutching his stomach.
Nikolai fell to the side, quivering slightly, and Hilary landed on her back.
She panted for breath as she sat up. Her eyes were wide from all the images that now resided in her mind.
"Atta girl Hil...." Kai smiled at her weakly and fell forward slightly, catching himself with his free arm.
"Kai! I thought you were dead!" She exclaimed, finding her voice. Tears began to roll down her cheeks once again as she crawled over to embrace her boyfriend.
"It's not over yet...." He whispered, looking over at the house.
Nikolai's machine, now visible from outside, sparked and began to glow.
"Oh no!" Hilary gasped.
"Move away! It's gonna blow!" Kai yelled.
The injured teens helped eachother off the ground and began to move as fast as they could away from the house, but the machine exploded, destroying the old mansion and sending them flying into the air.
Debris and rubble rained down after them and covered the whole estate.
Seconds later, sirens were heard and police cars quickly filled the lawn around the destroyed building
"My God!" Mr. Dickinson exclaimed as he saw the destruction.
The once beautiful Hiwatari Mansion was no more.
Everyone scurried out of their cars and surrounded the rubble.
"No! Kai!? Hilary!? Tala!? Are you out there!?" Tyson yelled out.
The Russian police began to examine the area immediately, along with paramedics.
"No...we're too late!" Mr. Dickinson's eyes were wide.
"Come on!" Rei motioned with his arm for the team to follow him as he ran out into the yard.
"One moment!" A police called out from behind, his voice carrying a thick accent. "You can't go near there yet! We have to make sure the area's clear!"
"But our friends are out there!" Max exclaimed on the verge of crying.
"You'll have to wait!" The Russian repeated.
Mr. Dickinson had to grab hold of the car for support. His knees had given out on him.
"No....It..it can't be!"
Tears had all formed in everyone's eyes as they waited on the side of the burning wreckage.
Suddenly, there was yelling and paramedics ran over, carrying a stretcher.
"Look!" Rei pointed and sniffed back his tears.
The BladeBreakers got a closer look at the figure on the stretcher as the paramedics carried it over to the ambulance.
"It's Tala!" Tyson gasped.
The paramedics were trying to stop the bleeding coming from his stomach as they hooked him up to a heart monitor and a respirator.
"Oh my God!" Max exclaimed as they pulled the knife out of him carefully.
Within moments, the paramedics filled into the ambulance and took off, leaving everyone staring with huge, frightened eyes.
Moments later, a dark figure stood up from under a pile of snow, with another figure draped around it's shoulder.
The BladeBreakers all gasped and began to rush over to the figures, despite the police yelling at them.
"Kai! Hilary!" They all yelled out with pure joy, tears flowing from their eyes.
Rei took Kai off the brunette and set him gently on the ground.
"Oh my God! We thought you were all dead!" Kenny exclaimed.
"Tala...." Kai muttered, coughing more blood up.
"They took him to the hospital." Rei said.
Suddenly, the Chinese blader was pushed forcefully away as a paramedic appeared next to the wounded captain. He asked him something in Russian, which Kai weakly replied before falling unconscious.
Another paramedic helped Hilary lay down on a stretcher and carried the two injured teens to the remaining ambulance.
"Don't worry! You'll be alright!" Tyson said, wiping tears away from his eyes.
Hilary barely heard his words as darkness consumed her.
"I'm going with them boys. I'll meet you all back at the hospital." Mr. Dickinson stated as he climbed into the vehicle. The doors closed behind him and ambulance drove off at full speed, sirens blaring.
Suddenly, Kenny screamed and fell backward onto the snow, startling everyone.
Tyson, Rei and Max all rushed over to see what was happening, and suddenly wished they hadn't.
Under a blanket of snow, an old, haggard face lay motionless. His crimson eyes were opened wide, and his mouth hung open as wide as humanly possible.
The teens jumped back at the starling face. It was Nikolai!
"Is......is he.....d....d....dead?" Max stuttered, his stomach feeling queasy.
"I'm not touching it!" Rei exclaimed.
Tyson turned away and motioned for the police.
Kenny sat in the snow, paralyzed and shaking horribly.
Soon, the authorities arrived and checked the body.
"Move away kids...." The Russian officer said, shooing them away as another officer checked for vital signs.
He shook his head sadly and motioned for someone.
"Come on....let's go to the hospital now...." Rei said, leading his friends to the squad car.
