Chapter 8 : The Finals Begin
"Hey Max..." Tyson said as he entered the locker room.
The blond teen turned around, smiling at his friend.
"How are you doing?" Rei asked solemnly.
"I'm okay...I guess. My beyblade just got destroyed, but at least Draciel survived...." Max said sadly. He suddenly clenched his hands into fists. "I can't believe I let them take Draciel!"
"Don't worry about it Max! We'll get them back for what they did to you and Emily! They'll be sorry!" Tyson exclaimed.
"And we'll be sure to get Draciel back too!" Hilary added.
"Thanks. Don't let them take the championship or your bitbeasts away from you!" Max replied.
"Okay! We are now ready for the final round to begin! Now, if everyone will return to their seats, we'll be able to begin in just a few minutes!" The announcer exclaimed over the intercom.
"Alright!" Tyson exclaimed joyfully.
"Kick some butt guys!" Rei said.
"Okay!" Hilary smiled as they all left the room and entered the stadium.
"Alright boys...this shouldn't be too hard. The BladeBreakers only have one good blader now. If we beat him, this championship will be ours!" Boris said. He hand Draciel's bit chip in his hand. He would periodically flip it up into the air and catch it.
Everyone but Tala and Kai snickered. Tala was getting more and more worried about his friend. The serum that Boris had injected into him was wearing down, making Kai sick. Kai's memory could come back any moment. Tala wished it would, but he was scared of what Boris would do to his blue haired friend. He didn't want him to be hurt anymore.
"Get out there and destroy them!" Boris said, almost yelling. The Demolition Boys stood up and headed out to the stadium.
"Kai...you stay here." Boris said as Kai neared the door.
Tala turned and gave a worried glance to his friend. Kai shook his head and forced a smile before closing the door.
Kai stood straight as Boris rummaged through a bag.
"I can't risk you messing things up again." Boris said as he found the item he was looking for a stepped closer to the blue haired teen.
"Wh...what is that?" Kai asked unsteadily.
"I'm sure you aren't feeling well today young Kai. This will help take all the pain away." Boris smirked. He grabbed a hold of Kai's shoulder.
The teen struggled, trying to get away. He growled as he finally saw clearly what Boris was holding.
"No! Get that away from me!" Kai began to struggle more and more.
Boris grimaced with annoyance. Using his foot, he dragged Kai's foot out from under him and pinned him to the locker room floor. The older Russian climbed on top of the blue haired teen's back and secured his arms behind him.
"Oh Kai, you know how much I love it when you struggle." Boris smirked evilly as the boy continued to get out from under the older man.
"What have you done to me?! You erased my memory, didn't you!" Kai yelled.
Boris took out the item again. It was a large glass tube with a thick needle and the end. He took off the plastic cap on the needle and suddenly stuck it in the back of Kai's neck. The clear fluid immediately rushed into the teen's blood stream.
Kai gasped in pain. His body felt ice cold, and his mind went blank.
Boris chuckled as he got off the teen. He grabbed him by the back of his shirt and lifted him off the ground.
"Now get out there!" He exclaimed, pushing Kai toward the door.
Kai lifelessly opened the door and disappeared in the hallway.
The crowd cheered as Kai walked out into the stadium. Tala immediately jumped to his feet and watched Kai approach.
"Are you alright?" He asked softly.
Kai brushed past his friend and sat down without saying a word. Tala sighed and took a seat next to him.
"Alright! We are now ready to begin the final battle!" The announcer blared over the speakers as the crowd erupted in cheers.
Hilary stared at Kai from across the stadium. His gaze was focused on the floor.
"Oh Kai..." She muttered sadly to herself.
Suddenly, she felt an arm around her. She looked to her left to see Tyson smiling at her.
"Don't worry...we'll get him back. I'm sure of it."
Hilary returned the smile. "Thanks Tyson."
"First up, Tala from the Demolition Boys will be facing Tyson from the BladeBreakers!" The announcer exclaimed. "Just about 2 years ago, these same two bladers faced each other for the championship back in Russia! I wonder how much stronger these two have grown in that time! This will surely be a battle to remember!"
"Come on Tyson!" Rei and Max yelled from the audience.
"Remember Tyson, be careful! You saw how much stronger Spencer and Bryan have gotten, and Tala's one of the most powerful bladers in the world!" Kenny said as Tyson stood up.
"I've battled against him before, and I won't loose!" Tyson replied as he began to walk to the dish.
"Good luck Tyson!" Hilary called after him.
Tala watched as Tyson took his spot at the edge of the beyblading dish.
"Hello again. Long time no see!" Tyson said cheerfully, giving the Russian a smile.
The red head smiled back sadly. "I'm sorry Tyson, but whatever may happen, I won't be able to control it."
"Are you thinking you're gonna win?! We'll see about that!" Tyson said, aiming his launcher over the dish.
Tala sighed sadly and closed his eyes.
"Bladers ready? 3...2...1...LET IT RIP!"
