Chapter 7: No more options
Disclaimer: I do not own. I never have. I... sorry, what are we talking about? ...Oh, the disclaimer! Okay... I don't own Beyblade. HAPPY?
And I'm using the traditional names in this chapter to see if it works better. You know, Kai, Tyson, Ray, Max, and Kenny. And I guess this will be after V Force, but I haven't seen all of it, so please forgive any mistakes.

"Ha! Told ya my plan was flawless!"
"Sure you did, SURE you did..."
"Actually, it was quite sloppy," the leader said coldly.
"Aw, it still worked, didn't it?"
"This time, Stuart, this time."
"Boss, Stu hasn't had that many failures, nothing compared to Jim."
"How dare you mention that name, Don!"
Don cringed. "Sorry, boss..."
"I had him eliminated, and if you're not careful, you will be too."
"Yes, sir, understood, sir."
"Sir," a voice called.
The leader glanced across the hideout at the approaching lady. "What is it?"
"She's starting to wake up, sir!"
"On my way," he replied coolly. The leader strode away.
~~~~
"Sora!"
"SORA, WHERE ARE YOU?!?"
"Sora, I'm sorry, alright?!?"
"Come on, Sora, this ain't funny!"
"We've looked EVERYWHERE," Tyson insisted.
Kenny collapsed onto the hard sidewalk. "The odds of Sora being walked away herself... I mean, percentage of... kidnapping maybe... probable, predictable..." He gave up.
"I think you need a rest, Chief," Ray said, giving him a hand to stand up.
Kai was about 10 metres away from the complaining boys, staring out at the sea, which was at the edge of the park. He gripped the rail so hard his knuckles went white. "Sora, where are you?"
~~Sora's POV~~
Ugh... I felt like someone tried to crush my head like a watermelon. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times. I looked around. I was in some sort of holding cell. Footsteps were coming my way. I lay back down quickly and closed my eyes, trying to keep my breathing even.
"So, what do we do with her?" I heard someone say.
"Hiwatari will come after her. Then... we get him."
I gulped. They were going after Kai... but why?
"What if... he doesn't?"
The other voice was colder than ice and just as solid. "He'd better. I've waited forever to settle the score. I won't wait any longer." It was an unspoken threat.
"Y-Yes, sir."
"Now, wake her!"
"Yes, sir." The cell door opened. A guy kicked me in the ribs. "Get up, now!"
I opened my eyes slowly.
The one behind him, the leader, I think, said, "Excellent. Now we may proceed with the REAL plan."
~~~~
Damn useless. That's how I felt right now. Just so bloody useless. I stared out at the trees surrounding my house as I sat on the back steps.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" I grabbed Dranzer and fired. The blue blade was caught by a hand.
"A little jumpy, are we? Have you been keeping up your training or what?"
"Ozuma! You... startled me, that's all." Of course, his inherited black hair lay mainly flat as his red bangs hung over his eyes.
"You haven't talked to us for a while."
"Us?" His team jumped in behind him. "Oh, right, the Saint Shields."
"Well, don't you want to know?"
"What?"
"You catch on pretty slow, don't you? The Saint Shields have always had sources. Don't you want to know where Sora is?"
"You guys know who Sora is...? Wait! Where is she?"
"Just follow me. You guys, get the others."
~~~~
"Tyson! You have a visitor, dawg!"
"Yeah, yeah, Grandpa!"
Tyson ran out to the front of his dojo-style one-floor house. "There's nobody here."
"Maybe you need glasses." Tyson glanced up at the roof of his entrance.
"Dunga?"
"Nice to see you too. Well, come on."
"Where're we going?"
"To find what's-her-name."
"Huh?"
"That girl."
"Sora?"
"Yep, that's the one."
"You know where she is?!?"
"Well, are you coming or not?"
~~~~
"Hey, boys!"
Both boys glanced up from the practice dish where they were preparing to launch. Kenny looked up from his laptop. "Mariam," Ray breathed.
"Joseph?"
"Hurry up!" Joseph insisted.
"Yeah, we're going to find Sora," Mariam added.
The three boys leapt up from their spots and followed wordlessly.

Ok, here, for those we have not seen the second season of Beyblade, known as V-Force, I think, here's the basics.
(*SPOILER ALERT*) Everyone's out for the Bladebreakers' bit-beasts. A while (I think, a month or two) after the World Championships in Russia, the four bladers (not Kenny, he witnesses it, though) each get challenged by a mysterious cloaked blader who uses a powerful force, which are later identified as invisible bit-beasts. Meanwhile, these scientists are collecting info on the Bladebreakers, kidnapping on them, spying on them, and everything to get their bit-beasts, of course. The cloaked bladers, a team known as the Saint Shields are clones of the White Tiger team (more in personality than appearance) and try to help the Bladebreakers overcome the scientists, led by Doctor B., who is working for a man named Gideon. I think that the Saint Shields also want their bit-beasts, but I'm not positive, please tell me if you know. The scientists have put together a blading team to bring down the Bladebreakers by any means possible, called Team Psykick. This team recruits people from the good side and turns them evil by giving them "cyber bit-beasts," which are basically computer clones of the Bladebreakers' bit-beasts. The power of these cyber copies overwhelms them. That's about all I know so far, please tell me if you have any more info.
(*END SPOILER ALERT*)
So, please review! Constructive feedback is appreciated. I don't like flames, they're evil, so if you have a negative comment to make, please be as nice as possible. Now, time for me to finish my homework, so I can kick back, relax, and enjoy the weekend!
