Kai: Cover your eyebrows!
Evil Me: (douses Jim Carrey in fire). Wow, that made me feel... oddly better. I think I'll have a scone as a reward

Ch 2: Worried Heart
'Clear the way!' shouted the paramedic. Tyson looked up through bleary eyes as the men knelt down and gently lifted Kai onto the stretcher. 'He's breathing.irregular heart beat.irregular breathing. Unresponsive almost catatonic.'
Tyson looked from them to the prone Kai. 'What does that mean?' he asked. The medics looked at him.
'He's going to be fine if he gets to hospital.fast'
'Who called them?' Kenny asked. Max and Rei shrugged.
'I did' a voice cooed shrilly. 'Is Kai okay?' It was Lydia she looked at Kai with a worried frown. 'I saw him collapse and called the medics. What did that woman do to him?'
'The girl with the bullwhip stole his bit-beast' Max said as he picked up the Beyblade carefully. 'She just took it right from the blade'
'That's what Dryduzella does' Dizzi explained. 'She's the tamer of bit- beasts a gatherer she is very powerful. A real snake in the grass.no pun intended.'
'Yes it was' Kenny said.
'Wow what a cool laptop' Lydia said. 'And it has a nice voice too! Hey Dryduzella I know her. She's one of the bit-beasts that was on the Greek team!'
She tapped on the palm pilot with the digital pen. She showed the picture of the snake-tailed woman to them. 'She's the spirit of the Gorgon. But she hasn't been seen since Ancient times when they played Beyblades like an Olympic sport'.
'Dizzi what did you get on the girl?' Max asked.
'Well Ms Medusa is pretty famous. There has been a long line of infamous "Bit Nappings" by her. But it's not the same woman, though there are likenesses.'
'Why isn't it?' Rei asked.
'Coz if it was she'd be over 2000 years old' the console replied. 'Ms Medusa is referred to in a lot of Urban Blading-Myths. She's supposedly stolen over 1000 bit-beasts though these reports are never followed through in most cases because she can't be caught and the evidence always evaporates'
'Well in the history of Blading Ms Medusa is famous for using her whip to launch her blades. She is also the "Mistress of Illusion" and is known for tricking her foes. And distracting them with her feminine wiles, she's also a huntress who studies her pray. I saw the match she knew that Kai would attack and after a while unleash Dranzar.'
Lydia gave a snort as she tapped at her pad. 'Well she knows what she's talking about, but Dranzar and the other bit beasts have free will' Dizzi said. 'They can come out when they feel like it.hey where's Tyson?'
'In the ambulance' Max said. 'He's going with them in case Kai wakes up, so he has someone familiar around.'
'We'd better go after them' Rei said. 'We want to hear what's happening with Kai.now how do we get there?'
'I can get us a Taxi quick' said Lydia. She tugged Kenny and Rei along after her with Max straggling behind them. 'My cousin owns a Taxi depot.HEY JOEY!' The mini-van pulled up.
'Hey Lydia' the young man behind the wheel said. 'Going home sugar?'
'Aww shooks Joey. Nah, call cuz and tell him I'm taking some friends to the hospital to check on their pal'. She laughed and snorted as she did. Rei gave a shiver of invisible proportions. Lydia got them all in and Joey headed for the hospital.
===
Tyson sat by Kai's bed. The paint was cleaned off his face, he was pale and silent and so cold it was scary. So still he looked dead and that scared Tyson more then anything.
'He's a friend you don't want him to die naturally' he told himself with fervour. 'It's nothing more then friendship. Besides you're not.and he's not.well maybe he is.maybe you are but if you are then he can't be because you're so different. Great lost in my own logic. If he swings that way then you can't because you've gone with girls.not much.nothing heavy.but you have. And he hasn't so he's saving himself for the girl.or maybe he is and you're just tricking yourself into believing you are.oh great I'm confused again.'
'Tyson?' Kenny stood in the door. 'Lydia's finding his doctor' he added. 'Max is getting something from the vending machines and Rei is pacing around outside.is it okay if we come in?'
'Of course it is' Tyson croaked. 'Kai wouldn't like it but the team should be around .and Lydia too. if she hadn't called the medics something bad might have happened .we owe her one'
'You don't' Lydia said with a small snort and then her horse-like laugh. 'I'm a huge fan of your team. I used to blade way back when you guys were still just the team making a stir.'
'Do you still blade?' Tyson asked.
'I wasn't much good' Lydia said. 'I used to be in a gang, like the teams Chief. I did the little technical thing. You know.nothing that impressive. Not like Dizzi and Kenny though.' She walked over to Kai. 'The doctors on his way I dragged him away from the nurse he was flirting with.'
'Thanks Lydia' Kenny said. Rei entered with Max arguing about which packet of food Tyson would want. 'But he'll eat anything' remarked Rei. 'You know that'
'Good point' nodded Max. He put the food in Tyson's lap. 'Eat' he insisted. 'Dad and gramps are coming by later.'
'Excuse me?' the Doctor said as he entered. 'I'm Doctor Green. Kai's doctor. firstly I'm a huge fan. Secondly.does he have any relatives I should notify?'
Tyson shot to his feet, the food cascading to the floor. 'Is it that serious?'
'No it's protocol' said the doctor. 'Now.the family?'
'No he's an orphan' Tyson said. 'What's wrong with him?' He gazed intensely at the doctor who breathed out a sigh and relented.
'Your friend is in a state of shock, induced by trauma to his psyche, a neurologist was looking over it and it seems he suffered deep emotional strain that triggered his mind to shut down into a comatose state.'
'So how do we get him to come back to the land of the living?' asked Tyson.
'We can't do anything.we just have to let him do it himself'
Max looked at the elder member of the team. 'Are you sure he's going to be all right? Is there any risk of something happening?'
'He just needs to come too on his own' the Doctor said.
Lydia looked at the people in the room. 'I'll step outside' she said in her nasal voice. 'You guys should talk to him, he might here you.I heard people in Coma's can hear things around them.'
'True' the doctor said. 'I have to make a few calls to other patients but I'll see what I can learn about his case later. Maybe some developments'
When the doctor was gone Tyson brushed Kai's fringe out of his eyes. 'So.what's wrong Kai? Is it Dranzers theft by that Ms Medusa woman? Come on you can pull through. We know you can'. He heard Rei punch the wall and look around. The neiko-jin was clutching his fist and rubbing it gently.
'When I find that witch I'll teach her to mess with the Blade Breakers' he growled. 'Stealing bit beasts.that damned demon harpy of a.'
'Calm down' Max said calmly. He shoved his hair out of his face. 'Getting P.O'd doesn't work unless she's here.' he walked over and examined the red knuckles on Rei's hand. 'Yeah that was not a clever thing to do'. Rei snarled and was about to tell Max off for his cocky tone when Lydia appeared in the door, breathless and excited.
'Ms Medusa is here! I saw her in the hall a few seconds ago' she gasped. 'Hurry you can still catch her! I'll go and call the police! She's got some questions to answer!'
Lydia was down the hall in a second. Max, Rei and Tyson darted after her. She pointed them down the hall and headed towards the phones at the corner. Max and Tyson were ahead, Rei was darting along, catching up and bypassing them swiftly. The white clad shape stood out, the red-brown hair shimmering under the cold lights.
'There' Rei shouted as they followed the shape towards the elevators. She cast a glance over her shoulder, her strangely purple-flecked green eyes caught them and she gave a smile as she stepped backwards into the elevator and the doors shut on her. Tyson slammed into the doors, cursing as he slapped his palm off them.
'Tyson the stairs!' max shouted as he shoved open the stairwell, Rei leapt the stairs faster then the others looking through the windowed doors on each level to see if the woman in white had walked from the elevator on another floor. Tyson and Max followed behind; Tyson was pacing himself, his eyes blazing in anger.
They reached the basement car park. Medusa strode from the elevator with a cool smile on her lips. The trio rushed after her and Tyson reached her first, grabbing her shoulder as he caught her. The elbow connected with his ribs and the foot with his stomach as Medusa shoved him back without looking. 'Come and get me' she laughed as she ran for the exit and leapt onto the back of a car. She vaulted over the gaps between each car running across the seats of a convertible. Rei followed her route as Max and Tyson sprinted the pedestrian path.
Medusa rushed into the dark gardens of the hospital. 'Get back here' Tyson shouted; he clutched his sore ribs and stomach as he ran after her. She was dressed in a full body suit of cream leather with gold studs on the belt and neck belt. Her sharply heeled boots apparently didn't affect her sprinting speed. Her hair was covering one eye as she stopped at a cast- iron fence and allowed them to catch her.
'You're caught' Tyson breathed clutching a stitch in his side. 'Give---up-- '
'So short sighted' Ms Medusa sighed. 'Cute but.short sighted.' And with that she vaulted backwards, caught the top of the fence and balanced on it. 'Follow the leader anyone?' She dropped down on the other side and blew a kiss to the boys as she raced away.
Rei was over the fence faster then Max or Tyson could blink. He raced after her fading into the night beyond.
===Rei's solo===
His fist was hurting as he pounded after the girl into the area behind the hospital. She leapt the colourful fence to the children's area. Rei followed but before he could land the whip coiled around his neck and dragged him to the ground. Ms Medusa stood at the other side of an Arena. 'Hey kitty cat' she purred.
'You have no idea who you're dealing with' he grunted. He struck a fighting pose and allowed his eyes to narrow into slits. Her laugh was mocking, not the desired affect.
'A tiger doesn't scare me, it hunts only the weak.like you.but I hunt.everything' she purred in a serenely dark whisper that sent a shiver to Rei's spine. Her eyes met his and he gasped as he realized what lay within them. 'Here's my proposal, defeat me in this arena.and I will return Dranzer.'
Rei pulled his blade from his belt pouch. 'Challenge accepted!' Ms Medusa simply smiled.
=== Half an Hour later===
Max looked around the area. It was a children's play area with its own arena. It had taken him a good twenty minutes to search the rest of the grounds around where Rei and Ms Medusa had headed. And now he was completely at a loss as to where else Rei could be. He sniffed; the smell of burnt stone was poignant in the air. He looked around. 'Rei?'
The groan came from the arena. Max ran over. 'Rei? Rei!' he exclaimed as he kneeled down beside his friend. 'Tyson! Kenny! I found him!' Kenny and Tyson rushed from around the corner and looked at Rei lying curled up and shaking in the Arena. 'Driger' he murmured. 'She took him.'
'Oh no' whispered Tyson. She was picking them off one by one, dividing and conquering them one at a time. 'Take Rei upstairs.I'm going to see if there's any change in Kai's condition. And tell the police.'
'Its only been twenty-five minutes' muttered Max, as he and Kenny struggled to lift Rei up. Tyson either didn't here him or ignored him but he was gone.
=== Kai's Room===
The white leather gloved hands lifted the head of Tyson the Dragon and gently pressed him back into the chair. 'So cute' she said as she noted he was holding Kai's hand. 'Well Kai aren't we the lucky one.you have no idea how much this clears up about you. I won't lie.I'm disappointed. But you're happy and it's a good thing. But knowing you my little friend. you will go out of your way to bury the emotions. Don't.'
The 17-year-old girl sat up and tapped him on the forehead with the handle of her whip. 'Get with the program. It's better if you do it now. It was nice to see you again old friend'. She put the single white rose in his hands and leant the card on it. 'Have fun, because we'll be down to business soon'
The whisper of her leathers brushing against the material of the curtains that flowed out from the double doors onto the balcony outside. The hospital had given Kai the room the second they knew the name. Tyson blinked awake and spotted the open window that had allowed a night chill to wake him. Grudgingly freeing his hand he walked over hugging himself and slid it shut. And then he paused.he hadn't opened the window; he had been lying forwards.and where had the rose and card come from?
He looked at the card, cream with a red indented frame. On it was punched the words "Teredakov" in red. And on the back was scribbled. "Remember the Rose Garden". Who had left it?'

Evil Me: Come forth.ah hell! (Smoke rises and clears to reveal a boy band, they all look alike and sound alike so there you go, just pick one and you get the idea) Another one
Lead member of the "equal band": hey where's our screaming groupies?
Evil me: Well I can supply those all right.the screaming at least. (Points and in a flash a hoard of screaming goblins swarms from the pit of brimstone and devours the boy band) Screaming.group of goblins? Get it? And now the groupies really scream. (Snaps fingers and the goblins combust)
