Chapter four.
Kai was standing I the middle of the long corridor, with countless metal doors on both sides of it. His first thought was that he was in the Abbey, but the walls were shining white, not stone.
Where am I?? I never seen this place before……
The corridor was quiet, save for a faraway noise, that sounded like a beyblade battle a couple floors below.
Kai felt he had something under his arm. The boy looked down, and saw that he was holding the one thing he hated more then Tyson, and almost as much as he loathed Boris and Volatire, and that hated him back just as much.
Dizzy. That annoyingly unfunny laptop, who always made comments on everything he did, always disagreed with him, always thought everything was her business. She was Kenny's bit beast, and due to some accident was trapped in a laptop.
Why am I holding that stupid computer?
Kai knew there was no way in hell Dizzy would even let him hold her. Not that he would ever want to.
Suddenly the vision changed. He saw a girl with white skin, brown eyes and black hair, shouting something to her bitbeast. She looked like she was extremly tiered and was loosing.
"Any more brilliant plans?" he heard the familiar voice shout to her, and Rei, his former team mate from BladeBreakers, ran into the view, gasping.
Who is the girl??? What is Rei doing here??
It seemed like the all of the BladeBreakers, excluding Kenny were there. So were the Majestics, every one of them, but Oliver. All of the kids were fighting someone. Fighting for their lives, by the looks of it. The girl lifted up her head and said in a weak voice, using up her last strength.
"It all depends on Kai now. We are cut off, until he succeeds. Natasha did what she could. The doors won't open until Kai …….ah…..we won't survive if the doors won't open…. Ah.." Her body fell lifelessly on the blue, tiled floor.
What does she mean? What am I suppose to do??? How can I save them? How can I help her!!!!!!
Kai was back in the corridor.
"Move!!!!!" Dizzy yelled.
"What are you asleep?!?1 They will all die soon! Move!!!!"
As Kai started to ran, he heard a loud boom, somewhere above.
"No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Dizzy, her voice sending a terrible shiver through Kai, for it was filled with pure terror.
Kai would up in shock and started to gasp, cold sweat running down his back. He was in his room, in the Abbey. It had all been a dream, he realized with relieve. A terrible nightmare.
The next second Kai wasn't so sure, because the terrible boom repeated somewhere just above his head.
"Wake up!!!!" said an annoyingly familiar voice, and Kai realized the whole thing was a dream after all.
"Wake up!!!"
Kai yawned and put a pillow on his head to block the sound.
"Fuck you, Bryan!"
It seemed as thought Brian was in the room next to Kai's and was banging on the wall. The lavender-haired teen heard Kai's last remark, and decided not to make a secret of it .
"Poshel te k chertu (1), Kai. You are almost late."
Kai looked at the electric clock on the table. It was 5:50 AM.
"What the hell???" he said as he quickly stood up, trying not to trip over his stuff.
Bryan heard that remark too.
"Yuri remembered that you alarm wasn't working, so he send me to wake you up."
By the sound of his voice, Brian didn't like the idea of being Kai's alarm clock much, but did not dare to disagree with the team captain.
Bryan banged the wall again.
"I'm awake, for god's sake!!!" said Kai, very annoyed. He listened for a second, then heard Brian leaving.
Nakonezto…….(2)
Since had only ten minutes to take a shower and get dressed, he better hurry up, Kai decided. The boy went into the bathroom, but only then remembered that he threw his toothbrush somewhere. Kai returned into the room, and started looking for it, but slid on his sweater and fell on the floor.
"Oh, chert………..(3)"
It took Kai about five minutes to find the cursed toothbrush. After that he only had time for a quick shower, and then got dressed his pants and top. The rest of the clothing was pulled on while he was running to the kitchen. Making Boris upset was not on his list of things to do for today.
In the kitchen Bryan, Ivan, Sergei and Yuri were already sitting at the metal table and eating their porridge. Kai took a plate for himself and sat next to Yuri. The red-haired boy decided to start the conversation.
"Sorry about your alarm clock. I will get you a new one tonight. But for today you had your own, personal one." he laughed. Bryan was sitting at the other side of the table, but it seemed that he heard it, because the lavender-haired blader shot a deadly glance at Yuri after those words were said.
Kai started to stir porridge with his metal spoon. The boy wasn't really hungry, but knew that there won't be many opportunities to eat in this place. So he sighed and ate a spoonful. To his surprise the porridge wasn't that bad. The taste had little difference with the usual porridge Kai sometimes ate for breakfast.
Most of the boys were already done with their food. Ivan was the first one, and he stood up and left the plate on a special cabinet for Abbey servants to pick up.
The Demolition Boys were very quiet this morning. They would sometimes say something to each other, but no one but Yuri said anything to Kai. The boys would just look at him from time to time, but it didn't make Kai feel unwelcome. He was used to having people ignore him and stare at him angrily.
Kai was done with his breakfast in five minutes, just when Boris cam into the room. He had a very strong effect on the boys- they sat up strait, stopped any talking that was going on, and were all ears at once. Boris enjoyed the effect he caused on the boys, so he just stood in the doorway for a second, watching them. He knew that deep inside they were scared. None of them ever knew what to expect from Boris. He gave them a deadly glance, knowing the fear he had sent through their soul .Then the man cleared his throat.
"S dobrim ytrom, malchiki! (4)!" he said, trying to look nice. Not like that was possible- Boris always looked dangerous and evil.
"There have been a new gang of bladers in Moscow. They challenge everyone they find, and hardly ever loose. Those boys talk about becoming an official Russian team! Well, to do that, they have to beat you. So I want you to go into the city today, and show then who is the boss."
The boys seemed to be cheered up by this proposition. Yuri thought for a second and then raised his hand.
"Yes, Yuri?"
"Who is going to go?"
Boris scanned the boys in front of him, but just for the show. He already knew who was going and who was not.
"Yuri, Bryan and Kai."
Kai raised his perfect eyebrow in surprise. Boris noticed that, and added, "I hope Bryan and Yuri will keep a good eye on our little Kai…" he glared at Kai, warning him not to do anything stupid, and then left.
Sergei and Ivan looked at each other.
"Suppose we better go training then," said Ivan, who looked upset that he wasn't going.
"Razvlekaites, poka mojete! (5)" yelled Sergei, as he and Ivan left for the practice rooms.
Bryan looked out of the window.
"I guess we have to go and get ready, don't we?"
Kai wondered what the hell did Bryan mean, when he said that they have to get ready, but both he and Yuri had left for their room, so he had no one to ask.
The boy went to a window and looked out of it. It was late May, and every tree in Moscow was covered in bright green leaves. The Moscow was beautiful at this time of year. Of course, Moscow was most magnificent in the winter, with shining snow covering every street and house like a blanket.
The sun just rose from the horizon, and now was making it's way to the top of the sky. Golden roofs of Moscow's churches where sparkling in the light, so bright , that it blinded Kai for a second. The city seemed so quiet and peaceful now. But the blue-haired teen knew it was only for a half and hour or so- soon the citizens would wake up and hurry to their work. But for now, the city was mostly silent.
Kai's crimson eyes admired the tall apartment buildings in the distance, and small, century-old structures that used to be occupied by Moscow elite, and housed mostly offices now. The boy loved the city. He had seen America, Japan and many other places, but nothing could replace Russia's capital.
Probably because I was raised here. In this beautiful city. I guess nothing can replace your home. And I do have a home………this city……
He leaned against the window. There seemed to be a crack it in, because he felt the stream of morning air on his skin.
Someone entered the kitchen. Then another person. Kai tore his gaze away from the city, and looked at Yuri and Bryan.
Blue-haired blader now understood what Bryan meant by "getting ready".
Both boys changed from their usual outfit, and were wearing simple T-shirt and baggy pants. In this outfit, Bryan looked much younger that usual, and closer to his actual age. Kai raised his eyebrow questionably.
"What?", said Yuri, "It's winter for six month, but in the summer it's gotta be hot in this goddamn city!!! I would melt in my normal cloths!"
The statement did make sense, but Kai didn't find anything to say to him. After a few moments of silence, Bryan started for the door. Yuri sighed and followed him.
"What a bastard," he murmured, so only Kai could hear him, "he always acts like he is the team captain, not me…"

Author's Note:
Well, sorry for another rather pointless chapter. I won't be updating for a while after this one, because I am moving to Moscow, and It will take ages to settle down and get an Internet connection. L
But I might write one more chapter before I leave. Promised butt-kicking (!).
I am also entering a new character after the next chapter. That character is totaly my own, and I am working hard on creating it. (won't tell who it is yet!!!!!!)
I did gave some hints on who the character is so far. Have fun guessing!!!
Anyway, I am going to stick with Bryan being Bryan. I already wrote two many chapters, and changing his name to Boris will just confuse me. (It is an ugly name anyway!)
Oh, almost forgot. Russian translations.
(1)- Poshel te k chertu- Go to hell
(2)- Nakonezto- finally
(3)- Oh, chert………..- Oh, shit……….
(4)- S dobrim ytrom, malchiki!- Good morning, boys!
(5)- Razvlekaites, poka mojete!- Have fun, while you can!
