Bring on the reviews! I've passed the 1000 mark! One of my dreams came true! Thank you thank you thank you! You're all fantastic!
No, you can't win with Kai! I don't know if the sedating would be allowed, but since he struggled so much, maybe it would have been allowed, he was hurting the guards! I know he was outnumbered, but he gave as good as he got! It is Kai's decision, but will the bladebreakers see it that way before it's too late? And long reviews rock!
This into a movie? Wow! Though I don't know about the rape implications! I know it's only mentioned, but it would make the age rating for the movie fairly high! It is a nice thought though.............
Socks are evil spawns of Satan! It's good the poem worked for you, though I wont ask why, that's just too damn personal! Your not an idiot! Kai is used to drugs and shit, but it was a strong sedative. You don't embarrass yourself, don't worry!
Whoa! I'll update! I don't want to kill anyone! I'm glad you like the fusion!
Yup, in a few more chapters, you will be in the story! Ill tell you just before so you can be prepared, though I need some details on how you look! And what sort of style you have! I miss talking to you too, though the morning chats have been brief and fun! Well done with your poems!
It is a little ironic that after all of that he was beaten by a sock, but then I guess it shows that it can be the little things that get you! I know you cant help feeling that way about his friends, and that's good! It shows me I've done a convincing story!
Wahoo! Linkin Park! You really think it was like In the end? Thanks! I don't know if Kai will ever trust his friends again, it would be a tough one to get over! They were the last people Kai expected to betray him too. He is desperate, and Ray got in the way! I've started reading your story, and I'll review it when I can, I like! I try and read the stories people ask me too, it's only fair!
I still cant agree that the death sentence is acceptable, some people deserve death, true, but then that makes us the same as them, plus, when their dead, that's it, the punishments over! Too me, id rather have death then be locked away for the rest of my life! So death is an escape. It's also irreversible, if you sentence the wrong person to death (and it has happened) then you cant give them back their life. It's not acceptable the way people treat animals, and they disgust me. Animals deserve much better respect then they get. I'm doing an animal course at uni, and I see some harsh things on videos and stuff, so I understand how you feel. Pain is not worthless. I think people hate pain because they don't understand it's your body's way of telling you there's something wrong. Your body has ways with numbing the pain too, and if the dog was in that much pain then putting it down was probably the best thing for it. Jail isn't all roses and lilies, it is a place of punishment, and if they are in prison then other things wont get hurt. Life is important, but it is a dog eat dog world, humans just take it to the extreme.
Happy birthday! Congrats for making it to 18!
They can do it without Kai's permission, he's a minor! So he has little rights in what they do.
It's good I can stir emotions in you like that with the story! Wow! They made a decision, and like others, it was a mistake. It's how the try and fix it that counts!
Kai may get away; he may not...........keep reading!
I sort of did mean it to be a cliffie; I like to see you all suffer!
I couldn't let Kai die!!!!!!!
Hey! Someone agrees with my death sentence opinion! Rock on! What Tadashi said is true in this story, Kai can be lost to the bitbeasts, there will be more reference to it later. And yeah, Kai is perfect!
You two are nuts! In a good way! You always make me laugh! There will be the rest of the Demolition boys coming in the sequel too, and some more new characters!
Read on!
Tadashi couldn't move, she just sat there on the padded seat, staring into nothing. She didn't think it was going to go like that, all the fighting, all the pain. She felt as though her body had gone into shock, had numbed. Why hadn't they told her they were going to do that? Couldn't they have just not told him and maybe gotten him to the lab without him knowing? She buried her face in her hands, they hadn't told her because they knew she didn't agree to their reasons. Now, instead of losing Kai to the bitbeasts, she would just lose him, completely! What if he hated them now? He probably did. She let go of her face to hold on the necklace Kai had given her, her fingers stroking a draconian wing. She looked up and around her for the first time since she had been the one to find Kai first.
She had found him laying at the bottom of the stairs, a sizeable lump on his head, and him choking on his own blood in his unconscious state. She had run her hand down his back, feeling each vertebra to check for damage. Finding none that she could feel, even though she knew there could still be some, she had turned him into a position so that the blood would run out of his mouth instead of down his throat. He started to breathe easier.
Then the paramedics arrived. It turned out they were kept in an adjoining room to the courtroom to take Kai to the lab under his sedated state. They swept her out the way and crowded around the unconscious teen. She walked back to the others who where now in the small room they had been in at the trials break. Ray sat leaning forward, being tended too by another paramedic. Sitting shirtless, Tadashi could see the considerable bruise Kai had left the raven haired teen with. She figured he deserved it, he challenged Kai after all. She sat on the padded seat she was still on and blanked everything.
Ray gritted his teeth as the paramedic tended to his bruise. He had struggled to breathe when Kai had first hit him, at least now it was easier. The man sat back on his knees and looked Ray in the face.
"Well, it appears to be nothing more then severe bruising, though the sternum may be bruised also. There's not a lot I can do for it I'm afraid, except give you painkillers and tell you to take it easy."
Ray nodded. This was the third time he had been hurt because of Kai. Yet each time wasn't Kai's fault. This time, he had cornered Kai. He would have been better off cornering a rabid bear. He may have won the fight then. He shrugged his shirt back on after the paramedic put a patch over some cream he placed on Ray's bruise. Ray sighed at the tight pain that spread across his chest, why him?
The others sat around, waiting to be escorted to the lab along with Kai. The guards that bore the wounds Kai inflicted in his desperate moment were placed in other rooms, the scratches and bruises being tended to by other members of the first aid department.
They all stood when Mr. Dickinson entered the room, his face seemingly tired.
"They are ready to take us to the lab; Kai and Voltaire are already on their way."
Everyone nodded and followed the balding, stout man out the door to the minibus waiting outside. Tadashi paused before getting on the bus, taking a moment to look at the building that had been Kai's downfall. Shadowed the way it was by the dark, ominous clouds, it no longer held the regal charm of justice. To her, it was bleak, dark. She shuddered as the wind picked up a chill and stepped onto the bus, avoiding to even look at where Kai usually sat. Would he ever forgive them?
The journey seemed long, only fifteen minutes, but seemingly ten times that. No one spoke, they hardly breathed loud. The silence was oppressive. Soon the lab building loomed up at them. It was a modern affair, a separate wing of the hospital which stood on the other side of the road. This was the building samples were taking to for analysis, where drugs were made, experiments done. Suddenly it seemed that maybe Kai was more a lab rat.
They exited the bus and followed Mr. Dickinson inside.
Kai lay on a table, a drip in his arm to make sure he was receiving fluids whilst under the sedatives affect. He still hadn't woke from the sedative, and even though Samantha wasn't allowed in there with him, she was worried.
She went back to the seats they had been allocated.
"He should have at least shown some signs of waking up, but he just lays there! Maybe it was too strong. Why wont they check on him!" she turned into the embrace of Tyson's dad as he held his arms out to her.
She had a point, yet what could they do?
Kai kept his eyes closed and his heartbeat as steady as he could. He still couldn't move his limbs, they were too heavy and numb for him to try without someone noticing. All he could do was occasionally try and gently flex a muscle. So far, it wasn't going well. Until he could move effectively, then all he could do was wait.
Voltaire smiled as he supervised the work that was building the machine he had used to fuse his grandson to the bitbeasts. It had been a glorious, if short, victorious moment when Kai had emerged part beast. Now he had to undo the work before he could know its full potential.
But that wasn't his plan.
He knew Kai would succumb to the bitbeasts, it was inevitable, it was what he was counting on. His original plan had been to fuse Kai to the bitbeasts, keep Kai imprisoned until he was taken over by the force of the bitbeasts, then train him to become the weapon he desired. The glorious beast of fire and shadow under his control!
The machine they were building would not reverse the fusion, merely make it dormant. The bitbeasts were currently spread between being joined to Kai, and being joined to beyblades, both the blades recovered from Kai's unconscious person at Voltaire's instruction. The beasts were weakened as they were, spread too thinly. Being dormant, they would reside mostly in the beyblades as before, but slowly, oh so slowly, they would re-enter Kai till they controlled him! Voltaire knew Boris was waiting to get back Kai, to hold him till the fusion was complete. These people were so ignorant! Kai could never be separated from the bitbeasts now, not unless he drove them out himself. Voltaire knew he was an old man, but he would see the dawn of the new era he was carving. He even had Leon to take over and rule in his place. Everything was perfect. The only problem would be if Kai wasn't strong enough, but he would deal with that death easily, as bitbeasts could take the hosts body. In fact, it would speed up the whole process for him! It took a great deal of effort not to rub his hands together in a self satisfied way, a lot of effort.
The group waiting outside Kai's room jumped to their feet when a smaller group in white coats appeared.
"Are you here to check Kai?" asked Samantha.
The lead white coat, a stern looking man with lines decorating his forehead looked at her and frowned, deepening the lines.
"We are here to collect him, it's time!"
The team went into a silenced hush. Tadashi couldn't take this, she couldn't loose Kai!
"You will not take him anywhere!" she said, her voice barely raised, but icy cold, hard as stone.
The white coats stopped and stared at her.
"What are you talking about child? This needs to be done." Replied a woman whose glasses where precariously perched on the end of her nose, her hair drawn back into a greying bun.
Tadashi moved between them and the door, wishing she had brought her whips.
"You will kill him if you do this, you must not! You meddle with things you have no understanding of, all of you!" she directed the last with a look at Kai's team mates.
"Tad? What are you talking about?" asked Ray, decidedly confused now. Tadashi had agreed to remove the bitbeasts, what was she talking about?
Tadashi flattened herself against the door and bared her fangs at the approaching white coats.
"All you need to know is that he will die!" she hissed.
"Young lady, I will ask you to move only once before I take action, now move aside!" as he said those words he went to brush her away with his hand.
Tadashi reacted on instinct. She bit the hand that brushed her shoulder, sinking her fangs deep. The man pulled back with a yell. She licked the blood off the pointed teeth as she glared at the others, daring them to try the same. They did something else instead. They all surged forward, throwing Tadashi off. She wasn't trained for multiple targets without her whips. Something scratched at her skin and she instantly felt weak. Falling to her knees seemed like all her body wanted to do, her arms felt leaden. Phagus couldn't understand it, and thrashed at the feeling shared between the connection. Tadashi wanted to sleep, but Kai...............
"What did you do to her!?" screamed Samantha.
"She will be fine, it's just a sedative, like Kai's." replied the man as he picked up the girl who had bitten him and handing her over to the tall man that shared some resemblance to one of the teenagers.
"Don't worry" he said quickly, silencing another reply from the fiery red head, "she will wake up soon, it's fast to exit the system, though she may feel woozy for a little while."
"You cant just do that to people you know!" said Hilary, her hands on her hips as she leant forward to give them a piece of her mind.
"Really?" replied the man, lifting his wounded hand, "she's lucky I don't decide to report her, then you would have another court case on your hands. Now let us do our job!"
Hilary was left standing with her mouth opening and closing silently.
"Sit down Hil and stop playing a fish!" snapped Mariah, who was feeling pretty stressed at all the tension. She had only come to stay so she could be with Ray, and it worried her sick that he always seemed to get hurt, all because of Kai. She didn't hate Kai, she felt sorry for him, she just wished Ray would stop getting into the middle of it.
Hilary sat as instructed, her mouth now working with quiet splutters. Tadashi had been sat on her chair, leaning against an uncomfortable Max, who was irritated that he could do nothing to lighten this moment, could say nothing to help anyone.
Kai had heard everything that had happened outside. A new fear had wormed it's way into a solid knot in his gut. Tadashi had said he would die if this happened, and he couldn't stop it. He tried to move his arm more physically, and was met with a numb resistance. He felt sorry for Tad when he heard what had been done to her in the corridor, he could relate! But he quenched the feeling down, just because she was defending him, didn't take away the betrayal she had been part of. He could never forgive them for this!
He opened his eyes and glared as the people part of this little experiment entered the room.
"So your awake! Good! Voltaire hoped it would be so, for the reversal, how are you feeling?" asked a seemingly aging man, though Kai could still see the build of the guy hadn't gone to seed just yet.
"Bite me" Kai croaked at them. His mouth felt so sore to move, it was all he could do.
"Good, you seem to be fine, though you seem to be unable to move much. We will fix that in a bit, now off we go!"
Kai couldn't help but growl at the patronising way they talked to him. They did something to the bed he was on and they started to wheel him out of the room. He hated being unable to move, unable to do anything. He was wheeled past the others, and Kai made a distinct point not to look at any of them. Why did they have to do this? Why did it burn his heart so much? He focused an angry glare at the white coated people around him to stop him wanting to look at his old team mates. He had learned his lesson, he would never be part of a team again.
They continued to wheel him through corridors, finally going between two parted swing doors. Kai almost choked on air when he saw the tube that he had seen before in the middle of the room. It was what he had been put into before, what had fused him with his bitbeasts. They wheeled him right up to it.
Since he couldn't move, they had no problems injecting him with something that seemed to reverse the effects of the sedative. His limbs felt instantly lighter. He didn't have much time to reflect on it though, as they removed his drip quickly and pulled him off the bed and into the tube. He was surprised to still be clothed in what he had worn at the trial, even if it was now torn. He hit the back of the tube and turned on shaking legs to see the tube door already closed.
He leant against the see through tube wall and pounded it with his fists. They couldn't do this. He watched as Voltaire placed his beyblades into a small control panel. His beyblades! They had taken his blades! He ran his hands along the smooth tube walls, finding no crack to help him escape. The tube started filling with mist, but instead of silvery grey, it was now greenish. He yelled at someone to open the tube. The mist reached his head.
He could not let them take the phoenixes, he could not die!
Broken
What do you do when a part of you dies? How can you smile after so many failed tries?
You punished me and I took it
Made to feel the burden was my shame
Nothing you did was ever wrong
I was the only one to blame
For me the sun never set
Instead each dusk it would die
The moon became my companion
In your world built on a lie
Why did I believe your stories?
You were so good at faking trust
The tales you wove were thin
In my hands they turned to dust
You left me bleeding on the floor
Tainted red staining pure white
Yet you never raised a hand to me
Just watched as I lost the fight
It was my fault I never asked for help
I gave up, no longer wanting to stay
My skin would not stop burning
I wanted Anubis to lead the way
I held on just that bit longer
To see if my dreams were not in waste
Only to find them shattered
Nothing left to be chased
In anger I struck out
In fear I was almost slain
I lay your hand on my heart
Can't you feel its pain?
You pull away as though burned
As if the beats were your bane
But this isn't your curse
Care you no longer have to feign
You left only to betray me
As an empty husk I could only sigh
I lay here broken from your deceit
As there was nothing left to die
What do you do when there's nothing left to die? How can you live when your life is all a lie?
