Reunion

The rain poured in through the open door soaking the wooden floor. One might question as to why the door wasn't closed. One only had to look in the direction of Tala Ivanov to find their answer. Years of abbey training had taught him how to get his way and his way was to get inside where it was dry. The former Demolition Boy had removed the hinges from afore mentioned door and then kicked it in. Thus, the door lay flat on the ground where it had fallen.

"Was that absolutely necessary Tala?" Questioned Kai who watched as Rei began to rehinge the abused piece of wood. The fiery redhead shot his best friend a look that could have froze hell over.

"If you had just opened the door then no it wouldn't have been necessary." He snapped. Water dripped from his hair and down his face. He wasn't a happy wolf at the moment and if Kai chose to press the matter then there'd be more then a little problem.

"Hey c'mon you two, forget about it." Max called from the kitchen. It was supposed to be Tala's turn to do the cooking but it had been a long day and Max wanted something that actually tasted good. No matter how many things he'd been taught how to do at the abbey, cooking wasn't one of them. Last time he had cooked it had taken Kai about three bites into the meal before announcing that they were ordering out that night.

"Max is right, there's no damage to the door so everything's fine." Rei said as he knocked the second hinge back into place before backing away to admire his handiwork. Tala looked ready to protest but was cut off by the loud obnoxious ringing of the phone.

He walked towards the living room and had nearly reached the phone before he was bowled over by what could only be identified as hurricane Tyson. Tala glowered at the youth from the floor. Exactly what was it with this kid and being the first to answer the phone?

"Hey, Bladebreakers residence Tyson speaking." Said Tyson as he propped the phone between his shoulder and ear. A sideways glance would have shown a very annoyed Tala. He hated that everyone, including; Kai would call this the 'Bladebreakers' residence. He wasn't a Bladebreaker but then he was just chopped liver now wasn't he?

"Oh hey Mr.Dickenson. What's up?" Tyson asked. Everyone's attention was now on the phone call. It wasn't unusual for the head of the BBA to call them but it was still something that was paid attention to everytime. They focused even more as Tyson's face sobered up considerably and his brows knitted together indicating that something was indeed 'up'.

"Sure no problem, we'll be there soon." Tyson finally said. The blader hung the phone up and looked at the others. "Mr.D wants us to get to the airport. He's got a private jet waiting for us so that we don't have to wait or anything."

"I wonder why he wants to see us?" Max asked to no one in particular. The blonde had his hands behind his head and eyes on the ceiling as he contemplated the answer to his own question.

"I don't know but it sounded pretty important. Guess we'd better go." Tyson responded and Kai nodded firmly in agreeance.

"Tyson's right, everyone get to the car." He instructed. "We leave as soon as Max turns off the stove." That said the captain made for the garage door and car.

Several minutes later.

Kai sighed angrily as his so-called friends bickered over who would get front seat. Tyson was adamant on getting the spot but Tala and Rei didn't look like they were going to give him an easy time of it.

"C'mon! Tala you just got to sit there this morning when you and Kai went to do groceries." Tyson complained and Rei nodded in agreement.

"I don't care there's no way I'm sitting back there with two of you." He snapped angrily and turned to open the passenger door only to find Max sitting firmly in it. The redhead considered simply reaching in and throwing the boy out of the seat.

"Back seat Tala." Kai muttered eyes still facing the front though he wasn't able to fully hide the smirk that was gracing his lips at the murderous look Tala was alternating between himself and Max.

Tala huffed angrily before cursing out something Russian to which Kai gave him a baleful glare. "Back seat Ivanov, before I put you there myself." He warned. Tala took the hint and slid into the back seat. Joy, Rei and Tyson had already taken the window seats meaning he was stuck in the middle to boot. Oh, it was going to a long ride.

Twenty minutes! It had only been twenty minutes since he'd been forced into this…this hell on wheels! Tala had both eyes tightly closed and arms crossed firmly across his chest. He really was trying his best to ignore the singing antics of Tyson and Max. Slitting one eye open he looked at Rei who looked ready to murder. An ally in this battle perhaps? He couldn't see Kai's face but by the way those hands were gripping the steering wheel it was a miracle that he didn't tear the leather with his nails.

"Would you two stop?" Rei hissed. Bright amber eyes glittered dangerously, daring them to deny him his request. The two young bladers just looked over at him and offered 'nyah' as a response. Giggling childishly Max faced the front once more and resumed his singing.

"I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves and this is how it goes" The blond prepared to launch into the song once more but realized that his other half wasn't singing anymore. He turned around to see Rei leaning across Tala's lap and trying to grab Tyson who was crammed up against the window to avoid the neko-jinn's wrath.

Max squawked in anger and reach for one of Rei's arms pulling on it. "Hey, let go of him man."

"Him? What about me? I'm the one who's being molested here or maybe Rei's not aware of where his elbow is!" Tala hissed and Rei promptly blushed a dark shade of red. It was true though; Rei's limb was rubbing up against a very embarrassing area of Tala's body. The raven-haired blader attempted to cover up his embarrassment by insulting Tala.

"Yeah well if you'd stop trying to shove me off I wouldn't be thrown into compromising positions." He snapped. Tala sputtered before yelling out several Russian curses and trying to rip Rei's head off. The backseat became a war ground as Tala's temper snapped and he began laying into both Rei and Tyson at the same time.

SCREECH! Everyone nearly got up close and personal with the windshield as Kai slammed on the breaks. Red eyes glared forward as he seethed quietly. Everyone in the car feel silent and returned to proper seating positions. No good would come from striking Kai's ire. Especially not while he was behind the wheel.

Tala huffed and returned to his meditative position while everyone just calmed down and looked out their windows. Tala looked craned his neck to see out of the windshield and was glad to notice that they weren't far from the airport at all.

Kai pressed the gas pedal and commenced their movement once again. Nearly there.

Kai leaned against a wall as Max talked to one of the flight attendants about their flight. Rei was sprawled across several seats and looked like he was dozing. Tyson was busy trying to bug Tala and the redhead was dearly trying to keep his temper under control. No one could push his buttons faster then Tyson.

"Hey guys c'mon, I know where Mr.Dickenson has his plane. It just landed not ten minutes ago. Hurry up!" Max called. By the time everyone had registered what he'd said the energetic boy was a good twenty feet ahead of them.

"Hey Max! Wait up would ya?" Tyson chased after his friend as Tala, Rei and Kai followed at a more civilized pace.

They heard the roar of the engine long before they saw it. Their hair billowed about them as they got closer to the massive form of transportation.

"Makes me think that whatever Mr.Dickenson has to say to us must be really important. He didn't even turn his engines off on the plane." Rei yelled trying to make his voice heard over the roar. Only Tala, who was closest to him heard and he didn't bother to acknowledge the other.

They scrambled up the plane steps and all gave a quick sigh of relief as they finally stopped. Throwing off their coats they turned and looked into the passenger area and five pairs of eyes widened.

"Woah!" Max gasped and well over a dozen heads turned to look at him.

"Max!" Micheal cried as he ran over to him and slapped him on the back nearly knocking the other over. "Long time no see."

"Exactly what's going on here?" Kai demanded as he looked at all the others present. The White Tigers. The Majestics. The All Starz. Plus Tyson's father and grandfather along with Max's mother Judy and a flight attendant.

"It would seem that we have all been asked to see Mr.Dickenson." Came the curt reply from Robert. "However, this plane route has not been very efficient. I believe I was first to be picked up and then we flew to the border of Spain and France to pick up two of my teammates. Then to Scotland and to America. After that we went to China to pick up the White Tigers and now you from Japan."

"Sounds like you've been all over the place." Tyson laughed. "Got any idea as to where we're going?"

"Canada!" Mariah gushed. "That's where Mr.Dickenson is right now. Pretty cool huh?" She would have continued but Tala took this moment to sit down in the seat next to her. The pink-haired spitfire nearly jumped out of her seat. "Awk! What's he doing here?"

"Chill out Mariah, Tala's been living with us for the past few months." Max soothed. Mariah gave Tala a once-over before recomposing herself. The redhead, on his part was doing a good job of ignoring all the stares that were in his direction.

"Swinging himself into a seat Rei shrugged. "So, are we going straight to Canada?" Kevin grimaced in his direction.

"Nope, we've got one more stop and it's in Russia. Three guesses who we're picking up." He grumbled.

Groans emitted from all the Bladebreakers except for Kai who just shrugged and sat himself down next Robert. Tala's blue eyes gleamed with interest at the thought of reuniting with his former team appeared. Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad trip?

SR: Mmmmmmm, yeah. Boring I know but bear with me until I get the more exciting chapters up. I promise they're coming. Anyways, you can all go and review now. And what if you don't, you ask? I'll put in a car with Max, Tyson, Rei and Tala. First and final warning. Review! XD
