It had been a week since Korimi's arrival at the Abbey, and according to Boris he was making "progress" with her. She no longer glared at him with the same fire in her eyes as she did when she first arrived at the Abbey. She no longer fought Boris when he touched and kissed her. Her snide remarks were also counting for less and less each time she saw Tala beaten because of it. And her eyes didn't have the same rebellious spark in them as they used to, when you looked in them it was like looking into a pool of nothingness.
Tala walked towards the science labs, 'Why did Boris want to see me here?' He thought. 'Oh well, it's better than his office any day.'
"Aahh...Tala...It's about time you got here...follow me." Boris said, when Tala entered the lab. He led the redhead to the back of the main lab, where a single door stood. "We'll be in one of the private labs...there is something I would like to talk to you about." He opened the door and walked in with Tala following him.
The blader gasped at what he saw when he entered the room.
Korimi was floating completely clothed, in a tank filled with liquid and wired connected to her arms, legs, and head, she had a mask over her mouth and nose so she could breath.
"Korimi..." He whispered, before growling and glaring at Boris. "What the hell did you do to her?" He said in a dangerous voice, all thoughts about what Boris would do to him for speaking to him like that were pushed out of his mind.
Surprisingly, Boris began to chuckle. "You know of you sister's...unique...ability do you not?"
Tala glared, but he remembered Korimi telling him about her ability to burn those who went too far with her. "Yes what of it?"
"Well...I decided to...test...her powers to their full extent..."
Tala growled. "You-"
"As a result she practically almost killed herself in the process" Boris continued ignoring the redhead who was shaking in fury.
"How did she hurt herself? She's supposed to hurt whoever-"
Boris smirked. "Funny thing actually. Once she gave consent...with some persuatiion of course." He chuckled. "The thing that hurt her was her lack of love."
Tala growled.
"Now, now Tala, this not the time to be rash...after all, with a push of a button your sisters' life could end right before your eyes."
The redheads' eyes widened, as Boris smirked, hovering his index finger above a green button.
"However..." He continued, pulling his hand away from the button and walking over to the tank that held Korimi. "She is of more use to me alive than dead."
"Why's that?" Tala asked coldly.
"Because young Tala, this time next week you, and the Demolition Boys, as well as your sister will be battling against the Bladebreakers... to win me back the championship that you lost me!"
"But sir-"
"You will do it Tala...if you do...Koirmi will be free to leave the Abbey...that is of course if you win."
Tala stared at his sisters floating form. 'What other choice do I have? I mean he probably won't keep his promise but if I don't I know he'll do something to Koirmi, but if I battle and lose then he'll kill her...' Inwardly Tala snorted. 'Some choices.'
"Fine." He said.
Boris smirked. "Good. Now go back to the training room..."
The blader obeyed, and headed back to his teams training room.
"Go Driger! Tiger Claw!"
"Draciel Defense!"
Kai and Tyson watched as Max and Rei battled while Kenny and Dizzy analyzed their moves.
The Bladebreakers had been training harder than they ever trained before. There would be times that Kai would wake up in the middle of the night to find Rei gone. When he looked for him the neko-jin would be in the training room.
The match had ended, and Driger was the winner. "Ok that's all for today..." Kai said, tomorrow 7:00 am sharp, if you're even a minute late then training is extended an hour. Got it?"
The team nodded while Tyson complained under his breath, then left, with the exception of Rei, who still stood by the dish, clutching his blade.
Kai watched as his team disappeared and then turned his attention to the neko-jin.
"You're game was off today, it has been ever since that meeting with Boris...care to tell me what's bothering you?"
"It's nothing, really."
"Listen, if your game is off then something is wrong, and if your game is off then you are hurting the team."
"I know."
"Good...then I suggest you stop worrying about her and concentrate on your game." Kai turned to leave, but looked over his shoulder. "Oh and Catty's coming to see the battle, she'll be here the day before the match." With that, the phoenix left a half stunned Rei behind. His sister was coming?!
"What?!"
Tala had entered the training room, and had informed his team what he had heard and saw.
"When will Boris just get over it? We'll win it back next year." Ian said.
The redhead shrugged, "I don't care...as long as Korimi is ok I'll do whatever he wants."
"Isn't that going a little too far Tala?" Bryan said raising an eyebrow. "He'll use her against you."
Before Tala could answer Boris's voice rang through the room. "You are not going to win by standing around! Tala! Ian! Get ready to battle! Now!"
The 2 bladers looked at each other then took their places on either side of the dish.
'I have to win' Tala thought as Koirmi's unconscious form entered his mind. "Wolborg!"
"Wyborg Divebomb!"
The purple blade made a beeline for Tala's silver one, but he dodged it expertly. "Wolborg Blizzard storm!"
The temperature in the room dropped, and Ian's blade began to slow down as it slowly began to freeze.
"Final Attack!" With one well place slam, Wyborg was out of the dish.
The next day, Korimi woke up inside the tank, and opened her eyes slowly, taking in her surroundings. 'God damn...why the hell am I in this tank?!'
The memories of 2 days ago came to her mind, and she suddenly felt dirty and used. She couldn't believe she let Boris...
"Good, you're awake...and you seemed to have healed surprisingly fast for someone who almost killed themselves." Boris's amused voice said interrupting her thoughts, Korimi glared at him while he drained the tank.
Soon, she was standing in front of a doctor, who was inspecting her. "She's in perfect health." The middle-aged doctor said. "Which is surprising, considering she almost killed herself 2 days ago." He kept his voice indifferent because his job and possibly life was on the line.
"Yes. The girl has some unique abilities." Boris said. "So, she will be able to battle next week against the Bladebreakers correct?"
The doctor nodded. "Yes. It seems that way."
"Good. When you are finished, send for a guard and they will escort her to the appropriate training room."
"Yes sir."
With that, Boris left for his office to inform Voltaire that the girl was in perfect health.
There's chap 5!!! I didn't change much from the last time...but I guess it's still ook.
