Chapter Eight - Leaving Camp
As the program shut off Kai took the headpiece off, gripping it rather dangerously tight as his crimson eyes stared at the ground his feet rested on. Snowflake took the piece of equipment from his hand as well as everyone else's, making sure to be careful with it as the laptop was shut off and closed up. Soon everything was put away back into the black case as she waited for everyone's responses to the plan, or rather idea of the whole matter. Only time would tell if they'd accept it or ditch it and move to another idea. To her they were all stuck in this together, even if she wanted desperately just to get out and flee.
Figure it to be Kai to speak up first, questioning one of the positions that the new team had put together. "Why is Razor the leader of the team? From what I see either Tala or myself would be better for the job by far. I don't get it." Lifting his head his gaze was cast from one person to another, waiting patiently for his response. Soon it came, answered by Tala rather than Razor himself as the blue haired boy arched an eyebrow is an amused gesture. "Kai, razor is the leader of the team because no one knows his face. The leader has to show his face, and everyone knows our faces as well as Alexis' face. Razor's father is sponsoring our team, seeing as his family is rich and controls a lot of important things in the world."
"Makes sense," commented Kai as he leaned his body forward to rest his elbows onto his knees. Making a fist with one hand and covering it with the other he placed his chin onto his hands, thinking deeply to himself. Snowflake was already up and moving, doing so more confidently and easily than she had before as her body snaked into the middle and largest tent for a long moment. 'This would be the best way to do things anyways… I understand why Razor is the leader, but these ancient bit beasts.. I never knew something like that existed. Now I know what Tala meant by Alexis planning something. For someone still not to her fullest she's certainly on top of things.'
As the darkly tan skinned girl slipped back out of the tent she held a bag by the handle with both hands. The bag was the same black one in which she had retrieved Kai's uniform from, and she expectantly from one person to another with her steel blue eyes. It was terribly hard to read her expressions as they shifted from one to another, yet it was barely visible as they shifted to begin with. All eyes were on her; two pair of blue and one pair of crimson. Finally they all nodded, one by one as they accepted the plan. They really had no choice, and going to the island wouldn't help much to begin with.
"I'm guessing we're going to leave sometime in the middle of the night then? Fair enough. I didn't really like this place to begin with." With a friendly smile Tala stood up, taking the uniform that was pulled out from the bag by Snowflake. First came the boots then the pants and shirt. All were perfectly made to fit the person they were made for. Razor was next up, bouncing along as he snatched up his uniform and bounded off to his tent while Tala took his time. She herself stood there, looking at Kai slowly with her steel blue gaze.
Sighing Kai rose to his feet, turning away from the camp as he brushed off his own uniform that he wore. He muttered something about going to think about things and Alexis only nodded in response and drew back into the tent to change into her own uniform. The cloaks would come later, as it was too hot to wear them right now and much too humid. Even if the cloth would let their body breath it would just make one hyperventilate anyways. She could hear the other two shifting about in their tents as they changed, but she took her time changing herself.
First the blood was washed from her hands and arms, making sure her dark skin was clean of any red smudge that would be a dirty reminder of what happened back at the mansion the Blade Breakers were staying at. The blood on her face and in her hair was left there for now, stripping of her bloody and dirty clothes as they were thrown in the same corner as Kai had thrown his dirty clothes. From there she pulled her shirt over her head, the black of the material making her skin seem a bit lighter than it was. Next came the baggy pants, which rested loosely on her gently curved hips, and then the sock and black boots that were tied up carefully.
Snowflake could hear the two outside admiring each other, not even bothering to ask about Kai as they fixed their uniforms so they settled right. She dug through her things until she found what she was looking for; a bag of small syringes filled with a reddish liquid. The contents were a drug that countered both what Vulcan had given her and the one that Biovolt had put into her body. Now up and going she had more strength, nearly completely back to herself from the mess she had been. The red liquid was injected into her upper arm where it wouldn't hurt or bleed as much. Putting the empty syringe but into the case she got a few small canisters of red paint and slipped back outside of the tent.
First razor turned his head before Tala followed his gaze. From their vivid expressions Snowflake could tell they liked what they saw, despite the blood that still was smudged about her face and stark white hair. The blue haired teen gave her thumbs up while red haired teen smile in appreciation of his friend. Walking to them both she handed them one canister of the red paint, hoping they remembered what each of their symbols were before making a mess of everything.
"Going after Kai? I kind of figured that he'd go off to think like that. I know he won't hurt you, but be careful anyways. You're still healing and you know that," Tala inquired. Clapping Alexis on the shoulder gently he went back to Razor's endless talking as he went on and on about the new uniforms in which he greatly liked. From there the dark skinned teen slipped off into the rainforest as it started to grow dark out. It was already near eleven in the night, as the explaining of the plan took longer than they all thought.
Kai was standing at the creek he had found earlier in the day when he wandered off to think, the running water helping him calm and sort his thoughts out. He wasn't all too sure about this whole new team and keeping hidden idea, but it was for the best and he knew that. If anyone knew who they were then they'd all be in trouble, especially Snowflake as Biovolt was dead set to get her back and make her theirs once more. 'I won't let them break her again, but I will not get close to her. I don't care about her or for her….. Do I?' At the sound of a rustling bush his thoughts were cut short, turning his head to look over his shoulder.
Purposely Alexis made a noise from the bush she was in, seeing as Kai was deep in thought and she didn't want to just sneak up on him. To a point she had an idea about what he was thinking about, all too aware of the training and the pressure Biovolt put on their -students-. When She was sure that Kai had seen her, or at least he was fully aware that someone was behind him, Snowflake stepped out so that he wouldn't have to worry about anyone jumping him or anything of the such. The look of utter surprise on his face was priceless, even if it was brief.
"What are you doing all the way out here? Like Tala said you need to be resting if we're leaving tonight.." Turning to look back at the running water of the creek with his crimson eyes Kai stood there silently, not really thinking e was going to get a response from the wordless teen. Steel blue eyes followed his gaze towards the water, staring at it slowly as Snowflake moved to stand next to the head taller Kai. She was so close that even just the slightest movement would cause their skin to brush up against one another's. "Feelings are not weakness, but a sign of someone growing stronger…"
Kai jerked his head towards Alexis, the skin of his bare arm brushing up against her own bare arm. From that touch he shivered, though his expression was a quizzical one. 'She can't read minds…That's not possible, yet she read me like a book just by the way she acts around me.' Just about when he was about to protest she shook her head, turning to face him as her dark blue eyes met his and kept his gaze. No matter him hard Kai tried to pulled his deep red eyes away he couldn't, almost as it they were frozen in place. In his chest his heart thudded quickly, mind racing until she finally tore her eyes away.
Kneeling down Alexis pulled out a rag from her pocket, dipping it into the cool water of the creek before starting to scrub away at the blood thickly matter onto her face. With it growing dark she couldn't see her reflection well, even with her vision being aided by the eyes of a wolf. Shaking the feeling off that he had Kai knelt down besides her, taking the rag gently from her hand as his free hand cupped her chin. From there he softly scrubbed the red blotches away from her dark skin only to re-wet the rag and leave it sopping wet and he worked on her stark white hair now.
The silence between them was a comfortable one, Kai intently working on getting the blood from Snowflake's hair as she patiently waited for him to finish as her steel blue eyes watched his smooth movements. Each touch he made was ginger, water droplets trailing down her face from the sobbing rag used to clean the blood from her hair. She really didn't mind, as the cool water soothed the heaviness of the humidity and heat in the area. As Kai was finished he sat the rag aside, knowing it was more or less useless now, but as he did so Snowflake grabbed onto his hand and pulled him back down into a kneeling position.
Moving her hand back into the same pocket she pulled out the small container of red paint, handing it to Kai after opening it. He looked at it then back at her face, actually smiling at her though it was unconsciously done. Dipping his fingers into the red paint Kai watched as Alexis closed her eyes, looking so calm, peaceful, and trusting of him. He didn't want to prove that trust wrong, so he skillfully used his fingertips to paint a thin, long, red triangle under each of her closed eyes. When he was done he washed his hands off in the creek, handing her back the container as her steel blue eyes fluttered back open.
He couldn't help to think as that both stood together that Alexis actually looked like a wolf that was ready to go on a hunt for her pack. Kai wiped the smile off his face, but still part of it slipped onto his face. 'Her pack must be the team. She'll protect them with her life.' Standing there he remembered what she had said when she first appeared in the rainforest with him, 'Feelings aren't weakness, but a sign of growing stronger.' Signing softly he shook his head, thinking it not true yet knowing at some place in his mind that it truly was.
"Lets get back to camp if we're going to leave soon, 'Lex.." Mentally he said that name over again, liking it even if it was a shorter version of her real name. Kai did realize that it wasn't even her actual nickname for the team, as he had left the -A- off of it. Snowflake didn't seem to mind or more or less notice, just nodding her head as the pain was stashed back into one of her pockets. Together they walked back to camp, in total yet comfortable silence, as their hands would occasionally brush up against each other.
As both Alexis and Kai reached back to what used to be their camp they noticed the fire was put out and everything was packed up. The tents were put away and everyone's clothes put into suitcases which packed onto the back of the two four wheelers. Over one arm Tala held both of Kai and Alexis' cloaks, while Razor and he already had theirs on with the hood pulled down. Their faces were painted perfectly, though Snowflake didn't doubt that that had to do it more than once to get it done correctly. The two uncloaked teens pulled on their cloaks as Tala held them out to them. Now they were ready to leave.
Tala rode with Razor, letting Razor drive at times and driving himself at times so the other could sleep. Their helmets were put on for safeties sake. Kai rode with Alexis while he drove most of the time, not wanting to sleep, as he wanted her to rest more instead. The ride was a long one as they rode along the beach, passing the mansion that the Blade Breakers were staying in and driving on into the next day. Everyone was tired, and it was evident on their faces as they kept on head towards the docks in upper South America. On their way the tents were thrown away along with a lot of the camping things leaving only extra gas and their suitcases.
Upon reaching the dock, along with many looks, they all kept their helmets on as they gathered there things. A decently sized boat was waiting for them and them alone; for the Ancient Shadows. That's how they were to be moving from now on, like shadows and they had their ancient bit beasts to beyblade with. Once getting onto the boat it set off, not waiting if anything else was needed. Once far enough away from shore and in the barracks where they'd sleep the helmets were taken off with a sigh of relief. Now they were off to Asia as its countries where they'd beyblade other teams and win with no doubt in their minds.
The beds, even if there were only two of them, were greatly appreciated as all four of them crawled onto the soft mattresses and fell asleep. Tala and Razor bedded together, curling up with their cloaks with their backs resting against one another. On the other bed Kai bedded with Snowflake, though a bit uncomfortably at first as she curled up against his chest like a cub seeking warmth. After a slow sigh he allowed her to do so, soon falling asleep with one arm draped over her side loosely.
Summary: When Biovolt goes after one of its past 'students' the BBA steps in and places the girl under the watch of the Blade Breakers. What are Biovolt's plans for this girl and what happens when they get a hold of her because she risked herself by saving one of the Blade Breakers that has grown fond of her.
