Chapter Ten - Stormy Day
The calm ride across the ocean seemed to have been just for them, as if those higher up were favoring the four teens who walked the wet streets of Europe. They were all unique in their own way, each with their own personality and with their own power to back up their words, or their silence. The sky was dark with clouds, the moon and stars no longer being able to be seen thought the mass of thick gray clouds high above in the sky. The dark masses dropped sheets of rain down endlessly through the night, calming only once or twice to a small drizzle until it started up again with the endless down pour of crystal cold droplets. Not a lot of talking had been done; even the never seeming to end chatter of Razor was gone as they walked the empty streets. No one smart would be out in this kind of weather as the storm brewed deadly in the sky above.
The four had traveled quite a good distance by now, using their hands to gather the dropping water to drink whenever they were thirsty. Food could wait, though the ones who didn't eat were quite hungry already. How far they had traveled was really a question not to de dwelled upon, because they saw exactly what they were looking for; the town in which the Majestics lived in. Since it was a good time away from dawn the all had time to make themselves comfortable around town, roaming the streets and parks as their eyes took in everything that was important. Here and there razor would point out something, laughing about it as if it was really funny before calming back down and falling back into silence.
Snowflake walked away from the group, lagging a few feet behind the three males as they walked along and waited for the time of dawn to come. This place was new to her, as was every place they went, as she was always secluded in the abbey of Biovolt. The storm, she knew, would last for their whole stay in most of Europe, but it didn't bother her. Rain always seemed to ease things, or rather the lightening and thunder it brought with it along with the damaging winds that whipped the cloaked around all four of the teen's bodies. They had stuck around, stuck with her and gone along with her not so flawless plan. Alexis didn't want anyone to get hurt just because of what she possessed, so she decided right then and there that she'd protect them all, especially Kai who went out of way to come along, with what she had; like the loyal pack member she was.
At a smaller park is where they all made the decision to rest a bit, a shelter there with tables and seats there to sit or lay upon. There the rain wouldn't beat down upon them like it had the mark of making welts upon their skin. Tala sat on the tabletop with her feet resting propped up on a chair while Razor sat just a few feet away on a chair with his feet propped up on the table. Kai was watching the two boys converse softly, their voices reaching each other easily through the sound of the pouring rain. The crimson-eyed teen sat with his arms crossed in a chair on the other side of the shelter. Nether of the three seemed to notice the lacking presence of their fourth member of their team who still remained out in the rain. All their faces were concealed; all but Razor's who had his hood down so his bright and friendly face could be seen.
Still out in the rain in a clearing of the park's trees Alexis lingered, mind centering its self from wandering anywhere else as her steel blue eyes stared ahead. Without any movements her body remained like a statue, as still as can be as her cloaked body stood out in the clear. Focusing on a target that wasn't even there she suddenly lashed out with a fist into the air, the hit disturbing the air with its quickness and force only to be followed by several other combinations of kicks and punches. The look in her eyes had changed, almost glowing at the edged with a tint of lighter blue. The training Biovolt had put her through was fueling her now, running her mind as each fighting style she was taught blended together in her own style of deadly arts. Soon intricate maneuvers were made, adding movements from gymnastics and over various sports.
Too caught up in herself and what she was doing Snowflake didn't notice the dark yet not yet crimson pair of eyes watching her from behind a nearby tree. By now she had walked over the set of swings, jumping up to the high bar that held the each of the children's play toys in the air. Well-gripped hands didn't slip from the wet piece of painted metal, holding the light form suspended in the air for a good lengths of time. Suddenly Alexis swung her body, using the movements of a gymnast to perch herself upside down on the bar in a handstand. It was like watching a clown in the circus play around, knowing they could do better than what you saw. That's just what she did, shifting the position of her hands so that it was like she was walking on her hands in a handstand. Next her back bent slowly, legs lowering in a walk over as she ended up on her feet before running and vaulting off the end of the rather high up bar of metal.
Alexis landed perfectly on her feet, the cloak falling down to cover her once in motion body once more. Steel blue eyes shifted, feeling another' gaze on hers besides those she knew as they had finally caught that she wasn't with them. There was clapping, mocking in tone, but clapping none the less as the dark red eyed boy stepped out from behind the tree; Jonny. A smirk was on his face, watching the whole show the girl had put on for him, but he couldn't see her face or any of the others that dressed the same way except for Razor. "Well well, what do we have here… Freak shows roaming the parks at night…" e couldn't help but to chuckle softly, only to be cut off as a sudden jab from Snowflake's strong fists met him square in the stomach. How she had gotten so close to quickly was beyond him.
"Serves you right member of the Majestics. Alex here doesn't like people saying things about our team; the Ancient Shadows. What are you doing out in the rain this late at night? I could've sworn all the intelligent people were indoors, though we live outside." Razor hopped from his seat, trotted over to Jonny as Snowflake backed off and walked back to the others still at the shelter. The red haired teen didn't respond, standing back upright after being hit, yet the rest of his team wandered up behind him with questioning stares. "Well looks as if we have all four of you here. You can call me Raz…Leader of the Ancient Shadows. You've already met Alex, Jonny-boy, and the other two are Kain and Terror. "
"Enough of formalities, what are you doing out here in the rain? Don't you have something better to do than to roam about like bums in our parks? We don't need trash like you walking around here, as we like to keep our parks clean." Spoke up Robert, the team's captain in a stern tone. He wasn't happy about the assault made upon his teammate, though he knew Jonny had more then well deserved it for putting another team down. It was odd though, as he found, that only one of the four team members he was facing had their face unmasked as the other's eyes were glowing dangerously under the hood of their cloaks.
"Sure we have something better to do, beyblade you. Each match will be the best out of three, and three of us will battle. Of course you could be chickens and run away like everyone else does.." There was a pause as a low growl behind Razor kept him in check from making things more of a problem. Alexis wasn't too happy with him it seemed. "As I said, we just want a simple battle against your team, do you accept? Of course…you can pick who each of you want to battle, as it makes no difference to us who you go up against."
"You're offer is accepted! And I'll fight first up against that little snob girl of yours Alex. She'll pay for hitting me when I was off guard." Razor just shrugged, backing up to let Alexis step forward, her face masked in shadows. They'd blade here, out in the rain which made things even more difficult to go with, but Jonny didn't seem to care as he just wanted to get revenge on the one who had hit him. It didn't register in his mind that the hit he had received was only a small hint of what she could do, but he was too caught up in the moment and his team thought it an easy win. Both Jonny and Snowflake readied their blades, razor counting them off. "3…2...1...Let it rip!"
Both blades launched with such ferocity that she ground was torn up lightly, but they circled each other like prey. Jonny was in a hurry to get revenge, calling out his bit beast to fight with him, "Go, Semulyon! Destroy her blade!" As his bit beast appeared in a roaring glow of sudden power it rushed forward after the black and light blue blade of Snowflake. Sparks flew, but the blade of the teenage girl didn't budge as Jonny attacked with all his might. There was only a short pause before his blade was thrown into a near by tree harshly by just the softest tap of the female's beyblade. Jonny stood, awestruck of suck power as the wolfess turned and walked away after picking up her blade. It was fruitless to try to win up against her, and he knew it. "So strong.."
'Such power can't be wielded without a bit beast…. Or can it? This team is much strong than I first thought, and another mistake like that will give them a perfect win against our honorable team.' Robert pushed past Jonny, giving his teammate a gentle squeeze on the shoulder as he did so. "I challenge the one called Terror… Step forward and take your loss!" And so Tala did step forward, grinning softly as Alexis brushed past him to let him through to battle. Both readied their blade, eager to fight against one another. Again Razor started the fight, smirking knowingly. "3.…2...1... Let it rip!" It was like a reply of the match before with Robert calling his bit beast out as early as he could, "Go, Griffolyon!" Screeching his glowing bit beast rose from the blade, attacking its opponent's blade mercilessly. As Tala's blade started to run Robert thought he had one, ordering Griffolyon to attack one last time, but as Tala reversed his blades direction the attack was used against Robert's blade sending it flying to its own, too damaged to fight again.
"Two wins to zero, well what do you know… Who's next to fight and who are you fighting?" Razor chirped, looking like an ego prizing fool with the pose he was making. Tala was already walking away, his identity still safely unknown as his blade was picked up from the muddy ground. Alexis had moved to stand next to Kai, rain still falling as it slipped down the cloak's cloth on each of the four members of the Ancient Shadows. Robert looked taken back, eyes downcast yet stubborn as ever. "You know it's pointless to fight another battle…we can't come back and win, and you know it. Some how you've managed to win against up…so powerful your team is."
"Why don't you all just come and get out of the rain? I'm freezing! What do you say? Hmm? A nice warming up would do nice, wouldn't it Alex?" Enrique was the one to speak up; winking at Snowflake at Olive softly socked him on the arm. Kai's crimson eyes glared, wrapping his arms around Snowflake's shoulders and pulling her to his chest possessively as the blonde laughed uneasily and rubbed the back of his head. "Well just come and get dry and some sleep, food too," he tried again, only to get a nod from each of the cloaked teens. 'God…They're really a hard crowd to work with…'
Both teams made it back to Enrique's mansion, each of them soaking wet. It was still storming, lightening streaking the sky and thunder filling everyone's ears. The Majestics had all gotten into dry clothes, a towel around their shoulders to dry their hair off. They were lounged in front of a fire, Razor joining them with his cloak tossed aside. His uniform was admired by the team he lounged with, smiling broadly as they chatted nearly endlessly back and forth. Robert had his eyes on the three which didn't join the group, standing a good distance away still dripping wet as they conversed little between themselves. 'There is something about them, as if they were on some sort of mission. That must me why they searched us out yet we didn't know who in the world they were. We underestimated them, foolish of us to do so. Why don't they show their faces…'
"We want answers, Raz. How about telling us what you're really doing out here? With skills like yours they should be known, yet we haven't even heard of you or any of your teammates before." Robert leaned back into his chair, folding his hands in front of him as his fingers interlocked with each other. The blue haired teen just bounced out of chair, walking in a complete circle before he paced back and forth while answering the questions he could without giving away too much about what was really going on. "Well we're out to show we can blade along with the best, and you're team was the first stop as we're working our way across Eurasia. As for not hearing about any of us we like to keep things down, until now that is. " Razor only shrugged, gesturing for his team to come over.
Tala made a slow glance over towards razor with his metallic blue eyes, rolling them slowly as he, Kai, and Snowflake were bid over to join the others. 'What a dunce…' As he walked the other two followed, all three of their head down so that their faces were completely washed with shadows. As soon as they were close enough Razor put an arm around Tala's shoulders while speaking again. "Yeah, we are something when it comes to sticking together, as Jonny ever here knows… I'm sure you'll be grateful to know she was only -toying- with you. Not even I know what would've actually happened if she would've hit you with all her might. We're just about invincible…Ouch!" Tala had smacked the back of his head with a glare, while adding in a quiet voice, "Don't boast you idiot.."
"Err…Sorry for boasting. We can be beaten and we aren't invincible, though I wish we were. Don't we all though… Anyways we have to be on the go, as we have other teams to battle and other towns to visit. We have a schedule to run on, you know." The other three were already leaving, Razor left behind to say brief goodbyes before running out. The Majestics were up and running after them, but as they got to the door and looked out they saw nothing but the storm of the day. They were gone, running with the shadows. Their next stop would be the next city when it stopped raining.
