Chapter Fifteen - Unlikely Help
Five days had passed since the whole incident in Russia, Kai being willing enough to go to the Abbey right there and then while everyone had to hold him back from doing so. After calming down Kai noticed his fault in just willing to jump at getting Alexis back, realizing that if he were to actually go unprepared that he would more than likely be killed himself and risk not just his own life but Snowflake's as well. Razor was in an emotional slump of deep depression, hardly eating and hardly sleeping as he sat there staring out the window silently as he often cried himself to sleep at night. The two had been taken back to the mansion in South America where the Blade Breakers were staying while the White Tigers were sent on their way to recover from the whole ordeal in their own way. The authorities had bombarded Kai and Razor with never ending questions, but the only answers they got were from Mr. Dickenson who showed up to pick up the two boys to bring them to the mansion. From there the BBA stepped in and gave the authorities answers they'd have to live with for now, clearing the boy's names and wishing them the best as well as giving them their thanks for trying their best to keep Snowflake protected from Biovolt.
Ray, Kenny, and Tyson's father let the two teens be as they came back t the mansion, knowing they had gone through hell and back and were still suffering from the whole mess. The little incident in the kitchen had been explained to them and cleaned up leaving them in the clear about what was happening. Now once they were all filled in about where Kai had disappeared with Snowflake along with the story about Tala and Razor then they all smiled, nodded, and let them go on until they were ready to talk or get back into a more social life. The White Tigers wanted to stay and help get Alexis back, but the BBA had sent them on their way saying that they had everything under control and they had nothing to worry about. It was just a never-ending story of sorrow and depression.
The room that Snowflake had slept in was taken up by Kai and Razor, the two thriving life off of each other as each day slowly passed. Razor at timed was filled with rage and anger towards Biovolt and what they had done to Tala while at other times he was so sunken into his own sorrow and pain that he didn't eat or sleep. Kai was suffering as well, though not as harshly as he intended on doing something about the problem the both of them had. Each night his heart jumped into the sky and flew out to Snowflake wherever she was, hoping that it would give her strength to hold on until he could do something about the whole mess. Inside both razor and Kai were tearing themselves apart about the fact that they had lost a pack member for good and were possibly going to loose another. The laptop that Alexis had left behind was found to be very helpful as if carried a map of the Abbey and a list as to where all the cameras were located along with the number of guards posted as each door and hallway. Kai had his work cut out for him decoding the map, but with help from Kenny it had been completed, but that wasn't the only help they had. Another good section of help came from a small booklet that Tala had been caring around with him, Razor having kept that and Tala's beyblade as his reminders of his fond friend. The small leather book looked more like a diary, but one opened it revealed its self to be a detailed report on all of Biovolt's undercover agents.
Whether or not anyone took notice of the two remaining members of the -pack- locking their door everyday and keeping away from everyone it didn't matter, as Razor and Kai planned out both their revenge and their plan to retrieve Alexis from the Abbey. The underground passageways were extensive and it seemed a bit too much for just two of them to handle, as they both were both emotionally and mentally stressed from the whole line of events that had happened. Often the two boys wouldn't talk to each other for days straight, sinking into their own sorrowful and pain filled memories as sleep finally caught up with them and pulled the two into a fitful sleep. The more time that past and the more they developed their plan the more hopeless it all seemed to go out there all the way back to Russia only to find that Biovolt had been waiting for them the whole time and realize that the one person you were trying to save fell back into their training and didn't remember a thing about you.
Razor had decided they he'd stay with Kai and the Blade Breakers, figuring he didn't have any other friends beside Kai anyways now that Tala was gone. After Mr. Dickenson had told everyone that he had actually bought the mansion for everyone to stay in whenever they wanted razor insisted that they burry Tala there to honor him for his sacrifice. Everyone had been a little bit skeptical about the whole idea, but after Kai added his word on the idea everyone just nodded and went along. From there a small cemetery was made in the garden to the side of the mansion, a wolf shaped headstone being used for Tala's marked burial spot. Even after the whole ceremony was over razor still stood there, pale in the face and looking as if he was reliving the whole past. Kai had taken pity on him, allowing the blue hair boy in which eh still considered a part of his pack to cry on his shoulder and just let everything go. He had ended up falling asleep in Kai's arms where he was carried to his bed to finally sleep a single restful night, his sleep well deserved by everyone's standards.
Each night Razor slept with Tala's beyblade blotched to his chest, the icy wolf bit beast spirit inside giving him as much a reassurance as it could as the teen slept. Razor's own bit beast seemed just as willing to comfort him, its bit beast chip glowing brightly every time he needed someone there to listen to him or just to comfort him. It was as if he was trying to make up for the warmth that he missed lying beside him all those nights out in the forests of Russia when Tala had slept next to him with his arms pulling the blue haired teens back up against his chest. Kai was in the same predicament as Razor was in, missing the lean yet strong body he had held in his arms since the day he had let his barriers down and cried for her, for Alexis. Now he hardly slept, keeping both his and Snowflake's beyblade close to him at all times while he still had yet to notice the soft blue glow of the bit beast chip on the black and blue blade he carried in his pocket of the normal clothes he had donned to wear again.
"Kai?" It was Ray, knocking lightly on the locked door of the room Razor and Kai practically lived in the past five days. "Come on Kai I know you're up. Unlock the door and let me come in at least to sit there. All of us need to know if you and Razor are all right…. Please Kai, open the door?" He was persistent, Kai had to give him that but he had no intention of opening the door for the raven-haired boy. The lights were off in the room, the window opened for a dim light while razor slept rather quietly in a bed he had made on the floor. Kai himself sat in a corner where he had made his own little bed of blankets, working on the still coded files on Alexis' laptop. "Fine don't open the door…But I thought I'd mention that you have visitors waiting out here for you and they don't seem very patient. At least come out and see what they want, and get some food at that. Both of you have to eat sometime or another." The sound of retreating feet was heard as Ray gave up and walked away from the locked door, looking rather down at the fact that he couldn't do much to help Kai or his friend Razor.
Not too long after there was another knock at the door, this one not as meek as Ray's as it nearly threatened to nearly knock the door off its hinges. Kai didn't bother answering the door, watching quietly as Razor shifted slightly in his sleep from the noise. There was another impatient knock before as an insistent and demanding toned voice followed behind the knock. "Damn it Kai open this god damn door already! I thought you'd be honorable enough to come out and actually see whom your visitors were, but no I guess you're just too weak to do anything about what happened. You lousy excuse for a team member, a friend, and a pack member. Get you ass over here and open this door right now before I open it myself!" Crimson eyes shifted uncomfortably at the voice, swearing he had most definitely heard it before from somewhere or another, yet he didn't remember where.
"Kai we're going to count to three and you had better open this door by the time I get to three, if not you're going to regret it. I bet you'd open this door in a hurry if it was Tala standing here and hollering for you…" Glaring slowly at the second and different voice that spoke up he knew he recognized those voices, yet not quite could he place them to faces in his only half awake state. Before he had time to even answer or get up from the bed on the floor, the counting having already started, he saw Razor get up from his pile of blankets in a mad furry. It was then that he realized in all the mumble of words he had heard that he had heard the name -Tala-, and he figured razor was having none of it. In a matter of a split second the door's lock was undone and Razor was clashing with the short figure standing behind the door once it was swung open. Whoever it was Kai felt sorry for them, the pain and rage in Razor's eyes enough to make him cringe on the spot.
The two bodies rolled in a mass of limbs down the hallway, a vase being knocked over in the process as it fell to the floor in a clatter of both small and large shards of ceramics. Razor had gotten in a good number of furious punches before his body was pinned to the floor. It didn't take long for him to break down right there, just like he had been doing for the past few days straight. Any fighting spirit in his body was gone, replace with shudders and tears as he lie there pinned on the soft carpet of the hallway's floor. Even as the person he had tackled and went after got off of him and tried to help him up he shied away from everyone's hands, looking torn and helpless as soft hiccups replaced his slowing sobs. From there he huddled against the wall of the hallway, head tilted down so his messy blue locks fell over his puffy blue eyes.
"Now look what you did Ian. I told you before hand not to say anything about Tala and what happened, but you just had to mention something about Tala anyways. You know what both of them went through, and you know that Tala paid the ultimate price to protect them as well as Alexis. Don't even give me that look as if you forgot, I know better. Here we are trying to help them out to see if they are willing to go to Russia to get Alexis back and you're pissing them off. You had better just be glad that was Kai because you know if it was that you'd be dealing with more than a few bruises and sore spots from being hit," commented the first voice that had spoken while knocking against the door. That's when it hit Kai to who the voices belonged to, the name of one of the two being said. 'Ian and Spencer… What the hell are they doing here, haven't they caused enough trouble?'
Closing the lid of the laptop while turning the power off Kai stood up, a little shaky on his feet at first as he was only half awake from his lack of sleep but he stood up and waited until he knew his legs would carried him. The laptop was set on the actual bed in the room, still calling it Snowflake's bed even though she wasn't even here to sleep in it. The fact that Spencer had said something about helping didn't even occurring to Kai in is sleepy state, glaring at both of the Demolition Boy members as he stalked out of the room. The light of the hallway made his eyes narrow until they adjusted to the sudden brightness. It was just like leaving the Abbey for his first time, wincing as the sunlight hit his eyes. Once seeing clearly again he kneeled in front of razor, speaking quietly to him as the two carried on a small conversation that was unheard by the two standing there.
As Razor rose to his feet and made his way quietly back into the room Kai stood back up, turning to face Ian and Spencer with a seemingly unhappy glare. "What the hell are you two doing here? Biovolt already has Alexis so what do you want? I'd be thinking you caused enough problems as it was during the tournament." The tone of Kai's voice was as cold as it had been when he had first met and became apart of the Blade breakers, untrusting and as cold as ice. Spencer looked a little taken back by the harshness, but he replied in his own cold voice as Ian followed razor into the room in hopes of possibly saying something to make the teen feel better about what he had said. "You actually think we're still with Biovolt? You've got to be kidding me. We're here about Alexis, just like… Just like Tala was. We did what we did during the tournament because of the hold that Biovolt had over us. Do you think we liked being mere puppets in a game? You had better think again Kai because Alexis taught us to be better people than that. Don't even look surprised that I know her, because Ian does too. Tala wasn't the only one who was one of her good friends at the Abby. If it wasn't for her we'd all the drowning in our own self-pity and hate. Open your eyes and look around you, Kai. You're acting as if you've lost the chance to actually do something about what happened. Tala might not be able to be saved but Alexis can still be saved," snapped Spencer as Kai's glare only grew harsher.
While the two kept going back and forth, trying to prove something about themselves, Ian had crept into the dimly lit room in which razor had wandered back into. He had crawled back onto his makeshift bed of a large pile of blankets and pillows, curled up and crying softly. He looked rather frail, having not eaten very much since what happened back in Russia, and the happiness and life he used to possess seemed to have just drained from his body like his energy. Ian frowned softly, not really knowing what to say to the blue haired boy but insistent on trying to get him to at least smile once. 'He and Tala must've been pretty close if he is upset this much. I know Tala would sacrifice his life for anyone he deeply cared about, but I don't think he thought about what would happen if he did die while sacrificing himself for someone who cared back.' Stepping forward Ian sat next to the pile of blanket on the floor, situating himself so he could sit where Razor was facing him. "Look I'm…. I'm sorry for what I said. Tala was a good friend to me as well, and I'm just glad he was happy before he was killed. You know… He must've really cared for you if he risked his life to save you. You're name's Razor, right? Yeah. Even while back in the Abbey he'd talk about someday venturing out and meeting you. Even while at the Abbey he looked through everyone's profile, and yours stuck out to him. Tala knew you were a good person, loyal too."
There was a slow and quiet pause between Ian and Razor, both keeping their gaze elsewhere before Razor answered Ian in an ever so slightly amused voice. "To think the all tough Ian of the Demolition Boys is sitting here in front of me now talking all mushy-like." Gently Razor laughed, half smiling as his tear filled blue eyes lit up with a hint of life again. Ian gave him a look before responding. "And here I was trying to be nice and you make a joke out of it. Man… Just like someone Tala would get along with easily. I can see why he liked you so much if you're usually so filled with life. You know just because he's gone doesn't mean life isn't going to go on. He'd want you to keep on living and be there for your friends." Ian was about to say something else when Razor interrupted with a rather meek voice. "You came to help us get Alexis back didn't you? If you're both Tala's and Alexis' friend then you're mine too, right?" With a smile of his own Ian nodded his head yes to the two questions.
