Takes place after the World Beyblading Tournament
"…." Talking '….' Thinking
Clandestine Wolf
Chapter Twenty-Two - Making New Friends
"Seems like your wolves are very lively tonight Robert, and the moon isn't even full. I wonder what they could be howling about so loudly," commented Oliver as he leaned against the railing of the balcony that reached out from the second floor of Robert's castle in Europe. It had been a good month since the whole incident and the Majestics encounter with the Ancient Shadows. After hearing the news about what had happened they went to the Blade breaker's mansion as soon as they could, only to be met with the truth of everything and what really happened. The news had hit them hard, making them think twice about the team hey had bladed against. It was only about a week after that in which the abbey in Russia had gone up in smoke, everything destroyed and Biovolt truly gone. It seemed like a massive step forward, but by the looks of it several of the other bladers on other teams didn't think so. It was only then that they learned the death of Tala and the thought to be Alexis. Even now things were just starting to settle down, as they kept in contact with those staying in South America and they had news that Razor was beginning to gain his old personally back while Kai had gone back to burying himself in training and becoming almost not social at all.
At the comment the leader of the Majestics rose from his seat in the room all four of his team were meeting at for the week's time, walking over to stand next to the green haired boy that he trusted with his life like the others of his team. For a good moment he was quiet, listening to the wolves that he had placed on his land for protection. Slowly he nodded in agreement to what Oliver had said, listening closely to the loud howls of the wolves. "You're right, they are Oliver. Something must be up, or they caught a scent that they liked. Those howls aren't of anger or warning, but of welcoming and calling the pack together. They haven't done that in a long time, or really they only do that when one of us four walk out there onto their territory. Jonny, will you go and see what they're calling to each other for? Enrique you might as well go with him too, just for safety of course."
Jonny didn't ask why, knowing very well Robert wouldn't send him out on a wild goose chase if something weren't wrong. Merely nodded he stood up from leaning against a wall and walked out of the room leaving Enrique there to catch up whenever he chose to notice that he left. Robert's castle was quite nice, not too elaborately decorated yet it showed clearly the honor he had towards who he was. The winding stair well was still in perfect order, light footsteps echoing lightly upon surface of the stairs. He took the main hallway, heading out the main doors as if he had lived here all his life like Robert had. It was like another home to him, as he and the rest of his team spent more time together and improved their bond between each other. They were all like brothers, bickering like brothers as well at one time or another. From there Jonny walks out of the gates and headed into the forestry where the wolves roamed freely, and that's when Enrique finally caught up, running up beside him panting lightly.
"You could've waited, you know. So what do you think the wolves are all riled up about? When I asked Robert when you walk out without me he said he wasn't sure, and that's why he sent us out here was to find out what exactly it was. Oliver said there would be food ready for us when he got back. Man, I'm starved!" Enrique grinned broadly, putting his hands behind his head as his eyes turned to gaze up at the canopy of the forest. It wasn't normal for Jonny not to answer him, so he didn't expect a response. It was amusing to him more than to anyone else when they found out Jonny still held a grudge against the girl who had hit him and beat him in a beyblade match, but it was rather a low blow when they all found out that she had died while ridding the world of Biovolt.
'I can't believe I lost to that girl… And here she didn't even call out her bit beast to battle against me. If it was possible I would with no doubt have a rematch with her, but everyone is saying that she's dead. I bet Biovolt got a good surprise when their own experiment turned on them and destroyed their organization for good. If there ever was a next time I'd win for sure, no matter what Razor and Kai were saying about her bit beast Cynewolf.' Jonny was in his own world of thought now, his mind wandering to the girl he had fought and lost against as he tried to picture what she actually looked like. No one had bothered showing a picture of the girl when they visited, leaving everyone in the dark about who the girl they called Alexis really was and looked like. Sure they had showed them the fire that the BBA gave to them, but as far as it was concerned the picture of the file was missing along with the video that Ray had made during Snowflake's stay at the Blade breaker's mansion.
The two Majestic team members were already a good distance into the forest on Robert's land, and only a couple time out of the whole walk did they see the flash of the glowing eyes of the wolves running past them. Jonny was growing frustrated and a bit short fused, seeing as this was nothing but a big waste of time. Enrique and he had been walking for a good fifteen to thirty minutes and nothing had came up, but the howling had grown louder and more persistent as they kept walking. It was only a matter of time before they found out what the animals of the forest were all riled up about, as there was only a select amount of the treed area left before it broke out into a clearing. Just as they were about to turn back and head back to the castle Enrique placed a hand on Jonny's shoulder and pointed out past a tree about three yards away, whispering softly to his teammate while he did so. "Look Jonny, there they are. It looked like they're all huddling around something."
"The question is what they're huddling and circling around. We both know that the wolves don't get this riled up about a simple kill, so it has to be something else. Come on, lets go see what all this racket is about." Before Enrique could protest about going any further or getting any closer to the wolves Jonny was already off and walking to get closer, the yellow eyes of the wolves watching his every move as he got closer and closer to their little secret. The animals weren't exactly as wild as other wolves, as they came willingly to the members of the Majestics team and never dared to harm them, much les growl at them either. As both of the teens walked forward the animals fell quiet, parting to let boys through to the reason for the entire ruckus they had been making for the past few hours of the day. As they got closer to whatever the wolves were hiding they found that several of them were laid against and partially on a mass of huddled black cloth. As Jonny motion for Enrique to stay where he was the red head walked closer at a normal pace, only to falter slightly as the wolves laying down allowed a low growl to escape their throats.
"Come on you furry beasts, move already before I make you, and don't you dare growl at me." It was obvious that Jonny was getting impatient with the animals, pushing them away from the mass of huddled black cloth on the ground while absently smacking the wolves muzzles when they growl or actually snapped at him. That wasn't their natural behavior towards the bladers of Europe, and that just pushed the red head to want to know more eagerly at what the animals were protecting. Once the last wolf was pushed away the animals dispersed, slinking off into the forest once more as their yellow eyes were the last things seen. It didn't take long for Enrique to grow impatient of having to stand back and to waltz up to his teammate, leaning over his shoulder to see what the whole growling and howling session was about.
The red embroidery on the black cloth looked almost familiar, as if both of the teens had seen it before some time or another. Just as Jonny was about to reach out and touch the mass of black cloth the huddled form moved, shifting ever so slightly with a grunt of pain. Enrique visibly jumped, falling back onto the dirt floor of the forest as Jonny pulled his hand away quickly. They both looked at each other then back to the suddenly still again bundle of black material. It was clear in both of their minds that what the wolves had been protecting was actually something that was still alive, and hurt by the sounds of it. Reaching out with both hands this time Jonny turned the form on the ground over, not being very gentle about it as the figure under the black cloak whimpered painfully. Being more careful this time the teen pulled at the edge of the black cloth, already seeing the human figure clearly yet wanting to see the face as well. Dirtied stark white hair tumbled free as the cloth was pulled back, the length longer than the shoulders by about a few inches, which the whiteness of the hair was dashed away by dirt and what looked like blood. The tone of the skin was a deep tan, and the face of the body was marred with cuts and bruises yet also clearly female. The girl was Alexis, yet to both of the Majestic's eyes they didn't know whom she was as they never saw a picture of the girl in which Jonny lost to.
"How do you think she got out here, Jonny? I mean look at her, she looks pretty beaten and battered to have actually gotten over the wall that circles Robert's land. You and I both know that the wall is around eight to nine feet tall and is as hard as hell to scale alone." Enrique both looked and sounded concerned, but the only answer he got from Jonny was a slight shrug before Snowflake was lifted up into the red head's arms. It looked as if it didn't take much effort to lift the girl as Jonny cradled the form in his arms as if it was as light as a pillow or a blanket. They both knew that they couldn't just leave the girl out there in the forest to die, so they were headed back to the castle to show Robert their findings. This time they didn't take their time going through the forest, jogging lightly to get back to the castle more quickly as it looked like Alexis was both injured and in a good deal of pain by just the way she hissed every time her body was jarred by a jump over an obstacle in the way.
Enrique ran ahead to tell Robert and Oliver about their findings in the forest, yet also to make sure that the castle's doctor was called to tend to the girl that was found on Robert's land. By the time that Jonny got to the gates of the castle the rest of his teammates were there waiting for him, ushering him into the castle and to an empty guestroom to lay the girl down. From there they were all kicked out of the room as the doctor shit the door in their faces so he could more easily take care of the girl's wounds and injures without them hovering over the bed to see what he was doing. While the Majestics were waiting both Jonny and Enrique told their little tale of what had happened to Oliver and Robert, mentioning the wolf's odd behavior as they were protecting the girl they had found. All four of them were puzzled about how in the first place someone as injured as the teen could've gotten over the wall which surrounded the castle's lands.
It was nearly midnight before the doctor actually came out of the room, looking tired with bloodshot eyes. His doctor's case was held in his right hand, face looking grim yet serious all the while as he made his report to the four beybladers. "I'm quite puzzled how a person could get wounds such as those, as it was as if the girl was in some kind of explosion or rock fight. Most of her cuts and bruises will be fine in a matter of days, but the wound that was covered by her shirt will have to be more carefully looked at. It was deeper than the others and looked as if it had been stitched previously. Now when she wakes up you aren't to wear her out nor let her get up and do and laborious things that could rip the stitching on her side. Now lets see… She needs to eat properly and healthily, and I'll count on you Oliver to do the cooking. Also there are medications that she will have to take to keep any infections away and also to ease the pain she is going to most likely be in. I'll send one of my nurses up here to bathe her and change her wounds every day until she's completely healed. It would be wise as well to actually find out who she is and how she got here, much less why she has, well to say the least, fangs like some kind of wild animal. Good day o you Lords." With that the doctor left, mumbling something about loosing a good few hours of sleep because of this.
"Fangs..? Sounds more like Ray if you ask me. He has fangs, too. So… You think we can go in and see her? You know to make sure she's resting ok and all…" Enrique was already eager to see the girl again, but that was just who he was, too girl crazy for his own good. Jonny socked him in the arm lightly before shaking his head, walking off as he commented about going to his room to get some sleep. The others soon nodded and went off to their own rooms, leaving Alexis to sleep through the night without any distractions or noises. Each of them had their own questions to ask her, yet they would hold off like the doctor had told them to until she was in a more suitable healthy state.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was morning, bright and early as the sun was just rising. All of the Majestics were up, the castle as lively as it always was in the daytime hours. Oliver had cooked breakfast, though Robert kept insisting that he didn't have to cook every breakfast and dinner meal for them. As he had gone to bring a tray of the food to Snowflake a nurse had caught him in the halls, taking the tray with a thank you before walking to the girl's room herself and shooing Oliver off. It wasn't long after when all four of the Majestic members were back in the dinning hall that they heard the nurse's shrill scream and the dropping of the tray on the floor. Out of pure normal reaction the four teens came running to see what the nurse was screaming and hollering about. The door to the room was open, and upon peering in everyone saw what the older lady was screaming about; a wolf that had somehow gotten into the room and had laid down on the same bed as Alexis with its muzzle resting on her rising and falling chest.
"Get that filthy mongrel out of this room! How did it even get in here? Out, out, out, now! Get that beast out of this room now. This is supposed to be a sanitary room for the girl to heal, not a room where filthy wild animals like that come in and lay with the patients. Now get that thing out of here this instant, Young Man." The frightened lady wasn't really directing her order towards any one person in specific, but all four of the teens readily complied to get the woman to stop screaming, yet at they got closer to the wolf it lifted it head and pinned its ears back in a deep snarl. Jonny muttered an "I told you so" to Robert as the two moved closer, Oliver and Enrique trying to calm the nurse as that guided her back down the hallway.
The two teens that stayed in the room were ready to wrestle the wolf or at least chase it back out the window that was open in the room. They both guessed that that was how the animal got in, though the window had been locked they last they knew. Just as they were about to grab at the wolf Snowflake's hand wandered up from the wolf's back, lightly tapping its cold black nose before murmuring something so soft nether of the boys could hear her. To their amazement the wolf fell quiet, resting its head back down onto the tan skinned girl's chest as if nothing had ever happened. Baffled by the wolf's behavior the two ten stood there next to the bed looking at both the girl lying there and the wolf lying beside her. "Now this is a story that everyone is going to be telling around this castle for a few days now. This would be the first time one of those animals ever listened to someone other than the man who takes care of the landscaping." It was Robert who spoke, shaking his head lightly as his fingers raked through his purple hair.
"That's because you don't understand them or have a link with them…" The soft voice came from Alexis, steel blue eyes shifting to become open as the thin lids of tanned flesh lifted slowly. The medication that the doctor had given her last night had put her to sleep pretty quickly, and it now dulled the pain that her wounds had been causing for over a week now. The talking of the doctor had helped her realize where she was, as he spoke about where she was staying and who lived in the castle. Really she had never heard a man babble too much about literally nothing why they were supposed to be concentrating on the person they were taking care of. Her white hair had been washed and her skin bathed clean of the blood and dirt. It felt refreshing, yet while she had slept during the night everything came crashing down upon her. She had been running again, though this time from her memories rather than something that was actually there, but that feeling of being utterly alone and only half of who you were still lingered in her mind. When she had heard the whining at the window during the night Alexis had stumbled out of bed and opened the window for no other than the wolf which was laying with her now. At least with the animal near by things didn't seem nearly half as bad as she thought they were.
"Would you care to tell us how the wolf got into your room and who you are? Also my name is.." Robert didn't get a chance to finish, as Alexis finished his own sentence for him. "Your name is Robert, and your red headed friend beside you is Jonny. The rest of your team consists of Oliver and Enrique, and your team's name is The Majestics. You're the champion beyblading team of Europe, and right now I'm at your castle, Robert. As for the wolf I let him in here by unlocking the window and opening, and you already know who I am. You've seen me before, though you haven't heard my voice or seen my face before." There was a slow pause there before a yawn would reveal the fangs in which the doctor had been speaking off, deadly looking and sharp it seemed.
"Let me guess, now you're going to ask me how I know all this. I've had all this information graved into my mind since I was little, and it's not likely that I'm going to just forget it. As for know where I am…. Your doctor sure does babble a lot when he's supposed to be concentrating. Now the question is do you know yet who I am..?" By now Alexis was slowly sitting up, being mindful of her stitches this time along with her other wounds. Ending up here was her adjective since she woke up the one morning after running away from Luscious and his son Lucas. If anything she knew they'd help her get back to where Kai and the others were, but it was the small grudge that Jonny had against her that made her skeptical of the whole idea.
"You… You're that girl that beat me in a beyblade match! They said you were dead though… You were said to have died in that explosion at the Abbey in Russia where Biovolt was headquartered. Alexis Maximus, the forgotten hero who supposedly got herself killed while destroying Biovolt and its new plans. You don't look very dead to me, girl." Jonny didn't seem too happy, reddish eyes narrowing as Alexis merely grinned at him in an almost wolfish manner. To her hopes the word would get out that she was still alive and Kai along with the others would come here instead of having to go there to them herself. By the time Jonny had started speaking Oliver and Enrique had entered the room, eyeing the wolf that was still there before looking at their clearly displeased teammate.
"Jonny, just calm down. Her explanation would show that the doctor was right about how she got her injuries, and in her condition you aren't going to be beyblading her anytime soon. The doctor said she had to rest and couldn't do anything hat could possibly tear her stitches, and that is exactly what we're going to have her to; rest and do nothing that would require her to hurt herself. Now Oliver would you go and get another serving of food for her while I send for someone to clean this mess up? And Alexis, is that is really what your name is, could you tell the wolf to get out of the castle before we drag it out? There are not animals in the castle." Robert was handling everything as well as any nobleman would, pulling things together and setting things perfectly straight.
"Well gee I guess that means Jonny-boy over here will have to be put out, too. No animals in the castle and all." A sly grin crept across Snowflake's features, the wolf which had been laying next to her rising to her four long legs and jumping off the bed only to leap out of the open window in which it first came from. Jonny's face went flush with anger, but even the laughs of Oliver down the hall could be heard as everyone chuckled lightly at the snide comment that Alexis had said to ease the whole feeling of tension in the room. Though Jonny didn't find it quite funny everyone else did, watching as the red headed boy stomped out of the room without so much as a comment made back at Alexis. Though he held a grudge against her the whole Majestic team found a friend in her, answer given towards questions that were made.
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.

You know to make sure she's resting ok and all…" Enrique was already eager to see the girl again, but that was just who he was, too girl crazy for his own good. Jonny socked him in the arm lightly before shaking his head, walking off as he commented about going to his room to get some sleep. The others soon nodded and went off to their own rooms, leaving Alexis to sleep through the night without any distractions or noises. Each of them had their own questions to ask her, yet they would hold off like the doctor had told them to until she was in a more suitable healthy state.

It was morning, bright and early as the sun was just rising. All of the Majestics were up, the castle as lively as it always was in the daytime hours. Oliver had cooked breakfast, though Robert kept insisting that he didn't have to cook every breakfast and dinner meal for them. As he had gone to bring a tray of the food to Snowflake a nurse had caught him in the halls, taking the tray with a thank you before walking to the girl's room herself and shooing Oliver off. It wasn't long after when all four of the Majestic members were back in the dinning hall that they heard the nurse's shrill scream and the dropping of the tray on the floor. Out of pure normal reaction the four teens came running to see what the nurse was screaming and hollering about. The door to the room was open, and upon peering in everyone saw what the older lady was screaming about; a wolf that had somehow gotten into the room and had laid down on the same bed as Alexis with its muzzle resting on her rising and falling chest.
"Get that filthy mongrel out of this room! How did it even get in here? Out, out, out, now! Get that beast out of this room now. This is supposed to be a sanitary room for the girl to heal, not a room where filthy wild animals like that come in and lay with the patients. Now get that thing out of here this instant, Young Man." The frightened lady wasn't really directing her order towards any one person in specific, but all four of the teens readily complied to get the woman to stop screaming, yet at they got closer to the wolf it lifted it head and pinned its ears back in a deep snarl. Jonny muttered an "I told you so" to Robert as the two moved closer, Oliver and Enrique trying to calm the nurse as that guided her back down the hallway.
The two teens that stayed in the room were ready to wrestle the wolf or at least chase it back out the window that was open in the room. They both guessed that that was how the animal got in, though the window had been locked they last they knew. Just as they were about to grab at the wolf Snowflake's hand wandered up from the wolf's back, lightly tapping its cold black nose before murmuring something so soft nether of the boys could hear her. To their amazement the wolf fell quiet, resting its head back down onto the tan skinned girl's chest as if nothing had ever happened. Baffled by the wolf's behavior the two ten stood there next to the bed looking at both the girl lying there and the wolf lying beside her. "Now this is a story that everyone is going to be telling around this castle for a few days now. This would be the first time one of those animals ever listened to someone other than the man who takes care of the landscaping." It was Robert who spoke, shaking his head lightly as his fingers raked through his purple hair.
"That's because you don't understand them or have a link with them…" The soft voice came from Alexis, steel blue eyes shifting to become open as the thin lids of tanned flesh lifted slowly. The medication that the doctor had given her last night had put her to sleep pretty quickly, and it now dulled the pain that her wounds had been causing for over a week now. The talking of the doctor had helped her realize where she was, as he spoke about where she was staying and who lived in the castle. Really she had never heard a man babble too much about literally nothing why they were supposed to be concentrating on the person they were taking care of. Her white hair had been washed and her skin bathed clean of the blood and dirt. It felt refreshing, yet while she had slept during the night everything came crashing down upon her. She had been running again, though this time from her memories rather than something that was actually there, but that feeling of being utterly alone and only half of who you were still lingered in her mind. When she had heard the whining at the window during the night Alexis had stumbled out of bed and opened the window for no other than the wolf which was laying with her now. At least with the animal near by things didn't seem nearly half as bad as she thought they were.
"Would you care to tell us how the wolf got into your room and who you are? Also my name is.." Robert didn't get a chance to finish, as Alexis finished his own sentence for him. "Your name is Robert, and your red headed friend beside you is Jonny. The rest of your team consists of Oliver and Enrique, and your team's name is The Majestics. You're the champion beyblading team of Europe, and right now I'm at your castle, Robert. As for the wolf I let him in here by unlocking the window and opening, and you already know who I am. You've seen me before, though you haven't heard my voice or seen my face before." There was a slow pause there before a yawn would reveal the fangs in which the doctor had been speaking off, deadly looking and sharp it seemed.
"Let me guess, now you're going to ask me how I know all this. I've had all this information graved into my mind since I was little, and it's not likely that I'm going to just forget it. As for know where I am…. Your doctor sure does babble a lot when he's supposed to be concentrating. Now the question is do you know yet who I am..?" By now Alexis was slowly sitting up, being mindful of her stitches this time along with her other wounds. Ending up here was her adjective since she woke up the one morning after running away from Luscious and his son Lucas. If anything she knew they'd help her get back to where Kai and the others were, but it was the small grudge that Jonny had against her that made her skeptical of the whole idea.
"You… You're that girl that beat me in a beyblade match! They said you were dead though… You were said to have died in that explosion at the Abbey in Russia where Biovolt was headquartered. Alexis Maximus, the forgotten hero who supposedly got herself killed while destroying Biovolt and its new plans. You don't look very dead to me, girl." Jonny didn't seem too happy, reddish eyes narrowing as Alexis merely grinned at him in an almost wolfish manner. To her hopes the word would get out that she was still alive and Kai along with the others would come here instead of having to go there to them herself. By the time Jonny had started speaking Oliver and Enrique had entered the room, eyeing the wolf that was still there before looking at their clearly displeased teammate.
"Jonny, just calm down. Her explanation would show that the doctor was right about how she got her injuries, and in her condition you aren't going to be beyblading her anytime soon. The doctor said she had to rest and couldn't do anything hat could possibly tear her stitches, and that is exactly what we're going to have her to; rest and do nothing that would require her to hurt herself. Now Oliver would you go and get another serving of food for her while I send for someone to clean this mess up? And Alexis, is that is really what your name is, could you tell the wolf to get out of the castle before we drag it out? There are not animals in the castle." Robert was handling everything as well as any nobleman would, pulling things together and setting things perfectly straight.
"Well gee I guess that means Jonny-boy over here will have to be put out, too. No animals in the castle and all." A sly grin crept across Snowflake's features, the wolf which had been laying next to her rising to her four long legs and jumping off the bed only to leap out of the open window in which it first came from. Jonny's face went flush with anger, but even the laughs of Oliver down the hall could be heard as everyone chuckled lightly at the snide comment that Alexis had said to ease the whole feeling of tension in the room. Though Jonny didn't find it quite funny everyone else did, watching as the red headed boy stomped out of the room without so much as a comment made back at Alexis. Though he held a grudge against her the whole Majestic team found a friend in her, answer given towards questions that were made.
