Chapter 36: Battle of the Three Phoenixes.
"Let me show you my secret Hiwatari." Osiris spoke, his voice malicious and full of hate and spite. "The day you chose friendship over power was the beginning of so many mistakes."
Kai growled slightly and set Dranzer to his launcher. Osiris laughed unpleasantly; casting a careless wave indicating behind him.
Kai felt his heart stop, his emotionless mask shattered for a slight second to reveal a look of pain and disbelief.
"Don't worry Kai. It wasn't willing; in fact she broke down into tears when she agreed." His voice was low, a subtle hint of malevolent laughter entwined in it.
It was Isis, though she looked so different from the last time he had seen her –Less than a night and a day – her hair was loose and clung slightly to her slender body that was kitted out in some sort of one piece garment. Her lilac eyes, not daring to meet her friends, had two violet triangles descending from them, almost like her tears had stained her cheeks, those tears stained by her color of her iris.
Her whole stance was different also. Instead of the cheerful spark in her usual bright eyes, they seemed brimming with regret and grief, she once more looked so small and fragile yet she seemed brimming with an intense strength. Though at the same time she was breaking into two.
Nina couldn't help but stare. When she had first met Isis she had been able to see immediately the loyal streak in her pose, the passion that flowed through her veins. Antonio just gawked, though he was careful to keep his mouth shut. Cleo just smirked at him slightly before turning her attention to the raven haired girl she had heard so much about.
"Nina, something isn't right." Cleo whispered in the girl's ear. Nina rolled her eyes.
"No shit Sherlock."
"No! Isis is being blackmailed! I'm sure I heard on the news some time that Kai and Isis had an accident whilst a friendly match! Anyway I pestered Lois into looking it up and it turns out that unless something really bad is going to happen to their owner the two bitbeasts won't battle!" Cleo whispered excitedly.
"Tell me something I don't know." Nina rolled her eyes at the French girl, who suddenly felt stupid.
"Oh; sorry." She murmured back at the petite girl. Nina ignored her and once more turned her attention to Kai and this Osiris.
"I invite you battle my beautiful ice phoenix," He spoke almost possessively over her, Isis shivered slightly.
One single tear escaped her eye, crystallizing before it hit the floor, causing it to shatter into thousands of tiny pieces on the hard stone.
I'm so sorry...
"You bastard! Let her go!" Kai growled; he felt his instincts scream at him to attack the teen full on, his trained mind forcing them back. Letting his training at the Abby take over.
"You don't get it do you Kai? Can you see the restraints? I think not..." He trailed off with a slight cackle. "Go on Kai, ask her to go to you." He suggested, an evil look masked his face.
Kai flinched slightly at his words, those cruelly confident words affecting his own confidence.
"Isis?"
She looked up, straight into his slate grey eyes. She shuddered again, as though pain had just coursed through her body. She quickly looked away, unable to keep her keep the contact of their eyes.
"Isis come back." His voice was suddenly uncertain as she didn't move. "Isis stopped being foolish and come back!" His voice cracking slightly as she didn't even look at him.
I'm so sorry Kai...
The boy smirked maliciously at the one they had called emotionless. The one with a heart of stone. The boy who didn't love.
"Like I said, she cried when she accepted. But, she accepted; she is mine and best of all... It's of her free will."
"Free will has a choice." Isis spoke quietly, startling everyone.
He looked at her fleetingly, an obvious disapproving frown playing his lips. He didn't speak a word as she cringed slightly, her face entirely distressed.
He smirked once more, as though enjoying playing with her emotions.
"Say Kai, let us... Let us strike a deal. You shall battle my charming ice phoenix and me. If you beat us then Isis will go with you. If we beat you, then she will stay here, and you Dranzer, shall be destroyed."
Isis's head whipped around to face him.
"NO! Don-"
"Silence wench!" The harsh spirit voice had completely taken over, his eyes now represented black-holes ready to pull into at capture forever. She flinched and looked away, her grief was mixing with her anger towards the spirit possessing the boy.
"I accept your challenge. But you must promise to set the others free also." Kai added, his emotions had hidden away inside of him again, no longer was anyone able to read him.
You will pay for everything you have done to her Black Dranzer. I will go further than to just dump you at the bottom of the lake.
"Then let us begin."
"Three... two... one..."
"LET IT RIP!"
Three blades came crashing into the beydish with such a force that Cleo felt her body get blasted into a wall, at least until a pair of strong arms grabbed her and pulled her into him.
"Be careful" Antonio muttered in her ear.
She blushed; a lot.
Back at the beydish the huge surge of energy had caused the bladers hair to be whipped back, Osiris and Kai looked eerily familiar as both of their bangs ripped towards the ceiling along with all of the other loose objects that had been lying around. Isis looked almost haunted, her lilac eyes were wide and exaggerated the dark shadows under her eyes. Her raven-like hair was now flowing as a huge blanket once more towards the ceiling, contrasting her pale skin.
Both Dragweena and Black Dranzer had cornered Dranzer in the beydish, forcing him out of the dish.
I though she couldn't battle me?
Flashback...
Kai and Isis meanwhile had called out their bitbeasts. Only too little success. His powerful Dranzer made little effort to harm her agile Ice phoenix Dragweena, hers doing the same.
"Dragweena attack!" She repeated one vain attempt to stir her bitbeast into battle. He was doing the same.
It was then their battle grew stranger. When the bitbeasts did draw together it was not to fight but to meet, both gasped as the two bitbeasts drew together.
A huge upsurge in energy sent both Kai and Isis soaring through the air backwards. Crashing into opposite walls, both to sickening cracks. Their blades dieing almost immediately, falling into their hands.
"Kai!"
"Isis!"
End Flashback...
"Dranzer!" Kai yelled at the spinning blade. His phoenix rose from the chip on his blade as Dragweena and Black Dranzer followed suit.
Dragweena hesitated before Dranzer escaped. An enraged Black Dranzer however did not waver before sending a blow to his forced partner. Isis gave out a small scream as Dragweena was hurt, unable to understand why.
Meanwhile...
"Come on Tyson!" Hilary shouted behind her at the others. They had soon been reunited with Mariam and Mariah and their rescuers, and were now running to try and save Isis and Kai before they made a huge mistake.
I hope we're not too late...
