Chapter 38: Escape from the Island.

"This is all so very touching, but maybe we should think about getting out of here?" Nina spoke crisply. "We may introduce each other later."

Osiris nodded.

"I know how to get out of here and all the passwords. But we've got to help everyone else on the island." He told them.

"How many teams are here?" Asked Henry.

"Around ten, not many. Then you have the stowaway team, the St. Shields I believe they are called. The people who worked for me managed to catch two of them."

"Joseph!" Mariam gasped. "What about Joseph?" Her thoughts were suddenly filled with worry for her little brother.

Osiris motioned everyone to follow him, which they did.

"He's the green haired kid isn't he?"

Mariam nodded.

"He was found at the Espanola Angeles camp asleep, he was then put in with the rest of the St. Shields." Osiris led them down to the cells and tapped lightly out the password to open the door.

"About time some one helped us out- hey! What are you doing here?" Joseph shouted, glaring at Osiris.

"We don't have time to explain, we've got to find everyone else and get out of here." Mariam told them curtly ushering them out of the cell.

Dunga growled slightly at Osiris before being hit over the head by Mariam.

"Quit complaining we're getting out of here!" She told him shortly. Dunga obeyed along with Ozuma and Joseph.

Osiris then led them to a control room. Everyone crowded in even though there was no real need too.

"Guides for all everyone with every team except of the Espanola Angeles, The Fallen Ones and the Bladebreakers all bring them to the main entrance." He said his voice cold and emotionless.

He turned to the others.

"We should get down there. We must also be careful; I do not want any agents to realize we are gone until we are." He told them all. They nodded to show they understood.

After what seemed like a lifetime, the remaining teams showed up looking dishevelled and bewildered. Tyson and Henry took charge in getting everyone to follow Osiris and Hilary who were leading them up the vast building to the highest floor.

Cleo seemed slightly dazed as she gazed around the corridor filled with teens her age. Most were lads and were quite obviously staring at her; she blushed slightly and looked away.

Her eyes met Antonio's and she blushed. He smirked and waved at her, purposely going over to her through the crowds.

"Hey."

"Hey." She murmured back, blushing more intensely. "Erm... about what happened in the beystadium thing... Thank you... I guess." She stuttered, now she really was as red as her hair.

His cheeks also went a slightly pink colour though thankfully she did not notice.

"No problem; I mean, you're really light..." He flushed slightly and stumbled over his words. She blushed harder again and the two began to walk along in silence.

Nina watched her teammate talk to the redheaded French blader and smirked. Wondering why she had not noticed it already, but then again, they had had other things on their mind. Such as rescuing a few of the Bladebreakers companions and watching, that strange boy dispose of Black Dranzer from his system.

Her eye rested on another couple. Isis and Kai, he had wrapped his arm around her waist as she leaned her head on his shoulder. She smirked again as once more her eyes began to wander around the crowd...


A shiver rippled through the crowd of beybladers. The plane was cold and there wasn't much room at all.

Tyson shifted slightly, causing the Spanish girl to nestle on his shoulder slightly, whilst sleeping. He didn't notice Hilary watch them; she had a sad smile on her face.

They suit each other so well... She found herself thinking, she stopped herself, wondering why she thought that, they were after all supposed to be going out with each other.

Maybe it's because of...

NO. She refused to think about it. He was possessed at the time! It meant nothing at all.

But why...

So many questions...

"Hey," She looked up, finding the source of the voice she knew so well. She looked up and smiled faintly, before a small flicker of panic passed her eyes. Osiris smirked with his usual all knowing eyes. "It's on auto-pilot; this craft was designed to be run by computers. Completely untraceable also may I add." He told her smugly, she laughed and hit him gently on his arm.

He collapsed down next to her, one arm hugging his knees slightly and the other pulling her into his chest.

"So which one's Tyson?" He asked, glancing around. Hilary sighed faintly as she leaned her head lightly on his shoulder.

"You see the Spanish girl over there?" She pointed at Zoriaida who was still in her 'boyfriend's' arms. She felt Osiris bristle with anger.

"Hilary, are you trying to tell me that that... that... he, is your boyfriend?" His tone was barely able to control the anger inside him.

"Yeah... but-" She began, he cut her off angrily.

"What the hell does he think he is doing?" He snarled, his fists had formed fists of rage.

"I-"

"You're going out with a player?" he asked her incredulously, "Why?"

"Tyse isn't a player Ose. I guess our relationship just... died." She tried to explain to him, it was hard but seeing Tyson with the Spanish girl had eased the guilt from what had happened during her time... She had come to realise that that maybe she and Tyson were meant to be just friends...

"He still had no right to treat you like that Hils! I bet you haven't even split up with him yet! Hi-" He began an angry outburst again but was interrupted but Hilary getting up to met his eyes.

"Osiris, just forget it. You're more upset about than I am. I mean..." She fell silent while trying to explain her own view on the matter. "It just didn't feel right to be with him after... after you Isis and Kai beybattled." She finished lamely. "I mean, Tyson and her just seemed to click so quickly and... I guess I've found myself matching them up." She told him. He looked slightly taken aback before nodding.

"If it makes sense to you then..." He smirked slightly. "You know who to turn to if anyone hurts you bad." He told her, she laughed and poked him in the ribs.

"What would you do? Beat them up?" She teased him light-heartedly. He smirked as his eyes light up with amusement.

"I wouldn't need to, my superior wit and knowledge could outsmart anyone." He told her, putting up a mask of arrogance in amusement.

They both laughed and fell quiet. It was so good to be able to talk to get other and hear each other's voice other than on the phone or via the internet.

Both of them felt their thoughts get dragged slowly to what had happened.

Should I tell her? Yes, no! She's not even dumped that jerk over there, I can't just... No, I can't, can't I?


Well this isn't awkward. NO! I am not going to think of that darn kiss one more time.

Flashback...

Hilary watched the door that her possessed friend had shut. She placed her fingers on her tingling lips. Her cheeks a faint cherry colour. She realised with a surge of guilt that that was her first kiss. Sure, she'd been going out with Tyson for a month and a bit, but that didn't mean they did anything more than hold hands. Tyson had been so immature when she'd mentioned it.

She flung herself onto the huge four-poster bed and sighed, wondering if all kisses sent a small tingle through your body and a shiver of delight through your spine.

End Flashback...


Hilary felt an impulse to get up, she needed to talk to him. She needed to let him love the girl in his arms without him feeling guilty. She needed to be able to think without her guilty conscience sending a wave of foreboding into her stomach.

She knelt don't to the sleeping couple. Gently shaking her blue-haired youth back into consciousness. His eyes opened slowly, widening in horror as he realised who it was, and then at his dark-eyed beauty who slept soundly in his arms.

"Hilary!"

"Hush, don't worry Tyson. This is going to sound pretty strange to you but..." She took a deep breath before saying it, hoping the answer was the one she wanted, washing away all the guilt and torment that had filled her. "You do love her right?"

His eyes dulled with affection as he glanced at her.

"I... I'm sorry Hilary, I didn't mean to, I didn't want to!" He tried to apologize, his eyes widened as he saw relief and joy flood her eyes.

"Look after her okay? Oh Tyson, I suppose deep down we both knew that it was never going to work... friends?" She asked him, he looked shocked, then realised what she was going. His face lit up.

"You don't mind?"

"Nope, though you could tell me her name."

"It's Zoriaida. Zoriaida of the Espanola Angeles." His voice softened and tightened his grip on her. Hilary felt a lump in her throat.

"Take good care of her Tyson. If not, I'll kill you." She whispered quietly before walking off.

I guess I cared more than I thought I did. Or am I just upset because my love loves likes me as just a friend? Her mind wandered to Osiris then blocked it.

She felt someone grab her hand and pull her away from the small crowd of people. She gasped slightly as she was taken into the cockpit.

She turned around and blushed, her eyes began to spill tears as she looked away.

"I knew you'd be upset." He murmured tenderly to her whilst wiping a stray tear from her cheek. "You might have never thought so, but I knew you would be."

"They looked so happy together Osiris... They're so happy..." She sobbed. "I... I never loved him Ose, I... I know that now."

He closed his eyes, not wanting to see her anguish.

If only you knew Hilary. Yet why can't I tell you?

"Hi- Hilary?" He managed to stutter, he vaguely wondered why his voice was like that and what on earth he was doing.

She looked straight into his eyes, he felt another over whelming urge to help her heal. Help her heal from everything.

One kiss to show everything.
