30: Freedom of Forget

Disclaimer: (Yawn). I still don't own Beyblade and I doubt I will anytime in the future either. Although I do own all my OC's in the story including Kat and Whisper.

Emma: So what do you think of Shadow Whisper then, Kat, Kai?

Kat: He's scary. (Hide behind Kai).

Kai: I haven't seen him yet. (Look at Kat strangely hiding in his scarf).

Emma: I could introduce you to him? (Sly).

Kai: Sure, I don't see what could scare Kat about him. It's only Whisper.

Emma: (Smirk, yell). Hey Tala.

Tala: (Walk in smiling). You called. Hi Emma, Kai, Kat.

Kai and Kat: Err, Hi.

Emma: Hi Tala.

Kat: Why aren't you evil?

Kai: I'd watch it, it's probably an act set up by my Grandfather.

Emma: No guys, Tala's not evil, he just gets forced into doing evil stuff by Voltaire or is possessed by something or someone, Shadow Whisper at the present time. Which reminds me. Could you introduce him to Kai, Tala?

Tala: What happens if I go mad again? I'll wreck your house.

Emma: Mum won't mind. (Murmur). I hope. (Normal). Anyway, I'm grounded enough as it is. For not doing my homework. (Glare at Kai who smirks).

Tala: If you really want. (Launches Whisper). Come out and Play Shadow. (Shadow Whisper appears and screams at Kai and Kat. Kat yelps and grabs hold of Kai's scarf too hard and chokes him. Kai turns pale because of the lack of air).

Kat: See I told you. (Looking at Kai's 'scared' pale face).

Kai: (Chock). I'm not scared. (Cough). You just…(Wheeze). Chocked me.

Kat: Yeah right. Come on, who wouldn't be scared. Hide me. (Grab hold of Kai's neck and jump on his back).

Kai: Chocking. (Cough). Help, me.

Tala: That enough?

Emma: Ner, let Kai suffer. Maybe he'll do my homework next time. (Smirk at chocking teen).

Kai: Why do you always…(Cough). Seem to…(Wheeze). Manage to get...(Chock). Back at me?

Emma: Because I'm a Bandit, because…Hang on, I'm not Jay. Because I can Kai, simply because I can.

Tala: I agree with Kat. You should be the evil one in this fic. (Eyes glaze over and get an evil look). But none shall be as evil as me. Mwahahaha…(Cough). Jeez.

Kai: Kat get off me.

Tala: (Look over at Kat with bright red angry eyes).

Kat: He's scaring me.

Emma: What the hell doesn't in these things?

Kai Phoenica: Thanks again, glad I got it right, I guess I do sometimes and don't others. Oh, and thanks for the offer, and even if it would make it better, I'm gonna have to say no, I'm going to do this on my own, I've decided that now. Thanks for the offer though and for the review.

storm-of-insanity: Thanks for the reviews. All (counts) cant remember. I'm especially glad I got the description right. . Oh and this is season one, (since I haven't seen much of others) and it isn't really in a timeline, it just happens. Lets just say I only wrote this on a whim after a one off episode, but I gathered info and here it is. So thanks or the names from Chapter 3 but I've already got them. Sorry, I should go back and edit it out but I can never get around to it. For Chapter 16, well, you must have found out so I won't bother explaining . Thanks for the name but its already up, I was kinda impatient to thought of a rubbish one, although your suggestion was awesome it sound really cool. Thanks but sorry. Glad u like Jay and the jacket bit, I liked that too. Umm, I'm not really that blood thirsty, I just write like it, I really don't no why, I can stand blood and everything but I'm not obsessed with it. And yeah, I admit, this is all OTT and plot less but who acres, if you guys like it then I'm fine with it. AND oh, I've just had SATs (I almost died or boredom) so I'm test free for a while so I'm not gonna stop writing. I'll try and read your story if you want, but I'm in the middle of someone else's too right now so it might take a while. Sorry. Thanks again anyway. You'll find out what happens now . So, I think I covered everything. .

''Don't think you can get away from me Kai.'' He growled. Kai smirked.

''I don't think, I know.''

''Then you know nothing.'' Voltaire snapped. Kai smirked.

''I know I have a knife in my pocket and also yours in my hand. I know it won't take long to bleed you dry with two of them.'' Kai sniggered.

''You wouldn't.'' Kai paused. No, even though Voltaire was his Grandfather, an evil devil re-incarnated Grandfather, but still, he was Kai's only family. Kai sighed. He wouldn't. He bent down and grabbed the ropes that had previously tied him. Holding the Knife at Voltaire he ordered.

''Turn round and on you knees.'' Voltaire didn't budge but a swift cut on his cheek by Kai's blade changed his mind.

''So long, Voltaire. So long…'' Kai said tying the ropes roughly. He walked out of the door glaring back at his Grandfather. ''Grandfather.'' He murmured pocketing the knife with his other one as he turned and sprinted along the dark corridors of the Black Bandit Mountain Range H.Q dungeons.

Pain. Indescribable Pain. Immense pain. Everything Kat thought about now was pain. She couldn't stop it. Couldn't cure it. And had no hope in hell of trying to ignore it. Slashes now lined her limbs. Cuts covered her chest and back. Scars would cover her face. Right now she could feel three deep cuts on her face at least that may forever leave her scarred. One on her left cheek running from her cheek bone across her eye and onto her forehead, and two, one small and one big, covering her other cheek from just under her chin to just below her other eye. (Like Kai's shark fins but longer and made of blood!). Her arms were so covered that's he couldn't describe it. And she thought that she would always wear trousers only to hind her BB mark on her leg. Now it would be to cover the tens of scars there including the one that had made her lose the ability to move her left leg to any use.

Tala held off his offence for a while. Kat sighed and closed her eye, savouring the pleasant tone of tranquillity and exile of pain. After the attacks didn't come for a few more moments Kat opened her uncut right eye to look at Tala. The red head stood now looking rather confused as he looked down at the spinning blade. Whisper, now known as Shadow Whisper or Shadow, stood behind him, snorting impatiently.

''I don't understand.'' Tala said, suddenly with a lot kinder voice. Kat lifted her head and slowly sat up on her side. What was up with red head?

''Last time I felt something I was…''

''You were what?'' Kat's voice cut him off. He looked across at her shocked.

''How, how did you get like that?'' Kat was now the confused one.

''You did this too me.'' A gasp was heard and then a loud neigh of disapproval as Shadow lunged. Tala abruptly glared and suddenly Shadow disappeared. Banished back to his Blade by his 'master'.

''How did I do this to you?''

''You don't remember do you?'' Tala shook his head.

''Typical.'' Kat muttered. She tried to rise onto her legs and managed, just about anyway, and stood lopsided on her only good leg.

''You and your blade did this. You cut me, you hurt me, and you scarred me. And you're saying you, the great ruler of Shadow Whisper, don't remember anything?'' Tala simply nodded.

''All I remember is this lab place, this silver blade and then nothing but black space.'' He informed Kat. ''Who are you anyway?''

''The names Kat. Ring a bell, the pathetic weakling, good-for-nothing trainer of a weak bit-beast.'' Tala still looked confused. '''Bitch' if you're Emica.'' Kat muttered for her own pleasure which made her smile a bit. She'd need all the humour she could get to lift her spirits from here on out. Tala shook his head again.

''I don't remember anything, only now I've got this really bad headache, it hurts like hell.''

''Try this…'' Kat began indicating her own body. ''And then you'll know what true hell is.''

''Why'd he stop attacking? And why the hell is Kat standing up? With the beating she took she shouldn't be able to.'' Emica cursed. Mecca just looked on from his seat.

''And you see me caring because…?''

''You're not meant to be on her side.'' Emica snapped.

''Who said I was, she can die for all I care. And guess what, I don't.'' Emica nodded.

''I'm going down there to sort things out and inflict some of my own…ideas, on Kat. Bye Mecca, hope you enjoy the show.'' She walked off and back down the stairs. Mecca sat in silence for a while before getting up and walking down the stairs as well.

''I still don't see why Tala gets to have all the fun.'' Ian complained.

''He's team leader, he always gets the privileges.'' Bryan stated.

''Yeah, but put it this way, maybe it went wrong.'' They all sighed and continued to walk behind Boris as they approached Kai's cell.

Kai's head appeared from behind the corridor they had just left. His black outfit torn and tattered, blood covering his face but his hair was unmistakable. Grey spikes finished with dark blue hair behind, this was Kai all right. What went wrong? He thought suspiciously. He decided to follow to check it out.

''Yeah, you never know, Tala might have still been too weak.'' Spencer continued.

''Tala and weak should never be in the same sentence. If I was him, I'd get you back for that.'' Ian said.

''Nor should 'Ian', 'is' and 'short' but I just said that and I don't see you doing anything about it.'' Bryan smirked as his team-mate growled. Kai continued to creep behind his old team. Boris was still leading silently in front of them as he walked through the long maze of stone corridors. Come on give me the answer all ready.

''It is so highly unlikely that Tala couldn't control Shadow Whisper, I could bet against it by saying Ian won't grown another inch in the next hundred years. Tala, lose his memory, yeah right.'' Spencer said holding off a now furious Ian. Boris just growled.

''Silence.'' He snarled. The boys quickly obeyed. Kai smirked. Bingo. Now all I have to do is find Kat and make sure that Tala has lost his memory, then maybe we could use it to our advantage. Maybe Tala will remember some things. Like what the abbey was like, then maybe I will remember them? Kai quickly slunk back into the shadows.

''We're here.'' The engine was abruptly turned off and they fell back into silence. Jay then opened the door and walked out to the other car nearby to them, a jet black shining Lotus Elise with a dark blue Porsche parked beside it.

''You took your time Jay Jay.'' Said a female bandit dressed in total black twirling a lock of long black plated hair between her fingers as she lent against Kat's Elise packed there by the person in question earlier that evening, well, morning now since it was around 4:30. Her car was parked beside it, she wouldn't be needing it for a while.

''No hello, well, I shouldn't expect it from you.'' The woman glared at him and stopped twisting her hair for a second before returning to her normal composure of crossed arms. ''I had to pick up some guests.'' Jay said indicating the Bladebreakers. ''It took them some time to get ready.''

''Simple nobodies. Why'd you bring them anyway? They won't be able to handle anything we could.'' She said simply.

''Look, Jet, shut up and listen to me. Is the boss here?'' The female paled slightly.

''No, and as far as I know, he's not anywhere around here within the next million light years.''

''What!'' Cried a confused Jay.

''He's dead dimwit. Killed last week, well, assassinated last week, some secret service for across the seas, America if I heard rightly, wanted revenge, who doesn't in this game. Surprised you haven't heard, that means your…well you know.'' (I have nothing against Americans it's a great country, Florida is gorgeous I went on holiday there). Jet finished and smirked at him.

''Yeah I know, but…Why the hell wasn't I informed?'' Jay yelled.

''The post was late.'' She said sarcastically to which Jay groaned muttering, 'I knew I should have got another letter box', she just rolled her eyes. ''I dunno do I, I'm not the messenger boy, that's Zero's job.''

''When I see Zero next tell him to be wearing armour and to run as fast as bloody hell.'' Jay growled. Jet smirked.

''Look Boss just get this over with. Mac's dead ok, nothing's gonna change that. Now, I seem to remember you saying you wanted help rescuing Kat.''

''Are you the only one who came?'' Jay asked.

''Yep Boss, I think Red is getting the 'copter ready, god only knows why, but it's just you and me and those Bladers.''

''I was hoping it was going to be you, me, those Bladers and Mac, Red, Zero, Fly and Daz, not just what you said.'' Jay said doubtfully. ''This is only a notch above what Kat did, and you don't want to see the pictures on her camera, the beating she's taken, well, death would have been a lot easier. And besides, Mecca and Emica are there.'' Jet visibly cringed, her eyes darkening.

''But Kit Kat can handle it right, I knew her for a while, on both sides, and well, she's not exactly your average bandit, let alone a simple kid.'' Jet said reassuringly although forever smirking and glaring.

''Loosen up; I'm boss now, for some bizarre reason…''

''That happens to be your Mac's nephew.''

''Ok, that's really why but I, as boss, know she will pull through.'' He couldn't help but gulp.

''For more good points, the others might be coming, maybe a few more, but well, their virtually on the other side of Japan or further, and even at the speed that Kat travels they won't be getting here within the next hour. They all fled when they heard boss, Mac, was dead. The Thunderbirds are no more.'' She smirked. ''Now your boss, can we at least change the name?'' Jay smirked.

''No.'' He turned back to the 4X4. ''Guys, come out here. We're going.''

Emica walked along the darkened corridors that she had called her home for so long. So many years had passed in her life now, since she had become what she was now, that she had forgotten how long she had walked these corridors without fear. She was 28 now, still young, and beautiful, if she could add, and had spent most of her life here. Partly because like many of the Bandits here, she had no where else to go. Her parents had been very poor, so somehow they ended up borrowing money they couldn't return off of Silva, when the bill came, their lives were replaced instead of cash and she was taken as the interest. It was said, around these corridors, that the Rebel had had the same fate as the Elite. Bar the fact that the teen had been rich and had been robbed instead by the Bandits when her Parents had been killed, her brother had been the one that did this, apparently left the house open as he fled so they stole everything and credit cards as well taking the bank money with it. But that was just rumour and rumour meant nothing to Emica, the bitch would always be her enemy, for being her superior for too long.

The Elite quickly found the door to the arena and bursting in through it was met by nothing but conversation. She was confused. Why? Why was Kat on her feet and talking to the boy that was meant to kill her? Then she growled. Placing her finger to her ear she yelled.

''Butch, Dominica, listen up. I want grey-hair and specks up here now, red head's lost his memory.'' She turned and growled a Tala.

''You, get here.'' She ordered. Tala suddenly smirked; he hadn't forgotten his hate for Emica anyway.

''No.''

''You wanna bet.''

''What's the wager?'' Kat piped in. Emica's growl grew louder. Baring her teeth she walked towards Kat whose competitive smirk gradually lessened as Emica drew out her daggers.

(Has Kat got herself too deep in now? Will Kai get there to help her in time? What's going to become of Jet, Jay and the Bladebreakers? Find out next time, only if your review. Cya)
