Hey people!
Thank you for the great reviews last chapter!
I was trying hard to make this chapter good, but I think I failed...as always.
I was really wanting the final chapters to go a different way, but it wasn't happening, so you all are just going to have to put up with this.
Anyway...here you go.
Enjoy if you can
Chapter 14 - New Fight With an Old Enemy
Kai spun around to face his enemy, pressing his back closer against the wall.
A menacing chuckle echoed from Boris as lightning crackled overhead, illuminating the surrounding area. He took a step forward, his heavy boots causing a puddle of rain to splash in every direction.
Kai felt his heart rate increase, and his breath began to come in short, quick gasps.
"But..."
"You thought I had perished when the arena collapsed...didn't you?" A smirk crossed the man's bony face. "You thought your pitiful Dranzer had saved you...am I not correct young Kai?" His gloved hand extended towards the frightened teen.
Kai felt the man's cold hand, and as if snapping out of a trance, he suddenly snarled and slapped the hand away from him.
"Heh heh heh..." Boris chuckled with a sadistic smirk. "Why don't you make this easier for yourself and just come with me?"
"Have you already spent all that money I won for you! Why can't you leave me alone!" Kai shouted over the thunder.
"I'm not about to let my prized possession go...and I won't risk someone else taking you from me."
"Then you might as well kill me now!" Kai's feet slid into a fighting stance, raising his fists in front of him.
"So you wish to challenge your master...how pathetic."
"Kai!" Hilary cried as she scurried through the wet streets, holding her umbrella tightly in her hands.
"I can't believe he ran out in this weather! I hope he found shelter..." She paused to pull her cellphone out. Tyson and Rei were out looking for him too, while Max and Kenny stayed at the dojo. They had all agreed to call if anyone found him. That had yet to happen, and an hour had almost passed.
Lightning thundered away in the sky, starling the brunette suddenly. "...and it had to rain!" She sighed, and continued down the street.
Boris charged and threw a punch out at Kai, who jumped and easily dodged it.
"You're still too slow Boris!" The teen smirked, landing a few feet back.
"Well your reflexes are still in top shape...good!"
Kai growled and glared at his enemy.
"Temper temper my young Kai...no need to get all excited now."
"Oh just shut up Boris!" With an angry cry, the teen jumped out with an onslaught of punches and kicks, hoping to throw his enemy off balance.
His plan worked, as his leg found its way behind Boris' and sent him toppling to the ground.
Suddenly, Boris extended his leg, catching Kai right in the stomach.
The unexpected move caught the blue haired teen by surprise, allowing his enemy to grab his arm and with a fierce kick, send him flying over and into the street.
Kai landed hard on his back. That last move nearly knocked the breath out of him.
He groaned as he sat up. Now in the middle of the street, he watched as Boris stood slowly.
"Surrender my young Phoenix. You don't have a chance against me!"
Kai staggered to his feet, holding his chest in pain. "I'm not going back Boris!" He declared bravely, spitting some blood onto the street.
"Heh...that's what you told me three years ago...on the day that Dranzer left you!"
"Dranzer didn't leave me! She was always there, and you know it!"
The fight was interrupted by the horn of a truck, coasting down from the hill and heading straight for Kai.
The teen jumped up and to the side, landing on top of the cab of the truck.
"What the hell? Are you crazy kid?" The driver yelled, sticking his head out the window.
"Shut up and keep driving!" He glared down at the driver.
"Right..."
"I don't think so!" Boris ran over and grabbed the back of the cargo doors.
Kai peered around the truck and saw that Boris disappeared. "I bet he managed to grab on too...at least this will give me a moment to rest..."
Hilary rushed by another alley, but something caught her eye.
She stopped and stared into the dingy alleyway, and suddenly, something sparkling on the ground.
The brunette walked over to the object and bent down to examine it.
She gasped as she instantly recongnized it. "It's...it's Kai's beyblade!"
Standing up straight she looked down the street. "That means he must have gone this way!"
"Indeed he did." A voice came from the alley.
Hilary nearly leapt out of her skin at the sudden voice.
"Who...who are you!"
A dark figure appeared in the back of the alleyway. It was only about 3 feet tall, like a child.
The shadow proceed forward, until a flash of lightning illuminated its features.
The light revealed a small female child, no older than 6 years old. She had snow white hair that trailed down her back, and fiery red eyes.
Hilary gasped. "You...look familiar." She thought back to when she first met a woman that looked exactly like this child...the woman she met under the streets of Russia. "You...you can't be! Dran...Dranzer!"
The child nodded, a smile appearing on her face.
"I knew it! I knew you couldn't die!"
"True. I was reborn into this form. I managed to follow you to Japan, and tracked down Kai, but when I got here, it was too late."
"What do you mean 'too late?"
"Boris found Master Kai..."
Hilary gasped. "But he was..."
"I thought so too, but he managed to escape death. He is trying to take Master Kai back to the rings again."
"No...he can't!"
"I need your help Hilary..." The child walked closer to her. "You need to help me find him! They went down this way..." She pointed down the street. "But we must hurry!"
The brunette nodded. "Let's go!"
