"Friendship crumbles at the grasp of my hands"
Chapter One: Message of the phoenix
Rain poured relentlessly on the city of Moscow. The streets below were drenched in the onslaught of rain drops, and rain slowly continued to fall. Busy people were hurryingly to escape the rain, and puddles of water were rippled caused by the thundering of footsteps. Thunder sounded in the distance, almost like a trumpet blaring in the distance, then fading to the gentle sound of rain. Lightning flashed soon afterwards, leaving the city in the flash of white light, before returning to the normal hue of colour.
People were running towards the nearest shelter they were able to find. And that goes the same for four teenagers running in the drenched streets of Moscow. Lightning flashes again, and their pace quickened, determined to reach the hotel in the distance. Rain and thunder continued to sound in a harmonic symphony, and the four kids had finally reached their much desired destination. The sound of rain continued to fall onto the hotel structure, but the sound of thunder had been muffled to silence of a soft hum. There were many people in the hotel, hurrying this way and that to treat the new arrivers in the building. Many of which were drenched from head the toe. The manager at the desk looked disdainfully at the puddles of water caused by the four teenagers and slowly made his way forward.
"Excuse me gentlemen, would you prefer not to further cause a mess in the hotel lobby? Perhaps you would like me to call your parents to escort you home?" The manager stiffly eyed the four teenagers, which was followed by a quick cough into a white handkerchief. The teen in the middle glared at the manager, and began his onslaught of complaints. "EXCUSE ME for ruining your precious carpet..but for your information it is RAINING outside so obviously when we walked in HERE..it would be obvious that the CARPET would get WET!" The teen huffed in attempt to regain a bit of oxygen, after the long run, and after several failed attempts he rudely made the puddle of water on the floor even bigger.
The manager disdainfully looked at the teen in the middle, and attempted to call security but was stopped before he could make an attempt. "Excuse us sir, sorry for our rudeness.." One of the four teens had managed to gasp, after recovering from the long run. "Our friend here, might have suffered a mild case of "stupidness" from being in the rain too long.." The first teen glared angry at the other teen, and began rolling up his sleeves before getting stomped on by his blond hair friend. "Tyson..let Ray talk okay?" The blond haired teen named Max had managed to whisper in between Tyson's gasps of pain. Tyson mutely hopped on his foot, and max gave Ray thumbs up to continue. Ray smiled gratefully at the blond haired boy and continued his apology before the manager really lost his patience. "As I was saying..my friend there didn't mean to..uhh..ruin your carpet in any way..but we just wanted to know if you had a room available for us to stay here for the night..?" Ray politely asked which was followed by a quick smile to show his sincerity. The manager eyed his suspiciously and continued his trademark frown. "Aren't you "kids" a little young to be staying in this hotel?" The manager smirked and once again coughed in his handkerchief.
Tyson was about to say something again but was held back by Max, and the last of the four teens, Kenny, who seemed to be struggling with holding Tyson still. Ray decided to try again. "..Well obviously we would know that a fine hotel like this would require a suitable cost..er…how much would it be for one room just for the night?" Ray asked, once again with the sincere smile. "Since you have ruined my carpet..I would have to charge you extra for destruction of property…$5000." The manager would have put a much higher cost, but he seemed to be relatively affected by ray's compliments. "WHAT $5000! TAKE A HIKE GRANDPA!" Tyson furiously yelled, causing several by passers to look at him strangely. Tyson angrily made a lunge at the manager and was restrained by all three teens. The manager looked ruffled but none the less, quie angry and flustered. "Excuse me young man..but I think it would be a relative price that people would be able to afford…" With that the manager called security and the huge bulky guards ushered the teens away from the manager.
"Wait!" Ray hopelessly called into the moving crowd as he was pushed further and further away from the confinements of the hotel. With one final shove, the guards pushed the teens out of the lobby and onto the cold streets of Moscow.
Kai glanced downward into the streets of Moscow. He watched dazedly out the window, and glanced at the blurred images on the street. The rain continued its gentle patter on the window, and Kai sighed. The lightning had stopped now, and Kai was guessing that the rain would continue overnight. The lights in his hotel room dimly reflected against the window panes, and Kai scanned his grey eyes across the room. There was a king sized, four poster bed by the wall, and the room branched off into several areas. There was the door, directly parallel from the window, and there was a seating area by the door. The plasma television was left unattended in front of the massive bed, and the walls opened on either sides of the television to access into the kitchen. The kitchen had sleek black countertops, and there were shiny aluminum pots and pans hung cleanly on the hooks. There was hardly ever a need to cook, especially since there was room service. There was a bathroom at the far corner of the room, and it contained a large Jacuzzi bathtub. Across from the kitchen, there was a small bar area, and a small wine cup lay on its side.
Kai sat on the couch by the window, and stared at his own reflection. The same blue dual hair and cobalt blue triangles appeared in the reflection. His grey eyes scanned the city below once again, and his mind wandered aimlessly. He stared out the window, and felt as if he were looking at the world through a wall. He looked at everyone through a wall, trapped and always feeling lonely. He could always feel their presence, but he would always feel isolated. He closed his eyes, and frustratingly clenched his fist. An opened letter lay on the bedside table. The envelope written in black ink with loopy handwriting fluttered to the floor. The letter lay crumpled in a ball, and the writing was barely recognizable. There was a single object that sat on the coffee table. A cobalt blue blade with reddish trimmed edges sat glowing in the light. The bitchip lit on it's own before slowly fading once again. A red phoenix stared off into the space of the room, before resting in its blade, and watching worriedly at its master.
As Kai was still staring out the window, he failed to notice the weird actions of his blade. His attention was caught by the people that were suddenly rushed out of the hotel by the guards. There seemed to be some kind of fight going on, and he some feeling that it had to do with Tyson. He smirked, and sighed inwardly to himself. Looks like they would spend the night in a jail cell at this rate… Kai thought to himself. He slowly got up off the couch, and grabbed his coat. Even though many times he had thought to himself, these people were nothing but bladers, he couldn't lie to himself that he treated them like friends. Somewhere deep inside his mind, he knew they were more than just bladers and team mates. He sighed once again when he thought of the word friend. There would always a wall stopping him from stating the truth of friendship. With one final thought, he put on his coat and slowly grasped the brass handle, and finally closed the door.
Tyson had really done it this time. He had gotten into quite a fight with the manager and now he was almost attacking the security guards. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!" Tyson hollered as he was being held by two guards, and continued his pointless struggle. "Tyson calm down! You would only make things worse!" Kenny commented. Being the smallest of the four teens, he only managed to squeak quietly in the presence of the huge guards. Tyson furiously glared at him, and Kenny took shelter behind Max, who seemed to be unaffected by Tyson's anger. "Tyson..stop!" Ray reasoned as he tried to get his friend to calm down, before the security guards got any angrier. The guards held Tyson by the collar and he Tyson was being lifted pretty high. "I WOULD IF THEY LET GO OF ME!" Tyson yelled before he was dropped painfully onto the hard cobbled cement below.
"TYSON!" The group of teens yelled and ran toward their injured friend. "Are you okay?" They managed to ask after they helped him into an upright sitting position. "Ugh..i think I might have sprained my wrist or something.." Tyson groaned and got up. Kenny and Max helped Tyson onto his feet, and Ray glared at where the guards last were. But they were no where in sight. They noticed that Tyson had a bruised cheek, and his shoulder was cut and starting to bleed. He held his wrist with his other hand, and Ray glanced around for a pharmacy. "We got to get that cut cleaned.." Ray muttered to himself. Just then the golden doors of the hotel had swung open and a figure dressed in black coat came out toward them. "Kai..?" Kenny gasped as he adjusted his glasses. The other team members started at their team captain for a moment. Kai took one glance at Tyson and motioned them to follow. "But..we can't go back in there…the manager was a total jerk…" Max began. "Yeah..and we don't have a room…" Ray had ended but Kai took his room key from his pocket. They smiled happily and followed him inside the hotel.
They couldn't help but gasp in awe as they walked into Kai's hotel room. The view was absolutely magnificent and the furniture was so luxurious. Kai hadn't even been amazed by the hotel room's interior, but his team mates were examining the room in detail. "Oh wow..look at that!" Max pointed with his finger. "Oh cool! It's a finger!" Tyson exclaimed as Max smacked his lightly on the head. Ray was glad that Tyson's fall didn't affect his sense of humor. He decided to help Tyson bandage his wounds and was going to ask Kai where the first aid box was. Just when he wanted to ask, he saw hat the box was left beside him, and Kai was sitting by the window again. Ray smiled and made Tyson sit on the bed while he cleaned his cuts. There was a lot of fusing and complaining from Tyson but he was as good as new now.
Kai continued to stare out the window as the others were flipping through the channels on the television. Tyson took advantage of Kai not paying attention and jumped on his bed. He bounced happily until Ray pulled him onto the couch. As Ray and the others were watching television, Tyson noticed there was a piece of paper sticking out of the drawer. Probably Kai hid it from us when we came in..Tyson thought about leaving it alone, but it was way too good of a chance. He reached into the drawer and pulled out the letter, but something had fallen onto the floor, from the envelope. Tyson reached downward to pick it up, before it was quickly snatched away from him.
Kai glared angrily at Tyson and his eyes narrowed dangerously. Tyson had managed a quick glimpse at the object and gasped. "You…still have Black Dranzer!" He cried. That got the attention of the others and they glanced at Kai from behind the couch. "..Kai do you still have Black Dranzer?" Ray asked, and turned off the television in fury. Kai shoved the object and letter in his pocket and muttered, "None of your business," before walking out the door. Tyson grabbed his shoulder and yelled "I know you have Black Dranzer..you're just like before..wanting so much power that you would destroy everyone just to achieve that goal! You're nothing but a selfish jerk!" Tyson yelled and reached into his pocket. Kai managed to punch Tyson in the face before wrenching the door open. This time Ray stopped him and in his fury he had punched Kai. Kai fell to the floor, and his hair shadowed his eyes, but they could see a thin trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth.
Ray stood there frozen at what he had done, and he extended an arm to help Kai up. Kai angrily swatted the arm away and ran out the door, slamming the door behind him. The others followed him and with so much people in the lobby, Kai couldn't move as fast as he would like to. Ray, being the fastest of the group grabbed the tail end of Kai's billowing white scarf and pulled Kai onto the floor. Kai almost chocked at the sudden movement, and felt himself slam onto the marbled floor.
Somewhere back in the hotel room, the cobalt blue blade glowed steadily, unable to warn his master of the dangers that lay ahead…
