A.C.: Episode number 48 of G-revolutions must be cursed I swear. Every time I try watching it, something comes up. Like the show had been bumped up a few hours and I have to go to school. Or it's aired at 4 friggin am in the morning... but I love episode 48 so much ;.; Did you know that in all seasons, episode 48 features the best of Kai-tastic action? Coincidence perhaps?
"NOVA ROG!" for a split second there was an image of a woman made up entirely of ice, walking in the snowstorm before she was swallowed up by the approaching wolf beast and the shower of ice and crystals that accompanied it. The fountain froze, scattering droplets of ice on to the ground, people fled screaming as the hospital staff tried to restore order, and to try and stop the two Russians before they brought the ice age down upon them all.
"Yuriy what!" Kai jerked his hands directing Dranzer towards safety. The said firebird flared up in a majestic shield of fire as she tore down the ice rink and melted off the freeze.
'I didn't... order her to do that...'
He looked up at Yuriy, his captain, his leader, his lover... eyes cast in the shadows as they fought, the field of ice the only thing that was keeping them from reality and the storm of doctors and nurses around them.
Dranzer screamed at the wolf provoking the beast further as her intense heat began to melt off the glacier that was the fountain. Their eyes met for a moment, deepest of all sapphire on ruby, but she looked away. She would not obey him, not when he was...
'Weak'
He had been foolish enough to show his weakness
That's why...
Dranzer flew down the thin sheet of ice as Wolfborg charged forward, congealing whatever she had managed to melt down. But the blade was not in tune with her blader, she would not last long against the battle against the hungry wolves.
"DRANZER!"
Yuriy watched in mild satisfaction as a shield of flames were erected around the blue blade. The out modeled top was already weakened, being forced to compete against a healthier and more powerful rival than she. The blade was not strong enough to withstand the backlash of her own attack should she try to use any of her more powerful moves and Kai knew it. Yuriy would be given time to play with his prey before finishing it.
Kai watched in silent horror as Dranzer was pushed back, what was the redhead trying to prove? The Neo Borg captain was injured beyond what he actually let on, their stamina at rock bottom and if anything falling lower. What was the point?
'Weak...'
What happened to you? What happened to your pride, why are you so weak?
"Flame Saber!"
"Blizzalog!"
Weaker, but no less intense twister hail buried him knee deep in snow, anchoring him there as Yuriy prepared his last move.
"Become stronger grandson and you will rule the world"
"Black Dranzer will ensure you victory"
"Don't interfere..."
"Dranzer..."
Why did the opponent always have green eyes? From Black Dranzer to Zeo, Brooklyn, and now even Yuriy.
'I don't want to fight...'
'Not you...'
"THAT'S ENOUGH!"
Dranzer embraced the slate haired Russian within her crimson wings, the red feathers tickled his throat as the precious seconds slipped by, but Kai had gotten her message. The wings parted like blinds and as if it were for the first time, Kai stepped back into reality.
He blinked, all the ice had melted off, even some of the fountain was sinking into the ground. On the other side was Yuriy, Wolfborg motionless as his master. Kai's heart sank rapidly as he ran towards the other Russian, nearly falling as he caught Dranzer.
Yuriy looked up, only one of his eyes visible through the bandaging.
"So, you won. Ch."
The usually wild red hair was limp, soaked, then rapidly dried over heat. Yuriy smirked the infuriatingly charming wolfish grin before swaying, almost falling over as Kai caught him in his hands.
"You are weak..." whispered Yuriy as Kai began to call for help.
"Shut up Yuriy, now is not the time!"
Yuriy's thoughts were tinged with regret, regret at what he was about to do, what he had done and what would happen to the young phoenix at his rash actions.
And as the doctors and nurses swarmed them, separated them, Yuriy whispered,
"I don't need you..."
The last thing Kai saw of Yuriy that day were the icy blue eyes frozen to the core. The only thing he heard that day were the multiple meaning of those words stabbing his back and heart till they bled him out into oblivion.
Tears didn't come for all had been spent fighting the inferno in his eyes.

They leave for one day, actually no, not even half a day, more like quarter a day in which their fearless leader goes on a kamikaze mission to raise the phoenix from the ashes. Boris was pissed as hell as he was left with all the papers when Sergei went off to buy more food, and Ivan to check on Kai.
One day left till the tournament was all that blared out of TV and radio until Boris gained half a mind to break them all as he furiously signed the papers regarding damages on the hospital staff and the hospital itself.
Yuriy was in coma, again.
As for Kai, he wasn't exactly sure what happened to Kai. He was curled up into a fetal position last time he checked and was willing to bet his next pay that Ivan wasn't going to change that. Unless of course the navy haired Russian decided to rile Kai up enough into destroying all hospital facilities.
"Oy I'm hungry, is Sergei back yet?"
Absentmindedly tossing the nearest nurse the completed papers and moving on to the next Boris replied,
"No, how's Kai?"
Ivan shrugged as he stood next to Boris, the navy haired blader just barely tall enough to look over the counter.
"Same as always, I can't tell if he's asleep or not. Would tell you but he threatened to tweak off my nose." as if to prove his point, the shorter Russian patted his nose in a reassuring way.
"Sounds like Kai, well since you're here." malice glinted in Boris' eyes as he pushed the stack of paper in front of Ivan with the pen neatly on top of it. "Why don't you do the paperwork while I check on Kai?" strings of curses, thankfully in Russian to spare all the other people, aimed at his back Boris climbed up the stairs to the fourth floor.
"Aww man, now how am I going to reach for the pen."
Later when Sergei returned with groceries, he was treated with the site of a navy haired Russian standing in a chair to sign all the papers. It had never occurred to the Wyborg wielder that he could simply bring the papers down to a manageable level.

"Sir, you should be in bed. You've received..."
"I'm not leaving, go away."
Kai stood, remnants of his clothing carelessly tossed on as he assessed the damage that had been dealt to the Wolfborg blader. The said blade was a mere chip now, the vessel to hold the mutated wolf within.
The chip glowed in teal in animosity before lighting up benign pastel shade as the once proud phoenix looked down at Yuriy.
His captain
His first friend
His leader
His lover...
The words the redhead had uttered had not been cleared from his mind, they reverberated around the shallow cavity of his heart, driving the stake in deeper. Beside the pillow, on the small corner table there was a miniature blade composed entirely of blue and white metal. In a flash of warm gold and red, the regal emblem of the phoenix appeared on the center, prominent within her cage of blue.
Kai held the blade within his hands looking back down at unconscious Yuriy. Pocketing Dranzer he lowered his head in a burst of inspiration, kissing the redhead tenderly on the forehead. Kai gave the bandaged fingers a squeeze,
"Good bye Yuriy..."

"Kai's gone"
"Shouldn't we go after him?"
"There's no point, not when..."
"Shit"

An abandoned warehouse by the docks. Except right now it was not so abandoned. It had been the former base of Blade Sharks, a gang he had one led a long time ago. But that was past history as Dranzer reminded him when she darted towards him in no amount of small fury as he jumped away, safe for now.
Frustrated the the blue blade homed in on another target, a stray cat that was staring imploring at him begging for food.
"No get away!" he tossed the launcher at the cat earning an enraged hiss from it saving its life from a possible shredding from Dranzer.
"You're totally out of control," he said to Dranzer, "I can't control you." disagreeing, Dranzer flew towards his face, burying herself in the thick walls as Kai stood up with the launcher in hand. "I don't get it though, why can't I control you?" the Russian blader extracted the blue blade from the walls, securing it to the launcher.
"But I'm not giving up yet." he launched the blue blade yet again, much to his disappointment Dranzer hid herself amongst the numerous boxes and barrels. Fortunately her winding sound was very much audible and he was able to dodge when she flew forth from her lair. As he turned around to face her once more, a green and red blur knocked her into the air.
"What?" composing himself he asked, "Who's there?"
A man with wavy blond hair stepped forward, his red and green blade now revealed to be in the shape of a rose spinning placidly in front.
He looked familiar, the manager of the Sangre F? The man with droopy enough eyes to rival Balcov's? The one in charge of the twin bladers he had first fought in the tournament...
"Romero was it? What are you doing here?" Kai deadpanned, hinting that the man was not welcome. The blond however ignored the warning staring at the fallen Dranzer MS.
"You seem to be having trouble controlling your blade," spoke Romero in a thick spanish accent, "Would you like help?"
"No," sneered Kai picking up Dranzer from the floor. "Why don't you go home? I don't have time for this."
"Oh I understand, you're afraid of losing to me." something snapped within Kai at these words, furious he aimed the launcher at the peaceful air around Romero's face.
"I'll make you eat your words."
Dranzer shot out from the launcher missing Romero's unnamed blade in a matter of few millimeters before rebounding and making an attack at Kai. Kai jumped out of the way as Dranzer turned in the nick of the time from slamming full force into a wall.
"Dranzer!" Crazed with power, the blue top made an attempt at the red and green blade before missing again. "...let it go... it's ok to be angry..." the gears wound faster, grinding against each other.
"Is that all you have?" asked Romero blandly,
"I'm just warming up." Kai sneered,
"Well then, may I be as bold as to attack?" without waiting for an answer Romero called "Levian Rose!"
Thorny vines erupted from the concrete ground as they captured Dranzer squeezing her into a stop. The blades whirled frantically as she struggled to get out but found it impossible as she became buried within the vines.
"Dranzer! Fight it! Don't let it get to you! What the...!"
"Dranzer isn't the one you should be worrying about right now..." said Romero mildly as identical vines emerged from the ground, twining Kai's legs together by burying thorns in them. Kai struggled tearing the skin beneath his clothes, he spat out a curse before realizing that he too was screened within a tangle of thorns.
NO!
He had felt this before, the same immobility, suffocation, torture. Like a frightened animal caught in a trap Kai began to thrash about successfully freeing one arm as he strove to do the same with the other.
"Is it Brooklyn? Why do you hate the boy so much?"
'Amazing, what had taken the others days to accomplish, he does it in a matter of minutes...'
"Anger won't help you now... that's what he wants." Romero was quite impressed with the boy, despite the fact that he was unable to control his own bit beast he was giving quite the fight. He had an unfair advantage over the younger but there was a bigger crisis going on then just with Kai controlling a new blade. Like the looming threat of disqualification if the G-Revolutions didn't find their fifth member soon. The wavy haired blond had an inkling Kai might be it, though right now.
Kai seemed to be in shock, muttering furiously under his breath. Romero caught the few words, Balcov, Brooklyn among many others. But the words were far and few in between and even Dranzer's movements seem to be dying down somewhat.
Darkness fell over them all as Kai began to bathe within the sinister glow. The glazed look upon his face replaced with insanity, he slew the thick vines still growing on top of the other as Dranzer did the same, the two souls reunited as the smoke dissipated and Romero's precious blade rolled to a stop by his feet.
"Oh dear..."
"Leave me be..." Kai hissed and wisely Romero obeyed, somehow managing to walk out of the ware house without sprinting halfway.
Within the cloaking shadows of the warehouse as day turned to dusk, Kai caught the still spinning Dranzer Metal Spiral within his raw hands, a sick smile still lingering on his face. But as he practiced again and again before collapsing, he couldn't help but think out the four words so identically structured to the three he had loved to hear.
"I love you"
