Chapter 6:
"So how are things Robert?" He grinned.
"Why do you want to know?" Enni's former teammate retorted.
"Don't be like that Robert. The Majestics had been going down hill since we got hit by the blade breakers. Speaking of which…" Enni trailed off grinning. He knew how to play Roberts mind. The guy may have been extremely intelligent but he was still human and human beings are curious, vengeful, jealous, etc…
"What?" Robert sipped his wine delicately.
"We're living with them now." Enni said as the waiter arrived, placing the coke before him as though it were a dead frog.
"What would I care for them anyway. I don't know why they want to live around those time bombs."
"Because Balkov tried to kill them, and in the process Gwen destroyed their blades." Enni placed a lot of emphasis on the Gwen's name watching Robert's face change.
"Are they O.K.?" He asked turning away as though he couldn't have cared less.
"They're alright, but they won't be once Boris finds out that we're hiding here. That's why we need you."
"O.K. Enrique, what do you want?" Robert relented.
---
"How is it that with the amount of man power you have you still cannot seem to find a group of CHILDREN?" The large man cried from his extremely cushiony red velvet chair. He ran his fingers along the gold inlay sighing as if he were trying to stop himself from committing a murder. Boris looked over from where he sat near the enormous television where the news was playing on mute.
"I ask you to remember sir that these are not normal children and they are nearly adults for that matter." Boris stopped speaking as Voltaire slammed his hand into the glass coffee table, smashing it.
"Where are they Boris, you have ransacked almost the entirety of Europe and a good part of Asia, how hard can it be to find eight teenagers with uncontrollable powers?" Voltaire exploded but Boris had stopped listening. He was watching the T.V. with much more interest and he turned on the volume.
'This small Canadian town has lately been experiencing strange weather patterns that have somehow stopped for the moment. Only about a week ago there was a sudden electrical storm that lasted for only a brief ten minutes before disappearing completely. This was later followed by a tremendous earthquake that somehow caused almost no damage, this too lasted only briefly. Meteorologists are baffled, they have no idea where this weather has been coming from…here with me is-.' Boris turned off the T.V. smiling.
"It's not going to be hard to find them. Not hard at all, it was only a matter of time."
---
It wasn't just Boris and Voltaire who had seen the news bulletin. The girls had been lounged around the living room flipping channels when they had stumbled across the news broadcast that announced their ultimate doom. A loud cussing suddenly rang through the house and a moment later, the Blade Breakers were downstairs looking a little frightened.
"What just happened?" Ray asked pulling Ari up from where she sat on the floor.
"Boris knows where we are. He has too." Sid looked at the now black screen.
"Well with all the people he has working for him there has to be one of them who saw that." Ari shook, Ray still holding her arm.
Kai looked over at Sid and Gwen who were frozen on the couch. "What are you people talking about?" He asked demandingly.
"This town was just on the news because of all the weather stuff we've been setting off." Gwen was digging her nails into the soft material of the couch. "Where's Enni?" She added in a whisper.
Ari pulled her arm away from Ray, not savagely like she normally would, but absentmindedly as she and Sid wrapped their arms around their friend and fought back their tears each in her own way.
"What are we going to do, run off again?" Gwen sobbed wiping her tears with the hand that wasn't trapped by her friend's comforting pretzel embrace.
"Enni will know." Sid whispered "He's got us out before, he can do it again."
"Yeah cuz he's a champion escape artist." Ari added making them all let out a short tear laden laugh.
The boys just stood there completely helpless, if Boris had found them, would he try to kill them again? Would he take the girls back to complete his experiments? The room soon fell into an eerie silence that not even Tyson was brave enough to break.
---
"Fine!" Robert eventually relented, "I'll bring the rest of the team to the house just give the address to Gustav on your way out." He instructed coldly. Robert and Enni didn't exactly see eye to eye anymore. But Robert still wasn't going to leave him in the lurch. It was more because Robert was well bred and tried to never be the sour loser, also Enni had something he cared for.
He watched the blond down the rest of his coke, failing to hide his look of distaste. Enni grinned at him writing the address on a paper napkin and left with a small, quick nod of his head.
"Uncouth." Robert sighed sipping at his expensive wine.
"Will that be all sir?" The waiter appeared at his side as he finished the glass.
"Yes thank you." He nodded and paid the bill noting the appearance of the fizzy beverage at the bottom.
---
"Girls I'm home!" Enni called cheerily through the house as he walked through the front door. He was greeted with silence. "What's this? No hugs and kisses." He chuckled but stopped as he saw them all gathered in the kitchen silent and scared.
"Enni." Gwen whispered and collapsed in his arms. "I can't do it, I can't run anymore, we can't escape them." She sobbed.
"What happened?"
"Boris is coming for us." Sid muttered into emptiness. "And this was the last place to run too, we've been everywhere else."
"What now Enni? Huh?" Ari hissed angrily. "What do we do now. We are going to die. You have to STOP pretending and stop believing that there's any way to save us." Enni just stood there and took it.
"Would you have preferred living a life as ascience experiment?" He said, his voice was dark and low, he didn't sound at all like the Enni that had come through the door just a moment ago.
"I would have preferred not being alive at all."
"You know I wouldn't let you do that."
"Why not, Taranis and I live in pain and I want it to stop, we live to run from that corrupt idiot who won't leave us alone." Ari spat.
"Yeah well you're not the only one Ari." Gwen retorted from where she shivered in Enni's hold. "Why should you have to kill yourself when we are prepared to keep living. There has to be some kind of end that doesn't involve suicide."
"We have no way of stopping this, we are going to keep losing control until we eventually die from our own strength, because it's not our strength is it!"
"Ari shut-up!" Sid cried smacking her. "You know you can't do it. Rememberwhen Boris almost killed us with one of his machines.You told me you wanted to live. You can't just turn your back when things get hard. We always find a way to get out." Ari made a noise that sounded like she had just let everything she ever felt escape and she sat down heavily on the floor.
"I'm sorry." She whispered. Gwen pulled out of Enni's embrace and knelt on the floor with her friend. It was her turn to give back some of the comfort she had absorbed from them over the years.
The blade breakers watched the scene, thoughts running through their heads so fast they were getting dizzy. They had too many questions, and too many fears. What was going to happen when Boris found them?
---
"Just be there." Robert spat into the phone.
"Fine, fine. Don't start bitching." The arrogant voice replied on the speakerphone. "What about Oliver?"
"He's here." Robert answered. "He'll be coming with me."
"Look I know that you don't really feel like telling stories but just at least give me a basic outline of WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!"
"The girls are in trouble and please clean up your language Johnny when speaking to me."
"Sorry Mr. Prince but I'm going to talk however the hell I want, o.k. Fucker. See you there." Johnny's voice answered and the phone went dead.
"Uncouth little…arg." Robert glared at the phone.
"You should have known better than to try reasoning with Johnny." A boy with longish green hair said from his seat by the fireplace. Robert just grunted in reply. (much like Kai only this is a Robert grunt). "What trouble are the girls in exactly?"
"If I knew I would have told you." Robert answered testily.
"Well those girls always get into trouble." Oliver shrugged. "Remember when they lived in the shelter?" He laughed
"I'd rather not." Robert replied as Gustav appeared with a couple of Martinis.
"You'd think that you'd get drunk all the time with all the alcohol you down." The green-hared boy grinned.
"I would never get drunk if my life depended on it." He retorted.
"Whatever." Oliver shrugged again knocking back the drink.
---
"They're going to have to fight back this time." Kai said while the others sat with him in the living room. "But I don't think they actually know how." A thunderstorm had started outside.
"You could have fooled me the way the took on those guys back in Japan." Tyson said taking off his hat absently.
"Well they didn't actually fight them, they mostly dodged them. They almost only kill people when they lose it, I think." Max thought aloud.
The room went suddenly quiet again as they all waited for Ray to add in his bit. Ray had once been a fighter before, he had been taught to be a master of the martial arts. A samurai among samurai's. But he had left that part of his past after he had accidentally killed one of his opponents. His friends never spoke of it, he had forbidden them too.
"Guys you know I can't …" He put his head in his hand.
"Ray come on." Max pleaded.
"We could all learn a few more fighting skills." Kai agreed.
"Please Ray."
"I don't know how much I will remember." Ray said sullenly.
---
The thunderstorm had gotten worse, and Gwen was alone in her room, she shook in her bed, storms had always scared her ever since she was little. There was a knock at her door and Enni came in looking a little sheepish.
"I figured you'd be a little scared so I thought I'd come keep you company." He grinned.
"Oh wow, you're so generous." Gwen said sarcastically, her eyebrow raised.
"What." He raised his hands in mock defense.
"Are you sure there was no other reason you came here?" She asked knowingly.
"Well…"He stopped and went over to the bed wrapping his arms around her. "To be honest I've been a little worried about you…and I've been a little…let's just say Gwen deprived." He whispered.
"Yeah well we've all been peace deprived." She retorted.
"Listen everything is going to be fine, I'm going to make sure." Enni said leaning forward.
"Oh really how?" She asked leaning away from him.
"Hey what's with the sarcastic pushingoff all of a sudden? I'm actually not trying to get in your pants my love."
"Wow, that's a first, you know you Italians, built for speed." She grinned hesitantly and then let out a small yelp when Enni caught her on the open mouth. He pulled away laughing and she just pretended to pout.
"Damn I missed that." He grinned and she let him kiss her again.
---
Ari was sitting in Sid's room as they watched the rainfall. Her heart pounded loudly in her ears at every clap of thunder her blood rushing through her veins, racing the lightning. She loved this weather and feared it. She was going tobe hurtfrom her air element sooner or later; ironically it would be something she enjoyed so much.
"Stop staring at it Ari. You look possessed." Sid said laying back on the bed.
"Well considering I get possessed by it once a month then I wouldn't be surprised." She retorted averting her eyes from the storm.
"Enni's going to think up a way to save all of us." Sid thought allowed.
"Right." Ari said, her voice dripping with disbelief. "Is he in Gwen's -."
"-Yup." Sid answered.
"Do you think they're -."
"- Probably…do the guys know about -?"
"-Nope."
"O.K. then." Sid nodded asthough satisfied.
"Can I look outside again?" Ari asked
"No." Sid said defiantly. "I don't want you accidentally trashing my room missy."
"Fine." Ari got up and went to the door. "Then I'll go trash mine." She said
"Great." Sid thought allowed again.
---
Ray walked up the stairs to the attic as Ari was going into her room. He smiled slightly and she gave him a warning look.
"If you're hear for me don't bother. I'm not in the talking mood." She growled.
"You don't have to talk then." He grinned and her glare became frigid. "Don' worry sweetheart I'm here to talk to Enni." He grinned reaching to ruffle her hair, just because he liked to piss her off.
"Well Enni's downstairs." Ari retorted shrinking away. "In Gwen's room she added knowing he'd probably go bother Sid although she figured he'd go anyway. "So there is really no point in you being here."
"You really need to loosen up girl." He shook his head hearing he door slamming.
He jumped he next two flights of stairs just to see if he could still land on his feet. He slipped after the first jump but on the second he cleanly planted his feet on the floor making hardly a sound. Satisfied, he made his way to Gwen's room, seeing Sid's door open though he decided to make a short 'visit'.
"Hey." He smiled.
"Why are you so cheerful?" She asked solemnly.
"Well aren't you and Ari a bundle of laughs." He frowned.
"O.K. What do you want Kon?" She sighed getting up.
"I just thought I'd see how you were doing before I went to see Enni, and clearly you're fine so I'll just be on my way." He saluted her going next door.
"You do that…"she froze suddenly. "Ray wait a sec." she called but when she got to him it was too late. He knocked, opening the door to see Enni snogging Gwen passionately on the bed…horizontal on the bed (no they are not having sex, they both have their cloths on they are simply making out for those who don't know what snogging means).
Gwen was the first to see them and she let out a small scream of alarm reflexively pushing Enni off her. He fell onto the floor, rubbing his back.
"Ouch. Jeez, would you mind giving me a little warning next time you…" He trailed off noticing Ray at the door. "Hey Ray what's up…uh so…you wouldn't have happened to see anything that we might have been doing not that I'm saying we were doing anything at all (cough) affectionate." He coughed, mumbling aimlessly. Gwen and Sid slapped their foreheads in frustration.
"Oh my god my boyfriend is an idiot." Gwen sighed and then slapped her mouth. "I didn't just say that out loud…never mind I did." She said.
"Yeah what were you saying about ME being an idiot princess." Enni scoffed.
"Shut up." Gwen hissed under her breath.
"Hey guys I was guessing it anyways O.K." Ray said getting over his initial shock of seeing the more 'innocent' of the three involved in a passionate tongue-boxing match with his rival player.
"Well do me a favor and don't tell anyone, unless you want Ari to remove something your fond of." Gwen threatened. Ray sweat dropped, sighing loudly.
"What is it with you girls tonight I swear to god." He shook his head. "I ain't gonna tell anyone but I think Kai's already guessed." He added "And Max and Tyson should get it in about month or so." He said under his breath. And that was when the doorbell rang.
The group waited in mild surprise until they heard Tyson screaming up the stairs.
"What the HELL, GET OUT THIS GUY'S GONNA KILL US!"
Tno: Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Oh the joy of your tortured cries of anger as you scream at me for having left you with a cliffy. Sure it ain't a great one but nonetheless your current hatred for me is joy to my very soul. Don't get me wrong I love all of you my little kazoos (I'm not entirely sure what that is but whatever). You see you're only going to hate me for a little while until I give your next As One fix and then you'll hate me again, and then you'll be happy, and then you'll hate me. Aaah the cycle works my loves. Now I shall bid you adieu for both Clarence and I since I hope she is in bed and resting her intelligent brain right now for school tomorrow (great --). Anyhoo. Bye bye my fine feathered friends. P.S. (Thank you to a certain someone for the built for speed line, i hope you don't mind but we just had to add it.)
