Chapter 21- The attack, the lesson 2, and the feeling of safety

Me: Chapter numero 21! I am that cool people!

Elisa: Whatever... anyway I hope you picked up on the hint we left last chapter...

Me: I do too... I would be quite sad if you didn't... But on a happier note... THE R.U.C. IS BACK!

Elisa:SCORE! Now...JOHNNY! DISCLAIMER!

Johnny: BXR doesn't own a thing, except the iPod she is currently listening to

Me: Yup, on with the chapter now!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recap:"If course not." I moved closer to Kai and fell asleep.

Chapter Start

I woke up the next morning in Kai's arms. There was a strong feeling of comfort inside me and I wished it would stay there, but I knew I had to get up soon.

"Good, you're up," Elisa began. I looked up and saw that she was already up and dressed. "Get your boyfriend up and get dressed. We're leaving soon."

"I'll get dressed, you get my boyfriend up," I yawned.

"Fair enough."

I got up, grabbed a change of clothes and went into the bathroom to change. I came out in a red My Chemical Romance shirt that said "I don't need your friends, I've got my own", and a pair of Tripp pants. Elisa was gone and Kai was up and half dressed.

"Good morning beautiful," he greeted, kissing me.

"Morning."

"You feeling better?"

"I guess so..."

"Good," he smiled, kissing me again.

I left to go to the living room and see everyone else. On my way there, I passed another hole in the wall. When I got to the living room I asked, "Elisa, what's with the extra hole in the wall?"

"Johnny came by last night after you fell asleep. He went to go check and make sure everything was ok but he didn't like what he saw apparently because he punched a hole in the wall," she explained.

"Nothing happened last night, so what isn't there to like?"

"I dunno," she shrugged.

"Do you know if he still... you know, likes me?" I whispered.

"You know what Nicole, I think he might."

I sighed. Great, another person who's gonna hate me for getting back with Kai. Speak of the devil, just as I was thinking that he came out of our room with his bags and we left. The bus ride was boring. Kenny was talking to Mr. D and typing on his laptop. Elisa was poking Tyson's fat while Max was commenting on how it looked like jell-o. Ray, Kai, and my brother were talking and I was listening to my iPod.

All of a sudden, we heard a helicopter directly overhead, We all looked out a window to see what it was.

"That's Biovolt's helicopter!" Kai exclaimed.

They landed their helicopter on our bus...like 6 times...

"Fuck! Everyone grab their shit and get the hell off the bus now!" I yelled. Everyone did as they were told and we ran out into the snow. 4 rope ladders descended from the helicopter and the Demolition Boys climbed down. Boris stayed on the helicopter and continued to fuck up our bus with the help of Ian and Spencer. Tala and Bryan on the other hand took out their beyblades. I didn't realize they were aimed for me until it was too late. I felt a sharp searing pain in my stomach and I fell to the ground in pain.

I looked at the hand clutching my stomach and noticed that it was stained red with blood. There were two gashes that made an X shape starting from under my chest and going to the opposite side right above my hip. I couldn't get up, all I could do was watch as the snow was being colored redder by the second. While I was down, I didn't know that Ian and Spencer took Tyson and Max's bit beasts.

"Alright boys that's enough!" Boris called. "Save some for the tournament." All 4 Demolition Boys climbed back up into their helicopter and it took off.

"Shit! Nicole are you ok?" Elisa exclaimed.

"Look Mommy, I made red snow!" I joked.

She laughed a little. "Get on my back, I refuse to let you walk in your condition."

"I'll be fine. It's not like I hurt my leg or anything-OW!" I yelled as she touched my stomach.

"Just shut up and get on my back. I'm amazed that you're refusing a free piggy back ride."

"Eh, fine." Kai picked me up and put me on Elisa's back and we started walking.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It felt like we'd been walking for miles. In fact, Kenny actually said that we walked 2 1/2 miles already.

"Elisa, you don't have to carry me," I coughed.

"Yes I do," she argued. "You're in no condition to stand, let alone walk."

"You should have just left me behind..."

"Do I have to smack you? Even if you asked me to I wouldn't have left you for dead out there."

Just then, a bus came driving down the road.

"Tyson!" I yelled. "Jump up and down and make them stop!"

"HEYYYYYY STOPP!" He yelled while jumping up and down waving his arms in the air like a moron. The bus slowed down and stopped. "Thank you! Listen, our bus got attacked and we need a ride."

Oliver got out of the bus. "Depends on how far."

"And who's asking," Enrique added, getting out of the bus.

"Oliver! Enrique!" Tyson exclaimed.

"Elisa, let me down, I want to give my Enrique-poo a hug," I requested. She let me down from her back but I was dizzy from loss of blood and I fell down.

"Nicole! Holy crap what happened?" Enrique asked, rushing over to me.

"The D-Boys attacked our bus... and me..." I explained.

"Johnny's the one with the medical training and he isn't here..."

"He kinda needed the training since he was always braking his bones from punching and kicking things when he was mad," Oliver added. All of us got into the Majestic's bus and drove off. We stopped at the ruins of some old castle. We got off the bus and walked through the gates. I was being supported by Elisa.

"This place is weird," Ray pointed out. The gate flew shut on its own.

"Just a little..." I agreed.

"Ah, it's the uncouth bladebreakers," he heard a voice say. Judging by the vocabulary, we already knew who it was. We turned around and saw...

"Robert?" Tyson asked.

"It's a shame the Demolition Boys had to attack your bus."

"How did you-?" Ray asked.

"And it's just horrible that they had to take Max and Tyson's bit beasts."

"Speak! Where did you obtain this information?" Elisa demanded.

"Oh my god Nicole what happened? Are you ok!" I heard Johnny yell/ He ran up to me and looked at my shirt. Even though it was red you could still tell that it was bloody because it was a darker shade of red where the gashes were.

"Tala and Bryan slashed my stomach with their blades," I explained.

"Come on my bus, I'll help you clean everything up. Elisa you should come too, that way Kai doesn't think anything's going on."

Elisa shrugged and the three of us went on the Majestic's bus.

"Ok, where did you get cut?" Johnny asked me. I traced a line with my finger showing him where the gashes were.

"What are you gonna do?"

"I'm gonna bandage them up." Johnny looked at my stomach and re-traced the lines I made with his eyes before biting his lip uneasily,

"What's up Johnny?" Elisa asked.

"Thank god Elisa's here, It would be so uncomfortable if she wasn't."

"What? Why, what's going on?"

"Nicole, because the wounds are so close to your chest, you need to take off your shirt. Don't worry, you can still keep your bra on, I don't want to make this any more awkward and uncomfortable than it has to be. And before you say anything Elisa, I'm not doing this just to see her without a shirt. If I was, I would have made her take her bra off too."

Elisa closed her mouth when he finished that because she was in fact planning on saying something smart-assed. I shrugged and took my shirt off. There was a big bleeding X on my stomach. Johnny took out a towel and some disinfectant.

"Nicole I'm warning you now, this WILL sting."

"Oh come on how bad could it-OW! FUCKING SLUT BAG WHORE!" I screamed in pain.

"Told you..." Elisa sighed.

"Nicole, I told you Bryan and Tala were dangerous and that you needed to be careful," Johnny reminded. "So what in the name of all things sane in this world did you do to make them do this to you?"

"I got back with Kai and it pissed them off." I shrugged. "Now let me ask you, what in the name of all things sane in this world made you punch a hole in the wall?"

"I got into an argument with Robert and I was mad..."

"OK, I know you're lying your ass off right now, but I'm too lazy to get the truth out of you."

Johnny shrugged and took out some bandages. "Ok, stand up and hold your arms out so I can wrap your stomach up."

"Why can't you just wrap up her whole torso-thing? Isn't that what you're supposed to do anyway?" Elisa asked.

"Yeah, but I know Nicole would hate me if I did anything to make her look flat-chested."

"Damn straight I would!" I agreed.

Johnny smiled and wrapped up my stomach. "There all done."

"Good, can I put my shirt back on now?"

"I suppose, if you want to that is..."

"As opposed to freezing my ass off? Thanks, but I'll put my shirt on."

"They won't get away with doing this Nicole," Johnny began as I put my shirt on. "I won't let them hurt you again."

"Thanks Johnny..." He wrapped his arms around me and I felt something that I haven't felt since I don't rememeber when. A feeling of safety.

"You're safe now, I promise. You don't have to worry anymore." I've heard those words before, from many people. But I've never believed anyone who said them. But hearing those words from Johnny, I knew they wer true. "Now let's go, before Kai suspects something."

"Good idea." Elisa and I walked out of the bus first, followed by Johnny. When we got outside, Robert was yelling at Tyson.

"YOU'RE A FAiLIURE! YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO WIN THIS WAY! YOU ARE SUCH AN UNCOUTH SIMPLETON!"

"Uh.. Robert, Tyson isn't even battling in the tournament," I reminded.

"Ah yes... they I shall train you instead."

"Sure why not?" We launched our blades and Robert ended up beating me.

"YOU ARE UNCOUTH! HAVE YOU NO FOCUSING ABILITIES? TRY AGAIN AND THIS TIME DON'T BE SO UNCOUTH!"

"I'm in pain right now so it's kinda hard to focus..." I muttered. We launched out blades and he beat me again.

"YOU ARE A BARBARIC UNCOUTH SIMPLETON! YOUR ACCURACY IS ATROCIOUS, YOUR SPEED IS POOR, AND YOUR TECHNIQUE IS THAT OF AN AMATEUR!"

"At least he didn't say she was a failiure at life..." Elisa muttered.

"AND YOU'RE A FAILIURE AT LIFE!"

"Spoke too soon..."

"Now we'll try this again, and again, AND AGAIN UNTIL WE GET IT RIGHT!" We launched our blades again except this time I kinda kicked his ass... "Now uncouth Bladebreakers. I have decided that you are finally ready to face the Demolition Boys tomorrow. Although as always I find you to still be uncouth, barbaric, un-civilized, and just plain...uncouth. I do believe that you have what it takes. Make us proud."

"So Mr. D. did we do what we were supposed to do?" Oliver asked.

"You did just fine," he nodded.

"What's going on?" Kenny asked. "I'M CONFUSED!"

"We after we were attacked, I called up Robert on my cell phone, explained what happened, and arranged this meeting. Although I think he went a tad wee overboard..."

"It doesn't matter," Robert shook his head. "The point is that they got out of it what they were meant to." All of us went to our new hotel and unpacked. It was pretty late when we were finally settled and I was mad tired. I had a pretty eventful day to say the least and that only added to it. I plopped down on my bed and passed right out.
