Chapter 9
The humid air grew steadily heavier.
The once bright blue skies turning stone grey as the clouds blocked out the sun. Strong winds travelled down the now deserted streets and alleyways of Japan. Rubbish and leaves were blown about, racing along in a noisy clatter.
The city had turned into a ghost town, closing its eyes to the world, the people hidden away to ride this storm in safety.
Well most people anyway.
In the gloomy park, Max and Rei were enjoying the rush of the storms power as it surged around them. Bowing their heads to shield their faces from the wind, they headed back to wards Tysons house.
"This is going to be one hell of a storm!" shouted Max to Rei as they struggled into the gusts of wind. "Yes, I hope Tysons house wont be damaged. I'm going to have to do my hair when we get back!" Rei answered, smiling at his younger teammate.
A stronger gust of wind caught Max and he nearly fell, but Rei grabbed his arm. "Careful Maxie, hold on to me. We dont want to be out here when it starts to thunder." The taller boy pulled Max onwards. Max looked up at the sky as it flashed, when he suddenly screamed out, putting his hands on his eyes.
"Ouch, damn it Rei. Ive got dust in my eyes. I cant see!" Max stopped, despite the fact that Rei was still trying to pull him forwards.
"Well sort it out when we get back, were be there soon." Rei shouted over the noise of the storm. "We've stayed out too long already. I expect theyll send out a search party soon!" Rei tried to cheer Max up. He knew Max hated thunder, and it looked like it might start soon.
Looking down at his lover, Rei thought he looks so cute, Maxs eyes were squeezed shut, and his face was tight with defiant fear, knowing that he had just seen lightening. Blond hair blowing wildly around his pale, freckled face.
"Cute isnt he" came a cold voice from behind Rei, making him jump.
Rei turned his head at the new comer, knowing whom it was before they locked eyes. "Brian" was all Rei said. Max had frozen at the sound of his voice; Max had hoped never to see this boy again after what he had done to his friends. Luckily for Max, he could only hear him as he still couldnt open his eyes, so he clung onto Reis arm tighter with both hands.
Brian moved right up close to Rei so they touching, shoulder to shoulder. Violet eyes stared into strong amber eyes, void of any emotion, but hatred, and something else. What was that look?
"I've got something that will interest you" Brian's icy voice cut through the wind. Max tried pulling Reis arm, to move them away from the voice that was much to close for comfort. "And what might you have that I would want?" Rei answered stiffly, glancing down at Max, who was unusually quiet, though he was pulling his arm hard now.
"Well....." Brain answered, leaning towards Rei, he grabbed Reis ponytail with one hand and his shoulder in the other, twisting him around so they were so close their noses touched. As the first clap of thunder banged above them, he forced a kiss upon his lips. Rei was so shocked that for a second he didnt even react.
Amber eyes widened. Max felt Rei stiffen, but heard nothing but the thunder and wind. "Rei? What's going on? Rei?" Max started to panic, why wasnt Rei responding to him? "Brian, leave us alone!" Rei heard Maxs voice, but all he felt was the intense force of that kiss, stealing away his breath and thoughts. Then, as quickly as he had come, Brian vanished into the storm as the second flash of light spread across the sky.
Had they been able to see him in his hiding place, they would have seen that his face was a picture of pure happiness. Something that he should not be capable of.
"Rei answer me!" Max shouted louder now, "Rei, damn it what's going on?" Rei shook his head to clear it. "Im here Max. Its okay. Brian's gone." Rei spoke quietly, and Max could only just here him. "Rei, what happened? What did he give you?" Max shouted. He was worried, Rei didnt sound right. Rei ignored the question and dragged Max back to the Dojo. "Come on Max, let's get inside!" Rei abruptly cut him off. Feeling slightly uneasy and hurt, Max blindly allowed himself to be taken to the shelter.

The hospital was brilliant white. As Saska opened her eyes from the darkness, she thought that she might have actually died.
"Saska, my dear. Thank goodness your awake." Mr Dickinson's high-pitched voice broke her first thought, "You had me worried there for a moment my girl!" His jolly fat face poked into her view.
"How are you feeling?"
Saska gave him a smile. "Seeing what Ive just be through Stanley my dear, I feel quite well thank you!" She sat up, and looked around. "Im in a hospital?" she enquired. Mr Dickenson nodded his head abruptly, "Oh yes, you gave this awful scream at the airport, then passed out. We couldnt wake you up so the ambulance brought you straight here, that was about 20minutes ago. It looked like you were on fire. Most disturbing"
Saska raised her eyebrows at him. "Really? All I was doing was transferring some energy from Dranzer into Dragoon. That poor blue baby, didnt look like he would last much longer."
Mr Dickenson looked surprised, "Whats wrong with Dragoon?" Saska shocked her head and sighed "I dont know. But we need to find a cure, he's losing energy, and the cause, to stop it before it becomes irreversible." Looking up at Mr Dickenson, she smiled. "But dont you worry, I will work closely with the boys and their bitbeasts and together we will win this. Have faith!"
There was a commotion outside the room.
"Ah, that will be Tysons Grandfather. Hes, um, a little eccentric!"
The door burst open. "Hi there dude and dud-et! How you diggin'?" The tall, bright old man welcomed them. "Ive left the home boys behind....they...er....needed some time to themselves." He winked at Saska, who smiled back.
"Are they all right?" Mr Dickenson asked looking at Grandpa over the top of his spectacles.
"Ya, sure they are! Just had a bit of a wild time is all!" Grandpa spun around on his toes, embarrassed about what had happened at the Dojo, so he changed the subject. "Just been talking to your doctor dudes, wont let anyone leave the hospital til after da storm. So looks like we outta settle down here!" With that he somersaulted over the bed and sat down in the chair on the other side of Saska. Who seemed very impressed with Tysons Grandfather.
Outside the window was a flash of lightening.
Mr Dickenson sighed. It was going to be a long night.

Kenny looked at the Dragoon blade in his hand. It was one truly impressive piece of work. He was particularly proud of this blade. It was one of his and Dizzys finest works, so far.
Gently he slipped the Dragoon chip out of the blade and carefully placed it in a secret pocket in the side of his glasses. He had designed it in case of emergencies like these. Not that he had ever suspected that he would be the one to betray the team, even if it was to help them.
The wind blew Kenny's hair, but he didn't notice. It was a short walk to the neighbouring house where Tala was waiting for him to return.
Kenny knocked on the door.
The wind made the window shutters flap, he wished that Tala would shut them; they kept making him jump every time one of them banged on the wall.
The door opened. Kenny looked up and saw not Tala, but the Dark Blader in the doorway.
He gulped. This made his knee's shake, and he thought he might faint right there on the door step, until the Dark Blader grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him into the house, whispering harshly "You had better have it boy and pray that no-one followed you!"
Kenny stood in the middle of the room, Tala on one side and the Dark Blader on the other. "Show me the blade boy." The grim, cloaked man demanded. Kenny held out his hand, but kept hold of Dragoon. "First show me my computer." He managed to keep his voice steady, but inside he felt sick.
Tala raised his eyebrows in silent surprise, either this kid had lost his marbles, or he was very brave. The Dark Bladers eyes gleaming menacingly from with in his hood, but he pulled the laptop out from under his cloak.
"I have your computer boy" He rasped, "Now give me the Blade."
Kenny dropped Tysons blade into the mans hand and waited whilst the man studied it. He didn't dare breathe. Would the man notice that Dragoon himself was not there?
No one in that room breathed, all that could be heard was the rush of the storm from outside.
"Good. This is the blade," the man held it high above his head, as if in victory. "Here is your toy, boy." He handed Kenny the laptop, but stopped him before he left. "Tell me. How did you get this from Tyson?"
Kenny paled, if possible, and sucked in his breath. "Well I...um..picked it up," panicking he started to gush, "Tyson came running out of the D..D..Dojo...and crashed into me....he kind of ..um..dropped it..."
"And you just picked it up" Tala finished for him. Tala moved towards him. "So, why was Tyson running out of the Dojo in such a hurry with this storm coming?"
Kenny's face fell, "I don't know" he murmured, ashamed that he didn't know what had upset his friend. "I guess he and Kai have had an argument."
Tala smiled, this was perfect.
The Dark Blader saw Tala smile and knew what he was thinking. "Tala, you stay here. I will go and speak to my...."
Thunder crashed outside, blocking his final words, and making Kenny jump. Tala scowled. "Can..can...I go now?" Kenny begged, clutching Dizzy to his chest.
The Dark Blader nodded, "Yes, but if you double cross us, I know where to find you. Go."
Kenny turned and fled into the night, running next door to see what had happened to upset Tyson so much.
As the door slammed behind Kenny, the Dark Blader grabbed Tala by the front of his shirt. "You will stay here. I'm going to get Tyson. This blade does not contain the bitbeast chip. The boy must have it on him still."
Tala narrowed his eyes, "Tyson is mine remember! All you get is the Dragoon, I get Tyson!" The man shoved Tala back against the wall making Tala grunt, lightening flashed outside, "Stay" hissed the man and left.
Tala glared at the door as it was slammed shut. "If you harm a hair on his head, I swear I will kill you!" Tala whispered in anger.
The Dark Blader moved out into the storm in search of the lonely, confused boy in which he had a connection too.
