Frozen In Time
Diary Entry 20
Date: October 1, 1975
It was only yesterday that the terrible beast named Zeus was sealed away and our world returned to normal. But, just as I feared, the Justice 5 are growing weaker and weaker and we do not have the technology and knowledge to save them. However, there is an organization in America that has a special chamber that can preserve the children until a time in the future where they can be properly treated. I believe that this largely sponsored organization can save them, and that is something we all want to do. I just hope that this will work and that they will take care of them. We will miss them so much…
Entry ended.
Gritman Medical Hospital, Moscow Russia. October 3, 1975
Five full beds filled the largest room in the hospital. News has spread worldwide in a matter of hours about the miracle win over Zeus, and the agonizing defeat of the Justice 5. News anchors from all over the world came to this hospital in an undamaged part of Moscow to try and get word on the recovery of the children, but to no avail.
A man, no older then 30, walked into the room that was now dark and quiet, aside from the blinking light and beeping of the machines. He walked to each bed and looked over the bodies lying on them. He paused at Anaxandra and looked around, making sure no one saw him.
"I believe this belongs to you."
He removed a necklace from his coat pocket and carefully placed around her neck. On the necklace was a blue gem; the chain was name of silver. The gem faintly glowed and the man smiled. He gave one last looks at the teenagers and walked to the door. He looked back at them one last time before opening the door and walking out of the room.
Moscow Sheremetevo 2 Airport. October 4, 1975
The citizens of Moscow has returned just in time to see their heroes being flown across the seas to America, where they would be put into a 'deep sleep'. One by one the teenagers were wheeled onto the plain, barely able to wave goodbye to the country that had called home for the past weeks. Once on the plain, takeoff soon followed and minuets after they boarded the plane, they were flying.
Looking out the window, Kasandra saw clouds slowly go by, a few taking shape here and there. Peering down, she saw the earth below them.
"I can't believe it. We're just gonna leave our families behind? The people and things we love and care about most will be lost forever…"
Anaxandra looked over at the magical girl and smiled. "I'm proud of you Kasandra. You sealed Zeus all by yourself."
Kasandra took her eyes off the window and smiled back at her leader. "No I didn't. Everyone played a part in Zeus' downfall and the people can't thank us enough for it."
Lulu stepped in to the conversation. "They won't get to thank us for long. Don't you guys see? We're going to be frozen in a chamber that hasn't been fully tested and in a country I don't trust."
"Lulu, don't say such things! I mean, yea, the chambers haven't been tested, but you should at least trust these people."
"I'm not saying I don't trust the people Anaxandra, I'm saying I don't trust the country."
"Why don't you trust America?" Kasandra asked after a pause engulfed the plane.
Lulu sighed; everyone was waiting for an answer from her. "I'm a full-blooded Russian. America and Russia have different views on the way things should be. My father always told me, "Never believe what those American say. They'll tell you lies and corrupt your mind." but that was years ago."
Anaxandra mentally growled at the words Lulu's father had said to her. "But Lulu, I'm American, and you believe what I say, don't you?"
The young Russia opened her mouth to say something, but soon closed it, having nothing to say.
"Let's just forget about what's going to happen, and let's remember what has happened. We don't have for long until we leave the world as we know it." Kiba said to change the subject.
"Yea. Like, when we first met up." Rune said with a light smile.
"Or when Anaxandra shocked the Beyblade world with her gender bending." Kasandra added with a laugh.
"Hey, that was for the good of the females who wanted to Beyblade."
"But you almost got put in jail." The gunman Rune said with a chuckle.
Anaxandra pouted playfully. "You all suck." Everyone laughed and continued to talk about their memories as a team, both good and bad.
John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York, New York. October 5, 1975
The privet airplane slowly dissented into the New York airport. Once the plane cane to a complete stop, the teenagers and their bodyguards walked off the plane and into a nearby building to meet their new 'caretaker'. Though the Justice 5 stumbled sometimes during the short walk, they finally met up with the man who held their lives in his hand.
He was a fairly young man, somewhere in his early twenties. His black hair and red eyes held an untrusting feeling to them, but that wasn't the first thing the group noticed. Standing behind the man were five security guards. He looked back at them and the guards started a search of the teenagers.
Lulu glared at her new caretaker. "What is the meaning of this? Can you not trust us coming into your country?"
"I agree. I mean, why would we bring weapons or other things like that with us?" Kiba added.
The man smiled at the two. "I would never think of such a thing. The search is merely for nation security purposes." The security guards finished their search and nodded to the man before walking off in different directions.
"Now, I believe I have not properly introduced myself. I am Dr. Smith and might I say it is an honor to be helping you now."
Anaxandra took at set towards the doctor and the two shook hands. "It's nice to meet you Dr. Smith. I take it you already know our names?"
Dr. Smith nodded. "Of coarse. I would be a fool not to. Now, if you will follow me, I will take you to the BBA Research Facility and show you your new home."
The young Doctor lead the Justice 5 to a stretch limo parked outside the airport. Their guards were left behind and it was a short ten-minuet drive to the Research Facility. The building was huge and in the shape of a gigantic beyblade. More security was seen around the building, guarding the building and whatever lay inside. The guard at the main entrance let the limo in with ease and watched as it pulled up to the main doors.
"Here we are." Dr. Smith was the first to get out, escorting the others carefully from the limo. "Don't fall now, can't have you getting hurt now."
Kasandra thanked the man, as she was the last to get out. "I can't believe I'm here. This is terrific!"
Dr. Smith chuckled at Kasandra's reaction to the facility. "Well, you dream has come true. You all are very lucky. These chambers you will be sealed in are the first of its kind and are only here in New York City."
"So this some high-tech stuff we're dealing with here, huh?" Kiba asked the man.
"Indeed it is. The public has no idea of this."
Lulu placed her hand on her hip. "So what are we going to tell them of our sudden absence? Tell them we died?"
"Why yes, that's what we told them."
"What!"
"I'm sorry you had no say in this, but if the world found out that you we're going to be chronology frozen, who knows what would happen. Thieves and criminals might break in and try to harm you, and God forbid that happen."
Anaxandra saw what the man was getting at. "I understand. He's just protecting us. Thank you Dr. Smith."
"Not a problem. Now, let me show you your chambers before we start the process."
"Wait a minuet, we're going to be frozen today?" Rune would have thought at least another week would go by before they were sealed.
"We cannot wait any longer. Even by just standing here, you are loosing energy. I won't afford you to loose more. So, if you will follow me." Dr. Smith began to walk, not looking back to see if the teenagers were following him.
The group looked around at one another. They knew that they were losing energy, but not this quickly. They had just not noticed the seriousness of the situation. They looked at each other once more before following Dr. Smith down the hall.
Ninth Level of BBA Research Facility New York, New York. October 5, 1975
As the teenagers, lead by Dr. Smith, continued walking down the hall, it seemed as though it got darker and darker. Finally, they reached a metal door that blended with the walls with a red light above it. Dr. Smith walked to the side where there was a keypad and several other devices.
He held up his ID card and ran it through a scanner. He then turned to the keypad and typed something in. Next he scanned his eye, finger and a piece of his hair. Finally the door opened and they were aloud in.
"Wow, must be really important." Kiba said.
"It is. This is where you will be staying." Dr. Smith flipped a switch and the room was filled with light. The light reviled five containers that laid a foot or so off the ground. Connected the tanks were many wires and buttons. Behind them was a giant computer with even more wires, buttons, switches, blinking lights and keys. There was I gigantic tank in the back, but it seemed to have healed something else.
"This is your new home. That is, until you are awoken again."
The teenagers awed in amazement at the technology they were seeing. They walked around and examined the glass-top tubes. They ran their hands over their chamber, which already had their names on them. The chamber closest to the door was Lulu's, next to her was Rune, then Anaxandra, followed by Kiba and Kasandra the furthest from the door.
Anaxandra stared at her reflection on the glass. "Well I guess it didn't take long for you guys to get ready, huh?"
Dr. Smith chuckles and walked up behind Anaxandra. "No. In fact, these were ready two days ago."
The leader of the Justice 5 gave a fake smile to herself. The young Doctor spoke again. "I'll give you all a few minuets to say your final goodbyes." Without waiting, Dr. Smith left and went to retrieve a few more researchers.
The group stood in a circle of silence. "Well you guys, I guess this is it." Rune said sadly. Kasandra agreed with a simple "Yea."
"But it won't be forever, we'll see one another soon right?" Lulu tried to brighten up the mood, which was very rare for her.
"Yea. And when we do, we'll never be apart again!" Anaxandra pumped up her fist, but it soon fell down as she wobbled a bit.
Kiba grabbed her shoulders to steady her out. "Don't wear yourself out now."
She smiles up at him. "I won't."
"Let's get this over with. I hate dragged-out goodbyes."
"Aw, Lulu!" Kasandra smiled as she hugged her friend. Lulu returned it and soon everyone was hugging and trying not to cry. They all moved to the side of their chambers and watched as Dr. Smith and a few other men walked into the room.
"Are you five ready?" He asked.
When they replied with a simple nod, he gave them a smile and walked over to the main controls. He pushed a few buttons and pulled a leaver, causing the glass parts of the chambers to slowly raise open. Without being told to, the Justice 5 laid themselves in the chambers and watched as the glass slowly came back down. Anaxandra watched sadly over at Kiba's chamber as it sealed. She could not hear the loud hum of the large computer or the flow of a liquid through many tubes through the glass. She, along with the others, waited for what seemed like years to feel the effects of this new technology. About seven minuets after they laid themselves in their chambers, Dr. Smith activated the system and walked to each chamber and smiled at the teenagers, who smiled back gracefully.
And half an hour later, their smiles were just memories and the legend of the Justice 5 was written in beyblade and world history. They were frozen in time.
END
GOG: Second chapter! Yayness! So maybe this didn't clear anything up, or had nothing to do with beyblading, but this chapter will play an important role in the story. I hope you liked at and remember…review!
